Yoshi woke up. He cracked his neck and looked around. Tropical trees, volcano, giant bird in the air, a sleeping Zack lying a few feet away. Yoshi quickly looked back up. His eyes widened and he jumped up.
"Zack! Zack! Wake up!"
"Hnn? Mommy.. I'm tired."
"Wake up!" Yoshi yelled kicking him in the stomach. Zack sat up and glared at Yoshi. He rubbed his belly and pouted.
"That hurts.."
"THERE'S A HUGE FRIGGIN BIRD IN THE SKY!"
"You woke me up for THAT?"
Zack laid back down. One of his eyes opened and he peaked around, just now realizing he wasn't in his bed, at home. Yoshi folded his arms and looked around. The two seemed to be alone. He cringed at the thought of the two being all alone. He didn't have anything against Zack, but he needed some peace and quiet every now and then. Those words were definitely foreign in Zack's vocabulary.
"Where are we?"
"If I knew I wouldn't be so freaked out about a giant bird!"
"Where is this giant bird of yours?"
"It flew off.."
"It would've attacked us already if it was dangerous. You watch too much Godzilla."
"I'll show you g-" Yoshi got interrupted by a loud scream. He turned his head towards the scream and started running. He knew that voice. Zack jumped up and followed after him. He too recognized the voice. The two ran through some bushes and found Trent Barreta sitting on the ground, crawling backwards. He crawled up and saw Yoshi and Zack. Zack's face paled. Trent was bleeding heavily, and one of his arms was completely torn off. He looked backwards. The other two men quickly followed his gaze. Zack cried out and ran. Yoshi looked at Trent. Trent held onto his shoulder, trying to stay strong.
"You okay?" Yoshi slapped his forehead. "Of course you're not, I mean do you think you can run."
"I don't think we have a choice man."
The two looked at each other once and quickly ran for their lives. They soon caught up with Zack and ran for their lives. They found a 'safe' spot and sat down, taking a deep breath. Zack was sitting with his knees to his chest, rocking back and forth. His hands buried in his hair.
"This is just a nightmare. None of this is real. This didn't happen. Trent's arm didn't just get eaten by a dinosaur. I'm dreaming, yes, yes, I should go back to sleep and wake up in the real world. Hah! What a silly dream!" Zack mumbled, going slightly insane.
Yoshi sighed as he failed to make a camp fire. Suddenly the pile of leaves and twigs caught on fire. Zack shrieked and Trent just gaped at Yoshi. Yoshi's eyes widened. He held his hand in front of his mouth.
"I'm not the only one?" Trent mumbled. "Yoshi.. you just breathed fire didn't you?"
He quickly shook his head.
"You're not alone." Trent said, making a small plasma bolt in the palm of his hand. "How did you think I survived? Have you seen those jaws, he could've swallowed me whole. Man, when I woke up I had no idea. But when I got attacked, it felt like breathing."
"Someone's going to have to take me to a mental hospital." Zack said laughing loudly, shaking his head wildly. Yoshi stood up and walked over to Zack. He slapped Zack hard across his cheek. Zack grabbed his cheek and looked at Yoshi with teary eyes.
"Thank you. I was going a little insane."
"Yeah, just a little. You have every right too, I mean you have two arms." Trent mumbled.
"I'm sorry, I'll leave you two super powered beings alone."
"You're staying with us." Trent stated. "None of us know how we got here, we just found out we have superpowers, maybe you'll get one too. Actually I don't remember much from before I woke up here.."
"To be honest, I can't remember much either." Yoshi mumbled.
"Me either.." Zack said.
"We'll have to keep that in the back of our mind. I guess for now we'll take turns for night watch and get some sleep. Tomorrow we can explore this place. Maybe we can find a village or at least a save hide out and some food."
Trent was the first to take night watch. He sat by the fire as the two other men slept. Time passed slowly. As Trent got tired he woke up Yoshi to take his place.
Trent woke up and yawned. It seemed like he had only slept an hour. He looked around and saw Yoshi and Zack talking. Trent got up and joined the two. They sat and talked for a little before they split up in two to find food. Trent and Zack headed North while Yoshi headed South.
On another part of the island..
"What the.. where am I?" a confused Heath mumbled.
"HEATH! You're awake!" Justin yelled hugging his friend.
"What are you doing?" Heath mumbled awkwardly.
"You've been in a coma for 1,5 years.. I woke up here yesterday. I found Wade and Ezekiel. They're here too."
"Don't you mean Rycklon and Stu? We never call them Wade or Ezekiel outside the ring."
"Outside the ring? What are you talking about? Their names areWade and Ezekiel. What kind of names are Rycklon and Stu? Seriously. How did you even come up with those. We're colleagues. We work at an office."
"Office? What are YOU talking about? We're wrestlers!"
"You must have been hit pretty hard, well, you were out for over a year.. so I guess you could've dreamed it.."
"No! I'm sure of it! We're tag team champions! And the four of us formed a group called the Corre, before the Corre we were part of nexus, which was led by Wade. But CM Punk fired him and took over, the two of us refused to join the New Nexus and formed the Corre with Ezekiel and Wade. You were a model before you joined WWE. Wade was a bare knuckle fighter. Ezekiel was a part of WWE way before we were.. nah mean?"
"Me? A model?" Justin asked laughing, he ran his hand through his hair. "I guess I'm good looking enough.."
"I'M SERIOUS! IT'S TOO REAL NOT TO BE REAL! DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME! STOP LAUGHING!"
"I'm sorry man but that's just ridiculous. It may have seemed real because it was a dream."
"Justin! We've found food and company!" a voice yelled.
Justin and Heath looked in the direction the voice was coming from. Four men appeared. All carrying food. Leavy food and fruits mostly. They put everything down and stared at Heath.
"Hey man, you're awake." Wade said.
"Who are those two?" Justin asked.
"You're Cody Rhodes and you're Ted DiBiase right?" Heath asked.
"Cody Runnels. Yes."
"I told you! Those guys are wrestlers too." Heath said.
"Wrestlers? Us? Me? With this pretty face, I don't think so." Cody said laughing.
"But I knew your names.."
"Everyone does, we're two of the biggest socialites."
"Yes, and our fathers own two of the biggest businesses." Ted joined in.
"Guess it was all a dream.."
"Well, Let's sit down and we'll explain everything to you as we eat. Must have been pretty odd waking up here, huh?" Ezekiel asked.
Heath nodded. Everyone sat down in a circle. Everyone started to eat as Ezekiel turned to Heath.
"I'll start at the beginning. Yesterday I woke up, I'd say somewhere after noon. I didn't have allot of memories left. I knew a few facts but that was that. I saw Wade looking up at the sky and I saw the two of you sleeping. Wade and I talked, and he too, couldn't remember allot. We came to the weird conclusion someone might've put us here. It sounds weird but, we woke up here suddenly, we can't remember allot and YOU are here. We haven't spoken to you in ages. You went into a coma after an accident. And it'd be weird if we went here, god knows where this is, and take you with us. Being kidnapped makes more sense. We had no idea where we were so a few hours ago we went exploring a little and found edible stuff. We didn't see any wild animals but heard them last night so there are bound to be some around here. We came across Ted and Cody who were still sleeping. We woke them up and took them here."
"Wait. You guys think we might have been kidnapped? Why would they take someone who's in a coma?" Heath asked, clearly confused.
"You're awake now. Maybe it's something about this island?" Cody said.
"How did you guys even know we were colleagues? Or that I was in a coma for 1,5 years."
"Justin here remembered. We didn't, but after he mentioned it we recalled some events." Ezekiel answered.
"How are we going to get off this island if we don't know how we got here? Nah mean."
"That's why we need a plan, not to get off this island, but to survive, that's our number one priority. I don't really care about being on this island or not, I want to go back home, and earn money. I can't earn money when I'm death, and being fired wouldn't be a problem if we are indeed kidnapped." Wade said. "I suggest we work together. BUT, we will need a leader, I propose myself as the leader."
"Ooooh! Like some kind of superhero team!" Cody said excitedly.
Ted sighed and placed his hand in front of Cody's mouth, shutting him up.
"Not now Cody." He mumbled. He turned towards Wade and shrugged his shoulders. "I guess you'd do okay as leader."
"You were the leader of nexus.. I guess I don't mind, though you were an awful self proclaimed leader of the Corre, while we were equals." Heath mumbled.
"I don't mind. I just want to go home." Justin said looking down sadly.
"I guess you can be the leader since everyone already agreed to it." Ezekiel mumbled.
"Great." Wade said smiling. He took a small branch and started to write in the sand. "We'll pair up in teams of 2, team 1 will go and explore the island for dangers, team 2 will look for a safe hide out and team 3 will look for food like fish or meat and clean water. And here is something each and every one of us HAS to do. Seeing how Zeke and I found Cody and Ted earlier today, there might be more people on this island. If we want to find out what we're doing here, how we got here or anything, we'll need to survive. And since we don't remember much finding more people might help. Justin for example remembers much more than any of us. We just need to put all the little pieces together."
"What if we get lost?" Ted asked.
"We're going to have to act as a team, so obviously we would go looking for you." Wade said, throwing a few berries at Ted's head. "When the sun's about to go down we meet back here."
"But wont it be dark when we get back, what if I do get lost? In the dark. Alone. I don't want to get eaten by a wild tiger or bear. I'm way too good looking to get eaten by an animal!"
"We'll figure something out when and if someone gets lost." An aggravated Wade answered, this time throwing a banana at Ted's head.
"Ow! Stop that!" Ted whined.
"I'll stop when you stop asking stupid questions. Now, as for the teams, Team 1 will be Heath and Justin. Team 2 will be Ted and Cody and as for team 3 Zeke and I will go and find food. I don't know why but I know allot about fishes, seas and other ocean organisms. Actually I know alot about various of stuff."
Heath looked at Wade's note in the sand.
"Why do we have to look for dangers?" he mumbled. "What if there ARE wild animals.."
"I'm sure you two can handle yourselves." Wade said with confidence.
"If you say so.." Heath mumbled unsurely. He felt slightly more confident at Wade's confidence in him, very slightly.
"I still think we should head back here before the sun goes down." Ted mumbled.
"Right. We have no phones, and no watches. Can you read the time by looking at the sun? I didn't think so. I think I'm the only one here who does know how to. I could explain it to you. Let's see assuming we're still on the northern hemisphere-"
"No! That's okay!" Ted quickly said.
When everyone finished eating the three teams went their own ways. Heath and Justin went on exploration. Heath was still a little skeptic, thanks to Ted's doubtfulness, so they decided to go in a straight line so they wouldn't get lost. Heath was standing close to Justin. The two looked around observing their environment. Meanwhile Cody and Ted went looking for a cave. They both agreed it would be the best spot to use as a base camp. It would keep them from the rain and the wind. As for Wade and Ezekiel, Wade ordered Ezekiel to look for animal feces. Ezekiel laughed at first but ended up looking for poop while Wade was looking at plants to find dew and moisture within the roots of plants.
