The Clock Tower

**The Clock Tower** is the fifth and final area in *Blue's Journey: Time's Up*. It takes place mostly inside the tower.

## Appearance

The Clock Tower has a look of the London's Big Ben, but is a lot more bigger and wider. The inside resembles a torturous castle theme. Metal chains big enough to restrain a monster hangs from the castle's walls. There are dungeons laid out in the basements for children to starve inside of. The walls from the inside seem mechanical itself, moving on its own. The place has a warped atmosphere

## Rooms

* The Lobby/Enterance
* The Clock Assembly Line
* The Trash Room
* The Twisted Hallways
* The Monster Chamber

## Inhabitants

* The Clock Man
* The Clock Soldiers
* The Chronophobias
* Monster Blue

## Solution

Kane, Stellar, and Zarah enter The Clock Tower through The Sewers. They find the entire tower has a clock mechanical theme. Gears are spinning and turning at every corner, but most noticeably are the many headless Clock Soldiers working.

The Protector wakes up and climbs out of Zarah's pocket. She grows to full size.

**The Protector**: "Hm? Ah! What happened while I was out?"

**Kane**: "Lets see...a Sewer...Blob like monster...and I burned it."

**The Protector**: "Where are we now?"

**Kane**: "We don't know. We just got here."

The kids enter a large workshop room and see Clockwork Solders working. They are headless monsters with clock parts as their bodies and they even move mechanically.

**Stellar**: "Oh, no. Stay close, everyone."

**The Protector**: "What if they see us?"

**Zarah**: "We can use clock objects to blend us in with them"

**Kane**: "That could work actually"

Stellar, Protector, Kane and Zarah have to sneak past the headless monsters in order to get towards Blue's location. They blend in by using clock like objects to disguise themselves. Kane uses a clock face, Stellar uses an old bucket, Protector uses a painting of a clock, and Zarah uses an old tool box. Once they get through without being spotted, they are tasked to go up this long flight of stairs.

**Zarah**: "Oh, boy! Everybody hold hands...We gotta walk slowly or we'll all fall."

**Kane**: "Gotcha!"

The stairs seem almost endless, expanding and getting more twisted as they go up. The stairs are made out of wood, are creaky, and are massively damaged as if it was about to collapse. They hear monstrous whimpers and cries.

**Zarah**: "Did you guys hear that?"

**The Protector**: "Time to get ready to fight whatever's up there."

Kane, Stellar, Protector, and Zarah walks into a large room known as The Monster Champers. The monster cries are getting louder. It sounds like if was struggling to move, breath, and if it was in severe amounts of pain. Its voice is also mixed with a child's voice

**Zarah**: "Hello? Anyone...in...here? Blue?!"

Zarah walks forward for a moment until she gets closer to the monster. Zarah becomes more and more afraid with each step. She then sees Blue's cap lying on the floor.

**Zarah**: "Blue?!?"

Zarah reaches for it until a giant monster claw pulls the hat back. She looks up to find a monster twisted version of Blue, corrupted, distorted, and with a giant clock strapped to his chest, his attention fixated on the pain he is being forced to indoor, in a room filled with an abundance of toys. Monster Blue is hooked up to a machine that powers The Clock Tower, but causes him intense pain. He is also chained up and a tube of wires and needles are injected into his skin.

**Zarah**: "B-blue..."

Kane, Stellar, and The Protector finds him, shocked by his distorted form.

**Kane**: "Is that...oh no..."

**The Protector**: "Poor kid..."

Kane and Zarah try to call Blue to escape, but has rusty metal chains strapped to his limbs. Blue is unable to move as it hurts too much for the poor kid. The chains seem to have giant locks in them with key holes.

**Kane**: "Maybe theres a key around here. Guys, wait here. I'll go find it.

Kane runs off to retrieve keys from separate rooms that resemble locations from The Clock Town. Zarah, Protector, and Stellar stays behind to keep Blue company.

**Zarah**: "Blue, are you okay?"

Blue lets out monstrous breaths and attempts to shake his head no.

**Zarah**: "Hang tight, buddy. We'll get you out of here."

Upon Kane returning with the keys, Monster Blue is freed. Monster Blue forces off the injection needles on his arms and forces himself to stand.

**Kane**: "You're free! Blue, can you stand up?

Monster Blue stands up in a crawling position.

**Zarah**: "Alright, follow us."

The children all guide Monster Blue throughout the building and Blue spots Headless Clock Soldiers. Monster Blue lets out a few growls and reaches at them.

**The Protector**: "Blue, wait!"

Monster Blue takes his frustration out on any monster who tries to hurt them by either violently crushing them, eating them, or stomping them. Blue breaks through a few walls to try to escape while trampling over Clock Soldiers in the process.

**The Protector**: "Blue!"

**Zarah**: "Blue! Hold on a minute!"

Upon looking for The Clock Man for revenge, Monster Blue breaks through the wall and crawls down the building from the outside, leaving Kane, Stellar, and Zarah alone for a while.

**Stellar**: "Well, I guess we're on our own for a while..."

**Kane**: "Come on, I'm sure we'll catch up with him."

The 3 children will have to continue alone. They run down stairs and into a trash filled room with broken clocks and Chronophobia corpses. The trash goes into a machine to pump out new clocks to ship out to the town.

**Kane**: "This again? Didn't we have something similer to this already?"

**Stellar**: "Yeah, well. Lets jus shut off the power.

Kane and Stellar decided to shut off the machine, causing an explosion through the floors. The Clock Soldiers rush in and charge at the now cornered children.

**The Protector**: "Crap!"

**Kane**: "Great, now what do we do?!"

Monster Blue's giant hand reaches in and grabs the soldiers. He pulls them out of the room to violently rip them to pieces. The building shakes due to Blue's massive form crawling all over the tower. Zarah runs to the giant hole to watch Blue crawl away.

**Zarah**: "Thank you, Blue!"

Once, the Kids make it to the exit, they are stopped by The Clock Man, ready to turn them into monsters under his control. As the monster reaches for them, Monster Blue breaks down the exit behind and quickly crushes The Clock Man. Monster Blue lets out a angry scream. He is also covered in blood and is breathing rapidly.

**Kane**: "Ah! Blue!"

**Stellar**: "We can escape!"

Blue's massive weight was too much as the ground below them sinks in and they fall towards the basement area. Clock Solders also sink into the basement area with the rest of them. The 3 kids have to quickly climb out of the basement as the tower begins to collapse. Clock Soldiers chase the 3 children up the stairs to stop them. Monster Blue grabs The Clock Soldiers and rips them apart and eats them. The Clock Man teleports behind Blue to stop him. The Clock Man and Monster Blue violently fight in the background with Monster Blue suffering the most damage.

**Zarah**: "Blue!"

**Kane**: "Keep going! Keep going!"

The Clock Man painfully stomps Blue's body, breaking his twisted and mangled bones, causing him to scream and whimper painful cries. Zarah stops running to see Blue suffering. Zarah starts to cry as she can hear Blue say "Help me..."

**Zarah**: "Blue!"

**Stellar**: "Zarah! We have to leave! Lets go!"

**Zarah**: "Wait!"

Monster Blue gains the energy to kick the monster away for him to fall, but quickly collapses. Zarah begins to approach Blue and puts her hand on his finger.

**Zarah**: "...Blue? Promise you'll strong for me. Please...?"

Monster Blue stares at Zarah as he sees she is upset to see him beaten up. He sees the rest of his friends approach Zarah to look at him. Monster Blue turns to see The Clock Man twisting himself to stand up.

**Kane**: "Zarah! The Clock Man is getting up!."

Kane quickly pulls her back as he sees The Clock Man get closer to Blue. The Kids all escape right before the tower collapses. The Clock Man keeps damaging Blue as blood splats from his mouth. Monster Blue gets too weak to even fight back. His body twists in pain. He shrinks and warps back into his child form. Blue is bleeding with plenty of cuts and tears all over his body. When the kids see the tower crumble, Blue, now back to normal and covered in his own blood, flies and lands on the streets. The others are hit by fallen rubble and become injured.

**Blue**: "...guys...are you all okay..."

Blue slowly starts to crawl towards his injured friends, coughing blood. The Clock Man teleports out of the rubble, bigger than before and even more monstrous than before. The Clock Man is around the size of the building structures. The world beside him becomes more twisted the more he walks to Blue's spot. The monster roars in pure dreaded anger. An army of Chronophobias and Clock Soldiers emerge from behind the monster to join him.

**Blue**: "Oh..no...no..."

Blue is too injured to run away anymore and with no way to defend himself, Blue turns to face the monster in despair, seemingly ready to accept his inevitable death. Just as he is within the Clock Man's reach, Blue turns around to see the barely conscious Zarah, Kane, Protector, and Stellar injured from the collapse of The Tower, refusing to give up as he confronts the tall mechanical monster. The Clock Man reaches his huge hand towards Blue.

**Blue**: "They came all this way for me. Stay strong!"

Blue sees his burnt hat flung from the explosion and it lands in front of him, but it gets stepped on by The Clock Man. He watches as the monsters get closer and closer. The ground cracks beneath their feet.

**Blue**: "I hope you get ready to burn..."

With the raise of his hand, Blue uses his fire powers to combat The Clock Man's reality warping. Once he is able to knock the Clock Man down to his knees, Blue continues to fight back. After the boy repeatedly beats him back, the Clock Man finally backs down, gets ignited, and burns away in defeat, along with his army, causing the entire town to soon catch fire which spreads fast.

**Blue**: "Hmph! Now, you die."

Blue twists his fist to make the fire burst brighter, unknowingly causing the destruction of the town moments later. Blue picks up his hat and puts it on.

**Blue**: "Phew. I'm glad that's over. Guys!"

He runs towards his injured friends and wakes them up. He begins shaking them, wanting them to open their eyes.

**Blue**: "Zarah! Kane! Stellar! Protector! Wake up! Are y'all okay!?"

The children wake up and stare at a bloody injured Blue.

**Zarah**: "Blue?! Blue! You're okay!"

**Kane**: "What happened back there?!? And what happened to you?!?"

**Blue**: "Long story. Ow! These cuts are killing me."

**The Protector**: "Hold still, Blue."

The Protector heals Blue's wounds and cleans him up with her magic.

**The Protector**: "At least your okay."

Blue smiles and Zarah hugs Blue too tightly. Blue's face turns purple, unable to breath. Zarah lets go of him and Blue falls.

**Blue**: "Eep! Zarah! Too tight...face turning purple."

**Zarah**: "Sorry! Sorry!"

**Kane**: "Great, you broke him. Hey, hold on. Is something about explode?!"

**Blue**: "Nah, that's just the-"

The town soon entirely catches fire and starts to explode in a nuclear style. Blue's ignited rage caused the massive explosion that soon consumes the entire town. The Chronophobias, Shoppers, and other monsters gets blown up and incinerated. Every single aspect of the town is burnt up and collapsed.

**The Protector**: "RUN!!!"

**Kane**: "OH, MY GOD!!!"

Kane is nearly crushed by a falling building. Stellar and Zarah jump over sinking pits. Blue dodges falling building and blasts fire balls at them. All of them see a giant building about to crush them. Blue channels fire inside his mouth and breaths a long ray of fire and blows up the building.

**Blue**: "Woah! Awesome!"

**Kane**: "I'm sorry. How long could you do this for?!"

**Blue**: "I have no idea!"

**Zarah**: "Whatever it is, its hot!"

Blue and Kane turn to Zarah with a confused look on their faces.

**Zarah**: "What?"

**Stellar**: "Guys, watch where your going!"

The Protector, Blue, Stellar, Kane, and Zarah make a run for their lives as the city is ignited in flames. Locations they've visited in the town get burned up with the monsters still inside. They make it out of the city ending the town's rampage. Blue looks at the remains of The Chronometer, now nothing but wreckage and ashes. Some fire even still remains.

**Blue**: "Wow...all that...is now gone."

Blue turns around and gives his friends a hug, thanking them for rescuing him.

**Blue**: "Thank you...for saving my life."

**Zarah**: "Anytime, buddy!"

**The Protector**: "So, wanna explain that fire stuff?"

**Blue**: "Turns out I have fire manipulation? I didn't even know I had it. I guess it only comes out when I'm angry and determined to save people I care for."

**Stellar**: "Aw, you care about us!"

**Blue**: "Heh, of course I do. Anyway, where are we going next?"

**Kane**: "I'm not sure. Wherever we go, we're doing it together."

**The Protector**: "Yeah! Together forever. Although, where ARE we going next?"

**Kane**: "I don't know, but I don't feel good for some reason..."

Kane sees Blue juggling fire balls in his hands and giggling.

**Blue**: "Heh, wherever it is, let it be known I can set them a fire!"

Blue eats the fire balls and swallows them. He burps smoke. Blue's friends giggle, but Kane only smiles. Kane rubs his head a little and signals the others to start moving. The kids hold hands and begin walking, ending Time's Up. To be continued in Kane's Final Vision.
