Post Inkperial Order short story 1: Hardships

Hakai was playing with Astra, Ove, and Essy. Hakai smiled happily as she loved seeing her sister happy, and was accompanied by Rizu. Hakai was feeling better every day after the defeat of the Inkperials and the New order thinking that she was free of tragedy. Soon Eggy had arrived to pick up Ove and Essy.

"Keep being an awesome brother to your sister!!!" Astra happily said to Ove

"Keep being an Awesome sister to Hakai!" Ove responded happily

Soon Eggy went back home and Astra turned to chat with Hakai and Rizu.

"I bet Ove is such an awesome brother to have!" Astra said

"I bet he i–" Hakai suddenly paused

Astra and Rizu waited for Hakai to finish her sentence but Hakai wasn't talking.

"S-sis are you okay?" Astra worryingly said

"I-I'm fine" Hakai said

"What's wrong" Rizu said in concern

"I said I was fine" Hakai said as she walks away

Hakai walks to her room and closes the door behind her. Astra and Rizu nervously walk to the room door where they hear Hakai crying. Astra and Rizu wait outside the room but the crying only intensifies.

"D-did I do anything to her?" Astra whispered to Rizu

"I think you might have made her think about Aithan" Rizu whispered to Astra

"Isn't Aithan her... dead brother" Astra softly realized

"Yes... her younger brother" Rizu whispered to Astra

Soon the next day arrived, as Astra and Rizu were eating their breakfast they saw Hakai wasn't eating her breakfast.

"A-aren't you going to eat something?" Astra said worried

Hakai didn't respond

"Sis are you okay!?!" Astra worried more

"Where is Collector" Rizu said to Astra

"I think he's busy right now" Astra said

"Where. Is. Collector" Rizu said with determination

"He's probably in Stickia" Astra gave up

"I need to talk with him" Rizu said

"I'll just call him" Astra said

"Now" Rizu said

Astra quickly called the Collector and the Collector soon picked up.

"What is it Astra" Collector said

"Rizu wants to talk to you" Astra said

"Rizu can wait" Collector said

"Hakai is seriously depressed and I believe it has to do with a certain someone" Rizu said

"I'll try to make time to talk to you Rizu" Collector said

Soon Collector and Rizu went back to an old United Universes base planet and into the jungles where the Spartans had sacrificed themselves in order to allow the United Universes to beat the Inkperials. Soon Rizu and Collector stumbled upon Achillies' corpse.

"Is this him?" Collector said

"Yes that's him" Rizu said

Soon Collector and Rizu took the corpse and buried the other 29 corpses. They soon returned back home where they began to get to work with the corpse. Meanwhile Astra was sitting with Hakai as Hakai was seriously depressed.

"Sis... you are scaring me" Astra nervously said

Astra suddenly got a message from Collector, she quickly read the message through her systems, and she felt more nervous.

"Sis... I don't think Aithan is truly gone" Astra said

"He couldn't have survived an explosion" Hakai said

Soon Astra ran out of ideas but she got a new message from Collector. Astra hugged Hakai in an attempt to make her happier and Hakai hugged Astra but was crying over Astra's shoulder when she suddenly saw the door to her room open. Hakai watched as she suddenly noticed a familar loved one enter the room.

"You told me Aiko was still alive" A familar voice said

Suddenly Hakai saw Aithan enter the room.

"AITHAN!!!" Hakai shouted

"AIKO!?!" Aithan said

Hakai and Aithan quickly hug each other and Hakai started to cry on his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry that you were forced to fight for the Inkperials!!!" Hakai cried

"Sis... it's okay" Aithan said

Awwwwwww it’s wholesome

Is Collecter gonna adopt him too?

Collector: ... Probably. But this is an instance where I cannot see past the fourth wall so I do not know what his fate will be.

Collector: I am many things, but a liar is not one of them. I said I'd go to hell and back, so that's what I did.

(I assume that's what happened)

*the other 29 corpses watching from the afterlife*

Oh ok that happened

Ok
