Ari was out of breath from running. He had finally lost aunt Jemi. When he returned to HQ, he noticed Strigar and Adlan chuckling. "That was not funny, you SOBS!" he shouted. You deserved it since you didn't want to help Kittyopolis." Strigar retorted. Ari just sighed and wondered what he could do in a situation like this one. That's when Mikhail came and announced a visitor. The visitor then arrived. He was anthromorphic calico cat wearing a bowler hat. He was so nervous that he fidgeted. Ari pointed his 0.34 laser gun at him. "This better not be another aunt Jemi holograph prank or I'll put one in your head." he growled. "Don't be ridiculous." Mikhail scoffed. "This guy just needs to enlist our help." Bartleby started the whole story and at the end, he burst into tears. "Now worries."Mikhail assured him. "We'll see what we can do."
They were soon in front of what used to be a major city, but what were left now were rubble, destruction, and smoke. Every inch of the city was occupied by SFF soldiers patrolling and the sky had Hellhounds flying over it like bees near a hive. "Holy (censored), Ari thought. They immediately retreated before they had gotten spotted by the patrols. Once they were back at HQ, they decided to converse on what to do. "We need to come up with a plan."Ari began. "What plan?" Strigar asked, exasperated. "Well, we can't rush in like this." Ari answered him."But we need to destroy SFF and id the Kitties!"Strigar protested. Every eye in the room stared. "How?By getting killed?' Ari retorted. "Fine!I'll destroy them myself!" Strigar tunred to leave, but Mikhail restrained him and told him to calm down."He's right."Ludwig said. "We don't know what we are dealing with." The good thing about Ludwig is that he could keep a coolhead during the most intense situations. Suddenly, the air raid sirens blared. "What the-."Ari began, but was cut off by Mikhail. "50 Devastator planes heading this way!"he shouted. SFF use Devastators during bombing runs. Loud explosions were heard as the base started trembling like an earthquake for 30 seconds. "Is everyone alright?' Mikhail asked as they got back up. Everyone was fine, though Strigar was fuming with rage. This was definitely considered provocative. "We should take the fight to them immediately!" Strigar screamed. Ari got up, dusted himself, and took a look around the base. There was smoke and flames everywhere, but no serious damage. If this wasn't provocative, what was? "Alright,listen up everyone."Ari began."we are going to war!" Everyone cheered. "But we have to be discreet to catch the enemy by surprise." He added. Strigar smiled. Ari was cool to him after all. Bartleby was wondering if there was any hope for his people. "Ok, here is the plan."Ari said, taking out a pen and a laptop.
