"You can't have a better tomorrow

If you don't stop thinking

about yesterday"

...

Screams. Gunshots. Zogilia. These were the only things that are filling her world right now. All Lia Pearson wanted, was to escape this dreadful, horrifying, scary or whatever similar that can describe this nightmare. Running and running, with her 15 years old sister, Lisa beside her.

"Lisa hurry!" Lia pulled Lisa. Then, Lisa's wrist vanished. Her whole existence disappear like smoke.

"LISA!" Lia screamed. She could, however still hear Lisa's voice calling her.

Lia.

Lia i'm here.

Lia, find me.

Lia!

Her brain was going to explode. All this emotions coming at once. All she wanted was a peaceful life. But the Zogilia Republic must destroy it.

"NO!" Lia screamed at the top of her lungs, gripping her head with both hands.

...

"LISA!" Lia sat up aruptly, panting heavily and clutched her chest to sooth her aching heart.

"Ah, she's awake!" a feminine voice exclaimed.

Lia blinked. Once. Twice. Turned her head around to examine her surroundings. Where... Am I? The room was unfamiliar to her. There are people in the room who are strangers to her. She looked down and realised she is wearing a pyjamas, like those in the hospital.

"Where am I...? Who are you people...?"Lia pulled the blanket up to feel more secure as her eyes are filled with horror and hands trembling.

"You are injured! We saved you! Well, not exactly we..." A brown hair boy who look like her age exclaimed. He tried to get closer but Lia reacted by backing off.

"Aoba-san, you are scaring her..." A pink-haired girl tried to pull him away from the terrified girl. " Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Nase Mayuka. You are at the sick bay of Cygnus, a ship that belonged to the Alliance." She smiled gently as she introduced.

"Cygnus...? Alliance...?" Lia repeated her, confused. "We were attacked... By..." Lia eyes widened as she remembered the reason of her being in a sick bay. "Where's Mama? Where's Lisa? Papa? Where are they?!" Lia gripped Mayuka's shoulder tightly, shaking her.

"C-calm down!" Mayuka tried to calm the panicking girl.

"Who is Lisa?" Hina asked gently, taking a step towards her.

"She... She is my sister! We are supposed to escape together! Where is she?!" Lia cried, tear threatening to fall from her magenta coloured eyes.

"Dio, did you see anyone with her when you rescued her?" Lee asked the blonde-haired male who is leaning on the wall beside the door.

Dio bit the insides of his cheeks, not wanting to reveal to them that this girl, was almost. Almost, raped. "No. She was lying unconscious on the ground alone when i found her."

Lia's lips quivered, her hands covered her mouth as tears fell. She lost everyone. Mama. Papa. Even Lisa, who she promised her mother that she will protect. Hina looked at the injured girl sadly, then hugged her.

"I'm sorry..." Lia sobbed into the raven-haired girl's uniform.

...

Lia buried her head in the pillow, still depressed over the fact that her sister and family are gone. Gone. Almost everyone in the room left, requested by Hina. So only Hina and Aoba was left in the room. Hina took hold of Lia's hand softly, and smiled. "My name is Yumihara Hina. And this is Watase Aoba." Aoba smiled. " We're both pilots in Cygnus. What is your name?"

Lia's swollen eyes looked at Hina, then to Aoba and back to Hina. "Lia... Lia Pearsons. "

"Lia, you can trust us. We are here to help you." Hina rubbed her thumb in Lia's palm as a form of reassurance.

Lia sniffed a few times, then look sadly up to Hina. " Zogilia. They attacked my homeland. Killed anyone who protested. My parents sacrificed themselves just so that me and my sister can escape... But Lisa..." Tears started to form in her eyes again.

"Hey Hina, didn't the Alliance sent us the names of the bodies found? If her sister's name is not there... then there might be a chance she's still alive." Lia's eyes widened at the words.

"You're right. Let's go ask." Hina was about to turn and leave until,"Take me with you!" Lia pulled the sleeve of her uniform, giving her a pleading look. "Please."

"...Aoba, take the wheelchair."

...

"Mayuka-chan, may i check the death list that the Alliance sent just awhile ago?" Aoba entered the room, immediately asking. Hina was slowly following behind, pushing a wheel chaired Lia.

"O-okay. Give me a second." Mayuka typed something on the computer, then a list of names appeared. "Here."

"Let's see... Lisa Pearsons, Lisa Pearsons..." Aoba's eyes suddenly brightened and he smiled widely. "There's no Lisa Pearsons!" He turned to Lia, assuring her.

"Really?!" Lia's face brightened. Hina then went beside him.

"Let me double check." She scrolled down the page. "Yes... There's no Lisa Pearsons." She smiled.

"That means..." Mayuka got the hint.

"Your sister is most probably alive!" Aoba exclaimed.

Lia never felt so relieve, knowing that her sister might still be out there somewhere, alive. "I... I need to find her." She looked up to them.

Suddenly, the Commander walked in, with Dio and the Lieutenant commander behind him. "Ah, you are the girl..." he walked towards her smiling. "Since you are already here, We will be sending you to the recuperate center in Hawaii. You are a civilian after all, staying here is too dangerous."

Lia stared at him unbelievably. This is the only chance that she can use to find her sister. Staying at a recuperate center won't help! "B-but i need to stay here... I want to find my sister..." She looked down at her lap, fiddling with her pyjamas pants.

"Hmm... this is troublesome..." The commander rubbed his chin, as if thinking of a solution.

"Why not let her be a coupler?" Aoba asked, carefreely.

"Wha-! Aoba coupling is not just anyone can do!" Dio retorted.

"But I was like that too! I-"

"That would be a good idea." The commander suddenly agreed, shocking everyone. "Elvira-san, can you run a test on the girl's compatibility with Yumihara-san? If it's compatible, we can have another pair of couple, she can also gain her skills through coupling, and the newly built coupling valiancer have no owner yet."

"Y-yes, i can try i out..." Elvira answered.

"Then please." The commander then turned to Lia. " Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I-" She then thought that if she have her own valiancer, she can find her sister easier. And she can also fight against the wretched Zogilia Republic. "Yes, I want it."

She was ready.

...

Lying beside her was Hina, and a weird machine she've never seen before are scanning both of them. Outside the scanning room, everyone was shocked. The girl, who have no trainings whatsoever, is 90% compatible with Hina.

"That's even higher than the time when Dio and Aoba first got a 'nice coupling'" Elvira said.

"So they are able to couple, right?"

"Yes.."

Dio sighed. He didn't expect things to turn out like that. He was too tired to think, thus returned to his room and plopped down on his bed. The only thing that occurred in his mind was the disgusting scene. It seems like the brown-haired girl forgotten about the incident, which is better for her.

What will happen if she recall it?

Second chapter and i sucked so bad already. I promise the future chapters will be better.
