1 DAY, 10 HOURS IN THE PAST
In the industrial city of the state
X, from a country called...
In a humble home, Henry O'Neal
gladly rises from his bed to go to school because he realizes that the trip
back was not a dream. With slight marks on the face, Henry is eager to return
to school and reconnect with his past.
Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly
increase.
Job 8:7
At school, Henry is shown astonished to see the school, as he remembers,
too, Henry is reunited with his friends Lucy, Luis, Ralph and George with whom
she shared different experiences in school.
When updating himself what
happened in his absence, Henry receives the news that Luis, Ralph and George
entered the soccer team of the school, which was a dream for Henry,
nevertheless by reasons for health he could not test in the team.
After the 5 friends have
left their first class after the vacations where Henry received the welcome by
his partners and teacher, these decide to go to have breakfast to the cafeteria
of the school, but in the way Henry almost hits a new student, Jaroka, which
has drawn attention of Henry from the moment at which he saw this one for the
first time, but the emotions of the boy must be stopped by his 4 friends when
informing him that Jaroka has boyfriend and who this one is the heaviest boy of
all the High School, and worse still is the new captain of the soccer team and
does not conform that, Ian (the boyfriend of Jaroka) is super jelous in which
her girlfriend respect, because he has commanded 3 boys to the hospital.
It is why Henry decides to
take the situation peacefully and to dedicate himself to leave solely well in
his matters and to obtain his 4 friends inform him that they have written down
him along with them in an extra activity curricular call “Beyond the time” with
Professor Strambotik whom Henry must himself meet at the 12:00 p.m. hour in
which George, Ralph and Luis will appear their first training in the soccer
ground of the school. Fact that is only a meeting so that Henry meets professor
Strambotik and this one meets him.
At the midday, Henry attends
the research laboratory to appear with professor Strambotik, Where they both are recognized and they
are updated on the issue Ian.
Professor Strambotik explains Henry
how it was that he, along with his mentor at the University, and fellow thesis,
they made a machine that allows humans to travel through time, which Henry and Professor
they will introduce it to the other boys the next day to begin their research.
This research aims Henry has major physical and psychological strength to turn to face Feller in the future and prevent him from killing Deanna, but at the same time, Henry will have to change various events that Professor he scored on a notepad and dramatically transformed for the better future of Henry O'Neal.
Prof. tells Henry that his mentor, Dr. Pekovic discovered that our world is a lefty, and then it turns left. In doing so, it has increased energy and therefore adds time, or rather, subtract time. But still it would be impossible to make the Earth rotates clockwise.
However, Pekovic designed a machine that works with a flow condenser. This condenser containing positrons and neutrinos (Positrons discovered in 1949, are antiparticles of electrons, i.e. electrons are moving backward in time. And neutrinos are extremely small subatomic particles that can move at a speed slightly higher than the light) With the help of these ones, Professor will be able to create within the time machine a gravitational field turn right and dense enough to send Henry and his friends at past breaking the space-time continuum.
Astonished and incredulous,
Henry finishes the meeting with professor Strambotik and he goes to see his 3
friends in his first training, when arriving at the field, Henry observes that
Jaroka has attended to support her boyfriend Ian and who Lucy is supporting
Ralph, Luis and George.
At to be next to Lucy, Henry
observes that Ian is very strong and that has a good kick of average distance,
only who is not very technician with the ball and he only looks for to be
brilliant in front of his girlfriend. Luis however is good average camper,
George is an excellent central defense and Ralph plays the middle camp, only
that at the end of the training the coach Jacob informs them what will be the
titular team to initiate the championship where emphasize: Ian like the captain
of the team and foward, George like defense, Ralph like forward and some other
partners of them like Roland, Tom, Freddy, Jason, etc. But Luis is in the
reserves, being object of the ridicules of Ian, which does not stop funnty
himself causing that Luis asks Henry who humiliates Ian entering to the team, because
Henry plays the same position that Ian, and according Luis, Henry plays far
better and will send Ian direct to the bank, which is discarded by the same
Henry, because he is not in conditions for playing according the
recommendations of his familiar doctor.
After the school, Henry
comments his parents which will be his work in the scholar investigation,
something that bothers and worries his father, but at the same time is proud
his mother, but to calm the spirits of his ancestors Henry disclose that he is their son from 2012 and
that his duties this year beyond the duties of a young school boy.
The next day, the 5 friends
take the class from mathematics with Professor Strambotik, class that Henry to
see that serves Jaroka is excellent in mathematics impel, something that he ask
her that she reduces her notes to him that Henry does not have by reasons for
his disease, and that will occupy for the test. When seeing professor
Strambotik who Jaroka is amiable with Henry decides that both work together
throughout the semester then in the class will work in pairs and Luis will work
with Ralph and George with Lucy. Reason why Henry will work with the girl whom
nobody is wanted to approach and it is not for less.
After classes the 5 friends
meet in the research laboratory of the school to begin the adventure, where the
Prof. Shows them the machine of the time and he asks to Lucy that she be his
assistant in this first test since the machine will be proven with the 4 men
only. These men try their equipment with which they will work: A recorder of
video voice, one headset and microphone to communicate and several notebooks
and pencils to write what is necessary as well as a special suit that change
according the clothes of the time to which they will travel. And in the coordinates
of the machine Lucy locates the Babylonian civilization, but she must turn off
the cursor so that they test first with the machine without running risks.
Once the 4 dressed and
equipped, the boys enter the machine of the time which by orders of the
professor was designed to only travel at the past. When entering the machine
the boys begin to become bored because they do not see results, nevertheless
when occurring whatever the professor that need more energy, sends Lucy that
she starts the generator that the W& PC factory; facilitated him, when Lucy
starting the generator is so much the energy that the cursor starts and the 4
boys disappear of the machine. Appearing in a place unknown for them, in fact
Henry and Luis appear in a place and Ralph and George in another one. The
disturbed professor helps himself of a monitor to review the exact position of
the boys, nevertheless Lucy must activate a second monitor to be able to
observe his 4 friends at the same time, which moved and decided to explore the
place causing that the effects to travel in the time are delayed in them. Also
making difficult the communication with the professor and that can communicate
with the people of the civilization in which they are.
Meanwhile, Luis and Henry
are cornered by a legion of Persian soldiers, who have cleared them all the
technological equipment even the signalers. The unique thing that they can do
is that Luis and Henry obey, because they do not understand a single word than
the soldiers say who take the travelers as if they were his slaves.
Ralph and George on the
other hand, enter the hanging gardens of Babylon, where they are very good
received or that seems, because they do not understand anything either than the
people say them who have found them. Nevertheless they are taken to the feet of
king Belshazzar, but as they do
not understand a single word than he says them, the king feels like victim and
decides to send to cut the head to them, in spite of all Ralph and George
understands that the things do not go well and tries to communicate with the
Professor and Lucy, but at the same time, Henry and Luis are jailed, but as
Luis snatched his micro to one of the guards, they also decide to communicate
with the professor, is why none of the 2 conversations can be carried out.
Desperate, the professor
tries to block one of the two communications to be able to speak at least with
an team. Lucy supports in which she can, but is not sufficient, the desperation
becomes prey of the 4 friends also, because two are jailed and the other 2 they
will cut them the head and the worse thing is than they do not understand
anything than the people speak of the place, is more not even know where they
are. Will be able professor and Lucy to help Henry, Luis, Ralph and George? …
