Beowulf the Great General

            A sea monster has awakened in China, and is a big threat to the country. This monster was once known as Godzilla, but now they call it Grendel. He has been attack the big bell temple in Beijing. China has sent their military forces to try and defeat it, but they are no match for this unbelievably strong monster. They need back up, so they call America.  As soon as the news reaches the president of the United States, the president ask the all mighty General for his help.  The all mighty general has the reputation of being greatest leader who ever lived. He is known for his courage and bravery in battle.  His name is Beowulf. 

            The President calls Beowulf and tells him, “I need you in my office, code red.” Beowulf knew it was urgent because he indicates that it is a code red. He packed his bag and took the next flight to Washington. When Beowulf arrives, the president shows great respect and thanks him for making an appearance. He tells Beowulf our allies, china, is in trouble and that there is a sea monster destroying and terrorizing their country and they called for our help. The president tells Beowulf that he does not know what to do because he does not want this monster killing all of his men. Beowulf tells him not to worry that he will take care of this horrible monster and that he will pay for what he has done.

            Beowulf takes a small group of soldiers to china. They take off the next day in a private jet flying over the whale-road. China is aware that Beowulf is coming so they prepare a party for him. When Beowulf arrived the party was filled with celebrities from all over the world. They were drinking and having a blast, but Beowulf knew he was not there for his pleasure and delight, so he was completely focused. During the party, Beowulf was accused of being weak and pathetic.  But Beowulf just shrugs it off and tells him that he is a coward and a baby.

            Grendel waits until the temple is quiet and all the people are asleep. At 3:00 a.m., in comes this giant monster bursting the doors wide open with all his strength. Beowulf is ready. He sees that Grendel has no weapon, so he drops his machine gun and fights with his bear hands. Grendel is quick and strong, but Beowulf on the other hand is to smart for Grendel. Beowulf waits for a right hook from Grendel to rip his arm off, and sooner or later it comes. Beowulf was so fast that Grendel had no chance to react. Beowulf catches the right hook with both hands and rips his entire arm off his body. Grendel yells an agony. With all the strength Grendel has he uses it to escape from Beowulf.

            The president of china is very pleased with what Beowulf has accomplished. The president of china throws a big dinner in his honor. During the dinner he makes a toast to Beowulf thanking him and tells his people that he is the greatest general who ever lived. He rewards him greatly with a Medal of Honor and loads of money, and Beowulf respectfully accepts gift with great honor and integrity.
