Prologue Ever since Sammy’s trip to Maui, Hawaii in July of 2014, things have changed in his life for the better. He has become a well-known hero for stopping the greedy Darwin O’Chubbles and his Cyborg Butlers; he is a highly-respected scientist and is famous for creating the U-Fusion 3000, which is capable of fusing any two or more objects into one. What people don’t know, however, is his huge adventure back in the Killer Volcano, where he encountered his evil future self and went on a time-travelling journey. He also discovered a sub-species of mantes which he refers to as evomantes, which only one of this species has been found. This creature happens to be Timothy, Sammy’s pet evomantis. He is keeping these two experiences secret to prevent the wrong people from becoming interested in his discoveries. Besides building an entire laboratory and being occupied with homework, Sammy had been taking it easy for a while. Over four months had, past, and Sammy was under the impression that he would never experience an adventure as intense as his escape from the Killer Volcano and his battle against Darwin O’Chubbles to rescue Timothy. What he didn’t know is that those two adventures were only the beginning… This adventure begins on November 16th, 2014. Sammy is now 16 years old at this period of time. On this morning, Sammy was relaxing with his pet evomantis, Timothy, in his lab. Then, Sammy began to get antsy, thirsting for another adventure. He then recalled his time-travelling adventure in Maui, Hawaii, and began fantasizing more time-travel journeys. “At what point in time will I ever invent a time machine?” Sammy wondered to himself. Timothy gave Sammy a puzzled look, wondering why he’d want to put himself into that kind of danger again. “Timothy, don’t look at me like that. I’m just curious. Imagine the possibilities! We could time-travel to the future, the Roman Empire, we can meet the Son of Christ, we can experience the Age of Enlightenment, and we can even time-travel to my favorite era of America: the 1950’s!” Sammy discussed. Timothy started flipping in the air with excitement. “The problem is, I’m not sure how to construct a device capable of traveling through time. There have been theories, such as traveling at the speed of light and using wormholes…” Sammy explained before Timothy bit his hand, trying to gain his attention. “Ouch! Timothy, what’s gotten in to you?” Sammy snapped. Then, Timothy began hopping away, almost as if he wanted to show Sammy something. “Timothy, where on Earth’s grand surface are you going?” Sammy called. Timothy leaped outside of the lab, traveling several blocks away from Sammy’s home, while Sammy raced after him. While Sammy was passing a man reading Pensacola’s daily newspaper near the town’s local post office, he asked, “Why in the world are you chasing a mantis?” “No reason! I’m just a zoologist is all,” Sammy lied without stopping to talk. While Sammy ran after Timothy into the distance, the man gave him a suspicious look. Sammy followed Timothy all the way to the Arnold Maize Orchard, which was 1 ¼ miles away from the town border. By the time Sammy caught up with Timothy, it was about 1 o’clock. “This better be important, Timothy. I can’t risk you getting caught after Darwin O’Chubbles nearly extracted your life energy,” Sammy stressed, breathing heavily. Timothy then dug out some sod, revealing a hole that led to an underground area. “Alright Timothy… what’s going on? Why did you lead me here?” Sammy inquired. Timothy leaped into the hole, and then Sammy shouted, “Oh no! Don’t worry Timothy, I’m coming!” Sammy then backed up, dashed towards the hole, and leaped in. Sammy fell 15 feet and landed on his rear, then fainting. Sammy woke up to his forehead being tapped by Timothy’s center antennae. “Ugh… where am I?” Sammy moaned. Timothy sprang up and down, excited to see that his master had awoken. Then, a bright ruby gleamed like a star, quickly catching Sammy’s eye. It also had a triangular gem attached to it with a long, stick-like hand attached to it, moving in a similar fashion to the pendulum of a clock. Sammy sensed a mystical power within it. Curious, he walked up to the ruby and picked it up from its pedestal. Sammy gazed at it, amazed with what he had discovered.
