**QUARTER FIVE STARTS HERE WAIT THAT IS AN IMPROPER FRACTION**
Worlds collide ANY GRAMMAR MISTAKE IN QUOTATIONS IS ON PURPOSE

It had been years since the incident happened.Years ago at a government lab in Georgia,the workers were working on a machine that let you visit other Earths.One night the workers were on break and two hillbillies decided it was a good night for fried chicken and 4-wheelers.As they were riding through an open field they stumbled upon a cast iron hatch on the ground.They stopped their 4-wheelers and one of the said"Lets go in it,bet its a KFC stockpile!"The other said"Darn tutin its locked,bet the password is MURICA."The other one said as he entered MURICA into the lock "Well ill be darned."The hatch opened and they made their way in.They walked past several rooms until they found one that interested one of them,he said "Hey Chuck look at that ol shiny doodad."They went into the room and looked at the machine,Chuck said "That dont look like KFC."The other one said "Hey look at that screen over there,is that Shrek and Barny?"Chuck yelled "I want MY KFC,THIS AINT NO KFC STOCKPILE"He charged to the end of the room and picked up a conveniently placed crowbar.He then ran over to the machine and started waking it.Moments later he heard a sizzle then BOOM,Chuck and the other guy were pushed with the force of the explosion to the back of the wall.They could not see through the blinding light but they thought they heard something yell "Get out of my swamp!"

(Quarter 4) Paranormal activity ({[Mc.Donalds edition]})
My mom told me to go to a good college,not to go on this path.The path of a fry cook.She said "What about the college fund,what are you going to do with it?Buy an extra large burger and an X-Box?"That is just what I did.It was all going well until she kicked me out of her basement on account of being a "Freeloader",whatever that means.I got a job later at Mc.Donalds as a fry cook,the manager agreed to let me live in the Mc.Donalds basement as long as I let him pay me below minimum wage

Day One:As I was exploring my new "home" after work one night,I got hungry so I went to some thawing patties for a snack.As I was digging through the cardboard box for the perfect pattie I found a very creepy Ronald Mc.Donald doll.

Day Two:I figured out what is in these patties,you do not want to know what is in them.

Day Three: I woke up with the Ronald Mc.Donald doll at the foot of my bed,in between my legs staring at me.I screamed in a very high tone,then slapped the doll of my bed. Then I saw on the wall written in a mysterious red substance "Eat at Mc.Donalds"

Day Four: Turns out the substance is ketchup.

Day Five:I told the manager what happened and he said "Well this was one of the first Mc.Donalds and long ago the Hamburglar and Ronald Mc.Donald fought over who should be the spokes person of Mc.Donalds. They fought here. After about 10 minutes of throwing insults back and forth,the Hamburglar fell to the ground because of a heart attack caused by his love for Big Macs.NOW GO OUT THERE AND MAKE BE SOME BURGERS!"

Day six: Im starting to think my manager is possessed by the Hamburglar.I saw him in his office talking to himself about "Nasty ol Ronald Mc.Donald".Also I have never noticed all the Hamburglar memorabilia on his desk.

Day Seven:I awoke tonight to something repeatedly saying "Eat at Mc.Donalds.Eat at Mc.Donalds". I decided to check out what it was. In the corner of the room sitting in a box of Hamburglar memorabilia was my manager curled up in ball saying "Eat at Mc.Donalds.Eat at Mc.Donalds."I slowly approached him and said "Umm Bruce are you ok?Been eating too much fast food?"Bruce slowly went out of his ball form and leaped at me and yelled "RONALD IS COMING!"Then he ran up the stairs like a man after a long night at the bar yelling "Ronald!No not Ronald.Ronald!".

Day eight:Tonight I was walking around the basement,when I thought I saw something moving in the pile of ketchup packs.I moved over there and started digging in them,expecting to find a rat.However what I found was not a rat but a paper.That said the following,

Grimace|ELIMINATED
Mayor McCheese|ELIMINATED
Birdie the Early Bird|ELIMINATED
Captain Crook|ELIMINATED
The professor|ELIMINATED
Officer Big Mac|ELIMINATED
The Fry Kids|ELIMINATED
The happy Meal gang|ELIMINATED
Uncle O'Grimacey|ELIMINATED
CosMc|ELIMINATED
Mcnugget buddies|ELIMINATED
Bernice|ELIMINATED
Vulture|ELIMINATED
Griddler|ELIMINATED
Mike the microphone|ELIMINATED
Sundae| ELIMINATED
Ronald Mc.Donald| Alive

All I could say was "Wow I did not know there were that many characters."

Day nine:Today the Mc.Donalds toy manufactures got a new shipment of toys today,for the happy meals,instead of the toys being Ronald Mc.Donald toys they were Hamburglar toys.My manager seemed a little to much happy he immediately took the toys to his room,and his voice was like a kid on Christmas morning saying "Ya finally some Hamburglar toys."

Day ten: Tonight at midnight I heard a car park in the parking lot,and I got out of the basement to who it was.I thought it was probably just some guy thinking this Mc.Donalds has 24-7 hour service like the others.Isaw a red Mini Cooper with a a hamburger on top.I strained my eyes to see who was in the car and saw a man with white makeup and a red afro on.I started to briefly smell grease and ketchup,but then a big red handkerchief with a burger printed on it out of no where flew into my face.I gagged and kicked but all I heard was "Warning number one...........eat at Mc.Donalds."Then everything started getting hazy and I got knocked out.

Day eleven:I woke up this morning to my manager yelling at me "Get up you bum!"When I woke up and I was tied onto the wall,with written in mustard next to me "Warning number one,eat at Mc.Donalds".My manager called the FBI to investigate this,and they temporarily shutdown the restaurant.While they conducted the investigation I secretly hid in a jumbo box of patties.

Day twelve:The investigation had stopped for the night and resumed in the morning.One of the rather plump FBI agents started to head towards the box of patties I was hiding in,but his coworker yelled "Jim remember we are here to solve a crime not for lunch.But we can go to that Burger King on South street for lunch."

Day thirteen through twenty:The investigation has been going on for a very long time now and I have been surviving on a diet of raw patties and diet Coke.

Day twenty one:The all clear was established to resume work and as I went to my boss's room to see if everything was okay,it seemed my boss had been fired as all of his memorabilia had disappeared.Most noticeable was a freshly painted painting of Ronald Mc,Donald,peering down at me with his fake smile on the wall.As I got to the grill my new boss came over to me and said "Howdy my name is Carl I will be taking over for your old boss.If you need anything just hoot and hurl. Haha see what I did there."I grunted yes and got back to work.

Day Twenty two:The soda machine were clogged with some kind of mystery substance (happens a lot around here),so I went to my boss.I swung open the door and shrieked.My boss was sitting crisscross applesauce on the floor in the middle of Ronald Mc Donalds face drawn on the floor in ketchup.He was also wearing a Ronald Mc,Donald suit,mumbling some kind of Mc,Donalds prayer.

**QUARTER FOUR ENDS HERE**

(QUARTER 2) 2:BANANA APOCALYPSE NOTE: I DID NOT TRY TO MAKE SOME OF THIS RED BUT IT IS STUCK LIKE THIS ,ALSO WORK IN PROGRESS
ALSO PART OF IT IS QUARTER 4
The date Friday the thirteenth of October,2013. Destined for horrible things.Boy scout troop thirteen was camping on a mountain during this time.It was about 10:00 at night and the older scouts made the first years look through the woods looking for a banana hidden in the woods. They would not be allowed into there tents until they found it.One scout at about 10:13 found it and started to take it back to the campsite, when he heard a deep growling voice that did not sound human say "BANANA.....BANANA... BANANA... BANANAS..... WILL...RULE....THIS......WORLD." The scout said " hahaha Jack I know it is you ( Jack pranks people in the troop a lot)." It moved out of the brush and he saw a mutant banana taller than a regular human with drool hanging out of it's mouth. The camp heard a blood curdling scream.Scott was a first year but he did not follow the older scouts orders and was hiding in a tree, he was asleep until he heard the scream. He ran as fast as he could to where he thought the screaming came from. He saw Jim ( the scout earlier) on the ground, his skin as yellow as a banana. His head jerked over to Scott and Scott said "ugh ugh are you ok Jim?" He responded " Ba ba ba ba BANANA!!!" He leaped up with great force and Scott ran back to camp screaming so hard it could blow someones eardrums. Jim ran after him with great speed. The camp was up from all the commotion and laughing at Scott for screaming.They were not laughing that hard when the infected Jim bit one of the scouts or some of the were laughing harder (it was troop 13 for a reason). 5 years later Scott escaped camp and hid in an abandoned banana factory, with a group of survivors. Meanwhile in a bunker in up-state New York the evil/mad scientist who created this epidemic, was making a banana smoothie. His servant Adam said in his British accent " Doctor Wayne the banana numbers have grown to over a million, how is your banana smoothie going? May I suggest some honey." His other assistant George said in his southern accent " Well butter my buns and call me a biscuit, the bananas have taken over New York." Doctor Wayne said " Took them long enough." Scott was walking around his base when he heard mumbling from the closet he wondered if it was a banana.He opened the door with his knife ready in case of danger. When he looked in he said " Oh it just you old man Danny. Wait why are you in the closet." He put away his knife. Danny said " 8675309 illuminati underscore 90123.RINGO RINGO" Scott frowned and said " Oh ya I forget all you say is random stuff." Danny continued to say random stuff and stare at the wall, when Scott decided to leave Danny. A survivor who was serving as a look out hastily climbed down the ladder from the roof,ran to the center of the building and yelled " We've been compromised the ban.." He was cut off mid sentence my Danny who jumped out of the closet and said " RINGO RINGO VROOOM VROOM, RINGO RINGO VROOOM VROOM." As the lookout was about to speak again Danny yelled " BANANAS ARE COMING...... SMOOTHIE" Scott just stared at him. Then a mutant banana broke in and after that banana more and more came.Scott started climbing the ladder and yelled "We have to get out of here.NOW!" He got out his radio and sent out a distress call. Most the survivors gathered on the roof fending off bananas,except for Danny who sat criss cross applesauce in the middle of all of it mumbling about fruit smoothies. Scott heard the sound of helicopter and looked up to see a military helicopter hovering above them, nearby survivors. They sent down a rope and one by one each survivor went up while the others fended off bananas, Scott was the first one up. The last person up was Danny who insisted on hanging on the rope and not going into the helicopter. As the helicopter flew away Danny flew around on the rope like a rag doll yelling " WEEEE WEEE FUN!" As Doctor Wayne exited his bunker the sunlight stung his eyes. He was going to take a walk around the woods, which he surrounded with electric fence. He put a special thing on him so if any bananas cross his path they will ignore him. He was walking down a small path down the woods to a creek when his power hungry assistant Adam who popped up out of nowhere said " The time has come Mr. Wayne for a new person to rule the bananas." Dr. Wayne said " You wouldn't." Adam said " I would." He opened a canister of blue fluid and threw it on Dr. Wayne. He immediately started turning yellow, into a banana. Adam strolled back to the bunker went down and closed the hatch, all while whistling his favorite song. When he got down George said " Where is Dr. Wayne?" Adam said " He went to live with the bananas" George grinned and said "Well butter my buns and call me a biscuit, Im going to to follow in my role model's foot steps." Adam said " Ugh no you will not be." George frowned and said " Ok." Adam said " First thing I'm going to do as leader is tell all of my banana minions to build monuments of me everywhere."George said "OOOO OOO CAN I BE IN IT TOO!" Adam's triumphant voice went to a low and annoyed as he said "Fine, just stop saying butter my buns and call me a biscuit for a week.It drives me crazy!" George said "Ok." Adam went to a machine that sent commands to bananas everywhere and sent them the command.The people who rescued Scott and his group of survivors, took them to their base. Scott's group of survivors decided to join them. Scott went out into the city to look for supplies. He went around a corner into the former city square to see bananas making a statue of two men out of marble. One of the bananas caught his eye, yelled at the other bananas and a small squad of bananas chased after him.George was skipping through a horde of bananas (he had the anti banana thing on),and whistling a song as he did it. Adam did not want to share his power with George.So he hid in an abandoned house, and when George skipped by he jumped out of his hiding spot and opened up and threw a canister of the blue fluid used on Dr. Wayne onto George. What happened to George was not what Adam was expecting, his skin melted off to reveal the body of a terminator from the future. Georges metal arm punched Adam right in the gut. Adam flew into the wall with great force. George said in his robotic southern voice (they do not mix together) "I am the Georgeinator I have come to exterminate human kind starting with you." Adam said " Wait your a terminator not a Georgeinator" George responded with "Ya that name was already taken." George started walking towards Adam slowly as his metal body sparked. Then Adam yelled " Bananas attack!" Since Adam was the bananas' master they obeyed even though George had special anti banana stuff on. The bananas pounced onto George, while Adam crawled away into the woods trying to get to his bunker. The bananas started to turn red, then they blew up from Georges heat vision. The banana guts flew onto Adam. Adam started to panic, when he remembered a cure he had been working on (only for himself). He gave himself the cure hoping it would work. The result was not pretty, half man half banana. He had a sudden surge of strength coming from the part of him infected. He leaped up and ran to the bunker. He unlatched it and went in. He new the Georgeinator was still out there, he had to get rid of him. He knew it, when he took control of the place he rigged an explosive field around the bunker (far enough so the bunker does not get destroyed).So if the banana hordes went rouge he would have a defense. He ran over to the control panel and hit the button. The whole Earth seemed to shake. He fell to the ground and blacked out. He woke up a couple of hours later. He went out of the bunker and saw what used to be a forest now a barren wasteland. For some reason Adam laughed at this. But after all he was not completely sane, you know half banana half man. He thought George was destroyed in the explosion,but he was wrong. Though George went into hiding he was waiting for the chance. The chance to destroy man-kind. Adam went back into his bunker and played solitaire for the next couple of hours.As Scott and the survivors flew off into the sunlight, Scott asked the people who saved him who they were. They responded you will find out. They landed at a giant warehouse.When they went in Danny said "Something smells like banana smoothies here. All of Scott's survivors immediately fell asleep. The warehouse was very dark. At about midnight the other band of survivors flicked all the lights on. Scott cringed at the light. Then the other band of survivors started chanting " banana....banana....banana.....banana...BANANA!" Then they ran to the center of the room and threw the curtain off of a statue, unveiling a giant banana. Scott immediately thought evil banana worshipers . The leader of them in front of the statue boomed "The banana gods are mad. You will be sacrificed to the gods." Danny stood up and said " Can I have room service. Maybe a smoothie?"{QUARTER 4 STARTS HERE!}The cultists gathered around the statue and started chanting "One of us One of us!"Then the leader pealed off his skin revealing a mutant banana,then Danny said "You ain't no banana,yousa an onion!"Then the leader said "The only person that says YOUSA is Jar Jar Binks!"Then Danny said "Meesa not Jar Jar lord of the sith!Yousa an onion!"Then Danny peeled of his skin revealing Jar Jar Binks,he threw on a jet black robe,took his lightsaber out from his pocket,and force jumped into the wall expecting to break it with his force powers.However he ended up a flat splat of Jar Jar on the wall. STAR WARS FANS EVERYWHERE CLAPPED IN THE DEATH OF JAR JAR BINKS.THE END!

-1. (QUARTER 3) Dwarf rebellion
Things never change. As the Humans have taken out the last of the elves, a century ago. They have managed to do the same to us,but they did not exterminate us like the elves.We thought we would be safe, we thought after they were done with the elven scum they would leave us alone.We were wrong. I experienced the elves being destroyed. I was only 50,now I'm 150. Some of us managed to escape. Some of us (like myself) enslaved. Forced to cater to anything the human's desire. Work all day and night in the mines.The ones in the mines had the worst of it, the working conditions so poor not even goblin would dare set foot there. All of us put into the mine thought we would have it easy being natural miners,we did not know what was in store for us.As I climbed down the rickety old latter to get to a good mining spot the human overseer yelled "1,000 pounds of rubies by the end of the day or 20 lashings each!" I started mining more hastily at the thought.At the spot there was a group of huddled dwarves not ming but whispering about something.One said "I can't take this anymore we need to get out of here!" Another said "How are we going to get past the guards so lightly armed. I slowly walked into the conversation sparked with the idea I said "Then we make our own armor and swords." One said "But how will we forge them" I said "In our little break time we will sneak to the unused forges." Everyone let the risk of that sink in.Then the leader of the group said"Well where will we hide them." I said"Under rocks." We all kind of nodded and set off to work. For the next month or two we mined for the humans and to make the gear we needed.

While doing all that we managed to get most all the dwarves miners to rebel.On our break we all went to the bottom off the mine, where we were hiding everything. We each took a suit of armor and a weapon. I took a battle armor and a suit of armor I had made from the finest materials I could find.We then marched to the surface to the guards post.The guards were awakened by the sound of clinking metal.The two drowsy guards rushed out of their booths with their swords drawn.One of them ran towards a big bell hanging from the top of the entrance of the cave.Then rang it, and ran towards his partner for the upcoming battle.The bell warning all humans of the dwarves.The odds about 1,500 enraged dwarves vs 2 drowsy guards. We sprinted at the guards and instantly overwhelmed them.As we walked out into the light it stung our eyes lemon juice in a paper cut.

0.(QUARTER 3)The Somme
For those who do not know what the battle of Somme was it was one of the bloodiest battles in history with more than 1,000,000 casualties and deaths.It was also a battle in World War one.For more information on the Somme go to

CHAPTER 1
James Archer a British 16 year old was rounding a corner on a saturday in London,while playing kick the can with some of his friends.The can was sitting next to the street in front of an enlistment center for the war raging across Europe. When James ran to the can he saw a recruitment poster that caught his eye.The poster made James feel even more enraged then he already was. He already felt like he should join the effort,the endless German zeppelin raids over Britain made him madder and madder. But now he felt obligated.The one problem was you had to be 18 to enlist and 19 to serve over seas, James knew how he was going to solve that.

One night that week James was out late when the alarm for a German zeppelin raid sounded. James ran for cover. He stayed there almost all night. When he decided it was safe, and started heading towards his home. When he got to his street he saw flames running through the street and building reduced to rubble. He heard moaning and screaming. He had a rush of adrenaline and started sprinting towards his home. His home was nothing but a pile of rubble with flames running across it trying to find fuel. He ran to the rubble digging through it like a madman despite the burning hot bricks to find any trace of his family. James hands were charred from digging through the rubble. After digging for what seemed like hours with no trace of his family his head flared with rage and he knew what he needed to do.The Germans had killed his family,he marched to the recruitment center. He enlisted himself,and when the recruiter asked how old he was he said 19.

CHAPTER 2
After a few months of training he was ready. James and his regiment were stationed at Somme, little did they know how much bloodshed would happen in the next four months.Someone in his regiment gave him the nickname Archie. James had become friends with one of the newer troops like himself. The older troops knew not to make emotional ties to anyone because,when they were green troops they learned it the hard way. His friend's name was Jack Brigs,he was given the nickname of ring-dong because of his personality when enlisting.One night James was on guard patrolling the trench when he thought he saw someone move out in no man's land. He did not want to sound the alarm because if there was no one there then he would get in big trouble with his nco. He saw something move again but this time he could faintly make out a helmet.The Germans were attempting a surprise attack on his regiment. He ran to the alarm and sounded it. Men ran out of their makeshift living quarters like bullets.

Men lined up along the trench, and pointed out their rifles.The Germans knew they were caught and ran out of the places they were hiding and made a line and started marching towards James trench. They dropped like flies.When the skirmish was over the people who were not on patrol went right back to bed.At the crack of dawn James was almost asleep, but Jack took his spot on patrol. James instantly fell asleep. James woke up to his nco yelling to the people manning the mortars "Fire on the coordinates! 89,78!"Then his nco rushed into the troop's makeshift living quarters and shrieked "Jerrys on left flank! Get to battle stations!"James rushed to his rifle and pack, and ran to his station.his station was a small nest offshoot from the main trench. At his station two machine gunners covered the left flank, while James covered the middle just in case the enemy comes through the center. The ground rumbled from the machine gun fire.James kept watch of the center,when he saw a regiment of German troops marching across no mans land.James yelled "Jerrys through the middle!"

Chapter 3
James found himself shooting into no mans land while his combatants at his station where shooting at the left flank.Men on the left flank moved over to the center taking positions. German artillery fired at the trench relentlessly.One of the shells barely missed James position. The shell sent shrapnel into one of the machine gunners mortally injuring him.The soldier fell to the ground,James knew that there was no saving him.James had a little bit of practice with a machine gun from boot camp.He took the machine gun planted on the left flank of the nest and planted it right dead center facing the Germans marching through the middle.He strapped his rifle on his back and started firing the machine gun.The German attack started to lose momentum and halted.

After the skirmish no one celebrated the victory because they knew there was a lot more to come.James was on patrol for the rest of the day. The next day the Germans planned another attack,this time straight on through the center.The attack started with a barrage of artillery. The soldiers retreated to their underground dugouts.The German dugouts where designed to resist shell fire.The British dugouts where not nearly as good.During the barrage some of the dugouts caved in from the artillery fire.When the fire stopped the soldiers slowly went out,but then rushed as they saw the enemy's march. James nco barked out orders to his regiment "Defend center trench!Do not move until the all the Jerrys have been killed!"James got to his position,and started firing at the Germans.Then for a split second you could hear it,the faint whistle of a shell sailing through the sky. The soldiers that heard it including James did not dare run for cover. They feared the consequences of deserting.The ground shook with ferocity. James ear's rang as if his ears had sirens in them.The blast sent shrapnel in all directions.As James lifted his hands to protect his face a piece of shrapnel shot into his left wrist.He yelled in agony,he looked down at his wrist he saw a piece of jagged metal about 6 inches wide and 8 inches tall embedded in his wrist.He started to feel loopy and started to black out, when he fell like a brick into the mud.

Chapter 4

(QUARTER 2) 1:2078: The U.S engaged in a global war, where it is every-country for themselves just found out from enemy intelligence that the Western European Union had a plan to Nuke out the States. The Government responded with great speed building a nuclear missile for each country in the Union as a counter attack, and initiated the Fallout Act. The Fallout Act issued every town, city, and residential neighborhood to have a Fallout Shelter government approved. Immediately after the shelter was finished residents would start packing their belongings into his or her designated room. Will was a police officer who lived in a medium sized residential neighborhood, outside of Philadelphia one of the Union's target cities. Will was set as the leader of the shelter. Everybody was in the shelter with their belongings except for the people who said " I aint gonna leave my home for some darn tutin looters." when the government got the info that the Union was about to launch the missiles so they launched theirs. The result a wasteland except for the few areas left untouched. Will was sitting on his bed in his room when the nuclear missile hit sending a shock wave so powerful that the shelter itself cracked.

3:A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A GOLDFISH
My name is Fletcher and I am a goldfish. To me it is very obvious that my human owners think that all I do is swim around the little ceramic castle in the middle of my tank and eat. But the truth is I actually have a life. When my human owners are at school i'm at school too, but my school is on a little computer in my castle.I hide it in there so that the humans will never know. I talked with my gold fish friends on the computer right before first period, then I went to history and learned about the Goldfish civil war. In tenth period I had english and wrote a story about my human owners. After school I played a little bit of my favorite game the Goldfish chronicles, then I went to my neighbor Goldston’s fish bowl. In order to get there I would have to use the underground waterways hidden under my ceramic castle.The underground waterway only leads to my goldfish neighbors, it would be too risky to try and connect elsewhere. The waterway goes straight down from my bowl to a straight tube underground that goes in two directions left and right. On my right is where Goldston lives but right before his bowl is my grumpy old neighbor Joy. They say that Joy used to live up to her name but I never knew her like that, she is also the oldest goldfish the neighborhood has ever known.To my left are the Platinum twins. I do not know them to well but I hear they are nice. As I swam to Goldston’s bowl Joy yelled at me to stop in my tracks. She said that when I swim I should swim quieter. I said ok with an odd tone to my voice. Then she yelled “TO LOUD TO LOUD!”After that she said “ why are you here anyway?” I responded “ I'm going to Goldston’s bowl.”
She immediately said “ That Goldston I've never liked him, did I ever tell you about the time he…..” She stopped mid sentence and yelled “Why are you on my property get off, get off, now!” I swam as fast as I could out. When I got to Goldston’s bowl we played the Goldfish chronicles for a while, then I went home ate and went to bed. To all humans who read this yes a goldfish’s day is a lot more interesting than you would think.

4:CHAPTER 1 Elves and humans, once friends now mortal enemies all due to the humans thirst for conquest and glory.I live in a small yet ancient elven village on the plains. This town was thought to be sacred town no one would dare harm, where prophecies centuries old were told. As I sat in my woven chair in my cottage staring at my great great great grandfather’s sword on the mantle above the fireplace, I heard 3 bells ring. That meant that in the grand tower in the middle of town (the grand tower is where they stored all and anything sacred) they were holding an urgent mee
ting.I rushed to the tower at sprint speed. The senior elf who was standing at the entrance directing chaotic crowds into the tower stopped me and said “Almar Greenleaf, Get back here now! I know every elf in this town and I know that you are only 114. You have to be 115 to enter this meeting.”I walked back to my cottage with an obvious not of anger on my face.The next day I was walking around the town when I heard some people I knew talking about the meeting. I butted in and said “What happened?”He said with an oddly calm voice” The humans have formally declared war on the elven nations.” I said “ But they would not dare harm this peaceful village. Right?” He looked at me and you could tell by his expression he was thinking I hope so. The rest of the day was a blur walking around town, Talking with old friends, and some chores. That night I awoke to yells and screams of terror. I jumped out of bed and ran down stairs. I focused in on the sound and I could hear in the distance swords banging on shields like drums. There was a moment of silence then I heard all in unison rope snapping. Then I heard whistling in the sky then pure chaos. The first projectile landed right at the base of the grand tower. Then another and another all at random targets some hit elven cottages and some hit the grand tower again.An erie silence ocured while they reloaded their catapults.Then one catapult fired, direct hit right into the tower. It fell with so much power the shockwave of the fall must have been felt a mile away. The city was in flames from the bombardment. In the moments after the shock the warriors gave a loud war cry, and charged the city. I knew if I was going to make it I would have to leave the city. I ran around the cottage gathering some of my most important belongings and put them in a sack. I sprinted up to the mantle and got my sword. I ran out of my house and saw a scene I will never forget. Fire raged through the street,dust was still settling from the tower,people screamed as the front gate fell and warriors charged through with demon speed.I sprinted down the street as fast as I could with my pack knowing I would never outrun these warriors.Out of left field a horse charged right in front of me and neighed with fear. I knocked myself in the head how could I have been so stupid, I should have gotten my horse right away. I don't know how it knew how to follow me but I did not have time to ponder that thought I jumped on his back and rode as fast as he would go. I was going strait to the back gate to get out when a small tower collapsed and blocked his way out. I thought as fast as I could what could I do to get out, I was cornered from the warriors.The little street to my left was blocked by a cart. I snapped the reins on my horse and veered her toward the cart at full speed. She jumped over it and sprinted through the street while the warriors followed behind. A part of the wall had been destroyed from the catapults and my horse jumped over the rubble and sprinted into the surrounding plains. The warriors stopped at the wall and ran back into the city. I rode my horse up a hill and watched in horror the destruction of my town. Centries old monasteries gone in a matter of hours. Prophecies older than the town itself gone in a matter of hours. It was midnight and the only reason I could see all this was because of the ravaging fire going through the city.

CHAPTER 2

I decided it would not be safe to stay here so I decided to go to the Elven citadel to the east.I rode peacefully till morning when I decided to take a rest under a tree.At about mid day I woke up and heard something rumaging through my pack. I heard it mumbling to itself take the valuables take the valuables take the valuables. I remembered my sword next to me and slowly picked it up and jumped up in front of the creature and yelled. It jumped back a bit and it screamed. Its voice was as rough as gravel and said “An elf eh, what are you doing in these parts?” I gave him my explanation as he rummaged through my stuff even more. I also told him how I was planning to go to the citadel.During that conversation I realized I was not talking to just a thief I was talking to a pine goblin. The goblin said “ Well you're a lucky little elf I happen to be going in that direction too. I don't think you'll be needing that sword with me.” I took in that he was asking for, an alliance till we got to the citadel. I put my sword down and accepted his offer and the goblin said “ We ought to get moving if we want to make it to the citadel before the night crawlers(START OF QUARTER 2) wake.”So we started our journey to the citadel. The goblin hung onto my back as I rode my horse to the citadel. We came into a wooded are about halfway into the ride. When we heard " Stop your horse and give us anything of value." My companion jumped off the horse and ran into the woods,what a coward. A single man came out of the trees. I said " didn't you say us?" He said " yes I did do you not know of the powers of a knight crawler."The man looked like a human except he had glowing red eyes,dark blue skin, and a black cloak covering most of his body. He made a symbol with his fingers and about 100 clones of himself appeared." I jumped off my horse took out my sword and charged.The clone I charged at grinned and with a poof of smoke disappeared. The clone next to me when I attacked did the same. Each clone disappeared leaving just the original. It started laughing hysterically, and started to walk towards me stopped laughing abruptly and pulled out a throwing knife and threw it at me.It sank into my shoulder and I moaned in agony.It started stalking towards me, held out his hands and they burst into flames. I pulled out my sword in a last chance attempt to block his attack resisting the pain in my shoulder. Out of nowhere the pine goblin jumped out of a tree onto the knight crawler and punched the life out of him. The motionless knight crawler fell to the ground. The goblin went up to him checked his pulse and said " He is just unconscious we need to move.NOW!" I stared at him dumb founded and said " What were you doing back there, why did you abandon me?" He said "He he he I got hungry" What a creep.I took out the knife in my shoulder and bandaged it, but that was no barrier for the engulfing pain I felt from it.Then I got on my horse and got out as quick as I could.We rode into the plains, I could not bare the pain any longer from my shoulder so I stopped for shelter under a tree. I said to my companion" we will be spending the night here." He stared at me for a minute and said "ok" with a strange tone.Through the knight I was thinking of how easily that goblin beat that knight crawler, and that there must be more to this goblin than I thought.I woke up with the sun just starting to rise and I could just barely feel the ray of it's warmth hit me.The goblin was still a sleep and I woke him up and he started grumbling. We ate a small breakfast and started riding again. At about mid day five figures on horseback appeared. I slowed down my horse and got my sword ready in case of danger.When they got closer I saw that they all had on black armor except the one in the middle its armor was black with red streaks going down it. The leading figure took off his helmet revealing a battle worn face of a human, he said " Your work here is done Zalee." Zalee must be the goblin I thought.The goblin jumped off my horse right in front of the leader and the leader said " Ugh your pay." He took out a couple coins and some food and threw it at him.The goblin took his pay and ran away. The leader said " That goblin there is the newest generation of the gurdin clan." The gurdin clan is the most powerful clan of the goblins. The leader said " Anyway you must be wondering why we are here. We are hunting down the last of the elves and your one of them." I said " No you did not what about our citadel in the east." He said " Haha gone with a snap." He gave me a fake grin and said " Well you will be coming with...." An arrow whistled through the air right into his head, he fell right to the ground. Whoever shot the arrows knew it would be useless to shoot the other two in armor. One of the warriors grabbed me and put his sword on my neck and said " Leave now and nobody gets hurt." I tried not to fidget or move because one wrong move and I would die. I could feel the cold steel of the blade on my neck, and the sweating of the warrior. He must have been just as nervous as I was. I tried my best to calm down, but as you could expect being in a hostage situation does not make you calm. After about ten minutes I was drenched in sweat and the warriors thought it was safe and loosened his grip on me and shoved me forward another arrow whistled past me into one of the warriors neck.

NOTE WORK IN PROGRESS<--------------------------------------->

5:As I walked back to my “home”(from scavaging) in an abandoned apartment building.By the way my name is tom,my parents passed away when I was 11 now I am 12. After my parents died my house went into foreclosure, and that is how I ended up living in an abandoned apartment building in the ghetto of Philadelphia. When I got to the building I saw It burst into flames. I rushed in to get the only thing precious to me an amulet my mother owned with a rain drop on it. When I got to my room I saw a man dressed in dark red stalking through the fire. I stood in shock as he picked up my amulet, then when I realized what was happening I screamed “ NO” at the top of my lungs. He stared at me for what seemed like forever, when I heard a rumble in the ground. Out of nowhere a section of the floor gave way and a water pipe exploded.The impact sending the man to the ground. I sprinted over and took my amulet and got out of the place.Outside of the building oddly enough there were no fire trucks ,but even more odd a blue pickup truck whose driver was calling my name.I got in and questioned him why he wanted me.He said to just trust him. I got in suspiciously .He drove me out of the city and into the countryside.We were quiet for awhile until he said “This may come as a surprise but you’re a water bender.Water benders have the ability to control water. There are three other types of benders air and earth are usually peaceful and keep to themselves, but fire benders are the ones you have to watch for. They hate water benders and have a temper worse than a steam engine.The person who tried to take your amulet is a fire bender, there will be many more like him along the way. About that amulet the reason he tried to take it is that that whoever possesses it is the heir to the water throne no matter what type of bender you are. So you are the heir to the throne, and to keep you out of danger and train you the ways of the water bender I will be taking you to the water bender fortress In the Bahamas.”I had a look of confusion on my face. “ If we are going to the Bahamas then why are we going into Lancaster.”The man grinned “You have so much to learn.”Out of left field he slammed the gas. We were heading right into a lake at full speed. I screamed and kicked until when we were fully submerged water was not leaking in, and I stared in amazement. The man said “ You know you can breath under water right?”I did not answer for a second “ ugh no.”He opened the door and water rushed in, once again I screamed and kicked. When the water went over my head I was amazed that I could talk and breath under water.I followed the man to a small stone obelisk at the bottom of the lake. We stood there for a second,then he put his hand on a handprint on the obelisk and it started rumbling, I closed my eyes as hard as I could. When I opened them I saw A beautiful palace on the beach of an island in the Bahamas.The man took me to a room in the palace and said “ This will be your living quarters. When I leave go to the balcony and look out.” I said ok and stood in awe at my room it had a beautiful bed with silk sheets, a marble table with a woven chair,assorted decorations around the room, and best of all the balcony….. “Oh ya the balcony.” I walked up to the balcony and with a crack of a whip a man made of water appeared. He said “ I am your personal trainer in the ways of the water bender. Your first lesson is how to control water.” I nodded, he then said “When controlling water center your mind on peaceful thoughts and picture the water flowing in your mind.” I closed my eyes and did as he told and felt a tingling sensation rise up my body. I opened my eyes and saw water floating in front of me. I smiled with joy. “Don’t get too cocky” he said with a grin.
.As he started to say something the palace shook with a roar. I looked out of the balcony and and saw a battleship made of iron with steam puffing out of the back. I stood there dumbfounded as it fired another round of shots. The man yelled "FIRE BENDERS!"

Then I looked out and saw what once was a grand entrance made of marble a pile of rubble. The ship aimed its iron guns at the part of the building I was at and without thinking I jumped out of the building. I hastily thought about a sprout of water in my mind to cushion my fall. I closed my eyes so hard that it hurt. I opened them to see myself floating on water. I pictured it lowering me down and it did just that. I looked at the palace behind me and saw what was left of the place. Pure rubble. Some water benders were focusing their power on the ship making columns of water ram the ship. I looked to my left and saw a band of fire benders walking over to my position. One of the fire benders was moving his hands in a circle and an orb of fire appeared. It shot out at me and hit me in the chest sending me back 10 yards. I looked down at my chest and saw that section of my shirt gone and when i looked at my chest I moaned and immediately passed out. I woke up and my head was stinging. I was in some kind of cell with iron walls and floors. I also heard the swish of water, then a man appeared with a club and banged me on the head and I passed out again. TO BE CONTINUED!
