It took a little while for the serum to develop in the air so it was going to be a while before the universe started getting destroyed.
Barron Freeze went back to the Time Traveler’s building to tell him all the “good deeds” he did. When he got there, a short little guy with makeup and a red clown nose opened the door and said, “Who be you?” in a funny, nasal, high pitched voice.
“Who be you?” Barron Freeze responded, in a rather stern voice.
“Me be Stumpy.”
“Where did you come from?” Barron Freeze demanded.
“Australia,” except it sounded like “Aufwailya” when he said it.
“Where’s Aufwailya?”
“In the North Pole,” Stumpy answered, except it sounded like “In the Nothe Pole.”
“Never mind about where you come from,” Baron Freeze said, “Where’s the Time Traveler?”
“Cousin be buying pizza,” except it sounded like “cousin be buying beeza.”
“Where is he buying pizza?” asked Baron Freeze.
“In the Nothe Pole” answered Stumpy.
“Forget about it. May I come in?” asked Baron Freeze.
“Foitantly.” Answered Stumpy the clown. Baron Freeze made a wild guess that that was supposed to mean “Certainly,” and followed him inside the Time Traveler’s presidential suite in the Ruby Hotel.
Stumpy went into a small room and ran around in circles while Baron Freeze investigated the Time Traveler’s laboratory. He picked up a vial of fleshy substance and then the vial grew arms and pushed him backwards. He thought it must be a new and improved life-giving formula. He went sprawling backwards into the anti-gravitational swimming tube, mentioned much earlier in the story.
The anti-gravitational current was going straight down very fast, and he didn’t have to hold his breath very long before he shot out and fell down into the non-gravitational drip-catcher bowl. It slowly elevated him down to the ground when Baron Freeze hit it he quickly climbed back out, switched the anti-gravitational current and blasted himself out so he could steal the new and improved life-giving formula.
On his way up he reached into someone else’s suite and grabbed the cage of their alien wofffit, leaving the wofffit behind. Baron Freeze shot upward with the cage, leaped out into the presidential suite and used the cage to make a swipe at the living vial, which quickly dove away but he still caught it with the wofffit’s cage.
Baron Freeze peered out of the laboratory and saw the Time Traveler appearing, wearing a parka with snow resting on his shoulders. He was also carrying a pizza. Baron Freeze thought, “maybe he really did buy pizza at the North Pole.” He quickly switched the gravitational current and shot down as fast as possible. He shot down so fast he went straight through the drip-catching bowl and started spinning and drilling in the ground until the dirt was soft enough to dig through. He let the living serum out and it was so desperate to be free it started digging as fast as it could which was about the same speed as a race car and Baron Freeze was out of the Ruby Hotel and in his own mansion in no time.
He put the living serum in a big box with holes punched in it and poured it on some of his experiements. THey came alive and he gave them different names, like Zraggle, which means “the noble one” in Baron Freeze’s native language, because it looked very much like a penguin wearing a tuxedo, which of course looked very dapper because a penguin normally looks like it’s wearing a tuxedo.
Another one was Fluxiz, which in Baron Freeze’s native language means “the not so noble one” because this one was pretty much just a giant slime ball that looked like it was wearing a crooked bowtie and broken glasses. Another one was “two-headed snake,” which in Baron Freeze’s native language means, “two-headed snake.” This creature was a yellow and black striped snake with two different colored heads.
Another one was named Flickisss, which means “door knob” in Baron Freeze’s native language because, well, A) it was shaped like a door knob and B) it wouldn’t move away from Flizzle, which in Baron Freeze’s native language means “door,” and it looked like a door too.
He sent one of them to tackle one of the most powerful creatures he had made with his old living serum, and the one he had selected to fight the one with the old serum was Fligigg, which means “Fligigg” in his native language, he just thought it would be okay to name something a name that had no meaning at all.
Fligigg looked a lot like Baron Freeze except with wings instead of arms and really big feet. He was even wearing Baron Freeze’s hood and parka. It walked over to the old living serum creatured, flicked it, and the old living serum creature fell down because it was knocked out. Baron Freeze also fell down because he was so amazed. His creatures put him in a bed and he rested for a month thinking about what he could do with these.
Meanwhile, something very strange was happening. In the dimensions on the edge of the universe, the walls of the universe were melting and dripping, and the drops were contracting into nothingness so the universe was getting smaller and smaller and smaller and starting to collapse on itself. There was only one dimension far enough out to know about this, and that was split tree dimension, but was old Master Zonn going to tell anyone about it? No because he knew what was happening, was part of the space yacht ceremony, and was grinning, waiting for the universe to destroy itself.
He took out an old deck chair, propped it up outside his door and leaned back and waited for the show to begin.
