I heard "whispers" from Kenny, and I answered how I usually do. And apparently, Legacy does, too. I smile slightly at the thought, and think of how many times Legacy must have spoken to him that way. I can't beleive how much he's grown... I mean, he's part Plant, so he'd grow faster than most boys. Fuck, he should be only three months old! He doesn't age as fast as the Plants, though. I put Legacy in my car, and watch Kenny from my rear veiw mirror.

Oh shit. No! Goddamnit, Sidacious, why in the hell do you have to show up NOW?!

Legacy looks up at me, I can feel him trying to go into my mind. I manage to keep him out for now. I start the car, and look back again for Kenny. Sidacious is confronting him!

"SUGARA!!! Get the hell outta here, don't worry 'bout me, I'll get to tha ship in time!" Kenny yelled at me. "NOW!"

Forgive me, I must leave you, Kenny. I know you understand and hear me. I see your charming smile from here. Legacy, I'll take you to Rem's ship.

Kenny, goodbye. I love you for what you've done.

"Daddy," I hear Legacy ask aloud from his seat next to me. "Ken-niichan is gone, isn't he?"

"I'm sorry. Not everyone can be saved. Sometimes, someone must be sacrificed."

"Daddy, I want to go like Ken-niichan."

"Legacy..."

Such deep thoughts for a kid. I think he might be creepier than myself.

He never cried.

We remain silent for several minutes until the REAL chaos is obvious. Do you think they could get nearly seven billion people off of a planet in an orderly fashion?

This was the most people I had ever seen in one place at one time in my life. Not even on the television had I ever seen so many people. Not even computer animation could do this. To my left were cars being over turned, fires being lit, and I think I even saw a murder. I hate how detatched I can be, I all I want to do is to live through and protect Legacy, even if I can't do the first. Funny how much I love him only after an hour?

"Legacy, can you change your clothes in the back. We're near the ship, and you should change out of those clothes. I don't want any of the Estate Blu guys looking at you and..."

"Killing me?" he said. "I can't die yet." He smiled up at me, and got into the back of the car. "These are so big!"

I looked back at him, and he was holding up my grey-ish colored pants. I had decided that he was going to have them, seeing that they were my favorite. Plus they had gotten too small for me. He put on the shirt that I had bought for him, which was a little big on him. Legacy slipped on the pants, and I rolled them up so they were shorts on him. Baggy shorts, but shorts none the less. I handed him a belt, which he managed to put on himself. He then put on the tennis shoes that I bought for him on (those were big on him as well). If Kenny could see us now, he'd laugh at us. A scruffy-looking scientist with a minture version of himself looking just as scruffy. I take that back, he probably's laughing his spikey-haired ass off as I think.

Thank God or some deity for letting be a part of this horrid project. I thank my Master in Heaven for bestowing a blessing upon me known as "Level B Clearence". I was able to pass throught the crowds and masses easily with it, even with Legacy. I was able to get him on to the ship.

I didn't want a goodbye speech.

He didn't want one either.

"I love you, Daddy!"

"I love you, Legacy!!! Remember your new name until you see me again! I have to go!"

And he got on the ship.

I don't have time to tell Rem about Kenny, but she'll find out when he's not on the ship.

I hate this life.

I hate this planet.

I fell like a bastard. And I am one.

I listened to that to get a feel of the mass exodus to the SEEDS ship. Um... I think that's about it. The next chapter's gonna be a shortie.))
