"Three Survivors and a Coconut"
It’s been a year since "The doom" happened, a year of reconstruction and great pain for the three lone survivors, the beloved Koala, the ingenious but mentally disturbed Zebra, and last but surely not least the clever Hawk. This majestic trio suffered the loss of their homes, friends and family when a giant coconut known as "The doom" fell from the sky and destroyed every living creature on earth except for them.
The day the world ended this three met down the river, Koala had just woken up from one of his naps and had missed the fact that a coconut just destroyed everything he's ever known, but at that moment a bath at the river was the only thing on his mind. Meanwhile Hawk aware of the situation saw Koala from a distance and quickly plunged from the sky until he reached his future best friend and said "Oh my bird god finally someone alive, I was starting to think I was alone out here". They started talking and analyzing the situation and realized that the world has just ended. Minutes later Zebra arrived trying to find a solution to this problem, Koala approached him but before he said anything Zebra yelled "stay away from me you little thing" and kept saying how this whole thing was just a dream.
During the year after the apocalypse, Koala, Hawk and Zebra were working together to rebuild the world. They realize they acquired certain abilities they didn't have before. Koala is now able to reach things from over 100 meters from him using his mind. This useful power made Koala the one in charge of collecting food. Hawk got the ability of absorbing the smoke on the air. This made the Hawk the one in charge of cleaning the air. Finally, there was Zebra, who didn’t get any new ability, but his brilliant mind was better than ever, not so his mental problems.
Zebra was the one in charge of rebuilding the world, but his issues made him an object of fun for Koala and Hawk.
One day, just a few hours before the anniversary of “The Doom”, Hawk and Koala were joking that maybe the next day happens something similar. This time they didn't realize Zebra was arriving to their home, so he heard everything. Now Zebra was pissed with those commentaries and told them to apologize, but instead of this they laughed on his face and walk away. This was too much for Zebra, who decided to have vengeance on his two partners. His mental problems made him do something completely crazy. Zebra collected a lot of material he had store at his room and made a machine that supposedly was going to blow Hawk´s and Koala's rooms. For that he had to introduce himself inside the machine to avoid being killed too. He took a coconut from the food storage to eat while watching his enemies disappear. But when he activated the machine he appeared on the past, when the world was still populated by millions of animals. Zebra was completely confused, not knowing if it was a dream or reality. He suddenly looks at the sky and saw a giant coconut falling from the sky, like the one he took a moment before. That was the last thing Zebra ever saw. And the world.
