"What's going on?" Squall asked walking into Order's Sanctuary, seeing Cosmos, Warrior of Light, Shantotto, and Lightning standing over Kain. "Kain's injured" Lightning said. "He managed to get all the way here and then he collapsed."

"What happened? Was he attacked by manikins?" Squall asked kneeling next to him. Lightning ignored him, focusing more on helping Shantotto heal Kain. "We have yet to know the cause of his injuries. He is not well, or conscious, enough to tell us." Warrior of Light filled in. Cosmos stood over to the side, looking at Kain, her hands grasping each other over her chest.

"Bad news!" Jecht came running in followed by Prishe and Quistis. "What's wrong?" Cosmos asked. "We've looked around everywhere and we can't find Yuna!" Jecht said.

"What could've happened to her? Yuna would never go out alone would she?" Asked Cosmos

Jecht thought for a moment. He got angry as he suddenly had an epiphany. "Damn!" he said. "She went after that damn runt!"

"Tidus?" Lightning asked, joining the conversation.

"Yeah"

"Wait, isn't he on Chaos's side?" Quistis asked.

Lightning looked at Jecht. "Yeah," he said looking more than a little ashamed. Lightning crossed her arms across her chest. "Yuna" Kain grunted. "Kain! Don't say anything. You've gotten yourself in such a mess. Take your time, you won't heal if you don't rest." Shantotto said, sounding worried. "I'm fine" he said, grunting and sitting up. "Yuna was kidnapped." He grunted again, holding his stomach, "By Chaos."

"How do you know?" Jecht exclaimed.

"The Cloud of Darkness took her. She was defending some girl."

"What girl?"

"I didn't get a chance to ask her name."

"Any clue who she is?" Quistis asked. "A name?"

"I-I don't know."

"Why does it even matter? We don't even know if she's on our side or not" Lightning retorted

"I don't think she is. Not if Yuna was defending her" Quistis offered as a rebuttal

"And what about Yuna? We have to rescue Yuna!" said Jecht.

"Will you open your eyes, Jecht? If she was taken by Chaos she will probably be brainwashed and used against us! You know how low Chaos's side can be! And if she is, it's our job to get rid of her."

Everyone went silent, all eyes were on Lightning. "What're you saying, Lightning?" Jecht asked.

"I'm saying" she paused. "A target's a target"

Jecht was caught by surprised at what Lightning said. He balled his fists at his side in anger. Summoning his sword, he lifted it at Lightning. "I won't let you hurt Yuna!" he shouted. Aggravated, Lightning drew her gunblade from its holster, allowing it to stay in gun form as she aimed at Jecht. "You're pathetic, Jecht. You remind me of someone I know back in my world"

"Go to hell, Light."

"You first"

"Both of you stop it!" Quistis shouted, stamping her foot. Everyone looked at Quistis who was pinching the hill of her nose in aggravation. "Look at what you're doing. You're turning against each other. Keep this up and Chaos's side won't need to lift a finger to win this cycle!" Lightning and Jecht both looked of each other with equal looks of contrition. The moment Jecht willed his weapon to disappear, Lightning put her gunblade away.

Cosmos decided to speak up. "Lightning, you are right. If Yuna is brainwashed that will make her an enemy. But in which case we will need to try even harder to bring her back. She's our friend, it won't be hard." Lightning nodded once. "Jecht," Cosmos said, facing Jecht. "I admire your valiance towards Yuna but no matter what, you shouldn't turn your arms on your allies." Jecht scratched the back of his head, embarrassed by his actions.

"As for the other girl, she is not a warrior I summoned here." Cosmos said, earning her a few shocked gasps among her warriors. "But she is not a warrior of Chaos either."

"How is that even possible?" Squall asked.

"I thought the war was just between you and Chaos?" Lightning added.

"It is. But during one cycle, Shinryu and Cid made a deal in which they would summon a warrior that had the potential to turn the tides of war if recruited by either sides."

"A secret weapon, in a manner of speaking." Warrior of Light said.

"Or a trump card" Lightning added.

"Yes," Cosmos said. "That girl alone has the power to bring down a god."

"Great. Now that 'weapon' is in the hands of Chaos" Lightning said, crossing her arms.

"How is it that Chaos knew about her before we did?" asked Warrior of Light.

"Chaos and his warriors must have been watching and waiting." Quistis answered.

Everyone went silent in thought. Quistis even started to pace around. Squall was to himself, his arms folded across his chest and he gaze to the ground, simply waiting for an order to go rescue Yuna and the 'trump card'. Suddenly, something hit him. His head shot up. "Cosmos" he said. "There is something you're not telling us." Everyone's gazes went to Squall who had previously been so quiet. "What do you mean?" Warrior of Light asked in Cosmos's defense. "Quistis asked Kain about who the girl was, she even asked for a name. You said nothing then, yet you knew all of this. What're you hiding?"

Cosmos looked away from Squall, her gaze lingering on the ground. Squall was right and he knew it. She was hiding something.

"Cosmos?" Quistis said, her voice faltering.

"I didn't think it would be wise to tell you…"

"Tell us what?" Squall said, the expression on his face all too stern.

"You would act on your emotions and get yourself hurt! I didn't want that to happen…"

"Tell us what?" Squall repeated, emphasizing each word.

Cosmos's lifting her head, looking at both Squall and Quistis who were standing directly in front of her with contrition in her eyes. "She is from your world" she said.

Squall and Quistis exchanged looks. "Do we know her?" Quistis asked. Cosmos nodded once. "You both do." She said.

"Who is she?"

Cosmos took a deep breath before answering. Squall's eyebrow went up in annoyance, eager to hear what she was going to say. His memory was already shot, he was sure whoever that girl was, she would bring most of his memory back if she was so important Cosmos thought it was a good idea to withhold who she is. "Her name is Rinoa Heartilly"

Squall's mind became a blur of racing memories. He caught a glimpse of Rinoa falling off the side of an airship, one of her floating about in space, low on oxygen, one of both him and her. His head was on her lap in a field of flowers and she was looking down to him with tears flowing down her face, and a final one of her in a short cream dress, gazing adoringly at him after their dance at the SeeD ball, while he was taking in the sight of the congratulatory fireworks. Most of his memories were restored. He knew exactly who Rinoa was the moment Cosmos spoke her name. At that point all that mattered was getting her back.
