= = =The Magic Dragon=

He was looking for us. We could see him glancing around. He was like a ghost. He had a sword but that could not stop us.We where to flying high for him to see. We flew down so we could find our master. He got left behind, because he slipped off the dragons back. He was behind a giant diamond ,suddenly the dark lord saw him. He got to my master before us. We chased him, then he stopped. My master said a spell "the runner gets confused and stays for a hour." Then my master got free. We went to our underground house. The dragon gave us weapons. For me a diamond sword and gold armor, my brother secret powers that could protect him. We went out side to look for the dark lord.He was looking for us. We saw a bush move, then my brother got dragged underground. Then everything went black. I woke up with my master. He said, " I could not fight the dark lord for five days,". Then I fell asleep for the night. I had a dream what the dark lord looked like. He had a hood so he could not show his face, a black shirt and a long black skirt. He was very mysterious. The only animals that knew his name were the black magic dragons. He had a whole army of unknown creatures. They attacked us once and that is why I am here. Then I woke up. I had flashbacks of my family. I remembered my name. It was Alan. Alan Stick man. My master came in. He asked me something that I did not understand. He said to me "Akita slum her clafdee? ", It meant do you want to practice? It was a language called tape tongue. I said "I would love to but am I still healthy enough?,". "Yes", my master said. He got an ax and cut off a dummy's eyeball off. I cut it off in 16 hits. My master created a new weapon called a laser canon. The dark lord stole one. It was super powerful it could kill a dragon in one lethal shot.

=Chapter 2 The Big War=

5 days later a message sender gave us a message. It said "We want to fight you. Go to the battlefield. The next day we saw the great army. It was made up off dangerous giant birds and bears. It was us versus the dark lord and his army. At first we tried to destroy their spiky humans. Then the dragons used the fire breath. Most of the spiky humans died. All that didn't die retreated. Goblins came when everybody was asleep except for my bother, my master and I. I slashed a goblins eyeball out. 17 goblins surrounded me. I used a laser canon to shoot their captain. I then used a sword to kill every goblin but one. A giant one. He weight as much as 10 elephants and was as wide as a house. I threw a sword at him. It hit his eye. He fell. "Know wonder my master taught me how to do that. We fought quill men. They could shoot quills out of their back! We fought them. They almost killed me! The quill men were fierce but not fierce enough. The magic dragons were too good.

Black magic dragons vs magic dragons. Our team used a spell called "dragons can not fight till a human dies"It was me, my brother, and my master vs the dark lord. I secretly took a laser canon and shot the dark lords hood off.It was my masters sister! He was not a he, he was a she! When my master saw her she let us kill her. Then all of the dragons woke up. we fought and fought till we lost. My master got beheaded and all of the dragons were dead. Then I spotted 5 black magic dragons. To big feet squashed them, it was a legendary dragon.It was the queen. We thanked her and went back to our under ground house.

= = = = = = =Gorge The Spy=

A secret agent named Gorge goes on vacation, Gorge knows there is going to be trouble so he brings all his spy gear. It's his first vacation in over a decade

2 hours later...

After a long drive that Gorge thought was an eternity, Gorge finally got to have some fun. Gorge planned to bunjy jump. Gorge put his vest when he heard a car door slam, then he jumped.

Gorge never felt him self bouncing up so Gorge looked up and he saw a man holding a pair of extra large scissors. Then Gorge looked up and saw the ground, it was to close. Right when Gorge thought he was going to die Gorge jolted up, it was his wife and children Joey, and Joe. His wife Martha shouted " You idiot why didn't you look at the car door it was your worst enemy John Alvarez"

Gorge changed the subject to saying " Where are we going to eat"

Martha said "Oh just the Borgini Itallian Palace"

Gorge shouted "What! Thats the most EXPENSIVE restaurant in the world!"

"Honey were on vacation remember? We have to relax you know?"

Gorge shouted in defeat "Say what ever you want to but I just have one thing to say. How can I relax when I have to worry about a $10,000 meal!?"

Martha said "Oh just forget about it Ok? Ok.

One dinner time later...

Gorge jumped up in shock when half of the building exploded Gorge fainted in fright.

Gorge woke up when his wife was about to dump a bucket of water on Gorge. Gorge said "are you crazy Martha"

and Martha jumped back in fright spilling all the water on her dress. She quickly recovered and said" Joe's arm exploded in the restaurant"

Gorge got joe and rushed to the hospital.

10 long minuets later

They put a robotic arm on Joe when a nurse asked to talk to Gorge privately. The nurse took of his costume, he had a name tag and it read **__JOHN ALVAREZ__** Gorge had a moment of de je vu, now he remembered but John said "I know I sent my child, Zack to spy on your child, Sammy".

Right then John pulled out a pen with a hole at the end a bullet was inside, it was a gun! Jhon tried to shoot Gorge but missed Gorge pulled out a knife and threw it at John he died! Then a copy of john came out of a door he pulled out a sword and said "if you give me the Dematerialiser and you won't find your self in two pieces"

So Gorge gave John a pen and John said " this Is a **__PEN!__**"

So Gorge said" click it "

John did and found himself in the middle of the ocean! John desperately searched for the Dematerialiserbut found nothing and he lost all of his breath!

Gorge went to his home base and he packed up his suitcase and retired at age 51.

I think why the flag #2 is gray is because all of the color is drained out of the flag for all of the people who died in the war. and I think white flag is sort of sad because it is dull. I think flag is really happy because it is not fading at all. It makes me think like flag has a very happy life and white flag is hard working

=Plants= =habitat section:=

The Zryo plants natural habitat is the tropical rain forest.In the rain forest there are usually has 80 to 180 inches of rain every year, it is very hot in the rain forest, plants grow very fast and use up all organic material from decomposing plants, in the rain forest there are plants everywhere some leaves drop down to let rain water get out.

=Adaptations:= The Zryo plant has waxy surfaces to push away water, shallow roots that spread out so it can get more nutreints from the soil, it is very tall so it can let the leaves reach the sun light, it has Very large leaves to get as much sun light as possible, it has lots of roots so it can get a lot of nutreints, its flowers are sweet smelling and they are yellow, blue and red, most of the leaves are on the top of the plant to get the most sun light, it has lots of long branches to hold the leaves.

=The life cycle=

The Zryo plant is a perennial plant. It starts out as a small pineapple, then it grows into a tall oily green plant that has very large tall leaves, many long branches, shallow roots. After the Zyro plant is finished doing this it grows taller, after it is taller then all the rest of the trees it starts growing a giant flower on top of the of the Zryo plant and smaller flowers at the bottom. All of the flowers are blue, red and yellow in color. After some animals pollinate the flowers they grow small pineapple like fruit that get eaten by animals so they get spread around. Then the process gets repeated till the plant dies.

=Description of plant=

The Zryo plant has flat roots. They are very long and spread out a lot so they can collect lots of rain water and nutreints as possible. The stem/leaves have a greenish-whitish color. The Zryo plant is normally about 75-100 feet tall. Its flowers have a sweet-smelly smell and are red, blue and yellow. The Zryo plant is herbaceous. When it produces fruit the fruit is like a small pineapple. There are about 60 leaves on the stem, they are all giant leaves. All the leaves are between the 35 foot mark and the 70 foot mark. there is a giant flower on the top. Most small flowers are on the bottom of the plant (between the 5 foot mark and the 25 foot mark

Alex, Your work here looks really good. You may want to try to add a few more details about the roots of your plants in the description part. Mr. K.

I returned to huge forces and tension gathering over earth. When they saw me, they opened fire, so began a huge battle, with me in the middle of it. I was trained for this, melt. The cover over my ship melted. Go with the flow. I found some stick fighters and joined them. Dive, I'm out. Those forces will probably destroy each other. The Iggwn will just keep sending people up from the base... but I can get into the base and destroy it! I dove. Through exoshere ... stratosphere. Into topasphere. I just went into portalsphere... wonder what that is, I landed and got out. An entrance to Antartica. There was the slot... I stuck the key in the doors opened. I got in my star ship and drove in. We were in a basesphere I jumped out as we landed. 13 dases? Maybe if I could penetrate the air bubble. I walked through the bases. There was nobody. I threw chinks to penetrate air bubbles, and got out of there. Seconds later, the chinks exploded. The Ex-sue stood on the Holo-form over the Holo prison. Hecan fessed to being leader of the bubble pirates and middle town gung, the galaxy no rule of terror

DRAFT FOR GARRETT MORGAN

Before Garrett Morgan became famous On March 4th 1877 Garrett Morgan was born in Paris, Kentucky. Garrett's parents were slaves, When Garrett was in his teens Garrett moved to Cincinnati, Ohio to look for his job. Garrett's education ended when Garrett finished elementary school, so Garrett got a tutor and continued learning at Cincinnati. Garrett opened a shop for repairing and selling sewing machines in 1907. In 1909 he added a tailoring shop, which had 32 employees. In 1920 Garrett wanted to start the Cleveland Call news paper. He became a very respected business man. After this he bought a car and house.

Garrett's first invention. After Garrett bought a car Garrett saw a collision between a car and carriage so he decided to create the traffic light. The first traffic light had only two lights and was hand cranked. The first light (Green) was for proceeding, the second (Red) for stop, and was powered by gas. one time a traffic light exploded and the operator was injured

Garrett's Inventions. Some of Garrett's inventions were the: Safety Hood (Gas Mask), Traffic Light and the sewing machine that sewed in a zigzag direction.

Safety Hood (Gas Mask): The Safety Hood (Gas Mask) was a hood that had two tubes coming out of the back. One had a wet sponge to filter out air so you could breath clean air and the other for exhaling air.

Traffic Light: The traffic light that Garrett Morgan invented was very basic. It had two different signals: a green light for go and a red light for stop, It had to be manually switched from stop to go and was gas powered. One of them exploded so Garrett sold it to General Electrics so they could improve it.

Sewing Machine that sewed in a zigzag direction: Garrett's Sewing Machine was very unique because it could sew in zigzag lines!

Garrett Saves A Life! In Garrett's home town firefighters needed a new way to enter fires, so luckily they had Garrett. Garrett invented the Safety Hood, more known as the Gas Mask. After the Gas Mask in July 24 1916 a tunnel 200 feet under Lake Erie collapsed! 32 men were trapped! So they sent a rescue party but it never returned! So they called Garrett and he arrived with his brother both wearing Gas Masks. Garrett went down and got people. 21 people died!

After Garrett's Inventions After Garrett's great inventions Garrett got Glaucoma (A disease that makes you loose your vision) And lost 90% of his vision! His death was in July 27 1963 and now our world is a safer place because of Garrett Morgan!
