Hey everybody! Wielder of the Blue Flames here with a new story!

Now recently, I have just gained a huge interest in a webcomic known as Zoophobia, created by VivzMind! She is really talented and it's great!

So I decided to make a fanfic off the comic only with my OC in the mix!

Disclaimer and I want everyone to read this clearly!

I OWN NOTHING BUT MY OC! ZOOPHOBIA BELONGS TO VIVZMIND ALONE!

Got it? Good.

On with the show!

The Transfer

...


"Tell me Mr. Daniels. What's the last thing you remember seeing?"

Cade Daniels blinked when he finally noticed that his psychiatrist, Mrs. Winkler was speaking to him. He sighed as he leaned back onto the chair, his hands interlocked as he gazed at the ceiling. His brown eyes narrowed as he focused on the fan that was lazily spinning around.

"I'm not sure. It was so little and yet… so much more." He tried to describe. "It was so vivid this time around! It felt more… real than all the other ones." He sighed as he felt a headache hitting him. "It's… It's hard to explain, doc."

The elderly woman nodded as she wrote on the notepad she was currently holding. "It is understandable my dear. You needn't rush our last session over something that makes it uncomfortable for you to talk about." She reassured with a smile.

"I know doc, but…" He leaned back up as set his feet down on the floor, sitting upright. "It's been over two years now! I've tried forgetting about and I've taken many lessons from guidebooks, but it all leads to the same thing!" He exclaimed before he rubbed his head. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped."

"Not a problem young man." She smiled kindly. "We have made so much progress than we have before when we first started. You have become more relaxed and most of the weight before has been lifted off your shoulders." She summarised.

Cade nodded before he smiled sadly. "I think we could have made so much more if my parents didn't… y'know." He hinted as he leaned his head down. "I mean, I feel as though they have been added to my dreams as well! Yet, I can only see them for a few, brief seconds. I feel like I'm losing my mind!" He moaned and he shook his head.

"Rather ironic considering the events that lead you here." The Mrs. Winkler commented. "Forgive me for bringing up any unwanted memories, but I feel that is necessary to dive deeper to find out the cause of your problems." She explained.

Cade nodded. "Yeah. It was only a few minutes, yet it felt like a hellish eternity." He elaborated. "I'm just not sure If I should talk about doc. I get nightmares about it when I try to remember anything about it! And thanks to that, I've lost my last job because of them!" He groaned as he placed his head in his hands.

"So, your upcoming job assignment plays a part in this?" She queried as she wrote on the notepad.

Cade nodded once again. "A little bit. I remember seeing… an eye. Just one… staring at me… it was cold… and blue." He shivered as an image was placed in his mind. "I don't know who it was… but it felt so… familiar."

The elderly woman nodded. "Yes. Go on."

"It made me feel… alone… powerless… afraid." He continued. "All of my nightmare rolled into one… maybe it was just one to begin with." He guessed. "But then, just a few seconds later… I felt peace… a warm feeling surrounding me… I felt safe." He smiled and sighed. "I'm not sure if this makes any sense."

"In many cases for others, these dreams, while vague and lead to questions, are really the answers you are looking for." She wisely said. "Perhaps, your next assignment will lead you to whatever it is you are looking for."

Cade raised an eyebrow in thought. "You could be right doc. There have been a few times where I feel like I've finally found the solution to my problem and it was staring at me in the face the whole time!" He exclaimed. "The problem is the dream ends as soon as I find it and I forget it!"

The Psychiatrist smiled. "Well dear, it sounds to me like-"

"SWEET GOKU'S KAMEHAMEHA!" Cade suddenly shouted as he leapt upwards. looked at the clock, where Cade was looking at to. It was 12:02. "I've been talking so long, I forgot the time!" He stated as he grabbed his bag. "I'm really sorry to cut this session short Mrs. Winkler!"

"Its fine my dear. I'm a little upset that our last session had to end like this." She said sombrely before she smiled. "I do hope that you will find a way to resolve your problems. I only wish I could have done more."

"You've done a lot more than anyone else has tried to do for me doc." He reassured with a smile. "You never gave up on me and you've helped me through my problems for two years and for that, I can't thank you enough!"

"You can repay me by keeping calm and take care of yourself." She smiled. "Please tell Richard I said hi."

"I will, thanks!" Cade nodded before he rushed out the door and yelled back. "Wish me luck!" He ran out of the building and he put on his coat as the rain started to pour. "Taxi!" He called as he ran.

He couldn't be late for this!

This was his last chance!


Mrs. Kaycey's office…

'BZZT!'

"Mrs. Kaycey. The 12 o'clock is here… late."

Claire Kaycey didn't look up from the forum she was currently writing as she spoke to the intercom with a quiet voice. "Send him in." She requested as she continued to write. She heard the door open. "Come in."

"Um. Hello Mrs. Sorry I'm late." Cade apologized as he placed his long black, trench-coat on the hanger. "I had an appointment with my… 'Teacher' and I lost track of time." He covered up. He didn't want this woman to think he had just come out of the nut-house.

"It's quite…" Mrs. Kaycey started until she finally looked up to see the man she was supposed to talk too. He had spiky brown hair, brown eyes and a navy suit. He looked to be near 20 years old. "Alright." She finished awkwardly, noticing his suit was slightly wet and his shoes were soaking as well. She turned her head to see his coat had suffered the worst, as it was dripping.

"Sorry about that." Cade apologized as he walked to the desk. "It's raining pretty heavily out there." He explained with a nervous smile. He took a look at the woman and had to say, she seemed… strange. He couldn't place it, but something about her seemed… off.

Although, she seemed like an average person. She had long white hair, wore a suit with a green pendant hung around her necklace. But what seemed to throw Cade for a loop was her eyes. They were white, sure. But, oddly enough, they had a hint of yellow.

"Take a seat." She requested as she turned back to her forum before she sat straight and looked at him. "So, we can begin to discuss your placement in this program."

Cade nodded as he pulled the seat back and sat down. "Again, I'm really sorry about that." He apologized again, as he straightened up.

Mrs. Kaycey waved a hand slightly. "It's alright." She reassured as she continued to observe him.

Cade looked around the room as he settled down. It looked pretty bleak in here, not much to it.

Then why did he just get a shiver up his spine?

He noticed Mrs. Kaycey staring at him, an settling gaze boring into his soul. He raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Um. Have I met you befor-"

"Yes." She answered quickly, interrupting him, still keeping her eyes on him as they slightly narrowed.

Cade leaned back a little with a confused look. There was something definitely off about this woman.

Mrs. Kaycey suddenly broke her stare and picked up a clipboard. "Well, looking at your report and résumé, I wasn't able to find a suitable position for you. We don't seem to have a vacant job here with need of your skills." She said with a hint of regret in her voice.

Cade felt his heart drop and his eyes widened. He just got here and already his hopes were crushed?! This couldn't be-!

'Bing!'

Suddenly, his eyes widened and he grinned.

"I'm afraid there is not much I could do for-." Mrs. Kaycey started before Cade suddenly leaned forward with a smile.

"Wait! You said, there were no jobs available here, right?" He asked with hope in his voice.

"Y-yes." She said, confused by the boys happy demeanour.

"Well, are there any available somewhere else? There has to be some vacant spots in other parts of your program, right?" He asked politely with a smile.

Mrs. Kaycey blinked at the teenager in front of her before she looked down at the clipboard and spotted one page. It had a circle around the job title, 'Guidance Counsellor.' "Well… Do you have a degree in counselling?" She asked, looking back to him."

Cade smiled and nodded. "Yes, I do! I took the classes so that I could help people with their problems." He explained. This was true, due to the fact that since he needed help to recover from his problems, he figured that he should help others that had personal problems of their own.

"How thoughtful of you. I would never have thought a teenage boy would be interested in counselling." She commented as she looked at the paper.

"I guess that's just one of life's many surprises." Cade let out a laugh as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Indeed." Mrs. Kaycey nodded as she read through the applicant. "There is a spot available. However, it is a transfer position. It would require relocation for you." She informed him. She was surprised by his next sentence.

"Even better!" He exclaimed with a grin! This was exactly what he was looking for! He leaned forward with determination in his eyes. "I'll take it Mrs! Whatever and wherever it is, I'll do it!" He declared with a confident smile.

Mrs. Kaycey was silent for a few seconds before she looked back down to the clipboard. "Very well then." She relented as she circled the boy's name with a pen. "A private jet will take you from this building on Thursday, 9:00. I suggest you pack all your things." She advised as she looked back to him.

"YES!" Cade shouted and he pumped his fist in the air. He then remembered that he was not alone and he nervously chuckled, gaining a bemused look from the woman. He bowed forward in respect and shook her hand. "Thank you Mrs. Kaycey. I truly appreciate this." He thanked.

Mrs. Kaycey nodded as she looked back at the clipboard. "Don't be late." She said flatly as the teen grabbed his coat.

"I won't ma'am." He reassured. "Thank you." He said as he grabbed his bag with a smile.

"You're quite welcome Mr. Daniels." She responded as she picked up an apple that was on her desk.

"Please ma'am, call me Cade." He reassured with a smile as he opened the door. "Thank you once again." He said for the last time as he left the office, hoping to get things ready for the move.

If he had stuck around a little longer outside of the office, he would have heard the mischievous, evil cackle from the woman. Mrs. Kaycey smiled as the apple's red skin melted away to reveal a gold one instead.

"No Mr. Cade…" She said as her appearance changed drastically from a smart to the point business woman to a… a… monster.

"Thank you!" Kaycee giggled with glee as she set her legs on the table, her hair growing and her teeth, sharper. Her mad laugh echoed throughout the room as she played with the golden apple.

This turn of events was sure to be entertaining!


Cade's apartment…

Cade opened the door to his apartment and flicked on the lights. The place brightened up to show how, in his opinion, cruddy it was. The place hadn't been doing so well since he lost his first job and with his parent's untimely deaths, he hadn't been focused and received many sleepless nights.

'Maybe it wouldn't be so crappy if I didn't but all those comics and Anime. But then again, it would be pretty boring around here.' He thought to himself as he walked to his room. 'Buying all those cosplay clothes didn't help either.'

As soon as he opened the door, he felt something jump onto him and cling to his arms. He smiled when he recognized the blue, furry creature in his arms. "Hey Richard! How have you been boy!?" He greeted happily to the raccoon who purred excitedly in his arms.

Richard was his pet raccoon he had found in an alleyway, eating out of his garbage cans. Instead of getting rid of him, he decided to take care of him, taking him to the vet to make sure he was all checked out and well. What was strange for Cade, was that the raccoon's fur was nearly sky, blue instead of the usual grey. Not that it bothered him.

"Guess what I got buddy!?" He said to him with a smile before he took out a package from his bag and unfolded it to reveal… "Fish!" He laid the dead animal on to his friend's bowl and smiled when he munched away. "And good news boy! We're leaving this dump!" He informed him with a smile.

Richard looked at him as he chewed the fish to pieces.

"Yep! I just got a job and now we have to move! The woman didn't tell me where though, but I'm sure it's better than here!" He dismissed with a smile. "What do ya think boy?"

The raccoon leapt on to his lap and curled up, letting out happy noises.

"Yeah, I'm sure it's gonna be good!" Cade agreed with a smile. He stood up and looked out the window, showing the cloudy city. He was too happy to be brought down by the bad weather. "I promised that things were going to change for us buddy and I meant it!" He reminded his pet who continued to munch on the fish. "This time, for the better!"

And it would…

Just not the way he expected.


One Hour Later…

The rain had finally stopped, at least for a while, giving Cade enough time to take out the trash. He had just started to pack everything up quickly, but he still had a lot more things to before leaving. After all, it pays to be prepared.

"Whew! I'm starting to regret giving Richard those fish in the first place. Their bones stink!" He quipped as he reached the front entrance. He walked outside and to the nearest trash can, throwing it in with perfect ease. "Ha! Ten point landing!" He smirked and headed back.

"Not a bad throw my boy."

That was until he heard an elderly voice speak to him. He looked around in alarm and spotted a man sitting by an alleyway. He looked around cautiously before walking up to him. He noticed the man had a long grey beard and wore brown and yellow robes.

"You must work out if you are able to perform such a feat." He assumed with a smile.

Cade raised an eyebrow before he rubbed his head. "A little. I used to take self-defence classes a year ago. Cost me a bit though, so now I have to move." He said a little sombrely.

The man nodded in understanding as he pulled out a small cane. "I see. That's unfortunate to hear. I do hope you receive a more fulfilling life in your new home. I hear that it's nice place." He commented.

Cade raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Um. Actually, I don't know where it is. I wasn't told where or what it is." He admitted with a sheepish smile.

The old man narrowed his eyes before he chuckled. "I figured as much. It's more of a surprise transfer. You never know where or what it will be, but rest assured, it is a safe place. I've been there a few times myself." He continued with a smile.

"Really?" Cade asked, a little suspicious. This man seemed okay, but appearances can be deceiving. "Can you, maybe give me a heads up on what it is? Just so I'm prepared."

The man nodded. "Now that would be a wise thing to do, but I'm afraid I can't. Certain laws in that place have given me strict orders not to divulge too much information." He said with a hint of sadness before he smiled. "Besides, what would be the fun in telling you something that will make a good surprise for you?"

Cade was now extremely confused. This man was letting on more than he knew. "Ooooookay, thank you. Good talking to you. I've gotta get back to packing my stuff." He said quickly as he walked away.

"Very well. I must be on my way too." The elder agreed before he took something out of his pocket. "But first, take this." He called out and he threw it at him.

Cade reacted fast and grabbed it, to see it was a slip of paper. "What the?" He looked down at it to see it was strangely coloured and it had strange writing on it. "What is this thing?"

"It's something that you will need eventually. A return pass of sorts." The man explained cryptically. "You will need it when your home is in a spot of trouble. And I don't mean here."

"Wait, what?" Cade exclaimed as he looked up from the ticket to get some answers from the old coot.

He was gone.

Cade yelped in surprise when he saw no one standing in front of him anymore. Only the whistle of the wind and falling leaves greeted him. "Okay… that wasn't creepy or strange at all." He quipped as he walked back to his apartment. He looked down at the ticket and shrugged his shoulders as he placed it in his pocket.

"Might as well." He sighed as he headed back in.

He had some packing to do.


The next day…

Cade yawned as he carried Richard with him to airstrip. He now wore a black Trench-coat, brown gloves, a red hoodie, blue jeans and brown boots, which he called his usual 'outfit'. He watched the workers load all of his stuff in the jet.

Or rather the plane.

"That woman needs to get her facts straight when she informs people about this stuff." He quipped as Richard climbed on his shoulder, making a small nod.

"You the guy?"

The two turned to see a woman smoking a cigarette. She had black goggles above her head, she had green hair, a green neck bandana, black gloves, a green sleeveless shirt, a grey belt, green cargo pants and green high heel boots. And if you look closely, you would see a touch of green on her skin.

'Yeesh, she must be a big fan of green.' He joked within his mind. He nodded with a smile. "Yeah, that's me." He said as he looked at the plane. "I have to admit, I have never been on a private plane before." He looked at the woman as she took another puff from her cigarette. "Are you the pilot miss..?"

"Snake." She introduced simply.

"Should have figured." He mumbled to himself before he smiled. "Well then, I guess we're good to go huh? Is it okay if I take my friend on-board?" He asked as he pointed at Richard.

"Meh. Do what ya want." Snake shrugged. "Just make sure that he doesn't bother me when I'm flying." She said as the raccoon looked like he just narrowed his eyes at her.

"No prob, we'll be fine." He reassured as he walked to the plane. "So, shall we get moving?" He asked as the he walked in.

"Just be sure to save the jaw flappin' fer later hon." She ordered as she discarded the cigarette. "I don't wanna fly with a headache." She stepped on the cigarette, putting it out.

"Right. Sorry. Just excited going to a new place. New home y'know?" He rambled as he sat down in a seat with Richard curling up on one next to him.

"Sure." Snake dismissed as she walked in. "Just put a sock in it 'till we get there." She walked into cockpit and sat down. She placed her goggles over her eyes and started up the plane.

In just a few minutes, the plane took off, leaving home behind along with a lot of bad memories for Cade.

He smiled as he petted Richard's head as he looked out the window. His mind suddenly wandered back to the old man he had met the other night.

'It's something that you will need eventually. A return pass of sorts." The man explained cryptically. "You will need it when your home is in a spot of trouble. And I don't mean here.'

"What did that guy mean by that?" He mumbled to himself as his eyes narrowed. He was starting to get a little nervous by this whole thing. Was this really a good idea?

"I hope it is." He contemplated as he watched the setting sun. "After all, there's no turning back for us." He said to Richard, more than to himself.

He didn't notice the smirking fog cloud around the mountains.


Three hours later…

Cade tapped on the edge of his seat with his fingers as he listened to one of his favourite songs on his IPhone. He was a major Dragon Ball Z fan so most of them were his favourites… except GT of course.

"Don't stop! Don't stop! We're in luck now"

"Don't stop! There's so much to be found"

"We can find paradise, all we have to do is go! Go!"

"Free your soul… Dragon Soul!"

"Akira Toriyama, you are a genius." He mumbled quietly to himself as he looked down to see Richard still sleeping, letting out small snores every once in a while. "Man Richard. You can sleep through just about anything, can you?" He asked jokingly as he turned to the window. He looked out to see the sun lowering itself over the vast forest.

"Geez, I didn't know the forest was this big. We've been flying over it for hours." He commented to himself as he stared with amazement.

"Yeah, why do ya think it's called the fuckin 'Oceanica' forest? Cause it's big." Snake responded rudely as she continued to fly without turning her head. "And what did I say about talking?"

Cade rolled his eyes at the woman's attitude. First, a strange old man, a lumbering cargo plane and a snappy pilot.

"What else could happen?" He asked himself as he folded his arms.

'HONK!'

"...Was that a bird?" He said to himself and he looked out the window to see…

A giant, four-eyed, blue-jay flying beside the plane!

"Huh. How about that." He muttered quietly to himself before he called to the woman. "Hey, Snake! Are giant birds common around here?!" He asked.

"What?" Snake questioned turning her head slightly.

"Giant birds? Size of a plane? Are they common around here?" He repeated as he looked out the window again.

"Huh? Oh, yeah whatever." She replied with a wave of her hand. "Now keep quiet, stay in your seat while I fly, 'kay?"

Cade shook his head in disbelief as he continued to stare at the bird. But not for long when it suddenly flew away from the plane and soon his line of sight.

"...Well that was… something." He muttered as he sat back down. He looked down to see Richard still asleep.

"You know what? I think you may have an idea lil'buddy." He smiled as he leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms, closing his eyes, following his friend's example.

'If this is the flight, then what is the actual place like?'

Oh he had no idea.


Well, I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter! The next one is coming along as we speak!

By the way, I'm starting think I'm in over my head by doing more stories! But meh, its no big deal.
