The smog seemed extra heavy outside Biodome #12. It was an intentional choice, to have his building be so close to the edge. Not only was the property cheap given the obvious risks if attacked, but it allowed his scientists quick access to the polluted air for study. Creed sipped on a glass of Scotch, staring out at the almost red exterior of Tech Tech. If things went according to plan, he would become the richest man on Tech Tech. Cybernetics which allowed for complete survivability out in the Exterior planes, produced at a cheap price allowing for world wide access. Not only would Creed and his company be hailed as heroes to the wider masses but he would also have an Iron grip over the entire planet. If it didn’t go the direction he wanted it to go, all it would take would be a slight change in brain chemistry, allowed of course through the subtle invasiveness of the cybernetics. But no one would care at that point, they’d have their whole planet back. Creed returned to his desk and set down the glass, picking up the new Mask for his suit which he had been developing. After examining it for a bit his assistant would call for him. Creed leaned to the speaker.

    “Yes Rine?”

    “Mr.Creed, your meeting with the board is in ten minutes”

    “Thank you, I’ll be right down

    Creed set the mask back down on his desk. There was no need to worry about anyone seeing it, no one but he was allowed up here. If anyone did manage to enter… Well, he made the suit for a reason. He took one last look at it and smirked slightly. There was no word in the English language which could describe his excitement for the moment of finally donning the suit.


    The meeting was around 5 minutes from starting by the time Creed made his way down. Of course he had to make a few stops, flirting and fraternizing with his various employees or possible investors. Through the largely glass room he could see that the majority of the board had gotten there early. He expected a few to be late, they were after all some of the richest men Tech Tech had to offer. Creed didn’t mind so long as their funding kept rolling in. He lit up a cigarette before entering into the meeting room. With a snap all of the glass in the rooms would Polarize. No risks, not anymore. Creed inhaled deeply before letting the smoke escape into the room, only for it to be vented out by the various air filtration units in the room. There was no need to worry about silly things such as Lung damage with the new advent of their Lung filtration units.

    “Gentleman, it’s good to see you here today. I hope the biodome trams weren’t too busy?”

    Some of the men began laughing at the remark. As if they, the most powerful men on the planet, would ever stoop to using “Public Transportation”.

    “Well my friends, I think it would be best if we started early. No one, myself included, wishes to stay here longer than needed” He would lean over and press an intercom button.

    “Rine would you be a dear and send out a message to all Board Members who are late that we are starting now?”

    “Of course Mr. Creed”

    “Thank you Rine”

  It was understandable to Dr. Grey that she would value strength obtained through hard work and training one's body rather then taking the easy way out and using genetic modification. After all Polaris isn't a mutant and yet has become one of the most powerful beings in the universe, and yet he still feels like there is room for improvement. After all there are so many people in the universe who are as disposable as cardboard to most fighters. Just reading about the devastation of the Battle of Planet Pepper. Where the casualty rate of Ultramarines was a few thousand losses while the ones who caused those casualties have recorded power levels that were substantially high and were higher then the entire group that got killed. He believes that not only technology can and should advance so should people as well.

"My dear Kusubu, I assure you that these creations are no different then using and breeding Saibamen. However if it's improvement for fighting you wish I do plan on creating battle simulations against inventions of my design and help collect the data to give out analyses on where the test subjects can improve in. Hopefully I can be able to do this to help increase the capabilities of the Imperial Patrolmen as well. They definitely need it more after all! And frankly I think they need to also get a few attitude adjustments if you ask me. Quite frankly they have been quite rude to me and even given me a quite brutish alias, and now everyone refers to me as "The Butcher" and frankly I am a bit insulted." Dr. Grey said.

  Morton is just glad that he is in the pilot's seat instead of in the same room as that demon woman because she really scares him. After all he tried to be friendly and polite to Lilith Nevermore and was threatened. And Kusubu doesn't seem to be in the mood to be making friends or even in the mood to be going through this. Nevertheless he is the only one who can pilot this spaceship so as long as he can stay far away from her as possible he'll be safe. At least, he can only hope.

Dr. Grey listened to Kusubu's short story about how she and Polaris met. Short and to the point. Might as well tell her why he bothered.

"Because Ms. Kusubu, I was wondering how Polaris managed to get such an interesting individual into his empire. You see Demons aren't exactly common in this dimension. As a scientist who yearns to know the inner workings of everything from people to the universe itself, I often found myself get quite curious and ask questions. All I want is to simply know all that there is to know. And then after that I can simply take everything that there is now and improve upon them. For a universe created by these so called Shinjins, frankly I think they didn't barely put in any effort." Dr. Grey said.

A few minutes have passed while on their trek to Tech-Tech.

Andrew C. Creed

    “That’d be a wonderful idea Andrew” The oblivious fool said. “I’m open on-”

    An explosion echoed throughout the biodome. Alarms weren’t sounding, so no damage to the Dome itself. Creed quickly walked up to the window as the various board members shuffled out of the room. One of the larger mining companies seemed to of been struck. It had sustained a substantial amount of damage. Five figures stood around the newly formed hole, followed up by three more figures minutes later. Creed grinned slightly as they continued their barrage at the building. Eco Terrorists, powerful ones at that. New targets to test his upgrades.
    
    “Rine, contact Macer’s driver and get him to fly towards the chaos. I think I just found a way to take care of both problems” He would casually exit the board room as various security personnel escorted out employees.

    “The driver has been informed. What exactly are you planning?”

    “Our friend is going to sadly die in collateral damage. Divert some funds for the funeral”

    “Anything else?”

    “Get me the suspected numbers of dead so far”

    “Around 500 employees, entire twelfth floor was turned to ash. Seems around 10 dead from the initial attack and an estimated 30 more are on the way. Injured are unknown currently”

    Creed would stop just before reaching his office. It wouldn’t appear he would have to hold back given the massive amount of damage done so far. It could easily just be blamed on the terrorists. This would be fun. A large bookcase would slide to the side as Creed entered his office. Inside would be an elevator into his workshop. “Let’s cause some more chaos”

---

    “Where are you taking us?!” Macer shouted in panic as various cars drove in the opposite direction. They were heading straight for the epicenter of the attack. “I was told to bring you to the bunker Mr. Creed had built”

    “I don’t care what you were told, you work for me and I demand you go the other-”

    The roof of the vehicle would slowly be torn away, revealing an armored figure with a green cloak. It’s emerald eyes were almost blinding as they looked at the cowering Tech Tech.

    “Hello, Macer” It said with a metallic voice. Two gunshots came from the driver, who attempted to get the figure off their limo. A brave man, but pathetic nonetheless. A beam would fire from Creed’s right eye, incinerating the driver’s left arm and melting the gun to his right. “I would suggest staying out of this” It said before grabbing Macer and letting the car go. Creed would examine the small being, contemplating the best way to end it.

    “L-let me go, please! I’ll pay you anything! I can make you the rich-” Creed would flick him in the eye, popping it in the socket. He would shout in pain.

    “Don’t flatter yourself Macer”

    “Did Creed set you up to this?! I’ll agree to the damn plan, I’ll give him all my stocks! Please don’t kill me!”

    Creed would pull him a bit closer, scanning over the tiny figure. Macer’s heart was racing at incredible speeds. Good, he was scared. Creed would raise a hand as if to punch the being, causing him to involuntarily shoot up his hands to defend himself. The metallic gauntlet would unfold it’s fist and grab the small arm, crushing it into a bloody pulp before being completely ripped off. “You had your chance Macer. No one-” He would pull Macer to be face to face. “-says no to Andrew Creed” He would hold him out, activating the eye beams once more. Slowly he would slice away at the creature, starting at the legs until reaching his midsection. After which he simply let Macer go to fall to his death.

    “Macer is dead. Any change for the attack?”

    “50 total dead, still unknown amount of injured. Police are heading in to deal with it”

    Creed would burst forward, stopping just outside the main area of attack. Five of the terrorists simply stood in air, taking pot shots at random civilians. He crossed his arms and waited for the fools to notice him. Might as well test out the shielding while he had the chance.

It was then that everyone turned to notice the explosion nearby. The Tech-Tech aliens being worried and sweating nervously at this.

"O-oh oh no! Those threats were serious after all! This is terrible." Doabiar said.

Dr. Grey get a big grin on his face before clasping his hands together.

"Never fear my extraterrestrial acquaintances, as Galactic Empire representatives we shall have the honor of helping you all by fending off these terrorists." Dr. Grey announced.

"Really, I mean not that we're not thankful but you don't have to-"

"Oh do not fret Doabiar, after all we are in an alliance so we might as well honor that alliance by helping this planet when it's being threatened by outside threats." Dr. Grey said patting the small elderly man on the head.

"Oh thank you good sir, your kindness will be repaid to you all greatly if you can get rid of those saboteurs." Doabiar says.

"The Galactic Empire doesn't just try my dear sir, we do all that we are capable of. Come along Kusubu, it's time to show these people the justice of the Galactic Empire!" Dr. Grey said.

He then put his hands behind his back and walked towards the site of the explosions looking utmost ecstatic. He's about to witness the capabilities of these mysterious terrorists and also of Kusubu in action. The amount of battle data he is going to be collecting of this day would be most beneficial to his research. Oh the knowledge he can gain from this gives him such euphoria he can hardly contain himself, but he must remain calm and act professionally. Can't make the Galactic Empire look bad oh no he needs to make sure to help make it look good.

Meanwhile near Creed Cybernetics, a group of individuals all from different planets are resting after unleashing some of their power blowing up the facility. One of which is a Heran male in his powered up state.

"Unbelievable, we went through all of this trouble and there's no one here to announce this to. No curious citizens, no nosy reporters, nothing to announce ourselves or our goals to." he said.

"Calm down Rose, no one shown up most likely cause they are too afraid. Especially considering the last time this planet was attack." a purple colored alien woman replied.

"I know Lilac, but what's the point spreading our environment message around if no one is able to hear it from us." Rose said.

The Heran leader plopped down and sat on debris waiting for someone to show up.

When Dr. Grey, Kusubu, and Morton got there they were introduced to quite a violent scene as the robotic individual easily killed two of the terrorists that attacked the facility. While Morton is definitely traumatized from this display of brutality and Kusubu probably seen stuff like this before. Dr. Grey's eyes were lit up as if he was a boy who just got what he wanted for Christmas. It wasn't just the sheer display of power the armor had, but also just how advanced the technology of the mechanical man was. Just by looking at it he could tell it is a technical marvel way ahead of anything else like it. Just seeing it's strength and capabilities gives Dr. Grey the urge to learn everything about it. Who built it, what weapons does it have, what metal is it made out of, all of these questions and more just swirling in his head.

---

The rest of the Nature Defense Rangers couldn't believe what happened, their leader Rose in his transformed state was killed easily by this man in armor and Lilac was caught by surprise. Rose was their leader and of course their strongest member, so seeing him die so easily is shocking, but all of that sadness and despair is being mixed in with unbridled hatred towards the person who killed them. No doubt in their minds that that robot is made by the bastards who are adding even more pollution to this once beautiful planet. Just thinking about how much more planets would end up becoming like Tech-Tech if companies like Creed Cybernetics keep getting their way for the sake of making money makes them sick to their stomachs. That is why they made this group to become the defenders of mother nature itself, and that is why they picked Tech-Tech of their first target to destroy the very symbol of the ultimate outcome of overabundance of consumerism and industrialization and what Earth could one day look like if they are not stopped.

Tupil gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. The only way for them to have a chance is for all of them to go all out on him together.

"You have no idea who you're screwing with, you and every corrupt company that destroyed this once beautiful planet are all going to pay! We are the guardians of the life force of all planets in the universe! The defenders of every plant and animal that can't defend themselves from the corrupt governments and business men! I am Tupil," he says while flashing a dramatic pose.

A yellow one of the same race of the infamous Freeza Force elite Zarbon did an elegant pose while holding a flower in his hand "I am Narcissus, the most handsome member of the team!"

A large headed alien that looked like a grey alien from old Earth fiction began to pose as well "I am Chrysanthemum!"

Another Heran albeit not in the race's infamous transformation with a mullet began to pose as well "I am Hyacinth!"

A human looking alien joined in as danced as elegantly as a ballerina before stating his name and striking his pose "I am Magnolia!"

Finally a small spiky alien that looked like an anthropomorphized blowfish or sea urchin did his best to make a cool looking pose "And I, am Pincushions!"

"And together we are, the Nature Defense Rangers!" they said.

Silence filled the air as what seemed to be very serious and dark atmosphere was shot down by their sudden ridiculous and flamboyant poses. However they shouldn't be judged by their eccentricities as the Ginyu Force also were very powerful and had a strange habit of posing dramatically as well. Dr. Grey got out his specially modified scouter to get some readings on each of them. Some pretty impressive ones, but when he looked at the man with armor to try to take a scan of it he noticed life signatures coming from within the metal man. Meaning that instead of an android what he sees before him could be a person in a suit of glorified armor. How very interesting, and now he could able to see Kusubu in action and this armored stranger.

The silence in the air was broken by the sound of clapping, the NDR turn their heads to the direction of the sounds coming from a very young looking person in a lab coat.

"An impressive display so far, but I am afraid we won't let this android to have all of the fun. After all this planet is a part of the Galactic Empire, and as such we shouldn't just idly standby and let you attack it. Of course I, Dr. Nikolas Grey, am a scientist and not one really one who likes to get into combat. I am more a fan of research and pushing boundaries of what people are capable of. So the lovely Commander Kusubu here of the Ultramarines should fill in and dispose of all of you for committing horrible acts against our glorious-"

"Commander Kusubu, you're needed back on Mitra right away! It's urgent, the Saiyans are launching an attack with a squad of Great Apes. We need all of the help we can get!" a voice boomed on a communicator said interrupting Dr. Grey mid speech.

Kusubu took the call with a surprised and annoyed look on her face wishing she wasn't brought along on this dumb mission. Dr. Grey and Morton were left flabbergasted and turned to look at the NDR and the robot man.

"Pincushions, you're the weakest and your spikes would probably do nothing against that guy's armor. Capture that guy so we can use him as leverage if need be." Tupil said acting as the stand in leader at their fallen comrades passing.

Pincushions flew towards Dr. Grey with great speed, and Dr. Grey quickly grabbed a hold of his diminutive martian assistant Morton and ran off.

The NDR then took advantage of the confusion of what happened and Hyacinth uses his a bunch of psychic energy threads from his fingers come out like puppet strings and wrap around the robot's body. Narcissus, who is very much ashamed of his ugly form but knows all too well how powerful their opponent must be to kill Rose and Lilac so easily, transforms into a reptilian looking beast and fires a powerful energy beam from his mouth. Tupil then unleashes a large volley of Ki blasts and ends it with a powerful charged beam attack. While smoke fills the area Chrysantheum activates his psychic powers and uses his telekinesis to grab a bunch of the debris from the factory they just attacked and enclose it on the robot in a giant sphere of rocks.

It looks like they won, but they are ready for the bastard to burst out of those rocks and come after them.

---

Dr. Nikolas Grey was running for his life with Morton in tow, has ran into a building in an attempt to escape his pursuer. Pincushions, true to his name, inflates his face and starts shooting a bunch of his body's needles at the doctor. He changes direction to take the left turn in the hallway narrowly avoiding the needles.

"Those needles are filled with a pretty nasty poison, it won't kill but you will definitely won't be able to move for a while!" Pincushions gloated.

Pincushions turned to where the scientist fled to when he finds himself in a parking lot. A lot of parked hover cars where but the man and his weird tentacle friend were nowhere to be seen. He casually walks around looking for him cause he didn't have a very high power coming from him so he shouldn't be a threat. However, hiding behind a pillar with a big grin on his face the "good" doctor held one of his specially created weapons in hand. Suddenly Pincushions found himself covered in rings made out of energy. The more he struggled the tighter they would get.

"Listen, you're a scientist! You should know how badly companies like Creed's affect the environment! If we don't do something then all planets will be just as desolate as this one!" Pincushions pleaded.

"While I haven't heard of this Creed Cybernetics till now I do know what you mean. After all Earth has had a habit of polluting their own world and destroying the ecosystem." Dr. Grey replied.

"Then you should know that our cause is just, free me and we can help each other!" Pincushions said.

"While your cause is a noble one, I politely decline." Dr. Grey said with a devilish grin.

"What?!" said Pincushions shockingly.

"Look around you, even when this planet's atmosphere has grown toxic the people that live here managed to still find a way to still live and manage to continue developing and further increasing their technology and society. That is true progress, when one's own planet is dead and yet through terraforming or some other method revive it from the desolate wasteland it once was. That is true evolution, to be able to adapt to the most unsurvivable conditions and then make it hospitable. Even the Martians like my assistant managed to still live on in underground cities on their barren wasteland of a planet, of course war is what caused their planet to become like that and not like what happened to Tech-Tech. This planet and it's people are a statement, showing that with the power of science you can truly do whatever you please!" Dr. Grey said.

After the speech Grey couldn't help but get into a laugh. It was a terrifying cackle that would make hyenas wince and melt clowns makeup off from fear sweat. And Pincushions is terrified as well, but then all of that terror is replaced with anger. This asshole scientist is no better then the ones that work for Creed. He doesn't just need to be used as a hostage or leverage, he needs to die. Suddenly Pincushions whole body begins to inflate and his spikes growing as well. The spikes then penetrate the energy rings that bounded him and he deflates back to his normal size. And Dr. Grey, is now the one who is terrified as he steps back.

"Wait a minute hang on, I still care about the environment! In fact with science we could find a way to make the air out of the domes on Tech-Tech breathable again! And I even worked up a way to terraform Mars to make it a better place for it's people to live in I am not evil!" Dr. Grey implored.

"You know it's funny, I had a scientist that worked in that factory we attacked said similar things before he tried to shoot me with a gun. So I blew his head off, and now I am thinking of skipping the part where you try to shoot me and get to the part I enjoyed the most." Pincushions said.

Suddenly a small bolt was fired at the back of Pincushions head. It left a small scorch mark, but did nothing. He looked behind him to see the doctor's martian friend holding a laser gun in hand shaking nervously. Grey then took advantage of this distraction and got out his Freeze Ray and fired it at the terrorist. Pincushions tried to block, but his arm and soon his entire body becomes encased in ice. The alien's body stood their motionless.

"I was hoping I wouldn't be forced to fend for myself on this trip, but because those damned Saiyans had to attack now things had to be complicated. And I was really hoping to collect the battle data on Kusubu. Oh well, Morton let's go watch that armored man fight the rest of those extremist environmentalists." Dr. Grey said.

Morton let out a sigh of relief at the fact that he is not in danger anymore, but also gave a puzzled look at Dr. Grey's armored man comment and wondered what he meant. As they left the ice surrounding Pincushions began to crack.

---

On the roof of the building Dr. Grey look towards where the battle was brewing earlier and got out a binocular type device to watch the fight since it seemed that his prototype modified scouter got clipped by one of that blowhard's needles. He looked onto the battle site hoping he didn't miss anything while he was running for his life.

Andrew C. Creed Kusubu

Today was definitely the worse day in Tupil's life. One by one he keeps witnessing his comrades die before him in a brutal fashion. Without pity or remorse from this cold heartless machine whose soul purpose is to guard a corrupt company. Narcissus, he may have been full of himself but he still cared about the cause and everyone else. And Magnolia, their gifted psychic who came up with this plan. All of their lives just taken in a quick instance. However, they are not out of the picture yet.

Cause before that robot came and started killing, they have been planting the seeds of their plan. Quite literally in fact as they cultivated enough Saibamen seeds to make an army. They knew they needed some extra help in destroying the rest of the factories that add on to this planet's already toxic atmosphere. And they would have sent the Saibamen to each of the other bio domes to do so, but now they need them to avenge their fallen comrades. This isn't about spreading an environmental message through violence or taking down heartless faceless corporations. Now it's about blowing that android to bits.

Popping out of the ground like weeds the Saibamen come out ready to fight. Cause of the Bio Domes artificial atmosphere they were able to grow quite nicely. And the Nature Defense Rangers have been very busy with gardening Saibamen as there must be over a hundred of them popping out around the factory. Tupil then blew a whistle that caused all of the Saibamen to look towards him. He then pointed at the floating cloaked robot covered in blood. And he uttered a single phrase.

"Kill."

The Saibamen then leaped towards the killer android lunging at him for close quarter combat, some sprayed acid, others used Ki blasts, and if none of that works and they aren't all immediately destroy they still have their last resort self destruct attack. Tupil then began to charge energy into both of his hands to begin preparing for a very powerful beam attack, and Hyacinth joins in as well. Charging a Ki attack for a few minutes does make it a lot stronger, however it leaves the person defenseless while doing so. But with with the legion of Saibamen distracting him, they will put all that they can into this one attack just so they can put him out of commission. They already are fully aware that the Saibamen wouldn't be able to do much, but they shall at least buy them enough time to charge their attack long enough before letting it all loose on him.

---

Dr. Grey and Morton watched on, Morton looked very concerned while Dr. Grey was looking excited cause now he doesn't know what the outcome is going to be.

"Oh geez Nick, I think we should probably help that robot." Morton said.

"No Morton, I wanna see if this suit of armor can overcome these odds. Just to know what it's truly capable of. Someday I may make my own armor, and I would make sure to make it better then that one. By knowing more about the limits of what one thing could do, would I be able to create a superior version!" Dr. Grey explained.

"Oh yeah that makes sense I guess, but Nick if he does lose what we going to do?" Morton asked.

"We leave and call the Galactic Empire and let them handle the remaining terrorists. We are not fighters Morton, we have barely any weapons on us besides the ones I sneaked in my capsules cause I thought Kusubu would be defending us before he just up and left without us! Thankfully Polaris is on Mitra, and if I know him he would surely eradicate all of those Saiyan invaders." Dr. Grey said.

Suddenly they heard a sneeze and turned behind them to see Pincushions who has broken out of his icy prison, albeit now bluer and has gotten a nasty cold from being in that ice.

"Man it sucks that my species can't really handle the cold well, thankfully I am a lot tougher then the other people from my planet. *sniff* It was a beautiful aquatic planet entirely filled with oceans with only a few islands dotting the surface. And then some rich ass hats started making those islands their vacation homes and carelessly dump their trash into our ocean. We had to make domes like the ones on this planet to surround our cities after the ocean became murky and hard for us to be able to breath through our gills with. Don't you see, people like Creed don't give a damn about this planet or others cause ever since space travel was invented they all think "Oh this planet is dying, we can just use go to another planet!". And how long must that happen before we run out of planets huh, smart guy?! I am going to kill you and your squishy friend for that potshot, and then I am going to kill everyone in that company!" Pincushions said

"Now now, there is no need to be so hasty. We can work something out, after all I am with the Galactic Empire. I could ask Polaris himself if we could help your planet and clean your oceans. Or maybe THAT THE DAMNED ANDROID WOULD COME OVER HERE KILL THIS AND HELP SAVE ME FROM THIS ONE YOU LET GET AWAY, AND CHASE AFTER AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER" he yelled.

Pincushions then slowly walked towards Dr. Grey and Morton, with a look in his eyes that shows how determined he was to kill the two. Doctor Grey tries to use his ray guns, but Pincushions shots two needles at them destroying them. Morton and Dr. Grey then held onto each other tight, cowering as what appeared to be their final moments.

Well it seems that this guy did not quite know who he was, or that he he is just that full of himself he just thinks himself as more important then them. If they get out of this alive, he is going to be sure to find out who he is under that armor to get leverage over them. Of course he would more so do that just to get him to tell him how he made that suit. Although there is only so much you can do with a metallic super suit. Perhaps there could be another way to enhance one's abilities that could be worn.

Pincushions was shocked to see the rest of his comrades killed so quickly. He is now the only one left, but he can't do this alone. Luckily that robot gives two shits about what happens to these two, so he can kill them and get away so he can find more stronger people to start a new NDR to help him avenge his fallen comrades. He won't let Rose's ambitions die in vain. He puffs and shoots a bunch of his needles at Dr. Grey and Morton who end up falling to the floor paralyzed and oozing green blood from their wounds.

"I used my needles to make this a painless death so I can make this quick. I have no time to torture you. NOW DIE!" Pincushions yelled.

Then suddenly he found himself unable to move, it can't be hesitation he really truly wants to kill them. He looks to his body to see the energy rings surrounding his body similar to the ones that doctor shot at him earlier, but that can't be he is on the floor paralyzed. He then found himself shot over the roof of the building with a laser blast from behind. He stopped himself in midair and began to float and turned to see who hit him. And saw a second doctor and martian with a smug ass grin on the doctor's face.

"But how, why, when? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS?!" Pincushions bewilderingly asked.

"I knew you would get out of that ice, so I had some clones of me and my assistant take to the rooftops while we hid elsewhere to watch the fight. You see I made some very special capsules in the time I spent on Capsule Corp. Ones that could actually be able to safely carry living organisms inside. However, they believed that it would be misused for kidnapping and trafficking crimes and in hindsight they have a point, but they have come in handy in allowing me to store my bio-engineered creations on the go. I couldn't beat you through strength, but I sure can outsmart you." Dr. Grey said.

"You little-" Pincushions exclaimed before flying to Dr. Grey.

Dr. Grey then threw a flash bomb right into Pincushions face disorientating him, and then fires his freeze ray at him. The frozen and bound Pincushions begins to fall from midair down many stories and hits the ground below and breaks into many pieces. Now every single one of the NDR are dead, and with them their mission. Considering the circumstances though Dr. Grey gave him a more tame death compared to what that armored gentleman would've given him. Not to mention a painless one, quite ironic since he was about to give his clones painless deaths.

Speaking of which, the clones are still alive albeit paralyzed with poison. He walks over to them and puts them back into their capsules. He shall find an antidote for them back at the lab. In any case now he can finally get the parts that he came for. Though of course he still wanted to know more about that armored gentleman. Surely that exemplary display of strategy would have impressed him.

"So, how was that for handling it for myself then? That armor of yours is quite impressive. Managed to make quick work of those hooligans. I am Doctor Nikolas Grey a scientist working for the Galactic Empire. A pleasure to meet your acquaintance." Dr. Grey said offering a hand to the armored man.
