"Sore but, kind of amazing," I replied.

James smirked.

"And why is that?"

"Because it's over, James. Christopher is dead and we're finally free!"

His smirk faded.

"What's wrong?" I asked with nervousness.

"I have a lot to take care of because of his death. Now that I'm the new leader, I have to address the public of his death. It's going to take a lot of work but, I think I'll get through it. The major problem is... Planet Ceres," James exposed to me.

My mouth gaped open as I remembered the incident on our journey to Planet Niribu. There was a battle between our ship and Planet Ceres's ship. I destroyed it with my abilities.

"But, shouldn't they be happy that Christopher is dead?" I proclaimed.

"What this planet did will never be forgiven, Sapphire," James murmured.

"What do we do?" I said with a terrified face.

James saw my terrified face and squeezed my hand gently.

"Let's not worry about it now."

I nodded my head slowly. I understood that there was a lot in his plate right now and that worrying about it now wasn't necessary. There was multiple problems that we faced now such as repairing Earth, introducing James as the new leader, and more. We didn't know what to expect from the public if they would rejoice at Christopher's death or riot.

The only thing we could do now was to solve things one by one together.

After a few more tests, Doctor Norman let me out in crutches like he promised. The crutches were getting tiring after a while so he moved me into a wheelchair for now. James was now pushing my wheelchair out of the hospital into the chilly air. James told me that winter was approaching and that soon, snow will come. I had changed out of the hospital gown a couple of minutes ago and had a purple sweater on with along skinny jeans. I took deep breaths of the clean cold air.

"Where are we going?" I wondered to James as he helped me into the hovering vehicle.

"My house," James replied with a big smile.

I chuckled as James closed the door to go around the other side. He slipped inside with me and the driver turned on the vehicle. We started moving and I leaned into James getting comfortable.

"Will I meet Zeus?" Remembering his k-9 that he told me about a while ago.

It seemed like ages ago at the space station when I asked James to tell me about himself.

"Of course," James laughed softly at me.

Forty minutes passed by during our ride as I snuggled against James just staring out the window. Planet Niribu was a pretty planet with its perks, it was going to become a even better with Christopher gone. I just knew it and soon, I'll return to Earth making it a better planet too. My heart sadden thinking of Finn as Earth popped into my mind, I promised myself I'll bury him back home.

We were in the middle of woods and I pouted. Why was James's house in the middle of the woods? A sign appeared in the window and it said "Welcome to Covington Woods." There was a black iron gate up ahead and the driver popped his hand out through the open window to swipe a card in this machine. The gate swung open with a loud creek and we passed through it.

Then, the house that shown in my eyes took my breath away. It was a large wooden mansion that had a small pond near it. It looked peaceful and beautiful, I understood why James's house was here now. I heard James chuckle and I gazed at him.
