Time Traveler discovers the Frankinstinks Laboratory

After returning to the Ruby City, the Time Traveler saw a small building floating on anti-gravity. It said, “Professor Frankinsteen’s Laboratory” on it. He went in and Professor Frankinsteen, a man about one and a half feet tall with a moustache that curled around his feet and no shoes. He was very stinky, so the Time Traveler thought he should be called Professor Frankinstink. (He’s very opinionated).

Dr. Frankensteen had a very large clump of glowing moss that was on a table with three legs that converged to an anti-gravity point under the table. Dr. Frankinsteen said, “I will show you my experiment. I am trying to make a human brain useful for a plant. This is glowmoss. I have sewn a brain into it and given it muscles and bones. Flip the switch for me and the experiment will begin.”

The Time Traveler flipped the switch and the table floated up out through the roof and into a tunnel that went up through the ocean into broad daylight. During a storm on Solariun there’s no rain but there’s always lightning and thunder. They saw a bright flash come from the tunnel and heard thunder, so Dr. Frankinsteen brought it back down by flipping the switch the other way.

The glowmoss glowed brighter than ever and made a strange buzzing noise. It saw up and slithered across the floor and told Dr. Frankinsteen it wanted to wear clothes, so Professor Frankinsteen got out some clothes he had specially made for the glowmoss. The glowmoss slithered into them and then slithered out the door. Professor Frankinsteen followed it with a flashlight to keep it charged up.

They walked through the tunnel and into the ocean and swam up as it came more and more clear that the glowmoss was heading towards Barron Freeze’s castle. They quickly abandoned the glowmoss but tied the flashlight to its back so it would stay charged up. They watched from a distance as it went into Barron Freeze’s castle. After about five minutes, there was a brilliant flash of blue and a frozen piece of glowmoss flew out the window, followed by several more pieces of frozen glowmoss, frozen glowmoss clothes and a frozen flashlight.

Barron Freeze came out onto his balcony and noticed them. He was wearing a mask and leather gloves that were about six sizes too big for him, even considering he’s ten feet tall and has hands as big as sledgehammers. One of his gloves could fit over Dr. Frankinsteen and still have room. He held his freeze ray and blasted at them. They dodged, but Dr. Frankinsteen grabbed a stick and they catapulted across the ice until they were far enough away. Dr. Frankinsteen decided he would not do that experiment anymore.

Dr. Frankinsteen showed the Time Traveler another experiment, and anti-gravity gun. They went back to Barron Freeze’s castle to demonstrate it. He blasted it at the balcony where Barron Freeze was still standing and the balcony floated away and landed with Barron Freeze still on it somewhere in the Eastern Oceans of Solariun. Then, Dr. Frankinsteen blasted it at a cluster of Turets and they all blasted off and flew and landed somewhere in the Southern seas of Solariun.

Then they heard it. A silent swishing noise along with a queer buzzing noise. They turned around and saw a ten foot tall orange curving fin, the trademark of a Solariun Shark. Then, exactly twentyfive more appeared at the same time, and they moved faster. Then they all did a flip out of the water and they were obviously Solariun Dolphins, not Sharks. Solariun Sharks have six-inch long teeth and rotary fins that twist a lot and then spin around, whereas the Dolphins are half-reptile half-mammal and have a kind of four-way tail that can swish side to side or up and down, or twist like the sharks, or just not be used at all and they can use their front arms to doggie paddle.

Because the Dolphins are omnivores, they eat meat too, their fins look just like the Solariun Shark fins so they can scare their prey into such a shock they can kill them easily. It hardly ever works though because they like showing off their tricks so much they always reveal their rainbow body and that they are obviously dolphins.
