The door to the building opened and a woman, who looked like she was in her early 20's, dressed in the same attire as the man, minus the sunglasses and different hair, smiled at us. Her hair was light brown and in a high ponytail.
"Welcome to the FBI Base." She said cheerily, her voice was high pitched and sweet. "My name is Lenora, sorry for Chuck but he's a little… antisocial."
A little? I thought to myself, at least she didn't scowl at us every time she looked our way.
"So since Chuck had something important to do, I will be your new tour guide today." Lenora motioned to the building behind her. "In this building, new recruits are being trained in special rooms, as well as dogs and agents that are already experienced in the field. There are also some rooms where new technology is being tested." I stifled a yawn as Lenora kept babbling on about the building, I thought Cocoa said this was gonna be fun and interesting...
"It's kind of weird how these guys are so calm after that one announcement a few days ago huh?" Luke whispered to Cocoa, but she ignored him, listening closely to Lenora as if fascinated by everything Lenora said. But he was right, a few days ago a weird creature appeared on TV and started talking about how he was going to destroy the world after this tournament thing or whatever. But we weren't freaking out either were we?
I closed my eyes lightly before I shook my head slightly and looked around the compound curiously, it looked awfully familiar to me, but how? I've never been here in my life, and, to tell you the truth, I don't ever want to come back really… Then it hit me, it was the exact same compound from my dream! But wait, how could I have dreamed about it if I've never even seen this place? I sighed and shook my head again. That couldn't be it, it was probably just my imagination.
Cocoa elbowed me in the ribs with her elbow to get my attention. I looked at her in annoyance, rubbing my ribs, not that it hurt though. She motioned forward, indicating that we were going inside the building. I blew out through my lips and walked inside with her and Luke at my side. Lenora led us through several rooms and hallways, always stopping at each display to give a very detailed speech about it. I held back a groan. Cocoa said this was supposed to be fun and exciting, but so far it's been nothing but boring and dull
Lenora took us to into a long, wide hallway and stopped right in the middle of it. Once everyone filled in and stood around her, she smiled. "Here we have our lookout platform. We use this platform to watch for any enemy aircrafts in the area. If there are any enemy aircrafts then we tell a pilot their exact position and movements at all times until the aircraft has been taken down." Lenora explained.
"But isn't that what a radar is for?" Josh asked rudely, his voice was deep and scratchy.
Lenora looked at him, but her expression wasn't angry, she still had that weird smile on her lips. "Why yes, but we use this platform to locate enemies if they manage to travel through our radars without being detected. And we can use the platform to locate enemy aircrafts if the power's off." Josh rolled his eyes, but he didn't say anything as he looked around with a bored look on his face.
"Excuse me Mrs. Lenora, but where is the platform exactly?" Cocoa asked kindly.
Lenora looked at Cocoa and giggled softly, I looked at Lenora with a lifted eyebrow. Weird lady… Cocoa didn't even say anything funny did she? I thought, my arms crossed over my chest.
She held a hand out next to her, motioning to the floor next to her. "Why, it's right here." She said.
Puzzled murmurs spread through the group. I stepped forward, in front of everyone, to look at the floor next to Lenora. It was faint, but the outline of a circle was etched into the floor. I looked directly above it, and sure enough there was a glass dome popping out of the roof of the building. I blinked in disbelief when I saw it. Again, that was just like my dream… What the heck was going on? The floor, the dome, the compound, it was exactly like my dream! But, is that even possible?
I bit my bottom lip. Better to find out than wonder about it for the rest of my life… I think…
I stepped up to Lenora. "Excuse me?" I asked her, my voice strong and firm.
She looked at me and smiled again, which was starting to creep me out. "Yes?" She replied.
I looked down at the circle in the floor. "How does it work? The platform I mean."
"Would you like to try it out?" She asked. I nodded, but I didn't say anything. She smiled again, ugh, and gently pushed me onto the circle. "Now you just stand here okay?" She explained.
I nodded again and held my breath nervously. Here we go, time to find out if the building really does blow up or not. The floor suddenly started to rise and oohs and ahs echoed from the group, it sounded so funny that I had to suppress a laugh. I saw Luke take Cocoa's hand and whisper something in her ear. She blushed and looked at Luke, nodding slightly, his face light up instantly and he bounced on his toes happily. I tilted my head to the side and lifted an eyebrow at them, what was that all about? I blinked and shrugged. It didn't matter, I would find out when I got back. Well… if we don't get blown up that is.
The floor suddenly stopped its ascension when the edge of the circle reached the dome's. I looked up and took in the sight of the large compound. Tall buildings were everywhere, a tall, probably electric, fence stretched around the compound with armed guards and watchtowers close by. A large clear area laid a few buildings away with several planes, jets, and helicopters, a large hangar stood close to the landing area. I leaned back against the glass dome and slid down to a sitting position and hand on my head, my legs tucked close to my chest.
This was all just too weird, everything was exactly the same as my dream. What was going on? I let my hand drop and looked in the direction where the explosion took place in my dream, the landing strip with all the aircrafts, but nothing unusual was going on over there. After a minute or two of sitting there in silence, the floor suddenly jerked up and down, making a loud creaking sound. I immediately jumped up to my feet and braced myself against the dome. The floor jerked again, making my head hit the top of the dome.
I put a hand on my head where it had hit the dome. "Ow!" I grumbled as I rubbed the spot on my head.
"The floor is jammed!" Lenora's voice reached my ears from underneath the floor, her voice was muffled, but I could still make it out.
"Can't you do anything? My best friend is up there!" Cocoa's voice piped in.
"Not until a mechanic fixes it. Hang on I'll contact one now." After a moment of muffled, but panicked, whispers from below, Lenora's voice spoke up again. "One's on his way here, he's at the landing strip so it shouldn't be too long until he shows up."
As if on cue, a sudden burst of light green light exploded at the landing strip. I jerked my head up and looked at the massive explosion in disbelief. Demolished aircrafts flew in all directions and a large building next to the landing strip collapsed. My eyes widened and I tried to swallow a lump that was forming in my throat.
"What was that?!" Lenora yelled. There was only a slight moment of terrified screams and yells before Lenora spoke again. "There's nothing but static… The communication building must be gone!" After a short pause her voice reached my ears again. "Kiela? Do you see any aircrafts in the perimeter?"
I paused and blinked, she must've gotten my name from Cocoa or Luke. I looked around the bright blue sky for any sign of a plane, but there were no planes as far as I could see. "No. The only aircrafts I see are pieces of yours from the landing strip." I yelled at the floor, trying to sound as calm as I could for Cocoa's sake. My voice echoed loudly in the small dome, making me cringe.
There was another pause before she spoke up again. "Are you sure?"
I nodded slowly, forgetting that she couldn't see me. "I'll check again though."
I quickly examined the sky once again where the explosion had taken place. But instead of a plane, jet, helicopter, or nothing like before, a human figure formed in the sky. He, at least I thought it was a he, was too far away to see any kind of details but he was flying pretty fast… and he was heading straight for this building!
My eyes widened before I looked back down at the floor and cupped my hands around my mouth and got ready to yell as loud as I could, not caring about the echo. "You all need to run now!" I yelled frantically, too late to keep calm now.
"What? Why?" Lenora's voice reached me. "Is something wrong? I need you to tell me what's wrong so we can send someone to take care of it."
I quickly shook my head. "You just need to run! Go quick before he blasts this building into nothing!"
I glanced up at the figure. The figure was so close now, I could start to make out some of the details. Pitch black hair that reached down to the middle of his back and he wore no shirt, revealing a muscular chest and abdomen. He wore loose white pants with a long red cloth wrapped around his waist, the red cloth looked like it was held in place by a golden metal belt with a teal gem in the middle. He also wore gold shoes with a teal gem on the front of them, he also had a rope necklace with a weird shaped gold metal plate, I guess that's what you would call it, tied to it with a teal gem in the middle of it, that one gem looked a little bigger than the other ones. He wore gold metal wristbands, that almost reached his elbows, with a teal gem in the front of them as well.
I groaned loudly. Great… My brother's here.
