The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel

by Pidoriano, Joseph

Iron Steel said, “Okay this is what you do.” Tom interrupted and asked, “What?”

  Iron Steel said, “Okay, you want to get out of this dull dimension or do you want to get home back to earth? It is your choice.” Tom Jackson answered, “I want to get home now!” Iron Steel said like a smart aleck, “Well, guess what, if it doesn’t take a day to get from Earth to another world, then it won’t take one minute to get from here to Earth.” Tom said, “Okay, more importantly, how do you get us back home?” Iron Steel said, “Okay Tom, push the lighter red button on the bottom of the phone.” Tom interrupted again, “I thought it was the top button and I thought it was the darker red button.”

  Iron Steel said, “No, No, No, remember, I told the guy at the aPhone store to program our phones to different types of buttons so that way we wouldn’t get the both of them confused.” Tom said, “Well, I just got confused just now and in fact, it was so puzzling like it was one of the most if not the most mind boggling situation that I have ever to the utmost infinite extent, ever encountered.” Iron Steel said as he was rolling his dragon triangular shaped eyes, “Could I get to the point of which I was talking about?” Tom Jackson said with a smile, “Of course you can.”

  Iron Steel replied, “Back to the story.”

  He paused for a second

  and then continued, “I meant the directions or guide to using the aPhone 5 mini in terms of the aspect of working the button. Now, you press the lower and lighter red button and you see fifty other gadgets pop out at you.” As Iron Steel was giving the directions to Tom Jackson, Tom Jackson was performing the tasks and for once in his life, he’d never spoiled the apples.

  Iron Steel then said, “By the way, I’ve got to commend you on the fact you are listening to my directions as we’re going along.

  So, continuing on with the directions. Now, when you see the fifty gadgets pop out at you, twenty five are actual gadgets and the other twenty five are buttons. Now, the green button is the only button that calls the LSC to come over here. However, there are three green buttons. The green button that you will have to find is a dark green color. I know what you’re thinking.” Tom said, “Well, what do you think you know what I am thinking about?” Iron Steel said, “Yeah, you are thinking that finding this button is going to be like finding an annoying needle in a haystack.”

  Tom Jackson said, “No way, I don’t know which track that your train of thought is on. However, my train of thought is on a totally different track going into a totally different direction.” Iron Steel asked, “Well, which track is your train of thought on?” Tom Jackson said very swiftly but explicitly, “ My train of thought is on the track going to Desert Land, I am heading to the land were mountains are made of Ice cream, trees are filled with candy apples, and it is always snowing snow cones ‘round here.” Iron Steel said, “Are you trying to fool around with me when this is not a time for fool around?”

  Tom Jackson counter questioned “Well, what do you think?

  Do you think I am just pulling your leg or Do you think that I am serious in what I say?” Iron Steel answered, “Well I hope that you are pulling my leg, because if you are serious, you must be crazy.” Tom Jackson said, “I am pulling your leg.” Iron Steel said, “Well that is not okay with me, now did you find the button?” Tom Jackson answered, “Yes, I found the button. Here it is, it is right here.” Iron Steel said, “No, really.” Tom Jackson said, “Why, yes, it was very easy. All of the buttons that are on this little thingamajig are brightly colored. You can see that this button was very predominant.”

  Tom Jackson pressed the button, and contacts the LSC.

  Meanwhile, the LSC is hovering somewhere over Earth. The LSC is listening to music right now and eating a donut and all of a sudden hears a beep from his pager. The LSC said to himself, “What’s going on? Who’s calling me? Please make sure that it is not that pain in the neck?” As the LSC deposited his claw, to get his pager that was hidden in his front storage bin, the pager said, Tom Jackson. The LSC

  said, “Why, that’s unusual why is he calling me? He usually never calls me. There must be something going on around there where ever he is.” The beeper sounded the second beep and finally the LSC

  answered the beeper, Tom Jackson says crazily to the LSC through his phone, “Hi, there is something important going on, and Iron was mistakenly turned into a dragon and we have been sitting in this blank dimension for a while now. When will you get here?”

  The LSC interrupted Tom and said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa there, Tom relax, you must stay calm. I’ll be there in a couple of minutes.

  Okay.” Tom said, “I don’t know buddy, he might be hungry. After all we’ve been here for an hour or two.” The LSC said in a stern and harsh manner, “Listen, you better relax or I will deliberately take my time in getting there. Well, we LSC vehicles have the capability of going slower than the tortoise and faster than the hare.” Tom said, “He’s going to eat me. Just get here.”

  LSC replied, “Okay, Tom, I am on my way.”

  Both Tom

  Jackson and the LSC concluded their telephone/ beeper conversation.

  Meanwhile, let’s get back to Tom Jackson’s dimension and see what he is doing while the LSC is on his way to the Blank Dimension. As soon as Tom Jackson concluded the conversation with the LSC, a snicker had exited Tom’s mouth. More importantly, this snicker was a snicker of sarcasm. The words that left Tom Jackson’s mouth were, “It’ll be another hour before this pathetic dingbat gets here. I am not waiting that long.”

  As Iron Steel stomped closer to Tom Jackson, he put his dragon ear the size of Tom’s head right up to him. Because, Iron Steel was a dragon at the time, it was hard for him to hear and he was a large dragon at that. So, Iron Steel told Tom in the deep and choppy voice of a dragon, and it was loud like a megaphone doubled, “What did you say?” Tom Jackson reiterated what he said earlier about the length of time the LSC is going to arrive to their rescue from the blank dimension.

  After Tom Jackson reiterated what he had said, Iron Steel said with a laugh as hot air came out of him, “Yeah, like that thing will arrive on time. That thing is so slow it could move slower than a tortoise.” Tom Jackson said, “Quiet, wait a second.” Iron Steel interrupted, “What?” Tom continued, “The thing might just be hearing our conversation about him!” Iron Steel replied, “Listen, Tom, why don’t you check your phone to see if the conversation is still happening.”

  Tom said, “Okay, I’ll do that. However, I don’t think that this guy has a short temper.” Iron Steel replied to that comment, “You never know if people have a short temper Tom, one minute some body can be a nice folk and the next minute somebody can turn into a dragon like me.” As Tom Jackson took out his phone, a snicker left his mouth. Iron Steel said, “What are you laughing at?” When Steel asked such a question, Tom froze like a statue taking his phone out.

  Tom said, still frozen as a statue, “I am laughing at the fact that nobody is hearing the conversation.” However, Tom was really filled with laughter at the fact that Iron Steel used an analogy comparing himself to some sort of a mad dragon. All of a sudden in the blank distance, two beeps were heard. These beeps came from the beeps of an LSC.

  Even though this LSC sounded like a generic car, it was a far cry from your generic car. The beeps of the LSC were sounded again.

  Tom Jackson turns his head towards the direction in which the noise was coming from and, the noise was coming from the North East direction. Even though the dimension that both Jackson and Steel were in, a blank dimension, they still knew which way the noise was coming from. As they walked closer to the noise, the volume started to increase and increase and all of a sudden, they clunked their heads on this invisible vehicle. The invisible vehicle was the LSC, and it showed itself and the LSC said, “You two dunces it is me.” The LSC

  started to laugh and continued, “Come on in.” Both Iron Steel and Tom Jackson, got up and they said synchronously, “Hey what was that for?” The LSC said, “Just get in a
lready.” The LSC lifted up its blue hood and Tom jumped right into the LSC, while Iron remained on the hood of the LSC.

  The LSC asked Tom Jackson, “Where do you have to go?”

  Tom answered, “I have to go to the best place that will save my best buddy.” The LSC replied, “Who, ‘Iron Steel’?” Tom answered, “Of course.” The LSC said, “Here let me look for the destinations. When, I am finished with my search, I will tell you which are the five best destinations around town!” On the big screen in front of Tom, five destinations popped up, and the LSC described the destinations. The LSC said, “The first destination that I will show you is the Magic Castle. The Magic Castle is a castle that is fit for a king, at least with magic, and there are some weird things that go on there. Then, there is the Neuschwanstein Castle.

  This castle is located in Bavaria. Bavaria is on Planet Earth.

  Followed by that, the third greatest place to bring your dragon friend back to normal is the Windsor Castle also on Planet Earth. And that is all it.” Tom asked, “Say, Do you know where the fifth castle for my friend is located?” The LSC said, “What do you mean a fifth one?”

  Tom said in a snooty way, “Well, gee, you said that there were five castles. You are an LSC, you should have some knowledge. I don’t think that I am riding in some Dodo of a vehicle. Am I?” The LSC said, “Do I look like a Dodo bird?” Tom answered, “No, but you sure act like a Dodo and have the knowledge of a Dodo.” The LSC

  basically disregarded that comment and then asked with a sigh, “Okay, do you want to know where your destination might take you?”

  Tom answered with a ton of enthusiasm and excitement, “Yes! Show me the place! You shall present me this place where it is best for me friend.” The LSC said, “Well the place that would most likely benefit your friend is the Magic Castle.” Tom said, “Doesn’t the name Magic Castle seem kind of girlish?” The LSC answered, “Well, I’ve been to the Magic Castle. I’ve dealt with folks in the same situation that you are in. Believe me, the Magic Castle is far from the girly castles of what you see in the movies.”

  Tom asked another question with enthusiasm, “Well, what does the Magic Castle look like?” The LSC said, “Shush! You don’t want to spoil the surprise. Now, do you?” Tom said, “Absolutely not!”

  The LSC said, “Good, Don’t even think about spoiling the surprise.

  Let me pinpoint the destination.” The LSC started pinpointing the destination by typing in the destination.

  The LSC typed in Magic Castle, One Hundred Dimension Travel Highway One hundred and fifty nine. While the LSC was pinpointing the destination out, Tom asked, “Say, will the dragon on the hood survive the trek to the Magic Castle?” As the LSC was finishing up pinpointing this destination, he said, “Hey Dodo, first of all it is not a trek, it is a journey, adventure, or maybe even a mission from getting from one destination to another.” Tom replied, “Well, gee, you like to say you’re famous first of alls and second of alls like a smart aleck. I will tell you this. First of all, you can call it anything, a journey, a trek, whatever. Second of all, the question that I asked is, Will my friend survive this journey? Now, I would appreciate it if you would please answer my question.” The LSC said, “Fine then, I shall answer your question. The answer is yes. Even though we are going to surpass the speed of light, we shall get to the Magic Castle in a safe manner and thus, your little friend will survive.” Iron Steel said, “I heard exactly what you said, Why don’t you learn how to keep your mouth shut?”

  The LSC said in a snobby way, “Well, Mr. Steel, Why don’t you learn how to keep your little mouth shut! You know that I have the right to throw you off of this vehicle.” Iron Steel replied, “To that comment go right ahead.” The LSC said, “Well, because I feel super merciful today, I won’t punish you.” Iron Steel said, “No, I want you to punish me, and I want you to give me your best shot.” The LSC

  said, “Well, I did this to one guy today.”

  Since the LSC was able to hear what was occurring on the outside and also what was occurring from the inside, Tom Jackson said, “No, don’t hurt him. Throw me off instead.” The LSC said, “Why would I throw you off? You didn’t do anything to annoy me. It is that thing on the outside that is annoying the living heck out of me.”

  Iron Steel said, “Hey, who are you calling that thing.”

  The LSC said, “That is it. Here it is! This is my final decision.

  You are going to be leaving my vehicle now!” The LSC tried to push Iron Steel from the hood of the vehicle by ejecting a spring and bouncing Steel off by that. Iron Steel hung onto the spring like a Leech sucking blood out of a mammal.

  As the spring fell off of the vehicle, Iron Steel said, “Ha, Ha, Ha, missed me missed me, now you got to kiss me. No to you! Ha.

  Who’s the winner now?” The LSC seemed quite angry, “Okay, here is the next solution, the claw.” The Claw was a thing that can’t be fought because the claw was able to crush mortal humans. So, the LSC had dispensed the claw. As Iron Steel witnessed the claw coming at him, Iron Steel said with a snicker, “Puh, Which strength do you have? It is not like it is rocket science to destroy some evil claw.”

  The LSC replied, “Listen, It was like rocket science designing this contraption, and everyone who has annoyed me got hit with the contraption and never seen me again or anyone or better yet, the light of day again.” Iron Steel replied, “Guess what, you can’t get me!”

  The childish behavior started to emerge from Iron Steel. Steel continued, “Nah, Nah, Nah, you can’t get me. Missed me missed me.

  Oh, wait, you didn’t even hit me.” The LSC grew angrier and angrier at Steel because of his attitude. So the LSC said, “Get off of me.” The LSC ejected his contraption. When the LSC released his contraption, Iron Steel put his dragon paw into a finger point. As Iron Steel pointed his finger at the LSC’s claw, the LSC’s claw drew closer to Iron Steel and Steel pushed his gold chest out and the claw was stopped from pushing Steel off of the vehicle. Steel was stronger than the LSC could ever be. Steel blew fire towards the claw and the claw melted quicker than melting a typical metal into mercury. Meanwhile, back inside of the vehicle, the LSC told Tom Jackson, “At this point, I am tired of your friend annoying me. Nevertheless, he has a fiery attitude.” Tom said, “Well, he has a tendency to become angry very easily. He has been to AMC’s a couple of times.” The LSC

  interrupted, “What is an AMC?” Tom said, “First thing, don’t tell Iron that I am talking about the AMC classes. And, the second thing you wanted to know was about what an AMC was. An AMC is an Anger Management Class.”

  The LSC replied sarcastically, “Oh yeah. I can tell he went to those anger management classes. Say, do you remember when I said that your friend has a fiery attitude?” Tom answered, “Why yes!” The LSC said, “I didn’t mean he had a fiery attitude figuratively. I meant it literally.” Tom said, “Well, I knew that my friend had turned into a dragon. So he might have a fiery attitude.” The LSC said, “Your friend has blown fire and melted my claw.” As they were talking about Iron Steel, he (Steel) heard everything that was being said and discussed. Sudden thuds were being heard on the hood of the LSC and the thuds became louder and louder and louder and the hood of the LSC from the interior started caving in and all of a sudden a crack in the hood and a dragon’s paw had shown. When the LSC saw the dragon’s paw, the LSC opened the orb that looked similar to the milky way galaxy and the trio went on the Light Speed Highway. Then, floating in midair was an exit sign for the Magic Castle and the LSC

  took that exit and there was the orb for the Magic Castle. The LSC

  drove right through the orb, and Iron Steel was thrown off of the vehicle as the LSC made a turn through the orb. Iron Steel was lost as he flew right through the orb while following the LSC to the castle.

  The LSC and Tom Jackson circled the spires, towers, and turrets on the castle and it came to a sudden stop as the duo arrived on the ground. Tom said to the LSC, “Thank you!” The LSC replied, �
�My pleasure. It is not like it is rocket science to drive people anywhere.”

  Tom Jackson said to himself, “Say, where is that one?” He was referring to his friend’s status because of his friend being lost or maybe...

  Chapter Seven: A description of the Magic Castle, Iron Steel found, and an encounter with the guards

  W hen Tom Jackson arrived at the Magic Castle, he was wondering where his friend was because Tom Jackson went to the Magic Castle because his friend accidentally shape shifted into a dragon; the LSC gave Tom some good advice where to go for his friend, and that advice was the Magic Castle. Now, Tom doesn’t know that his friend is behind him. A loud roar came about, and Tom said to himself, “Is this my stomach that is growling and making those dog noises?”

  The noise was heard once more and it came from the direction behind Tom. Behind Tom was a swampland and a big red dragon emerged from the swampland. The red dragon was Iron Steel and Iron Steel told Tom, “It is I that made that noise. Let’s see what this castle looks like.”

  Here is a description of what the Magic Castle looks like. On the main entrance façade, there are 10 coats of arms.

  Each coat of arms is given for each individual in the royal family. The king’s coat of arms is the biggest coat of arms. The king’s coat of arms was a blue color with four white gothic shaped crosses.

  The queen’s coat of arms was white with green lines running across the shield. Followed by that, the prince’s coat of arms had a bronze shield which symbolized the prince’s second in command of the king.

  Then, there was the prince’s sister’s coat of arms, the princess’s coat of arms. Her coat of arms was a white coat of arms with black stripes.

  On every corner of her coat of arms, there were magenta ends.

  Adjacent to the princess’s coat of arms was the knight’s coat of arms.

  The knight’s coat of arms was a humble shaped coat of arms. The humble color in the knight’s coat of arms was a plain silver color to show his humility. It was very modest looking. Next to the first knight was the knight’s brother’s coat of arms. Unlike the other knight, the knight’s fellow brother was very ostentatious and pompous about his position of Royalty inside of the Magic Castle. One knight possessed a lot of chivalry; this other knight possessed an ego. This knight’s coat of arms was bright stainless silver in color and there were two solid gold lines that appeared to be very thick and shiny running across this particular COA (Coat of Arms). Next was the jester’s coat of arms.
