Your journey continues from where it ended. After losing your arm your life is still pretty much the same as it was before. Mandeep enters your room and informs you about your next mission. But before that, he wants to train so you two head toward the training area.

Mandeep: So are you feeling alright, you know after what happened tomorrow?

You: Yeah I am fine. How about you?

Mandeep: Oh! About my hand well they are good as new and well I got injured much time. But never this seriously. But still, we are alive and that's what counts.

After reaching the training area. You wore your combat gear to have dual with Mandeep.

3...2...1 Fight

You two start to fight using your newly acquired laser katana. You are amazed at the enormous power of the sword. You both have the same fighting style. You use your speed and agility to dodge Mandeep heavy attack and take the advantage to perform thrust attack. However, Mandeep sees it coming and counters you attack, but he didn't anticipate your upcoming attack you stop you katana near his neck, and he accepts his defeat.

Mandeep: You have improved a lot from last time.

You: You also performed excellently.

Mandeep: Well now we have some training with our new weapon lets continue toward N65-V we will find Carla there.

You return to your quarters to take a nap. You wake up by the sound of Mandeep on the communicator.

Mandeep: Hey you there hello?

You pick up the communicator from the table.

You: It's me what's going on?

Mandeep: Remember those thugs they just boarded our ship come to the command center and show em what are we made of.

You: Okay.

You pick up your katana and run toward the command center. In your way, you encounter three armored men. You activate your katana and slice them like a knife through butter. As you reach the command center you see Mandeep fighting with 5 armored thugs. You notice a symbol on the left side of his armor of the thug. It seems like a dragon. You rush toward Mandeep when you are stopped by 7 thugs.

Mandeep: Activate the ultimate laser rotate the handle.

You follow the instruction Your katana laser starts to power up with one slash you are able to kill 5 thugs. The other thugs start to flee. You turn around to help Mandeep and see him activating his katana's special ability. The katana becomes wider and with one lash the cut through armor and flesh of the thug and slice them into two pieces. You see the anger in his eyes as if he knew who these people are.

You: They are trying to escape. Let's follow them.

You shoot a tracer at their ship and start to follow them.

[Inside the thug, ship] THUG1: AH! SHIT THEY ARE GETTING CLOSER DO SOMETHING.

THUG2: Look over there, That's boss's ship we are saved the boss is he-

Before they can continue the big ship fire their cannon at them destroying the thug's ship.

You: What now?

Mandeep: Activate space warp.

You: Activating. No, they got jammed our reactor.

Only one enemy board the ship. You see a person in full bodysuit walking toward your base with no weapon.

You: There only one of them we can take him down.

Mandeep: No, not Us. Just get to escape pod.

You: Why?

Mandeep: He's too dangerous

You: Do you know him?

The man stops near you and removes his helmet. You find that it's a woman.

You: Who are you?

Woman: Oh! You broke my heart did you forget me? Wait that did he erase your memory.

You: What who erased my memory?

Woman: The person standing next to you.

You look and Mandeep he's looking at the floor with no expression on his face.

You: Why will I trust a woman who attacked our ship?

Woman: I didn't attack your ship. They were my servant who attacked your ship.

You take out your katana to fight.

You: Now tell me what did he erase?

Woman: He erased me from your memory.

You: What proof do you have?

Woman: Do you remember my face we used to work together.

You: No I don't.

Woman: That because he erased my memory from your brain. If you don't believe me then ask him.

You: Is it true? "You ask looking at Mandeep"

Mandeep: Yes.

You: Why did you do that?

Mandeep: To protect you.

You: To protect me you were not protecting anyone by doing this.

Woman: Don't worry I will help you. Just let me kill Mandeep first.

Your emotion conflict was all your memory was fake. Did he really manipulate you? Why did he do that? What is the reason? You are back at the start of where you started with nothing but the questions.

The women take out her hand.

Woman: Help me and I will help you in return.

You: You want me to fight him? He may have lied but he also helped me.

Woman: When did I say you have to fight him. Just join me if you want to join me then leave this ship and enter my ship until that I will take care of him if not then stay with him.

You are unable to make a decision to help the unknown woman or the one you called a friend. You close your eyes and start to move toward her ship.

Woman: You made the right choice.

She looks at Mandeep

Woman: Now what we do about you my poor little Mandeep?

Mandeep full of rage and anger takes out this katana before the woman can do anything he activates his katana, s secret ability and with the speed of lighting and with enormous power strike the woman. The woman didn't saw that coming and Mandeep successfully cut her into pieces. The woman stands up no longer in two pieces. You hear loud noises like a thunderstorm. You want to help him but can't. You look at the ship it is cut into two pieces. You see the woman entering the ship.

You want to ask her questions. But afraid to do so after collecting strength. You ask him.

You: Did you killed him?

The woman smile at your question. You feel regret.

Woman: He is stronger than I anticipated.

Hearing this you take a breath of relief. You still consider him your friend no matter what he thinks of you.
