Volume 2: Galaxy Uprising
Chapter 7: Clumsy, a Friend but Deep Down an Enemy
While Ana Cruz, Rex, Nikking, Nikkomam and Formiga were in the alternate world, trying to rescue Bee Woman from Huguel's hands, they encountered a new character. A character who appeared to be a friend, but was actually an enemy. A character called Clumsy.
Clumsy was a 12 year old boy who had the power to cause disasters. He could trigger earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, tsunamis and other natural phenomena with his mind. He could create chaos and destruction wherever he went.
Clumsy was one of the inhabitants of the alternate world, who lived in a poor and violent city. He was one of the orphans who had lost their parents in one of the wars between the alternate world factions. He was one of the rebels who fought against Huguel's oppression.
Clumsy found Ana Cruz and her friends when they were being chased by a group of Lord Zombery's zombies. He saw that they were strange and different from the inhabitants of the alternate world. He saw that they had powers and weapons he had never seen before.
He decided to help them. He used his disaster power to destroy Lord Zombery's zombies. He introduced himself to them and asked who they were and what they were doing there.
They introduced themselves to him and told his story. They told that they were from the real world and that they had come to the alternate world to save their friend, the Bee Woman, who was trapped in Huguel's palace.
He was surprised and curious about their story. He was impressed and in awe of their courage. He was interested and willing to help them.
He said that he knew how to get to Huguel's palace and that he could guide them there. He said he had a plan to distract Huguel's guards and soldiers. He said he had some friends who could help them.
They accepted his help. They trusted him and followed him. They didn't know he was lying.
He wasn't a friend. He was an enemy.
He was a spy for Huguel. He was a traitor to his people. He was a villain disguised as a hero.
He had been sent by Huguel to infiltrate Pedro and Formiga's rebel group. He had been tasked by Huguel with discovering the rebels' plans and sabotaging them. He had been rewarded by Huguel with money, power and protection.
He had pretended to be a friend of the rebels and heroes of the real world. He had pretended to be an alternate world hero. He had pretended to be Clumsy.
But his real name was Disaster.
And he was about to cause a major disaster for Ana Cruz and her friends.
He was about to lead them into a deadly trap.
He was about to hand them over to Huguel.
Disaster's betrayal was in progress. He had deceived Ana Cruz and her friends with her false help. He had taken advantage of their trust with his false plan.
Would he manage to lead them into the trap? Would he manage to deliver them to Huguel? Would he be able to escape his lie? These questions would be answered in the next chapter of Zombo Stars.
