Unix: Issu! Buddy!
Issu: … Hi…
Unix: What’s wrong?
Issu: Rufie and I got kicked out of our home
Unix: WHAT?! Why?!
Issu: My friend Azga, y’know, that bat dude a few days ago, became the leader and kicked me out.
Unix: Why?
Issu: Idk man…He’s being like his brother. And he’s mean.
Rufie: Do you have any food with you?
Unix: no sorry dude. But hey! Remember that place by the library that’s underground? Make that your home man!
Issu: oh yeah…. Yeah!
Unix: I’ll help ya fix up the place. You two go there, I will be right back okay? *going away*
Issu: Wait! Where you goin’?!
Unix: I’m gonna talk to Azga!
Issu: *shouting from distance* I doubt he will agree with you! And how do you even know where I live?
Unix: *shouting from distance* You told me bro!
Issu: …I did?!
Unix: *left*
Issu:.... *looks at Rufie* c’mon, I’ll show you the place. It’s very cool… kinda

Rufie and Issu go towards the place, but they see something stunning. Unix, the boomslang, knocks on the door of the warehouse. Gaza opens the door, slowly. He has a washcloth over his right eye blocking out a black eye.

Gaza: What?
Unix: I’d like to speak with Azga.
Gaza: Why?
Unix: I’m a friend of his.
Gaza: How come I haven’t seen you before?
Unix: Because we never met, obviously.
Gaza: *turns around* AZGA!!! You have a visitor!
Azga: *goes up to the door* Yeah?
Unix: Why did you kick out Issu and his bear friend?
Azga: … because I wanted to.
Unix: You know that’s not very loyal of you. Leaders are supposed to be loyal and smart. You doing that to my buddy, just plain wrong dude.
Azga: …. So?
Unix: So… You let him and the bear live here again. Now.

Gaza, eavesdropping, is agreeing with Unix silently.

Azga:😑
Unix: Please?
Azga: No. *closes door*
Unix: … *sigh*
Azga: *walks past Gaza*
Gaza: why have you changed like this? I miss the old version of you.
Azga: *turns quickly at Gaza* Listen! Don’t argue with me again! Or you will get a second black eye! We’re not getting Issu back, or Rufie!
Gaza: *silent* *nods*
Azga: I may be small, but I am strong. I can kill you in a split second. You got that?!
Gaza: *nods*
Azga: Now get rid of their stuff.
Gaza: ….yes, Azga.

Gaza puts the damp washcloth on a table and goes to Elzra’s small room with a large trash bag in his hand. Most of her stuff is gone, since she ran away from home. He just gets rid of a few things. He goes to Rufie’s small room, he cleans up food off the floor. Gaza sees a picture frame with him and Rufie at the park. Gaza starts tearing up. Then he goes to Issu’s room, he picks up some stuffed animals and clothes. He sees a drawing that 9 year old Issu made. A drawing of Gaza, Zazgo, and Athek. Gaza cries as he puts it in the trash bag. He then throws the trash bag into the garbage can in the harsh rain. (Yes I know, the garbage animals {“garbage men”} don’t come to get it cuz it’s an abandoned warehouse, they just put their trash in someone else’s trash can once it’s full btw) Gaza walks away slowly from it, he looks back. He can’t handle it anymore! He jumped into the trash can and grabbed the trash bag. He ran with it towards the back of the building. He buries it under the dirt. So that the memories don’t get taken away. Gaza goes back inside the warehouse all wet from the rain. Azga is standing there. (the cover image)

Azga: Did you get rid of the stuff?
Gaza: Yes.
Azga: Good job “trash panda.”
Gaza: … *looks at him* Yeah. *walks away*
Azga: *watches him leave*

There’s a knock on the door. Azga goes up to the door. He shouts;

Azga: Who is it!?
???: *familiar voice* It’s me, we have to talk…
