Short Overview:
Kaitou Ace revealed to Sailor V his past life as Adonis. He was a miserable soldier with no rank in a remote region of her planet, Venus. He was borrowed to become one of Endymion's soldiers to fight in the war. It was then that he was able to meet Venus. He recalled watching Venus stare into Kunzite's eyes and told her that she was always falling in love, even back then. It seemed that he did not have a chance with her back then, but he was reborn and this time able to approach her, as Kaitou Ace.
