Chapter 5: Is this a dream?
Once the descend had ended with having to reach 15,840 feet underground and having to scream all the way down. They finally reach the bottom of the area that they were descending to.
"oh god that was terrifying, I never had experience the much G-Force in my life" Oz said as he breath in and out to help him calm down.
Meanwhile Oz's friends were also doing the same things except they look like they were either going to throw up, or pass out.
"is the room still spinning?, b-because that's all I see" Charlotte said as she still clung on to Oz for support.
"I think I'm going to puke" Vincent said as he cover his mouth with his right hand.
"Please don't, I don't want to humiliated in front of people by having you vomit on me" Gilbert said to his brother as he push him away to avoid being puke on in front of people.
"my head hurts" Elliot said as he hold his right hand on his head while looking down on the floor.
"that ...wasn't so bad" Echo said as she was getting over her dizziness while still holding onto Oz's arm.
"easy for you to say, my head feels like it's been spinning for hours with out ending" Leo said as he hold his right onto his head while leaning forward in his chair.
"well if you ask me ...that was one hell of a ride" Break said whit a smile as he was slightly shaking in his seat.
"..." Oz and the rest of his friends choose not to replay to him because it sounded like he was crazy, and also because they were to occupied with there own problems of headaches.
Meanwhile, as the seniors and Oz and his friends were recovering from the drop. The principal and the rest of the teachers ho weren't faded by the drop, stood up from there chairs and started to do the rest of the work that they were doing to get to there location.
So the teachers began there work on getting the platform that the were on, to go forward to the empty hall that was about the height of a three story building and about the same width of the platform, to travel straight into the hallway at a speed of 90 miles per hour.
So for the past six minutes of being on the ride, the senior students decide to talk among themselves for the time being until they reach there destination point.
"so what do you think is at the end of the hallway?" Charlotte ask while she sat in her chair.
"beats me, probably some secret underground base that the school has been making for the past few years" Elliot said while he stood up from his seat and lean to his chair.
"or probably some secret place that the school owns, and it may have something to do with our second semester" Leo said as he adjusted his glasses.
"hmmm, probably it could be some secret training ground that they have, and they probably are going to tell us that it may be how we will be training for our next semester" Oz said as he was in deep tough as he tried to figure out the real reason as were they were going.
"probably, I think that we may be going to somewhere new that the school has made in order to make us improve in our training for the upcoming fight against the enemy when they finally decided to attack us" Break said as he gave his opinion to were they were going.
"probably, the principle did said that we were going to have to start our second semester a week early, so that means no break on the new years eve holiday" Gilbert said.
"yeah but don't sweet it, we really don't do much but sit around and light fireworks in the night" Oz said as he reminded them that they really didn't do much on that holiday but light fireworks in the middle of the night and drink soda and eat food.
"it's true that 'we' don't really do much on that day. But I have a feeling that something interesting may be at the end of the hallway" Echo said.
"what makes you say that?" Elliot ask.
"well if you look at how we are traveling right know you would see that it's a bit of secret since we are going deep underground were no one can see us. And we also seem to be traveling to somewhere far away since we are moving really fast to wherever we have to go to" Echo explain to them on why she thinks that they may be going somewhere that may be kind of interesting to find out.
"well you seem to have a point there but, we need more then just that to come up with an idea on where we may be heading. So we need think out of the box" Oz said as he started to focus deeply on guessing on where they may be heading.
"well ...what about the direction that we are heading, could that be of any use as to were we are going?" Charlotte ask him about the way that they were traveling, the way that they were traveling could prove of some use.
"hmm, that could help but you need to know exactly the direction that we are going because, then you wouldn't know were we are going" Leo said as he told Charlotte the downside to her idea.
"well that's easy because we are heading north, when we took our seats in the auditorium we were facing north. So that means that we are currently heading north, but then again ...were exactly north? Break ho was sitting in his chair sucking on his lollipop said as he told them of the direction that they were heading with another question in mind.
"hmm, that's true were exactly north are we going" Elliot said as he began to wonder were exactly north were they heading.
"well it's kind of hard to figure that out since we can't really tell what speed we are going and we can't tell how long this trip is going to last so ...I guess we are going to have to wait until we get there and find out our selves" Gilbert said as he sat in his chair with a board expression.
"well true but at least it's not as bad as having to drop 15,840 underground at full speed" Echo said.
"yea well, I am still a bit curious as to why 'we' went down about 15,480 feet underground?. What's so important that we had to go so deep underground to just go to one location, usually they have transportation that only go about 180 feet underground and nothing more, but having to drop such a distance underground sounds very strange to me" Oz said as he put both of his hands together and sat up straight in his chair.
"well if you put it like that then I guess it is strange" Charlotte said.
"yeah but the question is 'why'?, why did we travel so deep underground". Vincent said as he was standing up while leaning up against his chair.
"..." Oz and the rest of his friends started to think deeply as to why they went so deep underground. Some of them were thinking simple stuff while some of them were thinking out of the box and far out.
But it went like for the past 10 minutes until they heard the principal ho told them to take there seats because they were about to enter the designated location that they have been traveling to.
"please take your seats, we are within half a mile to the entrance so I want to tell you just some small things that you need to know before we get there so please sit down and be quiet so that I can tell you with out having to repeat myself ok"
The principal said as he waited for the students to take there seats and to settled down before he could continue talking to them.
So once the students had quiet down and had taken there seats, he was able to continue talking. "alright now before we get there I want to say that you are about to see something that is going to make your eyes pop out from amazement and I also want you to try and keep yourself as calm as possible, you don't want to look like a bunch of little kids among the people that are older then you"
The principal said to the seniors to keep them selves calm once they get there and to keep themselves calm unless they wanted to act bad in front of people that may look at them as kids that are irresponsible.
"now I also want to say that this is something that our country has been working on since the year 1990's when our country decided to build 'this' project that would come in handy to us in the future when we would needed it to protect our selves from anything that would cause major destruction to our country or to our world. So what you are about to see, it's going to be something that our country has been working on for the past few decades and it's something that would break modern science and history with just one look. So prepare yourselves to see something that will blow your mind away" The principal said with a smile on his face.
Hearing what the principal had to say made them feel curious and nervous as to what he said that it made them want to know what was at the end of the ride that they started to question what was going to happen.
Soon the ride ended with them reaching the end of the hallway were a large metal door was closed right in front of them with orange flashing lights on the top. And to the left side was a large black room that had lockers with numbers on it that was on the left side of the large black room, and on the right side was what you would called a waiting room with sofas and chairs that seem to be a bit futuristic with the way that it was design. And the dark room soon light up with lights that were in the floor the went right in between the lockers and it went in a straight line. And it only gave a little bit of light into the room that it only glowed and show the lockers in the dark with a yellow white light glow.
And seeing the lockers made the seniors even more confuse as to what was going on.
"ok before we enter the place I need you all to get change into the new clothing that we have for you, you will pick it up at the table right there and we will also hand you your locker number and a wristband that you will put on your wrist. And this will allow you to access your locker by just putting it up against the scanner that's on your locker and it would allow you to put your clothing in. Once we hand you your clothes you will go and change in either the male or female room that's located down the hall. And once your done with that you will stored your school uniform in your locker and meet me here in 30 minutes so that we can go inside alright, your dismissed"
The principal dismissed the seniors and let them get there clothing that they had to pick up at the desk in the room where three teachers were at the table waiting for them to come on over so that they can hand over there outfit. So not wanting to waste time, they went to pick up new clothing at the table were the teachers were waiting for them.
So once they got there new clothing that was all black with black jeans, a black t-shirt, a pair of black metal shoes that are built for handling heavy duty work. A black like leather long sleeve shirt with a zipper in the middle of the shirt, and this is what you would put over the black t-shirt. And on the back of the long sleeve shirt was a strip of a blue neon light that went down from the back of the neck to the bottom of the long sleeve shirt. And on the front of the long sleeve shirt was a patch that had a holographic small rectangle screen that was only the size of a business card. And on the screen it would show your ID information. And last piece of the clothing that they were given was a simple black cap hat.
"hmm this clothing isn't that bad after all, it feels like I am wrap in a warm blanket" Oz said to himself as he put his school uniform inside his locker after getting change into the outfit that they were given by the teachers.
And when he tried on the clothing, he actually like the new clothing because it fit nicely with out having any of the clothing passing parts of his body and it was so comfortable that he felt like he was in a cloud.
"well now that I am done with changing clothing, I think I should wait for the rest of the guys to finish changing while I wait for them" Oz said to himself as he lock his locker before going to the waiting room were only about 5 to 7 people were already seated in the room while they waited for either there friends to show up or they waited for any other given instructions by the principal or the teachers.
But once he got there and look around the room, he saw that his friends weren't here because they haven't yet finish changing into there new outfit. So he decided to take a seat in one of the empty benches that was located on the far right side of the room.
And once he did, he look around the room that he and the rest of the seniors were in. The place it self look very advance with how the place was built and design that it look like and transportation site in the city mix with a manufacturing place with the lockers. But overall the place didn't look so bad.
But the room that they were in wasn't the only thing that got his attention. Nope it was the big metal like door that was in front of the plat form. And the principal and the teachers were also changing into the same type of clothing that they were wearing but, instead of the color black like there's. The color of the clothing that they wore was white instead of the color black.
"I wonder why we have to change into this clothing, does it have some sort of special material or something?" Oz said to himself as he inspect his clothing that he wore. And when he look closely into his pants and t-shirt, he saw that the clothing he was wearing was made out something different then ordinary clothing.
"this is made out of something different then just cotton or other fabric material, it's kind of like metal cotton" Oz is surprise to see that the clothing that they were wearing was something new that he hasn't seen before.
"I wonder why it's made like this, hmm also I wonder why they made us wear this hat? it's not made out of anything important so ...why the hat?" Oz said to himself as he question the clothing that they were wearing while he waited for his friends to arrive.
But as he waited for his friends to arrive, he was just thinking about something in his head when out of nowhere a pair of hands came from behind him and grab his shoulders in a tight grip.
"hey Oz what do you think, I don't look that bad in this outfit right?" a female voice said from behind him as 'she' ask Oz on how she looks in the outfit that they were given.
Oz ho was a bit surprise by the sudden action only caused him to have a look on his face that said that he was now 'awake' form his thoughts. But either way he turn around to see that the girl ho ask him about how she look in the outfit was no other then Charlotte ho was already dressed in the black outfit that they were given. And Oz ho was looking at Charlotte in the black outfit, he couldn't help but to say to himself that she look kind of 'good' in that outfit.
"well, I would say that it looks good on you" Oz said as he told Charlotte his opinion on how she looked. Charlotte in his opinion still look good even if she wears dark clothing with a hat on top of her head to keep her hair from getting caught from things, and she also had her hair tied in a pony tail like the rest of the girls that were here so that they can ovoid getting there hair tangle into things.
"really, thanks" Charlotte said to Oz as she pulled him into a hug that it surprise Oz when he felt her arms go around him, and pulled him into a hug. And the little scene between the two cause jealous glares to be aimed on both Oz and Charlotte that came from the male and female seniors that pass by them.
"you should let go Charlotte, you are causing a scene" a voice said next to them as they heard a female voice say that Charlotte should let go because she was causing a scene.
"oh common Echo, we are just having fun so why don't you join in" Charlotte said in playful voice as she put her right arm around Echo's neck and pulled her into the hug that was her Charlotte and Oz.
And having Echo now in the small hug cause Oz to feel a bit embarrassed of having to be in a hug by two beautiful girls in a place that had people watching. Echo felt that same way except that it was her and the other two.
"well it looks like we have some people that are having fun" Vincent said as he walk in the small scene of the three teenagers that we acting a bit cheerful.
In hearing his voice, Oz and Echo were let go from Charlotte's hug and were allowed to breath again. Charlotte's strength was a bit strong when they were put in the hug by her that they couldn't breath from having Charlotte's arm around there neck's.
"well we were just having our fun and all, so were is your brother and the rest of the guys" Charlotte said as she sat down next to Oz's spot on the metal bench.
"they are almost finish with getting there stuff into there lockers so they should be here by any moment" Vincent said as he took a seat on a bench that was parallel to there's,
"well that's good to hear, we only got about 14 minutes left until we have to get back on the platform, ...and then we can see what's on the other side and see why the principal is so egger to show us what is down here" Oz said he told them of the remaining time that they had until they were able to go inside and see why it is that the principal is so excited in showing them what is on the other side of the metal door.
"Hmm I am actually kind of excited to see what's on the other side of the door" Vincent said as he look at the big metal like door that separated them from what was on the inside of the door.
Oz and Echo Charlotte look at the metal door with curiosity. They were still wondering on what was inside the metal door that they started to think of the possible things that could be on the other side.
Vincent and Charlotte were both thinking that inside was a secret military base that had most advance military weapons, air craft and war machines.
Echo was think that on the other side was a secret underground base were they could put all of the people of japan into this base were they could be safe from any serious and dangerous attacks. And she go this idea from the principal when he said that they had made this project to help protect themselves from any dangerous things that could cause harm to them and the world.
Oz was thinking something similar as to what Echo was thinking, he was thinking of a underground city were they could evacuated all of the people that live in Japan. And he was also thinking of some high tech stuff that they may have inside that they would use to protect themselves of any more attacks of the enemy. And he was thinking something more bigger like inside it could be just one whole big transportation device that they would use to have people and them escape the fight against the enemy.
But what they don't know is that they are some what close as to what could be inside. All that they needed to do was combine there ideas on what was inside and think a little bigger.
"well as excited as I am to see what is inside, I say that it best if we wait". Vincent said in tired tone as he look away from the metal door and faced them while being seated.
"yea but it's still makes you wonder on what could be inside" Oz said as he turn away from the metal door and responded back to Vincent.
"your telling me, trough this whole time it feels like they are messing with us by making us wait" Vincent said.
"well true but I can tell that they just need to do something before we enter inside. I mean, they gave us this clothing for some reason right?" Oz said as he pointed to the clothing that he and him were wearing.
"true it's kind of weird that they would make us wear this kind of clothing before we enter, but I don't have anything against it since Oz seems to like it" Charlotte said as she got into the conversation between the two boys and gave a playful wink at Oz.
Oz didn't mind Charlotte's teasing since she has done it to him since they were 9 when she tease him every time for fun. So he was already use to it.
"well it's is true that they made us were this clothes for some odd reason, but I guess it's just them trying to tell us that they are trying to keep us safe from what ever is inside" Oz said as he look at the clothing that he was wearing.
"yea but either way it looks good. They now how to mix safety and style at the same time" Vincent said as he admire the clothing that he was wearing, Charlotte also had the same opinion when it came to the clothes that they were wearing.
"well it doesn't matter if it is somewhat fashionable, it is meant to keep you safe even do a don't see how simple clothing can keep you safe from any danger" Echo said in mid serious voice.
"yea but you can't lie about it being comfortable, it feels like you are wrap in a warm blanket" Oz said as he told them how he felt in the clothing.
"you sound like a little kid Oz, but your right it does feel rather warm and nice" Charlotte said as she put both her hands in her pocket and lean next to Oz so that she could get a little bit of rest before they went inside. She didn't know if they were going to be doing some exercise or some physical training once they went inside so she decided to get some rest before they went inside.
And once she did that, they heard the sound of footsteps that were coming towards them. And when they heard the incoming movement, they faced the direction in witch the sound came from and saw that it was Gilbert, Leo, Elliot and Break ho were coming over to were they were seated while already dressed in the clothing that they were given.
"hey guys, we were finally able to get done changing once the changing room was clear out. And also after putting our stuff in our lockers in this maze of a room". Gilbert said as he took a seat next to his brother Vincent.
Leo and Elliot took a seat next to Charlotte's side while Break took a seat next to Gilbert. So know that they were done changing, all that they had to do was wait until the 10 minutes were up and then they could go inside and see what's on the other side.
"well it sure to you guys long in off" Oz said as he welcome back his friends.
"well the changing rooms were a bit crowded so we had to wait until it was clear out at least a half the room so that we could get change" Elliot said as he told him why they took more time in changing into there clothes.
"pfff are you guys like sensitive about changing in front of people or what?" Charlotte said in a joking manner as she and Oz and Vincent and Break laugh when Charlotte ask them if they were shy about changing in front people.
And hearing Charlotte's teasing caused Gilbert, Elliot and Leo to look embarrassed when they heard Charlotte's comment of them being shy in changing clothes in front of people.
"h-hey shut up alright, I am not use to changing in front of other people that are also getting change ok, so just be quiet" Elliot said in a annoyed tone while looking down to the ground with a embarrassed and annoyed look on his face.
"but you guys should had gotten use to it by now, trough the 4 years of being in this school and having to change in lockers just like this one, and you guys aren't use to it?" Echo said with a surprise look on her face while saying it in a voice that said "seriously".
"hey, s-some of us just aren't use to things alright" Gilbert said with a ashamed look on his face as he look down in embarrassment.
"yeah I get it but you should at 'least' be use to it by now. Later on when we are sent to real life mission and we are told to get change into our battle gear, they aren't going to let you wait until the changing room is clear out so you have to get use to now" Oz said as he explain to them that they need to get use to getting change in front of other people.
"yeah but we aren't use to it yet" Gilbert said in a embarrassed voice as he keep looking down.
"well lets just hope that you guys get use to it before we are put into the military for real" Oz said as he told him that they should get use to it before they were put into real life situations were they needed to get change into there combat uniform in a hurry with out having to be shy in changing in front of other people.
"Oz is right, we can have you guys slow down in situation like that. You guys have to get use to it or else they may not even allowed you to go into missions if you are to shy in getting change" Echo said as she told them in s serious voice.
"Well anyways besides talking about getting change in front of people. Are you guys curious as to what is going to happen next semester when we take our serious training to a whole new level?". Vincent said with a excited voice as he ask his friends if they were excited to see what there next semester was going to be like.
And on hearing Vincent's question, they all smirk when they started to talk to one another about the things that they think they may do when there second semester would start.
10 minutes later
"Alright you guys get on the platform, we are going in now so hurry up we don't have time to waste" the principal said out loud to the seniors as he inform them that they were going inside.
And hearing there orders being given to them, they walk quickly back into there seats and stayed silent as they waited for any other given information.
So once everybody was back in there seats and silent, the principal took his turn in speaking to them on what was going to happen in the next few moments.
"alright now that well are all done getting change and all, first I want tell you that the clothing that we gave you is to protect you from the ongoing work that goes inside and to provide information to the people that are inside when they see you so that they don't get confuse in thinking that you are some sort of 'new worker' that doesn't know were to go".
The principal explain to them the reason for the clothing that they were given, and why it was necessary for them to wear it once they were inside.
Some of the teachers laugh a bit when they heard the joke that the principal said. But the senior students stayed serious.
"anyways I also want to tell you that please stay in you seats unless you want to fall off so stay in your seats until we get to the station were we can get of and explore that place Ok" the principal said as he told them to stay in there seats when they were inside and to not get up until they reach the station.
"alright then, we are moving in" the principal said as he order the teachers that were in the back of the platform to start the trip inside.
And as order, the teachers that were in the back soon started to do the first few necessary things before going inside. So once they did that the platform made a small 'hissing' noise before the platform that they were on started to levitate in the air like a helicopter with out the noise of the blades cutting the wind.
"...!?" the senior students were surprise by the sudden move that they were confuse on what was happening.
Next the door stared to open up slowly as it let in some of the bright white light that came from the other side of the metal door to pass trough. And once the door was open ...the look on everybody's face was total shocked and amazement and star struck when they saw what was on the other side of the metal door.
"holy shit"
"h-how can this be possible?"
"how in the hell did they pull this off"
"my god this is amazing"
"this, this is unreal"
"I-I-I have no words"
"it looks like something out of a sci fi movie"
"this is what they have been working for the past decades?, this is like a dream"
(to know what they are looking at, and to get a better idea on what they are seeing. Go to DeviantArt and search "Neos City". Also instead of night time in the picture. it's going to be day time)
Those were the responds of Vincent, Charlotte, Elliot, Leo, Oz, Echo, Gilbert and Break when they saw the sci fi city that was right in front of them. The whole place look so amazing that they didn't know what to say or even think.
All of the senior students an including Oz and his friends were mind blown to finally see what was on the other side of the metal door that they were left speechless.
The principal and the teachers ho had already seen the city, they laugh a bit when they saw the younger generation look totally surprise.
"hahahaha it's really a bit surprise right" the principal said to the seniors that were still in surprise.
"well anyways, lets see some more shall we" the principal said as he gave the signal to the teachers in the back with is hand, to let know that could go inside.
And with that the platform went right in and took air as it sore trough the open space and flew in the air.
"wwwoooowww" was what the seniors said as they flew on the platform and look with there eyes at everything that was in front of them.
The whole place look amazing and incredible that they were still asking them self's on how it is that the country that they live in was able to create something this big and large and amazing with out having people know what's going on.
And on the walls of the area you could see water that was falling down on the walls that stretch all the way up to the top of the city were the skyscrapers seem to still be going up, and the top of the place was a long rectangle shape that was about 4 miles in width and 12 miles in length. And on the walls you could see that they were made out of pure metal steal that made up the walls. Also there was actually activity that went on in the city. And that activity was thousands of men and female workers that were "everywhere" in the city working on finishing building the city that was almost done.
"hey everybody, welcome to Neon City Everybody" the principal said with excitement as he smile at the senior students that were looking at all direction of the city that they were in. They were now traveling in between the skyscrapers that were already finish but, you could see some workers trough the glass that were working on adding furniture and supplies inside the rooms, offices, markets and homes.
But once they went to the middle of the city, witch was a large square area that was half a mile times half a mile. In the middle was a large white metal building that was made out of both metal and glass that showed a lot of amazing designs that it made it look like a building for the rich. And in the middle of the building was a landing platform that was extend out of the building. and around the building it had extended area platforms for people to be outside and do things that they wanted to do.
"this is Tokyo Academy, a new training academy that we have built for the next generation of future soldiers. And this is were you guys will be living for your next semester and for all of days that come in the future". The principal said as he told them that they were going to be staying here for the next fem months and probably for the rest of there life's 'if' they wanted to.
But of course, him saying that they would be living here cause them to have a confuse expression on there face.
"if you guys are confuse as to what I mean then let me explain. The new training that you guys will take will take place here were it is much easier to keep in contact with your progress and skills as they go up. Also since it's a long journey from here to the school, we have decided that we would have you guys move here so that you don't have to make the long journey from all the way from your house. And if you have any family members that you have and that are also in roll in the school, they can move in with you so that you and your relatives can still go to school with out having to make such a long journey to school and then to your home. And also this will provided safety to you and your family so that you don't have to worry about having to loss them in a attack from the enemy when they decided to attack us"
The principal finish explaining to them the important information that they needed to know so that they understood the situation a bit better. And surprisingly they did, they understood what he was talking about that they didn't seem to have any look of disagreement on them.
"ok then, before we go the building and show you your rooms that you guys will be staying. We needed to show you something else". The principal said as he gave a hand signal to the teachers on the back that were plying the platform and gave them the signal to fly the platform to fly up.
And as they went up, Oz and his friends and along with the rest of the seniors were able to get a bird's eye view of the city. And from way above they could see the entire structure of the whole entire city that it amaze them to see something this big that was built unknown to everybody in the world.
And as they reach the top of the city were they could see a horizon appear on the edges of the top. They saw that they skyscrapers that weren't just building for people to inside them but, they were also support columns for the big metal like roof that cover the sky. And once they were up that high they went out of the building at a very fast speed that it only took them about 1 minutes to arrive at the outside of the place and fly into the open sea.
And then they turn around and got a good view of the top city that they were in. IMPORTANT - (go to DeviantArt and search: A Well-known Island)
"This is how the top of the 'city' looks like from outside" the principal said with a smile across his face as he look at the beautiful city that was in front of them. And once again, the senior students were blown away by the amazing features that they didn't know what to say. And with the sun being on the mid horizon made it glow beautifully with the orange light that the sun gave.
"this is truly amazing" Oz said as he look at the city that was right in front of them that he was overwhelm with excitement.
His friends seem to agree with him as they nodded there heads in agreement. They were also overwhelm with excitement and total surprise that they also were left speechless.
And they spent about two hours on the platform traveling around the whole city as they spend the time to see all of the amazing views that the city had to offer. And once sight seeing was done, they made there way back to Tokyo Academy were they landed on the landing platform that was located on the ground.
So now they had gotten of off the platform and made there way inside were they were led into the lobby of the building were they again saw some of the teachers that were line up on the side were they were standing behind a table that hold papers and keys with them. Also the building in the inside also seem to be made from all high tech design with metal, furniture and glass that it made the place look more expensive and high tech.
"alright guys line up in lines of 6 and get in line. They are going to ask you your name and then they are going to give you your room key or 'home' since the size of each room is about the size of a house with a lot of space. So hurry up and get moving because we only have about two hours before we have to go to another important place".
The principal gave out the orders to the seniors so that they know what to do. And of course they did what they were told and form lines. So Oz and his friends went in a line and waited to get there room key. And once it was Oz turn, the woman ho was dress in a business attire that was all black with dark brown hair said.
"aright name please" she said as she finish writhing something down on the previous student's paper that had left just seconds ago when he as handed his key room.
"Oz Vessalius" Oz said as he gave his name to the female teacher.
"age?" she ask.
"18 now" he said.
"ok ...this is your room key #425, your room Is located in the 162 floor which is at the very top of the building" she said as she gave him his key and told him were he could find his key.
"thanks" Oz said as he smile and thank her before he walk away with his key in hand and made his way to the other side of the lobby, were the elevators were located at with some students that were waiting for there turn to get to there floor level.
So since he was in line to go to his floor level, he decide to look at the area around him. Everything that he saw made him feel like he was in a whole different world that he never has seen before. Everything that he look made him look amaze and excited as he look at everything that he could see.
And he could see the area outside of the building that was located in the middle of the whole building. Outside was a park with beautiful trees that were put trough the park. And the tress had there leafs at the color orange due to the type of weather that they were in. And in the middle was a pond that took about 1/3 of the big park, and the water was so pure and clean that you could see the bottom of the pond and be able to see your reflection on the water surface.
Truly everything that he look around him made him feel like he was living in a sci fi movie with high tech stuff that only people can dream off, and he felt deeply thankful for being able to experience something like this, even when they world outside was in chaos that it made him forget about what was going.
But soon in of, Echo came over and woke him up from his thinking by gently pushing him with her right hand.
"hey Oz are you ok" Echo said with a quiet but curious voice.
"what?, oh. No everything is fine Echo I was just lost in my thoughts is all" Echo said with a smile as he told her that everything was ok.
"oh? what were you thinking then" Echo ask while being a bit curious as to what he was thinking about.
"well it's quiet simple really, I was just think about the things that we are seeing right now. Like for an example the building that we are in and the park outside, everything that we are seeing right now is something that we can only see in a book or a movie that shows all of this things. And this is something that we can only wish to see that it makes me feel happy to know that we are able to experience something like this".
Oz said with a excited but calm voice as he told Echo what he was thinking about. And Echo ho saw Oz's excited mood made her smile a bit when she saw how happy and excited Oz was that it made her heart beat a bit strongly.
"I guess you have a point there Oz, we sure are lucky to be able to see something this amazing at our time of age" Echo commented back.
"yup, and if this is how far they had gotten with modern technology then just imagine what we will see in just 10 years from now" Oz said.
"well I guess that we can only wait and see what the future has in store for us" Echo said as she smile with a happy look on her face.
"yeah I guess your right, anyways what room number did you get Echo?. My room number is 425 and it's located in floor 162". Oz said as he ask Echo what was her room number that she got.
"well I got room number 420 in the same floor level as you, so I guess we might just be down the hall to one another" Echo said as she told him her room number.
"really then that's good, we could just walk to one another's room when we want to hang out together or something" Oz said happily as he told her that they could do things together whenever they wanted because they were located in the same floor level.
"hehehe yeah probably, anyways now that the elevator seems to be clear. Do you want to go check out our rooms that we got" Echo said as she raise her hand to her chest with the key to her room.
"yeah sure, we already seem to have a lot people behind us so let's not waste anytime" Oz said as he agreed with her and turn around and grab Echo's hand and made there way to the open elevator that was open.
But for Echo ho had Oz grab her hand without knowing, she was a bit surprise when she felt Oz hand grab hers that it made her blush a bit from feeling Oz's hand grab hers. And Oz ho saw that the only way to go up to the 162 floor, was to type it in on the touch screen that was on the right side of the door. So he type it in and press enter when he was done and let the elevator doors close before it send them up to the top of the building.
And once they passed the 50th floor, the wall on the right that was glass and on the other side was a metal wall. The metal wall soon disappear once they reach pass floor 50th floor and allowed them to see the outside of the building trough the glass wall.
"wow check out the view Echo, this is cool" Oz said as he let go of her hand and went to the glass wall and look at the awesome view that was in front of him, it gave him a view of the inside of the open building.
"this place looks amazing when you are up in the sky and get a better view of the area" Oz said as he keep his focus on the view down below.
Echo ho was still a bit embarrassed from feeling Oz's hand, she soon recover and look at the same direction that Oz was looking and told him about what she though about the view.
"well I guess it's really pretty compare to some of the things that we have seen today" Echo said as she walk up next to Oz as she look down at the view of the park and around her.
"yup, that park reminds me about that one time when we were kids when we went to the park in Tokyo when we were still in the 3rd grade, we sure did had a lot fun that day when we were just kids and were able to do anything childish for fun. I sure wish we could go back to those days once in a while" Oz said with a smile on his face as he put a hand on the glass wall as he look out.
"well, we do have that trip on Friday that we are going, we could do some of the things that we use to do when we were still young when we went to water parks in the city when it was summer" Echo said.
"yeah your right, we can do some of things that we did when we were kids so I guess your right about that. I can't wait to go on the trip, even thou it's winter and it gets a bit cold trough the day I am sure that we can still have a awesome time together" Oz said as he told her how he was still excited for the trip even when the temperature was a 'bit' cold, he was still sure that they could have fun because the temperature wasn't that cold that it would make you not want to be outside.
"yeah I sure am looking forward to it" Oz said as he keep looking thru the window and waited patiently for them to reach the top floor.
Once they were on the top floor, they exit the elevator and made there way down the hall that was made with white walls with granite floor with designs on it and with expensive decoration on the walls and on the roof that match the color white, silver and gold.
"wow even the hallways look fancy" Echo said as she tilted her head to her left when she saw how the hallways were greatly made to match the buildings.
"your telling me" Oz said as he and Echo began to walk down the hall and started to look for there rooms. And when they walk down the hall they first found Echo's room.
"well I guess we found your room" Oz said as he and Echo stood in front of her room door.
"it guess with did" Echo said as she raised her left hand that had the key to her room and insert it on the key hole and turn it.
And once they heard the door being unlock, she gently push the door open to get a view of her room. And once the door was wide open, there looks on seeing the room was(0_0).

"wow even the rooms are amazing" Oz said as he walk in the room and look around in Echo's room. And Echo ho had follow right behind Oz was looking around as well as she look at her room or 'home' that she got for herself. And she was amaze to see that her 'home' or 'room' was this beautiful and well design that she actually like that way that her room was made.
"it's a lot better then my house, I love it" Echo said with a smile as she happily walk around her 'home' and check out everything that she had.
Oz just watch as he saw Echo happily move around the room as she went to every room and area of the 'house' which is what he called it since the 'room' was practically the size of large expensive house made for the rich.
Everything that was in the room like, furniture, decorations, paintings, floor, dishes, tables, and the flat screen TV look like it belong to the rich that it made him wonder how they were able to afford so much high quality stuff for such a large building and for every room that had to be fill with this. It truly made him wonder how they had done it.
"Hey Oz come check this out" Echo shouted from second floor with excitement as she call out to him to come to were she was.
"alright I will be there in just a sec" Oz said as he started to make his way up the steal stairs and onto the second floor of the room and went down a hall before he went to one of the rooms that had the door slightly open.
So seeing that the door was open he enter inside to what look to be the master bedroom with the same quality of design as everything else that they had seen today. And when he enter the white room he look around to see that Echo was standing at the left side of the room while she was looking out the window.
"hey Echo what is it that you call?" Oz ask as he enter the room and walk up next to her.
"look" is all that she said as she point in the window the gave them a view of the entire city around them. And since they were at the very top of the building it gave them a very good view of the entire city from way above that they could barely see the bottom of the streets.
"wow this is very cool, you can see everything from here" Oz said as he placed his left on the window and look at all directions of the city.
"ho knew that our world with get so far at a time of crisis" Echo said whit a low voice as she look at the city with a small smile on her face.
"yeah, just being here makes you feel like nothing bad is going on outside the world, even thou the world is going to chaos. This place makes you forget everything that is happening outside" Oz said.
"yeah but ...I wonder how long it would last" Echo said with a sad voice as she keep looking at the city trough a glass wall.
"hum..." Oz was thinking about what she just said. She was true, how long will this last until one day it may end.
"we can only hope Echo, we can only hope that things can get better then what they are right now. That's why I take my studies and training in being a pilot seriously because I want to be one of those people that fight to protect those ho can't fight back, and to protect the people that are precious to you" Oz said with a serious but calm voice as he told Echo his reason on what he dose.
"I guess your right" Echo said as she smile a little from hearing Oz's words of motivation.
"anyways, I am going to go check out my room. I will be back in a while" Oz said as he told Echo that he was going to go and check out his room that he got.
"alright then" Echo said as she said goodbye to Oz ho left the room and exited her 'house'. And once he left, she went around exploring her house.
Oz ho was walking down the hall, he was looking for his room that was label 425. And so far he has already passed by room's 421, 422 and 423. So he only had about one more room to pass by before he got to his room.
"man they even have the hallways big and long that it takes about 3 minutes to just passed by three rooms so far" Oz said with a tired tone as he keep walking forward until he saw that he just passed by room 424, he was almost near reaching his room.
"well at least I am almost there" Oz said as he keep on walking on the long hallway. But as he walk he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.
"I guess somebody is texting me" Oz said as he took out his phone and check ho it was that had texted him as he keep on walking to his room.
And when he turn on his phone he saw that it was from Charlotte.
"hey Oz were are you and Echo?" from Charlotte
"me and Echo went to check out our room that we got. I got room 425 and she got room 420, and both of our rooms are located on the 162 floor. And she is in her room looking around while I am going to check out my 'room' or house since they are about the size of actual house" from Oz.
"really?. Me and the rest of the guys got the same floor level with my room being 422, so I am somewhere between y'all" from Charlotte.
"well that's awesome, anyways I already arrive at my room so once you guys get here we can check each other 'room's'" from Oz.
"alright then, see you later" from Charlotte.
Once he was done texting with Charlotte he put his phone back in his pocket and took out the key to his room and unlock his door. And when he heard the noise of the door unlocking he open the door to see that his room was just as amazing as he tough it would look.
Instead of having the stairs on the right side like Echo's 'room'. It was in the middle in a spiral shape as it went to the second floor. And the furniture was of the color black, and oak brown with the kitchen being made out steal and some advance tech to make up the kitchen. The paintings on the walls were abstract and very creative with colors. The furniture in the room and the decorations seem to mix in well with the entire house that he actually like the design of his house. The house was a blend of modern technology with mid style home features.
"this is just awesome" he said to himself as he walk around the house and look at everything that was in the house that he now was going to live in. Everything in the house had beautiful designs that it made it look like the house it's self was a art museum. So he spend about 5 minutes checking out the bottom floor of his house and check out everything that he had until he decided to check out the second floor.
So he went up the steal spiral stair chase and went up to the second floor that had white carpet for the floor instead of the dark oak wood floor that he had in the first floor. And once again the second floor had the same beautiful features that the first floor had.
And in the second floor he count the rooms that he had which total about 6 rooms in all. Five of the rooms were about the same size but, the last room which was the master bedroom was a lot bigger just like Echo's room that he had been in.
The master bedroom also had a view of the city. And the room was design with the colors orange white and black.
"wow they even know that colors that I like and they put them in my room which is very large" Oz to himself as he walk around his room were he thinks he will be sleeping in once he actually moves in.
And when he lay eye's on the bed that was right in front of him, he couldn't help but want to just fall on his back on the bed.
"aaaahhhhhhh this feels amazing and comfortable, it feels like I am in a cloud" Oz said with a tired but relax voice as he let his body to sink in to the cloud bed that he was on.
"I can feel all of the stress in my body disappear" Oz said as he had lay on the bed and let the stress in his body disappear in just minutes.
