chapter 5

Calvin and Hobbes sat around a camp fire.

They were telling scary stories.

"And then...." Calvin hissed in his scariest voice, "Susie walked down stairs only to find a foggy mist drifting along the ground!"

Hobbes's eyes grew wide.

"And then...." Calvin paused for dramatic effect. "The bug-eyed monster leaped from the shadows and GOT 'ER!"

Hobbes screamed.

Calvin laughed.

"Your turn." Calvin chuckled.

Hobbes wiped the sweat from his brow, and said,

"there once was a guy in the jungle that got eaten by tiger. There. Can we go to bed now?"

Calvin rolled his eyes around. "well I am kinda sleepy." he said.

"Good, now we can..." Hobbes stopped.

he stared out into the darkness, his eyes wide.

"What are you looking at?" yawned Calvin.

Hobbes didn't answer, but continued to stare off into the darkness. "What's that smell?" he asked quietly.

Calvin sniffed the air. At once, a terrible, musky, smell filled his nostrils.

He coughed. "GAD!" he yelled. "THAT SMELLS HORRIBLE! WHAT IS IT!"

Hobbes held his hand up to silence Calvin.

"Lets go check it out." he whispered.

Calvin an Hobbes stood up, and began to walk toward the smell.

Just then Hobbes stopped. and Calvin ran into him, and nearly had a heart attack.

"Shh!" Hobbes hissed.

He looked around. "Hobbes I see nothing, and the smell is gone."

Calvin yawned, and leaned against a tree.

Calvin was shocked when the tree gave way, and a trap door opened up, sending the two hurdling down a dark tunnel. Screaming the whole way. But they hit soft ground.

Calvin uncovered his eyes, and looked around.

"HOBBES!" he exclaimed. Hobbes opened one eye.

Seconds later the other eye popped open.

Calvin had pushed a secret lever, and now Calvin and Hobbes were in a dark, underground passageway.

But it wasn't so dark that Calvin and Hobbes didn't see skulls lined up around the tunnel.

"I must find their designer." Hobbes said studying a skull that lie in the dust.

"What's that?" Calvin whispered.

Hobbes looked up.

It was then that he heard voices.

Calvin and Hobbes tiptoed down the dark tunnel, till they came to a door that was open a crack.

That crack was just enough to shed some light into the tunnel.

The voices were loud, now. Calvin pressed his ear against the door, and listened.

A high, shrill, hacksaw voice cut through the silence. "You fool! Why haven't you caught the Supreme Earth Potante, yet! Have you been messing with those liquid forms of Earth entertainment!"

then a more squeaky voice answered. "My apologies, master, my troops haven't caught up with him yet, but we're hot on his trail."

"You better be." the first voice hissed. "Ever since he ran away from that stupid form of..... what is it? Sapper Map?"

"Summer camp, master." the second voice replied.

"Whatever." said the first voice. "Ever since he ran away from that Earth activity, our plans have been in complete shambles!"

Calvin and Hobbes exchanged glances.

"Tell your troops to work harder! We need to find him before that Earth rescue team finds him! GO!"

there was much scrambling in the room, then silence.

Calvin and Hobbes peaked inside. The room was totally empty except for a table, with a bunch of papers on it.

Calvin rushed inside, grabbed the papers, and raced back to Hobbes.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Hobbes hissed. "You can't take that!"

Calvin ignored him, and raced back down the tunnel.

Hobbes followed. Back at the tent, Calvin and Hobbes felt very un-easy.

Calvin raced into the tent, and pulled his backpack out.

he rummaged through all the junk, till he came to his baseball bat.

He handed it to Hobbes. Who stared at him. "What's this?" he asked.

"Smack anything that comes out, buddy." Calvin said.

And with that, he dove into the tent.

"HEY! WHY DO I HAVE TO STAND GUARD!" Hobbes yelled. "WHY CAN'T YOU DO IT?"

Calvin ignored him. He studied the papers. His eyes growing wide as he read them.

TOP SECRET

operation: kill Earth

since our Capture of two small aliens; Galaxoid and Nebular, we have learned of a planet called Earth. Being run by a Supreme Earth Potante called Calvin. Learning of this planet gave us a great idea. We, the Zartchers of planet Zok will take Earth and turn it into a army ground to kill other planets! But first we must dispose of the SEP. which shouldn't be to hard.

Calvin stopped reading. And for a very good reason. He had fainted, right on the spot, and didn't wake till morning.
