Wild Space
Somewhere in the South Quadrant....
Most people spent their mornings with a cup of coffee, a nice hot shower, and a nice hearty breakfast before waltzing away to their job, ready to start a new day. Well, perhaps most was a bit of a stretch, but some people actually did that crap every single morning. But Kamui? Nah, he wasn't about that cushy life. He was a pirate, and apparently pirates spent their early mornings making other people's lives hell.
The raid had started off rather suddenly. For several hours, Kamui had set his sights on a military cruiser, the identification of such a cruiser failing to come up in his database, meaning that it wasn't aligned with any governments that Kamui had flagged in his data to steer away from. It didn't mean that it wasn't a government ship, but it just wasn't one that Kamui was familiar with, or deemed important enough to add to take caution against. His own ship, a massive warship dubbed The Rogue Phantom, then took the appropriate steps to tail the enemy cruiser as it shot across space, entering the South Quadrant. It wasn't until the cruiser neared Kanassa that Kamui had decided to strike, moving forward the same level of ferocity as he normally did. The usual "take out their engines, destroy their deflector shields, trap in stasis field" spheel, meant to entrap their opponents instead of outright destroy.
And then came the boarding and pillaging. Which was where they were now.
It wasn't often that Kamui, a rising star amongst independent space raiders, decided to personally accompany his men on board an enemy vessel. However, he needed the extra assurance when it came to armed military vessels, just in case someone with an above average power level was on board. Also, it helped morale. The Changeling was a fair leader, who believed that a good Captain fought with his men as often as he oversaw and planned attacks, and as such looked down on those who simply watched as his or her soldiers lived or died, knowing that they would be safe in whatever military bunker they constructed for their own protection.
It was unbecoming of a leader.
However, Kamui's caution proved well founded, for not long after boarding his senses had alerted him to the presence of an above average power level, present on the bridge of the enemy vessel, the likes of which could easily best the majority of his troops, with the exception of Lieutenant Sansho, and Kamui's own girlfriend, Kaiju. And with his crew small enough as is, Kamui couldn't risk too many losses. Thus, he had to eliminate this threat before it became disastrous.
Thus, as the rest of his crew ransacked the enemy vessel and fought with the defenders of the ship, Kamui made his way to the bridge, grunting in annoyance. He was a rather large fellow, a Changeling standing at a frightening height of six foot eleven, his massive tail that stretched out behind him probably laying claim to a similar length. His bio suit was rather massive as well, stretching out to cover his entire upper body, and finally large, midnight black bull horns shot out from both sides of his head. As far as Frost Demons went, he was quite the sight to see...and he was only nineteen years of age.
Several dead guardsmen and a rather eccentric engineer later, Kamui busted open the sealed door that led to the bridge of the ship, a deep red aura bursting to life around him as his power level skyrocketed from a suppressed five thousand up to a rather impressive sixty thousand.
"Time to get this over with..." Kamui muttered. He didn't like it when raids lasted too long. Every second wasted, was extra time for potential reinforcements to arrive.
And he'd be damned if that shit happened again.

Mr. Cam's Reluctant Pupil Aah! Aah! Aah! AAH! AAH! This was just supposed to be... a trip from one planet to another, then back to Kabocha... And now they were attacked by pirates?! The ship's engines were knocked out by enemy turret fire almost immediately, dozens of enemies boarded the ship and were starting to slaughter the Kabochan soldiers operating it. Absolut, meanwhile, was inside the ship's bridge, mowering behind one of the massive computers used for operating the vessel and keeping track of all of its vitals, hoping that he merely slipped into a some sort of nightmare and everything was going to fade away as soon as he closes his eyes... clenches them tightly... Nope. The locked door of the bridge, the room holding the unarmed passengers and ship operators alongside the last few remaining Kabochan soldiers, got blown to smithereens, and a massive Frost Demon with a powerful aura and an even more massive power level stepped inside. That... that is the person behind this attack? Is he working with my father or something?.. And right when me and Mr. Cam are separated from one another, too...That's it. It's over. He's cornered, and the enemy in front of him is dozens of times stronger. He'll slaughter everyone onboard, take Absolut prisoner, ferry him to his father and the story will be over... Slaughter all of these people... Absolut's fist clenched. Dammit, I'm not just a kid in distress anymore!
I-I didn't train all this time for nothing!
I'm supposed to be a hero, the hero my father never was. I can't just back down and let this monster do what he wants...The young Frost Demon stood up, a scowl formed on his face, and stepped forward, emerging from the frightened and scattered survivors holed up in the bridge, then stared at the massive horned pirate's eyes. "If you came here for me... then you came to the wrong place." Absolut muttered, then, fueled by adrenaline and quenched fear, suddenly clenched his fists and began to power up. His aura immediately burst into life and his power level shot far beyond what he had ever achieved, picking up dust, ashes and smoke and blowing them away in one sudden sweep. It wasn't enough to catch up to Kamui's power level, but it at least gave Absolut a bit more of a closer footing. Beat your frailty into submission. You won't give up.

Another Frost Demon?
For some reason, on Kamui's list of things to expect, a Frost Demon wasn't on that list. It wasn't often that the massive pirate captain saw members of his own species, especially on a ship he was raiding. And to be completely frank, Kamui didn't like seeing members of his species. It reminded him of his father and sister, two people he hated to be completely frank. But, now was no time to be so distracted with the boy's appearance. It never did to waste time reminiscing. Without a word, his eyes scanned over the perimeter of the room, taking note of one common trait amongst Absolut and the unarmed crew. Each and every single one of them, Frost Demon included, were cowering behind their desks and computer terminals, with the same frightened, haunted look on their faces. It nearly made the Pirate Captain question whether he came here under false pretenses. Whether his senses were truly something to be trusted, or if he was merely being nervous for nothing, and this was just another routine raid.
Absolut proved him wrong rather quickly, and revealed himself to be the one that Kamui was worried about all along. That scared, intimidated boy swiftly transformed into a challenger, his expression morphing into one of solid determination, his power level skyrocketing to a level that could easily trump any of his soldiers. Which meant it was up to the Captain. Kamui was the only one who could challenge Absolut, and prevent the man from killing his troops.
The decision was made for the massive Changeling. This boy had to die.
"How valiant." Kamui remarked, crossing his arms over his chest, his long, broad tail swishing back and forth behind him, smacking against the walls behind him, causing large thud sounds to be audible as he spoke
"Come, Frost Demon. Tell me your name as we take this outside."
Kamui's violent aura dissipated suddenly in an explosion of concussive force, knocking the railing from the platform he was on, knocking the metal railing towards a group of unarmed crew members. In the place of his aura was a red outline of energy that ran along his form. A concentrated outline of energy that only emphasized his intense focus and control over his Ki....and was his own form of confirmation to the battle about to occur.
"Let's go." Kamui said before fizzling out of view, his body moving at a frighteningly fast speed. At a moment's notice he appeared in front of Absolut. Immediately raising his knee, he moved his knee straight up, in order to slam it into Absolut's chin, in an effort to stun and disorient the boy. Immediately afterwards, Kamui would lower his leg to re-balance himself, his right fist moving forward in tandem, looking to slam his fist into Absolut's gut. However, that wouldn't be all. Regardless of whether his opponent dodged or was hit by his crushing fist, Kamui would open his fist up, exposing an open palm, and begin to charge his Ki, before releasing his energy in a massive beam of Ki, aimed precisely to send the smaller Frost Demon smashing into the reinforced glass that was the bridge's windows, and send him flying out into space. He was very much aware of his kind's ability to survive in a vacuum, yet his motivation for taking the battle to empty space was less to kill Absolut and more to fight freely without endangering either his ship or Absolut's. Kamui's pirates were still on board, after all. And not all of them could survive any stray energy beams from either combatant, not to mention survive in empty space.

Mr. Cam's Reluctant Pupil The opposing Frost Demon was quick and did not hold back even a single bit, almost instantly delivering a powerful knee strike which sent Absolut reeling back and trying to stay back on his feet. However, despite all the inhuman strength behind it, it was far from enough to knock the young Frost Demon out. When the next attack came, a fist towards his gut, Absolut was prepared. The young Frost Demon's small right hand caught the punch in mid-air and stopped it in place, while with his elbow, he deflected the beam which Kamui sent at him. Sure, it sent him sliding back a little and left a somewhat nasty burn on his upper arm, but with little damage on his body and the window behind him safe for the time being, it definitely couldn't have gone much better. "I am Absolut." the teenager muttered, an energy construct materializing in his right hand, eventually taking the shape of a fancy rapier. "I am a hero." With Kamui's request granted and his name given, Absolut lunged forward, narrowing his eyes as he aimed at Kamui with bullet-point precision before sending his rapier forward in an attempt to stab the opposing Frost Demon.

Absolut, huh?The resulting explosion that erupted from Kamui's deflected blast sent debris and smoke billowing into the bridge, filling the air with the acrid smell of burning metal. It was rather impressive for Absolut, while being weaker than Kamui in both physical strength and overall speed, to be able defend against his startup offensive. Maybe....just maybe this kid would be an exciting opponent after all. However, the smaller Frost Demon's claim to being a hero surprised Kamui a bit? A hero? Seriously? That simply solidified the difference between the two, even if Kamui hadn't yet realized the differences as of yet. Kamui didn't believe in storybook "heroes". In reality, no one was a hero. Everyone had their own personal agenda, a motivation that spurred them forward. Selflessness was a virtue that looked nice on paper, that people wished to have because it looks good to a naive public. Yet, it didn't truly exist. Heroes, people who did what could be considered good by society, were simply a figment of people's imaginations. Characters created to exemplify a moral standard unobtainable in real life. Kamui didn't acknowledge such. "Absolut, hmm? A hero? I admire your bravery, for one...." Kamui said as Absolut began to charge at him, an energy construct in the form of a Rapier forming in the boy's hand as he moved to lunge at him, the sharp blade moving to pierce his center mass. "But your focus needs improvement." Kamui said, right before vanishing from sight. If there was one thing Kamui could pride himself on throughout his life, it was his speed. Ever since he was a child, his movement speed had always been something to be admired. His capability to cover large distances in short time, and to be able to travel faster than one could follow was always a talent of his. One that he was proud of. His variation of Rapid Movement, known as Sonic Warp, was merely his speed exemplified, allowing him to blur out of sight, and reappear at a moment's notice, before some could even fully adapt to the change in role from attacker and defender. As the afterimage of his body faded into nothingness, Kamui reappeared besides his opponent, immediately taking the heavy offensive. His right hand forming a fist, Kamui would lunge himself forward to slug Absolut across the face, aiming for the corresponding cheek of his opponent. Whether or not the attack was a success, Kamui would flicker out of view once again, and reappear several meters away. "You cannot win. Your only option is to flee from your comrades. Take to space, I know you can survive there." Kamui instructed, raising his hands to be level with his head, palm facing upwards. Pink and red energy began to coalesce in his palms, taking shape in the form of two large red/pink discs of sharpened Ki. After waiting for a moment to see whether Absolut would take his advice and flee, Kamui would rear his hands back before launching both saucers of energy at his opponent. These energy saucers, while similar in appearance to the legendary Destructo Disc technique, were not nearly as deadly. Upon contact with an opponent, instead of bisecting said foe, Kamui's energy discs would detonate into thousands of small energy blades, lacerating his foe in several areas, creating deep gashes, yet never severing anything completely. Throughout the technique's execution, Kamui made sure his mind was clear, and his focus was at its' peak, for Kamui could freely control the direction the deadly discs took, allowing it to have a homing capability as it followed Absolut's Ki signature. Yet, it could only have this ability as long as Kamui kept his focus on the discs. Word Count: 622 | Total Word Count: 1,887 | Post Count: 3 | Emperor Absolut BATTLE TRACKERSUMMARY

Mr. Cam's Reluctant Pupil
A hero? I admire your bravery, but your focus needs improvement.
Huh? What does he mean by that?
Absolut learned that almost immediately. The rapier attack he bet all of his strength on passed through Kamui's frame as if he was nothing but thin air, revealing it as being nothing more than an image, and the sharp construct stabbed into the ground instead, digging in almost a foot into the reinforced steel. The young Frost Demon, upon witnessing his opponent rematerialize, opted to strike again, only to stop when it turned out that he couldn't pull his weapon out as easily as he imagined.
Crap, crap, it's stuck!
Precious wasted seconds. Moments later, Kamui's fist struck him directly in the cheek, sending him rolling across the floor like a ragdoll and the rapier construct dissipating upon him losing focus. That wasn't even the end of the pain train, either. Slowly, Absolut pulled himself back together and stood back up, clenching onto his cheek and his face forming a wince, only to witness that two purple energy disks were now heading straight at him. Oh, no no no. An axe construct formed in Absolut's right hand and the young Frost Demon swung it forth to try to break one of the disks in hald - however, upon collision, the attack merely dispersed into thousands of smaller disks, each and every one of them lunging at Absolut and slashing at him like a swarm of wasps.
For a few seconds, the sight was hard to bear - just a child screaming at the top of his lungs in agony as more and more wounds were being placed on his body, more and more blood was being spilled, and no end to this torture seemed to be anywhere in sight. But that end eventually arrived, the last of the small disks dissipated, and Absolut was left standing on his feet out of pure inertia, his face emotionless and almost lifeless, before the young Frost Demon's body collapsed face-first to the ground.
His energy signature flickered in and out of existence, and the few remaining spectators of the battle would have almost certainly written him off as dead.
And yet, that wasn't the case for today, much to his dismay.
Absolut's hand twitched, and soon the young Frost Demon began moving, slowly standing back up to his feet. No, the pain was not gone, far from it - hell, it would be hard to find spots on his body which were not in agony - but his resolve managed to shut off all of his senses for at least a few seconds. It wasn't resolve to battle, however - no, it was pretty darn obvious that Kamui could poke him too hard and he'd lose his last lease at life.
"I-I'm sorry... I lied." Absolut muttered. "I'm no hero. I'm a failure. I always was."
The young Frost Demon stumbled on his feet a little bit, barely able to remain upright and conscious at once.
"If you're not here to take me to my father... then you can just shoot me here and now."

It was over.
It seemed as if Kamui's fears were unfounded after all. The child proved to crumble beneath the might of the larger Changeling, his own power increasing as his opponent's fell. Yet, despite all of it, Absolut still rose. Why? Normally, one who found themselves in a futile situation would've succumbed to a fear of death. But not this one. How...peculiar. Yet admirable.
What truly was peculiar was Kamui's next choice. At first, the Arcosian said nothing, his feet making loud thuds against the metallic tiling as he slowly closed the distance between himself and the heavily injured Frost Demon. Stopping right in front of Absolut, Kamui examined the boy, towering over him as he looked over the boy's wounds. Absolut took the full force of both of his saucers, and as such was suffering from what could be thousands of wounds compacted, one over the other compounding. The boy's energy was fading quickly, and Kamui was sure that one more hit could end the boy's pathetic existence.
It was so easy. Too easy. One good hit to the chest could stop the heart....
Or a chop across the neck could break the bones that laid there.
Or.....
Kamui's tail shot forward and wrapped itself around Absolut's neck, squeezing enough to bind him, but not enough to strangle him. He lifted the boy up and then turned away, lifting the boy above the ground, so that he was literally taking him along for the ride, against his will. Kamui was taking Absolut with him.
"No, you are not a hero. But you are not a failure...we will discover just what you are. Perhaps it is because you are a Changeling, or perhaps it is your character and your desire to stand against me....we will discover the reason as to why I am saving you later down the road." Kamui said as he made his way off the bridge, with Absolut still in the grasp of his large tail. His growing power level acted as a deterrent against pursuers who may wish to save their would be savior.
As he neared the "Parasite" boarding ship he used to dock in the first place, Kamui opened the hatch of the drill boarding pod and threw Absolut inside, before boarding himself. As the hatch closed behind him, Kamui made a move to take a seat.
"Consider your life spared. I do not work for your father, who ever that may be. I fought you to ensure a successful raid, and I will also heal you because I respect your efforts, even if they were in vain. Perhaps, one day, I could use you, when your power grows. Our kind are few in number, and as such I have qualms against killing those that I do not have to. Consider yourself lucky. You were paired with a merciful pirate. It could have been worse.."
With his explanation to a rapidly fading Frost Demon concluded, Kamui punched in the codes to disembark from the enemy vessel, the Parasite Pod dislodging itself from the ship's hull before shooting back to the mothership.
Back to the Rogue Phantom.

Mr. Cam's Reluctant Pupil
Oh... he is... he is coming closer! Great, that means he won't back off and end Absolut's agony. Maybe, if Absolut ever reincarnates in something else, that person, he or her, will lead a life better than the kid was going through right now. Hopefully. It's not a high bar. He's 14 years old, he has been kidnapped twice and he has suffered more pain than most people suffer in three lives combined. Even the most average of averages could surpass that.
Oh. Kamui is lifting him up by his neck. Absolut clenched a bit onto the tail holding him up, struggling to breathe, even if the space pirate was not trying to choke him to death. All that would be necessary for him to do is to press his tail muscles, flex them, and it would all be over.
It wasn't over.
Instead of that, the tall Frost Demon carried him away, tossing him into a spaceship and explaining to him that he is giving him a second chance by taking him as a prisoner, a captive. Again?..
Why... why does this keep happening to me?! Why does everyone want to keep me under their wraps? Why does nobody ever consider what I feel?!
Obviously, Absolut had no option but to sit in the spot Kamui tossed him at and listen - his arms were too weak and bled out for him to even lift them up and press them in his ears, even if he wanted to so badly. So that's it, huh? His brief rendezvous with Mr. Cam is over. Right when Absolut was starting to like the Kabochan emperor, get a semblance of understanding for his motives and actions, and he clearly took an interest in him as well. All of that has been exchanged for this Frost Demon space pirate.
Will he have to plot to escape from this one's grasp, too?
"Could I..." Absolut muttered, weakly. "...at least know who I am taken by this time?.."

"Kamui Solaris, Captain of the Howling Tempest and self exiled noble from the Planet Abbayor. Pleasure to meet you."
Kamui seemed to have little to no qualms with putting his entire family on blast. Ever since he was a child he was ostracized for not wishing to conform to a social norm. For wishing more than just mediocre treatment within an established order that was unchanging. For a long time he had wanted out, and he finally managed to create enough trouble for his sister and father that he had been "forced out". As such, Kamui has made it his prerogative to make his name known to the galaxy, as well as where he came from. Not only to further his reputation, but to hurt his family's, for no one in the high class elite wants their dirty laundry exposed, and Kamui, who was the dirty laundry in question, was trying his hardest to be seen.
Kamui sighed heavily as the Parasite disembarked from Absolut's vessel, the pod shaking slightly as it dislodged from the hull and shot off into the blackness. As the pod shot away from Absolut's ship, small fires could be seen bursting along the ship's hull, which caused a groan to come from Kamui's lips. Every time he ordered his men to keep Ki blasts to a minimum, in the interest of not blasting the ship apart while they were still on board. His men listened, yes. In fact, they had done a great job in keeping their energy in check, while still being extremely effective in battle. However....when it came to unruly pirates nothing was ever perfect, which usually resulted in an explosion in the barracks or some fire started in the janitorial department.
But they were his men, and he appreciated them for what they were.
Eventually, the pod reached its' destination, the rest and recharge stations for the Parasite Pods on the sides of Kamui's ship. The pod shook and shuddered as it nestled itself in the station, several clicks and whirrs being heard as it fastened itself in, preparing for ejection. As the doors of the pod opened, Kamui moved to stand, his tail once again stretching out and wrapping itself around the boy's neck, dragging him out into the open once more. If Absolut was aware enough to take note of his surroundings, the Changeling boy would realize that Kamui's vessel was indeed a technological marvel.
A beautifully crafted vessel of Arcosian creation, the ship possessed more weaponry then there were people to operate them, and was fast as hell. With a crew of only sixty Xenos, how were there enough people to handle the pressure of operating the ship? In fact, where were the Xenos? The ship's hallways were empty, except the scurrying about of service droids and Sentry Droids, Arm Cannons attached to both arms. The best thing about Kamui's vessel was that it was run nearly completely on droids, with only a few Xenos overseeing the droids. This allowed the ship to be run by noncombatant droids (guarded by combat droids, of course), allowing the majority of the organic crew to be available to raid, adding numbers to the fray. It was an interesting system, and one that worked unexpectedly well in raids past.
There were a few Xenos who were noncombatant and were left to run the ship and its' specialized services, and Kamui was on his way to one of those Xenos now.
Kamui, with Absolut in tow, turned right suddenly heading through a pair of automatic doors, the doors seamlessly sliding apart, allowing the massive Changeling entry. Inside the rather wide room were dozens of Rejuvenation Tanks, lined up side by side across the wall, along with several operating tables spread across the room in the center. Assistant Droids scurried along, ensuring the temperature control was operational, that the medical supplies were decent. And in the middle of the fray was a single, bubbly, pink haired blue skinned Heran female.
Sawbones.
No one knew her actual name, but Sawbones was a street given title offered by the gang in which Kamui recruited her from. Sawbones hid her immense genius behind a bubbly, airhead personality, yet she was one of the most talented, most brilliant doctors that Kamui had ever met, and equally talented as an innovative scientist, serving as Kam's expert in a number of fields that did not require busting something open. Sawbones was also a tremendous flirt, playfully attempting to seduce Kamui despite being one of the few who knew that the Captain was taken.
Upon Kamui's entrance, she immediately jumped in alarm, before a freakishly wide smile crossed her features.
"Ohhhhhhh myyyyyy! Why if it isn't Captain Kamui! What a pleasant surprise! What has brought you to my humble abode? Are you injured...or perhaps you have finally come to whisk me away from this godforsaken place..." She said, drawing closer to the Changeling and examining his body for any signs of wounds.
"Not me, dear." Kamui said, shrugging past Sawbones, hoisting Absolut aloft with his tail before lying him across an examination table. Looking back to Sawbones, Kamui could immediately see her bubbly persona melt away into a look of concern, hinting that he had gotten her attention, and that the situation had brought out the best in her.
"Treat him as if he were me. I want him healed as fast as you can do so. Do not allow anything to happen to him, Bones." Kamui instructed, as he turned away to leave.
Sawbones nodded, furrowing her brow at the prone Changeling," Who is he?" She inquired simply
"No one to concern yourself with. The quicker you heal him, the quicker he will no longer be a factor on board this ship." Kamui said before shutting the door behind him, leaving Absolut and Sawbones in silence.
Sighing, the Heran woman turned back to Absolut
"Well, this should be interesting...." She muttered under her breath as she moved over to a table, and pulled on some gloves. She had a lot to do, and very little time to do it. Best to get started.

Mr. Cam's Reluctant Pupil
Kamui Solaris, exiled noble from Planet Abbayor. That's who now holds complete control over Absolut's life now, at least for a while. Wait. Wait wait wait. From Abbayor?! You mean... the very same planet from which Absolut fled a year ago? The same one which was now one of the two capitals of the First Galactic Empire, you know, the same entity which his father is leading right now? Did he flee from his father, or from something else? That's an interesting question. It would certainly give a whole other factor to this entire equation...
It was enough food for thought for the young Frost Demon to keep himself busy as he was being carried through Kamui's spaceship, barely functioning and picking up on what was happening around him, until he was finally plopped down on a some sort of cold examination table. That's a new feeling for today. Feeling cold. Beats all of the pain and agony any day of the week. Absolut shivered a little, though his movements wouldn't be easy to perceive for a foreign observer.
The tall Frost Demon left him here, in the hands of an unknown, mysterious alien, seemingly a healer of sorts. Absolut coughed a little bit and muttered:
"You don't... really need to put me to sleep... I'll go do so right now..."
Aaaand pitch black.
