          The morning was soon upon the two, and they had finally reached their destination. F-120 was far different then Planet X, because it looked to be a much more safe and suitable climate. F-120 had beautiful green and blue colors visible from space, and Electro felt like he was at home once again. The green of the land reminded him of his tall trees, and the blue obviously reminded him of the water from Glim-53. When their spaceship was finally landed on the warm planet, the passengers all got off into some train station. The train station was truly known as a largata station, for no trains existed in it. Instead of trains that relied on the ground, largatas were metro-like carts that flew above the ground. Every rectangular cart on the largata had four boosters to stabilize it above ground, and they had two boosters on their back to propel the carts forward. To the English speaking people who have seen this sort of train station, they call these flying carts 'caterpillars', for the largata carts resembled a caterpillar as they moved. When their largata had gotten to them, Electro, Benkor, and the other passengers soon boarded it, so they could be taken to the fields they would farm that day. The two of them passed two large dragon-like guards on their way onto their cart. These dragon guards held large blasters with cyber bayonets on their ends (an electrical bayonet), and they stared each worker down as they boarded. The passengers getting onto the cart all looked to be very poor, yet this was to be expected from people who live like this. Electro and Benkor sat on some run down seats, and the largata soon took off. 

          "What's that?" asked Electro as he pointed to the advertisement above them.

          "Oh that... Yeah, we really don't go there." Benkor said as he evaded the question (for the advertisement was for a galactic strip club). "Only bad people go to places like that. Of course, so do some of the rich people." he then looked over to Electro, and he looked into his hopeful eyes. "You're neither rich nor bad, so no going there I suppose."

          "Wow, thanks." Electro said as he looked to the other advertisements. Above them was a whole array of beautiful colors, and each panel showed a beautiful ad. From products that made the fish skin of some aliens go away, to the oil companies for android life forms, a large selection was available for passengers of all sorts to look at. Electro however still stared at the photo of the woman on it. "She's just so... Beautiful." he said as he looked at her beautiful long blonde hair, and as he gazed into her blue eyes.

          "Yeah, well she's not as innocent as you'd think. She's probably having space sex with a Mordino man right now, and those beasts are huge!" said Benkor as his arms turned Electro's head from the advertisement. "Don't ask me how I know that though." he said as he touched his two boomerangs to ensure Electro would not ask about that.

          "Noted." said Electro with a weird look on his face, for he was clueless to what this meant when Benkor touched his boomerangs. "But may I ask, what is space sex? Is it like a large festival?" asked the curious Phantorian. Benkor's jaw dropped as far down as it could go when he heard this, for he did not believe it.

            "How do you not know wha... Look bud, I'm only your protector, not your daddy." he said as he raised his jaw back up. "You'll need to learn what space sex is from someone else, and definitely not me. I don't have time to talk about the scallys and the bees. Ask your father." he said as he rubbed his head.

          "Oh... Right, a father." Electro then held his head for the first time in awhile. "I don't have a father, he had passed away when I was only six years old."

          "Eh, don't worry about it. I have a father out there, but he's a bad man." said Benkor trying to liven up the situation. "My friend  once told me this however: it doesn't matter if you have parents around to help you through life, it just matters that you have a life to live." Electro smiled to this nice comment, but then he went back to looking around the cart that they were in. The largata continued flying over beautiful farmlands as they spoke with one another. Suddenly out of nowhere, bells and instruments were heard from a distance. These instrumentalists were getting closer and closer to their cart, and soon all of the aliens around him were tapping some part of theirs in time. While some clapped their hands to the beat, some chose also to stomp their feet or snap their fingers to the beat. The doors to their cart soon opened up, and five instrumentalists walked in with happy looks on their faces. The instrumentalists all wore brightly colored clothes, and they each held a different object in their hands. The shorter and wider one played a huge bass drum, while one taller one had a variety of bells that he played. The three other instruments are hard to describe to a human, yet they sounded like a saxophone, trombone, and tuba. They were constructed from what looked like tree wood, and many blades of grass were shoved into them for acoustics. Beautiful brown wood is what made these instruments as valuable as they were, for the polished look on them made them look amazing. Even though these instruments seemed like they would sound as if they were cheaply made, the music that came out of their ends was some of the most beautiful Electro had ever heard (granted that he never listened to music in Glim-53).
