Unfortunately, while they had done that, the last of the remaining toppats had taken the escape pod with the cracked window, and they were long gone.

And, looking around, there were no more escape pods left.

Henry's stomach falls as the realization hits.

They were stuck there.

And they were gonna die.

He slowly looks to Charles, seeing pure terror on his face.

Henry then sighs, slumping against the wall.

"Well... I guess that's it then..." He says slowly, sliding down the wall to sit on the floor. "We've done all we can do..."

After a minute or two, Charles sits next to him.

"Well hey, we got 'em, though..." he says with a little smile.

Henry smiles softly. "Yeah... I guess we did..."

He scoots a little closer.

Charles puts a hand on his. "Hey henry?"

Henry looks at him. "Yeah?"

Charles looks him in the eye.

"I love you."

Henry blushes, smiling.

"I love you too Charles... you were my bold action man."

Charles laughs, smiling brightly. "Thanks."

Henry takes his chin gently, leaning in to kiss him.

Charles moves his hand to hold Henry's waist as they share the tender moment together.

Suddenly, the robotic voice blared over the speakers.

"TEN SECONDS TO SELF DESTRUCT."

Then Charles suddenly gets an idea.

"TEN."

He pulls back, looking at henry.

"NINE."

"Wait, Henry, don't you have a teleporter?"

"EIGHT."

Henry remembered it, looking down. "Yeah, but that thing never worked."

"SEVEN."

Charles grabs his shoulders. "I don't care, use it anyway! It's our last chance!"

"SIX."

Henry shakily sighs. "Alright fine, hold onto me!"

"FIVE."

Charles hugs him tightly. "Ok do it now!"

"FOUR."

Henry reaches into his pocket and pulls out the green device with the red button.

"THREE."

He takes a deep breath. "Here goes nothing..."

"TWO."

He presses the button.

"ONE."

KABOOM.

The explosion of the space station could be heard galaxies away.

...

On earth, somewhere in a desert in the middle of nowhere, a green lighting portal opened up, spitting the two stickmen out of it, landing them in the sand.
