Marvin did not feel well as he stepped down from the time travel capsule. There was something wrong with his vision. Everyone was naked for one thing and there were too many colors. The woman bent over to pick up a dropped paper was a royal blue for god's sakes. Even her asshole and pussy were blue.
The man standing next to her was sea green. The young lady answering the phone was a beautiful teal blue. Marvin rubbed his eyes but it did not help. He shook his head but that just made him dizzy.
He leaned over, looked at the bank of clocks on the far wall of the time capsule, and realized his mistake. It read 2225 not the 2025 that he had intended. He had gone two hundred years farther than he had ever meant to go. Thirty years was one thing but two hundred and thirty was something else altogether.
Thirty years would have put him beyond all statues of limitations and made him a free man. Two hundred and thirty years was a nightmare with no way back. Time travel was a one shot, one-way deal.
"May I help you sir?" A soft female voice asked from his left.
He turned toward the voice and was eyeball to tits with a very tall beautiful rose red woman. "I.... Uh... I," he stammered as his eyes feasted on the delicate rose shades of her perky little breasts.
"Who are you?" The sea green man asked. "And what the heck is that thing doing in my office?"
"A better question is how did he get that thing in here." The royal blue lady said.
Marvin had hoped to slip away quietly once he had negotiated time but it was not working out that way. His clothes were a dead give away, as was his natural skin color. What should he do now, he wondered as he realized that everyone was staring at him.
"Why is he that color and why is he wearing clothes in public?" Someone else asked.
"Pervert!" Someone yelled from the back of the growing crowd.
"Hey now, there is no call for that," Marvin said as he backed up to the door of the time capsule. "I'm kind of new around here and I don't know the customs."
"How odd," the rose colored lady said.
"Isn't it just?" The blue lady agreed.
"Someone call the protectors," the green man said loudly.
"Protectors? Who are the protectors?" Marvin asked even though he figured they were the cops of this time and place.
"They are the ones that protect and serve of course." The rose lady told him with a confused look on her face. "Everyone knows that."
"Yeah, right. Only I know them by another name." Marvin replied as he turned and picked up his set of semi-automatic pistols.
If he was going to have a run in with the cops, he was going to be prepared. He slipped a gun in each side of the waistband of his trousers and pulled his coat closed over them. Naked cops should not be much of a problem, he thought with a wolfish grin.
"Is there a problem here?" A deep voice asked from the far end of the room.
Marvin turned still grinning. His eyes searched the far end of the room for a second and then the grin disappeared as his mouth dropped open. What the fuck, was all his mind could say, as he took in the metal giant looming over everyone.
"Yes! We have a strange person here that doesn't belong," the sea green man said as the protector advanced.
"Please clear the room, danger is imminent!" The metal monster said as Marvin grabbed the rose colored lady and held her nude body in front of him.
Marvin had not drawn either of his guns yet; he was waiting to see what the robot would do next. He did not like violence, especially violence involving women but he did not seem to have any choice.
The protector held his ground until the room cleared. Once the last person was out of sight he seemed to slump a bit. Marvin was studying the machine trying to see if any weapons were evident. He could distinguish none.
Time seemed to drag by. Ten minutes and then twenty went by with nothing from the protector. Marvin was worried about more of them arriving. Something had to give here. He needed to get clear of this machine and this building.
He had to make an escape. He had not come all this way or rather across this much time to be back where he had been in the first place. The burglary of the science building had been stupid but at the same time, it would have been very fruitful if he had pulled it off.
Someone had left a personal alarm in the main lab that was not connected to the main alarm. He had set the thing off without knowing it. The cops had surrounded him until he found the time capsule.
He had seen some video of the thing on the news. He stalled the cops with several well-placed shots and a threat to burn the lab down while he tried to figure out how to make it work. Powering it up was the hardest part.
After that, he had just set the clocks and pushed the start button. The clocks were his downfall. There were four of them and he had made a mistake. Now he was right back where he started, in trouble with the law.
Marvin eased to his right pulling the hapless woman along in front of him toward an open glass door. He had only made a step or two when the door closed and he heard the snick of a lock. He looked around recklessly. There were no other doors except the one behind the protector.
He thought frantically trying to formulate a plan. There were only two options. One was past the protector and the other was back into the capsule. It would not go anywhere but it had a strong door and he had a hostage. If nothing else, she had information and information was priceless, at the moment.
The protector was still slightly slumped and that bugged Marvin. He could not understand why the cop was not talking to him. The robot should have been trying to get him to release the woman. Again he wondered if the thing was waiting for reinforcements or maybe even orders.
Marvin backed toward the capsule door. It was a dead end he knew but somehow it felt better than trying to get past the metal monster. The protector had done nothing too or about Marvin but that only made the thing scarier in his mind.
The woman did not resist as Marvin pulled her into the capsule and shut the door. In fact, she had not resisted at anytime and had not spoken a word or made a sound. Now that he had a second to think about it, it was strange.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked the woman as he released her.
She stood where he left her and seemed to be in some kind of trance or mentally shutdown state. Marvin walked around the woman looking at her from all sides. She was beautiful even if she was a strange color.
Small cone shaped breasts, narrow hips, and a tiny waist. Her sex was hairless and she had a fabulous heart shaped ass. Long legs and narrow long feet added to her beauty.
Marvin gave a shiver as he pictured her long tall lanky body in a soft bed with him. He had always loved tall lanky women. They were so flexible and seemed to fit with his short wiriness. The positions they could get in.
"Hello! Anybody home?" He asked as he waved a hand in front of her face. There was no reaction.
With a smirk, he reached up and pinched her right nipple. There was no reaction. He pinched the other nipple with the same result or lack there of. No one was home, seemed to be the answer to his question. So much for information from her, he thought as he sat down in the only seat.
Well maybe not, he now knew that she was not painted as he had first assumed. The color was in and not on her skin. How had people gotten to be all colors? Pink, brown, red, yellow, black, white, those he could understand. This rose color he could go with maybe, but sea green and royal blue.
"I sure could use some information here," he said to the woman.
"How can I be of help?" She asked in reply but the voice was not the same as it had been earlier. It was deeper and had the same inflection as the protector.
"Uh.... What's your name?" Marvin asked hoping he was wrong about the voice.
"I'm sergeant 124 at your service." Came the reply.
"You're the protector right?" Marvin asked with a groaning sound in his voice.
"I have control of this body, yes."
"Uh, yeah, ok. Exactly what does that mean?" Marvin asked as a cold chill ran up and down his spine. A cop that could control another body, why didn't he just take me over, Marvin wondered. Maybe he needed to be invited in or something.
"It means I have moved Miss Young's memories, personality, and sample DNA to a safe place. I protect and serve."
"Interesting," Marvin whispered to himself.
"I'm glad you think so sir, I find it a little bothersome that I had to do it. Miss Young is being deprived of her rights as we speak." The protector replied. "You really didn't need to take her hostage you know."
"No, I didn't know. I'm new here and you scared the hell out of me," Marvin said.
"New? I do not understand how anyone can be new to a world they have lived in for what appears to be thirty-eight years if I read you right. In addition, why would hell be in you in the first place?
This thing knew how old he was somehow, a scan of some sort maybe. Calling it a thing, with the lovely rose lady standing in front of him, seemed oddly distracting. But then again she really was not home at the present time it seemed.
"I've lived that long alright but not here," Marvin told the protector.
"There is nowhere else to live, sir. That is unless you are an alien from another world and from my medical scans; you seem to be human enough. I'm accrediting the chemical imbalances in your brain to stress, of course." The protector replied.
"Not another world, another time." Marvin corrected.
"Sir, time travel is not possible."
"Maybe not now but it was at one time in the past."
"I see," the protector said after a long pause. "Then you must be the Marvin Hicks of the twenty first century."
"Uh yeah, that's me," Marvin said and then sighed. "Why can't you people just let me alone. I screwed up, I know but now, I'm way out of my league. All I wanted is a fresh start."
"I will have your trial date information in a moment."
"Trial date? What the hell can you charge me with? There's a statue of limitations on burglary for god's sake," Marvin said as he rubbed his eyes and slumped in the chair.
"You were made a precedence case since you used time to escape. A trial was started in your absence, and then put on hold until you were captured in the future. There can be no limitation put on a pending trail or the case before it."
"What! What kind of legal mumbo jumbo is that?" Marvin asked standing up quickly.
"Mumbo jumbo I don't understand sir but I assure you it is legal in all three countries of the world."
"Three countries of the world? What the heck happened to the rest of them?" Marvin asked.
"They were consolidated, sir, into the East, the West, and of course China." The protector told him.
"Uh.... Where are we?"
"The West, sir.
