Chapter 294: Beginning of a new Chapter (1/2)

Moby's figure stepped in those automatic scanning doors with a contrasting expression, a deep smile yet with watery eyes.

He looked up to see the entire inside of the building. It was much smaller than he expected yet far more futuristic-looking with all the robots and the electrical flowing designs on the walls and floors.

There, in front of one of the desks in the distance, he saw Ryker and HikariYami waiting in line behind one of the reception desks.

There, he once again took a deep breath and steeled his resolve. From here on out, there was no looking back, there was only moving forward.

He wiped the tears from his eyes and brought his face back into a natural position before jogging towards the other two that were supposed to be with him. And, by the time he arrived, it seemed like Ryker had already finished all that was necessary.

”Okay, We're all set. Let's go, follow me,”

There, as they walked through the wide, expansive hallways of the white and blue building, he heard nothing but the sound of footsteps, light whispers and machinery scanning. He finally had time to clear his mind, ponder and think to himself. And, as he let his mind drift, it landed back on Abby's words that at first made him smile yet on further inspection, made him slightly nervous about one line.

'I love you…'

His mellow eyes immediately shot out wide. What if Jayden misunderstood what she meant by that?! What if she now thought that every time he went to see Abby, it was not to talk, but for s…

He was too much in shock to even finish that thought. Instinctively, he tried to open a mind-link with her to clear the potential misunderstanding. Although he knew it would be a rather awkward conversation after the heartfelt goodbyes they had, he still felt it necessary.

Yet, when he tried to do it, it would not work… There seemed to be anti communication crystals in the building. That was when he tried a trick up his sleeve that might work… He tried to open a small dimensional shift, that was usually solely meant for teleportation, and use it to send his mind-link through to a marked location outside, yet, it also seemed like dimensional magic and abilities were either severely weakened or disabled within the building.

Reaching her was impossible it seemed… He once again took a deep breath to calm himself down, and just hope he can establish contact soon enough and that Abby in her state would be sensible enough to clear up the misunderstanding.

But, would that even be possible? If this base had this much security, he imagined the school might be even worse…

The hallways around him seemed more like a maze or a labyrinth. Nearly everything looked the same and the only distinguishing features were room numbers and hallway numbers.

And, after walking for about five minutes, they finally reached the main area of the building and the silence was immediately replaced by chatter. The sight gave him flashbacks of the teleporter hub tower; robots, transport rails, and teleporters were as far as the eye could see, there were even restaurants on the side for soldiers to eat and converse, various gates on all the floors that were clearly seen since this middle section of the building possessed no roof to be heard of.

Yet, there seemed to be no time to fully admire the grandeur of the building as Ryker followed a certain path to a teleporter that led him to one of the top floors, getting noticed and saluted by his fellow soldiers along the way almost like a celebrity.

'Floor 52…'

It was one of the top floors, and it was a known fact that the higher one went, the more important it was meant to be.

It was a floor reserved for elite school teleportation and rarely used after all.

The entire floor was blank, other than one, massive hallway that most likely led to the teleporters, and that was exactly where they went.

The hallway was dark, lit by dim blue lights. They began to hear frail beeping sounds with slight tingles on their skin that seemed to do nothing. It felt like it spanned forever, but, for some reason, as soon as it started, they already found themselves at the exit.
