Chapter Fifteen: Settling in
"Yume, that's an interesting name," Rock said.
The boy looked to be around nine or ten years old, but with his startling silver hair and golden eyes he did seem like a dream.
Mind you, if he had been older, glowing green cat like eyes he would have looked like a certain Final Fantasy Seven character.
"Rock, is Rock like," Yume said with an absolutely straight face, for the first time in a very long time Rock found himself smiling a real smile. There was something about this kid.
"Yes, the shame of it all. Poor me, forever taunted by an earthly name," Rock said dramatically, the kid giggled.
"Your silly," Yume said.
"Afraid so," he replied nodding.
"I have to go, I hope we meet again." Yume told the older boy; then he turned and began to run down another path.
"My last name is Light, what's yours?" he called, his only reply was a laugh.
OoOoO
Twenty minutes later, Yume AKA Silver was on a nearby roof. He watched as Rock left the park, the meeting had been… interesting.
What's on your mind Silver? I could feel your thoughts a mile away Pulse asked, the great beast looked at the child like robot calmly.
"I met someone, it was like I should know him. Yet, when he looked at me he only saw a stranger… so it couldn't be that I know him," Silver said sadly.
He turned away from watching his new friend; he looked into Pulse's face. Hoping for something, anything.
You knew his would happen Silver; Azulongmon and the others rebuilt you. But they were unable to rebuild you the way you once were Pulse reminded him.
Silver sighed and looked at his hands, small childlike hands… perfect in every way. For a moment, an image of larger hands covered them... then faded in his minds eyes.
"I'm suppose to be older, why a child! I might not remember who I once was, but I know I'm not suppose to be a child!" Silver yelled angrily. How was he suppose to find himself; when the face looking back from a mirror would always be a strangers.
Silver… Pulse began.
"Leave me alone," Silver said upset; he leapt down into a deserted alley then ran into the busy sidewalks of the city.
Pulse sighed but didn't stop him. After all, how could he comfort Silver when the silver haired boy was saying only the truth.
OoOoO
Silver ran through the streets, an unfamiliar city filled with unfamiliar faces. How would he even find someone who knew him, knew his name, if he couldn't even find his own way.
The only things he remembered; were the things that had happened since he was reactivated. Nothing before that moment, but something told him that yes there had been a before.
It… no he, woke to an emptiness.
Opening golden eyes, he gazed upon the faces of four mighty creatures.
"Who... who am I?" he asked, his first words in a way.
"For now you are Silver… Silver Angel, that will be your name till you find the one you lost," the great dragon creature told him.
"Silver Angel." He whispered, and so Silver had been named.
He hadn't found his real name yet, no matter how far he searched, no matter how he tried to.
Silver was so deep in thought; he never even heard or felt when he bowled over some poor person on the sidewalk.
Why… why couldn't he remember!
OoOoO
"Master Wily," a dark voice said.
"It's time," Wily sneered, "Spread through the City, sleep till its time... and once your all awakened…
"The world the humans know will be gone, you will rule supreme," the dark voice sneered.
"Soon… they will all pay," Wily said.
"Yes, with Pain and blood," the voice said.
"Let the games begin."
OoOoO
It was getting dark out; a chill was in the air. People headed home ready to eat supper and enjoy family quality time, then bed.
Silver watched this from a park bench; it wasn't like he had a place to go for the night. He sighed, in ways the digital world was a much easier place to live.
He looked up as he felt pulse enter the area, looked like his friend had decided he had sulked look enough.
Silver slipped off the bench, then headed into a deserted area. Moments later, Pulse stood before him.
I have word from Azulongmon, he has arranged a human shelter for the time we stay in this world Pulse informed him.
Well, at least this solved some of his problems.
Where? he replied the same way.
Pulse gave him the address; then dropped a set of keys into Silvers hands.
"Thank you," he whispered; then began to walk away.
Silver Pulse said, Silver paused and looked back.
It matters not who you are once were, only who you are now. But, I will stand by your side no matter what Pulse said, Silver smiled at him softly.
"Thanks Pulse, you help keep me sane. Yet… I have to know, no matter what," Silver said, and with that he walked towards his newest destination.
OoOoO
Rock Light, sometimes called Rocky and also known as Megaman to his enemies was hesitating. This wasn't something he did often, but the situation was one he'd rather avoid.
Then with a sigh, he turned the knob and entered a room no one had been in for a very long time. The first thing he did was open a window, the air was musty since this room hadn't had anyone inside for months.
A coating of dust covered everything, giving everything a faded look.
He sat on the bed silently, closing his eyes he almost felt as if Takato was still there. This room sill felt like him, even though his brother no longer existed.
He opened his eyes and knew it was time to face this, no longer could he run away from the many facts.
Smiling, he picked up a picture that was on the small bedside table. It was of Takato and himself; Takato had been trying to teach him to bake. Instead, both had ended entirely white from flour with a what the heck look on the older robots face.
Dr. Light had snapped this picture then.
He put it in a box, and began to pack.
OoOoO
It was a small two-room apartment; it was on the top floor so it had easy rooftop access. Azulongmon had arranged it with enough to make it comfortable, checking the fridge he saw it was stocked.
Then mentally exhausted, the silver haired robot lay down on his new futon. So many new and confusing things, he allowed himself to fall asleep.
