When the both of the dark ones disappeared after their dispute, many machines would come and commandeer Nidhogg for themselves. They would then take the Death Dragon and fly off with it.

The $hadow Boss of Valparaiso, a Mafia Don known by the name of 'Tycoon,' would rest in a chair at the edge of a pitch black room. The face of the Tycoon could not be seen, and the voice was distorted. A meeting had been ordered for the $yndicate, which was an organization that was formed under one of the highest members of Tycoon's 'Family,' Mister Sir, of whom the $yndicate reported to.

"You don't know who I am, but I know who you are."

That was the first thing explained to the $yndicate, and Mister Sir would be able to vouch for the Tycoon.

"I'm gonna explain this real $imple and clean. I got plans, $ee, and it's all part of this here $yndicate. Play your cards right, and you won't get cut. *flips blade*"

It was unclear whether the threat was to be cut off from the Family, or cut by the blade in the Tycoon's hand, which was the only visible thing seen in the room of complete ambiguity and darkness.

The Silver Surfer, the eternal Herald of Galactus, would appear soon after his master, having traveled the vast expanses of the universe searching for another world for him to consume. "... I have found nothing," he said blandly, standing stationary on his silver surfboard. Upon his return to Galactus, he, too, would notice the energy coming from the Veritas. He remained silent, already aware of what the eternal hungry one sought to do to a rich planet full of life.

"My apologies," he said without actual feeling nor meaning in his voice, merely saying words that would be pleasing to the ear, "I was cast off into the other end of the universe and just got back now. The worlds are barren and would not have much sustenance for you." Whether or not this was true was undetermined, but from the account of the Silver Surfer, the worlds about the universe were exceedingly weak and would not be any type of food for Galactus. Yet, seeing this world that Galactus, himself, had been drawn to even before the Silver Surfer... he hoped that this meant that they could do for themselves. Many worlds had been swallowed by Galactus, even those that posed a reasonable threat to him. Still, their fate was sealed. "... I will prepare the planet for consumption," the Silver Surfer said, shooting through the cosmos toward the Veritas at hyperspeed.

Blue orbs shimmering like stars rested in the area.

When the Veritas, the planet that was being suddenly invaded, sensed something, it would immediately draw its attention to everything that was going on, reading the foreign objects as threats.

"WARNING!" it cried in a voice that only the cosmos, and not anything within the airtight planet within could hear. Yet, it would alert all the other surrounding cosmic beings that something was indeed threatening the Veritas and could pose a threat to them, as well. "Target Sighted." Immediately, the Veritas would defend itself against an invasion, starting with the being that entered its atmosphere.

Suddenly, the Silver Surfer appeared again, manifesting out of a wide gleaming streak of what looked like light shooting through space at the speed of a twinkling star, slowing only to pull in directly in front of Galactus, slowly docking on his surfboard like a ship in a port. "They have been warned," he said to Galactus, "The planet is ripe." Even with the Silver Surfer's own concerns for Galactus, he would not speak on them. It was best to simply allow his master to do as he pleased and not get in his way when he was trying to consume worlds. The Silver Surfer had just gotten back from being knocked away across the universe for being so insolent before. How tired he was of being knocked across the universe for trying to spare a world.

The Light of the blue orbs rested on the target in sight. A dark presence filled the area and an unseen Presence resting behind Galactus. "... The fuck?" the Voice spake out from this Presence, of whose Eyes burned at the sight of someone attempting to consume the Veritas. "Galactus, huh?"A Hand would manifest to cover the Veritas, completely palming it and swiping it away. "Whatcha lookin for, buddy?"

The Eyes grew larger, as did the Presence, as would the Voice as it spake again, "Actually, I Haven't," it would say in reference to Galactus' question, both answering and correcting him at the same time for both questions simultaneously. "But It Sure Does Seem That Way, Doesn't It?" The Eyes passed a glance at the pawn serving this vessel. "Tina?" the Voice called out to the Data that was remnant inside of the Silver Surfer. From just witnessing, acknowledging, knowing and being Aware of the Veritas in general, the pure 9th Restriction Data form of the Veritas could be called and assumed by her in any of the farthest reaches of space, even if the planet, herself, as a physical being, was no longer in the same area. All that remained of the Presence were the Eyes and the Voice, but they would look and speak on as they would whilst the Veritas defended herself, as she knew how to do.

Set :: Oyster"

A different voice spoke immediately out from the unknown once Ty-kun called, almost like a whisper from behind the Silver Surfer, right around his body just outside his present Awareness. Because it was outside of his Awareness when it was actually heard or made Aware to the Silver Surfer, he would already be contained within a perfect invisible barrier. If his Awareness were to be heightened, it would not be able to exceed the perimeter of the barrier.

The Silver Surfer grimaced, that being the first emotion clearly shown on his face. The mention of what Galactus was holding over his head brought him enough intensity of emotion for him to feel something again, and yet, the only feeling he was allowed to feel was pain. His body and mind and heart were cold like metal after being with Galactus for so long, and there were very few that could actually harm the Silver Surfer. He felt no pain. He felt little emotion. And finally, once something was powerful enough to bring the cosmic silver man some sort of emotion, it was only pain. How cruel this eternal life was that was in servitude. Yet, there was nothing else to do except what was commanded. The Surfer had no other will, no other thought and no other ambitions except for keeping his own home world from being consumed and to feed his master.

"Yes," he said, seeing the barrier that was surrounding him, despite its invisibility. With his heightened Awareness of the barrier, he would be able to convert and absorb the energy into himself for his own sustenance, both freeing himself from his imprisonment and confinement as well as bringing forth more energy to the Silver Surfer. Wherever the disembodied voice of OmniShin Tinasanti was, of whom he knew it was through his own analysis of the planet when he first laid eyes on her, the Silver Surfer would know immediately and pinpoint that location, making it part of his Awareness. Wherever she was, the Silver Surfer would streak off in a silver sliver across space, circling around Galactus one time in a nanosecond and send a massive wave of universal energy from under the edge of his board straight toward both she and the other unknown presence. It did not seem like he moved from his spot, yet evidence of his movements were only able to be traced at the speeds that traveled beyond light, only visible in the ripples of space and time, themselves. This universal wave would wash over and erase any matter that it came in contact with.

When the Silver Surfer expanded his Awareness in search of OmniShin Tinasanti, he should have immediately found her to be anywhere and everywhere his Awareness was; as far out as his capability of comprehension, perception and understanding. That is where he would find OmniShin Tinasanti; all around him. "This isn't even my final form," the Voice of OmniShin Tinasanti spoke out again, the waves of her voice itself neutralizing the universal wave with one of her own. However, instead of it pulsating outward into the vastness of space, it was coming inward FROM the vastness of space, as though the universe itself had sent this powerful wave. The two of them would cancel out long before the wave released by the Silver Surfer was able to do any sort of damage to anything, and all the universe would remain unscathed.

"Activate :: Oyster"

Though the Silver Surfer believed he 'converted' and 'absorbed' the energy of the previous technique done by OmniShin Tinasanti, instead, all that he did was absorb the raw Data of the Entry itself; a place holder. Therefore, the only 'Energy' he converted and absorbed was the raw 'Information' that the technique was being done, and nothing more, since there was nothing else there except for Information of what was coming. Now that the Silver Surfer was informed and the full length of his Awareness was being used to locate OmniShin Tinasanti in her size, he would also be trapped and sealed again inside of the 'Oyster' that was now actually actively being used. Once again, his Awareness would be limited and now, both he and his master were trapped inside of the universal sized 'Oyster.'

"Ay, Silver Surfer, you should probably not listen to that guy," the Voice of the unknown Presence still spoke out. Even if everyone was aware of him, no one had acknowledged it, and therefore, did not actually recognize the true form that belonged to the Voice of the unknown Presence. Therefore, it remained a mystery, simply because no one was directly addressing it. "The Eyes Have Seen The Pain Afflicted Upon And Within You. Tell Us; Why Do You Serve This Master?"

The Silver Surfer could see that these beings were strong enough to pose resistance to both he and Galactus and seemed to have no fear of either of them. This made it clear that they were exceedingly powerful, perhaps even on their scale, which would make this task less simple than perhaps Galactus insisted it should be. Still, what else could the Surfer do but comply and obey? "I will do as you command," he monotonously droned again, puzzled at what sort of strength that they actually were capable of. In all of his vast Awareness through light years of space, they were still outside of his perception? This could only mean one thing, and the Silver Surfer knew this. "These beings are like us," he'd say to Galactus, forewarning him of the capabilities of this planet and the beings on this planet. They were not like the other worlds that were consumed, much to the Silver Surfer's surprise. Perhaps this is why he had not come this way, and yet Galactus did. "They have power."

Instead of dealing with OmniShin Tinasanti anymore, and being unconcerned with the large Oyster that was over them, the Silver Surfer would only seek out the planet itself from the one who had taken it. He nigh warped over to where the true body of Ty-kun was, acknowledging it and establishing the Surfer's own set Awareness of the other cosmic being nearby. It may have been a mistake to underestimate their power and simply do anything to them haphazardly. Thus, he would be away from Galactus' side to concern himself with Ty-kun.

"Particle :: Connect."

Now that it was clearly established that both Galactus and the Silver Surfer were within the confines of a barrier of energy created and sustained by the Veritas, the Command System had greater control. Every 'Particle' inside of the universal 'Oyster' would suddenly 'Connect' and bind everything to the Veritas' universe immediately upon Command Input. This meant, no matter where anything here went from this moment on, they would be within the Veritas.

Because the Silver Surfer had previously expanded his own Awareness all throughout the universe in order to locate OmniShin Tinasanti, this allowed for OmniShin Tinasanti to see things as though she were the Silver Surfer, himself, thus allowing her to see his planet once Galactus called it forth before him. "Target Sighted," she droned, herself, locking onto the Silver Surfer's planet the very moment it became visible to her by her own sight and through his.

A cosmic Hand appeared over the exposed planet, palming it the same way as with the Veritas before.

"Absolute Punishment," Ty-kun called out, his Voice booming throughout the cosmos, "Anti." When he Commanded, Ty-kun threw his hands to the side and all of the energy that was under his control all throughout the universe would tear apart violently from around the Silver Surfer and Galactus, and there would not be a scrap of energy of anything left around them. The sheer vacuous force of this would be enough to halt the Silver Surfer in his tracks, if not tear him apart, or at least in one of the two directions that the energy would be parted from. The entire universe of the Veritas was stripped from around the both of them and now, only 'Non-Energy' remained, which was all also part of Ty-kun's control via his 'Absolute Punishment; Anti.' "Every Time You Make A Mistake, I Maximize On It, As Your Punishment." Ty-kun glared at the Silver Surfer, giving him one more chance to back down. "Is That Clear?" Ty-kun wanted to make sure that it was already very clearly understood and that the Silver Surfer was MORE than Cosmically Aware of what Ty-kun was capable of and how much he knew how to do with what he knew and the powers that be both within him and without him.

When the 'Non-Energy' field was set, the Hand would completely disappear. The Silver Surfer would be left here with Galactus, with Ty-kun standing in the Non-Energy. There, only Galactus, the Silver Surfer, Ty-kun and apparently, the Silver Surfer's planet would remain. When everything else was cleared out and the realm was emptied of all its energy, Ty-kun would absorb all of the energy he had just stripped from around the Silver Surfer and Galactus and draw it back into himself to increase his own power. "Ue? Is that the planet?" Ty-kun said rather generally. "Wicked." Extending his hand, which swirled with numerous planets all the way up his arm like an astronomical galaxy flickering like spiraling fire in his palm and seething through the gaps in his fingers, the Silver Surfer's planet would be lost inside of the universe that Ty-kun had in his grasp, completely hidden from Galactus now that he was not only completely outside of the universe itself, but also with there being no actual energy in the air. It was like they were standing in and on a void.
