Disclaimer: Chris Ryan owns Alpha Force, not little old me.

A/N: Some details may be slightly off, but just bear with me as I needed to change a few things. Nothing major, but slightly off some bits and the timing may be slightly different. Don't pay attention if I'm confusing you. I have written this first chapter as an experiment and will only continue if people want me to. Reviews very much appreciated. The plan, if I continue, is to write a chapter for each of the books so that will be ten chapters. Each chapter will have five diary/journal entries, one for each member of Alpha Force. Each entry will be written at different times throughout the book, so it will hopefully seem like you are seeing the major events through the characters eyes. That's the plan. Whether it works or not is entirely different.

Dear Journal,

I don't think that many guys keep a journal, but I'm an exception. Where to start? How about I'M STUCK ON A BOAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN WITH FOUR PEOPLE I CAN'T STAND?! I hate my teachers! They ship me off on a stupid educational holiday thing telling me it would be a good experience. Just wanted to punish me. That bloody sport teacher deserves what he gets! At least I have my palmtop, which is where I'm typing this. At the moment I'm being glared at by one of the other kids who has been stuck on this floating hell-whole. Amber Middleton is the most disagreeable person I have ever met. Just because her parents were rich and she has inherited everything that they owned, doesn't mean that she has to look down her nose at everyone else. We do not get along because of that and we are too alike in personality. I can't wait until this "holiday" ends. If I ever see Amber again it will be too soon. She's coming over now. Seems like I'm not helping enough. Maybe it has something to do with me dropping my side of the pot. Better save this and scoot.

Hex

Dear Journal,

The Phoenix is quite different to what I imagined. We have so much work and Heather- our Watch leader- is so fierce. She scares me. Just before, I had been swabbing the deck very well and was taking a short break when she came running up to me and telling me to get back to work. I was just taking a break and watching Li on the ropes, but that wasn't good enough for her. Speaking of Li, she is the nicest one of our Watch. The other three are ok, but not as nice as her. Amber and Hex fight all of the time- I think that they really like each other but don't want to show it- and Alex is so withdrawn. He stays to the sidelines and watches the rest of us. Heather just told us to write an essay and that we miss out on supper and the movie. I do not mind missing the movie, but as for supper... I will fade away! Li just came up to me and suggested a game of hangman. That is the best idea I have heard all day! We are meant to use the pencil and paper to write the essay, but Heather will not know.

Paulo

Dear Diary,

We are stranded. Stranded on a flipping island in the middle of nowhere! At least Heather would be happy. We're working as a team and have made a proper camp. We have a big signal fire just waiting to be lit... if only a ship or plane would come along. Unfortunately, the island is in a dead zone. No regular shipping traffic or planes. This sucks so much. Amber and I had to go and find some food while Alex and Paulo went to look for water. Hex stayed behind to look after the camp. Amber is such a spoilt brat! She insisted that we go through the swamp and then complained when a leach decided to have a bit of lunch. But I do have to thank her for that. Going through the swamp I mean. There is something BIG in the forest. If we hadn't of gone through the swamp, we would have met it head on. Whatever it is. I've gone through ever single animal I can think of that it might be, but haven't come up with anything. It's definitely a carnivore, as Paulo and Alex found the remains of a deer outside a cave. Well, if you count a small bit of liver and a hoof remains. I have to go help Paulo get the meal ready. I hope we get off here soon. I might be up for murder charges otherwise.

Li

Dear Journal,

Amber is one of the bravest people I have met. Let me start at the start. Hex was investigating this skeleton in a cave, when a Komodo dragon cornered him inside. Hex started a rock fall which trapped the Komodo dragon under it, but not before it cut him down his leg with its tooth. Li told me how much bacteria Komodo dragons have in their mouth and that Hex had only a few days to live if we didn't get him antibiotics. The skeleton Hex found was of a Japanese soldier, so we stuck Hex on a stretcher and hiked across the island. When we got their, we found a yacht. Unfortunately it had been taken over by pirates. A plastic surgeon, his wife and two children had been staying on the yacht and were being held captive. Philippe, the surgeon, said that he had a whole load of antibiotics in his bag on the yacht. I volunteered to swim out, but Amber insisted. She used a piece of plastic tubing from Philippe's daughter's toy giraffe as a snorkel, and swam out to the boat. We thought she was dead as the sharks suddenly went crazy in the water and there was all of this blood, but she made it inside the boat and back out. Her plan to phone out using the satellite phone failed as there was a pirate on board, but Hex got the antibiotics. I take back every nasty thought I had about her. She saved Hex's life and almost lost her own in the process. We're going to go and try to free Philippe and his family in a minute, once she has eaten. Paulo just pounded a mixture of grubs and fruit into a paste and she is looking at it with horror, but I told her that unless she eats them, I won't tell her my plan. Amber has sworn us to never mention it again, but by the way Paulo is grinning, I don't think that promise will be kept.

Alex

Dear Diary,

What a holiday! So much has happened; I have no idea where to start. I don't want to write about the start of the holidays. I was such a bitch then. Now. Now I have found a purpose. Alpha Force. Hex came up with the name. He said that Alpha was the first letter of the Greek alphabet (Omega, the end. Alpha, a new beginning) and that it is an anagram of our names. Alex, Li, Paulo, Hex and Amber. Alpha. We are going to do our best to change things in the world. Carry on what my parents did. I had no idea until Uncle John told me. I was shocked, but pleased. Before I hadn't cared what happened to me. Now I want to carry on their work with me friends. It still seems a bit strange to think of Li, Alex, Paulo and Hex as my friends. We met such a short time ago and I was so horrible to them, especially Hex, but I would trust them with my life now. I hope they would trust me with their lives as well. Hex sort of has already. Not that he had much choice, as he was so out of it. I know Alpha Force is going to do great things. The adventure is just beginning.

Amber

A/N So what do you think? I will still be writing my other fan fic, but have hit a writer's block at the moment and am waiting for inspiration to strike me. This idea came to me and I decided to start fan fic while the ideas were still fresh and flowing. Please review and an update should be up shortly! The chapters are short but as I said, I am planning on writing ten so that sort of makes up for it.
