~Prologue~
A tiny smeet stood at the launching pad of the Voot Cruisers that the new Invaders of the Irken Armada were boarding. She was allowed on the launch pad only because she was one of the leaders of her race, Tallest Purple's, daughter.
She tugged on her father's clothes as purple went to pick up the tiny purple-and-black-eyed smeet. "Daddy, when I grow up, I wanna be an in-vay-dor like those people!" Purple couldn't help but chuckle at his daughter's self-confidence.
"If that is what you wish to become, then that is what you will be trained to become when you are old enough."
The smeet beamed with excitement and joy. "I'm gonna be the best in-vay-dor ever!" The other leader, Tallest Red, who was standing nearby heard this, and smiled at the small one's self-assurance. Red had helped Purple take care of his daughter, and as a result, the little one looked at him as if he was a second father.
"I'm sure you will be an Excellent Invader, young one. After all, you are the daughter of one of the Superior Tallests."
