Chapter 15 Memories and Attacks at the Airport
I own what I own. All official characters belong to Capcom. Zoey and Abrie (not the NEASOM Abrie) belong to my friends.
OoO-scene change
"WAKE UP, ED-SAN! ELITE-SAN EMAILED YOU!" yelled, you guessed it, Abrie at about 5 am. "Stop yelling every morning and why do you call me Ed-san all of a sudden?" asked Edward as he threw a pillow to her face and stepped into the bathroom that was in his room.
'I keep thinking he remembers,' thought Abrie, 'Because of that car accident he lost his memory.' Abrie went back to her room.
ABRIE'S FLASHBACK
Two-year-old Abrie was sitting in a corner in her house crying. Her family had just gotten killed by a serial killer and she was the only one left. "Mama, daddy, Jack," she whimpered. She and her family had just come home when the killer came in and killed them. Abrie hid behind the couch and watched as her family was killed.
She heard someone come in the room and hid herself. Police officers searched around and one of them found her. "Are you okay, little girl?" She nodded, "Mama, daddy, and Jack aren't though," she said as tears started pouring down her cheeks. "It'll be okay. Can you walk?" She nodded, "What's going to happen?"
"We'll see who you're going to live with. How old are you?" asked the police officer as he helped Abrie stand up. "I'm two years. Where are we going now and what's your name?"
"You speak very well for a two year old. My name is hard to pronounce so you can call me Officer." Abrie walked outside of her house with Officer, "I like to say I'm two years, because I'm not old yet. So I don't say I'm two years old."
"What happened?" asked a man that was about 18-21 years old. "Someone killed Mama, daddy, and Jack," said Abrie sadly. "Are you okay, little girl?" asked the man. Abrie nodded, "I'm Abrie and I'm two years. Who are you?" The man smiled, "I thought you were four by the way you spoke. I'm Edward. Pleased to meet you, Abrie-san." "Edward-san, what are you doing right now?" asked Abrie. "Oh, I'm a part time, almost full time, butler. I'm just shopping for food, and then I get the rest of the day off."
"We should go now, Abrie," said Officer. "Can I please stay here with Edward-san?"
"I'm sorry, but no," said Officer. Abrie forced a smile, "Bye, bye, Edward-san. It was nice meeting you." Edward nodded, "Pleased to meet you, too. Have a good day and I hope things work out."
OoO
It was a few days later and Abrie stayed at the police station because all her relatives were either dead or lived so far away that they didn't know her. "Can we go on a walk Officer?"
"Before we go, I need to tell you something," said Officer. Abrie sat up and looked at him. "Tomorrow, if we can't find anyone for you to live with, then we'll have to send you to the orphanage."
"I hope things work out for me," was all she said. "Would you like to go on that walk now?" She nodded, "Can we go to the park?"
When they got to the park, Officer sat on a bench as Abrie sat under a tree. "I wonder what mama, daddy, and Jack are doing right now in heaven," wondered the lavender haired girl. She laid back and looked up at the leaves and sky.
"I'm so lonely with nothing to do." She looked over to the sidewalk and saw Edward. She jumped to her feet and ran over, "Edward-san, Edward-san! It's me, Abrie!"
He looked to see the lavender haired girl stop in front of him, "Abrie-san, nice to see you again! Who do you live with now?" The two year old looked down at the question.
"I have to go to the orphanage this tomorrow." "Oh, my. Who are you here with now?" Abrie looked up, "I'm here with Officer. Are you on break, Edward-san?" He nodded, "I don't work on weekends."
"Abrie what are you-oh. Hello, Edward-san," said Officer. "Do you want to play with me, Edward-san?" Edward laughed, "Sure, I'll push you on the swings. Is it okay with you, Officer?"
"Fine, you can take care of her for the day. Just give me your number so we can contact you." Edward nodded and gave him his PET number.
Officer left and they started walking to the swings. "You're lucky you have a PET. Daddy said I was too small to have one, but mama said I was really smart and wouldn't loose it." Edward took out his PET, "I bet you are smart. Do you want to meet my navi?" Abrie nodded.
"This is Ropeman." He showed his navi. "Hello," said Ropeman with a nod.
Abrie got on the swings and Edward pushed her, "Edward-san, do you like kids? Please tell the truth." "Of course I do. I am the butler of a girl that is eight years. Next summer I am going to Creamland for a summer long vacation."
"Cool! Is the girl coming with you?" Edward shook his head, "No, she's staying in her home in Ameroupe. She went back yesterday."
"Do you think I'll be okay tomorrow?" "I don't know to tell the truth, but I wish you the best of luck."
"Weeeeeeeeee!" squealed Abrie as Edward pushed her up high. "Would you like to get some ice cream with me when we're done?" "Can we get it now? I haven't had ice cream since forever! But mama said it was last month at my Auntie's house."
Edward smiled, "Well, you should enjoy it now, since you haven't had it in a long time. You can call me Ed and let's make this a fun day!"
END FLASHBACK
'After that day, Ed-san let me live with him and took me to Creamland with him. He was in a car accident halfway through the summer and had really bad amnesia. He didn't remember me and when I was four I became Princess Pride's personnel secretary. I didn't see Edward until Pride-san came here to Japan. He was forming NEASOM and he let me join; only knowing me as someone he thinks he saw before.'
"OW! Saiba you baka! Don't leave your sword lying around so people can trip and cut themselves!" yelled Edward from the other room.
'Wait, that isn't right. I thought Saiba sucks at all sword combat?'
OoO
"What do you mean? I don't own any swords, baka!" yelled Saiba as Edward picked up the sword. It was thin, but still sharp. "Does anyone do sword combat and owns one?"
"I don't think so. Who does it belong to?"
Elite suddenly jumped down from nowhere and landed in front of the two. "I do sword combat, Edward."
"Elite-san! This is the first time we've seen you in person!" Elite took his sword and put it away, "Edward, go to the airport. I want you to make sure that the dimensional area appears over the airport. Including runways. Try to bring back a hostage. I will not be here tonight, so I will put Saiba in charge, if he can't then you take over, Edward."
OoO
"WHY AT 5 IN THE MORNING ?!" screamed Mary as she left for the airport. "It seems this Elite person wakes up early," replied Ribbon.
"His favorite saying is probably "Early to bed, early to rise," muttered Mary.
OoO
"Perfect," said Edward as the dimensional area formed. He performed cross fusion as R Ribbon landed by a runway. 'Music! Rosesade was supposed to be coming today! Make sure he doesn't get her since her plane is coming soon.'
"Looks like you're here. Let's get started, shall we?"
R Ropeman formed some ropes into a sword. "Battlechip, Fire Sword!" R Ribbon tried slashing it at the ropes, but when they were cut, they just formed back into strong ropes.
"I thought swords were supposed to cut easily through your ropes! MelRose must have said something wrong."
"MelRose, eh? Well, she's right. Swords cut Ropeman's ropes, but in cross fusion, it takes more then a sharp blade to cut my ropes. Zeus Hammer Battlechip!"
R Ropeman swung the hammer at an airplane and destroyed the gas tank.
"Flame Body Battlechip!" He activated it and burned R Ribbon, also setting fire to the gas that was every where. People rushed out of the plane, screaming and crying.
"Oh, no." R Ribbon crashed through the plane walls and looked around. "Battlechip Aqua Tower!" She slammed her palm on the ground and put out the fires.
"Music, behind you!" yelled a voice. R Ribbon turned and saw a rope coming at her. She tried dodging but the rope tied her up.
"You're choking me!" gasped R Ribbon. "Music, try freezing his ropes!" yelled a voice as Rosesade jumped down from the airplane and kicked R Ropeman across the face.
"B-battlechip, Sword!" R Ribbon cut the rope and landed on the ground. "Rosesade, are you all right?"
"Of course I am! Why are you asking me that? You were the one choking! Now go beat some sense into that NEASOM member!"
R Ribbon sweatdropped, "Good point, battlechip Ice Seed!" R Ribbon threw the seed and froze R Ropeman.
"Battlechip Long Blade!" She slashed him and he defrosted. "Wow, one more hit and we won! Battlechip Lava Seed!" The football like seed formed in R Ribbon's hand.
"Don't think about throwing that. Unless you want that soldier's sister to die," said R Ropeman as he held Rosesade in front of him, with an arm around her neck.
"A human shield? Classic and old fashioned," said Rosesade. "You, shut up!" yelled R Ropeman as he formed a rope sword. "Tell me to shut up?! You should let me go!" Rosesade jumped up a bit and kicked him in the stomach before landing next to R Ribbon and catching her blue shoulder bag.
R Ropeman crossed out, "Well, looks like you beat me, Summers. I guess I can't do anything now other then wait to be arrested." R Ribbon crossed out, "Are you serious?" asked Mary.
"I think he's up to something," muttered Rosesade. "Smart friend, Summers. Say good bye!" Edward pressed his symbol button and Ribbon and Music were sent to NEASOM HQ.
"Now, I'll just take you as hostage, and leave," said Edward as the dimensional area fell and he grabbed Rosesade. Saiba's helicopter appeared and he dropped down a rope ladder.
Edward grabbed on and dragged Rosesade behind him. The helicopter started flying away with them still on the ladder. Rosesade suddenly swung her blue shoulder bag and hit Edward in the face. He let go because something that was really hard hit him.
"What's in the damn bag?!" demanded Edward as Rosesade put her bag on her shoulder. "That, I refuse to tell you. Bye!" She shut her eyes and let go of the rope ladder, falling toward the ground.
OoO
"What happened?" asked Pride as she appeared on the screen. "Rosesade-san jumped off a helicopter ladder. Surprisingly, I half caught her in time. She was unconscious though," said Raika as Lieutenant appeared on the screen.
"Just call me Rosesade." The four looked over to see Rosesade sitting up. "Rosesade, are you alright?" asked Pride. "Hai, where's my bag?!"
"Here, what's in it?" asked Steve as he handed her the bag. "Oh, um, make-up, and stuff," replied Rosesade as she looked through it. "Rosesade, you don't wear make-up. I think you actually hate it," said Lieutenant. "Whenever there was a party or something, the servants always had to force her to wear it," said Pride.
"I could imagine that," said Lieutenant with a chuckle. "Shut up, Laika," said Rosesade as she went to her room.
OoO
"What exactly are you planning to do with me?" asked Kari as she sat tied up on a couch. "Not much, make a Dark Slura, close to making something that would make Dark Kari."
"Nani?! How are you going to do that?!" yelled Kari. "Like this," said Elite as he injected a shot into her. The dark purple liquid went into Kari as she screamed in pain, then was knocked out cold.
"Midnight should be here soon," said Elite as he left the room with Kari's PET.
OoO
"What are you doing tomorrow?" asked Pride. "I'm going to HQ and use a dimensional area room. I'm going to practice fencing with Searchman," said Lieutenant as he went back into his PET.
Pride went into Rosesade's computer and found her looking at something green, white, and some yellow. "Rosesade?"
The teal haired girl quickly put the object back into her bag and looked at the computer, "Oh, hi Pride. Do you need something?" "I was wondering if you were doing anything tomorrow."
"Oh, um, I'm going to be somewhere. I might be gone all day," replied Laika's sister. "Where are you going?" "Oh, um, nowhere really. I might see Jay. I might go to the beach."
"You like Jay a lot, don't you?" asked Pride. "What? Oh, um, not really. As a friend of course. He was my best friend since I came to the school. It was a shock when he asked me to that dance a few months ago."
"Oh yeah, I remember that. You had a broken arm back then. Surprising what Netto can do, right?" "Hai, well, I'm going to get ready for tomorrow. You should go back to Knightman. Oh, and if you're looking for something to do tomorrow, hang out with Laika. It'll make him happier," said Rosesade as she sent Pride back to Knightman's PET.
OoO
"What has Abrie been thinking about the whole day?" asked Nicole as she came to the table. NEASOM members for some odd reason had dinner together sometimes, but Abrie wasn't with them this time. "I don't know. She seemed to think a lot about something this morning," said Edward.
"Mayba cas her pair pants dad," said Saiba through a mouthful of food. "Maybe cause her pair pants died? What the hell does that mean?" asked Madiline.
Saiba swallowed, "I said, maybe because her parents died." Edward suddenly dropped the glass of water he was holding. "What's wrong, Edward?"
"N-nothing. Saiba, what did you say?" asked Edward as he continued eating. "Maybe cause her parents died. Back when you were helping Elite form NEASOM, you let her join for some reason. She seemed to know you, but if I remember right, you said, "Shut up, little brat," and told her to play with her dolls or something," said Saiba.
"How did her parents die?" asked Edward. "Ow, I have really bad headache," said Madi, "Oh, and she told me her parents and brother were killed in front of her when she was two. I'm going to my room." Madi left with her food as the other continued.
Edward made a choking sound. "What are you thinking of, Edward? Did you know her parents?" asked Otten.
"No, I lost my appetite. If anyone is looking for me, look for Ropeman," said Edward as he went towards the connected rooms. 'Now I know that I knew Abrie at one point, but when? I keep having flashbacks of going to the park and going to Creamland.'
EDWARD'S FLASHBACK
"Wow! Creamland has a pretty castle, Ed-san!" yelled three year old Abrie. Edward nodded, "It is pretty. A princess lives in that castle. Her name is Princess Pride."
"Wow, she's so lucky!" said the lavender haired girl as she stared at the castle. "Being a princess isn't always about parties, fancy clothes, and having everything done for you," said Edward. "What does a princess have to do?" "Well, Princess Pride's parents died when she was six. She is still young, but she has to help manage the servants, go to some meetings, and once in a while make speeches to crowds." "I never knew Princess Pride had to do all of that. Doesn't she have any brothers or sisters to help her?"
"Her parents adopted a girl from Sharo, but they died before she came, so Pride and the girl are friends instead of sisters." "Hey look! It's Princess Pride!" yelled a person. Abrie looked over and saw a girl with slightly curly blonde hair. "Ed-san, does the girl like Pride much?" "I'm pretty sure. I think she followed Pride almost everywhere she went," replied Edward. "Where is she now?" "I don't know." Pride waved to them as she walked by. "Let's go back to the house. It's about dinner time," said Edward as they got into his car.
"You know what day it is in two days?" asked Edward with a grin. "What?" "Your birthday! You're turning four years." "Oh, yeah! I'm going to be old enough for pre-school!" said Abrie. "You seem smart enough for second grade, but you have to be five to be in Kindergarten." "Ed-san, can we go to the park before we eat?" He nodded, "Why not?"
Edward drove to the park. "Okay, we're here. Abrie, is it okay is you go on ahead while I park the car?" The lavender haired girl nodded, "Okay, I'll play on the slide!" The three year old girl ran to the slide and started sliding. She stopped after the 4th time when she heard a crash. She ran to the parking lot and saw Edward's car and someone else's car slammed into each other. The ambulance arrived in seconds and they got the two out of their cars.
"Is Ed-san going to be okay?" asked Abrie. "I think so. He seems to only remember the major parts of his past. Are you his daughter?" She shook her head with a small laugh, "Ed-san isn't my dad. Even though I guess he kind of is in some odd way."
OoO
The forming of NEASOM
"Hi, Edward-san! It's me, Abrie!" yelled the six years old, "What are you doing right now?" Edward looked at her oddly. 'Where have I seen her before?' "I don't think I know you. Do you have a net navi?"
"I got one last year so it would be easier to help Princess Pride. This is Jewel." She showed her PET. "Say, do you like Princess Pride very much?" Abrie nodded, "She is very nice." 'Even though you were nicer back when you remembered.'
"Would you like to join our group? You can do anything you want. You can do things that you usually can't do."
Abrie seemed thoughtful, "Um, okay, I'll just tell Pride-san." "No, don't tell her. She won't let you join because she thinks we're a bad group and thinks you'll get in big trouble."
"Pride thinks that?" Edward nodded. "Well, I can take care of myself! I'll join, but I'll still work for Pride so she doesn't get suspicious." "Good! The first thing I want you to do is, if you could, read something called, Creamland's Secrets. I don't want to hear why you don't want to, just do it. Tell me what you learn, then we'll let you join."
"Want to go to the park after I'm done?" asked Abrie excitedly. "Shut up, little brat. Just go do what you're told to do."
Abrie looked sad, but just left, not caring if what she was doing was wrong.
END FLASHBACK
"Abrie, may I come in?" asked Edward as he knocked on her bedroom door. "Who is it?" "It's…Ed."
Abrie opened the door, "What did you say?" "Abrie, I just want to say I remember now and say I'm sorry for calling you little brat." She opened the door wider, "You actually remember?" He nodded.
"Can we go to the park later?" "No, you little brat. We're-oh, sorry. I mean, we can't because they know us as NEASOM members……..wait, I just had an idea. NEASOM isn't a global threat yet. So what if we…"
"That's a great idea! I'll suggest the idea to Elite-san. Oh, and Edward? Can I call you Ed-san again?"
"Fine, but not around the others." Abrie nodded, "Agreed."
