In Time
This is the Second book of the quest of Pete and his friends. Our cast is
Pete, the hero, Flatfoot, a rock, Gene, a donkey, Dash, a horse, Scizor, a
bug, Wingfoot, an eagle, Slip, a water dragon, Mr. Spinky, a guide, Shove,
a shovel, Sparks, a thunder dragon, Rocky, a rock dragon, Flare, a fire dragon,
Brett, a time master, Ray, a raytrid, and Shredder, a creature with big claws.
When we last left Pete and the gang they had just gone into the past.
There was a flash in a seemingly remote mountainous area. “Wow” said
Flatfoot. “So this is the past.” “Hey, I thought we were going to Water Land
with the time crest.” said Flare. “Yeah but the time crest is in the past.”
said Mr. Spinky. “Oh” said Flare. They walked down the mountain to where Brett’s
village is in the present. “Oh no “ said Brett. “What?” said Pete “Even if
we find the time crest we can’t go back to our time!” Brett explained. “Why?”
everyone asked. “Well, I just remembered I can only go into the past!” Brett
explained in a sorry tone. “Well, I could help you then.” said a unfamiliar
voice behind them. Pete turned around to see a beautiful girl. “Hi” she said.
“Hi” Pete said. “Can I talk to you alone?” she asked. “Sure.” Pete said. Pete
and the mysterious girl went to a different spot while the others waited.
“Well, it sounds like I could help you out.” she said. “I can go to any time
period.” “Do you want to come with us on our quest?” asked Pete. “Oh, my name’s
Pete.” “My name’s Rini.” she said “It means Cherry Blossom. What kind of quest
are you on?” “We’re on a quest for a magic bean.” said Pete. “Ok, I’ll come
with you.” Rini said. Then another girl came out of one of the houses. “Oh,
this is Nicki.” Rini said. “Hi” she said. So they continued on.
Pete explained to Rini and Nicki on why they are in this time. “So the bean’s
here in the past?” Nicki asked. “No, the time crest we need to go over Water
Land is here.” said Pete. “And we need that to get at least 9,000 miles near
the bean.” said Mr. Spinky. “Not if we speed up time.” Rini explained. “Then
it would take about 4,000 miles to get there.” “Wow” said Flatfoot. “Um, Flatfoot?”
asked Gene. “Yeah Gene.” said Flatfoot. “Why do you always say that?” asked
Gene. “What?” asked Flatfoot. “Wow” said Gene. “Because I’m amazed at stuff.”
said Flatfoot. “Like everything?” asked Gene. “Hey, what do you expect I’ve
never moved. I am a rock, you know.” said Flatfoot. “Ok I understand now.”
said Gene. “Where to now?” asked everyone. “The Raytrid Farms.” said Rini
and Nicki. So everyone continued to the Raytrid Farms.
“The Raytrid Farms are famous for their raytrids.” said Nicki. “They’re
the best of the best.” “Hey, I bet I’m as good as them.” said Ray. “Maybe”
said Brett. “Hey your supposed to be on my side!” Ray said. “I didn’t say
you are not as good as them.” said Brett. “We’ll see.” said Ray. They arrived
at the Raytrid Farms. “Welcome” said a man. “Hi” Pete said. “I see you have
a raytrid.” he said. “Would you like to test him against ours?” “Of course”
Ray said. So Ray got ready for the special test. “So what do I have to do?”
Ray asked. “Just race against our top nine raytrids.” the owner said. “Ok”
said Ray. Ray got ready. “Start when I say Go.” the owner said. “Ready. Go!”
“They were off. The course looked like this:
S------- ------------wwwww -------- --------
B| L| |B
-------------- wwwwwww--------- -------F
Key:
S-Start w-Water (raytrids can’t swim)
B| or |B- small obstacle L|- big obstacle F-Finish
----- ----- -break in the path (must jump good to get over)
Ray started off good. He jumped the first break in the path. “This is easy.”
said Ray. He turned at the first turn and grew to a big size and jumped over
the obstacle. He then turned again and once more. He then turned small and
went through the obstacle. He turned again and saw all the raytrids in front
of him jump in the hole. “What are they doing?” he wondered. He jumped the
hole and while he was in the air he looked down and they weren’t down there.
“They’re gone!’ he said. He landed and continued in the race. “Well, since
there gone that means I win.” he said. But when he got to the end all the
raytrids were there. “What?” he said “How did they get there?” “Well, you
came in last.” the owner said. “But you were good over the holes.” “Hey, I
want a rematch.” Ray said. “Fine. Tonight. 7:00.” he said. Everyone then spent
the rest of the day in the farms.
“Shredder.” said Ray. “Yeah?” “Come here.” They went to the racecourse. “What’s up?” “I think they cheated.” “How could they?” “Well, they jumped in here and disappeared.” “Hmm.” “So I wondered If you could help me out.” “Sure” Ray led Shredder to the first hole. “So you want me to dig under the course?” “Yeah, like a V.” “From the first hole to the last hole?” “Yeah, and then I’ll jump out of the hole and win.” “Okay, buddy.” “Your the best.” “No problem.” “Thanks” “Anytime.” So he did this.
That night at seven, the raytrids got ready. “Ready. Go.”
At the beginning Ray jumped in the hole and rolled down the tunnel. “Now I
just need to climb up.” said Ray. He climbed as fast as he could and jumped
out of the hole. He ran the rest of the way and was first to finish. The rest
finished and then the owner came. “You won!” he said in amazement. “All right!
Go Ray!” Shredder screamed. “Nice Job” said Pete. “You are as good as these
raytrids.” said Nicki. “Sorry Ray.” “That's all right, Nicki.”
“Now we need to go to Buck’s Tours.” said Rini. “He’ll take us were we need
to go.” So they went to Buck’s.
“Well, I guess I’ll help you out.” Buck said. “I’ll do it for free this time
because I know and helped Rini and Nicki out before. So your really lucky
you have them around.” “I guess so.” said Pete. “So where do you need to go?”
“We need to get the time crest.” “Well that means we need to go to Projection
Caves.” “Why is it called that?” asked Flatfoot. “It’s called that because
it projects images of you that come out of the mirrors. Then if someone sees
you and the mirror person it’s hard to tell them apart.” “So you could attack
the wrong person.” “Yep.” “Well, let’s go then.” said Pete. “Ok. Ready when
you are.” So with Buck as their guide they continued on.
“Well, we’re almost there.” Buck said after a while. “So what are
we up against?” asked Pete. “Well anyone who can attack can be dangerous.”
“Why?” “The mirror person can attack too.” “You never told us that.” “Oh,
well who can attack?” “Everyone but Flatfoot, Shove, and Mr. Spinky.” “Well
than it might be tough.” “What should we do? asked Pete. “Well, a lot of towns
have some problem. Maybe we can leave someone to help them than we won’t have
so many.” “Okay.” They went to the nearby town of Molten Rock. “This city
has been covered by molten rock for some time.” Buck explained. “Well I could
stay here and help.” said Shove. “Thanks Shove.” said Pete. So everyone said
goodbye to Shove. On the way to a tour school there were two stones. Flare
and Rocky were further ahead than the rest. “What are they?” asked Flare.
He tried to pick one up but it was heavy. “Here I’ll help.” said Rocky. When
Rocky touched the stone there was a flash. After the flash there was only
one dragon. “Hey where’s Flare?” asked Pete. The dragon went to them and explained
what happened. Meanwhile Sparks and Slip touched the other rock.
Poof. Only one dragon was left. The other dragon finished explaining. “Wow.
So what should we call you?” “Well I guess Earth Burner.” said the dragon.
“So your Rocky and Flare together?” asked Pete. “Yep” “Hey where’s Slip and
Sparks?” He looked around and saw one dragon. “Oh no! So what’s your name?”
“I guess Storm.” said the dragon. “This time your finished.” said a voice
below. Monkeyman appeared. *sigh* “You’re annoying.” said Pete. Monkeyman
dug underground. “Not this again.” “Shredder dig a hole in the ground.” said
Nicki. “Ok” Shredder dug the hole. Monkeyman popped up in front of the hole.
Just then a ball hit him. He flew in the hole. “Ouch.” he said. “What’s happening
down there?” asked Flatfoot. “You’ll see.” said Rini. There was suddenly an
explosion in the hole. Monkeyman flew away. “What happened?” asked Flatfoot.
“We had a plan for this.” said Pete and Rini. “OK?” “I’ll show ya’.” said
Pete. He drew this on the road:

“See, the tunnel is where Earth Burner and Storm shot there attacks in.” said
Pete. “And Monkeyman was in the hole when they bounced off the bottom and
it hit him.” explained Rini. “How did you know?” asked Flatfoot. “Well after
we get someone new to come with us he appears.” said Gene. “That’s right.”
Well, that’s how we did it.” “Hey I helped.” said Shredder.
They made it to the tour school. “I’ll teach the terrain of our time.” said
Mr. Spinky. They all said goodbye to him. They continued on. “Stop!” “Who
said that?” asked Pete. “I am Scander. I protect this route.” “Ok.” “You will
not pass.” “You won’t stop us.” “Here’s some advice: You can’t beat me alone.
Why don’t you all attack at once?” “Fine.” They attacked. “Bomb Storm!” Scander
shouted. Suddenly a giant dome surrounded Scander. It then flew around Pete
and the others. “What’s happening!?” asked Flatfoot. “I don’t know!” said
Pete. There was a giant explosion and everyone flew to a part of the surrounding
area.
Pete was lying in a strange house. “He’s waking up!” said two familiar
voices. “I’m coming.” said another familiar voice. “Pete are you all right?”
Pete opened his eyes. “He’s okay!” “Rini, Nicki, Flatfoot.” “Where’s everyone
else?” “I don’t know.” said Rini. “Let’s find ‘em.”

“I wonder were everyone else is.” said Earth Burner. “Don’t know.”
said Storm. “I think we should look for ‘em.” “Same with me but where do we
start?” “Well, let’s keep going and maybe we’ll find them.” “OK.”
__________________________________
Brett, Buck, and Shredder were riding on Ray in big size.
“Who was that?” asked Brett. “Scander. He protects that route. I don’t know
how I forgot that.” Buck said. “He’s strong.” said Ray. “I hope he doesn’t
join Monkeyman to stop us.” said Shredder. “Then it would be tough to win.”
__________________________________
“Stop!” “Why?” “I am Scander. I protect this route.” “So.”
“Are you a friend of Pete?” “Of course not.” “Good.” “So you hate Pete too?”
“Yep.” “Where is he?” “I blasted him off somewhere.” “With what?” “An explosive
force field.” “Cool.” “Yeah” ......... “Well why don’t we join forces and
find him.” “That sounds fun.”

“I wonder where everyone is?” asked Dash. “Well we should just keep
checking.” said Gene. “Me and Scizor could check by sky.” said Wingfoot. “Okay”
said Scizor. “We’ll meet up later.” said Gene. So Wingfoot and Scizor were
off. Here’s were everyone is: It’s much farther.

Well since this would take about 10 pages to write everything so I decided to just sum it up. Wingfoot and Scizor split-up and Wingfoot found Buck’s group and Scizor found Pete’s group. After a while Earth Burner (EB) & Storm decided to fly to the center. After a while Gene’s group met EB & Storm in the center. Everyone else met up in the center later and celebrated.
“So, are we near the projection caves?” asked Scizor.
“Um.....No.” explained Buck. “First we need to go to the Clubhouse.” They
got to the clubhouse and saw a strange hamster. “Hamha! Who are you?” it said.
Pete replied “Hamwhat?” “Hamha. It means hello in our language.” “Oh, well
I’m Pete. And you?” “I’m Dapan. Follow me I’ll show you to everyone else.”
Dapan took them into the clubhouse. There were six more hamsters in the clubhouse.
“This is Zersnoo, Pepenelo, Sobs, Dehow, Nardox, and Joubi.” “Hey, I’m hungry!”
said Flatfoot. “You want to krump?” “Krump?” “Eat” “Yeah.” So everyone had
some food and went to bed.
During the night there was a loud crash. “Heke?!” “Huh?” said Pete.
“ Yeah, but I thought you didn’t speak our language.” “I don’t.” “Wait” *hif-hif-hif
hif-hif* “Huh?” “Here.” Joubi gave them a paper that said:
The Ham-Ham Language
“Atata” “I can't believe it happened.”
“Bye-Q” “Good-bye.”
“Hablah!” “Nuts!” or, “Darn!”
“Hamha!” “Hello.”
“Heke” “Huh?!”
*Hif-Hif* Sound used when sniffing.
*Khrrmp*-“Krump” Sound used to convey eating.
*Oowah* Sound used to show sleepiness, like a yawn.
“Ouchichi” “Ouch! It hurts!”
“Shashaa!” “Hide.”
*ZuZuZu* Sound made when sleeping. H-H Inc.
Meanwhile Monkeyman and Scander meet some strange people. “For the last time
did you see Pete?” “?????????????” (No, now leave!) “Tell me!!” “???????”
(NO!!!!!) Riiiiight. ..... Well, let’s get back to Pete shall we.
Suddenly, a giant tower popped out of the ground. “Atata” said Zersnoo. “What happened?” asked Dash. “It’s Chunky Tower!” “Ok” said Wingfoot. “Every time that tower pops up it has someone captured at the top!” “Well let’s go save them.” We’ll come with you.” “Ok.”
They got to the tower and saw it was surrounded with nose hairs. “This is strange” said Sobs. “How are we going to get past?” asked Pete “Any...” Just then Earth Burner burnt a hole through it. “That works.” said Pete. So they went in to the tower.
After they made it in they went up the stairs and found a bowling alley. “Well, you made it in.” said a strange man. “It’s been a while since that happened.” “In order to continue you must beat me in a bowling match.” he said. “Pick your player.” Pete and his friends discussed it. “Well I think Pete should go.” said Rini. “I’m bad at bowling.” Everyone agreed. “Ok” said Pete. Pete bowled well but on the last frame he was one pin short. “No.” “HaHaHaHaHa Pin Pete has won again.” *clunk* “Huh” Pin Pete said. “No, it fell!” “All right Pete.” said Storm and the others.” “Fine, you may continue” said Pin Pete.
As they continued up the steps Pete said “I wonder how it fell.”
I guess there was wind.” said Storm winking at him. Pete smiled. They got
to the second level. Pete fell in a hole. “Pete!” the rest shouted. “Guys,
help me up.” Pete said. “ I dropped Flatfoot guys, we need to get him.”
They had to go and get Flatfoot and then went to the third floor. “I wonder
what’s going to be up here.” said Gene. Once they got up there they saw a
U.F.O. “Wow” said Flatfoot. “Halt.” said some strange people. “We are the
Bologna Men from Mars.” “Um, There’s only twelve of you.” “Just be quiet and
fight.” So they did. “Time Freeze” Brett said. Everyone attacked. After a
long battle (two minutes) Pete’s group won. “You may pass.” They went to the
fourth floor. “It’s empty.” Nicki said. “Hey, I’m here!” said a puddle. “You?”
“Yes me.” “Whatever.” So they walked past the scary talking puddle. “That
was easy.” said Gene. So they continued to the next floor.
Let’s check on Monkey Man shall we. “Do you know where Pete is?” asked Monkeyman. “On I t’nod.” said Aklew. “Tub m’i gnilliw ot pleh.” (If you want to know what their saying read each word backwards) “Ok then, you can join us in our search.” said Scander.
“I wonder what will be on this floor.” said Scizor. As they made it to the top of the steps they saw a sign. It said:
SORRY WE’RE NOT HERE RIGHT NOW
PLEASE COME BACK OR
WAIT FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME LISTED:
05 MINUTES
“Ok we’ll wait.” said Pete “But I wonder who we is.”
Scander, Monkeyman, and Aklew continued their search.
“Yeh s’tahw taht?” said Aklew. “I don’t know.” said Monkeyman. “Let’s go check.”
“It’s a time warp.” “Tahw?” asked Aklew. “A time warp sends you to a different
part of the world.” said Scander “Let’s go. It might take us to Pete.” “It
might not.”
