In a universe woven with alien legends, secret crests, and unlikely friendships, On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 1-9 tells the story of Mori, the one we find hiding in a dark basement. Now, he’s thrown into a world full of letters, laser guns, and mysterious patrons. From hilltop picnics to flame-spitting lizards, every chapter reveals a piece of his strange, cosmic puzzle. At his side is Ryder—a grumpy outlaw who becomes his accidental guardian angel. Whether they’re sharing bug snacks or escaping space bounty hunters, their bond grows stronger. Mori’s quiet innocence tugs at hearts even in a galaxy that never takes a breath.
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 1: Meet Mori
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 1 starts with mysterious men in sleek black suits scanning the area and stumbling upon a wild, scruffy-haired boy who looks like he just escaped a jungle gym version of The Revenant. There’s a bit of a chaotic scuffle—cue dramatic collision—and the scene suddenly cuts to that same boy waking up somewhere clean. In this new place, meals come with schedules, clothes don’t smell like despair, and kids even smile.
Our silent hero spends his time on a scenic hilltop, mostly observing. A few friendly kids join him, while a watchful caretaker notes that although he doesn’t speak, the boy understands things just fine. Meanwhile, other children receive letters from “patrons”—mystery grown-ups who send love notes or luxury-level gifts. One fiery red-haired girl, however, proudly claims she doesn’t need gifts; her mom’s definitely coming back… in just 100 sleeps.
In class, kids are told a sugar-coated alien tale of peace. But one little rebel exposes the real tea: the aliens shrugged off a nuclear bomb like it was a snack. Soon, even our quiet boy gets a patron letter, just as he notices the red-haired girl crying silently, ending On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 1.
Chapter 2: Shoes, Goodbyes & Wildflower Dreams
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 2 begins with Mori finding Rowena, the fiery redhead, curled up and teary-eyed. Turns out, her 100-night promise expired long ago, and her mom? Still missing in action. As she vents her loneliness, Mori silently sits back-to-back with her. She opens his letter for him—because reading’s still not his thing—and finds just one word: “Hi”, along with a mysterious blue flower. Not your average pen pal.
The next day, Mori gets called by the supervisor, and surprise! Turns out his patron’s been going full Santa mode—he’s gifted with an avalanche of goodies. Rowena’s baffled and then shows Mori what a color crayon is—because apparently, wildflower-scented letters are only the beginning.
The next day, during laundry duty (yes, even space-age childcare needs chores), Rowena spots her real mom approaching. Cue emotional goodbyes. She leaves, but not before giving Mori her shoes so he doesn’t roam around barefoot anymore.
Lonely but strangely hopeful, Mori treasures his floral-scented letters and starts to believe—maybe, just maybe—his mom is out there sending them. That night, heart full and bag packed, he steps into the unknown, ending One the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 2.
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 3: Meet Ryder
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 3 begins with Mori hopping a train and arriving in a wild, desert-like wasteland. Suddenly, a gang of shady shooters on bikes pulls up, eyeing Mori like he’s a lost snack. “He’s human… but so puny. Is he even worth selling?” they wonder.
Before things get sketchier, their horned alien boss spots Mori, but just then, a biker named Ryder zooms in, kicking off a full-blown showdown. One against many? No problem—Ryder wipes the desert floor with them. He spots Mori, does a double-take, and greets him like an old buddy, promising to take him “home.” Seems sweet… until Ryder starts wondering if he can eat Mori. Technically not illegal, apparently. (Um, what?!)
Then, Ryder gets a peek inside Mori’s cape and freezes—a mark! Ryder bolts in panic, clearly scared out of his mind by whatever it means. But plot twist: Mori hops on his bike anyway. Freaked out, Ryder tells him to get off—but BAM! They hit a rock and Mori’s letters scatter everywhere.
Chapter 4: Toxic Bugs, Crayon Bonds
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 4 starts with Ryder waking up groggily, surrounded by Mori’s scattered letters and the warmth of a flickering fire. It turns out Mori, worried about Ryder’s body temperature, had covered him up and started the fire himself.
Sweet, right? But things get real when Ryder notices a strange mark on the letter: the Fah Clan symbol. Apparently, they’re one of the “Seven Fingers” of some ultra-powerful cosmic being. Only chosen ones can even touch their crest, and messing with them? Yeah—instant death sentence.
Ryder now eyes Mori with a whole new perspective. If he delivers this mysterious kid back to whoever sent these god-tier letters, could there be a juicy reward?
They start walking, Ryder bragging as Mori casually munches on a random bug. Ryder freaks out (they’re toxic!) and desperately tries to stop Mori’s wild instincts. That night, while Ryder questions his life choices, Mori quietly draws a sweet little doodle of the two of them. Ryder’s weirdly moved—it’s the first time anyone’s drawn him.
Next day, they’re ready to roll… until Mori runs toward a strange creature and—poof—a wall of flames explodes, leaving Ryder absolutely terrified. On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 4 ends with a mix of fire, feels, and Ryder rethinking his entire desert road trip.
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 5: Hug in the Dark
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 5 starts with Ryder charging toward the fiery chaos, panicking that Mori might’ve been turned into barbecue. But just when despair hits, Mori’s cape flutters and magically puts out the flames. (Yep, this kid’s cape is practically a fire extinguisher with style.)
Ryder grabs Mori, finds two creatures arguing, then a giant, dino-like beast rises like an ancient boss battle.
Ryder shields Mori instinctively, ready to throw hands, but to his shock, the giant creature bows to the boy. Mori calmly offers it a feather-like object, and just like that, the creatures retreat. Ryder’s jaw drops, and he mutters, “Man, that cape is something else.”
That night, Ryder chats with his quirky self-made robot friend, Aiya, about humans. A memory surfaces: long ago, Earth’s master left for space. On returning, it found many beings, but humans were the greediest, believing everything belonged to them. Their numbers dwindled over time. Ryder wonders if humans even care about their young ones. Yet, seeing Mori sleep peacefully, he pulls him into a gentle hug.
From somewhere beyond, an unknown voice whispers: Rest assured, he will find him. On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 5 ends with fate quietly guiding the boy’s path forward.
Chapter 6: Mori Gets Abducted
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 6 begins with Mori dreaming about a green landscape. Ryder nudges him awake(he was still dreaming), announcing, “We’ve reached town!” As soon as they step in, the townsfolk fawn over Mori’s cuteness like he’s a celebrity baby panda. Ryder quickly flips into bodyguard mode, declaring, “No touching unless you’re paying!”
Soon, they meet a mysterious guy named Valentine, who asks if Ryder’s now officially Mori’s guardian. Ryder dodges the parenting talk and instead probes about the mysterious crest. Valentine says the answers lie in the city—but that’s where the ominous Arbiter lives, so… nope.
Then comes the awkward moment of paying for their stay. Valentine casually demands “42” (currency?). Ryder panics about what to sell and pulls out Mori’s shiny golden rock, which is revealed to be the Stone of Tomas, famous for reattaching itself. Valentine’s unimpressed—it’s common and practically worthless.
Just then, the stone rolls away, and Mori chases after it, only to run straight into a huge, scary, shadowy creature. The beast hurls him into a dark pit, and a terrified Mori breaks down in tears, asking for his friend. Ryder calls out, “Mori?” On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 6 ends with one lost stone, one scared boy, and a whole lot of trouble just around the corner.
Chapter 7: A Battle for the Boy
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 7 begins with Ryder realizing Mori is missing. Spotting a suspicious creature slinking away, he yells, “Hey, stop right there!” and takes off after it. Thankfully, his quirky tech-buddy Aiya scans and chirps, “Life source detected—98.24°F—in its pocket!” Translation: Mori’s been kidnapped and is getting pocketed like a snack.
The chase begins, with Aiya helpfully analyzing the creature’s escape route through the town: Route 2, confirmed. Ryder dashes through the alleyways like an action hero in a cosmic thriller, finally cornering the creature at a cliff’s edge. With no time to waste, he takes a deep breath and leaps off like a total legend.
He lands, gun drawn, and demands: “Give. The. Kid. Back.” But the creature calmly claims Mori as his own, insisting he’s been raising him and now finds him “too adorable to let go.” Ryder’s like, “Nope, I don’t have time for custody drama,” and points the blaster. The creature refuses, clinging to Mori like a child with a stuffed toy.
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 7 ends with a standoff over the galaxy’s cutest kid, a clingy creature, and Ryder seriously reconsidering his entire babysitting career.
Chapter 8: Pocket Pee & The Outlaw’s Redemption
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 8 begins with the clingy creature flipping the script and asking if Ryder is really that Ryder—the outlaw, the illegal creation, the guy with a reputation that even intergalactic insects whisper about. Then comes the insult buffet: “How can a wild thing like you raise a human? I could love him better.” Ryder stays cool and simply replies, to Let Mori decide.
But the creature gets smug, pointing out that Ryder pulling the trigger inside the city boundary would make him the criminal. Ryder? Doesn’t care. Meanwhile, scared little Mori hears a voice from the doll his mom gave him—“Don’t forget to go to the bathroom before bed!”—and takes it seriously. In fact, he pees right in the creature’s pocket. Crisis turned comedy.
Grossed out and furious, the creature fumbles, giving Ryder the perfect opening. He scoops up Mori, fires a warning shot, and growls, “Touch him again and you’ll lose more than just a limb.” Aiya and Ryder both praise Mori for his timely escape tactic. On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 8 ends with them racing toward “Whale’s Cradle”—a serene mountain valley where, for a change, peace seems possible.
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 9: Who Is It?
On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 9 begins with Mori and Ryder exploring the scenic paradise of Whale’s Cradle—a peaceful stretch of green… until a deadly creature shows up, of course. The duo narrowly escapes again, and by nightfall, Mori is peacefully doodling on Ryder’s face while he sleeps (the boy’s version of bonding). Later, Mori spots glowing, whale-like creatures gliding across the starry sky. Ryder even lifts him on the bike in autopilot mode so he can get closer, but just as he’s about to touch one, he blinks—and in a dreamy flash, sees a mysterious woman whisper, “Lovely circle.”
Morning comes, and Ryder wakes to find Mori stirring. Cue a classic Ryder vs. Aiya debate—this time, it’s over who’s the better co-pilot. The squad journeys into a freezing wasteland, where Ryder, in peak dad-mode, wraps Mori into a snowball-shaped burrito. Aiya labels it “abuse.” Suddenly, Aiya detects a threat speeding toward them at 305 mph. Ryder hops back on the bike, but boom—they’re hit! A tall, shadowy figure with long, dark hair appears, ending On the Way to Meet Mom Chapter 9.
