This is a re write of my story, The Traveler. I always enjoyed writing the Traveler and regret ever ending it in the first place, so here we go! However, I am going to make SERIOUS changes to the story. 1! No more Amethysts of Light, Shadow, or Trayzon. I intended the story to be like a kiddish version of doctor who, not a rip off of Sonic the Hedgehog. 2! X will NOT be turning good, and his fun little tricks are going to be changed. 3! Names will be changed cuz I feel like it. 4! Several adventures are going to be completely cut out, whereas many new adventures shall be added. 5! The story begins in 2012, not 2009. 6! The Hero is gonna regenerate a lot more! If you've read my story, you know what I mean. 7! I'll be adding a new character: The hero's computer, Dr. Nemoy (Pronounced Neh-moy, not nee-moy.) 8! The idiotic friend of the hero shall have a new personality! (rude as heck.) 9! No swearing whatsoever! 10! Unlike the original Traveler, some of the places our hero will visit do not exist in reality. 11! MORE JOKES!!! W00T!!! 12! Hubacharocha shall be MUCH more annoying! 13! You will NEVER know the hero's real name. NEVER. No, it is not William like in the original Traveler.
Now that I've established all the changes, it's time for the show! Please be courteous to others and silence your cell phones now. We thank you for your cooperation.
It was the middle of the night in a small, insignificant city called 'Infaron'. (Told you none of the places would be real!) In a disregarded alley in this disregarded city on the disregarded planet known as Earth, the ultimate adventure began. The story of a 16 year old boy who changed the Universe with the power of science. This... is the story... of...
The Traveler.
Chapter 1: Tumbling Time Travel!
At midnight, in the middle of the alley, there was a bright flash of light. Beams of red, yellow and orange blasted from the initial source of the light, illuminating the night sky. Wind blasted from the source of the light, sending discarded papers and other debris flying. Several rats fled the scene along with a frightened Hobo. The buildings themselves were forced a few millimeters away from the disturbance. A crater was made in the ground just beneath the great source of wind and light. The spectacle was concluded with a loud bang which shattered the windows of a nearby car, setting off the alarm. After that, the light, sound and wind faded. In their place stood a small boy with brown hair and brown eyes, freckles, medium hight and semi bulky body structure. In his right hand was a silver cylinder, about 14 inches long. It had several red buttons on it and was labeled with one word: Ytachon
In his other hand was a blue cube with dozens of blinking LEDs. It was labeled 'The Doctor's Office'. The boy lifted the Doctor's Office to his mouth and asked, "Dr. Nemoy, can you hear me?" "I hear you loud and clear. What is it you may need, Traveler?" The box asked. "The date." The Traveler answered. "Ah, let me get it for you." Dr. Nemoy replied. There was a beep, and then a holographic calendar was formed above the Dr.'s office. "Let's see... We left from 7:45 AM, 1984. It is now... ah crud." The Traveler said. "What is the problem, Traveler?" Dr. Nemoy asked. "I told the Ytachon that I wanted to go 500 years into the future. We only went 28 years into the future." The Traveler answered. "Ah, I see. That IS a problem. Shall I do a time bug scan? This is the 20th failed trial." Dr. Nemoy stated. "Make it so." Traveler replied. With that, he ran out of the alley and into the distance...
Meanwhile...
"ROD!!! YOU GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE, NOW, MISTER!!!" A shrill, middle aged woman shouted from her downstairs kitchen. "Look at this mess, sausages and hamburger everywhere! How can 1 teenager make such a mess in less than 2 hours?" She muttered to herself. A moment later, a scruffy, tired, 15 year old boy walked into the room and asked, "Mom, if you're gonna run me over with the Menstrual Cycle, can you do it when it ISN'T midnight?" "DON'T YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, YOUNG MAN!!!" His mother shouted. "Oh yeah, I forgot, you're too calm right now to be on your Menstrual Cycle." Rod retorted. "HOW CAN YOU SPEAK TO YOUR MOTHER THAT WAY?!?" She asked, getting angrier and angrier by the second. "Simple, I just did." Rod replied. "LOOK AT THIS MESS YOU MADE!!!" She shouted. "I didn't do it." Rod said. "WELL I SURE AS HECK DIDN'T DO IT, AND YOU'RE THE ONLY OTHER PERSON LIVING HERE!!!" his mother shouted. "Dad could've done it." Rod suggested. "HE LEFT FOR JAPAN RIGHT AFTER YOU WENT TO BED!!!" "What about Eddy?" Rod asked. "HE'S A CHINCHILLA!!!" "Koko?" "BLUE FOOTED BOOBY!!!" "Polly?" "ARMADILLO!!!" "Why do we have such odd pets, anyway?" Rod asked. "I DON'T KNOW, STUPID!!! YOU PICKED THEM!!!" "Yeah well sssssooooorrrrryyyy!" Rod replied. "SORRY WON'T FIX THIS MESS!!!"
"I know, so get cracking." Rod retorted. "I AM NOT GOING TO PICK UP YOUR MESS!!!" "It isn't MY mess!" Rod replied. "I DON'T CARE, JUST CLEAN IT UP!!!" She shouted, handing him the mop. Oh god, someone get me out of this Hell hole! ... Well, at least she didn't hit me with the frozen Tuna again. Rod thought to himself. (FYI, I know how to format a paragraph correctly. I'm just too lazy to do it right.) He then began to mop the floor.
By 7:30 am, the mess had been cleaned up. "Oh, crud, I'm late for school!" Rod exclaimed. "WHAT?!? GET YOUR BUTT OVER THERE!!!" His mother commanded. Rod grabbed his back pack and bolted out the door. He stopped in his tracks as soon as he took the first step outside. "M-m-m-mom?!? I th-th-th-think I kn-n-now w-where the m-m-m-mess c-c-came from!" Rod stammered. "What are you talking about?" His mother asked. She walked outside and fainted.
In the middle of the road, large globs of sausage and hamburger were running through the streets, and now had their eyes on Rod and his mother. Some of them were closing in. "Great, just great. Death by Sausages!" Rod exclaimed. (I know it's sausages AND hamburger, but in the original story, it was only sausages, and I used that line. I LOVE that line.)
Just as one of the meat monsters was a few feet away from Rod, it suddenly vanished! Behind it, The Traveler stood. It looked as though he had stabbed the creature with something, but that something was now nowhere to be seen. The Traveler then lifted his left hand, which had on a glove, and the Ytachon appeared in it. "Hey, it worked!" The Traveler exclaimed. Rod looked completely confused. The Traveler then continued to make all the approaching monsters vanish. He would stab a monster with the Ytachon, press a big red 'GO' button, make it and the monster disappear, and then make the Ytachon reappear in the gloved hand.
After all the monsters that were approaching Rod were gone, the Traveler approached Rod and asked, "Hello, what's your name?" "Uh..." Was Rod's only responce. "Uh? What kind of name is that? Is that sort of name POPULAR in this time period?" Traveler asked. "Hey, moron, my name's Rod ya idiot." Rod retorted. "Oh, I'm sorry, but I could've sworn you said 'uh' when I asked for your name." Traveler retorted. "Whatever. Who are you and what the heck did you just do?" Rod asked. "I don't tell my real name to people. I'm just known as 'The Traveler'. I just saved your butt by trapping all of those time bugs in the time stream." Traveler replied. "Dude, you're confused. Those weren't bugs, they were big wads of meat, moron." Rod said. "Actually, that's where you're wrong. The Time Bugs have 2 main abilities: Travel through time as the name suggests, and reanimate dead matter." Traveler explained. "Uh... how'd that little cylinder thingy get rid of them?" Rod asked. "Simple. It's a time machine known as the Ytachon. It works by moving faster than light. What happens is this: I stab the monster. Then, I activate the Ytachon and let go of it. It then drags the monster into the time stream. However, since the monsters are made of SAUSAGES, the Ytachon rips straight through them as soon as they're in the Time Stream, therefore abandoning them their. Next, I use my time glove to snatch the time machine out of the time stream. It's pretty simple when you think about it." Traveler answered. "Uh, I'm gonna assume that you're the number 1 nerd in the history of everything and what you just said is something that can't be understood no matter what." Rod replied. "It's magical." Traveler simplified the explanation. "Oooooh, I get it." Rod said. "So, how does the Time machine move faster than light, and how does moving faster than light allow time travel?" Rod asked. "The Ytachon is actually a particle accelerator. When 2 particles hit each other at near light speed, the energy produced creates a particle known as a Tachyon. Tachyons are particles that move faster than light only. The Ytachon uses an electro magnetic field to capture the Tachyon. The Tachyon then drags the time machine at speeds faster than light." Traveler explained. "As for your second question, the explanation is much simpler. Let's assume we have a block of wood. On one side of the block is space, and on the other side is time. We are in the space position. Now, if you hit the block, but you don't hit it fast enough, you won't break the board. Therefore, you won't get to the other side, which is time. However, if you hit the board fast enough, then it WILL break, and you WILL get to the dimension of time. The board that separates Time and Space is one that requires a speed greater than the speed of light. So, if we move faster than light, we can break the barrier that separates time and space." He continued. "I have one word for you." Rod said. "What?" Traveler asked. "NERD." Rod answered. "And proud of it." Traveler said. "So, you're a time traveler?" Rod asked. "More like a Time TUMBLER. I can't control WHEN the Ytachon takes me, so I've been tumbling through the time stream to random times and places! It SUCKS." Traveler corrected. "So, what do you plan to do to fix that?" Rod asked. "Simple. I'll exterminate the Time Bugs using a special pesticide. After that, I'll find a bug, examine it, and try to figure it out. Time Bugs can control when they go, so if I do research on them, I may be able to find out how they do it!" Traveler exclaimed. "Another question: Why haven't the time bugs attacked us again? We've been talking to each other for 5 minutes now." Rod asked. "They're afraid of me, that's why. I just defeated a few dozen of them, so they're keeping their distance from me. So, I guess the only logical solution is for you to come with me to the lab, so they won't get you as soon as I leave." Traveler said. "What about my mom? She may be a total arse face, but she's still my mom. We can't just leave her!" Rod exclaimed. "Not to worry." Traveler said. He pulled out his blue box and said, "Hypno-Pill, please." Suddenly, a holographic red pill appeared above the box. It solidified, and then Traveler placed the pill on Rod's mother's forehead. In an instant, she woke up.
"What's going on?" She asked. "You, your son, and I are going to walk past the monsters to my lab." Traveler said. "Okay." She replied. Rod's jaw dropped. "How'd you do that? She would never just say 'okay'. She'd say no!" Rod exclaimed. "Ordinarily, yes. But the Hypno-Pill has 2 functions: Awaken Anyone from sleep, and make them obliged to obey any command or suggestion they hear with the next 24 hours." Traveler explained. "Oooh! Let me have some fun before we go! Mom, slap yourself across the face AS HARD AS YOU CAN." Rod commanded. She obeyed. "that's not very nice." Traveler said. "She slaps me with a frozen Tuna." Rod retorted. "Oh, then continue." Traveler said. "Punch yourself in the mouth hard enough to knock out a tooth! Rip out a hand-full of your hair! Bite your tongue as hard as possible! Bang your head on the wall!" The torture went on for about half an hour before Traveler finally got Rod to stop. Afterwards, they headed for Traveler's lab.
The Traveler lead them both to a tree with a door carved into it. "This is the lab." he announced. "It's a tree!" Rod complained. "On the outside, yes. But on the inside, it is so much more." Traveler replied. He opened the door, and the 3 of them walked inside. It turned out to be a few hundred times larger on the inside than the outside. "How is this possible?" Rod asked, completely awe struck. "See that computer over there?" Traveler asked, turning Rod towards a large computer. "That's Doctor Nemoy, a super computer. He has generated a sort of digital world inside this tree. It's sort of like the Matrix." Traveler answered. "Awesome." Rod muttered. "Now, did anyone call for a pest exterminator?" Traveler asked.
