*Earth – On the Plane*
I was sitting in my seat in the back of the plane thinking about the mission that we just completed. It must have been because of the adrenaline and the recent bombing that I went through that I was semi-calm, but now I can’t keep my hands from shaking. I keep seeing the faces of the guys I shot in the cars on the way back. I could see the fear on their face when the cars flipped over and exploded in front of them.
Some of them wore calm expressions and some even had grins as they died, but there were still some that were scared. The image of the little girl and the elderly couple appeared in my head. The look of absolute dread on their faces was bored into my brain. I put my head in my hands and tried to think of happier things.
No matter how I tried though, I couldn’t get rid of the guilt from killing. I took a life easily; it was like snapping my fingers. I pulled the trigger on the unsuspecting ones in the camp like it was a water gun. I had no hesitation in my heart at that time, hell I even seemed to enjoy it. I was even laughing in the car during the chase. I was laughing as I took a human life, what the hell is wrong with me?
An overwhelming sense of anger reared its head inside of me. I felt my chest grow heavy and a pain attacked me in the head. I stood up and roared; I swung my arm towards the wall of the plane and punched it multiple times. I started laughing while I was punching the wall. My vision was growing hazy and I couldn’t hear anything besides my own heartbeat.
*Violetta’s POV*
I was sitting up front with the pilot of the plane letting Caelum rest. I know that we changed his legal name, but for some reason I like the name Caelum. I decided to call him that when it was just the two of us. All of a sudden there was a voice, “So did the mission go smoothly?” I looked over at the owner of the voice. It was the pilot that Caelum was getting along with recently. I shrugged my shoulders, “I guess you could say that. We weren’t injured so that’s a plus. Although I don’t know if his mental state is okay right now.”
The pilot raised his eyebrow at me, “What do you mean?” I looked over towards him, “He witnessed a child bombing first hand. He even got hit by the concussive force of the blast.” The pilot wore a shocked expression on his face before it turned somber, “That has to suck. I have seen videos online of them and even then it hurt to watch, but I can’t imagine what it would be like to witness one in person.” I nodded my head, “Yeah, I hope he doesn’t take it too hard. I honestly wish there was something I could do for him.”
He sighed before speaking, “Unfortunately all you can do is be there if he needs you.” I nodded my head, “Yeah.” After a few minutes of silence he spoke up again, “So how exactly did he conquer the “Unconquerable” Violet Death?” He was grinning as he looked at me. I smiled faintly and looked out the window, “Wouldn’t you like to know.”
He laughed, “That would be why I asked.” I looked back at him and raised an eyebrow, “What, you want to give it a shot?” He gave me a quick up down before speaking; “I would be lying if I said I didn’t” I laughed and then looked back out the window, “I wouldn’t let him hear you say that.” He raised his eyebrow again, “And why is that?” I was about to answer when we heard a roar and then the plane violently shook.

He held tightly onto the joystick, “What the fuck is that?” The roaring was continuing for a second along with the shaking. I looked towards the back of the plane, “Oh no.” Before he could ask another question I was already out of the cockpit and headed towards the cargo bay. I opened the door and saw him.
He was punching the wall and laughing like a maniac. His eyes were pitch black and there were tears of blood running from them. He kept punching the wall over and over again laughing like he was crazy. There was a black haze around the top of his head and a bright white glow coming from his heart.
The haze and the glow were meeting somewhere around his throat and they would colliding with each other. When I saw this I could help but curse, “Fuck.” I knew what was happening to him. The power that my brother had was one of pure evil and darkness, while the power from that bastard was pure goodness and light. These two powers where not meant to coexist in one body.
He must have been feeling guilty from the mission and the bombing causing the light power in him to activate in order to make him feel better. The power from my brother probably took this as a threat to its existence and started to make a move. I rushed forward and grabbed his arm trying to stop him. When I grabbed a hold of his arm I was shocked at how strong he was.
The planet of Earth has a limiter placed on it by some supreme existence and nobody is able to use more power than a planetary fighter. Even I can only use up to a planetary fighter’s strength. This is enough to bend steal and lift cars above my head, but I can’t even stop him from moving his arm. How can he use so much power!? The only one that can use more power than that is my mom and that’s only because she is the overseer of the solar system.
I tried wrapping my arms around his body and screaming at him, “Caelum stop!” I could feel his body shudder a bit, but he didn’t stop punching. Luckily the plane had multiple layers of steal and a couple layers of a metal not from Earth on its exterior or there would be a hole in the wall. I moved my face to his ear, “Stop dear, everything is okay now.” I tried to calm him down as gently as I could. His body shuddered again and he slowly put his arm down.
He just stood there breathing like he had run a marathon, twice. The door to the cargo bay opened and the pilot came inside, “What happened?” When he spoke I felt Caelum’s body shudder and then her roared before trying to rush the pilot. I squeezed him as hard as I could and planted my feet, but I was slowly being dragged across the ground. I looked at the pilot, “Shut the door and don’t come in here!” He was frozen in fear at Caelum’s expression. It was one of pure rage and agony. The tears of blood started to flow again and it slowly dripped onto the floor. I looked back at the pilot again, “Move dammit!”
The second time I yelled he snapped back to reality and left the cargo bay, locking it behind him. Caelum stopped moving towards the door and I could hear a deep growl coming from his throat. I let go of him and stepped back some. He slowly turned his body and stared at me. I couldn’t see anything in his eyes; they were like a deep black void that wanted to suck my soul in.

I continued to back up until I hit the wall; he just stood there staring at me with those lifeless eyes. All of a sudden he disappeared from my view and then reappeared in front of me. It was only a dozen feet or so, but he was able to teleport. Only System Lords or above are able to teleport!
The universes have a power ranking system that has been in effect for billions of years. Planetary Soldiers are the weakest fighters, while Universal Fighters are the highest. There are rumors of a power above the Universal Powers, but no one has seen them yet. There are actually quite a few ranks; they go Planetary Soldiers, Planetary Fighters, Planetary Generals, System Soldiers, System Fighters, System Lords, Galactic Soldiers, Galactic Fighters, Galactic Kings, and Universal Powers.
It’s a pretty simple ranking system, but the higher one is in this ranking the more they are respected and feared. My brother and that bastard used to be the Universal Powers for this universe and they had been fighting for a long time to see who would represent the universe. Each universe has a representative Universal Power that fights to protect their universe and to conquer other universes.
The amount of power that he showed earlier is only at the Planetary General level, but why is he able to teleport like a System Lord? His lifeless eyes were right in front of mine and they were staring straight at me. I felt like he was trying to see into my very soul. All of a sudden he pushed his mouth onto mine.
Shock ran through my body, why is he kissing me? Why does it feel so much different from before? Normally when we kiss I can feel some butterflies in my stomach, but this is different. It feels like there is a bolt of lightning running through my core. He was trying to push his tongue into my mouth and I allowed it in. It was exploring my entire mouth like it was the best delicacy he ever had.
I felt all the strength in my body leave at this time and I slumped towards the floor. Caelum was holding me in his arms so I was guided down. His lips never left mine and when we were lying on the floor he ripped my clothes off. I lay there naked in front of him and I felt embarrassed for some reason. They lifeless eyes that he had were gone and replaced with a look of desire. I saw that the power in his heart was no longer fighting with the power from his head. The bright glow was enclosing his mind while the black haze was making its way to his groin.
When I traced the black haze downwards I saw that his dick was pushing up against his pants and it looked like it hurt. In the next few seconds he had ripped his clothes off and it was standing up proud. He aligned himself and I didn’t have time to say anything before he shoved himself inside of me. I released a scream of pleasure and clawed on his back trying to hold on to something.
He kept thrusting in and out at an extreme pace and the pleasure was becoming unbearable. I felt a burst of pleasure with every single thrust. This went on for a few minute before I couldn’t bear it and I had an orgasm. I screamed in pleasure and slumped back down. He didn’t stop his piston and just kept thrusting in and out.
This went on for another hour and I had around five orgasms before he finally thrust inside of me one final time. I felt warmness shoot inside of me with unimaginable force and it caused me to orgasm again. He continued to shoot it out for a couple of minutes before he collapsed on top of me. A few minutes later I finally had the strength to move my arm. I laid there underneath him and rubbed my hand through his hair. There was a warm feeling in my heart when I looked at his sleeping face.
*Caelum’s POV*
I couldn’t see anything around me, there was nothing but darkness. I tried saying something, but I couldn’t even hear the sound of my own voice. I started to walk in a random direction and after what seemed like hours I started to run. I had been running for so long without seeing anything. After running for what seemed like days I finally collapsed on the ground. The world was still black, but I finally heard something.
There was a beautiful voice speaking to me from somewhere, “Caelum, don’t give up. Keep fighting.” I don’t know who was speaking, but she was right. I can’t just give up; I need to find a way out of here. I have to get back to Violetta. When I thought about her I thought I saw her appear. She was standing off in the distance with a smile on her face waving.
I smiled and then struggled to stand. I walked over to her and she grabbed my hand. As soon as she did I felt refreshed. It was like I had never run all that distance before. She smiled at me and then pulled me along. She was smiling and laughing while we ran and after a while I saw a light in the distance.
When we arrived at the light I had to shield my eyes from the brightness. I found myself in an open field full of flowers. I looked around at the beautiful view in front of me. I smiled and then looked at Violetta. Shock ran through my heart when I saw that she wasn’t holding my hand anymore. I looked around and saw a black hole behind me. I saw her standing in the entrance to the hole. She was smiling at me and had a tear coming down her cheek.
I tried saying something, but I couldn’t make a sound. All of a sudden there was a pair of eyes next to her in the darkness. It was looking at me with a look of disgust, like I was a cockroach or something. The darkness beneath the eyes split open and there was a mouth full of sharp teeth grinning. The mouth opened and I heard an evil laugh before I saw tendrils of darkness wrap around Violetta and start to pull her back.
I rushed towards the darkness trying to scream her name, but no sounds were coming out. When I made it close to the hole I saw her smile one last time before the hole closed right in front of me. I landed on my knees where the hole used to be and soundlessly screamed to the sky. I could feel tears stream down my face. I kneeled there screaming towards the heavens and feeling like an insect.
After a few minutes of screaming the flower field disappeared and I was staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. I sat up and shouted, “Violetta!” Before I was able to move arms wrapped around me from behind. A familiar and welcomed voice hit my ears, “I am right here.” I grabbed onto the arms that were wrapped around me and turned my head to look. I saw her face resting on my shoulder and a wave of relief rushed through me.
I leaned back into her body and breathed a sigh of relief. She started to run her fingers through my hair and I felt like I was in heaven. My mood darkened when I thought about what I had seen in that dream. I sat up and then turned around and looked at her. She was sitting there smiling at me. I etched that smile into my memories so I would never forget it.
I finally spoke up, “What happened?” The smile on her face disappeared and she looked towards the ground. I moved closer, “Tell me what happened, please.” She looked up at me and I could see the concern in her eyes. She quietly spoke, “Your powers collided.” It felt like a bucket of cold water had been splashed on me, “Powers?” She weakly nodded her head, “Yeah.” I grabbed my head and then looked away.
What the hell is she talking about, what powers? I looked at her, “What do you mean my powers?” She looked at the ground again and it was like she was trying to find the right words to say. The door on the other side of the room opened and I saw the owner of the company walk in. She spoke as soon as she walked in the room, “I can explain it for you.” She walked over and her ample breasts were bouncing a little with each step.
The scar across her eye was gone and there wasn’t a single blemish there. Her face was every bit as beautiful and flawless as Violetta’s. She sat down in a chair next to the table on the other side of the room. When she sat down a bottle of whisky and a glass appeared out of nowhere. My eyes widened and shock ran through my being. Where the hell did the whisky come from? How the hell did it just appear out of nowhere?
She noticed my shocked expression, but she didn’t say anything. She poured herself a cup and then took a sip. She rolled the drink around the cup and then looked at me, “You really want to know don’t you?” I slowly nodded my head, “Yeah.” She showed me a ring on her index finger, “It’s called a space ring. It a room the size of a football field inside of it that can hold anything that isn’t alive in it.” I don’t know if my eyes could widen any more while staring at the ring.
She pointed at Violetta, “My daughter has one sort of like mine, but hers is a bracelet version.” I looked over at Violetta and saw the bracelet that she always wore on her right wrist. I nodded my head and then my mind went blank for a split second. I quickly turned towards the owner, “Wait, daughter!?”
She laughed before taking another drink, “Yes, Violetta is my daughter. I heard that you have been taking very could care of her by the way.” She winked at that comment and I could feel my face heat up. I looked over towards Violetta and I could see that her face was as red as a tomato. I coughed and then looked at the owner, “So what is all this business about powers?”
She threw her head back and downed the whisky in the glass before speaking, “You have inherited the powers of my son and some other bastard. I just kept getting more and more shocked with what I was hearing. I furrowed my brows at her, “What kind of powers are those then?” She filled up another glass before speaking again, “You have two completely opposite powers inside of you. One is a power of complete evil and darkness from my son and the other is a power of complete goodness and light from that bastard.”
Who is this bastard that they keep talking about? She continued speaking to me, “Now, my son’s power may be completely evil, but that doesn’t mean that its user has to be evil. My son was probably one of the nicest souls you could ever meet. While that bastard was one of the cruelest people in the universe. When she said that the glass in her hands shattered and there was a burst of air from her body. Cracks spread across the floor and walls from where she was sitting.
Her hair was fluttering and I could see her eyes turn dark. I scooted back a little out of instinct and I felt a pair of arms wrap around me again. I saw that Violetta was trying to comfort me and it made my heart warm. The owner seemed to calm down and her eyes turned back to normal. She downed a few glasses of the whisky before speaking again, “Sorry about that. Every time I think about that bastard I can’t keep my anger in check.”
I could see the hurt in her eyes so I nodded, “It’s okay. He must have hurt you deeply when he killed your son.” She looked at me and snorted a little, “He didn’t kill my son. He did kill my husband though, which is what started my sons quest for power.” I widened my eyes a little, “Then who killed your son?”
She shuddered a bit before she spoke, “A being of unfathomable power. I can still see her figure to this day.” I didn’t say anything and she continued to speak, “I was watching my son and that bastard fighting through a view port and she appeared out of nowhere. She told them some things that I couldn’t hear and then with basically a wave of her finger that bastard was snuffed out. She had no emotions on her face when she killed him either. After she killed him she killed my son shortly after.”
She picked up the bottle of whisky and chugged it before speaking again, “What kind of strength does someone have to have in order to kill a Universal Power such as my son. It was like she was swatting a fly or something.” I finally spoke, “So how does this lead me to inheriting your son’s power?” She looked at me, “It’s because that being put his power inside of your mind and that bastard’s power inside of your heart.”
Another wave of shock ran through my body again I couldn’t seem to think straight. I have powers of complete evil and goodness inside of my body? She seemed to notice the shock I had and she spoke again, “Now that you know, what do you want to do?” I furrowed my brows and looked at her, “What do you mean?”
She looked me straight in the eyes, “Do you want to accept this power and fight or do you want me to seal it so it doesn’t grow stronger?” I stiffened up and had numerous thoughts run through my brain at the same time. If I sealed the power I wouldn’t have to worry about the black outs anymore. The image of Violetta being pulled into the darkness and my absolute powerlessness to stop it flashed through my head. I couldn’t think of anything other than that moment and the darkness surrounding her. My vision went dark shortly after she disappeared.
*The Owner’s POV*
He stiffened up and seemed like he was thinking about something for a minute. He was quiet for a good ten minutes before scarlet red tears ran down his cheek. I was shocked at the sight of the blood tears. Usually someone only sheds tears of blood in extreme heartache. When he looked up at me again his eyes were pitch black and I could feel an unfathomable power radiating from them. His eyes reminded me of the ones from the being that killed Xavier.
When he spoke it caused me to tremble. His words were simple, but they were filled with power, “I will fight.” I couldn’t stop trembling when he spoke and I could feel myself get wet. I was shocked from the fact that I was getting turned on from the amount of power he was showing. I could feel his power vibrating through my body and it brought a moan from me.
I looked over and saw that Violetta was having it worse than I was. She was lying back on the bed and convulsing. I could see that there was a wet stain between her legs and she was moaning quietly as well. My lineage has always been one that reacts in this way to power. The more powerful a being of the opposite sex is the more turned on we get.
My husband was a Galactic King and he could make me wetter than an ocean when he fought. I have never met a being powerful enough to make me wet just from speaking. I looked at Caelum and shivered in pleasure. Is this the side effect of combining his two powers? Just how strong is he going to be in the future? I smiled and then glanced at Violetta again. You need to hold on to him tightly my daughter, otherwise I may just snatch him for myself.
