Chapter Text
Haze: (looking out towards Vincent) How much longer?
Iapetus: (his rings were gone) Well… it's been 16 Billion Years since the Systems formation. 44 Billion Years remain in his life.
Haze: And then?
Iapteus: He'll exit the main sequence stage, and become a Red Giant.
Haze: … I'm happy that we have lots of time left.
Iapteus: In the Red Giant Phase, our moons could develop life.
Haze: Wouldn't last long since his Red Giant Phase would only last 1 billion years. And then. White Dwarf.
Iapteus: And he'll be expanding and getting brighter during it.
Haze: Yeah, but at least everything is calm-
Nixon: (he rushed to Haze) I'm a monster! (He was crying uncontrollably)
Haze: Woah there, are you alright man?
Nixon: No! I killed my moon! I KILLED MY MOON!
Iapteus: Not so loud! Do you want Vincent to hear you?
Nixon: I don't care. I KILLED MY MOON!
Vincent: Nixon? (The three giants stare at Vincent)
I mean… Did you force it or was it a natural occurring death?
Nixon: (he was still shaking) Well… kinda both?
You see, a good while ago Cerebus flew by my orbit, I ended up ejecting him to a higher orbit, but then my moons ended up scattering. Some ejected while the rest formed unstable orbits-
Vincent: Enough. I have enough information.
I'm sorry Nixon. (Nixon went to leave) I'm sorry that you had to lose your moons. I know you're a bit scattered from… this but… I understand. Since you had no malicious intent… I won't punish you.
Nixon: (still crying, but he smiled) Thank you.
Vincent: (he smiled) You're welcome.
Haze: So… what do we do now? Nothing major has happened-
Pallas: Ahem.
Haze: Oh. Well that's major. How does it feel not freezing when you leave the inner system?
Pallas: I hate that this is a natural thing that happens.
Haze: Well… at least you don't have to worry about your Lifeforms anymore.
Pallas: Whatever. (He headed towards his orbit)
Haze: Sorry…
Nixon: I still feel extremely bad for killing Kanos, I mean. My remaining moons probably don't think I'm a good planet anymore.
Haze: Don't worry, as long as they know that you didn't mean any harm.
Tyche: Hey guys. It's been a pretty boring 10 billion years. You know?
Alteron: Tell me about it.
Haze: I've been sleeping for a majority of the time, so-
Asriel: We know. Ooh! Remember when me and Nixon caused Vincent extreme stress when we got kidnapped by The Rouge Planets!
(The Giants looked uncomfortable)
Asriel: Yeah… It wasn't a good memory.
Nixon: Yeah, I still get nightmares about it.
Asriel: I mean, Vincent was toying with our orbits.
Haze: Only to teach us a lesson. We didn't tell him, and he was upset that we went out of our way to
Ugh, I don't want to talk about the past. Alright? A lot of things happened.
Iapteus: Kora and Amirikos falling inside your roche-
Haze: I said shut up! Please, stop running your mouth, I can't… (he turns around and calms himself down) I'm sorry for yelling… I… (he turns back to them) I don't want to talk about it. I miss them… you know?
Tyche: We understand.
(We go to the Galos Zone)
Xeno: Ugh… I'm so bored.
Sagittarius: Maybe if you didn't upset the balance of the system-
Xeno: Nenenenene, whatever you say punk.
Sagittarius: I'm a punk?
Xeno: Yes! If you didn't try looking for me, I wouldn't be locked in my orbit.
Sagittarius: When will you be free again?
Xeno: I have another… 5 hours.
Sagittarius: That's good!
Xeno: I'm pretty sure Vincent forgot about me.
Sagittarius: Well?
Xeno: Hell, he even forced my moons to orbit me in their realistic orbits.
Sagittarius: Well, maybe you won't leave the system again-
Xeno: What is the point of staying in the system, when entropy wants us to cause mayhem and chaos. Entropy binds the universe together. Just let me-
Sagittarius: No! Look, despite what you think, there also needs to be order. Oh, and just so you know, you got punished for your role in the Planet Revolution, not because you wanted to leave.
Xeno: Shut up, at least I have moons! Your moons hide in the system-
Sagittarius: That has no relevance to- whatever, you win. (He stormed to his orbit)
Xeno: (he stared towards Vincent) Soon. Very Very Soon.
(We go out to the five ejected)
Cerebus: Hey, Pandora! Guess what!
Pandora: Yes dude?
Cerebus: I would like to ask if you'd like to go see what Pallas is up to.
Pandora: I don't know-
Cerebus: Look. I'm going to be real with you. It's been 10 billion years since what happened. Let's go. Now.
Pandora: But-
Cerebus: Come on. It's not like Vincent’ll crash out. It'll be fun, we'll get to hang out with our friend again.
Like old times.
Pandora: Okay, fine. Let's go. (They headed inwards)
Orneilous: It's been 15 billion years since the Grand Tack, I'm surprised they are comfortable being my friend after-
Titron: It's not your fault entirely.
Persephone: …
Titron: You good?
Persephone: I… kinda wish we never went to go find Iapteus and Tyche-
Both: WHY
Persephone: Because, ever since then we… (she held back her tears) been forced to be out here.
Titron: But, would you rather them wander the galaxy bringing instability to other systems?
Persephone: I… guess not.
Titron: Then stop being so upset. Please. It's been 10 Billion Years.
Persephone: I never really… got on good terms with Iapteus, nor Chaos, Caros, Cali, Cealis, Derek, Dilan, Deanix… Donus.
But then again… why? Why would they accept my apology? For kicking him out of the system, or for… never coming back for them… my selfishness led them to turn against me.
I wish I returned sooner. For them at least.
