So tell me what you think?

Journey to the ?X?
By Eric Widder



It was the day of a new era, a day in which mankind would finally take the first step outside of the solar system. Well, not just man kind. By the year of 2213 AD, many new planets had been discovered. From Mercury all the way to Pluto new species and races of aliens have been found. All wars in the solar system had been put to and end and there was peace throughout space. But one man, Eric Widder, had located a planet far from Earth, past Pluto, and out of our own solar system. I am that man. During the year of 2213, I established a space mission to seek out the planet and explore it. I have also established a crew to come with me. The crew I have chosen, which are the best at what they do, are as follows: Emanuel Mello, the pilot of the ship; Dr. Mitchell, the medic; Caleb Berryhill, the craftsman; and Nate Heishmen, the weapons specialist. Finally, at the start of the year 2215, after 2 years of preparing and training, we get ready for launch.

?Coordinates set?? I ask.
?Coordinates set to 69.3, rounded off to the nearest decimal point.? Emanuel replies.
?Nitrous Oxide in place?? I inquire.
Nate replies, ?NOS is in place sir.?
I then demand, ?Check the settings Emanuel, and flip the busters, we?re ready to go. Hold on everybody!?

Emanuel and Kevin flip a series of switches on the ceilings and walls of the main flight deck. The lights flash from a bright blue to an emerald green and then back to a flash of white. Everybody lays back in their seats ready for take off as they boldly grip the arms of their chairs.

?Here we go!!!? Caleb yells out.

Emanuel lifts a cap off of his joy stick to reveal a neon green button. He slams his thumb onto the button. The space ship, Kaiyu takes off right away with out delay, it burns and burns as it finally hits air. You can see the steam fly pass the wind shield as new technology goes to use. And within 30 seconds, outer space is reached.

?I never thought I?d live to see this, thanks for bringing me along Eric.? Nate says.
?Yah, it?s great isn?t it?? I reply. ?Hey look, its Mars!
Caleb then announces, ?Been there, seen it, done it.?
?Shut up and let us enjoy it, Caleb! You don?t talk much, but when you do it?s either sarcastic or funny as hell. You?re being sarcastic, man.?
?Hehe?Yeah?? Emanuel lazily agrees.

Yes, I forgot to mention, Caleb is known throughout the solar system for his remarkable craftsmanship. He is also the most successful out of the whole crew. He was the one who signed the treaty with the Martians for trading goods between Earth and Mars. These goods were specially made and crafted by Caleb. In 2123, the people of Earth landed on Mars, but the Martians weren?t too friendly. Earth didn?t end up uniting with them until the year of 2201. But Caleb ended all of that with his highly recommendable inventions.
Emanuel, the pilot, once tried to invent flying skateboards. He wasn?t very good at the skating tricks himself, but he wasn?t a bad engineer and pilot. He decided to join the air force and learn to fly real machines.

All of a sudden Emanuel speaks out, ?Captain! Oh man? I hate this captain crap. Eric! The Kothilis station is just ahead.?
?Good, prepare for docking bay 76 and get ready to fill her up with all the Mercury you can find, we are going to need it for the Hyper Drive.? I say.

The Space ship, Kaiyu docks at the bay and orders the Merillians ( Species of Jupiter ) to load the ship with all the Hyper Drive juice they?ve got. They start to transfer the Mercury from the space station to the ship and in no time, the ship is full. Then, unexpected trouble arises.

?Hello? Docking bay 76?? The Merillian on the speaker phone asks.
I reply, ?Yes, that?s us, what seems to be the problem??
?We have gotten a report that there are space pirates about in quadrant 901, can you help the Plutons out??
?901?!? I say. ? Well that?s nearly off the charts! That?s Pluto we?re talking about. What the hell, we?ll do it for you guys. Just as long as you support us with the proper fighter ships.?

In no time the fighters are loaded onto the main inbound hanger and stored below. Emanuel operates the main hyper drive engine and the lights flicker once again. After the ship relieves itself of the docking bay, Caleb sets the coordinates and we are launched into hyper speed. As we look out of the windows we see lines instead of stars because we are going at a tremendous speed. After 10 minutes of intense and silent stillness, Pluto is in sight. We are happy to have reached the outer limits of space, but it seems as though some one else isn?t happy to see us.

?Don?t get up and stretch just yet guys, we have to stay on the lookout for those space pirates!? I demand.
?I don?t see anything though, maybe they?? Nates voice is cut off by a strange fighter that hovers over the haul of the ship at a blazing speed.
?Whoa!? Caleb exclaims.
?No need for panic guys, get to your positions fast! Emanuel, I?m gonna need you in here to maneuver the ship away from fire. Got it?? I command.
?Hehe? You got it!? Emanuel agrees.

Nate, Caleb, Kevin, and I head down to the station where four ships await us. All of us climb a bright yellow ladder to get access to the cockpit. We flip a switch that releases an air socket, the wind shield opens to reveal a variety of command switches and a very comfortable leather seat.

?Wow, those Merillians sure know how to make a piece of equipment don?t they?? I ask.
Then Caleb says bluntly, ?Ha! I was making these things in the 1st grade!?

We all turn the engine on and flip the busters to maximum. Just like always we turn on a series of switches and the ships fly out at lightning speed. As we exit the hanger there are six enemy fighters ahead in open range. We thrust forward at a mild speed in attack position ready to get the job done nice and fast.

?All wings report in.? I say
?Berry Wing standing by.? Caleb says.
?Mitchell Wing standing by.? Kevin says.
?Nate Wing standing by.? Nate says.
I look at the fighters coming toward us, and prepare the crew, ?Alright guys, I count six enemy fighters, shouldn?t be that difficult so you should be able to take ?em out fast. Lets Go!?

All of us fly towards the six ships and punch the thrusters with our hands on our joy sticks. We get ready to fire. I grip my joy stick so firmly as if my hands were glued to the object. I fire my blasters at the leading enemy but he just barely dodges it. Two more ememies fly past me trailing the leading fighter ship. Caleb and I press down on the buttons on our joy sticks, bright green lasers are shown emerging from the ship. They zoom towards the two enemy fighters and they are taken out. Their shrapnel goes flying everywhere as we pass through their flames.

?Yes we got them!? Caleb shouts out in joy.
?Don?t get too excited, there are still four left.? Kevin replies.

The other four fighters trail behind Nate and begin to fire upon him.
Nate cries out in help, ?I can?t shake them! Help me out here!?

But we are too far away and we cannot make it in time. Just as the enemy fighter releases his missile, which is locked on to Nate, a huge blue blast surrounded by a golden aura surrounds the leading fighter and engulfs him in flames. As I look to see where it came from, I see the space ship, Kaiyu hovering above us with Emanuel smiling through the window.

?Yes! Nice going Emanual!? I say.
?Look! The enemies are scrambling off!? Kevin says in awe.

As the fighters disperse into the depths of space, we dock back into the space craft to celebrate an easy victory. But it looks as if we aren?t the only ones who caused some damage, it looks like the main hyper drive engine has been damaged.

?Uh oh. Whats this?? I ask.
?Looks like the Hyper Drive engine is leaking fuel.? Kevin says.
?You think?? Emanual says sarcastically, as he smacks Kevin in the back of the head.
?Well, no sense in fighting about it, we have to do something fast!? Nate says.
?Alright, whose gonna go fix it?? I ask desperately.

Everyone points to Kevin.

?Aww, cant we draw straws?? Kevin asks, for a sign of hope.

Everyones? faces grin mercifully.

?Alright, alright, alright!? Kevin finally agrees.

A couple minutes pass, and Kevin is ready to suit up. He goes to the 0 Gravity Center and slips on a high tech space outfit, with a jetpack on the back made by Caleb and Nate. Kevin then opens the hanger doors and jets out at a relatively slow speed to make sure he doesn?t drift away from the space craft. After hovering around the ship for awhile he spots a small but deep gash in the ships hull.

?This shouldn?t be that bad.? Kevin says. ?I?ll just patch it up with some ceramic tiles and it will be just fine.?

Kevin reattaches some specific wires to fix the hyper drive. He then places some high quality crazy space glue on the ceramic tiles and in no time the space craft is patched up and ready to go.

?Well that settles it.? Kevin says.

Kevin glances up into the black and empty space and sighs for relief, but as he?s looking up, he notices a piece of debris that is traveling at a tremendous speed towards him. Before he can say anything to us he is knocked out by the floating debris, and he shoots off the space craft down below. He is helpless and is now just a flying brick. After a few minutes he regains consiousness and realizes that he is falling towards Pluto?s atmosphere. Kevin quickly pulls a tag on his space suit and a gadget pops out. The gadget is a small ball that suddenly explodes into a huge titanium alloy sphere. The sturdy sphere surrounds and protects him as he falls through the burning atmosphere, up to 1000 miles per hour. After he makes it through the atmosphere we loose contact and we hear nothing but silence, therefore we cannot reach him.

?Oh my god.? I say
?Guys! Don?t panic!? Caleb says.
?Well, we have to go get him!? Nate says.
?Looks like he landed in the Morato sand dunes of Pluto.? Emanuel says.

Then a voice is heard coming from a vent in the walls.

?I?ll go.? The voice says.

We are all freaked out as we rush to see who it is. We open the vent.

?Oh man! It?s you! How?d you manage to get on?? I ask.

The man just happens to be Chris Crouger who sneaked into the ship and hid out for a sneak preview of Planet X.

?I sneaked on. Look guys, why don?t you go and continue your mission and I?ll take care of Kevin.? Chris intends.

?What do you mean?? Nate asks.

Chris takes a breath, ?I mean that you guys can just drop me off in a pod, Ill go save Kevin. While I?m doing all of that, you guys can go and check out Planet X. After your done with that, take some pictures for me at least and then come and save us.?

I look at him in amazement and say, ?Works for me. Good thing you came along. We?ll be counting on you!?

Within a matter of time, Chris is loaded on to the transport unit and is launched off for Pluto?s sand dunes. As Chris infiltrates Morato, the others wait anxiously to spot Planet X.

?I can?t take this anymore! I?m so sick and tired of this waiting!? Nate complains.
?Silence mortal!? Caleb yells impatiently.
I interupt, ?Will you just shut the? ?

My voice is cut off. Ahead of us is a bright greenish neon colored planet that sparkles wherever light is reflected onto it. This?. is Planet ?X?. The journey to the X is finally over and we can now relieve ourselves of this intense waiting. Everyone?s voices are silent, they don?t say a single word.

Emanuel thrusts the ship forward to anxiously land on the planet as he draws near. As we pass through the misty clouds we can see greenery of all sorts, there are various plants and wild life to see that have never been seen. Within no time, the ship lands softly on a plateau of soft, thick grass.

As we step out of the ship we hope to see signs of life. But nothing is in sight and it seems that we are the only ones here.

?What?s up with this?? Caleb disapointingley says.
?I don?t know, but we should still look around. Keep your guard up.? Emanual says.
?Hey, what?s that?? Nate asks pointing at a small tree stump on the ground.

We walk over to see what it is and there seems to be a scroll of some sort resting on the stump. I cautiously lift the scroll from its rightful place and read it to the others.

?Oh no, it?s in a different language!? I say.
?I know every language out there, and even if I don?t, then I can crack the code.? Nate says, approaching the stump in a confident mood.
?Ah, yes, huh?? That?s weird, it?s very much like the Merillian language but it?s still slightly different.? Nate says. ?Ok, this is what it is, it says?. ?Congratulations?.?

After some thinking, they explore the planet and discover many new life forms, elements, plant life, and much more. After a long day the take off and fly down to Pluto to rescue Kevin and Chris who seem to be fine.

What is this scroll they have found? Is it a prize of some sort that an ancient alien race has left the planet for someone else?s use? Many questions will be asked, but many will never be answered. But everything else must be left in the hands of the galaxy and all of its people.

As my crew sighs in relief from the finished expedition, the space craft is seen disappearing into the black night of space, as they make their journey back towards earth.

The End
