Chapter 1: Traveler101

Hello, first off I would like to say thanks for checking out this story, and for those who had read this before, I deleted the original. I had to redo it, there were many mistakes there. So I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

"The first world ever discovered was earth. Soon countless other worlds were being discovered, but with so many worlds out there how can anyone possible hope to truly understand them? That is where Travelers come in.

Travelers are what we like to call researchers, scientists, archeologist or something similar. For each new world that is discovered a Traveler is sent there to study it. Now before they are sent to a world they must first be trained. This is why you are all here. Now before we continue does anyone have any questions", the professor ask,

"How about you David?"

Everyone in class turns around to look at a lone figure, he had short black hair, the academy uniform which consisted of a gray zipped up jacket which was currently unzipped, revealing a black shirt underneath, gray pants, and gray shoes, which was sleeping on his desk.

"DAVID!"

The boy who was sleeping so peacefully immediately jerks up and shouts "It wasn't me!"

Soon every student was laughing at him, calling him names like David the dunderhead, deadweight David, or whatnot. He didn't really care, since he is the only one who stayed at the academy longer than anyone, insults usually don't bother him.

The professor was irritated since David fell asleep in his class again so he shouts "That's enough class, now David is this subject so boring that you must sleep?"

He replies with a hint of sarcasm "No, there is no way I would fall asleep in this wonderful class which has such a great teacher Mr. Powell."

Mr. Powell, who didn't catch the sarcasm, simply states "Flattery will not get you anywhere, now David can you continue where we left off?"

"Yeah I can continue"

"..."

"..."

"Well are you going to continue" the professor ask, irritation rising in his voice.

"No, you asked if I can continue, which I can, but never asked if I would continue."

"Fine, David WOULD you continue where we left if!"

"Sure anything for you, everyone is here to train (which I think is pointless). Every student studies here at the academy for about four years (everyone except for me, who has to stay here in this dump for the past 7 years). After those four years the students take a final test that determines which world they are best suited to travel to. And I personally think the test is pointless"

"DAVID, please see me after class." the professor states, obviously trying to keep his temper.

Soon class ended and everyone exited the room except for Mr. Powell and David.

"Now David, what do you have against the test? It shouldn't be that hard for you, I have seen what you can do and you excel brilliantly in all your subjects. You have been here longer than any other student. Yet when the test comes you always fail. It seems as if you do it on purpose."

"It's because I do it on purpose!" David shouts.

The professor is confused by this, "Why, don't you want to become a traveler?"

"Yes, more than anything, but if being a traveler just means sitting around doing nothing but watching others do stuff then I want no part of it. Travelers should do more, they should actually experience what it is like to be on a new world. This school only teaches us how to hide and watch. We should be thought how to survive if in any danger, how to live, not just take notes on what we see but what we can do. That is what a Traveler should be like."

There was a long pause, suddenly the professor said something David thought no one would ever say.

"I understand"

David was so shocked that the only words that came out of his mouth were "What?"

"David, I have been working here for a very long time, longer than you have been here. Each time a student travels to a new world, new information is received immediately. But after such a long time a lot of it has been the same. When I joined here I was looking towards the many new information that many travelers would receive.

Instead I see the same results. There are animals, lots of plants, different looking inhabitants, etc. I want to know how it is like to actually live on those worlds, and you are a perfect candidate."

"A candidate for what?"

"I am working on a something, something I haven't revealed to the other professors. It will revolutionize the Travelers. I have been watching everyone very closely and I believe you have what it takes to do this test. Now the choice is all yours."

David didn't know what to do. Should he accept Me. Powell's offer?

"Sure, if it means getting out of here."

"Excellent, come to the classroom after school and I will explain everything."

David left the room and started to head towards the dormitory. (Should I really be doing this? Guess I just need to wait till tonight. Man I hope nothing goes wrong.)

In a different world:

Everything is dark and no sound can be heard until,

"Is everything set?" A mysterious deep dark voice asks.

"Yes master, we are all prepared." another voice answers back.

"Good, good. Attack when night comes. "

"But master, are you sure we can trust the human?"

"You dare question me?"

"No, lord, I would never do that. Please forgive me."

Soon all that was heard was a crunching noise, then a thud.

"There, you are forgiven. COME." Soon another voice was heard.

"Y-yes my lord?"

"Congratulations, you've just been promoted. Ready the troops!"

"Yes my lord."

When all is quite "Soon Travelers, you, the earth, and all worlds will meet their end." all that was a heard was a dark laughter.

Done. And big surprise…Next chapter is going to be posted later today. Tell me what your think, I will accept any tips, but no flaming.
