So Nucleo and the Doctor left for the palace. When they reached, the Queen was waiting for them in the royal chamber. Previously in Nucleo s Universe; Queen quila: Nucleo, Doctor Dragon, welcome. I am afraid I have some bad news. Nucleo and his friends had had a close encounter with death just some months ago on another planet. machine named Fortune had trapped Doctor Dragon and the Queen, almost sucked the life out of Infinity and used Nucleo for its plan to rule the universe. When they returned from the planet, Infinity was very sick and taken to the royal palace to get better. Even though the healers and magicians had tried everything, she was taking her time to recover. She was having nightmares every day and her powers were out of control. If anyone would go near her, they would see her shadow for days after that. Nucleo and Doctor Dragon had been commanded by the Queen to stay away from her until she recovered. Nucleo was sitting in Doctor Dragon s lab one day and missing Infinity. Doctor Dragon was busy working on a flying ship of some kind in one corner. They heard a knock at the door and one of the Immortal Knights entered the lab. Nucleo: Where is Infinity? Is she alright? Can I please see her? Queen quila: Kaira is better, but she is not completely fine. The news I have is about one of her nightmares. She insists that it is a vision, so I called you immediately. It seems your home planet might be in grave danger. Trickster might be plotting to attack and destroy the Earth. I am afraid I have some bad news. Dr. Dragon: The Earth? Why would he do that? Queen quila: To take revenge for Tragedy s death I assume. Nucleo: I want to see Infinity! You can t keep her away from us forever! I need to see her now! Please! Queen quila: You can see her now. s I told you, she is feeling better and is more in control of her powers. I will take you to her. 1 2
