The windshield nearly cracked. ‘’ Our windshield has cracked and I’m worried. If any small air comes in, we will die in few seconds’’ she said. They entered a huge black cave with huge black stones similar to bitumen and coal. The cave structure is sophisticated and well sculpted. ‘’This is beautiful, but I don’t think people live here’’ Yolanda said. ‘’Maybe alien slaves built this. Charles said. They both laughed. ‘’ I don’t think aliens exist maybe you are on to something though’’ Yolanda said.Charles set the bomb to detonate within 10 minutes. After he finished, he went back to the workstation.
‘’The nuke will go off in 10 minutes, lets drop now and hide our spacecraft. The nuclear bomb was dropped on the floor of the cave. They sped off and hid their spacecraft in a huge cave space and waited. ‘’Why did we set the nuclear bomb knowing it will wipe us all here. No matter where we are. Do you remember Hiroshima?’’ he said. ‘’ No, Charles this spacecraft has survived bigger challenges on our journey here.
10 minutes later. The nuclear bomb exploded causing a lot of havoc inside the black hole and it seemed almost all the natural laws, systems and flow of the Black Hole was disrupted. The cave trembled and was crushed almost everything inside. They heard Screams of monsters and creatures. Flying and ground creatures were on fire making huge terrifying noises to Yolanda and Charles. Yolanda took off her seat belt and sat on Charles’s lap and held him tight. Tons and tons of large stones fell on to the spacecraft and they nearly crushed it.
They also heard screams and different sounds they have never heard before. The Spacecraft trembled for few minutes then it stopped. There was silence and they breathed a sigh of relief. ‘’ That was very close’’ Yolanda said. ‘’ I think we are going to survive this’’ he said. ‘’ I hope so too’’ she said.
On Planet Earth, the sun has never risen for the past 6 days because it has disappeared. Everyone screams when they witness explosions in the sky. The explosion seemed like its coming down to earth but it never did. Everyone in the White House went outside to see this explosion from the sky. President Sharon Washington points to the sky. ‘’ That’s our nuke right? She said. He chief of staff comes closer to the president. ‘’Yes Madam President, that’s our nuke’’ he said. President Washington sighed. ‘’ May their souls rest in peace’’ she said.
SUPER DARK FORCE
Everything inside the spacecraft is upside down, papers, cupboards broken on the floor. They woke up from unconsciousness holding their heads. ‘’ Do you think the explosion worked? Charles asked. ‘’I think so’’ she replied. Charles switched on the nuclear engines, tries to fly the spacecraft but it was unable to move. They were stuck, the tons of large stones buried them deep under. ‘’There’s nothing we can do except wait and see what happens next’’ he said.
‘’ I agree’’ she said. ‘’I’m heading to the kitchen, do you want to join me? Charles asked. ‘’Yes, it’s been 12 hours since we last ate’’ she replied. They headed to the kitchen, stretching their arms. Yolanda opened the fridge and took out, lettuce, tomatoes, ham and cheese. ‘’ We have achieved our objective, right?’’ he asked. ‘’Yes, we have fulfilled our objective’’ she replied. Charles took the bread and handed it to Yolanda. As she was preparing the sandwiches, took mineral water bottles from the fridge. ‘’What were those sounds? He asked.
‘’I don’t know but they were very frightening sounds’’ she replied. ‘’ Maybe they were aliens…… or dinosaurs’’ he said. Yolanda stopped what she was doing and looked at Charles, shaken to what he just said. Charles laughed out loud at Yolanda. ‘’I got you’’ he said. Yolanda calmed down and continued putting ham on to the slice of bread. ‘’Stop that Charles, you know I never liked scary staff’’ she said. She finished making the sandwiches and gave Charles his. ‘’ This sandwich is good’’ he said. Yolanda also took a bite of the sandwich. ‘’ I think there is life here in the Black Hole. Those horrifying sounds were living creatures’’ she said. After they finished eating, they cleaned the kitchen, rooms and workstation. ‘’ I have never cleaned my room before in my lifetime’’ Yolanda said. ‘’Well, there is a first time for everything’’ he said.
As they were teasing each other and enjoying themselves, they felt the spacecraft trembling. ‘’ Did you hear that?’’ he said. ‘’I think so’’ she replied. They stood still, looking around terrified. The large stone above and in front of them kept moving. They looked at each other with confusion all over their faces. They hear strange sounds from the other side of the stones. They sound like a tractor truck when it’s going on reverse or a clock alarm sound but louder. They saw lights from the little holes in the stones.
‘’ I think they are removing the stones’’ he said. ‘’ Who is removing the stones, Charles’’ she screamed. ‘’ I don’t know’’ he replied. ‘’I’m scared’’ she said. They were at the workstation; Yolanda sat on Charles’s lap and leaned on him. Yolanda could hear Charles’s heart beating faster and faster. The stones were removed. The lights were brighter pointing at them and, covered their eyes and they couldn’t see clearly.
‘’State your business’’ a huge automated sound said. Charles pressed on the microphone and loudspeaker button. ‘’ We are from Planet Earth, we here because the Dark Matter has disappeared from our planet. We wouldlike it to be available on our planet’’ he said. There was silence for few seconds, Yolanda and Charles heard what Charles just said being replayed by the machines. They flew towards the spacecraft, Yolanda looked closer. They were round, same size as a gym ball, black and some were gold, they were drones. They flew closer and attached themselves to the spacecraft and stuck to it. They pulled out the spacecraft and the other drones attached themselves at the back of the spacecraft lifting it up. The gold drones had ‘’Quake Drone’’ printed on it and the black drones had ‘’Clump Drone’’ printed on it. They lifted the spacecraft and flew away with them. ‘’Where are they taking us’’ Yolanda said. ‘’ We are taking you to our new god of the Super Dark Force, Xakes’’ The drones said.
There was confusion in both Yolanda and Charles’s eyes. ‘’Don’t worry, the only thing that is keeping us alive right now is the spacecraft. We are not in danger’’ Yolanda said. ‘’ I hope you are right’’ he said. The drones took them inside a huge cave. Inside the cave were hundreds of 70cm flat screen TV on the wall, showing every development in every planet, galaxy and universes. In front of every flat screen TV was a drone watching it. ‘’This looks like a CCTV control room of the milky’’ she said. ‘’Astonishing’’ he said. The drones took the spacecraft to a large dark and quiet, dropped it to the ground and they left. The cave trembled for a few seconds. A huge large screen appeared. It was bigger than a cinema screen. In the middle of the screen, there was a red horizontal moving from left to right like a heart monitor.
‘’You are the radicals, that tried to overthrow my kingdom of the Super Dark Force before it began’’ the voice from the screen said. Yolanda pressed the loudspeaker button. ‘’We came here to save our species in planet earth’’ she said. ‘’ I don’t care what you have to say about your little planet. I will give you credit though, for entering the Black hole without being destroyed’’ the voice shouted. ‘’Who are you?’’ Yolanda asked. ‘’I am Xakes, the true god of the Super Dark Force. We have joined forces with the gods of the Andromeda galaxy, Black Hole and the Dark energy’’ Xakes said. Yolanda and Charles looked at each other and looked back at the screen. ‘’ Alright’’ she said. ‘’Merging with these galaxies is nearly 80% complete and the Super Dark Force kingdom will be formed. The Milky Way will be all mine and an advanced version of every species will be created. Everyone will worship Xakes and bow down to me’’ he said.
‘’Where is the Dark Matter and what have you done to it?’’ Yolanda asked. Xakes laughed out loud. ‘’You mean Xotron? He and his goddess, Mother Nature are in prison in the Island of Oblivion. They will spend the rest of their eternity in the
re’’ Xakes said. ‘’ What are you going to do with us?’’ she asked. ‘’ Join us, you can be of use to me in exploring the alternate universes and unknown worlds’’Xakes said. Charles looks at Yolanda and shook his head with disapproval. Yolanda ignored Charles’s advice.
‘’ Spare our people and planet earth. Only then we can work with you’’ she said. ‘’Fair enough, what was that weapon, you used inside the Black Hole? Although It was very effective, it destroyed a lot of our systems but we recovered within seconds’’ Xakes said. ‘’ It was a nuclear bomb, it is effective as gumma rays but it spreads to thousands of kilometres’’ she said. ‘’ I am impressed’’ Xakes said. Charles grabbed Yolanda’s hand. ‘’You can’t do this’’ he said. ‘’ What choice do we have. Let’s work with him and our planet will be spared’’ she said. Charles shook his head and went back to his seat. ‘’ I have a bad feeling about this’’ he said. ‘’Can I see the weapon’’ Xakes said. ‘’ Of course you can’’ she replied. Yolanda rushed to the back at the artillery room. She took the North Korea Nuclear bomb and placed it next to the exit door. She wrote the codes, instructions on the piece of paper and pasted them on the bomb. She released the nuclear bomb outside the spacecraft to the ground and closed the door. She rushed back to the workstation and pressed the loudspeaker button. ‘’ What do you think’’ Yolanda asked. Charles looked down with defeat in his eyes, and shook his head.
‘’Now take them to prison’’ Xakes said. ‘’No! You promised’’ she shouted. ‘’Take them now, I will use this bomb to destroy your dearest planet earth’’ Xakes said. ‘’No’’ She screamed. The drones picked up the spacecraft and left the cave. Xakes laughed out loud. The drones threw the spacecraft into a huge dam. The water was spinning and also the spacecraft was spinning in the centre of the dam going down and deeper. Yolanda cried uncontrollable and thinking about what she has done. The spacecraft kept spinning deeper and deeper into this huge shallow, never ending downward spiral.
ISLAND OF OBLIVION
The spacecraft was ejected into the island of Oblivion. The spacecraft crashed into the beach sand and rolled 15 times until it stopped. The seatbelts have snapped. Yolanda and Charles are lying on the floor unconscious. The spacecraft is 85% damaged and nuclear engines have been wrecked. Only the solar engines are working. Emergency alarm rings, smoke comes of the engine and moves inside the spacecraft. A sprinkle of water comes down from the ceiling of the spacecraft. Charles coughs, wakes up feeling a lot of pain all over his body.
He sees Yolanda lying unconsciously on the floor. She had blood on her forehead. ‘’Yolanda, wake up’’ he shouted. Yolanda coughed and opened his eyes. ‘’Charles... where are we?’’ she asked. Charles took the ‘’Oxygenex’’ mask and placed it on her face. ‘’It’s ok, just breathe’’ Charles said. He went to his bedroom, took the pillow and rushed back to the workstation. He gently lifted Yolanda’s head then placed a pillow under her head. Yolanda looked at Charles, she grins a little bit but felt pain afterwards. Charles took the fire extinguisher; he put out the fire in the engine room and the workstation. He went to the 1st aid room, picked up the 1st aid kit and rushed back to the workstation.
He cleaned Yolanda’s face and head wound. He stitched her wound. Yolanda looked at Charles as he was busy stitching her head wound. ‘’Charles’’ she said. Charles stopped what he was doing and looked at Yolanda. ‘’Are you alright? Is it painful?’’ he asked. Yolanda smiled, touched Charles’s face and stroked the left side of his face. ‘’I feel safe around you’’ she said. ‘’I appreciate that’’ he replied. He continued with the stitches and finished.
‘’I wonder where are?’’ Yolanda said. Charles looked at the windshield. ‘’It looks like we have crashed into the tropical trees’’ he said. ‘’Do you think we should go out?’’ she asked. ‘’ Hell no, we will die in an instant’’ he replied. Charles helps Yolanda from the floor and lifts her up and puts her on the chair. ‘’ What did you think of the Xakes character?’’ Charles asked. ‘’ Did that really happen? It felt like a dream’’ she said. Yolanda panicked and stood up. ‘’Charles we need to get out of here. The nuclear bomb will destroy planet earth’’ She shouted. ‘’Get a grip, right now it’s beyond our control’’ he said. They hugged, Yolanda held Charles firmly. ‘’I messed up again, I gave this stupid god Xakes a weapon to blow up our planet’’ she said. She broke down in tears. Charles consoled, stroked her back and she wiped her tears. ‘’ I think we need to get out of this spacecraft and I think there is life here’’ Yolanda said.
‘’I agree but we need to put on the ‘’Oxygen’’ mask, just as a precaution. ‘’ Charles said. They both put on their masks and Charles opened the spacecraft door and Yolanda held his hand firmly. They walked in the middle of the tropical trees and they heard a very familiar sound. ‘’ I think that’s the sound of the ocean’’ Yolanda said. ‘’ I agree’’ he said. They start running to the direction of the ocean sounds. ‘’ The weather is mild and cloudy. They finally reach the beach; they see huge sized birds flying in the sky. ‘’I think it’s safe to take off our masks now’’ Yolanda said. Charles looked reluctant to take them off. ‘’Alright, you go first’’ Charles said. Yolanda took off her mask and she screamed. Her eyes turn red and hold neck with both her hands. ‘’I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe’’ she shouted. She falls down and rolls on the sand. Suddenly she stopped and starred at Charles without moving. Charles screamed. ‘’Yolanda wake up’’ he shouted. As Charles was crying Yolanda woke up and laughing at Charles. ‘’ I got you’’ she said. ‘’Never do that again’’ Charles said. Yolanda stood up, took off his mask and kissed Charles passionately. They looked round the beach with excitement. ‘’ Look, the color of the sea is black’’ she said. ‘’Wow’’ he said. Charles takes off his clothes, runs to the sea and dives in. ‘’Water is great, come and join me’’ he said. Yolanda took off her clothes reluctantly and walked to the sea. She dunked her feet to the sea and pulled back. ‘’The water is cold’’ she said. Charles laughed and dived back to the water and Yolanda joined in. 30 minutes later they got out of the beach, feeling invigorated. ‘’This place is wonderful but the humidity is very high’’ Yolanda said.
A lightning struck in front of them and they heard sound of thunder. Yolanda jumps and holds Charles’s arm. 2 large screens appear next to each other. The screens were the same size and same horizontal lines as Xakes’s screen. The screen with gold lines in the middle started moving from left to right like a heart monitor. ‘’You must be one of Xakes’s special enemies to be locked up in the island of oblivion’’ The voice from the screen said. Yolanda and Charles looked at each other with disbelief. ‘’Who are you?’’ she asked. ‘’My name is Xotron, the god of the Dark Matter and next to me is Mother Nature, the goddess of the solar system’’ Xotron said. ‘’Wow’’ Yolanda and Charles said at the same time. ‘’My name is Yolanda and this is Charles, we are from planet earth’’ she said. ‘’I see’’ Xotron said. ‘’No human being has ever reached these worlds before, how did you come here?’’ Mother Nature asked. ‘’Let’s just say luck played its part’’ Charles replied. ‘’We had natural disasters on planet earth and we realized earth will leave the solar system. We also noticed Dark Matter and the Dark Energy have disappeared. We stormed into the Black Hole to reverse these disasters. We came across Xakes and he tricked us and the rest is history’’ Yolanda said.
‘’Mother Nature told me everything that happened on the solar system. Xakes tricked us too, contained us and his soldiers threw us her’’ Xotron said. ‘’We would love to help you save you planet and the solar system. As you can see our energies, powers have been drained and taken away from us’’ Mother Nature said. ‘’ If the Super Dark Force is fully formed, my powers will be gone forever’’ Xotron said. ‘’Do you have any ideas?’’ Yolanda asked. ‘’ Since you have arrived here, I have few ideas but I would like you to enjoy this island for a day or two’’ Xot
ron said. ‘’It’s great place, you will enjoy it and after a day or two, we will discuss a plan of action’’ Mother Nature said.
‘’No problem, can you tell us more about this island?’’ Yolanda asked. ‘’ The island is not real, it is an illusion and there is no time here. You can live for thousands of years without getting old and have many grand kids and see them grow’’ Xotron said. You also have a choice to stay here forever and live happily ever after or we fightXakes and defend the universe. I also want to avenge my two sons, Xeef, the god of Dark energy and Gabriel, the god of the Andromeda galaxy. Xakes killed them for their powers’’ Xotron said. Yolanda and Charles looked at each and walked away. ‘’ We will think about it’’ Yolanda said. The lightning struck again and the screens disappeared. A moment later they were playing on the beach and enjoying.
They swam, held each other’s hands and couldn’t get enough of each other. ‘’ Do you realize time has stopped’’ he said. ‘’ Yes, we can start our own civilization and have our kingdom’’ Yolanda said. It was getting dark and cold outside. ‘’ I think we need to get back to spacecraft, it’s getting cold in here’’ she said. On their way to the spacecraft, it started to rain and they ran faster to their shelter.
