Chapter 1: The unexpected entry
"Ummm… Sir? Excuse me sir?" Scott Summers said. He was quite confused, for a man had just come crashing down in front of him. He seemed to have been seriously injured, and he didn't seem to be waking any time soon. Not knowing what to do, he helped the man towards the Xavier Institute.
"!" Luffy cried into the darkness. "WHERE ARE YOU?"
"Shut up Luffy, you're going to burst our eardrums." Nami said as she punched him.
"Ooowww!" Luffy said rubbing a lump on his head. "We have to find Zoro though! He just disappeared!"
"We know Luffy, but there are better ways to look for him than to cry your lungs and attract who-knows- what-kind of monsters here." said Sanji.
"M-M-Monsters?" squealed Chopper and ran to grab on to Luffy's leg. The Straw-Hat crew had just returned from stocking up food and prepared to set sail when they had realised that Zoro was gone. Robin had said she was reading a book inside the cabin and the last time she had saw the swordsman, he had been sleeping on the deck, looking quite peaceful.
"We have no idea where that moss- head is, so we should split into pairs to search for him." Sanji suggested. "We could find the idiot swordsman faster that way. If we find him, we could light a flare to signal each other or something."
Luffy's face lit up like a candle. "OK! So I will be with Chopper, Sanji, you go with Usopp and Nami will go with Robin."
"Ok!" the crew said together, though Sanji looked rather depressed that he couldn't be with his two "Angels from Heaven." It was confirmed that some kind of flare or smoke would mean that they had found Zoro and everyone would go back to the ship.
"Sir...Are you feeling ok?" Scott Summers had now taken the mysterious man into the Xavier Institute's infirmary. "Can you talk sir? I mean…" the tall man drifted off, lost for words that someone could actually rival Wolverine's healing speed. The mysterious man was now sitting up in the bed. Suddenly, the door opened and Professor Xavier wheeled in.
"Good to see you are awake. I am Professor Xavier, the owner of this institute. May I dare ask where you came from? Your name, perhaps? How you came here?" the professor asked. The man stared at both of them.
"Oh! I'm Scott, by the way! Scott Summers. I was walking outside when you came crashing down, so…" Scott said, looking extremely uncomfortable. The man frowned, as if trying to remember something.
"…I don't remember anything." said the man. "Not how I came here, where I came from, what I was doing before I came. It's all just empty."
"Ohhh..." Scott said. "Isn't there anything you can remember?" The man furrowed his brow in frustration.
"Well… I can remember one thing." he said.
"And that is…?" Professor Xavier pushed. After a long while, the two men didn't think that the man would answer. Finally the man looked up and said;
"I remember my name." he said. "Roronoa Zoro. My name is Roronoa Zoro."
