In the middle of Fall, SWORD is having a really busy week, they were moving out from their temporary base and towards the new base, where? In space.

Using the Mothership of the United Nations, where almost every country had given their resources towards building it in a year, SWORD was able to move to their new base on low orbit.

The base has been built by the Zimeran kingdom using their small spaceship, but transferring all the equipment requires a big ass ship, so it took a long time to finally get to this stage. Aside from building a base in low orbit, Zimera also built a research outpost on the dark side of the moon, for… sensitive research topic.

Grodd stood in the already built HQ, with Fury besides him as the spaceship was getting outside the atmosphere of earth.

‘SS-NEW HOPE’ was written on the side of the mothership, and now, the ship is in the process of docking.

“Checking pressure… the ship has successfully docked.” said the monitor guy. And as he said it, the entire room clapped, as if a huge pressure had been released.

Grodd just smiled at the sight of Earth in front of him, making Fury curious.

“Your majesty?” he asked.

“Director. Can you imagine an earth without borders?” asked Grodd calmly. “An Earth where everyone is called an Earthling, not Simians, not Americans, not British, just… Earthling.”

“An Earth under one banner?” Fury said.

“Exactly.” said Grodd. “Compared to other civilizations in the universe, we are nothing, we cannot even unite ourselves under one goal.”

“That is a dangerous thought, your majesty.” Fury pointed out. “If Earth Leaders heard you, you’d be labeled an extremist.”

“Perhaps.” Grodd hummed. “But that’s a goal for another time.”

Grodd then walked away from the control room, leaving Fury, with a frown in his face, alone.



As weeks went by, the equipment and sensitive assets of SWORD were finally transferred to the HQ. After that, the mothership undocked itself, before setting its destination to the moon, where it will stay for quite a while there.

Fury stood in the middle of the control room, watching every staff member inside it with his one eye.

“Status?”

“Weapons are online sir.” said a monitor guy.

“Shield is online.” said another monitor guy.

“Camouflage is ready to be activated sir.” said a monitor gal this time.

“Connection with Earth and the moon outpost established.” said a moni— you get the point.

“Good.” Fury nodded. “Activate the camo.”

“Right away sir. Camouflage mode activating… camouflage mode activated.”

And with that, the HQ disappeared from space, hidden from all eyes to see.



Meanwhile, on earth, Pluto and Thena were watching this event take place from the television. It was a momentous occasion for everyone on earth, every country is celebrating the launch of SS-New Hope, as it was the collaborative work of most countries, not just one.

“It's a pity we can’t go outside of earth,” said Thena.

Pluto just shrugged at the comment. “Who knows, maybe we'll someday. Wait, scratch that, we definitely will.”

Suddenly, the sounds of footsteps came from the stairs, it was Helios, seemingly in a hurry.

“You’re gonna be late.” Commented Thena.

“Yeah I know!” said Helios, rushing towards the door. Suddenly, Pluto also stood up from his seat, walking towards the door.

“Where are you going?” asked Helios, confused at why his dad is going at the same time as him.

“Your field trip to Smith Medicals, it’s today right?” asked Pluto as he took his car keys.

Helios’s face contorted, he had a bad feeling about this. “Yeah… why?”

“Well then, let’s go.” said Pluto, opening the door.

“What are you doing?” asked Helios. “Why are you coming with me?“

“Wait, I thought I told you this,” said Pluto. “I’m going to be your class’s guide.”

“What?!” Helios practically shrieked. “No no no no no. Why are you doing this?”

“No reason.” Pluto shrugged. “Come on. You’ll be late.”

As Pluto exited the house, Helios just turned to his mom. “You’re not going to stop him?”

“What’s the harm?” said Thena with a smile. “Just go, it’s almost 8 AM.”

Helios just sighed, accepting his fate, and followed his dad outside towards the outside.
