Yaten got the report a bit too late. Rushing out of his spacecraft he fired orders.

"Take a cargo craft down in Horal and get a lot of the army back! Get more aircraft!!!" he had just heard that the Horal army was a fake. General Nephrite had attacked from the air. The battle with Kunzite hadn't started yet so he could spend sometime on the Horal before worrying about Kunzite.

"Tomolo how many more crafts do you need?" he asked through the satellite system. They had advanced technology but they were putting it all into war right now, thus leaving nothing for the civilians.

"About a thousand more! There are too many…" the connection cut off.

"A thousand more crafts towards Tomolo!" Yaten said hurriedly. That's when his eyes fell on a figure with blond hair and a machine gun. She was being held by two guys.

"Let me go!" she yelled, "I know Yaten-kun personally!" behind her stood a girl in short blue hair shaking her head in desperation.

"Minako…" he acknowledged her and shooed the two guys away.

"See! I told you I know him!" she said and stuck her tongue out at them.

"Minako I will not have you acting so childish here," he said to her sternly, "And get rid of that gun. That's probably why they won't let you come here."

"Too bad!" she replied haughtily, "So why are you here in the first place?"

"There is a battle going on…" suddenly his radio beeped, "Yes? General Yaten speaking?" he spoke. Minako and the blue haired girl watched with wide eyes.

"Sir this is Laro. We have injuries! Lots of them! We are bringing them down, but there are too many. We may need to call another doctor. Over."

"Laro, you do know that there are more injuries over Horal then here and most medical service is over there. Get the injured out of battle, that's the best we can do. Over and out."

"You need doctors?" the blue haired spoke for the first time.

"Well, yes, I am Yaten…"

"I know who you are," she snapped, "I am Mizuno Ami and I am in training doctor. Maybe I can help?" he was surprised at her attitude. No one spoke to him like that except Yumeko. He realized that Ami must be the girl Taiki told him about.

"Laro, this is Yaten, send the injured to the west camp, we have found a doctor. Over and out."


Usagi waited near a green house. She suddenly saw the figure of Seiya running toward.

"Seiya!" she beckoned him by waving her hand slightly. He ran toward her. When they were face to face…

"Oh Usagi," he whispered.

"Seiya he's gonna kill me! Please take me with you! Take me away from here! I beg you!" she sobbed and flung herself into his arms. He shushed her and they walked into the green house.

"I am in a very big problem Usagi," he whispered, "I won't be able to take you…" Suddenly she pulled away and glared at him.

"You can't leave me here!" she accused him with tear filled eyes, "You can't do that to me!"

"I can't do much to anyone right now!" he said irritated. He reached for her but she flinched.

"Don't please," he said brokenly, "I love you…Please don't…" he said surprising himself but then…he knew it was true, he may not have his memory, but he hadn't felt like this ever, he knew that much. She then dissolved into his arms as he kissed her softly. She wanted more form him, she wanted him to take her away from this place, she wanted him to stay with her forever, and she needed him so much but she knew now wasn't the time.

"I have to explain things to you…" he said pulling away.

"Please let's not talk. Please let's just be with each other." She pleaded.

"No, this is important. You have to understand. I have lost a lot of my memory and I have only bits of it back."

"What?" she looked horrified and he regretted telling her so fast.

"That's why I am here on earth because I have forgotten a lot. I just want you to know I am living with Kou Iris. She told me she's my cousin but ironically I don't even remember her!"

"Oh…" Usagi still looked horrified.

"And if you come there maybe for a visit and all then maybe we can get away together. They have to smuggle me out of here sometime. Maybe they can smuggle you out too." He said hurriedly trying to calm her down.

"Ok, I think I understand. When are they going to take you out?"

"I don't know, but soon," he told her and she nodded, a bit satisfied.


Tomolo slammed his left arm on the side of the ship. His left engine was damaged and now his arm was too.

"Sir…army approaching…General Yaten contacted…earlier and…injuries…ov…"

"Listen, Yaten is sending a thousand more ships this way. Get them out over to the south, I am trusting you with this. My arm is injured and I can't use the weapon much efficiently now. Steer them south and I will give you further commands. Over and out." He knew his message must have been in broken bits too but he knew it could be interpreted. He was trying to fill the blanks himself. He knew a bigger army was approaching from earth. He figured Yaten must have contacted the ground fighters. The injury part he wasn't able to figure out, but he was hoping that Yaten's orders had increased the injuries for their enemies.

Steering toward east himself he gave fast orders to the fighters alongside him. If they stayed toward east and south that would prevent the earth army to get to the planet. He gave a look to the picture of a woman with short red curls. The picture was stuck with duct tape; it had been there ever since he got his fighter plane, which was way back before he had even married. It always helped him to talk to his late wife.

"Look honey," he murmured, "There I have to turn. I can't even bomb them anymore. Damn this whole war look at those young boys! They haven't even lived their lives to the fullest and they may not be able to by the end of the war." He was not only talking about the Kinmoku people but also about the soldiers from earth. It wasn't long when suddenly a fighter ship over him crashed and impacted right top of him. He hit his head on the side of his chair, right on the corner, and blood splattered around him. Through tearful eyes he saw the picture of the woman he loved covered in blood and then all went black.


"Sir Tomolo's plane was crashed and we got him out before the impact but he is in critical condition." Yaten bit his lip at the message.

Behind him Ami was cleaning a man's wound. He heard as the man groaned in pain. They were low on pain relievers so they were saving them for the worse injuries.

"Stay still!" came Minako's voice was wavering and lacking its usual confidence but she stayed steady. She was holding the leg while Ami cleaned it.

"There is an infection." Ami said softly, "Mina cover it up and bandage it!" the girl, Yaten had noticed, had been firing orders to Minako and some other nurses swiftly and moving fast to save lives. And Minako wasn't the same girl he had known. In a month she had turned from a squealing and innocent girl to a tough machine gun holding maniac. He remembered how she had recoiled one time at the sight of his blood and now she was bandaging a wounded whose blood was smeared on half her arms.

"Do you have an OR here?" he heard Ami yell across the room, "we have a man with a tank break stuck through his arm! We may need lots of stabilizers! Pain relievers! Anesthetic please!" They wheeled the injured man into a room.

Just then Taiki walked in. Ami rushed past him yelling orders to the nurses while Minako got done bandaging the man. Without noticing him, Ami ran into a covered room, which was for emergencies, and Minako moved to a man whose head was bleeding.

Yaten's eyes met Taiki's. His eyebrows were raised. His eyes in a wide position that Yaten had never seen them in. Just like him, he was surprised.

"Tomolo's critical." Yaten said immediately.

"And?"

"They don't know what to do." Yaten replied, "Most of the doctors are here and the doctor there are way too far away to reach him…"

"Then we can only hope he dies a happy death." Taiki said and Minako heard. She yanked the bandage hard. Did he just say a happy death? The man was colder then she thought. The man whom she was bandaging yelped at the sudden pressure.

"Oh sorry!" she said shocked and loosened her grip.


Ami was sweating. This was absurd. The break was stuck in the man's arm in such a bad position. The arm was not broken but was on the verge of being broken.

"The only way we can get this out is…" she hesitated but she knew she couldn't, "Is by turning him over. I need two people to hold his arm and move along with it while 5 people including me turn him over. Get the scalpel ready and please wipe the blood!" The people hurried to listen to a person who had had less medical training then them, but they didn't need to know that. Ami took a deep breath and started the operation. Occasionally she would say things like "Water" and "Suction" but that was about all she could manage without showing her panic.


Kunzite watched the battle. He was gonna back off but the Prince's orders had told him to hold his position until further notice. He didn't know this was going to happen. He thought that Nephrite's forces would have kept them well away from here and then he could have gotten a chance to see Minako.

Minako had sent him the message that she had told people that she was working in this area while there was no work. She had told him to meet her on the ground but before he could do any such thing the two remaining Generals arrived and got forces ready. Now they were torn between two battles, not properly prepared for either. He cursed the Prince for giving orders to keep on fighting. It just wasn't right.


Twelve hours later Captain Tomolo took his last breath. His last memory had been the face of his wife covered in blood. Sora had arrived on the site couple of hours earlier, since Yumeko had abandoned her, to see if she could help. She had been the one holding Tomolo's hand when he died.

Suppressing the tears she hoped he was with his family now. She wondered when death of people around her would become easy.
