"Are you sure you don't have cold feet John?" The coordinator asked as John adjusted his suit.

"Are you kidding?" John replied with a smirk. "Today we're about to make history!"

Humanity had all but given up on searching for life and resources in distant galaxies. Space was simply too big. Between the energy and time needed to travel that far, humans seemed just incapable of ever leaving their own solar system. That was of course until an accident at a science lab studying the effects of quantum/nuclear power tore a whole in the space time continuum itself creating a portal.

The science community was quick to change their studies when this new opportunity arose. Scientists from around the world gathered to send probes through the portal to study the atmosphere and properties. The delicate control circuits of these drones would break as soon as they entered the portal, however they were still able to transmit their findings upon arrival. From this data, scientists determined that the portal exited into some sort of alien jungle. The air was breathable, but it was almost unbearably hot and humid. Scientists could not gather enough information as daily torrential downpours and earthquakes would break the delicate drones entirely. The science community needed something tougher to survive.

It had been almost a year since the discovery of the portal, and now John Stones; legendary explorer and seasoned survivalist, had completed his training to take on his most daring adventure ever. To travel through the portal to an alien land, in order to search for any signs of life or resources that could be used back on earth. It would be the first time a living creature had gone through the portal and there was a high chance he would never be able to return. That just made John all the more excited!

"Is the MTAGV ready?" John asked as he approached an engineer checking over his vehicle.

The Multi Terrain Anti Gravity Vehicle was one of the breakthroughs that made this trip possible. A large vehicle loaded out with innumerable sensors and harvesting tools meant that even a non-scientist like John could instantly know the value of any resource he had gathered no matter how alien. It held sufficient rations and supplies to allow John to survive the apocalypse, and was as armored as a tank. The true stroke of genius this vehicle provided however was the Anti Gravity chassis which allowed it to treat any surface it drove along as if it were driving on the ground.

"This baby could drive on the roof of a cave in Jupiter!" the engineer grinned handing John the keys. "The cameras are all working as well, and the news stations will be tapping into our feed for their report so... try not to do anything you'll regret. The world will be watching you know." "The world's about to become a much smaller deal!" John retorted with a smirk as he grabbed the keys.

John took in a deep breath before opening the door. "It's time!"

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

"Alright class! Everyone pay attention! Today is a momentous day!"

The teacher drolled on with his lecture as the AV team attempted to set up the livestream.

"Such a bore..." Lisa sighed as she twirled her blonde hair in between her fingers.

Today was a "momentous day" apparently, and because of that classes had been postponed to watch the livestream of some guy or another risking his life for some stupid sciency thing. Lisa didn't care... She was a liberal arts major. There were countless things she would rather be doing than this.

Taking a sidelong glance to her left she caught sight of Jack Carl, the class' most eligible bachelor.

"So many things I'd rather be 'doing'" Lisa smirked.

I a loud ring of feedback pulled her out of her fantasies however, as the livestream came to life showing the legendary John Stones on the screen.

"At least he's kind of cute." Lisa thought as she burrowed her head in her arms looking down at her lap. "Maybe I'll sneak a nap once everyone gets focused."

The crowds' cheers could be heard even without the aid of the intercom on the armored vehicle. People had gathered from across the world to watch John enter the portal.

"Like I needed more tension!" John chuckled as he turned on the ignition. Truth be told, John barely noticed the crowd due to his rising anticipation for what may exist on the other side. At what felt like a snail's pace, the MTAGV lined itself up with the portal. With nothing more than a knowing salute to the coordinator on the video panel, John slammed on the gas driving much faster than he was supposed to into the portal. John's whole world was filled with a bright light as his body was instantly transported an unknown amount of distance to the alien landscape awaiting him.

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

"What was that!" Lisa suddenly sat straight up as she could have sworn she saw a bright light come from beneath her skirt. She quickly attempted to regain her composure as she suddenly remembered where she was. Thankfully the rest of the class appeared to be too enthralled by the broadcast to notice her brief outburst.

As her heart rate settled back down, Lisa no longer felt like napping. Leaning back in her seat, she decided to see what everyone was so mesmerized by. As the blurry screens began to come into focus, Lisa shifted slightly in her chair. A small itch had appeared in her panties annoying her. "A hair must have caught when I sat up to fast she thought."

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

John opened his eyes to see a landscape like nothing he had ever seen before.

All around him, MASSIVE branchless light brown trees shot up into the sky where they curled and intertwined with each other almost blocking out the sky. The sky itself was dark and oppressive with a slightly pink tint. The atmosphere was heavy, almost like a solid cloud covered it. It must have been sunset, or sunrise, because the only light source was dim light coming from far in the distance which was heavily filtered by the pink atmosphere. John had seen pictures the probes gave back, but nothing could have prepared him for the utter scale of this planet.

"So this is what nature does when man's not there to destroy it." John marveled to himself in a moment of awe. A crackled voice from the radio pulled him out of his admiration however. "J-**-John! C-Can you read us John?" the coordinator's voice came in from over his radio. "We're getting the footage but we need you to confirm you can hear us!"

"I hear you loud and clear." John replied. "You have no idea what you're missing over there. Pictures do not do this justice!"

The sound of cheering came over the comms as the control center celebrated the first successful human to travel interdimensionally and live.

"Alright John." the coordinator replied. "First we're gonna need you to-" "I'm gonna go outside!" John interrupted getting up out of his chair.

"What!?! No! That's suicide John! You can't! We have a million tests we need to run and..."

The coordinator continued his scolding but John was no longer listening. He had already confirmed that the atmosphere was safe, and that there was no imminent threats on radar. Besides. This was the entire reason he was sent in the first place. Because there are some things you can never understand from behind a screen. There are some things you need to experience.

Pulling the heavy handle at the back of his MTAGV the door opened letting him be the first man to walk on this virgin soil.

"He's a rebel. I'm liking him more and more!" Lisa smirked as she watched the explorer leave the safety of his vehicle to terrified shouts.

Lisa's interest had finally been caught. As soon as the feed came through and she saw the amazing high definition shots of the alien landscape she couldn't look away. She wondered what it would be like to walk around on that strange planet. What it felt like to see trees larger than sky scrapers all around you. An entire city could probably live inside those trees and they wouldn't even start to settle it. She wondered if this was what the earth looked like millions of years ago. Her imagination was going wild!

Lisa shifted in her seat again. The itch had died down a bit, but it was still there. If she weren't in class she would've checked or at least scratched herself, but while her outburst went unnoticed, she was currently surrounded by tons of horny guys who would definitely comment if she "Started to finger herself in class"

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

"It's soft!!?" John exclaimed as he took his first step on the white alien terrain. The ground was soft, almost like it were made out of some strange moss or fungus. It added an extra spring to his step.

John's boots were equipped with a slightly weaker version of the anti gravity technology found in the MTAGV so he had no fears of falling off. Even still, he didn't fancy the long walk it would take to climb one of the massive jungle trees surrounding him, nor the consequences if he were to make a mistake and fall off!

The air was musty and warm. A strange yet somehow familiar scent filled his nostrils though he couldn't place it. In the far distance he heard low rumblings almost like a constant rolling thunder, but the thick pink atmosphere made it too muffled to make out how close or far it was.

Pulling a hatchet from his hip, John walked up to one of the massive trees. He knew he couldn't topple an entire tree by his own strength; indeed the consequences of doing so would probably be disastrous to him as not even the heavy armoring of the MTAGV could handle a tree that size falling on it, but he wanted to gather a sample to analyze.

With all his might, John swung his axe. The axe struck the tree only to be sent flying without leaving so much as a dent! The tree was as hard as steel if not harder! Yet surprisingly the tree did sway far more than he had expected.

John had always had a delicate sense of touch. Placing his hand on the tree he marveled at what he felt!

The tree wasn't wood! At least not like any wood we had on earth. The bark felt silky to the touch and the whole trunk swayed easily with even the slightest bit of force. This tree was ridiculously strong, yet also incredibly flexible. Such a resource could have countless applications if only they could harvest it!

John let the mighty tree sway lazily back and forth above his head thrilled at his discovery. He let go quickly however as he saw trees in the distance start to sway far more violently.

Looking far above his head, John's heart stopped as he witnessed a titan insectoid creature running towards him. The creature had multiple legs like a crab, and used massive hooks on its arms to manouver itself by grabbing onto the giant trees all around it. Seeing John, the creature leaped towards him at a speed that such a giant creature should not have.

John rolled out of the way just in time, grabbing his wayward axe from the ground. The soft terrain shook like ripples on water as the creature landed.

John knew he had little time to act as the massive creature turned towards him. Grabbing his axe with both hands he threw it with all of his might. The axe flew several meters hitting the creature straight in the face before it bounced off without the creature's face without so much as a dent. John had been twice betrayed by his once most reliable tool, but he was not yet out of options.

Checking his surroundings, John activated the emergency laser canon targeting the massive beast. He only had one shot with this weapon, and he would be in trouble if there were more creatures like this nearby, but at this point it was his only chance of fighting such a heavily armored creature.

Hitting "Fire" the MTAGV shook on its chassis as the powerful laser shot directly at the monster. John's heart sank as the laser initially hit with little effect, however the shot had a 4 second duration and it wasn't long before the laser managed to burn a hole through the mighty carapice and even shoot through a massive tree behind it. The whole earth shook as the beast and a massive tree fell to the ground as if the world itself had been hit by the strike.

Lisa shifted again in her chair as she felt a slightly stronger irritation beneath her panties. It did not garner much attention however as the battle on the screen had left her speechless.

"Maybe I DON'T want anything to do with such a scary place!" she thought to herself as she watched the explorer tiredly limp his way to the massive insect. Perhaps it was the tension, but she could almost swear she smelt something burning nearby when the laser fired off.

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

John scooped some of the innards out of the carcass of the giant beast to take back to the MTAGV for analysis. The creature seemed like some sort of lovecraftian horror, but, he was alone on an alien planet. While he had rations, he knew it would be better if he learned how to survive off the land.

Climbing into the MTAGV, John poured the innards into the matter analyzer before flopping back into his chair.

"You are going to send us to an early grave!" the coordinator barked over the radio.

"Don't worry, I'll probably send myself to one first." John retorted exhausted.

The results of the analysis came back. The creature had apparently seemed to be a scavenger which lived off the remains of dead flesh. While not exactly appealing, it was a high source of protein and could probably be cooked and eaten safely.

"I'll have to gather and preserve it for later then." John mumbled to himself as he turned off the screen. "Probably best to wait until the news reports are finished watching me however. Their stomachs may be kind of delicate to this kind of stuff."

"Please tell me you're done with adventures for today!" the coordinator barked back over the radio.

"Ya, I'm too tired for any more adventures today." John yawned. "I'm gonna call it for the night, but with creatures like that roaming around, I think I'll try to burrow this vehicle somewhere where it won't stand out as much!"

"Your call." the coordinator replied. "We still have some time left on the news report. We'll just use your shelter building for the ending."

John turned back to his controls and started driving closer to the trunk of the massive toppled tree. Looking up at where the laser had hit the tree, John noticed there was singeing but the trunk was not burning.

"I guess that rules out campfires..." he mumbled to himself as he scanned the surrounding area.

Both the trees and the ground were too tough for him to dig out by hand. In fact, even the MTAGV would most likely not be able to puncture the surface save for with the laser he had already used up. However the trees themselves had pierced the ground. Therefore John's plan was to take advantage of the hole, the tree had already made and try to wedge his camp in among the roots below the ground.

Flicking a switch, the massive drilling arm lifted off of the MTAGV and to dig right at the root of the massive tree.

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

Lisa jumped in her seat. This was more than a slight annoyance now. It actually stung! It felt like someone was pushing a needle against her pubic region. The broadcast was getting boring again, though the guys seemed fascinated by the large machinery the explorer was driving. It was the perfect opportunity to sneak away.

"Teacher! Can I go to the bathroom for a bit?" Lisa called out raising her hand. The teacher gave a dissatisfied glare her way in response, upset to be distracted from the broadcast.

"There are only twenty minutes left to the broadcast. I am sure you can hold it that long. We are literally watching history being made right now!"

"Stingy!" Lisa scoffed leaning back into her desk. The pain wouldn't stop. It was getting worse.

Looking around, the room was dark, and no one seemed to be looking at her. As subtly as she could, Lisa reached her hand under her skirt and began to scratch at the itch.

John had heard that this planet faced some strange and intense environmental disasters, but nothing could have prepared him for this. He had been finally starting to make progress on his drilling when the dim world was flooded with a bright pink light. The ground beneath him began to shake and loud crashing was heard in the distance as behind him it looked as if the sky itself were falling, knocking down trees as if they were as light as hairs!

"John! Get out of there!" The coordinator cried out over the radio.

"Flicking switches, John spun the MTAGV around and floored it in a desperate attempt to outrun the massive avalanche.

"Can you get back to the portal entrance?" the coordinator cried out. "If you can go back to your entry location, we think we can charge the portal enough to open it up for you to come back through again!"

"Negative!" John shouted in a mad fit. "That avalanche is headed straight for the site. I don't think I can make it there in time!"

There was a brief pause of ominous silence over the radio.

"Understood." the coordinator finally replied. "Find the first shelter you can spot. May luck be on your side!"

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

No sooner had Lisa started to scratch, then the stinging stopped.

"Must have just been a caught hair after all." she thought to herself when a new sensation arose.

It felt almost like a tickle. Like a drop of water trickling through her pubic hair towards her lips. While it was a little itchy, it was not at all an unpleasant itch. Letting her fingers glide towards the moving itch, she felt her face grow hot as her clit began to swell at the sensation. Shifting in her chair she rose a little as to better enjoy the sensation.

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

John drove as fast as he could swerving around the massive trees that kept swinging before him. He looked back in terror as both the massive fallen tree, and the carcass of the monster that he had killed came tumbling past him. Checking his instruments he realized the ground's surface was changing. If not for the anti gravity technology, he would certainly be tumbling along with them.

"What kind of natural disaster is this?!" John cried out. In all his years of survivalist training he had never experienced anything like this before!

John had just begun to assume this entire planet was nothing but this thick and musty jungle when far in the distance he saw the first sign of the landscape changed. It almost seemed to rise up of its own will. A massive red hill leading off of what looked like a cliff face. Gentle treeless white slopes rose up to the left and the right of it, but at the rate the avalanche was gaining on him, there was no way he could make it in time.

"Let's hope they weren't exaggerating about the strength of this anti gravity tech!" John shouted cranking the anti gravity up to full. The MTAGV grew sluggish to drive as the wheels began to sink into the soft ground, but as it hit the giant red mountain it began to drive up it like straight road.

"EEP!" Lisa cried out as a few disgruntled faces turned towards her.

"What is it now?" the teacher asked, barely turning away from the action on the screen.

"I-I really think I need to go to the washroom now." Lisa replied blushing at her outbreak.

The teacher sighed as he checked his watch.

"10 minutes. Surely you can wait 10 more minutes until the end of class. Do you really want to be the only person in the world not to experience this event?"

Lisa buried her face in her arms. There was some level of chaos going on during the broadcast and different experts around the world were commentating and theorizing about what could be the cause but she couldn't focus. Her nether region was on fire. The tickle had suddenly grown much more intense as it traveled painstakingly slow over her clitoris. She squirmed in her seat again as it traveled along her before entering between her now wet and separated lips.

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

John turned on his headlights as the avalanche had finally stopped pursuing him. He wasn't sure where he was. He wasn't sure which way was up and which way was down anymore. What he did know was that he had finally found a place of shelter.

John had found himself in a dark, moist, red cave. The ground itself seemed to eb and flow almost as if to an unknown rhythm. The only light that entered the cave aside from his headlights were the few rays of gentle pink light that made it through the narrow entrance. Light glistened off of a thick clear liquid that seemed to flow through the cave. While the ground was moving, it felt like a much gentler place than the surface had been. Almost as if the planet itself were rocking him to sleep.

"I guess this will be my shelter..." John thought to himself as he drove over the bumpy red road. Stopping for a moment, John went to the back to check his supplies. As he had feared, the water canisters had broken during the bumpy ride. He wouldn't last very long without some form of liquid.

Looking at the glistening red pulsating walls, John decided to analyze the local resources. Flicking a switch, a vacuum arm came off the side of the MTAGV and began to suck up a bit of the liquid to analyze.

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

Lisa shifted in her seat as it felt like something had latched onto the walls of her most sensitive area. All around her, the students were discussing what kind of material the planet must be made out of and how it looked like something out of a horror movie, but Lisa could barely hear them anymore. She was mentally counting down the minutes until she could run to the bathroom to let out all the tension building up within her.

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

The liquid smelt odd, but it was surprisingly nutritious for John's needs. In desperate situations he had been forced to drink his own urine in order to survive. In that regards this would be nothing. If only this cave had more of this liquid. He decided to drive a little further in to see if he could discover the source of the flow. Returning to his seat, he began to drive over one especially soft mound.

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

Lisa groaned in her seat. All the class looked towards her and the teacher shouted something but she could not hear it. The blood was rushing to her face at an incredible pace as her entire lower region was flooded with pleasure.

"I want it again." she thought to herself as she felt her favourite pink panties getting wet between her legs.

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

The whole cave shook much more violently than before as the creek John had been following increased in volume.

"Did I discover a fault line?" John thought to himself as he backed up over the same mound he had driven over before causing a stronger tremor to shake through the cave and the river to grow again.

Doing a quick scan showed that the cave, much like the surface, was built incredibly solidly and showed no signs of cave ins.

"This could work." John thought to himself as he flicked another switch on the dashboard.

The drill arm raised again, though this time with a jackhammer attachment. If the liquid was released by placing pressure on this section of the cave, John would confirm he could have enough to set up a long term base here.

Turning up the crank, the whole tunnel shook more violently than ever before as the jackhammer vibrated away on the soft surface.
