The Incredible Four in Action
Victoria Shanghai Academy, Chan, Kristne - 10
“L
ook! There it is!” said Andy to his friends. They found the entrance of Misppy River and they
rushed over excitedly. The Misspy River is a long and windy river in between the land of
Misery and Happy and therefore the name of “Mis-ppy”. By the river entrance, they saw a
little fish swimming freely through the river. Just as they were watching the little fish turning and splashing
towards them, the tiny little fish turned into a huge monstrous looking fish that jumped right out of the
river with its big mouth open showing layers and layers of huge sharp teeth. Andy and his friends Nick,
Tom and Jack, the Incredible Four was shocked and petrified. They immediately turned around and hurried
through the desert but sand started to fly everywhere. They had no choice but to stop when they couldn’t
see anything, not even if they put their fingers right in front of their eyes. They were really worried and
terrified that the huge scary fish was still out there. After what feels like a century, the sand cleared and they
were relieved to find that they were safe and sound from the scary fish.
Walking back to the entrance of Misppy River again, they saw a flock of the black clouds floating around
the sky at the other side of the river. When they got to the entrance of the river, they tied a rope on each
others’ waists so that they could support each other like a team to cross the river. This time the Incredible
Four looked carefully for the size changing fish but this time there was a little cute baby fish searching for
food to eat instead of a huge ugly monster fish. Watching the baby fish searching for food made the
Incredible Four remembered how hungry they were as they barely had anything to eat since there were no
food available while they crossed the desert. Now they barely had any energy to cross the river but luckily,
they had each other to lean on. Finally they reached the other side of the river, exhausted but felt
wonderful for their achievement. From a distance they saw Dr. Miserable’s tower which has a big axe on
the top of the tower. They stopped and stared at the axe and felt the axe stabbing them at their backs.
Now, the only thing to do is to defeat Dr. Miserable but they had a problem - they couldn't fight only with
their hands. So they had to make or find some kind of weapon that can be used to defeat Dr.Miserable.
They looked desperately at each other for a second then suddenly Tom pointed at the direction of the axe.
He found a weapon store next to the axe! They peeped through the shop window looking for the
shopkeeper. They saw a man that was wearing sunglasses behind the counter but he was actually snoring as
he only wears sunglasses so as to not let anyone know he was asleep. The Incredible Four crept inside
quietly as they did not want to wake the shopkeeper up because they had no money to pay for the weapons.
Next to the counter, across the shop, Andy saw the shiny sword that he knew it was a weapon designed for
him. On the way to the tall and dark tower under the big lump of black clouds (evil Dr’s lab), the Incredible
4 thought of a plan. They would pretend to be one of the soldiers and sneak in to Dr. Miserable’s tower and
steal back the happiness they owned. Also to make sure this never happens again by locking Dr. Miserable in
the “Happy Jail”.
Inside the tower, they had to cross a room full of misery in order to get through to the room where the
happiness was kept. Inside the room of misery was the evil Dr. Miserable. The Incredible Four, disguised as
soldiers, wanted to go pass the evil doctor without him noticing. All of a sudden, Dr. Miserable sneezed and
his sneeze was as loud and windy as a typhoon. It blew everyone’s hats off and the Incredible Four had to
reveal themselves. Dr. Miserable shouted at his squeaky voice, “Who are you? Why are you in my
Tower??” The Incredible Four shouted back in unison, “We are the Incredible Four. We have come to
stop your evil plan and to get our happiness back!” Then they started to fight.
When Andy was about to fall out the window, the sword lit up and turned into a chain for Andy to chain
Dr.Miserable. The Incredible Four immediately collected all the happiness and left the creepy tower with a
chained Dr Miserable. After a long journey, the Incredible Four finally arrived back in their own village.
They put Dr Miserable in the Happy Jail at once and released the happiness that once belonged to their
village. Everything then turned back to normal and the Incredible Four became the village heros. Then,
the village got really busy setting up all the celebrations. There were flags and puppets of the Incredible
Four. In the middle of the celebration, there was a note hanging on top of one of the flags. The Incredible
Four looked at each other with a smile and went to get ready for their next mission....
