The Interplanetary Visit

IDS Security Program

Meanwhile, the SEB and PEIDB air force were having a hard time. They suffered much more casualties than the IDS warships did. The IDS warships were more advanced than they had expected, and it was then that PEIDB director realized that they were being played with by their very own prototypes. At that moment, as Ethan swerved his pod up to avoid a laser shot from a huge warship, helicopter sounds filled the air. It was the Secret Council. Throngs of helicopters, stealth fighter planes and modified white Mercurian pods came into the battlefield. It was obvious that the Secret Council hid some alien pods for themselves, and many of their stealth fighters were obviously equipped with alien technology. Their presence seemed to make a difference; it turned the tables against the IDS Earth supplementary force by sheer number.

At the exact same time, hordes of IDS newly-developed, red beetle pods streamed out from the planet Mars. It was astonishing how a small planet could hold so many IDS warships. But it was not surprising to the Jupitian force, they knew that Mars had been under IDS infiltration and rule for some time and was, after all, the planetary headquarters of IDS. The Jupitian warships went into action. Whatever attack pods remained from the previous battle had been wiped out as space was literally littered with broken warships and pod pieces. Warships from the other planets could be seen streaming and rejoining in the battle after their own planets had been rid of the IDS bases. The odds were even for now.

The Jupitian Prince looked at the virtual gateway that he had just burned with his intense pyrokinesis. It was number one hundred and six. There was not enough time. His senses told him that there was another six minutes. They would never make it, but no matter what, he would try. Focusing all his energy on pyrokinesis, he sent white searing fireballs towards each thicker door. His pod was now just behind him, handling the viruses well with fire, claws and a huge thrashing tail. The progress was significantly much faster with his help. If only he had done it sooner. Yet despite all the technology and his intelligence, time manipulation was still an impossibility.

In the physical world, the pod was advancing at high speed. The base was much bigger than the below-the-arctic weapons base. It was the whole mountain. Nothing was what it seemed.

Saterina sat on her overly luxurious leather couch on the platform. She valued comfort and power. Looking at the huge screen that showed the planetary battle before her, she smiled. The Jupitian Warships were too occupied with the Martian IDS warships. There was nothing the Jupitians could do that could increase the odds of victory against the IDS. Her dream to dominate the galaxy would be realized soon enough. Once Jupiter was defeated, she would merge the technology, and be able to travel millions of light years, easily. The IDS warships could be updated easily through the Jupitian update system. She tapped her fingers on the controls as the countdown of her ultimate weapon alignment got nearer and nearer. It did not bother her in the very least that her bases on the other planets were destroyed, it would be easy to reclaim them once Jupiter was out of the picture.

Suddenly the computer alarm rang. Saterina looked at the screen.

Something had breached the hundredth security program. She gritted her teeth and smiled. Looking over the couch, she said casually to the computer, "So, the Jupitian Prince is still alive and he has the guts to hack into my system... and in virtual reality! I was getting worried that nobody could challenge me. It sorts of kills all the fun in it. Should I just simply initiate the attack sequence now and clear off the hacking? No doubt then, the pod and the Jupitian Prince will be fried. Physically, the pod and the Prince would just be empty and soulless shells. Ah, and what's this? A battle with PEIDB and SEB at the mountain peaks." Saterina smiled further as the screen changed to a split screen, one with the Jupitian pod crashing through the floors and one of the battle with the Secret Government at the peak. "And it seems that our Jupitian friend is visiting us physically."
