Mex nodded to me and then offered me his hand.
I grinned and took it. Both of us looked at each other, and finally, Mex grinned back.
"The girls have told you this more times than you care to hear, but don't you leave me here all alone with these women!" Mex told me, and I rolled my eyes but smiled.
"Don't worry; this fight will be nothing," I told Mex, but he shook his head.
"You know what I am talking about. I know that you are about to get your memories back, and that is never easy. Memories can be painful, but just remember that you are going to make so many more great ones here," Mex told me as he let go of my hand and then turned back to the elevator.
"Where are you heading?" I asked Mex.
"To go help steer this thing. Kieta is down there right now, but I will need to collect Hydie to get us really moving. Once you engage, we will start heading further out to sea, and you can catch up, okay?" Mex asked, and I nodded as I turned to the ladder.
I started crawling up fast and made it to the hatch easily, opening it up. There was an immediate smell of saltwater, and I could feel the wind blow down on me, but the air was electric.
As I pulled myself up, Wataluga and Grogvel were there waiting for me. The two merged with me without saying a word, but the barrier was very close.
I dropped the hatch, and it closed, becoming one with the ship's surface like it was never there. That was a nifty trick and good to keep others out, but now was not the time for admiring the craftsmanship.
The barrier was invisible, but we were less than thirty feet from it, and I walked to the front of our massive Silver Submarine.
[I don't know what is going to happen, but just know that I am your friend, no matter how jaded of a past we have had. Mark, on the other hand, is a different story. You will see him for the rat that he has always been. I don't know what the rest will be, but just remember that you will be coming back to fight. Everyone here, including myself, needs you to come back from this.]
Harold's words were the last thing I heard as I crashed into the wall that I couldn't.
The world went dark.
[Memories Of Zacks Life- Childhood]
I opened my eyes and stretched my arms, letting out a long yawn. It was Saturday, and time to go see what was for breakfast.
I had stayed up late playing Dragon Age, almost beating it for the second time. The game interested me because of how your choices affect the game.
If I kept up like this all weekend, I would be tired for school, but it didn't matter. The work they gave me was too easy, and I finished it long before any of the other students did.
I got dressed and headed to my kitchen. I needed something easy to eat so I could go back to working on my own project.
I was sixteen, but I had been living alone for the last year. I didn't think about it that much, plus aunt Paula owned the shop below me, and I didn't have to pay rent.
My parents were killed coming back from a trip while I had been staying with my aunt. I had been a mess for the last year and rarely went out besides school and basic needs.
I did have a friend that visited, but Mark was a bit of a loner. Still, it was nice to talk to someone outside of school.
Most kids didn't like me, but I gave none of them any thought. I wanted to work towards a future where people didn't need to die, but there was so much that I didn't know yet.
I walked into my kitchen and headed to the fridge. There was some milk and a bowl of fruit that I hadn't put there.
Paula must have stopped by and dropped off some groceries, something she did more often or not. I was told I wouldn't grow strong without proper meals, but I wasn't really concerned.
The project that I was working on would hopefully remove the need for most human needs. I didn't know if it was possible now, but one day when I got older, I would figure a way to see them again.
I grabbed an apple, headed back to my room, and turned my laptop on as I took a bite out of it. I sat down as the computer started up and looked at the mess of papers on my desk.
There were numerous references notes I had taken about the study of vibrations, Energy, and how humans are made up of vibrating layers of energy.
Inside of this mind, I was watching myself, and I could hardly believe what I was seeing. How was I so damn smart, and why did I feel like a moron most of the time?
I was floating above myself, but I had a limited view. I couldn't leave my body nor look around outside of the child version of myself.
Then there were my parents, but I seemed to have gotten through it, maybe. I still didn't understand the point of me seeing this now, but then there was a knock at my door.
The younger me got up, headed through the kitchen, and opened the door to Mark and a much younger-looking Helsin Zero. Both my younger self and I were confused as to why this person was there, but Mark spoke up.
"Zack! I talked my dad into getting a hold of Mr. Zero! I told him all about what you had told me, and he is very interested in what you are working on!" Mark told me, and the younger me got very excited and big-eyed as the young man walked into my apartment without being invited.
So this is where it all started.
