IncrediblesII The Attack of The Underminer

In the last series our friends were Mr.Incredibles also known as Bob, Elasticgirl also known as Helen, Dash, Violet, and Jack defeat Syndrome. Now Our friends have something much more important to worry about. As our friends were coming back from Dash's race, they saw something very unusual. A robotic fireman on a drill. Now that's something you don't see everyday. The weird thing called himself The Underminer. The family put on their supersuits and the duel began. Then Mr.Incredibles's old friend Frozone came to help. The Underminer started with some violent lasers. The laser almost got Frozone, but he got away in the nick of the time. The beams got Mr.Incredibles and Elasticgirl but Violet, Dash, and Frozone were still there. The Underminer tried to get Violet but she used her force field and made an huge explosion. Dash came speeding and confused the Underminer. Frozone used his ice but the Underminer broke through it. Elasticgirl picked up a lampost and threw it at the strong Underminer. Next Elasticgirl wrapped the Underminer. Mr.Incredibles threw a car at the huge thing and then gave it a few punches. Mr.Incredibles didn't know why the Underminer wasn't getting destroyed. Then he remembred when he threw the car he threw it at the tip of the drill. When he did that the Underminer seemed to get hurt. He then figured it all. The Underminer had a weak point! Why didn't he think of that before? Mr.Incredibles took another car. Next he told everyone to get out of the way. He threw the car with strenth and BA-CHOOM. The Underminer almost collapsed! The Underminer said"we will meet again" in anger. The friends defeated the Underminer but this was not the end. It was just the begining. Everyone went home at the end. The Incredibles family ate supper and went to sleep. Bob was the only one awake. Someone in an island named Slypher wanted him to come to the island to see how strong he was. You see this man was actully Syndrome's brother and wanted revenge on Mr.Incredibles. The next day Bob told Helen that he was leaving for a buisness trip. "Not another buisness trip". Helen sighed. "Well I'm sorry" Bob said. Bob got in his car and went to the airport. He saw Slypher and walked towards him. "you look similiar to someone I've seen but who" said Bob. "So you're Slypher" said Bob. "Yup I'm Slypher" said Slypher. Bob and Slypher got in Slypher jet plane. They travled to an island in the middle of nowhere. "Where exactly are we" asked Bob. "You'll see" said Slypher. Slypher dropped Bob in the forest down below. Bob got in his suit and was ready for action. He looked for the monster. He ran and ran. He looked and looked. Finally he saw an X. "This must be it" said Mr.Incredibles. Suddenly a huge monster appeared roaring and grunting. The monster had sharp claws, A long spiky tail, and massive arms. The creature kind of looked like a dinosaur. "I'm ready for action" Mr.Incredibles said. The monster hit our hero a few times with its tail. Mr.Incredibles punched and kicked the monster sevral times. The monster picked up Mr.Incredibles and threw him against a boulder. Then the monster made vines come out behind its shoulders. The vines grabbed Mr.Incredibles and squeezed him. Then Elasticgirl came out of nowhere. "I knew this was not a real buisness trip" she said. Meanwhile at the Incredibles house Dash and Violet kept moaning they wish they could've come with their mom. The kids were staying back at the house with a baby-sitter named Cory. During the duel Elasticgirl threw her arms around the monster. The monster got free and started to attack again. Mr. Incredibles punched the monster on his face. That hurt it alot. "So this monster has a weak point too" said Mr.Incredibles. He took a tree and started hitting the monster on its face. The monster finally fainted. Then Slypher invited Mr.Incredibbles over for dinner. Mr.Incredibles thought Slyther acted like someone he knew. Back at the house Dash had an idea. "If mom wants us to be safe we can be safe" said Dash. "You can do force field Violet while I run on water" He said. "I don't think thats a good idea" Violet said. "Of course its safe" Dash said. Dash looked an the internet where Mr. and Mrs.Incredibles were. Dash and Violet told Cory that they were going for a sleepover for a few days. Dash and Violet went to the ocean and started to go. Dash ran and ran. Violet kept her force field up. Finally they got to the island. They started to look. Elasticgirl saw Violet and Dash. She said "Violet Dash over here"! "Mom Dad"! said Violet. "I told you not to follow us" said Elasticgirl. "Well who cares" said Mr.Incredibles. They went all the the way to Slypher's territory. "Well you've brought your whole family" said Slypher. "This just gets better and better" Slypher said. After dinner Slypher gave the Incredibles their own room. "Oh cool"! said Dash turning on the TV. Bob and Helen went out on the Balcony to use some fresh air. Violet was reading a magzine. After a while the Incredibles got bored. Bob suggested to leave. He thought this was only to test how strong he was. The family walked over to Slypher. Bob said"we're leaving.I thought this was just to see how strong I was". He said bye. The Incredibles family walked out but at the last moment they got pushed back and were stuck on a machine. "This was a trick" Slypher said. Slypher said" I just wanted to get revenge on you for killing my brother Syndrome. "So that's who I was remembering, Syndrome" said Bob. Slypher just walked out of the room. "How will we get out of here"? said Elasticgirl? Mr.Incredibles just sighed. Suddenly all of Mr.Incredibles family members faded! "What just happeneed?" said Mr.Incredibles very puzzled. "Those were just clones" said a voice. It was Slypher. He said Mr.Incredible's real family was captured." "You little pest",said Mr.Incredibles. In a flash Slypher left. Then Mr.Incredibles saw something. It was Slypher's belt! Then Mr.Incredibles saw the control panel. Mr.Incredibles spit as hard as he could. That pushed down a button. That let Mr.Incredibles free! "Its showtime" said Mr.Incredibles as he took Slypher's belt. Then he ran as fast as he could. A few minutes later he saw a tracking device. He took it and typed his family. Luckily he followed the device and found his real family. He opened the cage and let them free. Mr.Incredibles found a jet and raced it back to his hometown. When he got to his hometown he saw a terrible sight. The Underminer was back and looked stronger than ever. Mr.Incredibles started fighting it. He threw a car at its drill but nothing happened. The Underminer had a new weakpoint! Mr.Incredibles tried everything but it seemed of no use. Finally Mr.Incredibles picked up a huge building and threw it at the Underminer's top. It went flying back faster than a jet plane! Suddenly Frozone came and froze the Underminer's top. That collapsed the Underminer. The good guys won! Suddenly Mr.Incredibles felt a sharp pain in his shoulders. It was Slypher. But before he knew it Slypher was flying and landed in the water. Our hero gave him a knuckle sandwich!Mr.Incredibles had saved the day. Mr.Incredibles and his family went home happy to be supers.

Snowy Day

One day I woke up at 7'o clock. I looked outside like I usually do. This time I looked outside the weather was different. Not at all the same. Today it was snowing! I quickly brushed my teeth and went downstairs for breakfast. I had tasty pancakes loaded with syrup. After I was done with my yummy breakfast I went upstairs to take a bath. My bath was quick and warm. When I was done with my soothing bath I wore warm clothes. I wore warm mittens,a confy jacket,a big cozy hat,and finally my favorite boots. I went downstairs and told my mom I was going to play outside in the sparkly white snow. I walked outside and took some materials with me if I wanted to build a snowman. I first lay flat on the cold ground and made snow angels. After snow angels I wanted to build a snowman. I first got one big ball of snow,a smaller one and one more that was even smaller. Second I put biggest snowball to smallest. Next I got two rasins for the eyes and stuck them to the top of the first snowball. Then I got a carrot for the nose and stuck them to the middle of the first snowball of the snowman. After that I got lots of rasins and put them at the bottom of the first snowball on the snowman. Later I put two buttons on each of the leftover snowballs. To make the snowman look cute I added a scarf and a hat. My snowman was finished! After my snowman,I saw a weird thing on the ground. I wonderd what it was. Then I heard a bird. I watched the bird carefully. When it walked the same weird thing on the ground being made by the bird. Woohoo! Then I knew exactly what the weird thing on the ground was. It was a squirrel's footprint. I wanted to go sleding so I got my sled. I went to the top of a hill. I got on my sled and WHOOSH off I went. After the sled ride,the snowman,and the footprints I was beat. I went inside and my nice mom gave me refreshing warm hot chocolate. Finally I took a long nap.

Fossils

How do we know about dinosaurs and plants? The answer is in fossils. Fossils are what is left of animal or plant, but turned to stone. This is how fossils are made. First the animal that is dead falls to the bottom of a lake. Next the animals skin gets eaten by probably bacteria. Years and years pass. The animal gets covered with layers of mud. Soon the animal turns into stone and becomes a fossil. Fossils are usally found by people called paleontologists. Paleontologists are people that find and study fossils. But the falling into lakes is not the only way fossils can be made. Sometimes mammoths or other animals from the Ice Age are frozen whole. That means animals from the Ice Age can freeze to death and still be found in their animal form. The only thing that has changed is that the creature can not move. Amber is also a thing that can make fossils. This is how it works. First a creature gets on a tree. Then sticky sap on a tree(amber) catches the animal and traps it inside the amber. Millions of years pass. The creature inside the amber will stay there forever. The amber hardens and tuns into a kind of fossil. Amber can be used for jewlery. Paleontologists use tools to help them get the fossils. The tools are picks, shovels,hammers,and brooms. When paleontologists try to get the fossil,they have to be very careful not to damage it. Putting the bones together is the hard part. Paleontologists have made many mistakes when they try to put the bones together. For example,once they thought a thumb claw on a Iguanodon's hand was a horn on its nose. Less than 200 years ago people did not know what dinosaurs were. They thought they were bones of a elephant. Fossils are great discoveries. They are still being found today. Someday you might be a great paleontologist.

Elliot the Elephant

There once was an elephant called Elliot. Elliot was a good elephant, except for one thing.That was his nose. Everyone made fun of his nose because it was very long. Elliot tried not to be sad but so many people made fun of him which bothered him a lot. There was only one animal that didn't make fun of him... Giraffe. One day Elliot went to Giraffe's house. Giraffe's mother told Elliot that when she was young, everyone made fun of her because she had a long neck, but she just ignored. The next day, Elliot went to school, and everyone made fun of him again. Elliot tried what Giraffe's mother did. He just ignored. When Elliot went home, his parents told him that everyone called them names when they were young. Elliot dreamed that nobody made fun of him. When he woke up, it was Saturday so he didn't have to go to school. Elliot got dressed and had breakfast. Elliot took a walk to get some fresh air. Then a boy started laughing at him. Then a whole group of children started laughing at him. A little kid saw what was happening. She felt bad for Elliot. She told everyone to stop laughing at Elliot. Everyone said"why do we have to listen to a little kid like you?" The little child replied"what if someone laughed at you because you had long ears, noses,or arms or any other problem?" The big children just walked away. Elliot thanked the little kid for her help. Just then people crowed together. Elliot went to see what they were all looking at. Somebody was stuck in a tree! Giraffe wasn't there so he couldn't reach the child. It was up to Elliot to save the small child. His long nose went up to the tree. Elliot grabbed the child and got him down. Everyone cheered and said they were sorry they called him names. Elliot was a hero!

I’m Scared of the Dark

I don’t know why but I’m scared of the dark. Every time I go upstairs I think that a monster will eat me up--even though I know it’s not true. I wish this fear will stop but it just won’t. Every day when I go to sleep I just can’t. I hope no one will figure my fear. If anyone finds out that I’m scared of the dark everyone will make fun of me. My parents don’t buy me a nightlight because it won’t do any good and my parents think that I’m old enough. They are going to tell me how they overcame their fear when they were young so I can use their ways to overcome my fear. Uh-oh I got a field trip form that we are going into a cave. I have to overcome my fear now. I’ll try to practice. Ok first my mom and dad have to come in my room. Now I have to get in my room. My mom and dad have to turn my lights off now. Ahh! I just can’t do it. The field trip is tomorrow. What shall I do? I guess I’m just going to have to live with it. Now I’m going to pack for tomorrow. First I will put a flashlight for tomorrow. Second I will put my homework in my backpack. Third I’m going to put my lunch in my backpack. Now I’m going to sleep. Today is the big day. First I get ready. Next I eat breakfast. Now I get in my car. First I’ll put my seatbelt on. DROOM DROOM! Okay now I get in my class line. Next the teacher will ask us if any of us have to use the restroom. Now we will get into the bus. Finally we get to the cave. First I will turn my flashlight on. EEKS! We are actually walking in a real cave. Ahh a monster! Phew that’s not a monster it’s a stalactite. Whoa bats. Oh-no! My flashlight battery is low! My flashlight battery is gone! I guess I’m going to have to walk through a cave without a flashlight. Cool are those fossils on the walls? My teacher said that we could only pick one rock from the ground. I chose a shiny one. Finally we are out of the cave. At last I’m safe at home, in the dark.
