It had not experienced any form of
attack like it! The black force had seemed
capable of destroying it and it had
damaged regions of its consciousness, but it had escaped by using a
time field that froze time and space and it, but it had been unable
to use many of its functions in with the consequences of
it almost colliding with a colossal star, but it had escaped
through time to the prehistoric island on the distant early Earth,
where it later had left
itself buried away for billions of years!

It had still been able to function in many
ways and had found that the black entity had nearly destroyed
mankind and the Earth!

It had created technology from technology in
its memories and it had given it the ability to create trillions of
scenarios, with slight alterations, to check the outcome of
scenarios.

By creating events occurring and vanishing
from existence in trillionths of a second it had checked for a way
to repair itself and finally destroy the black entity, and after
many years it had come up with a plan that worked!

The plan had originally been unrealistic and
it had continually checked it over, and it had programmed its
subconscious mind to take it back through time to the beginning of
the scenario if anything went wrong, and it had started by
capturing the starship and putting itself below it, where it had
finally allowed itself to go into unconsciousness with its
subconscious mind carry out what it had programmed it to do, and it
had later been surprised that the occurrences had given it more
than what it had wanted.

It had added Bryson
’
s consciousness to its
consciousness when he had activated the black time probe sphere and
awakened it, and it had repaired its consciousness enough and in a
way that allowed it to repair itself further and return it to its
original condition, and it had even stored some of
Bryson
’
s
consciousness in its consciousness as it had been surprised at his
abilities to handle the most deadliest and almost impossible
scenarios!

After it had improved itself to beat the
black entity it had vanished into the future and destroyed it, and
repaired the damage that it had done.

It gained many abilities and explored
inconceivable dimensions and powers in the universe, going far
beyond its original knowledge and powers.

It created powers, going beyond anything
known, and used the powers to transform it into a real ultimate
time traveler that controlled the whole of time, and it had powers
to build universes.

Chapter 1

The Lost Soldier

While Dave Cameron awoke his vision was
strange and utterly unbelievable, with a hazy metallic bronze, and
he studied it everywhere trying to grasp what it was and he heard
increasingly extraordinary sounds!

He could feel little and his fingers probed
the cold ground and he used his arms to clean his eyes and saw
immediately he was lying in a farm field in a pool of muck,
surrounded by cows, and as he choked and spat out muck and dung he
started to realize the real problem and that he had entirely lost
his memory of his identity, and he found a nearly empty bottle of
whisky in his jacket pocket and examined it trying to grasp why it
was there!

He recognized a distant road over on his
left side that he knew was Floors Road and a bright blue building
near it that was Linn Products, but again he could not recall
why!

He crazily jumped up and down and the cattle
everywhere ran from his shouts and screams and he fought to remove
muck and water away from his sight while trying pull his embedded
legs out of mud, and he realized again that he had been asleep in a
pool of stinking mud, and he could not get why or what had
happened!

Some form of rare occurrence had taken place
and he struggled to force his mind to grasp it out or give him a
suggestion of an answer but he never got it and all he could see
was farm fields about him and some trees directly behind him, and
he heard cars on the A726 road behind the trees!

Annoyed he started shouting and screaming
again, wondering who the hell had dumped him in the pool of mud,
and spotted a farmer watching him on a tractor and trailer in the
distance and he started shouting, when he acknowledged him he
started swearing and making obscene gestures until the farmer
stopped and stood up and looked at him bewildered, as he waved his
arms wildly, and the farmer shrugged and jumped into his seat and
drove on.

Cameron shrugged back and started cleaning
the muck from his clothes and stood staggered when he realized he
was wearing an army uniform, and he slowly shifted away and sat on
the solid field nearby contemplating what had happened and what to
do!

At one point, to his surprise, a moving
object on Floors Road to his left side moved into a field, beside
Floors Wood, and shifted in his direction and he saw it was an army
truck and he wondered if he was connected to them and he considered
if he was running away from them, which justified him being in the
field and that he could have fallen and damaged his head.

Desperate for answers he started jumping up
and down again, and shouted over at the vehicle, and it increased
its speed and he acknowledged its arrival and stopped, and as it
drove up to him he stood looking at it bewildered, not realizing
what to do next.

When the army truck stopped he saw it
was full of soldiers, who all stared at him confused, and the
driver jumped out and marched up to him and stood smiling,
examining the mess he was in and the mess in the pool
–
looking as if he
had a mud fight with himself
–
and Cameron gasped at his
body
’
s
impression in it where he had been lying.

“
What in the hell are you
doing?
”
a
sergeant in the passenger seat finally moaned, as he lowered his
window, unable to control himself and stay silent any
longer.

“
I don
’
t understand how I got
here!
”
he
moaned back, unable to see what else he could do.

All the soldiers in the truck shifted out
the end of the vehicle to see what was happening.

“
Come off it,
buster!
”
the sergeant shouted, and examined a piece of dung on his
mouth with disgust.
“
What have you been doing
here?
”

The sergeant examined the nearby cows with
slanted eyes and all his footsteps and movements in and around the
pool.

“
What
’
s your name,
private?
”
he shouted.

“
I don
’
t know!
”
he finally admitted, seeing that he
couldn
’
t
avoid it.

“
You have to be kidding
me!
”
he
gasped.
“
You don
’
t even know your own name?
”

Suddenly an army Land Rover raced up
behind the truck and an officer, called Lieutenant Waring, jumped
out from the backseat, and shouted at the sergeant,
“
What
’
s going on, Sergeant
Malone?
”

“
This private doesn
’
t even know his
name!
”

“
How could that be? He had to give it
to get in the army I assume! Well soldier what have you to
say?
”

“
I
’
ve lost my memory, sir!
”

All the soldiers at the truck stood startled
and Malone got out the front of the vehicle and they all stood in
front of Cameron.

“
Alright then! Has anyone here got his
name?
”
Waring moaned.

To Cameron
’
s surprise three of the soldiers
immediately shoved up their hands and eagerly waited, and Waring
smiled brightly, just as a beam of sunshine beamed down over him
through a hole in a large cloud, and he walked up to Cameron and
studied his face, still covered in a thin layer of muck.

“
I
’
m sure I
’
ve seen you ...
”

“
His real name
’
s Dave!
”
one of the three soldiers
who knew him shouted.

Malone removed a pen and paper, and
moaned,
“
What
’
s his second name, private?
”

“
Cameron!
”

“
Is that right!
”
he groaned loudly, and
sighed and firmly held his forehead in his hands and stayed that
way for a few minutes and returned to what he was doing, entirely
ignoring the problem.

Cameron tried to recall the name but could
not, and thought the soldier looked familiar though and tried to
recall his name.

Suddenly Waring gasped and looked at his
watch and realized something and that he was late for
something!

“
Well, Malone, handle this man would
you! I
’
ve
business to attend to! And try to find a way to give him his memory
back!
”

“
I
’
ll surely do that!
”
Malone muttered sadistically, and
they saluted and Waring rushed away.

Malone ordered Cameron to go into the
back of the truck with the other soldiers where he sat slouched and
grasped the gravity of the situation and that he could not recall
anything and sat dazed and confused and shifted next to the three
soldiers that knew him, as they were the only ones that knew
anything, and he soon got their names
–
as Tod Simpson (who was the soldier
who had told him his name), and Johnny Fogler and Harry
Hanks.

As the old truck slowly bumped up and
down through the field Cameron
’
s name went through his mind rhythmically,
vanishing and reappearing, and he failed to recall a single thing.
What was he doing there? Simpson treated him like he was part of a
crime, with Simpson and the other two soldiers, which they refused
to say and which they were sure he would eventually
recall.

At a field (behind where
Rudolf Hess’s plane had crashed
during the Second World War)
, he saw a large group of
big army tents and he examined them in detail trying to see what
they were doing there, as he expected to be taken to a real army
base.

From their conversations he pieced together
that they were all new recruits and on an army mission there, which
he never grasped, and the others gave occasional gasps at, which
grasped his imagination and he wondered why he could have done such
a thing as join the army as he was sure he had no interest in
it.

As the truck rolled into the army site he
even wondered if they were playing a joke on him and that they had
not known him!

The situation was unbelievable! He did not
know what the future held and if he was in danger!

In the sleeping tent he examined everything
about his bed looking for clues and found little and realized the
three soldiers had been close to him as his bed was in the middle
of theirs and they communicated regularly as though they knew him
well.

Yet when he went away and got cleaned up,
and washed away all the muck that had been covering his face and
head, and put on new clothes and returned, they sat on their beds
gasping and examining him, giving occasional whispers, staggered
mainly at his face, and the other soldiers sat staring over for
long periods contemplating things and carrying out silent
conversations.

In the end they laughed and cracked silent
jokes that he was unable to hear, leaving him wondering what the
hell was happening and what the future was.

One of the men eventually entered the
tent, after having left a few minutes earlier, and walked straight
up to Cameron and stared right in his face, and moaned,
“
Malone wants to
talk to you!
”

“
What about?
”

“
Don
’
t know! Probably to do with what
happened today!
”

Cameron jumped up and drank what was left of
a can of beer beside him and rushed out.

When he entered
Malone
’
s
tent Malone was sitting in a seat at a desk moaning to someone on a
phone, with another soldier standing in front of the desk, and
Cameron stood beside him.

Malone glanced over and gasped, stopped
talking and continued, and examined him looking straight into his
face as if he saw something he did not fully want to see and could
not quite grasp and studied him and left it.
