“I look magnificent!”

Tobin grinned and laughed, shaking the royal park’s artificial rock formations into thunderous collapse.
Alarms immediately rang out overhead.
A guard shouted, “We’re under attack! Enemy attack!”
Elsewhere…
After barely escaping the black hole, Rafael had fled for 80,000 light–years. At last he collapsed on a barren, dead planet.
“Whew…
“I finally got away!”
He had only just relaxed, his face swollen and purple, when the sky above the dead planet went dark.
This was no cloud cover. A black celestial body many thousands of miles across, draped in red and blue police lights and sporting two huge colorful feathers in its nostrils, had torn through the void and stopped directly over him.
Rafael’s smile froze. So did the rest of him.
Spotting him, Tobin lowered its great head. The two bright peacock feathers beneath its nose fluttered cheerfully in Rafael’s face.
The younger cub rode on top, a fan of peacock plumes stuck into his rear. He was noisily nibbling a thousand–year energy fruit he had swiped from the royal gardens.
When he saw Rafael, his eyes lit up as though he had found his favorite toy.
“Ee–yah!”
Tobin’s voice boomed across the dead planet, brimming with innocent, heartfelt gratitude.
:
“Hey, buddy!
“You’re fast! We’ve been looking everywhere for you.
“Little bird is so much fun. We cleared the morning traffic together, he gave me a makeover, and he treated me to royal delicacies.
You gave me such a wonderful present. How could I leave you wandering around all alone?
“Come on, buddy Hop aboard! We’re going to demolish the Empire Senate.”

Rafael stared at the immense black paw reaching eagerly toward him, then at the cub’s fiercely excited
“No…”
He waved his hands frantically. “No, thanks. You two have fun without me.”
Are they insane? Who the hell wants to play with them?
“No need to be shy with us, buddy!”
Tobin’s face, vast enough to swallow a galaxy, shone with affection. Its black–hole paw allowed Rafael no chance to refuse.
Like an excavator scooping up custard, it dug him out with a single crack, taking the whole section of planetary crust beneath his feet along with him.
“AAAH! Let go! I want to go home!
“I’m not demolishing anything!”
Wedged between those gigantic fingers, Rafael squawked like a rubber chicken being squeezed. His eyes nearly burst out of his puffed–up face.
“Ee–yah!”
Still gnawing his thousand–year energy fruit, the younger cub excitedly patted Tobin’s head with a wing.
Tobin understood immediately and called to Rafael,
“Hang on, buddy! Next stop, a joyride at the Senate!”
It snorted happily. Dark matter streamed past the two splendid feathers in its nostrils like long plumes of exhaust.
With a violent twist, its great body tore through space. A gigantic festive ball trailing flashing red and blue lights, it hurtled toward the seat of imperial power: the Senate’s assembly planet.
Inside the Empire Senate, the mood was solemn.
Dozens of stern elders in magnificent robes sat around a floating circular table for an emergency summit on “Interstellar Border Defense and Cosmic Security.”
The Chief Elder declared with grave indignation, “Colleagues, an exceptionally vile criminal force has appeared in our universe!
“They have openly robbed our traffic patrol of its equipment. They even infiltrated the royal park and brutally plucked our sacred guardian, the nine–colored glass peacock, until it looked like a chicken ready
for the oven.
“These atrocities challenge the Empire itself and trample the rule of law. We must strike wi
