In the beginning a monkey escaped from the ZOO! His name was Gerald. He escaped from the zoo last night at 10:37 last night. Nobody could find him until one night Gerald walked into this cave to take a nap. Then he heard something in the cave with him, it was a dude with long shaggy hair with ripped up clothes and wearing a wizard hat holding a big, juicy, round, orange, it was also glowing green. The man peeled it and said, ̈Are you hungry? Gerald was so hungry so he took it and took a bite. Then all of the sudden he felt something flowing through his veins. The next morning he felt something that he never felt before like that he had superpowers. So he did the ultimate test he punched a wall and it broke in seconds. Then he flew away into the night sky. He realized that he needed a lair. So he found a mountain and he punched away in 17 minutes he was finally done. He knew then that he needed a sidekick so he flew to town and he saw a little kid that was a banana so he flew down and said what’s your name. I’m Banana Joe.

   End of Chapter 1

16 years ago Mike was just a baby, now he can shoot fire from his hands let me tell you the story.

 “Watch where you’re going,” Mike said as he ran out of the school to his car. He had planned a trip to Hawaii Meanwhile, Zach saw something, something he shouldn’t have. Before his eyes was a blue rock with a glowing white rune, and glowing white cracks on the bottom, He picked it up and heard voices telling him to break the rock. The kept getting louder and louder until he did, a white storm swallowed him up. When mike got off the plane the roads were crowded with tourists, his first goal, climb the volcano and get some good pictures. Around 6:35 he got to the volcano but instead of climbing it he heard voices and saw a cave. They were telling him to go in. That night 3 things happened. 1. Azreal was awakened as his soul was bound to the ice rune, 2. Mike now wields the fire rune, and 3. Since The eternal flame(fire rune) is no longer powering the volcana it has started to erupt, crumble, and explode. Mike ran with his finds as fast as he could but soon, he was trapped in the volcano. Fire was erupting all around him, until he realized he wasn’t hot at all he was actually cool. At that moment he realized he wasn’t holding the rune he looked down and saw a broken rock and red glows fading, it was quiet and there was a red shield around him.

 “What’s happening to me,” He felt different, as if he had been taken out of his body and put in a new one.

One month later

Alex was doing his usual duties; cleaning, cooking, and washing clothes. Alex helped his dad with his cleaning business, but this day he felt different, like something was off. On his way to work, he felt the ground start to shake and it separated beneath him.  When he woke there was nothing but the earth around him, but one thing stood out. A brown rock with glowing green cracks lay in front of him, he picked it up but then the ground shook again, launching him to the surface. Immediately a van pulled up and a man in a red and black tuxedo stepped out, threw a fireball at him, and BOOM! There was nothing.

A story told by Eric

When he got to the city the biggest potato was already in the countryside. Jamal found a 1966 Plymouth Fury Ⅲ and took it to the country. The biggest potato did not have enough time to move on before Jamal was able to catch up. Jamal had to crash his car into the biggest potato’s car so he couldn’t drive away.

“You will not defeat me,” Jamal says.

“You are a mere peasant compared to me moose thing,” Says the Biggest Potato.

The fight starts off when the potato tries to sneak a punch on Jamal but he notices and dodges the attack and then Jamal was able to headbutt him. But as a potato, you are able to call other potatoes to help you. Jamal was outnumbered! At first, he tried to breakdance and kick all the potatoes in the face. Jamal knew it he needed reinforcements. He called for his reinforcements and they were all able to come in a limousine. They also couldn’t be turned into a dinosaur rooster. Jamal and his friends tried to take on the potatoes one on one. They realized it wasn’t going to work so they were going to do their ultimate move. The moose lined up in a horizontal line and charged forward…

It was a dull evening with the sun getting devoured by the Earth. The moon taking over the western side of the desert. It was luckily just enough to see but we couldn’t go any farther. Jesse was barely visible inside the wagon but I knew he was there. 

“Alright Jesse looks like we’re staying here for the night,” I said.”Get out the big cloth. It’s the only thing close to a blanket we have.” 

“I don’t want to sleep here it’s dangerous pap,”says Jesse. “What if a hyena sneaks up on us and the horse?”

“Just do as I say so! It’s more dangerous out there! What if there is a cliff?”

“Fine i’ll get the cloth,”said Jesse.

We were both tired from the long day of traveling and both knew we couldn’t make it to town. We wanted to get to town by today but just couldn’t. I put the horse on the rope and tied it to a nearby bush. Then climbed it into the wagon for a nights slumber. Jesse was cold so I let him have the whole cloth and within a minute or two I was fast asleep.

“When I woke up in the morning Jesse wasn’t in the wagon or anywhere else. The the horse wasn’t there either. I was devastated but still had to get to town so I picked up as much as I could and walked the rest of the way. I have never seen my son Jesse again for the past 16 years.”

At 5:00 AM I wake up too go hunting I get on my gear and load my rifle I set out to the tree stand I look around and then climb the ladder. Once I’m up I wait till lunch time to go back in but there’s nothing till lunch time. So I get down and walk back to the house and eat lunch, after lunch I headed back till dinner time. But before I started to get down from the tree stand I see a deer I climb back up I aim my rifle hold my breath hearts pounding I release my breath as I pull the trigger, BOOM! I see the deer dart into the tree line and come back to the clearing and it drops THUMP! As all hunter should do I waited about 10 to 20 min too get down and gut it and take it back to the barn too hang it too skin tomorrow. When I go to the barn the next day them darn coyotes ate it so I drove back home and slept.

THE END

The turtles survived all these mass extinctions the ice age, whatever killed the dinosaurs, and us. They have been here forever and know they are being killed by plastic straws. We have helped them and gave up plastic straws and switched to metal and paper. We saved them from extinction and what did they give us back… slavery and misery. They have taken us over and now rule the earth. The top of them all the mighty snapper. He survived 16 straw attacks and was the test dummy for mega turtles. Scientists thought it was a good idea to try and make turtles bigger, stronger, faster, more aggressive, and make them more intelligent. The experiment went terribly wrong and king snapper killed all the scientists and took the serum and gave it to all the turtles.

The year is 2030 and King snapper has just ordered all human beings to kill anything or anyone touching a plastic straw. There have been 2043 confirmed deaths already and this law has only been in place for a month. The military has been planning a rebellion against the turtles even though they know they will not be able to defeat them. One of the spies snuck into the underwater palace of the turtles and was caught by a mega turtle guard. They held a giant execution in the middle of Turtleville the capital of the world. While the turtles were celebrating the execution the humans held a massive funeral 22 miles east of the city. The scientists that havent been caught by the turtles yet have been trying to make a reversal serum on the turtle that will give us a chance to fight back. The scientists labs is located in Turtlesralia where no turtles can find them.

Twelve years later the scientists are on the brink of completing the serum but the process has been slowed down majorly because the head scientist that was making the serum was caught and killed trying to kidnap a turtle for testing. The turtles have heard rumors of the lab and are trying to find it. Everyday the scientists are getting closer to completing the serum but everyday the turtles are closing in on the lab. The turtles are practically on top of the lab but the scientists just need one more ingredient for the serum… King snappers left toenail. They sent the best warrior that was still alive to retrieve the toenail. He snuck into their camp and as he was entering he was seen by a peasant turtle cleaning their shells. He had to run as fast as he could and broke into the palace killed the guards and knocked out king snapper.

Prologue

Nefertiti Abebe is an African girl, living in Magwe, Southern Sudan, with her older brother, Berko, her Mother, Susanne, and her father Faraji who unfortunately passed while serving in the Sudanese Navy. To assure that Nefertiti has a happy life, her uncle pretends to be her biological father without Nefertiti knowing. The only people that know of this is Susanne, her Uncle Andre (who is pretending to be her father), and her brother Berko who was mature enough to realize that his father had kicked the bucket and that his uncle is not his father.  

Her mother was born and raised in Wales, United Kingdom. She met Faraji on Facebook and fell in love with him, which is why she moved to Southern Sudan to be with him. She has bright, blue eyes that are easily genetically passed down. Faraji is from Southern Sudan, Africa, so he has the naturally dark skin and dark, poofy, short hair. Miraculously, she inherited her mother’s blue eyes and the rest of her father’s Sudanese features. Because of her exotic appearance, she was praised by her townspeople, who thought that she was some sort of angel sent down from the Gods.

Chapter 1: Life as a Not-So-Normal 12 Year old Girl

I wake up at 7 a.m. sharp, as usual. I’d prefer to sleep in until, I don’t know, at least 9:00? That would be a dream come true. 

“Nefertiti!” My mother calls, “Time for breakfast!”

I groan, knowing that “breakfast” is actually just an organic kale, mud, smoothie, and a bowl of roasted crickets. I get out of bed
