Foxete's POV:

I wake up to rustling behind me. I open my eyes and turn around. The boxes I'm resting on are definitely moving. I take the box off the top and eventually shift the boxers until I reach a hole that could hold a small person. Nobody was there though.
Did Damien make a fort?
    I turn around to ask him when I see someone dash behind the couch. I slowly approach the couch.
We have a stowaway?
I look under the couch and I see a small hybrid.
"Come on out. I won't hurt you." I speak in Animalian.
The small child walks out. It's that boy that I gave money to for food. His hair was teal, his eyes were light green.
"I speak English." He says quietly.
"Alright, your name was Ruon, right?" I ask.
"Yes, you're Foxete." He smiles a bit.
"Why're you here, buddy?" I sigh, sitting on the floor next to him.
"I had nowhere to go." He frowns, "Damien was nice! I liked you guys, so I hid on your ship." He has tears in his eyes.
My heart is practically torn in half.

Am I about to adopt a random child?
"I'll take care of you, buddy." I smile.
He runs over, and hugs me. I hug him back hesitantly. I've never been good at comforting. I can tell he's softly crying.
"It's okay, bud, you're with me, you're okay." I soothe the poor child.
Dex walks over to see what's going on. He is shocked to see a small hybrid boy crying on my lap.
"Who's he?" Dex asks.
"This is Ruon." I respond, "He's apart of our crew now."

Dex's POV:

Foxete apparently adopted a kid from Animales. His name is Ruon and to be honest, he kind of looks like her. It's been 3 hours, so I went to go check up on Tally.
"Hey man, just wanted to-" I stop when I realize where we are. I see Freddy's giant ship in front of us. I immediately draw my gun, "What is this?!" I snap.
Tally draws his gun, "Listen Dex, no hard feelings? Didn't realize how high your bounty is."
Tally grabs my arm and pins me into the wall. I see Lexi and Jake asleep on the floor.
"Jake! Jake wake up!" I try to wake him up.
"Don't bother trying." Tally sighs, "Really sorry about this, Dex. You guys seem like a cool bunch, but you won't win, so money seems worth it."
He raises his gun to my head.

"I'm truly sorry. 45,000,000 credits are really worth it." Tally frowns.

"Put the gun down Tallahassee." Foxete's voice demands from behind Tally.
"You should've just shot me Tally." I scoff.
Tally doesn't retreat.
"Last chance, man. I won't hesitate to shoot you." Foxete's voice waivers.
He drops me and stares her in the face. His gun is still pointed at me on the floor.
"You should've came with us." Foxete sighs.
Bang

Foxete's POV:

I sigh and put my gun away. Tally's dead body lies next to Dex. I stick my hand out to him. I can't look at Tally.
When I went to shoot him, I couldn't help but see Acron.
"Good job, kid." Dex sighs, "Help me fly this thing. We need to get out before Freddy sees us."
"He locked the door." I frown, "I teleported in."
I walk over to the controls and turn the ship around. Dex sets the coordinates to Enolva.
"Alright, kid. We did good." Dex nods.
"Please, don't call me 'kid'." I turn around and walk away, "Nobody calls me that anymore."
Dex seems to get it, "Sorry, Fox."
