Chapter 1: The Coup

They called me a traitor when I seized Geneva. What they didn't understand? The Vulpex Imperium doesn't negotiate with democracies.

I watched from the orbital platform as my drones disabled the world's nuclear arsenals. The last U.N. president spat at my boots.

"You've doomed us all!"

I activated the hologram. The Vulpex fleet approaching Pluto was visible now—thirty planet-killers strong. Their demand played on loop:

"SURRENDER YOUR SPECIES WITHIN 72 HOURS."

My response was simpler. I opened Earth's ancient defense protocols—the ones buried under Antarctica since the Bronze Age. The ground trembled as arcane machinery awoke.

"Mr. President," I said softly, "did you really think we evolved on this planet naturally?"

The first alien transmission changed tone abruptly:

"ANOMALY DETECTED. TERRA GENESIS PROTOCOL IDENTIFIED. ABORT MISSION. ABORT—"

The signal cut off as the sky turned crimson.
