Dad...listen, Steve...! There's something only you can do. Mark said
Only me? Steve said
Yeah, you're the only one...who can delete me. Mark said
What are you saying?! Steve said
Hurry! You have to delete me! Otherwise they'll get dad...! Mark said
Absolutely not! I could never do that! The doctor would be completely devasted without you! Steve said
I-I'm not human! I'm...I'm just memories. Mark's memories. Nothing but...nothing but data. Mark said
Oh, er... Steve said
We're not going to make it! Delete me, Steve! Mark said
I can't! Steve said
Dad and i have to part ways, Steve. Or he'll never stand on his own two feet again! Please, Steve! Help him...help my father! Mark said as he approached Steve and hugged him while a glowing light was showing
Huh? Mark! What are you doing?! Steve said
Steve was being hugged by Mark so hard he short-circuited a bit while he couldn't move
Goodbye...Steve. Mark said
Mark...! Steve said
And just like that Mark was deleted from Steve as one soldier was freaked out by the short-circuiting laptop that just happened
Whoa! the first soldier said
Aah! No, Mark! Mark...oh dear...what happened?! Mark! MARK! Oh, no...this isn't happening. Pocacchio said
Mark... Steve said
I'm sorry, dad...thanks for all you have done... Mark said
Meanwhile
Inspector Starr and his two soldiers were leaving the Daytron Factory
Do we just leave him like that? the second soldier said
It doesn't matter. We can't arrest him without evidence. That's enough for today. I'd say we've done our jobs, haven't we? Inspector Starr said
Yeah. the second soldier said
I guess so. the first soldier said
Good. Now let's head back to the station. Inspector Starr said
Sir! the two soldiers said
Inspector and his two soldiers continued to walk back to the station
Back to Steve and Pocacchio
Steve And Pocacchio were mourning the loss of Mark who was gone again after deleting himself

Mark, is it true? Are you really gone? Steve said
Why Mark Why? Pocacchio said
Mark...and you cared so much for Dr. Pocacchio...doctor...what makes a human...human? Suddenly...i'm not so sure anymore. Steve said
Oh Mark... Pocacchio said
Pocacchio then did a loud scream

A few minutes later
Punk, Batman, and Jaster were still walking through Kuje Desert looking for something that was hidden there
Man this is taking forever. Punk said
I'm sure we're almost there. Jaster said
Well it better be. Punk said
Hold up. Batman said
What is it? Punk said
Look over there. Batman said
The others looked to see where Batman was pointing at and saw a dead body on the ground
Is that a person or is it another ghost? Punk said
Let's find out. Jaster said
Punk, Batman, and Jaster approached the corpse lying on the ground
Jesus Punk said
A body...way out there. Jaster said
Batman checked the person's pulse until he realized the person was breathing
He's dead. Batman said
Damn. Jaster said
Seriously. Punk said
Poor guy...he collapsed in the desert. Jaster said
What's that in his hand? Jaster said
Huh? His hand? Jaster said
Yeah there. Punk said as he pointed at his hand
Jaster saw what Punk was talking about as he notices something that was in the person's hand and picked it up
It's a letter. Jaster said
A letter? Punk said
Yeah. Jaster said
What does it say? Batman said
Let's see... Jaster said
Jaster looked at the letter to see what it says
"My dear wife that's waiting for me...it doesn't seem like i'll be able to get back home. I wanted to bring this money to you before i part this world, but it doesn't look like i'll be able to do so. I'm sorry, Emily." the person said as he was reading the note
Money? Did he say money? Punk said
Yeah but where is it? Jaster said
Over there. Batman as he pointed at the money that was in the person's other hand
Oh. Jaster said
Jaster then picked up the money that was in the person's other hand and the person disappeared
Whoa. Jaster said
It happened again. Punk said
What is going on here? Batman said
I have no idea. Jaster said
Like i said it's creepy...anyway how much money is in that bag? Punk said
I don't know. Jaster said
Let's put it back. Batman said
Why? Punk said
We shouldn't take things without asking. Batman said
Oh right. Punk said
But this guy is dead. Jaster said
I know but still it isn't right. Batman said
Hold on the letter said that this guy was going to get this money to someone named Emily right? Punk said
What do you mean? Batman said
What i mean is what if we find this Emily and give the money to her? Punk said
That's a great idea. Jaster said
Are you sure about this? Batman said
Of course i am. Punk said
Batman thought for a moment until he decided
Alright we'll take the money, find Emily and give it to her. Batman said
Great. Punk said
Yes. Jaster said
But... Batman said
There's always a but. Punk said
If we don't find Emily we are going to give this money to kids for charity. Batman said
Okay. Punk said
That's fine. Jaster said
Good. Now let's keep moving. Batman said
A few more minutes later
Punk, Batman, and Jaster kept walking through Kuje Desert looking for something that was hidden there until a woman approached them
Excuse me... the woman said
Can we help you with something? Batman said
Yes you can. the woman said
What's wrong? Jaster said
I'm Emily. I'm looking for my husband-he's been lost in the desert. the woman said
Wait...you're Emily? Punk said
Yes i am. Emily said
Wow. Punk said
You're looking for your husband? Jaster said
Yes his name is Ronnie. Have you seen him wandering in the desert somewhere? Emily said
We saw him. Punk said
Oh, really? Was he-was he all right? Emily said
No he wasn't. Jaster said
What? Emily said
He's dead. Batman said
Oh, my goodness...poor Ronnie, wandering on his own in the desert...and now he's dead. Emily said
We have something he wanted to bring to you. Jaster said
Really? What is it? Emily said
Jaster pulled out the money he got from Ronnie's body and gave it to Emily
Is this-from him?! Emily said
Yeah. Jaster said
He left all of this money...just for me? Emily said
Yup. Punk said
Emily cried a little bit until she calmed down
I don't know what to say. You've told me about my husband's death, and now i know how much he loved me. Emily said
He was a good man. Batman said
Indeed he was. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Emily said
It was nothing. Punk said
No really just...thank you. Now i can finally rest. Emily said
Wait...did you say rest? Punk said
That's right. Now i don't have to wait for my dear Ronnie anymore. I have grown so very tired... Emily said as she turned into a corpse and disappeared
What the hell? Punk said
Again...it happened again. Jaster said
Just like before. Batman said
Okay...i am COMPLETELY freaked out by this desert. Punk said
At least we brought the money to Emily. Jaster said
That's true. Punk said
Now that we brought the money to Emily we should keep moving. Batman said
Totally. Punk said
Yeah. Jaster said
