Because the station we escaped from was in a desert, we were walking in scorching heat of the sand. I asked them if they found water, and Glen pointed out an oasis, it had 4 palm trees around it. I asked him if he can carry all the water like a floating blob. He asked me how, it takes an immense amount of energy to make that big thing float. I simply said said to take the gravity from Zxen. The team over heard Our conversation, all of them looked at me suspiciously. I asked them what was the problem, Jack said "Our powers are limited to objects just under 3 kilometres". I was shocked to find out, as the core of our planet is 65,113.9 kilometres away from the surface.

I then took a break and became more confused than ever from their statement, but it was no time to siscover something new about myself, we had to find the last atoms. I then took on the responsibility to carry the pools worth of water. It was fun, I put the water over my head as shade from the blue sun, Azul. When ruby saw what I was doing, she hit me pn the nape and I almost lost control of the water and dumped bit over pur heads. I asked, " Hey, what was that for". She said that the water would evaporate and we wpuld lose water after a while.

As I was arguing with her, at the corner of my eye, something shined. It was a rundown, abandoned Bubbli Factory, a brand of soft drinks. I then ran fast, towards the factory hoping for a bottle of bubbli. When I got there, there was nothing but broken machinery, and a bunch of aluminium bottles, and to my surprise they looked new, no rust, no dents, actually unused. I had another great idea, put the water in the bottles.

When I came back to the team, they were curious what I did there. I smiled as 200, 1.75 liter bottles floated in the air in a line. I then dropped all the bottles on the sand and nearly fainted because of the heat, added to the weight of 350 liters of water even if I'm not using my energy.

It was getting dark, Ruby suggested we take shelter in the factory. I grunted, because I was already from there, if she just had said that sooner, I would not have to waste energy and come back.

I was tired, I wanted to sleep. So I did. But before I slept, before I closed eyes, I saw something on the horizon, a car, a Peterbilt 379, with a semi trailer attached to it at the back, probably a working replica from earth, I guessed correctly, but there was something else.

There was a guy, it seems he is trying to steal it, or start it, because maybe it was broken. Either way, he is either will be friend or foe.

Well, there's only one way to find out.
