After ceasing his crying, Charles lied down on the bed and closed his eyes in a attempt to sleep.

But the pilot couldn't go to sleep. His mind, as if it wanted to annoying him - kept repeating the moment he was betrayed. It repeated itself, over and over again like if he was in a loop.

He didn't know, but he wasn't the only one awake. Henry; had just woken up from a nightmare, that has stuck with him ever since it happened...

- FLASHBACKS -

Henry was sitting in the bar, being presumed dead wasn't easy. It was challenging hiding his idenitity but he managed. On the bars' TV was the news channel, talking about the toppat clan getting into the space using their Oribital Station. The former thief heared shooting outside and went to check it out.

That's when he re-united with Charles who tried to unsuccessfully stop the 3 toppats taking the vault. The boys catched up at the bar and Charles suggested him and Henry take the toppat clan down for good. Henry liked the idea and decided to help his friend.

In the UFO, Henry was hidden amongst a ball of trash that was sent to the Oribital Station. He was now successfully on the station without getting noticed. There was a problem though, he was on the outside - not the inside.

"Y'know what? Nah, this calls for some bold action."

"♪I'M THE BOLD ACTION MAAAAAAAN-" - Before Henry could react Charles has crashed the UFO into him. Hitting the Oribital Station's core but also getting both of them inside.

"WARNING! CRITICAL DAMAGE TO CORE. PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY." - announced the machine

Henry and Charles got up and started running, until they got to a busted door. Charles saw a vent, and suggested they go thru it - which Henry accepted as there was no other way around. As they were crawling thru the vents Charles was singing.


They found a hallway which a bunch of toppats were running thru, After waiting for all the Toppat's to pass by, Charles and Henry got out of the vent and headed thru the hallway. They found a room with 3 escape pods, and 1 space that seemed already used. One of the escape pods had the word "LUXURY" meanwhile they saw a Toppat go into the other Escape pod, leaving only one that's supposedly available.

They entered the escape pod that had struggled to open.

"Ah well, that was intense. Can't wait to go ho-" - Charles stated before Henry was thrown out of the escape pod by Jacked Hughman.

Charles quickly got up from his seat and pushed Henry back to the escape pod. Unfortunetly the door closed, leaving him and the Toppat on the Oribital Station. Henry could only watch, as the Oribital Station became smaller as he traveled further away.

"Ah man, that roughed me up." - Charles said over the ear piece.

"Should be another escape pod around here somewhere...."

"We did it though, we gottem."

"Pretty good plan..."

"You could say it was the greate-" - Charles was cut off by the explosion of the Oribital Station. Henry's bestfriend was gone. Forever...
