             Gabe is just an ordinary human, living in Texas working at LA fitness, going to college, and playing lacrosse. He lives with his college buddies in a studio apartment and loves to work out. One day he came home after a long day at work and a long work out he went home and turned on his favorite show on TV. In the middle of the show a tall bald purple guy looking nothing like a human appears on his screen. Gabe continues watching curiously on what is going on, the alien then pronounces his name as Mark in a deep booming voice.
             He then begins saying that he is an alien from Mars and is planning on taking over the world but is first coming for Gabe. The large purple thing also states that he is giving Gabe 2 weeks to prepare for his coming. As Gabes show came back on he pondered on what just happened he came to a conclusion that it was just a prank from one of his crazy college roommates. Though he never did ask them about it.
              Gabe forgot about the TV incident and moved on with life for about 3 more days. On the third day he was heading to his car after and ran into a lady that said she had something to tell him about and also ask if there was somewhere private that they could meet. Gabe said that they could go to his apartment because his roommates will be gone for a while. What Gabe didn't realize was that he was talking to an alien named Swaffel. Swaffel then reveals her identity and tells him that Mark is real and he really is coming for him. Swaffel also states that she has come to help Gabe prepare for his battle with Mark the Alien.                                                                                                                           
             The next day Swaffel started with mental training, one of the things she said was that if Gabe cleared his mind then he will find his inner most powers. All night long Gabe tried and tried to clear his mind but it just wouldn't work so he decided to sleep it off. For the next 3 days Swaffel continued training Gabe in all the aspects she could think of but on the fourth day Gabe ran into trouble. In one of his physical training activities he was running but sprained his ankle, he went to the doctor and the doctor said it would be 3 days to 4 days to heal. If he waited 3 to 4 days that would give them only 1 to 2 days to train. Swaffel had an idea that would require a little bit of teleportation in which she has been practicing.
             Swaffel is a little red alien with bright red eyes and flaming hair, she lives on Venus. Her plan was to teleport to Jupiter where a special healing power is located so that they can continue the training. The plan worked as Swaffel thought but then as she tried to teleport back to earth she accidently went to Mars which is where Mark lives. Mark noticed them and went full out rage pulling out of his many weapons. He shot at them but right as they ran away a bullet flew right past his face. They snuck around a big boulder like thing and found a whole stash of weapons. Gabe quickly grabbed one the weapons with a blue liquid inside and went back around and shot Mark with the gun.
             Swaffel transported Gabe back to Earth and Gabe went back to normal life. He did not go straight back to training because he thought he had killed Mark but really he had just knocked him out. So the next day Swaffel came to Gabes house and told Gabe that Mark is not actually dead. So that day they continued the training because now they only have 2 days until Marks coming. They took a benefit from their little encounter with Mark noting that he is not very physical but instead he uses his many inventions and weapons.
            The day came on a Saturday in the year 2459, Gabe waited and waited then the time came. Mark showed up on a jet pack with many guns and gadgets and Gabe also had many things in which he took from his first encounter. Gabe would hide and then sneak up on Mark and hit his suit with anything he could find doing little bits of damage here and there. Then he decided to pull out the guns he stole and only got a couple of shots off before Mark noticed and shut them all off. None of them worked anymore which was a move that Gabe was not expecting. He needed a miracle and needed it now so that’s when the wise words of Swaffel came back into his head to clear his mind.


The author's comments:

My group is writing about a  page , called Gabe the Invincible, it's about an alien who comes to attack Gabe and, he has to train to survive against Mark the alien and how to defeat him.
In school, our group is writing a story matching the hero's journey. We thought  it would be interesting to write about an alien who comes to attack a person who has a power, but he doesn't know it. So our group is wanted to come up with creative, interesting ideas for our story so we could keep our audience interested.
I'm really glad you are taking your time to read our story. Our entire group appreciates what you're doing for us. We  have put a lot of thought into our story and how our characters act and what they're importance is in the story.
Best regards,
