Gordanians. Large green monsters. Looks like a cross between a toad and a bull. They're as about pleasant as the two as well. The large group had left their ship to the fierce company of four large guards as they went on their search for the Grand Ruler. The head Gordanian heard faint talking and turned his head in the direction and spotted the Grand Ruler and her accomplice hiding in a corner talking. The two looked over and spotted them, turned and ran down the alley. The Gordanian gave a large roar and charged after them, his team following close behind.
"You are sure that will keep them busy long enough to get away Dick?" Kori whispered from up on a rooftop. The two heroes watched as their hologram images led the Gordanians far away from their ship.
"Positive Kori. My teammate Cyborg programmed it himself, and he couldn't tell the difference when I used it. Now come on, we've got the element of surprise on our hands."
They stealthily made their way to the Gordanian ship. Robin first threw out four smoke pellets. It didn't take long for the Gordanian guards to lose sight and breath. Robin and Kori then let out a storm of explosives and Starbolts and the Gordanians went down in a matter of moments. They checked to make sure they were really out before heading into the ship. Robin pulled out his Bo staff.
"Ok Kori, be on the look out. You make your way to the cockpit, while I check out the ship."
Kori nodded and did as she was told. It took her a few minutes, but she eventually got the ship out of the air and quickly shot off into the sky. Six minutes later a disheveled looking Robin grunted his way into the seat next to her, "I would have liked a little warning next time you shoot off into space and I can't brace myself."
Kori ignored his comment, "Oh Dick this is wonderful! We are so close to finding my sister and brother!"
"Don't get your hopes up. I don't think landing on the planet will be cake."
"…please, what is cake?"
The two heroes stared as they approached an ugly, swamp colored planet become closer with each passing second, "Kori, you do realize that they probably already know we're coming."
"Yes, I am aware."
"Ok, just making sure we're on the same page."
They continued on in silence, both subconsciously thinking if the other could hear their heartbeat pounding in their chests'. As they came through the atmosphere nothing attacked at them. They were waiting for them. They soon saw many shapes that resembled the Beasts. They were almost there.
"Oh man, where is he!"
"Dude, if he hasn't answered by now, then I don't think he'll ever answer. Maybe the communicator got destroyed?"
"Oh come on, do you really think he has one? Man he whips those things out of nowhere to give to new honorary titans. Do you honestly believe he's got one on his that belt of his?"
"Well obviously! Can't you get a lock on his ship? Or maybe a lock on the grand ruler's ship?"
"What good would finding the Empress' ship do, Gar? It's destroyed!"
"Well we'll just have to wait for Rachel to wake up. Then she can maybe find Dick."
"Well I just hope she wakes up soon, before we're too late."
When the two landed no one came and rapped threw the door and apprehend them. They just stood out there and waited. Robin and Kori looked at each other for a moment before nodding to one another and getting up. The door hissed as they made their way outside.
"Ah, the Grand Ruler of Tamaran. What a pleasure it is to be in your company. We give you great thanks for making this easier for us. Now we don't have to go out and bring you here ourselves," A Gordanian greeted sarcastically. Four Gordanians stepped up and grabbed the two, holding them in place and revealing a certain familiar face.
(in Tamaranian)"Sister? Sister! You are uninjured? Oh X'hal you are still alive!" Kori shouted but then her face became confused after a few moments of observation. Her sister was not restrained in any way, and her face held a look of mischief and sick amusement, "Sister? Why do you not do anything? What is wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong, Dear Kori'ander. In fact, everything is perfect! Alls going according to plan."
"I do not understand…?"
Kom'ander snickered, "Why isn't that surprising? I always was the quickest wit of the family. You see, sister dear? I planned all this. What better way to gain the crown that is rightfully mine? Give the Gordanians the planet Tamaran, have all the test subjects they'll ever need. And in return I'll have rule over the people!"
Kori's eyes lit up, "Your reign would be short if you give the Tamaranians up to be slaughtered!"
"Not necessarily. All Tamaranians over five and forty would be given for experimentation, while everything below would be able to prosper under my rule!"
"But why sister? Why would you ever wish the same torture that you and I had gone through on our people?"
"For revenge! How dare they deny me what was rightfully mine! And then give it to someone so unworthy and pathetic as you!" Kori winced at her sister's words, as did Robin. Kom'ander looked over at him, glanced back at her sister, then back raising an eyebrow. She made her way over to him, "And who might this be, sister dear? Your knight in shinning armor? Figures that someone had to come rescue you, I always was rescuing you when we were younger."
"Please, leave him alone! Your quarrel is with me, and only me Kom'ander," Kori cried out.
Kom'ander looked over at her sister, bored, and then turned back to Robin with interest, "Perhaps I'll keep him for myself? He is quite handsome, wouldn't you agree little sister? And it good shape I warrant. He would be fun to have around," Kom'ander closed her mouth over his. Kori gasped but in a quick second after Kom'ander's action Dick pulled his lips away.
Dick held eye contact with a smug looking Kom'ander before spitting on the ground, "Listen, I'm not like most earth men, so sorry to say sluts don't get me off."
Kom'ander's eyes lit up in bright violet and she backhanded Robin across the face, "Insolent boy! How dare you address the Grand Ruler like that!"
Robin's face was nonchalant, "I was talking to you, not Kori."
Kom'ander roared in furry as two amethyst orbs lit up in her hands. She was stopped by beams of florescent green, and was shot away from Robin. Kom'ander looked over at her sister, enraged, "You impudent little Zorf Neck! How dare you defend this pathetic creature."
"It is not he who is pathetic, sister," Kori said firm and quietly. Kom'ander roared in anger as a violet orb ignited in her hand and shot Kori dead on, and she went limp.
"KORI!"
"Take her and the worthless human to their cell!" there was a grunt in response but she went forward and clutched Robin's face in her hand, "Do appreciate the company, for my useless little sister will be the last thing you see."
"If you must know, that isn't such a bad punishment," Robin snapped.
Kom'ander glared at Robin, "The Gordanians are very pleased, they've never experimented on a human before."
Robin groaned as he came to consciousness, only to be welcomed by a splitting headache, and his hands bound behind him in chains.
"I am, sorry, for all this," a soft voice spoke behind him, and he realized he was sat up straight and back to back with Kori.
"Sorry? Sorry for what? This isn't your fault."
The Grand Ruler sighed, "Please Richard, do not be so kind. It is my fault. If I had not been so stubborn, and insisted upon saving my family, you would not be here."
"Kori, don't blame yourself. There was no way you could've known what your sister had done. This is nobody's fault but hers."
"Oh Dick, you do not understand. You have been unconscious for the past eight hours. They will be arriving here soon to take you and I away."
"8 hours? That long? I don't even remember being knocked out," Robin stated lightly.
"Dick, please. Now is not the time. You and I are practically on our death beds, and you are not taking it seriously. Ry'ander is dead, Kom'ander has won."
"No, Kori she hasn't. and you can't let her."
"I cannot defeat her."
"Who told you that bull shit? Her? Of course you can Kori."
"Her Starbolts are more powerful than mine—
"So? Battles aren't won by brute strength, Kor. They're won by using strategies, and finding weaknesses."
"But, what about you? I will be put under experimentation, that I might be able to withstand for a small period of time. You I fear will not last long, and that is my fault."
"Damn it Kori'ander no it's not! Stop blaming yourself! I don't blame you, so don't blame yourself ok? It's not your fault," Robin whispered loudly but then he quickly calmed down and continued on with a humorous tone, "Besides, they forgot to search me before tossing me in here. I guess the Gordanians aren't the most intelligent inhabitants of the Vega System?"
"…Your utility belt…" Kori whispered, "certainly that would not be enough, Dick."
Robin feigned offense, "Hey! You haven't seen me in action. You don't know what I'm capable of," he got serious and he turned his head and body as much as he could, and Kori did the same, "Listen, I want you to try and fight. Don't give up, 'cause if you do, then Kom'ander wins. I don't care what she says, no one is better fit for Tamaran than you, Kori. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. And besides, you're a lot stronger than you look," Robin smiled at her and she returned it graciously.
"Richard, thank you for being so supportive, it means a lot."
"Think nothin' of it, Kor. But everything I've said is true. Don't forget it. and also, when you completely own Kom'ander and defeat her, don't worry about me ok? I've got a plan going, so I want you to get out of here as fast as you can, ok?"
"Dick what are you--?
"I can't explain it, just follow my directions, ok?"
"But—
"Kori'ander, please just drop it alright?"
"…you will…be uninjured, yes?"
Robin stared at her hopeful, confused eyes before he abruptly kissed her. She squeaked in surprise, but let him kiss her for a few moments before she softly kissed him back. It wasn't long after that loud clanging of the guards were heard, "Hey! Stop doing…what ever it is your doing!"
They pulled away and stared at each other when suddenly Robin was yanked away, "RICHARD!"
"Don't worry Kori, just remember what I said, okay?"
Kori nodded slowly as tears filled her eyes. A guard turned to her, "The Grand Ruler of Tamaran wishes to deal with you personally," Kori didn't fight their rough handling of her.
This was it.
