Kire said nothing as he was pushed and shoved into place. Whatever happened to him didn't seem to bug him too much. He stared intently at the others before giving the passing Arcann a nod and a smile. He glanced behind him to stare at Jaz who stuck her tongue out at Arcann when he pass by. 

"Jaz, behave yourself." Kire chuckled. "You shouldn't stick your tongue out at strangers."

"But daddy..." Jaz whined. 

"No more words, Jaz." 

Jaz pouted at her father but listened to him nonetheless. She didn't want to start problems, at least not right now. She stepped out of line, attempting to look for Mioi in the order they put them in.
 
Solaris looked at the now aware Kira, before switching his attention in front of him. The Solar Saiyan almost spoke before saying nothing.
 
Mioi couldn't do anything about being forcefully moved, besides casting a glare at the guard moving her. There wasn't a problem in remaining silent given she had no default lips. 

Her gaze met Jaz, and her bottom lid seemed to lift a bit. "I am fine. This is nothing after it all." She kept her receptive thought concentrated solely on Jaz to keep the headache from before from coming back. 

Though she wasn't happy about having been captured, and having to meet a captor be nonchalant about it certainly made her far from sociable. Does he want information from us? But what? Or is he planning to enslave us by force?
 
Arcann lazily rolled his visible eye at Oriko's question, his arms dropping down to his sides.

"If you consider being bound in energy draining cuffs and forcefully dragged about this ship as the 'VIP treatment', then I suppose we did it from the depths of our warm hearts."

His tone was sarcastic especially in the delivery of the last line, Vegetto's eyes narrowing slightly at the comment.

"Those beds were comfortable. Perhaps you should consider taking off these cuffs so I can give you a proper thank you."

Arcann let out a small chuckle, the sound of his breath bouncing off the metal mask covering his mask resonating in the room.

"You can give me one with the cuffs on, if you like. Don't be surprised if you end up like your friends on Earth, however."
 
Panich and Bage gave no struggle as they were pushed into the line. 
"You little brat..." A small scowl at Arcann was all Panich could manage with the growl.
Bage on the other hand seemed a little surprised at the appearance of their captor.
 
Brachi narrowed her eyes, remaining silent as she kept glaring at Arcann, as if knowing that appearances can be deceiving in the long run, and therefore chose to keep her mouth shut, although she thought back at her husband, her friends and her counterpart, hoping they were somehow able to escape. She felt for a split second as if her head gave a slight pang, as if getting a headache, but she ignored it for now.
 
"So, what's the big idea with the whole invade the galaxy thing huh? I may not be from around here, but everyone has a reason." Solaris asked.
 
Jaz smiled to Mioi and returned back to her father's side. She listened to Arcann and seemed to be friendly to him, despite his demeanor to the group. Unlike her usual attitude to people, which was spunky, she seemed to talk casually to the man who seemed close to her age, if not, a little younger.

"Hey, why are we here anyways?" Jaz said calmly. "How did we even get here? You're really young... you must be my age!"

"Jaz, please, no more." Kire said as he nudged his daughter closer to him. He glanced at Arcann with the same smile as before. "Forgive her, she's young."
 
So he was the one who killed Goku and Vegeta... 

Mioi narrowed her eye at Arcann in a glare.

"What is it you want from us?"
 
Arcann locked his one eye with Jaz's for a moment at her consistent slew of questions. His expression seemed to show very little interest mixed with arrogance before he turned his head toward Solaris, the amusment clear in his voice.

"We tested your people's strength."

Darth Marr spoke next, his tone dark.

"You seemed to have suffered for it."

Arcann let out a small chuckle.

"Not as much as your people did."

He turned on his heel, the two guards standing in a clean formation behind them. The prince glanced over his shoulder at Mioi's telepathic question, gesturing for them to follow.

"Don't worry, you'll know that in due time. Come along, we can talk more along the way."

The group slowly walked through an opening into a long, narrow hallway. Large glass windows from the sides and above the group showed the vast opening of space before them, the hallway leading up to a massive space station high in orbit of the planet. Along the sides, guardians in full golden armor stood at attention with ignited lightsaber staffs and shields at their arms. Arcann led the group walking forward, his tone still amused.

"We've spent the last few years recovering records from your Empire's computers. Fascinating readings, really."

He soon came to a halt in the middle of the hallway, stopping the group with him as he turned to face them.

"You Z-Fighters have quite the history on the universe. Whole civilizations bow before your might, and while some of you are not nearly as powerful as the leaders, you certainly have played parts in saving the universe from certain doom multiple times over. Impressive."
