Tyrannus

She is the main protagonist of *A Tyrant's Life*.

## **Physical Appearance**

### **Initially**

As a human named Beatrice, she had long brown hair and golden eyes. She had a petite frame and light skin. She usually wore a yellow short-sleeved t-shirt and white shorts with black stripes. She also wore a white lab coat over this outfit as well as black sneakers with white soles. She became a human/Type:Null hybrid during the first stage of her transformation. In this state, Beatrice retained her human body, but grew in size and developed the forelegs, head and control mask of Type:Null, the latter of which muffled her voice. The mask, forcibly given to her by Anakin, was brown with a thin yellow line between the four protruding vanes, a yellow hexagon on each vane, and a yellow X-shaped marking on the huge hinges. Her eyes turned yellow. Her hands had five digits facing frontward (for fingers and thumbs) in addition to gaining an extra one facing backward and turned black. She later gained a tail that grew 6 inches in length daily until she transformed.

### **Second Form**

Upon completing the transformation into Type:Null, her exposed fur of her mane was a dull yellowish-gray. She grew red fur with black stripes, and her legs turned black. Two massive draconic black wings sprouted from her upper back; these wings had yellowish-gray membranes. She grows a long, powerful, draconic tail which is entirely black and possesses the typical fish tail with the fin at the end; the membrane of which was yellowish-gray. Her eyes, which were visible through the rectangular holes in the mask, began glowing constantly due to her body accepting the implantation of cybernetic computer systems in her brain, skull, and mouth. She gained implants in her spine as well, resulting in a row of sharp glowing metal spikes protruding from and running all the way from her back to her tail. Her fur became scarred, ragged, and unkempt. She eventually broke her mask and evolved into Silvally.

### **Current and Final Form**

She is now a muscular Silvally of massive size (larger than average). Her head and neck are covered in a thick, shiny yellow mane that also extends down over her chest. Thick purple draconic scales are present on her shoulders, flanks, shins, and on top of her feet. Her back feet have large, hooked, nonretractable talons akin to a raptor's, red spikes on the heels, and yellow paw pads. She retains her wings and tail, the former of which now have dark teal membranes to show her Dragon typing. The wings grow a large claw-like spike at the third joint. The top of her head is black, and the mechanical parts on her head are gold-colored. Her eyes remain yellow with black pupils, and her nose is framed by three red lines. She has a massive crest with three sharp white spikes that protrude from the back and curve slightly upward. Her sclerae, spikes, disc drives and tail fin are all white, but will change color to match her current primary type depending on the memory she uses. She has a mouthful of viciously sharp, thick, curved yellow teeth capable of biting through anything. Small sharp, serrated tooth-like growths have replaced her lower lip, and her metal upper jaw has been sharpened and serrated; these changes make her whole mouth looked jagged, although she still retains her teeth. Her legs have gained several small metal spikes, which serve as cybernetic, elementally reactive implants. She also has an antenna above each RKS drive with a glowing white light. This light, like her other aforementioned body parts, will change color to match her current primary type.

### **Attire**

As an Officer apprentice in the Warrior Guardians, Beatrice wore a slim black bulletproof vest with several melee weapons concealed in the pockets and inside. The left breast bore the Officer insignia. Underneath the vest, she wore a white, short-sleeved button-down t-shirt. She also wore black shorts, a matching belt with a gun, taser, and handcuffs, and black boots. She gained a communication device on each wrist.

As a farmer, Beatrice switched to white overalls and a light blue button-down t-shirt. She donned brown boots and a red cloth around her neck. She soon had to give up wearing clothes for good after finishing her transformation.

As a despot ruler, Tyrannus wore a red velvet cape, a gold necklace with rubies, and gold battle armor on her tail, legs, chest, and torso. She also wore metal coverings on her back feet to protect them since she favors walking bipedally. She carried a long sword and several other melee weapons in a belt around her waist. She later got the accessories taken from her after being overthrown. As a temporary guard, she is forced to wear a blue collar and a matching harness, both of which are attached to a heavy chain.

## ***A Tyrant's Life***

### **Chapter 1**

The story starts in Beatrice and Cecilia's house, where the former is getting ready for work.

*More coming soon.*

### **Chapter 2**

Beatrice meets her father in the laboratory. Phillip informs her of two Pokémon he's creating and needs someone to help. Beatrice happily offers herself up for the task, wanting to make her father proud.

### **Chapter 3**

Three weeks later, Beatrice and Phillip see that the Type:Full, named Bruce, has been developing well and identified as male.

### **Chapter 4**

Beatrice, Phillip, and a bunch of other scientists conduct a series of experiments on Bruce to test his RKS System ability. In the first test, Bruce battles a shiny Pheromosa; he initially struggles against the Ultra Beast, but is able to switch to a Fire-type and knock out his opponent with Multi-Attack. However, Beatrice notices him wince in pain right after he changes his type. In the second test, Bruce is forced to battle two opponents simultaneously: a Dragonite and a Tyranitar. This is done with the intention of having him change his type twice. After a long battle, he first becomes an Ice-type to knock out Dragonite, then switches to a Fighting-type to defeat Tyranitar. However, the pain and stress of the battles and the constant type-changing soon cause Bruce to reject the RKS System and go berserk, to everyone's horror.

Beatrice looks on while Bruce runs around the test room, unable to control himself. He glares at her, and their eyes lock before he becomes a Steel-type and runs at her. Beatrice jumps back and almost screams as the Pokémon starts clawing at the window. She tells her father that the combined power of the memory discs and the RKS System are too much for Bruce to handle. Meanwhile, Bruce roars in agony, cracking the window, and jumps back. He becomes an Electric-type and readies a Charge Beam. While the other scientists look on in sheer horror, Beatrice yells to Phillip that the wall between them can no longer take any kind of impact. Her father snaps to fire the restraints, which Beatrice does without hesitation.

Bruce is quickly restrained, with some of the thick cords wrapping so tight around his neck that he can't fire his attack. Beatrice watches as, choking, he struggles to free himself. Suddenly, Phillip has a seizure and collapses to the floor, horrifying Beatrice. Rico, another scientist, asks what's wrong with her father, and Beatrice replies that he's epileptic. She inserts a bite rod into Phillip's mouth, and everyone waits until the seizure passes. Phillip falls unconscious, and Beatrice orders for someone to get him to the infirmary. She then turns her attention back to Bruce and studies the painful expression in his eyes. Feeling sorry for him, she silently promises it'll all be over soon. Rico asks what to do, and Beatrice commands him to engage the limiter helmet.

The other scientists obey, and Beatrice watches as a control mask is forcibly placed over Bruce's head, enclosing it completely; his RKS System is deactivated as a result and he is turned into Type:Null. Behind her, two men carry Phillip to the infirmary. Beatrice then orders to have Bruce sedated and transferred to a holding cell before following the men carrying her father away.

### **Chapter 5**

The next day, Beatrice goes to the lab alone to continue her father's work on creating a young Mewtwo. She soon observes that the Pokémon has developed feminine traits, including sex organs, and therefore gives it the female gender, naming it Omega.

### **Chapter 6**

Phillip takes Beatrice out for a driving lesson, during which she does well. An hour into the lesson, however, an aggressive driver causes an accident by ramming into their car, injuring Beatrice and killing her father. Beatrice is devastated at Phillip's untimely demise. She learns that the driver responsible for the crash has been identified as her deadbeat uncle Darrel, who was drunk-driving. She and her mother rightfully blame him for Phillip's death and vow vengeance, disowning him as family. Still grieving for her husband, Cecilia files a crash report, increasing the evidence of him being responsible for the accident while Beatrice recovers in the hospital.

The next day, Beatrice hears that Darrel is found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison while permanently getting his driver's license revoked. She informs her mother over the phone after the nurse leaves, elating Cecilia. Two days later, however, they are both shocked and horrified when a news report reveals that Darrel has escaped from prison. Cecilia, knowing her brother's habits, concocts a plan for her and Beatrice to kill him themselves; Beatrice whole-heartedly agrees, wanting to avenge her father. She also secretly plots to assassinate her mother due to her constant abuse of her. Darrel later calls Cecilia and apologizes for his actions, to which she snaps that it'll take more to earn her back. She tells him to come over to the house to discuss his atonement, to which he agrees; Beatrice, not wanting to talk to Darrel herself, instead listens in on the conversation. Cecilia hangs up on her estranged brother before she and her daughter prepare to kill him.

Darrel shows up at the house the next night. Beatrice hides upstairs with a loaded shotgun and watches while Cecilia lets him in. The adults go into the living room and begin a tense conversation, allowing Beatrice to sneak downstairs unnoticed. She slowly advances while the conversation continues. It ends with Cecilia pretending to profess love for her brother. They hug each other; however, Darrel is unaware that Cecilia is hiding a knife on her. She quickly stabs him with it, and he stumbles back, blood pumping from a wound in his stomach. Cecilia snaps that it's for killing her husband and tells Beatrice to finish him off. Beatrice shoots Darrel in the head, ending his life.

She then turns on her mother, who becomes horrified. Cecilia asks what Beatrice is doing, and the latter replies that she brought this upon herself for abusing her for her entire life. She cocks the gun, pumping the slide, and raises the barrel at her mother. Cecilia begs for her life, but Beatrice callously shoots her to death. She buries both corpses in her backyard, making sure they're deep underground so no one will ever find them, then cleans up the blood inside the house. To finish removing the evidence of the murders, Beatrice cleans the shotgun and hides it in her bedroom before turning in for the night.

### **Chapter 10**

Beatrice runs through the halls of the laboratory with a newly-evolved Bruce chasing her. He booms that nothing will save her now, causing her to panic even more. She tries to run faster, but realizes her body is getting tired and that Bruce is catching up with her. The latter roars he saw her commit matricide, to the former's confusion. Beatrice, however, soon manages to outrun him and locks herself in the archive room. However, Bruce, with his brute strength, simply rams himself into the door, knocking it off its hinges and sending Beatrice flying. She screams and rolls until she lands against a book case, hitting her head and causing it to bleed.

Bruce slowly and menacingly approaches her while cutting off her only escape route. Beatrice looks up at him with mounting horror as he looms over her. She pleads for him not to hurt her and hastily apologizes, but Bruce, determined to have his revenge, tells her to save her breath. He reveals that he plans on having Beatrice go through what she forced him to endure. She watches in horror as he then pins her with his forefeet and bites down on her neck, choking her. Feeling her body shaking violently, Beatrice knows that struggling would be futile and decides to take her punishment. She lets herself go limp so she doesn't feel the pain as much; she also feels weaker due to a now-restricted oxygen supply and is barely aware of her own blood trickling from her mouth and Bruce's bitemarks. She feels her legs dragging against the floor as Bruce drags her out of the room.

He drags her out of the lab building and all the way back to her house in the dead of night, revealing he knows where she lives. Bruce reaches the front of the house and drops Beatrice at the steps. The latter gasps for air and coughs, lying on the ground. She looks up at Bruce and weakly inquires why he didn't kill her. He coldly replies that one should only kill if necessary before turning his back on her. Beatrice watches as he runs off into the darkness before she passes out.

### **Chapter 11**

Beatrice wakes up the next morning inside her late parents' house to find her wounds bandaged and her legs shackled and chained to the couch. She sits bolt upright to see a Type:Null's control mask sitting on the coffee table next to her. She looks around for signs of breaking and entering, wondering if bandits chained her up, but sees none. She hears the front door opening and footsteps approaching and calls out, asking who's there.

A man appears in the doorway and glares at her, causing Beatrice to shudder. Noticing his appearance, she realizes she needs to be nice to him. She starts shaking as he approaches and tentatively asks who he is. The man introduces himself as Anakin, stopping right in front of her. He states he knows who Beatrice is and what she's about to become. When Beatrice asks what he means by that, Anakin holds a mirror up to her face. Beatrice screams in horror as she sees a gold and black Silvally's head staring back at her with large yellow eyes. She looks at her hands and is horrified to see they've become insectoid and black. She cries out, asking what happened, but Anakin doesn't answer. Beatrice deduces that Bruce had something to do with it.

Anakin takes up the control mask and tells Beatrice she needs to wear it without explaining why. Knowing her hands have been restrained, Beatrice tries to wriggle free, and ends up breaking the chains. Shocked, Anakin quickly injects her with a large amount of sedative. Beatrice soon feels drowsy and falls asleep.

### **Chapter 12**

She wakes up hours later in a hospital room, still groggy. Anakin, sitting on the end of her bed, asks how she's feeling. She doesn't answer; he informs her that he put the control mask on her, turning her into a human/Type:Null hybrid. Shocked and horrified, Beatrice sits bolt upright and exclaims in horror, realizing that the mask muffles her voice. Anakin tells her he can understand her clearly. He also tells her that she had to undergo surgery since she suffered a lot of unnecessary stress in her early childhood. Beatrice asks what kind of surgery. Anakin responds that he and a few other surgeons had to place cybernetic computer systems into her brain, skull, and mouth to not only reinforce the strength of those areas, but also help her think more critically and learn things faster. He insists that they did it to help her, but Beatrice is skeptical.

She asks where she is, and Anakin informs her that she's in the hospital of the *Militaris Custos* (Latin for "Warrior Guardians"). He explains that they're a law enforcement agency: a military unit consisting of soldiers and medics devoted to protecting justice, peace, and prosperity. Anakin reveals he is a member of the agency, an Officer, and informs Beatrice that she has already been inducted as well. Horrified, Beatrice tries to convince Anakin that she doesn't want to be part of the organization, but he is sternly adamant. He tells her she'll become his apprentice once she recovers, but tries to get her to cheer up by revealing her surgery went without a hitch. Beatrice, however, remains despondent, knowing her freedom has been taken. Anakin commands her to sleep off the drug, and Beatrice reluctantly complies. Before falling asleep, Beatrice hears Anakin calling a moving company to get her possessions out of her old house.

### **Chapter 16**

While serving as a Guardian cadet, Beatrice befriends a snide Liepard named Annabel, who is also a cadet. They start hanging out in their spare time when off-duty. The two find out that the planet they're currently on, Hasbos, is hosting an annual derby; the winning prize is a ticket to Alola, Beatrice's home. Elated to get back home, Beatrice eagerly signs up behind Anakin's back and prepares for the derby.

The next day, however, she finds out that the racetrack was bombed, shattering her hopes of winning the derby. She later finds a bomb, explosives, and several detonators matching the bomb that destroyed the track planted in her quarters. She also finds several strands of purple fur and small neat pawprints on the floor. She analyzes the fur and is horrified when the DNA is revealed to be Annabel's. Beatrice realizes that Annabel bombed the racetrack and intends to frame her, infuriating her. She deduces that Annabel wanted the Alola ticket and aimed to frame her for the bombing so she wouldn't get to participate in the derby.

However, Anakin and some soldiers arrive on the scene soon after and discover the bombs. Anakin becomes incensed with Beatrice and quickly accuses her of the bombing, pointing out her immaturity and selfishness. He refuses to listen to her and has his soldiers sedate Beatrice before she can explain herself.

### **Chapter 17**

Beatrice wakes up in a prison cell, finding that her Guardian attire has been removed and her wrists and neck are shackled and chained to the walls. Annabel arrives at her cell and taunts her by pulling faces at her, enraging Beatrice. As she does so, Beatrice notices several strands of her fur falling out. She sits and allows Annabel to taunt her. Annabel reveals that she wants the ticket to Alola for herself, as she wants to get away from the Guardians and the war, confirming Beatrice's suspicions. The Liepard finishes taunting her and leaves. Beatrice watches her go, thinking she'll get her comeuppance when the truth comes out.

Anakin arrives at her cell and proceeds to belittle her for her personality traits. Beatrice tries to defend herself and tell the truth, but Anakin stubbornly refuses to listen and shuts her down. However, Admiral Hoffman arrives and show's Beatrice's DNA test results, confirming her findings that Annabel bombed the track and not her. Anakin realizes his mistake and apologizes to Beatrice, but she pointedly doesn't respond, angry with him for ruining her life. Hoffman has a soldier free her, and she thanks Hoffman for getting her out. Anakin tries to talk to Beatrice, but she ignores him and walks away, leaving him despondent.

Beatrice is then met by Chief Merlin, who informs her that she must present the case to the Guardian Council to prove her innocence. She agrees and goes to get Hoffman, but he and Anakin reach her in the hallway. All four then proceed to the Council's meeting room. The other Chiefs, knowing what happened, ask Beatrice for evidence of her innocence, and she and Hoffman provide Annabel's DNA from the fur found in her quarters. Mimi, another cadet, arrives and presents security camera footage of Annabel placing the bomb that destroyed the racetrack, and also footage of her planting explosives in Beatrice's quarters. Beatrice is pleased at being vindicated, and the Council rule that she is indeed innocent, reinstating her as a cadet and taking her off-duty for a while. Merlin promises her that they'll find Annabel and arrest her, but Beatrice says she'll track the Liepard down herself. Anakin, fearing for her safety, tries to persuade her not to, but Beatrice becomes infuriated with him and snaps at him for jumping to conclusions, stating he needs to learn to think more critically. Before anyone else can speak, she storms out of the room and begins to take matters into her own hands.

### **Chapter 18**

Beatrice cleans out her room, giving the explosives away, and finds out the new location of the derby. She finds out from Karris, a fellow cadet, that Annabel is already on her way there. She races to the exit of the base, but Anakin intervenes and prevents her from leaving. He confines her to rest in her quarters and locks her in to keep her from doing anything rash. However, Beatrice escapes her room with the help of a soldier, Bolt, who sympathizes with her. She brings some ammunition and a sniper rifle in her backpack. Bolt manages to distract Anakin long enough for Beatrice to escape the base and get into a nearby car. Anakin realizes too late that he was tricked, and Beatrice glances back at him as she speeds to the derby.

Along the way, Beatrice almost causes an accident, but makes it out unscathed. Upon arriving at the derby, Beatrice sneaks into the racetrack, where she finds a dark, secluded spot a way under the bleachers. She peeks out of the hole in the bleachers and sees Annabel getting into the purple racecar. Incensed, she quickly assembles her rifle and takes aim. However, Anakin, having followed her, arrives and catches her about to fire. He quickly disarms Beatrice, destroying the rifle, and the latter flees. Anakin chases her onto the bleachers, where she sees Annabel's car racing by. Beatrice waits until she drives around again, then jumps, launching herself off the bleachers and directly onto Annabel's roof.

Clinging on with her claws, she slides onto the windshield as the caster announces the proceedings. She glares at Annabel, who is astounded to see her. She asks what Beatrice is doing, to which the latter replies she knows what she's doing. Annabel yells at Beatrice to get off the car as she's blocking her vision, but Beatrice refuses. Furiously, Beatrice begins to ram her control mask against Annabel's windshield, cracking it, while the Liepard turns left and right in a vain attempt to shake her off. Beatrice learns Headbutt and smashes the windshield

### **Chapter 30**

Shortly after the Officer Guardians win the war, Beatrice escapes Anakin's custody during the celebration, having had enough of him. She flees to a farming village inhabited by humans, Pokémon, and humanoid aliens. An elderly woman takes her in; Beatrice reciprocates by doing housework and babysitting her infant grandson, though the woman tells her that nobody must know about the baby. When Beatrice asks why, the old woman replies that her daughter, the baby's mother, passed away after childbirth and that the baby himself was born prematurely, being very weak as a result. She doesn't want Child Protective Services taking her only family away, and Beatrice promises to keep her secret to further reciprocate her kindness. The woman, named Rose, then informs her that she won't be around much longer due to a terminal illness and asks Beatrice to care for the baby, named Russell, after she passes away. Beatrice reluctantly promises that she will. Rose gives her a change of clothes, including tops that she doesn't have to pull over her head, but doesn't ask about the latter's limiter helmet.

### **Chapter 31**

The next day, Rose insists Beatrice get a job since she's too old to work herself. The latter reluctantly complies, knowing from a conversation she heard yesterday that 12-year-olds are too young to work even part-time jobs. As she heads through the village, she avoids the curious stares of some residents, understanding their curiosity since she showed up out of the blue. Beatrice decides to lie about her age and origin to protect herself from nosy people. She reaches the field, where she approaches an old man who appears to be supervising the other farmers working there. The man asks if he can help her, and Beatrice, going under the name Rachel, explains that she needs to find work in order to support herself and Rose. Puzzled, the man asks how she knows Rose, and Beatrice lies that Rose is a family friend of hers. She inquires if the farmers need her assistance with their work, offering herself up. He asks how old she is, and she replies that she's 16; she is relieved when the man, who introduces himself as George, accepts her offer. He directs her to gather up the wheat harvest into bales on the far side of the field and load it into a pick-up truck. Elated, "Rachel" thanks him and eagerly begins working.

She is slow at first due to not being used to this kind of work, but quickly learns from watching other people nearby. She lifts up four bales at once and begins carrying them towards the blue truck. A few other workers ask if she needs help, but Beatrice politely declines. After managing her load, she runs back to her spot, only to bump into a young man who appears to be 18. The man, who's talking to his twin sister, turns around, and looks at Beatrice, who hastily apologizes. The latter attempts to leave, but the man asks if she's new here. Beatrice replies that she is. The man narrows his eyes at her, remarking that it's odd for a stranger like her to show in the village up out of the blue. Unnerved by his piercing stare, Beatrice retorts with "What about *you*? Did *you* show up here out of nowhere sometime ago?" Taken aback, the man stares at her, while his sister chides him on his attitude. Beatrice takes the opportunity to leave, retreating to her spot and continuing her work.

A little while later, a trumpet blares nearby, startling her. She turns to see a young Togruta woman playing the instrument and turns her head away with an irritated grunt, thinking she's had enough interruptions. Minutes later, George calls that it's time for a break. Determined to get her mind off her anxiety, Beatrice keeps working, keeping an eye on the others who start heading back to the village. Nobody questions her, further relieving her. She finishes her eighth bale of wheat when the trumpet plays again, this time closer to her. Realizing it's the Togruta approaching her, she growls in annoyance, but only looks up when she feels a hand on her shoulder and hears a somewhat soft, yet authoritative voice addressing her. Beatrice realizes she needs to keep her cool and stands up. The Togruta repeats that it's break time; Beatrice politely replies that she arrived a little while ago and she hasn't working very long, so she can keep going. However, the former stands her ground, insisting that the latter come with her since she's new, as breaks are mandatory here. She warns Beatrice that arguing is futile; annoyed, the latter realizes she's right and relents.

The Togruta, keeping a hand on her shoulder, escorts her back to the village to show her where the workers gather during breaks. Beatrice, still irritated, shrugs her hand off and tries to walk ahead, but the Togruta stops her, blocks her path, and gives her a warning look. The former, knowing ordering her superior around is imprudent, nervously looks back at her. The Togruta remarks that Beatrice is very temperamental for a 16-year-old, and the latter lies that she has a few childish tendencies for her age. The older woman opens her mouth, but is forestalled by the twin sister from earlier, who asks if she's coming. The Togruta, whose name is revealed to be Mona, replies yes and to hang on. She turns back to Beatrice, calling her Rachel and calmly warning her to watch her attitude. Beatrice asks how she knows her name, and Mona replies that she saw her talking with George before the break. Mona informs Beatrice she doesn't want to have this conversation again, stating her younger sister has a similar personality to hers. The hybrid sighs and replies it won't happen again. Satisfied, Mona commands her to follow, and Beatrice obeys.

The pair arrive at the front of a large building where a small group of workers, including the twins from before, are seated around a large pot of what appears to be soup. The sister greets Mona cheerfully, and the latter reciprocates, revealing her friend's name to be Alison and her brother's to be Joshua. Alison looks at Beatrice, who politely introduces herself using her pseudonym. The other workers also introduce themselves, and Alison offers a bowl of soup to Mona, who gratefully accepts it. Mona sits down on a crate and gestures for Beatrice to do the same; however, the latter, having noticed a large abandoned farmhouse nearby, lies that she needs to go for a minute. She heads to the farmhouse after being excused and enters it, making sure nobody's watching before silently shutting the door.

Once inside, she thinks of the soup and despairingly wonders how she's supposed to eat with her limiter helmet over her head. She tries to pry it off once again to no avail, realizing it's snug around her neck, and the metal is too heavy for her to be able to lift with her bare hands. Angered, she lets out a yell and starts ramming her helmet against the walls of the farmhouse in an attempt to break it off, caring not to hit her crest. Unfortunately, she finds out the metal is way tougher than she thought. Beatrice continues her tantrum, yelling and cursing every time she either fails to break the helmet or trips on objects lying on the floor. After a while, she gives up, kicking over a barrel in frustration.

She is startled to hear Mona's voice from outside, asking what's going on in there. Beatrice lies that it's nothing, but Mona says she heard a lot of crashing around. The former silently panics, realizing that she's attracted unwanted attention, and, furious with herself, punches herself upside the head. There is a click, and Beatrice realizes that she knocked her helmet's jaw piece upward, leaving a gap big enough for food to reach her mouth. She sighs in relief. Mona orders her to come out, which she does. Beatrice sees the Togruta glaring at her; the latter snaps at her to come back and eat, explaining they have 2 1-hour breaks in each workday. Mona asks Beatrice what she was doing in the farmhouse, but the hybrid doesn't answer. The pair return to the other workers, and Mona and Alison make sure Beatrice is fed. Beatrice almost spits the soup out, but knows it would be rude, and eats it under Mona's watchful eye while uneasily listening to the workers' conversation.

When the break ends, Mona plays the trumpet again to remind the others it's time to go back to work, right before George announces it himself. Beatrice closes her helmet's jaw piece, thanks Alison for the food, and heads back to the fields with the little group. While working, she avoids Mona completely unless it's for work purposes, knowing she'll have to be careful around the Togruta. A few hours later, the day ends, and Beatrice heads back to Rose's house. Mona walks up beside her and warns she'll have to keep an eye on her. Worried, Beatrice apologizes for her earlier behavior and promises she'll do better tomorrow. Mona says she'd better and bids her goodnight, dismissing her. Beatrice returns to Rose's house and eats dinner, cares for Russell, showers, and turns in.

### **Chapter 32**

The next morning, Beatrice is woken up by the noise of shattering glass downstairs. She sits bolt upright in bed and hears Rose crying out, along with Russell wailing; there are more screams outside. She rushes downstairs and, seeing a man looming over Rose, runs at him and headbutts him, inadvertently breaking his ribs. Beatrice asks Rose if she's okay, but becomes horrified upon seeing a bloody gash across her chest. Rose rasps that the people who broke in took Russell before dying. Devastated, Beatrice becomes so incensed that she transforms completely into Type:Null, ripping off her clothes and growing wings. She grabs her Memory bag and races out of the house into a chaos-filled street; she sees fires in several buildings and people running around in terror.

Beatrice hears Russell crying and sees a Twi'lek running away with him not too far from her. She yells in rage and sprints after him, quickly gaining on him. The Twi'lek sees her and tries to outrun her, but she furiously knocks him off his feet by tripping him with her foreleg. He drops Russell, who starts to cry, and Beatrice snarls at him to leave him alone, clawing at him. The Twi'lek kicks her stomach and quickly regains his footing. He runs for Russell, but Beatrice pounces on him. However, a female Togruta bearing a strong resemblance to Mona and Margot intervenes and attacks Beatrice. While battling her, she yells for the Twi'lek, named Gus, to run and take Russell to safety. Thinking they're abducting him, Beatrice headbutts the Togruta when she's not looking and sends her flying. She then rushes at Gus, who looks stupefied, and knocks him over again with great force. However, he accidentally falls on Russell, killing the infant.

Thinking he did it intentionally, Beatrice becomes infuriated and roars in rage, shattering her helmet and evolving into Silvally. She lunges at Gus with renewed ferocity, grabs him in her mouth, and tosses him away before staring in horror at Russell's crushed body. She begins to cry knowing she cared about him and always wanted a younger sibling. However, her grief is cut short when the Togruta from earlier arrives on the scene. She gasps in horror at Russell's body and rushes forward, grabbing it. Beatrice turns on her, enraged, and snarls not to touch him. She viciously knocks the Togruta over, making her drop Russell. Beatrice grabs the struggling Togruta's neck in her mouth and bites down, suffocating her to death. Believing there's nothing left for her here, and not wanting to get caught by the Warrior Guardians in the area, she turns and flees the scene, retreating into the woods beyond the village.

### **Chapter 35**

Beatrice eventually encounters an entitled little girl who befriends her and brings her to her mother. The mother is revealed to be abusive, but nonetheless lets her daughter keep Beatrice as a pet. During her stay at her new home, the latter notices that a huge number of Pokémon live in the same house, along with the mother's five kids. Many of the Pokémon sport some kind of physical injury, horrifying Beatrice. The girl, named Anna, has Beatrice do several household tasks, threatening her with a taser if she doesn't comply. Learning this lesson from Anakin, the latter hurriedly obeys. Afterward, she is made to give each of the kids a ride on her back, something she despises but does anyway. That night, Beatrice is forced to sleep in a spare bedroom occupied by the other hoarded Pokémon living in the house. She sees that the bed is empty and goes to sleep on it, but is confronted by a Lucario who snaps that it's her bed and tells her to shove off. Beatrice ignores her and refuses to move, angering the Lucario, who then leaves.

The next morning, Beatrice is rudely awakened by Anna, who whips her repeatedly and screams at her to get up. Having had enough abuse, Beatrice grabs Anna's head in her jaws and crushes her skull, killing her instantly. The other Pokémon look on as Beatrice drops Anna's body and heads out of the room. She confronts Anna's mother, who sees the blood on her mouth and tries to run away, but the Silvally kills her by throwing her down the stairs and causing her to break her neck. Beatrice goes downstairs and sees the woman's husband holding a gun as he runs up to his wife's body. The man raises his gun at Beatrice, but she lunges at him and pins him to the ground before slashing his throat. She then picks up the gun, cocks it, and begins looking around the house for the other kids. Hearing footsteps coming down, she raises the gun only to lower it upon seeing the other Pokémon cautiously approaching. Beatrice decides to leave them alone and continues her search, but they follow her, implying they want to help.

Beatrice tells them to flush the other kids out of hiding so she can shoot them, which they do in a matter of minutes. They drag the kids before Beatrice, who callously shoots them to death. She then tells the other Pokémon to go be free before heading back upstairs in search of her Memory bag. She soon retrieves it in Anna's room and leaves the house with it. Outside, she thinks about her demeanor taking a turn for the worse and decides to let it consume her, changing her name to Tyrannus.

### **Chapter 40**

Tyrannus avoids the Camilo sisters as much as possible, to their annoyance, and rebuffs them when they try to reach out to her. She realizes that every time she sees them, she's reminded of the Togruta she killed, and how that one looked Mona and Margot. During a discussion among the villagers that night, Margot recounts a story of when the village Mona worked at was attacked, and saw Gus and the Togruta trying to rescue a baby boy from a winged Type: Null, making Tyrannus remember her fight with them to protect Russell. Mona adds that the baby had died and her mother attacked the Type: Null, but reveals she and Margot had to go help the villagers evacuate before they could watch the fight unfold. Tyrannus realizes that the Togruta she killed was their mother. After the sisters finish the story, the villagers and their Pokémon decide to turn in for the night, except for Tyrannus, who sneaks away. However, Mona and Margot follow her, realizing she's the spitting image of the Type: Null they described in their story.

The Silvally snaps at them to quit following her, but the sisters ask to tell them where she was at the time of the attack. Realizing there's no easy way out, Tyrannus angrily confesses that she evolved, blinded by grief after Russell's death, and killed the Togruta, claiming it was her own fault she died. She coldly tells the sisters that their mother's not coming. Both sisters are horrified, devastated, and angry, and start to cry, with Margot furiously calling the Silvally a monster. Tyrannus spits at them not to follow her, and that she never wants to see them again, as they remind her too much of what she's been through lately. She then flies away, leaving the sisters to mourn the loss of their mother.

### **Chapter 50**

Tyrannus battles Benji when the latter arrives and announces his intentions to help dethrone her. She continuously changes her type, giving herself the upper hand, but ultimately loses to Benji after he Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X and uses Metronome repeatedly to overwhelm her. He spares her life and lets her former subjects arrest her.

### **Chapter 51**

In her prison cell, Tyrannus recalls everything that happened up to now. She is then escorted out of prison by her former guards and up onto a platform with a guillotine. Realizing this is her public execution, Tyrannus decides to accept her fate and places her head in the hole below the blade. However, to her shock, Benji intervenes and pleads to spare Tyrannus. The executioner asks why, to which Benji replies that Tyrannus deserves a second chance. He goes on to explain that Tyrannus became who she is due to her past. The Silvally watches as the civilians mutter about her below, and looks up at Benji as he reiterates his plea to let her live. To her surprise, the executioner agrees, and Benji promises he'll make sure she never bothers them again. Tyrannus is released and reluctantly looks up at Benji, who glares at her. The executioner warns Tyrannus not to come back unless it's to help them fix the damage she caused. Tyrannus then follows Benji's order to go with him.

*More coming soon.*

### **Chapter 52**

Benji and Tyrannus arrive at the former's home after a long flight. Tyrannus, knowing about Benji's family, is hesitant to be so close to them since they're so powerful. Benji is nonchalant and opens the door. His mother Miriam rushes out to hug him, telling him how proud she is and congratulating him for dethroning a tyrant. She then sees Tyrannus and becomes half interested, half wary. Tyrannus becomes even warier and backs away, but Benji pulls on the leash attached to her harness. Miriam approaches her and studies her, to her discomfort. The Mewtwo remarks that she has been through a lot judging by the scars on her body and the look in her eyes. Miriam tells Benji to bring her in. Tyrannus, not wanting to be in a house full of strangers, sits down and refuses to budge. Benji, glaring at her, brings his face up to hers and growls at her to come inside. Tyrannus obeys, intimidated into submission.

She cautiously walks through the hall to the living room, where the rest of Benji's family is waiting. To her surprise, Omega and Bruce are there too, staring at her with surprise and recognition. Benji introduces Tyrannus to his family. They study her warily, and Tyrannus looks down at the floor, unsettled. She reluctantly looks up as Julius addresses her directly, telling her this is her forever home now. Tyrannus almost gasps in shock and slowly processes this. Benji becomes cheerful, puzzling her, and takes her to her new bedroom, which has a piano and a bathroom right next door. He removes her harness and tells her she'll love it, though she remains doubtful. Benji leaves to talk to the rest of the family about her and locks Tyrannus in her room to prevent her from escaping. The latter sighs, lays down on her new bed, and starts moping.

Miriam soon arrives with some food, which Tyrannus dejectedly turns down. However, Miriam refuses to her go hungry and threatens to force feed her. Realizing Benji would do that, Tyrannus eats her food and reluctantly thanks Miriam. The latter beams at this and exclaims she's already making progress. She reaches out to pet Tyrannus, but she backs away and gives a warning growl. Miriam looks at her playfully before leaving.

### **Chapter 53**

A few days later, Tyrannus is woken up by an excited Benji, who tells her that there's good news waiting for her. Still tired, she asks if it can wait, but Benji wakes her up fully by blowing his trumpet in her face, causing her to jump out of bed. He eagerly races out of the room, prompting Tyrannus to follow him. She arrives downstairs to see a Lucario standing next to Bruce and asks what's up. Bruce introduces her to the Lucario, whose name is Natsu, and explains that the latter has worked with many Silvally to try to help them cope with big changes in their lives. Natsu addresses Tyrannus directly, informing he knows her history and wants to help her cope with her new life. Tyrannus rudely declines and tries to leave, but Benji stops her and lectures her on rudeness. Tyrannus says she forgot her manners a very long time ago. Natsu says they'll just have to give her a refresher course on manners and socializing. He reveals that he intends to have her interact with other Silvally as part of her training. Benji puts Tyrannus' harness on her and tells her they're leaving right now while Natsu and Bruce head outside. Miriam bids them goodbye as Benji walks Tyrannus outside.

The four head to a large farm where Tyrannus sees multiple other Silvally in a large pasture enclosure relaxing and talking. She is disgusted at all the toys lying on the ground. Benji removes her harness and she reluctantly follows Bruce into the enclosure. All the other Silvally stop talking and look at her, narrowing their eyes. Tyrannus growls at them. One of them, a shiny Dragon-type, realizes who she is and steps forward to confront her, but Natsu steps in and introduces Tyrannus to the herd. He fills them in briefly on Tyrannus' history, but the Silvally aren't mollified. Tyrannus is shunned by the rest of the herd, dismaying Natsu and Benji. She heads over to the nearest corner and sits there, glaring at everyone. She snaps that it's pointless, but Natsu, Benji, and Bruce are determined to turn the situation around.

Tyrannus watches as Bruce walks over to the shiny Dragon-type, whose name is Diaval, and a few other Silvally, and listens in on their conversation. Bruce informs them that Tyrannus became the way she was since she had a very hard life and was misguided. Seeing this as an insult, Tyrannus becomes incensed and gets up, but Natsu stops her and tells her to sit down. When she doesn't, he places his paws on her shoulders and repeats the command more calmly. He explains to her that she's getting help, which is what she needs to change. Tyrannus spits that she'll never change, and Natsu replies by telling her they'll see about that. He reaches into his satchel and pulls out a photo album that Tyrannus realizes is hers. She gets angrier, demanding where he got it. Natsu reveals that Anakin gave it to him, shocking her, and opens it, showing all the new recent photos in the album at certain parts of her life. Benji walks up, and Natsu gives him a Soothe Bell attached to a pink collar. The bell jingles, and Tyrannus shakes her head, repulsed by the collar's color and the bell's sound.

Benji explains to Tyrannus that the Soothe Bell is meant to calm her down. Tyrannus snarls that she won't wear such a baby-like thing and tries to move away. However, Benji Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X and holds her, struggling, in place. Tyrannus sees Natsu approaching her with the collar and yells at him not to put it on her, threatening to kill him. Natsu fastens the bell collar around her neck, and Tyrannus shakes her head wildly, causing the bell to ring loudly. She tries to free herself from Benji's grip, but he holds her tight. He tells her to calm down; Tyrannus tries to fight the bell's chiming, but is calmed by the sound. She gives in and stops struggling, to Benji and Natsu's relief. Benji reverts to his normal form and lets her go, congratulating her on her first step. Natsu gives Tyrannus her photo album and persuades her to read it. He advises her to think about her past and what she can do to fix things. The two leave the enclosure, and Tyrannus stares at the pictures in her album.

However, she is reminded of all the hardship she endured and how she forced others to go through similar ordeals. She shuts the album and pushes it away, thinking that even though she lives with Benji's family now, she no longer has family of her own. Tyrannus lies her head on the grass dejectedly and sees a puddle in front of her. She looks at her reflection and finally sees the monster she's become over the course of her life. After this discovery, she begins thinking about what she did, but doesn't believe she's ready to redeem herself yet. She shuts her eyes and has flashbacks of all the pain and trauma she caused while ruling as a despot.

Her thoughts are interrupted when she hears footsteps approaching her. She looks up to see a Fairy-type Silvally standing over her. Tyrannus becomes puzzled upon noticing that the newcomer is holding a pink toy in her mouth. The other Silvally drops the toy at her feet, prompting Tyrannus to ask what she's doing. The newcomer introduces herself as Mimi, replying that Bruce is telling everyone about Tyrannus' history. Mimi informs Tyrannus that Bruce and a few of the others believe it's time to show her what community means. She tells her that the toy in front of her is a squeaker toy that looks like a cupcake. Even more bewildered, Tyrannus asks what a cupcake is. Mimi, shocked, replies that Tyrannus must have had a very hard life to not know what a cupcake is.

Diaval and a few other Silvally from the herd approach them. Tyrannus stands up, asking what they want. Diaval disbelievingly asks if she really doesn't know what a cupcake is. Rolling her eyes in annoyance, Tyrannus confirms it, admitting she's never even tasted anything sweet. In shock, Diaval asks where she's been all her life. Two other Silvally look at him. Tyrannus begins to snap at him, but the Soothe Bell on her neck chimes and calms her down. She growls that she indeed has had a difficult life and admits she has sometimes contemplated suicide, stunning everyone.

Benji, overhearing this, rushes over and asks if it's true. Tyrannus asks what the point of him knowing is, believing no one will support her for her crimes. Benji, angered, tells her to stop thinking like that since things will change over time. Tyrannus counters that things will never change, adding that people tend not to forgive someone who tried to gas them with carbon monoxide. To her irritation, Benji and the others believe she'll be forgiven eventually. Mimi tells Tyrannus she's starting a socialization exercise and instructs her to pick up the squeaker toy in her mouth. Confused, Tyrannus asks how doing so will show her what community means.

### **Chapter 55**

A few days later, Tyrannus is woken up by Miriam, who tells her that Benji's waiting for her. Tyrannus goes to where Benji is, and he reveals that there are two visitors waiting for her outside. He walks her to the door and opens it. Much to her horror, Tyrannus sees Mona and Margot standing on the porch. Benji ushers her outside so she can talk with the sisters, who stare at her. Tyrannus coldly asks why they're here, to which Mona says she and Margot forgive her for killing their mother. Tyrannus recalls the memory, now realizing it was wrong, apologizes to the sisters. Confused, she then asks why they'd forgive her, to which Margot says that they're nice people and it's the right thing to do instead of seeking vengeance. Mona adds that it's what their mother would want. Understanding, Tyrannus opens her mouth to dismiss them when Mona says they want her to come with them to get her to see perspective as a personal punishment. The Silvally tells them she'll have to ask Benji's family first.

However, Benij reveals himself, telling them he heard the conversation and he'll let Tyrannus go, to which she doesn't comment. He tells her to go with the sisters immediately, much to their delight, and gives them the harness, her photo album, and Memory bag. He bids Tyrannus goodbye and shuts the door. Mona tells Tyrannus to pack her belongings, but she replies she doesn't have any. The sisters put her harness on and walk her to their pick-up truck, where she has to sit in the back. As they drive off with her, Tyrannus looks back at Benji's house and reflects on the impact he's had on her.

Some time later, they arrive at the sisters' new home, where they take Tyrannus in immediately to show her where she'll be sleeping. Tyrannus asks about their father, and Margot reveals they never had a father. Remembering the other Silvally training her to be sociable, Tyrannus expresses her sympathy for the sisters while remembering the loss of her own father. Both the sisters are touched by the remark and wholeheartedly thank her. Margot notices the Soothe Bell Tyrannus is wearing and asks her about it. Tyrannus tells her Benji forced it on her to make her less aggressive.

## **Known Moves**

### **Normal-type**

**Headbutt:** The user sticks out its head and attacks by charging straight into the target. This may also make the target flinch. Tyrannus lowers her head and charges, ramming the opponent with it.

**Multi-Attack:** The signature move of her species. Cloaking itself in powerful energy, the user slams into the target to inflict damage. This move's type changes depending on the kind of memory disc held by the user. Tyrannus' body becomes covered in a colored aura and she either strikes the opponent with her claws or slams into the opponent with her full body. The move's type and aura's color depend on what memory Tyrannus is holding. If her primary type is Normal, the aura is white and the move deals Normal-type damage.

**Hyper Beam:** The target is attacked with a powerful beam. The user can't move on the next turn. Tyrannus fires a powerful white beam of energy from her mouth at the opponent. She is then unable to move for a short period.

### **Cecilia**

Tyrannus had a strained relationship with her mother due to her constant abuse and neglect, which ultimately proved to be the latter's undoing.

## **Personality**

As a human, she was selfish, cold, and distant, traits she inherited from her mother; it was also a result of early childhood trauma. The only person she respected was her father, and she was devastated at witnessing his untimely death. She was cunning and manipulative, willing to do whatever it took to get what she needed or wanted.

Ruthless, barbaric, and temperamental with no concern for her subordinates or enemies. Enjoys taunting people, picking fights with them, verbally and physically abusing them, and making them suffer. Very cocky, belligerent, reckless, and power-hungry. Loves battling and gets more excited the stronger her opponent; however, she is overconfident when it comes to picking these fights, to which as a Legendary she usually wins easily, resulting in her underestimating her opponents. Also very short-tempered, hot-headed, entitled, and prone to temper tantrums when things don't go according to plan. Loves to dole out vicious, unjust punishments to those who don't follow her strict rules and is greedy for money. Is also very destructive; enjoys wrecking things and making messes. Treats everyone and everything around her like her personal property. She loathes children, especially young ones, though she hypocritically tends to act childishly herself. Enjoys forcing people to do things they don't want to or can't and mocking them for it. Is very vocal and loud about her feelings and opinions. Rules her people with an iron fist since she knows she can get away with it. Comes to despise everything about her life.

However, she loses many of these traits and gains the opposite ones instead after meeting and traveling with Benji.
