Speaker 3 (01:03):
Oh this is bad. This is really bad.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yeah no, the fabric good time in space is cracking.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Well that doesn't sound too bad. They're just cracks, are
you crazy?

Speaker 4 (01:18):
Cracks in the galactic fabric cause.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
A black hole?

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Mister do Bloom lead the crew back to the ship.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Oh yeah, I get you are look Loydly, Well you
three coming or not? Wait? You can't leave. There's a
giant black hole right there.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
You better believe I'm leaving. I don't know how use
Space Alliance pilots do it. But I'm not putting my
crew in danger.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
But a black hole is bad for the entire galaxy.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Listen, kid, that's not my problem. My job is to
keep my family safe. Besides, the rest of the galaxy
hasn't cared about us for a long time, so why
should we put ourselves in danger for them?

Speaker 6 (02:08):
But don't bother, Zeke. We should have known space pirates
would only care about themselves.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Think what you want, kid, But if I were you,
I'd catch a ride with us and protect your friends.
Up to you, But we take off in five.

Speaker 7 (02:23):
You guys, the black hole is getting bigger, like a
lot bigger, Zeke.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
How much time do you guess we have?

Speaker 4 (02:37):
I calculate maybe ten minutes tops.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
So not a lot.

Speaker 6 (02:42):
Even if we sent an SOS to the Space Alliance,
No way would the captain get here in time.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
How did this even happen?

Speaker 4 (02:49):
My seria is that Kai's energy explosion earlier from the
solar diamond, mixed with the powerful leaking energy of the
open bridge created enough power to tear a hole through
space and time.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
But by my.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Calculations, if we close the bridge, there's a chance the
black hole will naturally patch itself up.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Got it, So all we need to do is close
the bridge. Then let's go.

Speaker 6 (03:17):
Okay, everyone push on three one two three.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
It's not budging. There's no way we'll be able to
close those doors with just the three of us. Okay,
let's think I got it.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
That button Malachi tripped over It opened the door, so
maybe it'll close them.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
It's not working. Is there another button? Zeek? Any other
ideas well?

Speaker 4 (04:00):
There's a theory among scholars that throwing something into a
black hole can make it collapse on itself.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Great, back to the helix nebula. Everyone, Oh wait.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
But it hasn't actually been tested.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
And kai keep the hatch open and bring the Helix
nebula right above the black hole, but not too close.
We don't want the ship to get sucked in. Roger
that Zeke, I need you to help me throw things
from the ship's open hatch. We'll tie ropes to ourselves
so we don't fall in on accident.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Gotty, oh a mc, I almost forget. We add this on.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Board, a spacesuit boot.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
For your sprained ankle. The Space Alliance equipped these suits
to also help out with injuries, you know, just in
case the pilot got injured while out in space. Parts
of the suit can be used as a cast. It'll
also help you move around like normal without any crutches. Cool.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
Huh great, I was kind of tired of hopping around
on one foot all day.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Anyway, much better.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
All right, let's go find stuff to throw into that
black hole.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
All right, I'm over the black hole opening the hatch now.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
First up the gym waits.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
No, doesn't look like it did anything.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
We're going to need something bigger. Okay. Next up the
cargo boxes.

Speaker 7 (05:39):
The cargo boxes don't both have our extra supplies in them?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
What good are extra supplies at the galaxy? Is will
buy a black hole?

Speaker 7 (05:47):
Oh? Good point.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, it still doesn't seem to be making a difference.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Okay, last thing, then the fridge.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Wait, what but what about all the food? It's for
the gott of the galaxy.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Ki, you'll be fine, But.

Speaker 7 (06:07):
What do you eat when the galaxy is safe?

Speaker 6 (06:12):
No?

Speaker 7 (06:24):
Hey, you guys, it's getting kind of hard to keep
the ship steady if we stay up here much longer
with these wins, I don't know if I can keep
us out of the black hole.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Okay, Kai, close the hatch and take us down.

Speaker 7 (06:38):
Huh oh, Roger, that.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
Is everyone Okay, Yeah, doesn't look like our plan worked though,
any other idea.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Zeke No, unfortunately not.

Speaker 6 (07:02):
We were so close to completing Mission X, but Silver
Eye and her terrible crew had to go and mess
everything up.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Ugh how oh my ankle, MC.

Speaker 7 (07:15):
I'm sure we can think of something else.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
No, I failed again. I'm going to let the Space
Alliance know what's happening. At least they'll be able to
come up with a plan before the black hole gets
to them.

Speaker 7 (07:33):
There's really nothing else we can do, Bro. We can't
just let a black hole full of monsters eat our
galaxy monsters.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Black holes don't have monsters.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (07:45):
Well that's good to know about the monsters. That is
because for a second while we were up there, when
MC was telling me to land, I thought I saw
something inside the black hole. But that's crazy, right, all.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
Right, you guys, I just sent a message to the
captain explaining the situation. Don't really know what good it'll
do us in a few minutes, but at least they'll
be prepared.

Speaker 7 (08:11):
Now.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
All we do is wait, I guess.

Speaker 7 (08:16):
Are we expecting guests?

Speaker 3 (08:18):
That can't be the Space Alliance. I just sent the message.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
All Right, kids, what do you need us to do?

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Silver Eye? What happened in saving yourselves?

Speaker 5 (08:36):
Ask your little friend Malagi. Turns out he makes a
pretty good argument. So what's the big plan?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (08:43):
We're actually not sure, but if you want to come
inside and help them come up with something, that'd be great.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Sink you want them coming into the hewit's nebula.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
I mean, we don't really have much of a choice him. See, Besides,
we can use the help.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Eh, follow me, Kai. You asked the Space Pirates to
come back. Why?

Speaker 7 (09:09):
Well, Zeke said we couldn't handle the black hole alone,
and you said there's no way the Space Alliance would
make it here in time. Besides, I feel really bad
technically it's kind of my fault the black hole is
even here to begin with. So while we were on
the ship and you two were throwing things, I sent
the Space Pirates a message. Thankfully I caught them before

(09:30):
they went into hyperdrive.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
But what did you say to them to make them
change their mind?

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (09:35):
That I just told Captain silver Ie that if she
really wanted to protect her family, she'd protect the galaxy.
They lived in, even if it meant teaming up with
people she didn't really like, because when you love and
care for people, you do your best to keep them safe,
you know, like you do for Zeke and.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
I right, your right, Malachi. You made the right call.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Am sheep Malachi. I think we figured.

Speaker 7 (09:59):
Out a plan.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
So can we save the galaxy?

Speaker 4 (10:05):
We can, and we're going to do it with Captain
Silver and a cruise help Y
