BASTION

When he stepped his foot inside of the main headquarters of SPIRAL X organization, its like he had witnessed heaven on the surface. Beautiful structures, working labs and the technologies that the headquarters is filled with. And the training room.

Its like he had seen his home. His new home. He's the new recruit of SPIRAL X, and he is the youngest to be in the organization with the age of 19.

And yet when he looks around with his new home, its like flashes of lost memories is striking his mind like a thunderous lightning hitting a tree. His original home, his old home and the home where he was born.

Unfortunate events causes him to leave off his planet only by himself, they don't know who his parents are. Even The General doesn't know. The step of his heavy metallic shoes can be herd throughout the whole entrance room. And the general noticed.

He turns around to Max, the new agent of SPIRAL. When he turned around, Max was immediately in nervous. Hi hides his shaking hand behind him as The general slowly walks towards him, looking down at him like he was a little kid.

"Follow me, agent." The general had spoken to Max. The black mustache General swiftly walks across the headquarters leading Max to his General's office. Max follows him standing straight with his body like a soldier.

The general stands in front of his office door, the door was white with spiral-like shaped mirror on the upper center of the door. He just stood there and a blue scanning laser out from the door itself appears in front of them. And the door opens.

"WELCOME, GENERAL. GARIUS ERRYL" Ella, the AI speaks as she was the one who automatically opens the door. Max had already seen this kind of stuff before, but this would his second time seeing all of this and yet it feels new to him.

"Come and sit down, Agent Elson. I know you're tired as hell from your excellent mission!" Gen. Garius invites him to sit. He reaches for the chair in front of General Garius's table.

"So how was the mission, Max? As you said earlier.. You got chased by a Ghost Operator am I right, Agent Elson?" Garius asked him.

"Yes sir. But I already took him out, sir." He replies.

"That's a fine job, Max. But did it ever occurred to you that you may think they would notice his body lying down on the ground right near their secret base in Eldras?"

"Yes sir." He said.

"Alright.. I'm just asking, kid. Now… the important part is where is the vials?" General Garius asked Max.

Max takes the vials of red chemicals inside of his shoulder bag and handed it over to Garius's hands across the table.

"Mmmmhh.. Just what we wanted. Do you realize what this thing, Max?" The general asked him again.

"Yes sir. Base on my research on my way to Planet Eldras. Those vials of chemicals are indeed, X-101 Syrum. It said it can power an advanced tech bombs that eradicate an entire planet with only one vial of X-101, sir. And I've managed to retrieve five of those. That's all I could find on their lab, sir." Answered Max.

"You're correct, Max. A Ghost Operator secretly stole one of this before they eradicated Planet M'rus. They might have used one of this to eradicate that planet successfully using their Ghost fleet's Blaster to completely destroy M'rus once and for all. The Council ordered SPIRAL to take back X-101 from Ghost."

The general said.

"By tomorrow you will be sent to another mission, thanks to your mission to Eldras. And don't worry too much about that mission, kid. You're not going to be alone with that one, I guarantee you that." The general said.

Max gives the general a confused look on his face.

"Wait I'm going to have a partner in my new mission, sir?" Max asks The General.

"Are you a deaf or what? Yes you're going to have a partner in this mission. You need to get the information about Ghost's new weapon that they are currently making right now on The Planet Xenkor. And I need at least the details on the weapon and the ENERGY that they are going to use to be able to power that weapons as well. So good luck on your mission, kid. I have my hopes up with you, Max. Don't let me down on this one."

Max felt as little inspired to what the general said.
