Conner waited until the pod was out of sight, and then sprinted back to the Hokage's ship and boarded, locking all the doors. He hammered in the coordinates for Enere system. Now that the New Order and his brother was gone, he could do his own thing. The ship lifted slowly off of the floor. When Conner was about twenty feet up, he noticed the complete destruction his group had caused. Debris and bodies were everywhere. Conner breathed, and was gone.
Sonake was taken aback. He screamed and yelled after the ship, but it had flown away before he could even reach the landing pad. "Conner !" he screamed maniacally, "Coward !".The ship disappeared. He was stranded. Sonake dropped to his knees as it began to rain heavily. Beside him lay Hyperiate, blood flowing everywhere, mixing with the rain and turning the yellow stone a sickly red. "Sonake …" she whispered. He began to weep. "Conner … he abandoned me."
"He will look for our daughter." Hyperiate whispered.
"No," said Sonake, "He doesn't know. I never told him. Nobody will find her."
Hyperiate sighed. "How will you convert him ?"
"I won't. I will take his head from his shoulders, as with the EnderLord."
"Be careful, my love." The glow of her hair began to dim. Sonake cried as she slipped away. He closed her eyes and stood. Think. The Yellow Flash gathered his comrade's weapons and bundled them into a cloak, and then hauled the Hokage corpses out over the edge and into the void, ignoring the fire that Ender had made. He walked, maybe for half an hour, until he came to the escape pods. He forced one open and got in. Slowly, he raised it into the air, and then, with the fury and rage of pain and loss, he blasted forth in pursuit of the Last EnderLord.
