We will survive .
Xadia, Ivy, Jasmine, Tyson, and Jake found themselves falling through a dark void, their bodies tumbling uncontrollably. The rush of wind filled their ears as they plummeted towards an unknown destination. Panic set in as they desperately tried to make sense of their predicament.
Suddenly, the swirling blackness dissipated, and they crashed onto solid ground, limbs entangled in a chaotic mess. Groaning and disoriented, they slowly began to untangle themselves, their eyes opening to a world completely foreign to them. It was a dark, strange landscape, filled with trees they weren't really familiar with, and a sky painted with dark blood red hues they had never seen before, the night time of the planet.
The clouds in the sky was shaped in a particular way, like a crescent moon and star. And it looked as if the clouds were orbiting each other, like the Ying and Yang would.
The trees were also strange looking, almost like the one in Tyson's familiar's subconsciousness, but not quite. This one was alived, a blue butterfly like creature flew towards. It was a sight to see, until the tree's trunk split divided vertically and consumed the creature.
They looked to be in front of a forest, by the side of a hill, and a blue lake could be seen down the hill.
"Where are we?," Jasmine asked, positioning her eyeglass on her nose.
"I don't know". Ivy replied.
"What just happened?, your spell book it was vibrating, and you touched it, and it consumed your blood". Jake asked.
"I was trying to stop Tyson from touching it, I didn't know this would happen". Ivy explained.
"Is this Earth". Xadia asked.
"No it's not, the sky doesn't look like this in Earth, maybe a new planet".
"A planet?, there's not a planet like this in our solar system, not to mention this place it gives the creeps, you saw what that tree did to that beautiful creature. You're beautiful, it won't be long till it gets you". Jasmine blushed.
"Ellie would be worrying about me right now, I can't feel her energy because of the wonky energies around here, and I don't know why everyone else but me is panicking right now, have you all been in a situation like this". Tyson blurted
Ivy and Xadia glanced at each other. They had been in a situation like this. Well, not physical, but it was an experience similar to the sight of the place they were currently in.
"And this guy, I don't even know his name, but he's energy is a lot similar to the ones I can feel here, it's like someone staring into my soul when he looks at me". Tyson continued.
"You're pretty strong too, wanna duel after we get out of here". Jake asked.
"And he's so confident, how are you sure we're gonna get out of here". Tyson said pacing about.
"Calm down, we have an Emitter, that's something ". Jake said.
Ivy looked at the sky, ignoring the pestering ranting of Tyson. She didn't know what to feel, was she to feel regret that she managed to open the spell book she had been trying to open, it was a step forward to her goals, she couldn't be unhappy about that right.
Maybe it was just the fact that her friends were now in her mess. She didn't even know where they were, maybe inside the book. But that was just unrealistic, this was too much to be a limbo state, she was with people who were at least a little bit close to her, people after her mother.
"In the room, it sounded as if a spell was cast from the book, maybe you can cast the same spell and take us back". Jake asked Ivy.
"I can't, I haven't heard a spell like that before, and if I did it, there's a chance I'll be the only one who portals, I don't know why but this place is restricting my energy".
"That spell book, where did you get it, it didn't feel normal, that wasn't the first time I sensed an energy like that. If it's with you can I see it"
"It's not with me, it disappeared when the portal opened". Ivy replied.
"How's the book not normal". Jasmine asked
"I don't know, but the first time I saw it, it felt as if I was being drawn to it, like it was calling me. I felt pain, it was eerie and it's energy was dark". Xadia explained.
"You see just like him". Tyson pointed at Jake
"We need to focus on understanding our surroundings and finding a way back home, while you guys were sparking fairy tales, I figured out a way to get out of here"
"By my deduction, the reason or theory of you reversing the spell to take only you back to the school is because you need an outer energy source to transport all of us, and that would require a lot of energy owing to our size in numbers". Jasmine deduced
"I think I can scan the area for an energy source akin to this place, if we can find one, you'd be able to wish us out of here right".
"That would work, but how are we going to do that, there's no satellite here for scanning".
"Don't worry about that, I happen to have my own satellite. I made it myself, it runs on atmospheric conditions, we don't need to worry about network signals".
"I'll launch it to the sky and the scan will begin. It will take 12 hours, depending on the time that we're familiar with. The satellite we determine the planets time metrics and factorise it to ours". Jasmine concluded.
"I forgot how smart you are". Ivy smiled
"Huh, I can't see any satellite, you didn't bring it flower girl, she's Jasmine right?". Tyson
"I got Ivy to siphon my Holo watch, I have a dimensional space system". Jasmine smiled.
"Rune spell magic?".
"Yeah". Jasmine answered.
"Ivy can do that?, that would require a lot of concentration and energy". Tyson exclaimed.
"Yh, I don't know how she did it but she's pretty awesome". Ivy forced a smile.
"Plus she has two Siphon core". Jasmine said.
"How'd you know that, I didn't tell you, how, did, did Xadia tell you". Ivy looked to the ground.
"Xadia knows?, and he didn't tell me!". Tyson said.
"It was supposed to be a secret after all". Xadia said.
"It kinda hurts a little, you didn't trust me enough to tell me. In a way Xadia kinda revealed your secret, he told me to add energy signatures reading functions to my data glasses. You had a lot of heat signatures split in two places, one core only gives you one, So I figured". Jasmine explained.
A death stare ran an icy chill down Xadia's spine, and it was coming from Ivy.
"I didn't know?". Xadia raised his shoulders.
"I would have told you, but you were always busy inventing one thing or another". Ivy defended.
"I guess that's true, and the invention is kinda going to save our lives right now". Jasmine chuckled.
Jasmine then opened her watch's system Interface and began to type away, and after a few minutes she was done. She the pointed her watch to the ground and four laser rays began to design the air and the satellite materialized.
A laundry sized box could be seen, there were terminal lines on the box and they were all blue in color. She then pressed on a cubic button on the top of the box, it then began to transform, shaping itself into a rocket bird like design.
The lines then began to glow, and the satellite launched to the sky.
"We managed to solve one problem, but the other is still important where are we going to stay for the night". Jake asked.
"I have a solution for that too". Ivy answered.
She clicked on her watch while directing the laser lines to the ground. She then began to draw a circle on the floor with the lines. The circle was complete and metal like structure began to materialize from the ground, and it formed into a dome.
"It's like you're prepared for everything, no wonder you weren't scared, I trust that if we had no options to choose from, you would find a way to leave here". Tyson claimed.
"Of course, everything revolves around science,". Jasmine placed her index finger on her lips and chuckled.
"I don't know how long we're going to be here, but we will survive this, we're gonna get out of here". Xadia said.
The group fell into an uneasy silence, their expressions a mix of worry, and determination. Though tensions simmered, they knew that unity and collaboration were their only paths forward in this unfamiliar realm.
"I call dibs on who gets to choose the area he wants first," Tyson lightened the mood "We're gonna split the dome into four areas right?".
"Yes, but I made it, so I'm choosing first". Jasmine smirked.
"Huh, I miss my room already". Tyson ranted.
