DB FE: Odessen

[Vegetto]

Welcome to Odessen!

A remote world located along the outer rim of Universe 7, this luscious forest world is home to the multiverse's most wanted criminals: the Outlanders. This shadowy organization is very selective in is recruiting, so only the most well versed individuals in the multiverse can discover this fortress. A powerful energy shield protects proper sensing from those capable of feeling energy signatures from across the universe.

Any and all are welcome in the fight against the Eternal Empire.

======================​

Rules:

1) No extensive combat. The world is protected from strong energy signatures from being sensed, but is not perfect. Sparring is allowed, but no extreme shows of force are allowed.
2) This is more of a leisure zone for the Fallen Empire storyline and beyond. Side plots are allowed, but any extensive stories taking place outside of the planet must be its own thread. Only planetary business here: you may do small snippets from outside worlds, however.
3) No spam posting. You are allowed only one post to respond to another, meaning your total count per player must stay at 2. Simply put, you are allowed one initial post, then one response post to another player. After you've used both, you must wait until another player posts before you are allowed to post again. However, each time I post, everyone's count resets.
4) Any and all new characters must be approved by me. This is a mostly open thread and extensive character building is not necessary. However, in order to make sure plot isn't broken on small details, I'll have to check any new characters through PMs or in the registration thread for Fallen Empire. Which can be found here.

========================​

The lone shuttle ship carrying the main cast slowly descended down within the open space of the hanger. Squads of soldiers scrambled forward and formed ranks of straight, poised lines of troops all dressed in gear from the Empire and Republic alike. With each section comprised of around 20 soldiers each, the lines of clumped soldiers stretched as far as the end of the hanger room. Three men strode down the center of the filed soldiers, holding familiar faces in the form of a Namekian clad in a heavy, large shoulder headress with a white cape flowing behind him. The human male in front of him walked forward in his boots and red leather coat, the spikes of his hair in the form of a small mohawk and three metal disks on the right side of his forehead. He raised an eyebrow, glancing over his shoulder towards the Namekian.

"Piccolo, what's the ETA on those readouts?"

Piccolo held a small, intense glare, his arms at his side while he walked next to him. His face had aged a small bit, but he looked mostly the same as he spoke.

"The team is overlooking them now, it'll keep them busy while we greet the new commanders."

The other man, a triclops, frowned a bit as he spoke up next. His age showed clearly in his creases, yet his physical physique was still in top form.

"The outside perimeter has just been secured, by the way. Perhaps we'll have to let Koth and Junior know next time to wait a little while before they bolt to the unfinished headquarters."

Piccolo nodded at Tien, his eyes turning back down on Theron Shan.

"Indeed, it's important to make a good impression."

Theron sighed, nearly rolling his eyes.

"Great, back on the haircut. You're never gonna let this go, are you?"

Piccolo nodded.

"It looks ridiculous."

Theron only grunted in reply, coming to a halt with Piccolo and Tien once they arrived at the ramp leading up into the shuttle. Leading the entire group out, Gogeta Jr. and Koth both stepped onto the hangar floor first. Koth grinned, reaching out and patting Theron on the right shoulder.

"Theron! See, what'd I tell ya? The mission went smooth as ever."

Theron stared back with a deadpan expression.

"Yeah? Usually getting stuck out in the middle of nowhere space for an entire week isn't "smooth" for a rescue op."

Koth scoffed, swatting the air in dismissal of the skepticism.

"Oh c'mon, we got the Outlanders and everyone's still alive. Besides, it gave you some extra time to get the base in order."

Theron sighed, glancing over to the group of gathered individuals while Vegetto crossed his arms, looking on.

"Welcome, Outlanders...to Odessen. Home to the last resistance left against Arcann's temper tantrum of a empire."

Brachi and Xenest both looked around, remaining silent, but acknowledging the place itself.

 

[Grey Star]

Solaris disembarked the shuttle, his walking punctuated by the sound of metal and crystal hitting the floor with every step. Solarian armor was not known for being quiet. He was dressed in his full armor, sans helmet. That was currently attached to the belt around his waist. As he walked down the ramp, he looked through the lines of soldiers the glowing veins of a Solarian and the striking eyes of a Saiyan. He was looking at a sight rather familiar, one he knew deeply in his mind. Stepping forward from the ship, off the ramp, and onto the hangar floor, he looked out towards the rest of the planet.

"This, this is promising." He stated in response to the greeting from Theron, vision settling for a few moments before changing subjects. He began to speak in a chilled voice, analyzing what was in front of him. "Soldiers, burned and willing to fight the Eternal Empire. A world, hidden from the glorious capital of galactic civilization that houses the organization willing to fight. An open, green, back water space covering the surface. This is very promising. I've burnt many worlds like this in conquest, the last bastion of resistance." The grey eyes of the hybrid looked over to Theron, wearing a somber expression.

"It is worlds like these that posed the greatest threat to established tyrannies that I was slaved to. I am a sword, and I will be a weapon for your resistance against Arcann. Use me as you see fit."

Jaz hopped off the ship and onto the ground. It was the first time in a while she felt like she was back home on Earth with the landscape around them. Jaz was used to living near nature, so she was no doubt excited to train with Junior. The crisp air around her, as well as the trees nearby, brought back memories. The entire experience was a little foreign to her, especially since she was trapped for 25 years. Her green eyes scanned all she could, glittering in awe at both the vast landscape and hanger before them. Jaz walked ahead, ignoring all voices as she tried her best to take in all she could. 

"Wooooowie~!" She said childishly. "This place is soooooo cool! I thought places like these existed only in the movies b-but it's actually real! This is Odessan?!"

She immediately turned to Junior.

"Hey Junior, have you been here before?! This is like... a super secret base! Except it's not in a cave or behind a waterfall! It's the whole planet! There's so much stuff I wanna do! So much stuff I can explore! I can learn so much! This is awesome! You gotta introduce me to your friends!"

Kire jumped from the ship to the hangar floor, hands in his pockets. He wasn't as open as Jaz, in fact, he seemed more held back, almost nervous. Despite being a jerk, he apparently had a hard time fitting in or getting comfortable around new people and areas. He remained quiet, watching his daughter prance and frolic within the hangar, the sight of it forced a small smile on his face. 

She's such a kid, pure and innocent, just like Evelyn... If only she were here to see how much you've grown, Jaz. She would've been so proud of you. Kire stared intently at his daughter. I'm just happy you found people you can call family... 

Kire shook his head, clearing his troubled mind. He spoke out just enough for the group to hear him.

"Well, guess we finally arrived, eh? Seems like a safe haven from Arcann and Vaylin. Wonder how they managed to stay hidden for so long?"

 

[LoopyPanda]

Mioi peered out of the ship apprehensively. She wasn't used to the new set of surroundings, so her excitement was at a minimum. "What a curious biome we've landed in..." she scanned the surroundings before cocking her head to the side.

"Is that Theron?... what is that horrid thing sitting atop his head?! He looks bad. Sad," she remarked.

 

[Raditz]

On the other side of the planet a space pod crashed landed into the middle of one the dense forests. The emergency signal from the pod was going haywire until the noise finally stopped. The door from the pod opened and from the smoke appeared a saiyan wearing a tattered and distressed uniform worn by the Frieza Force.

"You have got to be kidding me." Raditz said as he emerged from the pod. "Out of all the times to malfunction it has to be this time."

The saiyan looked around the area with narrowed eyes. 

"Wherever I am it must be uninhabited. I can't seem to sense anyone's energy."

Raditz floated up in the air and looked across the horizon.

"This place looks like earth. Don't tell me the earthlings went extinct while I was gone." he grit teeth and started to fly in hopes of finding others.

On another side a ray of light appeared from the sky. From the light emerged three beings. One of them being a tall grey wolf-like person wearing Egyptian style clothing. The other two looked around the area.

"Pardon me, Cukatail-sama but where is that you have taken us?"

The tall angel looked over at Ale and gave him a soft smile.

"This is Odessen, a planet made of up of mostly forest that is near the edge of Universe 7."

The short fish-like humanoid, Arak, continued examining the area.

"It's quite a beautiful planet." the destroyer god commented. "Very green and full of vegetation."

"That would be attributed to the lack of beings inhabiting the planet." Cukatail mused. 

Ale was stunned by the land and its beauty but also seemed to have a look of confusion.

"It's quite the spectacle but I am a little confused. Shouldn't we be examining worlds with life forms?" Ale asked.

"Your job as Hakaishin is to observe worlds and bring balance by picking out the ones that need to be eliminated." Arak answered. "That includes worlds where there is no sentient life."

"But in that case, Lord Arak, shouldn't we destroy the planets with no life seeing as there's no potential for growth?" Ale asked.

"Nonsense, young one. Every world is capable of growth, with or without mortals. We simply have to expand the potential of these worlds and cause minimal destruction as possible." Arak said with a reassuring smile. 

"Although that philosophy holds true in Universe 5, the same cannot be said for this universe." Cukatail added. "Every universe's Hakaishin works differently and they see about the destruction of worlds on their terms."

Cukatail held up his staff and light started surrounding the three again. 

"Now let's go toward what Arak and I wanted to show you. This will be a very important lesson for you."

"Yes, Cukatail-sama." Ale bowed.

The three then started to float in the air and started to head towards a place of interest.

 

[Vegetto]

Vegetto Jr. followed after Jaz into the hanger, glancing around with a small smile.

"Yeah...I've been out here a couple of times before. Looks like the project was finally completed though: it was mostly trees last time I was here."

He stopped at Jaz's request to be introduced, but turned his eyes at the sound of Theron's voice resuming. Theron perked his eyebrow, looking back at Solaris with a somewhat perturbed expression.

"Right...I'm sure you'll be a great help. But let's just...tone it down a bit with the intensity there, alright Sinatra?"

He then paused at Mioi's comment, his eyebrows flattening out into a dejected, annoyed glare back at the cyclops as Piccolo and Tien both stifled a small, single grunt. Both held stern, but amused expressions as they stared back at Theron, who cleared his throat audibly.

"Anyway...if we can table this small roast session for later...there's a bit of official business we need to go over. Starting first with the most important one."

Theron coughed lightly into his hand, the soldiers all straightening out and saluting the group of Outlanders all gathered together.

"This is your new alliance. From now on, all of our forces are at your disposal, Commanders."

 

[~ Z ~]

"Commanders?" Kire quirked a brow. "Huh, that takes me back a couple years... Heh, I think it'll be nice to be called that again. I guess I should start by making a lab here as well. So many options, so little time~."

"I get to be a commander?!" Jaz gasped. "No way! Too cool! Junior, I'm a commander now, so you gotta do what I say! ( :maybe: ) Okay, my first order as a commander is that you teach me how to fly and shoot fireballs! I also want a super secret spot outside the hangar, like a tree house! Oh! I also want--"

Kire yanked at Jaz's ear, slightly annoyed at her outrageous outbursts. 

"You play too much sometimes..." Kire mumbled. "Besides, Junior ain't a slave, at least not anymore, technically, so why don't you two just stick to sparrin' and trainin', yeah?"

"Aww, but dad! I got a ton of more ideas!"

"Yeah, well, they ain't good from the sound of it. Why don't you get pointers from Junior? He's got some experience with this stuff, so you might learn a thing from him. Why don't you ask him what kept him motivated all these years?" He released Jaz's ear and smiled at her. "Just don't be reckless and play nice with Junior. No staying out past dark, no leaving the planet, and absolutely no fightin' strangers." Kire's eyes glared at Junior. "I want her back by sundown, any later and I'll kill you."

Jaz puffed her cheeks in a pout but decided to listen to her father's words. She went over to Junior's side and crossed her arms. When her father turned away, she tip-toed closer to Junior and whispered to him.

"He never said we couldn't leave after sundown, tho'... We should explore this place when we're done trainin'!"

Kire cracked his knuckles and began to think about his upcoming plan.

Well, these folk got some nifty resources that I can probably use. Maybe I can find parts for buildin' a body for Helga...

"I guess the Alliance will begin to pick out the good commanders from the great ones," Kire smirked before strolling around the hangar, examining every inch he could see. "I can name a few who aren't cut out to be a commander, primarily those who use their fists to solve their problem. You don't send a brainless brute to fight an army, after all."

 

[Grey Star]

Solaris's somber expression changed to one of confusion.

Who the heck is Sinatra?

That confusion quickly changed to one of shock. Solaris looked around for a moment, seeing the soldiers saluting and the fact that Vegetto was still present. He thought it over for a moment before responding.

"I'll fight for this Alliance, with both my body and my mind." He stated in confidence, but in a low volume. Trying to be less like this Sinatra fellow, eh?

I wish Jack had taught me Solarian command, Atama got that training and so did his kid, why couldn't I? I wonder if Saiyans even had a command structure for war.

Meanwhile, Kira stepped off the shuttle, right in time to be announced as a commander, and frowns at the irony, but says nothing. Seems she had redone her hair while on the shuttle and got some wrinkles out of her clothes on the way down. She looked better for wear than the fight on Zakuul.

 

[Raditz]

Raditz continued to fly through the air in hopes of spotting inhabitants or sense any energies.

"I hope to god the living things here aren't burrowed underground or something." Raditz narrowed his eyes. "It's time like these where I miss being a conqueror. I'd have this place turned into an intergalactic rest stop and there'd be a Space Castle. Some sliders sound good right about now."

The ray of light struck down on the open side of the hangar. As the light the dissipated the three individuals emerged.

"That energy jamming trick was a bit tricky to navigate through but seems like we were able to find the location." Cukatail smiled.

"Thank you, Cukatail." Arak said as he scanned the area. The destroyer god turned towards the large group of people.

"Greetings from Universe 5!" Arak bowed followed by Ale and Cukatail. "I am Arak, the hakaishin of our universe. This is my attendant Cukatail."

"The pleasure is all mine." Cukatail said.

"And this large young fellow is our universe's next hakaishin." Arak looked up at the young destroyer. "Ale."

"It's an honor." Ale smiled keeping his hands behind back.

"My apologies for us trespassing on your secret facility but there are matters we were hoping to discuss. Normally we don't enjoy meddling with problems among other universes but we do have our concerns. Is there a leader or council that we may speak to?" Arak said.
