When Moxxie got back home there was lot of clean up happen around. Bodies, blood, a few building destroyed and weapons being picked up.

Look at that turf wars already starting.

Pathetic.

At the same time everyone off to do their normal business like there was no purge at all.

He went to check on Ivy, even after getting off the phone. She was doing well. Café a bit of a mess but easy clean up. Would have stayed to help but she wouldn't allow it.

After that went to his apartment. Mr. Orson soon came by to check around the damaged. Small talk here and there.

"Wait they actually were dead?"

"Oh yeah for a while now. Wrath Rodents of all things."

"They took over the room didn't they?"

"I will lower down the price if you don't move and kill any that get in the way."

"Deal."

Moxxie got inside his home. Once he made sure things are good. He goes to space.

Just relaxing, floating around and occasionally sight see. Then check for any sick or broken stars. Found a few that occupied his time. Weren't like those poison stars but still were hurt. Some point a little closer to plant. No, mini dolphins around him at the moment but did notice something else. Once he rechecks the area again.

Were those sea turtles?

They were very small and dark. It made them blend so well in the coloration of space. Floats and swimming around. Almost look like normal sea turtles but he notice how the flippers are split in two.

Watch them swim around and began to eat star dust around them. Till his head as they swim away.

Well, space indeed keeps surprising him. Along with the planet.

Once, he made everything was good he goes to the plant. Double check for any poison stars and gather a few. Not a lot like before but to see them still it a problem. Just like those bugs. Put everything up in inventory to mess with and land on the ground.

"Tweet."

Moxxie turn to see one of the robins. Orange and pink feathers. Got a head tilt from the bird.

"Don't you da--"

The Robin let out a loud "TWEET!"

"You're worse than those parrots!"

The robin flies down to his shoulder and nuzzle the cover cheek. Roll his eyes and pat the little head. "Fly off unless you like to suffer."

"Tweet."

"Alright don't complain when you get tackle down and licked."

Robin flies back to the tree.

"Figures." Moxxie glance around and see he was actually close to a river. Sits down and relax a bit before his doomed approach. Hopefully didn't hear him. Look at the water that was a mix of clear lavender and blue. Look at his hooves and unwrapped the material and rolled up the pants. Put them in the water and relax at the nice feeling.

Stayed like this for who knows how long till felt a nibble on his hoof. Tail quickly goes down to grab it. Wasn't like those axelots as the teeth felt a bit shaper. Pull them out and see it was an otter.

Look almost adult size. Dull shade of purple, a light color on the tail, front and rear legs. White eyes blinking at him.

He really should do a full check on this planet for any other animals. But that would include all space as well.

The otter began to squeal and bite his tail. Clearly not pleased and scared.

"Next, time don't be too curious." Lower the otter down back in the water and let the go. Watch the otter swim around and stick their head out to watch him.

Let out a snort and pulled out the notebook of the new discovery.

Then hear a small crying sound.

Glance to see if it was the otter at first. Then hears it from the back. Turn around too look at the trees and grass around. Till he heard the sound again. Very small and squeak like. Gets up and check around till he found the animal in distressed.

A chinchilla.

A very soft and cuddly rodent. Rarely see them out in the open. Like to stay tuck far away. Usually have two main colors on the top fur and under the stomach. Moxxie scoop up the fluffy creature silver and green fur feel nice. But wonder what happen. Till he saw the face.

Was that a stinger on their nose?

Let out a distressed cry and shake their head. See a few scratch marks to tell they been trying to get it out. But been hurting themselves instead.

"Alright hold still." Moxxie grunted and use his stings to pull the stinger out. Then quickly check for any infection on the nose. Did pull out a little bottle of first aid sanitizer and lightly spray it just in case. Hey didn't like it and calm them down with some star fruit he pulled down from one of the trees close by. Seems good. Didn't look like it'll need to be sewed up. Will naturally let it heal.

The little fellow felt better and curled up on his lap.

Let them be and pet the head while he think. A stinger. So, wasp? Bees? Just will see if he runs into any.  Then hear a pair of happy yips and cackle sound.

Turn to see a small pack of foxes. Five at least. Two kits. Their pelts all similar but some differences. Learn over time with these foxes that their fur changes from the temperature around them. Along with their mood as well. So, better make you don't get the two mix up.

In this case this small group seem to remember him.

Popcorn stealers.

The two kits with fur mix with blue and orange run up to him happily. Almost would mistake them as the puff ball wolves besides the minor differences. Held the Chinchilla when they shake and watch the kits rolled in his cape. "Settle down taking care this one."

Kit's yips and their little tails wags as they stare at him.

Moxxie look at the other three. "Going to parent your kits or what?"

They just lay down and watch him.

"I'm not a free babysitter." Moxxie grunted and watch the kits play around him. Sighs and pet the soft rodent when they relax. "Any bees or wasp you can show me?"

Bees.

Of course it's Bees.

Moxxie leaning against a tree as he looked at the open land. Pretty flowers around along with a few trees. Spots a few stars around in certain batches of tree. Trees that have natural bee hives.  Glance at any bees he can see and notice they looked like any normal bees. Besides eyes being a bright blue or yellow.

Now one of the things he notice about the bee hives was it wasn't that orange-yellow hue. But like a pretty shade of violet. Along with twinkling.

The Chinchilla squeak when they were put down by the fox.

"Stay."

Frogmouth has been complaining about finding some gift.

Few minutes later and Moxxie was holding a jar of honey. With the weirdest expression on his face. Did those bees really let him get honey after talking with them. Okay yes he talks to the animals. Better than him talking back to himself all these years. He admits that now!

Glance at the jar with indigo liquid. A few sparkles in the fix to give it an alluring look.

"Buzzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Alright I'll get your damn flowers."

"Buzz!"

"I hope your Queen smacks you!"

Ring!

"What now?" Moxxie grumble and answered the phone. "Yes-"

"Critter?"

Almost drop the jar honey. Okay he did drop it. But now being eaten by this Honey Badger that was laying under the flowers. Not murderous but very calm. Along with happy to be awake in time to grab it. Deep purple and bright blue fur. Tail wags happily able to open the jar and eat the stuff out.

"Rattl-"

"I don't have much time to talk."

"What you mean you don't have much time to talk!" He didn't expect him to call out like this. Then to be told it won't be a long talk.

"Look on someone else is phone. I just. Look I just want to hear you right now."

"Right now I want to smack you. I can feel that smug smirk."

"Oh? What else you feel?"

"Annoyance." Twitch but eyes soften a little. "Why haven't you called?"

"Been very, very busy. I don't know when Ill called again. Got your number from your Ma when you left back to Pride. Pride of all damn place your living!"

"Anything else besides complaining." Got a small snarled like grumble.

"Don't want to argue even if it was a stupid idea."

"You're the one to tell me to pick whatever and didn't care."

"Smartass."

"Ego jackass."

"Damn I miss you." A deep chuckle came out.

"Where are you?" Moxxie muttered and didn't feel his cheeks turn a certain color.

"I can't tell you."

"You told me that before. Then the last time. Dammit Rattles are you in trouble-"

"No, and I got it taken care of."

Moxxie about to speak but heard some strange noise in the background. A woman almost. "Um you got company?"

"Yes." Striker grunted and didn't sound very happy.

"Oh." Head down a bit.

"It's not what you think. Nothing serious."

"Your choice."

"That's not what I-No, what never mind. Are you okay?"

"Yes. How Bombproof?"

"Spoil but doing well. He gotten bigger. Fat ass."

"You're over feeding him."

"You spoiled him with those carrots."

"Can't blame me for not being there-"

"Whatever. Hey do you still have that star charm. The one I got you."

"Yes? I'm wearing it."

"..."

"Rattles?" Did he hear the tail rattle over the phone.

"You still wearing it?" A sound of surprise in his voice.

"Well yeah I like it and well you did get it for me." Grumble at the last part. One of the few things he cherished with gifts he was given. Hears an amused chuckle.

"Aww you really do like me."

"Watch it Jerk."

"Never around you Critter."

"Whatever."

"I need to go Critter."

"I get it." Does he?

"I will try to call again. Be safe and don't take crap from anyone their Moxxie."

"Strik-"

Hang up.

"So, much for a goodbye" Moxxie grumble with mix emotions at what just happen.

Striker sighs and then glared at the whimpering succubus woman in the corner. Either scared at him or the dead body on the bed. His target with their neck slit open. Well that was still freshen after a bit of torture. Let out a tsk and walk over to her. Kneel down at the succubus. "Nothing personal I forgot you were in the room. He was the real target but you heard too much."

His mistake. A mistake that would of cost two people life if she tells anyone. He knows she will. Anything for money. As this one has bed few others for money. Along will open her mouth if she told who killed the target.

"No, wait pleas-"

BANG.

The succubus dropped dead from a Holy Bullet.

Striker stared down coldly at the body. Recheck everything around. No, mistakes to be left behind. Goes to the window and jumps out. Rush towards his horse and jump on quickly. Ride out and take cover after his third assassination job. Risky as he still needed to lay low from the last one and the target on his back. But right now he didn't look like he cared. The smile back on his face as his ringed eyes glow brightly.

He will make it up to his Critter one day.

Done!

We got to hear from Striker again! Hurray!

The jar of honey was for Stella. But Stolas already bought the gift when Puppet brought him the honey. Able to get more when he dropped the other one and got eaten. Stolas took it for himself. He wants more.

Animal cuteness!

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
