Chapter 2: Arrivings.
--
My mom ether was psycho or a genius.
Dad didn't even say anything in the car...
There was the tunnel , the light at the end tantalizing me again. Random figures danced thru the shadows...
"All will be fine young one, you'll understand soon".
HONK!!
I snap from what I guess was a nap. I look across to the road and see an odd looking...bus...thing.
It kinda looked like a cliche rocket ship with flashy tail fins and all. It seemed so strange to have wheels attached to it.
HONK!!
This sure an impatient bus driver.
I pick up my things from the side of the old oak and drag them to the side of the peculiar bus. I then notice strange shadows moving thru the windows.
Heh..I guess..shadows always look that..in a rocketship bus...
HONK!!
"Sweet mother of all! I'm trying to put my crap into the back!" I shouted in distress.
After I put my things in a vehicle for the fourth time today I moved to the doors of the bus and saw that the driver looked a little...pale.
Not enough vitamin D in the system?
As I stepped closer to the door, the ghostly face of the driver appeared. I stood in place.
In silent panic.
Don't breathe, don't think...don't even blink! Why kinda school did my parents send me to!
The doors opened...
The whole world stood still...the face of the driver now was more demonic.
I was scared for my life for the second time
Today?
The bus was like a normal school bus now.
The bus driver looked completely normal now, a pleasant smile across his face.
WHAT THE HELL?
"Goin' to Maelstrom?" He driver asked
At this point I had questions, and even more where to come.
"Uhm...yes? Is it safe to go in?" I noticed I was shaking slightly. My feet felt cold.
"Oh sorry 'bout tha', I do it to all new students. Its ta' test yah fear factor." He said in sort of a drawl.
It must of been the bean dip, I'm having such a...
"Bad day?" The driver responsed.
"Did you just...?"
"Read yur thoughts? You'll learn quick' how to resist that by your instructor at the academy." He said.
Oh boy, I'm in deep cookies now. The burned, sugar-free kind.
I stepped onto the bus only notice a few people on board, a older girl in a yellow getup, somebody attempting a megaman cosplay, and some guy sleeping in the back.
Wow, everybody must be so lively toady.
I sat down three seats down to the left, no real reason why though. The weather was nice outside; there where lots of birds outside.
And that's when it happened.
"Alright! We are about to go to Maelstrom!" The driver shouted to the 3 and half people on the bus.
"Aren't we already driving there?" I said with wary tone.
"Well we have reached the designated portal! So brace for the jump!"
WHAT!!
I held on to dear life as the bus was enveloped in a flashing blue light and sent thru what seemed pure chaos. Until...
"We're here!" The driver shouted again.
"Okay so we are! Let me off I have to do my daily 3 miles!" yellow getup girl squawked. She seemed to be a mix of a GI Jane and a over-enthusiastic college student. A little tough to chew, I guess.
I'd hate to be the guy who has to teach her!
I took a quick glance outside the window.
Dinosaur people?
Ninjas...er...weridos?
WoW players?
Strange beings filled the front of the academy, I was scared for my life.
These "people" were going to chew me up!
Oh no, as I was going to learn; I was going to turn them upside down
