The Fall and Surprises

Mercenary's POV

Once Billy fell off we all ran to the edge. "Billy! Billy! Fuck! What did I say?" I tell the rest of them. They all look at me with sadness.

"Did we just kill that dude?" Zack asks ignoring what I said. "What do we do?" asks Kim I look at her in anger of what just happened, "I tell you what we're going to fuc-" Before I could finish we all hear Billy begin to yell.

I run to the edge to hear him say, "Hey guys I'm okay! You guys gotta see this!" Without hesitation I look at all of them and jump off.

"Hey Mercy wait!" Jason yells out in worry, but it was too late. Suddenly I was in water, I swam up to see Billy. He smiles at me and then I hit him, "Ow what was that for!" He yells out in pain and I laugh.

"For scaring me you ass," I tell him and then it's just us in silence swimming to stay up in the water. Then we see two figures fall into the water. When I take a closer look it's Jason and Zack.

Jason swims up to me and says," You scared me don't do that." I laugh and shake my head and then we hear a huge splash. We all turn to see Kim and Trini.

We all swam closer to each other, "Welcome to the club!" Zack yells out and continues, "Wassup crazy girl. We gotta do this again." I look at Trini to see her laughing and facing the hole we just jumped though.

"Hey guy! Guys, check out how we glow." Jason says looking into the water. We all look to see that we are indeed glowing. "I'm blue," Billy yells out in excitement. "It's not my favorite color but it'll do." He says to Jason and I and we both laugh with him.

"Yo I'm black," says Zack and that wipes away Billy's smile as he says,"What?" I look at both of them and while everyone else is mesmerized by the glowing lights.

"No you're not," BIlly says only to have Zack laugh and say, " Yes dude yes I am." I swim up to Billy and pat hm on the shoulder as in saying to just let it go he nods and begins to swim around.

"Hey guys there's something down there," Billy tells us and points down into the water. We all look at each other then at him, "Follow me." Doing what he says we begin to follow him each catching deep breathes and diving into the water.

We seem deeper and deeper and reach up to what Billy saw. As I swim closer to it I examin it. It shows us our reflections, I look at everyone else who is also examining it.

I extend my hand outwards only to feel air, I pull my hand back in surprise. Then swim outwards so that the upper half of my body goes through.

I gasp in a breath once I'm out of the water, to see that I'm hanging upside down. I look around to see everyone else do it. "Where are we?" Jason asks only to have me yell out, "Oh shit!"

And as I said that Billy exclaimed, "Jason I'm sliding!" We all then fall and hit the ground. While getting up in pain I look around to see we're in a cave of some sorts.

We all look up to the water we just slipped though. Billy and Zack pull out their flashlights to give us the ability to see clearer. Jason walks up to me, "Are you okay?" he whispers.

I nod at him, "Yeah you?" He nods and then we hear Kimberly say, "Do you feel that?" She walks closer to a wall and places her hand to it.

Jason slips his hand into mine and pulls me with him to walk deeper into the cave. "There's something out here," I hear Jason say, I look up to see him looking around in the cave.

I turn to look at Kimberly and she tells me, "The walls are shaking." I don't need to touch the wall to know, because I can hear the rumbling of the walls.

"You guys c'mon, we have to stick together," I say loud enough for everyone to hear as Jason continues to pull me forward with him. I suddenly see Billy walk faster to get ahead of us.

Billy suddenly stops and points his flashlight forward to what is ahead. "Well that's impossible." Upon hearing that everyone walked faster to see what Billy is seeing.

We all stop to see an object that seems to be an alien spaceship, as if it came out of a movie. I see everyone glance at each other with smiles, as if a child is meeting his favorite superhero.

"I can not believe this," I say looking at the spaceship in awe. I suddenly feel my arm being pulled, I look up to see it was Jason. I begin to blush, only now fully realizing we were holding hands.

Thank the heavens above that it is dark in here. I think to myself. I begin to walk with Jason and see everyone else also walking towards the spaceship.

Once we get close to the entrance of the spaceship Billy says, "This must've been hear for millions of years," he aims his flashlight all around the ship to see it better, "Look at how th-the rock has grown around it."

I see Kimberly begin to walk towards me, "I don't like this place." Before i could respond I see Jason begin to pull something out of his pocket. Once he pulls it out I see that it's his stone, glowing.

"Hey uh guys," Jason says which caused everyone begin to huddle around him. He puts his stone in the middle of the circle," Check it out."

We suddenly hear something open behind us. We all turn around, Zack and Billy pointing their flashlights, to see the spaceship door open.

"Well that's not scary," I say with complete sarcasm, only to have Billy reply, "Uh yes it is." Before I could explain that I meant it sarcastically everyone began to walk up the stairs, Jason pulling me along with him.

Once we get to the top of the stairs I hear ZAck begin to say, "Holy shi-" "Shh" Jason and I say cutting him off. I look around to see very little light in the ship.

"What," ZAck begins in a very loud voice, "You guys think there's aliens in here." I whip around to Zack angry he was speaking so loud, "Zack shut the hell up. If there is you're going to be the first one they take."

This causes Zack to shut his mouth quickly and nod. I feel a hand begin to slip in mine and lightly tug me closer to them. I look up to see that it was Jason smiling, "C'mon," he says softly tugging me along with him.

"Is this real," I hear Billy say , "Like are we really in a spaceship?" I turn to see Billy looking around in disbelief. I feel Jason pull me with him as he starts walking towards Billy.

"Hey I uh think so, but look just breath. Okay?" He whispers Billy a response, they both nod to each other and I hold back an awe.

"Hey," we all turn to look at Trini, "We've all seen enough, right? We should go now." Her saying this confused me and apparently everyone else as well.

"What!" ZAck says loudly while running towards her. "We're gonna be famous!" I suddenly feel Jason walk forward , "Quiet! There's something here." Jason says we all stay quiet to listen.

And we did indeed hear something move.
