The Battle of Lithia
By Bob Burlestein
CHAPTER
1
The
evil minions of the world Sabaktu lined up their rocket and mortar
launchers.
They set the coordinates:Amoumos. The leader of this strange
and
savage world ordered them to arm the weapons. The leader raised his
arm
and yelled, "Fire!" The explosions were deafening as the
rockets
and
mortars blasted away towards Amoumos. The city that had gained the
most
popularity and people was Bavaria. It was teeming with people. After
Zrak
and his armies were no more, the reproduction of people skyrocketed.
A
rocket flew in from the sky and crashed into someone's house. A giant
fireball
rose into the air and sprayed flaming debris. People started
screaming.
Another rocket blasted into the ground blasting chunks of
earth
into the air. Mortars
started crashing down, blowing up more homes
and
houses. The last rocket took out a Helicopter dealer. the Sabaktu
minions
began
to move their rocket and mortar launchers away. The leader chcukled.
"
Good job, mates. Good job." they moved away, planning for phase
two.
Mathio
awoke from his home and ran over to the town to see what had happened.
"What
the hell is going on here?!" The townsman answered," I haven't
the
slightest
idea. One minute we were sleapin' peacefully, the next we was being
bombed."
Everyone tossed water over the burning flames. They all talked and
discussed
briefly what had happened. Then they all went to bed, thinking
everything
was safe. little did they know that they were very wrong. The
leader
at the distant planet was far from over. he ordered a space shuttle
be
sent to the planet of Amoumos. Inside it was to be 5 gun men.
"5-4-3-2-
1-BBLLAASSTTT
OOOFFF!" The spacecraft took off and made its way down to Amoumos.
After
the little conversation on what to do, they voted and one man was put
outside
to make sure nothing else would happen. He watched the sky with
his
9000X binoculars. So far there was no movement. He stretched back and
looked
at all the stars. One of them was moving along he sky. At first,
the
lookout thought it was a shooting star. But when it seemed to get
closer,
he
pulled out his binoculars and zoomed in on it. It was not a shooting
star,
but
a space shuttle. The lookout ran to the military barracks and explained
the
situation.
10 men ran out with plasma guns to face the unknown object. They
hoped
it would halt and when it didn't, the y pulled out their plasma guns and
shot
it. One of the plasma rounds struck the space shuttle's gas holder. Fuel
leaked
out and sparks jetted around. One of the sparks caught on the gas and
the
craft
exploded and rocketed down to Amoumos. The 10 gunsmen that were shooting
the
shuttle fled. The shuttle struck the ground and cause a tremendous
explosion
when
it hit the ground. Flaming debris sprayed across the landscape, thus
causing
a great concern in the Bavaria. They all had a meeting and firmly
believed
that
the rockets and space shuttles were coming from the northeast in the
sky.
They
had 5 men bring out their best telescope and their best telescopic
rifle.
A
man sat down in front of the telescope and looked around. He didn't see
anything.
He
looked all around and saw creatures standing on the edge of a far way
planet
preparing
grenade launchers. He whirled around and told the rifleman where they
were.
The rifleman loaded the quad-cab lightning launcher and sat down.
