Aftermath

Stage 5

It keeps piling up. The students went in and out of the infirmary. They all said the same thing.

“A girl with dead black eyes appeared in the hall.” The staff tried to look through the surveillance. The footage was only wavy static with distorted audio. They couldn’t figure it out. The equipment was all new and hadn’t been tampered with. The sightings only got worse.

The pilots complained about their monitors didn’t work properly.

“I keep hearing this low growling noise,” Teela said at the beginning of the second day. The partners couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Leena complained to hear a voice on one recording. Her boyfriend heard the same thing.

“What did it say?” Rio asked. Gareas didn’t speak at first. He looked the other pilot in the eye.

“It didn’t make sense,” he said. “The voice was too jumbled up and too low. My head began to hurt afterwards.” Pretty soon, he wasn’t the only one to hear the voice. It would take hours to decode the message.

Here’s what it said.

Stage 6

“I can see you. I know you are there. I am coming for you.”

This is where the report ends for the most part. It is rumored that there is more. The academy is claiming that those files are lost or destroyed. Who was that ghost that Zero saw before he blacked out? What did it want from the students and pilots?

One thing is for certain: they will have to fight another enemy now.
