Chapter 11: Survival

"You have failed again. Another zerk has died because of your incompetence." The face
yells.

"But sir we have only one more crystal to get." One of the men says.

"But you are missing two more also. So getting the last one won't be enough." The face
says.

"Those sailor brats are a really big problem." Arta says.

"And what do you do with problem people?" The face asks, eyes glowing brightly.

"You eliminate them." Arta responds.

The scouts are all sitting at the airport.

"I can't wait to get up there in the plane. This is gonna be a beautiful trip." Serena says.

Lita is sitting there uneasily fidgeting. Jake is sitting next to her. He puts his arm around
her.

"Hey what's wrong?" Jake asks.

"Oh it's nothing. Airplane rides just always give me the shivers." Lita says

The pilot shows up and shows the girl to the plane.

"Eliminate them now." The face yells.

Lita gets in the plane reluctantly and sits down. She looks around and puts on her seat
belt tight. The other girls and Jake sit in their own seats and smile in anticipation.

"Come-on Lita. This will be fun." Jake says smiling.

Lita nods silently. The plane taxies down the runway and takes off. Lita looks out the
window but quickly looks away.

"Look at the window now girls. We are at the maximum height. You should get a great
view of Los Angeles." The pilot says.

Everybody but Lita looks out.

"Wow it's huge." Mina says.

"No matter how many times I take this trip, I am still awed by the immensity of this city."
Jake says.

Lita tries to look but can't look for long.

"We are now passing over the state line into Oregon." The pilot says.

The girls look again and see tons of trees.

"Soon we will be coming out of the valley. The other side does not have as much plants.
So enjoy the beautiful plant view while you can." The pilot says.

Suddenly the plane rocks violently. Luna's face goes white and her fists grab the rests so
hard that they turn white also. She faints and has a nightmare about something that she
has tried to forget for a long time.

"Please don't leave me." Young Lita says.

"We won't be gone for long. We are just going to Tokyo for a few days. You know your
babysitter." Lita's mother says.

"I'll miss you." Lita says.

"We will miss you too." The mother says.

The mother kneels down and hugs Lita. They leave and get on the plane. That was the
last time Lita ever saw her parents alive.

"Lita. Uh I have bad news. You parents were in a plane crash. Nobody survived." The
baby sitter says sadly.

"No. Mommy, Daddy!" Lita screams crying.

Her memories shift to her parents' funeral. The bodies where never recovered so there are
just two caskets in honor of them. Lita just sits there with her head hung low. She refuses
to walk in front of the casket cause her parents aren't in them. Lita remembers the
nightmares she had after that.

"We are experiencing a bit turbulence." The pilot says.

The plane shakes violently and young Lita starts crying.

"Stop crying." The dad says sternly.

But Lita is too afraid to stop. Her dad takes off his seat belt to get her to stop crying. At
that moment the side of the plane explodes and her dad gets sucked out.

"It's your fault." The mother screams.

She too gets sucked out. Lita somehow survives. The plane quickly lands and everybody
is evacuated. A police officer comes.

"People tell me that you are responsible for the loss of two passengers." The cop says
with a frown.

"No." Lita screams.

The cop cuffs her.

"You are under arrest." The cop says.

That's when Lita would usually wake up with a sweat. Lita snaps out of her memories.
To her horror she sees the ground coming up fast.

"What's going on?" Lita yells.

"The plane is out of control. We're gonna crash." The pilot yells.

The plane hits the ground bottom first and slides a few yards before stopping. The girls
walk up to the pilot who is lying on the wheel with a really bloody forehead. Mina feels
for a pulse but finds none. Suddenly she screams as a creature comes out of his head and
dies.

"Oh my god. He was a host." Mina says.

"So this was all on purpose. Now what do we do?" Ami asks.

Lita is just standing there in shock.

"Look around for any supplies like water. Does anyone have any cuts or wounds?" Mina
asks.

Lita looks down at a gash in her leg and collapses.

"Lita!" They all yell.

"Can anybody here us. We were in a plane crash. We are in the eastern part of Oregon.
Here are the coordinates." Mina says into the radio.

She reads the coordinates with Jake's help. Then she repeats it twice more but there is no
response.

"We need to get out of here now." Jake says smelling gas.

Ami grabs a first aid kit and clips it to her outfit. They all then lift up Lita and carry her
out. They rush as far away from the plane. Suddenly they are all knocked down when the
plane explodes. When they all get up, Ami quickly opens up the first aid kit.

"My mom is a doctor. I learned a few things from her about treating serious wounds."
Ami says.

First she cleans the wound then she puts antibiotics on it. Then she uses special tape to
close the wound temporarily. Finally she puts a big bandage around her leg.

"Okay that should do it. I don't know how much blood she lost. We should get her to a
hospital." Ami says.

"That's a great idea. But first we need to get to civilization." Mina says.

Ami searches through the stuff she got from the plane but can't find a compass.

"Without a compass we will never know which direction is which." Ami says.

"And we aren't gonna last long carrying Lita." Jake says.

"We should find shade and hope that the radio signal got to someone." Mina says.

They all agree and look around.

"There is no shade. All I see is brush everywhere." Rei says frustrated.

Ami finds a lean two in the belongings.

"So we will have to make our own shade." Ami says.

They help unfold and set up the shelter. They put Lita in there and sit down themselves.

"Did you find any water?" Mina asks.

"A bit." Ami says frowning.

She holds up a canister that is almost full.

"That isn't enough for us all for long." Jake says frowning.

"A lot of it should go to Lita. She needs the most water to survive." Ami says.

Jake braces Lita's head on his arm and opens up her mouth. He them pours some water in
her mouth.

"Come-on. Don't leave me now." Jake says.

Meanwhile Lita is having more nightmarish visions. She finds herself in the pilot seat.

"What are you doing? Don't you know how to fly the plane?" The other plane asks.

"No. What am I doing here?" Lita asks.

The plane suddenly goes into a nosedive.

"You have killed us all." A familiar voice says.

Lita looks over and yells, as her co pilot is now her father.

"You little…" Her father says.

He reaches the back of his hand out to Lita but the plane explodes before he can do it and
Lita finds her entire world turn white.

"Mommy. Daddy." Lita cries out.

"It's okay." A woman's voice says.

Lita looks around and sees the woman.

"Mommy." Lita says.

"It's time for you to stop blaming yourself for our death. It wasn't your fault." Lita's
mom says.

"I was no good as daughter. Daddy just wanted to get away from me." Lita says.

"That's not true. He was proud of you even if he couldn't express that. He knew that you
would grow up to be a wonderful young woman." Lita's mother says.

Lita looks down.

"Your friends need you. It's time to leave the past in the past." Lita's mother says.

Everything fades away and Lita opens her eyes.

"Oh thank god you are back with us." Jake says.

Lita smiles. Lita tries to stand up but winces and falls back down.

"Whoa hold on there. You got a nasty wound there. Ami fixed it up but you will need to
be careful on it until we can get you to a hospital." Jake says.

Lita stands up shakily with help of Jake and Mina.

"Okay it's been 2 hours. I don't think that help is coming. We need to get to safety by
ourselves somehow." Ami says.

They fold up and put the shelter back in and onto Ami's back. They each take a swig
from the water bottle.

"Okay. It's the afternoon and the sun is that way. That means that north is this way." Jake
says pointing to their right.

They start heading that way. After not long Jake and Mina start sweating big time from
carrying Ami. Every few minutes they have to put down Lita and rest. After a few times
they still don't see anything.

"It's hopeless. We will never make it." Serena says.

Lita looks up suddenly.

"Does anyone else hear that?" Lita asks.

Jake listens and nods.

"It's a helicopter. Quick check the kit for a flare gun. We need to signal that helicopter."
Jake says.

Ami takes out a flare gun and Jake loads it. He points up and away from the helicopter
and fires. The copter circles and slowly lands. When the pilot sees the bandaged girl he
quickly helps the others bring her on.

"Lucky thing I came when I did. I thought I picked up a distress signal around here." The
pilot says.

"So it reached someone. We thought it didn't work." Mina says.

They all get into the helicopter and it takes off.

"So what was running through that head of yours that whole time you were
unconscious?" Jake asks.

"Nothing much. Just making peace with my parents." Lita says.

She looks out the window and smiles.
