We'll be together again someday

An Underground Odyssey

In the past, Cosmo was standing on a conveyor belt that transports people down corridors. A few other Seedrians pass her going the other way on the belt.

"Hi there, Cosmo!" Starla said.

"How are you doing today?" Chrysanthemum asked.

"Be sure to give your mother our regards. We'll see you later, Cosmo!" Daisy said.

"Okay! Goodbye!" Cosmo said and saw her older sister Galaxina standing in a four-hall intersection. "Galaxina!" she said stopped in front of Galaxina.

"There you are, Cosmo! You've had Mother worrying all afternoon." Galaina said.

"I didn't mean to. I was playing my pretend game again, and I must have forgotten what time it was."

"Don't worry, little Cosmo. We're all pretty used to your daydreaming by now.

Cosmo scowled and crossed her arms.

Cosmo and Galaxina were standing in a sanctuary aboard the ship. There was a giant tree in the middle of the room, kept alive by machinery.

"Sorry to worry you, Mother." Cosmo said.

"She was dreaming again, like always." Galaxina said.

"Hey, have you ever wondered if Mother likes to daydream too sometimes?"

"Well, maybe..."

"I'll bet she dreams about being back home again, like I do."

"Yes. I'm sure it's a great comfort to her. To hope that one day we'll all be back there..."

"Galaxina... the elders say we'll be journeying through space like this forever."

"Not forever, Cosmo. Just until we destroy the evil Metarex monsters for good. Only then can we rest and search for a new planet to call home."

Cosmo was silent.

"Come on, let's go. Mother has many errands for us today!"

"Yes!"

Then Galaxina left.

"Oh, goodbye, Mother! See you later!" Cosmo said and left.

Later, an explosion rocks the ship, throwing Cosmo into a wall. Smoke poured from the ship as the Metarex' Scarship pulls alongside it. Cosmo was frightened at the sight of the Scarship as it casted its shadow over her.

Starla, Chrysanthemum, and Daisy were gathered on the bridge with an image of the Scarship. An alarm blares throughout the ship.

"Metarex approaching!" Starla said.

"Sectors 3 and 7 have been irreparably damaged! We can't fight them much longer." Chrysanthemum said.

"We have to stop them!" Daisy said.

But before the shields could be deployed, a blast from the Scarship struck the bridge, killing Starla, Chrysanthemum, and Daisy.

Cosmo ran for as explosions rang out across the ship. The conveyor belts stopped working. Suddenly the entire ship explodes.

"Cosmooo!" Galaxina said.

On a planet Cosmo opened her eyes, shaken at the memory. Then she looked over and saw Tails and Knuckles. Tails is typing on his comlink.
