part 4- onward

Many minutes later, the crew returned. The skyship was fixed, the balloon was patched, and they were drifting through the mist, only a map to guide them. The eagle had eaten and drank and was now fast asleep on John’s arm. Its wing was bandaged, but it would heal.

Max was alone on the helm, crouching on a barrel and gazing into the stars. John wandered over and joined him. ”Thinking of home?” John asked. ”Yup,” Max replied. They chatted away, pointing out the odd shooting star, or view of a planet.

Suddenly, They heard something. A loud scrape rung in Max’s ears. John pulled him down and ducked. The eagle woke with a start, and flew to the mast. Alone, it stared into the gloom and shrieked. It zoomed back to the 2 children and hid under Max’s arm. What could be so scary?

Suddenly, someone chuckled. John whipped round and stared blankly at Ava, a crewmate in her 20’s. ”You silly old chumps!” She said, ”that’s just C2EB, the survey drone. It must have scraped against the hull accidentally.‘’

Ava beckoned. ”You better get to bed before you think anything else is an evil demon.” ”Really?” They both moaned. ”Yes” Ava said sternly.
In ten minutes, Max was snoring like a pig. John, however, was wide awake. he couldn’t help thinking something would go wrong.

part 3 of my skyship adventure- a new passenger

Max, who’s lip trembled, whimpered and ran to the ship. A scratching noise echoed through the castle and John went to its source. Around the corner, a small bird-like creature was crying out, as a large boulder had fallen on its wing. John rushed to help it, and after closer inspection, he knew it had to be a baby eagle. It had a tiny dagger like beak that gleamed in the moon, and 2 beady eyes that bored into his mind. John stepped one small step closer, and crouched down next to it. Suddenly, he heard a rock tumbling, and he whipped around. Max’s small, pale face poked out of a doorframe.

 

John scowled and turned around again. He broke into a sweat, trying to remove the boulder without harming the poor bird. Once the rock was gone, John picked up the bird gently and it leapt onto his arm, gripping firmly. ”It’s fine,” said John, ”It’s a baby eagle, but it’s hurt. Go get the medical supplies!” Max ran of into the gloom…

 

 

 

opening story

 “Arrr!” screamed Devon. Devon  stared in horror as the ground rushed up to meet

them. They were swooping ever downwards to what

looked like an extremely ancient, triangle  ruined city. Commander  Ravi shaw 

wrestled with the tiller, trying his best to steer the

Starhazer  towards an open triangle in the city center.

By Devon’s side, Zoey stood holding a silver  saber made of metal,

fending off a strange, flying goblin  from the skin of

the jets. Its huge claws tore into the covering and

sliced an irreparable tear, like a gaping wound out of

which poured the fuel that was keeping them in the air.

With a cloud of morph x (the fuel)came leaking out of the jets , the airship smashed  down, landing in the triangle. Zoey  had lost the battle with the sky goblin and she  had already fallen to the floor of the sky ship . Devon peered over the banister  at the city triangle that surrounded the wounded StarHazer.  The villagers were furious and they started to run at them with pitchforks that were on fire.  

Airship – part 3 and 4

Part Three

 

Barry looked out of the circular glass window, all he could see was rippling water of blue and turquoise topped with white foam, they must have left England now – the green, gold and brown tapestry of fields had disappeared completely. 

 

A bright gold flash pierced through the heavens vanishing into the ocean.  Barry felt a crumbling sound getting louder and louder until “BOOM!” – the sound almost burst his eardrums.

 

Just as he turned his head back to the tv, out of the corner of his eye there was a small line of green through the window that got bigger and bigger.  Suddenly he felt his stomach somersaulting –  the airship started to lurch down to greet the ground below.

 

Phoebe panicked and screamed “ THE ENGINE HAS FAILED!” but the crew softly reassured them that they were only landing.  The green patch was actually the island of Waterville.

 

Part Four

 

Barry recognised the name “Waterville”, where had he heard it before?  He put it to the back of his mind and gathered together his rucksack and water bottle.  The grass crunched when they landed.  “That’s strange” thought Barry, “it’s raining – how can the grass be so dry?”

 

Barry and Phoebe followed the crew to the exit and stepped out onto the dry, golden grass.  The grass was short and stubby and hurt their feet.  It even started to burn through the Captain’s old leather shoes.  It was as if the ground had been burnt.  The smell of bonfires dried their throats and stung their eyes.  The rain had suddenly stopped and everything was completely dry.

 

They walked across the fields until they reached a village.  Out of nowhere, the silence of the breeze changed to roaring and screaming.

 

Suddenly a scorching fire went over his head and he remembered where he had heard of Waterville before.  Barry started to hyperventilate.  Of course.  Waterville was the home to the Norse Dragons…

 

StarBlazer

                                      Stargazer 

 

Nigel pulled on the sail, his face getting redder and redder. They were meant to be passing the Plain Lands but the storm had thrown them off track. Kyle, who looked to have been hating it; screamed “SKY DRAGONS EVERYWHERE. WE’RE IN TROUBLE!!!!”. The sky dragons were cyan dragons with machete sharp teeth that could slice through any material with one touch. Before Nigel could say anything, Captain Pablo had yelled “Brace! Brace! Get your heads down”  as they dived towards the rocky ground.

 

Suddenly one of the cyan sky dragons jumped onto the ship and had thrown a lump of fire onto the tea stained map .They were getting faster and faster as they dived to the ground “have we lost anything?” said Captain Pablo, the best captain in the 2nd continent. “Not really. They burnt the tea stained map” . Had they lost them in the mist?.    

 

Suddenly a huge rock emerged from nowhere and the dragon caught it on its back and threw it at them. “The balloon popped!” shouted Nigel to the captain . They were swirling down to the ground, faster and faster, desperately Kyle hit a button and the ship stopped dead and slowly lowered itself towards the ground .

 

THUMP! The airship crashed heavily on the ragged floor, the people all around shouting in shock. Kyle who was crying in a corner because his teddy got burnt and Nigel who was cheering because he killed one of the dragons but before they could get away the mayor had come out in his pajamas.

 

The weather was scorching hot like being in an earth-sized oven.

Kyle wandered round and saw ice capped mountains with paint the colour of   snow that covered the whole mountain like glue on paper

Beside a lagoon there were majestic sparks that shone in the sky

A black widow hunting for its prey

The time was night ; beautiful stars lit up the sky 

The airship

BOOM!!

 

The sound of the thunder made their bones shake. Lightning flashed bright like a thousand light bulbs flickering on and off. John tightened his hold on the hand rail as he looked out of the window into a blanket of cloud. At first, he could see nothing but then slowly the landscape below came into view , just like pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle. After what felt like ages, the cloud finally cleared and John could see the island below.

 

He could make out the shoreline with rocky cliff faces, climbing out of the water. Behind a humongous forest with trees reaching up like fingers into the sky, their large leaves are starting to wrinkle and turn brown, making it hard to see the ground below. 

The airship felt like it was falling faster and faster as the winds smashed into its side. John becomes more nervous as he hears strange sounds from inside the airship. Are they sounds of the metal work banging together as they break free from their fixings? The ripping of the airship’s skin sounds as though someone is tearing a piece of paper. John is thinking to himself will the Airship even make it to the ground or will it disintegrate high up in the sky leaving him to plummet to the ground

 

Beyond the forest the captain notices a large field and turns the airship hard towards it in the hope they will make it before the trees reach up and grab them from the sky. The ground is approaching quickly but so are the trees. John is thinking will we make it, will he ever see his family again? Finally they break free of the trees and John hears the captain shout “brace yourself”. The airship hits the ground hard and John is thrown forward, hitting his head on the window. The ground makes a grinding noise under the airship and feels like an earthquake rumbling all around them. After what seems like forever the airship finally stops and comes to rest leaning on one side.

 

Pulling himself up off the floor, peering out of the hole in the side of the airship he noticed the churned up ground caused when the airship ploughed nose first into the field. Helping the Captain to his feet they opened the door and peered out. The cabin was dark with no lights but even in the storm the brightness made them both cover our eyes with their hands. He could see thick large trees with bushes at their base. The strong winds make them all sway in rhythm like soldiers on parade. Above him the storm raged on with flashing of lights and deep rumbling thunder. The wind carries the smell of the sea and reminds him of how lucky he was to find the island.

 

After what seemed to be ages the storm moved on leaving a blue and a scorching sun. They decided to explore the surrounding area because they had little food and water to last for more than a few days. They stepped off the broken airship and headed for the forest. The ground is wet and muddy and soon their shoes are completely brown. As they approached the trees they heard the sound of a twig snapping ahead of them. They freeze, and stare into the trees curious to find out what made the sound. It was hard to see more than a few metres ahead due to the shade from the trees above, thinking they saw a bush move. Scared of what might be in there they turned around and started to walk away, but looked back to see if all was clear. At that moment they saw it…

Sky Ship Adventure

Out of nowhere a black boulder flew into the balloon there were now two holes. Jimmy’s heart was thumping like a bass drum. The ship was going down head first. He managed to get hold of the steering wheel to pull it to one side as soon as he did, the ship started falling sideways. The ship caught on fire Jimmy felt really dizzy from going back and forward. He managed to get into the Metal emergency room, it had chairs with seat belts so that they wouldn’t go flying he pressed the eject button, the pod jumped out of the ship they were heading straight to the grey rough ground.

 

“BANG!” The pod hit the ground like an asteroid he got out and saw people gathered around him, he was scared his heart felt like it was in his throat. They were taking him somewhere he was frightened he was going to a big haunted castle, at the front there was a chrome tarantula with blood all over it, its mouth was open they took Jimmy into the castle there was a man sitting on a grey chair.

Ready to go!

“Lets go!” exclaimed Barry, his stubby fingers grasping the door handle. “ I DON’T WANT TO GO!” screamed Phoebe, her voice was trembling. “We have to go now or we’ll miss it. COME ON!”

 

They rushed down the street, Barry dragging his sister behind him. Just as Barry thought his legs wouldn’t work anymore ,they saw it. Filling up the whole field, the magnificent wood planks wrapped around the oak floor, beneath the mighty zeppelin.  

 

“WOAH” said Barry in awe. He couldn’t believe what he had just seen, let alone that he would soon be traveling inside it for two weeks.

 

They went to inform the captain they were there but he was there to greet them. Captain Gerald’s big figure filled the doorway of the ship ,his beard as grey as steel. The steps to the door seemed to tremble as his big booming voice said “Welcome to the Star Grazer”

 

They followed Captain Gerald to their cabin, taking in the surroundings.  It looked… well marvellous.  There were pictures of all the captains there had ever been on the Star Grazer – in golden frames, their names listed below … Captain Gary Fitzgerald, Captain Tom Morris, Captain Sandra Goth.  Barry wished that one day, his picture would be there too.

 

In their cabin were two beds, with sheets of blue velvet as warm and comfortable as a mother’s embrace.  Maps of places Barry didn’t even know were on the walls.  Barry knew he was going to enjoy this next fortnight.  His sister’s face didn’t look quite so sure.

 

The engine slowly grumbled into life like a lion waking from a long slumber and everything shook.  The ship was ready to go.

the adventure begins

Fin, Hazel and Isaac lived in the town of Togur with their parents. Isaac and Hazel were twins while fin was on only child. One day, Fin received a letter. ” What’s this?” He asked as he tore open the letter. It read ” meet me at the lake at 10pm, and come alone “, so Fin wore his Mum out so she would go to bed early. At 9:30pm his mum told him ” I’m heading up to bed, you can stay up a bit more if you want “, as she heaved herself up the stairs. When he could hear her snoring, he quickly packed his duffel bag and set off towards the lake. As he burst through the bushes he heard footsteps behind him. ” Stay back foul beast, I warn you, I’m armed ” , he said as he pulled his hockey stick out from his bag. Suddenly, he felt a cold hand on his shoulder. “Boo!”, said a familiar voice. As he spun his head round he saw his best friend behind him. “Isaac!”, exclaimed Fin as he saw a small boy, with blonde hair and a navy shirt with a picture of a griffin on it. ” Gotcha ” , he giggled as he started to laugh his head off.” ” How did you even know I was here?” Asked Fin. ” Hazel asked me to follow her but we got separated in the forest, when I finally got out, I saw you and decided to scare you”, “Oh”, replied Fin. Suddenly, the ground started to shake and the lake started to drain. “What’s going on?” shouted Fin. “Don’t ask me!” replied Isaac. At that moment, a skyship rose from the drained lake and they saw a dark haired girl standing at the front. ” Hazel! ” exclaimed Fin and Isaac. ” Hop on! ” she exclaimed ” I’ll explain everything soon ” , as soon as she said that, ropes shot down from the skyship and the boys started climbing.​
