1 Sea Of Stars Is a Young Boy's Dream

" If I put the core hydraulics in the proper order, then this warp drive will be back into sync with the main engine"

The young boy mutters as he concentrates with both of his oil-greasy hands-on putting the core hydraulics in the fusion chamber.

Light starts to shine as the metallic cube also starts to turn like a Rubik's cube.

"It worked! UNCLE BROOK!!!! I FIXED THE WARP DRIVE BACK IN FULL SYNC!!!", A young boy in greasy clothes shouted as he ran towards a bearded man holding a holographic device.

"Yes, I hear you very well, boy just tell me straight without all this shouting", A bearded man named Brook responded with a smile at the young boy as if he was done doing his chores.

The young boy stopped in front of Brook with a smile of determination and continued what he said earlier.

"I fixed the warp drive's fusion chamber malfunction to its core hydraulics" the young boy answered enthusiasticly.

"All right! Good work on that small craft, Yuri" Brook smiled proudly at the young boy who also grinned at the praise.

Yes! This young boy here is Yuri.

It's been 16 years had passed since he was born into this world...

In his past life, he was an astronaut starting his first flight into space but on his liftoff, the electric wire sparked to a leaking fuel causing to explosion resulting in his death and rebirth.

Reborn to a young orphan adopted by a renowned engineer by the name of Brook Mortelm, His life sparks once again as he dreams of going to the sea of stars as this is a world where space travel is pretty commonplace...

Uncle Brook typing quickly on his holographic device, The beeping sound in one of Yuri's pockets indicates that a transaction has been completed.

"Yuri, I already sent 250 credits as per the service fee and after you're done here, go home got it," Uncle Brook said as he left Yuri and inspected the other fellow engineer's work.

"Thanks! Uncle Brook", Yuri responds as he looks at his workplace.

His workplace is the birthplace of small and large spacecraft where all engineers and shipmasters put their passion into building countless magnificent pieces of art that souring to the sea of stars. 

His respect for the renowned masters of their craftmanship moved in his heart as he picked up his small holographic device and it flashed a small screen projection showing his account that his total credit was 4750 credits.

"Ku ku ku I am one step away from my dream", Yuri grinning at the device as he walks away from the dockyard.

"Hey! Wait for me, Yuri" a young girl shouted at Yuri.

Yuri stopped walking and turned around to see a silver girl in a gray shirt and red checkered skirt, waving at him.

"Oh! Nicole are you done helping Uncle Brook", Yuri said as he was greeted with a hug by a silver-haired girl.

"Yep! I've got additional credits from him" Nicole grins as Yuri pats her head.

Nicole Silver is Uncle Brook's niece and Yuri's childhood friend who follows Yuri around whenever and wherever he goes which Yuri appreciates a lot as his past life has never experienced social interactions as he was so focused during his training. 

"Since I've done well shall we have the best dinner when we are at home okay," Nicole said as she took Yuri's arm and started walking towards the lift platform ahead while pulling him.

"Okay, Nicole since you're done well I will ask Kira to cook your favorite dish" As Yuri said those words Nicole giggly as thoughts about foods floated through her head. 

As the conversation died down as they were already above the surface and the sky had taken into the night.

Yuri saw the two giant buildings along countless buildings lit up in between from far showing that human civilization had reached its peak and that peak had set the stage.

As Yuri raised his hand in the night starry sky both memories intertwine from his past and current life as if they consented to each other's agreement.

"Yuri! Stopped looking at the sky were gonna be late!" Nicole said as she pulled hard him and started running.

"Alright alright I'm going", Yuri stopped looking at the sky and ran along with Nicole towards the transrail Station.

At the last minute, they managed to get on the transrail on time, last transrail started moving.

" Ah~ Whew~ finally we made it," Nicole said as she sat, tired from running.

"Second motion for that", Yuri agrees with her as he sits next to her.

Nicole giggles as she closes her eyes and puts her head on Yuri's shoulders while Yuri lets the matter go.

he looks out the window as the transrail passes through showing countless bright buildings and people walking around.

Transition into the outskirts of the city where fields in which some underdeveloped and many windmills expand beyond the eye.

Lastly, the view of the Mountain Range from afar is mesmerizing as they reach their station.

As the both of them get off the transrail stretching their arms highly.

Yuri and Nicole make their way towards a small dirt road where the forest lights up in emerald guided to a small hill and see the view of a Large windmill from far from their home.

"We're finally home, Yuri let's race all the way and the one who goes first will get dessert", Nicole said with confidence as she ran ahead first.

"Okay just don't cry when I get the dessert first", Yuri accepts as he follows Nicole towards their home.

As they run, the view gets larger or the betterment of understanding the Windmill house is very huge up close.

Yuri takes the slow pace letting Nicole take her winning as Nicole opens the door.

"Kira~ We're home, I want some meat steak!", Nicole removed her footwear as she ran to the emerald-haired girl and hugged her behind.

The emerald-haired girl turned her back and hugged Nicole in return like a mother noticing her child at home.

"Kira~ We're home", Yuri comes in second as he enters the room, and sits on the couch while looking at two girls hugging each other.

The emerald girl in the green dress is Kira whom Yuri mentioned earlier,

An orphan similar to Yuri as they were both infants abandoned together in the junkyard and found by Brook who adopted them later on. 

Yuri believes that Kira is her real little sister and that he is a little overprotective about her safety.

" Yuri~ Welcome home", Kira greets him as she looks up and smiles with affection.

"What about me!", Nicole pout

Kira giggled and patted Nicole's head.

"Welcome home Nicole~",Kira smiled at Nicole.

"That's making me look like a side dish to you!" Nicole still pouting while Yuri and Kira both laugh.

As they finished talking about the day's work in the backyard,

All three of them had to eat dinner and Nicole took the dessert first as the winner of the race earlier.

Nicole left towards her room while Kira was washing the dishes in the kitchen, Yuri went outside taking a stroll deep in thought.

"It's been a long time ever since I was born in this and only a matter of time", Yuri was relieved as he sat cross-legged and gazed up at the sky where countless stars were.

Yuri recalled the information he had painstakingly throughout his 16 years.

"Today is the Year 3450 A.D., In the Alsatian Aeris Calendar..."

"Many Centuries ago, an Ancient Race successfully invented the warp drive technology which sparked the idea of space travel and many brave people sacrificed in doing this great cause and travel nonstop to the end of their planetary system"

" The title given to this brave people is Zero-G Dog

" After a Millennium, they also discovered a high energy point which led to the creation of the first stargate" 

" And as countless experiment probes launch towards the stargate many were unfruitful results until the first voyage was recorded that managed safely to another planetary system which opens opportunities as many points discovered creating many stargates into a system of space navigation known as [STELLAR POINT]"

"As the race expands and prospers in every planetary system throughout many galaxies"

"Magellanic clouds both Large and small even beyond everything came to an end as the same race quickly disappeared along with the stargates died out "

"All of which was recorded on holographic records and stories from Uncle Brook taught me back when I was 5 years old which include the birth of this sector"

"This planet foundation when the sector was discovered by a group of Zero-G Dog under young fleet commander Lord Sergio Panfilov...."

"10 years ago the law decreed signed by Lord Panfilov banned space travel in his entire Atlas Sector by cutting off the stargate"

"Preventing everyone from going in the sea of stars which is rare to see any spacefarers come and go" 

"But I've been reborn in this world like I'm on a man of mission that someday will fly to the sea of stars"

Yuri finished thinking with regained vigor as he stood and looked up at the sky one last time before heading...

"Wait! Is that....", Yuri looked closely at the sky as the similar look of a meteorite came to fall through the planet's atmosphere.

As the mysterious metallic object kept falling very fast its trajectory changed course which was heading in the direction of where Yuri was standing at a tremendous speed.

"Ah, shit! I'm gonna die Again!!!", Yuri quickly dives onto the ground and looks at the incoming object.

The Mysterious metal object moves towards Yuri but misses as the object crashes and passes Yuri into the forest as its final stop.

"What happened in here", Uncle Brook arrives worriedly at Yuri as he sees him before the object comes crashing.

"I'm alright Uncle Brook but wait...", Yuri realized just now that the saw was not a meteorite that crashed but the ship.

"Uncle Brook! quickly come with me!"

"Someone needs our help", Yuri quickly ran toward where the ship had crashed

"Boy! Wait for me!"

"And I will forgive you if please give me an explanation right now!!!", Uncle is angered as he follows Yuri.

Yuri couldn't hear what Uncle saying as he was far away and the only focus his eyes were on was the crashing ship which was in the middle of the forest.

"Wow looked at this...wait Yuri saving life first before the ship", Yuri refocused himself as he approached the ship and started to search the emergency open hatch in the ship's side.

Uncle Brook has just arrived as well but still bringing his breathing from all the running.

"Hah ah hah whew~ Yuri just give a few breathers and give me an....wow", Uncle Brook was fascinated at the design of the ship as he didn't see it clearly at first when he was running hard.

While Uncle Brook looking at the ship, Yuri still can't find the hatch.

"Where is that freaking hatch!....wait maybe I climb", Yuri climbed up to the head of the ship where the main bridge module was probably located.

As Yuri climbed up he found and quickly opened its hatch which the sliding door splits.

The bridge broke down as lighting within the bridge was not very lit inside.

Yuri adjusted himself as walked closely to the glimpse and he saw Gray gray-haired woman in clothes that showed her curves very well a very noble person but also looking between a launcher and a pirate but the woman was wounded as the blood kept flowing and her face was pale.

"Uncle! I need the additional first aid meds and call Kira now!"

"Are you a launcher or a pirate?", Yuri questioned the woman as he lifted her

out of the bridge.

"Yu.... Y–" The Gray-haired woman was saying something but lost consciousness.

Yuri let the matter go for now as he put the first aid to stop the bleeding and carried her away from the ship

Little did he know that this little encounter with this woman became a significant role...

Towards his dream.

"Hey! Let me help you there boy" Uncle Brook helps Yuri as he carries the wounded woman as they go down and lay down the wounded woman.

Nicole and Kira arrive promptly Kira immediately fixes the deep wounds while Yuri explains to both Nicole and Uncle Brook the situation.

By the time Kira finishes and the life of the wounded woman survives, the dawn arrives...
