Remember Me


(Some figures arrive at the scene and see Bulwark.)

(Bulwark sighs and sees the corpse.)

Bulwark: Just another ... Normal day ... On this fucking planet.

(He finally gets a small look of his new armor. He opens his Hud and sees all the new stuff he can do.)

Bulwark: Got to get out of here.

(6 disk plates pop out of his back and float over the girls who are in the shield bubble, Bulwark carries Joss in his arms)

Bulwark: So, I guess it's Joss... Not Jaeger... Joss sounds better.

(The disk sends out a signal of unknown body count nearby and he signals 3 of them on defense mode making a dome around the girls and the other 3 glow and form a triangle in rotation aiming at the figures)

Bulwark: Who's there? I'm not in the mood. My family needs me. So, think twice before making a move on me.

(They revealed themselves and were hunters of Yukumo and they were accompanied by Lyra. She looks at the scene, disgusted by it. She glares at the body of Joss and looks at Arya and Isabella.)

Lyra: Carry them to my house at Yukumo.

Hunter#1: Are you sure, M'Lady?

(She glares at him.)

Hunter#1: O-ok.

(He goes and helps Bulwark stand up and applies the first-aid meds. The others carried the bodies of Joss, Arya, and Isabella with the help of some cats who came with carts. They arrive at a luxurious house and a batch of maids came to help.)

Lyra: Bulwark, there is a special room just for you and your healing. I made the changes.

Maid: Can you follow me sir?

Bulwark: Sure thing. Thanks. Are they going to be alright?

(He follows the maid)

Maid: They will be taken in good care.

(She guides him to a spacious room with a wall full of tech. One maid takes care of each one. When was time of Joss, Lyra steps in front of the maid.)

Lyra: Take him to the underground.

(The door closes.)

Bulwark: How much time until I'll be set to go?

(He sits in a chair where multiple robotic arms start handling the armor and others taking care of antibiotic, internal damages and exterior on his body.)

Maid: Until all your wounds are healed, and we made sure you are all ok.

(She packs everything and leaves the room. At the front door, a group of hunters bring a sack in chains and a Thunderwulf sleeping in a huge cart.)

Hunter Leader: Ma'am Lyra, we found...something...

(She doesn't even look.)

Lyra: Quick, speak.

Hunter Leader: It is quite...rare...

(Lyra turns and sees the Thunderwulf.)

Lyra: Haven't you ever saw a Thunderwulf before? Hunters these days...

(She sighs.)

Hunter Leader: No Ma'am...

(He unravels what's in the sack and Vita comes out. Lyra gasps upon seeing her ears. She raises her view to the other hunters.)

Lyra: LEAVE and don't say a thing, or I will have your tongues.

(They salute her and exited the mansion quickly. Vita tosses and turns. Lyra takes out the cloth in her mouth.)

Vita: Where is he?! Where is master Joss?!

Lyra: Joss?

Vita: I can smell him! I know he is here!!!

Lyra: Child, there isn't---

(Lyra opens her eyes wide.)

Lyra: From where you came?!

(Vita stays silent. Lyra grabs her and sniffs her.)

Lyra: Your scent...you come from the capital!

(She quickly unhands Vita.)

Lyra: This...this can't be happening...

(She claps her paws and 3 strong butlers arrived.)

Lyra: Take her out the house and lock her in the outer basement. Until she talks, she will not be fed.

Butlers: As you wish.

(They bow their heads and grab the poor girl. She struggles and screams until her voice could not be herd. 3 maids return.)

Lyra: Status report.

Maid #1: Arya seemed stable with minor wounds. It seems the enemy used a very sophisticated EMP that even shut down part of her body, but she is better now.

Lyra: Good.

Maid #2: Miraculously, Lady Isabella healed the deep wound. There isn't even a scratch and all her systems worked magnificent.

Lyra: Something...is off.

Maid #3: Sir Bulwark's vitals are stable but there are traces of a different, far stronger suit. His body healed completely and there are no outer nor inner wounds.

(Lyra stays silent.)

Lyra: Keep an eye on him and the prisoner from below. As soon as he awakes, let me know.

(She walks around in her mansion, in her 2 little paws.)

(Bulwark gets up and stretches. He feels a strong thump sensation on his chest. When he checks it out his heart area is slightly blacked, and veins are crimson red. He takes deep breaths, and everything calms down.)

(He looks around his room)

Bulwark: Anyone out there? What now?

(There is silence and Bulwark can see a long hall with several doors. On the house's basement, a maid cleans Joss' body. He begins to regain consciousness. When he opens his eyes, the maid smiles.)

Maid: Good afternoon. How do you feel?

(He looks around and notices that he is chained up.)

Joss: Well, a little tight maybe? Where am I?

Maid: You are in Lyra's house.

Joss: That cat has more houses than a king. Can you unchain me?

Maid: I cannot do that. On the other hand, do you feel something different?

Joss:...no...? Who are you?!

Maid: My name is Emma. It seems it has begun.

(She raises, cleans her utensils, and walks away of the room.)

Joss: Hey! Wait!! What begun?!

(She turns to him and smiles.)

Emma: The end of Oamni...

(She leaves the room.)

Joss: Oamni? Hey! Let me out!

(Nothing can be heard in the house. Another maid passes by but then quickly leaves. After some minutes, Lyra comes in escorted by 2 butlers.)

Lyra: Leave.

(Both closed the doors and only the small cat stands in front of him.)

(Bulwark stands and walks cautiously down the hall. He activates his HUD, his left eye in his point of view has all the detail as the helmet. He scans the place for life signs. He can see the life signs of Isabella, Arya and some of the maids and butlers. He cannot see the basement. Lyra walks towards Joss.)

Joss: Lyra, what's the meaning of this?

Lyra: I told you I would protect everyone on this island. Who are you really?!

Joss: I don't know! I...

Lyra: I just made sure you aren't from this island. You are...from the capital.

Joss: Capital?

Lyra: You gave up a peculiar smell. I knew from the start. I cannot let you roam free.

Joss: But I pose no harm!

Lyra: Not right now, but what about the future? What if you go on a rampage here or in Ardmery?

Joss: I...I...

Lyra: Until I made sure you are not dangerous; you MUST remain here.

(She turns her back and closes the door. He lowers his sight and tears began to roll. Night came to the house.)

(Bulwark heads towards Isabella room and knocks)

(She is asleep and doesn't answer. On the night, Joss hears rustle outside his room. The door opens and a figure comes in hooded. It comes closer and then hugs him.)

Vita: Master! You are alive!

Joss: Woaw woaw! Master?

(She tilts her head.)

Vita: You don't recognize me?

(She takes the hood out and her pointy ears come in sight.)

Joss: What the fuck?!

(He struggles to move. Her face changes.)

Vita: Master...do you know...me?

Joss: I don't....remember?

Vita: Although you have more hair than before, it is still you.

Joss: Do you know me?

Vita: So, it's true what I heard. You have lost your memories...

(She steps back.)

Vita: The rest would be happy to know you are alive, but sad because you don't remember...

Joss: But do you know my name and from where I came?

Vita: I do know but shall not tell. You must find that on your own.

Joss: H-Hey don't leave! Set me free!

(Vita breaks the chains with ease.)

Vita: You could've done that easily. You really lost your memories...

(She exits the cell quietly. He follows her. He finds some clothes of a butler nearby and takes them. Vita moves silently, without triggering any alarm until she is outside the house. Minutes later, Joss comes out panting.)

Joss: You...move too fast...wait...for me...

(She stretches while he takes a breathing.)

(Bulwark heads to Arya but figures she's sleeping. He notices that he doesn't see Joss.)

Bulwark: Now why wouldn't he be around here?

(He walks to the end of the hall and checks his surroundings before going through the exit door.)

Bulwark mind: Got to worry about fucking cats, maids, archers ... What's next ninjas and strippers?

(Vita looks back at him.)

Joss: I want answers!

Vita: Well...(she makes a smug face.) if you can catch me.

(She jumps to one of the branches nearby and dashes off.)

Joss: Hey! Lacie, I need speed!

(He changes to his suit and begins to trace her. With few steps he is behind her. She is humming a familiar song.)

Joss: Hey, that song...I know it!

Vita: Of course you do. Is one of the songs of your device.

Joss: So, you really know who I am!!!

Vita: Maybe...

(She comes close to his face, the dashes off. He trails her but she is quicker.)

Joss: How is it that you are faster than me?!

Vita: You are FASTER. You just encase your mind and limit your body. Stop using that machine and begin using your own body!

(He stops for a moment and makes the suit disappear.)

Joss:...How...?

Vita: Feel the earth, the wind, the people. Although this place doesn't have magic, your body hasn't forgotten its training.

(He closes his eyes.)

(Vita stands on a branch. Joss opens his eyes.)

Joss: You are so far away.

Vita: Try it. There may be a reward.

(She grins. He stretches and jumps, catching almost her.)

Joss: WOAW!!!! I CAN REALLY JUMP!!

Vita: Of course you can. Now, try and catch me.

(She licks his cheek and dashes off.)

Joss: Now, you will be mine.
