Express to the future
It was a peaceful night at Springfield well besides the whole zombies groaning from the graveyard. The occasional Drunk that stumbled out of Moe's tavern. So in Springfield standards a pretty normal night however, if one anyone was paying attention to the night sky, they would see something burning coming down. It's not a meteor. It's too small but too large to be random piece of defunct satellite.
The object was heading down straight at Springfield well close to it, but still near the general vicinity of Springfield. The object was burning, hot and moving fast. But luckily, or as if the object moved itself, crashed far away into the woods of Springfield, creating a gigantic, booming noise sounding like a bomb.
The area in that woods of the Springfield was completely wrecked trees, uprooted and broken small fires all around it. One would think an explosion took place. I mean it's Springfield so wouldn't be too far to think someone was messing with explosives, but it was not.
As soon as the flames subsided around the object that crashed down, it looked very strange one would to call it a spaceship. Its hull dented the green paint painted on the ship was scratched off in multiple places mostly on the main . The fin on top of the ship was pretty damaged sitting awkwardly at an angle. The nose of the ship was completely crumpled, but the glass covering of the ship front was completely fine.
Then suddenly the bottom of the ship begin to open with a slow groaning noise. the dears and other machinery sputtering as the bottom of the ship open, revealing a flight of stairs to exit out of the ship. The lights on it, flickering with the hue of the flames lighting up the darkness from the stairs.
A lone figure begins to descend the fly of stairs. They are wearing a red space suit it doesn't look like one that an astronaut would use. It looked slimmer like from those Sc-Fi shows it had a belt with an odd symbol on the middle of the space suit. The symbol look like a green space ship flying on a red background. The helmet they were wearing was completely shaded not revealing their face
The figure had an odd weapon in their hand. a child would be probably playing with it. It looked like a toy ray gun that looks like it should belong in a toy store or an old timey sci-fi show. The figure hold the ray gun out and begin scanning the area around them trying to see if there's any hostiles near them. They turn around quickly when they hear a whiny voice behind them.
"Leela, I thought we were back to the future but why are we still in the past?"
The woman identified as Leela looks annoyed at her companion. Then other figures begin walking down from the staircase of the ship an bald old man wearing a scientist, lab coat and Coke bottle glasses with a crab man with claws for hands wearing what would one assume to be a doctors outfit who has pink tentacles near his mouth and face acting like a beard. she looked at the young man and says while her companions come closer
" I don't know Fry I thought the satellite dish we stole from Roswell from the 40s would help us to go back to our timeline Professor Farnsworth what's going on?"
the old man now identified as professor Farnsworth then crosses his arm, looking at Leela. he looks around confused, but then the crab man by his side pipes up his voice, a little nasally to be honest. Which each person gives a annoyed look to at the crab man.
"Uh friends I would like to say thank you again from rescuing me from that area 51 place. it was terrible. They only had one egg truly it was the worst hotels I ever visited"
Professor Farnsworth looks at the Crab looking a little bit annoyed at him. It's hard to tell with his coke bottle glasses completely covers eyes. It doesn't show them at all. But it doesn't stop him from giving an annoyed look at him.
"Well Zoidberg we wouldn't have to steal the satellite from Roswell in 1947 due to someone namely fry, putting a piece of metal in the microwave while observing a supernova explosion."
The young man now identified as fry just looks a bit shepish at that comment from Professor Farnsworth and tugs his shirt collar a bit. Which he then looks at his companions while running his hand through his orange hair
" And I said I was sorry all right. Can we please talk about what happened in the past? Literally I really want to forget what happened there."
Fry says quite defensively while having a haunted look on his face. Meanwhile, with professor Farnsworth, he pulled out a odd device which begins scanning some soil he grabbed from the ground at which he let out a surprise gasp
" My God!"
He exclaimed in shock. Which Leela and Fry and the crab man looks at professor with concerned at his reaction of the I've seen what the device showed him.
" professor what's wrong?"
Leela asked at the professors reaction, wondering what has caused him to make him exclaim, that in surprised. Well, the crab
man puts his claw on the professor shoulder and says
" Yes professor can you tell me what's troubling you? Maybe me Dr. Zoidberg can help in this predicament. Did you forget your pills?"
The professor looks annoyed at Dr. Zoidberg and just shoves his cloud handoff from his shoulder and exclaims a bit rudely to him. Looking a bit annoyed at the gesture of Dr. Zoidberg
" Get your claws off me you seater simpleton. The reason I exclaimed that is because we're not our time we're in the year 2007."
Lela gave a, flat and unimpressed look at the professor and then replied a bit annoyed to him. While he continues the scan the soil. Looking more and more concerned at each result, he gets from the machine in his hand
" we know we aren't in the future because there wasn't any space traffic or any signal for our ship to help fly down here I thought we were supposed to go back."
The professor looks up, looking a bit annoyed, and then proceeded to huff a bit, and look back at Lela and then says to her within annoyed tone in his voice. His eyebrows furrowed at Lela.
" I know we aren't in the right timeline, but we aren't even in the right universe."
Fry,Lela and Dr. Zoidberg all gasp at that decoration of the professor. Each one looking incredibly shocked at what he has told them. Fry speaks up and says to the professor.
" but professor, how can you tell this isn't our universe?"
The professor then flipped around the device showing molecules on it with one saying soil, composition, and normal soil composition. He then spoke gravely."
" Because my molecule scanner is showing that the soil on earth is completely different from the molecules back home. True you might be wondering if it's the past and that's why it's different but that's not it. Somehow, the very atomic structure of everything is different."
" But Professor how does us time traveling to our future somehow got us into another universe?" Lela ask her borew at the professor with a look of complete confusion at which the professor presses a button on the device he used to scan the area around them, revealing chart
" Somehow in this universe, something happened so exponentially with its time space continuum that completely weaken the walls of this universe, letting us who we were time traveling in time to breakthrough to this universe due to the walls, being weakened." The professor gestures as he uses his finger to mark on the holographic chart.
" So why don't we just do the same thing and get back to our universe if the space timey continuum is weak enough for us to go back." Fry ask Looking a bit concerned at which the professor whack fry over the head with his hand, which fry lets out an ow as a response
" Good idea fry, if you want us to get killed, that is!" The professor angrily said at Fry, looking a bit, disappointed at his past relative and then presses another button on the device showing a small animation of the ship exploding.
" we can't whatever is happening in this space continuum makes time travel impossible for us to get back home. if we even try to do it if the ship was able to fly again, we would cause a paradox so massive that we would cease to exist! Or worse become Republicans." The professor Grimley explained.
The others give another shocked gasp at at what the professor has just said to them. Looking incredibly very worried at what the professor has just said which then fry then exclaim in shock.
" wait a minute if we're not even our universe and can't get back what about bender?! He was only a head when we left him who's going to help them now because everyone else are planet express doesn't know where he is!"
The professor then waves his hand get over it gesture and begins, rubbing his hand over his bald head and says to fry. His tone very gravely.
" Fry, I think Bender would be fine for a while, but we're the ones in trouble. We don't even know where we are. We don't even know if the populous are cannibalistic."
The professor says to fry. At which Lela then says to Professor Farnsworth with her arms crossed. Her tone slightly grim, but determine.
" So Professor what should we do then?"
Lela ask the professor. He looks back at the ship and then back to the other members of planet express. He takes a deep huff of air and then looks at them and says.
" first we need the hide our ship. Then we need to find a place of residence and try to fix the ship up and then try to return back home to our universe and the right timeline. I hope this universe has materials. I can work with to let us be able to get back home."
The each member a nod and begin to move out of the forest and they soon come up a sign, saying "
Welcome to Springfield" they look outward to the town and then back at the ship before sitting off to find a way to go back home
