Bonnie Rules!

A few days ago, we saw Bonnie Mullen as a true hero. She had shot and killed Sussen and absorbed MASAL's Sipre saving the remainder of the Onsiras from the shadow beings tyrannical rule. Now it was time for Rome and Rei to bring Rome's parents and Commander Ursay back from their enslavement and put things right:

     It didn’t take them long to locate Rome’s parents in the real world. Freed of the Sipre’s control, together, Binoda and Ursay were able to lead Fridone out of the dwelling where they were being held and met Rei and Rome in the clearing.
     Rome walked up to her mother who smiled. Ursay smiled faintly as well. However, Rome was shocked at her father’s appearance. He did not even look like himself. His eyes were very dark, almost black and his face had no muscle tone whatsoever.
     With a whoosh and a pop, Junior’s livetar appeared, holding a white bottle.
     “Dad said I should bring these to you,” he said, reaching forward to give the bottle to Rome. Rome took the bottle and handed one pill each to Binoda and Ursay. Rome had to force her father but eventually she got him to swallow one as well.
     While this was going on, the Onsira community had carried Reema’s body into one of the dwellings to lie in state. Rei and Rome went in to pay their final respects. Bonnie was there along with many of her children. Her eyes appeared to glow with a blazing inner spirit. It was almost as if the ethereal world was spilling over into the real world.
     “The others. They are calling me Ombare,” she said to Rome. “What does that mean?”
     “It means Empress,” Rome replied. “You are their leader now.”
     Bonnie nodded. “This feels amazing,” she said to them, hugging herself with her arms. “To be a part of such a whole. It’s indescribable.” She looked at Rome, forcing herself to try and focus on the real world. “I don’t know how you ever gave it up.”
     “I have lived on both sides,” Rome said. “I do what is right for me. But I am happy that you are happy.”
     Rei reached out and Bonnie gave him a hug. “Goodbye, Bonnie,” he said, “and good luck.”
     “Goodbye, Rei,” Bonnie replied.
     “I truly hope it turns out to be the life you wanted.”
     “It will be,” she answered with a distant look. “You have given me the greatest gift of all time. I can never thank you enough.”
     “You don’t have to,” Rei said. “Just make sure that Sipre doesn’t get loose and we’ll call it even.”
     “Deal!” Bonnie said. “Deal!” said the children around, mimicking their mother.
     It made Rei and Rome laugh.

That is a nice note to leave on. It certainly appears that Bonnie has things under control and Rome and Rei can leave with a clear conscience knowing the Earth will be safe forever.
