THE DAWN OF NEW EARTH (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 5: The Greater Blades

7:15 p.m.
CRIS' BEDROOM

"What the, how did I manage to fit this into my bag?" Cris wondered as he pulled a laser gunblade in his bag. He examined it on how it fits in his bag, not realizing that it is a foldable gunblade with three modes. He slept at early 8:00 p.m. , while thinking who placed the gunblade in his bag.

*after a week of studying*
JUNE 20, 3174

"Hey guys, mind If we go out tonight? I kind of feel like hanging out and bonding and stuff, because friendship goals. " suggested Cris, who is exponentially bored from the weekly training and classes session. "Sure, why not? We all need to take a break somehow." Drew mentioned as he noticed something protruding out of Cris' backpack. "What is that?" Layla asked. "Oh, it's my new gunsword I got from the lab." Cris replied. Mr. Baker gave it to him while at the lab. And he was also secretly training at the lab without his friends even noticing. "Come on, we have some sparring practice later at the lab." Drew suggested.

12:00 p.m.
MR. BAKERS LAB

"Ok class, we have sparring lessons today. First, we gotta remember the basic strategies on dodging sword or gun blows.We gotta trust our instincts in order to Dodge a bulkier or sword blow properly. You must.....

1 hour of sparring later..

"OK class, that's all you need to remember about sparring and dodging and getting perfect sword blows and gun shots to obliterate your opponent. "Mr. Baker said as he finished teaching the class. "Now for some real action. "

The gang started practicing their moved on some holograms while Cris is having some trouble while fighting 3 holograms at once. "You gotta stay focus while battling three opponents at once." Mr. Baker advised while cris suddenly replied "how could I finish three opponents at once while I couldn't focus on what's happening around me? " "Remember to stay focused no matter what happens. Trust your instincts to achieve your goals. " Mr. Baker said while Cris killed all of the 3 holograms at once. "I did it!" Cris replied while he noticed that there are no more holograms spawning at the training grounds." I guess there are no more holograms to fight?" Drew said while the holograms are disintegrating into thin air. "All of you have a pop quiz in your next subject. Good bye. " Mr. Baker said while finding the nearest charging station.

2:50 p.m.
MRS. CRESS CLASSROOM

"Okay class, I hope you are ready for the pop quiz. Have good luck." Mrs. Cress said as she distributes papers to the students. *ugh, pop quizzes are boring, but at least I studied last night.* Cris thought as he aced the test in under 15 minutes. "Done"he said as he handed out the paper the same time as Rose did. "Sorry" Cris muttered as he apologized for his mistake. "See you at dinner at the town square." They both muttered as they both exited the room, realizing that it was already RECESS.

"The test was a blast, I aced it under 20 minutes." Gio arrogantly said while at the lunch table. "We must study hard because there is a group project in math, where you get to make your own math board game." Relle suggested while browsing her math book." "That must be exciting, but for now we must all be one group, as it must be less than 10 members." Gianne recommended. "We must be grateful that we ended up finding each other in the right place and being friends for a while." Cris mentioned while he ate his sandwich. "See you all later at town's square mall." Cris added while Layla had a better plan. "Why don't we go there at the same time? You know, to avoid not keeping track of each other? You know what I mean." Layla recommended. "THAT'S SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA!" everyone shouted while a teacher noticed them. "Hey keep it down, okay? Where trying to eat here." A teacher randomly said.

4:50 p.m.
TOWNS SQUARE MALL

"We finally made it! What do we do now?" Gio asked impatiently. "We should split up I guess?" Relle requested as she started to go with the girls at the dresses aisle at the supermarket. "Come on, girls, let's have some fun shopping." Relle said as she went off to the dresses aisle. "How about us, guys? Aren't we having some fun too?" Drew asked as he and the guys are starting to form a plan. "Let's go to the arcade then!" Paul then said with glee as they headed off to the nearest arcade café in the mall.

Meanwhile, in the girls' POV, they are having problems while testing out new clothing ." Do I look good? " asked Rose while testing it her new outfit at her dressing room.

"It looks great, but you know what is great?"Gianne suggested, but is later stopped by Layla and Relle by saying "It looks great to her." "Thank you guys, but you have to buy something for yourselves, too." Rose suggested and they did what she said. 30 minutes later, they now paid the cashier with some money on their wallets. Rose ended up buying the supposed ranger style uniform for training purposes, while Layla ended up buying a pair of flying sneakers and a mecha handbag. Relle bought a bag with a free makeup kit and a t shirt-crop top. Gianne, being the richest girl, ended up buying a whole winter fashion set.

The guys, on the other hand, has spent their 30 minutes on the arcade. The arcade was ginormous in size compared to other arcades, as they saw teens their age wandering sound the arcade. The arcade uses cards with money being transmitted inside
Of the card. Somehow, Paul, being the forgetful one, forgot his card at home, being it a VIP card. So for good sake, Drew, as the kind hearted one of the group, let Paul play using his card. They all have fun spending time with classic arcade games like shooters, DDR, claw machines and the classics as they eventually got tired and turned in their arcade card points and exchanged it for gift items. Cris turned in his arcade points to a nerf gun and a t shirt and baseball cap. Drew turned in his points to a customized pull-in string bag and a nerf rifle. Paul turned in his to a magic set and a mechanical soda can.
Gio, being the intense arcader, traded in his points to a next-gen flat screen laptop and an animal speech translation device. They all got so tired they all agreed to a resting place. A fast food restaurant called McDonalds, which apparently survived for generations and thousands of years that it essentially became part of human history.

After eating at McDonald's they apparently got outside and found a stray yet perfectly fine looking kitten that apparently got abandoned by its previous owner due to the hand marks in its fur. "Should we keep him?" Cris asked out of nowhere. "It doesn't have rabies, as it doesn't have any fur falling out of its body" Relle said as she examined the kitten using her pet scanner. "Should I keep it?" Gianne asked if she could take care of it. "No, I think Gio can take much better care of the kitten." Rose said as the kitten suddenly wanted to leap to cuddle Gio "Me? I could barely take care of a fish!" Gio said as the cat snuggled at his shoulders. "I think our likes you now. And I think a cat suits you better." Cris said as they both parted ways at the train station. "Bye guys! Have a good day tomorrow! "Cris said as he parted ways with his group."

While Cris is taking the train to go home, Gio had a great idea. He named his cat MeiMei. He knew that wasn't any cutter so he placed the animal speech hearing aid-like translation device to the ear of his cat. "Hi humans, I am MeiMei, a cat that can talk due to My owner, Gio's hearing device. How nice to meet you." The group was both shocked and terrified and happy crying at the same time.
