Nefarious had set coordinates to Corson V, flight was silent and air was filled with melancholy by part of Resari, fallen emperor didn´t really pay attention it. Heck he could most likely explain that he wasn´t in his beloved Polaris anymore but in HIS once he would see Nefarious City except it most likely wasn´t called even that anymore, thanks to those meddling Lombaxes he couldn´t take on back in Igliak because snivelakian didn´t let him.

They flew in the city, Resari looked around, clearly understanding something wasn´t right " This isn´t how I remember Megalopolis being.... it´s... so different. " he muttered, robot looked him, I guess it was time " You are right, that´s because you aren´t in your version of your beloved Galaxy. " he said, Resari flinched, looking him, staring " Wait... what?! What you mean? " he asked, trying to find landing spot " That portal you mentioned... they are called Rifts, they let you travel between dimensions, this is just counterpart of your world. " he explained, Resari looked around more, it did explain then, more or less.

They found landing spot near self-service repair shop, Resari climbed out, still taking in all the info, city was gloomy, Resistance had alot to fix still, Nefarious wondered if all his statues had been taken down already, it was most likely. Snivelakian entered to shop, it was nicely lighten up and there was plenty of tools and item for him to use. Robot removed the ragged cloak, it was only a way during the fixing. Resari picked up quite few tools and items he would need " Alright your... majesty, please sit down so I can reach for your head and face, I want to start with them. " he instructed, Nefarious glared him, term 'majesty' felt more like insult at this point. " If you wish but don´t call me that, I am not ruler anymore. " he growled as he sat down, letting reptilian easy access, just what he could do to fix his damaged face and head, dome surely would need to be replaced.

Hour did Resari work on his head, fixing his face firstly and cleansing it, dome had to been replaced, and he was currently making new one, already proving himself decent mechanic. Robot watched him work, for poor adventurer and whatever else he had skill in repairing and making and yet he chose to explore, funny. Snivelakian was careful when setting new dome in, making sure it fit and it did just like that. Great, now he could focus on rest of body that also had been through alot. Couple more hours passed as he fixed and cleaned rest of him up, making robot look like himself again. He got up, towering Resari easily as always " It is... perfect, thank you Resari, you surely did fullfill your promise. " he said, happy that this reptile had been useful at least one way. Resari smiled nervously " It´s not big deal... I´m decent at best. " he said, he was quite humble toward him, he looked at exist, seeing his ship there, he would be now alone wouldn´t he? Without bolts he couldn´t least pay of the ship to get Megacorp off his back, robot did notice it and did realize what he was thinking " You know, I could help you with your ship. " he said, Resari looked him, blinking " Help? But we already fulfilled our parts of th- " he got cut off " You repaired my body, helping you pay off your ship is least I can do, yes? " he said, leaning down, Resari got nervous, swallowing heavily " Well.. uh.. how you´re gonna do it...? " he asked, robot could only laugh " Simple! Remember that I was the emperor, if we are luckily my personal bolt account is still active, there´s more than enough to pay your ship. " he explained, it made easari smile, giving him hope that he could make it still " Really? Thank you! So.. uh... where we get the access, exactly? " he asked while following robot to outside, Nefarius pointed his old tower far off in distance " You see that tower? It is where my throne room should be, we should be able to access in my account at there. " he explained, Resari nodded, great, they had plan.

Pair made their way through streets, trying to avoid people as much they could, Nefarious had put on his cloak back on just in case. In plaza Nefarious could only confirm that yes, his statue had been taken down, no matter, they needed go to tower, and this time by foot due shuttle wasn´t option, thanks for Resistance. Trip to tower felt like eternity, at least for snivelakian, they were there now, just bit more and they would be in throne room, lucky for them tower wasn´t occupied by anyone. Nefarious entered to throne room first, it was dark, lights had been turned off, he huffed only, going to mainswitch to turn power on while his companion basically dragged himself along and collapsed to chair, his legs felt like wet noodles at this point. Fine, he could rest while he did the hard work now. He joined snivelakian soon, starting to work on getting that ship paid in cold hard bolts for that blasted corporation. Jackpot, it was still there, all of bolts he has been saving, it was still there, he could pay the ship and still be left with cargoloads of bolts. Snivelakian smiled weakly " Thank you Nefarious, you really helped me out of this problem. Sadly I can´t much for return. " he stated, it was pity but not big pity. Nefarious shrugged it off " Whatever, all you must do is find a Rift to go back to your dimension and get just hand over the money for anyone who is related to Megacorp to pay your Star Explorer off. " he said, true, it would get Megacorp off his back but he would still had to deal his own kin. Resari scratched his own cheek, musing for moment until he spoke " Could you.. come with me? For support for both Yeedil and Snivelak? Please, I can try repay it however you pay. " he said, kinda begging, this little reptile was clearly helpless without him. Nefarious groaned before relenting " Alright, alright. But for return I want you to eradicate those Lombaxes you met and their companions aswell. " he said, it was what he wanted for payment such menial thing. Resari nodded, he did say he repay however and he wouldn´t back off or lie. Good, they just need to get to ship, get off this planet and head to Thram´s sector to seek out Rift, hopefully it was still there. Pair started to walk away, not bothering turn off lights.
