Puppet Soldiers
Chapter 2
Allen Abernathy was walking around Bodega Bay taking in the wonderful sites. Today is his 13th birthday and as a birthday present, he and his family went to Bodega Bay to relax and have fun. Allen a scrawny kid and he used to be a big trouble maker, getting kicked out of two different schools for things like vandalism. His hair is a chestnut color and his hair is cut similarly to that of a page boy hair cut.
It has been a year since he, with the help from the monstrous but kindly Gorgonites, took down the Commando Elite army. Luckily, Allen managed to destroy a nearby telephone pole and cause an EMP blast to take down the army. Somehow the Gorgonites managed to hide under a giant satellite dish, which saved them from the blast. Afterwards, Allen took them to the nearby river with one of the toy boats that his father had in the toy store and the Gorgonites sailed out to find "Gorgon", though Allen thought that they would never find it. But he hoped they would find a place like it and call it their home.
He sighed as his hazel eyes looked up towards the sky. As he walked through the park, he suddenly heard a yell that he hadn't heard for a long time. It sounded like…Chip Hazard, the leader of the Commandos! But it couldn't be! He was supposed to be dead like the other Commandos! Suddenly, Allen remembered that after Gil Mars, CEO of Globotech and Heartland Toys, paid both his family and his family's rivals, the Fimples, so they wouldn't tell about this incident, he talked to Larry Benson and Irwin Wayfair about making the Commandos again so they can go "take care of" the South American rebels. Somehow those toys must've escaped Globotech in order to look for the Gorgonites.
There was another yell, but this one different. Allen tried to think of whose yell it was. It then hit him like a ton of bricks. It was Archer, leader of the Gorgonites! Didn't he along with the others leave to find Gorgon? He stopped in his track as he noticed some of the branches in a bush start to move as if someone was in there. The bush began to shake violently until 7 figures came running out. It took Allen by surprise at first, but then he noticed that the 7 figures were actually all the Gorgonites. At first he was excited to see them, until he noticed the 5 figures chasing them. The 5 figures were the Commandos! "Come back here you Gorgonite scum!" one of the Commandos yelled.
Quickly, Allen took off his sky blue backpack that he was wearing and put it near the ground for the Gorgonites to escape to. The Gorgonites, not know it was actually Allen giving them someplace to hide, ran right into the backpack. Allen the closed the backpack most of the way and placed it on his back and started running. He, being larger and having longer legs, gave him an advantage and he easily lost the Commandos. He ran right back to the hotel and he ran right into the hotel room his family gave all to himself. He set the backpack on his bed and opened it up.
Out came the Gorgonites as they checked their surroundings and finally, the person who saved them. "A-A-Allen!" the Gorgonites exclaimed. "Hey guys! Long time, no see." Allen chuckled at their puzzled expressions. "Allen, what are you doing here?" the Gorgonite, Slamfist, asked. "Well, today is my birthday and my parents took me here as a birthday present." Allen explained. The Gorgonites just stared at him, not really understand what "birthday" meant. "Uhh!" Allen face-palmed, "A birthday is a day that celebrates the day you were created." Allen had to add created instead of born since that's how the Gorgonites were "born". It seemed to work since all the Gorgonites nodded.
"How about you guys?" Allen asked. "We were looking for Gorgon until our ship broke." Archer explained. "We decided to travel by foot and then the Commandos spotted us. They chased us for a long time. Us hiding for a while, then the Commandos finding us and chasing us again. We finally came here and hid again and this time, the Commandos ambushed us and almost destroyed us, but at the last moment they slipped up and we escaped. That's when we found you" Allen understood that that must have been hard on the Gorgonites, always fearing that they will be destroyed.
I shouldn't tell mom or dad. They might freak out and try to get me to give the Gorgonites to the Commandos if it meant that I'll be safe. Allen thought to himself. It was decided! He will run away so the Commandos don't go near his family. He thought about where he could hide with the Gorgonites so it will be hard for the Commandos to find them. He then remembered when his father pointed to a hill that had a large building at the top. His father told him that the building was the Bodega Bay Inn and that it used to be so popular until a series of deaths made it close down. Now it is known for being abandoned and that just being near it will be bad luck.
"OK!" Allen exclaimed loud enough to startle the Gorgonites. "We'll all runaway so the Commando doesn't hurt my family and we'll hide in the Bodega Bay Inn." As Allen said this, he was already packing his backpack full of stuff he needs. Finally, he placed the backpack near the Gorgonites so they can climb in. After all the Gorgonites besides Archer got settled in, Archer turned to Allen. "Allen, I think I should stay out side so the Commandos will see us and will leave your family alone, knowing that it is you that have us." Allen nodded as he picked up Archer and held the action figure in his arms. "Sit tight everyone," Allen told the Gorgonites, "this will be our biggest adventure yet."
