1
00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.

2
00:00:08,279 --> 00:00:13,519
I'm Martin, and you are listening to Dad's bedtime stories. Tonight,

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,039
we're headed back into the Spaceship universe for a story

4
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,600
based on a suggestion I'll play in just a second.

5
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:24,800
If you've never listened to any episodes from the Spaceship Universe,

6
00:00:25,399 --> 00:00:29,440
that's completely fine, because all you have to know is

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,159
that you're a kid who has a magical spaceship that

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:37,479
can do just about anything and go just about anywhere. Now,

9
00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:39,960
let's check out the suggestion for today.

10
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: Hi, Martin, my name's McKenna and I'm from a Lastika,

11
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:48,799
and I would like a story about a crystal planet

12
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,880
where you go to a planet and it has a

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,600
bunch of crystals and like the crystals, they have like

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,759
different powers or they can do different things, Like if

15
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:02,079
you see a green crystal with like a brown base,

16
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,560
it can grow grass wherever you take it. So stuff

17
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:08,120
like that. I love your podcast. Thank you so.

18
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:12,799
Speaker 1: Much by great idea. McKenna from Alaska. I think that's

19
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:15,000
something that a lot of other people in our audience

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,760
will like too.

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: Before we get started.

22
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I just want to give a few shout outs to

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,719
my newest Patreon sponsors.

24
00:01:22,239 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 3: Thank you.

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:28,599
Speaker 1: First off to Owen from Chelmsford, Ontario. I've never been there,

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,159
but it is in the same province I live in.

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,239
And second, thank you too, Wilder. I really appreciate all

28
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,719
of my Patreon sponsors. You really keep this podcast running.

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,120
And if you join Patreon for as little as one

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,040
dollar a month, or you can even pay upfront for

31
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:50,519
the entire year for like twelve dollars if you want to.

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,439
Some people like that more. You get ad free episodes

33
00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:59,680
of the podcast through a private RSS link that you

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,480
can find on Patreon. You can also listen to the

35
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:06,519
episodes directly on Patreon, but I highly recommend downloading the

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:12,439
RSS feed. I am still having trouble with some ads

37
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:15,919
that are supposed to be blocked. It seems I'm in

38
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,680
constant communication with the people who are telling me they

39
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,680
are blocked, but then I keep getting a few messages

40
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:25,960
here and there about ads that shouldn't be running, and

41
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,960
that upsets me greatly. So I really do apologize. We

42
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:34,960
are working to make sure that gets corrected. Last, I

43
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,439
just want to give a big shout out to everyone

44
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:37,199
who's sending.

45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: Me mostly pictures.

46
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:40,719
Speaker 1: A lot of people have sent me some really cool

47
00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:43,439
pictures and drawings that they've done. I appreciate that a

48
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,599
lot and a few people have sent me some story ideas.

49
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:50,080
So we're going all the way till I think I

50
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,120
said about June fifteenth for this contest, or these two contests,

51
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:00,199
the picture contest and the story writing contest. So if

52
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,199
you have a great story that you think would make

53
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,520
a great episode of the show, you can send it

54
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,319
to dadt Bedtime Stories at gmail dot com. Or if

55
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,560
you have some artwork you just want to share with me,

56
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,360
you can send it to the same address. But now

57
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,560
it's that time again. Time to get as comfy as

58
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,719
you can in that bed, close your eyes and imagine

59
00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:31,800
yourself doing what the kid in the story does. Imagine

60
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,759
yourself waking up on spaceship. It turns out you fell

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,120
asleep on the couch again. You get up, swing your

62
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:44,960
legs over the side, and stretch your arms up in

63
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,199
the air. Ugh, good boarding, spaceship. Eh find anything interesting

64
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:56,879
while I was sleeping? Yes, indeed I did. I have

65
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:05,240
discovered a crystal planet. Oh like power crystals? You ask, uh,

66
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:11,439
the ones that power the ship? Perhaps spaceship answers. There

67
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:17,839
are some signs of very powerful crystals. However, my scans

68
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:22,279
indicate that many of these crystals are a little bit different,

69
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,439
different in a good way or different in a bad way.

70
00:04:27,879 --> 00:04:32,560
You ask, that certainly depends on how you look at it,

71
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:37,959
Spaceship answers. My scans show that the crystals appear to

72
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:44,240
interact with living biology. Simulations suggest that each type of

73
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:49,199
crystal on this planet may enhance a different ability of

74
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:56,839
the human body. You slowly turn towards the ship. Oh,

75
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,319
what do you mean, enhance the human body, like give

76
00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:08,920
me magical powers or something like that, perhaps, Spaceship answers,

77
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,480
I mean that they temporarily enhance your connection to certain

78
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:23,480
forms of energy, motion, matter, or other special forces. So superpowers,

79
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:32,040
you say, yes, superpowers. Well, Spaceship, I think it's time

80
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:39,160
to set a course for that planet. Understood, setting course Now,

81
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,480
Spaceship turns a little bit to the right and heads

82
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,120
a little bit up from your current path, then jumps

83
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:53,959
to super hyper drive. After a short trip through a

84
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,560
wormhole like tunnel at incredible speed, the ship comes to

85
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:06,600
a step directly above a planet that is definitely definitely

86
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,120
made of crystals. In fact, from far away, the planet

87
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:16,639
looks kind of like a decoration made by a toddler

88
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,240
that got a hold of one of those bejeweling devices

89
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:29,399
or whatever they're called. It's very sparkly everything, sparkly. Forests

90
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:35,480
glitter like glass, mountains, sparkle in all different colors. There's

91
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,800
long rivers that look like there are shiny crystals floating

92
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:41,639
on their surface.

93
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: The whole thing.

94
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:52,639
Speaker 1: Is incredibly colorful, blue, green, gold, purple, everything just sort

95
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,199
of glittering in the sunlight. You jump into the command

96
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,079
chair and grab a hold of the joystick, steering the

97
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:07,360
ship down towards the planet. You soon find yourself gliding

98
00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:13,600
over a valley filled with enormous crystal towers. Some are

99
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:19,879
red and sharp, some are yellow and bright, some are

100
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:26,120
blue and as clear as water. Others are green, white, orange,

101
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,959
and purple, all glowing softly, as if the planet itself

102
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,519
was powered or something. Spaceship lands on a flat silver

103
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:45,199
plain between several crystal fields of all different colors. The

104
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,720
back door opens up and you head down the ramp

105
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:55,319
and take a step onto the crystally ground. When you

106
00:07:55,439 --> 00:08:00,439
step down, there's sort of a little musical jing that

107
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:06,040
plays beneath your feet. The air smells clean and cool

108
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:11,279
and changer. Your well. Shape shifting dog, currently in the

109
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,879
form of a earth puppy, jumps out behind you, running

110
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,439
around on the surface of the planet and transforming into

111
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,839
several different creatures before landing on a bird. The bird

112
00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:32,720
floats over and lands atop a red crystal. A scanning

113
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,200
beam of bright blue shines out over the different colors

114
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,159
of crystals. The red crystals appear to be linked to

115
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:50,519
something akin to physical force, Spaceship says, possibly increasing your strength.

116
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:54,399
Is it safe to try out? You ask?

117
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,399
Speaker 3: It's as safe.

118
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: As any other thing I've allowed you to do over

119
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,279
these many advents. Spaceship answers. You take a second to

120
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:09,679
think about that. Spaceship's never led you fully astray or

121
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:15,320
anything like that, so it's probably pretty safe. You walk

122
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,879
over to one of the smaller red crystals. It's about

123
00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:23,399
the size of your hand, and it's glowing warmly. You

124
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,080
touch it with one finger and for a second nothing happens.

125
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,080
Then your whole body feels like it's full of thunder.

126
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 3: You say.

127
00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:38,759
Speaker 1: The crystal flashes, and a red glow runs up your

128
00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:45,279
arm and spreads across your entire body. How do you feel,

129
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:53,600
Spaceship asks, I feel strong, You answer to what degree.

130
00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:59,399
You look around and find a boulder sitting between some

131
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:04,799
of the chris one about the size of a small car. Huh,

132
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:11,120
let's find out, you say. You walk over towards the boulder.

133
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,080
You grab it with your hands, which somehow break into

134
00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:19,360
the side of it, as if it's made out of

135
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,639
foam or something. You lift it up so easily that

136
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:30,080
you almost throw it up over your head by accident. Oho,

137
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
you say, trying to get a hold of the boulder

138
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:39,279
up over top of your head. Careful, Spaceship says, make

139
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:46,279
gentle movements. Your muscles are amplifying force approximately forty times

140
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:52,320
the normal amount. You carefully raise the boulder up, getting

141
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:59,320
a balance for it. This is amazing. Then you pull

142
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,519
it back behind you and throw it as hard and

143
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,679
as far as you can. You figure it'll only go

144
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,120
a few feet, but instead it sails across the valley

145
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,000
like a cannon ball, and then smashes into one of

146
00:11:17,039 --> 00:11:22,679
the crystal hills, sending sparkles and well little broken pieces

147
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,159
of crystal everywhere.

148
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:26,759
Speaker 4: Uh.

149
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:35,519
Speaker 1: Oops, You say that was rather destructive, Spaceship says, I

150
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,120
only meant to throw it a few feet. You threw

151
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:44,080
it approximately four hundred feet. Well, I guess I don't

152
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,559
know my own strength yet. Sorry, you'll be more careful.

153
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:54,159
I'm still learning. The red glow slowly fades away from

154
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,960
your body and disappears. At least we know that this

155
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:05,279
crystal is definitely the strength you say, Confirmed, Spaceship says,

156
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:09,639
let's use a higher level of caution next time.

157
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:11,639
Speaker 3: How fine.

158
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: Next you turn over to one of the yellow crystals.

159
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,000
It's tall and thin, with some sort of light racing

160
00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:25,600
inside of it, like little tiny lightning bolts. This field

161
00:12:25,759 --> 00:12:31,799
appears connected to that of motion, speed, reaction, time, that

162
00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:36,440
sort of thing. You reach out and touch the crystal,

163
00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:42,279
and the world suddenly starts to stretch around you. The

164
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:49,000
wind stops, changers, little bird tail stops moving, or just

165
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:55,240
about stops moving. You realize that the world hasn't actually

166
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:02,120
slowed down. You have sped up. You take one step

167
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:08,600
and nearly launch across the field. Your feet blur beneath you.

168
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,600
You run in a circle around Spaceship so fast that

169
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:17,039
well you can only see yourself as a streak reflected

170
00:13:17,039 --> 00:13:25,960
in the silver hall. Careful Spaceship eventually says, very slowly

171
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,919
and deeply.

172
00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:28,039
Speaker 5: You.

173
00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:38,039
Speaker 1: Are moving at you zip up a crystal hill, down

174
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,480
the other side, around a crystal blue lake, past a

175
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,720
row of green crystals, and back again. Before Spaceship can

176
00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:58,480
even finish his sentence, danger iscity, I'm fine, you shout,

177
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,519
but out to Spaceship, your voice only comes out as

178
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,159
a squeaky streak of sound. Changer, looking at all of

179
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,600
the fun you're having, flies down off of the red

180
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,600
crystal and lands on the yellow one. A streak of

181
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,840
yellow power passes through him, and he almost instantly transforms

182
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:24,559
back into a dog and then zips over beside you.

183
00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:28,399
The two of you race around in circles for a

184
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:33,159
few minutes before the yellow glow starts to fade and

185
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,240
you start to go back to normal speed, which feels

186
00:14:39,039 --> 00:14:44,759
incredibly slow now. Next you turn towards a pale blue

187
00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:49,399
crystal that's hovering a few inches above the ground, which

188
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,440
makes you think that it might have some connection to flight.

189
00:14:54,559 --> 00:15:02,080
This one appears connected to gravity, Spaceship says, lift balance,

190
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:08,879
vertical movement a flight crystal. You quickly place your hand

191
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,279
on it, and Changer runs over and does the same.

192
00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:18,960
Blue white energy curls around your body as well as Changers,

193
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,240
and you soon find yourself lifting up off of the

194
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:29,000
ground and floating in place. For a perfect second, you

195
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:34,720
just hover there peacefully. Then with a simple thought, you

196
00:15:34,799 --> 00:15:39,799
shoot upwards. You blast through the air like a rocket,

197
00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:47,399
and Changer chases after you, transforming himself into a long, thin,

198
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:54,120
dragon like creature. The crystal planet drops beneath you as

199
00:15:54,159 --> 00:15:59,399
you bounce around left and right, flying between mountains over

200
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:05,679
top of hills, before eventually slowly running out of power

201
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:13,000
and drifting downwards, falling at a very safe pace towards

202
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,399
the ground. You're thankful that the flight crystal doesn't just

203
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:22,559
sort of immediately run out of energy. The blue streaks

204
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:28,480
of power leave your body and Changer lands beside you.

205
00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:31,080
Then look over to the last crystal that you can

206
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,279
see nearby. It's green with a little bit of brown

207
00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:39,360
on the bottom. Oh, what do you think that one is, spaceship,

208
00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:45,360
you ask, I believe that this power field appears connected

209
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,679
to organic growth. Though on this planet, life and crystal

210
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:57,559
structures seem to be blended together, so like a nature crystal,

211
00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:00,919
it'll give me the power to grow things out of

212
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:06,359
the ground by simply thinking about it. Possibly, there is

213
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,880
only one way to try it out. You place your

214
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,279
hand on the green crystal and warmth spreads through your

215
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:21,920
body as well as a strange green glow. The ground

216
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:27,119
beneath your feet starts to sort of tremble, and a

217
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:33,480
tiny green sprout pushes up through the crystal floor, then another,

218
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:39,160
and then ten more. Crystal grass grows in a circle

219
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:44,480
around you, glowing the same color as an emerald. A

220
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,839
small tree rises from the ground, and a whole bunch

221
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,359
of vines shoot up. You lift your hands up and

222
00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:00,319
well you feel a sort of connection to them again,

223
00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:04,480
to will the trees and vines to grow up and

224
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,400
over and around in any direction you like, and to

225
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,160
your surprise, they follow.

226
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:14,279
Speaker 5: You.

227
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: Focus down on the ground below you, and imagine a

228
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:24,119
tree shooting up beneath you. It starts as a sprout,

229
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:29,880
gets larger and larger, wraps itself around your feet, and

230
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,039
then lifts you up into the air, high above the

231
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:39,119
crystal planet. The tree continues to shoot up and out

232
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:45,839
until all of the crystal is now surrounded by patches

233
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:52,359
of green grass, beautiful large trees, and a whole bunch

234
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:59,200
of vines. Changer swings around beside you, transformed into a

235
00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:03,640
monkey and having the time of his life, swinging from

236
00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:07,279
vine to vine He must have touched one of the

237
00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:10,759
green crystals too, because he has that sort of glow

238
00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:15,880
about him, and because the vines themselves seem to reach

239
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,160
out to grab him just as much as he reaches

240
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,480
out to hold.

241
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 3: On to them.

242
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: Before long, the green glow fades as well, but the

243
00:19:29,079 --> 00:19:33,079
trees and plants you've grown seem to stay where they are.

244
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 3: Cool.

245
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: We can like transform this entire planet if we want to,

246
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:46,920
you say. And then a shadow passes over the crystal valley.

247
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:53,000
You look up and see a dark ship dropping down

248
00:19:53,200 --> 00:20:00,400
through the clouds. It's shaped like a jagged metal t

249
00:20:01,039 --> 00:20:06,400
Rex head. It lands in the front hatch, opens up,

250
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:14,440
a ramp lowers down and down the ramp stomps Rex

251
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:20,559
or a Rex clone, in case you don't know Rex,

252
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:27,359
or well, Rex's clones anyways, are some of your biggest nemeses.

253
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,200
Rex is an evolved t Rex, which means he's smarter

254
00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:37,079
than a normal dinosaur and in fact, smarter than a

255
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,279
normal human. Only this time, instead of wearing his normal

256
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,640
white scientist robes, he's wearing some sort of power armor.

257
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:56,079
Well well, well, Rex says, trying out new powers without

258
00:20:56,759 --> 00:21:04,440
inviting me. You fold your arms, Rex, changer starts to

259
00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:09,839
growl and transforms into a much larger and scarier looking dog.

260
00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:18,160
What are you doing here, you ask? Rex gestures behind him.

261
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:18,279
Speaker 2: Me.

262
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm doing what I always do, bringing you a little

263
00:21:24,839 --> 00:21:30,759
bit of excitement. He gestures behind him, and a dozen

264
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:36,160
robots i'll shaped like t rexes begin to march down

265
00:21:36,279 --> 00:21:43,759
the ramp, Then another dozen, and then several more. Rex,

266
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,920
why did you bring an army.

267
00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 3: Of robots to this peaceful crystal.

268
00:21:47,799 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: Planet, you ask, Well, it could be for science, or

269
00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,759
for adventure, or for a thrilling opportunity. Need to test

270
00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:06,799
your new powers in a dramatic and exciting way. You

271
00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:10,839
stand still for a second. I didn't ask you to

272
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:16,839
do that, though, well you may not have asked, but hm,

273
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:23,039
I think somewhere deep down inside you truly enjoy the excitement.

274
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:30,559
Rex makes a gesture and the robots charged towards you.

275
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:34,279
You leap back as the first one swings a metal fist,

276
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,720
and you instantly place your hand on one of the

277
00:22:39,279 --> 00:22:46,160
red crystals. A strange red glow, accompanied by an incredible

278
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:51,640
feeling of strength, blasts through your body. A robot grabs

279
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:57,160
for your arm, but you grab its arm instead. You

280
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,000
spin and throw it at two of the other They

281
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:06,240
crash together in a shower of sparks. Another robot fires

282
00:23:06,279 --> 00:23:09,400
a net. You grab a chunk of crystal from the

283
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,039
ground and throw it towards the approaching net as hard

284
00:23:14,079 --> 00:23:18,079
as you can. The crystal sends the net flying in

285
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,640
the opposite direction and straight into the robot who shot

286
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,240
the thing at you. It causes the robot to almost

287
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,079
immediately explode in a shower of little metal bits and

288
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:38,000
well sparks, which is honestly pretty satisfying. You hear Rex

289
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:45,440
clapping in the background. Excellent, very entertaining. This is not

290
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:50,240
for your entertainment, you yell back, then, why is it

291
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:57,599
so entertaining? The red glow fades just as flying robots

292
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:03,960
roar overhead to one of the light blue crystals. Energy

293
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,240
passes through your body and lifts you up into the air.

294
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,039
You shoot upwards, this time with a little more control

295
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,640
than you add the first time you tried flying. The

296
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,559
flying robots turned towards you with their wings buzzing. One

297
00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:27,440
fires a blast, but you simply roll sideways. Another dives

298
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,279
towards you, and you just flip over it and kick

299
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,640
it down towards the ground. You stretch your arms and

300
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:42,759
fly faster, weaving between robots and well skillfully causing them

301
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,440
to bump into one another. You move out of the

302
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,480
way at the last second, forcing two of them to

303
00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:54,240
collide and explode in a whole bunch of metal pieces

304
00:24:54,279 --> 00:24:59,880
and sparks. Once again, you lure another to follow behind you,

305
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:04,480
and then turn upward at the last second before crashing

306
00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:09,680
into a crystal mountain. The robots, luckily, are not as

307
00:25:09,799 --> 00:25:14,400
quick to change directions. The result is an explosion of

308
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:20,240
crystal as the robot blasts into the thing. One by one,

309
00:25:20,759 --> 00:25:25,720
You out maneuver the flight robots until they're pretty much

310
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:31,480
just a giant pile of broken robot bits on the ground. Uh,

311
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,440
your robots aren't very good at corners, you call out

312
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:42,160
to Rex. Perhaps not, Let's see how you deal with

313
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:49,519
these ones. More robots start to march out of Rex's spaceship,

314
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,640
only these ones are huge. Four of them start to

315
00:25:55,759 --> 00:26:02,079
march straight towards spaceship, each one care a glowing drill

316
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:07,480
of some kind. Oh no, you don't, you say. You

317
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,079
land near one of the yellow crystals and place your

318
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:15,599
hand on it. Speed in a strange yellow glow pass

319
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:16,839
throughout your body.

320
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,519
Speaker 3: The world slows again.

321
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: The drill robots stomp forward like they're moving at super

322
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,200
slow speed.

323
00:26:28,079 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: You race around them and.

324
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: Begin yanking wires out, unplugging anything you can find, and

325
00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:41,960
breaking apart anything that looks particularly breakable. You find that

326
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:47,640
moving at this speed makes everything rather breakable. As you

327
00:26:47,759 --> 00:26:52,400
allow time to catch up, all four robots take one

328
00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:58,200
more step before immediately falling over and exploding. That was

329
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:05,079
very efficient, spaceship says. You give a little bow. You

330
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,440
hear a strange booming noise and look up to see

331
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,960
a huge net being fired from Rex's ship. It spreads

332
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:20,759
across the sky and begins to crackle with electricity. You

333
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,359
try to dodge, but the nets too wide and the

334
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:29,960
speed power drains out of your body. You see a

335
00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:33,960
green crystal next to you, so you reach out and

336
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,559
touch it. The powers of the crystal pass through your body,

337
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,119
and you use your mind to reach out towards the

338
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:50,039
planet once again. A forest answers. Crystal vines burst from

339
00:27:50,079 --> 00:27:53,680
the ground and shoot upward. They catch the net before

340
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,680
it lands and wrap around it, pulling it tight and

341
00:27:58,759 --> 00:28:04,359
dragging it away from you. More vine surge across the battlefield,

342
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,359
curling around the legs and arms and wheels and weapons

343
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:15,119
of the remaining robots, before tightening and crushing them into pieces.

344
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,839
With the last of the robots defeated, you turn back

345
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:26,920
towards Rex. Well, I guess that's it for your robots.

346
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,960
Any more surprises you'd like to share with me?

347
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 3: You ask.

348
00:28:33,759 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: Rex reaches behind his back. Well, there is one, you see.

349
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,880
I have been exploring the crystal planet longer than you have,

350
00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:51,319
and as much as it was a blast to have superpower,

351
00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:58,960
super strength, super speed and flight, of course I happened

352
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,400
to cross an other kind of crystal. Rex holds a

353
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:09,839
glowing purple crystal in front of himself. The purple power

354
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,920
spreads through his body.

355
00:29:12,319 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: And then a blast.

356
00:29:14,359 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: Of strange purple energy shoots from his body towards you.

357
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:28,079
Your body suddenly starts to feel very tired. Some sort

358
00:29:28,119 --> 00:29:32,720
of psychic message passes through your mind and tells you

359
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:39,920
that it's time to sleep. It becomes harder and harder

360
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:45,559
to hold your eyes open, and eventually there's nothing you

361
00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:50,599
can do about it. Your eyes close, You fall to

362
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:58,759
the ground and begin to snore. Before long, still feeling

363
00:29:58,799 --> 00:30:06,319
pretty groggy, your eyes slowly open again. You look across

364
00:30:06,359 --> 00:30:09,960
from you, and you see Changer lifting his head up

365
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,039
off of the ground as well, and Spaceship sitting there

366
00:30:14,039 --> 00:30:20,279
in the distance. Good, you are finally awake. Spaceship says,

367
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:22,960
what happened?

368
00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: You ask?

369
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,599
Speaker 1: It would seem that Rex used some sort of psychic

370
00:30:28,759 --> 00:30:33,279
power from the purple crystal he discovered and caused you

371
00:30:33,519 --> 00:30:38,920
to fall asleep. Luckily, he only used the time to

372
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,359
get away once again. Why didn't you stop him?

373
00:30:43,839 --> 00:30:44,319
Speaker 3: You ask?

374
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: The purple crystal seemed to have some sort of effect

375
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:54,160
on me as well. I was unable to respond for

376
00:30:54,279 --> 00:30:58,440
a short period of time. Since then, I have been

377
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:06,480
monitoring you, Changers to ensure your vital signs stayed stable. Ugh, thanks,

378
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:11,079
I guess. You pick yourself up off of the ground,

379
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,880
still feeling incredibly tired, and you walk over towards the ship,

380
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:23,200
up the ramp and straight down onto the couch. Changer

381
00:31:23,359 --> 00:31:28,720
curls up on the ground beside you, and you close

382
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:32,160
your eyes as you hear the ship lift up off

383
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:39,240
of the ground. Whatever that purple well psychic crystal was,

384
00:31:40,279 --> 00:31:46,960
it's left you feeling very very sleepy. You will allow

385
00:31:47,079 --> 00:31:52,000
your eyes to close and you simply focus on your breath,

386
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:59,920
noticing your stomach rising and falling as your mind slow

387
00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:05,920
these starts to drift off to a nice deep sleep

388
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:13,559
once again, and your mind ventures off to thoughts of

389
00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:21,720
new dreams, new adventures, and new power crystals to come.

390
00:32:23,480 --> 00:33:54,200
Good night, everyone, never.

391
00:34:41,679 --> 00:43:08,199
Speaker 4: Union name in New York, Union.

392
00:43:03,800 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 5: No, no thing, no more. Never mo.

393
00:45:23,199 --> 00:46:40,079
Speaker 1: M M.

394
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:01,800
