So I wrote this story to get over my writers block of Death to Spies and after reading Remnant in Earth and the Emergence Saga, I was inspired to write my own Earth portal to Remnant story. Oh and some of the texts require an Enigma emulator, I used one I got from the Google Play store to encode, it was the first one listed, I don't know about Apple App Store. The first three letters above the code is what you set the dials to.

Chapter 1: Arrival

If any middle class civilian needed to get out of Connecticut, they went to Bradley International. You would go to Tweed if you owned your own jet and Sikorsky if you were a test pilot. Normal people like me, we go through Bradley. My parents only brought me as far as security, as with every flight in the world of modern terror. Plus with the flight that I was joining, the security was needed.

I was hurried into a separate VIP line with other teenagers going on this flight. Each coming from other areas of the state, each carrying large bags containing what ever they thought necessary to bring. I placed my large red suitcase into the conveyor belt for our flight and walked forward for the carry on check. I approached the table guarded by a very bored looking TSA agent and began the complex task of emptying my bag. The 5.11 Tactical Sling Bag, bought with some of the scholarship money given by his choice of school, was attached by two interlocking straps to make sure the bag wouldn't come off. I unlocked the weight strap and slid the bag across my chest. The main compartment is opened and I pull out my laptop a notebook and three novels the read. I place them in their trays and I place with them my Android, my wallet, my iPod, and an ornate silver pocket watch.

I walked into the chamber which sealed me in before blasting me with air to check for any weapons. After I cleared, I was handed back my carry on equipment. I opened my watch as I walked away checking the time. 6:30 in the morning. Two hours until show time.

I walked out into the main concourse leading to the terminals to grab some breakfast at the local pastry shop. Seven dollars later, I walked towards the section labeled as Gates 1-19 with a bag containing two cheese danishes and a bottle of milk. For this special occasion we were selected to leave from Gate one at 9:00 and arrive at our destination by lunch time.

As I turned into the hall that contained the gates, I walked out onto the moving floor that reached to about half way through. I turned to see various children and some of his future classmates jokingly moving at the same rate on the returning side not moving and pissing off some people who just wanted to get to baggage claim. After about two minutes of travel, I walked towards the seating area where at least half of the seats were full of 18 year olds like me waiting for the flight to the school.

I sat down opened my back and pulled out a copy of The Bourne Identity, and began to read. I sat there for about another ten minutes, eating my breakfast and reading, before I heard a familiar hissing and clicking behind me. I turned my head to see none other than Nicole Ludiccelli. The whore who betrayed my trust. She was coming with us? Who in Glaux's great name did she manage that. I averted my gaze back towards my book clenching my left hand in internal anger. She was the only one to attack us and go unpunished.

I felt a hard press against the left side of my head causing me to lean right. In my ear now was a soft heartbeat to calm me from my anger. She was no threat to the Tree. Her punishment was only light. I heard next to me from the being whose heart I was listening to.

I casually looked up from my book to look out the window only to find that our ride hadn't arrived yet. Our benefactors seemed to want to make a show.

I finished my danishes and threw away the bag they came in only to find where I was sitting currently occupied by Nicole. I went over and grabbed my bag moving it over so I could take its seat.

"What did you need some privacy so you could masturbate to your waifu?" I commented in disgust as I saw her usual pictures of anime boys on her phone.

"One, if it's a man, its husbando. Two, no he isn't. And three, stop that, I hate it when you do that." She responded.

"Well I hate it when you return yourself to my presence." I retort. She sneered and returned to her regularly scheduled anime fan girl-ing.

I spent the rest of the time taking notes and analyzing the people in the waiting area. I set my phone's Enigma emulator to QDG and took the following notes: Fifty students, fifty-fifty gender ratio, races mixed, most larger than me. By the time I was finished, it was set to RGO and I had a long line of digital tape to save else where. I knew I needed to keep notes on other people where we were going.

The large battleship like craft with its flapping wings hovered slowly to the ground causing all the other students to rise up and gasp. The boarding bridge swung out of the building and met with the main doors on the craft. We all began to line up at the reception desk to hand in our tickets and board to our destination.

I got aboard the craft and headed towards the middle of the many personal lounge chair style seats like you would find in the first class section of your average jumbo jet. They were large, comfortable and had a decent size vid screen to watch the in flight movie on.

As the last of the students settled in and buckled our seat belts, the TVs in front of us flickered to life. This should be interesting. I heard as a soft form pressed up against me.

"Hello, my name is Ruby Rose, the headmistress of Beacon Academy, the school in which you are the first Earth humans to attend in its long and storied history." A woman in her mid to late twenties maybe early thirties appeared on the screen. Her short black and red hair and silver eyes gave her a very young look. "I would like to congratulate all off you. You have shown everything from high intelligence, physical ability, and will to do what's right. And that is why you are coming here to become Earth's first Huntsmen and Huntresses."

I sent you a message. The voice explained as she drew back and the TV kept talking. "Earth humans may not have the same Aura or abilities as us on Remnant, but your technology and will to do good has set you all apart."

My phone buzzed and I checked the text message I got. The number was blocked, but I knew who it could be coming from.

"You have chosen to craft weapons in designs that you want and see practical to you and they will be ready for you when you arrive." The Headmistress continued as I opened up my encoder and began the decryption process. "You will have one day to train yourselves in their use and then you will face initiation."

The craft lifted off of the ground and turned away from the airport. I looked out my window to see the C-130 Hercules of the 118th Airlift of the Connecticut National Guard take off to guide us to our destination. "I will greet you all in person when you arrive. I look forward to teaching you all this year and three years to come."

As the screen flickered off and the news began to play, I pulled out my head phones and set my Spotify to play my patented Soundtrack to the Nuclear Holocaust playlist. As Frank Sinatra began singing, "I've Got You Under My Skin" I pulled my book from my pack and began to read again, but deep inside, I was jumping for joy that she was going to be there. They were going to be on the same team he hoped and they would start their courtship at initiation. I opened my text app, not bothering to encode the message and typed out.

Can't wait to see you there.
