Hello my friend we meet again
It's been a while where should we begin...feels like forever
Within my heart are memories of perfect love that you gave to me
Oh, I rememberWhen you are with me
I feel...I'm careless...I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice

We've seen our share of up's and down's
Oh, how quickly life can turn around... in an instant
It feels so good to reunite within yourself and within you mind
Let's find peace there
When you are with me

Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice

(I just want to settle again)
I just want to settle again

I feel...I'm careless...I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes

When you are with me
I feel...I'm careless...I believe
Above all the others we'll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice

My sacrifice

(I just want to settle again)

My sacrifice

Creed: My sacrifice

"As soon as the battle starts I want you to try and stop Mina from getting involved in my fight." Adam says as he puts his armour on. 'This is my sacrifice.'

They all nod and transform into their senshi forms and head off for battle.

"Anyone here scared?" Adam asks.

"No." came the reply from everyone.

"I'm fucking shiting myself." He replied.

"Why?" Ami asks.

"Every time I fight, I take it as it could be my last." He replies, "good people I have known have died and I lived."

They arrive at the battlefield also known as the park and they wait for the battle to begin, Adam lies in the grass staring at the sky waiting and closes his eyes when he reopens them he finds himself in a battlefield environment, he was standing in a building with Yuki behind him and a few others standing beside him holding their rifles as clubs they look at each other before they run out into the enemy hoping to take as many as they can with them to their death.

"Wake up." Lita shouts in his ear causing him to grab Lita's arm and through her onto the ground and he grabs his knife and puts it to her throat.

"Don't ever do that again." Adam said as he put his knife away and helps Lita up.

"What do you want?" he asks.

"They're here." Lita replied.

"Thanks." He replied as he follows Lita to where the others were before drawing his sword and knife and steps in front of the others "you know what to do." He says to the senshi and they nod back and distract Mina from jumping into the fight as Adam and Serena fight, their swords clash creating sparks before they both pull their swords away and before Adam blocks a slash with his knife and punches her with the hilt of his sword, Serena staggers back before she runs at him but Adam sidesteps and spins round on one foot and blocks another strike by Serena.

In Adam's time, Trista and Hotaru watch the fight through the time gates.

'I hope he'll be alright.' Hotaru thinks to herself.

"You like him, don't you?" Trista asks.

"As a friend." Hotaru replied.

"You know what I mean."

Hotaru blushes at what Trista said.

"I don't know." Came the reply before they go back to watching the fight, they watch as Adam ducks from a head swing and blocks another strike before Mina jumps into the fight and Adam has to fight against the two and doing badly with cuts and one going down his back where Serena had managed to cut his armour, they hear a click and see Adam holding a grenade in his hand and the pin on his thumb.

"How the hell?" Trista shouts.

"It's Adam, he probably strapped it underneath his armour." Hotaru replied before they go back to watch the outcome of the fight.

"If I'm going to die, I'm taking you two with me." Adam says trying not to let go of the grenade handle as he struggles to stand up, when he stands up he uses his sword handle to try and stand up but he falls to his knees and he releases the grenade and it drops to the floor with smoke coming from one end.

"A smoke grenade?" Trista says.

"Nope, knock out gas, he's been working on it between battles." Hotaru replies.

Actual timeline

Adam holds his breath until the gas dissipates before attempting to stand up before Lita and Trista hold him up.

"What was in that?" Trista asked.

"Something I've been working on for a while." He replied as Amara and Michelle pick up Serena and Mina and they head back to Amara and Michelle's apartment.

Later

Serena and Mina wake up and find their hands and legs tied together.

"What happened?" Mina asks.

"I don't know." Serena replied.

Adam walks in with some food; he places the food down and grabs his knife and cuts through the rope holding their hands together.

"Sorry about this you two, it was a safety precaution." Adam said as picked up their food and gives it to them before he cuts through the ropes holding their feet together.

"I've done my job here, I've prevented what's going on in my time… I'll be going back soon I guess…" Adam said before leaving.

Adam's time

"Hotaru, it's time Adam returned home." Trista said.

"Okay." Hotaru replied as she stands up and walks through the time gates.
