• This is a story of two species. The Gatorians and the Humans. We come across a world in a struggle for survival. First let us go to the humans. It’s a bright sunny day in Trackton it’s a small town, full of children and fun, but also a place of struggle and fighting. Like most places it has its good parts and it’s bad. There are gangs, weapon dealers and crooks not to mention the occasional murder or suicide. On the plus side there are also great law enforcers and bright scientist (if you search enough) and there’s a high school, which as a matter of fact is where our story begins.
    “Hey! Get back here!” shouted the high school’s football team captain, who was covered in a mixture of ketchup, mustard, relish, and mayonnaise as he chased a rather tall, gangly kid down the hall. “You’ll never catch me alive brick!!” the kid shouted
    “Paxton!!!” Shouted Brick. The kid he’s chasing, the one who right now is completely screwed, well ya that’s me. Before we go any further let me tell you why the football captain is covered in all that crap and why I’m running for my life. It was lunch and brick was still laughing about how he canned me yesterday. But what brick didn’t know was that on the day he canned me, me and my friends Chris and Kenzie rigged a trap for him after school. We took plastic bags- full of the mixture I told you about earlier-and attached them to the ceiling so that once you cut the wire they fell and exploded on the person they hit. My little brother is evil but he does make a good trap. So brick was sitting where he always does and I had Chris and Kenzie in the corner with scissors.
    “Hey brick head!” I shouted. Brick turned to see who shouted and once he saw me I yelled “Chris! Kenzie! Now!!!” I looked up and so did brick. He saw the bags swinging down looked at me and shouted “PAXTON!!!!!” *SPLAT*. The cafeteria erupted with laughter and bricks face turned red as, well as red as a brick. He was still looking at me
    “You’re dead meat Paxton!!” he screamed at me.
    “OH CRAP!!” I shouted I ran out the door and that’s how we got where we are. I kept running and ran out the front door of the school towards the library. I looked back and saw that big blob of condiments chasing me I ran into the library, pulled a hard right and slid under a desk. Luckily the librarian didn’t see me but I heard her catch brick.
    “What are you covered in?!” she yelled
    “Blame Paxton!” he retorted
    “Out of my library this instant!!!” said the librarian furiously. Before brick was outside the door I heard “I’m gonna get you for this Paxton!!!”
    ’aw man I’m screwed!’ I thought. I snuck back out of the library and met up with Chris and Kenzie.
    “Dude he almost caught you!!” said Chris “that was AWESOME!!!!!” he screamed
    “Thanks for checking to see if I’m okay.” I said angrily.
    “Sorry dude that was just so cool!” he said still spazzing about it.
    “Come on we gotta get back to class” said Kenzie. We walked back with Chris still going on about what had just happened. Eventually it got really annoying so Kenzie punched him in the arm. “Ow!” he said
    “shut up!” yelled Kenzie.
    “Seriously Chris it wasn’t that cool…aw who am I kidding that was sweet!” I said
    “but now brick is gonna kill you huh?” said Chris
    “Wow way to be a buzz kill Chris!” said Kenzie punching him in the arm again.
    “Come on you guys let’s get to cla…” I stopped mid sentence.
    “Pax?” said Kenzie trying to figure out what was going on. I was staring at the prettiest girl in school, Kaomi. I had a huge crush on her ever since the 7th grade. She wasn’t that snotty head cheerleader type; she was down to earth, level headed and smart.
    “PAX!!!” shouted Kenzie as she smacked me upside the head. Kenzie was a pretty girl a little short, brown hair, brown eyes but to me she’s just Kenzie my best friend ya know?
    “Ow! What?!” I said. im the tallest guy in the gang, black hair, brown eyes, and a tan since i swim alot. I’ve been friends with Chris and Kenzie since the 5th grade. Chris is that kid that everyone knows but doesn’t wanna hang out with, kinda tall, short black hair, very thin moustache and gangly.
    “Dude you were staring at Kaomi again.” He said looking at me in a way that says smooth dude real smooth.
    “Oh um heh ya let’s get to class if were late mister Johnson will kill us.” And with that awkward point we ran to class.

    CHAPTER 2


    After school Chris, Kenzie, Kenzies sister Ashlyn and I go wake boarding down at Lake Treck. Our driver and close friend is Johanna. She is a pretty lady, tall, long curly black hair, sparkling green eyes and a tan from being on the boat so much. Kenzie, Ashlyn and I were sitting on the boat watching Chris wakeboard. He did a 360 and an indo 180.
    "Quick Johanna hard right!!" i shouted
    "Okay!" she shouted over the roar of the engine. We pulled right and chris flew but he thought fast. He undid his board in midair and did a cannon ball.
    "Nice try Pax!" Chris shouted as we circled around to get him.
    "He almost had you!" said Kenzie.
    "Ya you almost ate it!" said Johanna
    "Did not!!" argued Chris. He always acts all defensive and macho when Ashlyn is around.
    "You kids ready to call it a day?" asked Johanna
    "ya sure" i said. We headed back to the dock and piled out of the boat. We all hugged Johanna goodbye and started walking home.
    "That was fun!" said Ashlyn
    "Ya it was!" said Kenzie
    "Hey have you guys heard their letting kids our age enroll in the army?" asked Chris.
    "I know where you're going with this and im not getting involved!!" said Kenzie
    "Aw come on Kenz! It'll be an adventure!!" i said
    "NO!" said kenzie firmly
    "Come on think about it!! All of us fighting side by side!" i said. Then Kenzie shot me a look that said absolutely not! I gave her a one arm hug and said
    "Please??" She looked at me and said
    "Fine stop begging!" We all laughed.
    "Great we'll all sign up tomorrow" said chris
    "I'm not gonna." said Ashlyn
    "Okay" chris said "Just promise that when we get back we'll hang out okay?" Ashlyn blushed
    "Okay" she said.
    "Oh get a room you two!" i said this time only Kenzie and i laughed. We all hugged each other goodbye and went home.
    When i got home nik was sitting on the couch watching t.v.
    "Where have you been?" he asked.
    "You know i go wake boarding after shcool." i said
    "Oh ya!" he stated blankly Nik is an okay kid kinda short, short black hair, brown eyes, he can be pretty irritating though.
    "Wheres mom?" i asked
    "Im in the kitchen!" i heard mom say
    "Hey mom?" i started "Can i join the army?" i asked ready to get the loudest 'no' ever.
    "Is this really what you want to do?" she asked
    "Yes." i said
    "I guess it's okay" she said "Just be carefull and keep in touch" she said
    "Okay mom i will i love you!!" i said
    "And i promise i'll be coming back home!"
    "Pax!" nik said with a sad tone.
    "Nik im gonna count on you to make up new devices and upgrades for me okay?" i asked. "Okay!" said nik enthousiastically. That night i went to bed and thought about the army. I thought about leaving school, i thought about kaomi and mom and nik. and about the enemie. The gatorians, ugly beasts really, alagator scales with a human body structure, glowing yellow eyes and sharp teeth. They appear to be intelligent and they have super human strength. They could tear you to shreds in seconds, they have claws and tails that could cut through steel.
    "I hope we have a powerful defense..." i said to myself as i drifted to sleep.
