Old Treasures Found

Today while unpacking after the move, I found my old first writing five star notebook thing. I looked through it and found my very first draft of "The Super Team". When I spelled "The Beginning" "The Begging" or when Geico my pet lizard (I got a few months before) was spelled Giko or when where is were. Good times.

(I must also add that Super Pig and some of the Super Team were made before the story and used in a comic)

Then I continued and found another version of that same thing. I still spelled Beginning wrong, and didn't know anything about paragraphs, but at least the story had a beginning.

Then I kept looking and found a third version (the one that was probably before i started typing) it went out of the kiddie pool and into the 3 feet pool. (More depth)(4Th grade)

I even looked more and found my attempt to have The Super Team sequel "The Super Team Jr. League. Which gave birth of the very confusing family of Max. (I wrote this in 5Th grade)

In 6Th grade Max and his evil older brother Bryan, good older brother Simon, twin-brother John (I think I spelled it Jhon) and older sister Nicole, were in a not-so-short short story called "The Lesson" (14 pages long) I put the story with my "Kid Talk" Magazine project.

In 7Th grade the family were put into another story (at a place I had in my Magazine (as an ad and interview) the story was rushed and kind of ruined, but gave me another branch off "Gearz"

"Gearz" was never really written, but is played with my little brother. It has little robots that are powered by what i believe I said a Trikon battery (I'm addicted to Tri I think I used Triniforous Mountains in "A World without Magic"
Anyways the robots minds were connected to their human owners, and the humans used the robots to fight and beat evil people.

Back to Max, he was also used in 7Th grade in a different story (without the 4 siblings) called "The Unknown" a really good story that gave me the idea for "A World without Magic."


So I guess if I never came up with Super Pig, I never would have made "The Super Team" making no "Super Team Jr." meaning no "The Lesson" which would have made me not make "The Unknown" making me never start "A World Without Magic."

Weird how that worked. Anyways I also found some pictures from 4Th and 5Th grade, some more illegible stories and who knows what I'll find tomorrow.

Wait she never said that, I mean:

Food

The other day my mother mentioned something on her blog about cheese being really thin and small now.

Well it's my turn and this time it's about bread. Not super extra healthy wheat bread, nasty tasting rye-bread, or that stuff your mom buys and you are to lazy to find out what it is bread. I'm talking about plain, dyed, white-bread.

Like cheese white bread has gotten thinner, so thin it's impossible to eat without fifty other things. It also takes forever to toast. If it's thinner shouldn't take less time.

My friends and I were talking about homemade-stuff, somebody has gumbo, bread, jam, soy nut-butter, etc etc.

Another has jelly, untried things like peanut-butter on waffles, and other stuff.

What does my family have (that I know of) great cakes, cookies, and spaghetti with clams, great chicken noodle soup, and some other things.

Not to mention my sand which-making skills, and inability to make mac and cheese.

When I started this blog I planned on saying my family didn't have much homemade stuff, I was stupid and forgot my grandmothers big book of recipes, and my aunts 30-minute delicious dinners.

Yes! I did it again!

You probably know that Britney Spears entered rehab Friday left, shaved her head, got a tattoo and went back to rehab, got out of rehab and now has that child ownership lawsuit stuff.

Well looks like I did it again, only a few more left:

On Demand gets even better.

I've improved the A World Without Magic On Demand stuff. If you read everyone of my posts you should know that there is two versions they are:

V1 (Version 1)-V1 is the original version it comes with all the stories and information on future parts. V1 gets exclusive things like surveys and profiles. If you get V1 I would like some feedback now and then (positive or negative) if you don't I might put you on V2
Any version of On Demand lets you just e-mail me and ask for the part you want (currently there are 6.)

V2(Version 2)-V2 is less spam-like I only give you release date plans and the story. This is for the people who only read some stuff or rarely check their e-mail. I don't expect feedback from people with V2.

Now I've added some things, like the profiles and surveys, which I won't or can't put on my story blog These things are for On Demand V1 "users" only.

Why do you want On Demand? You can get a copy of any part in your e-mail. You also get the next part right when it is finished, before I blog it. if you looked at my blog I only have Part 4 up so far, but if you get on Demand you can get them anytime.

Joining On Demand you will get all parts sent to you (in one big document)

If you wish to join please leave a comment and leave your e-mail address and what version you want.

Door-to-door salesmen

Today while walking home form the school bus stop with my younger sibling, I saw a door-to-door salesmen with a quite worried look on his face, he wasn't going to every house (after he left the house he came from (in the direction of my house.

He must have just been at my house and been barked at by the chewer, the talker, and the dog that's bark can be heard by the dead.

So I thought of why door-to-door salesmen still exist. I mean no body wants their items. girl Scout cookies were in the fall, no one cares to go to their door unless someone is coming over. Why do we even have door-to-door salesmen when they all know this will happen:

Salesmen walks up to my door, after staring at the No Soliciting, I don't want any, My dogs will go crazy, you've been dropped on the head to many times if your still reading this, go away signs. Then they walk up to the door and knock on it.

After a trip on my dogs, yell at my sister for not helping and block the dogs off I answer the door only to be asked, "Would you you like to by a subscription to the Sacramento Bee?
Oh yes I want it where else could I find it oh yeah:Everyone has computers and a television, already has the paper, the paper is sold near my bus stop, and my school gets a copy everyday that my Journalism teacher has me read.

Than the person just stares at the big nosed dog inching out of my grasp just trying to break free and "attack." They take two more minutes to leave and when they do my dogs won't shut up.

You know the word door-to-door salesmen doesn't work

People don't go to others houses and talk the front door into buying more doors.

It should be Door-to-annoyed person in the house with three dogs that are trying to run out and attack-salesmen.

"Don't worry, I have plans for you."

As the title suggests I have plans, BIG plans.

These plans will involve things in A World without Magic, this blog, and many other things.

There will be:

The Big twist
2 big changes
And another secret thing.

He he he.

Now for my blog.

Today my aunt, mother, and twin-sister thing, were talking about my writing. Yes mine, not someone else's, mine, yay. They (mother and aunt) say my writing is great, but I need to do spellcheck. I would like an updated version of word, but not the other things in Microsoft Office. once I find a way to hack into the system, I'll let you know.

So I've borrowed a writing book from my aunt Angee and I will have my nose in it (When it's not being smacked by a Wii Remote or chewed by Daisy.

Ew... spell check.

Out of my way!

Today I discovered the bad thing of being tall, I get in the way.

We had to do an assigment today that involved the overhead. I finsihed and went from my seat in the back to go help someone in the front. The people that wern't done yet couldn't see the overhead ,becuase I'm too tall, yet they can see over my friend standing next to me.

Otherwise being tall is great.

Even though I don't like music today is an exception. I found a site called it lets you listen to music, (not download) Like a radio. You can chosse the song or album or artsit you want to listen to and well listen to thier music. You can make an accont and make a playlist of 45 songs. (3 per artist) then listen to them. Best of all, if you have a Nintendo Wii and it's internet Opera Browser. You can go on there and enter your username and listen to the songs you put on your playlist or the songs they have on thier (a lot of them is there)

so its finetune.com and on the wii it's finetune.com/wii

My sister now loves the Wii due to that website.

Eviloveractiveimaginationitghious

Due to my writer block I had for 2 weeks, my brain kept tkaing everything somebody said or di and doing something else to it.

One kid was thrown in a dumpster, one was hit by a metor, a door flew off and flew to Maine, Emily's hair caught on fire, a kid got hit by the school buses door and many other evil things my mind can think of.

Is this a sign? Am I supposed to think of a supervillan for the story now? Will thw world come to an end? Will 2 + 2 =Monkey? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie-pop? The world may never know.

Okay that's done. I talked to my dad today and my brother (B.E.N.) overheard and now want's a Wii himself. Haha I speard the word like a mosquito speads a disease.

Mii Loves the Wii

If you read my mother's blog than you know that I got a Wii! It's awesome, kind of hard to set up, but then after I figure it all out I find a simple set up guide, oh well it didn't take that long.

The Wii Remote (Wiimote) is a lot smaller than I expected. I thought it would be pretty big, but it's smaller than my dvd player remote (which is small)

The Wiimotes senseitvity is fine, but you have to remember to not stand to close to the tv, I haven't had any too far away problems.

The nunchuck attachment is good too, but the buttons have no use in the two games I have (Wii Sports and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz.

Okay I'll brag more about it later, but for now I have some news about A World without Magic.

1.On Demand v.2 will start Feb.1st. V.2 is the less spammy version and only contains revisions and stories. V.1 has time (release of stories) updates, revisions, the story and all that other stuff.

To get On Demand either leave a comment saying you want to be (be sure to include the version and your e-mail address) or you can e-mail me at joseph@hahnathome.com

2.February 1st/2nd is the day Part 5 and the secret thing will be ready. I will post part five at the other site and have e-mailed the secrect thing.

3.The secret thing will not only be for Feb. 1st/2nd, but will be updated along with the parts. The secret thing for awhile will only be avalible via On Demand until I can figure out how to put it on a blog.

4.Due to school projects, my writers block, the Wii, a social life, and Daisy the dates might change, but I will try to keep them the same.

!


Yeah that happened today, I had a day where just about everything didn't go my way. First I wake up late, even for a Saturday, at 10 am. Then when I come out Emily loooks at me and starts telling me my chores, but stutters them and forgets to tell me I have another chore.
Than when I finally get around to scrubbing the floor, she tells me to use a rag instead of what worked the best. It's hard to scrub the floor when it's covered with Daisy hair that emily was supposed to sweep up!
Then I have to do it again, because I did a bad job.
When I'm finally finished with the chores, Mom makes me walk the dogs with Emily, and walking Gina is like walking a deaf dog, (s)he won't listen to me. And Emily has to complain about a rock in her shoe the whole way.
Than when I get home I want to write so all my anger is out, but guess what I have writers block making today a 2 and a half anger day.
%#@$! (Why did that link?)

Joe Im Yes

First of all it took me 10 minutes to log into this thing. No my computers not slow, some reason it just wouldn't let me in! Me having to type my e-mail address 100 times finally worked. Okay now that I'm done rambling on with my post.

2nd of all I'm making a sub-site(Joe Im Yes) that will have my A World Without Magic stories in it. This way this site is a blog and that site is a...story thing. Stories will be up soon and there will still be an On Demand which I mention more about below.

3rd of all I might do two versions of on demand one with all the updates and stuff and one with just the story and revisions.

4th-I want to recommend this cool site to all the people who play games on thier computer and or have a wii connected to the internet. So I want to recommend this to the 1 person (whomever that may be)

There is this cool site called wiicade.com it has flash games that work with a mouse or the wii remote for the wii. Baiscly for the two of you who decided to look here you can use the Wii Remote to play the games instead of the mouse, making it a little funner.

5th-Part 5 of AWWM will be awhile so I'm going to put it into parts like I did with Part 4, expect it to be done by the end of the weekend.

6th-To keep with the title of the blog, here is my game of the day:

Papa Louie: When Pizzas Attack.

This game is a web game and it saves on your computer without taking any memory (you can stop playing and come back to the level you were on, but you have to use the same computer)

This game is fun and from what I see long. It's about some guy who's pizzas created a portal that sent everyone that had a pizza into pizza land, and these people were captured by pizza things. The plot sucks, but the game's fun. I noticed that there is a Nintendo Wii in the backround right before (and after) you enter Level 1-2.

http://www.miniclip.com/games/papa-louie/en/
The game can be found in the link above.

Funny posts will come back tommorow they are just sleeping today.

I'm a measurement!


Forget inches, meters, miles, and whatever they use in other countries there is a new measurement in town, Joe.

The other day a student (I will can Mindy) was trying to get another student (I will call Barcus) to tell her an answer to number 2 of some science thing. Here's the conversation (PS. I'm between the two please see illustration. (I made it look like a note!)

Mindy: Barcus! What's the answer to number 2?

Barcus:Why does everyone want to know?

Mindy:The problem is confusing.

Barcus:Your to far away other people will hear you.

Mindy:Oh come on your only Joe away from me.


So Joe is 6 feet 1.5 or more inches. I wonder what the other measurements are. Maybe these:


Geico (Gieco)-6 inches

Daisy-5'5 paws

Gina-5'6 paws

Emily-5 feet (it's more like 5'6ish)

Mom-4 feet (fine 5'8 ish)

I'm back!

After 7 days of lying in bed motionless couhing and sneezing and with the imgination of a ball. Me or most of me is back. I've edited parts 1-4 and started part 5 which no one can see yet.

I'm no longer posting my story on my blog, so instead I get to add everybody to my address book. Please if you haven't leave your e-mail address in a comment and remember to click send or whatever it says there, so you will be on the ON Demand list.

Part 5 will be awesome, short, and have one of those things thagt most "fun" slides have, try to figure out what I just said as I ramble on about what happened while I was sick.

I was sick on "hump day" of last week and didn't miss too much in school. When I came back I wasn't greeted with the somewhat preppy fouth-period learn-how-to-kill-yourself class (Algebra 1) but instead there was a women who looked like my sisters learn-how-to-kill-some-of-yourself teacher (Math 2 and 3) but she had an accent. Stronger then Arnold Stasdajksfsdfv.

As of what she said I was in the wrong spot for two days (Thurs. and Fri.) but of course I can't understand what shes saying on the count that of her accent and that i'm to busy coughing, becasue I just ran a mile and my body is supposed to be under a bunch of blankets right now. But anyways when I asked my real teacher on monday if I was in the right spot she said I was in the right desk.

So anyways I pray we get the sub that talks like a robot and wears a scarf at 110 degree weather rather than ms strvakoaljfdlslkfdsjklsdak.

AWWM: Part 4 part 1 part 1

Due to part four being longer then my patience has been for a Wii. I will post this on my blog in 5 or more parts (In the story it's in 2 parts) So here is 4.1.1:

Part 4
Meanwhile
SES walked out of his shack and watched Melvin go.
“That boy’s troubles have only started,” he mumbled to himself.
SES walked into the town square, where everybody was trying to awake others using magic, only to find no result.
“Von is right, they do use magic too much,” SES said.
SES decided Kai and the mayor could handle the problem for now. SES walked back to his shack, but saw on the other side of the wall—fish with sticks poking through them. SES walked towards them and then saw a cloud of smoke surround the area. SES started running towards it, but stopped due to a sharp pain in his leg. He had had that injury since the day he became mayor. SES limped over to the wall, but the smoke was gone.
SES got closer right when the wall shook due to something hitting it.
“Oh, Melvin, what did you do?” SES asked.
The old man took a sapphire-like stone from his robe and said, “I was saving this for a sunny day, but I guess this will do.” SES crushed the stone and threw blue dust in the air. A few seconds later it started to rain.

On the other side of the wall
Melvin didn’t feel any pain at all; in fact he thought he must have died so fast he didn’t feel anything. Suddenly he felt something cold on his nose. Melvin opened his eyes and saw that it was raining.
The rock golem’s fist was right in front of Melvin’s face. The creature had stopped and was falling apart.
“Curse this rain,” Von hissed.
“We need to get going Von,” Van said.
“Fine, Smelvin, you are lucky we let you live this time, just stay out of our way and we will let you and your filthy human girl stay alive,” Von said.
Melvin looked puzzled, but before he could say anything the creature collapsed and Melvin fell to the ground and dust filled the air. When the dust cleared the two men were gone and the rain had stopped.

Anger!

World without Magic Part 4 info-Not started yet!

A star (not celebrity) must have moved or something, because today for about 15 minutes I was angry.

I rarely get angry, but when I do it's in 1 of three levels.

level 1-Mild

I talk louder and give dirty looks. Sometimes the evil stare.

Level 2-Spicy (Hot)
Voice gets kinda evil on you, I yell more and have the patience of a 2-year-old

Level 3-Atomic
Don't bug me! you will be injured and your face may never look pretty again, but hey you could sell yourself on EBay and say the bruise is the shape of mount Rushmore.

So I got angry today, because the Microsoft Word wasn't doing the indent thing right and the dogs wouldn't shut up. So I was about a level 2.

How to tell when someone is about to be angry-

Joe-Is really nice, but in a few hours something will tick him off. Stay for the nice, leave right away. Hard to avoid. Usally level 2.

Ben-Never really angry, you can tell if he's getting it by his yelling and cursing, usally angry due to the evil football video game. Pretty easy to avoid. Level 1+

Emily-Let's face it she's a girl, worse, a teenage girl. She no mather what will be grumpy at least 12 times a year. You can tell only by her voice and eyes. Impossible to avoid. Level 2-3

Matt-6-year-old crazy monkey, Gets mad from not having his way or from getting hurt. Easy to avoid, but be careful can come back. Level 1-2

Parker-Usally always at Level 1 and a half so just ignore him when he "talks smack."

Dad, Mom and Jen- Sometimes they have the patience as long as 2 story candle sometime as short as an atom. Just don't bug them. Level 2-3.

Yes! I'm Crazy

Yep it's offical I'm crazy. Didn't get a Wii today, my mom better have that computer working when I get there or she'll have alot of blood to clean up from me hitting my head on the wall for three hours before they get my in a straight jacket.

Well at least I'll to be by myself on the plane, since no one wants to sit next the kid who flings peanuts at them, sticks them up his nose, and never stops saying Wii or I hate EB Games.

Heres a new preview to the new Narnia movie (or something like that)

Mii wants a Wii

I'm sorry to say that A World Without Magic Part 4 is delayed until after Jan.13th.

I've been calling EB games everyday this week and they still don't have magic in a white box (Wii). I have enough money, more then enough yet I'm still Wiiless, I swear I'm going crazy! Ben's gone crazy for his own reason, he's speaking backwards the other day while joking around (he always says I enjoy long walks on the beach), but then he said I enjoy beachs on the walk. Talk about crazy.

Joes Symptoms of craziness:

Call Daisy not by her real name instead call her Gina more then once a day.
Fill the dog food bowls with water
Forget the day Christmas is.
Forget how to spell (wait that already happened)
Stutter on the eaiseset of sentaces
Never use spellcheck
Call your little brother Daisy and talk like you would to her.

Hmm me must be crazy, at least me did okay on the spelling tonight.

Hope that I get a Wii tommorow if not my "1 week until I go completly insane" thing will happen.

~Geez Joe your crazy
-Ben Hahn (and more, but I'm to crazy to remember)

1st post, third part

First of all I would like to say Happy New Year, also I'm going to be seeing if the blog will look better in a new color. Everyday (or every time I post) I will put a diffrent color up. Please tell me if you like it or not.

Part 3 of A World Without Magic is below.

P.s.-ON Demand people WILL NOT be getting this due to my location. Please cope for now.

Part 3

Von squeezed the red stone again and Melvin, Kai and everyone else fell asleep.

* * *

Melvin opened his eyes and saw Kai asleep next to him. Melvin looked up and saw Von standing next to a portal. An orb was flying around him and a face that looked like Von was talking.
“I’m telling you Von this girl came out of nowhere and pushed me through the portal. When we came through my portal opener was broken,” the orb man said to Von.
“Well what did you do with the girl?” Von asked the man.
“The girl passed out from the trip, so I threw her in the river,” the man said.
“You what! You better hope she’s dead or she will tell everyone about what happened!” Von yelled.
“Okay sir. Now are you coming or not? We need to go now if we want to find this boy your talking about,” the man in the orb said.
“Very well,” Von said as he grabbed the orb and shook it the face disappeared. Von pocketed the orb and went through the portal.
Melvin blinked a few times in disbelief that Von would take the towns magic. He also had so many questions going around in his head that he couldn’t think straight. Luckily Kai began to awaken.
Melvin grabbed Kai and shook him, “Wake up Kai! He’s gone. Von’s gone and he has our magic!” Melvin yelled in Kai’s ear.
Kai snapped awake and pushed Melvin aside.
“Where did he go? I demand to know where he is!” Kai questioned Melvin.
“He went through a portal, and he was talking to this strange orb that said something about a girl that messed up his plans and that he wanted to find some boy,” Melvin answered.
“A girl? What girl was he talking about? Where is she now?” Kai asked.
“The orb guy said he dumped her in the river after she passed out from going in a portal. Pretty weak even for a girl huh?” Melvin said.
“It’s not weak if this girl lost her magic,” Kai said.
“Oh, I didn’t think about that,” Melvin mumbled.
“Melvin you need to find these Von and that guy from the orb, he has our magic! They are planning something Melvin! You need to go to the ocean and get on a boat. Go around our walls and follow the river to the Trisofourous Mountains. Get past the mountains and find the temple. Your trip will take two week to the temple and back, got it.” Kai said to Melvin seriously.
“Yeh yes sir!” Melvin stuttered and he ran off towards the ocean.


Dani coughed, water spat out of her mouth and she looked around. She was on the side of a river, which was pretty slow. Dani stood up and looked around.
“Great, I don’t know where I am or why I’m here,” she said to herself.
Dani decided to walk down the river towards the ocean in hopes to find a siteos.

It wasn’t long before Melvin came to the ocean, but there were no boats on the dock. Melvin sighed and looked around he saw a small shack with smoke coming out of the chimney.
Melvin stomach growled, he hadn’t eaten since early that morning and he was also tired. Melvin went into the shack, which was dirty and smelled like Kai’s great grandparents feet.
He saw nobody in the main room except an old man sleeping on a couch. Melvin slowly walked towards the old man who was in a very worn out tunic and short shorts. The man’s baldhead reflected the only light in the shack, which made it hard for Melvin to see.
The man suddenly awoke and grabbed Melvin’s arm and twisted it. Melvin fell to the ground yelling in pain.
“Ha ha, silly boy trying to use the Old Mans head without paying now is he?” the man said as he got up stepping on Melvin’s leg.
“Your head?” Melvin asked while trying to escape from under the old man.
“Yes my head Melvin Stragatini! It shows the future you bag-of-dirt for brains,” the old man croaked.
“Will you please get off me?” Melvin yelled.
The old man stepped off and Melvin stood up.
“How do you know my name?” Melvin asked the man.
“I know everything Melvin I-wet-my-pants-at-night-until-I-was-ten,” the old man laughed.
“How did you know that I did that?” Melvin asked angrily.
“I told you I know everything, little boy,” the man said.
“Who are you?” Melvin questioned.
“I am Samodextrious Extratresstredious Steve, but you can call me Ses,” the man said as he went into the back room.
“How do you know everything?” Melvin asked as he followed.
“How do you know nothing?” Ses asked.
Melvin started thinking about how Ses could know everything, than he remembered something from his studies when he was below apprentice level.
“You’re the old town leader, once you served forty years of town leader you must learn from the old, old town leader about how to see the future, know the present, and the past. That way if anything happened to the town you could help save it,” Melvin said.
“See you do know about who I am and what I do. You also know you need to get a boat and go to the river. Then walk up the river to the mountains and find the temple,” Ses said.
“Yeah, your right,” Melvin said slowly.
“I’ll feed you and give enough supplies to last two months,” Ses said.
“Two months? Kai said it would take two weeks to get to the temple and back,”
Ses chuckled, “You will need more just in case Melvin.”
“Fine,” Melvin mumbled.

Melvin was soon fed and said goodbye to Ses. Melvin turned to walk away, but Ses grabbed his arm and threw Melvin on the floor, just as he did when they first met.
“Before you go take this,” Ses handed Melvin a whistle the shape of a bird.
“What is this?” Melvin asked as he examined the gift.
“A wisdom whistle, blow into it and I shall come and give you advice, but it only has three whistles Melvin and I can only stay for a minute, so have your question ready okay.”
“Yes sir. Hey do you have any magic?” Melvin asked.
“I lost my magic a long time ago Melvin, long before anyone knew you could lose it,” Ses replied.
Melvin nodded and left for the canoe. He had very little sunlight left for the trip and knew he had to go fast. Melvin wrapped the whistle around his neck and pushed the canoe in the ocean.

At the Riverbank
Dani grabbed the Bass and threw it onto the side of the river with the other fish. She had only walked for a half-an-hour before the sun started going down. She had decided to get some fish so she can trade a fisherman for some supplies and information.
For some strange reason Dani could always catch fish with ease. Ever since she was five and went fishing with her father during the spring and summer she had been catching more fish then her father, usually with her bare hands.
Dani picked up some large sticks and drove them through the fish. Than she put the sticks erect in the mud so the very small bears in the country couldn’t steal her catch, it helped the fish dry and it made it easier to skin the fish or as Dani’s father always said defin and degill.
Dani put the last fish up and lay down to sleep, but would soon be interrupted by a strange unexpected arrival.

Melvin stepped out of the canoe and pulled out his bag of ridiculous amount of supplies Ses gave him. He was now on the other side of the magic town wall. Melvin looked up and saw, not to far away from him, a bunch of sticks with fish at the top. Melvin could never fish, he was always to busy doing something else to have time fishing, like splashing the girls or cutting their fishing rod strings right as they caught a fish. Melvin was interrupted from his thought due to a loud scream coming from beyond the fish sticks.
Melvin grabbed a blade of grass and mumbled a few words the grass turned into a small dagger. He looked up and saw a bunch of smoke from where the screaming was. Melvin ran into the smoke and saw two men crouched down with their hands on their heads and a girl near the river throwing rocks at them. Melvin squinted and saw that one of the two guys was Von and the other was the man who was in the bubble.
Von took a brown stone from his pocket and squeezed it; a vortex of dirt flew towards the girl. The vortex went around her and she couldn’t move.
Melvin threw the dagger at Von, but the man behind him mumbled something and the weapon turned into grass again.
“Well, well, well, it is Kai’s apprentice. What your name again? Oh yes Smelvin,” Von said.
“How did you survive my spell? Did that goody-two-shoes Kai protect you?” Von asked.
“Why are you here?” Melvin asked “And who is this girl?” he added.
“We are tired of how life has been. So we are fixing it,” the man next to Von said.
“Who are you anyways?” Melvin asked.
The man frowned and said, “My name’s Van Hooten brother of Von Hooten, not at your service.”
“Were you trying to be funny?” Von asked Van, “This is important business we can’t joke around like some five-year-old in a team of good guys trying to save the world with their animals on their side!” Von scolded Van.
Von shut up and looked at Melvin; Von raised the brown stone and squeezed it. Melvin jumped out of the way, but there wasn’t a vortex, instead a bunch of rocks turned into a giant rock monster.
The rock monster picked Melvin up and threw him at the wall, than ran up and held Melvin in place.
“Finish him,” Von ordered his beast.
Melvin closed his eyes right as the creature’s fist headed towards him.
