*Cosmos gets the ship’s attention with his aura* Cosmos:”HEY PUNKS YOU WANT ME YOU’VE GOT ME”

Sure enough, the Dendroba battleship turned all its armament against Cosmos.

Salamander Captain: "Let's see you survive the Gravedigger Cannon, you overgrown skink! There won't even be atoms left!"

The ship fired the Gravedigger Cannon. Right before it reached Cosmos, it scattered into 100 explosives around him, Hellzone Grenade-style.

Cosmos:”MEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAA MEEEEEEEEEEEEE—“

*Cosmos gathered his energy into his hands*

Cosmos:”Let’s see you handle a Kamemeha”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”MEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAA MEEEEEEEEEEEEE—“

*Cosmos gathered his energy into his hands*

Right before his charge could finish, the Gravedigger munitions all converged on Cosmos and exploded. Once again, Hellzone Grenade-style.

So what was Cosmos' plan to handle the power of a Gravedigger Cannon? Energy redirection? A teleport, as has happened at least once with the very beam attack he was charging? Or did he just plan on tanking the whole thing?

*His Body absorbed it and was channeled directly into the Kamehameha* Cosmos:”HAAAAAAAAAA” *He fires the Kamehameha*

Being a huge battleship, the attacker didn't exactly have the mobility to dodge a giant beam blast.

There was no explosion from the ship. Anyone familiar with the attack's history would know why - it tended to vaporize its targets if it way overpowered them.

For all its strength, the Dendroba Empire battleship was still a mortal-designed ship, only limited to one reality's worth of materials. Its hull simply lacked the composition necessary to dissipate gigatons of plasma, let alone counteract reality dragon chakras.

There was simply nothing left of the ship afterwards.



In the aftermath, Cosmos could see another ship if he looked around. A small scout ship, several holes in it consistent with heavy laser fire, emitting something like smoke.

Cosmos:”Hm that’s what I thought”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”Hm that’s what I thought”

Nebouxii Hailing Frequency: "Is the ship gone? Look, looks like we're out of danger, but their blasts shredded our engine and wrecked life support. We barely had enough metal to weld important parts of the ship shut, and we're both stuck here and running out of air fast..."

Cosmos:”Ok well I’m sure I can arrange something”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”Ok well I’m sure I can arrange something”

"Wow, I see the scout ship. Jackson and Saxon once told me they stuffed a ship like that in a cargo bay to sell it for scrap."

"What do you think, Cosmos? Do you think that thing could fit in the cargo bay on this vessel?"

Cosmos:”I think so”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”I think so”

"Tyrim, initiate reclamation cycle."

"Uhhh...."

"Ship specifications indicate that the cargo teleporter can safely teleport mortals. Just do it please."

"If you say so."

A light surrounded the wrecked scout ship. Cosmos could see it disappear from its spot out in space.

Inside the cargo bay, the wrecked ship appeared. There was a scream from inside.

*Cosmos came inside through the airlock*

Meanwhile, with the ship safe and the cargo bay pressurized, Firuthi set to opening up the new ship that had been teleported into cargo.

Inside, it turns out, were several four-armed ducks.

"You look like someone I met at a party once..."

Rukbatian Captain: "I was just teleported, buddy. You know what having your atoms disassembled and reassembled feels like?"

"I can DO it pretty much any time."

Rukbatian Captain: "Whatever. This is no time for jokes. I need to talk to your ship's captain about what I just saw."

"No dice. The ship's captain is a robot under my command, and besides, there's a far better target to talk to."

Rukbatian Captain: "The High Imperator?"

"He's on board, but I've got even better."

Rukbatian Captain: "....the Architects?"

"One of their longstanding friends actually. Cosmos, can you come here a minute?"

*Cosmos comes over* Cosmos:”What?”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

*Cosmos comes over* Cosmos:”What?”

"The captain of the ship we rescued wants to tell you something."

Rukbatian Captain: "So, uh.... thanks for bailing us out of a jam there."

The four-armed merganser shifted uneasily.

Rukbatian Captain: "We were scouting the stars looking for lost artifacts when we stumbled across a strange book. Something called the 'Liber Mutandis', an old ritual book. We took it and had to flee from an entity named Izrador... we thought we got out of trouble but then that Dendroba ship started chasing us! Are Izrador and the Dendrobians working together?"

Cosmos:”I doubt it though”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”Hm that sounds troubling”

Rukbatian Captain: "That's not all. When Izrador was chasing us, she was invoking the powers of several beings. Bokrug, Nyogtha, and Glaaki. She said they were 'bound' to her and under her power. Know anything about any of them?"

*Cosmos looks shocked* Cosmos:”My brothers” *He managed to keep his anger in check telling himself that he could take it out on the enemy*

"Hold on, did you say Bokrug, Nyogtha, and Glaaki?"

Rukbatian Captain: "That I did."

"I've had to lecture Glaaki on how to grant immortality to others. His previous methods.... resulted in very restricted immortals. He's restrained about it now, learned how to do it properly, and is actually quite knowledgeable and civil, but if he's bound under Izrador that means she'd be forcing him to make walking corpses."

"And the other two?"

"You'd have to ask Cooper about Bokrug and I think either Oriana or Fabiana knows more about Nyogtha."

*Cosmos yelled as if he was about to go Super sayian*

 

[Universe]

Cosmos:”Oh that is it”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

*Cosmos yelled as if he was about to go Super sayian*

Cosmos:”Oh that is it”

"Easy. What if all three of our biggest opponents appear at once?"

Firuthi thought for a second.

"I think you're best to take on Izrador, given how many beings she's bound over the eons.... Morgoth's mine for his direct interference with the kids.... Universe, if all three of our opponents arrived at once, you comfortable taking on your tormentor Hastur?"
