"What did you hope to accomplish with that little stunt?" Val demanded, appearing on Elysia and crossing her arms.
"She's gaining ground. Neptune is at the edge of the galaxy. If she can get past Jaxyn, she can get to us," Teresa stated, like it was obvious.
"Teresa, you're back... Well, at least one of you is bright," Monica stated, appearing and crossing her arms.
Val narrowed her eyes. "Stay out of my galaxy."
Monica laughed. "You forget, Val... It isn't yours. It's Apollo's. And for the moment, he's clueless."
"Yeah, until I rat you out," Val scoffed, crossing her arms.
"Why would he believe you over his precious Zayra? It will just look like you're trying to shift the blame for your benefit," Monica retorted.
Val huffed, crossing her arms. "Then what now, know-it-all?"
"Now, Haven is going to destroy the edge of your galaxy..." Monica stated.
Val laughed. "Don't be ridiculous. Harry wouldn't do that."
Monica raised an eyebrow. "You left, so now I'm unmatched... Harry is a weak leader, hardly comparable to Genesis and our little traitor prince."
Teresa disappeared then returned, nodding. "Lady Val, Haven has been conquered..."
Val glared, crossing her arms. "Well, Rybrospo will stop you."
"The people listen to Stella, not you. Do you really believe she'd let you put them at risk? And if you do try to stop them, you'd have to fight innocent people roped into my scheme...not me. Not the Empire. Soldiers sent out to one of the strongest planets, now turned into a pathetic, defenseless planet. If I were you, I might start evacuating the people... Jaxyn seems a bit busy," Monica winked.
Val glared. "This isn't over."
"I agree," Monica added. "This has always been between you and me, Val. Checkmate."
Teresa rolled her eyes, following after Val as she disappeared. "We're destroying the ships, right?"
"No... We're evacuating Jaxyn's planet. We can't fight the Kingdom. They're being manipulated... It's not their fault."
Teresa sighed. "Fine. Let's get started..."
