A/N: Many names/new city names I will pull from different languages. I'll put where I pulled the name from. Also I would like to thank REFBOARDER for my 100th view on my first story. Also he suggested a name for the new mech series. Volition which will now be used, it has a nice ring to it. Also I'll be editing a mistake from Chapter 41. The mech series is actually Volition A101 not R101. I will go back and make the changes in due time. A101 is being used by Holland and the crew on the Gekkostate. They look similar to the Terminus R909 but much better. The next machines up are A102's that look similar to R505 that Sumner uses in the game. The machines the rebels are now using are replicas of the Mon-soono but with some modifications on them so I'll call those Ralska's A101's.

Chapter 1
The Stranger

One Year Later

A circle hole opened up through the sky as a man fell fast through the sky to the lake next to this small village. A girl noticed the falling man as she screamed for help and began running as did a few other villagers. She figured out where he was going to hit jumping into the water as did a few of the men from the village. They began swimming following the girl as the man hit the water moments later but it looked like something slowed his decent in the last minute making the fall non life threatening. The girl reached the man just as he was sinking further into the lake. She pulled him above the water as the other men helped her bring him to shore. As they were swimming to shore she noticed he was still alive and breathing just fine. Once they got him to the shore she noticed he had three scars on his back. Like something stabbed him in those places. There was also a small scar on his forehead. He had brown hair and looked to be a little less than 6 feet and he was completely naked. One of the men wrapped a towel around him and carried him into the village where their healer was. The man knocked on the door as a woman's voice answered telling him to enter. He did as he was told. She motioned him to put the unconscious man on the make shift bed of hay then ushered him to leave the room. She began examining him making sure he had no injuries and after a few minutes decided he wasn't any in life threatening danger. She finished drying him off then dressed him with a few spare villagers clothing then exited the room. The village chief was approaching fast to see what the healer had to say.

"Love, how is the boy fairing?" A very tall black haired man named Aaron asked

"He is fine. Resting at the moment." A middle height brown hair woman named Adina answered

Another girl walked up to Aaron holding some foreign device neither she nor he has seen before. It was metal on the back and had a screen on the front with a round button with something plugged into the top with a wire splitting at the end with two round things at the end of the wire.

"This fell from the sky after that boy did." A beautiful looking five foot four tanned girl named Aimi said. She had pink hair that flowed down to a little past her mid back as her eyes were the color amber. She had a fit build due to helping out around the village a lot. She handed the device to the village chief Aaron as examined it.

"Thank you Aimi." Aaron said taking the device from her as he examined it closely trying to decipher what it was.

"I don't think this will bring the village any harm. Love can you set this down next to him?" He asked

"I will." She said as she took the device from Aaron.

"Alright, everyone back to work. I will inform you all if anything changes with the new comer." Aaron said as a few of the villagers were disappointed but did as they were told except the girl who saved the new comers life.

Adina returned back into the hut where the man slept peacefully. She placed the device on the table across from him then began working on organizing her herbs. Soon after leaving the hut.

An hour had passed as a red haired girl named Akane looked around and when no one was looking bolted for the hut, entering quickly and shutting the door behind her. She stopped for a moment listening to the sounds of the villagers going about their business. A few moments pass then she began walking to where the new comer lay. She observed him, studying his every curve and features of his entire body then saw the device laying on the table. She picked it up studying it curiously. She heard someone stir from next to her, dropping the device from being surprised she whipped her head towards the noise and noticed the man was stirring as he slowly opened his eyes.

First Person POV

I opened my eyes as they adjusted to the light I looked around as my eyes came upon a red haired girl dressed in what looked to be a light shirt and pants made from deer skin with markings on the shirt and pants as the light illuminated her.

"Tenshi?" I said, more to myself then anyone.

"I wish." The girl retorted, chuckling a bit afterwards.

"Who are you and where am I?" I asked sounding very groggy as I looked around the room once again.

"I'm Akane and you're in my village called Kosui Village." She answered

"How did I get here?" I asked not recalling any memories until the ones I've just made.

"Do you not remember?" she asked

"No, I don't have any memories." I answer as this caused her to become very surprised and worried.

"You fell out of the sky and landed in the lake next to my village. Myself and a few others saved you from drowning." She said

"I see." I said as I slowly sat up looking over at her again then at the table. The device there I felt like I should have known what it was but I couldn't recall. My head then began hurting a lot as I quickly brought my hands to my head then slammed back down onto the hay.

"ITAI!" I yelled out as I curled up into a ball due to the pain. A moment later Akane was right next to me trying to figure out to do. Just then door quickly opened as someone ran in and grabbed something from the counter.

"Drink this it will ease the pain, young one." An elderly sounding woman said.

As I quickly sat up downing the liquid in seconds while the minutes passed the pain slowly subsided.

"Thank you…Um" I said

"Adina." She said

"Thank you Adina." I said

"You're welcome. What is your name?" Adina asked kindly as I began thinking for a moment trying to remember something then clicked.

"Shawn." Were the words that came out of my mouth as I figured that was my name.

"I see. Nice to meet you Shawn. Do you remember how you got here?" Adina asked

"He doesn't have any memories healer." Akane interjected

"I see. I'm very sorry. You are welcome to stay in our village till you regain your memories." Adina said

"Thank you for your kindness. Where is this village exactly?" I asked trying to see if anything she could tell me would help me regain some of my memories back.

"We're about one hundred miles south of Tresor's Military Facility." Adina answered again I felt I should know that name but my memory was failing.

"I don't recall that name. I'll rest a bit more if you don't mind." I said as Adina nodded.

"Come Akane let Shawn get some rest." Adina said as Akane nodded

"It was nice meeting you Shawn." Akane said with a gentle smile waving slightly then walked out of the door while the healer lit some incenses. It had a cinnamon smell to them and was very pleasant. I slowly drifted off to sleep again. Another few hours later I noticed the daylight was getting a bit less in the sky. I decided I had slept enough. I slowly sat up stretching now noticing the cloths I was wearing were similar in material to one's Akane and Adina were wearing. I managed to stand up slowly steadying myself as one of my fingers landed on the circle button on the device laying on the table. This brought up a screen that said Shawn's Ipod. I slide the bar thing to the right unlocking it as a few memories came back to me but only how to use this device then my stomach growled quite loudly. I picked up the Ipod placing it into one of the pockets walking to the door I opened it to reveal a good fifty people walking around with food in their hand as it looked like they were taking it to this big hut. I smelt the air and my stomach instantly growled again while my mouth began watering. I walked outside closing the door behind me as I looked around the village. I noticed there were many huts around this village besides the big one. The one all the way to the left of me seemed a bit bigger than the others. Everyone then stopped what they were doing now observing me. The village chief came out and noticed where was everyone looking. He quickly rushed over to greet me.

"How are you feeling?" He asked

"I'm feeling better but rather hungry." I said

"I bet you are. Come inside the hut and sit down. We'll be eating soon." He said

"Thank You." I said as I entered the hut looking for a place to sit Akane patted a spot next to her so I decided on sitting there.

"Hi Shawn!" Akane said happily

"Hello." I said in my usual tone

"We're you able to remember anything yet?" Akane asked curiously.

"I remembered how to use that device you were looking at. It's called an Ipod." I said

"Do you know where you got it and what is it used for?" Akane asked curiously

"Sadly I don't know yet and it plays music and such" I said as she gave me this disappointed look which was quite cute about not knowing anything else but seemed to miss the part about me saying it plays music.

"Akane I have a question for you." I said

"Yes?" She asked

"How come all the villagers but you have bright colored hair?" I asked

"There's three others that have bright colored hair but we were found in a cave on the outside of that lake." Akane said

"I see. Could you show me sometime?" I asked

"I'd love to! It's really amazing in there!" Akane said excitedly

"I look forward to it." I said chuckling a bit at how happy she sounded.

Everyone entered into the hut a few moments later and just as Akane said there were 3 others. They walked over to where Akane and I were sitting. They took a seat next to us as they turned me. The girl waved at me as both the boys extended their hands as I shook their hands.

"I'm Aimi." The pink haired girl said

"I'm Akio." The blue haired boy said in a rather monotone way

"and I'm Ayumu. Don't mind Akio he's always sounding like that unless he's explaining something." Blonde haired boy said causing me to chuckle a bit.

"Shawn's my name. It's a pleasure to meet all of you." I said

"He has manners." Aimi said sounding a bit surprised.

"And you thought I wouldn't." I said sounding playfully sarcastic

"And an amusing sense of humor." Aimi said

"But of course." I said as Akane looked at me then started laughing at how I was acting.

"Glad I'm good entertainment for someone." I said chuckling at how hard Akane was laughing.

Something finally caught my attention, it was their eyes. They all had a thin lavender ring around their iris. I was trying to remember what that meant but I couldn't recall so I dismissed it for the time being. Just then the villager asked everyone to quiet down. He spoke a few words, thanking the gods for a great harvest and food then turned me and thanked for the gods for saving me. After that everyone started digging in including me. The food I will say tasted amazing.

"How is the food to your liking?" Adina asked

"The food is amazing! I feels like Ive tasted something like this in the past." I said

"I'm glad you like it. Eat as much as you like." Adina stated

"Thank you very much!" I said as I started eating till I was stuffed.

"So Shawn, have you remembered anything yet?" Aaron asked

"Dear, it's not even been a day. No need to pester him about his memories." Adina said gently as this caused everyone to chuckle as Aaron seemed embarrassed then chuckled as well.

'These people are really nice. I wouldn't mind staying here for a while.' I thought as I observed how everyone acted. As people would bring me into their conversations asking random things and such. After about an hour or so we all helped clean up the table, even though they insisted I go rest I still helped out.

"He'll make a find husband." A older woman said causing me to blush a tiny bit.

"I agree. I wonder if he has a special someone." A younger woman asked.

"Who knows, it's possible." The older one said.

"It'd be nice if he didn't have one." The younger woman said sounding all dreamy.

"You're hopeless." The older woman said as I walked out of earshot of those two.

I decided to walk over to the lake sitting down on the grass as I stared at the water in the distance while the sun was setting. I put one of my head phones in and hit play as some classical music came on. I noticed the evening sky colors were being reflected in the water making a complete replica of the sky.

"Beautiful." I said

"It is." Akane said causing me to jump.

"A little jumpy are we?" Akane asked

"Ha, ha. Very funny miss red head." I said winking at her then started laughing a bit as she playfully smacked my arm. As I gave this fake over exaggerated pain look as she laughed even harder at that.

"You're funny." Akane said

"Why thank you." I said bowing the best I could while sitting.

"Hey Akane, you said you were found in a cave right?" I asked

"Yes, why do you ask?" Akane said

"Did you have any memories when you woke up?" I asked

"Not at first but then it was like I was linked to something and gained a lot of memories at once. It was the same for the other three as well." Akane said

"I see. That's really interesting." I said as Akane shrugged

"Hey you two love birds Adina is looking for Shawn." Ayumu teased

"Very funny, Ayumu." I said chuckling a bit as I stood up while Akane stood up as well.

"Can you show me where Adina is?" I asked

"Sure, Shawn." Ayumu replied

"So what were you two doing out here?" Ayumu asked

"I was watching the sky change colors and how the water reflected the sky." I explained as Ayumu looked back.

"I see. Not really my thing, I like hunting and protecting the village." Ayumu said

'So he's a hunter, well with how he's built I'm not surprised.' I thought

We finally made it to Adina's medical hut. Ayumu knocked then left to go find Aimi as Adina answered.

"You were looking for me?" I asked

"Oh yes. I was wondering where we should have you sleep while you stay in the village." Adina said

"He can stay with me Adina!" Akane said excitedly which made me wonder how much sleep I was going to get due to her talkative personality. Adina thought for a moments then turned to me.

"Would that be alright with you Shawn?" Adina asked

"I don't mind." I said

"Yay!" Akane said excitedly

"Now remember Akane no keeping him up late by talking till the sun rises." Adina said shaking her finger at Akane.

"Hai, Hai." Akane said sounding rather annoyed that Adina was right.

"Shawn's here's a light blanket for you. It stays pretty hot at night so I'm sure you won't need it. There's some extra hay that Akane can help you carry into her hut so you can sleep on something." Adina said as I nodded my head.

"Thanks Adina and Akane for taking care of me." I said bowing a bit.

"No need to thank us Shawn." Akane and Adina said as I followed Akane to where the hay was. We picked up some then headed to her hut. I did notice the other three teenagers I met earlier lived right next to Akane. I waved at them as they waved back while Akane and I entered into her hut. Akane and I laid the hay down then got my bed setup.

"Shawn turn around I need to change." Akane asked nicely as I did as I was told. I could hear her removing off her clothes dropping to the ground then sliding something over her body.

"You can turn around now." Akane said as I turned back around as I started surveying the hut. She had various nick nacks around her hut and it seemed quite girly.

"You have a nice hut here." I said

"Thanks!" She said happily

"Shawn can we chat for a bit?" Akane asked sounding very excited

"Sure. How come you're so excited?" I asked

"You're a new person and I've never had a boy stay in my hut before." Akane said the last part a bit lower toned and her face was a bit red. I know knew the reason so I decided to indulge in her request.

"Alright so what do you want to talk about?" I asked for the next two hours we talked about the village, how long she's been living here and many other various things. Eventually we both became very tired slowly drifting off to sleep.

I began dreaming of the battles I went through as my body visibly did minor jerks off and on. Eventually I was startled awake but I couldn't recall what I was dreaming about. I laid there staring at the ceiling till I couldn't stand it anymore. I slowly climbed out of bed, heading for the door I slowly left Akane's hut. I started heading for the lake again stopping a few feet from the water as my eyes rested on this mound across the lake where the cave was supposed to be. I brought out my ipod putting the head phones into my ears then hitting play as the music from Final Fantasy began playing. I decided on walking around the lake, which was quicker than I thought. When I reached the cave I looked inside of it and sure enough the entire cave was lit with these glowing rocks embedded in the cave walls. I followed the path to it opened up into a cavern. I saw these exoskeletons of something that looked like was embedded in the walls a long time ago. I slowly approached one of the newer looking exoskeletons as I placed my hand upon it feeling how smooth it felt. Just then I felt a jolt hit my fingers but it didn't hurt. Then another more powerful jolt hit me as my back arced and my head flew upwards as memories of something flew into my mind after a few minutes passed the images stopped and I fell to the ground gasping for air. Once I managed to get my breathing under control I realized exactly what I saw. It was the birth of Akane, Aimi, Ayumu and Akio. A verbal thought was placed in my head saying Guardians. Just then someone came rushing in with red hair as she laid my head in her lap.

"Shawn what happened to you?" Akane asked worriedly

"It's nothing, I just fell down. Can you carry me back to the hut I don't think I can stay aw….." As I passed out before I could finish the sentence.

Akane checked my vitals which were fine so she did what I asked. As she brought me back into her hut she put me to bed as she climbed into her bed. She fell asleep staring at me with a feeling I had lied but decided she would question me tomorrow about it as she closed her eyes falling into a deep sleep.

To be continued.
