He doesn't have the 'E' like Tech and Wile has? I don't know.

A good start to a promising story. Get the second chapter up soon.

So cassidy is a orfin to,like Duck?
And shes by the sounds of it comes from royal family!

Blackcat: Yep. The new baby was allergic.

AkiraCat: Nope. No 'E'. Cassidy's not related to Tech, so I made no 'E' names for her family.

zs: *gasps* YES I DID! AND YOU ARE TOTALLY GOING TO BRICK ME FOR THE NEXT FEW CHAPTERS! (whoops, cap lock. LOL)

Siamese: Yep, just like Duck, but she doesn't know that Duck is an orphan, too, though. *gives you a cookie* And by the sounds of it, you are the only person who realized the four letters in front of Cassidy's father's name! 
 

Spoiler

So, if Cassidy does come from a royal family, does that mean she and Tech can't be together? *is brick'd by zs*

 
Chapter 1: "So Many Questions, So Few Answers"

 Everyone was silent, stunned.

 "You're.... an orphan..?" Duck almost said 'too.' He blinked, not sure how to react.

 Cassidy nodded slowly.

 "Wait! I'm still confused! If Cassidy is an orphan, then how are you her father?" Lexi asked.

 "Do not worry, everything will be explained when you arrive on Sari. " The hologram dissappeared.

 Ace, Lexi, Rev, Tech, Duck and Slam all exchanged worried looks.

.BLUE TRIANGLE.

Cassidy's POV

 I've never completely admitted this before but.... I'm scared.

 The others are in the meeting room, talking with Zadavia. I wonder what they think of me now. They never knew about my secret, not even Tech. Tech and I always share our secrets, which makes me think, 'Does he trust me now?' I wouldn't be suprised if he didn't, and I wouldn't blame him.

 Now, another question comes to my mind, 'If this King Johnathan really is my father, then why did I grow up on Acmetropolis?'

 Silence is the only thing that I can hear, which invites many memories back. Memories I wish I couldn't remember.

"Mommy! Daddy! Watch me!"

"Great job, Cassidy!"

"Ya, Cassy!"

 They weren't my real family, and I knew that at the time. I just pretended that they were. I loved pretending.

 When I first became a Loonatic, I was hoping that this would help me forget my past. At times, it did, but now I can't even try.

 Something finally clicked in my mind. If King Johnathan is my father, then that means I'm a princess! No! This could change everything! The exact thing I tried to avoid with Tech at Acme West. I don't want anything to change, I don't want to be a princess. I want to stay here, in Acmetropolis, with my friends.

 But, do they want me to stay?

.GREEN TRIANGLE.

Normal POV

 Zadavia listened intently as Ace explained the situation. "So.. by the sounds of it, one of our teammates is a princess."

 Zadavia nodded slowly. "I see.. Did Cassidy tell any of you about her being an orphan?"

 Everyone shook their heads. Tech was confused. 'I can understand her not telling the others, but why not me? We always share our secrets.'

 Duck frowned. "I have a feeling that this 'princess' is not telling us something."

 Tech glared at Duck. "Cassidy would never lie to us."

 "I do not like to raise suspicion, but Duck may have a point." Zadavia noted.

 Tech shook his head. "Never. I know her better than anyone, and I know she would never hid anything from us."

 "Just like she didn't hide the fact that she was an orphan." Duck said scarcastically, and recieved another death look from Tech.

 Zadavia's face softened. "Tech, I know you and Cassidy have a history, but none of us can be sure if she is telling the complete truth."

 Lexi's eyebrows raised. "History? Maybe you'd better expand on that statement, Tech."

 Tech sighed softly. "It's true, Cassidy and I knew each other before we were Loonatics. In fact, before the meteor. We met at Acme Park, during wintertime, at one of Cassidy's skating competitions."

 "Skating competition?" Duck snorted disbelievingly. "That doesn't seem like your scene, Tech."

 "It wasn't. A few of my friends from Acme Tech Institute dragged me with them."

(Begin Flashback)

 "Did you guys have to drag me here?" A dark brown coyote anthro asked his two friends.

"Yes, Tech. You need to get out one in a while."

"So, where are we going?" Tech inquired.

"Acme Park." They replied, and continued to fight their way through the thick snow that covered the ground.

Tech pulled his thick winter jacket tighter around him as he followed his friends.

A few minutes later, they reached their destination. There was two large outdoor skating rinks set up, and there was a large competition being held there. "Come on, let's go watch." Tech's two friends suggested, dragging their canine freind to the least crowded rink, that was being used for warming up.

Tech glanced around in disintrest, until his eyes found a certain girl. She was a coyote anthro, with mahogany-brown fur, chestnut brown eyes, and fire-red hair. He stared in amazment as she jumped into the air and spun, landing without a flaw.

One of his friends waved his hand in front of Tech's face. "Hello? Earth paging Tech E. Coyote?"

Tech batted his hand away. "Cut it out, Johnathan."

Johnathan winked and nudged his other friend. "Tech's got himself a crush." He said in a sing-song way. The other chuckled.

Tech looked insulted.

"Hey, Charles, Tech, she's coming." John pointed at her.

"Hey Tech, you should go talk to her." Charles suggested.

"No way. She's a professional athlete. Why would she want to talk to a computer geek like me?"

When the girl was right in front of them, John and Charles shoved Tech forward and right into the girl's path. The two coyotes crashed into eachother.

"Oh my! I'm so sorry." Tech apologized, scrambling to his feet.

"That's okay." She replied, picking herself up out of the snow.

Tech just stared at her for a moment. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Uh, hi. I'm Tech."

She smiled at him. "I'm Cassidy. Do you go to Acme Tech?"

"Yeah."

"Me, too. I think I've seen you before."

Now that Tech thought about it, she did look familiar. "Yeah, maybe."

(End Flashback)

 "Either way, you must be very careful. We cannot afford to start a war between Acmetropolis and Sari. Good luck. Zadavia out."

 Tech was the first one to leave. 'I have to find Cassidy.' When he entered the main room, he found Cassidy sitting on the couch, hugging her knees. "Are you okay, Cass?"

 Cassidy quickly stood up, blushing, embarrassed at having been found in that position.

 Tech stood in front of her and set his hand on her shoulder. His eyes asked the question again.

 "Honestly, Tech, I.. I'm not sure." Cassidy stammered.

 Tech gave her shoulders a small squeeze and the pair followed the others to get ready for the mission.

(end Chapter)

Yes, it is true! Tech and Cassidy knew each other from years back!

And, Tech's getting defensive of Cassidy. Could that be a sign? *is brick'd*

I read that ice skating scene fromfanfiction somewhere... I know it........

Yep, that's one of mine that I'm working on. Just, not as much as the ones in my fanseason. "A Walk Down Memory Lane"

Thanks for the comments!

Akira: Thanks muchly! *hugs*

TEASER TIME!
--------------------------------------------------------- 
"So, Tech, anything to report?" Ace asked the scientist who was busy at the computer of the spaceship that all the Loonatics were on.

 "We should have a smooth ride from here to Sari." Tech annunced. "And the hyper-sonic jet boosters that Zadavia gave us should get us to our destination very shortly."

 Ace nodded. He spoke quieter now, so that Cassidy couldn't hear. "What about Aurora over there?" He did not like having to pry into other's secrets, but in this situation, he had to.

 "It's strange, though, I never bothered to check until now, but there is literally nothing on her." Tech honestly didn't feel right doing this, but he had no choice.

 "Not even from the orphanage?"

 "Only a small file saying that she was put into the foster program when she turned five years. And she's had many foster families. She never stayed more than a few months at each family. They have reasons for having to send her back, but most of them are unbelievable."
 
 "So, she's been kicked around for all that time?"

 "Just about. The file stops at age thirteen. My guess is that she ran away."

 "But no birth certificate?"

 Tech shook his head. "No. No birth certificate. No nothing about her even being born. It's like she came.. well, literally, out of nowhere."

 "No wonder she was so shy and seemed so scared of everything when Zadavia first recruited her to the team. But, she wasn't scared of us...." Ace began.

 "She was scared of making friends and then being sent away again. With all the different families she had, it just became a way of life for her." Tech continued.

 Ace glanced over at Cassidy. She had not said a word since they had left Acmetropolis. "She got over it, but now she's back at Square One." Ace shook his head. "Poor girl. Went from orphan to Princess Aurora in five seconds flat. Never had a chance to get it straight in her mind."
----------------------------------------------------------

This sounds exciting. I'm just bursting from all this suspense. Continue the story please .

Sorry for the double-post, but I wanted to do this, but I couldn't find a spot in the story where this song could fit. So, I'm doing it now as a kinda-special treat. (I'm sure zs will love, cause she likes HSM and Tech/Cassidy) So, if you don't like HSM, I suggest you not read any farther.

*"Gotta Go My Own Way" from High School Musical starts*

Cassidy:
Tech....listen.....

I gotta say what's on my mind
Something about us doesn't seem right
These days
Life keeps getting in the way
Whenever we try, somehow the plan
Is always rearranged
It's so hard to say
But I gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay

I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way

Tech:
What about us?
What about everything we've been through?
What about trust? (I thought you trusted me, Cass.)

Cassidy:
(Oh, Tech,) You know I never wanted to hurt you

Tech:
And what about me?

Cassidy:
What am I supposed to do? (I'm confused.)
I gotta leave but I'll miss you

Tech:
I'll miss you, too, Cassidy

Cassidy:
So I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now

Tech:
I want you to stay

Cassidy:
I gotta go my own way (But, I want to stay with you)

I've got to move on and be who I am

Tech:
Why do you have to go?

Cassidy:
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand

Tech:
I'm trying to understand

Cassidy:
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now
I've gotta go my own way
I've gotta go my own way
I've gotta go my own way

Stupid New Hampshire trip. *glares*
Never mind,
Stupid fact that I don't have cable. *glares*
AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO KISS!!!!!! WTF, MAN?!?!?!?!?!?
Sorry. Going a lil' over the top.

Akira: LOL! Sorry, but, like zs, I LOVE HSM! In fact, I got the idea for "Double Trouble" while listening to "Work This Out"  *continues to listen to "Work This Out" and "Gotta Go My Own Way"* *is brick'd*

Stargirl: Thank you! *hugs*

zs: *falls out of chair laughing* LOL! You want Tech and Cassidy to kiss? Well, hang on until the end of this story and then you'll be happy.
Tech and Cassidy: WHAT?!!!!
Me: Nothing... *runs away*
Rev, Lexi, and zs: *giggle uncontrolably*

when are you gonna update I love this story and hsm they
both rock.

Another great chapter but...
Hmmm, I have a sneaky suspicion that the measurements are for more than just dress sizes.....
This kind of reminds me of that Teen Titans epsiode where Starfire went back to her home planet and was went to get married and Robin was all upset and junk.
*is mauled for mentioning Teen Titans on an LU board*

OMG! Oooo is Tech jealous! Keep up the great work.I sooo love this story!

*Faints*

Ace: Oh Boy!

New family! siblings! New home!
And no they want to marri her off!
There CRAZY!!!

Cassidy should NOT I repet NOT be forsed into there rouls.
She wsin't rased that way, she has a free sperit!

Sorry for ramblin.
Good story!

Stargirl and Kari: Yes, that prince better watch out, cause he's got a jealous and ticked-off super genius on his hands now! LOL

Siamese: Exactly! But, will she be able to make her father see that?

I used the song "My Hero Is You" by Hayden Pannettier cause I think it matches Tech and Cassidy perfectly. Tech is always there, saving her life and supporting her. And thus, Tech would be Cassidy's 'hero.'

Chapter 4 :"My Hero Is You"

You know I try to be
All that I can

 The color literally seemed to drain from Cassidy's face. "Me?"

 "Yes, of course it is you. As a princess, you must become married to a prince. It's tradition."

But there's a part of me
I still don't understand

 Cassidy's legs began to wobble. Tech stood right behind her to keep her from completely fall over. Cassidy tried to steady herself. "But, you said that I was the youngest. I thought it would be the oldest."

Your faith has shown me that

 "No. On Sari, we do a few things differently. For example, the youngest child is heir to the throne. And that would be you, Aurora." 

 Cassidy swallowed. "But, father..... I don't want to get married to someone who I don't even know!"

When my world goes crazy
You won't let go

 "Of course you'll know him. Once you meet him." As if on cue, a tall, dark-colored male coyote stepped into view.

 He bowed in front of Cassidy, gently holding her hand. "It is an honor to meet you finally, Princess Aurora."

When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope

 Tech watched him warily. He had this sudden urge to step inbetween them, but his mind thought otherwise. 'Are you crazy? You could start a huge war between Sari and Acmetropolis. Besides, maybe Cassidy does like him. You want her to be happy, right?' And so, he stepped back a little.

When I try to push you away
You never move

 But, Cassidy did not like the prince, and she wanted Tech to stay beside her. As the prince softly kissed her hand, Cassidy glanced back at Tech with a helpless look. 'Oh, Tech, please, do something!'

 "Aurora, I would like you to meet Prince Edward." King John looked happy.

When I start doubting
You help me see

 But Cassidy thought otherwise. 'I don't care if I know him or that my father thinks he's good for me, I don't want this.'

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

 All of the Loonatics looked around for the origin of the noise. "What was that?" They all said.

There's a strength and a life and a power in me
You believe that there ain't nothing I can't do
My hero is you

 King John and Maria looked worried. "Our defense systems. the Starzians are attacking."

 "Have no fear, lovely one, for I will protect you!" Prince Edward put his arm around Cassidy's waist, pulling her close. 

 Tech's jaw nearly fell open when he say that. 'How dare he!' Tech closed his eyes and looked away to keep himself from rushing to Cassidy's defence.

I never saw the way
You sacrificed

 At first, Cassidy looked terrified, but her gaze turned to defiant as she tossed her head and pulled away from him.

 "We can deal with 'em!" Ace suggested, having not seen the scene between Cassidy and Prince Edward.

Or knew the price you payed
How can I make it right

 "Are you sure you want to?"

 "It's what we do, right guys?"

 Lexi, Tech, Rev, Slam, and Cassidy all shouted "Yes!" in unsion.

I know I've gotta try

 But, Duck had another opinion. "Well, if they're just coming to crash a wedding party, why don't we give them what they want?"

 Ace thought for a moment. "That's a great idea!" 

 Everyone blinked. "It is?"

 "Yeah, if you continue with the wedding plans, and we hide until the Stazians come.."

When my world goes crazy
You won't let go

 "But," Lexi cut in, "We could be putting their lives in danger."

 "True, but I'm not finished. Now, instead of the groom being Prince Edward, it will be on of us, in disguise, for protection."

 All eyes flew to Tech. Tech had a half-confused, half-terrified look on his face.

When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope

 Lexi, Rev, Slam, Ace, and Duck exchanged knowing looks. Ace smirked. "So, Tech, how many disguises does that belt of yours have?"

.YELLOW TRIANGLE.
 
 Unfortunately, the Sarians had different way of dressing for weddings, so Tech and Cassidy could not use the Transformo-belts. Instead, King John and Maira helped them put on the Sarian traditional wear.

When I try to push you away
You never move

 Tech pulled nervously at the tie that was a little too tight around his neck. 'OK, Tech, remember, you have to protect Cassidy, her father and her sister. Don't screw it up.'

 Prince Edward stepped in front of Tech and whispered to him. "You'd better not let anything happen to my girl."

 Tech glared at him. Not only did he fake being nice to Cassidy, he did it horribly. Now, he was being rude to Tech and the way he said those words, 'my girl,' was like driving fingernails down a chalkboard to Tech.

When I start doubting
You help me see

 Tech's thoughts of strangling Prince Edward were cut off when Lexi and Maria walked in, leading Cassidy. Tech's eyes widened. Cassidy was now wearing a shimmering , beautiful, light blue dress. Suddenly, she tipped forward. Maria and Lexi steadied her. "OK, this is the last time I'm ever wearing high-heel shoes! I'm going to end up breaking my ankle."

 "You look absolutely beautiful, Aurora." Prince Edward commented, his voice suddenly changing from threatening to sickly - sweet.

There's a strength and a life and a power in me
You believe that there ain't nothing I can't do

 Tech felt a small flicker of hope light up when Cassidy didn't reply and looked away from him.

 "All right, let's get into position." Ace ordered.

 Lexi, Duck, Rev and Slam all quickly rushed to their posts, out of sight, while Ace showed Prince Edward where to hide for the time being.

 Cassidy and Tech glanced at each other nervously, hardly saying a word.

My hero is you
 
 "Aww, come on you twos, act the part!" Ace spoke into his communicator. "Not even Duck would fall for that!"
 
 "Yeah, I... hey!"

 Tech stepped up to Cassidy. He hesitated before slowly slipping his hand into hers. Cassidy tried to hide her smile. Having Tech holding her hand made her feel safe. She loved the feeling of it.

 Tech gave her a ackward smile. 'Get your head in the game, Tech. No time for drooling over Cassidy. Besides, she's already taken. You two could never be together, now. It's too late.' His heart fell as he realized that his mind was true.

I hope that you can see
You're everything that I want and need

 A few minutes later, there was a loud, crashing noise. Cassidy jumped and her, Tech, King John and Maria turned around to see several armored coyote anthros standing a few feet away. A certain one, with a large cloak covering his head, so that his face could not be seen, stepped forward and pointed at Cassidy.

 The others charged forward at her. "Tech, take Cassidy and run, make sure she's safe. Rest of yas, charge!" Ace ordered. Lexi, Rev, Duck, Slam and Ace appeared from their hiding spots and began taking the Starzians down.

 Meanwhile, Tech grabbed Cassidy's hand tighter and the pair ran. Tech glanced up and a plan formed in his head. "Cass, grab onto me!" Tech pulled out his grapple gun from his back pack. 

When my world goes crazy
You won't let go

 Cassidy wrapped her arms around Tech's neck and hung on tight. Tech fired the gun at a ceiling rafter and it pulled them up to it. 

 When Cassidy stood up, she felt an arm grab her around her throat and a hand clasp over her mouth.
 
When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope

 "Cassidy!" Tech gasped. He gritted his teeth and charged at Cassidy's attacker. The Starzian soldier hung her over the edge of the rafter for a few seconds before dropping her. Cassidy grabbed the edge, dangling several hundred feet in the air. 

When I try to push you away
You never move

 The soldier left Cassidy alone for a second, to deal with Tech. When Tech jumped into the air to kick him, he grabbed Tech's foot with lightning speed and tossed him off the edge.

When I start doubting
You help me see

 "Tech!" Cassidy shouted, reaching out to grab his hand.

 "Cass! Let go!" 
 
There's a strength and a life and a power in me
You believe that there ain't nothing I can't do

 Thinking that he wanted her to let go of his hand, Cassidy refused.

 "Cassidy, let go of the edge! NOW!" 

 Cassidy looked up and, to her horror, saw the Starzian soldier pointing his
sword at her.

My hero is you

(end Chapter)

...You have no idea how tense I was reading this entire chapter.
What's the song? Did you write it?

Love it, love it, love it! Your a really good writer Cassidy!

Any idea when the next chapter will be up?

Tecidy?
Never heard that one before. XD We've got Tecidy and Tecasidy...

I admit it, fight scenes are my weakness!

Chapter 5: "Do It Your Own Way"

 Cassidy let go of the edge, and she and Tech began to fall to the ground. Tech wrapped his arms around her waist and quickly activated his jetpack. The pair landed safely on the ground.

 Tech's eyes widened. "Cassidy, when I say 'run', you run." He whispered to her.

 "But, Tech..."

 "Don't argue, just do it!"

 Several Starzian soldiers stepped in front of them, swords ready. Then, they charged.

 "Run, Cass!" Tech shouted, pushing her away.

 Cassidy ran a little ways away, but stopped, almost dreading to see what happened.

 Tech's eyes and hands glowed green, attracting the swords. He easily bent them all out of shape.

 One of the soldiers, moving at lighting speed, zoomed around Tech. Before Tech knew it, he was tied up tightly. The same soldier zoomed around the room, quickly tying up each Loonatic, along with Maria and King John. Rev was a little fast for him, and the two chased each other for several minutes before the soldier finally cut off Rev, sending him flying.

 The soldier then returned to the Starzian cheif, the one with the large cloak over his head. "Which one shall we eliminate first?" The guy talked as fast as Rev!

 The cheif just pointed at Tech. Cassidy's heart fell. 'No!'

 Cassidy glanced at Ace, Lexi, Rev, Duck, and Slam, who were watching with sad eyes. 'They've lost hope, in both the mission and me. No, I can't let this happen. I've got to save Tech. I've got to prove that I can be just like the others, and not some highly protected princess with no self-defense.'

 Cassidy began pulling against the strong hold of the Starzian soldier, who just grabbed her roughly and smacked her.

 She was slightly discouraged, until she heard a voice in her head saying, 'Don't give up, Cassidy! Trust your instincts! Follow your heart! But, you can't prove that you can be like everyone else. Why? Cause everyone's gotta do it their own way.'

 'Yeah, I can do this! But, I've got to do it my way!' Cassidy began to squirm almost uncontrollably. The soldier put his hand on Cassidy's shoulder tightly to try and discourage her, but to no avail.

 'Perfect!' Cassidy closed her eyes and her whole body glowed with bright blue flames, melting the ropes. He gave a yelp of pain and let go of Cassidy. Cassidy spun around and punched him in the face.

 Ace smiled, feeling proud of her. He remembered teaching her how to do that. 'That's it, Cassidy! Do it your own way!'

(Begin Flashback)

 "So, Ace, how did Cassidy's training lesson go?" Zadavia asked.

 "Good. A little slower than I thought it would, though..."

 "How come?"

 "Well, she has a confindence problem, that is, she doesn't have a lot of it."

 "I knew it!" Duck blurted out. "I knew she couldn't be like us! I knew she wouldn't make it!"

 Unknown to the others, Cassidy was just around the corner, and had stopped when she heard Duck. Her heart fell, until she heard Tech speak up.

 "Can it, Duck! She's just a little shy, but she tries honestly and is willing to try a hard as she can!"

 "I agree, Tech." Ace said. "She's tryin', and she is improving steadily, too."

 'Ace, Tech, Lexi, Zadavia, I promise you all I will try even harder next time and all other times until I get it right. I won't let you down.' Cassidy silently purposed in her heart. 'I promise.'

(End Flashback)

 Cassidy ran towards Tech, but was cut off by one of the soldiers charging at her. Cassidy jumped up as high as she could up and over the soldier, landing not-so-gracefully on the other side. She tripped and tumbled right to Tech's feet. 'Well, that was lucky!'

 The soldier who had grabbed hold of Tech tried to reach around and grab Cassidy, but she was a little too quick for him. She ducked and shape-shifted under Tech's and the soldier's feet. Now behind the soldier, she activated her fire powers right under his tail. 'Let's heat things up, shall we?'

 The soldier gave a yelp of pain and ran away, leaving Tech and Cassidy alone. Tech smirked. "Did we suddenly switch places?"

 "No comments from the peanut gallery, please, or I may be forced to leave you here." Cassidy joked.

 Meanwhile, the others were busy setting themselves free. Ace looked down and fired a laser carefully through the ropes holding him.

 Lexi carefully aimed and fired a brain blast at hers, turning it to dust. Duck easily quacked himself out of the ropes around him, landing beside Rev. Duck grabbed Rev's foot and quacked him out, too. Slam spun around until the ropes disinegrated.

 Now, the next suprise came when King John's eyes glowed a silver colour, and the ropes around him were covered in ice. They snapped off easily. Then, Maria's eyes glowed a peach colour, and the ropes seemingly untied themselves!

 Now with the Loonatics, Maria, and King John free, the Starzians seemed to think that it was time to retreat, and so they did, climbing out of windows and the hole they made in the roof.

 All except one, the Starzian cheif. He was soon surrounded by the Loonatics. Ace charged him, grabbing him roughly by the shoulders. "Now, let's see who's hiding under here." Ace reached up to grab the cloak covering his face, but he shoved Ace away. Then his hands formed a large, black ball of swirling energy and threw it at Cassidy.

 "Cassidy! Look out!" Tech shouted, running to her. He grabbed Cassidy and jumped out of the way of the black ball, which exploded right where their feet were. The blast sent the two tumbling across the room. When they stooped, Tech was on top of Cassidy, and their noses touched.

 Cassidy blushed. "Thanks, Tech."

 Tech smiled at her. "You're welcome."

 The starzian cheif gave a small growl before pulling his cape around him and disappearing.

(end Chapter)

So, does anyone have any guesses as to who the Starzian cheif is?
