As I arrive to the airport, I catch up with all my other teammates, and a convertible flying limo type of car takes us to a private jet.
“Wow this is a nice jet you got here, Costa!”
“Why thank you, Trey.” As I replied along with a wink. Then again someone else fires another question towards me.
“Say you receive any service on here?” Asked Jack. “Yes of course only the best.” As I replied to his question along with another wink. We all gathered our luggage and gave them to a kind gentlemen waiting at the top of the stairs on the plane. We got into our seats, listened to the emergency procedures, and finally take off.
It was about 10 minutes ago when I was afoot on American soil, now I’m making my way to Brazilian soil.
“Wow this is going to be the greatest trip of my life.” Said Evren excitedly.
“I agree, not just for the soccer, but also for all them sexy chickas at the beaches!” Said Matt D after high-fiving hands with Evren.
“Oh snap out of it guys it’s time to get serious now.” Replied Nicko.
Since my flight was an early one, I never got time to finish off my sleep from the night. So the guys and myself all fell to sleep.
It was about two hours later when I wake up. Then all of a sudden, a lady comes up to me and asks,
“Good Evening Sir, would you care for a drink?” She asked.
“Sure a coke would sound rather refreshing. Thank you.” I said. Then out of the nowhere, I hear this loud thumping sound…“BOOM!” I look out the window to see what happened and realize that our engine is caught on fire, and we were going to crash very rapidly.
“Hey what’s going on?!” Screamed Jack very worriedly. Just as he said that his question was answered to him from the intercom,
“Ladies and Gentlemen please stay calm, buckle your seatbelts, put on a life vest, and prepare for crash landing! We are interfering with an engine malfunction and are afraid there is no other way to stop this.” Closer and closer to sea level we get the faster and faster my heart begins to race. All of a sudden there was a…”BOOM!” Crashing into the Atlantic Ocean I panic to dear life hoping to survive. I got lucky and found a life raft so I grabbed it and did something to it that automatically inflated all by itself. It took me up on sea level and I panicked to get on it. A few seconds later I find more bobbing heads around me so I help them on the raft and we all survive with minor cuts and bruises.
“Hey man what the heck just happened?!” Asked Matt A. “You guys I’m scared to death right now what are we going to do now?!”
“Just calm down and relax we will figure something out, trust me.” I said back to him. I look around and just thought to myself how we really are going to make it out of here alive as we are in the middle of the ocean. There were no signs of pilots or anybody alive. Just my teammates and a raft.
A few hours go by as we slowly recover from all the fear and coldness of the water. I look around the raft and discover a zipper on the inside pocket.
“Hey guys look!” I said.
“Lets open it up to see if we can find any supplies that could be helpful.” Said Trey sitting right next to it. We unzip it open and pull out the following: a watch, a grenade, a smaller sized paddle, a full water bottle, a rope (about 100 yards), a pair of binoculars, and a survival kit which contained band aides, peroxide, sports tape, etc.
“Well hey this is a start! We can think of things to do right?” Asked Nicko.
“No man I’m afraid there is nothing that we can do.” Said Matt D.
Very stressed about what just happened, I look around the ocean with the binoculars that we had found. Than shockingly, I spotted something. It seemed to be a small dot which I assumed it to be an island of some sort. So I passed the binoculars to Matt A and asked him, “Hey is there something like a dot you see way down there if you look hard enough? Something that I assume to be an island or something?” I said.
“Hey that does look like something.” He said beginning to get excited about that fact.
“So what, spotting something on a stupid tool isn’t going to help.” Said Jack.
“Well it’s worth a shot!” I said.
“But how are we even going to get there, it could take us a day or two?”
“Yeah but I have an idea!” I said. I look around to find the rope that averaged to what I think about 100 yards. And then I remember that my shoes were multi-powered developed flying shoes that takes me from place to place wherever my brain tells them to go.
“Look we use my shoes as a propeller to fly ourselves closer and someone is going to have to hang on to the rope very tightly that way we won’t break lose. I have very low battery but by going at full speed with this baby, I believe it will get us a lot closer.” I said hoping that they will agree to my genius idea.
“Sure I guess it’s worth a try…” Said Jack.
As I went over the procedures I made Trey hang on to the rope.
“Everybody hang on!” I said. I quickly powered my shoes on and flew up and took off at full speed with them. Going about 50-60mhr zooming with the raft hoping that we wouldn’t lose connection. It took about 5 minutes that that had occurred and my shoes began to die off on me unfortunately. So as it was slowly dying off I just made my way back on the raft.
“You see you got pretty good distance! I knew I was right I knew it!” I said excitedly.
“Yeah well done man!” Said Jack astonishing. Matt A looks into the binoculars and gets a better look of the island.
“Yepp it’s for sure a small island. It’ll just take us a day or two to paddle over there.” Said Matt A.
“I bet if we share a few hours and each get rest it will make it easier for us to conserve energy and get there.” Suggested Nicko.
Listening to his suggestion, we did so and it was about a day or two till we set ashore on it. It seemed to be not even half a mile in length and width. It contained a few palm trees which what seemed to be coconuts, and mainly rocks and sand surrounding it.
“Oh sweet lord!, Coconuts! Something to drink!” Said Even. He climbed onto a tree and grabbed a few for all of us. Attempting to crack it open with sharp rocks, we were successfully able to do so, and managed to drink the milk inside of it.
“So now that were here, how are we going to get off this island and get help?” Said Trey.
“You know I don’t really know?” Said Jack.
A few depressing days go by and still no sign of anything. No boats no nothing. Me as usual like to play around with my lucky binoculars, and for some strange reason, I feel like a miracle has happened. I spot a plane from way far away and I think to myself, “Wow this is a dream come true!” So I quickly splash water on my friends to wake up and tell me what to do. I show them the plane and tell them, “Ok listen guys, this might be our only chance of surviving, you have any quick ideas?” I said.
“I do.” Said Matt D looking at the grenade.
“Oh no, no we are not doing what I think we are doing.” Said Evren.
“It could work??” Said Matt.
“I mean we could get put to jail for attempting to bomb down a plane!” Said Matt A.
“No you idiots like we can create an explosion here on the island. And that will trigger the pilots attention to let them assume that there are people on this island.” He said.
“Alright fine lets do it, but hurry…they are getting closer!” Said Jack.
We quickly detonated the bomb, dug a hole in the ground to prevent it hitting us, and backed away and got ready. Matt D threw the grenade in the hole and it blew up and we hoped that people would find us.
So about a few days later a coast guard was able to find us and we returned back to some headquarters in a very tiny country that we were unaware of. We then arrived safely to Brazil and my dream came true. I had to go through a bunch of things but I made it safe with my buddies. A lesson was to be learned for the future is that planes can never be dependent on anybody. New materials such as rocket boots will eventually have the power to transport one from place to place.
