30 MINUTES EARLIER

Takara awoke inside a dimly lit classroom. Slowly, she got up out of the metal chair. Her raven black hair was covering her eyes a little. It didn't really bother that much but she could always move it asides. Then she just moved it out of the way as it just started to annoy her suddenly. She looked around at her surroundings. It was supposed to be a normal school classroom. probably. Wooden desk's were arranged in neat rows of 5 across and down with her own being in the middle. Not the exact middle though - only a SHSL Perfectionist would be able to do that.

On the windows were something that looked out of place. She remembered a couple of classrooms from play's she had seen in the past for a flickering second. They were normally only covered by curtains or just bare to let people look outside. Or maybe something else. Those kinds of play's weren't Takara's favourites. On this set of windows was a gigantic metallic block with a black set of bars on top. No holes of sunlight or fresh air were noticeable to her eyes so she lost focus in them. Maybe they meant something but someone else would have to figure that out if they were here.

Unless she was alone then she'd have to do something about her situation. Hopefully... Scanning the classroom she saw a bright orange and green sticky note. Out of reflex, she covered her eyes as the colours were close to a seemingly blinding light in the pitch black. Stumbling forward, she attempted to grasp the note. It ended up with her on the floor with a knocked over desk next to her.

Standing up, she picked up the desk and stood it back up right in what seemed where it needed to go. Then she walked towards the note and picked it up. The writing on it was black and white with the colours randomly placed. The text was in so many different styles adding to the unneeded complexity. It looked like a 4 year old had done it and a person had made it into something horrific. Takara would have preferred a dark grey one or one with dim colours if she was honest.

It took her at least 5 minutes or less to grasp the message on it. Any more colours or styles of text and she would of lost her mind. Eventually she managed to read something along the lines of:

'REPORT TO THE GYM BY 8:10 OR PUNISHMENT WILL BE FORCED UPON YOU.'

Placing the note down with a small sigh of relief, Takara noticed a door with a large sign tacked on with what could be scotch tape. A arrow pointing towards a door nob was drawn on in black. After walking to the doors she opened the door in seconds. She then found herself in a corridor painted greyish black. Two pastel coloured doors were on the wall she was facing and another pastel door was next to hers. The floor was painted a darker shade from the walls as well as the ceiling above.

Turning her head to the right, she saw a large window depicting a sunset along with several non moving bat's. After running up and looking more closely, the window actually had a painting behind it. Paint covered small bit's of the glass due to the painting being pressed very close to the glass. Then she got back onto the small task of finding the Gym. It was probably a good idea to check the doors in case something or someone was in there. Or even the exit.

Taking a random door, she pushed it open to find a weirdly strange sight. The room was similar to the one she had awoken in - desks, chairs, metallic block... Wait was that a robot? A human-like robot was standing behind a desk resembling the ones in the place she woke up though this one was like two of them stuck together. This room however had more occupants. Two boys and one girl were sitting in desks seemingly fast asleep. A pool of blood was carelessly splattered on one of the desks in such a way that it chilled Takara's bones. That had made her scared for one of endless times.

After a few moments the robot turned to face her with bright yellow eyes that gleamed almost into her soul. Quick glimpses in her past before disappearing with a loud bang - waking up everyone else. The girl's empty cyan eye's reminded of her own sorrowful blue eyes. (Even though once or twice her parents have commented on their friendliness. She had no idea what they meant.) Without meaning to she managed get somehow stuck in them. That was probably due to the fact that she barely ever saw any other people. After all, she worked better alone and in the dark silence.

"Excuse me but why are you staring at me?" The girl bluntly stated with a hint of coldness in her voice.

"S-sorry..." Looking at her hands that twisted each other together. Maybe this was what everyone her age acted like? Best not to make assumptions but the word 'what if' did exist.

"Well don't do that again." Her head turned away from Takara. "My name's something you'll have to learn yourself."

Her hands fiddled clumsily so she turned to the other people. A boy with dark brown bangs and bright green eyes was looking at Takara.

"Any idea what happened?" He asked.

"Um... A robot was... here a-and exploded." After completing her 'sentence' she took a few deep breaths.

"Are you okay?" His hand reached out and touched her shoulder. His touch seemed cold - to cold.

She jerked back out of reflex. "C-can you n-not... do t-that?"

"Ok then... What's your name?"

"M-my names... T-takara I t-think..." After finishing, she took more deep breaths. It would be nice to just retreat into a corner now-

"Well then Takara, my name's Owen Douglass." Owen reached his hand out and gently shook it with Takara's. The act seemed a little odd to Takara but she recognised it - was it a handshake? Or maybe she was being a little dumb minded. Or maybe her brain was processing things slowly so that she seemed to be shocked by normal things. Or maybe she was over thinking once again.

"Are you introducing yourselves? Best to leave that when we find somewhere with other people. We have a time limit you know." The girl walked over to the pair and put her hands on her hips. "I don't care if you guys don't wish to face consequences, but I'll leave you to die if I have to."

She then walked over to the door and opened it with a few tugs. It banged against the wall before being stopped by her hand.

Then she walked through, leaving their vision. A tap on her shoulder showed her to the final occupant of the room. Black shaggy hair was placed on his had along with a pair of brown eyes that could of glinted in sunlight.

"Mind if I follow you guys?" He asked.

"Sure." Owen took both Takara's and the other person's hand to lead them out the door. Outside, the girl was scanning the room with her eyes. When they landed on the small group she sighed.

"Let's get going. No clocks mean that we could be running severely late - or be really early." While talking she sprinted over to a large grey door at one end of the corridor. After numerous attempts of trying to open the door, the girl sank down onto the ground in exhaustion for a few seconds. Then she was back on her feet, but this time when she pulled on the knob it opened.

Behind that door was yet another classroom identical to the others - well almost. Inside it had 7 occupants all doing something. A girl with long black hair and a pink bow was sitting at the teachers desk reading a book placed their. When her head tilted up, she saw the group and Takara thought she saw fear in her eyes for a second or so.

"Guys? Company." The new girl said to the rest of the people inside. Another girl tilted her head at their appearance, "Can we trust you?". This girl had light brown hair (some of it was in a small ponytail tied with a light pink ribbon) and lovely green eyes

"Well if you don't trust me then sure let's trust them, Aika." A short girl (There were a lot of girls - Takara noted) with black hair and brown eyes that stared at Aika. She was sitting backwards on a chair with her legs folded in a way that must hurt.

"Just trust me. My name's Hikari." Hikari had finally revealed her name and was now having what looked like a silent staring contest with the short girl.

"Well should we introduce ourselves then?" Asked a girl with long scarlet coloured hair and bright yellow eyes. "I'm Ib-"

Hikari slammed her hand on the table Ib was sitting at. "How about we all move along? It's obviously getting late and I'll leave you guys to face the punishment if we don't move along." She then walked out the door once again - attempting to close it as well. Ib jumped up out of her seat and onto the table.

"Let's go! Montage!"

Takara had no idea why she said montage - montage's only appeared in fiction! This was real life. Ib then jumped down for the table and sprinted for the door, closely followed by everyone else. When Takara counted, their was about 11 of them in total.

Hikari had already disappeared from the room, heading towards a large grey door near one of the ends of the corridor. A few tugs and it opened, revealing a pastel corridor with a bunch of other doors. A pair of blue and pink doors stood at one end with a sign reading "GYM" in bold letters.

"Let's go."

It took a while for them to open the pair of doors. Eventually they opened revealing... A robotic bat was flying a few metres above the wooden ground of the "Gym".

"Oh it's the rest of you all. How many of you are their? 1, 0, 3, 7, 5, 19, 11, 34 - I don't actually care. Get in or I'll kill you." It's voice was a little squeaky and robotic, but it's message got along fine. Takara noticed a girl with brown hair and blueish green eyes walking towards her. Then a voice came crashing into her ears:

"Welcome!"

PROLOGUE PART 3 COMPLETE

A thousand sorry's for not getting this finished sooner. I wanted it to be longer but this will have to do.
