  “Do you think we stand a chance?”

  “Probably not, but we have to try.”

  Robby looked at his Father and Scotty said, “Welcome to my world.”

  “You’re also leaving out something else.”

  Scotty and the Algeans looked at him. Weed said, “What is that?”

  A huge book shelf levitated off the floor and hung four feet off the floor, “Dani and I are now in the fight as well.”

  Scotty sighed, “I hope it’s enough.”

  “We’re just the first. There will be others. That means we have some time to prepare and we must use it wisely.”

  Weed leaned forward and said, “There is also the creative force to consider.”

  Robby nodded, “That’s why we’re here at this time and place. The Zord were created to meet this new enemy with us. They are also a creation. If I were a betting man, I’d put my money on them.”

  Seed said, “First we find a way to kill the pods. That will bring that being out in the open where we can get at it. Then we see.”

  Scotty stared at the two Algeans and worried about the vision that might appear.

  Dani jerked wide awake from a nightmare that had her trembling, “Robby!!”

  “What’s wrong!?!”

  “I need you here, now!!”

  Scotty teleported to Dani’s room on Bristone and reached for her. He saw her shaking and crying out of control, “What’s wrong. Tell me!”

  Dani was breathing short breaths as she held on to Robby with all her strength. Robby wrapped her in his arms and said, “Shhhh, everything’s alright. I’m here now.” He rocked her slowly in his arms and she began to slow her breathing.

  After ten minutes, she said with a quivering voice, “Everyone is going to die.”

  Robby fought hard not to over react but felt his heart rate increase, “What do you mean?”

  “I’ve had a vision and everyone in this universe is going to die.”

  “Show me, Dani.”

  Dani let him into her mind and he saw the vision she had just experienced. Scotty watched and felt his anxiety level skyrocket, “Are you sure this is a vision?” Dani leaned back and looked at him; he sighed and shook his head, “I just hoped that I saw it wrong. We need to tell my parents.”

  Both of them suddenly started trembling. Dani wailed, “We can’t tell anyone!”

  Robby was stunned; his sense of danger went off the scale when he thought about warning Scotty and Julie. The danger level was lower when he thought about saying nothing. “Oh, Robby, everyone is going to die.”

  Robby looked at the vision of Bristone burning. The atmosphere had been blown away by one of the giant Black Ships and the continents were cracked down to the planet’s core, causing molten rock to spew miles above the dead planet’s surface. He saw that all of the Empire’s planets were burning just like Bristone. He knew from the vision that no planet with an intelligent species on it in this universe was still alive and that trillions had died. He also saw that he and Dani were on Bristone’s surface talking with his parents when the beam was fired. He heard the warning from Anglo and looked up at the night sky just before the Invader fired that terrible beam.

  Dani put her head on his chest and continued to cry. This was a psychic vision and it was going to happen; there was no avoiding it. He looked at it again and felt fear and anger in equal measure. He looked down at Dani and took a deep breath. There was a reason for this; there had to be. He had to find it. He knew that even if he found it, life in this universe was ending soon and he couldn’t warn anyone about what was coming.

  Excerpt from

  The Pyramid Builders

  Lens of Time

  Dr. Christopher Connor has discovered a way to view the past. His invention collects light and focuses it such that events that occurred on Earth years ago can be viewed. All one need do is travel one light year away and one can see what was happening on the planet a year earlier by capturing and focusing the reflected light that left Earth a year ago. There’s only one problem: no ship exists that can travel faster than the speed of light, so his device cannot be conclusively demonstrated to function as advertised. That’s fine with Christopher, who would much rather party and have a good time rather than defend his creation against critics and governmental bureaucrats. Besides, who would pay to view the past anyway?

  Jillian Gordon, an Egyptologist with a PhD in Quantum Physics, has discovered that the survival of Earth depends on viewing what happened at the building of the Great Pyramid of Khufu five thousand years in the past. Christopher’s device would allow her to do just that and she intends to draft him into the project. Christopher is about to discover that the organization Jillian works for has engineered a starship with a faster-than-light drive, which will now allow his device to be field tested. The stardrive for that ship was developed from diagrams carved on the back of an ancient stone tablet excavated at the site of the Great Pyramid.

  Life for Christopher is about to make a radical departure from his party, happy-go-lucky lifestyle. Getting Christopher to focus on what needs to be done is a problem Jillian hadn’t counted on in her quest to save humanity. The predicted destruction of Earth, which is carved on the front of the tablet, doesn’t leave her much time and Christopher isn’t cooperating.

  What neither of them know is that the answer to survival is more than sixty five million light years away in light that left Earth just before the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.
