(meanwhile)
Sylvia: Do you think that...? :(
Peepers: I dunno, I hope not... [sees Hater n Wander entered] Hater, Wander. Wat happened? Is Janet OK?
Wander: [didnt reply, just shook his head n showed them the sprouts tht was in his arms]
Sylvia: Oh no... :O
Peepers: Oh gob, wat happened? Dont tell me its Wanda again...
Wander: [bit his lip n looked dwn sadly]
Hater: ...She's going WAY too far with this.
Wander: [closed his eyes tight n speed-walked away with the sprouts, sobbing]
Hater: (growls)
Sylvia: She needs to be taken down...
Peepers: No kidding. She's definitely gone too far. Killing someone who had totally nothing to do with their issues... [clenched his fists tight]
Sylvia: Yeah... (also clenches her fists)
Peepers: I'll come up with some tactical plans with Lord Hater. U should go see wat Wander is doing, Syl
Sylvia: (nod) Okay. (goes to check on Wander)
[following the slightly trail of dirt, it led Sylvia to one of the remote areas of the ship, into one of the rooms that looked like it hadn't been used in a while, labeled BOTANICS]
Sylvia: ...Wander, you in here?
Wander: [doesn't reply, but he could be seen going ard activating the long abandoned botanic machines n preparing a spot for the sprouts to grow]
Sylvia: (enters the room) Buddy?
Wander: [sees Sylvia] Hey, Syl. Could u help me find the biggest aquarium tank there is? U don't hv to carry it, ur pregnant, but just show me where it is [turned on more gadgets]
Sylvia: (nod) Sure.
Wander: [dug ard in one of the desks n found something tht looks like a manual, then read thru it a bit] Found it, buddy?
Sylvia: Will this do?
Wander: [looked up at it n nodded] (nod) Yeah, that'll do [look at the controls of one of the machines, n following the manual, he pressed a few buttons n soon a big mechanical claw came out n took out the aquarium tank, placing it onto the big table in the middle of the room]
Sylvia: ...She has to be taken down...
Wander: [doesn't reply as he concentrated on clicking more buttons, which activated some gadgets tht started pouring soil into the tank]
Sylvia: Did you hear me, Wander?
Wander: Hold tht thought, Syl [uses a step ladder to climb onto the table, then picks up the mound of dirt containing the sprouts n gently puts them into the tank, mixing the dirt together with the soil in the tank]
Sylvia: (sighs, watching him work)
Wander: [takes a trowel n a hand rake n gently smoothed out the soil, then took a water spray n sprayed water onto it to keep it moist, then found some fertilizer pellets n scattered them ard the tank, all the while working in silence]
Sylvia: (feels her middle, biting her lip)
Wander: [finally finished as he patted the dirt] Here u go, sweethearts. Ur safe with Uncle Wander now. We'll take good care of u [took off his gardening gloves n lowered his head] ....I agree, she should be taken dwn.... But I don't want to resort to violence...
Sylvia: There might not be any other choice, buddy...
Wander: I cannot bring myself to stoop to her level, Syl... There has to be another way to resolve this, without bloodshed...
Sylvia: She took away Hater's family, and just destroyed both Janet and Maurice... You're saying you'd be super fine if she took ME away??
Wander: And if we go to war with her, she will take EVERYONE away!! I CANNOT lose u, or Hatey, or Peepers, or the litters!! Violence beget violence, Syl, n I can't bear the thought of that!!
Sylvia: :( ... you really think there's another way?
Wander: I don't know... I can't think of anything yet... But there has to be a way to resolve this... without fighting Wanda. U don't know her like I do, how sick n violent she can get. She may be tiny like me, but she has a heart of a monster predator... She's not to be messed with
Sylvia: No kidding... (bites her lip again)
Wander: U ok there, Syl? The eggs bothering u?
Sylvia: The last thing I want... is her doing anything to them... ;(
Wander: Oh Syl... ;( [hugged her close]
Sylvia: (also hugs him close)
[a small squeaking sound could be heard coming frm the tank]
Sylvia: (blinked) Did...did you hear that?
Wander: Hear wat?
[Another squeak came]
Sylvia: From the tank...?
Wander: [made his way to the tank n peeked in]
[The squeaking sound was coming frm the sprouts as they slowly but surely started growing tiny buds, n slowly a row of small tiny flowers bloomed, 3 red roses n 2 blue bluebells]
Wander: :O Did u see that, Syl?
Sylvia: (looks with him) :O Wow...
Wander: Wow... They've finally bloomed
Sylvia: They're so tiny...
Wander: I know, they're so cute~ :)
[Another squeak was heard, the sprouts slowly forming words]
Sprouts: W... Wan... Wan-Wan...
Sylvia: :O
Wander: Their first words! They said their first words! Oh my gob! :D
Sylvia: :) How cute.
Sprouts: Wan-Wan... Wan-Wan...
Wander: Yes, it's me, Uncle Wander. Hey there, sweethearts
Sylvia: :) And Aunt Sylvia's here too.
Sprouts: S... Sy... Silly... An Silly...
Wander: Pfft! XD
Sylvia: =3= Close enough.
Wander: I dunno if Janet has named them yet, but we'll nvr know now tht Janet is gone. Ithink we should come up with names for them
Sylvia: (nod) Yeah.
Wander: Hmm... I'm assuming the red roses should be girls n bluebells should be boys
Sylvia: Mhm.
Wander: Got any ideas tho?
Sylvia: Hmm...
Wander: [tapped his chin, thinking as well]
Sylvia: ...Perhaps flower related names?
Wander: Hmm, I don't think so, coz they're already flowers to begin with, n giving them flower names wen they don't look like the flower name is just confusing. Something decent, like how I gave Janet her name
Sylvia: (nod) True.
Wander: Hmm... Maybe this one can be named Jack [pointed at one of the bluebells] He seems like a Jack to me
Sylvia: (nod) (looks at the tiniest rose) She seems like a Cosmo.
Wander: Cosmo? Isn't that a boy's name tho?
Sylvia: I've heard it as a girl's name too.
Wander: I see... OK, Cosmo it is [looked at the biggest rose n grinned] This is definitely a Helga or a Gilda for me
Sylvia: How about Helga?
Wander: (nod) Sure. Three dwn, two to go
Sylvia: What else...? (looking at the other bluebell)
Wander: Hmm... U can think a name for the boy while I think a name for the girl
Sylvia: (nod) Got it.
Wander: [thought for a bit] Although... TBH, I'd like it if they took on their parents' names. Carry on their legacy
Sylvia: ...Yeah, why don't we do that?
Wander: (nod) So Maurice [pointed at the last bluebell] and Janet [pointed at the last rose]
Sylvia: (nod) Sounds good.
Wander: Hey, guys. Those r ur names, u hear? U be good n grow nice n strong, then Uncle Wander will find u a nice galaxy for u where u can form ur own solar system n soon make ur own cluster n do ur mommy n daddy proud, OK?
Sylvia: ^_^ (then feels her middle again)
Wander: U alright, Syl?
Sylvia: I'm fine...just hope the babies will be too.
Wander: Yeah, hope so too (nod) [looked ard] Luckily I remember this place from the last time I explored this ship. Guess they gave up on growing stuff here
Sylvia: Guess so.
Wander: Let's go bk to the guys. They're prolly wondering where we are
Sylvia: (nod) Yeah.

Tears of The Rose-Chp127
[as predicted by Peepers, they soon arrived their destination in 3 days]
Wander: [looked out the window expectantly but saw something was off] Strange... Where's Janet?
Sylvia: (looking around) ... I don't see her...?
Wander: [pressed his face against the window pane to see better, then gasped in horror as he screamed] JANET!!! [dug his hat for the Orrble Juice, made an Orrble, n without warning, ran out of the ship in it]
Hater: :O Wander, wait!
Peepers: [made an Orrble for Hater] U go after him. I'll hold the fort with Sylvia
Hater: (nod) (quickly follows after Wander)
Wander: [ran at full speed towards Janet, or wat was left of Janet]
[Janet was no longer whole, she was in pieces, n even her husband Maurice was in pieces, like someone just blasted them with a death ray, their planet debris just floating in space, n wats left of Janet was just a floating tiny core, dimly glowing, almost flickering]
Wander: Janet!! JANET!! [runs to the core n cradled her in his arms, barely the size of a small beach ball] Janet, oh gob, Janet...!!
Hater: (catches up) :( Oh no... she got to Janet...?
Wander: ;( Janet, Janet, wake up, pls wake up!! It's me, Wander...!!
Janet: [strained to reply] W...Wan... der...? Is... tht... reli...?
Hater: :( Janet...
Wander: Yes, yes, its me, its Wander. Pls... Pls hang in there, I'm right here, we'll figure something out, pls just...
Janet: Sprouts... My... sprouts... W...Where... are... they...?
Hater: (looks around, and hurries over to a floating clump of dirt, the size of a pillow, where he sees the small sprouts)
Wander: [sees it too] Q-Quick, bring it here, Hatey
Hater: (brings it over to them)
Wander: Here, here they are, Janet, see? They're all here. 5 sprouts all accounted for. They're OK
Janet: M...Maurice...? Is he...?
Wander: [looked up tearfully at the shattered moon n shook his head] I'm sorry, Janet... He... He's gone... ;(
Hater: :( ...
Janet: Oh Maury...
Wander: Pls... Wat happened? Tell me wat happened?
Janet: Can't... remember... Happen... so fast... Big... ship... Black n purple... Weird... insignia... Like... sting ray... Big... gun... Shot at us... no reason... Everything... went... black...
Hater: Did you see a white nomad? Is that who did this to you?
Janet: White... nomad...? [her glow dimmed a little bit before lighting up a bit again] Y... Yes... I... remember... I saw... something white... standing... in... front of... me... aftr shot... Blurry... bt it look... like it... was smiling... It said... "Tell tht... little.... wee-wee.... I said... Hi..."
Wander: [his face paled at tht name] Wee-wee... She... She used to call me tht bcoz I was the baby of the family... N bcoz I wet myself at one point wen she was torturing me...
Hater: :( And she took away my father...destroyed my home...
Wander: Janet... Pls... Pls dont go... Hang in there! We-We'll think of something. We'll patch u up real quick. We'll figure something out...
Janet: Take...care...of...my...sprouts...for me...OK...?
Wander: No, no, dont say tht, Janet, pls...!! ;(
Janet: Good...bye...Wan...der... [her glow finally dimmed till it was extinguished, leaving her core nothing bt a space rock]
Wander: No... No no no no, Janet! JANET, NO!! ;( [wailed out loud as he hugged the core, crying in agony]
Hater: ;( ... (bows his head in silence)
Wander: [cried for wat seemed like forever before he finally reluctantly let Janet go, her core floated n drifted into space until it disappeared out of sight] ;(
Hater: (still holding the sprouts in his arms) :(
Wander: [sees the sprouts n took them in his arms] Its OK, Uncle Wander is here... I'll take care of u... ;(
Hater: :( We'll take care of them... (hugs Wander)
Wander: [nodded n walked together with Hater bk to the ship]
Wander: [looked out the window expectantly but saw something was off] Strange... Where's Janet?
Sylvia: (looking around) ... I don't see her...?
Wander: [pressed his face against the window pane to see better, then gasped in horror as he screamed] JANET!!! [dug his hat for the Orrble Juice, made an Orrble, n without warning, ran out of the ship in it]

Hater: :( We'll take care of them... (hugs Wander)
Wander: [nodded n walked together with Hater bk to the ship]
Tears of The Rose-Chp126
(meanwhile)
Hater: ;(
Wander: [sobbed in his arms as well, tho his hands rubbed Hater's bk in comfort] ;( I'm so sorry for ur loss, Hatey... I wished I'd met him... Him n the rest of ur family...
Hater: I know... I know... ;(
*knock knock knock*
Peepers: [voice behind the door] Umm, its me n Sylvia. U guys OK? Can we come in?
Hater: (sniffles) Y-yes, C Peeps?
Peepers: [entered cautiously] Sorry to interrupt but... well, I thought we could talk abt wat happened dwn at ur home planet and... the person responsible for it
Wander: [his breath hitched at the thought of it]
Sylvia: It's okay, Wander. We won't force it out of you but it's something we have to know.
Wander: [looked at Hater, a bit unsure]
Hater: It's okay...
Wander: [takes a deep breath] OK... Well, it goes way bk... Way before u met me, Syl, n the reason why u found me in tht basement [told them everything he told Hater abt Wanda]
Peepers: [hears evry word] Oh gob...
Hater: :(
Sylvia: :( ...
Wander: So yeah... That's the gist of it...
Peepers: U think... Maybe she knows abt ur relationship with Hater n that's why she targeted his home planet? To get revenge?
Wander: That or get my attention...
Hater: But... bringing my family into this when they did nothing...
Wander: That's Wanda, alright. It's all abt the petty stuff
Peepers: We've managed to outrun her troops for now, bt now wat do we do?
Sylvia: Find some place where she hopefully won't find us.
Peepers: Or we take the fight to them! Show her wat for!
Wander: No! Don't, I don't want u to get hurt! She maybe barbaric n violent, but she's also smart. U can't fight her at our current situation right now
Hater: She killed my family... (growling)
Sylvia: But we have kids aboard, we can't let them get hurt, Pipsqueak.
Peepers: [blinked] Yeah... N ur pregnant too... Dammit...
Wander: Let's just go n hide somewhere, outrun her, just until we know how to keep the kids n Sylvia safe
Sylvia: (nod) Yeah, let's.
Hater: But where's the best place we can go?
Wander: Let's go bk to Janet. No one knew she existed until Syl n I discovered her, n since we left her, it seems like no one has ever set foot on her. It'll be the perfect hiding spot
Sylvia: Hope so... (places hand on her belly)
Peepers: Alright, I'll set course to Planet Janet then. U guys sit tight
Wander: [strokes Sylvia's belly] How's the baby, Syl? Is it OK?
Sylvia: Yeah, they're doing just fine. (nod)
Wander: They? U mean ur having twins? :O
Sylvia: :) Yeah. Peepers and I also have extra names in case they're the same gender.
Wander: Aww~~ Syl, I'm so happy for u! Two bundle of joys in there! Peeps must be such a stud, eh? (smirk)
Sylvia: (giggle) He can be pretty horny.
Wander: Heh, who knew someone so tiny hv such a big libido?
Peepers: I heard tht, furball -__-**
Sylvia: ^^ We're just teasing, Pipsqueak.
Peepers: |-( Riiiight... Well I've set the coordinates. We'll reach Planet Janet in abt 3 days via warp jump
Sylvia: :) Great.
Hater: (standing by the window)
Wander: [sees him n went to him, taking his hand n squeezing it gently]
Hater: ...You would've liked my family...
Wander: I know... I wished I had followed u just now, at least I could meet ur dad, so he would know ur happy with me...
Hater: Yeah... but...he's in a better place, along with mom, sis and my brother...
Wander: U... Nvr told me abt them. Wat were they like?
Hater: Well... (sits with Wander, telling him all about what his family was like)
Wander: [sat on his lap, listening to everything]
Hater: ...And, that's about it.
Wander: They sound like rather wonderful ppl. A bit dysfunctional, but still wonderful
Hater: Yeah, they were crazy at times but they were still my family.
Wander: Was ur family with ur dad wen u found him?
Hater: ... No, I didn't see them... :(
Wander: Wen it's safe, we'll go bk. We'll find them n we'll give them a proper burial
Hater: ...Yeah...
Wander: [leans in to kiss him gently]
Hater: (slowly returns kiss, few more tears trickling down his cheeks)
Wander: [kept kissing him, his hands reached up to gently wipe those tears away]
Hater: Mmm...(wraps his arms around Wander)

[the couple made their way to the media room]
Peepers: Right, lets just get the wifi signal... [typed the coordinates] ...set up the connection... dial up their number... Right, we're in, just need to wait for them to pick up
Sylvia: ^^ She's gonna be so excited to hear this.
Peepers: Definitely [hears the familiar click n the video screen went on]
Baxter: Yo~ Long time no hear! How's it hanging there, guys?
Sylvia: :) Hey. Is Shelly there?
Baxter: Yup, right nxt door doing her doodles [turns aside n yelled out] YO, SHELLS!! UR OTHER MOTHER IS ON THE LINE!!
Peepers: (doh) Geez, ur loud
Sylvia: (doh)
Shelly: (enters) :) Mommy?
Baxter: I take tht as a compliment [moved aside to let Shelly come in view of the screen]
Peepers: Hey, sweetness. How're u doing so far?
Shelly: ^^ Doing an art project for art class.
Sylvia: :) Nice. Hey, good news, kiddo. ;)
Shelly: ?
Peepers: [helped Sylvia to stand up so her belly is in full view of the screen] Ur gonna be a big sister
Baxter: Ehh~?! Woah, u guys move fast!
Shelly: :O ~??
Sylviua: That's right, Shelly. :) You're gonna be a big sister.
Shelly: ... :D YEEEEEEEEEE!!!~
Baxter: (doh) N u said I was loud. So do u knw the gender? Is it gonna be a boy or a girl?
Peepers: No, we don't knw the gender yet, bt we're definitely expecting more than one baby
Shelly: :O ... :D I'M GONNA GET TWO SIBLINGS??
Sylvia: (doh) Not so loud, kiddo. ^^;;
Shelly: (giggle) Sorry.
Peepers: Yup, we're having twins. N I can tell ur super excited
Baxter: Anymore excited, I'd hv to scrap her off the wall |-(
Shelly: XP
Sylvia: :) How is everyone else doing?
Baxter: Ma n Pa r being their usual self as always, running the ranch, business as usual. Nothing much exciting happens here except during family gatherings. Wat abt u guys?
Peepers: Umm, well...
Sylvia: :( ...
Shelly: ?
Peepers: [forced a smile] It's OK, nothing u guys should worry abt. We can hold our own
Baxter: U sure? U know u guys can tell us anything
Peepers: Maybe not now, but soon wen we're ready
Shelly: :( Mommy...?
Sylvia: ...Some other time, kiddo.
Peepers: [tries to change the subject] So how is tht stock broking thing going along, Baxter? Getting the hang of it?
[The rest of the conversation was just idle small talk, updating each other on their daily lives, with Peepers n Sylvia trying to not mention abt wat had happened at Hater's home planet]
Shelly: :)
Peepers: Oh, look at the time. We gtg now, don't wanna keep u guys too long. U take care now, u hear, sweetness?
Shelly: ^^ Okay, Daddy.
Sylvia: (giggle)
Peepers: [blushed at Shelly finally calling him Daddy, almost tearing up as he smiled at her]
Baxter: Don't be a stranger now, keep us updated on the babies, ya hear? Ma n Pa are gonna flip their gourd once we tell them abt this :D
Sylvia: :) Same to you two.
Shelly: ^^
Peepers: Alright. Bye, sweetness. Bye, Baxter
Baxter: Ta-ta. Cya!
Shelly: Bye, mommy! Bye, daddy! ^^
Sylvia: :) Cya.
Peepers: [waved goodbye one last time before ending the call, then lowered his helmet to cover his face as his shoulders shook a little]
Sylvia: Aww, a little emotional are we? ^^
Peepers: [sniffles a bit] ....Shut up... ;(
Sylvia: (giggle) (hugs him close, rubbing his back)
Peepers: [leaned against her] She called me "Daddy"... I can't believe she called me tht... My heart hurts with the feels right now... ;(
Sylvia: Aw, it's okay, Pipsqueak. :)
Peepers: [sniffled in her arms a bit more before he calmed himself] U think it's wise to not let them know abt wat happened to Lord Hater?
Sylvia: It'd be best that way.
Peepers: I suppose, this doesnt reli concern them, n they can't help us anyways. It's unneccesary worry for them
Sylvia: Mhm...
Peepers: I suppose I should tell u wat happened wen we were dwn on Lord Hater's home planet
Sylvia: What...?
Peepers: [sat her dwn n told her everything they saw n heard wen they were dwn at the home planet, as well as at Hater's family mansion]
Sylvia: :O Oh... my...
Peepers: Yeah, it's terrible. I just don't get it tho, why Hater's planet? Wat does this Wanda hv to do with Hater's family?
Sylvia: I don't know either... :(
Peepers: Probably Wander might know. Hater's dad said this Wanda is a white nomad. U think it's OK to ask him abt this?
Sylvia: Wander might not want to talk about it, but... we have to find out somehow...
Peepers: Well, like it or not, we hv to try n ask him. He might know something abt all this, or at least know who this Wanda is
Sylvia: (nod) Right.

[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]
