I was still out of place after that encounter with....her.

I have had no idea why she would test my power in the first place. And...what did she meant by me grown up, split paths, or...."all those years ago"...I guess all those substances those wretched W.A.R.P scientists gave me went into my head...

...but really, who was she exactly? Have I known her before?

Such thoughts stirred into my head like...a violent storm.

I was walking by myself yet again. It was around mid-day, the sun glowed it's typical, yet precious, light. The dust and wind danced hand-in-hand, and to be honest the heat was slowly making me feel like I was melting. But in really I was merely sweating. I suppose the UV waves are playing tricks on me again.

As I was saying, I was alone, doing my typical breathing exercises, Cape around me as usual. And just when I felt relaxed, thinking no one would come up to me...

...she did.

"Well well well...long time no see" she smirks.

I sigh, "Salutations to you too....whoever you are."

She plops down on my level and walks around me slowly, "Just to make sure, you are...Cygnus, right? I mean I thought I was too carried away thinking you were The Blur since you somewhat looked like him--"

"Yes...that is me."

"Ah. Alright"

I turn to face her. "The real question is; I haven't recalled who you are. So....what is your name, exactly?"

She halts and looks head-on at me in the eye, "Me?" She said, and then she twirled her Chaos Blade playfully and chuckled a bit...

"...I am Tempest"

"Tempest, huh?" I asserted.

She nodded.

'' Tempest...for some reason that sounds familiar.... ''

"Well hello, Tempest. So...what brings you to see me...again?"

"Oh nothing. I was merely strolling around...sightseeing. Until I spotted you. And so I thought maybe I can talk to you again."

"...to be honest I have no idea what things we can talk about now."

She stops twirling her blade and now uses it as a cane, and leans on it. "True, I suppose." At this point she hesitated, closing her eyes and breathing a heavy breath, and spoke up once more...

"I have known you all my life."

My eyes dilated slightly, "...you h-have?"

She slowly nods, "I've seen what you have looked like before, so innocent and cute."

"...okay..."

"I know your weaknesses, strengths, fears, loves, hates, powers...

...and I know you were used as a test subject for W.A.R.P"

What?! How did she-- I don't even know. Is she a stalker? Is she some sort of secret sidekick someone hired for me?!

"Um look, miss," I spoke, "How do you know about me? About up where I came from and about my personal things??"

She sighs, "You have really forgotten."

"What do you mean?"

"Think! Think clearly. You don't remember? All this time? After what happened you already forgot...

...about you...and me?"

I blink, "No, miss, I am afraid I h--"

Before I knew it, pictures of the past suddenly pop and slap me in the face. I saw it: that facility, the experimental rooms, ventilation shafts I went through to escape, syringes and needles...

...and then, me and her.

Afterwards, I heard sounds....  voices,  in my head...

"Come on, Cyg! We have no choice!"

"Don't worry, we are almost free....we'll just head through these vent shafts and we are out!"

"...you promise we will finally get out of this hellhole and live peacefully...?"

"...I promise."

I was as still as a statue. I remember most of it...but the thing is it still doesn't make sense. I didn't understand yet. Why was she with me? Who was she, really? Was she another test subject next door?!

"...remember now?" She crossed her arms, her head cocked, somehow knowing that my memory came back to me.

"...s-somewhat. But, I still don't get it. I mean, why were you involved with me? Who were you...?

'' Who are you? '' "

She looks down, closing her eyes once more, and looks up to speak again. Just when I hoped she would give me a proper answer...

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you right now. I have to go." She dashed out of the place in a fast speed.

"WAIT! WHY NOT?!?!" I yell after her. But it's no use...she is gone already. Well at least I have a couple of pieces of the puzzle, yet not all of them...

'' ...dammit. ''
