Chapter 10: Who am I?

The team looked at the strange person who was leaning by a tree. He wore a long brown cloak that covered his body. His arms were crossed in front of him, covered in black armor with silver lines running down the arms. A round hat made of weeds was pulled over his face at a slant, covering it, but they could catch a glimpse of part of the cloak covering his mouth. "Who are you?" Odd asked. "I can tell you one thing," he replied," I am not an ally of the one you call XANA." "How do we know that?" Ulrich asked. Just then, the unknown fighter took out a shuriken from his cloak and, just as quick as he took it out, threw it into the trees. Just then, one of XANA's robots fell form the tree, the shuriken lodged in its head, and dropped into the digital void. "That's how you can believe me."

"They were spying on us." Yumi said. "What gave it away?" Odd sarcastically remarked. "Please, be quiet and let me talk." The unknown one said. "We don't really trust other beings who are here." Aelita said. "I know what your status on other things here other than those creatures," the person said, "but, the problem is," I don't even know what I am?" "What are you getting at?" Odd asked. "I think he means he has amnesia." Yumi said. "To say the least," the unknown one said," I just came to be this way." "That's strange." Aelita said. "Quite. But, before I get to business. Would any of you possibly know who I am?" "Can't say we encountered you before." Ulrich said. "Maybe if you removed.." Aeltia began. "I can't show my face," he interrupted, "I don't know if I get identified as being as an enemy of someone here."

"One what you said," Yumi said, "I can't say we can trust you." "You'll never get anything if you have that attitude." The person said. "Okay. What is it that you want?" Ulrich said. "I'm here to tell you about you're battle with those three warriors." He replied." Yeah, so?" Odd asked. "I have to say that was incredibly terrible," he said," I mean, if everyone one of you keep up fighting like that, all of you will go with this world." "We don't need advice from someone we don't know." Ulrich shot back at him. "Well, I say you better start. With that fighting style, I say you'd be gone the next time you meet them."

"I'll make you eat those words!" Ulrich yelled, drawing his katana and charging at the unknown one. He slashed at him, but, in a quick motion, he drew a scimitar from his cloak and blocked the sword. Ulrich continued to swing at him, but the cloaked fighter kept blocking the blows as he held the scimitar in one hand. Ulrich then slashed at his head, but the fighter dropped down and tripped Ulrich. Ulrich fell to the ground as the scimitar's edge was pressed against his neck. "Now, are you going to listen to me or do I have to do the job that those three couldn't accomplish." Ulrich then said, "Okay." The fighter sheathed the blade as Ulrich got up.

"Moving on," the fighter said, "the thing is you have to become much stronger then them." "How do we do that?" Ulrich asked. "Follow me." He said. "Might as well. We need as much Strength as we can get." Odd said. "Before we go," the masked fighter said as he took out some berries and threw them towards Yumi," eat those on the way. They may not have taste, but they'll bring your hit points back up." With that the four followed the strange fighter.

Meanwhile...

I don't get it," Herb said, looking at a screen in front of him, "the scout we sent must be on the fritz." "No. Its right." Sissy replied. "I thought he was gone." Nicholas said. "Me too. But there he is." Herb said. "We better go get rid of them." Sissy said. "Very well. But, if it fails, he might be useful."

Where is the mysterious person taking them? Do those three know him? Find out in Chapter 11!
