The Eucronia
(Episode 2)

“I’ve got it!” said Boozy all of a sudden.
“Tell us Boozy…..What’s your idea?” enthusiastically Myra responded.
“I think we better pray at the church” Boozy answered.
“BOOZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” yelled Rick and Myra at the same time.
“Fine….fine….I just don’t know what to do guys” Boozy explained with regret.
“Why don’t we discuss this with my father first? After all, he is the the highest authority here” Rick was trying to give an idea.
“Yeah…I agree with you, it’s the best thing we can do at the moment, we could really need an advise from an adult.
“Okay then…let’s go” then they hold hands and Rick push a button on his watch and they vanish as the purple light illuminates from his watch.

“Dad! Can we talk to you?” says Rick to his father.
“Can it wait son? I have something to do”
“No, dad, we have to talk to you now! It’s very urgent and I’m sure you need to know this” Rick’s persistence begins to get his father attention.
“What is it son?? And why all of you look so tense?? Is there something wrong?” Rick’s dad carefully asks the three scared young children.
“Yes, Mr. President. There is something very wrong and since you’re ‘the first man’ in Eucronia, you better listen to this” Myra explains with convincing tone.
“Okay guys, I’m all yours, just tell me what happened”
Then Rick begins to tell his dad the whole story. The story that began with 3 best friends trying to have some fun at the ‘silver lake’ where not far from there Boozy saw an unusual view and heard a creepy conversation from a group of people discussing an awful plan. A plan that threaten the existence of Eucronia and the present community.
“I always knew something like this will happen to our beautiful land, I just never thought it will happen so soon” says the umber one man of Eucronia.
“So Dad…what should we do?” Rick broke his father’s daydream.
“Hm…for one thing we have to be able to know their exact location. We know that they’re from ‘the outside’ but we have to exactly where they live and know more about their plan so we can be very ready when they visit us again”.
“But how can we do that Mr. President?” asks Myra impatiently.
“Boozy, Rick told me that it was actually you who saw them right? And you saw they’re using ‘cosmic transportation’, is that right?“
“Well, it really depends on what you mean by ‘cosmic transportation’?” Boozy answered the man with another question that makes his friends want to kill him.
“It means before they were gone there was a bright light illuminated..silly!! just like ‘the watch’ that we use here in Eucronia works.” yell Rick spontaneously.
“Oh…..they definitely used the ‘cosmic transportation’ then, sir” convincingly Boozy responses.
“If they use the same transportation system like we use, they are not the common people from The Outside because most of them do not use that system yet….so it means they are not ordinary people because they are much more advance then the common people in The Outside” Rick’s father is trying to explain to the kids what’s on his mind.
“But, Sir…it still doesn’t help us knowing their present location” asks Myra.
“No, Myra…..if Boozy can show me the exact location where he saw them…I can ask Mr. Mollin, my first man at The Eucronia’s Technology Division to track the ‘cosmic signal’ at that exact location at a specific time….I’m sure we can at least get the approximate area.”
“Okay then Dad….ask Mr.Mollin to come now!”
“I will son…..but I also have to gather some other Eucronia’s important men to discuss this matter….because I can’t decide anything until we have the a meeting….mean while I want you guys to keep thinking and come up with brilliant ideas that can help us to stop them”
“We’ll do that for sure, Mr. President” says Boozy too confidently.

While the 3 kids keep thinking….Mr. Rainfield enter his First Man’s chamber where a 'mega cosmic touch screen' located. Then he touch one circle on the screen where three cosmic tubes in blue color illuminate from the floor up to ceiling and as soon as another 4 circles on the screen touched, each tube transports a man.
“Good afternoon, Mr. President”
“Good afternoon, gentlemen…I’m sorry to ask you to come in a brief notice”
“It is our duty, sir.... do we have a crisis, sir?” one of them replied.
“Yes gentlemen, it’s a crisis indeed. I have just informed that we have a big threat to our existence here in Eucronia coming soon”
“A big threat? What kind of big threat?”
Then ….the story that began with Boozy’s desire to join his friend for a swim is being told to the 4 most important men in Eucronia after the president.
“So, after we get he signal…what should we do? You are not suggesting us to go there aren’t you?” the only man there who’s wearing a suit with no button asks curiously.
“Well, Mr Mollin …..in my opinion it is the only way we can get more information about their plan…..but I don’t think all of us should go since I also need some of you to stay and take in charge. I would need you to come with me Mr.Mollin since I am going to need your knowledge on their technology that we’re going to face there in The Outside….and while I’m not here, I want Mr. Raddick to be in charge with the help of Mr. Oliver. If any of you can come up with a better solution….please speak now….because I would really need some input from you.”
“Forgive me, Sir…I can’t see the need for you to go there and risk your life since you are the president of Eucronia, I think it would be best if you stay here and keep in charge and delegate this matter to one of us.” Mr. Raddick who kept quite the whole time, finally spoke up.
“No…I have to come and find out myself…..not that I don’t trust you…..but I just have to go there myself so that I can make the right defensive plan when I got back.”
“We understand. It will be a pleasure joining you to go there, sir. Do you need anyone else to go along with us, Mr. President?”
“Yes, Mollin. We’ll take along Boozy since he is the eye witness and ….. we may need someone with high skilled self defense. Who’s the best man we have here in Eucronia?”
“Well, Sir. If you request for the best, 'Strike' would be the one.”
“What?? Oh no…..not Strike……give me another name please.”
“You did request for ‘the best’, Sir and frankly speaking we do need ‘the best’.”
“Fine Mollin. You win! Contact Strike now!”


“Hello, Rainfield!”
“It’s Mr. President to you, Strike”
“Yeah…yeah…..Nice to meet you again,….. Mr. President!!!”
The person who just came out of another cosmic tube is not like the other people in the room………the tight blue suit and the grey boot, no button on the suit nor a watch on the wrist, surely make this person unique among them.
“Okay, Strike ….we call you because we need you….actually The Eucronia need you….so why don’t we skip ‘the hostile atmosphere’ and get to the point, okay? I’ll fill you in on the way.”
“On the way?? On the way where?”
“You see….we have a big problem………………………..……..
And while The Eucronia’s President starts to explain the situation, Mr. Mollin pushes a button on his watch and a purple light illuminates and in just seconds they reach their destination.

“Mom!!!!!!!!”
“Hi sweetie…..your dad just told me what had happened......we’re planning to track their location and find out more about their plan. We also need Boozy to come with us to identify them later when we reach the location.”
“Hey….I’m still the president here…I’m in charge…not you Strike.”
“As you please……..Mr. President.”
The woman with long blond hair replied with angry tone.
“Cut it out you two!..... Dad…you are the President of Eucronia and that means you are the first lady of Eucronia, Mom….. you guys have to stop this domestic cold war…..because as you know…..we’re in the real war here….the war against annihilation….remember????”
“Yes, Son…You’re right. Let’s go Mr. Mollin…we have to go to the spot where Boozy saw them and track their signal from there.”
“Wait…mom…dad…..Myra and I have to come with you.”
“Oh no…Son….you just stay here with Myra….you don’t need to come.”
“Yes, we do, Dad…. Look at Boozy! He’s trembling to death……we’re the only one who can calm him down…..trust me!!!
“Let them come, Sir….the witness really looks scared and he doesn’t want to let go his two friend’s arm.”
“Very well, Boozy….come yourself down…you may take Rick and Myra with you.”
The President finally gave up and off they go to where the threat began…somewhere near the ‘silver lake’.
“Okay…now let me track their signal…..it may take a while”
“Just hurry…Mollin…we don’t have much time”
“Okay….I got the signal Sir, is everybody ready??”
As everybody nod….the light once again illuminate but this time it takes a little longer than before.
And the story goes….

An X File (A John Smith Case) (by Rika)

An X File
(A John Smith Case)


“Hello again, Mr. District Attorney”
“Hello John, it’s a nice day, isn’t?”
“Unfortunately not for Mrs. Rayden”
“Yes, poor lady, he was her one and only son”
“That’s right, and a good boy too I may add, he always helps his mother with her house chores”
“I heard that Mr. Rayden also passed away recently”
“4 months ago to be exact”
“Have you asked her anything yet?”
“Yes, I have…. It was at 4 a.m this morning when she heard a strange sound from her son’s room. Then she walked towards it and found him on the floor, just lying there, not breathing and no pulse”
“The weird thing is that no blood on the floor or anywhere else, even on her son’s body, and it is getting weirder since the autopsy came up with nothing….. I mean nothing…..no wound….. no head trauma…….. not even a bruise.”
“That’s odd!!” how about any suspects?””
“I can’t really say for now, Sir, but Mrs. Rayden suggested me to speak to the boy’s girlfriend. She said they were very close. That’s what I’m going to do now, speak to that girl”
“You’ll do that John, you do know that I don’t have a case if we don’t have a suspect, don’t you?”
“ I’m very much aware of that, Sir. The autopsy and the Crime Scene Investigation is still on going. We’ll be in touch soon”

“Good morning, Miss. Knight, or can I call you Jennifer”
“Good morning Mr. Smith, and ‘Jenny’ would be fine”
“Alright, Jenny… I presume you already know what happened to Mathew?”
“Yes, I know….not in detail, but I do know Mat is gone now”
“I heard that you were very close, did you recognize anything out of the ordinary involving Mat lately?”
“He did tell me he had been having scary dreams”
“And what kind of dream would that be?”
“Very scary ones…each dream has different detail things…..but they all have the same theme”
“The same theme? What was it?”
“They all are about …..’the aliens’. I know that it may sound ridiculous to you, but they really got into his mind.”
“I had tried to tell him that they were just dreams, that there was nothing to worry about, but nothing seemed to work. And, the worst thing just happened 2 days ago. He showed up in my door step, trembling, and I couldn’t forget the look in his eyes that day”
“What did he tell you that day?”
“Once I told him to come in, made him some hot soup, and he got calmer, I asked him what happened….and he said that he just had the scariest dream that night, he said it even didn’t feel like a dream…. It felt very real he said.”
“What happened in that dream?”
“Like I said….he was very sure that it was not actually a dream. He said that night the aliens actually came to his room and told him that he was selected….and that they will come again and picked him up”
“Pick him up where exactly?”
“That part that they did not really explain he said. Oh, detective, if only you could see his eyes that day, they were full of fear. I was also very scared just by listening to him and I felt some of that fear myself.”
“I see, other than those dreams, did he tell you anything that will get him into a trouble?”
“He was a very good boy, detective, you can ask anybody who knows him…… he has no enemy at all”
“Okay Jenny, thank you for everything that you share me…..if anything new comes up, please let me know”
“Of course, detective”

“Hello guys, what do you have for me?”
“Nothing much we can find in that room John, just a bunch of finger prints, but just the victim’s and his mother, no third party”
“How about the autopsy, anything new from them?”
“They had been looking all possible ways of what causing his death……but they can’t seem to find any, they said it almost like he just suddenly stopped breathing and his heart stopped beating.”
“Excuse me??, that is something really new coming from a 25 years of experience expert like dr. Stone!”
“Hey, don’t sue us for any autopsy matter.... why don’t you call him your self?”
“I will…as soon as I recharge my cell’s battery.”

“Hello, dr. Stone, it’s me John, I’m calling for the newest information that you can give me about Mathew Rayden’s death”
“I’ve been trying to call you this last 2 hours, there’s something really strange comes up”
“Oh really? what is it doc? You got what caused his death?”
“That the thing, John, He is not really dead….. he is very much alive now”
“What do you mean his alive?? He was dead 15 hours ago”
“Well, he’s not anymore, why don’t you come and join us here, at The George Washington Hospital”

“John, thank you for coming, he’s in there with his mother, they are talking”
“He sure looks alive to me…..what’s going on here doc?”
“As much as I want to give you the explanation, John…….I really can’t! An hour ago I finished the autopsy ……you know like usual…stitched him back as he was……one hour ago I heard my assistant screaming like she just saw a ghost……but then I saw him..there..just standing…asking me where he was”
“Wait a minute, you said you finished the autopsy, it means you already gave him ‘the head and the ‘Y’ cutting?”
“Yes, John….just like usual…..and I stitched him back….but look at him now… he is breathing again, his heart is beating again, he is talking, …he’s well, John. It’s just a miracle”
“Okay then doc, I have to see him, I’m going in”

“Mathew? How are you feeling?”
“I think I’m feeling just fine, it hurts a little on the stitches though, but I’m okay I guess”
“Do you remember anything? Anything at all what just happened to you?”
“Well, I do remember trying to get some sleep in my bed, but the next thing I know, I was there in that room….full of surgery tools”

The Eucronia (Episode 1) (by Rika)

The Eucronia
(Episode 1)

“ Hey mate, let’s visit Boozy, I bet he’s still working on those wings of his”.
“Hah?, I can’t understand that boy, why in the world he’s working his heart out on something that stupid”.
“Well, let’s just go there”
The girl he calls Myra then push some buttons on her watch, and…. the bluish watch immediately illuminates purple light …. Then, in only few seconds…. They arrive at a yard of a house where a boy is busy with a pair of wings, not too wide but so well-shaped.
“Boozy ..my man! I can’t believe you’re still playing around with those things”
The boy who took the instant trip with Myra said loudly.
“Stay out of my business, Rick”
“But I think Rick has a point there Boozy, why do you have to go all that trouble fixing something that we don’t really need anymore… after all we do have ‘the watch’ that can take us anywhere we want in just seconds…. So we don’t need to fly around and waste the time”
“Well I don’t know Myra, I guess ……… I just love to fly”
Then Boozy got occupied again with his wings, while his two friends decided to have something fun to do at a lake nearby. The silver-colored lake is their favorite spot, since all the others have golden color.
“Let’s swim Myra!”
“Yeah….let’s do that, this is a lovely day for a nice splash”
Then they push one of the buttons on their shirt and …..they are in their swimsuits instantly. Not waiting another second, they both jump into the lake …… swim …… and splash the water around. It turns out that they are not the only living things in the lake that day as some other creatures join the fun moment. Fishes with colorful wings jump around the lake so high ….creating big silver splash……..so that make the day even better. But however…. it is still an ordinary day in Eucronia.

While the children are playing happily at the lake, a light illuminates out of no where in an excluded spot not too far away. As the light vanishes…six men and five women in iron vests appear. They have something on their hands …… a gun-shaped weapon….. it is the view that is not so ordinary here…..in Eucronia. They seem having a very serious discussion…. but what they do not know is that a pair of eyes are watching them, a pair of ears are listening to their conversation, and a pair of legs shaking trying to keep still and make no noise. The shaking legs then hurriedly on the move as the men and women vanish in a glaring light.
"Myra….Rick!!” ..... a shout in a whispering kind of way stop the children’s activity at the lake, and they decide to come out of the lake and approach the source of the shout.
“What is it Boozy?” And why are you shaking and trembling like that?” Asked Myra.
“Don’t tell me you got scared of those snakes again, no snakes here are poisonous anymore ….I’ve told you that million of times” Feeling irritated, Rick responded.
“No Guys…. No snakes will ever make me this scared.”
“So… what’s wrong then?” asked Myra again.
“Well, I was on my way to you …..and there they were ……in scary vests and with scary guns…Guns! Can you imagine that? those dangerous things are illegal here, right?”
“What? Who are you talking about?”
“Wait…..you haven’t heard the whole story yet”
“Spit it out already!!!” Rick yelled anxiously.
“They were talking about ‘annihilation’ “
“What ‘annihilation’? Rick and Myra asked at the same time.
“They are planning to kill every one here, in Eucronia…… and after that they are going to make a new community ….their own community….. a community with guns and no rules…. And the worst thing is a community without us…. the present community in Eucronia!”
“What?? ….you can’t be serious Boozy! Tell me that you’re just joking” said Rick angrily.
“Rick…I never gave jokes… not ever….and certainly not now”
“But…why? Who are they? Where do they come from?” Myra asked very worriedly.
“They come from ‘The Outside’……. A place where our ancestors came from…….I remember once my grandmother told me that my great great grandfather lived there once…..and at that time people there are violent and they hurt their own kinds with guns and weapons….then he and some other people including your great great grandparents discovered this world, “The Eucronia” ……our world. As pretty as it may seem at the very fist time they set their foot here….it has been getting prettier since they and their descendants including us have lived in peace and harmony.”
“Yeah….my grandparents also have told me that story…..but I’ve just never really believed it. They told me that things are very much different there in ‘The Outside’. Different trees, different animals, different people, but this is what I don’t understand, my dad tells me that ever since we’ve got the technology we need along time ago…..this place is untouchable for other people from “The Outside”….but if that’s true….how come they’re here now?”
“How should I know Rick?, I just wanted to join you guys for a swim”
“We have to do something about this….we just have to……but what?? What should we do?” asked Myra who wasn't really asking since she already knows that her two friends do not have the answer just yet. Then….all three of them think quietly and the story goes…here in Eucronia.
