[Heavy Training Weights On]
The good doctor tapped the various controls in his podchair as he, Pah'mazhan, and about eight Messengers flew through the green skies of Namek. Kouda kept watch on the installed radar in his podchair that told him where the nearest village might be. They had flown out of the Northern Scar about an ago on their search for Namekian Villages.
The radar within the podchair began beeping faster as a big cluster of large moving organisms approached.
"We draw near" Kouda nearly whispered into his communicator. Kouda motioned for Pah'mazhan to stop.
"We will let the Messengers make the first move. Their weak power levels will blend in nicely with these naive village folk."
Kouda hovered over to two Messengers who were surveying the area, awaiting for their next move.
"You two, I need you to sneak into the village and grab any stragglers you find on the sides of the village. Take them immediately to the ship. The Ee's will know exactly what to do with them. As you leave, we will raid the village and complete the mission. But you must hurry."
The two messengers looked at each other and then at Kouda before finally nodding.
As they left, Kouda hovered over to Pah'mazhan.
"The villagers will eventually realize that there are missing villagers and will be on high caution. These messengers need to leave before then. We'll swarm the village before they realize something is amiss" Kouda lightly chuckled.
A minute later, a message arrived on Doctor Kouda's communicator. The two scouting messengers were successful and were enroute to the Golden Fox.
"It's time. Ready your weapons."
Kouda began flying towards the village. It was nothing more than a collection of huts surrounding a small cliff of rocks. A river coursed through nearby. The sound of it's steady current was louder than the gentle rumblings of the villager's daily lives. Kouda could spot several Namekians already. They appeared green with pink striations on their limbs. Small antennas dangled from their foreheads as they toiled away at agricultural labor. At the center of the village, was the cliff that the village was built around. There appeared to be a fountain at the wall of the cliff where the statue of a young namekian child was sculpted into the cliff wall.
Kouda began descending towards the ground with the rest of the messengers. His pod chair slightly hovering above the grass, causing the many cobalt blades to stir.
A namekian screamed and pointed as they caught sight of the band of red hooded strangers.
In response, Kouda raised his claw and bowed his head.
"No, no, no, there's no need for that sort of thing."
At this point, the docile namekians were now fully aware of their arrival. There was a mixture of expressions on their faces. Kouda could spot anger, confusion, fear, relief, and tranquility. Some Namekians were beginning to rush the frightened children into round huts in an attempt to hide them.
A thin, sagging Namekian with a crooked cane approached them. He appeared to be their leader or village elder.
"Who are you? Why are you here? We can offer you food and shelter if that is what you and your friends seek."
"I'm not here for that," Kouda's eyes gleamed.
The elder took a step back as he began to feel an ill sense of malevolence coming from Kouda's stare.
"Then I'm afraid there is nothing for you here. You should leave," the elder grumbled, regaining his composure.
Kouda turned his head slightly to glance at Pah'mazhan who was standing beside him. The bioandroid's hand patiently resting on the pommel of his plasma blade. He then glanced back at the elder.
"We wish to speak to your people. They deserve a deep examination from our highly advanced medical equipment. We all have so much to learn...it would only benefit all of us, really. I believe there's so much..."
Kouda spun his claw lightly, trying to remember the word.
"...potential in them. I can almost taste it," Kouda's tail began to slither out of the pod chair and slightly hang over the edge of it.
"I'm certain Pah'mazhan will taste it too."
Kouda's eyes shone as the slits of his reptilian eyes quickly glanced at Pah'mazhan's sword and then back at the villagers.
The elder grimaced, slashing the air with his arm in a gesture of disapproval.
"No. I would never trust you with the lives of my people!" the elder namekian yelled at Kouda. After it seemed he would not compromise, the Messengers raised their wrist blasters at the nearby Namekians. One by one, the Messengers began gathering villagers and detaining them by placing magnetic cuffs on them. They urged any unwilling villager by pushing the nozzle of their wrist blaster against their backs.
A dark and sinister laugh began to rumble out of Kouda's mouth as the shadow of his hood began to conceal more of his face.
"Oh, there's no need to worry.
You have every reason to trust in me.
You see...
I'm a doctor."
The shadow of his hood could not conceal the spreading, dagger-teethed grin on Kouda's face.

((Thread PL: 80,447. Medium Weights OFF)) ((Bing's arrival here takes place After the Thread: Showdown)) An uneasy feeling washed over Bing as his eyes jerked open during a meditation session near the Village's large lake. He stood up, walking briskly towards the Village Elder. He arrived at Elder Sulug's garden, where the Elder had dropped his staff. He looked to Bing with a worried expression, he felt that strange presence as well it seemed. Bing looked towards the East, where a familiar power had closed in on a nearby village. "You feel that too right?" Elder Sulug nodded slowly "...yes...It seems the Red Eclipse have moved towards Dende Village." Sulug looked towards the ground, focusing intensely on sensing the evil group. After a few moments he opened his eyes and looked towards Bing with a worried smile "They haven't done anything to the villagers yet, I can still sense the life energy of all of the Villagers. You should be able to reach them before they harm anyone." Bing nodded as he wasted no time taking off in the direction of the Red Eclipse and it's Messengers. He landed on a nearby rocky plateau and watched the scene from above, trying to get a feel for the situation before jumping in. It seemed the Namekians were being herded away in chains, most likely for "Research". He was certain he would be sensed before reaching them, as it seemed the one known as Pah'Mazhan had a sort of lock on Bing's energy, he would have sensed Bing coming from a mile away regardless of Power Suppression. He pulled Donna out of the pouch she normally rested in, and tapped a small button on the right temple of the glasses. She activated with a small beeping noise, it could almost be considered her Catchphrase. "What's going on Bing? Something exciting I hope!" She looked at the scene below and understood the situation entirely "...Oh, that's what we're dealing with. So, what's the gameplan then?" Bing crouched down, watching the scene below intently. They had just about finished rounding up all the complacent Namekians, though there were still a few stragglers trying their best to resist by hiding. Bing shrugged, unsure of how to proceed. It would be for the best to get there before anything they were trying to do was accomplished, but if Pah'Mazhan or Kouda distracted Bing long enough, he knew they would escape with the Namekian prisoners easily. "I think we'll have to enact Backup Plan C: Winging It." Donna faked a surprised gasp "Oh no, Plan C?! Have we really sunken that low, captain?" Bing nodded as he stood up "Looks like it, Let's get going shall we?" He hopped off the Plateau and flew down towards the Village. Bing arrived on the scene in style, kicking a Messenger in the face and sending him flying into a nearby lake. He landed in the middle of the action, Messengers and Namekians stopped in their tracks as the overly-heroic human addressed Doctor Kouda with a very angry expression on his face "I knew you'd do something like this to begin your 'Research'. Couldn't you just have asked nicely? You are a Doctor aren't you?" His voice was filled with sarcasm and a hint of annoyance as the group of Messengers aimed their wrist blasters straight at him. He didn't pay any attention to the messenger however, their pea-shooters wouldn't cause much trouble, especially not if he had to show off his new transformation. He was more focused on Pah'Mazhan, it was clear the Robotic Warrior was intent on fighting Bing, he just wasn't sure if He'd try anything. It would be clear to the Red Eclipse at this point that Bing was not here to mess around. His power was un-suppressed and it was quite high. He lifted up a single finger as he continued speaking "I'll give you exactly one chance Kouda, let the Namekians go and leave this planet, and I'll let you go without harming anyone else who works for you." This offer was serious, but he knew the Good Doctor would never accept these terms if he was as villainous as Bing expected. Donna beeped as she began speaking angrily towards Kouda "NO MERCY, KILL THE LIZARD!" It wasn't exactly what Bing would call a heroic quote in the slightest, but it might have strucken fear in the hearts of a couple of the Messengers. He waited for Doctor Kouda's response, curious to how the strange alien might react to Bing's ridiculously nice proposal.

[Heavy Weights ON, Power Suppressed: 5] Pah'mazhan yawned as he followed Kouda and the other messengers of the Red Eclipse through planet Namek. The early morning air had mildew steeped on the grass, an odd observation even by the bio android's own estimations. As they were flying, Pah'mazhan kept a close eye on his companion, Doctor Kouda. His hoverchair had lights shining and different formulas and flight paths showing on the screen, the characters in a language alien to the other Eclipse messengers. Pah'mazhan recognized them immediately, however, as being Ee's markings. Clever, Kouda. Should someone steal your pod, it would be all but useless to them. Good move. From what little the doctor told him before they left, they would be doing Namekian abductions for their own personal research, something the bio android had minor qualms with. He dared not bring it up to the doctor, but he was sure not to vocalize his opinion. No matter how much more powerful Pah'mazhan was, he still couldn't help but feel like he would be disappointing the Doctor by speaking out. So he remained silent, at least for the time being.
When they finally approached the village, Pah'mazhan watched as Kouda spouted orders to the other messengers, outlining the plan to kidnap a few of the natives before the main Eclipse force moved in on the village, proper. An excellent move, no doubt to secure their own interests first and foremost. Kouda spoke to Pah'mazhan after the orders were given. "The villagers will eventually realize that there are missing villagers and will be on high caution. These messengers need to leave before then. We'll swarm the village before they realize something is amiss" Kouda lightly chuckled. Nodding his head in approval, Pah'mazhan added,
"Good move, Doctor. Although, I would have preferred if we could take willing patients first. You see, I-" However, the bio android was nearly immediately cut off by a beep on Kouda's communicator, indicating that the two messengers were successful in their abduction. Pah'mazhan gulped.
As Kouda and the Namekian elder conversed, he couldn't help but feel a growing sense of unease. The air grew heavy, as if a large amount of precipitation was in the air. He could feel that something wasn't right. The talks weren't going as smoothly as the bio android would have liked, and he suddenly felt like he was on the defensive. He was fading in and out of the conversation, suddenly feeling as if there was something wrong with the area around him. Out of pure instinct, he put his hand on the pommel of his sword, ready to attack if somebody were to strike.
Focusing his mind, he dispelled the slogging thoughts that ailed him as the conversation took place. "Then I'm afraid there is nothing for you here. You should leave," the elder grumbled, regaining his composure. Kouda motioned toward Pah'mazhan, and the elder locked eyes with the bio android briefly, and his eyes dropped to the bio android's hand on the hilt of his sword. Shaking his head, he started, "I'm sorry, but-" But again he was cut off, again by Doctor Kouda. He was throwing thinly veiled threats, but before Pah'mazhan could react he suddenly got chills running down his spine. His Ki sensing technique has finally paid off, it would seem. Looking around, he locked on to a familiar power... Bing. His vision suddenly focused on a rocky outcropping nearby, and he was almost certain that Bing was located there. That poor fool, Komoto certainly pulled the wool over his eyes on this one.
Almost on cue, Bing appeared, attacking one of the Red Eclipse messengers as part of his grand entrance. Raising his eyebrows toward the human, and saying, "Ah, our illustrious hero returns to the fray."
Pah'mazhan listened to Bing's warning tersely, but when he finished Pah'mazhan looked at him coldly. "Bing, you simply do not understand our mission. What we're doing is for the betterment of the Ee's, Kouda's race." Walking up to Bing until he was at arm's length, he continued talking, hands up in a sign of peace. "I know we don't see eye to eye, but this isn't for our own selfish gain. Have you ever been to planet Arcose? There's an entire race of people enslaved there, and we're trying to free them."
Turning to look at Kouda, Pah'mazhan shrugged and said, "You finish it, I only know what you told me, Doctor."

"I'm sorry, but-" Pah'mazhan began but was immediately cut off by Kouda. The good doctor didn't want to lose his pressure on the elder. He would apologize to the bioandroid afterward. Time was running thin everyday that past. There was no room for hesitation. They needed the data. Above all else. The namekians must give in. Of course. Of course.
In a blink of an eye, a green blur passed by Kouda's eyes and sent a messenger skipping across the ground with a heavy snap of a kick. Pah'mazhan seemed to be very aware of the situation as he was already moving towards the interloper. It was Bing the Human.
Kouda growled as the dust settled around Bing. The human seemed quite confident and determined. In a stance ready to fight, the human positioned himself between the namekians and Kouda. Why must he get in the way?! Kouda began squeezing the sides of his pod-chair in fury.
Pah'mazhan made a sly remark towards the human.
Almost ignoring the bioandroid's comment, Bing lifted a pointed finger at Kouda and gave out a loud ultimatum to The Red Eclipse present.
"Valiant words belonging to a fool," Kouda mumbled, "how typical"
Before Kouda could continue making threats, Pah'mazhan began speaking. It was clear that he had no intention of being interrupted this time.
"Bing, you simply do not understand our mission. What we're doing is for the betterment of the Ee's, Kouda's race."
Kouda was astonished as Pah'mazhan began walking towards Bing, unarmed. What was Pah'mazhan thinking?!
"I know we don't see eye to eye, but this isn't for our own selfish gain. Have you ever been to planet Arcose? There's an entire race of people enslaved there, and we're trying to free them."
Kouda's enraged grip on his chair began to loosen. Rage was clouding his mind, his judgement. Could that be it? Or is Pah'mazhan wrong in trying to reason with the naive human? No, this human didn't know much. This was certain. Pah'mazhan turned to look at Kouda who was buried beneath the shadow of his hood contemplating on the matter. The bioandroid had spoken some truth. It seemed that between Kouda and Bing, Pah'mazhan was the voice of reason. Without looking up, Kouda finally spoke to Bing the Human.
"You're fighting to save this village while my own people remain slaves to a tyrannical empire. The data we can get from these Namekian' bodies is essential to our work. Yet you stand here before me. A savior? Do you not realize that your heroics are ensuring the suffering of my people? I won't let anyone stand in my way. Not when my people are counting on me!"
Kouda could feel the blood boiling inside of his body. Pah'mazhan's previous suggestions were lingering in his mind but he was not sure if they were worth swaying him yet.
"I have seen enough betrayal in my lifetime. Dependency on their consensus will not stop me."
The good doctor's red aura began to flare up immediately after he spoke his words.
Kouda saw Pah'mazhan looking at him. In the bioandroid's eyes, he saw a nostalgic stare that shook him.
"Kouda, what's wrong?"
The second long memory ran through his mind like a knife entering flesh.
Perhaps with more reasoning and sense, Kouda's rage would falter but at the present moment it seemed that Kouda was determined to remain adamant even if Pah'mazhan was not willing to fight Bing the Human. Even then, Kouda ordered the messengers to lower their weapons and release the namekians. This was his ordeal at the moment. He would wait for Bing's response to decide whether to attack or not.

Bing blinked in confusion. It seemed that, surprisingly, the Red Eclipse didn't want to fight. Pah'Mazhan walked towards Bing with his hands up, gesturing he meant no harm. He was certain that there was something going on here, he just wasn't sure what. Bing took a single step back, making sure there was at least some distance between the two. Pah'Mazhan began speaking of a race of people who were enslaved on Arcose, apparently Doctor Kouda's race was enslaved and they were trying to free them. Bing processed this information, but he wasn't sure how to respond. There was a very real chance that this was a trick, but the Warrior seemed so sincere. It was then that Kouda yelled out in a fit of rage, which worried Bing even more.
Kouda seemed to be working towards the goal of saving his people, but that didn't make any sense to Bing. What would performing experiments on Namekians do to help his people? It seemed Kouda had defeated his own original purpose here, as he ordered his men away, letting the Namekians free. This whole ordeal was so bewildering Bing wasn't sure how to respond.
He took off his shades, turned them off and put them away in the pouch on his belt, not wanting Donna to interfere in the next few moments. Bing spoke sincerely "Listen, I know you want to help your people, but trying to kidnap an entire village is not the way to go about it! By going about it this way you're being just as villainous as those who enslave your people. If you really need to perform experiments, I'm sure you would be able to find at least a few willing Namekians here or there." He tried stepping past Pah'Mazhan to get closer to Kouda. If Pah'Mazhan did not allow him to pass he would understand the reasoning, and stay where he is.
Regardless of whether or not Pah'Mazhan allowed him to pass Bing would speak once again "Do you really want to put another race through something as terrible as what yours is going through? The torment and the pain, is it really worth it to steal these people away from their homes unwillingly and possibly kill them? Is what you're doing any better than what those on Planet Arcose are doing? You must agree that this isn't right. I mean, you already called off the capture, so you must agree with me on some level." He was very worried about how Kouda would react. He hoped that Kouda would see what Bing was talking about, but there was always a very large chance this attempt at democracy and reasoning would fail miserably. I mean, Bing did just insinuate that what Kouda was doing could be seen as just as bad as the Arcosians, which could set off the Ee's temper.
He waited for Kouda's response with a worried expression, he wasn't sure how the Lizard-man was going to react.

[Been gone for awhile and Pah'mazhan asked me to skip him]
Fury had arisen in the good doctor from what Kouda believed to be the human's ignorance. This human was no hero. Not if he chose to neglect the well-being of one people for another. But then what did that mean for himself? It seemed that there was more weight to the human's words than Kouda had originally believed. He looked over at Pah'mazhan. In the bioandroid's reptilian eyes, he saw his own reflection. What was Kouda becoming?
Such thoughts were impairing to the mission but perhaps not. Was he in clarity or acting in irrationality? Pah'mazhan's stare seemed to suggest that Kouda was acting in the latter. Kouda nodded at Pah'mazhan. He already could sense what the bioandroid was going to say.
Kouda tapped a button on the chairs communicator.
"Comrades, you have a new objective. Bring the subjects back to the village and see to it that they are safe. Then return to hangar."
Kouda closed the transmission and began tapping his clawed fingers on the rim of his chair.
"We will return the villagers we aapprehended. In addition, our clan will leave this village for now."
Kouda said looking at the Elder. On signal, the red ninjas retreated from the village and back to their known rendezvous point. He then continued.
"Were it not for Pah'mazhan and Bing the Human, this situation would have ended differently. You have them to thank."
Kouda then turned to the human Bing.
"I did not return the namekians because of your threats, but because of your words. And i can appreciate that. We will ask consent for our research from tje namekians. I will remember this day, Bing the human. There is a potential in you that i see now. It seems to have piqued my interest in you. For my work or for worse. We will be watching you..."
Kouda's tail slithered back into the chair as Kouda's chair began as ascending into the green sky.

Bing smiled as Kouda pulled his men away, and called off his kidnapping. The Lizard Doctor spoke towards Bing and told him that he appreciated Bing's words. It seemed that this problem had been solved through words and not violence. Bing spoke in a surprised tone "I...I'm glad we could end this peacefully. Thank you Doctor." The Doctor walked back to his hover-chair and floated away.
Bing looked towards Pah'Mazhan and spoke to him "I suppose I also have you to thank. If you had tried to attack me then I probably wouldn't have been able to get through to Doctor Kouda." He extended his hand towards the Robotic man to give him a handshake, as a sign of good-will and thanks.
Regardless of whether or not Pah'Mazhan would take his handshake, Bing would step away shortly after. He'd give a quick wave as he flew off into the distance, leaving the Village behind. Donna spoke in a confused tone "Wait, what just happened? Did you just let them leave?" Bing smiled as he replied "I guess I did."

Nodding in agreement to the Doctor's words, Pah'mazhan smiled as he watched his friend lift off into the sky. "This situation was resolved in the most mathematically impossible way. My logic analysis proves as such..." looking back to Bing, he shook his hand firmly before continuing. "but I'm glad that it did. I'm happy that we didn't need to fight, Bing. At least as hostiles." Smiling again at the human, Pah'mazhan turned his back to the human and began walking toward the Namekians, hands open in a sign of peace. I apologize for earlier, there was a... miscalculation on our parts."
Sitting down amongst some of of the younger namekian children, the bio android looked at them with weary eyes and said, "I'm interested in your culture, if you'd oblige me." Turning his head and watching Bing fly and leave the village as well, Pah'mazhan marked this village in his onboard map in his room. This will be where I learn of the Namekian culture. Knowledge is power, as they say. The elder, hobbled as he was, took a seat in front of the bio android and coughed.
"You see, this village was founded by the great elder before me, known as Zither. Back when Namek was a peaceful planet, before it was invaded by alien monsters like you!" Winking at Pah'mazhan, the bio android grinned and shrugged. Motioning for the elder to continue, Pah'mazhan listened intently, genuinely interested.
