Ben is still at a loss. Where could Elise be? Her amulet states that she is in Balmain but not this time or maybe she is in another time, year?
So, Ben immediately checked his time barometer and a dash board that calculates where a person is at the moment. He called it Grid of the Person Somewhere (GPS). He just called it Grid, but it is a useful contrapment because he was able to track Elise and another girl she is with now. Using the electric current from a kite which he flew a couple of months ago and is still on top of the tallest church in Tinsel called St. Petersburg Church. It was named after St. Peter who said to have stayed in Tinsel for a couple of days to be able to board a donkey, which was now replaced by a wooden train when he preached in Petersburg, Rome.
Okay!, here we go!!! C'mon! Work…one…two…., the current lighted and screeched through the line on top of Ark's home to the kite. Ben's time machine ball gave out energy and it is now purple, pink, and yellow. The lights are so beautiful that it appeared luminous, floating and a little elevated from the ground. Ben opened the tiny door and walked in the ball. He touched the magnetic field that surrounds the ball from the inside and out. It is like hanging on something but no one or nothing is holding it upwards but gravity against the magnets around the machine.
My God, let me find my Elise, please!, Ben thought in prayer and ticked the button, thus, made the ball's magnetic field go round and round until the ball time machine disappeared into thin air. Pop!!!Flopp!!!!!
Ben thought he'd already be in Balmain, but his time machine rotated through vast space, universes and planets. He was able to see stars, meteors, the sun and moon, the planets again and again and into the black space again until he reached an end. He woke up and found himself somewhere. Ben checked on the glass frame in front of the ball machine, then saw trees, ocean, oh!!!, what the ...!
Ben couldn't believe his eyes, that he is standing in a huge body of blue and light blue waters. Hmm….people are swimming and he saw boats here and there….One kid knocked on the machine's door but he didn't want to scare him so he ticked on the button to go back in time. His beard is longer and he looked older, like seventy and up. Oh, Lord, I hope this is the correct time! Mother of God, have mercy!, Ben added and saw the planets, universes and vast spaces again and again until the ball stopped suddenly. Ben kept on ticking the button and tried to tick other buttons on the dash board but it seems that the machine isn't working. He is desperate and couldn't find anyone to help him. Until a man on space suit came and knocked on his time machine door. He motioned to open the door but Ben is afraid because he is from the past and her knows that the man who is trying to help him now is from the future.
Ben looked like an elderly man who is about eighty years old. So he just gave the man in the suit a shy smile, in which the other man signaled using his thumb. Ben looked at his thumb and copied the man in the suit. Then, the Ball Time Machine powered up. Ben didn't know that the man in the space suit is someone he helped a long time ago. This man in the suit is the great, great, great grand son of his old friend Mario, Ben's next door neighbor and Manhattan's father. Ben didn't know that his inventions made a mark in the world and are a breakthrough in science in the future world. The man in the suit placed a hose and gave the Ball Machine a boost on fire power and energy from their solar powered spaceship, where it came from the Virgin Rocket launched a couple of weeks ago.
