Chapter 4 - The nightmare that lasted for 10,000yrs

The s.c.s crew was sent to the planet ter'gra which once had a highly sofisicated civilisation but one day it was all destroyed in a blink of the eye the surrounding powers of it's spiral Galaxy have never tried to claim the planet as part of it's territory but dump whatever they can on it's surface.

The atmosphere of ter'gra is uninhabitable to all life forms even machines have trouble operating on it's surface. The mission of the s.c.s was to locate, investigate and retrieve the source of a distress signal that was directed by the federal government science ministry satilite.

The source of the signal was found it was a ship whose disign was never seen before it's only occupant was a Humerian male or at least that was the doctor's conclusion.

It's occupant was found a coffin shaped cryro sleep pod, due to misjudgment on the part of the science officer the life of the occupant was put on jeapordy, but due to the fast action of our captain the life in the pod was saved. Pilot's log Sheena mechanicia.

In the s.c.s medical bay the occupant of the broken ship sleeps on a bed that's surrounded by a restraining force field, the doctor gerg set up the barrier because he had an experience of being brutally attacked by a recently thawed out confused cryo-sleep paitient, he looks at his paitient wondering what is going on in his dream that causes him such distress.

In the mind of the sleeping paitient, he looks at a creluean sky as he looks on the horizon from the window of a plane, he is one of 300 passengers of the filight he turns his attention to the seat on his right a woman dressed in white and green garments is seated she tugs his arm asking for something, her face is as blank as white paper.

"It's like your worried, don't worry about me the mission will only be to another Galaxy it's not the end of the world"

she tries comforting him as face begins to take shape only her mouth and nose are clear adding up to her black hair.

a crack the on the floor opens up and sends him falling down onto a city below that is empty ,he looks around trying to make sense of his situation all of a sudden the city is ruined and he is in a combat outfit and surrounded by soldiers that have smoke coming from their bodies they close in and freeze, then crumble into dust.

Taking a step forward heading toward a door at the end of the Street he hears a cry of a child turning to the sound he sees a little boy crying over his parents corpses. He laments what has the world come to.

He proceeds to the door opening it there are people in millions standing in front of a stage a dark cloudy firgure steps to the stage and the crowd cheer's, it's eyes meet with the occupant filling him with rage. He leaps through the crowd and pulls out a sword from a sheath and cuts the cloud from it's head, it vanishes.

The sky turns black and so does his sight,a voice is calling out to him it's a an old man's voice he sounds concerned

"agent 231, thank God your awake you were badly hurt on your final battle with the armoured phantom. I have some news for you one about the phantom and the its about the Terra 2 ,it sent a signal containing a message addressed to the people of Earth, from commander Tanya it says they are under attack and we should not migrate over'.

"Where are you going? Please your body is not stable to travel in hyper space you cannot be allowed to go the Terra 2"

the old man stands in front of the occupant trying to board the ship that's about to launch, he falls down and the dream sequence repeats.

Blue sky through a window views from a passenger plane, the occupant turns to his right to see Tanya seating her face is bulred and not clear, her hair is a raideint black, she looks at him smiles

"mercury are you really worried about me, that is very strange for you to be concerned about others it's new, hey why didn't you get yourself a world government tattoo?."

The floor of the plane cracks and he falls from the plane, landing in a city filled with people, each person has a tattoo that's visible on their fore head, a news bulletin is played on the screens of the city, his face is posted as a very dangerous criminal and is wanted dead or alive prefebly dead with a reward of ten billion, the eyes of the people around him turn on him.

They rush him and are easily repelled by him then soldiers come and open fire on him his body is pierced by bullets from head to toe, and then the wounds close up immediaty and the whole city is engulfed in Golden flames leaving all those people around him smoking in the positions there were in and they turn to Ash.

he starts walking toward a door he, but hears a childs cry turning to the child he picks up the boy and heads to the door, a flash of memory raising the boy up the boys graduation, Mercury doesn't seem to age.

A crowd of people wait for someone to come , the a figure of a woman with horns steps to the stage in black and crimson smoke, she gazes to the crowd and her gaze meets mecury, and an instant he reaches the stage and cuts her in half with a sword her body turns to dust and a swarm of metal that was the dust garthers causing panic in the crowd it tansforms into a dragon and files to mecury.

A bolt of lighting from Mercury's sword disintegrated the swarm, but leaving him unconscious. He wakes up in a room an old man calls to him telling of the fate of the Terra 2, he gets up from the bed and runs through the Halls of the medical facility leaving the building and heading to the shuttle that was waiting to launch.

The old man stops him urging mecury to recover first before going to rescue his grand daughter, Mercury collapses the dream goes to a point in Mercury's past he is in a tube filled with liquid some shady people in lab coats seem to be in a hurry and one of them pushes a button on a panel and the liquid in the tube drains down.

Mercury is the put on a stage a man dressed in a business suit makes an announcement to the crowd of wealthy looking people,'ladies and gentlemen after many years of reasearch our corporation has finally made the ultimate life forms , from the tragic terroist attacks that left many civilians dead we found 231 that candidates that we used I'm our experiments I present to you the mecury series of the future of military warfare, these beings will be obedient to whoever is registered in their memory's network so let's start the bidding!.

The man sells 230 of the many men and women in glass container tubes when it come to 231, Mercury bust out of his restraints and leaps to the ceiling breaking it and leaving a hole behind he makes his escape to a City square.

A news broadcast announcement is made and he is labeled as a very dangerous criminal a loud whistling sound echos through the city and it is soon engulfed in flames, running through the fire a young boy cried as his mother is trapped under the rubnle of a burning building, Mercury reaches out to help by lifting the heavy rubble off but is soon shot in the head .

"Hold up something is amiss here why are my memories jumbled up like this? Let's see here" a voice speaks distantly fading as mercury begins to wake up.

Coming back to the old man before the launch Mercury gets up looks at the old man smirks' kid I'm invincible what's a little hyper space to me bullets or nukes couldnt kill me besides your little girl is asking for help, she and all the people on Terra 2 need a super hero right now and I fit the mold. If you're that concerned about your teacher then I will get into cryo-sleep just to be safe ok'

"Oh yes this isn't my memory I recognize that old fart yes isn't it that... " The voice speaks echoing in Mercury's waking mind.

He gets into the sleep pod and is frozen there then the pod is loaded onto the spaceship named Rex and is launched into deep space, it's hyper engines start up firing it into hyper space but the engines fail in mid hyper space filight, bringing the ship out of hyper space all of the ships systems turn off and it slowly drifts through the endless sea of stars toward its final destination after 10,000yrs.

It passes by a fleet of warships that shoot at it heavily damaging it's exterior flinging it towards the planet ter'gra.

"Oh yes now this is my own memory" the voice slowly fades out as the scene shifts

Eventually the ship crashes on planet ter'gra and it's systems boot up and Begin broadcast an emergency distress signal that is picked up by nearby federation satilites that attracts attention from all other powers surrounding the Galaxy.
