CHAPTER 1 - MISSION BRIEFING

"No, no, no I want to live," said William Shakespeare. "Give me another chance ghosts! I've been a good person please." Shakespeare woke to find it was just a big nightmare. Alas, something was wrong, there wasn't an ounce of sun blinding through his fancy windows. There weren't even any windows. There weren't any statues that Shakespeare had in his room. There was only a creaky fragile door and an ancient loft. A voice boomed into Shakespeare's ears. "You have been captured; some warriors are coming to speak to you Mister Shakespeare," said the mysterious voice. Shakespeare's heart jolted sideways. "Who are you and why have I been captured?" But Shakespeare didn't receive an answer. There was an annoying fuzzy sound instead.

"James!" screamed Kerry

"What?! What is it? You're shouting the whole place down. I'm busy anyway; a Head teacher has got a lot of work to do you know."

"My fav writer has been kidnapped!"

"I'm not your boyfriend anymore, leave me alone." Ned came strolling in with a worried face. "Hey guys," said Ned.

"Hey Ned," said James and Kerry.

"Yoda told me that he has to talk to you and a bunch of other people," said Ned.

"About what?" asked James.

"Something about a famous writer who has been kidnapped." James gasped.
"So it's true Kerry."

"Yep but YOU didn't listen to me!"

"Alright that's enough love birds," said Ned.

"Anyway so, who is this mysteriousssss write?" asked James.

"Oh, Shakespeare," answered Ned. "As an English teacher, I want to save him." "Isn't that funny?" said Kerry.

"What?" asked Ned.

"I want to save him to." Ned sighs.

"There's a catch."

"Pardon me?"

"A catch."

"What?" Kerry sighs happily.

"Master Yoda is picking certain people from the group, half go and the other half is not."

"Darn!"

"Alright, calm down Kerry!" said James.

"Let's go to Master Yoda guys," said Ned.

"Yeah we should go as soon as possible," protested Kerry.

"Master, master, master am I in the…"

"Mission, you are in!" spluttered Master Yoda.
"What is it with you and Shakespeare?" asked James "Are you in love, do you want to marry the guy?"

"No! So tell us about the mission Master." Master Yoda spent ten minutes talking to them, until a familiar face came into the room. It was Mac, the former Chairman of Cherub. Everyone greeted him. He shortly gave them their mission briefings. James, Kerry, Gabrielle, Ned, Johnny, Ben, Lauren, Jade, Gwen, Kevin Levin, Dana, Bethany, Kevin (Cherub), Jake, the other Jake (American Dragon), Rose, Bart, Rat, Ronan, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Joanna, Hannah, April and Bruce were the chosen people for the mission. Master Yoda said that he needed this many people because it is a special mission. Another thing he said was that the mission will take place in San Francisco. The last thing he said was some may die or be hurt badly. Dana cursed under her breath. "Share your cursing with us, would you Miss Smith?" asked Master Yoda. "I hate you all especially you two, James and Ned!" said Dana. She ran out of the building and stole a Ferrari from the Cherub parking lot. "That girl has some serious problems," said James.

"Tell me about James," said Kerry.

"I can't believe I went out with her!" said James. They got into Mac's massive bus and set off to Diagon Alley. Yoda had sent Ginny Weasley to replace Dana, the mad Girl.

Harry's scar started to sting like hell. "What is it Harry, are you hurt?!" shouted Ginny. "Yes, it's alright though. Anyway, why do you care so much about me?" asked Harry. "Isn't it obvious?" whispered James in Harry's ear.

"What's obvious?" asked Harry.
"She fancies you mate! Ever since the Chamber of Secrets when I saw Ginny holding your hand."
"What, that's preposterous!"
"Sooner or later you're gonna have to realize it."
"Anyway, I hear this is the biggest mission yet and Master Yoda is sending more Jedi," said Ned.
"More?" asked Harry.

"Yes," answered James. "I think Beanie is coming and Sebastian."

"Those two are the perfect boyfriends you can have," said Gabrielle.

"Why?" asked Ned.

"Because all they want to do is love and care for you, not like some boys I've met," said Kerry.

"We have finally reached Diagon Alley everyone!" said Mac.
"Hey there Mac!" said Beanie.
"Ah, you made it Beanie and Sebastian," said Mac.
"Why do you think we're in Diagon Alley anyway mate?" asked Beanie.

"I don't know, but I've got a hunch it's about magic," answered Sebastian.

"Now, I want everyone to practice saying Diagon Alley," said Mac.

Everyone chanted it to themselves ten times, until they entered the floo powder chamber. "Now guys, don't say diagonally like Harry did not so long ago," said Mac. Harry laughed nervously. Mrs. Weasley, George and Fred left Ollivanders. "Oh Mac, have you come to visit us?" asked Mrs. Weasley.

"No, we are going on the biggest mission yet," answered Mac.

"Well, can George and Fred come?"

"Sure the more the merrier," said James.

"George! Fred! You're going on the biggest mission ever!" said Mrs. Weasley.

"Thanks mum!" said Fred and George. They run into the Diagon Alley space.

"Oh no you don't! I need to brief you two on the rules first!" said Mrs. Weasley.
"Rules?!" shouted Fred and George.

"Yep", said Mrs. Weasley!

"No tricks, no swearing, no crazy spells, etcetera. You'll find the rest of the rules on this sheet I prepared for you two." They scan it through. "Mac says you did even one of these things, and I will ground you for four months!"

"Okay mum." They both sigh.

"Okay, let's go to the mission base," said Mac.

"Who are you four?" asked Shakespeare. "Why do you look so orange?"

"Eh? Orange," said Gan. "Beat him up Zhen!" He lunged at Shakespeare. Some of Harry's friends were nearby and heard the commotion. They barged the door down and pulled out their wands. "You four are gonna be crying when we're done with you!" said a Ravenclaw. The Dark Warriors overpowered them and kidnapped them. Their master, Daolon Wong, summoned them forth. "Report to me Gan, Ren and Chui!" They gulped. "Why not Zhen?" asked Ren.

"Just report to me in the next two minutes, otherwise you'll be suffering another Dark Chi Realm!"

"What's going on?" asked Shakespeare.

"Shut up!" shouted Wong.

"No need to be rude!" shouted Shakespeare.
"Silence! Soon I shall possess your chi!" boomed Wong.

"My chi? What is chi?" asked Shakespeare.
"You will know in time when I suck it out with my bear hands! I just need to prepare some elite chi spells and some elite warriors. AHAAHAAHAA!"
