The Deadliest Haunted Castle (23 page)

The Tower
Removal

Gold and white radiances loomed over a
shadowed region of the tower, while an immense lifting vehicle
hauled it up, while the pilots aboard it controlled the computers
and monitored it.

Kruger watched it with the two paranormal
scientists, beside other major scientists, at the edge of the flat
top of the castle.

The operation had been far more difficult
than they had realized, as they found objects inside the tower that
had apparently held the tower up, under the hideous conditions the
alien had subjected it to with its incredible powers. The structure
would have collapsed a long time ago if it had not used them!

It was virtually the only thing that they
had successfully found the use of that belonged to it, and they
could barely work out how they worked.

The top part of the tower glided away, under
the vehicle, and they moved it over to the castle roof, where they
were, and placed it in the central region, and the vehicle lifted
away, and left to go down below.

Kruger watched the towers shape probing its
way amidst the abyss of the stars behind it, and gasped as a giant
star exploded with light, turning into what had to be the biggest
nova and explosion that he had seen.

All the scientists gasped, and some filmed
it, and watched parts of blast out into space, scattering beams of
blinding light, and he saw that it was in fact the merging of two
suns, being pulled together, as they were being dragged into the
black hole at the center of the galaxy, and he moved his feet over
the silky dust that rested on the roof, which had fallen there over
night from space, and he wondered if the remains of it would come
down as it, and he would actually touch the remains such a powerful
phenomenon.

The air stuck deep in his lungs for a moment
as he considered the dust being in the air, and considered how it
affected the world.

In the powerful sunlight of the nova, the
shadow of the whole pinnacle and tower stretched across the world
like gigantic alien finger/claw, as though pointing at something,
and he considered it for real for a brief moment and dismissed
it.

Faint echoes of a distant meteorite landing
appeared, and sounded like the nova explosion coming through the
dense galaxy, and reaching the world, and it vanished into an
extraordinary silence, as they all approached the tower to begin
work, and to watch them remove the alien in the energy bubble, and
place it there, for them to check properly, out of the tower.

The Monster
Captured

Altering forms
of the monsters consistently rematerialized in the energy bubble,
as it floated over the center of large stone castle roof, as all
the scientists stood around it examining it, trying to grasp what
it was and was doing there.

Kruger watched
the vehicle remove the tower away to the GX1 for examination,
leaving only the energy bubble and alien there, and he wondered if
they were underestimating its powers and if it was a mistake
removing it from the tower.

The thing did
resemble a magical being in its normal state. If it actually had a
normal state, and he tried to grasp what it could really be, and
why it had chosen the castle and region overlooking the center of
the universe, and he gasped again as its giant demon shape appeared
and glowed with energy, and altered and whirled within hideous
energy surges – while it was consistently stopped from vanishing,
to where they never knew.

Kruger spotted
a new vehicle flying in from over the horizon, as it appeared
there, heading towards them, with all the equipment that they would
use to carry out an examination of what they could, in a brief
examination, before they took it to the GX1 for it to be properly
checked – with them checking if it should be brought aboard.

The alien
shape at times looked as if it was looking directly at him, as if
thinking of communicating, and was soon thrown into a turmoil of
reactions, which left him considering if it was the energy bubble
the two paranormal scientists had put it in or if it was it that
was putting it in the state it was in.

Surely the
energy bubble could not cause such a consequence?

But he was
sure it was some sort of entity/life form and that it was trapped
there, and he wondered what the paranormal scientists intended to
do with it. If they never left it there, would someone eventually
remove the energy bubble – to either investigate it more closely or
check its normal state, and if they removed it what would happen?
Surely they had not forgotten the alien in the void already, and he
thought that it should be checked out of the energy bubble before
it was taken aboard.

Chapter 26

The Time
Alterations

At the
edge of the energy bubble
, altering wildly, gleams of
light from bright stars were being held motionlessly, and were
being filmed and studied by the scientists.

The entire top of the castle was now covered
in equipment and scientists studying the alien in the energy
bubble, and of the discovery made earlier in close examinations of
the energy bubble.

A clock placed at the end of a cable was
entered into its field, and the scientist reacted immediately when
they received results, and concluded that its precision digital
numbers were being frozen, and into multidimensional forms as the
cable shifted, and they studied the suspended cluster of partially
transparent layers, as they moved in with cameras.

The two paranormal scientists were
controlling the experiments of the leading scientists, and had
gained a great deal of status and authority with them, and aboard
the GX1, where most of the filming of it was being shown on the
media.

Both occasionally gave detailed explanations
of what they were doing, and believed was occurring, and they had
the cable released further, edging it into the confines of the
energy bubble, creating more spectacular optical effects with the
clock, making it distort in twisted forms, like shaping beams of
light with matter.

All the numbers on clock shifted fast
forward to their surprise, and all the scientists, technicians, and
archeologists there crowded around it loudly discussing it, and
applauding the find, as it was the first discover of time
travel.

Kruger stood with them startled, though he
had known it existed, he had not proven it, and believed Don had
traveled back in time, and he had been waiting for it to appear
somewhere, to prove it, and for the event to take place, and he
watched it wondering what the hell it was, as it was far more
different than he had thought, and he had not realized or heard
anything that could explain anything to him, and he had
deliberately stayed near the two paranormal scientists and main
scientists in hope of picking something up.

It looked as though it were rupturing space
in a way that played with time. It had properties of suspending it!
It was creating alterations in it and the fabric of space, but
could it allow some form of gateway into the depths of time to
exist?

Many of the leading scientists were carrying
out numerous basic and complex experiments all around it, using
equipment, and others were recording various things about it, and
great amounts of detailed information were being sent back to the
GX1 for them to analyze in a far greater degree.

Nobody had been able to determine its
origins or if it came from the galaxy. Yet they were in another
universe, which they had not checked in any proper degree, and
there were many occurrences there and in the black hole that were
still unexplained, and their voyage through the galaxy had shown
that many mysterious things existed there.

It would take the rest of their lives to
explore the place properly and make proper findings, and they may
never fully achieve their goal, and it could be found long after
they existed.

He had shuddered as he had studied its shape
hovering about, and its occasional appearance, like a lion eyeing
up its prey.

The abnormal antics of some of the
scientists at times captivated him, mystifying him with the depth
of their nervousness and fear of something! Some still repetitively
studied the readings from their equipment and with alarm
–
preparing
themselves for something, which he saw the two paranormal
scientists slowly become aware of!

What the hell was it? What was the thing?
Was it really a supernatural entity? Could something go wrong?

A swift flash of light appeared and exploded
at the edge of a region of the energy bubble, silencing all the
scientists.

From it they got a proper view of what
happened when the light entered its radius, and they were able to
analyze slowed down views of the occurrence.

Kruger listened to a scientist
explaining the occurrences to an audience on the GX1,
stating,
“
It manipulated space and time within its
outer radius! It can accelerate, decelerate, and suspend it ... The
clock is now suspending it
...”

The cable emerged outwards pulling the clock
backwards, with its numbers swiftly turning backwards until its
numbers once again became motionless, and Kruger considered if they
could use whatever it was to make some form of time machine.

He wondered if in reality time was something
far different from what they perceived. But would he ever know? And
he just accepted the philosophy! And he was still sure Don was an
older version of him!

“
What are they intending to do with
it?
”
he
asked Mitchel, curiously.
“
Are they going to construct something from
it?
”

Mitchel examined him, almost sensing
something, wondering why he had an interest, and looked annoyed
about something.

“
They, of course, have investigated
little so far, and if they do, you will be
informed!
”

“
If they
can reconstruct it, they can
use it for many things,
including uses in industry!
”
he continued.
“
Stopping time is an incredible tool
... With incredible uses ...!
”

“
They
have made other findings you know!
If you take an
observation of its shifting movements, for one thing
–
which they have
been studying closely
–
its constrained pattern of movements has
dramatically altered in some regions in space ...
”

Kruger examined its lethal appearance,
like a large bubble full of pure transparent energy
–
buzzing wildly
and dangerously
–
ready to discharge somewhere.

“
Do you think you have created and
have something
new
here?
”
he asked, firmly.
“Two unheard of inventions of great power combined ... The
incredible paranormal energy source, in the depths of a new and
different universe, with a different makeup, in a galaxy never seen
before, with hidden powers beyond our imagination from such a rare
being, combined with your energy bubble that has been discovered
for the first time from all the technology of worlds, over hundreds
of years!

“
The combinations of powerful energy
sources have created many great discoveries!
”

“
There may be! It could very well be a
one of a kind situation, and we have perhaps a long time to explore
it! Perhaps we could find some form of time travel
–
which may not be
found anywhere else
–
or something else!
”

“
We may not need to wait that
long!
”
Bryan stated, moving over.
“
Most inventions allow people to get
their best properties straight away. They will in a few days be
giving out all the details from all the findings, and from all the
experiments, which may be very interesting if I am not mistaken.
They have barely even scratched the surface of
it!
”

Chapter 27

Its Capture

The time being
might have been thrown into the realms of hell, into another
reality, with its magical being shape altering and whirling within
hideous energy surges, threatening to obliterate it, but it
consistently had stopped it and it falling out of space and time
altogether, and it had consistently altered.

The center of it had glowed bright like a
sun from the energy that it had been trapped in, altering and
becoming more powerful and then dimming, with it whirling
increasing and decreasing, shaking everything furiously about from
the impact of powerful energy forces, from something strange from
outside, and though it had reappeared at the correct location, it
had been trapped there.

It had remained perplexed, and it had
stopped making attempts at escaping, and tried to establish what
had gone wrong.

On and on it
had kept going, and it had seen the humans emerge on the tower
stares, and confirm what it had started to suspect, and that they
had set a trap and had caught it. It had underestimated them
greatly! It would have been normally virtually impossible to do
what they had done, and it would be lucky to survive the ordeal! It
slowly had realized that they had methods of detection that it had
never heard of, but it also had slowly realized that they never had
time travel as it had originally known.
