The ship soon exited the harbor and they were headed for the salvage area while this was happening Rex explored around the ship and he went to the very top taking over a position for one of the other salvagers on the boat Rex was standing by himself until...
Nia: Hey kid.
Rex: What the hell could you want child?
Nia: Hey calm down I just came to talk to you.
Rex: What honestly makes you think I have any interest in talking to you?
Nia: ...
Rex: Look I'm not the most polite person to talk to let alone have a casual conversation with so for my sanity and for your safety...
He turned around and opened his eyes.
Rex: Leave.
Nia left with her head down but she did learn something he was hurting and certainly not friendly. A few hours later a alarm went off implying they are there.
Salvager: ALL SALVAGERS COME BELOW DECK IT'S SALVAGE TIME!!
Many salvagers ran down stairs and stood in a line Rex stayed back and did not stand in the line.
Salvager: Hey you get in line!
Rex: Don't tell me what to do bastard!
Rex stayed back and soon all the salvagers appeared and they all got ready for the salvage they were salvaging a gigantic ship?! The ship was soon above the cloud sea and they docked next to it.
Malos: Hey brat!
Rex: What do you want?
Malos: You are coming with us!
Rex: Honestly what makes you think I'd go anywhere with the edge squad and their pets?
Malos: Because brat if you don't you don't get your pay!!
Rex: Hmph fine...
Rex joined the drivers as they entered the ship and it was old filled with rust and old looking technology they then reached the bottom of the boat and were tasked with a door.
Jin: You open the door.
Rex: Why can't you do it?
Jin: Only someone of your kind can open the door.
Rex: Someone of my kind what are you implying?
Malos: Just shut up and open the Damn door!!
Rex just turned around and inspected the door there was no doorknob or that looked like it could open he then put his hand to the door and it glowed and slowly opened only to reveal another door.
Jin: Open that one too.
Rex raised his middle finger and pointed it at the drivers before turning around and putting his hand on it opening it and they all walked through. Rex was first to witness what was behind the door it was a red haired girl in a container with a red sword in front of her Rex was lost looking at her she looked really hot!
Jin: There she is the Aegis...
Nia: The Aegis??
Rex completely ignored them and put his hand toward the glowing crystal.
Malos: Hey brat don't touch it!!
Too late Rex touched it completely ignoring them Jin drew his blade and stabbed Rex right in the heart.
Jin: This isn't personal just be glad your not alive to witness what happens next.
Rex fell to the floor and the world went black and he soon woke up in a green forest like area. He sat up and gathered his surroundings and then noticed there was a singular tree on top of a hill where there was a girl. Rex got up and walked towards her there was a bell being rung sounded annoying.
???: The ringing it doesn't stop.
Rex: The bell?
He soon got up next to her to see a tear-jerking view a giant lake and a whole bunch of greenery from the forest with a church in view. Rex after looking at this looked at the girl next to him and she had a glowing crystal in her chest.
Rex: A crystal???... Are you a blade??
Pyra: My name is Pyra.
Rex: Hmm oh right! Uhh my name is-
Pyra: I know it's Rex.
Rex: How did you know...? anyways that doesn't matter where am I and how did i get here?
Pyra: You are in Elysium where we all were born and... you died...
Rex: I'm sorry what?
Pyra: You were stabbed through the heart by Jin...
Rex looked down at his heart and recalled that did happen.
Pyra: Now I know what your-
Rex: Hehehehe...Hahahaha...HAHAHAHA!!!! AH MY WISH HAS COME TRUE I'M FINALLY DEAD!!!!
Pyra was mortified by his reaction was he really this happy to be dead? He was jumping around then he rolled down the hill.
Rex: Ah it feels good to be dead! Anyways are you dead too?
Pyra slowly approached him weary about him that he was so happy to be dead.
Pyra: Well no I'm not but besides that Rex I have a request..
Rex: And what might that be??
Pyra: I want you to take me to Elysium.
Rex: Umm aren't we already there?
Pyra: This world is more of a broken memory of what Elysium is.. but will you?
Rex: How would we even get there??
Pyra: I could give you half of my life force so that you can live gain.
Rex: Thanks but no thanks I'm good.
Pyra: Wait what? but don't you want to live again I mean your young and would have a whole life ahead of you!
Rex: No i would much rather prefer death rather than being alive again.
He stood up rubbing the back of his head Pyra was getting a little angry.
Pyra: But you have a whole life ahead of you just because you hatw the world for your meaningless reasons doesn't mean-
Rex: Meaningless? MEANINGLESS HUH?! WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF MEANINGLESS?!?
Pyra backed up in fear as Rex's eyes grew with fury.
Rex: Spend most of your life alone no one to love or care for you only for you to be a lonely child with no guardians to help you! I wanted someone who could love me! But no everyone who did care about me didn't live long enough they all died!! I have no life in Alrest and I'm sure as hell not going to let someone like you call my reasons for hating Alrest MEANINGLESS!!!
Rex started breathing heavily as tears slightly formed in his eyes he was hurt alone and afraid Pyra stoos back her eyes widened at this Rex soon calmed down and turned away from her.
Rex: Anyways I'm leaving see you later Pyra.
Rex started to walk off then Pyra stopped him
Pyra: Rex I want you to take me to Elysium.
Rex: Pyra I said hell no.
Pyra: What if I could help you what if i gave you a purpose in the world?
Rex: I doubt you could do that.
Pyra: Rex you could become a Driver the Driver of the Aegis!
Rex: Driver of the Aegis eh?
Pyra: Yeah my driver!
Rex: I'll pass..
Pyra: Sorry but I'm doing this for both of our sakes.
Pyra grabbed Rex's hand and put it to her chest crystal and it began to glow Rex was absolutely flustered.
Rex: *Blushing* HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!?!
Soon he was back in the ship Pyra was gone and he had a sword in his hand and a half of a core crystal in his chest.
Rex: T- That BITCH!!!!
