Elprede sensed the power levels incoming and decided to simply wait for them. If nothing else, he could take them on by himself. Only the Frost Demon, whose Ki he recognized immediately, would be any sort of threat to him. In the meantime, he looked over his shoulder at Valkyrie and Era.


"Took you two long enough," he huffed. "Thought I was gonna get all the fun to myself. Don't blink."


He shifted into his Primal Form in the blink of an eye, the bright flash of light blinding everybody who was looking. He was instantly in action, appearing behind each pirate and hitting them in the pressure point at the base of the neck. He applied a controlled amount of force equal to their power levels to each spot, totally harmless, but leaving them unconscious. When everybody who was blinded was able to see once more, the pirates were on the floor and Elprede was in his original place. He raised an eyebrow at the pirates.


"Real crew of slackers you got here," he mocked, but shook his head. "They'll be out for a bit. Don't worry, they're all be fine except maybe a mild headache or two. In the mean time," he looked around the area, ear twitching. "Got a ton more incoming in a sec' here. Probably should take them out so they don't annoy us."


Just as Elprede said that, people began pouring in from all visible angles to pillage the goods of their ship. Either they were stupid or they thought that they had the strength in numbers against them. They would find out they decided to pillage the wrong crowd soon enough.

Era and Valkyrie looked to one another as Pyro powered up. Valkyrie's Scouter read 100,000, and she smiled from ear to ear. She and Era looked to each other and began to play rock-paper-scissors. Era won two out of three rounds, much to Valkyrie's chagrin.


"Fine, but Elprede and I get the rest." She said.


"Not a problem at all." Era replied.


Era floated up so she was face to face with Pyro. In fact she was almost within one arm's reach of his aura.


"I am going to enjoy our battle, Frost Demon. Valkyrie and Elprede will do us the favor of keeping everyone else out of the fight, so feel free to come at me with all of that wonderful power of yours." She said confidently.


With that said she let her aura flare, but her power remained steady at 15,000. The instant the Frost Demon attacked, she'd be ready to power up and match his level in order to give him a nice big surprise.

Elprede laughed at Valkyrie and Era playing Rock-Paper-Scissors. Of course it would be such a childs game that decided who got to beat the tar out of Pyro. Though, of course, if Pyro went into his Final Form then he would have to take over, unfortunately for Era and Valkyrie. He assumed they wouldn't let him get up to that level either way, considering how hard-pressed they would be to get an angry Frost Demon at full power off their back. Not particularly a thing Elprede wanted to deal with, honestly.


"Give him a good punch for me, Era!" He yelled up at her. "I got some bandits to demolish."


He turned towards the bandits, his arms crossed over his chest. His toothy grin never waved, however, they seemed reluctant to attack just from looking at his own power level, not to mention the three that were still behind him. If they had any knowledge at all, they would realize that he was just as dangerous as them in terms of what he could do. His speed made his attack power skyrocket in comparison to his actual power level, in whichever case, they didn't want to be hit by him or them.


"You know, sir, I almost feel bad for them." Jasmine said. "Almost."


Poor bastards. They're going to regret attracting us with fake signals. He thought.


He let his Primal Form dissolve. It put a form of exhaustion on him, his Ki pathways tightening at the sudden shrink. He may not be able to use his Ki for a few minutes, however, he did not need that for dealing with a few morons. Elprede walked towards them, baring his fangs in a smile. This was gonna be fun.


The bandits said something in a tongue he didn't recognize, but he didn't care, either. They all charged at him at once, apparently figuring to overwhelm him through sheer numbers. When the First punch came, it was redirected and the force of it was absorbed by Elprede. He used that extra energy to plant a firm kick into the bandit's stomach. He saw him cough up blood before flying away, knocking others down in the process. They kept coming, multiple at a time, and the silver fox danced between a flurry of blows, dealing individual hits to each one when the opportunity presented itself. He was only going as fast as he needed to, though still barely visible to the eyes of anyone who looked.


After a few minutes, he had annihilated nearly half of them on his own, disheartening those who were left. Elprede put his hands behind his head and floated up, his Ki having recovered from the few minute brawl by now. "Your turn, Val," He said, pointing at the remaining forces. "Have fun."

Their somthing not quite right... I figure out of those two she'd be smart enough to not fight me one on one... Well I geuss there's only one way to find out... Pyro thought as Era flew up to him. "You got something up your sleave or somthing monkey? Well let see what it is." Then he pointed his open palm at Era. "Black death cannon!" Pyro said fireing large ki blast at Era.


"Now lets see what you got dirty little monkey" He said smirking after fireing the ki blast.


Meanwhile the bar were the purates were partying was now on fire. "Maybe he shouldn't of left us alone... How mad do you think he'll be?" Pirate asked watching the burning building with bartender crying in front of it.


"Very..."


@ChoShadow @Deathrattle BB
 
Valkyrie was about to go in and start cleaning house with the bandits who sent the false signal when Elprede got to work. He attracted the most attention with his speed and theatrics, and before long he'd taken half of them down. Valkyrie watched this and was more than a little annoyed.


Little show off. She thought.


When he was done he floated up and backed away, letting her know that the other half were hers and said to have fun.


Finally, Valkyrie smiled. She cracked her neck to both sides and rolled her shoulders as she got into her stance and powered up to 40,000 which was about as high as the strongest among them. She didn't want to beat them all too badly. She wanted to enjoy herself and have some fun. She raced into the fray and prepared to take them down in her dear sweet time.


Meanwhile Era was floating up in front of Pyro as he charged a blast he called "Black Death Cannon." Era floated back as he charged the blast, giving her some space to move about. As the blast was fired she waited patiently for it to come closer before simply turning her body sideways and moving out of its way. Even with her power level suppressed she could momentarily draw on her full strength at any moment of her choosing thanks to her training methods, and was able to easily evade the blast despite being at such close range.


After the blast exploded in the background she floated up closer to Pyro and gave him a slow clap.


"Not too bad Frost Demon. You know part of me might shed a tear when this is over. If you decided to use that power for something other than terrorizing people weaker than you, a rather wasteful and cowardly pastime I might add, you would make an excellent sparring partner." She said, putting her hands on her hips and waiting for his next move.


@ChazGhost 


@Deathrattle BB 
 
Elprede watched Valkyrie get ready to dispatch the remaining of the now terrified bandits until, when he sensed moving energy, turned to his left to see a huge blast of Ki heading his way. Only one thought occurred to him in that moment.


OH SHIT.


He quickly spurred himself into action, scrambling out of the way of it. He disappeared for sight, only causing a torrential wind to tell anybody that he had moved. When he appeared next time, he was standing on top of Pyro's head, looking down at him.


"Watch where you're shooting, dude." He barked. "You almost shot me." He waved innocently and flew a bit away from them to hopefully a more safe location.

"So you can dodge my attack at close range, still" Pyro said smirking. "Not much other choice for a frost demon these day." Pyro added with a sigh. Then he heard somone talking and looked up to see Eleprede. Pyro pointed his finger at him and fired just as he  flew away. 


"I feel as through none of you are taking me seriously. And you know somthing? That tickes me off! So how about I show you why you should take me seriously... And then I'll kill you" Pyro said very annoyed.


Then he started yelling as his power level increased. Then his body started changing, getting bigger. A trail of spikes popped out of his back going from his neck to his tail's tip. Then after a few seconds it was done... and Pyro was in his second form.


"Now little monkey I'm goimg to kill you and then skin the little fox for standing on my head." Pyro said in a deeper voice then usual. Then he quickly rushed at Era getting ready to slam his tail down on her.


@ChoShadow @Deathrattle BB
 
Era watched Pyro with a smile as he powered up and took to his second form. His declaration about killing her and skinning the fox earned a chuckle, and as Pyro rushed her Era rapidly powered up, letting her aura flare, and caught his tail in her hands a few inches before it would have struck her in the head.


"Normally I'd be impressed or dead, but you've no idea the power that I have obtained since our last meeting. Even this form is not enough. Not against me!" She yelled.


Keeping his tail in her hands, she spun Pyro around like a rag doll before throwing him down hard into the ground. She flew up and away to give herself distance and time to react if he came after her again, but it didn't really matter.


Era had zero time to react before she saw a shadow slowly coming over the landscape.


Meanwhile, Valkyrie had taken her dear sweet time in picking apart the bandits who sent the false distress signal and she was having a lot of fun with it. But when the shadow began to cast itself over the battlefield Valkyrie too was given pause. She powered up to prevent any sneak attacks from doing any damage, but it seemed that what remained of the bandits were just as transfixed as she was.


Era, Valkyrie, and the bandits all looked up into the sky and the faces of the two Saiyan women drained of color.


It was them.


"Lucky you... Wrong day to die." Era said down to Pyro.


One of those wretched ships with the enemies who's power was in the millions was rapidly descending on the planet. Era flew over to Valkyrie and both women powered up to their absolute maximums of 247,000 and 265,000 respectively. They knew they'd need it.


Their Scouters began going haywire reading thousands of power levels numbering in the 50-80K range. Not that big of a deal for them in their current state, but still the sheer number of enemies was horrifying. Even the Frost Demon would be hard pressed in his current form to take care of these enemies by himself.


The bottom of the ship opened and a single humanoid entity not terribly dissimilar from a normal human, save for a few "scaly" regions of flesh, floated down. His power level was currently measured at only 100,000, but both women knew that was a front. It was obvious by his calm demeanor and body posture that his power was vastly superior to what the Scouter was reading.


"Well met ladies. I believe the last time I saw you there was no time for introductions... You were on the Outpost planet we destroyed, were you not?" He asked.


Both women glared at him.


"You needn't worry my dears. Today I do not wish to bring you to death. However, I do wish to warn you that your pursuit of power must end here. Your increase has not gone unnoticed by our spies, and despite the fact that you pose no threat to our Master he still considers it a threat that you have even come this far. Stop trying to get stronger, or I will be forced to kill you. Please do not make me do that. It would be such a waste of talent. Why not join us?" He asked calmly and as politely as he could.


"We don't even know who or what we'd be joining. What's our incentive?" Valkyrie demanded.


He chuckled.


"Forgive me. I forgot my manners."


He bowed to them.


"We are the Darkhoods, and with our power we shall soon subjugate this galaxy and all those who inhabit it. It is the will of our Master that true power be left to ascend to its rightful place while the weak either perish or bend to our will. If you join, it will hardly be anything except worth your while. With your power and potential, you could both rule your own planets. What do you say?"


"I think your Master has a screw loose." Era retorted.


He sighed.


"May I take that as a "no"?" He asked.


"Make an educated guess." Valkyrie barked.


He shook his head.


"Very well... It's such a shame. I had not wished to cut you down like this in your prime, but if you will not fold then you must be removed from our path immediately. Farewell."


He began powering up, and both women's Scouters instantly destroyed. They watched as he continued to power up for almost twenty full seconds before reaching his maximum power.


"Ladies, my power level is approximately 2.25 million. Neither of you have a chance of defeating me or my army... I'm sorry it came to this, but it must."


He said as he prepared to attack.

@Deathrattle BB
 
Elprede watched with a certain level of disgust as the same people from before that destroyed two planets before decided to shop up, again. He was starting to get fairly annoyed with these people, all things considered. Why did they seem to have a hancor for messing with them, especially when they were in the middle of doing something else? They didn't know when to quit. Elprede didn't know when to quit, either. Possibly a trait he picked up from his godly half.


That still sounds weird even in my head, he mused.


"Still no less true, unfortunately or not," Jasmine quipped. "Will you be dealing with him?"


The silver fox shrugged. "Sure, why not?" He asked. In that split second moment that the new man was about to attack, Elprede appeared and delivered a kick that barely missed right to his side. The force would have knocked him away regardless and he straightened back up, shooting Era a subtle wink in the process. He pointed his eyes at the Darkhood, crossing his arms.


He had heard of these people before, which would explain why they seemed to have Nephelem technology. They started off as a radical group of Nephelem who tried to assassinate him several times during his youth. They eventually created a sect that called themselves the 'God Hunters,' tasked with killing any beings whose power could rival that of their Master. They saw him as a threat due to the nature of his heritage, being a silver Nephelem and having such a connection with the First God. The Darkhoods harbor great fear for the First God, regardless of how power their Master had become. Their greatest fear was him gaining the First God's immortality, the power to be invincible. Undying.


He had a bit of a score to settle.


"Yo, they're busy, dude. Why don't you come see if you got what it takes to hit me?" He pointed upwards with his thumb. "Up there. Let's go. Bring your army, too. no point in going out to bust every other planet, huh?"


"Er... sir, do you know what you're doing?"


Yes. Yes, I do.


@ChoShadow @ChazGhost
 
When Era said Pyro was lucky he looked up and said "Go to hell dirty monkey." Then got up and dusted himself of , he had a few scratches here and there but he was okay other wise. Then he listed to scaly humanoid talk. Is he real only worried about those dirty monkeys... What about me... I was at both the planet they destroyed... I'm one of the most wanted men in the universe... And doesn't extends the same offer to me... I wouldn't take it of  course but still... He just went on the top of my list now... Pyro thought to himself very annoyed.


Then he heard the man say he had power level of 2.25 million he was about to debate to himself if he should turn into his final form and mop the floor with him and take his forces and ship as his own. Then the fox attack him. Then Pyro just grind and decide to wait to transform again after the fox gets the hell beat out of him. "Ohh this is going to be good." Pyro said calmly smirking ready to watch the fight until it was he was his time to join.


Only if I had some popcorn... well either way they'll get rid of the dirty monkey and the fox... Then I'll come in and wipe them out... Pyro thought walking over to a rock and sat down.


@ChoShadow @Deathrattle BB
 
The half-scaled humanoid was more than a little surprised when Elprede appeared out of nowhere and used the speed of his attacks to knock him back a little. However, he straightened himself out and smiled with great amusement as he watched Elprede try and posture as if he had some kind of monopoly on the balance of power.


"You can do what you like, little fox. I'm not here for you..." He said, looking to Era and Valkyrie.


"I'm here for them." He said with finality.


He then looked to Elprede and smiled at him.


"You aren't fooling anyone, little furball. All of the Darkhoods know the secret of the Silver Nephelem. You are the embodiment of a fragment of the First God. Despite that, you can do nothing to me physically outside of annoy me by using those pesky fly-by tactics to knock me back a few meters at a time and interrupt some of my weaker Ki blasts. But the instant you try to hit me with any of your famous speed, you die along with me. If you intercept one of my most powerful Ki blasts, you die, period, because no matter how fast you move your body cannot withstand such a vast difference in power."


He chuckled a bit before continuing.


"Such a sacrifice would be in vain for there are over five hundred thousand of my best and brightest warriors on board that ship waiting to come down and annihilate this planet and all who inhabit it upon my command... And worse still, for you at least, there is a fleet of over fifty million strong within less than one hour's distance from this planet." He said with a confident smile.


He then looked to Era and Valkyrie again.


"The weakest of my loyal followers on board the vessel you see in the sky has a power level of just over 45,000. The strongest, next to myself, has a power of 1.6 million." He said.


"Ladies, shall we go somewhere more private? That little dust bunny is only going to get in our way. If you have any pride as Saiyans, accept my challenge and die with dignity. If you do accept, I shall kill you and depart leaving this world and all others on it in peace. If not, I'll just kill you now and be done with it while giving my army the go ahead to annihilate this world and all who inhabit it without mercy, and their blood will be on your hands." He said.


"Make your choice."


Era and Valkyrie exchanged a glance. They knew his power eclipsed theirs by nearly a complete factor of 10, but what could they do but accept? They were Saiyans. Prideful by nature, but not ruthless or murderers. They couldn't stand by while this being threatened the lives of everyone living on this world. They had to accept.


"Very well, but know this: You will not find killing us to be so easy regardless of how powerful you are." Era warned him.


His smile widened.


"Excellent. Then follow me, please."


He then glanced to Elprede.


"If you follow, I'll kill them without a fight. So stay here and relax a while."


He glanced to Pyro.


"Ah... So you are here too eh? I suppose the bounty on you would be worth it later. But not this day. You keep your head for now." He said as he started to fly off.


Era and Valkyrie followed him warily, keeping their eyes open and their minds sharp in case he suddenly started to change his mind and attack more suddenly. But nothing happened. He flew with them quietly and casually without the slightest hint of aggression until they were around fifty miles away from where Elprede and Pyro were still waiting.


"This is far enough... But I wouldn't want your fox friend to feel left out." He said.


He then pressed a button on his collar, and the bottom of the ship opened once more and the army he promised to hold back began to pour out of it.


"Gutless coward!!" Valkyrie screamed.


"Oh don't worry ladies, it will be quick. Your fox friend is fast, but he only has two eyes and two ears. Despite his speed his mind can only focus on one thing at a time even with that pathetic excuse of an AI in his brain. There are five hundred thousand things to concern himself with now. If he's smart, he'll retreat. If he really thinks his speed and heritage will save him from five hundred thousand highly trained and blooded veteran warriors from across the galaxy, some of whom have speed to rival his own and power levels far in excess of that which he currently holds, then he's an idiot and you were better off without him... Now... prepare yourselves!!"


@ChazGhost @Deathrattle BB (I'm going to use my next post to begin giving Era and Val the beating of their lives while you two have fun with his army and prove him to be grossly misinformed about the situation at hand.


Also, as a point of plot, Pyro's final form gets to kill this SOB once he's had his fun with the army. So don't feel the need to rush this. Have some fun with it and really let loose with your writing and drag it out as long as possible. When it's time for Pyro to get the last kill, I'll let you know in a little footnote like this one. Until then, keep posting. Half a million enemies is a LOT of enemies and I want to see you guys really dig into this.


Enjoy you two!)
 
Elprede's smirk widened. So they knew after all... of course they knew. Why else would the God Hunters exist and have tried to hunt him down several times? He had only been assuming such information up to this point, but now, having confirmation straight the the horse's mouth, he knew exactly what he was going to do. He knew exactly just how much this man was underestimating his abilities. His eyes narrowed.


"You're going to need more men." He chuckled through a growl.


He had no idea what kind of suicide trip he is sending himself into now. If the situation really called for it, Elprede would gladly punch his lights out. Even if it killed him in the process, unlike this man, he was immortal in many ways still. For one, the next one to take his place would retain all the powers he had gained thus far and would only further them beyond what they were before. The mind of the First God and himself were beginning to become one--he saw things in sharper focus, heard more, all of his senses grew stronger. His focus was resolute and unwavering.


All of these traits, and possibly more, would only be passed on to the next in line. Eventually, the First God would return, that seemingly unstoppable force that used to rule the universe with utter fear. He couldn't even tap into a hundredth of that power yet, but he will soon. He could feel it within himself. He wanted to push himself to the very limits of his biology. Hell, he wanted to become something even stronger than the First God. He was not thirsting for the power but it was still wanted, and needed. The Darkhoods needed to be dealt with, the only solution was to become stronger than them. He was not the only one who probably had this mindset, either.


He had six eyes and six ears. Himself, Jasmine, and the First God.


He could sense the many power levels headed his way. Hundreds of thousands of them being unleashed all at once, streaming towards him and Pyro.


"I hope you're ready for a fight, you better power up to your max," he said to the Frost Demon, grinning. "We've got a whole army all to ourselves."


He ducked as a Nephelem soldier suddenly appeared behind him, throwing a roundhouse kick at him. He spun around and came back up, dealing his own kick to the side of the Nephelem's temple with his toes. He saw the whites of his eyes leave him as he was instantly sent flying, skidding and slapping across the ground, either unconscious or dead. There was a particular reason that most Nephelem dare not challenge him, and the others knew that reason. He was the pinnacle of their power, never having been defeated by a single one of them. Instead, they held back respectfully from Elprede and did their cultural salute towards him. He reciprocated the gesture.


"If you don't plan on killing me..." he said, glowering at them. "Leave now."


One of them, a brown and spotted female cat, responded with laughter. "Yes, of course, my Lord. Shall we return to Zaero?"


He shrugged. "Do what you want. Hell, kill your comrades for me if it suits your fancy." He leaned over to peer behind them. The massive army blotted out the sky. "Make your decision quickly, though. They're closing in."


The few Nephelem there huddled in a group, discussing their options. It took them but a few seconds to come to one and then gathered up on different sides of Elprede, in combat positions. Elprede threw his head back in laughter. "Oh dear, I wonder how they'll feel about knowing they had Nephelem traitors among their group? You're all quite strong, as well. Thanks for the support."


A burly pure white wolf cackled. "Don' mention it, boss. Happy to deal a bit o' hurt to these dimwits." He said, eyes shining as he stared up at the main bulk of the army. "This'll be interesting, to say the least."


The silver fox nodded. A blue fire was setting in his eyes. "Indeed. This is going to be a brutal struggle, but regardless of outcome, at least we will have taken out many more of them than us. Ready, Jasmine?"


"Always, sir." She chimed. Combat Mode was locked in and ready to go. "Let's show them why you're called the Lord of the Nephelem."


He smirked and floated up into the air. "Let's go!" He roared, shooting forward towards the army. He appeared in front of them almost instantly, followed by his newly found comrades. Together, they each dealt a devastating kick to the lead members of the army. They knocked each of the men out in an instant, each attack well-placed into a weak point in the head. They continued raining destruction upon them until they all finally noticed. The combined screams of rage from the many different races and members of the Darkhood army was deafening, but they were resolute. Their resolve was unshakable.


Elprede was easily the most deadly force out of all them there, however. He weaved his way through the battlefield like a true master. His counter attacks were perfect, his dodges at a perfect pace with everybody around him, all of his attacks were set to kill. When he struck their pressure points, when he exploited the weakest parts of their bodies, they fell to the ground, dead. He was a cyclone of terror in the center of the battlefield, alone. Enemies kept coming at him and they just kept dropping like flies.


The traitorous Nephelem among them began attacking their comrades out of the blue at the sight of Elprede. The Primal Form commanded their loyalty, combined with the dominating will of the First God reinforcing this fact. The consciousness of the immortal being hung heavily in the air, at its strongest near Elprede. It empowered the Nephelem, causing them to enter their own multicolored versions of Primal Form. They were the vessels, Elprede and the First God were the catalysts to them, unlocking their hidden potential.


They fought in packs, forming walls that defended attacks from every angle. Any enemy that came close who was not above a power level of 300,000 was slaughtered relentlessly. The merciless Nephelem stood fast against the onslaught, not a single blow touching their bodies from their comrades. Unfortunately for the Darkhoods, due to their training of the Nephelem, they had become one of their biggest assets and largest weakness. While their power levels alone would seemingly be enough to put them high above Elprede, he had unprecedented knowledge of Ki and combat now. They were utterly hopeless to match his speed or this keenly refined new mind of his, but could keep up in building what they already have into something greater.


By the time the army realized they should pull back and reconsider their strategy of simply charging in against the Nephelem, they retreated a bit away from them briefly, allowing each of them a reprieve from the combat. They were yet to be even somewhat touched, and they weren't even remotely tired yet. Elprede was grinning uncontrollably at the army they had just brought into a stand-still. A few thousands of them were already on the ground, unconscious or dead, either way they were not getting back up.


"Aw, what's the matter?" He asked, making a pouty face. "Are we a bit much to handle?"


The Nephelem surrounded Elprede like a shield, stanced and ready to fight. "Dunno, Lord, I think they're scared," one of them said cheekily.


Elprede chuckled heartily. "Well, there is good reason for that," he mused.


"Of course." A white, brown and black fox said. "Fortunately, we aren't foolish enough to attempt to fight you. We all know what happened to Sturar."


Elprede sighed. "Regretfully, it had to be done. Enough of that now, we have an army to finish off."


With that said, they all charged the Darkhoods once more, their intent to kill.


@ChoShadow @ChazGhost
 
Pyro watched the head of the darkhoods that were here fly of with the two sayains. "I was hoping watch him beat the hell out of them... Now what to do" Pyro said right before a large army started flooding out off the ship. "Don't give me orders fox, besides my full power won't be need... But my final form will be if the man wasn't bluffing." Pyro said standing up.


Then started yelling again and started transforming, skipping over his third form and into his final form...


lord_arctic_real_final_form_by_legofrieza-d6obthn.png


(The eyes are really white and the parts that are blue should be black)


"It has been a terribly long time sense this form been needed... Lets hope the man wasn't kidding about his army's strength." Pyro said smirking. His power level was currently 345,000 but it kept going up and up in large amounts every second.


He started flying up into air and smirked. "Let the fun began. Dive Bomber!" Pyro said creating two large ki ball in each hand and dive down into the center of army, creating an large explosion. It killed a few and severly hurt many more. "Well your all atleast durable, so this be atleast mildly fun" Pyro added smirking. Then looked in the direction of a large part of army and charged straight in. His powet level at that moment was over a million. He then started going hand to hand with the army, tossing many like flys into the air with his tail and used the rest of his limbs to beat the hell out of the others.


Then as was about to knock another guy out, his fist was caught by a blue skinned man. "I'm afraid little demon I'm your next oppent" The man said. "My power level 1.2 million will be enough to take care of you" He added.


Pyro looked at him and started laughing in his face. "The funniest thing is you believe that." Pyro said as power level now went over two million. Then he broke out of the mans grasps and grabbed him by the throat. "You know you could of been a useful member of my crew but hey look at the bright side, your boss will soon join you in hell!" Pyro said charging up and having poower level now go over three million. His hand that held the blue man started to glow and fired a ki blast point blank. The man survied some how but was was out cold from it. "I geuss I didn't put enough power in it" Pyro smirked knowing he did it on purpose. After he killed thier boss and show them how powerful he was, he planned to take their ship and expand his crew...

Era and Valkyrie prepared for the fight of their lives against a foe who's power was 10x greater than theirs, and they were not happy about it. They'd had poor odds before, but not like this. Even if this humanoid whack job was wrong about the chances of Elprede and Pyro against his army, he himself was still more than the two women would be able to handle on their own. They'd need a miracle to get out of this one alive.


"Ready ladies? Here I come!" He yelled.


The women tensed, and he disappeared and reappeared behind them slamming them both in the back with a single kick each. They went flying and struggled to right themselves against the blow. It took around three or four seconds to gain control of their momentum and turn back around to face their opponent.


He floated in the sky with a smile, waiting for them to make a move.


"Bastard." Valkyrie muttered.


Era nodded.


The two of them took a breath and charged, keeping their eyes glued on him as he sat there patiently waiting for them to reach him. Once they had, they began to let loose with a flurry of punches and kicks hoping to slip at least one by his defenses. But it was no use. He effortlessly blocked and/or evaded their attacks as if they were moving in slow motion and it was hard for them to even keep up with what he was doing to prepare and unleash their next attack.

(This is all I can manage before work. Feel free to continue posting without me okay. You don't need to wait for me in this battle.)
 
The brutal brawl that happened when the Nephelem charged the forces of the Darkhood army was horrifying, to say the least. Horrifying for the Darkhoods. They were clearly outmatched by several supped up Nephelem, each one that came near Elprede underwent a massive increase in power level, further making it easier to destroy their enemies. The Darkhoods stood no chance at all, though kept pouring on them in hopes that they would eventually overwhelm the little animals. They were gravely wrong, judging by the hundreds of soldiers that dropped to the ground, dead, every few minutes.


It was hardly a fair fight for them, Elprede's Primal Form was enhancing the Nephelem's already ridiculous power levels to massive extremes. They all were only growing stronger, as well. Elprede seemed to be undergoing a very quick gradual increase in the strength of his Primal Form; with every enemy defeated, he absorbed a tiny morsel of the First God's power that clung to that soldier. It was everywhere, though no matter how small, it only served to build up and make him stronger. The Primal Form also drew in the power of the First God from the other Nephelem, transforming their natural powers into what it was before. The Primal Form was a conduit of the God's energy now, like a lightning rod that drew in power.


Elprede, however, barely noticed it through the haze of battle. He was only truly aware of what he was currently doing--delivering deadly pressure point attacks to anybody foolish enough to come near him. He ducked and danced between all the different Ki blasts, absorbing them and using that extra energy to deal his own devastating blasts, or redirecting them back onto somebody else. He was a blue and silver cyclone of death and destruction. The Darkhoods would certainly remember how handily they were defeated by him this day.


"On your sixth, sir!" Jasmine said.


Elprede turned and back flipped over a Ki blast. Using this new momentum, he delivered a hard kick to the head of one of the soldier's coming at him from behind. The silver fox saw the lights in the man's eyes die as he plummeted to the ground. Elprede floated upwards slightly, two pairs of fists missing him by inches. They tried again and he ducked under them this time, leading to the two soldiers punching each other hard in the face. They recoiled, each doubling back to rub their sore injuries, leaving them open to a blackout kick from Elprede. They dropped, unconscious.


He could feel thoughts that weren't his own in his head. His body twitched and reacted to things he was not even aware of yet, moving to dodge or counter attacks coming his way he had not even seen. Elprede, Jasmine, and the First God worked in perfect unison with one-another. The beautiful teamwork between them was on display now for all to see. The First God may not speak, but he knew exactly what to do and when to do it. Elprede and Jasmine were the God's instrument of war, battling away the evil that was currently upon them.


There would be no survivors of this army. They all knew that. Yet, still, the Darkhoods numbers were starting to dwindle as the bloody struggle carried on. They came at him in less troves, however, that also meant the coming of the better fighters. Soldiers with higher power levels, better skills, more training. They still were not a match for Elprede's ungodly speed and agility. None of them could even begin to try and land a hit on him before they were knocked unconscious by a well-placed strike to their pressure point. Whoever was unaffected by his pressure point strikes was quickly taken care of by the other Nephelem, whose power levels easily trumped them now. They had already insanely high power levels, all of them above 200.000 with the exception of Elprede. With the increase of strength they gained from Elprede, a few of them went over a million.


When Elprede saw Pyro enter the fray, he battled his way over to the Frost Demon. "Yo, wanna call a temporary truce to deal with these clowns?" He asked, sidestepping the kick of one of the soldiers and hitting him with his Nerve Attack. The soldier plummeted to the ground. "I mean, you can get your revenge on us later, plus get some cool stuff from them if you help us. Its a win-win in my book, we get to live a bit longer, too."

"I was already planning to take their ship either way, but I'll hold off killing you and the monkeys for after I deal with these small fries and their boss" Pyro said agreeing to a truce in his own way. Then he went back to fighting.


He flew into the air and started jungle  ki balls in his hand. "Ladies and gentlemen their is a thousands to die in the universe, let me show you a way have fun to die... Well for me but not you of course.  Jugglers meteors!" Pryo said as the ki ball got bigger and bigger before he threw them up in the air. At this point the ki balls were the size of trucks. "Hey Foxy be careful" Pyro said snapping his fingers and the ki balls started falling down and creating large explosions. The Darkhoods started trying to dodge the ki balls and there explosions that came from them. But it still took out hundreds of them.


Then Pyro floated down back into a large part of army and said "So who wants to go next after I did that". The men stood still for a moment before coming at him again. "Well I guess you are all dumb... But what fun would be if you were not?" Pyro said smirking before charging at them. And what he did next could only be called a slaughter. Men went through the air either from explosions or plainly being thrown. 


"What... what the hell I though this was suppose to be slaughter? " One Darkhood said watching this.


"Of course not, it's a massacre" Pyro said appearing behind the darkhood smirking evilly. The darkhood peed himself as Pyro throw him across the battlefield. "Ohh this is just to much fun" Pyro said having the time of his life as a new wave of darkhoods charged out of their ship. "And it just begone...:" Pyro said before starting to laugh like mad man.


@Deathrattle BB @ChoShadow
 
This can't be happening... Valkyrie thought.


Even if his power was 10x greater than theirs, they should have been able to land at least one attack every once in a while. So why could he always see through their attacks and evade them? Every punch which hit the air or was blocked was energy wasted which was only helping to bring them down further and make his fight easier.


Era's thoughts were similar to those of Valkyrie. She too was wondering why it was he was dodging every attack. They should have been able to land a few here and there. Era saw through his attack patterns despite his speed and she was doing everything right to take advantage of them, yet he was still dodging and blocking everything.


Meanwhile, back at the ship, it was becoming clear that the meager forces were being overwhelmed by the powers of Pyro and the Nephelem who were now allied with Elprede. An S.O.S. was sent to the main fleet, but rather than an army of enemies sent to extinguish them, a single personal vessel emerged from the Mothership and immediately entered warp space on a collision course with the planet.


It would take time for him to arrive, but it would be soon enough...


Back at their fight, Era and Valkyrie hit the ground hard causing large plumes of dust to fly up into the air. The two women coughed and gasped to get their breaths back, having both been struck in the stomach and then in the upper back sending them down into the ground. Once they had their breath back, they looked to each other and winced in pain.


"Any bright ideas?" Valkyrie asked.


"I wish I did... I can see through his attacks, but I can't take advantage of the weaknesses of his fighting style." Era replied.


He smiled as he floated in the sky.


"Sorry ladies, but the gap between our powers is simply too great. Even if you can see the gaps in my style, I'm far too fast for your reaction times to take advantage of them before I see your next move and put a stop to it." He called down to them.


Good hearing for a humanoid.


Era and Valkyrie stood up and composed themselves before powering back up and attacking again. There wasn't much they could do except continue to fight and hope that their teamwork would produce an opening the could take advantage of.


... Back on that personal vessel, it exited warp space just outside the planet's atmosphere and came to a dead stop. The main door opened and out emerged a single entity. It was a humanoid shape, but it was no human.


Its flesh looked like it was charred, but it was in fact comprised of microscopically interweaved scales. It had four glowing yellow eyes, a stout nose and mouth with numerous sharp teeth within. On his shoulders were a pair of armored plates which were natural to his body, and these plates were also over his knees, elbows, and even around his ankles which protected his joints from being twisted. His musculature was also four times denser per muscle fiber than those of almost any other humanoid species in the universe, making it inherently stronger and faster than other humanoid races of comparable size and power. At just over 7' in height, he was quite the specimen.


The combination of microscopic interweaved scales and the advanced musculature made him one of the preeminent fighters in the Darkhoods despite only having a power level of 10 million compared to the Master who's power was literally unmeasurable.


His name is also unpronounceable in humanoid languages, but he was given the moniker Scourge by his colleagues and underlings due to the fact that no matter how hard someone hit him or how powerful a Ki blast they sent his way, his body absorbed the blow and protected him from almost all harm save for a few minor burns when the Ki blast came from a powerful enough source.


Scourge looked down at the planet and frowned.


So this is the planet that they are hiding on is it? He thought.


He analyzed the planet's surface and saw a flash of light which could only come from a Ki attack to the North. He then floated over slowly and casually keeping his power level greatly suppressed and made his way over to where Valkyrie and Era were fighting with the annoying SOB who threatened to kill them. He wanted to see this for himself.


Back at the fight, Valkyrie was down and her body was smoking from the Ki attack which had caught Scourge's attention. Era was up, but just barely. In the short time they'd been fighting the annoying one had been wearing them down and finally decided he'd had enough fun. He gave them both a rather ruthless set of attacks which put them down pretty hard. Era's left arm was broken already just above the elbow, making it useless to her. She stood there letting it dangle to the side with her left eye shut because of a bit of swelling just below it.


"Done already?" He asked.


Era growled through her teeth and he grinned.


"Well now I-..." He stopped, spinning around as he sensed Scourge's energy slowly descend upon their battleground.


Sure enough, there he was. He floated down with his hands at his sides observing the battle with those four glowing yellow eyes, and as he analyzed Era and Valkyrie he looked to the annoying one and snorted.


"W-why are you here?! Stay out of this! It's my battle to finish!" He yelled.


Scourge crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked back to Era who was now growling through her teeth at him too.


Spirited... I'll give her that. He thought.


Valkyrie rose from the ground. She was shaky on her feet from having taken such a big blast, but she was still in one piece as she took her place beside Era and glared defiantly up at the two humanoids.


So that one... He thought, looking at Valkyrie.


He closed his bottom pair of eyes and then opened them to look at the annoying one.


"What?!" The annoying one demanded.


Scourge didn't say anything, but it was obvious he was using some means of telepathy to tell him to stop playing around. Scourge flew away and disappeared back into the planet's atmosphere boarding his ship and returning to the fleet via warp space. What would he report? Who knew? Scourge was a mystery even to his own in the Darkhoods.


"Well that was tedious despite how short his stay was... Well then, it seems the time has come ladies. I'm sorry, but our fun has to end now." He said.


Era grimaced as she saw the telltale signs of his incoming charge. She couldn't stop him. She'd have to take it. This was not going to be pleasant. She and Valkyrie were already being pushed much farther than they had ever been before due to the sheer power difference. What more would they be forced to endure before it all came to an end?
 


@ChazGhost


@Deathrattle BB
 
Era should't have asked the silent question of "what more would they be forced to endure?", for the answer was one she had been unprepared to truly accept or deal with.


She and Valkyrie had been utterly decimated in this fight. They'd barely landed a single good blow, Era landing one with her good arm thanks to a distraction from Valkyrie. But that blow served to do little other than annoy him. In his rage at this annoyance he essentially tortured the two into submission in a much longer and drawn out fight than he had originally intended. He also managed to break both of their Scouters leaving them with no way to communicate with Elprede or anyone else they had come to the planet with.


But there was one thing he hadn't seen in his zest to get back at them this whole time... Era had been leading him back towards their original location.


Each time she engaged him and got him to hit her, she strategically positioned herself in-between him and the location of Elprede and the Frost Demon. When she was hit, she flew in their direction a little bit more. When she had time during his attacks on Valkyrie, she flew back towards them a bit further and he followed when he was finished attacking Valkyrie. Then she'd get hit again, and again she'd be thrown towards them.


Apparently he still hadn't realized it yet.


"Well ladies... How do you feel?" He asked.


Valkyrie was only just hanging onto consciousness and refused to answer or engage this wretch in conversation. However, Era was something of a different story and, despite her condition, smiled.


"Wouldn't you like to know?" She asked.


Valkyrie's barely conscious form clung to life by a thread. Her back was broken just above the tail, but her nervous system was remarkably still in tact and thus she still could feel her legs... Though that wasn't exactly a good thing as both of them were broken along with her left arm. Almost all her ribs were broken, and she could feel a crack in her skull just above the left eye. Not only that, but she had numerous other small fractures throughout her body. All of this was causing her pain like nothing she'd ever felt before in her life...


If she survived this, she'd be sure to get back at these Darkhoods for all they did to her.


Era was a similar story in terms of her injuries, though instead of both legs broken it was both of her arms. Her back was in tact, but all her ribs were broken as well as her left leg in eight places. She too was barely holding onto consciousness and life, but her smile made it seem like she had so much left to give.


"You don't even realize where we are, do you?" She asked.


"What do you mean?"


She chuckled, coughing up a bit of blood in the process, but then continuing to chuckle.


"Take a look behind me and you'll see what I mean." She said.


He blinked and looked up, finally realizing where they had slowly been moving to.


"What?" He asked himself.


"Now... Even with all your power over the two of us. Let's see how well you stand up to the full power of a Frost Demon!" Era said.


She used what remained of her Ki to fire a blast straight up into the air. The blast exploded just above their position, a clear sign that something was going on. The annoying one looked up at the blast and cursed under his breath.


Era only hoped it would be enough to attract the Frost Demon's attention to this one's presence.


@ChazGhost (Pyro is now free to fight with this one and kill him at your leisure. Do please drag out the fight a bit and enjoy it.)


@Deathrattle BB
 
Elprede smirked as the once great battle was starting to teeter on the brink of the end. It seemed the Darkhoods had no more forces left to give at the moment anymore. Most of them had been beaten bloody and broken, only maybe a few thousand remaining, and any of them that were smart were runing for their lives. He didn't have to do anything much anymore except scare the occasional Darkhood that thought to come near him. The other Nephelem on his side dealt with the remaining forces at their leisure.


No longer in the heat of the fight, he could freely look about and try to finally Era and Valkyrie finally. It didn't take him long, considering rooting them out for him among many others wasn't very hard for him. Though what did shock him was how low their power levels felt... That was extremely troubling. Hopefully they would make it out of this alive. He'd rather not be left alone to try and save the Saiyans.


He tried his communcations again and sighed. I've had about enough of this. Jasmine, run countermeasures, please. He thought, watching them.


"Countermeasures enabled, sir." She paused for a few moments. "All connections have been successfully restored. Power level scanning disabled."


He silently whooped. "Score one for the Elprede and Jasmine. I would hit them with an EMP, but... Just blocking their communications will have to do. No signal from them gets out of this fight until it's finished."


"On it, sir."


He turned towards wherever Pyro was and yelled. "Hey, Frost Demon! I found a toy for you to play with!" He pointed to the Darkhood that curently had Era and Valkyrie on the ropes. "You want him? I'll finish up the rest of these morons."


@ChoShadow @ChazGhost
 
Pyro was toying with some darkhoods at this point. Most of them realized how bad of an idea it was to fight him and started trying to avoid him.Key term, Trying and not succeeding. "Five million is more then enough for you clowns huh..." Pyro said looking at the bodies around him of the darkhoods. Then he notice a hi blast go off into the sky before Elprede yelled about the head darkhood. "I'll happily take care of him, just don't die by these small fries, I want to kill you myself" Pyro said with giant smirk on his face before flying of to the head darkhood.


When Pyro got their he noticed that Era and Valkyrie were clinging to life by a thread.  "Well I see you little dirty monkeys are having trouble. And to think your acting so high and mighty earlier. I'll enjoy killing, but..." Pyro said looking at the sayains before turning to the darkhood. "I prefer to do it when your not already about dead. No sport in it. So for now I'll just kill you"  Pyro said pointing at the darkhood.


The darkhood backed up a small bit before shaking his head. "I don't care what you are, when I came here you were getting beaten by them and as you can see I'm far stronger then..." The darkhood was saying before Pyro quickly came down and slammed his tail down on his head. The darkhood's head went straight into the ground. 


"I'm sorry were you talking? Sometimes my tail has a mind of it's own." Pyro said floating a little back. The darkhood recovered quickly and charged at Pyro. Hemanged to punched Pyro in the gut but Pyro just shook his head. "Come on now, you can do better then that." Pyro said before kicking the darkhood in the face and knocking him into nearby hill. The darkhood came back quickly again  and this time Pyro wasn't able to just knock him away quickly. The punches and kicks came quickly. Pyro was faster then him but he didn't see the need to go any stronger than five million so he got hit many times.


"Just die frost demon" the darkhood said sending a kick straight to Pyro face.


Pyro caught the darkhood's foot and then looked straight into his eyes. "The names Pyro. I'm not just some generic frost demon. I am the captain of the vortex... and soon the captain of your own ship" Pyro said before he let go of the darkhood's leg and blasted him point blank with a ki blast. The darkhood got sent back and was breathing heavily to catch his breath. "So what are you in the end? Some little flunky of some bigger man , or maybe just a little scaly dog failing his master?" Pyro mocked.


@ChoShadow @Deathrattle BB
 
Valkyrie and Era were both barely floating above the ground to prevent their broken legs from having to touch the ground, so when Pyro finally arrived and started fighting the Darkhood, they both nearly fainted from exhaustion and relief that the fight was no longer theirs to worry about.


Valkyrie rotated herself horizontally and laid herself down very softly on the ground with what remained of her Ki. Once she was flat, despite the searing pain through her body, she finally passed out.


Era was not far behind. She floated down on her one good leg and tried to find a way to sit or lay down without doing further damage to her shattered ribcage. But it was no use. She was forced to lay herself down the same way Valkyrie did, and against the pain shooting through her head and body she too passed out after a few seconds.


The good news for the girls was that Elprede wasn't far away. They could only hope as they passed out that he'd find a way to convince the Frost Demon to leave them be for a while.


However...


During all of this confusion as Pyro dealt with the annoying bastard who beat Era and Valkyrie down, the remaining forces which were fleeing returned to their ship and the bay doors closed behind them. One or two of the Nephelem who'd allied themselves with Elprede tried attacking it as hard as they could and with their most powerful Ki blasts, but nothing happened. It was as if the hull was made of some kind of strange and indestructible material which seemed to absorb the Ki blasts and redirected all of the impact force of their physical attacks across the entire surface of the vessel.


As Pyro continued fighting, the ship disappeared into the atmosphere and began returning to the main fleet as fast as its engines could take it. They'd failed, and though they knew the punishment upon their return, it was better than remaining to fight the Nephelem and Pyro which would mean certain death. They'd take the punishment when they got back.


Meanwhile the Nephelem who'd previously allied with Elprede watched the retreat and sighed.


"Well now what do we do? We can't go back. We're traitors now." Said one.


"Too bad. Between the First God and those rat bastards, I'll take the First God any day." Said another.


"True. But we can't stay here. They'll be sending out their assassins now. We may not be among the most powerful of their ranks, but our Nephelem abilities make us too great a threat to ignore. I imagine they'll be sending Nagmere after us before long." Said the first again.


"You really think they'd send him after us?" The second asked.


"No doubts, really. He's the only one who can match our speed and turn it into a straight fight. With the power level difference, it's no contest. We need to get out of here."


"What about the First God?"


"We have to let him deal with this his own way. He's one entity, we are many. It's easier to track a group than an individual. So for his sake, let's get out of here."


"... All right. Let's at least go let him know what he's in for."


"Agreed."


While Pyro was fighting, the Nephelem all gathered together around Elprede and told him a little bit more about the Darkhoods. They didn't know very much, as none of the grunts were really told anything about what the higher ups were planning or what they wanted. But what little they did know was that the Darkhoods had a structure to their organization.


At the top was the one simply called "The Master" who's power was literally unmeasurable. The Nephelem had heard that his Ki couldn't even be sensed, which seemed accurate because no matter how "close" they supposedly were to the Master's location they could never sense the overwhelming and unmeasurable Ki he was said to possess. As to what race he was or if it was even a male, they had no clue.


Below The Master was his second, the "Highmaster." The Highmaster was very similar to The Master in that his Ki couldn't be sensed either. Again they had no idea what race he was or if "he" was even a "he."


Below the Highmaster was a group called "The 15 Lords." Each of them had a power level which could be sensed, but the troubling thing was that one of the Nephelem had been close enough to sense the power of just one Lord and was almost overwhelmed to the point that they nearly fainted just from the weight and pressure of his aura. And that was from over fifteen galaxies away.


Below The 15 Lords were the Wraiths, the strongest of which had power rivaling the 15 Lords. The weakest had a power level that was still overwhelming, and couldn't be measured properly by any kind of device nor could the Nephelem properly sense exactly to what depths it went. Nagmere was one of the Wraiths, which is why they weren't looking forward to having to run away even if they knew it would spare Elprede his wrath.


Below the Wraiths were the Enforcers. The Enforcers finally had Ki that could be sensed and properly gauged by the Nephelem when they were close enough. From just over four galaxies away they could sense the beginnings of the weakest member's Ki. Even with their extensive knowledge and mastery of Ki, at four galaxies away they were getting that same repressed and pressured feeling they got from the 15 Lords' weakest member. When they got a bit closer, three and a half galaxies away, they got dizzy and light headed.


Below the Enforcers were the beginnings of the bottom of the barrel. Next in line were the Hunters. The Hunters were a step down from the Wraiths in numerous ways, but fulfilled largely the same purpose of being the "assassins" of the lower divisions. The strongest of them was just barely strong enough to compete with some of the weaker Enforcers, while the weakest was at a level which the Nephelem could actually be within the same solar system before feeling that pressured feeling and the dizziness again. But still, they couldn't gauge exactly any kind of definitive number for his power level.


Next were the Captains who were in charge of keeping order among "everyone else" which comprised the lowest rung of the ladder which was next. Captains had an average power level of just over 40 million, the weakest of them being the annoying prick whom the Saiyans and Elprede had met today with a power of just over 2 million. The strongest of the Captains supposedly had a power level breaching 180 million. Quite the daunting number for the second lowest run of the power level ladder among the organization that was the Darkhoods.


That was about all they knew. They didn't know where the Master or Highmaster were, nor did they know where anyone above a Captain was. Everyone above the rank of Captain rarely, if ever, communicated with the rest of the group or engaged in any kind of direct actions to assist or guide them. The Captains were the link in the chain which could communicate with Enforcers, and the Enforcers with anyone and everyone higher than they were. If Elprede wanted to know anything more, he'd have to get his hands on a Captain who was in a position to talk which wouldn't be easy as they all were taught a suicide technique which they could use within a fraction of a second if ever they were defeated.


Elprede and the Saiyans would have their work cut out for them trying to deal with the Darkhoods from this point onward, as this army and the asshole baby Captain sent against them were literally the weakest that the Darkhoods had to offer which told Elprede what the Darkhoods truly felt about the current "threat" of the First God.


@Deathrattle BB @ChazGhost
 
"I'm not a dog" the darkhood said charging at Pyro. He jumped and shot a large ki blast at Pyro.


Pyro sighed as he pointed his open hand at the ki blast and the darkhood. "Black Death Assault Cannon!" Pyro yelled a large blast pushed back the darkhoods blast and quickly headed to darkhood. The darkhood tried to dodge but it ripped through his right arm. "Looked ike you just got disarmed." Pyro said smirking.


The darkhood looked stunned as he looked at his or what was his arm. "my...my arm... How dare you!" the darkhood said enraged. He then  charged at Pyro in a blind rage. Pyro easily dodge his punch and grabbed him by the neck with his tail. Pyro then slammed him into the ground.


"Time to end this." Pyro said holding the darkhood down as he aimed his palm at him again. Then he fired a ki blast point blank. The darkhoods head was no longer there a moment later. "Now to my new..." Pyro said relieved before looking up and saw the ship take off. "Damn it..." Pyro said under his breath looking up at the ship leaving. Then looked at the now dead body and then at the two sayains. "They will become a lot stronger after getting that kind of beating, if they live of course" Pyro said walking over to the saiyans. "Lucky you two, I've been looking for a decent fight." Pyro said smirking over them.


Two pirates arrived at the battle site to check on Pyro. "Sir what going on... Wait isn't that your final form?!" the pirates asked surprised to see Pyro in his final form.


"Don't worry about that for now. Go get the doctor from on of the local towns." Pyro commanded the pirates.


"Why sir?"


"Because they maybe worth killing later if they survive." Pyro said looking down at the sayains again.


The pirates looked at each other before quickly flying away to a local town.

Elprede made sure to deal with the remaining forces that tried to stay and fight him accordingly; by sending them to their just doom down with the rest of their beaten comrades. He found it particularly amusing, if extremely morbid, that they had the will to try and battle them for so long. If it was him, he would have called the retreat much earlier. If 50,000 soldiers couldn't take down a few people within a couples minutes at most, then it was probably high time to get the heck out of dodge. They were too strong for any ordinary people to fight and he wasn't intent on calling a suicide run into them repeatedly, much like what most of these idiots did.


After making sure that the ship left the planet, he could only presume that they were flying back to the rest of their fleet to report on their humiliating defeat. The thought that came to his mind, however, was when they would be back. Most likely in even greater numbers than previously, in which case... they'd better get the hell out of here as quickly as he could.


He flew down back where Era and Valkyrie was


JJ, scan them, please. He thought to her. He saw his vision blur with a bunch of statistics and lines of code for a moment before he blinked, closing them out. He sensed the other Nephelem approaching him and turned to acknowledge them. He listened, ears pricked and tail swishing back and forth idly. He looked down at his feet, closing his eyes and processing this new information. So they had only been fighting the bottom of the barrel so far, he could only imagine the topmost level of Darkhoods were actually able to hunt and kill gods. He wondered if the full strength of the First God would even be enough to see this through... or if the Silver Nephelem would be around long enough for that to happen.


He shook his head. He had more important things to worry about than the Darkhood's hierarchy at the moment, which included looking after Era and Valkyrie. Elprede shooed the Nephelem away. "Go, get out of here. I doubt Zaero would be very safe for you, not to mention the danger you might expose it to." He said. "Thank you for your aid, it's time for you to go and hide now, though. At least until we're strong enough to truly pose a challenge to the Darkhoods."


They all nodded and exchanges glances with each other before saluting Elprede. "Good luck," one of them said. "You'll need it."


Elprede watched them fly off and disappear somewhere out into space. In the meantime of waiting for medical aid from somebody, he gently lifted the Saiyan women and carried them off to his ship, stuffing them both into rejuvenation pods and activating them. He sat down in the main controls room, sighing as he leaned back in the chair heavily. This was going to be a long, difficult struggle for them all.


@ChoShadow @ChazGhost
 
Had Era and Valkyrie been awake they'd have marveled at the one clever thing the enemy Darkhood army did during the battle: they managed to use their troops continued assault to distract Pyro and the Nephelem and took the change to remove the Saiyan's ability to get off world safely.


Both Pyro's ship and the ship which brought Era, Valkyrie, and Elprede to this world were damaged beyond repair in terms of the engines and communication systems. All spare fuel was destroyed and burned away by Ki attacks. The rejuvenation chambers were operating on what power still remained, but it would only last for a few hours at best which would hardly be enough time given the condition of the two women.


This mean that Era and Valkyrie were stranded on this planet now. Elprede and Pyro could both survive in a vacuum, but neither of the Saiyans could. Even with Elprede's speed the laws of physics still applied, and if he tried to race them through space they'd either implode from space's vacuum or they'd be torn to ribbons by the sheer speeds at which he was capable of moving.


If they were to survive, they'd need help and fast.


Communicating with Zaero was out of the question at this time due to the damages their ship sustained, and if Elprede left to return to Zaero to get help his speed in space still had its limits. Thanks to the oh so wonderful laws of physics it was known that as one traveled at increasing speeds their internal mass increased in proportion to it and thus the power needed to continue propelling the object to greater and greater speeds increased exponentially along with it as well. Elprede's own power level was his limiter even in a vacuum, meaning he'd only get so far beyond light speed before he'd reach a speed ceiling which he couldn't go beyond because he wouldn't have the energy needed to overcome his increasing internal mass and continue to go faster. Even at 100x the speed of light, it would take him several dozen lifetimes to reach Zaero.


One light year was five quadrillion eight hundred and seventy eight trillion four hundred and ninety nine billion eight hundred and ten million miles in length (5,878,499,810,000 miles). The galaxy they were currently in was just over 140,000 light years across. They were around 65,000 light years away from Zaero thanks to the wormhole technology which got them here, but the wormhole tech was also destroyed making it useless to them now. Even if it was possible for Elprede to reach 100x the speed of light (as a theoretical example), Elprede would only be able to travel 100 light years in a single year leaving 64,900 light years left to reach Zaero. At that speed, assuming he never had to stop to eat or rest which was not true of his species, it would take him 650 years to reach Zaero if he never stopped for anything. He'd have to look much closer for help, and it was not known whether or not there were any friendly or helpful peoples living in this sector of the galaxy.


In short Era and Valkyrie were screwed unless Pyro had a way out of this mess and was willing to spare them long enough to see it through.

The pirates brought a doctor from a nearby town to Elprede ship or well what was left of it. "Wow this looks pretty bad. How the hell did you get here in this hunk of junk?" Pyro said looking at the wrecked ship as the doctor started studying the two sayains condition. "Well if you are willing to pay, I could provide you a ride to a nearby planet" Pyro said smirking to Elprede.


Then another pirate came to location and rushed to Pyro. "Sir, bad news! The vortex was attacked and destroyed!" The pirate said worried.


"WHAT! What the hell happen!?" Pyro yelled.


"We were attacked by high power level men and they destroyed the ship!" The Pirate said.


The Darkhoods... They attacked our ships while I busy dealing with their armies... Clever but I will kill them for this... Pyro thought with clenching his fist. "Get the rest of the crew to spread out and try to find a ship worth buying or taking!" Pyro demanded. The pirate quickly left and spread word quickly to the other crew members using his scouter.  "Great, just great... Now I'm stuck here, with you and two out cold monkeys" Pyro said with a deep sigh. "I'm getting drink at the bar." Pyro said before flying away and back to the bar.


The pirate flew all around the world but didn't find any ship that would fit their needs. There was small ships but none that would fit Pyro's crew or go to high enough speed to make it to any far away planets. A pirate reported this to Pyro who was now back to his base form and drinking at the bar. "Great jut great... Go to one of the bigger ships and buy it, We can at least try to get off world before the darkhoods come back... Or maybe we do wait for them to come back... And then I take there ship" Pyro said smirking as he started coming up with plan.
