There are several villages and station at Zeoclite. However, building houses or bases on Zeoclite with non eco-friendly materials are strictly prohibited. Building oversized bases is also strictly prohibited. They also limit visitors who come to the planet so the planet's wildlife is not disturbed.

"Admiral, we're here." Said Lahap.

A planet with shades of neon green appear in the ship's radar. It grows bigger as the spaceship approach.

"This is Zeoclite main station "Green Canyon". Please identify yourself." Said a Voice through the communicator.

"This is Admiral Maskmana of Aurum Spaceship. Asking permission to land on the designated coordinate." Said Admiral Maskmana.

"Identity and permit confirmed. Permission to land granted. Welcome to Zeoclite, Admiral." Said Zeoclite operator.

"Thank you." Admiral replied. He turned to Lahap. "Alright. Reduce the speed and enter the planet. We land on our planned coordinates." Said the Admiral.

"Yes sir." Lahap answered.

The spaceship going through the planet's atmosphere. With a little turbulence, the spaceship landed.

"Everyone ready?" Ask Admiral Maskmana

"Ready!" Said the team with a salute.

"Alright. We split into two team. Kaizo, Ramenman and Axion will go together. Lahap, Rum, You're with me. Remember, our objective is to explore this area and record our findings. I expect interesting report from all of you." Said Admiral Maskmana

"Yes, Admiral." Said the team

"Stay sharp, and be careful. One more thing. Keep each other safe." Said the Admiral

The team give salute and they begin to explore.

"So... what do you guys want to find?" Ask Ramenman. "It'd be cool if we find something to fight, don't you think?"

"Well, if this 'something to fight' is something that I can handle, then it'd be cool." Said Axion

"Don't worry. Your best space ranger here can protect you." Said Ramenman as he wrap Axion's shoulder.

Kaizo rolled his eyes.

Axion chuckled. "Oh... my knight in shining armor." Said Axion teasingly.

They stopped by a small grassland area. Axion runs towards group of flowers. The flowers shaped like lilies and they have luminous beads. She take out her tablet and start scanning.

"Well, would you look at that." Said Ramenman as he nudge Kaizo.

Kaizo shrug him off in annoyance.

Axion turn to Ramenman. "These flowers will be my report, i guess."

Ramenman chuckled. "You like flowers?"

"Not really. But it sure is nice to see these colors." Said Axion as she gently caress a flower's petal.

"Well." Said Ramenman as he stretch his back. "Now, what can I use for report?" He wonder as he look around. He approach a tree and looked at it's fruits. "Do you think we can eat those?" He asks.

"Don't put everything in your mouth. Not all fruits are edible." Said Kaizo.

Ramenman chuckled. "Few bites won't kill." He jump and pick a fruit. "Besides, what can possibly happen?." He shrug.

Suddenly, the bushes in front of Axion moved. Axion startled. She slowly stand as she lock eyes at the bushes. Kaizo glance at her.

"Something's wrong?" Kaizo asks.

"Something's coming." Said Axion.

Kaizo put his hand on his sword as he walk closer to Axion. Ramenman join them. They looked at shaking bushes. Suddenly, hyenas jumped out of the bushes. They roar as they run to attack. Both Axion and Kaizo step aside to avoid the first attack.

"Congrats. Your wish has been granted." Said Axion, looking at Ramenman.

"You're welcome." Said Ramenman as he pull his baton.

"I should've wish you shut your mouth." Said Kaizo.

Soon, the rest of the hyenas jumped out and surround them. They all fight the pack of hyenas. The beast is fast but still beatable. Kaizo slay the beast one by one. A hyena jumped behind him but Axion use her magic shield to protect him. Kaizo exchange stare with her. Axion look around. It's obvious they're outnumbered.

"Stay close. Protect each other's back. We're a team." Said Axion. She tried to get close to Kaizo. But before Ramenman can reach them to join formation, few hyenas jump toward Kaizo and Axion Pushing them both to the ground. Suddenly the ground breaks, swallowing both Axion and Kaizo. Lucky for Ramenman, he managed to stop before he run straight into the hole.

"KAIZO!!! AXION!!!" Ramenman yelled.

He look around at the hyenas, expecting to keep up the fight. But the hyenas decide to retreat. After making sure the hyenas don't come back, Ramenman open his watch.

"Admiral, it's me. I lost my team." Said Ramenman as he anxiously peered through the hole where Axion and Kaizo fall.

"What happened?" Ask Admiral Maskmana from the watch.

"There was tigers, lions... argh.. I don't know. Beast." Said Ramenman, frustrated.

"Calm down. Where are you? Send us your position. We'll be there in a moment." Said Admiral Maskmana.
