KuroiNeko89: Ok! I know I said I wasn't going to be able to update today but the problems haven't occurred yet! But it will occur tomorrow! Anyway... I do not own MAR... enjoy!
Chapter 10
Girom stared at Ginta and Ginta stared back at Girom.
"Only one? And it's a brat. Who're you? I'm Girom of the Chess n Koma! Can I assume you're prepared to die?" Girom asked.
Many veins popped on Babbo's head.
"He's not alone! Look again insolent wrench! I'm here!" Babbo yelled.
Girom observed the steel ball before talking.
"Babbo… so you are the one! The guy that Peta was talking about! The one who uses Phantom's ärm! You're a hundred year stoo early brat! Trash like you isn't fit for using such a thing! Come over here! You'll make a good gift for Phantom!" Girom yelled.
"You say your name's Girom, huh. Were you the one that did that to Vestory?" Ginta asked sternly.
Girom smiled.
"Oruko did most of the damage. I was in charge of killing. I especially enjoy doing women! Oh, and Pink haired weirdo did killing and damage!" Girom said.
Pink haired weirdo? Does he mean… Ginta thought.
There was weird sounds coming from the boat. Girom wasn't the only one there. There was a sigh and a yawn.
"Girom… keep your voice down… I'm trying to sleep…" moaned the voice.
Ginta's eyes widened as he saw a figure pop out of the ship and stretching.
"Ah! It's the weird pink haired multiple personality girl! One second she's all childish and happy go lucky the next she's all mature and then she turns into some scary girl who can fight very well!" Ginta remarked making an 'XD' face.
Roxanne looked down to see who it was. She frowned.
"What are you doing here? Seriously! Wherever I go you're always there! Why is that! Midget! Blegh! I thought it was someone decent… but no! Anyway… I shall continue my sleep. Girom you do the rest." Roxanne said slumping on the ground.
Veins popped on Girom's head.
"You lazy woman! I can't believe that you're my rival! C'mon! where's your enthusiasm? You used to be always fired up whenever I asked you for a battle! And now your just some lazy old hag! Get up and fight would ya?" Girom said kicking Roxanne.
Roxanne just mumbled and rolled around the floor.
"Roxanne wants to dream~! Roxanne fight later!" Roxanne laughed her face was all red and she had a weird expression on.
Ginta was just standing there until he realized something.
"Is she drunk?" he asked.
"What?" Girom asked.
"Roxanne's happy! Roxanne wants to eat sparkly purple mushrooms! Roxanne… *mumble mumble* Alviss!" she then collapsed.
"Roxanne! Tsk! I can't believe she was the one who beat at everything! As much as I want to kill her I can't! since my goal is to beat Roxanne!" Girom said kicking the girl away.
Ginta stared at the ship and thought How does she know Alviss? And what did she say about him? All I heard was Roxanne and then she mumbled something and then said Alviss! Man… this girl is drunk alright!
*TLM*
Meanwhile at the Chess no Koma headquarters.
"Halloween sama! I have received news from Phantom! He's currently observing Roxanne and she had just collapsed and fainted. Apparently she has destroyed most of Vestory herself!" a rook reported.
Halloween nodded and smiled, "Good, good… that was exactly what I planned… everything's going well. This girl has an enormous amount of power and could be useful if she knows how to use that power properly we will be able to take over Mär Heaven easily! But too bad she's lazy and that's not her goal so we had to 'poison' her food last night… and now we can control her using an ärm… although there are multiple side effects it's nothing we can do about… after all she is just a bishop… unless she decides to be a knight which is very unlikely but there is a high chance that she can defeat one of the current knights and become a knight." Halloween explained.
The rook nodded slowly thinking I didn't need to know all that… but being scared to defy Halloween he just smiled and said, "That's nice! Um Halloween sama… but when she is possessed it is easy to tell because she acts all out of character and her eyes shift to the colour red!"
Halloween had a worried expression on.
"Oh really? That's going to be a problem… oh well. As long as she doesn't realize this we'll be fine. For the time being we'll leave her… after all she only needs to do two more things before getting one more things before getting two chains off 'that'…" Halloween smiled behind his mask.
*TLM*
At an unknown place….
"Hmmm…. It feels so soft… feels… like grass... wait… grass? Aren't I on the ship? There's no grass on the ship!" Roxanne exclaimed while jumping up.
She looked around she wasn't on the ship anymore… she was in a green area. Where plants and flowers flourished and animals roamed.
"Where… am I?" she asked herself.
She then heard a voice a very familiar voice. One that she knows too well…
"Ahaha! Bet you can't catch me!" the voice said.
"I bet I can!" another voice said.
Roxanne turned around to see a girl with bubblegum pink hair in plaits and a spiky blue haired boy. Her eyes widened.
"Tha… that's me! Wait… I stopped wearing plaits when I was ten! Is this the past?" Roxanne exclaimed.
She reached out her hand to attempt to stop her past self but she just went through Roxanne.
"Tee-hee! You didn't catch up to me Alviss!" the past Roxanne laughed.
Alviss was huffing and puffing while he ran up the hill.
"Oh gosh! Where do you get all that energy from? Seriously! You can just run up a hill without getting tired!" Alviss said catching his breathe and then collapsed.
Roxanne noticed this and ran up to him.
"SANDWICH!" she laughed as she belly flopped on top of Alviss (please don't think the wrong way people! They're just kids!).
Alviss lifted one eyebrow, "What's a sandwich?" he asked completely unfazed because he was used to her doing these things.
Roxanne just laughed, "Never mind!" she smiled.
Roxanne then got off Alviss and held out a hand. Alviss smiled and held her hand while Roxanne lifted Alviss up. Then as Alviss was lifted up and then suddenly Roxanne gave a small peck on the cheek.
"A-ah!" Alviss said in response to the kiss as he fell down on the ground. His face was all red.
Roxanne laughed and handed a small box to Alviss.
"Happy 10th birthday Alviss-chan!" Roxanne smiled.
Alviss stared at the box for a second then took it and smiled, "Thank you Roxanne!" He then carefully opened the box and inside was a plush version of Alviss and Roxanne holding hands. Alviss stared at the plush for a long time without giving a comment. There was an awkward silence until Roxanne spoke up.
"Um… Alviss-chan no likey wiky su?" Roxanne said a bit sad.
Alviss then snapped out of his daydream and stuttered, "Oh no! Of course not! It's very… uh. C-C…." Roxanne tilted her head with a confused look on her face. "C-c what?" she asked. Alviss kept his head down.
"C-Cute…" he muttered.
There was a huge smile on Roxanne's face and then she gave a huge hug to Alviss.
"Tee-hee! Me so glad that Alviss likey wiky* my present I made!" she smiled.
Alviss just had a red face as he was being hugged. He was NOT used to being hugged. There was then sounds footsteps. Both of them went to their defensive stances as the shadow approached and that shadow belonged to…
"Kusa nii-chan!" Roxanne smiled rushing towards the boy.
The boy smiled and picked up Roxanne.
"Yo, Roxanne how's it going?" he smiled.
"Tee-hee goody goody!" Roxanne smiled.
The boy then turned to Alviss.
"It's your birthday right? Happy birthday Alviss!" the boy said throwing an ärm to Alviss.
Alviss calmly caught it. It was a ring that had a skull on it.
"Darkness ärm Sealing Skull! An ärm that allows you to paralyze your opponents but in return you get a lot of pain!" The boy laughed.
Roxanne pouted and frowned then started bonking the boy's head.
"Kuzaku nii-chan! Soo mean! Don't give an ärm like that to Alviss-chan! Roxanne-chan don't want Alviss-chan to suffer pain!" Roxanne pouted.
Kuzaku was attempting to block the bonks.
"Oww! Ow! Ow! Stop bonking me! I'm sure Alviss will manage! Right Alviss?" Kuzaku asked.
Alviss stared at the ärm and then nodded.
"Yes! I will!" he said determined.
Kuzaku then looked at the horizon and then realized it was sunset.
"Oh! Sunset! Time to go! See you guys tomorrow in the 2nd last round of the War Games! Good luck!" he said putting Roxanne down.
He was about to go but then glanced at Alviss holding two soft toys. He smiled.
"Oh Alviss I never knew you still play with soft toys!" Kazuku teased as he ran.
Alviss blushed as he yelled, "I'm not playing with them! They're the birthday gift that Roxanne gave me!"
Kazuku smiled, "Haha! You guys are boyfriend girlfriend after all!"
"No we're not!"
"Oh yes you are!"
"No…" but Kazuku was already a long way away.
(The current Roxanne)**
What are these? Memories? Memories of the past? What is this trying to show me? Ugh! My head hurts… Roxanne thought rubbing her head. Then everything turned black. It was dark. Roxanne couldn't see anything… and then the ground shook. And then it became bright again. Roxanne was now in the War Games?
"Huh?" Roxanne said looking around her.
There were loads of people, they all had shocked faces. Roxanne wanted to asked what was going on. So she tried to tap the man beside her on the shoulder. But her hand just went through the man. Oh that's right… I forgot… I'm not a physical body here… then what am I? An observer? What are these memories trying to show me? Roxanne thought. She then looked at the stage and then she had a shocked face. Kazuku was killed.
"Kazuku nii-chan! Kazuku nii-chan! Don't die! Please say something! Kazuku nii-chan! Onii-chan! Kazuku!" yelled Roxanne attempting to run to Kazuku.
"Kazuku!" Alviss yelled also attempting to run to Kazuku.
But the two were grabbed and held back. Roxanne was grabbed by Alan and Alviss was grabbed by Gaira.
"Don't do stupid things like that! If you go there you'll die!" Alan scolded.
"They'll kill you if you take step in there!" Gaira said sternly.
The two kids said nothing and watched Kazuku getting taken away by the Chess Piece Peta.
"Wait… why are you taking him away? You already killed him and now your taking him away?" Danna exclaimed.
Peta smiled as he picked up the dead body.
"I'm going to dispose this body… and give it to Phantom." Peta smiled as he was floating and then disappeared with his adarta.
Everyone froze and then they started screaming and crying. Especially young Roxanne and Alviss.
"Kazuku nii-chan! Onii-chan! Kazuku nii-chan! Peta! Give back Kazuku- nii-chan!" Roxanne cried.
"Curses! They kill him and take him away! Just after my birthday too!" Alviss said.
Roxanne fell on her knees and cried.
"Waaaaaaah! Kazuku nii-chan! Onii-chan! Onii-chan come back!" she cried.
"Roxanne…" Alviss muttered trying to hold back his tears to look strong in front of Roxanne.
Danna kneeled down and attempted to comfort her.
"Now, now Roxanne. We wouldn't like to see you crying! You're always so bubbly! Don't let this get to you! If you're like this… it'll effect your fighting!" Danna said.
Roxanne was hiccupping.
"R-R-Really?" she stuttered.
"Yes! Now… put a smile on that lovely face on yours!" Danna said ruffling Roxanne's hair.
Roxanne then smiled but tears were streaming out of her eyes. She wiped them.
"I… I will try to be stronger! Roxanne won't cry anymore! I promise!" Roxanne smiled.
"Now that's the Roxanne I know!" Danna said patting Roxanne on the head.
(The current Roxanne)
Onii chan… yes… I remember when this happened… it was so painful… painful memories of seeing my comrades dying one by one… taken away by the Chess. But just now I realized… Kazuku's hand moved a bit while Peta was carrying him! Is he still alive? I better go check! Adarta take me to Lestarva castle! She thought. She was then transported to Lestarva Castle. And to her astonishment Kazuku was completely unwounded and was standing up talking to Peta. They were talking about something… Roxanne didn't hear well. Then she saw Kazuku nod and then Peta handed an earing to him. It was the ones that knight wore. Roxanne gasped and covered her mouth. Kazuku became a chess piece? He was kidnapped like I was? But… why did he accept? No… no… Kazuku is a traitor? The person who I looked up to as a big brother… is a traitor? He betrayed us? No… this can't be! I would rather die than join the Chess! She thought. The ground then shook. An… earthquake? But the people don't seem affected? What's happening? Roxanne thought. It then all went black.
*TLM*
When she opened her eyes she was back on the ship. The ship was all screwed up… and when she looked up she saw a spirit smiling at Ginta… and then she gave Ginta an ärm. Roxanne twitched, she stood up. What? My body… is moving on it's own! Roxanne thought the body then jumped on its own and then it went up to Ginta, and grabbed him. What's happening? My head hurts... ugh! Argh! She thought. Ginta looked at Roxanne with fearful eyes as he saw Roxanne's eyes turn blood shot red and mummers the following words.
"I'm going to kill you…"
KuroiNeko89: Yay! The Lost Memory has ten chapters! Yay! And this wouldn't be possible with your support so thank you! *bow* And um the next chapter is going to be a side story... is that ok? I really want to get my mind off the story line... and I know there is a lot of Roxanne parts here... it's because when I write the Ginta parts I have to copy it off the manga... and it's a pain! But if you really want more Ginta parts please tell me! I will get my laziness out of the way and do it! I had a lot of fun typing this chapter! It was lots of fun writing the parts with Alviss and Roxanne! :3 Anyway... See you in a few days! Bye bye!
* likey wiky: It's how Roxanne says like in a childish way... sorry if it confused you! I wanted to give Roxanne a childish impression... Roxanne is 9 years old in the flashback by the way.
** The current Roxanne: The current Roxanne is the Roxanne we know in the story... sorry if it confused you!
Note: I know Alviss seems a bit OOC... but this was when he was 10! When he wasn't emo yet! So yeah... it was hard to decide what he's personality to be... :3
