2024-10-29 19:42:56The mother fortress looked like a massive, basalt rock in space - a clear-cut, uncomplicated structure, so marvelled Alec, Phil and Sanders. Like a nicely carved out piece of an asteroid that broke off.
They watched as the ship opened up to receive them, a huge mouth into what appears to be the hangar, beckoning them inside. Ava's ship had gone in first and the boys followed suit in their spacefighters, into this dark space tunnel. As the hangar gates begin to slid back to a close, effectively separating them from the vacuum of space as well as their pursuers which the Zhinra fighters had engaged on their behalf, the sound of machinery grinding and whirring invaded their senses, even in the comfort of their cockpits.
They all switched into their battlesuit mode and floated on, sans thrusters, towards the light at the end of the tunnel.
"Guys, I know this is pretty much an inappropriate feeling right now, but I am pretty much amazed to be inside an enemy ship rig

"Alec, No -" called Phil in a vain attempt to stop Alec.But Alec had already made his maneuver. He ducked and turned, avoiding the brunt of the spear that was pointed at his back, and kicked the soldier who was directly behind him above the knees sending it staggering a few steps back.Sanders, grinning, joined in the fighting stance. "C'mon, lieutenant! Three against two, it's gonna be a cinch. And we've fought hand to hand with these guys before, they suck.""You don't have to join in, Lieutenant, Sanders, but I am going to save Lindsey," Alec told them."Alec, you are a pain. Fine, let's get on with it," said Phil as he curled his hands into a fist.And the three men readied themselves as the two soldiers came at them...*********"They're trying to escape! They heard you, Lindseymiles!" Garullo was telling the girl what he is seeing in his mind's eye currently."They are? I'm gonna get rescued!" She cried gleefully. She could hear muffled thumps, groans, and yells from outside. I
Atlantis Chapter 37
The ship is a complex maze of rundown passageways. Lightings that lined the halls provide sparse and choppy illumination. The air is musty and the dark, stonewalls and floors dry. The walls seemed to be made of concrete instead of metals and stuff. If they didn't know any better, they would think that they're running around inside a very huge dark, dismal gothic castle somewhere in Scotland that seemed all deserted.Garullo was ahead of them with sure steps, his antennas moving and shifting about. Lindsey had to surmise that his navigating ability is rendered by those antennas---a biological sensor, or something more complex than that. Maybe they really are a race born to explore and navigate this universe more than any one else can, she thought.Luckily for the past half an hour they haven't run across any Zhinra. It seems that their escape hasn't been discovered yet as an alert is not evident. They locked the three Zhinras back in the chamber to make sure they won't

It was already evident in the air that the entire gargantuan ship had now been alerted of their escape attempt."They're everywhere now, in every path," Garullo announced. "It's becoming increasingly difficult to find a way around,""If that's the case, then we have no choice but to try and get past them," lead Phil."Yeah, the sword will do the job!' said Sanders.Phil grunted. "We should not underestimate them,""Well, there is no other way," said Alec."We can always engage in hand to hand combat if we need to," said Phil.They reached a narrow iron bridge that cross a wide canal of running water reservoir underneath it, to their sheer amazement, through to a staircase in the end.As soon as they made to halfway through the bridge, a lanky, walking machine of some kind with weapons for arms emerged from behind them and began chase fast. Alec knew he will have to stand in its way if the others are to make it to the other side."I'll hold it off! Go, hurry!" Alec shouted.Alec turn t

Ava found herself being escorted towards a close huge metal door. The guards then pushed it open, slightly illumining the dark room inside."You may enter," ordered one of the guards.She stepped inside without hesitation. The door closed behind her, engulfing her in darkness. She felt compelled to walk a little further and stopped when she felt she had to.Suddenly the lights came on---dim lights from a few hanging chandeliers above the ceiling. She found herself in a spacious hall. There was a large, round platform in front of her. Soon the lights went out, plunging her into searing darkness again.But there was something soothing to it all --- to this darkness. The detached feeling from the world, from reality, brought about a feeling of solitude to her. Hiding in the shadows had always been her solitude.Strange sounds came to her, the sound of moving walls. Then the room lit up once again, not from the chandeliers but from bright blue lights that flared from the center of the rou

Alec had followed her to this hall after taking out the two guards at the entry. He made some noise, waited at the corner, as one of the sentry came about to investigate the ruckus. He quietly pounced on the unsuspecting guard to unconsciousness and as the remaining sentry came looking for his comrade, Alec repeated the tactic. He then snucked into the hall and chanced upon this alien conversation in the hall where Ava stood. Obviously he missed a lot and could not understand a single word. Without much thought, he barged in and grabbed Ava's wrist by force, determined not to let her have her way this time. "Sorry, folks, she can't stay to chat," It was a dumb and futile attempt at rescue that he will mule about later. Ava Kinski had made it very clear to him not to meddle with her affairs, and yet here he is. He knew for certain that Ava is no helpless damsel. Yeah, she is not one anyone has to worry about. And yet he feels that she needs all

Ava took two steps into the chamber Lynx is depositing her in."We will launch at once," Lynx said from behind her, standing just outside of the door. "But it will be rough and shaky as we have only completed the repairs of this ancient ship after aeons of being immobile so I suggest you hold on to something as soon as you sense the ship's activations. Make yourself comfortable in here for a while. You will have better accommodations as soon as we get to Zhinradia."At that, the hatch doors behind her slid shut, leaving her on her own. If she had looked around, she would had seen an old sword monument that is now without its sword, but her eyes had quickly fixed to a sight in front of her afforded by a large bay window - this blue and white planet she's called home for millions of years floating lonesome in space.The floor beneath her feet started to whir, then jolted, causing her attention to shift to another large Zhinra command ship situated outside in pro

Leona walked into her first period class, choosing to sit somewhere in the middle. She found the desk she wanted and quickly rushed there. Taking her seat, she took out her composition book and a pencil, and waited patiently. The bell was going to ring in about one minute, yet the classroom looked . . . almost empty. The teacher didn't seem bothered by it either. The bell finally rang, and a few moments later, crowds of students came through the door. The classroom was so big that the desks were placed on these platforms that almost looked like a staircase from the teacher's desk. Students began occupying every seat in the room, and the teacher sighed as soon as everyone sat down. "Really now? First day back and you all are late?" The teacher rolled his eyes in sarcasm as the students joked with him. Leona was taken aback, as, in her old school, if she were even a second late, her teachers would get angry. She wasn't used to this more "laidback" atmosphere. "Well, welcome back st

Leona found herself walking into the Choir room anyways, quickly taking a seat next to Khloe right before the bell rung. "Hello students . . ." Mrs.Gloria sighed as she turned her head towed the cluster of late students at the door. Once everything was settled, the class began with Mrs.Gloria talking about the syllabus before suddenly grabbing a plastic microphone from her desk and passing it over to a random student. Oh no, icebreakers! "What's the point of these anyway? It's not like anyone will give a damn about whatever I have to say, they'll probably forget my name by the time school ends," Khloe muttered as she looked out towards the classroom window. Leona looked at Khloe and then turned her attention back to the other students to see who had the plastic mic next. Amores. "I'm Jaiden, I don't play anything," Amores said, quickly throwing the plastic mic over to his blonde friend. "Jaiden Amores?" Leona muttered to herself as she stared at him. He didn't sound mean or any

As Matthew lay there in the silent hut, the caretaker ambled about, digging through loads of ingredients. June sat there, staring at Matthew. The hut was warm and was bathed in light; the light was so strong it managed to travel straight through the walls of the med hut, flooding it to the brim. June started to feel a little tired as she let put a yawn. She slowly settled herself down to her side next to Matthew. She felt a little awkward though.As haven't been mentioned, Matthew had to be bandaged, so his shirt and jacket had to be removed, and now the lower half of his upper body was bandaged, but June didn't care, she simply lay there. As she waited patiently for herself to fall asleep, she stared at Matthew, hoping to see those dazzling eyes she had been hoping to see. Turning to her back, June was now staring at the blank ceiling. There were just so many thoughts in her head, like how Suka was doing, whether Atlantis would be protected, if they would even win. Just as she was ab

As the sails drew nearer and nearer towards the shore of Satilant Island, Matthew raced past the trees as June followed. He ran back to the tree with the carved symbols."This could be leading us to Atlantis. Look! There's another tree with the symbol," Matthew said as he followed. There was a trail of trees with the symbols carved on them, leading the two all the way to the other side of the island. They stopped by a tree, which was the last one with the symbol; beyond that was just a huge stone wall."What now?" June asked."There should be a gap somewhere where we could put the tooth." Matthew said as he dragged his hand across the wall, trying to feel a gap. Suddenly he felt an edge. He looked at where his hand was at. There was a gap, shaped of a tooth."June! Look! This is it!" Matthew gasped excitedly. In a hurry, he pushed the tooth into the gap. Nothing. He pressed against the tooth. It seemed like a button, for a huge hole appeared beneath the two; and the next moment they w

As the villagers packed the entire village with meat and vegetables everywhere, Matthew and June sat in Suka's house, questioning him.“...then how did you get that?” Matthew pointed at the tooth-like souvenir with the symbol of water."This, Matthew."Suka placed the necklace in Matthew's hand."Is the only key to open what covers Atlantis. It's a secret door, no one knows about it except me and my tribe. The door will lead to a very secret part of the island which is highly protected. Look for the missing hole which will fit this key perfectly."Matthew stared at the tooth with great interest. He looked up," Wait- you're saying I can keep it?"Suka nodded."I need a break from being the guardian of this secret location, might as well step down and pass it on."June gasped with excitement as she hugged Matthew's left arm tightly. He looked at her and smiled; he looked back at Suka."Thank you," he said warmly yet gratefully. Suka nodded.Outside the hut, Matthew and June joined the f

Matthew, Alexander and June set a campfire by the shores, but they made sure it wasn't too near to the water. They thought that if they rested near water, they'll somehow end up in the next level of finding Atlantis.The waves gently brushed against the sand. June lay peacefully sleeping on a huge leaf. Matthew lay beside her, whereas Alexander would rather sleep on his own than sleep on the same leaf with gits.Matthew still lay wide awake, resting his head on his hands, staring into the starry sky. All he could do was just lay there and do nothing until he falls asleep. June tossed to the other direction facing him. Matthew knew that she was probably still awake."June? " he whispered. June opened her eyes and looked at Matthew, dazed."Is anything wrong?" June asked."No," Matthew sighed, "I was just wonder if you were awake.""Yeah I'm awake." June said as she sat up; Matthew sat up too."I was wondering, well—if you'd like to take a stroll around the island since we have nothing

Matthew tried really hard to ignore the cursing from Alexander as he made his way through the bushes."Okay," he turned to Alexander who abruptly stopped his muttering. Matthew continued, "make sure you act normal. Try to blend in with the others- okay?""Yeah yeah alright whatever let's just get this done and over with." Alexander said grumpily and continued his muttering as he stepped into the clearing.Matthew and Alexander were wearing animal skins as disguise and blend in. Matthew decided he should look for June, so he disguised himself as much as he can. Now he looked completely unrecognisable as his face was entirely covered in some stuff he had puffed onto his face and his head was covered buy a round band of leaves and he was covered in bear skin. He drew fake scars on his arms and one long one across his right eye. He practiced changing his voice so the leader wouldn't recognise him by voice. He also went to a river nearby to change his hairstyle. When Matthew returned to th

Opening his eyes, Alexander found himself in a little hut. The roof was built out of straw and the door in front of him was made out of bamboo. He curiously sat up and shook his head till he got back to Earth."Where on Earth am I?" he asked himself grumpily. Just then a door opened and a figure walked in. A man dressed in thick animal-skin clothing was in sight."Who are you and why did you bring me here?" Alexander demanded. The man stepped closer and closer to him. Alexander gulped, doubting his chance of living...Cutting through the bushes, Matthew and June went all over the place looking for Alexander."Alexander? Alexander! Alexander, where are you?"' Alexander! Come on, if you're hiding this isn't funny! '"Alexander!- June where is he?""I don't know." June said, looking as though she was tempted to give up."It's almost nightfall. We'll have to work a little faster." Matthew said, looking at the sea which was now a shade of orange. They continued searching: looking behind t

Opening his eyes, Matthew found himself covered in sand. He sat bolt up, spitting out sand from his mouth. Dazed, he looked around. There was no sign of June, Alexander, or any of the men."June! Alexander?! Anyone!" he yelled. The only reply was the soft wind as the waves pushed themselves off the shore back into the ocean repeatedly. Matthew squinted at those waves, he noticed a slight movement. Heart thumping fast with hope, he stumbled clumsily to his feet and ran towards where he saw the movement."June!" he breathed as he turned June around, who was laying on her stomach. Staring at her silent face, Matthew thought of doing CPR, but his worried thoughts made him feel too weird to even rest his hands on her chest. With his hopes going higher and higher, Matthew pressed an ear against June's chest. Nothing.She isn't breathing, what now? Matthew thought urgently. Having no choice, he pressed his hands on top of each other, his fingers dug in between the fingers of the hand below a

Hearing the soft, long groaning of boredom and exhaustion from June, Matthew gulped as he peered into the horizons beyond the coastal line. He forgot how it was like to feel the breeze, brushing his hair back, the fresh smell filling the air as he took a deep breath. The next moment he found himself miles away from the equal rows of piers, all he saw now was water; high above water.The ship moved at a moderate speed as he ambled over to the other side of the ship to settle down next to June, who was resting her head on her hand, frowning into the distance."You forgot what it's like," Matthew began. June didn't answer. He continued, "I also forgot what it's like to be out here. In the breeze, watching the sun peaceful set down to the horizon."Hearing the last few words June looked up, she looked from Matthew then to the sun, which was getting ready to make its way down to the horizon as Matthew had said."Being out in the seas is way more fun than to hang around in the city."

Atlantis Special Chapter: Return to Atlantis
Tossing her phone onto the bed, a young girl of 20 years ambled out of her room and plopped on to the sofa in the living room. It was really peaceful for her- almost- for her peace was rudely disturbed by a voice that called out shrilly, "June! Where's my pen?"A six year- old stomped like an elephant into the living room and glared at her sister."What is it now?" June groaned as she turned to her sister, her ponytail swayed to a side wildly as she turned to her sister, Jacie.June Calloway looked extremely beautiful with brown eyes which matched her dark brown hair, every boy would've fallen for her at the first glance. Her sister, Jacie Calloway, on the other hand, looked as though she could fight a whole pack of lions single-handedly, but most of the time, she seemed pretty helpful and encouraging."My pen!" she demanded."I don't know, okay? I didn't take it!" June snapped, "Besides, that pen looks really bizarre! Is it even a plane or a dinosaur?""No it's not! It was given by t
