What you are about to read is a living, breathing story that was written by actual students. I provided a setting, they provided the characters.
We embarked on a dangerous voyage into unknown space to face a mysterious threat.
This is our story.
CHAPTER ONE The Begining
Well this is it, the start of the 24 hours I will record my journey in secret but this is just the start. I look at the Asairi village where I shared my dreams ,my life and my hope.But it’s all over I might not live to tell the tale.I walk down the street eat some of the amazing food here and stare at my home. 3 hours in:It’s been two hours, I walk down a steep hill where I call home. While I just can’t stop thinking will I make it? 5hours in: I’ve decided to stop being a pessimist and to look ahead. I drank a cup of water and went to bed after stressful hours. 10 hours in: I can't believe I slept for 5 hours and woke up in the middle of the night. I just can't fall asleep.11 hours in: I have decided im going for a walk I walk around my house and start playing video games.18 hours in I did I finished all the video games I had now I can nap. 20 hours in: It was time to pack. I packed my tool box, my computer and my clothing.21 hours in: I made my way to the teleporter to teleport to earth.Finally I looked back said bye in a note to my mom and dad (not telling them about the mission) and thought to myself goodbye my lovely village.24 hours in I am to launch.
My character is only there because his friends and his mom told him to. He is always scared and is a coward. He likes earth and doesn’t like space. His last day was playing on his minecraft server and worrying about space and saying goodbye to friends and his mom. He didn't need to pack anything because he brought everything the day before.
I am an 8 feet turian scientist with red fur that likes trees and torture weapons and is 127 years old.
Today is a rather weird day. It started when I got a secret message from the space federation saying that I, from the ARK spaceship, got chosen to participate in a super-secret mission to go to space also, on the back of the letter mentioned had one last day on earth. So first I packed my only clothes my shoes, next, I made myself some food and burned it in honour of Zeus for good luck. Once I was finished I checked my watch and realized in surprise that I had 10 minutes left, so I rushed to the federation space station as fast as possible. Kevin
Homework *WARNING: Very dramatic and stupid. Brain cell loss may occur *
About Ethan Ethan The Asari is just as social as any other living creature, being able to speak and understand Asari and humans,. People tend to describe him as “All brain no brawn”. When it comes to problems he strives to find a loophole that doesn’t include any physical activity due to his stupidity in putting all his credits into brain cells, Ethan has also adored high tech since he was in childhood. Ethan’s age is surprisingly unhuman, being 160 years old and only 16 in human years, as in what Ethan looks like, he is pitch black covered in large neon green spots. He has also always wondered about travelling into space, calling it an “Endless Journey”. Now chosen as the ship’s scientist, he may travel into the great wonders…
The Last Day On Earth This was it, the last day on Earth. Ethan hadn’t done much other than pack supplies for the voyage, the last thing he took before leaving was a small device for games, the game on his device was a space game called Among us! Soon Ethan and his fellow shipmates joined him. Knowing that this was a major expedition and it was rare to pull off such a big mission. They knew they all had to succeed, but also knowing that they will most likely encounter things beyond imagination. However, those “encounters” will be fully revealed sooner or later. At last, this was it, all of his life’s work
has been poured all into one moment. They would either all succeed in glory or fail in the burning flames… … And there was only one way to find out.
Jianyu Yu Jianyu is a very adventurous and brave engineer, she is also looking forward to being rich in the future! but you never know her, sometimes she hides her feelings, and sometimes she gets mad or upset easily… DAY 1: By: Jianyu It was an early morning when Jianyu was eating her pancake breakfast, she went to pour herself some fresh milk into her white shiny cup. Then the doorbell rang without any sounds of footsteps, but she ran over to open the door anyways. Nobody was there, but on the floor there layed a bright yellow envelope secured with lots of tape. Jianyu opened the envelope with a scissor, because she didn’t bother trying to peel the tape off. In the envelope it said that she had to go for a secret mission on the ARK and this was her last day on earth before going on this mission! Jianyu likes to do everything very quick, but eventually she does not end up packing her stuff for the secret mission very fast because she keeps thinking about the secret mission. it's already noon when Jianyu finally finished packing and she was sitting on the kitchen table drinking some tea she had brought from China a month ago, looking at the tea leaves that were dark green, almost black. The leaves have very small details on them, just like the small details she had throughout her life. Suddenly Jianyu just remembered this is the last day on earth before the mission and she has to leave tomorrow! Jianyu quickly packed some water and food in a bag and decided to go hiking at Lions Hiking Trail. when she got there, the parking lot was already full, but the good thing is she came here in a Taxi, so she doesn’t have to mind parking at all! When she got in the hiking area, she just walked along the path. According to her “high tech watch” she calls, she has walked 2 kilometers already! She kept walking and she ended up not knowing which path was the right way so she used a map. It's been like 1 hour or more and Jianyu still hasn’t found the way back, so she decided to walk out of the trail, onto the sidewalk. when Jianyu got there she checked her “high tech watch” and bursted out “I’ve already walked 9 kilometers!” At that time she felt her legs were soft, her lungs were dry, and she felt exhausted! She sat on the grass, and if you don’t know, she is always very positive and as I said, the next thing she said was “ Hey, at least I had fun.”
When Jianyu got home it was already night and she should sleep but since her parents were on a short vacation and she was old enough to stay home herself she probably won’t bother sleeping and will sleep very very late, but she did not. she was very tired and exhausted from that long walk, so she had a quick bath and brushed her teeth, and quickly went to sleep...
CHAPTER TWO Encounter in the Violet Nebula
Maxwell
Intro Humanity has reached other galaxies and befriended two alien species, the Turians and the Asari, who can communicate telepathically . Drakarians however, remain hostile. I accompany two other ships the twin ship(it has been made in the same time and same model) and the flagship As I woke up to the sound of mirthless laughter, some guy’s name I couldn’t remember was laughing about the captain’s(Miranda and asari who’s really scary) plan or something like that. When I(reluctantly because if i do it i’ll get punished) and a lot of people went to meet her to see what was going on. The admiral came in and said there was an opportunity to end the cold war to the Drakarians and shows a map about the demilitarized zone between the federation(humans, Asari and the turians)and the Drakarians.She shows a message which translated says an SOS message in the middle the the demilitarized zone so we went because the reason of the Drakarians being stronger than us in every way, and they are about 19 feet tall, have claws for hands and other stuff,and if they wage war us us we will probably lose ao we have to find a way to make peace and we went into slip space(stuff that sucks you into a wormhole and you go back out somewhere else Drakarians can’t use this so I am safe) this stuff doesn’t make me feel good so I was puking half the time and hoping I don’t die after that we went the the head the security, Brutus whos a Turian , a very by the rules by the guy. Gertude who is a human, the grandfather sort of guy(would have thought that would be a girl's name) the head of communications and Gideon a human, the guy who flies the spaceship. Miranda doesn’t like that guy. Miranda said to fly the spaceship into the SOS point and we went out of the wormhole in a dust storm, the dust is a magnetic field . “The communications don’t work but we can communicate telepathically ” Miranda said. As we went down to the ground we saw a big ship on fire (which doesn’t make sense since we are in space) I obviously didn’t want to go but Miranda forced me because we might have to fix the ship but that doesn’t make sense. Everyone except Gertrude went in a small shuttle into the big ship with three other ships. As we went inside we realized the walls could bleed. We went into a big room and a big pinching noise happened. Naturally I ran back down the hallway to the ship. Next thing I knew everyone was chased by Drakarians and the ship was damaged when we flew back. The ship that went on fire was now fully functional and blasted a green light and made us move backwards but someone made us stop. Captain Keith made the green light only hit only their ship and he is probably dead. After that we went to the big ship and Miranda told everyone to man their battle stations for a battle.
Once I got to the space station I was a bit late so by the time I got there everyone was talking about some kind of S.O.S message from a Drakarian ship, so after I just asked a few people and got onto the ship I was on The ARK. Once i got onto the ARK we immediately began going into slipstream and after 5-10 minutes i began to see a purplish dust that was breaking our communications but the alori telekinesis was still fine and after asking the engineers they said it was metallic bet they didn't know what it was but,after a few more minutes the communication was better and we could see some giant cocoon like thing.The cocoon-like thing that I assumed was the spaceship that the drakarians used, one part of the cocoon was also on fire which was weird as fire couldn’t burn space as there was no air. When the navigator tried to find somewhere to park the wall opened up releasing some type of yellowish goo and allowing the navigator to park the ARK in.After the navigator finished parking the spaceship we started going inside me in the middle of course. We started walking through the hallways the whole placed seemed to be almost alive so i grabbed a knife and chipped it onto a dish for collecting samples And a second later the same goo that opened started to flow out and almost melted the dish but the sample was fine.After a bit more walking we came into a bigger room with a really big chair and that's it but then we heard some shuffling on the roof we all looked up and saw a whole lotta eyes staring at us and a few people started to run so i said what do you want from us?But they said nothing until just a bit later they jumped out revealing that we were outnumbered by a lot so everyone started to run someone even tried to throw a knife at one but when she tried take it back she got smashed into a wall but i didn’t care as i was already so close to the spaceship and once everyone got on, we went as fast as possible but everyone could tell that this was trap and they were following us and started to charge some type of laser, and it impaled the other ship but i didn’t chase us after we got out of the demilitarized zone, and we got back safely. Kevin
Day II Encounter in the Violet Nebula Ethan didn’t know what to do when he saw Drakarian ship. It was a sight at first, but all of that vanished when he heard a faint charge coming from the ship, a faint “Voom… VOOM” getting louder by the second, before he could even register what he was seeing there was a “BOOM” and as he watched the laser tear through of the Pillar of Autumn, soon after hearing Captain Keys on coms Ethan was shocked. Ethan could tell the crew’s reactions seeing the doors close on Captain Key’s ship, horror, bitterness, and wonder. Then they heard yet another bellow of sound from the Drakarian ship: “Voom… VOOM” as Ethan realized what was happening.
Day 2:
Encounter in the violet nebula By: Jianyu It was an early morning when Jianyu woke up, She had to go to the central command early. She dressed up and went to the central command. When Jianyu got there, Captain Keys said “good morning” and started the meeting. After the meeting, Jianyu’s journey would begin. Jianyu got on the ARK and soon, she was in space. After a while, there came a buzzing sound, the ship detected an SOS call. They drove the ship over to where the SOS call was, and landed. Jianyu, and some of the other people on the ship, including Miranda, which is the commander of the ship, got off the ship and went toward the detected SOS call. There was this kind of white stuff like fog floating around in the air. Eventually, they stayed there for a little while, but Jianyu couldn't discover what the white stuff was, so they just kept going. When they finally reached there, they saw a ship. “STAY CLOSE” warned Miranda, and everyone went in. The wall in the ship was kind of bumpy. One of the scientists collected some samples, but the wall just melted into goo and then turned into gas, and burnt through the test tube. It was getting a bit scary, and suddenly there came a weird noise. Miranda whispered “I think the noise is coming from the other room, stay close together”. Jianyu took a deep breath and followed the rest of the crew while she took out her pocket knife. The noise was getting bigger and it sounded like it was from the ceiling of the ship. Jianyu went up front and held her pocket knife as she took one step at a time forward. She saw a chair and stood on it so she could be closer to the noise. She was nervous, she could hear her breath and feel her heartbeat as it got faster and faster, and who knows what would just pop out of the ceiling. A piece of the ceiling suddenly fell off, and there were tons of little red eyes staring at her. “ Get back!” yelled Miranda. Jianyu froze, she wanted to be the hero that saved everybody from the little red eyes, but she was scared… Miranda then yelled again “ Get back ! “. And this time Jianyu moved away from the little red eyes. Then, there stood black figures moving towards them. Miranda screamed “ RUN!!! “ . Everyone ran as fast as they could, still the black figures were right behind them. One of the black figures pulled a crewmate on the elbow, and the cloth on the crewmates elbow got burnt through, but he managed to pull himself away from the black figure. The black figure, or the black creature, looked like the same goo that the wall had melted into before, but Jianyu had no time to think. The opening, where they had come in, was closed. So Jianyu threw her pocket knife at one of the black creatures, but the knife went through the creature’s body. Jianyu quickly ran over to her pocket knife so she could get it back, but she got hit by a black creature, and got harmed. She stood up and ran back to the rest of the crew, and when she looked at her pocket knife, the blade was melted. Jianyu really regretted doing that, but somehow the door managed to open, so she ran inside the ARK, and definitely, a fight was about to happen.
CHAPTER THREE Battle with the Cocoon
maxwell SOOO basically when we tried to escape there was a big ship (it was called coco or something) which blew up the second ship, we did some stuff, like shooting the other ship or the big ship bringing out minions to kill everybody. In the middle of the battle there was a drakarian guy trying to breach the ship so somebody opened up the airlock.At the end we retreated because the commander guy who died is still on the ship.
After demolishing the Pillar of Autumn, the cocoon immediately shot at us but we were a bit more and prepared a few shields to take minimal damage.After that we moved forward a bit and the karma did the same but the cocoon did nothing,after a few arguments we aimed at the cocoon and fired a laser at it, but all it did was loosen a few strands of whatever that ship was made of,and i ask Miranda umm you know the goo inside of that ship i asked her, she said yeah what about it?I said umm that goo completely melted my dish soooo I do. We really want that stuff floating near our ship and she said,well keep your distance and don’t get in range of their goo.After some time tried to find a weak point but failed,but Eric came back from somewhere and told us some good news he told that he successfully modified a missile,and once the cocoon seemed almost destroyed he would fire this one and finish it off.After the long wait the cocoon seemed to have attacked us again and what we did was turn to the right and do nothing else.So after much more yelling than necessary we finally face the cocoon and Miranda said bloody hell, next time it shoots at us maybe don’t sit still, and I’m going to help with the repairs. Afterwards, I tried to find some weak points and learned that the docking bay had less defence since things go in and out of them.So i told the captain what i found out but suddenly 2 smaller ships came out of them and when the karma tried to protect the pillar of autumn, the smaller ships were getting closer to us when the Pillar of Autumn started to send escape pods out bet there was no nearby planet picking up from our radar.One of the miniature ships got destroyed when the Karma went up to the ship and blasted it at close range. So then I had the great idea to ram the ship, so that's what we did damaging us a bit but destroying the drakarian ship flinging drackarians all over our ship.After this round evin more slightly larger drackarian ships began coming for us but luckily one of the ships were immediately destroyed by the Karma.The other ship started to get close to us so we aimed at it and shot just barely destroying it,but then two more showed up but we aimed at the cocoon and Eric used his special bomb to destroy the cocoon.After the quick celebration, Miranda yelled it’s not over there are still three small ships left, but the smaller ships quickly flew back to the cocoon and it was a victory for us. Kevin
DAY III Battle with the Cocoon Ethan Things weren’t looking good for the ARK. Just as a ship with a spanking superweapon wasn’t bad enough there had to be little ships of them too, dont talk about our ship shooting the Karma, that was just a big IQ play. However, we did seem to find out that the little ships seemed to be fragile to close combat and blunts. Another close call was when Ethan detected a hostile Drakian, Ethan was extremely curious how the Drakian could survive out of space. Then even more confusing was when seeing the Pillar of Autumn launching their escape pods, all of them knew escape pods would only launch if there was a nearby planet, seeing none on their radar but getting a small disturbance of some “sort”, as they were thinking the Pillar of Autumn started its engine as it rushed into the Cocoon just as they were about to fire their bomb their commander burst in the room with an expression they’ve all never seen, telling them that Captain Keys was still alive on that ship and telling them to stand down made all of them hesitate, losing their possibly final chance to destroy the Cocoon. Suffering from defeat and the loss of the Autumn, we can only limp to safety now.
Well, we were against something stronger than us. My heart was beating .First of all,we moved to the cocoon.one of us got a pocket knife.I wanted to make a pocket knife sword but no one allowed me to.we tried to study the ship several times but it didn’t work.we shot at it a bit and as we successfully located there ships weak spot it sended two smaller ships when we took them out drakairans were all around us so one climbed aboard and we shot it out of space.I made a super bomb and the pillar of autumn tried to run away with escape pods.when we decided to fire two shots and myt special bomb the captain said stop because capitan keys was on that ship and he might be alive so we fled for our lives after our ship exploded.We need to fix our ship and get better weapons.
Battle with the Cocoon By: Jianyu As the ARK drove away, the Drakarians ship, which was the Cocoon, followed closely. The Cocoon was way bigger than the ARK, and it looks like the Cocoon has super weapons that are very dangerous. Both ships stopped flying, and the ARK turned around and was ready to begin the battle. The Cocoon turned toward the ARK, and was beaming red light, then it shot at the ARK, it only hit the top of the ARK, however, the ARK did get damaged. In the ARK, the crewmates would vote to decide which way to drive the ship, and it had to be quick. The ARK moved forwards, then repaired itself. The Carma, which is the twin of the ARK, moved forward, and fired towards the Cocoon. It was obvious that the Cocoon did not want to move, or fire. Miranda, which is on the Carma, commanded the ARK to move right, then fire. The Cocoon did not get damaged, but strips fell off the outside of the Cocoon. One of the Engineers on the ship had made a special bomb while everyone was discussing what to do, and when the crewmates saw the bomb, the engineer and them decided to use the bomb when it was time. Jianyu said “ That bomb is pretty special. We should use it when we get closer to the Cocoon so it will do more damage to the Cocoon “, and everyone agreed. Again, the Cocoon is beaming light, but this time it’s not red light, it’s a very bright yellowish light. As the beaming yellow light pointed toward the ARK, the crewmates on the ARK started panicking. Gidien, the navigator turned right trying to avoid getting hit at the same time the crewmates on the ship decided to fire, and it shot at the Carma. Miranda on the Carma yelled at the speaker “ WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU GUYS DOING!!!!! “ Gideon frozenly asked “ Did I turn at the wrong time? “, nobody answered but thankfully the ARK only shot the side of the Carma. Suddenly, two small black ships that looked like spiders shooted out of the yellow light on the Cocoon, then it was beaming red light just as the Cocoon had done before, and it shot. It was aiming right at the centre of the ARK but Gideon moved the ship just in time even though it still scraped the ARK. The next move the ARK made was moving towards the small ship and fired. It did hit the small ship and the small ship shattered, but the other one noticed and moved itself back to the Cocoon. Just when all that happened Jianyu managed to go to the storage room and found herself two guns, after finding that stuff she ran back and rushed just in time when Gideon looked surprisingly outside the window. Jianyu asked him “ What’s outside? “, squeezed over to look, and had a surprising look on her face too. She asked “ Why would escape pods leave the Pillar of Autumn, we haven't detected any land yet“.
Just so you know, the Pillar of Autumn is a spaceship on the ARK’s side, Captain keys is also in there, and the escape pods are a kind of pods that fly off to space when it detects land. Since the escape pods flew away, the ARK, Carma, and the Pillar of Autumn followed them, and the Cocoon did not chase after again. The ships finally landed on land, and all they need to do now is get ready for the next fight...
CHAPTER FOUR Fool's End
That was scary. While we rode beside the escape pods we found a planet that was kind of an asteroid. When we did we had a meeting on what to do next.The obstacles we face and fear is saving captain keys and getting back.Our priorities are getting home, making something to get back and saving captain keys.When we got on the planet we were greeted by a strange person who called himself Algar the Amazing.We found a place called “fools end” It seemed to be a restaurant me and ethan scoped the area while miranda ate food we couldn’t pay for.when we came back miranda was talking to a strange man he turned out to be her relative.He told us about his repair shop so we decided to get money and fix our ship.
After the battle everyone on the ship decided to take a nice long rest while our injuries healed,and the ARK has been cruising through the purple sand at a moderate speed for a while without interruption,and finally the engineers have been working incredibly hard to fix the ship as it was damaged almost to destruction,And while miranda was explaining slipspace and how to fix it as it was installed only on the Pillar of Autumn, i was thinking of how we could land,and/or what we would meet there, and almost right after the ship said that we were getting closer to this planet, and we land shortly after gideon successfully lands the ship on a giant smooth iron meteorite.We figured that the meteorite was so smooth that anything less dense than iron would be slowly wiped off, and only the iron part was dense enough to withstand the purple sand.Once we landed we decided that me and maxwell would stay back and help with repairs while the rest of them put on their spacesuits and went out,So after a bit of fixing basically everyone was asleep, then i woke up to next to some half finished soup while a a metal sound like ping ping ping ceeer playing in a different room and went to check.After quietly following the sound it led me to the shuttle bay, and I looked through the window and saw some turians breaking our wall with a plasma torch.The turians that broke our wall were wearing black spacesuits with blood pack engraved in the front in turian, and so i did the most reasonable thing I opened the door threw a bowl at them hit one in the face, quickly locking the door and running off.After that incident I quickly ran off telling everyone to wake up we have intruders, and over the PA gertrude said everyone wake up it seems we are being invaded, Battlestations everyone. Kevin
Fool’s End By: Jianyu After the ARK and the Carma got connected again, Miranda, Jianyu, and a few other people put on the spacesuits and stepped out of the ships. This planet’s surface was very bumpy. When you jump, you jump pretty high, and when you get down from jumping it’s like slow motion. As Miranda tried to say “Does anyone know wha-” she got interrupted by Gertrude, who is the Communicator. Gertrude is an old grandma with white hair, she usually just stays in the ship because she’s not that tough. Gertrude said, “After some scanning and research from the scientists, we discovered that this planet is pretty small. It only takes 1 hour to walk around this whole planet”. Miranda nodded, and said, “Oh, well, then it probably will be easy to travel around here“. “So now we need to fi-” Jianyu tried to say but got interrupted by Miranda. “We need to find somebody to get materials to fix the ship, and we also need to fix our portal thingy,” Miranda said. Jianyu asked “What portal thingy?” Gertrude replied “The portal thingy is what we use to get around from earth to other places, if we don’t use it, we will take exactly 3 years and 3 days to get back to earth,” and Miranda continued “We don’t have enough food and water for that long of a trip so we have to fix the portal thingy”. Jianyu said, “Wow, that's pretty long”. The crew kept walking, or more of a jump and Gertrude headed back to the ships.
Then, a creature with two other creatures behind him stopped them and said “What are you doing on my planet?” Miranda told the creatures that they were friendly visitors and found out that this creature is the King of this planet, and his name is Algar the Amazing. He seems to be an Arsari, which is a very quiet and calm creature (or alien if you think so) in outer space, the same as Miranda. Miranda started to trust Algar the Amazing so she told him what happened with their ship and also told him about the attack from the Cocoon. Algar the Amazing also seemed to trust Miranda so he led us to a restaurant, called Fool’s End, but it was more like a bar. The bar had dining places, a fighting pit, and a stage. Algar asked, “You probably don’t have cheebo, do you? By the way, cheebo is a kind of money that we use here”.
Miranda replied, “We don’t have any cheebo”. Algar then said, “You can go ask gleebo for cheebo, and he will give you some, but he expects you to pay it back”. Miranda said “Sure, thank you”, but at last, the crew did not decide to borrow money from gleebo. Jianyu went to the bathroom while the others were thinking about how to get cheebo, and on the way, she spotted Asari and Turians (the Turians are also a kind of “ alien creature ” if you wish), and she also spotted a creature that looked like a Drakarian! Jianyu quickly rushed past and went to the bathroom. After Jianyu got back from the bathroom she saw an Asari sitting beside Miranda and talking to her. The Asari had light blue fur just like Miranda. Miranda said, “Jianyu, this is my cousin, and this is Jianyu, one of our excellent engineers”. Jianyu could see that Miranda was not very comfortable with her cousin.
DAY IV Fool’s End Ethan It was a hard landing for everyone, Ethan joined the explore team out of the two decisions: Explore or repair. Later they were all shocked with lifeforms, finding an unusually short Turian named “Algar the Amazing”. Ethan talked them into lending some materials, however, he was still unsure about Algar saying “If you’re worthy”. After being brought and blown away yet again by what Algar described as “The Fool’s End”, their captain just lost it, Ethan tried to warn her but she seemed to be fixed on what she was doing. After he and Eric inspected most of the Fool’s end, they met yet another person at his table deemed to be their captain relative, giving them a pretty satisfying goal they now knew what they were up to… or were they?
Maxwell At the end of the battle everyone is in escape pods, I thought, even though some people might not agree I definitely agreed with Miranda with not shooting the cocoon(now I knew that), it was already not able to move so it is stuck in space. The captain called us on the main deck. Miranda told us that the slip space drive (Hyperspeed in the old movie called Star Wars) was damaged, if we didn’t use it we would take 3 years. She also told us we would have to build a new ship or at least a new slip space drive. I thought that the Drarkarians’ minions would have come by now but we have long range sensors. As we landed on the planet (due to the escape pods) I realised it was just a really big shiny asteroid. The shiny parts are iron ,as Ethan(a scientist) said. As we put on the spacesuits, we met some other guys, and another captain came. As Miranda said, there were some radio waves somewhere, and suddenly a static noise almost made me take my helmet off and a guy named Algar the Great/Amazing the small turian said they were going to help us fix the ship. As his voice was scary I threw the wrench(stupidly) at him which was too short. As he didn’t see me do that he told us to follow him so I obviously(as Algar was scary) stayed behind. Over the next few hours, me and other engineers are fixing the ship, and we are nearly done and I went to sleep early.
CHAPTER FIVE Fool's End: Get a Job!
As I wake up, I want to run from the turians who invaded our ship, we try to contact the ship but we can’t contact the people who went to explore the short guy, (I can’t remember his name) apparently, and we go to the armory and get a nice sword and some rifles. We start the battle and we are losing very badly. They made poison gas and I pass out, as I come to, I am in jail and a girl gives me a weapon, a long knitting needle, and as I walk out, I see the scary short guy wearing a collar. I fight a guy and I want to surrender, obviously, no one allowed me to surrender, and somehow I win the fight and get some money.
When I looked down at the fighting pit and saw gertrude i was like WHAT, HOW, and then i was like, ok I’m going to bet 20 million cheebo on the old grandma. The second i said that the asari that killed and revived me went, oh so you want a loan? And i replied, yes, so then the asari went alright, just sign here and you will get 20 million cheebo, but if you lose or win you have to pay it back, plus interest.So i bet all my money on gertrude i quickly pulled out my gun, and shot the opponent a few times, just to make sure he was dead but volgarr the unbeatable went HEY YOU, DID YOU JUST SHOOT THAT MAN, he yelled at me with my gun still out and i sayed, i'm just holding it out? And I got picked up by volgarr the unbeatable and he just took my gun and snapped it in half as if it was a slightly melted taffy. When he finally started to move instead of in the stands he dropped me into the pit and told me, MAKE SOME MONEY IN MY ARENA OR PAY THE PRICE OF YOUR LIFE, and that was that, i got sent into the preparation area of the pit and met a few of the crew members such as jianyu and maxwell. Once it was my turn to fight I noticed I had a few cuts and scratches from running from the blood pack and I knew I was already at a disadvantage. Once Volgarr started, I started punching the other guy and tried my best not to die, and after a few lucky punches i won but suffered a lot of damage, and volgarr the unbeatable went here's a fun mini game, if you solve my riddle i heal you back to full health, and i guessed wrong but jianyu guessed right and everyone got healed.

Get a Job! by: Jianyu
“You don’t have any cheebo I guess?”, said Miranda’s cousin. “Yes, we don’t have any cheebo,” replied Miranda. Just then the waiter walked up and asked them if they wanted anything, and Miranda’s cousin ordered a dish. The dish looked like an ice cube dipped in ketchup. “Jianyu, do you want to try one? You’re a human so this dish may be a little weird for you but you might like it” asked Miranda’s cousin. “I’ll try one!” replied Jianyu. Since the ice cube-looking thing was pretty small Jianyu ate it in one gulp. When it got in her mouth she felt spicey ness, along with a cold burn down her throat, and because of her expression, Miranda asked “It can’t be that bad?”, and ate her second one. After a few seconds, when Jianyu exhales, it feels nice and cool inside her mouth, just like when you eat mint-flavored gum, you feel your mouth cooling down when you inhale, but the only difference is Jianyu feels her mouth nice and cool when she exhales. “Does any of you want to get a job to earn cheebo?” asked Miranda’s cousin, and he went on “You can be a waitress/waiter, a chef, you can get tips for singing or playing an instrument on the stage, you can get money for playing poker, if you win a competition in the fighting pit you can also earn money, you can bet on someone in the fighting pit. If you can’t earn money, then you can beg for money, or borrow from gleebo,” and he made his voice smaller and said, “Or you can steal”. Miranda cut in “The last one is a very bad idea” and surely everyone agreed. Miranda’s cousin then said, “Ok, maybe not the last one but you can think about the other ways to get money”. Jianyu thought about being the chef since the fighting pit was too dangerous, she doesn’t have any money to bet or lose, and you might get more money from cooking than singing or playing the instruments. There was one other engineer and one scientist that chose to be a chef too, and their names are Eric and Ethan. The two engineers at the ship decided to come to fool’s end and their names are Maxwell and Kevin. Maxwell chose to go to the fighting pit but it was not opened yet, and Kevin chose to be a waiter.
It went well for Eric and Ethan, but not very well for Jianyu and Kevin. When Jianyu finished serving an Asari lady, the boss gave Jianyu 1000 cheebo, but right after she got the cheebo, the lady yelled “AHHHHHH! There’s a fly in my dish!” and the boss snatched back the 1000 cheebo yelled at her that she was fired, went to the lady to apologize, had to give the lady a refund, and give her a new dish for free. Kevin was carrying a dish to the same lady and went to get his cheebo, but the same thing happened, the lady yelled “AHHHHHH! There’s a fly in my dish!”. The boss yelled, “You’re fired!” when he knew that the lady just wanted to get a free dish. After dealing with the lady the boss said to Kevin and Jianyu “That lady looks rich, you don’t want to get in a mess with her,” Jianyu and Kevin both knew what he meant by that, that lady just wants to get a free dish, and the boss continued “But you guys are still fired because of that customer service of not dealing with that in time and having me to come”. Jianyu then decided to go to the stage to play an instrument, the piano. At first, it went pretty well. she got a total of 3000 cheebo, which is more than cooking. Then a Turian came on the stage to play with Jianyu, and Jianyu could see that he was an experienced musician, and it turned out to be true. The musician quickly found Jianyu’s playing style and added in very smoothly, but because the musician was playing something very complicated, Jianyu went offbeat and got booed off the stage, but thankfully she gets to keep her 3000 cheebo.
DAY V Get a Job! Ethan Everything was good until, well until everything turned bad. The first round as a chef was pretty smooth, and his remake of the “salad special”! However, his luck gave out on the third round, not knowing what caused the fire, yet he took the blame. After nearly being decapitated by a knife, Ethan decided to find a new job. Pickpocketing was a flat no, he could already imagine him a dead Asari if he tried in the fighting pit, playing music wasn’t exactly a tempting idea after seeing that Jianyu nearly getting shot, however, one job caught his eye, Ethan felt more interested in playing cards than the other jobs. Having Cheebo to bet on, he would aim to get money off of playing cards. Now, he could only bet on luck.
We all decided to see what weapons gleebo had. Most of us backed off but I didn’t because I had a pocket knife.There we saw laser guns rifles and lots of insanely strong weapons.We didn’t have cheebo so we didn’t take any after we all decided to be a chef.I was the only one holding on after I didn’t fail once yet.so I saw my crew just stealing and singing but then most of them failed.after on this radio thing started playing what i thought was a news report I heard that maxwell was in the fighting ring but I wasn’t going to stop working so i just listened.huh I wonder if maxwell won.At least I think none of us died after all we need this whole crew to raise enough cheebo.At the restaurant there was not much people most of them went to the arena so I asked my boss and I am waiting for my response.
CHAPTER SIX Fool's End: The Fighting Pits
When in the battle pit I wanted to fight my first opponent and apparently he was a man named Bobby blade hands with bloody blade hands instead of normal hands he had knives so he was way stronger than me, but I just barely beat him with 4 health left. After I went up to my next opponent and saw that it was gertrude, then when I glanced up at the stands I saw the asari that I had gotten a loan from talking with a bunch of people. Once Volgarr the amazing called out, THE NEXT FIGHT WILL BE KEVIN AGAINST GERTRUDE, and I knew that the asari would bet against me because he knows that I was on the same ship as her. Once the fight started i knew that i was not going to let the asari get paid so i said I’LL FIGHT, loud enough for everyone to hear it, and after the fight that I had won I suddenly heard a voice in my head, and it said, you better lose the next match on purpose and ill get rid of your debt, or else i'll keep you working as a servant for the rest of your life. So I did the most reasonable thing, I did as the asari sayed and forfeited, after she appeared to be extremely happy as she probably won a lot of money. After the rest of the people fought, I quit and started watching Jianyu gamble against a strange man, and man was she horrible, she lost all of our 60k cheebo in an instant. Once we lost all our money, me and Max decided to go steal some things so we went to Gleebos lair and once we saw the guns we wanted, we grabbed them at the same time, just before the bars came crashing down on the rest of the guns, once i looked at what i had got, it looked like a mini-7 but smaller, and instead has a strange red liquid on the top. When I shot it, it did devastating damage, and it knocked me to the ground.Once me and Max got back, we saw the shady man with all the chips and was about to shoot Jianyu until everyone knocked him down and we all grabbed as much cheebo as possible and then we ran off while the shady man followed. Kevin
The Fighting Pit by: Jianyu
Jianyu had a hard time thinking of if she should bet or fight, same as Kevin. Eric wants to make popcorn at the fighting pit and Ethan wants to make ice cream (you could see that Eric and Ethan are having a good time being chefs)! Kevin decided to steal from a stupid and rich Turian or Asari, and he eventually found one.The “person” he was going to steal from looked like an Asari, she looked beautiful and it seems like she is having a birthday party with three other friends. As Kevin reached for the beautiful Asari’s purse the Asari sitting next to her turned around and grabbed Kevin’s arm and his heart stopped beating! Jianyu and Miranda ran to Kevin and Miranda yelled “Kevin!!! Kevin!!! are you okay?”. The Asari that grabbed Kevin’s arm took out a long thin stick and stabbed it into Kevin’s chest. “ahhhh” Kevin said as he sat up and stretched his arms. “Are you okay?” Miranda asked again. “I think so,” replied Kevin. Then, the fighting pit opened, a bunch of Turians and Asari ran over to see and so did Miranda, Jianyu, and the rest of the crew. The host said “Welcome to the fighting pit! In this round, we will have Karnak the unkillable fight Maxwell the…Maxwell what is your fighting nickname? something like Maxwell the thunder, the muscle, or the” Maxwell interrupted and said “Just Maxwell”. The host continued “Ok, in this round we will have Karnak the unkillable fight Maxwell! Now if you are going to bet please do so!”. Most people bet on Karnak the unkillable but Jianyu and Kevin bet on Maxwell. Kevin bet 1000 cheebo, Jianyu didn’t bet much, she bet 25 cheebo. (Kevin doesn’t have any money yet, so if he wins, he will get 2000 cheebo but he can only have 1000 cheebo since he didn’t have any cheebo at the start.) As Maxwell started losing, Gertrude (who came 1 hour ago) secretly threw a shiny needle at Maxwell, and Maxwell, who wasn’t paying attention to Karnak, caught the needle. Maxwell backed up to the side where Gertrude was standing and Gertrude whispered in her ear “Use it to stab Karnak”. Maxwell ran back up to Karnak and swung her fist at Karnak while poking the needle through the gap between her fingers. “Ouch!” yelled Karnak. Now, Maxwell wasn’t standing on the losing side, and as you might have guessed, Maxwell won! Kevin got 1000 cheebo and Jianyu got 50 cheebo while all the “people” that bet on Karnak lost a bunch of cheebo. After a few rounds came the competitions. There are 4 competitions, if you win the first one you get 5000 cheebo, the second one is worth 10000 cheebo, the third one is worth 15000 cheebo, and the last one is worth 20000 cheebo! Jianyu decided to give it a shot, and she entered the first competition. The host said, “Now, it’s time for the competitions! Competition One! We have… Jianyu, what's your fighting nickname?”. Jianyu replied, “Um… maybe the invisible”. “Good, we have Jianyu the invisible fight Karnak the unkillable! That kind of rhymes! Okay, now let
the fight begin!” said the host. There are five rounds in each competition and whoever wins more rounds wins, if the other player falls onto the ground or admits defeat then you win. Karnak punched his fist at Jianyu, and luckily Jianyu ducked and punched at Karnak’s stomach. Karnak growled and the pain in his stomach caused him to fall. “Jianyu the invisible has won the first round!” announced the host. In the second round Karnak won, the third round Jianyu won by kicking, the fourth round Karnak won, and the fifth round...Jianyu won!!! Jianyu couldn’t believe she earned 5000 cheebo just by fighting, so she wanted to go on again, but it was someone else’s turn, and on the third competition she couldn’t go too, but the great news is she gets to go on the fourth round! If Jianyu wins in the fourth round then she will have 20000 cheebo, 5000 cheebo from the first competition, and 3000 cheebo from playing piano. All of the crewmates cheebo (including Jianyu, definitely) is enough to fix their ship even though they might not have enough to upgrade, but it’s still good! After the second and third competition came the fourth competition which was the last one, and it’s Jianyu’s turn! The host announced, “This is the last and final competition, and we have Jianyu the invisible fight Bobby’s blade hands!”. Bobby blade hands was a short old man with knife blades as hands. As the fight began Jianyu took out her pocket knife (since that was allowed so why not) and the first round began. Jianyu stabbed her knife at Bobby but Bobby ducked and stabbed her back, Jianyu tried to duck but Bobby tripped her (since that was allowed too) and she fell, which means she lost the first round. In the second round she won, the third round she won too, and in the fourth round Bobby won. Now it was time for the fifth round… As Bobby blade hands stabbed towards Jianyu she managed to move to the side, but Bobby still cut her on her arm and Jianyu was feeling a load of pain, and her brain went all blank. Then, she realized what happened and took the chance to stab Bobby but Bobby moved and she threw her pocket knife at Bobby and it skidded through the side of his stomach and gave him a cut. Bobby yelled in pain as he backed away and Jianyu ran up just in time and tripped him over as he did in the first round. The host announced “The winner of this 20000 cheebo is Jianyu the invisible!!!”. “People” hurrayed and Jianyu smiled in happiness while she and her crew walked away from the fighting pit. Jianyu and the crew decided to go play cards to get more money and Jianyu went first. She put up 550 cheebo and three people came, but in the end, she lost the game and lost 550. The total of cheebo from every crew member was 66000 cheebo, and Eric put up all of it! As the rest of the crew yelled “Noooo” and “Don’t”, Eric still did it and as he flipped over two suns he thought he would win, but the shady man playing with him flipped over a sun and a bomb, swiped away the 66000 cheebo, and the next thing “everyone” in the crew knew, is that they had just lost 66000 cheebo from playing cards. The crew decided to not play cards again since
they had no more cheebo and are bad at playing than the rest of the people who played there for a long time, as Eric apologized for losing all of the cheebo. Suddenly, a group of “people” appeared, all wearing shirts that said “Blood crew” on them. The shady man stood up, took out a gun, and fired towards the Blood crew. Then an alarm went on and everyone started running towards the exit. “People” got pushed and a whole bunch of cheebo from the shady man fell onto the floor, so Jianyu decided to grab some (since that was their own cheebo that they had earned but lost), same as Kevin. Kevin managed to grab more because he was closer to the shady man, then Miranda ran up to Jianyu and Kevin to tell them to leave fool’s end because it was dangerous here.
Day VI The fighting Pits Ethan Playing cards weren’t as Ethan imagined, all he could say is that it wasn’t pretty. Ethan was ticking off when Eric gave away all the Cheebo. All their earnings just went “poof”, after a few more rounds than Ethan didn’t want to talk about, Eric made a decision that would literally make Ethan combust. Yet again, Eric busted all of their Cheebo bringing them down to a dwindling amount of Cheebos. After some time they started building up their Cheebo again, but before they could walk off the tables with bags of Cheebo an explosion rocked Fool’s End, as what they learned to be the “Blood Pack” zeroed on them. However the “Shady man” acted first, Ethan couldn’t digest what happened next, his crewmates went crazy for the Cheebo that went flying. Ethan on the other hand stayed beside the shady man. After he gestured to the Federation and herded them outside he knew he made the right decision… Or did he?
Jianyu,Maxwell ,and Kevin were fighting for their lives; they got three chances each. I watched them from above barely paying attention to their fight but one I finished cooking, I looked at them.I noticed one important thing and that was that Maxwell bet 20million dollars I mean like did he have a death wish we couldn’t have him die but shooting his bet’s opponent then vs them is crazy!After that horrible event we divided deeper in the rabbit hole sadness and we lost 20 Million chebo to bettingI mean like I might have gambled all my money but 20 million out of all of us having 20milion that’s just even more bad luck.Here we go again even deer in the rabbit hole of doom.We tried everything to cheat to make them laugh yet we still lose.So we decided to steal from Gleebo after all that's all we can do.Then the blood pack comes in with the money we think of a strategy while a shady man comes and shoots first then everyone starts fighting in that chaos we grab as much cheebo from the ground then we ran.
CHAPTER SEVEN Roman's Dock
Maxwell So we are running and I shoot my gun at the people chasing us and completely miss, the knockback from the gun blasts me back. When I land the gravity makes me go up and the magnetic boots don’t work. I see a battle but I can’t see what’s going on. As my magnetic boots work finally I run to the opposite side of the battle to the ship. I turn on the ship and try to ram it into the people chasing us. It scares everybody but the ship stops in place. Next, I shoot the surviving people and I kill all of the people chasing us. After that, I am able to control the ship to stop it to crash and land in somewhere and I stay there.
While everyone else was trying to pick up some small rocks, Maxwell got hit by a turian and got sent flying past everyone into the direction of our ship. Once I saw them running around and getting hit I went in with my mini rpg and shot the turians while dodging most, if not all of the bullets. After I thought I shot down enough I went in to look for Kyle's sword and spotted it quickly and picked it up. Once I picked it up the rest of the turians was fleeing, so I ran after them but was too slow and they got away. Once I took a quick reset I went and looted the bodies of the turians I disarmed and took all of their cheebo. Kevin
Roman’s Dock by: Jianyu
The Blood crew chased Jianyu, Kevin, Eric, Ethan, and Maxwell because they had cheebo with them, and Jianyu quickly figured out that the Blood crew was a group of robbers. As Jianyu and her crewmates were running they decided that Kevin and Maxwell would run while they shoot at the Blood crew since they stole a shotgun and a laser gun from gleebo which will probably be very useful, Eric and Ethan would throw pocket knives at them, and Jianyu would run as fast as she could to go on the ARK to power it because there was no one else on the ARK. Maxwell never really used a laser gun so when she shot the laser gun towards one of the Turians the laser gun made Maxwell fly over Jianyu, Kevin, Eric, Ethan, and the ARK. Maxwell kept flying until he bumped into a ginormous rock, and he started lifting upwards into space! While Maxwell was trying to fly over to the ARK Kevin started shooting his shotgun at the Turians. Jianyu, Eric, and Ethan all knew that Maxwell was going to get on the ship before any of them so they all decided to pick up rocks from the ground. When Eric was searching on the ground for more rocks, he found a very round and smooth rock that was metallic silver and had a button-like thingy shining blue light. Eric thought it was going to explode or something so he decided to throw it at the Turians, the shining blue light turned red and exploded between him and the Turians. Then, more little metallic rocks which are called “Grenades” appeared on the ground. A few seconds later Jianyu, Eric, and Ethan are all picking up Grenades and throwing them at the Turians. Jianyu wanted to keep a sample of the Grenades so she tried to make it not explode. She picked one up, pressed the button on the Grenade she is holding, the blue light stopped shining, and she put it in her pocket. After almost all of the Grenades are picked up and thrown at the Turians, Maxwell made it to the ship. He entered the Pilot room and thought he would be able to “drive” the ship so he sat onto the Pilot seat, and he soon figured out how to move the ship even though he was very very far from mastering it (well he didn’t need to master it anyway). As Maxwell powered the ship Jianyu, Kevin, Eric, and Ethan all thought “Maxwell is coming to save us!!!”, but Maxwell turned the ship away from them, and then Jianyu, Kevin, Eric, and Ethan all thought “Oh, Maxwell is leaving us”. Then, Maxwell turned the ship towards them and the Turians and fired the special bomb that one of the Engineers (which was Eric) had made. Ethan made a quick reaction and hid behind a huge rock, when Kevin, Eric, and Jianyu were panicking to find somewhere to hide. “BOOM!!!!!” the bomb fired and most of the Turians that didn’t hide flew up to space, and same as Jianyu, Kevin, and Eric. Kevin and Eric were pretty badly injured, and Jianyu was almost dying since she was already injured fighting Bobby blade hands and Karnak the unkillable.
“Jianyu! Are you okay!?” yelled Ethan as he ran up and pressed a button on Jianyu’s spacesuit. “Yes,” Jianyu said as she breathed heavily. The button was for extra oxygen since the bomb probably triggered the spacesuit’s oxygen system and made it detect nobody wearing it, so it stopped providing oxygen.
Day VII Roman’s Dock Ethan It wasn’t fun being chased by a bunch of Turians. He didn’t know what ticked off the Turians and he didn’t want to stick to find out, seeing the more or less-lethal weapons. They debated on a plan to slow down the Turians, however, they didn’t really come up with an official plan but it was too late to discuss. It all happened so fast he could hardly process it all, Maxwell blasting in the air was pretty questionable, it might have been funny except for the fact that they were being chased by Turians ready to shred them. As things couldn’t get any wilder, Metal spheres dropped near them. Later seeing them blow up he ditched his plan to “hold” the so-called bomb. It was a long chase, but they finally got away. Could they finally rest?
We were being chased I was picking up all kinds of rocks while they were shooting we were dodging and weaving there laser gun bullets.Maxwell did a big move when he shot his shot gun left and right and then when they got a hold of our radio they screeched through.Kevin turns back runs at the terians and starts fighting back while I am just picking up rocks.so while I was searching in the rocks I found a round steel ball that was beeping blue the second I got it I threw it in the air.It exploded luckily for me I didn’t take damage.We found some more so we threw them but jianyu disarmed one so we ran away escaping so when we looked up I sw my bomb coming down on me so I tried to dodge it but got hit. When we got away jianyu fainted and we headed to romans dock when there we had dinner with roman and I said can we get a discount but that backfired when he said oh I charge more for family.
CHAPTER EIGHT Roman's Dock: The Hunt
The Hunt for Roman by: Jianyu
Then, Algar came and surrounded the blood crew. After a few minutes, Jianyu and the rest of the crew were in Roman’s (Miranda’s cousin) dock, having diner together. While everyone was eating Ethan counted the cheebo they had and he excitedly told the rest of the crew that they have 120000 cheebo! “Well, I guess you would be able to do four upgrades to your ship!” said Roman. Eric then asked, “Is there a discount for relatives?”. Roman answered, “Oh, I almost forgot, for relatives you need to pay more!”. “What!?!?” Jianyu and Eric both said at the same time. “ok you don’t need to be that surprised, it’s always like this, and I think everyone should get some sleep,” said Roman. The next morning everyone in the crew got up early and discussed what to upgrade. It was breakfast when Roman asked what they wanted to upgrade. Eric said “We want to make our ship able to teleport, have two little pods on the side of it to shoot out bullets that it can turn 360°,” and Jianyu continued, “we also want to upgrade our spacesuits, and we want to save the rest for buying guns”. Suddenly, the shady man walked in and started shooting Roman! Jianyu took out her gun and shot back at the shady man. The shady man jumped away but Jianyu still got him on his arm. He yelled in pain and ran away, while Roman disappeared into nowhere. Jianyu, Ethan, Maxwell, Eric, Kevin, and Brutus the security guard all ran out of the room, as they all heard the shady man speak on the radio at Roman’s dock, he said rapidly “I can explain, that Roman is an imposter. Believe me, Roman always stays at fool’s end”. After hearing that, Jianyu and the crew decided to spit up. There were three hallways to go. The first hallway’s ground has drips of human blood on, and Ethan was going to go that way to find the shady man since he was a human. The second hallway has nothing on the ground but it smelled suspicious, Jianyu, Eric, and Kevin were going that way. The third way had shining blue liquid on the ground, Maxwell and Brutus went that way. Ethan quickly found the shady man, Jianyu, Eric, and Kevin didn’t find anything, Maxwell and Brutus started calling out to Jianyu, Eric, Kevin, and Ethan. They all gathered up in the room Maxwell and Brutus are in, the shady man followed in too. There was an iron safe, Ethan and Eric looked at each other as they both said “There’s probably cheebo in there”, and quickly the whole crew decided to steal the money in there. There was a password lock with nine spaces on there. first, they tried using numbers, then Eric thought of an excellent idea, he thought that should try names, so they tried names for like five minutes until when they typed Gleebo, the first six spaces lit green. The crew kept guessing, and Jianyu said “Why don’t we try Gleebo Sucks?”. Then, the shady man said “yeah, I like that! Gleebo sucks! Also I
know that Roman is bad at spelling!” The crew typed in suck, but there were only enough spaces for “suc”, but they tried that anyways, while the shady man kept murmuring “Gleebo sucks!”. Maxwell tried all the letters in the alphabet, and when she got to “x”, the last space lit green! “See, I told you Roman is bad at spelling!” exclaimed the shady man. The crew opened the iron safe and inside was 13 million cheebo! The crew definitely wouldn’t know how much is in there, since it was a card (kinda like credit cards), but there was a little piece of paper that wrote “13 million” on it. Jianyu took out the card, and suddenly Maxwell got pulled away into a garage room by someone! Everyone raced over and when the garage door opened, there was two Maxwell! The two Maxwells both exclaimed, “I’m the real one, he’s the imposter!”, so Jianyu thought of an idea. First, Jianyu asked them “What are our other two ships called?”, and the two Maxwells all replied “The Carma and The Pillar of Autumn”. Then, Jianyu asked, “What did we do to the Carma during the battle with the Cocoon?”. The Maxwell standing on the right replied, “We accidentally fired at the Carma”, and the Maxwell standing on the left said that exact same answer but a few seconds later. Jianyu asked again, “What did Maxwell do on the fight with the Blood crew?”. The Maxwell on the right answered “I fired the laser gun but I got pushed upwards,” and he continued almost in a whisper, “I left you guys for two seconds”, while the other Maxwell didn’t say anything. As Eric added in “I think you left us for more of a 20 seconds”, when the Maxwell standing in the left suddenly started glowing, then it turned into a drakarian! The Drakarian then vanished. Miranda rushed up to the real Maxwell, and asked: “How did you make it transform back?”, Maxwell replied, “I realized the only difference between me and the imposter is the imposter is wearing a strange belt, so I pulled his belt off, and I don’t know how, but he just transformed!”. “Ok, now let’s get out of here”, said Ethan.
Day VIII The hunt for Roman Ethan Through the confusing chaos once they got out of the mess they were greeted with three tunnels to go into. Right when thought things couldn’t get any more out of control, Maxwell was grabbed by a hand and revealed that the turian shifted into Maxwell, now having an even more confusing problem they lost the turian imposter yet again, bringing them to a part where they would all go separate ways. Out of the tunnels, was a foaming blue blood, a tunnel that was clear, and a one with red blood, he chose the one with red blood. Having no one with him he ventured on without any source of protection. After finding the Shady man once again they found the others trying to solve a code. Once they broke the code they were ready to lift off, having their ship back in business. Liftoff.
While having breakfast with roman i decided to eat plastic for 5 cheebo I mean like more cheebo is always better so we worked on upgrades of course the amazing team we are we aced it no problem.Then we ate with roman from the corner of my eye I saw the shady man pointing his gun at roman gets shot so I tried to save him but was too late to push him far enough down to dodge the bullet.so roman and the shady man ran.We split in groups to find them.the group that found the shady man said that he said that roman wasn’t roman but a drakarien so my group found him he turned to maxwell.The drakrien stood out because their punch was inhuman so we figured that out.I plan that we stop to another planet collect resources and leave even stronger. Eric
CHAPTER NINE Gleebo's Lair
While we all run back everyone seems to notice a few rocks ranging from boulders to pebbles in size, and the next thing we notice is that the gravity is low, and that means that people could potentially jump very high or throw heavy things easier and farther than we usually could.
Gleebo’s Lair by: Jianyu
Jianyu, Kevin, Ethan, Eric, Maxwell, and the rest of the crew came out of Roman’s Dock from the back door. When they were fully out of Roman’s Dock, they saw a giant worm in front of the front door! Miranda questioned, “Did that worm eat Roman? I see some clothes in the worm. The worm is pretty transparent, you know”. Jianyu answered, “Yep, it’s pretty transparent, and I hope not”. Miranda then asked, “How are we going to use Roman’s card? No one is going to believe we got 13 billion”. Jianyu replied, “we can just say that Roman died and gave us the 13 billion”. Miranda said “and they are going to ask how roman died and then suspect us”, then Maxwell suddenly exclaimed, “We can use this belt!”. “Good idea,” said Ethan, and Miranda started saying, “so you guys are saying that one of us should be transformed into Roman? But who-” and Eric cut off with “I’ll transform into Roman!”. Miranda asked, “How will the belt know to transform you into Roman not someone else?” Jianyu answered, “Oh! I know, in most stories when you have magic you think of what you want to be or where you want to go!”. “That’s it!” said Eric excitedly. “but there is no magic!” Miranda exclaimed. “We can try though, “ said Eric. He put on the belt, closed his eyes, and thought of what Roman looked like. As he kept repeating Roman’s name in his head, Jianyu said “Wow, you really look like Roman now”. Eric opened his eyes and looked at his hands and foot. After the crew decided to go to Fool’s End, Jianyu gave an idea, “If Roman really died, I think we should probably make a grave for him. Two reasons. First, we stole his money, second, he is Miranda’s relative, so if we don’t make a grave for him, who will?”. “But we are not even sure if he actually died, so what do you think Roman would think if he’s not dead, suddenly walks up to us, and finds out we think he’s dead and making a grave for him? So my opinion is we should find out if he is actually dead or not, then, if he is dead, we make a grave” said one of the crewmates. “True, also I do not wish Roman is dead, so yeah” said Jianyu. While they were walking to fool’s end Miranda asked “Wait, before we enter I think we should think of what we are going to buy with the cheebo, and plan how are we going to buy it, it’s not like everyone is going to believe Roman is going to spend 13 billion on us”. Jianyu then gave an idea “we should spend some cheebo on buying food, and”, Eric interrupted “and we should spend the rest on buying guns from Gleebo!”. Miranda asked, “So we all agree on that?”. Everyone nodded as there were not many things they can do with the cheebo anyways. Ethan then said, “as long as we don’t play cards again”. After some conversation, the crew made a plan. First, the crew would go and buy guns, Then, they wouldn’t have enough cheebo, and Eric (he is now Roman now) will walk in and buy some guns for them. Jianyu said, “I mean, that’s the same as Roman spending 13 billion on us. But we can try”. The crew nodded and one of
them said “you’re absolutely right”. Miranda then added in “Ok, we don’t have too much time, let’s just do it or not”. “let’s do it” replied the crew. The crew finally walked in fool’s end, with Eric outside waiting to come in later. They walked into Gleebo’s place, and the first part of the plan worked pretty well. Then, after acting that the crew didn’t have enough cheebo, one crewmate excused to go to the bathroom, but he actually went outside to inform Eric that they were ready. While the crewmate waited outside for a minute or two to pass, Eric, disguised as Roman, walked into Gleebo’s place. “Oh hi guys! didn’t know I would meet you here!” said Eric disguised as Roman. “Oh, hi Roman. We’re just buying guns, but we don’t have enough money” said Miranda. “you definitely don’t have enough money, but I can buy some guns for you guys!” said Eric still disguised as Roman. “That’s very nice of you!” said Jianyu, and they started picking guns. When they were finished picking the guns, Eric disguised as Roman said “Here’s my card”. Gleebo narrowed his eyebrows, and a long questioning came. Unfortunately, Gleebo discovered That Roman was actually Eric, and worst, he saw the belt. He then asked, “What is this? A cloaking device? And why do you disguise as Roman?”. Jianyu looked at the crew and whispered to them, “Let’s just tell the truth”. Miranda and the rest of the crew nodded. Jianyu said to Gleebo “This is a long story. So basically an imposter Roman killed the real Roman and we went to find him, on the way we found a safe, so we just- you know. That’s how we found the 13 billion, and for the belt, or the cloaking device, we stole it from the imposter Roman. Miranda is Roman’s only relative, and Roman died, so it’s reasonable for us to use the 13 billion anyways”. “May I look at the cloaking device?” asked Gleebo. Eric replied “Um…” Eric kept not really wanting to give it to Roman, and he got stabbed. The crew all stared at each other for a few moments, and Miranda ordered to Run and carry Eric out. Gleebo did not chase them, and they got on the ship, as Eric tried saying “I don’t know if I dropped the cloaking device or not”. The crew carried Eric to his bed and one of the scientists went over to check on him. The crew entered the main section of the ARK and they saw three big boxes. Inside the boxes was a bunch of red rocks, that smelled like alcohol. Everyone decided to do different things with them. First, Ethan threw a box out of the ship, then, Kevin decided to eat a piece, and he started getting dizzy, and Jianyu decided to take some into the engineering room. While Jianyu walked back to the main section, two people suddenly jumped out from behind something. It was Algar and the Shady man!
Day IX Gleebo’s Lair Ethan The plan was that someone would sneek into Gleebos lair as Roman and convince him to a deal. There could be good things in the plan and bad things. The good things were: Gleebo could accept their request and hopefully have a truce. Bad things were: Gleebo would reject their request and bad things would happen. Ethan dared to hope but of course, their plans failed. Yet again, things didn’t look pretty. Thankfully, things didn’t go too bad, no one suffered serious damage. There was also a weird offer of “red rock tootsie rolls”? All those things happened so fast he couldn’t process it all, but the good thing was: they all made it out.
At the ship I took the tracking device slapped it on me then we made the plan where I transform into Roman,we hack the card,and take guns.At fools end we buyed all the toastie rolls and then we took guns from Gleebo we bought some he figured out I wasn’t Roman I tried rocket launching him but it didn’t shoot. Confused and stabbed they ran away carrying me.Woken up finding myself somewhere my team reassures me on what happened .I say we find a legendary artifact then take out everything in our way. Eric
CHAPTER TEN Πθζζλεσ ανδ Σεψρετσ
My group has been travelling for at least 3 months in the swamps of belguta, and we found the rune of wakabunga, stole its gold, and made the locals very angry at us. It is also very important that we keep the treasure away from the people of this region, or else how can I be rich enough to convince Penelope Clearwater and more importantly her father to make me a suitable husband. I don’t care how many of my comrades have died due to a strange illness. As I look at the room in front of me, I see 2 talking trees, and a mouth wearing a top hat. I looked at it for a moment and I remembered that my hand has been a sword ever since birth, and I swung it at the tree a few times and eventually a part of the tree fell off and I put it on my head. I blinked and a few feet away from me, I see Roberto Scarnecky, the famous galavanting gourmet that was on television everywhere during my childhood and he said that he was very very proud of me and I started crying and then a portal opens up, and I know that the portal leads to Penelope Clearwater, but on the other side of the room I see the most delicious plate of pancakes that I had ever seen and I decided to throw my wooden hat into the portal and go to the pancakes and start to eat it, but then the pancakes seemed to be fighting back, and then the pancake stabbed me with a fork and the butter and syrup melted off it and revealed an ugly turian face but I ignored it and continued to eat it, and after a while, I was left with just a fond memory of everyone dying and Penelope Clearwater even though I knew it was all fake. Once we had a meeting, Miranda asks us what happened but then Eric wakes up and asks Jianyu, “what happened?” and said, “I will assume that Kevin was drugged without his knowledge?” and then everyone went to sleep. When I woke up I heard Jacob Keys talk about the past and I ask him “If the Universe is infinite, then what if we expand in the opposite direction and we can leave the Drakarians alone?” and he says that he thinks that I’m too smart to work at the federation and was wondering if I wanted to change jobs. Later after we talked about the casual bombings in the demilitarized zone, Miranda appeared with a Drakarian beside her so everyone took out their weapons until Miranda say that it was a disguise and it was just Brutus and they explained that it was just some Drakarian tech that they found but I still wanted to check so I asked him do you own a real gun that shoots metal bullets and he replied no, that was a trick question because Captain Keys owns that gun and he said that if he was a Drakarian he would’ve said: “yeah, Brutus owns that gun”. Then Miranda told us that the plan is to not blast through the outer hall, and instead disguise ourselves to sneak inside and destroy them from within. After Miranda said that, I said “that’s stupid” and Miranda asked me why and I said because if we cloak the ship, we can only cloak 6 other members but then she said that it wasn’t seven, it was several other people and I misunderstood and she meant like a few people not the entire crew on this ship. After that misunderstanding, Brutus assured me that we could always just shoot at them until they die and I felt a bit better after that. I thought for a moment afterwards about the Drakarians, and remember that there was a Drakarian on the wing of our ship without and space equipment, and it didn’t die immediately. After, Miranda tested the disguise on our ship and a bubble surrounded it and nothing changed until everyone watched the exterior camera and the ship looked like those Drakarian fighter ships that we fought when our adventure first began instead of the sleek steel ship made by the federation, then Eric asked if the Drakarian ships where made from their spit and blood and everyone thought that was gross except for Miranda who said” hey, it’s a different species and maybe they use different materials than us” but everyone stared at her so she quickly says, jeez ok, I was just saying. Later, we saw our first Drakarian vessel, and they sort of slid past us like they were surveying the area, and then
Gideon with nerves of steel he parked the ship on the Drakarian landing docks. Once we landed, I saw around a dozen Drakarian ships patrolling, most likely looking for us. I looked around a bit more and found laying in space the remains of the Pillar of Autumn which was destroyed when we were fighting off the Cocoon, and the Drakarians seemed to be studying the parts and taking stuff from the ship. Walking around are a bunch of smaller, less imposing Drakarians kind of like worker drones, so I suggest that we shoot them but that got rejected so I ask if we could pick apart the cloaking machine and see how to make it and then afterwards just put it back together so we can make a whole bunch more to cloak the entire crew. When we went back onto the ship, Miranda asked us if we wanted to be disguised or not, and of course, only Maxwell said yes and everyone else said no including me. While coming outside, Maxwell tripped and fell and Ethan and Jianyu fall after him while Eric pulled on the chains like a mad-man and yelled” YOU WILL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE DRAKARIANS, LONG LIVE THE FEDERATION” and I just stood there without falling even though if Maxwell was a Drakarian, he would have been so heavy that he pulled everyone down. Then Brutus came out and whipped us all because he was dressed like a Drakarian. A second later Maxwell brought us out of the hanger and moved to the left. When we reach the next area we chose to continue going down the main path, there is a little chamber to our right and another two paths up ahead and we choose to go to the small chamber but the room had one of those smaller Drakarians but this one had a tube in its head that seemed to connect to the ceiling, I wanted to make sure that the Drakarian wouldn’t find us so I punched it and I was pretty sure that it was unconscious now so I looked at the pipe that was in the Drakarians head before and decided to attempt punching the pipe as well but when I got ready to punch it sprung into my head and made me see something in my mind and it sort of looked like a security camera and I saw a bunch of rooms, so I tell them the way we should go is up to the main path and I wanted to get some food so I told them to continue going through the main path to enter the area with food from what I saw with the Drakarian style security camera, And inside was a warrior Drakarian so I decide to punch it but then Brutus reminded me that I’m chained up and that I’m supposed to keep in character but then, the Drakarian just moved away, just out of my vision so everyone moved forward a bit but then I saw a worker drone pass by and it picked up one of the buckets and walked past us again and going to the right and a bit later a Drakarian warrior came into the room and he then walks past us going to the right again. After we decided to continue to go down so we kept on going until we reached what seemed to be the drone nest where I asked if we could raise a baby Drakarian but basically, everyone objected so that idea got rejected. Once we looked around and saw another Drakarian, we decided to leave and saw the entrance again so we followed the same path but this time we went to the left on the first turn and found ourselves in what seemed to be a Battleground. After a while, we heard Captin Keys and he handed us his helmet and Eric messes with the playback thingy for a bit and we hear Captin Keys say “we are not going down without a fight BOOM” and after a second the light on the camera turned on and we see Captin Keys and the others getting captured. After again roaming around Maxwell and Ethan seem to have disappeared and then I bolt across the hallway turning the corner and saw a man pointing an arm at Maxwell and is telling everyone to duck but I was in shock of all this happening and I froze up in fear. - Kevin
Infiltrating the Cocoon by: Jianyu The whole crew including the Shady man and Algar had supper together. After supper was night, and Gertrude went to check on Eric if he is okay. Gertrude whispered to Eric “You know that the Shady man is actually called Jacob?”. Eric asked, “Really? what’s his last name?”. “Might want to ask him tomorrow”, said Gertrude, and she left. The next morning while eating breakfast Eric asked the Shady man “What is your real name?”. The Shady man replied “Jacob, Jacob Keys”. Jianyu surprisingly asked, “You are brothers with captain Keys!? I didn’t know that! Then why are you here? Shouldn’t you be at the federation and then come with us on this mission? Are you even captain Keys brother?”. The Shady man or Jacob asked, “Is my brother James Keys on this mission that you guys are doing?”. Jianyu replied, “Of course he is, it’s just that he is probably in prison at the Cocoon. We are planning to break in, or in other words, sneak in the Cocoon to save him and our other crewmates with him. Now answer my questions”. Jacob replied “Well, before us and the Drakarians very firmly declared that we were enemies, we weren’t so bad with each other, we just didn’t really like each other. Until one day, I was on a mission. At the mission, I was surrounded by some Drakarians, and I was scared, so I shot at them. It was too unexpectedly that I would do that to them, and they did not bring any weapons. I managed to get back, but I lied that they started shooting first, so I shot back and won. Everyone said I was a hero. If we ever met the Drakarians again, the two of us wouldn’t even try to ignore each other at all, we would usually run away if there is lots of them, and shoot if there’s more of us. Slowly, more fights happened and we got into very intense enemies. If I didn’t shoot them in the first place, nothing would have happened. I felt guilty and I really regretted it, but time doesn’t allow me to go back and change what happened, so I left….” “Oh, you have a sad background story,” said Jianyu. “I do, and are we going to go save my brother now?” asked Jacob. Miranda replied “Unfortunately, you are not going to come with us, since the Drakarians recognize you. “Fine,” said Jacob. “So, how are we going to sneak in?” questioned Miranda. “I think I have an idea,” said Jianyu, “We can disguise as Drakarians and walk in the prison!”. Miranda then said, “You don’t anyone is going to ask us why are we going to the prison?”. “Someone can say that we are, um, uh….gonna go feed the prisoners!”. Miranda tried to say “Then what if someone asks-”, Jianyu interrupted “Nevermind, we’re not going to use this idea”. After a round of “dumb” ideas, Miranda said “Ok, we don’t have too much time left”, and she took a rope, tied it over Jianyu, Kevin, Ethan, Eric, and she then told Maxwell to use the cloaking device and turn into a Drakarian. Maxwell did as told, and Miranda handed him the end of the rope. “Maxwell, you are going to act as a Drakarian that just captured four enemies, and you are bringing them to the prison. Jianyu, Kevin, Ethan, and Eric, you guys are going to act as prisoners going to prison. Remember, don’t talk to Maxwell or it will be
suspicious, and don’t try to fight off the rope because if you do, Maxwell has to tie it back on for you, and to not act suspicious, you’ll have to struggle. But when you struggle, it’s hard for Maxwell to tie it on you, and I know that he won’t be rough with you guys, as he probably doesn’t want to hurt you” said Miranda. Everyone nodded, and they entered the Cocoon. The Cocoon still had the bumps on the wall, and as they looked around, Maxwell accidentally tripped, which pulled the whole line down. All the Drakarians looked at them, since they made a loud sound, and then got back into their tasks again. The crew kept walking in until they saw a wall with several huge holes in it, like several tunnels. The crew crawled through one, and halfway they realized it’s the kitchen, so they tried other ones. A few moments later they finally found a tunnel that leads to a hallway, and they went through. It seemed like the hallway was very long. They looked around and a Drakarian walked in front of them, he asked “You taking them to prison?”. “Yes, I am, and I’m new to the prison job, so I can’t really find the prison” replied Maxwell. “I see, just go straight ahead and then turn right,” said the Drakarian. On the way to the prison, they saw very very tall and strong Drakarians, like warriors. “I never know that Drakarians even have the difference between workers and warriors,” said Jianyu. “I didn’t know that too but shhh,” said one of the crewmates. “Oh well,” said Jianyu. A few moments later the crew managed to find the prison. In the prison, there was no one else other than captain Keys and his crew. Jianyu lowered her voice and called “Captain Keys!”, and the crew went in. As Jianyu rushed over to captain Keys, captain Keys shot at Maxwell, which was still disguised as a Drakarian. “Doooooon’t” yelled Jianyu, but it was too late, captain Keys had shot Maxwell. “What’s wrong with shooting our enemy?” asked captain Keys. “It’s Maxwell!!! Not enemy!!!” replied Jianyu. After getting things straight, Kevin tried to punch captain Keys! Captain Keys froze for a moment, then Ethan yelled to him “Shoot him!!!”, so captain Keys took out his gun, and then Jianyu yelled, “Don’t shoot!!!”, just about half a second after captain Keys already shot. Kevin did move, but he still got shot on the shoulder. “I’m I not supposed to shoot?” asked captain Keys. At the same time, Jianyu said “Yes” and Ethan said “No”. Jianyu said, “Even though he wants to punch you, he is at least a part of our federation”. “Oops,” said captain Keys. Jianyu said, “Also, talking of the federation, we found your brother, Jacob Keys”. “Jacob!?!?”, exclaimed Captain Keys, “Yes, it’s him, and we found him in fool’s end on a planet,” said Jianyu. “was he prisoned there, and how did you find him?” asked captain Keys. Jianyu didn’t have the heart to tell the truth right now, and she doesn’t want to start an argument, as they can’t waste time, so she lied “um…. yes, he was prisoned there. A crewmate from our federation got in prison too, so we went to save our crewmate, we saw Jacob, and we rescued him as well”. “makes sense,” said captain Keys.
Day X Infiltrating the Cocoon Ethan Seeing the Cocoon from the outside made the ship look like a sight. However, the Cocoon felt more like a maze than a ship on the inside. They could barely see, they could only guess where they were going. Once they to a part where they saw a drakian worker with some sort of a spike in its head, and seeing Kevin trying to punch the spike and missing as it connected to his head, he didn’t want to question Kevin’s actions. However, it wasn’t all bad, they met a federation hero: Jacob Keys, captain keys brother. They struggled through the ship still going downhill, hopefully, they will get better luck soon, or their all toast.
Snore snore, finally I woke up I didn’t remember what happened I got back in a coma after I got punched then I woke up again.We walked in the patrol ship thingy looking around someone got stabbed by a needle and they saw everything and a pitch black area so we continued forward disguised so that the guards wouldn’t notice us.I only wanted a legendary artifact so I searched every room but out of it all all we got was food and a recording of captain keys Eric
CHAPTER ELEVEN Πθζζλεσ ανδ Σεψρετσ Breaking In
Breaking In by: Jianyu It was pretty weird that the prison didn’t have any locks. Jianyu guessed it may be because even if anyone escaped, there are so many Drakarians in the Cocoon that the person that escaped will be easily found. “Let’s leave now,” said captain Keys. Everyone nodded and the whole crew left the prison. “Are we gonna go find the legendary artifact?” asked Eric. “Speaking of that, I know where the Drakarian’s security measures are” replied captain Keys. “Let’s go hack it!” said Jianyu excitedly, and the crew did. Captain Keys led the crew towards the security measure and said “I really don’t know why they put this so close to the prison, as you can literally see the prison standing beside this security measure”. “Yep, and what is this language?” asked Jianyu, as she looked at the weird letters on the screen. “I do not know what language it is, but I guess it’s probably a Drakarian’s language”, replied captain Keys as he copied the Drakarian’s letters onto a piece of paper, wrote some English letters under the Drakarians letters, and said, “I know some letters”. After a few minutes of guessing, the crew solved those words, which meant “Username” and “Password”. Now came the very hard part. How would the crew know what the username and password are, and what it is in the Drakarian’s language? About 30 minutes later, Kevin found out how to translate that language. “Now we have to guess the username and password,” said Jianyu impatiently. The username has 13 spaces to fill in and the password has 8 spaces to fill in. The crew tried guessing the username. They guessed all sorts of words, and at last, they decided to try all the letters in the alphabet, for the username and the password. First, they tried “A”. The first and the tenth space lit green. Then, they tried “B” …. nothing lit, “C”.... nothing lit, and “D”.... the second space lit green! It went for 7 minutes or so, and the crew already got “a d _ i _ i _ _ _ a _ _ _”. Then, about 2 minutes passed and the crew got “a d m i n i _ _ _ a _ _ _”! Thye could already guess what it was! One of the crewmates said that it’s probably “administrator”, so the crew translated, typed that in, and all the 13 spaces lit green! The crew was so happy until they realized that they still needed the password. “Oh come on!” said one of the crewmates. The same process happened but it took a shorter time, around one minute. The crew got “p a _ _ _ o _ d”, but they didn’t understand what it was, so one more minute got wasted…. Everyone was pretty surprised by what they got “p a _ _ _ o r d”. “The password can’t be password?!?!” exclaimed Jianyu, but they tried “password” anyways, and more surprisingly, when they typed “ss” it lit green! Just as the crew was about to type “w”, a drakarian carrying a huge bowl walked over! “Hide!” whispered a crewmate, even though the drakarian ignored them, they still hid. The drakarian walked up to the prison, put the bowl down, and left the way it came. “That’s the thing that has been keeping us alive,” said captain Keys. Kevin ran over and inside was a gooey “soup”. He then raised the bowl up and ate some. Another drakarian
came, and this time the crew did not hide. The drakarian walked up to the bowl, inhaled deeply, “Blaargh”, and it puked into the bowl. At that moment Kevin wanted to puke everything he ate. While Kevin had that feeling, a few shadows appeared and started getting bigger and bigger….
Day XI Breaking In Ethan The keyboard that they were suppose to hack had a strange language none of them understood. The group did a very unreliable way of guessing the code, they would guess for every word with random letters, in short, it was a pain to watch. Something else Ethan wished he didn’t see was when a stubby little durkarian came into the room and picked up some goo-like glop, then after seeing yet another durkarian stumble in and take a bowl with slightly less “food” and drool into the bowl. Ethan didn’t make it any better when he had an idea that he would spray red rock dust into the goop thinking that only the durkarians ate it, not knowing that the prisoners also depended on it. Fast-forwarding to the cells, with lunchtime coming and a durkarian coming in, they finally brought down the beast, tearing the poor creature’s arms off. The durkarians had once been the beast, but now Ethan felt like that they are the beast.
Okay we are cracking this code we got some letters and it is time to guess them. After a good hour of staring at it someone came up that it was an alphabet so we started spamming vowels while we were talking. A drakian came and I was barely hidden and caught.we had to disguise that it was intense.During “feeding time'' which was the food given to our comrades someone decided to drink it which was their saliva . Eric
CHAPTER TWELVE Πθζζλεσ ανδ Σεψρετσ The Chrysalis
Well, I don’t remember anything, like anything at all, it’s just a blank, all of it, I vaguely remember a big red light and something else, and when I start to remember stuff to the big strong guy was crying because someone hurt his feelings
I tried to fight everyone but Eric punched me and threw me on the ground, then Jianyu smacked me and I fainted. While walking through the corridor Brutus helped me walk and Ethan chose to ask a random turian and he said that they went to a curvy path with a yellowish glow, he also said that the thing was 18 feet tall that I really wanted to touch it. While walking I thought we were pretty quiet and that it was the same to everyone else. Once we entered a tight tunnel Jianyu told us to stop but Brutus was slow and we cracked into the person in front of us a bit. When everyone started to take a right turn, Then Jianyu told us to move backwards. When I looked in front of me I saw nothing and then Jianyu took the lead and I moved to the back again. After we entered a new room, I felt warm and the closer we got to the bottom of the dark area the warmer it got. After we got even closer we saw Drakarians in lines and heard a splashing noise until a yellow flash appeared and the crystal appeared and the Drakarians touched the crystal they screamed for a bit and then they stopped. After a few more minutes, I saw the flashes appear again until the crystal dimmed and the light stopped. I saw a Drakarians and asked, “tell me your secrets and I won’t punch you”, and it said “crystal” in a weird voice while drooling. I looked at the crystal and it looked like a dazzling gem, but I wasn't compelled to touch it unlike everyone else. I saw a door in the back while looking around in the yellowish glow, I walked toward it and entered without telling anyone and closed the door behind me. After a moment of looking around, the door exploded backwards and I got blasted to the back wall with the door nearly crushing me. When Brutus came, I said “Brutus you are stupid, do you know how doors work, you are so dumb I planned on killing you all.” Then Brutus left and Garus came and helped me up. Kevin
The Chrysalis By: Jianyu
The shadows were already close enough to reach them, when they realized it was Miranda, Brutus, and Garres! Garres is the captain of the Carma. “Why are you guys here?”Jianyu tried to ask. “We have no time to spare, let’s go,” said Miranda rapidly. Jianyu was about to ask more when Miranda led the group to the left then right, till they could see no more drakarians, nor the prison. For no reason, Kevin said “I’m going to punch everyone”, which made Eric decide to beat Kevin up, and Jianyu teamed up with Eric. First, Jianyu swung her fist at Kevin, then, Eric punched him, Kevin fought back, and as everyone watched silently, the fight ended with Kevin almost breaking his leg. The crew kept sneaking around with Brutus at the last of the line since he had to kinda hold on to Kevin, and Jianyu at the front of the line. The crew hid every time when drakarians walked by, and it seemed like the same two drakarians every time (drakarians all look similar). There were two ways to go, either the up “hill” way or the down “hill” way. Jianyu chose to go up. The farther she went the brighter it was. The crew kept walking as Jianyu thought this must be the exit. After a few minutes, the crew reached a big room, with an enormous crystal standing in the middle. There were loads of Drakarians around and walking towards the huge crystal looking like they are daydreaming. First, when all the Drakarians are touching the crystal it lights up very brightly for a little while, then the light suddenly disappears, and it keeps repeating. Jianyu had a thought “Wait, this is actually crystal? It would be worth a lot of money….”. Jianyu went over to the big crystal and used her fist to knock off a small piece. The inner part of the crystal was sticky and slimy, and the piece that she knocked off was still glowing. “oooooh”, said Jianyu, as she took out her long blade and tried to knock another piece off. “urgh, it won’t come off” Jianyu said to herself. No Drakarians seemed to notice her. After a minute or two, Jianyu successfully knocked off a big piece of crystal. Just as Jianyu was going to return to the crew, a few cremates started walking towards the big crystal with their eyes staring straightly at the crystal, shining. Jianyu narrowed her eyebrows. She walked up to a crewmate and shook him. He suddenly turned around and questioned, “Huh? What’s happening?”. The other crewmates that are not attracted to the big crystal started shaking all the attracted crewmates, and they woke. “This is not just a crystal” stated Miranda. “It…. it….it looks like a huge disgusting baby in there”, said one of the crewmates. “maybe,” said Jianyu.
Jianyu examined the crystals, she found out that the sticky part looks like tentacles, and suddenly she heard a “boooooooooommmm” sound. Jianyu turned around and saw Kevin shoot the big crystal! Now, all the Drakarians started panicking, while Kevin crept towards the wall trying to not be seen. Kevin kept backing up until he found a little door! He knew it was the exit of this crystal room so he tried opening the door. He decided to not tell anyone and run away himself. As Kevin was trying to open the door Jianyu started picking up rocks from the ground as samples. This time Eric managed to find the little door too, and he also decided to not tell anyone. Miranda suddenly walked towards Jianyu and pulled out Jianyu’s blue liquid gun, or the anti-material gun from her side. Jianyu was kind of confused as she looked at Miranda using her gun to shoot backward. Then, Jianyu jumped up and took the gun back just as Brutus came over, started throwing red rocks towards the Drakarians, and handed Miranda some. “Give me one!”, shouted Jianyu, and she added, “actually five!”. Miranda handed Jianyu five red rocks as she has asked. Jianyu threw one towards a Drakarians, but the red rock didn’t reach it. Jianyu wanted to save some for later, so she asked “Give me ten more!”. Miranda replied, “We don’t have that many!”, and she handed Jianyu Brutus’s bag. Jianyu took a look inside and said “Ooooh, there’s some good stuff inside”. Inside the bag, there was one more red rock left, a few bombs, and a long gun. Jianyu stuffed her stuff in the bag too, for easy carry. At this moment Kevin and Eric finally found out how to open the door, when Miranda started throwing bombs everywhere. Using this solution, she blasted through the little door that Kevin and Eric had found earlier. Before going through the door, Miranda, Garres,
and Brutus made sure that all the Drakarians seeing them had been red rocked (or drunk in other words since red rocks have alcohol in them). The door led the crew into a tunnel, going upwards. While going through the tunnel, Kevin, Jianyu, and Eric kept asking Brutus if he had more good stuff with him, which kinda hurt his feelings since they were only asking “What do have?”, instead of “How are you?”.
Day XII The Chrysalis Ethan Sooner or later, something real bad would happen. Ethan felt like the crew was just thirsty for blood, Kevin kept having an urge to punch everyone, after experiencing how Kevin got rolled he just really wanted to go back to the ship, but of course, everyone else was interested in the “ancient artifact” rumour. The next thing Ethan knew, was that everyone was lined up to touch the stone, it looked extremely interesting, however, something threw him off, something didn’t… seem right. He quickly explained to Eric that he felt really bad vibes from the artifact. Something was in the stone… something evil.
So at the prison Kevin wanted to punch someone so me and Jianyu restrained him by beating him.After that we talked to a terian and he said that there was a crystal naturally I would say GET ME THAT CRYSTAL but instead I WAS READY TO GET SOME CRYSTALS!When we found the crystals (all because I nes the 17348126 seas like the back of hand.When their we were instantly hypnotised as we walked to it Jianyu stole a piece but it came off like rubber I thought why we would see these amazing thoughts so instead I rejected it but then it revealed it’s true self to me and boy was that thing more ugly than a 600000 year old rat.It was a drakkairian rat disgusting creature.So I shot it with an assault rifle which blew it up and it started glowing at me.I said it wasn’t me but they weren’t convinced so I went to the back door and left they asked me where I was going and I just said nothing here.So they blasted the wall clean and we threw red rock grenades cause why not.So we created chaos and walked out like nothing happened Eric
CHAPTER THIRTEEN Πθζζλεσ ανδ Σεψρετσ The Queen
Maxwell A guy named Kevin goes on a suicide mission, I have no idea what he’s doing but everyone likes this idea (even though it’s supposed to be a suicide mission ) what happens is a mystery to me but we see a big spider and I start shooting at it, a few seconds later because everyone else is shooting at it, well, of course, like normal it doesn’t die well after that some drug called red rock gets into two people’s noses and as the spider isn’t dead and guns don’t work on it we need to run away so obviously I do that, but no one seems to be following me and when I have a bigger view it seems the queen is stuck to a big chair, like a throne as I notice this a big guy tries to stop me but a crash into him panting, he was a big man, as I’m panting, some guy comes out of nowhere and stabs me, but my crewmates shoot the guy who stabs be and when everyone except me defeated the big spider its blood healed me.
So I start planning to get Brutus and tie him up to use him as a sacrifice for a Drakarian encounter.After our brutal planning Kevin took some red rock I tried to stop him but Brutus said he was a “big boy” and he could use red rock and get rocked which made you 30 times more drunk then normal which I was pretty sure not good for you but he just dosed himself like that was all he knew.This is a hard to do Kevinis rocked and walking in the darkness while we sit here waiting for something to happen.After Kevin got pretty far I waited like 5 minutes to decide to check on him so me and Jainyu leaded the group ready to fire.Once we got to kevin I was pretty disappointed at him.He was I looked like he was staring at it in the eyes.I think he thought he was like Superman or something I don’t know.All I know is that he just stared at it’s soul. So I took out a matter distortion gun and fired a lot at it everyone followed me it was hurt just enough to let go of Kevin.The very next second we were in a dream we were drinking having fun Miranda told us to go in the portal and I went firing at it while Miranda told me to go in so me and Jainyu fire at Miranda.The jig was off and we were back. I thought that Miranda was a fake one in the dream but she wasn’t so I continued firing at the drakarin then I heard two Drakains behind me so I fired bullets at them and missed all of them so then the Queen attacked and almost hit someone.After that Ethan tackles me and Maxwell runs over the Drakarian confused I got hurt while firing at the Drakains with the assist of Ethan then the Queen slammed the claw at Jainyu which she barely missed then got grabbed by the other one Miranda dosed pulls up the claw while I see Maxwell getting carried by a Drakain as it threatens I killed it with 3 shots and says “that’s what you get”.Then the Ethan helps me up as I see the Queen crawl back I still shoot while Jainyu says we killed her child.Therefore the Queen came down and body slammed Jainyu which then Kevin charge tackles it saying John Cena then I shoot which misses then we kill it.The blood of the Queen healed us which I grabbed 2 bottles of it.Then we all got in a group hug in relief.Then I looked at the Queen and thought huh is this a little too easy?So I just went along with it. Eric
Kevin Garus gives me a bit of red rock dust from a red stick and I feel much stronger and I leave the group on a scout mission and I say to myself”I'm focused”. I was looking around the area and I remember to be sneaky and I hope that it works, and that I noticed around 15 feet to my left. I looked around more and I noticed a few eggs that were covered in silk. I tried to go to the drakarian and I used its own claw to kill it. I walked down a bit and I noticed a second warrior and I went around it and I saw a snake-type thing but it was just a claw that looked dead.Once my eye adjusted I saw the claw was attached to a giant dragon bug thing, then I went to a different drakarian and I use its claw to cut its head off. After I saw a light I lost my vision and I saw something shiny or a silver zipper thing until the light went back together, and then I heard an angel-like voice say “you have done an amazing feat and you should be rewarded”. I asked the light what the reward is and it responded “power, riches, fame, or anything that you want,” and it felt like it was my queen and I thought that I needed to feed it, then I felt like I needed to climb in its mouth. After I hear some bombs, I feel the need to run and I took a breath and fell, once I realized that, I used its claw and stabbed it into the queen. Once I opened my eyes I saw a place and everyone was drinking beer, and Miranda told us to go through a portal to go back home and I told myself this was just a drunken dream but Eric and Jianyu. I say I WANT TO GO HOME and Brutus says that we will go through the portal soon. I blink and then I don’t remember anyone here, and the battle is quite loud so I will go to the portal where it is probably more quiet. Then I touched the blue blood on my wounds and I felt way better, and the blood tasted like a sweet juice and my injuries didn’t hurt anymore, then I felt scared and weak, but I calmed down and felt sluggish. Then the angel voice that then did not sound that good said ”YOU LIE”!!! And it tried to eat Jianyu and I saw Ethan say”JOHN CENA” and softly brush the side of the queen, and then the queen suddenly died and we all got healed by the blue goo/blood.
The Queen By: Jianyu
The tunnel led the crew to a cave, with lots of bugs around. In the cave, there was another shorter tunnel that led to another bigger cave. The crew decided that they would have one person go over to check what’s in there, and Kevin volunteered. His leg has been healing a lot, but he still walked slower than the other crewmates. Inside the cave, there were more and more bugs, a bunch of tunnels, and a Drakarian. Kevin was a little scared, so he took out a red rock, ate it, and felt braver, but kind of unconscious. Kevin sneaked up to the Drakarian, pulled its arm, the Drakarian turned around, and then Kevin took out his knife and chopped off its head. Kevin walked forward and saw some long fuzzy sticks. Because it was too dark in the cave, he couldn’t really see what it was. It’s too big and too long to be a snake, and plus, snakes aren’t fuzzy. Jianyu picked up a rock from the ground, examined it, and it looked like honeycomb. “There must be some bees around here”, said Jianyu. Kevin walked closer to the big fuzzy stick, and it was revealed to be a ginormous spider! The sticks are its legs! Kevin still didn’t go back, but he was standing there, shocked. The crew decided to go find Kevin, with Eric and Jianyu in the lead. When the crew saw the ginormous spider, Miranda said “Oh God, is that-” and Garres continued, “the mom? of the disgusting baby?”. The spider crawled towards Kevin, somehow controlled his brain or something. It made Kevin think “Is this my mom? No, that doesn’t sound right. My queen? It’s my queen! I would do anything for my queen, and now my queen is hungry”. Kevin wandered in the spider’s mouth, as it opened slowly, and thought “How am I supposed to fit in? How can I feed my queen?”. At this time the whole crew started throwing grenades, red rocks, bombs and shooting at the queen. Kevin could see the bombs exploding around “his queen”, red rocks everywhere, and bullets. Kevin was worried, “something’s attacking my queen?”. Then he realized, “holy crap this thing is about to eat me!”. Kevin tried to run but his legs were grabbed by the queen. Eric starts blasting the spider, and Jianyu shouted at Kevin, “don’t get brainwashed! It’s a disgusting spider!!!”. At that moment, Kevin realized he is now in a very dangerous situation. The whole crew starts crazily shooting at the queen, Kevin managed to finally free himself, and he quickly ran over to join the crew. Suddenly, the queen started screaming. Everyone covered their ears but it was too late. The crew’s vision became blurry as Jianyu was thinking “I didn’t know that spiders can scream”. A few moments later their vision became clear again, and they could see people calling their name and saying “cheers!”. Miranda came over, pointed at a dark hole with nasty teeth around it, and said “Now all we have to do is go through that portal, and we will be back home!”. Eric thought “This is just a dream”, and Jianyu thought “The ugly spider is probably controlling our minds now. So that means…. Miranda is probably fake!”. Maxwell decided to run away, Ethan
decided to eat some red rocks, Eric and Jianyu both decided to shoot at the nasty teeth, and Kevin decided to go through the portal, but Eric and Ethan stopped him. Just as Eric and Jianyu started shooting, Miranda said “No no no, that’s not going to work. hmmm, what about Jianyu, you go in first?” as she tried pushing Jianyu in the portal. Jianyu thought “Yep, Miranda is not real for sure”. Jianyu took out her anti-material gun and shot at Miranda, and Eric copied Jianyu. Then, right after shooting Miranda, Everyone’s sight was blurry once again, and then clear. They were back at the queen’s cave, or chamber. Jianyu looked around, and she could see Miranda, standing in front of them, holding a medical kit, looking quite surprised. Jianyu thought, “Oh come on, how is it the real Miranda!?!?”. As Miranda fell backward, Jianyu ran over just in time to catch her. Miranda tried saying “Why did you shoot-”, but Jianyu smashed a red rock on her face and she fell asleep. Captain Keys now reached into his bag, pulled out something like glowsticks, cracked it, and threw it towards the queen. The glowsticks glowed around the queen’s claws and shined in a blue color. It seemed like the queen was sitting on a throne! “So it really is a queen….of this place,” thought Jianyu. The queen first tried to hit Kevin, and he got hit, then, the queen tried hitting Brutus. Brutus did a backflip and avoided the claws. Since Eric was now closest to the queen, he noticed that the red rocks have been preventing the queen from communicating with the Drakarians, but sadly, the crew is short of red rocks now. Kevin took the advantage of the queen not focusing on him, and he tried sneaking behind the queen to see if anything’s back there. Jianyu suddenly thought of a bad idea, she spat at the queen’s face while jumping, and the queen took it as an offense. The queen turned towards Jianyu and swung her claws at Jianyu. Jianyu avoided it but the queen swung again and she pinned Jianyu to the ground. Jianyu tried as hard as she could to try to lift up the claw, but it didn’t work. Then, Jianyu felt the claw being lifted up! It was Miranda still red rocked and now not feeling any pain! Jianyu quickly stood up and with the help of Miranda, Jianyu chopped the queen’s claw off. The queen squeaked in pain as blue blood shot out of her wound. The queen crawled up onto the ceiling where it was dark and the crew couldn’t see her. Jianyu yelled in an offensive way up into the ceiling “You see that crystal in that other room? we killed the baby inside! is it your baby? You loser!!!”. Everyone heard a high-pitched screeching sound from the ceiling, then they heard the queen growl “YOU LIE!!!”, and then a snapping sound. The queen suddenly slammed herself into the middle of the room, right in front of Jianyu. The queen grabbed Jianyu and attempted to eat her. Eric threw a missile but fail, and Ethan body-bumped the queen while yelling “John Cena!!!”, but fail too. Jianyu looked
inside the queen’s mouth and wondered “Do spiders have tongues?”. Jianyu saw something in there, she wasn’t quite sure if it is a tongue, or something else. Jianyu took out her long blade as the queen’s mouth almost reached her. Right before the queen actually stuffed Jianyu inside her mouth Jianyu used the long blade to stab inside the queen’s mouth. The queen collapsed onto the ground, as Jianyu finally got released from the queen’s claw. “She dead yet?” asked Jianyu gasping for air. No one answered her. Jianyu realized the queen’s blue blood is all over her! For a second Jianyu thought she was going to die, but then she felt as all her wounds are healing!
Day XIII The Queen Ethan At the start, all they could hear was Kevin destroying things. After some time, they got into the action as they were greeted with a monster that Ethan would resent for the rest of the voyage. It looked like a mix between a worm, a snake, and an animal with claws. Ethan decided to wreck himself with a spray of red rock (totally did not regret that decision). He tried to support Eric but ended up tackling Eric instead of one of the durkarians. They later found out they wounded the queen and learned that its blood would cure any type of injury. Then, at last, Ethan had an absurd idea that he would try eating one of the durkarians.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN Back to the Bridge
After killing the big spider (which turned out to be the queen) and we turn on our disguises to go back to the ship. Somewhere along the way, a person gets a big jar full of somehow alive frogs, at least it looked like frogs, and throws it to someone and they eat it. He said it tasted good. Some people wanted sabotage so they wanted me to go to sabotage one ship by myself. In my pocket, I see some coins in my pocket so I pour them into the engine to sabotage it, and I punch the people guarding the ship to get the bag that they had. I go back to the group trying to get to the ship and we see the fake captain and I just go to sleep, I’m too tired.
After we left, we returned to the hangar that we started in, and they seemed to be searching for us in space but other than that they seemed normal and a few of them were talking. Ethan then gave me one, and I ate it and it tasted like a slimy chicken. Once we got to the ARK, we saw a Drackarian looking through a federation duffel bag. Once everyone was done sabotaging, I saw Ethan and Jianyu arguing but did nothing, and Eric ran in front of me. After we went deeper in the ship, the seal from one of the air ducts fell and Eric climbed up, and after we walked a bit we talked to Miranda and Gideon came in and I got to navigate the ship and sit on the chair, while Miranda asked me if I saw anything interesting and I told her my ridiculous story about some blue goo and the giant crystal thing. While I was focusing on flying the ship, I heard a loud clang and saw a fire extinguisher fly above me, and I glanced behind me and saw Miranda with eyes full of hatred, and I spun the wheel and the whole ship pitched. I looked back again and saw a full-grown Drakarian behind me and I saw a giant cut at the front windshield after I spun the wheel in the opposite direction. After a few mere seconds, I still spun the wheels left and right and just saw the windshield just come back together and the sensation of breathing come back but still spinning the wheel. I took off my seatbelt and punched Miranda in the face but got punched and glided just in front of the windshield and I heard the computer say several Drakarian ships around us. Kevin
The Battle for the Bridge By: Jianyu
The crew found out that the queen’s blood is some kind of magical medicine, so all of the people that got wounded healed. Half of the crew took some samples to use in case of getting hurt again, including Jianyu, who took two samples. The crew discovered a big tunnel behind the queen’s throne, and they went through it. The tunnel led to a hallway and the crew passed by two Drakarians eating something from a jar. When the two Drakarians left Ethan hurried over to the jar and looked inside. He was pretty sure there were two frogs in the jar. The rest of the crew went over too, and Jianyu thought “Drakarians eat frogs!?!? That’s so gross!” when she saw what was in the jar. Ethan grabbed a frog out of the jar and ate it as it was resisting! He almost puked! Jianyu then thought “Holy crap, and they eat it alive!?”. Ethan then handed the other frog to Kevin, and Kevin took out his pocket knife, chopped off the head, arms, legs, and ate the body! Kevin also almost puked. Jianyu commented, “I think that’s not really the correct way to eat frogs. First, you don’t eat it alive, and second, I think you eat the frog’s legs, not the body”. Kevin replied, “I don’t care”. The frog tasted something like chicken with pickled eggs for Ethan and Kevin. The crew kept on going and they ended with two ways to go. The first way looked like there was a room with engines in it, and there was also a Drakarian walking in. The second way had two Drakarian warriors walking around. The crew decided to go to the room with the engines. When the crew went in, they saw a toolbox and the Drakarian. The Drakarian looked at us and sighed. Eric stuttered “Uh…. H-how is your d-d-day?”. “So-so”, replied the Drakarian. Another crewmate then questioned, “W-why are you here?”. The Drakarian answered, “I’m here to fix the engine”. Jianyu didn’t really know why she did it, but she still did it. She walked up to the Drakarian and tried ripping his arm off. “Oooowwww!” yelled the Drakarian. “What are you doing?” whispered one of the crewmates, and he smashed a few red rocks onto the Drakarians face. The Drakarian made an “ahhhh” sound as two other crewmates pulled Jianyu away. Everyone went back to examine the engine leaving the Drakarian asleep on the floor. While everyone was discussing what the engines are for, Jianyu noticed a little tiny cover on the side of the engine. She took the toolbox, took out the screwdriver, and unscrewed the screws on the little cover. Inside she could see some tubes with liquid stuff inside, and she used her pocket knife to carve in one, not all the way through, but just enough so that the liquid starts leaking. After doing that, Jianyu screwed the cover back on, and then she put the toolbox beside the Drakarian because she thought when the Drakarian awakens it might think it just had a strange dream, and when it sees the toolbox, it might think it already checked the engine, so it won’t double-check.
A few minutes later the crew headed back to the ship, trying to not be noticed, although Jianyu was murmuring loudly about how they could’ve killed the Drakarian, and Ethan was not very quiet too. The crew already reached the bridge, which is the last path to go before entering their ship, with Kevin in the lead, and Eric following him right behind, but Jianyu and Ethan started a fight, and it was attracting lots of attention! Eric ran past Kevin and entered the ship first, aware of the fake Miranda, which was discovered as a fake Miranda when the crew and the fake Miranda contacted, with the real Miranda was right beside them.
Day XIV The battle for the bridge Ethan It was NOT a fun time on the ship, a series of disasters rocked Ethan and his crew. They all came close to dying, they found out the true identity of the false Miranda, guess the durkarian happened to be a deformed giraffe. Ethan didn’t get spared from the karma, he crashed against the glass which threatened to crack, but Ethan guessed he was luckier than Jianyu who broke out into open space. After all, if they ever made it back home, he would miss this one-of-a-kind voyage. Life would return back to normal.
There I was in a sabotage Miranda knew nothing about what we did so that meant some sabotaging for us so I,Ethan,Jainyu sneaked up the hallway waiting for the moment to sabotage absolutely everything. I was worrying whether we would get caught not but I continued down. I didn’t know whether Ethan and Jainyu were as worried as I was but I didn’t stop to ask continuing down. Once there we talked to the mechanic all friendly but than Jainyu started trying to rip off his hand while he was probably already going through life dilemmas I was sorry for the drakarian but that didn’t mean we could stop know only pushing on so I opened the machine and it looked like a nervous system so I messed around with it then Jianyu walked up and sabotage it like she knew it like the back of her hand. So we decided to go off and leave the area and head back. The others were arguing as loud as they could ,but I tried to ignore them ,then when we came back Miranda said “why didn’t you tell me that you came back” we responded that we were just running away. She paused for a moment then we asked for the sandwiches then she left.I heard something in the vents so I crawled in and when I was about to throw red rock Algar was there so we talked and he said that they were getting replaced. So I got my gun and prepared for war. Then my group just decided not to. Then Jainyu went off to cook food after a while I went to help.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN The Final Βαττλε
Some guy named Kevin flipped the ship to wake me up from my good night’s sleep and we beat the aliens on our ship, it’s kind of a blank period for me, all I remember is something that looked like a fire extinguisher hitting a big monster in the head and me shooting something when I tried to escape, well after we beat the aliens we realized that there were three ships looming over us, I guess they saw the commotion and realized the agents they sent on the ships were discovered and they tried to kill us, one of the ships I sabotaged blew up and we just shot the other ones, we went home after that and we found a bomb but we dismantled it.
Then Eric said LUNCH IS READY and then I glanced back and saw Eric shoot the Drackarian on my left while I was trying to grab a sandwich. After I punched a few random buttons and the computer said fire suppression system activated and a bunch of mist fills the room while the doors snap shut. Then I pushed more buttons and the lights turned off, then I felt something grab me then I got hurled across the room hitting my head on the ceiling. Then I decided to punch glowing red-eye and then I felt something sharp hit my hand and it spilt in half. After I heard Gideon say EVERYONE HIT THE DRACKARIANS IN THE HEAD BECAUSE THEY ARE POWERLESS WITHOUT THEIR BRAIN. Later outside the window I saw the cocoon and 3 fighter ships and I suggested that we surrender but my suggestion was just ignored, then I’m like let’s retreat and then we shot into space twice and got shot, then we shot the ship and rammed into the fighter ship. After some argument, we decided to go forward and turn left, and even later, we blinked behind a rock and shoot another fighter ship. After that, we shot at the wreckage and moved back everyone was shouting, and I went from med bay to the bridge. Then I voted to shoot at it and we did but also charged at it. Then we went behind the rock just before the cocoon shot at us and blasted almost all of the rock in front of us only leaving a bit behind, then we went forward to look at the karma shoot the cocoon. Then we turned left then right then hit a shot on it. Then we all yelled fire and the giant bomb exploded and the cocoon exploded inside of it and finally, we were going home. The trip back lasted 3 days and I was strapped to the med-bay most of the time and after I was just sleeping the rest of the time until I got back and the second we got back Eric yelled, THERE IS A BOMBand I saw an acid liquid and there was also a black thing in a few tubes and there was a thing that said 19 minutes until decontamination complete. And then we saw a keypad that was written in drackarian and I decided to watch the others fix it and once it went under 16 minutes I said that everyone was stupid. Then I told everyone told ya and then Eric guessed it right then the green goop spilled and it felt like slime. -Kevin Cui
Day XV The final Bαττλε Ethan Ethan felt like he was the lamest Asari in existence. He had been practically useless in the whole past time he had experienced. Ethan’s luck also seemed to be running on low, most of his actions didn’t do any good to him. During the space fight, Ethan was absolutely pissed off at how suffering his crew could be when people would listen to his suggestion someone would order a totally different move. However, they had some surprising outcomes with random callouts, but in the end, they ended up victorious, and as they sailed through the space. Ethan thought about it, he would never experience any else like this, and now it was coming to an end. They would return to their normal lives not knowing what would await them when they got back. Before Ethan could even relax, they were met with another close call, it was a bomb, a durkarian bomb, but they disarmed it, with a surprisingly good outcome, but at last, it was over. Ethan really had to think about writing a book about his voyage, like how some really stupid encounters he had and mistakes.
After coming back with tootsie rolls my team was fighting Miranda, I pulled my gun and fired at them while threatening Miranda once she was eliminated the power went out I realized that this meant they had the advantage. I had to have eyes in the back of my head but I didn't have that. I was shooting frantically. I had no idea whether I hit something or missed once I finished firing everywhere we killed them all and all of the Draikarians were eliminated. We rode back to Federation space. It was amazing. To feel safe and not need to have eyes in the back of your head. We were safe, we didn't need to ponder and worry where or what they would do. We could do everything but safely. They can’t attack us. After that we heard a message that it was a rogue ship I didn’t believe it.
The Final Battle By: Jianyu
It was all very exciting, I can definitely remember trying to make Miranda a BAD sandwich and possibly attack Kevin BUT I was sucked out into the vacuum of space and nearly died! Everything after that is a blur, hey whats that beeping noise... I'll be back in a second.
EPILOGUE
Maxwell goes home and dies by falling on a knife.
- Bruh.
I felt very tired and restrained because I was tied to med-bay the whole time but I felt proud of myself and I felt like I made the right decisions even if I was at the brink of death.
-Kevin Cui
Epilogue By: Jianyu
On the way to returning home, Jianyu was kinda sad that the mission ended. The mission was dangerous, but it was fun! When Jianyu got home the first thing she did was plan how much should she sell the big crystal for. She came up with the idea of 3.6 billion dollars, which was probably overpriced, but I mean it’s from outer space, so Jianyu still stuck with the price. After taking tons of time to think about who to sell it to and how, Jianyu thought of nothing, so she searched online. She finally decided to sell it at the world’s top auction. Jianyu wrote a description just in case: This crystal is not just an ordinary crystal. It came from outer space and is considered a very very precious treasure from the aliens. It belongs to the queen of the aliens that is better at technology than us. It is verified and confirmed by an engineer from the space federation. This crystal will glow a bright gold light whenever you touch it, and it contains elements that the Earth hasn’t discovered yet. It took Jianyu two whole weeks to finish the procedure of the auction and sell it. At the auction, there were 5 people that were willing to buy it. The first person offered 3.65 billion dollars, the second person offered 3.69 billion, the third person 3.75 billion, the fourth person 3.9, and the fifth person offered 3.84 billion dollars. Of course, Jianyu accepted the fourth person’s offer, and it was a deal! Jianyu was overjoyed when she received the 3.9 billion dollars! Jianyu thought of different ways she could spend it, including traveling around the world, but at last, she decided to 1. Get a dog 2. Donate 0.5 billion to the federation for upgrading the spaceships 3. Invest, and the rest as savings. Later that week Jianyu went to Lion’s hiking park again, but this time, she went with a tour group….
Epilogue Ethan Ethan didn’t know what to do or feel, his mission had been finished, he had made it through. The expedition had been something Ethan had never felt before, but after it all ended, Ethan felt like something was wrong and missing as if he wanted to experience the passion Ethan felt while on the ship. Ethan wouldn’t forget it, he couldn’t. What he would do, would either send Ethan to doors of death, or it would remind Ethan of the long sorrow of Ethan’s mission. And he would only have one way to find out.
After a long journey I greeted my mom and siblings. I knew to keep quiet on what happened so I just layed in my bed till daybreak. I was tired of not being able to properly brush my teeth. I was tired of the feeling in space. It was horrible. Then I went on vacation on a private island. Sleeping was amazing. I could rest under the shade and sleep. I went over to the vending machine and drank some pop and coca cola.Then I went to swim. Swimming with the amazing marine animals was amazing. It was great. I could sleep and have no reason to wake up in the middle of the night. I could rest without being hurt by drakains it was great. After that long journey of adventures I fell asleep.
