A world had been discovered by Warrior Humans. The climate seemed temperate and it had plenty of animals. If it was uninhabited it would serve as the new base of the Warrior humans and if not perhaps they could make some sort of deal with the owners so that they could use the planet or borrow a lot of tech and resources to rebuild their homes.
Spearheading this particular effort was none other than Avaron himself known for his cool head in diplomacy but his fiery disposition in battle. He had come here to see if the rumors were true.
-
Immediately they were surrounded by a large group of military ships that just warp jumped across the system. Particularly a large Titan which was bearing down upon the smaller ships, its size almost eclipsing the entire planet of Tefillin.
Immediately a loud, booming voice appeared in the speakers of the ships, hacked into as they were by sophisticated AI.
"Who are you, Trespassers? What business do you have in our system?"
-
Before he would answer he descended himself using magic to the planet below. Luckily earlier he had cast an oxygen independence spell on himself.
Once on the planet he thought up what he would respond to them. He created a crystal that would project his voice aboard their ships and used it.
Avaron thought diplomatically about his answer. The overwhelming number of ships worried him and so he decided that the truth would be best. He began to use a voice amplification spell so it would be able to be heard by all of them and explained about the Lorcar ravaging and killing everyone on Militaria, the Warrior humans moving in after healing the planet completely which had taken a long time and the fact an earth quake had just undone most of their construction work.
“And so you see that I have come here to get supplies from this world to replenish the supplies on Militaria.†said Avaron finishing up his speech.
-
From the ships appeared 18 soldiers wearing Zarethian Powered Assault Armor, appearing with a bright, unanimous flash of a dazzling shade of lilac. The leader, wearing bright scarlet of the soldiers, with black trimming, stepped forward and lowered his pulse rifle and spoke with a deep booming, artificial voice, amplified by his, or at least the body looked like a male, helmet.
"We are the Zarethians, Stranger. We were once also homeless, displaced by the Lorcar over a hundred years ago." He started, calmly. "But no longer, as of no more than a month ago, this planet was given to us, by the generous Aralangs in exchange for us allying with them in a time of need. We will have to take you to a leader of ours. Come with us now if you please, we may be able to help." With that, the soldier snapped his fingers and a hover vehicle appeared. The soldiers got on and waited for the newcomer to board as well.
-
Nodding silently Avaron boarded the strange vehicle. He was full of questions about it and the armor that they wore but for now it would be wise at least in his eyes to hold his tongue.
Impatiently he waited for the rest of them to get on the thing so they could be on their way. Once he met with the leader of this place he would have the supplies he would need. Further their fleet might be able to knock some sense into Grunder about not glassing their planet.
“Very well. I shall accompany you for now.†His crystal comm began to beep. When he read what it said he began to nervously twitch.
-
The hover-tank flew for nearly an hour to the capital city of the Zarethians. It flew over wide, grassy planes, and cold, lonely mountains. When it finally came to a more urban area, the hover-tank began to descend , heading towards a large, imposing, octagonal structure that seemed to be their head quarters.
The vehicle came to a slow halt at the front of the black building; it was enormous, it had to be at least fifteen stories tall. The hatch slid down and the leader of the soldiers got up and motioned for Avaron to get up as well. "We are here. Inside you will meet the current leader of the Zarethians. I should not have to warn you, but I will, be respectful to him." With that he strode out of the vehicle and waited for the outsider to follow impatiently.
-
Nodding his head Avaron slowly got out of the hover tank taking note of it's shape, and color. He would ask for the blueprints for it later of course so his people could rise around in style. A lot of technology would be needed for them to put to their own use and that was one of the things along with food that he would request.
“Don't worry, I shall be respectful to him.†said Avaron. He knew full and well how to deal with other kings and rulers as he was a former prince and would like to have his power back as prince so he would handle things respectfully.
-
The soldier led Avaron through the the massive, yet well lit, corridors of the fortress. After walking for about 15 minutes of winding corridors and massive passageway, they came to a small, hardwood door that read Council Chambers.
The soldier opened the door and ushered Avaron inside. The room was large, and officious, with light gray walls and a deep red velvet rug in the middle. Around the circular room were 4 large chairs that sat 4 Zarethians of various ages and looks. Each looked up on their own turn, one bored, two excited, and another quite serious.
"My Lords and Ladies, Admirals of the Board, I bring to you Avaron of the Warrior Humans. He shall ask his requests of you. By your leave...." And with that formal introduction, the soldier left Avaron alone to do his dealings.
-
Avaron bowed as he entered trying to be as polite as possible. He stood up somewhat. “Lords and Ladies, it has come to my attention that the Lorcar are spreading like wild fire but they aren't the only threat in this universe that could cause problems.â€
“If you will permit me I will show you the other people that are threats.†He had prepared viewing crystals that would provide 3-d holograms with magic of the people that were threats.
-
They nodded and waved him on, interested, but not convinced of this stranger.
-
Avaron held out his hand and several different colored jewels appeared on a table he conjured using magic. Setting the jewels on the table he uttered a spell. “Iris Visiblos.†Immediately the crystals glowed and 3 dimensional holograms of the Anrufe members were showed. Each one of them had commited numerous crimes. Further some of their crimes were also shown.
He sensed the death of the Warrior humans. “In order to deal with that threat I will need time so will I be allowed to live here for the time being?â€
-
This time one of the members actually spoke. He was a large man with black hair tied into a pony-tail with with a ferocious face. "You wish to live on our planet? We don't even know these people, nor their crimes. How can we be sure that we can trust an outsider. Are you an ally of the Aralangs?"
-
He looked at them and the holograms morphed slightly showing the names of each of the Anrufe members.
He said “No. I am not an ally of the Aralangs. But I do have something I can provide for your people that you severely lack. Anti Magic is becoming too prevalent these days and with that so prevalent some developed techniques to manipulate energy that are not magic.â€
He continued. “I myself know two of these techniques Auv and Hura. I would be happy to instruct any who wish to know. Further you have my promise I will not harm any of your citizens.If you would like me to sign a blood contract stating that I would do so.†He knew their military would likely be able to handle that little upstart Red Zero and her accomplices.
-
The same member spoke again. "We are not afraid of you hurting our people so much as what you could bring with you."
-
Avaron listened to what he said. “None of the Anrufe can follow me. I made sure to cover my tracks very carefully.†He had woven a web around him that made it seem like his teleports had gone to many different locations so the Anrufe would be foiled. The web would reveal phony locations and never the true one until it was destroyed.
"If you want, I will do something to prove myself to your people."
-
"Go ahead. We can sit here all day."
-
Avaron looked at them. He knew just the gift to give their people and so he walked outside of the room and concentrated. He said to them with a voice amplification spell. “I will link your magic to this planet. Then you can expel any who you choose.â€
-
"How does it work?"
-
He would explain it as best he could to them.
“I merely take a bit of your magic and tie it to the land itself allowing you to control the land with your thoughts. You can make it project whatever kind of energy you want it to.â€
He looked at them. “But as a safety precaution I shall also be linked so that I can if the need should arise shut off the magic of people who come here who are not from this planet.â€
-
They thought a moment. "And we could throw anybody off our land? What if, gods forbid, the Lorcar attack?"
-
“Well if the Lorcar do come here they would encounter a few webs of my own left in the atmosphere that should if they don't figure out a way through incinerate them all.†He did not add that it would also work against the Anrufe should they come.
“Now I must link you.†He held out his hands and a bit of their magic left their bodies and fused with the sphere of his magic which merged with the land. It would understand that he controlled it more than they did, but allow them to control it.
“There. You are linked to the land. As am I. Should the Lorcar come well I don't think they would manage to survive all the traps I put up for them in your space. Which has left me drained magically so after this I should get some rest.â€
-
They looked at him odddly. "In our space? What of our fleet? How are we going to get up and down on our planet. We have our own defenses. They just aren't up yet."
-
"I scanned your magical signatures. The web will allow them and my own to get through. It will not allow for the time being anyone else's. It will incinerate them on contact." said Avaron.
-
"Alright.... You can stay. For now. Is there anything else you would like to discuss before you are dismissed?"
-
Looking up at the sky Avaron said. “If it is okay with you I might bring a few friends of mine here. A few magical creatures that thanks to the Anrufe and Grunder...have lost their home.†“Grunder is an ally of the Aralangs who just glassed Militaria. Likely they will have the planet destroyed so with your leave I will bring the Griffins to this planet.â€
-
"Not here, to the planet, no. But we can make a pocket dimension that is the same as the planet in space, where you can all stay." Another counciller offered, this one girl with long firery red hair.
-
Avaron would accept. The woman looked somewhat beautiful to him but alas, she was too old for him. He looked at her and nodded once signalling acceptance.
He exclaimed at that moment or rather queried “Will I be allowed to buy out one of your run down factories and repurpose it for my own uses?†He needed to have armor like he was used to along with Japae style weaponry at his disposal.
-
"We can have that transported to the pocket dimension as well." the same woman told him briskly.
-
“I would rather the factory be on your turf so that if the pocket dimension goes down for any reason...†He said. Avaron worried about pocket dimension integrity.
-
"Well," The first man started tentativley, "If you insist. Though I will warn you, if any danger comes from you being here or with us, we will destroy everything in connection with you and give you to who-ever wants you."
-
Avaron knew that what the Elder had said would work. If anyone came after him he would allow the Elder to turn him over willingly. However perhaps the pocket dimension would be best for at least the time being so he could get the Griffins ready. If they did give him over he would simply teleport. No problem would come from that.
“I highly sincerely doubt that anyone could come after me. Besides if my traps work on the Lorcar...most likely the rest of the galaxy will leave this space alone.†He said. "And now for that pocket dimension..."
-
They stood up and walked over to a stairwell that suddenly appeared when the red headed woman snapped her fingers. "Come." The man said, walking up the stairs. "We will make your dimension."
-
Avaron followed them without hesitation. There were no warrior humans left. The Anrufe had seen to that and later would be the time for revenge. Now though was the time for training if he were to ever get stronger he would need to train harder in Hura, Auv, Magic and Close Quarters Combat along with long range combat.
-
They lead him to the top of the building, and out into the blue sun's light. The roof was flat and large, with no other structure popping out of it besides the stairwell. The council went over to the edge and summoned a odd looking machine. It was i fact a pocket dimension creator.
The council member holding it, the man with black hair, pointed it at the grounds besides the structure and fired, causing a large purple ray to flash out and bathe the area in reddish light for a moment. The man put the contraption down and looked over at Avaron, "It is stationed in the space above our planet, where it is almost impossible to get to except for teleporting. "
-
“That should suffice for the time being now if you don't mind I will do a spell of my own right now.†He held out his hand and a yellow circle appeared one one of them which connected to the energy of the pocket dimension and a small bronze key appeared.
“Perfect.†He handed the key to the person before mentally directing the Griffins about where they needed to go.
“Now I am going to go in there and rest for a bit and then work up a spell to permanently protect your planet against the Lorcar. You have control of your planet but then again I did tie myself in as well to the link so that if I needed to, I could evict people.â€
-
"You will not evict any of our people." It was not a question as much as a command. "It is still our home."
-
“I wasn't referring to any of your people actually.†he said as he opened a portal into the pocket dimension they had told him about.
Next instead of going immediately in he took off his medallion and tossed it in creating an impromptu shield that would prevent any loyal to Grunder or the Anrufe from entering.
“Now I am going to get some rest before I aid you in defending this planet permanently against the Lorcar.â€
-
They nodded and went back to the council chambers to do other councilly stuff.
-
Avaron jumped through the portal closing it behind him so he could not be tracked. Immediately he began to get to work making his house in the pocket dimension so that he would be safe.
“Now for some rest.†He walked into the home he had constructed and entered it laying down on a bed he summoned using Hura and Auv simultaneously.
Within moments he was asleep.
