City Slickahs, into Oobleck trainahs.

Chp:1 Expect thee Unexpected.

"Yo! Jackstah!" yelled Mo under a customer's cadillac working on the engine.

"Eo! And, yo. Mo! Stop freaking calling me Jackstah! Cuz, it gets so irritating. What like me call you moo," Jack said while approaching the cadillac that Mo was working on.

"O.K. I'm sorry. But can you turn on the radio?"

"Oh shoot. What radio station do you want it to."

"Um. What's the one with all those, old songs, oldies, and songs from Elvis Presly?" Mo said as if he was trying to remember a thought of when he was a baby.

"58.9 The Songs of the time forgotten?" Mo blankly said as if he were trying to answer a question he didn't know. Then he climbed into the car, and turned on the radio trying to tune it to the right radio station.

"Yeah, man. That's the best damn radio station on the face of this earth. It has all of the best music. None of the music can make my ears swing to them beats, baby. Hmmm, baby this ones for you. Cause we're gonna take this nice and slow. Cause baby, ain't there nothing as sweet you. Aww!!" in tune and in harmonized Mo said as to the beat in his head, then interrupted when his wrench fell on top his head.

"Oh, here we go." Mo said as Jack tuned into the radio station.

Baby! Baby! A one, two, ready and! The radio filled the car shop with the music of Elvis Presly. Mo under the car shaking his waist and singing with a silent voice. Jack then got out of the car and walked toward his room and saw mail on the floor. Looking at the mail from a distance he couldn't see what the last letter said. He bent down and picked up the letters an read them to himself in a low voice as he scanned the mail,

"Bill, bill, bill, bill, say what? Oh my gosh!" Jack ran to the cadillac and called for Mo in a loud voice. But mo said wait. He said it again but Mo said wait. So Jack got honked the horn.

"Aww! O.K. What the hell do you want? Gosh, don't need to kill my ear drums." said Mo as he crawled out from beneath the cadillac. "What is it?"

"Mo. NASA. Wants us." , Jack said bending over to give Mo the letter.

"Shut up. Just cause I got you mad. Frick. Doesn't mean you gotta make up some bull crap. Oh yeah, why the hell would they want us. Yeah, us. Us, city losers." Mo said trying to reassure Jack that it wasn't for them. Mo stood up in quickly as if he just got bit by a spider and grabbed the letter away from Jack and read it,

"Dear Mokie L. Jeffery and Jack H. Mathers,

we have wrote this letter to inform you that both of you have been chosen for a special space mission. You have been chosen for a space mission that both of you and seven other colleagues are going to be the first human beings to land on the planet "Oobleck." "Oobleck" is a planet that our satellite "Dagget" has picked up and sent us numerous pictures of. We were only to get a hold of pictures that shows an ocean filled with an green liquid which consumes half of the planet. We were able to receive information that it has no characteristics of acid. It hardens as due to tension. The following information was figured out on an account of we received a very little amount of "Oobleck."

So the both of you and fellow crew members will get astronaut training and go to "Oobleck." On your way to "Oobleck" all of you will ready the equipment to take samples and test "Oobleck." The distance from here to "Oobleck" 85,669,845,321,362,254,863,115,452,157,843,651.5748698547532159 miles. But the journey to "Oobleck" will take an estimated one week. We have figured out how to travel with an abundant amount of speed. So please be prepared. Report to NASA in Louisiana by 8:50 p.m. December 25. You leave December 26.

Sincerely the President of NASA,"

Jack and Mo froze still for thirty seconds with there mouth open and drool dropping from Jack's mouth landing on top of Mo's shoes.

"Hey what the. Oh frick! Stop drooling on my foot! Hecks the problem with you!" Mo said as he stood up and pushed Jack away from him. Jack closed his mouth and wiped his mouth but kept drooling. He took two steps back and looked at Mo with eyes as big as if he just bungie jumped off Mt. Everest. He started to bite his nails then he and yelled ahh! He closed his eyes, he couldn't believe it. He was chosen to go to NASA. He was practically going crazy. He grabbed his bald head, and landed on his knees on the ground crying. As he grabbed his bald head, his arm's nerves were showing clearly, as Jack tightened his muscles. Then out of the blue, Mo couldn't believe, Jack the person who was the toughest person in all California was crying like a baby that just got a bottle taken away from. Mo then said attempting to shape up Jack,

"Suck it up, man"

"Okay."

Jack said as he sucked up a strand of boogers hanging from his nose. They couldn't believe it. Them, city slickers where chosen to go look for a new planet that hasn't even explored before. Heck they didn't even know if they were going to get killed. So Mo and Jack then started to pack there things. Ready to go to NASA. Knowing not if they would ever come back to the place the live.

 

Chapter:2 NASA Calls

December 24, 2025 8:00am

"You ready Jack?" Mo said as he looked Jack which was holding all his bags filled with his stuff. "Yeah man I'm, ready." Jack couldn't bare to see Mo close the door to the car shop both of them lived in. So he walked to the car just as if someone he knew died. With his head down he opened the passenger door of the Jaguar and sat in a blew his nose loud enough to wake someone up. Mo closed the door and walked toward the Jaguar with his bags and opened the drivers door and sat down and closed the door taking his time. Put his and Jack's bags in the back seat and put the key in the ignition. Then started the car, turned on the radio to 58.9, pulled out of the driveway and they were on their way to Louisiana.

On their way to Louisiana, Mo and Jack would constantly change who would drive. Every time someone got tired. The driver would pull on the side and trade places. The journey took one day as supposed. They arrived at NASA wondering what kind of trouble they were get themselves into.

 

Chp:3 Training.

The Jaguar pulled up to the entrance gate with barely any fuel to go for a mile. Jack as the driver saw the policeman and said,

"Excuse me, sir."

"Yes," the policeman said in a low voice as he turned around from watching his mini tv.

"How may I help you sir?" the policeman said as he leaned over the bottom half of his gate door.

"Uh yeah. Can you tell us where Oobleck trainees report to?" Jack said as if he were a kindergartner answering a teacher's question.

"Oh yes. We've been expecting you. Just drive up, here this road. Then vaolla! Your there."

"Thank you very much sir." as Jack saluted the police officer off.

"Your welcome, oh yes and sir.." The policeman coming closer to Jack and whispering,

"Just to let you know. I'd suggest you to take all your bags out of the car when you leave."

"Why's that?" as Jack pulled his ear closer to the police officer as if receiving a kiss.

"Because when you leave your car, your car is gonna go poof."

"O.K. Thank you very much." Jack in his mind thinking the gate guard is crazy, he drives off shaking his head.

"So Mo. What do you think is going to happen to us? Cause to tell you the truth I'm like frickin scared." Jack said as he parked his car in front of the main building,

"Man. I don't know. To tell you the truth. I'm like frickin scared too. So don't look to me when you need help." Mo and Jack got out of the car and got there bags out and started walking toward the building.

"So what do you think the guard meant by our car going poof?" Jack said scratching his head. BOOM! Jack and Mo just instantly dropped and saw car parts of their Jaguar flying everywhere. As they turned around they saw an enormous fire blazing with the smell of rubber burning. They both said together in question,

"Say what?"

Mo then yelled loud enough to break glass,

"O.K.! Now what the frick just happened. Cause I tell ya! That Jag is one of the best damn cars that I have ever bought!"

Now Mo very mad he was practically grabbing Jack by the neck strangling him.

"Tell me! Jack!"

Jack choking head butted Mo and started choking him. With his nerves bulging out from his arm and rose Mo into the air like The Undertaker ready for the Choke Slam. Then replied in a calm voice at Mo, as Mo choked in terrible pain,

"Mo. I don't know but get over it."

As Jack dropped Mo and pushed him back two feet. Mo massaged his neck and looked at Jack. "Oh my bad." He than ran up to Jack apologizing.

Mo and Jack entered the building walking to the front desk and asked for the trainee center. But before one word was spoken. The lady said like a flight attendant

"Down the west hall. All the way to the dead end. Then take one right."

Jack and Mo walked down the hall touching everything in their possession. When they reached the end. They looked around and stood for 15 seconds. Then right when Mo was going to talk. BAH! BAH! BAH! The both of them hit the ground on their stomach covered by their luggage screaming like little girls Then out of wall popped a scientist with a wrist watch and an assault rifle.

"Ha! I got you guys, and you guys looked like a bunch of fifth grade wussies."

The scientist bent over laughter.

"You g-g-g-guys. Ju-ju-ju-just failed the first part of training."

"Oh well. It wasn't mandatory."

Mo said as he and Jack arose from the ground looking at the bullet holes in back of them.

"Oh, my bad."

The scientist, very plump and short. Dusting his shoulders bent over and shook both their hands. He couldn't realize why they were so scared.

"Why, my name is Pinky. I am from Russia, and this is Sacks."

Pinky held his arms out to his left waiting for something to happened. Waiting, waiting.

"Fetch! Sacks! Hurry up you dumb lamp noodle."

Then out of nowhere appeared from the wall there was a man on top of a hovering surfboard two feet above the ground with the same wristwatch like Pinky.

"Aloha buddahs. So how you guys doing. As da sole say. My nick is Sacks and I like to hang loose."

Sacks was a man that looked like a hobo that had clothes mostly had puka's all over. He wore slippers that by the heel part was mostly ground away to make a hole. Then Mo said rudely,

"Say what. What do you mean you like to hang loose."

"No. I like to hang loose like the way the Hawaiians did um. Cruise. Not, frick! Why the hell are you even talking like that?"

Sacks said trying to tell Mo what he meant.

"Ho. My bad."

Mo turned away scratching his head. Jack broke the ice by saying,

"Hey yo man. So where are we supposed to meet. Cause all around us is just walls. Well, except in back of us."

Pinky looked at him then said, "Watch this."

Pinky brought out a penny and put his assault rifle down. He threw the penny at the wall. Believing the penny would just hit the wall. Jack and Mo shrugged their shoulders and looked at each other. But right when the penny hit the wall a little hand no bigger then a mockingbird popped out and grabbed the penny. Jack and Mo jumped back in amazement. Then all of a sudden, immediately a wall enclosed the four into a little room and shot upwards. Jack and Mo just standing wondering what just happened, looked at the hand with big eyes. Then the room turned into a glass room, showing the surrounding environment high in the sky. Jack and Mo were then scared and looked down and shocked jumped back, but was hit by the glass door which made a sound as if it were going to crack.

 

Chp4: Training Center Arrival

The glass room flew through threw the clouds with ease and still elevated high into the sky. Air even at the high elevation was not thinning out. More than 180,000 feet in the air, the glass room headed for a ordinary cloud. But when the glass room went into the cloud, it arrived on the other side with a enormous "White House" like building on a metal platform. But instead, the outside was covered in a metallic blue with a NASA logo on top. Arriving on top this metal platform high in the sky, Jack and Mo was shocked and had their eyes wide open as if they just won a million dollars. They then landed on top this platform high in the sky. The glass room opened with a glass wall disappearing. But when this happened, Jack and Mo started to breath heavily on account of the room had no longer gave air. They both fell to the ground trying to breath while Pinky and Sacks looked at both of them and thought, "Weirdoes."

Pinky grabbed both of them and gave both a pill. Receiving this pill they both tried to stand up, trying hard they both managed to. They dropped the pill into their mouth's and swallowed. Then in a second both were fine breathing fine. Jack and Mo looked at each other and gave each other the prop handshake. Which is when you hit each others fist together.

"So. We arrived at the training facility. In half a day you leave." Pinky said as he kicked the building door open.

"Wait! Hold up! And I mean hold up seriously dude!" Mo yelled as he stopped in his tracks. Making the others stop in their tracks too.

"What do you mean we're leaving tomorrow. Huh. Cause we only got here. Please. So please, someone tell me what the hell is, I mean, we are going to do to learn all this crap in half a day. No less than half a day. Huh." Mo very angry and confused.

Pinky looking at Mo, shook his head and walked closer to him. Then put his hand on Mo's shoulder and said, "Sir. We have a program, that when you use a helmet that transports all information of training and your ship into your brain within seconds. They did to me, Sacks. So don't worry."

Mo in a question look said, "Oh."

Standing there, Pinky took his arm off Mo and turned around started to walk with everybody following him. Mo couldn't believe he made a fool of himself. So he just followed the others.

Pinky walked into a room with two metal helmets with a wire hanging out of the wall with black leather seats, with arm rests. Pinky walked toward the two seats, he then signaled Mo and Jack with his fingers to come over. Mo and Jack walked over and assumed that they should just sit down. First they put down their bags and they they both sat down, then not knowing the two metal helmets jumped on top their heads. Pinky walked between the two seats and pressed a button on the wall.

Then in a sudden charge, a electrical wave overcame both of them making them tense immensely. The charge took five seconds. Then after the five seconds of charge, it stopped with no extra shocks. Both cracked their necks making loud sounds relieving themselves. They got up and looked around clue less. Then both felt a tingle in their brain. They then knew everything about the ship they were riding, how to operate the ship from different positions. Jack speaking said,

"How do we know all of this?"

"The program is called "The Matrix." It consists of more than 784,658,125,453,369.154 molecules that tell about information about our mission. So in you, are all those molecules transporting into your brain. So as you city slickers say, Cool. So on our way to our ship."

Pinky released Jack and Mo and they both got up and picked up their bags on their way to their ship. They both walked to the ship as they walked down a hallway that empty with windows on the right side of them showing the bay and their ship which looked like a shark with a lot of graffiti and very old. As they reached the end of the hallway, their on the floor was a yellow flat circular platform. All stopped at once observing it. Sacks got off his hovering surfboard and pressed a button on top his shorts which made the surfboard disappear in mid air. He then walked on top the flat platform and motioned the others to come onto the platform. When all of them stepped on top the platform. Sacks then said,

"Beam us up, sole. Launch bay."

Then Jack and Mo felt a tingle inside which made them close their eyes and Pinky and Sacks. When they opened their eyes they were in the launch bay which meant they were on a little platform in the air hovering downwards to where the platform would land. When they landed, stairs appeared on the side which walk down on top a level the only level floating in mid air that had a sidewalk that outlined a rectangle with a little building on the east side. They saw the ship with stairs leading into the shark's eye which was the cockpit. They then walked into the ship. Mo looked back and saw the first floating building maybe 10 miles away from where they were. He turned around and saw himself inside the cockpit of the ship with two other men named "Buzz" and "Lion." They welcomed themselves to Buzz and Lion. As so did they to Mo and Jack. After the welcoming Jack and Mo had a moment were they immediately knew what to do. They packed everything in the right place. The two now knew were everything was. Also what they were going to do on top their trip. So after they got their things packed into their rooms all met outside in the building.

 

Chp5: Preparation

That night, they had a feast, that let them enjoy their time before they left. All were having a fun time, drinking, and eating. They would reminisce about their kid days and what they would do if they were to die on Oobleck. This lasted till 9:30p.m. which lasted with all going back lazy and tired ready to sleep.

 

Chp6:Takeoff

"Let's go!"

Buzz was a muscular man so he shook both Jack and Mo easily with both hands. He got both to wake up. He then said it was time to leave. So all got ready, and got into their different positions. Then the entire screen showed a man who was supposedly the "The Spotter." checked off stuff of what they needed.

 

Chp7:One week being.

After liftoff, the crew readied everything for when the land at Oobleck. The ship still going through the atmosphere, the inside of the ship was vibration free allowing the crew to move about normally. When they left the atmosphere, the crew already had everything ready to go. So they then started to hang out as if they weren't even going to Oobleck. One day passed and the crew decided to sleep it in. They then set the ship for the course of Oobleck. So the crew on the second day entered the sleep pillar which is below the cockpit. Entered into their personal chamber and set the timer for four days. So all got into their chamber and set the timer and activated it making sleeping gas engulf the chamber forcing the crew to sleep.

 

Chp8: Lucy, we're there!

"Get up you lazy trainee!" as Mo saw Lion yelling and pounding on the

glass cover of the chamber, Mo seeing Lion's arm with bulging nerves. Mo pushed the door open with great force almost hitting LIon and walked up to the cockpit to see Oobleck. Mo dropped his jaw and jumped immediately heating his head on the ceiling. He then dropped and started rubbing his head. Jack arrived in back of Mo and looked out of the cockpit window seeing the green planet only with land as big as Australia. He then got into his seat which took care of landing. Then the rest of the crew was in their seats ready. The ship was ready to land, all sweating like hell practically flooding the cockpit. The ship entered the atmosphere, then is a sudden rush the whole ship was engulfed by heat causing the ship to have parts, fly off the ship which made the crew worried. The whole ship shook as if it was shaken by a earthquake. Mo scared like a little kid in a haunted house, peed in his pants filling the cockpit with the smell of urine.

The cockpit windows was not able to be seen through on account of the atmosphere full of heat covered the ship with a flame coat. The crew shook abruptly with the crew only a seat belt holding them from danger of breaking their skull to ceiling. The whole crew couldn't handle it, they all were having trouble staying in one place. Then in relief, the ship than shot forward with great force leaving an air pocket in the atmosphere as they exited the atmosphere free of heat and pressure. Mo then said regularly as if they did not enter the atmosphere or he peed in his pants,

"Hey yo! What about the wooden platform! Don't you think it burnt out or became fuel for the atmosphere? Huh?"

"No Mo! It's perfectly fine, just as if it didn't go threw the atmosphere. See the platform had a polyphonic clumeria transparent foam" Lion answered in front of them normally.

"Oh and by the way, man, I smell piss in dis ship. Is it you Mo?"

"Of course of not! Um, um, um, okay it was me! But don't tell my earth buddies" Mo scratched his head and replied to Lion.

"Oh well, we're here my fellow astros."

The ship than entered into a green cloud moving slow. When they then emerged out of the cloud they were 10,000 feet high above of the green substance ocean. The ship then transformed from a vertical form to a horizontal shape. They ship lowered quickly forcing the crew's arms to fly up toward the ceiling. The crew looked around seeing the green ocean and mountains which possessed the properties of: blood, the ocean, and mud. They ship stopped in mid air, allowing the camera laser controlled by Jack shot a beam towards the Oobleck hardening the Oobleck giving it a texture of mosaic tiles. The ship then landed first dropping the wooden platform. This resulted in shaking the ship cracking the cockpit glass. Pinky then landed the ship directly on top of the wooden platform which made the whole ship shake almost bursting the cockpit glass. When completely landed the crew took off their seat belts and got up and off their feet and shouted with loud voices. Mo jumped up showing an enormous wet spot that the rest of the crew spotted immediately. They then jumped back away from Mo and told him to change his pants. Mo walked away leaving the smell of urine in the air. When Mo returned, the crew announced that they would allow Sacks to collect the samples. He would go out on his hover board and collect the samples and return to earth. Mo in his mind thinking how easy could this get. So they then walked out of the ship and then they were able to breath easily. But then with no thought they rushed down to see who would be the first to step onto Oobleck. Mo attempted to jump but was caught in mid air by Sacks who caught him by the leg and held Mo out over the stairs easily with no pain to his arm. Sacks then said plainly,

"Grow up."

Walking down the stairs with Mo hanging upside down mumbling, was dropped and landed on his head on top of the platform. He then jumped up with no thought of pain then yelled that he was the first person on Oobleck. The others didn't mind but Sacks then put his palm to his forehead in disappointment. The whole crew then arrived on the platform, had a brief conference about what Sacks was going to do. They all agreed that Sacks would go out to land on his hover board and collect information about this planet, then gather a gallon of Oobleck out by the shore, while the ship would be sucking as much Oobleck into their ship. When Sacks returned, they would return to Earth A.S.A.P. So Sacks then left on his hover board to return in five hours. The crew waved by as Sacks left. Sacks on his hover board, with a jug able to hold a gallon of Oobleck headed for the shore. He arrived at the shore within 10 minutes. From the distance, he soon recognized the blood textured mountains. The land with craters and canyons. While riding through the canyons that were constructed of water, something out of the blue. BAH!

"What the hell?" Sacks said as a laser beam came through the water targeting him. He sped up jumping off a cliff. While in the air, Sacks then saw a enormous city with muscular, human resembling blue aliens walking in and out of buildings that were constructed to resemble temples. Sacks never seen a thing, and landed on yellow dry mud paved road and road his hover board with fright as aliens chased him yelling an unknown language. Shooting at him he road, all the way to the other side of the city. He then gathered a cluster of angry aliens shooting and threatening his life. Then aliens on rock hover motorcycles chased him catching up by the second. Sacks passed a temple full of praising aliens, seeing the aliens in back of him, he then risked his life and stopped instantly forcing the aliens to pass him.

He found a road that lead back up to the ocean, he then took this road with no aliens on his tail. He hurried back to the ship as his life was in danger. Passing through the canyons he was then jumped by an alien no bigger than basketball which slammed Sacks into the canyon wall. Sacks hit the wall causing a big yellow cloud. When Sacks stopped rolling, he saw his hover board still riding on, then exploded as an alien shot at it.

The alien that jumped Sacks, then slapped Sacks in the face. Sacks bleeding from head to toe, pushed the alien off him and ran for the alien which had tumbled away. He tackled the alien and started to angrily attack the alien. Beating on this little alien, the alien started to bleed rainbow colors. Sacks angry pulled his arm back to his head and pounded his fist into the aliens head which resulted into the aliens breaking open and sharing blood all over. Sacks then stood up covered in rainbow colored blood, also with his own blood, started to walk toward the ocean. When he finally reached the ocean, he bent down to relax. Schlllligh! An alien stabbed Sacks in the neck with a gun with a long laser on the tip. Turned Sacks around and held him in the air with his gun, and looked at Sacks independently by himself and talked a language that Sacks couldn't understand. Sacks looked at the alien an said with the last energy left in him,

"Go to He, he, he, basta.."

The alien angered his face and pulled the trigger. BOOM! Sacks' headless dead body flew through air leaving blood where he flew.

The crew was on the platform, witnessing a flash by the shore was then scared. BAH! Sacks' body hit the cockpit window and cracked the window open then landed in the Oobleck right in front of the crew splashing the crew with blood and Oobleck. The crew jumped back and rushed to the cockpit. All of them witnessing this cried on their way toward their seats. Jack saw Mo and said,

"We'll die together."

Mo agreed and got seriously, and yelled to Pinky,

"You ready!"

Pinky yelled back as he saw the glass broken by Sacks dead body,

"Yeah! For Sacks! Going up."

The whole ship started to elevate higher but forgetting to release the platform, the Oobleck held back the ship. Pinky looked out the cockpit's main window in front of them, and saw the muscular, blue aliens in war uniforms on a gigantic platform with rocket launchers aiming for their ship. The ships' crew then ready to die anytime, able to be seen on account of all of them crying for Sacks yelled together,

"For Sacks!"

The whole ship turned around toward the aliens. They then released their "Suicide Bomb" ready to die. After releasing the missile, they flew into the aliens blowing up the planet into pieces.

Chp9:The End.

Back at NASA, they received a picture of the ship blowing up. Then a man named "Buzz" received on top his computer,

"Eezzerth ieezis;neezoweezee ezzoueezreez teezareezgeezeet. " Buzz couldn't translate, so he converted it and the translations was

"Earth is now our next target. You will be next."
