After fueling their bodies and ship, Resari and Nefarious flew back to Bogon galaxy, it would be fast snivelakian had promised and Resari wasn´t exactly type to lie. They flew to planet Notak, flying to Canal City which lived up to its name as there was quite amounts canals around. It was late but bright lights made it look like day almost if you didn´t look up to sky.

Resari jumped out of ship, seemingly excited once more, not even his leg was going to slow him down “ Come on Nefarious, this way. “ he was heading toward shopping district at city´s promenade, robot sighed and followed, he was just glad they could breath in ease for now at least as there was basically no one around.

Snivelakian admired some of fashion displayed in store windows, it was well made but he had something specific in mind. Robot kept following, he was somewhat impressed all statues of the district, nothing could have beaten his statue that once had stood in Bazaar in Nefarious City, blasted Lombaxes and Resistance.

Resari then turned to Nefarious “ Wait here. “ he said before going at one of stores, self-service 24/6 type. Robot huffed, crossing his arms, it was better be worth the trip.

After some time Resari came back, grinning “ Alright, close your eyes and kneel down. “ he said, hiding something behind him, surprise eh? Fine, Nefarious did just that, closing his optics and kneeling down. He could feel something being put on him, around his neck, clawed fingers seemingly tying something at behind. Snivelakian backed off “ Alright, you can open them now. “ he said, robot stood up and opened his optics, what Resari had put on him was orange bandana, similar to his blue. Nefarious stared it, he was confused by this gift “ We match now! “ he rejoiced, pointing his own bandana, grinning “ I guess we do. “ Nefarious responded before snivelakian got somewhat serious “ But in all honesty Nefarious, I wanted to give you this as gift, gift of new life….. “ he stated “ I truly like to travel with you and I want you to be become better person. While heroes don´t think you can change, I do think! I wanna see you grow. “ Nefarious stared him in disbelief “ Are you sure Resari? Me? Adventurer and decent person? I am not sur- “ Resari cut him off “ Yes, I´m sure. So far you have done great, you haven´t hurt innocent people. “ he said but got head shake from ex-ruler “ Because for one; We have avoided people, two; I haven´t had reason to hurt anyone. And three; You would have gotten mad at me if I did. “ snivelakian took his hand then “ You are right, yes but I want you be better than what you were in past, no more are you a tyrannical ruler of galaxy. From this moment on you will be my traveling companion… a friend… please, least try? “ he pleaded, robot stared him, then his newly gained bandana and then around the area. Could he really be good or least decent person? After all this? Could he learn to be better than he was in past? When he tried to destroy dimensions out of thought of losing? Many would say he couldn´t change, that he was self-centered, full of himself, yet Resari had faith in him, either he was desperate for friend or stupid.

Resari looked him like waiting, patient now, he had high hopes for robot, he wanted him to get better, he had helped him so much since Thram. Yes, snivelakian wasn´t exactly good due attacking heroes at alley and then helping Nefarious out of Zordoom. People always have looked down on his species due majority are mercenaries, hired muscle, he too was once like that but no more, he didn´t want it. Universe wants to forget people like him and Nefarious. It wants them to be quiet, not hear their side. He won´t allow it have that joy, he wanted to share his stories, share his adventures and all his findings.

Nefarious sighed “ I guess I can try it, but I can´t promise anything. “ he said, Resari smiled “ Trying is good start. “ snivelakian responded, starting to head back to ship “ Come on! We are done here. “ robot rolled his optics, wondering if he could keep himself from crushing Rivet´s skull in case they would meet again. But that was concern of future, not present.

They got back to ship, Resari´s tail was moving fast, there was something in his mind, robot could tell as much, snivelakian would surely tell him once they would reach to space. He climbed into passenger´s seat, letting Resari start off the ship and take off, now maybe finally they could leave Bogon galaxy behind them once and for all.
