Neuville was on high alert and very worried about monsters coming and going like that.

What's more, he hadn't bought the fact that they were walking around with impunity, carrying atomic bombs in their saddlebags.

And the portal.

His team appealed to the IA, who had no answer.

He then alerted the Secretary General of the United Nations and French President Truk, a president of Algerian origin and attached to traditional values.

In his office, overlooking the huge tactical room with screens showing the different zones in Toulon and the earthquake zones.

He sat down, drank a cognac and lit a Havana.

and, after a sip and a few chuckles, he asked his Ai to put him in touch with President Truk.

After a few long minutes, a hologram appeared on the seat in front of him.

"ICI Truk!" he said, "I assume you're calling to warn me that there's a white dragon..."

Neuville: "My President???? You know?"

Truk: "The beautiful creature Sacha is sitting opposite me. She's a very beautiful alien and has retained all her knowledge and human skills."

Neuville: "Save yourself, President. they have powers and weapons.. they are very dangerous. Believe me!"

And Sacha's hologram appeared opposite Truk's hologram.

The dragoness gestured a greeting to the general, also a little to taunt him.

He got up and contacted the garrison and the President's bodyguard to warn them of imminent danger and that the President would no longer be free to act and think as he pleased...

But there was a void, an abnormal calm, as if everyone had fallen under a spell or a psychic or telepathic attack, but earthlings were helpless in the face of ancestral magic, amplified by draconic power and blessed by the god Destroyer.

Sacha alone had charmed the entire garrison. Her magical power was ten times greater than Alpha's, a bit like Superman under our sun. That's what it was all about, but... it was something else... The atoms of dragons and dragonified humans had unknowingly changed during the passage. They were linked to the goddess and each electron rotated with an amplified, almost indestructible bond.

Sacha could scrape through granite with his talons like a hot knife through butter, and even a bullet or uranium shell would crush like an egg on his scales.

The dragons, without knowing it, were becoming the lords of this world.

Resigned, Neuville listened to the conversation with the president.

Truk: "So, if I understand correctly, you escaped from Umbrella, but I don't understand why you gave them the portal..."

Sacha: "My president is a long story, but Alpha is a very different world from earth... I was very lucky in my misfortune. The lords have used Atlantean powers to wrest humans from their families in exchange for heinous sacrifices of the innocent.

All through competition and armed escalation between belligerent, middle-aged nations. Many heroes like me perished, and it was thanks to our sophisticated weapons that we were able to survive by killing our executioners.

Then Mir arrived and protected the only kind soul, a second-rate princess, Chlorophylle, now Empress. Poor Wyverne was afflicted with a curse that attracted the monsters and armies that were to decimate us, and he put the brakes on, reunited the empire and gave Alpha a semblance of peace. But... he's also Professor Brilliant, or what's left of him. "

After briefly explaining the situation, the president stood up and shook Sasha's hand.

"You're back in your country, Sergeant and Ambassador Goldberg (Sacha). Welcome to France."

Then they sat down again and the president asked where the crystal ship was.

"It's a flying castle modified to escape into space. and Currently, we deposit heroes torn from their lives. We have Zalar in Kabilia, me and Maxime here in Provence and others in Europe."

"Why didn't you land and we would have repatriated everyone?"

"Because of Umbrella. They would have been locked up in laboratories for who knows how long. Umbrella can't come here. His spies were pulverized, like Vidocq. Yet he had his free will, but it wasn't enough."

Truk: "We'll set up a temporary embassy in Provence and I'd like to meet your emperor.

Then Neuville made another urgent call, which exceeded the president's expectations.

Neuville had attended the Holo meeting and its recording delayed because of the events that were rushing by.

"The Umbrella fleet is coming through the portal, we're going to fire. I await your orders."

Sacha was still sitting and listening.

Then the president turned around, "Sacha, I'm counting on you not to interfere with our defense."

"My president, come and see the fireworks instead... Umbrella chased us, letting us go so we could open the way for them... but I assure you... they're already dead but they don't know it yet."

They went outside and it was already evening, the sky clear and the portal could be seen near Earth's orbit and the Colossus emerging from it.

Then, as soon as it emerged from the portal, it collapsed on itself in a spray of explosions, as if it had been crushed like a wad of tinfoil.

Then the portal collapsed in on itself, revealing a huge slit eye looking down on the earth.

And a terrible voice shattered the entire planet.

"This will be my first and last warning!" then the eye disappeared.

The creature could gobble up the earth like an egg...

Truk :" What was that?!!??"

Sacha: "The guardian, and goddess of darkness... let's say, she's the mother of all dragons and guardian of Brillant..."

The president swallowed his saliva, looking at the millions of shooting stars representing the debris of the armada re-entering the atmosphere.

"That monster let you through?"

Sacha: "Yes, but Mir had to... how shall I put this... pay a right of passage... Let's just say he's been a bit excited lately... and so has the Hydra..."

Truk: "How? Excited??"

Sacha: "Mir ... had some kind of libido problem... He's such a beast! and the whole wyvern tribe wasn't enough for him... He even wanted me, well, you know what I mean, my president."

"And how you became half a dragon, well I almost see a whole dragon.."

"Kroa...I owe him everything and he knows how to protect and love me and we have plans together.."

Truk: "Well, what plans?"

Sacha: "I've bought back my family property north of Cassis and we'd like to get married officially and do some extension work and also build a village in the pinewoods where our tribe could finally live in peace."

Truk: "Why don't you stay on Alpha?"

"Mir has had enough! He just wants the title for the Hydra to leave him alone, but governing isn't his thing. He's giving away his empire in exchange for recognition of his citizenship here on earth and his descendants. He can open the passage once, but he has other solutions".

Truk: "But it's terrible, the Hydra!!!"

"Enka, the destroyer of worlds... the space between the entrance and the exit of the wormhole, it's kind of her home. And if uninvited strangers come in and out with a draft... I think you can understand. "

Truk: "I'm just getting started, but..."

"Mir can create small, unobtrusive portals, but they lengthen the trip to 1 year. I think that's acceptable and the radio transmission almost instantaneous.."

Truk "And what does Brillant think?"

Sacha: "You'll see for yourself, but Mir isn't human! He doesn't eat them but...I think he's going to have quite a few offspring."
