First crappy story

When my dream came real

Ch. 1- Izzy
Yes, it started out like any other day, but Izzy didn`t know what was up for her. She walked to school on September 23rd, 2008. “Hmm… what should I do after school today?” thought Izzy. Through the steps to school, (Izzy counted 345 steps, on average) she was thinking about the possibilities of that. 1st, 2nd and 3rd period passed. (Izzy is in 6th grade) Then it was lunchtime. But for some reason, she wasn`t hungry (She probably had too much for breakfast); so she sneaked out of school. Izzy is cute and mischievous. She could ‘puppy-eye’ her way out of anything. She went over to Grovington Park. Then she saw something glowing in the pond. (It is very small and has only 3 fish.) Had one of the fish taken on bioluminescence? She went over. It wasn’t a fish. It was this irresistibly pretty object about the size of a tennis ball. She was so intrigued by the object, she took it home. But her school found out that Izzy sneaked out of school grounds, and she got sent to juvie. Just kidding. (Remember? She could puppy-eye her way out of anything). She called the object ‘storm’ because of its resemblance to ball lightning. That night she slept next to ‘storm’ and used it as a night light. Then she drifted off to sleep. As soon as she entered her dream land- A big storm hits a mountain of 7 super heroes. 6 of the people can sort of fly, but only one capable of true flight. A crystal that looks like ‘storm’ but is green appears. Then all of a sudden Izzy heard a big boom. She woke up. Everything was fuzzy and the air was electrically charged. The air cleared out. And there, were the 7 characters from her dream. Then she fainted.
Ch. 2- The gang
Izzy awoke with a rush of water, noticing the air was still electrically charged, but now also hot. The 7 of them introduced themselves. The boy in a green outfit, said he was Earth Boy, EB for short, that he was 9 and controlled plants. He had curly black hair, about 3 inches long. His real name was Paul. Then this spiky haired kid came up, and said “I’m the one who doused you with water.” His hair was jet black. And he was this little midget kid who was 12 years. He controlled water. He was Water Boy, WB for short. His real name was Aaron. Then this Korean kid came up, he was 16. He was wearing a brown outfit, but unlike the others, was wearing a black belt. A karate black belt. He is Rockboy, RB for short. He said he controls rock, and is a master at martial arts. He is a 10th degree black belt. He also had black hair that was spiky, but not as spiky as WB. His real name is Jong Khu Lee. Next a girl in a red outfit stepped up. Her name is Firegirl, FG for short, and she controls lava/fire. She is this little 5 year old. She has pink hair. It probably was 5 inches. Her real name is Maryll. Then came a girl who was wearing a black outfit. It had a yellow circle in it. She was Solar Girl, SG for short. She was a red-head, with long hair and freckles. She controlled solar energy. She was 13. Her real name is Sonya. Then came this really tall girl, whose name is Elastigirl, EG for short. She is very stretchy. She is 21. She has yellow-gold-brown hair. She wears a yellow outfit. Then out of nowhere, a black figure appeared. This one had bat wings. His name was bat boy, BB for short. He is nocturnal, like a bat, and echolocates. He is 18, and also has spiky hair, that is extremely pointy. His power is radar, and he is the only one of the group capable of true flight.
Ch. 3- Why are you here?
“Aren’t bats more like sonar, but they use the Doppler effect?” asked Izzy. EG replied “Yes, but it’s a superpower. Anything is possible.” “Why are you here?” asked Izzy, now getting dizzy due to the charged, hot air. All of a sudden this bright flash was there. It showed pictures of this mountain, next to a huge black cloud. On the mountain, there was this cave. And in the cave there was this crystal. Just like in her dream. Just like ‘storm’ except it was green. EG explained “Deeper in there, is our lair. The storm that is coming is no ordinary storm. BB will take it from here and explain the storm.” BB stepped up and said in a surprisingly low voice “The storm is almost completely solid, and I’ve traced it down to one location, that is the area the storm originates. It is 3542 miles away. But it is a magic storm. Whatever it is, it is trying to get to our lair. But it is moving at a fast 250 miles a day. We’ve seen other far weaker, smaller teams go in there, but never come back. We are the final group there is, and if we don’t solve who is behind this, our world would turn evil, and it could get the crystal stolen. The crystal is a powerful object in which, keeps our powers strong. If the thing grabs it, they will become powerful, and we would become weak. Then he could overpower us and the rest of the world. So we need to get into the storm. And need protection.” Then Izzy said “Why come to me? Why come to a scrawny little girl?” BB replied “The thing you call ‘storm’. It really is a locator that looks for a person who has the strength and power, but doesn’t know how to release it. We programmed it to look for a person crazy about technology and weather, and it can only be seen by the person it has found. We can only be heard by you and our planet inhabitants. After the locator has found you, it triggers a signal to us, and we arrive by night. The locator is supposed to take form of something intriguing to a person. It is different to most everyone. It sends subliminal message to a person making them take it with them. We needed a person to protect from the fury of the storm. Not even we are immortal. For 164 years the storm has been approaching. We’ve looked all over. Generation after generation. Planet after planet. No people there the locator found. FINALLY we found you. The air is electrically charged because when you found the locator, it gave its powers to you. It only does it to the person it finds. The charge will be with you forever. You have to get used to it. You must come with us. This might take years, maybe decades to accomplish. But when we accomplish, IF we accomplish, we use this contraption that we can make you young again. First, let me scan you with it.” Izzy saw a bright beam of blue light sweep across her body. “There. Now later I can push a button that can make you this age again. Sadly, it only works on extraterrestrials. We also freeze time everywhere but our planet, so everything will remain just the way it was right now. Are you ready Izzy?” BB finished off. “Ready.” Replied Izzy eagerly. “Are you ready gang” said BB. “Ready.” They all said in unison. And they boarded the ship. “Oh. And one more thing.” Said BB. He let out a team of robots. “These will clean up the mess while we are gone.” Then they were off.
Ch.4- Off to Planet Anika
Once they went out of the Oort cloud, which then EG clicked this button. An electronic voice said “Now engaging hyper-drive”. All of a sudden we were pushed against the back wall, and they entered Planet Anika’s atmosphere. Then they crashed into a mountain. They tumbled and tumbled, on and on. Finally, they landed on a flat platform. Then EG said that this is it. They exited out of the ship. The first thing Izzy noticed was the storm that was slowly approaching them. Then she looked to the side and saw the crystal, and the lair, protected by a force field. FG disengaged it, and they went inside. Then Izzy said “Cool! This looks awesome! What does this have with it?” “First, your uniform. The last ElectroGirl used this, until something mysterious happened to her 164 years ago. We believe it had to do with the storm. You will use her set from now on.” said RB. He gave Izzy a bright blue uniform, and a belt. It was white, like the others (except RB). It had this gadget that can perform as any electronic gadget. It also has Swiss army knife functions. Then she noticed everyone else only had pagers. “Wait.” said Izzy. “If the old ElectroGirl had a pager function in her gizmo, why didn’t she page you?” “Because, the pager back then wasn’t as sophisticated than it is now. The storm blocked out the signal, when she went in, and she was destroyed, possibly. You see, all our powers have its pairs, and opposites. The storm destroys all who doesn`t have that ability, we’ve found in the recent years. Sadly, we didn’t find it out soon enough, to stop the other teams, and ElectroGirl. ElectroGirl is the head of all of the teams. Sort of like queen of the world. Now you have to take her space, until if she is alive or not.” said SG. Then WB said “Wait. Where is the locator? You brought it with you, right? Good. The locator is part of the crystal. Hold the locator next to the crystal. It will become into a fine mist and soak into the crystal.” Izzy did as he said. “We will rest for 2 nights, for Izzy to get used to herself, and practice her powers. For the next two nights, that’s just what they did. Izzy knew her powers by the starting morning, and almost completely got used to the charge. Then the search for the others began.
Ch. 4- From start to… trouble already?
EG pulled out a paper. “It is said this poem is supposed to tell a way of how to get there safely. The old ElectroGirl went to a sorcerer, who everybody thought was wicked, so they never went to her. But ElectroGirl was brave enough to go to her. She got this poem and she sent it to everyone in Planet Anika. We believe that either, it’s a fraud, or they didn`t use it properly. It is different for every person. But this is the original one. :
The nine of you must complete,
A treacherous task that must be beat.
Face the storm with no fear,
It grows closer every year.
The storm will knock out eight brave hearts
For it might tear the team apart
the storm will choose only one
who if they win the task is done.


Nine? There are only eight of us? Who cares. It is just a piece of paper. Who knows if it could be telling the truth, or lie. All we know is that if we don’t stop ‘it’ in the next 5 years, (I will call it X) X will take over Anika! Let’s go team!” And off they went into… trouble?
Ch.5- The giant cloud
For the next 5 hours, they were flying with BB in the front, to guide them. EB was getting tired. “Already?” said Izzy. Then soon, WB, EG, FG, SG, BB, and Izzy started to notice too. FG said “The storm… it wants us away. Izzy gave everyone subtle shocks to wake them up. And they went on like that. That was the recessive part of the trouble. They were thirsty. So they went down to the ground where WB supplied them with water. “It is getting dark. BB, go find us some food, please?” said SG. They waited. And waited. But BB didn’t return. Then they heard a piercing scream. “BB! Nooooooooooooooo!” screamed SG. And she ran after BB. “SG! Wait! BB is right… here.” Said Izzy. Then we heard another scream. We followed it, to a spot where we saw SG trapped in a cage. “Help!” she said weakly. “LET`S GIVE THEM A BIG HAND PEOPLE!” this booming voice came. Then, from 3 miles away, from the storm a large chunk ripped away and landed in front of them. It took a form of a person, and trapped them in a cage. “CONGRAGULATIONS! YOU FOUND YOUR FRIEND! YOUR PRIZE IS… JOINING HER!” the object said.
“No!” screamed Izzy. “Take this!” A spark flew from nowhere and flew at the cloud monster. He just seemed to absorb it, and said “FOOLS! I AM PART OF A THUNDERSTORM. THAT TOO A MAGICAL ONE! NO ELECTRICITY OR WATER OR BASICALLY ANYTHING CANT HARM ME!” Izzy thought and thought about it. Then she had an idea. She quietly whispered to her teammates “Guys. If we combine our powers, we might be able to entrap him, and destroy him.” They agreed. Then all at once, Izzy sent sparks flying, EB sent vines whipping, FG sent lava flying, RB sent gravel hurling, EG grabbed a loose iron bar and sent that flying, WB sent water squirting, SG created light and shone it, and BB sent high pitched screeches, all at the cloud monster. It completely destroyed him, and exploded the cage. It sent them hurling off in different angles and directions. But they all caught their balance in mid-air and floated to one spot. They were so exhausted, and they plopped to the floor. “I think the storm will stop now since we destroyed the cloud monster.” said EB. Everyone else agreed. But they were wrong. So very wrong.
Ch. 6- Where are we…me
10 hours later, Izzy woke up and said “Guys, I think we overslept… guys… hello?” Izzy opened her eyes, and looked around. It was pitch black. She wasn’t where she was supposed to be. She felt for her special pager, and it wasn`t there. “It must have fallen off when I was flying. I can`t find it.” Izzy thought. Then Izzy heard a clatter behind her, and sent sparks flying as a defense reflex. But whatever that caused the clatter, had absorbed it. Then out of the shadows, a dim light appeared. Then she could see where she was. It was supposedly in a extremely insulated room, that was gray, and concrete. Water, that had soaked through, was dripping from the ceiling making soggy, wet puddles on the floor. There was a tiny table with a few objects and pencils. Next to it was a solid concrete door. Mildew and that mucky, yucky, slimy green fungus, was growing on the ceiling, walls, and floor. She was in an iron cage that was all rusty, and grimy. Rats were scuttling across the floor. The cage seemed to be in the middle of the floor. Then she looked at the source of the light, and saw a striking image of herself, only looking like 1 year older.
She was holding the pager. Then she spoke “ I am ELG. 164 years ago I was captured and put in here. One week later, I was so starving and weak. When I touched the metal bar, I paralyzed myself. I somehow got preserved. When a figure opened the door, the sudden noise made me lose my tight grip onto the bar, which made me alive again. I didn’t want to wake you up, because you were sound asleep, and I didn’t want to paralyze you too with my electric touch. But then I heard a noise, and heard you stirring, I let the light on. Or should I say produced an electric light. Then I saw that you were wearing the same uniform as me, so then I assumed you are the one who is filling in for me. This whole 10 hours, I refrained from touching metal. Do you have something on you to eat? I am starving.” Izzy checked her pockets and found a half eaten extra-caffeine candy bar that she ate a few days ago. She gave it to ELG, and said “Let me get this straight. You’re the first and powerful superhero on planet Anika, and you’re the ones that all teams have gone looking for you and failed? Why did they only capture you? Where are the other team members? Where are we? Who is the one responsible for it? Why…” ELG cut her off. “I don’t and didn’t know any of those questions or statements, except probably the first one. Yes I am the Emperor of Anika. We have to get out of here. After I eat this candy bar.

Ch.7- The Great Escape
ELG and Izzy thought and thought for a way out. Then Izzy got an idea. “ELG, lets combine our powers, so that we can bust this cage! Use high voltage electricity so that it can melt the iron.” said Izzy. They both sent high voltage sparks flying. The cage vaporized almost instantly. They ran to the door. Inch by inch, the door opened. “We have to find the others.” said ELG. They opened the door to a long corridor. There were two doors on either side of the corridor. ELG opened to the right, Izzy the left. Izzy opened and what she saw, she was instantly paralyzed. Her friends along with some other residents of Anika were trapped in cages. They were separated into different cages by like powers. Their cages were made of the persons’ powers weakness. For instance, the fire controlling people were in water cages, and the water controlling people were in electric cages. “What happened here!” exclaimed Izzy. Izzy ran around to check if everyone was alright. A guy from a fire cage, a leaf controller, called for help. Then Izzy hatched an idea.
“Hey! If we blast through the water cages, then maybe the fire and solar controllers can blast through the rock cages and so on!” The people looked around as if she were crazy, but they realized that was their only hope. Izzy and ELG blasted through the water cages. The fire and solar controllers melted the rock cages. The water and electric controllers came out. The water controllers doused the flame cage, letting out the leaf controllers. Finally, after a lot of blasting and escaping, Izzy and ELG had their own army to fight X.
They ran into a corridor, past ELG’s cage room, past a voluminous room, into a dead end. They walked back to the voluminous room. It was open to sky. The room seemed to be perpetual. They decided to turn back, saying there was nothing much in this room. But where the entrance used to be was a solid wall. ‘What is this place?” a team member exclaimed. They started to walk. Then, Izzy exclaimed “Ok. We need to split up. My original team members come with me. The rest of you, divide yourselves into seven teams and head opposite directions. If one team finds an exit, page the others.”
So Izzy was back with her team again. They continued forward. Izzy looked up again. She realized she was right under the eye of the storm. It was a huge swirling mass of clouds. Lightning flashed within the clouds. Then right in front of her, a huge, powerful bolt of lightning hit. She was fine, and she looked at her team members. They were in a bit of a daze, but otherwise, fine. She looked back to examining the smoldering patch. But instead of finding a burnt patch, she saw an old lady, who was really angry.
Izzy stared at her, wondering how she got there, but then again, what she previously saw in her life before this was technically impossible. Izzy laughed at her, not knowing that was a horrible mistake. The old lady immediately changed form. She was now a huge thing with angry red eyes. Izzy stopped laughing. The thing stared at her, and then in a screeching voice, said “GIVE ME THE CRYSTAL!” then, it charged.
Ch 8- The battle with X
Before they could reach their pagers, X swiped them away and crushed them. X doused FG and ELG with water. FG couldn’t ignite her flame, and ELG’s powers were shorted out. X zapped EB and WB with an arc of lightning. EB lit on fire and started running in circles. WB was on the floor unconscious. X kept destroying her friends. The storm will knock out eight brave hearts. Izzy remembered that line from the paper. She looked around. All of her friends were lying down in pain. She was the last one.
“DESTROY MY FRIENDS, WILL YOU? I’LL SHOW YOU!” screamed Izzy. Izzy balled up her hands into fists. She began to glow an aura of blue. She put her hands together, and shot an arc of magnificent blue lightning toward X. X shot a red arc, in an attempt to parry her arc. For a moment, everything was just bright and loud. X taunted “You cannot beat me! I am the most powerful monster in the universe!”
For a moment, Izzy was losing to X. X taunted again. Izzy’s arc became shorter and shorter. She struggled to push back. Then, she looked back at her friends. “You can do it! Save Anika, please! You’re our only hope! We believe in you!” said a very exhausted ELG with her last strength. Then she collapsed.
Then, Izzy’s electric aura grew brighter and stronger. “RRRRRRAAARRRGGGHH! NOBODY, I MEAN NOBODY HURTS MY FRIENDS!” she bellowed. All of a sudden, her arc grew brighter and stronger too. She screamed on, and she found hidden, inner strength and pushed on. Then, X’s arc grew shorter and shorter. “WHAT? THIS ISN’T POSSIBLE! I AM THE STRONGEST MONSTER IN THE UNIVERSE!” X screeched. She summoned up cloud beings like the one before, and rallied a battle cry “ATTACK!” That was just before Izzy let out a loud yell, sending her arc to hit directly onto X’s chest. X shuddered as the super powerful electric current arced through her. She vaporized almost instantly. The wind swept her remains away. Izzy turned to the cloud beings. “Invulnerable to electricity, eh? I’ll show you electricity!” screamed Izzy.
She sent a spark flying to a cloud being. It vaporized on contact. “NOW WHO WANTS THIS? LEAVE THIS PLANET FOREVER, OR I’LL VAPORIZE ALL OF YOU!” Izzy bellowed again. The clouds didn’t hesitate. They bunched together and rejoined the cloud mass above. It became into this small, extremely dense ball and zoomed off into the stars.
Izzy collapsed, super exhausted after that fight. By that time, the other seven teams came and saw the nine exhausted team members. They flew them back to the cave. The task was complete.
Ch9- The new note
Izzy awoke to find herself in a cot. She looked around. It looked just like her bedroom. “So you mean this was a dream? All along I was dreaming?” she exclaimed. As she screamed, the image of her room dissolved away. “She’s coming to…” a distant voice said. Izzy sat up only to find herself back on the bed in Anika. She was dreaming that she was dreaming. A loud cheer came up from a crowd.
Izzy had defeated X. “Ohh… what happened?” she groaned. ELG stepped out of the crowd. “You magnificently defeated X! Anika is saved!” she exclaimed. Then, a water controller came out of the crowd. “Hello, earthling. I am Kurt. From a distance, I saw what you did. Amazing!” he said. “How long was I out?” said Izzy.
“About three days! We were worried!” said Kurt. “And by the way, I picked up this paper from the fortress. I thought you might want to read what was on it.
Mwahaha! You might have defeated
me on this planet, but I have gone to attack with
my cloud onto another random planet to destroy!
With the vastness of the universe,
there’s no way you will find me!
Izzy stared at the note. “Well, X is right. The universe is so vast, there’s no way we’ll find her! It’s up to another person to stop her now.” she exclaimed.
EG walked up. “Well, Izzy? Do you want to return to earth now?” she said. “Well…” said Izzy hesitantly. She looked at her friends here, and how she was a hero on this planet. But then she remembered Earth, still frozen in time, and her family, her friends down there. “I’d really like to stay, but, I’ve got family. I will miss you all very much.” she finally answered.
“Very well. Convey your good-byes and we will go. Our old ship was destroyed somehow. The new ship only has room for three.” said EG. “Ok.” said Izzy. She was in great sorrow when it came time to leave.
They were at the ship docking port, when they heard “Wait! Take me with you! I have no family and I want to see earth!” Izzy looked around to see who it was. It was Kurt’s. Kurt seemed eager to come to earth, and since they had room for one more, they let him on board.
Izzy and Kurt said their final good-byes. Then EG said a count down. “T minus 10…9…8…7…” Izzy took a look back at Anika. “3…2…1… Blastoff!” completed EG. And they were off. When they were in space, Izzy had one final, last look at Anika. “Good-bye my friends” she whispered, as a voice said “Engage Hyper drive”. Then in a millisecond, Anika was gone.
Ch-10 Izzy returns
Izzy was now travelling much faster than light. Some force around her ship was preventing her from being ripped to shreds. She was pinned to her seat. Finally a voice said “Disengage Hyper drive.”Inertia propelled the ship forward, as EG slammed the brakes. As EG angled the ship right for re-entry to the atmosphere, Izzy heard a loud boom, the sonic boom that usually happens when you blast through an atmosphere. Then a crash followed the boom. They had landed in a lake, five miles from Izzy’s house. After the ship became neutrally buoyant, EG, Izzy and Kurt got out of the ship and swam to shore. They walked back to Izzy’s house. Izzy realized it was still night time. She thought back to the time the team first got her. Then she realized something. “Hey EG, how long has it been since you first recruited me?” she said. “Oh! One minute let me check. You were gone on September 23rd night. Now it is December 29, 2010. You were gone, umm, two years, three months and six days in earth terms.” Replied EG.
“It really didn’t feel that long! I thought it was only one month!” exclaimed Izzy. “Time is relative. When we were travelling in space, way faster than light, time sped up on earth, or instead sped up for us. Anika also has a much longer day and night, but you really couldn’t tell the difference because of the storm.” said EG. “Now let’s get you back to your look on September 23rd, 2008.”
EG pulled out the device EG had scanned her with in the beginning. EG held the button and a blue light swept over Izzy. Izzy looked down at an 11 year old version of herself. Izzy got to her house and went to the bedroom. She had totally forgotten the team of cleaning robots that EG had sent out a long time ago. They seem to have gotten bored and started cleaning the whole house instead. Now they were lying down on the floor doing nothing. EG summoned the cleaning robots to go fix the return ship. They gladly rushed off to fix it.
“Well, I guess this is it. I will really miss you.” said Izzy. “Yes. I will miss you too. We will all miss you.” replied EG. “Here. Take this.” EG handed Izzy a small communicator with a screen. “If you ever need help or want to talk to us, use this to call us. I know, I know. You will say ‘the signal will take forever to reach Anika and back!’ so I developed a special technology to let the signal have only a one second delay.”
EG gave Izzy a very stretchy armed hug. “Keep the suit and the pager. Your powers will remain with you forever. If you ever need help and we are not there, ask Kurt, right Kurt? Kurt?” said a very confused EG. “Oh well, he is probably out wandering in Grovington park.”
Izzy said her final good-byes to EG. Her ship and the robots were waiting out in the lawn. EG pressed a button that un-froze time, and boarded the ship. EG must have invented something to silence the ship because it had a silent take-off. Izzy said a good-bye, as the last twinkle of the ship ascended into the infinite darkness of space. Izzy went and plopped onto her bed. She put her pager, suit, and communicator under her pillow and slept.
Ch 11- Izzy’s life returns to normal, sort of
Izzy woke up bright and early the next morning. She walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth. As she was brushing, she remembered about her intense adventure. “Was it all a dream?” thought Izzy. She finished brushing her teeth and checked under her pillow. Sure enough, the suit, pager, and communicator were there under her pillow. She smiled, and created an arc of electricity to jump between her fingers.
She walked downstairs to get her breakfast. She decided not to tell anyone about her trip to Anika. They would think she was crazy. Her mom asked her about her sleep. Izzy replied “Oh, just fine.” and smiled.
Izzy went along with the school year. Izzy kept in touch with the Anikans often. The end of the school year came. As she was talking to EG and BB one night, Izzy was saying to them “I just feel like something big is going to happen. Kurt thinks so too. But I don’t know what!” “If you keep asking questions, you keep getting answers.” said BB
Summer vacation passed. The week before school came. One night, an Anikan called with an urgent message. Apparently called Kari, she said “I’ve just got news that the storm is headed to your solar system. I don’t know what planet, because there is just as much chance as it landing on any other planet than earth. Just keep your defenses up until we are sure it landed on your planet.”
Izzy smiled, thinking about her and Kurt’s predictions. “Ok. We will.” she replied. The day before school came. Izzy smiled and thought about her future 7th grade year. “I wonder what it will be this time.” mumbled Izzy, as she drifted off to sleep. She had no idea what she will have to put up with the next day.
