Fire Trident crashed in “The Final Stunt” Race in I-ZERO. That would’ve meant Racer 7 was all-rights champion- until Gray Fire. He could win if he was 11 spaces in front of Racer 7. The Green spiral has nearly met his match. It would be a last-second victory.

Gray Fire first got a 6-5-5-6-6-6-10-6 on four corner, Leaving him as a high car. Averagely fifth, If you count out that slide-in second-place victory of Racer seven on lap 8. Gray Fire had 27 points. Ahead were Fire X, Ruby Engine and the three tops of the season.

In the Debrace, he got (we think) 16th place. This knocked him back into 10th, with Silverstar, F1 Twin 2, and Vulture 8 ahead of him. But Racer 7 also got knocked back to seventh. 16-13-13th, we think, in First Pin. Vulture 8 and F1 twin two were knocked behind him, although Grilly got ahead. Then he was 9th. We calculate a dissapointing 20th in GreCorner. But he remained ninth. Then he jumped up With another high 6 on Nik Pin. He got to sixth in the chase too.

He got 12th on T Switch. Biggie passed him in the points. His drop was dripping, with three to go. On Stunt Crash he survived to get a 10th. They say he got up to 5th, with 2 races and four cars ahead. Boost corner Advanced him to beat Vulture and Silverstar. And since Fire Trident crashed, there’s only two to stack. (maybe three.)

    “Okay, Class,” Mr. Lunblok said, “Today we’re learning more about Rome today.” Vulture looked up. He was interested in Rome ever since he landed in Pompeii. He sat by Senek and Zathilkon, two of his best friends. Vature and Fire Trident sat in front of him, and Caratil three desks away. “I hope this will be exciting,” Senek said.

    “Today we are learning about Nero,” Mr. Lunblok said, “The cruel emperor.” Zathilkon whispered to Vulture, “I’d say the dark emperor, from what I know about him.”

    “He was born into a cruel family,” Mr. Lunblok continued. “His grandfather was a charioteer and was a soldier. His father killed a low-class person and killed a boy on a famous road.”"The Appian way?” Asked Silent Turtle, the smartest person in 5L. “Yes,” said Mr. Lunblok. “But he was dead by the time Nero was three and his mother was away, so he lived with his aunt until his mother came back. His mother, named Agrippina, was a weapon for fame, and killed the aunt, also the grandmother of Brittanicus. Brittanicus wanted to be emperor, I think.” “This is getting cool,” Zathilkon whispered to Vulture.

“He took his toga in the year 51,” Mr.Lunblok said. “Octavia, the emperor’s daughter, was made to marry either Brittanicus or Nero…. ..But I do know that Aggripina poisoned the emperor for Nero. Meanwhile, in fifth grade Nero was taught by a Spaniard named Seneca. He was once banished for going on a date with a Julia. Seneca was helped by Burrus, a calm man from France.” “When will we get to the wars?” asked Lare of Battle.

    “It seemed like Nero and his group would be good rulers” Mr.Lunblok said. “Nero spoke respect to Claudius, who they thought was a god.  Seneca said for Nero to use Clemency- Trying  to act like Augustus, the first Emperor. Nero was the fifth. Nero said he would give some power back to the Senate. When he had to sign an excecution, he said ‘How I wish I never learned to write!’ He kept the calender from being changed to start at December. He allowed some Plautius guy to return from exile.”

   “He also had his mother as a co-ruler” Mr.Lunblok said. His password to the guards was “the best of mothers”. She wasn’t allowed to go to Senate meetings but could listen to them. But their friendship was growing apart. She then decided the power should  go back to Britannicus, son of Claudius. But Nero murdered him at the table, showing the true Nero for the first time. And now for the math test.” A series of groans came, and for a while Vulture thought about battling the Dark Emperor of their time- the Green Spiral.

One day Vulture and his friend Caratil were on a boat with Caratil’s father Nehophap. The boat went Into a tube. They shot through and ended up shooting  through air. Vulture lost his balance and landed by an inhabitant while Caratil and Nehophap went through another tube. The inhabitant was named Cotilor and had helped build the Tubular Island. He said they would be at a stop where he could meet them. Vulture ran across the island through the tube holders. Then he got to a tunnel which he ran through. From he got to Caratil and Nehophap, and they left Tubular Island.

Fire Trident’s back in leading!  On the race Four Corner he had gotten a 1-3-4-3-1-2-2-1, with Racer 7 and Vulture behind. After them Fire X, Ruby Engine and Gray Fire. Behind (Probably known schedule) Double Engine, Rusty, Grilly and some other car he came in on the Debrace. Fire X and Ruby engine were two points behind, with Vulture and Double Engine behind him. He got second on Hairpin Swipe, but Ruby Engine must have been behind. Ruby was a slick, mean, Tough Porshe…                                                                      …And Trident might not hold on. On GreCorner Trident was in the back. Vulture tried to get farther but was 9 points away. Then Grilly smacked Ruby Back to Fire X, his partner.  But Racer 7 had won first and took the position of First from Trident. Then on Nikanor Pin Vulture and R7 switched places, but Trident stayed third. On T Switch Trident stayed down. Then the jump came- Vulture and R7 crashed on Stunt Crash, leaving Trident first with 179 points.

The Military Of Quervatonia (MOQ armies) were flying through the green canyons when the Quervatonic 200 flew through. One blow and the Quervatonic 100 was destroyed. Lots of Mini-missiles were shot at the ship. They were returned by Mod-Missiles. One Mod-Missile turned into a robot, which dropped down two Quervbots to the flashing square ground. Then Xtar shooters, Exo Flights and an Xtar-Mertible attacked. The Xtars shot themselves at the ship. They damaged the ship and were destroyed. So were the Mini-missiles. But the Quervatonic got through.

In a little town on the edge of the beach, a race track was being built. For a while the cars would run on the sand, and then they would turn a little, go through the water and turn again. Then they would crash into the fence and the dune plants. Then they would drive through the condo, drive onto the street (Traffic lights obeyed) and turn left. Then they turn right a little and that was the end of the track.

The racer Vulture is right now the leader. In the first race, Four Corner, He won 3rd. Fire Trident and Racer 7 were ahead. He scored 8th in Debrace, where Vulture 8 was tooken out by the challenger. He was then behind Fire X and Ruby Engine. I think he got 11th in First Hairpin, where Grilly faced off another challenger. At that time Fire Trident was close to Ruby Engine in points, and he could not let his opponents win against the Green Spiral (The Barchaller of I-ZERO. A Barchaller is like a king.) In Gregonian Circle Vulture was trying to get past Ruby Engine enough to take it off. Grilly helped to smack the opponent back- But Racer 7 was now the lead. In Nikanor Pins the three top, Vulture, Racer 7 and Fire Trident, Went on a special course while the challengers and other racers went on the regular. Then the tracks met and went through the Lego Indiana Jones Obstacle piece. On the second lap, Racer 7 crashed down the Obstacle. Vulture was at the exit (like all those old adventures) But R7 and one of the F1 twins were smased in. Vulture did get to become the point leader, thanks to Biggie.

The five soon went into a rocky place. They had to get through. But then a pirate ship arrived. The captain was called One-eyed Louie. He said “I’ll give you the count of five fer you tu lower de sails, And if ya don’t, it’ll be no mor trips to Jolly Joe’s.” Hang on. You’ll see what he means. While Elliot tried to lower the sails, and One-eyed Louie counted and opened a cannon, Sedgewick had to use the bathroom. He  had no idea of what was going on. “One!” One-eyed Louie said. Sedgewick was in a small little room with a toilet. He flushed the toilet. BLAM! One-eyed Louie’s ship was shot! Shot by a thought-to-be-toilet!

The Quervatonic 200 spaceship was a Pholynecian Alien ship in the atmosphere of the planet Arbiston III. (If you have read my Caesar stories, you might understand that III means three.) It was used to destroy the Quervatons’ Ship- The Quervatonic 100. Inside it could seat nearly 2000 soldiers. Three seats were for carrying famous aliens safely across the planet. It was destroyed in a battle against aliens from Arbiston II (two.)

   The Helpseeker Ball took Elliot, George and Sedgewick back in time and they ended up in a rowboat on the sea.  They rode up to a big ship, which was where Elloise and her bulter were. The bulter thought they were attacking pirates! But Elloise thought they were their heroes. They set out together.

   Meanwhile, Alexander and his men were taken to an Island. The men were taken to a jail cell, and one took Alexander down some stairs. He fell. “Watch your step,” said his uncle.
