Fyukiz woke up sweating from a dream. It was the same dream all over again. He finds himself in space with his best friend Ram as they surf on the energies of solar waves. It was the famous Telemontronictron effect from the television series Buzzskip & Doil; Fyukiz and Ram's idolized television super heroes.
'I guess watching a marathon of 30 hours of Buzzskip and Doil does something to you…' Fyukiz thought and went to wake up Ram. His head hurt badly and he couldn't put his mind to rest from images of some carousel ship coming closer to him at incredible speed, then someone watching at him through a windowpane with a stupid glare.
"Ram? Wake up dude! Did you have the same dream as mine again?" Fyukiz asked as he went into Ram's room. The bed was empty.
"Ram…? – Fyukiz asked surprisingly. Where the –" And then it stroke him. The dreams weren't dreams! It was real! He went back into his room and activated the dream recorder. Semi-transparent dates flashed before him and he picked the last set of dreams. Between the usual wet dreams and weird fantasies about Buzzskip and Doil he found the dream he was looking for. He sat and replayed the dream again.
"God dammit… - he cursed. – I left him in space again."

Ram stood in a strange and dark place. His body shivered and he could barely move.
"Fyukiz? Dude? Where are you? It's not funny…" His voice echoed through the endless corridors of this cold place. Strange and alien machinery emanated annoying humming voices and from a far he could hear someone speaking.
"Forget that encounter! We have a star to shutter!"
"Yessir!" Someone else announced. Ram; that was cursed with curiosity of a thousand cats found himself standing on the other side of a glassy door, in the shadows of a coffee-like machine. He couldn't resist the sudden urge to see who's been talking with whom and about what planet. Once he glanced into the room, it all came back to him. He passed through that windowpane with Fyukiz into the room where he found himself. Only Fyukiz was no place to be seen.
A tall and brown humanoid sat on a seat resembling a throne. Next to him sat a small alien. The tall humanoid was about to announce something and everybody in the room frozen; from fear or respect, he couldn't know.
"Gentlemen and Thaluuztans! – He declared. – We finished our jump with 80% of the usual jump casualties! We jumped into Earth (SOL) system, home of the notorious Humans! Rumors say that humans succeeded in preventing all invasions before we arrived. Now let us make history and Earth, another trophy for me…!" He finished, grinning evilly.
'Oh man… these aliens are going to destroy Earth, my home! I have to do something to prevent the invasion! And I need Fyukiz by my side. He'll know what to do…'

'How did it go? Close your eyes and breathe deeply… in and out, in and out… think happy thoughts about places you want to be… and you'll be there…'
'Sounds easy enough…' Fyukiz thought and pictured Ram in his mind's eye. He breathed in and out, deeply and slowly and suddenly everything became blurry…
The room turned blurry and began to twist, like in the series of Buzzskip and Doil. He could feel himself turn invisible as he faded from material plane and a moment later disappeared into mid-air with a little spark of light. Everything turned inside out and upside down as Fyukiz went higher and higher into space. He took a quick glimpse down to disappearing Earth as he passed near Luna, and there it was, that huge carousel-like ship floating in space near Luna's orbit. He felt the presence of the force of Ram drawing Fyukiz toward him. He saw countless of small ships being gathered near the ship, waving their carousel flag of approaching doom. Within these ships thousands of bored Thaluuztans waited impatiently to land on human colonies for a snack and a crack. It was an invasion…

"Here it is! – Gangas finished clicking on the board in front of him. www.invader-catalogue.tha.org/ - With this site we can be assured of total victory, sir!" Carton peeked on the screen. It was full of reading material in traditional Thaluuztan language.
"Hmrph... – He quickly discarded it – too much bullshit reading for me. I need action, not reading articles written by incapable losers who couldn't become what I have become, but still think they know something on star shuttering. Hmrph!"
"But Overlord! Sir! – Gangas clicked quickly on one of the links. – Look here! They have full details on all vital and strategic locations of human forces, details on their armed forces and their capabilities and even a poll, telling how much chance we have to shutter this planet! They even have a whole list of all historic records of attempts on invading Earth, recorded in full color; see; the Day the Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Men in Black, Mars Attack and others, and… - he glanced on the blue screen link – very detailed records of human anatomy. Not to mention preferred strategies for clear, total and utter destruction." He added.
"Not interested. – Carton replied. – It is going to be a traditional Thaluuztan way… - But planning strategies and conquering in the right manner is the Thaluuztan tradition…- Gangas interrupted but Carton's mind deepened still. - …my way…"
"Overlord, sir? – Carton turned his gaze on the officer. – The drop-ships are in position and are waiting for your command." Carton smiled with satisfaction.
"You see, Gangas. Reading information on the internet won't help you in real battle. When you are facing a star like this, you need to act on your inner instincts and my instincts are telling me that brutal and very bored Thaluuztan force will do the job perfectly."
"As you wish, Overlord, sir."
Impatiently, Carton grabbed the microphone and announced to all members and Thaluuztan fleet.
"Gentlemen and Thaluuztans! We finished our jump with only 80% of the usual jump casualties! We jumped into Earth (SOL) system, home of the notorious Humans! Rumors say that humans succeeded in preventing all invasions before we arrived. Now let us make history and Earth, another trophy for me…!"

Ram's body shivered from what he just heard. He closed his eyes and tried to think as hard as he could about all the things he loved and won't be able to see again. Next season of Buzzskip and Doil, girls, and all bunches of other things… and Fyukiz...
"Fyukiz, if you can hear me, you have to come here. Everyone needs your help dude… We all count on you now."
