"What do you mean Jupitian robots?" Ken asked, utterly shocked.

"Simple, in case you didn't know, a whole batch of Jupitian droids were going to Venus as added defense for Venus. However, the delivery ship had to pass by a few of my warships, so I took the liberty to look after them and reprogram them."

"You stole Venus' robots," Ken said, stating the obvious through gritted teeth.

"Well, Venus is such a primitive place. Those stupid Venusians are only bothered with their environment. Doing their gardening, playing around on their fire gardens, that's about all they do. Though I must admit the Venusian rose is the most beautiful plant in the entire galaxy... A little hot to the touch for me though."

Pressing a button and enlarging the galaxy route of Jupiter and Venus, the Saturnian continued, "No doubt they are living the most peaceful lives in the galaxy, but they are just so satisfied with their lives, that they have not moved on since their civilization reached its peak three hundred Venusian years ago. In fact, they would not have known the existence of the other planets, had we not extended the invitation for them to join the Intergalactic council. Besides, if you could recall, which you might not, with the mumbo jumbo to block your memories, they were hardly interested in all the affairs unless it dealt with nature. To them, these droids were not going to defend them, but only to ruin the beauty of their environment. They would give themselves up to prevent a small hole made in their ground. It's really a pity that they don't inhabit Earth... Besides, who would be concerned with a gardener's planet?"

"Leave Venus alone," Ken added with a voice that would have pierced a girl's heart. "And what do you mean by the mumbo jumbo done onto me!"

"Ah, my Prince, I have sources beyond your comprehension. Did you think that I came this far without knowing things that I want to know? Your visit to Earth had been a surprise to me. And I could not help but to ensure that I find out all I can about you."

"How did you find out about me?" Ken asked through gritted teeth.

"That will be for me to know, and for you to find out. But you will, when your beloved visitor comes... if you survive with these Venusian robots. I've had my eyes set on the galaxy. Perhaps Venus would be a good target practice before I actually go for Jupiter?"

"Leave Venus alone," Ken repeated. He was full of agony and confusion on how Saterina knew about his life story. Everyone seemed to know about it except him.

"Oh, I will, it's too primitive, it'll be nothing but an insult to have it under my rule. However, Jupiter would make a good slave central for me. Its torrential winds would do good to power my weapons manufacturing."

"You're crazy!" Ken yelled moving forward. However, the weapons stopped him.

"Oh, I'm not. I can assure you that, in fact, I was certified in the pink of mental health by the Saturnian authorities. They classified me sane to suggest a declaration of war on Jupiter at that time. In fact, I am sane enough to control whatever attack weapons that are available in the planets that IDS had overthrown now. And... sane enough to ensure that they are being positioned for firing towards Jupiter. By pressing a small button, concentrated fire will be upon your Jupitian power shield, which your people were so proud of. But then, I'm afraid that you'll be the only Jupitian survivor in the galaxy... If you are even Jupitian in origin."

"You... will... not... destroy... JUPITER!" The Prince roared.

"HA! That'll only be too easy. Right this very minute, Neptune is losing their internal security forces by large numbers, destroyed by my IDS base there. The entire Neptunian political powers are practically under my power. Only Jupiter stands between me and Milky Way! I must, on the other hand, applaud Jupiter's internal security forces. It is hard to manage such a big planet, yet, your parents have done very well. The Jupitian intelligence had been a major hindrance to my people sneaking to establish a base there, but, I must say, the biggest obstacle to this day, is the loyalty and patriotism of your people to your royal family. They must be treating the people well. I could not even convince anyone that the Jupitian government is terrible... But, all that is about to change soon."
