STAR RATS! Planet Microopillis

GIGANTIC POST! probably going to fix these and make it into a book! :) no, I'm serious!

Prologue

there is a different story to every world there is. Some times the story can be terrifying, or wonderful. You never know. For Zed in Microopolis, it was just that. His story, for example, is not an ordinary story. The story is not an ordinary story, because of his frinds and how they come together in a war.That even is unsual because war usually splits friends apart. Now, for his friends, well they are 3 humans and 1 zedpolion and his little brother. Sarah is the smart one in the group, taking Zide next then Jake, Zeppy, and zed. Nike is a whole other story of friends. I just thought you might like to know where the group is before they are in the war. If you could feel how this going to go, don’t worry. I hope this story not going to turn out like it is in real life! How horrible!.
Anyway, the humans are Jake, Sarah and Nike. On Earth the year is 2007. On Microopolis it is 2087. See the difference?
Now, Zed is 13, Zeppy, Zed’s little brother, is 7. Zide, Zed’s best friend, is 13. (Ages of Zedpolions are important there). The galaxies I’m going to tell about are the galaxy of Galactic Lights, the Milky Way (of course) and the Mystic Wing Galaxy.
Zed’s story starts when Zed’s soon-to-be mother accidentally lands on Earth in between Safeway and Target and does magic. Really. Before I forget, if there are some parts that are too cruel, please throw this story over the Golden Gate bridge, or the tallest thing in your city.

Chapter 1
The Alien in the Alley

Zenith looked around at the two buildings. One was white, and one was the color black. Then she calculated the size of the alley between the two buildings. Perfect.

“But I didn’t mean to land on Earth, and the young Zepcity King said not to…”

She looked at her three fingered hand. Well he is kinda nice. This will only take a second, and we might get lucky and Earth will hopefully help us. What could possibly go wrong? Zenith raised her hand and said:

“Patir het legix!”

Black lights shot from Zenith’s hand and pounded the alley wall. The wall suddenly went black, then slowly faded into the wall.

“Uh oh! I think I did too much! Now what?”

This was bad because now the Earthlings couldn’t just go to her newly found planet Microopolis, but could go to any planet in the universe!

“I could set the alley so the Earthlings will think the alley’s haunted. But that will ruin the plans.” Zenith looked at her magic watch. “7.54 hours! I really need to go! Oh no. I really hope the king is not mad at me for this! It was just an accident!”

Yes it was an accident, but what Zenith didn’t know is that the alley would change three Earthling kids and 2 of her children’s lives, and their friend, 20 years later.

Zenith’s children would be Zed and Zeppy and their friend would be Zide. The Earthlings would be Sarah, Jake, and Nike. But Zenith was right about something. The six children would help the war. But that’s just getting ahead of things.


Part 1
20 Years Later

Chapter 2
The Forbidden Castle

“Zed! Zeppy!” Mrs. Polion called.

“We are right here!” Zed yelled at the top of his lungs.

This was the third time today his mom wanted them. She knew they were getting ready to go to Zide’s house…right? Mrs. Polion stepped out the front door.

“Make sure you come home at 7:00!”

“Yes, Mom!” Zeppy called.

Zed and Zeppy finally arrived at Zide’s house. As soon as they were out of earshot of the house, Zide asked, “What are we going to do today, Zed?”

“Well I was thinking we would go play with the space basketball, but Zeppy had to blow it up with Dad’s ford bombs because there was a black spider on it…” I thought it was a man eater!”Zeppy said defending himself.

“Isn’t it obvious man eaters are red?”

“Apparently not,” Zide said.

“I thought we might check out the forbidden castle,” Zed finished.

“What?!? Are you crazy?” Zide and Zeppy questioned at the same time. “You know we’re not allowed in there!” Zide yelled.

“Do you know what Dad has in there? A dragon from Planet Red! And know what? The name is FLAME!” Zeppy yelled, so everyone in the small neighborhood could hear.

“Your point is…?” Zed said, annoyed.

“Really Zeppy, Zed is right, who cares?” Zide sweetly said.

“Nobody cares any more!” Zeppy said, ending the conversation.

Suddently, the forbidden castle appeared before their eyes in a dark sort of way. The bolted doors stoor there, staring at the three kids as if it was saying, “Move and get killed.” That did not stop Zed or Zide, but it almost stopped Zeppy.

“Guys, I think I’m going to wait outside and go down to the uh…um…Oh never mind,” Zeppy said, and started to leave.

“I’ve heard from the stories that Dad has the remote for the tev in there.”zed said smiling.

“Really?” And without warning, Zeppy ran inside.

When Zed, Zeppy and Zide got to the “secret office where you forget ways that are way too evil,” Zed stopped and made a bored sigh.

“I wish we could see your Dad’s office., Zide hinted,

“You mean our Dad’s throne?’’Zed corrected, “Yeah, that!”

“Let’s go see the dungeon!” Zeppy said, breaking the silence, suddenly fired up.

“Okay!” Zed and Zide both agreed.

Clank! Clank! Ow! “Zeppy! you stepped on my foot!” “Sorry!” Clank! Clank! Clank! “How many more steps?” “Stop complaining!” Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank! “One more!” “…Whew!! We made it!! “Finally.”

Those were the noises going under the castle into the dungeon. The dungeon, where the prisoners arrived but never left. Left but never arrived to the sunlit world, again.

Chapter 3
Grounded

“This is a ripoff,” Zed said as they looked around the empty dungeon. The dungeon was a small room with chains on the wall, where they put the prisoners in. Other than bugs, nothing moved. Though, there was that door with creepy stone eyes staring at you…

“Let’s go back up and explore somewhere else,” Zide suggested.

“Yes, lets.” Zeppy said. So all three went up the stairs and were wandering around the black castle until they heard one of the servants coming around the corner. In panic, the three ran inside the nearest room, which just happened to be the King’s throne room.

The throne room had glowing lanterns on the walls in a line. There was also a black carpet on the floor. “Did I mention the King’s favorite color is white?” In the middle of the far wall was the throne. The chair had velvet red, while the legs were gold with sapphire gems on the sides. It really did look like a rich King’s throne. Luckily, the King was somewhere else.

So, seeing that the coast was clear, Zed, Zeppy and Zide went into the feast room, which is right by the throne room. In the feast room, there is a big long table that goes from one side to the other, and if you walk the width of the table, it feels like the table goes on forever, then it stops at the end of the table where the King eats. At that side of the table was a person looking very mad indeed.

“Boys,” Zed’s father said, “You are grounded for a week! And Zide, I’m so disappointed in you. Go home. I need to talk with my sons.”


Part 2
The Beginning of the Galactic Civil War

Chapter 4
Alley Rats

Bam! Bang Crash! “Nike, could you please be a little quieter?” Sarah said, frustrated. It was taking forever to clean out the alley between the stores which have been out of business for years. What was taking Jake so long? Jake finally came out of the Target store.

“Good thing nobody comes to this part of the country,” he said. Nike looked down the mountain at the city lights. “It is an abandoned mountain that Sarah’s parents own,” Nike added. “They’re millionaires.”

The two stores were in the middle of a forest close by the edge. They had been exploring the mountain for 3 months till they found this place.

“I think it’s silly that someone built two stores in the middle of nowhere,” Sarah exclaimed. The alley was 15 feet long and 7 feet wide. The three kids called themselves the Alley Rats.

“Wanna snack?” Jake asked, pulling out some bananas. “I brought these from home, since it was my turn to get snacks.”

So they all sat down in their own alley and had a snack, listening to the nature all around them, with the broken down stores hiding them from sight, and the city busily running around below them, not knowing about the three kids up there having a nice time with each other, and fixing up what was supposed to be a haunted place.

After the tasty snack, they went back to work. But when Jake fell hard on the back wall of the alley, the wall went black, and showed stars and galaxies that were labeled. All three stared at it and one planet caught their eye – it said Ecox. Nike put his hand out to touch it to see if it was a painting. Then everything went white.

Chapter 5
Planet Ecox

Suddenly, as if nothing had happened, the three Alley Rats’ clubhouse was still. Except it gave them a minute to see that it wasn’t their alley at all. It was a castle. It was a dark castle, made from stones. They wondered where they were since castles were only in stories.

There was also a huge mountain, a white mountain, that was bigger than the abandoned mountains back home.

“I don’t think we’re in California any more,” Nike exclaimed.

“Ya think?” Sarah snapped.

To really see what Planet Ecox looks like, I’m going to leave the three Rats and tell you. The castle was on the left and around it was a forest that you’d expect to get lost in. Across the greenest meadow was another castle, which was lighter and more cheery. On the other end of the meadow was a long building with one tree in front of it,Wich is the wolves’ house . Then, if you go all the way back to the mountain, in the distance, you could see the smoke from the city.

Planet Ecox is a flat planet with one mountain. It is not like a desert either, though it does have a fire hot desert. The country is a foresty place with grass as green as…Well it is green enough to make your eyes water. The sky is as blue as the bluest ocean in the world. There are about 8 meadows and the rest is forest or other things. That was only the beginning and the outside of Ecox.

So now you can see why the three stood there gaping at the planet until a native named Sapphire, a red dragon that knows everything and is everything on the planet, went up to them to see who they were. Oh yea, Sapphire’s a human.

“Who are you?”

“Huh?” Jake said.

“Names?” Sapphire said patiently.

“The Alley Rats… I mean Nike, Jake, and Sarah,” Nike answered.

“I’m Sapphire” Sapphire said. “Are you from the city?”

“Yes. I mean, on California,” Sarah said.

“California, huh?” Sapphire said.

“Wait, I’ve heard about you from this traveler named Sloan,” Sarah said, surprised.

“Sloan is a big mouth, but I like him. He was banished from here a year ago.” Sapphire said.

Secretly, Sarah started to understand Sapphire. She knew the King’s name, Lion, and the other castle is King’s Castle where King Tane reigned and now his son Syde is training to rule.. Sapphire’s parents were a pirate Mom and a dark masician Dad, with Lion as her step-dad. Her sister is Alyra and her big brother is Trin. Sapphire is friends with everyone on the planet and had tons of adventures, which are too much to count.

“Sapphire, a guard in the doorway of Lion’s Castle said, Lion wants you.”

“Oh bother Wolfgang! Lion never wants me to leave his sight!” Sapphire said to the guard, and walked toward the 10-foot doors in the dark castle. The Alley Rats decided to stay with her until they returned to Earth, which they thought was light years away.

In the castle, there were 100 rooms, Sarah calculated, while Jake and Nike studied the dark faces of the King’s subjects. Sapphire seemed to know each one and called them by name, which is obvious if you have been on Planet Ecox 3,013 years. Then when the mighty King saw Sapphire, he hugged her like a father. Lion had black hair with dark brown eyes and had light skin and was a little taller than Sapphire and had on a black t-shirt and jeans.

“Lion, these are my new friends, Nike, Jake, and Sarah,” Sapphire said.

“Sapphire, your mother’s first mate wants you,” Lion said.

“Darnit! What did he say to Rev now?,Sappire said while she marched away.

Lion said to the three, “We protect Sapphire very carefully here, and a rule is, he who hurts Sapphire will be imprisoned or put to death,” Lion explained. When he saw the fear in the Rats’ eyes, he strode away.

“People are very cheerful here.” Jake talked for the first time. “We should go.”

“This world is magic and fantasy. Really, We should keep a journal when we go to planets so we could see what they’re made of,” Sarah explained.

“Then run to the safe, boring Earth, which means… Let’s get out of here!” Nike said fearfully.

“I’m with you!” Jake said.

“We’re definitely coming back,” Sarah put in.

“Yeah, whatever,” Nike said.

They then realized that they did not know how to go home.”Rats !”Nike said.

Chapter 6
Kings caste

The alley rats looked around the meadow. No one was around. Then, Jake got the idea of going to kings catle and seeing what that’s like. So, the three rats walked to the catsle, but got stopped by the bored looking guards. “Halt!”said the left guard. The guard who had spoken had a gray shirt and black pants. The rats stood there waiting to be prisoners of this castle like in books.
Instead, the guard led them to the king-in-training. Sarah had hoped on meeting Syde in another way, but this was fine for Jake and Sarah, and surprisingly Nike too. The room the guard led them into was big and was like the thrown room in the forbiden catsle, only it was lighter and the floor was marble. Syde was sitting on his thrown, looking very interested indeed. Syde looked at his guard and said in a mediem voice, “ Is the dongean still closed down?”
“Yes, ever since the last king was taken off we haven’t been looking after this catsle”
“your certen their from Earth?’’
“Yes sir”
“I really need to talk to Sapphire more often”Snyde said, then he told his guard to send them to Miguel Who was in the other room and then Miguel transported them to Boring Earth.

Chapter 7
The Secret Fort

After Zed and Zeppy were grounded, they found a fort that they thought they could use to pass time in. They called it the secret fort. The fort was made up of tree wood and it looked like a cabin, except nicer than here. It also had a computer that told you about all the planets in the universe. They had Zeppy’s space craft hidden below the cabin in the place they call “dungeon.”

Zed, Zippy, and Zide named their club the Galaxstarous Le Threeis, aka, the Three Gallatic Stars. The Three Stars were on the edge of having a club war with the Western Mists. Why? Because the Mists had insulted the beautiful bird the fang flipper. Zed was also angry because the galactic civil war had started when they were suspended (grounded). That’s what their father said at Forbidden Castle. So, as I said, the Stars were preparing for the war between the clubs. The clubs called it The War the Changes Fire. There is a story behind that name. I will tell it to you while the Stars are preparing. One more thing, the Three Galltic Stars didn’t build the fort, they found it. With the computer inside. So, here’s the short story.

Club wars have been going on since anyone could remember. Fire had been noticed at an unidentified date, so to say, it’s been going on forever. Fire destroys, war destroys. Matching cards. If you pick a fire card you lose. It you pick a war card, I’m sorry to say, you lose. Fire cannot change its flames to any color. Nor do anything. Just live. Spread and enjoy. That’s why club wars are called the wars that change fire. The wars change everything, just like on Earth.

So, the three Stars were finally ready for war. The mists had their lasers filled with blue ice ready to destroy the Stars’ souls. The Stars had their beam ray guns filled with lots of light to take the Mists’ club for part of their own territory.

This was just like the real war with armies and galaxies, except smaller and it wasn’t copying. Just destroying.

Manwhile Earth was having a jolly good time not knowing any of it. Thanks to some Zedpolions I will not mention. There was no hope for Microopolis and it’s neighbor, Ecom. Earth just thought the lights were stars exploding gases and blah, blah, blah. (It was really ships exploding in the galactic civil war.)

Chapter 7
The Dragons

Now, where would a story like Zed’s go without some dragons? Turns out, dragons have a huge part in this war. (I mean the Galactic Civil War). Dragons have an interesting story. When they gave up on Earth, they made a galaxy of their won and called it the Mistic Wing Galaxy, which has 6 planets that are filled with interesting creatures, some evil, some not.

The planet that the dragons live on is Planet Red. (Stands for fire). As Zed would say, “Sometimes it is good to tell the details; sometimes it is good to get to the darn point!” Anyway, the dragons are on our side, which is great since the Galaxy of Galactic Lights, and the Mistic Wing galaxy, and 2 other galaxies are losing (BAD!).

There are 6 war dragons. Flame, who is the King’s dragon, Lithe’a, a green dragon, Badger, a black dragon, and Carth, a gray dragon who is Lithe’a’s brother, and finally SaphI, a blue dragon. All of these are vicious fighters, but kind at heart. Except Dagon. He is a leader and is a white dragon, which are most powerful. He flies like a dagger at war, and is a dagger to his enemies. Trust me, you’ll get to know more about them later. Fang, the fang flipper is of course there, with a phoenix for good luck. They watch the war at a safe distance. They made up a game to play with since they get bored. Here is one of their shows/broadcasts/things:

Phoenix: Hello folks! Here we are again at the top of the luck tree looking down on this war. Back to you, Fang!

Fang: Thanks Pheni! This war is dreadful! I wish I had some snacks. This is so thrilling.

Phoenix: Fang, can you get on with it?

Fang: Okay. Ships going out of control on the south side. That has got to hurt. I mean burn! Flame the red dragon just fire bombed the south. You can just feel the anger in the south. Back to you Pheni!

Phoenix: I’ve just heard that both sides will take a break for the day. I wonder what the dragon’s done now? Oh well. Back to you Fang! Fang?!

Fang: Huzzah! Dagon just knocked six ships on south side, hitting and end for the day. Hooray!!!!

Phoenix: That’s All! And Fang??

Fang: Yeah??

Phoenix: You’ve got to lay off of those snacks!

Chapter 8
A Poem by the King of Microopolis and Zed

Let’s go back to Earth but first Zed said to tell you this poem. It is his story.

The moon has its silver light
Glowing through the smoke
Even if I went to it
Surely it would be lonely
But, if I stayed standing here.
I would be no more
Because this war’s not helping
Anything but ghosts.

The moon cannot shine, the sun cannot burn
Until this will war is done.
I have to say one more thing, before it gets down to none,
Earth, if you think war is fun, please just tray a galactic war and see how we have to hold a gun!

The moon has its silver light
Glowing through the smoke
Even if I went to it
Surely it would be lonely
But if I stayed standing here.
I would be no more
Because this war’s not helping
Anything but ghosts.

“Silverlight” King of Microopolis

A Poem by Zed

Pretend everything was silver and gold
And life was a pot
Everyone gets mixed in it, whether they liked it or not.
Every silver piece was gold
Every gold piece was silver
It didn’t even matter if were you bronze or pythons
Everything would mix as if it were meant
Everyone would be loving and kind
Nothing would break it apart
Even with a knife.
Equals of color, shape or even size
Living in harmony with one another
Through each other’s eyes
But then life is not like that
Wars, money, and thinking they are better
Are some examples of this.
Maybe there is a way to break through
But until then:
Pretend everything was silver and gold
And life was a pot
Everyone gets mixed in with it
Whether they liked it or not

“Pretend” by Zed

P.S. Remember, some things are good to tell the detail, sometimes it’s good to get to the darn point ~Zed


Chapter 9
Planet Plaquest

“Shhhh! Quiet!” Sarah said to her friends who were behind her. “We’re not going to be able to go see the alley if you keep making noises. We’re almost there!”

Jake looked at Nike like if your siblings are being annoying. They finally arrived at the alley. “What planet are we going to?: asked Nike. “Planet Plaquest for the millionth time!” said Jake. “A Vampire world,” said Sarah. “Whatever.”

Nike pushed the same brick he bumped when they went to Ecox. This time, he touched the Planet Plaquest and everything went white.

Plaquest is a dark, magic planet, which is far away from the important galaxies.The plant is populated with vampires.Of course you know about the magical creatures like dragons, sea monsters, ect? Vampires are just those creatures that are the rare kind that you don’t want to get trapped in a closet with, alone. “The people have sharp teeth to bite into…Uh oh,” Sarah said.

So to explain the “Uh oh” to Jake and Nike, a vampire with with red eyes came up to them in an unfriendly way.

You all know the scary stories where a vampire comes up to a person who isn’t looking, and sucks their blood? Actually if you get to know these vampires you will understand what would happen next. They just want to have more vampires, all right?

“Hello,” the vampire hissed. “Where did you come from?”

“Uh…from…er..”Nike stuttered.

“Far away,” Sarah said hurriedly.

“I’m Zircon, Hunther Zircon,” Zircon said.

“Hello, Hunther Zircon!” Nike said, smiling.

“Please, call me Zircon,” Zircon hissed. “Any last words?”

“Huh?” said Jake and Sarah. Zircon suddenly lurched forward, showing his teeth. A boy jumped in front of them. “Stop, father! Can’t I at least have a few human friends?”

Father? Sarah thought. Zircon stopped and looked away toward the surrounding dark mountains. “I told you son, not to interfere with my business,” Zircon seriously said, and hovered off.

“You’ve got to stay away from everybody guys. Do you know what happens to people?”

“Father? A vampire is your father?” Sarah asked.

“Yeah, being the only human here is pretty weird, yet nobody can bite me since Zircon is my father,” he said. “Hey, you guys alright?”

Jake and Nike looked pretty bad. They were green and were going to fall if Sarah let go.

“What’s your name?” Sarah asked.

“Tropez,” he said. “Let me transport you to a place I know. If anyone asks, say Tropez sent us.

“Okay,” Sarah said. Then Tropez said, “Eneth e threeith o Microopolis!”

And everything went black.

Chapter 10
The Star Rats

The three Rats landed on Microopolis on their backs. They had landed by the secret fort, and three boys with three fingers were staring down at them.

“That must have hurt, you landed on my beam ray!” Zeppy said, angrily.

“Who are you?” Zed asked.

“I’m Sarah, this is Jake, and Nike,” Sarah explained.

“Who sent you?” Zide said, suspiciously.

“Tropez,” Jake said wearily.

“Tropez.” Zeppy said. “I miss him.”

“You’re just in time to help us with this club war against the Western Mists,” Zed said. “What’s your club’s name?”

“The Alley Rats,” Nike said.

“Perfect! The Star Rats! That’s our name now. Come on! Hurry!!” Zide exclaimed.

So each Star Rat had a beam ray and a position on the war field, in the middle of a nearby forest. Then the Western Mists came.

The Mists’ leader was a teenager, as in like about 16, and had a dark face that fit the war. All the Mists had laser beams. Also the leader’s name was Drac Opal, but everyone called him Drac. (He’s Tropez’s evil brother but he and Tropez are best friends). Drac Opal was part vampire and part human, since his father is Zircon and his mother is human. So it was obvious who yelled, “Charge!”

The two sides collided. Lasers were going crazy while rays were hitting the target. The Star Rats were winning. Six hours later, the Mists surrendered. Why? Because the Mists had more bruises and burns, and their clothes were torn. Drac was worse.

“What…do…you…want…” he panted.

“We want to rule you,” Zed said with pride.

Drac Opal snarled. The other Mists were angry and waited for their leader’s answer. The Star Rats were looking pleased. Drac decided he couldn’t think of a fight and a deal is a deal.

“Fine,” Drac said, and stomped away with the Mists.

The Star Rats celebrated with a group hug, and Microopolis’ famous drink, the Fizzy Ice 1000.

“Do we have to change our name again?” Nike asked.

“Nope, but now we are a club empire, and the Mists have to do what we say since we won.” Zed explained.

“So that’s why Drac was mad,” Jake said.

“Yep!” Zeppy said.

“This couch is nice,” Nike randomly said.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Southerners!” Zide whispered.

“We know you kids are in there! We’ve come to make you prisoners of the galactic civil war. We are the Southern army of the galaxies of evil, which want to take over…Well just come out or we’ll kill ya!” said one Southerner.

The Star Rats opened the door and stepped out. There were four Southerners with machine guns, who tied the 6 Stars hands together.

“We’re not going home for a long time,” whispered Nike.

“Ya think?” whispered Sarah.

Chapter 11
The Southern Captors

Where the Southern army men took the Star Rats was a long brown building just under the civil war. Then they put them in what on Earth they would call a cell with a window on the top so you can see the war. They called it dende’. So Zed, Zide, Zeppy, Jake, Sarah, and Nike were stuck there with no escape. Wonderful.

A week later, Zed lost it. Being laughed at by the Southern captors was the last straw. He yelled for the war dragons (it’s supposed to work every time):
“Flame, Lethe’a, Carth, Badger, SaphI, DAGON!!!!!”

Suddenly, the roof broke through and the six dragons saved the Star Rats, and took them to the Northern Base.

What happened to the Southerners? Well, they got dagged from Dagon! Let’s just say they were never seen again. Not that they are dead, just that, well… they are at the end of the universe.

The Stars then realized what they had to do. Save the Northerners from this war and get peace with them again.

First, they had to take a nap.

Chapter 12
Tropez

While Tropez was doing his homework, his father came in the room.

“I’ve talked to your brother,” Zircon said.

“Really? How is he with his club?” Tropez answered, eyes still on his homework.

“His club has been taken over by the Star Rats,” Zircon said, losing his temper. “If you would have helped him, he wouldn’t be suffering from burns!” Zircon yelled.

“Was it that bad?” Tropez said.

“I command you to go help your big brother!!” Zircon bellowed.

“Okay, okay father,” Tropez said instantly. “Mier, transport me to Drac please.”

“Yes, Tropez,” Mier the black cat said. Tropez then vanished from Zircon’s sight.

Zircon’s wife appeared from the kitchen. “Dear, I’ve made your favorite drink,” she said.

“Honey, the boys are on Microopolis and I’m afraid that those Zedpolions will hurt them,” Zircon wearily said.

“I’m sure they will be fine, they always come back,” she said.

“You’re right,” Zircon said, and went to the kitchen.

Tropez saw his brother weak on a bed in the Mists’ hollow club house. The mists were gone except their weak leader. Drac had gotten worse since the war. Tropez then had thoughts of revenge. He was going to hurt the Star Rats like they hurt Drac. When he told Drac this, his big brother smiled.

“I appreciate the thought, but it would go against the contract,” Drac said. “But…No. I won’t allow it!” Drac demanded.

Tropez sat on the end of the bed. “I don’t know what to do,” Tropez complained.

“When I’m better, we’ll figure this out together,” Drac promised.

Three weeks later, Drac was able to walk. “Sir, I think you need to hear this,” Sty said to Drac. It was a Weekly News and it said:

Six kids have been at the Northern Base for 4 weeks They have been planning to save the north and restore peace. The dragons have been helping since they saved the kids three weeks ago from the south. When the kids got there, the war was going nicely for the north.

Then the news went on to clothes.

“Wow!” Tropez said.

“Those are the Star Rats, Sir,” said Sty.

Drac went to the closet in the tree and handed his little brother a laser beam and said, “Let’s go help the Star Rats restore peace!”

“Yea!” said the seven who were Mists. Then they marched toward the Northern Base.

Chapter 13
Vampires No More

Zircon faced a problem. To save Planet Plaquest or have the people be turned into humans. Zircon wished his sons were home. His wife spends all her time in the kitchen. The way the problem came to be is this: Zircon was experimenting in his lab. The experiment was to turn vampires into any animal they liked. (He was a dark magician that invented the Plague.) Well, the experiment didn’t exactly turn out. The rock turned into liquid Which meant that vampires would turn into humans if he didn’t think of a solution. Or else.
If all the vampires were humans, planet Plaquest would explode. Well, good thing the boys are safe. Zircon looked to the dark black mountains that covered the planet. I’m really going to miss the life, universe, everything… Especially this wonderful planet.

Zircon then pushed the red button. He was the first one to be turned to human. Then gradually, so did the million vampires turn to humans.

You have to just feel everyone on the planet say, “Hey!”

Then Plaquest shook.

Chapter 14
Destruction of Planet Plaquest

You should have seen the forest of fire on Plaquest! The dark mountains looked darker than it was thought possible.

Then everything went silent. Silent as darkness. So, so silent that you could hear the air moving around you.

Then it happened.

The planet shook and it got to be a planet quake. Then the planet exploded into tiny pieces.

Tropez and Drac saw it and watched it die. Actually the whole Northern Base watched it. If you would have see it, you would have thought it was a sad firework in space. Then, like every time a planet dies, there was a space in the sky. Then the pieces turned into a black hole.

Drac said, “Well, at least vampires are on our side.”

“Why? I thought the planet exploding would have killed them,” Sarah asked.

“There is Planet Plaquest II that they could go to since vampires are immortal,” Tropez explained.

“Nike, what are you doing with that laser?” Drac asked.

“Seeing if Lithe’a’s fire works in there,” Nike happily said.

“No… Nike…put that down,” Tropez said to Nike.

Ka-Pow! Beams shot out of the laser gun. The beams hit a Southern ship that was coming toward the base.

“Oops!” Nike said. “It works.”

“Wonderful,” Drac said, and went off to Sarah who had the plan set out.

Jake and the Zedpolions were over on the other side of the base and they were talking to a South prisoner and were doing pretty bad.

Tropez could hear, “What were you doing when you were in your ship?”

Tropez decided to follow his brother, leaving Nike alone with his discovery.

“It worked!” was the last thing he heard from Nike that day. Actually, it was the only thing Nike said all day.

Chapter 15
The War’s End

Ten weeks later, there was finally hope that the North was going to win, thanks to the two clubs. Drac was showing off his sharp teeth to the prisoners and Jake and the others had gotten better at talking to the prisoners. They didn’t.

The dragons were, you might say, at their fiercest, if that was possible.

Sarah and Drac and Tropez talked to the captain and bothered him continuously.

“How come Ecom and Ecox are not helping”

“I’m hungry.”

“Why can’t we be in the war and shoot too?”

Those were the questions that got on the war captain’s nerves. So when he heard that war’s almost over, he was gratefully relieved.

The last fight was horrible and wonderful at the same time. The two clubs were shooting the cannons on the slide lines while the army was shooting lasers. I bet the dragons had the most work and fun as anybody there.

The last play was Dagon and that was it for the South. They finally surrendered. The North was really tired, so they took a looong nap. I almost forgot, the prisoners were sent to Ecox where they are pirates.

Chapter 16
Right There

I was there when Zed and Zeppy were grounded, when the Alley Rats went to the Planet Ecox (my favorite). Also, I was there when the North had their victory.

My name is Amethist and I am a Fang Flipper and Fang’s sister. I travel and pick people to follow. I wrote this story from a bird’s view.

Zed, after the war’s victory, told me to write this story from beginning to end.

But I wondered, was this story of 6 friends just starting, not ending?

So, the Mists were friends with the Star Rats, but used to be enemies, and peace where there used to be war.And I was right there. Right there, with it all.

Chapter 17
The Beginning of Beginnings

After the wonderful celebration, Sarah, Nike, and Jake had to go home, or else they’d be grounded even longer than their lives. (Turns out the parents of the children didn’t because of me.) So, there was hugging and crying from Sarah. Drac and Tropez privately said to her that she has to come to their house alone. The Zedpolions were crying together because knowing that your friends that have been with you several weeks are leaving for at least a month is harsh.

So, then all three alley Rats held hands and said, “Let’s go back to Earth,” and everything went white.

Back home, the Alley Rats found me in their alley. “Nice story,” I said.

“What?” Nike said.

“I’ve been with you the whole time, and the story of 6 kids from two different planets helping restore peace and seeing what friendship really means with different people is a great short story,” I said. Then I went to my home on Microopolis.

“Well this has been a great two months. Thanks to us finding this alley,” said Sarah.

“It might not be the end of the adventures,” Jake said fearfully. “Look!”

At the end of the alley was an alien ship. “Oh boy,” said Nike.

It was Zed’s ship. “Yep, you’re right Jake,” Sarah said. “This may be the beginning of beginnings.”

Then they went home leaving Zed’s ship shining in the moonlight, for tomorrow.

As I said in the beginning of this story , there is a different story to every world there is. Some times the story can be terrifying, or wondeful.

You never know.

The End

Or is it?
