Warning: Mature     The Atlantis Series Book 1 Stars Reborn     Lights turned the dark sky into day as the city celebrated the beginning of 3996. Music filtered into every crevice, even softly up the 1340 story tall white skyscraper though it was coming from the massive screen on the wall of the top floor penthouse, that went from floor to the ceiling and took almost a fourth of the wall itself in the spacious but extremely expensively furnished floor. Two men looked through the windows that had multiple small screens of enhanced views of the streets below the Pillar of Atlantis the home of the Atlantis Corporation, as they shared a glasses of whiskey and talked about past events in the light of the screens. On the massive screen behind them a beautiful brunette reporter was covering the event.       "People celebrate the beginning of 3996 in the city of Atlantica, the home of the Atlantis Corporation, wondering what changes will make themselves known this year. But let's not forget the past starting with the Great Shift in 2872 when the continental plates shifted back into their original places forming Pangaea, taking countless lives and destroyed thousands of cities. Soon after that was war after war and the collapse of old governments but in the ashes came the corporations, giving jobs and building cities. Of course these too began to fight as they claimed land for their districts.   The bloodiest was between Ark, Maverick, Kiason, and Atlantis but eventually those died down leaving only skirmishes here and there between smaller businesses as the superpowers settled. But lets not forget the breakthroughs Atlantis and the others have done as far as food, medicine, improving lives. The ozone scrubbers and the weather control to keep this planet healthy followed soon after by the colonization of Mars and the construction of the Transpillarsâ?¦â? The camera panned out showing the massive base of the distant pillar that rose up into the clouds before switching to a satellite feed of the massive green space station it connected too with bold white letters spelling Pacifica along its side.     The camera switched back to the reporter with the Pillar of Atlantis gleaming in lights back dropping her. As we can see the city of Atlantica is alive tonight though no appearance by Jason Warren, the owner of Atlantis Corporations, as been seen or announced.â? She paused for a moment to brush a stray lock from her face. â??Rumors speculate that Mr. Warren is a clone or android as he never has seemed to changed in appearance over the years. Other rumors speculate that he has discovered and breakthrough that keeps him alive but hoards it for himself. My favorite one states that he is actually a survivor of the lost city of Atlantis putting him at almost fifteen thousand years oldâ?¦â?   The men broke out in laughter as the reporter continued on before raising their glasses. â??To Atlantis. To the stars rebornâ?     2 Days prior The young dirty blonde haired man swiped the sweat from his forehead after throwing another shovel full of dirt out of the hole he was working in the dig site. The dig site was owned by Atlantis and they had recently began uncovering the buried city of Memphis, Tennessee which had been lost during the Great Shift as the fault line it had been built on swallowed it whole. Yelling and shouting could be heard in the background as the heads of the dig where looking at any and everything brought to them almost as if searching for something in particular. This Atlantis Corporation sure tends to keep a lid on everything and stayed mysteriously in the shadows.       He tossed another shovel full before taking a drink of his canteen. He popped his head up to make sure he was alone then hunkered down into the hole pulling out a vial of red powder. He carefully took off the cap and tapped a small amount into his hand before sniffing it, causing him to lean back as his head spun and his nerves tingling. During the moments of pleasure he thought to his girlfriend back in Atlantica in their one bedroom flat probably working her day and night jobs constantly to pay rent as he always spent his on booze and drugs though he told her he was investing it and he could tell she believed him. He also remembered the pain in her eyes when he told her he was leaving for this new job on their one year and had not even brought her a present. Suddenly the ground below him gave way sending him crashing below.     By the time he had blinked the stars away he could hear voices above shouting to get a ladder. He looked around noticing the old decay of the room he had landed in that may have belonged to a school with all the desks. He coughed as dust filtered his lungs then immediately winced grabbing his foot, which was obviously broken and turned sideways. Next to his foot though was something unusual that glinted in the light filtered through the dust from the hole he had fallen through. His jaw dropped as he examined the glasses made from solid crystal with plain lens that was surprisingly light for what it was made of.     â??What rich bastard did you belong too?â? He groaned as he leaned back over to grab the other item, a ring of pure ruby with no flaws whatsoever just like the glasses. Seeing the ring he found himself wishing it had been a naval piercing as his girlfriend loved to get new and interesting ones. He let out a slight gasp and dropped the ring as it suddenly started moving and changing shape. Within seconds it had become exactly what he desired, a gorgeous naval piercing that would have taken him years of saving up to buy. Even the tiny chain links in it were made of ruby.     He snapped back at the sounds of feet scuffling and voices becoming clearer above him. He looked back at the ruby piercing and quickly pocketed it before looking back up. â??Hey down here!â?   â??Michael you okay?â? A voice came over the lip of the hole.   â??Ankle is broken but you wonâ??t believe what I foundâ? -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   And there you have it folks.
