Chapter 5

The huge objects sparkled like diamonds set against a blanket of black velvet. Casey rubbed over the goosebumps on her skin, her fingers trembling as she pointed out the cockpit window. “They’re getting closer.”

No one spoke as Thorn squinted at the computer screen and smiled. “Those aren’t enemy aircraft. It’s the Galactic Federation!”

Casey let out a long breath as relief flooded every fiber of her body.

Jack shook his head. “No idea what the Galactic Federation is, but I hope they’re friendlier than the rebel Greys.”

“For a moment, I thought we’d be ash this time,” said Mike. “But those are the good guys, right?”

Thorn nodded, still staring ahead. Casey frowned, wondering why he wasn’t laughing and jumping for joy like everyone else. Granted, he didn’t have human emotions, but still. She cocked her head in thought. How does Thorn show happiness anyway? She hadn’t spent enough time with him to really know.

Her dad put his arms around her mom’s shoulders. “Does this mean it’s all over?”

Thorn sighed and turned away from the screen, his gaze sweeping over Casey but not really focusing on her. Whatever was the matter with him, he didn’t seem to want to share it. He was most likely grieving for his brother. “As you humans would say, we’re out of the woods,” said Thorn.

A hologram materialized in the center of the room. “This is General Ashtar, Commander of Agarthian Forces.”

A wave of relief flooded through her. General Ashtar stood tall and resolute in a one-piece black and white uniform that clung to his muscular body. His confident stance screamed authority, but then again, it could also be his imposing height that gave Casey a sudden sense of confidence that their mission would turn out successful. “Unidentified vessel, you’ve entered restricted space,” said the general. “Power down immediately and be prepared to be boarded.”

Casey lunged forward, but Mike beat her to it. He pressed a gold switch and sauntered up to the floating image. “Hey, General Ashtar, it’s me, your lifesaver.”

“Mike,” said Casey.

He shrugged. “Yeah, I’m called that too.”

“You’re alive!” General Ashtar ran his hands through his short blond hair, and a sudden grin crossed his lips.

“Not only are we alive…” Mike threw Casey a meaningful glance. “But we also rescued the kidnapped Agarthians.” He smiled, adding under his breath, “And saved your galactic butt. How about that?”

“They made it!” the general yelled over his shoulder. “And they saved the others.” Cheers erupted in the background. General Ashtar’s stiff posture relaxed a little, his shoulders raising as though a great burden had just been lifted, but his hands remained behind his back. He cleared his throat and focused his eyes on Casey. “Nibiru, our largest battleship in the fleet, isn’t far behind. She changed course when her commander was informed the rebels intended to sterilize Earth.”

Casey nodded. She didn’t know what to say. She’d doubted him a lot on this mission, but his brilliant plan saved everyone on Earth. She still had to get her head around that one.
