Flashback:

Somewhere in Rubicon, in the middle of the desert, both Yutaro's AC and Rusty's AC can be seen standing next to each other as both pilot's can be seen sitting on a rock bellow their AC's.

Rusty was in the middle of eating some noodles when he noticed Yutaro was looking at a necklaces that was wrapped around his neck, he noticed how sad he looked and almost looked regretful as well.

Rusty: 'That bad huh? Though i expected it since he killed almost a million people, but i guess he can't help himself since he was forced to fight in the war at a young age.' He thought looking at his buddy with a sympathetic look.

Both pilot's stayed silent for a few minutes before Rusty decided to break the silence by asking.

Rusty: "Say, buddy."

Yutaro: "Hmm?"

Rusty: "I've known you for a while now. The way you fight." He started as he looks down on the sandy floor. "You're not afraid to die. Makes me wonder. Don't you hold anything dear enough to hold onto for it?"

Yutaro: "..........." He looks down with a conflicted look on his face.

-----------------------------------------------------

In a dark room inside the chopper that Yutaro and Handler Walter use to travel across Rubicon.

Handler Walter: "V.IV, you probably know it by now but.....621's got a lot of people from earth trying to get him." He said through the coms as he looks at the screen infront of him. "You heard about the massacre of Cradle-03, and by that alone is the soul reason why he's here."

Rusty: "Yeah. I'm well aware." He said his voice sounding serious knowing how many people Yutaro had murdered.

-----------------------------------------------------

Rusty: "I have thing's that are dear to me. And for that reason I can't die. I won't die. And I trust you'll find something to dear too." He said sympatheticly with a smile as he hand's Yutaro can of Coca Cola.

Yutaro smiles back as he accepts the drink.

Rusty: "You'll see a peaceful Rubicon one day, despite everything, it's still a beautiful planet." He stated looking up at the sky with Yutaro doing the same.

Yutaro: "Yeah....it is." He said almost seeing what Rusty trying to was say.

Rusty: "You don't talk much. I like that about you." He said which got Yutaro to scoff at him but smile's back nonetheless. "Good job today, buddy."

Both pilot's stayed there for another few minutes as the camera slowly pan's up to the sky's of Rubicon.

"We'll get through this, together."
