I talked about this chapter with one of my coworkers, and here's what I came up with

3 Person POV

The nagging feeling that Astral had won't go away. The vision of a needle being stuck into his neck haunted him. He put a hand on his neck, unknowing that two small needle marks were under his hand.

He went to his work station, dropping off his belongings before making his way to Ginyugoku's lab.

Astral's POV

I walk down the hall to GG's lab, the nagging feeling that my mind was probed frightens me. The vision of the needle being stuck into my neck... I hoped that it was all just some crazy dream, that nothing really happened to me.

I walk into GG's lab, I saw GG "playing" on his computer. "GG, do you have a minute?" I ask him. He stops typing on his computer and looks at me. "What can I do for you Astral?" he asks me. I look away from him, "I was wondering... if I could have a physical." I said. "Did something happen Astral?" He asks me, that nagging feeling and the vision of the needle flashed before my eyes.

"Astral, are you alright?" my thoughts were interpreted by GG. "Is there some place we can talk in private?" I ask. "Of course." GG replied. We went into the back of the lab where GG's office was, I went in first with GG following behind me. "Tell me, what's on your mind." GG said. I take a deep breath, I was worried he wouldn't believe me. "I have this nagging feeling that my mind was probed by beings that are not from here." I said, feeling that GG was going to look at me funny.

"What do you remember?" He asked me, I could tell he was taking me seriously. "I don't remember much, but I keep having the same vision where a needle is being stuck into the side of my neck." I replied putting a hand on my neck.

GG wrote down what I was telling him, I felt somewhat at ease knowing that he is taking me seriously. "My I take a look?" he asked me. "Please do." I said. He got up from his seat and walked over to me. I sat completely still. I feel him pull back my shirt just enough to reveal my neck. "Astral, there a two small punctures in your neck." I freeze, realizing at that moment that my mind had been probed.

"Then it's true..." I said, GG looked at me worriedly but I didn't pay attention. "They probed my mind..." "Astral, what's going on?" GG asked me worried. Visions of gray beings flashed before my eyes, the feeling of the prob entering my mind. GG shook me lightly, braking the visions of the gray beings and the prob entering my mind.

"What just happened?" I asked forgetting for a moment where I was. "I was hoping you could tell me." GG said worried, looking at me. "I don't know what happened, visions of gray beings just flashed before my eyes."

"I think I can help you remember what happened to you last night." GG said, I replied with "How, how could you help my regain what I don't remember?" "If your willing to let use hypnosis on you, that may bring out some memories you don't remember." GG said. "How will hypnosis help me remember?" I ask, feeling helpless. "Hypnosis will bring your subconscious mind to the surface, as well as the memory your subconscious mind holds." GG replied to my question.

"I don't know GG, what if that doesn't work?" I said worried that it wouldn't work. "You'll never know unless you try." GG said, trying to get me to agree to be hypnotized. I sit quietly for a moment, thinking it over. I had nothing to loss from doing it, I might even be able to remember what happened.

"When do we begin?" I ask, determined to find out what happened. "At the end of the day, we both have work that needs to be done first." GG replied. "Agreed." I said getting up from my seat and going back to my work station.

When the end of the day finally came, I went back to see GG. We went to the back of the lab where a nice comfortable looking couch was. "You need to be completely relaxed when under." GG told me. I lay down on the couch, making myself comfortable. "Are you ready?" GG asked me, I nodded. "Focus on the watch, and nothing else." GG told me. He swung the watch in front of me, I followed it with my eyes. I began to feel sleepy, I feel like something was trying to come through. "Relax your body, let your mind wonder." I hear GG say. "I close my eyes, relaxing my mind and body. "Then next time you hear the word Zexal, you'll wake up knowing where you are." GG told me, I nodded in reply. I don't know what happened after that. I feel something take hold of me, I then black out.

3 Person POV

Once Astral is under, GG pulls out a small tape recorder then sits down in a chair with a note pad and pen. "What happened when you went to bed last night?" GG asked. "I stayed close to Dark Mist, before I fell asleep." Astral replied. GG wrote down what Astral was telling him.

"What happened after you fell asleep?" GG asked, wondering what Astral was going to say. "I was woken up by a humming sound outside my window, I looked over at Dark Mist who was sound asleep." Astral said. "What did you see?" "I saw a white light outside my window, that's when I felt a presence at the end of the bed." Astral said, twitching slightly in his hypnotic state.

"What did you see at the end of the bed?" GG asked as he wrote down what Astral saw. "I saw three gray looking beings with big black almond shaped eyes, they were wearing what looked like brown cloaks. I turn back the window, closing my eyes to listen to the humming sound."

"Tell me what happened after that." GG told Astral. "I must of blacked out. When I came too, I was strapped down to a metal table. I tried to get out of my restraints, but that's when I realized I wasn't in my room anymore. I looked around me, seeing all kinds of strange objects and instruments. Then four gray being surrounded me. I asked them what they wanted me for.

They looked at each other, somehow communicating. Then they looked back at me. Three of the grays left, one stayed behind. I asked the gray, "What do you want with me?" They gray replied using telepathy "Stay still, this won't hurt." I tensed up, worried what they were going to do to me. That's when I asked the gray what they were going to do."

"What did the gray being do?" GG asked, wanting Astral to continue. "Another gray rolled a cart over that had what looked like wires attached to small electrodes. They attached to electrodes to my chest, probably to keep track of my vital signs. I thrashed trying to brake free, but to no avail. "Calm down, we won't hurt you." one of the gray's said. I asked them what they wanted from me."

"How did they respond?" "The gray responded by saying "We want to understand how the mind works." I then feel two nero transmitters placed on my temples. I began to feel tired, I also felt some sort of probe trying to gain access to my mind. I start to fight to keep the probe out."

"What happened to you when you started to fight?" "A gray holds me down, I yell at them to get out of my head. But I only felt more tried. The gray told me "You have nothing to fear, relax your mind and let us have control." I fought back herder. I yelled back "I won't let you take control of me."

"What did the grays do when you refused to let them have control?" GG asked, worried that the grays implanted something into Astral's mind. "They said "Then you leave us with no other choice" I felt a needle stick into my neck, I slowly stops struggling.

Only to realize that I had to give it my all to keep them out. That's when another gray comes to hold me down. I yell out "I won't let you take control of me." That's when another needle was stuck into my neck.

I slowly stops struggling. Feeling the prob slip into my mind, as I lost consciousness." GG was about to stop the tape recorder when Astral spoke up again

"I retreated to my mind, I could feel the probs presence. I start to fight to push the probe out of my mind, then out of nowhere the probs presence disappears. I don't know how long I was unconscious for, but the next time I woke up it was morning. That's when I was left wondering if it really happened."

GG stopped the tape recorder, then hide it from view. "Zexal." he said bringing Astral back to reality. "What happened?" Astral asked holding his head. "How do you feel?" GG asked. "Tried, very tried. Am I supposed to have a headache after coming out of hypnosis?" Astral asked, remembering what GG did.

"No, but each person's experiences is different." GG replied, Astral rubbed his temples, to try ease the pain. "Go home and get a good night's rest, we'll talk about the results in the morning." Astral went home, doing just what GG told him to do.
