Than chris went under water and he had a fight with the alligator and then chris, nic and hayden went to the cave and the melon people were gone but chris and nic were not there yet and hayden yelled “no”!!!!! So chris and nic hurried to the cave and it was empty. Then they check the cell that held the evil kid but he was still there. Chris asked him what happened and he said when you guys left a monster came into the cave and captured everybody and he said he could free me but I knew I should stay here but the thing is he destroyed the king and queen.

Hayden replied that he put it right were the old oil plant was until we discovered a new energy source and chris said well I saw that there was a section of the bay that a green glowing substance and chris realized that it was radiation. So they all ran down to the docks and chris transformed into a fish and swam down to the spot and looked down at the ocean floor and saw skeletons of fish, birds and all sorts of creatures and then chris signaled that it was the spot. So they went back to the coast guard telling them that the bay near the old oil plant is contaminated with toxins. So while the coast guard was taking care of that they had to gear up so they went back to the house. They geared up and now chris was known as animungi and he had his electric blue uniform and Hayden is known as melon man and his green and red watermelon uniform appeared and nick is known as the cycic and a orange uniform appeared and they were known as the mighty melons. So first chris opened up the secret lair in chris’s closet and checked the towns surveillance systems and looked for footage of where it might be. Then finally they found where it was it was just heading for the cave lets go. So they ran down into the cave and blocked the entrance of the cave so it couldn’t get out. To be continued…

The Mysterious Watermelons

There once was a group of people. There was three people in the group and their names where Nicholas, Hayden and Chris. They each made up their own nicknames. Nick’s was Water Warrior, Hayden was melon man, and Chris was water ninja . They were the Mighty Melons.Then one day they all went to school but on their way to school they saw a watermelon. They walked up to it and then saw more and more. Nick said “I think its a path ”Then they followed the watermelons and ran into a cave and found a huge village with houses made of fruit. Then
while Hayden and chris were looking around nick went to meet the people but the people turned out to be WATERMELONS. Nick was so scared when he saw them he ran to hayden and chris. When he told them about the melon people and Hayden worked up the guts to go and meet them. When Hayden walked up to the village and the people appeared to be quite cute. The watermelons seemed to talk a different language but hayden seemed to kind of understand their language. He said it sounded like pig latin but a little different. When the watermelon said ihtay which meant hi in their language. Then all of a sudden the earth started to shake and the watermelons homes started collapsing. After the earthquake happened Chris Nick and Hayden went on cleanup duty to have a snack and help but mainly they were hungry so they ate the broken houses to make room for new ones. But then a minute or two they had to go home because they had to go to sleep. So the next day they went to the supermarket to buy a lot of fruit so the melon people can rebuild their homes and they will be even better.

It was the day before the Chicago fire. I was moving to Chicago and I could not wait. We were traveling by train. Once we were there it was dark so we went to are new home. First we unpacked all of our stuff. Then we all got into our beds and went to sleep. Then about at 9:00pm I was awakened by alarms. I heard loud firetrucks people were loudly yelling FIRE FIRE. People were screaming HELP! Firemen quickly fled to the huge fire. I was regretting coming to chicago. The I heard my parents yelling WILL come here! So I quickly ran to them and they said we need to get out of the house. So we ran to the door but the door was blocked by these heavy pieces of wood that had been pickup by the strong wind and carried to our house.
We tried pushing as hard as we could, but it wouldn’t budge. So then we broke throw the glass window. Firemen helped us get past the burning wood. Then they asked us if we were ok we all said yes. Then they took us to the train that we were on to take us to Chicago. And soon enough we were back at our old home.
