Chapter 1

The Space Adventure

Once there was a monster, and it ripped the whole world in half, everyone went to live on the moon and other planets. I went to live on the moon with my friends, Arthur, Laert, Boden, and Dylan. I spotted a weird button, and I nervously pressed it, and it made it so whatever me and my friends thought of would come to life. Me and my friends all like football so we thought of football related things and people. 

 

Chapter 2

The Buttons Secret

Suddenly, the button stopped working, me and my friends started to feel worried, but next thing you know the button started to work again, but differently. A new person appeared but he was evil, his name was Red Falcon, he thought of 100 monsters. So, we had to use our imagination to fight back. We defeated 15 of them then I spotted that it has a bigger problem than I had thought.

 

Chapter 3 

The Big Problem

Immediately, Red Falcon summoned 1000 monsters on every planet and the moon, so I made everyone press the button so that they can fight back and protect the planet they have been living on. Finally, we fell asleep guessing Red Falcon would fall asleep too, but he did not.

 

Chapter 4 

In The Night 

The first thing Red Falcon did was destroy all the planets. Then me and everybody woke up and saw their new home had been destroyed so we all went to look for a new home. Suddenly, me and my friends found a planet with a huge mansion on it, so we went to check it out and found out it was where Red Falcon came from, because there was lots of other evil looking people, so we went to tell everyone else what we saw. We kept exploring for a new home and eventually found a bunch of stars and we followed them, it led to a big city in space. 

 

Chapter 5

The city

When me and my friends finally arrived at the big city, we were welcomed by an elderly person who had escaped from earth. They introduced us to the locals and gave us a tour of the city. It was like nothing we have ever seen before, it had a big waterfall in the middle and plants all around. Everyone here seemed happy until they heard our story. We had told them about the button and what Red Falcon had done, but as soon as we mentioned Red Falcons name, they all started to panic. They then told us that the whole city was hiding from Red Falcon after he had taken over their planets. This was the saftest place in space. It had a force field surrounding the city and armed guards patrolling around the perimeter. For the first time in a while we all felt safe.

 

Chapter 6 

Red Falcon Is Here 

We soon discovered that the elderly person was Red Falcon in disguise. When he greeted us he tapped Laert on the back and put a tracking device on his jacket. Suddenly, Laert disappeared! Red Falcon took Laert back to his secret lair and used his powers to turn Laert into an evil person. When Laert returned to our group, he pretended that he had just got lost and was pleased to have found us again. 

 

Chapter 7

Laert’s Evil Mission

Laert’s secret mission is to turn me and my friends into evil people by tricking us to go to where he got turn into an evil person. Laert trick Boden first and it worked Laert managed to take Boden to Red Falcon. next, Red Falcon turn Boden into an evil person then Dylan then Arthur.  I Suddenly, noticed everyone us acting suspiciously I set a trap to catch them I noticed a red button on all of them I ripped it off and they all started acting normal then I told them what happened. I managed to turn the evil button in to a good button. Next, Laert, Boden, Dyan and Arthur went to Red Falcon’s lair and made him do what whatever we tell him to do.
