"Ok team." ChrisPx started the morning briefing; "About half of Organization XII is going to a place called Castle Oblivion in a couple days. That gives us enough time to send some people there find out what they are doing, set up some cams on each floor, and get out. The people who are going are as follows: Lerxty, Newarxd, Ukxel, and myself. Kixcn, Oulixia, you two are going on scope out a new world called...um, Wonderland. Remember the drill, get in, look around, make observations, and get out."
"Calm down general!" RisXch replied, coming up behind him and putting his hand on his shoulder, "and I will stay and guard the base. The C.O. team will take about 2 or 3 days. Move Out!"
"Yes!" Lerxty exclaimed, "Finally an important mission that RisXch isn't on!"
"I heard that!" RisXch yelled back, looking over his shoulder.
"Come on, ChrisPx!" Newarxd called, "The faster we get this done, the faster we can come back and bother RisXch about it!"
"Calm down general!" RisXch replied, coming up behind him and putting his hand on his shoulder, "and I will stay and guard the base. The C.O. team will take about 2 or 3 days. Move Out!"
"Yes!" Lerxty exclaimed, "Finally an important mission that RisXch isn't on!"
"I heard that!" RisXch yelled back, looking over his shoulder.
"Come on, ChrisPx!" Newarxd called, "The faster we get this done, the faster we can come back and bother RisXch about it!"
"Still can hear you!" RisXch yelled back.
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO!" Newarxd called back.
"Ok" ChrisPx said, "I've got the cameras! Let's get the hoverbikes and go!"
"Here we go!!!!!!!" Ukxel exclaimed, jumping on his bike and taking off, kicking up dirt, and making me sneeze.
"You 2 better go on your mission as well!" RisXch told Kixcn and me. "Report back when you’re done…” he looked around and lowered his voice, “ then we can go for some ice cream!"
"You got it!" Kixcn, and I nodded as we hopped on our hover bikes.
There was that great feeling again. The space through my hair like the breeze off the ocean, making me feel, well, alive again. Then my brother and I came into view of the world called ‘Wonderland’.
We touched down on a little outcropping, right in front a tiny rabbit hole.
“Hm,” I muttered, “so this is the magical ‘Wonderland’, huh?”
“Doesn’t look like there’s much here, sis.” Kixcn replied, “ Might as well go ba…”
“Wait…” I held him back with my hand. “There’s something not right here. Why did we land right in front of this rabbit hole…hm?”
I bent down to look inside. Nothing. Just thick, black, darkness. I crawled in a little deeper…and met nothing but air…and darkness. Again.
I yelped when I fell down the rabbit hole. I didn’t even want to open my eyes, but I knew I had to or I’d land on my face. When I opened my eyes, I couldn’t believe them. All around me swirled grandfather clocks, chairs, a bed or two, anything you would usually find in a regular house. I had a hard time staying upright, constantly turning head over heels. I had a good time, feeling the sensation of total weightless descent.
I touched down and let out my breath: I had been holding the whole time.
“Ooouuuliiixiiiaaa!” I heard my name echo from above, “aaaaare yooouuu oookaaay?”
“Yeah! I’m fine! Jump down!”
“WHAAAAAT?! HAVE YOU LANDED ON YOUR HEAD?!”
I sighed in frustration. “Trust me. YOU’LL BE FINE!”
My brother didn’t answer back for a long time. I got up to look around, wandering to the bizarre walls of the long hallway we were in.
“Oof!” a loud thump resounded from the room I landed in.
I ran back to see my brother in a heap on the floor.
“Mmmmhph…” he groaned. Apparently he forgot to land on his feet.
I helped him up.
“Dude. Next time, land on your feet.”
