The Nature Soldiers

Eli, Henry, Kody, and Xander were having a sleep over together. "Let's pick a movie for tonight," said Eli. Right when they accidentally turned on the News, the News Reporter said that a small meteorite hit the Earth. In their park.

"We should go there!" said Henry and Kody at the same time. Eli shook his head, and said, "No, it's too many dangers to think of!" Xander agreed with Henry and Kody, so Eli had to come. They ran out the door so Eli's dad would not see them. When they got to the meteorite that hit Earth, they saw a markings on it, in the shape of a Lion, a wolverine, Eagle, and wolf. I feel like I should touch that, thought Eli.

Eli touched the lion, Kody touched the wolf, Henry touched the wolverine and Xander touched the Eagle. Suddenly, all four boys heard a voice that said You four are the chosen ones. "I am not the only one hearing this, right?" said Eli. The other four shook their heads. "Henry," the voice said, "your animal is a Wolverine, tough and powerful". Just then a light shined on Henry. Then Henry started growing fur and claws and sharp teeth. Soon Henry started to become a Wolverine. The voice said, "Kody, your animal is a wolf, never willing to give up"
.  

The light shined on Kody, then he grew fur and teeth, and Kody became a Wolf.  "Xander" the voice said, "your animal is an Eagle, never willing to stop looking out for your friends in need". Then Xander grew a beak and feathers and he became an Eagle. The voice said "Eli, your animal is a Lion,because you are all of them, that's why I am making you the leader", The light shined on Eli and he started growing a mane and claws, then Eli became a Lion.

     

Chapter 2                        🐾  A New Home🐾

"Oh my gosh!" Eli said, "I'm a Lion!" "Oh really?" said Henry, "you're not the one who got the rodent-  I'm a Wolverine, for heaven sacks!" "Stop! You four have a gift." said the voice. "I will help you use your  powers, first I will teach you to turn back into a human. Take a deep breath".The four did what the voice said. Now say, "The Nature Soldiers". "The Nature Soldiers," the four echoed back. Suddenly they slowly shrunk into human size, and grew human heads, arms, and legs. Soon all four animals turned to human. "Now I will help you in person" the voice said.

Suddenly the light that the voice was became a shadow coming towards them. Then the shadow looked like a human. "I am Kormomu, the wizard of animals and this is your training deck", "What training deck" Henry said, "This one!" Kormomu rose his arms the ground shock with force and stones rose from the ground and all around them a monastery. "This is kind of like a base," said Kody. "Yes, it is" said Kormomu, "this is were you train, eat, and have meeting. All of you take this necklace, it will make a animal sound when I need you, and that animal sound is your animal".

"I can't believe this!" said the four at the same time.

Chapter 3                             🐾A Save For Kormomu🐾

In school we were doing a history test when suddenly Eli, Henry, Kody, and Xander's necklaces made their animal sounds. "Can I go to go to the bath room?" asked Kody. "Ok, but you have to go quickly," said Ms. Jane, "Can I go get a drink?" said Henry,  "OOoow! My leg! Can I go to the nurse?" asked Xander, "Ok but you need a buddy to go with you." "I will go!" said Eli.

The thing that Ms. Jane did not know was that all four boys were meeting in the bathroom. "Ok, let's do this," said Eli. "1..2..3... Nature Soldier's!" they said together. They all turned into their animals. They ran to the base and saw flames covering it. "Ow no, Kormomu!" said Eli. "I smell him, he's alive.  Xander, you and Kody will take out the fire, me and Henry will go get Kormomu," And they were off.

Xander was scanning the park and saw a hose that Kody could get and take out the fire. "Kody!" Xander said, "I see a hose that you can use!" Kody saw what Xander was talking about, and grabbed it with his jaw and ran right to the fire. Meanwhile, in the fire Eli could not see a thing. "Do you see him?" "No!" said Henry. "Wait I'm a lion, what am I doing?" Soon Eli could see everything. Suddenly Eli saw something moving in the fire. It was Kormomu! "Henry, get on my back!" "What?" said Henry, "just do it!" "OK, but don't tell me I did not worn you!"Henry jumped on Eli. Eli ran through the fire like a tornado. Kormomu looked up with a grin, Henry bit Kormomu's clock with his jaw. Eli could feel the fire on his mane. Suddenly everything went black.

Chapter 4                           🐾The Future🐾

Eli opened his eyes- he was in the base! "Finally!" said Henry. "You're awake!" "Thank you for saving me Henry and Eli", said Kormomu. "and thank you for putting out the fire, Kody and Xander". Eli got up from his bed and looked in the mirror and noticed that he was in human form and that there was a scar on his forehead that looked like a flame. "What's that?" he asked. "That's the scar that you risked your life to save me," said Kormomu. BEEEEEP! BEEEEEP! "It's the alarm," said Kody. "Let's go," said Eli.

"Nature Solders!" they said together.

Survival Guide

1. How to survive a lion encounter: when you see a lion, stand tall and put your hands above your head and look as fierce as you can.  If the lion charges, stand still, don't blink, don't move a muscle.  If a lion backs off, freeze once more, don't follow it, when it turns around, RUN. And, don't think that's the only lion.  Lions live in groups called prides.  Good luck, you're going to need it.
2. How to survive a tiger encounter: if a tiger is far away from you, run as fast as you can.  If a tiger is close to you, stay still so it doesn't see you moving.  If you think a tiger is small, you are wrong, they are the biggest cats in the world.  If you're in a place where tigers are around, please turn your head once in awhile.  If you're with people,  stay calm you have more eyes.
3. How to survive a shark: don't swim in an ocean after dark, sharks usually hunt at night.  Never swim where people are fishing, sharks can smell the blood of an injured fish from a hook.  If you are bleeding in the ocean, get out.  If a shark is coming at you, I know this sounds weird, but slam your fist in the shark's eye or nose.  If you do that, the shark may feel beaten. Swim out of the water immediately.  
4. How to survive a bear encounter: always walk in a group in bear country.  If you see a bear far away, walk away slowly.  If you're camping out in bear country, hang your food up high so bears can't get it.  If a bear comes toward you, wave your hands up in the air and make a lot of noises (crow! oink! moo! quack!).  Say anything to make you sound fierce.  If that doesn't work, play dead immediately.  Never run away from a bear.  Bears are faster than humans. 
5. How to survive a gator encounter: just so you know, crocodiles and alligators are not the same thing.  Crocodiles can grow big, but usually alligators are the biggest.  Alligators have a bigger snout for catching mammals.  Crocodiles have a skinnier snout for catching fish.  Crocs have their bottom teeth sticking out.  If you see an alligator, walk away slowly.  Mother gators will attack if they're protecting their eggs.  Back away if a gator takes interest in you.  They will attack quickly.  If it's very close to you, punch it in the nose and RUN.

Snakes and Other Reptiles

What I learned: that birds are most related to crocodiles then any other reptile. Alligators and crocodiles are not the same thing.  They don't live in the same place.  There's only one place where they meet together: Florida. Alligators are much bigger. Crocodiles are longer. Not all snakes are venomous.
