Tyler yelled as he opened his eyes and felt a cold rush of wind.
   'How the heck am I up here in the sky?!' Tyler thought internally. Externally, other screams accompanied him as he was in mid air hanging on to the emergency launch exit door of a plane!
He then felt the air resistance push him. He held on for his dear life and suddenly one of his hands lost its grip!
He screamed loudly and almost lost his grip with his other hand when he suddenly felt a hand pull him up with strength and speed. And suddenly, he was on a platform.
The plane he was on was unsteady however. With one broken wing and engine, the roof of the plane almost completely off, little to no fuel, and there were twelve passengers with no driver!
The broken engine hissed angrily as gas spurted out and as the fire on the left wing began to spread.
Tyler watched in terror but saw Mars running towards the cockpit in a rush with her brows furrowed in anger and concentration.
Moments later, the plane seemed more at ease and straightened out. Tyler took the chance to breathe yet felt like it wasn't over yet.
A wing and engine of the plane were still broken and in heavy need of repairs. Tyler looked around quickly to see familiar faces in different clothing. They were all in lycra jumpsuits with several pockets and different designs and colors.
But no time for fashion advice right? He had to find out how they got there!
   'Of course!' He thought. 'The mirror brought us here?!"
Tyler quickly ran towards the cockpit and saw Mars doing her best to maneuver the plane by pressing several buttons and levers and shouting into a radio mic.
   "We're all going to die!!!" Someone screamed and Tyler looked back out of the cockpit and saw that Chelsea was the one who screamed.
   "We'll make it out if this!!!" Tyler yelled and she shut up. "Find parachutes and things! Hurry!!!"
Carl and Jin wasted no time and went through the VIP and commoner sections of the plane to look for anything useful.
Tyler quickly looked out of the emergency exit once and winced as he looked down. They were more than ten feet above a vast, deep blue ocean! The look of clouds atop a large blue ocean was usually peaceful. But not today!
They were in a crisis!
   "Everyone! Grab a life vest!" Tyler exclaimed and grabbed one himself from under one of the chairs. The others did the same as their hope for survival wavered.
The adrenaline rushed throughout Tyler's veins even faster while blood pumped into his head; agitating him as he began to scramble to find a way to survive.
He re-checked on Mars to see her screaming into the microphone still while Geoffrey was her wingman. They were pressing many things to try to stablize the plane but the gas was draining. And fast!
There was nothing Tyler could do about the plane. He knew nothing about flight ergonomics. Even Mars and Geoffrey seemed to be on edge.
He then approached those who weren't in the cockpit. The other nine of his... Teammates.
   "We're doomed! I don't want to die without my face and body in perfection!!!" Ryan screeched.
   "Who cares about looks right now?! We're all going to crash if you don't stop your yapping!!!" Marco yelled at Ryan.
Carl and Jin then returned with one medical kit each, three parachutes, and two ropes that were at least a foot long. Maybe less!
   "Only three?" Tyler asked them while trying to keep a calm deameanor when deep inside, he was frightened to his core.
   "It was all we could find." Carl panted tiredly.
   "We'll have to get two or three people to hold on to the ones riding the parachutes..." Tyler muttered. "But the weight is risky..."
He then checked the cockpit again and asked Mars about the plane. She angrily responded to him but mentioned a button wherein the hood of the cockpit opens and then the pilot and co-pilot's seats will fly out and eject as parachutes.
   He then returned to the others tiredly and nodded at them determinedly. "We have five parachutes then. Someone can sit on Mars or Geoffrey's laps. Or the other way around."
  "We girls will be the easiest to carry. We're lighter." Selene said calmly and Celeste looked at her older with wide eyes.
   "We're not doing this are we?!" Celeste asked scaredly.
   Tyler gave Celeste a concerned look. "It's all we can do to try to survive. There should be a lifeboat-"
He was cut off by the plane tilting sideways. They heard Mars swear angrily in the cockpit as she tried to tilt it straight again. The others skidded off balance and gripped on to the seats as they tried to hold on.
Haley suddenly slipped however. She screamed as she almost slid out of the emergency door. Haley held onto the floor with her forced strength and as the wind almost drowned out her screaming.
Tyler lunged for her and grabbed her arm breathlessly. He hit his chin on the floor painfully and his arms pained. He however was more focused on pulling up Haley.
The plane was a little straightened and he managed to stop Haley from screaming. Marco and Carl pulled Tyler up and Haley whimpered and rubbed her raw eyes.
   "She's okay..." Carl said breathlessly.
   "Haley!!!" Celeste whimpered and hugged her tight. Haley whimpered as well and hugged her tightly.
   "At least most of you have stopped panicking as much. We need to think of a safe way to get off of this plane... Mars and Geoffrey are doing their best." Jin said.
Tyler understood and then they heard Ryan gasp. They all looked at him and Ryan pointed frantically outside the emergency exit door.
   "An island!!! I see an island I tell you!!!" He screamed and flailed his arms.
James rushed to his employers aid and escorted him away from the door and Tyler and some of the others looked down to see a large evergreen island. It looked lush and there seemed to be a patch of blank land. Clear of trees.
Tyler hurriedly ran back to the cockpit and informed Mars of the island.
   "I'll try to land! Just get your crap together in case I mess up!!!" She swore angrily as she spun the plane towards the direction of the island.
The turn caused Tyler to crash into the right wall but he hurriedly got back up to check on the others.
Jin and Marco were wearing their parachutes and that left one more for the others. Tyler volunteered to wear the last one and they willingly gave it to him. The plane swerved again and he and some of the others toppled down onto the floor and he hurt his elbows in the fall.
They quickly got back up and debated quickly about who was to be carried and who would go with Mars and Geoffrey.
Marco volunteered to go with Mars and Selene bravely volunteered to go with Geoffrey. Both pairs got along fine so the remaining were who carries who.
Jin was taking Haley and Chelsea who angrily agreed. Carl was strong so he was the one taking Ryan even though he protested but a bribe with his life stopped him from talking.
   "So... You go with Celeste. I'm sure you can carry her." Jin said and then the plane tilted again. The nose of the plane suddenly dived down and they screamed as they were nearing the island.
   "DEPLOY YOUR PARACHUTES!!!" Mars screamed from the cockpit.
Selene and Marco hurriedly rushed to them and suddenly they heard the loud sound of metal and the sound of a whoosh.
Tyler quickly grabbed Celeste by her waist and watched as the others got their partners and they jumped off.
   "You'll be okay, alright Celeste?!" Tyler yelled as the air current loudly pushed against them.
He then carried her bridal style and pulled at the parachute's string and jumped off.
He closed his eyes tightly as he felt himself fall and the wind brushed his hair straight up. He then heard the sound of cloth and his fall became slowed.
Tyler slowly opened his eyes and heard light whimpers and felt arms wrap themselves around his neck. His cheeks reddened immediately as soon as he realized that Celeste was hugging him tightly.
   "Celeste hey... You can... Stop holding me this tight?" He asked her awkwardly.
   "Goddammpit Tyler!!! I don't want to look down-"
And at that same moment, the plane crashed into the sea and the sound of a loud explosion created some air resistance and pushed the parachutes forward and Celeste yelped.
Tyler sighed as he found her annoying somehow yet he chose to ignore it.
   "Celeste. The clouds are pretty up here-"
   "Shut up, please?" She yelped.
He did as told and shut up until they slowly landed on the beach of the island and he put her down properly. The others already made it down and Ryan screamed as soon as Celeste and Tyler landed.
   "Where are we?!" Ryan exclaimed angrily. "And why am I wearing this... Futuristic sportswear?! It's not my style!" He complained loudly.
   "Shut up Ryan." Mars said angrily as she crossed her arms.
   "But Mars, he has a point." Tyler pointed out and they all looked at him.

   "Just where are we?" He asked.
