[the journey last for at least 2 weeks, since there was galaxy hopping involved, bt finally they made it]
Peepers: I see Planet Skeletor up ahead, sir. ETA 3 mins
Hater: (fiddles with his hands)
Wander: [was with him, sitting on his lap with the litters playing at his feet] Its gonna be OK, Hatey, I'm right here
Hater: I know, I can't help it...
Wander: I'll be with u evry step of the way, Hatey [patted his fiddling hands]
Hater: (holds one of his hands gently)
Peepers: Almost there... Wait... Something doesnt seem right, sir
Hater: ? What, C Peeps?
Peepers: [pulled the camera shot n zoomed in, n it showed tht instead of an amber colour Planet Skeletor was supposed to be, it was charred black with the occasional firey red, like there was a fire n the embers r dying] Sir... [wasnt sure wat to say abt it as he looked to Hater for answers]
Hater: (jaw dropped) Wh...what...? :o
Wander: W-Wha...? Is tht ur planet, Hatey?
Peepers: It is the right coordinates bt... wat happened to it...?
Wander: U've been here before, Peeps?
Peepers: Once wen he came bk temporarily to collect some of his things he forgot at his home. Had to sneak ard so his folks wouldnt notice. Bt... its not supposed to look like this...
Hater: ... :( Get us landed, Peepers.
Peepers: Sir, yes, sir [set the course to land the ship]
Wander: [squeezed Hater's hand in hopes to reassure him]
Hater: (swallows, fearing the worse)
Sylvia: (enters) Have we...? (notices the worried looks) What's going on?
Wander: [looked at Sylvia] :( I dunno... Something's wrong with Hatey's home planet
Peepers: Sit dwn, sweet cheeks, I'm abt to land n its gonna be a bit bumpy
Sylvia: Hmm... (does so)
Hater: :( ...
[as they landed, the docks looked like a war zone. In fact, the whole plc looked like the aftermath of a war zone, with debri n small fires here n there evrywhere]
Hater: (looks around, worried)
Sylvia: ...What the grop's happened here?
Wander: Oh gob... [covered his mouth in horror]
Peepers: Stay in the ship, sweet cheeks. Ur with child now. We'll all go chk it out
Sylvia: :( ... Okay.
Peepers: U should stay too, Wander. Look aftr Sylvia for me
Wander: But...!
Hater: Wander... Just please stay put...
Peepers: Besides, it's too dangerous for u to bring the litters ard
Wander: :( OK... [went to Sylvia's side]
Sylvia: (wraps arm around the nomad)
Hater: (exits the ship with Peepers)
Peepers: [walked ahead of Hater in a defense mode, gun at the ready to protect the overlord]
Hater: :( ... (thoughts running through his head)
[as the duo continued dwn the road, they were met with more war zone aftermath scenes, including a massacre as there were skeletor bodies everywhere]
Peepers: Wat in gob's name happened here...?
Hater: Nothing good... (swallows) ... (sees something up ahead) :O
Peepers: [looks up] Wat? Wat do u see, sir?
Hater: (points shakily towards what appeared to be a burnt down mansion)
Peepers: [gasped] Oh no... U... U OK there, sir?
Hater: (bites his lower lip, walking forward before running at his fullest speed)
Peepers: W-Wait! U don't know wat dangers r up ahead! [chased after him]
Hater: (thinking: Mom... Dad...?!)
[inside the mansion, everything was in shambles, dead bodies lying everywhere, some of the area were either on fire or in ruins, all the way to the throne room, where the main family armed forces n security lay dead protecting their ruler]
Hater: ... ;(
Peepers: [caught up with him n saw the massacre] Oh gob...
Hater: ;( ... Dad...?
Peepers: [walked abt examining the bodies, then sees one of them still barely breathing] Sir! Over here! This one is still alive!
Hater: :O (hurries over)
Peepers: [pushes off the dead bodies tht piled onto him to reveal Fury, Hater's father]
Fury: [coughed weakly, his body littered with wounds n scorch marks. He may be alive, but he looked like he didn't hv much time left]
Hater: :( Dad...? Daddy...?
Fury: [coughed out blood before slowly opening his eyes] H... Hater...?
Hater: :( Yes... it's me... What happened here...?
Fury: U... U came bk...
Hater: I did, but... ;( I'm sorry, I thought you didn't want me around anymore because I was...
Fury: No... No, I'm sorry for... For shunning u... I... I didn't want u ard... At the time... I was ashamed of u... Now... Now I'm ashamed of myself... [coughed out more blood]
Hater: :( Hang in there, we can get you help, I've got the best medic team back at my ship...
Fury: No... No, it's too late... I've... Lost too much blood... I don't hv much time...
Peepers: Wat happened here, sir? Who did this to u?
Fury: [has nvr met Peepers before] Who are... [shook his head] Nvm, it doesn't matter... U must go, my son... She.... She's still here... She will kill u if she finds u...
Hater: ;( No! Not when I just found you again!
Fury: U hv to go... Pls... My time has come... I'm so sorry... For shunning u... For shutting u out... I realized now... It doesn't matter who u like... Ur supposed to be happy with the one u love... Not wat ppl say u should love... U were... Being true to urself... N I didn't see tht till now... [coughed again]
Hater: ;( Dad, please, don't do this to me!
Peepers: Who did this to u? Pls tell us, sir
Fury: The... The white... The white Star Nomad... They... They call her W... Wan... [coughed even more blood, getting paler by the minute]
Hater: (blinks) W...Wanda? Dad, was she named Wanda?
Fury: [doesn't reply, but reaches a shaky hand up to caress Hater's face] Oh my... How you've grown... My son... At least I get to see u one last time...
Hater: :( (holds hand against his face until he felt it drop) :O
Fury: [breathed his last, closing his eyes forever, tho he died with a smile on his face]
Peepers: [chk his pulse n shook his head]
Hater: ;( Dad... D-daddy... (wraps his arms around the body, sobbing heavily) No...
Peepers: [took off his helmet n bowed his head in silence]
Hater: (still sobbing, holding the body close)
[footsteps could be heard in the distance, like an army march]
Peepers: [heard it n tugged at Hater's robe] Sir, sir, we hv to go, now
Hater: (reluctantly lets go of his father's corpse and hurries back to the ship with Peepers)
[they arrived just in time bcoz there were a number of army hovercrafts coming their way]
Peepers: [ushered Hater in n quickly closed the entrance of the ship n made a dash to the navigational room to start the ship n take off]
Sylvia: (feels ship take off) We're leaving already?
Hater: (doesn't respond)
Peepers: No time to talk, sweet cheeks. I'll explain later. Right now, we need to get outta here
Wander: [held onto Hater as the ship rumbled as it took off]
Hater: (is silent, lump in his throat)
[the ship shook violently as it suddenly took a few hits frm shots fire frm whoevr were on the army hovercraft]
Wander: :O What the...?!
Peepers: Fasten ur seatbelts n hold on tight! [steers the ship skywards]
Sylvia: :O Whoa! (holds on tight)
Hater: (holds Wander close)
Wander: [stole a look out the window to see who was firing at them, then saw the insignia banner they were carrying n his face went pale; he recognized the insignia way bk wen]
