"Ugh, what a day..." a brown mane of hair flopped over the face of a human man, framed perfectly in a late afternoon window, his face was somewhat pale from the previous nights ordeal. "That was some party last night, jeesh, that Ivor can sure drink any man under the table with vodka!" This amused the man quite greatly, as he picked up a pinstriped black fedora that was strewn on the ground. However, underneath the hat was a post-it note with a hasty scrawl written on it, he picked up the note and read. "Adam, I saw your abandoned project downstairs, so I helped you, much respect for drinking ME under the table - Ivor."
Adam had realised, at that split second he yelled, "My project!" He quickly dressed himself in his white shirt, black pinstripe suit and matching trousers. he then placed the fedora on his head and took off out the doorway of his bedroom, suddenly startled by the news that Ivor had tampered with his machines. He had no time to stop, he quickly jumped off the balcony next to the stairs in order to get down, but Adam and gravity tend to have issues. He slammed to the floor quite forcefully, his fedora landed on his hea, perfectly in place.
He opened the hatch to the basement, where he'd kept all his machines, he slid down the rails along the crooked stairway and into the darkness of the room. However a soft glowing and humming emmitted from behind a tarp on a machine. He flicked a switch and the basement sprang to life with light and clour, the completed machines whirred to life. However all was not well in Adam's basement, he could feel a bad energy emmmiting from behind the tarp, which he had marked "Abandoned." He talked to himself as he approached the machine, he said "Project dimension." with a slight note of sorrow in his voice, it was his only abandoned project.
He removed the dust covered tarp from the machine, a U shaped machine came into view before him, a small panel was open to the left of the machine. He inspected the open panel to find that a diamond had been put inside it, he said to himself, "Curious, as far as I know Ivor has never carried gems with him, EVER, this must be pretty big then." he closed the panel. Adam looked curiously at the circut breaker in his basement and said to himself, "Dare I try?" He pulled the circut breaker down, then the machine came to life, it growled like a lion coming back to its days of pride.
He knew enough to know that wasn't a good sound, and he retreated to the basement hatch. Suddenly, the door slammed shut, he vigourously pulled at it, but to no avail. He yelled "Stupid security systems!" as he well knew that the door was deadlocked untill morning. The machine kept growling, sparks flew from the small conductive metal arms running up the entirety of the U shaped machine, excluding the main platform where you stood, which was already gathering dust. The machine clunked, clanked and clinked, it spun wildly and jumped about, even though it wasn't supposed to.
The power went out entirely, Adam could see that from his power grid monitor he had been given the last time he'd caused a power outage. However, the machine still hummed and spat out energy, then, when he least expected it, a bright flash came from the machine. blinded temporarily, he fell from the crooked stairwell, he regained some sight and took a peek at what the machine had done. A glowing orb hovered inside the U of the machine, he looked right into the orb, then the orb tunred into a model of earth, he watched the earth spin for a few seconds when the orb expanded to fill the entirety of the space provided within the machine.
He could see the earth, the moon, the sun, mars, venus, but the model started to zoom out, further and further, whisping him through planets, solar systems galaxies and finally zoomed out into our whole universe. He was astounded, but it did not stop, there were other universes smaller than ours orbiting it. His expression was priceless, and it kept zooming out untill it looked like an... atom?...
Adams brain suddenly exploded with questions, his mind was filling with these questions, and yet, somthing didn't seem right. A huge rope of purple energy floated from the orb, and all went cold and un-forgiving, the orb had zoomed into another universe, another planet, he quickly pressed the express dumb-waiter, which brought down weapons and a HUMUNGOUS bag of supplies. With little time to spare too, for at that moment, the purple energy wrapped around him, he feircly hacked at it with his swords, but to no avail.
The purple rope dragged him ever closer to the orb, he felt the energy of the orb touch his legs, it was... warm, an odd sensation passed up his body as he was dragged into darkness.
