Brown Bess POV

After that… we all got a very deserved night's rest. However, I couldn't sleep as those thoughts were in my head again.

After tossing and turning for a while, I finally get up. Deciding to get my guitar, I quietly unlocked my locker and got it along with the pick.

I went to roof again to look up at the moon. 'There was a battle just hours ago yet… it's so peaceful now.'

As I gathered my thoughts, I strum the guitar, tuning it as I go. As soon as I was ready, I played a song that expressed what I was feeling… Sadness, doubt, betrayal, loneliness, and the sense of being lost.

After the song was over, I made a decision. Leaving my guitar behind, I get my stuff, getting ready for a long trip.

After I put on my cloak, I left a note by my bed and walked out of the base. As I walked, I coincidently walked to the path left behind by that Imperial Musketeer, seeing the receiver of a walkie-talkie. I inspected it, and yup. Still intact and operational.

I picked it up and tossed it into the air, firing off a single shot, blasting it to pieces as shrapnel hit the water.

I sigh, 'At least now, the enemy won't be able to track back to the Resistance base…'

I take one last look at the base before moving forward, the moonlight guiding the way.

Third Person POV

"He's WHAT?!"

Rapp yells at Charleville, Kentucky and Springfield, both surprised and furious.

"He's gone...and he left a note," Springfield says as he puts the note on the table.

Napoleon reads the note aloud, "I'll be leaving for a while. Don't come after me and don't worry about me. As for why… I'm just trying to find myself since I'm not him. I don't know for how long it'll take, so don't wait for me. But, I promise I'll be back. - Brown Bess."

"Yup…he's gone," Napoleon sighs.

"Who's this him though?" Springfield asks.

"Ha ha ha…that may have been my fault," Napoleon laughs, rubbing the back on his neck.

"What do you mean, Napoleon-san?" Kyoudou-san asks.

"I told him about the previous Brown Bess…the first Musketeer, and what happened to him," Napoleon says.

This surprises Rapp, Springfield and Kentucky, "WHAT?!"

"You…told him?" Kyoudou asks, trembling in calm anger.

"He asked, so I had to tell him," Napoleon shrugs, not regretting a thing.

Kyoudou could only sigh helplessly.

Charleville had already filled Rapp, Springfield and Kentucky in at this point.

Springfield was the first to speak, "We have to go after him!"

"No," Napoleon firmly says.

"Are you kidding? We have to get him back!" Kentucky argues.

"Of course we will…but let him come back on his own. He's still figuring things out…it's best to leave him alone for now," Napoleon seriously says.

"But…!"

"No butts! He'll definitely come back…just not now," Napoleon says, leaving the others speechless.

Charleville gets the other two out of the room. After the door closed, Rapp says, "This is the first time I've seen you this serious…"

Napoleon sighs, "Well…it is my fault this time. I'll tell the Master now."

"Tell me... Is Brown Bess worth it?" Rapp seriously asks.

Napoleon smiles, "He is…even if he's reborn and lost his memory, even if he isn't the same Brown Bess as back then…he's still worth it to me."

He leaves Rapp to think about that as he goes to inform his Master of what happened with Brown Bess.
