Class Trip

The kids embark on a school field trip to the E.T.A.N. labs. As the bus pulls into the mountain entrance tunnel, it crashes. Many of the kids die in the accident but fifteen make it out alive, if not injured. Troublemakers Ash and Toni manage to get the hurt kids (including Senior Class President and all around perfect girl Charlie) out before the bus catches fire.

Their town has suddenly become a wasteland, plants and trees overgrowing roads, buildings crumbling into ruins. The bus blocks the E.T.A.N. lab, so they can't get inside. Instead, they head back into the dead town, wondering what happened. One of the boys cracks a joke that they've gone through a wormhole to another dimension. Most of the kids laugh uncomfortably, silently wondering how true his words really are.
