A/N: Ten! Ten! Ten! Hello there! This is tendaysromeo and welcome to the 14th chapter of DreamTheater Intermix: The World Within! Nothing much to say, so let's start this chapter!

10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Countdown is over, so let's get this chapter on the go!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story aside from some OCs, the plot and the settings.

The story opens with a single blue & white-colored bus travelling across a long road in the middle of nowhere, and we're not talking about the Middle of Nowhere in Kansas, the bus is currently travelling across the middle of nowhere with no mountains, trees or any types of civilizations in sight.

Inside the bus is currently occupied by seven females and a creepy-looking male bus driver.

While the Bus Driver is busy steering the semi-public vehicle towards their destination while smoking a rather large cigar in his mouth, on one seat on the right side of the vehicle, a girl named Ushio Makunouchi had her arms crossed and right behind her is another girl named Coco Kiryu whom is swaying her head from left to right with a big smile on her face, and occupying the entire seats from the back are five girls named Azusa Nakano, Mio Akiyama, Ritsu Tainaka, Tsumugi Kotobuki and Yui Hirasawa whom are having a conversation about music.

The story then focused on Ushio.

With a personality that doesn't conform well with authorities and the habit of wearing T-shirts instead of the standard shirt and tie, Ushio is speculated to be a juvenile delinquent although she firmly denies being one.

"Shit! I should have gone along with everyone." Ushio thought in annoyance.

It's been a month since her entire school had been shut down for unspecified reasons and alongside her friends were invited to attend the City Saints Academy. And while most of her fellow students had left to attend the aforementioned academy, she stayed behind for a bit due to family circumstances and while she doesn't mind going alone however the entire trip made her feel uneasy.

And it's mostly because of the person driving the bus.

"Just what the hell is with that bus driver?" Ushio questioned in her thoughts, "His posture is already weird enough but why the hell does he had glowing red eyes and a creepy smile?" she complained, "Are we really going to right place?" she asked before slightly turning her head to eye the girls at the back, "The girls seems to be talking normally but I can tell that they're also nervous because of the driver." she stated, "The girl behind me on the other hand..." she uttered.

"Da-ra-rum~ Da-ra-rum~ Motherfuckah~" Coco singed.

"What the hell is this girl singing about?!" Ushio exclaimed in disbelief, "And what's up with those lyrics?" she mentioned, "Isn't she bothered by that bus driver's appearance?" she questioned, "Is she ignoring him or she really doesn't care?" she guessed, "And what's up with those horns and tail of hers?" she furthered, "Is she some sort of cosplayer?" she assumed.

And despite sitting far away from the creepy bus driver, it didn't stop the man from starting a conversation, "So..." he uttered which made everyone, sans Coco, to flinch in response, "... you kids are to attend the City Saints Academy?" he pointed out with a grin.

None of them wants to answer but not wanting to be rude, Azusa decided to utter a reply, "Y-Yes, sir." the pigtailed raven-haired girl confirmed.

The bus driver's grin grew bigger, "Hehehe..." he chuckled, "Then you kids had best prepare yourselves now..." he advised, "Hehehe..." he chuckled again before turning his head slightly at them, "City Saints Academy is filled to brim with bizarre and unique people, you'll find a hard time fitting in if your not careful." he advised rather ominously.

"WHERE'S THE BACKDOOR OF THIS BUS?!" Ritsu demanded.

"LET ME OFF! LET ME OFF!" Mio shouted in panic.

"WE'RE GOING TO DIE! WE'RE GONNA FUCKING DIE!" Yui cried in panic.

"Are we gonna be okay?" Ushio thought nervously.

The bus ride continues on into two grueling hours and at the same time two hours of horror due to the bus driver creeping everyone out, the vehicle then finally arrives in front of the box-shaped building where the City Saints Academy is located from inside.

The bus opens the girls quickly got off with Mio tripping on the process while the bus driver cackled rather mischievously, "Good-luck, children." he encouraged, "You're going to need it." he added.

The door then closes and the bus drives off, leaving the group confused, terrified and bewildered.

"I really hope that we don't get to see that damn driver again." Ushio uttered.

"You and me both." Ritsu said in agreement.

"That driver gives me the creeps." Azusa commented.

"I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight." Mio admitted.

"Ara~" Tsumugi uttered, "Is this the City Saints Academy?" she pointed out.

The girls then turns around and their eyes widen in shock and disbelief.

To describe the building in front of them as normal would be an understatement. The building, despite it's large size, is utterly plain-looking with it's gray-colored walls with no windows in sight and the only way in is a red-colored metallic double door.

In Coco and Yui's mind, the building can be described as an upside down cardboard box with a door.

Ristu raised an eyebrow, "This is the City Saints Academy?" she questioned in disbelief, "This looks nothing like a school!" she exclaimed.

"Shit!" Ushio cursed, "Looks like we've been scammed!" she declared.

"Not really." a voice replied, "But I can't blame you for thinking that." the voice admitted.

The girls then turns around to see Sunset Shimmer walking towards their direction and they can only assumed that she came out from the red-colored metallic double door.

"Who are you?" Ushio questioned with narrowed eyes.

"Nice to meet you all." Sunset greeted, "My name is Sunset Shimmer." she introduced herself, "And I'm the student representative tasked to show you around the academy." she explained.

"Sunset Shimmer?" Coco uttered with a smile, "That's a nice name." she complimented, "Are you some sort of livestreamer?" she asked.

"I livestreamed games and I'm a musician as well." Sunset replied.

"Wait a minute!" Ritsu interrupted, "You're the student representative?" she mentioned, "Are you saying that this place is actually the City Saints Academy?" she questioned with a finger pointed at the factory-like building.

"That's just the surface appearance of the academy." Sunset answered, "The real academy is actually inside this building." she pointed out.

"Seriously?" Ushio questioned, "You'd expect us to believe that shit?!" she exclaimed.

Sunset rubs the back of her head, "This is the hardest part of being a guide." she uttered to herself, "It's kinda hard to explain but I think it's better that you see it yourself." she stated, "But first..." she uttered when all of a sudden a holographic entrance arch appears before everyone, much to their surprise.

"W-W-What is that?!" Mio squeaked in fear.

"This is a specialized entrance to our school." Sunset answered, "This special entrance serves as a registration booth for our school and it will decide if a person deserves to be a student in this school or not." she explained.

"Wow! That's cool!" Yui cheered in awe.

"And convenient." Azusa said in agreement.

"Hold up!" Ritsu interrupted, "How is that possible?" she questioned, "How can something made of hologram create something solid like an identification card?!" she added.

"I would say it's a mixed of science and magic but I rather let you all see it for yourself rather than explaining it." Sunset stated with a smile.

"You're not enjoying your current role right now, aren't you?" Asuza assumed.

"Only the first part." Sunset replied.

Ushio sighed, "How do we register then?" she asked.

"Just stand in the middle of the entrance arch and present your letter of invitation." Sunset instructed, "So, who's up first?" she asked.

Coco raised her hand up, "I'll go first!" she volunteered with a rather excited expression.

"Just what's up with this girl?" Ushio thought in disbelief.

Coco then steps inside the entrance arch and presented his letter of invitation and suddenly, a large rectangular-shaped holographic screen appeared above the arch with some sort of schematics.

"Scanning... scanning..." a feminine robotic voice spoke from the screen, "Coco Kiryu, 3,500-years old, is now officially registered as a student for City Saints Academy." the voice declared, much to everyone's awe but one fact caught everyone in shock.

"Huh? Neat." Coco commented.

"Wait a minute there!" Ritsu exploded, "Did I hear that right?" she asked, "She's 3,500-years old!" she mentioned before turning to Sunset, "Hey! I think that holographic machine is busted or something!" she assumed but only to find Sunset with a bewildered expression, "Why do you look so shock?!" she questioned.

Sunset shook her head, "Sorry about that." she apologized, "I was just expecting to guide a group of ordinary people but I wasn't expecting someone like her." she admitted, "Then again..." she uttered, "... there is a possibility that the Identification Scanner is suffering a malfunction." she admitted.

"Oh, I believe that wasn't a malfunction..." Coco said while turning to them, "... that's really my age." she admitted, "I'm 3,500 years old." she confirmed.

Everyone looks at her in utter shock, "Just what the heck are you?" Ushio asked.

Coco smiled, "I'm a dragon." she answered.

After that revelation, no one dared to ask and just let it sink in their minds, Coco steps out of the holographic arch and everyone then takes turn in registering. Then all of a sudden, a holographic camera appears before everyone which then proceeds to take a shot of them one by one, temporarily blinding them a bit.

"Yeow!" Ritsu yelped, "What was that for?!" he demanded.

"It's just taking your photos for your IDs." Sunset answered, "The school strictly advised that students must carry their IDs at all times." she shared, "Otherwise..." she uttered, "... you'll be in a lot of trouble." she stated.

"What will happen if you forgot your ID?" Asuza asked.

"For the first offense, if you got caught without your ID five times, you'll get a disciplinary action." Sunset replied, "For the second offense, if you got caught without your ID ten times, you'll get suspended for a month and will be kicked out of school for the time being." she furthered, "And for the third offense, if you got caught without your ID in a number beyond ten, you'll get expelled, kick out of school, get your memories erased and will be banned from attending the City Saints Academy for life." she concluded.

"Isn't the punishment for the third offense too much?!" Mio questioned in disbelief.

Sunset sighed, "I admit that the punishment is pretty much overkill." she admitted, "But that's just the way it is here." she said.

A minute later, the entrance arch disappeared and is then replaced by a bin-shaped hologram with some sort of slot on the upper part, and coming out from the slot are rectangular-shaped identification cards with their pictures on it.

"Now that you guys are officially registered as students and you got your IDs." Sunset mentioned, "I think it's about time that we enter this building and introduce you to our school." she declared before proceeding to open the double door where everyone are greeted by the sight of a bright light, much to everyone's surprise and confusion.

"Aak!" Ritsu squawked, "So bright!" she complained.

"It's so pretty that I can stare at it all day." Yui commented with wide curious eyes.

"Yui-senpai! Please cover your eyes or you'll go blind!" Azusa cried out.

"Let's go." Sunset beckoned.

Everyone then proceeds to walk through the door while shielding their eyes from the light and when the blinding lights subsided, they opened their eyes and is greeted by the sight of something unbelievable.

Right in front of them is large and vast city that looks like a mixed between Akihabara, New York and London with numerous colorful buildings, futuristic vehicles going around the road with a few of them flying across the sky and speaking of the sky, it's actually artificial which is made of glass roofs that you often see in domes and the blue sky is nothing but a holographic screen however it's so realistic that it's hard to notice.

And if that wasn't shocking enough, the people going around the city made their eyes wide in disbelief. Despite the numerous normal looking humans in sight, the gang noticed some individuals with unique features such as having cat ears, dog tails, robotic features, colorful skin tones and pointy ears, and they even spotted anthropomorphic animals and objects with human bodies.

Heck... they even saw figures twice their size and even spotted different individual with weirdly shaped bodies and proportions.

"Welcome to City Saints Academy!" Sunset introduced.

The girls, sans Coco, stood there in utter shock and awe.

"Son of a bitch..." Ushio uttered.
