Chapter One
Once upon a time there was a kingdom called Duloc. The people there were happy and loved being healthy and eating healthy food. But one day an evil wizard came and ruined things for them. He loved to be lazy and eat junk food and not exercise at all. He made the people of Duloc eat only junk food and be lazy.
But in the swamp Shrek and Fiona weren't happy about this. They wanted to help the people of Duloc but didn't know how. Later on Shrek's cousin Snowgre came to visit them. He had an idea that might help. "What is it?" Shrek asked him curiously. "I've heard stories of this ogre who came from an island near the North Sea who lives in an airship and always moves but doesn't stand still. We can get him to come and help us!" he explained. "How do we contact him?" Fiona asked him. "You need to send a letter to his airship and then he'll just come." He told her. Fiona then got out a piece of paper and started writing the letter. Shrek was amazed by this story and was intrigued to meet this hero. Fiona then finished writing it.
"But how do we send him it?" she asked worriedly. "There's a post tube on the outskirts of Duloc. Put it in the tube and pull the lever beside it and it'll go to his airship!" he told her. She then went out the door and found the post tube. It was where Snowgre said it would be. She put it in the tube. "I hope this works or Duloc is doomed!" she said as she pulled the lever. The letter tube went shooting off into the sky and out of sight. She then went back home. She and Shrek hoped this would work. Later as everybody in Duloc was asleep , an airship entered the air space and settled above the forest. A door opened and someone walked out on his hands. "Ladder!2 he said but climbed down it. It was Ogrecus. He was the hero Snowgre had told them about.
He had Fiona's letter in his hand. He wore a black sports bandanna around his head with black goggles on top of it, a black sports gilet with a silver crystal across it with the number 18 on it. He was also wearing tracksuit bottoms with white stripes on the sides as well as two black and silver armbands on his green arms. He wanted to explore Duloc but realised everyone was asleep so he back flipped up the ladder and back into the airship. Puss had seen this and was amazed by this but he had a feeling he'd seen Ogrecus before but couldn't remember where.
It was early morning and Fiona had gotten up early and took a walk in the forest. She saw the airship and gasped. The hero from Snowgre's story was here! Suddenly she saw someone jump from the air ship onto the ground near her. "Hello I'm Ogrecus!" he said to her. "Are you the hero who's going to stop the evil wizard from making Duloc lazy?" she asked curiously. "Yes I am. I think an evil wizard came here to make everybody here lazy but I can help!" he told her. She smiled at this. He then followed her to her and Shrek's swamp doing back flips all the way there. Meanwhile the evil wizard wasn't happy that Ogrecus was here but got an idea. He then used a spell that turned candy into healthy food and laughed. In the swamp Puss was telling Shrek and Snowgre about what he'd seen last night. He didn't know if they believed him or not. Fiona then came in through the door. Ogrecus then back flipped and landed on the table on his feet. "It's the hero from your story1 He came to stop that evil wizard and help Duloc!" she told them excitedly. But suddenly his crystal beeped with light. "Someone's in trouble! I'm sorry but I've got to go!" Ogrecus told them. "Come on! Let's go see what's going on!" Fiona said as she followed him. Shrek, Snowgre and Puss followed her. They were unaware of what had happened in Duloc….
