Planet X death stared at Mercury.

Planet X: Cut the ties, my friend.

Mercury whimpered.

Mercury: I uh- I...

Mercury sounded frantic.

Planet X: EY! I ain't goin' do nothing to ya as long as you tell me what I want. I've said it once I ain't saying it twice.

Mercury forced himself into confidence.

Mercury: I understand...

Planet X stared off near the Sun for a moment, a moment of silence. Then looked back at Mercury.

Planet X: I knew I could count on you. Besides, gaslighting others really does work doesn't it- WAIT-

Mercury: Wait- are you just lying to me so I'll tell you what you wanna know?

Mercury sounded relatively serious.

Planet X knew he slipped up.

Planet X: Wanna find out? I'm all for it.

Mercury stared Planet X directly into his eyes.

Mercury: Wait...why should I even be scared of you? Yeah sure- you may be like almost the size of Neptune- but that's besides the point! You-

Planet X cut off Mercury.

Planet X: THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE MERCURY!

A moment of silence unveiled as they looked each other both in the eyes.

Mercury: Fine...

Mercury gave up.

Planet X: Wise choice.

Triton suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Triton: It won't be so wise once I make you a dead giveaway to the whole Solar System, now will it?

Planet X had a blank stare at Triton for a moment, before processing what he had said.

Planet X: First off... Triton how did you get here? I mean- HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS-

Triton: Well, Neptune let me go explore for a bit. But I came across a much more entertaining sight.

Mercury just watched.

Triton: But... I ain't just gonna let you boss Mercury around! So either leave 'em be. Or I'll tell the whole Solar System about you!

Planet X did a sinister laugh.

Planet X: And who's gonna believe you?

Triton thought for a moment.

Triton: Good point...but I still ain't just gonna let you force Mercury.

Suddenly, Planet X noticed Neptune Coming.

Planet X: SHIT-

Planet X flinged Mercury away from him with his gravity, Mercury was flung at Triton. However Triton was pulled into Mercurys gravity and they both got flinged in random directions.

Planet X "escaped"

Neptune: Uhhh...you guys okay?

Triton quickly went towards Neptune.

Triton: Planet X is here!

Neptune: Oh he's back eh?

Neptune looked unamused.

Neptune: Last time me and- the other gas giant-

Proteus spoke up.

Proteus: Uranus.

Triton and Mercury laughed.

Neptune: SHUT UP- Ahem- well last time he got forced away by the both of us. So I can take him on.

Mercury looked unsure.

Neptune: Mercury, just go back to where you're supposed to be. And Triton, stay with me. I don't want that thief to off you.

Triton: Yeah Whatev.

Mercury agreed and dashed off back towards the inner-solar system.


In the distance.

Planet X: Oh he wants to interfere again? Well let's see how he likes it when I kidnap Triton!
