One day he went of expedition to the forest with his father. When they stopped fishing, Rex wanted to search a cave and his father stayed fishing. Rex saw many things there, but when Rex was going to sit on a rock, the rock moved to the left and he saw a giant hole on the floor. Rex fell down in the hole and he landed in a kind of barracks: there was someone. Rex asked to the person: “who are you? “I am Cratch, You must be Rex, the chosen one”. “What?” said Rex. Cratch came closer to Rex and told him: “You don't know who you are?”. “What are you talking about?”, said Rex. Cratch showed him a suit of a spy and told him: “you are Spy Pig, the chosen one to destroy Doctor Milk, according to the prophecy”. Cratch said to Rex : “Do you accept to be Spy Pig?”. And Rex said: “Yes, I accept”. Next day Rex went to the same cave, he went down to the barracks, but there was no one. Rex shouted: “CRATCH ARE YOU HERE!” but no one answered. He started to investigate the barracks but when he was coming to the kitchen something grabbed Rex and that thing took him to a closet. He turned and saw that was Cratch, Rex said: “Cratch, what happen?”, and Cratch said: “shhhh... silence kid. Rex said I´m not a kid. Cratch said: “that doesn't matter. Just make silence”. “why?, said Rex. “just ¡shhhh!”. After a few minutes, Rex and Cratch went out of the closet. Rex asked to Cratch what happened. “ I'm going to explain you.

Rex was nervous. He said to Scratch: “I am not going to go anywhere. I am not going to go out of New York”. Cratch said to Rex: “ Kid, you're not even in New York”. Rex discussed with Cratch a lot of time, Cratch said to Rex that he had to do a mission and if he does the mission, he doesn't have to go out of New York, Rex accepted the proposal and said to Scratch: “What is the mission?”. Cratch said to Rex: “the mission is that you are going to enter to the cave of Doctor Milk and destroy the laser beam”. So Rex put the suit and went to the cave of Doctor Milk in an airplane.

Two hours later, the airplane arrived to Doctor Milk’s cave. Rex jumped from the plain and landed in the cave of Doctor Milk, he entered and saw that there were two guardians in the entrance of the cave, so he got a rock and threw it to the guardians. The guardians were distracted by the rock and Rex and in this case Spy Pig, entered to the barracks of Doctor Milk, but when he entered he saw a lot of guardians, he had to fight. The problem was that he didn't know how to fight, but with the suit was very easy so he beat all the guardians. But then appeared a shadow behind him and it was Doctor Milk, Rex fought with him and he managed to beat Doctor Milk. Then he went to destroy the laser beam but when he was going to destroy the voice of Doctor Milk talk his behind him and said him: ´´Spy Pig do not do it, if you destroy that laser beam, not just this place is going to be destroyed, all the world is going to be destroyed including you ´´. Rex thought about it and said ok, I´m not going to destroy the laser. Then Doctor Milk laughed and said ´´You´re too silly”. He moved away Rex and he took the laser to a ship and said to Rex ´´Goodbye loser´´. And he went in the ship, Rex stayed alone in the barracks.

Rex was sad because of his fault he was going to destroy the world so he went to the barracks of Cratch and he said:´´I'm not the chosen one´´. Cratch said to Rex: “Why, NOT WHY YOU!” Shouted Rex. “Why did you choose me? Is the prophecy even true?” said Rex. Rex said:´ “You know what?, I am not going to be Spy Pig anymore ARE YOU HEARING!´´. Rex gave the suit to Cratch and left. He arrived to his house and slept like five hours. He started to feel an earthquake he woke up and saw from his window a giant red ship with a laser beam, he recognized fast the ship, it was Doctor Milk’s ship. So he went to his father’s and he told him everything that happened. His dad said: “it doesn't matter that you lose remember, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose”. Rex felt inspired, he went to the barracks, he took the suit. Then he went to the giant red ship of Doctor Milk and he fought with him. They fought a lot of time until Spy Pig stumbled with a cable and Doctor Milk slipped and fell from the giant red ship. Rex, Cratch, Rex’s father, New York and all the world are saved.

The End
