Everyone gathered around the Landing Bay.

And the foxes of the TrainStar stood at attention as both SuperTrain and Alexander Fox stepped down from their own ship to greet the human who had entered the area.

The human was dressed very much like SuperTrain - same black suit and cloak, but with orange trimmings. And no hat either! He had hair that covered one eye, and looked every bit as sinister as SuperTrain, although everyone present knew that both of these characters were not "bad guys" in any way.

 

There were friendly greetings all around and even Lemu and Raiee were there, dressed in the same outfits that Lemy and Rascal had seen them in when they last met on earth.

SuperTrain then motioned for Lemy and Rascal to come out from behind their own craft where they had been quietly watching. All attention was then focused on the stripy pair and their companions.

 


Although they were glad to see Raiee and Lemu again, Lemy and Rascal were a little worried about this human standing before them.

Afterall, for as long as they could remember, humans were the hunters who would jump at the opportunity to capture them and sell them off to the zoo.

"Meet the leader of the TrainStar, you two," said SuperTrain introducing the human to them.

"This is Alexander - the human one." said ST.

 

"Wait a minute....I thought humans only wanted to catch animals for the zoos." said Lemy who made his thoughts known to the human.

"Well, not all humans are like that," said the human Alexander. "Of course, there are always people who are like those hunters that used to bother you and Rascal back on earth."

"You know about that??!" asked Rascal. "Nobody knows about that except us..."

"Yes....." said Alexander. "We've been watching you two for a long time."

"You have...wow!" said Lemy. "Err...why??"
 

"It's the main reason we built the TrainStar, and also why SuperTrain has been helping me all this while." responded Alexander.

You see, we realised long ago, that throughout the universe, there were beings - human and non-human, who would spend their time chasing and catching all kinds of animals around the galaxy."

"And...?" asked Lemy who was very interested in what the human Alexander had to say.

The human Alexander explained that inter-galactic zoos were always interested in buying strange and unusual animals from different planets. And that most of these animals were badly treated by the zoo owners.


So, by setting up his force of foxes and with the help of SuperTrain, they were able to stop a lot of animal kidnappings and that was their main mission. The TrainStar moved from one galaxy to another to stop the bad guys.

"Remember the first time we met?" asked SuperTrain.

"On the planet Martoc?" replied Rascal to the question.

"That's right," said SuperTrain. "That was the time we saved the two-tailed blue foxes from the evil Mr Weasel."

"You know..."said Alexander. "You two would be perfect crew additions to the TrainStar. We could always use your help in saving other animals."

Lemy and Rascal took all of 30 seconds to decide, and said a resounding "YES" to Alexander, SuperTrain and the crew of the TrainStar. With that, the TrainStar made preparations to head out into deep space and on to another galaxy where trouble was brewing.
