That’s it. Now nanowrimo is done for this year.
But don’t think I’m going to stop just yet. I can’t just leave my book ending on a cliff-hanger like that, so this is my last chapter of my second book.
After starting their race, Kryptl realized this wasn’t any ordinary race. Baron Freeze or Baron Blast or whatever we should call him wasn’t swerving around or circling buildings or spiralling up and down like us usually did, he was just going on straight. When they were around a mile away from going out of town, Baron Freeze swerved and went straight up at an insane speed.
Kryptl went about ten feet farther than Baron Blast/Freeze and then swerved up and quickly followed Baron Freeze/Blast. Kryptl was almost a mile behind so he quickly booted up the ultra blast rockets he had made last September. He zoomed after Baron Freeze, going at about 100 miles per minute, and wondered where they were going. Baron Freeze mumbled something and then laughed a little bit. Kryptl realized there was only one place in the universe that Baron Freeze would mumble and laugh about.
Kryptl jerked to a stop and wondered if he should follow Baron Freeze or turn back. If figured if he were to follow then something terrible would happen, and if he went back home, then his dad would have him grounded for a year. Krypto blasted after Baron Freeze/Blast at a frightening speed. Then it started to come into view: the world of gloom.
There was a small town near the equator of the World of Gloom. It was near the equator because that’s the only place where it goes above 20 degrees farenheight. There was also the frozen ruins of a city up near the North Pole and there was a burnt yet cold city directly on the equator. I said “city,” even though it’s more like a small village because everything else is even smaller, and only two hundred people lived on this planet, so that small village was like a big city compared to everything else.
Kryptl new that the second he was in the gravitational field of this planet, terrible yet amazing things would start happenning. Kryptl entered the gravitational field and immediately fell off his pod. It was more than ten hundred feet to the ground and he would have been killed if he hadn’t grabbed onto the handlebars of his pod at the last minute. He was fluttering along behind his pod, and he immediately thought of superman, who happened to still be named superman in this future time, because his pod was like superman and he was like superman’s cape at the speed they were going.
At the speed they were going, the insane windspeeds were whipping Kryptl around in circles and making his pod do figure eights in midair. He managed to get back on and the second he was back on his seat a mean looking space salamander came out of a dimensional warp that space salamanders use as caves, more on that next year.
A space salamander is a lot like a Martian that’s white with gil-style fin crests on its elbows and knees and along the back of its back. A gill-style fin crest is like a wide, hollow shark’s fin with more shark’s fins packed inside of it so it will bend as a joint. It has two almond-shaped red eyeballs with tiny black pupils in the normal places and then four more eyeballs kind of stacked on top of the others. It has a tail that is very long, and also has two horns that start to curl up and back like ram’s horns but then go back over its shoulders and come up next to its legs.
With all six eyes staring at Kryptl, it leaned back and snarled and looked a lot like a white gill-crested, six-eyed King Kong with a really long white tail. Kryptl took that chance and zoomed out of its way. The space salamander leaped out of its cave and fell all the way down to the World of Gloom. Because it was a space salamander and could deal with the vacuum of space, it was not harmed very much, though this was mostly due to its size, because actually all creatures in this time can deal with the vacuum of space without a space suit.
You may wonder why the World of Gloom is called the World of Gloom even though it’s a very nice place to live- it has nice cities, nice people- it’s called the World of Gloom because the world has no sun, except a small, barely shining white drawf they orbit around 60 trillion miles away.
Kryptl knew that once he was down on the surface he would have to get to a city as fast as he could or else all the large evil creatures and the evil warlords that live in caves underground on this planet would come out and try to kill him. A hunchback space wocky jumped out of a cave and snarled at him.
A hunchback space wocky is, well, a hunchback that is orange and has flame leaking out of its nostrils and mouth. It also has two natural funnels coming out of its shoulders where it can blast fire out- a natural blast pack. Space wockies are the fastest creatures that travel in space without a spaceship or a space pod.
Then, something very strange happened.
The hunchback space wocky jumped back and whimpered and ran away as fast as it could, using its natural jet pack to help him go faster. Kryptl turned around to see what the wocky was jumping away from, and then he saw it. It was a giant space predator. It’s not any specific kind of predator; it’s just a predator.
It’s about 50 feet tall, and it’s a sub-species of flame demon. It has very good jumping legs and can jump nearly 155 meters in one leap. It’s arms burst into flame, and it leaped after Kryptl started to speed away in his pod. As mentioned earlier, Kryptl’s pod is insanely fast, so he got away from the predator easily. The predator got discouraged and leaped into its cave in the side of the mountain. Kryptl raced as fast as he could in his pod toward the closest city. He was speeding along and millions of billions of space wockies came out of the ground, but Kryptl sped over their heads before they could get into a standing position.
Kryptl went up higher in his air pod and was five inches away from a city when he fell off his pod. He leaped for his pod and barely got up onto it. He landed in a very unsafe way and went to ask the nearest villager if he had seen Baron Freeze/Baron Blast. The villager pointed directly down and Kryptl got out his space drill he had made a few months earlier and attached it to the front of his pod. He pulled up his pod and then dove down into the ground and 100 million miles per minute (the average speed for air pods in the area). He fell into a huge room and Baron Freeze/Baron blast explained he had won.
Kryptl got so bored that he was forced to blast his way back through his tunnel. He blasted upward at top speed for most air pods—but it wasn’t top speed for his, of course—but another space salamander jumped out of a warp, and Krystal realized he had to go faster. He went to top speed on his pod, which is one billion light years per second, and zoomed away until he was back at Aerotropolis.
He sat down and meddled with some of his recent creations and then took his anti-gravity boost back and hovered down under his house to modify the hydro-lift that kept his house in the air, along with other houses on his block. A hydro-lift is an old-fashioned jet booster that sprays water in a mist at incredible speeds and also spurts out water vapor under it, and the extreme jet propulsion keeps it up in the air. First Kryptl modified the side boosters so they would swivel around and he could move his house around the block. Then he modified the center booster so he could make his house go up, down or swivel diagonally. He also added security guns. They’re not harmful guns; they are just Professor Frankenstein’s version 3.0 anti-gravity rays, except meddled around with and modified by Kryptl.
He tested it out on his testing dummy. He set his dummy up with a broken boost pack that had been through a lot of wear flying through the air at fast speeds, and hanging onto Kryptl’s dummy. The dummy was hovering in front of Kryptl’s front door with a makeshift ray gun that Kryptl had fashioned. The dummy reached for the handle, or that is how it seemed even though it was just propulsion jets holding up his arm. The minute the dummy touched the door, one of the anti-gravity rays extended from the bottom of Kryptl’s house and zapped the dummy. The dummy flew straight up, then sideways, then diagonally down again, doing a few loop-d-loops and then went straight down and fell into the water in the Mid-eastern oceans of Solariun.
Kryptl went inside, meddled a little more with his inventions. Then, he sat down on his couch and turned on the TV for some Saturday morning cartoons. Little did he know that the small electronic signal coming to and from his TV and going to and from the satellite orbitting Solariun again and again could change the history of the other universes in his quantum sector.
