Tobias couldn't understand. Life spiraling out of control for him. Humans going to war with Andalites this just wasn't right. It's not like the old days. Then again in the old days we'd all be risking our lives daily he thought. Tobias and Rachel had gotten a call from he wanted to meet with everybody at the Hork-bajar colony. Which sucked for Tobias because he couldn't morph he had to walk the 20 miles to the Valley.

When everyone finally arrived Jake started. "Okay guys I think we've got a serious problem," said Jake. "No shit oh fearless leader of course we've got a problem," hissed Marco. "Thanks Marco, does anyone here have any ideas what to do?" "Well we could try to contact Ax give him a heads up," suggested Marco.

"Or we could try to put the media against Peter and use our fame as platforms to criticize him then nobody would want to fight," said Cassie.

"Cassie you seem a bit sassy today, I thought you'd suggest some peaceful disobedience,"

"Well Marco I've learned over the years that being passive aggressive doesn't always work,"

"Yeah Cassie!" shouted Rachel.

"Shut up Xena"

"Oh Marco I'm sorry if I've hurt your feelings I know you have trouble covering up your insecurities," said Rachel in a sarcastic tone.

"Ok guys so what we're gonna do is pit Peter against the media, but remember don't do anything out of the ordinary Peter's going to jump on any chance he gets to call us traitors," said Jake.

"Let's do it!"

"Xena I really do mis that catchphrase," said Marco in a wistful tone.

Andalite Homeworld

War Council High war Prince Corin-Sariff-Crayall's quarters

My Prince I have dire news!

Ah Siraff come in I just finished my mourning rituals what is it?

Prince Corin the Humans have declared war!

Hahaha! Very funny Siraff. Now tell me what the real news is

That is the real news sir the Hegmon made an address last night formally declaring war against the Andalite electorate and all it governs

This is ridiculous. Oh well we'll just have to show the those backward humans a bit of power

Oh yes that will show them my prince

Sariff send message to the base in the Alpha Centauri system to deploy a task force order them to destroy the Mars colony hydroponics that should scare the humans into submission

Right away my Prince the humans won't know a thing until it's to late. Not even the Andalite people know that we have a base in human space

NYC FSH Capital building

Peter was very happy. Today everything was going according to plan. The capital building's multitude of windows reflected light from all directions and seemed to shine in happiness. "Wilson I want to speak with Law, get him onscreen"

Peter walked over to the console and watched as Captain Law materialized before him. He was a disciplined and merciless man who was well known for his genius on the battlefield. What most people didn't know was that he contained a hatred of Andalites that rivaled Atreides'.

"Mr. Hegemon everything is working smoothly," said Law

"Very well. Is the Andalite installation mobilizing?"

"Yes sir, I think they want to punish us quickly and decisively by using their secret base" mocked Law.

"Well you know what to do Law launch operation X"

"Gladly sir"

"That will be all Captain," Peter said. Law raised his hand in a salute and shouted "For humanity!" Yes for humanity indeed thought Peter.

Andalite Base Impunity

Alpha Centauri System

Aristh Sirat was bored. The entire base was preparing for war and he wasn't a part of it. It was always Go away Aristh this is a warrior's job or Your much to young to be going off to war now boy. He couldn't stand it. So Sirat just decided to go feed in the dome to take his mind off things. The dome was very beautiful, one of the newer models that were much bigger and had a larger assortment of flora and fauna. Sometimes Sirat liked to come here and stare up at the dome and into space. He would think about all kinds of things, mostly that cute female who worked down in sick bay. Sirat today however was thinking about how he had to become a warrior. No one would disrespect him then.

All of a sudden in booming thought speech came Aristh Sirat-Coonin-Saiff report to the command post at once! This was his chance! He galloped over to the dropshaft and headed to the post.

Ah aristh Sirat. Warrior Klaneel is incapacitated at the moment since you did the best in battle sensor reading I need you to take his place for awhile said Prince Kandar. Thank you Prince Kandar I will do my best Sirat trotted over to the console and began to analyze data.

After a few hours this became extremely boring. Nothing was happening. Then as if almost on cue Sirat picked something up. It seemed like nothing just a blip but Sirat was so bored that anything seemed important. Prince Kandar look at this What is it aristh? Sir it looks like something is approaching the system He pointed at the read out. Hahahahahaha everyone laughed. Silly aristh you have much to learn. That is nothing but a piece of space garbage probably a refuse pod jettisoned long ago stated Kandar. Oh, sorry muttered Sirat. The aristh went about his work feeling utterly humiliated. He wanted to shoot himself with a shredder at maximum burn.

Again Sirat picked up the refuse pile. This time however, the power signature was stronger and was increasing. Prince Kandar I have picked up the refuse pile again but it has a stronger power signature Really aristh then put it on screen There it was the readings in full size the signature was still getting stronger. Hum that's odd, get a visual on that thing

The object was very strange looking. It was a large metal disc with two engines, one on each side. The disc was about 100 meters wide and 600 meters in diameter. Noorlan get some readings on what's inside that thing this is a very bizarre looking refuse pilecommanded the War-Prince. Sir the ship seems to have some sort of unstable material, can't tell what it is thoughanswered Noorlan. This must be some stupid human contraption probably uranium in there. The morons boasted Kandar.

Before anyone could laugh 1,000 energy propelled missiles were fired from the strange ship. Sir the ship has fired some type of projectile announced Sirat. What are they targeting aristh? Well my prince it appears to be the quadrant's sun Idiot humans. The thing probably misfired and now it will be destroyed in the sun The missiles went toward the sun as expected but instead of a pop when they exploded it was a huge "KAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM".

What in great suns was that! said Kandar. The missiles exploded in the sun it seems that they were a new more powerful type of nova bombs and it oh lord, the number of bombs fired had enough energy to offset the equilibrium in the sun causing it to prematurely go supernova answered Raveil. How long do we have TO? 15 minutes sir before the star becomes a giant and engulfs this base and another 10 before it explodes Then start the evacuation already boomed Kandar. My prince that's the problem the sun's electromagnetic field has fried the Z-space inducers. The only ship that has not been effected is yoursanswered the TO. Well then aristh Sirat how many other arisths are on the ship? 9 including me sir All arisths and TO Raveil go and leave in my cruiser. The Tetranis is a good ship take care of her But my prince you must go. I am you subordinate the fleet values your life more than mine protested Raveil. You are wrong my TO you have a bright future. While I am an old prince who will soon outlive his usefulness But my prince NOW GO! boomed Kandar yet again. Yes sir come on Sirat we must go Sirat and Raveil abruptly left but not before they each gave their prince a final salute.

FSH Capital building (you know what city)

Again Peter was very happy everything was again going according to plan. Soon he would contact the War Council and demand immediate surrender. Of course the reparations would be astronomical. Peter was thinking maybe 50 colonies, four million tons of plantanium, and a few thousand ships would do well. Peter had already planed if they didn't except. Peter always had contingency plans. The Human military had improved quite a bit from the days of the yeerks. Plans were in the works to make the Alpha Centauri galaxy the new Milky Way.
