"This is gonna be one hell of a ride," E.E voiced out excitedly as they moved towards the bedroom area.
Despite the spacecraft being quite massive, the bedrooms were not very large and there were not a high number of them.
They had to share the bedrooms, four each before they headed to the sitting area.
Everyone wondered why the rooms were so little considering how big the spacecraft was but after making use of God Eyes, Gustav understood the reason.
The group soon arrived in the sitting area where hundreds of seats positioned in rows and columns could be spotted.
At the edges, some of the walls were see through, which meant anyone that sat close to the wall could see into space while they were journeying.
Gustav being a sucker for space and nature, proceeded to pick a seat close to the wall while the others also sat in their desired positions.
"The substitutes will be joining us in a few," Grand commander Shion announced after arriving in the sitting area.
Gustav wasn't surprised about this since it only made sense for them to follow.
This meant they would be around sixty of them journeying on this spacecraft to Planet Ozious.
Up ahead in the seating area was the cockpit where the pilot and navigators were situated.
The journey would begin the moment the substitutes came on board.
-
-"The Earth's IYSOP candidates are leaving for Planet Ozious today,"
-"As you can see, they are moving into the spacecraft with the earth and MBO design,"
-"We can only hope for the victory of our young participants,"
All across the world, the area where the spacecraft had appeared was be displayed all across the world on different media outlets.
The media outlets also made reference to how the IYSOP competition would be broadcasted on earth when it begins.
Of course there were people who had the privilege to witness IYSOP in person but the slots were already full. Only a limited number of people from each planet participating was allowed.
The media outlets displayed the spacecraft lifting off the ground and dissapearing into the sky after a while.

(Five Days Later)
"I thought you would go with him," Gradier Xanatus voiced out to a beautiful lady clad in all white garment.
"This takes priority. Besides he is safe with that grandpa so it's fine," Miss Aimee replied.
"Oh I guess you are right young Miss," Gradier Xanatus nodded.
"My avatar will remain on earth while I try to find out more both here and on my planet," Miss Aimee informed.
"The team we sent out haven't discovered anything yet," Gradier Xanatus reported.
"I am not surprised... even I can't sense a shred of its existence after its disappearance," Miss Aimee replied.
"In times like this, I always send the kid to investigate and somehow he always discovers something that even experienced officers and researchers are unable to find," Gradier Xanatus felt Gustav always managed to crack every mysterious situation without a lead.
"That reminds me, he must have witnessed it too... how did he react?" Miss Aimee questioned.
"He had just returned to the tower then... we didn't speak much about it because he was busy with getting permission for the IYSOP candidates to visit the Oasis," Gradier Xanatus disclosed.
"I see..." Miss Aimee decided she would still hold a conversation about this with Gustav later to see if he had any idea about it.
"Looks like I will be attending that IYSOP after all," Miss Aimee voiced out.
"Oh? It is already quite late to leave by this time young Miss. The people attending already left two days ago and it takes three weeks of journeying..." Gradier Xanatus was still explaining when Miss Aimee cut him short.
"That is no problem, I'll journeythere myself," She stated.
"Should take about a week... so I still have a week more," Miss Aimee muttered with a calculative tone.
"Huh?" Gradier Xanatus eyes widened slightly.
"Do you wanna come with me?" She questioned.
"Erm young miss i still have a lot to..." Gradier Xanatus was still answering when she cut him short again.
"So that's a yes then, good, see you in a week time," She stated before walking out of the room while waving.
Gradier Xanatus; ...
"Keep me posted if you discover anything," She added before completely disappearing.

considered insanely fast.
Within a particular part of the spacecraft, a group could be seen standing in front of an holographic Deep in space, a spacecraft moved at incredible speed, parting a cloud of red dust in the path.
There were never ending speck of stars but due to the speed of the spacecraft these stars were soon left behind.
The aircraft was moving at more than a hundred thousand light years per hour which was considered insanely fast.
Within a particular part of the spacecraft, a group could be seen standing in front of an holographic screen.
-"Will he break the record?"
-"He probably will,"
-"Dennis sure is strong,"
The group chatted amongst themselves as they watched a display in the screen above.
A purple haired male could be seen gliding across a turbulent looking sea on a small piece of block.
This male, avoided the lightning strikes from above and even parried them sometimes as the small piece of block kept taking him forward.
"He is getting there," Glade voiced out.
"Do you really think he can supass Fildhor's record?" Falco questioned.
"Doubt it," Teemee and Glade responded at the same time.
They briefly glanced at each other before turning away.
On the screen, a golden colored lightning bolt suddenly descended from the sky and landed right in the turbulent sea.
Fwwwhoooommmmm~
The sea suddenly rose with intensity throwing the purple haired male high into the sky. The piece of block kept spiralling intensely in the air as he reached out to grab it.
However, before his hand could make contact with it...
Thrraaahhh~ Thhrraahhh~ Thrrraahhh~
Seven lightning bolts descended from seven different positions in the sky and struck him down.
BAM!
His figure evaporated in the next instant and a display of 'Game over,' was shown on the holographic screen.
"Awww,"
Some of them let out disappointment sounds as a figure who was standing up ahead pulled a transparent helmet off his head.
This was the same person who had been displayed on the holographic screen. He had a face full of smiles even though he was a bit disappointed as he approached the group.
"I tried my best," Dennis voiced out.
"Yeah you tried," Some of them nodded.
"I will break the record," One of them who was flat faced voiced out with confidence.
"We should probably go and join the others in training," Falco said to Teemee and Glade.
"They should probably come and join us here. At least these guys know how to have fun," Teemee replied.
"I agree with Teemee," Glade stated.
"IYSOP is not a game. We should remain serious," Falco voiced out.
"Don't be so uptight captain... as they say, all work and no play..." Teemee voiced while tapping Falco's shoulders.
In a room similar to the one these three were positioned in, another group seemed to have occupied the place.
They all stood in a kind of circle with transparent blue helmet on their heads.
An holographic screen displayed different locations where each of the people in these group seemed to be training.
Within one of the screens, a lad with dirty blonde hair floated above a mountain top with a gigantic milky colored blade in his grasp.
Massive bat like wings could be seen protruding out of his back and flapping occasionally.
"It's quite disappointing that the technology can't mimic all of my abilities in this virtual world," Gustav voiced while waving the blade with his right hand.
("That is to be expected since it can't sense more than two of your bloodlines,") The system replied.
'The system abilities don't work here either,' Gustav felt a bit handicapped but somehow he was finding this fun.
"So I only have my strength, speed and the abilities from atomic manipulation as well as Genetic Manipulation..." Gustav calculated while a wave could be seen up ahead.
The wave of black and brown dots had covered up the sky and they seemed to be heading in his direction.
"This should be fun," Gustav smirked as he stared at the encroaching high numbers in the sky.
Scrreeehhhhhhh~
Loud screeching sounds rang out as these creatures casted a huge shadow across the mountains up ahead and even the one Gustav hovered above.
Fwwhiii~ Fwwhiii~ Fwwhiii~
They dropped down like missiles in Gustav's direction while he charged upwards with intensity while swinging out his atomic blade.
Fhoooommmppp~
With a single flap of his wings, destructive winds blasted forth in every direction causing the mountain below to flatten.
SWWHIIII~
Gustav swung his massive atomic blade at the first group that arrived before him, causing loud clanks to ring out.
Ki! KI! ki!
It was like the blade made contact with the hardest metal in the universe as the atomic blade failed
to cut through the creatures.
