The Spaceship - Part two

<p>As they were walking back the way they had come , the tiredness started to seep in to the both of them, and Constantine much more so. Long day? said Plato. Constantine nodded half sheepishly. As they treaded the tedious journey back, a large vehicle was approaching them and at quite a speed. But the two of them were jade and the approaching vehicle did not startle them at all. The vehicle came towards them and parked parallelly. Slowly , a window rolled down and familiar face called out to the them. 
"Plato," a strong voice called out. Plato looked at the man who called out his name. 
"Yes sir," said Plato and approached the vehicle. 
"Are the both of you alright?" asked the man. 
"Yes sir, we were not at danger at any point," replied Plato. 
"Good," said the man. "I suppose that was Sebastian, our senior pilot that crashed earlier. The one you thought could have been Sergey ."
"Yes sir, I had thought that it could be Sergey," said Plato. 
"Well, son, it looks like we need to wait a bit longer," said the director. 
"Yes sir," said Plato. 
"We will take care of the situation," said the Director. 
"The both of you get back home before it gets too dark," instructed the Director. The windows rolled up and went at the direction of the man who lay dead under the parachute. The two of them continued their journey towards the town of Minsk. 
"Can I stay with you today?" asked Constantine. 
"Alright,0 replied Plato. "It is indeed getting late."Constantine's face lit up. 
"I can help you with the docket too," said Constantine. Plato looked at Constantine and smiled. "Do not push your luck kid," Plato said. Constantine gave a puzzled look.

In a galaxy far far away
Planet 757.....
A man taken back to his days of stupor resided in a cave staring at his food that one would not dare touch. Life is a paradox,thought the man. I started with a bottle in my hands and slept at the street which gave me a home on that particular day and now the days remind me of the same. Just that there are no humans to judge me, feel pity for me, or drop a quarter. The man got up and looked outside the cave, the sun light shone directly at his face. This cannot be the end. Surely will not end it like this, he thought to himself. Far away from him was a ship that lay idle. And the ship could not move any further as there was no fuel in it, it was empty to the tilt. The very last drop of it was used by Sergey to tilt the ship inwards to the planet from the open sky. 20 days earlier an army of space rocks came hurdling towards the ship damaging the fuselage causing spillage of the fuel completely. An adept pilot as he was somehow managed to steer the ship to safety. A lesser pilot would have certainly crashed it and his life would be no more. But no, not Sergey, more than his Flying skills were his instinct to survive. His will to carry on, instilled in him from his childhood. An instinct and a will to survive, only a man bred on the streets would know. So there he stands, a man of true Grit basking in the sunlight and cooking up ways to leave this planet and head back home. Although deep in his mind he knew that the chances of him flying out of here on his own were bleak, very bleak. And he looked at the GPS he had in his pocket. It was blinking. But it was of no help, he knew that too. He had steered away too far from earth. A tracking system can pick up signals only from so long. Sergey hit the cave in frustration, I should not have steered away this far, he thought to himself. Sergey seemed to have spotted some movement on the terrain he was alien to. A bit of dust and rocks seemed to tumble to its left and right. This prompted Sergey to pick up his binoculars and have a look at what it was. It was a Trusk much to his liking. A Trusk was found in planet 757 and the planets around it. A Trusk resembled a Wild boar one would find on our planet just that it was a lot bigger and a lot quicker too. A brushing with one of its long and sharp tusks could easily kill a person, mind you , just a brushing. A normal man would make himself scarce at the presence of a Trusk . But no, not Sergey. To Sergey it was a meal, a meal he had been dreaming of for a couple of days. Sergey without wasting any time, got his rifle from inside the cave, put on the mask to protect his head from any attack and jumped into the terrain. His mask had the properties of a binocular among many other. Sergey ran and hid behind big rocks, with his movements trying to make himself invisible to the Trusk. The Trusk was still moving in circles like an agitated animal. Something must have bit it, thought Sergey . A sort of a viper , could be. Strangely the planet 757 resembled the part of our planet, just that to the misfortune of Sergey, it resembled the part of the planet one would call a desert. And a boar in a desert is a rare sight l, as the terrain did not much suit them, but that was not to be the case here in this planet. The Trusk's skins and functions were very much suited to the condition of a desert. Sergey got close enough to see the trusk with his bare eyes. It was a large one the biggest he had seen so far. And Sergey could sense that it was in great pain. The movement of the beast was slowing down and maybe it was accepting its fate. The posin must be deadly, but surely not deadly enough to kill a giant beast like a Trusk. A man it would kill, surely, but surely not a Trusk. Sergey took his rifle and shot it right through its head. And he took another shot right through its chest. And then a third and final blow in the middle of its eyes. The beast succumbed to the ground. And Sergey waited for a good few minutes to make sure it was really dead. Now, he needed a knife, or a sharp object to tear the beast into smaller pieces and get it back to the cave. And it had to be done before nightfall. Sergey then went back to the cave, dropped his rifle, took out a large back capable of dragging weight well over a ton. He carried the large bag in his left hand and a large spear, that could tear open a beat like it was a sharp sword, that he carried in his right hand and made his way towards the meal.</p>
