“We finally found one!” said Blaze, the 17-year-old, while running to his father Arsen. Blaze quickly went looking for his father, the ruler of their planet, and the head of the royal household, called the Arist.  
“What did you find?” said Arsen looking a little worried.  
“I found an undiscovered planet and found items there that are worth a lot of money, maybe we can start a business. What do you think?” 
  “Since our incomes are going down fast, we need to look for a way to settle for business.” 
Blaze and Arsen walk to the planetary room, where they have the whole solar system on a virtual board. They talk about the planet, and they soon realize that it is a planet that has been discovered already but has long been forgotten for over 100 years. They find out that the name of the planet is Arkone, and there are valuable metals in the land of the planet.  
Arsen explains, “We are a hair away from our rivals overtaking us in values, which is a huge problem, since if they have enough money, they will soon buy our businesses and there is nothing we can do about it because the Czar will not let us higher the price.”  
“That means that this planet could save us and give us enough values to be comfortable,” says Blaze as he investigated further lost files of the newly found planet. 
“Remember son the main goal is to keep our legacy going just like our ancestors did for centuries, and not to become insanely rich. That is a massive problem if we do, since we will be the main target of other bigger households.”  
“I understand”  
“Okay now go and practice your fighting skills, your teacher is already waiting for you, I will discuss permission with the Czar to land on Arkone, and plan out the beginning of the landing.” 
A few days pass and this is the day the Arists begin their trip to the planet, Arkone. Everything is packed up, and ready to go. Arsen also got a sizable chunk of the army they had for protection, and for help, in case anything goes wrong. Arsen sends 16 ships filled with materials, and machines that can be used to explore, and mine the metals that can be found on that planet. All the ships take off and are headed for a massive orb in the sky, which will allow them to exit their planet, since there is a protective shield around it. They get through it and are now headed full speed towards Arkone.  
“Listen son, we are headed for a land that we don’t know anything about, and this is your first time coming with us. I want you to be careful since anything can happen. If ANYTHING goes south, I landed a small ship, untraceable, on top of a higher mountain on the planet. To get there use one of the escape ships under the mountains. They are already there, and this is just for emergency.” said Arsen 
“Okay I understand but what are you expecting,” said Blaze 
“Not sure, but something is really suspicious about our status position and this planet appearing at the same time. Also, the materials there are valuable now, but they can be valuable in the future as well, I just simply do not feel comfortable going here” 
The ships have arrived near the planet, Arkone, and are getting ready to land. The planet looks completely blue, with a little mix of white. The Arists will land at the most northernly place possible. Once they land, they find ruins of buildings that have already been there and they began exploring, they try and finish fast, since it is close to nighttime, and one of the main threats discovered was a giant blue dust storm that can burn through the human skin. They quickly discovered the ruins of buildings and gave a check to Arsen that the buildings would work fine against the storms at night.  
“The building is very rusty and the machines inside to mine the metal is old as well. Everything seems to work well but this cannot be sure before we put it to the test tomorrow,” said the major General 
“Okay then let's settle in the buildings and look around tomorrow for the metals.” 
The army that came with the Arteis will be sleeping in the ships and the Major General, The Family, and the main guards will be sleeping the buildings that they have prepared. Everyone is asleep. Luckly the storm that was expected was weak due to the machines that were put up to prevent It. Something else was coming, something huge, and powerful.  Around 6 massive spaceships were coming, silently, and slowly. Once they were close to the ground, a huge explosion happened, and then another.  They started to bomb the Artists ships.  Everyone was asleep wide awake at this point, and the army immediately started rushing towards the ships.  The Arteis had been attacked by an unknown organization.  The Army that the Arteis brought was trying to hold them off, when they were obviously outnumbered. This wasn’t war anymore, it was slaughter, after the army had been defeated. That specific unknown organization was trying to find the heads of the family, Arson, and Blaze.  Blaze did exactly what his father told him to do and ran to the small pod. He waited for the exact amount of time that was discussed, but Blaze’s father was nowhere to be seen. With tears filling his eyes, he jumped into the ship, and at full speed started to fly up and away. Inside the pod, Blaze just simply felt his father’s death. This made Blaze the head of their own organization, house, and he had 2 hours left of his trip until he reached his home planet, where his mother is. Blaze is in the need for help desperately. 
He reaches home, and his mother comes to him, both crying they hug each other.  They don’t have much time, before they are attacked again, since Blaze’s is still alive.  
“I know what happened is horrible, but we need to regain, and hide for a while, to plot a revenge. Noone will get away with attacking my husband,” said Blaze’s mother, Terra 
“You are right,” said Blaze wiping his face.  
“Okay you need to tell me everything you saw,” said Terra while they both walk into their building.  
Blaze talks about what they brought to the planet, the ships, and the dangers of that planet. Then he starts to describe the attack, talks about the bombing. He also tells his mother that they were massively outnumbered. 
“If you were outnumbered by a lot when you brought 16 ships, that can only mean 1 thing. They have teamed up with someone who granted them the army” 
Blaze stands up and says, “It was the czar.” 
“What makes you think that?” 
“Because I have never seen as big army as what attacked us, and they were wearing white uniforms, which aren't allowed for any organization” 
“If what you say is true then it was really the czar, it means he is against us and wants to destroy us,” 
“What should we do?” asked Blaze 
“It is time to activate our special emergency plan. Your father was a very thoughtful man, and he made alliances with other organizations, which helped their situation, all he asked in return was help when needed. This means that the organizations that he helped owe him one. If we call them together, we have a chance.  I feel like there will be war coming soon, and the only way to end it will be to fight it out.”  
“How will we signal to them that we need their help?” 
“We will send a encrypted message, which untraceable for them to unlock it, according to your fathers notes they know the password to open it!” said Terra as he got the message ready for delivery 
The message is delivered and around 16 hours later 45 massive ships appear in the sky. It was the backup that Arteis asked for and once they landed uncountable amounts of military men walked out.  
“That is unbelievable they actually showed up!” said Terra as she walked towards them to greet 
“They did indeed, now we have ways to protect ourselves, and avenge my father,” said Blaze 
Then Blaze and his mother went out and talked to the main generals about the situation that they are in, and explained what they are planning to do, also what they need help with. Out of the 16 organizations that showed up all of them accepted and proceeded to make plans for the attack. They had to figure out a way to get on the planet and a plan to wipe off the unknown organization on the planet. After they produced the plan, they had to act fast since, they only have a small amount of time before they will be attacked. Every single organization goes back into the ships they came and waited for to start. The remaining army of Arteis is coming as well. Now they have a massive army. 
“If we manage to recapture the planet, all the goods on it will be split up between all of us,” said Terra to the speaker. 
All the ships (around 48-50) begin to take off the Arties's planet, and are headed for Arkone, the planet in need of recapturing. Once they arrive, they throw big bombs onto carry ships (ships that were designed to house military and Carry goods). All Arteis ships land quickly, and the military men run out with laser guns and swords. After this moment it is a mess, the organization originally on the planet is panicking. The Arteis and the other houses that came with them are out of position since they have never fought before. After some time, the Panick settles down, and the Arteis are getting well into position. It is a proper war now and no one knows which way it will go. Bombs are hitting ships, and ships are falling on people fighting on the ground. It is a mess.  It has been almost 24 hours since the war started, and it is still going. Looks like it will never stop, but then the Arteis blows up the whole base of the Czar’s army. It looks like the Arteis was just holding the war while people planted dynamite in the grounds of the Czar’s army.  Now it is a one-way fight, the Czar’s army and its leftover people are running for their lives towards the spaceships, that are slowly being destroyed by the Arteis.   
“Let them escape,” said Terra on the speaker, so everyone hears eat. 
The left of the czar’s army quicky leave in smaller ships, and the arteis overtake the planet.  
“I can't believe it,” said Blaze getting out of his ship with Terra, “We won!” 
The fighters are chanting: “Arties, Arteis” 
After some time, everyone settles down, Terra and Blaze bury Arson say a few words towards him. In the meantime, A General from the other organizations comes up to Blaze and Terra 
“I have an announcement to make. With this battle won, me and the other houses have decided to request to join the Arteis and unify their armies, so they can become powerful” 
Terra replied, “I am shocked to hear that, and we accept your offer. Let us discuss details with the other Generals.”  
“Will do, see you inside” said the general 
With this unification the Arteis is now unbeatable due to their huge army alliance and have materials to never be needing any.
