13 A Meeting

A large ship lifted from the ground and joined hundreds of smaller ones already in the air. It ascended passed them and out of the atmosphere. When it approached the moon it slowed and traveled to the dark side. A city came into view. Small ships zipped in between buildings, some shot out towards earth, others out towards space. From the large ship a small shuttle launched that was soon darting between towers and other ships until it landed on a small pad.

The doors opened and out stepped a very large Draconian. He marched up to the door that slid open at his approach. He stood in the compression chamber for a moment until the light changed from red to green. He then removed his helmet and went through another door. The air inside was thick and humid. A small Grey came into view. The two spoke for a moment before going their separate ways. The Draconian took the elevator to the top floor.

When he arrived there were Iguanoid guards at the door to the adjoining chamber. They stood at attention as he went passed into the throne room. The Empress was there, he went to one knee and leaned forward with his right arm across his chest.

"Hail to Empress Sssla, the savior of our kind," he spoke in a deep grating voice.

"Rise General," She said, sounding like a snake. She came from the shadows, and she was indeed a snake. A giant Naga, with more snakes for hair. She had four arms and three eyes. Darkness oozed from her.

"I sense that the Alliance is not completely defeated." she continued.

"It is as you say Empress."

"In fact," she hissed. "They are some how growing stronger." She paused, looking at a purple sphere hovering in front of her. "Two Spires?! How did you let this happen!!!?"

"It is the Ransford children, they are growing in power." he stammered.

"LIES!" The Empress was irate at this imbecile. "You assured me that he was dead, that his children were not a threat." She descended the steps towards him. "Yet I sense him, a part of him. Is still very involved on the surface. Now, the very gates of Hades are under siege from Nephilim. Nephilim!" Black energy began to swirl around her. "The Ashtar High Command is asking questions, our window for victory is narrowing, and you have lost control of the situation. I trusted you and your plan General Ithica, to retake our home world and you have failed me."

He tried to speak, but couldn't. The dark energy swirled about him now, and was squeezing him like a python. His eyes bulged out and his tongue grew thick and fat. Soon the sound of bones popping and snapping could be heard. A pulverized lump fell to the ground as another Draconian entered the room.

The Empress turned at his entrance. "General Kaltchus, your timing is impeccable." She said as she fiddled with a control panel. Soon the image of another Naga appeared on a screen. "Grand Master Set, you will have the general you requested." A swarm of small Greys came into the room and began to remove what was left of Ithica.

"I will brief him of the situation once he arrives. Your highness, I have an update on our search for lost relics. The Atlantians have been reluctant, but they are starting to...come around."

Kaltchus took his leave and headed for the shuttle that once belonged to Ithica. It traveled back to the ship. The ship lifted off and headed back to earth, and burst into flames and crashed just outside of what was once known as Indianapolis.

Sirens were going off on the moon, several small ships were zipping in and out, of the towers. They were blasting down anything that moved. Taken by complete surprise it took some time for the defenses to come up. Once they did it was over quickly.

The Empress was being debriefed on the attack. It seemed that their attack on Nibiru didn't go well. They had lost contact with their fleet sometime ago, and now it appears that the Annunaki have begun to rally their forces. It was time for her to play her best hand. She left the conference room and headed down to the communications room.

Hours went by before she reemerged, a crooked smile on her face. The full might of the Saurian Empire would be felt here. This would be the battle that would end the war and bring the rest of the galaxy under her control.
