And so it begins...

Vladimir Putin slammed his fist on the desk.

"How dare those Americans!" he boomed, echoing across the rooms, "They have set of the final remaining spaceship and it has started off the space race from where it left off! Dmitri!"

Dmitri Berchetov walked into the room. He was one of Putin's best spies.

"Dmitri!" said Putin, "Go up into space and finish off this race once and for all! I shall be sending my troops up there shortly!"

Dmitri nodded.

"Yes sir!" said Dmitri, who walked out of the room.

Meanwhile, Harry, Ron and Hermione were trying to get their balance, when suddenly the gravity dissapeared away and they floated to the top of the ship.

"AH!" yelled Harry, as he hit his head on the top of the ship.

The ship picked up speed and then began to slow down.

"Hermione this is waht you get for starting up the ship!" screamed Ron.

Hermione just shook her head.

"You are so childish." said Hermione, "This is one of the wonderful inventions of mankind!"

Then, with a crash the gravity appeared back and they all fell to the bottom of the ship.

They all got up and looked around.

The looked out the window.

It was a red planet. It was Mars!

The wind picked up red dust and swirled it around the sky.

"Oh wow!" said Harry, picking up the astronaut suit that lay on the ground next to him and putting it on. He wanted to be the first to explore this new island.

Hermione and Ron looked for another suits.

"Hey!" they screeched together, "There's only one suit!"

They started to fight like animals to get the suit.

Meanwhile, Dmitri had landed on Mars with his Jet-Pack and saw them all fighting inside the spaceship.

"Well..." said Dmitri, "This is going to be easier than I thought..."
