Famer's story writing debate Round #2 Draferman VS TUF

Chapter 2The Paradox ProblemThe shock on Ed's face is so imminent, that it looks as though he has just been told pigs could fly. With everything going on right now, Ed no longer doubts even THAT is possible.Ed Looks as if he is about to say something, though the words will not escape from his mouth.Finally Steve breaks the silence." I can't say I know entirely what is going on, or that my hypothesis will even make sense, but I am going to explain this to you now the best that I can" Steve starts. "As you know I have been working on this project for quite some time now. That project obviously being time travel-" Ed rolls his eyes at this, but let's him continue." I have been studying time relativity through other planets, and have developed the process to disrupt the space, time continuum. The answer so many scientists have been looking for for years, has finally been achieved! The answer was so simple. All I had to do was a magnetic structure that had the ability to maintain gravitational momentum in space. When that magnet enters space, and into different realms of time (a black hole for example), the concepts of gravity is no longer the controlling mechanism of the magnet! A single Magnet like the one I have obtained can carry the dimensions of time simply by coming in contact with the black hole!" Steve seems so proud of himself, that Ed feels his head will up and float away with how big it is getting.Ed finally speaks "Okay so how did you acquire this magnet?! Never mind, I don't think I want to know... is there any explanation for... For this!?" Ed exclaims pointing at the dead Steve on the ground.Steve looks pensive for a second, before proceeding to answer."The grandfather paradox, is the best explanation I can give you, Ed. The grandfather paradox is a hypothetical situation in which a time traveler goes back in time and attempts to kill his grandfather at a time before his grandfather met his grandmother. If he did so, then his mother or father never would have been born, and neither would the time traveler himself, in which case the time traveler never would have gone back in time to kill his grandfather. Now obviously our situation is different, but the paradox still remains, or at least I think it would."Suddenly there is movement on the screen on the laptop, and both looks down at the video feed. They see a casually dressed man approach the house. Ed's jaw drops in astonishment once more, as he sees himself as he was only less than an hour or two ago. Past Steve opens the door for Past Ed, and Past Ed enters curiously. Past Steve is excited and erratic. " I must show you my new invention!" He quickly grabs Past Ed's arm and pulls him over to the time machine quickly explaining a bunch of gears and gadgets to Past Ed, who understands literally none of this. As Steve and Ed watch the video feed, everything seems so familiar, it is almost unreal.Then something different happens. Past Steve looks towards Ed. Then he looks over to the table. Past Ed Looks incredibly confused. Almost as confused as the Present Ed is now watching this."Where is my laptop!? It is missing! I swear it was here only moments ago! I can't test the machine without the launch codes, which are all in my laptop." Past Ed Starts frantically searching around the room desperate to find his missing computer. Present Steve suddenly speaks to Present Ed from within the Shed. "You see, this is the Paradox I was talking about. As you can see, our Past Selves no longer have the means to travel in time, thus creating a paradox. The only thing is... The only thing is we shouldn't be here if the paradox really worked."Ed Finally gives up looking confused and states " You lost me at 'Paradox', Steve."Suddenly from the video Feed on the laptop, they see Past Ed become angry. "Listen Steve I don't have time for this bologna. I am going back home." He turns towards the door."Wait!" Past Steve Stops searching, and darts towards Past Ed. " Just wait, I have something to show you! I am not crazy I swear!"With that The two from the past leave the house.Steve Looks down at Future Steve's body, limp, pale and as cold as a dead fish. How was he going to clean up this mess now? They had to get back to the present.Then he notices it... The little tiny piece of paper clenched in the dead Steve's hand. "What's this..." He says as he picks it up. Ed looks up at Steve curiously. Steve Unfolds the tiny slip of paper to see his bad hand writing scribbled over the paper. He reads it out loud to the best of his ability."Not a Paradox. Multi-Verse theory."There is another few words scribbled under this, but it is so illegible, that Steve has a hard time depicting what it says. It almost looked as if it said "Death return Piccot." But that didn't make any sense.Steve stuffs the Piece of paper into his pocket.Ed Speaks "Multi-Verse theory?""The multiverseis the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes that together comprise everything that exists and can exist: the entirety of space, time, matter, and energy as well as the physical laws and constants that describe them. If this is a multi-verse situation, then that means the relevance of time is only a partial factor to time traveling. This is Extremely Dangerous, Ed. I didn't consider that when I made this machine. If an entity from one universe can enter into an alternate one, than they could drastically effect the original Universe."Ed seems to understand, but still has the look of many questions on his face." So, what does this mean?" Ed asks."Not now. Quickly, lets get back to the time machine. We have to return to the present, while our Past selves are not here."The two quickly rush backs towards the house. Steve instantly hooks up his laptop, and enters the proper codes. Him and Ed hop in the machine. All is dark. Suddenly the whirring sounds starts. The hammering, and the green light. The feeling they experienced not too long ago was being re-lived. Suddenly The Vibrations, and the noise stop. Steve presses the button to release the door to the egg shaped machine, and suddenly sunlight filters in. The two men Step out into the world, only for their excited faces to be turned into that of expressions of horror. Where one there was Steve's home, now they appeared to be in a Junk yard. The sky above is dark with fog. The air smells of fire, and smoke. Gun shots and screams are heard in the distance, along with police alarms. The world is chaos.Steve's expression turns dark, and expressionless. "Our entire present time has been ruined... Everything we know and loved will be altered in some way or another. We Shouldn't have come here. We have already potentially damaged the future by interacting with my Future self.""What do we do?" Ed seems nervous and afraid."We have to go back in the past. Again. This time Back to when I invented the machine. I need to somehow prevent myself from creating this machine. If we don't do this then we will be stuck in this dimension."Ed looks around. In the middle of no where. That's where they were. There was rubble, and trash everywhere, for miles. And alone in the middle of it all was a large damaged steel eggs with two confused and frightened men standing out side. Ed Looks at the machine, and suddenly his heart drops."Umm Steve... That sounds like a great Idea and all, but... I think we are going to have a problem getting back in the past with this." He points to the Machine, and Steve notices the damaged control panel."Great. Were stuck here. This is going to take me months to fix!" Steve shouts angrily, and he kicks the machine, with a hard THUD. Steve falls to the ground and plants his face in his hands in defeat. Everything was lost. His time travel experiment had turned horribly wrong. Steve is Angry. Then he looks up and Sees a sign That reads "Avery Piccot" Pointing in the direction of a Giant pile of rubble. The two were going to be in for a long day.
