ever since I was young I can remember my grandma building houses and not just any type of houses there are more like fortresses like the type you would see in the video game where you just find it until the very end.

I always find it very cool that my grandma can actually build those kinds of that kind of things I remember seeing her with the blueprint I see you slowly draws and draws and draws more of them again that's how I grew up knowing my grandma.

but Mom and the other hand think it's a waste of money my Mom married my grandma's son so he's my dad she always complains that, that's just the way some money building endless empty buildings.

And as usual, Grandma ignores my mom and so does Grandpa, I remember when I turned 13 and grandma called me over to stay with her for a couple of months that turns into a couple of years.

I remember going into the Fortress for the first time and it was like a small city surrounded by huge walls that bend and curved outward, it had giant blades and weird open-space with a pacific shape.

It was breathtaking like I just take a step into a fantasy world or weird Fantasy games.

Me, being a thirteen-year-old and seeing all this was like the best and the most craziest thing to ever happen to me.

I remember how Grandma smiled when she saw my face she stuck out her hand to me and I take it going through the different path and street within no small City Fortress I looked around and the more I saw more questions came to my mind like why would she build this? is my grandma superhuman or something? are is something going to happen to the world?

plenty of things running through my mind that day, there was even a train station somewhere within this small City Fortress.

after taking the train on the way to the main building according to Grandma she opens the door and it was like a huge bomb went off in my head.

when we entered she called it the first floor well obviously is the first where we entered on.

When I look up into a round ceiling then the walls and the floors I start noticing a few shiny things blinking on and off at certain points, that's when the word comes to my mind and then says it out loud, camera; it's surprising my grandma.

But then she suddenly stops and looks at me, I thought I did something wrong, right there; like wasn't I supposed to see it?

Then she smiles and says you really are one of the kind, just like your grandpa; okay, so there's no way a normal thirteen-year-old wannabe compared to their grandpa, but mine was cool, so I was cool with it.

We went up the stairs and that's when grandma said to me that I should go first and I was like o... okay... soon as I take a step up the stairs slowly starts to light up like it's being charged, rebooted are something, likes something big was about to happen. I literally got a little scared and look back at Grandma but she was smiling and telling me to go forward. So like a man I did it, well more like a scared one at least.

I slowly approach the top step and the next thing I know there was this flash over me like a laser beam, that's what I heard a computer voice saying, no bite marks, no injuries, no marks, no scratch, human you are granted a pass to the second floor.

Okay right then and there my heart just stopped and went to heaven, I died and went to heaven and all my mouth did was just keep going on and on like no way! so cool~ I even run down the stairs to try and do it again, but it didn't say anything, that's when grandma says that it's the same reading so it won't say anything more and I was like no, are you opening the amusement park?

I could tell my grandma is having a blast watching all my reactions cuz the more she laughs the more I feel embarrassed, but who cares? that was literally awesome, as soon as grandma stepped up the staircase just like me I hear the computer voice again, welcome back General, and my mouth just popped open, you know more like it dropped open, but you know just mind-blowing.

That's when Grandma just smiled and walked past me looking like a cool lady with a yeah that just happened expression, In my head, I was like damn Grandma leave a little of the coolness for me too.

We made it to the second floor when I looked around and noticed that there are plenty of different types of rooms with multiple different doors with each have a symbol of some kind...I see weapons on one, another one I see a drone on it, another one I saw fighting, stress relief room, on the other one I saw all type of different stuff on there, but we walk past them all. going to the third floor, this time than a staircase, it was an elevator.

As soon as we got there grandma told me to stick my finger into the hole and I looked at her like really? but at the same time was curious like, where is this going? the second I push my finger in and I regretted it because I felt something grabbed onto it and when I pull it out it was bleeding, next thing I know the screen that was right over the elevator buttons comes on and my whole life pops up, my age, where I live, my looks, everything! blood type everything! and I mean everything! from allergies down to everything else you can find out about me was on the screen.

Where's the hole? I ask myself.

That's when I looked at my grandma and she was like oh that will heal, it literally went through my head like you're the one who should stick your finger in, but it was like she read my mind, she said no I already did, I was shocked, like are you a mind reader grandma? and she laughed at me, I wanted to blow up like those red steam things you see in the anime and stuff.

The elevator, finally opened up and we walked right into it, this elevator had stuff that the elevator shouldn't have and I mean there is the casing around the elevator that has different types of long guns in it, I could of swear we're going to war! I just know there's no denying it.

But I wanted to see what else was there, so I didn't bother to ask and I could feel the old lady staring holes into me like eyes were chanting, you wanted to ask, you want to I asked and I was like, no fighting it, no fighting.

Finally, hear the ding the door slides open and when they walked out together that's when I saw a couple of others, and by that I mean Kidz my age, and a little bit over. I looked at her like, who are these people are?

I swear to God this woman laughed again, when she said, think of these other children of mine like family, so technically they're like your aunt and uncles, and then my mouth just flew open and I looked at her like are you for real?- I swear to God I tried my best not to shout too loudly, grandpa just walked in right behind us, like where did you come from? the door was literally open... that's when Grandpa looked at me and realize what's going on, so basically, everyone knows what I want to ask because they all suddenly turn into mine readers or I'm that just obvious?

He said there's more than one elevator and this is just one side of the house. I couldn't take it anymore I just decided that I needed to know and I was like Grandma which apocalypse is coming to Earth?

Her eyes literally open up like she shocks that I even asked that question, in my head I was like lady are you serious?

Like why the hell would you even bother to build this if there wasn't something coming to Earth? that's when a know it all Brat came up to me and was like, at least he's not dumb; and I was like at least not the brat with a weird hairstyle, I KNOW! that suck but I'm cancer, anyways, grandma just came in the middle like a military badass and says, break up you two and I was like, looking at her like I didn't start a thing?- Grandpa came behind me and ruffle my head and turn my beautiful brushed-up awesome looking hair into a bird's nest.

Next thing I know I was in a ring with the brat wearing boxing gloves.
