"You have 7 minutes of oxygen left, Gary."

"Phew. Look, it's Carl. Carl, how's life?"

"Carl is dead, Gary.

Classic Carl. That bastard owes me 25 bucks."

"Mayday, mayday!"

"Can you clean that up, HUE?"

"I can try. There is quite a bit of interference."

"We need help!"

"Any idea who it is?"

"No, Gary. I'm afraid not."

"Well, maybe I can help these... Actually, I'll just chill over here."

Somewhere in an unknown location, Little Cato was passing his time beatboxing when he heard something in the air vent. "For you!" said a voice. A communicator popped out of the vent and landed in his lap. "This will help."

"What is this? Who's there?" There was no response. Little Cato pushed the communicator on when he heard the guard coming. Quickly, he hid it in his shirt.

A huge, gray cyclops alien walked into the cell and sneered at him. "Your father is a coward!"

Little Cato growled, "My father will come for me, and he will kill you if I don't first."

He was about to attack the guard when he suddenly said, "Do I need to bring Cetus in here?" Little Cato's eyes widened then he sat back down. "As I thought." The guard left.

Little Cato rubbed his back, feeling the scars Cetus gave him after "taking her anger out" on him. His hands trembled with anger and hate. He will kill them. Her and the Lord Commander.

Galaxy 1

"Quinn, do I look any different? I should because you're looking at the most wanted man in the galaxy. Oh, look who it is! Avocato, come say hi to Quinn."

"No."

"He's a bit of a grouch, but his son has been kidnapped. Yeah. I know. Anyways, big development! I have a robot arm. Look at this! Oh, my god! How do I... Ahh! Ahh! Oh!"

Fly exited her room when she saw Gary fighting his robot arm and...was completely naked. "I'm going back."

Gary managed to control the robot arm and went back to his video diary. "I think that's all I have for you today. Uh... give me a call, Quinn. Oh, I almost forgot. In four days, I'm a free man. What do you say when I turn..."

Suddenly, the whole ship shook and alarms started blaring. "Proximity alert. Proximity alert," droned HUE. "Gary, we are taking fire from the Lord Commander's heavy incinerators."

Gary, Fly, Avocato and Mooncake rushed to the bridge, but not before Mooncake wrapped a towel around Gary's waist (and got a full view of Gary's manhood in the process). Gary managed to hold onto the steering wheel and said, "Grab it firm. What do we do, HUE?"

"Calculating. I am detecting an incursion in our proximity."

"A what?"

"A temporal worm, Gary. It's your only option."

"I heard about those things," said Fly. "A temporal worm could send us backwards or forwards thousands of years in time, Gary. Are you sure that's the only choice we have?" she asked HUE.

"Feed us to it!"

"Wait, Gary! That didn't answer my question!"

Too late. The ship fly straight into the worm's mouth as soon as it appeared. Instead of an esophagus, the ship was in a tunnel of multiple colors. The G-Force was so strong, it forced everyone into the wall. And unfortunately, KVN saw Gary's buttocks in the process. "Mm, pressed hams."

In an instant, the ship was out of the tunnel and everyone fell to the ground. "That was wondrous!" cheered Gary.

Fly covered her eyes. "Oh cover your shame, man!"

Avocato agreed as he said, "How about covering up that dick situation you've got going there? Jeez." Mooncake seemed to agree as he handed Gary the towel.

"In good time," said Gary. "Speaking of which, when are we?" Mooncake poked him with the towel. He sighed and put it on. "Happy?"

"Gary, we have jumped four days into the future," informed HUE.

Gary's eyes widened. "Wait. What? That means my last four days of jail are up."

Fly crossed her eyes and grumbled. "Lucky."

Gary ran over to the vending machine and tried to get a cookie. "Open sesame! Unlock my bounty!"

A hologram of a sentencing appeared in front of Gary as HUE said, "Clause nine of your imprisonment stipulates that all time-related disruptions have zero effect on your sentence."

"What? So no chocolate treasure coins?"

"Are you referring to cookies, Gary?"

"Yes!"

"Oh, then no."

"This is a load, HUE, a load!"

"You dropped this," Fly said as she wrapped the towel back on him. "Seriously, put your clothes back on!"

"Fine! Happy?"

The two of them went to the commissary and found Avocato waiting for them. "Listen, Gary and Fly. We're marked targets, and no matter what hole we hide in, the Lord Commander will find us in our hole and take Mooncake from that hole. I know that's a whole lot of holes, but we're in a whole lot of trouble."

"But we're on a ship," pointed out Fly.

"It's a metaphor!"

Gary asked, "HUE?"

"Avocato is correct," the A.I. said.

Everyone looked at a sad Mooncake. They all knew what needed to be done.

"We need to hide him until we figure things out," Avocato said. He brought up a holographic map and circled one particular planet. "Look. I've heard of a place that safeguards fugitives. The closest one is on Yarno. No one will find him there."

Gary thought it over. Yes. It was for the best. "HUE, spool up the engines. We're going to Yarno."

Tera Con Prime Sector 18650

Inside the temple of the Order of the Twelve, the Lord Commander and Cetus approached a large, gray alien with eyes floating around its featureless face. "Helper Hula, I've always respected the Order of the 12 being the eyes of the universe," the Lord Commander said before roaring, "Where is E 35-1?!" Suddenly, he fell to his knees and coughed violently.

"My Lord Commander," Cetus shouted, rushing up to him and helping him up.

Helper Hula stated the obvious, "Ah! You're dying!"

The Lord Commander sarcastically said, "Dying? Really, genius? I know I'm dying!"

"Every time you use your light, you quicken your own death."

"That's why he needs Mooncake, or whatever that idiot calls him," growled the Lord Commander. "I need him to live. Tell me where he is."

"Patience," Helper Hula said. He suddenly fell to his knees and cried out in pain as his eyes exploded with the sound of gunfire. Cetus glared at him as she pointed her gun at him. "That wasn't very helpful," she snarled.

"Cetus!" The Lord Commander used his powers to force her onto her knees. "I did not order you to shoot him!" He suddenly began coughing blood.

"My Lord Commander..." Cetus reached for him, but he swatted her hand away.

"I AM FINE!"

"Yes. You are. Forgive me, my Lord Commander."

The small tyrant just growled before turning his attention to the Helper. "You will find him for me, or next time I finish the job. Oh, and trust me, I won't be as merciful as Cetus." He smirked at her. "Everything she knows, I taught her."

Yarno

The Galaxy 1 landed in the slums of a city and when they left the ship, they were greeted by an alien. "Gworplo!" he greeted. "I'm Zargon Tukalishi, and welcome to Yarn..."

Before he could finish his sentence, another alien appeared and ripped his head and spinal cord out of his body. "I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DEATHCROPOLIS!" he screamed before Fly shot him in the face.

"That was annoying," she said.

Avocato looked around, a little nervous. "Looks like they've made some changes around here."

"You don't say, because the Deathcropolis just sounded like a lovely church picnic," Gary said sarcastically. Mooncake made an afraid sound. "Don't worry, Mooncake. We got this," Gary said as he placed the little blob in his backpack.

The group went down the street and passed a shady looking street vendor. "Moonobumps," the guy running the vendor called out. "Homemade moonobumps."

"Oh, sweet! They're just handing out free candy!"

"Gary, no!" Fly shouted.

Too late. He took a bite of the food and his eyes began dilating. He fell to the ground and laughed like an idiot. Avocato tackled the alien before turning his attention to Gary. "Only one way to stop this!" He pulled out a dart and injected it into Gary's chest.

Instantly, he snapped out of his stupor. "I feel so replenished. Oh, wow." Then he saw the dart. "Oh! Just what is this?! There's a dart sticking out of my chesticles!"

"Can you not take crap from weird alien skeevoids?" Avocato scolded him.

"Noted. Do not take crap from skeevoids."

They were about to leave when they saw Fly stealing the alien's merchandise. "Hey," Avocato shouted. "What did I tell him?"

"Please," Fly said. "I've been snorting space angel dust for years. This stuff is tame compared to that."

Avocato made a concerned face.

Meanwhile, Quinn was investigating the strange anomalies in space. "There's a quantum gravitational disturbance emanating two parsecs from Jupiter. If my math is right, all our lives might depend..."

Suddenly, a hologram of Tribor appeared. "Quinn, it's Triborn. Don't worry. I'm at your place. Everything is okay, but super bad news. You're not going to like it. In fact, I don't know what happened to all the like. Where did all the like go?"

"Tell me already!" Quinn shouted impatiently.

"I will tell you, already. Superior Stone dispatched an Imperium cruiser yesterday to apprehend you because you kind of broke a lot of laws, like 47 laws."

Wait, what?! "Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"

"Why didn't I tell you sooner? That is the question, isn't it? The answer, I've been busy."

Quinn realized Tribor was wearing jewelry and makeup. HER jewelry and makeup! "Are you touching my stuff?"

"Why would I be touching your stuff. It makes me look so dreamy and beautiful. I would never be touching your beautiful stuff."

Suddenly, the ship's AI said, "Quinn, an Imperium cruiser is closing in on your position." Quinn growled. Why can't people tell her these things sooner?!

Yarno

"This is the place, Gary and Fly," Avocato said as he wiped off dirt and revealed a blue glowing symbol in the ground.

"This is the place? This, right here, is the place? I'm not going down there."

Suddenly, the ground slowly began to sink, revealing itself to be an elevator platform. As the platform lowered into some sort of hidden facility, a recorded voice said, "Welcome, friends, to the Order of 12 Yarno chapter...a representative will meet you shortly."

Suddenly, a gray alien in a robe appeared behind them. "How can I -" SMACK! "OW!"

"Don't sneak up on a girl like that," Fly shouted.

"I was just trying to help!"

"Oh. Sorry."

"Are you a Helper?" Avocato asked the alien.

"Oh, no. I assist the Helpers.

"So you're a Helper-Helper?" Gary asked.

They reached the ground floor and the Helper's assistant said, "I will tell him you have...arrived." And he disappeared through a wall.

"Guy straight up ghosted through that wall," Gary said.

"Live with it," said Avocato.

"I can't. The guy just ghosted through that wall, yo." He suddenly let out a yelp when a tall alien with four eyes floating around his featureless head put its hands on his shoulders.

"How can I help?" it asked. "We love to help."

"Thanks," Gary said. He showed his backpack to the Helper. "Well, we need to find a safe place for my little buddy."

"Sorry. We're at capacity." But when Mooncake came out of the backpack, it had a change of tune. "But we could always squeeze in one more." It tried to reach for Mooncake. "Such a precious specimen."

Mooncake wisely hid behind Gary's back as he said, "Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. C-Can you say that just a little less creepy-like?" The Helper made a very disturbing smile. "Okay, I guess not."

"I don't like this, Gary," said Fly. "Maybe we should find someplace else."

"There is no someplace else," the Helper said.

"I guess," said Gary. "Mooncake."

"Chookity?"

"No one's saying goodbye, here. Okay? I'll be back as soon as I can. It's only temporary. I promise."

"Chookity-pock." He hugged Gary's face.

"I still don't like this," Fly said.

Avocato put a hand on her shoulder. "Fly, he'll be fine. He can take care of himself."

Mooncake flew over to her. "Mooncake..." He hugged her face. "...don't go..."

"By the way," Gary said. "I never got your name, Mister..."

"Stevil," said the Helper.

Alarm bells instantly rang in Fly's head. She grabbed Mooncake and held him close. "Okay, anyone with the word 'evil' in their name is not trustworthy!"

"Stevil is a bit alarming," said Avocato, now worried as well.

"IT IS MORE THAN A BIT!" shouted Fly.

"We only want to help!" Stevil said. SMACK! "Ow!"

"Help yourself, pissant!" Fly shouted.

Suddenly, Stevil floated up into the air and his voice got deeper. "WE ARE!"

Before Fly could run, one of the eyes absorbed her along with Mooncake.

"NO! Fly! Mooncake," cried out Gary.

Stevil raised his hand. "Sleep..." And just like that, Gary and Avocato passed out. Stevil turned to his assistant. "Alert High Helper Hula. We have been most helpful."

When Gary and Avocato awoke, they found themselves in an EM Escher painting, the one with the stairs all over the place. Gary yelled, "Stevil lived right up to the evil in his name! Look! We made it to the super safe oblivion amusement park of never-ending unsafe stairs! What fun! Thanks, Avocato."

"It's a Lazarus trap," said Avocato. "Only master trap-makers can make these. And people who really like stairs."

"At least we're not sinking into, like, a lake of lava or something." The instant Gary said that, a lake of lava started to rise up. Avocato helped up onto one of the upper platforms.

"Listen to me," he said sternly. "Anything we think of becomes reality. Okay?"

"Right. Okay. So we've got to think positive. Ooh, ooh! Cookies!" A chocolate chip cookie landed in his hand.

"No," exclaimed Avocato.

The cookie sprouted limbs and a cartoony face and said, "Hey! Eat me! I'm delicious! I'm a cookie!"

Avocato shook his head. Gary shrugged his shoulders. "What? It's not like I'm imagining murderous killing confections."

The cookie suddenly said, "I'm going to kill you." Gary and Avocato screamed.

Meanwhile, Stevil was walking down a row of cages, inspecting the snarling beasts held in them. "Everybody is super excited about today's sacrifices at the Deathcropolis." He stopped in front of Mooncake's cell. "But you're not being sacrificed. The Lord Commander needs you. And as for the woman, Cetus wants to see her personally." Mooncake turned around and his eyes began to glow. "What is he doing?"

"Chookity-pock!" A laser shot out of his eyes, making a huge hole. He flew through it, but instead of an escape, he found himself in an arena with thousands of cheering aliens in the audience.

"Mooncake!"

The little green blob turned and gasped when he saw Fly tied to a stake in the ground. He flew over to her and tried to untie her. "I'm sorry," she said. "I should have tried harder to talk Gary out of bringing you here."

"Chookity," Mooncake said.

"I know. It's not my fault. So, why do I feel like it is?"

Suddenly, a door opened and a large crab-lizard hybrid stepped out and roared. Fly felt like wetting herself. "Mooncake, I don't want to rush you, but...GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

Somewhere in space, Quinn was currently in a hot pursuit with a squadron of Infinity Guard cruisers chasing after her. "Quinn Airgon, we have orders to arrest you for aerial grand theft."

She recognized the voice on the communicator. "Chuck?"

"Yes. This is Chuck. Now, please surrender, and this all goes away."

"Listen, jerk nuts: No!"

There was a moment's silence. Chuck said, a little hurt, "Did she just call me jerk nuts? Oh. Okay, yeah... Yeah. I think you are under arrest."

"Hey! Douche canoe, not happening."

Chuck made an offended sound. "God. You said, 'Douche canoe'. All right. Listen, Quinn..."

"No. You listen. I'm trying to save the world, here. So you're going to turn your vessel around and forget you ever saw me." Quinn swore she heard sniffling in the background. "Dude, are you crying?"

"No. No, I'm not crying. It's space pollen."

Suddenly, both Quinn and the patrol behind her were out of lightspeed. She tried to run away, but a hologram of Chuck wagging his finger appeared. "Ah, ah, ah! Didn't say the magic word!" She knew as soon as the tractor beam caught her that she was stymied. For now.

Back in the Lazarus prison, Gary found himself swamped by a horde of evil cookies. "Aaah! Why am I the only one covered in cookies?" He pointed to Avocato. "You have no cookies!"

"Gary, de-think the cookies!" Avocato said as he pulled Gary to safety.

"Not sure that's possible. I'm a very creative guy. Like, wouldn't it be cool if they had, like, laser eyes?" Gary regretted saying that instantly. "Aah! Run!"

The two ran with the army of cookies chasing after them. "Think of something else," Avocato said. "Anything else!"

"Like tridents?"

The cookies became armed with tridents.

"No!"

"Yeah!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No! Not like tridents!" Avocato shouted as they jumped across a ravine.

"I'm thinking about little trident-wielding laser-shooting death cookies!" Gary tried to empty his thoughts. "I'm thinking of nothing, nothing, nothing." He bumped into Avocato, and they fell off a ledge, but they managed to grab onto it. Then the cookies loomed over them and began stabbing their fingers.

"I'm going to eat your eyes out," they said maniacally. "And pee in your sockets! You're never going to leave this place."

Then Gary saw one cookie high above one of the edges. "Why is that one cookie lone-wolfing it across the edge?" It dove off majestically. "Oh! He's leaping! Whoa! He's like an angel! Oh, my God..."

"I'm going to kill you!"

It landed on his face and began attacking him. "AAAH! It's stabbing my eyes!"

It was all the cookies needed to finally make Gary and Avocato drop.

Back in the arena, Fly was screaming and running around like a madwoman as the monster chased after her. "Mooncake! What happened to saving me?!"

Mooncake flew up to the creature and his eyes glowed again, "Chookity-pock!" Lasers fired out and destroyed the monster.

Fly ran up to Mooncake and hugged him tight. "I love you!"

Stevil, who was watching the carnage from his seat chanted, "To the ones who live for the ones who die!"

More doors opened and more monsters appeared. Fly wept madly.

On his ship, the Lord Commander pounded his fist on a window. "It's not fair. I've been good. I help people. I've been patient, unbelievably patient!"

A servant came in with a plate of biscuits and a goblet. "Oh, Lord Commander," he said as he bowed. "I brought your medicine, sir! I put a little biscuit on the side, just for you, my special little prince."

The Lord Commander took one look at the biscuits and knocked them out of his servant's hands. "WHAT IS THIS?!" He grabbed him by the throat and choked him. "I like the much littler kind of biscuits. I have told you this, Eric. I told you this!"

Suddenly, a message played on his communicator. "We have been most helpful. We have found Mooncake."

The Lord Commander smiled wickedly. "My patience paid off," he said as he snapped Eric's neck like a twig.

"Bad day, bad day, bad day, bad day, bad day!" screamed Fly as the monsters tried to catch and eat her. Thankfully, Mooncake destroyed them before they could get a chance.

"The more you kill," Stevil said. "The more the Twelve Titans beyond rejoice."

"Titans?" asked Fly. "What are Titans?"

Back in the Lazarus prison, Gary and Avocato landed on a platform, but lava was slowly rising up beneath them. "Gary, we need to wake up," the latter said. "Close your eyes.

Gary was confused. "You want me to wake up by closing my eyes? That doesn't make any sense!"

"Nothing makes any sense in here!"

"All right. Good point. Okay. I'm closing my eyes." He still felt the heat of the lava. "It's not working."

Then he heard it. A familiar voice. "Hi, Gary."

He turned around and saw her. "Quinn?"

"It's been a long time. Come here. I missed you."

"Is it really you?" Gary slowly walked toward her.

"Closer."

Avocato stopped him. "Gary, no!"

"Get off me!"

"It's part of the trap."

Quinn held out her hand. "Gary, don't listen to him."

Avocato shook him. "You need to trust me. She isn't real."

Suddenly he heard another voice. "Are we going home, dad?"

Beside Quinn was Little Cato, reaching for him. But Avocato knew it wasn't real, as much as he wanted it to be. "Trust me, buddy. We both need to wake up."

Gary looked at Quinn, beckoning for him. "I don't want to wake up."

Avocato smirked. "Then you're really not going to want this." And he punched Gary in the face.

Gary looked around. They were back in the facility! "We're out! I saved us."

"No, I saved you," said Avocato.

"And I, you."

"No, you didn't."

"But I did."

"You almost got us killed, Gary."

"Then we're even."

The two of them ran out of the facility and into the slums. "We've got to find Mooncake and Fly!"

"Gary, Fly is going to be okay as long as Mooncake is with her! He's a super weapon!"

"Wrong! Little green ball friend is a harmless gumball of love!" Gary contacted the Galaxy 1. "HUE, you there?"

"Where have you been, Gary?"

"It would sound too insane to even explain. Can you lock into Mooncake and Fly's location?" Suddenly he bumped into Avocato.

"Uh, Gary?" He pointed to a dirigible that had live footage playing on the screen. Live footage of Mooncake defending Fly with laser beams coming out of his eyes.

"Little buddy...?"

"The final sacrifice awaits," announced Stevil.

"Alright," Fly said, laughing maniacally. "Just kill one more and we're out of this crazy nuthole!" Nothing happened. "Mooncake?" She turned around. Mooncake looked from the crowd chanting for more blood to the bodies on the ground and his reflection in the blood. He made a distressed expression. "Mooncake!" shouted Fly. "A little help?"

Mooncake hovered over to her and said, "Chookty." sadly.

"What?! What do you mean, no!?"

"Chookity-pock!"

Fly's eyes widened. "You don't want to kill?"

"Hmm."

Fly gulped when she heard the final beast approaching them. "Uh...well, can you at least kill so I live?"

"Pock!"

"No?! Come on! I don't want to be digested and reduced to being an alien turd on the ground!"

The beast took another step closer.

"Please, Mooncake!"

Suddenly, before the beast could take another step, Cetus appeared out of nowhere and shot it multiple times in the head. Its body collapsed and Cetus looked at Fly and growled. "You. I've been waiting a long time for this!"

"Uh..." Fly said. "Do I know you?"

"What? You don't know me?"

Fly scratched the back of her head. "Yeah. Wasn't that clear?"

"Oh, of course you don't recognize me. It's been years after all." Cetus removed her helmet, revealing her face: a woman in her late teens with blonde hair with a silver streak and dark eyes. "Recognize me now?!"

Fly let out a gasp. Then she said, "No."

Cetus balked. Then she started laughing. Fly and Mooncake looked at each other. "Did you hear that?!" Cetus laughed. "She doesn't know me!" She laughed again, then stopped as she pulled out a dagger. "SHE DOESN'T KNOW ME!" She roared and lunged for Fly, but Mooncake blocked her. "Stay out of my way!" She swatted Mooncake and resumed her attack.

Suddenly, Fly took out a little piece of candy and flicked it into Cetus' open mouth. Her pupils dilated and she started drooling like a rabid animal. "No!" She began stabbing at someone only she could see. "Die! No, you die! Die! Why won't you die?!"

"Okay..." Fly said, greatly disturbed. She looked at the hallucinogens she stole earlier. "Maybe Avocato was right about these."

Suddenly, she and Mooncake heard someone clapping. They both looked up to see the Lord Commander, slowly hovering toward them. "Very impressive, Fly. You managed to subdue my second-in-command. I shall have to punish her greatly for this." He turned to Mooncake. "Hello, Mooncake. I have been looking all over for you." The little blob hid behind Fly. "Don't be shy. Come in and say hello."

He raised his fist and Fly found herself being lifted up into the air. "Hey! Put me down!"

"Oh, I will. Into a bed of spikes!"

Before he could carry out his threat, Mooncake blasted him with his laser. He slid across the ground, peeling off some of his skin in the process. "How did I become so weak?" he growled.

Suddenly, Gary and Avocato blasted through a wall of the arena. "Mooncake! Fly!" Gary called out.

"Doot, doot, doot, doot!" sang Mooncake as he ran up to Gary and hugged his face. "Chookity!"

"Aw..."

"Hey! What about me," Fly said. "Didn't you miss me, too?"

"Well...not as much!" Gary said.

"Ugh!"

Avocato saw the Lord Commander slowly get up. "Gary!"

"It's over, The Gary," growled the midget dictator.

"'Gary.' It's just 'Gary'," the human said impatiently. "What is your deal, dude? Why won't you just leave us alone?"

The Lord Commander chuckled. "You have no idea, do you? Mooncake is the key. That being can unlock Final Space."

"What the mother-loving crap is Final Space?"

"That's my business. Should we play a game, Gary? I love games. I always win." He pointed up. Three of his ships appeared and pointed their guns at the group. "Hand over what I want, and I..."

BOOM!

Mooncake shot his lasers at the ships, destroying them. Gary's excitement grew. "Oh, my gosh! Sweet Grandor's glove! You are a planet-destroying super weapon!"

"Chookity?"

Gary pulled him into a hug and spun him around. "Yes! That's so freaking tight!"

The Lord Commander let out a growl. "That's not how we play the game!"

"How about this game?" Fly shouted as she grabbed Avocato's gun and fired multiple...and missed her mark.

"You missed," the Lord Commander laughed.

"No, I didn't."

The Lord Commander turned around to see she let loose all the captive creatures. He didn't even flinch as he used his powers to tear them all apart.

Then more of his guards appeared and started shooting down on the group. They took cover behind a corpse, but they knew they were outnumbered. Just then, the Galaxy 1 appeared, and guess who shooting at the guards? KVN. "Hey," he called out cheerfully. "I'm going to save you, Gary! I'm saving you! I'm here to save you, Gary! The day is saved."

"God damn it all," Fly shouted as she and the others ran for the ship. "Why did it have to be you!"

"Freaking KVN!" shouted Gary. "I hate you so much! I truly can't wait for the day you die! Oh, my gosh. No one will be sad. There will only be happiness!"

Finally, the group got on board. KVN wanted to high-five Gary. "Hey, Gary."

"Don't even! Just don't even!"

"KVN has saved everything."

Down below, a guard tried to shoot the ship down with a bazooka, but didn't get that chance as Nightfall appeared and snapped his neck.

Back in space, Chuck was making a report as he saw the anomaly for the first time, thanks to Quinn talking some sense into him. "The gravitational disturbance, it's massive and growing... a lot...a lot, a lot."

"That's what I've been trying to tell you," snapped Quinn.

The whole ship shook as it was being pulled into the anomaly.

"Probe failure imminent," said the computer. "Probe failure imminent."

Quinn shouted, "We need to get out of here right now."

The shaking grew more violent as the ship got closer. "Oh, God! Engage rear thrusters!" shouted Chuck. Suddenly, the windows shattered and the whole crew was sucked out. Save for Chuck and Quinn. "I am not a douche canoe!" Those were Chuck's final words before being sucked out.

Quinn ran to one of the escape pods and launched herself into lightspeed before the whole ship was destroyed. "Mayday, mayday! This is Quinn Airgon. Can someone hear me? Help me!"

Galaxy 1

"I've processed your scan of all prisoner transfers out of Tera Con Prime," said HUE. "There is no match for Little Cato." Avocato looked down sadly.

Gary and Fly watched then decided to leave him be. They found Mooncake looking out the window sadly. "Mooncake? What's wrong, bud?"

"Mmm," the little blob said sadly.

"I get it. So you shoot a murder beam out of your face hole. So what? I mean, it happens to the best of us. I mean, just the other
day I had a burrito, and you should have saw the freaking murder beam that came out of my ba..."

"Okay," Fly said, disgusted. "I don't want to hear the rest of this story."

"Not helping. Look, the point is I just want you to know that that doesn't change anything between you, Fly and this guy." He pointed to his reflection.

"Me?" KVN asked, appearing out of nowhere.

"NOT YOU!" Fly kicked him away.

"Chookity!" agreed Mooncake.

Gary pointed to himself. "Him is me. It doesn't make you the bad guy. It really doesn't. I mean, it makes the scum who want to use you as the weapon the bad guy." Mooncake raised an eyebrow. "Look, you're a good guy to the max core."

"Ohh!" Mooncake said as he face hugged Gary.

"I'm never going to let you go again. I now know the only one I can trust with you is my own awesomeness."

"Hey, what about me?" asked Fly. Mooncake hugged her. "You're so warm. Do you realize that?"

"Chookity-pock."

Suddenly, HUE announced, "Gary, I am receiving a mayday call."

"Mayday, mayday! This is Quinn Airgon! Can someone hear me? Help me!"

"Oh, my crap. It's Quinn."

"Who?" asked Fly.

"If I had words," Cetus sang, still under the effect of the drug. "To make a day for you..." The Lord Commander snapped his fingers and she instantly came out of her high. "Whoo! What happened?! Where's Fly? I..." She stopped when she saw the Lord Commander glaring at her. "My Lord Commander...I -"

"We need to discuss your punishment, failure."
