Chapter 2:"Troia Academy"
Reia Walked inside of her home, setting what was left of her groceries onto the table. The lights were off and it was hard to see. She flicked the light switch on and walked into the living room. She picked up the remote and turned the TV on. She leanded back onto the sofa and started surfing through the channels. There wasn't much on this early in the morning.
After cycling through the loop of channels 2 or 3 times, Reia just turned the TV off. She thought about the awfully cute guy who had just saved her, as though he cared for her. She didn't know who this was, or why he did what he did. With thoughts of Zife, she eventually drifted off to sleep.
Zife opened the door of his house, setting his sword into it's corner in the room. He sat down onto a chair in the kitchen and looked out the window. The sun was rising up over the hills. From a position as high as Pandora, the sunrise was so beutiful. He watched as the orb of light came out of it's hiding, causing a massive and wonderful cascade of colors. Zife's eyes were forced to a swuint it was so miraculous. Zife's mind was on Reia at the moment though, and the sunrise seemed as nothing to him.
("Why did I save her?")
("It wasn't any of my buisiness")
("At least she's okay...")
("....why do I care?")
Zife looked at his watch.
("4:30...")
Zife's high-school was fairly far from where he lived. Zife had no parents to make him go, but he still went. Another reason was that if he wasn't in school, the police would pick him up, and there would be nobody to bail him out. Zife got up, walking away from the window which was reflecting the awsome beutey of the sunrise. Zife walked into the more darker corridor of his house, his room. He picked up the his books and slid them into his backpack. He swung the backpack across his shoulder and locked the door as he went outside.
As Zife walked down the streets leading to his school, he looked to the left as the scenery was even more spectacular. The windows of the buildings reflected the sunrise, creating a massive display of light. Zife just kept walking, never looking at the beutiful display. There was a large glass dome surrounding Pandora. Ever since "The incident", there was no safe way to get out of Pandora. So now it was a colony seperate form the world, floating high above the rest of the planet, being held to the ground only by the golden chains which were hooked into the planet itself.
Zife continued to walk down the street, until he saw his academy. It was not to be refered to as a "high-school", although Zife did not know why nor care. The academy was several floors high, about 20. Zife's homeroom was on floor 12, which was where he was headed. This was Zife's first day at this academy. Of course, he had to make trips there to get his books and schedule, although this would be his first real day there.
Zife walked inside, coming to the front desk.There were exotic plants, ad a few chairs. The walls were made of glass, but not able to see-through. This was truly an amazing "High-School" The secretary smiled at Zife and welcomed him.
"Hello, welcome to Troia Academy. May I help you?" She said.
"I am a student here. I'd like to get clearance if that's okay." Zife said.
The secretary asked for his schedule, which was on an I.D. card that the academy had give Zife. He was allowed clearance and directed to the elevator. He pressed the "12" as the elevator began to rise. It was a see-through elevator, and Zife could see other students eating breakfast, talking, and just exploring the massive "Academy" Zife looked at the Academy's logo, which was on the control panel of the elevator, and on every door in the school. "Troia Academy" it read. It had a lion and an eagle, inside of a diamond shape.
The elevator dinged as it reached the 12th floor. Zife walked out of the elevator, as it returned to the first floor. Zife walked down the carpeted hallway, coming to the homeroom. He saw a few other students there, waiting for school to start. Zife sat down in an empty seat.
A student walked up to Zife.
"Hey, you new here?" The student asked.
Zife was hesitant, but he stood up, replying "Yes"
"Really? Well, it seems we got the same classes together." The student replied.
"Seems so..." Zife said in a dead tone.
"Didn't catch your name"
"Zife."
"Heh, stange name. You can call me Pierce."
Pierce sat down next to Zife.
"So you ready to meet some girls here eh?" Pierce asked.
Zife just shrugged.
"Heh heh, they're crazy about me" Pierce said.
Zife thought that obvious. Pierce looked like a real ladies' man, obviously he was cute. He had crystal-blue eyes, and blonde hair. Some of it was spiked down over Pierces' left eye, the rest just "there" He wore a blue jacket which had Troia's logo on the back, and his name in gold letters in the front. He wore a green shirt underneath and blue-jeans. Zife looked down at himself. He wore a blue shirt and a black jacket not unlike Pierce's. The school gave these jacketrs to all of the males who enrolled. Kind of like a "cool uniform", although Zife didn't have his name in gold letters in the front, just the symbol on the back.
Zife's hair was dark brown, with blonde streaks. It was very unusual, because this wasn't the work of a hairstylist. These blonde streaks came naturally to Zife's hair. His eyes were brown as well. His hair was spiked upwards, and then combed back lightly. It was his own little style, which nobody else seemed to be able to imitate.
Reia walked inside of the homeroom. She had on a skirt and blouse with the Troia symbol on them. Zife looked at her, surprised to see her. Pierce stood up, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"This is my girlfriend Reia." Pierce said to Zife.
"R...Reia? You're here too?" Zife asked.
"I'm as surprised as you are. Didn't expect to see you here." Reia said with a smile.
"Yo, can somebody tell me what's goin on?" Pierce asked.
Reia turned around and told Pierce the story of how Zife saved her the other night.
Pierce shook Zife's hand.
"Thanks alot man, I owe you." Pierce said.
"No thanks nececary, it wasn't really any of my business anyway." Zife said.
Just then, the bell rang and more students rushed into the homeroom, not wanting to be late on their first day.
A fairly old man in glasses appeared in the center of the small crowd of students. He wore a robe-like jacket which had the symbol sewed onto the upper left chest area.
"Hello new Troians. You are welcomed to your first day at Troia Academy. I am hoping that you find this Academy the best in the district. I am your homeroom leader. Ask me anything if you are lost or need help. Your first class will be Scientific Research, although you should all know where to go.
"(Scientific research? Why don't they just say Science?") Zife thought.
He dismissed the students as they all walked onto their first class. Zife didn't know where he was going, so he just followed Pierce and Reia, thinking that they would know where to go. Zife continued to follow them down the halls, until they turned the corner, coming into the Research room, where the rest of the students were. Zife sat down in the backmost desk, setting his things down beside it. He looked around the room. There were alot of tanks containing strange creatures, and the lights were off, with neon lights of green and orange coming from the walls. It was a pretty strange room.
The Professor came in the room, turning the lightswitch on, causing the neon lights to fade.
"Hello class, my name is Prof.Beoulve. I will be your Scientific Research teacher for the rest of the year."
The Professor started to speak of how he was a master of "Monster research." He spoke of how on the planet below Pandora, there were strange creatures, some friendly, some not. After many boring lectures, the students were dimissed to their next class.
Pierce came up to Zife.
"I don't think that this will be my favorite class." Pierce said, chuckling.
Zife just nodded in response.
As they came to the homeroom, a Dark figure appeared. It was a "Takeru Soldier"
"What the hell?" Zife exclaimed.
"You...all will follow the will of Takeru...come with me..."
"It's a Takeru Soldier. They recruit new members of Takeru's army."
"Takeru?" Zife asked.
"Takeru is the lord of Pandora. He is a great warrior with excellent magical skills, and he rules this nation with his mighty hand." Pierce replied.
"So, this guy is looking for new recruites?" Zife asked.
"It's not that simple, you see, memebers of Takeru's army have a dark infusion to make them 10 times as strong as they were originaally, but they must be dead for this infusion to take place." Pierce replied.
"So...this guy has come to kill?..." Zife asked.
"Essentially yes." Pierce replied.
"Well then come on!!!" Zife said, rushing up to the soldier."
"Zife wait!!" Pierce said, running after him.
"Hey! None of us want to join your stupid army, so you can just look elsewhere!" Zife shouted.
"Oh...myabe YOU should join. You'll make an excellent soldier."
"You gotta kill me first right? Then come on!!" Zife replied.
The soldier rushed toward Zife, drawing his sword. Zife, who had no weapon with him,slammed himself into the soldier, causing him them both to fall to the ground. The soldier swung his weapon at Zife, who had already jumped back. Zife clenched his fists, and threw three jabs to the right of the soldier's face. The soldier, flinched, swinging his weapon, and failing once again.
"You're way too slow to fight me!" Zife shouted.
"You want a piece of me?? Take this!!!" The soldier shot a massive wave of energy at Zife. Zife, who couldn't jump out of the way, readied himself to block the attack. Just then, Pierce jumped in the way, slamming his arm against the wave, causing it to return to it's caster. During the blast, Zife snatched the soldier's sword, slashing three times, causing it to disapear.
Zife wiped the sweat from his brow, turning to Pierce.
"Thanks." Zife said.
"Don't mention it. Let's get to our next class." Pierce said as he ran off.
("Why did they attack THIS Academy?...")
Zife ran after Pierce.
Reia Walked inside of her home, setting what was left of her groceries onto the table. The lights were off and it was hard to see. She flicked the light switch on and walked into the living room.
