DM77's Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Chapter 10
Battleship of Memories Part 1
We re-join our heroes as they exit through the door back into the halls of Castle Oblivion. Emerl stops and thinks.
"Who could that have been before in my memory?" Emerl said thinking "It wasn't Jenny…But another…. girl? Maybe…I think her name was…"
"Emerl!" Togami called out to him as his friends noticed he had fallen before. This shout snapped the Gizoid from his thoughts "We have to keep moving! You want to find Makoto and Metal Sonic, right?"
"Oh, sure." Emerl said nodding and said quietly "Damn…it was right on the tip of my tongue as the saying goes…"
"We should keep moving though I am concerned we have met any of our hosts to this place in a while" Doom said.
"I am not sure what there up to, but I am sure they'll show up soon" J said shrugging.
We come to one of the higher floors of the castle where the jet themed robot girl continues to draw on her pad. The drawing she was making had her, Metal Sonic, Jenny and Emerl together and holding hands.
Brutaka watches her and shakes his head as he leaves to continue to observe Emerl's progress through J.
The group reach the next floor and see the blank door that will take them to the next location. The group nod to each and are about to progress.
"I remember!" Emerl said suddenly stopping them.
"What do you mean Emerl?" Lilac asked.
"There was another girl!" Emerl told them.
"What? A girl? Where?" Hiro asked looking around.
"This is the first time you brought this other girl up" J said.
"I know and no, I mean there was another girl on the islands where I used to live." Emerl explained "Besides Jenny and Metal, there was one other girl I was friends with. The four of us played together all the time.
"Emerl…" RiCO said as she appears "Like with what J said, this is the first time you've ever mentioned her even before we came to this place."
"Yeah…. I guess I forgot all about her." Emerl said nodding "I think…she just suddenly went away before I reformatted my memories and forgot a lot of stuff."
"Well then, what suddenly made you remember that now?" Togami asked.
"I'm unsure." Emerl said shaking his head "But it's been coming back in pieces as we go through the castle."
"Well, do you remember her name at least?" Doom asked.
Emerl thinks and sighs "I don't remember. I feel like a complete idiot. We said we weren't gonna forget our friends, and well now…I can't even remember her name."
"Emerl…" Lilac said.
"Honestly you shouldn't let that get to you when the solution is obvious." Togami said "You, said that the memories of her are coming back in pieces, correct? Then obviously you are sure to remember her name along with everything else."
"You're right…. thanks Togami." Emerl said smiling.
"Look at you, being a softy" Hiro said grinning.
"Don't push it." Togami said.
The group approach the door and Emerl said Togami should make the next pick between the last two world cards. So, J sets them face down and Togami picks on, Emerl uses it on the door, and it opens bathing the group of six in a bright light.
The group looks around and found themselves on what appears to be some kind of ship, emblems were on the wall saying Dr. W in a circle.
"What a stange place, it feels like we're back on the Hope Seeker 7 but on a larger scale" Emerl said looking around.
"You have a ship, what happened to it?" J asked
"After we used it to get to the End of the World, when it faded away after all the worlds were restored we lost it." Lilac said "There was no way for us to find it."
"Sucks as it was like out home too" Hiro said sighing
"Still if this is a ship, it's eery with the lack of a crew" Doom points out.
"Agreed we should stay on guard." Emerl said.
"Who goes there?!" A voice called out making the others look around."
"You are onboard Dr. Wily's Battleship, through at the moment it is no longer under his control." A female voice said.
"Hang on" RiCO said appearing "I recognize both those voices.
"Now that you mention it, the female voice is very familiar." Togami said.
"Megaman! Roll! Is that you two? Come out!" RiCO said.
"Wait do we know you?" A male voice said and out comes a robot with a human face wearing a blue suit and helmet with an arm buster
Beside him was a girl with blond hair in a ponytail and wearing a red dress. She said, "She looks like the Ai program I was helping Dr. Light make."
"Yeah I am." RiCO said smiling "It's great to see you again. I've been maintaining the duties you left me to do but I won't say too much."
"Well, I am happy to see you will be doing well" Roll said smiling.
"Anyway how did end up onboard this battleship?" Megaman asked curious.
"Well…we sort of used a unique way of getting onboard" J said.
"Honestly it's so unique, even we don't know how it works." Hiro said with a shrug.
"That sucks, I was hoping you could help us, Dr. Light and even Dr. Wily find a way to get offboard here." Roll said sighing.
"Wait Dr. Light is here too?" RiCO asked.
"He is, he's currently with Dr. Wily researching a way to escape." Megaman said nodding "Follow me."
The two robots lead the way, and the heroes follow them through the ship while Emerl acquires a Key of Beginnings card.
-Wily's Battleship-
Emerl and J make their way through the ship fighting several including some of the Sniper Heartless that last time Emerl was on this ship were roaming the ships halls as their main security
"Robots mixed with Heartess, a bit concerning to be honest." J said freaked out as she tears one Sniper Heartless in half.
"Yeah, makes me wonder if Heartless took over their bodies or took their forms" Emerl said defeating some
"I say it might be the latter" J said with a nod
As they keep going Emerl finds instructions for a Fire Raid ability, it works like Blizzard Raid just replace the Blizzard spell card with the Fire spell card.
Eventually they find the doorway to use the Key of Beginnings card on and Emerl holds it up and the door opens and they progress through.
The group enter into a large hanger bay at the front of the ship. There working on a yellow and blue saucer were two scientists one had a white beard and the other had a white moustache. Around the saucer were various Sniper Joes
"Dr. Light! We're back and we brought help!" Roll called out.
"I see, I thought we were the only none hostel beings on this ship too" Dr. Light said. "And is that…RiCO? This is interesting."
"How in the name of science did you all end up on my Battleship?" Wily asked annoyed
"Better question is, how did the owner of said ship lose control over it?" RiCO asked.
"We're unsure on the exact details but we came with a theory…" Dr. Light said.
After a while of telling the whole story and theory to it the group were sitting on the Wily UFO hearing it.
"So what you're saying it you sent this Yellow Devil creation to deal with Megaman..." Togami began
"And when Megaman defeated it, something in the shadows absorbed it." Hiro said freaked out.
"And with that it began spreading darkness all over the ship." Lilac finished.
"Exactly, I renamed it the Heartless Devil and we believe it is the leader of all the other Heartless." Wily said.
"So what's the plan to retake the ship?" Emerl asked.
"We don't have a plan like that, our plan is to set the ship to blow up and escape" Roll explained
"Ideal, the Heartless don't need a warship, especially one like this." Doom said with a nod.
"The plan is to destroy the main core, if it doesn't completely destroy this place, it will leave it dead and unable to be used" Wily said thinking.
"The problem is that the Heartless Devil is lurking somewhere and might be guarding that area." Light added.
"It sounds dangerous" Emerl said.
"Not when I have Megaman and Roll with me, they are like my children and also with Albert, we used to be the best of friends." Light said smiling "Everything is better when you are with or reunited with those you care about."
"I know how you feel" Emerl said smiling.
"There he goes again being sentimental." Wily said only to be elbowed by Roll.
"Roll is a handy helper around the lab and is developing into her own way a desire to help out in science." Light said "And Megaman, couldn't ask for such a brave and courageous lad full of heart."
"I am filled with notes on Megaman so I know what you mean." RiCO said smiling.
"I will remember to put that in to the you I am developing" Roll said smiling
"Err…not to break up this moment but…Where is Megaman?" J asked looking around and indeed Megaman was nowhere to be seen.
"He was here a moment about, where could he have gone off too?" Togami asked.
"Even when he's on my side he's a headache." Wily mumbles as he goes to the exit and points to the nearest Sniper Joe "You! Where did Megaman go?"
"He went back deeper into the ship sir, he didn't say why." The Sniper Joe said.
"He's probably decided to go and destroy the ship's core on his own." Dr. Light said sighing. "I told him it was dangerous, but I guess he decided not to listen."
"Megaman can be a bit hard-headed at times" Roll said "Emerl, guys? You think you can lend a hand at retrieving him?"
"Sure, anything for our friends." Emerl said nodding and thinks 'Especially old ones.'
"We'll continue working on getting this UFO operational" Wily said.
"Sure thing, see you soon" J said nodding "Come one everyone, let's go."
Everyone nods and heads out. Emerl gained a Key of Guidance. While everyone was getting ready J decided to help Emerl learn how to jump higher using his Copy Ability, with it Emerl can now jump higher making it easier to avoid large incoming attacks.
They meet a memory recreation of Roll and once again have to search and rescue Megaman.
