[frm Hater's current mothership position, it took two days to finally reach Planet Skeletor, evn with warp jump. Soon the planet was in sight]
Hater: (thinks; there it is...no turning back now...)
[the ship soon slowly landed dwn at the airport, where there was a family escort waiting for him]
Hater: (stepped out from his ship)
Escort: Hello, Master Hater. Lord Grimm has detected ur ship's presence n has sent us to escort u
Hater: Okay. (nod)
Escort: [brings in the limo n escorted Hater into the vehicle]
Hater: (climbs inside)
[they soon drove off for abt 20mins before finally arriving to the family palace]
Hater: (sees it up ahead)
[Grimm n Loathe were waiting at the palace front door]
Grimm: (wave)
Hater: (wave) (thinks; they have to know eventually...)
[the limo soon parked at the front door n the Skeletor siblings opened the limo door to greet him]
Grimm: [gave Hater a bear hug] Bro~~ Long time no see! :D
Hater: >< Oof, choking, not breathing.
Grimm: [lets go of him] Ahahaha, sorry
Loathe: How're u doing, bro?
Hater: Sort of okay... Where's Dad?
Grimm: He's with his advisors right now finalizing some stuff. C'mon, come inside! Let's catch up!
Hater: :) Sure... (followed them)
[the trio made their way to the family lounge where there was snacks n drinks all set]
Grimm: Hv a seat, take a load off. U must be tired from the journey
Hater: (nod) (took a seat and a few snacks, thankful the needle helped with his tasting)
Grimm: So how's life as a Conqueror been treating u? Is little Pee-Pee still having a stick up his arse? :D
Hater: (giggle) You could say he does. And wasn't easy taking over planets without a certain furball getting in my way. >_>
Loathe: Furball? Is he a rival Conqueror or something?
Hater: |-( No, his name is Wander. He just travels around with his dumb friend Sylvia trying to help folks.
Grimm: Sounds like a nice guy. Maybe it's a sign that u should quit n come take the throne off me (giggle)
Hater: >_< Nuh uh! And...I can't even take over the trhone even if I wanted to...
Grimm: Why? Is it bcoz of tht thing u said u wanna discuss with us?
Loathe: Wait, before u say anything, I think it's best if we told u first abt Mom
Hater: I've heard from Grimm she might've ran off with someone. But what I need to say here--
Grimm: Not just someone, bro. It's Jeeves the butler n the twin maids Axe n Axel! Can u believe it? She's been having a foursome with them in secret! N now she's got the gall to ask for half the fortune as severance pay, n that's after she eloped with those three ingrates for a mth!
Hater: (groaned frustrated and stood up) (angry) I CAN'T DO THAT SORT OF STUFF CAUSE I'VE GOT CANCER!
Grimm: :O ..... [was shocked speechless]
Loathe: :O ..... [was also speechless]
??: [voice coming from the lounge entrance] Wat did u say?
Hater: O_O ... (turned to see who it was)
Fury: [was standing at the lounge entrance, looking pale from Hater's outburst]
Loathe: D-Dad! How long were u standing there?
Hater: ...Dad...I... (worry)
Fury: [comes to Hater quickly n put his hands on Hater's shoulders] Pls... Tell me u didn't get the Muertes Bifida...
Grimm: Muerta-what?
Fury: Muertes Bifida. It's a hereditary magic bone cancer. Pls, pls tell me ur joking, son...
Hater: ... No...it's true... :( And I'm going through phase 1 right now...everything tasting bitter to me... ;(
Fury: [his body started shaking then he hugged Hater close] Oh gob... Oh gob... Not u... I was dreading this for our family.... ;(
Loathe: U... Ur having cancer...? It... It can't be... ;(
Grimm: Is there any cure? (worry)
Hater: (hugged Fury) I don't know... I don't know if there is... ;( I'm scared... I don't...
Fury: [shook his head sadly] There is no cure. It's genetics n it's hereditary... It happens to at least one child each generation... It took ur grandmother away, n it took my eldest sister away... I prayed n prayed that none of u would get it n I was so relieved wen all three of u didn't get any symptoms... Bt now...
Grimm: Oh grob... :(
Hater: ;( I'm sorry, Dad...I didn't know I would... (hugged him tight)
Fury: No, it's my fault... I didn't think I needed to warn u since all of u didn't show any symptoms... I should've told u a long time ago... It's my fault u all weren't prepared for this...
Loathe: Oh gob... First Mom, now Hater... Can things get any worse....? ;(
Hater: :( ...Does this...easily get spread around if I was with other people...?
Fury: No, like I said, it's hereditary. It's not contagious. Bt u might endanger ppl during ur Stage 2, coz of the power haywire
Hater: That's what I'm afraid of...
Fury: U will need to wear a special suit wen tht happens, so tht u don't accidentally zap or burn anyone. Ur grandma n aunt had to wear it during tht stage. I think we still keep it in the family heirloom room
Hater: O...okay...
Fury: [sighed] This makes my divorce with ur Mom pale in comparison. She can hv all the fortune if she wants, I don't even care anymore
Grimm: Dad, u can't! She betrayed n cheated on u! She has no right to ask for severance pay after wat she done to our family!
Hater: So...Mom really did leave you...?
Fury: [sighed] Yes. She got tired of the royal life n wanted to set her wings free, as she puts it
Grimm: Pfft, more like married life in general -_-**
Hater: I see...
Fury: Maybe it's my fault too... I nvr reli told her the truth abt my feelings for her...
Loathe: Wat do u mean?
Fury: I was nvr reli into her. Our marriage were pretty much arranged, like most royal families do. Well, I mean, I do love her, bt... Not the way most ppl think. She's like a younger sister to me, n wen we got engaged, I thought I could learn to love her, like love-love her, bt in the end, after 3 kids later, the feelings was still the same
Hater: Dad...you think you'll ever find someone else?
Fury: [sighed] Not anytime soon, since we just finalize the divorce. Bt maybe wen this blows over I might. I nvr told anyone, not even my parents, bt... I'm actually interested in men
Loathe: U? High n mighty Lord Fury the Fearless into dudes? :O
Grimm: Wow... That's... The surprise of the century... :O
Hater: :O ... Wait, wait, wait... you've had us with Mom...but this whole time, you were...??
Fury: ^^;; Eheh, ikr? I did it with her bcoz she said she wanted kids, n tht its to secure the royal bloodline. I did enjoy it wen we did it, bt not as much as I would like. It doesn't mean I love u guys any less. U three r the best things tht evr happened to me in my married life
Grimm: OK, a little TMI, bt I'm glad to hear tht
Loathe: So, wat? Does tht mean u imagined Mom as a dude wen u guys r doing the do? (smirk)
Grimm: Loathe!! TMI!! >_<'''
Hater: XD (thinks something to himself) (think)
Loathe: [rolled her eyes in amusement] Geez, ur such a virgin, Grimm
Grimm: Thank u vry much [was being sarcastic, then turned to Hater] U knw wat this means, don't u, bro?
Hater: Huh?
Grimm: U can no longer be a Conqueror either, not for long anyways
Loathe: Prolly evn time to retire, maybe do something tht u reli wanna do bt can't coz of wat ur doing now
Fury: Ur siblings r right, son. There may not be a cure, bt it doesn't hv to end tragically. U can find something else to do, maybe evn do something good for someone, or urself
Hater: I...guess... I don't know how Peepers will handle that though, he's pretty much a workaholic.
Grimm: Ur just gonna hv to be tough with him n tell him so. Ur the boss aftr all
Loathe: Wait, does Peeps evn knw?
Hater: ^^;; About that...
Fury: U didn't tell him? I thought u two told each other everything, tht u two were so close
Hater: How exactly am I supposed to tell him about this? 'Oh I'm gonna die and that'll mean no more taking over planets for the rest of whatever life I have left'.
Grimm: Good point on tht
Loathe: Well, at least come up with a good excuse why ur gonna quit, something tht he might accept
Hater: Like what?
Loathe: [shrugged] I dunno, bt u'll come up with something
Grimm: Geez, ur a load of help
Fury: Just take ur time to think up of a reason, if u don't feel like telling Peepers the truth. Bt u can't hide frm him forevr, especially wen Stage 2 n 3 starts kicking in
Hater: True...
Fury: In the meantime, why don't u stay here for a while? Maybe for at least a few weeks, just enough time to clear ur head
Hater: Well... Okay. I'll just have to inform Peepers about it.
Fury: (nod) Feel free to use our extranet communicator. I'll get the help to set up ur room
Loathe: N I'll get the help to prepare dinner
Grimm: I'll just supervise the help to bring ur luggage
Hater: :) ... ;(
Fury: [sees him in tears n hugs him] It's gonna be OK, son... We're here for u...
Grimm&Loathe: :( [comes in for the group hug]
Hater: (hugs them close) ;( ...
[Hater's room was soon set up n he was officially moved in. Fury provided him the extranet communicator in his room so he could contact Peepers in private]
Hater: (waiting for Peepers to respond)
Peepers: [answers the call, his face showing up on the vid screen] Good evening, sir! How's things at home?
Hater: Fine, just fine... And if it's okay with you, I'm gonna...be here for a few days.
Peepers: I understand. U need to catch up with ur family, right? How long has it been since u last seen each other anyways?
Hater: Quite a long time. (looked away) And Peepers? Not that this anything to consider right now, but...
Peepers: [tilted his head] But...? :|
Hater: You ever... I dunno, considered doing something else other then taking over planets? A slow steady life perhaps? I know you do like working a lot, but yeah...
Peepers: [a short pause] Sir... R u saying u want to... retire?
Hater: ^^;; Um...possibly?
Peepers: [another short pause] ...Why the sudden notion? :|
Hater: Maybe...cause...conquering will start getting boring eventually? :D
Peepers: Sir, it was ur dream to become a Conqueror. U told me u didn't want to go dwn the family business road to take ovr the throne bcoz ruling one planet is not enough. U wanted to rule the world. N now u say its getting boring for u? Wat's going on here? [gives him a suspicious look]
Hater: Um... (turns away) What was that, dad? :D Sorry, C Peeps, gotta go. I'll be back in a few days. (wave) (signed off)
Peepers: Sir, u-- [gets cut off]
Hater: (sighed heavily) (facepalm)
*knock knock knock*
Hater: Yes?
Loathe: Its me, just wanna let u knw tht dinner is ready
Hater: (nod) Okay.
