The last time we saw Graham, Debbie, Tera, and Elizabeth, they had narrowly escaped the Tempus Murderer’s clutches…
Graham was 12 years old and had always been interested in the house across his street that glowed through the windows every night. The house’s occupant was a crazy old man, Jack Rooster. After the house flashed and thundered on one particular night, it remained as normal as any other house. But that’s when things got weirder. When Graham was forced out of his house by his cousin, Debbie, he began to notice that things and people from ancient history and what seemed to be the distant future were everywhere.
He soon learned this was a phenomenon called the time fusion, the cause of which was under investigation, but the common theory was that it was caused by a serial killer from the future called the Tempus Murderer. The first horror of his life was finding a dead police man there, killed by the Tempus Murderer, whose body was discovered by Katherine, a he and his cousin just met.
Graham, naturally curious by nature, began to investigate. Once he met a boy robot from the future named Rakhon, he began to ask him questions about the investigation, since Rakhon worked for the League Against Temporal Crime.
Graham came to suspect the crazy old man that lived across his street when he discovered the time fusion had started the very night the house thundered and flashed. Rakhon was convinced Graham knew something when he saw a drawing in his notebook, which he called a Chronoculus. Apparently this symbol meant something to the boy robot, but Graham didn’t understand how because he was from the year 5050.
Rakhon was later killed by the Tempus Murderer.
Now convinced he had to do something, Graham foolishly decided to inspect Jack Rooster’s house when he arrived back home from his uncle’s house. His friends–Debbie, Tera, Elizabeth, and Katherine–attempted to stop him, but he was stubborn.
He found the alleged cause of the lights in the house: a blue crystal. However, Jack Rooster showed up and began to fire upon them–mainly at Katherine. Soon Graham managed to capture Jack in a prism trap, but he soon found that he was dead wrong about who the Tempus Murderer was.
Katherine revealed her true nature and trapped Graham in the prism trap. With the power of his Chronoculus, however, he was able to break out and narrowly defeat Katherine, but not before she killed Jack Rooster.
Graham and the rest were safe, but the time fusion was still there, and many of the questions about the time fusion, the Tempus Murderer, and the Chronoculus were left unanswered.
