'' Thoughts

All your beliefs filled up with lies
Blinded from what you call prophets
Your Jihad's a joke, revenge is our fight
We'll crush the Al Quaeda to stop it

Drop the bombs in…
Drop the bombs in…
Wipe out your muthafucking schemes
Bring the troops in…
Bring the troops in…
Wipe out your minority

World has united to weed out the scum
Our people have all took a stand
We're tired of your bullshit, the actions of few
That threaten the future of man

Drop the bombs in…
Drop the bombs in…
Wipe out your muthafucking schemes
Dig the roots out…
Dig the roots out…
Your holy war is nothing to be proud

A call to arms
This call for pride
You can never take from what we feel inside
All our strength
Is in our hearts
This is our call to arms…

SOULFLY: A call to arms.

Adam stands in the shrine gardens training with Amara in her senshi form, their swords clashing creating sparks from both blades as they counter each others attacks before they stop.

"Not bad… not bad at all." Amara says as she de transforms and Adam re sheathes his sword.

"Adam, why do you fight?" Artemis asks.

"I fight for the future and it's freedom."

He sits down and takes his tank top off and uses it to wipe away the sweat from his face and the girls notice a tattoo.

"What's with the tattoo?" one of the girls asked.

"Me and Ricky got the same tattoo a skull with Death or Glory written underneath it, it's something he used to say, we were drunk at the time." He replied putting his tank top on as Raye comes out of the shrine.

"Trouble?" Ami asks.

"Yeah, and a whole heap of It." She replied.

"Looks like this is a call to arms." Adam says as the girls transform and head for a brawl.

"HEY WAIT UP! I CAN'T ROOF HOP!" he shouts whilst running to the brawl, when he gets their he stops for a moment to get his breath back before diving into the brawl.

"HEY! Watch where you're putting that weapon." He shouts at Uranus as he snaps a youma's neck with his hands before dropping it and moving on to the next one and so on until the fights over and they leave the scene very quickly.

'I'm getting to old for this.' Adam thinks to himself as he sparks up a cigarette and takes a drag from it before sitting down, grabs his knife from his boot and balances it on the tip of his finger before flipping the knife upwards and catches it before putting it away.

"What was all that about?" Trista asks.

"You've seen Aliens?" he says to Trista "well, when Bishop does all those moves with the knife, I learnt it."

"What are you going to do when you go back to your own time?" Trista asks him as he flicks his cigarette into a bin.

"I may have to lead the freedom fighters into the battle for Tokyo."

"You sound like you don't want to."

"I don't, they'd never follow me into a fight." He replied.

"You'd be surprised what people can do when they have to fight." She says as she looks at Adam "the outers don't get along with the inners but together we fight to create crystal Tokyo."

"Yeah, but nothing last forever." He replied.

"True, crystal Tokyo will eventually fall."

"Hey, by then I'll be around to stop it." He replied grinning.

Amara walks in to see Trista giggling.

"What the… Trista giggling?" Amara said before looking at Adam.

"Well, I am a wiseass." He replied to the look Amara was giving him before he goes up to his room and puts on the radio.

There's so many people dying
You complain about your situation
What about me?
Half the world wouldn't know
What it's like to lose your seed
Maybe you can understand

(How I feel)
I cannot reach that soul
You're probably watching over us
Know that I think of you
It's killing me

The guilt has lasted years, still cry
It was all planned out
Why was I last to know?
Don't you trust in me?
The table's cold, it's too late
To make up for these mistakes
Maybe you can't understand

(How I feel)
I cannot reach that soul
You're probably watching over us
Know that I think of you
It's killing me
(How I feel)
If I would have known
I can't say what I would have done
If you could forgive
I'd like to rest with you someday

(How I feel)
I cannot reach that soul
You're probably watching over us
Know that I think of you
It's killing me
(How I feel)
If I would have known
I can't say what I would have done
If you could forgive
I'd like to rest with you someday

He hears a knock at the door and he goes to answer it, opens the door to reveal Hotaru "hey Hotaru." He says.

"Can I come in?" she asks.

"Sure." He replies.

Hotaru walks in and closes the door behind him, "What did you want?" he asked as Hotaru sat on a chair.

"I wanted to know what our connection is in your time?"

"We're just friends." He says, "I'd die to protect her and you."

Hotaru blushes when Adam passes her the photo she had seen when he arrived in this time "keep it." He tells her.

"Thank you Adam." She says before leaving and going downstairs holding the photo.

"What's that Hotaru?" Michelle asked her daughter.

"Adam gave me the photo of his friends." She replied as she blushed.

"Wasn't that sweet of him."

"He also said he'd die to protect me." She replied, as she turned even redder in the face.
