As the morning passed by and the two Saiyans that had awoken from their feast heard the call, they made their way back to the Saiyan base. After all some things needed to be said and cleared.
This time, Bann received both Saiyans outside as he spent his time eating, chatting and trying some techniques while Cielo eyed him with attention.
Looking over the two figures approaching Bann let out a snort while he exclaimed "Here, at last, these two finally came." While he cleans away the sweat from his forehead.
*TAP* *TAP*
*BAM*
Eyeing the two figures that showcased clear differences in height, that almost looked comically, Bann held out his laugh as he said to them "Good morning, sleeping beauties. Where the hell have you been?"
Rucule eyed Bann with solemnity as he asked with a scoff "Doing the same thing as you, consolidating my wives and forging ties with two noble houses while promising other things to others." Bann nodded his head in approval while he crossed his hands in front of his chest.
His eyes then made a beeline downwards at Aprit, who reached Rucule's waist as the kid stood in akimbo position while a grin never left his face.
"I think I have already impregnated a handful of human women hehe." The rascal boasted while Bann couldn't help but raise an eyebrow while mocking him.
"You sure 'bout that? Shooting blanks won't lead you anywhere boy." There was a clear smirk on Bann's face.
Rucule eyed Aprit with another smirk as he roasted the kid "Your balls didn't even fall and you already believe that you can breed humans, heh."
While Bann let out a loud laugh of mock, Aprit's cocky grin faltered as he glared at both Saiyan's adults with anger while saying out loud "You will see later on! I will have lots and lots of kids!" Yet laughs were the only thing that answered him.
Pointing his finger at Bann's and Rucule's, he defended his honour "And those women said that I was 'So virile and energetical' so stop saying crap!"
Bann almost choked on his spite as he went red from laughing while Rucule raised his head upwards, his eyes closed in laughter.
Trying his best to walk towards Aprit, Bann was barely holding back his laugh as some smiles escaped from time to time. Swiping away one tear from his face he patted Aprit's shoulder while he said in the utmost effort he put into sounding proud "I'm sure you did, kiddo. Now tell me, what have you spoken with those houses."
Although Bann wanted to still make fun of the kid, time was running and he couldn't waste anymore now that he had both Saiyans in front.
Thus he heard with attention everything that the kid relayed, although it wasn't much since he had spent the three days banging some women, instead of coming back to further talk in regards to the plans.
Nonetheless, Bann made sure to tell him what to order after returning. And with Rucule they briefed the kid on what he needed to know about the warp. Although he didn't seem to take it seriously, it didn't matter as the Navigator would be forced to train them.
"We'll be competing, the ones that take their capital to advance faster and produce their first ship will be the ones who will rule this planet." Bann after a while of speaking with the two said to them.
Aprit nodded instantly as fire gleamed in his eyes while Rucule eyed Bann with apprehension as he said "Whoah, where does that come from?"
Staring at Rucule while sitting on the ground with a relaxed posture, he answered "We need incentives to later on conquer more planets. Each world would be the home of our Dynasties. And I plan wholeheartedly to grab the first one for myself."
Rucule remained silent for a moment as he contemplated Bann's words until he opened his mouth "But isn't counterproductive to do such a thing this early? Although we are powerful, there are only five of us. And you've seen how dangerous the warp is."
Bann nodded at the fair point that Rucule made, yet he remained with a toothy grin as he responded "That's why we need to start preparing the first batch of our descendants. They would be the ones who will defend the planet alongside each one of us. If help is needed we can always communicate with our scouters and we'll be there in a while."
Bann wanted one thing foremost, and that was to make them Saiyans enough in small numbers to at least hold back the various forces that inhabited this galaxy. While they slowly grow their numbers.
Staying on one planet in this universe was a bad idea, as there were things that could easily wipe them out. Even with all their strength.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
And in this way, he could also diminish the possibility of unrest among them all for vying for others' belongings. With each holding a world of their own, their hands will be full and satisfied.
"But don't let's go ahead of our current circumstances. I need you two to come back here at least for a couple of hours to train for the warp, then you can do what you want in those capitals. Their defences would be in your charge alongside the supervision of the Imperial Guard." Bann stated with a serious look.
Aprit who seemed ready to leave the place asked "Is that all you wanted?" Only to receive the narrowing eyes of Bann as he admonished him "Hold your rains off, we need to go up to train with that guy. I'll be calling the other two."
Cleaning off the dust from his armour, he disappeared from the place while he called the other two Saiyans inside. Leaving Rucule eyeing Cielo with a raised brow as he asked "Hey you, so you'll be staying here with us?"
Cielo nodded her head with graciousness as she held back the scowl on her face as she eyed the Xenos "Indeed, I have reached an agreement with Lord Bann to remain at his side."
"Lord Bann?" Aprit said in amusement
Meanwhile, Rucule looked surprised and couldn't help but ask with intrigue "And why would that be? You're going to be his concubine or something?" Sensing her ki, Rucule thought she would make a fine mother of mighty kids.
Holding back some... xenophobic remarks, Cielo tried to sound gentle the most she could "That's none of your business, s-....xenos." Yet she failed miserably as Rucule glared at her with a pissed look.
Silence permeated the area until Bann appeared back with the two Saiyan females. With Ramela who was unable to look at Aprit and stayed away from him.
The kid seemed oblivious to it though.
"You know the drill, we'll be back ASAP." Said Bann to Cielo as they soon took off.
After giving the instructions to Aprit to hold his breath, they entered the space station. While the ex-slaves still looked bad, the atmosphere in the place didn't seem oppressive or grim. As smiles could be seen on some fellas.
Yet they all looked at the figure of Bann with respect, fear and reverence as he made his way through the corridors. Everyone knowing the identity of the individual who killed the planetary governor and his forces. Alongside the ships Navy Officers.
As Bann walked into the Royal Chamber, he was welcomed with the sight of Inquisitor Gannicus who was held into the walls with ki chains. And standing in front of him Augusta was with another woman who also was hooded and holding a staff.
As they turned to look at them, Augusta and the woman looked terrified as If they got caught.
Yet Bann had none of it as he spoke loudly as he stared at the hooded individual with a suspicious look"Go fetch that old man, we're here to train."
She quickly scurried away as she did as he ordered while Bann eyed Augusta with a raised brow "Who is her? This is the second time that I've seen her at your side."
As Augusta tried to form a credible alibi, the other Saiyans made their way to find a seat on the couch while others picked something to eat from the tables.
"She's our Astropath, I have already sent a message to our Enclave. Soon they would send another fleet to cease your heresy and purge that planet you have doomed." It was Gannicus who spoke and revealed the woman's identity.
Making Bann nod his head in appreciation for the man's cooperation. "That would be indeed burdensome." He pointed out while he cursed in his mind for his lack of action before.
Eyeing Augusta with a plain look he whispered to her as he passed by "You'll be punished later on." Making the woman shiver at his words while she gulped down in acceptance. Bann on the other hand went to sit on the couch beside Ramela.
Aprit who was munching down a piece of meat, crouched in front of the Inquisitor as he asked with an intriguing look on his face "Who's this fella? His armour looks fine."
Gannicus eyed the Xenos with a wary look, feeling the same pressuring feeling exuded from the seeming kid, as the others. 'I just hope the Deathwatch is called too, or else I fear we would only waste resources against these vermin.' Gannicus couldn't help but gulp down his salivae while thinking to himself.
Just one of them was necessary to make an entire regiment look like nothing. And his whole cadre was reduced to bystanders who couldn't do anything to protect him.
"A big shot that can summon important people into this fray. He is worth more alive than death for our cause." Answered Bann while letting out a sigh.
"And why is that?" Aprit didn't seem happy with the response and inquired about it further.
Letting out a yawn, Bann explained "Instead of training we'll have to spend days or even weeks to secure that this planet isn't blown up by his lackeys, and even if we manage to destroy them, there's still more of them yet to come once we kill him. So it would be pointless to do such a thing and instead, we'll use him as a bargaining chip."
Aprit seemed contented with the answer as he walked around the room while eyeing everything with curiosity as this was his first time in the place.
That was until a few minutes later the navigator made his way inside alongside the Astropath. The old man looked rather angry at being called, yet he remained silent while he stood in front of the Saiyans.
Seeing his devious figure, Bann let out a grin while saying with a joyful tone "How'dya old man! We're here again to train again!"
The man's eyes were heavy and weary as he looked at the group in front of him. He seemed to be lost in thought, his mind preoccupied with something else entirely. Despite the group's friendly attitude towards him, he did not respond in kind. Instead, he simply nodded in acknowledgement, his face devoid of any emotion or expression. It was clear that he was not in the mood for idle chit-chat or small talk, and that his mind was elsewhere.
Seeing him not responding Bann asked while scratching his head "Oh I forgot to ask your name old man, how do I call you?"
His question picked the intrigue of Augusta too, as she was also ignorant of the man's name.
The oak voice of the man slowly opened as he simply answered "You can call me Darth Bane."
Bann looked flabbergasted at the navigator, unable to process the name he sprouted. He was called like a Sith Lord from Star Wars after all.
Shaking his head sideways, he motioned to his companions as he ordered Bane to train them all like he did yesterday. Much to the chagrin of the man.
Thus, the entire of the royal chamber was thrown into the illusions and psychic abilities of the navigator while the group withstood not only the horrors from the warp but also its chaotic nature.
And although they were somewhat prepared, it was still a tough time for the five Saiyans who had to let out their ki to overcome the pressure and erosion that the warp produced.
It wouldn't be until one hour later that Darth Bane wasn't able to resist any longer and called the training of, his mind numb as the constant usage of his abilities drained his body while taking a toll on his mind after hearing the whispers from the daemons.
Yet it was on time as the space station was thrown into chaos as the blare of alarms rang throughout the corridors, while the escort ships were preparing to detach themselves. Dozens upon dozens of freed slaves moved alarmed through the station while carrying ammunition and other necessities.
The sensors had seemed to pick up the signal of a Xenos ship entering the system. Making Bann and the rest look up at the hologram of the system map with alarm and intrigue.
It seemed that fate knocked on their doors
