Chapter 39
Fishlegs Pov:
I am working on closing up shop in the evening when the doorbell rings and Gobber comes in. "What can I do for you Gobber?," I ask.
"Well, Stoick asked me to talk to you about that deal you told us about," Gobber informs me.
"Well, a problem came up," I reveal.
"What sorta problem?," Gobber asks.
"Turns out my boss was using his brothers system. I can tell you what happened, but they said they would fire me if I told Stoick," I inform him.
"About what?," Gobber says, not liking where this is going.
"I sorta ran into the Beta testers for it, the CEO of the company, my shotgun getting shot out of my hand and a shot next to my head, they knew I was a VCT, the CEO's brother is one of those sky divers from over 3 years ago, and the fact that there was someone else sent to watch over the new kids in Berk high," I reveal.
"Wait wait wait, you ran into beta testers for a OS that wasn't even planned to be released, you got shot at, they knew you were a VCT, you met your boss who created the company and no-one has ever seen and some doubt he is even an actual person and not just an alias, but he is also the brother of either Jake and Emma, or Hannah, and what do you mean there was someone else sent to watch over the kids?," Gobber asks me. He means he doesn't know.
"Yes, I ran into Beta testers, I was shot, they knew I was VCT, I did meet my boss, they then said that there was someone else watching out for them, but I don't know what you mean by being a brother of whoever those three are," I tell him.
"What exactly did he say about the CEO, and who created the OS?," Gobber asks me.
"The CEO said his brother had created the flight suits, and that his brother also created the OS and was one of those in the flight suits," I inform him.
"That makes no sense," Gobber tells me.
"Why?," I ask.
"The creator of the flight suits is my apprentice. The creator of the OS from what you are saying is most likely his friend. There were only two in the house that exploded that were brothers. But he has never been seen since that incident, in fact he had a burn on his back and fell into an impenetrable canopy of trees, at over 40 MPH," Gobber informs me.
"That speed they would have their limbs torn from them if they hit anything," I reply.
"Indeed, the others went missing and there is no clue on where they went. They just disappeared from the air, still don't know how they did it. So, back to topic, the deal fell through, as for that other person, I have a guess on who it could be but I am not sure," Gobber reveals.
"Who?," I ask.
"One of the people who helped them get away had a trainee. We know he is back but he hasn't made it known other than a code he put in this morning due to the excess patrol boats. That trainee could be it, but we don't know anything about them, their name, gender, height, characteristics, nothing," Gobber tells me.
"I see, that could be a problem. Well, if you will excuse me, I have to close up shop for the night," I tell him.
"Right, I probably got in the way. Well, good night now," Gobber tells me as he leaves.
Narrator Pov:
The days before school go by mostly uneventfully. Finally it is the first day of school.
"All students please report to the auditorium for the beginning of the school year Proclamation," The announcement system says to the entire Campus.
With that, everyone leaves heading for the mountain. This year, due to the new school, they don't meet on the side of the cliff overlooking the sea. They have their own auditorium focused on the top of the mountain in an arena like area like the old spot.
Students are free to sit wherever as long as they don't cause problems. Though, top of the year students and such are forced to sit in the front row seating. That caused some problems for second rowers due to the towering nature of Jake and Emma.
"Welcome to Berk High. As you may know this year we have a brand new campus built inside this mountain we are currently situated on top of. Students dorm, where they were situated, were based on their grades. If they had good grades, they were in a higher number room, if they had bad grades, they were in a lower number room. But it could also be said that students with high level grades had first pick of their rooms and those with lower had less pick. Though they would need to sign up with a group or just say they are open to anyone if they didn't meet the room requirements," Old Olaf said.
"If you have yet to get a dorm, you can see if there are any vacancies down at administration. Though that is highly unlikely and this will only be available for the next week. If we have students coming in the middle of the year from off island, we will look for vacancies for them, alert the dorm, and more. We want everyone to be aware of what is happening so they are not caught off guard," He continues.
"Now, those in dorm 101 are the lowest graded students. Those in dorm 400 are the highest graded students. The leader of those students will come up here and give a speech on this school year. Of course they did not know this of course. Now we have multiple top scorers, though some already knew about this so we could not give it to them, but they will still say a speech after the first person. Will Eugene Lionheart please come up to the stand to give his speech. After that we will have the person I just talked about who is also the head of the disciplinary committee, then the student council president," Old Olaf finishes.
