A Great Discovery

by Nicholas Ton

shocked. Alan fell down and started trying to get up. We got up and took the stunning staffs. The four of us were armed and we threw the final alien down the stairs, which was the big one.

  There was a lever that was labeled release and we noticed that there were a lot of aliens down there that looked like convicts.

  Max whispered to us “If we let all of these aliens out they might start a riot for revenge of those who sealed them here and give us the distraction we need to get out. Should we pull the lever?”

  I answered “Yes, we should that distraction will be very useful.”

  I pull the lever and an alarmed sounded. All the aliens came rushing up the stairs, so we hid behind a wall. We hid so they wouldn’t notice us. A bunch of aliens ran up the stairs ready to fight. The double doors that lead to the throne room was yanked open. I heard guards yelling and fights starting. We ran to the entrance of the dungeon and I crept to the edge to see what was happening. There was an all out war out there, everyone had their own opponent.

  I signaled for us to go, I tried to remember the way out and finally I remembered.

  I ran down the hallway to the exit. I saw a guard up ahead heading after me and one of the prisoners came and started wailing on him.

  We ran down and while we were running, I saw a room with fancy things with electricity shooting out everywhere.

  I said “Wait I see something, it looks interesting, maybe we should take it with us. I don’t know for sure but I haven’t seen anything like this in any of our tech rooms. Let’s go check this thing out.”

  I ran into the room with my men behind me. The room had a small metal sphere that was changing forms with electricity coming from it and it was also glowing a green light from it. It was being held in a glass case with many thick tubes hooked up to it pumping stuff in. There was a lever on the case but I pressed the shutdown button next to it first.

  The tubes stopped pumping things into it but the sphere was still intact. I looked for a box that I could put it in and there was a biohazard box. I got the biohazard box in one hand, opened the case by pulling the latch, got the ball and put into the case. I locked the case and gave it to Mark.

  I said “Mark hold this, drop the weapon so you can move quicker.”

  We easily escaped since the castle was under attack of the prisoners. We all got into the shuttle and Max jumped into the front seat. There was still a driver in it.

  Max yelled “Get to our ship right now or I’ll kill you!”

  The driver drove as fast as he could and he activated light speed mode, but this time we were able to keep our balance and we didn’t fall down. We were at our ship in an instant. We got out of the shuttle and ran towards our ship. More shuttles came but they were police shuttles and aliens came out and they started racing after us.

  Alan, Mark and I made it but Max was just standing back there.

  I yelled “Max come on, we have to get out of here right now!”

  Max yelled “No, go, I’ll hold these aliens off, go now before my lost is worth nothing!”

  I yelled “No I can’t just leave you here, they’ll kill you!”

  Mark said “This is what he wants, we have to respect his wishes.”

  Alan and I nodded our heads, sighed, and agreed to let him stay, Alan closed the door. We saw through the glass window that Max was overwhelmed, being ripped to shreds. We started running towards the cockpit.

  We heard bangs down there but they couldn’t get in. We turned on auto pilot and we started to blast off but the door at the bottom broke in. The aliens got in and they all started climbing up the ladder. Mark got into the co-captains seat and Alan went to the ladder and held his staff up high.

  One of the aliens came up, Alan smacked him on the head and he fell down creating a chain reaction of aliens falling down.

  I said “I’m going to get rid of the bottom layer.”

  Then I pushed the lever next to me. The extra weight fell off, the ladder broke off, the metal door closed and that area is closed up and no one could get up. The ship was running out of fuel and it was low on energy.

  I yelled “We won’t make it, we’re doomed to the fate of God, there’s no way we can get out of this. We have no fuel to get out of here!”

  The biohazard box that Mark was holding opened up and the sphere floated up, and the electricity sparked at the system. The sphere went back into the box. The system was filled with energy that was stronger and better than any of our other energy sources. The fuel ran out slower and stronger. Mark ran into his seat and buckled up. The rocket all of a sudden went extremely fast. My face felt like all my skin was going to rip off.

  The shuttle said in a robotic voice “Time until destination, one minute.”

  I couldn’t even open my eyes from the force. After what felt like hours the rocket stopped it the blast off zone.

  We slipped out of the belt from the force and flew into the walls. We all groaned from the pain. Mark dropped the box while he flew. I pressed the emergency call button.

  The president of NASA answered “Do you have any idea what you did! You won’t be working here anymore!”

  Alan yelled “I don’t care, just come help us, AHHHHHH, the pain!”

  NASA’s president said “We’re coming to help you, just sit still.”

  Mark said “We don’t have much more of a choice.”

  People ran down after the ship, I tried to hold on but my eyes just closed and I passed out. Again I had no dreams just that black abyss.

  I woke up and I felt sick, but I was okay. I woke up in my room, with my suit still on.

  Alan was sitting above me and when he saw me wake up, he said “Good, your ok lets go.”

  I slowly got up off my bed and followed him. We left my room and started going towards the master control room.

  The technician, Mark, the puny man who was a scientist, the president of NASA, and now Alan and I are here.

  The president asked “Where’s Max wasn’t he on the ship with you?”

  Alan looked away quickly with his eyes closed, he answered “Max didn’t make it, there were hostile aliens on that planet. Max sacrificed his life to save us. If you don’t believe us, just look at the box Mark had and the weapons we had.”

  The technician was about to talk but the president stopped him and said “You are a fool, you don’t deserve to talk. But I do believe you from the evidence you have.”

  The scientist held up the case and said “I’ll do some tests on this sphere here.”

  I said “That sphere might be some kind of energy source because while we were on that planet the ship was low on fuel but that thing fueled the shuttle all the way to full.”

  The scientist said “I’ll test this substance and I’ll try to see its base chemicals are, and if that doesn’t work I’ll just have to test it out some more.”

  I said “I need some more rest I’m getting tired.”

  I started back to my room and Alan helps me back to my bed. I took off my helmet and suit. Now I’m in my undershirt and comfortable pants, I went right to sleep.

  What is wrong with me why won’t I get any dreams? It’s just nothing but blackness and more blackness. I was woken up again, I open my eyes to see the scientist with a giant smile from ear to ear.

  He happily said “This thing is a very good energy source this is about twenty times stronger than nuclear energy and I have even made some copies that work just fine!”

  I look down at my hands and said “So I guess it was a good thing I went and got this thing when I saw it on the planet.”

  I smile at myself and praised myself for what I’ve done.

  I looked at the scientist and he said “This was one small mission for man and a revolution for mankind.”
