Living Near the Oobleck

One day mission Ex-Heal was on its way to see and feel the Oobleck on Planet Oobleck. They had the ship packed with enough water to last 3 years, but they had only four people who had good talents. One was Scott, A scientist who studies other planets and knows a lot about almost everything.There was Relyt, a guy who landscapes planets with no air, with his finger he could make any plant grow. There was also Trops, a man who was well known for his strength and also his knife, he could kill or injure anything. Last, but not least there was Traf, a chef. He could cook anything he wanted to with his three different size pots. He could take dirt, oobleck, (a green watery but hard substance) or rocks and cook up the best food you have ever eaten and he could make it taste different but good every time. They traveled to their destination: Planet Oobleck in 20 minutes from Earth. They then tried to land. They set the ship down on the oobleck ocean. All of a sudden, they started sinking and they could not get out. Then Scott turned the air pressure on and they blew up out of the ocean and fell onto land.

Soon they set up a camp and Relyt grew many trees although the place was super hot with not much water. Traf made some food. And Scott went around looking at things yelling "Wow!" every time he saw something cool. Trops set up every ones tents all near his just incase some one or something tried to attack them. When everything was set they ate Traf's wonderful tasting food made of the hot dirt. They were amazed that the tales of Traf and his cooking were really true. After they ate they all said thanks and they went to go and rest for the following day. Then all of a sudden, early in the morning a bunch of animals came. They seemed to be dancing, but all of a sudden they were spiting out these acid things. It hit Trops but when it hit him he got mad and it hurt him a little but not enough to make him run away. He looked at the animals and ran after them stabbing each on in its head. Every one was stunned at seeing him running so fast and killing all the creatures that they didn't see the animals going around their spaceship. The animals were looking in the spaceship and jumping around it looking curiously at everything in it. Trops saw them ran, and jumped after them. Soon they were all dead. After a while they noticed that the animals had green blood coming out of them. Then after they lost a lot of the green stuff they just disappeared. All the blood and the animal just disappeared. Scott found this very cool. He wanted Trops to go and look for more of these creatures and bring one to him back alive so he could study it. Trops said, "Okay I'll go see what I can find for you, but what if I can't find the weird creatures?"

Scott replied, "Then come back and we will think about it."

Trops searched half the planet for these creatures, but couldn't find even one trace of them. He went back to camp and saw that everyone was in there tents. They all had scared looks on their faces. Trops asked them, "Hey what happened?"

They looked at him, and only Relyt could answer. He said, "The. The things that attacked. More came. They were different. Bigger. Stronger. Uglier… They almost killed us then a moment before you came they backed off.

Trops said, "Okay… I guess I'm not leaving you guys here alone again..."

In about an hour they all got over their near death experience. From then on they decided they work together. They would make weapons and when one person goes somewhere they all go. Scott still wanted a closer look at the creatures. He kept thinking of how they disappeared so quickly. It was now nighttime and Traf once again made a delicious meal for their dinner. Now, every one had some kind of gun or weapon to protect them selves and they were all suppose to hold their weapons at all times, even when they were sleeping. One day they all decided to go search the planet for animals and creatures that lived on the planet. So together they went on a journey across the planet. By the end of they day they had gone in a complete circle back to their camp. They found nothing unusual on the whole planet. They hadn't seen even one of the animals that attacked them or any othercreature. They went back to Trops tent, because it was biggest and had a table and chairs. They discussed about the animals. They decided the creatures only come when Trops isn't there. Another thing they all agreed on is that the animals must have a home in the oobleck. They made a plan that Trops would act like he wasn't there, but watch out for any of the animals. The started the plan. Trops went into the back and hid behind a rock. Their plan did work. Soon the animals showed up. Many came at once. Trops saw that they were right and the animals came from the oobleck. Which was near their campsite. Then Trops came out and scared all the animals away. This time they all followed the animals back. They found an inside city far below the Oobleck Ocean. The place was very advanced. It had many things even Scott had never seen in his life and could not explain how it worked. The animals stopped and turned. They saw Scott, Traf, Trops, and Relyt. They said, "Hello, You have finally followed us in. We have been waiting for you to come in, but why did you kill our men?

Trops answered, "They attacked us. I killed them in self defense."

The alien animal who they soon found out his was name was Mojo said, "They came to help you, we saw your ship land and we wanted to see what the problem was. We didn't send any fighters until you were gone out. Then we figured out what was wrong. You ran out of fuel for you boosters. And there was some oobleck in your engine. We sent men when you were gone because we observed that you were the fighter. Our men have already fixed you ship.

They thanked them and went on there way back out. They were happy that they had a chance to see advancement and evolution. Scott had recorded and learned how to make many different machines not yet known to man. He wrote down all the things he thought was interesting. Which was almost every thing. They went back to Planet Earth and became billionaires. There new discoveries were made and Earth was now known for its most advances in everything.
