V.2 Ch.2 - Desert

*UDE Freedom*

I was sitting on the bridge of the capital ship as we made our way closer towards the planet Pantidrop. I still let out a small laugh every time I thought of the planet name. We had left the ArchAngel a little over four hours ago and I could see the planet coming into view. It was a bright sand colored planet, which led me to believe that it was mostly a desert. There were big patches of green here and there on the land I could see. I probably should have got a report about what the planet was like and not just its name, but when I heard the name I forgot everything else.

The planet looked to be almost seventy percent land and the other thirty is ocean. The sun honestly wasn’t that close to the planet, so I began to wonder why it was pretty much a desert. I pushed the thought to the back of my head and pulled up a file on the current ruler of the planet under my control.

The file came up on the main screen and Violet stepped up to speak, “The current ruler of the planet Pantidrop…” I interrupted her with a small laugh. She stopped speaking and glared at me. I grinned and had her continue speaking. She shook her head and continued, “As I was saying, the current ruler of the... planet is called Lord Sextum Lizardeous.” I raised an eyebrow, “Sextum Lizardeous? His name actually has the word sex in it? I guess it really matches the planets name.”

Violet nodded her head, “Yes sire, the planet is mostly a… lusty planet, to say the least.” I nodded my head, but then my expression darkened. Violet seemed to notice my mood and smiled a little, “As long as they wear your emblem, or I should say the emblem of the empire, they will not be touched.” I glanced at Violet and smiled at her ability to discern the reason for my mood so quickly.

I grinned, “That is good.” I looked over at Drexella, “Make sure that you, Violet, and the other girls have a cloak with the empires emblem embroidered on it before we land.” Drexella bowed, “Yes master.” She turned around and left to complete my command. I looked at Violet and saw that she had a small smile on her face.

I asked her a question, “So based on what you have said, is rape common on this planet?” Depending on how she answered will decide on whether or not the ruler of this planet will stay the same. She quickly shook her head, “Not at all sire. Though I will not say that it never happens, but when it does the criminal is usually sentenced to death. The ruler of the planet believes that the act of intercourse is not something to be ashamed of and doesn’t prevent anyone from doing the deed where they feel like, well except for the military men and in the palace. Order and defense must still be maintained of course. When those men are off duty it is a different story.”

I nodded my head, “So you mean to tell me that there will be men and woman having sex in the middle of the plaza?” She blushed a little, “It is possible sire.” I laughed and then shook my head, “While I agree with his line of thinking on the fact that intercourse between loved ones is not shameful, I couldn’t just let anyone witness my women naked.” At this moment Dani walked into the bridge and jumped in my lap. She smiled at me and spoke, “You scared someone may snatch us up dear.”

I laughed and pinched her nose, “They can try, but they may not be able to have intercourse anymore afterwards.” I was guessing that she heard the last part of my sentence and decided to tease me a little. Sylvia walked into the bridge next and sat on the right armrest of the captain’s chair. She looked down at me and smiled, “Don’t worry dear; I will take care of them.” I smiled and then motioned for her to lean down with my finger.

She leaned down and I gave her a quick kiss and softly said, “Thank you.” She blushed a little bit and straightened back up. Camellia walked into the bridge next and sat on the opposite arm rest. I smiled at her and she smiled back. I sighed a little in my heart; I am going to need to add a few more chairs to the bridge. Of course I should make it to where they can disappear into the floor or ceiling when then aren’t needed.

Not that I minded them sitting and leaning on me, but some of the looks from the mean were a little embarrassing. They were glancing at us and I could see the looks of envy. There were a few that were staring with looks of admiration and pride. I couldn’t understand what they would feel proud for, but those looks were the most embarrassing.

One of the crew spoke up at this time, “We are entering the planets defense perimeter! They are hailing us sire!” I nodded, “Patch it through.” He nodded and then put a video up in front of the windows. A slightly pudgy man showed up on screen. I was a little shocked at the fact that he was human, but I remembered that the draconian empire and the human empire where on friendly terms. It shouldn’t be a surprise that a human was working for the empire. Hell, I am a human and I rule the entire damn thing.

The man spoke and I could see some spit come out of his mouth when he did, “Ship, you are entering the territory of the planet Pantidrop ruled by Lord Sextum Lizardeous. Please state your identification and your purpose of coming to the planet.” Violet quickly spoke up, “We are here to visit the planet and check out its current status. I would like for you to let Lord Lizardeous know that His Majesty Vitamor has arrived.”

When the words left her mouth the pudgy man had a look of surprise flash through his eyes for a minute, but it quickly disappeared. He looked me up and down before speaking to Violet, “Do you have proof of his identity?” Violet looked at me and I nodded my head. I freed my right hand from fondling Sylvia’s rump and faced my palm upwards. My emblem gradually rose out of my palm and floated in the air.

From what I learned from Zellfina, someone else’s emblem can’t be projected straight from another person’s palm. So without the use of a hologram device with my emblem in it I am the only one who can project it straight from my palm. The pudgy man noticed that the emblem was coming straight from my palm and he quickly bowed, “Welcome to Pantidrop your majesty!” I motioned for him to straighten up and he spoke again, “I will send a message to the starport and tell them to allow the drop ships you are sending to the planet. It is unfortunate, but we do not have a starport big enough to accommodate your main ship.”

I smiled and told thanked him before I shut the connection down. A few minutes later there was a message that was sent to one of the crew’s computer. He quickly looked it over and yelled out, “They have been told of our arrival your majesty!” I nodded and thanked him before patting each girl on the butt. They quickly jumped up and we headed out together.

We headed towards the hangar and I saw Drexella standing there holding some garments. I figured that these were the cloaks I wanted for the girls. I saw that Xenova was already wearing one and Drexella was wearing her usual maid outfit, except for the new emblem stitched into the skirt.

Xenova had her hood down and the cloak really didn’t hide her busty chest, but it did good to hide the rest of her figure. Xenova handed a cloak to Sylvia, Camellia, and Dani. They quickly put the cloaks on while Drexella quickly sew patches onto the shoulders of Violet’s uniform. I decided that the military uniforms and those of the palace servants would have the empires emblem embroidered on them. The royal guards on the other hand would just have my emblem embroidered or painted on their armor.

Xenova was channeling magic to hide her wings and tail. I really didn’t mind if they were showing, because I thought that they were kind of hot. I didn’t know if the citizens of the empire would be as accepting as those on Chiron. Of course they weren’t very accepting at first, but when I told them that she was to be treated as my woman they immediately changed their attitude.

I still don’t understand why they just listen to everything that I say without question. I know I am their king, but I just became the king. I am also human which should mean there are a few prejudice ones among them, but since becoming king I haven’t ran into any. I don’t think they are all scared of me, but maybe they are. I looked at Xenova and remembered that I did stomp her into the ground when I was under the [Wrath of Asura]. She is a Space God after all and normal citizens would be scared of someone that can beat up a God.

 I decided not to question it too much; maybe I would find out later if I need to. Xylnick gathered a few men and entered one drop ship. The girls and I entered the other drop ship. The ship rocked a little and then we shot into space. The ships were equipped with [Gravity Magicae Saxa] making it to where we could walk around instead of float, but we were all buckled in because we were almost instantly in the atmosphere of the planet.

I looked out the window and noticed that it really was a desert for as far as my eyes could see. The green patches that I saw from space were the areas that had some cities built in them. The small patch of ocean actually had a big floating city on it that felt gloomy when looking at it. Even the shores closest to the floating city had a gloomy feel to them when I looked at them. What really shocked me was that the sand was actually black where I could feel the gloomy feeling.

The black sand was pretty close to a lush green city, but I couldn’t see any activity around the city itself. I was confused and decided to ask Lizardeous when I saw him. We flew along the black sand for a little bit and I could see draconians shambling about. When I say shambling I meant shambling. They looked like the walking dead with the movements they were making.

We turned in a direction from the sand and a few minutes later we were descending into a starport. Another thing that confused me is why we didn’t just drop straight towards the starport. Violet seemed to notice my confusion at this time and spoke up, “The starport is protected by a special type of shield. If anything below Immortal Rank tries to enter the starport from any direction besides the main entrance they will die. The ship will explode and the beings inside will dematerialize.”

I was shocked about such a shield and wondered why Chiron didn’t have any shields like that. I even asked Violet and she answered promptly, “Chiron is equipped with the same type of shield, but it is a little different. If the queen, or yourself now, where to designate someone an enemy inside of one of our cities and they were below the God Rank they would also be dematerialized. The shielding on Pantidrop isn’t controllable like the one on Chiron.”

I raised an eyebrow, “Why is that?” She smiled and then answered, “Because the queen said so.” I laughed and then shook my head. That sounded like Zellfina alright. Doing whatever she wants to, when she wants to. The pilot looked back at us and said that we could disembark. I stood up and then pushed the button at the back of the ship.

The rear end lowered itself and I saw Xylnick standing at the end of the ramp with the soldiers he picked surrounding the ramp itself. I nodded at the general and he saluted. I walked down the ramp and the girls quickly followed. I could hear murmurs from the crowd that had gathered, “Who is that human? Why are so many members of the empire’s soldiers surrounding him?” There were even a few murmurs that I was surprised to hear, “Who is that handsome human? He is surrounded by beautiful women, even a draconian woman.”

I was a little dumbfounded by that murmur, but the next one irritated me a little. There was a male draconian that spoke up, “Why are there so many mature woman surrounding that brat. Even though he is pretty tall for a human, you can still tell that he is very young. I bet he doesn’t even have any hair yet.” I started to get irritated, but I stopped. I couldn’t really get pissed at the man, because I was the one that chose the age of fourteen. I sighed when I thought that I would forever be stuck looking fourteen now.

Sylvia seemed to sense my gloomy mood because she spoke up, “Don’t worry about what he said dear. You won’t look fourteen forever.” I glanced at her in shock, “What do you mean?” She smiled, “Becoming Immortal doesn’t stop your aging until the age of twenty-one. Your body will continue to develop until then. As for their other comment, just because there isn’t any grass it doesn’t mean that the tree isn’t healthy. We can attest to that.”

I blushed a little bit and turned to look back towards the front. There was a whisper in my ear at this time, “When the grass does grow, so will the tree; at that point it will be hard for us to handle.” I don’t think that I have ever been so embarrassed in my life. I could feel my face burning and I could hear that the girls were giggling.

I was saved by Xylnick who yelled towards the crowd, “Everyone! Kneel before his majesty Emperor Vitamor!” The words dropped like a bomb and everyone in the crowd just stared at Xylnick. I was shocked at the use of the word Emperor, but I would ask later. I heard a few snickers and a couple murmurs after the announcement. I heard the same voice that made fun of my age, “This brat is our new emperor? Please, his balls haven’t even dropped yet.” I sighed and decided to try out something new that Xenova taught me.

I released my aura into the surroundings and then projected my emblem high above my body. She taught me how to use my aura to intimidate, but not harm unless I wanted too. It was a tough lessen, but I learned it fairly quickly. She was shocked that I learned it in two days when it took her years. I had just passed it off as being a quick learner and she just scoffed before leaving the training room.

I smiled thinking about that time and then made my emblem bigger. It was about the size of a blimp above the starport and my aura was causing those in the surroundings to tremble. Of course I wasn’t targeting the soldiers or the girls. The man who insulted me was sitting on the ground pissing himself. Those still standing that saw my emblem quickly kneeled down at the sight of it.

The ones who were able to all yelled at the same time, “All hail his majesty Emperor Vitamor!” I still found it hard to get used to hearing that phrase, but I knew that I had to deal with it. I waved at the crowd of people and they all stood up. Suddenly there was a fat man that ran through the main doors of the starport. He was surrounded by some guards that wore the symbol of the Pantidrop Kingdom. Every kingdom under the empire is able to hold their own military and their own symbol, but the empire has the right to use their militaries as its own and the emblem of the empire trumps their symbol.

The symbol of the Pantidrop Kingdom is exactly what I thought it would be. There were the legs of a woman with her panties slightly pulled down her legs. It was probably one of the most vulgar things I have seen used in an official way, but supposedly it has been that way for thousands of years and it could be worse honestly.

The fat man that had just ran towards me stopped and then kneeled down in front of me, “Your majesty Emperor Vitamor! I apologize for my late arrival; I was indisposed and rushed over as soon as I heard you were here.” I could smell something familiar coming from his body and I instantly knew what he was indisposed with.” I waved it off with a wave of my hand, “It’s okay, stand.”

The fat man stood up and I was finally able to get a decent look at him. He stood at five foot eleven and his waist was almost half of that. I didn’t know how much he weighed, but it couldn’t be low. The fat man then spoke again, “I apologize for my late introductions, I am Sextum Lizardeous. I am the King of the Pantidrop Kingdom and a humble servant of your majesty.”

He bowed and then straightened himself up. I smiled, “It is a pleasure to meet you Lord Lizardeous. I have come to check on the status of the planet and possibly recruit a few citizens of your kingdom into my army, if they wish to serve.” He nodded his head, “Let us talk about the planet in the palace and as for the recruitment, your men can set up in the main plaza and recruit anyone who is willing to join.”

I nodded my head and then told Xylnick to take his men to the plaza. He was about to speak up, but I stopped him, “You don’t have to worry about me. You know my rank, plus I have Xenova with me.” I hooked my thumb towards the sexy demon behind me and Xylnick let out a faint smile before speaking, “As you wish your majesty.” He then took the men towards the plaza and I followed Sextum back towards his palace.

While we were walking he started to show me the capital of his planet. It was named Majestic Cave and I could help but think it wasn’t talking about the rock kind. It kind of reminded me of an Arabian city back on Earth, except for the magic tools and different species walking around. Even his palace had that Arabian feel to it. It reminded me of my childhood when I watched Aladdin.

The doors opened in front of Sextum and he led us into the palace. The inside was very majestic and there were a lot of things made of solid gold. There was a sound coming from down the hall that sounded very familiar and it seems that I wasn’t the only one who noticed it. I saw that the girls were blushing, except for Dani. She seemed to be a little turned on and kept staring at me. I laughed at the sound of intercourse coming from down the hall.

Sextum apologized, “I am sorry for that. It must be my son and his concubines. They copulate daily and they are unrestrained with their voices. If it bothers you I can send someone to stop them.” I immediately rejected, “No don’t do that. I am a man and I know I wouldn’t want to be cockblocked. I also know that it is a sort of tradition to do it wherever you feel like in the kingdom.”

He smiled and then nodded, “That is true. Only the guards and the military are unable to have intercourse while on duty. Other than that there is usually fornication everywhere.” I could see that his eyes grew a little misty and glazed. I coughed and then he quickly came back to his senses. He quickly added something to what he said, “Of course rape is a no go. If someone is convicted of rape they are immediately killed on the spot.” I don’t know why he said that and why I have to hear this information twice, but I really didn’t care. I smiled and then nodded my head.

We walked into another room and the moaning quieted down and we weren’t able to hear it unless we strained. Even with my hearing I could barely hear it. Sylvia on the other hand could hear it still and her breathing got a little ragged. I grinned and then Sextum offered us a seat. He sat down in a big chair and I sat down on the couch straight across from him. The girls stood behind the couch and I grabbed Sylvia. I sat her down on my lap in a princess carry sort of position.

She was embarrassed and her breathing got even more ragged. I could feel the warmth of her lower half through the cloak and my pants. I could have left her standing, but she looked miserable and I didn’t want her to accidently start rubbing herself against the furniture. Sextum didn’t seem like he cared, it even seemed like he almost ignored it completely.

I slid my hand into the cloak and up Sylvia’s skirt. I could feel that she was dripping wet. She was kind of in a position that Sextum couldn’t see what my hand was doing, but I found out that Violet could. I saw that her face was bright red and she was trying not to look. I continued to relieve Sylvia’s uncomfortableness and talked to Sextum at the same time.

I looked at the man and then spoke, “So my first question is about the gloomy feeling city I saw.” He seemed to tense up when I brought that up before he spoke, “That used to be our planetary prison. It was where we held our various prisoners at.” I raised an eyebrow, “Was?” He sighed, “Yeah there was a Rank SSS Necromancer that showed up on the planet a few months ago. At first he was okay and then a few days after he landed on the planet he started to rape some women. I immediately dispatched my Rank SSS guards to kill him, but when they barged into his residence they discovered a sight that caused a few of them to pass out.”

I was shocked, “A sight that made a Rank SSS pass out?” He nodded his head, “Yes, we discovered that after he was done playing with the women he would have his zombies play with them.” I was also shocked and I had to keep myself from throwing up. Sylvia climaxed at this time and she bit my shoulder to hold her voice in. I heard the sound of someone trying not to throw up and when I turned around I saw that Violet, Drexella, and Dani were all pale faced and Dani had her hand over her mouth.

I felt bad for the girls and I was happy that Sylvia was in too much ecstasy to really hear what was going on. I removed my hand from her skirt and sat her beside me. She leaned her head against me and just sat there in a little bit of a daze. I looked back at Sextum and spoke through gritted teeth, “Why didn’t your men kill him? Why was he locked up?”

He sighed and put his head in his hands for a minute. He finally looked up and spoke, “They tried, but he was extremely strong with his undead troops beside him. We were only able to trap him in a special confinement, but once he was in the confinement, we couldn’t touch him. It is the way that it is designed. It can hold anyone below the Immortal Rank in it for years. We were waiting for an Immortal Ranked being to pass by so we could high them to kill the Necromancer.”

He continued speaking, “Unfortunately, the Necromancer was able to reach the Immortal Rank and broke out of his confinement. After that he killed everyone on the island and turned them into his undead minions. After that his ‘taint’ started to spread across the waters to our continent.” I immediately understood what the black sand was and why the city it was close to looked empty. Sextum must have evacuated the citizens when the ‘taint’ started to get close.

I asked him a question, “So why didn’t you ask another kingdom in the empire for help. Surely there are kingdoms with an Immortal Ranked being in them.” He nodded his head, “There are, but the nearest one is actually someone we are at war with.” I was instantly shocked, “The kingdoms under the empire actually go to war against each other?”

He nodded his head, “All the time.” I sighed, “That really doesn’t help the empire that is facing the demon’s invasion.” He nodded again, “I agree, but it isn’t against the empire’s rules.” I sighed, “I can’t do anything about that either. Preventing kingdoms and people from settling their grudges isn’t a good thing. It can end up with a lot of bad consequences in the long run.”

Sextum nodded his head again, “You are right your majesty.” I sighed and then quickly spoke, “We will take care of your necromancer problem.” He was excited as he spoke, “Really? You will really take care of it for us?” I smiled, “Of course, your kingdom is part of my empire and if you are in need I really can’t just sit here and do nothing.” He smiled and then jumped up before kneeling in front of me, “Thank you your majesty.”

I laughed and told him to get up. He sat back down in his chair and I spoke again, “You don’t have to thank me for this. Even if I wasn’t your Emperor I would take care of the Necromancer for you.” I can’t stand rape and just knowing about what he made his undead troops do caused me to leak a little aura by accident. There was a hand on my shoulder and I looked up at its owner.

I saw that Violet was smiling down at me and I could feel the anger in my heart dissipate a little. I released some air and looked back at Sextum, “We will go ahead and take care of your Necromancer problem now and other things can wait. I need you to make sure that these girls aren’t bothered while I am gone.” He looked at me with a shocked expression, “You are going by yourself your majesty?”

I shook my head, “No I will be taking one of the girls with me, but the other girls aren’t ready for an Immortal yet, well Sylvia is, but she seems a little out of it right now.” Sextum grinned when I said that, but he didn’t say anything. He quickly told me he would make sure they were taken care of.

I nodded and stood up grabbing Xenova’s hand. She was a little shocked and her face turned red, little did she know I had found out some new information about one of my spells. She was about to say something, but before she could say anything I used [Image Teleportation] and we disappeared from the palace.
