The elf

There once was a mean elf. He was always unkind to people he met,

He is helpful when Santa is around but when he’s gone he is horrible.

 He takes all the presents for himself, blames on other elf's, everyone knows how cruel

He is. He is a very cheeky elf. So make sure he doesn't steal your presents on Xmas

One night at the zoo all the animals were sleeping. All the animals looked fascinating when they slept. One night a meteor crashed and hit 7 animals. Instead of the animals being injured the animals had transformed into something incredible. They turned into goo jujitsu superheros, there super because they save the day. However, three of the animals turned bad and wanted to rule the world, their names were Rock Jaw, Snake and Scorpion. The good  guys were Blazon, Pan taro, Tigor and Thrash. Their leader was the cheeky mysterious elf. He was the zoo keeper but he is Santa’s little helper now. He is a good elf because he helps the good guys. He was trying to help them figure out how too use there super goo power. His name is Master Shift. They were entertain-able and enjoyable to play with. One day they saw the ultra rare YETYYY. Pan taro was trapped and was about to, get burnt in LAVA!. Luckily the ultra rare YETYYY came to save the Dy and freeze the lava. And Skull the dumb dumb joined the bad guys because he was getting called, the dumb dumb.
