The Explorers
St . Mary ' s Canossian College , Wong , Rachel - 13

O nce upon a time , a beautiful kingdom once was there , looking at the ocean . Until one day … Noodb , an evil leader of a treasure hunting team , Dominators , wanted to take away the treasure maps and the secret recipe from two famous explorers , Haunter and Hans that could make people much more strong . He set a plan and attacks the kingdom . Everything in the kingdom was destroyed by Noodb ’ s well-trained warriors . Even those two experienced explorers wouldn ’ t bother to fight them and were captured by them .

In the campsite that the villagers had built for the people that needed help , four boys were there , guarding the campsite . Stompy was a charming , strong and intelligent boy but he was quite naughty sometimes . Next to him was a kind-hearted , loyal , brave and smart boy , Furo , ‘ What should we do ? Haunter and Hans are missing ! We can ’ t get enough resources without them .’ Stompy , ‘ Clam down . We will find them when we have clues . Those traitors should be punished !’ Just then , Storm , a stubborn boy who always follows behind Stompy shouted , ‘ Hey guys ! Look ! I found a journal in Haunter ’ s house . I thought it may be helpful so I brought it here .’ ‘ Nice work , Storm . We better check it out .’, said Stompy , ‘ Hmm … Looks like Haunter has drawn a desert to leave us a clue . I think they went to the west desert as I saw them retreated to the west .’ ‘ Yeah and I will come too !’ shouted Thanos , a selfish , arrogant , cruel and fussy boy , ‘ I will be famous if
I really found them and brought them back .’ ‘ First of all , is us and second of all , you are not going to get them by yourself ! Come on , we are going to take Scar the dog with us too .’ said Furo . They then began to back their things and geared up with diamond armour , diamond swords , bows and arrows . ‘ Hope this will go well …’ whispered Storm . The adventure started .
However , it didn ’ t go well actually . When the four boys went out to the woods , they had to face the first challenge , Zombies . ‘ Erm … Guys , should we go back ? I don ’ t want to be here !’ cried Storm . After a few struggle , they finally decided to went inside the forest . It was dark and hardly saw each other . Stompy lighted up a torch to see where they were going . All of a sudden , a zombie jumped out of nowhere and tried to eat Thanos . ‘ Help ! Help me !’, screamed Thanos . Furo stabbed his sword right through the zombie and saved Thanos . Stompy joked ,‘ Thanos is a coward . Thanos is a coward …’ Although they were fighting zombies through the road in the forest , they still laughed at Stompy ’ s joke and soon found themselves out of the dark forest . Stompy , Furo , Storm , Thanos and Scar walked to the mountains and started to climb . When they reach the top , they saw loads of towers and a small wooden bridge . Storm whispered , ‘ I don ’ t think it is a good idea to cross the bridge . If we got shot , we would definitely going to fall to our death !’ ‘ Well , let ’ s hope for the best !’, claimed Furo . They slowly and quietly cross the bridge . However , when Stompy stepped onto the bridge , skeletons started shooting from the towers . They decided to use TNT to blow up every towers there had .
As there were a lot of towers and skeletons , they took a week to clear out all of them and during that progress , Scar sniffed out a stone called kryptonite . It had the power of reviving people and making everything back to life , but no one had ever found out how to lighten the stone . Finally , they got rid of every tower there had and crossed the bridge .
They crossed over the mountain and set up a tent . They settled down and hunted down some food as they were low on food and health . Little did they knew , the area was belonged to a kind of creature called , creeper . Creepers blew themselves up to deal serious damage on people . It was just like suicide but for their own kind to survive . When the night fell , Stompy , Storm , Furo , Thanos and Scar rested .
