Chapter XIX: A Small Battle

"Just us two? We don’t stand a chance," I said.

"Maybe if I tell you something, you’ll do your best against the dark side," Ken said. "Now listen."

"About a year after you were born, you were sent to Earth by a man in black. The reason he sent you to Earth was because the Holy Bird, the spirit of life, chose you. He told the man in black that he would destroy the dark side. The man in black sent you to Earth and you grew up with your foster mother, Ellie Sattler."

"That was all I needed to know, Ken. After this mission I‘ll return to Ellie."

Ken and I started to climb a tall and very steep mountain. We prayed to the Holy Bird that we would not die or get injured. We finally arrived at the town of the mountain.

"Let’s get something to eat at the Dance N’ Eat place," Ken suggested.

We went in the Dance N’ Eat place. Inside I saw Tanyia. I walked over to Tanyia.

"What are you doing here?" Tanyia asked.

"I’ll tell you later. Will you come with us?" I said.

"Yeah," Tanyia said.

Ken got some food and we sat down and ate.

Ken glanced over my shoulder and saw a yellow hedgehog <author’s note: Dammit! I wish I could make up my mind weather Amy was a human or a hedgehog.> dancing with a bleu hedgehog. Ken soon found out that the two hedgehogs were Amy and Sonic.

Tanyia, who was sitting next to me said, "Who are you staring at, Ken?"

"Amy! And I want to kill her!" Ken yelled.

Ken grabbed his gun and shot it at Sonic, but missed him. Sonic rolled up in a ball, thinking it was me who tried to shoot him, shot himself at me and scraped my arm all up. Blood was all over my arm, but I didn’t care.

Tanyia came over to me. "I still think you’re cute," she said. <author’s note: First of all, originally she thought I wasn’t cute. Second, why would you say that in this situation?>

We all ran out of the Dance N’ Eat place. There were two jets parked outside of the place. Tanyia and I got in one jet and Ken got in the other one. <author’s note: Oh, so the good guys are high jackers now?>

We took off into the sky. Both jets were side-by-side as we flew through black space. A triangle ship was chasing us. The triangle ship was called a Star Destroyer. We dodged all of the Star Destroyers. Then the second biggest Star Destroyer, called the Avenger, started chasing us. The Avenger shot a laser and took a direct hit on the back of Ken’s ships.

"Ken," I said, "one more direct hit and you’re gone."

"The Avenger shot another laser and Ken’s jet went down.

"Ken!" Tanyia and I yelled.

My arm was now starting to hurt. It was bubbling with blood from what Sonic did.

"Ken to Andrew," I heard Ken’s voice over my comm.

"You’re not dead," I yelled.

"I took an escape pod," Ken said. "I’m going back to get a Surgeon Droid for your arm and a new jet.

About 10 minutes later, Ken came back and his ship docked with mine. The Surgeon Droid came on my ship and fixed my arm, then left.

Ken and I went back to Kain’s base. Now the base was deserted. We ran inside Kain’s based. We ran over to some computers. Tanyia looked on the radar.

"A horseshoe crab in Sector 6," Tanyia said.

We sent a tank to Sector 6. Our fire blaster had no effect on the horseshoe crab.

Tanyia and Ken went into another room. Then Amy ran into the room. "Help!" Amy yelled.

"Why should I," I said. "You..."

I grabbed my laser gun and shot Amy in the head and she fell to the ground. She was dead.

Ken came back into the room. <author’s note: And didn’t see Amy’s bloody body on the ground.>
"Go to your house, Ken," I commanded.

Ken left Kain’s base.

Aboard the Avenger was a man named Commander Jariade. "He was unloaded dinosaurs. The dinosaurs entered Kain’s base.

I escaped Kain’s base safely.

The dinosaurs went into the room that Tanyia was in. A dinosaur gobbled up Tanyia and swallowed her whole.

 

Chapter XX: Ken’s House

A starship was about to land at Kain’s base. The man looked behind him and saw the Avenger chasing him.

"R2, come with me," the man said.

"Beep Zeepp eee," A Droid in the shape of a barrel beeped.

"Yes, R2," the man said.

R2 and the man got into an escape pod and took off.

On the Avenger, Vader was ready to destroy the starship.

"Starship in range," Jariade said.

"Fire!" Vader yelled.

The Avenger shot lasers and hit the starship and destroyed it.

I ran to Ken’s house and went inside and locked the door. I was night. I went into one of the bedrooms and went to sleep.

In the morning, Ken was sound asleep and Zeebo licked his face. When would his mooka learn that he didn’t like to get up in the morning. He always went to bed late.

"Kshhhhhhhh," Zeebo cried. "Kshhhhhhhh."

"Down Zeebo," Ken said pushing his mooka away. "Do you think I like your feathers all over my pillows?"

Zeebo in kind of like a dog, but is not because he has both fur and feathers.

"Kshhhhhhhh!" Zeebo cried.

"And stop doing that in my ear," Ken added.

Zeebo made a whining sound.

Ken pet his mooka behind one of his ears. Ken got off the bed.

"Kshhhhhhhh!" Zeebo whined, jumping into Ken’s arms licking his face. Then a droid walked in, named Dee-Jay.

"I told you not to leave the house, and stop dating that hedgehog," Dee-Jay said.

Ken ran out of the house followed by me.

"Get back here," Dee-Jay yelled.

The starship landed in a field near Ken’s house. Ken and I ran over to the starship. Out of the starship came Luke.

"Luke," I yelled.

Luke was silent.

"What happened to you?" I asked.

"To tell you the truth, after the battle with the ATs, I crashed and hurt my nose very bad," Luke said.

"Okay," I said.

Ken and I were going back to Ken’s house to get Zeebo and Chip, Ken’s droid.

Inside Ken’s house, Chip was eating nuts and bolts and drinking oil.

Then Zeebo started jumping all around. Dee-Jay and Chip didn’t know what to do until Chip looked out the window. Outside there were three AT-AT walkers.

Two men in Ken’s house got in jets and they attacked the AT-ATs. The lasers did not effect the walkers. When a fleet of tie fighters approached, the men’s jets got blown to bits.

Ken, Luke and I went in Ken’s house.

Outside, one of the ATs shot fireballs at Ken’s house and it started aflame. Luke and I ran quickly outside.

"Where’s Ken?" I yelled.

"He was right behind me and we ran out and I lost him," Luke said.

In a few minutes, Ken ran out of his house covered with smoke. He was coughing. Chip, Dee-Jay and Zeebo ran out of the house after Ken. AT AT-AT shot a laser at Dee-Jay and pieces of him flew everywhere.

"Dee-Jay!" Ken yelled.

Luke, Chip, Zeebo, Ken and I ran into Luke’s new starship. Luke and I went to the controls and we took off. Three of the tie fighters (the enemy’s jets) followed us.

Luke’s droid, R2-D2, picked up a signal that seven Star Destroyers were in front of us.

On the main Star Destroyer, called the Avenger, a commander named, Jariade was talking with Darth Vader.

"Vader, I’m spotted them," Jariade said.

"Good, prepare out men. We’re going to suck them into this ship with a tractor beam," Vader commanded.

"Kshhhhhhhh!" Zeebo whined as he jumped onto Ken’s knee.

"It’s okay," Ken said. "We’re going to go into light speed."

Luke and I were sitting in the front of the starship. Luke pulled a lever and I pushed a red button and we were off. On our radar, we saw a fleet of ships. Luke turned off the light speed.

Ken, Chip and Zeebo went to hide. Luke put up the deflector shields.

Three orange ships came out of a weird shaped larger one.

One of the guard ships contacted us, "We need to know why you’re hear and who’s on the jet? One more thing, what side are you from?"

What was I supposed to say? Maybe they’re our enemies. Well, I’d better tell the truth.

 

Chapter XXI: Jared

"I’m Andrew Harrington, leader of an attack team to destroy Darth Vader," I finally said.

"You’re every welcome here," a man said. "Land at dock 167."

Dock 167 was on the biggest ship in the fleet. Luke landed the ship at dock 167. We all came out of the jet; Chip last. A young man, about at the age of 17, one year older than me, walked over to us with a big green bird.

"Hi, my name is Jared," the man said. "I heard you destroyed the Death Star. Come, have a seat."

Luke, Chip, Ken and I sat down. Zeebo say on Ken’s lap and R2-D2 stood up in one place.

Outside, a pod landed. It crashed into an empty ship. A probe came out.

Jared took Ken and me to our room on the empty ship. As we went in, the probe spotted us and self-destructed its self.

All of us got into Jared’s jet, a Double Wing, and flew to his control room.

Jared sent some of his droids to take a look at the probe. The droids found a tracking device. I looked out the window and saw tons of Star Destroyers.

"Jared, do something," I yelled.

"Okay, retreat," Jared said.

Luke got in our ship, but it wouldn’t start. We all went in Jared’s Double Wing and flew off.

"My name is Sauron," the bird said.

Sauron took back gun because five tie fighters were following us.

Jared turned on the deflector shields.

A tie fighter shot at us, but missed.

Luke took top gun.

"I got one," Sauron yelled. Jared got two more and Luke got the last one.

"Yes," I yelled.

All of us went to the front of the ship except Sauron. He stayed in the back incase more tie fighters came.

Luke told us about Xavin, and we all agreed to go.

"Kshhhhhhhh," Zeebo said.

"I’m sure it will okay," Ken said.

The ship landed at the main dock and Sauron opened the hatch. Luke walked out and a droid met him.

"Good, you’re not hurt," the droid said.

"Who said I was hurt?" Luke said.

"No one," the droid replied as he left the landing area.

Luke invited us to his room in the place we were in. R2-D2 went into the storage room along with Chip. The rest of us went into Luke’s room.

"So, Luke, we’re going to live here, right?" I asked.

"I guess so," Luke replied.

Jared looked at Luke. "I will to," Jared said.

Sauron flapped his wings with happiness.

 

Chapter XXII: Escape

"Kshhhhhhhh," Zeebo cried. "Kshhhhhhhh."

"Okay, Zeebo," Ken said.

Ken, Zeebo and I left the room. We walked down hallways and soon became lost. Luke came behind us.

"I’ll take you both to your room," Luke said.

Ken, Zeebo and I followed Luke to our room. Ken and I each went in a separate bed and went to sleep.

Early in the morning, Ken, Zeebo and I snuck out of our room and went into Jared’s jet for a test flight. We flew the jet around Xavin.

"This is awesome," Ken said.

"Kshhhhhhhh," Zeebo cried.

"Shut up, Zeebo," I said covering his mouth.

We now could almost see the entire scenery on planet Xavin.

I piloted the ship down. The ship went down where the trees were very thick and high. As we went down, the ship’s wings got caught in the trees 100 feet above the land.

Ken and I rolled forward near the door. The door opened and we fell out. As we fell, I grabbed a tree branch. I looked below me and saw Ken land. I waited for a few minutes, but Ken did not move. I climbed down the tree and ran off in a direction.

As I ran, I saw a tie fighter above me. It shot a white beam and I passed out.

I opened my eyes and everything was blurry. Above me I saw a girl and a boy.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Remember us? I’m Tim, remember?" the boy said. Nothing was blurry anymore. The girl was Lex.

"I thought I would never see you two again," I said. "Tim, did you find your mom?"

"No, but Lex and I know where they are!" Tim said.

I got up and stood in front of Lex. We talked with Tim for 5 minutes about what had happened to us.

"Come on," Tim called.

Lex and I stayed behind Tim as we caught up with him.

I saw a bright light. It green bigger, then I saw it was a giant candle. That’s what Tim and Lex had been fighting. I went out in front of the candle and struck a hit on him.

"Don’t hurt me," he said. "I’ll help you. I’m Candler."

We followed him left to a dead end.

"Walls aren’t always solid," Candler said.

We walked a little bit and saw three paths. On the wall of one path it said: "Candler’s House." We decided to split up. Tim and Candler went left, and Lex and I went straight.

"Now we can spend time together," Lex said.

Lex and I started walking.

 

Chapter XXIII: Death at our Hands

As we stopped, a giant monster came before us. It was called a Red Giant. It was red and gigantic. <author’s note: The name pretty much says it all.> It also had two yellow horns on its head. It was robot, had an arm cannon on it right arm and a claw on its left.

The red giant grabbed me and slammed me against the wall. It felt like my back was broken and I fell down.

"Andrew!" Lex yelled.

Lex was a master of bows and arrows. She grabbed her bow and arrows and shot it at the giant’s main reactor. The giant exploded.

Lex ran over to me. She thought I was dead. "I’ll be back later," Lex said to herself.

Hours passed and Lex had not returned.

I finally stood up and picked my sword off the ground. I heard foot steps nearing me. Could it be Lex?

I stayed in one place and six things turned the corner. They were red giants. The red giants surrounded me. A girl walked in front of the red giants.

"Surrender," she yelled.

"Up your butt," I yelled back.

I ran under a red giant’s legs and ran down a path.

"Get him," the young girl yelled.

As I was running, I ran into five skeletons. I chopped off three of the skeletons' heads off. I ran forward. Three red giants where in front of me and two skeletons, three red giants and the girl were behind me. I stopped.

"Surrender," the girl yelled.

I dropped my sword and put my hands in the air. "I surrender," I said.

Tim and Candler were running down a dark narrow path. A red giant, a kary and a Warlock were in front of them. A warlock is a wizard and a kary is a girl barbarian.

The red giant used his arm cannon and hit Candler.

"Candler!" Tim yelled. He used his dragon spear and killed the three enemies. Tim found a Rune Axe and equipped it. He ran down a very hot path thinking about Candler.

<author’s note: That’s the last time you ever hear about Tim.>

I was lead into a cellar. One of the red giants locked the cellar door. I looked behind me and saw a girl from my real world. She had blonde hair. It was not short nor long. She wore glasses and was about one to two inches shorter than me. I liked her while I was back home.

"How did you get here?" I yelled.

"It’s a long story," she said. "After about a week after you left, Jamie went to your house to see where you were. He never came back."

"He died here," I interrupted her.

"Well," the girl continued, "I was worried where you were so I came over to your house. I was scared to tell you before, but I love you. Let me continue. A giant monster came before me and threw me in this cellar. Here, I met you. I fear that they have killed everyone back home."

I looked at her eye to eye. "School sucks," I yelled.

She looked at me like: What?
"You’re Audrey Maness, right?" I asked.

"Yes, I am," she said.

Audrey and I looked eye to eye to each other. We walked closer to each other. I wrapped my arms around her back and she did the same to me. we brought our mouths together.

Some of Audrey’s hair was in a pony tail. She had on jeans and a blue shirt that went over her butt.

<author’s note: If I could go back in time, I’d kill myself for writing this, me cheating on Lex? I would never do that!>

We heard footsteps. Audrey and I separated quickly.

A red giant walked by. After he left, Audrey stood up. I went over to her. Audrey used her hand and brushed some dust and dirt off from her pants. She just remembered that I yelled, "School sucks!"

"Hey, Andrew," Audrey said, "school doesn’t suck. If it wasn’t for school I would have never met you."

I was silent.

I placed my hand on her shoulder and said, "I’m getting you and anybody else out of here. Okay, Audrey?"

"How?" Audrey blurted out.

"Leave that to me," I said.

Audrey sighed and relaxed saying to herself, "like how?"

"Got a hair pin?" I said joking around.

 

Chapter XXIV: Audrey

"No, "Audrey answered in a mad voice.

I took a dagger out of a hidden pocket in my sweat pants. I went to the door and used my dagger to open the lock on it. Once opened, I went to the back of the cellar and sat right next to Audrey.

"Audrey, I..." I said as the red giant walked by.

I took my dagger and threw it at the red giant in the back. It exploded.

"Come on!" I yelled.

Audrey was running as fast as she could go.

"Wait up," Audrey yelled.

I knew I had to save my life, but I loved her more than life itself. I slowed down for her to catch up. I grabbed Audrey’s hand and we started to run into a warp. I let go of her hand a hugged her.

"It would take a year for those damn bitches too..." Audrey yelled.

I kissed her, trying to make her calm down.

Audrey hugged me as well. She loved me more than life itself. Things flashed and I thought about Lex. Had she died? Who really cares? Now I have Audrey.

The background changed. We were in Luke’s base.

"Andrew!" Luke yelled.

Audrey and I still kissed. We ignored Luke.

"Andrew, stop!" Luke yelled.

We stopped and looked at Luke.

"What? Luke, what do you want?" I asked.

Luke looked at me.

"You’ve got a lot of explaining to do," Luke said.

Audrey and I followed Luke into a very small room with no windows. There, a conversation started.

 

Chapter XXV: Explaining

Luke looked at me, then at Audrey.

"The first thing is, who is she?" Luke asked me.

"Just some girl," I said.

"Thanks a lot," Audrey said.

I thought about things. Should I tell Luke? What else did Luke mean by "you have a lot of explaining to do?" I felt weird.

"Who?" Luke said again.

Someone I picked up," I replied.

Luke looked at me.

"Tell him," Audrey said.

"Fine then," I said, "I’ll tell you."

"Who is it?" Luke said in a calmer voice.

"It’s Audrey Maness from back home. I found her in the red giant’s lair. They have taken over my world," I said.

"Now where is Ken?" Luke asked.

"He died in the forest about 500 miles away from your base," I answered.

"Jared has been in his room balling, because YOU took his Double Wing. Where’s that?" Luke said.

"I don’t know. The last time I saw it, it was in the trees in that forest. The tie fighters have probably taken it already," I said.

"Where have you been?" Luke asked.

"I was in a cave and a jail in the red giant’s lair. Then I escaped with this girl," I said.

"Okay, you two may go."

Audrey and I left the room.

Luke took his walky talky out of his dusty pocket and pressed a button.

"Luke, is that you?" Jared’s voice said over a comm.

"Yes, it is," Luke replied. "Boy is Lex going to be mad."

"Why?"

"Andrew has a new girl named Audrey."

"Lex will kill him," Jared said.

<author’s note: Wow, that’s the big news? That seems to be even more important than the fact that Ken died and that I took Jared’s Double Wing.>

 

Chapter XXVI: Red Giant’s Lair

Audrey and I were talking down the long, green and red halls. The halls had been cleaned very well. Audrey had been told to sleep in the room next to mine. She went into her room and shut the room.

I lay in my bed for about ten minutes before I heard a knocking on my door.

"Audrey, come in," I said in a nice sweet voice.

"Who’s Audrey?" a voice said. I soon figured out that I was Lex!

"What should I say? Audrey and Lex would kill me if they found out I liked two girls. (I prefer Audrey.)

I went to a speaker and turned it on. I said, "This is Andrew. May I talk to Audrey?"

"You will be able to talk to Audrey in about 20 seconds," a voice said.

I waited (which seemed like 10 years to me). Then the voice said, "Ready!"

I heard a tremendous amount of coughing.

"Audrey, what’s wrong?" I asked.

She coughed again.

"I’m catching a cold from the...coldness of the room," Audrey said.

"I sense something is wrong," I said. "Come into my room so I can give you some medicine."

"Uuh...I donn...n...really want to," Audrey replied.

"Come on," I said forcing her.

"Well...Fine," she sighed.

I went to one of my file cabinets and opened it. I grabbed some medicine. I was disturbed by loud knocking.

"Is that you, Audrey?" I asked.

"Yes," I head.

"Come in," I said.

Audrey opened the door.

"Some girl was looking at me very strangely as I walked in your room," Audrey said.

I looked at her face. It was partly green.

"Audrey!!!" I yelled with fear. I dropped the medicine on the floor. The medicine leaked all over, staining the carpet.

"What?" Audrey asked as though nothing was wrong.

I looked at her. "You have Dandinaveaaudandre Disease," I said.

"I feel dizzy."

"Lay in my bed. I’ll have to go to the Red Giant’s Lair to get some medicine. You caught the disease from the Red Giants. It’s deadly," I told Audrey.

"Andrew, please save my life," Audrey called as I left the room.

I ran into a warp that was in my room and I appeared in the Red Giant’s Lair.

All I could think about was Audrey dying and me getting blamed for it. I felt nervous and scared. I ran down the first path I saw. It led to a door. I heard a voice call, "What’s the password?" I ran back and took the other path. I saw in the cellars again.

Above the door of the first cellar read: "The password is in the cages."

I needed Audrey’s brain to figure this out.

I went back to the warp and arrived at the place Audrey was in. I went in my room and shut the room. I went over to my bed. I looked at Audrey’s face and saw that her whole face was green.

"Audrey, do you know what this means? You’re smart. The password is in the cages," I said.

"It means," Audrey said and coughed very badly, "that who was in the cage is the password," Audrey coughed. "So the first cage was empty, so the first letter of the password is E. I was in the second, so the second letter is A. The fifth cage was empty, so the fifth letter is E. So far we know three letters of the password. Go and find the other," Audrey coughed again, "two and you will..." Audrey went silent. That meant she would almost die.

<author’s note: So, if there are different people in the cages then that password changes?>

I wrote on paper the things that Audrey told me:

E A _ _ E

I put the paper in my pocket and left the room. I went back into the warp. I was in the Red Giant’s Lair again. I went to the third cage. A boy was in the cage.

"What’s your name," I asked the boy.

<author’s note: Later it turns out that I already knew these people, why the hell did I ask for their names?>

"Raghu," the boy answered.

That meant that R was the third letter to the code. I wrote it down on the piece of paper that I had.

"You go in that warp and wait for me there," I commanded.

Raghu had black hair. His face was a brownish, tan color. Raghu’s hair was all messed up. He was even shorter than Audrey!

Raghu ran towards the warp.

I went to the next cage and opened it. A boy ran out.

"Thank you for saving me," he said. "I saw you here before."

"What’s your name?" I asked.

"Brain," the boy replied.

I jotted down the letter B in the fourth box.

E A R B E

I knew the password: Ear Be.

I looked at Brian. He was about a tall as me. His hair was short and he had white skin. His glasses were a golden color.

"Come with me," I said.

Brain followed me to the warp where I met Raghu.

"Brain, go into the warp. There ask a man named Luke for a room," I said.

Brain went into the warp. Raghu came with me. We went down a path and heard a voice say, "What’s the password?"

"Ear Be," I said.

"You may pass. Take only one thing," the voice said.

I went into the room.

"Do you have a cure for the disease caused by red giants?" I asked.

A lone hand gave me a medicine.

I rejoined with Raghu and went into the warp. Raghu went to ask Luke for a room for the night.

I hurried back into my room with fear that Audrey might have died. I walked over to the bed and looked at Audrey. She could hardly breath. I took the medicine out and poured it into Audrey’s mouth. The green stuff just disappeared.

"Andrew," Audrey whispered.

Audrey got out of bed. We held each other’s hands. I pulled Audrey closer to me. Our mouths came together. I felt joy fill my body.

The door cracked open without Audrey or me noticing it.

"Andrew!" someone yelled. It was Lex.

Audrey and I were embarrassed.

"No me?" Lex yelled. Lex ran out of the room.

Audrey left my room and went back to hers.

 

Chapter XXVII: Raghu

I was awakened by a loud knocking.

"Who is it?" I said yawning.

"Raghu."

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I need to tell you something."

"I’ll be there in a moment," I said.

I pulled the covers back over my head and tried to get to sleep. I finally got up. I got dressed and hurried to Raghu’s room.

I knocked on the door.

Raghu came to the door and showed me in.

"Sit down," he said. I saw Audrey.

Audrey sat down in a chair and I sat down in a chair next to her.

"I want to tell you two why I’m here and how I got here," Raghu said. "It all started in 6th grade when you called Audrey on the phone <author’s note: See? Why did I asked what his name was when I first met him?> and asked her out. As that year went on, Andrew and Audrey only liked Andrew as a friend. Well in 7th grade, <author’s note: I left school in 6th grade the beginning of the story, so I have no idea how I got to be in 7th grade now.> Andrew still loved Audrey more than life itself. He asked Audrey out just about every night. Audrey’s answer was simply, "No!" Later, the second month of 7th grade, Andrew disappeared with Ken. Two weeks later, Jamie came looking for you and never returned. Audrey was getting worried. She went to your house and never came back. Jared was the last one to volunteer to go. <author’s note: In the story, Jared is 17...a 17 year old in 7th grade? And Jared had an entire base too.> He never returned. Brain and I thought we could do something," Raghu continued. "We came here and fell into a flashing thing. Brian and I landed in a dark place. We were taken and thrown into a cellar. I saw Andrew come in and kiss Audrey for a long time. I guess Audrey really did like Andrew. Later, Andrew came back and saved us."

I was startled that many people came for me, or the lovely, nice Audrey, my girlfriend.

"Raghu!" I yelled tying to get his attention. "Audrey and I want to go out tonight."
