"Damn, that was… interesting." The Geddos muttered, not knowing the feeling building in his stomach.
Having been left to himself, the Geddos left the elevator and the opposite way into which Captain Teddy left. He went back into his base of operations. It only took a few minutes, after all, he was not followed this time and did not have to hide.
"Welcome back." A giant hologram of the Teddy Emperor was sitting in the centre of his base. He was resting his wrist on his knee while the other leg was straight, covering almost the entire base.
The Geddos simply ignored him, throwing the cloak onto a table. "Give me a moment," he said, not bothering to look at the hologram, "I will send you the coordinates in a moment."
The Teddy Emperor frowned. "I thought that I would get a bigger reaction out of you." He muttered. Then he shrugged: "Well, at least I will get the coordinates. So… What are you making in this funny base of yours?" His hologram—which is not a projection of the real Teddy Emperor, but an artificial intelligence—teleported through the room, changing size and inspecting different objects.
"Magic. Now leave, please."
"But… But the coordinates?" The hologram whispered.
The Geddos sighed and rubbed his forehead annoyed. He dropped his fists onto the table before speaking: "I will send out a signal into space, avoiding the Geddos Alliance's territory, which you can follow." He looked at the holographic Teddy Emperor, "Is that alright with you?"
"Sure!" And with this word, the hologram vanished.
The Geddos hit a button angrily, sending the signal into the deep abyss of space.

I was scribbling with my finger onto the air. It was weird, because I was sure, whatever I wrote stayed in place. "Am I… am I going mad?" My voice was still hoarse and I continued writing, but suddenly—
"Where am I?" Someone demanded from behind me.
I spun around in place and was shocked. Through my eyelids I could make out a blurry plushie. For a short moment, I thought it was a Teddy copy, but then the voice hit me again. It was a Geddos.
"You!" He screamed and ran towards me, "You bastard helped that arrogant Teddy to escape!" The plushie jumped at me, trying to hit me.
It felt surreal as his soft fist hit me and dislocated my jaw. "Ah!" I moaned in pain and dropped to the ground. "Shtop…"
He jumped at me again and I rolled to the side. "Get here." He yelled, "FOR THE SUPREME KING!"
I dodged his blurry fist and ran towards the floating text I had scribbled across the air. I would have thought it would disappear once I got hit against the head. I passed through the text, as if it was not real.
The Geddos copy ran towards me as if he was not able to see the text and jumped right into it. "Die!" He screamed, the moment he touched the text it blinked brightly, "F-fuuu."
And once I opened my eyes, he was gone. The text was gone as well. "I'm… I'm sorry." I whispered. "Huh?" My jaw! It was healed. Overcome by a sudden joy I examined the rest of my body. I felt revitalised and my muscles felt thicker as I touched them.
