People flocked to the streets

The Colonel and the advisors were in wonder of what they saw. Science might be able to explain the Lightsaber and the Zenith sword in some way. High level technology may easily explain his sophisticated outfits and moves.

However, this man subtly altered the scene with simply a movement of the stick he was carrying in his hand. What the hell was that? Mind you, the Zora were just 1.5 on Kardashev scale and though they had access to quantum computing and other advanced technology which had helped them extraordinary feats in science like better health services, longer life, faster development and uncovering other mysteries.

Quantum computing was always a huge leap in the field of science, so much so that at times quantum computing might look like something out of pure science fiction. No matter how absurd and powerful quantum computing was, Robin's actions alone were far more ludicrous.

"You.. How.. Are.. You.. Able.. To.. Do... That?" The Colonel hesitated before posing that query. Robin had a wide smile not because he was feeling proud for showing him magic, but because these species seemed to be just like humans, but with just an extra pair of arms.

He could see the areas in their garments designed to sprout additional arms, and he found that to be quite fascinating. He was interested in learning more about this arm-growth phenomenon, but it could wait for now. During this time, Myrene and Sigret advanced and, using the same concrete ropes that had been used to bring the four guys down, securely bounded them to the ground.

"Please.. Leave us.. We are sorry.. It is this bastard Zyra'thul who had forced us into this fight." One of the advisors unexpectedly broke down in tears. Once he witnessed Robin pull off such a spectacular feat of altering the surroundings, all mental defenses he had crumbled. He had heard that these things were only possible by the High Evolutionary.

It was no wonder that these species had such advanced technology. They truly are a galactic level society and were being supported by a High Evolutionary. They were still in the early stages of star system civilization and far behind galactic civilization.

"Yes.. It was this cruel Zyra'thul who is responsible for the deaths.. Please leave us.. We implore you. We only came here because we are being forced."

"Yes.. Yes.. We won't return to this place when we leave. The Zora won't ever set foot on your soil, In the future."

Once the first advisor broke down, it was followed by the other two. Robin found it amusing to see their antics. He had no idea that betrayal still existed among his race. Robin always had a different point of view when it came to aliens. He believed that advanced technical aliens will undergo emotional as well as technological evolution.

Although it was really strange, Robin always had a unique perspective on aliens. In contrast to humans, he expected them to be distinct and have different emotional subgroups, yet it seemed some elements remained the same. Though he didn't know how advanced this civilization was, he wasn't expecting this from a high and ultra advanced technological society.

As he listened to these men's prayers, Robin simply shook his head. Even though the Colonel was furious, he was remarkably silent. He didn't appear to respond to his other men's betrayal. He realized that shouting here would only diminish his dignity because he was now a POW. There was no turning back now that he had lost the battle.

As instructed by Sigret, the Battlecruisers deployed a few troops to hunt down the detainees in the interim. And for the first time, the Earth's inhabitants got a close-up look at the warriors who had been defending their home.

And it should be noted that some of them were able to determine that these men resembled Stracraft's Marines. Their entire body was clad in a peculiar suit of power armor that offered both protection and improved mobility. The majority of the armor's hue was gray or silver, and it had an angular, streamlined appearance. It had strengthened plate, including as arm guards, chest armor, and shoulder pads, which increased the Marine's combat toughness. And in this case, the power armors also gave them the standard protection one would get in space.

The Terran marines were quickly positioned in front of the door. Five men arrived, and when they saw the Supreme Commander, they all kneeled. It was the Captain of the Batlecruiser itself who had come.

"Please pardon me, Supreme Commander for showing disrespect when you had arrived in my battlecruiser... I couldn't provide a proper welcome to you."

"We are sorry.."

"We are sorry.."

"We are sorry.."

The males all uttered the same phrase and begged for pardon. Robin was perplexed. He didn't even take notice of the lack of emotion these people were displaying at the time he came. It was wartime, if these people started showing formalities he would have been rather irritated.

Some procedures were not as vital as human lives. Respect was fine, but he hated it for show purposes. In fact, he was relieved that the Captain had made an effort to stop him from going to space because he believed it to be risky.

"Captain. Along with the other Captains and brave marines, you did a fantastic job, even helping to win the war for us. Respect and hospitality should be the least concern of ours during wartimes. While obeying commands is acceptable, lives are more vital than displaying proper military deference in trying circumstances." said Robin. The Captain breathed a sigh of relief and joy at learning that their Supreme Commander was not only strong but also intelligent and reasonable.

"Thank you, Supreme Commander." The Captain continued to bow as he spoke.

"Take these men and find out everything about their civilization. We'll need the intelligence.

"Yes, Supreme Commander. Wel will love to do so." The Captain remarked before dragging the tied Colonel and his advisers away. Of course, the advisers screamed, cried, and begged, but the Captain silenced them after making them put on spacesuits so they could be taken to the waiting Medivac ships.

Before being dragged away against his will, Colonel Zyra'thul gave Robin one final, intense glance as if to imprint Robin's picture in his mind. Robin didn't care about the hostile gaze because he would never, ever let this man escape. According to Terran law, he can be executed by hanging or taken as a prisoner of war.

The information this man held, which would give him a general idea of how their galaxy operated and also let him see how other civilizations were, was the only thing he cared about.

"Let's return home." said Robin. Sigret then activated the TARDIS, and they quickly returned to Pyongyang. He didn't come out of TARDIS immediately and went ahead to sanitize himself. He had encountered extraterrestrial species that might be harboring pathogens that were dangerous to humans.

When they arrived back, the TARDIS was also thoroughly cleaned, and nobody was allowed inside. Only after a proper sanitization did Robin come out and was welcomed by a hug and kiss from Cathrin. She had a happy face seeing her boyfriend back to safety.

"Don't try to be too dramatic next time. Will you?" stated Cathrin.

"I wasn't exaggerating. Just wanted to lessen the casualties." Robin counter-argued.

"Its weird that you are God to them and they would have to die for you no matter what." Rita remarked while standing to one side. Despite what she said, she and everyone else present appreciated the Terrans' protection of them.

"They have their own life and can lead them if they want. I have never restricted them. haven't you seen the scientists on Nod. I have given them a good life and they seem to be enjoying it too."

"Did the Colonel say anything when you caught them?" Sauvik, who was more worried about the aliens than Robin's inventions.

"No, not right now. But as soon as the questioning begins, we will learn more." said Robin. After that, they discussed the amazing feat he had just accomplished in space and how the entire Earth had observed it.

It beautiful and mesmerizing.

Naturally, Robin let Sauvik and Cathrin to touch the lightsaber and experience its power. To celebrate their success, they all went out to supper later.

Robin was shocked to observe the revelry when he and his family entered Pyongyang's streets. He was unaware that everyone in the globe was busy celebrating the decisive triumph over the 'evil' aliens.

Now almost all the people of the world believed that whatever happened was real and thus they were more grateful than ever. Everyone, regardless of wealth or poverty, flocked to the streets and offices closed to celebrate the first triumph. Even though none of the Earth's inhabitants took part in this conflict, they felt secure.
