In the Galactic Federation capital of Planet Turo; Rock was walking around the entire building.
He walked by a statue of Warp before stopping in his tracks and walked back to it before looking at it.
The meerkat looked at a plaque that said 'Warp Ness; Excellent Soldier and Drill Sergeant'.
Rock sighed as the Grand Councilwoman appeared and looked at the statue.
"He was indeed one of the best agents we had, despite his corruption later on in life, he still was a valuable asset that will be missed." said Grand Councilwoman.
"I know, I just can't believe that he was in cahoots with Vilgax the whole time and that we're keeping everyone in the dark about what really happened with him and his corruption." said Rock.
"It's for the best, we keep this between ourselves, we keep our jobs." Grand Councilwoman said before walking off.
Rock kept on looking at the statue before walking off himself.
Later; he was in his apartment sitting at a table as Jaime appeared with plates of mashed potatoes, ribs, and peas.
The scarab wearing hero placed one of the plates in front of Rock.
"Here we go, dinner's ready." said Jaime.
He then sat down at the table as well before digging into the peas.
"Oh yeah, I'm getting better and better at cooking." said Jaime.
He noticed Rock was only staring at his food.
Jaime became confused.
"What's wrong?" said Jaime.
"Nothing." said Rock.
"You can lie to Jaime, but you can't lie to me pal." said Khaji Da.
Rock sighed.
"Still thinking about what happened on that planet, and having to keep it under wraps from the entire United Galactic Federation." said Rock.
"I see." said Khaji Da.
"Dude, it was probably for the best that the federation doesn't know about it." said Jaime.
"I know, but I can't believe that I had to kill Warp for his treason. Maybe things would be better if he were still alive and not working for Vilgax." said Rock.
"Oh sure, it's not like Warp'll come back to life and want vengeance on you." said Khaji Da, "What're the odds of that actually happening?"
Meanwhile on the same jungle planet Rock explored a while back; Vilgax's destroyed hideout was still reduced to rubble.
But a ton of crumbling sounds were heard before some of the rubble was pushed up into the air.
Then a figure emerged from the rubble before walking off.
The figure walked over to a lake and looked into the water to see it's reflection, revealing it was Warp who was now very burnt up.
"Wha, what has happened to me?" said Warp.
He looked at his stubby arms to see no hands.
"My hands, my hands have been taken away." said Warp.
He became mad.
"That no good Rock, I taught him everything he knows, and he uses my teachings against me. I'll kill him." said Warp.
He walked back to the destroyed hideout and kicked some rubble away to see some mechanical hands.
He stuck his arms onto them before lifting his arms up and looking at the hands.
"This won't do at all, if only I could make them more interesting." said Warp.
Then some type of liquid metal from his arms appeared before surrounding the mechanical hands and turning into organic like hands.
Warp became shocked.
"Liquid metal? That magma I fell into must have actually been molten copper." said Warp.
He smirked.
"Which means that my entire body is now like liquid metal. Rock better be careful around me now." said Warp.
He chuckled.
The next day on Earth; Rock was in only a pair of green swim shorts and walked out of a locker room and towards a hot tub before sitting in it.
He smiled.
"Oh yeah, that feels good." said Rock.
He flipped a switch on the tub, making the bubbles appear as Sam in a turquoise one piece swimsuit appeared.
She giggled.
"How's the community pool hot tub?" said Sam.
"Relaxing." said Rock.
Sam climbed into the tub and sat down.
She smiled.
"Ooh yeah, that's good." said Sam.
"I know right? The community pool made a good point to put this here." said Rock.
Sam nodded.
"Yep." said Sam.
She then became shocked.
"Something's touching my leg." said Sam.
"That's my foot, trying to play footsie. Should I not?" said Rock.
Sam groaned.
"Pardon, maybe I should just play it with someone I'm not in a relationship with." said Rock.
Sam giggled.
"You tease." Sam said before tackling Rock.
The two hugged each other before leaning towards each other.
But a beeping sound was heard and Rock looked at his watch.
"Oh boy, I've got to take this, work and all, see you tonight." said Rock.
"You better." said Sam.
Rock kissed Sam on the cheek before climbing out of the tub and entering the locker room.
He tapped a button on his watch.
"I'm here, what is it?" said said Rock.
A split screen appeared and the Grand Councilwoman was on the other side.
"There's been some suspicious activity on that jungle planet you had your first field mission on, I need you to go there and investigate." said Grand Councilwoman.
Rock became shocked.
"What, you want me to return to the planet where all my problems started?" said Rock.
"Exactly. There's a life reading on that planet." said Grand Councilwoman.
"There hasn't been any readings on that planet since Vilgax left." said Rock, "And there's no way that Warp could still be alive, I saw him falling into the hot magma myself."
"But now someone's walking about in the woods. If Warp's still alive and on that planet, then we need to make sure he doesn't come back and expose our own corruption." said Grand Councilwoman.
Rock sighed.
"That day after Warp's funeral, we swore we'd never talk about covering up the incident to anyone in the Federation, seems like that ship has sailed. I can't just returned to the planet, the whole incident traumatized me." said Rock.
The Grand Councilwoman sighed.
"I know how you feel about everything, but I did you a favor by covering Wrap's death and corruption up, and even made that planet off limits, now's the time to return that favor." said Grand Councilwoman.
Rock nodded.
"I understand." Rock said before pushing a button on his watch, making the split screen to Grand Councilwoman's side disappear.
He sighed and walked under a hand dryer before turning it on.
