Chapter 4

“Captain the skygoblins are here; there’s thousands of them!” Harper shouted in fear. The crew ran around in terror trying to find a place to hide. They were trying to find weapons to protect themselves. The captain was quickly letting down the sails, getting ready to take off. Harper’s crew found out how to blow up the balloons so they grabbed hold of the lever then pulled it back sending the balloons flying up into the sky. Harper found a bunch of spears to throw at them; Tom found a sharp knife to sharpen the sea tiger’s claws so she could scratch their skin sending them to fly away; and Veronica found a few crossbows for them to shoot down the skin-biters.

Sapphine ran over to the wheel and turned it into the direction they needed to go. The wings on the side flapped up and down like a dolphin going in and out of the water. The captain, who was terrified for her life, span the wheel desperate to leave the island. Suddenly, they felt a sharp vibration on the ship. Veronica and Tom ran over to the side of the ship and saw huge slimy flexible octopus tentacles wrapped around the ship dragging it down back onto the water. Sapphine shouted at the top of her lungs, “Guys prepare for battle they are here!”

Before the skygoblins made it onto the ship Tom ran and hid behind a load of boxes. There was a thud then a loud bang, the skygoblins had made it onto the ship. Tom could hear the crew screaming and shouting as the goblins attacked them. “Tom stay where you are and dont move!” Harper shouted. “ I wonder who this Tom boy is but I’m going to find him.” One of the goblins were running towards where Harper was facing and searched around for him. Tom heard something that made him not daring to breathe. One of the goblins was scratching the side of the boat hissing Tom’s name and suddenly he heard loads of splats and saw guts and blood and skin shoot from the sky. They ran out and cleaned the decks and they thought of what adventures they were going on next.
