“Hiroshi, Hayate, are you ready?”
“Yes sir! Absolutely ready!” Said two voices together.
The two men who just agreed to their ‘Sir’ were wearing astronaut suits, the fear and anxiety in their minds were covered with the excitement in their faces. They were going to fly off with the brand-new rocket to a brand-new planet on their brand first mission.
Hiroshi was Hayate’s blood-related brother who was born 7 minutes ago, Hayate was 7 minutes younger than Hiroshi.
Both of them get into the rocket while the world was watching them. Almost 70 percent of all the televisions in the globe were echoing with the countdown. Humanity had hope and excitement written on their faces.

And, the rocket inside which the twin brothers were, took off leaving all the steam and everything behind.
"Brother, what do you think the new planet is like?"
"I don't know Hayate, let's see."
The rocket went past Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. They were now at the planet humanity called Unshphere. The rocket landed.
"Lub dub"
..."Lub dub" ...
^^^"Lub dup"^^^
This is was sound that could be heard in the pin drop silence. Their hearts were beating as fast as the rocket they rode on. They didn't know why, but they felt a weird aura all around.
Hayate says breaking the silence, "Brother, you can go first."
^^^Hiroshi agrees to his little darling, "Okay."^^^
Hiroshi thinks to himself, "Okay, pull yourself together. Be a man. This is supposed to be a proud moment. There's nothing to be afraid of, come on." And with that thought and a breath from his cylinder, he marks his first footstep on the foreign land. Little did he know, footsteps of death was only the little far from him.
Death was not always from him, it was all around him. Rather than 'it',the pronoun used should be 'they'.
He looked back to check on his little brother, and saw Hayate get down too. And then turned and continued in relief.
Hiroshi was busy exploring the whole new continent. He had only collected some pitch black sand and tried jumping till now, than he heard a scream-
"HIROSHI!!"
^^^"Huh?!"^^^
...It was Hayate, he screamed in pain calling for his brother for help. Hayate was seen kneeling on the ground, trying to get up but he couldn't. It was as if an unseen force held him tight ...
...Hiroshi looked all around him searching for the rocket they came on, but it was NOWHERE to be found. ...
^^^"Hold on Hayate," He said a paused not knowing what to do.^^^
"Brother, there is no use finding the rocket. It's gone." Hayate stammered.
^^^"How come?" Hisoshi asked in absolute incomprehension, while going towards Hayate.^^^
...Hiroshi walks carefully towards Hayate and holds his arm....
^^^He asks while helping him get up, "What happened to the rocket?"^^^
"I don't know brother, after I got down, it just disappeared when I looked back. I think I saw a last bit part of it, just a small piece of the last on the ground. Maybe it sunk--"
...Hayate was interrupted by the unseen force. It pulled him backwards, away from Hiroshi....
^^^"Hayate!"^^^
"What are you?" asked a scary voice from an unseen source.
"Hiroshi, behind you." stammered Hayate telling Hiroshi to look back pointing at the direction from which the scary question came.
^^^"Huh?" utters Hiroshi not knowing how to react to the creature he just saw.^^^
^^^"What are you?" He simply questions back.^^^
"I am the almighty ghost of this land. What an absurd answer kid, questioning back."
^^^Hiroshi thinks to himself trying to bury his fear, "Ohh, so aliens exist."^^^
^^^"Where is our rocket?"^^^
"That metal thing? I ate it. It was so tasty." Says another of the same so-called 'ghost' looking creature coming from behind.
...Hayate looks behind him to see where this other voice came from, only to see that creature with steel crumps near it's mouth and it's holding Hayate tight....
"Ahhh!!"
