Angel struggled, her body had nothing more to give.

Have to get back up.. I must get up... She growled to herself as her willpower were still not stronger than the weariness of her body.

"Angel!" Emeraldas called were she sat unable to do anything.

"Give it up, wolf. You cant save her, just die!" Gokai called aiming his gun to the wolf as she were nearly standing again. The female wolf growled suddenly angry towards the man, making Gokai back of surprised by the wolf's still remaining strength. The white wolf lifted her head to the sky and howled out with all her quickly disappearing strength. Gokai backed of and locked around for any one coming. Seeing no one and as the howl ended, he grinned as he saw Angel fall down again, her strength finally having left her completely.

"What a stupid thing to do. There is no one coming to your help no matter how much you call. My men have the Pirates busy, and the stupid little ship over you can not help you." He growled aiming his gun yet again to the wolf.

Yet not far from where Emeraldas and Angel were in danger, three shadows were going closer by the minute. Soon after they had left the Warrior, following the way he had pointed out to them, young Fang had picked up the trail of his mother as well as the tracks of Emeraldas. He was glad for the little tracking training, his dad had given him, as right now they would have lost the track many times if not. Yet he lead Young Harlock and Tochiro jr strait on following the sent. Tochiro had not said much since he had heard his mother had been tortured.

"Are we still on the right track, Fang?" Young Harlock asked as they ran. The wolf cub nodded as he ran but froze as he heard something.

What on earth was that? The cub asked himself before he with ease jumped up in one of the trees and listened into the woods.

"Wow! How on earth did you do that? I did not know Wolfs could climb trees." Tochiro mumbled standing under the tree the cub was in. Fang was about to answer, when he suddenly saw the unmistakable light of laser bullets, as two ships where fighting over the skies. Jumping down from the tree, using the branches as platforms, Fang landed in front of the boys.

"I saw ships fighting over there, your dad must have found her, Tochiro... But it looked like the Cosmo Wing was damaged. I could see smoke coming from it." Fang whined. Tochiro cursed angry.

"Lets hurry then. lead the way Fang." Harlock said knowing very well what his friend was feeling. Fang nodded and ran on, leading them further into the woods towards the sound of battle. All three of the froze for a second before running on, when they heard a wolf call calling from the way they here heading.

Mother... Fang whined as he heard the desperate tone in it.

Emeraldas looked worried on, as Gokai walked closer to Angel, grinning as he did. Emeraldas looked around for anything she could use, when she saw a rock lying next to her. Forcing her painful body to move, she picked up the rock and threw it towards the man. Gokai growled angry as the rock hit his arm hard, making him miss his shot at Angel and hit the ground. He turned to see the Emerald green fire that burned in her eyes.

"there there, my Queen. I will get back to you soon enough. Just wait a little longer." He grinned and aimed again, when suddenly a wolf call howled from the Prison. A strong and angry call. Angel lifted her head, smiling a little when she heard it.

"Lighting.." She whispered low. To their surprise a new howl sounded from the forest not far from them at all.

"What?" Gokai growled and turned. He could not see anyone coming. "Well then since you are expecting company, let me finish you of quickly then." Gokai growled, as he now stood in front of Angel pointing his gun down to her head. Then suddenly two shots came out from the forest, missing the man with only a few inches to spare.

"What the hell?" He growled turning to see two shadows in the edge of the wood.

"Curses." He growled and aimed again at Angel. Just as he was about to shot, a small black shadow ran strait towards him and just as Gokai begun to pull the trigger, the shadow passed his arm and Gokai screamed out in pain as his arm were pulled up, missing his shot. His arm had a deep bleeding cut in it and Gokai backed off holding to his wounded arm, looking to the the young wolf cub now standing in front of his mother. Showing his white fangs, a few drops of blood dripped from his fangs, as he growled.

"Keikai!" Angel whined as she saw her son, the young wolf turned and looked at her. Before he was looking to lady Emeraldas, behind her. Angel turned to see two young boys not even at the age of ten, but yet unmistakable familiar.

"Lady Emeraldas are you okey?" One asked making the pirate queen turn her head and look into his eyes. Those Hazel brown eyes she would have reconised anywhere, the young boy looked at her worried. Emeraldas turned around and froze as she saw the other young boy that she had never believed she would see again.

"Tochiro.." She gasped out, she was still in more pain than she liked.

"Mom, are you okey?" He asked worried as he saw her pained face. She could not help but wonder as to how he could still call her mother after leaving him like she had, and yet she felt proud over hearing it and seeing how her son had managed on his own.

"What the hell? Just kids. Oh well, I'll finish up nice and quick with you then. I still have a woman to break down." Gokai said and aimed his gun to Young Harlock.

"Don't think it will be that easy. I wont let you do any more harm to her." Harlock growled as Fang snared.

"Keikai.. Where is... your father?" Angel whined to her son, as she tried to get up again.

"Don't worry mom, dad is not far of... and my new name is Fang. Young Harlock named me." The cub smiled and looked at her. Angel smiled.

"Fang, it is a good name.. Young Harlock, so that is the young boy's name. I guess I could see it in him." She smiled tired.

"Rest easy mom, we'll hold him of you." Fang growled and just as Gokai grinned and took the shot towards Harlock, the cub jumped up at his arm again. Moving like his dad had trained him and again cut his arm making his shot miss. Gokai growled angry and fired a couple of shots of towards Fang that moved quickly away. Gokai growled angry when Harlock's shot passed his left arm and made a wound, he had only missed by a few inches.

"Blasted kids. I'll show you!" He growled and aimed towards Tochiro that tried to help his mother get up and move her out of harm's way.

"Oh no you dont!" Harlock called as he fired of yet another shot, this time hitting him in his shoulder. The man turned enraged and fired a few shots towards young Harlock, as the boy were forced to pull back. Fang was moving again and distracted Gokai from Harlock, when suddenly a rain of fire came raining down over Gokai as finally Tochiro sr had gotten rid of the last ship.

"Dad!" Tochiro called glad, as he saw the Cosmo wing came down of a landing.

"To..chiro." Emeraldas gasped, glad to se her love had make it out of there. her conscious were starting to slip.

"Hang on mother, it is almost over." Tochiro r said supporting her.

Gokai threw himself around to get out of the way from the fire, when fang charged at him again using his fangs to cut him and graping his gun when he lost it. The cub ran up to Young Harlock with the gun and dropped it.

"Blasted kids!" Gokai snared and drew up his cord. Young Harlock's eyes narrowed angry and Fang snared angry.

"Stand back Young Harlock, Fang. help Angel and Emeraldas into the Cosmo wing. I'll handle this." Tochiro sr said as he drew his Katana from under his cape. Young Harlock nodded as they turned to help Angel up again.

"Bastard you will pay dearly for this!" Tochiro growled in a tone as cold as Harlock's could ever get. Gokai smiled as he looked to Tochiro.
