HELLO PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO! There will be one of these at the beginning of each chapter but don't worry i try to keep it small. As a general statement i own nothing. Hope you enjoy it.
I smashed my blaring alarm with malice towards the little piece of machinery, but got up anyways. As I stretched out my arms and legs, an alarm started sounding. I quickly realized it wasn't my alarm, which was tiny bits of metal and gears on the floor, so I dove out of bed and dressed myself in my tattered black hoodie with a red hood and my ripped jeans and flew out the door. As I ran to the lab, Ashley, my best friend, came running out of her room wearing her white shirt and black vest and a pair of withered jeans. Ashley glanced at me and we made eye contact. With a simple head nod we knew exactly what the other was thinking. We continued to run to the lab when we met the professor. Ashley got to the door first, but as she ran towards the door to the lab she jumped up and kicked the door down with one swift kick and landed perfectly on the door as it fell.
"Professor what's the problem?" we asked simultaneously.
Professor Akai turned around with his clipboard in hand.
"Nothing is wrong girls." He said calmly. We just looked at him. "I was simply testing your reaction time. And considering that door was designed to withstand nothing short of C4." Ashley stood tall at that comment. "And seeing how I sounded that alarm 30 seconds ago and you were able to get up, dressed, and here within that time shows me that you two are improving. I think you two are ready for ur first mission."
At that Ashley and I screeched. A beaker shattered into a million pieces. A few test tubes exploded causing an acidic solution to fall onto the floor and burn holes in the floor. Professor Akai simply facepalmed.
"Girls just get ready before i regret this." I could tell from his tone that he already did. Ashley and I walked back to our room, at the intersection Ashley said goodbye and went to her room. I went back to my room, but i only had few things to grab. I grabbed my rose choker that my mother had left me, I also put on my specially made goggles and my bow, which I had named Hush. I put Hushon my back and walked back to the lab. When I got there Ashely was waiting for me. The only thing she grabbed was her ice dust earrings, fire dust necklace, and earth dust bracelet.
"Lilly so nice of you to join us." Ashley said jokingly. I punched her in the arm. "Shut up dork." I said as she grabbed her arm. "So what's our mission Professor?"
"You two will head over to Beacon Ruins and retrieve a gear of the clock that once stood there." Professor Akai said as a map of Beacon Ruins appeared. "The gears are at the top of Beacon Tower. Beacon Tower is where the Grimm Dragon is frozen to. I need you to retrieve one undamaged gear from the tower. Once you have it bring it back to here."
"Professor how are we going to get there. If we leave the safety of the lab we're dead and no one has flown since the fall of Atlas." Ashley asked.
"It's quite easy my dear. We have been developing this teleporter for just the purpose." Professor Akai said. "You will stand on the device and we push a button and wala you are in Beacon."
I punched my hand "Let's do this." The Professor showed us where to stand and we did so. "Will this hurt?" Ashley asked.
"Oh come on Ash. We haven't been hurt by anything in years and even if we are hurt the Professor gave us a healing factor that can easily counteract any injury that we could encounter while outside the lab." I told her.
"I guess you're right Lil. Okay let's do this." Ashley said with enthusiasm.
Professor Akai walked over to the machinery with his lab assistants and fired up the machine. The floor below us started to glow, but suddenly there was an alarm. I watched as the Professor started to panic.
"Um… Professor what's going on?" I asked.
The Professor continued to scramble over the machinery. "Oh nothing bad."
"That doesn't sound like 'nothing bad'." I said pointing out the alarm.
"It's just a miscalculation just whatever you do don't mover." He said calmly, but right as he said this the teleporter glowed brighter and the last thing I saw was the bright light shining off of Ashley's face as we were teleported to Beacon.
I hope you guys like the first chapter. Please let me know what you think. I love you all and thanks to those of you who helped make this chapter possible.
