“I can't thank you enough for what you've done for us, though I am curious as to why you've summoned us all here.” She said, trying again to look under the stranger's cloak.
“All will be revealed shortly.” The stranger replied, lowering his hood to prevent the green skinned beaty from seeing his face as his companion remained in concealed in the shadows.
Raising an eyebrow in curiosity, she joined the other races in the stadium like building as more and more races arrived.
“Are you sure about this?” His companion asked as he stepped from the shadows.
“Yes, I have committed a great many wrongs in my previous lifetime and need to atone for my cri-”
“That's just it, your previous lifetime.” He interrupted. “You can't hold yourself responsible for things you didn't even remember doing until you were eighteen. Your not the same being anymore, your current form is proof of that more then anything else.”
“Nevertheless, it does not matter wich life I live it was still me that did all this.
He waved his hand and a "screen" appeared in front of them, showing an innumerable amount of dead planets with ruins detailing long forgotten and/or extinct races.
“Regardless of who I am now or was, this was still done by me and I must pay for my crimes. If not for me then for all the races I wronged.”
The other cloaked stranger sighed in exasperation as his companion would obviously not be swayed no matter what he said.
The speaker then turned around and entered the stadium-like- building. His companion shook his head one final time before wordlessly following.
Nothing was heard in the empty corridor except for the constant tapping of as the two made their way to the center of the great building. Upon reaching it, the two were seemingly unaffected by the sudden glare from the sun as they stepped from the shadow filled corridor and walked to the center.
Waiting a few moments he spoke up to the many races occupying the seats.
“IF I MAY HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?” His voice boomed through the stadium, amplified by his power. Unaffected as millions of eyes focused on him. “ALLOW ME BEGIN BY EXPRESSING MY GRATTITUDE TO ALL OF YOU FOR COMING HERE ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE, I KNOW YOU ARE ALL BUSY WITH SETTLING INTO YOUR NEW HOMES AND I THANK YOU FOR TAKING PRECIOUS TIME TO ATTEND THIS MEETING. BEFORE WE BEGIN THERE IS SOMETHING I MUST DO.”
He waved his hand and imediately shackles were fastened to his neck, arms and feet, making the gathered races gasp as those particular shackles were only used on the worst sort of criminals in the universe. Throwing the remote control to the woman he talked to earlier, he was interrupted just as he was about to speak.
Speaking through a voice enhancer (though not anywhere near the volume of the person standing in the center) she started speaking with a shocked and incredulous voice.
“Stranger why have you done this? These are to be used only on the most vile of beings. Why do you, who has done so much good, shackle them to yourself?”
“IT WOULD BE BEST IF I EXPLAINED A FEW THINGS FIRST. LONG AGO GODS AND GODDESSES FELL PREY TO BOREDOM BECAUSE OF THEIR INFINITE LIFESPANS, THEREFORE THEY REINCARNATED THEMSELVES TO GAIN NEW VIEWS ON LIFE AND SO RELIEVED THEMSELVES OF THEIR BOREDOM FOR MILLENIA. AT THE AGE OF SIXTEEN HUMAN YEARS MEMORIES WOULD BEGIN TO SURFACE IN THE FORM OF DREAMS AND THEY WOULD COKMPLETELY REGAIN ALL THEIR ABILITY'S AND MEMORIES BY THE TIME THEY REACHED THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN.”
“While fascinating as this may be this still does not explain your actions.”
“THE REASON I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS BECAUSE I TOO HAVE WENT THROUGH THE SAME EXPERIENCE.” He said, ignoring the gasps coming from the attentive audience. “IN THIS LIFE I GREW UP ON THE PLANET EARTH AND WAS KNOW AS RANMA SAOTOME.” He lowered his hood revealing white, glowing hair, spiked upwards and twin glowing voids of white where the eyes should be. “YOU HOWEVER HAVE KNOWN ME IN MY PAST LIFE AS...
...GALACTUS.”
