Careful Mal!
Malachite was working on his ship, he promised the people here he would help them. He was soon finished and sat up and saw a small bottle of water, a small girl smiled
"Here," she said softly, Mal nodded and took it
"Thank you," Malachite smiled
"It's not much, water is hard to come by, but we have lots!" she smiled, "There is an attack at dawn and if that fails, at dusk," she got up and left. Malachite was alone again, he sighed
"I hope I can get home soon..." Malachite sighed, "I hope mum's ok," Malachite was disturbed from his thoughts by the ground rumbling, he yelling in surprise and jumped to his feet
"Battle Stations! Now!" boomed a loud voice, Mal jumped to his feet and saw other people run to ships and he jumped in his own, he got everything set up and took off. For the first time he saw what outside the hideout was like, the sky was blood red and the ruins of a once grand city lay before him, the only standing building was a large palace. He growled and on the ground was thousands of armed troops. He saw a few people shooting at them and some jets in front him him fire at him. He rolled out the way and countered, getting a direct hit. After for what seemed hours, he had destroyed 12 ships and a few footmen, but he has taken a lot of hits and was on his lasts legs.
"Be Careful Malachite!" a young teen his age told him "There are more jets up ahead!"
"Ok," Malachite replied. And sure enough, hundreds of fighter jets appeared. They flew in different directions and started firing at them, Malachite wasn't as lucky as the others and was hit in the tail of his ship, he growled and activates his helicopter blades and got some control over his already falling ship. This type of landing uses the air and wind to spin the blades to slow down the fall. It is called the Sycamore Landing. (it's true! I saw it on TV when it was talking about helicopters!)
"Whoa! Where did ya learn that!" the leader, Kai, asked
"Meh, here and there," Malachite replied and landed near the base. It was hard going but at dusk, the army left and everyone returned back.
"Are you ok Malachite?" a little girl asked
"I'm fine, don't worry," Malachite replied, he looked up at the sky.
So...this is what are war is like...
