Chapter-1:Introduction
XR-243673 was no ordinary ghost operative. He was always smart for his age. They couldn't break him at the ghost academy, but they never knew that. He no longer remembered his name, but he still had memories of his parents. When he was 6 years old, he was taken to the ghost academy. Now the thing is, unlike most kids, he thought that if he behaved nicely, then one day he can go see his parents. When he got older and understood more, he just acted along. They all thought they broke him, but the never did. His only dream was to one day leave. He knew all rouge ghosts were hunted down, but he didn't care. Anyways, today would be his first mission. Zerg were attacking a planet and he was sent with the reinforcements to aid the defence of the planet.
"Why do we need one of these spooks here!" asked some random marine. He couldn't be more than 17.
"Shut up and get to the dropship, Charles!"an older man, probably in is forties, commanded.
"Fine!"the marine, charles, shouted and then mumbled something about ghosts being freaky.
"C'mon Charles! It's not that bad! They just follow orders and don't give a shit if you insult them so they won't kill you. And why does it bother you if they are freaky! Said an other guy, a firebat.
They now reached the hangar. It was full of fighters, dropships, vehicles... everything.
"Where are we supposed to go?!"whined charles again.
"Stop whining or I'll burn your ass" said the firebat.
"Very funny Rob! Haha..."
"There! D-51! That's ours!" said an other marine. There were 4 marines and a firebat.
The quickly got on.
"Wasn't there supposed to be a ghost here?"asked the 3rd marine.
"I am here" said XR-243673.
"Woah! Now that is creepy" said the 3rd marine.
"Told you so." started Charles.
"You have a problem with me Charles?" asked the ghost.
"What? I didn't say that! And how do you know my name?!"
"I'm a telepath, you idiot" this ghost did seem more social than the others...
"Keep out of my mind!"
"Fine by me"
Why does he even wear the helmet, it's not like he needs it now...
"I can take it off if you like, Louis" he said to the 4th marine who did not speak much.
"Wha? Umm.. you don't have to..."
When the ghost took it off, they were all shocked. It wasn't a hardened war veterans face.
It was a 17 year old teenager's slightly excited face. This was the most 'human' looking ghost they have ever seen. He actually had emotions!
"What? Why does everyone stare at me whenever I take my helmet off!" He whined in an annoyed-of -the-world tone."It's annoying! I'm not an animal in a zoo!"
He's young. Thought Louis.
This one isn't even that creepy! He has emotions and isn't a mindless killer!
"True, Charles"
"So umm.. What's your name? I mean, you know ours so mind telling us yours?" asked the 3rd marine, Daniel.
"I don't remember."
"WHAT?!" they exclaimed in unison. Well, all but Louis.
"Do I need to repeat myself? I don't remember. Trust me, if you would be put in that academy, you wouldn't remember your own name either! You want to know what they do there?! It's a nightmare!"
Then he was embarassed. He didn't usually have outbursts like that. In fact, he never did. Now they stared at him more shocked than when he took his helmet off to reveal a normal (-ish) 17 year old guy.
Just great...
