The Xeviour-21 flew through a pink wormhole faster than the speed of light.

Krystal: "Whoa! Where are we?"

Blake: "Looks like a wormhole to me. It should lead us to another portal at the end!"

Krystal stared out of the cockpit at the pink view with the purple, expanded stars.

Krystal: "It... Looks so beautiful- kIoa Xa."

Blake turned to Krystal and stared at her, dumbfounded.

Blake: "What?"

Krystal: "Blake! Xia piXo Naklio mi?"

Blake: "I can't understand your language!"

Blake takes a look at her translator helmet that Chris gave her earlier today, and realizes it's batterie is empty.

Blake: "Yeah, your translator helmet is out of power. Chris will charge it when we get home."

Krystal couldn't understand his language, so she had to read his mind again to understand. A pink portal appeared at the end of the wormhole, showing a large green jungle on the other side.

Chellie: "We've reached the end of the wormhole!"

Blake: "Chellie, activate the shield now! We don't know how many of those bastards are waiting there!"

Chellie: "Roger that!"

The Xeviour-21 began to glow slightly red and sped toward the portal.

Blake: "Ceniria, we're here!"

The Xeviour-21 shot out of the portal and was immediately greeted by seven Penetarox space fighters firing at it.

Blake: "Well, if that's not a nice way to greet someone! Hello back to you suckers!"

Blake made the Xeviour-21 spin a few times to avoid their attacks, and activated his laser gatling guns. All four laser gatling cannons began spinning and roaring loudly as they spat laser beams back at the Penetarox space fighters.

Two of the Penetarox space fighters exploded as they crashed into each other, the engine of one enemy space fighter began to smoke, and the remaining four lost their wings and crashed into the deep green jungle.

Blake: "That was all of them!? I was expecting a big portal storm with millions of those Penefucks!"

Chellie: "The rest of them are probably where the signal came from."

While tracking the signal, Blake stared down into the jungle from the cockpit. It looked like planet Earth in earlier times. There were so many trees and plants, all colored green. Blake missed the color green. He missed mother nature.

Chellie: "We have reached our destination! The signal is coming from somewhere below us!"

Krystal tapped Blake on the shoulder to get his attention.

Krystal: "Blake! BiXo Xi laO!"

Blake: "What's going on, Krystal?"

Krystal pointed her finger to the right side of the windshield. Blake looked in the direction of her finger and spotted two running Cenirians and a Penetarox space fighter chasing them.

Without thinking twice, Blake charged down and pursued the Penetarox space fighter. He activated his gatling guns and shot down his enemy. The enemy space fighter exploded in midair and crashed to the muddy ground.

The two running Cenirians heard the explosion and stopped running. They turned and saw another space fighter land next to them. Blake opened the cockpit of his ship and greeted the two with a wink.

Blake: "Yo!"

Krystal jumped out of the Xeviour-21 and ran towards her parents with open arms.

Krystal: "Mam! Pap! Xija Pla kio!"

Krystal screamed with joy and hugged them both.

Krystal's mother: "Krystal! Mi Krystal kiol Xo!"

Krystal's father: "Krystal!"

Blake watched from the cockpit and smiled as his eyes got a little watery. He was really glad that Krystal was reunited with her family. He only wished that his parents were still alive so he could see them one more time and hug them tightly. Even though his father had made a huge mistake, he still loved him as much as he loved his mother.

Chellie: "Blake? Are you crying?"

A small tear ran down his cheek and he sobbed softly. He wiped the tear away and smiled again.

Blake: "Nah man. I'm just happy for them."

Chellie: "You miss your parents, don't you Blake?"

Blake: "Yeah..."

Chellie: "Well, you're not alone. You still have me, Chris and Krystal. Together, we're like family. I have an idea! Why don't you try to build a robot version of your parents and install their memories in them?"

Blake: "I could try. More like Chris should try, since he knows more about mechanics and machines. But the thing is, I don't have their memories in data."

Chellie: "Why don't you ask Chris? I'm sure he has them hidden somewhere."

Blake: "Anyway, we have to take out all the Penetarox brains first, and then we'll try to save planet Earth. And if Earth really can't be saved, then we'll have to find a new planet to live on."

Chellie: "That's the spirit!"

Suddenly, several Penetarox portals appeared in the sky and thousands of Penetarox space fighters and dropships emerged from them.

Blake: "Oh oh! Heads down!!!"

One of the Penetarox space fighters raced close over Blake and the three Cerinians.

Blake: "Fuck!!! Krystal, grab your parents and get over here now!!! I can't risk losing one of you to these bastards!!!"

Krystal grabbed her parents' hands and ran to the Xeviour-21, Blake helped them get inside and the cockpit closed by itself.

Blake: "Okey, since we barely have time and only one seat, one has to sit on the floor, one on my lap and one on my shoulder! Get in position!"

Without telling them twice, Krystal's father sat on the floor, Krystal's mother sat on Blake's shoulder, and Krystal herself made herself comfortable on his lap.

Blake: "Do you have the coordinates to Earth, Chellie?"

Chellie: "Got them!"

Blake pushed the control stick up and the Xeviour-21 flew upward at great speed. The Xeviour-21 reached the sky and was about to leave Cerinia's atmosphere. Krystal and her parents stared back at their home in shock and sadness.

More of these portals appeared and millions of Penetarox space fighters began dropping bombs on the planet. Cerinia was about to be destroyed, just like Earth.

Blake: "How much power is left?"

Chellie: "Remaining energy, ninety-nine percent!"

Blake: "Would that be enough for hyperspace flight to Earth?"

Chellie: "Give me a moment to do the math!"

Suddenly, a large green shock wave flew past the Xeviour-21.

Blake: "What the hell!? Chellie, activate the camera on the back!"

A hologram appeared on the windshield of the Xeviour-21, showing a green glowing explosion instead of Cerinia.

Blake: "Holy crap..."

Krystal and her parents couldn't hold back their tears as they saw their home being split to atoms. The explosion was getting bigger and brighter and was about to reach the Xeviour-21.

Blake: "Activate hyperspace! Activate hyperspace!!! ACTIVATE HYPERSPACE!!!"

Just as the explosion was about to reach them, the Xeviour-21 entered hyperspace and sped toward Earth.
