Rabk- Part 9



Rabk Part 9

Into the Deep


After a couple of days of sailing, Rabk and Beowulf had run out of food. Rabk was curled up on one side of the boat. Rabk stirred a little, as though he was just waking up. "Is land in sight?" he asked Beowulf. Beowulf raised his head for a couple seconds and then dropped it again. "Nothing whatsoever," he replied. Rabk groaned. "I'm so hungry," Beowulf chuckled/groaned a little laugh. "I bet I am hungry than you," he said. Rabk lifted his head a little. "Oh, yeah?" he smiled. "I'm so hungry, I could eat a a turtle." Beowulf retorted, "I'm so hungry, I could eat a genetically-modified turtle!" They laughed a weak laugh before realizing that the boat was tipping forward. Immediately, both of them were on their feet, vainly trying to climb to the rising end of the boat. Soon, the boat was completely vertical, and it paused in that strange position for a moment. Beowulf and Rabk looked down at the water as they clung to the top of the boat. Then, the boat started descending into the water. The two of them tried crying out for help, but they both knew that nobody would hear. As the boat entered the water, a large bubble enclosed it, which kept Rabk and Beowulf from escaping or drowning. When the two of them saw this bubble, they let go and sat at the bottom of the bubble, looking downward. They descended for quite a while, and as they went down, they couldn't see anything, not even themselves. After not seeing each other for a long time, a glow grew larger from the bottom of the ocean. As the boat moved closer, the two passengers could see many large buildings and streets coming from withing a glowing, large bubble framed with stone. Their boat docked just outside the giant bubble. A man in blue camouflage, holding a machine gun, motioned for them to come towards him. As Rabk and Beowulf moved, they found that their bubble moved with them. The camouflage man moved towards them and their bubbles merged. The man had a large beard and green eyes. He looked at them, worriedly. "How did you guys get here? You're not from down here." Beowulf chuckled. "No, we're definitely not from down here. Where are we and who are you?" "I'm Burt, but I can't tell you where we are. Follow me." The group's bubble merged with the űber bubble, revealing a thriving city concealed into the bubble. The two travelers, in their ragged over-use clothes, were noticeable different looking from the rest of the people in this mossy, stone city. After passing several men in uniforms, and a whole bunch of suspicious stares, Burt brought them into a huge room with men on thrones. Burt nervously ran up to the man in the largest chair and whispered something in his ear. The man looked down at the two men angrily, then he roared. "How on earth did you two find the city of Atlantis?"

Poem, B Momentous



How to Write the Right Book

Boo.

I have tried and have tried
To write the right book
I have finally wrote it
You should really take a look

First write a word
The word you know best
Then write the next
This isn’t a test

I wrote the best word
The word, it was boo
It knew it, I knew it
I knew it right through

Word after word I wrote it all down
And after I finished I fell to the ground

I set of to publish it then and there
But when I thought about it
I asked myself “Where?”
“Where was this place to get a book published?”

“To the bookstore!” I thought as I went on my way
“To the bookstore I’ll go and there I will stay”

I asked if they’d publish my book for me
They looked through the book and the said “No!”
“This book is worth nothing! It’s a practical joke! Go climb up a tree!”
“If this is a poem, it has no good beat! If this is a book it’s as confusing as a flea!”

I sat down and thought, “How is being confusing like being a flea?”
“And why would they make me climb up a tree?”

I finally forgot about climbing up fleas and being like a tree
That old book that I made was really a poem
It is this one right here and it was made by me!

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."
