[DBitp] Here Comes The Son

[Sagetim]

The Shining City/Moving to World of Kais

Max waited for everyone who was coming to get loaded up. If you haven't posted yet, and wanted your character to have joined on the ship at this time, just assume they made it on time and got on with the others. As he was waiting for whoever was coming along to get loaded up, the holo-projection of Max looked over to Jade, "Well, if things are rather...sticky, I may have to put in a call for reinforcements or evacuate, you know, instead of simply retreat with the ship. If that happens, the city will show you to the appropriate room. And remember, there's more than one way to go super saiyan...so, you know, don't blow up Earth while I'm gone, eh?"

Max chuckled, and with an indicator that the people getting aboard were aboard, Max waved and cut communications. The outer doors to his ship closed up. The people who had entered through them found that they had gone through an airlock room with a few seats, along with a second, smaller airlock, and finally a third that just seemed to be a series of heavy armored doors that could be closed in an emergency. Behind all of those was a much more expansive area, with seating, a snack dispensary, tables, and bathrooms. The interior of the ship was not nearly as ornate as the city, but it was clean, functional, and sturdy. And the seats were comfortable, they even came with seat belts. Though those seemed to be more of an emergency use option, as there was no indication that the ship had started to move once it started going. Well, no indication beyond the view out the door they had come in through.

The ship, all two kilometers of it, pulled nimbly out of it's very low orbit and gracefully up into the sky. As it moved up through the air, the sound of it's engines roaring was replaced by something else as Max activated his refined FTL system. Space started to shake and shimmy, vibrating, and passing that vibration along to the nearest matter around. Which was the air, which simply propagated the sound on it's own, as sound does. The end result was a rather musical exit as the ship went from pointing upwards, to simply disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Max, at the controls, nodded as things worked how they were supposed to. His ship had jumped out of the confines of the Universe itself without too much issue. Skirting the edge of reality, real time wasn't technically passing, while apparent time seemed to be chugging along just fine within the confines of the ship. Using his sensors, he found that trying to scan a place to land in Otherworld seemed to be blocked. That was disconcerting, but Max wasn't about to give up so easily. After all, he had done Some basic mapping in the ten year interim. It just meant that he might accidentally run someone over if they were flying. Or run their house over if it was one of those floating flying affairs. Let's be real, his ship is ridiclously sized, if he lands somewhere inhabited it could take out a few neighborhoods. Which is why Max used his basic map to aim for what he thought was a relatively uninhabited location. They could adjust from there, and probably wouldn't be running anyone over.

The security net, however was still a problem. It was blocking regular means of teleportation, and while that wouldn't stop his ship flying right through it, Max was unwilling to risk his ship and everyone in it being cut to ribbons by the heavenly security system. So rather than fly through it to see what happened, Max brought the main reactors online and filled the capacitors for the main cannon. The passengers, if they looked out the nearest little window, would see complete blackness outside. Not just the absence of light, but the absence of matter. Possibly even the absence of space, but the end result was much the same visually.

With the capacitors charged, Max partially activated his drive system, starting to open a path into Otherworld. However, as that path intersected the security net, Max grabbed hold of an over sized lever and pulled it to fire his ship's main cannon. What was released was a battering ram of energy potent enough to split worlds. Max had, of course, not tested it on any planets. That would be rather excessive. But the math and tests had checked out. If the concentrated beam of power was enough to punch a hole through the security net, Max would engage the rest of his drive's sequence, and fly his monstrosity of science into the air space above the World of the Kais. If all worked out, the ship would appear out of an apparent explosion in the sky, as the apparent time of the ship synchronized with the time in reality.

For the passengers, the trip was...well, a little short. Not much to look at out the window, but some nice snacks and the necessary amenities to get ready for a fight.
