Rabk- Part 3


Rabk- Part 3

Happenings in the Town



Rabk lay there, trying to say that he didn't know who Peter was or where he was, but when he tried to speak, he couldn't. "Tell me!" yelled the impatient pirate, pressing his sword closer to Rabk's neck. Being that Rabk was still speechless, the pirate spoke again, scratching his goatee with his hook hand. "Very well, boy. Any last words? Not that they'll be remembered or anything. I just say it to sound dramatic." As he said this, a ticking noise came from the manhole next to Rabk's head. The pirates eyes widened, then he screamed and jumped away as a ticking crocodile pushed the manhole cover out of its way. Rabk, realizing that the sword was gone from his neck rolled away from the crocodile. Obtaining a barrier of other pirates in between himself and the crocodile, the pirate looked back to Rabk, saying "Just a minute, you." , but as he said this, a thumping sound came from behind him, the pirate became stiff, and he fell forward close to where Rabk lay. Rabk stared for a minute at the fallen pirate, then up at where the pirate had stood, finding Beowulf in the pirate's place, admiring the bottom of his sword. "The butt of a sword is a very useful thing, isn't it?" he said cheerfully. Pointing his sword at the pirate, he continued, "That's Captain Hook, the pirate. You don't want to mess with him." All the other pirates, except the one getting eaten by the ticking crocodile, stared at them, amazed.Beowulf pulled Rabk to his feet and led him out of the pirate crowd. Beowulf brought Rabk to a domed building with several gold miners coming out of it. "Wait right here," said Beowulf "I'll be right back out. Just need some supplies." Rabk leaned up against the wall. The small duck pond had turned into a large river with a harbour and fishing community on the other side of it. A giant was trying to wade across the river, muttering about how it was quiet a muddy puddle. Near the giant were two boys on the raft, one of which was waving around a dead cat. As Rabk watched the river, a large plant with a mouth in a pot hopped into view. It then spoke, or sang, "I'm hungry!" Rabk tried to back up, but he was already against the wall. The vines of the plant shot out towards Rabk, but as the vines reached for him, a sword cut the vines in half and Beowulf ran up to the plant, chopping of its head. The plant instantly disintegrated. Beowulf turned to Rabk and said "Talking plants are another thing that you should avoid. None of them are that friendly." "But you killed it!" said Rabk. "Would you rather have it kill you?" asked Beowulf. Rabk couldn't answer that one. "Anyway, nobody dies here, they just reappear in the place where they first came into this world. Now here are some weapons you might want. Your sword, your knife, and your pistol. You'll need these. Now lets get to the harbour." The walked down to the harbour, where submarines to Spanish galleons were docked. The harbour seemed to go on forever. Finally, they came to an ancient Greek galley. "I'll go talk to the captain. You..." Beowulf paused "Defend yourself." Beowulf then hopped on board and disappeared from sight. Luckily, nothing tried to attack Rabk while Beowulf was gone. When Beowulf came back, a tanned, well-built man came out with him. "Good News!" said Beowulf, smiling, "This man has agreed to take us to the library!" "Great!" said Rabk, stepping forward. He held out his hand to the captain. "I'm Rabk." The man shook Rabk's hand firmly. "Pleased to meet you," he said "I'm Odysseus."

Rabk-Pt. 2


Rabk Part 2

Understanding the World



Rabk pased back and forth. Beowulf stood near by, still standing heroiclly with Grendal's arm. Rabk stopped and turned to Beowulf. "So you're saying that there is no way back to the real world?" he asked. Beowulf rolled his eyes. "For the, like, fortieth time, there is no way for you to go back. This is you're world now! No changing that!" "But this isn't the real world! I need to somehow get back! How did I get here anyway?" Beowulf shrugged. "All I know is that all of us come from a books. Ask the Librarian." "Yeah, but I don't come from any stinking book. And I need--" Rabk paused. "Did you say the Librarian? Aren't there hundreds of librarians in books?" "Yeah, but only one is designated to run the Library." "And what is in this 'Library'?" "Every story, book, and movie ever made up in the real world." Rabk got excited. "Maybe the librarian knows how I should get back! Can you take me there?" He asked Beowulf. Beowulf grinned. He just couldn't resist an adventure. "Sure," he said "But you're going to need a boat." Rabk looked as confused as a armadillo on ice. "Why do I need a boat?" he asked. Beowulf studied his sword. "Oh, just because the library happens to be half-way arround the world from here." Rabk basically collapsed onto the ground. Beowulf looked down in an amused/annoyed sort of way. "Awe, c'mon! Its not that bad. I even know one of the best crews out there." Rabk opened his eyes. "Who is this great crew of yours?" Beowulf smiled. "C'mon if you want to find out." he said, and with that he walked off. Rabk got up and followed him. They ventured into what used to be a shopping center. As they went onto the main street, a dressed rebbit ran by, waving his pocketwatch arround and complaining about the time. He rather large little girl ran by, holding an empty bottle reading 'Drink me'. Rabk had to jump to get out of the way of this giant girl, but Beowulf, with the slightest movement of his shoulder, went right in between the monstorous legs as if nothing ever happened. Rabk quickly ran to catch up with Beowulf. "So where are we going?" he asked. "To the River!" said Beowulf. "The river?" asked Rabk, confused, "But there are no rivers around here! Just a small pond!" Beowulf, fully annoyed by now, turned arround, almost yelling, "Look arround you, man! This is not your world! Don't you expect that something might be different here?" Rabk did look arround him. The local butcher shop was no longer selling pig and cow, but dragon and whale. A blonde girl, with flowing blonde hair, leaned her head over he balcony, her face scrunched up in pain. As Rabk's eyes followed the hair down to the ground, he found a prince unsuccessfully trying to climb up the hair. Although Rabk spent a coupleamusing moments watching this prince, his eyes soon were brought tho the roof by gunfire, where riflemen, archers, and some cannibals were shooting each other off the roofs. Rabk looked forward to find Beowulf far ahead of him on their way down the street. Rabk realized he wasn't walking, so he decided to start again, but as Rabk walked, the door of what used to be a olive oil shop opened to release an army of pirates attacking each other randomly, as if in a bar fight. As Rabk observed, a man fell out a window, falling onto Rabk. The pirate yelled at Rabk, about to punch him when a shiney boot hit the pirate off of him. The boot immediately was on Rabk's chest, taking the place of the pirate. The boot was connected to a man with long, curley hair and a red suit. A giant feather stood on top of the man's red hat. A hand pulled a sword from the man's side, putting it to Rabk's neck. " Tell me where Peter is, boy." Rabk just lied there, hands in the air, too afraid to speak. "Tell me boy!" yelled the man, "Or you die!"

Rabk- Part 1


I decided to make a story. No Paragraphs though!

Rabk, Part 1

Beginnings



There was once an odd man named Rabk Doomfish . Rabk was about the average height and weight of a 20 year old. He had ruffled brown hair and always had a confused look stuck on his face. One day, Rabk went for a walk. While walking, he decided to go down to the nearest local coffee shop. When he got in, he found all the customers in two groups. One group was made up of medieval soldiers, and the other half looked as though they had popped right out of the 25th century. Despite this, Rabk kept his mind and went up to the cashier, who was a talking raccoon, who had a name tag which said "MR. Raccoon". Rabk ordered a mocha, but instead, Mr. Raccoon handed him a goblet of wine. As he drank, a boy with glasses and a scar on his forehead peeked into the room, then he and two other kids in black robes came in. Scar-head grabbed the goblet, saying "At last! The professor will be so pleased with our finding of his Goblet of Fire." Another man came in through the manager's office and jumped over the counter. He had a Faddora on and held a whip in his hand. "I don't know about this 'Goblet of Fire' of yours," he said, "but that cup ain't on fire, and it's the Holy Grail." He then used his whip to pull the goblet from the boy with the glasses. "No, you can't take the Goblet!" said the boy, and with that, he pulled a wooden stick out of his pocket, and pointed it towards Fedora-Man. Then he said something which, to Rabk, sounded like 'Poof ' in Latin. A blue light came forth from the stick, shooting straight for the whip guy. The man ducked, and the blob of light hit Mr. Raccoon. The scar boy and his friends jumped on the Fedora man. The medieval dudes and the futuristic men all took sides. Rabk went outside for some fresh air. When he got outside, a bus rolled, on its side, through the parking lot. It stopped on the opposite side of the parking lot, lying on its side. A roar came from inside and the whole ceiling crumpled in and was ripped of the rest of the bus to reveal a green blob of a monster. A lady in high heals ran out from behind the monster and ran away, screaming. The blob roared, lumbering after the damsel, but as he did, a voice came from behind Rabk, saying "Stop, Grendel, you monster of evil. Your days of destruction are over, for I, Beowulf, have come to stop you, for I am Beowulf the great, the brave, the awesome." And with that, Beowulf ran around Rabk, charging towards Grendel with his sword pointed right towards Grendel. Grendel looked over, roared, and charged. Beowulf then jumped up on a car, using it as a ramp and jumped, turning around in the air, landing onto Grendel's back. Grendel, taken by surprise, flailed his arms wildly, trying to grab Beowulf, who raised his sword and cut off Grendel's arm. Grendel roared, grabbing the stub of an arm he had left and retreating sluggishly towards the grocery store. Rabk walked up to Beowulf, standing heroically over the arm. "Hi. Can you tell me where I am and how I get back home?" Beowulf looked at him "This is the fantasy world. Without this world, reality could not exist with all those books ever written." Rabk was unsurprised. He had kind of grasped the fact that this wasn't earth when the raccoon started talking. "Well, I'm from the real world." He said "and how do I get back." Beowulf looked at him, confused. "Oh, you're from the real world?" he asked "Well, forget that life, 'cause there's no going back. Anything that comes here, stays here.

My Family

If you haven't realized, I happen to have a family. As I recently found out, my family is huge!!! I haven't even met everyone in my family! Because my family is so huge, I will limit this post to my close family. My mother is named Helen, and when she is in Canada, she thinks that she can only blog, facebook, email, etc. at night. This just happens to keep me awake because the laptop just so happens to be in my room. But, Oh! Well... Moving on, my father is named Tim. My older sister is 15 and she is named Shannon. She watches me at me while I eat. My mom says its because she cares about my table etiquettT, but I'm still kind of scared when she does it. My little sister is 9 and is named Miriam. She is small, but can do big things. She also likes making her own huge towns on Sims 2 and loves the movie "Bolt". We have to turtles that live in our backyard, where we put them. They are named Beethoven and Checkov. Yeah, Yeah... I know the names are historic, but I think its cool. Our third turtle will either be named Franz Liszt or Pagannini, but my sisters are sitll fighting over it. We also have 8 finches , I think. We used to have about 15, but they keep dying. We also have a dove named La-La, named after Miriam's first words when she was a baby.There is animal that lives in my room, too. He is a hermit crab and he is named Fredrick II. Fredrick II was named after another hermit crab who died, named Fredrick or Fredrick I. the weird thing is that Fredrick the II is about 5 times the size Fredrick the first was when he died. That's my family and I wouldn't have them any other way. ... except maybe having Shannon stop staring at me and my mom going on the computer in Canada at night.

Hello World!
