Those that survived gathered at a spot designated by Captain Frez. It wasn't actually designated, it was just a spot on a nearby hill that Captain Frez had landed and had sent out a beacon for the survivors that remained mobile. Nova, who remained unseen as he watched the full scale rout, and watched the enemy forces quickly fall back into formation and continue on. Maleficus, who wasn't an expert in military warfare, his only experience being more studying then actual hands on, though it wasn't to say that he was ignorant on the subject, knew well enough that the enemy was skilled at what they did.
The units that had lost their commanders simply joined the ranks of those that remained, more-so bolstering the possible ego's of the Warriors. The Imperfect Namekian entertained thoughts of exactly what would happen if he snuck into the enemies lines and removed the life force from one of those commanders. But he quickly dismissed the thought for now, as he turned back and moved to the rendezvous point.
He touched down on the ground not far from the battered, but energetic Tamsin Suzaku, who had been in a light run in the same direction. As he came into full view of his dear comrade, she slowed nearly to halt. "Mast-" She paused remembering how he hated to be called such a thing, " Maleficus! You are alright!"
Nova grunted, giving the anly answer he'd give. A quick look in her eyes, showed that she had been worried, and even a closer look showed that deep compassionate innocence, that he so hated to see her lose. How much longer would she still keep that trait before a pure maliced killer instinct took over, he wondered. His face softened and he motioned for her to follow.
As they reached the top of the hill, a few open face tent's had been raised, the largest being a make-shift infirmary, where the injured were being tended to as fast as they could. The second, to largest, canopy housed many of the remaining able-bodied soldiers along with Capetian Frex, and another that stuck out. It was a human with short black hair, built and bulky.His clothing was military fatigues, with a pattern that depicted the plant life of Name; Mixed azure patterns with a light shade of green mixed in as well. He looked fit for war, and seemed like he lived for it.
Those that were of lesser rank and command had found seats or stood around. There were of course, ample seats available, but it was as if the standing were to hyped or anxious to sit and calm themselves. That was the best the Namekian could assume. The two commander's seemed to be in a conversation all to themselves, while even more and more troops gathered. From what Mal Nova could see their total was around half of a single unit.
It wasn't much and the enemy had still managed to leave with three to four times that much. They had also lost two of their three commanders though. The Renegade Warrior, couldn't stop but wonder, and think. His thoughts of course seemed to travel to his partner and he noticed it when he heard the message that interrupted his own thoughts.
They just lost a battle. They need something to boost their morale. They need a reason to go on.
Nova paused for a moment. He forgot that they held a bond so strong that his thoughts could sometimes register in her mind. He shuddered actually thinking he might be losing his touch. He knew though they had been apart for so long that he hadn't even thought about it, but wondered how much more she might have felt. He shook his head, and continued though, as he thought about what she said.
Frez noticed him first and ended the strenuous conversation he was having with the other commander abruptly and was quick to acknowledge the Imperfect Namek. "Ahh, finally, he shows himself. The unsung hero of the day."
Maleficus paused until the gray clad Namekian clasped his hand in his own to show his appreciation. The look in the Captain's eyes seemed sincere, and it of course made the Jade Fiend feel good that he had started his foundation of making a name for himself.
"Unsung? Hero?" The dark voice from behind spoke up as a confused interjection. Frez turned and nodded, to the second commander.
"Yes, this is the one that saved me and took out not one,but two of their leaders." The human scoffed as if it was such a big deal with a 'Humph', and Frez, sensing the resentment and tension quickly attempted to defuse it by an introduction. "This is Captian Luvuto. He's from Earth, and is of the special forces nature. He was sent here to help." Nova nodded, but was more intrigued about the 'special forces' and what that meant. the Gray cloaked Namkeian quickly introduced the two as Maleficus Nova and Tamsin Suzaku.
"Right now", he added, "We are discussing what we should do next."
The tone of the commander's voice seemed as if it was as much of a question as a statement. Nova, whose whose face couldn't be forever shadowed, looked around as he removed his hood. He observed the faces of those who looked back at them. Some were hardened and ready, some confused, and some scared. Nova looked back to Frez, then to Luvuto, and recognized what was most likely the internal conflict. There were two commanders and not enough men to go around.
Nova recognized the issue, and thought of Tamsin and her own observations. He closed his eyes for a few moments, slightly longer then a blink, but not long enough to cause much worry. He knew h'd hate himself for this later, but for now he took a deep breath.
"We retaliate and attack." His voice was sincere and he truly meant it.
"I agree." From behind there stood eleven figures, familiar to only Tamsin and Nova would know. Desion, along with ten other Mystics stood there. "We have have come to aid Maleficus Nova in his cause. We are, for now under the control of him and those that he follows."
Nova looked at the white haired elvish warrior and was curious at it all. He expected more but, he knew that he couldn't miss a beat as he looked into the more-then-hopeful eyes of Tamsin. He turned to the crowd then to Frez and Luvuto. He let out a sigh, and let out a low growl.
"Yes! We retaliate and attack. They will soon focus on another army, or armies, and will do what they did to us. But a flanking move means we can have the advantage. We can take them from behind and show them their mistakes."
"But we are so few-" Frez was going to answer but Nova cut him off.
"If we admit defeat now then so will the next unit and the next. It will be a continuing chain that wont be broke. But if we help and attack we have a chance to shift the tide of war just a bit. And just a little nudge means a lot." Nova looked around and to the two commanders. "This is our planet! And I will not give it up! If i give it up then the others will fall. We will not fall for that simple reason. We withstood an attack, and we took out two commanders. We may have lost but we survived, and we have the knowledge to do something about it. We may have been overcome, but we can overturn the tides rather quickly. We are but a stone that can become an avalanche. This planet and all your other homes depend on it!"
Nova had never spoken like he had before, but he knew what it meant, and for some reason he believed in it.
