The red Piraka, Hakann, opened his eyes, he was lying on sand. Above him was a green blur and blue sky. He sat up, the green blur turned into a palm
tree. There was a grey animal on its trunk beneath it was a wooden sign, it read "Inter-dimensional Koala Sanctuary." Hakaan stood up and looked
around, he was on a beach, behind him was a forest of palms each holding a grey animal, presumably a koala.
"I wonder how deep the water is," wondered Hakaan. To test it he picked up a coconut and threw it.
"Never mind it floats," he observed at loud. Then he heard the crunch of feet on sand behind him. As he turned around he noticed the blue armored
Piraka, Vezok, walking through the palm woods toward him. Plucking the koala from the tree Hakann wondered "If I throw it hard enough maybe I can
stun him and then kill him… never mind Rediak and Avak are coming." Hakann reluctantly abandoned his plans to kill Vezok as Rediak and Avak would see
him.
When they came within talking distance, which was quite a bit nearer then shouting distance, Hakann began "I see you also have been placed on this mysterious tropical paradise."
"Quit it!" Growled Vezok with his typical tempermant. Mean while Reidak happily threw a koala, that he had just liberated from a palm tree, into the ocean. The koala floated for a moment then it was promptly devoured by vicious looking mermaids. Everyone flinched at the ocean as a result of the koala's demise.
"Swimming anyone," quipped Avak with a huge grin, as they were made alert of hundreds no thousands of mermaids circling the beach.
"Look I saw a structure over there, we are all going to go check it out," growled Vezok.
The place where Thok was.
It must have been the tallest palm tree on the island, and provided the most shade. Furthermore a comfortable breeze swept through the island taking away the dead heat. Thok stretched himself out in the shade.
"Ah, I could stay here," said Thok lazily. The sound of foot steps raised him out of his nap. Sitting up he noticed four Piraka heading his way.
"What in the name of Karzahni do they want now," complained Thok throwing a palm leaf over his face.
"Get up you lazy bum," growled Vezok as he walked by. For good measure Reidak kicked Thok and scampered away chuckling. Thok reluctantly got up and dragged himself after them complaining bitterly for a minute. After climbing a large sand hill they saw a big stone square. Next to it was a big pile of boxes. On the boxes sat Zaktan. Avak waved to him but Zaktan characteristically ingnored him. As they came into talking distance Zaktan stood up.
"I've been expecting you," he almost hissed.
"What is in the boxes?" demanded Vezok. Zaktan tilted his head. At this signal Avak and Reidak started to hurriedly open one of the boxes. Avak pulled out an object which unknown to them was a AKM rifle.
"What is this," asked Avak manipulating the cocking handle. Of course the way the object fit into his shoulder, and how its sights lined up immediately told Avak it was a projectile weapon. Spotting a differently shaped box Avak opened it to find loaded magazines and loose ammunition. Picking up a magazine Avak noticed it fit perfectly into the rectangular hole underneath the weapon. Avak inserted the magazine and cycled it "ah those are the projectiles." Next he tried pulling the trigger… nothing.
"What did I do wrong," then he spotted the lever on the side marked with some symbols. He pushed the lever down it clicked. He pushed it down as far as it could go and was rewarded with another click. Taking aim at one of the koalas "Boom!" A koala was blasted of a tree. Avak was pleased to notice the weapon had loaded the next round. Swiching the lever to the middle position he took aim at another koala and. Spent shells flew into the air and the koala was turned to mush as the tree trunk snapped and broke.
Despite the fact that they were carrying their own weapons, all of them grabbed an AK and lots of ammunition. Avak grabbed two and more ammunition.
Soon after wards Zaktan led them up to the top of the stone square. There was a small console that lit up when they moved closer. Three options appeared on the screen of the console. "You can go to a utopia, loot a large weakened planet for which an army will be required, or go to a black hole. They discounted the first after all 'whose' utopia, and the third for obvious reasons. The second choice however intrigued them.
"What army," blurted out Hakann pointing out a hole in the option.
"I thought we were a six man army," joked Thok lazily.
"Either way we don't have an army let us examine the rest of the island," suggested Zaktan. So the six Piraka wandered off into the blistering sun. Actually it was only seventy degrees and the palms made it shady.
They walked up a large sand hill that allowed them to view the whole island. They could easily see a large flat area with a big grey four legged vehicle just standing there.
"Anyone their?" questioned Zaktan. Avak zoomed in with his telescope vision.
"I see seven beings, ones really shiny," observed Avak.
"Alright we spread out slight, and approach casually," ordered Vezok. Reidak started whistling until a glare from Vezok made him stop. The figures in the distance turned to face them.
