Iscehznut - A Wild Escape

We'll miss you...

“Is it so…”, Nora's soft feminine voice came from the bathroom door. She stood there with her arms crossed on her chest, giving them a bold look. Her eyes shined like a diamond and her long dark black hair dripped water through her shoulders. The peach towel she wore showed her perfectly. She looked at her friends with her eyebrows raised in a questionable manner. "How the hell are you even maintaining that sexy body of yours?", Daisy, one of her best friends, was awed, staring at her from up and down. Nora and Loya giggled at her funny expression. "By avoiding junk foods!", Nora quoted for hands, saying sarcastically with a stylish wink. Daisy's mouth wide opened as she stared at Nora in surprise, "Are you even a human??", Sarcastically rolling her eyes at Nora, she sat on the couch resting her head peacefully. "Whatever! You are a Pizza psychopath!", Teasing Daisy, Nora stepped into her wardrobe and grabbed her favorite pajamas. She threw away her peach towel and changed into those pajamas. Tying up her hair into a messy bun she walked to her soft and comfy bed and fell on it for relaxation. Ah! Feels like heaven…

"Tomorrow is the day, we'll miss you, Nora…!", Loya's eyes welled up with tears, staring at Nora sadly. Nora turned to face her and quickly Nora's soulful eyes changed into unhappy ones. Silence filled the air for a couple of astrominutes. When Nora pulled Loya for a tight hug, tears started to roll down from their cheeks. "I'll miss you guys too..."

Meanwhile here in the space shuttle's parking lot in Orano planet.

BURRRRRRRRRRRRRH!!

DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHH!!

"Return in one piece all of you and take care, kids. Transmit to me if you need anything there, okay!", With a wide grin on his face, Aldric waved his hands and bid goodbye. "Bye old man! We'll see you in a few astrodays", Aiden winked at Aldric and ignited the engines of the speedy 127 by tapping on the buttons before him. "Have fun, kids!!!", Aldric, Dr. Arnar, Benjamin, and other close colleagues of theirs cheered from outside.

In the spacecraft, Aiden, Zara, and Kevin took their seats and locked their seatbelts after double-checking their safety kits. Aiden ignited the Speedy's main and propeller engines. He adjusted the pressure of the propeller fans and other power engines. The primary and secondary displays glowed with the frequency, speed, and other information of the space shuttle. "Welcome to Ora Speedy 127!"Lucy's cute robotic voice welcomed everybody on the ship. "Hey, Lucy! Finally, it's heeerrreee!", Aiden dramatically pulled his words winking at Lucy. "It's gonna be one hell of a trip, Captain!", as usual, Lucy's sarcasm started to overflow the shuttle while everyone burst out laughing. "Indeed, Lucy! You're always right", Kevin sided up with Lucy as he knew he could never stand up in an argument with her. "Ahaa, that's a good way to start with Lucy as we all know she is the only one who can win an argument with you!", winking at Kevin, Zara cracked up giggling at Kevin who in return rolled his eyes in annoyance. "So, shall we?", Aiden held the speed gears in his hands and asked looking through the transparent glass before him. "YAAAAASS!!!" Lucy and Kevin yelled enthusiastically in unison. Aiden pulled the speed gear holders which initiated the ship at full speed as the speedometer's numeric values rose vigorously.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Loud blasting sound from the pressure valves filled the air of the parking lot while speedy 127 raced into the dark sky with reddish fire erupting from its silencers. Ora speedy 127 sped up through the Orano Space Post after passing its authentication. In the dark outer space, the space shuttle moved in a stable condition. Racing through the dense vacuum of the space through the gleaming stars, pulsars, and other heavenly bodies, Aiden and others took their time to enjoy their beauty. "Nature's beauty is indescribable...", Zara said, staring at those shiny dark energies around them, mesmerized. "Yeah, these energies and quasars glow brightly burning their protons. It's amazing isn't it?", Aiden explained about their nature as he shifted his control to automation.

"AUTOMATIC MODE ON!"

The machinery voice notified the ship as Aiden programmed the arbitrary motion to the Almonda planet's trajectory path. "Captain, the trajectory path is set, and the path is quite busy as this is a peak time for Almonda tourists", Lucy shared some information about the ship's update while setting the defaults to automation. "Also, the mode will be manual when we enter the civil border of Almoonda planet due to air traffic, Captain!", adding up a few more notifications, Lucy set the astrotime alarm and the default speed limit.

"LIMITS ARE DEFAULT"

"ASTROTIME ALARM IS IN 20 ASTROMINUTES!"

"SPEED LIMIT IS DEFAULT"

THUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!

The robotic voice was followed by some thudding sound which was kinda off. " What's that?", Startled by the sound, Zara asked as she moved away from her seat, unlocking her belt. And suddenly there was some vibrating sensation throughout the ship and Kevin freaked out at this, "OYAAA!! WHAT THE FU** IS GOING ON?". Aiden observed the pressure change as the ship moved further and adjusted it which again and again dropped to its minimum. " Captain, the pressure measurements are dropping all of a sudden!", Lucy notified in her emergency tone leaving the ship a danger signal. "AIDEN! PLEASE SAVE ME!!! I STILL HAVEN'T MET MY SOULMATE, PLEASE! I'M SO YOUNG TO DIE IN A CR...!", Kevin freaked out but before he could say anything further Zara clutched his mouth tight with her hands. "hmmm mmmm!!!!", Kevin tried to free himself from her grip but he couldn't move an inch. "Shut up, Kevin. Let Aiden do his job!", whispering into his ears, Zara slowly removed her hands from his mouth. "Lucy, where are my bots?", adjusting the notches before him, Aiden asked in a calm tone. There was no single bit of fear or anxiety in Aiden which surprised Kevin. "Robbie and Tobbie are in Charging mode while Bee and Bug are in hibernation, Captain!", showing their status on the displays before them, Lucy explained it. "Okay, just get them here, we have something to fit", Aiden said as he took something out of his leather jacket. Kevin and Zara had puzzled looks on their faces. But quickly, Kevin remembered the thing in Aiden's hand. "AID! DON'T TELL ME IT IS THE…"
