1 Who am I?

Ryan opens his eyes, gets on his bike and chases after the van.

Ryan looks at his shoulder, a little blood oozing from it.

*Boom*

Thunder sounds as it begins to rain in this dark night.

Ryan's black hair is soaked in the rain but he keeps riding, trying his best to keep up with the van.

"Who was that man? And why did he take a blood sample from me?" Ryan reaches into his pocket and brings out a small rectangular device, his phone.

He makes a call and places his phone on his ear, waiting for an answer.

"It's Jane. Hey Ryan, why are you calling?" A teenage girl on the other side spoke.

"Jane! My blood was just taken by a man. I'm chasing the van right now and it's leading me to a warehouse. He might know something about my late parents. I'm chasing after him! I just want to let you know, I might not be able to make it to Jason's today."

"Wait no!! You can't do tha.... Dammit, he dropped the call." Jane kept her phone.

"Is Ryan in trouble?" A blue-haired teenage boy with spikey hair asked, worried.

"He's fine." Jane lied but Neo did not believe her and what she did next convinced him that she was lying.

"Jason. Track his phone, I'll help." she referred to a white-haired teenager who was already on it.

Jane sat with him on a chair with a desk full of multiple computers, all a bit large.

"I got it." Jason said.

"Come on. Let's go help him." Neo was already running out of the large mansion Jason called his house.

His parents were millionaires but were never around and this time was no exception.

They all got on their bikes parked outside and rode out in the rain.

' I hope he's alright. He can get a little careless." Neo thought as he rode on his bike.

Earlier today.

Ryan walks out of the class whereas all the other students run out in joy.

Ryan Carsonn was a fifteen year old boy. He had a very fair and pale skin. He had black hair with a cool undercut style.

He wore a blue t-shirt tucked into a small golden jacket with regular blue jeans and red boots.

He rose up his head, revealing his golden eyes. He held his phone in his hand as he sent a message.

[Ryan: Where are you guys?]

[Neo: Jason and Jane still have some last minute work in their mech club and I'm right behind you, you baka.]

The very person he was talking too had appeared behind him and placed his hand over his shoulders.

"Are you excited? It's the last day of school." He asked with a bright, energetic smile.

Neo Kuza, same age as Ryan. He had a dark skin with blue spikey hair and fiery red eyes. He wore a white sleeveless with purple shorts and some regular brown shoes.

Neo was on the foot ball team in their school and had just returned from his final practice session.

"Yeah. I guess so." Ryan replied with a small smile.

Today was their final day in high school.

They had already written their college exams to the same place. A very exclusive college in Kafince city, Kuriouri University.

Ryan had a lot riding on this as he wanted to study tech as his dream job was developing video games especially those relating to anime.

Ryan was a bit worried that he might not have done well in the exams.

They finally arrived outside of school.

"You guys." Two voices called out from the distance.

Ryan and Neo turn around to see two figures, a boy and a girl.

The girl had fair skin but not as pale as Ryan's. She had short dark blue hair with beautiful purple eyes. she wore a regular blue shirt with yellow stripes and blue jeans.

The boy on the other hand had a rare white hair color with blue eyes. His skin was a tanned yellow color. He wore casual clothes, a blue jacket with white jeans and blue shoes.

"You're finally done. What new mech did you guys make?" Ryan asked. Jason and Jane were talented in robotics and in an advanced city like Kafince, creating mechs for multiple purposes was a sure money-maker after they finished college.

"Yep." Jason brought out a white orb from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

A blue light emanated from it and they could finally see what they had made.

The mech was small, it resembled a monkey with fangs and made up of red metal.

"This is Juke. He's a helping mech." As soon as Jane said those words, the monkey stood erect and gave them a salute.

They laughed at it's actions.

"Anyways, you guys are still coming to my house, right? I've got a few new episodes of Future Diary and some episodes of Assassination Classroom."

As Jason said these words, their faces lit up.

"Of course we will. We'll meet you at eight."

After their talk, they quickly got on their bikes and rode to their seperate houses.

'This obsession with tech stuff. Is it related to you guys in anyway?' Ryan thought. He was an orphan who was adopted at a very young age, less than two years old.

He wasn't given any information about him and his real parents other than his name and their family name.

Ryan was later adopted by a nice couple who were supporting and loving of him but Ryan still wanted to find out about his parents.

"Ryan. How was your last day at school?" His adoptive father and mother asked him as he walked through the door.

"It was fine."

Ryan clenched his fist as he went up to his room and threw his school bag on the bed.

'I'll do whatever it takes. Who am I? Who were my parents and why did they leave me in the orphanage? I'll find out the answers to all those questions and more!' Ryan said.

In reality, he had told himself this a hundred times before but he was really serious and determined this time.

Especially now that he had a long vacation before he got his college results back. So there was plenty of time to fulfill his goal.
