It took me longer to finish this one because of another fanfiction I was reading, and wanted to finish as soon as I could.

Chapter 4

Noctis stepped out of the RV, stretching and yawning, after the sleep he had. It was a good one, with the comfy beds they had, despite it only being a cheap RV. He then walked around to find the others, walking past the diner to the left of the RV. He first checked the shop that was there, to find Ignis buying ingredients, using the gil they got from the hunts. "Mornin'." Noctis said to Ignis, walking to his side.

Ignis looked at him. "Good morning." He said then looked back at the ingredients. "How did you sleep, Noct?"

"Pretty good, actually. Surprising, for a cheap RV." Noctis pointed out.

"A different bed every so often helps you sleep." Ignis said, then finishing up with the shopping.

Noctis then walked away to find the other two. He checked at Cindy's garage, and before he even got there, he heard Prompto and Cindy talking. It wasn't a big surprise to Noctis that Prompto was already there with her. He could only imagine what he was talking about in there. He went to go see what they were doing. Most likely fixing that truck she mentioned earlier. He walked in through the entrance, to see Cindy working on the engine, and Prompto was handing tools to her, and sometimes not the right one, since he didn't know what some were. Noctis couldn't help but smile, seeing that he was spending time with her. He knew Prompto had a fondness for Cindy, or as he would call her, The grease-monkey Goddess. A strange name indeed, but Noctis wasn't one to judge, since he could see why he liked her. She was handy with the car, and she had good looks to add to it. He wasn't afraid to admit, but he chose to keep it to himself. He then walked to Prompto's side, Prompto waved with a screwdriver in his handle. "Heyaz." He said, with a smile.

Cindy then looked at Noctis. "Morning, your highness."

"Hey. So how's the truck coming along?" Noctis asked, figuring he might as well start a conversation.

"The poor puppy's took quite a bit. The hunters said that they picked out every needle that was on this thing, yet I found so many more they've missed." Cindy answered. Noctis then looked to her feet, to see a pile of it. She definitely wasn't kidding when she said they missed some. "But, I've had to fix worse, so this only needs a few hours of work, a test drive, and she's good to go."

"And Prompto? Does he serve as a useful assistant?" Noctis teased.

"Well, he knows a good amount of tools I asked for, so he would make a good assistant." Cindy commented, with a smile.

Noctis then looked at Prompto, Prompto making a thumbs up with a smirk. Noctis then patted his shoulder. "Well, I'll leave you guys to it." He said, as he then left the garage, and saw Gladiolus at the weapon shop, with a girl next to him. Gladiolus was always good with people, and from what he could see, the girl next to him giggling, he bet he was chatting up something. He decided to leave him alone, since he'd remember he'd tell him they'd talk later when ever he was talking to girls. He then went to the RV, forgetting his phone. With a bit more time spent there, Noctis reminded the others that they were to check on Velle one last time before they left to get back to their own tasks. Going down the road to the HQ, Prompto looked at the others in the back, Noctis and Gladiolus sitting in the back. "So, if Velle is awake, do you think we should tell him about where we found him?" Prompto asked.

"Chances are, the hunters already told him if he's awake." Gladiolus said, looking at Prompto.

"If." Noctis pointed.

"We'll see when we get there." Ignis said.

"But just think, for all we know, that info they say he has, maybe it has something we could use to take down the Imperials." Prompto said, showing he's been thinking about it for a while.

"If the Imperials wanted him taken so badly, than it must be something that's top secret." Gladiolus said.

With a bit more talking, they made it to the hunter HQ and they parked by the side of it. Everyone got out of the car, and walked into the hunter Hq. Noctis got a few bows from the hunters, them knowing who he is, and he responded with a simple wave. They then looked to their left, to smell something rather nice. "Hey, something smells good." Prompto said, with smile, going to check it out. The other three followed along, going to where the smell was coming from, a small tent next to where all the communication equipment was. Prompto walked in, to see the familiar white haired boy standing, looking at something cooking. The white haired boy then turned to look at them, showing a rather bright turquoise eyes, his white hair reaching to his eyebrows, however messy. He also seemed to be somewhere around his 20. "Umm, can I help you?" He asked, his voice being something like Noctis' but a pinch higher in tone.

The four looked at each other, seeing that Velle was finally awake. "Your... Velle Vontta, right?" Prompto asked.

"That's what everybody calls me, yes." Velle said, still keeping his eyes on them. "Are you here for breakfast too?" He asked, although he hasn't been in the camp before.

Prompto was tempted, but they already had some breakfast back at the garage. "Well, actually, we were the ones that rescued you from the imperial base." Prompto said, looking at him. "We'd thought it would be nice to pay you a visit."

Velle had a bit of a confused look for a second, then a look that showed he realized. "Oh, Noctis, Ignis, Gladiolus and Prompto, right?" He said, knowing their names. "Yes, Mr. Cor, or, marshal? He told me it was thanks to you guys that I'm safe here. So, I owe you guys." He said, with a smile on his face. He then peaked at what was cooking, which was an egg with some meat next to it, and some bread. He flipped the egg and the meat, and looked back at the others.

"Well, thank Cor, really. He's the one that told us about you." Noctis pointed out, crossing his arms.

"I guess I should thank him too, along with you guys." Velle said, with a smile.

Just then, Jennifer walked in, and placed plates right next to Velle. She then turned to see the four. "Oh, Noctis, and friends. It's a pleasure to see you four again." She said, with a smile.

The four nodded, liking her formal greeting, although it wasn't necessary. She then turned to look at Velle, turning his head to her. "Do you remember anything now? If so, what helped you remember?" She asked, her brown eyes looking at his. She was rather touchy, for somebody who was asking a simple question.

"Umm... so far I don't remember a lot." Velle answered.

The four looked at each other, having confused expressions. "Remember?" Ignis asked.

Jennifer looked at them, remembering that they weren't caught up to speed with Velle's situation. "Well, ever since he woke up, he just couldn't remember anything. He didn't know where he was from, his name, or... well, anything." She explained.

"But does he remember anything now?" Prompto asked, tilting his head a little.

Velle nodded. "Yeah, some stuff. This lady, wearing this yellow jacket and... very small shorts. I could barely see her that night, but when I saw her, she reminded me of somebody I knew." He explained, fiddling with his fingers a little.

Prompto had a thing for Cindy, so he found it a little sceptical that he remembered somebody from her. Or more of how it really was, he was a little jealous of it. The others had an idea on his fondness for her, but they chose to keep quiet on the matter. "So, what did make you remember her from Cindy?" Prompto asked.

Velle looked down, trying to think. "I... I can't really say... it was just something about her. I guess it must have been the accent or something." He answered, looking down, trying to think.

Jennifer then laughed a bit. "And then there was when he saw Cor for the first time, and he reminded him of his dad. It must have been the hair or the voice." She explained, with a smile.

The others couldn't help but laugh a bit as well, since it was kind of funny, for Cor to seem like somebody else. "Imagine if Cor was his dad." Noctis said, looking at them.

"I don't know if I'd be happy for their reunion or how rough Cor would be to his own kid." Gladiolus said, crossing his arms.

Jennifer then began to laugh, covering her mouth, and Velle began to laugh as well. After a bit of time, Jennifer wanting to at least get to know them a little, they all talked to each other, and Velle made the rest of the meals for the hunters in the HQ, they decided to chat a little more, and Velle learned more about the four. What he was most surprised about was that Noctis was a prince, or soon to be king. And the fact that Gladiolus and Ignis were his, in a way, servants and Prompto was just a friend, he found them to be a rare kind of group of friends. But then again, he wouldn't know, since he hasn't, or more likely, can't remember what friends are like. The closest he has to a friend is Jennifer.

They were all sitting down at a table, having small snacks to eat. "So, now you remember stuff by seeing stuff?" Prompto asked.

Velle nodded finishing a piece of a carrot. "Yeah, but I imagine it also has something to do with my other senses. You know, smell and the like." He answered.

"So maybe you could come with us." Prompto suggested. They were going to see a lot of places and see many beautiful views, so he figured having him along would be a great idea. It was a hasty decision, but he was really curious about Velle.

The others looked at Prompto. "The last thing we want is to burden him." Ignis said, looking at him.

"Plus, he'd take up too much room in the car." Noctis added, disagreeing with him.

"Come on, guys. He needs us. He has lost memories, travelling with us could help him out." Prompto said, wanting to help him. It was the way he was, wanting to help those in need. Plus, it was, in his eyes, the right thing to do.

Velle shook his head. "I appreciate the idea, guys. But I'm afraid that it just wouldn't work. I'm still not able to remember a lot. I'd probably just get in the way." He said, seeing it the way he did. "I'd be much safer here." Prompto had a bit of a disappointed expression, looking at him. But then Cor came by. And stood in front of them, holding a massive weapon. "I believe this belongs to you." He said, handing it to Velle. Velle looked at it, seeing the way it was designed. It looked like a sword, but there was gears between the double edged blades, as it had two, and between the two blades, was teeth that were red, and had a faint red glow, while being warm. The others had shocked expressions, finding his weapon incredible. Velle held it, and he raised an eyebrow. He then stood up and reflect it against the sunlight. He then had this realization, looking at his weapon. "Yeah... this is my weapon." He said, with a smile, then pressing something by the handle, which looked like some sort of trigger. He pressed it, and the teeth revved up, making a grinding noise. He then grinded it against a rock, making the teeth them light up on fire. Velle then laughed, looking at his weapon. "Oh yeah! I remember it now!" He said, in a tone that made him sound excited to use it. Or it was a tone that may have reminded him of something. Perhaps, the way he acted normally?

"So... his weapons is a flaming chainsaw?" Noctis asked, looking at him.

"Sounds ridiculous at first, until you've seen it with your own eyes." Cor said, crossing his arms. "Your highness. As much as I think it wouldn't change anything, he could be of help to you guys. Or maybe bring him to keep an eye on Jared and Talcott. As well as Iris in Lestalum." He suggested.

Noctis looked at him, and thought about it. They really didn't have anybody to protect them, so maybe he was right. "Yeah, I guess they could use somebody to keep an eye on them." He agreed.

Jennifer looked at Noctis. "Are you sure? You don't have to take him if you don't want to." She said, with a bit of a worried expression and tone.

"Well, with the talk of him having no memory, he deserves to remember. I mean, if I were in his shoes, he'd probably do the same." He answered, looking at Velle, seeing Prompto and Gladiolus next to him and taking a look at his weapon, both of them testing it. Gladiolus held it easily, but Prompto wasn't so successful.

With some more time of chatter, and preparing, Velle was ready to go, with the four. He got in the car, sitting next to Ignis and Gladiolus, since Noctis chose to drive this time, and started the car. They were about to drive off, Velle waving goodbye to the other hunters. He then heard some faint screaming for his name, unlike the people saying goodbye, it was more of calling for him. "Noct, stop the car." He said, already calling him by his short name, despite never hearing it before. Just then Jennifer was running to them, going past the crowd of hunters, having the belt of green liquid needles that he needed. She then stopped, holding onto the car. "You almost forgot this." She said.

Velle looked at it and then smiled, looking at Jennifer. "Thanks, Jennifer." He said, with a smile. He then went over Gladiolus' legs to reach for her and hug her, and then sat back down, with the same struggle of moving between Gladiolus and the front seat. "I'll be sure to visit every so often." He said, as he then told Noctis that they could go, and so they went off. Jennifer smiled, seeing him go off with them. She felt this sting in her heart. Maybe it was the closest thing she had to a child perhaps.

"Wow, it was like you were calling the shots." Noctis said, pointing out when he told him to stop and go.

Velle realized that, and he laughed nervously, looking down with a small smile. "Oh, right. Sorry about that." He said.

It was a little cramped in the back, but he was okay with it, since they had no hood on the car, which it made him feel like there's more open space. He was already excited to see everything. But in all honesty, he was very nervous, to see it. While he was ready, but he heard all the dangers. He could recall the times he would hear hunters talk about the very dangerous creatures out there. But with them, and how he knew they could take out an empire base on their own, he bet he had nothing to worry about. They then went to the next part of the county and Velle couldn't believe what he saw, the meteor that was in the distance, that was just above the ground. He stood up, to look at it, with an awe struck expression on his face. "Wow... what is that?" He asked.

"The disc of Cauthus. A meteor that nearly struck the ground, but Titan caught it, and stills holds it up today." Ignis explained, at least the shorter of it.

Velle kept looking at it, with a look that showed he was amazed. "I can't wait to see what else is in this world. And to have you guys with me, it would be even better."

"Well, we know much about this place as you. We know a bit, but not all of it." Noctis pointed out.

"If it were the case that we knew all of it, than we'd look like tour guides." Prompto joked.

Velle laughed as well, hearing his joke, and he then sat back down. He took a deep breath, showing his excitement was over flowing. The car the went to an immediate stop, everyone being pushed forward, almost hitting their faces against the front seats.

"What's wrong?" Ignis asked.

"Imperials." Noctis said, then turning the engine off of the car, and getting out. Velle then looked up, to see imperial troops dropping from the drop ship. Everybody got out of the car as quick as they could, and Velle did the same. He grabbed his greatsaw, what he calls it, from the trunk, which they luckily fit in the trunk. He then stood behind them, his hands holding the weapon. "So, you guys face these things all the time?" He asked.

Noctis nodded. "But their nothing we can't handle." He said, holding his one handed sword.

"You wanna prove useful, show us what that weapon can do." Gladiolus said, looking at him.

Velle then looked at his weapon, and he grinned, pulling the trigger and making it rev up.
