Chapter 522.
"Back to the Battlecruiser."
(Royal Woods Middle School.)
Right now we see Lincoln and Jordan are done looking to the scoreboard and are feeling happy, and the same goes for Ryan, Hope and Gretchen.
"Dang we aced it good and now we can make the rest of our families proud that we passed and made the grade" replied Lincoln.
"Now all we need to worry about is the finals on May and that one is gonna be tough, almost everything we've learned so far and we have to go through some of it all over again" said Jordan.
"But we'll manage" replied Ryan. "We always do, I mean we can't make a mistake when the finals hits, but we need to be focused and try not to lose our cool, or it ain't gonna end well for all of us."
"No kidding" said Gretchen. "But for now, we should focus on one thing to come and that would be the Royal Woods Middle School Gamers Club Gaming contest on April 17, and I am stoked for that one."
"Not wrong" said Hope. Then she sees someone come to them. "Oh, hi Clyde."
Clyde goes towards Lincoln along with Tabby and Liam following. "Lincoln, we came here to tell you that Mr. Budden wants to ask if you would join us in the Glee Club."
Lincoln is surprised and so are the others and they look towards Liam and Tabby. "He's not wrong. That guy wants you in the club because of that good singing voice of yours" replied Liam.
Tabby chuckles. "Looks like with everything that's been happening, you've become top notch to be noticed and want to be talked to and invited into, congrats Linc."
Lincoln is surprised, he then looks to Jordan who smiles. "It's your choice Lincoln, not mine."
Lincoln thinks about this and he looks towards Clyde, Liam and Tabby. "Well, as much fun as it would be, I need some time to think about this guys. Let me have a moment or week, but when is this big event gonna begin?"
"Before the Royal Woods spring music festival, which means it's all gonna take place on April 9" replied Clyde. "And we'll make sure Mr. Budden gets the message, and right now he's obsessed with the Seven-eleven smoothies."
Liam sighs. "The guy can't stop slurping too fast, and getting a ton of brain freeze. He needs to chill and I don't mean the smoothie kind of chill."
They watch as Clyde, Liam and Tabby walk away, and then they too walk down another hallway. Jordan looks to Lincoln. "So, you gonna tell Luna about this?"
Lincoln nods. "I mean, I know the Glee club is all about singing and I know Luna would be proud of me for joining another musical club, but I need to know if this is the right choice for me. I mean, I'm part of the music club and the gamers club and having another club could be…. Hard for the rest of the school year."
They can tell that this is getting too much into Lincoln. "Then take some time and when the time is right, then tell them what you think" said Gretchen. "We're sure they'll understand."
"But asking Luna does sound like a good idea, she seems to know more about the ways of the nervous you than anyone" said Hope. "Though, Jordan knows that side of you too."
"But, it was Luna who knew him way before me, so go and talk to Luna and then you can figure out what to do next" replied Jordan. "She'll understand and I know she'll help you with her words of motivation and confidence."
"Yeah, that is true" replied Lincoln. "Talking to Luna will-"
"Lincoln!" They see Zach headed towards them. "Lincoln, Jordan. Did you ask the guys at that big ship if we can go there and know more about the incoming UFO flyby?"
"We did and they said that we can come aboard and bring some friends, but only if they behave and don't cause any trouble" said Jordan.
"They also said that someone from the other world is coming to make sure that what we're looking for is true" said Lincoln. "Chances it's someone from FutureTech, and possibly knows more about the Gladius than we do."
"Awesome!" said Zach, then he realizes something. "What about my parents? Are they welcome too?"
"I guess they're fine to tag along, just as long as there won't be any trouble" said Jordan.
"No problem guys, my mom and dad only wanna know about the UFO flyby. That's what matters" said Zach. "Well, see guys in class." Zach heads off to his locker, but then he races past them to check on his score from the test last week.
Lincoln and the others continue onward to where they were gonna go, but then he gets a text from Ronnie Anne. "Guys, Ronnie Anne just sent a text." They go over to see what it says.
Ronnie Anne: Guys! We got an issue here in Great Lakes City, mostly to my school! My dad and my teacher, Ms. Galiano, they're dating!
They're surprised from this, then Hope asks. "How the heck is this even an issue?" This is something they're gonna have to deal with next time, or tomorrow if they have time.
(Timeskip, after classes.)
Classes are done for the day and now we head for the Gladius Battlecruiser. The dropship arrives to the large Dominion Battlecruiser, named Gladius and the ship lands and then opens to reveal Lincoln, and Jordan and the others who have come:
Ryan, Gretchen, Hope, Simon, Stella, Liam, Tabby, Rusty, Polly, Giggles, Mollie, Sadie, Cookie, Joy, Kat, Lance, Trent, Artie, Chad, Hassan, Richie, Flat Tire, Jenny, Christina, Paige, Renee, Emma and Jill. Of course, Zach is there with his parents. Clyde and Chloe couldn't come, they had other plans.
The group looks around and are impressed by everything still. "Yup, even though we have been in here before, the place always feels like something new and it still looks new and awesome" said Rusty.
"Always makes me feel like I'm in an actual Starcraft Video Game" said Simon. He passes by a Marine trooper in his power suit. "Still so cool."
"This place…" Ryan looks around. "It's so awesome, wicked cool and super amazing being here. I mean, that is one big mech." they see the Thor mech walk by them and then go to the mecha bay to get some modifications.
They then see some of the protoss staff walking by them, which are High Templar. "Well, at least we know that there are aliens who are on our earth, and not being invaders and such" replied Zach.
Then a Dark Templar is next to them out of nowhere. They get startled by his presence. "The dark Templar and all other protoss are not invaders, but the Tal'Darim are not an easy race to toil with." The protoss warrior then disappears into the shadows.
Jordan sighs. "Guys, tone it down with the conversation. Let's recall why we're here."
"She's not wrong." They all spot FutureTech Representative Jack Cyber has arrived. "So, what is it you seek from the Gladius?"
They all walk towards the artificial intelligent man, Zach seems nervous and so do his parents, then Lincoln asks. "Sir, we need some information about the incoming UFO flyby coming to Royal Woods, Michigan."
The whole place stops what they're doing and looks to the group confused. Jack Cyber sighs. "Come with me." They follow him and see the large screen that has been setup. "We did the calculations and what you guys are going to see, is not a UFO."
He then enhances the footage. "This was taken from one of our GDI outposts on the moon, and what we see is no Unidentified Flying Object and certainly no Grey's or any alien species detected."
They all see the footage and what they see, surprises them. "Wait, that's not a UFO. That's a comet."
"Exactly." Jack Cyber zooms in on it. "This comet was sighted 43 years ago and is inbound for the flyby past the northern hemisphere of the United States, and Michigan is one of them."
"Dang, so all this time it's just a comet?" asked Lance. "Does it have a name?"
"Ulsan Fender Orson" replied Jack Cyber. "Apparently someone in Michigan named it and thus it stuck and now it's coming back. Sorry to say, this is not what some of you have expected" said Jack Cyber.
They all look to Zach and his parents. Zach smiles. "No need guys, we don't care whether it was a UFO sighting, flyby or landing. What matters is that we know the truth and now we don't need to panic or something."
Zach's mother nods. "But the arrival of this comet, is something we do look forward to."
Zach's father asks. "What are the compounds of this comet?"
Jack Cyber then explains to them what they know about the comet and they begin to talk about getting ready for this thing to flyby so the family can set up camp to see it go by Royal Woods, this is something the Gurdle family can enjoy, even if it's not about aliens.
Lincoln and the others smile seeing this. "Glad this has been sorted out." Then Lincoln looks to the rest of the gang. "Guys, we got something from Ronnie Anne back at Great Lakes City."
Hearing that did not make them comforted to know. "What's going on over there?" asked Polly.
They then tell them, about Ronnie Anne's issue with her dad dating her school teacher.
To be continued…
