Today's the day

The day we go on our first mission.

A recon mission to find out anything we can about the memorisutīrā.

I was excited, and so was everyone on my squad. I could tell by the constant tapping of feet and the biting of nails I was made to witness. Brittney had cut her leg thrice since morning because she "needed the pain to deal with the weird thing happening in her stomach".

"What if I fail?" Nick asked, pulling a chair to sit beside me. Argenta, Yara, Nick and I were currently sitting in the dining hall, and, thankfully, that demon of a punishment of eating just salads was over. So we were back to food.

"If we fail, we fail as a team, and we deal with it like a team, ok? You're not alone," I said.

He nodded and started eating his food.

"GUYS! WE NEED TO GET GOING! TWELVE MINUTES TILL REPORTING TIME!" Yara yelled at all of us.

"Let us eat, dammit!" Cupcake said with a mouth full of, you guessed it, cupcake.

Soo cute!

"Heyy, Cupcake! That was rude!" I teased; I knew she hadn't slept much the night before because she was preparing for the mission, so I had expected the irritableness.

"Vaffanculo, bel viso," She glared at me.

"Ha! Please do; I'm sure he'd love that," Nick scoffed and chuckled.

"Ow!" Nick yelled suddenly, and I knew it was because he got kicked from underneath the table, judging from cupcake's tightened jaw and challenging glare.

"Oh dear god! Stop eating, you fools!" Yara whined, and cupcake's irises moved in her direction lightning fast while her neck didn't move at all.

Uh oh.

"Yara!" I yelled before cupcake could murder the cupcake in her hand or Yara, "I'll come with you, let these two eat. They'll join us in a few,"

"Mhmm," She said hurriedly and started moving. Yeah, she was also well aware of the trouble she was in.

Crisis and possible murder averted

Score!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we left for Mr Daniel's office, we weren't expecting to see a market.

Yes, a market in an office. Looked even weirder than it sounds, trust me.

"What the hell?" Yara gaped at the market.

"That's a hologram of the Ravadyn market," Jax cleared.

"Oh," Yara and I said simultaneously.

"Hey, Jax," I said.

"Yeah?"

"You'll need to go and get Cupcake and Nick. They were still eating; there's no way they can reach in," I checked my watch, "forty-five seconds,"

"Are you sure they haven't left?"

"No... Willia!"

"What's up?" She said.

"What is Cupcake thinking right now?"

"Gimme a second," she said before closing her eyes and furrowing her brows, "Delicious! Maybe I should get another one..."

"Yup, definitely still at the dining hall," I chuckled.

"I'll get them," He chortled before disappearing.

"Come here, Armada," Mr Daniel called out.

"I'm just going to take a roll call," Ms Lily announced, "Adam,"

"Here,"

"Argenta,"

"Here!" She exclaimed as she caught her balance. Travelling with Jax is not the smoothest experience. When he teleports, his cells change both their space and time. It is almost like time travel. He creates worm-holes in the space-time continuum, and when in the worm-hole, you're travelling at a speed of 299,792 kilometres per second (186,282 miles per second). So you can see why someone would want to regain their balance after such a trip.

I tried to look for Nick only to find the idiot puking his guts out.

"Woah, easy there, bud," I chuckled as I rubbed his back.

"Thanks," He croaked, "I'm never travelling with you ever again," he pointed at Jax.

"Hey! I just saved your sorry ass; you should thank me," Jax shot back.

"Ha!" Nick scoffed, which earned him a glare from Jax.

"Pay attention, all of you," Mr Daniel shouted.

"You have to go to the Ravadyn market," Ms Lily started explaining our mission.

"Once you reach, find Timothy," Mr Daniel added, "We've sent you a picture of his,"

"Timothy is- was our informer. He had been an undercover agent for almost five years. But after we killed off the last memorisutīrā three years ago, he retired," Ms Lily exhaled.

"All you need to do is find him and ask him whatever he knows about Jared, the memorisutīrā that you all saw,"

"How do we get there?" Yara asked.

"You'll have to figure that out for yourselves," Mr Daniel answered.

"Pack your bags! You're going on a mission!" Ms Lily exclaimed.

I swear to gods, she was more excited about our mission than we were.

"And remember, you just have three days to complete the mission!"

Like we wanted to be reminded of that!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After we had packed our bags, we were supposed to gather at the main gate of Gladys.

When Nick and I reached, we found Cupcake, Reyna, Jax and Adam waiting there.

"-oh please," Argenta was saying when I got within hearing range of their conversation.

"Have you seen the way you look at hi-" Adam was interrupted by a slight jab to his ribs by Jax.

"What are y'all talking about?" I asked.

"Football,"

"Chocolate,"

"Life,"

"Garbage dumps," They all said simultaneously.

"...ookayyy," I trailed, "Nothing suspicious about that,"

"We were initially talking about chocolate and how it's a blessing for the people to walk our planet; then Adam here pointed out that football is also a blessing; then we started talking about just blessings in general, and then Reyna said that our life is also a blessing, so we started talking about life, and then I said that... um... sometimes... garbage dumps... smell," Cupcake rambled.

"Sometimes?" I asked.

"Really? That's what you ask? Like everything else that she said made total fucking sense?" Nick taunted in disbelief.

"Of all people, you don't get to say that," I retorted.

"Oh really?"

"You talked about how scientists discovered an organism with a disappearing butt for two hours straight; just last night," I snickered.

"You what?" Reyna sniggered whilst gaping at Nick.

"It is an interesting fact!" Nick defended, "The comb jelly—also known as the warty comb jelly, sea walnut, or Mnemiopsis leidyi—has a disappearing butt. It is not visible when the animal is not pooping,"

"Most facts usually last a few seconds," I chuckled, and so did the others.

"Shut up," Nick rolled his eyes, "I am an interesting guy, and my words of wisdom will help you a lot one day,"

"Are we ready to leave, peasants?" Cleo hollered as he, Willia, Yara and Brittney approached us.

"Almost," Argenta said, "Let me give you your new personalities,"

"Oooooh, who am I?" Yara asked.

"You helped me come up with the identities!" Argenta exhaled.

"Yeah, I know! But it's more fun this way!"

She's so weird!

"K, here are your identities," Argenta said as she distributed white sheets covered in blue ink, "I have written your whole life story, your likes, dislikes, dreams, goals, weird experiences, behaviour, achievements and whatnot,"

Mine said:

Name: Ajax Carter

Age: 17 yrs

.

.

.

Girlfriend: Olivia Sparks

"Who's Olivia?" I asked cupcake.

"Me," She shrugged.

What the-

Hold up-

"Whattttt," I blurted out before I could control it.

"Why, want someone else? I can switch with-"

"NOO!" I yelled, startling her.

Curse you, mouth!

"I mean," I cleared my throat, "No, there's no need to switch; I'll try to put up with you,"

I tried my best to sound nonchalant and like I didn't want it, but only I knew I was just one heartbeat away from going into cardiac arrest.

Well, maybe not the only one; I could practically hear the smirks and the scoffs that erupted when I said that.

"BUBBLY PERSONALITY?!" Brittney hollered, giving rise to goosebumps on my hands and effectively preventing any medical emergency I might have had.

"Sort it out with Yara; it was her idea," Argenta chuckled.

"Way to throw me under the bus!" Yara gasped and slapped Cupcake's arm.

"Ookay, listen up, everyone," Argenta said, trying hard to stop herself from laughing, "We're going to be divided into three groups. You already have the names of your group members on the sheet. We're all tourists, so act lost and overwhelmed, got it?"

We nodded and left for the respective cars that we were going to spend our next thirteen hours in.

Ravadyn, here we come!
