Listening to his tale was riveting, they were on tinder hooks the entire time, glued to his expressions and the way he played out the scenes as if he were back in the battles. They even forgot that he was telling the story, it felt like they saw and experienced it themselves.
"So i ask you two, would you like to join me in taking over this planet", Isari said.
"Let's say we say yes, we do not have the strength you do, nor the means to help, even if we wanted too", Maria said.
"I figured you would say that, so i can make you both DarkMen, if you want", Isari said.
"I'm in", Richard said.
"Huh? You haven't even heard how", Isari said confusingly.
"You mention something about allegiance, so that paired with your story can only means we either be under you for the rest of our lives, or we become your slaves, either way it's better than waiting to die by these bugs", Richard said.
"You are right Richard, wel then I'm in too", Maria said.
"I understand. Well before that i will explain what's going to happen to you. First, it will hurt like hell, second, you will feel invincible, third, you cannot harm me in any way and must follow any orders that will not endanger your life, you won't become my slave".
"Well that's not bad at all, as a matter of fact, this is a great deal on our part", Maria said.
"Oh, and before i forget, if i die, you die", Isari said.
"I agree", Richard said.
"I agree", Maria said.
"Then its settled', Isari said as he pulled a needle out. "You would have to intake my blood. But before that let's move to someplace else".
They left the ragged shelter. In an open area behind a half-destroyed factory, he gave them his blood. They went through the same process he did.

They looked at each other and their status, they realized that they were beyond stronger than they were before. Their skin took on a darker shade, like a dark brown color.
"So you have been hiding this power all day, we must see how powerful we really are, put them up", Richard beamed.
Smirking, Isari put up his dukes, while Maria smiled and backed away.
Richard was fast, Isari barely dodged the right hook, but took the knee to the stomach.
Quick Attack- increases speed from 1% to 10% on attacks in succession
Hand-to-Hand Combat- while not using weapons unless weapons are gauntlets, tonfas, etc. increases atk, speed, def, and sta by 10% per lvl. Also slightly increases perception and reaction speed per lvl.
Isari went back in and they exchanged blows, every few attacks Isari was hit in the chest, gut, ribs, or legs every so often. After this loss, he ejected himself from close combat.
"Well it seems I cannot beat the two of you as i stand", Isari said.
"I get that you can not beat me, but Maria is a woman", Richard said.
"I agree, but by her body movements, the wat she talks, and no one has tried to molest her since I've known her. Is this not fishy?"
"How could I have missed this", Richard said aloud to himself.
"Wow. You are smart boy. I can indeed kill both of you if i so choose. All who have tried to touch me, has either died, or lost his manhood", she said.
Both guys shivered.
"Let's go back first, i found a lost space ship, while i was trying go unnoticed but those bugs caught me on the way back. The ship has the tech we need to build a small settlement. According to Bokin, the queen is at least Super tier, so we need someone at least at Mortal 9 to hold her off. Beating her without a Super is impossible at the moment".
The next day they grab all their valuables and ran. They made it to the cave by sundown.
"No worries, their is a space farm on the ship, we can live there while we prop up our faction".
By night fall they made it to the ship. The ship was stuck in stone but they can tell that the ship was gargantuan. In the ship they tried to open the doors to the rest area, locked. The sleeping quarters locked, the farmhouse locked, the Master Quarters locked.
"No entity can use the ship without the Captain's orders, head to the Bridge to get the captain's rite of passage", a feminine voice said.
They made their way to the bridge, and in the captain's seat, lay a skeleton with a uniform. He was tall, and in his black eyes lay a bluish gold pupil.
"Which of you think you deserve my ship, my legacy, are ye worthy", the captain said.
Both Maria and Richard stepped back.
"It seems I've been chosen to supersede you senior".
"Young one, you're not even marriageable age, hummmmm, it seems you have.....Zenovia do a bio-genometric analysis and him. Let's see where his potential lies".
"Yes sir, running scans now".
"All signals are above estimated values".
"Sir, our scans show that he as evolved".
"Impossible! Evolve as a mortal tier 1, rerun the biometrics".
"Affirmative, rerunning all scans".
"Not only has he evolved he also has a Unique Skill".
"Hummmm, this. Your potential is with out question, but i have three more tests, if you pass these, you will become the new captain".
"Senior, i will take the tests".
"Good! The first test will test your heart, the second will test your ability to command, the final test, the ship, herself will test you.
Boy i am, was a human, then a Wisemen, the a Genome King, later a Mech Lord, and finally Prime God Xeno Armou Gumain, Lord of Space and Machine. I ruled over several cosmos. When i thought i reached the peak, the Void beasts, and the Newers attacked my Cosmos. Zenovia appeared shortly after, she said that i did not have the power to beat them.
But in my folly i tried anyways, i lost two cosmos in the first battle, my family, my sworn brothers, and the Vatina alliance, I couldn't even beat the mid-tiered lieutenants. This broke me, i do not mind losing, but to them. Zenovia then told me that its because the leaders had a THRONE. I researched it for hundreds of years. This is all i can say until you become worthy.
Now let us begin".
