The Moon, The Alien, and The Robot

The moon lite up the sky that night, and the stars winked at the earth below. A faint light in the distance blinked on and off, as it come closer and closer to Planet Earth. A red beam shown where the source of the blinking light come from.

BANG!!!!! An explosion filled the night air and debris filled the sky. Dirt and plant life particles where everywhere and the red beam of light moved on searching of it's next target.

BANG!!! Again the red beam destroyed other part of Planet Earth. Other part of earth was missing and again the red beam search for other target of Planet Earth.

Watching far away was a robot named Crushed. His job was to save Earth from total destruction from outsiders. On the second attack on earth, Crushed realized that Planet Earth was going to be destroyed.

“Must save Planet Earth,” said Crushed in a robotic voice. The earth beneath him shook and fire shoot out of his metal booster feet. Up into the air Crushed flew and metal wings unfolded from his back. Arms out straight and his body become parallel to the ground, he flew towards the red beam as it zoned in on its next target.

“Must save Planet Earth,” Crushed flew faster and faster, for it was a race against time. The beam was focused on it's next target and Crushed pushed his head into the rush of air, using his secret blasters that were in his wings.

Moving faster than a speeding bullet, Crushed was on top of the odd shape air born vessel. The vessel's red beam suddenly disappeared and the flashing light once again appeared. There was a loud booming sound, a flash of a bright light and the vessel took off into the night's sky. Crushed chased after the vessel as it went further up into the clouds and into the earth's atmosphere.

Crushed wasn't prepared for how fast he needed to go to catch the flying vessel. He pushed himself to the ultimate limit, his metal body was heating up and he became a flying fire ball. Arms straight over his head, his body going further and further into orbit. Crushed become closer and closer to the moon.

Crushed was struggling to keep up this speed and he could feel himself starting to shake apart. He wasn't going to give up for he....., “ Must save Planet Earth”, Crush told himself. There come a point where Crush could barely spot the odd shaped vessel flying towards the moon.

The vessel disappeared into the moon's surface but Crushed maintained his speed. He was determined to catch that vessel.

Upon reaching the moon's surface, it become colder and darker than this robot has ever known. He realized that he was on the side of the moon away from the sun. The darkness was as chilling as it was cold, with his special night vision goggles, he was able to see even the darkest corner of the moon.

One step at a time, he carefully scanned his surroundings, taking in every crater and rock. Measuring the distance of everything, he kept memory of all the objects on the moon's surface. He scanned the surface again, but an object had moved.

His head jerked around to the object and he stepped cautiously in the direction. With every step, he brought a small cloud of moon dust around his feet. A small thud sounded with ever step, and he become closer and closer to the object in question. He stopped and scanned again, only the object had moved back a bit. He moved a few feet closer and kept his scanner on.

Suddenly a small beam of light come through a crack from the object, like a door was opening. A dark tall figure with two antenna like things coming from it's head and arms that reached passed it's knees. A burst of bright light come from the aircraft, revealing that this creature was an alien with the wrong skin color. Crushed thought all aliens where green but this one had brilliant blue skin.

The blue alien raised an arm and started to speak, but Crushed couldn't understand it. He moved closer and the blue alien stepped forward.

Crushed suddenly felt he was endanger and looked up. There was a big shape that look like a human foot coming towards him. Crushed did the only thing he knew how and the ground beneath his feet shook. With his arms over his head, and his wings spread out, he blasted off towards the big footed objected. Closer and closer he become to the object, until he...CRASHED!

“OUCH! MOM!”, yelled Jason as he hopped on one foot by the crushed robot. “Billy is playing with his toys again instead of sleeping!”

“You stepped on Crushed The Robot,” Billy pouted. “And now I have a crashed robot, named Crushed.”
