Po and The Guardian entered the Satellite Station, finally after so long. All they had to do was pull a bunch of levers and such.

The Guardian was relieved that their journey of chaotic and demonic monsters that nearly succeeded at killing them. But The Guardian wasn't ever going to let any of them lay a finger on Po.

Never.

Po eventually felt familiar metal on her feet, as if she were home again. She smiled a little before sighing. "After this, it's all gonna be over."

"I know. It's been such a crazy journey, eh?" The Guardian asked.

Po nodded. "It really has. I'm still glad that you saved me. This journey's been really scary, but you're always there to help me."

"It's my duty to protect you, Po. And plus, you're like, the only real friend I have. I consider you all my friends, but that was just because I got really lonely."

"Well, now you have me!" Po said with a giggle. "Anyway, before we encountered Laa, you said you always wanted a certain name! What was it?"

"Oh! Right! I always wanted to be named Wal-" He gasped and quickly covered Po's eyes.

"What?! What's wrong?! Is there a monster?!" Po whimpered.

"No...Just...Can you promise me something?" The Guardian asked.

"S-Sure!" Po said.

"When I uncover your eyes...keep them closed until I say to open them. Ok?"

"I...I promise." Po said as she closed her eyes. "But how will I see?"

"I'll hold your hand and help you through it. Ok?"

Po nodded and then gently grabbed ahold of The Guardian's hand as he uncovered her eyes, which were now closed. The Guardian then started walking through the Satellite Station.

There were tubbies. Dead tubbies. Covered in blood and their eyes closed, and with their bones broken and sometimes their intestines being shown. What kind of monster would've done this?

They kept walking through the Satellite Station, The Guardian trying not to look at the corpses of the blue tubbies. He felt terrible, but he couldn't dare let Po see and let her possible trauma increase. He already had a feeling he would be traumatized after this whole mess was over.

They were going to fix this. Everything was gonna be fine.

Suddenly, as they kept walking, they were far away from any dead tubbies.

The Guardian sighed in relief. "Ok. You can open your eyes."

Po opened her eyes and then looked at The Guardian. "Are...Are you ok?"

"I-I am. Just a little spooked." He said.

Po nodded before hearing coughing. "Huh...?"

"What was that?" The Guardian asked as he started walking towards the source, Po following close behind.

Suddenly, they came across a blue tubby! But they were alive! They had some blood on their fur, clearly from injuries and a black eye.

"Are you okay?" The Guardian asked, although he clearly wasn't.

"Pain...so much pain." The blue tubby said. "Please! You have to help us!"

"Who are you, mister? I've never seen a blue tubby." Po said.

"My name is Ron. I work here. We all work here. I'm an engineer for this facility."

"What happened?" The Guardian asked, kneeling down to Ron's level because he was sitting down.
