‘Oh no! Our propeller has just ripped sir’.
‘Prepare for force landing’ cried the captain.
BOOM! That was the last sound I heard before banging my head onto the steering wheel.
‘Sir, sir wake up we’re lost and the helicopter is about to explode into flames!’ screamed Zachery, student training to be a pilot.
I untangled the wires and things heaped on top of us as gas leaked out onto us. Our plane was the brand new model helicopter allowing us to track down anybody lost by their heat. I was lucky enough to try this helicopter out with a specially trained pilot. I screamed and screamed for the captain wake up until finally I spat into his eyes as I stretched his eyelids. Finally he woke and stumble furtherer away from the helicopter as a blaze of fire burst out. I looked in every direction but all I saw was smoke and sand dunes. I realized we were in the desert, an unknown desert.
Suddenly we heard a faint sound of a plane then the sound disappeared. We both knew we have not much luck of being rescued. Day after day we walked and slept on the sand, eating only water from inside cactuse we barely found. After what seemed like a year of walking the captain collapsed of heatstroke and hunger. Luckily I stuffed my pocket with medication when I got out of the ruin. I picked up a medication I thought was correct and tipped it into the captains mouth. 5 minutes past and I still didn’t know what to do till I remembered something called CPR in the training lesson so I did it on the captain. On my last push of CPR the captain screamed so loud. The screamed finish unexpectedly as the captain woke up and gave me a lecture on what to do when someone gets heatstroke. First you don’t do CPR and second do not feed people on medication they do not know of!
Back in Auckland, New Zealand, the air force was trying to get in contact with the people who flew the new helicopter. They waited days and days for them to arrive back. Charlie, also a student training to be a pilot and Zach’s mate started to panic because he remembered seeing scientist Lynald walking up to the helicopter late at night and stuck a round object on the helicopter’s propeller, this seemed strange. Later in the afternoon if he could send a send a search party to find them. The captain’s reply was obviously no, to wait for them for a few more days because they might have stopped in a city and lived in a hotel for few days for resting and is about to come back to base.
Zach walked behind the captain in shame for his stupidity of the accident. One week passed…Another past….And another, with still no sign of living close by. Finally they found a shelter place to rest properly in. In the middle of a stormy night Zach felt something heavy on his chest. Zach’s eyes fluttered open and he shrieked. Captain woke up as he saw a huge shadow looming towards him. He instantly stood up and yanked the camel of Zach’s chest then tied the string, which was on the camel, to a pole. When the sun rise we hoped onto the camel’s back. I could tell that the captain was very happy because he had a huge smile spread across his face and we didn’t have to walk that far. After a few days the camel came to a stop in front of a giant pyramid but this pyramid looked different from normal ones it had blocks of gold and it was made into the shape of a cactus. We searched and searched till captain spotted a piece of gold block sticking unevenly. I carefully pulled out the block and all of a sudden the whole part shifted into a door shape. We entered.
I noticed we were in total darkness except a small flame of torch shining just in front of the entrance. The captain knew about bobby traps in pyramids and how to dodge them. He said ‘obvious paths lead to deadly traps’ I repeated this the whole way through. The paths were like a maze except instead of ending with wall but dangerous traps. Once I saw a mummy lean against the wall, this made me yelp but not in time just as the captain covered my mouth. At the end of the long journey I was so happy but soon my happiness faded because right in front of me was the ancient mummy pharaoh with guard all around him. People have rumored about this ancient Egyptian pharaoh but never has anyone found him. All of a sudden a bunch of flying bone-arrow flew towards us. Luckily these guards were not that good as the training course I went through at the military base and missed us. The pharaoh made a signal signaling them to stop. He walked over to us and in a funny accent he asked us who we were and why we’re here. We told them about the truth of their broken helicopter and crashed here. The pharaoh did not believe us and shooed us out of here back into the blazing heat.
Charlie finally convinced the officer to let him help search for his friend. They wanted to try out the exact model of the helicopter Zach and captain went on to check if there was any mistake in the helicopter. After a few hours someone spotted a plane in a heap of wreckage on a unknown desert. This must be it thought Charlie with a gleam in his eyes. Continuing the search they saw footsteps and camel prints.
The night they got shooed out they heard someone pacing back and forth from the other side of the pyramid they were sleeping in. Suddenly the captain figured out that this person must be why the king was scared of, he thought they were his spy or henchman trying to steal jewelry and then the captain explained this to Zachery. They tip-toed towards the burglar, to captain’s surprise he was Osama Benladin, the most wanted Iraq terrorist. Just when Benladin wasn’t looking they sneaked in the building. They tried and tried to think of a idea till a perfect idea popped into Zachery’s mind. He would try and find where the bones were stored and grab a big bottle of sticky thing like glue. Next, with captain’s help they would try and build a skeleton of Benladin. When this is done they will hide and pretend to have the voice of a mummy and fortune teller and say that he would die with his journey through this ancient pyramid. Soon later Benladin came in. He was scared to death especially of his pale face against the darkness. When he left I burst out into laughter and soon captain joined in. We laughed and laughed that we didn’t see the pharaoh come. Captain was the first to notice. We immediately stood up and bowed. Just as our head went down the pharaoh placed a fabulous gleaming crown on our head. The pharaoh lead us to a feast already made. The guards were so surprised of our great achievement and the way we swallowed our food. Finally it was time for our prize. We were expected to be rewarded by treasure but instead he granted us one wish. We immediately both said to be teleported back to Auckland. The pharaoh thought and thought about this wish until later he said e would take us back.
Charlie and his team flew ad flew till the footprints disappeared at the end of a pyramid none of the crew mates and himself didn’t know about. From out of nowhere two humans came out of the pyramid. Charlie saw the shaggy hair of Zachery’s and badge of the captain’s. Those flying humans must be his friend! Instead of flying at the speed of 80km/hr he order the pilot to go at the speed of 120km/hr. A few minutes later they caught up to the flying humans. Charlie asked captain and Zach they want a ride on the plane back to base but they exchange nervous glances and shook their head because of their awful experienced of the helicopter. Charlie shrugged his shoulder in agreement. When they arrived back to base the officer was waving in excitement. Everyone hoped out and asked why was he so happy when one of his helicopter has been destroyed and he said because everyone arrived back safely. When everyone gathered in a important meeting of how the brand new helicopter broke Charlie took a quick glance at Scientist Lynald as he started to sweat slightly. Suddenly Charlie stood up. Everyone went quite because they knew he had the answer. Through a 1 minute pause Charlie said it was the scientist. He walked up to the DVD player and insert a short clip of what the scientist did. Everyone was stunned to hear this because captain and the scientist was great friends. Then the scientist stood up and explained why he did that. The truth was when he was in intermediate the captain disliked him because he was the smartest in the class and captain was the second. One day captain placed a stink bomb under his desk in the morning block. When the scientist went to sit down at his desk a girl that he liked since primary came up to him and asked him for a ride to Rainbows End in the weekends. Because the teacher still hasn’t arrived in class he said yes but right at the time he said yes a fart noise and horrible stench filled the whole classroom. The girl he liked went bright red then stormed away and right in front of me she asked captain out. I was bullied for a long time. I knew the captain placed that bomb under my desk but never told anyone because instead of standing up for me they would just laugh and say it was just an excuse. Later when he grew up he would get revenge because he destroyed his future. After the explanation scientist Lynald ran out of the room. Luckily we had guards all round the building but the scientist was a good dodger and ran past the door guards. When the scientist was captured we took him to the court. Scientist had to explain everything again, this time captain actually burst out laughing just as I look at captain. I dragged him out of the room in case anyone gets mad. Few hours past the officer and Charlie came out with scientist Lynald in cuffs. Officer said he would be in jail for 2 years. Finally I was allowed to go back home and meet my family. Everyone was very worried about me and my conditions. I laughed and sighed in relief.
