Koto got back up to his feet as the King got off him, looking at the crystal with a forlorn expression as he followed him and his guards.<br/>"We did not claim the planet for our own your majesty... we only wished to use it's powers and technologies to fight the necronians, to gain back all that we have lost and make a brighter future for us all..."<br/>The King paused mid-step and turned around, looking at him with a frown before looking at the statue "sometimes, things that are lost cannot be reclaimed..."<br/><br/>Meanwhile in the depths of unfathomable timespace, a skeletal hand plunged back into three dimensional reality, the gleaming eye set in the mettalic skull rotating slightly to zoom in it's optics on the targets in the garden as it raised its rifle and took aim, watching as the king took the crystal and handed it to his guards.<br/>"Target spotted master, we are clear to initiate exterminae protocol 7 and are awaiting your grace..."<br/>"Alert me when you have the crystal in your possesion, cull the rest..."<br/>"Affirmative master, initiating protocol..."<br/><br/>Suddenly, two mettalic hands reached out of thin air, grabbing the arms of the two guards, pulling them into the void, the crystal slipping from one guards hand as he gave a surprised yelp before being pulled into the ether.<br/>The King spun around, a primal snarl on his face as he drew a greatsword that dangled from his belt, when the ruby blade of the dragonian kingdom caught the light, it sparkled and shimmered as it's razor sharp edge sang through the wind, slicing the necronian's wrist and releasing his other guard before he could suffer a similar fate. But then there was a thunderous crack as a bolt of concentrated green lightning hit the guard, the King watching as his guard disintegrated before his eyes.
