The captain stared out across what remained of Tomoeda, he learned about the cities name after there ship landed just 6 kilometers from the center of town, which was nothing more than a crater now.
"If not for the attacks, I'd say this would be a perfect view, of a beautiful city." He said as he stood there watching out
The Pangalactic Federation had responded faster than he thought, already medical frigates and aid transports had arrived in system; the Federation had also set up a sort of blockade around the planet to defend it in case the enemy returned. Japan wasn't the only city to sustain a lot of casualties
When his recon flight returned he thought they where all high on something, but when he checked it out himself he found out they where very much right. Germany, England, France, Italy, Iran, Iraq, and several other countries had been completely blown away. America, and Canada where also gone; leaving only Alaskia and South America remaining. Although South America was relatively untouched
He wasn't feeling very good, roughly half a billion people where killed. He felt if they had arrived sooner more would've made it. But, that wasn't what was on his mind
"Japan...." he said to himself on several occasions. "How is it that Japan resides here... and Japan resides on the Federation Home world." He pondered that question for several minutes, finally not coming up with an answer
"Sir?"
The captain turned around and looked at the officer who spoke to him. "We found the person who casted that barrier, but she's unconscious and in critical condition, request permission to bring her aboard one of the medical frigates."
He thought about that for a second then nodded. "Take her aboard then." he said as he folder his arms and looked over.
----4 hours before the Federation Landed on the planet *IE, FLASHBACK*----
[/b]
Sakura stared toward the sky and continued to pump her magic into the shield card, but as time went on she felt herself growing ever weaker with each passing second. "What....." she snarled as she fell to one knee as her magic grew weaker. It wasn't until the barrier shattered when she felt it, and fell to the ground. Blood came from her ear and she barely got herself to her feet
The ground shook violently and Sakura fell back again, banging her hand up against the ground and knocking her out
She was found roughly an hour before the Federation landed by her friends, Tomoyo, Syaoran, Rika and Chahiru. They wanted to move her but Syaoran wasn't in agreement with the idea, Rika went to get one of the doctors and soon returned with not just one, but three medics’, who checked her over and found that if they did move her, she would die.
It wasn't until the Federation ship landed did they feel she could probably be moved without much difficulty. The ship's doctors had been assigned to different parts of the city, lucky two where assigned to the school where many of the students where either injured, or worse.
----Present----
[/b]
Syaoran went with Sakura as they boarded a shuttle. "Will she be alright?" Syaoran asked one of the doctors. The doctor stayed silent, not sure what to say to him, and stayed silent for the whole trip to the frigate. Not surprisingly, a young man, Yukito, went with them to the frigate
The doctors on board did several scan's to figure out what had happened. She had a blown out lung, and was bleeding in the brain, at first the doctors felt she wouldn't survive, but something was indeed keeping her alive and they didn't know what it was
----Back on the planet----
[/b]
The captain had just got off the comm. with his superiors, apparently other instances of different worlds had appeared around the universe, other earths, other planets, it was almost as if a merge was occurring
There ships where spread thin as is, thanks to the war that occurred several months ago. Over the past few weeks they had strange appearances of those ships, it wasn’t until this planet appeared did those ships commence there attacks. This earth wasn’t the only planet attacked, three others Earths had appeared, but out of the four, only this one managed to make it out in one piece, but not without casualties
He took a shuttle down to the center of the city and surveyed the damage. Just as he had expected, there was nothing left except for the top parts of the buildings that had managed to escape the massive beam that pierced the sky and blown the hole
There was more damage that could be seen, apparently an underground subway system had been developed in this town, but due to the attack it was collapsed and apparently a train was going through the center at the time. No doubt they would have to search it as well, his main concern however was how the enemy targeted educational and military facilities, it was unheard of before in war, most of the time an enemy would target a military facility only and leave the civilian population alone. He couldn’t help but think about it, something was missing from his puzzle
He decided to return to there ship, the Emperor of Japan was thankful for the federation’s assistance and asked them to stay, although under normal circumstances the UPC was often sought after; and in this case, this world was in pre-warp state. “How’s are the doctor’s doing?” he asked his communications officer
The officer turned in her chair and looked at her commanding officer. “They’ve found several other people buried, some under the school, others found in area’s that apparently became weak during the attack and collapsed.”
“Sir, the president wants to talk to you.” Another officer said
He nodded and took the call. The president, or rather, the Emperor, was interested in some information about what they planned on doing. Naturally they where going to stay there and help the wounded and dieing, perhaps even save a few people. It was the next question that had him thinking
“We don’t have any educational facilities left in the country, so we can’t teach our children. Is… it possible for you to lend a hand?” The president asked
The captain thought about it. “I might be able to.” He said to the president and asked him to wait. He got on another line and sent in a request to his superiors, which was answer in under an hour. Masser V was one of the planets colonized by the Federation and had most of it’s education facilities, after some time they authorized it’s use as a temporary planet for the children and families of Japan
Several transport vessels arrived and helped ferry people from the planet to Masser V. Tomoyo and Syaoran was on the same transport, but apparently Sakura wasn’t there. “I wonder where Sakura-chan is?” she asked herself while looking around
Syaoran was equally as concerned; finally after some waiting Sakura entered the room they where in, she was in a wheel chair which was something Tomoyo never thought she’d see Sakura in. “Sakura-chan!”
“Ohio, Tomoyo-chan.” Sakura said rather sheepishly. “Sorry to worry you, but the doctors here wanted to make sure I was ok.”
Touya entered that room, along with Fujitaka, Sakura’s father, the two of them sat down on a near by sofa. “How are you feeling today?” Touya asked
Sakura smiled. “I’m feeling fine thanks.” She turned the chair and wheeled herself toward a view port. The stars flew by as the ship they where on had entered gravitic warp and flew toward Masser V. “Never thought I’d see the stars this up close.” Tomoyo said as she stood next to Sakura and looked out
Elsewhere on the ship a doctor was checking another type of scan he did on Sakura. “Interesting… her magical properties are off the scale.” He said and turned toward the view port and smiled
They where in warp for about two days before finally arriving at Masser V. The transport landed at one of the many spaceports and disembarked it’s passengers, apparently the Federation felt the people needed a familiar sight in order to stay in high spirits, so the federations construction branch had completely recreated Tomoeda and several surrounding cities, although it wasn’t completely right, it was the best the construction crew’s could do considering how beat up there city actually was.
When they got off the ship and where heading to one of the house’s that there father reserved, both Tomoyo and Syaoran noticed just how beautiful the city was. “I wonder how they managed to do all this?”
There answer came to them. “Most of the city is a hologram.” A police officer, who was actually a Federation Soldier, said. “Only the buildings are real, everything else was made holographic.”
Tomoyo didn’t understand what the officer was talking about, but nodded anyway. Later that night, when Sakura and her family where about to head to bed, they got a card in the mail from the educational department on the planet. Sakura was indeed assigned to Tomoeda Elementary, but it wasn’t that that caused her to get mad, it was her grade. “HUH?!” she said in surprise
