I finally finished this chapter. OMG. I have been like three months since I last updated. Sorry to keep you waiting. I wonder if those who followed forgot about this. Don't worry I'm not offended if you did.
Anyways, This is a long one. So I hope you have a lot of time on your hands.
I can't tell you if this going to be a common this. The length of chapters will be solely based on what I think in a good stop point.
Also, I want to point out that there seems to be a glitch on this website that sometimes chapters would come out as code should if that happen here can you please tell me.
Anyways, On with the story.
Cassie woke up with a shock. She was laying on the sleeping cot on her stomach with Mr. Doluk shaking her awake.
"Cassadara, Wake up!" Mr. Doluk said. "I got the order."
Cassie stood up quickly and rubbed her eye. "Really? That fast?" She asked.
"Yes," Mr. Doluk replied. "Last night I contacted Professor Carter and when the queen heard that we have the children, she was thrilled and order that we bring to Eueneka immediately." Mr. Doluk said happily.
Cassie was surprised by Mr. Doluk's excitement but she was glad to see him so happy. "I'll go wake up the children." She said while getting out of bed.
"Not yet," Mr. Doluk said. "We need to go over the protocol first." He told her.
"Oh right!" Cassie said. Cassie sat back down on the cot. She then just felt around the cot. "Je-po?" She asked in confusion. Wondering what happened to her little robot friend. She then heard a groan coming from behind her. She turned around to see that she accidently pushed him off the bed. "Oh, Je-po!" She picked up her little robot friend. "I'm so sorry." She apologized.
"It's alright, Cassie," Je-po said. "I'm fine."
"Sorry to interrupt," Mr. Doluk said trying to get their attention. "But the protocol."
"Oh, of course," Je-po said as Cassie turned around to face.
"Now, Let's us begin." He started.
Sealand was woken up by Seychelles shaking him awake.
"Sealand, Wake up!" She said to him in a hushed whisper.
"Mm... What?" he asked groggily. Poor Sealand didn't get enough sleep last night, after his talk with T.R.N.C. he couldn't go to sleep, His thought kept him awake. He didn't know when he fell asleep or how long he been asleep, but he know that it wasn't long.
"Are you awake now?" A deep tone voice said. Sealand looked up to see Mr. Doluk standing in front of him. "Stand up, please." He said. It wasn't a question, it was an order.
Sealand stood up quickly with the help of Seychelles. He took a moment to look around the room to see that the others standing shoulder to shoulder in a single file line. All of them looked worried. T.R.N.C. walked in between him and Seychelles, rubbing his eyes. Sealand guessed that he didn't have a good night sleep either.
"Children!" Mr. Doluk shouted, getting all of their attention. "Today is a special day for you." He said happily, which kinda freak them out. "We'll tell you everything but first you'll have to follow my instructions." Cassie slowly walked in front of the children with Je-po preached on her shoulder, carrying one of the stool from the large table in one hand and in the other she held a small box, it was about 3x3x2 with a white bottom and blue top. Cassie dropped the stool in front of them. Mr. Doluk turned to her and asked "Cassie? Are you ready?"
"Wait." She said. She put the box on the stool then used her right hand to brushed her hair on the right side of her head behind her ear. The children were surprised to see that Cassie's ear was pointed and that on the side of her forehead was what seems to be a little black square. Cassie then used her left hand to hold her head in place and used her right hand to peel the square off and discarded it on the floor. "Ronka." she said to Mr. Doluk.
"Wonka?" Sealand heard Molassia say in confusion, but the two adults ignored him.
"Alright," Mr. Doluk said. He then turned back to the children. "I will call you up one by one. When I call you up you will sit on the stool and sit still. Cassadara will put something on the sid. She of your forehead, don't be frighted, it won't hurt you. Afterward when Cassadara gives you her approval, you will sit at the table for further instructions." Mr. Doluk turned to Sealand. "You are up first."
Sealand turned to the others in fear. They didn't dare to move and say anything. Cautiously he walked to the stool.
Cassie smiled at him as he sat down, but that didn't ease the tension he was feeling. She grasped his arms to positioned him to her liking.
"Now please don't be scared." Je-po said. "This will be over in just a minute. Cassie is going to give you something. You might feel a little pinch."
Cassie opened the little box and pulled out a little square, similar to the one she just took off only in a different color, this one was a dark then grab the side of his head and press something into the side of his forehead. Je-po was right about the pinch but what he didn't mention was the splitting headache he received afterward. It felt like someone was hammering nails into his head while playing a high pitch beeping sound in his ear nonstop at the same time.
"Ana kaka ke." He heard a voice says. He turned to see where it was coming from. "Ana kaka ke." He heard it again. He looked in the direction of where it was coming from and was meet face to face with Cassie. "Do you understand me?" she asked.
"Yes." He replied in confusion. He then heard several gasps coming from the others. He turned his head to face the others and saw that they all were standing there in shock. He was about to ask them what's wrong but was cutted off my Cassie.
"Great!" She said happily. "Now, can you please go sit at the table and wait for a while." She pointed at the table and Sealand did want he was told.
After that, T.R.N.C was forced up too. It was pretty much the same process as before, but he took a little longer then Sealand. "Yes." He heard him said. Sealand was taken back by this. Didn't he say last night that he didn't know English? T.R.N.C. have joined Sealand at the table, he sat in the chair across from him.
"T.R.N.C., You speak English?!" Sealand asked him in slightly demanding tone.
T.R.N.C. was surprised by this. "I don't. You're speaking Turkish." He replied.
Just then Seychelles joined them, she sat next to Sealand.
"Seychelles, What Language are we speaking?" Sealand as her.
"I don't know." She replied.
"How don't you know?" Sealand questioned her. "We're clearly speaking English!"
"No, we're saying Turkish." Interrupted T.R.N.C.
"Actually, You both are wrong." She said.
"What?" They both asked in utter confusion.
"Sealand," Seychelles turned to face him. "When you were on the stool, Cassie kept on repeating something to you and you replied in the same language as her. T.R.N.C. did the same this. And before I got here you two were speaking to each in the strange language."
"What? But how?" Sealand asked.
"I don't know," Seychelles said. She leaned back to look at others. Currently, the one on the stool was Latvia. He was taking even longer than she, T.R.N.C and Sealand. No matter how much Cassie repeated the phrase, he anyway never responded.
"Maybe this patch is defective." Cassie inquired.
"Try to push it in a little deeper." Suggested Mr. Doluk.
"Alright." She said. Cassie then grabbed Latvia's head with both hands and started to use her left thumb to press on the blue square.
"Ow,ow,ow,ow,ow." Latvia started shouting. Cassie quickly lets go of his head when she heard this.
"Sorry." She apologized. "I didn't might it to hurt that much. Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I am," Latvia said as he rubbed his head.
"Oh good, It's working now." Cassie smiled.
"Yeah, It is," Latvia mumbled sadly.
"Alright now go join your friend," Cassie said happily.
After seeing that scene unfold, Something clicked in Seychelles' head. "I think it is the things they putting on our heads." She concluded.
"Really?" asked T.R.N.C.
"Um, What are you guys talking about?" A confused Latvia asked and came up the table and joined them. He slowly sat in the other chair next to Sealand.
"Well, you see..." Seychelles started before being cut off by Mr. Doluk.
"Children." He called from across the room. "I think it is better if all of you stay quiet for now said otherwise."
The four at the table dropped their heads in disappointment.
Soon after, everyone were finished and now they were sitting on around the table. Mr. Doluk, Cassie, and Je-po stood in front of them.
"Now I understand you have many questions." Mr. Doluk started.
"No, Shit," mumbled Sealand under his breath. Seychelles gave him a face to tell him to watch his language.
"First, Let's properly introduce ourselves," Mr. Doluk said as he put his hand on his chest. "My name is Edon Doluk. I prefer that you call me Mr. Doluk."
Cassie spoke up and put her hand on his chest also. " And I'm his daughter, Cassadara Doluk, but you can call me Cassie." She said happily.
"And I am Je-po," said robot perked up. "I am Cassie's personal robot companion."
"Alright," Mr. Doluk said. "Now that we got that out of the way, Let's get down to business." Mr. Doluk took out another square box. It was blue with a large glass lens in the middle of it. He put it in the middle of the table. Automatically, Lights started to beam out of the glass lens and a holographic image appeared in front of them. The image was of a planet that looks similar to Earth. Its landmasses were large and close together, only to be separated by a few rivers and small oceans. The image itself was very detailed, with white, green and light yellow terrain for snow, grasslands and sand respectfully.
"This is Euraka," Mr. Doluk said proudly. "Our home planet."
"This might come as a shock for you," Cassie spoke up. "But we are not from this planet."
"That explains a lot." snorted Molassia.
"We are from Euraka. A beautiful planet with futile land, amazing animals and the best of all...Unity." rambled on Mr. Doluk. "Every citizen work together and Love and respect each other."
"And this is also where you'll be going," Cassie said happily.
The children were shocked. They all were afraid to say a word. Until one spoke up, "What?!" they asked.
"We have been given an order to retrieve you and bring you to Euraka." said Je-po.
"But why?" asked Sealand.
"Our queen sees potential in all of you," Mr. Doluk said. "Potential that isn't in anyone else on this planet. So she wishes for you to come to our Euraka, so we can help unlock your potential."
"But what about our parents?" questioned Kugelmugel. "Do they know about it?"
At this question, Cassie, , and Je-po gave each other wary looks. As if they trying to hide something. "They're completely on board with it." surprisedly nonchalantly.
"A little too on board with it, if you ask me," Cassie muttered under her breath so quietly that only herself and Je-po, who was on her shoulder, could hear her.
"Anyways, The ship that will take us to Euraka will be here very soon. It will take about six hours to get there so I want you all to be full when it gets here. There might snacks on the ship, but I will not make any promises." Mr. Doluk Conclued the conservation and walked to the barrels and pots of food. "Cassadara, Will you help me with this?" He asked. Cassie nodded and went to the barrels and pots also, after taking Je-po off her shoulder and on the table with the children.
The children were silent. They have no idea what to say. Being told that the people they're currently with were aliens and that they are taking them to a foreign planet that none of them have ever heard of before and also that their guardians were okay with this was too shocking to process. Five of them were so upset that they didn't want to make eye contract with anyone, other four just sat still, but Kugelmugel sat there with a harsh scowl on his face. He didn't believe a word out of their mouth; he saw first hand what they can do, he can sense that these aliens have a different agenda in mind.
Je-po sensed the pressure in the room. "Don't worry," He tried to comfort them. "You'll love it."
After their breakfast of more cornmeal and water. Mr. Doluk sent then to the bathroom(which was upstairs) and then gathered all of them outside the warehouse. According to Mr. Doluk, Cassie and Je-po were already waiting for them in the clearing they need to be. Mr. Doluk lined the children up in single file and started to go over protocol.
"I'll now take you to the cleaning. When the ship comes, I want you all to walked in an orderly fashion. After that, I'll allow you to sit wherever you a reminder, It will take about six hours to get Euraka, during that time you'll be able to entertain yourselves with the available equipment on the ship. Also, Cassie will be asking you question later, so be prepared for that. " Mr. Doluk finished his speech. He looked over the children. He checked that all the children were there and when he was sure that they all were there, He turned his back to them and wave his hand forward. "Follow me." He said.
He led them into the cleaning. Cassie and Je-po were standing there, along with a couple of barrel and pots that Cassie probably carried there. "You're here!" Cassie called out to them in a hyper tone. "Great! I have good news! The ship will be here in a few minutes." Suddenly a huge gust of wind pass by, causing the trees to bend, the leaves to go wild, their hair to cover their face and Sealand's hat to fly off his head.
"My hat!" He cried out. He tried to run out of it but was stopped by Mr. Doluk.
"Stay close." He yelled at him. Mr. Doluk grasped Sealand's wrist harshly, he pulled him back to the group with force.
"I guess I made a miscalculation." Cassie said as she looked up to the sky. Lights then started to appear in big circles which were getting closer and closer to them. They also could hear a loud whooping sound hitting their eardrums.
"Stay back," ordered. The children slowly back away in fear of what will happen next.
As the ship grew closer, they could actually see it take form. It was long and flat, sorta likes the shape of a manta ray. It was the color of black with neon blue lining. It slowly lowered itself down until it was hovering only a few feet over the ground. The small part of the ship started to break off and flipped upside down. The part extended on touch the ground. Once it touched the ground the part then turned into a ramp that lead up to the inside of the ship. They realized that the part was actually a door. Two men walked in between the doorway. They wore the same uniform as the security guards who would at the world meeting. What was odd was that one had green hair and the other had dark purple hair.
"Sir!" The green haired one saluted .
Mr. Doluk walked towards them and Cassie followed. "At ease soldiers." He told them calmly. "Everything really for our departure?" He asked.
"Yes, sir." repelled the purple haired one.
"Great." He said. "Cassadara, bring the children inside. You two, bring those pots and barrels in for us." He ordered.
"Yes, sir." All three of them said and all did what they were told.
"Come children," Cassie called to them. "There nothing to be afraid of."
"Cassie," Je-po spoke up. "Shall I start the scanning process?" He asked.
"Oh yeah," Cassie remembered. "Children!" She called out again. "I want you all to line up in a single file then come up here one by one so Je-po can scan you."
The children didn't move through. They were too afraid to.
"Scan us? Scan us for what?" Whispered Seychelles.
"Maybe it's their form of airport security," Seborga suggested.
"Even if it is. I'm not going up there!" Wy chimed in.
"But then where Will you go?" Molassia asked her. "I strongly doubt that you come find a way back on your own."
Cassie stood there confused. "Children!" She called out again.
"Why don't you call them up by name?" Suggested the purple haired soldier as he walked by Cassie with a pot.
"I was order not to remember their names." She replied.
"CHILDREN!" shouted a loud booming voice. Mr. Doluk stood there with his arm crossed. "Get on the ship this instant! Or do you to travel with the cargo?" He asked.
The children exchanged looks and reluctantly started to walk up the ramp. First one up the ramp was Sealand, followed by Latvia and Seychelles. When they walked up, Cassie ordered them to stick out their arms and stand still. Je-po then scanned them. He produced a beam from his screen and ran it over them. He told them when he was done and let them walk in. The other kids eventually followed and Je-po scanned them and Cassie lead them inside.
The inside of the side was breathtaking. The inside was modeled similarly to the inside of an airplane. There were two aisle of seats. The seats were huge and cushioned with a wide arm rest. There was something flat in between the left side of the seat and armrest, probably the table. Each aisle had rows of two seats. There were many more seats than they would have need. At the back of the ship was a door on the side, which was probably the bathroom, and second door in the middle of the wall. Everything was sleek and clean and the whole room have recurrently colors of blue and white.
"Like I said before. Sit wherever you like." Mr. Doluk said calmly.
The children scattered around the room and started to fill in the seats. Sealand saw that T.R.N.C. didn't know where to sit.
"Hey, T.R.N.C.! Over here!" Sealand called out to him. T.R.N. surprised but he was thankful of Sealand and sat next to him.
"Since when did them got all buddy-buddy?" Wy asked Latvia who was standing right next to her. Latvia just shrugged.
Soon, Everyone was seated. Cassie and Mr. Doluk sat in the front right seat. Two rows behind them, there was Sealand and T.R.N.C. Behind those two were Latvia and Wy and two rows behind them were Ladonia and Kugelmugel. On the left side were the two soldiers in the front seats, two rows behind them were Seychelles and Liechtenstein and behind them were Molassia and Seborga. In the back were two female soldiers who were already in the ship but were in the back room of the ship, which was behind the door in the middle of the wall, so they did see them. One of the women have pink hair, the other was blue-haired. One of the women walked up to Cassie, Mr. Doluk, and the male soldiers, she told them something and then all of them followed her towards the back of the ship. The kids pretty much sat down on the seat because there seem to be no seatbelts anyway.
"What is with their hair color?" Wy asked. Noticing the hair that the soldiers have.
"I don't know," said Latvia. "Cassie and Mr. Doluk don't have it." Latvia titled his head to look at the back of Cassie's and Mr. Doluk's head. With closer examination, he noticed that they, in fact, did have oddly colored hair. Cassie's hair was a dark blue that from a distance looks black. Mr. Doluk's hair was dark green that looks like black. "Nevermind, They do. See."
Wy looked closer. "You're right." She said. "Is this a common thing on their planet?"
"I don't Know," Latvia said once again.
"Will you stop saying that!" Wy snapped at him.
Latvia was shocked by this. "I'm sorry." He apologized to her and lower his head in shame.
Wy was now guilty, she didn't mean to make him feel bad. "Hey, I didn't to upset you." Wy put his hand on his shoulder. "I'm just a little upset right now."
Latvia raised his head up. He couldn't help but smile at the girl. She reminded him of Sealand in so many ways, even through she will usually say that she was totally different from Sealand. "I can understand. I am very upset right now too. "
"Really? You don't seem that upset," said Wy.
"Well, I didn't want to seem scared because I afraid I might scare you guys. You're so little." Latvia admitted.
"Oi, I'm not little! I have you know that unlike the pommy over there I am actually recognized as a country." Wy said while pointing at the seat in front of her, which was Sealand's seat.
Latvia just chuckled. She was truly just like Sealand.
"Hey, T.R.N.C?" Sealand asked to get his attention.
"hm?" T.R.N.C looked straight at him.
"I were wondering..." Sealand started. "What were you saying the night before? When you were crying."
"Oh." T.R.N.C. realized what he meant. T.R.N.C.'s tone suddenly change from indifference to depressed.
Sealand noticed his change. "I-if you don't want to talk about it.."
"N-no." T.R.N.C. repealed. T.R.N.C. took a deep breathe. "I was calling for my father."
"Your father?" Sealand asked.
"Turkey." T.R.N.C. responded.
"He's your father?" Sealand asked.
"I was created within him." T.R.N.C. examined.
"Then he is your mother then," Sealand said back.
"No, he's not," T.R.N.C. said back. He seems to be a little offended. "He's a man."
"A man can be a mother," Sealand said. "Just look at my mom."
"England?" T.R.N.C. asked.
"What?! No! It's Finland." Sealand said loudly.
"Huh? How? Wasn't you created by England?" T.R.N.C. asked in confusion.
Sealand seems to be taken back by that. "Well...Yeah, but.. He abandoned me! And Sweden and Finland took me in. So they're my parents. Not bloody England." He said angrily.
"Wow," T.R.N.C said softly. "That really a sensitive topic for you. I'm sorry for asking."
"Huh?" Sealand was surprised. He never really thought of his relationship with his older brother was something that really bother him. England is just a jerk. "No. Don't apologize. It's not a big deal."
"Children," Mr. Doluk said in his demanding voice to grab the kids attention. "We'll be leaving any minute now. Stay in your seats." Mr. Doluk, Cassie, and the soldiers went to sit in their destinated seats. "Buckles on!" He yelled for some reason. Then out of nowhere 4-point seatbelts harness appear and wrapped themselves around the children's torsos. Forcing them to sit with their backs on the seats. Some screamed out in shock.
"Don't be afraid." They heard Cassie say. Trying to reassure them.
Next, A beeping sound fill the ship. "Hello," said a woman "This is your pilot speaking." She said. "And I am proud to have you as my passengers today. It's truly a momentous moment that this is the First time Earthlings have travel on a Eurakan ship. Now I understand that Earth travel is not as advance as Eurakan travel but I hope you will learn to like it. Now we will be going to Euraka right now. It will take about six hours according to Earth hours, but the first thing we need to do is to leave the Earth's orbit. It will take about a few minutes to do on turbo speed, which is what we use to push through a planet's gravitational pull. It might come to a shock to you but not to worry, it will be over before you notice." The pilot finished her speech happily and signed off with a beep.
The ship then sped up to what felt like 100+ miles per hour. Everyone was pulled back by the force. Their vision was terribly blurred. None of them could make up any shape. All they saw was just streaks of colors. Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, White passed by them like it was nothing. There wasn't any sound either. It was if they were going so fast that even sound couldn't catch up to them. Then suddenly everything came to a stop.
The beeping sound appeared again. "We have now left the Earth's orbit," said the pilot. "See I told you it wasn't going to take long." She said happily. "Now if you wish, you can activate your personal entertainment system, located between your seat and the arm rest, to look at the beauty of our cosmos. If you need any assistance notify one of the soldiers on the ship. I'll notify you when we reach our destination. Please enjoy your flight." And with that the pilot signed off.
"Thank god we went to the bathroom before getting on because I sure that I would have shit myself if we didn't." Molassia said aloud.
The rest of the trip wasn't as eventful as the departure. It was pretty much like a basic airplane trip, which they were already used to. The soldiers severed as the flight attendants and would constantly asking them if they need anything. Halfway through the trip Cassie had went up to them and asked them if there was any particular school subject that they were interested in. Thinking it was just Cassie trying to break the ice between them they answered according: Sealand said engineering, T.R.N.C. said sociology, Latvia said literature, Seychelles said marine biology, Wy, Kugelmugel and Seborga all said on art (Painting for Wy and Kugelmugel and ceramics for Seborga), Liechtenstein and Molassia said horticulture and Ladoina said computer programming. It was kinda weird for them to talk about school subjects, since none of them have ever gone to a real school, (Seychelles, Latvia and Liechtenstein had gone to a sort of university for nations only once. It was an effort from the nations bosses to promote world peace, but it blew up in their faces.) So they didn't really know what subjects there were but Cassie seems to like their responds and went back to Mr. Doluk.
After what seems to be forever, the pilot came back on the intercom. "My dear passengers, We have now reached our destination. For safety reason please stay in your seats until general Doluk tells you otherwise. Thank you. It was a pleasure having you. "
"General?" Sealand and T.R.N.C. asked in each other. Shock at Mr. Doluk's high ranking position.
The soldiers, who were in the back room when the announcement came on, scurried to the door. The two male soldiers put their hand on the side of it, which seems to be some sort of sensors because once they did that the door started to open. The female soldiers poked their head outside and then... wave to someone? The purple haired one turn to Mr. Doluk and called out. "Everything's secure sir."
"Excellent." He said. "Buckles off!" He yelled and the seat belt retracted. He and Cassie stood up. Cassie picked up her purse which was on the floor and checked if Je-po, who she put on sleep mode, was inside it. When she said he was, she threw her purse over her shoulder and walked towards the children with Mr. Doluk.
"Well, we're here," Cassie said happily.
"On your planet?" Latvia asked.
"Yes!" Cassie nodded.
"How come we did go through that turbo speed thing like how we did when we left Earth?" Molassia asked.
"Our planet have manual openings in our orbit." Mr. Doluk examined. "Ships can go in and out without needing to be forceful."
"Um," Liechtenstein looked at the door opening. The four soldiers were waiting patiently for them. "Do we need helmets or something to go outside?" She asked.
"Oh, no. Our atmosphere is very similar to yours." Cassie reassured her. "It is safe."
"Alright, now if we are out of questions. Let's go." Mr. Doluk said. "Single- filed, please." He told them.
They looked at each other in a quiet staredown to decide who was move frist. Liechtenstein decided to take the lead and the others slowly forward.
Once outside, they were surprised by their location. First thing was that they weren't at what they excepted they would be. They thought that they would have thought was the Eurakan version of an airport, instead they were at what seems to be a private school. It was a large rectangular perimeter surrounded by a large brick wall. At each corner there stood towers, there were probably for guards. Right now, they were standing in an orange-tiled area, which was probably a landing mat for ships because it was noticeably different from the rest of the area. To the right of them was a large field, left untouched except for a fence that currently closed it off to them. To the left was a Large rectangular outdoors swimming pool, completed with white tiles, silver metal pool ladders and Its own changing room building. In front of them was gray colored tiles which lead up to huge stairs that lead up to a huge building. It was tan, about three stories high and with large glass windows. Standing in front of the were a line of guards standing up straight and shoulder to shoulder.
"This is where you will be staying," Mr. Doluk told them.
"Here?" Sealand asked "For what?"
"For education. Cassie chimed in. "Our queen believes they have the potential made for future leaders, but in order to correctly use your potential you have to be taught properly. And that why you're here."
"It will be an enlighting experience for you," Mr. Doluk told them. He then turned to Cassie and said "Cassie will you mind if I can have Je-po for a moment."
"No, problem." She said. She went into her purse and took out Je-po and pulled on his antenna. "Je-po wake up." She said.
Je-po shook awake. "Hm, Yes Cassie. What do you need?" He asked.
" want to see you for a moment." She said.
"Alright," Je-po said. Cassie then handed Je-po to Mr. Doluk.
"Thank you." He said. "Cassie will you be a dear and give the children a tour."
"Of course." She said. "Come on children." She waved to them. Having nothing else to do in this situation. The followed her while Mr. Doluk and Je-po went to one of the towers with some of the soldiers.
Cassie lead them towards the building while giving basic information about the location. Obliviously the swimming pool and grass field was for exercising, they could have guessed that. She also told them that the school there were at is actually close by the capital of their planet. She also examined that the reason it was so heavy guarded was that their queen wanted them to be 100% safe in their new home. As if they would actually think of it as a home. She also told that this school was actually specifically made for them. Apparently, building things in Euraka was faster and easier than building things on Earth.
She led them to the front door and without doing anything the doors opened. "Sensors." She told them happily. Yeah, They would need to get used to that.
She showed they the ground floor first. The lobby was about square with a large staircase in the middle which lead to the second floor. Hanging from the ceiling was a large chandelier that looks like an upside down wedding cake in form and had pink crystal hanging from it. The floor board looked like petrified wood. The walls were painted golden and shined with the light of the chandelier. To the right of the lobby was the dining hall, with a long rectangular table for them and smaller circular table surrounding it for the staff and guards: In the back was the kitchen, lights hung around the room. To the left of the lobby was the auditorium, fitted with cushioned seats and a large stage. The second floor was what Cassie called the learning floor. It had a basic classroom, an indoor gym and a few rooms specifically for certain subjects. The third was where they would be sleeping. The kids would have to share a huge room together. There were ten beds put into two horizontal rows, five in each and facing each others. Next to each bed was a small drawer for each kid to put their belongings. In the back of the room were the bathrooms, Boys on the left: Girls on the right. Down the hall is where Cassie, Mr. Doluk, and the staff will sleep.
After the tour, Cassie took them back to the auditorium for a special announcement. The children talked quietly among themselves while waiting for the soldiers to set something up.
"This place is impressive," Seborga stated.
"Ja." Liechtenstein responded. "I'm a bit flattered since they made it especially for us."
"Yeah, to brainwash us," Kugelmugel stated sharply.
"Kugel!" Liechtenstein scolded at him.
"He got a point," T.R.N.C. spoke up for his defense. "They keep telling us we have 'potential' " and gave us a newly build school with beautiful interior and everything. It is obvious that they are trying to win our favor."
"But why?" Seychelles asked. "Why us and not the others?"
"Children!." Mr. Doluk interpreted them. "We are ready to begin." He said and sat down next to them with Cassie. (Which reminded him to give Je-po back to her.)
They all looked towards the stage. A beam of light projected on the stage, from the light digitized the image of a woman. She was about in her mid-30s. She have a curvy figure and stood at about 5 feet 7 inches with the heels she wore. She wore a dark blue female suit with a skirt that went down to her knees, black stocking, dark blue heels and a brown belt in her mid-section. She had long wavy white hair that went to her hips, dark brown skin and gray eyes. The projection was really good since it actually looked like she was standing there.
"Hello, Children." The woman said. "You must be worrying right now 'Who is that woman.' Well, Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Queen Unireka of Euraka. The most beautiful planet in the Andromeda galaxy. If I did say so myself."
"ANDROMEDA!?" Latvia yelled in shock then got shush at by Mr. Doluk and Cassie.
"Now let me say that it's an honor to have you on my planet. I'm sorry that I can't be there in person, but something came up. Anyways, you all probably have a lot of question right now and I'll try my best to answer them. Now, Why are you here? Well to simply explain, all of you have two things. Frist is that you all have potential.."
"Here we go again." Kugelmugel scoffed.
"The potential of future leaders. The second thing is..." The queen paused for a moment and then start again. "You all are orphans."
All of them was in shock. What on earth is she talking about?
"Yes. I know that must be hard to hear but sadly, It is true." The queen said. Other hologram appeared next to her. The image was of ten pieces of paper. Each piece had a picture of one of them along with a basic description of them and at the bottom was the signature of their legal guardians. (Since they all look under the age of 18 they all had legal guardians, usually their parent nation.) "These are your Eurakan birth certificates. By signing them, your parents have given full legal custody of you to the Eurakan government. A few month ago, I sent representatives from my planet to yours, to talk to your parents about sending you to Euraka for education. But instead they actually offered you up! According to one representative, one of them said 'she was too much trouble anyway.' I don't know who she is, but it breaks my heart to heard someone say that about their own child. It's sickening. Suddenly a loud bang was heard. The queen turned her head to the noise which means that it came from her end. She motioned to someone and then turn back. "I apologize for that. We are having technical difficulties. Anyways, back to your certificates. With these certificates, you all are now Eurakan. To celebrate this momentous event, you will be given new Eurakan names. These names are what you will be identified as while you're on Euraka. Now I know it's hard to shallow but I know for certain that you'll get used to it soon. I will now leave you in the custody of General Doluk and his daughter. Listen to them well, you're in their hands. Oh, and before I sign off I want to tell you that I have left gifts for you. I have given them to General Doluk and he will distribute them when he deem it appropriate. This is queen Unireka signing off." And with that the hologram disappeared.
The children just sat there in shock. They didn't have time to think about what happened because Mr. Doluk had walked in front of them. "Now that that is over with, I believe that it is time for dinner, and after that is it off the bed. You will be waking up early tomorrow." He said to them. "Cassie showed you the dining room right? Let see if you remember where it is." The children stood up and slowly walked to the dining hall. When he was sure that all the children left the auditorium he turned to one of the soldiers in the room and said "Tell the chef to put a bit of the sleeping serum in the dinner. We want the children to start getting into sleeping early as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir." The soldier said.
Meanwhile, When queen Unireka finished her speech and signed off, she turned to her audience. Her audience for today wasn't her usually citizens, no, today her audience consists of the personifications of Earth's nation themselves. All of them were sitting in mechanical chairs. These specially designed chairs bind their wrists and ankles to prevent them from moving. They also had gags in their mouths to prevent them from speaking. She looked at them with a charming smile.
"Did you liked the presentation?" She asked them. "Personally, I think it's one of my best work. But I now I got a question for you." Her charming expression was now gone and replaced with a cold aura. "Which one of you had the GULLS to interrupt me?" She asked, not really to them since she knows herself that they can't answer back. "No answer alright." She turned to one of her personal bodyguards. "Guards, who was it?" she asked.
"It was the brown haired one with the bandage on his nose." One of them responded while pointing at the personification of Australia. "He broke one of his ankle binds and kicked the seat in front of him." He explained.
"Really now? Alright, put him in solitary confinement and put the other back in their cells." Queen Unireka ordered. "I'll be waiting in the ship. Come when you finish."
"Yes, madam!" They saluted and follow her orders. When they were taking him away, Australia thought about his dear little sister and how he and many others were tricked into signing those wretched papers.
After dinner, Cassie took them all upstair to get really for bed but this time when they went into the bedroom. Laying on the bed was what seems to be tablets, one on each bed, and each tablet had a specific picture of one of them on their screens.
"These are your Learning Journals," Cassie said. " Each journal was personally assigned to each of you. You will be using this to track your learning, do your assignments and keep in contract with each other, Mr. Doluk and me. Ok, now I want you all to find your picture then hold your journal up to your face."
Doing what they were told, all of them looked down the line for their picture. Wy was the first to find her's. She held it up and try to get a closer look at it before the journal shined a bright red beam in her face. "Gahh." She yelped.
"Facial recognition confirmed." It said. "Welcome, Auday."
"Auday?" She asked.
"That's your new name," Cassie explained. She looked at the other in confusion. "What's wrong? Why didn't you unlock your yet? If there are any technical difficulties I'll just alert Mr. Doluk and.."
"No no no. It's fine." Sealand said. Not wanting to deal with Mr. Doluk right now because right now he was too tired for any trouble. He held it and let the beam scan him.
"Facial recognition confirmed." His said. "Welcome, Jasplar."
The other then followed suit.
"Ava." Seychelles's said.
"Niko." Latvia's said.
"Maril." Liecthtenstien's said.
"Avet." T.R.N.C. said
"Salor." Molassia's said.
"Caiper." Ladonia's said.
"Hana." Kugelmugel's said.
"Hana?! That's a girl's name!" Kugelmugel said mortified.
"Huh?" Cassie said in confusion. "No, it isn't. It a gender neutral name. Well never mind that." Cassie brushed in off and change the subject. "Now look in the drawer next to the bed." He ordered.
They all took a look and in each drawer there were clothes, about 5 sets, each set was in a plastic bag. Taking them out, them could see that there were given a dark blue uniform that was similar to what the queen wore when she talked to them via hologram (Which differ depending whether a boy or a girl; girls had skirt and stocking, boys had long pants.) along with their own set on brown boots, next they have a type of gym uniform, which consists of a white t-shirt, blue shorts and white sneakers, a dark blue swimsuit (one-piece for girls, Short for boys), light blue traditional pajamas and a bag of undergarments.
"Do you like it?" Cassie asked. "These are persona gift from the queen. Remember when Je-po scan you before you got on the ship?, Well, He did that to your correct size and send that information to the queen's officials so that they can make the perfect clothes tailored to you." Cassie explained.
"Oh, That so kind," Liechtenstein said nervously.
"Isn't it Maril?" Cassie agreed with her. "Oh, What time it is? I need to put you to bed. If you all would be dear, Can you change into you pajamas right now. You can do it in the bathroom if you feel uncomfortable doing it in the open. Oh, but I was also told that you need to put your dirty clothing in a destinated laundry box, which are in the bathrooms, so don't forget to do that. Also when you all ready, I'll read you a story to help you go to sleep. Anyways, It's getting late so please hurry up."
Feeling very tired themselves. They did want them were told and tucked themselves in their given beds. Cassie sat down on the floor, right in the middle of rows of bed and started her story. "Many eons ago.." She began.
Damn this chapter was long. According to the print preview of this it like 17 pages long. The other two was about 8. XD
Anyway, Things are heating up. I guess now you all can guess who the villain of this story is, how well did I portrayed her.
Sorry If the ending is a little sloppy, I just really wanted to finish this and tomorrow I need to go somewhere and I don't know how long I'll be out.
Anyways, Please comment, like or follow and have a nice day :)
