Chapter 1: Crash Landing

Inside of the fallen plane was havoc, bags lay tossed about, but most of the riders seemed safe. Mac raised his head, automatically checking to see if Kaori was okay.

"Baby?...Kaori?..." he unbuckled his seat belt and touched her face. Kaori winced and opened her eyes slowly.

"...Mac?" she blinked, trying to shake off the pain in her arms. The other riders began to wake up, Moby shook Elise awake, who had apparently fainted. Nate stood up and walked towards the cockpit to check on Viggo and Pete. Nate approached the door, and tried to open it, it got jammed in the crash apparently, because it wouldn't budge.

"Damn, the door is jammed..." Nate sighed to himself before taking a step back and slamming his foot into the door, knocking it to the side.

Nate took a look in the cockpit...and sunk his head..he turned around and looked to Allegra. Allegra knew what happened..she looked at Nate in sheer horror before she ran out of her seat and pushed Nate aside. Nate didn't do anything to stop her, it was better if she saw. She looked inside, tears welling in her eyes as she saw Viggo slumped over the plane controls, blood leaking down from his face.

"..Viggo..." she rested her hand on his shoulder, his face smashed in, she didn't dare lift his head for a look..instead she looked over at Pete, who was laying face down, not breathing or moving...

She could no longer take the pain of staying, so she walked out of the cockpit.

"Viggo is dead, guys.." she sighed, looking up to see all of the riders except for Psymon crowded around Atomika. Psymon frowned and mumbled, "Poor kid." He looked back into the door to survey the area. "And Pete?"

"Dead" Allegra sighed again, going to see what the commotion was. Zoe was lifting Atomika up from the ground, Atomika was holding his leg and was bleeding very badly.

"Arrgh..." Atomika grunted as Zoe set him down on the seat "Damn ski pole went into my leg.."

Nate took off his hat and looked outside of the window.

"We seem to be fine..but we gotta radio for help or somethin.." Nate said, Mac headed towards the cockpit. Allegra stood in his way.

"..Don't bother Mac...the radio dosent work.." she said, she actually didn't know if it really worked or not, she just didn't want anyone to disturb Viggo's final resting place. Mac decided now wasn't the time to argue this point.

"My M-comm isn't getting any service" Elise moaned, Zoe and Moby tried theirs, also no service.

"Well, we are away from..arrgh the nearest station...I doubt service reaches out this far.." Atomika groaned.

"Well what are we gonna do?" Griff whined, knowing the answer was obvious. Psymon shook his head as he opened the door of the plane.

"Looks like we gotta walk for it, kid. There ain't no food on this flight, and we don't even have our boards with us."

Nate nodded in agreement.

"I know for a fact that thea's a lodge around hea somewhere, I saw it when we passed overhead" Moby added, taking a look outside. Nate stepped outside, he hated it when he was right..he knew something was going to go wrong..and something did. They were all stranded on top of one hell of a mountain, no food, no water, and no way of getting help. They had lost two friends, and another was injured.

"Well, we ain't gonna do much good standin' around here." Nate yelled.

"Everyone, get what you can carry and come on, we should be able to make that lodge by nightfall"

Mac jumped up.

"Who the hell died and made you leader?" Mac grunted.

"Apparently Pete did, Now, would you rather trust you all to find the way back, or someone who has lived in the mountains all his life?" Nate waited for the question to marinate in their minds.

"Well, I for one would follow someone who is more familiar with the area.." Elise stammered, walking out of the plane. Everyone seems to nod in agreement, even Psymon.

"This dosent mean I like you, Redneck." Psymon hissed at Nate as he walked by.

They had all walked maybe a couple of miles before hunger set in, Griff's constant whining was a burden on everyone's mood, even Nate was beginning to get frustrated.

"Look, We don't have shit to eat, so stop bitching." Psymon spat at Griff, Psymon looked up a dark hut like shadow ahead.

"Yo? Is that the lodge?" Mac asked, looking around for a reply.

"...OI! Thats...not the lodge..." Moby said, with a hint of failure.

The hut came into more focus, and everyones mood dropped even lower.

Atomika stammered.

"Thats Radio Big..but..." they noticed that even though they could see Radio Big, it was high up above them...no accessible by land. "...we cant get to it, the only way is by plane.."

"Just fuckin peachy" Zoe mumbled. Allegra tried using her M-comm again, maybe now that they were away from the plane, they would get some service...wrong.

Another hour passed, Elise joined in on Griff's excessive whining. Nate had led the riders through the woods of the back country, in hopes of coming up near the lodge, their prayers were soon answered. Kaori jumped with glee as Mid Station came into focus.

"'BOUT DAMN TIME!" Zoe yelled, bushing limbs aside to get closer. Before any of them could move, something happened which even made Psymon jump.

All of their M-Comm's beeped..

"...Wait..does this mean service is back?" Allegra picked up hers, as well as everyone else..

The voice on the other side was full of static, they could barely make out what was being said. The voice seemed to be very angry...but none of them could make out who..or what it was saying. Atomika limped over and used the tree to support himself.

"Its probably just radio feedback...ignore it guys..lets get in that lodge before it gets dark..." He began to limp again, the snow where he was standing now a deep red. Nate stopped him before he could go too far.

"That isn't the lodge, its nothing but Mid Station, nothing much is in there...maybe some food though." He looked back "...and we all need it..". Nate didn't even have to tell them to head into the Station, they all seemed to follow Psymon as he trudged into the door, looking around for any signs of anything edible.

Nate walked in after them, and looked to Mac who had his mouth full of something.

"Well?" Nate looked at Mac.

"Marfmallosh" Mac grinned, his cheeks completely puffed out. "Lofs and Lofs of Marfmallosh" he nodded to the near 40 bags of marshmallows. The other riders had helped themselves also, even Elise's cheeks were puffed. Nate frowned, he knew if they were infact stranded, that marshmallows weren't going to keep them alive for long. As the time passed, everyone soon knew that they couldn't stay here for long, but they were all to settled to move. Kaori had fallen asleep on the floor, and the rest of the riders had fallen asleep on the couches and cushions, Mid Station wasn't exactly a large place, about the size of seven jail cells. Nate was the only one still awake, he couldn't sleep..he knew someone was going to go wrong earlier...and it did, Viggo and Pete had both died in less than a couple of seconds, and he feared this wasn't going to be the last time some died before they got home.

Early the next morning they all decided to move out again, their M-comms blared with he staticy noise that they had been ignoring every time it went off. Mid Station was long gone by the time they began to get hungry again, they frequently stopped due to Atomika's leg..Nate knew that it was infected, but the others refused to belive it. The M-comm static grew even louder as night began to fall again, they were too far away from the Mid Station to go back, and nowhere near the Black Station..the static became clearer. Mac finally got fed up.

"Thats it, im answering this damn call." Mac yelled, grabbing his M-comm and picking it up.

"Hello!?"

Everyone else turned to Mac.

"...I cant understand a damn word, yo." Mac turned his M-comm to speaker mode, letting everyone hear.

".......You.......gra......better........check........live" the M-comm gurgled.

"Yougra better check live?" Griff said, thinking it was some odd alien language.

Zoe hushed Griff as the message began to come in clearer.

"...Next time, ..gra you better check to....live.." the voice came in clearer, then it disconnected. Everyone looked around, Moby decided to break the silence.

"Maybe it someone checking to see if wea still alive?" Moby mumbled, everyone else didn't bother to respond, they were all looking at their own M-comms, at the caller ID.

"Wot? Is thea something I missed?" He looked down at his own M-comm, his eyes bulged out with surprise...the call came from Viggo.

Allegra began to cry, was it out of happiness or sadness? They couldn't tell. Zoe hugged her softly.

"We left...Viggo...alone.." Allegra murmured between sobs. Psymon spat at her.

"Sweedy is dead, D-E-D. Dead. That call could of came from someone using his M-comm." Allegra looked as if she wanted to break Psymon's neck. Elise shook her head.

"Psymon, we cant tell, look..the call is marked at four o'clock...yesterday. It could of very well been Viggo." she said.

"Dosent mean shit" Psymon retorted "Even if it was the little fruitcup, he is long dead by now. And don't you even THINK of having us go back to try and get him."

"Last time I checked, Stark. Nate here was leading us." Elise countered, stepping closer to Psymon.

"Listen, slut. I don't give a hot sweaty fuck what your little cowboy over here thinks. We ain't going back to find a corpse." Psymon muttered through gritted teeth, and looked over at Allegra.

Nate sighed deeply.

"He's right.." he mumbled. Allegra shot a glare of fire at Nate, Nate not wanting to meet her eyes.

"Even if Viggo was still alive..that call came from yesterday..theres no food on the plane..no water..and he was all alone...and on top of that, he had a massive head wound even if he did survive. Its too much of a risk to go back" Nate spoke calmly, not wanting to upset Allegra more than she was already.

Griff perked up for a second.

"What about Pete?" he said.

"What about Pete?" Zoe said, "He was died in the crash along with Viggo, right Allegra?"

Allegra didn't say anything..she never really did check to see if Pete died...

"Yeah...yeah...he was dead..." she stammered.

"Then its settled, we ain't going back for Viggo, now lets get a move on." Mac interrupted, Kaori wiping tears from her eyes at the definite loss of Viggo. Before they got too far, the M-comms rang again.

"Don't even think about answering it, we don't need her crying again." Psymon yelled over the sound. Atomika kept on dragging the team behind, his leg now a dark shade of purple.

"Atomika?" Kaori squeaked, looking at his leg.

"Maybe you should rest? Im sure Nate-kun will let us rest a little if we ask him..."

Atomika cringed as he used a tree branch for support.

"I don't want us to spend another second out here than we need to..don't worry, im fine..." Atomika lied, his leg was completely numb..he couldn't even feel it. Soon, night had overtaken the riders, they couldn't even see the tree's infront of them.

"Alright, thats as far as we are gonna get today.." Nate groaned, the last thing he wanted to do was have them spend the night out in the cold. The M-comm rang again, this time Psymon finally got frustrated with the sound and turned his on.

"DEAD PEOPLE DONT TALK THIS FUCKIN MUCH!" Psymon yelled into his, then threw it out in the woods ahead of them. Zoe couldn't help but to laugh at Psymon as he panted out of anger, stuffing a handful of marshmallows in his mouth.

"..Atomika?" Griff asked in the darkness.

"What?" he answered, his voice deep and raspy.

"...Your the only person who works at Big Radio..right?" Griff asked again, sounding a little scared.

Atomika sat up, he was resting his head on Elise's lap.

"Yeah...why?"

Griff's eyes opened wide.

"Then who is this person doing your job?" Griff asked, turning his M-comm all the way up.

The M-comm blared in the darkness, though no one could see eachother, they all knew they were listening.

"...and were back..you are listening to Radio Big, This is DJ Powder Pete here. This song goes out to one lucky lady by the name of Allegra..."

Allegra jumped.

"...Its called 'Next time you better make sure someone is dead before you leave them' "

Griff dropped his M-comm

"Wait wait wait...you said Pete was dead, Allegra!" Zoe yelled.

"I...I...I didn't check! I was...Viggo!" Allegra stammered.

"Looks like you all are up shit creek without a paddle.." Pete chuckled.

"Its a shame the only way out of here is on the Plane..and you all are...eh...20 miles away from it, by now. Well, you should be if Nate is with y'all still." he inhaled deeply "I reckon y'all were heading towards Black Station? Welp, I gotta little problem for ya."

Everyone waited to see what Pete was going to say.

"Y'all are going in the wrong direction..." Pete said, they could almost hear his lips curl into a smile.

Mac stood up.

"FUCK!"

"..Oh! Its get better...ya see. Since y'all left me for dead out there..I think Ill do the same to y'all. But you know..it takes too long for someone to die in the cold...so I reckon ill go ahead and do it myself.."

"....Thats never a good thing" Elise whispered.

"I don't think he is gonna really kill us..is he?" Kaori whispered.

"Oh..by the way...this is a recorded message....from yesterday..at 4 o'clock."

Every jumped.

Radio Big had signed off.

They all stood silent for awhile..then Griff spoke, half crying.

"Wait...that means..if..he made that yesterday around four...."

Nate finished his sentence for him.

"That means he is only a couple of miles behind us..."

Moby was heard getting up and brushing the snow off of his pants.

"Well, in that case...don't you think we should be getting da fuck outta hea?"

Mac replied, "For the first time I agree with you, Moby"
