The dull Planet Mogu. Its sky a dull brown no matter the time of day, and its people a passive race of mushroom-folk whose main skillset was farming. Conquering this world was easy; in less than an hour their populace had surrendered. Not a single casualty on either side, and minimal structural damage to the capital city meant there was little to do aside from ensuring a smooth transition of power.
A battalion of twenty Saiyans would be more than enough to keep the peace, and so it was that Vocado sent the remainder of his army-- some thousand strong-- off into space to move to the next world.
This was his career now. Stealing worlds away and adding them to the collection. The Saiyan Kingdom was a half-dozen strong now. Fringe worlds slowly being acclimated to being annexed into a Kingdom's clutches. When he wasn't overseeing the expansion efforts, he was home on Plant, assisting Zuqetta with running the kingdom's crown world.
Was this the right thing to do? It felt right. Swallowing worlds into the fold. Collecting unique races to assist the future endeavors of the Kingdom. Something about it felt true to his bones. To his blood.
Twenty Saiyans. Three Tuffles. That was all that he left behind on the surface of Mogu to ensure it would transition into a vassal planet. Vocado stepped into his pod, allowing himself one last glance at this strange planet before he most assuredly forgot about it for the foreseeable future.
But something gave him pause. A Saiyan soldier was approaching, a hurry in his step. Vocado awaited his approach.
"Warmaster!" The soldier saluted, fist over heart. "We found something in the cave system near the river. Something you might want to see."
Vocado rolled his eyes. "How mysterious. Lead the way."
The trip was short. A riverbank near the edge of the city. A cave near that river. Small. Unassuming. And yet something was inside. A treasure hidden away.
A Ki orb hissed to life, brightening the cavern. Inside was a gruesome sight. Humanoid skeletons strewn about, with a lone corpse at the back of the cave. A fight; ancient and beyond their time. The lone skeleton had a blade run through its chest, rusted beyond recognition.
Something about this scene was off. Whoever this warrior was wore regal attire, torn to shreds by age. Having kept at bay a mob of opponents was impressive. but what caught his eye more were the... Earrings. A pair of them. Pristinely kept and affixed to the bones of the ears. His eyes narrowed, and he turned to the soldier who'd brought him here.
"See, General? He was protecting something. A treasure of some sort. We can't get the lockbox open just yet, but..."
It was only then that Vocado noticed the rusted chest behind the corpse. Large black metal. Heavy, it seemed. Vocado rolled his eyes, and blew the lid clean off with a bolt of Ki. Glittering gems and gold nuggets sparkled from inside the chest, much to the soldier's delight.
"Bring it back to the hoard vessel. I'll check the cave for any more supplies."
Another salute, and Vocado was alone again.
It was quiet here, save for the whistling wind of a breeze in the distance. Those earrings. Something about them seemed... Interesting. Where had he seen them before? Reflexively, he collected the pair, ripping them free from their resting places and depositing them in a small pouch where he stored coins.
He'd dissect them later. For now, he had a planet to leave behind.
Stepping out of the cave, he felt a rumble. The stone and dirt shook beneath him, and a shout came from way of the city. A Mogu champion, perhaps?
Vocado took to the skies, and raced towards the city. Primitive as they were compared to most races, they still had electricity, high-rise buildings, and a small military force. If they decided now to revolt, it would take minutes to quell.
Smoke plumed in the city. Just what was happening down there?
