As Earl opened his eyes, he once again found himself inside of his own mind, a familiar space he has been to before.It was the same place he was consumed in, before waking up back at the rainbow forest."so this is it huh? The mind's eye.... This is the place that consciousnesses reside according to the book Soki gave me.So this where it is.... The 'darkness' within...." said Earl as he began walking around the place.He was dressed in what he wore during the battle, and he made sure to move with caution.'.... According to the book, a stronger willed consciousness is bound to take over when the two consciousness collide.But a stronger willed consciousness would need an 'anchor' to win the battle, an emotional attachment stronger than the will to live.But that's the part I didn't quite get, and I'm gonna have to battle the second consciousness when the time comes' thought Earl.Shivers ran down Earl's spine as he felt a shadow run past him, "... Wha- I'ts here already?!!!" said Ea
"where..... Where am I?" asked Sidney as he blinked his eyes open, he found himself in the dorm room.He was on his usual bed, lying down, as he slowly picked himself up, Jake was busy applying gel to his purple hair, to keep its smooth consistency.William was off to the corner of his own bed, rubbing his tired eyes as he had just woken up."hey Sid!!!" said Earl who was busy brushing his teeth as he waved in Sidney's face.Seeing Earl and everything else, along with the fact that he still had the same torn clothes he wore when everything happened.Made him confused."huh?" said Sidney in response."how long you gonna stay down?" asked Earl, "hey!!! Hair for brains!!! Go brush your teeth inside the bathroom!!! It's disgusting!!!" said Jake."yeah yeah airhead!!!" snapped Earl as he began walking over to the bathroom, '... Earl....' thought Sidney as he watched Earl slowly get farther away from him.As he shut his eye and opened it back up, he found himself in the same hopeless situat
As the announcement rung through the ears of all the students, "Earl White and Sidney Guy have been captured by the ORA""... Wait, what?!!!" said Henry in disbelief as he clenched his hair in his hands, "that can't be right!!!" said Crystal."Gosh darn it!!!!" yelled Ruby as she stomped her foot on the ground angrily.Annie couldn't even speak a word, she could only hold her own mouth shut, using both her hands.Tears filled her eyes, but didn't flow down, only keeping her in pure fright and uncertainty."Earl..." said Suzuki with sad eyes, "they kidnapped one of the 'prodigies?" said Lan, "Earl!!" said Ralph.Janet was quiet, with a puzzled look on her face, "how could this school let this happen?!!!" she yelled out in anger."Earl!!!" said Christopher, Alice, who was beside him said nothing, and could only place her hand on his shoulder."How come?!!!" "Why?!!!" "when?!!!" "I thought this was one of the best schools in Welgrid!!!!" "how many times will they attack us?!!!" the screa
Sidney slowly opened up his eyes and found himself surrounded by masked people.They all had varying heights, builds and weapons, from tall to short, muscular to fat to skinny, from swords to axes to makes and lances.Each different person each had a different weapon of their own.And each was fully dressed in black, with all of them wearing masks over their faces, showing only their eyes and everything above."you think he's dead?" said a short man, wearing masks, "nah, I bet you a hundred pebs he's wakes up" said the tallest in the group."your on!!!" said the short man confidently."guys shut up, I think he's waking up" said one with orange spiky hair."wait really?" asked the short man, "hahaha pay up Shorty!!!!" laughed the tallest one.'... Huh?.... Bandits?!!!' thought Sidney as he began scanning all the faces around him."hey, can you hear me?" asked the spiky haired man, "wh-who.... Are you?" asked Sidney, "well that's obvious" said the tallest man."We're bandits!!!" said th
Having heard the news about Earl and Sidney, and the added fact that none of them could do anything about it made school life a lot less enjoyable. As one would imagine.The most affected were those who were directly intertwined in their lives, Ruby, Annie, Henry, Jake and Williams.Other people too like Crystal, Suzuki and Christopher were the next most affected of the bunch.As they hadn't been as close, but their lives were greatly affected and change thanks to primarily Earl's contribution.All in all, Earl had made his input and image cemented into the minds of all of Wallace's first year students, and having neither him, nor Sidney around felt weird to the students.Even the teachers were affected, especially Soki and Mr Stevens, as both had close ties to Earl in one way or the other.And knowing the ORA for the reputation they had, they could only imagine the worse that could've happened to the two.The second years were affected as well, not all, but most, as their class rep'
Annie was seated in an empty table in the cafeteria, all by herself, eating the food served up in front of her.It's not like no one wanted to sit with her, but her expression and overall mood wasn't an inviting one.Not to mention the fact that she picked the empty table on her own accord.As she was munching down on a her fries, both Jake and Williams entered into the cafeteria, one after another.'... Ever since that day in the hospital, since Earl and Sidney got kidnapped, Jake hasn't spoken a word to me.Even though we both are still living in the same dorm room and see each other everyday, he doesn't even respond to me at all.And I'm too guilty, ashamed and scared to try any harder than this...' thought William as he picked up a tray and stood in line.Right behind Jake.Just as William thought, Jake had a stoic look on his face, and didn't speak a word, nor look at any of the other students, since entering the cafeteria.Seeing Jake the way he was, hurt William.Most, if not a
Soki, Horace, Mr Stevens, Miss Kayla, Charlie, Cecilia, Mr Adams, Miss Edna and Borak we're all inside the principals office.All on their feet, except for Horace, who was seated in his chair, wearing a Japanese yukata.Soki wore no shirt, as usual, wearing a lot of beads, and only pants, being barefooted.Mr Stevens wore a red suit, without the suit jacket, with black shoes. Miss Kayla wore a black suit, with the jacket on.Charlie put on a huge coat, covering most of his clothing, letting only his blue shirt, Guci belt buckle, and brown pants, barely peek through, with black boots.Cecilia wore pants and a shirt, a very casual look, while both Mr Stevens and Miss Edna wore blue suits.They all had been discussing the current matter at hand for the past 4 hours.Although people like Mr Adams and Mr Stevens wanted to act off of personal emotions, Soki and the others managed to calm him down before that time.After talking about the plan, and making sufficient preparations, a final ver
"you mean principal Glenn and a bunch of other guys are discussing the plan to save Sid and Earl right now?!!!" asked Jake with hope shining in his eyes."Yes!!! Right now!!" she said as she grabbed Annie by the shoulder and gave her a light shake."you hear Annie, they're gonna save them!!!!" said Ruby as she continued to shake her lightly.'... They're gonna save them, they're gonna....' thought Annie as tears welled up in her eyes.As the thought of the two returning ran through her head, a bittersweet smile sat on her face.She immediately covered it up as she wiped her tears away using her forearm, and escaped Ruby's grasp, heading straight for the cafeteria door.Seeing this, not just Ruby, but everyone else too was surprised and confused."Annie!!! Where are you going?!!!" yelled Ruby as she watched Annie exit through the cafeteria doors."she's going to the principal's office!!" said Jake as he too walked past Ruby and began jogging towards the door."wait!!! Why?!! And where
