THE PLANET BY MARK ANTONY RAINES

  




A long, long time ago in a galaxy so far away it would  take a earthlings spacecraft  at a billion years  just to get to the edge of it so I don't expect we see them soon  in the universe is  very  ginger, ginger galaxy...

Sitting on his chair watching his student group of wizards fly around .

Epsilon Eridani was happy  their technical skills then a dot appears like a speck in the distance .

Suddenly his idyllic life was shattered as the speck grew bigger and resolves into a wobbly ancient decrepit space station. 


Aboard  this space station were a race of Rurally Elfs who had travelled the universe to discover and conquer other planets then leave them devoid of resources and destroy all known life just for the sheer fun of it. 

The space station was ruled by Albert Randall who love of fraud; gruesome greed of wanting everything you had like a spoilt  child who loved assassination which he used to control his underlings. 

At this very point Civil war strikes the galaxy. 

Using his last of his magic Epsilon Eridani appeared in front of the robot Andrew who was the protector of the Empire s boss Princess Susan you should have seen her face it was picturesque. 




The wizard  informs them of the invasion of the space station and the civil war that has broken out among the wizards and the horrible elf like creatures. 

So all of them head to the main capital on the planet of Klendathu.

But when arrive are ambushed  so Andrew breaks out his ginger rifle to defend Princess Susan as a fight breaks out ;at first Andrew is winning the day but more numbers of Elfs arrive heavily armed.

The poor old wizard is killed and knowing that defeat was in the air Andrew and Princess Susan decide to do want all people say do in this situation was to leave Klendathu via the escape rocket  build centuries ago for such a situation. 


As they go towards the rockets hip they encounter the whole tribe of Elves with their leader Albert Randall at its helm. 

The robot and the Princess Susan are captured and retaken  back to the capital Exeter. 


At the city the victors what the spoils of winning the war and Albert wishes the Princess to be his bride until he gets his wicked way then he will just kill her like all the rest of his conquest s.

Andrew despite bring battered and seriously damaged challenges Albert to a fight knowing that he would accept due to his pride and the odds stacked in his favour. 


As ancient gladiators of old Abert and Andrew enter the arena all suited and armed to the teeth staring at each other in a bizarre game of a Mexican standoff. 

Just  as the fight  is going  to start a crumpled piano unearths  in the middle of the arena  both Andrew and Albert are stunned and confused  to want this meant.

A awful tune is produced by this crumpled piano and in a puff of smoke and quite a lot of dust the entire once idyllic galaxy disappeared into a dot of a dot on a speck of a finger of a giant playing a crumpled piano very badly making the audience ears bleed.


The giant finish s playing his favourite piece the Planet  and bows to audience and calm y walks of the stage to a chorus of boos. 

The end or is it the beginning of a new saga who knows who cares. 

Meanwhile in a small town in Devon on the planet Earth  Mark finished his very odd science fiction story and let out a sigh of relief.
