"What… where's the Delivery Man?"
"In a better place, Sister. I thought you were no longer talking to me…
…and why are all of you gathered here?"
The light of the space station drowned Riley as he emerged from the portal, even more so than usual. The portals which were littered everywhere, now all gone as the last very slowly faded away behind him.
His clones were all still there, some just resting on the floor while the others were talking to the Hera variants. But most importantly, everyone was currently gathered in the auditorium; even Empress and Queen Vania were present. And to Riley's surprise…
…Pirate Queen Xra.
"Oh, you are back, Pirate Queen Xra," Riley could really only blink a couple of times before looking at the others, "Who found you?"
"No one did," Pirate Queen Xra crossed her arms and scoffed, "I was never lost in the first place, Riley Ross."
