He had mystical powers and always beat the villain, sometimes easily and sometimes barely. These mystical powers were passed down generation by generation.The fighter in the present day Brandon was very rich, so decided to go to the 100 years in to the future with a time machine. When the fighter arrived, he saw a world with robots that served humans and floating hover boards. He was so amazed by the technology that he almost fainted.

The people had to do nothing but just relax. After seven hours of decision making he decided to stay. The villain in Brandon’s original timeline saw that he wasn’t there, he laughs  and started planning his attack. In the future Brandon is relaxing in peace. The villain attacked. It only took him half of a day to destroy half of the world.


Brandon’s workers went into the future and tried to convince him to come back. They also said that the villain has destroyed half of the world.Brandon replied that it is of no use going back as he has already destroyed half of the world, but he did not know that if the villain destroyed the present, the future would not exist. In a day he destroyed the world in the present. As soon as he destroyed the present, the future was destroyed too and there was nothing left.


Villain - Killer sting.

Fighter - Brandon

Today was the last day for swimming. First we sat at the edge of the pool with our own instructors. Then we tried floating on the back with a noodle and without a noodle, it is same as sculling but without doing thumbs up and thumbs down.
