~Jay Freda, Class of 2026

Running through the woods almost out of breath running from a monster called a steer, this was most certainly the scariest night of my life. I’m 99% sure you don’t understand what’s happening right now so let’s rewind. It’s the year 2010 the first prototype of a Time Machine was created but the very second it was semi functional a blast of radiation called dark matter raced through my town called Finnichting, Canada. My class was on a field trip into the lab called Radiator Labs. The dark matter wave sent everyone flying back and from what I heard we were all rushed to a secret hospital called supernatural hospital. 

When I woke up I felt really weak but when I stood up I felt better almost immediately. That’s when I started to look around I realized that I was in a hospital. Then I saw my parents, they almost looked transparent. They were saying something but it didn’t sound like anything. 

They were mouthing “We love you.” Then they vanished. 

I thought nothing of it and went outside the room I was in and the rest of the hospital looked deserted. I went in, I looked back at my door and it now said my name, Zachary Felx. I looked around and it didn’t look like Finnichting hospital at all. I remember what it looked like because I was here before when I broke my leg. I went into another room and found my best friend Jacob. I lifted the blanket off him and what I saw was really weird. His legs were like robots, all square and stuff like that. Then a nurse came in. 

“Ah Mr Flex you’re awake, how amazing!” she said. 

“Where am I? I asked” she responded, “It’s not where you are but when you are.” Her words sent chills down my spine. 

“You see when you and your classmates took a field trip to the Time Machine, people were coming back in time from 2946 because there was an outbreak of radiation. It came through the Time Machine with us and it transformed into dark matter. This gave half your class, hmm how do i put this? Special abilities, if you will.” She explained. 

“What happened to the other half of my class?” 

“The dark matter was too much for their body’s to handle and they didn’t make it, but something extraordinary happened to you, because you were in front of the class your body absorbed so much dark matter you gained 5 times the amount of powers of your friends.” She continued, “I am also obligated to inform you that in the morning you will be transferred to a new school called Outlast.” She furthermore stated “So you should pack anything you have here and bring it with you.” 

The next morning I arrived at OutLast, it was a big school. When I went in I was shown to my dorm and I had a roommate named William. He started to introduce himself and the whe I started to look out the window. Then in the corner of my eye I saw a monster. “What’s that!” I said rather bluntly

 “What’s what?” William said. 

I sprinted outside and peeked from a corner and saw what looked like a student with a 10 foot monster. She seemed to be pleading to the monster. I could faintly make out what she was saying. Something about helping a guy named Outcast whoever he was. Then the monster killed the girl then ran away.

I chased it but once we reached the woods it wasn’t anywhere to be seen. Then I felt there was breathing going down my neck. I turned around and there the monster was, standing right in front of me. And now that you have heard the first part of my story, let’s go from where we left off. I was running from the monster and all of a sudden I was floating. It felt extraordinary. I looked behind me to see where the monster was. But instead of the monster. I saw a pair of wings growing on my back. “So this is what the doctor ment when I had powers.” I thought to myself. The monster had vanished so I flew back to my dorm where William and principal Lockhart were. They both looked rather calm when I started telling them what had happened. 

“That does occasionally happen here sadly.” Principal Lockhart said

When I told him about what the girl had pleaded, he looked shocked. He started asking questions rapidly. I was so confused. Then he asked if I knew the history behind the school.

Yea the driver told me on the way here. Leaonardo Crypt vowed to take revenge on the school for banishing him. 

It seems the days have come, but we need to be sure. William goes to ask Noah to see the future.” Principal Lockhart said

“Zach, you’re an avian and that means you have all of the other powers too. Zach you are the hero in our prophecy. You need to learn how to control all of your power. A class reserved just for you will be built and you will attend them 6 times a week. I will be around if you need me.” 

After he left my dorm became silent. Then I began to rise. It felt like someone was holding me by the neck. I could barely move my head but I saw it was the monster. Then a portal opened in my room. A foot came out then an arm then a chest until it was fully through. 

“Finally I’m out of the awful prison!” The man screamed 

 “Who are you!” I yelled 

“I’m your worst nightmare Zach.”

“Your Outlast! How did you escape prison!?”

“You.” he said subtly 

“What do you mean?”

“You showed your inner avian and that was the key that my stupid brother Lucas made.”

Then my door broke open and William came out from the opening.

“Get away from my roommate.” He said

Then he turned into a werewolf. He fought the monster in our dorm and then Leonardo

slammed his staff down and they vanished into thin air. I dropped down and I saw a piece of paper on the floor. It said “ outlast will burn and you’re going to hell Zach. Signed Leonardo Crypt. There was also a date at the top, 13/7/1990. That was in 10 days but it would be 10 years ago. I immediately told principal Lockhart and he got the school in lockdown and gave a speech on how we were going to protect our school. It took me 2 days to learn each power and I had 2 days left to spare until Outlast came. Then they told me how I could merge all of them together to get one ultra form called a Galatian. This was a myth and it was risky but I decided I would do it. I started by merging my werewolf with my avian and that was called a Senmurv. Then I added the siren and vampire. It worked then a huge wave of energy swept through outlast. Bells went off and there was a huge crash at the front. It was Outcast. Everybody got ready. Then the whole front came crashing down. There was every monster imaginable 

then Outcast screamed “WHERE IS ZACHARY FELX!”

 “Right here!” I was at the top of the top of the building and I jumped off then I formed into a Galatian

and picked up Outcast and threw him. 

“ATTACK!” I screamed

As everyone started batting I went after Outcast. We started fighting. I landed good hits on him but then he brought out his staff. He struck me and it got super bright. It was to hurt my vampire. I was down. He was about to swing the finishing blow, But then a portal opened behind him. Someone stepped out and it looked like me but slightly older. 

“What’s up me?” He said. 

Then it hit me. It was me from the future to help me out. He kicked Outcast down. Then tossed me a staff of some sort and left. I hit Outlast hard. My staff lit up, as did his. I knew what I needed to do. I picked his staff up, crossed them both over, placed them on him and stepped on them. Then he was gone I sent him to a prison where only can be opened by someone from my family tree. It’s called a blood lock. So he will never get out. 

In the halls everyone was congratulating me on defeating Outcast and nobody could stop talking about it. That’s when Mr, Lockhart pulled me into his office. He showed me a picture and asked if “I knew these two people” they looked like my parents so that’s what I told him. Then he told me that they used to be students here.

“But that’s impossible, that means they were special too.” 

“Yes and that means you were too. When they died you must have been so sad you repressed your powers. That dark matter wave must have made them come back.”

I never asked to come to this school and I never asked for these Powers from my parents but I’m sure I will come back to Outlast for the next semester.
