PL: 134,371 Current Form: Suppressed Revival Thread
Abzerute soared through the skies of Hell, seeking his way out. He had learned all that he could from the purple princeling imp, and now it was time he returned to the realm of the living and reclaimed his throne from that wretch Retsu. Even if the gnat used that petulant child-creature Noxa of his to try and end his life again, with this Makaioken technique at his disposal, he'd be more than a match for the damn woman. But first he had to find a way out of this infernal realm and back to existence... But how? If he were a patient entity right now he'd simply wait for that Arcosian Android of his to revive him using the Dragon Balls, either the Namekian variety or Earths... but since that had yet to be achieved by now, the bronze Arcosian had to assume that Retsu had reprogrammed the machine, or it had been scrapped.
Now, how to get out of this damned place? He continued to fly as he considered what he knew about this realm of the dead. He had entered through a hole in the floor from that King Yemma's place, although he suspected that was purely for the Ogres own amusement than any real function. He certainly couldn't see any seams in the sky that would indicate a central point for the entrance, which meant that it had no real form here. He knew that others could utilise the energies of this realm to forge new bodies for themselves and others. And he had witnessed Beelzebub manipulate the reality of this place around him in order to appear and disappear.
Which meant that any exit route that others had taken would probably have either shifted to a new location, or ceased to exist after they had used it. Or he could attempt a truly reckless plan and try to forge an exit of his own. Abzerute blinked as that particular notion came to him and he stopped where he was, resting his chin in his fingers as he contemplated that possibility. In theory it was probable... his new body had access to magical energies due to that Namekian Prophet infusing it with some of his own energies when he had crafted it for Abzerute, and he had gathered some of the energy of this realm into himself as he had remained here. Combined with his own telekinetic abilities...
He closed his eyes and searched inside of himself for this ethereal energy, locating it beside his own reserves of power. Slowly he raised his hand outwards, and began to work on trying to draw on this ethereal energy rather than his own power. Despite this stuff being malleable enough to be used for crafting new forms, it was strangely resistant to his demands in this case. The bronze Arcosian snarled as he used his own energy to try and bend this ethereal shoki to his will, forcing it to travel through his body and start to come forth. As it left his body he would work to force it with his mind to start cracking open a tear between this reality and where he desired to go. Specifically the throne that he wished to reclaim. No sense in dithering around and wasting time.
The air around him bucked and seemed to scream as he forced the ethereal energies to obey his commands, a jagged tear forming in front of him. From that tear Abzerute caught the faintest whiff of snow and ice... the snow and ice of Arcose. No time to celebrate though or lower his guard, since the energies he was manipulating were trying to fight back. With one final push of his will, the bronze Arcosian forced the crack to open wider, wide enough for him to get through, and travel through it he did with the crack slamming shut behind him as he did so.
The air around the shattered throne in what was once the throne room for the Arcosian Empire began to stir. Despite there being no wind, there was one beginning to pick up speed around the ornate edifice, with small arcs of bronze and green lightning arcing around even as the wind picked up into a veritable vortex. As the vortex raged around the throne, a power began to form inside of the eye of the storm, as well as a silhouette of a figure. The gale winds blew for a few more moments before being shattered apart as the figure's tail cracked down like a whip, revealing the figure to a bronze Arcosian with green bio-gems, his arms folded across his chest.
He took in a slow breath through his nose, before letting it out through his mouth, his face splitting into a triumphant smirk. "I have returned." he said, authority filling his voice as he flexed his fingers, taking in the sight of the throne room before him and shaking his head. "As I suspected, Retsu's caused my Empire that I had worked so hard to reforge from the squabbling fiefdoms, to fall apart..." Abzerute said, glancing around to see if anyone had come to intercept his return to the realm of the living. He raised an eyebrow at the sight of a dark-skinned Namekian alongside an Arcosian, both dressed in similar armours over by an adjacent door in the wall.
"Did Retsu actually manage to accomplish something besides allowing this place to fall apart?" the former Emperor mused as he began to walk down from his former throne. "A Namekian standing guard alongside an Arcosian. My my my..." he said, raising an eyebrow as the pair of them pointed their weapons at him, the Namekian being quicker on the draw and slowly followed by the Arcosian. "Identify yourself, and don't take another step. By orders of Lord Xylo-" the Namekian said before he found Abzerutes claws around his throat, lifting him off of the ground. "I do not take orders from grunts." the bronze Arcosian snarled before he hurled the unfortunate sod across the throne room, turning his attention to the Arcosian guard. "Start explaining. I need to be brought up to speed on what's been going on since Retsu and his pet Noxa killed me and took my throne." he ordered, the guard gulping slightly. "I-It's a bit... a bit of a long story, sir..." the guard said, Abzerute simply looking at him. "Then you'd better start before it gets any longer."

(Koldar & Voca Thread PL: 101,676/76,257)
Koldar's return home with Voca was nothing particularly grandiose. The Supreme Commander, or as the populace often still referred to him as Emperor Frost, had landed back on the planet and had appeared to be looking livid with the whole assistance with the Mazoku Dominion's conquering of the planet Yardrat! There were details he clearly didn't want to get into, which meant Voca had to explain what was going on. Meanwhile, the Supreme Commander had taken refuge in the AE headquarters attached to the palace via multiple bridges, taking to his current office to rest from the trip before he could think of anything.
Koldar took to looking at reports, based upon how the training of his soldiers was going. Lukkass, Koldar's strange human-like soldier with fleshy horns sticking up the front of his head, had been focusing on controlling himself a lot more, lately, since the battles have been getting much more intense. Meanwhile, 'Ferris,' as was the android called now these days, had been attempting to reinforce his body fibers with Arcosian bio-mechanical technologies to help boost his overall power too. As for the troops that were in training, it seemed they were a long ways away from be strong enough to fight the warriors that the SSE had employed!
Voca came knocking on his door, the Supreme Commander groaning aloud, "Come in..."
The bald Heran did so, closing the door behind him and making his way to the couch in Koldar's office with a groan of pain, and frustration! He uttered, "It's been about at least 20 years since I joined your unit and I STILL don't know how you deal with some of these pretentious fools!"
"Aye, it is difficult. However, it's about getting them to speak straight to the point," Koldar stated straightforward, "And when they speak with daggers to plunge at your reputation, you look at the individual in particular and answer honestly, and in a positive light of your objective. After that, you look to the rest of the audience! These are all steps about being in control, and we have to show that lest we end up with a ruling like Wyntre's."
"I still wish we weren't having to deal with this," Voca retorted, "We're soldiers, Koldar! Not rulers..."
Koldar sighed in agreement. They weren't meant to be rulers! Let alone, they were more representatives of their world under the annexation of the Mazoku Dominion. After going to reinforce Yardrat and having to beat a fool of a Brenchian that was leading the attack, to only find that he hadn't been involving Arcosians and Yardratians as targets of theirs! Granted, he should've confirmed that this wasn't the case to begin with, which justified the beating he gave the man. However, Koldar imagined that Xylo would want to have some words with him later about that..!
"So, Koldar. What's our next app-"
Voca stopped speaking, and Koldar shot up from his desk! An incredible power quickly formed not far from them! Alarms were blaring a second afterwards, while Koldar and Voca rocketed out the door and to the sensor relay of the base. Immediately rushing through the door, with Voca coming up from behind, Koldar pointed at one of the soldiers reading the scouter relay!
"Soldier, what's the situation?! Why are we feeling a presence in the Throne Room," Koldar was quick to question, "Did the damn SSE get by our sensors again?!"
"N-No, sir! It just formed right there," the soldier explained, "We have soldiers heading over there now to scout the situation!"
"They're greatly out of their league... Voca, let's go! To the throne room!"
"Aye, sir!"
The two of them immediately sprinted out of the room and through the base to the overhanging bridge that connected to the Emperor's palace. There was something strange about this energy... Something Koldar couldn't put his finger on. Familiarity was the sensation, but Koldar didn't quite recognize this one. It was powerful, and while stronger than Koldar, wasn't entirely stronger than he and Voca combined!
"Who the hell is able to get in the throne room without the sensors, or even us able to sense them like that," Voca asked cursedly, feeling his blood rushing as they approached the throne room!
"I don't know, but on your toes..!"
There was a loud thud from the gargantuan room, Koldar and Voca skidding front of the throne room with Koldar in front. Both assumed their own stances, getting ready to fight! Koldar, however upon looking upon the perpetrator, found himself gasping aloud.
"What the hell? Abzerute?!"
Voca blinked, unshifting in his stance, before asking, "Abzerute? As in the Emperor that Retsu had killed by the leader of the NOXA force that went missing?"
Koldar gulped and nodded while confirming this. He then asked the Bronze Arcosian, his stance unmoving, "Where have you been this whole time, Abzerute?!"
(Supreme Commander Frost and Voca arrive at the throne room!)

"Ah, Captain Koldar... or should I say Supreme Commander Koldar, since according to this very helpful young man here you've had a promotion in the interim of our last meeting." the bronze Arcosian said upon seeing Koldar arrive with a slight skid which he admittedly found amusing, nodding towards the Arcosian soldier who was still conscious.
"Congratulations on that by the way. I had been intending on making you the commander of the Force once things had properly settled, but alas Retsu and his pet bitch intervened." he said with a sigh and shake of his head. "As for where I've been? Literally in Hell if you can believe it. Quite the experience being dead, not one I'd recommend though." said Abzerute with a slight chuckle and shrug of his shoulders.
"Especially since time seems to flow a little differently in the afterlife from here." he mused as he began to step towards Frost and his companion. "It seems that I've missed out quite a fair bit, but thankfully I believe I've been brought up to speed by your very co-operative soldier there," he said with a gesture of his tail towards the conscious guard, "no thanks to that idiot over there though who tried to pick a fight." said the former Emperor with a flick of his tail towards the unconscious Namekian. "He's still alive, don't worry." he preempted slightly dismissively. "But, I think perhaps I'd best check the history I've been told. Never trust only one source after all for your intelligence." said Abzerute with another chuckle.
"So, feel free to correct me when I get something wrong here Koldar." the bronze Arcosian said. "After Retsu had his child-creature assassinate me, his reign lasted only a few months, during which time he almost starts a war with Earth when his pet slipped its leash and went on a rampage." he said, holding up one finger as if counting off his notes for a test. "He then gets his ass kicked by the Namekian Xylo in the Asteroid fields, and then formulated some perverse partnership with him which has resulted in the Arcosian Empire being run roughshod over by this Mazoku Dominion." said Abzerute, holding up two more fingers.
"And to top it all off, Retsu finally gets his oh so much desired war with the Solar Saiyan Empire to try and get retribution for what they did to Arcose, and he's nowhere to be seen or heard from whilst the Empire is being taken apart planet by planet by the Saiyans and the Mazokus..." he finished as he stood before Koldar and his Heran companion. "Does that sound about right? I may have embellished the report with my own feelings on the matter, so don't take it out on your subordinate there." Abzerute inquired with a slight chuckle and smirk.

Abzerute seemed to think that Koldar was in charge of the special Forces unit of the empire. Afterwards, he went to explain that he'd been through hell for training, trying to state literally. It did make Koldar wonder if Abzerute went through the training Koldar makes his men go through. Wherever he was alluding to, on top of, he stated time was much slower, which only sought to give Koldar more questions for the former Emperor! The Supreme Commander was going to break it to Abzerute that he was holding the throne currently for a new ruler to come by, and with that, he'd been proclaimed Emperor Frost by the people during said annexation, but Abzerute was wanting correct information on what had happened to the state of the Empire that it fell to a state that he was believing was far worse than he was believing! After he finished, Koldar straightened his posture a bit, fists at his sides as he prepared to speak to the former Emperor of the empire. Voca remained in position, remaining in stance while Koldar proceeded to explain. "Embellishment is what I'll be correcting now, then, starting from the former emperor Retsu's rule. Yes, Retsu and Force commander NOXA did go to the planet Earth after your supposed departure that you seem to be alluding around. Retsu had gone there to bring back the Arcosian Empire loyalists like myself to Arcose. This information about Retsu and Xylo meeting, and fighting each other to then make a deal, sounds quite preposterous... Although, this would explain why he was missing for months before I even arrived, and even General Taiga as well," Koldar stated inquisitively, mulling over the thought as he went on to explain, "To further go on, due to the repeated absences of Emperors and Empresses, I had chosen to take over as ruler of the Arcosian Empire, as caretaker of the throne until one who can prove themselves worthy of the throne shows themselves... Which I imagine you will want back. Before you show me you are indeed worthy of retaking the throne, I must finish the situation with the Arcosian Empire and the Mazoku Dominion. On the day I had taken to becoming the Emperor, or as I prefer to be called, Supreme Commander of the Empire, Xylo had come to annex the planet Arcose until the Arcosian Empire can reclaim its standing as the mighty power that had been rivals of the SSE for so many generations! The SSE, unfortunately, has not stopped assaulting us when have been beaten down, which is why we are in this annexed alliance with the Mazoku Dominion. As we speak, there is a training facility being developed on Kanassa, which has strangely been made devoid of Kanassan civilian life..."Koldar pointed a thumb at himself with a pause. He then stated, "We've lost people here and our other worlds, trying to defend them that I personally trained... It has not been enough as I am now, with this title of Emperor, Abzerute. However, I cannot leave the leadership in the hands of a greenhorn who cannot hold their own against his own subordinates, and let alone dismantle the empire again for their own selfish desires, such as what Wyntre did before you... Are you here for the position once more?"( Abzerute, back to you!)

The bronze Arcosian stood there and listened as Koldar corrected and corroborated some of the information he'd been given already. "I see..." he mused once Koldar had finished his entire report of the events that had transpired since his death. "And I can only assume then that Wyntre herself hasn't made an appearance then for the throne? Or any appearance for that matter?" he inquired, wondering what exactly the former Empress' game was. She should have been seen somewhere by now... If he'd been able to make it back from the dead, then she should have managed to make it as well. "In my defence for my absence, I had been dead as I mentioned before." said Abzerute, rubbing the back of his neck with a sigh. The fact that they'd been annexed by this newly formed Dominion was not comforting in the slightest. "All my work reforging the Empire from the bickering fiefdoms..." he grumbled before he shook his head. "I can only assume that the previous leaders of those worlds are gone as well since the annexation." he half-asked, half-stated to the current head of his Empire. "I ask only because you don't seem to be carrying extra bags under your eyes from having to deal with those pontificating politicians." the bronze Arcosian said with a smirk before he sighed a little. "So, what is the current state of planetary affairs in the Empire?" he inquired of Koldar and his Heran accomplice. "How many of our worlds do the Solar Saiyan Empire currently hold, how many do we hold, and how many does this Dominion hold sway over?" Abzerute asked. "If I were to reclaim my position as Emperor, thus allowing you to focus on purely the military aspects of this bloody war we've gotten ourselves into that we weren't prepared for, then I'd best be aware of where the Arcosian Empire stands in terms of potential and actual resources." he said before holding up a hand. "And please, spare me the popularity polls this time around. That really annoyed me when I was last in charge and I wanted a report from you."

"I... Very well then," Koldar stammered after Abzerute's statements, crossing his arms across his chest while giving it some thought, "Well, for one, I've chosen to outright state to Wyntre she's not welcome in Arcose space after the devastation she let happen under her watch, so unless she storms her way here, she's not going to be permitted entry... Since you've brought it up."
He hummed a bit, while Voca walked over and leaned to his ear, asking him with a whisper, "Koldar, what the hell are you doing?"
"I'm testing right now... He's the only one who's done good for the Empire thus far. Even Retsu damaged the empire by eliminating him, so I need to do this..."
Koldar waved at him to back up a bit. Voca hesitantly did so, while Koldar went on to continue explaining to Abzerute the state of things.
"We were getting forces gathered, with a new special forces leader by the name of Somatotrope leading it. Things were going smoothly for a bit, and we were anticipating an attack from the SSE this time around," Koldar explained, rubbing his chin, "We engaged with training with the Mazoku Dominion's forces stationed here on Arcose, those officers having fought with us against the SSE too long enough for Xylo to arrive to reinforce, as he is currently the only one strong enough to handle their much higher ranked officers... But on the state of things, Xylo and his forces have been looking to reclaim planets owned by our empire that were taken by the SSE. His forces are fairly unruly and not at all disciplined. A few days ago, I went to investigate battle reclaim Yardrat from the SSE, one of the four planets we lost, the others being the Brenchian Gemini and Beppa. Supposedly, the Konatsian Empire has been seeking to ally with Xylo, having been trying to reinforce one of the planets with their re-annoited King, Plato, who was also thought to be dead. Our spy networks, however, claimed the King of Konats was slain in battle against the current Queen's right hand, and the planet was lost. Konats itself is supposedly engaging in a battle for the planet, where I sense Wyntre's energy being present. It seems to me she may be going for a power grab of sorts, but that is speculation..."
Koldar looked at Abzerute with a straight-edged look. He asked him, "What are your thoughts with this information I've provided you so far?"

So she is back... what is she playing at then if she hasn't made an outright move? The bronze Arcosian wondered as Koldar gave his report on the Empire's situation. She knows the Makaioken if that damned imp is to be believed, so could she be trying to acquire more power for some reason? he internally mused. He listened carefully to Koldar's report, noting which worlds were still under their control and which ones had fallen to external influences. "So, we currently hold Arcose and Yardrat. The Gemini system and Beppa are currently the hot potatoes in this war, if I'm understanding correctly..." he summarised, rubbing his chin in thought.
"What about the Raiti-Zacro Asteroid and Kanassa? The former due to when I was last alive I'd made a deal with the head honcho pirate at the time that she and her cohorts would harass the SSE's supply and trade routes, in return for safe passage through our Empire, so long as they didn't interfere with our own routes." he inquired. "The latter, purely because I'm curious as to how that world fares in this war, since it tends to be where the SSE and AE fought more often than not in the past compared to other worlds." the former Emperor explained with a shrug. "On the Plato matter... I've had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting that twat when he was alive, and when we were both dead." said Abzerute with a sigh and shake of his head.
"The man's an unmitigated idealistic moron... which sadly makes him slightly dangerous." he said, pinching the bridge of his nose as he recalled the last conversation he'd held with the man back in Hell. "If he's trying to ally himself with Xylo, either here or in the Afterlife, then we need to turn them against one another instead if we've any chance of getting the Arcosian Empire out from under the Mazoku Dominion's boot." Abzerute surmised. "I presume that Habana is still the Queen of the Solar Saiyan Empire then? Or has that position shifted as well since I've been gone?" he inquired of Koldar and his Heran accomplice.
"As for my thoughts so far... I would propose we consolidate our forces to Arcose and Yardrat for the time being. Gather our forces and resources, take stock of what we actually have and do not have. Give our forces time to recuperate and recover." the former Emperor suggested. "We can't fight a war on multiple fronts, especially not one on this sort of scale with worlds shifting hands every so often, along with their resources. Especially if our "allies" are as undisciplined and unruly as you say they are." he stated, rubbing his chin in thought. "In any case, we have to try and end this war as swiftly and decisively as possible. I haven't returned from the dead simply to reclaim an empire of ashes and bone."

Koldar wagged his finger when Abzerute stated they should be consolidating on Yardrat and Arcose. He stated, "We won't be able to to station on Yardrat, as that belongs to the Dominion. However, we do have control of Kanassa, which is being made into a training base... Which, unfortunately, I did not know about these Pirates that were supposed to be abusing the SSE. It did not seem to have any detrimental effect on them, what with the attacks on the planets all over!"The Supreme Commander gestured behind himself, to where he and Voca came from. "If you recall, we've a military base attached via bridge down the pathway," Koldar stated, "I've been spending much time there to gather information, on top of sending out orders to units across the stars and around Arcose itself. There also is the Palace library I've been acquiring information from, too."He stepped back forward, raising his index finger up and further explaining, "The Mazoku Dominion, itself, are capable of adjusting its ranks, if shown how to do so. It would be important to keep this alliance going, as we've common ground with enemies we've acquired... At one point, I feel the Earth may push its attention over here with this war happening, and they currently have the strongest force in the universe at the current time! Thus, we must make use of the gravity chambers and any sort of funds that we have to assist all of us in growing power to resist such. I've made an effort to have an upgrade to palace training grounds be installed, which are open use between Mazoku and Arcosian forces. I'm also working to gather equipment for our soldiers to train with while under my supervision... We have a lot to catch up with."( Abzerute your go!)

"No doubt through interference from Retsu..." the former Emperor sighed when Koldar mentioned the lack of effect the pirates had been having with the SSE. "Honestly, he was so desperate for a war with the Saiyans, he never stopped to consider actually preparing for one that would ensure our victory without our being discovered. Such a little control freak... ironic as it was that he couldn't even control that pet of his." he said, shaking his head disparagingly. Abzerute smirked though when Koldar mentioned the library. "You may have come across missing entries here and there... I made certain when I died that Retsu wouldn't gain anything that I deemed would prove detrimental to anything in the short or long term." he said. "Including the existence of certain things on a certain pair of worlds." he said, glancing towards the Heran as he was unsure how much Koldar's subordinate knew regarding the Dragon Balls... that and the still conscious Arcosian Guard in the room. "I think we can both agree that if Retsu had gotten wind of those particulars, we would quite possibly be in an even worse state of affairs than we already are." the bronze Arcosian mused. Abzerute rubbed his chin in thought at the prospect of Earth entering the galactic war. "Now that raises an interesting question. Which side right now would Earth be more willing to align themselves with? They did have ties and a treaty with the Arcosian Empire under Wyntre's rule, although I never got the chance to properly formerly re-establish those due to the elections they were running, along with my untimely demise..." he mused, dismissing the possibility that Retsu may have tried to re-establish those ties when the fool had been Emperor. "And the wounds from the Saiyan invasion of Earth under Queen Zucceta would probably still be fresh enough..." the bronze Arcosian considered. "But on the other hand, Xylo's track record thus far doesn't seem to indicate that the current Premier of Earth," he said, holding up a finger for clarification, "whom I presume to still be that Vi something or other fellow, the Namekians track record so far wouldn't indicate any probability of Earth aligning with the Mazoku Dominion in order to take on the Solar Saiyan Empire." Abzerute hypothesised. "Knowing our luck thus far in this war, Earth will be more than likely to align itself with whomever they believe to be on the winning side in this war... which I'm guessing would appear to be the Solar Saiyan Empire by a slim margin at this moment in time?" he inquired of the two military officers. "Although from your report it seems like you've already come to the same conclusion." said the former Emperor, rubbing the back of his neck, his tail flicking in the air behind him. "Very well then. I suggest we kill two birds with one stone as the expression goes." he said, as he began to try and make his way towards the military base portion of the capital. "You said earlier that you wished to only pass on the mantle to one who could handle themselves against their subordinates. And we both acknowledge that we need to gather more power to face the threat that Earth poses should it ally itself with the Solar Saiyan Empire in this war." Abzerute began to explain. "The last setting I had trained under was a gravity field eighty times that of Earth's own. Two birds, one stone Supreme Commander Koldar."( Koldar Frost you're turn~)

"I doubt Restu would know of such objects," Koldar responded to the young arcosian confidently, "Retsu had more preoccupied with reclaiming the throne in the traditional sense of things... In fact, this war was bound to come to Arcose, after it was revived strangely by the objects you speak of! I still know not their operation and would have inquire to the Namekians of the Dominion on their operation on why they worked... But what I DO know is, that which destroyed Arcose works with the Earth, and they do not..."Koldar paused, pointing to Abzerute with his index finger, "They do not intend to join this war unless threatened themselves. If anything, the SSE grabbing for planets, since they tried to take the Earth itself under Zucceta's control, would suggest that they're NOT going ally with the SSE... This is a pure bag grab from the SSE and is going to damn everyone under their control."Abzerute mentioned the inability that the Earth would align with the Mazoku, which Koldar agreed with, stating, "This is correct, and they won't join us either, due to how it was actually because of Wyntre that we did NOT have the Earth's forces act as reinforcement to our defense against Zucceta's attack years ago..! Thusly, they are their own force. We will not see them allied with the SSE... But yes, if I am wrong, which I GREATLY DOUBT WILL OCCUR, but I am open to thought of, we must be prepared."Koldar withdrew his pointing hand to his chest, crossing his arm over the other. "We should only act against planets owned by the SSE, and not against the Mazoku Dominion. They are, after all, our allies in this endeavor, and if they call upon us to assist in reclaiming a planet or assaulting a planet the SSE owns, we should thusly reply positively to the call. We cannot look at the Earth until we have a great number of soldiers under our control... It is, as I unfortunately mentioned in that popularity graph, a damned breeding ground for our adversaries... INCLUDING QUEEN ZUCCETA, who I saw with my own eyes on the planet behind a mask of an apparent, 'hero,' of Earth! As much as it pains my old heart to admit..!"( Abzerute back to you! )

So Retsu was completely in the dark about the Dragon Balls. That was good to know, especially since that bastard was still out there somewhere... Abzerute stops as Koldar continues speaking, then tilted his head in thought, rubbing his chin before he began to chuckle. "Sorry, the image of Zucceta in one of those hero getups amuses me for some reason." he said before rubbing the back of his head as he considered something. "I suppose I'd best make my revival known though... even if only to address the situation between the Dominion and the Arcosian Empire." said Abzerute as he thought of his situation. "It may even cause the Solar Saiyan Empire to pause for a moment, since a new leader of one of the factions involved in the war would be present, and thus in their view probably open to re-negotiations, which could buy our own forces time to recover." the bronze Arcosian mused. "After I reclaim my position from you of course." he said, looking over his shoulder towards the military Arcosian. "The only question now is, would you like to settle that particular issue here, or in the gravity chamber?" Abzerute inquired of the Supreme Commander. ( Koldar Frost)

The question then came about the battle for the throne... In essence, it was more likely to be a training session between the two! Yet, there was the matter of making Abzerute's knowledge of the throne known. To this, the Supreme Commander had a new thought spark to him, Koldar raising his hand up and stating, "Yes, that is something we have to address! We've the chamber ready and at disposal, should you wish to demonstrate your prowess in a heavier environment. Voca and I would need to see to your ability in combat, but as for announcing your return..."He pointed to Abzerute with a pause, stating, "We cannot have word of your return being spread so quickly... Allow me to explain."Koldar pointed his index finger into the air and spun it in a circle, as he begun to talk. "In the spectrum of things, we are heavily behind in power to our many adversaries. I, myself, am greatly weaker than those who attacked Arcose just recently from the SSE. You are stronger than I am, from what I feel, but you are not nearly strong enough to handle them... And it is because of that that I request you train, in secret. Under an operative name, rather than your actual name.""Koldar, are you implying he joins Lukkass's unit," Voca spoke up, clearly questioning it, "They- HE handles the dark and dirty parts of our missions, and you insist he works with him?! A guy claims to have come back from actual death and hell!?""That is not what I mean," Koldar retorted, turning to Voca to continue the retort, "I want him to LEAD that unit! Think about it..!"Koldar turned back to Abzerute, as he questioned, "Aside from these grunts, and us two here, no one knows you live, right? Then this means you can do things from behind the scenes, give me advice on what to do as a course of action, and also handle any opposition along the way that might try to get in our way when we go try to reclaim one of our worlds..! Garner the attention of someone trying defend or attack the world, and when that's done you vanish from sight, to build your strength further. Lukkass is an ass, at times, but he's someone you'd want under your wing... Hell, he might be as strong as Voca is, right now, since he's been away for so long to get himself under control. Maybe even stronger..!"( Abzerute Koldar just had a new thought on something to do! )

The bronze Arcosian raised an eyebrow before smirking and slowly clapping his hands together. "Well, well, well." he said, punctuating each with a clap before folding his arms across his chest. "It seems that you've definitely picked up a few things since becoming Emperor, I mean Supreme Commander." he said with a faux bow towards Koldar. "And whilst I've picked up a trick or two to manage the power difference during my tenure in Hell, I would rather not have to rely on it." admitted Abzerute as he considered Koldar's proposed scheme. It did have its merits, would allow him to increase his power outside of training sessions as well as giving him hands on intelligence on the state of affairs in the war and the Empire itself. However. "There is one small issue that I can see with this plan of yours Koldar." said the bronze Arcosian, gesturing to himself as he spoke. "How many bronze Arcosians are there wandering around the galaxy?" he inquired with a sardonic smirk. "Unless you've got a holographic body overlay module or something along those lines lying around somewhere that can disguise my physical appearance?" Abzerute asked, running through possible appearances that would work for his particular anatomy... as well as his little arm growing trick that he'd picked up with this new body of his.

Koldar snickered at Abzerute's questioning and bowing to him, before stating, "Young Abzerute, you don't think I've learned a few tricks to prepare for some unsavory jobs during the seventy plus years I've served the Arcosian military?"The Supreme Commander laughed a bit more, his hands going to his hips to emphasize this some more! "That is not much of an issue. And Lukkass, on top of, is dedicated to the darker missions that need doing, so you'll be fine," he further explained, becoming a bit more serious with a smile, "We'll be having you also meet General Taiga, who should either be at Kanassa with one of the recruits for training, or having headed towards Yardrat, if there had been a communications error and my request for additional reinforcements having been delayed... Regardless, I'll be having you meet the General. In the meantime, you, soldier! Bring your partner to the medical bay quickly and then head to the base to have a message be relayed to General Taiga, requesting his return to Arcose briefly! We have plans to discuss with him, as well as needed updates on his progress and those on Kanassa."( Abzerute, here's your response! I think we should start wrapping this up soon. What say you?)

The bronze Arcosian shrugged at Koldars question. "You seemed to me, to be more the type of commander who'd want to keep his hands away from such underhandedness." he merely replied with a smirk. "I do wonder how well this Lukkass will handle surrendering his command to a veritable unknown. Assuming we're keeping my revival a secret from him as well in order to keep the circle of people who know manageable." Abzerute mused.
As the Arcosian guard went to collect the Namekian, the bronze Arcosian gave a polite cough. "I would suggest you help convince your comrade there to forget he ever saw me. We don't want to lose any more soldiers than we need to. We are in a war after all, and need all the hands we can get on deck." he partially suggested, whilst in reality it was more akin to an order. "I would hate to see him suffer a terrible accident because he couldn't keep his mouth shut." the former Emperor said politely, even as his tail flexed in the air behind him. He returned his focus to Koldar. "Lead the way Supreme Commander." he said before following Koldar and his Heran companion.
Will take PL for this with Suppressed Form bonus :3
