Skylanders

One late Summer night I was playing Skylanders with my brother Zane.  We were just approaching the hardest level, The Lair of Kaos.  Bang we beat the Arkeyan armory and collected the magic element orb.  We teleported back to the ancient ruins.  Hugo the mabu was blabbing on about nonsense as usual and Flint was talking about how great he was.  Then we headed towards the core of light so we could teleport  to Kaos's lair.  Hugo came up to us and said
"I'll just type in some coordinates and, bang.  You can now teleport to Kaos's lair."
Huge bubbles surrounded us and we started to float up.  Bang.  A huge flash of light turned everything white and when it cleared we were in Kaos's lair.  Bones started raining from the sky and exploded into little purple shiny gems.  After it stopped two lava kings jumped off of a platform high up in the air.  They landed and started spewing their little red fiery minions.  They charged at us and we attacked.  BANG BANG BOOM!  The ground shook as fireballs exploded and lasers charred the ground at our feet.  BLAM!  The fire king exploded and all of his minions died.  We moved on through the gate.  It closed behind us.  There was some chicken drumsticks to heal us.
"Which one of us has lower health?" I asked.
Zane did so he took the chicken.  We moved on and stopped right before a large circular room with a huge blade rotating on an axis in the middle.  We waited until the right time than ran out as the blade followed close behind.  We made it into the corridor at the other side and were greeted by laser shooting Tech Spell Punks.  Little circles zeroed in around us as the Tech Spell Punks aimed their lasers.  We ran.  Blam Blam Blam.  The lasers missed us by an inch.  We charged at the Tech Spell Punks and smashed them against a wall.  They exploded and little blue tornadoes formed and sucked up their remnants then disappeared.  We walked in the the room and a gate closed behind us.  Drow Witches, Lava Kings, more Tech Spell Punks, and more enemies came floating in on flying platforms.  The platforms stopped and the enemies jumped off.  Bam Bam Bam.  Everything was mayhem.  Fire balls exploded and swords flew through the air.  The fight went on for what seemed like hours but then when the last enemy had fallen the exit gate in front of us opened.  We walked through the opening and the screen froze.  "I can't move!" I said.  Then Eon the dead portal master's ghost appeared.  All of your Skylander's have been returned to full health.  He disappeared and the platform started to move.  We moved away from the battleground, away from the gate, away from the land enemies.  The platform was headed towards a floating castle.  As we got closer the castle started to turn.  It turned and turned until it was finally upside down.  The platform moved closer and I saw an arena on the bottom.  The platform landed and we hopped off.  A little hovercraft floated up from one of the sides of the castle and in it was a tiny man with tattoos all over his face named Kaos.
"Bwahahahahahahaha!" he shouted. "You have fallen right into my trap!"
"I will use my minions to destroy you!" he said.
Three minions teleported into the arena and made their signature screeches.  The charged and we barely dodged their attacks.  We split up and took each one by ourselves.  Once they were all dead Kaos's hovercraft came closer.
"Perhaps you do have something special in you." he shouted "Then I'm just gonna have my brawlers bash it out of you!"
Three more minions appeared behind the first trio.  The first group exploded giving all of the next
group a higher level and they were much bigger.
We ran, dodged, and fought our elusive opponents.  Bang!  Another minion fell.
"One more." I said.
Slam!  The last minion fell.
"Minions," said Kaos "what is wrong with you!?!?"    "Well, it doesn't matter anyways because I have three more terrifying minions to take there place!" he shouted.
The old minions appeared and newer ones appeared behind them.  The older minions blew up giving the newer ones XP and making them level up to be even bigger than the last three.
Once again the minions attacked and we defended ourselves as best we could.
Countless seconds later all of the minions were defeated.
"FOOLS!" Kaos shouted.
By this time he was really getting angry with his minions.
"I shall use my Hydra!" he said.
A huge dragon-like beast with four heads that had been floating behind Kaos for the whole time moved closer.  Each of its heads were a different color and a different element.  The green head was Life, the red head was Fire, the blue head was Water, and the skull was Undead.  The fire head came to the front and growled.  Kaos's hovercraft shot down on the arena and mini volcanoes shot from the base of it in four different spots.  We dodged the volcanoes easily and attacked his hovercraft.  He had 9999 health and we thought it would take forever to beat him.  This battle reminded me of the other boss battle I had with Bowser in Super Mario Galaxy 2.  Blam Blam Blam!  Kaos was now down to half of his health.  We fought and fought until he was at almost zero health.  His hovercraft flew up again and he started to talk.  All of the minions that we defeated we surprisingly not dead.  All of them appeared below Kaos.  They all blew up sending all of their XP up to Kaos.  He now had back to 9999 health.  "This will take FOREVER!" I moaned.  Once again the Hydra attacked us.  The skull came to the front of all the heads and roared.  Purple beams started to form around us and we had to dodge them or we would lose a lot of health.  We ducked and dodged and every once in a while Kaos's hovercraft would shoot down and smack the ground right where we were standing moments earlier. Volcanoes from the fire head, tracking worms from the life head, doom sharks from the water head, and purple laser beams from the undead head all attacked us repeatedly. 
We were starting to think that we wouldn't finish the level today and would have to finish it tomorrow.
Minutes seemed like hours but eventually Kaos was down to very low health.  We had already used up half of our Skylanders energy.  "He's almost down!" I said happily.  BOOM.  His craft fell to the arena floor as his health mete lowered to 0.  "We did it!" I shouted.  Now we were back in the Ancient Ruins with Kaos floating in a bubble.  "Let me out!" he shouted angrily.  Hugo started talking about banishing him from Skylands and other punishments for his crimes.  Kaos in his bubble prison flew off into space.

Schools in Michigan should not have year-round calenders █ Updated

      Schools in Michigan should not have year-round calenders because it gives kids no time to relax.  If kids have no time to relax they will get overwhelmed and won't be able to take the pressure of school anymore.  If kids can't relax they won't get any time to hang out with their family or friends and they will start to feel lonely.  "It's a good idea, whether you live in the city or on a farm," said Ashley, who will be in 11th grade. "Without the summer off, we might go insane."   "It's a good idea, whether you live in the city or on a farm," said Ashley, who will be in 11th grade. "Without the summer off, we might go insane."

Why schools should not have year round schooling

Year round schooling does not improve students' academic achievement.  Year round schools and traditional school are technically the same because they both have 180 days.  Experts that have researched the topic found out that year round schools have the same achievements and grades as traditional schools.  Year round schools give you no time to relax or play sports with your friends over summer.  Year round schools are more expensive to maintain because they have to keep their cooling systems on all summer instead of just shutting them down like traditional schools.
