A few hours had passed since Claus went inside his room to wait for the others to call him to tell him their report. Everyone had successfully contacted him and no one else had found any seals besides Tracy. He knew that he should report to the Commander, but he was just to lost in his thoughts to do it. He was worried about how the Commander would react to being told about his past. He knew that if he told the Commander directly he wouldn't believe him. After a bit more thinking Claus decided to just wing it. Getting up he walked over to the door and opened it not even bothering to put his shoes on. Reaching the Commander's room he knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"The General."
"Come in."
Claus sighed. He knew it was now or never. Opening the door he walked in. Upon entering he saw the Commander laying down on the bed watching TV. He saluted to the Commander. "Sir, I have a report to make."
The Commander looked down and frowned. "Why are you barefoot? Do you know how unprofessional it is to come to me not properly dressed?"
"Sorry, I didn't bother putting my shoes on since I was just going next door. I can go put them on if you want."
The Commander waved his hand. "Don't bother, I was only joking. Now what's your report?"
"All of the children have finished their search. Tracy is the only one who found a seal. The location is underneath a house inside a secret cavern."
The Commander nodded his head. "Thank you for the report."
"You're welcome. Now I'll just take my leave."
Claus was about to leave when the Commander's voice stopped him.
"Wait."
Claus turned around with a puzzled look on his face. He had hoped that the Commander would stop him even though he didn't think he would. "Yes?"
The Commander patted down on the bed. "Come sit down and watch TV with me."
Claus was surprised that the Commander would even ask him. As far as he knew the Commander hated his guts and now he was basically asking him to spend time with him. Walking over to the bed he climbed on it and sat down next to the Commander with his legs spread out and his feet touching the bed. He noticed how soft the quilt was and he enjoyed how the softness felt on his bare soles. He then turned his attention to the TV to see what the Commander was watching. He saw a women banging on a door screaming at someone named Tommy to open the door while a figure was getting closer and closer.
"What are you watching?"
The Commander just grinned. "Halloween. They're having a marathon and it's not even Halloween yet."
Claus blinked as he looked back at the TV to see the women telling a boy to hide upstairs. He could tell that this was a horror movie and to be honest he never seen a horror movie before due to Lucas being prone to nightmares.
"What's it about?"
"Okay basically the main villain is Michael Myers who is also the Boogeyman. When he was a kid he murdered his sister and was sent to a mental hospital where he stayed until he escaped. He found out that he has another sister and now he is out to kill her too. With him being the Boogeyman he can't die."
"Interesting." Suddenly an idea came to Claus on how he can hopefully get the Commander in a good mood enough to answer his questions. Reaching over he grabbed the Commander's left foot and placed it in front of him.
The Commander looked over at Claus with a glare on his face. "What are you doing?"
Claus didn't say anything as he began to massage the Commander's flesh bare foot.
The Commander's glare went away as he sighed happily. "Oh yeah, that feels so good. Please don't stop."
Claus smiled seeing that his plan seemed to have worked. Testing it out he decided to ask the first question that came to his mind. "Say Commander, do you know who Giygas is?"
"Somewhat. I know that I'm fused with his DNA and that Master Porky had originally worked for him. Other then that I don't know anything."
"Well he was the Universal Cosmic Destroyer. A boy named Ness was chosen to destroy him so he and 3 others went on an adventure to stop him. Ness went through many trials and collected the 8 melodies and eventually was able to absorb the Earth's power in order to be strong enough to defeat him. So he and his friends traveled to the past and defeated him saving the entire universe from his wrath. Apparently Giygas was once known as Giegue which is the same alien that Ninten fought."
"I see. This Ness character seems to be quite the hero. Is he strong?"
Claus nodded his head. "He is indeed strong. Though 4 years ago he was apparently attacked and now he's gone missing. No one even knows if he is still alive or not."
"Pity I would have enjoyed fighting him. It just so happens that I was built 4 years ago."
"Okay, what do you think of Tracy?"
"Tracy? She's strong and one of the best fighters out there."
"Do you see her as a sister?"
The Commander rubbed his chin. "Now that I think about it she did call me brother. I told her that she'd mistaken me for someone else. Now do I see her as a sister? I guess if she wants it. It all depends."
"What about the names Michael and Lucy? Do they mean anything to you?"
"No, why would they? Who are they?"
Claus wanted to say that they were his parents, but he knew that he couldn't. "Ness's parents."
"Why would I know anything about Ness's parents? It's not like I'm related to him or anything. Now why are you asking me these questions?"
"No special reason."
The Commander pulled his foot away from Claus's hands. "Well I'm done answering questions. Now let me watch the movie."
Claus nodded his head as turned around only to see that the movie was over. He remembered the Commander saying that there was a marathon so he continued to watch the movies with the Commander. Suddenly he felt something on his left hand and he looked down to see that the Commander was actually holding his hand. He looked up and it would seem that the Commander wasn't even realize he was doing it. Claus didn't know if he should say something or not. The metal hand was surprisingly warm unlike his which is cold to the touch. He guessed that the arms have an internal heating system inside which keeps them warm. After thinking for a minute he decided to tell the Commander what he was doing.
"Um sir?"
"Yes?"
"You're holding my hand."
The Commander looked down and saw that he was indeed holding Claus's hand. His face turned red as he quickly pulled his hand away. "Forget that ever happened."
"Yes sir."
Claus began to wonder if the Commander still loved him deep inside. Well he had to considering that he was holding his hand and not to mention that he blushed when he was caught. This made him happy. If he could get the Commander to fall in love with him then maybe his memory would come back. Since it seemed that telling the Commander about his past didn't seem to do anything he thought that this would be the best choice. He didn't say anything as the next movie had just started.
Sometime during the 5th movie a Pigmask had come up and delivered the Commander his dinner which was a hamburger with fries. The Commander had requested that Claus be brought food and so the Pigmask came back with food for Claus.
When the last of the movies was finished Claus left and went back to his room. When he walked inside he saw that Lucas was laying down on the bed staring at the ceiling. Claus looked at the alarm clock and saw that it was 9:00pm. He frowned knowing that Lucas was waiting for him.
Lucas upon hearing a door shut looked over and saw Claus standing by the door. "There you are Claus. When I came here I saw your shoes were still here so I thought that you went to see the Commander to tell him your report. After an hour had passed I began to get worried and I was tempted to knock on the Commander's door, but I was afraid to. Anyway what were you doing in there for so long?"
"Watching some horror movies with the Commander. The thing is he asked me too."
Lucas made a face. "Ugh, horror movies. So did you try to get his memory back?"
Claus remembering his failure sighed sadly. "Yes, but it didn't work out. Though I still think that he is in love with me deep down. I mean he held my hand and actually blushed too."
Lucas smiled. "That's great! If you can make him fall in love with you then maybe his memory will come back."
"But what if it doesn't work?"
Lucas frowned the thought never crossed his mind. His brother made a good point. If it didn't work then there was nothing else they can do. He hoped that it would work. "Well let us pray that it does. Now I'm tired so I'm going to bed." Lucas went underneath the covers and soon fell asleep.
Claus changed out of his clothes and into his pajamas. He then climbed into the bed and soon fell asleep.
The Commander was staring at the wall with a blank expression on his face. He had to admit that he enjoyed spending time with the General despite his previous hatred toward him. He then thought about when he was holding the General's hand. He didn't even realize it until he was told and he didn't understand why he did it in the first place. He sighed before deciding to get over it. He closed his eyes deciding to get some sleep.
The Commander found himself inside a bedroom. He looked around until he saw a crib in the middle of the room. Walking over to the crib he looked down and saw a small baby with purple eyes staring back at him or more like through him. He found himself reaching down to touch the baby only for his hand to go right through the baby. He frowned wondering why he was here. Suddenly the sound of a door opening was heard and he turned around to see a blonde haired women and a black haired man walk in. He watched as they walked over to the crib and stood in front of it.
The man placed a hand over the woman's back. "We did good didn't we Lucy?"
"Yes Michael we did. He sure is cute isn't he?"
"Yeah he sure is."
"Hey place that cap on him."
Michael walked over to a stand and picked up a worn cap before placing it on the baby's head.
The cap was way to big as it covered his entire head. The baby simply giggled at this.
Lucy laughed. "It looks good on him, but it's way to big."
Michael picked the cap back up and placed it back on the stand.
The baby turned around and held his hand out toward the cap.
"I think he wants it back."
Suddenly the baby's hands started glowing blue as a blue aura surrounded the cap causing it to float in the air. The cap floated toward the baby before plopping down on his head. The baby smiled before clapping his hands.
Lucy sighed as she placed a hand to her chest. "He honestly scares me when he does that. I'm afraid of him hurting himself, he is only 2 months old after all."
"Relax sweetie, his powers aren't mature enough to lift heavy objects just yet. Sure he was born with these powers, but he'll master them in no time."
"I hope your right."
With that said both Michael and Lucy left the room.
The Commander stared in confusion as he had watched the entire scene unfold in front of him. The names he heard them call each other were the same names that the General told him. They were Ness's parents so that meant that the baby was Ness. The looked down at baby Ness and frowned wondering why he was dreaming about this Ness character when he didn't even know him.
Suddenly the sound of an alarm clock was heard waking the Commander up from out of his dream. He turned the alarm clock off before getting ready for the day with last nights dream still fresh in his mind.
