The boy and the door part 7

"Two reasons: 1.Your father told me. 2.I know you in another dimension." Captain When said. "I will tell you what I told your father. Time Delta is one of many ships in the operation. Operation D --D standing for dimension--  is built to stop the Dimensioneaters (pronounced Dimension-eaters ). Dimensioneaters, as their name implies, slowly eat dimensions. Normally the're just a group living on the furthest reaches of the multiverse. Now is not normally. We, the Multiverse Agency of Protection ( M.A.P) have received word that the Dimensioneaters are on the move toward the main dimension."

The Boy And The Door part 6

At the end of the hallway there was a door. The outer edge of the door was wood, with a gold plated doorknob. Next to the door was a sat of controls: At the bottom the was a card reader, above that was a dial, and above that all was a small screen. Captain When slid his card through the reader, and turned the dial until the screen said: sick bay. He opened  the door. They all walked in. "Hello Zak." Captain When said .   

Zak sat bolt upright. "How do you know my name?"

Meanwhile:"Sir, he's awake." A man came rushing in. He was dressed in a white shirt and pants with a red cross on each shoulder and one in the middle of his shirt.

The captain rose from his chair and said  "Come with me, Mr. Roc; your son is awake. Bring your other children, too." They were in a large room. In the middle it held a platform ringed by tiers of control stations.In the middle of each ring was another platform which also had control stations lining the edges. It continued like this until it reached the top. The top one, however, held one chair in the middle surrounded by more controls than any of the other stations: This was the captains spot. Above it all was a large see-through dome, though it was apparently computerized.
"Where are we going?" Mr. Roc asked as they walked down a long hallway.
"To the sick bay."

the boy and the door part 4

"Zak. Zak. Zak, wake up!" Zaks mom was standing over him.
"Mom I had a weird dream where..." Zak sat up and rubbed his eyes. He looked around.
"It wasn't a dream," his mother said. They were in a large rectangular room, Zak estimated about 20 feet from top to bottom, and about 100 feet across. The walls were lined with beds. There was a door at the end of the room. It looked exactly like the one from his not-a-dream, the one thing different was the inscription: Time Delta Sick Bay.
 "Mom, where are Dad and the others?" Zak asked.
 "They're all talking to the captain," Mom said.
 "Ok. Question number two: where are we?"
"We don't know. That's what your father is trying to find out."

the boy & the door part 2

He was amazed at the inside. It had guns, bombs, grenades, swords, clubs, and all sorts of weapons that Zak did not recognize. The room also contained all sorts of protective gear: bullet proof vests, chain mail, breastplates, shields, and many other items lined the walls. The room itself was wide and in the middle it had a little table and in the middle was a dome . Zak circled the room and faced the door. Above it was the inscription: Time delta  war room. Bang boom kabloooeee! Zak looked as the door flew off its hinges. Zak stumbled backwards trying to support himself. Zak grabbed the dome and sudden burst of light filled the room. Zak saw that the door was fixed, then Zak tripped and one of the clubs that had been dislodged by the explosion fell and knocked him out.
