A sudden rush of melancholy ambience flooded the atmosphere. There was nothing to describe it. Wiknar sat back in her seat, a wave of depressive emotion flowing through her body. Warrion sat next to her and watched with pity as the grief conquered her mind. "I just realized something, Warri," she spoke softly. Warrion's eyes widened in attention. "Mandy was only improvising missions for us. Do you really think they would start a war on Earth when they just ended seven? ...They wanted us to travel the stars and the earth as they did. They wanted us to learn."
"Learn what?"
"The ways of the universe, how they should be. The federation is corrupt, Warri. We can't go back."
"Wiknar, you're crazy! Of course it's corrupt, and so is everything else. Nothing throughout the infinitely many universes is perfect or pure."
"This is no normal kind of corruption. This is just a more civilized version of the Mosin Realm."
"What...?"
"My species, they were eradicated during war. Instead of finding some way to repopulate my species, the federation protects me at all costs while still using me as a part of its army."
"Mandy was in a similar state when they were first created."
"But they were not affiliated with the federation. And, in a way, they still aren't. A rebel wouldn't be with it's opponent."
"...And they keep the fact that Mandy is a rebel hidden."
"Now you're onto it!"
"What are we going to do?"
"The same thing Mandy did. We're going to rebel."

Wiknar tapped on a holographic screen to contact Juvia. It took a minute for signals to pass through, but she answered. "Wiknar," Juvia aired with confusion, "why are you contacting me? Aren't you supposed to contact Mahndi?"
"Hush it, Juvia," Wiknar scowled. "It's not Mahndi who I need to talk to."
"Well then, what is it?"
Wiknar looked at Warrion then back at the screen. "I'm afraid we won't be returning from our mission anytime soon."
"What?! Oh, Wiknar, did something happen? I'll send backup right away, just tell me-"
"In order to more fully understand this reality, we must take into account other dimensions of a broader reality, the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness..."
"...Wiknar? Wiknar, you're not making any sense. Do you read me?"
"The infinite vibratory levels, the dimensions of interconnectedness are without end. There is nothing independent. All beings and things are residents in your awareness."
"...Where are you located?"
" Thus passing through the infinite varieties of space we reach the divine space which is absolutely free from all dimensions and constitutes the meeting point of all infinities..."
"No...No, you're not saying."
"Goodbye, Juvia."

"Mahndi," Juvia called as she burst through the tall doors, "Mahndi, we have a problem." Mandy sat up and opened their eyes.
"It is day, Juvia," they spoke, "I need my rest."
"With all do respect, there is no time for rest."
Mandy sighed. "What is the matter?"
"Wiknar and Warrion... They've...rebelled. They told both Neaeva and I that they couldn't follow our route anymore and then cut off all lines of communication! They went off our radar!"
Mandy laughed, "I figured this would happen. That's what happens when you travel the stars."
"What?"
Mandy hopped off their throne and began to stroll up to Juvia. "I've been amongst many, though I've never traveled too far. I saw multiple governments, societies, federations, all on one planet. Most worked. All beings had their political views and opinions in which were taken into thought. The government did not shape itself."
"Your point is?"
"When the people did not like the ways of the government, and their political values were ignored and disregarded, they would take matters into their own hands. They would rebel."
"You're not saying their rebelling... You, no, no, you can't be telling the truth."
"..."
"No, Maov, no! They can't rebel! Do you know what that will cause?!"

Mandy smiled and walked laggardly around Juvia in a hunting manner. "Juvia, dear, this will cause war. I'm not stupid. Those two, they're wise. They listen to me, now. There is no way to fix the federation without provoking some sort of war."
"If Wiknar dies, her species will be extinct!"
"No, no, my doll, I gave figured this out. They two, they're in love, they've told us. I even made a bet on it. If they repopulate, it will be fine. And even if they decide not to, I managed to vrig every species of the mandragora kingdom back when there were only two officinarium left."
"And how do you expect to win the war?"
"News has spread across dimensions. They know I shattered that crystal, and they know why. I am ruler of the Rebels. I am a rebel against the federation, because it is corrupt. They know now."

Mandy stopped in front of Juvia and gave her a threatening look, their mouth hidden. Juvia was reaching behind her back, but she wasn't very sly about it. Mandy summoned a spear from thin air, in which they altered into light. "I suppose you want to take me on," they spoke. Juvia pulled out a dagger and lunged at Mandy, falling over when dodged and rolling back to her feet. Mandy elbowed her in the stomach and batted her to the ground. They pointed their spear at her neck to pin her down. "You can't stop me," they aired. "I think you've misjudged my power." They kneeled down.
"I can kill with just a screech. I can kill people in their sleep by traveling through their dreams. Even my blood has enough alkaloids in a microscopic drop to kill a fully grown Beaufajin." They inched closer to Juvia's face, pricking her neck with their spear. "I am no god, but I am unstoppable. Why do you think the federation kept me weakened?"

"Laroya," Juvia screamed as she charged through the doors. "Donné, our problem has gotten worse!" Donné sat straight up. "Darling, your neck is bleeding. Did something happen?"
"It's Mandavi... They've started a rebellion."
"Damn! I knew this would happen."
"Wiknar and Warri have gone off the grid."
"Track their last known location. I'll send a few warriors to them."
Juvia tossed four rocks into their air which formed a screen. "...Unknown..."
"You didn't go to Mahndi, did you?"
"...I did."
"They've erased all data of the two! Now only they know where they are."
"...Perhaps they've gone to them."
"Yes... Yes, we can track their location! They had to take a pod in order to enter the same ship as Wiknar and Warri; if we're lucky, we can still track that."
"On it."
