Titan's ship landed on an alpine planet on the edge of Lumina's territory. The craft touched down nearby a village where an entourage of tiger wolves waited. This was one of the only two planets in Lumina's territory that housed tiger wolves. Unlike the ones on the furs home world these tiger wolves were born in Lumina's territory in fact they never left the planet in their lives as their civilization as still too primitive for that for theirs was not a culture based on technology. Thanks to Lumina they lived comfortable lives where the children had full bellies, hardly any crime, no disease, bountiful harvests and hunting. Under the warlords protection they lived in a peaceful utopia far from war and strife. It was a life that most only dream about. They were not ignorant to what happens around the galaxy though. They knew full well who Odin was and his crusade which is why they reached out to Lumina to protect them

Titian walked to the village the tiger wolves waved the cubs looked at him tails wagging in joy. Unlike others These tiger wolves were peaceful and never had a need to have a military until now. They had warriors but those people acted more like a police force arresting the odd criminal for petty theft they were equipped to protect their villages from threats like raiders and thieves but not an army especially one as powerful as Odin. Titian was trusted and beloved by them. It wasn't long before the ship appeared int eh sky bearing Odin crest.

Titan crossed his arms but stayed back watching. Soon heavily armored anthro raptor troops burst from the ship gun aimed at the ready. Luna walked out of the ship behind them. The tiger wolves looked at Luna. They had no idea just how big of a threat she is. Luna growled seeing so many tiger wolves in one place. It irritated her that they didn't even seem to consider her a threat.

"Surround the city I want ever last one of these abominations dead at my feet" She ordered.

The troops stepped forward but stopped. They began to back away slowly when they spotted Titan glowering at them Luna had yet to notice the annoyed Pegasus.

"WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU COWARDS!?THEY ARE JUST A BUNCH OF TIGER WOLVES!" Luna hissed.

She looked around before spotting Titan. She let out a gasp.

"Titan is here!?" Luna she said shocked.

"You forgot to say General, That's not Polite Luna I guess you're thinking more highly of yourself then usual." Titian said walking out slowly.

"I am here to eradicate the tiger wolves I have no business with you." Luna said flatly.

"That's where we differ. These tiger wolves are in Lady Lumina's territory thus they're under her protection. I couldn't care less what you do to the other tiger wolves so long as they're outside our territory. But you already decided to destroy a planet of tiger wolves that happened to be IN our territory and here you are trying to do it again. Your actions have not gone unnoticed nor will they wont go unpunished so I will say this only once. Turn and leave now while you still have legs to do so." he warned crossing his arms.

Luna growled her tail slamming hard on the ground she hated it when others would look down on her..

"I will not be ordered by an over grown glue stick who is nothing more than Lumina's bitch." She spat.

That as a mistake Luna would soon regret while titan was servant to his own daughter. He was still one of the strongest anthros alive. While Lumina's power surpassed his many times over Titan was strong in his own right. During the war with Kira the war lords refused to get involved. The furs begged Lumina but she refused. Had Titan got involved there was an extremely high chance the furs would have won and their world wouldn't have been destroyed. Titans ears clocked back against his head as he taps his hoof in agitation.

"Is that right... You seem to forget your place." he growled.

He uncrossed his arms and glared at Luna. The ground began to shake a bit an ominous golden aura begin to engulf him.

"Look like I will have to remind you." He said.

Luna growled charging at him. Titan casually held up his hand thrusting his arm shoving Luna so hard she went crashing into a nearby river The tiger wolves cheered.

"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY THAT!" Luna roared.

She spread her wings shooting out of the water like a rocket flying at Titan she slash at his face but the stallion just tilted his head to left avoiding a swipe from her right paw and to the right avoiding one from her left. She spun on a heel aiming a kick at the Equine's skull only for him to flick her right in the shin sending her sprawling onto the ground. Titan reaches down grabbing Luna by her head horn spreading his wing with a might flap he took off into he still keeping a firm hold on the dragoness. He lifted her so she was now eye level with him.

"This is what happens when cold bloods don't know their place." Titan fumed.

Flare having watched the brawl flew up putting Titan into a full nelson in an attempt to stop him. But that did nothing but Annoy Titan. The stallion snorted and grabbed Luna by the face squeezing her skull before pulling her over his shoulder by her horns. He then bashed the two dragon's heads together almost knocking them out. Titan let go of Flare then lifted a powerful leg driving his hoof hard into Flare's stomach sending her crashing into the ground below in a Heep with a single kick. He then lifted his other leg kicking Luna just as hard in the side sending her into the ground as well.

Luna stood up weakly coughing as the large stallion stood in front of her. Blood trailed own the size of her head snout and the edges of her mouth. She could tell a few of her ribs were broken causing her breathing to become labored. Her legs shook before she fell to a knee holding her left side.

"Is this all the power you posses? How disappointing. I expected more from a child of Odin and Divina" Titian said.

"You don't know a thing about me and don't talk like you know my mother!" Luna spat weakly

"I knew Divina quite well in fact. I knew Divina I fought Divina. YOU are nothing like her. She was one of the few of you cold bloods I actually respected and acknowledged her death was strategy and ti broke the heard of many myself included. But that was then and this is now and Now its time for you to be brought to task." Titan said landing in front of her.

"Bastard I knew you were strong but I never imagined you would be this powerful....heh well I take pride in the fact that it took the great general Titian to kill me. Its a bit of an honor really to be killed by one of the strongest people in the universe." Luna said with a bit of a smirk.

"Thank you. I think that a fine way to accept your fate. You will die with your honor intact" The stallion said calmly.

He soon heard the roar of Luna ship's engine and turned around. The ship then fired a missile. Reached out catching the missile with his hand hands plating his hooves into he ground he held the weapon in place his ears pinned against his head it begin to push him back slowly. Luna with the troops helping her walk fled back tot he ship. Seeing flare beaten and bruised sitting in the cockpit.

"Not to call you a coward auntie but those who run away DO live to fight another day." Flare said weakly.

"Agreed...." Luna snarled.

The troops all returned to the ship as it took off in great haste. Titian growls and managed to redirect the missile into the where it exploded. He stamped his hoof an out rage. The ship stopped to see a large fleet of massive ships. They had formed a blockade

"THERE IS A FLEET OF BATTLE CRUISERS AND GALLEONS ITS LUMINA'S WAR FLEET! I AM COUNTING OVER 200 SHIPS!" One of the troop cried in alarm.

Luna growled. While she was fighting Titan a fleet blockaded the planet even if she had won they wouldn't make it out of this alive. They had lost.

"This is it then." Luna said.

She waited for them to fire but the shots never came.

"Your highness...we have a message the lead ship is hailing us." one of the navigators said

"Put it through." Luna said.

The holographic image of Titans' mate Lumina's Mother a unicorn appeared. She had beautiful white fur and a golden blonde mane and tail a thick build standard with equine wearing a beautiful blue silk rob that concealed her triple F cup breasts. She wore a golden ring on her ivory colored horn.

"Persephone..." Luna growled

The unicorn had a regal heir about her she stood looking at Luna with a disapproving scowl.

"Well It seems you managed to escape my mate just when I though the blockade would be a waste of time. Though he definitely worked you over pretty good and now I have you at MY mercy you just aren't having a good day are you." she gloated.

"JUST PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY ALREADY ITS MUCH BETTER THAN HEARING YOU GLOAT!" Luna growls before holding her side in pain.

Flare looked over at the system all the ships were locked on to them.

"I could just turn you into dust OR you can listen to my alternative." Persephone said.

Luna growled but she then looked at the crew and then she looked at Flare. She couldn't care less about her crew but Flare was another matter. She wasn't going to allow flare to die if she could help it. Even if it mean swallowing her pride. Odin knew nothing of the raids in Lumina's territory his wrath would be swift. But Flare was just following orders.

Luna looked at the unicorn.

"Whats the alternative?" Luna asked.

"A simple task really. I drew up a treaty. You will agree to NEVER hunt tiger wolves in our territory again furthermore any tiger wolf who manages to make their way our territory will be safe from you and your brute of a father and you will leave them be. If you fail to up hold the terms of this treated mistress Lumina herself will declare war on Odin and destroy EVERY planet in his territory starting with Wyvern." Persephone said with an arrogant tone.

"My father will never agree to this. This sounds less like an alternative and more like a threat." Luna said.

"Then you misunderstand the situation. Right now YOU are speaking for Odin as I am speaking for Lumina. What you agree to is what they have to agree to. Right now you have two choices You sign this treaty or we destroy you here and now. I am sure I can convince my daughter to destroy Wyvern after we are done here as well if you continue to not cooperate...Perhaps I was unclear before Let me REMIND you of your position." The equine huffed.

Alarms in Luna ship went off one of the massive battle ships fires a warning shot missing Luna ship by mere inches.

"The next one wont miss. I don't make threats girl. I make promises."

Persephone warned.

Luna knew Odin would be furious enough with her for raiding in Lumina's territory. But now she had to agree Odin would spare tiger wolves if the took refuge in Lumina's territory otherwise a war would break out. As powerful as Odin was compared to Lumina he was as gentle as a sleeping kitten. If a war broke out Odin would lose very easily. Luna's paws were tied she had no choice Odin wrath would be harsh and swift.

"I agree....." Luna said begrudgingly.

"Splendid we will be in touch for further details" Persephone replied.

Luna looked put the window seeing one of the massive warships moving aside to make a path. Flare didn't need to be told she put the ship full throttle and sped off leaving the star system Luna sighs before passing out. After about 10 minutes they returned to Oblivion crash landing into he hangar. Emergency medical teams were on the scene in minute rushing Luna tot he intensive care. Flare was also taken to the emergency room. Her injuries weren't nearly as bad as Luna's but the mental injuries were another matter. For the first time Luna truly began top question weather this crusade was really worth it. She thought about Chase as she lay in a hospital bed her head bandaged and her right arm in a cast.

"Perhaps I should visit him again....and take a break from all of this." Flare thought to herself.
