Nhiome sighed, there was not much extra damage that he had not noticed immediately except that the forward pulse cannon's traverse gear had been slightly damaged and was now stuck in its forward facing position. It was not that great a concern yet, he could repair it at the base once he fixed the ship. But first he needed to fix himself. He crawled back into the ship and started bandaging. He wondered if he would go into shock, but the was unlikely, if he was going to, he would be in shock by now.

Dalia reached the top of the wall and climbed over the ledge onto the plateu. The source of the explosion was not far. "Huh...seems like someone is having a good day..." She said in a sarcastic tone as she walked up to the crash-landed ship.

Aion nodded. "Yes...let's go" And with that they headed back to Sector 6 of Helios.

"Nope, nothing..." Terrisa said. Though she was young, she tried to hide her worried voice. "Arrow will be fine...his squadron will be fine, he always takes care of the squadron he's with..."

While John and Aion flew back to Sector 6, John relaxed in his seat and recalled the recent battle. Who was that man? How exactly did he know John's name? Did John know him? John never came across anyone by the name of Revere. Was it an alias? If there was one thing John knew, it was that Aion knew him.

"Aion, who exactly was that guy?", John calmly asked Aion.

Nhiome finished administering first aid and stood up shakily. He was limping, but at least he could stand. Struggling against the gravity, he went to the cargo area and after digging around, pulled out a large sheet of aluminium and another one of steel. He could cut them up and use the pieces to patch up the damage. He dragged them outside towards the forward area, moving slowly. Despite this, he was exhausted by the time he exited the ship due to the extra weight caused by gravity as well as his wound, Inopia was bigger than planet werban and the gravity here was stronger. He gritted his teeth and continued pulling the metal out, putting all his focus on the job.

Aion closed his eyes as he answered the question. "The man I have sworn to seek revenge upon for killing everything I had that I once called my family." He looked up straight ahead. "Revere Exorco...once he flew alongside the man I called my father. My mentor, Orion. They were a part of an elite squadron of Delta Division that also included Navarre, Ember, Spear, Dragor, and Vulpes. Phoenix Squadron."
"...Then one day Revere turned on everyone. He became the Leiutenant of the entire Noble Guardian Order, the NGO, and killed my father and sister, Tina, in one night. He left me for dead in the middle of the South Sea of the planet Dua and began a brutal campaign to end the Venturian Council."
"I swore..."
Tink....Tink....Tink....
"I swore that day..."
Tink....Tink....Tink....
"On my sister's grave..."
Tink....Tink....Tink....
"That I would end him. I would end him no matter the price. Even if I had to take down the entire NGO...If I had to take on the entire Galaxy...No matter the price I had to pay...I swore that his life will end by my hand."

"Looks like you can use some help there." Dalia was walking up to Nhiome casually. "Plus you don't seem too well off...let me guess: crashlanding, huh?"

John thought about what Aion had said. This man, Revere, was a traitor. The question was, why did he turn? Nobody just switches sides for no reason. Some do it for greed, while others have a change of heart.

"Do you know why he became a traitor?", John asked Aion.

Aion's brow furrowed as he thought about it. "Why?..." He looked at a picture of his sister. "It's more than just a simple war of Human greed..." Aion looked over to John's fighter. "That's what he keeps saying...It's...as though he knows something...knows some truth of things...but..."

"But.. what?", John asked, not really expecting to get an answer from Aion, he possibly knew little else.

"All I know is that no matter what his cause is, killing an entire squadron of rookies is not right. Luckily, next time I see him, we'll be on the ground. He'll see why Spartans are to be feared... The only thing I don't understand is how he knew my name. It's either that he knows his history very well, or that he's displaced in time.", John calmly said to Aion.

Aion answered john's initial question. "Something doesn't add up. He knows things that..." Aion stopped himself from finishing the sentence with his initial thought and went with another. "...that someone like him couldn't know. And It's more than just names, like with you. There is a rumor that he has a Vatian advisor, which would explain how he knows what out next move would be...but...still...somethings...it just doesn't add up."
Then he addressed John's second statement. "Revere has a reputation that makes him feared among foe and friend alike. Anyone that stands in his way...never live to see the rising sun ever again."

"Reputations mean little on the battlefield. More often than not, they are overblown, serving only as an ego boost for the one involved and for his team.", John said to Aion.

John knew what reputations were capable of, but he also knew that they were usually false. For instance, Spartans were said to be immortal, therefore they would always be listed as MIA, or Missing In Action.

"What is a Vatian advisor?", John finally asked.
