"WHAT HAPPENED?!! WE HAD THE PERFECT PLAN!! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!!" screamed an obviously pissed General T. (Tachikawa)

"I don't know General, they only told me to tell you that the plan failed. There was no explanation" replied Becky.

"WELL GO AND FIND OUT!!" scream General T. again

"yes sir." She replied

And with that Becky bolted out of the room.

"No…NO WAIT! GO SEE IF THERE'S ANY SIGN OF UNIT ZC4369 AND MY DAUGHTER, I'LL GO SEE WHAT HAPPENED!" General T. yelled.

"AFFIRMATIVE!" Becky yelled back as she gave a salute, turned to her right, and kept on running.

Meanwhile back on Pluto*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Matt?…" Mimi started

"Hold on Meems, we're almost there." Matt replied quickly without a second thought.

"No Matt… I was gonna say." Mimi started again

"D…Don't worry we're almost there Meems." He replied again

"No Matt…there's a…" She started once again

"Meems. We're almost…"

"MATT! LOOK!" Mimi exclaimed pointing toward the sky.

Both of them looked up and a flaming space helmet like Matt's crash-landed in front of them.

"Oh my gawd." Mimi gasped.

Matt cautiously walked over to the red-hot helmet, and he slowly examined it. As the helmet cooled off he could see blue numbers printed on top of a now dark/burnt yellow circle.

'That's our military symbol and…' Matt thought as he looked closely at the numbers.

"VN8657…………………why do those look so familiar?" Matt whispered

"Matt? Who's is it? Is there something wrong?" Mimi asked

Matt was paying to much attention on the helmet and didn't hear her.

'*gasps*……no…it can't be…'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flash back ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Matt?"

"What TK?"

"Hand me my helmet."

"Um……Which one's yours?" Matt looked at the 5 helmets that were hung on the wall.

"The one that's hung on the wall."

"That's not a lot of help TK." ¬_¬;

*alarm goes off*

"Hurry Matt! Hand me my helmet!"

"Well you gotta tell me which one it is!!"

"The one with VN8657…………………………"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ End Flash back ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"N…N……No……TK?" The color in Matt's face vanished, as he stood there wide-eyed in horror.

"Who Matt?" Mimi asked,

"TK?!! NO!! THIS CAN'T BE!!"

"MATT? W…What's wrong? Who's TK?" Mimi was worriedly

"TK!! MY LITTLE BROTHER, THIS WAS HIS HELMET!! OH GAWD!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING, IT JUST CAN'T!!" Matt screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Oh no… Matt…I……I don't know what to say… I………he…TK……oh Matt." Mimi ran up to his side and held him.

"It…it can't be…it just can't." Matt said heart broken as tears clouded his eyes.

"I know sweetie, but it is… I'm sorry." Mimi said sympathetically

The two of them sat there in each other's arms mournfully crying over the lose of Matt's dear little brother, TK. (A/N ;_; *sniff*)

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"IT DIDN'T SHOW UP?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE BACKUP DIDN'T SHOW UP?!" General T. yelled.

"Well, the Unit you sent over was suppose to lead the back up to team #4JT, but since you sent him to go and bring back your daughter, the plan was useless."

"WHAT?! BUT I SPECIFICALLY PUT ZC4369 RECUIT ON ALERT FOR TEAM #4JT NOT BACK UP!"

"But General, sir, the main computer that downloaded the plan to the ships gave recruit ZC4369 back up."

"ARE YOU SAYING I'M WRONG?"

"N…N…No sir, 'course not. Why don't I check it for you."

*typing frantically*

Sudden explosion.

"OH SHIT!"

"WHAT HAPPEN!!"

"IT'S A VIRUS SIR!! SOMEONE OR THING PLANTED A VIRUS INTO THE MAIN COMPUTER!! IF WE DON'T CALL THE LAST LEFT UNITS BACK TO BASE, WE'RE GONNA LOSE ALL OF THEM!"

"WHO DID THIS! WHO F****** DID THIS?!" (AN: O_O;;)

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

'I can't believe TK's dead… he's………he's dead." Matt thought sadly as the two of them walked in silence.

For the next two hours they walked until they finally reached the mines.

"Matty?" Mimi asked softly

"Hmm?" he replied

"What do we do now?" she asked

"Well, we gotta quickly and quietly find one of those minerals, get back to the unit, and get you home safely." Matt said softly and smiled at Mimi.

"Oh……okay Matt." Mimi said looking away, blushing.

'Meems blushed… heh' Matt thought to himself smiling.

"There's one Meems." Matt said pointing towards a big yellow and red boulder that looked a lot like a sphere lava lamp.

"Okay Matt, but how will we get it back……it looks heavy." Mimi asked

"Ah… you see… it LOOKS heavy, but it ain't… it's just a hollow ball with gas in it." Matt replied.

"Oh" Mimi replied amazed

"Well……let's get this back to the jet before any of the locals find us." Matt said as he walked toward the ball of gas.

"Matt… MATT! LOOK!" Mimi exclaimed pointing towards an escape pod.

As they got closer and closer to the pod both of them saw someone sitting in it, half-conscious half not.

"T…Tai?" Matt asked, "Is that you?"

The young brunette slowly opened his eyes at the sound of his friend calling him.

"M…M…Matt?" Tai asked softly, then passing out again.

Mimi ran over towards the door of the pod and tried to open it, but it didn't move.

"Matt… it's stuck, I can't open the door!" Mimi said tugging on the door.

"what?"

"I said the door's stuck, Matt."

"Here, let me try; move a side Mimi, I don't want to accidentally hit you" Matt replied as he grabbed a piece of metal and shoved it between the door and the bumper on the front lower side of the pod.

"'Kay Matt." Mimi said

He stepped on the metal piece with his right foot, adding all his weight on to it. With each time he pushed down on it, the more the door moved. Then finally………*BAM!*……… the pod's door became loose and Matt and Mimi lifted it up, opening the door. Tai fell out without a seconds' ease.

"Tai? TAI?! Dude?! Wake up!" Matt yelled, lightly smackin' his best friend's face.

"Huh?" Tai murmured as he slowly opened his brown eyes.

"Hey Dude, what happened?" Matt asked, helping his friend sit up.

"Huh……uhn…… TK? TK?!! WHERE'S TK?!! I GOTTA FIND HIM! TK?!" Tai screamed as he jumped to his feet looking around for his dear friend.

"DUDE! TK AIN'T HERE ANYMORE!!" Matt screamed grabbing his best friend's shoulders, trying to calm him down.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!! I WAS JUST……"

"DUDE!! TK'S GONE!! He's gone man…" Matt said sadly as water began to build up in his eyes, "He's gone." Matt sighed mournfully as he walked over to a large boulder and sat down, burying his face in his hands.

"Oh man……… Matt I'm sorry, I…" Tai started, "I… I'm really sorry."

"yeah well…… life's a b*tch than you die, guess TK just beat us to it." Matt said grievously.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*3 hours passed*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

They got all the fuel they needed and filled the units' tanks. Matt sat on top of a boulder, gazing at the stars, as Mimi quietly walked up and sat down next to him.

"Oh, hey Meems… how's Tai?" Matt asked

"He says he's been better." Mimi replied, smiling.

Both of them didn't say much after that; just looked up at the stars and enjoyed the peace while it lasted.

"Why can't it always be like this Matt?"

"Like what?"

"You know" she sighed, "this peaceful."

"I really wish I knew Meems."

"Matt?"

"Yeah?"

"Why do you call me Meems? You're the first one to ever do that." Mimi looked over at Matt.

"I dunno, I guess………………I guess it just sounds cooler than MEE MEE." Matt made a face as he said her name, making her irritated.

"HEY!" Mimi turned her back to him and crossed her arms.

Mimi expected an apology, what with the "princess" environment she was used to. But instead of apologizing, Matt laughed.

"What part of me being angry is making you laugh?" Mimi asked strictly.

"You're just so cute when you're angry." Matt replied in between his fits of laughter.

'Oh my gawd!! DID I JUST SAY THAT OUTLOUD?!'

"You…………You think I'm cute?" Mimi asked, apparently astonished.

'Oh gawd………oh gawd oh gawd oh gawd.'

"uh……uh……err…um……I……You see… the thing is…" Matt stuttered.

"I think you're cute too."

"uh……I……um……err……HUH?!"

"You heard me Matty, I said I think you're cute. I like you Matt."

"I……I……I l…l…like you t…too."

Mimi and Matt started to get closer and closer and…… *PHISSSST……BAM! *

"MATT WHERE ARE YOU?! MATT?!"

Mimi panicked as she looked around too see if there was any sign of him.

'Matt? You were just with me a second ago. Where are you?'

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Out in the distance lay Matt, unconscious.

"I see there WERE Earthlings on our planet after all, great job soldiers. Here's your reward."

The Soldiers looked please with their job, but then suddenly the mysterious voice blasted the Plutonian soldiers to millions of pieces.

And then let out a horrific evil cackle.
