THE JOURNEY TO VLOCK
By Nathaniel J

CHAPTER 1

THE CALL

Space. Bright white stars all around the pitch black sky with different planets around one small ship heading towards a huge space station. Once the small ship was inside the landing zone, the cockpit opened.

Then out stepped the pilot of the small ship, and he smiled a small smile saying to his crew, "Well, the meeting was a success."

"Hooray!" the crew shouted. Ring Ring!

"Oh, that must be my space phone in my office," Alfred McFarlen said. "Excuse me, please." And he walked off to his office. As soon as Alfred was in his office, he dashed over to his desk where his space phone was. Then he picked up the phone saying, "Hello, Alfred McFarlen speaking."

"Hello, Alfred McFarlen speaking. The reason I called you today was because I am in terrible trouble. I need you to come to Vlock, my home planet. When you get there, if you go east for about 200 kilometers, there you will find my lunar base. Please hurry Alfred Mc- wait, no, please, have mercy, wait, NOOO!!!!" Then the phone went dead. Alfred looked worried & scared. What can I do? Alfred thought. He was worrying about all kinds of things. Where was Vlock? Who was that person that called him? How can he trust her? How does he know that this is not a trick? I must admit Alfred has had a LOT of tricks over the years. 154, to be exact. Still in his space suit, Alfred went back to his ship and told his crew, "I have to go Vlock and try and find a secret lunar base. Richard, I'm putting you in charge. Please don't let anybody out of your sight." "I won't, sir." Said Richard Tramp (Crew member #1). "Thank you, Richard. Now, quick march!" And within a swift second, the crew marched off, with Richard leading the way. And with that, Alfred got into the cockpit of his ship, and flew off into the distance, leaving nothing but a trail of smoke in his wake.

CHAPTER 2

THE START OF THE JOURNEY

Flying all the way across the galaxy is hard work, don't you think? Nope, not for Alfred it isn't. He's done this 590 times (including this one)! The suit that Alfred was wearing was really, really, REALLY heavy and quite helpful. It had all the essentials: an oxygen tank, a straw that had water running through it, a heat machine (for when space gets really, really cold, you know), a food claw (with a microphone included for ordering your food and stuff), and a map of space (with a navigator).

CHAPTER 3

The Exterminator

BANG!!! Another space control centre from the Savers down. And Death Exterminator was only two steps away from taking over the universe. He watched from his spaceship with an evil sneer on his face. Death Exterminator isn't really the kind of bad guy you would expect him to be. You'd think him to be like the person who wants to take over the world, but he just wants to be happy? That there really is good inside him? Nope. Actually, Death Exterminator is the exact opposite to what you would think him to be. He is the kind of bad guy who was born evil. What I mean about 'born evil' is like he was playing with nuclear bombs when he was like 4 months old. Then the door slid open. “What is it?” he growled.

“Sir, we have a problem,” the crew member whimpered. “The last space station we must destroy, well, the captain of the space station has set off on a quest.”

“Well then, why don’t you find out what the quest is about? So we can get there first and outrun him and ambush him?”

"W... w... we can't, sir." stammered the crew member.

"Why not?" he grumbled.

"Because the entire control centre is covered with protection," said the crew member. "You see, the entire space station is tracking the captain and following his every move."

"DID YOU FORGET THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE?!!!!!" he roared. The crew member cowered in fright. "NEVER SAY NO TO DEATH EXTERMINATOR!!!!!!!!!!!" And with that, he grabbed his knife and stabbed the crew member with all his might. Blood splattered everywhere. Thomas Enter was no more.

"That was invigorating," Death Exterminator said. The reason why he was invigorated was because he had thought of an evil plan. And that plan, oh, it was the most evilest plan in the entire universe.

CHAPTER 4

Vlock

Now that Alfred was in his ship, he brought up a map that showed what direction Vlock was in and how to get there. The map told him that from where he was now he was 2,579 kilometres away from Vlock. "Wow!" he exclaimed "That is a long way away." The reason he thought 2,579 kilometres is a long way away is because 2, 579 kilometres in space was approximately 9,999 kilometres down on earth.

72 hours later...............

"Finally!" Alfred exclaimed. "It has been three days since I left my space station and now I'm here, at Vlock." It is true. Alfred is now at Vlock in the landing zone. "Now all I have to do is find that lunar base." he said. And he headed off in the direction that the person on the phone told him, east.

CHAPTER 5

The Operation

"OFFICER?!!!!!!!!!!!!" Death Exterminator roared. The officer scrambled into his office.

"Yes sir?" asked the officer.

"I want a makeover."

"As you wish, sir."

"I will put in the orders in 5 minutes."

"Okay, sir."

"And make sure it will make me the most diabolical, unstoppable and evil villain ever created."

"I will, sir."

"Good. NOW GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The officer scrambled out of his office as quickly as he could, so he wouldn't get in trouble.

"MWAH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!!!!!!!!!" he boomed.

5 minutes later

It was just after midnight, and Death Exterminator was lying on what looked like a huge hospital bed, yet there was no hospitality. Robots were giving him some "medical attention". Death Exterminator grunted and groaned in pain as the robots were replacing parts of his body with mechanical pieces that would make him invincible (as he said five minutes earlier). About fifteen minutes later, it was done. He was now the most powerful, most unstoppable, most diabolical person in the entire galaxy.

"No one can stop me now! MWAH HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

CHAPTER 6

The Interruption

CRASH!!!!!!! BOOOOOMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!! The landing for Alfred didn't go quite as planned. The good news: he survived. The bad news: he was stranded on Vlock. Suddenly, there was a deafening boom! Alfred swayed on the spot for a moment, then he fell straight onto his face. Then out of the dust, Death Exterminator picked up Alfred and started strangling him.
"So, Death Exterminator, my oldest friend, has now turned evil and is strangling me right at this very moment?"

"Yes, Alfred, also my oldest friend" he sneered. Alfred scowled. Now Alfred's face was turning blue. Death Exterminator threw him across the pathway. Alfred lay down, as weak as a zombie.

CHAPTER 7

An Important Discovery

With all of Alfred's strength, he managed to duck quickly behind a wall that belonged to a bar.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are, Alfred." Death Exterminator sneered. Alfred had two choices: he could either reveal his position, or he could wait until Death Exterminator finds him and kills him. Neither were good. Then a sheet of paper flew in front of him and then he heard Death Exterminator roar "Where is my plan to destroy the entire universe?!" Alfred picked up the piece of paper and started reading it.

Find Vlock (tick)

Destroy anything that gets in my way (tick)

Find super serum on Vlock (still to do)

Now that Alfred knew Death Exterminator's evil plan, he could defeat him. But just then, Death Exterminator stepped right in front of Alfred. He picked up the piece of paper and scrunched it up with his mighty metallic hand. Then he put that hand straight in front of Alfred's face and said "Prepare to be disintegrated." This is the end, Alfred thought.

CHAPTER 8

The End Of Death Exterminator

The heat from the disintegrator on Death Exterminator's hand was getting hotter by the second and Alfred was only a few seconds away from being disintegrated forever. But quickly, Alfred pushed himself out of the way, and just in time too, because: ZAP!!!!!!!!! Death Exterminator had just used his disintegrator on the ground. Then Alfred had an idea: if he went inside the bar he was hiding behind, there was a good chance that the serum was in there. So Alfred ducked inside the bar and luckily enough, it was! Alfred quickly grabbed the bottle and chugged it down as quickly as he could. Then he replaced the serum with a bottle that was almost identical. There was just a smudge of wine on it but Alfred thought no one would notice. Then he rushed out of the bar and ran straight into Death Exterminator. Alfred said "I just drank the serum that you wanted and now, I'm going to destroy you."

"No you will not." Death Exterminator sneered.

"Oh, yes I will." said Alfred in a sing-songy voice. And with that, Alfred started strangling him and then threw him into the air and disintegrated him with his mouth. Death Exterminator was no more. Now that he had superpowers, Alfred flew into the air and back into space. Then he flew back to his space station. That was a good adventure, Alfred thought.
