Chapter 3: A Tiring Tour and Rest
Lina's PoV
"Jesus H. Christ that really did take an hour!" Val marvelled as Zelgadiss said "it could be worse, and don't say the lords name in vain". "Is that really in vain?" I asked and he replied "yes". "well at least now that you've been confirmed as the trainees and have your SSDF ID's you wont need to go through crap to get inside the other levels of the building" Luneth informed "I also suggest you move your jet bikes from the hangar to the parking lot before curfew-" "wait there's a curfew!?" Val bursted out yelling in Luneth's face. "If it makes you feel better it's only for needing to be in your dorm, not lights out" Luneth said. "I'm slightly relived" Val said. "At any rate I think it would make the Chairwoman happy if we showed them around" I said. "your probably right" Luneth agreed "The first floor down is Pilot's training, but before we go down this is the hangar floor, were our fighter, and bomber craft are kept. On the roof is what's known as the sky runway because it's the highest named point in the city". "Now let's head down a level" I said leading them down a very large set of stairs.
9th floor: Flight school
"Welcome to flight schools every one" I said walking though the door leading to the endless and very confusing corridors. Of course Luneth being Luneth had to retort to that "been there, seen it, done it, wearing the jacket". I gave him a death glare as I heard Val try too hiding a laugh. "ANYWAY, most people don't know what they do on this level, so why don't you explain mister smart ass?" I directed at Luneth, and that time I heard both of the recruits laugh, "Very well then Miss Inverse, on this floor we have a wide selection of classes for those who want to fly fighter or bomber craft, if you choose to fly a bomber its pretty straight forward considering the SSDF only has B-52 Stratofortress; However, if you choose to be a fighter pilot, there are several choices of the craft you will command, for example: there's the F/A-18 Superhornet, F-22 "piece of junk" Raptor, F-35 Lightning, F-15 Eagle, F-16 "viper" Fighting Falcon" Luneth explained. "… Smart ass" was all I could say while the rooks looked in disbelief. "Now shall we take a tour of one of the facilities?" he said pushing the rooks along. "Aggghhhh" I said fallowing. "In these facilities we train the soldiers in basic hand to hand combat, gunmanship, and weapon usage. We train there reflexes, senses, and hearing to their full capabilities, other wise you wont be able to react properly in the cockpit of the jet its self. If you pass all of these fields then they test you in the simulator as if it was a real life invasion of the city along with your other class mates. That's all that you really need to know about this floor" Luneth said leading us out. "What an in depth description there Luneth" I said leading everyone back to the stairs. "Why thank you Lina" he responded. "And what's with you two you're abnormally quiet" I said looking back at Zelgadiss and Val. "It's just, just…" Val started "His knowledge on the subject" Zelgadiss Finished. "Oh don't be surprised" I said "They've been trying to make him an instructor for years" I finished leading us down to the next floor.
8th Floor: Soldiers and Tankers R Us
"Welcome to the floor of witch the SSDF has selected to train you on rooks, first things first since were here I'll show you your dorm, where the cafeteria is, and class before we see how things work in class" I said leading them down the main hall. "witch reminds me" I said reaching into my pack "I was given these to give to you two, holo maps of the building" I said giving them to them. "They're useful until and sometimes after you memorized a floor plan. It displays where you are with a green marker other places like classes and your dorm with red markers". "What's with the blue marker?" Val asked. "That marks the stairs on each level, because as you enter the bottom floors the stair case changes places for security reasons" Luneth spoke up. "Its wise too keep hold of our maps at all times?" Zelgadiss asked. "In your main uniform anyways" I said. "Good to know Val said as I lead them to their dorm. "Well this is it" I said opening their door. It wasn't much, a couple of beds two closets with all of the stuff they would need for their classes on their beds. In the closets were 7 main SSDF uniforms witch were a two piece (shirt and pants) navy blue body with a lighter blue Kevlar vest to make it look good, and red Epaulets with the trainee rank on the shoulders, 5 SSDF gym uniforms witch were just a white t-shirt and a pair of black shorts with the SSDF logo on them, 5 SSDF swimsuits witch considering were male were a pair of black swim trunks with the SSDF logo, and room for some civilian clothing. "I recommend you keep one of each uniform in your pack along with your binders" Luneth suggested. "Anyway time to show you your class" I said leading them back into the halls. "Well here we are, your future classroom" I said leading them in "and take a look the teacher's still here". "Oh hi Lina" he said. "Zelgadiss, Val, meet your teacher Gourry Gabriev, ironically my old teacher" I said. "Most say he's the best teacher in the building, but he also has field experience" Luneth said "its very nice too meet you Mister Gabriev" Zelgadiss and Val said in sync. "No need to be formal you two were not in class" Gourry said "you going anywhere Lina?" "No just taking the rooks on a tour o the facilities in this building why?" "Mind if I tag along?" Gourry asked. "Sure why not" I said heading out the hall towards the floors hospital. Upon arriving I opened the door too…. "HI MISS LINA!" a male voice said right in front of my face "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" I screamed "XELLOS!!!!!" I proceeded to punch him in the face; it was such a powerful punch he went flying out the window. The rooks' expression was as fallows OoO. "I've learned from my mistakes Miss Lina!" Xellos yelled activating a hidden Parachute under his coat. "Damn I was hoping he would just end up hitting the ground" I muttered under my breath. "Is she allowed to do that?!" Zelgadiss Exclaimed. "Depends on who it is, if its Xellos, the one she hit out the window then yes, she can hit me to, just not that hard" Gourry informed them. "Anyway, I suggest you mark the hospital on your map" I told them heading for the stairs without hesitation. "Okay?" I heard Val say as he ran after me with Gourry, and Zelgadiss.
7th Floor: Medical school, and the skilled Doctor team
"Stupid, idiotic, moronic, doctor" I was muttering to my self, never a good thing when I mutter to my self. "Be careful you two, she muttering to her self, it's never a good thing when she mutters too her self" Gourry informed the rooks. "How do you know Gourry?" I heard Val ask. Gourry's response was "Personal Experience". And I bet the rooks looked at each other worriedly. "here we are the only floor that has after noon classes" I said leading every one in, the only important part of this floor is to shoe you how the doctors work under high pressure, of the clock" I said leading them into a class where DIT's (doctors in training) were running around getting what they needed, but one group in particular stood out. Group ¾ comprised of Amilea Telsa Seyruun, Sylphiel Nels Rahad, Filia Ul Copt, and Gracia Naga Seyruun. "Interesting…. While Sylphiel, Naga, and Filia work on the majority of the surgery, Amilea multitasks by getting what they need at the time of witch they need it…. Efficient" I heard Luneth marvel "plus Amilea with the energy she has, in and out of class, is perfect for getting the materials they need in and on time….. genius" and just as he finished that thought the class ended, as the doctor checked how the students did, said students left him to his work. "Anyway were done here" I said taking everyone down the stairs "what do you think Gourry, skip the Office floors?" "I don't feel like mingling with the office workers so… yeah" he said as we went down floor after floor, of the building.
BF 1: The Garage, Just Keep on Tanking
"What's so special about the garage?" Val complained. "Well if my calculations are correct you'll be able to see the main armoured force return from combat" and as I said that the forces returned "told ya's" "let me guess" Gourry said "women's intuition?". "Good boy you know something" I congratulated Gourry "oh come on Lina, you only go on about it all the time". With that I hit him off the head. "JELLYFISH BRAIN!!!!!" I yelled. "Wow Lina's really violent" Zelgadiss said to Val "you're telling me" Val responded "hey look it's the actual tanks!" he said staring at them like a child. "I take it you like them Val?" Luneth said looking at him oddly. "I've just wanted to see one close up" Val responded staring. "You know, if you want a transfer, you could" Luneth said "Luneth!-" I was about to lecture him on it the he said "he has the right to know he has the choice!" Luneth said. "Nah" Val responded "I'm gonna stick with Zel". "Well let's hurry and get this over with because I'm tired" I said heading down a level. I also heard Val say "Just keep on tanken' boys" before coming down himself.
BF 2: The secret Weapons Facility
"Now, before I open this door, I need you two *points too the rooks* too promise not to tell any body from Holy Tech. Co." I said. "We promise" they said in sync. "Very well" I said leading them in. "what is this?" Zelgadiss asked. "This. This is the secret weapons facility" I said. "What are they making?" Val asked "that's classified information" Luneth said "of course, everything interesting is classified" Val complained "anyway all that's left is the repair bays, and those are pretty self explanatory so I suggest you go back to your dorm and get some rest the first day is always the hardest" Gourry said and headed up the stairs. "I agree with Gourry" Luneth said "see ya's" with that he went up stairs. "We should go too Val" Zelgadiss said heading up stairs quickly fallowed by Val. I looked back and headed up stairs leaving the door to close on its own.
Change Xellos
I quickly placed my foot in the way of the door to stop it from closing. Too think Lina Inverse couldn't sense my presence, I must have done something right, and I quietly slipped in and went invisible so no one would see me. As I roamed around I took pictures of every thing interesting especially the plans of the new Ray guns, and Wunder Waff. When I was done I made a quick pace towards home. Once I arrived I quickly went too my computer and uploaded the photos, then I attached them to an E-mail sent to the greater Czar Shabaranigdo.
To: My Greater Czar Shabaranigdo
From: The Mysterious Priest Xellos
The fallowing my lord, are the SSDF's newest weapon that they plan on trying against us, the ray gun, and the Wunder Waff. The ray gun is what the name implies. It fires a high power Ray made from an unknown substance. It fires 30 shots before the battery needs to bee changed, plus it's the size of a mere hand gun. The Wunder Waff, Is gun that fires lightning bolts that travels to multiple targets. It only fires 3 shots but it clears out a bunch of enemies (aka us) and it is rifle sized so it takes the spot of primary weapon. I see one problem with this my greater Zarr. The two can be used together; I will await further orders on the matter.
Shabaranigdo My Greater Czar.
I am worried about this predicament.
After sending the message I went to my sent e-mails and deleted them all. After I was done I took a quick shower and went to bed.
F: Oh come on Devon it wasn't that bad
D: Uhhh hello i was there!
V: I'm a blob....
F: And your point?

D: Now that was crule....
