Frozen Alive

The ship made an explosive landing that sent a void of smoke and fog into the windows. The icy trees moved to the wind and some of the animals ran away. A small Xiawer peaked out from its burrow to see the commotion then darted back in. The ships exhaust pipe melted the snow about the mountainous region behind it and when it was cut off, the tips was already freezing up. Slowly the gangplank was lowered. King Goobot, Tee and Zix walked out. Tee and Zix held guns. King Goobot checked the area for another ship and when he noticed nothing was in eyesight, he and the others walked back inside.

"Brrrrrrrr, is it cold." Zix exclaimed.
"Here, take this." King Goobot said.
"What about me?" Tee asked.
"All of the coats are over there." King Goobot stated.

The Junk Man, Professor Calamitous, Travoltron and Tee walked over to the coat rack and each of them took very heavy coats down from the hooks. King Goobot stood at the door and looking outside he silently sent out a prayer to his wife, who he had resently found out she was pregnant with his first child.

"Travoltron, will you stay behind?" King Goobot asked.
"Sure." Travoltron said.
"Why's he staying behind?" Professor Calamitous asked.
"We need a backup in case trouble arouses." King Goobot stated.

Slowly stepped out into the fridged atmospher, the breathes of Zix, Tee and Professor Calamitous could be seen clearly against the white sky. King Goobot was staying behind to give orders to Travoltron and the girls. He was still very steamed about what Angela had done to him. They all were steaming because of what she had said.

"Coming or what?" King Goobot exclaimed.
"Out in that air?" Angela said. "Think again."
"Suit yourself." King Goobot sighed. "Whimp."
"What did you just call me?" Angela exclaimed.
"Nothing." King Goobot exclaimed.

King Goobot walked out of the ship with frosty breath and shivering shoulders. He felt his crown rattling from atop his head and he felt his teeth clatter against each other. Zix and Tee were way ahead of him and Professor Calamitous was a little to his left. He felt the overbearing repulses of fear sting his heart and he wished he could scream. Before King Goobot went to far, he heart a small shriek from above. He lifted his head up and saw a Flauticus, a predatory bird. Without paying any attention to it he moved onward.

Angela looked out her window and saw the bird. It had the biggest and bluest wings she had ever seen. Its beak was a fiery yellowish red and the talons were huge. She heard it hiss downward and without thinking she started banging her hands against the window pane. The bird swooped in and almost swiped King Goobot's crown from his head. King Goobot quickly moved out of the way and knocked himself into Tee who had his gun raised.

There was a hideous scream and then silence as the bird flew downward unto the ground. It made a huge floppy noise before a small hiss of air wooshed from its lungs. Its last flight was over for good now. Angela felt the anger inside of her grow and she felt the weakness of her soul float out. She had witnessed the killing of a magnificant bird that was only trying to survive.

"What's wrong?" Libby asked.
"Nothing." Angela sighed.
"Then, what are you looking at?" Cindy asked.
"Nothing in particular." Angela reassured herself.

Angela walked over to the table and sat down. Jimmy, Sheen and Carl were playing a card game and Eustace was sleeping. Cindy and Libby had been following her for the past hour. She really wanted it to stop. She wanted to be left alone. That was why she had moved from Earth to Velexia. To get peace, and to strengthen her muscles. She knew in her heart thoough, that something wasn't going right.

Meldar closed the googles with a special film of latex. His scarf was vastly overcoming his face and the only thing that could be seen was the top of his bluish purple hair. Vandanna handed things to him quickly. His cap, a knife and a whistle were all that was left for him to carry. Slowly and carefully she wound the binocular band about his head. Meldar could see her clearly.

"You stay here." Meldar ordered. "I'll be back in a few hours."
"I'll be waiting with a cup of choco." Vandanna teased.
"Okay that's enough." Meldar hissed.
"Come back soon." Vandanna sighed.
"You tend to yous and I'll tend to mine." Meldar belched.
"Okay okay sheesh." Vandanna hissed.

Meldar retreated from the ship and quickly floated against the heavy winds of the north. His scarf was dangerously flapping in the wind and his goggles clouded up. He felt the skin on his face tighten until it stretched. Clinching his teeth he pressed onward until he found the exact spot were he could spy on the other ship. So far, it looked like noone had noticed him.
