Lachlan was the first to wake up, at 6:30 am just to see the sunrise. On the island, it was one of his favourite times of the day. He would walk around the island and watch the sun coming up from the water, its light giving the water an orange hue.

He then went out and prepared some coconuts for everyone to have once they woke up. He thought about what they should do today since it was going to be one busy day. The rest of the group will arrive sometime today, giving them more hands to help the construction.

As for what they should build, Lachlan wasn't too sure. They were obviously going to have to build some houses, but the design of the house left him at an impasse. He was thinking of building a treehouse, as they were building at the centre, going high up the tree will give them an advantage, being able to see enemy attacks and observe the entire island.

Next was hygiene. As much as Lachlan didn't want to admit it, they were filthy when they came off the island. They never cleaned themselves properly with soap or shampoo, just water. Not to mention they never cleaned their clothes properly either.

All Lachlan could hope for was that someone amongst the many families would be able to solve that situation. There were a few ways that Lachlan thought might be able to work, but without soap, it didn't matter.

They needed someone that could create soap, that'll at least resolve one of their issues. But unfortunately, there were many more that needed fixing.

How they were going to expand was one of them. Since they'll be base on this island, there weren't many places they could easily get to. Australian being the only one, but even then, the Land Guardians and Sky Guardians certainly wouldn't accept their presence.

'If we could only change their minds' Lachlan knew how humans behaved. Some of them were stubborn in their beliefs, not questioning it for a second even when it is so clearly wrong. He also knew those two Guardian forces have a hatred towards them for some reason, if it had anything to do with intelligent beasts then they would be sorely mistaken by thinking hybrids were intelligent beasts.

'Why don't we just beat them into submission?' Catastrophe asked, a burning passion in his voice. He didn't necessarily want to help the children but fighting strong opponents and crushing them into the ground was something he wanted to do.

'Braw for brains, that won't change the opinions of the public, we have to provide evidence that'll turn their opinions into shambles' Calamity explained. Catastrophe was right though, if they managed to convince them with sufficient evidence it might just work.

Granted, there will always be those that oppose.

"Morning Lachlan, just thinking about what to do?" Chloe asked as she came out of her room. She walked over and leaned over, grabbing hold of a coconut before slowly sipping its contents down.


"Yeah, there's a lot that needs to get done quickly, hopefully, the others will arrive soon," Lachlan said as he slightly laid down, using his arms to keep him up as he stared towards the ocean. He noticed something in the sky, a small dot that slowly got larger.

"Well, ain't that a perfect coincidence," Chloe giggled.

Lachlan continued to stare before his expression slowly turned into one of shock. He could see the birds clearly alright, but he could also see something hanging below the birds as it was being carried. It was a tractor, being held by another one was a harvester and finally, there was a large sprinkler.

Simon along came swooping down near them. The high ranked stone was still active, and they landed in the zone, so nothing was affected when it came down. Lachlan looked up towards the birds and saw quite a few people on board.

The birds let down their wings to be used as a ramp, everyone began to get off rather orderly. Making it much easier for Lachlan to analyse and determine who's related to who.

First were Georgia and her family. Which seemed like a fairly normal family, having only a single child instead of 4 like his family. They also looked rather old but sophisticated, as though they've experienced many things throughout their life.

Georgia mother still looked rather young, having only a few forehead wrinkles. She was 6'1, making complete sense as to why she married Sam. She had short blonde hair and blue eyes. Wore short pants, ones that were loose around the ankles, and a tucked in white top.

There was nothing else that made her stand out, she seemed completely normal which was rather opposite to Sam.

Then there was Joe and Zoe's family. The parents were both fairly old. They looked like the old couple you would see tending the crops on their farm. 'Maybe they'll be our first farmers on the island.'

She was at a similar height to Simon, standing 5'6. She had long black hair, pales skin and green eyes. She wore a grey top and black jeans.

Then there was Phoebe and her family, she walked down the ramp and in front of her was what he could only assume was her dad. 'So he's the one I have to get through' Lachlan already began formulating a way to earn the father's respect and acknowledgement.

'Beat him into the ground' Catastrophe suggested. Lachlan couldn't be bothered with Catastrophe's suggestions anymore, they only revolved around beating someone or something down with pure strength.

--------------------------------------------------------

He was a tall, 6'5 man. Has no hair but a polished head, brown eyes and a short but neatly trimmed beard. Wearing casual clothes, tracksuit pants and a sleeveless top. He didn't really look like someone that's addicted to gambling, but certainly seems overprotective as he stood imposingly in front of Phoebe.

Lachlan looked behind her to try and see her mother, he knew the mother would be easier to deal with. Maybe even be able to help him get the father's respect. But after a few seconds, he realised something had gone wrong.

No one else came down, Lachlan could already tell what had happened, after all, it wasn't all that unusual for death to occur. 'Well, I suppose it's only natural for him to be even more protective of his daughter' Lachlan sort of understood the feeling that Tyler had.

After a mother and brothers died he was left broken, but still managed to push through all of that because of Sarah. However, with all that being said, he would kill anyone that hurts her purposely, after all, there isn't anyone else to take care of her now, it was just him.

"Hey Lachlan, hope you don't mind me bringing along some of the machinery, though it could be pretty useful," Simon said joyfully, he knew he had bested everyone now, no one would have thought to bring farming equipment to the island so quickly.

"I don't mind at all, just make sure you get through the caves in one piece," Lachlan joked with a smug. However, if Simon somehow did managed to break the machinery on the way there, he would never be able to live it down.

After that joking he saw a silhouette stand in front of him, the person used his height as an advantage as he looked down on Lachlan, casting a shadow over him. It was Phoebe's dad.

"So you're the one my daughter is dating," Tyler said intimidatingly as he analysed Lachlan from head to toe, "You don't look all that much."

Lachlan was wearing some rather casual clothes, it was slightly cold, so he was wearing tracksuit pants and a long-sleeved shirt paired with a hoody. Meaning Tyler couldn't see all of Lachlan's muscles, which although were small due to the berries, they were filled with power.
