Ash"tar traveled though this barron, wastland for ten years holding out hope, even a sliver of hope that he would find his sister.

His legs were weak and scared from the climb up the craggy mountains of Un " I have no more water, all of my food is gone and i have pa.s.sed beyond the beyond and do not know where i am."

finally his legs gave out and he fell to the ground with a thud Ash"tar heard the sound of his right arm shaddering as it impacted with a ma.s.sive stone that layed on the ground beside him.

Ash"tar screamed as the impact as broke both of his legs, his body numb, crippled and broken Ash"tar layed there. "The pain. it is unlike any i have felt before." Ash"tar said no he had felt worse his mind flashed to a lab and two men in white suites stabbing him with tazers the lighting burned his skin and numbed his body.

" So Subject 12 will you complay?" Ash"tar heard faintly from his memory " yes i will take the name Ash"tar."

the last thing he saw was a tall thin man his skin a dark grey walking slowly up to Ash"tar bending down his ma.s.sive hands covered Ash"tars body. " take to Him." the figure said his voice low and monotone.

Ash"tars eyes closed and he pa.s.sed out from pain.

after waking up from a sleep that felt like hours Ash"tar found himself in a ma.s.sive cave around him were ma.s.sive grey figures " where am i?" Ash"tar said

there was silence as all Ash"tar could hear was the tapping of a can coming down a stair " Boy, you have awoken at last. you have been asleep for ten days. crying out the name Ki"la over and over." the figure said as he stood in front of Ash"tar

he was tall and thin, his skin was a dark grey and his eyes were a pure white

" she is my sister and i am looking for her." Ash"tar said to the figure

the figure nodded slowly " yes, very n.o.ble for your breed of Ash"tars." the figure said

Ash"tar paused " what do you mean?" he asked the figure. who looked at him confussed " intresting your memory files have seemed to be erased or altered in some way. the subcode preventing you from leaving Hanzos Commoned must have been overwritten when the Terrain Repbic stormed Hanzo Castle of Naz"zaree two hundred and fifty years ago, during that time many Ash"tar Protecter Units were altered or memory wipped" the figure said

What is a Ash"tar protecter unit?" Ash"tar said gritting his teeth and gripping his blade

the figure replied " they are genricly cloned super mutants each given powers and those that have a prefect gene code are picked to be a Ash"tar Protecter Unit with then they will be injected with a orgision known as Feaster bonding you with his body."

getting tried of this Ash"tar cried out " what are you talking about! i have never served Empire Hanzo , i am not a clone and Feaster just recenalty escaped"

the figure replied " really then what is your most recent memory?" Ash"tar paused and said " i don"t know."

The figure replied " that is because your memorys have been blocked."

Ash"tar nodded " ok, then who are you?"

the figure removed his hood to reveal his head to be made of gears and wires as well as other moving parts

" i am the Hollow Man the ruler of Empty s.p.a.ce and to answer the second question Feaster has been alive for over ten thousand years and is a ancient super wepon created by the Quinn. he was just brought into physical form by Xeno Corp and Project Zero Hour."

Ash"tar sighed and sat down saying " ok, i don"t undersrand anything any more."

Hollow man sat next to him his head buzzing and turning " what is wrong?" he asked Ash"tar who looked at him with a confussed look.

Hollow man stood up and walked back seveal steps his eyes rotating in cicrles turning red and green " you seem upset. could i have said something wrong?" Hollow man asked

Ash"tar stood up and said " can you tell i am holding back a urge to punch you?" Ash"tar asked him Hollow man nodded " yes, you seem quite mad, your Kyi is raising with a unhealthy amount of anger, , darkness and confusion." Hollow man said

"Of course it is! i was just told that my einter life has been a lie that i am some sort of cloned super mutant that serves the Hanzo Empire who is bound to some ten thousand year old ancient super wepon." Ash"tar fell to the ground "i am human and always have been." his voice broken with sobs

Hollow man placed a hand on Ash"tars shoulder " came i will show you to a room were you can stay until you feel the need to leave."

Ash"tar was lead into a medium sized room were a large bed was placed in the center of the room Ash"tar placed his pack on the floor and got onto the bed as his mind driffted away he still felt at confilt with himself.
