Some time ago, before the events of the first episode of the season, the Lord Commander sat in his throne, thinking about the time he met Invictus for the first time. It happened the moment he was stabbed through the back by Cetus.

"Our work isn't done, child. It's only just begun."

He found himself in a red void, starring up at a horned, devilish face. But instead of being afraid, he asked in annoyance, "Where am I and what are you?"

"I am the one who pulled you from the abyss of death. I chose you for a special purpose and to give you what you desire."

The Lord Commander's eyes widened. "You're going to make me... a Titan?"

"Yes. And you will do something for me."

Purple tendrils pulled the midget alien tyrant into a portal. "Where are you taking me?!" The next thing the Lord Commander knew, he was in a new void. A purple one with a huge dark mass in the center. Tendrils extended from the mass, anchoring themselves to what looked like entire galaxies.

"To show you who I really am," the mass said. "I am Invictus. And this is my prison. You, my child, will help me escape."

"How?"

"Find Mooncake."

The Lord Commander never wanted to hear that name again. "You've gotta be kidding me!"

"The more energy I absorb, the more power I'll have to break free of these chains and consume life across every dimension."

The Lord Commander hacked up black bile. "One small problem," he coughed. "Kinda dying here!"

"I can restore you."

"THEN DO IT ALREDY!" A purple energy wrapped itself around him, healing the necrotic flesh and restoring his life. A life he now owned the eldritch abomination. "I feel so... good!"

"Find Mooncake."

"I'm doing it already."

The Lord Commander approached the restrained prisoners and asked, "Which one of you is going to tell me where Mooncake is? How about you, Avocato?" Avocato spat in his face. "Ah, that's fun. THIS is also fun!" He grabbed Little Cato by the throat and slowly began to tighten his grip.

"Leave my son alone!"

The Lord Commander laughed. "I can't believe you still give so much for someone so little."

"LET HIM GO!"

"Where is MOONCAKE?! Nothing? Then how about a little small talk to loosen you up?" The Lord Commander's smile began to widen unnaturally. "I know! Avocato, why don't you tell your boy how we first met? He's gonna love that one."

"NO!"

"Oh, yes."

"You can't tell me anything I don't already know," said Little Cato in defiance.

The Lord Commander turned to him and asked, "Are you sure you know everything? Because I wouldn't be so sure, boy." He laughed a little before saying, "Screw it! Let's make your father tell us the story."

The tyrant held his hand up and tightened his fist. Avocato groaned as he felt his mind and memories being invaded. "No! No!" Then, he was compelled to say what the Lord Commander wanted him to say. "On Ventrexia, wars never end. I hated war. The problem was... There was no one better at it than me."

Many years ago, before he was the Lord Commander's second, Avocato was a general of the Ventrexian army. He was so good at it his job at killing, people began to think he was good for nothing else. Then, one day, while leading a platoon of soldiers into enemy territory, he made a decision that would change his life forever.

It started when one of his troops warned him, "Sir, we should fall back. We're advancing too far."

Avocato shook his head and said, "We push forward."

Suddenly, a laser sniper hit the unfortunate Ventrexian in the head. Before anyone could take another step, they were surrounded by the entire enemy army.

"AMBUSH!"

We were surrounded. And then in a flash, they were vaporized.

Then, a laser destroyed the entire enemy army in a single attack. Then, HE floated down to greet the Ventrexians.

And that's when I saw you for the first time.

"Bow to me."

All the Ventrexians did as they were told...except for Avocato. He considered firing his gun at the Lord Commander, but one look at the fleet above him made him realize he was outgunned and outnumbered. So, he bowed as well. The tyrant smirked. Such spunk.

Somewhere in Final Space, the Galaxy 2 flew past a planet that had somehow been cleaved in half. "Approaching Mooncake's location in t-minus 84," said HUE.

"Gary, Fly, I'm really worried about the others," said Quinn as they walked down a hall.

"Me too. But the good news is, look, we... we know where Mooncake is," said Gary.

"And what about the others?" Fly asked, looking out the window anxiously. "Little Cato's probably worried sick about me."

We are totally gonna find them, now that we have this awesome ship! The Dragon Hawk 5. God, it just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?"

Fly shook her head. "I still like the Galaxy 2."

"Oh, come on. It's at least better than that name that crazy old man gave it. But enough of that. Check this out!" He opened a door and revealed a room that looked like it belonged to a five star hotel penthouse. It came with a king sized bed, an indoor jacuzzi, lounge chairs, a giant flatscreen television and lounge chairs.

"Ooh, I call dibs on the bed!" Fly said, hopping on the bed and resting her arms behind her head.

"Hey, get out of here, Fly," said Gary angrily. "This is our super deluxe nest!"

"Actually, I think separate rooms is a better idea," said Quinn.

"Oh. Oh, yeah. Totally."

Quinn rubbed her left upper arm nervously. "Did I make things awkward between us? Because it feels like I just did."

Gary laughed awkwardly before saying, "What? No way! No way. I love the idea of never sleeping, napping, or canoodling together ever. Don't even sweat it. Don't sweat it!"

"I did. I know I did."

"I'll find a room down the hall," Gary said as he left. "I'll get a shower in or something."

Fly pursed her lips and whistled a little. "I suddenly feel like I've become the third wheel. Well on the plus side, we get the best room in the ha-house," she sang.

"Yeah," said Quinn, looking a little sad.

"Hey, you okay?"

"It's fine. I just gotta go freshen up," she said as she went into the bathroom.

Quinn took off her gloves, jacket, shirt and bra and looked at her reflection in the mirror hanging on the wall. The sick yellow color in her veins had spread all the way up to her entire torso. "It's getting worse," she said, tears rolling down her face. "And the person I most want to tell in the world, I can't."

Quinn snapped out of her funk when she heard Fly call out, "Quinn! I need a girl talk!"

"Oh, uh...be right there!"

Fly stared at the objects she got from her old house and sighed. "Just once, let me do it right."

The door to bathroom door opened and a fully clothed Quinn stepped out. "What is it you want to talk about?" Then she realized what it was when she saw what Fly was holding. "Are...are those..?"

"Yeah. I want to make it official with me, Avocato and Little Cato. After all this is over, I want to be a mother for real. Do what I couldn't do with Cetus. Sheryl was right. The only reason I abandoned my first baby was because I didn't have someone to talk me out of it. I want Avocato to be that someone now."

Quinn sat on the bed and asked seriously, "Are you sure you want to do this? This is something that's very life changing."

"I know. And that's the thing. I don't know if I am. Quinn, what should I do?"

"I don't know. That's up to you, girl. Are you really ready to be responsible and this committed?" Fly stared at what she was holding, unsure. "I think you should give it more time."

Meanwhile, Bolo and Mooncake were flying through Final Space, heading toward a planet that had been converted into what looked like a giant castle. "The fortress of the Titan Oreskis."

"Chookity?"

"Yes! It's time for revenge," said Bolo as they flew into the throne room. "This dick bag stole my first love, Jill. And for that, we murder him." He pulled out the sword and shouted, "Oreskis, show yourself! I know you know the sound of my voice."

A Titan with green fur and skin, a skull-like face and flaming deer antlers materialized, sitting on the throne. "Bolo. I see your Dimensional Keys did the trick of freeing you, old friend."

"Old friend?! You left me to rot within that prison for eons!

"You betrayed your kind."

"You've been blinded by Invictus."

Oreskis stood up as he growled, "No, old friend. My eyes are clear. You just failed to be inspired."

Bolo pointed the sword at him. "You know why I've come!"

"Is this about Jill," Oreskis asked in a mocking tone as he and Bolo floated up into the sky.

"Hell, yeah, it's about Jill. Has she mentioned me?"

"Maybe she has, maybe she hasn't."

Rage fueled Bolo when he heard that. "You die now! And when I'm done, I will kill Invictus."

Oreskis' attention then focused on the little green blob sitting on Bolo's shoulder. "You must be the Mooncake."

"Pok!"

"We've heard so much about you. You're very, very special."

Mooncake whimpered. Bolo gripped the sword with two hands and shouted, "Enough! Let the fight begin!"

For some reason, Oreskis didn't pull out his own sword. Then suddenly, he chuckled. "She was right! I would be the perfect bait!"

"What? AUUUGGHHH!" Bolo screamed as a purple energy slowly started to envelop him. He turned and saw Cetus, lips pulled back in a feral grin.

"CHOOKITY POK!" Mooncake fired his laser at the cyborg, making her release her grip on Bolo.

He growled at Oreskis, "You fool! She's devouring our kind! She'll gain enough power to consume Invictus!"

"But she said she would spare me, and make me a servant for a new god," Oreskis shouted as he pulled out his sword at last.

"She lies!" Bolo roared as they clashed blades.

Cetus landed on a rock and tried to capture Bolo again but Mooncake rammed his head into hers, making her stumble. "Why are you here, you floating snot?! Go back to Gary! This doesn't concern you!"

"Chookity pok!" Mooncake shouted, preparing to fire his laser again.

Cetus chuckled. "And you believed him?"

"POK POOOOOK!" He fired the laser, but Cetus deflected it. What she didn't know was that this was a distraction for her as Mooncake flew up to her, latched onto her face and fired the laser again at point blank range.

"AUUUGGH!" Cetus screamed as she tore Mooncake off and put her hands on her face. "Enough with the face melting," she shouted, revealing the metal skull underneath. "I had to steal half of these synthetic skins from Clarence!"

"Gary, we will be at Mooncake's location in t-minus 63. And you are almost out of cold water."

Gary ignored HUE as the shower water ran down his back. "Why did I push, ya know? I did... Quinn hates when I push. I should have flowed."

Suddenly, KVN appeared and jumped on his head and began scrubbing him. "Oh, if only you'd flowed, Gary. You'd be nestled in her arms right now in the privacy of your very own Garden of Eden. Scrubby scrubby! Lemme get in there," he said as he washed Gary's privates.

"I'm gonna count to three, KVN. Three." He chased the annoying robot out of the shower with his gun. He lowered it as he said, "I hate myself for this, but I must admit it. I'm desperate."

He got dried off and dressed and approached the cookie vending machine in the mess hall. "Shhh, don't talk. I've longed to nibble on your oblong body, but an impenetrable barrier blocks me from you. Unlock your throbbing gates." He tried opening it, but he couldn't. It was locked tight. He punched it, but that only served to hurt his organic hand. "Ugh! Ah! Son of a cookie wife! That hurt!"

Gary tried to use all kinds of methods to open the vendor. He tried prying it open. "Open! Agh!" He tried smashing it with KVN. "Open! Aaaah!" He tried kicking it. "Opennnnn! Owwww!" And he tried shooting it open. Nothing happened.

Then to Gary's astonishment, the vendor grew a pair of arms and legs and walked away. "How the hell did you..?" He let out a groan of frustration. "I can't break through to anything!"

Gary found Quinn and Fly at the bridge. Sensing there was going to be a conversation meant for Quinn and Gary, Fly focused on her control panel and put on a pair of ear muffs.

"Hey," said Quinn.

"Hey," said Gary as he sat in the pilot's seat. "We'll be at Mooncake's location soon."

"You want to talk about the separate rooms thing?"

Poor Gary stammered, "There's not... there's nothing to talk about because I... I love... I love being in the separate rooms thing. It's... well, who knew?"

"Interesting. I was monitoring your heart rate, Gary, and you are lying."

Gary snapped at HUE, "That's a lie! I love it. No human contact is awesome incredible."

"No. That's a lie, Gary."

"HUE, mind your own business," hissed Fly. "So Gary is in denial and is afraid that the next thing he'll say may drive Quinn away. It's his personal life."

"Oh, look. The pot just called the kettle black." Suddenly, the alarms blared. "Unauthorized life form detected on board."

"Shouldn't you have picked that up sooner, H.U.E.?" asked an irritated Gary.

"What's the danger level, H.U.E.?" asked Quinn.

"Unknown."

Suddenly, a floor panel popped open and guess who came out of it. Fly let out a squeal of delight and wrapped Biskit in her arms. "Biskitty!"

"That guy?!" exclaimed Gary. "Oh, come on!"

"You wouldn't shoot a tiger tiger would you?" Biskit asked. "I can't hide on this ship any longer! It's killing me! Why aren't you two sleeping together?"

"What are you even doing here?" Gary asked, annoyed.

Biskit hopped out of Fly's arms and said, "I stowed away. Hahaharawrawwrar! Oh, boy, it's fun, it's fun! We're having fun. Is it just you three?"

"He's probably partying," said Gary.

"No!"

"And snacking."

"Snacking? No way!"

"Yeah. He's a lucky, partying, snacking guy."

Fly didn't look so sure. "I don't know. Avocato's not exactly a parting guy."

"Just you wait," said Gary. "I can just picture him having the time of his life!"

Avocato screamed as the Lord Commander continued to torture him. Little Cato yelled and struggled against his restraints, "Stop! You're hurting my dad!"

"This can all stop when you tell me where Mooncake is."

"We don't know where he is!"

"Shame. I don't believe you. So let's continue our story."

Avocato spoke, forced by the midget tyrant. "After the battle, you summoned me. I should have been grateful to you. But instead, I just hated you more."

Following the battle, Avocato stepped into the Lord Commander's throne room. He spoke, "Tell me, Avocato, do you have a family?"

Avocato looked down at the floor. "I used to. A boy."

"Is that what you fight for?"

"I fight for Ventrexia."

The Lord Commander's eyes glowed as he glared at him. "Tell me, what is so special about Ventrexia? It sends its people to fight a thousand-year war for what?!"

"I don't know anymore," Avocato admitted. Truth be told, the reason why Ventrexia went to war in the first place was lost. No record of it existed anymore.

The Lord Commander hovered down his throne to speak to him face to face. "So then they have you kill for no reason?"

"I kill because I..."

"You kill because you're good at it."

"You're right."

"I know I'm right. And now I'm gonna give you the greatest gift anyone has ever given you. I am gonna change you from the butcher you are into a master, by giving you a cause. What if, together, we could create a universe where death could no longer be found?"

Avocato scoffed at the idea. "Does that even exist?"

"With your help, it can." The Lord Commander floated upward with his arms stretched out. "I've heard the cries of this galaxy. They yearn for a savior, and with you as my number two, I will finally reveal myself to them! There will be those who'll resist, which is why I need you. Ventrexians are the fiercest warriors in the galaxy. And you, Avocato, are the fiercest of them all."

The Ventrexian general thought of it. Then, he gave the telekinetic midget tyrant his answer. "Where do we begin?"

"Give me Ventrexia. I want the bodies of the king and queen!"

Avocato took his gun and left.

Bolo grunted as Oreskis punched him in the face. "Mooncake, now!"

"Chookity POK!" Mooncake fired his laser, blasting Oreskis through three planets.

"Tight."

Suddenly, Oreskis got back up and breathed fire at them before he clashed swords with Bolo again. Bolo growled, "How did you become Invictus' lapdog?"

"Invictus liberated us from our bonds!" He slashed Bolo in the shoulder. "We built all of this by our backs. We laid dimension after dimension. For what?"

"So life could thrive!"

In response, Oreskis stabbed Bolo in the shoulder with his sword and pinned him to a moon. "The Arachnitects were enslaving us! WAKE UP!" Bolo yelled as he plunged the sword deeper. "Why can't you see what Invictus has done for us?"

Bolo gritted his teeth as he grabbed the blade. "All you've done is trade one master for another."

"It seems there is no convincing you." Oreskis ripped the sword out as Bolo headbutted him. "Then through death you will join us."

"I am detecting massive energy spikes from Mooncake's location. If I had to guess, Mooncake and Bolo are fighting a Titan," reported HUE.

Gary exclaimed, "Did you say a Titan? What the hell has gotten into Mooncake's head?!"

The holographic map started to fizzle as Biskit began playing with it. "Biskitty, leave the map alone," scolded Fly. He hissed at her in response.

Quinn sighed. "Gary, I haven't told you everything I've wanted to..."

"Please! I've been so afraid to push, but I can't take it anymore!"

Before Quinn could respond, Biskit got in between them and asked, "Hey Gary! I got a question. Are you content with the amount of non-sexual affection in your relationship? Like hugs, hand hugs, fist bumps, and whatnot"

"You're not all up there are you?"

"Raawwwwwrr!"

"Well, that answered your question, Gary," said Fly.

"Right. We should get ready," said Quinn as she left the bridge.

"Wait, Quinn. Wait, Quinn! Quinn, wait!" But Gary was too late. She left. "Dang it! Way to go little dude. I was this close to breaking through to Quinn." Then the cookie vendor came back. "Don't start with me. DON'T START!"

"Fly, Gary," said HUE. "I am detecting another life form with Bolo and Mooncake. It's Cetus."

Hearing that, Gary and Fly's fists tightened. "So, she's here?" Fly pulled out her gun. "Good. Time to settle this."

Avocato screamed as the Lord Commander continued his torture. "You know, Avocato, this can all end before your boy finds out. Just tell me what I want. Yes?" Avocato spat at him. "Argh! Will you quit spitting in my face?!"

Everyone laughed. "Avocato did you dirty there," taunted Fox.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I gave you an out, but now it's time to finish the story."

It was a surprise attack. Nobody knew where they came from. The king and queen and all their servants had to evacuate the palace to the escape pods. "Are you scared?" the queen asked her husband. In her arms was a small bundle.

"Trust," said the king. "We're going to make it."

"How can you be sure?"

"Because Avocato fights with us." As the escape pod took off, the king and queen looked out the window to see Avocato. "Look there's Avocato now." But relief turned to confusion, then to horror when they saw their hero point the rocket launcher he was carrying right at them.

"Dad, you killed them?" asked Little Cato, shocked.

"It wasn't your fault," insisted Ash. "That hose bag mind freaked you!"

"I know," Avocato said. "But I pulled the trigger."

"How could you," Little Cato asked.

"I'm sorry. I'll never forgive myself. And you shouldn't either. But I promise you, I've tried to right that wrong in ways you'll never understand."

The Lord Commander narrowed his eyes at Avocato. "You really don't know where Mooncake is, do you?" With a growl, he released his telekinetic grip on him.

Sheryl looked out the window and had one thing to ask, "What in the bloody hellscape is this?" Outside was a black and purple void with creatures bound to asteroids and writhing in agony.

The Lord Commander responded, "This... Is our destination for your rendezvous with Invictus."

Back at the Galaxy 2, Gary, Fly and Quinn were in the locker room, changing into their EVA suits for when they go out to find Mooncake. And possibly fight Cetus, but Fly was more into that.

"Gary, you know when Biskit brought up sleeping together and it got super awkward," asked Quinn.

"I do remember that vividly, which is why Biskit must go ASAPP," said Gary.

"YOU'RE NOT GETTING RID OF BISKITTY," Fly screamed demonically.

"AAAHH! Jesus, Fly!"

"I just want you to know, it's not that I don't see a life together. It's just..." Quinn didn't finish her sentence.

"What?"

"What if one of us dies before that ever happens?"

Gary put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, we made it this far, so I think we're good."

"I don't mean us. I mean me."

"Quinn, are you dying?" Fly asked bluntly.

"No! I...I'm just being hypothetical." She shook her head and exhaled. "I don't know. Maybe I'm just worrying too much."

"You worry?" asked Gary. "I worry all the time. And I never tell you because I'm too busy worrying. But you must verbally let me know, because I am terrible, terrible at signals."

Quinn chuckled. "Oh, I know."

"Maybe if you did, like, a 'caw-caaaawww!' Or, like, the sound of a butterfly playing an angelic harp, ya know?"

Quinn chuckled again. "What does that sound like?"

"Screeee-scroooooh-oooooo!"

"Yeah, I heard an animal once do that, but then they rolled him over; he was dead," deadpanned Fly.

"Fly, stop trying to ruin the moment!"

Quinn said, "It's fine. It's beautiful."

"I know it's beautiful," said Gary.

Quinn kissed him on the cheek and said, "How 'bout we make a deal? You stop worrying, and I'll do my best, too. Let's go get Mooncake."

"Invictus," shouted Bolo. "Prepare to have one less ally!"

Oreskis spat out blood. "Bring it." Suddenly, an energy beam trapped him before the two could clash again. "Cetus!" He turned to see the cyborg girl generating the energy. "You...traitor! You said -!"

"I lied. My goal is to devour ALL Titans in order to gain the power to devour Invictus. You are no exception."

Oreskis let out as scream of agony as he felt his body begin to compress and shrink down.

"NO!" screamed Bolo. He tried to stop her, but he could only watch as Oreskis was crushed into a pellet and was eaten by Cetus. "No..."

"Look at it this way," Cetus chuckled. "Now you no longer have to get upset over that limp dick ravaging your whore, Jill."

Bolo let out a scream of rage and tried to bring the sword down on her head, but she blocked it with her hands. Unfortunately for her, this left her defenseless as Mooncake fired his laser at her and sent her flying. Bolo caught her and slowly began to squeeze her. "You! You took away my vengeance!" Cetus fired a laser of her own into the wound in his shoulder, forcing him to let go. Then she took off with her jet pack.

"This isn't over!" shouted Bolo. "Your insane goal won't be fulfilled the way you want it!" Then he collapsed to his knees and put a hand on his wound. "Goodbye, old friend."

Suddenly, at that moment, a ship came out of lightspeed. Its door opened and Mooncake immediately recognized the life forms inside. "Gar? Fly?"

"Mooncake!" they exclaimed.

"Gar! Fly! Gar! Fly!" The little green blob immediately flew up to them and gave them a hug.

"My little squishy," cried Fly. "Why didn't you come look for us?"

"Chookity pok!"

Gary couldn't believe what he just heard. "What?" He said angrily to Bolo, "Dude! You told Mooncake I was dead?!"

"My revenge blinded me. It was the only way I knew Mooncake would leave your side. We want the same thing, Gary. To defeat Invictus."

"No, we don't! We want to get out of final space. So you know what? Stay the hell away from us."

"Oooooh," whimpered Mooncake.

"Did I go too far? Crap. I went too far, didn't I?"

"Yes, you did, Gary," said Bolo. "I'm trying here. Really trying! I've been in... I've been in a cube for, uh... I don't know how long. But long! And I'm..."

"Shut up," growled Fly. "Don't you DARE talk about being imprisoned in front of us! You think you got it bad?! Try being stuck in a time shard, in a coma for sixty years, watching your boy go insane from isolation AND THEN TALK TO ME ABOUT BEING IN A CUBE FOR GOD KNOWS HOW LONG!"

"Uh, Fly... I think you overdid it."

Bolo punched a nearby meteor in anger and shouted, "That doesn't compare to what I went through! At least you had Little Cato! I was ALL ALOOOOONE! With nothing but my thoughts! Your imprisonment was NOTHING compared to mine!"

"I get it! I got heated. Sorry."

Gary stepped in between them. "I mean, maybe we just take some time to cool off, huh? How 'bout that, bug man?"

Bolo pointed the sword at him. "Don't you quit on me."

"You do you, and we're gonna go find Avocato and the others."

"You do you, and we're gonna go find Avocato and the others. I'll go... Uh, continue weakening Invictus' army. He will not win this."

Mooncake gave him an angry, "Chookity-pok-pok!" before entering the ship with Gary and Quinn. But Fly stayed behind and said, "I really am sorry, Bolo."

"It's fine. Water under the bridge."

"Yeah." She kicked a pebble before asking, "Where is she? Where is my daughter?"

"Cetus is gone. She devoured another Titan. And she's gaining power as she does so. I HAVE to destroy Invictus' army to keep her from obtaining the power to consume Invictus!"

"Trust me," Fly said as she entered the ship. "She won't."

As the Galaxy 2 engaged lightfold, Bolo inspected the wound on his shoulder. "It's glowing. Crap! I don't have long."

As the Lord Commander escorted the prisoners to Invictus, Little Cato said defiantly, "We're not like you. We'll never betray each other."

The Lord Commander laughed with a snort. "Really? What makes you say that?"

"I don't have to know the answer to be right. My father survived you. And as long as he's still here. I know I will be, too."

"And what would Fly say if she knew?"

"She'd be angry at first, but she'll understand. She's my mother."

The Lord Commander laughed again, loudly. "Mother?! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! She's picking up strays?! Trying to make amends for what happened with Cetus?! That fool!"

"She's doing a decent job so far! Right, Dad?"

Avocato didn't respond. Because he and the Lord Commander didn't finish the story.

After he gunned down the escape pod, Avocato walked toward the wreckage and collapsed to his knees. "What have I done?" His grieving was interrupted when he heard an infant's cries. He followed the sound and found a bundle. He picked it up and found... "They...they had a child!"

The babe looked up at him, smiled and held his arms up. "You... You remind me of a son I used to have." Avocato let the babe suckle on his finger and made a vow. "I swear, even if I have to give up my own life to protect you, I'm gonna keep you safe."

Suddenly, the Lord Commander appeared behind him and saw what he was holding. "Whatcha got there? Is that their child?"

"No. He's... he's my son."

"Are you sure you want that little thing to come between us?"

"I gave you Ventrexia. This is my payment."

"That boy will be the death of you," growled the Lord Commander.

Avocato named the babe Little Cato.

"Dad, look, I-I hate that you killed them, but at least now everything is out in the open."

A single tear dropped from Avocato's eye. Then he glared at the smiling Lord Commander and walked forward. "Yeah. Now you know everything."

As Fly laid on the bed, holding the objects in her hand, she heard the door open before pocketing them. "Quinn, what's wrong?"

"You were right," said Quinn, taking off her jacket and revealing the yellow veins. "I am dying."

Fly gasped. "Quinn! What happened...?"

"Shh! This is what happens when you stay in Final Space for too long. Nothing from our reality is supposed to live out here! I didn't want Gary to know. Not like this!"

Fly realized, "That's why you didn't want Gary to come here in the first place, didn't you?" Quinn didn't respond. "We...we can fix this, right?"

"I don't know." Quinn grabbed her by the shoulders. "Fly, please don't tell Gary!"

"Quinn, Gary flipped out when he found out I kept the fact that Cetus' father was John Goodspeed a secret. How do you think he's going to react when he finds out i kept THIS a secret?!"

"...Gary's father...is Cetus' father? You raped...?!"

"Not the point! Quinn, you have to tell Gary!"

"I will!"

"When?! When you're at death's door?!"

"No! I promise! I will tell him! I just...need the right words." Quinn entered the bathroom and slammed the door close. Fly definitely heard crying.

At that moment, Mooncake came in. "Chookity-pok?" Fly, with tears in her eyes, grabbed ahold of Mooncake and pulled him into a hug. Though startled and confused at first, he returned the hug. "Mmmm. Pok. Pok."

"I broke the rules and built your home on rotten ground," she sang. "But always know the day. The day will come."
