The Mission (3)

(From now on the entire story will follow Marks POV)

"Analysis of surrounding area finished."

'What? How? We landed maybe 3 hours ago. They said it will take 3 days. What will happen from now on? Can we return now?'

At that moment I realised something. We have so much Space in the Rocket but where is the fuel and how do we start. So I run to the window and see that the rocket is sideways.

I can't see if there is an engine attached to the rocket.

'Shit, I need to go outside to see if there is an engine.' The moment I look at the door to run at it I hear Jack shouting: " You *beeep* *beeeep* *beeeeeeeeeep* tell us what is going on right now or I'm going to *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*, you understand!"

After Jack finished cursing with things I never knew existed and things that I thought could be put in such context a voice of a scientist started talking over the speaker in the board computer: " Tell me do you fell anything weird since coming to the planet?"

"WHY ARE YOU ASKING THAT?! WE ARRIVED HERE 3 HOURS AGO. NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT SHIT LIKE THIS!! BRING US BACK RIGHT KNOW!" Jack screamed as if he has some kind of brain damage.

"We are sorry to tell you this, we never wanted to bring you back. The machines didn't just scan and analyse your surroundings. It also scanned you and send us all of your data. We found an unknown energy on this planet and wanted to test it effects on a human body. You may carry some kind of virus or illness know that you're on this planet so we can't return you to society." The scientist said all of this in an eerie calm voice.

Total silence. You could hear nothing as if time stood till. I slowly ask: "W-what i-is the-e real rea-reason?"

The atmosphere turned darker all of the sudden as the scientist said in an annoyed tone: "Guess we you wastes of space have a little more intelligence than we thought. All that illness is just something we made up. We chose you to go on that mission because no one would miss you and we needed someone to do it. After I'm finished talking the board computer will also shut down. Bye bye, trash."

"Board computer shutting down"

Silence prevails again. I feel something again it feels like someone or something is watching us and is waiting for something. Before I can say something, Jack begins running to the door, opens it and jumps out.

He shouts:"Where is the fucking engine!!"

I see something move inside the forest it looks like a wolf only that it is dark green and has a big red horn on its forehead.

I run to the door and want to call Jack back but when I reach the door and look at the wolf I see that it looks at Jack like he is just a piece of meat ready to be devoured.

I open my mouth but my words are stuck in my throat because a flame shoots out of the hind legs of the wolf. It reaches a speed of easily 100km per hour. I am baffled as this should be almost impossible to achieve this speed in a single burst. Everything that comes within a meter around gets somehow deflected.

After one or two seconds Jack is in a meter radius of the wolf, another impossible thing happens. Jack gets pierced by some kind of invisible spike. It pierces a big hole right in his heart. All of the sudden a strong wind kicks the dust in the surroundings up. Thinking that Jack is dead I close the door so that this monster of a wolf can't get in. As I turn around, a bright flash of lights erupts at the place where Jack and the wolf should be.

I eagerly look at the scene until the dust is gone and all that remains of everything that happened is half of an entirely charred leg and big charred spot on the earth.
