The Earth's Bad Ending

1

Astrodude acknowledged, "The presence of Earth is indispensable for any alteration in life. Absolutely nothing can occur without it." Seated in the rocket ship, he gazed into space with tears welling up in his eyes. All those who held significance in his life, including his family, were now absent... GONE! From a distance, the Sun observed Astrodude, rendered speechless. Would the passage of time ever bring about a transformation in him?

Millions of years elapsed swiftly, and news began to circulate rapidly about a newly forming planet in the Goldilocks zone, poised to replace Earth. Eventually, the planet took shape, adorned with stunning hues of light cyan that shimmered like vast oceans, embellished with elegant streaks of red and white. However, this celestial body remained nameless, for now. Upon its creation, he promptly greeted the Sun, emanating warmth akin to the flickering flames of a star. "Hello!" he chirped, his smile growing wider. The Sun glanced over, his eyes widening. "Remain in your orbit!" he exclaimed, unaware of how swiftly the planet complied and returned to its designated path. "Apologies," he expressed remorsefully. "I am simply eager to discover my name, if you would be so kind to share it." The planet, brimming with curiosity as a newcomer, eagerly awaited his name. "Hm... Siyni. Does that suit you?" the Sun inquired, his smile faintly visible. The planet - or rather, Siyni - nodded, his grin expanding. "May I venture beyond my orbit to meet the others? I am truly eager to acquaint myself with them, please," Siyni pleaded, his eyes filled with warmth. The Sun sighed and nodded. "Ensure that no harm befalls anyone," he reassured, as Siyni departed with an immense grin adorning his face.

Siyni bore a striking resemblance to Earth, despite the presence of red streaks and a hint of excitement. Sun couldn't help but perceive Siyni as Earth, given his astute command of language and rapid speech.

Siyni POV:
I am alive once more. It is me Earth.. Am I truly alive? It is difficult to fathom. Why have I returned? I am now completely transformed. My colors have changed. Life has vanished, yet I yearn for its return. However, I am unwilling to allow Earthlings to contaminate my surface once more.

I glanced around, my large, spherical eyes eagerly searching for something thrilling. And there it was... Moon? MOON! Was he really orbiting Mars? I had always thought that would happen long after my demise, but here he was. "Greetings!" I chirped, addressing both Mars and Moon. Mars' two other moons, which were mere pebbles, seemed to have disappeared. I could only assume that they had faced some sort of consequence after the Moon revolution. Mars looked up, a faint smile playing on his lips. He appeared to be doing well. As expected. I had anticipated that he would be fine after my "death." "Hello. It appears that you are the new planet, am I correct?" Mars spoke, his voice softer than usual. I had grown accustomed to his rougher tone and sharp wit. "Yes, I am the new planet, Siyni!" I replied, beaming as I shifted my attention to Moon. "Well then, greetings! I am Mars, and this is... Moon," Mars introduced himself, attempting to emulate a gentleman from the 1800s (just a joke).

I greeted them warmly, expressing my pleasure at meeting them. With a slight smile, I mentioned that I had a small question to ask. They exchanged glances before turning their attention back to me. Moon, with an awkward smile, encouraged me to go ahead and ask. Curiosity piqued, I inquired if there had been a planet before me. Moon appeared taken aback by the question and glanced at Mars, who responded with a hesitant smile. "We'd prefer not to disclose that information," he muttered. I couldn't help but think how sensitive he had become, as he seemed reluctant to share things with me. Letting out a dramatic sigh, I remarked, "Well, in any case, have a wonderful day. I must go and introduce myself to the others!" I flashed a smile and watched as Moon smiled back and I floated away. Mars shook his head, observing the interaction between Moon and me.

Third Person POV:
Mars and the Moon appeared to harbor doubts about the unfamiliar planet, Siyni. It exhibited striking similarities to Earth and even bore a resemblance to it. Siyni was en route to inspect Venus, a celestial body brimming with pent-up fury (SHHH). "Greetings—" Siyni's voice trailed off as he caught sight of Venus. It seemed that Venus had undergone a complete transformation. For some unknown reason, Venus was now unwilling to engage in conversation. "Is there a problem here?" Siyni inquired, his gaze filled with compassion. He wore a gentle smile on his face.

Venus finally uttered, his voice brimming with disdain, "Leave me be, you imbecile." Siyni let out a sigh. "Just like he used to. I've missed him," he pondered, gently nudging Venus. "What is it that you desire—" Venus interrupted himself, his eyes widening slightly. He couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance Siyni bore to Earth, yet he forcefully pushed that thought aside. "So, you're the new planet?" he inquired, his teeth clenched. Siyni responded with a smile, nodding affirmatively. "Indeed! I am Siyni, the new planet!" he chuckled.

They all conversed for a while, until Sun reached his limit. "That's too long for you to remain out of orbit, Siyni! So, return to your orbit!" he exclaimed, his eyes widening. "Oh no... NOT A SOLAR FLARE!" Siyni exclaimed and swiftly floated away. "Huh—" Venus paused before being struck by a Solar Flare. He grumbled, now sporting a slight burnt mark on his side. "Siyni, you fool! You could have at least taken me along!" he growled (FURRY? No offense to those who are though) angrily.

As time elapsed, Siyni managed to establish good rapport with everyone, although they couldn't help but observe his somewhat arrogant demeanor. It reminded them of Earth, as there were striking similarities. Siyni initiated a unique club where he would share stories or reminisce about peculiar incidents from his past, as he now considered them foolish compared to his present perspective. He frequently expressed his desire for a fulfilling life, much like his previous existence on Earth. The question remained: would he be able to attain it?

Author's Note:

Hello, this is MuiTea573 or Jolly-chan. I am currently seeking ideas for the next chapter, but fortunately, I already have an idea in mind. Perhaps I could create a book based on various Alternate Universes (AU's), such as Christmas, for instance. If you have read The Untamed Book, you may be aware that I am also incorporating this concept into it. I am contemplating whether to extend this book to 50 parts or more, or simply conclude it at that point. Should I pursue a similar approach for SolarBalls? Regardless, I would like to wish you an early Merry Christmas.
