Chapter 10: The Floating Island

"What...is...THAT!" I yelled in fear. An Enormous pink… thing was just attached to the bottom of the island. "Let me go outside and scan it." Casey said. I have faith in her, to go outside at night, and poke a new creature. She can be put in a fight with a sand shark, with just a stalker tooth, and win. When she came back up, she had a look of relief. "It's not harmful at all. It's called a floater. Floaters aren't usually this big, it's an outstanding specimen." She waved for me to follow. "If this is an island, let's go explore!" We both went out of the hatch, she pointed toward the hatch, and i knew exactly what that meant. "P.R.A.W.N TIME!" I shouted running upstairs to the hatch that dropped me in the suit. I turned it on, and the cyclops dropped it into the ocean. I used the jets on the suit to float above the water line, and onto the small part of the island that was accessible. Casey waved her hand, wanting me to exit the suit. I did so and greeted her on the ground. "We will need this as a strong light source. Also GOD knows whats on this island, so we can just be careful bringing this along." She turned around and said, "What are you waiting for?" I climbed back into the suit and led the way. "Hey logan you there?" she said through the suits A.I. I "Bet you didn't expect this, i built a radio inside the suit so you could talk to me." I looked outside, through the suits large window, and she waved. I gave a small wave back. She pointed to the right. I led the way right. I poked my head through the hatch and said "You might want to sit on top of the suit, just so you don't fall off on this steep part." She did so, climbing up the drill arm, since it was the one closest to her reach. In seconds she was sitting on the hatch. She banged on the hatch for me to go. I started moving the suit slowly through the steep part of the path. When we got to level ground she hopped off and motioned for me to hop out. I did so and walked beside her. "The overgrowth is too thick for the suit to get through. It would be smart to go on foot from here." We walked along a path for a short while until I bumped into a glowing plant. "Hey casey, do you think this is edible?" I said, hoping she would say yes. She scanned it, and then said "Yeah, we should take some back to home base and start a garden." I took one off and ate it. It was sweet and juicy. But the aftertaste was sour and bitter. We continued on our trip, but we found something amazing. It was a seabase, on land? "Hello, is anyone there?" Casey said. Nobody answered. She flashed a light at it, and the seabase got caught in a mudslide, the roof was coated in mud, and there was land inside the base, like it broke through a window or building was rusty, and falling apart. To the right of it there was a hallway that was completely collapsed, and lying on the ground. We saw something glowing purple inside. We walked over to it, and picked it up. It was cold like metal, and it had a alien letter on it, that glowed a bright and vibrant purple. "Whaddya think this can be used for?" I said to Casey. She just shrugged, and the sunlight greeted us in a beautiful sunrise from the east. We were able to see the shape of everything without a flashlight, that's when we realized how severe the damage actually was. Something blue glowed inside, but blue this time. "We should go and check that out." Casey said "Hoist me up into that broken part of the base. I walked over there wither and hoisted her onto my shoulders. She got off, and climbed up into the hallway overhanging the seabase. She came back down with a PDA in her hands. WHen she jumped down, I heard a rip of clothing, and she hit the ground back first. "Logan! I need some help here." She said in pain. I ran over to help her, and she was holding her leg. She had ripped her skin wide open, and it was spewing out blood. Her hand was coated in it, and her usually tan skin was turning pale. "In the cyclops there's a medical kit fabricator, go there, and bring back a med kit. I can do the rest" She said "And HURRY" I left without question. I ran and I ran, until i got to my P.R.A.W.N suit, and walked carefully around it. I followed the path until i got to the little outcrop of land leading to the submerged cyclops. I dove right in, and swam as fast as i could. Casey is depending on me. I reached the hatch in no time soon, and opened it and charged for the ladder. "Sir, i sense you are troubled, is there anyway i can assist captain?" The cyclops' A.I. said to me. "Not now, but do you know where a medical kit fabricator is anywhere" I asked. "One moment please" He said, and a robotic arm gave me a medical kit. Man this thing is cool. I ran Back downstairs and jumped down where there was no ladder, i nailed the landing and ran toward the hatch. I dove outside, and swam back to the surface. I got on top the small outcrop, almost lost my footing, but i kept running. Four legged crab tings jumped at me a couple of times but they couldn't hit me. I scooted past my P.R.A.W.N suit again, and ran the rest of the way back. She had fainted from blood loss by now. There was still blood pouring from her cut. I cleaned the wound with a bandage, and i used hydrogen peroxide on the cut so it won't get infected. I got a new bandage roll, and wrapped it tightly around her leg so it would stop the bleeding. "Please don't be dead, please don't be dead." I would repeat to myself picking her up, and walking her back to the cyclops. Who knows if she is going to make it. I hope she does.
