: The adventures of a 21st century schoolgirl exploring the depths of the ocean and alien jungle, experiencing an adventure in the world of knights and saving an entire planet from space pirates.
Part I. The New Feats of Hercules
Moscow, the end of the XXI century. Schoolgirl Alisa Selezneva and her friends spend all their free time at the station of young naturalists.
That morning, Alice discovered that Pashka Geraskin had set up experiments in the laboratory and turned her into Augean stables, and forced him to clean up after himself. He dumped all the garbage into a huge pile, but was too lazy to take it out of the laboratory, instructed Heracles, who lived at the station, and left. Pithecanthropus followed the example of his mythological namesake - he sent a powerful stream of water from a garden hose to the laboratory window. Water brought out not only garbage, but also all laboratory equipment. They did not begin to scold Pasha who returned, he was most upset.
Pithecanthropus appeared at the station after an excursion of the guys into the past. Young biologists went to see "when and how the monkey turned into a man," and Pashka saved the young pithecanthropus from the saber-toothed tiger.
Pithecanthropus was taken with them, named Heracles and settled at the station. Everyone was waiting for it to begin to evolve, but Hercules "was satisfied with the share of Pithecanthropus." He was very lazy, taught only "edible" words and loved his savior Pashka, "like a lost brother."
Nerd Arkasha Sapozhkov wanted to grow striped apeloblok from the planet Penelope, but along with the seeds of the apeloblok, prickly Penelope weeds got on the garden and drowned the crop. It was impossible to weed them out - a square meter of soil was turned along with the root of the weed.
Arkasha went to the Institute of Time and asked for an experimental time screen - a large canvas, under which time goes back. The screen was placed above the plot of the apeloblok. Under his influence, time should have been “rolled back” two days ago, when weeds were not there.
The screen was turned on, but the young operator was frightened of a seven-meter python who lived at the station and crashed into a pool with dolphins, simultaneously hitting the control panel. The screen worked at full capacity. A rooster went under it and turned into an egg. Hercules decided to eat an egg and also climbed under the screen. Alice saw this and pulled a pithecanthropus from under the appliance. As a result, all the plants disappeared from the garden, the pithecanthropus was younger for six months, and Alice for two weeks, and from that day celebrated her birthday twice a year.
Arkasha was fond of breeding sensitive plants. The famous nerd psychologist gave him a stimulant powder. Even an ordinary plant sprinkled with this powder became sensitive.
Once the guys gathered for mushrooms, but Arkasha believed that picking mushrooms was inhuman.
In science, there is always someone with extreme views, but we must look for a middle ground.
Mushrooms grew in dense thickets in the center of Moscow, which by the end of the 21st century had become 50% forest. Arkasha went there and sprinkled mushrooms with a stimulating powder.
Arriving in the forest in the morning, the guys discovered that all the edible mushrooms had gathered in a clearing, surrounding themselves with an army of fly agaric defenders and an obstacle from woven branches. The guys immediately realized that this was Arkashin’s hands, and as a punishment they forced him to collect three baskets of mushrooms. But Arkasha never raised a hand to tear them.
Mosquitoes bit Pasha in the forest, and he decided to bring out migratory mosquitoes so that in the summer they would fly to the Arctic. He crossed a mosquito with a goose, turned out to be a komgu - a terrible creature with a half-meter sting. The team did not want to fly to the Arctic, but wanted to have lunch, broke out of the cage and drove the guys into the pool. Heracles disinfected the monster by picking up a stick for the first time.
A friend of the guys, the underwater archaeologist Stas, took them on an expedition to the Mediterranean island of Probos, where the remains of the fleet of the legendary tyrant Diostur were found. According to legend, the fleet disappeared when Zeus threw a star at him.
Alice took with her intelligent dolphins from the station. Once a girl sailed with them to explore the distant bay. A swallowed pill allowed her to breathe under water for three hours. There Alice discovered a crashed alien spaceship. Having freed the stone-covered hatch, the girl penetrated inside and accidentally woke a four-armed alien sleeping in an anabiotic bath.
The alien turned out to be a tyrant expelled from his own planet. He flew to Earth to conquer it, but crashed. The ancient Greeks took the starship for a shooting star. The tyrant spent three thousand years at the bottom of the sea, first going to reward the savior, then to leave him his life, and after that to kill him.
Now the tyrant decided to take the form of Alice and in this form to conquer the Earth.
All living things are divided into weak and strong, smart and stupid. The foolish and the weak should be enslaved to the strong.
Spas Alisa Stas - he was called dolphins. The gloomy tyrant could not understand how to make friends with fish, and what friendship is.
Part II Overseas princess
During the holidays, young naturalists went to the planet Penelope. This recently discovered planet was a true paradise. There were no large predators, poisonous plants, or even mosquitoes. But Penelope was far from other star systems, so only scientists flew at her. The only city built on the planet - Zhangle ... Instead of dots, the inhabitants of Penelope added any ending they liked - Zhanglet, Zhangleval and even Zhanglepup.
To Penelope, where the biologist Svetlana was waiting for them, the guys had to fly by themselves. Geraskin’s pawn was even escorted to school by his grandmother, but he’s never been in space. They released him only when Alice vouched for a friend.
Pashka was full of romance and longed for adventure. Arriving at Penelope, the guys stopped at a hotel to wait for Svetlana and go with her to the unexplored jungle. Soon, Alice discovered that Pashka had disappeared. She decided to find him before the arrival of Svetlana.
The trail led Alice to the Souvenir Street, built in the old-fashioned style, to the “Everything for the Spy” store. The owner of the store, Balthazarus Fuuks, bald, with dark glasses and a huge nose, admitted that he had sold Pasha a ticket to the “knightly” planet. He could not return the boy, but agreed to send Alice there too.
Equipping the girl with a long dress, a pass to the city and a document in the name of a foreign princess, a relative of the stepmother, Fuuks put her on a rusty, old rocket in his yard and ordered him to believe nothing. The rocket made a super-jump and landed in a forest glade.
Having walked along the path, Alice went out onto the trampled and dirty wasteland, where she met a middle-aged and bald man who called himself a royal jester. The day before yesterday there was a knightly battle, and the buffoon collected broken armor to turn them into scrap metal.
The clown saw the pashka, gave it armor and weapons, and even helped draw a coat of arms on the shield - a red arrow.
A real knight will take everything without money. This is the custom of the knights.
Having taken Alice into the city, a cunning buffoon forced her to drag a heavy cart with armor. On the way, the jester said that they live behind, the people are oppressed by “a handful of knights and princes”, and the Renaissance will not begin in any way.
Not far from the city he met the angry Marquis Fafifax - the Red Arrow knight freed the slaves whom he led for sale. Now he went to complain about the bully to the king. The Marquis reluctantly lent the "foreign princess" of his squire Griko - to drag a heavy car. To her surprise, Alice found out that the city on this planet is also called the Zhangle ....
Alice, like a princess, was given a room in the palace, where Griko undertook to take her.The jester decided to find the inconspicuous Pashka, while he still hadn’t done anything, but couldn’t find him, and together with Alice he hastened to a royal dinner to get ahead of the marquise sneak.
At dinner, Alice saw the king and stepmother Queen Isabella, a surprisingly beautiful young woman. She married the father of the current king, was widowed and now lives in the palace, as if in captivity, every day waiting for the bishop to poison her. Isabella pretended to recognize Alice, and also undertook to help her.
The king listened to the complaints of the courtiers against the Red Arrow knight, who, unlike the real knights, defended the weak. It turned out that Pashka freed a three-year-old girl, whom the bishop was going to burn as a witch. Execution relied on this.
The king decided to deal with Pasha when he was caught, and ordered to start a knightly tournament. While the knights fought, the jester found Pashka in the house of the witch he saved, but he flatly refused to return home until he fought with the offenders.
At the end of the tournament, the winner, the Black Wolf Knight, summoned anyone to the battle. The Marquis Fafifax called out, but here the knight of the Red Arrow rode out and summoned both knights to battle. The king allowed the battle, hoping that someone was taking him away. Thanks to his own dexterity and help, Griko Pashka won, the king handed him a crystal goblet, and then ordered to be arrested.
The trial went very quickly. The bishop’s main witness was a three-year-old witch, who confirmed that it was Pashka who saved her.
If you believe in witches, you have to believe that they can pretend to be girls.
The bishop demanded to send both to the fire, but the king humanely ordered them to chop off their heads.
With the help of Alice and new friends - Isabella and the jester - Pashka escaped execution. The guys rushed off in a prepared Isabella carriage, taking with them a little witch. The chase did not stop them from reaching the rusty rocket and heading home.
Arriving at Penelope, the children were amazed to learn that the witch was the daughter of Fuuks, and under the clothes of the owner of the store, Alice made out a multi-colored costume of the royal jester.
Fuuks, as promised, delayed the time, and friends managed just in time for Svetlana's arrival, which turned out to be a copy of the stepmother. So without confessing to anything, she returned Pashkin’s knife, which he lost in another Jungle ....
Part III. Penelope Holidays
Young biologists camped in the unexplored Penelope jungle. Once Mashenka Belaya plunged into an inflatable bathyscaphe to the bottom of the lake to explore the underwater world. Suddenly, someone started fishing with a net, although this was prohibited on Penelope. At that moment, two huge and toothy fish emerged from the depths of the lake and began to tear the net, but it turned out to be too strong. Then angry fish crippled the Bathyscaphe Machine - she barely managed to get out of it.
On the shore, Masha saw a man who called himself a savage of principle and declared that he lived “in full harmony with nature,” and he caught fish because he was hungry. Masha invited him to the camp for dinner.
The savage, who turned out to be a handsome guy, appeared in the camp in the evening, and immediately began to poke on the beauty Svetlana. But the Savage seemed strange to her - why fish with a net if there are fishing rods.
The next day, Svetlana, Alice and Pashka went to explore the plateau and accidentally stumbled upon a stone-paved road that led them to the ruins of the city. There, they unexpectedly met Savage. He undertook to lead the biologists to the camp and protect them from predators, which Penelope still did not have.
On any self-respecting planet, there are lions or dragons. Just need to find them ... to kill ... And take the skin. Until they had time to skin you.
Pashka, who was not taught anything by adventures in another Jungle ..., began to imitate Savage in everything. To the surprise and fear of biologists, they really met a predator - a huge tiger rat - and Svetlana had to shoot him with a paralyzing pistol. It turned out that they did not know anything about Penelope.
Svetlana decided to take the children away to Zhangla ... but the chief inspector of the planet’s nature reserve said that the city was destroyed by an earthquake, and all tourists would soon be taken out of Penelope.
In the morning, despite Svetlana’s ban, Pashka escaped from the camp and went to visit the Savage. On the way, Pashka was nearly eaten by a huge many-headed snake, but the Savage arrived in time for it and took him to his tent, littered with animal skins.
The savage told Pashka that he and Svetlana had long been in love with each other, but the chief inspector, “a cruel and evil old man,” interferes with their happiness. He will not forgive Svetlana if she leaves with her beloved, so the Savage decided to abduct her. Of course, the abduction will be fake - Svetlana already knows about his plans. The savage asked Pashka to return to the camp and not depart from Svetlana, and after the "abduction" on a spaceship hidden near the destroyed city, raise an alarm.
In the evening, an inspector came for biologists. Pashka decided to save the lovers and broke an expeditionary all-terrain vehicle, and then hastened to the Savage's tent. He was not at home, and in the tent the boy saw weapons, a spacesuit, a space transmitter and decided that the Savage was a tracker reconnaissance.
When a person wants to believe his friend, he will always find an excuse.
Pashka ran to the ruined city. Meanwhile, Alice suspected that Pashka had ruined the all-terrain vehicle in order to stay with Savage, and went off to look for him. At the Savage's tent, she heard the sound of an explosion coming from the side of the ruined city, and hurried there.
Alice met a tiger rat. He turned out to be a speaker and told people to get out of Penelope. From a further conversation with the girl, the tiger rat found out that people act independently, and not as a collective mind, and went away puzzled.
Pashka found Savage, who turned out to be a space pirate and a poacher. He did not need Svetlana - he just wanted the boy not to get confused under his feet. He flew to Penelope for the treasures that the former inhabitants had left here, and valuable fur.
Seeing the breathless Alice, the pirate realized that he was exposed, and took Pasha hostage. An inspector arrived at the take-off site and contacted the space patrol. And then a green snake spoke to them.
It turned out that the planet Penelope is intelligent. All its inhabitants are herself, and the planet can speak with the help of any of them. Penelope expelled the former inhabitants, because they hurt her - they chopped trees, killed animals, dug holes. People treated Penelope carefully, and she tolerated them, but the Savage again hurt her, and she got angry. The planet did not suspect that people rarely act together.
Meanwhile, a space patrol captured a pirate ship awaiting the Savage, and he surrendered. Alice, the inspector and the talking snake returned to the camp and scared Svetlana to a faint.
Part IV Pirate Mother's Box
By the end of the holidays, biologists made friends with Penelope. Before leaving, Alice received a letter from the planet Brastak from her friend, archaeologist Rrrr, looking like a one-eyed and tailless kitten. He invited Alice to taste skrrruley at the great festival, which was celebrated every three years.
The next morning, Alice went to Brastak. She also didn’t take pashka, who also wanted to taste the skrrruly, and he crept into the space liner, disguised as a tourist from Pilagei.
On Brastak, friends were met by the yellow-eyed “kitten” Mmmm. He stated that there was an epidemic on the planet, and locked them in a hotel room until the next liner arrived.
The food delivery in the room did not work - instead of food, a note popped out of it. Space pirates captured the planet, and the Brastaks were asked to report this to the Galactic Center. Alice decided to continue to pretend to be a naive tourist, although Pashka was eager for battle.
Soon, the wounded Rrrr crawled into their room and said that the pirates appeared on Brastak unexpectedly, as if from the air, and captured him in a few minutes. Among the brastaks there were also traitors.
When the conqueror comes, almost always there are those who think that it is more profitable for them to be on the side of the strong.
The nature of brostak can be determined by the color of his eyes. Good brastaks have blue, gray, or green eyes, and bad ones have yellow or orange. When the character of brastak is corrected, the color of the eye also changes.
All the yellow-eyed brastaki began to serve the pirates, and the blue-eyed were driven into the camp and are going to brutally kill them. Alice and Pashka are their last hope. Two days later, a ship arrives, on which they must get. All this time, Pasha will have to pretend to be a Pilagian tourist.
The next day, Alice managed to find out about the plans of the pirates. They were going to hide it somewhere, but the pirates did not expose Pashka and were going to bribe a stupid “Pilagian tourist”. Alice persuaded Pasha to stay and not leave the role.
Alice was taken away, and the Rat, a pirate, who knew how to turn into any living creature, appeared to Pasha. He took the "pilaguette" to his mother - the head of a pirate gang. The pirate mother turned out to be beautiful with a gentle voice, but very cruel and greedy. She gave Pashka a box of precious stones in return for the service: he will have to carry Rat to the ship, which will turn into Alice.
The girl was put in a close Brastak prison. Alice found out from the jailer that the looted treasures did not fit in a small pirate ship, so the pirates were going to grab a large airliner, and a “Pilagian tourist” would help them get into it.
Alice got out of prison, breaking her roof, and after a few hours she was already in the spaceport. Pashka and the Rats already entered the planetary boat automatically. Alice rushed to them, a fight ensued. During this time, the boat managed to fly to the liner. Alice explained everything to the captain, and the Rats suddenly gave up easily.
The captain sent a message to the Galactic Council and remained in orbit to wait for the patrol cruiser, and the children went to dinner. And suddenly it turned out that the liner was captured by pirates. Pashka, without knowing it, carried them to the ship in the casket of a pirate mother, which could reduce people - the whole gang fit in it. That is how they captured Brastak.
A ship's doctor saved everyone, spraying an experimental substance in the air that causes an irresistible attack of laziness.
Laziness is atavism, that is, the dying property of a person. The man of the future will forget about this feeling.
It affected pirates especially strongly. Mom even took off her mask and turned out to be extremely ugly. Only the captain remained awake, tied up the pirates and waited for the patrol boat.
Soon the guys were already at home. Pasha liked the adventure very much, he regretted only one thing - that he did not taste the skrrrul.
