Rosario Vampire: The Lost World

Underway; A Long Journey

"Our communication equipment's been destroyed. And if your radio and satellite phone were in those trailers..."

"Yeah. Unfortunately, they were."

Right now, everyone was gathered at the remains of the base camp, now looking around the now shattered pieces of the satellite dish. Braedey was currently being checked over by Moka and Kurumu, the former in a pink raincoat and boots, and Rex and Jessie were currently thinking of a solution of what to do now.

"Then we're stuck here, ladies and gentlemen. And we're stuck together, thanks to you people." Roland said to nick and his group.

"We came here to watch. You came to strip-mine the place." Nick protested, then glared at Dieter, who was walking around him. "Back off." He warned.

"At least we came prepared." Ludlow spoke up.

Braedey snapped his head over to the man so fast, he thought he heard the tendrils in his neck nearly snap. "Five years of work and a hundred miles of electrified fence couldn't prepare the other island. What do you think, a couple dozen Marlboro men will help?" He asked sarcastically.

"They're all nothing but looters, Braedey." Jessie walked up, then glared at Ludlow. "You came to take what doesn't belong to you. You have no rights."

"An extinct animal brought back to life has no rights." Ludlow interjected. "It exists because we made it. We patented it. We own it."

"Yeah, right." Kurumu scoffed.

"You looking for a problem?" Nick glared at Dieter.

"And I found you, didn't l?" Dieter interjected, only for Nick to punch him square in the face, and before the two could fight, Rex forced them away, while Braedey snarled out in anger at the mercenaries, making them step back in concern.

Roland walked up to Nick. "I know you. You're that Earth First bastard." He spoke to him in reminisce.

Ludlow overhead this. "What's Earth First?" He asked.

"Professional saboteurs." Roland replied.

"We're environmentalists!" Nick snapped.

"Criminals."

"Knock it off! Listen to me." Sarah yelled out, as Braedey picked up her bag, and handed it to her. "By moving the baby Rex into our camp, we may have changed the adults' perceived territory." She told the group.

"Their what?" Ludlow asked.

"That's why they persisted in destroying the trailers." Robert Burke explained to him. "They'll now be defending this entire area now."

"We have to move right now." Sarah informed.

"How? And to where?" Rex asked her. "Our boat and their airlift are waiting for orders we can't even send."

"Alright. Alright." Ludlow pulled out a map, showing the whole island. "There's a communications centre here near the old operations building." He told everyone. "Everything ran on geothermal power. It was never meant to need replenishing. If we can get here, we can send a radio call to the airlift."

"You know the frequency to call them?" Braedey asked him.

"Right here in this book." Ludlow pulled out the book, and Roland took it out of his hand.

"We'll mind those." Roland informed them.

"How far is the village?" Nick asked.

"A day's walk, maybe more." Ludlow then saw his alcohol flask on the ground, just as Braedey picked it up, and handed it to him. "That's not the problem."
