Cohen of the Rebellion

Chapter 1 - Osmos

What is happening to me? My thoughts are confused. I try to touch my head, but couldn’t feel my body. I...where is my body? Am...am I dead??

That’s right...we were on a mission and fell into a trap, and then was...fight…

...explosion...to this end...I am indeed dead…

Shit ! ! ! ! ! ! I’m in so much trouble ! ! !

Calm...I have to calm down...I’m dead but I’m think, right...yes I’m thinking. Thinking means I exist? Yes...I exist.

But shit, even though I was thinking...what the hell am I? I can think without a body...a soul? Then I’m a soul now?

Oh please...I’m not done..I don’t wanna be a soul…I have brothers..I have business…

When I think of my brothers, I can’t feel them at all. Obviously this is beyond by understanding.

Wandering around in space, I’ve grown to understand my situation.

Basically I exist like energy. I don’t have organs, body either. I’m a group of energy somehow doesn’t dissipate.

In this space, I have a very unique power to sense the outside world. This power enables me to detect danger. I also discovered that there are individuals like me that exist in this space. Some of them are very powerful…

I can’t approach those powerful ones, but as for the smaller ones, then...I’d rush on and devour them. By consuming their energy, they become part of me.

Call me coldblooded. What else can I do?

In this god forsaken place, there are individuals more powerful than me. And there are random energy waves, which could kill me.

Then one day, when I’m devouring others, an energy wave, biggest I’ve ever encountered, struck me. Before I can do anything, I was knocked out...man, I’m not a rocket...

There is no such thing as time in this space. So the term “one day” is made for the readers

I felt several slight shock like I penetrate some bubbles. When I stopped, I knew I’m in another space, a safe space. I had no idea why I think it was safe, but I was certain it was.

“Fragile life, what do you have in mind?” A deep voice travels into my mind clearly.

“None of your business, leave me alone.”

“You are inside me, if you don’t want that, I can send you out.”

“Wait!” My senses are coming back, “Are you talking to me?”

“Technically speaking, we’re not talking. You and I have established a spiritual connection. Although like you said, let’s say we’re talking.”

“Are we? You...what...are you?”

“Like you, according to your way of understanding, I am living creature.”

“My understanding? How could you possibly understand my way?”

“When you entered within me, I’ve gone through all your memories.”

“You thief!!!”

“I don’t have that in my vocabulary. All memories should be shared in response to potential danger.”

“That’s my privacy!!! Why don’t you share your memories with me?”

“Your current energy will not survive my shared memory.”

“I don’t care!”

Between our Q & A, I came to understand that I’m now currently located on the edge of the universe, and this giant thing I’m talking with exists since the creation of space. It’s not exaggerate that she is giant. There are four planets the same size like her. Her understanding on the universe is far beyond me. But I can do something she can’t, like I have no shame.

In a short while, we became friends. She knows everything about me, and I know something about me.

Because of her figure, I named her cotton. She wouldn’t call me strong and powerful and invincible and loved-by-all Westley. She said it’s too long to remember.

“Little one, what’s on your mind?” She would prefer to call me this.

“I’m thinking about my 24 years of life.” I’m talking a little sadly, “24 years, what have I done to it.?”

“Still can’t forget your old life?”

“It’s not, it’s just...there are still...too many things I wanna do..” Faces of my brothers appear in my head.

“Everything has passed.” Cotton said.

“If I can live again, one more time, I can do better…” My voice gained weakness.

“Really? How much do you wanna live again? What if you’ll suffer again?”

“I’ll change it!!! My life is mine, and it’s not to be controlled by anyone!!!”

“Think it through? No regrets?”

“What are you talking about? There’s no point think about anything.” I think, “Would that be dreaming?”

“If you promise me something, I can give you a chance.”

“Are you kidding?”

“I know a place you might like.” Cotton said, “But, with conditions!!!”

“Then hurry!!! Say it and send me there!!!” I don’t wanna drift in space anymore.

“No hurry, it’s very easy for me to do that.” Cotton has grown more slippy on her mind, “Don’t you wanna listen to my conditions first?”

“I’ll promise you 10 things if that’s all it takes…” I can’t hide it anymore, I’m laughing so hard.

“Ok, here it is. My condition is, DON’T YOU EVER CALL ME COTTON AGAIN!!!!!!!!”

“...no problem.”

“I’ll send you there, and tell you other things to pay attention when we get there.”

“OK, why didn’t you say it earlier.”

“Because I just found out you are an asshole.”

“Really? Looks like I should make that clear earlier...hahahahahaha”

“By the way, what’s my new name?”

“Well, no cotton...how about marshmallow?”

“Shut up…”

With a very slight shake...it’s starting

Alright, Reborn Express, let’s go!
