Yama was walking in the corridors of Oceanus, two armoured Gaian soldier at his side, escorting him to an escape pod.
'They withered,' Yama repeated after he saw his mother's flowers die.
'Give up, Yama,' Ezra said, 'these flowers can only grow on earth!'
'Isn't Mum's dream to let these flowers grow on Mars?' Yama was angered. He ran to the wheel sealed with tape with 'danger' writing on it.
'Yama!' Nami yelled.
'Don't to that, that's insane!' Ezra scolded. But Yama was driven by anger. He turned the wheel.
The lights on the ceiling flickered.
The conservatory exploded.
They passed another door.
'I graduated from the Academy. What do you want to do now?' Yama said to his brother, who was now sitting on a gravity chair. He had been paralysed in the accident.
'Go to the planet Arcadia,' Ezra's black eyes were cold; 'find the Elf and catch him.'
What? Yama thought. 'You want me to find a person on a planet? And what are the Elves?'
'Just do it,' Ezra ordered. 'There's only one left in the known universe. Over 80% of Arcadia's surface is covered by the sea, and the Elf never leaves the forest. I'll send you there.'
'His name?'
'S-00999, Harlock, Gaia Sanction most wanted.'
The two soldiers pushed Yama into an escape pod. Remembering the instructions, he fumbled in his pocket and took out the intercom. One of the soldiers threw a big backpack with camping equipment at Yama's feet.
The door of the escape pod sild shut. The tick following told him he was not on Oceanus anymore.
'You're on your own from now on, F111,' Ezra announced as if they did not know each other. 'We'll check on you three months later.'
'Roger that,' Yama closed his eyes and held his head high. Will I come back?
Will I be discovered?
Can I find the Elf?
He prayed to god. If god existed.
