Hi Trekkers, In keeping with wordy fun, every month Elephant Child calls upon us to write. Today I am using words prompts provided by Alex J Cavanaugh as is tradition on E.C. blog. Prompts will be provided next month by Hilary Melton Butcher Here are the two sets of words, you can use either or all 14. Tell me what you think of my sci-fi story. Can you see the movie I based these characters on? Enjoy

1.BESERK 2.EARWIG 3.FIA SCO 4.GAZEBO 5.HUZZAH 6.NITWIT 7.THINGAMAJIG 8.PANDEMONIUM
"The games up" declares Captain Ninja of the USS Stormtrooper as he slings the lollybag across the rec table. Curiously a strange "earwig thing crawls out staring at the squad with it watery eyes and tries to bolt for it.
“Ugh” grumbles the squad choking down Guacamole.
"You can skedaddle if you want too but some Nitwit is trying to pick us off with these poisonous thingamajigs"
Carlos looks at his lobster and thows up. The rest of the squad groan in disgust pushing their plates away.
What kind of malarkey is this? sneers Lizzy amid the pandemonium and fear breaking out at the dinner table. Mateo stands up objecting crushing the horrible arthropod with the heel of his boot. The creature squeaked in protest but died fast.
"This whole mission has been a fiasco"
"Piffle" says Lizzy unconvinced enjoying her lemon pie custard dessert. "Your mean Mateo, why you kill that creature?" fire burning in her eyes.
"Oh Yeah? easy for you to say sleeping on top bunk with all those things crawling around!"
"Settle down squad" states Ninja calmly
NINJA |
"You guys are all heart" replies Carlos sick as a dog.
Suddenly the starship lurches to one side as the computer announces yellow alert in a rather drunken staggered voice.
"OMG!!! LOOK" cowers someone. "WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE, Now"
AMID the chaos a beaming10ft feathered creature paces into the rec room. Its feet look wet staining the deckplates almost like..... it clefts had ripped something apart in the gazebo but what???.
Ninjas squad are frozen stuck to the floor in fear as the intruder licked its beak.
The creatures red eyes glow when it speaks echoing a strange alien language across the chamber. Whoever it is, he points at Ninja.
"You "Huzzah" die!"
It was definitely on about something figured the squad planning their next move.
"Good Grief!!! Red Alert!!!" yelled Ninja ducking for cover as the alien goes beserk spraying a deadly sea of liquefying venom from its nostrils.
"What the hell?" cries Mateo firing off rounds from his UZI ak47 photon phaser rifle.
"STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY FAILURE" chimes the female voice computer happily as the deck plates groan under their own weight and buckle dreadfully sinking.
"Well thats just f*ckking great and who the hell put her in charge???? laments Mateo yelling frantically
"I've never lost a flagship before...NEVER EVER!!!" sighs Ninja shocked but taking a firm grip on reality amid wailing sirens.
I AM RED EYES |
"I am Red Eyes.....NINJA, its you or me!
....again the flagship Stormtrooper lurches to one side... sending the room into darkness....throwing everyone asunder. "Curse this place I hate it"
"Aghhhh - !" Fast as lightening Ninja strikes as the feathered creepers close in on the squad. lol
"How does it feel to face your own extinction human?" taunts the alien cic bezerk with manic laughter..

THE LAST STAND WHO WINS? |
"Never..... retreat or die Red Eyes, commands Ninja gripping a fist of feathers in his hand...... "computer set the ship to self-destruct"
The Alien Commander eyes widen in rage then terrified fear, "Nooooo please!!!!"
All the escape hatches fly open creating a vacuum as molecules collide and creepers fly screaming one by one through the air. The Storm trooper Ninjas have trained for battle simulations such as these only now....
Aghhhhh!!!
Ninja nods grinning with his hands around Red Eyes throat.
"Assimilate this!"
Is Captain Ninja too late or has Red Eyes won?
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER TREKKERS
