Priss pulled the tight cloth of the skin suit over her body with some difficulty seeing as how the suit was for someone that was smaller in frame than she was. Finally she was in the skin suit and walked from the dressing room and into the launcher where she found a suit a lot like her old one. She climbed in expecting the coldness that she always had but to her surprise it was rather warm. She closed up the suit and walked into the elevator with the helmet in her hands. And took it to the 3rd floor as Sylia told her to. Sylia was on the phone talking to a friend that had a small plain that would take them to the island and back.
"Yea I'll pay you for your trouble." Sylia said. "Just be ready to go in 1 hour."
Sylia hung up and looked at Priss and smiled.
"Looking good." She said with a smile.
"I can't go out like this." Priss said. "If someone sees me."
"It'll be ok." Sylia said. "If you're seen by a human then you'll revive praise for risking your life for them and if it's a boomer you can destroy it."
"What happened to that secret identity?" Priss asked.
"Priss it's gonna be ok now I'll be right back." Sylia said and walked into her room.
A minute later she came out in her old hard suit.
"Can you even fight in that?" Priss asked. "Considering your age?"
"My age has nothing to do with this I'll be fine I just want you to have backup if we run into any trouble." Sylia said.
"What about your grand son?" Priss asked.
"He won't get back in the suits after his girl friend was killed." Sylia said.
"I guess I can understand." Priss said.
"Let's go." Sylia said and stepped into the elevator.
They took the elevator down to the store floor and walked out. All the customers saw as 2 Knight Sabers walk out from the elevator and walk up to the counter.
"We'll be back." Sylia said.
Several customers starred as they walked out of the building.
"This is gonna be a fight." Leo said to himself.
Small airport outside Tokyo
Priss and Sylia got out of the car they took and walked into the hanger where a man in his sixties was working on a plane.
"Harry is it ready?" Sylia asked.
"Yea it is." Harry said.
"Ok let's go before the boomers start making their rounds." Sylia said.
Sylia and Priss boarded the plane and Harry started the engine. The plane lifted off from the runway and headed for its destination.
"Hey umm how much fuel do we have?" Priss asked.
"Enough to get us around the world 3 times." Harry said.
"Most things are nuclear powered now." Sylia explained.
"I see." Priss said. "It's gonna be hard getting use to it."
"Well hopefully you'll have Linna and Nene to go through it with." Sylia said.
"That's only if we find them." Priss said mournfully.
"We will." Sylia said.
"Well a lot has happened to me today I think I'll catch some sleep." Priss said leaning back in her seat and closing her eyes.
6 hours later
Priss was awoken by the plane jolting suddenly.
"What's going on?" She asked sitting up.
"We're landing." Sylia said.
Priss looked out the window and saw the ocean and a small island. Priss felt her heart skip a beat as she thought about finding her friends' remains.
"Ok Harry set the plane down in the water and bring us up to the beach." Sylia.
Harry set the plane down and Priss and Sylia got out and jumped onto the beach. It took them less than 5 minutes to locate a grave along the beach that had the name Nene Romanova carved into a slab of stone.
"Well here's Nene." Sylia said crossing herself and saying a little prayer for her friend.
"Let's get her out." Priss said mournfully.
Priss and Sylia took some shovels and started digging slowly so as not to damage Nene's remains. She had been buried several feet down and to took them a few minutes to find her remains.
"Nene Please forgive us." Sylia said as they lifted her remains out of the hole in a casket like box and loaded it on the plane.
"Ok." Priss said wiping the tears from her eyes. "Let's find Linna."
Priss walked along the tree line as Sylia went deeper in. they searched for hours without finding anything. They met up in the middle of the island in a small clearing.
"Let's see if we can find someplace that Linna may have gone to find shelter." Priss said.
"I saw a cave on top of a cliff as we came in." Sylia said. "Let's see if she is in there."
Priss and Sylia walked to the cliff and soon found the cave. It was dark but they could see the end of the cave. They say something leaning up against the wall of the cave.
"I think we found her." Priss said feeling a lump grow in the back of her throat.
They walked into the cave slowly and without speaking. They walked to the figure and saw it was the remains of a human and there was a rock with words carved on it. Sylia reached down and picked it up and slowly read it aloud.
"My name is Linna Yamazaki I am writing this for anyone that finds my body they will know who I am and what has happened to me. My friend Nene and I have been stranded on this island for over a month now. Nene passed away 2 days ago and soon I will follow her. If Priss or Sylia find this I want you to know." Sylia read.
"I want you to know what?" Priss asked through her tears.
"It stops there." Sylia said as she chocked back her tears. "She must have died as she was writing it."
Priss and Sylia went back to the plane for the casket in witch to bring Linna's remains back. Very carefully they lifted their friend's body trying to keep it in tacked and placed it into the box and closed the lid. Priss Sylia and Harry stood in a small circle and said a prayer for their friends souls then got in the plane and headed for Tokyo to have them regenerated.
Saint Bishop's hospital Tokyo Japan
Priss and Sylia walked into the hospital in regular clothes and informed the desk clerk that they had 2 bodies that they wanted regenerated. Sylia paid the fees for this now common procedure and the caskets were taken into the regeneration room. Priss and Sylia sat in a room for people that were waiting for someone to be regenerated when the door opened and a young woman in a hospital robe walked in. Priss and Sylia looked up and their eyes met Nene's tear filled eyes.
"Nene." Sylia said standing up and throwing her arms around her.
"Hi Sylia." Nene said.
Nene looked over at Priss and saw the tears forming in her eyes. Nene let Sylia go and faced Priss.
"I'm glad you killed Galatia." Nene said.
"I'm sorry you had to suffer on that island." Priss said giving Nene a hug.
"I'd rather not think of it." Nene said. "It was too painful to think of."
"I understand." Priss said. "My own death was hard on me as well."
Nene sat on a seat and laid her head back and sighed deeply.
"I don't know if I wanted to be brought back." Nene said.
"It's for a good cause." Sylia said. "Tokyo is under the control of Boomers."
"What?" Nene asked sitting up.
Sylia sighed deeply and told Nene the whole story she told Priss the day before. When she was finished Nene had a look of shock on her face.
"I see." She said. "So your daughter and grandsons girlfriend was killed."
"That's right." Sylia said.
"Man that's hard." Nene said.
As they were talking a nurse walked in.
"Umm Miss Yamazaki has been regenerated." She said. "She is in a Coma but is already showing signs of coming too. She should be ready to go home soon."
"Thank you." Priss said and stood up. "Let's go see her."
Priss Nene and Sylia walked down the hallway and stopped at the door where Linna was.
"Ummm Nene." Priss said. "As far as Linna knows you died. And Sylia your old looking. I think I should go in and break it to her as easy as I can."
"That's a good idea." Nene said.
"I agree." Sylia said taking a seat in a chair in the hall.
Priss walked into the room and up to Linna's bed. Linna was lying in the bed with her eyes open. She looked right into Priss's eyes as soon as she saw her.
"Hi." Linna said kind of weakly.
"Hi." Priss said.
"Where am I?" Linna asked.
"You're in the hospital." Priss said.
"How long have I been here?" Linna asked.
"A few hours." Priss said.
"The last thing I remember I was writing a note on a rock then I must have passed out." Linna said.
"No you didn't." Priss said.
"What do you mean?" Linna asked.
"You died." Priss said.
"I what?" Linna asked with a blank expression.
"You died 70 years ago." Priss said.
"Then why are we here if I died?" Linna asked thinking it was a joke.
"We all died 70 years ago after the fight with Galatia." Priss said. "Science has improved enough and now they have the ability to regenerate us by using only our remains."
"Your full of it." Linna said still taking it as a joke.
"Nene died right?" Priss asked.
"Yes I buried her on the beach looking out over the sun set." Linna said fighting back the tears.
Priss turned around and walked to the door and opened it and Nene walked into the room and gave Linna a warm smile.
"Oh my god." Linna said covering her mouth.
"Now do you believe me?" Priss asked.
"Yes." Linna said as she started to cry.
Sylia came walking into the room and looked at Linna with tears in her eyes.
"Well look who's awake." Sylia said.
"Sylia?!" Linna said in shock. "Your still alive?"
"Yep." Sylia said. "And now that your all alive its time for the Knight Sabers to ride again."
