CHAPTER 7

"This is the land of fear and death, nobody had returned from the savage lands ever and neither will, the ancient books say" said Omega. "Hell, those are myths, we humans doesn't fall on knees in front of myths" replied Axel. "Hey kid, that ain't a myth. Humans are so primitive that they don't even know about the different worlds" said Quipz. "They may be right brother" said Fred to Axel. "Where have my superpowers gone, I am no more a super human" screamed Axel. "That means you've touched the Aztec stone. If a human touches it he or she will be transformed into a superhuman. The average lifespan of a superhuman is just 5 days Axel" replied Omega. "Is there any way to keep him alive Omega?" asked Madeleine. "As long as we are in the savage lands we can do nothing to save him" replied Omega. "There's a way" said Quipz. "What's that?" asked Fred. "That's the toughest task in the whole world and that is to go out of the savage lands" replied Quipz. "Hmmm..." grunted Axel in response. "It is all because of you Fred, you are the one who is responsible for this, and you shouldn't have used Quipz's gadget" shouted Madeleine.

"Stop fighting each other you earthlings" shouted Omega. "Instead of finding a way back to earth you guys are blaming each other" said Quipz. The crew members stopped fighting and asked Quipz about a way to escape from the savage lands. "Did you earthlings notice that star in the sky?" asked Omega. "I saw it now" replied Fred. Omega grinned and said "hey kid, where's that techno watch". Fred searched his pockets and took out Quipz's watch and gave it back to him and said "I'm really sorry". "This is such an awkward condition because we were here to destroy the whole humanity but now we are helping the humans" said Quipz in a silly way. "How can we get outta here?" asked Casey. "We've to follow that star until we reach the well of hope" replied Omega". "That's so simple" replied Fred. "Fred will always be a Fred. Are you acting or are you actually like this?" asked Omega while laughing. Instead of a reply Fred shook his head and went near Axel. "I've only 4 days left, we need to make everything fast" said Axel. "It is a tough task as we've to cross the realm of death" replied Omega. "What is this realm of death?" asked Phil. "The alien book Hewbo says only the bravest of bravest would survive in the realm of death. In the realm of death our attention would be drawn by many forces. Our ancestors had said that the spirits of the dead lives in the savage lands. In simpler words this place is haunted" replied Omega. "You missed out a few things Omega" said Quipz. "Then tell me those missed out things" replied Omega. "Hey, earthlings we'll find the spirits of all humans and animals who were killed unnaturally and they'll surely try to hunt as down" replied Quipz. "That means my life is a hole now" said Axel. "I'm starting to believe that there isn't anything you can do to fix it, the holes in your life maybe permanent but you have to grow around them, like plant roots around concrete, you mould yourself through the gaps" replied Madeleine. "That's pretty motivational" replied Axel.

"Stop crying earthlings we have to have a plan of action" said Omega. "We don't know anything Omega, please elaborate the plan of action. "We've 3 phases namely beginner, amateur and extreme. In the first phase we have to cross a dense forest filled with deadly animals and insects. Coming to the second phase we have to go through a desert where there is no water and food. We can find thorny bushes and venomous rattle snakes there, always be careful in the desert. Talking about the last phase I'm out of words. We have to survive in extreme cold and strong cold winds will be blowing there. As I've said earlier the spirits will be present in that phase. That place is known as Savage Pole and it is as cold as it is in Antartica in earth. The realm of death is at the end of Savage Pole and it's the toughest of all to cross. Lava flows through there and if we do anything wrong the lava will flow over the ice and the whole place will be flooded and we all will die. So be vigilant and that's all" said Omega.

"Let's pledge our lives for the sake of ourselves" said Phil. "We've to get back to earth in any way" said Axel. "What will we do if we cross the realm of death?" asked Fred. "As soon as we cross the realm of death a safe path will appear which leads to the tower of the universe. From there we can get teleported to the place we wish". Replied Quipz.

"The adventure begins, lets rock" said Phil. They started moving and everybody had a strong belief in their minds that they would be back to earth. "Humanity would come to an end if we fall" said Fred. "Always keep it in mind" said Madeleine.

On that day they engaged in a mission to save themselves and the whole humanity. But they were ignorant of the danger up ahead....
