F/N: why won't the bars work? ToT Stupid files... (or something like that, XD, maybe stupid FF). Anyways, let's continue. I might not do First/Notes anymore if this keeps happening :P

Star to Star: Legend of the Star Warrior – Chapter 3: Something You Should Always Know

He could hear voices, but couldn't see. Though one was familiar...

"Is he stable yet?" The first spoke.
"We are almost finished with taking it out," The second reported.
"Good. Do you promise to hide them?" A third asked the two.
"Absolutely."
"Thank you."
"Not a problem."
"Sir."

The there was a beeping sound. He tried to open his eyes to see what was going on, but they refused to open. They remained there, shut.

"Sir!" It was the second voice again.
"What is it?" The third, familiar one asked.
"We have finished extracting all of it."
"Very good. When should he be waking up?"

"In about an hour."

He could hear something... Was it a door opening? It wasn't a very familiar sound. Then again, there weren't many sounds he could recognize at the moment. They said an hour. Are they talking about him? Would he be waking up in one hour? Could he not, could his body not let him, open his eyes until that hour was up? Most importantly... Where was he? Where was this place he's at? All he could do for now, more like except listening, would be is to wonder where he could be at. He doesn't know many places. There was no way he could be back in the grass area where he had fallen unconscious. There were too many technical sounds to be there.

Did that man from before bring him here? Are they helping him, trying to bring back to the conscious world? If so, who was helping him? Were they the ones with his life in hands? In one hour, he'll figure out the answers he dreads.

His body remained motionless the entire hour. He couldn't speak. Did he even want to until he got his answers?

Beep

Beep

"Sir!"

It was coming to him now. Finally, he opened his eyes. He only opened them into crescents, not wanting to alarm anyone that he was awake. Wait a moment, didn't they already know he was supposed to be waking up?

"I can see... He's awake." It was the man before. He hovered above the puffball. The man definitely knew that he was awake now.

Guess he couldn't hide it now. The puffball sat up. He opened his eyes wider. He gripped his hands together. It was for sure; he had full control of his body now. Whatever they did to restore his body so quickly was amazing.

"You were quite a pain to heal~" The man joked.
"Can I have some answers...?" That was the first thing the dark-blue sphere spoke since waking up.
"Ahhh... Fine..." The man sighed, knowing he had to some time.

But, in the equivalent to someone's snap, the door leading to the room opened and closed. A knight wearing some variation of the first man's armor trotted in. Though he was at a faster than normal pace. He was short, too. Not even acknowledging the blue puffball on the table, he walked to the other man and said, in a commanding-like voice, "Sir Arthur wants you to see him immediately."

"This moment? Jeez..." The man had just started relaxing. The knight that came in was dismissed and walked away; his sheathed sword colliding into his armor every few steps.

Sighing, the man stood up straight. He turned to puffball, thinking that the reason Sir Arthur called him was sitting there on the table. He wove his hand and the blue sphere jumped from the table, landing on the ground beside the man. His wings transformed back into the cape and they walked out the door.

"What answers do you want?" The man asked.
"First, what is your name?" The puffball asked. He saw it as important to ask.
"Name? It's Jecra." The man named Jecra smiled. He then continued to say, "My turn. What's yours?"
"Don't know." The puffball shrugged.
"That's right... Amnesia... of sorts... I guess." Jecra sighed.
"Where are we?"
"Here?" He seemed to ask something before answering a lot. Maybe it's just assuring himself of the question. "This is the GSA's base."
"What is the GSA?"
"Galaxy Soldier Army."
"What do they fight?"
"A thing called Nightmare."

Nightmare... That name rang in the puffball's head.

"How long have you've been fighting?"
"Who knows. Too long for me to count.
"Who is that Arthur?"
"Quiet!" Did the sphere say that too loud? "Don't call him that! You have to call him Sir Arthur!"
"Why?"
"Just do it when we're in front of him!

They walked up to a large door. Jecra stepped up and pushed it open.

The room was decorated in tech machines nobody was sure what does what. Noticeably, however, there was a table in the middle of the room. There was a chair pulled up and it's occupant was a puffball-like creature wearing armor and had a sword in a sheath at his side.

"Sir Arthur!" Jecra immediately announced.
"Thank you for coming, Jecra." The older knight spoke. Sir Arthur turned his head to Jecra's side and saw the dark blue puffball next to him. "I see you brought him. Made this easier."

"Sir." Jecra lowered his head.
"What is it?"
"Can he please join us?" Jecra pointed right next to him.

Both Sir Arthur AND the puffball came him a surprised look and a confused one from the latter.

"What do you mean, Jecra?"
"He has nowhere else to be. He doesn't know anyone. I'm pretty sure he could fight if we came him a weapon to use!" Jecra tried explaining himself from the words he uttered to his commander.

"You do realize that you will have to help him? If he were to get into trouble, it's on your shoulders." Sir Arthur sighed. He knew Jecra well. When someone disagreed with something he really wanted, there was no way you could get him to let go of it.

"Absolutely, Sir Arthur!" Jecra did a salute, more like thanking the superior for his okay on it.

Sir Arthur nodded and jumped out of his chair. He walked over to Jecra and the puffball. He looked at the latter. Their eyes stared at one another. He finally turned back to Jecra and asked, "What's his name?"

Both shrugged at the superior's question.

"You don't have a name? Or, you don't know it?" You turned back to the dark blue puffball.

He turned his head back and forth without speaking.

"Well, boy." He put his hand on his head. "You should speak up. You are quiet."

The puffball nodded.

"Let's see... A name..." The commander lost himself in thinking.
"Um, Sir..." The puffball mumbled.
"What is it?"
"What is a name? Are you born with it or something...?" The puffball asked.
"Well, no. It's something that is given to you. By your parents. You are supposed to know it forever, basically. It is something you are never supposed to forget."

The puffball realized what he said and moaned. Jecra laughed and patted him on the head, trying to cheer him up.

"Sorry about that." Arthur put his hand on the puffball as well. This kind of cheered him up. But he kind of felt like a little baby with them like that.

Sir Arthur smiled and said, "Your name. I've got it."

Jecra stared at him and the puffball had an eager look now.

"Meta Knight."
