The large space station of Kamae's orbited just outside of the gravity of Arcose, the large ball perfectly matching the black space around it. The surface only reflected the light as it silently loomed over everything. The demon was of course in one of his labs, waiting for his sensors to detect Helios on frost. He wondered if the titan would recognize him, probably, his face hadn't changed. But still he was hopeful that his ally was still out there somewhere.
The chambers were ready, the station was self automated and wouldn't require any aid from them. No one else was aboard the ship at the moment as it drifted silently, and the demon couldn't help but smile. All his genetic samples collected, all his equipment, and everything he needed to grow strong. Now he just needed people to train with. He thought of Helios first and accepted him naturally. The girl named May would be a good addition if she stayed put. Moire would also be a very good ally, if they could all learn to work together.
Yet all he could do for now was wait for his ally to show up on the sensors so he could bring his proposal up. He had learned the makaiokin thanks to Liari, and Artic had given him ample knowledge. He had a literal sample of the tree of might and he could create even more potent genetic samples with this. How could he not be overjoyed! He wondered if Helios had been productive and was looking forward to teasing him if the titan was weak still.

Frost both proved invaluable to Halos, as well as extremely distracting for the Titan. On one hand, the wealth of knowledge the planet had was enormous and most of all easily accessible. Technolgy on interstellar travel, computers, weapons, metallurgy and even subjects such as agriculture were vastly superior to anything his home had. It was not hard to see why Halos has gotten lost learning nonstop as his mind devoured every scrap of information, he could get his hands on. The knowledge alone could help him bring the hellions to a golden age never seen before, in fact he was confident with time he might even be able to expand the shell.
On the other hand, this distracted him from his many training goals and while his strength had grown it had not been nearly as much as it should. In fact, his encounter in hell still haunted him, many restless nights filled his time as he struggled without own weakness. More and more often he found him stopping his search for knowledge to wonder off to go train. The giant of the man, moving away from prying eyes as he wondered into the wastes to practice.
It was at the moment he was working on his powers as he hid himself form the causal eye, but not form any scanners or form of energy senses as he trained in the frozen. His new weights were helping is progress, but he should probably upgrade the magic in his clothes further to speed up his training. While the risk to himself during training would increase, so would the reward and his time in hell only proved that he was far behind. Putting off his training any longer was not an option any longer.

The demon was currently within his personal lounge, the demon's eyes scanning over the Countless reports coming in about Liari and Artic. Seneschal and Ramen were being good in keeping track of them. But Seneschal had been quiet the last few weeks, sure he had reports coming in but more so than he liked. He would need to confront his companion about that. It wasn't until the lights dimmed and flickered that the presence of the stations AI was heard, its echoing voice almost booming.
"Target found... Awaiting Sync."
The Ai's voice was inhuman, held no emotion. If it was seeking approval for its job well done, it did not give it away. The demon simply smiled knowing Halos had been found. He wondered how the titan would react to a true display of power. Not a paltry display of physical might but something his friend might appreciate. The hand of Kamae reaching out as if trying to grasp the very Air itself. His psychic energies were vast now compared to their last encounter and with this new ability the demon was able to project itself into the AI's mind thanks to it being Biological. A new form of interface with his space station and much needed for what he planned to use this for. The station would shudder and groan as the machine began to come to life. Unfolding from its bottom were metal legs, landing cranes meant to support this vast moon like structure with the alloy only Kamae had discovered up to this point.
The hulking machine slowly descending into the atmosphere of frost, yet to the eye it would appear as if a black hole had come from the very sky. Its hulking mass easily the size of a mountain and equally impressive to look at... if it wasn't descending like a falling moon. It had no thrusters, no propulsion systems, it was simply falling. The giant behemoth of metal almost seeming to roar as it came racing planet side. Its massive crane like legs almost like mandibles of a hungry insect diving head first into death for its meal.
Yet just before it would land upon Halos, the hulking mass would come to a complete stop. As if some invisible force had stopped it from crashing into Halos' location. The giant space station then would slowly descend until it landed. The massive black surface of the cloaked space station coming to rest with hisses and screams of steel settling. It was as if a mountain had come from the heavens to land before Halos. The demon certainly hoped the titan was impressed.
Normally it would take one ages to navigate such a massive structure... But Kamae was not normal and with but a thought he stopped existing in one spot before coming to exist near Halos. Slipping in and out of creation was growing so easy he could do it with as little as a thought... His green hair covered his face from view but the giant M stamped on his hair was completely visible. His mask of hair though did not hide the glowing serpent eyes under it. His eyes fixing on Halos as he smiled his toothy grin. He had done a lot sense Halos had seen him last, and he was vastly more powerful now. Both in technical might, but also in physical and mental strength.
Where once the demon was just a simple being, it was clear he was becoming something more. The rot gathering at his feet, the black primordial magic that unmade all things, not in a polite and clean manner, but in a ravenous hunger. The smell of a carcass was following Kamae, He was getting closer to a break through in his power, but such a cost was destroying him. A story for another time though, as he held out his arms in greeting.
"It has been to long my friend. I hope you have been... Busy."
Kamae's eyes narrowed as he didn't see any changes in Halos. Was it like him? Did the titan not have the insight of what was happening? Perhaps even the titan needed humbling... That would be discovered in time.
"You and I have an agreement. I will see it begin its first steps. We need strength, I need an ally who can withstand my might and not break like a doll. I wish to test my metal against you and yours against mine. Not in a short little battle... But I wish for us to go into deep space, away from distractions. No more goals, no more planning for the future."
Kamae paused as he let his words sink in. He wasn't giving Halos a say in the matter here, he was growing stronger with or without his Ally. If his ally failed to keep up, he would not hesitate to turn him into fodder for the Akshaya Vata.
"No distractions. We will go into a gravity chamber, and there we will fight. Like wolves trapped in a cage, I will tear at your flesh Halos and we will grow stronger... or die. Either one will happen really at this point."
His voice was ethereal now, almost unnatural but held the familiar tune of a mortal beneath it all. He was getting there, slowly if not surely. His Evolution should be an insult to Halos' and he was challenging his ally to not disappoint him here. Would he fly at the proposition? He was curious.

To say he saw the craft first would have been a lie, eyes closed as he focused on the brewing his little storm that it was not the visage of the ship that caught his attention. It was the sheer lack of light hitting his eyes suddenly, the change in the atmosphere against his skin that first alerted him. It was only when he opened his eyes to figure out what he was sensing that he understood the scale of the phenomenon happening, his eyes growing wide as he tried to understand the mountain sized shape rapidly approaching him and the world itself.
His mind raced to come up with an explanation for its sudden appearance, an invasion of frost, an asteroid he had so recently read about, or perhaps it was something else entirely. His mind raced as he one by one slashed each idea after idea till only an invasion or something else was left. However, as it got closer Halos was able to make out its abnormal nature and insect appearance before he started to think of counter masters. His hand tingled for a moment as he focused his power there for a moment, ready to attack the ship before quickly realized he did not have enough time destroy the ship before it crashed into him. With no other option he realized he would need to teleport back to hell, back to where he had been soundly defeated by that Majin. He hesitated for a moment, but that moment was all it took to realize the massive craft was starting to slow its decent, its velocity waning until it made a full stop.
Thoughts forgotten the giant was simply perplexed at why this massive ship was here, and more importantly why it had stopped at what seemed to be just over his location. It was possible for it to be a coincidence, but his gut told him otherwise. No, it was here for him, in the middle of the wastes away from the cites, each moment made him more certain of it. Was it that the gods finally found him? This massive monster of a craft could have been what they used to kill his father, but no that was not it. He had been fairly quiet as far as the galactic stage was concerned, even if after all this time the remembered it was unlikely, that they had found him.
Any further musing was dispelled with Kamae of all people appeared form thin air, his sudden appearance making him bring his hands up for a fight as he looked the figure over. Despite it being very much Kamae of all people, it took him a moment to put two and two together. It was a factor of many things, his change of clothes being entirely different fashion then his old set, his face partially hidden and perhaps the fact he had never seen him without his hair down confused him for a moment. However once Halos locked his eyes on the strangers mouth he knew who this stranger was, the cracked smile being a dead giveaway as he muttered the name "Kamae..." Letting relief wash over his features he placed his hands down and listened to his ...friend's introduction. There was without a doubt something different about him, he was more than he was when he had last seen him. Like Halos he had grown, however unlike Halos Kamae had used him time correctly while he had squandered his in a library so he could learn how to make mere trinkets. Irritation bit at him for a moment as he tossed over Kamae's words for a moment, his mind torn at what to do.
Part of him wanted to tell Kamae he would gain strength on his own, however he had already failed at that very task. His hand moving up to cover his entire face for a moment as he let out a long sigh, the tension filling his body as it started to shake slightly at joke only, he had heard.
"First my sister, next that foolish creature we met in hell and now you. How inept must I be in your eyes now" he muttered to himself as he turned the massive ship again, his eyes staring at it even as they seemed lost in thought. It took a moment, but he finally turned back to him as his eyes seemed to come alive again.
"Lets us go, it is as you said. We....no I must grow strong, or I must die for my weakness".

Kamae would smile at his friends words, knowing them to be true but he would see for himself. The Demon turned on the spot before the large station would open its doors, the hanger was open wide for them to easily jump into. He had of course not build stairs to WALK into the SPACE station that had currently landed upon the planet to pick Halos up. With but a slight bend in his knees, the ground beneath Kamae would crack and shatter before he leaped into the air, up and over the edge. But as he flipped he couldn't help but smirk at his friend, knowing he had gotten the upper hand in their relationship.
He landed in the hanger with grace before waiting patiently for his friend to arrive. Assuming he was true in his words, but Kamae held a fondness in his heart for Halos. That same look of defeat had happened to him, and it was only going to get worse. Kamae's beatings and subsequent subjugation would be avoided for Halos. Kamae would shelter Halos from Liari if it was the last thing he did. No longer did Kamae feel the divine spark within him, now he felt hallow.
The demon lead Halos further into the hanger, and while they walked, he could not help but smile. He... didn't have many friends. He didn't get to show people the wonderous things he builds... He felt a little subconscious about his creations for a moment. His grand hanger was only really useful for guests.... He didn't need ships as he could just, slip in and out of space. So this whole station was only so he could be at peace here. No Liari, No Artic, nothing. Just... silence.
But that could only sustain a healthy mind so long... er well as healthy as one could be.
"This was only made recently, there will be... problems. I've never build an space station before, but I can make corrections as needs be."
Kamae chuckled as he held out his hand, the very metal of the station morphed before flowing to his fingers like living liquid. His hands then shaped the metal into wood, and the wood began to grow into a tree in his palm. Though not massive, it was without a doubt a tree. The demon then let the tree turn to sand and fall to the ground once more. This was all to reveal the demon's magic had gone beyond simple transforming things, he was changing matter on level most mages would blush at. Kamae had unraveled the mysterious of the creation magics and with the aid of the rot, he was able to twist his desires upon the very world about him.
"I've been through a lot... but its not enough. So now... Now we will train."
Kamae traveled with Halos to the training room, guiding his friend to the massive arena that would be their home for a while. It was easily two hundred yards of empty space lined with plated metal of an alloy only Kamae knew how to make. As durable as Steel, having the longevity as well to withstand their blasts. Kamae had constructed the arena to fit their needs, and on the far wall from them was a door. The door having a sign stating "Medical Station" for the future.
"What do you think of this arena? I am afraid to make it bigger would... be difficult. The machine cannot handle more than this much space."
He hoped Halos found it to his liking but, Kamae suspected a divine being would either be impressed or disappointed.
