After a year of silence "Rebuilding Earth" returns. I've been quiet because a lot of things have happened last year. I hope to finish all the ongoing stories.
L.D: Titan A.E doesn't belong to me.

Lin, who was wearing a beautiful red dress that resalted her female atributes, waited at 's mansion in Neo Hong Kong, the only european style mansion in the city, prepared for the worst. The Parliamentary session of the cities representatives hadn't gone well for her father, Cale and Akima were moving on to the next steps on the plan, the volunteer works were now working on a reglament for the whole force to follow, and talks on a reform of the government were heard on the streets just hours after Cale's speech. Lin knew she wasn't at fault for those kinds of things but she also knew her "father" wouldn't see it like that. She was pulled out from her thoughts when the family buttler, Ken, a elder asian man who had been with her family almost his whole life entered the room she was in.
"Miss Lin, Master Wong will meet you now." The man said with a sad tone of voice. It could be seen by anyone who wasn't blind that Ken didn't agree with his master on most issues, but for a buttler personal opinions didn't matter, his master opinions, plans and thoughts were like his own.
Lin nodded softly and headed for her father's studio at the end of the second floor's halls. She took her time mainly because she was wearing heels but also she was sure her subconsciousness was pulling her back, trying to spare her from the horrors of meeting her father. Five minutes was what it took her to finally reach her destination. She knocked on the door and waited.
"Enter" sounded the voice of her "father" from the side of the door. She opened and saw Mister Wong seated in a table prepared for two with plates in front of both seats. It seemed like a romantic gesture, not a gesture a man should have towards his daughter, but still a nice gesture. Lin however knew that the reunion wasn't going to be pleasant. "Have a seat" Her father ordered smiling.
Lin obeyed and sat in front of him, Mr. Wong kept his unnerving smile as he began to talk.
"I take it you've heard of Cale's and Akima's victory at the government building today." He said pouring himself and her some wine.
"I have" she replie as she began to eat the food before her.
"You see, as I've told you back in Neo Bangkok I don't think you've done enough for our cause" he said. "Heck! I don't know if you've done anything at all! Because the way I see it everything is marching smoothly, there is so much that you could have done yet you didn't."
"There was no time" she defended herself. "Everything has gone to fast"
"I know, I know. The previous two months you had almost no contact with them and in the past few weeks things have been so busy for all of you." He replied almost as if he sympathised with her, but Lin knew better. "However time doesn't wait for anyone Lin and our time is running out."
"What do you mean?" Lin asked.
"Do you know how a civilization is rebuilt?" He asked her. Lin was going to reply but her "father" spoke first. "Rebuilding the buildings and the cities it's the easy part, but the infrastucture, the health, transport, security and other kinds of infrastructures is the hard part, and yet it's the most profitable part for those who know how to play their cards. I, for one, took the chance to become part of this planet first government and you are the leader of Neo Hong Kong's volunteer security force." He stopped to see if she followed his reasoning. She nodded to let him know she did. "However the problem is that all that is first created when a civilization is reborn, the things like form of government and the other infrastructures are bound to change eventually. That's why I was the main sponsor of an army here, I knew my time in the government of this planet, the council or the parliament if you will was limited and that when its time finally expired I would have to struggle for every ounce of power but if I had an army that would change things a lot. That dream however has come to an end because of your slow movement." He glared at her as he finished his speech.
Lin was terrified, she had known her father was angry but she had never seen that expression on anyone much less on him. It didn't last though, he replaced his enraged expression with a cold cruel smile, knowing his message had gotten through.
"I see you understand where I'm coming from and I'll ignore your past failure, I've seen a new possibility with Cale's and Akima's plan after all. However Lin, no matter what your reasons for disobeying my orders were I will not tolerate it again. For now you must get close to Cale and Akima as you did before but your main mission has changed, you are to observe them now, just observe, maybe aid them a little, until I find a way to make myself a place in this new order. I'll give you orders as things develop."
Lin nodded and moved closer towards her putting his hands on her shoulders. "Now what do you say we forget about dinner and get to the dessert. Lin's emotions changed from fear to disgust as Mr. Wong guided her out of the room.

Cronus stood on his quarters's studio eyeing a map of the galaxies his people had explored during eons before he was born. His visitors were now visiting his army barracks with Atlas, his second in command. They had brought him a specially interesting proposition a chance to avenge one of the titans few defeats, perhaps their biggest defeat. Now he eyed the system where, according to his guests this "New Earth" was.
It would take him some time to assemble his fleet and forces and launch the campaign against humans, time he intended to use to prepare a strategy for the invasion. And afterwards, well, it had been a long time since his guests had last required his race's services far too long. Enough time for the titans to rethink their relationship, to realize that his guests's race was the one that put a limit on the titans power, they used them as soldiers and servants but every titan had the power to be a king. And for that Cronus knew they had to be eliminated as well if his plans of reconquering their lost empire were to begin. But for now he would center his attention on the humans
"Hiperion" Cronus called. A figure dressed in red armor appeared kneeling behind him.
"Yes Lord Cronus?" The titan asked.
"Prepare 20 ships to depart as soon as possible. You will lead them and find out more about our enemies" Cronus said.
"Do you think a recconaissance mission is necessary my Lord? They are just insects after all" Hiperion said clearly disappointed with his mission.
"Do not underestimate Hiperion" Cronus said dangerously as he didn't like when his subordinates disobeyed his orders. "These humans have already defeated us once. I won't have that happening again. "
Hiperion kept his head low as a sign of respect for his lord. "I will do as you say my lord."
Cronus smiled at his servant. "I don't blame you for discussing my decision. It's in our titanic nature to be violent and fervent warlovers." He made a pause and saw his servant smiling. "However as I said before we must not underestimate these humans and reccon is an essential part of warfare too."
"Tell me, Lord Cronus, if for whatever reason I needed to assess directly what our enemy is capable of..." Hiperion began
"Then you'll do whatever it's necessary to do so." Cronus said smiling. Hiperion smiled. "Also this reccon mission may include some attacks on enemy targets so don't worry, you'll get your fair share of fighting."
"Thank you Milord." Hiperion said disappearing back into the shadows and exitting Cronus's quarters.
Cronus looked back into the map of the galaxy and smiled. Hiperion was an idiot but he was an useful idiot. To use him now was a gamble but a dangerous gamble, a gamble could either bring him a victory or a defeat in this war he was about to fight
