~Time's scars~
When was it that when I opened my eyes...
Things began to change...
When was it that fate once more, threw me into this path?
Do we really have control of our destinies...?
Or we are just pawns to a being greater than our own...
That is what I really want to know…
Clac clac...
Clac clac...
Clac clac
Serge's eyebrow twitches by the annoying noise of the horse's shoe hitting the ground as he tries to nap back in the wagon of the man he was traveling with. Resting his head on top of his palms he recalls the back events that lead him into this current predictment.
Waking up in a strange world that he had no idea where, then encountering that seer and gaining a new form of power.
He sighed as his eyes half opened to watch the sky moving above him. By the cycles of the sun he had concluded that it has been two weeks since he arrived at this new land. After getting washed ashore a few days ago he went into a random direction hoping to arrive into civilisation.
He needed food and money; strangely animals around here seems to carry some form of currency which he knew as 'Poch' thanks to Lazlo back when explaining to him about things of this land.
Even so, Serge found himself working currently as a bodyguard for this old mechant that crossed his path as he was walking.
"You ok back there boy?" Serge fully opened his eyes as he adressed the old man with a nod.
"I thank you again. Although it is hard for me to hire a bodyguard because of buisness but it does help against the bandits living around this area." the man sighed, "Dont worry, this contract is only until we reach Sol-Falena just as we set; since you needed a ride, you have to work your trip."
Yeah, that was what annoyed him the most. But mechant wasnt offering charity; BUT the extra cash wont hurt. Sure the man didnt pay him, he offered travels for his services. Alas he could keep a hundred percent of the loot from wild animals, monsters or bandits they came across.
Serge laid back closing his eyes again as he rests. The climax of the trip had been uneventful but the merchant man told him that lately a group of bandits had been attacking merchants reaching the final path of the mountains toward the capital of the Falena Queendom.
"We are almost there lad. Better get ready."
And like deus ex machina, it did happen. Once they were reaching the exit of the mountain path a fire arrow flew towards him. Its a good thing Serge had good reflexes as he managed to dodge it at the last second making the arrow stab itself into the wood besides him.
"They're coming!"
Serge grited his teeth in annoyance. Quickly, he took out the arrow to stop the fire from spreading. Then turned around as many battle cries were heard from both sides followed by many men charging at them.
A single wagon with two people... against a bunch of bandits; What were the odds? Well of course that would fit if said wagon carried normal people... but there was one individual that wasnt normal at all.
With a smirk, Serge stood wielding mastermune and adjusted his cloak, gift given to him by Lazlo in his departure, he observed his surroundings coming up with a battle plan.
HR-CLAMP
CLOCK
PLOK!
SLASH!
SPUM
A body fell into the ground as it was victim to Serge's mastermune. The swallow's blade sliced through the man's armor killing him instantly. He spun his weapons and took his battle stance glaring his surroundings as the wagon is surrounded by the men.
CLAP CLAP CLAP
The sound of someone's slow clapping caught the attention of everyone. Serge looked to his side as a path was being opened for a large man wearing light armor and ragged clothing. Probably the leader, the blue haired boy thought.
"I am very impressed boy." spoke the man like thunder striking. "Never thought one single boy could take half of my men."
Serge grasped the handle harder tensing up as he glares at the man in high alert.
"Yes I can see it..." the man smiked, "You are no mere boy... your stance has little to no openings... indeed you are a veteran fighter. Makes me wonder of your grownth." He raised his hand, palm side up, before him, "Say... why dont you join me? I asure you that the profit would be better than being just a simple bodyguard."
"...Not a chance..." the blue haired lad replied.
The man shook his head, "Its a shame really. I would hate to kill a good fighter like this. But buisness is buisness..." the man drew his sword and got ready for a duel.
And the battle began...
Serge stood his ground facing the large man, wielding mastermune, he analyse his opponent trying to seize him.
"What's the matter?" the bandit chief spoke, "Come on, show me what you got."
Sensing a trap, Serge stood his ground guarding his defenses as he circle the man around, the later mimicing his actions.
"Not going to do anything? Very well, allow me."
The man dashed toward Serge and this one spun his blade and countered. Both weapons clashed with it other parrying the blows and trying to beach either defense but stopped when they started forcing each other back. Serge did a back jump opening space between them.
"You're good. But I am way better."
The man gave a battle cry as he once more dashed towards Serge with a fierce strike. Serge opened his eyes in surprise and thinking fast he dodged to his right swirling around the man as he also spun mastermune and striking with the back blade. The bandit chief saw it and tried to evade the attack at the last instant. Unfortunately for him the tip of the blade manage to grace him a little.
"Tch, not good." the bandit chief declared as he began to step back examinating his wound.
Taking the chance of distraction, Serge charged and slashed him in a wide arc. Taken by surprise, the man tried to parry the blade but the force was strong enough to push back a man of his side. Regaining his balance, the bandit chief glared at him.
HR-Sadly both fighters had to stop as a horn was played; the loud noise could be heard all around the path making all bandits alert.
"Its the knights, retreat!" All bandits began to flee, the chief how ever before running away he glared at Serge, "My name is Ryan Dron... I want to know the name of the lad that stood his ground against me."
"...Serge..."
Ryan nodded; "We shall meet again boy." And so the man also ran away.
Serge stood there watching the man and his croocks running away. Turning around he could see in the distance a group of horses galoping towards his location. With a sigh he prepared himself for what was to come.

Serge sighed, it was like the 12th time he did so. He remembered how he ended up like this. After that brief enounter with the bandits on the mountain pass they were questioned by the Queendom's knight patrol.
The merchant man, thankfully, abogated for him so not much ordeal was given. Escorted by a small platoon they finally arrived at one of the up town villages around the Palace.
As he laid in the bed inside an inn, his thoughts changed switches to his reasons for crossing into this world. So far he couldnt see it; besides the rune in his right hand, he didnt had any other idea. Was 'she' here too? Reazon why he was dragged through? He swore he heard a voice calling for him but couldnt identify who's.
Suddenly, Serge was snapped off his thoughts as a knock was heard on the door; he let out a sigh and stood to open the it to who ever has come by.
Slowly opening the door he find himself facing a beautiful smile from a beautiful lady wearing the Queen's knights uniform. She seems to be in her late thirties or early forties and still her beauty showed.
"Greetings, I am Lyon vice commander of the Queen's Knights." spoke the woman. "I came to fetch you, you need to come with me to the palace."
Blinking, Serge wondered why he had to go. He doesnt remember that he did something wrong. Or was it because of the bandit attack? Shrugging the boy nodded and stepped out following the woman. Said woman let out a soft giggle as she was observing him.
"My, you are the quiet type also." Serge raised an eyebrow; "You remind me so much of him. Come, let us have no more delays."
HR-"Announcing vice commander Lyon!" door guard yelled.
Slowly both knight and slider walked into the inmense hall of the palance. Serge had to whistle; the place was really big and beautiful. His eyes wandered his suroundings and he didnt realize the woman stopped; after realizing and doing a double take, the boy rushed back to Lyon's side.
The vice commander bowed to her queen, Serge observing did the same. He could see that some knights he didnt know were around the throne room. A slight glance to the queen and he had to gasp in surprise in his thoughts. The queen was a beautiful woman, brown hair adorned her pale features and a look of stern will and sadness could be shown in her eyes; she looked to be in her late twenties or early thirties. Besides her, to her right, he could see a man with silver mid-long hair. He stood proud and looked like a wise veteran fighter and around his mid forties.
"I heard about your little encounter from my knights." The voice of the queen ran out like sweet classic orchestra, stern and strong, yet soothing and classic. Her features changed to one of a soft apologetic smile, "I apologize for that. We've been fighting those bandits for a while. We do not know why they gather at the montain path."
Serge nodded to the queen.
"I had heard that it was you alone that kept them at bay until my knights arrived... Is this true?" Serge nodded once more. "My, I guess it is true; my knights also informed that they had a hard time getting information from you since you seem to be a quiet type." She giggled.
"Thankfully we are used to those types so my men didnt bother much about it." with amusement she looked to her right, "Isnt that right big brother?"
The silver haired man frowned not amused drawing chuckles from the soldiers around the chamber. Lyon looked at Serge sheepishly as Serge looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"You seems to be a good fighters, I personally would like to send an invitation to you." the queen raised her hand towards him, palm side up, "Would you like to join the knights? We could use a man of your expertize."
Serge stood there looking at the queen. He wondered what he should do. Its true he needed money but also he didnt want to be stuck in one place for the rest of his life. He needed to keep moving to find a way to return home or at least find the reazon of the 'why' he is currently here. Looking for words that would not offend; the boy struggles to, but couldnt find a reply. Lyon, realizing his struggles, gave a smile and spoke to the queen.
"Your highness if I may... I believe this boy is an adventurer so he wont be feeling confortable sticking to one place. I can see it in his eyes, he has a reazon for his travels."
"I see." a look of dissapointment showed on the queen's eyes. "It is a shame."
The silver haired man bent towards his queen and spoke something on her ear which made her eyes open in realization. Regaining her composture, she adressed Serge once more.
"You were working as a bodyguard for the merchant you were traveling with, am I right?" Serge nodded, "If is mercenary work, I may want to hire you then for a job."
"You see, we have with us special cargo with a messenge that needs escort towards the harbor to the west. One of my knights will acompany you, this cargo is very important." she smiled, "Of course we will pay you for your services."
Serge tilted his head; should he go for it? Well he needed the money and its better than staying here as a knight.
"What is your decision?"
Serge felt nervious as all eyes fell on him waiting for his desicion. Should he do it? Should he not? Not having anything else to do anyways he glanced toward the queen and nodded. The queen smile grew and then she turned to a general direction and spoke.
"Lenar, please come."
After she said those words, from one of the chamber's courtins an elf woman dressed in the knight's garments stepped out. Her skin was white and her eyes a clear blue. Her blond hair cascaded on her back and swifted with her stepts. She stopped before the queen and looked at her with mayor wisdome in her eyes and a look of determination.
"Yes your highness." the queen nodded in affirmation to her knight, "I will assign you to help this young man escort our cargo to Hershville." The elf girl bowed, "Very well Queen Lymsleia; I will do the task you asks of me."
With a smile, the queen adresses Serge, "This is Lenar, she is an elf embasador that is currently learning about our culture and working as a Queen's knight. She is quite skilled in her swordsmanship so she will be a big help.
Serge observed the elf woman. Indeed she looked like quite the figher. Said elf looked back and offered him a bow in greeting.
"You will depart tomorrow towards the west so please feel free to stay in the surrounding areas; gather many supplies you need and rest. We will see you tomorrow."

It seems today was going to be a beautiful day. Serge gathered his hands behind his head and recalls the events of this morning before he and his new companion started their journey west. A bull walked besides him; and Lenar, the elf knight, walked in the other side of it as it pulls a wagon wich was filled with the cargo. Supposedly supplies to their navy in this place they were heading.
His job was simple, escort this wagon there with the elf and fend off any wild animals, monsters or bandits that dared to interfere. Serge shrugged, easy enough. They were reaching the first river to cross after passing southward from west palace. So far only encounters were wild animals around the lands of the Falena family.
#*-
Serge laid on the wagon resting as Lenar was speaking with some of the fishermen looking for one to help them cross the river. Grass steps alerted him of someone coming; sitting up he faced Lenar which had a worried look.
"It seems none of the fishermen around want to cooperate." she pondered outloud, "This cant be good."
"Are you the ones looking for a boat?"
Serge and Lenar quickly faced the owner of the voice. Serge frowned, he didnt sense this man coming... the man was hidden by a hood and cloak... it was suspicious.
"Yes, we are." Lenar replied wondering about this man also.
"I have a boat with me, please come. I will take you to the other side."
"How much will you charge us?"
"Oh! do not worry. It will be free of charge." the man chuckle, "I cant possibly request money to a Queen's Knight."
"How generous of you, thank you."
Serge wasnt convinced... everything had a catch and this man not asking for something in exchange was suspicious. He felt like giving a close look to this man.
HR-"Where are you heading?"
"Hershville." replied Lenar as she stand in guard besides the man who was stiring the boat.
Serge laid on the deck, hands behind his head, resting his eyes as he listened to them. Its been a while since they started the trip and he wondered when were they going to arrive. He had a bad feeling... they shouldnt had accepted this man's offer so easily... but Lenar, being in charge, did all commands.
"I see. That is awfuly far."
"Won't be a problem."
"Unfortunately my dear, you two wont be reaching there."
"What?" Lenar turned towards the man and this one took off his cloak wielding a sword and dressed in thief clothing.
"You!" Lenar took out her sword.
Serge almost laughed sarcastically, good thing he had suspected. He knew it was too easy to be good. Well one man wont be much.
POOM!
SPLASH!
Ok, scratch that... Serge cursed as another ship was coming close and had shot at them. "Dont move or you'll be dead." Serge and Lenar raised their hands in surrender. A nice ambush this was indeed. As the other boat came close, he could see someone on the front watching them; and it was the same bandit from before; that man, Ryan was it, was observing them arm crossed.
"One of my spies indicated me that the queendom of falena was sending a special cargo to Hershville." the man smirked, "We couldnt let that go, could we?"
"But to think YOU would be one of the escorts was something I didnt expect." the man chuckled, "We meet again, Serge, as I promised."
Serge glared at the man, he could easily take the one besides them out, but the problem was Lenar... also if something happens to the boat the cargo would sink with it... the situation was pefect and in favor for them. Taking a glance towards the elf girl, he knew she was also in his same train of thought.
"Surrender now and relinquish that cargo, or die and we still take it."
"Fiend! Do you think we really will give it to a bandit such as you?" Lenar retorted, "A human who has no honor..."
"Heroic words from an elf. But as you can see you have no other choice."
Indeed they didnt, were Serge's thoughts.
"No..." the elf woman said firm and with a smirk, "It is you who have no choice."
"What?" Ryan yelled, but his eyes opened as the elf raised her right hand showing a symbol in it... a fire rune!? "What are you..."
Serge raised an eyebrow, but then his eyes opened wide in alarm as the elf girl raised her hand and the tattoo glowed a lava red and aimed it towards the cargo. "Jump to the bandit's ship!" She comanded, confused and stunned the boy shook his head and did as told. Not long after, fire bursted from the cargo and the whole place exploded, taking the ship with it.
Serge landed on the deck and faced the burning ship. What the hell was going on? She just blew up the cargo like that.
"Damn you Falenas! So this was a trap all along to lure us out!"
What!? Serge screamed in his mind in exhasperation; So he was just used as bait!?
"Indeed, I should have known... well planed, well planed. Filling cargo with gun powder to make a bomb. I have to give credit to the commander."
Lenar landed gracefully in one of the sidewoods of the ship and aimed her sword to the bandit chief while they were surrounded by the henchmen. Ryan knew they were on loosing odds... Serge managed to fight off half of his men before... and now he is accompanied by this elf woman who seems to be powerful as well. This was a humiliation… being taken out by two people.
"You do realize that we will not surrender? We'll fight you to the death if necesarry."
"Fine by me human." Lenar retorted, this time a cold and fierce look in her eyes. Serge sighed and took out mastermune taking his battle stance.
HR-SLASH
Another man fell to Serge's wapon. They had been drifting downstream as they fought. Serge had lost track of time as the battle intensifies. Some areas of the ship were on flames in result of Lenar's rune. So that's how runes work? He had no idea how they were used, making him unable to use his.
Should he give it a try? He didnt know what could happen. Looking to his right gloved hand, Serge thought wether to try or not. He didnt know what attributes his rune could have so he had to try out sooner or later. He shrugged and decided the former than the later. Taking off his glove, everyone's attention switched to him as he raised his hand.
"You've GOT to be kidding me!" Ryan yelled, "You also have a rune!? Oooooh well played."
Concentrating, he thought 'here goes nothing'. As he willed the rune, this one began to shine and the symbol of the front gate rune appeared with a shime above him. In front of him and above a wormhole opened and from it a monster was dropped. 'The hell?' Serge thought. The monster looked to be bypedal and black. It had spikes on it's back and a spiky tail... and sharp teeth and a long head.
"What the hell is that thing?" yelled one of the bandits. "Its... its so alien to us!"
"Run men!" Ryan yelled.
The monster shrieked and moving fast, it pinned one fo the men and began to take it appart. All the bandits began yo scream in fear as they fleed, most of them jumping into the water. But other were not so lucky as the monster killed them in the most gruesome way.
"W-what have you done!?" Ryan demanded to Serge.
Said boy was also in shock. He expected something cool like what Lenar did... not dropping a chaotic catastrophe to them. He looked at his hand then at the monster as it rampaged with extreme agility around the ship.
Worst thing is that the monster's spit seemed to melt the wood, breaking the boat appart; and some men falling to it's melting liquid. Serge shook his head, with newly determination he wielded mastermune and prepared to fight the monster.
HR-Serge grunted; he flexed his fingers as it gathers sand around it. Pulling himself up he complained about the wounds he had. It was a fierce battle and the ship suffered the most. He twisted around to sit on his bottom as he watches the ship burn and sink in the far distance.
"Bastard... you owe me a ship." Ryan spat towards the boy as he laid on his back and frowned in annoyance.
Serge chuckled at the irony. He recalled when he was fighting the monster. Lenar joined in and so did Ryan. The monster was really strong indeed... but mostly fast. So fast that the monster dodged most of their attacks. Fortunately they managed to fend it off, but sacrificing the ship in the end.
"Sir Serge..." spoke Lenar softly as she rested, "What did you just do... just what is that rune?"
Serge glared at his hand. He didnt know either... how should he reply about something he himself know little of. It was the first time he used the rune as well. Looking up to the other two, he shook his head. He didnt know how to reply and surely he couldnt tell the whole story.
"Its alright Sir Serge. We all have reazons and I know you will talk when you feel like it." Serge gave the elf woman a smile in gratitute.
"Well Serge... you really beated me..." spoke Ryan in defeat. "I lost my men and I am at your mercy..."
Serge and Lenar looked at each other. Was the mission over and done with? Serge frowned though, he was annoyed at how he was used to some plot without being told.
"ATCHOO!" the trio suddenly went in alert as a sneeze appear out of nowhere followed by a black haired girl in white and blew gowns warped in.
"Ara! Not again... where am I now?" the unknown girl took a glance to her surroundings trying to find familiarity. "Uhm... this seems familiar."
"Ahem..." Viki's attention was diverted toward the group as Lenar coughed. The girl yelped in surprise and tried to fix her hair and clothing before giving a bow. "Oh! I am sorry. I didnt mean to surprise any of you. My name is Viki, could you please tell me where I am?"
Serge was about to speak but stopped... he himself didnt know where they were. Fortunately there was someone who did, well two people, and one of them spoke before him.
"You are in the Falena Queendom miss, southwest from Sol-Falena I believe." Lenar spoke.
"Oh!? Oh marvelous! I wonder how Prince Freyjadour and his sister is doing! I wish to pay them a visit!"
"You know them ma'am?"
"Oh yes! I used to help him in a war... I just hope this time period is after it though."
"Time period?" Ryan asked confused, Lenar was also. Serge had his share of time travel so he was not surprised.
"Oh, never mind! I'll take you all to the palace!"
"Uhm... how? We have no transport and we are very far away to arrive today by foot." Ryan said sarcastically.
"Oh! It will be no problem!" Viki said with entusiasm, "I'll be easy! Just like this~"
Viki rose her staff happily making the other three wonder what were her intentions. A glow began to appear on the gem of the staff, "Ready! Set! GO!" And just like a blink, they were gone.
HR-Back in the queendom, Lyon stood before Frey as she began giving her report regarding the fight against the bandits, "Prince, it seems our plan worked. Lenar and Sir Serge encountered the bandits lured by the trap we set."
Freyjadour, prince of Sol-Falena and General commander of the Queen's Knights nodded. Lyon smiled for a bit then frowned.
"But... our scouts lost contact with them down river... it seems they are missing in action after the explosion of their main ship." Frey looked up at her with worry. He felt bad he had to use the boy like that without telling him, and now he felt worst; specially with the loss of Lenar, things weren't good."
"Thank you Lyon." The woman nodded happily but then went sad as she sees her prince walk away in worry and guilt and took a glance outside through the window.
HR-
"Uhm... this doesnt look like the palace at all..." Ryan was the first to speak of all of them. His voice had a tone of sarcasm.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" Viki repeatly said as she bowed in apologize, "It seems I made a mistake again!"
Serge sighed; It seems he had been doing it alot as of late. A quick glance to Lenar, he could tell the woman was worried as hell. It seems Viki dropped them in some sort of cave. The light was dim, and the few iluminations were coming from some kind of glowing crystals. The black haired blinking sorceress seemed to had a hicup in her spell that dropped them inside this place which he didnt know where. Worst case is that she couldnt use it again; it seems that something is jamming her 'blinking rune', as she calls it, from casting another spell. Confirming that complaining and standing there would not do them any good, he began to walk to a general direction.
"Sir Serge, where are you going?" The boy turned around and looked at them, "Staying here and complayning would no nothing... I'll go ahead and try to look for a way out... you all can come with me if you like... otherwise stay here." The boy said with comanding voice. It was the longest they had heard him speak, and he was right.
When Serge didnt get any reply back, he turned once more and resumed his walk. He smiled a bit as he began hearing steps behid him confirming that the other three accepted to follow him. Following the only lighted path, the boy was hoping to find the exit. He didnt show it but he was worried to death as well.
Hours passed and nothing... it was like a never ending path. Viki was tired, Ryan was cursing his luck and Lenar was just normal. But a close look at her, you could see that her forehead was sweating showing her worry and nerviousness, she just knew how to hide it in expression.
Few more hours and nothing; fortunately there was some light at the end of the tunnel. Serge just hoped that it was not THAT tunnel... Serge dashed to it making the others question his sudden rush, but followed.
As soon as he crossed the 'door', Serge stopped as he found himself facing a huge cliff. He gulped as some pebbles fell.
"Serge, you ok man? What's with the sudden dash?" Serge looked back to Ryan and pointed to the cliff. The man had to whistle at the deepness. All the way they could see a huge hole and the rest hided by the shadows.
Serge could see a path going down around the cliff in a spiral. Nothing else to do he took his chances and followed it with everyone.
HR-It was dark, really dark. He could not see anything. Serge had a hand on the wall for support as he walks along the way.
"OUCH! hey watch where you're stepping on!" yelled Ryan.
"I'm sorry..." Viki's apologetic voice came out.
Serge kept going and suddenly hit solid wall.
"Are you ok Sir Serge? I heard a noise."
"I'm ok..." Serge said rubbing his nose as a tear wanted to come off his eyes. He would nod but she cant see him.
Touching around, he was looking for an entrance or something. Serge concentrates around said wall, "Help me out here." He requests to everyone else and they nod.
"Whaaa!" Viki cried as a wind like noise came out and she fell foward through something, "Ow ow ow!"
"Are you alright miss Viki?"
"I think I hit my nose in the floor..."
"What did you do girl?" said Ryan.
"I dont know, I was touching around then pressed something and suddendly there was no wall."
Serge frowned, touching around his way to Viki's voice he managed to go inside what semed to be a door. He took a few steps foward and stopped suddenly as a small light illuminated in front of him. With a -pum- noise, all lights around him came to life illuminating the place.
A gasp of wonder from Viki, Serge could observe his suroundings. Metal... everything was made of metal... catwalks, halls... everything reminded him of chronopolis. Was he inside a building like that? But this world seemed to be far back in technology to have something like this. Serge scratched his head puzzled but kept going down the hallway.
"Where are we? I've never seen something like this..."
"Me neither Sir Ryan... what is this place?"
"Uhm... I think I saw something like this once... but cant remember." Viki pondered.
Serge payed no attention as he kept going. Time passed, many crossings and turnings taken; and then they arrived into a large room. A room that looked like a command center. As he recals chronopolis, this seems to be something similar; it had the chairs and panels and crytal square things that were called 'monitors'. And behind all that one single chair that hovered above the rest... it seems it was the comanding chair.
Walking to it as the rest do their own exploring, Serge wondered how something like this could be here... was this some kind of secret technology? Or did he crossed into another dimension wihtout him knowing.
As he stood before the supposed commanding chair, he saw the planels and gasped. In one of the controls there was a symbol... And the symbol was similar to the one in his hand. Taking off his glove he took a close look at the back of his hand, then down to the control panel.
Curiosity took the best of him as he slowly hovered his hand on top of the symbol. Suddenly he gasped calling the attention of the rest as the front gate rune began to glow in sync with the pannel's symbol.
Everything came to life; the pannels in the hole place and the monitors. Soon after everything began to shake as if they were going through a quake making some of them loose his or her balance.
"Serge what did you do!?" The boy shook his head not knowing either.
"Pleeeaaase make it stoooooop!" Viki cried as she tries to hold herself with something.
In the monitors, letters indicating statuses, options and loading process showed up. Serge began pressing all buttons on the plannel trying to look for a way to shut it off.
-master computer active-
-automatic system startup-
-all system green-
-anti gravitational engines seems to be having problems-
-analysis indicate that something is holding the vessel-
-starting warp drive-
-please choose the objective to warp to.-
There was only one place that crossed Serge's mind as he read the letters in the monitor...
-warp place accepted-
-coordinates found-
-beginning escape warping system-
And suddenly they felt dizzy as their inners were took into a spin.
HR-BOOOM!
Lazlo dashed out of his hut as a loud thunder like noise exploded above them. Looking up in alarm he could see a large black hole beginning to open just above the beach line. From the hole he saw something come out of it. Something he has never seen in the 170 years of his life. It looked like some kind fo ship... but it's form was alien to him. His eyes opened wide as an explosion came out from bellow and the ship began to fall towards the water.
HR--WARNING-
-Warp drive malfunction-
-Anti-gravitational system malfunction-
-Rune engine malfunction-
-Loosing altitute-
The ship crashland on the beach in front of deserted island.
-Status analysis-
-Repairs needed as soon as possible-
-Systems on standby-
"What was that all about..." Ryan slowly stood up. "I feel as if I was thrown into a vortex or hit by a shredding gust from a wind rune."
"I feel like throwing up..." Viki whined.
Serge slowly stood looking at the monitors. The main ones were showing around the ship and he recognised the place. And in cue, he saw Lazlo running towards them from the hit hut stopping just before the beachline.
Boy... how will he explain this one...
HR-Lazlo stood in front of the unknown large ship, or so he thought it was. He was wondering who or what the hell fell in his home. He then got in alert as some kind of door fell. His jaw dropped as Serge walked out smiling sheepishly and scratching the back of his head. Lazlo crossed his hands before him and frowned at the slider boy. Serge had to wince as he saw Lazlo looking at him not so happy about this sudden surprise, he was tapping his foot on the sand waiting for an explanation making Serge sigh.
Lazlo, how ever, had to stop as he looked behind Serge to regard his new companions. His frown switched to a pleasant yet surprised smile as his eyes fell in one individual he hasnt seen in many years. Said girl was waving happily back at him.
Viki was happy to see Lazlo again, its been a while since she last saw the leader of the island liberation rebellion and was glad to know the boy was doing well; even if he hasnt changed one bit.
Lazlo looked at them all, nodding to the two other new faces and signaled them to follow him to his hut.
As they began to walk following the boy, the sun shun in the sky, being reflected by the ship's hull.
HR-~Reminiscence~
And so the journey began...
Showing me a new light and a new hope.
With new companions to my side...
Coming with me on this journey.
What lies for me in this path?
I still do not know...

Author's notes:
Second part is over. I hope you all liked as much as i was writing it. Serge had his encountered with another tenkai star of old and had his little adventure.
And yes, dear cute viki showed up and thanks to a mistake of hers, Serge found himself in a new situation. What is that misterious ship and where did it come from? The story is just beginning.
Also, pay no mind to my cameo reference from the gate rune, it was just for humor and plot device.
P.S.- I don't know why but the mute main character jokes has become the running gag of the humor toward Serge as of late. It just… fits…
