Koushiro went to Medical Bay, along with Mimi, who was hopeful of seeing Yamato again after 3 years.

The doctor reported that Yamato suffered a concussion, and some minor scrapes and bruises, but he'll be okay.

And then Yamato tried to come out of his bed, wincing in pain. A nurse tried to keep him on the bed, but he refused.

Koushiro and Mimi came up, and managed to convince him to rest for the time being.

Koushiro then asked the doctor, "Is this really him? Or is it a fake?"

The doctor responded, "Well, his bio scans read exactly like Yamato, so I wouldn't worry about some sort of Dark illusion,"

Mimi thanked the doctor as Koushiro started to talk to Yamato, "Well, old friend, it seems that you've had your share of fun,"

Yamato looked at Koushiro and Mimi, while adjusting his body on the bed, "You look older, you too Mimi,"

Koushiro responded, "And you don't look like you aged a bit when you left the Digital World three years ago,"

Yamato was surprised, "Three years ago?"

Mimi tried to calm him down again, "Please try to relax, I know you suffered only minor injuries but you still have to rest a bit,"

Koushiro continued, "Judging from your reaction, I'd say you don't belong in this time period,"

Yamato said, "I'd say so too, but Koushiro I don't how I got here,"

Mimi smiled, "I'm just glad that you're back, when we get to the Digital World we can all find Sora and-"

"I don't think that'll be necessary," Koushiro interjected, "I suggest we put Yamato back on his ship and send him back to his time period,"

Both Yamato and Mimi were shocked, Mimi cried out, "WHY? That doesn't seem right! And-"

Koushiro interjected once again, "Mimi, can you get me some yogurt?"

Mimi was outraged, "Is this really the time for yogurt?" but Koushiro looked at her, and practically begged her, "Please?"

That appeared to work, as she calmed down and sighed, "Fine, one strawberry yogurt coming up, Yamato would you like anything?"

Yamato replied, "No that's okay, thank you though,"

Mimi nodded, and just as she left, she looked back at Yamato, "Hey, Yamato?"

Yamato answered, "Yeah?"

"It's good to see you again,"

Yamato smiled and said, "It's good to see you too," then Mimi went out the door smiling as well.

But Koushiro wouldn't let the moment last, "Yamato, do you remember the Oikawa's maiden voyage?"

"Yeah, before the Oikawa left, an agreement was signed between the Digimon and the Digidestined,"

Koushiro informed Yamato, "The finding of an alliance between Digimon and Humans, the treaty that found the Coalition,"

"What does that have to do with me?"

Koushiro sighed, "You obviously don't understand how significant that was for both sides, let alone the ship itself,"

"What do you mean?"

"The Oikawa was a symbol, of the unity between the Digimon and the Digidestined, as both Digimon and Digidestined operated the Oikawa as one crew,"

"Yeah that's true,"

"But when the Oikawa disappeared, everything started to go wrong,"

"I see,"

"Yes, I hope you do. Because not only did we lose a crew of 800, not only did we lose one of D-Fleet's greatest spaceships, not only did we lose a great Admiral and a competent Captain; we lost faith in each other,"

"Well, I'm sure that just one ship's destruction wouldn't be enough to destroy an alliance,"

"It wasn't only that, Willis too,"

"Willis?"

"Yes, why didn't you keep him on board? Why didn't you kill him? Why didn't you just leave him to die in space?" Koushiro lost his composure, and violently shook Yamato.

Yamato tried to calm him down, "Relax, Izz,"

And that surprised Koushiro, the last time he was called that was by Tentomon, and after a few minutes of shock, Koushiro sighed, "You know, I wasn't called that for a long time," Koushiro let go of Yamato and turned around to calm down.

Yamato asked, "Why do you hate Willis so much?"

"It's not him personally; it's just what he brought,"

"Brought?"

"He brought hope to us, the Digidestined, and we were more determined than ever to find Earth,"

"So how is that bad?"

"Let me put it this way: you are at home, minding your own business, and then all of a sudden you friends come out of nowhere and ask if they could stay over for a bit. They rant on and on about their own homes, and all they ever do is dream about leaving your home, criticize your home; and yet they also just sit there while talking about home, eating your food, using your water, and building stuff out of your things to try to get to their home. Yamato, we're unwelcomed guests, and the Digimon were more than happy to take us, but all we do is use their resources and talk about going home; try to go home by using their resources, their manpower. We're exploiting the Digimon, Yamato! At least that's how they see it now…"

"And Willis made things worse?"

"Unfortunately, yes. Right now, the only Digidestined on the Digital World are those Admirals and Ambassadors trying to salvage the situation, everyone else are on spaceships or space stations," Koushiro was back in Yamato's face, "And some relationships are beyond repair, like Sora and Biyomon or Daisuke and Veemon. Others who have been betrayed for their own pointless cause like me and Tentomon. Some friends were killed trying to save the Coalition, like Hikari and Jyou. Some friends were imprisoned for the cause, like Gatomon and Takeru,"

Koushiro had an emotional outbreak, as tears were mounting in his eyes, "And some don't give a damn but can't see their dearest friends because of all this like Mimi and Palmon!"

"The Coalition is dying, crumbling in front of us, and our own Digimon aren't to blame, if anything they should've kicked us out when we first set foot on their turf, it's us. And our obsession to try to get back home, when we forgot, that the Digital World is our home as well,"

Yamato was overtaken by grief and sadness of what was happening, especially if Koushiro was crying over it, since he hardly ever does anything like this, "Tell me what I have to do,"

As Koushiro was wiping his tears he said, "Go back three years, and stop all this," Koushiro stared into Yamato's eyes, trembling as he spoke, "Do you know what your primary mission was when you commanded the Oikawa?"

Yamato responded, "General Order #1: Seek out, by any means necessary, Earth,"

Koushiro stood up, took a deep breath and again calmly informed Yamato, "That changed a year ago for me, and as of now so will it for you," Koushiro continued taking a deep breath, then reciting, "General Order #1: To protect and preserve the Coalition by any means necessary,"

Yamato said, "I intend to follow that order to the grave now,"

"So does everyone else," Koushiro muttered, "So does everyone else…"
