by Starwynd the Trivia Lad and The Time Trust
Ancient Greece, circa 1200 B.C.:
Time Trustee Tempus and Starwynd, the former Dynamiteens, looked like they were a bit scared by the huge god. Zeus was about to throw one of his thunderbolts at the two heroes, when suddenly the god stopped and smiled in a strange way.
"You two... You remind me of my little friend Ganymede..."
Tempus and Starwynd both sighed in relief.
Then another tall figure appeared. It was Hera, wife of Zeus. "Enough with your little friends! It's time to come back home to do your duty, old son of a goat!"
And then, the two giants faded into nothing.
Tempus and Starwynd cried out, "Yeeeaaaaahhhhh!" And they gave each other high-fives.
Starwynd: "Okay, now we take the lass, come back to 2000 somewhere in Asia or Africa, fly over the place where should be Europe, drop the girl, and everything should turn normal. Okay?"
"Yes, okay..." said Tempus, thinking to himself, No way! This girl will become my sixteenth wife.
Starwynd: "Okay, grab the girl and do your job!"
Tempus, also known as Timothy Trystan, having decided to stay in Ancient Greece for a honeymoon with his sixteenth wife, Europa, sent Starwynd into a timeless void in which no time passes, so as to preserve his youth.
Tempus: "Oh baby, I've never known marriage could be this good..."
Europa: "Compared to you, Zeus is a mere stripling."
Tempus: "Whisper sweet nothings in my ear..."
Europa: "So what was all that talk about a continent missing?"
Tempus: "Oh, nothing. Sometime in the future we have to bring you back to the year 2000 and drop you into the big void where Europe used to be... Come here, hon..."
Europa: "WHAT? You're going to DROP ME into a big VOID? Are you NUTS?"
Tempus: "What? Europa, honey..."
Europa: "Don't HONEY me, Tim! I'm leaving you to go and marry King Asterius, of Crete. I'll bet HE knows how to treat a woman!"
Tempus watched her angrily strut off. "Oh, darn."
Opening up the time void, Tempus retrieved Starwynd, who, although five years had passed, had only been in the void for thirty seconds.
Starwynd: "So, where's Europa?"
Tempus: "I lost her. I wonder if Medusa Lass is still single..."
Starwynd: "Well, how are we going to save Europe?"
Tempus: "How did Europe go missing in the first place? I'd better scan the timeline for the answer..."
Starwynd: "Yeah, and you should do it very fast."
Tempus: "But the superfast reading power is your ability!"
Starwynd: "Uhh... Let's get to work!"
