“Time Travelling Misadventures”
A parody by John Edward Selma
After we departed from
my hometown Rick’s machine began to travel to our destination, old – timey
Denmark were the story of Beowulf came from for my homework.
“Alright Patricia, so
you better stay behave while we are time travelling because anything at crucial
moments in history can alternate the timeline and change the history forever
okay?” Rick said. “Alright Mr. Smith but can I play around a bit because you
said that you and Beo are friends.” Patricia replied. Then Rick said, “Yes it’s
true, but right now he could be doing something that can disrupt the time and
harm us.”
But when Rick was
continuing his explanation, Morty stopped him and asked him, “Uhh Rick?” “Yes
Morty?” Rick replied. “When was the last time you refueled the machine?” He
asked. “Well it was after we tested it which was a week ago.” Rick answered.
“Why?”
“It’s because we ran
out of fuel already.” Morty said. “Well we’ll just directly land on a timeline
that we can land with the fuel we have left.” Rick replied.
On his command, Morty
carefully landed in the unknown timeline but crashed after Rick clumsily turned
off the landing gear button right after Morty just pressed it. They survived
the crashed and only the frontal part of the machine was heavily damaged.
The three got out and
Patricia was pointed out at Rick that he was the one that caused the crash.
That’s when Morty stops the quarrel and said that they are in now the land of
old Denmark, that’s when the story of Beowulf occurred. Patricia jumped for joy
and Rick sighed in relief as they were in the right destination. But the only
problem now is that where to find the fuel for the time machine. The three
ventured out to a nearby kingdom to look for a resource that can be used as
fuel and by coincidence, they saw Beowulf and his band of soldiers following
him. Rick and Beo both greet each other and Rick introduced him to Patricia and
Morty.
“So now that we are
here, can we stay with him for a while Rick please?” Patricia asked as Rick
answered, “Alright fine Patricia.”
Beowulf laughed as he
ordered his men to armed the three with weapons but when one of them tried
giving them to Rick when he stop and said, “ Don’t worry, I have my array of
weapons.”
Then Beowulf explained,
“Alright lads, were here to kill Grendel, the monster that’s been waging war
with King Hrothgar, so we’ll just stay overnight at Heorot, the grand hall, and
take him down once and for all!” His men cheered as they settled for the night
at Heorot.
At midnight
as planned, Grendel burst through the doors and attacked. He devoured one of
Beowulf’s soldier but when Grendel decided to go for Beo, He was just
pretending to sleep and jump on him and attack him as they wrestle. The trio
watched as Beowulf caught Grendel in a death grip. Up to the point at by using
his bare hands, He tore off one of his arms. Beowulf let go of Grendel as the
one – armed monster fled back to the sea to die. Patricia watch in awe as she
saw Beo standing in the horizon of a new day. Victory to the Danes.
But when night falls
at the Heorot, the king held a feast in honor Beowulf’s bravery as the trio
chatted with him until another monster came in. it was Grendel’s mother, she’s
hideous as her son as she attacked the Danes for revenge after Beo killed her
son. After the attacked happened, it was a disaster as Beowulf is now
determined to hunt Grendel’s mother.
When the time has
come, Beo set out to the trail the
monster had left before. As he was about to go, Rick go to him and says, “Hey
Beo, let me give you something to help kill the monster.”
But seeing that he did
not give anything to him at that time so he asked, “Well, where is it?” Then
Rick explained, “Well it will only show up when you most needed it, trust me.”
Beo then replied, “Okay I will trust but just because I trusted you okay?” Rick
nodded as they waved goodbye to the trio.
Then Patricia, wondering
what that “thing” was, asked Rick and he replied, “Oh, you’ll see. Come on!” as
he throw a disk on the ground and expanded and a floating platform. She and
Morty was surprised as they hop on the platform as the trio traveled to where
Beowulf’s location and also, they were invisible as well thanks to the
platform.
As they reached to
where Beo was, he was in the middle of a battle with the monster until he was
almost defeated and just that point he saw something shiny in the ground. So He
urgently pick it up and just as he wields it, a blue streaking light appeared.
“It’s a lightsaber!!”
Patricia exclaimed as Grendel’s mother charged at him as Beo instinctively
slashed his saber and destroyed the monster.
After the battle,
Beowulf was surprised when the trio appeared out of nowhere and Rick explained
everything. Morty then gathered the remaining blood the monster and tested it
and confirms that the blood form the two monsters can be used as fuel. Both
Rick and Patricia are relived in joy as they know that there is alternative
fuel in this world. The four of them later founded Grendel’s corpse in a cave
and Beo slashed it opened, so that Morty can gather enough to refuel the
machine.
When they got to the
kingdom, he was celebrated as a hero of the Danes and after that, he ordered
his men to fix the machine and the trio were ready to go.
“But what about this
surprised weapon of yours?” Beowulf asked. “Oh, you can keep it from me to
you.” Rick replied.
They both waved
goodbye and the machine blew off. Then Morty asked, “Wait Rick, won’t change
the history a bit just because you gave him the lightsaber?!?” “Don’t’ worry
about it Morty, Now let’s check the timeline.”
As they read the
ending of Beowulf, it says that Beowulf died clumsily as he was carrying his
“magic” sword.
“Ooppss.” Rick
exclaimed.
On his command, Morty
carefully landed in the unknown timeline but crashed after Rick clumsily turned
off the landing gear button right after Morty just pressed it. They survived
the crashed and only the frontal part of the machine was heavily damaged.
At midnight
as planned, Grendel burst through the doors and attacked. He devoured one of
