General Banister was once a General from Northern China, but hungry for power, he betrayed the
thern Chinese, and planned to rule the whole of China. Hi army was an unusual one. It was made up
odiac animals, and every one of them had different skills.
The three colonels felt it to be strange – soldiers v animals didn’t make any sense, they thought, but
soon they realized that they had underestimated the animals’ abilities. The animals took over town by town,
keeping a lot of Northern Chinese villagers as prisoners.
The families of the people that were kept imprisoned and who were willing to risk their lives to save
their family members, wanted to launch an attack on the animal army, so, as the Northern Chinese grew weaker,
they were forced to send an SOS to Washington DC.
In the White House, the president has just got the SOS message from Northern China, when he
announced his plan to help China. “We buy a lot of things from China that we don’t have here. Northern China
is crucial to our economy. We must reinforce their troops.”
And so, the US Army sent thousands of heavily armed men into the mountains of China, as the war
grew fiercer and fiercer, with cannon firing, filling the air with the sound of killing machines. Every hour, five
planes would soar in, dropping bombs. The army fought on, day and night, not even taking time to sleep. For
the army, this was the toughest mission yet.
As their platoon moved closer to one of the enemy towns, the three Colonels fell into a crevasse. They
all knew what to do next as they activated their trampoline. They jumped down to the trampoline on the floor of
the cave and looked around them. The cave was dimly lit with torches, as though it had been alight for
thousands of years. As the soldiers moved closer, they heard something, the sound of marching troops. Was it
their allies sent to save them?
The figures moved closer and closer, making their appearance clearer with each step. As the Colonels
strained their eyes to see who approached, they saw spears pointing at them. “We..Are..The..Terracotta..Army
chanted the figures. The Colonels knew what the Terracotta Soldiers were – a clay army made to protect the
Emporer, Qin Chi Haan.
“
We fell down a hole and ended up here. We will put down our guns. We come in peace.
The Terracotta explained that there was an ancient wall down there called The Great Wall. No one had found it
before, but we want to protect it. We want it to remain a secret always”, said the soldiers drawing nearer with
their spears.
