BEING A HERO ISN'T EASY WHEN YOU'RE ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS!

Alex returns home with Ariel and Michelle, now members of his ever-growing family. While Gabrielle is ecstatic to learn that her sisters will be joining her, Kazekiri becomes even more conflicted.

While matters at home are coming to a boil, matters abroad have already reached the boiling point.

Karen Kanzaki has been temporarily suspended from the Mars Police Force, a terrorist attacks Alex and Nyx while they're out of the house, and a group of unknown alien assailants enacts a hostile takeover of Atreyu Academy.

It's too much of a coincidence that all these problems have cropped up at the same time. But who is causing them and for what purpose? Alex will have no choice but to find out the hard way, and he may not like what he discovers.
