An Abrupt End

The results happened to be that both formulas turned yellow and started swirling. He ran as fast as he could down one of the corridors and came up in a fenced off area in Pole City. He quickly closed the trap door so no one would find out and ran into the front of the Pole Scraper. He ran all the way up to the top room where the Time Traveler was and said that now that he was good, he was going to ask the Time Traveler to do a favor for him, since they were both on the good side.

After zooming around the whole of Solariun, Barron Freeze returned to his castle and lifted up the carpet in the main hall, opened up a secret trap door and went down, down, down for about three miles. He went into an extremely large cave with tunnels that went all over Solariun. It was a secret laboratory. On one side of the room he had a sizzling, bubbling red formula. On the other side of the room he had a blue formula and the liquid wasn’t moving at all, as if it was frozen. After taking a few drops of a green formula and putting it in the red formula, and taking a few more drops of green formula and putting it in the blue formula, and watching the results, he went back up.

The results happened to be that both formulas turned yellow and started swirling. He ran as fast as he could down one of the corridors and came up in a fenced off area in Pole City. He quickly closed the trap door so no one would find out and ran into the front of the Pole Scraper. He ran all the way up to the top room where the Time Traveler was and said that now that he was good, he was going to ask the Time Traveler to do a favor for him, since they were both on the good side.

The Time Traveler agreed and he brought him across the path into his mansion. They went up to the highest room where Barron Freeze had put the green formula and showed the green formula to the Time Traveler. The Time Traveler identified it for him and Barron Freeze thought, “good, now that I know what this is, and I know its chemical reaction to boryginethess and pusakafloride I will be able to figure out how to make the most powerful cold formula ever, and with Barron Sol’s strange chemical I will be able to make the most powerful heat formula ever, and with my modified green formula I will be able to make the weather so plain that everyone in Solariun will get so bored they will have to ask me for all their weather. And that’s not even my master plan.”

He showed the Time Traveler the red and blue formulas and then the Time Traveler took a small drop of the red formula and a small drop of the blue formula and put them into a container along with the green formula and they swirled at amazing speeds, changing colors from yellow to red to blue as they swirled. They both looked out the window as the Time Traveler poured it onto the water.

As it hit the water, the water immediately froze into ice so cold, if you touched it you would immediately get burned and be frozen to it forever. Barron Freeze laughed inside his head. Then, the Time Traveler demonstrated a few drops of the green formula into the blue formula which a swirling yellow potion, experienced earlier by Barron Freeze. He poured it on the ice down below and the ice immediately melted and evaporated so fast it left a hole in the water where there was no water at all, but it had also formed a thin layer of ice on top because it wasn’t quite cold enough to melt the extremely strong ice and the water vapor was pushing outward, so it left a column of ice and gas undisturbed by the water.

Barron Freeze thought, “perfect. I can create an amazingly strong blizzard with this by using a bit of blue, a bit of green, a bit of red mixed together and then mixing that with a few drops of green and the blue formula stirred together. It will be my ultimate blizzard formula.”

The Time Traveler then demonstrated the other swirling yellow formula, the one Barron Freeze got earlier when he mixed the green with the red. He poured it on the water and the most amazing thing happened. All of the water and the ice and gas merged to form a liquid that was as cold as the ultimate dry ice and yet at the same time was near the same consistency as a gas but could be poured as a liquid and was also stinging hot in certain splotchy red areas.

Then the Time Traveler made ice on the floor with the ice formula, then used the merging formula on the floor and bits of the floor swirled up along with the ice and formed something that was hard as rock but if you touched it you would burn and freeze to it. You couldn’t break it unless you used a sledge hammer, but you could use a little rock and tap it on the super cold ice and make it break. It was so this had the burning cold amazingly cold temperature of the ice and was as hard as the rock floor.

Barron Freeze got lost in thought about how many different things he could merge. He had recently developed a life-giving formula so he could bring any of those things to life as a super-monstrosity. Barron Freeze brought out his life-giving formula and told the Time Traveler to use in on the swirling ball of water, gas and ice that was floating above the window. The Time Traveler doused it with life-giving formula and it turned into a creature, a segmented snake-like creature. One area was extremely hot, which was the area with the gas- another area was room temperature, which was the area with normal water, and the head and neck were as cold as the ultimate dry ice.

The quickly used a death-giving formula on it and it turned back into a strange ball. They put the strange substance in a temperature-proof vial as Barron Freeze thought of a strange new idea. If he could use his formulas to make gaseous, liquid and solid forms, why couldn’t he mix them in some way and make plasma? Plasma, as some people probably know, is the fourth form of matter, which you get when you super-heat gas.

Barron Freeze told the Time Traveler this idea, knowing that the Time Traveler had no clue that even though he was the most clever being in the universe, he was being tricked by Barron Freeze into making him the ultimate temperature formula. The Time Traveler made more of the red formula, except this time it was pale purple, mixed it in with the red, and it turned into a bright neon green, not like the dull, bubbling forest-green liquid that our hero had used to make the evil formulas.

He used exactly one teaspoon of the forest green liquid into the neon green, making it turn black. He slammed a cork in as far as it would go, shook it up as much as he could, and then put it up in an ultrasonic vibrator that was up in an amazing lab. It turned blacker- so black it could have been a black hole. They shone a light on it, but the light didn’t show up. They looked at it from a sideways view and saw the light was disappearing a half-centimeter away from the vial.

The Time Traveler said, “Me no think this is what it’s supposed to do.”

They experimented with it. They took a small drop and dropped it onto the temperature ball. The temperature ball swirled up into a long thin, spaghettified version of itself and swirled into the drop, making it a bit bigger and a bit blacker. They quickly put it back in the vial before it could suck up anything else and Barron Freeze realized he had now discovered a black hole formula. The Time Traveler realized it too and then thought about what would happen if he put it back in the ultrasonic vibrator. It would become an even more powerful black hole.

The Time Traveler left, surprising Barron Freeze, but the Time Traveler had also dropped something into the ultrasonic vibrator. Barron Freeze knew exactly what it was, but hoped the Time Traveler didn’t. When the Time Traveler was out of earshot, he turned back on the ultrasonic vibrator and the soft humming began as the formula turned blacker than you could ever imagine black could be. It was blacker than pitch black. It was so black, if you put tar over your eyes and closed your eyes while wearing six-inch-thick sunglasses, that would be standing on the sun compared to how black this formula was now. It was the ultimate black hole formula.

Back in his own lab, the Time Traveler, with Dr. Frankinsteen’s help of course, was trying to make a white hole formula and get the temperature elements back out. They mixed and stirred until they came up with a very white formula. They put it in their own ultrasonic vibrator and it turned whiter and whiter and whiter than you could imagine. It was as if you were looking straight at the whitest piece of paper you had ever seen crossed with one of those white school buses, crossed with all sorts of different white stuff crossed with a white dwarf was almost pitch black compared with how white this thing was.

They uncorked it and out spiraled the temperature thing. Unfortunately for them, Barron Freeze was peering through the window to make sure they didn’t discover something like this and he splashed his super-heater on it and it immediately evaporated, turning into a gaseous form of different spaghettified things.

Now let’s get back to Barron Freeze. Back in his secret underground laboratory, he was pouring all his different formulas into his black hole formula and then vibrating it, making it blacker and blacker, bigger and bigger. He finally had a huge pot of black stuff so black you couldn’t even begin to imagine how black that stuff really was. It was blacker than a black hole by now, it was blacker than all the black holes in universe by now. It was so black, and it was swirling and bubbling and spaghettified stalagtites were coming down from the ceiling.

He quickly put the cork on and vibrated it. He slammed the cork in as much as he could because it was trying to spaghettify the cork itself and the walls of its pot. Barron Freeze had developed a way to keep it under control, by pouring the white hole serum and putting it in an airtight vial and then throwing it as hard as he could at the big pot where the black hole serum was. Some if seeped through the molecular structure of the pot and it was just enough to keep the black hole serum from collapsing and turning into the plasma serum he had eventually wanted.

He drank some of the white hole serum, which tasted a lot like grape juice, to make himself immune.
