-------------------------------
From the moment he was awaken, he had felt that pull. The pull towards someone, the him he was meant to be. He was somewhere... yet he could not sense him. Until that time when his Parrot yummy was defeated. He knew he sensed him as well, the draw was so strong... it could not be ignored.
"...ME? Don't make me laugh... you are ME!"
"Eh, you have the body... but no memories."
"... let's get along... Ankh."
So his name was... Ankh. Or was it his name? But right now... this was his body. So who was the true... Ankh? Where should he really be? Where was...him? He was taken away again, by that human who had the ability to use the power of the cores. He lost him again. He have to get him back.
The other named Kazari... seemed to know a lot about him. He have said a lot... yet it seemed there were other things he did not tell him. Why was he with that human... that OOO? Kazari said OOO was their enemy... should OOO be his enemy as well?
Kazari was happy that he could also change his appearance into a human's. Because Ankh was a clever one... so he should be able to do it as well. But a part of him was vexed. Why did Kazari compared him to him? Just because he existed much longer than him!
This situation would be rectified soon. That was a definite thing.
It was not long after that when he managed to reacquire another core. A Condor core... the one that was taken away from him, and then was given to him. And now he retrieved it back.
Yet, it was still not enough.

He almost had it... that other time. When he had made use of his human's friend in order to create an opening where he could capture and assimilate him into himself. It almost succeeded... if not for the appearance of that OOO who arrived in the nick of time to save him.
Yet, even when that attempt has failed... he realised something. Perhaps it was because he had been so close to him at that time, perhaps he did absorb something that time... he did feel something inside of him growing even more than just remaining as a shell of a Greeed.
He had grown stronger, not just in strength but also in personality.
He started to become even more like Ankh, he heard several similar opinions spoken by Kazari, and later by the new comrades; who had also known the real Ankh. Somehow... that pleased him. He believed that as well. Because now he realized, he shared the same desire ashim. He wanted to live. As himself... and not as him. Even though it might not be any different, considering he was planning to become thetrue Ankh by copying him.
That was why, as he finally absorbed him... he was feeling victorious.

Yet that feeling was short-lived, as he somehow managed to slip one of his cores to one of his humans. Not only that, even after beingcaptured... he still refused to properly disappear.
Another thing he realised, considering he was with him already... there were still something about him that he did not have. Thus, despite how frustrated he was of the fact that he kept on fighting...
...perhaps it was safe to assume, that he really wanted and truly desired to know him. To really know him until such an extent... that he could qualify himself to becoming him.
That was why... he had wondered, what was so good about ice candies? He had attempted to taste one, seeing Gamel had acquired one of those-but as expected, he could not taste it. Yet, he loved it so much. So much... that his desire to live was stronger. How could that be? Hewas the one supposed to be the victor, so why should he be the one not the weaker one?

"Those medals don't belong to you. It belonged to him."
Hah. Even his human was telling him the same. It was frustrating! Why could he not be the one remaining?
"Because you are not ME."
The lost-Ankh turned around as he faced Ankh inside his own consciousness. Why? Why did he still existing? He thought he had finally given up...
Ankh smirked.
"Why were you so surprised? Didn't you used the same tactic to drop my guard towards you? Did you tried so hard to becoming me that you ended up being so naïve like me?"
No, that was not it! The reason he did all that was...
"You can never become me. Not now... or ever. That is your pitiful fate."
Even as both of them were having this exchange, he was still in the middle of fighting OOO. But perhaps because Ankh's last words stunned him so much, he could not do anything but allowed OOO to rip apart both of his wings as they plunged towards the ground. He did not even retaliate as OOO managed to hit his three cores.
No...!
"My core... medals!"
He moaned as he reached towards the sky. Towards Ankh, whom he really wanted to be. If he could cry, he would have begged him to save him. But Ankh did not do that. Instead, he just smiled and said...
"Get lost... impostor!"
Ah, and all he really wanted... was to be truly one with him.
