Chapter 8: Sky Landers
The skylands are the most beautiful floating island in the universe and underneath them were their new neighbours; the human race.
Sky Landers look like humans but they are not humans; some of them have special powers, they are called the ‘gifted ones’. They are the ones who protected all life on the islands but when the war started they all disappeared; so now the Sky Landers didn’t have any hope.
That was until they decided to make their own army without the ‘gifted ones’; they were unstoppable, everyone feared them, no one would take the piss out of them anymore.
All the Sky Landers who didn’t fight in the army were just farmers and they loved doing it. It was nice and peaceful; with nice weather and healthy plants and vegetables to eat.
“Hey, Jack your brother is at it again.” said the woman. The boy called Jack had red hair and green eyes with pale skin. He was wearing brown boots, green shorts and a white vest. The woman was darker skinned then Jack and younger, she was also wearing brown boots but she wasn’t wearing shorts she was wearing a skirt and a jacket. Jack got up from his stool and said “Where is he?”
“At the canyon” said the woman.
At the canyon...
“Go on Alex! Kick those city kid’s asses!” said one of the villagers.
“Don’t listen to him, knee him in the balls!”
“Go on Alex, you got them at the edge of the canyon, kick them down there with the Roarterax!!”
There were five city kids against Alex and they had weapons. Alex threw a punch to a city boy with black sunglasses, the boy didn’t more fast enough to dodge Alex’s punch, he fell to the ground holding his broken nose.
A city girl went to kick Alex in the face but he moved out of the way; the girls foot touched the ground and as she leaned forward, Alex hit the girl in the wind pipe. The girl grabbed at her neck then fell on to the floor.
There were a set of twins; one twin had big muscles and was bald, the other twin was skinny and had lots of hair. The skinny twin put his hand in his pocket and got out a knife while smiling at Alex, the other brother put some knuckle dusters on. The biggest brother went first, he threw a punch, Alex dodged the first five punches but then one got him in the chest. The other brother came with the knife; Alex quickly grabbed the twins arm and twisted it. The skinny twin let go of the knife and the knife landed on the floor, Alex quickly punched the twin in his face then quickly grabbed the knife.
The other brother threw a punch and Alex dodged it while doing so, he used the knife to stab the biggest twin’s shoulder. He cried in pain; holding the knife trying to gather his courage to pull it out. Then the skinny brother screamed a battle cry and ran to Alex.
Alex quickly grabbed the knife and pulled it out off the twin’s shoulder and threw the knife into the skinny twin’s leg; he fell to the ground crying his eyes out.
Now there was only one city boy left. Alex ran to the boy; when he got closer the boy fly-kicked Alex in the face; Alex fell back, lying on the ground. The city boy pulled a gun out from underneath his jacket and aimed at Alex’s head and he said “Bye, bye Alex.”
He pressed the trigger, the bullet went flying towards Alex’s head but it missed and hovered in the air, Alex said “Hello Jack, it’s about time you showed up.”
Behind the city boy, Jack was stood holding out his hand and smiling. The city boy cowered away then started to run.
“You're not getting away that easily.” said Jack all cocky like. All of a sudden the bullet turned around to face the running city boy and as Jack lowered his hand; the bullet went flying through the air, hitting the city boy’s leg.
“Cheers bro.” said Alex still lying down. Jack walked to him and kicked him, “What are you thinking?? You could have been killed! You’re only fifteen you shouldn’t be stabbing people in the shoulder and you need to stop picking fights that you won’t win.”
“I didn’t pick a fight, they dissed our family.” said Alex.
“So you decided to take them all on? What would Alice think when she saw her tw...”
Suddenly time froze; a black hole appeared behind Jack and started sucking everything up. Alex could see it but he couldn’t move or shout to anyone, he was frozen, everyone was. Then he could feel himself lifting off the ground and he started to fly into the black hole.
