Authors Note: Here's a list of explanations of a few things that will appear in this chapter. 1. Bowen - He is an old friend of Katherine and Bunya's from when they were back on their home planet. 2. Veschqa - this is the name of the planet that Katherine and Bunya had come from. On this planet time goes by faster than on Earth, that's why the people of this planet would live a lot longer on earth than on their planet. On Veschqa people stop physically growing in their mid-thirties then continue to age physically age in their early fifties. 3. There are two major Kingdoms on Veschqa. The Qalen Kingdom, and the Lafrond Kingdom. 4. Qalen Kingdom - This Kingdom is ruled by the Frio's, which is the house-cat like race of the planet. 5. Lafrond Kingdom - This Kingdom is ruled by the Fastens, which is the falcon like race of the planet. 6. Sastanians - The snake like race of the planet. Humans would call them Naga. 7. Basstrals - The bat like race of the planet. They look a little like gargoyles on Earth. 8. Tindreds - The tiger like race of the planet. 9. Rastilians - The rabbit like race of the planet. This is the name of Bunya's race. 10. Lycorians - The lynx like race of the planet. This is the name of Bowen's race. 11. Dafros - The domestic dog like race of this planet.

Chapter 3
Bunya had her fans out and stood in a battle stance, waiting as Katherine got ready with her katana.
She noted that the four guys were sitting at the edge to watch the two of them spar with weapons. She knew their reason too. It always is exciting to watch a well trained samurai and ninja fight.
Bunya waited until Kat charged at her. She twirled to the left like a dancer to doge the attack, with a wide grin on her face. Katherine turned back around and did a series of flourishes at Bunya, who either dodged out of the way or blocked with her fans.
They booth paused after a while. Katherine had gotten a few hits in and Bunya had done the same. The two girls stared at each other, both breathing heavily.
This time Bunya made the first move jumping up into the air, getting ready to give Katherine a drop kick. She missed and hit the ground. She couldn't help but flinch a little at the impact.
Before Bunya could recover from her failed attack, Katherine crouched low, one hand holding her katana, before pouncing. Bunya turned in time to be tackled and have a sword pointing straight at her head. One of her fans were close to the hilt of the sword, so if it were a real battle she would have probably been able to hold the sword back for a while before it struck her.
The two girls stared at each other for at least a minute before Katherine got off of Bunya. "You did well, Bunya." Katherine held out her hand and helped Bunya back on her feet.
The two bowed to each other and as they were about to turn to leave Mikey burst out "That was awesome!"
That night when she was sure everyone was asleep Bunya ran off to her secret area. Bunya stared at the ship she had been fixing. She and Katherine were foreigners to whole of Earth, they are what humans, and mutants in some cases, would call extraterrestrials or aliens.
Their ship had crashed when they landed, of course. Even though Kat and she agreed on staying on earth forever, she couldn't help but feel the need to stay in contact with her family.
Bunya pulled a couple of switches and pushed a button. She listened as the silent engine that could only be heard by her kind, sputtered to life. It was a small ship, big enough to fit two people and a few boxes of cargo. She climbed into the ship through a hatch in the side then sat down in the pilots seat.
Bunya then touched a screen that was a little ways above the steering controls and started to push some of the buttons like a keyboard, the places she touched lighting up and then dimming a little. Soon a screen slowly and jerkily came down out of the roof of the ship. First there was only white noise and then a picture began to show.
"H-hello? Is anyone there?" she asked as she stared at the screen. After a while of waiting she saw someone run up to the screen on the other side of the transmission.
"Hello!? Who is this?" she noticed that the person who had answered her call was not a rabbit humanoid at all, but instead it was a lynx humanoid.
"Bowen!?" she gasped in shock as she looked at his features.
"What? How do you know my….Bunya?" Bowen had certainly changed from when she had last saw her friend. One was that he was way older looking than before, around his mid-thirties in human years, and he had a few scars marred over his face. One over the nose, under the jaw, and several on the top right side of his head where his ear used to be.
" Where have you been Bunya? You don't look a day older from since you left." Bowen couldn't help but say, his relief showing in his eyes, though his ear twitched slightly in agitation.
"I….Katherine a-and I landed o-on a planet called E-earth a few months ago." Bunya explained.
"A few months!? It's been years here on Veschqa!" Bowen exclaimed.
"Really!?"
"Yeah really. Anyways Bunya, I'm glad you contacted us. Don't worry, your family is fine." Bowen reassured her as he saw the look on her face, "Though I can't tell you everything now, so I'll make it brief. The Frio's, Sastanians, Basstrals, and the Tindereds have formed an alliance and declared war against the Rastilians, Lycorians, Dafro's, and the Fastens! So far we're the one's who are losing."
"Wait a sec! Aren't the Frio's Kat's race? Why would the Qalen Kingdom want to start a war with the Lafrond Kingdom!?"
"I don't know. But we're losing badly. Since you're….I would like to ask…to bring reinforcements or….come back so….teach magic to….the others! Most of the magicians have been…..out!"
"What!? This can't be happening! Bowen, try to speak louder! I think the connection is being severed!" Bunya yelled as she watched the screen static in horror.
"There….more time left! We need….help as soon as possible!.....Bring Katherine if you can!" Then in the screen there was an explosion. Bowen turned around with a glare at something behind him, his voice lowering as he growled. Bunya listened as there was a bang somewhere and watched as Bowen crouched low out of sight and charged at something. She saw a glow of him casting a weak spell before the connection was completely lost.
The rabbit girl sat in her seat stunned for several minutes, staring at the blank screen. She then quickly got up and ran back towards the Lair on all fours, desperate to tell Katherine the news of what is happening back at their home planet.
