Free Hunters Part 1

This story will be like Rabk, a story written in many parts, but unlike Rabk, this story is a little more serious. I'm not saying that its creepy or scary, just serious. Let me present to you, my new story.




Free Hunters


Museum Theft
Part 1




R.J. and Terral stood on the roof of the museum. As R.J. used a heated knife to cut through the skylight's glass, Terral kept watch for anything that might be a threat. Although she saw nothing, she knew that someone was out there on the roof. "We're being watched," she said nervously. R.J. looked up at her. "You are so paranoid. Nobody could have possibly known about our plans." Terral kept staring at the rest of the empty roof. "I know," she said, sighing, "But it still seems too easy." R.J. rolled his eyes. "Sure it is," he said sarcastically, "Now help me pull this skylight off." Terral went over to the opposite side of the skylight from R.J. and they lifted the skylight out of place. R.J. put his hand to the earpiece that he was wearing. "Any cameras, Winston?" he asked. A voice crackled in. "All cameras are deactivated, R.j. You're free to go." R.J. jumped down into the hallway, followed closely by Terral. Both took out small cylindrical objects from their pockets and squeezed them. The cylinders instantly began glowing a green light. In the light, the features of the two criminals could be seen. R.J. had jet black hair and an Asian face. Terral was very different. She was Caucasian with dirty-blond hair pulled back into a ponytail. "Okay, Bren," said R.J. "Where do we go?" A different voice came into the earpiece. "Just a moment, R.J. Winston's pulling up your information. " Winston's voice came in. "Okay, now we can read your homing signals. R.J. leaned against a wall. "Just tell us where to go." "Patience, R.J. All you need to do is go through the door next to the wall you're leaning on.You'll find a door on the other side of that room. Go through it and you'll be in the right room." R.J. jumped back to his feet and started picking the lock. It was a very large lock, but because the museum building was made before the Condensing, it was a simple lock to pick. The Condensing was the time when the whole population of Keartone, the Great City, was condensed into a much smaller walled area. Soon, R.J. had picked the lock, and they were in. As Terral followed R.J. through the doorway, she turned, but she saw nothing. R.J. turned to look at her. "What are you doing? We don't have all night!" "I don't know," said Terral, still staring at the empty hallway. "I thought I heard something." "That's great," said R.J., annoyed. "Now can we move on?" Slowly, Terral turned back towards R.J. and followed him into the room the needed to get to. In the middle of the room was a glass case. Inside of it was a case was an ancient mask, from before the Condensing. R.J. pulled the heat knife out of his pocket. "Are the alarms off, Winston?" he asked. "Off as could be." said the voice. Bren's voice came in soon afterwards. "Now, R.J., take your time. We don't want anything crashing around." "You got it," said R.J., turning on his knife. R.J. bent down to the exhibit and stabbed the knife into the glass. He slowly cut a circle into the glass as Terral watched silently from behind him. After a short while, R.J. pulled his knife out and grabbed the top of the newly made glass circle. "Done," he breathed. A sigh of relief came from both Terral and the voices in the earpiece.Terral slowly reached into the hole, but paused, saying "The alarms are off, right?" "You got it," said Winston. She pulled the golden mask out of the exhibit. She smiled. "Funny mask, eh?" "Yeah," said R.J., chuckling. "Who were the Greeks, anyway?" As they laughed, the unwanted sound of an alarm echoed through the room.

Poem, A Epic




MY HOMEWORK





My homework is unsupreme
And it made me scream
I don’t like my homework
It is my teacher’s fork


It’s their utensil
Along with their pencil
To force us to look like a dork

One day I fought the forks
To make us stop looking like dorks
They joined with spoons
From big lagoons
And now the are large sporks

The sporks are dorks
And I’m a fork
‘Cause I won the battle
It was such a rattle


And now I am unsupreme

Rabk- Part 8

Rabk Part 8

Finding Home



After many adventures and trials, Rabk, Odysseus, and Beowulf had made it through the most dangerous part of the journey, a land called The Death Islands. These islands held the homes of many of the monsters of the Imagination World. As the crew exited this terrible land, a cheer went up that made the talking birds look down in confusion. As they finished cheering, they realized they were low on supplies. They stopped at the next island they found. It was very green and had no signs of civilized life. After landing, the men started to notice little details of life, such as a chopped tree and a simple hunting trap. When they had made it deep into the forest, they found the island's main feature, a large tree house built high into the trees, and it wasn't some child's tree house. It had running water, bedrooms, and even a kitchen. As they stood in awe, a man came cautiously out of the woods. "Hello, there!" he said. It was a well-built, blond man with a large knife in his hand. "Hello!" said Beowulf, stepping forward, "We mean you no harm. We are here to find supplies." The man put his knife away. "Well, in that case, hello! I am Robinson Crusoe, and this is my home." Rabk stepped up, staring at the tree house, "Is there anyone else on this island?" he asked. Robinson laughed. "Only me and some strange family who uses my first name as their last, but there is not enough food on this island for your crew. There is barely enough food for the few of us who live here already." The crew thanked Crusoe and left. As they walked off, Beowulf turned to Rabk. "Have you ever read Robinson Crusoe's story?" he asked. "No, why?" asked Rabk. "Well," said Beowulf, his face confused, "As we left, Crusoe said something like 'Wait 'til Saturday hears this!' or something." Rabk shook his head. "I don't know." "Oh, well," responded Beowulf, sighing. "Just wondering." When they had sailed, they found another island, but this one was much bigger than the last one. Odysseus squinted. "That's Ithaca." he said quietly. "What?" asked Beowulf. "That's Ithaca!" yelled Odysseus excitedly. The men all dropped their oars and looked overboard. Sure enough, it was Ithaca. All the men quickly went back to their oars and rowed ten times faster than usual. Soon they got to the island, and Athena appeared to them. She explained to Odysseus what he needed to do, then she signed autographs for the crew. Beowulf congratulated Rabk for having his first 'god-sighting'. After Odysseus had taken care of all his wife's suitors, Odysseus gave Beowulf and Rabk a tour of his long lost home. They met Penelope, Telemachus, and even the swineherd, Eumaus. Then they threw a party which lasted all night. When Rabk rested happily in his bed, he realized something very important to him. What if Odysseus wouldn't go with them any farther? He decided to ask, so the next morning, before anyone other than Odysseus was up. "Hey, Odysseus!" said Rabk, running up to the king. Odysseus turned and smiled at Rabk. "What can I do for you, my friend?" "Well, now that you're home and all, I was wondering if you will still help me get to the library." Rabk said nervously. Odysseus frowned. "Well, I don't know...It's just....Well...I just got back... the men won't go...I think I can't go away anymore... Penelope won't let me...But I'll lend you a ship." Soon afterwards, Rabk sat in a small row boat, rowing. Beowulf sat across from him expressionlessly. As he rowed, Rabk glared at the small silhouette on the island, watching them leave.

Rabk- Part 7

Rabk
Part 7

The Jungle Beast


As the ship went through the ocean, many monsters were encountered. The monsters ranged from one as bad as 'She' to aliens that were shaped like poodles. When the ship had almost exited the most dangerous part of the journey, the came to an island. Compared to Circe's island, it was large. It had mountains in the middle, surrounded by jungle areas, and on the edges of the island, tall cliffs stood, keeping the beach from touching the jungle. Odysseus gave the order to land. Rabk went up to him, worriedly. "Why are we landing?" "We need food" replied Odysseus calmly. "But why couldn't we wait until we get out of this monster-infest area of the ocean?" Odysseus looked at him seriously. "I don't know when we are going to see land next, so we are going to get some food, even if it means facing another monster." Then Odysseus walked off the ship, following his men. Rabk came soon afterwards, though he was reluctant. After walking around on the beaches of the island, the men found a small cut in the cliff which led to the jungle above. This passage was guarded be some natives to the island, who were wearing feathered hats and holding spears. The guards made a strange call up the passageway. Soon, more natives came down the passage an looked at Odysseus's crew. Odysseus's men put their hands up as the natives walked around them and studied them. As they did this, a horn from the jungle sounded. The natives looked up, then all ran into the jungle again, even the guards this time. "That was weird" said Beowulf "Most tribal natives would have taken prisoners." , but nonetheless, the search party went into the jungle. The party found a large bounty of fruits. They found apples, oranges, and grapes, but mainly found bananas, which were stacked up on primitive alters all around the island. As they turned to head back to the boat, they heard a terrifying roar. They tried to move a bit faster in the direction of the boat, but suddenly, another roar came, and this time it was right behind them. As they turned, a large gorilla appeared from out of the jungle. Backing away, Odysseus's men pulled rifles from their bags. As the monster grabbed for them, Odysseus shouted "Fire!". The monkey fell back, swatting around his face like a person would when flies would hover around them. He roared a loud, angry cry. Odysseus turned to Beowulf and Rabk, and with a sense of urgency in his voice, said, "Go." Rabk tried to question the orders, but Beowulf was already pulling towards the jungle entrance. When the two of them got to the boat, the group of men in charge of watching the ship looked up casually. "Get ready to go!" said Beowulf. They started to get up, but when a roar came from the forest, they started moving much faster. Another roar came from the very top of the cliff. "They're going to have to jump!" said one of the crew members. Rabk was confused. "But they'll die," he said. "Not necessarily," replied Beowulf. As another roar came, small figures started shooting off the edge of the cliff. As the men watched, small parachutes deployed from the specks. The men hit the ground and started running for the ship. Odysseus and two other men were the last to land, and as they started to run, the Gorilla landed behind them, causing a mini earthquake. When Odysseus was on, he yelled "Go!" , and the rowers started rowing. The gorilla got to the shore just when they were out of reach. In his anger, the beast ripped a palm tree from the ground and threw it at them. The tree missed them by a long shot. As they sailed off, Rabk turned to Odysseus. "Rifles? and parachutes?" "Hey, in this world, even ancient Greeks can have rifles."

Rabk- Part 6

Rabk
Part 6

Revenge


As the ship ventured further into the ocean, a thick mist rolled onto the ship. The whole crew grew quiet. The air had an unpleasant fell to it. Fear was in everyone's eyes. The drama was too much for Rabk. He rolled his eyes. Strange rock formations started to come into sight. After about thirty minutes of this fear, the boat rocked violently from side to side. Several men fell down, and a the men looked around nervously. "What was that?" asked Rabk. "A monster," said Odysseus, pulling out his sword. Rabk looked around to see that everybody had a weapon out. Rabk quickly took drew his own sword, not wanting to be left out. As Rabk did this, the whole crew gasped. Looking to see what they were gasping at, Rabk saw a tentacle slowly crawling over the side of the ship, onto the deck. The tentacle seemed to be sensing, as if it was trying to detect movement. One man tried backing up as the tentacle came towards him, but the man stumbled and fell over a barrel. Immediately, the tentacle shot out towards the man, quickly pulling him over the side of the deck and under the water. The crew all ran to the edge of the ship and looked down. After a few moments, a pool of blood reached the surface of the water. The crew gasped again. As they stared, the tentacle shot out of the water and pulled another man overboard. Yells of terror took the place of gasps, and all the men backed away from the edge, forming a circle in the middle of the ship. "Stand your ground, men," said Odysseus, "If we stay organized, we can defeat this beast." , but of course, when the tentacle came up for another person, there was no organized attacks, just pure chaos. Rabk, not knowing what to do, looked to Beowulf for help, but all he could see in Beowulf's eyes was fear. "It's Her..." whispered Beowulf. Rabk scrunched up his eyes in confusion. "Her?" he asked. "She has no name, Rabk!" yelled Beowulf, "It's Grendel's mother, here to take her revenge on me." Beowulf then ran off, yelling, and joined the chaos. Again, the tentacle rose up out of the water. This time, She sensed Rabk first. As Rabk backed up, the tentacle moved forward at the same speed. Rabk turned and ran to the front of the ship, looking around frantically as the tentacle grew closer. Then Rabk realized that he had a sword in his hand. Rabk closed his eyes, turned his head away, and waved his sword aimlessly in the general direction of the tentacle. Suddenly, he hit something. He looked to see an oozing red cut in the side of the tentacle. The tentacle retracted for a moment, twitching, then reached out for Rabk again. This time, Rabk dodged the tentacle. The tentacle kept going forward and made a hole right through the front of the ship. Rabk stared for a moment, then ran off into the chaos. Soon afterwords, he heard Beowulf yelling. When Rabk found Beowulf, he was scratching at the floor of the deck, the tentacle rapped around his leg. Before Rabk could take any action, Beowulf was already off the side of the ship.Rabk immediately dropped his sword and jumped in the water after Beowulf. As he entered the water, he saw that the tentacle was actually the tail of a giant, hideous she-snake with a wrinkled head. The snake was smiling smugly at him as Beowulf writhed in her grasp. Rabk swam down lower into the water, his ears popping as he descended. Rabk pulled out his knife and stabbed into the back of the snake's head. The snake writhed in pain, letting out an underwater scream. Rabk had no time to cover his ears. He went straight for Beowulf and pulling him to the surface. Odysseus and his men grabbed them out of the water and immediately set sail. As Rabk and Beowulf sat there, gasping and coughing, Odysseus looked down at Rabk. "Your not so bad at this whole monster thing. You could make a decent living here." he said. Rabk smiled. He was safe... ...for now.

The Story of a Sister



When I wrote my older sister's story, I tried to make fun of things that she liked, disliked, and wanted to do later in life. I kknew that this might make her mad, so I added some touches that were both funny and nice comments. I think she liked the story, but would like to revise the story so that I get tied to the cactus forever.


The Story of a Sister

The Story of a Family- Part 3


There was once a girl. This girl had a weird younger brother, a younger sister, a computer programmer as a father, and a mother with a Ph.D. in Horticulture. When this girl was 16, she wanted to learn how to drive, so she took all the tests she needed to take, but always procrastinated in learning how to drive, so throughout her life, she could only use public transportation. When she was 18, she decided to become a cook, so she went to work at a fast food restaurant. After 5 years of working there, she wanted to walk to Nebraska. She did. Unfortunately, her finches started to miss her, so they flew from California to Nebraska. When the girl saw them, she thought that they were trying to attack her, so she started to run away from them. They chased her all the way to Boston. When they got to Boston, the finches caught her and flew her over the Atlantic. When they got to the other side of the Atlantic, they got so tired that they dropped the girl and fell into the ocean themselves. The girl landed on a yacht infested with suicide bombers. The girl then grabbed a sledgehammer and hit all the bombers of the edge of the ship with it. Then a rat in a toy plane landed on the boat. The rat ran below deck and a mm long spider climbed out of it. When the girl saw the spider, she started running in circles and screaming. Then the girl’s younger sister came up from below deck and started laughing at the sister she had. After three hours of laughing, the younger sister jumped overboard. Two hours after the younger sister left, an anvil fell on the spider and the sister stopped screaming and running in circles. The girl drove the boat to Australia, where she crashed on the beach. The girl searched the boat for supplies, but only found 50 sticks of dynamite, so she blew a hole through the Earth and came out in Greenland. She then found the remains of a blown-up plane and put it back together with 3 bottles of super glue. She hopped into it and tried to fly back to her home in California, but crashed in the middle of the Mojave Desert. She found her weird brother there next to a cactus and a jeep. The girl quickly tied him to the cactus and drove off in the car (This was her first time driving.). When she got to her home, she found her mother with two potatoes and a microscope. Apparently, her mother had discovered a way to keep potatoes from going bad. They decided to have a party, so the girl went down to the store, where she found her dad, but he no idea who she was, so when she got close, he ran off. She didn’t try to follow him. Instead, she just walked off and met one of her high school friends. He had become the leadership teacher at their old high school. He proposed to her, but when he did, she slapped him and walked off. She then found a playground with a swing set and swung on the swing for the rest of her life, and she was content.
