PSSSSSSHHHHH….

  SHOOOOOOOOOM!!!

  As the Light Astro-Freighter rose up off of the ground, Kaze aimed its nose up at the jungle moon’s clear skyways.

  Then, after setting a one-way-flight path towards planet Voltaira (due to only having enough fuel for one last trip) Kaze activated the Light Astro-Freighter’s ‘Quantum Warp Jump Drive’ and blasted off into the cosmos, leaving Magnus behind… ALL ALONE IN HIS WAKE.

  “You have made a kroonish choice, World-Breaker,” Little Jaiya stated as she looked directly at Magnus after appearing for him again. “But fret not… You can still aid the Jorrakan, Kaze Azir, in his quest.”

  “He will die,” Magnus muttered. “If that boy goes to Voltaira he will…”

  “DIE… Yes, so he shall… BUT YOU SHALL NOT. If you go to Voltaira, World-Breaker, then you shall free all of the emperor’s enslaved prisoners and CRUMBLE the Voltairan Empire entirely… But you must make your choice right here and right now because time is of the essence.”

  “Why? Why is ‘time of the essence’?”

  “Because your remaining fellow TRUE-BLOODED Crixan brethren Braako, Apollox, Draex, Medo, and Rayven are planning to overthrow Emperor Voltair as well… But ONLY for their personal gain and NOT for the betterment of all CIVILIZED and INNOCENT sentient life that is scattered all across the Known Universe.”

  “What?” Magnus uttered in confusion as he looked directly at Little Jaiya. “What are you talking about???”

  “Ever since Braako discovered that he can break worlds… LIKE YOU he has gone mad. Mad with the idea of wielding power… GOD-LIKE POWER. He has become so maddened, so self-righteous that he has convinced the rest of your still living fellow Crixans that they are beyond the Voltairan Race, beyond Planet Voltaira, beyond the Voltairan Empire, and even beyond Emperor Voltair himself.”

  “They’ve disregarded the stabilization of their emotional baseline levels???”

  “Yes. They have, World-Breaker… And do you know what this means?”

  “They are in FULL CONTROL of their emotions. Like…”

  “YOU,” Little Jaiya said in a cold tone, which speared right through Magnus’s chest.

  Eyes widened, Magnus muttered, “No… No, no, no. This cannot be. This… This cannot…”

  “Tis, World-Breaker… TIS INDEED,” Little Jaiya assured sternly. “With full control over their emotions, Braako and the other Galactic Deciders shall strike out on their own to conquer… AND BREAK any world that they so choose. They could enslave… OR ERADICATE any race of sentient life that does, or does not, believe in their same ideals… In their words… IN THEIR REIGN.”

  Thinking of the outcome of his former fellow teammate’s emotional-fueled newfound independence and inevitable conquest of the Known Universe, Magnus felt as if he were going to fall apart.

  “Urgh… No. No, no, no. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no,” Magnus grunted whilst shaking his head.

  “Yes, World-Breaker… YES,” Little Jaiya hissed. “This shall ALL occur unless you return to Voltaira with Kaze Azir and stop them as well as FREE the Emperor’s Enslaved, bring down the emperor, his merciless armies, and his whole cursed empire once and for all.”

  “No. No, no, no,” Magnus continued to deny as his emotional voice grew louder and more intense, “No, NO, NO!”

  Raising his head upward now towards the skyways, Magnus cried out whilst clenching his fists incredibly tightly, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

  BOOM!
