      The Tale of the Green Alien Ooze

      By Zaid De La Rosa

      In the future, scientists will build a rocket and send it into outer space.

      It was looking for life on distance planets. When it returned, it came back covered in a strange green slime. It crashed down on earth and lost all of the data it had gathered upon impact. The green slime seeped into earth. It began imitating the world around it, becoming the mirror image of trees and all living things.

      Meanwhile, the scientists, Tom and Jeff, were looking for the rocket. A random local man found the rocket on the coast of Hawaii, buried in the sand near some palm trees. He posted a picture of the rocket on Instagram.

      The scientists, Tom and Jeff, saw the social media post and went to retrieve the rocket. They got the pieces of the broken rocket and took it back to the lab. At first, they found no traces of the slime and without any data to recover, they were afraid that the whole mission was for nothing.

      They chose a very talented fencing team to search the impact sight and make sure nothing else was there. The team was the best duo fencing team in the world. One was a girl named Rebecca and the other a boy named Jay. They got special protective armor made of black obsidian and ruby, plus diamond swords. The black obsidian was for Jay and the ruby for Rebecca.

      When Rebecca and Jay arrived, they scanned the area. At first they found nothing. They stayed on the Hawaiian island for a week just to make sure nothing strange happened.

      After a few days however, their fears came true. Strange things were happening. Miracles were happening. Some of the endangered animals in the area doubled their numbers in just a week. Also, in the same place that the rocket landed, a lush forest was growing. This was very suspicious. They sent news back to the lab that these things were happening They were asked to collect data.

      At first they just tried to watch and observe, but they started to set traps for the animals. They would need to see what was going on and test them to find out. They set up several traps and started taking clippings off the newly grown trees and vines.

      After they collected several samples and caught a few different animals, they sent back everything to the lab. The scientists tested the data while Rebecca and Jay stayed to watch and observe. When the scientists cut into one of the vines, a strange green substance oozed out. Also, when they extracted a vial of blood from one of the animals, its blood was green instead of red.

      The endangered animals were just replicas all along!

      Rebecca and Jay noticed something else strange was happening. Vines had sprung up everywhere. They were growing across the forest floor, across the tree tops, and over the roads into town. However, they only spread during daylight hours. At night everything would shrink back under cover. The replicas had a weakness! They were sensitive to the moonlight.

      All of a sudden, the strange new population of animals started attacking people. More than a hundred people were sent to the hospital from the animal attacks.

      Luckily, the diamond swords that Rebecca and Jay used reflected the moonlight and made them even more useful. At night when the animals and plants had retreated to the shelter of the forest, Rebecca and Jay went hunting for them.

      They knew that it would take a long time to gather all of them but they started trapping the animals. However, the animals weren’t the biggest problem. The vines were taking over the island. The vines came to life during the day and
