Alright readers, this is basically my first official fanfic. I've been re-playing Cave Story so I figured, why not write a fanfic on it? So I hope you enjoy, I love feedback, so please write reviews! :3

Part 1 – Before It All Began

Chapter One – The Creator

I opened my eyes. Everything was blurry. Then slowly, things began to become sharper. A person, stood in front of me. He wore a lab coat. How'd I know that? I looked at my hands; I already knew that they were that. I am a robot. "Your systems are all running fine. Hello there, I'm your creator." The man that made me smiled warmly but . . . his eyes, they seemed sad. His black hair, brown eyes, a handsome face, it all seemed to fit.

I opened my mouth and replied, "Hello." I put a hand up to my mouth, it all seemed so foreign. My skin was metal; my insides were a series of circuits and other systems. Yet I had all the intelligence of a human. My database, it was already filled with basic knowledge. My creator began to walk to another pod. I can barely see what or who was inside of it. A black haired robot, he donned a red hat and it looked like a green scarf. It kind of made me aware of what I was wearing. A pink tank-top, purple pants, and pink shoes, I felt around where my ears would have been if I was a human, instead I found two round, headphone like receivers that I already knew were for communications and of course hearing. I saw my reflection in a nearby pod, my hair was blonde, and the receivers were green. I looked closer, blue eyes.

The creator activated the pod that the other robot was in. He slowly opened his blue eyes. Again the creator ran through system checkups with him. I looked closer at the other robot, black shirt, red pants, green scarf, and his red hat. It all looked so natural on him. When the creator greeted the new robot, all he did was nod in acknowledgement. Which seemed strange to me, I thought to myself, I guess he isn't much of a talker. I noticed that there weren't any other robots in the pods. It made me curious. The creator faced both of us. "My name is Daisuke Amaya. I am a researcher for the world army." He paused. "Listen to me carefully; I made you two special, and different than the other robots. I gave you intelligence, I gave you feelings . . . I gave them to you for a reason that you will understand later, but also I made you to carry out a specific mission." His brown eyes studied us carefully. "The next mission, from the higher ups, is to go to the Floating Island, and recover the Demon Crown. It gives the wearer unimaginable powers, but . . . I know, I just know that the Demon Crown should never be put in the hands of the government here. I'm sending you on a mission instead of recovering the crown; I want you to destroy it." I took in the information slowly.

"So . . . destroy the crown? That doesn't sound too hard." Daisuke looked at me. "Your name, is Curly Brace, and . . . "He pointed to the robot boy, "That is your partner Quote. You two, you were made for each other, made to fight together, made to do everything together." The creator looked at Quote who again nodded. "They already sent the other robots to the Island, I'm sending you now, be careful. Return safely." He led us to a small aircraft. "This only has enough fuel to get to the Island, you'll have to find your way back, and also, I won't be able to talk to you from here. Curly, Quote, the fate of the world rests on your shoulders." We were strapped into the aircraft; Quote already seemed to be programmed to fly it. He flipped several controls and stared at the gate which began to open. For the first time Quote said something. "Hi."

We were already high off the ground, in a very tall building. With a short burst, we flew out the research facility and into the vast blue sky. The coordinates were set, our mission in mind. We both looked at each other. "Hi Quote." I did my best to smile, and he smiled back, we already knew what to do. We were determined to do what our creator has given us to do. Destroy the Demon Crown!
