“Can we stay here for a while? I’m tired” Milkomeda begged her robot-assistants for they’ve been traveling about three million light-years in search of asteroid B618.
“We could Ms. Drey but may I remind you, you only have two days standard-time left to locate it.” Bap answered.
“Oh, just admit it! You wanted to attend the gathering of the Universal Scouts and here you are because of Captain Orion and because you need to borrow Mr. Stuart’s diary.” Bop was mocking her as usual.
“We missed it! We missed it! Oh how we thought of it day and night now were here doing a job were didn’t even like in the first place!” Bep supported.
“In general, we loved the job but most of its burdens- well, we all know people expect more because of this.” The maiden pointed all of her body “And that’s fine since we get special treatments and a lot of compliments but then again… I have limits… they might be unclear but it’s there. I know some understands that: friends and Captain Orion is aware of it but then again, I can’t say ‘no’ to the people who trust me and sees me behind all these curtains.” Their master admitted.
“Rest would be advisable miss.” Bap cut the great silence after it; again. Serious conversations happen often on the travels since the day she started accepting intense cases but it never became a problem in the long run for her past taught her, in the most terrible way: how to cherish the present and everything has a purpose, nothing is in vain.
I opened my eyes…
I dreamed…
For the first time and it was…
Just a drea- no! It was real!
Where are my friends!?
All the dim portions of my head had been cleared. I remember everything now!
But… What happened? Where are the others? Isn’t this place…
My home…
Earth!
It returned to me, my memories!
Here’s the tallest building that was made by man, now it’s just rubbles. There’s the Grand Intergalactic Peace Park, and the only thing was left was one of its columns. My home! I must return! Mom, Dad!
No… can’t you see? None was spared!
You saw the world… it has turned lifeless and its total destruction is inevitable.
Dr. Aries told you to run away and be safe… now you’re back here;
Why!? You think they’ll survive like you did! You think you could help them?
I am as helpless as them yet I wasn’t able to die in the darkness.
But it’s just a little part of me! Why can’t I join the end!?
Maybe I’ve lived to know the truth…
I never knew every single detail of this body…
All Dr. Aries said while my childhood was mostly in the hospital or the lab;
‘I know it hurts and sorry for we can’t stop it but trust me… you’ll be ok.’
The turmoil within my mind and the over stirred emotions in my heart has almost cause me not to notice the star that was staring at me. It was there anticipating something…
I understood what it wanted so I immediately ran to a plane site and called the others with a beam of light that I produced with my palm – pointing to the blinding skies. I regained my abilities: my hair divided and turned into fire and water, I can feel my organs, muscles awakening from their slumber. Also, the overwhelming piece that replaced my heart began to lift the debris and moved them in a spiral motion; ripping the artificial brightness above into its center. It was clearing the heavens, then it calmed after the outer space was exposed. The following was, pieces of me coming down like falling stars… now, I am almost complete.

“If you leave, if you stayed… what’s the difference? You’re still alone and… afraid of yourself.” He said. “Why can’t we give up!? Let us have another purpose in life; they are your people as well! Don’t waste your chance for another endless adventure.”
“They’ll enslave you- use you to conquer the universe. Is this what we want? Our kind being jeopardized again because of their greed!... Humans will always be humans; you know that, we know that, everyone knows but no one could simply accept it… Please, don’t be deceived, there not the only once you can serve and protect. You are composed of the universe as man is composed of all animals. With this fact, you belong in any tribe, group, organization, institution even the void is your home!... You’re not frightened to be empty again; you just don’t believe in yourself.” She grabbed his shoulder and turned him around to see his fearful state.
“I’m a monster.” His lilac hair and plum eyes slowly turned black and darker… releasing his true identity as the only being of space and time who has shape or form.
“Every part of you is a monster… untamed and notorious but look at you; you are one – the evidence why someday the wars will end and all will be united again.” She corrected while he slowly transformed into a black orb and he was absorbed by her chest, by her heart.
“I guess revenge is not his middle name, and we’re saved but our ship is totally wrecked.” The Lieutenant cuts the silence after the subject finally escapes the vicinity “Do you think this would explode? We should leav-“ she was cut off by the laughter of her commander.
“Are you ready to be excommunicated or worst, exiled in the void.” Titus asked with a smile on his face.
“Well at least I’m not alone and I’ve heard, the Sauti cluster is the paradise of this universe.” The lower officer suggested.
“Hail the supreme for none was killed!” then he suddenly remembered “The other resources!?”
“He helped all of them escape. I guess we’ll be hanged right?” Beitt reported.
“Let’s get out of here.” He clicked the screen one last time to get their getaway ship.
