From the depth of the dense forest I came dashing to tell Kensuke something vital.
“Kensuke!” I shouted.
“Yes! What’s wrong Michelnya?!”
“I have some peculiar news. The orangutans have been acting very erratic. They have been acting hysteric and crazy and when you gaze into their eyes they seem very petrified about something.” I asserted as Stella barked and nodded as if she had agreed.
“Ok.” Kensuke nodded with confusion and dismay.
I knew this couldn’t be a coincidence but the Orangutans always acted strange so I let it go by as if it was normal or so I thought….
A few days later something happened that could of killed me.
Me and Kensuke were taking a leisurely stroll on the beach when we heard something that would haunt me and Kensuke for the rest of our lives, which I suspected wouldn’t be very long. We both heard gunfire and as we heard it we tried to find the location of where the gunfire could off came from. After a while of using our sense of hearing we finally made it to the location of the horrific sound and the scene was more petrifying than the sound…
We so a herculean ship with massive amounts of armored men with guns shooting and harassing the orangutans. I heard one of the men snapping:
“Get out of here you hairy piece of dinosaur dung!"
"Soldiers." I whispered to Kensuke with anger,
"Go behind me. Come with me but stay behind Michelnya." Kensuke whispered with determination. As I stayed behind the walked up to the most appealing soldier: A man who looked like a gangster. He wore the traditional army camo jeans and boots but had a red and white striped vest with a mullet. He had tattoos all over his arm saying 'All hail General Barnacle' bordered with dragons with scales replaced with stars.
"Hey General Barnacle!" Kensuke shouted at the ponderous General Barnacle.
"Yes! Who are you old man?" General Barnacle grunted as he pointed his Riot shotgun at Kensuke.
"What you doing to the Island and Orangutan?!" Kensuke snapped.
"Ah! You see" Barnacle grinned as he wrapped his arm around Kensuke while keeping his shotgun still intact ",we are clearing some Signs of life to be able to construct a Jungle training ground so we can train soldiers so that we can increase our army and destroy and crush our enemies and protect people from evil." Barnacle exclaimed.
"You evil, stop!" Kensuke muttered
"You can't tell me what I can and cannot do old man!" Barnacle mouthed back as he was ready to shoot Kensuke.
"Yes I can!" Kensuke snapped.
"No you can't!" Barnacle as he triggered the infamous BANG from his killing machine as blood poured out of Kensuke chest as he plunged to the ground and lay lifeless and solid.
"Nooooo!!!!! What have you done!!!! I screamed as I descended into sadness and anger.
"Nothing kid. I'm sorry but that old man deserved it!" Barnacle asserted blankly as if he didn't feel very sorry.
"I will never forgive you" I stammered angrily "get off here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Michael screamed and snapped courageously as I shook and jumped violently and frantically like a baby when he/she wanted something desperately
"Ah! I see now" Barnacle grunted ",a kid is telling what to do now!" Barnacle snapped "Let me reverse it now, you have to get out of this island in two days or you have just got free ticket to the graveyard in a Casket!" Barnacle grinned as he fiddled with his shotgun that was used to kill my closest (and oldest) friend.
I was so frustrated with general I just galloped away breaking down into tears feeling that I was the loneliest person in the world sorrounded by people who were destined to kill me. My body and my mind felt so frustrated that I wished that I could die. I just felt that I was alone or so I thought....
The next day the first thing I heard were footsteps. I was so petrified I couldn't move. I just wished that I wouldn't die yet but came to my surprise it was an unarmed soldier who looked like he was at least 11 1/2 years old.
"Hello" said the person kindly "my names Jockey and I am here to help you get out of this island."
"Ok and thanks but what do we do?" I replied sternly.
"Ok listen, pack everything you want and need and I'll get the supplies for the journey but the problem is that they won't let you out so easy so you have to put all your skills into use. Meet me tomorrow at noon at where your old man die." Jockey asserted. As Jockey said we met at the port. I didn't feel confident and friendly as I didn't want lose anymore close friends at least for that time. I had brought a lot of Kensuke's possessions to remind me of him. "Good job. A search team found a beacon and if we fixed some parts of the beacon it would be in perfect shape. But thankfully we have all the resources we need to launch the beacon!" Jockey grinned as he showed me something I thought I would see or use anymore... As he opened his hand I saw something transparent and I immediately thought of...
"Fire glass!" I gasped ",how did you get it?!"
"They always have some fire glass just incase and for this priority it is for your case." Jockey replied almost immediately. As we headed towards the beacon I heard footsteps and before I could gasp Jockey immediately pulled me into the forest. "Now here comes the part where you are going to have to use your agility and speed. But no matter what you do stay very close to me." Jockey squeaked desperately as he got his gun ready. 3....2..........1...........Gooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jockey screamed as he sprinted and shot the neighboring soldiers. At that time it seemed very hard to conclude if Jockey was the coolest or craziest 11 year old I had ever met. As he killed a few more soldiers I ducked down to avoid having a bullet go through my skull but after a while we got to the beacon but more soldiers were advancing on us including Barnacle as he was cursing and commanding his men. "Do you know how to set a Fire?" Jockey asked desperately as he shot more soldiers.
"Of course! I'll do it now." I replied desperately and immediately. As he stalled for more time I ran up the beacon and set up the fire and in no time a fire started and as I screamed violently and desperately but I knew doing what I was doing right now would be useful so I grabbed another gun and shot the army. For a while of hard work something happened to me that me and Stella had been waiting for a long time. "A boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're saved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I exploded with joy as I wiggled, jumped, screamed and waved frantically and happily and to my joy it was coming closer and closer.
"We have to dive and swim to the boat so get Ready!" Jockey asserted desperately and so I followed his orders and grabbed my bag and Stella "Are you ready? 3........2...............1....................... Gooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" be screamed as we jumped off the hill and as soon as we touched the water we swam to the boat and after minutes of paddling we got to the boat and we immediately went into the captain office and thanked him.
"We need to go to Northampton in England captain." I asserted.
"It's your lucky day then because that's exactly where we are heading too." The captain grinned.
"THANK YOU!" we both said. As we rested I started to get know Jockey a little bit better.
"Jockey why did you help me?" I asked.
"Because a eleven or ten year old doesn't deserve to die." he replied.
"But how come your parents let you join the army?" I asked again.
"My parents died when I was just as baby and I was raised by an orphanage and I don't other kids to be orphans also and I want to protect people." he stammered as he looked like he was going to burst into tears.
I replied "My parents could adopt you."
"Really!" he squealed happily.
"Of course! It gets lonely when you only have parents, a dog" as I stroked Stella in her head "and a football."
"That would be excellent but we'll have to see." he asserted confidently.
"Yes we will see!" I exploded with confidence as we sailed off into the horizon........
That was my story around the world and about Kensuke and Jockey and without I would never live up until this day. But who knows if this might happen to another boy who soul be ten years old when he gets stranded and happens to meet an old Japanese man. Who knows.......
