BIO-Sapien book 2 - Planet Xenos

  Chapter 7 Alien Life

  Jaden and his new alien friends begin walking down a long hallway that looks like a circular tunnel, spinning clockwise. Bellona’s body morphs back into the silver lion she was earlier. Jaden is getting used to walking in this virtual body. Colorful like a rainbow, but mostly burgundy lights circle around at a moderate speed. The hallway smells like roses at a florist shop. Jaden turns around and he sees Bomani and Marco walking on the left side of the hallway. Jaden sees Bellona morphing back to her exotic lion body.

  ‘When I walk, I like using a lion’s body in our city,’ she says before Jaden can ask her.

 

  ‘We have some work to do Jaden, we will catch up with you later,’ Bomani says telepathically.

  ‘See you guys later,’ Jaden says. He watches as they disappear into the glowing burgundy circular lights and dark walls surrounding him in the hallway. He turns and looks forward, as Bellona is waiting in front of him. At the end of the hall is a doorway full of light. The bright light is causing Jaden to squint his eyes as he walks outside.

  ‘Are you ready to evolve your imagination Jaden?’

  ‘Yes, I am! As soon as I can focus through all this light.’

  ‘Your brain might need some time to adjust to all the colors of this magnitude.’

  Bellona stands at the doorway and her tail stretches upwards. ‘Don’t worry, don’t be afraid, grab onto my tail.’

  The end of her tail morphs into a hand with six fingers. He has a surprising look on his face and hesitates before touching the silver hand coming from her tail. Jaden reaches out and grabs her hand. He closes his eyes and Jaden feels something passing through his body. A bizarre feeling of energy can be felt coming from Bellona’s tail hand. They walk through the doorway and he opens his eyes. A fresh sea breeze hits both of their bodies. Sounds of birds echo in stereo around Jaden’s virtual ears. His eyes adjust and the bright sunlight from above shines on everything around him. On the ground around Jaden are dozens of aqua colored diamonds that resemble small houses. On top of each diamond are dozens of floating grey and black thorns pointing thirty feet into the air and rotating. The thorns resemble a huge king’s crown. The diamond structures are portals to different parts of the planet.

  Jaden looks into the sky and turns his body to look over him. He sees odd shaped structures sitting on top of thick clouds high above him. On top of the white puffy clouds are slowly rotating rainbow cubes the size of 5-10 story buildings. There are also spheres that resemble little planets on top of the clouds. The odd shaped structures resemble little cities. The cube buildings remind Jaden of the Borg ships from Star Trek. Towards the right is a huge lake that is completely reflective and calm. It reflects the floating cities above it. On his right is a huge rectangular body of water that goes fifty feet into the air, 500 feet wide and about 2000 feet long. There is no structure holding the water in place, similar to the body of water Jaden’s human body is floating in. As Jaden walks, something rubs against his legs, but he is too hypnotized to care what it is.

  There are mechanical, colorful fish that resemble dolphins, triggers, angelfish and sharks the size of a truck. Their eyes glow of electricity as they swim freely in the controlled body of water. The fish change color at different angles as they swim along. There are electricity charges flying in different directions touching the mechanical fish, giving them a glowing color.

  ‘I feel as if I’m in a fantasy world. This is amazing and mindboggling. I’m completely amazed. I mean, mechanical fish the size of a school bus, a huge crystal lake, floating cities on clouds. Wow!’ Jaden says while continuing to look around him.

  There are different energies of light flying between the white clouds high above. The clouds completely cover the sky and the sunlight can be seen trying to penetrate them. At a distance, Jaden sees dozens of thirty-foot orange trees that look like giant mushrooms. Under the top of the mushroom trees are glowing blue lights with brown vines that stretch towards the trees’ main body. Jaden walks through soft grass up to his knees.

  ‘All of this is your virtual city?’ Jaden asks.

  ‘Yes. There is a lot more that are private areas and encoded areas that you can’t see. The location of our city is deep underwater. I’ll show and explain that too you later.’

  ‘Okay. I feel like I’m in the cartoon The Jetsons and the movie Star Wars.’

  ‘Come on Jaden, don’t be afraid.’

  ‘Someone needs to cut the grass here.’

  The grass is instantly cut and is on the level of Jaden’s sneakers.

  ‘Wow! That was quick; I barely blinked my eyes. Aliens live in those structures?’ He asks.

  ‘Yes.’

  ‘Do you have a house or structure like this?’

  ‘Yes, maybe you can see mine one day, I’m sure you would like it. It’s my temple of relaxing and connecting with the universe through spirit quarks.’

  ‘Sounds very cool.’

  Jaden walks and is astonished by everything he is seeing. The huge fish in the tank boggles Jaden’s mind.

  ‘Those are biomechanical fish in that virtual tank. Our artificial intelligence pets are in there. Would you like to swim around in a fish body?’ She asks.

  ‘No, no thanks. I don’t want to be an alien fish. Maybe later,’ he responds.

  Jaden tries to take everything in he is seeing. They continue walking forward. The fresh air of roses and flowers pass by his nose and is absorbed into his body’s pores. Everything looks so realistic with so many vivid colors. The thorns are slowly rotating on top of the sphere houses, creating a slight humming sound. On the floating structures, there aren’t any windows and they remind him of a futuristic movie. There are rainbows connecting to each structure and Jaden sees hundreds of different colors. Certain things and objects quickly go blurry and then clear to Jaden’s eyes.
