Missing Astronauts Timeline

:Page 1 - Build down:

Elsie then goes to the guy who's sitting on the ground and puts his hands together at the back and she uses her power to knot the chains back.

They were surprised when the red hair with the moustache guy speaks, -Please let us go.- while Espen side hugs him, but he argued, -Why are you here anyways?! Look what did you do to me?- looking at him he is covered in scratches, and the guy with bruises.

Jerry is concerned and stand up to check on them, -Wait brother Espen, let him speak. You, what is your motive?- he asked, and the red haired guy just stare at him in a minute and looks down sadly, -The orb, we keep asking and praying to God but I just know that...- also Liam came to listen to him, -I-i just know, in his plan. For our protection, we can't have it. For our country Sitaw government, from the planet of Agwamarina Mitos. We are under their government, and... I'll say that we are making ends meet.- he said and Espen start to not judge him.

so Liam is confused and asked, -Wait, sir. You all have your own orb in each planet...what's the matter?- and his brother replied to him, -It's not what he meant, Liam. Since you are under the government there, buddy. Now it's hard making ends meet, what is your job then?- and Elsie help the one eye guy to stand up, as over here the brothers agrees on what Jerry said.

-We are research Astronauts, our job is hard. But our income there is high, so many tried that opportunity.- the guy answered, as he looks at Liam who is writing it on a floating gold paper, and asked, -How many are you?- so the other guy who is now one eye answered, -Six of us.-, yet Espen asked, -Why are you here then?- so the same guy replied and looks at his friend, -We want to make a great discovery— his sentence has been cut by hearing a heavy metal music only an instrumental one.

Coming from the target house, as they see a kid holding an electric guitar on her, running away from a woman in blue short hair.

The brothers and sister spotted it as their young sister Alicia is getting kidnapped, but they are irritated by the loud sound the electric guitar is making but both of the guys signals each other that it's time to escape.

-Philip! Posro. To the wilderness.- The woman yelled, and it shows that the light turn on in the houses; that is people somehow woke up.

-Sister Alicia turn that down!- Liam shouted but he sees that she is now far away, as they cover their ears, -Shoot! Prisoner on the loose!- Elsie shouted, as she chase them.

The brothers hurry up and follow her, while running they could not catch up, and stop for a while, -Okay, is that their discovery?... To take our young sister away?!- Jerry argued and is mad at those living. -Alicia didn't notice us...Somethings up.- his sister said in exhaustion,

-Let's just split up and go to the shortcut.- Liam told them and they agreed, brother Espen with young brother Liam on the left, and while Sister Elsie with brother Jerry to the right.

Wilderness they came through, and luckily the two brothers hear music from a distance, and they stop to check where it is from.

On the bushes they hide and take a peek to see, their young sister is surrounded by the people from earlier.

-There are three of them, brother Espen. We must help her!- Liam hissed, but his brother doesn't let him.

-Watch, we might be attacked by Alicia's power.- he said, so his young brother doesn't get it.

Meanwhile at Alicia the three people slowly walk near her, while she is holding a electric guitar she switches her instrument.

She is a musician angel; specifically so you heard what it does, as well as it can change instruments and make music, for distraction and attacks but it needs to be practiced.

She chose a harmonica that surprised them, -Okay little girl come to us.- the woman said, as she is convincing her, but Philip said,

-*Pff Posro,that kid wants to play to us.- and his another friend replied instead, -Well I don't think she's playing just for fun...she seems serious.- that makes Philip looks at Hạnh Huệ for he is surprised,

So he asked, -W-what?!- then he immediately looked at Posro, as well as the another friend.

They were scared to see that their friend is like a puppet and is controlled by an instrument: holding an Acoustic guitar.

Their friend is afraid too, because it's forcing him to play it, so the two standing turns back to the little girl only to see it was smiling.

"It's nothing to her? With that sweet smile...I should prevent it." The woman thought and while the young sister pointed out to Philip and said, -You mister! Perfect for a band, I need a little practice with these.- and a floating glowing gold instrument pops up in front of her and she chooses which one...and picks the pedal steel guitar.

Afterwards she grabs it and tells Philip to catch the pedal steel guitar, as he is still surprised and catches it even when you don't have to.

But he does, as holding it he was controlled by the pedal steel guitar, also young sister Alicia provided a chair; in fact it is like a piano but now a string.

By the way the pedal steel guitar has a pedal, so there in the brothers view it was horrifying, and they talked in a whisper, -Look what Alicia chose, last.

A Fiddle for that lady, uh I don't think Alicia's Harmonica could match the string instruments?- Espen asked,

So his young brother replied, -No, maybe there's a solo part. I don't know, as I see I'm not even a musician but...I guess sister Alicia choose random.- as he is scratching his head in no idea.

They start playing, so brother argued, -Liam, I know you knew your young sister. I sometimes see a musician angel do that but I just leave and...do my duty.- yet Liam doesn't get it clearly, -What do you mean?- he asked,

and his brother sighed and said, -I mean, like what's the full part of her duty? When is the attack gonna happen?- in that young brother finally realized, and replied,

-Oh! Brother Espen, that's the attack. The only thing to stop it is to also attack the lead.- and that leaves Espen thinking, and turns to see the scene in where they are now playing.

Caught attention at the lady who is not scared, and is doing something. She is looking towards young sister Alicia, so that makes it questionable, and seeing a floating wood stick on top of Alicia.

-What is that Lady doing? I mean the power she has is cool.- Espen said, as his young brother is listening, and added, -Yo Alicia doesn't notice that? Yeah when she plays, she really focuses on it. You know Brother Espen, when I came past she was surprised.- he smiles,

And still Espen glanced at the scene where the stick now hits Alicia's instrument as it falls down.

The young sister now loses focus and looks down to pick up the Harmonica, and during that the friends weren't a puppet anymore and have stopped playing.

The lady who is Hạnh Huệ—alarms the dudes, -Leave it behind, lets get her.- she said, as they look at her and somehow understand it.

Philip got off his seat and walks in a hurry towards the young sister, then transforms into a bird, and it sings while flying around Alicia to make her distracted.

That got the one eye guy a chance to run towards her also the Lady, and the guy sits and hugs her tight, while the young sister couldn't let go and keeps hitting him.

Back in the bush where both of the brothers and the young one wants to intervene but his big brother stops him using his arms.

-Wait, we are not ready. Besides Liam, how will you attack? I'll make a distraction first.- he told him as he walks to the right where it is near the friends, and he is hiding too even when Liam follows.

:Page 2 - Get them!:

Behind both trees they are hiding while standing, so Espen takes something out of his pocket, and shows it to Liam, as he hissed, -Hey! This smoke might do.- and the young brother just looks at him in disagreement.

He throws it anyways, and the smoke grenade rolls straight to them, but the cardinal bird senses it already and tweets to tell Hạnh Huệ—pointing where it is and the smoke booms!

They cannot see, and that's where she already has big rocks floating behind her and she looks at it to turn to the target; that is by her hands to guide the rocks, and throw them.

Liam got knocked out by it and the friends view that he is lying down, but with a paper plane hits them, in Posro's mind it is speaking, "Do not fear! You are not alone yo!".

It affects him but he stays strong and sees that the little girl isn't hitting him anymore, so he touch her shoulder and push it only to see that her head nods, so he thinks, "I clearly can't see, but I guess she is asleep. *Yawns I'll go back to the spaceship. The crash one." And he tried to piggy back the young sister and it worked.

He stands up yet he steps back where Hạnh Huệ is, for she dodges some attacks or even blocks it from...Espen, which he used is a baton, but she too attacks and step up, as she somehow sees him and does a round house kick, causing to hit his body so hard.

The bird flies up to see where their other friend is, and comes down on the ground to transform back into a human.

-Hạnh! I don't see them, Let's just go.- he yelled, as he convinced her but saw them fighting, so Philip ran towards the enemy and pushed him just like earlier, and him saying, -Go! I'll follow.- he yelled and Hạnh Huệ is watching worried, so she runs following Posro. On the ground they are in, as Philip about to stand up in a hurry Espen makes him trip and on the ground again.

From there he immediately arrested him, a handcuff he got from sister Elsie, so Philip's arm is put together on his back.

Espen called his young brother, who is now conscious, and said, -Liam! Could you call the two and let's bring him to God?- so from that the young brother understood it and used his powers.

While running Hạnh Huệ is trying to catch up to her friend, and it's kinda hard because they are in the woods.

-Wait! Wait for me, Posro!- she shouted, as she saw him slowly run to the right, and she somehow catches up but is a distance behind him, and he said, -Let's hurry, Hạnh! The spaceship is just at the center.- as he turned his head back a little, and she agrees.

However she senses and hears a footstep behind her because of the fallen leaves on the ground, so she thought, "Why does it look like? There are many of us?" and she suddenly look behind her.

"A light? It's floating...oh, it disappears." She thought as someone touch both of her ears that it was so hot, and she is shrieking also it is behind her.

It feels like a coal fire put into you, and she only heard Posro saying, -Hey! Sofia, what are you doing?!- until her hearing is gone and starts to cry.

The hands let go of her and Hạnh Huệ turn back to see her friend who is concerned, and sees her tattoo on her face which is the color gold and it lit in it.

Slowly disappearing—Posro runs towards them and grabs Sofia's shoulder, to push her away, and argues at her, -Pia, are you out of your mind?!-

So she replied, -Sorry Jirou, I just need to get rid of something.- she couldn't look at him, and that makes him question, -Huh?! Is that what you want? You burned Hạnh's ear! *Sigh- he is in disbelief, and Sofia said, -The others are at a fight with those two angels, and...there they go.- they see the remaining members coming but Philip wasn't there.

In the fight between the angels and the remaining squad members.

Where the two run away, and while the angels let them go, they discussed, -Sister Elsie what do we do now?- Jerry asked, and while she holds and read the big paper that was sent to them, it reads

"Dear siblings, I will announce that one of the members from our livings has been arrested and you must see this. He is the red haired with cool mustache guy, I vote for. Present yourself. Love, Yo brother Liam." In that she got an idea, and looks at her brother with a smile, -Brother Jerry, you must spy on them, you look like Philip? I heard his name.- nor does Jerry just look at her, and his face is turning red.

-Eh, what happened to you, are you embarrassed?- she asked, and her brother came into his senses.

-Y-yeah, yes...but how do I do that?- he asked, and his face isn't red anymore. -Hmm...I know let's cover your head with this big cloth.- she said as her brother gave it to her, and said, -Perfect! It's a silk one, and I hope I can remember how to tie this. Could you sit down for a moment? You're kinda tall.- so Jerry did sit on the ground and while his sister put the cloth on his head and wrap around it, to put up a style.

After that she said, -Finished, just to hide your hair. A good durag here!- but her brother asked, -Are you sure? I don't look like him, by the way I just shaved my little beard, Elsie.- he is unsure if what they are doing is right and not suspicious.

So that makes Elsie think and go around in front of him and sit on the ground too, and ask, -Can you put down your mask? Also take off your coat, I know Philip wears a tank top over there.- so when her brother does it, she is excited and holds his hands.

As she let go and said, -You know, the devil actually disguises itself.- therefore Jerry is surprised, and said, -No way, I shouldn't be doing this, Elsie.- but she begged, -Please, it's not what it looks like. You are not the enemy, but I'm doing this just for evidence of what the livings are doing here.- and her brother is in disagreement with her, so he put back on his coat.

He walked out and in the distance he stopped, as seeing that Elsie was looking down earlier, "I know that she mostly failed her duty at all, that's why she is doing this. I read the news, she didn't catch and killed those monsters, more like she isn't tough...Well to prove them wrong." He thought and turned back walking towards her, and placed his hands on her shoulder, that makes her look up.

They stared at each other, and he said, -Alright I'll do it, tell me how, Elsie.- in that she is happy and told him how to act. -I don't know you would do that birdie~...I mean you have your little beard back.- she grinned.

:Page 3 - They thought:

They use their knowledge and skills to make the little rocket work again since the Storm X had crashed.

Posro lay down the little inside the the little rocket; in fact only one person allowed to fit in. He close the sliding door after putting a seatbelt on her, as his friend Nikki pull the little rocket to make it stand.

She open a glass little cabinet; that is attached to the side near the door of the

rocket. Inside there is a circuit breaker, and she pull the lever up. The rocket engine has started even, she turn on three switches. The down part of the little rocket where a thick smoke got out, started to. At that moment she closed the glass cabinet which is actually a panel board.

Philip but it's actually a disguise came to a short cyan hair lady sitting and behind her is a big rock, which she leans to. He sits down infront of her to check her condition, as he thought, "I see that she is at second degree burn. Seeing those blisters, it's not that critical." He smiles at her, yet she is confused, and asked, -Philip what are you looking at? I can't hear anymore, so I don't know what are you saying...wait, what's that thing in your head?- but in response the disguised Philip brings a notebook out of his bag and starts writing on it using a pen of course.

He then show it to her, same as the little rocket starts to rise up and flys away. It caught Hạnh Huệ's attention, so he pats her arm, by doing that she notices him.

She puts down her hand that use to cover her wounded ear, as she stares at it. -Trust you? Wow it's the first time that you're gonna heal me. But your wife's gonna kill me.- Hạnh Huệ has doubts in her face, and Jerry who disguised as Philip is confused and turn to another page of his notebook and begins to write.

-She's looking at us, you could just leave, Philip...I'm okay here.- she told him, but he turn the notebook and it reads, "Sorry, I just got hit in my head, may I ask who is she? My wife?" So Hạnh Huệ stares at it and answered, -Oh right, it's Sofia Acheampong-Arevalo, and your name Chris Philip Arevalo. Um...she's coming.- The Kinh Vietnamese girl said, as 'Philip' turned around and seeing the squad approaching them, also he turn back looking behind the bushes, "It's Elsie! And others came? Okay." He thought, as he writes the final sentence in his notebook and shows it to her.

Hạnh Huệ reads it and her eyes widened like is surprised, -You're gonna heal me with fire? What if I hit your head again, so you gain consciousness. bạn điên.- she is mad and gives him that look. He sighed and rolled his eyes but she said, -Okay, but it's your fault if this gets worse.- so 'Philip' spread his arms a little and he breathes, soon both of his hands got firez and that makes Hạnh Huệ scared.

Mentioning that he put his notebook and pen back to his small bag. As she looks at him in response that he seriously nodded, and his hands slowly place in both of her ears, the hot fire, leaves her with closed eyes and begins to scream.

He thought, "I didn't practice how to get the deaf out of her, just like how to get off the blindness of that guy...but only thing I remember is to find where it was, so this gonna take longer." As he focuses on that.

However when he almost caught it, there a ginger guy he notices, and grabs his arms, to let go of Hạnh Huệ's ears, after that the ginger guy kicks fake Philip's other arm to let it go.

It was Charles who did it, and he looks at Hạnh Huệ seeing her ears completely healed, so that makes him surprising and blamed 'Philip' for it, saying, -That's not Philip! Imposter!- he yelled while pointing at him, who is completely stunned.

In that case the angels ambush the squad by arresting them. But the squad fights them, and during that Hạnh Huệ stares at the fake Philip as she holds her ear feeling the blisters is gone, as well as the pain. She thought, "Wow...it's gone, but I still couldn't hear anything but the voice of my mind. My speaking I can't. I'd like to know who are you." as she gave thanks to him, who is looking down.

Jerry who disguises himself as Philip, looks at her and see her smile. He heard her speak but in a different language, -Cảm ơn.- she said, yet he feels bad for not getting the deaf out of her but he is happy that a patient appreciates him.

Elsie ran up to him, -Thanks Jerry, you guard her and now to arrest.- she said, they look at eachother then she go to Hạnh Huệ and grabs her making her stand up.

Soon they heard God and his final say to the squad, -You will be separated from eachother and will continue to live back to your missed dreams and opportunities. You squad, Astronauts squad will still have memories but you will forget who they are. That is your chance to overcome evil.-
