The Red Skulls Secret, by Agnes
Prologue
This is a story about a crystal that wasn’t a crystal at all. The crystal was as silver as metal. As slippery as water. As sparkly as the stars and as pointy as a sword.
Chapter One: The Crystal
I ran through the house. Pang! Pang! Pang! I was really excited to go on a mission. You might be wondering, what do I mean by mission? Well you see, I was a girl in the house but a hero to the world. Three years ago I found a silver crystal that led me to an incredible adventure. That’s why I have the power to be as fast as a cheetah and a whipping wind.
You also might realise that I have a watch or you might think it’s a wrist band. And that’s right. It is called a Comlink. All my friends have one. The Comlink lets me turn into a tiger bat also known as “The White Tiger”. So I ran into the forest near my house. That forest is very special. It has a very gloomy dark cave. The cave itself was very dark. But the forest was full of light from the sun. The leaves and plants stretched their way out. The trees loomed high above my head. The bark on the trees were very rough. This was my big, huge, ginormous secret. The grass was wet and soggy today. My little pet was supposed to be a secret as well. My pet white tiger, Lightning Bolt scratched at the trees. Scratch! Scratch! Scratch!
Chapter Two: The Red Skull
I gently pressed the charge button on my Comlink and bursts of light swirled around me. A uniform made from dragon fabric appeared. You see, dragon fabric is a material and fabric that is magically protected with dragon magic.
Then I jumped on a mat in my animal power headquarters and said my name, (Tiger Bat or White Tiger). Then the sparks faded slowly, and then I could see my crystal on the crystal stand. It sparkled and it glowed. I picked up a book, inside was a spirit named Red Skull. The book has come out of the crystal. I had heard the sound before. It went click! Click! I was afraid when I heard the name. I felt my blood turn cold. The Red Skull was a skull conjured by the spirit of an evil genius who was determined to take over the world. I knew I needed to go and find him. I felt my blood turn even colder. The Red Skull was made from hot burning lava, the golden elixir and blood. The golden elixir is a special liquid and if you drink the golden elixir from its fountain you will turn into the fountain itself.
Chapter Three: A Friend is Always Here to Help
I entered the dark, damp gloomy cave. I know he’s there because of the crystal. I was scared so I turned into a spirit. Then I heard a sound not a tiny, not a middle, but a big, huge, ginormous ROAR! ROAR! I nearly jumped out of my skin. I was terrified! Finally, I realised that it came from a big pack of white tigers. SCRATCH! SCRATCH! The tigers have come to help me. Then I saw a wall. It was huge. I thought for a minute. I finally thought of an idea. “CLAWS!” I shouted and claws sprang from my hands. I began to climb the wall. My tiger friends followed me up the wall.
Chapter Four: The Big Attack
I gasped. I saw the Red Skull right in front of me! The Red Skull was flying. I gashed my teeth together and I ran and I dived down with my bat wings. I stung him with my sting claws.
I went as fast as I could, dodging the Red Skull attack. Fire balls and blood splats. Finally, I managed to defeat him, there was a whoosh of air and the spirit and the Red Skull went into the spirit realm. Back at my home, I told my mum and dad my secret. Was that a dream? Was that real? Maybe I will find out soon!
