Chapter 1: 

BOOM! As he looked back from his rocket, the new Nexus recruit saw an enormous explosion and part of the Venture Explorer blast to pieces. He hoped Bob was safe. Bob had saved him after all from being blown to nothing like the rest of the ship. 

The recruit's name was Jonathon. He wore jeans and black minifigure shirt. He knew the Maelstrom was very dangerous, but he was ready to stop the Maelstrom. After what he had just seen, he knew this was his mission even more. 

His rocket began the far-to-quick decent to the landing pad in Avant Gardens. Just before he hit the ground, his rocket steadied out and Jonathan jumped from the cockpit. He looked around and saw the beauty of Avant Gardens corrupted by the Maelstrom. The Assembly Highway, even though it was made of the strongest bricks, was collapsed in 2 places. Buildings lie smoking, burning to the ground. Small purple creatures ran on the grass. Stromlings, he thought. 

Then he stepped off the landing pad. He knew he was ready. He knew Imagination was calling.

Chapter 2: 

While in Avant Gardens, Jonathan did missions for many people: Paradox, Assembly, Venture, and Sentinel. He received a lot of gear and weapons. As he did the missions, he was most inspired by the Sentinels. Their bravery was, well, the bravest among all the factions. Their skills in weaponry were outstanding. Then and there, Jonathan decided he would become a member of Sentinel. 

When he was ready, he blasted off to Nimbus Station to choose his faction. His first kit he decided on was the Space Ranger. With his new gear, he set off to explore the stretches of the Universe. 

Being a newer recruit, no one paid Jonathan any attention. But that was all about to change....

Chapter 3: 

Jonathan's newly bought Sentinel Rocket touched down in Avant Gardens. The Sentinel's had seen something in their new recruit and had given him a special mission. He had also received a gas mask from the Sentinels so he could enter the spider cave. 

He raced past the monument unto Avant Gardens battlefield. A soldier saluted him, knowing Jonathan's mission. On the battlefield, Jonathan smashed the Stromlings that got in his way, but otherwise kept moving toward his goal. He put the gas mask on his head and stepped inside the cave. 

When he walked into the fog, all he could feel was the presence of the Maelstrom. Now, you might be wondering what his mission was. It was to spy on the Spider Boss himself, and to find the Spider's weakness. 

Jonathan knew he couldn't be seen, or he'd be smashed. He slowly went down the cave and in a large cavern, he saw the Spider Boss. 

And he didn't look happy.

Chapter 4: 

Zap! 

A bolt of electricity flew past Jonathan's head. He couldn't believe how the spider had found him so quick. Jonathan jumped out of the way of another mad electric blast. He ran and hid behind a nearby rock and loaded his Space Ranger guns. He lifted the guns above his head and shot randomly. The Spider Boss just got madder. 

The Spider Boss hissed and fired electrical blast at Jonathan. Jonathan heard the Spider Boss coming closer to his hiding place. The Spider Boss crushed the rock Jonathan was hiding behind with one quick movement of his leg. Jonathan ran for it. 

But as he walked for the entrance of the cave, he saw hundreds of Spiderlings blocking his way. He was trapped. He turned to face the Spider Boss. Maybe speed is his weakness, he thought. He ran at full speeds and slid under the Spider Boss's legs. Jonathan had been right: The Spider Boss could have been faster. 

Jonathan continued down the cave, deeper in. He was sure the Spider Boss was still chasing him from the sound of metallic clicks and hisses. Jonathan had no idea where he was going. He just had to escape.

Chapter 5: 

A little while later, Jonathan stumbled upon a small opening of light at the top of the cave. He wanted to stop and take a break, and the Spider Boss had probably given up on him already, but Jonathan wasn't taking any chances. 

He began to climb the rocks that led to the opening. It was a long and gruling climb. The boulders were set up at almost a straight angle. Hours later, he reached the opening. He was so relieved and worry-free when he saw a Stromling peak its head through the opening, he freaked out. 

Jonathan instantly lost his grip and went tumbling back into the darkness. 

A long time later, he was at the top again. He sat down outside the opening and took out a journal and began writing notes down about the Spider Boss. When he was done, he looked up. “Where am I?” he thought.
