The All-Star Academy Chapter One
No Ordinary Day
"Awww… man!" Drake sighed.
Since getting a letter from a mysterious person, Nathan Drake was skeptical about the "All-Star" thing. Really, to him it was probably one of those scams that lead him to an ambush by one of his many enemies. But the only reason why he was going was because of his mentor and father figure Victor "Goddamn" Sullivan or "Sully" as he was called.
"'Go,'" Drake murmured, "'I bet it's worth the trouble', he said. Why the hell do I listen to you, Sully?" He sighed again and just kept walking.
Drake thought that this world was the craziest place he has ever traveled in his entire life. I mean sure, he's seen crazy things, but this was a hundred percent out of the ordinary. Wandering through a giant hexagon-shaped building that looked like a college building than a "tower" as the letter described. Drake honestly didn't care. He just wanted to find his room. He looked at the letter one more time, just to confirm:
Dear Nathan Drake,
You have been personally been accepted to the All-Stars Academy!
It is OK, for you shall be meeting other top-notch students from across the PlayStation universe.
Who knows? You just might be the greatest All-Star of all!
See you there…
P.S.
You will be in Room 135 with three other All-Stars. You don't mind sharing, do you?
"OK, so it's Room 135…" he said from the letter, ignoring the rest.
Even though whoever sent the letter didn't even bother to explain them, Drake honestly didn't care. Drake kept looking at the doors and around the building until he'd find Room 135. Apparently, the room was on the 6th floor of the building, the highest peak of the building.
"131…133…Aha!" Drake exclaimed. "Room 135! I knew I'd find it!"
It was a white door with a silver doorknob reflecting his gaze. In gold plating "Room 135" crafted beautifully within its material. Before he could touch the mesmerizing knob, Drake had a shudder down his spine. He felt being watch; he knew he was being watched. He assumed an "All-Star" was playing some joke on him, so he played into it.
"Ok, you guys got me," he chuckled, raising his hands up, "Joke's over. You can come out now."
Silence engulfed the space around him as Drake smiled at the plant behind him. And in a flash, Drake abruptly stopped smiling and was greeted by a raccoon holding an old bent golden cane; dressed in blue coming out of thin air. Drake's eyes opened wide.
"Did I startle you?" the raccoon said in a sarcastic tone.
The raccoon flipped his cane until his cane pointed at Drake's nose. Drake, still shocked, controlled himself and smirked.
"Well, aren't you adorable!" He replied, sarcastically.
The raccoon chuckled. "Heh, heh… How cute… Keep your guard up, newbie."
It was a battle of wits and mouths; Drake could see that this raccoon was no ordinary one. Cool. Confident. Charming. Drake could see himself in that raccoon. It's like looking through a fun mirror.
"Being smart could get you killed," he said, "but if you wanna die, who am I to stop you?"
Drake knew that was a threat, but only smiled. The raccoon walked away, flipping his cane.
"See 'ya…"
The raccoon suddenly went invisible again; nowhere to be seen. Drake grabbed his breath, panting at what he just experienced.
What the hell was that? Drake thought, Did that raccoon just talked and wore clothes? All right, to hell with all my adventures, this just takes the cake!
Drake looked back at the doorknob the Room 135. He was hesitant now to open the door. If he just saw a talking raccoon, then what in God's name will he meet next in that room? Monsters? Madmen? Clowns?
"Shit…" He gasped, "Leave it to Sully to screw up your life… again."
He quickly grabbed the doorknob.
This… is it… he thought as he turned the doorknob.
