My Heroes: A Hero's Journey
Chapter 30 - Forgotten memories, part 2

"It's just through here," Mahado said as he lead Niri into the little prison set up in the hero base.

"Thanks," Niri replied as she entered to see Duke, Alister and Rex behind the prison bars with Bakura standing guardby the gate door, just taking a cigarette out of the box and put it in his mouth.

"Bakura, I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, no smoking in front of Alister!" Mahado yelled before Bakura could set off his lighter. He then turned to the cell behind him to see Alister smirking like crazy at the sit of his lighter.

"Fine," Bakura sighed as he took the cigarette out his mouth but then noticed the new girl behind him. His eyes widened a little at the sight of her as a female voice echoed through his mind. 'Mr. Constantine, I'd like to ask you a few questions,' the female voice said in his mind as an image flash up with it. The image was of a girl, looking exactly like Niri, but she did not have an eye patch on and had slightly lighter skin.

"Um...hi," Niri greeted as she noticed Bakura looking at her. "I'm..."

"Niri," he said before she could.

"Yes, wow, I take it we must of met in another form of life, but as what though, I wonder," Niri replied as Bakura tired to remain silent. "It's nice to meet you anyway," she said as she held out her hand towards him. "I don't think I caught your name."

But Bakura still remained silent as he looked down at her hand and slowly reached out to shake it, while his mind was somewhere else...

-Flashback-

Bakura and Niri stood in a corridor of an office building waiting for the lift to come up, Bakura glanced at the picture of a spear in is hands in deep thought. He then looked up at Niri and noticed something.

"Where's the amulet?" he asked her as Niri instantly looked down to see that she was not wearing the amulet Bakura gave her earlier to protect her against the evil that they had yet to face.

"I...I don't know" Niri replied as she looked around. "I think I must of left it in the..." she said before she suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Bakura asked, stepping closer to her.

"I don't know, I just feel..." Niri replied, but before she could finish, a great force pulled her backwards, with it crashing through the lift doors and out the other side and through the office.

"Darn it!" Bakura cursed as he chased after her. "Niri! Hang on!" He yelled running after her holding out his arm in order to grab hold of her. "Almost, there!" he said getting a little nearer to Niri. But suddenly he noticed his arm that was out in front of him was suddenly beginning to glow white. The glow then suddenly, rapidly started spreading up his arm and up his body. "What the? What force is this?" he asked himself before he looked back up at Niri, who was flying backwards towards the window. "NIRI!" he yelled before he suddenly his eyes shoot open, but he was not where he was before. He was now surrounded by some strange fluid with in some sort of tank, he also had an oxygen mask on and a few wires sticking out of him. Through the thick liquid and the tank doors, he could vaguely see a few figures watching over him before he let out a load scream…

"Um...can I have my hand back?" Niri asked as Bakura suddenly snapped out of his trance to see that he was tightly gasping Niri hand with both of his.

"Oh…" he replied, as he backed away a bit and Mahado came between them.

"Okay…let's get down to business then," Niri said as she brought out three of the devices she created one at a time and put them each on the table and then looked over at Duke, Alister and Rex who were glaring at her. "Right, who's first?"
