The nightcrawlers were sprinting to the ship. Meanwhile, the crew were preparing the backup power and fuel for the engines whilst arming the robotic cannons. The creatures were coming at a pace; they were spotted by Giree from the crows nest. They were ready for battle. BANG! A tree was sent down to the floor from the weight of several nightcrawlers on it, the weather had changed drastically it was dark and thundering the deadly-dwellers could be peering behind you in a flash of thunder they were closer than before after that darkness and THUD BANG lightning and thunder bolted down like rain it was as if it was broad daylight like the creatures were clambering over the great enormous wall now they had spotted us from the great height and they were only fifty metres away …
Alley thought to herself over the deafening noise of the captain merely attempting to shout over the noise of lightning and thunder “ crew prepare to battle”, they were hissing like a cobra as if it was a war call. Moments later there were hordes of them were surrounding the ship (there were thousands of them but that was only in the space of about two acres) the nightcrawlers were sneaking into small pipes of the ship like the engine and the pipes leading to the air vents where the fan was kept.
Alley went down to the basement for the ammunition for the automated cannons whilst the crew were arming the cannons. A screech came from above followed by a shout “the cannons have failed”. A panic struck in my heart. The cannons had failed; they were going to attack , they were doomed…
Aley was scared and hid in a cupboard in the basement as bloodshot screams came from above on the deck a clutter of noise came from the vent she couldn’t see it was dark and the basement door was shut lights were off the eerie noise of footsteps were outside the cupboard a dark silhouette stood with red luminous eyes waiting to pounce Aley was holding her breath.Suddenly, a noise a slashing noise -like claws- scraping down on the cupboard doors Alley was terrified she froze still as the door creeped open to only see the gaze of light peering down on the nightcrawler ; it had saliva oozing down from its mouth and red light reflectant eyes it stood on all fours with its mouth open hissing and smelling the air it stood on her and an item glowing fearfully like a volcano and was pulsing like Alleys heartbeat she instantly knew what to do she held it up and a powerful light emitted out of it like a beacon shining the evil beast had melted into a pile of mushy goo a thud came from above and a scream of disbelief Alley had saved the day she was amazed.
After a week of cleaning , the crew had finally repaired the ship cleaned the guts and limbs from the deck and engine also fixed the engine Alley , who was standing next to the ship and had saved the day, the proud phoenix stood tall among the crew in front of the ship but they still needed to set off with the gem and the crew. Quickly the crew boarded the ship and set off for the long journey home. JJ was reading “what you reading JJ said Aley “nothing much just a national geography booklet” replied JJ “it had the information about the spirit stone which combined with the fire stone created the amulet of power. As they were setting off into the pink coloured sky Alley said” captain lets find that stone !” The crew cheered as they flew away in the skyship getting smaller and smaller descending into the clouds.
