A New World

Tobi woke up from his stomach growling loudly, about six hours later. He looked around, despairing that he was in the same nightmare. However he noticed the drone, was flat on the ground, and silent.

"Sarah!" He said, as he approached the drone.

It whirred slowly then hovered at a lower altitude. "Sorry, I'm on power saving mode, it seems, my battery is low."

He tapped his forehead, as he realized he hadn't charged his drone, since he first got it. He held her in his hands and sent a light surge, filling up her tank. Then let her go, as she hovered back to life.

"Thank you Tobi." She said happily, then caught up on what happened while they were both asleep. "While you slept, we've gone a little less than half a light year closer to our destination."

Tobi smirked, walking up to the window, as he stared out into the beauty of space. "Don't worry we'll get there soon. I finally have a grasp on this." He thrust his hands out once more and gathered energy as he went into third gear. "Kinect: Light Jump."

It drained an exhausting amount of energy out of him, he didn't have, yet he held on, as they reappeared closer to their destination. He dropped to his knees as Sarah chimed up. "Now, we are 45 light years away. Take a break, I think the next one will do it."

Tobi, shook his head, holding back vomit, held up at the back of his throat. "No, I don't think I'll last much longer... I can do this." He said, as he got back up.

She looked at him worriedly as he struggled to stay standing. "Tobi, you don't know what dangers may lie on that planet. It's best if you save your strength and-"

"I'm tired of being stuck alone, in space. I want to breath fresh air." He looked at her with determination. "It'll be okay, don't worry." He said, then turned back to his task and forced his hands to stop shaking.

"Kinect: Light Jump." He whispered, as immense headaches along with physical pressure on his body, nearly overwhelmed him.

Cracks appeared once more, around the dome, teleporting him, into the planet's statosphere. The dome, immediately, began to dip, pulled by the planet's gravity.

He struggled to maintain descent, but within seconds, lost consciousness from exhaustion. He came to, moments later, as Sarah purposely kept crashing into him, blaring warnings.

He looked out, through the window in complete shock. Rising up, from the rich rainforest, was an incredibly large python, lunging over 50 feet, to swallow him whole.

He screamed, as his fear of snakes, froze him in place along with the lack of energy. Inches away from reaching him, to his surprise, it was yanked, by a monstrously oversized gorilla. Using it as a weapon to wrap around a similar-sized carnivorous lizard, before punching it, as it clawed back.

His dome continued to crash down, like a meteorite into the jungle, as the monsters whipped up a storm of carnage, fighting each other to the death. The dome was nearly destroyed, leaving a small shell, where Tobi layed over unconscious, as Sarah zipped around, taking in the new terrain. Then rushed back to nudge him awake.

He woke, feeling dizzy and nauseous, unable to make out his bearings. However when he came to, his eyes, grew wide.

All around his crash site, were humongous trees and plants three times the norm back on Earth. He could feel the gravity, was a little bit stronger than on Earth, but not too noticeable. Insects and animals, scurrying around, terrified by the crash, seemed weird distant relatives of ones he had seen before.

He hopped out of the shell and struggled to stand up, as it had been days since he had last been on land. His stomach growled once more, ripping a depressing pain through him.

"Sarah, is there anything edible here?" He asked, weakly.

She scanned her surroundings and was about to speak up, however coming out of the thick leaves and bushes, surrounding them, were exotically mutated velociraptors. Hundreds of them, with each being about the size of a large wolf.

They eyed him, wondering how good he would taste, as he looked at them dumbfounded. 'Dinosaurs are extinct.' That's all he knew, so why are there so many here? He asked himself, as sweat rolled down his cheek.

It was unbearably hot, but he wasn't sweating from the heat. "Run!" Sarah yelled, finally breaking the silence as the raptors charged forward, leaping over each other to get the first bite.

Tobi flew up high, letting the horde crash into each other, then dove into the thick lush forest as fast he could. Flying was incrediblly difficult with the lack of strength, but fear overwhelmed all other dilemmas.

He looked back hearing screeches and roars, as a raptor sailed past him nearly missing him, as he maneuvered through the branches to escape his assailants.

He raised a mudwall as high as he could, to block them off. However in seconds they broke through making a small hole as they poured through. Shocking him as he wondered about the strength of these animals.

They were feathered with beady eyes, hungry for a meal and enjoying the hunt. As one of them leaped off another to momentarily fly towards him.

He raised his arm blasting it point-blank with a small ball of fire, as the next took him by surprise. He frosted his arm in a gauntlet of ice, while it struck at him with large sharp claws, completely ripping through his makeshift armor.

He yelled as he kicked it towards the ground, before it got trampled by the rest of its herd. Then he flew as fast as he could trying to escape them.

'They can use iko!' The terrifying thought coursed through him, as he realized the planet he had landed on, may not be as safe as he thought it was.

He wanted to fly up high and get out of there, however, not knowing how long he could last, he was afraid of suddenly dropping out of the sky. Unfortunately the skies wasn't even a safe option for him, as another raptor seemingly descended down on him, chomping down on his leg before he could, dodge in time.

With one palm facing it, he blasted it apart, then pried off it's jaws off of his leg and frosted it over. His stomach growled as he began to feel dizzy, but he knew the horde would not let up, since they could still smell him and the fresh blood, seeping from his wounds.

There were more screeches as they got closer, with several more leaping at him, while he tried to lose them in the forest. Suddenly a large dark animal leaped out of nowhere, catching the few that got a head, nearly reaching him. He turned around seeing a panther, the size of a tank, with a few of the raptors in his mouth swallowing them whole.

Intensifying his fears even more. It looked at him, with predatory eyes, as the rest of the horde, rushed the panther and ripped it apart without hesitation, while the rest continued after him.

'This is messed up. What do I do?' He thought to himself, before Sarah's voice caught his attention.

She had been flying up high overlooking the situation and trying to find a way out for him. "Tobi! Over here!" He glanced for a moment looking up at where she was. "There is a clearing up ahead, line them up and wipe them all out."

He clenched his teeth, knowing that was his best option. However a problem still persisted keeping him fearful. "I can only manage one more shot, it's taking all I have just to stay afloat!." He paused as a raptor whipped past him once again.

"Teleport." She suggested, but he shook his head.

"I can't!" He knew it would knock him out and on this planet, that was a death sentence.

He turned and continued towards the direction of the clearing she suggested. Then dropped down as he shifted in second gear for a moment. Immediately, he felt nauseous, unable to stand on his feet, but nevertheless cupped his hands together and created a brewing ball of fire and electricity.

Rings of fire crushed the ground, creating a small crater around him. His body screamed, as he strained it even further, pulling together any energy he had left. Then released the beam, as the horde of raptors, broke through the trees.

Erasing the entire landscape along with them. The surrounding trees, blew back from the winds of the blast, then caved back in once everything settled.

Tobi staggered back, as his vision began to blur. He sat down against a tree to support himself. Moments later he heard low growls, as the ones he could not kill, began to walk slowly towards him, out of the remaining trees and forest.

He looked at them, accepting defeat. "This is as far as I go." He let out a light chuckle. "I wasn't supposed to survive anyway... Osei, I guess I will be joining you soon." He concluded, resigning himself to his fate.

He closed his eyes, as the raptors closed in, about to pounce. Then suddenly he heard the sounds of trees breaking, screeches and bones snapping. Yet he felt no pain, so he opened his eyes, shocked to witness bloodspots and torn limbs of all of his predators around him. Along with the majority of the trees, surrounding them broken apart, crushed and destroyed.

He felt immense energy up above him, forcing him to look up. There floating majestically was a woman, around his age, with glowing silver hair and red eyes. She had one hand out, as the air around him, seemed to crack ready to break apart.

He tried to speak but his stomach growled loudly, embarrassing him. She smiled, as she powered down. Her hair remained grey as she descended in front of him, then spoke. "You're lucky I got here on time... Sounds like you're starving, aren't you?"
