Newes

As the morning came and the three suns rose, everyone slowly woke up. As Ludwig got up, he laughed and said "Damn that was uncomfortable", so Winston said with a bit annoyed face "Atleast we have a place to sleep", so he said "I was just joking". Xavier said "Allright, its time to start this day", so Jack asked "What will we do?", so he said "We will work today and build a camp around us", so everyone nodded or mumbled "Okay". Omar started to get sticks from the woods and heavier wood pieces with his parents. Omar was clearly having hard time carrying them, so Susan looked dissapointed and said "You should have kept youself in a better shape", "Now it pays off", so Omar said "I know mom, you dont have to remind again" and walked more faster passing them. Bowser was still snoring in his hut, so Xavier came and surprise woke him up and yelled "Up now!", so he yelled "Jesus christ!", "What is your problem!", so Xavier said "You have to help us", so Bowser said "Help?", "Who even made you a leader?" and rolled back to sleep, so he walked out and Valentine asked "Is he still sleeping in his hut?", so Xavier nodded and Izzy walked by and said "Let me deal with this" and smirked. She walked to the tent and poured a bucket full of cold water on top of Bowser, so he screamed and yelled "Bitch!" and almost attacked her, but just walked out soaked wet while everyone laughed. Then Yolanda got some tools from the pod and saw Apollo sitting in the corner, so she asked "Why are you here?", so he said "I'm no use" with a empty look, so she said with a sad look "Dont say that, im sure you can help us", so he sighed and got up.

 Yolanda sensed that he is not doing very good. Xavier came with bunch of wood he collected and shouted "Lets start to build walls!", so some people gathered around and started to work on it. Joey came to Amanda and noticed how much she was carrying and was having hard time, so he asked "You need help?", so she got pissed and said "I dont need your help!", "I know what you are trying to do!", so Joey said "Sorry, I just wanted to help", but Amanda didnt hear, because she left. Ludwig and Lennard went to the pod to check the food storage and they realized that there was very little food, Lennard said "What a shame", so Ludwig said "I heard rumours about you eating them alone", so he looked shamed and Ludwig said "We have to hunt food", so Lennard said "It could be dangerous", "We dont know anything about these animals", so Ludwig nodded and walked out. Ludwig came to Xavier and said "I think we should go hunting, so we have food for later", Xavier nodded and shouted "We are going hunting!", "We need few people with us!", so Valentine, James, Andrew and Winston agreed to come. Ben told his Father "Dont leave me, dad!", so he hugged him and said "Son, Im not leaving you", "Im just gonna help them find food, Okay?", so he nodded. As the group left camp, Xavier said "Remember to keep alert", "We dont know what lives here". Andrew said "I have hunted my whole life, but this is scary as hell", Valentine said "I never really hunted, but yeah I agree".

Meanwhile in the camp, Zayn and Josh who were Bowsers friends were sitting together and Bowser said "Who the fuck let that guy tell us what to do", Zayn said "Yeah, what if we just leave", so Josh said "Do we have a chance", so Bowser said "I say we show him who is stronger", so they agreed. Ray who walked by heard it, so he asked "Dont say you are serious", "I think we are doing just fine" and walked away. Olivia was throwing her knife against a tree and Jack walked by and asked "Jesus christ, you are pretty skilled", "I would not dare to challenge you" and laughed, so Olivia laughed a little too and said "I quess I have trained a bunch". In the forest the hunters had been hunting for a while and they suddenly heard movement in the bushes, so they stopped and Xavier said "Shhh..." and they listened and watched for any movement. Suddenly a huge lion like animal jumped towards them and threw James to the ground and he started to scream loud and Xavier yelled "SHOOT NOW!", so everyone started to shoot the animal and after bunch of bullets, it fell to its side dead and Valentine ran at James and yelled "Are you Okay?!" and realized that his whole abdomen was open and as he spit blood he said "Leave me, there is no going back" Xavier and Andrew walked to the side and talked "There is no way, he will survive", "But we cant just leave him here", so Andrew said "Maybe we should show him mercy", so Xavier asked surprised "Are we really gonna kill him?" and James who heard it said "It's Okay, show me mercy", "Let me do it", so Valentine asked "Are you sure?", and he nodded, so Winston gave his gun and everyone walked away while they heard a shot. 

As they came back, they found him dead and Xavier said "Let's carry him" and Ludwig said "We will bury him". Andrew said "Should we take the animal too?", so Ludwig said "I forgot about it" and Xavier said "Yeah, that is our dinner", so they returned to camp. There was a small progression on the wall. Everyone looked shocked when they saw James's body. Jack came and asked "What happened?", so Xavier explained "This animal we killed, attacked him", so he said "Dammnit", "It seems to be really dangerous" and they started to prepare the grave. Soon afterwards they buried him and continued the work. Valentine came to Xavier and said "That cant happen ever again", so Xavier said "I know", "I'm now really worried about going to the woods", "We have to be even more alert", "We will have to learn how to handle these animals". Then Susan came to Andrew and said with a warningful look "Mister, you could have died there!", "What were you thinking leaving us!", so he said "I have to help us", "I'm good at hunting, so I can't just hide". Ben asked Winston "Dad, you almost died!", so he pet him and said "James wasn't alert, I wont die", "This wont happen again", so Ben said "Promise", so he said "I promise".

Then Yolanda went to James's grave and prayed. Bowser came and laughed at her and said "What the hell, do you think you are doing?", so she said "Praying", "Join me!", so he laughed and said "really?!", "Im not buying that bullshit!" and Ray who heard it came and said "Hey, dont be like that", "She can believe in what she wants to", so Bowser walked away and said "Whatever". Ray stood beside Yolanda and said "Dont listen to him, he is a jerk", "Did you know James?", so She said "No, but I thought it would be good to come here", so Ray smiled and said "That is good of you" and they together prayed. It was time to eat as the sky was slowly turning dark. Ludwig and Jack started to create the fire and Xavier who had prepared the meat, carried the meat to the fire and they started to cook it. A little girl called Rose was sitting alone, so Izzy came at her and asked "What is your name?", so she said "Rose", so Izzy smiled and said "Cool name!", "Are you here alone?", so she nodded and said "I had to leave everyone behind", while tears were coming out of her eyes, so Izzy looked shocked and hugged her and said "Honey, I know it hurts", "I had to leave my parents", "If you ever need to talk, then I'm here for you, Okay?", so she nodded, wiped her tears and said "Thank you". Jack sat beside them and asked "Everything good?", so Izzy said "Yeah" and told Rose "Rose, This is my big Brother, Jack", so Jack smiled and said "Hi, nice to meet you, Rose" and sat beside them. Xavier yelled "Food is ready!", so many cheered and walked towards the food. Xavier, Valentine and Ludwig sat near the edge with the ocean view. 

Ludwig laughed and said "It's like some imaginary world", so Valentine said "That is exactly how I feel", so Xavier said "Yeah, well strange forests, pink sky and three suns", "Sure sounds pretty weird" and gave a smirk. Then Ludwig said with a sad look "I wonder how Earth is doing", Xavier said "I heard that our 10 second travel to here took 4 months in Earth, so...", "The are allready dead", so Valentine started to cry and said quietly "My baby girl", so Xavier put his hand around her neck and she said "Atleast she is now at peace", so Ludwig looked to the sky and said "I hope my family has found peace too", so Xavier said "We all do". Yolanda was eating with Ray and Yolanda said "Have you seen Apollo?", so he responded "No", so she said "I'm worried about him", "He seems so...", "Depressed", so Ray said "Maybe he had to leave his family behind", "We are all suffering". Inside the pod, Apollo was sitting in the corner crying, while watching a picture of a little girl. Then Winston took Ben to sleep and Bowser crawled into his tent and everybody else packed inside the pod and went to sleep.
