On the Planet Lorwardia, a young alien man was in chains in the throne room of the imperial palace; he wasn't a Lorwardian, he was a Titarian, a race that bared a somewhat striking resemblance to humans with the exception of dark blue birthmarks that resembled tattoos all over their bodies. He looked at the Leader of the Lorwardian Empire, Lord Kaleak, who was holding his trial. Lord Kaleak began to speak, "Cetrix of the Planet Titaria, you are charged and hereby found guilty of inciting rebellion against the empire. Punishment will be torture everyday until you give in and praise the Lorwardians as the masters of your people and when you do, we will allow you to die."
Cetrix remained silent as Lord Kaleak signaled the guards, "Take this traitor out of my sight."
The Lorwardian guards took Cetrix out of the throne room before Lord Kaleak turned to his advisers, "What is there to report on the expansion of our military."
"Everything is going as planed," one of his advisers replied, "With the vast resources of Titaria in our hands, we will soon have a force large enough to conquer the Galaxy."
"But what about Earth," General Matack, younger brother of Warhok, asked, "We can not allow them to get away with the humiliation they handed us."
"Earth," Lord Kaleak explained, "though able to defend itself, is not a serious threat to this empire. We will, in the future, deal with them; but for now we have greater enemies to deal with."
"Not to mention," one of the advisers added, "the recent wave of rebellions."
"Exactly," Lord Kaleak replied, "and Earth neither has the available resources and strategic position to justify the costs of launching an invasion at this time."
"My Lord," General Matack pleaded, "At least allow me to exact vengeance."
"We need you here General," Lord Kaleak replied much to Matack's dismay, "Be patient, I promise you will have your revenge in the future as we all will. I don't won't you going on a personal mission of vengeance against orders like Warhok did."
Matack nodded in acceptance of his leaders decision, though he wasn't happy with it...
Meanwhile, Cetrix was taken to a prisoner transport vessel where he would be transported to Lorwardia's moon where his sentence will be carried out; Cetrix decided two things; that he must not give in to the torture and that the liberation of his people can only be won through unconventional means.

On Earth, Kim and Ron were in the apartment that they lived in together talking to each other about the recent construction of the Spaceship named the U.S.S Pegasus. Pegasus was constructed by Global Justice in response to the failed Lorwardian invasion as well as a means of exploring the galaxy. Ron was trying to convince Kim that they should go on the maiden voyage, "Come on Kim, you can't tell me it won't be fun."
"I'm not saying that," Kim explained, "I mean, we just finished college-"
"Exactly," Ron interrupted going up to her, "So it's the perfect time to go out and explore the vast unknown, the, I'll say it, 'Final Frontier'."
Kim shook her head, "I just don't know Ron, we'll be gone for a long time; it will be years before we'll came back home. Doesn't that bother you?"
"Not really," Ron answered, "At least not as long as you go with me."
Kim gave a smile, "That's sweet Ron."
"Just imagine," Ron explained to give Kim a mental picture, "Going through space seeing things no one else have ever seen, stars, a nebula or two, and what ever else is...out there."
Kim resisted the urge to laugh, "It's times like this that you wish you payed more attention in class isn't it?"
"Yes it is," Ron replied, "but, I just don't understand why you wouldn't want to go."
"It's just," Kim tried to explain, "After the Lorwardian invasion, I'm just not in a rush to see what else the universe has to offer."
Ron was a bit surprised by that explanation, "Are you...afraid of what's out there?"
"Yes," Kim answered, "Aren't you? What if we run into things worse than the Lorwardians."
"I understand," Ron said relating to that fear, "but it stands to reason that there has to be good guys out there as well as bad guys, we just have to find them. You know I would never let anything happen to you, just like you want let anything happen to me. I say we promise each other that right now, if you say yes of course."
Kim looked at him and smiled, "Alright, I'll do it as long as we make that promise."
"Deal," Ron said as the two of them hugged, "I promise I won't let anything happen to you."
"And I promise that I won't let anything happen to you," Kim replied before the two of them kissed and went to tell their families of their decisions...
Author's Note:
Here's a short intro to what will be the first of a series of stories. I decided that it would be a great idea to move the characters into space and give them great new adventures in the vast unknown. Here I show some of the inner workings of the Lorwardian Empire as well as introduce the Character Cetrix, Which is also my profile name; the name Cetrix was originally the name of a villain I created for Kim Possible several years ago but never used and decided to have it as my profile name on several sites. I needed a name for the character in this story so I decided to use take the Cetrix name off the shelve due to me not being to good with character names... Please review, and see if you can guess what kind of role Cetrix will have and what kind of plot I'll use in this story.
