L.D: I do not own Titan AE
As "Brother" arrived to his ship he began to wonder. He had always thought the human race was strong but he knew "Cousin" liked to play rough. His "games" had exterminated civilizations throughout the years but he had the feeling this time it wouldn't be the case. He walked impatiently in his ship's command center. It wasn't long before "Cousin" arrived as well.
"Well I see you have finished playing" "Brother" said coldly.
"Yes and if everything goes like I expect we won't have to worry about the humans anymore" the other one replied with cruelty in his face.
"Brother" just nodded, but he couldn't be as positive as his partner. "Just in case I've set a course for planet Ophrys, home of the titans" He said.
"Cousin" looked upset by this revelation. "Are you implying the humans could survive my force?" he said angrily. "Cousin" and "Brother" had always had a sibling relationship, so they tended to get on each other's nerves.
"No" "Brother replied simply even though he knew the answer would be insufficient for his companion.
"Then..." Cousin began, but he was immediately cut off.
"I just want to make sure you don't ashame yourself like you did with the first destruction of Earth, when you came home boasting about the destruction of human race and the tricks you used to put the Drej under your control." The other one replied hardly meaning to hurt his companion's pride.
"Are you picking up a fight?" "Cousin" shouted before throwing himself over to "Brother". The other one moved swiftly to avoid his companion and before "Cousin" could avoid it "Brother" had him by the neck and was chocking him.
"You should realize who you owe your life to "Cousin" " "Brother" said irritated. "Failure is not an option here. "Father" was very clear in that point wasn't he? If you fall then I fall with you, and I am not going to let your ego ruin my plan. If the humans are destroyed because of your game then so be it, but it is always good to have a contingency plan"
He let go of "Cousin" who began cough but nodded. "Brother" smiled evilly "Then off to planet Ophrys" He said as his ship reached lightspeed velocity

As Joseph Korso sat in his ship's bridge he drifted into his memories. He and his pirate fleet which as far as he knew was somewhere over 500 ships had been called by Mr. Wong a member of the planet's government for a job. He couldn't help getting nostalgic about going to the planet he helped to create even though he had tried to avoid it before. He remembered how he aided Cale in getting back to the ship and how he had managed to get himself in an emergency capsule of the Titan before the creation of the planet and how he managed to avoid the meteorites which were being attracted by the Titan. He himself didn't quite know how he got out but he did. He was found by one pirate ship and brought to the universe's pirate lair, Tortuga, to be sold as a slave and he had to endure many hardships to finally gain control of the pirates.
(AN: Korso's story will be explained in another story.)
He had even found love in his second in command a girl, about Akima's age called Kate, raised in the hard streets of such planet. He sighed, life had treated him good so far. Bur now he had to face Cale and Akima and maybe Gune and Stith as well and he wasn't sure he was ready for that. The radar operator interrupted his thoughts.
"Sir we have a ship on our radars" The young human boy said.
"Is it coming to us?" Korso asked.
"No sir" the operator replied.
"Then let it be" he replied calmly "Where is it headed?"
"New Earth sir" the operator responded.
"Do we have the specs on that ship?" He asked
"Didn't you just tell me to let it be?" Said the operator a little confused. Korso sighed in exasperation.
"Yes I did but I am curious ok?" Korso replied with a smirk on his face.
"Yes sir, is the same model as our entire fleet but it's less armed. That is why it's faster than our ships".
"Give me a 3D image of our "friend" so that I can take a better look at it" He ordered.
The technicians began to work on it but if his feeling was right he would be seeing his old crew faster than he had expected.
"I'm sending you the data captain" a young technician teenage girl.
"Thanks Charlotte" he said with a wide grin on his face. "You should learn from your sister Alex" he told the radar operator who just mumbled something in response, he didn't care. It felt good to see his old ship after all this time whether or not he was welcome inside.
"Keep our distance and tell Kate to come to the main ship" He told the communications officer who was an akrennian male just like his former First mate.
"Guys, do not lose it" he told his veteran pilots, one of them was, Callarr, a female wolf alien, the other one was Nate a former human combat pilot. The funny part was they were husband and wife.
"Aye captain" they responded in unison.
"How much until we reach New Earth?" He asked.
"A few hours" Nate responded.

Stith stood in the Valkyrie's bridge all the time. She didn't rest even when she had been awake all the week, she just couldn't. The female Mantrin had replaced the space in the crew which Akima and Cale left vacant. Since the Neo Genesis of Earth the Valkyrie had been managed by 2 crew members, Gune and her. Of course she had at first tried some people for the posts but no one would last more than a mission. And so the last year they stopped the recruitment process and began to run things by themselves which meant the same quantity of work for Gune but the triple for her.
She had however bought a pilot robot, as neither of them were pilots. The robot was attached to the central computer and responded to Stith's voice commands. Everything was going fine until this mission. This mission in which Gune almost lost his life twice and the robot was almost destroyed beyond repair. The mission had looked easy: Destroy a slave's merchant camp in Gune's home planet "Grepo".
All had gone wrong. The data the client had given them was proven almost entirely false, there was no such thing as a merchant's camp. It was a military base, an Akrennian at that, completely protected. For god's sake they had a hard time and they didn't even get close to the main camp. One thing was true though. They were abusing the Grepoans and had killed about a thousand when they arrived which made her feel even less respect for that disgraceful race. However as bad as the mission had went it had opened her eyes she needed a crew.
An alarm began to sound throughout all the ship. She went to the radar post and pressed a few things to find the cause of the alarm. A tridimensional image of New Earth appeared before her as well as an asteroid, a big one at that, which was headed for the human world. A really alarmed Gune came running into the bridge really nervous and occupied his post. She could only curse.
"Oh my fucking…" she said before rushing towards the pilot's seat. She disconnected the robot and took the matter into her own hands rushing as fast as the ship could towards new Earth.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Titan AE)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
As Korso received the news of an asteroid going towards New Earth he ordered the fleet to march full speed ahead.
"My race won't lose a second home" He thought to himself. "Not on my watch" he thought to himself. He looked at Kate his girlfriend and second in command who just nodded. It was a good thing he had asked her to go to his ship, she always reassured him.
