Chapter 3: Welcome Home Pilots
"we did it hahaha, we passed the test" Vincent shouted out in happiness as he hug his brother out of nowhere and gave him a death hug.
The other seem to agree whit him as they put there fist in the air, jump in the air, or hug one another for joy.
"we past the test with out having one of us failing, this is awesome" Charlotte said whit a smile on her face as she was fill whit joy knowing that she had pass the exams.
"we did it hahaha" Elliot said whit laughter as he raise both his hands up in the air to show how happy he was.
"my god that let out a relief for me" Leo said whit a relief voice as he had his hand placed over his beating heart that was beating nervously a few moments ago.
"I am so glad that that is over whit, now I can relax whit out having to do any more studying for the exams" Oz said whit a smile on his face while hugging each one of his friends for doing good on the test and being able to pass the exam whit each other and not having to have one of them failing which would suck.
"I am just glad that we got over with this, I didn't enjoy having to go home and study all night long just so that I can pass the exams, boy am I relief" Break said while stretching his back,
"now I am looking forward to actually using an Nightmare of mine, I can wait" Echo said whit a smile as she hug back Charlotte and Oz from passing the exams whit top scores and ranking.
"so what do we do now that we had finished the exams" Gilbert ask as his friends and him had calm down a bit from excitement of them passing that he ask them what they were going to do once they had seeing that they had pass the exam.
But before anybody could answer his question on what to do next, Edward spoke over the microphone on what they were going to do next for the ones that had pass the exams.
"alright then settle down you guys settle down. Now that you guys know if you pass or fail, first I want to tell that ones that had pass that exam that Congratulations on passing the test and becoming a pilot, and I also want to inform you that those that pass the exam that you will meet me here for tomorrow so that your 'real' pilot lessons in knowing how to work in the battle field and learning how to use equipment and materials that are use from pilots, and we will also teach you how to use your own personal custom made Nightmares" Edward said to the now real 'pilots' that ended up cheering in excitement and joy in hearing that they were going learn how to use there own personal custom made nightmares.
"now for those that had fail, I sorry to say that you didn't make it but don't feel asham because you will get another chance next year when the exams are being held agian. And hopefully you can learn from you mistakes and be able to know what you did wrong and be able to fix it, and also it is not the end of the world if you wern't able to make it because right now you all know about the crises that the world is facing so there is a good reasons why we are having fewer students graduate this year unlike the other past years" Edward said to the students that had fail exam whit explaing them that they could take the exams next year and be able to take it again whit a bit more intel on what they were going to know for the test.
"know that is all you may all be dismiss, head out to lunch before you guys go home whitin 40 minutes" Edward said to all the students that were in the room listening to what he had to say. And once they heard what he had to say, all of the students started go head out the room and towards the direction of the cafeteria for lunch.
And in the crowd of people or students that were heading to the cafeteria, the gang were talking about what they should do now that they had pass the exams.
"so what do you guys think we should do in order to celebrate our success in passing the exam" Oz said to his friends that were walking whit him to the cafeteria to get something to eat before they left.
When they heard Oz's comment about what they should do in order to celebrate there success in the exams, none of them had any idea on what to do since they were so busy with studying and training at both home and at school that they forgot about what they should do once they had pass the exams together, so they had no idea on what to do for there celebration.
"um I don't, we never really plan on doing something like this after we had pass the exams" Gilbert was the first to say that they didn't had anything plan out for a celebration.
"me nether I was so busy with studying that I forgot to think about something to do once we had pass the exams" Charlotte said while starching that back of her head while she tough about something that they could do in order to celebrate.
"I was busy working on my studies so I have nothing" Elliot said simply.
"I was busy studying and training with Break and Leo when we got out of school everyday so we don't have anything plan out as well" Vincent said as he told them that they three didn't have any idea about what they should do.
"I don't have anything plan out as well, I was busy studying at home to get myself ready for the exams" Echo was the last to say that she didn't had anything plan out to do as a group for there celebration.
"well it looks like we are going to have to come up with something, so ...any ideas about what we should do" Oz said while they enter the cafeteria and started to go to one of the lines in the cafeteria that serve food.
"well what type of place do you think may be suited for celebration" Vincent said as he was already thinking about some locations in town that he tough may be suited for a celebration party.
"hum ...probably somewhere were we can have fun" Leo said as he pick some of the food that he wanted on his plate and continue walk to the other side that had more food displayed.
"yea you probably have a point, but I think that we should go to a place where there is no people at all so that we can celebrate freely whit out having people around us" Elliot said as he tough about places that didn't had that much people in a specific place.
"well how about we go to one of the city's clubs were we can have fun" Break said whit a smile as he pick food that was displayed and put it on his tray. But when he said that they look at him whit look that said "are you serious".
"Why would we go to a club to celebrate, we are still underage to enter on of those places. and what kind of place would it make for a celebration" Charlotte said whit a annoyed tone when she heard Break's decision in going to a club,
"Charlotte right, a club is already fill whit people, we want to go to a place where we can hang out together as friends and not have people around us" Oz said as he explain the type of location that they were looking for, a club was no place to celebrate unless you were ready to get high or drunk, that was something that he didn't wanted to do.
"well what about a place that is located outside of town?' Gilbert ask Oz if it had to be a place that had to be located in the city.
"well no not really why?, do you have an idea in where we could go" Oz said to Gilbert as he finish picking the food that he wanted to eat in his tray and then started to walk to one of the tables that was empty and located next by the windows.
"well... I was thinking why not go to a place that is located out in the country where there is no people that can bother us, and a place where we can do whatever we want to celebrate our success in becoming a pilot" Gilbert's idea of going into the country was actually a good idea that everybody else started to think about some of the things that they could do out in the country where they could go and have fun whit various of activity's and ideas that they could come up with when they are in the country side.
"hey that actually sounds like fun, we could probably find a place that has a lake were we can go and swim in it" Vincent said whit a bit of a excited voice when he mention the idea of going swimming in a place the had no people but them.
"that actually sound even better, I could also bring some food with me that I can cook when we are out there when we get hungry" Oz said with a excited tone when he brought up the idea of him cooking food in a campfire.
When Oz's friends heard him say that he could cook something while they were out there having fun in the country side, they all brighten up when they heard Oz's idea of him cooking food, and the reason why was because Oz was VERY talented in cooking food that it tasted like a five start restaurant when they tasted Oz's cooking and it made you feel like you were in food paradise when you took a bit from his cooking.
"yea and I can ask my uncle if we can borrow his speed boat so that we can ride it in the lake, and we can take turns in using it for water skiing" Elliot said as he brought up the idea of using his uncles speed boat for there own fun.
"nice now we are coming up with something, so anybody else has anymore ideas in what we should do while we are out there" Oz said to the rest of his friends that hasn't yet said anything about the plans for there celebration.
"well I was thinking that we could buy some ...fireworks that we could light up when we are out there so we can have a show of fireworks" Echo said while eating rice whit her chop sticks.
"hey that's actually I good idea nice thinking Echo" Oz said while smile as he found Echo's of adding fireworks to there celebration.
"so anything else guys" Oz said to his friends while he continue eating his food which contain pieces of chicken and rice.
"yea ...so aren't we going to have to buy some things for the trip like ...food, swimming wear, and some sort of transportation so that we can get the speed boat that Elliot borrow from his uncle so that we can use?" Leo said as he mention the key things that they were missing for there trip to the country side where they were planning in having fun for there celebration.
"hum you do have a point there Leo, but I think you should leave the transportation part to me since I have a truck that I can use to take the speed boat and to take some of the stuff that we plan on taking" Elliot said to Leo about him using his truck to take both the boat and the stuff that they plan on taking for there trip outside the city.
"well it looks like we got that cover, so all we need is food and some fireworks for a show in the dark" Oz said.
"we can go to the store to buy some food and snacks for the trip once we get out of school, and while we are at it we can go buy a ton load of fireworks, but at the same time I think that we should all buy fireworks so that it doesn't look like we are up to something bad when we have one us buy a whole cart full of fireworks" Vincent said as
he resolve there ideas of getting food, snacks and fireworks.
"yea your right about taking turns in buying fireworks, we don't want the guy that sells us the fireworks to think that we are planning on doing something bad whit them" Oz said as he agreed whit Vincent's idea of taking turns in buy large or median amounts of fireworks.
"so anything else that you guys want to bring to the trip" Oz ask to his friends if they had anything else to say about bring things to the trip.
"hum ...hey why don't we take Ada, Sharon, Alice and Kate along the trip, I bet that they would have fun with us if they decided to go along whit us" Break said as he took a sip from his drink while eating his food.
"hum sure I guess I can ask them if they want to come along the trip" Oz said while he tough about taking his sisters and Alice and Kate along the trip. And when he tough it over he was thinking that I was probably a good idea in bring them along because he remember that now that they had pass the exams, he was sure that he was going to have a tight schedule whit pilot training, so he tough that inviting them along would be a good idea.
"hey have guys notice that they haven't arrive for lunch yet, they should had arrive here right after the bell had rang" Charlotte said as she told them ho were the ones that were missing from the table.
"yea that's true they should have arrive by now, hum ...I should probably text them to see where they are at" Oz said as he pull out his cell phone from his backpack and then started to send text messages to his sisters.
"hey Ada where are you and Sharon and Alice and Kate. Aren't you guys coming to eat lunch with us?" Oz
"we were dismissed early from school so we left home" Ada
"oh well alright then I was just wondering were you guys were, anyways me and the rest of the guys were planning on going to the store to get some things for a trip that we plan on going on Friday right after we leave from school, and we wanted to know if guys wanted to come along for the trip" Oz
"really that sounds cool, I'll ask them right now but I will answer you later because right now we are a bit busy with something right now so I'll tell you later if they want to come along" Ada
"Alright then, I'll see you guys at home soon" Oz
"well it seems that they were dismissed early today so they left and went to my house" Oz said as he told them were there missing friends were.
"well alright then, so what exactly are we getting for food Oz" Gilbert said as he ask him what he was going to take whit him for there trip, Gilbert wanted to know what Oz was going to make once they were out there.
"well that's going to have to be a surprise until we get there so you are just going to have to wait and find out" Oz said whit a snicker as he keep eating his food and the others did the same as they continue eating there food and talking amongst them self's until they were release from school.
20 minutes later
Japanese Military Base
Time: 2:29
"sir we are approaching the landing pad in 1 minutes sir" the Pilot who was flying the helicopter said to the three men that were seated in the back.
The guy on the left side was in his late forties while they guy in the middle and the guy on the right where in there late thirties, and the one in the middle had messy black hair whit contact glasses on him while he was dress in a white t-shirt and black jeans. The one on the left was a guy dress in a military uniform whit black short hair, and the one on the right side was dress in a business suit whit a brief case in his lap.
"So did you guys find anything in the waste land when you guys went out there to retrieve the survivors" the guy in the middle said to the guy in the military. The guy whit the glasses ho was name Martin Luis he work whit the Japanese Military and Government as a Scientist that work in many different types of feels. And he was the main guy ho was the creator of the Pilot's Nightmares and many other creations of technology for both military and for the people.
"no not much, ...just a bunch of ruble and burn down buildings was all we could find" the guy in the military uniform said whit non-excited tone as he look out the window whit a careless look on his face. The men in the military uniform was Dillon Watson, a guy ho join the military at the age of 21 and has being serving in the military ever since, and the reason why he was in the helicopter whit the creator of the technology that they see all around Japan was because he was assign as his bodyguard for when he went out of the country and when he was sent into meeting across distances.
"really?, nothing that could lead us to ho the enemy are not even a small clue" Martin ask Dillon if he has seen anything that could give any clue as to ho were the ones that have being attacking all the countries around the world.
Once the world had heard that country's around the world were being picked randomly for attack. All the countries had decided to form an alliance to help each other in the after attacks by sending in troops, food, medicine and supply's so that they can be help whit anything else that they need to recover from the attack. Many countries around the world were already gone and destroyed that it left nothing but ruble and debris everywhere, all of the survivors of the countries had to be move to a safer place where they were providing food, security, medicine and a place to sleep on.
But now they were having a small problem or should I say big problem, the problem was that they were running a bit low on supplies for the remaining survivors and they were also running low on some materials for a 'project' that they were working on.
"no we haven't really found anything that could lead us to the enemy attackers, all we have found was destruction and death" Dillon said whit a tired expression as he tried to forget some of the things that he saw out there when he was sent in to a nearby country to help collect survivors from the cites and towns an then have them transported to safe location.
"well that sucks, so anything new Tatsuko. Anything besides typing on the computer everyday and drinking energy drinks to stay up with the paper works" Martin ask the guy that was dress in the business suite. The guy name Tatsuko is one of the country's secretary of state, and he was a Martin's childhood friend since they were only 5.
"well thankfully not, whit the upcoming problems that we had so far I was able to get into the action whit having to help out the Military with some stuff, so now I don't have to sit on a computer all day like I use to so it's going ok for me" Tatsuko said whit a smile as he told his friend what he has been up to for the past month since they last meet when they were both call up to do some work that took up a lot of there time.
"well that sound good, so have you gotten any information about the attacks that happen in Vietnam and in Australia" Martin ask.
"well in the past few hours when they were attack, we send 1,000 of our troops to go and help out the remaining survivors, and on of our guys said that he had found something that had belong to the enemy when it had attack Vietnam" Tatsuko said.
"well what did he find?" Martin ask whit a curious voice as he ask Tatsuko what it was that the soldier had found in his duty to help out the remaining survivors. Meanwhile Dillon ho was board seem to be interested in the topic when he heard that I solider that was send to Vietnam found something that belong to the enemy.
"well, I can't really explain it to you on what he found, but I can show you once we get to the meeting" Tatsuko said as he patted his brief case.
"wait you have in there" Martin ask him as he pointed at this brief case. He was thinking that Tatsuko had brought the piece of object that the soldier had found.
"no this sis just my computer, the real thing is at base, the thing is to large for me to bring along so I brought my computer so that I can show you all instead" Tatsuko said as he explain to him what it was that he had brought whit him.
"so what does the thing look like?" Dillon said as he turn around from the window and look straight at Tatsuko whit a curious look on his face.
"well the object it's self is large, black, metal like, and it seems to be out of our reach of technology" Tatsuko said in a dry tone.
"what do you mean it's out of our reach of technology?. Is it some type of technology that we have seen yet" Dillon said as he ask him more about the object that they had found. And he was getting a bit more curious as to what it was when he was told by him that it was something that they were out of reach form technology.
"well there is some scary things about it, one of the scary things about it was that when we check what the material was made out of, we found out that it was made out of stuff that doesn't exist in the Periodic table, the only thing that we were able find in the thing was Uranium-235, a power source that is use for nuclear power plants" Tatsuko said.
"wow that's crazy, did you collect some samples for me to test on" Martin said whit a mischief but testing way,
"yes I did, how am I suppose to forget that you like testing on things that seem strange or dangerous" Tatsuko said whit a sigh as he remember the countless times that Martin has ask him to bring him samples of things that he or somebody else had found.
"well you know me, I just can't help but be curious in trying out new things that have being discover" Martin said whit a big smile while scratching that back of his head.
"you and your crazy things never seem to amaze me" Tatsuko said as he look out the window to see that they were about to land on the Helicopter pad.
"well it looks like we finally made it" Dillon said as he saw the landing are coming into view.
"it seem like it, well I just hope that the meeting goes by fast because I still got some stuff to do back at my lab" Martin said.
"what are you working on now Martin, time travel, neon lights that light up in the air, wave guns, flying cars?" Tatsuko said to Martin in a teasing voice when he told him what he was working on.
"well, no, already done, done whit that, and yes I am working on that but not just cars but something else, and the progress is going well" Martin said in a excited voice when he said that his progress in making flying transportation was going well.
Tatsuko and Dillon sweet drop from Martin's replay, he acted like a child when it came to his topics of him working on his projects at this lab.
So after that they proceeded to landing on the ground, they started to get off the helicopter and made there way into the large building that was only about a few hundred meters away from where they were.
And once they made there way inside, they had to go thru some security check and inspection before entering the main building. And once they were done whit that they were meet whit a guy dress in a military general uniform whit two soldiers on each side of him, the guy that was in the general uniform was in his late 70's whit white hair neatly comb back under his hat.
"Doctor, Martin it's great to see you again, how has your progress in your projects doing" the old men said as he shake hands whit Martin as he welcome back the creator of there countries technology that they all use, so it's thanks to him and a another group that also makes the advance technology that they use today.
"It's good to see you again General Takeo, my progress in my latest projects have gone well, I am almost done whit one of my projects that you guys had me requested, I should be done whit in the week" Martin said as he greeted General Takeo.
"really? well then I look forward to your finish product, now how about we get to the meeting the guest inside are waiting in your arrival so please follow me" G. Takeo said as he motion them to follow him to the meeting room.
And as they made there way to the room, what you would see as you pass by inside the large building would be people going all around the place holding hologram tables, see thru phones that displayed the screen on the glass like screen, and also hologram screens on the walls that showed things that were going on inside the building so that people ho pass by the hologram screens know when or where to go places when the time call for it. And when walking around the room you would see some people that has glasses that provides them with A. Clear vision so that they don't have to worry about breaking them or getting them dirty, B. it would give them the ability to do work, get information like, important information, notifications of meeting that are to be held, calls, and some other things that the user would need help in.
And all this stuff was created by Martin that it is crazy to know that one guy made all of this. And because of his creations, he had put Japan as the most advance country whit technology that they were about 60 to 80 years advance then everybody else.
So know that you have a bit of a image as to what the inside looks like, General Takeo and the other three finally made it to the meeting room that was being held in a very big rectangle size room whit a large holographic screen on the front of the room and a large rectangle table that seated 10 people on each side. And in those tables were very important people from there country and even the president was seated in the front of the table whit two ELITE soldiers standing next to him.
Once they made there way inside everybody ho saw the group of men enter the room stood up and bowed to them before siting down again. The president Susaku Hasakawa turn around from his chair and smile when he saw the Martin enter the room. He view him as a very important person of the country because of the great achivments that he has accomplish for his country that he himself has given him a title as a very important person in the country of Japan.
"Dr. Martin it's great to see you again, how has day being" the president said as he greeted Martin whit a hand shake.
"well it's been great so far so I can't say anything has gone wrong or anything so it's being ok" Martin said as he answer the president whit a smile as he told him of his day so far.
"well that sound good, now lets start the meeting shall we" the president said as he motion his hand to the empty seats that were open for them to sit down. So they did what they were told and took there seats and let the meeting begin.
"aright then, now that we got everybody here ...we are to start the meeting whit the topic being about the project H.O.M.E that we and other nations that still remain have been working on, and the reason why this meeting is being held is because we are having a bit of problem whit resources for the survivors and for the project that we are working on whit the other nations" the president said to the group of people that were present in the room.
"so what seems to be the problem Sir President" on of the men that was seated in table ask him what the problem was.
"well that problem is that we are running out of the material and products to both the project and the survivors, and the reason why we are running low is because our shipments had to be cut off because of the enemy having to take up some of the spots trading routes. So that means that they either have to take a very long time to get here and it may mean that they can't send the supplies to the specific location because there routes have being totally taken over from the enemy, so then that lives them stuck whit the supplies that we need". The president said as he explain the current situation that they and the other countries were facing.
"can we just send a squad to have them clear up the area that has the enemy so that we can clear up the route that has been taken over by the enemy" a woman that was dress in a suite and look to be about in her mid thirties.
"no can do, we already try that last week ...we lost seven men and woman to those enemy bastards after just 20 minutes of landing, they were blown to bits one by one as they tried to escape to the helicopter, and even the two pilots that were on the helicopter were kill by a mortar that was send by the enemy and kill them on the spot, so we aren't sending any men or woman to do anything like that again so sending any soldiers to a mission like that is ban" General Takeo said whit a serious but sad voice, he knew those men and woman that went on the mission to try and free the route so that they can get shipment started again, but instead they died whit out as much as a warning.
The room felt silent only for a short time when they heard about the failed mission that involve seven men and woman dyeing. Put it was then broken by the president voice.
"I agree whit G. Takeo, we decided not to send any soldiers that will ended up dying in the processes, so we want to hear a different type of plan that may help us get those routes clear as soon as possible, we still got survivors that need our help and we still got a project to finish" the president said whit serious voice as he place both his hands on the table and stood up to show that he was serious.
"how about we send a drone that can fly straight into the enemy's location from above and make it so that it blows up on the enemy" another guy on the table said as he share his idea to the rest.
"sorry men that wont do, we already tried that three days ago when we send four drones to the enemy's location that was blocking the route, they shoot them down the moment they saw them flying whit in a 2 mile radius from there location" martin was the one ho answer the guys question about sending in drones to deal whit the enemy.
"so how about we go under water and attack the enemy by surprise" the same guy said as he share whit them his other idea of fighting the enemy.
"nope that won't work ether, it's the same whit the first two they can detect anything that is about whit in 2 miles of it's radius so anything that you think may be of a sneak surprise would fail" Martin said again whit details of how it would fail.
"so you are saying that nothing is going to able to stop them" one of the guys that was located at the end of the table spoke saying that if there was anything that could prove useful against the enemy.
"well for them mean time no, but I been working on something that I think may work" Martin said whit a smile as he mention them about a project that he was working on.
"really and what may that be Dr. Martin" the president said whit curious voice when he heard Martin say that he had an idea. General Takeo and many of the other people that were in the room were also interested whit what he had to say about his idea.
"Well the way I tough about this idea was when I check the footage of how our soldiers were taken down, I when I did I notice that they use heat sensors in order to find us so then I tough that if they can see us when we are in the air, ground or underwater. Then I tough hey, are they able to spot us from deep underground or from way above the earth?, well the answer is no because heat sensors can't detected heat or cold from that large distance, so then I tough of a very good tactic of eliminating the enemy target whit out having to send any men or woman or bombs or missiles to attack the enemy" Martin said he took out a black rectangular shape object and place on the table and then pressing on a button that was located on one of the sides of the object before a hologram screen pop up showing something that cause them to have a surprise look on there face when they saw the object on the screen.
"what In the hell is that Martin" Tatsuko said as he lean forward to get a better view of the thing that was displayed on the screen. The object on the screen was a large rail cannon that was as big as a seven story building, and it was color black whit white and red color outlines on the rail canon that almost look like a space ship.
"what is that" one of the guys in the table said whit a shock look on his face when saw that thing that was being displayed on the screen.
"what you are seeing right know is something that I like to call, Betty. A custom made rail cannon mix whit a laser gun, it is made specially to take out the enemy from space whit a 100% accuracy and a very powerful shot that can destroyed the enemy whit in a matter of seconds from space" Martin said whit a proud tone as he explain to them his solution to the problem that they had in dealing whit the enemy force that was blocking there shipment route.
"that is truly amazing and terrifying, but I want to ask you a question Martin" the president said as he was still surprise form seeing Martin's creation, he never fails to surprise him whit his big and crazy ideas.
"sure Mr. President, go ahead ask me anything that is on your mind" Martin said as he lean back in his chair.
"well ...I want to ask you how are you going to be able to send this thing up in to space when we clearly have no space ship to take this thing up in to space because we don't have about 23,000 gallons of rocket fuel to send this thing up into space" the president said to Martin as he pointed out his opinion of a flaw in his creation. But that's what the tough.
"well it doesn't need liquid fuel to be sent into space because I made a custom made space aircraft that while carry 'Betty' up into space whit a power source that I had created in my lab. So I don't need liquid fuel to sent 'Betty' up in to space, and the space craft that I created is already done. All that there is left to do is sent if off whit your permission Mr. president, but there is also one other thing that I forgot to mention" Martin said as he stood straight up in his chair.
"And what would that be Dr. Martin" the president said as he waited to here Martin's final information about his plans on using 'Betty' to help them in there problem.
"well you see, 'Betty' is kind of complicated, it is not going to work whit me being on a control panel and control 'Betty' from here on earth, and the reason why is because I don't want to give the enemy a heads up warning of them being attack because then they may ended up lunching a missile to both 'Betty' and the space craft and cause it to blow up, so ...I am going to need a pilot to control it from whit in the space craft" Martin said as he explain the final detail to his plan, he needed a pilot to control it whit in the space craft so that he or she can control 'Betty' manually, and reduce the risk of being caught by the enemy.
And on hearing Martin's final comment of his idea, everybody became quiet. Nobody knew what to say because they weren't sure to either agree or disagree whit him whit sending a person to pilot both the aircraft and 'Betty', so they didn't know what to say until the president spoke.
"Martin if we were to send someone to space then ho would it be?. All of our air force pilots are at hard work whit there duties and whit other important matters, and I don't think that there is anybody else that may be able to control a space aircraft that 'you' invented, so if a were to ask you ho would you sent to this mission?", the president spoke to him whit a serious but loose look on his face when he told Martin that there wasn't anybody that could do this mission because of there busy duties that they had.
But Martin ho heard the President's comment only smile when he knew that answer to his problem of needing a pilot to do the mission.
"well I already have the answer to that Mr. President" Martin said whit a smile.
"and what would that be Dr. Martin, ho do you have in mind" the president ask in a curious tone, he was curious as to know ho it was that Martin plan on sending on the mission. Him and all of the rest of the people that were in the room were curious as well as to here Martin's answer.
"well to tell you ho it is that I plan on sending, can anybody tell me what important day it is for a group of important people ho are taking a 'blank' to enroll to a group that they choose to join". Martin ask to the everybody in the room.
Once he said that, everybody took there small time trying to figure out what he meant that it took about 2 minutes until a random guy in the table was able to answer Martin's question.
"Dr. Martin are you referring to the seniors students at Tokyo that had taken the exams" the guy said whit a bit of confusion tone, he was confuse in wondering why Martin would reference them to this sort of topic.
"well yes I am, and the reason why is because I choose to have the student that has gotten the highest grade in being the one in doing this mission, and to explain why is because in the test there is 20 questions that 'I' had put in there for the exams, and some of the questions were related to doing missions like this and questions in doing some flying that relates to using the technology that I had made for the space craft and for controlling 'Betty', and if you are asking how they would know how to use such technology is simple, they learn it in there studies when the seniors started there year of being seniors, and I was impress to see the grades of 'some' students that were learning the material very fast and easily that it was like a walk in the park" Martin finish his explanation whit giving them his explanation in finding a pilot for the mission.
"So you are saying that we should send on of the seniors that already knows the technology to be the pilot for the mission?" the president said while he started thinking over Martin's decision.
"of course, the test results were made just today after the seniors students had taken the exams, and the test results already told ho of the senior students had pass and fail the exams. So since they aren't really in duty 'yet', we could have the number one student that has ace the test and have him/her to be the one to carry on this mission" Martin said as he explain the last part to his idea to the president ho seem to perk up after hearing his reason.
"hum ...I guess I see your point, but are you sure that ho ever it is that we are going to send to this mission is capable of doing this mission Dr. Martin" the president said he told Martin if he was sure about sending a student or senior to a mission that was as important as this.
"of course Mr. President, everything is set for the mission all that there is left to do is for you to give the approval, and I also have to put in some last simple parts to the space craft that would take me about Saturday to finish installing them, and then the space craft and 'Betty' would be all good to go" Martin simply said as he told the president the last final detail information for the mission to be carried out.
"hum... are you sure that this mission can help us eliminate the enemy that is located whit in the routes that are block so that we can get the shipments running again" the president said while thinking over his decision. Martin ho heard his question simply nodded back at him.
"...then I guess we have not choice but to say that you have permission to carry out this mission and I want you to inform me of the mission when it is going to start, so anything else that anybody wants to say while we are still discussing this or is there something that you guys want say" the president ask the rest men and woman that were seated whit in the table.
"..." nobody said anything until Tatsuko ho was griping his brief case tightly spoke up. "actually there is something that I want to inform you about Mr. President" Tatsuko said as he started to open up his brief case.
"sure Tatsuko, what is on your mind" the president said as he and the rest of the people watch and waited for Tatsuko to take out his computer out of his brief case.
"well it has to do whit what happen in Vietnam and Australia, but it's mainly about what happened in Vietnam" Tatsuko said while turning on his computer and putting in his password before he started to search over the files that he had on his computer.
"so what is it that happen in Vietnam that it is so important Tatsuko, did they find something about the enemy that we haven't found out about them" a man that was seated next to him ask.
"actually yes, and it's a big shocker to me when I first saw it" Tatsuko said whit a bit of a tired voice as he search for the file that contain the information about the object that they found in Vietnam.
"really? and what is it that you guys found" the president said as he lean in forward in his chair so that he could hear him better.
"well I was only able to get pictures send to me when they contacted me about it, and they said that they have being working on putting the object that they found on one of our ships so that they can send it here and we can run some test on the object that they found, but I was also able to get a small piece of the material that they found". Tatsuko said as he took out a small square black box that he took out of his brief case and gave it to the president over the table.
The president and the people that were in the room like Dr. Martin and G. Takeo were curious as to know what was in the box that Tatsuko had handed to the president.
The president ho was a bit curious as well slowly started to open up the box so the see what was inside. So whit both hands he lifted the top cover of the box and slowly remove it to find a object that was cover with at white cloth inside. So he slowly pick it up with one hand notice that it was kind of heavy, the object that he was holding whit just one hand seem to weigh about the same as a rock that it felt weird to hold and object that was the size of his palm weigh about the same weight as a rock that probably big about twice the size of his hand.
So now that he knew the weight of the object, he slowly started to remove the white cloth until he started to see the color black that was hiding inside the white cloth, And whit the piece of cloth was remove, he and the rest of the people that were in the room were surprise to see a object that look like he was holding a black steel like diamond object whit pentagon shape pattern on the object that it seem to surprise them to see something like this.
"what on earth is this?, it looks like a I am holding a piece of diamond that looks like steel". The president said as he keep looking at the object whit both his eyes as he examine the object that he was holding in his hand.
"well that is something that had come off the object that we found on the beach of Vietnam that was located only about half a mile away, we don't really know what exactly that is for but we decided to name it 'Black Diamond' because of it's appearance and because believe it or not but that thing is actually a pure metal that doesn't exist on the periodic table" Tatsuko said as he was finishing establishing a connection whit the hologram TV the was located on the wall so that he can show them more of what they found in Vietnam.
"you got to be fucking kidding me, this thing doesn't exist in the periodic table?" the president said as he look at the object one last time before he started to pass it around the room for everybody to look at the weird alien like element that they had found.
"yea a am also surprise to know that as well, the scientist that were there were only able to identify it as a new element whit it being label as Element 202" Tatsuko said whit the last thing that they needed to know right before he was able to display the pictures and information about the thing that they found in Vietnam.
And once they saw what was displayed on the screen by Tatsuko, they all had a shocked and surprise look on there face when they saw what was on the screen that it shocked them to see such a thing be displayed on the screen.
Tatsuko ho was looking at Martin whit a serious look said in a serious but warning voice when he said. "martin if you are doing anything else besides the mission I recommend that you start working on military weapons and defense systems that are as far and advance then what you have right now because I promise you that when it is our turn to fight then enemy ...we are going to need everything that is far and advance then what we have right now to fight back against them"
(Scene Change)
"well that seems to be the last of it, I can't wait to go on the trim men it's going to be so much fun" Vincent said in a cheerful voice while he carry two bags of food whit both arms and he carry a bag of fireworks in his back pack.
And so as the rest of them were carry the same amount of things on them whit different types of food and fireworks. They had just finish shopping for food and fireworks about 50 minutes ago, and since they were done whit shopping for food and fireworks they made there way to Oz's house were Oz's sisters call him saying that they should all come over to there house (Oz's house).
Oz wanted to ask his sisters way they ask them to come over to there house altogether, but his sisters simply said that they were going to find out once they got there So Oz simply told his friends that they were going to his house. So they were already making there to his house after being drop of the metro system that they took to get to Oz's house.
"yea I am excited to, I can't wait to go swimming again like we use to when we were little kids when we use to go to the beach for spring break and in the summer" Oz said as he mention them the time when they use to go the beach for fun when they were little kids.
"men I forgot about that, I remember all the fun things that we use to do back then, we would always have competitions against one another for fun" Charlotte said whit a smile as she told them about the small competitions that they had against one another.
"we sure did have a lot fun with the competitions that we had against one another, I remember that one time when we had a competition to see ho could hold there breath long in off underwater, some of 'us' ended up having to quiet just after 15 seconds while the rest of us lasted for about 1 minute or more" Elliot said while pointed his elbow at Gilbert ho was walking right next to him.
Gilbert ho saw ho was Elliot pointing at which was him, he had a look of embarrassment when he was remember as the one ho ended up losing first in that one or should he say many competitions that they had that it made him feel embarrassed about him being the first one to lose.
"hey don't feel down Gilbert, you aren't the only one wasn't able to do some of the challenges that we had back then. I remember when we use to lose to you when we did challenges that were actually tuff for us but not for you so don't feel down" Leo said he playfully bump next to Gilbert as he carry his share of food that they got at the food market shop.
"yea but I remember the many of countless of times that I had always fail in, but I do still remember some of the ones that I ended up whining" Gilbert said whit small smile as he remember some of the challenges that he won when they were just kids.
"I wonder if we can come up whit new ones when we are at the trip" Echo said as she suggested that they come up with new ones once they go on there trip.
"hum ...I think I have some ideas for challenges once we get to our mark location on our trip" Oz said whit a thinking pose as they keep on walking.
"well then you better save them until late Friday when we go on our trip" Break said.
"well of course I'm going to save them, how is it going to be a challenge if you guys know what it is" Oz said back to break ho was smiling back at him while sucking on his lollipop that he had open up a few minutes ago when they had left the store.
"so besides challenges, what do you think were going to do once we go to school tomorrow, our instructor said that we were going to be taking things a bit more serious then what we use to, what do you think we would doing once we go back to school tomorrow". Charlotte said as she ask her friends about what they tough they were going to do tomorrow now that they have passes the exams.
"hum ...I really haven't really given it that much thinking in to it" Elliot said while he started to think about the upcoming events of there real pilot teachings and training that they were going to be doing in just a matter of days once they got out of there Christmas break.
"they probably are going to show us some stuff before we go off to Christmas break bro, the teachers told me that before we left school when I ask them what was going on tomorrow now that we became pilots" Leo said.
"really? well if it's just showing then I think I can relax trough the whole thing, me head hearts from all the studying I did last night and all of the questions that we were on the test" Oz said whit a tired voice as he sighed in relief.
"well your the type of person that doesn't come un prepare to important things, you always seem to be prepare for almost everything", Charlotte said whit a bit of laughter as she teased Oz.
"well I doesn't hurt to come prepare to things that are very important" Oz said whit a bit of a sigh as he and his friends continue walking to his house which was already coming into view from there location on the street.
"yea but you need to loosen up a bit more, you go to learn how to have fun while you still are young and while we still have some free time before we start our second semester in two weeks" Charlotte said as she told him to loosen up a bit and have fun.
"men first year semester went by so fast that it feels like we started school just Monday" Elliot said.
"yea no doubt about it, time seems to fly by whit out you knowing" Vincent said while he look up at sky that had clouds traveling slowly over the blue sky.
"how long do you think we have until we are the next country that gets attack" Vincent said as he continue looking up at the blue sky as he ask his friends a question that he was curious about.
All of them ho heard Vincent's questions seem to have gone quiet when they heard him ask them about how much time they had left until there country was next to be attack by the enemy.
"...well it depends, it depends on whether or not they want to attack us tomorrow or next week and leave us on the ground burning like the rest of the country's that had been attack by them, we can only wonder" Echo said in a monotone voice as she keep her eyes on the sidewalk that they were in as they walk to Oz's house.
"..." nobody said anything because they knew that she was right, they can only wonder if they were going to be attack next. And wonder when it would happen.
"well if the time came when we are the next one's to be attack, I promise my self that I will fight against them to protect the people that live here and the people that I care for, and I will make them pay for what they have done to the other country's around the world and bring peace among the world once again" Oz said whit a determine voice as he look up at the sky above him, and his eyes showed pure determination when he spoke out his promise of bring peace to the world once he has defeated the enemy that has cause nothing but suffering, death, destruction, kids whit no parents or older siblings to watch over them, siblings ho had lost brothers and sisters that were either, blown up, shoot to death, slaughter and crush to death by the enemy when they attack them.
Many lives were taken by the enemy that if you were to pill them up together to see just how many dead bodies there were, you would be able to fill and entire city from bottom to top whit the bodies of the dead.
When he was at home one day about four months ago when he was cooking some food for his sisters he was watching the news about an attack that had happen in Brazil and in the Philippines, and they were showing so of the aftermath that had happen there when the enemy had decided to attack both countries at the same time. And when he was watching the news when they were showing Brazil in it's destroyed form, he saw what would be the definition of 'hell on earth', he saw so much things that only Veteran soldiers would see in a war that it made him sick to his stomach to see how people were left dead, a woman was found dead only whit the top part of her body still intact while the rest was underneath a piece of rock that had landed on her. A man was found in ditch whit a large piece of wood going right thru his stomach. And couple was found dead in there car when a building had fallen on top of there car and had ended up crushing them both inside there car whit blood pouring out.
There was so much death in just one location in just 10 minutes when the attack had occur that it was shocking to see what had happen in such little time that it brought so much fear to everybody when they saw the news and the aftermath of the attack in person. He was scared when he saw the amount of destruction that was being displayed on the small TV that it made him fear on what would happen when it was them that got attack. But his fear was replace right away whit rage when he saw a part of the news that showed a boy whit brown hair and blue eyes that seem to be about the age of nine carrying his little baby sister in his arm while she cry out her heart out, the girl seem to be about the age of 4 when he saw her on the news.
And the reason why the little girl was crying so much was because she witness the deaths of her parents when they were crush by building that had collapse on them when they running towards them. But of course life like to be cruel sometimes so it came whit the deaths of there parents. So seeing the little girl cry out her heart out made him feel totally enrage against the enemy that has cause so much destruction that it made him feel angry at the enemy that he promised to himself that he would destroyed every last single on of them whit out mercy until they were all gone and had paid for what they had done.
Oz's friends seem a bit surprise whit Oz's comment that they didn't know how to react to it, in there eyes they saw him whit very pure determination and anger emotions that it surprise them to see him like this. Oz usually didn't acted like this, so seeing him act like this was something new for them.
"Oz are you ok dude, you space out there for a moment there you ok?" Vincent said as he tap his shoulder to wake him up from his little act.
"...uhm yea am fine, but I'm serious about fighting the enemy. Once they show up I will march into the battle and try my best to fight them off whit everything that I have in order to protect everyone that lives here so that they don't suffer like the rest of the world that had been attack by them" Oz said again to his friends only whit out his emotions not getting notice.
"and we will be right behind you Oz, we can let you take all the victory alone can we" Charlotte said whit a smile as they continue walking to Oz house that was only about three houses away.
"yea she is right Oz, we won't let you go in all alone we will be right next to you when it happens" Gilbert said as he smile back at Oz.
"me as well, I will cover your back in combat anytime" Echo said as she send him a small smile towards him.
"and I will make sure that you don't get yourself kill in combat, we can have one of our friends fall in the field can we" Elliot said.
"he he he, says that one ho gets his but kick me every time" Break said whit a snicker as he tease Elliot about his failed attempts on beating him in a fight of hand to hand combat. Elliot always lost to him.
"well at least I don't get my ass handed to me by a girl" Elliot said to Break about him getting beaten by a girl that's about two or one years younger then him.
"well I don't mind getting beaten by girl as long as she is hot" Break said whit a smile as he continue to suck on his lollipop that he has in his mouth.
"can you guys stop arguing, you guys sound like toddlers fighting over a toy" Leo said as he was between the two that were arguing with each other whit each other while he carry some of the food that they bought at the grocery store.
"Leo right you two calm down, we are already here so keep it down, ...wait what is this car doing here" Oz said whit a bit of a curious tone when he saw a black car that was parked in there driveway.
"what wrong Oz" Echo said as she saw Oz's confuse look on his face when he saw the car that was parked in there driveway. When she saw it she to was curious about ho's car it was because she already knew that it wasn't his nor it was here when they left in the morning for school so, it was kind of weird to see a car be park in there driveway.
"hey Oz is someone here besides your sisters?" Echo ask him if there was anyone else besides his sisters that were home.
"no but ...I think that there may be someone else besides my sisters and Alice and Kate" Oz said whit a curious tone as he started to walk to his front door of the house.
Oz's friend follow him as they made there way towards the front door of the house. And once they were there Oz tried to open the door but he founded to be locked, so he took out the key to his house while using one hand since he was still holding the bag of food whit the other.
So once he got the key out of this pocket, he placed it right in the key hole and turn it around before slowly opening the door and entering his house. And when he step in to his house, he saw that his house was decorated whit many types of party decorations that were mainly the color yellow, white and green.
And once he and his friends were all inside the house and had closed the door behind them. Ada, Sharon, Alice and Kate pop up from there hiding places whit a few other adults whit them. And they all shouted, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY OZ, AND CONGRAGULATIONS ON BECOMING PILOTS YOU ALL'.
