The Mech Lord

Somewhere in the Solar System….

A Spaceship from Federation's Patrolling unit was currently on its usual route towards earth when suddenly the radar caught the signal of another space craft drifting right along their path and heading straight toward them.

No matter how they tried to contact the opposite party, no one answered back.

The Pilot immediately informed the Captain of the ship, Alen Strong.

"What kind of space craft is it? Is it armed?" The captain asked with a calm look.

"No, Sir. It seems to be an evacuation shuttle…."

"Evacuation shuttle? Check out with the headquarters if there is any information regarding this…" The Captain directed and very soon the co-pilot replied.

"Sir, there has indeed been a missing evacuation shuttle from the Space accidents a month ago. The search team couldn't seemed to have found it anywhere and the search was later closed suspecting that the evacuation shuttle might have entered some unsafe wormhole," the co-pilot replied with a strange expression.

The Captain didn't wasted a second after hearing about the missing evacuation shuttle, "Quick! Bring that thing in…"

Soon, the Space Mechs were send out with chained hooks and they attached it to evacuation shuttle before it was pulled into the spaceship.

One of the soldiers maneuvered his Mech to grab the door of the shuttle and tore it apart like a piece of paper. After confirming that there wasn't any danger, the team of medics rushed in to help.

There was only one person inside who seemed to have fainted due to some injury as one could see dried up blood around his head which had turned his sliver white hairs and pale cheeks red. The guy definitely resembled a human but on a closer look, a knowledgeable one could tell he wasn't.

And yes, this person looked like Aiden but who know what he had went through, he seemed a bit different now…but one couldn't actually pin point what the difference was…

…

"Ah!…My head hurts…." Aiden groaned in pain clutching his head.

"Sir, he has regained consciousness…" A voice sounded in his ears and he opened his eyes only to find himself lying in a healing capsule. The space craft was definitely one belonging to Human civilization.

Was he rescued?

He felt his head ache terribly and he couldn't remember anything clearly after the evacuation shuttle was launched from the exploding spaceship. He felt he was forgetting something very important. Vague images appeared in his mind and he seemed to be hearing something…

"Aaahhh!!!" He screamed as he felt his head exploding with the emergence of this strange flashes.

Hurried footsteps sounded and a couple of people rushed in and subdued Aiden as the nurse administered the sedative, slowly calming him down and putting to rest.

"Is he fine or not?" Captain Alen asked looking at the figure resting soundly on the bed.

"Don't be in a rush, Captain. He has just survived from a major disaster and seemed to have suffered a head injury as well. We don't know what happened to him but seeing his reaction, it must not be something pleasant." The Doctor said with a grave face. "So, lets give him some time to rest and hope that he doesn't develop any kind of mental problem or trauma…."

The Captain looked at Doctor and nodded.

….

"Where am I?"

Aiden slowly opened his eyes finding himself under the same ceiling. He was wearing a patient gown and couldn't remember anything about what happened after the evacuation shuttle had left the spaceship.

"You are up?" The nurse asked noticing Leo open his eyes.

"Where am I?" Aiden asked with difficulty. He was feeling pretty weak as if he had not eaten for days.

"This is Federation's Star Finder Ship from the patrolling unit…..We rescued you a while ago…how do you feel now?" the nurse asked as she called and informed the doctor of his awakening.

"I feel really weak and hungry…" Aiden replied truthfully.

"Don't worry, we humans are hospitable towards our guest. We won't let you starve…" The nurse said with a smile.

Aiden felt a bit odd at her words but didn't put it to heart.

A minute later, the food was served and he himself was surprised by how much he ate. He began to wonder just how long had he been out for.

"You like our food?" The nurse asked looking at with a smile.

"Yeah…" He nodded looking at her. He couldn't understand why was she looking at him with such expectation in her eyes. Wasn't this your every day nutritious food which was given to sick people? How could it be good? But, he didn't feel that outrightly denying it was a good idea.

At this moment, Doctor and the Captain of the ship arrived. The nursed took a step back and carrying the tray full of empty plates away.

"I am Edwin Schlesinger, the Doctor of the ship and this man here is the Captain of the Ship, Alen Strong, a part of the Federation's Patrolling Unit. " The Doctor introduced himself as well as the Captain.

Aiden slightly nodded respectfully, he wasn't used to meeting such high level figures.

"Then would you like to tell us what happened during the month you were missing?" Doctor Edwin asked.

'A month?'

Aiden didn't had any idea what he was talking about. He didn't remember anything to begin with and his head began to hurt when he tried to.

"I can't remember anything…." He said with a worried look, wondering if they would believe him or not.

The Doctor and the Captain frowned at Aiden's words and exchanged a glance.

"Well, you have suffered a serious head injury….there is a possibility that your memories have been affected it due to it…." Doctor Edwin said after thinking a bit before further suggesting, "How about we start with some basic information about yourself?"

Aiden nodded.

"Then, Lets start with your name?"

Aiden obviously remembered that, who would forget their name, "I am Leo Allison…"
