“An old friend was at the door, with an offer that was difficult to refuse…”
“Really? Who?”
They all looked at Sniper. He’d called them over for something special, an emergency he’d said. Perhaps this friend was a billionaire movie director who was a close friend of Snipes…
“I’m not actually sure… He looked familiar and he acted like he knew me. Mr Blond I think he liked to call himself. Anyway, he’s heard of our great reputation for taking down big conspiracies…”
The rest of the group smiled. This billionaire was going to pay them a fortune to take out an opposing company…
“And there’s one he’s uncovered. One that’s going to destroy the world.”
“And how much is he paying us to bring them down?”
“Nothing!! Don’t you get it? He’s telling us so that we can save the world. Basically, we’re being paid with our very lives.”
There was a big sigh. They never got paid. It was a case of “Do it or lose everything”. Perhaps the world wasn’t even worth saving…
Many of them left the room. They just didn’t care anymore.
Ant looked around and waited for the last of the quitters to leave. It was just as well really; they would’ve just got in the way.
“So how much are we really going to be paid?”
“Mr Blond mentioned a large government reward but I decided to get rid of that lot first. Now we we’ll get more only having to split it… 1,2,3,4… and me. OK”
There was Ant, PB, Sniper himself, Sheepy, and Fantasy Meister. Ant looked thoroughly, someone was missing…
“Where’s Grix”
“I didn’t call Grix for a certain reason. I’ll get to that later. Here’s the problem:
The Special Reserve Corporation is supposedly a big business games retailer. However, there is more to it than that. They have been secretly producing a weapon, one so powerful and deadly that it could destroy a planet, maybe a solar system and possibly and entire galaxy. It is code named the Death Sphere project.”
“But we work for the SR Corp! Have they done this without us realising? And what’s it mean to be? A real life Death star? You’d think that we’d notice if something as big as that was built right under our noses…”
“It isn’t a giant space station. No one knows what it is apart from its potential to destroy the world.”
They all sighed. It was going to be one of those missions.
“And where in the SR Corp do you expect us to find it?”
“Mr Blond knew that too. Apparently it’s the Swordspines faction that is behind it.”
The 4 listeners yelled it at once “GRIX!!!”
“So that’s why he couldn’t help.”
Snipe nodded.
“We need to go to the Swordspines HQ to find out what is going on. Have you noticed how no ones been let in over the last couple of years.”
“Yeah, but that’s because they were working on a top secret game… oh, a top secret weapon. I see. So that why it was so heavily guarded…”
The 5 of them crept onto a hill. PB pulled out his binoculars. The Swordspines HQ was a quiet villa in the countryside. No doubt there was a secret underground base complex underneath it. There were guards on the perimeter, unsuspecting on their patrols.
“Okay” Said Sniper “Here’s the plan. Sheepy, you’re in charge of communications so you stay with me. I’ll stay here with my Sniper rifle. The rest of you will have to take out those guards.”
“Solid Snake style?”
“Exactly.”
Edgy was standing on the roof, his machine gun at his side. He watched Dringo on his patrol below him, slowly walking…
“Hhmmmgh!!!”
Edgy looked down. Dringo had gone. He reached for his radio. There were intruders! He reached for the button when something hit him in the back of the head. His sight went blank as he fell…
Ant pulled the body out of the way. Whispering into the radio. “Good shot Snipe. Look out for any other guards who saw it”
PB pulled on Dringo’s uniform. He now looked like an SR guard. Fantasy Meister looked at Edgy. None of the blood was on the uniform. He took Edgys uniform. Ant had already taken another.
“Just 2 more then…”
Sniper met them at the gate. Sheepy and himself both put on their disguises and made their way into the villa.
The first room they found was the control room. They entered. Inside, YH and Turbonutter were looking at the monitors.
“Look at this one, I think that there’s been a bre…”
A backhander from PB knocked him unconscious. Sheepy sat down and took control.
“I should be able to handle things from here. Right, the plans for the Death Sphere are here, and the Death Sphere project itself is right down under the ground. I’ll keep contact with you through it. Get going.”
Sniper, Ant Pb and FM made their way to the plans room. They walked in and Sheepy locked them in so they’d have time to read the plans.
There was a PC with a big screen in the corner. FM went to it. He grabbed the mouse and clicked on “Start Presentation.”.

The Death Sphere Project.
Designed and built by Dan uk.
Look at these atoms. As you can see. All the mass is in the nucleus with the protons and neutrons. Most of the space however is dominated by nothingness. This build gives us our every day elements, but what if the entire atom was as dense as the nucleus.
In sector 5, an uninhabited system, we created a dense ball made entirely of neutrons. This made it incredibly dense for it’s size. Its gravity was enormous. To stop it destroying the space ship we dropped it onto the planet below. The Planet was mean of Iron. The Death Sphere sank straight through it into the core. We returned a few weeks later to find that there was no longer a planet, just a black hole.
The Death Sphere works as an object with high gravity. It attracts mass towards it. It then pulls it towards its core, crushing the atoms in the process. All the mass is then added to the Death Sphere making it bigger and heavier and a stronger gravitation pull. The black holes created like this have potential to destroy entire solar systems, possibly galaxies when used.
Dan uk has designed a device which can absorb matter around it and contract it into a Death Sphere. It is now going through the final test stages.
They starred at the screen.
“How very interesting…”
They turned around.
“Mr Blond?”
He was with them.
“Do not be alarmed. I came to help you so Sheepy used the control panel to let me through. Come now. We must go to where they are keeping the weapon.”
As they were going through the corridors, their radios picked up a message from Sheepy.
“I’ve been caught! They know we’re here!!”
The 5 of them started to run, Ant, FM, PB and Sniper, following Mr Blonds lead.
He called back to them.
“We are nearly there. I can get in with the explosives. Sniper and I can finish the job. The rest of you must lead the guards away!”
There was a hole in the side of the wall a head. PB, Ant and FM turned round and started shooting at the guards while Mr Blond and Sniper dived through the hole. They were in the ventilation systems. They climbed through the pipes and made their way to the Death Sphere Creation room.
Er no and Wookie were in the Death Sphere Creation room. Sniper and Mr Blond dropped down, knocking them out. Sniper went to the door and held it shut.
“Quick. Do the explosives.”
Guards on the other side started to barge into the doors.
“I don’t have time Mr Sniper. I will have to hide. You must not look other wise they might interrogate you.”
Sniper closed his eyes, pushing the door with all his strength. It burst open and he went flying. Mr Blond had gone. He was well hidden. He could now save the world…
Sniper blacked out.
He woke up to find himself on a sofa, sitting next to PB, Ant, FM and Sheepy.
In front of them there was Grix, Tony and Mr Snuggly. They all looked more than a bit annoyed…
“What do you think you are doing Sniper?”
“Saving the world! What do you think? Did you think that we’d just sit at home and let you turn the Earth into a black hole?”
The 3 interrogators burst out laughing.
“Sniper you idiot! We weren’t going to use it on Earth you fool! We’re going to use it on that Planet of aliens that keep attacking us!!”
“Oh…
I never thought…”
“No, you didn’t!”
Grix sighed with relief.
“At least it’s you and not one of those Mr Blonds”
Sniper went pale. “W-w-why is that…”
“They’re aliens in disguise. If they found out then they’d use the Death Sphere on us for sure…”
“Oh SH**!”
Sniper stood up and darted out of the room.
An alarm suddenly went off. “Death Sphere activated!”
Ant turned to Grix. “There was a Mr Blond with us you see…”
The rest of them ran down the corridor towards the Death Sphere creation room.
Sniper looked through the door. There was a big clawed monster with dead guards around him. Sniper pulled out his gun. The monster smashed it’s claws into a gas cylinder.
“I wouldn’t shoot if I was you! If this gas exploded then it would trigger off a Death Sphere right here on planet Earth!”
Sniper froze.
The monster smashed another cylinder, tearing the top off. It starred at Sniper and grinned. Dan uk popped out of the second cylinder with a mask and a blowtorch he’d been using to fix a leak in the gas cylinder. He climbed out, tapped the monster on the should and shoved the blowtorch into it’s mouth as it turned round.
Tony and Grix came rushing in to see the monster collapse. Dan glared at them.
“I go away for half an hour to fix a gas leak and before I know it you’ve let a damn Skedar in! Is this what you call top security??? Look at the damage!! This is going to take weeks to fix!!!”
No one was listening. They were all too relieved that the world hadn’t ended.
Sniper looked Sheepishly at Tony.
“Well there was no harm done…”
“NO HARM DONE! YOU NEARLY DESTROYED THE WORLD!!!”
“Well, no permanent damage overall…”
“No, just 24 guards killed and a million pounds worth of damage!!”
“I’ll make it up to you, you know…”
Tony smiled. “How nice of you to volunteer.”
“Wha…?”
“SIT BACK DOWN!”
Sniper sat back next to the other 4 who were also under trial.
“Hear that you 4? Sniper has volunteered the whole lot of you to make up for what you’ve done. You’re going to be on the mission that will take and launch the Death Sphere at the alien home planet.”
“No! You can’t!”
“Oh yes we can!!!”
Ant, PB, Fantasy Meister and Sheepy all starred at Sniper. Because of him, they were going to have to fly through enemy territories, 500 light years into space and launch a Death Sphere into it, right in front of it’s military and main fleet.
Sniper was going to really get it in the next story…
“Really? Who?”
They all looked at Sniper. He’d called them over for something special, an emergency he’d said. Perhaps this friend was a billionaire movie director who was a close friend of Snipes…

I'm not sure but it worked for you too.
I suppose SR don't mind the odd bit off swearing as long as it's a one off and not just for the sake of it.
In this case it added dramatical effect.
If someone was saying something like "The !@* DC is so *!@ cos all da games are a load of *&^$!~"
Well that's the sort of thing SR does NOT want.

I smell food... lovely..
To allow the phone to be used at the same time, I wrote this on word.
The lines that I made to seperate scenes seem to have disappeared during the copy and paste process.
So you'll have to work out the breaks for yourselves.
Sorry.

Dan uk popped out of the second cylinder with a mask and a blowtorch he’d been using to fix a leak in the gas cylinder. He climbed out, tapped the monster on the should and shoved the blowtorch into it’s mouth as it turned round.
Tony and Grix came rushing in to see the monster collapse. Dan glared at them.
“I go away for half an hour to fix a gas leak and before I know it you’ve let a damn Skedar in! Is this what you call top security??? Look at the damage!! This is going to take weeks to fix!!!”
No one was listening. They were all too relieved that the world hadn’t ended.
Sniper looked Sheepishly at Tony.
“Well there was no harm done…”
“NO HARM DONE! YOU NEARLY DESTROYED THE WORLD!!!”
“Well, no permanent damage overall…”
“No, just 24 guards killed and a million pounds worth of damage!!”
“I’ll make it up to you, you know…”
Tony smiled. “How nice of you to volunteer.”
“Wha…?”
“SIT BACK DOWN!”
Sniper sat back next to the other 4 who were also under trial.
“Hear that you 4? Sniper has volunteered the whole lot of you to make up for what you’ve done. You’re going to be on the mission that will take and launch the Death Sphere at the alien home planet.”
“No! You can’t!”
“Oh yes we can!!!”
Ant, PB, Fantasy Meister and Sheepy all starred at Sniper. Because of him, they were going to have to fly through enemy territories, 500 light years into space and launch a Death Sphere into it, right in front of it’s military and main fleet.
Sniper was going to really get it in the next story…
“Really? Who?”
They all looked at Sniper. He’d called them over for something special, an emergency he’d said. Perhaps this friend was a billionaire movie director who was a close friend of Snipes…
“I’m not actually sure… He looked familiar and he acted like he knew me. Mr Blond I think he liked to call himself. Anyway, he’s heard of our great reputation for taking down big conspiracies…”
The rest of the group smiled. This billionaire was going to pay them a fortune to take out an opposing company…
“And there’s one he’s uncovered. One that’s going to destroy the world.”
“And how much is he paying us to bring them down?”
“Nothing!! Don’t you get it? He’s telling us so that we can save the world. Basically, we’re being paid with our very lives.”
There was a big sigh. They never got paid. It was a case of “Do it or lose everything”. Perhaps the world wasn’t even worth saving…
Many of them left the room. They just didn’t care anymore.
Ant looked around and waited for the last of the quitters to leave. It was just as well really; they would’ve just got in the way.
“So how much are we really going to be paid?”
“Mr Blond mentioned a large government reward but I decided to get rid of that lot first. Now we we’ll get more only having to split it… 1,2,3,4… and me. OK”
There was Ant, PB, Sniper himself, Sheepy, and Fantasy Meister. Ant looked thoroughly, someone was missing…
“Where’s Grix”
“I didn’t call Grix for a certain reason. I’ll get to that later. Here’s the problem:
The Special Reserve Corporation is supposedly a big business games retailer. However, there is more to it than that. They have been secretly producing a weapon, one so powerful and deadly that it could destroy a planet, maybe a solar system and possibly and entire galaxy. It is code named the Death Sphere project.”
“But we work for the SR Corp! Have they done this without us realising? And what’s it mean to be? A real life Death star? You’d think that we’d notice if something as big as that was built right under our noses…”
“It isn’t a giant space station. No one knows what it is apart from its potential to destroy the world.”
They all sighed. It was going to be one of those missions.
“And where in the SR Corp do you expect us to find it?”
“Mr Blond knew that too. Apparently it’s the Swordspines faction that is behind it.”
The 4 listeners yelled it at once “GRIX!!!”
“So that’s why he couldn’t help.”
Snipe nodded.
“We need to go to the Swordspines HQ to find out what is going on. Have you noticed how no ones been let in over the last couple of years.”
“Yeah, but that’s because they were working on a top secret game… oh, a top secret weapon. I see. So that why it was so heavily guarded…”
The 5 of them crept onto a hill. PB pulled out his binoculars. The Swordspines HQ was a quiet villa in the countryside. No doubt there was a secret underground base complex underneath it. There were guards on the perimeter, unsuspecting on their patrols.
“Okay” Said Sniper “Here’s the plan. Sheepy, you’re in charge of communications so you stay with me. I’ll stay here with my Sniper rifle. The rest of you will have to take out those guards.”
“Solid Snake style?”
“Exactly.”
Edgy was standing on the roof, his machine gun at his side. He watched Dringo on his patrol below him, slowly walking…
“Hhmmmgh!!!”
Edgy looked down. Dringo had gone. He reached for his radio. There were intruders! He reached for the button when something hit him in the back of the head. His sight went blank as he fell…
Ant pulled the body out of the way. Whispering into the radio. “Good shot Snipe. Look out for any other guards who saw it”
PB pulled on Dringo’s uniform. He now looked like an SR guard. Fantasy Meister looked at Edgy. None of the blood was on the uniform. He took Edgys uniform. Ant had already taken another.
“Just 2 more then…”
Sniper met them at the gate. Sheepy and himself both put on their disguises and made their way into the villa.
The first room they found was the control room. They entered. Inside, YH and Turbonutter were looking at the monitors.
“Look at this one, I think that there’s been a bre…”
A backhander from PB knocked him unconscious. Sheepy sat down and took control.
“I should be able to handle things from here. Right, the plans for the Death Sphere are here, and the Death Sphere project itself is right down under the ground. I’ll keep contact with you through it. Get going.”
Sniper, Ant Pb and FM made their way to the plans room. They walked in and Sheepy locked them in so they’d have time to read the plans.
There was a PC with a big screen in the corner. FM went to it. He grabbed the mouse and clicked on “Start Presentation.”.

The Death Sphere Project.
Designed and built by Dan uk.
Look at these atoms. As you can see. All the mass is in the nucleus with the protons and neutrons. Most of the space however is dominated by nothingness. This build gives us our every day elements, but what if the entire atom was as dense as the nucleus.
In sector 5, an uninhabited system, we created a dense ball made entirely of neutrons. This made it incredibly dense for it’s size. Its gravity was enormous. To stop it destroying the space ship we dropped it onto the planet below. The Planet was mean of Iron. The Death Sphere sank straight through it into the core. We returned a few weeks later to find that there was no longer a planet, just a black hole.
The Death Sphere works as an object with high gravity. It attracts mass towards it. It then pulls it towards its core, crushing the atoms in the process. All the mass is then added to the Death Sphere making it bigger and heavier and a stronger gravitation pull. The black holes created like this have potential to destroy entire solar systems, possibly galaxies when used.
Dan uk has designed a device which can absorb matter around it and contract it into a Death Sphere. It is now going through the final test stages.
They starred at the screen.
“How very interesting…”
They turned around.
“Mr Blond?”
He was with them.
“Do not be alarmed. I came to help you so Sheepy used the control panel to let me through. Come now. We must go to where they are keeping the weapon.”
As they were going through the corridors, their radios picked up a message from Sheepy.
“I’ve been caught! They know we’re here!!”
The 5 of them started to run, Ant, FM, PB and Sniper, following Mr Blonds lead.
He called back to them.
“We are nearly there. I can get in with the explosives. Sniper and I can finish the job. The rest of you must lead the guards away!”
There was a hole in the side of the wall a head. PB, Ant and FM turned round and started shooting at the guards while Mr Blond and Sniper dived through the hole. They were in the ventilation systems. They climbed through the pipes and made their way to the Death Sphere Creation room.
Er no and Wookie were in the Death Sphere Creation room. Sniper and Mr Blond dropped down, knocking them out. Sniper went to the door and held it shut.
“Quick. Do the explosives.”
Guards on the other side started to barge into the doors.
“I don’t have time Mr Sniper. I will have to hide. You must not look other wise they might interrogate you.”
Sniper closed his eyes, pushing the door with all his strength. It burst open and he went flying. Mr Blond had gone. He was well hidden. He could now save the world…
Sniper blacked out.
He woke up to find himself on a sofa, sitting next to PB, Ant, FM and Sheepy.
In front of them there was Grix, Tony and Mr Snuggly. They all looked more than a bit annoyed…
“What do you think you are doing Sniper?”
“Saving the world! What do you think? Did you think that we’d just sit at home and let you turn the Earth into a black hole?”
The 3 interrogators burst out laughing.
“Sniper you idiot! We weren’t going to use it on Earth you fool! We’re going to use it on that Planet of aliens that keep attacking us!!”
“Oh…
I never thought…”
“No, you didn’t!”
Grix sighed with relief.
“At least it’s you and not one of those Mr Blonds”
Sniper went pale. “W-w-why is that…”
“They’re aliens in disguise. If they found out then they’d use the Death Sphere on us for sure…”
“Oh SH**!”
Sniper stood up and darted out of the room.
An alarm suddenly went off. “Death Sphere activated!”
Ant turned to Grix. “There was a Mr Blond with us you see…”
The rest of them ran down the corridor towards the Death Sphere creation room.
Sniper looked through the door. There was a big clawed monster with dead guards around him. Sniper pulled out his gun. The monster smashed it’s claws into a gas cylinder.
“I wouldn’t shoot if I was you! If this gas exploded then it would trigger off a Death Sphere right here on planet Earth!”
Sniper froze.
The monster smashed another cylinder, tearing the top off. It starred at Sniper and grinned. Dan uk popped out of the second cylinder with a mask and a blowtorch he’d been using to fix a leak in the gas cylinder. He climbed out, tapped the monster on the should and shoved the blowtorch into it’s mouth as it turned round.
Tony and Grix came rushing in to see the monster collapse. Dan glared at them.

No one was listening. They were all too relieved that the world hadn’t ended.
Sniper looked Sheepishly at Tony.
“Well there was no harm done…”
“NO HARM DONE! YOU NEARLY DESTROYED THE WORLD!!!”
“Well, no permanent damage overall…”
“No, just 24 guards killed and a million pounds worth of damage!!”
“I’ll make it up to you, you know…”
