Prologue: Memories of Michtam -- A Nightmare

Summary: One year after the events of Xenosaga Episode II, Shane now lives a hectic life filled with military training and a singing career to boot. She begins to have dreams of the upcoming events along with a young girl invading her dreams. But this girl isn't Rukia, but someone else. Just who is she and how is Shane connected to Shion? Final part of the Shane/Rukia story.

ASM: So, chaos-kun, having fun with Shane-san?

chaos: It's a very...interesting experience, Also.

ASM: (cackles) Yup, yup. So, wanna do the disclaimer thingy?

chaos: ...Okay. Also Sprach Mina does not own the Xenosaga series. She only owns Shane, Rukia, and the new female OC. You know this, I know this, and everyone knows too.

ASM: Thank you. :3 Enjoy!

This is a story of a young boy who had gone through a very traumatic experience. Wanna hear that story? It'll scare you. ...Yeah? Alright then, whatever you say...

Picture it: T.C. 4747 Planet Michtam, the city completely in ruins as a building showed a light that reached into the sky from the top; hordes of Gnosis attacking the area and its people. Blood and flames frickin' everywhere. A mother and her blue-haired son ran quickly to get away from the area; the woman holding onto her son's hand tightly. Then, the mother and her ran to a wrecked ship with an emergency escape pod still intact.

As they embraced, the mother gave her necklace to the blue-haired boy after she put him in the pod, strapping him in. The cockpit of the escape pod closed on him (no, the door closed) as he pounded his small hands desperately on the window towards his mother. The mother and the son placed their hands on either side of the window in the same place only to have the boy watch his mother suddenly mutate into a horrendous creature. With the boy crying out for his mother, the escape pod took off and out of the Planet Michtam's orbital space...

There. That was the story. Sadistic little monkey, ain't I? Are you scared yet? ..No? Feh, I tried. ...What about the kid? The fuck you mean "what happened to him?" I know what happened, but I won't tell you. I'll only say this: that boy in the story?

Let's just say he lived.

Prologue: End.

Hehehe, pretty random prologue, huh? This was told from Shane's perspective when she first played the third Xenosaga game. ..I think I thought of this too when I saw the scene. Anyway, R&R! ;3 PS: Got any ideas for the unnamed female OC? As in, her name?
