—Day 3
THUD
"Owwwww…" Joseph's voice could be heard as a big red spot appeared in his head…
"How long have we been doing this?" Robert asked, his face visibly getting more and more irritated.
"An hour." Ray Grisha's reply made these incompetent (Only incompetent without their powers and the comfort of technology)
—Francis
I remembered the days where we were just ordinary people living ordinary lives , that was the case for a very long time , until of course "The Change" occurred , many humans lost their lives while others were transformed into Remnants.
In a way—not being 'Changed' was a blessing , for a time at least , as there was a time where the Remnants were hunted by what people know as "The Silentium" of course that was a very long time ago.
Out of the 6 of us , only me and Joseph remained unchanged , One could see all possible endings , the other was a powerful ass physical demihuman , another with the ability to envision , the last capable of leading the world to the end.
Time continued to move on , Time changed , Herta's Society appeared , the speed of technology sky-rocketed as many geniuses from countless worlds appeared in this world.
Some called it a blessing, technology was rising rapidly, reaching a point where even immortality and revival were no longer a mere dream , others hated it , many lost their jobs , as language was united translators were seen as useless.
The same could be seen with those working in the tech industry , no ordinary human could even hope to compare with the speed these Geniuses learned , Ray Grisha was one of those people and he gained the ability of Envisioning
Drivers and the many countless jobs followed suit, as teleporters existed while they were still very much expensive for a time , as technology grew so did resources and soon teleporting became the norm.
In the end , there will always be losses and gains whenever humanity or in this case living beings evolve , and right now… We were thrust to return to a time of the past. Who knew trying to crack a coconut would be this hard…
WHOOSH. THUD
Joseph in his rage threw the coconut at a rock , hoping it would crack it yet it stayed sturdy as if it was never thrown , and as usual—
"BRO THIS FCKING COCONUT."
"This… is gonna take a while…"
—Reynold
"Remember when I said we should've gotten the others?" I asked Kiana , my entire body was covered in mud , my tone was quite literally pissed.
"Uhhhh"
"Don't UHHHH me , IF THE OTHERS WERE HERE THEY'D—Wait. Uhm."
"Go on , you know damn well what they can do without their powers." Kiana's reply made be realized that at this moment , they'd be completely fucking useless. What can Ray do with no Powers?
Robert's physically just an ordinary guy that can see possible endings , Francis and Joseph? C'mon man what the hell can they do in this situation , they'd make it worse…
"So what do we do?" My eyes gazing at the small Caiman as it looked at us , while it didn't do anything special I could tell that it was mocking me , I don't know why but I can just feel it
The Caiman : These 2 look so powerful my instincts are warning me yet they seemed so weak???
Those were the literal thoughts of the Caiman , it's primal instincts were warning it not to fight these seemingly 2 creatures yet here they are struggling and quite literally invading in its territory
At the beginning the Caiman was scared and was ready to leave the second they strike but right now they seem so weak… Maybe it should kill them and eat them for a meal , it would last a while.
KRKRKKRKRRK (I don't exactly know how Caiman's saw but I do know it's like a low frequency sound)
The Caiman's noise made both Kiana and Reynold look at it , as it slowly but surely came closer to them , in its thoughts since they were weak might as well kill them for food
Of course… just because they had none of their powers or enhancement doesn't mean their experiences are gone as a large grin could be seen from the both of them , the Caiman obviously oblivious to this continued to charge—
KRRRRRRRRKKKSWIISHH
The caiman lunged, jaws open heading straight towards Kiana , primal confidence radiating from every scale of its yet Kiana sidestepped it like it was nothing.
Not with supernatural speed—just the simple, practiced movement of someone who had been fighting things for longer than most civilizations had existed. His stick came down across the caiman's snout, not to hurt, but to redirect.
The creature's charge veered sideways. Where Reynold was as he grabbed the tail—the same technique he'd used on larger prey in his other body, the muscle memory intact even without the muscle.
CRASHHHHH KRRRRRRKKRKRKRK
The Caiman still emitting a low hostile growl but the 2 were unfazed , No communication was necessary between the 2 of them , as Kiana lunged forward to sit on its head , effectively subduing it.
Krrrkrkkrkrk…
The Caiman went trying its best to shake the 2 man off yet they failed as Kiana held on its head clamping it shut while Reynold was taking the wooden spear they had made in a hurry and
STAB
Krrrrk…
As the Caiman died , if one were to translate its last thought , there were none , in the end it is but a normal animal relying solely on instinct to survive , such is the law of nature.
"We—"
"WE DID ITTTTTT KIANA DAP ME UP" I didn't hear what Kiana was trying to tell me , after all , I never expected the 2 of us to kill this Caiman as normal humans with a lot of experience
CLAP
The sound of the dap was heavenly… Hmmmm—Aura farmer Sung Jin Woo and Piccolo would be proud if they were here—Anyhow
"Huff…" I said as I held the head of the Caiman while Kiana held its tail , it was time to bring our catch back to camp to consume…
—Francis
"BRUH THIS FUCKING COCONUT" As usual Joseph's scream was echoing as they had failed to crack this coconut , the sun had already started setting , so the question arises , how long have they been fighting this coconut-?
"Look at this piece of stone I found ," Robert said as he opened his palm showing a slightly sharpened piece of stone.
"We could use the pythagorean theorem to fi—" SWISH
Ray who was about to say something intellectual was cut of as Joseph took the stone with an insane speed for a normal human and screamed—
"DIEEEEEEEE YOU COCONUTTTTT" His scream full of rage as he thrusted the stone to the coconut
CRACK
A cracking sound could be heard , has the coconut finally been—NOPE IT WAS THE STONE THAT BROKE.
"…" All 4 of them were silent at this moment , as they looked at the broken piece of stone, the coconut? It was unscathed like nothing ever happened, seemingly mocking them…
"CAN THIS DAY GET—Huh? LOOK IT's KIANA AND REYNOLD" Joseph's words that were about to be filled with pure rage stopped as they saw the 2 waving their hands
"Wait. Is that a—" Robert said as he squinted his eyes , that did not seem
"CROCODILE??" Many questions filled my thoughts , was there a crocodile on this island? But it looked kinda small…
"Crocodiles aren't that small , either it's an alligator or a caiman" Ray as usual talking with pure logic perhaps trying to salvage whatever pride he had left.
"WE GOT A CAIMAN BOYSSSSSS" Reynold's voice echoed as his innocent looking smile seemed to beam uncontrollably
"TONIGHT WE FEAST LIKE KINGSSSS" Joseph's voice echoed even louder , damn even after all that screaming he's still going str—
COUGH COUGH COUGH
Nevermind…

Crackle
Night had fallen , the sound of a fire could be heard as a literal Caiman was roasted in front of the fire , it was slowly being turned by Kiana as Ray was guiding him on how long they should let one side cook.
"Ahhhhh—Freshh water" Joseph said , his voice was full of relief as his dry throat was finally blessed by the sweet and hydrating coconut water , the same could be said for Robert and Francis
"…" Reynold was just staring at them like they were dumb but of course he kept that to himself , on the other hand the smell of the Caiman's meat was truly appetizing.
"It should be done real soon " Ray's voice made the others salivate on the thought of eating the grilled Caiman , it was definitely going to be tasty as hell
"It's done , everybody dig in!" Kiana said they had finally finished cutting the alligator meat using a machete , why didn't they use it against the Caiman? It was funner , Kiana said.
The Caiman meat was still hot , one could even see the smoke coming as they had cut the piece of meat and placed it into a stone which was used to cook the Caiman on top of the fire
"HOLY SHIT IT TASTES GOOD , WHAT DID YOU SEASON IT WITH?" Joseph asked as he looked at Ray
"Salt. I boiled some sea water while you guys were busy 'fighting' that coconut" Ray said , his final lines giving a little bit of trauma from that immortal coconut.
"Damn bro , to think Caiman meat was this tasty and this was only with salt" again Joseph being blunt and giving his praise , the Caiman meat was indeed very tasty.
"Mmmmm—Tastyyyy" Kiana went as he ate a good amount of chunk of meat , where the rest followed suit ,
"FUck it's Hot" Francis said as he accidently burned his tongue , he was huffing his mouth trying to reduce the heat
"Here some coconut water"
GULP GULP GULP
Ray said as he handed Francis a coconut before huge gulping noises could be heard as Francis devoured the coconut water like he was the incarnation of gluttony—And of course
COUGH COUGH COUGH
"PFFFFFT AHAHAHAHA" Joseph was trying his best to hold his laughter back but alas he failed
"You drank to fast lmao" Kiana telling Francis as he continued to eat the grilled Caiman meat , for those of you curious , Reynold at the most as usual , the true glutton Mmm—Little Ica Aeon of Voracity incarnated (HSR meme)
"Btw how long are we doing this for?" asked Robert
"Hmmm I was thinking of doing this for a week but if it rains then we'll cut it to 5 days" an instantaneous reply coming from Kiana.
"God I hope it rains" Joseph instantly wished for rain so this survival island thingy could end faster.
"I swear to God if you Jinx it—" Francis said as he looked at Joseph
"You wanna go let's go Boy"
"Come at me bitch I ain't a scaredy cat"
"And their bickering again… as usual" Kiana murmured softly as both Francis and Joseph turned into Tom and Jerry ,
"This is quite nice though"
—Ray Grisha
"This is quite nice though" I said , it was a truly unique experience , one that I—no we've never felt in centuries perhaps even eons for some of us.
"Should we do it an—" Kiana asked , his voice seemed rather excited but was cut off by the one and only—
"Absolutely Not." Robert replied , than again he never really enjoyed doing this
"I'm joking~" He said , it was fun, don't get me wrong but doing this again? Uhhh… We'll see
"Well whatever, let's finish this Caiman today" The words that came from Reynold's voice as he was still devouring the Caiman meat was funny as he had devoured at least a third of the Caiman meat.
This was truly going to be a nice little feast right?

SPLATTER SPLASH CRACKLE BOOOM
The sound of rain and thunder could be heard as rain poured heavily as thunder struck
"Fuck this rain."
