The King With Violet (06-13-2022)

== Purple Storm- Jericho, CMLT-919 [06/13/2022 A.D.] ==
Here Lies Fate meditates in the Dominion barracks. She searched the Absolute Fate and across time for changes in anything. That’s when the space around her grows dark, almost an empty void. She has a confused look on her face. The void then turns into a shade of purple. Fate searches closer into the purple splotch in space. She then witnesses a large planet emerging from the void. The size of it is almost the same as Saturn. It matches the shade of the dark purple void and the surface of the terrestrial body is full of swirling and constantly moving land masses. 
The planet is then followed closely by a presence larger than the planet itself. It towers over the ever-moving celestial body, with its limbs pointing forward and wriggling as if to escape the void. Its body mass is full of constantly moving parts and gives an awful sound that’s both alien and familiar. It opens its massive eyes and looks beyond its planet. And it looks directly at Grail. It then seemingly looks at Fate, and through her head she hears and sees the words, “Ready gn'th'bthnkor shag llll uh'eog llll n'ghftorog” The space around her then closes. She looks around with her eyes still closed, and could only utter, “This may be a problem”. She looks at her wrist watch and says, “Eden, could you please contact the Precocious Squadron…and the High One.” Eden’s avatar appears out of the watch and says, “You gotcha. Pinging them now.” Fate then awaits the meeting
== The Plan- Jericho, CMLT-919 [06/13/2022 A.D.] ==
The Precocious Squadron sit encircling Fate, waiting for her to brief them on the situation. The Seraph watches from Imperialist’s watch. Fate starts, “I have discovered a being that has infiltrated the walls of this universe. It looks like it has brought its followers too. Fate then begins to float and transports everyone into her space-time domain. She has everyone observe the purple splotch in the walls of space. The large planet is still emerging from the gap, with the being following close behind it. Its eyes dart around, getting a feel of its surroundings. It then looks at Fate again, and notices there are others also watching it. Through all of their heads, they hear and see the words, “Ready gn'th'bthnkor shag llll uh'eog llll n'ghftorog”. But this time it’s louder and more guttural. As if the beings on the planet are also chanting the words with their master. The chorus gets louder and more frequent until Fate eventually closes the domain.
“Holy fuck,” Bloodlcaute says as she feels her face. Volume 0 pants and looks around the room. Virulentus looks at Imperialist and Hellscream with worry. “What was it saying?” she asks, to which Imperialist responds with, “Ready the red carpet for the King With Violet.” Hellscream nods in confirmation. The Seraph sighs and gets up from his chair and asks, “Think I should take care of it?” Fate moves her head towards the Seraph and assures, “It’s alright, Your Sublimity. We’ll be able to handle this.” The rest of the Precocious Squadron agree with Fate’s statement. Volume 0 speaks up, “Should we let the CACG know about this?” Bloodclaute weighs in, “It depends on how far away the threat is from Grail.”
“Fate, do you know exactly where the being was?”
Fate nods and answers, “The very edge of this universe. It will take some time to reach Grail.” Virulentus comments, “Judging by its speed it’s not going to be even close for a very long time. But we should do something before it even makes a fourth of the way here.” 
Imperialist’s watch chimes again and holograms of Dr. Kam and Bellona appear next to Seraph. “We were here when everyone was transported via Fate’s domain. In most of what we saw, we observed a few things,” Dr. Kam starts. He then brings up the large planet on the screen in Fate’s room with a diagram. “So what we did notice is that the being behind the planet is not pushing it at all. It is simply following it.” 
Bellona adds as the diagram adds more details, “That’s not all, the planet should be orbiting the being seeing that it has a larger mass than the planet. But we notice that the planet is moving directly forward with no sign of gravitational pull. Meaning that the planet is autonomous. It moves by itself, ignoring every law of gravity known. It’s also looking like it’s moving at 7,300 kilometers per second. If we assume it doesn’t speed up or slow down the planet will reach Grail in approximately one to two weeks.”
Hellscream chimes in, “Then let’s get some of the Dominion and reach them before they can send any baddies out to our friends yeah?” Imperialist agrees and says, “The Nazareth and the fleet will be able to reach the planet in a few days if we go immediately.” Bellona looks at the Seraph and he looks back. She nods and Seraph approves, “Do what you gotta do guys. Don’t die on me, we still got to beat your ass in Telecruisers.” Hellscream sneers, “You mean get your ass in Telecruisers. We’re godly, and younger so ha.”
“We’ll see. Alright guys, good luck.” 
Seraph, Kam, and Bellona all end the connection. Imperialist looks at everyone and takes a deep breath. Fate smiles and asks, “Think this’ll be a challenge Bria?” Imperialist chuckles and responds, “Probably. Though I don’t think It’ll be that bad.” Fate chuckles as well and stands up. She picks up her spear and taps the blunt end to the ground twice. “I will enlist some of the Dominion and ready the ships. You all may go ahead and get the Nazareth ready.” The group all wish each other well and leave the barracks. The Precocious Squadron enter the Nazareth and put in the coordinates Bellona and Dr. Kam sent them. Hellscream says as he fastens his seat belt, “I never thought I’d fight a big scary tentacle monster…..that sounds weird.” Virulentus agrees, “Very weird. Don’t ever describe it like that again.”
“How about…giant wiggly noodle guy?”
“Nope.”
“Massive-”
“Stop right there.”
“....Hentai mannnnn.”
“Ew STOP.”
Virulentus gives Hellscream a noogie and punches his arm. He giggles and starts up the ship. “Think it’ll be weird to the CACG seeing a bunch of ships move out into deep space?”
Bloodclaute responds, “Nah, it’ll be fine. If they ask, we’ll just say we had to take care of something. Which we do. So it’s not a lie. We don’t wanna scare them.”
“True. By the time we get back and they ask everything will be prevented. Cool cool cool. Waiting for a signal from Aaliyah.”
The Squadron buckle up and wait for Fate’s ping, to which she does while hovering over the Barracks. Multiple ships follow after Fate’s ship and head into space with Nazareth following closely after. A fleet of 300 fighter ships and 3 Frigates exit Jericho’s atmosphere, towards the new Cosmic entity that threatens the safety of Grail, and even the Seraphim.
== The Red Carpet- Deep Space, CMLT-919 [06/19/2022 A.D.] ==
The Seraphim had reached the intersection with the pathway of the planet, with the horror not far behind it. Hellscream puts the ship in hover and connects to Here Lies Fate’s frigate ship. Hellscream says through the radio, “So what do we go for first? The gigantic moving ball, or the overgrown Cup Ramen?” Fate responds through the comms,”I recommend having a few battalions protect the frigates and attack outside the atmosphere. Maybe you can find a way to stop the movement of the planet on the surface. It seems the creature only follows the planet.” 
“Gotcha. We’ll touch down on the sphere and see what we can find.”
“Good luck.”
“We always have it!”
Hellscream puts the ship back into flight mode and jettisons towards the planet at extreme speed. As soon as he enters the atmosphere he slowly moves into hover mode over the land. He says, “Hey Eden, can you scan for anything that would normally not be on a celestial body?” Eden responds, “Got it, there’s a strange reading near the North West of here. It seems to be…pulsing? Gross. Anyways there’s a dense amount of organics near the pulsating thingamajig so, I’m guessing they’re guarding it. I put the ping on your radar, Yarad.”
“Thaaaank you. Time to find this weird moving thingy.” Hellscream slowly moves the ship towards the waypoint Eden placed. He then lands nearby and lets everyone out before exiting as well. The terrain is mostly earth-like, save for the purple hue and the only light being from the gigantic eyes of the entity behind it. Hellscream feels a drop on his arm and whines, “That better be water rain and not noodle alien juice rain.” Virulentus responds, “Well water can only cycle if there’s evaporation and there’s no real source of heat sooo-”
“Not listening la la la la la.”
“Maybe some of this will be good for making new poisons…”
“Please please PLEASE tell me you’re not about to drink alien juice.”
“My skin will absorb it.”
“Oh thank god.”
Volume 0 looks to the horizon and sees what she first thought was grass, but is really a huge crowd of humanoid beings. She says to the others, “Ew. Guys I found the thing.” The rest look to where Volume 0 is and see what looks to be a large organ pulsating and moving the creatures around it. They then see the organ inflate and make a loud noise. Some creatures in reaction begin to howl and scream. Bloodclaute looks down at them and comments, “They look like they’re still…conscious.” Imperialist looks at Bloodclaute then at the creatures. One of them is heard shouting “Kill me”. Imperialist closes her eyes and says, “They’re in pain. This planet wasn’t always like this. It was that thing.”
“Then we will put them out of their misery. It’s the best thing to do.”
The Squadron all nod in agreement. As they’re about to walk down towards the organ, it inflates again and makes a menacing shrill. The Squadron hears screaming and yelling behind them. They turn and see a large group of the creatures running towards them. Volume 0 steps in front of them and gives a hearty scream. The shockwaves of the scream hit many of the creatures in front and they fall to the ground completely silent. Many struggle to get up but then grab at their bodies and throats and eventually stop moving. The creatures behind the fallen ones trample them and keep charging towards the Squadron. Virulentus runs towards Volume 0 and shouts, “Cassy! LAUNCH ME!” Volume 0 responds, “'Kay!” and lowers her body. Virulentus runs up on her back and she launches Virulentus forward high in the air. Virulentus gives a single wave of her hand a collection of gasses and liquids covering a large portion of the incoming horde. Virulentus says in midair, “Bri!” Imperialist lobs a fireball towards the creatures. The ball makes contact with the gasses and causes a chain explosion across the landscape. Viscera and foreign liquids splash onto Bloodclaute as she walks towards what’s left of the assaulters. She looks at the liquids and then smiles. The liquids float off her body and form blades behind her and beside her. The remaining half-zombies look at Bloodclaute and roar to try and intimidate her, but she doesn’t budge. In fact, she giggles and flicks her finger. The blades point towards them and fly towards them at high speeds. One by one they’re impaled, sliced, and diced by blades made of their blood. Some shriek in death while one looks at Virulentus as she lands. She looks at the surviving creature in curiosity. The creature with its dying breath says to her, “Thank you.” Virulentus gives a soft smile and says to it, “May Hades give you paradise.” 
The Squadron checks to see if any are left and turn back to the organ, which has swelled seven times it originally was. Volume 0 asks, “I’m assuming that’s not good?” Hellscream comments, “Nah, probs not.” The organ seemingly spouts a coded message and the group witnesses hundreds of damaged and worn out ships rise from the surface of the planet. They face towards the Seraphim fleet and begin to fly towards them. Hellscream contacts Fate with his watch and warns, “Aaliyah! They’re sending ships to you guys. Be ready!”
Fate stands at the bridge and hears Hellscream’s message. She responds, “Thank you Yarad. We will take care of them. She taps her spear onto the floor three times and the fleet immediately moves into action. Hundreds of Seraphim ships move from their spot and begin firing upon the desecrated ships that approach. The spatial battle intensifies as more and more infected ships reach the fleet. The entire air space becomes a warzone. Explosions are seen from the surface as the Squadron thinks about how to reach the organ.
Fate watches and listens to communications until she hears from one pilot, “Domination, a big one is coming!” She looks to her right and sees what would seem to be a capital ship looming towards them. Fate says, “Eden, can you scan the ship and see if it’s still running?” Eden responds within seconds, reporting, “The ship is still running on an engine. The main power source is listed on this holographic map.” A projection of a 3d model of the ship pops up in front of Fate showing a red area in the ship. Fate speaks to the Frigate operator, “Get us as close to the capital ship as you can. And under it, if you will.” The operator responds with a “Yes Domination” and relays the info to the other operators across the ship. She then gives a mass communication saying, “Please try to protect this ship as it moves towards the bogey.” Most, if not all pilots respond with, “Yes Domination”. The pilots pick off what’s left of the onslaught of half-dead ships and turn their attention towards the capital ship. The ship fires multiple shots from its cannons to which the ships evade and disable. 
The frigate gets close to the capital ship and Fate tells the operators, “Here is fine.” She then walks out of the bridge and walks to the nearest exit. She creates a domain around herself and exits the ship. She jumps and stands on top of the bridge window and looks up. The underside of the ship is covered in flesh and viscera as well as other unknown elements. She opens her available eye and readies her spear. She gets ready to throw it and imbues it with a holy light. The spear also becomes surrounded by sharpened metal from the debris of the destroyed ships. She throws it and the spear turns into a beam of light as it pierces through the entire ship, followed by a torrent of metal that follows after it.. Within an instant the ship begins to implode on itself and explosions are seen along its underside. It slowly breaks apart and the smoke is seen from the surface. 
== Clean-Up- Deep Space, CMLT-919 [06/19/2022 A.D.] ==
Hellscream watches and his eyes widen. “I got it!” He shouts as he runs towards the edge of the hill where he can see the mass surrounding the organ. Virulentus asks, “What is it, Yarad?” 
“I’m bringing the ship down on it. Kinda.”
“Excuse me?”
“Oh right, I forgot to mention I can do things like that now.”
“Were you not gonna tell me?”
“You didn’t ask.”
“I WOULDN’T HAVE KNOWN.”
“....huh. Didn’t think of that. Anyways, let’s do this.”
Hellscream begins to partially turn himself into smoke and rises into the air. He holds out his hand towards the capital ship. The smoke from the explosions start to move down towards the planet. He uses his other hand and begins to weave it in intricate movements. The smoke slowly gathers up and becomes a large cloud mass. Hellscream smirks and puts his hands together and points them downward. The smoke then creates a large meteor made out of smoke and cinder. It reaches the size of CRDNCE-218’s moon and accelerates its way towards the surface. Hellscream tells the others to get into the ship and they comply. Virulentus puts the ship in hover mode and moves it far away from the targeted area. The organ swells even larger and sounds like it’s screaming in fear. The meteor impacts the area and causes an explosion that reaches 150 miles and a shockwave of smoke across a 300 mile radius. Hellscream gives a shouts of victory as the smoke settles and sees the organ completely gone, with the mass of creatures flattened as well with it. 
They hear a screech and realize it’s from the entity. It looks directly at the ship. Virulent pilots it to another open spot on the planet and gets out. The Squadron all look up back at the entity with Hellscream reappearing next to them. It stares them down and soon they hear words in their heads. “Ymg' ephainafl mgah ya.  Ymg' ah nilgh'ri mgep ya,” the entity says within their heads. Hellscream shouts back, “Well we’re resisting and while we may be physically beneath you right now, you ain’t shit.” Imperialist steps forward and stares intently at the creature. It notices and looks at her and says in her head, “Ymg' ephaisubmit.” She smiles and says back, “I only submit to the High One. And you are not him.” The entity stares for a few moments, and then begins to bring one of its limbs down. It says as it does this, “Ng ymg' ephaiah'mglw'nafh.(Then you will die)” Imperialist waits for the limb to get close enough. She readies herself and as the limb approaches her, she jumps and roundhouse kicks the limb, and repels it easily. The entity looks at its limb and then back at Imperialist. She stretches and smiles more at it. It brings another limb down and she reflects it as well. The being then says, “Llllw'nafh. (Enough)” One of its eyes begin to glow and a bright light begins to form in the center of it. Hellscream says sarcastically, “Oh no, whatever will we do? He’s doing his death laser eye beam thingy! The horror. The horror!” 
At that moment, the light reaches its peak brightness and is sent down as a beam towards the Squadron. Volume 0 gets in front of Imperialist and gives a mighty roar. The sheer power of the scream stops the beam in its tracks and dissipates it gradually. The entity looks surprised, as its eyes widen. Volume 0 giggles and remarks, “For such a large creature, your beam didn’t have much behind it.” Imperialist asks the Squadron, “Should we stop toying with him?” Hellscream pouts, “Aw do we really have to end it so early?” Virulentus noogies Hellscream and says, “I think the noodle monster’s been made a fool of enough.” Bloodclaute nods and says, “I would like to get home soon. A new episode of my show is going to be released soon.” Volume 0 agrees, “I’m sure we all want to head back to Jericho.” Imperialist looks back at the entity and says, “Sorry guy. I gotta put you down now.” Before the entity could try to speak, Imperialist's halo glows and she snaps her fingers. In an instant, a gigantic lightning bolt slams into the entity seemingly from nowhere. The entity jerks back, collapses on itself and begins to slowly disintegrate. Its eyes dart around as if in fear and focuses back on the Squadron. Imperialist says to it, “I hope Hades’s punishment is excruciatingly painful for you.”
The entity completely turns into ash and drifts away in space, leaving only a gigantic eye on the planet's surface. The pilots above the planet cheer and congratulate each other. Fate closes her eye, smiles and walks back into the frigate. Hellscream walks up to the gigantic eyeball and examines it. Virulentus looks at him in question. Hellscream then says as he licks it, "I wonder if it tastes like sus-SHIT. IT DOES NOT TASTE LIKE SUSHI IT TASTES LIKE SHIT." Virulentus gags and smacks Hellscream on the back of his head while insulting, "You fucking freak."
"I WAS CURIOUS!"
"So you lick an alien eyeball?!"
"It's an overgrown squid what do you want me to do?!"
"BE NORMAL!"
"Well, you got the wrong guy for that one. Anyways, what do we do about this planet?"
Imperialist looks up at the Seraphim fleet and asks, "Good question, Aaliyah?" Here Lies Fate responds through the comms, "We destroy it. I believe it'll eventually become an asteroid belt to some lonely planet." Bloodclaute nods and walks towards the Nazareth with the rest following close by. They take off the surface of the planet and get in position. Imperialist looks at Hellscream and says, "Your turn." Hellscream squeals in excitement as his misty halo glows. He raises his hand and a large tectonic chunk of the planet lifts up into space. Hellscream explains, "Surprisingly, this planet has a lot of vapor and gases inside it. Like an unusual amount." Hellscream then gently lowers his hand. The slice of rock comes back down on the planet and the fleet leaves before the planet explodes due to the speed of the falling cinder meteor. 
== Catching Up- Jericho, CMLT-919 [06/24/2022 A.D.] ==
The fleet all come back to Jericho. The Dominion all talk and compliment each other as they return to their barracks. Here Lies Fate waits for the Squadron to approach her at the entrance and says, "You all did great today." Hellscream responds, "Us? What about you? You destroyed that capital ship in one go! That was fucking awesome." Fate smiles and taps her spear on the ground. "I haven't done something like that in a long while. Guess I still got it," she says, still with a bright smile on her face. Imperialist calls Seraph and reports, "The creature has been taken care of. Grail is safe for now." Seraph compliments, "That was fast. Good work you guys. If you see anything else in space don't be afraid to take care of it or even ask for my help." Imperialist nods, wishes him good-bye, and hangs up. Eden then pops up on her watch and says, "Hey Bri. I'm gonna reenable the cameras on the Grail Space Station. Also, you should look at this. Malistair News is in Grail too." Eden then shows a feed of an interview from a few days ago of a blond hair and blue eyed woman. She's talking about the security of Camelot and investigating the CACG. Hellscream and the others come over and watch the interview as well. Bloodclaute comments, "I feel like I've seen her before." Volume 0 nods in agreement and adds, "She does feel familiar." Eden says, "She doesn't match anyone else on my database. In fact, her name seems to be Heralda Smith. Her record checks out. Seems to just be a hardcore Nationalist, and the Camelot people are eating it up. Her polls are phenomenal." Imperialist worries, "Might be some trouble for the CACG. Think we should help?" 
"Seems to be a Grail issue so far. Unless it has to do with problems from out universe, I think we should just observe. I'll look more into Heralda since you guys said she looks familiar. Maybe see if she's involved with anyone we know."
"That'd be great Eden. Thanks."
"No problem Bri. Okay, I'm gonna go search now. Catch you guys later."
Eden disappears into the watch. The Squadron talk about the politician as they walk back to their rooms. They hope the CACG will fair fine against the new passive threat.
