Blaze looked over at Oured moments after the SOLG's massive explosion. The flash lingered still, as its light combined with the hazy smoke and debris. Creating a glare that did not burn away at the eyes but it instead enhanced its surroundings. The tall, proud skyscrapers that cut across the blue sky, seemed to glow, and the water's of Oured Bay flickered along. Sending out streams of reflected light every which way it rolled along. He glanced long out the side of his plane, and say a small flotilla of fishing boats steaming out into the bay. Their crews on the decks waving away as he passed by. Then he heard it... the rising chorus of a woman, sad and yet... joyful, almost happy. With a start he realized that the last time that he had really heard and listened to it was over that stadium. The day that the Wardogs had lost one their members, their family member. All because it was his fault. Blaze eyes moistened a little as tears pooled in his eyes. Then he noticed something... a figure, standing off in the clouds. He sucked in a breath, there he was standing there. Still dressed up in his flight suit, sideburns still there and a warm mirth in the man's eye's. "Kid, long time no see," a small sob escaped Blaze's lips, the man didn't change one bit even after death. "You did good. You did good, the war's over. You don't have worry about me anymore, so stop living in the past. Go on, live your life. I'll be okay, it's time to let go, have some fun. See, ya later buddy, oh, and by the way, Kei really likes you," the man told his old friend with a bright smile plastered onto his face as he faded off into the smoke. Blaze let a small smile escape his lips, as a lone tear fell from his eye, "See, you later, Chopper."
