Flying Burger by Jared Martin

Fontasia was swept up continuously via the north pole into the sky to form a seamless water shield about one metre in thickness. This water shield covered the Fontasian hemisphere facing the oncoming fire-balls and remained in the stratosphere layer of the atmosphere. All the fire-balls were extinguished after passing through this water shield. The cores of these fire-balls dropped to the ground, while others landed on the pterodactyl nests in the mountain valley crushing the eggs! The parent reptiles were grief-stricken and all of them were seen flying above their nests making shrill cries. These flying reptiles flapped their wings powerfully and flew in circles above their nests.
    After several hours, the Grand Advisor raised his concern to the Overlord that the volume of ocean water had been reduced by thirty percent. All the waters of the northern hemisphere made up forty percent of the ocean volume with the other sixty percent coming from the southern hemisphere. Fontasians needed ocean water to irrigate their crops. The Grand Advisor suggested that all adult Fontasians be mobilised to fight the Evil One. Approval was given by the Overlord. The Sorceress of Azura was given the task of leading this army!
    “Where did the Evil One get his power from?” the Grand Advisor asked the Sorceress.
    “His power comes from the supernova explosions in the parallel universe. This is the most powerful black magic feared by all Magical Orders,” the Sorceress explained.
    The battle was heating up now as the Evil One extended his left hand too and more fire-balls came raining down on Fontasia. The water shield was slowly drying up and many fire-balls were able to pass through it unaffected. Many areas on the ground caught fire and the condition was getting worse. In the nearby mountain valley, more pterodactyl nests caught fire and the eggs inside it were burnt! In other parts of the jungle, many creatures were burnt alive by the fire-balls. Only some which managed to find shelter in caves, deep water ponds and other aquatic habitats escaped this catastrophe. A pair of chipmunks were among the lucky few which escaped as they happened to be near a deep river when the fire-balls came crashing down.
    The sorceress ordered the four robots to join the battle, after which she formed a purple shimmering globe around herself and flew up high into the night-sky. She had fair skin and purple eyes. With her black hair plaited neatly behind her head, the sorceress wore a diamond headband with a purple precious stone dangling from her forehead and a diamond necklace. This necklace had many diamonds weaved together at the front forming a V-shape. She wore white lace costume on her upper body and a matching long pant-skirt which flapped freely due to the strong air currents of the battle scene. She closed her eyes, lifted up both hands and began to send out telepathic waves to all adult Fontasians to march into war!
    Soon after, many Fontasians heeded the battle call and arrived on the battle scene. They came in many ways using their individual magic. Broomsticks, carpets, pails, tables, chairs, beds, tree trunks and even bath-tubs! Many Fontasians were bathing when the mobilisation order came and they dressed hurriedly and used their bath-tubs to fly all the way to the battle scene. These bath-tubs still had water in them! Those Fontasians who were about to cook their food had to give up the idea and instead stepped on two frying pans and flew to the battle scene. This ten-million strong army assembled close to the water shield looked formidable but yet comical at the same time. The four robots were among them and SAR22 immediately created two clones to increase its power.
    “Resistance is futile,” Kostara taunted.
    “Futile is absent from my vocabulary,” the Sorceress shot back.
    The Grand Advisor alerted the Overlord that all the ocean water from the northern hemisphere had been depleted! Zorak decided to enlist the help of Earthlings. He
