Sungchan: So, why are we doing this again?

Sohee: Because we promised to help Alien. Once this is over, we can go home.

Wonbin: I've figured it out...our house caught on fire in the middle of the night, and this is purgatory. Because none of this makes sense.

Seunghan: A lot of things do not make sense in this life, but they still happen.

Anton: Like what happened with you?

Everyone turned to Anton. 

Seunghan: Let's not talk about that. 

Anton: Sure...not now. But eventually we have to. After all of this is over...we still have to go back home, remember that. 

At that statement, Anton pulls Sohee, Sungchan, and Wonbin away with him.

Shotaro stands by Seunghan, seeing the upset look on his face.

Shotaro: Well, he sounded mad.

Seunghan: Of course he did. I have been off-putting every effort they made to keep me at the group house. 

Shotaro: Why though? Don't you want to stay with us?

Seunghan hesitated, sighing.

Seunghan: Taro...it's not that I don't want to stay with you all-

Shotaro: Okay, let's drop it for now. We can just do Sohee's plan and talk when we get home. 

Shotaro walked off, leaving Seunghan standing there. Honestly, he didn't want to leave them. His group was everything to him, but something was nagging at him. 

People had not been too nice to him, and some of the things they said and did honestly made him afraid...not just for himself.

Eunseok: Are you alive over here?

Seunghan jumped back, a bit startled.

Eunseok: Come on, the plan is starting.

He led Seunghan over to where everyone else had gathered. Sohee was going over the general idea, and also designating teams.

Sohee: Okay, so there are a lot of us. Including Alien, that's eight. So I say we split into two teams. Three of us stay with Alien and act as home base, while the other four of us go in and take the spaceship. 

Wonbin: Go in where?

Sohee: When we were walking over here, I remember seeing some sort of place like a garage. It had a few ships out front that look just like the one the other alien had.

Anton: Okay, so who is on ship retrieval team?

Sohee: Easy. You, me, Wonbin, and Sungchan.

Wonbin: Who?

Shotaro: Aww, I wanted to go.

Seunghan: Shouldn't Alien be on your team?

Sohee: No, if we get caught, since he lives here, he could suffer greater consequences. We don't want him to get hurt. 

The members nod in agreement.

Eunseok: Well, lucky for you guys, I brought these.

Out of Eunseok's bag, he takes two toy walkie-talkies. 

Eunseok: You guys take one, and we keep one. You can keep us updated that way.

Sohee: Thank you.

The two groups split up, determined to get this done as soon as possible. 

As they were leaving, Alien stops Anton at the door.

Anton: Uh...yes?

Alien reaches out, putting a bracelet on Anton's wrist. 

Anton: Oh, thank you. I will keep it safe.

The spaceship retrieval group leaves the house, ready to enact the second most dangerous part of this ordeal.

Seunghan stands at the door, watching them leave.

Shotaro: You good?

Seunghan: Something doesn't feel right.

Eunseok joins them, listening in.

Shotaro: What doesn't feel right?

Seunghan: Doesn't this all seem...too easy? Like, we have survived things we most likely shouldn't have. 

Eunseok: What are you trying to say?

Seunghan looks around outside, noticing some of the resident aliens staring in the directions his members walked off in. 

Seunghan: They wanted us here...

Shotaro looks outside as well, and turns to Alien.

Shotaro: Seunghan, do you think...

Seunghan: We may have made a terrible decision?

Shotaro: Yeah.

Seunghan: Unfortunately...I do. 

-------------------------

Sohee, Anton, Wonbin, and Sungchan were easing their way to the garage where the ships were parked.

The entire time, Anton couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. He had to tell the others.

Anton: Guys, doesn't it feel weird?

Wonbin: So you feel like you're being watched too?

They all look at Anton.

Anton: Yeah...it's strange. I also saw those aliens watching us as we left. 

They get closer to the garage, ducking behind a house. The group of four look around, not seeing anyone watching, but still unable to shake the feeling. 

After a minute, they continue on, walking closer to the garage.

Something continues to feel off, to Anton, and he subconsciously moves closer to Wonbin.

The group of four reaches the gate of the garage, seeing no one inside.

The radio sounds off in Sohee's hand and the voice of Seunghan comes through.

Seunghan: Guys, where are you now?

Sohee: At the gate of the garage, it doesn't look like anyone is here.

Seunghan: I was just checking to make sure you guys were being careful. I saw some aliens watching you guys.

Wonbin takes the radio.

Wonbin: Seunghan, I just had a thought and I need your opinion.

They all crowd closer to listen.

Seunghan: Yeah?

Wonbin: So...don't you think it's strange how easy this has been?

Seunghan: Hm?

Wonbin: We made it here shockingly easily. We could feel someone watching us but no one has tried to stop us. And not to mention, the gate to this garage is unlocked.

Sohee slides open the gate.

Wonbin: And how come, if these ships are so easily accessible, is it that alien doesn't have one?

The radio goes silent for a few seconds, and the group of four enters the garage.

Seunghan: Hmm...I suggest you all be careful. Really careful.

Sohee and Anton near one of the ships as Wonbin and Sungchan stand a bit away, talking on the radio.

Anton sees a paper on the ship and grabs it. 

Anton: What is this? 

Sohee reads the paper.

Sohee: It says these ships have been confiscated. They are official property of the planet's army.

Anton: You can read alien language?

Sohee: I have a very particular set of skills. 

Anton: Okay Mr. Skills, so how come that other alien had this type of ship if...

The pair make eye contact.

Sohee: The other alien must have been part of this planet's army. Which means the only reason he would attack another alien...

Anton: Is if he saw him as a threat...

Wonbin and Sungchan come running over.

Sungchan: Guys! We need to go! 

Anton: Why?

Sungchan: Look!

The boys look where he is pointing to see a ship landing just outside the garage. They quickly attempted to run, but the alien inside of the ship climbs out, running towards them.

Anton: Run! Faster!

They keep running faster as the alien chases them down. It gets closer and closer, reaching out to grab at-

Anton: No! 

He yells as the alien grabs his arm, but his yell is cut short when the alien is launched back by an unknown force. 

Everyone stops, looking at Anton. 

The bracelet on his arm shakes, and he looks down at it.

Wonbin: How did you do that?

Anton: I do not know...but let's hurry back...we need to talk to Alien.

With that, the group of boys ran off back towards the alien's house, hands clutched together.

The alien that had been chasing them stands up from being knocked back, watching them as they run.

"Humans...no...humans..."
