Chapter Nine - The Plane Crash
It had been a full day and Dennis still hadn't come. Dodgson was beginning to lose his patience. A voice came over his walkie-talkie, "Dodgson. Hey Dodgson pick up, it's Cooper. Pick up." Dodgson turned on the radio, "I'm here! What?!" "Chill out man, I thought you might want to know that" Coopers voice fell, "We found Dennis."
* * *
"That was sickening." Udesky exclaimed, "Did we really have to land to see what-"
"Oh shut up." Nash snapped. It was true though. They had seen the head lights of Dennis's car, and had landed to see what the hell was taking him so long. Whatever the hell it was, had eaten almost all of him, except for the intestines that were scattered around the remains. Nash had cooly walked up to the body, reached into Dennis's chest pocket, and pulled out the item carrying the serums.
Now they were back on the plane, just hovering around. Cooper pointed out the window into a grassy field where five figures walked slowly.
* * *
Izzy, Mimi, Kari, Tk, and Joe were walking through the same field they had come to earlier. It was deserted now, unlike when they were running for their lives through a herd of huge animals. Izzy stopped dead and looked up. "What's the matter Izzy?" Joe asked.
Izzy pointed up at a jet just disappearing over the forest ahead of them. "It's landing." he said. They all broke out into a light run, toward the area where the jet hand vanished. They came to the end of the clearing, and began to make their way though the dense jungle. It seemed to be half an hour before they came to another clearing. This clearing was different somehow. Instead of it being covered by foot long grass, there were only small patches of grass here and there. The clearing was also not just a big field, it was more rectangular like a . . . "This is a landing strip." Izzy said.
The plane was already landed and there was a man running up to them waving his arms and shouting. It was an African-American man who seemed to be well built. "Hello. I'm Nash. We're with Gennai" he shook Izzys' hand with a rather tight grip. "When he found out that you got separated, he sent us." Tiredly, the five of them made their way to the jet. Kari looked around, "What did you mean when you said 'us'? Where are the others?"
"Out making a perimeter. There are two others with me. Cooper is the tall one, and Udesky is the short one. I'm the only black guy." He smirked at this.
When they all got to the jet ladder, there was an unearthly roar. "What was that?" Tk asked. There was no time for anyone to answer, because at that instant the man Nash identified as Udesky came running out of the forest announcing, "We have to leave. We have to leave now." Nash ran onto the jet to get it started as Udesky loaded Mimi, Kari, Izzy, Tk, and Joe onto the jet. "What about Cooper?!" Tk asked.
"Cooper's a professional, he can handle himself." Udesky said this as gun shots were heard in the distance.
When everybody was on board, Udesky closed the door and made his way up to the pilots seat. Nash had already started the engine, and was turning the jet around. Kari was more worried than ever, "What about the others?" Udesky answered her on the way to his seat, "We're only going to circle around."
The propellers were at full speed and the plain was making its way down the runway. It was at full speed when a figure in black ran out at the end of the runway. The man was far ahead of them, but he could still get hit. He was waving his arms frantically for them to stop. "That's. . ." Izzy noticed, "That's Cooper!"
Nash was yelling, "He know I can't stop this plane!" His yells went to a pleading whisper, "Come on get out of the way. I can't stop this plane." Then, out of nowhere, a gigantic, reddish gray beast burst out of the forest and picked Cooper up with one swipe of its jaw. "Jesus Christ!" Nash screamed, and pulled up, barely missing the back of the beast. Unfortunately, he had pulled up to early, and they headed strait for the trees. Izzy looked at the window which was streaked with blood. The jet dove through the trees. The back fin of the plane hit a thick branch and was torn off the jet. The wings hit two parallel tree trunks, and both were also ripped of the plane. The stopped with a jolt in a tree, and it gave the appearance of a white, banged up hot dog.
Everyone looked around and Udesky was the first to speak, "Is everyone all right?" Everyone answered and all were fine.
Izzy and the other digidestined went to the back of the plane to try the door. Izzy opened it, looked down, and closed the door again, "We haven't landed yet."
Udesky and Nash were still up front. Nash looked back, "Who has a cell phone?"
"I do." Kari answered as she reached into her front pocket of her backpack. She walked up to Nash and handed her phone to him. He began to dial. "Who are you calling?" she asked.
"Someone else who's on this land with us." The phone didn't work, "Ah man!" Nash put the phone up to Udesky's ear to listen to the dead tone. Movement from the pilots front window, caught Mimi's attention and her head shot up to look. She began to scream and tried to turn Izzy around to look. right when he, as well as Udesky and Nash, turned to look, it had disappeared.
Izzy turned to her, "What's wrong Mimi?" She had no time to answer before the plane began to rock. She grabbed on to Izzy for support. "Hang on everyone!" Nash yelled as he put Kari's cell phone in his chest pocket. Then Udesky and Nash began to yell in fright. Abruptly, the pilot area, or the nose of the jet, was ripped off the plane. Everybody screamed, one for the fact that they couldn't see what or who did it, and second, just of what happened. Nash and Udesky quickly made there way back to the others. Then a huge, alligator-like snout burst into the jet and grabbed Nash by the leg. He started to scream in pain as he was pulled out of the jet. Nash continued to scream as he was dropped onto the wet ground. He tried to crawl anywhere to get away from whatever it was. The ground shook as it came closer, and then pined him down with one giant foot. Nash's screams stopped as the huge head came down on his, and began to eat him.
They all became very nervous looking out at the trees, and wanted to get out. Just a few seconds after everything went quiet the plane began to tip over the branches front wards. Kari slipped and began to fall out the hole that use to be the nose. She screamed before Tk grabbed her hand and pulled her back. The huge head came back up, and roared with a bloody mouth. Scared, everybody moved to the back of the jet. Bad idea. The weight was uneven, making the jet fall off the tree as everyone screamed. The jet landed on its tail, stood the for a while and then toppled over onto its side.
They heard the terrible roar again. It was long, loud, and big.
It was the fact of the roar it's self that caused everybody to not notice the fact of how close the roar was. Suddenly there was a clank like a very large branch had landed on the plane. No one dared say anything. The rest of them were frozen in fear and you could only hear the breathing, the breathing. . .
Everybody realized it simultaneously. Something was breathing on the jet. Some of them could feel the breezes of hot air come and go. Izzy gained the courage to look out one of the broken windows that faces the sky. He felt his heart stop when he saw what was breathing on the jet. What he saw wasn't the sky, or was it the tops of the trees. He saw gray and red, scaly skin. He only saw the head of the thing that owned the skin. It was kind of like a crocodile head, with a long snout. The only difference was that this seemed to have a larger head(vertically). It was so close to the jet, yet motionless. As though it was waiting for something. Then it happened. The head lifted up and the next thing he knew, the plane was being rolled over and over. The screaming increased. Whatever it was that was rolling them over though it was a toy, but it was really trying to get them out. It stopped. I second later the top was being flattened on top of them. Everyone got as flat on the bottom as they could, as they screamed continuously. The windows shattered and gave small cuts on their faces. It was like the plane was rubber to what ever was crushing it. Suddenly it stop, and there was complete silence. Then the large, gray snout punched a large hole in the side. The Mimi and Izzy were trapped at the end of the jet, while the rest of them were at the opened part, they weren't going to leave them behind though. The snout eagerly tried to catch one of them. The animal must had to have been huge and strong to do that.
At one point, the snout was lifted, and without thinking, Mimi dashed across the plane, on her hands and knees, to the others. She was almost caught, but Joe and Tk grabbed her and pulled her out of the way. Then Izzy scrambled over. When the snout came out the second time, they all ran out of the jet as fast as they could into the woods. They could hear the animal roar in anger and begin crashing through the brush. They continued to run and came to an open field. They almost made to the end of the meadow when the beast crashed threw the foliage, and they could see what it was. It was about forty feet tall, with a long snout, and a big sail on it's back. It could have ran on all fours but, it ran on its hind legs. They ran to another forest, but this one was more compact and when the animal tried to get threw the trees, it couldn't fit threw and roared in anger.
They ran until they got deep into the forest. It was much like a rain forest, humid and damp. They all stopped and supported themselves on either a tree root or their knees. Only Udesky was with them now, and they had no means of protection.
It had been a full day and Dennis still hadn't come. Dodgson was beginning to lose his patience. A voice came over his walkie-talkie, "Dodgson. Hey Dodgson pick up, it's Cooper. Pick up." Dodgson turned on the radio, "I'm here! What?!" "Chill out man, I thought you might want to know that" Coopers voice fell, "We found Dennis."
