"Holy Sh*t! You actually survived?"
Lucky nodded her head in a smug manner.
Listening to Lucky's story, Legolas felt a whole other level of injustice at fate. 'The heck! I'm supposed to be the reincarnator here, why does it seem that my pet has even more plot armor than I do?'
'While I had to fight my way, killing and taming tons of demons from the underworld, she was chilling in her master's palace all along'.
'Damn! And not just chilling, her power also freaking grew!'
As he looked at Lucky, his face went red in envy. 'I want this luck!'
'Damn, she didn't suffer at all, I have to make her suffer a bit'. His devious mind started thinking up conspiracies. 'Should I pinch her cheeks?'
"Umm…, why is your face like that? Are you ok?" A voice interrupted Legolas the next moment as he looked up only to see a familiar face.
Legolas stood up. "Uhh? Me? Is something wrong with my face?" He touched his face as if searching for what was wrong with it.
Champion Onana chuckled. "Forget about that, anyways, I have something to tell you".
"Let's talk".
Looking at the face of this Nak Champion, Legolas knew that it was serious.
He turned to look at his beasts. "Ok guys, let's catch up later".
-----
You have activated active ability: Beast Plane Summoning
----
Without hesitation, Akela went to the beast plane.
Unlike before when he just contracted the Wolf, Akela was now an Emperor, he had a whole horde of wolves that he was looking after.
Not just a horde though, unlike his master who was still a miserable single, Akela already had a family of his own after snagging up Nymeria long ago.
Warp Prime also left to the beast plane as he was in the process of emulating the others to start his own army of beasts.
The others were no different. Bran tore a portal and left to the Void Dimension; he had his army of Void Beasts to also look after.
As for Predator, he teleported to the Nightmare Beast Island. He may currently have only 3 subordinates, but they were all powerful and last Legolas heard, Predator was entertaining thoughts of mating.
Afterall, the Nightmare Beast bloodline had to replicate.
It was rational but Legolas still felt, uhh… peeved.
All the others left except Lucky. From her body language, this Fox definitely had no intentions to leave so Champion Onana allowed it.
Champion Onana went straight to the point as he led a walk around the massive garden. "So, what are your plans?"
Legolas looked at Onana, he chuckled. "I thought you said you had something to tell me, not question me".
"…"
Seeing the look on the Nak Champion's face, he coughed. "What plans?"
"On leaving Planet Darvis".
Legolas paused for a few seconds to think. "It has been on my mind since the victory. I've not yet hatched any plan; I think before making any decision I need to consult with you, it depends on you".
Legolas looked at him. "You're the one with the means of getting us out of the Roronoa Star System, I can't".
Champion Onana nodded. "That's why I came to meet you, I want to hear your opinion first, I intend to contact my master today".
"Only an ultra-range teleportation portal can enable travel across Star Systems, it's how we were able to arrive here for our plans".
"My master can deploy one to enable us go back to Nak Space but…" Champion Onana paused. "Before leaving, there's something else that I want done, the thing that brought the Bug disaster".
He looked back at Legolas. "Planet Titania".
Instantly after hearing that term, Legolas' brain whirred as a lot of things went on in his mind. 'Yes! I almost forgot, there's that too'.
He returned Onana's gaze. "What is your decision?"
"General Aztog died during the Cataclysm, I am now the highest-ranking soldier of the Nak Navy deployed here both in status and in military rank".
"I don't intend to give Planet Titania over to the Nak Navy".
"They demanded for Planet Darvis and its resources, mostly Arcanite metal, I already completed my mission, I will give them that".
"I believe with you; we can go there to properly negotiate and hatch out a plan that will benefit both sides".
"As for Planet Titania, I discovered it, I won't relinquish claim over it but…" His eyes focused on Legolas. "I won't claim full ownership of it either".
He chuckled. "Without you, against the Bug, I am a dead man".
"I will take 50% ownership while you take 50%".
Legolas raised his eyebrows. "What of Planet Darvis?"
"In my opinion, you won the war, not the Planet, their contribution is negligible. Of course, if you are generous, you can share your part with them".
"…" Legolas was silent for seconds as he stared back at Champion Onana.
The atmosphere became oppressive for a few seconds as even Lucky almost started squeaking in an uneasy manner, this was when Legolas finally smiled.
"Your tone is harsh but fair enough".
"Is that a deal?"
"Yeah". Legolas nodded with a smile. "Tell me when you're ready to go".
"Good, I will go report to my master now".
"Wait, one more thing". Legolas looked at him. "When you speak to your master, tell him that he should activate the ultra-range portal after like a month from now, I have other business to attend to".
Champion Onana squinted his eyes. "Which other business?"
"Planet Austere".
…
Inside a cabin in the Golden Cicada…
Bzzz!
A virtual projection appeared in the air as a familiar face showed.
"Master". Champion Onana bowed respectfully as soon as the face showed.
For a few seconds, the middle-aged man silently looked at him.
Despite his deceiving looks, Champion Onana knew that his master was already over 8 centuries old as he kept his head down in respect.
"You didn't die…" He finally spoke.
"…" Champion Onana's mouth twitched.
"And somehow, you actually came out of that ordeal stronger than before, impressive, you did well".
"Thank you master". Champion Onana finally raised his head. "There were unexpected complications which increased the projected casualties, but, despite all of it, the mission is now completed".
Admiral Zhao looked at his student with a smile on his face. "After using my token 4 times, tell me, how did you do it?" He leaned over curiously.
"…" Champion Onana froze. "How did you know?"
"I give tokens to very few people in the universe, and due to how few of them I give out, I have full comprehension over their activities".
"Despite giving you only 2, I felt you use them 3 times, how? And from what I'm seeing, you still have one with you".
Champion Onana looked down, then he took a deep breath. "I still don't know what exactly happened yet, I suspect it's Legolas but I've not asked him".
"After winning the war, on checking my life wrist-pad, I was surprised to see it recorded that I died during the war".
"The wrist-pad is still glitching since it can't explain why I'm still alive".
"I don't know what happened".
Admiral Zhao's eyes narrowed as he looked at the wrist-pad. 'Is it a Reality-altering ability? No, there's nothing a Super with such powers will be doing here'.
'Even if he is, there's nothing valuable here that he can be after'.
'So, is it time travel?'
"Do you think it's time travel?" He asked his student.
Onana paused to think. "That's also the most probable reason that I also arrived at, I just don't understand how it happened".
The Admiral smiled. "The more I know about this new friend of yours, the more fascinating he seems to me, I'd like to meet him one day".
"Will he be coming?"
"Yes, Master".
"Good". He nodded. "Indicate when you're ready and the portal will be opened, I already gave the orders for the materials required to be gathered".
Admiral Zhao finally got prepared to cut off the connection.
Just before he could though, Onana interrupted. "Wait…, there's something else". He looked at his master. "I discovered a Metal Pla…"
"It's yours". Admiral Zhao smiled at him.
"They knew of your predicament but refused to send reinforcements, what matters is that you fulfilled your mission, there's no need to do more".
"Take that as the reward for going the extra mile".
Champion Onana smiled. "Thanks".
Admiral Zhao looked at him. "I still believe in your potential, shock me".
