1 chapter 2:

Currently 20 percent engine fuel remaning. Oxygen level at 26 percent' it chimed.

Yeah, you don't need to tell me, he thought to himself. He could barely breath.

It was landing straight at the crust. No, if I land in the continental part, I might no survive, he thought. The only chance is to land on water. 'Initiate ejection. Redirect to crashlanding in oceanic part.' he declared.

This time, the machine decided to listen to him. 'Body of water detected. Prepare to land at sea with coordintares 26 latitude and 38 longitude' it directed.

Its surviving rate is probably greater than on land. Its surviving rate is probably greater than on land.

Surviving impact perhaps, when landing on water, but if not close to land it is unlikely to survive for too much longer. But, if it's an inhabited planet, he could alert them using his signaller and they might find him and give him shelter.

Unhabitated is a whole another story. Hopefully, everything goes according to plan, he thought.

It suddenly took a straight right that almost gave him a heart attack.

He can brealy breath, if he is stuck underwater he won't be able to breath inside the pod. He took the floatation device and strapped it on him. Then he blew on the hole until it was puffy and the light on the side flickered. Good thing he brought it with him just in case.

'good, here goes nothing' he spit and pressed the eject button.

Please, work! he begged and pleaded as the seat pushed him and sent him flying through the air. the air wasn't too acidic or too basic. It was neutral to his luck.

So, that means this planet is abundant in oxygen and water. Would've made it a suitable planet for them to find.

Now he is at the very top.

While falling, you may face blacking out and loss of air and apetite(as if you're going to eat when you're falling from the sky!) and you won't be able to hear anything till you land. In fact, if you don't keep it closed, you might burst your eardrums.

'goddamn it,I hope my head won't pop off.' he prayed as he covered his ears with his hands and closed his eyes shut.

There is a chance you encounter dryness of eyes and they may accidentally pop off.

That is if you are on a very versatile planet.

The pod landed straight in the water and was to be seen for a split second before it disapperared into the water. Welp, there it is.

Goodbye, escape pod. He closed his eyes again. His head was starting to feel tight and he felt like throwing up. No,worse than that. He felt like his organs would come off.

'ahhhh!' he screamed and closed his eyes.

'I don't want to die!' he screamed on top of his lungs.

A loud splash and he struggled to stay afloat on the water. He accidentally gulped some of the water and spat it out in digust when he realized it was actually salty.

'what the hell! Which planet has salty water? Not even ice but SALTY water!' he complained.

Time passed and no one came. He couldn't scream as he was too exhausted. The star was shining right at his neck, leaving him hot and thristy. He struggled to breath undrewater.

If there was an underwater cxreature it might eat him any second now. He looked out for a kraken, or a cerbrerus, thinking he might be able to identify the creature, as he didn't memorize the coordinates well enough.

Tired, hungry, hot and thristy he called for help. His throat was pareched and he wished for some water.

'anyone here?' he tried for a last time. But unfortunately, no one ansered his call.

He tried swimming to a nearby land, but he was too tired and all he saw for miles was water.

'I can't…anymore.' He panted. He noticed that the floater's digit of air is slowly and gradually decreasing.

This is my last chance, he thought and pulled out his signaller. Hopefully, there is someone who can sense it. He pulled the strap and the light blasted to the sky whistling through the air.

He felt hot and dizzy. 'I want..home.' he mumbled as he wearily closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, there was chaos going on in the markets of Arxia.

'thief! Catch the thief!' the old man yelled to the others in the crowd.

The chase went on for a long time until they became exhausted and decide to give up.

'you can run, but you can't hide you thief! I'll catch you again!' the merchant panted and cursed.

The monkey perched on a tree until the commotion ended and hopped happily to its equally naughty master.

'what did you do this time peanut?' the young girl looked at the hat that the monkey put on her.

'did you steal this?' she asked stern at her animal companion.

The monkey shyly nodded sidewards.

'are you sure?' she asked with an even stricter tone.

It scratched its head and looked at her pitifully.

'this pitiful look isn't going to make me forgive you! Bad monkey! What did I tell you about stealing?' she asked him quietly yet aggresively.

They had to keep their voices down as the guards will catch trhem if they knew that this girl was in fact the royal princess and was just roaming the streets looking for trouble.

'go return it!' she handed the hat to him.

It screeched and climbed back onh the tree.

Her face couldn't been seen as she was covering it completely with a black cloak. the guards nearby became more suspicious and started to approach her.

'and quickly! We have to go!' she ordered.

'hey you there!' he called to her.

She suddenly began to run without turning back.

The guard sensed something was wrong and began running after the stranger.

'hey! Stop!' he ran with her.

But she was faster so she outran him quickly and hid in a secluded alleyway.

The monkey followed her quietly through the trees and finally perched back on her shoulders.

'there you are! Did you give the hat back to the owner?' she asked.

'ooh ooh!' he jumped on her and pointed towards the bright, red light with an S.O.S written on it.

The people were too distracted with the sound that they forgot about the troublesome princess.

'what in the name of lord is that?' she asked astonished.
