As the pod carrying Ryder was finally found by the space station, a few drones caught him and delivered the pod to the hanger. He wasn't scared but anxious of what they are going to do to him. If he was going to be sold to slavery, Going to be a killed, ransom, and other options he dare not to think.

When they finally landed at the hanger and they opened the pod, he saw the same black mask and armor thus making sure that he was kidnapped. One of the kidnapper carried him and spun him around and tickled his nose thinking it could calm him down. It failed as Ryder did not give any baby like reaction or any at all. This made his surounding spring in laugther. Then the door opened behind them with two red colored armor going first and a woman whose wearing a white greatcoat behind her back, a white admirals cap, wearing white suit and pants underneat, and paired with white boots as well for a complete matching white outfit.

"What's this commotion about?!" She said whose presence alone halted the surrounding noise,

"'Nothing Captain!'" All said in unison as They saluted there,

"And what about you? What are you carrying? Hmmm?" Her voice made the man freeze from terror,

"I-Its the baby captain! We believe that our guys succesfully finished there mission." He said, fear in his voice,

"And what about them? Have they arrived? Or are they still fighting down there?" Her eyes flashng with malice,

"Im afraid we lost contact with them a minute ago..." The tone in his voice confirmed it. They were dead...

While that was happening, Ryder was looking at the captain taking a good look at her details. She has pale skin going well with her all white attire, long white blonde hair, hazel like eyes with white eyelashes, an hourglass body figure going 50-25-50 (bust/waist/hip) inches and a height of 72 inches (6'0). 

After a brief silence of Ryder looking at the captain, the captain bent her back just enough to see her clevage and is face-to-face with Ryder. She cocks an eyebrow and smiled as she looked at Ryder with dreadful eyes. 

"Hmph, at least they were useful. Bring the the infant to the studios. The plan stays the same." She said, as she left the room and her presence gone.

The kidnappers or pirates, have succesfully kidnapped Ryder and marched straight directly to the studios. Ryder however was also planning as well. With a thousand years of experience and wisdom he wastes no time to put his plans in action... Or so that was supposed to happen

As the pirates marched directly to the studio, one of the pirate, the one carrying Ryder vanished. He ran away with Ryder in his hands and went againts his orders as he went to the hanger. This didn't go unoticed as a camera spotted them and an alarm broke out and dozens of pirates flooded the hanger, there guns ready as they pointed at the door. But Ryder was one step ahead of them. As the man carried Ryder, he jumped out of his arms and landed on the ground hard as a loud 'thud' was made. The man tried to grab Ryder but he heard footsteps in both directions. Ryder, however saw a vent a crawl into it. The man soon followed and they disappeared into the vents. 

Meanwhile, the captain who was waiting for Ryder was soon told of the recent traitor.

"#30021, A normal grunt with very high self-estem, very merciful, mute and is very friendly." Said the captain, 

"*sign, I knew this would happen. Sera, bring the traitor here, dead or alive. But don't harm the infant. We need him alive at all cost." She said as one of her bodyguards nodded and left to look for the traitor and Ryder.

After sometime of crawling through vents and Ryders natural sence of direction, it didn't take long for him to find the hanger with dozens of pirates waiting at the door to see if it will open. And it did as a red armored pirate came out. The pirates waiting where shock as they lowered there guns. One of the pirates was called and the two of them started talking and Ryder can hear every single details since a Shinu has great sence of hearing like a dog.

"What is going on here?" The red armored pirate said,

The pirate saluted before answering, "We were waiting traitor to come here since this is the only entrance to the ha-" He  said before being stopped by a saber through the forehead. Like hot knife through butter, it pierced through the  helmet killing the pirate intanly,

"FOOL! Do you think that this is the only entrance through the hanger?! There are many vents across this place! And let's not forget that there are three doors through this place! What happened to the other two!?" She said, sending chills to the spine of the pirates across the hanger,

"There jammed." Said another red armored pirate as he entered,

"Bah! I don't need your help Xeno! Go back to the captain like a good bitch you are." Provoking the Xeno,

"*sign, not this again Sera. We all know who is going to win. And if you keep this up, you'll end up humihilating and hurting yourself again... But if you insist." Xeno said as he unsheathe his weapon and took a figthing stance preparing for a duel.

The situation got intence as the two red armored pirates had a fight and with Ryder being able to speak onehundred-fourthy-three (143) different languages across the universe, he was able to understand there talk... or heated rivarly. As soon as the fight started, Ryder crawled out of the vent and fell down but soon realised he still haven't learned how to walk in this body. With him out in the open and screwing up big time, he instead did what he had to do and crawled in all fours which made him less visible thanks to his silver hair making him almost invisible to the naked eye... only if they aren't so focused on the fight that is.

Sparks fly in every direction as the duel continued. The hot headed bodyguard known as Sera is having trouble coping with her opponent as he jump, duck, lunge and parry all of her attack. The other side however is different. With a rapier as his weapon combined with his cool headiness, he dodges and parries all of her attacks. With a raging crowed cheering for Xeno, the hot headed Sera screamed and cursed while Xeno took this opportunity to strike his hindered opponent with a well placed blow to the jaw ending with a kick and a stylish backflip which made Sera fall to the ground and face to face with a rapier, ending the skirmish with Xeno as the victor. With a smirk and his hand extending to help Sera stand up. Sera declined Xeno's offer as she swiped Xeno's hand away from her face as she stood up on her own and stormed out of the room mumbling curses againts Xeno.

On the other hand, Ryder was crawling from cover to cover with every little object he could find. Although he was able to find cover, he was soon spotted. When he was picked up however, he noticed something and realised that it was the same pirate who was carrying him previously. This didn't go unoticed as a pirate noticed them whom alerted everyone at there presence. As the two of them looked seemingly cornered, the man made a break for it and ran through the vent which they crawled into. However, he was quickly stopped with a blow at his temple rendering him unconscious and dropping Ryder direcly under the vent they came out from. 

As the fall made Ryders movements sluggish. He was caught by one of the pirates. The plan Ryder came up with failed. With a lot of mistakes here and there, made him realise that his intellectual mind also changed. The immortal man of the future and the ghost of the past are two different things but is made out of one person. Yet he failed to realise this. But that does not mean he had lost all hope. He must live in order for him to find the answer. And to find out what that seraphim did to his soul...
