" wh...whats going on..? Wh...where am I...? Am...am I asleep? Soul...where are you...?" Maka felt the sand bury her fingers, she heard a ringing noise in her ears but was shooken awake by the smoke that filled the air. She slowly sat up and was horrified by the chaos that surrounds her. Debris everywhere, people screaming in terror, and explosions causing people and debris to fly! She forced herself to stand up and started running through the chaos screaming for her friends. She tried to find their soul wavelengths but the chaos was too strong. Maka wss overwhelmed by what wss happening and dropped to her knees.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING!" She screamed while clutching her ears, she felt fast foot steps coming toward her and a muffled voice shout something, she looked over her shoulder and saw a ma with dark blonde hair running toward her motioning something "Wha-" "MOVE!" Maka looked around and noticed that she was next to a giant engine. Before she could think the man grabbed her by the arm and pulled her away from the explosion just in time! Maka starred at the ball of fire then at the man who looked at her for a split second then ran back into the chaos,
"Who...who was that?" She asked herself but remembered that her friends were still in the chaos so she ran back in.
Blackstar woke in his now upside down seat. "Wait what!? Where am-" another engine blew up near him causing his seatbelt to snap, he fell a few feet and landed on what seemed to be the ceiling. Confused he stood up and ran toward the gaping hole, he stood in shock as he saw what was happening. He looked around trying to comprehend what happened but was interrupted by a fiery piece of debris, he jumped back and bumped into someone. He turned and saw a short blonde haired chick who continued screaming.
"Dont touch me freak!" She pushed Blackstar and ran off "Who you calling a freak!?" He started to run after her but another piece of debris blocked his path.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING!" Shouted a voice in the distance, blackstar turned "Wait a second I know that whine! MA-" a sudden force pushed him off his feet causing him to hit a piece of the wing. He rubbed his head then looked up but a cloud of smoke covered where Maka was sitting "No wa-" "Hey!" Shouted a man on the other end of the wing,
"Come here! Help us lift the wing!" Blackstar hurried over there and saw a man with his legs crushed under the wing "Ha! I can lift this one handed!" He thought to himself as Jack counted down, after they lifted the wing Blackstar quickly ran back towards the smoke covered area. "Maka!? Hello!?" "Blackstar!?" Shouted another voice, sure enough it was Maka who ran towards him. She had cuts on her face "Youre alive!" He said in shock said in shock "Have you found any one else!?"
"No I just ran here bu- wait a second!" Maka interrupted herself "Wh-what is it!?" Blackstar asked hesitantly "If me and you are here...then... wheres kid?" They starred at each other for a moment "KID! WHERE ARE YOU!? KID!"
"Flight 815...only...sydney airport...oceanic...815...815!" Kid's eyes shot open as that number repeated,he starred at the palm trees that covered the sky. He attempted to sit up but felt a pain shoot through his back. Kid looked around trying to see where he was but froze "Im being watched..." he thought to himself as he looked through a space in the vines, something was moving toward him fast. Kid quickly started scooting away from the vines and laid up against a tree, telling himself to run when it comes. A twig snapped and a blonde lab leaped through the vines and landed in front of kid who was starring at the dog wondering if it was going to attack, the dog sniffed kid's boots and licked the dirt off them. Kid awkwardly patted the dog's head and used the tree trunk to help himself stand up, he ignored the pain in his back and headed toward the vines. The dog ran past him as if it were leading him somewhere, so kid followed. He walked through the forest for a few minutes then walked into the chaos. He starred at all the flying debris, all the screaming people, and all the fire from the explosions.
"Oh my god..." he murmured to himself, the dog ran back into the jungle leaving kid in the chaos, kid was about to go after him but heard a different scream. He looked around and saw a woman crouched over in pain clutching her stomach. Kid ran to her and knelt down next to her "Are you okay?" He said some what calmly, the blonde woman looked up at him but couldnt speak, Kid looked at her stomach and realized that she was pregnant! "Y-Your going to be alright! Just...take slow breaths!" He said shakily, he didnt know what to do since this was his first encounter with a pregnant woman (let alone one that was in a plane crash!) A shooting pain went through his back this time a lot more painful, he felt something sticking out of his back so his gripped it, closed his eyes, then yanked it out of his back! Kids vision blurred as he looked at the blood covered piece of metal, the woman starred at kid who was now pale "Y-you okay?" She had an australian accent, kid knodded and threw the piece of metal and took a deep breath. The woman suddenly cringed and held her stomach, she let out a scream of pain. Kid saw a familiar figure running towards them, it was Jack! He started asking the woman different questions as if he was giving her a doctors appointment right on the spot. Kid watched him but heard two voices shout his name, he thouhht he was hallucinating but the voices repeated, he stood and followed the voices. Kid recognized these voices "Blackstar, Maka!" He shouted back, he reunited with the other meisters and all three of them ran for cover as the main engine blew up, this pushed everyone on the beach off their feet and scrambling to avoid the many pieces of the engine now falling from the sky.
later
It was night time and the three meisters gathered around a small campfire, no one spoke. They were all worried about their weapons. "Here," said a woman with long brown hair, she handed each of the meisters a blanket from the plane, they thanked her but as she walked away she kept looking over her shoulder,
"Whats her problem?" Blackstar smirked "Isnt it obvious? We are three 14 year olds sitting alone with out our parents..." said kid who was annoyed by Blackstars comment. Maka starred at the fire, thinking about her scythe who for all she knows could be dead. Tears formed in her eyes but she was quickly pulled out of thought by a young man who walked up to them, her eyes grew as she saw him "He looks like a...like a model" she thought to herself and giggled,
"So my sister kicked me out of the campsite that I built so... do you gyys mind if I sit with you guys?" Maka bit her lip trying to hold in her screams of joy ans just knodded.
"Thanks, by the way im Boone"
"H-Hi boone, my names Maka" she said with a nervous smile, kid and Blackstar starred at her for a second,
"Im Blackstar! And is your sister the blonde chick who screams alot?"
"Blackstar that is rud-"
"Ah I see that youve met her, yeah shes my stepsister so Im kinda forced to be nice to her" Boone looked over at kid "My name is Kid" "Wait so are you guys friends?" They nodded "We were traveling for a school field trip" Maka added, Kid and blackstar once again starred at her.
"Oh okay" they were silent "well im going to try and get my jacket, unless my sister is using it...ill be back." As he walked away Maka had a mini spazz attack making kid and Blackstar scoot away from her. She took a deep breath "He seems like a trustworthy guy..." Blackstar started laughing at her "You just met him how do you know if hes not a criminal or something?!" Kid added "He is not!"
"You never know! Its always a guy like him who turns out to be a murderer or something!" Blackstar added in between laughs, maka started blushing but a strange noise came from the jungle, the trees were rustling and a few fell over, the trio stood and joing thd wall of survivors trying to see what was going on. It was quiet for a second but a loud roar screeched through the forest! All of the survivors started murmuring to one an other but everyone was thinking the same question "What is that...thing"
two weeks later
The beach that was once covered in plane parts and debris was now covered with crude tents and campsites. The meisters tried to lay low and not draw attention to themselves (which caused Maka to hit blackstar with a branch every time he started talking obnoxiously.) The trio went out into the jungle to "hunt" but were actually trying to find their weapons. They had heard that some people found the front of the plane but not the tail end, this worried them.
"Okay you were closest to the end of the middle compartment, did you see anything?" Maka asked Blackstar who was leading the way,
"Of course I did!...well...luggage fell...and I saw kid fly up...then... like...um-" "You didn't see anything did you." Maka said disappointed, "No, but who cares! I mean it-"
"I saw the whole thing..." maka and blackstar turned and looked at kid in disbelief "Yeah right!" Blackstar smirked "Its true, since the gas that knocked everyone else out worked mostly for humans, it took longer for it to effect me." Maka stopped walking and faced kid she believed him,
"What did you see?"
"After almost hitting the ceiling I tried to look for you two but I couldnt find you guys in the rows, next thing I know the oxygen bags dropped down and everyone was knocked out and the tail end was ripped from the plane and flew away... I was finally knocked out before impact." They starred at him in shock "So...they...they could be..." Maka trailed off and kid looked at the ground. They were quiet but Blackstar broke the silence "Ah come on! Theres no way tsubaki died! Shes too awesome, like ME!" "Yeah Soul is tough to, im sure hes fine." Maka added "Pattys probably thinking they're at a hotel or something but I know Liz will never get on a plane again" they continued to joke about their weapons but all froze, something (or someone) had been following them. They slowly looked at each other and knodded "3...2...1!" They bolted onto three separate paths. Maka ran through thick patches of bamboo type trees and had to force her way through them to get away, she heard a train like sound following her as she ran faster. Maka wanted to turn around so badly but knew that she had to keep running, the noise grew louder and she ran faster. Another patch of bamboo blocked her path, she stepped back and dug her foot into the ground and flung herself through the patch and landed on the dirt ground. She felt a burst of pain in all her joints since she had just jumped through a wall of trees. Maka rubbed her head and sat up, she heard a couple voices coming toward her so she stood herself up and fixed herself so she didnt look as crazy as she did. The two people were a woman with long brown hair named Kate and the same man who saved Maka from the explosion, Sawyer. "H-Hi" Maka said while trying to control her breathing "Hey Maka, what are you doing out here?" Kate asked "Oh...me and my friends were just looking around for berries and stuff." Maka lied with a smile. "Whats going on at camp?"
"Oh, some jerk stole the water..." kate said looking at sawyer suspiciously "You can keep sayin its me but im tellin ya it wasnt" kate rolled her eyes "Anyways...where are your friends?" Maka thought for a moment "We got separated..." Maka held her breath hoping kate wouldnt ask why or how,
"Well you should come with us, we might run into them." Maka nodded and followed them on a path into the jungle.
Blackstar ran down a rocky path, jumping over large rocks. Unlike Maka, Blackstar turned around every few seconds trying to see if he was still being chase but he didnt see anyone. Blackstar stopped and looked around confused.
"Ha! Looks like they gave up! No one can catch blackstar!" He continued to brag about himself but grew quiet, he could hear a noise in the distance, it sounded like a train but as it grew closer it changed into a roar. Blackstar looked around trying to see where it was coming from,
"C-come on! You think you can sneak up on blackstar? Ha! You got another thing com-" a giant ball of smoke came out of no where and flew through blackstar, as it did blackstar could see his whole life in that cloud, playing frame by frame. The smoke then flew away. Blackstar stood there staring at the ground,
"What...what just...happened?" He shook his head "eh whatever," he headed back to camp.
Kid ran down a dark path with large trees, his heart pounded as he heard the monster close behind. He looked around and saw a sharp turn up ahead, he skidded across the dirt and continued running on the new path. He looked over his shoulder and saw the smoke monster dodging the corner with ease,
"How can I lose it.." he thought as he squeezed through every nook and crany but the monster still followed! Kid saw a tall sturdy tree up ahead and had a sliver of hope, he ran up to it and started climbing. He was a half way up the tree but as he reached for a branch the monster roared and gripped his leg.
"Not good, NOT GOOD!" He shouted as the monsted started pulling him from the tree, the bark scraped his hands as it pulled him off the tree causing him to lose his grip! Kid fell of the tree and desperately dug his bleeding hands into the dirt but the monster kept pulling him. As he got closer to the monster his fathers message started repeating over and over pretty much taking over Kid's mind. The monster held Kid upside down leaving kid helpless. The smoke had lightning in it and everytime they striked, an image of Kid's life appeared. Kid starred for a second and saw a familiar image and started to reach for it, his blood covered hand was in the smoke when a gunshot went off! The smoke monster roared, dropped Kid, then flew away to find another target. Kid slowly sat up and rubbed his hands slightly and looked up, Sawyer had his gun in the air with Kate perposly hiding Maka behind her.
"Kid!" Maka ran to him and smiled "are you okay?" She looked at his hands and immediately snatched them and starred at the scratches, "Yes im okay, it doesnt hurt that bad." Maka smiled and helped him up "Well at least we're safe, now we just need to find blackstar" "Im sure hes off trying to pick a fight with someone or something. He'll come back later." Kid looked at Sawyer and Kate "thank you for saving me."
"Dont go running through the jungle like a maniac and get caught by a monster again cause I aint gonna save you twice" Sawyer joked but kate glared at him and sighed "We should head back, hopefully they've found the water." They all headed back to camp and later blackstar came back and talked about his "epic battle" with the smoke monster but was interrupted by Jack who gsthered everyone around.
"There is a cave not too far from the beach, it has a waterfall of fresh water, and is shaded. I think itd be best if we move camp and live there" the survivors all murmered to each other about this,
"What if rescue comes and we arent here for them?" Asked Shannon, Boones annoying step sister. "Me and who ever else wants to go to the caves, will set up camp while the rest of you stay here on the beach just in case rescue does come." The survivors agreed with this and went back to their camps.
"What do you think we should do?" Maka asked the other meisters "I think we should go to the caves, that way we can explore more and possibly find our weapons...plus its very hot out here..." kid trailed off at the end and Maka agreed "HAHAHAHA! You guys are abunch of wooses! I can handle a little heat!"
"Arent you worried about tsubaki?" Blackstar grew quiet "...FINE we'll move to the caves!"
