Time Travel

(Year 2075)

Central City, B Street :-

"This calculation would be perfect!"

"Dr. Chen, the portal will be stabled after 2 minute!"

In the basement lab, Xing Chen and his assistant are doing illegal research.

"Luis, put the amphasizer in the tube in next 15 seconds"

A small palm sized, cylinder shaped container filled with sparkling blue chemical is inserted in the tube by Luis.

"Dr. Chen, only 5 seconds are left!" Filled with excitement, Luis took out a strange watch from his left pocket.

Barely standing from his wheelchair, Xing Chen took that strange high-tech watch from Luis's trembling hands.

"Farewell Luis! Please take care of the lab when I'm gone."

Luis didn't said anything and just nod with his eyes filled with tears.

Suddenly a stranger vortex appeared from thin air, Xing Chen bid farewell from his dearest apprentice Luis and walked towards the vortex.

But when he was just 5 meters away from the vortex, a sudden explosion emerged outside and a group of people in black suits and light machine gun broke into the basement lab.

"This is Delta squad of countries defence!"

The Captain of the squad came forward with his gun pointing at Xing Chen, "Dr. Chen you are suspected of doing illegal research on space and time! Please co-operate with us!"

"Bull*hit! I'm almost at the breakthrough and you guys want me to stop at this crucial moment!?" Xing Chen shouted in rage as he immediately put that strange watch on his wrist.

"Researching on space and time is a tabboo in Central city! Please stop your movements or I'll have to shoot you."

Luis on the other hand, was drenched in sweat after seeing the seriousness of this moment. His whole body was body trembling and his feet was stuck in the ground.

5 years ago :-

Star University,

"Don't you think that professor Chen is a bit weird?"

"I don't know. He is a little too much possessive towards space and time."

Some boys are chatting about today's lecture of Dr. Chen. They are foolishly talking about his weird behaviour but they don't know that they are being watched.

Near a corner of library building, a blonde guy with thin body structure, wearing big glasses and holding some notebooks is sneering towards these boys.

Their words are making him more and more angry every second, as he clenched his notebooks in anger and after a few moments, he left.

(...Luis is a mixed blood of Americans and Russian. Most of the people despised him since his birth because of his strange appearance. But after joining the Star University, one day, he met Dr. Chen.

He is also a mixed blood in his 70’s with outstanding knowledge of science.

But most of all, Luis was touched because of Dr. Chen's warm nature. The whole campus is bad mouthing Dr. Chen because of his possessiveness towards space and Time but only Luis thought about Dr. Chen as his mentor, so he can't bear anyone talking nonsense about his mentor.)

Luis is also talented in science and because of his talent, Dr. Chen took him as his assistant and taught him everything about Space and Time.

They were more like father and son after being together for 4 years, so Xing Chen told Luis about the reason of his possessiveness towards space and time.

Xing Chen asked Luis to join him for a secret research of Time and Space.

And after a few days of hesitation, he eventually agreed to join Dr. Chen for his research.

Present Time :-

'Dr. Chen invested 30 years of his life in this research, he is so close to achieve it, I have to do something!' Luis is thinking inwardly but his body isn't responding to his thoughts because of his human instincts and the fear of death.

'I must do something!'

'Move!' Chains of fear are holding his legs from moving.

He can clearly smell the scent of death from the guns which were pointed towards Xing Chen.

'Move! Dammit!' He collected all his remaining force, jumped towards Xing Chen and pushed him towards the vortex.

"Fire!"

Before he could understand the situation, he was already being pushed towards the vortex by Luis and the last thing he saw was that thousands of Orange and yellow rays flickered from the guns and penetrated through Luis.

Luis was covered in blood, panting heavily with his last breath and teary eyes he only said, "Father! I fulfilled my duty.."

All this happened in mere 3 seconds and the vortex immediately closed.

But an unexpected thing happened.

One bullet pierced through the container of Amphasizer and half of the blue chemical was drained on the ground which caused a major problem.
