Echoes of Babylon Chapter2

Chapter 2


Tick Tick Tick

‘Sigh’ It had been three hours since they left for Station Square, and nothing exciting had happened. Wave was on her e-mail Storm was playing Skate it with Bean, Nack and Bark were looking through the fridge. Out of boredom Jet flipped open his phone only to be let down as the screen said no messages. Jet closed his phone and slowly stood up, he then proceeded to walk out of his room and into the long hallway before him. As he continued down the hall he counted the rooms…10,11,12 there were 12 all together. As he neared the end of the hallway he noticed something peculiar, there were twelve rooms but the only Babylon Rouges were Wave Storm and himself. So they never had a reason to go into any of the other rooms besides the kitchen living and control rooms. Then it hit him he had been living in the airship for over 10 years now and had never gone in the other rooms, he walked up to the nearest room and slowly turned the handle. He then heard a satisfying click he then gently pushed open the door just enough so that he could peek through the now present crack. He could just barely make out a bed and nightstand. Jet gently pushed the door open and saw that it was a large room with two chairs a closet and fan as well as what he could see through the crack. Jet cautiously stepped into the room as if there were a trap, the green avian looked down at the carpet and took note of it’s color, red. The Babylonian color of royalty he also noticed the walls were a beautiful cream color and had very impressive crown molding around the ceiling. But before this could sink in his mind was racing who had lived here? They were obviously important but more importantly why did he seem to remember this room? Jet then made his way to the closet door and turned the knob only to be met with disappointment as it only turned half way. Locked Jet said with a frown he spun around and was leaving as something caught his eye there on the nightstand sat a bronze key he picked up the key and placed inside of the door knob and then turned it and was met with a familiar click he removed the key and turned the knob and began to pull…

”Jet!!!” it was Wave
“What!?” the avian responded
“Were here”
“Sigh coming I guess I’ll have to wait until later” he sat the key back on the stand and slowly exited.
Jet hurriedly ran to the docking bay where everyone else was standing.
“This is it! Welcome to our home Station Square!”
Jet looked at Bean who had just spoke and then back to the sight before him a huge city engulfed in a beautiful sunset.
Yeah Bean this is it
