Yeah I wrote this and chapter 14 at the time after when I was in the hospital and I was not able to type for weeks which could explain why there was a huge delay.

I am completely Sorry for those of you who do not enjoy this fanfic mainly because of the major grammar errors. Stupid program that I immediately regret it because it made me look stupid as well. I stopped using long time ago but that would not change the fact that the early chapters will not be changed.

I am also sorry that I have changed my front cover for this story. I see that most of you are confused of the wolf's appearance ever since I posted the front cover. Of course the wolf is a lot different than Lycanroc (midnight form) from his posture, legs, and obviously that huge block of fur behind the back, and what ever seems off. When I first saw the leaks of Lycanroc's form, I just assume it was him at first sight. You guys don't have to force yourselves to imagine Lycanroc as part of the story, you could just follow what you believe.

This upload was not suppose to be uploaded until a curtain time next week but I did this so I could apologize to those of you for my grave mistakes I have done in the past.

Hope you still enjoy this story throughout the way.

I am retiring from being Coolsnerd because I have made a lot of mistakes and I am not the same as I was before so I am changing my name to Nero Nightslasher from now.

Ch 15: Faith

Feeling frail in place as the wolf's eyes starts to open due to the light of day that shines through the window, which also lightens the room he is in. The place is empty with him alone, the fact that it is wide. Plainly looking around so, nothing but white and covers which the only user could use. He saw a thin tube that runs from his side of the bed to his wrist. Curiously wondering in his surroundings.

"So how is he?"

"He appears to be okay but he seemed to have hearing loss at this point. I just hope it is not permanent"

"I was going to give him these because I saw that he had problems with his hearing accuracies not sure if it should work for this situation" he said showing the obects to the doctor

"You made these?"

"Yes, and they were meant to calibrate the standard of sound wave"

"It's worth a try...just be careful, though"

Tail stepped into the room seeing the wolf in the hospital's bed, appears the wolf did not have the greatest treatment telling by the fact he has been strapped to the bed and a muzzle being placed around his face like an animal would be wearing. Was he that rigorous?

The wolf's ears did not perked up at the sound the door made. But he did made a frowning face at the Fox before he turns his face in the opposite direction, trying to avoid seeing each other.

"Hey there," Tails sheepish said, "um...how are things going along?"

He remained silent as has no clue the fox was even talking to him.

"ARE YOU MAD!?"

"AH!" the wolf grunts in pain as he felt a drum banged to his ears going through his sensitive ears to his ear drums.

"Sorry I have to this."

The wolf still suffering from sound waves approaching in ears, make his ears itch as he wishes he had his hands available at this point. The only thing he can do is rub his ears against the pillows as much as possible. He did not hear a word what Tails just said.

"But I believe I have just the thing to end this." The fox said as he grabs something in his handy bag.

The wolf saw what the Fox is doing as he looks inside what looks like his pouch. 'Do they allow him to carry his bag before he walked into the room? What if he was told to brings something that puts me back to sleep again? What if he tries to commit homicide? What if...' the wolf could not bare to see what may happen, squinting his eyes shut to prepare himself for the worst.

"There. Is this better?" He said as he placed two small objects in his ears, one on each ear.

The wolf felt different than what he had expected. The sound is no longer chasing him.

"Here, let me remove this for you," he said, he reached for the straps around his ankles, wrists, and the strap that goes around his arms and chest now feeling relieve from being stressed and getting forced to sleep in one position for a long time.

The doctor made an appearance and saw the young fox unstrapping the vicious wolf they had treated before.

"WAIT! Don't do it."

"Trust me, Doctor" reaching from the back of the wolf's head to untie the contraption that tightens around his muzzle. He felt free from being contained as he looked directly at the fox's eyes with comfort and confusion, leaving him lost in thought, 'why?'

The fox noticed the color of his eye that does not appear to be covered by his bangs glows beautifully even without the sunlight. He also saw a tint of sadness in his eyes he had tried to hold on.

"See doctor. There's nothing to be afraid of. He just had a bad day, that's all."

"Incredible...when we tried to get him the proper treatment he needs, he just keeps moving around and trying to bite anyone who gets near him."

"Yeah, I believe he does that when he's frightened, right?" he said as he turned to face the wolf. The wolf made a grin of embarrassment as he rubs the back of his head.

"Well, that's settled, mind telling me what's your name Mr..."

"I'm pretty sure he's a wolf"

"So, Mr. Wolf. How do you rate your pain for me?"

The wolf did not want to be treated by doctors any longer than he should, he just wants to get back on his feet and find his memories.

He answered by putting up 1 finger with a fake smile on his face. He saw the fox, he heard him claimed to be named Tails, puts his palms on his forehead.

"I see, so nothing will happen if I do this," the doctor said as he gave a poke on the wolf's left leg, making him howl in pain. "I'll take that as a 10, which also includes the right arm. How could you possibly have got enough strength to fight your way through 5 doctors with those injuries"

"I tried treating him myself, but, who knows" the Fox said.

"Hmm...looking at the x-ray, you might need some special treatments to heal properly."

"And how long will that be for him to stay?"

"About a few weeks until he could watch over himself. In the meantime, I will give you until tomorrow to tell me your name, sir, but no pressure, I'll see you as soon as I can to treat you."

As the doctor exit and shut the door behind him, leave the fox and the wolf alone in the room. An awkward moment had occurred, facing strangers they have just met. Until, ironically, one broke the silence.

"Why did you help me?" the wolf spoke for once

"Well, you saved my life twice in one day. I'm not sure how I can repay you."

"But, I've tried to hurt you."

"I would never leave anyone in need for help, that's all."

"But you were trying to give me up."

"Give you up? What do you mean?"

"I over-heard you agree with the red echidna"

"Oh, that's what it was all about...er...sorry you've felt that way against me, but I believe you left so soon that you didn't heard me rejected him. Now have you?"

"What?"

"I've disagreed with him because I believe you are not part of the problem, now are you?."

"Of course NOT! Never I was near that guy when he acused me of a bandit and some energy I have no idea I hold that could cause a threat to anyone"

"Don't worry about Knuckles, he's always as gullible as anyone can be. Don't tell me, he punched you in the face for no reason, right?"

"How'd you know?"

"Simple, he told me he gave you a knockout. I'm pretty sure that would be your jaw."

"You sure know a lot, kid."

"Thanks. By the way, how did managed to stay active and not worry about your injuries?"

"Beats me. I never noticed it until now. Although, I don't seem to be healing right now to move out of this bed"

"So...um...I've never got your name."

That pause the wolf from speaking. Their conversation was going so well up until the fox asked for an answer he, himself, does not know. He felt his heart start to ache, filling his sadness. Perhaps he might as well be humiliated for not knowing his own personal identity. He starts to have tiny flecks of dark energy getting out of his chest from before. Tails also noticed it as well.

"Is something wrong?"

"Well...I don't...remember...I don't know who I really am...or what I was meant to do."

"You know what, why not giving you a new name for now. That always starts with something other than being nameless."

"Well...I would per-fered to be called something other than the fool who causes ha-voc in this place."

They both went into deep thought. Thinking of a perfect name.

"Eesh, if only Sonic where here to help. He always comes up with the coolest name that matches."

"(sigh) I got nothing. I couldn't even think of one simple thing like 'sticks.'" he said as he saw a jar full of sticks by the counter.

"Well...hard to say that that name is taken."

"...Neh, I never asked to be named Sticks anyways."

"I know! why not Nero."

"Nero?"

"Yeah, because we first met during the night and you saved me twice, so taking N in night and replacing the H in hero."

"Hmm...the night hero...I...like it," the wolf said feeling full of glee other than feeling down. He closed his eyes with calm passion, he would eventually know who he is but he first he wants to remember this moment. The moment he feels the warm light from with him, something he wishes to never forget.

All of a sudden, Tails starts seeing Nero, the wolf, glowing green for some reason. Seeing him calm on his bed during the process, he was astounded at the energy that runs on him.

As the wolf took a deep breath, the glow slowly starts to fade away as he opens his emerald eyes once again.

"(yawn)" his mouth opened wide and stretched his arms away, "What time is it?"

"Nero...how did you possibly...stretched?"?"

"What?" he said as he flexes his right arm that was once painful to move; as well as his jaws, moving his arm in a different movement, "How did that...what just happened?" he looked at his body and saw the scrapes and bruises are completely gone. He detached the needle from his left arm, which starts leak after removing it from his flesh and Tails quickly got to the IV and shut it off before dropping more liquid onto the ground, he got himself shifting out the bed and took his first steps to the cooling field.

The same doctor had stepped into the room with an assistant carrying his appliances. Again, he saw a miracle strikes on the wolf, seeing him stand on own two legs like nothing had ever happened, leaving the doctor shocked in his place.

"Incredible! But how... the x-ray had shown fractured bones on your leg and arm..." the doctor saw the wolf doing a couple of stretches of his own, pulling one leg back as well as the other and twists his back from left to right while leaving him discussing.

"Well, now that I'm practically healed. May we leave for the day."

"For sake, how did you got yourself to heal in less than an hour...this is a joke. Can you come with me once again."

"Why should I? I'm all right, what more do you want to see."

"Just checking to see if you are not trying to get away from the treatment."

"So you are expecting to wear a cast for no reason? Nope" as he stood there with his arms crossed

"But...Alright, not much I can do here. But kid, tell me, what's your name?"

"I'm Nero, the wolf."

He said as left with the two tailed fox, walking out the exit. The wolf had realized from his surroundings, he is not in the locaion he was before. Tails saw the wolf's nose sniffing the area in confusion.

"We're in Station Square, Nero"

"It's...amazing." he said looking at the streets with vehicles riding around, really tall building, and the smell of food in the air, "Just not sure if I'll be able to find my memories out here. It's huge..."

"You could come with me if you like"

"But that will put you in to bigger problems"

"Well, someone who is in a concussion or has memory loss should not be left alone with no clue of their surroundings"

"Sigh, fine." the wolf said, "Until then, I will be leaving if I find my memories"

"Sure"

(Area Unknown)

"Good...Master emerald, check. 3 emeralds? What happened to getting the others?"

"Well, sir, you see there was a slight problem" the unknown voice said as they shown the remains of the robotic hedgehog now dismantled.

"Impossible! I designed it to be fast and indestructible! There is no way someone could have-" The leader looked closely to the robot and saw a hint of purple gas like energy with gold sparks flying from the inside. "That's strange...one of you go gather the energy from metal Sonic, gather it as much as you can and bring it to me"

"Right away sir"

"Excellent"

Cliffie?

Yes, the answer is Nero, aka, Devil may Cry 4. While I was still searching for the perfect name for the wolf during the process writing this story, I found this game interesting and I was obviously playing Nero's side of the story instead of Dante. I say, he has a very good personality who has a curtain level of seriousness that mostly matches the wolf (Shadow is too serious). I had enough, I do not want to say that Nero is a lot like my character but I'll leave you guys make that decision. It's been a while since I played the game so don't expect me to be accurate at my words.
