1A/N: Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure belongs to Capcom.
Chapter 1: Memory Loss
It has felt like ages…
Though I can't say how long it has actually been.
Why am I trapped in the darkness? Where am I?
And who am I?
All I can remember is… Ah, yes…
Treasure Island.
Have you heard the tale of Treasure Island?
"That's a funny looking treasure chest. Did it just wash up on shore?"
It's the twinkle in every pirate's eye.
"OHOHOHO! That treasure is mine!"
I know Treasure Island.
"Yo! Zack! Open it up!"
Then… I met a young lad seeking to become a world-famous pirate.
Blinking wearily, the helicopter monkey was stunned by the brilliant blue sky, high above.
When he slowly poked his head above the newly opened chest, he was rather surprised to see a large crowd of people who had gathered around.
They had been chattering among themselves, but they had suddenly stopped.
And then, the rabbits exploded into cheers.
To the side, the tall woman with the purple hat huffed.
"Hmph. You again!? How disappointing. Uggggh. You'd think that a golden chest like this would have something valuable!"
"Hey! Don't be like that. Is that any way to greet an old rival-slash-frenemy? Show some more respect!" said the rabbit with the red helmet.
As the rabbit and the woman bickered, Wiki found himself staring into the eyes of a young man.
He had orange hair, a bright red hat, and soft blue eyes.
The young man was silent, but his mouth was open… hoping… but not daring to ask the question on his mind.
Do you remember me?
Of course, the golden monkey only had one thing he could say.
"Who… who are you?"
