During the time of gangsters and tommy guns an item of extreme power blessed by the ancient gods from across time. This flat golden piece of history would sway minds and bend the elements to your will, give you ultimate control but it would only exist in your grasp for a year... Duuk found that out on his first jump. The 'Sky Plate' could only exist in the year it was dropped in and only the mystic Hourglass could break the time seal on it. Duuk popped into 1920, it was late spring and as he was tossed from the Time Storm he held the Hourglass close.

"I doubt I'll ever get used to that," Duuk said, examining his ancient holy time piece. "Seems to be alright. He had already sent one of the Sky Plates back to his home land, and home time. "One down, four more to go, and me being here means one of the plates is stuck in this year!" Standing his eyes widened, vomiting gold sand with black crystals mixed in it Dukonuu stumbled backwards, "And I'll never get used to that either..." And with that he began walking off into the rain of the night.

Desdemona, who in this time period went under the name Mona Renzulli, was sitting at the blackjack table in Tonys condo. Around the table were many of his 'family members': Skinny Joe, Big Al, Shorty and others. Mona was looking at the game. They all cheated, of course. Tony had hidden a royal flush in Mona clutch. She handed them to him, discreetly and one by one.

Duuk looked around, startled by a horseless chariot Duuk assumed they were evil and began smashing up one of the parked ones starting with the windows! Little did he know, it was the car of Tony Renzulli. After smashing out the 'eyes of the evil chariot' then slammed the beast on the nose with his elbow. Thinking the beast had no will to fight left Duuk opened up the hood and began pulling the automotive organs out and tossing them ascue into the rainy streets. "Where is my plate beast!?!?!"

After handing Tony the last card, she stood up. She walked across the smoke filled room, and toward the covered window. She peeked out between the curtains and saw a guy, beating up Tony's car. "Shorty." she said. "Some patsy is beating up Tony's car. Fix it!" she says.

A large man burst out of the door armed with brass knuckles. "Want a piece of me!?!?!" Dukonuu yelled, standing a top the automobile, thinking he killed it! "Bring it on ya big fat Ogre!!!!!" A few minutes later Duuk's beaten body was dragged into the condo and thrown to the ground. "Ugh, my Hourgla..." A boot was jabbed into his side as the man who beat him like this placed the Hourglass on the table. "GIVE IT BACK YA BIG UGLY BRU..." Another kick caused Dukonuu to vomit more sand, and fall quiet.

Mona Renzulli looked at Shorty, who dragged the idiot inside. The car outside was broken, and would never be able to drive again. Poor Rolls. Tony looked like he could kill the boy. But that would be no fun. "Tony, baby. Let me have this one." she said, before taking a sip of her champagne.

"I'm no slave," he spat before taking a boot by someone to the back of his head. Being from a time when slavery was very popular Dukonuu didn't want to get mistaken for one. "And your kicks are weak!!!" Anticipating the next kick, Dukonuu rolled catching the foot and flipping the man onto the ground. Jumping up he reached for his hourglass but was grabbed by his long hair and slammed back onto the floor, "ugh!"

Tony handed Mona the boy, by the hair, as it were a dogs leash. "Thank you, baby" she said,and give Tony a kiss. she then pulled the boy by the hair, into the living room next to the salon. She threw the boy on the floor, and lit a cigarette. "And who are you?" she asked him.

Duuk frowned, "I will not talk until I can get my Hourglass back..." The woman looked very pretty, not as pretty as Dukonuu's wife, but still very pretty. But that didn't mean he'd endanger his mission to give her his name or any other information until he knew the sacred time piece was safe.

She smiled, and took another sip of her champagne. She then looked at the boy again. "You ruined my baby's car." she said, and ran her fingers through her hair. "You do not call the shots here". Her hand played with the long necklace around her neck. Tony had given it to her. It had a very strange metal fragments an accent, but was quite nice.

"I slayed the monster guarding your house, I deserve reward!" Duuk stood up, eyeing the doorway he wondered if he could run out, enter the next room, grab his time piece, and pull the handle before anyone could stop him? Then he's just not destroy the beast and everyone would be happy!
