The android conspiracy



By Sohaib Nasir


Once there lived a man called Draco. He had the power that enabled him to transform into different creatures. If he wanted to transform into a dinosaur he’d transform into a dinosaur with torn pants and it would stand on his hind legs. The dinosaur would be half dinosaur and half human. Draco’s hair was straight, his face was squarish, his legs quite long and his body was quite muscular. His eyes were black and he wasn’t fat. He liked to play outdoor games and exercise and jogged every morning. He practiced martial arts too. In his free time he lifted weights to get stronger. He was extremely clever and he used his cleverness in battles. He scanned the environment for clues and then took advantage against his opponent. He was also very kind but he didn’t believe in giving a second chance to evil people.

Draco lived in a place called Cragon. It was a place for people who were misfits on Earth. Whenever there was danger Draco would come to Earth and save the day. At Cragon the houses were especially made for people who were abnormal. They were fireproof, waterproof and bullet-proof, so that none of the owners could damage the houses. The cars were small like space shuttles that couldn’t fly higher than a metre. Cragon was divided into two parts. There was a separate land for people from space such as aliens and there was a different land for people who had powers such as Draco.

One day Draco heard news about a huge army of androids getting ready to attack a planet with life on it. It was early in the morning and Draco had just gotten up. He didn’t realise what that meant at first, but when he thought about it again it hit him like a bullet. They were going to invade the Earth, the planet that Draco protected. He gasped in horror. He knew he had a job to do. “Transform!” he yelled. A blaze of fire surrounded him and then vanished. Now a humanoid dragon stood where Draco had been. Draco had just transformed. He burst out of the door and flew as fast as lightning to the headquarters.

Draco was about to commit a crime by passing across his land. Suddenly he realised what he was about do. “Aaarrgghh!” he screamed as he used all his energy to stop. Draco lost his balance and fell straight down, landing in a crater of smoke. He got up and looked around to see if he had passed the headquarters or not. He was quite satisfied to see that he hadn’t.

He’d have to wait for the androids to reach the Earth and only then he could fight them. Draco waited for the spaceship and then shot up into the sky. There was a fireball around him. There was one around the spaceship too.

Meanwhile, at Earth people were gazing at the night sky watching two shooting stars streak across the sky. While one was pretty big and the other quite small, they were both travelling at the same speed. Suddenly the people were screaming in panic. The big shooting star was coming straight down towards them with the small one right behind it. Everyone quickly ran out of its way, except a child who was frozen, he was so shocked that he couldn’t move. When his mother saw him, she tried to get him but was stopped by the huge crowd. That’s when the smaller shooting star flew over the bigger one, and then suddenly a humanoid dragon came out of the fireball and handed over the child to his mother.

CRASH! BAM! KABOOM!
The spaceship’s wings blew up. Thirty androids came out of the wreck. Behind them came out a huge android gorilla who was the size of King Kong, a huge dinosaur of the same size and a huge dragon. “Well at least things can’t get any worse!” said Draco, but just then seventy more androids shot out of the burning spaceship and lined up in front of him. “Aaarrgghh!” Draco gave out his war cry as he ran towards the hundred androids. His body was suddenly covered in flames and he slammed into five androids, who fell to the floor. Draco swiftly turned around and flew towards the subway. Ninety five laser beams chased him. He dodged them by ducking into the subway. He tumbled down the stairs and landed on a train track. Half of the androids jumped on the train track. Suddenly, an android bigger than the others stepped in front of them. He must be the leader, thought Draco. The leader told his followers to fall back; he wanted to fight Draco alone. The android’s hand turned into a cannon, and an energy ball formed inside it. Two fireballs formed in Draco’s hands. Fire shot out of Draco’s hands and a beam shot out of the android’s cannon. The fire and the beam collided and caused an explosion.

Suddenly a strange rumbling sound came from behind the androids. The androids didn’t know the Earth as well as Draco, so they didn’t know what the rumbling sound was but Draco did. A smile lit up on Draco’s face. A train came and broke through all the androids and headed for Draco. Fifty androids were suddenly behind Draco. He had a great idea, the androids fired their beams at Draco but he dodged them by jumping onto the train. The beams hit the engine and caused an explosion. Draco jumped up and clutched the roof just in time. Draco survived but all the androids were gone. Just then a huge gorilla fist smashed through the wall of the subway. That was when Draco remembered the dinosaur, the gorilla and the dragon. Draco ran out on the street.

“Fire power up!” shouted Draco. The gorilla lunged at him but Draco countered by hitting the gorilla on the face with his tail. The dragon breathed fire on him but Draco moved to the side and dodged him. The dinosaur tried to bite him but Draco closed his jaws with his hands. He took one hand off the dinosaur’s mouth and grabbed the dragon. He jumped up into the air and spun around until he was a flaming tornado. Then he pulled the dinosaur and the dragon in it and after a few seconds he threw them both. They hit two buildings and knocked them over. Then Draco kicked a flaming leg into the dinosaur’s chest and it was gone. The dragon got up and bit Draco on the neck and the gorilla put his fists together and slammed them on Draco’s chest.

Draco staggered backwards and crashed into a building, but he grabbed the building behind him and somersaulted onto it. Then he jumped down bringing a blazing kick into the dragon’s chest and it was gone. Only the gorilla was left. It charged towards Draco and connected a punch with his jaw; Draco was stunned for a second and that was all the time the gorilla needed to give Draco a punch in the stomach taking all the air out of him. Draco fell to his knees, but while he was falling he managed to hit the gorilla in the stomach. Then he got on his feet and while he was bringing his head up he brought an uppercut to the gorilla’s chin, finally he did a flaming spin kick that hit the gorilla in the chest. The gorilla staggered backwards and hit a building and then it was gone. The Earth’s protector had once again been victorious in the battle to keep the people living on Earth safe.
