"So, what do you think of our base?" Lachlan asked.
"It's amazing, completely out of this world. Those trees are huge, not to mention the mountain range once you get past the treeline," Johanson answered, her face still filled with awe and amazement.
"Great, well this is the island that your new labs will be built on. We'll actually head back to the labs beneath the hospital and salvage anything useable, that'll save us some trouble. And once that's all done we'll be heading off towards America, making stops along the way," Lachlan explained.
"Can I suggest a stop?" Johanson asked.
"Of course," Lachlan replied.
"Well, on the way to America apparently dozens of unique islands suddenly showed up out of the blue; would we be able to stop there to see if there are any unique beasts?" Johanson asked.
"Of course we can, our group's primary goal right now is to search for unique things that'll be of use to us. If you know where there are any other rare or odd places that showed up around the world inform Flynn, he's our organiser/planner, he'll be at the centre of the island," Lachlan explained. "Speaking of which, just so you know, the island's gravity is rather unique and we have our own defences around the entire island. I would suggest not leaving your designated area, at least not too far from it anyway."
"Will it be dangerous? What are the consequences?" Johanson asked.
"It'll be very dangerous, it's guaranteed that you'll die in an instant should you go too far," Lachlan explained.
"Oh," Johanson looked back towards the island against in a bit of a daze, wondering what type of defence the group put around it.
Lachlan nodded and brought her to the centre where Flynn was taking care of Sophie, he was playing catch with her to tire her out so he could take a nap. There hasn't been anything for him to do lately, aside from taking care of his daughter there's not been a single job.
Lachlan landed right next to Flynn. "Yo, got you a job to do. Johanson here knows where there's a lot of unique and odd places around the world and we need to plot them on a map and if you can, possibly create a flight path between them all."
Simon's eyes sparkled with joy, the workaholic quickly nodded. "Great, I'll get onto that." He turned to Johanson and introduced himself properly. "As you've heard, the names Flynn, I'm Chloe husband."
After he introduced himself and ran inside the house and brought out a physical map, it was rolled up in his arms. When he reached Johanson he sat on the ground and stretched and map out, weighing down the edges to make sure it doesn't roll back up.
"Alright, show me the locations," Flynn said. Johanson nodded and sat down next to him, pointing on the maps where everything was.
Lachlan saw this and shot off into the sky, leaving them to take care of what they were doing. He still had a promise to fulfil, he already felt bad for delaying to so much. Wondering if she would forgive him.
Flying through the air he landed back by the exit, Sarah was leaning against the wall pouting at the sight of Lachlan. She didn't even acknowledge his existence when he landed right next to her, although Lachlan didn't manage to catch a quick glance.
Walking up to Sarah, Lachlan lifted her up and put her on his shoulders. She very quickly resisted and started flailing about. "Put me down, put me down, I'm surprised you still even remembered the promise you made."
Lachlan was put in a tricky position, he had to navigate the rough waters carefully otherwise he might set off a bomb. "Of course I remember, how could I forgot the promise I made with my little sister; it's just that Big Brother Lachlan kept getting stuff thrown at him, I couldn't exactly just not deal with it."
He lifted Sarah off of his shoulders and held her in front of him, bringing her closer he hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry Sarah, I'll make sure to make it up to you as we have the rest of the day for fun activities."
"Really?" Sarah asked as she pulled out her puppy-dog eyes.
"Really." Lachlan nodded and brought her back up to his shoulders. "Now, what do you want to do first? Want something to eat? Some new clothes?"
"Something to eat, something to eat, I'm really hungry," Sarah said as her stomach let out a loud gurgle. They both lightly chuckled.
"Alrighty then, I know just the place," Lachlan said as he lept into the air, jumping over the wall and landing in the city. He began to lightly job through the streets, weaving through groups of people while Sarah was smiling widely at the sight of all the people.
She waved at some of them as they went past, some of which waved back while others didn't even notice it before the two were already too far away.
They finally managed to make it to Choripán Reyes, Joe and Zoe were still there keeping watch of everything. They were still eating some Choripán, every bite they took they were filled with joy. The food almost became an addiction to them.
"This is the place, we are now working together with the owners of the place to spread it across the world. So, let's go and get some to eat," Lachlan said as he walked up to the truck. There was plenty of people around, Joe and Zoe quickly ran around the city telling everyone that they're safe and the island is theirs.
It calmed down a majority of people, some people however, were still afraid, wondering how the group of people managed to get a floating island for a base.
"Boss so it's you, now you'll finally be able to taste my amazing cooking," Joseph said with a hefty laugh, he then noticed Sarah on Lachlan's shoulders. "Oh, so we have little Ms Boss here as well, suppose I have to bring out my A game, take a sit and relax, I'll whip something up that'll amaze your taste buds."
Lachlan was quite surprised by Joseph's transformation. Before he was a cold gang leader and now it wasn't an understatement to say he was a food performer. He entertained people watching him cook as he cooked amazing food. His communication with customers was great as well, always making sure to build friendly connections.
Sarah was also in awe, watching Joseph cook with such flare all the while communicating with constant customers. he had two helpers there with him, one was Valentina and the other was one of his bodyguards, the one that thanked Lachlan deeply due to his child's condition.
It didn't take long before Joseph finished cooking and they went up to collect their meal. The choripán was in a soft bread roll, lightly covered with herbs and vegetables. There was also some sort of sauce.
Taking a bite their mouths were filled with the choripán's juices, where were filled with spiciness and freshness. Lachlan had to give it to Joseph, he was certainly a great cook, no matter how surprising that was for him.
"It tastes great, no wonder Joe and Zoe are so entranced by it," Lachlan said, taking a quick glance to Joe and Zoe who were beside the truck. They had already got served another choripán, their faces filled with bliss.
He then turned to Sarah. "So, do you like it?"
Sarah nodded. "Yeah, it tastes great."
"Great, then next we'll search for some clothes," Lachlan said.
Sarah shook her head. "I want to try some more food."
A frown appeared on Lachlan's face. "Alright, we'll go try some more food." Lachlan then turned to Joseph for some advice, he didn't know where anything good was but Joseph should.
"Around the corner, there's a great bakery I recommend, that's the place where we got these bread rolls from, they have a lot of tasty sweets as well," Joseph said.
Lachlan gave him a thumbs up before putting Sarah back on his shoulders, they were both still eating their choripán as they walked towards the bakery. They finished their meal by the time they reached it.
Just by standing outside of it they were hit with a smell of fresh bread, doughnuts, pies, and many other things they didn't even know existed. They walked through the door, a little bell by the top rang out and someone came out from the back. It was a man, he had long hair that was tied up and placed in a net, he was wearing a black apron.
"Oh, hello, I know you; you're the one that really put Joseph in his place huh, have to really thank you for that, they were making the business a bit difficult with their rowdy group," The man said in a gentle voice. "The name's Ramirez, I'm the one that runs this wondering establishment."
He had his armed opened wide, in front of him was a glass display of everything they serve and behind him was a rach filled with different kinds of bread. In the glass display, there was a variety of fruit pies and small cakes.
Lachlan put Sarah back down to take a good look. "Anything you recommend?"
"Of course, I would recommend churros with a chocolate dipping, either that or the apple pie; both of them are absolutely delicious," The man with happily as he pointed towards the two sweets.
"Well take both of them then," Lachlan said.
"Alright then, these will be on the house, I'd rather not take money from my benefactor," The man said. "After you set that group straight they haven't bothered me since then and my business has been booming."
The man handed over two bags, one had four churros along with two containers of chocolate dipping sauce, the other had two apple pies the size of Lachlan's palm. He nodded towards the man. "Thanks"
"No problem, do come again," The man said with a friendly and welcoming voice.
"Will do," Lachlan said as he walked back out the door, Sarah trailing behind him trying to open the container with chocolate. Lachlan bent over and took the container from Sarah's hands, opening it quickly before giving it back.
Sarah took out a churro before dipping one end in the chocolate, she took a bite and a wide smile flashed across her face. It didn't take long before she completely finished the entire churro and Lachlan chuckled.
She took out another one and dipped it in before walking over to Lachlan, holding it in her hands. "You try."
Lachlan squatted down and took a bite, his mouth was filled with a rich and creamy chocolate sauce along with a soft churro. The sugar that coated the churro crunched as he bit down. Sarah dipped it back in the sauce before bringing it to Lachlan's mouth again.
Lachlan bit into it before taking hold of it and finishing it up. He looked through the bag in his hands and took out a small apple pie, he handed that one over to Sarah who slightly struggled to hold it.
They both took a bite at the same time and their mouths were filled with a fresh and sweet taste of apples. The apples were both soft but had a slight crunch to it, the crust on the outside was flaky and delicious as well.
Lachlan and Sarah then both spent the rest of the day at a nearby park, it had a small playground as well as a small creek behind it. Lachlan pushed Sarah on the swings before she ran off and made friends with a few other kids.
Lachlan sat down on a nearby bench and kept an eye on everything. He wouldn't let anyone ruin Sarah's happiness, especially while he was around. But fortunately, no one tried anything and Lachlan and Sarah headed back to the island.
The rest of the group has long since finished packing everything up, they also salvaged what they could from the laboratory. Zhang was also brought back onto the island, he's wounds had already closed he just needed to rest and not put pressure on anything.
Lachlan walked up to Flynn. "So, where are we heading to?"
He had left Flynn with Johanson to create a flight path they would be able to follow. He didn't disappoint, bringing out the map and showed the path they were going to travel. It went through every new island and a few old but slightly unique ones as well.
"Alright then, suppose it's time for us to say our goodbyes to Patagonia," Lachlan said. The rest of the group nodded.
Valentina and her parents were also brought onto the island, Joseph was left in charge of the truck in Patagonia, Valentina and her parents would be dropped off in America to start a food truck business there.
As for the journey to get there, it would certainly take a while. Lachlan commanded the island's stone to begin moving, they were heading northeast to where an island was spotted, said to have some sort of unique energy on it.

It didn't take long before she completely finished the entire churro and Lachlan chuckled.She took out another one and dipped it in before walking over to Lachlan, holding it in her hands. "You try."Lachlan squatted down and took a bite, his mouth was filled with a rich and creamy chocolate sauce along with a soft churro. The sugar that coated the churro crunched as he bit down. Sarah dipped it back in the sauce before bringing it to Lachlan's mouth again.Lachlan bit into it before taking hold of it and finishing it up. He looked through the bag in his hands and took out a small apple pie, he handed that one over to Sarah who slightly struggled to hold it.They both took a bite at the same time and their mouths were filled with a fresh and sweet taste of apples. The apples were both soft but had a slight crunch to it, the crust on the outside was flaky and delicious as well.Lachlan and Sarah then both spent the rest of the day at a nearby park, it had a small playground as well as a small creek behind it. Lachlan pushed Sarah on the swings before she ran off and made friends with a few other kids.Lachlan sat down on a nearby bench and kept an eye on everything. He wouldn't let anyone ruin Sarah's happiness, especially while he was around. But fortunately, no one tried anything and Lachlan and Sarah headed back to the island.The rest of the group has long since finished packing everything up, they also salvaged what they could from the laboratory. Zhang was also brought back onto the island, he's wounds had already closed he just needed to rest and not put pressure on anything.Lachlan walked up to Flynn. "So, where are we heading to?"He had left Flynn with Johanson to create a flight path they would be able to follow. He didn't disappoint, bringing out the map and showed the path they were going to travel. It went through every new island and a few old but slightly unique ones as well."Alright then, suppose it's time for us to say our goodbyes to Patagonia," Lachlan said. The rest of the group nodded.Valentina and her parents were also brought onto the island, Joseph was left in charge of the truck in Patagonia, Valentina and her parents would be dropped off in America to start a food truck business there.As for the journey to get there, it would certainly take a while. Lachlan commanded the island's stone to begin moving, they were heading northeast to where an island was spotted, said to have some sort of unique energy on it.
