The Lost Treasure Map Series (65 page)

Once he saw the
being
’
s
formation and its thick denseness and the artifact and energy field
going crazy he turned silent and observed everything he could with
Merton and Mortimer, and the other major scientists there, from
behind a protection screen.

A sudden swift flash exploded out at the
center of the artifact and temporally blinded them, having them all
covering their eyes, and some made sure cameras were observing it
in the brightness, and Bryson saw what was occurring by shading his
eyes.

The energy in the artifact was colossal and
the technology behind it fascinated everyone! It would be worth
billions if they could recreate it!

Bryson gasped when he saw the reactions of
Mortimer and other scientists when the brightness and activity
began vanishing and he wondered why, and saw they were waiting for
something, and the outcome of everything there to come to a
conclusion!

Then the figure of a man walked out of the
bright light, and he suddenly staggered about, and walked up to the
protection screen and knocked on it as hard as he could!

The scientists removed the entrance gate and
helped him out as though wondering how he had been left inside the
confined region without them noticing.

Nobody knew him or had seen him before, and
Bryson wondered if it had copied the human looks from someone? But
he could not recognize anything and the man looked altered somehow.
He looked like a more advanced version of a human! Like a
genetically altered human! He wondered if he was now a new form of
species of human?

The man spoke strangely and with some
trouble, and showed that he had some bad disability.

“
Who are you?
”
Merton asked him, first.

“
What year is this?
”
he replied, holding himself
upright in pain.

When Merton told him he was stunned and
collapsed across the floor, and sounded as though he was dieing,
and the scientists started helping him and phoning for medical
support.

Many studied his body and found what they
believe was improvements to it, and he had been altered into a more
advanced human, but even with his improvements they knew he was
about to die, and they saw the artifact and that it had been
destroyed.

After seeing everything, and knowing the
outcome, Mortimer swiftly began questioning him, trying to get as
much as he could from him. All their work could be meaningless if
they never got answers to what had occurred and where he had come
from!

Chapter 9

The Time
Traveler

The time
traveler launched and vanished into the past leaving all the people
at the launch site gasping from the pure magnitude of the forces
and explosive exit, and it became clear to everyone that the
colossal expense, time and trouble, and vast dangers to the time
traveler would end time travel.

The world’s
first time machines were time probes and were original used to
probe the near future, where they were recovered within days, and
had their accuracy and recordings checked. Most vanished
completely, and the ones that were recovered showed why they were
only random lucky arrivals, and many that appeared were detected at
sites all over the world, with the majority damaged in
collisions.

The time
traveler and time machine mission had taken many years of work, and
a great deal of information also had to be accumulated as they had
been trying to discover a time disturbance that had been detected
in the past, where the use of a time machine had been proven to
have been used.

The other time
machine and its accuracy and power had clearly not been created by
any human! The technology behind it surpassed anything that they
had encountered!

They believed
it even surpassed anything in this universe and had been created by
something they could barely imagine, and the time traveler had his
mission carefully planned and been given technology that they
believed could capture the other time traveler, and what it used to
travel through time.

The time
traveler traveled further into the past than any other human before
had traveled, and his time machine swiftly blasted out of his
century into what resembled a constant explosion, which would have
destroyed his time machine if it had not been designed to withstand
virtually anything thrown at it.

The time
traveler considered following it to where it had come from, where
he believed it had vanished to after its mission, and after his
mission he intended to reappear approximately one minute after he
had vanished into the past, at the launch site.

The time
machine resembled some form of highly advanced missile, and he
constantly examined it and his mental controls searching for damage
and for signs of powerful forces acting upon it, and it was
undamaged and working properly, but when it entered a time zone,
and stopped traveling through time, the forces at its entrance
damaged the time machine, damaging many of its functions, and he
discovered the incredible speed he was traveling at through the
atmosphere, and at a far faster speed than he should have been, and
before he crashed into the ground something hit the time
machine.

Chapter 10

The Time
Traveler
’
s Last Words

The whole affair slowly died away, and
the remains of the artifact ended up as the
museum
’
s
best exhibition, and Bryson still thanked Mortimer for his swift
thinking and accurate questioning of the time traveler before his
death, as they would never have realized what had
happened!

The entire conversation had been recorded by
one source, and Bryson had taken a recording of it before they had
deleted it, not fully knowing what they had been doing!

Many people there had even claimed it was
false and that it had been something else, which they gave
explanations for afterwards, and even Merton and Mortimer had
ignored most of it believing it as his attempt to do something and
had doubted what it had told!

Bryson knew it was true and that he had been
an authentic human time traveler from the far future, and he had
studied the recording over and over, examining the information it
contained in great detail, and knew that he had thought of what he
had said for a great deal of time, while he had been trapped in the
energy bubble of his damaged time machine.

When he had learned the full truth and date
that he had awoken at he had known everything was over, and had
accepted his fate, and being such an advanced human he had
deliberately accepted his fate and allowed himself to die. He had
clearly not wanted to be examined too far and give too much
information, as it could alter the future and do immense
damage.

He had told why he had become a time
traveler and had wished to explore the past and see what really had
existed there, and he had chosen it as his mission in life, but at
a cost, as time travel was dangerous and most died doing it.

When he had arrived in his time
machine during the Second World War he had arrived at the wrong
destination! The time machine had been unable to find the correct
destination as it had found the exact destination no longer
existed, and the time machine had been damaged on its entrance to
the time zone it had entered, which had been the nearest event it
had recorded information on, which was Hess
’
s landing during the Second
World War.

It had crashed and had been found by a
soldier there, who had had been searching there after the discovery
of Hess and his crashed plane.

The soldier had taken him and his artifact
to a nearby farm as he looked as though he would die, but had not
fully known his identity or what he was. He had learned a great
deal about them and their strange ways, but he had known he would
die as he had been getting sicker and he had only days left to live
in the end. His artifact had told him his only way to survive and
return to the future had been the use of its cryogenic chamber
ability, put in it as a last survival method.

It had located a region nearby where it
could be buried without being dug up, where they would dig it up in
his own time zone, and he would be revived and have the damage done
to him fixed.

The farmer and his friends had dug the hole
at the site of the old well, and as they had placed him in the
artifact chamber he had been surprised at how much he had liked
there than his own future world, and that he had even considered
trying to find a way to fix the damaged done to him, but he knew he
could never survive.

When he had
been awakened he felt like he had been thrown into the realms of
hell, with him being awakened in the wrong way by the scientists,
with his very sole being reshaped and altered within hideous energy
surges, threatening to obliterate him, but it consistently had not
and had not fallen out of space and time altogether, and it had
consistently altered.

At one point he had stopped making
attempts at escaping and had tried to establish what had gone
wrong,
and he had
studied the scientists and their equipment and had suspected that
they had awakened him too soon and he had been trapped there! He
had underestimated them greatly! It would have been normally
virtually impossible to do what they had done with the time
machine, and he realized he would be lucky to survive the ordeal!
He had slowly realized that they actually had equipment and methods
of detection that he had not heard of, but he also had slowly
proved that they never had time travel or anything like the
technology.

He had adapted
to handle what he had been trapped in, and he had probed the
scientists and circumstances and had realized he had been lucky and
that they could have killed him, and that they definitely wanted
him for something, and he had realized that he had technology that
he could use to bargain with, if they ever allowed him to
communicate.

The technology
had been strange at first and later primitive, and he had worked
out how some of it worked.

For a long time he had watched them at work
and their experiments, while many hideous energy surges
intermittently attacked had played with him, leaving him on the
brink of annihilation, and he had realized more than ever that he
would die.

Chapter 11

The Lost
Treasure

For centuries
stories of an ultimate time traveler and lost treasures had been
passed on through generations of future civilizations, even though
a few details only existed of its nature and time zone.

How it had
been detected in time had never been told and most people had
thought time travel had never properly worked, and that nothing had
existed that would possibly allow people to locate anything of that
nature, and later on when time travel had become possible, though
rarely worked properly, stories of treasure seekers risking their
lives in deadly pursuits had emerged.

So throughout months Bryson unraveled and
translated what the human time traveler had given them, and what
they had missed when he had told it. His future language was
different, being of a far distant and different future world, and
he realized again that he had realized that they had been recording
everything that he had said and had deliberately disguised facts
throughout his message, which Bryson went over until he started
knowing the time traveler and his ways, and what he had thought of
everything.

He was sure that he had given them far more
information than he should have, as it would do damage to his
future world! Yet if he located anything the people of the future
would hear of it, and that surely had been his intension.

He originally had intended to get the
technology and treasures, and had proven that they had existed
before his dangerous mission and voyage, and during it he had found
evidence of its existence and that it had been partly located at
this time zone and had become undetectable on his entrance to it,
and its location had been detectable through the many time
zones.

Bryson knew that he had been given a major
clue to its location, and he eventually discovered it and that it
was located on the same latitude as where the artifact had been
located!

From a majority of accumulated
sources, the origins of the accounts
had emerged
from people using time
probes to check throughout the depths of time for unusual
occurrences and treasures. Even though the time probes had rarely
worked and required colossal amounts of time and
capital!

Lost treasures
and ultimate technology of colossal value had been thought to exist
and explorers had gone to incredible lengths searching for it, and
had carried out investigations for it with the most highly advanced
time probes, as treasure seekers in the twentieth century had used
undersea probes to search for lost treasures beneath the ocean.

What existed had been mythical and
priceless to the time traveler and other explorers and he knew that
they had not entirely grasped what the
ultimate time traveler and lost treasures had
been, and the
accounts of its powers and deadliness
indicated that it might have altered from something else to exist
in this universe!

Chapter 12

The Search

Merton and Mortimer were enthralled in
David Parker
’
s technology, setup and operating methods,
and thought that it was a major breakthrough, grasping its full
potential and all the future possibilities that it could deliver
and offer their various forms of scientific exploration and
discoveries.
