“Ughh… My head …” He was slowly opening his eyes. He was feeling the worst hangover. A white room was unfolded in front of his eyes.
“Where the hell I am, I died? Did I?” The headache was slowly fading away, as his conscience occupies again his body.
He bites his own finger, only to prove that this is not a dream. “I still feels pain, and there is no maids with bunny ears waiting for my orders, so I can conclude that I am not in a comatose state or sleeping. Or this is a dream and my imagination sucks”
He starts to examine his own body. He notices an intravenous tube goes inside to his right arm. This tube is connected to drip with a mysterious glowing blue liquid.
In the same arm, attached to his wrist, was a small electronic device. It looks like a bracelet with three small buttons, the one of the center was red and the others silver like the rest of the bracelet. He pressed the red one, and a holographic screen appeared in front of his eyes.

“Accident… impossible, what was the last I was doing… Ughh… AggHHH… my head!!!!” The memories of the aftermath of the battle invaded his mind all at the same time.
….
“Edwin… Edwin? ... Are you still alive Edwin? Please respond Edwin”
“I am alive VI, What the hell is happening, what is our status? I can’t see shit” Edwin was in darkness inside the cabin.
“The frontal windows is sealed shut because of the extremely exterior heat. My sensor indicates, that we are in close collision with a huge planet, probably the earth. The sensor also indicates no presence of Ragnii. The reactor is working to his minimal condition. We got no more fuel or energy. And our speed is too high to stop”
“So we are screwed. I already know that the plan will kill us. Is okay, we do our best, it´s okay, it´s a suitable ending, with
a huge bang. How much time remains VI, for our end?” The warrior rest in his chair. He finally resigned to the inevitable end.
“T-minus 135 seconds. But is not for both of us, is for me. Don’t you forget Edwin?
My primary directive is accomplished. It only last the third one.
You were the best pilot I could choose.
But as you say, is time for my solo.
Burning every tiny piece of power I have left I could create a force field that will protect the cabin.But it also will fry my logic and memory circuits” The robot was being transformed in a huge meteorite of fire.
“Don´t you dare. You still got the second directive! Don´t you dare to leave me alone!” He was like a madman pushing any button he sees. But is useless, the cabin was lifeless and his efforts were pointless. .
“I don’t know is this is going to work, but I hope you survive. Our last goodbye Edwin. I really enjoyed our time together” And those were the last words that will spoke again.
“NOOOO!!!!” He crashed his fist against the controls, in blind anger. But VI will no hear him anymore.
The heat was increasing inside the cabin, several tremors accompany the fall. Probably was the reactor giving their last breath of life. Or the legs were exploding.
“AAAAAhGGGGGRR!!!” that was the last scream of Edwin, before an internal explosion of the cabin leaves him out of combat. The robot descended with a speed of hell, and leaves a hell of a crater.
….
“I don’t play “solos”, I play “Riffs”. VI you fool” His mouth shows a smile, but the tears start to fall from his eyes.

*cough, cough* someone coughing attract his attention. A tall woman in his forties who wears a lab coat, tries to call his attention handing him a handkerchief.
“I see that the patient awakes from his long slumber. My name Rae Heat, I am the nurse of this institution. It’s nice to meet you. Are you feeling fine?”
“I see, my name is Edwin. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I was only remembering the crash and my tears start to fall out. Where I am?”
“I am really sorry, but I could not answer any of your question. The director will respond to any problem do you have. It was a direct order from him. I hope you could understand”
Edwin only nods to the words of the doctor. The doctor check Edwin from head to toe.
After thirty minutes of medical examination. The doctor gives her evaluation.
“You are fine, you got no sequels from the accident, and you are ready to go to the director´s office. Now I proceed to disconnect the catheter, it will hurt a little, please deal with it” She explain to Edwin with a smile on his face.
A scream of pain was heard outside of the nurse room.
…....
Rae leaves the room, giving space to Edwin as his dressed himself. Five minutes later, he was still rubbing the affected area. “Frigging sadistic, she had says only a little.I doesn´t want to know what would mean to her something really painfull”
A School uniform rested inside the closet. He chuckled in front of the mirror when he tries the clothes. He does not recognized the person that the mirror reflected. "The nightmare still goes on. Huh?".
A knock was heard in the door, and a girl in her teens excused herself.
“My name is Seline Ellan, president of the student council and currently assisting second year. I was ordered by the director, my father, to escort you to his office. If you are ready, we will proceed” Her voice was like a clerk dependent.
Edwin looked at her from head to toes. She was wearing the same red blazer as Edwin, but instead of white pants she was wearing a black skirt, a golden badge with the symbol of black great-sword was displayed in her blazer. A beautiful straight black hair descended from his head. This was accompanied by her cute face that swore a smile . From her bust, two mountains were hiding behind her clothes.
.
"My name is Edwin, or that is what the bracelet says. It is a pleasure to meet you” He remembers his training for this kind of situation. Just go with the flow and feign ignorance.
“Amnesia… huh? That´s convenient, but it is expected after that kind of accident” She showed a puzzled face, but she quickly goes back to her usual bussiness like smile.
“Yes, I think that is right… I only remember a little about the accident and everything else is fuzzy” He hurried to answer her. He choose to go with the amnesia idea, this could be a very bad place to show his real identity.
No training in his life could prepare him to the scene that this world showed to him the moment he stepped outside the door.

Author note:
Words Count: 1207.. A small chapter showing the accident in itself. I known this looks like another cutre argument of a high school light novel. But i hope that you read the next chapter a lot of question will be responded.
I really need a proofreader. Is someone happy to take that agonizing job, please leave a reponse in the thread, because English is my second language and i suck terribly in locating grammar errors. It will also help me to release faster the chapters.
