Lifting Off

The strange "rock", which had been in the crater in the forest for a week, finally moved.

Early in the morning, the little creatures living nearby were stunned by a strange sound. After determining that it was not the sign of another round of explosions, the daring animals slunk up to the edge of the crater through the woods and bushes, then proceeded to look at what the "rock" from heaven was up to. They were surprised to find that the culprit who smashed a big hole out of the forest had changed. The once black shell was now shining in silver and white. There was a beautiful halo floating over its armor, like the ripples on a lake's surface.

A strange humming sound like wind blowing in a cave was heard coming from the belly of that weird thing.
