The Adventure of The Maillardians
Chapter 1
The Quest of The Elemental Rings (Part 1)
One beautiful, hot, sunny day at Maillard Middle School...
"Hey Meagan!" Alex shouts at the other side of the school to the other.
"Yo Alex!" Meagan shouts back at him.
They both meet at the front glass door of the school. They walked in enjoying the cool air inside while they walk to their lockers. Alex's locker is at the bottom floor of the three-story building and Meagan's locker is at the second floor.
"Morning Meg." Bobby greets from behind her.
"Oh hi Bob." Meagan replied while she takes her supplies out of her greenish-gray locker.
Meagan has blonde hair, green eyes, and a very weird attitude. She is pretty smart and get mostly A¡¦s on her report card. On the other hand, Bobby has black hair, dark brown eyes. He is one of those guys that don't get mad very easily. And Alex, he gets straight A's all the time. He is a book-a-holic and has a very weird hairdo.
Anyways, all three of them are very good friends and also with a few other people such as Katy, Ruby, and Luzhi. The bell rings at 8:45 and everyone evacuates to their classrooms. Meagan, Bobby, Ruby, and Luzhi are in the same class and Alex and Katy are in a different class. Meagan, Bobby, Ruby, and Luzhi are in Mr. L's class. Alex is in Mr. C's class. And Katy is in Mr. D's class.
"Since today is Monday, we are having math. And this term, we are working on fractions." Mr. L explains. "So this fraction is a proper fraction and this is a improper fraction."
"Yay! Finally 2:45. We can go home now." Alex says hypes up.
The six friends walk out the side green door to the left of the main door and sees that the clear blue sky has just turn dark gray. And not for long it started raining making it impossible to walk home. It is still pouring outside after an hour.
"That's it, I'm walking home raining or not." Luzhi says out loud.
But when she took a step out of the cover a lighting bolt beams right in front of her foot making her backup onto the cover. After a while, everyone in the school has left except for the teachers. All of a sudden a light shown between the clouds and an angel looking creature appear in it.
"What are you?" Ruby asks in curiosity.
"I am Chikyu, the guardian of Earth. I can see everything that's going on around you. I have just sense an evil power in Tokyo Japan and I need help. To prove that you are worth saving the Earth you must find the six legendary element rings that has magical powers.¡¨ Chikyu explains.
"Why don't you just save the world by yourself?" Bobby asks.
"BECAUSE IF I CAN I WON'T BE ASKING FOR YOU HELP YOU IDIOT!" Chikyu shouts.
"Ok ok." Bobby replied.
"How do we know where to look for it?" Katy blurts with a weird look on her face.
Chikyu hold her hand up and snaps three times. A glowing figure appears in front of each of them. After a second the glowing light fade away and they can now see the colors of these advance gadgets. "These gadgets are called ring seekers. It is use to find these mystical rings. Each of these has the power to search for a specific ring." Chikyu points at the small machines. "Bobby, yours is green, so you can find the earth ring. Meagan, yours is red, so yours has the ability to find the fire ring. Alex has the yellow one, which means he can find the lightning ring. Katy has the blue gadget that can find the water ring. Ruby has the white gadget to find the wind ring. And last, Luzhi has the aqua gadget to find the ice ring. When you find all the rings, come back to this place and call my name!¡¨
Chikyu disappears in no less than a second.
"Why am I always the last one!" Luzhi says in a bad mood.
"Well let's split up to find our own rings, ok?" Ruby suggests.
"I think we should go in pairs so we have company." Alex argues.
"Fine, then in pairs it'll be." Katy exclaims stopping the argument.
They partner up with each other and they are all set to go. Alex is with Bobby, Ruby with Luzhi, and Meagan with Katy. They take out their little gadgets and examine the digital map on it. They start to spread out in different directions and say to see each other tomorrow.
**********************************(4:00)
"Bobby, I think mine at the north side of here. About 150 km" Alex tells Bobby.
"I think mine is at the south side of use about 100 km." Bobby replies.
"Ok, then we'll go find yours first and then mine." Alex explains.
They start to walk towards the south side following the map while they walk. They try to find the closest way to get there, so they discuss which road they shall take.
"I have to be home by 6:00." Bobby tells Alex.
"Me too." Alex says.
They start to speed up and in no time they are there. They look all around them but they still can't find the ring anywhere. Then with Alex's intelligent brain, he figures out that since Bobby's element is earth, it must be beneath the ground.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Bobby asks sarcastically.
"Because your dumb." Alex explains.
"Great, we didn't bring anything to dig with." Bobby whines. "Isn't that smart, ALEX."
"Well it's not my fault you're so dumb." Alex argues.
"Ok what ever, lets just dig with our hands." Bobby suggests.
Both boys start to dig for this mystic earth ring.
"I wonder if this is worth it?" Bobby points out.
"Hey I think I see something!" Bobby shouts. "Never mind it's just a garbage can.
"Hey wait a second." Alex stops Bobby from digging.
Alex looks carefully at the garbage can and examines every bit of it.
"Look, it's a ring, it's the earth ring." Alex exclaims.
The earth ring can give the person who wears it super strength and mighty earth and nature power. If that person has enough experience, he or her can turn the whole world upside down.
**********************************(6:00)
"I have to go home now. We'll find the lightning ring tomorrow." Bobby recommends.
"Fine with me." Alex responds.
Both of them start to jog in the opposite direction because they don't want to be late for dinner. Bobby takes out the earth ring. It's a golden ring with a green hexagon shape crystal on it that has the symbol of earth. He puts the ring on and it starts to glow. The greenish light startles both of them. They look at the ring. Soon the ring gets tighter and has been lock to Bobby's pointer finger.
"Aw, now it's stuck." Bobby whines.
"But that's even better because then now nobody can steal it from you." Alex says laughing.
"But it's a little too tight." Bobby whines again.
"Well you have to get use to it." Alex says almost yelling.
**********************************(4:00)
"Ok, where do we start?" Meagan asks Katy.
"How should I know?" Katy talks back.
"Lets find mine first." Meagan commands.
"Fine." Katy agrees.
They started going west because both of the rings are in the west side. They walk about 85 km until they get to the point shown on the digital map. The place is cold and creepy and at the middle of nowhere there is a temple.
"Lets look in there." Katy points in excitement.
"That's what I'm going to do." Meagan says almost a whisper.
They took tiny silent steps towards the old creepy temple. Meg slides the flat sliding door sideways. Meg peaks in while Katy hides behind her back. I think this temple is abandon. They fully open the door and walks in. Every step they take, the floor creaks like it's going to crack.
"You know Meagan," Katy suddenly says, "in these creepy dark temples there might be a lot of spirits and ghosts."
That shock Meagan and she stops shaking a little. Making Katy bump into her.
"Do you think there's any ghosts here?" Meg questions.
"Well it is a temple once. And it probably have a lot of spirits here" Katy whispers.
"Well I don't really care. As long as I don't see one." Meg starts to walk again.
They came in to a room with a fire in the middle of it. They search around the place. Asking each other if they have seen anything.
"Um Meg, I have a question. Why is there a fire here when this place is abandon? Katy asks.
That hit Meagan. She slowly turns her face to the fire hoping that it's not lit bet a ghost. Then something catches her eye. Right inside the pile of fire, there's something shining. There's something inside that fireball. She walks closer trying to determine what it is.
"I FOUND IT!" Meagan suddenly shouts.
Katy jumps and turns around.
"Stop shouting you might wake the spirits up. I'm serious." Katy warns Meagan.
Meagan excitedly reaches her hand in and tries to grab the ring.
"KUSO!" Meagan shouts in pain holding onto the fire ring.
"Hahahaha, use your brain Meagan." Katy laughs.
"Oops, we shouldn't be so loud. We might wake up the spirits." Katy reminds herself.
"You've been watching too much television." Meagan says while the tiny room starts to get foggy. "What is this fog?"
"You have disturbed the spirits Meg." Katy answers silently. "Take her, I'm not the one who disturbed you she is. TAKE HER, TAKE HER"
"Nice friend you are." Meagan says kind of scare right now.
She puts on her fire ring hoping that it'll do something. The fire ring suddenly glows. The bright red light warms the whole room and the fog is getting thinner. They stood there looking at the last of the white cloud vanishes.
'Wow, this ring must have a lot of power.' Meagan thinks. 'I must be the most powerful one. Hehehehe...'
After all that time they have waste, it's time for Meagan to go home. Meagan slowly walks out of the temple expecting Katy to follow which she did. She starts to walk away in the school's direction. Katy just stands there staring at her. Then she finally realizes that she is walking back to school.
"Hey what about my ring?" Katy shouts to Meagan who is getting farther and farther away.
"Huh?" Meagan sounds confuse.
She turns around looking at Katy just realizing that she's there. She's so obsessed with her ring that she forgets Katy is there.
"Oops. I'm so sorry." Meagan apologizes.
"You better be." Katy says angrily.
"Lets look for your ring tomorrow Katy because I really have to go home" Meagan explains.
"I knew this is going to happen." Katy whispers.
"So..." Meagan asks once more.
"Do I have a choice." Katy asks back now glaring at her.
"Well you can go find it yourself. But if you don't want to do that then... no" Meagan replies.
They started to walk home. Meagan admiring her ring and Katy is trying not to look at it. Meagan asks a few times if Katy wants to see her ring but she refuses. The fire ring is exactly like the earth ring but with a fireball sign instead of the earth sign.
**********************************(4:00)
"OK, lets get started." Ruby suggests.
"Sure." Luzhi answers quietly. "Lets find your ring first since mine is farther." Luzhi explains using her brain.
"Ok then, lets go." Ruby says looking at the digital map.
They start walking in the east direction because both of their rings are in the east. Luzhi using her brain again suggests walking a little faster so they might have a chance of finding both of their rings. Ruby agrees and starts to jog.
They have finally reaches the place where the ring should be hidden.
"Lets start to look for it!" Ruby says excitedly.
They start to look for the ring. But after five to ten minutes, they still have no luck. Luzhi tells Ruby to come and discuss about where it can be.
"Well, if it's a wind ring, it should be some where high above the ground." Luzhi says thinking.
"How about on top of that tree?" Ruby replies.
"Yes, that's the only thing here that is high above the ground." Luzhi answers.
They start to climb the tree that seems harder than they expects. Since Luzhi was lighter, Ruby decides to boost Luzhi up. It work and she starts climbing higher and higher. She keeps on climbing until she saw a shiny circular thing on one of the branch.
"There it is. I found it!" Luzhi shouts down to Ruby who is over reacting right now without showing it.
Luzhi takes the shiny ring and climbs back down.
"There." Luzhi gives the ring to Ruby.
"Thank you." Ruby replies.
"Oh, I guess we don't have time to find your ring today." Ruby tells Luzhi feeling upset.
"It's okay, we'll look for it tomorrow." Luzhi smiles cheering Ruby up.Back to Home
