The Emperor of the Galaxy
The two of them were competing quite fiercely at these bafflement Olympics, weren't they? Absolut was baffled at what Etohn had just told him, about this so-called "dark ki" and weird tattoos, while Etohn was apparently baffled at Absolut being baffled. Was he... supposed to know all of this? Because it didn't strike a single chord with him at all, the only thing which he could do was stare at the Saiyan, blinking, and listen while he listed stranger and stranger things...
"Uhm..." the young Frost Demon muttered under his breath, presented with the question on what he wants to do now and unsure of an answer. All the anger, frustration and hatred towards Etohn which he felt before... whatever the hell happened before had mostly faded away at this point, or at least gotten bottled up to the point where they were not a primary concern. But he didn't really want to stay in this stranger's ship any longer, either. "I just... I just want to go home and..."
Absolut suddenly stopped, his eyes shifting from side to side in concern, before the young Frost Demon spoke up again. "You don't have anyone else with you, right?"
Having registered the escape of an unknown spaceship with a high power level inside from the planet below immediately after the news of Absolut's kidnapping, two Imperial combat frigates, carrying several soldiers each, took off from Kanassa to give chase - and as time went on, the two spaceships were inching increasingly closer, the power levels inside each of them now close enough to be caught by ki sensing, which is what suddenly alarmed the Frost Demon.

Well, while it was no surprise to anyone, Absolut just wanted to go home, probably to try and forget about everything that had happened. Etohn did ask them what they wanted to do, but he still didn't feel quite right just leaving the Emperor to go away, still not completely aware of whatever had transpired. Were they even really concerned with what happened? Maybe they just thought it was some fanciful lie. As he was sitting up to start leading Absolut out of the ship, he and the boy both felt a mass of energies heading vaguely in their direction. Was it the people he called up to held him get off of this planet? No, they should still be quite a ways off. No, it probably wasn't anybody coming here for Etohn, but they might be heading here for Absolut. With how they just suddenly vanished, it was safe to assume that they would try to look for them with how much time had passed. "Hmm...No, I came here completely alone, and the people who were supposed to tow my ship probably won't be here for another day. Those energies probably aren't anything to worry about, anyways. Let's just get you out of here." Opening up the door to the room, Etohn would wait for Absolut to begin following him before leading them back outside of the ship.

The Emperor of the Galaxy
Surprisingly, when faced with the young Frost Demon's request to simply allow him to go home, Etohn conceded. That... That was definitely new. Out of all the people who had taken hold of him one way or another, none of them even considered to simply follow what Absolut wants. Hell, the one of his "kidnappers" whom he considered to be the closest to him, Mr. Cam, went as far as to mentally torture him with his psychic powers in their first meeting, and then brought him into his ship without the young Frost Demon's accord.
Seeing someone simply accept that his wishes are not just something to ignore, that there is a real person with real wants behind them... it almost felt surreal, in a way. Absolut jumped off his feet to follow after Etohn through the corridors of the downed ship, listening to Etohn explain that he didn't really have anyone else alongside him, but the energies he was feeling should be nothing to worry about. Right, that could be anyone, and this was a busy planet in general...
The door of the spaceship opened, the two warriors stepping out - immediately faced by two saucer form ships, somewhat resembling those once used by the Frieza Force in the centuries past, though also different in design, approaching the spaceship, slowing down after having sped towards Etohn's registered signature at maximum atmospheric speed, before finally hovering around the downed spaceship.
"ETOHN VERSTOSS, DROP ANY WEAPONS, STAND DOWN AND SURRENDER, NOW! YOU ARE SURROUNDED!" blared across the field from a voice amplifier, while the hatches of the floating spaceships opened to reveal several fully armed Ultramarines prepared for battle. Absolut immediately released a yelp, his eyes frantically turning towards the Saiyan, hoping that he doesn't respond... harshly.

Continuing down the corridor, Etohn would note how the energies seemed to begin growing closer to his location. It seems like his worries were well founded, then, and that they were looking for either him or the Emperor. While he hoped that this could be quickly resolved by just having Absolut walk away, it may not be so simple. He would try his best to avoid conflict, but would those people be as willing? Probably not... Stepping out of the ship, Etohn and Absolut come face-to-face with 2 large, disk-shaped ships approaching from the sky, ordering the Half-Saiyan to stand down and surrender. To put weight behind their words, the shuttles would begin to open up, showing off the array of Ultramarines standing at the ready, reminding him of just how important Absolut was to the Empire. Of course such a large force would try to arrest him when he was just trying to help out Absolut. "Well shit...This ain't good. Don't suppose I can ask them to tow my ship away, then..." Continuing to stand upright, Etohn calls out to the ship, frowning at the situation he had to deal with. "Oi! You all know you can't arrest me even if you wanted to, and I ain't even done anything wrong, unless this kid's got an allergy to healing pods I didn't know about!"Words: 226 Total: 4529 Tags: Emperor Absolut

The Emperor of the Galaxy
Etohn's blunt and thinly veiled threat got the Ultramarines to look at each other and shuffle around a little bit - clearly, they had not been expecting the reading on their scouters and ki senses to match the Saiyan's threats. Even Absolut turned towards Etohn, saying: " W-what are you doing?! Don't... don't antagonize them like that!" Thankfully, however, an unseen force within the spaceships ordered the Ultramarines and the pilots to acquit, and soon, the two spaceships landed, allowing the soldiers within to step out and form orderly lines. There was one thing to note about them however. Though all of them were clearly wearing standard issue Ultramarine uniforms, it was impossible to miss - not a single one of them had the insignia of the First Galactic Empire emblazoned upon them. The Ultramarine skull and laurels, marked on their chestplates, was the only identification they had. From among the soldiers, a Xeno somewhat resembling a Earthling, though with dark skin and bleached while hair, stepped out. From the way all of the soldiers stepped away to grant him the way, and the man's own proud and haughty stature, it was easy to tell that this was their leader. Several swords were strapped upon the man's belt, while a bright red cloak flowed from his shoulders. " I apologize for our less than friendly introduction." the officer spoke, in an elevated, princely tone. " But, alas, you should have expected such, knowing how many of my peers you have murdered in your career... I am Lieutenant Kiro, commander of the 321st Ultramarine Platoon, designated to guard the planet of Kanassa from external threats such as yours. And I would like you to return His Majesty to our hands hereforth." (296 words, total 4919)

It seems like...they actually took Etohn seriously. Rather than the usual spiel of ignoring his claim and attacking the Half-Saiyan anyways, these people actually seemed to be dissuaded by his words. It was an odd feeling, if he was being honest. He was ready and raring to go avoiding blaster fire and escaping away, having to keep on the run from the Empire, but they were just sitting there...scared? "Huh...Y'know kid, I was expecting them to attack me anyways. Didn't really think they'd take me seriously." Standing there, awkwardly twiddling his thumbs, unsure of what to do in this situation, Etohn would notice someone begin to march towards him, the Ultramarines moving aside as he approached. They seemed a bit like a Human, though the white hair with the young face made it seem equally as likely that they were a Brench. Their regal air they had about them only further cemented that idea. Introducing himself as Lieutenant Kiro, the man quickly described how they were trying to take Absolut back, all the while making rather passive-aggressive mentions towards him, something Etohn was very much not a fan of. "...Alright, so a couple things here. First off, Etohn Verstoss, former Dominion Captain, blah blah blah, not a military threat anymore. Next, I've never killed any Patrolman or Ultramarines. I did work in the Dominion, but I never had to do a mission to try and take any of you out. The closest one was Abbayor, and if ya couldn't tell, I wasn't exactly a combatant while I was there. Don't you dare try blaming Tech Tech on me, either. With how many cameras they have all over the fucking place, you should know that I didn't hurt a damn soul. Third off, I was leading the kid off of the ship anyways."Pointing over his shoulder towards the bits and pieces of scrap metal littering the ground by his ship, he adds, "Engine's busted, and the only thing that works on there is my fridge, my gravity chamber, and my healing pod, and if ya weren't listening earlier, I put him into the healing chamber. After he was up, he said he wanted to go home, and now you're free to do just that."Words: 377 Total: 4906 Tags: Emperor Absolut

The Emperor of the Galaxy
Lieutenant Kiro's expression remained dismissive during Etohn's entire defense. The Saiyan got really wounded by the Lieutenant's comments, apparently - and while making unwanted enemies was not a part of the plan and could actually hurt it, it felt good to speak out against him and see his frustrated reaction. While one of the speechless Ultramarines placed his hand on Absolut's shoulder, slowly pulling him in towards the ship, Kiro replied: " Alas, this is the information I had received upon you and your biography during my service. And besides, I believe all of us here can agree that the conflict between our nations ended inconclusively and you can excuse me for feeling some bad blood over what happened in the end. Especially once I had heard that a man aligned with the Dominion has kidnapped the Emperor of the Galaxy, much like your peers had kidnapped and mutilated my family during the war, I believe you could excuse me for my worries." Kiro feigned worry and sadness with her last sentence, but punctuated it with a faint cackle, then turned around and began walking back towards the ship. " Alas, as interested I would be in discussing this further, Etohn Verstoss, you said it clearer than I could ever put," the Lieutenant continued after briefly turning his head towards the Saiyan. " His Majesty wants to return home, he's been thrusted into a planet which he is unfamiliar with, and I shan't delay this request any further. Adios, Saiyan." Pushing the surprised and somewhat baffled Frost Demon into the spaceship, Kiro and his Ultramarines all stepped inside, the two spaceships immediately rising into the sky and finally departing into the distance. All the power levels in the two spaceships, aside for Absolut's flickering signature, suddenly vanished - the trick was not longer necessary to maintain. ... It took less than a few minutes for the solitary downed spaceship to get harassed by visitors. This time, it was a single fighter jet market by Imperial insignia, with a pilot and a gunner boarding it, flying through the sky before finally gently touching down on the ground a dozen or so meters away from Etohn's spaceship. The cockpit opened, revealing a single female Abbayorian pilot who promptly took off her helmet and exclaimed: " Etohn Verstoss? Your Majesty? Are you there?" (394 words, total 5313)
