Royal: Hey babe, are you awake?

Star: Mmm... Just a little. Why what's up?

Royal: I made a schematic for the new hyperdrive that The Atlas gave us. I figured you wanted to check it out.

Star: Of course I do, let me get a drink and I'll be out there ASAP.

Royal: Okay, my love. I'm in no rush, so take your time.

The Star takes off his helmet and breathes in the air around him. This is the first time they've been on a planet with fresh air together. He grabs an energy drink from the cooler inside the kitchen and guzzles it down instantly. He was prepared to conquer anything.

Star: Okay, I'm good to go. Let's see this schematic!

Royal: Okay! Here's what I've come up with.

Star: Whoa...

Royal: We will use that fragment that The Atlas gave us, and put that inside the hyperdrive chassis, but this isn't any ordinary hyperdrive. It's a new type that uses this fragment, and I call it the "Atlas Hypercore Omnidrive".

Star: Wow honey, I love it! I wish I could've helped you with it, though.

Royal: It's okay, and I appreciate your concern, but I was still able to get it done in about a day. Anyways, we will install this into my ship. That fighter of yours has far superior technology compared to this, but this will help you and I get to systems and even universes much quicker!

Star: That's amazing, but I need to ask a question. Why did you call it an "Omnidrive"? Are you implying that...

Royal: We will get to the Omniverse? Yes, we will.

Star: I- I don't know what to say... Come here.

The Star walks up to The Royal and hugs her tightly. He is very grateful for her, and all that she does.

Royal: Mmm... This is nice.

Star: I don't know what I would've done without you. You've done so much for me, and I'm very grateful for it.

Royal: Your love and affection have brought me peace in such a dystopian time, I needed you from the beginning. If we knew each other sooner, who knows how things would've turned out? Let's leave this universe, and find our origins. I already set up the Omnidrive. I'm ready when you are, my lovely man.

Star: I'll grab and pack our things, I'll also let the others know that we're heading there. They will follow us from behind.

Royal: Okay, thank you... *kiss*

It is time, they're ready to leave this universe for good. Everything has been set and put in place, and everyone's notified. The time to put everything behind them and start a new life begins now...

On the edge of the universe...

Star: Running diagnostics... Everything is looking good.

Royal: Good, the Omnidrive is ready for activation. Give me the word when you're ready.

Star: I'm ready...

Royal: Beginning activation. Launching in 3...2...1... NOW!

*zzzZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMmmm*

Star: Crimson... I know this feeling. I can feel his presence! My father, I'm coming home, I'll finally be able to meet you! I've been waiting my whole life for this moment, and I will NEVER back down! I WILL show you that I AM worthy of being your son... I will live up to your power, no matter how hard that achievement may be. It's time to finally go home!
