Ticoga had heard the news from multiple sources now. Four planets had been obliterated in the span of a standard galactic month - and Gandigan was dead. Killed by the Super Saiyan he sought out to destroy; because he fought alone. Given Gandigan's power, that was the only thing Ticoga could presume. Gandigan chose to confront the being that Ticoga, and likely others, had advised against fighting alone.
Such that it was, that Ticoga had sent teams to Plant. Their instructions were clear - collect any tracible power; any residual energies from the sky over Hatchi where the Super Saiyan had defied death. In a matter of days, the teams had returned with precisely that - residual readings. That had been the first step; the second step was inventing a machine that would tear open a portal back to Hell. If Lottus could brute force his way out of Hell, Ticoga would use the Empire's technological advancements to surgically cut his way in.
It took time, but once Ticoga acquired the final piece, it was ready. A Guiding Candle - a strange object said to be made with the wax from the ear of a King called Yemma, or Enma, depending on the culture speaking of the Judge of Souls. It cost a considerable amount to purchase, but it was worth it for the success of this mission. But Ticoga could not do it on Arcose - instead, he conducted the experiment on the F.S.S Acheron I. This ensured minimal danger potential to the Empire.
"The portal will only be open for a short time, my Lord." the croaky voice of one of the lead engineers of the Acheron informs Ticoga. "At best, it may allow you to cross the border for an hour - but we do not know how time may be affected in the Realms Beyond."
"An hour will be sufficient for this experiment." Ticoga replies. "Now... Open it."
When next Ticoga opens his eyes, the Emperor of Arcose finds himself standing atop the summit of a mountain. Ticoga reaches down, taking up a fist full of the snow - only for the snow to somehow blacken his palm?
"Soot..." Ticoga surmises. He straightens his posture, gazing out across the mountain range. There was no curvature to the landscape; it simply went... on. There was a massive lake of red to his left at the base of one of the mountains, and an impossibly vast forest of jagged-looking trees to his right. As Ticoga casts his gaze, he notes that the only point things leave his vision were at the limits of his ocular capability, and with no curvature, that meant the landscape of Hell was essentially flat, barring the mountains and forests.
Ticoga closes his eyes, and sends a telepathic burst with a single phrase...
[[Gandigan... Find me...]]
