World Academy W

As the grim hallways continue to move slowly in unknown directions, Yasna sits on the floor devastated and weeps. She has used her ribbon to press the bleeding whole in her head. Her friend, who is still stuck on the block of long spikes observes her concerned.

"Yasna" he utters.

"I lost an eye!" she screams.

"You need to continue while you still have the strength..."

"What's the point?!" she cries out. "Whatever I do, things only get worse! Why even try?"

Ivan groans in pain. She looks up at her friend. Her tear-filled eye makes everything seem blurry. Still, the image of her impaled friend makes her immediately jump up.

"I don't have much time left" he says way too accepting of his fate.

Snapping out of it just a little, she looks at his wounds worried. Pondering for a second, she starts running. "Help? Can someone help me? My friend and I are hurt!" she yells from the top of her voice.

Ivan observes her as she disappears around the corner, still calling for help.

"Don't worry, I'll be right here. You can't miss me" he adds sarcastically.

Next scene: Still yelling, Yasna finally hears a weak answer. "Over here!" Wang Yao's voice is barely heard from the moving wall. She comes closer and presses her ear to it. "Thank goodness. I need medical supplies and a stretcher. Do you have any?" she yells at the wall.

"Yes! What happened? Are you alright?" his very muffled voice is heard sounding almost inaudible.

"Please speak up. I can't here you" she says.

Next scene: On the other side of the wall, Wang Yao screams from the top of his voice. "I said, we do. What happened!" he shouts making the other students who have chosen to follow him him cover their ears.

Yasna's voice barely comes through. "Ivan is bleeding. I need to..."

Barely hearing her muffled voice, Wang Yao makes a frustrated voice and yells back. "Move away from the wall!" After a muffled okay, he prepares himself and concentrates on his punch. With a loud scream, his hand hits the wall making the bricks shatter. What is left is a whole large enough for a single person to come through. Yasna stares from the other side amazed.

Next scene: Bhart takes a small saw to cut the block, while Wang Yao patches Yasna's eye. Her rib was also broken but the spear didn't puncture the skin. The walls became unusually peaceful and stationary but damaged from their little walks.

"You got yourself in quite a predicament, haven't you?" Bhart says to Ivan as the two boys gently place him on the ground. The big student laughs it off.

"Thank you so much. I don't know how I would do this without you" Yasna says with a grateful smile.

The two boys blush. "Don't worry about it" Wang Yao says.

Her walkie talkie activates. "Yasna, are you at the location?" the councillor says in a hurrying tone.

"I lost it. Can you tell me where it is?" she replies. The two boys look at her confused.

"No time to explain. I have to get to the basketball courts" she says sounding even more cryptic and runs listening to her walkie talkie. Loud bangs are heard from the outside.

"Wait? What is going on?" Wang Yao says panicking.

"Calm down friend" Bhart says tending to the wounded student peacefully. "Everyone has their own dharma to fulfil."

Next scene: She runs through the hallways as the sounds of destruction become more apparent. Unnerved and gasping for air, she continues even faster. On her way there, she flinches at the sound of Arthur's voice. Taking slow casual steps, Arthur comes forward standing confident. She observes him with a neutral expression.

"It's all pointless. There is no way you can win" he starts his speech. She listens as the bangs are heard outside.

"The world has become too corrupt. It's too late to change anything now. Might as well, wipe all the impurities away and start over" he states openly. Not getting a reaction, he steps forward: "You see, the world..." He is interrupted by a spear flying through his mouth, instantaneously pinning him to the wall behind. His eyes widen as his uniform is covered in blood.

We see his legs twitch as Yasna runs off not looking back.

Next scene: Finally at the location, Yasna kicks the door and enters inside. The courts are huge and almost completely destroyed. Yasna looks around terrified not knowing where to search first. The ground shakes as the bangs become louder.

"Now, if I was a pair of controllers, where would I be?" she thinks and instinctively looks up. A large score board dangles in the middle of the court. Not liking her chances, Yasna puts the hook attached to a rope and aims up. The hook shatters the black display and seems to lodge itself into something.

Pulling herself up, she whimpers from pain of her broken rib barely holding on to the rope. The poor girl tries to climb but the score board is too unstable. The pounding stops. There is a moment of silence. Yasna looks around.

"Is it over?" she thinks before a tiny piece of ceiling falls on her head. Looking up, her terrified eye sees the entire black score board falling towards her.
