By the time they reached the navigation room the time till they reached their planet shrank massively. They had to only wait another half an hour. They had passed all the known planets to those from Earth and were going far beyond what human's saw as their universe. The boys entered the room and were taken to the chairs they had been sat in when they had come into the ship.
They glanced around the room remembering how in awe they were when they first entered the ship. Now they knew what they were and where they were going. This place no longer awed them, but they were sure that where they were going would.
Tala glanced at his brother, offering the slightly younger of the two a small reassuring smile. Kai had always been the more nervous of the two and Tala had only himself to blame. When the two had been younger they hadn't been as close as they are now, when they were five they had been the exact opposite. They would get themselves out of a beating for something they had done by blaming the other.
Tala had done something bad when he was five, something he didn't even see as bad, something that he couldn't even remember. And he had blamed Kai for it. Kai had been taken for that night and he hadn't seen him for the entire night or next day. When the bluenette had come back the second day and he had changed. Before he had been strong and confident, despite the abuse he had been strong. Now though, when he came back, he was scared and unsure. He had been broken, and it was taking Tala years to try to get back the brother he knew.
But that mistake Tala had made had made the two closer than ever. Now they were as close as one expects twins to be. They both looked out for the other one hundred per cent.
"Guys, we're getting closer, do you want to see the planet as we near it?" The purple haired boy asked as he stood by a window that hadn't been there a moment ago. Not questioning where the window had come from the two stood rushing over to the purple haired boy, not knowing what to expect. What they saw took their breath away. Both had expected a planet that resembled Earth, what they saw was completely different.
The planet was far larger and was pure white, it appeared to have patterns running over the surface, the patterns were in a pinkish red and looked like what would appear on a circuit board or a stereotypical crop circle. They stared at the planet trying to keep the awe struck looks from their faces. The planet was amazing, it felt like home, and they weren't even there yet.
"Ok you two, you need to sit back down, we're going to be entering the planet's atmosphere and the reaction that will have on us will be far worse if we stay standing." The boy told them ushering them to their seats. Nodding to the boy they followed their instructions.
Seating themselves on the chairs they gripped the arms of the chairs in a somewhat fearful way. They glanced at the other as the small boy perched himself on his own seat.
"The atmosphere is stronger than on Earth, I'd hold on tight if I were you" the boy advised as he leaned back in his chair, staring at a map that was before him. "The entrance may be a bit worse than usual because the time we came back is different to what I expected. We'll have to enter the atmosphere at an odd angle so we can travel the short distance of about five miles and arrive at camp."
"Camp?" Kai asked but before he could ask the ship shook violently causing the two to be jolted around, their heads snapping as they were thrown in their chairs. Releasing a hand from the chair he grabbed at his neck trying to still it as much as he could. His blue hair was whipping on his eye lids making him flinch.
"I said hold on!" Ian shouted back to him as he seemed to be trying to control the ship.
"That is a lot easier said than done!" Kai shouted back his voice vibrating in time with the ship making him sound almost like he was speaking through a fan. Any reply the small boy had was cut off as the ship jerked them about once more throwing everyone from their seats.
The twins landed in a heap on the floor the two barely noticing the lack of movement from the ship. The two untangled themselves from their heap and managed to seat themselves on the floor rubbing at their heads.
"Well, that was easier than I expected" Ian mumbled to himself as he released a breath of air.
"That was easier?!" Tala shouted at the boy as he pushed himself to his feet.
"Yeah, that isn't a good sign, things must be deteriorating rapidly here"
"What do you mean?" The bluenette asked.
"The planet is in a delicate state, it depends on the inhabitants to keep it stable. The war that is going on is throwing the balance in chaos, should it keep going on the planet will die. Along with all residents. That includes you both too." He answered in a monotone voice.
"W-what? How?"
"Because we're all connected to the planet, no matter how far away we are. You two could have been in the middle of a lesson when the planet died and the two of you would have just collapsed and died right then and there." The twins gulped and rubbed at their throats feeling anxious.
Before they could ask the ship started to land the sound coming from the ship deafening the two as they hadn't blocked their ears. Unlike the purple haired boy. He seemed to be prepared for the sound and had his ears covered. The twins glared at the boy as the sound died out and they could move safely.
"Ian, mind telling us why we're at a camp?" Kai asked getting back to a question he hadn't been able to ask.
"Well, if you're going to fight in a war, you'll need to stay in the rebel camp. That's ours"
"Yeah, I think we gathered that." Tala deadpanned as he straightened out his shirt. Pulling at the chain around his neck to check the chip wasn't damaged. Thankfully it wasn't and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't get smart, I was just making sure. Anyway, the others are probably out fighting. I'll introduce you to the people I know aren't out fighting. They're in my team. My team were ordered to stay back while I came back with you two. Oh yeah, and when we get in there can you not tell Bryan I told you about your mum dying. You weren't supposed to find out just yet." They just nodded at the man and watched as he opened the door to the outside.
As the door opened they were momentarily blinded by the sun. Shielding their eyes they squinted and looked through their fingers. What they saw reminded them of what one would see in a war film.
There were a small circle of tents a few feet away, the red material of the tent holding numbers on them. Wooden poles held the fabric doors open and beds were able to be seen through them. The beds were basic but still better than any they'd ever had. They looked almost like army beds that were covered with simple white sheets.
"So, what do you think? This is where you're going to be sleeping for now before we move on."
"It's a bit bare" Kai mumbled, seeing nobody walking around.
"I'm not surprised, I should hope they're out fighting. But about ten people should still be here." He placed a finger to his chin thinking about where they could be. "Knowing that pig, they're probably still eating" he muttered as he left the ship. "Come on, I'll show you around and take you to the team"
oooo
They followed the boy around the small camp. Watching as he pointed out different people's rooms. They had been told countless names that went with the tents but they had no faces to but the names to. They hadn't seen a single person since they landed.
"Uh, Ian, where is everyone?" Tala finally asked looking down at the small boy.
"I'll take you to them once we've gone around the camp." The boy answered, not really answering the question. Glaring at the back of the boy's head Tala turned his head away and looked over at Kai rolling his eyes. The bluenette laughed softly.
Ian turned a corner at the end of a row of matching tents. How the boy could find his way around was a mystery to the others. They kept their wonder to themselves and watched as the boy walked towards a larger tent. A large portion came from the tent, a mixture of laughing and shouting.
"I guess, I could always tell one of the lads to show you around. I suppose you should meet the people you're going to be living and fighting with." Ian led them towards the tent and as they neared they could see people staring out. There weren't many people inside, making the amount of noise all the more impressive. "Don't look like that boys. It's not like they're anything dangerous. Just boisterous besides, you're going to be working with them. It'd be best if you didn't look scared of them"
The two hadn't realised they had let that expression slip onto their faces and immediately hardened their appearance. The small boy just laughed and led them inside the tent.
"Everyone! I brought back the twins!" He shouted out and the room silenced.
oooo
They sat in silence on a table in the back of the room. Everyone had crowded around them immediately and they were more than a little daunted. Staring at the people they were trying to take in all the names they had been given.
There was a boy with lilac hair and a slightly sadistic smile called Bryan. A boy with navy hair and a hat glued firmly to his head called Tyson. A tall blond who looked as though he spent most of the day in the gym called Spencer. A much smaller boy with blond hair and a permanent smile called Max. A boy who had cat like features and hair that ran down to his knees called Ray. A small boy who looked like he couldn't fight to save his life called Kenny. A laptop held firmly to his chest they were told was called Dizzi. A girl with pink hair and everything else pink called Mariah. A boy who looked to be wearing only half a shirt called Lee. A boy who was almost the size of Spencer but looked to be holding quite a bit of fat called Gary. A small boy with green hair called Kevin.
There was also a tall boy with a basketball in his hands called Eddy. Someone with an American football in his hands called Steve. Another boy with a baseball glove on called Michael. And finally another girl called Emily who held a tennis racket in her hand.
They had kept their eye on the last group.
"Uh, Ian, why do they have things from Earth?" Kai had asked staring at them.
"Oh, they had a mission on Earth a while back. They came back with them. No idea how they got them but they won't put them back."
"Alright" he accepted and watched as everyone sat themselves around them.
"So, Ian, you going to tell us what happened on Earth?" Michael asked receiving a nod from the boy.
"Yes, of course. Everyone, stay quiet and I'll tell." The room quietened once more and the boy began to recite what he had done on Earth.
