I am writing a series of books about the Nungldash Heores. Here is the first in the series (Its not that good):

The Tanran Catastrophe


    Introduction:
Bubble woke up. He yawned and looked out his window. His favorite thing to do was look out the window, because you can see all the stars even when it is not night. How? Bubble is in space. He is in a miniature spacecraft and he travels everywhere stopping trouble. Alien trouble. He has seen many aliens in his life. So has Steve. Steve is Bubble's travel partner. Both of them fly around in their ship wherever they feel they must go. And they stop evil together too.


    Chapter one: T.R.Z.P
Later, Bubble left his room and walked into the main part of the Nungldash. The Nungldash stands for Not UNderGround Lab Disguised AS a Hill. Steve was there, and he obviously had been waiting for Bubble to get up.

'You slept in again' He says annoyed.
'I know' Bubble groans.
'So, where are we off to today?' Steve asks.
'Right. That is what we need to find out' Bubble says as he runs over to the control panel. He punches in some codes and presses a few buttons and pulls some levers.
'It looks like we are headed too....' Bubble says as he waits for their destination to appear on the screen.
'HAWAII!' Shouts Steve.
'No. We are headed to a place called T.R.Z.P.'
'T.R.Z.P?'
'Tan-Ran-Zan-Pan. They just shortened it.'
'Oh'
Suddenly, the ship lurched forward.
'Looks like we are going to Tan-Ran-Zan-Pan!' Bubble shouts over the noise.
The finally land safely. T.R.Z.P. is not what they expected. The planet was made of steel. And covered with garbage. Destroyed tall buildings in the distance, trash piles laid out everywhere, dust in the air. The sky was sepia and the clouds were grey-green. It was a horrible looking place.
Steve gasped. 'Tan-Ran-Zan-Pan is a dump!'
'It wasn't always like this.' Bubble says. 'The Tanrans used to live in peace. Then, they polluted their own planet too much and had to leave in a giant space ship. That is it.' He points at a ship in the sky. 'They sent down robots to clean up. Self-learning robots. They learn new ways to clean just like humans.'
'Well that is good, right? They are cleaning up?' Asks Steve.
'Kind of. But there is something wrong. Why is there still so much garbage?'
'Maybe they didn't clean this area?' Suggests Steve.
'Maybe... Oh wait I get it...... No.....' Groans Bubble.
'What?' Asks Steve.
'The robots are gone'


    Chapter two: The Steel Custodian
Bubble had already ran off before Steve could say anything. Steve ran after.
'So, how will this planet ever get restored?' Asks Steve.
'It won't' Says Bubble.
'That's all? It will stay like this forever?' Wonders Steve.
'Those poor Tanrans up there are thinking they will be able to come back soon when they never will.' Bubble said glumly.
Then, something caught Bubbles eye. A square robot was there, vacuuming up some trash.
'Steve look!' Bubble said.
Steve looked over and gasped.
'It is the robot!' Exclaimed Steve.
'Must be the last one! Let's follow it.' Said Bubble.
They followed it for a while. It was mainly just sucking up trash with its vacuum but then it went into an old tattered building. It was loading the garbage into a container.
'What is it doing? Asked Steve.
'Let's see.' Replied Bubble.
Suddenly, there was an explosion. Bubble grabbed Steve's arm and ran outside. They saw the garbage pile floating away into space.
'Where's it going?'  Asked Steve.
'Oh No! It shot it to another nearby planet!'
Bubble used his wristwatch scanner to scan the planet.
'It is sending it to an innocent planet called Beauport. It is the neighboring planet of Tan-Ran-Zan-Pan'
Suddenly, the little robot came out of the building. Bubble tackled it down. It was rapidly firing shots of gunk at Bubble. They rolled around and then Bubble whipped a wrench out of his coat pocket and smacked it on the head. It stopped.
'Nothing you can't do with a wrench' Said Bubble, smirking.
Suddenly,  another smaller flying robot came and picked it up and carried it away. Bubble lunged up and grabbed the robot and Steve came after. The flying robot was trying to shake off Bubble and Steve without dropping the broken other robot. Steve was flailing around while trying to hold onto Bubble leg. Finally, one of the robots arm came loose and dropped down, taking Bubble and Steve with it.


    Chapter three: Rubbish Cannons
Bubble woke up from the darkness. He was lying on the ground, holding a shiny steel arm. He shook Steve awake.
'Where's the robot?' Asked Steve.
'Over there' Said Bubble, pointing to a robot far in the distance, flying away carrying the other robot.
'Where's it going?' Asked Steve.
'Probably to repair the robot I disabled.' Bubble answered.
'How do we stop it?' Asked Steve.
'You are full of questions, aren't you?' Said Bubble 'We can't right now. We don't know where it's going.
'Hmmm...' Mumbled Steve. 'Why don't you scan that arm and track down where the other one is?' He suggested.
'Genius!' Exclaimed Bubble. He picked up the arm and scanned it with his wristwatch. 'Now I have locked onto the other one. We just follow this compass' He explained.
They had walked for days upon days. Finally, they found the only building that wasn't destroyed.
'It must be in there' Said Bubble.
They entered. Inside, was, as expected, the robot, hurriedly loading more trash into more cannons. A few of them fired. When the robot saw them, a hole in the ground opened and it fell down a chute. Before it closed, the two popped down after it. They slid down and around a bit, and finally landed in a chamber with a splash. They were floating in green guck with bits of garbage on it.
'Ew' Said Steve.
'Ew is right' Agreed Bubble 'After that robot!'
They chased it around. Finally they cornered it. It started shooting garbage at them again. Bubble shoved a rotting apple into its gunk shooter. It was clogged, and couldn't shoot more. Bubble and Steve picked it up and ran back to the building with it. Then, the apple shot out with a pop and smacked Steve in the head. Steve collapsed on the floor. The robot started firing at Bubble again. It went to a cannon and aimed it at Bubble. Bubble Braced Himself. Then...

It Fired.


    Chapter four: Do it
A huge, blob of gunk smacked into Bubble, sending him smashing into another cannon. Steve woke up.
Quickly, Bubble thought up a plan. If Steve fired the cannon, it would hit him sending him into the robot. It was a big risk, but he decided he had to do it.
'Steve! Fire the Cannon!' Shouted Bubble.
'But it will kill you!' Exclaimed Steve.
'DO IT!' Shouted Bubble, louder.
'Um- ok' Stuttered Steve hesitantly.
He went over and fired the cannon. Another blob of gunk came and smacked into Bubble, even harder than the first time. It sent him flying back across the room, right into the robot. He heard a crack, an electrical buzzing noise, and then he blacked out again.
When he woke up, he was in front of Steve, and an old tattered, broken robot. The flying repair robot came, but Steve picked up the apple that hit him and threw it at the robot, so it dropped out of the sky.
Bubble got up, brushed himself off, and then mumbled 'How will we clean this up?'
'I don't know' Sighed Steven.
Bubble thought and though, until it hurt. He strained to think of a way to undo the Tanran's mess. Then it came to him.
'This planet is steel. Its core is not fire, or magma, but it's a void. The void holds it all together. If we open up a way to the void, all the garbage- and possibly us- will get sucked in' Bubble explained to Steve.
'When you say 'and possibly us'- you mean we are going to put ourselves in danger again?' Asked Steve.
'Oh yes. That IS what we live for, right?' Asked Bubble.
And then he took off. Ran over to the chute that lead to the sewers. He smashed it open with his wrench. Then, as he fell down the chute, he stopped himself with his hands. Then, he cracked open the tube too. He jumped down. Steve followed after. The jumped down various parts of the tubes. Then, at the bottom, he saw a code. He punched in the emergency code he hacked.
'What does the emergency code do?' Asked Steve.
'This!' Exclaimed Bubble, and smacked down the enter button. There was vibrations, and then the floor opened.
'Grab onto something!' Yelled Bubble.
Steven did as he was told. Suddenly, garbage started falling from the sky, some hitting Steve and Bubble's heads. Then, after a while, it all died down. The floor closed, the garbage, and Steve's shoe getting lost in the void.
'My shoe is down there' Steve complained, staring at the floor.
'Come on. Let's go. All the garbage is gone, from Tan-Ran-Zan-Pan and Beauport' Bubble said.
And so they left. They went back to their ship.
'Ah yes. Our ship, still in perfect shape. Let's go!' Said Bubble.
'But my shoe!' Said Steve.
'Come on' Bubble said again.
So they went in. With a press of a button, the two shot of back into the universe- the place where stars shine during day.

    THE END

    Epilogue:
From the ship, Bubble sent a message to the Tanran ship saying they can come back. The Tanrans even built a monument of Bubble and Steve on their planet. Tan-Ran-Zan-Pan and Beauport can now live in peace.


The next in the series is coming soon.
