Haruo smiled down at Haruka in his arms. It had now been a couple days since she was born, and since then Haruo now has a new love and light in his life. "Haruo...are you okay?" Yuko asked, Haruo then turned around and faced her,

"Yeah, why?"

"Well you've been holding Haruka almost non-stop for the past couple of days. The only time you put her down is for when she needs to be fed."

"Is it wrong for me to want to hold my daughter?"

"No," she said with a smile, "I think it's cute." Soon the door opened.

"Awww, there she is!" Umika said walking in.

"Hey Umika." Yuko said,

"How have you been these last couple of days?" Umika asked Yuko,

"I've been just fine."

"Mhmm, and how's the baby?" Umika asked walking over to Haruo to get a look at her.

"She's been fine too, she's been spending a lot of time with her dad though."

"I can see that," Umika said with a smile as she looked at Haruka. "Mind if I hold her for a bit?" Haruo nodded, he then gently handed Haruka to Umika, Umika smiled, "Hi there~" Umika said sweetly to the baby, "Aren't you just the cutest?!" Umika smiled at her, Umika then gave Haruka her finger and Haruka grabbed onto it. Umika turned and faced Yuko, "She's the cutest."

"Thank you, you're really good with her." Yuko said with a smile, Umika nodded.

"Yeah, back when humanity was in space I would often babysit."

"I see."

"Oh, Haruo," Umika turned to Haruo, "X was looking for you."

"What did he want?" Haruo asked,

"I don't know."

Haruo sighed, he walked over to Umika and gave Haruka a quick kiss on the forehead before he turned and left the room. He walked to his bedroom and grabbed the buckle out of the top drawer in his desk. He frowned, the gem was still cracked, he sighed and put it in the pouch on the back of his belt. He then grabbed the leather jacket off of the hook and put it on before he turned and left. He found X near the exit door, "Well?" Haruo asked zipping up his jacket.

"We're in Tokyo, I need your help with something."

"What is it?"

"It's confidential, but follow me." The two then left the ship. Haruo looked around at Tokyo, it all was still standing. Odd.

"It's all in one piece, only it looks like it's been abandoned."

"Exactly." They started to walk through the city. Haruo looked around at everything, the entire city had been fossilized and covered in the strange metallic plant. "There's something I need you to look into for me while I do other things," X pulled a locator out of his pocket and handed it to Haruo, "Can you handle it?" Haruo too the locator and looked at the screen.

"Sure." Haruo then followed the locator. He followed it for a mile or so to a subway station. He walked down beneath the ground into the station. He then found a train stopped in the middle of the tracks. He went to the train and he pried open the doors. He stepped inside and walked clear to the front of the train, he looked down at the locator, he was close. He looked ahead of him, the track seemed clear. He then knelt down and opened up a compartment that lead to wires, he started to connect some of the wires until eventually the train started up. He moved the train forwards until he came to blockage in the tunnel. He sighed and stopped the train, he then got out of the train and walked to the many rocks filling the tunnel. They must've been there for thousands of years so there was no way he was moving them. He looked at the locator, what he needed to find was just beyond that wall.

He grabbed the blaster out of the holster on his leg and started to shoot at the wall, he continued to shoot until the wall came crumbling down. He covered his eyes as dust flew everywhere. Soon a cool breeze came through the open tunnel, Haruo breathes in, the air was fresh and clean. He walked through it, as he got to the other side he suddenly fell straight downwards, the wall curved and he eventually rolled onto the ground below. He groaned in pain and slowly stood up. He looked ahead of him and saw some sort of spaceship. He swallowed and started to walk towards it, he heard some rocks fall. Suddenly Haruo was tackled to the ground. Haruo rolled over and grabbed his attacker by the throat and pinned them against the ground, he then reeled his fist back to attack. He suddenly froze when he saw it was a woman about his age. She glared up at him, Haruo released her throat and the woman took a deep breath in and rolled over to her side, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that you were down here."

"Don't mention it." The woman said as she stood up, Haruo stood up and looked at her, her hair seemed to have almost a raggedy look to it, her eyes were a grayish blue color and her skin was fair. She wore what looked like a spandex body suit. She looked at him, "Who are you?"

"Haruo."

"Haruo?" She raised an eyebrow. She closed her eyes and placed her hands on her hips and tilted her head. "I knew a Haruo once, I doubt you two are the same. The Haruo I knew was as pampered as a princess." She then turned and walked over to the alien ship, he followed her. She walked onto the ship and he came shortly after her, she paused and turned and faced him, "Did I say you could come in?"

"No, but I assumed-"

"What? That I wanted you to follow me?" She just rolled her eyes, "Whatever." Haruo looked around at the alien ship, everything looked to be brand new.

"What is this?"

"A ship from my homeland, I found it after humanity abandoned me on Earth."

"You were left here? How old are you?"

"20,021 years old." She said as she took him to a lounge area, "You hungry?"

"Not really."

"Mm." She went to a machine, she pressed a few buttons and suddenly some sugar doughnuts appeared on a plate. She took them and then sat on a couch, she kicked her feet up on the coffee table. "So let me guess, you were sent down here because you finally realized you left me here?" She said taking a bite of a doughnut, "And now, you expect me to forgive you. Which I totally wont."

"Your homeplanet...What was it called?"

"You've probably never heard of it." She said taking another bite of a doughnut, "Since you haven't I'm not going to tell you."

"Fair enough." He said a little annoyed by her, she then looked over at him.

"You're pretty handsome."

"Um..."

"Do you make cute kids?"

"Uh, Yeah. My wife and daughter are back on my ship."

"Mm, So you're married then." She sighed and leaned her head back, "Great, the first man to see me in 20,000 years and he's married."

"What's your name?"

She then sat up and looked him in the eyes, "Hanabi."

"Hanabi?"

"Mhmm." She nodded, she stood up and finished off the one doughnut she was eating. "Want some coffee?" She asked walking over to a machine.

"No,"

"Suit yourself." She grabbed a cup and put it in the machine, she pushed a few buttons and suddenly coffee poured into the cup. She then took the cup and started to drink the coffee.

"So...Hanabi, if you had this ship why didn't you leave?"

"My dad ripped the engine out of it once he arrived on Earth, so I've been stuck here."

"Who's your father?"

"A man who's dead to me." She turned and faced him, "What about your father? Is he cool?"

"I guess."

"Why so many questions?"

"I'm just curious is all."

"I see." Hanabi then took her cup and started to chug down the coffee until it was gone. She then put the cup on the counter. "Welp, when you're finished please leave." She then went to the coffee table and took the plate of doughnuts and walked off, Haruo then waited a few seconds beforebhe followed her. He followed Hanabi to her room, she paused and turned around, "You're following me again."

"I just want to make sure you're safe."

"I'm fine." She then looked him up and down, "Hey, your butt's glowing."

"Hm?" Haruo then looked behind him, he reached into the pouch and pulled out his buckle, the then looked at the gem. It was glowing and had now repaired itself, Hanabi looked at the buckle, she walked over to him and took it from him, "Hey! Give that back!" She turned around and looked at it.

"Where'd you get this?"

"My father gave it too me."

"Your father huh?" She turned and tossed it back to him, "Cool." She then went to her dresser, she opened it and pulled out a buckle of her own. It looked similar to Haruo's only it had two handles on the ride and left sides of gem used for pulling. "This is mine, my father also gave it to me, well not really, I stole it when I came down here." Haruo then started to connect the pieces.

"Are we related?"

"What makes you say that?"

"What's your surname?"

"Sakaki."

"I see," Haruo said, "I can't believe this. Just one more thing the old man never told me about."

"And that is?"

"I am Haruo Sakaki, my father is Hikaru Sakaki."

"Neat." She said, "Nice to see you again big brother, not that you even remember me." She then walked over to her bed and laid down on it, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out."

"Hanabi, why wouldn't I remember you?"

"Because mom and dad kept me locked up in the basement,"

"I see...how much older am I than you?"

"About three years." She said, "You were always mom and dad's favorite. I was always shoved aside and left out of everything. I was six when humanity left Earth. I then found this place after going through dad's old shit from before mom."

"You've been alone this whole time?"

"Yep," She said closing her eyes, "And that's how I'd like it to stay, so good day Haruo."

"Hanabi, I'm not going to leave you here." He said, "Listen, come back with me to the Gotengo."

"Gotengo?"

"Yes, it's a ship, there's enough living space for you. You can meet my wife and daughter, mom is also alive."

"Of course she is."

"Hanabi, I get your pain, I've lived most of my life knowing that they were dead, but after a while I gave them both a chance. And I'm glad I did, it's what was best for me and my family."

"What does your family look like?"

Haruo reaches in his pocket, he pulls out a device and pulled up an image of Yuko, "This is my wife Yuko," she turned and looked at the image, "And this is my Little Haruka, she was born a couple days ago." He said swiping to the left to change the image.

"Hm, your daughter looks like me." Hanabi then turned her head and looked back the ceiling, "Tell her that Aunt Hanabi says hi when she learns to talk."

"Or you could tell her yourself." He said putting the device away, "Hanabi, come back with me."

"No."

"Yes."

"No." Hanabi then sat up and faced him, "What makes you think, that after living in your shadow for six years of my life, I would come back with you?" She stood up and started to walk past him, he then grabbed her arm, "Let go Haruo."

"No, I'm bringing you back with me."

"No you're not."

"I am," He then placed his buckle on his waist, "Even if it means I have to fight you."

"Zone! Standing by! Say to change!"

Hanabi then looked over at him, "You really are gonna fight me?"

"If I have too."

"Fine." Hanabi took her buckle and put it on her waist.

"Zone! Standing by! Pull to change!"

"But you aren't going to win." Hanabi said, she pulled her arm away from him, she pulled both of the handles, she then pulled them twice and turned and looked at Haruo. "Zone Chnage."

"Zone. On." The two were then swallowed by a pillar of light. They then appeared above the surface. Haruo turned and looked over at Hanabi. Her body seemed to be mostly silver with white markings, she had a purple combat skirt and her hands and boots were purple as well. Her eyes were smaller than his and looked more feminine, her facial features such as her jaw, nose, and mouth were softer to look more feminine. She had purple spike appendages on her forearms that looked almost like wings of a bat. She also had a purple chin guard, and her eyes were pink. She had a singular purple lighting bolt that went diagonally across her body. She clenched her fists and got in a fighting stance.

"Ike! Zone Smasher!"

"Fight! Zone Striker!"

Haruo then raised his arms to a fighting pose, "Hanabi, you're hurt, let me help."

"Don't tell me what to do Haruo, I'm a grown woman now."

The two stood there looking at each other, tension started to rise higher and higher. Soon it started to rain. Hanabi quickly twisted her ankle and she then charged him, she threw a punch and Haruo quickly blocked, she then sent a jab to his stomach. Haruo grunted and stumbled backwards, she then jumped through the air and sent a downwards punch to Haruo's chest, Haruo quickly crossed his arms and blocked, he then quickly swung his knee up and hit her in the side. He then lunges backwards, "I don't want to fight you if I don't have to Hanabi!"

"I don't care!" She then raises her arms, rockets appeared around her wrists. She then started to fire the rockets, Haruo spun and kicked the first rocket away before he spun and backhanded the next. He then made an energy shield to block the rest. Once she was finished Haruo raised his left arm to a vertical position so the back of his hand was facing her, light energy collected in his hand.

"Zone Spark!" Haruo then brough his right arm horizontally in front of his left arm in the middle of his right forearm. A blue and red beam attack shot out of Haruo's right hand towards Hanabi, she gasped and quickly lunges into the air. Haruo then looked up, Hanabi then landed on her knees directly on Haruo's shoulder, she twisted her waist and threw Haruo to the ground. She sprung to her hands before she landed back on her feet. Haruo quickly stood up and faced her, she then charged and tackled him to the ground, the two of them then landed into some mud. Hanabi pinned Haruo to the ground, she then punched him several times across the face. Haruo then grabbed the antenna on her head and pulled her next to him before he rolled on top of her, she tried getting up but Haruo just rolled her onto her front side and placed his knee on the center of her back. She then kicked the back of his knee and then she shoved him off of her. She slowly stood up as did Haruo, the two were covered in mud. Hanabi clenched her fists.

"Why aren't you taking this seriously?" She asked him,

"I don't want to hurt you."

"You hurt me by being born." She then charged him again, she then threw a punch, Haruo blocked, she swung with her other fist and he blocked again. She then tackled and tried to push him down, Haruo then grabbed her and pulled her off of him. "I'm going to kill you!!!" She then punched him across the face, Haruo suddenly had something flashed into his brain. It was in his old house, it was Haruo's birthday, Hikaru and Naomi were singing happy birthday, just past that was little Hanabi looking through a crack in the door leading to the basemen. Haruo then came back to reality and looked at Hanabi, Hanabi then punched him in the gut. Haruo saw another image flash. Hanabi was about six in this vision, she looked around the house, it was empty, it then showed her wandering through Japan crying and looking for her parents.

Haruo then came back to reality. Hanabi then threw another punch, Haruo moved and the punch went past him. Haruo then quickly wrapped his arms around Hanabi, "Hanabi...I'm so sorry..."

"Let go you monster!" She said trying to pull away from his embrace,

"You were so neglected, so lonely, I can't imagine the pain you felt."

"Shut up!" She suddenly pushed him off of her, "Fight me like you mean it!"

"You want me to fight you?" He sighed, "Fine, I'll fight you." He then got into a fighting stance, "Here I come." Haruo then rushed forward at a high speed, he uppercut her stomach sending her flying into the air, he then lunges into the air. He then turned her upside down and wrapped his arms around her waist, he then dropped straight down and smashed her head into the ground. He let go of her and he then lunges into the air, Hanabi then stood up and shook her head she then looked up. Haruo's foot then caught fire and he flew straight towards her with a fiery kick. "Zone Smasher Kick!" Hanabi tried to block it as best should before she was then thrown to her back by an explosion. Hanabi groaned as her color timer started to flash as did Haruo's. She then stood up and looked over at him. She then fell onto her hands and knees, she screamed in anger and then punched the ground as hard as she could. Haruo then walked over to her and knelt down, "Hey, it's okay." He reached his hand down to her, she looked at his hand and slapped it away. She stood up and so did he. Suddenly they heard an explosion, they looked into the air, they quickly lunges backwards as a large meteor shot down and crashed I to the ground in front of them.

Haruo and Hanabi looked at each other and then to the meteor, the mentors started to dissolve and suddenly a large creature with large hands stood where the meteor was. "It's an Orga..." Haruo said in disbelief, Orga roared and then shot a devastating beam from its shoulder at Haruo and Hanabi. The ground beneath them erupted in a massive explosion. Haruo and Hanabi were both sent flying backwards, they then landed on their back and returned to their human states. Haruo clenched his side and looked over at Hanabi, Hanabi sat up. She grabbed her buckle and looked at it.

"Damn...we can't transform for a whole twelve hours now..." Hanabi said, Haruo stood up and grabbed onto his buckle. "What do we do? This thing is going to destroy all of Tokyo." Haruo sighed and looked at Hanabi.

"We need to head back to the Gotengo."

"No."

"Yes!" He grabbed Hanabi's arm and turned her towards Orga, "That thing is blocking the way to the subway station!" He said pointing at it, "You'll die if you run back to your ship without being able to transform!"

"DON'T SHOW UP AFTER 20,000 YEARS AND ACT LIKE MY BIG BROTHER!!!" Haruo then quickly turned her and slapped her across the face.

"THEN DON'T BE STUPID!!!" She glared up at him, "We need to head back and figure out a plan. Alright?" He took her hand and the two of them then ran back to the Gotengo. They then arrived on board. Hanabi looked around at everything in disgust. "Are you Alright?"

"I'm fine!" Hanabi said pulling her arm away from him,

"No, you're not." He looked at her face, "You've got scrapes and bruises. You need a Doctor."

"No! What I need is for you to shut the hell up and get out of my life!" Haruo then grabbed her arm tightly, "OW LET GO!!!" He then dragged her all the way to the medical bay. He shoved her into the room and closed the door after them once they got in. Yuko was on the bed holding Haruka and Naomi was at the desk looking stuff over. Naomi looked up at them.

"Hey Haruo, who's your friend?"

"...are you kidding me...?" Hanabi said, "You know what, it doesn't matter. You barely payed attention to me so I doubt you would remember me."

"I don't think I would recognize someone like you, are you well?"

"Oh yeah! I'm fan-freaking-tastic!!!" Hanabi said glaring at her, she turned and faced Haruo, "Why did you bring me here Haruo?!"

"Because its what you need! If you don't get cleaned up then you'll get infections!"

"Do you know this girl Haruo?" Naomi asked,

"Yeah, I do. And you should too." He said folding her arms, "Her name is Hanabi Sakaki, and she's my sister."
