Goddamn, that report is horrible. The ugly words on the page... "Legacy will be left behind". Such a lie. Legacy's coming with me, Hell or highwater. Rem's going to be on the ship. I haven't told her about Legacy or anything. She's going to have her hands full with the revamp of Inverso Rosso project on her SEEDS ship. Sugara's going to be on another ship, and I'll be on the main one with Rem. Of course, unlike Rem, Sugara and I will be in the deep freeze like Legacy.

Time to get the kid and run.

I ran down the halls of the building. It's utter chaos, to put it lightly. It couldn't be better for stealing a kid.

I got to the solitary room in the back-most hall of the building. The main power of the place had already been cut off, leaving only the light of my flashlight to navigate. I got to Legacy's room, and opened the door. He was sitting on that pitiful excuse of a bed Sidacious supplied for him with his back facing me. It was as if he already knew what was...

"Ken-niichan...," he said quietly. "You're going to cut my hair, right?"

"How did you know what..."

"I heard you from down the hall. Everybody's gone? Even Sidacious?"

How in the world could this kid hear me from down the hall? I haven't said a word at all... Well, I always forget how he's half-human and half-Plant. But there have never been any reports of Plants reading minds. "Yes, they're all gone. It's just us, and soon you get to meet your daddy."

"Ken-niichan! What are you waiting for? Cut my hair! I want to meet my Daddy!!! Make it look good, okay?" Legacy said cheerfully. "Why have all the people gone?"

"There's something falling to this planet, and it'll destroy it. They're getting on the ships, like we're going to do," I said.

I tried to think of how to cut his hair. I know, that shouldn't be something to worry about when a giant rock is about to destroy your planet, but I've known this was going to happen for sometime now. Well... Legacy needs something where people from the Inverno Rosso or Estate Blue projects wouldn't recognize him easily. His most noticable feature was his eyes so... That's it!

"Ken-niichan... My depth perseption is screwed up!"

Legacy held onto my hand as we navigated through the darked halls. I found the exit eventually.

Legacy and I stood outside. It was nighttime, and the city neglected to turn off the lights. It was the eeriest sight I'd ever seen. New York City completely devoid of anyone except two scientists, a little boy, and probably some suicidal and cult people hoping that "The Calamity" would take them to the next level of exsistance.

Legacy looked just like Sugara with his hair like that, draped over his face. He's going to be one handsome bastard just like his dad.

"This place is great!" said Legacy. He was looking around at everything. It's his first time out of that damned white room. Rem, it's been three months sence Legacy was born, and he looks just like his dad. I can't wait for us to go to the next planet.

Just then, Sugara's car pulled up to the building. Thank god for that man's timing. Legacy looked up from the leaf he was looking at, over to the car. His eyes widened, and he smiled. Sugara ran over to us. He looked down at Legacy. For a moment, they just stared at eachother. Legacy latched onto Sugara, and Sugara held him.

"Daddy!!!" cried the little boy. "My Daddy!"

"That's right....that's right..."

"Hey, you two!" I hated breaking up the moment, but, there's a giant rock about to fall on us. "Legacy, Sugara. We need to plan somethings."

Sugara held his boy, and nodded. "Legacy," he said softly. He reached into his pocket, and pulled out a slip of paper. "When I take you to the ship, they'll ask you for your name. That's it, okay? If anyone asks you what your name is, this is how you will answer them. You can only tell Kenny, Rem, and myself who you are, okay?" Legacy looked at the slip of paper and nodded. "Once we get to the planet, Kenny and Rem will take care of you, and we'll meet up." Sugara smiled, and kissed him on the forehead.

"You brought a change of clothes for him, right?" I asked. Sugara nodded. "Well, I have to go to the ship in my car...you know... See you, Sugara! You too Legacy!" I secretly wondered what Legacy's name would be as I walked to the car. I'll probably never know.

"We were always fond of Italian names, weren't we, Kenny?" called out Sugara. Damn, it's both of them. "Take care, Kenny."

Goodbye for now...
