Chapter 02: Welcome to the Island Part 2
(Day 1)
Start Flashback
"Do you mind, Dustin?" The young blonde woman glared at him. She was starring as Dustin was getting peanuts all over the seats and onto her. She sighed, turning to Hunter who was reading a motocross magazine near the window of the plane. "How did I end up in the middle?"
Hunter smirked, using his hand to rest his head as he flipped through the magazine, "Don't look at me. I didn't book the seats."
"These peanuts are so good!" Dustin exclaimed, passing some over Tori towards Hunter. The dirty blonde reached over and grabbed some, popping them in his mouth.
"The next time we want to see Blake race we should really think about choosing somewhere closer. That way I don't have to be stuck 18 hours on a plane with you two."
"Oh come on, Tor." The brunette laughed, "We're not that bad. Besides, at least you got to see him."
She rolled her eyes, sighing a bit. Hunter eyed her, "Did something happen?"
Tori shrugged, "No." She grabbed a magazine from in front of her, "Nothing ever does with that boy."
Dustin glanced around, crumbling the peanut bag before unbuckling his seat belt, "Where's the bathroom in this joint?" He climbed into the aisle.
He swiftly left, leaving Tori and Hunter by themselves. Hunter put away the magazine and reached into his carry-on bag that was in front of him. He dug around, pulling out a pocket watch. He quickly threw it back in and leaned back into the seat and looked out the window.
The sound of the intercom beeped.
There is no reason to be alarm but if there is a doctor on board, can you please turn on your signal light. Thank you.
Tori glanced up from her magazine and watched as Dana got up from the aisle and made her way to the front. Leaning out to see what all the commotion was, she looked back over at Hunter, "Do you think Dustin is alright?"
"Maybe he overdosed on peanuts." Hunter cracked a smile.
She rolled her eyes, "That's not funny." She smacked him.
A brunette in a green shirt, Bridge, leaned over from the middle seats across from them and smiled, "You know that it is 1 out of 4 chances that you are likely to choke on a peanut if you are eating them at a steady rate."
Hunter leaned over and responded, "Yeah but you haven't met our friend. Nothing he does is steady." He laughed.
"Mind your business." The man next to bridge pulled him back. Before Tori could say anything the plane rocked for a split second while the lights flickered.
Hey ladies and gentlemen. We are just experiencing a minor turbulence. If you can take your seat as we have the seatbelt sign on and we'll get through this perfectly fine.
"What was that?" Tori grabbed onto her arm rest.
"Nothing to worry about." Hunter leaned back and placed his seat belt on.
"I'm worried. Where is Dustin?"
Then another rock of the plane caused people to panic a little. Tori grabbed hold of her necklace closing her eyes and whispering to herself. Suddenly, the last rocked and a quick feeling of decent sprang her eyes open as she reached down and grabbed onto Hunter's hand tightly, feeling Hunter tightly squeezed back.
End Flashback
Tori brushed through the jungle. The humidity caused her to sweat. She kept clearing her long blonde hair as she followed behind Tommy and the others. Hunter was the last to trail. "Do you know where you are going?" He called out ahead.
Sky continued to walk, "Probably better than you."
"Are you always this rude?" Hunter muffled under his breath.
"Not really." Bridges manage to overhear him, "Sky just has a tendency of being the alpha male."
"Zip it, Bridge." Sky halted and looked up at the sky.
"What are you looking at?" Tommy glanced up as well, "You keep looking up."
Sky pointed at some of the damage tree, "Some things fell from the sky." He then pointed down at a fallen suite case, "I'm guessing it came from the plane so we are going the right way."
"You've been saying that for the last hour." Hunter moved closer.
Sky turned to him, annoyed, glaring at him, "No one asked you to come."
"Calm down you two." Tommy stepped in, "We don't need to get into an argument here."
"We still have to find Dustin." Tori added, crossing her hands.
"Bridge, can you scan the area and see if you can find anything."
Everyone looked at each other as Bridge nodded to Sky. He lifted his hand, closed his eyes and waved it. Nothing happened. He opened his eyes and looked at Sky before attempting it again. Nothing. "I'm not sure why it isn't working."
"What are you doing?" Hunter groaned, "Why are we waving our hands here?"
Sky shook his head and turned to continue to walk as the others followed.
Dana was on her knees ruffling through the luggage. She found a familiar bag, she grabbed it and placed it over her shoulder. She pulled out several medications from another bag and stood back up, clearing her bangs. Spotting Summer talking to someone, she made her way over and sat down on the other side of her.
"Hey Dana." Summer sweetly looked at her, "This is Karone. Have you two met?"
Karone reached out and shook Dana's hand, "Nice to meet you. Wish it was under different circumstances."
Dana nodded before handing Summer some medication, "This should help prevent infection."
Adam walked over and around them. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Some of the others have returned with some water. They found a small stream not too far in. We also found a few water bottles. As for food, we don't have much."
Dana stood up. She wiped the sand off her pants and nodded, "Alright." She turned to see RJ moving some bodies. He stopped and looked back at her before a man in a uniform came up to him and started talking to him.
"Where did the others go?" Summer looked up at Dana, "Tommy and them?"
"They went to try to find the front end of the plane. See if there are any survivors or radios." Adam interjected, "Hopefully they are alright. It's been awhile."
"Where is this island?" Karone added. She stood up and looked back to the jungle. She could see the vast mountains and hills that shaped the land. The entire island looked huge, "Has anyone even seen such a place?"
"Come on." Summer took a step back, "It looks like it's getting late. We should collect some firewood or something. Maybe this island has fruit trees or something."
Karone nodded and followed Summer up onto the beach. Adam watched before moving closer to Dana. "Did you come here by yourself?"
She paused a bit lost in thought. "No." She finally forced a smile, clearing her bangs, "Not really."
She looked at Adam who gave a slightly confused look.
Tommy and the others stopped at a stream to rest. He bent down and cupped his hands with water and took a sip from it. He looked around noticing Tori and Hunter were missing. He turned and looked at Bridge, "Where did the other two go?"
Bridge glanced around, "I don't know."
"They were just slowing us down." Sky added soon after.
"That doesn't mean we forget about them." Tommy walked over to him, "We need to stick together."
Sky smirked, looking at an irritated Tommy. He shook his head and turned himself away, "We'll give them a few minutes then we'll look for them."
Before long though, Tori came stumbling out of the jungle in huge panic, "Hey guys! We found the plane!" the blonde woman shouted.
The others darted after her through the jungle. They swiftly made their way through the brushes and out into an open field where Tori stopped. The others came crashing out, stunned in disbelief by what they saw. Debris was everywhere, but most of the front plane was wedged high up on the jungle trees. Hunter was halfway up the tree. He looked down at the others. "I think someone is up here."
"Is it Dustin?" Tori shouted. "Be careful Hunter!"
Sky quickly jumped onto one of the trees and pulled himself up. The others watch as the two proceeded up the tree and into the plane. It was dark and some bodies lay lifeless in their chairs. Branches and twigs stuck through the windows as Hunter climbed inside. He inched his way inside and turned back to see Sky jumping in.
"Anything?" He yelled out to him. Hunter shook his head, "Make your way to the front."
The two made their way past the front where they heard slight crying. Hunter appeared past the curtain and notices the stewardess laying there hurt. He rushed to her and bent down. "Are you alright?" He inspected her, "We got to get you out of here."
Sky moved past them and slammed open the cockpit door. He turned his face when he saw the dead pilots before finally heading in. He searched around for a radio.
"How are we going to get her out of here?" Hunter shouted.
Tommy, Bridge and Tori were just standing down below. The blonde was pacing back and forth worried about the two of them up there. They then heard a strange noise and it forced her to stop.
"What was that?" Bridge looked around. It sounded like a cricketing sound crossed with zaps of electricity. It was unexplainable.
Tommy took a step back, turning around to see a large black smoke go straight towards them. He pushed Tori out of the way before throwing himself to the other side. The black smoke zipped past them and straight up the tree. Bridge hid behind a rock as he watched the smoke smash into the remains of the plane.
"Hunter!" Tori yelled, running towards the plane. Tommy grabbed her arm and yanked her back.
"What do you think you are going to do?" He said angrily, "You're going to get yourself killed."
"We have to do something."
They turned and watched as the smoke smashed into the plane again and forced it off the branch. The entire plane fell to the ground and rolled over. The smoke then rushed around and towards the others causing Tommy and Tori to jump out of the way once again. With vast haste, Bridge made his way towards the plane but the smoke swiftly turned right to the brunette.
"Bridge!" Tommy got back to his feet, clenching his chest. "Look out!"
Bridge turned, and the black smoke lifted him up into the air and into the tree. Bridge fell to the ground, unconscious. Tommy ran towards Bridge and stood in front of him. The mysterious black smoke creature rose high above Tommy, towering over him.
"Oh man." Tommy whispered to himself, "What am I going to do?"
Tommy looked back at the smoke. He felt like it was looking back at him. He wasn't sure if it was alive but it felt like it was starring right into his soul. He has seen stranger things but this was beyond strange. Finally the smoke moved away from them and vanished into the jungle.
Tommy bent down and checked for a pulse on Bridge. Feeling him groan a bit, he looked up to see Tori head over to the fallen debris. She bent down to see Sky crawling out battered and bruise. Sge helped him to his feet before the two bent down again to find if Hunter was okay. "Hunter? Are you hurt!"
He crawled towards the Stewardess who was still breathing. Tommy rushed over and looked inside. He recognized the stewardess as the one that called Dana to the front. He made his way inside to help drag her body out.
"What was that thing?" Tori looked at Sky, "That monster. It's nothing I've ever seen before."
He arched his brows, "Every before?" He asked, looking back to see Bridge still unconscious, "Bridge!" He made his way over.
Tommy helped the Stewardess up and moved away from the debris. Hunter finally climbed out and was helped by Tori. "Why can't we ninja streak?" She whispered, "None of our powers are working on this island."
Hunter looked at her, cleaning off the dirt, "I don't know. It's weird."
Sky bent down, pulling out the radio he found and looked at his friend who finally opened his eyes and looked at his comrade, "Are we home?" He whispered.
Sky placed his hand on his shoulder and looked at him.
Start Flashback
Sky and Bridge were walking through the airport with their suite case. Bridge stopped at a small coffee shop and looked at the menu that was posted on the board, "Look, Sky! They got toast!"
Sky continued to walk, "We don't have time. We are going to miss our flight."
Bridge frowned looking back at Sky before hearing someone scream.
"Dustin! Come on! Stop stalling!"
Bridge watched as Dustin scurried past him and towards Tori and Hunter who were waiting at the other end. The three of them then vanished around the corner and Bridge darted his eyes to a very annoyed Sky. The once S.P.D ranger ran up to catch up with his comrade before they started walking again.
"I don't understand why we can't just relax and hang out for a bit."
Sky shook his head as they walked around the corner, "We have to catch the wormhole. We were only here for a mission. You know that."
Bridge stopped, "A mission that we failed."
Sky turned around and sighed, "Look, we are just going home. Don't you want to go home?"
"Yeah I do. It's just that-"
"Come on." He pushed him along.
The two stopped and waited in line to hand their ticket to board. Unbeknown to them, RJ was standing in front of them. RJ handed his ticket, looking back and smiling before boarding. Bridge and Sky climbed on board and made their way to the middle of the plane. They found their seat in the middle row, towards the back. Sky climbed in and sat down with Bridge next to him. Bridge looked over to see Tori and Hunter talking to each other.
"I hate planes." Sky tried to get comfortable, "Why couldn't the worm hole be in Australia."
Bridge laughed, looking as Dustin rush by to sit down next his friends. Bridge then turned back to Sky. "Come on. Everything from the future flies."
"Yeah and they are technologically advance. More trustworthy."
"We did the best we could, Sky. You know that?"
His leader leaned back against his seat, "I don't want to talk about it."
"I'm sorry, Man. It wasn't your fault."

Night has fallen and the group was walking back towards the crash site. Tommy and Hunter helped carry the stewardess while they followed the others. After almost an hour of walking, they made their way onto the beach where they noticed a fire that was built.
Heading towards that direction, Dana spotted them. She ran over to them and looked at the injured woman. RJ made his way over as well with Adam following behind.
"Help me get her over there." Dana shouted, pointing towards a spot on the beach.
"Let us take her." RJ moved in to grab her arm and place her over his shoulder. Adam came in and help also and they moved away
Tommy exhaled, tired. He wiped his forehead and the group walked towards the water edge. Kira, Connor and Karone came walking towards them. "Did you find anything?" Karone asked eagerly.
Sky took out the radio and looked at it, "Yeah but isn't working." He flipped it over and opened the back, "It might need some fixing."
"We didn't find Dustin." Tori added, crossing her arms, "I'm really worried."
A man in a black uniform came walking towards him. He was wearing a red cap that was dirty and partially tattered. The others watched as he approached Sky, "I might be able to fix that."
Sky looked at him before slowly handing it over to him. The man looked at everyone before turning and walking away back up to the beach. "Who was that?" Hunter turned to the others.
"I think his name is Eric." Karone stated, "He's been sitting by himself all this time. No one really has talked to him."
"What a strange man." Bridge scratched the back of his head.
Tommy shook his head, "We should move everyone away from the debris. See what we gathered and just wait it out. Hopefully someone will come and rescue us."
"That is a good idea." Sky responded, "Alright, let's get everyone together and move away from the crash site. We shouldn't leave the beach though, incase we can spot a ship or a plane."
"And Dustin?" Tori asked.
"I don't want it to be true but he could be gone, Tori." Sky said sternly before turning to walk. The blonde stood there stun as Hunter pulled her close. They began walking up the beach when they heard a large roaring sound and trees moving.
All the survivors gathered and starred into the jungle forest. Trees after trees were being knocked over. Dana stopped helping the injured stewardess and stood up and watched. She stood next to RJ and Adam who glanced at each other.
The roar continued and the trees continued to topple over.
