Theo was sitting on the couch, as Mina suddenly crawled up to him, and laid her body on his legs, and her head on his chest, they made intense, deep, fulfilling eye contact as Theo ran his fingers through Mina's hair, her 3 tails and their bells moving slowly with pleasure.
"Theo, I'm tired~" Mina purred.
"You're always tired baby..." Theo chuckled.
Nonetheless, he still picked her up, and brought her to the hallway.
"Choose any room, we sleep wherever you want baby~ We own this ship." Theo whispered.
She tiredly pointed straight to Yonas' room, her nails, recently painted, shining under the dimmed lights on the ship as she pointed to the biggest bedroom.
"But I want it to be hot okay?" Mina demanded charmingly.
Theo turned the ships heater up, as they went into Yonas' room and laid on his bed, covering themselves in his blankets, staring each other in the eyes. Their faces inching closer, and closer, until...
Smooch~....
Their lips connected, as they kissed calmly, but passionate.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL-" Yonas started.
Theo and Mina were staring, as they saw the bastions, all wet, standing next to Queen Krani, who was in pure and utter shock.
Yonas was in shock, his eyes widened, Queen Krani was trying not to cackle. Different reactions were everywhere.
Queen Krani: "THIS IS THE SPICIEST THING I'VE SEEN IN ALMOST 10 QUINTANTS, FOR UN-MARRIED LADS!!! AHAHAHA!"
Yonas: "MY BED! WHY MY BED!! WHY WHILE WE ALMOST DIED UNDERWATER?!!?!?!
Jin: "Wow that's nasty."
Layla: "Dang, that's hot..."
Riley: "I didn't know Theo could melt like that emotionally, no hard, stuck up, entitled, brat... and-"
Collectively: "SHUT UP RILEY!"
Riley mumbled "Tough crowd" as she walked away with boing as the chaos ensued.
Yonas was in rage and shock, screaming, and shouting, and real angry.
"YOU CAN'T GET SPICY IN SOMEONE ELSES BED, I LIVE HERE, AND JUST BECAUSE YOU OWN-"
"We're married" Mina mumbled.
Yonas kept shouting until it clocked in his head.
"THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE YOU HAVI- woah wait what?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Empress Isabela's ship, deep in the dungeons were two familiar faces.
Micah and Mika...
They were thought to have died in the first episode, they were the generals of Kcuts and a married couple with a son and a daughter, who were left on the Zarkor conquered Kcuts.
Micah is weak, missing an arm, and an eye, as if he tried to fight something he shouldn't have, his whole life after getting stranded on Kcuts was protecting Mika, and even though she acted ice cold towards him, she loved him just as much as he did her. And now, for Micah to see her starving, suffering, freezing, he couldn't help but feel like he had to do something.
"Day 1...
Kcuts has been destroyed, or conquered, none good, but Mika and I have been taken as prisoners of war, we'll most likely be tortured, but I won't let anything happen to her, I've been through countless of wars, just her presence has got me through everything. I won't yield, I never have...
Day 2...
They tortured me today, took out my right eye, but I didn't break. Heard something about robotic enhancements, I won't let them modify me, even if they do—my love for her stays the same...
Day 3...
It was Mika's turn to get tortured, but I forced the guards to take me instead, with a bribe of 3ꁴ, I lost my left arm, how did they know I was a lefty? I must be going crazy in here... I need to get out—no, Mika does, Mika needs to go, I can die here, for my wife...

A few Vargas later from the earlier conversation in the ship, the bastions were in their NX ships Aniform mode, contemplating on the comms with Mina and Theo about the earlier situations.
(Aniform Mode:
EAGLE Mech: JIN
BEAR Mech: YONAS
BAT Mech: RILEY
TIGER Mech: LAYLA )
"How come you never told us you were married?" Riley asked.
"Yeah, how come we never knew you were so gushy, and mushy, and weird." Jin added.
"Mina you know just how to make a man melt." Layla added.
Theo sighed as he heard these things, from the control center, then put his finger on the mic button.
"Focus on the mission, our relationship is—" Theo let go of the button as Mina touched his shoulder—a habit, but it still softened him, and gave him a soft smile and nod, then he put his finger back on the button.
"Ughh, fine, we're married, we never had a wedding though, most of our resources were used to secure this ship and it's food even though it's just yooR puffs mostly, and of course tarF as our only drink- I'm rambling, anyways, we love each other and it doesn't change our mission to save the universe from the Zarkor empire, alright?" Theo finished, ending with a grunt as he lifted his finger off of the mic button.
"Well, we've got to get you two a wedding, and don't tell me to shut up guys, with the kind of job we're in, you know death is not rare—hell, we could die today!" Riley said loudly, but seriously.
"Ye', matey', yer' shant' hold off on a true show of youngin' luv' dearie'" Queen Krani added on, she was in Yonas' bear ship.
"English please?" Layla chuckled, as Jin mocked in the comms.
"Ye matey ye shant sing a shanty sailors singing matey tales of singing shanty singers." Jin then proceeded to laugh at his own joke, but it completely flopped in the eyes (or ears) of the others, reigning in zero reaction, except a burp from Yonas.
"Alright, everyone back into the ship, we need to recharge!" Mina warned, with caution but a side of that Mina joy.
As the Bastions and Krani walked to the command, Theo was ready to get into business.
"So, thanks to that witch that appeared in the water, we have a treasure map, well, a piece of a treasure map, leading to Commander Dav's ship, where they hold your King, Doe." Theo spoke—Clean, calm, and rough.
"So get some rest dearies, me and Theo are going to be, um, 'checking out', the break-room if you catch my drift, bye." Mina giggled as Theo carried her away.
"My only question is how in hell did they get away with this from under our noses for so long?" Yonas questioned as he threw his hands up.
Everyone casually split up around the ship...
Yonas was in the kitchen, he had mashed up some yooR puffs, and grounded some Rbyfish (Red fish with blue horns and yellow eyes). They had acquired a huge amount of these fish from the last mission so he was putting em to good use. He added some seasonings he had been collecting since he was a kid, along with the seasoning in the cup yooR-men noodles, then made fried fish balls with oil (he had alot of oil, for cooking and for engineering).
As he sat down, about to take a bite, he glanced at the doorframe, and there he was, Jin, Yonas had felt a twinge of anger once he noticed Jin leaning on the doorframe with a smirk on his face. He almost wanted to say something once Jin started to enter the kitchen, but held his breath.
"Yo Yo Yonas! My man. Always cooking something good in the kitchen, now that's a master of an art, two if I may, engineering and cooking, you just never stop being cool do you?" Jin exclaimed as he reached for a fish ball.
Yonas was confused, why was Jin being so nice to him? Weren't they arguing on who would get Layla? Weren't they mad at each other?
"You know, back on Kcuts, we were best buds, always leaving the girls to hang out or play with your inventions, or hike in the forest, I mean, we still are best friends, but we hadn't had that much time to hangout, with all this mission stuff dude... Kinda makes me hungry for adventure." Jin spoke reminiscing about their younger days.
Then it hit Yonas, this fight for Layla, the argument, it was all one sided, all in his head, Jin had no clue that Yonas was mad at him, he still thought they were best friends like on Kcuts, and Yonas was letting a girl cloud his vision, of his best bud.
"You know what... What the quiznak! Let's do it! Let's fuel a ship, and have some fun, treasure hunting, sparring, we can do it on a barren wasteland planet not far from here. Let's spend some times and be bros again!" Yonas exclaimed, dropping his fish balls.
Jin smirked, as they both left the room together.
....
...
......
Yonas then ran back and grabbed the plate of fish balls, then continued to follow Jin, screaming a small "Wait for me!" as he tailed his once again best friend.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile...
CoPilot, is zooming around the ship, hiding behind corners, x-raying through walls, being suspicious. He zoom into the break-room, and saw Mina and Theo all cuddled up watching a drama, shuddered, then zoomed past the room. He zoomed, checking heartbeat, and heartbeat, his x-ray vision on, until, he bumped into something...
"What? That's not possible, I can still see walls in x-ray mode..." CoPilot exclaimed.
He then looked in front of him, and there was Layla, chill as ever.
"What'd you say bot?" Layla asked, no emotion behind it, just a genuine question.
"What are you? I can't see you during X-Ray." CoPilot asked her.
Layla looked around, once confirming nobody was there, she grabbed boing into an empty storage room.
"Listen up cause I'm only saying this once, I don't appreciate you questioning what I am, or trying to x-ray inside of me, it's none of your business, what I am, dead or alive, understood? If not, you'll just be another piece of scrap metal lying down on the floor of this storage room, kapish?" Layla grumbled at CoPilot.
CoPilot shivered as she left, and he swabbed the residue of when Layla grabbed him, and it was a small luminescent goo... He needed more to truly assess what it was, so he zoomed to the training room, and collected all of the similar glowing blue goo he could find, and once he collected enough, he checked it.
"Ectoplasm?! Layla is a ghost? I have to tell the others-" CoPilot started before Layla's words returned to his mind... He needed to do it discreetly, he had to start:
Intergalactic Season 1 Episode 6
"The Rumor"
