The explosion rocked the control panel. Millions of bee-like ships came flying toward the glass in front of the control panel.
His legs froze like ice, his face pale as a ghost.
The plasma bolts flared towards him, but his legs refused to move.
He shot out of bed like a bullet.
It was just a dream, he thought with much relief.
Then why did he fear sleep more than a pistol?
Dr. Light was studying Melvin Kushranada from a hologram in his lab. He was a skinny boy; he wore a brown leather coat that was twice his size. He had brown hair was ruffled, as if he ran his fingers through it every couple minutes. Which he did. He wore round glasses that were too big for him, which meant that he had to constantly push them up on his nose. And, at the moment, he was trying to stop his nose from bleeding. Quite obviously, he was the all-school punching bag. He was crumpled up against the wall too weak and beaten up to get up. Dr. Light felt sorry for him. Roll, on the other hand, was distraught.
“Why on earth do humans beat each other up so much?!” She ranted.
“I don’t know, Roll. I just don’t know…” He mumbled.
“It’s just plain mean!”
“Roll, I know!” Dr. Light snapped.
“I’m sorry Dr. Light. It’s just I hate how humans do this to each other!”
“I do too, Roll.”
Much too their shock (They didn’t think someone could be this mean) someone walked up to Melvin and kicked him in the face!
“I can’t believe someone could be so mean!” Roll’s voice was like ice.
Dr. Light seemed shocked.
“Can’t we zap into there and help him?”
Dr. Light shrugged.
“Sure. I don’t see why not.”
Great. Just great. Now I have a bleeding nose and a bleeding lip! Whoopee. Melvin thought.
A young blonde skipped over to him.
He tensed. If she hits me too, I could be out for a long time! He thought.
“Hi. Are you ok?” She said with a worried look on her face.
“Oh, sure. I’ve never felt better.” He retorted.
She looked hurt. “I was just trying to---“
“Don’t even try that one! I’m not that dumb!”
“Wha---.Fine then! See that I care what happens to you!” She yelled.
She stormed off as Melvin rethought his words.
“Hey, wait! I’m sorry!” He yelled after her.
She heard him and stopped only to hear someone say,
“I don’t like your face.”
“Then don’t look at it.” Was the calm reply.
“I’d rather change it! Haw!”
Roll winced each time a blow landed.
BANG!
LEGGO---POW!
TOSS!
SLAM!
OW!
JAB!
PUNCH!
KICK!
His glasses hit her in the head.
“Ow!” She said
He was covered with bruises from head to toe.
He looked pitiful.
“See you later, dweeb! Haw! Haw!”
She glared at them.
“What, does the blonde wanna fight with me? The great Jeremy?”
She snickered, “I’d hardly call you great.”
He looked mad. Real mad.
“No need to fight.” Melvin said calmly.
She raised an eyebrow, “In your condition, you couldn’t hurt a fly!” She said scornfully.
“Hey, Jeremy! Do you want to meet my kantana? Or what?”
Jeremy’s eyes widened. “Uhhhh…. uhhhh…look at the time! I have to go now!”
He ran off.
“He’s all bark and no bite.”
“Are you all right?”
“Ich veratain. I’m all right.”

“I think I’m getting the hang of this!”
Melvin was sitting at the table in his house translating the old Greek technology when all of a sudden he heard a bang and something whizzed past his ear.
A bullet!
