[Thread PL: 279,601 | Emperor's Might (x20P) Active! Current PL: 5,592,020!] This thread is Death Enabled! If you join, there's a very real chance of death!
The dark sky of Arcose is calm. The denizens below, while worried for their Beppan brothers, are enjoying calm lives. Some civilians are out window-shopping, while a few determined souls spend their time bartering with the hardened shop-keeps of the Arcosian Capital Sector. A sight as calm as this would make one think that there was no war being waged across space, but alas, this was but a momentary taste of peace. Soldiers of Arcose stand tall and proud at the Palace gates, their eyes scanning the land for potential threats. Things had been under high-tension since Beppa was wrestled from them, but even so, they would keep the peace as best they could. The higher-ups in the Arcosian military seemed to be planning something, but these lowly grunts were left completely in the dark. Suddenly, the calmness is broken. From above, the clouds part, and in their wake is a massive spaceship in the shape of... a Namekian fist! It tears through the sky with immense speed, aiming straight for the Palace Courtyard. Scouters list the ship as an ally, but with the speed at which it came in, there were doubts. The fist slammed into the courtyard, tearing through stone and dirt, causing debris to fly as it landed knuckles-first in the courtyard. Two long metallic spikes shot out of the armored plating on the forearm of the spaceship, seemingly to keep the ship embedded in the ground. There was a moment of silence as the ship settled in its landing zone. Arcosian soldiers and civilians circled it, their eyes wide with curiosity. It was clear now who this belonged to: it was the Warship of Lord Xylo! He'd shown himself here not long ago, offering an alliance. Why was he back now? Was it to provide support, or perhaps something more violent? The large spikes on the forearm split open, turning themselves into ramps which led out of the ship. Dozens of soldiers of all races began to march out of these ramps; some Brenchian, others Kabochan, a few Saiyans, but the bulk of the force was clearly Namekian. Once the forces funneled out into the yard, they'd part their crowd in the middle, allowing their leader to exit without issue. With a loud -BANG!- A large object was thrust out of the ship. It sped past the army, landing at the foot of the large staircase leading to the Palace doors, and embedding itself in the dirt upon impact. At first glance, the object looked like an ordinary boulder or perhaps an overgrown tree seed, but upon closer inspection, one would soon realize it was something much darker. The ball was brown and fleshy, covered with veins of all sizes and lengths. Every so often it'd pulsate in an unsettling way, almost as if it were reacting to the cold winds. Soon after, a figure would step out of the ship. The tall Namekian was shadowed by the light inside the ship, his features all but indiscernible, save for the signature fin protruding from the top of his head. He stepped out of the shadows, his face carrying its signature scowl as he stepped onto Arcosian soil. The Mazoku Lord walked towards the ball he'd thrown moments before, stopping at its side. It pulsated again, this time in a somehow joyous way. It seemed happy to see Xylo. The Mazoku Lord brought two fingers up to his neck, pouring Ki into his vocal cords to amplify his words. "Koldar! How can we expect to take down the Solar Empire when you can't keep one of your core worlds safe? I think it's time for a change in management, and I'm not talking about a new cowardly Emperor."He let his words hang in the air for all to hear. The crowd around them was unsure of how to respond-- whispers and murmurs flew around in a flurry. The general consensus was leaning towards "this could get bad". "I, Xylo, Son of Tuner and Lord of Namek, lay claim to the Arcosian Empire. You will be under my command until you prove yourselves worthy. If you wish to challenge my claim, then I invite you to try."Arcosian soldiers funneled out of the Palace, getting into formation on the grand staircase. They were primed and ready to strike, but they awaited orders from a commanding officer. If one didn't show up soon, then they'd have no choice but to attack. Xylo cracked his knuckles in anticipation; in a way, he wanted resistance. It'd be a good way to get his own soldiers blood pumping for the upcoming battle on Beppa.
Xylo has come to Arcose with conquest in mind! His goal is to annex Arcose into the Mazoku Dominion. If no opposition shows itself in 72 hours, Xylo will simply fight an NPC battallion and successfully take over Arcose.

Post by Koldar Frost on May 3, 2017 2:22:07 GMT
(Thread PL: 76,254) Alerts had been given, Xylo's ship had been coming down to the planet of Arcose. The commander, Koldar, who had decided to make a announcement to the Empire within the next few days, had been getting his ship prepared for when the time came for Xylo's attack upon Kabocha. He'd been anticipating the Namekian warlord to coming over to the planet, and unfortunately, Koldar was going to admit to not being able to prepare for the attack on Beppa the SSE committed. Koldar would fly out from his ship to the booming Namekian, alone, as he made an open claim upon Arcose, stating that until they could prove themselves, they would be under his command until that time! Against the SSE, the Namekian proved himself and he had claimed war against his people's most hated foe. To Koldar, this claim, while unexpected and admittedly insulting, bore more weight to the fact that Arcose needed a crutch, a support from elsewhere since the Earth effectively chose to not help them many months before! Xylo had made his way over to the palace, with his own soldiers swarming the palace. Koldar was coming from behind them, and he dared to not hide his presence. He called out, "I couldn't agree more, Xylo! Without any leadership, or knowledge of what I had to work with, we lost a world to the bastards of the SSE!"He landed upon the grand staircase, in sight of the soldiers and Xylo. "I'd planned to make this announcement about a day or so ago, but since you are here, wishing to annex the Arcosian Empire under your Mazoku Dominion, I'll be making it now," Koldar spoke aloud, giving the crowds outside the palace, Xylo, and his soldiers a salute. "I, Commander Koldar Frost, Captain of the Frostar and one of its longest standing soldiers for the past century, lay claim to the throne of the Arcosian Empire as Supreme Commander, instead of Emperor, and shall be honoring the annexation into the Mazoku Dominion until we may stand upon our feet once more, and form an Alliance of brotherhood with said Dominion! Lord Xylo, do you approve of this claim and permit us of the Arcosian Empire to grow under your command?"( Lord Xylo , sound good?  ) (Koldar is now making the claim for Emperor of the Arcosian Empire, changing the name to Supreme Commander from Emperor. Who challenges?!) |

Post by Taiga on May 3, 2017 3:17:58 GMT
Taiga stood, appraising the several hundred or so soldiers that had gathered for his inspection. The most prominent presence was, of course, Arcosians. But the force entailed many beings from many races. Suddenly, there is a commotion, and a growing sound of surprised yelling. His scouter bleeps as reports rage to him, detailing the arrival of a massive starship. But he didn't need them; the vessel roars straight over him and his troops.
Taiga's eyes widen, his mind flashing back to the first attack on Arcose, and his desperate battle on Kanassa. Gritting his teeth, Taiga rockets off the ground, following the vessel as fast as his body could take him. He sees a second ship of some sort detach from the main ship, and land on the ground below. He adjusts course, and flies fast towards the landing point. Evidently, Koldar was also quick to respond, as his fellow Commander reaches the ship first. Taiga hears a familiar voice, making his brow furrow as he approaches. At last, Taiga lands a few meters behind Koldar as he makes his own claim.
The Arcosian soldier looks past Koldar, and sees something he had not expected. The Namekian he'd encountered in Hell!
"Commander Koldar, you are too quick to accept being made into a vassal." Taiga growls, walking up to and past his peer. He continues towards Xylo, stopping only a meter from the large being. Taiga is dwarfed by the Namekian, but he doesn't show fear, despite feeling the rapid pounding in his chest. "You... I know you."
The memory of being wholesale slaughtered by the Saiyans is still fresh in Taiga's mind, and now another force had smelled blood, and come to prey on them.
"We hear your demand, but I, Taiga of the Lower Clans, stand to oppose your strong-arming." Taiga announces. "Allow me to prove that we are not the weaklings you see us to be. Should you defeat me, I will serve. But I do not bow to just anyone."
Taiga's hands ball into fists, and an intense crimson aura wraps around the Arcosian.
"Allow me to present you with Arcosian pride!" Taiga hollers, the ki now swirling around him, his strength and power rising rapidly. Taiga disappears in a blinding light - but once the light fades, Taiga stands, transformed directly into his true form. Electricity dances across his skin, jolting out with the swirling crimson ki. "You wish to claim the Arcosian Empire? Then show me why you believe you can lead us."
Taiga chooses to resist, asking Xylo to show him why they should kneel to his demand for dominance! (Not my smartest move, but I like to be dramatic.) Taiga has assumed his True Form! Thread PL: 548,740

Post by Tomoka on May 3, 2017 3:28:55 GMT
Only a few blocks away, commotion was beginning to brew. The citizens had seen the ship fly down from the sky, and had heard the loud boom that came with it, which they could only assume had ended in the smashing to the ground of the ship. They had begun chattering near one another worryingly, not completely sure of what was going on. Was it a Saiyan attack? Had they arrived on a massive ship to strike yet another killing blow against the Arcosians' empire? They weren't sure, but soon, a large panic was forming. Than... what was this? They saw something... another ship, smaller... burning in the skies. They began to yell and scream, as they saw the ship heading closer and closer in their direction. The ship was smoking, and the outside was burning.
He had been awoken by the sound of sirens in the pod, and as he looked out the window, he could see that he was descending to the planet's surface incredibly fast. What was going on? He suddenly looked at the computer, with a single blaring message on screen: CRITICAL FAILURE, SHIELDS DAMAGED, PREPARE FOR IMPACT. Tomoka suddenly realized what had happened: the heat shields had malfunctioned, and the pod was now shooting towards the planet like a bullet. This was bad. Really bad. He began to look around, looking to see if anything still worked to slow down the landing. Finding none, he cursed. "Alright, think Tomoka... emergency jettison! There has to be one of those!" He thought, before looking around. Still finding no buttons, he looked at the seat. Any straps? Instructions? "Come on, come on, COME ON!" He shouted, seeing out the window that he could now see tiny cities that were growing in size VERY fast. He could see Xylo's massive ship had already managed to punch itself right next to the biggest near bye building, which he assumed was the palace, and while he was glad the plan had gone well for Xylo, it was going terribly wrong for him.
"FUCK! Why did I have to take one of these pieces of shit?! Why couldn't I just got on Xylo's ship?! Why the fuck am I such a moron?!" Tomoka shouted at himself in the pod, before he slammed his head against the door. Than, through the despair, an idea emerged. An idea so crazy, that it just might work. He sat back in his seat, looking out the window of the very large city below him. He closed his eyes. "This may hurt... but you'll still be alive." Tomoka would state, right before he kicked back on his seat, and shot out the pod door.
Below him, the people were screaming. It was like watching a Sci-fi flick where a meteor was shooting towards the planet at incredibly high speeds, set to destroy civilization, but this time, it was real. There was screaming, there was panic... and than, like in any Sci-Fi movie, the meteor blew up in the sky, causing a massive yet beautiful explosion, saving the people from imminent death and destruction. But, what never happened, was a monkey falling from the sky in it's place.
Tomoka fell to the ground with a crack, and he groaned. He had fallen to the ground at a speed that would turn an ordinary man into a pile of goo. He, however, was no ordinary man. The peoples simply stared, and the Saiyan lay there for a moment. While no bones were broken or sprained, while no muscles were pulled, there was a bit of pain. Okay, a lot of pain. So Tomoka would slowly bring his arm up, placing it upon the shattered street beneath him, and slowly pushing himself up. His scouter lens had cracked, and he pulled the remains off of his ear with a pop, it falling to the ground with a loud clack. He surveyed the crowd, made up of various races of this enemy empire, though surprisingly few actual changelings. The peoples faces, regardless of race, were filled with a mixture of terror, surprise, and hate. Terror in the way that a Saiyan soldier had just fallen from the sky, completely unharmed, in the city streets. Surprise in the fact that such an event was possible, and hatred in the way that a Saiyan dared to make his presence on their capital city.
But it was clear to all that paid attention that this one did not serve the SSE, no no. For on his cracked breastplate, there was a crest that didn't match the traditional insignia of the empire they so hated whatsoever: it was the crest of the Mazoku Dominion, one of this crumbling empire's only real allies. In horror, they realized what this meant: the fist that had shot towards the palace was not a new creation of the SSE: it was the Mazoku flagship. As people realized this, they stepped back in utter horror, watching as this Saiyan began to smirk. He suddenly began hovering in the air, and shouted to the people, "Rejoice, Arcose! For today, no longer shall you live in fear of a Saiyan invasion, for even though an invasion is upon you in this hour, it is an invasion that must be carried out! The Arcosian Empire has stagnated far to long, and today, they shall join an ever growing and ever expanding power and ally: The Mazoku Dominion!" Tomoka shouted. None responded, that is, until he shot a small ki blast at a still standing wall that had survived his impact, and the explosion of his ship. They all began clapping and cheering after that, and Tomomoka grinned, before shooting off towards the palace. He had work to do.
an even rougher landing than the one on Namek, and this time, I could die. JOY.

Post by Somatotrope on May 3, 2017 5:03:53 GMT
Somatotrope ~ [Thread PL: 42,967] [HEAVY WEIGHTS ACTIVE!] [Current PL: 10,741] Daria ~ [100,000 PL Guard] Somatotrope was one of the people in the crowd of many citizens of Arcose, accidentally corralled and smushed into a large group of the citizens as they all watched in wonder as to what the hell a gigantic such as that was doing landing on the planet. And that question was answered in little time at all as many soldiers rushed out of the ship, most of them being green men. The scent that wafted off of them permeated throughout the air had a familiarity of Xylo, that one Namekian from not very long ago who had complimented the big bug on his strength and size, despite the cowardly outlook of this creature. And all while this happened, Daria was using the loo somewhere, as she had to be the one person who created him and had a bladder the size of a golf ball! Seriously, why did she always disappear when moments like these things occurred. In the far off distance from where Soma was, a rather toxic stench leaked out of it as an boulder like thing was deposited. Even a huge distance away, Somatotrope could smell the ominous, rancid stench which it reeked of. But what drew his attention away from that boulder was Xylo's appearance, where he started to actually lay claim to the Arcosian Empire. "Not good Not good Not good Not good Not good Not good Not good Not good Not good Not good Not good!" Soma repeated over and over, his eyes darting throughout the crowd and spotting many angry citizens that were obviously unhappy with this change. The hostility was already heavily apparent, and the fact that he was in the middle of it was the absolute worst, because he'd be one of the first people to get dragged into a fight due to his size and strength. Then on top of this Koldar had come out and actually went along with all of what Xylo said, even going as far as to say that he would act as a puppet Emperor for the time being. Again things were not going as well as he had hoped, as even more unrest was building up in the crowd, a lot of murmering going around as this was all going as smoothly as this Namekian Warlord had wanted. Because the crowd was easily seeing this occurring, even more questions were brought up about what right that Arcosian had in claiming the spot of Emperor, and why he was ready to bend head over heel for this Namekian. And just as one of the Arcosians hopped up to the group in order to challenge Xylo, a new catastrophe was starting to build up as a piercing sound shot through the sky. Looking upward along with a couple of citizens, Soma's eyes widened in fear as he spotted a spacepod coming down like a red hot meteor, aiming to destroy the crowd Soma was already in. Frozen in fear and standing still, a familiar voice started ringing out against the crowd, which tried its best to flood away from the spot. It was the thick accented Brenchian scientist who created Somatotrope, trying to breach through the crowd in order to reach her creation, but failed immensely due to the absolute strength of the fleeing crowd. And Soma only had the time to scream, his loud high pitch scream of fear permeating through the air as he forgot to move at the time being. His blood pumping and his fight or flight instincts starting to pick up, as something peculiar was occurring within his own genetic code. A hidden gene that once lay dormant within his own DNA, but woken through the cumulative results of Somatotrope's growth in strength and feeling an extreme fear of death for the first time. This gene unlocked a new strength within the creation, as time seemed to crawl to a halt, with the burning husk of the Spacepod just lingering in mid air, while Soma empties his lungs as he continued screaming in front of the damned thing. It took a good couple of seconds for the big bug to realize that it had stopped, and a moment more to find out that nothing was moving. Though, as he looked around, he noticed a few citizens still stuck in the impact zone. One of which was an Arcosian Kid who hadn't even learned how to use his suppressed form, the dark arcosian having tripped while reaching out to the nearest Arcosian for help, whom was trapped in mid run to escape the zone. Without even thinking, Somatotrope scooped up the frozen child, while pushing other frozen people stuck in the zone with enough force that, if his thinking was correct in that kinetic force will travel again once time resumes, then they'd get pushed far out of the impact zone. And without time to spare, time marched on forward, with Soma barely within the edge of the blast radius, the big bug launched in the air with the Arcosian child in his insectoid claws. Curling himself up into a ball, Somatotrope impacted against the ground with a loud "OOF," just a couple feet away from the cocky saiyan who started boasting about the Mazoku Dominion. With adrenaline still rushing through his body, Soma released the child who thanked him with a hand gesture of sorts, as it ran through the crowds waving its arms with its mouth open, though no sound left the child's lips at all. Pulling himself to his feet, standing a towering foot larger than the Saiyan man, Somatotrope started to feel rather angry, as this man truly didn't care about anyone but himself as he didn't even show the slightest remorse for where he was landing! Not even throwing out an apology! Unable to contain his anger, Somatotrope spat out at Tomoka the saiyan, "I have no idea who the hell you think you are, but you come here and damn near MASSACRE our people with your shitty piloting skills and claim to be a savior of sorts?! You are nothing more than a heartless moron who needs to take a few frickin' lessons in how to be a Proper... Fucking... Person..."Stopping himself at the end of that conversation, complete realization blew over Somatotrope as he had just realized that he was picking a fight with someone who could quite easily blast him away without a second thought. Under his breath, Somatotrope started to repeat, "Oh shit, sorry, Oh shit, sorry, Oh shit, sorry, Oh shit, sorry, Oh shit, sorry."All the while, his creator was starting to break through the crowd, as she wondered what the hell happened with Somatotrope suddenly moving in less than a blink of the eye, as one moment he was screaming in utter fear, and the next he was a little bit away from the space pod and launched with a little Arcosian Child.

Post by Dantalion on May 3, 2017 5:26:01 GMT
A darkness coiled in the confines of his room, a single stack of papers scrawled and written. Now that he knew what Xylo was planning, he had to write up a new list of laws, rules, taxes and all the rest that he had done for Namek. A finger tapped against his cranium. "Okay. Arcosians. What do we know about... Arcosians..." He paused as he pulled out a small biology book, flipping through pages till he found the single solemn shred of information it had on them. This was a book from Earth and one from a few hundred years ago that he had got from the bargain bin. "Develop faster than most via combat... Okay, gonna need a law pertaining to training then..." He groaned, a small pencil in hand as he scrawled up a basis for what they needed to be done. "Okay, what's next... They can sorta shapeshift?" He paused, thinking back to Ais, it was troubling that he might not have ever shown his true face. What if behind the grandeur of their race they were nothing more than a small ugly rodent and they simply didn't want people to know? These were questions for later. "Right. Gonna need to make their licences have multiple spaces for pictures..." He muttered, he pressed pencil on paper before feeling the ship rock, the march of war dancing outside his cabin as he looked around. "The fuck was that?" He said aloud to himself, opening a curtain to see that they had finally landed. "Oh. Well better get out there I suppose." He rubbed his fingers against his temple, he really hoped today was a good day to die.
He pulled over his back the Gi of Mazoku, at this point he might as well show some pride for the empire. Underneath that was his heavyweights, serving to hide his power level so he didn't stand out with the Makyo Star hovering high above head. He was one of the last to leave, his hulking form quickly making him stand out amongst the ranks, the few who reached seven foot barely managed to stand out, but when a Demon that stands a foot taller than that marred with reddened skin, a skull for a face and has his Power Level that puts most rest of the ranks to shame. Well, it wasn't hard to notice him no matter how hard he tried to hide it.
He got to witness Xylo's speech, clapping for a short time before realising the rest were not taking suit. He coughed a little, that one single man breaking the tension as other soldiers readied themselves, faces steeled for war as the first Arcosian lord appeared."Well. At least Arcosians look similar enough." He muttered, a single soldier shooting eyes of rage as he tried to draw out the tension only to be met with an open jaw. His was sticking his tongue out like some childish brat, though the lack of a visible one quickly took away from that approach. This one seemed to agree, not willing to start a war and shorten the lives of hundreds for the sake of a trivial war. Though another approached, skin marred a deep red. Dantalion eyes widened. Holy shit. Is that an Arcosian Me? He thought, red skin, a sorta skull like face. In truth, he just had red skin but it was enough for Dantalion to be worried that an Arcosian was trying to steal his gimmick.
He heard a crash, he turned along with the few others who hadn't become uniformed prisoners. He tried to catch a sight but had to shrug it off, he didn't know what it was, he couldn't see what it was and he couldn't sense PL so he simply turned around with a shiver running down his spine. Not far behind him, were the pretty boys. Stood at attention in all their glory. Long ribbons laced their armour, strings of feathers and golden bracelets adorned their body as a drop of Demonic energy rolled down his brow, the closest he could get to a sweat drop as his features grew dark. He did not want to be near the Pretty Squad from Planet Fabulous. He took a few steps forward, his hulking frame pushing with an Audible 'sorry' as he made his way to the front. Even if it put him at risk of death. It was a far cry better than being near that lot.

Post by Lord Xylo on May 3, 2017 8:35:56 GMT
It had been mere moments, and already things had gotten interesting. Koldar was the first to show himself, as expected, but rather than simply kneel or fight back, Koldar decided to make a claim for the throne of Arcose. The statement made Xylo chuckle, but he wasn't opposed to the idea. "I will allow you to take this position in Retsu's place. Make sure you do well, or else I'll find someone better." Thoughts swam in his mind of potential alternatives. If only Retsu were still here... The Namekian's train of thought was cut off as the sound of an explosion cut through the skies. Xylo turned, his eyes narrow with fury. It was one of his space-pods, and from what he could sense, Tomoka just ruined it. The act itself was no punishment, but his landing zone just so happened to be the middle of a large crowd! Had it not been for a strange magic used by Somatrope, many lives could have been lost. Xylo sent a quick telepathic message to one of his stronger soldiers, just to ensure things didn't devolve too quickly. "Dantallion, I need you to make sure Tomoka doesn't get himself or anyone else killed. This isn't a game of 'kill the civilians'-- we're here to take over and get moving. The less casualties the better. Understood?"Although the majority of soldiers under Koldar's command were alright with how things were going, more than a few of them began to feel unhappy. They began to question their commanders methods, some even going as far as shooting insults his way before being shushed by one of their peers. The civilians in the crowd felt some unrest too. One half began to feel angered, while the other simply looked for a way to get out of the crossfire before bullets were blasted. Just as things were about to reach their peak, a voice spoke for the crowd of unhappy people. Were it anyone else, Xylo might have scowled, but seeing that familiar red face of Taiga simply made him smirk in amusement. It was a good thing the red-skinned Arcosian showed when he did. With him acting as the people's champion, their rage was funneled through him. Whatever riots were about to break out had been put on hold for the moment, as they watched with baited breath. Taiga challenged Xylo's claim, intent on showing the Mazoku Lord that they had no need for protection on this grand of a scale. "Very well. I accept your challenge, Taiga of the Lower Clans. It will be my pleasure to give you a taste of what I offer."As Xylo uttered his acceptance, the Dominion soldiers standing proudly behind him backed away. They knew better than to interfere with a fight like this. If anything, standing back was actually the best thing they could do. They stopped a few feet away, blocking the duo into the courtyard. The Mazoku Lord lowered his stance, bending his knees as he stretched his hands out in front of him. He kept one hand close to him, just below his chest, while the other stayed out in front of his neck. The two hands clenched slightly, accentuating the claw-like nails Xylo sported on his four-digit hands. Taiga quickly morphs himself into the strongest form he has on display; nothing Xylo couldn't handle, but impressive nonetheless. With a fearsome shout, Xylo let his own Ki explode out around him, the dark purple aura burning like a black candle. His power was on full display now, causing some of the scouter-sporting soldiers of the Arcosian Empire to shriek in fear as their energy-sensing devices shattered. The evil cocoon still sitting off to the side began to pulsate with excitement. It was almost time for another feast. "It's been a while since we battled together. I'm excited to see how far you've come." There was a tense moment of silence as the crowd simply watched. Xylo would give Taiga the first strike, but what exactly would the Arcosian Defender start this battle off with?
Xylo accepts your challenge, Taiga!
[KP: 3/3]
To speed things along, I'd ask that any other fights that break out be split off into separate threads. If you're not going to do any fighting, I'd suggest keeping yourself and other non-combatants in a spectators post order so that we may keep this DE going quickly. |

Post by Ais on May 3, 2017 14:10:02 GMT
Ais sat in his cabin, twiddling his thumbs. This trip had been long and the Arcosian began to grow restless. Ais loathed idle time, and so had been exercising to pass the time and pump himself up for the coming battle. He hoped that there was a fight. The Arcosian lord wanted an excuse to hit something. He was bored of exercising now and they were going to land soon, so he decided to sit patiently until they did so. Ais wished he took Cello with him. But no, he left his bodyguard behind to assist in the defense of the planet should the need arise. Besides, he felt like this was a little out of Cello's league. He was kind of beginning to regret the decision, though.
As soon as he noticed that blue and white marble of a planet in sight, he donned his armor and made his way to where the rest of the soldiers gathered. He stood amongst the ranks, the only Arcosian with the Mazoku Dominion. Ais looked around at his ancestral homeland and was... thoroughly unimpressed. It was as though it was the frigid armpit of the galaxy. He couldn't wait to get this over with and leave. Ais hoped that Beppa was at least a LITTLE warmer than this. While he was looking around, Ais caught sight of a strange, fleshy ball that pulsated with dark energy. The whole appearance of the thing gave Ais the creeps. He still didn't know what that thing was for, but he got a sense that it was incredibly important.
The Changeling's thoughts were interrupted by the loud impact of Tomoka's pod, though he didn't know it was him. They weren't on this planet five seconds when things started to get interesting. An Arcosian in the crowd stepped forward, asking Xylo to grant him governance of the empire. That was bold of him. The Changeling could respect someone with balls like that. It seemed to work out in his favor, however, as Xylo granted his request. Ais was a little surprised, though perhaps he shouldn't have been.
Then came a real twist; a red-skinned Arcosian approached Xylo and challenged his claim to the planet. Was he mad? He experienced Xylo's power first-hand and it was no joke; and that was just training! Ais had no clue what he was capable of when he deigned to fight seriously. This Changeling must be incredibly powerful, incredibly brave, or incredibly stupid. Maybe a mix of all three. Ais smirked. An interesting start to a war. It was about that time when the Arcosian lord heard a voice raised in anger. He looked over towards the source of the voice and saw Tomoka standing with some sort of bug thing. Ais almost went over to assist when he heard Xylo accept Taiga's challenge.
Ais sighed, disappointed that he'd have to miss the fight. Perhaps they could wrap this up in time to catch at least part of the brawl. Ais flew over the crowd, headed to the duo who stood at the space pod's crash site. He landed next to the Saiyan, flashing him his classic, arrogant, shit-eating grin. "Hello, Saiyan. Do you require assistance?" He said, poking fun at his Saiyan comrade. He at least liked Tomoka enough to joke around a bit. The Arcosian turned his attention to the bug-like creature. "Greetings and salutations, Mr. Bug-Man." He bowed deeply, his tail swishing to and fro, kicking up light, powdery snow. "I hope you can forgive my comrade here. It was an honest mistake, i'm sure. You know how temperamental space pods are."

The voice of the other commander, Taiga, spoke up, saying that Koldar was too quick with becoming Xylo's vassal. Koldar could feel the difference of power between himself and Xylo alone was far too vast! On top of that, a damaged ship ended up flying through the city in the distance, Somatotrope's vastly increased presence arriving there along with 2 other presences not too much weaker than that of the new Special forces leader. Koldar's attention focused back upon those around him immediately. There was a very large, red looking creature that bore the symbol of Xylo's empire, who's power was on par with Koldar's own, observing Taiga and gawking at him, like he were seeing double! Taiga brought forth a challenge to Xylo, with which the Lord accepted, offering the first move to the truest form of the younger Arcosian. Koldar spoke to them, telling them, "If you insist on fighting, please keep your powers controlled... Taiga, once you've recovered from this, we'll talk and get you more up to date on what we're dealing with. For now..."Koldar looked at the crowd, floating and looming over it with a scowl. "Does anyone here challenge my claim to the throne of the Arcose? Do any of you intend to challenge me, Commander Koldar Frost, 'The Ice Breaker' for the throne?!"(Koldar's gonna let the battle go on, but intends to keep the matter of his claim to the throne up. Taiga) (KP: 3/3) (PL: 76,254) |

Music!!
Taiga's challenge is accepted by the Namekian Lord, as Taiga had hoped. Taiga spreads his feet apart, bending at a near ninety-degree angle at his knees, and raises his arms; his left closed into a fist and drawn back towards his hip, the right hand open and raised with his forearm crossing past his face. He hears Koldar suggest that the two hold back; likely to keep from harming the city and its inhabitants.
But Taiga would not have the luxury of holding back, this he already knew. His brow furrows as any number of possible attacks come to mind, but the Namekian is ready, so there was no point in trying anything deceptive. His mind made up, Taiga's toes dig into the ground, and his ki flares. The Arcosian soldier launches at Xylo, spinning heel over head with the front of his right lower leg swinging around to strike at Xylo's left shoulder.

Tomoka would suddenly stop midflight, having only begun a few seconds ago. He turned his head, and saw what he thought was a giant bug man. A normal person would recoil, but Tomoka had seen a lot of weird shit in the past, and he was used to it by now. He would simply listen to the bug man, and would now realize exactly what had happened: if it were not for his ship being blown up, he would've KILLED the massive crowd that was around him moments ago! Tomoka suddenly realized exactly what had happened, but he wasn't thinking about the lives that could've been lost, he was thinking about what Lord Xylo might do to him. They were here to quickly conquer an empire, an annexation of several valuable planets in one single, glorious day... and he had just nearly botched the mission by almost killing several dozen people, and now, one of them appeared ready to tear his head from his shoulders. Tomoka suddenly began trembling, and he bowed his head quickly. "F-forgive me. The heat shield failed. I don't know how, and I don't know why. I h-had the pod read out a status report on all s-systems before I departed-d the planet." Tomoka said trembling, imagining what fate awaited him. He had angered not only these people, but had most likely incurred Xylo's wrath as well. "I had no control, please, it was an accident." Tomoka would say before, all of a sudden, he heard a familiar voice. Turning his head, he spotted a friend; okay, his only friend. Hell, he wasn't even sure if he could call him that. But, he didn't want to kill him, so that made him okay in Tomoka's book. " Oh thank False Kami you're here Ais," Tomoka let out a heavy breathe, before continuing to speak. "Everything he said is right, I couldn't stop it, believe me. The controls were fried. I don't know what I could've done to stop myself from doing that, but believe me, had I known I was going to land in a crowd of people like that, I'd have shot myself into the polar ice caps. But that didn't happen. Noone is dead, so I have no reason to continue being here." Tomoka would say, confident that the bug man wouldn't attempt to attack. On his left, after all, was an Arcosian, who was nearly half as strong as the bug man in his base form. Tomoka was confident that in Ais' final form, the bug man would lose a fight between the three of them. Without a word, Tomoka began to fly away. But than, something pulled at him, in the back of his mind. He remembered what The bug man had accused him of calling himself: a savior. He suddenly found himself laughing, to which point, he turned around to look at the bug man. "And by the way: when I said what I said, you don't have me to thank for that, not in the slightest: you have lord Xylo to thank for the security that will be brought about in this new era of the galaxy." Tomoka would say, before turning to Ais. "Thanks for coming to make sure I didn't get killed, I appreciate it. If you'd be so kind, Arcosian, I'd appreciate it if we went back to the palace. Lord Xylo... would most likely want to see us." Tomoka said, gulping. He knew whatever punishment Xylo had in store for Tomoka would be severe, but he knew it would be inevitable. After all, running away was impossible. But he knew what needed to be done, and he would do it. Without hesitation, he flew towards the palace, unaware of what was in store for him. Perhaps the bug man would follow, perhaps he wouldn't, Tomoka didn't know. He honestly hoped he didn't he could tell that he wasn't to be messed with. He may have begun to buckle towards the end of his rant, but it was probably because he feared Tomoka as a threat, unaware that he was quite possibly stronger than the Saiyan. either way, he didn't care. He had a job to do.

Post by Somatotrope on May 5, 2017 0:51:30 GMT
Despite the fact currently this crash lander was more than twice his own strength due to the power inhibitors that Daria placed on his limbs, the saiyan went from cockily boasting to shriveling up into a blubbering mess, going on and on about how he was sorry but it wasn't his fault. Although Soma has only been alive for a little under half a year, he was not a buffoon to overlook that while all those errors may be not been directly any fault of this two-faced saiyan, it was definitely very evident that he was shrugging off the fact that the failure of his ship was unavoidable. If anything, he could have easily found the issue if this guy even had the foresight to check the actual systems of the ship... Or even get someone to do it for him, as he seemed to be the type who wouldn't know how to put together an Earthling aerodynamic flying vehicle. And to save his own hide was someone who was closer to Soma's current strength, but had a better handle on his own emotions. The odd Ice-jin who, at first, Soma would have assumed to be part of the Arcosian Empire of course. But, from the slight interactions between him and this rather bi-polar saiyan spoke volumes to the other argument, saying that he was in fact allied with him and in turn allied to the Mazoku Dominion. And listening to this guy drivel on and on about how he was sorry and what not for nearly killing bystanders with his easily avoidable stunt... It was rather insulting, as Soma started to actually pick up the intricacies of how people act under pressure. Spewing lies once they are faced with any kind of opposition to make it seem that they were in a good light, despite at how dire the situations seemed. In the future, Somatotrope had to thank Glacius for being such a good shit-eating liar. Although twitching a little about being called 'Mr. Bug Man,' Somatotrope took it with a grain of salt as he could not have possilby learned of the bio-creation's own name. This arcosian tried to absolve the cowardly saiyan of all his guilt, by laying all the blame on the space pods... Pods that many people around the universe used. If they were as temperamental as they said, then there would be reason that these flying space orbs would be discontinued. "If you truly cared..." Somatotrope began before this moron made his escape, his blood burning with fury as these emotions overrode his genetic instincts to shrivel in fear, "Then you would have tried to come to the impact point of the debris of your wreckage. And if you want to claim that it wasn't your fault, don't blame the pods. You could have had it inspected before shooting down here, or rode along in the giant flagship your boss came in on. Do NOT Take me for a brainless sod, as I may have the body similar to a bug, but I am intelligent enough to see through your facade... Hiding either a cruel or careless nature underneath."Within his head there were quite many gears turning as he continued interacting with this multitude of people, the capabilities of his intellect only improving with each new person he interacted with, learning the nuances of social interaction with these slight amounts of meetings. And it seemed Tomoka started to let his true nature slip as he fled away, while stopping in order to gloat about Xylo. And because of this little spiel, Soma mentally added another possibility of what Tomoka's nature might be, being that of a sheep, as he blindly followed the gospel of Xylo like scripture. Turning his head to face Ais once Tomoka was done, the giant insectoid flat out ignoring whatever he said, Somatotrope looked the Ice-jin up and down, unable to get a read of what kind of person this was initially, due to how little he spoke. Opening up his gob, he replied, "Sorry for not answering. Couldn't tear my focus away from that train wreck of a person and all, hope you can understand. But no, I will not forgive him for negligence of space pods that have been in use for thousands of years. And please, do Not call me a bug. I have a name. My name is Somatotrope, leader of the Arco- ACK!"Interrupted in his speech, a red skinned brenchian wearing a white lab coat, a small black battle bra, and black combat pants and boots wrapped her arm around Soma's neck from below, pulling him down to look her in the eyes as she asked in her thick accent, "Experiment 404... What did you... you do?"
"Wh-What?"
"You saved those people from the crashing debris. Wh-what did you do in such a short period of time?"As she pointed this out, Soma recalled back to his actions previously, in which everything seemed frozen for a short period of time, a time span in which only he could move and interact with others in. And despite having a growing knowledge, he couldn't exactly explain what had happened in between the times of the crashing pod nearly impacting, and the actual impact. Musing, he muttered, "I... created more time?"
With those words uttered, a choking noise started to escape his own lips as he was dragged by the muscular Brenchian, who was a foot and a half smaller than her creation, their destination being the point as to where Koldar was. With a huge grin on her face, she couldn't help but say with glee, "Welp, we're going to go meet EMPEROR Koldar and inform him of your creation of the Soma Squad, and your developing strength."EMPEROR!? What happened that made him leader of the world!?

Powerlevel: 51,183 Heavy Weights:12,795.75 Thirst for Battle Bonus: 38387.25/ 12795.75 Powerlevel The Pod flew close to the Planet of Arosce siren and such bleeping and bumping as he flew down. The heran warrior eyes snapped open before he rubbed them, "Uh...." He turned his head to all the red that filled his pod from the monitor. "Warnings you’re heading to a high population area what type of action would you like to take." The Machine roared as the pod keep flying as Gekido just smashed against the key board, "Which actions get me to all the people." He yelled at the screen. He was told if he yelled loud enough it'd say something back. It never did say anything back guess the salesman was a con or maybe smashing his fist into the side of his ship had not done it any wonders. The Heran grumbled as the pod flew towards the ground as he smashed his finger against the small keyboard typing something in, “Land wherever that is.” He spoke half serious and half asleep. He was bored as hell and that as a result made him tired as hell. The pod landed softly on a random walkway as aroscian ran past him. He smashed the pod open the door slamming into a wall as he stepped out his orange hair blowing in the winds, “It smells good.” He cracked his neck as an Aroscian grabbed his hand. “Sir you need to get out of here the Namakians lord Xylo has invaded” He screeched as he ran off Gekido getting the brightest smile on his face. This lord sounded like a tough cookie. He wondered what he wanted with a hunk of junk like Arosce. As he sat there it came to mind that Arosce should have been a pile of rubble from the Saiyans. That was what he remembered from Koldar training. He blinked.. .”Wait why I am on this rock anyway.” The heran rubbed his chin as he walked forward a bit he could not sense ki but he could see fire. Maybe this is where this Xylo fool was. Maybe he’d get to meet him. First thought that came to mind was how slug tasted like. He had taken down a super saiyan he felt as confident as ever. Then again the saiyan used only a 1/4th of her power but he decided to ignore that part. Why would anyone need important details like that if they wanted to fight? He just wanted to fight in his body in the living world. The gravity of hell was bad for his shoulder and everyone down there was all weak. He walked to see a saiyan and a bug looking creature. He assumed that maybe it this saiyan that lead the attack. Maybe they had come to finish the job but the bug layed the smack down on the saiyan. He was insulting him left and right for failing to even land a pod. He’d would have laughed if he didn’t struggle with landing a pod that had auto piolet. He decided to leave that part out if he asked why he was here. Some aroscian seemed to be watching something in the distance as he decided to walk past the bug and the saiyan, “Yo you must be the invading force or maybe your defending I don’t care have fun with your lives.” The heran wanted to see what was going on with the aroscians. Then he saw his former lord among them looking over the crowd of cowards. He knew none of them would fight the icebreaker. “If you’re becoming the new boss you need your hound to follow your order and the dirty work.” A Savage grin formed on Gekido face as he pushed past the crowd looking up at Koldar. “Commander or should I say Emperor, I’d like to challenge you but not for your throne. I could give fewer shits about that but as I said you need someone to do the dirty work.” The Hearn form swelled his aura giving the vibe of a warrior filled with bloodthirsty. He wanted to fight and he wanted to return to a state where he could do something in this new Arosce. “I challenge you for the right to become your left hand man.” He knew about Voca and he decided left was better than being the right. It’d mean he’d actually have to do some paperwork. “Or maybe like some type of commander look I want some military position I trained under you and while I been gone I have become stronger in fact I can almost fly.” He couldn’t but maybe Koldar would think that was some achievement. Flying was a basic technique and he still didn’t know how to do it. He could have learned it most likely but he liked fighting grounded and he hated cowards that flew over like nats. They were cowards and he was not spineless like them. He paused before waving, "Anyhow I hope the reign of new emperor will not be as bad as the last but i have faith in you Koldar." He saluted his commander the heran having a bright smirk on his face. Dantalion (The main man had arrived) |

Post by Dantalion on May 5, 2017 6:56:24 GMT
As Dantalion pushed and swayed through the crowd an order was given. He looked to Xylo, his lips didn't move but his words rung through his head. Telepathy. His body hunched over, an arm forming in the back of his body as he, unfortunately, had to make a scene. He wanted to witness what was going to transpire between them but also had to follow Xylo's orders, so he came to a compromise. He would do both. The arm twisted and pulled at the air, trying to find something to grip onto before pressing against Dantalion's head, his body hunching over a little more as from his back a second arm sprouted, the same violent swinging and swaying motion as it tried to find something to grip. It was a horror show, two arms violently shaking and contorting from his back before the second finally found the body beneath him, pressing up as now a pair of horns crowned from his back, only to be followed by a blood coated skeletal carapace. His head creaked and shook as it pulled itself to full height, an identical clone with the exception of all the blood that had covered the newly formed Dantalion's face. The clone took a step to the side, bending a knee to its brother Alpha. "Beta. I need you to go and inspect the crash site." Dantalion flashed a finger, the clone giving a quick nod before its body began to flare with kit, a small cloud of darkness, haze and mist encompassed his body before shifting to his feet, picking him up and rolling him out from the crowd, a few soldiers left in the wake of a coughing fit as Demonic energy flushed through their body. I really need to get a handle on that Demonic Stuff. The words whisked through his mind as he came upon the crash site, Ais and Tomoka there as Tomoka proclaimed with the confidence of a king the gospel of Xylo.
Beta Dantalion sat behind watching it play out, Tomoka had certainly a... Way of dealing with crowds but not exactly the way Dantalion liked. As Tomoka started to fly towards Xylo, Dantalion ascended in front of him, "No ya don't." He said, his skull at level with Tomoka's head as his fingers ran along the length of his arm, Tomoka made a boo boo, and since they were trying to seem amicable he would have to make up without preaching the word of Xylo. Dantalion pressed a single hand against Tomoka's chest the size encompassing his entire chest as he manually pushed him back to the crash site. He doubted Tomoka was going to put up much of a fight, but if he did it wouldn't matter, a single kidney punch given as he would continue to drag Tomoka down to the crash site.
The blooded Dantalion looked at the wreckage, Tomoka still in hand as he turned to the Bug Woman. His head bowed, he didn't witness it and missed the conversation about them making more time. But with that much speed, the first assumption was simply they had the Power to back up that magnitude of speed. He looked at the wreckage than to Tomoka. "Tomoka. You seem to have forgotten a few things." Dantalion stated, looking over the wreckage, his hand no longer gripped around his chest as he looked at the destruction the space pod had caused. "The first is an apology. A proper one. One that I approve off." He picked up rubble, giving out a short sigh as he turned and looked around the lot "Remember. We just arrived on this planet and you have just gone and preached the gospel to these people. That isn't a way to calm them down." He stated aloud, this was only going to flare hostilities between the two parties even more. "Next. You are going to thank this person for doing what you couldn't. Not kill anyone." Dantalion didn't need the Mazoku Kill Count to skyrocket from one misused space pod. "And not only for them stopping you from murdering a bunch of people. But because you were kinda a dick at the end there." He clarified, he had done a lot in such a short period of time, and no doubt angered a lot in that space as well. "And finally. You are not going to get to witness Xylo until I see this wreckage cleaned up." He made it very clear, the Space pod had upturned concrete and debris from its crash landing and someone was going to clean it up. Dantalion descended, picking up dirt and rubble, "Oh. And you are taking the ship back home." Dantalion stated he wasn't letting Tomoka take this death trap for a second round.
Alpha Dantalion received into the crowd's depths, not wanting to be in the limelight for too long after the horrifying display of Multiform. A few soldiers took a few steps further away, the choking mist still trickling from the tip of his jaw, a displeased frown spread across his face before an all too familiar voice rose. "IS THAT FUCKING GEKIDO!" His voice roared, anger filling to the brim as he darted forward and through the crowd, his composure temporarily broken as he remembered him all too well. That one line sticking in his mindscape like gum stuck to a shoe. Your time I don't give a fuck I just saw a grey haired horned devil's bitch sitting in the corner and I took some form of interest, don't act high and mighty. Yep, those were the first words he ever said to him. Well, technically too Mammon but he and Gekido didn't get to chat too much. "You piece of shit!" He remembered another facet. There short lived fight, where he was denied his right of combat, more focused on fighting Mammon than he ever seemed to care to fight him. "Lord Xylo. I am sorry to speak up." He took pause, before rushing pass Xylo to strike out in blinded rage. "But we cannot allow this man in our ranks." He stated rather aggressively, "This... Thing has no tact, he barely knows how to string a sentence together and is more than likely going to antagonise the entire SSE with his damn Heran Pride." He spat, venom in his every word. He was more happy with Tomoka joining the ranks than this violent Buffon who reminded him more of a mentally innate Caveman than he did an actual sentient being.

Post by Lord Xylo on May 5, 2017 8:41:34 GMT
Taiga quickly launches into the fray, his Ki flaring as his body spins into attacking position. His form is excellent, and his strike expertly aimed; were they closer in speed and strength, Xylo might have been in some serious trouble. The Mazoku Lord brings his left arm up above him, blocking the incoming kick with his forearm. As the two limbs collide, a shock-wave of energy explodes outwards, blowing intense winds in all directions before the power subsides. Xylo smirks up at the Arcosian born of low blood. He cocks his right fist back, before thrusting it up at Taiga's chest, intent on dishing out some damage right from the start. Should the Arcosian take the hit, Xylo would follow up his original strike by forming a small orb of Ki in his palm. With a quick motion, he flung it toward Taiga at high speeds. The Mazoku Lord is distracted momentarily by one of his own men. Dantallion broke rank, but not to help Tomoka. Instead, he seemed to be upset with whomever was challenging Koldar. He growled in displeasure, shouting at the hulking demon. "Dantallion! Reign in your vendetta and focus! It's not your place to decide who works under Koldar, understand?" He considered blasting him for ignoring his commands, but he stopped himself. There was an identical Ki across the city. It seemed the Demon knew how to split himself into multiple forms. The Namekian turned his attention back to Taiga, ignoring the upcoming battle between Koldar and the muscle-bound brute across from him. He'd let the red-skinned Arcosian come at him again. He wanted to make sure that his challenger was fully aware of how outmatched he was by the end of this battle.
