*a ways away from Control*
Phew.
I've walked quite a ways. I think this is the town where Starbird
is. But where is he? I guess I'll ask around town.
*walks
by*
*excuse
me.*
Yeah?
Is this
the town in which a man named Starbird lives?
Who
wants to know?
I am
Chief Tim of Control. We are in need of his help.
Hmm.
Control eh?
Yeah.
Head
straight down the street and enter the last house on the left.
That is his home.
Thank
you. *walks towards the house*
What
does Control want?
*enters
the house* Starbird?
Who
wants to know?
Wait a
second. Didn't I just see you down the road? *looks outside*
*waves
from a distance*
*looks
inside*
*waves*
Ok. This
is confusing.
Hahaha.
I don't blame you. That is me, and me is me.
Huh?
It is
rather confusing. But what happened is that I went ahead in time,
and in about an hour, I go back in time to this exact minute and
I stand down the road.
... huh?
Nevermind.
I am Starbird, nice to meet you.
Ah, so
you are Starbird.
Yes
indeed. I am the inventor of the Time Machine. *rolls up his
sleeve and shows a watch* This little thing can move me forward
and backwards into time.
Yeah
right. Prove it.
*turns a
dial on his watch* In exactly 30 seconds, I'll disappear and
reappear within a minute. The clock on the wall will be exactly 1
minute faster than mine. *disappears*
*waits a
minute* Oooooooooooooooo....kay.
*reappears*
There *shows Tim the watch* exactly a minute.
I'll be
damned. It actually works.
So, what
did you need me for?
You know
about the new evil group named FOWL?
Yup.
I've heard of them.
Only
time can destroy them. And a man named Rune told us to find you.
Rune eh?
How is that fart doing?
Uh... he
sacrificed himself to save the rest of us.
Oh.
What can
you do for us?
I have a
bit of a new device in the works. The Sword of Ages I call it.
What
does it do?
It is
suppost to age whatever it touches. Making it old and weak.
Wow. We
could use something like that.
Only
thing is, I started making it so that it would fit Orakio's hand.
Only he can use it.
That
sucks. He's gone helping an old friend of his.
Yeah, he
called and told me.
Anyways,
will you help us?
Give me
a few days and I'll be over to give you the sword.
Thanks.
I'll be heading back now. *walks away*
