BACK TO THE DAYS<br />

Once upon a time, there was a very strong man and a girl. The girl<br />

wanted to marry the strong man, but they were attacked by big ships.<br />

The girl managed to get away, but the strong man destroyed all the<br />

ships. He went the way the girl went.<br />

The man lost her two days later. In the morning he went south into a<br />

place called the Golden Ways. The man had heard of that place - it was<br />

a really bad place, so he went north to a place called the Chain Plane.<br />

He had never heard of it, so he went that way.<br />

The very strong man met a guy with three eyes. He was kind of<br />

creepy but he was friendly. He joined the strong man and they went<br />

on and on. Then they got out of the Chain Plane into a place called the<br />

Diamond Paths.<br />

They had to go into battle. The strong man punched the bad guy.<br />

Then they went onto the Emerald Passages, where they saw smoke.<br />

They ran over. It was the girl, but then huge spiders attacked them. They<br />

got away and the strong man and the girl got married.<br />

There was a huge baddie trying to kill them. The baddie was an<br />

Alien Wizard baddie. He lived in a weird looking lighthouse that could<br />

fly. The baddie wanted to kill them because the strong man had killed<br />

one of his watch-out guards. Years ago, the strong man killed one of<br />

the baddie’s watch-out guards, saving one of his friends. That’s how he<br />

knew it was one of the baddie’s men.<br />

The baddie’s lighthouse moved place at midnight and was going<br />

back to the Chain Plane. Luckily the goodies were near the Chain Plane,<br />

so they went that way.<br />

The baddie’s weird-looking lighthouse had a beam of light for two<br />

reasons. There was a red and blue beam. The red beam was for when<br />

he needed help and the blue beam was for when the baddie was dying.<br />

The beams got sent into space and stayed up in space for fifty seconds<br />

then they came back down.<br />

The baddie’s lighthouse travelled ten miles a day. The goodies<br />

arrived at the baddie’s lighthouse. The goodies tried everything they<br />

could to get in. Only one way worked, the strong man opened a secret<br />

door, but they were kicked randomly back out.<br />

The baddie was bigger than huge and then came the fight. These<br />

trees came to help them fight the baddie. The trees had flames under<br />

their leaves. The battle began. The big baddie sent his baddest men to<br />

fight them. The trees killed them all.<br />

The big baddie went out with his best men. The strong man went<br />

straight to the big baddie. The girl and the guy with three eyes killed the<br />

baddie’s men. The strong man had a blade and that blade was the only<br />

sword that could kill the baddie. The strong man threw his blade into the<br />

baddie’s eye and up went the blue beam. The baddie died.<br />

THE CROCODILE BEACH<br />

Once upon a time, James and his family were on holidays. They were on<br />

the beach, getting ready to go to the lighthouse. They were so excited.<br />

James and his sister were playing in the sand. His sister buried him<br />

in the sand using her spade. James tried to get out, but he was stuck.<br />

He told his sister to get help.<br />

When his sister was gone, an enormous crocodile started coming<br />

out of the water! James called for help, but everybody was too far away.<br />

The crocodile suddenly ran at him!<br />

James started to panic. He quickly threw sand at the crocodile. The<br />

crocodile ran back into the sea. When James’ family got there, they dug<br />

him out. They decided they weren’t going to the lighthouse. Instead they<br />

were getting ice cream.<br />
