Chap. 7 Hophter's Decision
Hophter, on his way to Pontion like he promised, began to think about turning around and going back for Bonatha. She doesn't have any protection except Janus. If she is caught, he'll lose her forever. That thought alone made him slow the hover bike. If he lost her, he would feel like a part of himself was lost.
Suddenly, there was a bright light ahead. It was coming towards him, FAST. Then, he heard the comet laughing! When it got closer, he realized it was Galaxo. HE WAS LOOKING FOR BONATHA! That made up his mind. When the light veered towards another solar system, he headed back to Earth.
Bonatha didn't have to know he was watching out for her. He would become something else, another identity. He could use the crest he got when he was born. Vilda told him that all the men in her family had used it's powers for... transforming into something. She'd said it depended on your heart, what was in it. He only knew that he loved Bonatha enough to follow her to the ends of the universe.
He had to trust himself. He needed to keep his focus. He couldn't let anyone know who he was.
He wondered what he would turn into. Then he remembered the Tuxedo Mask. The Tuxedo Mask's bride to be was the Moon Princess, so he, being the Galaxy Princess's groom to be, it should work the same way. He didn't care as long as he could help her.
He was willing to be there, for Bonatha.
