Vor and Kara flew towards the Tollana capital Vorlan named after their god Vor himself. Celonia and Vorlan were seperated by a vast ocean. They flew close to the ocean at a moderate speed enjoying the feel and smell of the ocean and the wind blowing acrosstheir face.
Vor and Kara looked at eachother and smiled. They began to increase their speed and with a boom the water splitted as their speed made blades of wind that parted the water. Moving further they saw a group of dolphins swiming and jumping around in the Ocean. They passed by the beautiful creatures slowly so as not to harm them or disturb them.
"My emperor forgive me for asking. Isn't Tollana engineered artificially using a world engine." Kara asked curiously
"Yes." Vor asked
"Then where did all these creatures came from." Kara asked incredulously.
"After the creation of Tollana we had to populate it with trees and animals. We took most of the species from Sarita and Krypton. It was a difficult job." Vor said
"Sir, we are approaching the land." Kara said
"Kara, we will be blending in as one of them. So no more calling me Sir or Emperor. From now on call my name and change your clothes as well." Vor said
"Sir, won't they recognise your name and face." Kara asked
"Vor is a common name among Tollans as for my face..." he said as he touched the armband he wore on his wrist. Immediately a small chamber opened on the tactic belt he wore and a spec came out of it. He put the specs on his face and immediately his face transformed into that of someone else. "Casual mode" he said to the armband on his wrist and his suit also quickly changed and in its place he wore a black jeans, white V neck shirt, a black jacket and a pair of black shoes.
"So how do I look." Vor asked
"Absolutely stunning.. Oh! I mean perfect disguise sir." Kara quickly corrected with a blush
They stealthily landed behind some trees. Kara browsed through her armband and found a design she liked. Her suit shimmered and in its place she now wore a black tank top that hugged her curves, a short black skater skirt and a pair of black shoes.
"How do I look." Kara asked
"Beautiful as always. Now you know what I said earlier. No more official titles and do not use your powers here." Vor said and she nodded her head in understanding
They entered the city together and began to walk by the sidewalk. The city was littered with huge skyscrapers. In between them the ground was littered with trees and plants with flowers and fruits. Flocks of birds humming in the tune of nature. In short the city was an eco-friendly one in its best form. The transports were all anti- grav vehicles so no burning gas pollutions as well.
"How did the people adjusted to this sudden change Vor." Kara asked as she saw children running around trees and their parents standing nearby watching them
"Well change didn't come suddenly. There are still groups of humans living in the way they lived before in the forests. Most others embraced our help and culture. Not only that, most of the humans that came here were youn children. They quickly learned and adapted while the elder generation lagged behind. Majority follows our culture now so there are no problems." Vor said
They walked around the city visiting different shops, art galleries, museums and amusement parks. They even went for a movie to pass time until finally they decided to stay in a hotel for the night. The Empire had the same currency in the four planets that is the Imperial Credits. But no physical notes were used only digital currency so all anyone needed was an armband for any purchase of goods and services.
After freshening up in their room Vor and Kara was having dinner in the room.
"This place is amazing. How come humns can accomplish all this. I mean how did they develop this much as a society producing a wide variety of art, songs, movies etc in a short time." Kara asked
"Artificial Intelligence do all the heavy lifting works with droids. Farming, Construction, Automobiles, Mining all these operations are ow done without human aid. So there are no jobs in these industries. As a result the humans have more free time to pursue other venues. The education system itself is designed to drevelop individual skills rather than creating a generation of drones with no useful skill." Vor said
"But still this is an incredible achievement." Kara said
"Humans are very adaptable in change. Now a large portportion of the population concentrates on Space exploration." Vor said. After dinner they decided to let sleep claim them.

The next morning the city was bustling with activity. Kryptonian banners hung everywhere around the city. Huge bonfires has been set up in different parts of the city. People were rushing in before the Sun rise to get near tge bonfires and waited. Vor and Kara secured a spot near one of the bonfires near the hotel they were staying. One of the elders began to recite prayers and threw some wooden constructs into the fire. As the Sun rose up in the sky everyone byan to link their arms and began dancing around the fire. Drums began to beat a tune for the ritualistic dance. They all danced until the Sun rose up on the sky. As the Sun light illuminated the city the people began to stop dancing and face the sun to pray for good health.
Vor felt his power increase as the prayers of the people empowered him. This was the speciality of SG universe. There was a spiritual chord that if attached to one's person due to prayer or belief then they can draw power indefinitely. Somehow the Alterans are against the use of such practices but the Ori still continues to use this. He had no need for such powers but he was not going to ask the Tollans to stop worshiping him. Because he knew a lost cause when he saw one.
Kara embraced him with a smile as the sun slowly rose up.
"Thank you for taking me here Vor. I enjoyed it more than I thought." she said as she let go and stood on her toes and kissed him fully on the lips. Vor snaked hims arms around her slim waist and pulled ger towards him and deepened the kiss. They lost themselves for amonent in the passion but suddenly alarmsbega. to surround arounaround the city. Tgey broke the kiss alarmed by the warning sirens.
"What is this. What hapoened?" Kara asked lookung around
"The city is in danger. We are under attack." Vor said and he looked up and enhanced his vision. He saw one spaceship falling straight to the city on a collision course.
"The city have defences right " Kara asked
Just then a beam of blue light began to blanket the city. Certain debris began to fall upon the dom but it held back and burned away anything solid that touched it. Larger and larger debris began to fall wirh booming sounds upon the barrier.
"Vor, I think there are two ships and one is completely destroyed while the other is mostly compact. If all of it fall on the barrier it may fail." Kara said urgently
"You are right. STAR are you there." Vor talked to the armband
"Open a section of the barrier and close it as we exit the barrier." he commanded
"Yes sir." STAR replied
Vor and Kara changed themselves back into their suit with a simple command and took off into the sky startling the Tollans around them. A small secrion opened in the barrier and they exited outside and it immediately sealed up.
Kara began blasting all the falling devris with her laser attacks. Anything she missed would immediately be struck down by Vor's lightning attacks. A large piece was travelling their way and by the looks of it, it was a hull of Ha'tak. Vor charged up his power and blasted off with a speed that left Kara in the smoke so to speak. He punched into the hull and released the built-up energy and with a golden glow that blinded everyone the hull became vapourised in an instant. The resulting energy from the blast of a Naquadah powered ship would have certainly been dangerous to the planet and the people as they would be affected by the radiation but luckily Kara and Vor absorbed the energy from the blast quickly into their bodies.
Kara floated near him and looked around surprised.
"So you were going easy on us." she asked
"In a sense. Brace yourself, another one is coming down." he said
If the Ha'tak was 700 meters in length, this one certainly exceeded that and it was of unknown origin.
"STAR, can you establish any contact with the ship." Vor asked
"No sir. The ship is not responding." STAR answered
"Kara, help me stabilize the ship." Vor said as he flew towards the ship. Kara flew closely behind him and within minutes they neared the ship and Vor caught the ship from it's flat base on it's extreme end while Kara quickly caught the other end. They steadied the ship and slowly began to float down the ship towards an air base in Tollan. The entire air base was on high alert and the Tollan Airspace was now littered with the Empire's air force.They set the Starship down carefully and stepped back. Kara stood by his side as the airforce command approached their position.
"My emperor." they kneeled
"Rise. Why have the airforce refused to engage and destroy the threat." Vor asked
"My lord, the hyperspace drive that these ships initiated exited directly into the Tollan atmosphere. The gravity did the rest of the work and in that combined speed we could not respond sir. Our response time is ten minutes, everything happened within ten minutes." one of the commanders said
"Then clearly we still have to improve ourselves a lot." Vor said
"Yes my lord. We are prepared to engage anty hostile invasions sir, but all hostile invasion force must exit their starships from hyperspace outside the gravitational pull of a planet. So we did not factor a scenario like this happening and thus left us unprepared in this situation." the commander explained
"Hmm. Provide medical care to the survivors in this ship. They are Asgardians so provide utmost care and keep them alive. Also inform the SIC and ask them to bring as many technical experts as they can. Map out the starship and recover any data that you can especially the power source of the ship." Vor ordered
"Yes my lord. Right away." the commander said and began leading the men away to do his work
Within minutes the injured Asgardians were removed from the starship and moved to a medical facility immediately. The cellular degradation was clearly visible on the Asgardians as he saw the dry hairless skin of their cloned bodies. The SIC soon entered the field quickly and began exploring the Asgardian Starship. Vor was hopeful that they would find a different energy source and recover any data pertaining to it. While Krypton employed Trinium alloyed Naquadah generators as power source he was not averse to find a new source of power and Asgardians definitely have a more advanced form of power source from what he remember from his old world.
He had thought about starting a nuclear program soon but he was hesitant to approach it so soon. The old Kryptonian battleships worked on that power source and he had the relevant data regarding its construction with him but for now he was putting it on hold as the research teams were concentrating on Naquadah, Solar, Geothermal, Wave and Wind energy in Krypton. If he prematurely introduce Nuclear Fission and Fusion then the dependency on this power source would only increase as time goes and that was a dangerous thing. So as of now he was promoting other energy sources in the Empire and he certainly would be happy if he could unearth the secrets of Asgardian power source and use it for the benefit of his empire.
Now the long wait began. What would first happen? Would the Asgardians recover forst or would the technicians unearth the secrets of the Asgardian ship. Atleast he had company while he waited.
"You did good Kara and I enjoyed our kiss too bad it got interrupted." Vor said as he put his hand on her tight suit covered ass and squeezed. Kara mumbled a thanks and a cute blush covered her face but that did not stop her from leaning her body into him providing easy access.
"You know Kara, now that this all have happened here I think an extended stay in Tollana is necessary. Don't you think so?" Vor asked
"Yes Vor." she mumbled and he continued to squeeze and pinch her ass as they observed the base
