Tobin gave Rafael a friendly wave, then swung its enormous tail. Its body, police lights, and splendid nose feathers blurred into warped light.

“We’ll come take you out again tomorrow, buddy!”

Pop.

Before every watching eye, the black-hole-sized beast and its swaggering little passenger simply slipped out of existence.

Not even a trace of spatial disturbance remained. They were gone in a flash.

Deathly silence filled the vast, ruined chamber.

Then dozens of imperial elders and thousands of fully armed mech guards turned their murderous gazes on the table at its center.

Rafael lay alone on the table amid the rubble, a purple, shriveled wreck.

He shakily lifted his face, so swollen his own mother wouldn’t have recognized him. All around him were the dark barrels of energy cannons. Overhead, the blue sky was empty. Tears spilled down his cheeks.

“I… I’m really not with them…

Sniffling, he raised both hands, weak and pitiful. “Suppose I told you they kidnapped me… Honorable elders, could I get a lighter sentence for turning myself in?”

“Seize him!”

The Chief Elder wiped fruit pulp from his face. His furious roar nearly shook what remained of the chamber apart.

Dozens of heavy alloy restraints clamped onto Rafael without ceremony. In seconds he was trussed up inside a mass of metal.

He could have cried himself to death.

What did I do to deserve this?

What had he done to deserve those two disasters?

The Chief Elder was still not satisfied. He stared at the bound Rafael and ordered coldly, “Notify Calum. I want that beast and that thieving little bird brought back here, even if he has to deploy the army.”

Elsewhere…

Emma had joined the search for her younger cub, but there was still no news. She was frantic.

It’s been so long. How can we still have nothing…?”

He might have awakened a rare spatial jump ability, but he was still a round-cheeked baby whose days revolved around eating and sleeping. Alone out there, he could run into interstellar robbers or savage cosmic beasts…

The thought made Emma’s chest tighten again and again.

Click.

The automatic doors to the warship’s control room slid apart.

Calum strode in, stern in his military uniform. Kieran and the others followed, their expressions equally

grave.

Emma hurried over the moment she saw them.
