Chapter 34
"Back again Master?"
Lilith asked from the large crystal monitor. Since the fair a few days ago, Jason has been stopping by the fortress. Laying on a large flat crystal , he didn't really feel like doing much of anything. Well, more like he just needed time without a million sounds running through his head constantly.
While Lala and his Father forgave him for his slightly careless take on responsibility at the Unity Fair. Not that they were that disappointed in the first place, he was more or less suffering from self blame. The self blame for making Lala frustrated with him so soon after he promised himself he would try his best not to.
"Lilith, is there anything I can do?" Jason asked before his lovely AI succubus pulled up a near three endless list that was constantly updating.
"These are currently the list of crimes in progress, while this section are natural disasters, and finally these are missing or cold cases, if you want to try your hand." Lilith modeled like a showgirl.
Studying the list, Jason was sure he wasn't ready to step into the limelight. Not that he needed to step out, but if he suddenly began. Someone will grow suspicious or only a matter of time before he is seen.
"Hmm, a couple meteorites are heading towards Earth again?" Jason grumbled.
"Yes." Lilith said.
"I guess I will deal with those then." Jason said as he took off towards space.
Still on screen, Lilith had hearts in her eyes as she watched him leave. "He is so cool and hot," she mumbled as she fanned herself dramatically.

When he arrived in space, instead of finding a large space rock. Jason found himself looking at a large metal warship. The sun illuminating the side where a large upside down triangle formed by two thick lines hosted another triangle. From three lines that had two more branching off, the shapes were encased by strange lettering.
Staring at the ship, Jason just pinched his nose before he was blasted back down to earth by a large energy cannon.
'That is no meteor!' Jason mentally swore grumpily as he slammed into the ground.
--
While Jason was dealing with the apparent hostile ship inbound for Earth. Lala was listlessly wandering the apartment. Since a few days ago with Jason off at the fortress and not being near him. She felt like the sudden distance was her fault between the two of them.
'Was I in the wrong?' Lala asked herself countless times but could only shake her head.
No matter how many times she thought about it, she came to the same conclusion. It would hurt him if some died in which he felt he could prevent. All, because he handed off the responsibility irresponsibility.
"Lala dear. Why don't you just take a seat?" Liz patted the couch seat next to her. "Tell me what got you so worked up."
Taking the seat next to her, Lala unleashed her worries. It was totally different from her upbeat and slightly childish personality. While listening to the worries, Liz didn't say anything to interrupt her and let her finish.
"What should I do?" Lala asked.
"Simply nothing." Liz answered in a short and simple manner.
"Huh?"
"It's not like you did anything wrong, but if it's bothering you, just talk to him." Liz patiently said.
"Ok!" Lala cheered up instantly before realising something. "Do you know where he is?"
"Just call him? He has a phone, you know."
Dialing, it began ringing when a woman's voice came through. "Hello Lala. Do you need something?"
"Lilith, can you put Jason on?"
"No can do sweetheart. He is currently dealing with some stuff up in space." Lilith responded.

"I really hate these energy guns." Jason growled as he was pushed backwards as three blasts hit him.
Unlike the large cannon outside that knocked him down to earth, the small guns only managed to slow him down a bit. Basically dismantling and knocking unconscious all those he came across. Jason found the space ship a bit more spacious than he originally thought.
"This is the farthest you go." a man with blue skin said.
In black clothing while holding a large hammer that glittered in purplish energy. He stood tall, standing over Jason by nearly a head taller. He was Ronan the Accuser, a radical warlord.
Slamming his hammer down, a large turret of energy shot out of the top sending Jason into the wall. While it was more powerful than the previous energy guns, it was weaker than the cannon. Thus, besides his already torn clothes being torn some more, he was relatively unharmed.
"I am really getting annoyed." Jason grumbled as he blasted a hole into the wall with his fist.
Revealing a few underlings who were on the other side. Jason wanted to curse his luck as he took another blast from the hammer. Taking a deep breath, he turned the area into a blanket of ice.
"I am curious about your species, but you are deemed dangerous to the Kree, thus I shall get rid of you." Ronan said as he swung his hammer down on top of Jason's head.
Reaching up with his hand, he swiftly caught the hammer. Using a bit of strength, he pried the hammer from the man's hand.
"I wonder if Lala will like this?" Jason asked himself as he gave Ronan a swift kick.
As the leader, fell gripping his stomach as he looked up in fear. He realized he might have made a slight mistake in coming to this planet.
"What are you? How can such a being be hiding on such a weak planet?" Ronan asked.
"Just because I live on this planet doesn't mean I am hiding." Jason answered. "As for what I am...I am Krypontian."
--
After rounding up the rest of the crew, Jason handed them over to Zastin to deal with. While the man nearly fainted at such a large haul and unsure if they could all fit within the ship. He gave Jason a small praise for taking down such a fleet by himself.
'Now, I need some new clothes.' Jason thought as his clothes had more holes than swiss cheese.
