Breakfast is Ready! (A short tale with no lore significance for once.)

Deep in the depths of a frozen planet called Plutonithia Beta, in the morning, a Carcer silently sits in a cave on a rock, watching its children while they ravenously devour a large bird that has died from the cold. An eerie and unearthly screech echoed through the chamber, followed by angry roars and a sickening crunch. A second Carcer is very bloodthirsty. It sinks its gleaming teeth into a fresh carcass. The Carcer´s white fur is stained blood red. The Carcer is very large and has sharp claws. It is built to survive in the harsh, frigid, sub zero climates of Plutonithia Beta. It has human-like anatomy and powerful muscles. Underneath the shaggy fur is a thick layer of blubber. It has two short tusks extending forward from the sides of the head. The Carcers have no scent, not counting what they eat. The monster’s head possesses a brain of incredible dimensions. The Carcer is also very nimble and good at turning. Sadly, it is not very smart. However, they can communicate with humans, and usually ignore them. However, that day was different. The Carcer dug a new tunnel upwards, and presently… Out popped the Carcer’s head into the floor of a base. The monster looked around. He had made a hole in the icy wall. The icicles spiraled down from the ceiling. The floor was spotless. The humming of droids filled the hanger bay. The Carcer high-fived a human and slid down to another floor. The humans weren’t very surprised about it… until the monster lumbered over to the fridge and drank a whole gallon of coffee. Carcers are very reactive to even a tiny bit of sweet, sweet sugar. It can make Carcers very crazy and wild. There was a bit too much sugar… way too much. He started running around like a madman and presently dashed out the door. ¨This hot cocoa is like a pool of sugar. It is so good… Ahhh,¨ said the people outside, enjoying a cup of cocoa. Very bad idea. The Carcer´s ears perked up, and the Carcer raced toward the sound that mentioned sugar. Then the people outside screamed, ¨AHH!!! A monster´s outside! My sweet cocoa!¨. The alarm started wailing to announce an enemy attack. The Carcer saw its chance. It snatched two young humans and leaped into a hole, disappearing. Outside, a war was brewing. Bombs pounded the ground. Loud rumbles shook the base. Everyone who wasn´t down on the floor fell down. Some didn’t bother getting back up, or couldn´t, because a row of laser bolts melted a few things, like a pair of shoes, a nice-looking Ferrari, an engine, a certain spaceship, some people, some very expensive things, and somebody´s cup of cocoa. A few things blew up, vaporized, or exploded. Everyone ran for their lives. They jumped in their spaceships and flew away. There was no way anybody remembered the Carcers. Underground, the humans screamed for their lives as the Carcers licked their lips. Sadly, nobody answered their calls for help, as every human had flown away, and the Carcer and their family had a good dinner. The humans might never come here again for vacation. It was too cold, anyway, and the price wasn’t worth it anymore. The evil government wouldn’t let you in. I think the Carcers were very, very happy with this new state of life. Well, there wouldn’t be the occasional person who fell through a hole and became Carcer chow anymore, but otherwise, it was fine. The popularity rate of the planet dropped to zero. The Carcer´s were free to eat all they wanted with no restrictions! The Carcer population exploded. Then suddenly, the planet started to melt from a volcano. Grass began to grow. The Carcers became sluggish and tired. They could only pant and sweat. Soon their fur changed to brown, and the Carcers became omnivores. Just as they adapted to their new habitat… The Carcers were captured by the space police, and nobody saw the monsters again. The space police was actually the MANCM in disguise…

Lost to a Wolf and a Dog

(The technical origin of why Bagel and Falco exist, along with any dogs Ethan and Co. may own)

“Wow! It’s so amazing! Nature is pretty nice!” I said as we watched the waterfall with wide eyes.  As we looked around, I heard grandma say that she is having fun. The date is sometime on June 15, 2016. This year, my mom, Aunt Catherine, my dad, grandpa, grandma, and I have gone to Yellowstone, Wyoming. The trip has been good so far, like living in a small brown log cabin. We are hiking in the large forest, surrounded by enormous trees and bushes, looking at a large waterfall. I see a rainbow inside the waterfall. We thought it was getting dark, so we pitched a large red tent. Mom remarked, “This is fun!” I exclaimed, as we ate dinner. Soon it got very dark. Two hours had passed. We went outside to look at the stars. The stars looked like glittering diamonds in the night sky. I thought it was incredible. We happily sat on the cool grass. All of a sudden Dad heard a noise. The noise of paws stepping on mud. Soon, all of us heard the noise. I screamed, ”What is happening?” as everybody huddles together in fear. I started to shiver, and a cold feeling ran down my spine. I thought, “This is very bad, what will we do?” We all thought we would see the worst as the sounds grew louder. Soon, I realized that we would have to see the creature-and face it. I just hoped I would be safe. As we waited, my heart leaped into my throat. We rushed into the tent, zipped up the door, and put everything in the entrance. I held my breath as the sound grew louder. It felt like hours as we waited for the creature to come out. Then we heard something that shocked us-the bark of a little dog. Finally, from inside the tent, we saw the bushes part to show a wolf and a puppy. They walked around our tent and looked for food. I almost screamed, so I bit my lips. I looked around and saw my grandfather’s face, as pale as a ghost. I was thinking of how to make the wolf go away. My brain suddenly pings. I had a great idea. I opened the bag that holds our food as quiet as a mouse. I took out a small piece of ham that had expired, and I grabbed a cardboard sword. Then I ran outside and screamed, “Eat this!” while waving the sword and throwing the ham before anyone stopped me. The wolf ran far away. I believe that I saw him stop, pick up the little red piece of ham, stare into my eyes, and then bound away. Then I dropped what I was holding, and scooped the puppy into my arms before he ran away. I then looked at my parents, whose smiles were as wide as Wyoming. We all laughed. And then the puppy yipped as though he was laughing. We were lucky not to be eaten. (Or have our food eaten!) I named the puppy “Wolf” to remember his foster parent. Ever since we met we have loved each other. I had lots of fun that night.

The Stranger

If you like haunted houses, then this story is for you. Then maybe you won’t be silly enough to follow the stranger that comes up the street, unlike the children who sent me this. So listen to this recording and learn their story… (P.S. the speakers in the story are six years older.)

Jack- Hello, my name is Jack. The year is 3000 (actually 2746, as the year is 3000 minus 250, which is 2750, minus another 4 years, and you get 2746) in space and the year 3546 on planet Earth. I live in space on the newest colony, colony number 50. I know, you’re probably like: Oh come on! Boring boring boring. Blah blah blah. We want scary things!” Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you mean. But anyways, I am 12 years old right now. I dressed up as Optimus Prime. In the costume was stored a light up sword. This is what (actually, somehow) happened on Halloween when we were trick-or-treating… While running through the streets of the old colony, station 1 with our Trick-or-Treat brigade- which was formed 10 minutes ago, amidst hordes of little flying wizards and gnomes on flying brooms, I saw an old stranger dropping candy out of a wagon. “Hey Nia! Hey, Penny! I see an old stranger! He’s dropping candy! Let’s follow him!” After breaking off from the group, we (Nia, Penny, and I) followed him inside a scary-looking house with brown drapes, graffiti, and white marks all over the place. (Bad idea, huh?) Then he locked the door and turned into a werewolf with silver fur and white fangs. (Crazy, right? RIGHT???) I named the werewolf Rumble. Then all the candy blew up and turned into big, long, ugly worms which then got themselves tied in a knot and blew up, raining candy everywhere. “Ahh!!!” I screamed as I ran down a narrow dark tunnel with Penny right behind me. 5-year old Nia, who was in my arms- don’t ask me why- was just sleeping (Just how, Nia, HOW??? What was wrong with you??? Sometimes your jokes are not funny at all!) Oh, and the other girl, 4-year old Penny was- combing her hair while running- Argh! Focus on that little exit, sleepy-heads! Penny, you’re going to trip over! (Penny and Nia didn’t yell at me, so I guess I did fine talking about them. And there’s that pinch I expected from Nia. Ow. Ouch! Now Penny pinched me!) “That monster’s right behind us!” I yelled to Penny, “What do we do, Penny! That werewolf’s right behind us! Uh oh, I see a dead end!” Then Penny stopped, said, “No worries!”, turned around, and threw a pencil into the werewolf’s open mouth. Then he popped. Yes, he popped. (Or did he blow up?) Green goo splattered all over the floor. Then it vanished. Now I’ll hand the microphone to Nia. Or rather, she TAKES it from me! NIA!!! Nia!!! I’m telling Mom! Or maybe I should get some slime that Nia hates… Hehehehe… Yay!)

Nia- On that happy note, Jack hands me the microphone. At least he knows when to pass the microphone. (Yes, thanks, Jack. Why are you so grumpy? Oh, yes, sorry.) So, anyways, I leaned on the wall, and then the wall opened to show an old man sitting at a rickety desk. He asked us, “ Did the werewolf trap you all in here? After we nod, he turned into a huge octopus and stretched eight long arms toward Penny and I. (Jack called the monster “Octy”. Weird name.) Suddenly, Jack jumped on the monster’s head with a light-up sword and chopped it off a body that turned into sand. I thought I saw the pale sand glaring at me. I think I don’t want to tell you what happened next, so I’ll hand the microphone to Penny. (Stop laughing, Jack. I don’t like any slime! What… no, no, no no no! You didn’t! You couldn’t have! Impossible! You didn’t bring that just for ME! No! No! No! No! No! Help!!! No!!! No!!! NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No! No! Not the slime! I hate slime! Jack! Stop! Ayeeee!!!!!!!!!!)

Penny- After we get out of the little room, we see a baby zombie made out of-um… I don’t really know… slime? Then it leaps at me. So this time I took out a book, and the baby zombie got knocked out with one hit. (Jack says it could be a home run in baseball.) Then Dracula pops out of nowhere (I suppose he was a bat earlier) and lunges at Nia. But she takes out a flashlight and shines light at Dracula. He turned into dark obsidian stained with crimson blood. (Mega yuck. Disgusting. EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW…) After running around and fighting monsters, Jack, Nia, and I found an exit. We dash through into the open air. We fall through the air… “Oof!” We fell into a sack, and everything went black. Then we woke up to find Jack in battle with a very very UGLY pale witch. I mean, nobody likes weird green hair, broken blue glasses, ripped yellow pants and a lab coat the color of blood.)The wicked witch said, “Look at me, I found a dime, now I shall use an ingredient called Jack to make a rhyme!” Jack blurted out, “Wait, Witch, don’t know my creator is gonna bust you by writing how you were defeated by Nia?” The witch replied, “Oh, yeah, I know- Wait… What!!! Ahhh!!! Just then Nia bashes the witch on the head with a candy bag. (Seriously? A candy bag? I wouldn’t use that for defense or offense.) The witch crumpled like tinfoil under a shoe.

Jack- I found something called a jackhammer. Turns monsters into monster-pancakes. (Sorry, these monster-pancakes are inedible.) Awesome, right? (Mom hates it.) I used the jackhammer to distract an ice giant long enough for Nia to sprinkle salt all over the ice giant and melt him. I also used my jackhammer to pulverize (to smash) some tiny monsters and give others extreme foot pain. We just ran around bashing monsters. One time, we tricked a mummy into falling into a cauldron (a large pot). Soon, we found the real exit. We rushed through the exit and ran to the teleportation booth to travel home. We sighed with relief as we materialized back at home. Turns out, we were gone for 20 minutes! Everyone was so happy. So now you know- don’t follow any strangers- even if they do happen to drop yummy candy!

(Jack will return. He had a vision of what he had to do later, and it was actually very vital…)

Trainformers – At The Gear’s Edge

Nick walked into a small dark shed. He walked down the stairs of a dark corridor. This was where the map told him to go. Then he saw the giant robot. The giant robot said in a monotone voice, “Who dares enter my hideout?” “I am Nick Skipper Speed, but everyone calls me Skippy. Who are you? Are you like Thomas the train?”” Nick asks. The robot answers, “Hahaha- but -umm, no- not exactly. He is my cousin-” Nick laughs, “Hahahaha!” The giant robot says, “Silence! I will tell you my name later. But first I must tell you a story…” In Chugtown, many years before, in the year 3000 in the Z dimension, the cartoon universe… “Why does everyone like trains? Nobody cares about some silly old trains. Transformers toys are cooler.” Fin grumbles. He was at the train museum. His sister, Sarah replied, “Well, Maybe you should look at the history of-” “Hey sis, look at this!” five year old Fin exclaims as he cuts his sister off. His sister, Sarah runs over and gasps. A large symbol on the floor starts to glow and opens up an enormous hole in the ground. It leads to an enormous chamber. Treasures cover the floor like a mat. Then there is a LOUD crash, and the enormous black head of Trainacon looks at a terrified Fin and a screaming Sarah. Then Trainacon lifts one huge foot and prepares to squash two terrified children… “Choo Choo!” Trainacon turns to see 3 four-car trains speeding through the air. Trainacon fires lasers towards the trains. The lasers all missed their targets. Shiner, Spinner, and Speeder merged into the hulking form of the very clever Computrain. He says, “ Must save children by tripping Trainacon.” Computrain did what he said, and the evil Trainacon went smashing into the ground. Then, seeing that he was defeated, Trainacon turned into a huge spaceship and flew away. Then Computrain said, “Come.” We must go to Cybertrain. IN STYLE.” Then Computrain turned into 3 luxury trains. Before Fin could protest and say, “ Wait! You can’t just take me somewhere else! I gotta eat lunch!”, Omono Surtrain, the big red rocket landed and allowed Fin, Sarah, and Computrain to climb onboard with the treasure. (The whole room.) Then he teleported to Cybertrain. While they were teleporting, Computrain explained, “The evil Deceptatrains are conquering the universe. Now the Autotrains are doing anything they can to stop the Deceptatrains, no matter the cost. Because one sacrifice could save a hundred beings in the future. Once your town’s mayor helped us save our world from the Quicktissons. His name was Jack Skipper Speed. He died at age 26 on another planet activating the bomb that would shut destroy the Quicktissons, but he earned a medal for saving thousands of lives. It was the only way.” Fin gasped, “Jack Skipper Speed… I heard that name somewhere… Wait! That is my great great great grandfather’s name!” Sarah just kept eating her noodles that Computrain found at the train museum in awe. Fin sat on the red velvet couch devouring crunchy crackers in amazement. When they got to Cybertrain, they saw battle in the air everywhere. Red lasers flew through the air. Explosions littered the air, illuminating the sky. Omono Surtrain transformed, unloaded the room, and started swatting some very scared Deceptatrains out of the air like flies with his arms. “PEW pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew!” Autotrains were chugging around, running and firing lasers at the Deceptatrains to defeat them. In the distance, Chugtimus Prime fought Megatrain with a plasma ax. The Deceptatrains fired fireballs at the Autotrains. Metrotrain was battling Trainacon. There was battle everywhere. When Omono Surtrain opened the gate to the center of Cybertrain, Fin and Sarah delivered the treasures to the core of Cybertrain with Computrain. Computrain put the room in place, and the 4 alpha keys activated. The room rumbled. The deep voice of Cybertrain said, “Thank you for reactivating me. You have done me a great favor.” Fin stuttered, “You’re – welcome, Cybertrain.”, barely believing he was speaking to a giant planet. The Autotrains were losing. “ROAR!” The Dinotrains charged forward, defeating the Deceptatrains. Then the Deceptatrains flew away in fear with Megatrain screaming, “You’ll regret this!” Fin said, “Nah. I feel pretty good.” Then Cybertrain transformed into Trainus. Chugtimus Prime exclaimed, “Thanks!” Then we heard Unicrane say, “I will eat you.” Then he drew his sword and flew toward Trainus, who drew a spear. There was going to be a BIG battle! While Unicrane fought Trainus, Fin had a very dangerous plan. He flew into Unicrane’s enormous ugly green body through a hole in his leg and used a red spacesuit and a little blue jetpack to avoid Megatrain’s lasers. Then he hit the off switch for Unicrane. Unicrane screamed, “No!” But it was too late. Unicrane and the Deceptatrains blew up and Fin heard, “KRA-BOOM!” Fin flew away just in time. When he got back to Cybertrain, everyone celebrated and played tag. Then Fin and Sarah went home to have another party. They played tag, ate yummy pepperoni pizza , and drank Fanta soda with his friends. Fin learned to never underestimate things. They may just change your life in strange and amazing ways. Nick said, “Wow, great story. But who are you? Megatrain? Chugtimus Prime?” The giant robot said, “I am Megatrain the conqueror no more. Now I am Galvatrain the destroyer. And I am upgraded way more. I brought some friends too.” And 1,000,000,000 Deceptatrains walked out of the shadows. Nick said, “Here’s what I have to say to that…. Ahhhhh!” Galvatrain laughed, “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I will destroy you!” Then Nick scrambled out of the shed as fast as he could for his life as 1,000,000,000 Deceptatrains chugged right behind him, destroying everything in sight. Meanwhile, back on Cybertrain, Chugtimus Prime looked at the footage of Galvatrain and the Deceptatrains chasing a screaming Nick, other people crying, dogs barking, and things blowing up. Then Chugtimus Prime announced to the Autotrains, “The rails have changed. But it’s time to return the favor to the humans that have helped us. It is time to kick some rusty old wheels. It is time to save the world again…” The air was filled with the sound of Autotrains transforming, gearing up for action.

“Autotrains, Chug out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

(For context, Beamscape is actually a renamed Cybertrain in the far future. Yes, this caused slight continuity errors since it would be before the universe was made, but in reality, it was an alternate universe that was merged with the Multiverse of Lore, so everything is fine again.)
