"All are light. If you cannot let the situation go, then the trauma you faced will continue to haunt you." Oeuyia stated compassionately.

"But I... I just can't. And I don't know how Calem feels about it these days, but I don't think he's let go of it because of how he advert's his eyes whenever it's mentioned, and I doubt our three other friends have gotten over it either." She said. At some point, the soldier hung up, annoyed that a little girl would call a military ship to ramble on about anime.

"Then you will be trapped, and will not be able to heal. Do you want to live your life like that?" Oeuyia asked.

"I've spent the last three years like this, so I'm fine. I just want Calem to be okay, he's seen more horrible things down there than I have. And he just refuses to talk about it. Truthfully, I want all five of us to be okay." She seemed really sad.

"You say you are fine, but your true self needs to heal. I can help, if you will let me." Oeuyia continued.

"My.. true self? What do you mean by that? I am who I am." Laura looked utterly confused, but still really sad.

"But who are you? Do you define yourself based on your name, your mind, your ego, your personality, your perspectives, or any sort of identity? Those identities are not you." Oeuyia continued in the same soft voice.

Let's see.. My name is Laura Evone, I'm the Kalos Leauge Champion, 'that one girl that took down Team Flare', and Calem Johanssen's girlfriend. That's pretty much it." She sighed. "Oh, and I'm a klutz!"

Suddenly, a portal appeared in the floor, and out of it climbed a shadowy figure, being slow and careful as to not be seen.

Its face was dreadful and unusually melancholy, and as it walked it walked as if weighted by something.

It saw that Oeuyia and Laura were talking, and so leaned there, watching. Its eyes were gleaming, staring but saying nothing.

"But that is not you. Those are just labels, made by sounds." Oeuyia continued, utterly calm. Jian and Aelkai were watching closely while Ia wasn't paying any attention.

"But sounds are the way we communicate back home. How do you know who you are without... Ohhh my Arceus, that's a Heartless! Why don't I have a Keyblade?" Laura shrieked.

[Lilli, were you going to do something with this shadowy creature or can Jian and co purify it?]

"Hehe, hey it's only me," Kiki said. They stepped into the light so they could be seen.

Though they were laughing their voice was more... ragged than usual.
"You're pretty sharp. How's it goin'?" they asked everyone, giving a friendly smile. Their eyes smiled, but their hands hid something behind their back.

Laura gasped. "Kiki!" Laura cheered, happy to see them. Calem seemed suspicious, looking up from the computer and noticing how their hands were tucked behind their back. He flew up next to Laura.

Guinan fumbled around for a couple of minutes, trying to strap herself to the chair. She looked at Mike, confused. "So I didn't close the hanger doors then? Oh wait, I'm supposed to open them, right?" She shook her head as if to clear it and tried to put her physical needs out of her mind as she turned back to the console. "Oh wait, here they are!" and she opened the hanger bay doors at last.

The ship jerks to one side as the air escapes the hangar which scares the last of the crew into escaping. Mike gets the ship rotating again so that there is gravity and then he suggests to Mason, "How about I attempt to ram them? I will try to make sure the bridge doesn't get damaged, and it will effect them more then it will effect us. They will either take a lot of damage or focus on evading us." Mason replies "Sounds like it could work well, as long as you are careful not to kill us all. It sure will be distracting." Meanwhile the enemy carrier begins shooting at the FSS Damocles and distant banging sounds can be heard as projectiles hit their target.

A message is sent back from the USS Hercules saying "Preparing to dock with Nexus station. Good luck going up against that carrier, capital ships are very hard to fly so you'll need it."

Mike was enthusiasticly preparing for his first flight into space. He had finished his flight training because he insisted on flying the mission himself. As he approached the spaceplane on the runway all he could think about was how fun it will be to float in zero G. He gets in the plane and goes through the takeoff checklist, and after that he activates the atmospheric engines causing the plane to begin moving down the runway.

Suddenly there is a very loud bang behind Mike and the cockpit is blasted forward by an explosion, flying forward violently and bouncing across the runway after breaking off of the spaceplane. Mike looses consciousness.

The next day, Mike wakes up in a hospital room and asks "Huh? Where am I? What happened?" and the nurse replies "You are in the hospital." He tries to sit up but something is wrong, he looks at his left arm to find that it was gone from below the elbow and wrapped in bandages. Oh no... Nonononono, I'm missing an arm. He quickly checks to make sure the rest of him is present and accounted for, and is relieved to find the rest of himself in tact. "What happened? Why am I missing an arm?" he asks, to which the nurse replies "Your spaceplane exploded on takeoff, best anyone can figure it was sabotaged. You are lucky to be alive." Mike thinks about it and decides to get the MegaWatt R&D department working on prosthetic limbs and implants. It will help a lot of people, myself included.
