News has reached the village about the strangers coming to their land. During a village meeting different aliens were gossiping about them untill Rook Da held up his hand to silence them. "My brothers, we must know more about these visitors. Galilean, what do you see?" Galilean stood up and walked to the fire pit in front of him and threw something inside. A large cloud of smoke creating images filled the air.
"These are not men like us, but strange beasts with bodies that shine like the sun and weapons that spout fire and prowl the earth like ravenous Panuncian consuming everything in their path." Scout growled. "Great Rook Da. I will lead our warriors to the river and attack. We will destroy these invaders the way we destroyed out last enemy."
Rook Da shook his head. "Scout, in that battle we knew how to fight our enemy, but these pale visitors are strange to us. Take some men to the river to observe them. Let us hope they do not intend to stay."
The crew stood around Harague as he planted a flag in the ground. "I hereby claim this land and all its riches in the name of his majesty Kin Max the first, and do so name this settlement Maxtown." Everyone cheered. Back on the ship Zed was sitting in a tub taking a bubble bath, and enjoying the bowl of treats she was eating. Ship was currently climbing a near by tree when he spotted the bowl of treats in the window.
He looked around to see what he can grab onto and saw a canon. Ship grabbed onto it, swung himself through the window, and landed in the tub with Zed. She stared at him in shock as he stuffed all the treats in his mouth, and took off. Zed growled and chased after him. Ship managed to grab onto a rope and swing to a near by brach to make his getaway, while Zed tripped and landed in a mud puddle. She growled as she watched her new enemy run off.
Harague wanted up to Ben who was scanning the land. "Captain Tennyson! It appears I've selected the perfect location, eh? Not a savage in sight." Ben held his rifle in his hands as he spoke. "Just because we don't see them doesn't mean they're not out there sir." 'well then, perhaps you should venture forth and determine their whereabouts, hmm?" Ben started to walk into the woods, un away that he was being watched and followed by Rook Blonko.
"If there are any aliens out there I'll find them." Harague nodded and turned to the crew. "Now, gentlemen, to work. You men, get the ship unloaded." "Yes sir." "You men, build the fort. The rest of you... Break out the shovels! It's time to start digging." Kevin and Cooper looked at each other "Digging?" Harague pulled out a map and unfolded it on top of a crate.
"Why, of course! Let's not forget what the Spanish found when they came to the New World. Gold, Mountains of it. Why, for years they've been ravaging the New World of its most precious resources but now..." Harague pulled out his sword to show off it's gold and jewel incrusted handle. "It's out turn."
The gold of Cort z The jewels of Pizarro Will seem like mere trinkets By this time tomorrow The gold we find here Will dwarf them by far Oh, with all ya got in ya, boys Dig up Virginia, boys.
Harague put his sword away and pulled out a bunch of shovels. He started handing them to all the men.
Mine, boys, mine, every mountain And dig, boys, dig til ya drop Grab a pick, boys Quick, boys Shove in a shovel Uncover those lovely Pebbles that sparkle and shine It s gold And it s mine, mine, mine!

Deeper in the woods Ben looked around with excitement as he spotted a large water fall, unknown to him that he was being followed by a curious alien.
All of my life I have searched for land like this one A wilder more challenging country I couldn t design Hundreds of dangers await and I don t plan to miss one In a land I can claim, a land I can tame The greatest adventure is mine.
Keep on working,lads
Mine
Don t be shirking, lads Mine, boys, mine Mine me that gold
Dig, dig, and diggety
Beautiful gold
Dig, dig, for that gold Make this island My land
Make the mounds big, boys I d help you to dig, boys But I ve got this crick in me spine
This land we behold
This beauty untold
A man can be bold
It all can be sold
So go for the gold We know which is here
Is
All the riches is here
Mine
This land and what's in it is
Mine
Dig and dig and diggety-dig Hey nonny nonny, it s mine
Ben climbed down the rock hill side to the fresh water below. He removed the helmet on his head and cupped the cold water in his hands. When he splashed it in his face he got another hand full of water. But before he threw it on his face he saw a reflection of something behind him. He quickly splashed the water in his face and slowly looked behind him, seeing nothing but rocks and trees, Ben grabbed his helmet and put it back on his head.
Staying hidden Rook Blonko sneaked down the Rocky hill side and ducked into the tall grass to get a better look. When he slowly pushed the grass back, only to see the stranger has disappeared. Ship and Nanomech popped up next to him, only for Rook Blonko to shove them back down and carefully go out onto the open. He slowly walked up to the water and stepped onto the large rocks sticking out of the water.
From behind the waterfall, Ben held his rifle in his hands, waiting for the right moment, he jumped out and pointed his gun, ready to shoot. But when the alien stood up, Ben lowered his gun and looked at him in awe. He was a tall, handsome alien with blue/purple, and white fur with black stripes on his arms and face, he also had burning orange eyes.
Ben slowly put his gun down on the rock he was standing on, and climbed into the water to get a closer look at him. While Ben carefully walked up to him he removed his helmet, trying to think of something to say. Rook Blonko suddenly took off and ran into the woods. "No, wait! Please..." Rook Blonko quickly zigzagged through the tree's with Ship and Nanomech right behind him.
When he finally reached his canoe he jumped in with his little friends and was about to paddle away. "Please!" Rook Blonko gasped and turned around to see Ben slow down and put his gun down by the tree. "Don't run off. It's all right. I'm not gonna hurt you." Ben held out his hand to Rook Blonko. "Here, let me help you out of there." Rook Blonko looked at him cautiously and said something in his native tongue.
Ben sighed. "You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?" Rook Blonko looked down at Ben's hand and back up at him. Ben gently smiled. "It's all right." Hesitating, he placed his hand in Ben's smooth one. Ben helped pull Rook Blonko back on land as they both stared into each others eyes. Nanomech, who was not happy about this, was about to fly at the two before Ship grabbed onto him, holding him back.
Ben looked at the alien curiously. "Who are you?" Rook Blonko paused for a few moments. "...Rook Blonko." "What? What did you say?" "My name, is Rook Blonko." Nanomech and Ship looked at each other in shock. Ben gestured to himself. "I'm Ben Tennyson."
