The Crystal Cannon
\nScientists carefully monitored the Sacred Temple of Anubis in Egypt. Scientists inside were translating hieroglyphics into modern language. One scientist pressed down on a hieroglyphic and a secret passageway opened up. And there before him was the most legendary treasure of all. He ran up to the cannon and studied it carefully. It was pure emerald! Unfortunately, the scientist was unaware of the closing passageway door, and was trapped inside FOREVER\u2026 My name is Connor, and I have a tale to tell.<\/p>\n
Connor and Kieran were like any other boys. Connor had a dog called Waffles, which he took with him anywhere. Waffles was a Springer spaniel who loves Doggy Yum Yums (A Nyanto treat for dogs everywhere, but we won\u2019t go into detail.) One day the two friends met at Kieran\u2019s tree house and discussed the normal chat, and all of a sudden Kieran bought up the Tall Ships Regatta. I\u2019m going tonight, do you want to come with me. Connor couldn’t help but say yes! Waffles barked with delight!
\nAt 4:15pm, and the stores were excellent. The festivities were brilliant. They got Waffles a John Dyer raincoat, which was handy if the ships splashed water near the viewing point. At 8pm, the Tall Ships entered Falmouth Bay, but Waffles started to growl meanly. \u201cWhat is it boy?\u201d asked Connor. He looked directly where Waffles was barking. And there, coming into Falmouth, was a dark, wooden ship. Aboard the ship was a gang of\u2026 Pirates. \u201cAvast thee, landlubbers!\u201d shouted the captain. \u201cI be Wavebeard, the second most dangerous pirate, who ever roamed the seas. My brother was Blackbeard, and I do believe I shall be one too!\u201d
\nFearful sailors steered their ships away from Falmouth harbour to escape the pirate\u2019s clutches. Wavebeard landed on the harbour and told the rest of his crew to come back for him after he found the \u2018treasure\u2019. Connor, Kieran and Waffles hid behind a barrel and heard Wavebeard saying something about a \u2018Crystal Cannon\u2019, \u2018Flint and steel\u2019 and ‘BLOWING FALMOUTH UP???’ Connor was so scared now. The terrific trio ran over to Captain Luca’s hut by the sea to rent a boat. Lucas told them that the sea was too dangerous, but they could get one for free. He also mentioned that Peacocks had a 25% off sale if they wanted to go there instead. It was a hard decision, but in the end they took the boats. Captain Lucas gave them swords so they could defend themselves if the pirates spotted them. Soon they sailed out from the harbour and reached the pirate ship. They heard the crew, hearing sea shanties, as they climbed aboard the ship. Suddenly the crew spotted our three heroes. \u201cAre you here to stop us?\u201d asked the pirates. Kieran nodded slightly.
\n\u201cWe wanted to kill the old hag ages ago, and since you have the courage, we could use your help!\u201d
\nThe crew seemed like bullies, but they were actually really sweet and kind. The captain\u2019s first mate drove the ship to the docks and parked. \u201cOur captain said he was going into \u2018ye old booty store\u2019.\u201d Said the lookout.
\nConnor and Kieran thought for a moment. Where in Falmouth was a \u2018booty store\u2019? \u201cIt must be that bank \u2018Pirates Cove\u2019!\u201d Connor exclaimed.
\nConnor, Kieran and Waffles ran off into the streets of Falmouth, darting towards Pirates Cove bank, hoping to stop Wavebeard from destroying a very special place of English history. Meanwhile, Wavebeard somehow got into a special safe in the Pirates Cove bank and stole the Crystal Cannon. As he was about to return to his ship, out of the blue Connor, Kieran and Waffles made him surrender. Wavebeard vowed he would return, but the 9 year olds reassured him, because his crew\u2019s family lived in Falmouth and would be devastated if they were destroyed. \u201cYou will pay for this!\u201dShouted Wavebeard back at the troublesome trio.
\nThe event was moved to another day, and finally, it was safe at last.<\/p>\n
