Chapter one:


Five years later…


Gary in his human form trudged through the prairie grass with his butterfly friends by his side, somewhat troubled by that distant memory.

"The last? Me? No way, not possible." Gary muttered to himself as he heard HUE come online.

"IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG, GARY?" The AI of this world wondered.

"HUE this sound ridiculous, but the people who came here five years ago, they think I'm the last Titan there is." Gary chuckled a bit as walked towards the lake.

"WELL, ARE YOU NOT?" HUE questioned.

"What? No! That's crap, HUE. My dad told me that Titans can't die. They've been around since the beginning. They're older than time, older than space itself. True, I've never seen one and true they disappeared a long time ago… But…"

The blond hair man then stared down into the lake, not seeing his human face in the reflection but his Titan form. Doubt was clear on his face as the water rippled from the petals kissing the lake's liquid surface.

"Dad, am I really the last?" Gary questioned as he looked up towards the sky.

He hoped that something would respond back but nothing did. He sighed as he looked down at the water.

"GARY, PERHAPS IT WOULD BE BETTER TO RETURN TO THE CABIN?" HUE suggested as the weary Titan did so.


In space…

A strange little green creature was flying in space, looking for a place of sanctuary.

He spotted a green lush planet, radiating with beauty and protection. The perfect place to hide.


On the Planet…

Gary was turning on his video diary as he got settled in.

"H-hey, Quinn. It's me, Gary. You know, the guy from that planet you and your crew were stranded on. I was checking up, letting you know what's been up with my life…"

He was soon lost in his own words as he couldn't help but shake this feeling in his heart.

"Hey Quinn, you don't think I'm the last one too, right?" Gary asked knowing that he wouldn't get a response.

Then after saying goodbye, he turned off his message and sent it into space. Soon the bell rang for dinner as HUE presented the well-balanced meal programed into his system, steamed salmon, veggies, egg sandwich and a cookie with a drink of blended fruits. He picked at his food as he didn't feel all that hungry right now. To make matters worse.

"HEY GARY!" Chuckled the annoying Insanity Avoidance Companion as he wrapped his arms around the annoyed blond then making it for another cookie in the vending machine, "Ooh, Cookie~."

The annoying little robot then took out a cookie from the machine and shoved it in his slot unit, irritating Gary.

"HUE?" Gary wondered to his AI.

"YES, GARY?"

"Can I have another cookie?"

"HMM… NO GARY. MY OBJECTIVE IS TO KEEP YOU HEALTHY AND SAFE ON THIS PLANET. MORE THAN ONE COOKIE PER WEEK CAN BE UNHEALTHY." HUE explained.

"Come on, HUE! Just one little cookie, I mean KVN gets cookies and he can't even eat cookies! He just shoves them into his slot processor!" Gary shouted with anger in his voice, "Why did Dad ever decided to buy him for me!"

Gary then took a deep breath and left the table after cleaning his plate.

"I need to clear my head."


In the forest…

Then the man left his small metal home then left in his Titan form to frolic in the meadows and speak with his butterfly friends.

They led him to the pool, and he noticed his reflection in the clear blue water. He then changed back into a man as he felt more alone than ever. He missed his father, he missed Mooncake and he didn't even know any other titans. He wished he could have friends other than the robots and the woodland creatures he protects.

Not that there was something wrong with HUE or the woodland creatures, but he wanted someone to talk to that didn't growl, purr or make an observation about his health. He wanted to meet people again, have friends outside this planet.

Suddenly, something was falling from the sky. At first, he thought it was a shooting star but then it began to get closer and closer until…

"POK!"

It landed right on his face!

"IT'S EATING MY FACE! IT'S EATING MY FACE! IT'S A FACE-EATER!" Gary screamed as he tried to get it off him, but then realized the creature wasn't trying to hurt him.

"Oh, you're not a Face-Eater. You're a Face-Hugger. I could use a Face-Hugger in my life." The blond man spoke with warmth as he hugged his green little round friend.

Though this little guy seemed more animal-like, he must've seen many things outside this world, and he wasn't made to keep him hidden. The green creature reminded him of a friend he once knew. A friend once since passed a long time ago.

"What do you think of the name Mooncake?" Gary suggested as his little buddy spoke in a strange language.

"Okay, Mooncake it is. Why not I show you around my home?" The blond asked as he gave a tour for his newest friend, not knowing what was coming.


Outside the planet's orbit…

A band of ships were arriving to the planet, Gareth's Hideaway as the heat signature of the creature led the trail.

"Oh no." One of them gasped through the communicators, "Whelp, looks like E-351 is gone. Looks like we'll need to report back."

"Not a chance. Our mission is to capture the specimen, we can't risk failure." Another voice ordered from the leading ship.

"But this planet belongs to a Titan, the last titan to be more precise. He protects everything in his domain, and nothing is ever found." A third voice warned with stutters in his voice.

"Titan or not, we're getting that snot ball or die trying. Let's move out." The fourth voice ordered as they docked for the planet.


In the cabin on the planet…

Gary was finding some apples for his newest little friend as he set up a place for him.

Mooncake swooned as he swallowed the apples. Gary chuckled at his newest little friend's antics as heard HUE beeping.

"GARY, MY SENSORS DETECT AN UNREGISTERED LIFEFORM WITHIN THE CABIN." HUE spoke as it scanned Mooncake, "I ADVISED YOU THAT BE CAUTIOUS, IT COULD BE DANGEROUS."

"Relax, HUE, Mooncake won't hurt anybody. He's my new little buddy." Gary smiled as he hugged his friend but soon the moment was over when KVN hovered in.

"Chookity!" Mooncake smiled, "Chookity-pok."

Gary laughed at his cute little friends' antics but as he was the red alert alarm came on.

"Ahh… HUE? What's going on?" Gary questioned.

"SHIPS DETECTED. THEY APPEARED TO BE HEAVILY ARMED AND DANGEROUS. PREPARING FOR DEFENCE, CODE GUARDIAN." The AI ordered as the wires of the cabin came to life, "PREPARING DEFENCE, PROTECT GARY GOODSPEED."

The wires led to a chamber where one hundred pods were installed as they activated and emerging from the pods, were an army of S.A.M.E.S. emerged. Just as they were a trap door opened and Gary fell below and Mooncake the ever-loyal companion followed him to wherever it would go.


Somewhere in the forest…

A group of bounty hunters were in search of the wanted specimen as they tried to make it through the clearing.

As they were, one of them began to sing quietly, "When the last Fredgar flies over the last crumbling mountain. And the last Tigrion roars at the last dusty fountain. In the shadow of the forest though he may be old and gleiten…."

The leading member of the bounty hunters huffed, "What are you doing?"

"I am singing the hymn of the Last Titan to appease him. That way he can show us the way to E-351 and let us leave."

"I doubt it would work."

"Well, we better do something to appease him."

"But what if there is no Titan?"

Suddenly, they hear something rustling in the bushes… As they prepared their weapons to whomever it was. Then coming from the bushes and trees, came an army of Robots.


From the Emergency Bunk Shelter…

Gary tumbled down until he reached the soft padding as his buddy Mooncake was not too far behind.

"What the heck, HUE? We have guests up there!" He shouted.

"THEY ARE NOT GUESTS, GARY. THEY ARE HOSTILE INTRUDERS. YOU MUST REMAIN HERE WHERE IT IS SAFE." The AI explained as the cameras showed the battle that was going on in the forest and the S.A.M.E.S. were losing.

They would soon find them.

"HUE, we need to lightfold the planet!" Gary advised as he ran down the hall.

"GARY, WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO LIGHTFOLD THE PLANET AND WITHOUT THE PROPER COORDINATES, WHO KNOWS WHAT SOLAR SYSTEM WE WILL LAND." HUE pointed out as Gary opened a steel door, reaching the power room.

"Don't worry, HUE. I got plenty of power to spare." The blond smirked as he transformed from a man into a titan again.

"Woooahhh!" Mooncake squeaked at his changing friend as he walked on all fours to the power sphere.

"It's still me, little buddy. I just turned into my second form." Gary assured as the sphere closed around him.

"GARY, THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA-."

"Don't worry HUE, my little forest buddies have my protection and we'll be away from whoever is attacking us," Gary assured, taking a deep breath after.

Suddenly, his eyes began to glow, the glow then manifested all over his fur as he looked like a living star. His power was soon able to power the planet as everyone above felt it! The planet began to shake as the Lightfold machinery was summoned!


On the topside of the planet…

The bounty hunters kept blasting the robot until they noticed the strange sounds coming from above!

They spotted the strange machinery to be the required parts to lightfold!

"THE PLANET'S GONNA LIGHTFOLD!? EVERYONE RETREAT!"

"WHAT NO!"

The group soon began to leave and abandon ship. Only one ship was able to escape before the Lightfold, many were killed, and one was stuck on the planet due to their ship destroyed! Soon the entire planet Lightfolded away into another sector of the galaxy!

Gary reemerged from the capsule sphere, exhausted and drained of most of his strength as his green little buddy, Mooncake prevented him from falling to the ground.

"Thanks, Little Buddy. I'm okay though, just a little tired..." Gary weakly assured as Mooncake was able to bring Gary back on his own two feet.

"GARY, THE ENTIRE PLANET IS IN DANGER."

"What? What's going on, HUE?"

HUE then showed a projection of what was happening outside the planet then zooming on a cluster of meteorites heading towards the planet.

"THE PLANET WILL BE PERMINATELY DAMAGED IF THE THREAT IS NOT DEALT WITH." HUE warned him as Mooncake whimpered with sorrow.

"Okay HUE, lightfold again! I'll get into the-…" Gary began but then stumbled a bit from the exhaustion of using his powers the last time.

"WE CANNOT LIGHTFOLD, GARY. THE ENGINES ARE DAMAGED AND YOU LACK THE ENERGY TO POWER IT."

"Okay then, I'll use the last bit of my powers to blast those rocks away from my home." Gary Goodspeed proclaimed as he rushed to the giant tarped over object with Mooncake, curious and confuse following him.

"NO GARY. THAT IS FAR TOO DANGEROUS FOR YOU TO LEAVE THIS PLANET." HUE warned as Gary pulled back the tarp to reveal a dust-covered ship.

"We don't have much time. This is my world and the creatures that live here are my responsibility. I have to protect them." Gary explained as he climbed into the ship with Mooncake following him.

"Chookity-pok. Pok. Pok. Pok." Mooncake spoked in his alien tongue.

"Thanks Mooncake, I need all the help I could get." Gary thanked as he launched into space to stop the meteors.

Gary emerged from the ship in his spacesuit as he was ready to destroy the rocks and save his planet.

"GARY, YOU HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE TO STOP THE METEORS. YOUR POWERS ARE DRAINED GREATLY SO YOU NEED TO GET IN PERFECT PROXIMITY OF THE METEORS. IF YOU ARE TOO FAR, YOUR POWER WILL NOT REACH-IT, TOO CLOSE AND YOU WILL BE KILLED." HUE warned as Gary got ready to use his power, "YOU ONLY HAVE TWENTY PERCENT CHANCE OF SUCCESS."

"I'll beat those odds, HUE," Gary promised as he tried to channel his power one last time.

He didn't notice the small meteor coming at his oxygen tube and cutting through it until it was too late.

"GARY, YOUR OXYGEN TANK IS LEAKING. AT ITS CURRENT RATE, YOU WILL RUN OUT OF AIR BEFORE YOU ARE ABLE TO STOP THE METEORS. RETURN TO THE PLANET." HUE ordered the young Titan.

"No, I can do this," Gary assured as he felt a little light-headed.

He charged up his power as he began to see illusions from the lack of air.

He saw his father there with Mooncake the caterpillar.

Gary was still charging as the meteors were coming.

He saw his father coming.

The meteors were getting closer and closer.

He then saw his father leave on a spaceship that disappeared in an explosion!

"Dad! No!" Gary screamed as he fired too soon with the last of his breath.

"GARY, YOU HAVE FAILED," HUE informed as Gary passed out.

All seemed lost.

But then Mooncake came between him and the meteors and with one breath.

BOOM!

Mooncake blasted forth a powerful blast and destroyed the meteors into dust!


Sometime later…

Gary awoke to see that he was in a hospital bed with the S.A.M.E.S. given him a good checkup.

"Huh? I'm alive?" Gary questioned as he looked around while his little buddy curled up into his chest, "Hah! Told you I could do it, HUE! Didn't died up there!"

"ACTUALLY GARY, YOU DID DIE, FOR FIVE MINUTES. AND IT WASN'T YOU BUT YOUR LITTLE FRIEND." HUE explained.

"Mooncake? Little Buddy, you saved me! Thank you!" Gary smiled as he hugged his green friend.

He soon noticed that KVN was going to ruin the moment and growled at him to leave. The insanity companion chuckled nervously and backed away. But as they were celebrating, the red alert alarm came back on. The S.A.M.E.S. rushed into battle as Gary led the way, when he opened the bunker and the front door to the cabin, a cat man was there, ready to blast him!

"Hand. Over. E-351." He hissed at him.

"Well, I have one question for you," Gary growled as both squinted at each other.

"Do you play cards?" Gary questioned playfully as the cat man dropped his weapon.

Behind Gary was an army of robots to protect him.


Moments later…

"Hey Quinn, guest what? I finally left my planet for the first time in years and I made two friends. This is Mooncake, my little green buddy." Gary introduced in his diary as Mooncake squeaked then Gary turned the camera to the handcuffed cat-man with cards in his mouth, "And the awesome Bounty Hunter is Avocato."

Avocato spat the cards out and snarled at the human.

"So, the legend of the Titan was a lie? I was duped into believing that there was a threat." Avocato questioned.

"Well, I'm not really a threat but check this out." Gary smiled as he transformed into a titan, scaring Avocato.

"Pretty cool, huh?" Gary smiled with his little buddy on top of his head.

"You're the Titan?" The bounty hunter gasped as Gary picked him up.

"You have no idea what's going on, huh? Especially with that planet-killer and you?" Avocato questioned him.

"Hey, don't talk about my buddy, cat man."

"I am not a cat. I am Ventrexian."

"Whatever you say, Mr. Whiskers." Gary laughed as Avocato growled.

"Listen to me. You are in serious danger. If the Lord Commander finds out what you have and what you are, you won't stand a chance!" He warned the titan who turned back into a man.

"Lord Commander? Who's that?" Gary wondered.


In Tera Con Prime…

"I will find you, E-351. No matter where you are…" A dark and sinister voice vowed and began to laugh evilly.
