Guu and Desco were ushered through the portal and there they stood amongst the crowds of Coruscant. Skyscrapers with alien architecture reached higher than any building from Earth. These buildings lined the horizon as if height wasn’t an accomplishment anymore. Cars fly in rows, just trying to get to their everyday routine. Guu had never seen a city quite like this… well, except maybe from watching Star Wars, but she hadn’t seen it in real life before.
In retrospect, she could have time traveled back in her home universe. She learned how from humans when they taught her the concept of time progression; how things seemed to move linearly if you look at it that way. She used that power once to take Hare back in time. However, she never attempted going any further forward than the present; something about seeing all your friends and family old or possibly even dying kind of squicked her out. However, it was moments like now that she wish she had gone and seen the direction that the human race would take, it would have probably would have prepared her for what she had seen just now. She was just stunned silent, glaring at the gigantic futuristic cityscape before her.
She was in awe…
Thankfully, Desco was there to bring her out of it. The demon child was pointing excitedly at a neon light candy store labeled “Lundark’s Candy Emporium.” It appears the local businesses have placed themselves near the Nexus gate to catch the eye of any sucker with a full wallet.
“Guu, Desco wants to go to the candy store!”
She grabs her by the arm stub and pulls her along into the shop.
The walls were lined with candy of many shapes and sizes. She saw some brands that she recognized, like M&Ms, Skittles, and Hersheys, but most were completely alien to her; literally as they were labeled with strange lettering that must have been from out of this world.
The two signed up for an All-You-Can-Eat special, and Desco feverishly dug into the candy brands. Guu just took random handfulls from shelves and stuffed them down her mouth. The demon child cooed satisfied at the tasty treats!
“Desco wants more!” She yells, blood pumping from the sugar rush.
”Don’t eat too much, you’re stomach won’t forgive you.”
But the pink one’s warning was ignored as her eyes comes across a giant wad of pure rainbow colored candy the size of an adult fist.
”Desco wants that one!” She said, pointing at the large candy ball. The woman behind the counter looked at her precariously.
“I dunno little girl. We had a cenobite in here and he keeled over when he ate one of those.”
”Don’t care, it’s not match for a final boss!”
“Well, if you say so… just sign this waver real quick.” She said, pushing a piece of paper in front of her.

Guu was sitting on the floor next to a woozy Desco, who was looking off at all random directions while moaning in agony. The pink princess sighed heavily.
”Should have listened…”
Her attention drifted towards the television. The broadcast was covering Dante’s Abyss. They were going over the Top 8 winners. She took notice of a man with green skin. The announcer mentioned that he was the leader of a faction in the Tangled Green. She figured she would probably run into the guy eventually.
However before Guu could watch any further, Desco shot up to her feet.
”Desco better now!” She stated excitedly. ”Let’s get more candy!”
”That was fast…” The pink one said, reacting to her sudden recovering. The demon child smiled towards her.
”Desco has a stomach made of steel! Well, not really, but daddy says it’s strong stuff!”
---
The two gorged themselves on candy until they got themselves thrown out by management. As soon as they were back on the street, Desco’s communication device lights up. She checks it.
”It’s daddy!” She yells excitedly. She promptly answers the phone. ”Hi daddy!”
”Desco! I see you and your friend have entered Coruscant! I’m sending along a cab!”
”Okay daddy! See you soon!” She shut the phone off and turned to Guu. ”Daddy said he sent a cab for Desco and Guu!”
“…how does he know we’re here…” She asked. But before she could get an answer, a cab pulls up in front of them. ”Well, can’t argue with hasty service.”
The two climb aboard and the cab flies off into the skyline.
