Introducing! The Sons of Harmony (Post-Escape From the Federation, Pre- Pre-Legacy Era)

"Heh. The X are nowhere on my person. Only my monster, child." Espera tells her telepathically (just because he saw that it makes her shudder, and he's a dick) "No, milady Talon, no it is not. I am Emperor Espera Nota because I rule over an empire of planets. Though, while I prefer the term emperor, they have a habit of calling me God." he responds to Talon verbally as he continues his "creeper assault" on Aquila by sending more and more information telepathically, either until he notices her no longer reacting, or has finished explaining what his Monster is. At one point in the incredibly quick conversation, he grabs the canister still under his left arm and flashes it to Aquila, presenting her with the appearance of his Monster, as well as showing her the source of the incredibly mutated X-like bio-energy signature was coming from.

Cyrille shrugged when Espera explained it. "Sure, why not," she said. She'd heard of this person, but never really encountered them. "Anyway, I got a crazy leader dude to capture," she said. Her bounty contract said he was worth a huge amount of money alive.

Aquila shudders more as she tries to shake away the chills running down her spine. She is relieved when Espera finishes.

"Glatdon Prohibits the use of Monsters, Bounty Collecting, Being Creeped and WASTING MY TIME LOUNGING AROUND!!..." Jacko says over loud speakers, as if he was at an amusement park. He clears his throat then continues "Sorry For the Inconvenience, please, Kill All monsters, Forget about all bounties, Desensitize your self to all things creepy AND GET A MOVE ON! I'M BORED IN HERE!...Thank you"

"Well now I just want to lounge around making monsters and small talk through telepathy. While remotely collecting bounties using some drones perhaps? I could wait here for a few hours doing stuff like that. Or hell, maybe a few weeks, just kill or corrupt anything that comes my way, sure I could get behind that." Espera says telepathically to Aquila and out loud to Talon. "What do you two think? Up for a little lounging around?"

Cyrille shrugged. "As long as it ends with bringing that guy in to the Federation and me getting paid, I'm fine either way," she said. She was pretty patient in general.

Aquila shook the chills away and she cried out against the plan to sit around "No! They are doing bad stuff in there and we need to stop it immediately! They could be harming innocent life in there as we speak!"


"Lord" Someone tells Jacko, "They are just standing around"

"I know!" Jacko yells "Is that Ice Missile still laying around?"

"The Freeze Burn missile Lord?"

"Yeah that one, Launch it at them."

"But Sir, that missile will freeze the entire courtyard then burn it down and cover it in phazon"

"So. We stole that missile, OH I dont remember it was so long ago. Let's just get rid of it."

"Right outside our base though? While we shouldn't be affected it would have the potential to hurt any Genetic Experiments going through the area."

"SERVANTS!" Jacko Screams "This man has inperfections! Take care of it! And someone fire that Frozen Fire, or what ever it's called Missile at the courtyard!"

"No Lord! I'm sorry!" The man begs on his knees before getting dragged to the torture rooms. Some Servants then launched the Missile.

"They launched a missile at us." Espera says, looking up at the strange looking missile flying towards them. His tentacles then lash out, grab the missile, and redirect it as he says "Insufficient postage, return to sender!""Along with this little present." He releases a bit of Ragnarok from the container it was kept in (continuing to store the rest for later), and commands it to go up his tentacles quickly and hitch a ride on the missile, in only a few seconds, the strange missile is given a Ragnarok payload and modifier (through Ing possession). "Well, that was fun. I kind of interested in seeing what else they'll throw out here if we just stand around, but the kid seems rather obsessed with just getting in, getting done, and getting out. No sense of adventure, this one."

"Hopefully he's intact enough to send back after that, or I could just record the missile hitting him and it'd be good enough," Cyrille said with a shrug. "Prefer him alive, though." She had a decent track record of taking people in alive that she didn't want to mess up, though underlings and soldiers were fair game for killing.

"Are they going to be alright!?" Aquila says concerned about anyone innocent who maybe where the missile was just flung.

"Lord...They smacked the Missile Back at us! What do we do!" Someone Panicks.

Jacko jumps up excited "I LOVE TENNIS! Fling it back at them!" Jacko ran over to the control panel and carefully used a ship with a magnet to turn the missile around, doing his best to keep it from losing speed while turning, as if he was playing an arcade game. "This is so much Fun!!!"

As Espera sees the missile get flung back, the image of a giant deadly game of tennis between him and whatever jackass is leading these nutjobs pops into his mind unbidden, causing him to put his head down, right hand covering his mouth as he goes "PFFT!" Uncontrolledly, barely stifling a laugh as one of his tentacles shoots out and smacks the missile along the length and sends it flying back again.

Cyrille blinks a bit and just sorta sits back, watching the game of rocket tennis with a shrug. She's prepared to move if the missile becomes a threat to her, but otherwise she's fine where she is.

Jacko sees the missile commingled back and turns it back to them, laughing as he does.

"How many Missiles do they have!?" Aquila says, not quite catching what is going on.

"One, we're playing giant deadly badminton with it." Espera responds telepathically, just loving her reaction whenever he talks into her mind. He then bats the missile back again with his tentacles, continuing the streak.

(It's your post Pinkest)

Cyrille shrugged, just continuing to sit back and watch them smack a missile back and forth. "So how are we splitting this? I don't mind doing so as long as we get the huge pay from taking him in alive," she said.

"Is there a way we can blow this up in the Air over them?" Jacko says getting impatient as he flings the Missile Back

"I don't think so lord." Somebody replies.

"Ragnarok, when you get over the compound again, activate the detonation trigger manually." Espera orders telepathically when the missile gets back into batting range. He then swats it back again, sending it careening through the air towards the compound once more. Once it is within maximum destruction range, while being out of return range, Ragnarok fudges the internal functions of the missile and causes it to detonate without impacting, right overhead.

Cyrille watches the missile detonate, adjusting her sunglasses a bit before slowly pulling her stun baton out, the beating side telescoping out. "Hopefully they're still alive in there," she said, some electricity crackling through the baton.

(Now it's your post Trees)

"What the hell happened to my missile!" Jacko screams as he kicks and flails his arms around while sitting in his chair

"Lord they managed to blow it up above us." Someone informs him

"BLEW IT UP!?"

"Yes, though it seems not much debris is left. Only some Ice Shards and a few small balls of Phazon. The rest of the Missile vaporized itself in the air due to improper denomination."

"I don't care about that! I want to blow them up!" Jacko kicks at the person informing him after standing up.

"Lord, The heat wave also damaged some electronics" The person continues as they step back in fear

"SO!? FIX IT!! GET ME ANOTHER MISSILE OR SOMETHING!" Jacko shouts



Aquila see the blast in the distance "What is that!" She shouts before turning to look at Espera.

"Ragnarok detonated the missile prematurely so as to prevent them knocking it back again. Point: Espera." Espera says, watching tiny globules of Ragnarok rain down upon the compound. "Oh, that is going to be fun to watch. I can't wait to see them getting corrupted and eating each other alive. Come on kids, let's get moving. You want a bounty, you...I can only guess you want them stopped or something, and they're a huge eyesore to me, so let's crush this little uprising of mutationers, shall we?" he continues, looking to each of the others in turn, then turning and walking into the compound.

Cyrille nodded before getting ready to go with them, twirling her stun baton a bit with electricity still going through it. She was ready to beat the shit out of some bad guys.

"I do want to stop them, and I don't want any innocent creatures hurt in the process" Aquila says as Espera and Talon start to head towards the compound "Hey! Wait up!" She shouts as she starts running to catch up.

"Sir, The new test results are in" A person tells Jacko.

"Oooo... Tell me! Tell Me!" Jacko says, about as excited as a little kid being promised Candy.

(Dude, don't leave me hanging, finish the thought! I NEED to know what the results are!)
