The universes had been reunited some time ago. Immediatley afterward, Aldan, who still held a large deal of power in the realm of Rabbit Empire, informed the people of what had happened, about Teross, about the two universes. It was not until three days later that Seraph, Juiso, and Tymen returned to Carrottous. Ducky, Tyio, and BlackSheep had remained on Carrottous, since their new conciousness was based largely on their experiances before history was altered. They had informed the Empire that a new threat was comming. Since Aldan believed them, he was able to convince the Council and the clans, aswell as put to this new Alliance to force of his remade Ontranaught clan. Seraph was able to put her Konitar clan to the Alliance. Shortly therafter, Grnome pledged their complete allegiance to the Alliance, and the Hisect offered support, they were, however, unable to offer military support since their race had been brought to the brink of extinction during the war aginst Zygot. Soon, almost all of the races in the Southern Quadrant voluntarily joined, except the Blex, who were reluctant until the Clans threatened to withdraw their support if they would not join the Alliance, and the Barshaarden, who had a deep-running hatred aginst the Rabbits. Two months later, the Demons came from nowhere, seemingly appearing from HyperSpace, comming from the Core. The core is the most inhospitable place in the galaxy, as trillions of raging stars wage gravity wars that will obliterate most ships, searing radiation and heat, mounds of ravenous black holes that consume everything, and an immense snarl in the fabric of Hyperspace, preventing movement at faster than light speeds. They attacked with hideous force. Within a week they already had control of six systems adjuctant to the core. What was worse, as the now immense Alliance fleet moved to assault them, was that the weapons that the galaxy had been using for eons, High energy plasma blasters, Phase beams, Pulse rifles, explosive warheads and torpedos, and even nuclear detonators, had minimal effects on Demon personel and technology, while Demon anti-matter weapons, a technological feat no-one in the galaxy yet possesed, easily tore through Alliance vessels and soldiers, with immense destructive force. The fleet had to pull back, losing twenty systems in a month. Alliance scientists worked in overdrive to complete the thus-far experimental Tachyon weapons, and immediatley put them into service as part of a campaign to take back lost territory. Though more effective than traditional weaponry, the Tachyon weapons still proved ineffective, and highly expensive. By the next month, thirty more inhabited systems fell, and hundreds derilict ones, the Demons now had an immense foothold, controlling 20% of the Southern Quadrant, and 50% of the Western Quadrant. They had not made advances torward the Czm, who controlled all of the Eastern Quadrant, or the wild, uncharted lands of the Northern Quadrant. The Carrottous was three fourths complete when news of the war reached Carrotous, and was designed to be a large exploratory craft for the Ontranaught clan. When it did arrive, the ship was pushed haphazardly torward completion, and fitted with vast amounts of weapons, improved A-Space drive, shields, and hull, and equipped with three full fighter squadrons. It was designated as the flagship of the alliance fleet. It was done just in-time to be to late for the most recent offensive aginst the Demons, and one that was doomed to failure due to the ineffective and overly-relied on Tachyon weapons. And so, as the now battered Alliance fleet moved back into Alliance territory, the Carrottous provided the best chance for survival in the greatest war of all time.

The bridge of the Carrottous was disc shaped and modest, filled with the same blue, black, and grey colors that existed throughout the ship. It had various officers milling about, tending to control of the ship. Tyio stood above them on a ellivated platform, proudly staring into the swirling red madness of AlternateSpace. Tyio was the same as ever, wise, bold, suffering and selfless. Due to his Gerenpfpssh blood(as they were now accepted to be known)he looked exactly the same, fur still blood red, hair still inky black, and polished emeralds of eyes. If anything had changed in him since the first defeat of Teross, he was now humbler, knowing that his existance could be snuffed out in an instant. Behind him, the door opened with a hiss. Tyio turned around to see Tymen striding in.
"Is it 1900 hours already?" Tyio asked, knowing that Tymen was their to take command of the next shift.
"No, but I wasn't doing anything, so I thought I'd do nothing up here." Tyio smiled.
"Very well. Thanks, Tymen." Due to the change in the universe, Tyio knew Tymen, but the callousness he carried torward them early on was erased, so he had a wholly different relationship with them all. Tyio would often ponder the darastic consequences of temporal changes, but then realize they were far too complex for him to worry about.
After walking through the winding passagways of the ship, Tyio came to another door, and entered a keycode, afterwhich the door opened automatically.
"Tyio, you're early!" Ducky stated, rising from a chair and setting down a data-pad, and moving to embrace Tyio with open arms. All of her fur was a warm, friendly grey, and she had long, jet black hair, just like Tyio's, only longer. And her eyes were the same colors as his, emerald like. Tyio had known her for what had seemed like ages past. Finally, they stepped away.
"Yes, Tymen releaved me early." Ducky nodded,
"Just as well." The two of them sat down on an overplush couch in Ducky's quarters, snatched a bucket of popcorn, and flipped on the holo-viewer.
