Narrator

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Prologue-

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Narrator- A fierce battle is raging overseas. 17 and Tsukune are flying in the midst of the fight, unaware of the damage to their planes.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- Ya still there 17?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- Still here Tsukune. This isn’t a battle… It’s a bloodbath!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- (dodges RR blast) Whoa! That was too close for comfort. I hope Barley is ok.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- I’m sure he’s fine Tsukune. We have to focus on the battle man.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- RR at 6 o’clock!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- (dodges blast) Gotcha! (shoots down RR plane) I guess 18 was right to try to stop me.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- From joining the Air Force?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- From even joining the military.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- (flies over) What a fight! They just don’t give up.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- Hey Barley.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- I think that this fight will end in a stalemate guys.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- Yeah!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- Agreed.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- How much longer do you think this dogfight will last 17?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- Yeah! How much longer?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- Who knows guys.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- We have company.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- Oh joy.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- Ready?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- Of course we are.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- Duh.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Narrator- The trio then flew towards the Red Ribbon planes. They shot down six of the planes, but more came to replace their comrades.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- How many are there?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- We are highly outnumbered. That’s for sure.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- 17! Behind you!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- Wha? (plane gets shot) I’m going down!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- They won’t stop shooting 17!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- No! 17 is defenseless!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- (feels extreme pain in his right eye) They broke through the glass and my goggles! (plane starts to rattle)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- Leave our friend alone Red Ribbon b****es!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- (shoots down a few planes) They’re still coming!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- (loses signal with Tsukune and Barley) Tsukune! Barley! Do you hear me?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- I have lost signal with 17!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- Me too!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- (plane hits water and starts to sink) I guess this is my end. I’m sorry 18. I should have listened to you. I hope Crystal doesn’t lose it when she hears about my death. (blacks out)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Narrator- Vegeta is shooting down Red Ribbon planes on his ship with his friends Randall and Cheren. Vegeta recognized 17’s plane when he saw it go down due to a dragonball that 17 painted on his plane.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- What!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Randall- Is something wrong Vegeta?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Cheren- What is it?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- 17 was shot down!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Cheren- How do you know?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Randall- Yeah. How do you know?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- 17 painted a dragonball on his plane. He told me that so I could find him in battle.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Cheren- Wow.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Randall- An Android got shot down? I find it hard to believe.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- Something is telling me that 17 is still alive.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Randall- But you said that Androids don’t have power levels Vegeta.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Cheren- How can you tell that he is alive?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- (flies off the ship toward where he saw 17’s plane hit the water) I know that you’re still alive Android! (dives underwater and swims toward 17’s wrecked plane) [Come on 17. Be alive.] (smashes on the glass to break it more and grabs the unconscious 17) [I knew it. You are alive] (swims up)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Randall- Vegeta has 17!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Cheren- Is 17 alive?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- (flies back to ship with the unconscious 17) He is alive, but barely.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Narrator- While Vegeta tries to help 17, Barley and Tsukune don’t know that 17 is alive. The Red Ribbon Army backs down and the battle ends. Tsukune and Barley are back at base and report that 17 is dead.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Lieutenant Lee- We are missing one man.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- That man is 17. His plane was shot down towards the end of the battle.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- Yes. Tsukune and I witnessed his death ourselves.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Lieutenant Lee- Shall we report his death to his family?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- Yes. His sister needs to know.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- (nods)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Lieutenant Lee- (contacts 18) Hello.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- Lieutenant, how are you and my twin?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Lieutenant Lee- I am well. I have grave news for you and your family.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- Well? What happened to 17?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Lieutenant Lee- Your brother is… dead.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- WHAT!? 17 IS DEAD!? (starts to cry)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Lieutenant Lee- Yes. There were two witnesses.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- May I speak to them? (whimpers)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Lieutenant Lee- Yes. (hands phone to Tsukune)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- Hello. I’m Tsukune.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- (sobs) Hi. Were you a witness of 17’s death?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- Yes. I saw the Red Ribbon Army shoot down his plane. He was a great friend and I grieve for him too. (hands the phone to Barley)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- I’m Barley.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- (sobs) Hi.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- I am the other witness of your brother’s death. I’m sorry for your loss 18. He will never be forgotten.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- (still crying) Ok. (hangs up)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- And she hung up.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Narrator- The Air Force, 18, and 18’s family didn’t know that Vegeta saved 17. Vegeta contacted Lieutenant Lee and told him that 17 was alive.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- (calls Lieutenant Lee) Lee!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Lieutenant Lee- Hello?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- My name is Vegeta. I’m in the Navy and 17 is currently aboard my ship.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Lieutenant Lee- 17 is alive? Two of my men witnessed his death!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- He is alive and on my ship. He is badly wounded and unconscious. I rescued him!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Lieutenant Lee- Contact his sister now. Send 17 to the Air Force base now.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- Yes Lieutenant. (hangs up and contacts 18) Hello Android.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- (still crying) What Vegeta?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- 17 is alive.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- (whimpers) He’s alive?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- Someone is sending him to the Air Force base. I found him in the remains of his plane underwater and saved him. He was badly wounded and unconscious when I found him.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- 17 is alive?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- Did you even hear me Android? He is alive!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- Thank you for saving my brother and telling me that he is alive. (hangs up)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Vegeta- Yeah.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Narrator- 17 was sent back to the Air Force base then sent to the nearest hospital. He was in critical condition and still unconscious when he arrived at the hospital. The doctors revealed to the Air Force and to 17’s family that 17 was in a coma for the final three months of the war. Now he finally wakes up to see his family and friends.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- (wakes up) Wha! Where am I?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Crystal- (hugs 17) In the hospital. I’ve missed you so much 17!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- 17, why did you even sign up for the military in the first place?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- Glad to see you too 18.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Krillin- You had us all worried 17.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- Sorry if I caused you any pain guys.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Marron- Look at your face and neck Uncle!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- Why?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Marron- You have a weird mark on your face and neck.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Crystal- Your face down to your shoulder is scarred 17.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- (runs in room) 17! You’re awake!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- Where is Barley?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- He’s comin.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Marron- You were asleep for three months Uncle.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- Don’t you ever go off again 17.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- (runs in) Hello! 17! Good to see you man.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- Who won the war?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- We did 17!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- Nice battle scar 17.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- Yeah. My vision in my right eye is very blurry and almost gone.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Krillin- That sucks.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Marron- Wow. Poor Uncle.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">17- I guess war is too much for me.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Crystal- I’m sure.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">18- Way too much

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Krillin- Everyone was worried about you.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Marron- Yeah. We were all scared.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Barley- (nods)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tsukune- The rest of the war was pure insanity when you got shot down.

The scar consisted of a line of very close bullet marks going from just above his right eyebrow, down along his face and neck, and ended at the bottom of his right shoulder. Now we start at when he signed up for the Air Force, six years earlier.
