The Mech Lord

The Spaceship landed on the surface of earth but Leo obviously wasn't allowed to leave. Several tests were conducted on him and he really didn't know what was going to happen to him.

"Are you feeling all right, Leo?" the Doctor asked looking at Leo who was in a daze.

"Yeah…" Leo replied but he was screaming inwardly that he wasn't . The staff members were nice to him and were totally treating him like mentally ill person.

Leo had really been shocked earlier on asking where the other two people who were suppose to be on the space shuttle were. It turned out that he had been the only one on the evacuation shuttle.

They had actually found two more samples of blood on the shuttle but suspected that the two people had been sucked out of the craft at some point of time as their had been a huge gaping hole in the passenger compartment. Luckily for Leo, he was in the sealed cockpit or else he might have been gone along with the other two.

'What the hell is going on?' Leo couldn't help but freak out a bit. Things weren't making sense and he felt his head hurt again when he tried to think about it. He was sure that his original body along with the present one, both were in the cockpit.

It didn't make sense that one disappeared and other didn't.

At this moment, a person came up to them and gave a look to Leo before whispering something to the Doctor. Edwin's eyes flickered with a strange light as if he had came to some kind of realization.

"Head to your room. I will call you in a while…"

Leo didn't know what had happened but after saying that, Edwin hurried away.

….

An hour later….

Leo was called by Doctor Edwin and the moment he entered his cabin, his eyes constricted when he saw his friend, Kyle sitting in front.

The guy seemed to be in grief and looked extremely depressed. It was mostly because of Leo. He must be blaming himself for planning the trip, if it wasn't for that they may not have ever got caught up in the space accident.

"Do you recognize him?" The Doctor asked Leo with a curious look. Kyle was actually here after finding through his sources that the missing evacuation shuttle had finally been found. But after arriving here, he had been disappointed.

Leo looked at the Doctor knew he was being tested. He had earlier told the truth in nervousness thinking that it was the right thing to do. But, now if Kyle was here, the Doctor must have know about the dead human Leo and now here he was claiming himself to be the dead guy.

His curiosity must be piqued.

'Can I depend on him for help?'

Leo pondered for a bit and in the end, he looked at Kyle and shook his head.

The Doctor's curious eyes dimmed down and he sighed as he stood up and spoke, "He is the friend of one of the deceased and wants to talk with you for a few minutes…"

He then walked out of the room saying that he would be back in a few minutes.

Kyle looked at Leo with a complicated face. He had heard from the Doctor about this man's strange claims of being human and naming himself as Leo Allison. The Doctor said that Leo and this guy were definitely together on the evacuation shuttle and most likely some accident had killed Leo and the pilot as they got sucked out of the shuttle while this guy suffered some kind of trauma and now was mistakenly assuming himself to be the dead Leo.

Cases like this were rare, but it happened.

Kyle sighed looking at the guy and was once again engulfed in grief. Only if he hadn't planned the damn trip, they wouldn't have been caught in the mess to begin with.

"Kyle Williams"

"Lv 4 Awake"

"Red Rank Skill, Wind Fury"

"Single, No girlfriend…"

"Has a small wiener"...

"Shut up! Do you really think everyone is a monster down there like you?!! I am perfectly well developed!!!" Kain couldn't help but shout in anger. But, the next instant his pupils contracted. He had instinctively berated the guy like he always did but this…

"Did Leo say all of this to you before his death?''

"Why would he give me such information?" Leo replied helplessly.

Kyle looked at him with a strange look. He really didn't know how to react at this moment. He was really finding it hard to make any sense of this event.

Leo knew it wasn't easy to convince him since he himself had a hard time believing it. In the end, he began to talk about things related to him and Kyle. He listed a dozen of things that no stranger should know.

"Is this really happening? I really can't believe it…"

Even though Kyle had already begun to accept things, he still couldn't come on terms with it logically.

It was just too bizarre.

"Believe me! Even if I had given out personal information to others, do you really think I will tell people about your small wiener?"

"Yup, you are the only one who could annoy me this much….and its not small, its 6 inches you damn monster!!" Kyle replied with an infuriated looked and raised his hand, it looked like he was about to punch him but his hand suddenly lost the momentum and fell softly on Leo. In the end, he patted him. "Thank god, you are alive…but what is this….I can't believe my eyes…"

"I can't too…. I don't know what's going on…" Leo replied in frustration. "I don't know what to do…I lied to the Doctor that I didn't recognize you because I was not sure whether it was a good idea to tell the Doctor about it. What do you think? Should I ask him for help?"

"No, its a good thing that you refused. If we can find out how to transfer ourselves like you did, doesn't that give one eternal life….even if we leave that aside, the mere fact that we can posses another's race body in itself is something very attracting…" Kyle explained carefully.

Leo thought carefully and it started to make sense. Besides, Kyle's father was part of the Federation apparently. So, this guy had some basis for his confidence. He knew how things worked.

"Just now, he had asked me to talk to you and find how much you know about Leo, if you really identify yourself as Leo then I bet he will have to inform higher up as your case would be too unique. Even if he is a good guy, do you think the everyone is the same....It won't end well.." Kyle said with an utmost serious face. "Let's do one thing. I will tell him that you only have superficial knowledge and the rest of things are just imaginary. I bet he will think you are just delusional and you too make sure not to give out any information to reveal that you really are Leo. Play the part of a retard and a mentally ill person. In the mean time, I will try to figure out how to get you out.."

Leo nodded, "Okay. I will wait for you and tell my father about me…I don't know what situation he might be in."

Kyle hesitated for a second but still nodded. They had to tell him anyway, it wasn't possible to hide it from him.

....

2 days later….

Leo was diagnosed with a mental disorder and Doctor Edwin carefully tried to talk to him along with another specialist who specialized in General Biology of all Races.

There was something which turned out to be in Leo's favor here. His reports which were sent to a Medical Professional in Gloria had returned with some major claims. It seemed that his brain had suffered serious and he was lucky to just develop a mental disorder and not die.

Leo was sure that it must have smashed any suspicions that Doctor Edwin had after Leo's initial behavior.

The rest was easy, Leo played along with Doctors acting like a patient while Captain Alen kept staring at him from the sidelines.

But on the third day, trouble came knocking at his doors.

After his usual therapy session, Captain Alen came over and informed him, "We have received information from the embassy. They have recognized you and contacted your family. Someone will be coming to take over your possession.."

Leo nodded while freaking inwardly. 'I am doomed!'

He didn't want to leave his home! This was his place, all his friends and his only family, his father was here. Not to mention, he didn't even know this alien guy's name. What in hell would he do after meeting his family?

'Kyle! Where are you?! Get me out of here!' He screamed inwardly.

'No, I can't wait any longer..' Leo calmed himself down. He needed to run away from this place as fast as possible.

"Umn.. Can I go out for a bit?" He suddenly asked pulling everyone's attention to him before speaking with some hesitation on his face, "Honestly, I can't still come in terms with my memories. I want to go out and see if things match with what I have in my head…"

The Captain looked at the two Doctors and they nodded.

"I will assign someone to go out with you…" Captain Alen said with a nod before stretching out his hand with a strange card in it. "And here, take it…I sense you are an awakened. You memories might be fussy. But you muscle memory should be still there. Try to use your skill, you might remember something…"

Leo took the Awakener's card from his hand. He had always wanted it.. But his original body didn't awaken, but what now…was this body really an awakened one.
