"Speak." A dog presses Finn against his spaceship as soon as he got out of it.

"Check the papers, all I know is that I'm called Finn Mertens, no more, no less." Finn explained, pressed against the spaceship by the dog as dog soldiers were sent to search his ship.

"Nothing, Captain Jake." The soldier shouted out, passing the papers they found which contain no more than Finn had mentioned.

"Hmm… you win for now. You should meet our commanders." Jake released him, Finn turned around, and sees Jake stretching his arm back in place. He was wearing a pilot's uniform like the other pilots in the dog air force, the only difference is that he had medals decorated on his uniform. "Ace." Finn noticed one of the medals and Jake caught onto it.

"This? Oh yeah, this was a long time ago. Just take out five enemy ships, fighters or capital. I took out five fighters, and you are officially an Ace. You did well in the field, you took down one capital, which we thought would be impossible until now." Jake pats his back, dragging him to somewhere.

"Guerilla Warfare?" Finn suddenly exclaimed, his mind telling him to say the words.

"Yes, I guess so. In space, instead of the jungles." Jake shrugged, soldiers tagging along.

"I need some help. I need to get back to Earth. I lost my memory." Finn Mertens pleaded.

"Sorry Finn, but we need your help. Before any help can be given, we have to win the war against the rainicorns. It's interesting you know, to forget all of your past and have a new beginning. Talk to our leader, he forces me to address him that way, he is the one making the decisions around here." Jake replied, finally reaching upon a door flanked by two guards with laser rifles.

"Captain Jake! I see you brought the exceptional pilot with his exceptional ship." One of the two guards remarked.

"No need for salutations fellow comrade. We're all in this together." Jake humbly acknowledged, nodding. The door opened, and Finn was escorted in with Jake and the fellow soldiers.

"So dad, here he is, Finn." Jake replied. Finn could not see clearly, the darkness of the room hindering his sight.

"How many times have I told you to address me by my title Jake? Now let's get to business, turn on the lights. I love leaving the lights off to my fellow guest, makes them nervous and respect you know." The voice replied, and Finn noticed the soldiers around him shaking their legs.

"I'm Finn Mertens, and you are?" Finn shouted out, just as the light turned on. A dog wearing a fedora sat before him, with generals and admirals flanking him, plans scribbled all over the table.

"That's all you're going to introduce? Anything else, home, family and siblings? None?" Joshua replied suspiciously.

"He lost his memory dad." Jake replied, the generals and admirals, studying their new visitor. Finn felt nervous being gazed upon and studied like a specimen.

"And you believe him like that? Seriously, we have agents planted in us all the time. How we know whether this is a ploy or not?" Joshua rebutted, reaching for a laser sniper and pointing it at him.

"What the hell dad? Aren't you getting too paranoid, he took out a capital ship dad! A capital ship!" Jake defended.

"Hmm… I guess you're right, a capital ship is precious. The rainicorns would not risk it this greatly, or they will." Joshua finished, firing a sniper round. Finn closed his eyes, expecting the blast to take him away, ending his life. He was nobody, just as he appeared, and that is how he shall disappear.

No pain was felt, "I guess this is how death is?" Finn thought. Standing, breathing. "Wait, if I'm alive, how can I still breathe?" Finn opens his eyes and notices Joshua putting his rifle aside.

"You're no agent, if you were. You would retaliate when I fired that round. I guess you're good, let Captain Jake handle your training and missions. And one more thing Captain Jake, you shall address me as Commander." Joshua sternly demanded.

"Yes commander." Jake bowed and they left.

"Now where were we? Oh yes, we should utilise the new ship our visitor has brought to us. It is technologically superior, something we have never seen before. It is similar to a human ship, wonders and marvels has been described by other visitors. Is the contribution the superior human race has sent to aid us in this civil war?" Joshua remarked.

"Probably not, seems like it was by chance." A dog generally remarked.

"Yes, probably, let's utilise this new ship. Send the air force for bombing missions. The rainicorns should be panicking with this new development." Joshua suggested and all of the officials nodded in agreement, finally a sign, a chance, that they may win this long going civil war.

"So, it's you and me now? Well, let's talk about one another. Tell me what you know, because you're going to be with us for now." Jake suggested.

"Well, I woke up on a planet one day. I did not remember anything, just found a ship and stuff. Fix the ship and flew here noticing the explosions, that's the short story." Finn explained.

"Well, mine's a longer one. You want to hear it Finn?" Jake said, with sorrow and pain hinting in his voice.

"Sure." Finn replied, curious.

"I was a normal dog. Born before the war, the war started when I was thirty. Had a wife, a rainicorn, a rare occurrence. We loved each other dearly, until I got conscripted. We were separated by this war, unless this war ends, we will forever be separated. She even has my kids! I wonder how they are living. They will definitely be discriminated!" Jake started slowly but surely, and broke down.

"Wow… What's your wife's name?" Finn asked, to calm the crying Jake.

"She's called Lady Rainicorn. And I will find her and make thing all right!" Jake determinedly declared, stopping his crying. He wiped his tears off his face and looked at Finn, to see his response.

"I will help you, as you said. We are all in this together." Finn remarked.

"Thank you comrade." Jake genuinely thanked.

"No, thank you. Without you, my head will be blown off." Finn ended the conversation and they both laughed.

"Ok pilots, bombing mission. Welcome a new member to our squad, Finn Mertens. Let's do this!" Jake remarked, taking off from the air base with his squadron. Finn tagged along, at the rear end of the formation, his ship was refueled and restocked by the crew at the ground. He took with his thrusters, heading upwards, unbound by the laws due to technology. The other pilots had to speed forward and slowly lift themselves up, getting into the air before being able to have full control of the ships.

"Target in sight. Let's blow them to smithereens before their fighter intercept us." Jake commanded, and the crafts fly past the target, an air base, firing at the planes, dropping their bombs at the same time. Finn used his missiles, rarely used in the dog's fleet, taking out the anti-aircraft guns, not expecting an attach this audacious by the dogs. The rainicorns scrambled, getting into their craft, which were more technologically superior, taking off like Finn's spacecraft, but Finn did not even give them a chance. Immobilizing the crafts before they even flew at an attitude where they could face them. Some succeeded, but were blown to bits by the fighters, expecting their attack. Eventually the rainicorns gave up intercepting them and focused on using the remaining anti-aircraft guns that were still usable. By the time they brought out their weaponry, the squadron has already escaped.

"Good job dogs! And Finn!" Jake congratulated and they made back to base. Finn observed the ground, finally taking a breather from his mission. The ground was pink in colour, crystals sprouting from the ground. The rainicorns were still living peacefully, having the distinct advantage and lower mortality rate, they did not mobilise most of their population, not even conscripting, only taking volunteers. Meanwhile, the dogs had to conscript their dogs, even sometimes scraping the barrel, letting dogs as young as thirteen to fight for the cause. Finn kicked back, letting the Artificial Intelligence to plot his course back to base.

Two years have passed, Finn never felt older, space is slowing his aging process. He frequently spends his time in space, bombing or taking out enemy ships, taking on space superiority missions, usually by himself. His craft was so feared among the rainicorns that they started conscripting rainicorns, to replace the countless of rainicorns that were slain by his weaponry. The missiles blowing up their ships, destroying their army bases, air bases and naval bases. Taking out tanks, planes, spacecraft, submarines, Finn had become the hero the dogs needed. The dogs were very grateful to the human race for sending one of them to help out in the war, which have shifted from being disadvantaged to a stalemate. Finally, the officials had planned a strategy that would finally break the stalemate, to seize the rainicorn's capital to finally end the long and costly war. They had to be fast, and needed to utilise everything they had, arms force, air force, naval force and space force. They planned to concentrate these forces into one point, the stalemate allowing the military to build up and stockpile, finally allowing the attack to happen. Finn flew with squadrons of pilots, intended on softening the enemy, the engaging the spacecraft coming to intercept them. At that moment the tanks and the infantry shall charge at one point seizing the territory and breaking their lines, heading straight for the capital, and the air force will protect them. Bombing the tanks and vehicles that the rainicorns might send and destroying the ships that the rainicorn might send. The plan all relies on one person, Finn Mertens. He pulled some levers, confident in the mission's accomplishment. He had been fighting in this war for so long, how long has it been? Months? Weeks? Days? Years? He did not have answers to all these questions, but he knew one thing, he could finally move on, once the war ends. "Ok dogs!" Jake called out, everyone treating Finn as one of them now. "This is it dogs. If we fail, we shall lose everything, I want you all to fight with all your might. This shall decide our fate, whether we shall fall or rise to grace! Let's do it comrades, for victory!" Jake declared, giving a rousing speech. They dived, Finn feeling the effects of G-Force, all hell broke loose. Rainicorn Infantry went scattering, seeing a barrage of ships at their doorstep, firing bursts of laser that they had no defence for. They have not even had a chance to fire their RPGs, Finn fired and climbed, excepting for the rainicorn's fleet to fly over. He steadies his grip on the levers and prepared himself to press the button.
