The Dome
July 2nd me and 9 other crew members have been sucked into a dome,the dome. our SSC Cranks is destroyed 5 people in my crew have died the only people that survived was Luke,Bradley, Zion,Joshua and I. I scoped the dome all I could see was creatures of mother kind they were black thats all they were just black they had tails as sharp as a knife there were also buildings that were different sizes some small some big some red some black. Luke turned to me and said "Where do we go now captain???" we have to blend in start a new life here, all of a sudden a broadcast came on saying in english "attention all all the dome is being opened we will all die the only thing that will save us is a spark engine well I wish you all the best in the final three weeks that we have" Joshua said to me inn a more surprised voice"we have a spark engine if we give it to these creatures we might be able to exchange for a ride out of here" where was the broadcast coming from though " replied Bradley "that transmitter looks like it was broadcasted from there" I said. When we arrived at the broadcast station it was only a matter of climbing some stairs but as we opened thee door the domes police came the crew sprinted up the stairs as fast as they could Luke Joshua and Bradley said to me you go we'll cover you. As I sprinted up the stairs, when I got to the top a red helicopter with lots of guns the helicopter started shooting at me and I dodged the bullets like a boss then I pull out my golden AK - 47 and shot the pilot but when I shot the pilot he shot the bullet at my leg and shot me I fell to the ground but i did not give up I got back up and started limping towards the broadcast thingy I turned on the broadcast machine and broadcasted and I said

THE BIG GAME
Once upon a time there was a game that lived in a country.The game was called…soccer.This sport was massive in this country people lived for it.But all this changed when a man called BoB came and spoke of the soccer clones that will give guarenteed results for the fans.
In their first game they smoked the opposition.The great players Ronaldo,Messi ,Newmar,Ramos,Ineista and co lost the game 5-0.After the game the players lost confidence in them and disappeared.But the clones kept playing their games the clones are undefeated.
One man who was on the management side of soccer was tired of this.He walked into a small bar and saw a commercial for clone Lebrun James.And decided he was going to find the originals.He started with Cristiano Ronaldo who was now a model for a sports shop.
He kidnapped him and went to find the rest of them.Messi was working for a hair company Newmar and David Luis were barbers, Ineista was in the country and Howard,Ramos,Ribery ,Pique,Gerrad and Evra. When they arrived at the base The players did not know what to do.
The manager arrived the players asked what they were doing "we are here to make a stand".The manager walked them around and showed them the origins of soccer.At the end the manager showed them their kits they wear.
Then the players put them on and challenged the clones to a game first goal wins.This was the biggest game in soccer history.The teams arrived and the game kicked off.Messi passed to Ribery and he skipped past two defenders.
He put it through to Gerrard who chipped it through for Messi to volley! it's going into the top post but the keeper saves it now the clones make a break down the line pass in the middle slips through to the striker and Howard trips him up Evra runs the ball rolls through!
But vera chips it back and passes to Ramos who Rainbows it.Now he passes to Ineista who beats the defenders now only the keeper remains 45 meters out and a whole army of clones come A pass to Neymar who steps them all and now passes to Ronaldo who skips past them.
Jumps over the keeper stops the ball and scores!.The all stars have won and the clones are defeated.
