Dialogue
«You»: Whoa... «You»: Where am I? Something about this place is familiar though... «You»: Actually, A LOT is familiar about this place. Wait a second! This is where Battleon SHOULD be!! «You»: As soon as I jumped into that portal, all the buildings just disappeared!! «You»: Did -- did I do that?? Did I just destroy town!?!? «You»: Okay, I have two choices. Sit around here for a while and see if anyone else shows up, or go out and find someone else by myself!
 * Wait here for a while.
 * «You»: Well, for now I will wait.
 * «You»: mmm... getting tired...I should go lay down somewhere.
 * «You»: Ahh... morning already. I guess I had better start searching.
 * «You»: Now, where do I go first?


 * Go search for others.
 * North
 * South
 * East
 * West


 * 1 BATTLE
 * See List #1 below

«You»: Hmm...something makes me feel like I should go check the east side again...

«You»: Another one of those portals! This one is different somehow... I can almost SEE something inside --


 * 1 BATTLE
 * Level 0-25 : ??? (Weakest version)
 * Level 26-49 : ??? (Middle version)
 * Level 50+ : ??? (Strongest Version)

«You»: What on Lore could that have been?? I think that this place is where Battleon USED to be, so I think I traveled to the future, or to the past. «You»: Since there doesn't seem to be any evidence that a town was once here, maybe it's more likely I traveled into the PAST! But how did that portal appear in the first place? «You»: And why?? And what was that THING that tried to kill me??? «You»: Uh oh, the portal is back again! Wait… this one is more like the first one. I can’t see anything in there… I hope it goes back home!
 * Jump In! - (Takes you back to Battleon)
 * Explore More! - (Continue the quest)

«You»: There must be more here than just that portal. If I DID travel into the past, then that means that not only is town missing, but EVERYONE I knew here is missing too! «You»: This could be very bad... I don't have any idea what to do or where to look. Maybe I should have jumped in that portal when I had the chance.


 * 2 BATTLES
 * See List #2 below

«You»: Looks like the local wildlife knows I'm here-- I'd better go somewhere else!! «You»: Okay, now I should be safer out here. I need to figure out how to track down one of those portals so I can get back to my own time!


 * 1 BATTLE
 * Level 0-49 : Drone (10)
 * Level 50+ : Drone (10) / Drone (40)

«You»: Wow!! What was THAT thing? The Drakel have some crazy technology, but that thing definitely didn't belong here in the past!! «You»: I remember overhearing Warlic talk to someone at the Inn about portals... what was it that he said--? Warlic (flashback): There are three types of portals that a wizard can learn to manipulate. They are: Dimensional; Spacial; and Temporal. Warlic: Dimensional portals can transport someone from one dimension to another. The portal between here and the Ethereal Realm is one of them. Warlic: Spacial portals can move someone or something from one place to another, within the same dimension. I can teleport myself from Battleon to Lolosia, or elsewhere. Warlic: And Temporal portals are for travel through Time itself! Time portals are the hardest for any wizard to master. Because of that, they are very rare. Warlic: Time portals most often appear due to circumstances beyond any wizard's control, and can often be by-products of Dimensional or Spacial portal creation. Warlic: Each kind of portal has its own dangers. Dimensional portals might transport someone's spirit but leave their body behind. Warlic: Spacial portals might send you to the bottom of an ocean or the inside of a mountain. But the problems one might have with a time portal can be the worst.... Warlic: If you travel through time, you might forever alter the present by changing something in the past. Those with evil intentions might also use time portals to wreak havoc. Warlic (end flashback): I always recommend to any young wizard to NEVER attempt to create a Time portal... they are for use only in extreme circumstances, and if no other tactic works... «You»: Someone must be messing around with Time!! This could be worse than I thought.


 * 1 BATTLE
 * Level 0-49 : Drone (10)
 * Level 50+ : Drone (10) / Drone (40)

«You»: Not another one!! I need to get out of here now and tell Warlic about this! «You»: Another portal! This one doesn't seem to have anything wanting to come out. Maybe it wants me to go in--
 * Jump In!

???: hooo huuu.... uoooy eeeera nii roof ti woon!!! «You»: huh what??? Have I seen you somewhere before? ???: ......... ???: xxaan raack? ???: eeeyyaaassss!!!!!! Morgan: Yah beat those up pretty bad. «You»: What is this place??? Who are you?! Morgan: My home. If yah don't like it, yah can try and spit-shine the whole thing. But yah won't get far. Maxwell: Hollow is NOT going to like that you broke his security drones... «You»: Those little flying things? Maxwell: Yeeeeahhhh. «You»: But they shot at me!! Maxwell: Are you DEAD? No? Well then... that about settles it. Hollow won't like it one bit. «You»: Okay, can we slow down a little? I don't even know where I am. First I was in Battleon, with Yulgar's Inn, Warlic's shop, the Guardian Tower... then a weird portal showed up-- Morgan: Let me guess-- you JUMPED IN. «You»: Well, I ADVENTURE for a living. You see some mystical portal and you jump in. It's what I do. Morgan: Didn't anyone ever tell yah that if yah see something that de-materializes yer body and flings you across time and space, that yah DON'T just dive in without asking questions?? «You»: ......... Point taken. Your hair is PINK, by the way. Maxwell: Ahem. Rule number 2: Don't make fun of the girl with the BFG. What's done is done. You're here now. So you hopped in this portal, found yourself where? In the past? «You»: I looked around and found another portal, but a giant monstrous arm tried to pull me in. So I beat it back until that portal closed. Morgan: I feel for yah-- I HATE giant monstrous arms! «You»: Another portal showed up and I decided to keep looking around a little more. That's when those flying drones came after me. The next portal I saw took me here! Maxwell: From the looks of things, you are from our past.... maybe hundreds or more years ago. The portals you've been so casually hopping around in are time portals. Maxwell: We're not controlling them, but chances are the next one you see will be back to your own time. Those drones you saw went crazy and escaped from our mechanic, Hollow. Maxwell: You look to me like an experienced warrior of some kind, and we could use your help. There is one more robot that got away. He's somewhere in this junkyard. Maxwell: Tell you what... you go that way with Morgan to look around for that robot, and I will go this way. Help us get him, and we'll help you find that portal back home. «You»: Deal! Morgan: Let's go! Oh, by the way, anyone ever tell yah that yah dress funny?

You have the choice to get Left, Up, or Right.

Morgan: woooooohoooooo! Now THAT was some fine BOT-KICKIN'!!! «You»: Okay, Maxwell, I did what you wanted. Maxwell: That you did! Good job. Now let's find you a portal home.... «You»: Before we do that, I have a question. Just why are all these time portals popping up everywhere? From what I know, hardly anyone can control them. Maxwell: You got that right. NO-ONE can control them that we know of. In the past, where you're from, MAGIC is extremely powerful. Maxwell: That's the only thing we know of that can even HOPE to control time portals. But here, in your future, Magic is all but gone. Very few people know its secrets. Morgan: So we think something REALLY BAD is happening right under our noses. Someone-- or something-- has gotten a lot of magical power in OUR TIME. «You»: Well, if you ever need help, just send someone back to my time to get me. I'll be ready. Maxwell: Morgan, why don't you go back to the past with our new friend here? A little time-recon might help us figure out what's going on! Morgan: Sweet!! I'm ready to ROCK!!

'''Before long, you find a portal back home. Something tells you that things are just getting interesting...'''

You then return to Battleon.
