Past, best left forgotten
By: Firehedgehog
His name was Axl
Everyone has secrets, some more then others…
He'd lost rack of how many Mavericks wars he'd fought in, he was growing so tired of all the fighting.
He'd been in more then Maverick wars, not that anyone knew of them… or would believe him.
He didn't remember his creator or most of his past, his clearest memories was of Red Alert. He didn't mind: he could always make new memories.
What was with him and joining mercenary groups? In fact… why the heck did he keep loosing his memory? It was annoying.
It all fell t pieces, and in the end he ended up joining the Maverick Hunters. There he fought along his hero's X and Zero. Later, they became close friends.
Fate repeated certain things, but it was a familiar path… at least neither of his friends went nuts and tried to destroy the world.
My main weapons are guns; I rarely miss.
Once I knew someone else who used guns, in fact. I was once a sword user. Wonder, how Zero would react to that?
Then it happened, past and present collided. My true past was almost revealed.
Now that had been unexpected, and a shock.
Sometimes the memories are best left forgotten. I like this life; I finally made my own choices… I was finally happy.
Others have passed away: I had been given another chance at happiness by the lifestream.
Now I looked at a face of a person who would never be touched by time again. A face of the past.
"I am Vincint Valentine," the vampiric like man said quietly.
"Axl, just Axl," I told him.
I could never be that person again, so I never told him who I once was. Then, he'd expect me to react like my past self.
"That's an interesting name," the man said.
He would never know, that once I went by another name.
"I know," I said.
By the name of Cloud Strife….
