Gray Light

New Begining Part 2

   The man tucked and dove through the gorge, dodging low rocks and kicking small pebbles around.

"We are almost to a ship yard. Hopefully there will be a ship," the ghost stated.

"And if we don't find one?"

"You better hope we find one."

The man reached an opening in the form of rocks. Approaching it cautiously, he stepped into the exit and looked around. There were different types of ships scattered everywhere from skinny ones to bulky ones. However, the majority of them were damaged beyond repair.

"I'll start to scan around the shipyard. Stay hidden for now, I don't see any weapons around." The ghost flew off into a different direction, leaving the man alone with his thoughts.

'What the hell happened to me?' The man thought to himself, furrowing his brow. He looked down at his armored hands. The bulky metal pieces on his body shined from the sunlight. 'I don't remember anything... Who am I?'

Suddenly an engine roared in the distance. He looked in the direction of the noise and saw a gray ship ascending over the ridge.

"Hang on, transmitting you now. We need to leave this area and head to the tower," the ghost said to him over the radio.

"Wha-" He felt an odd feeling in his feet. He looked down and saw his body rapidly dissolving. He panicked and fell backward, but his body continued to disappear without a trace. He covered his face with his arms and squeezed his eyes shut.

He reopened his eyes and found that he was sitting in a cockpit.

"Don't worry, I'll handle the flying. Rest your eyes, it's gonna be a long flight," The ghost said, reappearing in front of him. The man laid his head back and slowly closed his eyes, letting slumber consume his body.
