Time (by Ethan)

Time is awesome. It really is. But, it can be bad, too. You know how I know? I've really been through time. My name's Tim, by the way. It all started when I was ready to start summer, and then, a big burst of blue lightning blasted up from the ground. I saw a guy standing there. It looked like he was expecting me. "Hello, me." He said. I was speechless. But, when I looked closer, I figured out it was me. Me from the future, to be exact. I was confused until he told me that he was recruited from the Important Missions for the Future Heroes (I.M.F.H.) and that a dangerous villain: the Time Tyrant appeared on the Time Cameras, security cameras taken through time and installed with a special device that sends messages through time. "The Time Tyrant is a level 20 dangerous villain. He must be stopped." The future Tim said. "How do we get there?" I replied, not knowing the physics of time travel. The future Tim brought out a button and pressed it. Suddenly, we were engulfed in a big ball of blue lightning. Everything was spinning. And then, the world disappeared. You know how after a really fast roller coaster ride you get queasy? Well, imagine that, except 100x dizzier.

We ended up going to the time of the 70s. Bathrooms weren't as good as now, but I just ran to the nearest one while the future Tim interrogated some suspicious-looking people. While he did that, I had to go in a long line just to use one stall. My stomach had the worst timing ever. I couldn't hold it much longer. Whew! What a relief! I felt better, but the guy in front of me didn't. He turned around. "I-I-I'm sorry, sir! I--!" When he turned around, he tore off his face. A disguise! As soon as I saw who he was, my face turned pale. 1/2 hour later, I dashed into my future self. "Hey, Tim?" I started. "Hmm?" the future Tim replied. "Does the Time Tyrant have red eyes?" "Yes, he does." "Does he have sharp claws?" "Yup." "Does he have fangs?" "Uh-huh." "Does he have weird-looking legs and a tail?" "Definitely." "Does his breath smell like garlic, socks, and onions?" "Yes. Why do you ask?" "Cuz' I think I found him." When the future Tim turned around, the Time Tyrant, in all his ugliness, was standing there with an evil grin. He swung his needle-like tail and aimed at me. "So, Tim, we meet again. And this time you brought a 6th grader? Hah! Pathetic!" He brought out a laser gun and zapped the future me. "An energy zapper. It freezes you in a blast," the TT explained. "It's amazing how technology evolves! Now for you, Past Time!" I looked around for something to use. that's when I noticed something sticking out of future Tim's pocket. I grabbed it and read the title of the object. Lightning Taser, 2067 edition. I zapped the Time Tyrant, causing electricity to wash over him. He was able to press a button on his belt. that made a red ball of lightning engulf him. When the ball disappeared, TT was gone. So, just for fun, I grabbed an air horn and blasted the future Tim. Then, he fell down. So, I guess, air horns disable the effects of the energy zapper.

We heard a voice over the Time Communicator: "Agents Tim, we caught the Time Tyrant in the act. He is at the time of the Ice Age." "So," I asked the future Tim. "Got a winter jacket, boots, and a grappling hook?" 100,204, 350 years ago, we arrived just on time to see the Time Tyrant put a woolly jacket on. It was clear that he stripped the wool off of a woolly mammoth. A naked mammoth was lying there, ashamed of itself. "It doesnt' have to be this way, Time Tyrant!" the future Tim yelled. "Oh yes it can!" the Time Tyrant yelled back. He pushed a button on a small device. Then, everything started to shaking. And then, the snow started to fall down. Not as in the weather, as in --- "AVALANCHE!!!!!" I screamed in horror. The future Tim and I ran as fast as our heavy-duty grip snow boots would let us. We managed to stay ahead of the disaster by 100 feet. That gave us enough time to think up a plan for 30 seconds. "We could use this bark," I suggested. "As a tobogganing sled on a hill." "Or," the future Tim said, "We could climb up the tree." "There isn't enough time!" "I complained. "Okay, let's do it your way," future Tim said. "But HURRY!" We grabbed a big chunk of wood from a tree and jumped in it the second the avalanche hit us. I read flash appeared and disappeared. "After him!" I yelled.

We went to the time before the world was created. "Hey!" I yelled. "Who turned off the light?" Suddenly, a loud voice as loud as thunder said, "Let there be light." Great. First I don't have any light, and now I have more than enough. Then, I saw what would be earth. "Tim?" I asked. "Are you sure that this is TT's location?" "Whoops." The future Tim said. "Wrong coordinates."

So, we went forward in time to the time of knights. Then, this red knight tried to slice me into human sushi! Luckily I dodged, but not enough. It was getting chilly. Or, at least I was. "Do you feel cold?" I asked. So, I turned around and noticed that the back part of my shirt was torn. Eventually, I had that fixed. But then, something bothers me. When I ducked, I noticed red eyes and a tail on the knight. Suddenly, it occurred to me--- "THAT KNIGHT IS THE TIME TYRANT!!!" And then, the future Tim pulled out tow bars. He handed one to me and said, "Press the blue button, but not the green one." I was curious to find out what the free button did, but I just pushed the blue button. And then, a blue motorcycle design burst out and transformed into a real motorcycle based on the design. The future Time did the same. Together, we chased the Time Tyrant until a red flash appeared. I tossed out a blue bomb and a blue ball covered both of us. We followed the TT to the --- that's weird. We went to where the future Time came from. The the Time Tyrant appeared in a big, hulking robot. "Uh, oh. We're in big trouble!" I said as I grabbed a laser gun and blasted the metal shell. It didn't work. "Yikes!" After using all of our weapons, I freaked out and hid. The future Tim fought the Time Tyrant while I hid in the office spaces.

When I came out 10 minutes later, the Time Tyrant was beaten up by the future Tim with boxing gloves on top of him. "How did you beat him?" I asked, astonished. "I have my ways." The future Tim answered. "Well," I said, stretching. "Looks like the world's saved. can you drop me off back home?" "In a flash." was his only answer. In an eye-blink, I flew back 10 years and landed on the sidewalk of 2013. and that, readers, is the story of time.
