The Lost Island of Shamba

 

A few years ago on May 10,2024 there was a story in the newspaper about a new planet that was almost like earth. So then scientists did some research but didn't get all the information they were looking for. So they decided to send a spaceship crew up to this new planet to check it out. This is how the journey began. It was 10 second till lift off and everyone was buckled in safely. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0, was said then they lifted off from earth, heading for space. Everyone said that space was amazing because it was one of a kind and it was so beautiful.

It took them ten years to reach this new planet because it was the last planet in the solar system. That's why it took 10 years to get there because to get to one planet takes one year. They finally got there and it was almost identical to earth. But just in case the planet was dangerous we took gadgets with us from Patrick. Patrick is the spaceship's gadget guy; he has all the gadgets that we for this trip. He said to be careful because who ever lives here might be more powerful than us.

As we walked around this strange planet we came to a suspicious forest. As we walked through the forest Victoria the head captain said to paint blue X every ten steps on the ground. On our way through the forest we heard strange voices all around us and come to find out that these voices weren't said by humans but by animals. A long time ago there was a chemical spill in the forest and all the animals happened to drink it which gave them the power to speak to anything that was a living being. Then we followed, Captain, the spaceship's dog, which seemed to smell something in a far distance. Thanks to Captain's nose we find this mysteriously lost village of Shamba. This village has been lost for centuries. We entered the village thinking it was like any other village. But their whole wardrobe was an Egyptian/Aztec/Indian wardrobe. They live their lives like attackers it's very strange. Then Tiffany the assistant captain said that she has a bad feeling that these people weren't like this before. So after that we decided to go investigating.

While we were investigating the village of Shamba we find out that someone is trying to capture us by leaving traps everywhere we go. We pass these two animals that are talking about some kind of spell going on in the village. Immediately, we stopped and reversed back to the animals and started to ask more questions about this spell. They tell us that this evil wizard put a spell on the whole village. So then we just let it go and go on with our investigation. Until we find out that the villagers are after us. So we go back to the animals again and we ask them if they know where this mysteriously evil wizard lives. They said he lived on the mountain to the right with the little light shining on the inside.

So we decide to go up to the mountain and find the evil wizard's layer. Then in a distance we could see a man walk out of his house. Then we got to the wizard's house and knocked on his door. He opened his door and we told him that he needed to reverse the spell on the villagers because they were all out to get us. In that split second the wizard vanished into thin air. Then we run back to the spaceship.

We get to the ship and try to lift off, but the ship won't start. The villagers are outside of the spaceship and they are trying to get inside of the ship. So, Britney suggests that we need to create a diversion so we can go find the wizard. We checked the windows and the villagers have already left. It is very odd. We decide to go outside and possibly defend ourselves if they happen to be hiding. The missing villagers gave us time to look for the wizard. We then see those two animals again who helped us find the wizard in the first place. Once again we ask them if they have seen the wizard lately and they say yes. They also said that he went off to the left. We follow the directions that the animals told us and capture the wizard. Sea then says "if you try to disappear again I might have to whip out a can of kung fu on you." So, the wizard did as we told and turned all the village people back to how they were before.

We, spaceship crew, stayed there for a few days but then felt that it was the right time for us to go home. So off on the shuttle, we went to space. Once again it took them another 10 years to get home. So through the galaxy they went back to planet earth. As we landed on earth it was a bid relief because we had a lot of problems on the Oobleck planet and it was a good time to relax. However, I forgot to mention that that before we left, we took one little specimen, which was a little talking monkey, in that we could remember that crazy adventure. And that, was the story of the identical earth, well...almost!
