Tabitha’s POV: I couldn’t connect with the gem. My connection was severed by the explosion. I don’t know if Y/N made it out alive, and she probably thinks I didn’t. Damn it… SHE’S probably happy about this. SHE never liked me connecting with the gem. SHE’S held me prisoner ever since she destroyed my planet. No, not Y/N. HER. Lord Dominator. I barely managed to send my gem out, and I didn’t even get to ask for help out of here. And just my luck, Dominator was heading to Y/N’s galaxy. Worst of all… it was all my fault. Y/N’s POV: Hater was trying to take over a very basic brown planet. It was quite small, and uninhabited, so I’m not sure why. But of course, the Terrific Trio (that’s what I’m calling Wander, Sylvia, and I) swooped in to save the day. Hater laughed maniacally. “I hereby conquer this planet in the name of LORD HATER! The greatest in the galaxy!” A watchdog in the corner played a thunder sound effect as Hater used his lightning powers to make himself look cool. Wander, being Wander, stole Hater’s flag. “Hey, Hater! Got your team's flag! Gotta tag me!” He said, before running off. I giggled. I was sitting next to Sylvia (who was napping) on a hill. “RAAAAAAAAAH! GET BACK HERE!” Hater screamed, starting to chase after Wander. Peepers looked very upset about that. “Oh, please, sir, no! Just ignore 'im! You know Wander's the reason you're no longer the greatest in the galaxy.” I heard him say. Uh oh. Hater wouldn’t be happy with that news. Hater gave Peepers a very angry look, but he didn’t look particularly scary from where I was sitting. Probably because I was so far away. Peepers looked undeterred. “I'm sorry, sir, but it's true. You wasted so much time chasing him around the universe that you've lost any standing you had as a real villain! And now, there's bad guys everywhere taking over all the territory you lost! You're more like twenty-ninth greatest in the galaxy! Which is why we need to get back in the game and conquer as many planets as possible!” Wander walked back into Hater’s view with the flag. “HATER!” He called, then proceeded to sing a little tune, for whatever reason. He ran off. “Peepers, that's totally what I'm trying to do, but, like, Wander totally took our flag!” Complained Hater. “Sir, the flag is really just symbolic.” Insisted Peepers. I wondered why Peepers worked with Hater, he was so grop darn ANNOYING! A group of watchdogs began to chase Wander, running over Peepers in the process. I cringed. That had to hurt. Sylvia must’ve heard Wander yelling in the distance, because she yawned, and woke up. “That's my cue. Y/N? You coming with?” I nodded, and took a baseball bat out of my new bag. My personal weapon of choice. I would’ve taken Tabitha, but… she hadn’t been talking to me recently, and I doubt she’d help me fight. Hater and the watchdogs were yelling wildly, trying and failing to catch up to Wander. Sylvia and I rushed in, and managed to knock out most of the watchdogs. I felt really awesome, for once. Suddenly, a huge black shadow fell over us. Everyone stopped what they were doing, even Hater and Wander. A massive drill came out of the shadow, and broke Hater’s ship in half! It completely destroyed planet. I looked up, absolutely terrified. “Oh my grop. Who’s- who’s this guy??” “Definitely new to the neighborhood.” Wander gasped. “Maybe we should go say hi!” Sylvia grabbed Wander, stopping him from rushing away. “Wander, these are bad neighbors, and I think it's time to move.” However, Wander just ran off again. “Uh, sorry, Syl. But what do I always say? An enemy is just a friend you haven't made yet!” I had never heard him say that before, but it did sound like something he’d say. He was already riding the drill up to the top of the ship! “Sometimes, you have to look beyond the demonic exterior of someone's horrifying battle cruiser, find the person inside, and offer them your friendship!” Wander said, cheerful as ever. Sylvia facepalmed. “No matter how terrified you may be! Besides, I have a secret weapon!” Wander pulled out a fruit basket. “Going up! First floor, scary lava ship. Top floor, friendship! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” Sylvia sighed. “Got your back, buddy, with two weapons of my own. Right, ladies?” That was in reference to her fists, The Lady Haymaker and The Duchess of Wailing. Clever names. “And I’ll be there for you as well!” I held up my baseball bat. Sylvia and I hopped onto the drill after Wander.
The inside of the ship was… strange, to say the least. “Hello! Anybody here?” Wander asked. “Welcome to our galaxy!” Despite his cheerful attitude, he was clearly scared. So was I. “Well. Nobody home. Let's go.” Sylvia said, rushing away, but Wander was still walking forward. Sylvia disappears from the screen, but Wander is still walking forward. “No way. Ship this big, there's gotta be someone on board. If you don't like fruit... there's also a selection of small cheeses!” I had the strangest suspicion that we were being watched. As we continued walking, a bunch of rolling balls came up towards us. “Finally. The welcome party!” Exclaimed Wander. Sylvia rolled her eyes. “Not the vibe I'm getting here.” The balls then transformed into ball-shaped robots sporting lava guns. Wander started walking around them, waving hi. “Hello! Hey, there! Folks call me Wander,” He grabbed Sylvia’s and My arms. “and these two ladies are Sylvia and Y/N! Welcome to the galaxy. We hope you will accept our humble gift of-“ The robots shot us, and Wander screamed. Sylvia attempted to punch one of them, but she fell back in pain upon impact. Wander ran up to Sylvia. “Sylvia, you okay?” He asked. “Watchdogs are usually so soft and mushy.” Sylvia said, standing back up. “Don’t worry Syl, I’ll take care of this guy!” I said, swinging my baseball bat at the robot. However, my trusty bat was no match for the solid robot, and it snapped in half, holding on by a thread. The robot fired some lava at me, but it hit the baseball bat, which fixed it and coated it in a tough metal. “Thanks! This’ll make destroying you so much easier.” I said. The robot then shot another beam of lava at me, forming handcuffs. Oops. Couldn’t get out of that one. They then did the same thing to Sylvia, who proceeded to break the cuffs, but they just reformed even tighter. Wander shuffled up to the robots, still holding the fruit basket. “Perhaps you did not notice our gift.” His tone shifts to a cheerful one. “From your new friends! To... whoever you are!” The robot sprouted an arm and took the basket. “See, Syl? An enemy is just a friend you-“ the robot sprouted another arm and grabs Wander. a second robot picks up Sylvia and I.
