Chapter 7

Chapter 7: The Firewall Zone:

The very next day, in the eve hours of the morning, both Void and SNT were sleeping in the dormitories one room apart from each other.

In SNT's dorm room, she opened her eyes, as she sat up and stretched her arms to the side and yawned.

SNT was training in a familiar training room where she once trained with Sonic and her friends on Angel Island. With Tails at the helm, he pressed a button on his control panel revealing a special stage.

SPECIAL STAGE, GET TO THE END OF THE STAGE IN ONE MINUTE

SNT began the race by grabbing onto the monkey bars and managed to reach the other side, thus completing the obstacle course in only 15 seconds.

SNT then jumped onto a stairwell where she slid down and began to collect rings. The more rings she collected, the faster she would speed up.

She then boosted past a couple of sandbags and made it to the finish line as Sonic was waiting for her while holding the checkered flag.

Special stage – cleared.

Happy and excited; Sonic and Tails gathered around SNT and picked her up as they cheered for her, "Three cheers for SNT, hip hip hooray!!! Hip hip...!!!" They shouted in unison. Suddenly, Sonic grabbed an air horn in his pocket and pressed the button to sound it. SNT was frightened that she jumped up high in the air and fell face first to the ground.

Suddenly, reality came back in the form of SNT's body laying on the wooden floor.

"......Oww." Murmured SNT.

As she slowly got up to her feet, the source of the horns were coming from outside the dorm room.

Meanwhile at the same time. In the dorm room next door to SNT, Void ranger was unfortunately tossing and turning while constantly repeating, "No, no, stay away from me. NO!"

Void suddenly woke up from his nightmare and yelled out loud,

"AHHHHHHH!!!" Void shouted just as a programmer from outside the dorms was playing an army wake up song called reveille on his audio player towards the intercom.

As the reveille song was playing, SNT quickly knocked on Void's door vigorously.

Void slowly got to his feet as he walked towards the door to open it.

"Hello? Who is it?" Void asked,

"It's me, SNT!" She shouted, "Let me in, I heard you scream!!"

Void slowly opened the door and was greeted with a tight hug from SNT. "Oh Void, are you okay? What happened?!!"

Void looked back at SNT feeling very groggy. "SNT... my apologies, I just had a nightmare." Void then proceeded to sit down on his bed.

"What kind of nightmare?" SNT asked curiously.

Void closed his eyes and bowed his head. "The death of my stepmother. Tis a reoccurring dream that I keep having over and over again.

You see, it always starts at the dining table. I see my stepmother arguing with my stepfather about me joining the U.A.V or something? Then the argument turns violent as my stepfather flips the table.

I am young and defenseless against my family, so I just wait for the argument to end by hiding behind a flipped table. 

But by the time my mother runs to the bedroom on the second floor, and my stepfather tries to barge into the room..." Void concluded by putting his hands on his face as he cried in front of SNT.
