Chapter 2 - 2 Pushed into an unknown planet

Sure ... the ship blasted off into the air and before I knew it .. the man managing our ship went hyperspace ...

Peter and his girls held on each other tightly ... of course despite the many things we're weird about ... fear was a common feeling ... and Peter ... well Peter was a little bit prone to fear ...

I wanted to mock him but that was not my style .. I just wanted to see him get off the ship with wobbly feet instead of trying to hide the terror ..

and within 2 minutes we arrived infront of a plain without any life ..

no plant sprouting on the desert land ... just nothing .. the entire land was filled with blight and destruction ..

the sand was steel like .. the water .. was black .. totally poisonous ..

Mr Charles .. our instructor went on talking about the importance of the sand and the water .. he was talking about all the things on the planet .. and I was thinking why was he telling us .. shouldn't we be doing out own thing ..

anyways .. he finished talking when we got to an outskirt ... and there in the middle was a large forest with green trees .. that shone brightly ...

we approached the forest with steady steps and caution .. it was never an option for us to engage battle with another species .. since we didn't even know how to fight ...

and recalling from what Mr Charles said earlier .. there were some beasts living here .. it would be best if we didn't provoked them since they lived peacefully without engaging with us ..

after a while ... we entered the forest with the smell of strawberries ..?

and up close we could see that the trees weren't really green not were they any color ...

with each light ray shining upon the planet ... the trees seemed to reflect from the colors of the sun rays and changed from time to time ..

and not only were the tree's changing amazing but also their barks and leaves ...

and judging from how hard and special they were I could deduce that our ships and most of things in Modig were made from these trees special characteristics ...

and when venturing inside deep into the forest .. Mr Charles went on about the special inner ore of the trees that made them stand out to most metal and steel ..

he said that when cutting the trees from the bark ... a tiny shiny stone would appear ...

each had rainbow coloured roots and spread throughout the entire tree ... .. these stones made up for the energy to start up and fly the ship ..

and that doesn't end there ... amongst all of these trees there are only 10 or less that can produce what we call an energy fragment ..

energy fragments are like stones sometimes they come in rod shapes .. sucking the energy from these enhance one's intelligence by a large margin .. not only that .. but our physiques become more like our special abilities that make us who we are ..

.. I've liked the trip so far ..

no beasts to attack us no disturbance no nothing ...

and with all this learning I felt a little bit tipsy from the expedition ...

all the things here we're interesting .. and very worth learning ..

trees ... the different loamy soil .. with tiny fragments of diamond and palladium ... the climate change every hour ...

and most important of all .. the amazing ecosystem ..

the entire expedition was unique and very exciting ...

Anyways ... we then went inside ... the forest venturing in more deeper ...

and the more we approached the inner forest .. the more the air around had less oxygen ...

so far it had felt like I was the only one .. who noticed this .. or so I think ...

a few more steps .. and the oxygen became scarce .. without hesitation I took out an oxygen tank the size of my thumb ...

although it was only that small .. the amount of oxygen inside was the same as three large tanks of oxygen all packed together ..

a small thin silver thread went from the tank to my mouth .. creating a small mask that covered my nose and my mouth ..

and soon enough .. I could breathe again ..

I looked at my classmates and teacher Charles .. they weren't wearing masks ..

"Uhm .. Mr Charles .. why aren't you wearing any masks ..??" the students and Mr Charles looked at me .. and there ... I saw them with two flat circular objects sticking out from their noses .. but not that much ...

and from our Modig net .. these type of circular objects were used when there was no oxygen ..

I had two pairs my self ... there strange stretchy tube like vines that ran up one's nose down to our throat ..

oxygen would move into the nose ..and into our mouths ... infact the oxygen inside the two objects were five times better than the small oxygen tank I was using ..

and with this I was actually the one who noticed late that there wasn't enough oxygen .. since I was paying more attention to Mr Charles explainations and the expedition ..

I sighed and put my focus on the path ahead of us ...

the loamy soil from inside was much more shinier and filled with much more palladium and diamonds than from outside ..

and the ground was getting more and more rocky ... and the more we approached the inner part of the forest .. the more the oxygen depleted very fast .. making the space surrounding us have no oxygen .. completely ..

"We're almost there ..." Mr Charles suddenly said ..

I narrowed my eyes infront of us and I saw a little dot shining ..

and in an hour we arrived at the inner part ..

and this ... the entire heart of the forest was amazing .. magnificent ..

although this planet had long been discovered by our world travellers from our planet ..

the law stated that every planet should only be explored by students to experience new things ..

I stood there blankly looking at the tree towering over us ...

and unlike the trees from the foot of the forest ... this tree was beautiful in every way ...

the colours merged perfectly onto the bark of the giant tree ... and surrounded on every side was the soil .. it was filled to the brim with diamonds and palladium ..

infact you could say ... the heart of the forest had the special two minerals for the soil ...

one word to explain it ..???

Just Wow !!

and from the corner of my eye .. I saw a strange circle behind the tree ...

and since the teacher wasn't monitoring anyone anymore .. I walked up to the strange circle ..

and up close .. I noticed that it was twirling and shifting as if like it was struggling ...

that's when I recalled something from my memories ... this was an Ingress !!

an Ingress was a type of doorway leading to a far away planet or another solar system out there in the galaxy ..

safety precautions were taken when one was close to such an existence ..

because the destination was sometimes not accurate ... one could appear exactly in space or in another dimension like a parallel world like the one we were in ..

even so ... the dangers were unknown ...

after recalling all of the information .. I stepped back a little .. feeling a little bit relieved .. that I didn't take another step closer to it .. otherwise .. I could have been torn apart by the space rift inside ..

I sighed with a smile .. and looked around trying to look for Mr Charles to tell him about my amazing discovery ..

Doorways/ an ingress were too hard to find ..

infact from the Modig history ... only 4 doorways were found .. and only one has been fully explored and populated by our race .. and the other three were dangerous .. and the spacerifts weren't any simple normal space rifts .. these space rifts .. had destroyed ten warriors who were trying to venture into them ..

and the other doorways had given us only ideas ..

we didn't know where they had went to ..or where they had got thrown into .. we only came up with conclusions ...

and now that I've found an ingress .. I was happy .. I was going to be in the elite group of geniuses .. and my Prophetic ability could get enhanced ..

and right now I could imagine myself standing at the top and towering over the likes of Peter ...

this was my opportunity to be famous ..

and there I spotted him standing with the students as they took pictures of the weird hues in the air ..

wait .. hues!?

I suddenly took a turn ... and the ingress .. was twirling even more violently .. the air was getting sucked in at a rapid pace ..

and it seemed like the hue was causing this phenomenon ...

with all my strength I pushed my leg forward with utmost best .. one step ,two steps, three steps ... four steps ..

the more steps I took . the lesser the current got .. I heaved a sigh of relief .. and smiled in Mr Charles direction ...

without a second to lose I opened my mouth to shout out to him ..

suddenly in my sight .. a shadow of a hand appeared infront of me from behind me ..

I turned my head to look at the person .. however .. it was already too late .. the person pulled me straight towards the ingress ...

and like a ragdoll .. I flew at the doorway .. at an unfathomable speed ..

I kept rolling and twirling in the air until my movements suddenly came to a halt ..

the world moved slowly ... I could see the wind ... all of the hue in the air .. was the entrance ... and there infront of me .. 7 metres apart from me .. Peter .. sneered and looked at me devilishly ..

I couldn't believe it .. !! that psychotic smart nerd .. !!! he has got the robotic guts to pull me into the ingress ..

and after I got a glimpse of my backstabber ... my sight blackened .. and the ingress closed instantly ..

this was the day when the genius that appeared once every ten years disappeared ... right under my monitor's sight ..
