The Negative Bomb Attack -Part 1

Topic : Introduction to negative numbers

“Alert! Alert! It is about Uncle Bad. He is getting closer and closer to Samper town with his huge army”, says the message on Mr Message. Oh no! Is Uncle Bad planning another attack? 

“What? Another attack? Enough of this. We need to teach him a lesson such that this becomes his final attack”, says Cirha. Everyone agrees with her. They decide to put in all their energy and efforts to win this time.  

On one side, Uncle Math takes out all his important gadgets. On the other side, Triho trains all his friends to fight the enemies. Everyone is determined to save their home. 

Meanwhile, Uncle Bad and his army are ready. “Boss, you don’t have to go and fight. I can handle them alone”, says Acirho Boss. He doesn’t want Uncle Bad to enter the battlefield. Is this confidence or overconfidence? 

Acirho Boss and his gang enter the battlefield chanting their army slogan, “Hail Uncle Bad! We will make everyone sad!” They are ready to face their enemies. 

Bam! Boom! Crash! The kids fight them bravely. Cirho jumps on the group of Acirho and blows them off. Cirha manages to jump on Acirho Boss making him fall. Finally, he tastes defeat. 

“Arggh! Acirho Boss was useless. Boss, let me go this time,” says Asquarho Boss. Uncle bad decides to give him a chance. “Hail Uncle Bad! We will make everyone sad!” he chants and leaves.  

Asquarho Boss and his gang enter the battlefield. They get their powerful laser guns to attack. 

Bam! Boom! Crash! The kids fight them bravely. Squarho gathers all his strength and jumps on Asquarho Boss. He attacks with his laser gun in return but fails. The strong jump makes him fall. Asquarho Boss finally tastes defeat. The kids are elated.

“Arggh! I had high expectations from Asquarho Boss. He also turned out to be useless. Atriho Boss, you take charge this time. Go, get us victory, “ says Uncle Bad. Atriho Boss follows his boss’s instructions and decides to leave with his army.   

“Hail Uncle Bad! We will make everyone sad!” chants his army. “Triho, you think you can defeat me? Haha! You will taste defeat today,” says Atriho Boss and attacks him with his powerful bomb gun. Triho manages to save himself. He then attacks him back with his laser gun. 

The battle between Triho and Atriho Boss goes on for a while. None of them is ready to give up. “Enough! I will end this now,” says Atriho Boss and takes out his super-powerful number bombs to attack. These number bombs are so powerful that if it touches anyone, it causes severe damage to their body. Will Triho be safe this time?   

“Look Atriho Boss is attacking Triho with some strange number bombs whose numbers have a minus sign. What type of numbers are these?” asks Cirha. “These are negative numbers. We use negative numbers to indicate numbers that are less than 0. All the negative numbers have a minus sign as their prefix and are placed on the left side after zero on the number line,” explains Uncle Math. 

Bam! Boom! Crash! Atriho Boss attacks Triho with a -5 number bomb. “-5? What kind of a number of this? Is this a trick?” thinks Triho. Somehow he manages to escape this bomb. But the -12 number bomb manages to hit him. He immediately faints. “Haha! I told you, I will end this. Haha!” celebrates Atriho boss. Oh no! Is Triho alive? How will everyone save him?

Seeing Triho faint on the ground, Cirha comes running. Others join her too. “Triho! Wake up! Wake up,” she cries. But nothing works. Triho is still unconscious. The kids have devastated. Can Uncle Math help here? Will he be able to get Triho back to consciousness?
