Reunion

[UnStellar]

Syra glumly sat in Tepper's ship's bridge, on the way back from the Nap disaster. She tucks her knees under her chin, thinking deeply, about Xap... Purple oceans, green forests, stunning cities... Fate's Throne. Oh, so many great nights there... And all her friends, and the Paxan people in general... She missed her people. She missed the reassuring familiarity of purple eyes... But most of all, she missed William. Why had he left her?

Discreetly, a portal opened on the bridge, and out stepped A burly man in tailored suit, HAVOK gloves on his hands. He folded his arms and cleared his throat, Syra's eyes shot up.
"Mister... Jared?" He nodded, and, for the first time he had ever seen, he smiled.

 She stood up and ran towards him, as another figure emerged from the portal. She gasped when she saw it. His blond hair was slightly unruly, he smiled rakishly, He wore a business tux that didn't suit him. He threw open his arms and she jumped into them, covering him with kisses.
"Oh... Syra I missed you so much." He squeezed her, closer, tighter to himself, planting a firm kiss on her lips. She moaned and broke the kiss.
"William... I-"
"Babe, We'll have plenty of time to catch up. The portal won't stay open long. We're stretching even Mr. Jared's extensive abilities. TEPPER!" He shouts, both verbally and telepathically.
"We need to talk, old friend..."

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

Back on Aralia, Tepper was in the Capital. He heard it... "Is that Nova?". He looks around for the source of it. "Nova!!! Where are you bud!

[UnStellar]

"We're on your ship, Tepper. Defy the fields around you... You must get here, friend. We can't stay long. Once the portal closes, we might not be able to open it again."

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

"Fuck it...might as well", He Teleports to them. "William! Is that really you?"

[UnStellar]

He smiles, and arm still around Syra.
"Mr. Tepper... It's good to see you. I want to thank you for all the generosity you've shown Syra, and me, and the Paxans in general. No matter what they say about you... You're a good man, Mark Tepper." He extends his hand.

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

Tepper never exspressed emotions. He was taught not to, But for the first time in over 1000 years, Tepper had tears running down his face as he shook Nova's Hand... "Nova. I hate to see you go.". Tepper looks sadly at his friend. "Take this". He takes his Diamond Encrusted Golden Eagle Pin, which signified the ISAF Lt. Commander, off and hands it to Nova. "This old soldier is out of war stories son... Be happy my friend.". Tepper smiles.

[UnStellar]

Nova begins to cry, and reaches for the pin, but pauses, closing Tepper's hand around the pin.
"Maybe this old soldiers came make some ones. You won't believe it Tepper, we got taken to a new dimension, it's the Belkans, Mark, your people! We found them!"

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

"The Belkans? You found Belka?", Tepper stands there speechless. "But, they became Tier 0. They Left.", he pauses... "They opened the portal didnt they..."

[UnStellar]

"Sir... Hurry..." Mr. Jared wheezed. He was trembling. Cross-dimensional portals were hard to sustain.
"Mr. Jared, go back. Tell the Belkans to prepare to open a portal in the empty space near Xap." He followed his orders, and the portal ended.
"You can bring Grunder with you."

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

Tepper nods... "We'll be there...". He sends out an Immediate transmission to every Grunder Office, Factory adn Ship. <<<P-x, 1300, I-RCall. Priority 0439er". Every Grunder Ship immediately set course for the Transmissions coordinates. On the ships were every Grunder Employee,Tech and loved ones... They'd be ready. Tepper looks back at Nova. "Im finaly going home"

[UnStellar]

He smiled at him.
"We both are." It wasn't long before an enormous portal opened nearby, ready to take Grunder to a better world...

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

Back on Aralia, Sudentor's teleportation drive activates and teleports to Xap as the rest of the Grunder Armada arrives. Everything to do with Grunder Ind. Ltd. would be gone from the Shattered Planes...Everything. "Forward! Into the portal.", Tepper orders to the fleet. In just a few moments, Grunder was gone, Its Offices,Tech, Employees, and Tech were out of the Shattered Planes. The only thing that remained was Tepper,Nova, Syra and his Ship. "Are you ready my friend?"

[UnStellar]

He grips Syra's hand tightly.
"More than you know, Mark."

The ship vanishes inside he portal, and it closes immediately behind them.

All of Grunder, the UP, Nova Corp... It was in a better place.
