Getting rid of all the blood on his body took a while. But the refreshing feeling after that was really good. That was exactly what he needed at the moment and it also calmed his mind.
After getting himself some new comfy clothes he went to the garden where the people from the GP waited. At least what still remained from the force that he could find and save in all the mess that happened. The most of the others were already dead when he came by. And now probably were blown off with the planet.
It was a complete war on that planet. From the information, the clones gave him, the count of casualties was big but still better than to have been wiped out completely.
Reaching them he greeted them. "Hey there. Are you guys alright? I am sorry I didn't get there sooner.", he said and tried to apologize for the fact that he was late.
A yellow dwarf came forward. "It's alright, colonel Darc. We are soldiers. We know what we are up to. With lieutenant colonel Arkis´s help, we minimized casualties to a minimum. And I thank you on behalf of my man and myself that you saved us. I also got a question. Is Glaze...defeated?", saluted the dwarf to Darc and asked curiously after the formalities.
In the past few years pretty much every accomplishment Arkis did while he trained came to his name as well and he easily climbed the hierarchical ladder in the galactic police.
"Oh, first lieutenant Grell. It's been a while. So you were stationed to this mission. Well, I still will have to give in a report but what i can say is that Glaze is dead. With that, we can free the whole western galaxy and stabilize it. Now its all about hunting the cannon fodder remains of his forces. Basically a new beginning of peace.", said Darc after recognizing this dwarf alien. He also had a smile on his face.
Grell also started smiling, even laughing. "That´s amazing, colonel! No, I probably should address you major general now or even general? It doesn't matter. Its a truly happy moment. A lot of us fought so long already that we didn't think such a day would come. Hahaha, did you hear that boys? We finally won. Now we can return to headquarters and drink our fills. And after that, we can return to our home planets. It's time to turn the tides completely.", he said laughing even louder than before. The men that heard him also started celebrating.
Darc chuckled a little bit as well seeing these bunch of people celebrating after experiencing hell just a few hours prior. Well, its basically a soldiers mindset they got. So it's understandable that their eagerness to stop the tyranny in their galaxy is finished or least became a much lighter job now.
Then Darc noticed something that he didn't know. "We got a headquarters in the western galaxy now? Or are you actually going to the northern one here?", he asked Grell.
"No, sir. We already build one in the western galaxy. With your and Arkis help we swept through the galaxy pretty easily. Now our organization is back to its peak. Probably even surpassing our peak from before to a whole new level. And now that Glaze is dead the GP will gain a massive boost in reputation as soon as we use that to our advantage not many will play bad guys if they don't want to end up in jail or worse being executed by someone who is stronger than Glaze.", answered Grell and hinted to Darc.
Darc heard the words and sighed "Propaganda, eh? Well, it will help keep the galaxy somehow safe. But priorities right now lie in stabilizing since there are still threats from the other three galaxies that could become a problem in the western one. Now, let's get you all back to the outpost first. Since I wasn't at the headquarters yet I can only send you there. Gather together and touch each other so you remain in contact.", said Darc.

Grell nodded. "It's alright. From there we can get a spaceship. But your home planet sure is a nice one. I am even a little bit jealous. Man am I eager to get home!" Then he gathered everyone together and Darc teleported them away to the outpost. Shortly after he returned to Dr. Briefs side.
"Alright, with that done, my job will become much easier. Soon we can even open up a market for your products in the western galaxy, Hakase.", he told Dr. Briefs.
"You mean for the DynoCaps? Do you want to sell them there? Well, I am more interested in the tech they have, actually.", said Dr. Briefs and smiled that Darc actually planned to increase the market for his company.
"Well, if you sell your products there you could also get a lot of techs back to this planet as well.", explained Darc.
"That's good. I also like that idea. Just accept it, dad.", said Bulma from the side and she had a kind of business vibe around at this moment. No wonder she became the heiress of capsule corp.
Looking at her, Darc smiled "Come to speak of it. Here is a list I want the both of you looking at and see if you could make some of these basic ideas I have into reality.", he gave Bulma a piece of paper with a list.
Bulma took it and looked at it. "Planetary shield? Energy rifles, outer space living stations? colonization ships, terraforming?... A lot of these are pretty military. Well, the planetary shield would be something I would like to tackle actually. The problem probably will mostly ly in the energy we would need to operate such things and we would need to go through trial and error a lot. And then there is the amount of money. All these projects will burn a lot of it no matter what.", she said while thinking and Bulma´s eyes started to sparkle more every word she said.
"That's also why I want to extend our market to the whole galaxy. The DynoCap is a really useful tech. The rich as well as the poor benefit from it. We have a monopoly over it and with the GP keeping everything save we would increase our own economy as well as the one from other planets. A win-win situation. We also would make our own planet saver by our own hands and the fact that the GP would put more priority to us as well.", explained Darc a little.
Dr. Briefs also looked at the list now and was amazed at some of these concepts. "But isn't the situation here in the northern galaxy still somewhat tricky? How do you want to sell things somewhere else while it still remains dangerous here.", he asked Darc.
"Not by that much. Since we got the manpower to spare now while we stabilize the western galaxy the headquarters will probably send more troops here or prepare something to do so. And we will slowly win influence here at some point The higher-ups will probably send me somewhere else as well since I am more needed to get rid of the real problems in other galaxies." He stopped for a short moment.
"Besides. It's better at the start we don't get too much attention to ourselves here in the northern galaxy. Like that our partners in the other galaxies can strengthen themselves and we won't get too many problems. Just tell me what you want to have sent and I will work as a delivery man for the time. With my instant transmission, it's an easy thing to do.", said Darc and ended his speech.
He did learn to use the instant transmission a little bit more effectively. He could now even pick up tons of mass with him without a sweat or he just magically reduces the weight. It's the same result basically. Just like creating weighed clothes.
Bulma nodded and gave her father the paper. Then she actually grabbed Darc his arm and dragged him with her away.
Dr. Briefs only lit himself a smoke and started thinking about the things on the paper.
Bulma pulled Darc to her room and couldn't wait anymore. She was bold enough to ask him for another night at this moment.
Darc didn't know why she was like this after she was angry just a short while ago, but he was happy that she wasn't angry anymore and even actively asked him in a horny manner to have sex.
He actually found that cute and of course didn't deny her on that matter. Right now, he also needed some fun and relaxation.
Though, he will wear a condom this time.
