Kirby and the Oobleck people

"We are going to crash!" shouted captain star as they flew through the atmosphere and approached the ocean of green. "Deploy the heat probes Kirby." shouted the captain as he started fumbling with the controls. The heat probes extended and heated the oobleck and made a platform. Slowly the USS Star landed on the platform.

"We are out of fuel." said Kirby. "We are going to need more fuel if we are going to get of this planet. I will start searching over there." So they started out on their warp stars to look for fuel.

Kirby started looking in the jungle. In the Jungle he saw trees with purple leafs, red fruit that were as juicy as a tiger is fierce, and little green bugs that glowed in the dark. After hours of searching, he found no fuel so he was about to leave when some shadowy looking figures with spears blocked the way out. Thinking quickly Kirby sucked up a rock nearby and shot it at the figures. About one third of the creatures were squished by the rock, but the rest charged at him and flung spears and him. Kirby jumped on his warp star and flew off. He sighed with relief and looked back and saw them flying after him. He put the pedal to the medal and shot off away from the creatures.

Kirby then decided to look for a fuel source in the desert area. The desert was full of weird little shrubs with neon pink thorns, things that looked like scorpions with four claws, and blue cactus all over the place. He then saw a oasis a small distance away and flew there to look for fuel. When he got there, he saw that the water he saw from a distance was actually Oobleck. Kirby searched and searched but found no fuel source and right when he was about to leave he saw the shadowy figures. Kirby quickly sucked one of them up and shot It out and it's fellow people. he then flew up above them and turned into a rock and squashed them into a pulp. After they were destroyed, the creatures disappeared in a wisp of smoke. Kirby climbed back onto his warp star and started flying to the ship.

When he reached the ship he saw no one there so he flew off in the direction that general star had left in and soon found him flying as fast as he could in the direction Kirby was coming from, with some of the creatures on his tail of course. Kirby got an extra boost of speed and sped into all the creatures and leaving no survivors. The air was full of smoke.

They went back to the ship and Kirby said "What were those things?" "I don't know." was the reply from Captain Star. "I was looking for fuel over there and I was ambushed by them." "I know what you mean." said Kirby. Then the platform started to liquify. "Oh no." said Captain Star "The our ship is going to sink. Get in and we can try to get it started." They went in and tried and tried but it didn't start. To make matters worse, the shadowy creatures were coming and would be there in a couple of minutes. As they desperately tried to start the ship, they saw the creatures flying towards them spears and swords raised yelling and screaming a war chant. As the ship started to go down into the ocean, some of the oobleck started to seep into the gas tank. Trying one more time, Kirby started the engine and they flew of the planet and back onto the mother ship. As soon as they got there, Captain Star was called in to tell what had happened on Oobl. As captain Star talked with the other pilots they knew, oobleck was a fuel source.

"And cut." said the director as the actors started getting out of their costumes and getting food for break. "We will make millions with this movie. Good job guys, see you tomorrow for the next shot." "Hey Jim, We are going to need more oobleck so I am going to need you to make more ok?"
