Once the meeting was over, the crew left feeling frightened. The team did not want to defend themselves against the SCW’s. They were exhausted and feeling defeated over the last battle they had with the SCW’s Shadow barely made it safely out of the war on Planet X. They all knew the SCW’s were relentless in their quest to kill Shadow. Phoebe said to Shadow, “You know I love you and will protect you to the best of my effort, but I am afraid. I’m only three years old.” “I know Phoebe. I wish no one were in this position to protect me. It bothers me. People must put their lives in danger so that I live,” said Shadow. “We all know you are important to mankind and Catmoonians. We fight for your life willingly,” said Suzie. Peter said, “Shadow we will know what we must do. I, in fact, I give my life willingly so that you may live and give your gifts to the world.”

Peter was interrupted by an announcement over the intercom system:

“Please go to your PODS and study your defensive training. I need all of you to be prepared for battle at any moment. Shadow must live at all costs,” said Captain Cattitude.. “In the meantime, please try to get some rest. You will need it,” continued Captain Cattitude.
