Ragol: Forest
Natsume was sitting on a rock in the forest area, watching a little boy playing
with butterflies. "Rallyhn, don't go too far now sweetie!" called Natsume with a smile of her face, although concern shone in her eyes. Rallyhn was now six years old, he had pure white hair, and red eyes with pale skin. Being albino and having little pigment in his skin, he had to play in the shade of the trees. He had his hair in a long, loose style, and wore a white force's robe with blue stripes on it. Rallyhn smiled and looked over at his mother.
"Okay, mommy!" he called back.
Natsume smiled and went back to reading a very old looking book. Rallyhn walked over to a stream and noticed something yellow was in it. He reached into the cool water and pulled out an unconscious baby Rappy. He carried it in his arms as he ran back to his mother.
"Mommy, mommy, look at what I found, I think its hurt!" he yelled while running to his mother. Natsume smiled at Rallyhn and then looked at the Rappy as she put it in her lap.
"It's okay Rallyhn, this young one is just resting. I think it fell out of its nest, but I haven't seen Rappys here today," She closed her eyes and cast Resta on the Rappy. The Rappy woke up and jumped off of her lap. Rallyhn slowly reached out and petted the Rappy on the head and it nuzzled against his hand.
"Mommy, can I keep it?" pleaded Rallyhn. Natsume smiled at her son, but shook her head.
"Sorry baby, you can't take it home, it's still a baby, and it has a home. I know you'd be sad if someone took you away from me."

Back on Pioneer 2, Dr. Montague was sitting in the lab, looking at a monitor, viewing Death in the VR training system "It's incredible, it's like his body was built for extreme combat under any condition. He's torn through
every monster that has come in his way like a knife through butter. It's hard to believe that he was once human," he muttered to himself as he leaned back and closed his eyes.
"I remember it like it was yesterday..."
7 years ago...
"Doctor!!! hurry, we have an emergency!" yelled a lab worker. Montague ran to the room and saw the remains of a human male, his head and most of his torso was the only things there; his arms and legs were missing.
"What in the world happened to him?" demanded Montague.
"A group Delbiters attacked this man and his partner, and tore off his limbs, but his partner sacrificed himself setting up a telepipe for this man to come back while he was still breathing," he replied. Montague thought for a second before speaking.
"This body is not stable, looks like he'll be the test subject for our first bio android, transfer his head onto the body and put a robotic brain into the skull after transferring his mind into the robotic brain and put his necessary organs into the android body, and just in case... his reproductive systems too. If were going to keep him alive, we might as well let him be able to have kids."
The doctors spent the next few hours trying to integrate all the organs and computerized systems into the robotic body. When they finished, the lungs were left out, so they put a device that would put direct oxygen into the blood stream instead of the lungs doing it, and after that they tried to wake him up.
"Hunter Jay, wake up," Montague said to the unconscious android. The hunter sat up and looked around.
"Uh... what happened? My head feel dizzy and my body feels different, like I'm not even
in it." Montague walked up to him and stared directly into his eyes.
"Your body was crippled beyond help, so we put you into an android's body. Most of your organs were put in, but most of the ones that would not be vital for your new body were left out. Hunter Jay, you are officially dead, so with this new body and new start, you choose your new name."
The hunter looked around and gave a slight laugh.
"My new name is Death, I cheated mine and this new body compliments my new body. It will take some time to get use to it, but I thank you for saving me...where is my partner Dusk?" Montague looked at the ground.
"Nothing remains of Dusk except her armor which were recovered and delivered to your home." Death spent no time thinking of the statement as he quickly got up and grabbed his gear, heading towards the surface transporter.
"Nothing will save those Delbiters the pain and suffering that I'm about to deliver onto
Them," said Death in a blind rage as he went to the surface.
Pioneer 2: Present
Death had finished his training and then sat on the ground "Okay doc, turn off the VR as soon as I get to the transporter." Death entered the VR control room and looked at Montague "How are the results?" Montague handed Death the results that had been etched on a piece of paper.
"Your synchronization with the robotic body keeps going up, your body is as just coordinated as a normal body, so I officially declare the experiment a success. Bio androids are creatable and maintainable," Death laughed a bit and patted Montague's back "So, where's the kid at? He's old enough to start training now."
Death arrived at Natsume's quarters and rang the bell. Natsume answered the door wearing her nightgown.
"Hello Death, sorry about my appearance, we were about to go to bed." She led Death in and offered him a seat
"Sorry to come so late, but it's time to take Rallyhn for his training," he said. Natsume looked at him a little worried
"I'll allow him to leave tomorrow," she replied. Death laughed a bit and then lay down on the couch, shutting sown shortly after saying goodnight. Natsume patted his shoulder and turned off the lights before going to her room and climbing into bed.
The next morning Death awoke to see Rallyhn on the floor in front of him doing homework.
"Need help with that?" asked Death. Rallyhn smiled and sat next to Death with the work in his hands. Death looked at all the problems and told Rallyhn all the answers, getting it done in a minute. Rallyhn got up and took his homework and came back with a very small Mag.
"I'm ready to train teacher," Rallyhn replied showing the mag to Death.
As Death and Rallyhn approached the teleporter, a young female Newman ran up to them, slightly out of breathe
"Rallyhn, are you going to the surface to train? Can I come too, pwease?" Rallyhn looked up at Death who nodded slightly. The three all went into the teleporter to Ragol's surface.
"Okay kids, while on the surface, you have to follow three rules: One, don't get separated, two, don't try to be a hero, and three, don't get surrounded," said Death.
"Yes sir!" said the two kids in unison. Rallyhn walked up to Death and gently tugged on his arm
"Teacher Death, this is Rika, my friend from school," said Rallyhn as Rika bowed slightly and giggled.
"What kind of Mag do you use Death?" asked Rika. Death laughed a little as a Chao popped up from behind his shoulder and flew around him.
"My mag is a Chao" Rika walked up to the Chaos and patted its head, and the chao squeeked "chao, chao!" and then sat on Rika's shoulder. Rallyhn patted the Chao also, but it stayed on Rika's shoulder.
Death walked over to a switch and unlocked a door
"Why do these things constantly relock... it will forever be a mystery, come on kids!" The children followed Death into the area and four Boomas popped out of the ground, ready to attack. "Rallyhn, Rika, use Foie on the Boomas" said Death quickly. Rallyhn and Rika stood next to each other and released the fireballs onto the Boomas as they closed in. As each one died, Rallyhn felt like he was doing well until a Booma popped out of the ground from behind him and struck him in the back.
"Ahh!" Rallyhn cried as he fell to the floor, looking up at the Booma. Suddenly, a blade stuck out from the back of the Booma as it fell to the floor with Death behind it.
"Are you okay?" Death asked as he reached down to help Rallyhn up.
"Yes, but the Booma hurt me pretty badly," Rallyhn replied as Death looked at Rika.
"Cast Resta on him, and he'll be ok in a second," Death said. Rika walked over to Rallyhn and cast Resta, healing Rallyhn's wounds from the Booma attack. After going through the forest for a while longer and defeating more Booma's and wolves, Rallyhn and Rika looked at Death with fatigue setting in.
"Can we go back Death?" they asked in unison. Death went into his item pouch and opened a telepipe.
"Okay, training is over for today, but meet me in front of the medical center first thing in the morning," said Death as he entered the pipe with the kids nodding as they followed.
