"An invasion. It's coming. Every pore of my body…every hair on my skin…they're shuddering with the anticipation of war."
"Impossible. They…it cannot happen."
"False. It most definitely can. After all, this is all about war, isn't it? Even if we did wipe out the humans, everyone's thinking of domination."
"I understand, but…you'd think they'd have better judgment."
"That's not the case. They do have good judgment. Yet I've seen this coming from the start."
"But since we eradicated the humans, we've been at ceasefire. How did you know…?"
"Ah, that's the beauty of it all. Had I been but a useless pawn in this game, I wouldn't have known about this. Seems like you happen to be in that position, hm?"
"S-Sir! Are you saying…?"
"Indeed I am. Their clan may be a large one, thus a powerful force, but it won't take long for them to crack."
"B-but s-sir!"
"No buts. I'm as sure about this as my grandfather was that they'd wipe out the humans."
"He…was confident?"
"No."
"What?"
"He wasn't confident…he was completely out of his mind with how sure he was. Confident doesn't even begin to describe it."
"…"
"After all, all I needed to do was bait the trap. Little does he know…meeting her here will drop the sword of Damocles right upon his head. And then the Tri-treaty will be broken. I've got this all figured out; they're so predictable."
"Sir…"
"Trust me. This will be as easy as taking a snooze."
"…Sir. I…"
"Enough of you. Go rally the troops. Tell them we got a little target practice coming up."
