Sarah's adventures: battle for the key

Chapter 3: a rude arrival

3 hours later, a loud nock came from the classroom door. Everyone sat quietly, hopeing that there silence would mean there was no one in the room. Another nock "open this door!" A voice called from the other side.

Kids started to quietly moved themselves to the back of the classroom. The two teachers teamed up by grabbing staplers and textbooks. Again another loud nock "open this door or we shoot our way in!"

Kids shrieked in the back saying "where gonna die!" Or "shoot?! they've got guns!"

Another voice came from behind the door "are you nuts 976823, we can't shoot our way in. Their valuable cargo!"

"Well how else are we supposed to get in, are you a locksmith 723864?" The two people outside the door argued for a good few minutes.

Jack thought to himself, wondering why they could be talking in numbers. "Troopers!" He whispered loudly.

"What?" Tess asked.

"Troopers, storm troopers. As in Star Wars white armor dudes with really bad aim!"

Tess thought for a moment on this information "Really bad ami you say? I've got an idea!" She walked over to her desk and picked up a text book. "Let's say we show them what good aim looks like!" She hallard as kids shared looks. Most of the agreed, grabbing textbooks while the scared ones hid in the back.

The teachers hesitated for a moment, at first they wanted to say no but now, real action needed to take place. Once everyone was ready, Mrs. Orchid walked over to the door. "Get ready." She mouthed. Everyone stood, books aimed for the door. She slowly turned the knob and burst open the door. On the other side stood two tall storm troopers just as Jack predicted. One stood with his back to them, the other faced them.

"976823 you may want to turn around!" The trooper facing the door shouted. The trooper then turned around, surprised at the group of students.

"Charge!" Tess screamed and the group charged at the two stormtroopers. The troopers at the door set their blasters to stun and started shooting the student. Though they missed the group by a long shot. shooting more at the ground and ceiling rather than the children themselves. A few of the kids in front managed to knock them over with there textbooks, sending the two trooper toppling over to the ground. The two managed to crawl away from the book fire and the kids cheered in victory. Quickly they rushed into the hallway, thinking this was gonna be an easy escape. But as soon as they entered the hallway, each gulped at the sight. The hallway was filled with the sight of fellow classmates chained up at the wrist. Troopers also lined the halls,  blasters fixated on the group.

"Drop your weapons!" One demanded and practically all obliged. Another walked over to them. Kids huddled together, frightened. "Alright, which one of you is incharge of this little stunt?" The trooper asked rather calmly.

Mrs. Orchid, not wishing for any of her students to get hurt, came forward. "It was me, I told them to do it. Please do what you want to me, just leave the kids out of this!" She pleaded.

The trooper aimed his blaster at her "very well." A blue circular light shot out and hit her. Kids screamed as she almost landed on a fue. Mr Starlight caught her though.

"Alright, listen up and listen good!" The trooper yelled. "You are now prisoners of the galactic empire! I would suggest that you cooperate while aboard our fine vessel, cause I can tell you now." She paused, aming her blaster at Mrs Orchid's body "you'll have a fait much worse than hers! Am I understood?" Kids whimpered at her speech. "Am I understood?!" She asked more aggressively. Kids nodded vigorously. "Good, now everyone, against the wall!" The kids obeyed, lining up against the wall.
