Chereads / Stuck! / Chapter 5 - PLOT TWIST

Chapter 5 - PLOT TWIST

It had been 2 years since we got on the ship, and me and Leo have made some friends. 

We have Jake who's 17.

And Emma who is also 17.

They're the oldest.

 Then there is Vincent, Me, Leo, Reine, and Micah, Who are all 16.

 I don't really know Micah though, he's reckless so I don't hang out with him. But Leo insisted on having him here, and since Leo's like a brother to me,

 I can't just say no.

 So Micah tags along. I gave him my V137 mech, so he would stop bugging me, to let him make changes, I'm pretty sure it's destroyed now but oh well.

I haven't even tested it but I know.

I just told him that I'm saving it for the right time.

Which is an absolute lie, but he doesn't know that.

But what happened that day wasn't something I look back at in fondness.

That day, was the day that changed our lives, forever, and for the worst.

The teachers asked us all to go to the science room, so we could see something the scientists made.

But we didn't want to, and decided to sneak out of class into the lounge.

Our favorite Mr. Brock found us.

He didn't mind us skipping school, because he was so nice.

But then we soon heard a crash, outside.

Then we heard screaming, screaming turning to slashing,

slashing to eating.

We were all scared.

Vincent entered the room

because he didn't skip school like us.

"We're all going to die"

Were the words he said, with a feared face.

"Vincent what happened?!" Emma asked.

"Th- The Project NextGen they wanted to show us a new creature they made, but it wasn't cute, no it was far too ugly, far too scary, and it broke out, and killed everyone." Vincent Replied.

We were all horrified.

To be trapped in a spaceship with a murderous monster.

Who would've thought.

*creak* (Mr. Brock opens door)

"Mr. Brock, what are you doing?" Leo asked.

"I'm sorry Leo, but I must protect you all." He replied with a clearly scared face.

*Roar*

"I have to go now, to face that beast, but I have some more words."

"Yea?" I asked.

"Jake, lead them, Emma, be a mother to them, Doe, you're the smartest, so you get to the spaceship controls, and land somewhere safe." He said, after running off into the dark spaceship.

We were all confused and shaking.

But Jake, grit his teeth. And stood up.

"Doe, charge up the V137, Leo, you scout ahead make sure the monster isn't approaching, Emma, give me your self defense taser, and Micah, get ready to pilot V137. Reine, you stay back for now" Jake said.

"Yes Sir!" We all exclaimed.

We were finally filled with hope, except Reine, she looked like she felt like she didn't have a purpose. 

I wanted to comfort her, but there was no time.

We got everything ready, and Leo came back.

"The monster, it's coming this way!" Leo exclaimed.

"Alright, Doe, is the V137 charged up?" Jake said smiling, since his plan was working.

*Doe Nods*

"Alright then, let's go face a monster." Jake said.

*Swoosh* *Roar*

The monster jumped at Jake before any of us could see it.

Was this the end of Jake?

Would he die now?

Who would be our leader?

*Slash* 

We opened our eyes to something crazy.

"Y- You guys go without me, I won't make it, not me, not useless Reine."

We were all frightened, and Emma broke down into tears.

Who am I kidding? 

We all did.

Reine held the monsters mouth open, her soul slowly leaving her body.

"Run, or I'll haunt you all" Reine said chuckling.

Chuckling.

What a champ.

But we had no choice but to run to the control center.

Past Mr. Brocks ripped up body.

We were making it!

That was until more monsters appeared.

It was over for us, it really was.

Until Micah snatched the V137 from me and got in.

"No Micah! It's not stable yet!"

But he ran into the monsters.

"Wanna see what I added to the V137 Doe?" He said with a smirk on his face.

"Wait- you didn't-" I asked.

"SELF DESTRUCT!!!" He screamed as he pressed a red button. 

And jumped out.

He was so cool doing that, but I here was so useless.

But it seemed like the self destruct was too.

It wasn't working.

It needed electricity.

I knew what to do, I took Emma's taser from Jake, and quickly crafted an explosive, from all the machinery I had in my pocket.

And then Leo snatched it from my hand.

He jumped in the mech.

Placed the explosive in, and ran as it exploded.

"That's officially 1000 of Doe's Mech's destroyed"

He said with a smile.

And we entered the ships cockpit, and shut the door.

"We did it team!" Jake said.

"We can't celebrate now." I said

"Why?" Emma asked.

"The explosion did too much, and the ship is in critical condition, we only have enough fuel to land on a nearby planet with nobody on it." I said

"Wait, so no adults to kill the monsters here?" Leo asked.

"Yes, sadly, we're going to land on this planet, with some monsters alive." I said.

"Whatever it doesn't matter, as long as we live." Jake said angrily.

"Jake-" I tried to start

"No, crash land us now."

And so I did, I landed us on a new planet.

The impact was hard, but not too hard, since I carefully studied the ship everyday of being here.

I woke up.

In pain, after having dreams of scaring friends with my mechs.

"No, it's not time for that." I said.

And then, I stood up, and decided to place my friends sleeping bodies in one place, not knowing Leo was awake, and being unable to find Micah.

I decided to leave a message with my almost broken camera.

And I left, after giving up on finding Micah, and the p*stol I made him.

I left, and Leo jumped down from the trees, which I expected, and we walked away.

"Stay close, there could be hostiles." I said.

"Which is why I'm here." Softly said Micah.
