The West Mountains Mission
Creative Primary School , Lee , Jeston - 10

I t was the year 2200 . The world was divided into two camps , the Unity Camp and the Rights camp . The Unity camp believed that people must be ready to sacrifice for their country to make the country stronger , but the Rights camp found individual rights and freedom more important . The two camps could not tolerate each other and there were many conflicts between them . These conflicts soon turned into a full-scale war . Both camps developed powerful weapons to obliterate each other . A secret organization , called Harmony , gathered volunteers to sabotage the battle plans of both camps . They wanted peace and harmony .

When Harmony discovered that the Unity camp had developed a secret ultimate weapon , they were very worried . Intelligence told them that this secret ultimate weapon could destroy the world in a few minutes . Harmony decided to send out their best team to destroy this secret ultimate weapon . This best team comprised Justin , a resourceful leader ; Joe , a world champion fighter ; Felix , a very cool sniper ; and Robin , a genius hacker .
Harmony believed that the secret weapon might be kept in the laboratory of the Unity camp in the West Mountains . The team needed to devise a plan to destroy the weapon .
“ OK , here is our plan ,” Justin said . “ First , we need to find out the exact location of the West Mountains Laboratory by stealing the U-Camp compass from Colonel Ivanov , the War General of Unity camp . Secondly , we need to find out the password to gain access to the Laboratory . Then , we need to hack into the central security network of the Laboratory and destroy the ultimate secret weapon . Finally , we need to retreat to safety .” “ That sounds easy and exciting , and exactly how are we going to do that ?” asked Robin . “ No worries . I will think of something on the way ,” said Justin confidently .

“ Are we there yet ?” asked Colonel Ivanov . “ Yes , sir . We are almost there ,” replied the chauffeur . As Colonel Ivanov stepped out of his car and went into his favourite restaurant , four men also charged into the kitchen of that restaurant .
“ Hey , who are you ?” asked the cook . “ We are cooks sent by Colonel Ivanov . From now on , we are to prepare the food for the Colonel . You and the other cooks have to leave ,” said Justin . “ But we haven ’ t received any orders from the Colonel !” “ This is the order !” Joe punched the cook in the stomach and knocked him down . In the blink of an eye , Joe knocked down every servant in the kitchen and tied them up . “ Get to work now !” said Justin .
The team took out the pre-prepared food and served it to the Colonel . Very soon , the Colonel clutched his stomach , got his bag and stumbled to the toilet . Justin winked at Joe and the two of them followed the Colonel to the toilet . As soon as the Colonel hung his bag on the back of the door and sat down on the toilet , Joe sneaked in and took his bag ! Ivanov screamed and cursed him , but Joe was already gone .
“ OK , we now have the compass . But how to get the password for the West Mountains Laboratory ?” asked Felix . “ Robin , can you hack into the computer of the Unity Camp and find out the password ?” asked Justin . Robin turned on the computer . His fingers danced on the keys and lines and lines of words appeared on the monitor . “ OK , I got it . The password is … General Nikolaev ’ s fingerprints !” “ Who ’ s this General Nikolaev ?” asked Joe . “ General Nikolaev is the War Commander of the Unity Camp . He is also nicknamed the Gloved Man as he always wears gloves . Hmm , that ’ s a bit tricky ,” said Justin .

“ What ’ s this invitation for ?” asked General Nikolaev . “ It ’ s the invitation from Comrade Litov . He wanted to thank our hard work and success for developing the ultimate weapon , so he invited all the generals to a buffet party ,” answered the secretary of General Nikolaev .
