"So….What do we do?" Malone asked cautiously, "The last thing I want is to end up like that drained reptile."
Marguerite slowed her stride to a stop, "Can anyone hear that?"
Roxton smirked, "Don't tell me your hearing something?"
Veronica's eyes perked up, "I hear it to…. Sounds like a child crying!"
Challenger nodded, "I agree….But, lets proceed carefully…. Once false step, and we might end up like our friend."
Each step was taken with care….. Slowly, the group moved into the dying edge of the Jungle. Small trees withered, the ground drained to a pale gray color. The jungle was dying!
Challenger stood next to the long, metal ship. "Everyone…take a look at this!"
Malone knelt down next to the ship, "It's…about, 2 meters long, and about 1.5 meters across." He looked up at Challenger, "Its reminds me of a cigar carrying case!"
Challenger nodded, "Think about it…A perfect size for one passenger, aerodynamic enough to cut down on wind resistance, and slow down unwanted fuel consumption!"
Veronica chuckled, "You not actually thinking that there is a…Person in this hunk of scrap, do you?"
Marguerite looked around at the suffering jungle, "What's even more strange, is that all around us trees, animals, even the dirt is dying! But….look at us!"
Malone nodded, " Your right….Were not even harmed one bit."
Challenger reached out for the top of the ship, Roxton grabbed onto his hand, "Are you crazy!?"
Challenger glared at Roxton, "This could be the best scientific discovery in all of mankind!"
Roxton shook his head, "No…This could be the last discovery for mankind…I have a bad feeling about this…Leave it alone, Challenger."
The crying became louder……Marguerite shook her head, "I don't know…But something's in there!"
Roxton looked at Challenger, then back at the group. He sighed loudly, and let go of Challenger's hand. "If anything happens, I swear……"
Challenger patted his friends shoulder, "Nothing will happen! What could possibly go wrong?"
Challanger pulled down his hat, and took a step towards the top of the ship. He slowly reached out, his fingers gently glazing the top of the ship…..Nothing happened….. He put his full hand on the top of the ship, it felt slightly cool, and smooth beneath his touch. He pulled his hand away, the bottom part of his palm was covered with dust. He moved his hands back and forth, brushing off the surface of the ship. The group watched intently, ready to help their friend in any way.
His face lit up in a grin, "It has a window, or something!" He brushed more of the dust off, until he found a small multicolored panel. It had bright geometric shapes, in small smooth flowing patters. "I wonder…." As his fingers gently pressed on one of the shapes, Roxton's voice called to him, "Are you sure you should be touching that?" Challenger waved to him, and went back to his panel. He pressed one of the yellow geometric shapes, then one of the red shapes. He waited for a few seconds, then raised his finger to press another shape, when a quite humming sound begun. It slowly grew in volume and pitch, like growing electrical current.
Challenger stepped back from the ship, and turned to the group. The humming sound was now unbearable. Roxton shouted to him, holding his ears, "What in the bloody hell did you do!?"
Malone and Veronica held their ears, griming against the high pitched sound, Challenger yelled to them, "Run!"
The group turned, and started to flee. Challenger took a quick glance over his shoulder, before a blue light struck him dead center in the back.
Veronica came awake in a start….Her head throbed with pain, but her eyes focused. She was lying on the group, the rest of the group strew around, as if caught in a galestorm. "My lord…." She groaned, as she rose slowly to her feet. Her vision came to set on the ship. It was glowing…Hovering a few feet above the ground.
She glanced down at Challanger, "Challanger…Wake up!" she wispred loudly.
Challanger came awake with a start, his hands moving to the place in his back where he had been struck. "I'm not dead?"
Veronica shrugged her shudders, "Strange, eh?"
Challenger nodded, and roused the rest of the group, they came back into the land of the living, all with the headache that Veronica had. Challenger stood with Roxton, He rubbed his temples, "Now what?"
The ship begun to spin….slowly at first, then gaining speed. Light begun to stream from the spinning cylinder, trees buckled in the wind, and leaves blew around like shards of the earth itself.
Light stuck trees, vaporzing whole trunks at a time, the ship spun faster, gaining speed, a deafening whirling sound was wising over the sky. The ship begun to dissolve, bit by bit. Until it was nothing more than spinning particles in the chaotic maelstrom of light, and energy.
The light, and energy compacted…..Until it seemed like it was going to fall out of the sky…..The group buckled, as the light…..Exploded. Huge shockwaves burned deep trenches into the earth, sending large dark dust clouds skyward. Dinosaurs, trees, even mountains were absorbed into the raging energy, vaporized on the spot.
The cloud of energy dissipated into the atmosphere….And when the dust had finally settled…..A Lone figure stood in the aftermath of the destruction. He lifted his head, and smiled at the Explorers.
