Author's Notes: Yes... The last one was the end of the chapter. Well, I want this to be well thought out and brought to you guys with heart. I hope you guys like it.

Where has this boy gone to?
He is missing out.
He will loose his mind if he doesn't get at the end of the deal...

***

The air is thick with anxiety and hard work. The boy is being judged by his leaders and heroes.

"Xavier, do you know why we chose you?" said the Judge of the Council.

"Sorry, sir, but I do not. Can you enlighten me?" the boy quivered with worry.

"We chose you because we saw your action on your home planet. You built an advanced AI with scrap metal and computer parts you found in a junk yard..." the Judge announced as the boy's head looked up at the Council."You made a plasma powered generator..." one Judge pointed out. "You even created your own pet the same way as you created your AI..." the Judges looked at each other and smiled. "We, at the federation, have you in the right position to be apart of the legendary task forces we have in store."

"It's time for you to choose your task force, Xavier," the Admiral said as the boy smiled in happiness.

"Which team will you choose, recruit?" one Judge said. The teams leaders line up with their task force banner waved behind them.

"I choose Jaelen Hoster's team, sir," the boy said as Jaelen smiled with open arms.

"What are you doing, Xavier!?" Tareen said as Xavier snapped out of his daydream."Your mission is at hand, boy! Not to remember the 'Good Days!"

"You hide within my mind for a full night and you come to knock on my head!?" Xavier said as Jell looked at him with confusion.

"Hey, who are you talking to new kid?" Night Crawler said.

"Ummm... No one. Just myself," xavier said slowly as he felt Tareen's fingers grip his throat.

"Remember what I said, boy," Tareen started to cloud Xavier's mind."Do not forget about it..."

"You're being a bit less open then last time," Xavier thought to himself as he got out of Falcon. The team were scared. Afraid to see what might come next. They storm through all cells in search for the two team members. Jell and Night Crawler were surprised to see that no one was there to protect the cells.

"Do you know what might be happening, Jell?" Night Crawler whispered to Jell.

"This might be an FT," Jell said as Xavier was in confusion.

"FT? What's an FT?" Xavier said.

"It's nothing. Let's split up. Shey, you're with me," Jell ordered. The team split to search the ship for the two teammates, not knowing that they are dead. Xavier passes through a corridor and hears two voices. Xavier stops to listen.

"What are you doing, Sheo?" the voice said. The shadows illuminating a man sitting, fiddling with  objects on desk.

"what does it look like my bother? I'm making a castle!" the voice is louder than the other.

"Sheo, come on! We don't have time for this! It's been too long of a stay," this voice is more calm. Another shadow appears. It's hard to tell for the shadow being cast is large and like a pile of junk.

"Why do you need to leave? Do you need to sell things to the protagonist again?" one voice says.

"I have other stories to explore. The boy's mind is full of them. he always leaves them with such little protection. I suggested that I sell some improvements," the voice said as Xavier approaches the the doorway and tries to see the owners of the voice.

"Freeze! Wait... Uuh... What!?" Xavier says in frustration as the two voices had no owner.With little to time to figure that out, Xavier continues his mission.

"Xavier! Do you read?" Jell say on the line.

"I read," Xavier says.

"We found Psycho's location," Jell says.

"How do you know it's him?" Xavier said as he ate his own words.

"This is how. Your team and I are having a fun time, Xavier. Come find me and I won't play with them. You have 5 minutes," Psycho says as Xavier grips the the handle of his rifle. 

"You f*cking ass hole! I'll kill you" Xavier's rage almost broke loose.

"Oh! Before I forget, my coordinates are 333-457. See how fast you can get here," Psycho says as he leaves the line with a haunting laugh. Xavier in rage, destroys his radio earpiece.

"You know if you kill him, you would have to follow our deal..." Tareen said as Xavier was reluctant to save his team.
