"What about the little kids?" Ning asked. "What do we name them?"

"Uhh…" Emma thought for a bit, but couldn't come up with anything. "We'll think of something later, or we can get Umbra to handle it herself."

"Okay," Ning said. "That works too."

He asked the system to find more of the crystals and quickly determined the next location he was supposed to go to.

"Alright, let's leave. There are more crystals that I want to get," he said and reached for his daughter's arm.

Emma, however, pulled her arm away at the last second. "We're going to find more of these? Isn't that a very tedious task?" she asked.

"It is, but we have to do it," Ning said. "It's necessary. I told you."

"But I don't wanna!" she said grumpily. "Why do I have to go around for a chore? Just go by yourself."

"Are you sure?" Ning said. "I will really go by myself."

"Yes, go," Emma said, not falling for the bluff. "I really don't want to come along."

Ning sighed. "Where will you go then? You don't even know where you are," he said.

"It's fine," Emma said. "I'll stay here with Umbra and the few little ones. Maybe Clara wants to stay with me as well."

"Huh?" Ning quickly turned to Clara. "You don't want to come with me?"

"Uhh…" Clara hesitated. She did want to go, but it seemed like they had to deal with the family stuff before coming to ask her.

"Actually, why don't you go by yourself?" Emma asked. "We'll meet you after you're done."

Ning frowned. "And what will you be doing all taht time?" he asked.

Emma shrugged. "I have an idea," She said. "Hand over the ship. We'll go on a tour while you go on a tour of your own."

Ning hesitated a bit and then sighed. "Fine, here you go," he said, bringing out a massive space ship that remained floating in the air.

"Great!" Emma said excitedly. "Come on you guys. Let's go."

She flew up to the spaceship that had its hatch just open up. She entered it and waited for Clara and Umbra to follow her.

Clara looked at Ning, waiting for his opinion before doing anything, and Ning simply shrugged. "Go, I'll handle the rest of the matter myself," he said.

Clara finally nodded and jumped up to the Spaceship, throwing strands of shadows to grab onto the open hatch before crawling up it.

Umbra used a shadow step technique that allowed her to teleport directly onto the spaceship through its shadow, along with her two cubs.

"Let me know when you're done," Emma said. "I'll take them around the world for now."

"Alright, take care," Ning said. "I'll come to you once I'm done."

He didn't have to worry about what would happen to Emma at all. Not only was she the strongest human on the planet, she also had enough energy to fight against, or at least push back against even constellations that might come after her.

Also, she had taken the Spaceship around Earth many times in the past, so she knew how to use it. 

Ning teleported away, leaving Emma to handle the rest.

"Come to the bridge," she said, walking to the front, letting the two others follow behind her.

She held the two cubs in her arm who snuggled in her embrace and were trying to sleep properly. She couldn't help but poke their nose given how cute the both of them were. 

"What is this thing?" Clara asked, looking at the metal hull of the ship. She walked through brilliantly glowing lights that weren't coming from Light Essence at all. 

"What are these things?" she tried touching the bulbs and was surprised that it was actual material instead of just light.

"Does this world not have electricity?" Emma asked. "Or any form of power to keep the lights going?"

"We have Light Essence," Clara said. 

"Oh… huh?" Emma said curiously and turned around. She reached the bridge and sat on the very front seat.

"You can sit there," she told Clara. "And you can sit there."

Clara sat on a silver seat and was surprised when something grabbed onto her from all sides. She was about to scream, but then she realized it was just some straps.

The seat for Umbra had changed on its town to accomodate her. As for her children, Emma grabbed them on a tight hold. 

"It will just be for a minute. We can get out after that," Emma said.

"What exactly are we doing?" Clara asked, looking around. "I can't tell."

"Oh!" Emma turned around with a grin. "We're going to outer space."

Clara paused for a second. "I'm sorry where?" she asked.

"The Outer space," Emma said.

Clara looked confused. "The outer space?" she asked.

"Yeah," Emma said. "Do you… not know what that is?"

"I… don't know," Clara said. "Is this like Space Essence?"

"Hmm, you'll find out soon enough then," Emma said. "Umbra, are you alright?"

"I think I'm fine," the puma answered.

"Great! Let us start," Emma said and pressed a bunch of buttons on the console before a voice spoke above her.

"Strengthening outer hall."

"Initiating Space Drive."

"Space Drive not available."

"Space Jump not available."

"Initiating Light Emission."

"Checking all systems."

"All systems except Space Drive are functional."

"ZSS-Unity III is ready to leave."

"Buckle up guys," Emma said. "We're leaving."

Suddenly, they felt a force on their body, pushing them back as the whole ship started flying straight to the distance.

A beast flew up from far away, but before it even reached the ship, it accelerated once more and turned toward the sky.

Clara was confused as the whole ship started tilting and flying higher and higher toward the sun. 

She closed her eyes in fear for a few seconds while the whole ship vibrated. Then, when the vibration disappeared, she opened her eyes and looked out in shock.

"It's night!" she exclaimed.

Emma chuckled. "It's not night," she said. "We're just in space."
