Beep, beep, beep, beep. . . . SPLASH! Zzzh Cap . . . are you there. . Zzzh. Team UN! . . . Zzzh "This is Captain Cayden... (Takes a deep breath). . . McGriff. We were shouted out of the atmosphere by something hot and bright as the sun. Do you read me?" Cayden yells into the comms with blood dripping from his forehead.
I start to wake up to the flashing red lights in the white navigations room. I see April to my side so I wake her up.
"What happened?" She says like a drunk terrorist being arrested."
"We crashed on planet 1stEarth wake Allison and Bracha I'll go find Noah." I said.
I leave the room realizing that Noah was on his way to the cafeteria part of the ship so I headed that direction. As I'm walking past all these different doors I see this big hairy wolf man looking thing, to think about it he made me think of a werewolf. That's exactly what he was! He turned around smelling the blood that was on my arm and I heard a voice.
"LeCoreyen c'mon that big ugly thing can smell all of our blood, and we also have a big water leak. It's rising fast so we need to hurry!" Said Noah
The werewolf turns around and charges after me after I run down the hallway and towards the navigation room. We hear a bunch of streaming water from down the halls and both Noah and I start to run faster but it isn't fast enough. Just as the water starts to get to us the werewolf picks us up and runs so fast we're in the navigation room in minutes.
We enter the room and Cayden, Bracha, and Allison jump up pointing their guns at the werewolf.
I yell, "Stop putting your guns down, he saved us from the water. Cayden how's the communication problem going?"
Cayden answers saying, "The communications aren't only being jammed by the planet's atmosphere, but they're damaged as well so we're getting a lot of interference. Wait did you say water?"
"Yes we have a huge leak near the cafeteria and the rooms were basically sinking. This big guy grabbed us and got us here immediately." I say trying to catch my breath for the third time.
"Just because he saved us doesn't mean he's on our side." He did attack me!" Noah says.
"Yeah that's because you attacked me first." The werewolf says in a loud but super deep and scratchy voice.
"Oh yeah hahaha." Noah says scratching the back of his head with a big smile on his face.
"So what's your story? Why are you helping us?" Allison says in a sweet polite but scary mean mom voice.
"The ghosts of this planet are not really ghosts. I used to be an officer of law enforcement on this planet until they found out I wasn't doing the right duties one should be doing while watching the ghosts. They banished me, but the human ghost took me in to keep their secret safe. They sent me here to investigate before the golems came then the authorities. Now that I know you're humans I will safely exhort you to the leader of the ghost's." Said the werewolf.
We gather our belongings and some swimming suits. We also show the werewolf the way out of the ship. As we exit the ship lightning strikes behind the rock wall with water streaming down it like a waterfall. The words [E KINGDOM] were engraved on the wall.
The werewolf starts to tell the team that it originally said Vampire Kingdom, but over the years it was ruined and never rebuilt. He also says that the kingdoms and colonies are beyond that wall.
"I'm going to go under the water and get a landscape of the entire world so that we'd have proof." Noah says.
As he goes under he falls through the water into this dry humid cave. He gets the landscape and asks himself, "Is that an entire empire?"
