Chapter 7:
The Dimension's Last Hope
The group heads outside and Viltro waves his hand and they teleport. They reappear in front of a giant building that says One United High on it. Outside was a person who approached them.
“Mr. Viltro I presume.”
“Yes, that's me.”
“Oh good we've been expecting you, the directors are all ready to have your interview.”
“Thank you”
“Please this way.”
The group walks in the building while the person talks.
“My name is Ms. Sunny and I'm the office lady here. I'll be giving you a tour as we walk. Here at One United High we have the best overall educational system and the best overall acceptance rate to the UDF. We have for 100 years and running has never once failed our students in achieving their dreams. Currently we have 11,340 people attending school so we're pretty full but the director said she would at least speak to you regarding your status as a UDF General Mr.Viltro.”
As they walked around Zero and the rest saw a huge gym and students playing basketball on one end and volleyball on the other the gym alone was already bigger than Viltro’s house. They saw the cafeteria which had all their favorites on the menu. Then they were shown the classes and each one had about ten to twenty students in them. They used very advanced technology as the students would learn from a 3D projection image they could all interact with from their desk not interfering with anyone else looking either. They are then brought upstairs all the way to the seventh floor of the building and shown where their class would be if accepted. Zero notices a boy spying on them but ignores it and they continue on heading back down to the first floor and are brought to a door and told the tour was over.
“Here we are, just in there are the principal and the teachers your kids would be involved with.”
The group opened the door inside the room. It had a huge oval table and there sat three people with three name tags. A man with wings had a nameplate that read Mr. Oracle. Next to him in the middle was a woman with the nameplate reading Ms. Barir. Next to her was a woman with a nameplate Ms. Daria.
“Hello, welcome to the orientation mr.Viltro. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”
“Thank you for having us.” Viltro bows his head in a polite gesture; he makes the others do so as well while he pushes Rykar’s head down with him.
“Ok so we'll ask you a few questions and you'll just have to answer them and then will decide if will accept you and your family. Ok first question, do you kids have any dreams?”
Rykar said, “I'm going to be an absolute king and rule over a dimension.”
“My dream is to study the unknown history,” Sierrna said.
“I want to grow up to be just like big bro.”
“Who's the big bro and why do you want to be like him?”
“Because he freed all the slaves.” Rhyunous points to Zero with envy for his big brother.
The council was shocked. Mr.Orcale gets up and takes a closer look at Zero.
“You mean you're the one who stood up to Fay a couple days ago.” “Yes I am. My name is Zero.”
“No last name?”
“Well-” Viltro cuts him off.
“Were the Dynosian’s.”
“Oh I see well you're very popular amongst the students right now Zero. They talk about you every period, every chance.”
“Oh really i'm sorry to have caused such a commotion in your school.” Zero bows down.
“Nonsense, It's good that there's still a person like you around that would stand up to a celestial, I'm glad.”
“Mr.Viltro we as a council would like to know Zero’s dream.”
“My dream is for everyone to be free.”
Hahaha the council laughed.
“That's a fine dream kid but it'll never happen unfortunately.” Said Mr. Oracle.
“Why wont it? Watch me I'll do it one day I'll free everyone.” Zero shouted. Ms.Daria spoke up.
“Good, we expect great things from you. Now the final test, let's see what your manipulation powers are.”
She pressed a button on the table and out from the center came a giant crystal encased in a device with a screen and a place to put your hand.
“Who would like to go first?”
“Heyo I'll go.”
Rykar rushes over and puts his hand on the handprint outline. It scans the crystal glows and the screen shows a raging fire.
“What is that?” A confused look on his face.
“Ok a fire manipulator.” Ms. Daria says while the others note it down on a piece of paper.
“What's that?”
“You don't know about manipulators, everyone can use some sort of power, you can use fire.”
“Ok my turn.” Sierrna went up to it. She rolled up her hoodie sleeves and put her hand on the outline. The screen flashed and the crystal glowed.
“It showed massive waves.”
“A water manipulator and by the looks of it an S class one at that.”
“S class?”
“It stands for spectacular. We have a ranking system for manipulators. Almost all the 3rd years are S-Class, some are A-class. The ranking system goes as follows: D is Decent, C is competent, B is Better, A is Amazing, S is Spectacular. There are 3 above that but no one has ever reached those classes in years. They are G-Class and it stands for Godly and then people who reach a certain level are then referred to as their own class or title.”
“Wow, I'm amazing.” Sierrna says with her fist in the air and a cheeky smile.
“No you're Spectacular.”
“Ok next up please”
Isha uses the machine it flashes so many things: A raging fire, a thunderous storm, A giant whirlpool and a tornado. The council is stunned. Mr. Oracle looks at the screen in wonder.
“She's a M-Class user that's been unheard of for years”
“Whats M-Class”
“It’s Master, it's right above Godly.”
“Why is it above?”
“Because it means you've mastered your original manipulation. You can learn another and by the looks of it she has mastered six different manipulations.”
“Wow Isha you're really cool” Zero said.
She Looks at Zero and gives him a smile.
“Of course I am. no one is more suited to be your spouse.”
“What?!” Zero’s face turns pure red.
“Ok Your turn Zero.”
Zero heads up to the device he puts his hand on it as he does he feels some weird energy flow through him. The crystal cracks. An energy wave can be felt throughout the room Viltro grabs Zero and pulls him away.
“Hopefully I was quick enough.”
Meanwhile somewhere in a different dimension two identical looking girls, one with orange hair and one with blue colored hair, are bowing down to the Judge. The Judge is holding someone in his arm by the throat. The person is begging the Judge to let him go. The judge looked at him.
“You did just try to assassinate me. Now that you're caught you wish for forgiveness to repent. It's too late now.”
Just before the judge can kill the man he feels a presence and energy. He drops the man and gives an evil smile.
“This energy you’ve been found, I'm coming for you now. Gam, Losa im leaving to head towards that energy Ill look for the other one later for now im heading to catch that one.”
The man judge let go bows and prays.
“Thank you, thank you.”
As the judge walks away. He raises his hand up a little bit.
“You are not forgiven.”
The man explodes into a blood cloud.
“I'm so glad I don't have to be up close and personal to do that. I'm tired of blood getting on my clothes.”
The judge leaves through a portal.
Back in Dimensia moments after the crystal cracked and the energy wave was sent out. The council decides if they will let the group into One United High despite the principal not being present.
“Mr.Viltro we have decided. We allow all of your kids into one untied high.”
“What was my rank?” Zero said.
“We have no idea your manipulation is too strong to be displayed, that's why the crystal broke.”
Woah the group says.
“Ok kids, let's go home.”
“What about me?” Rhyunos says while grabbing Viltro’s arm.
“Sorry young one. manipulations usually only can be found out once most people reach ten.”
Rhyunous looks very sad and upset. Ms Barir gets up and shakes Viltro’s hand.
“Before you leave Viltro. The principal would like to talk to you and Zero in private. The others can get their uniforms and they can all start today if that's ok with you?”
“Of course thank you for everything today.”
Viltro and Zero head out of the room and head to the principal office. They knock on the door and enter. There in the office chair is Fay. Zero and Viltro are shocked.
“Fay you're the principal?” Viltro said.
“Of course I told you I found an interest in Zero.”
“Fay, did you feel something a little ago?” Viltro wondered if she could feel the power and aura Zero gave off.
“No, why?”
“Nevermind they said you wanted to talk to us.”
“Yes, Zero. I would like you to try and unite the students. There's been a lot of fighting recently. I would like you to find a middle ground with them.”
“Ok sounds good, may I start.”
“Hold on take this” She threw him his hoodie.
“My hoodie, thank you.” Zero caught it and hugged it and put it on right away.
“Of course My guard gave it to me after the incident. You're in class 2-D. Enjoy.”
“Thank you.” Zero exits the room. Viltro talks to Fay.
“Fay, when did you say the Judge would be here?” He says in a very serious tone as he studies the way Fay moves and talks.
“Don't know we're supposed to have a summoning soon. I'll let you know then ok.”
“Alright, I'm heading home.” Viltro exits the room and leaves the school.
Zero heads upstairs and is about to enter his class when the door swings open and he knocks into a male student. He had black hair and a tan skin tone was the same height as Zero he wore the standard school uniform.
Whack!
They both fall to the ground. Zero gets up and apologizes.
“I'm so sorry here.” He extends his hand out and the kid grabs it.
“Yeah you should be.” The student looks up and sees Zero.
“Oh you must be Zero Dynosian.”
“Yeah, how do you know that?”
“Your siblings are in the same class as you. Everyone can't wait to meet you; neither could I. I was heading to come get you just now. Oh, I'm sorry my name is Vero Sophos. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you too, Vero.”
“Ok let's go meet the class. They can't wait.”
He opened the door.
“He's here everyone.”
Hello Zero the whole class said. A girl ran up to Zero. She was a tall girl and had hair in a bun, she had purple hair.
“My name is Val. Nice to meet you. I'm a poison manipulator A-Class.”
Another tough looking guy approached Zero. He looked like he was ripped and had short brown hair.
“My name is Arden. Nice to meet you. I'm an earth manipulator S-Class.”
Again another girl appeared. She was a little shorter than the others and had blonde hair. She also wasn't looking at the right person when speaking to Zero.
“My name is Melody and I'm a Lightning Manipulator S-Class.”
“Hi, nice to meet you all.”
“Alright break it up” Sierrna approached.
“Give him space, class starts soon.”
“Wait, what's your rank and manipulation?” Vero asked the others eager to hear and all listened very intensely.
“I don't know. they said it was too strong to be determined.”
“Wow you mean your and unknown rank, that's so cool.”
“Hey Vero, what's your Manipulation?”
“Oh I thought you would never ask, I'm a S-Class Shadow manipulator.”
“Oh the same rank as Sierrna.”
“Oh really she didn't tell us her rank.”
“Oh my bad.” Zero gives a concerning look at Sierrna.
“It's ok Zero.” Sierrna said. While giving an evil non-reassuring smirk.
Right after that the teacher entered.
“Everyone in their seats, let's get started right away.”
All the students headed to their seats. Zero was in the back next to Vero.
“Hello class. Im Ms. Barir Today will be learning of the celestials and their powers. Ok let's get started. She clicks a button on her desk and a holo screen appears. First up Is the ranking system the celestial emissary uses. The system goes Apostle, Celestial and then Grand celestial the higher the rank the stronger they are. First up is the lower tier celestials. Let's start with our own Fay the Enslaver Her brutal nature and tactics using Shadow Manipulation landed her the title of Celestial Nine years ago, The screen prompt showed a picture of Fay. Next up Is Gam, she is a Lava Manipulator. Next is her sister Losa She is an Ice Manipulator. Both of them share the title Celestial, There is no pictures of them. Next up is Loki is a Mind Manipulator He oversees the Angels, there are also no pictures of him. Next is Vecanas He is stated to be able to travel to an alternate world his manipulation is unknown, the picture we have is of just his silhouette. Zero looked at the silhouette and it only made him feel uneasy. Finally for lower tier ones the last one is Animanusa her power is soul manipulation. The picture showed a woman with her entire body wrapped in rusted steel chains. Now for the Grand celestials first up is Yamanta the white flame he is the king of the dragonic kind, His manipulations are as follows water, lighting and wind. Yamanta’s Picture showed him having a horn through his eye and a strong scaly body. Next is Warhammer he has no manipulation but is extremely strong and immortal. Warhammer’s picture was just a suit of armor. Next is Jeremiah the Judge. He has every known manipulation that we know off but he specializes in Gravity manipulation he is stated to be the strongest of them all only second to thanatos. There were no pictures of the Judge. And the last of the Grand Celestials Demorshia the all knowing her Manipulations are unknown but her knowledge is endless she's considered an omnisense being. Her picture was just a statue of her. Finally the final one King Thanatos he is the leader of the celestial emissary and is known as one thing to everyone in the dimensions he is known as God.” Zero raises his hand.
“Yes Zero”
“What are the apostles for? You mentioned them but didn't say anything.”
“Oh i'm sorry we went over apostles yesterday, would anyone like to fill Zero in on apostles?” Val raises her hand.
“Yes go ahead Val”
“They are a replacement unit for celestials. Every celestial has one in case of one dying or leaving the emissary and they worship their celestial like a god.”
Ding Dong
“That's the bell ok everyone that's it for today. That will be on the test.”
Vero pokes at Zero.
“Hey Zero, you want to hangout?”
“What's that?” Zero asked.
“Really it's what friends do.” Vero's response shocked Zero.
“Were friends?” Zero asked.
“Well yeah dummy.” Vero responded while being deeply hurt.
“Oh I'm sorry I'm new to this.” Zero said.
“It's ok.”
Isha approaches Zero.
“We have to head home after school to talk to dad, remember?”
“Oh yeah sorry Vero.”
“It's ok, next time alright.”
Zero and Isha head out of the class and outside the school. The rest of the crew is waiting for them. Viltro is there also. They approach.
“Ok teleport.”
Viltro raises his hand and they vanish. Inside the school Vero heads to Fay's office.
“Hello Fay.”
“Hello Vero, what brings you here?”
“I tried hanging out with Zero but he was busy.”
“Oh you tried to hangout with someone? You don't usually do that.”
Fay was very intrigued by this.
“Yeah, well I feel like me and him have a lot in common.”
“I see. That's good you're trying Vero.”
“Yeah well I'm heading home so i'll see you later.”
“Goodbye Vero.”
Back with the group they arrive at the house.
“Ok, let's all go eat some dinner and head to bed.”
The group heads to the dining room and they sit down. Isha and Sierrna sit next to Zero on each side.
“Ok so how was everyone's first day?”
“It was cool we learned about the celestial emissary.” Rhyunous said. “They seem really cool, especially the Warhammer they say he's immortal.”
Viltro chokes on his drink by rhyunous saying that he coughs.
“Oh really now that's interesting.”
“Yeah it was really cool to learn about manipulations too.” Rykar said.
“Well I made a new friend today.” Zero said.
“Oh really, who was it Zero?” Viltro asked.
“His name is Vero. He's really cool, he's a shadow manipulator.” Viltro looked a little worried.
“Oh really that's interesting.” Viltro looked like he was thinking.
“Did he tell you his last name?”
“Yeah, it's Sophos.”
“I wonder?” Viltro accidentally said out loud.
“Wonder what?” Zero asked.
“Oh nothing, the important thing is you all had fun today. Alright when you're done eating go get in bed ok?”
Rhyunous finished first and walked up to Viltro. He stood there for a while.
“What's up little man?”
“Thank you for everything. But I had a question.”
“What is it?”
“Can I call you dad?”
Viltro, shocked by the sentence, grew a smile they had never seen before.
“Of course you can.”
Rhyunous ran to give Viltro a hug; it lasted a while.
“I promise I'll protect you.”
“Thank you for adopting me.”
“I'll never accept you as my father and you know why.”
“Heyo I've always considered you a guardian but I'm sorry you'll never be my dad.”
“Sorry, but I am the same as my brother.”
“Viltro?”
“Yeah Zero?”
“I've never knew my parents, you're the only one who's been there so I'll always consider you my dad but please give me time and them to warm up to it.” Viltro smiled
“I do care for you all like my children so it's ok just know I'd do anything to save you guys. Ok well i'm getting tired night. Goodnight Zero, Isha, Sierrna, Rykar and Rhyunous.”
“Night” Only Zero and Rhyunous said that the others just went to their rooms.
Somewhere in Fay’s Mansion a summoning was happening. Fay entered her room there in the room was a holo of Judge.
“Hello Judge, what displeasure do I owe you.”
“Hello Fay I heard and saw what happened earlier someone survived Two hundred and sixteen lashes of your whip. Were you holding back?”
“No you know I wouldn't.”
“Right, because you’d never lie to us. Just remember we can replace you whenever we want.”
“Yes I know you've made that very clear. Now why did you summon me?”
“I'll be arriving in a year's time.”
“Why?”
“I have some business I've been looking for someone. Also Warhammer will accompany me and have your best soldiers to meet us at the bridge.”
“Yes of course Judge it'll be done.”
“I'll see you soon Fay.”
The holo turns off. Fay thinks to herself this isn't good he's coming. In the corner of the room a shadow can be seen hiding.
