An Alien Comes... [Leta and Miranda]

[Deleted]

High above the bright blue sky, on the planet Earth, the stars do shine with a great light and make Earth ponderous. For what could be above the sky in outer space's reach? Nothing; Earth has thought or thinks. For life seems dead on many planets, but this not so true. One day, this day, in the year 2300, came falling from the sky a space pod from another world.
--

Leta could feel great turbulence as she approached the Earth. Her ship, under the Earth's gravity began to tear apart and she became slightly afraid she might not make it, but she did. She pulled through the fiery atmosphere and landed on another world. The only problem was as she opened her smoking space pod's door she could see no one around. The only thing she saw was a clear abundance of wild life such as deer and birds and the incredible new feature she had made with her ship when she let it drag through the soil and created, a long, three foot deep ditch. She stepped out anyway and stood around to await the coming of someone or something like herself. The reason why was that if the planet Earth had life it would surely have life forms like herself, sentient beings of some regard.

Miranda was surprisingly alone in the woods after she decided to let her master have some alone time. The young Makioshin wondered the woods slowly, with a blank, emotionless expression on her face. Her personality totally relied on the presence of others. What people did, help her determine what she was going to do. When the flaming ball of death came falling down, she couldnt help but smile.

'Finally! Someone to play with!', She thought to herself, running to where she expected the pod to land. She found her place next to a tree and leaned against it, watching the pod drag across the ground, creating a new ditch. She could barely contain her giggles as she watched the figure emerge from the pod. "Welcome to Earth!", Miranda exclaimed, throwing her arms up into the air.

Once Leta was out of the pod she immediately turned around upon hearing someone run up behind her and exclaim, "Welcome to Earth!" Her eyes focused on a strange young woman who looked to be ten years her junior. She wore a frilly skirt dress and a ribbon in her hair which was odd since Leta had never seen this kind of garb before. Yet she seemed humanoid enough.

"Hello," she voiced trying to speak as clearly as she could. She then grabbed the woman's hands in her own and forcefully attempted to bring them down to the lady's waist. She did not like people who got overly excited and this lady before her clearly expressed this emotion due to how fast she was talking. Leta knew it was an invasion of personal space but it had to be done even if it led to trouble on her first day visiting Earth.

The fact that the newcomer had forced Miranda to put her hands at her side. No one has ever touched her like this other than her master which caused curiosity to flow through the demon's mind. Her smile faded, leaving behind a bewildered face. "Where are you from?", Miranda said curiously, taking a step back. She remembered that not everyone was nice like Miranda was. She would have to know a little more about her before Miranda would trust her 100%. Even if she didn't, her overly trusting attitude toward seemingly nice people was pretty high.

She looked down, gently playing with a rock with her foot. "My name is Miranda! I am a Makioshin, but some people call us demons.", Miranda exclaimed, and for a moment, forgetting that this lady was not from Earth or Hell. "Have you seen Master Zhaiyu anywhere? I have only left him a alone for a few seconds, but I miss him." Miranda asked, looking around as if she were looking for her master. Then she remembered what she forgot, but she waited for what the new person had to say in response.

[Deleted]

Leta crossed her arms over her chest and watched the girl's face change dramatically after her prior action. 'Had she really caused her that much trouble?' she pondered this as the girl went from smiling to clear bewilderment, but only for a moment. It was hard to tell what the girl was trying to do in her presence that much was clear. It felt like she was welcoming Leta, but then why did she act so crazy?

Leta did not have time to ponder this for the girl shifted to asking her the question, "Where are you from?" as she then invaded Leta's space. She played around with a rock at her foot and all the while was too trusting as she told her who she was, what she was, and where she was from. After this mention of some kind of master named Zhaiyu came up and Leta wrinkled her nose.

"I'm sorry to tell you this," she took a step back, "but you're now in my space. Also Miranda, I've never heard of this master of yours, so please don't bother me. I can't help you find him right now. I, Leta Duran, have to figure out what Earth is like. Why? Cause I intend to live here quite a while."

That was indeed true as she puffed out her large chest proudly. There was no way she was going back to Kanassa ever, unless it was to kill the icky Kanassans on that planet. The psychic turtles had bothered her people for years and had taken care to get rid of all of her family during a thirty year war that lasted from 2270 up to the current date of 2300. Peace was still a very shaky thing on that planet and she only hoped she could find some here on Earth instead of war.

OOC: Actually, Miranda took a step back lol. ill just roll with it though
IC:

"Sorry.... I just get excited.." Miranda said looking down embarrassingly, stepping away from the newcomer. Miranda could now tell she was getting on the newcomer's nerves and did her best to mold her personality to a more tolerable level. She sighed deeply and looked back at her with a small smile. "No one's ever been offended by me before. Around you i'll try to be more calm.", Miranda stately coolly, puting her hands together behind her back.

"I didn't expect you to know who my master was, I just had to make sure.", Miranda added looking around. " But you still didn't answer my earlier questions. I also wish you a happy time here on Earth." She added, careful not to get overly excited and offend this lady again. She stopped playing with the rock and kicked it softly to the side.

[Deleted]

"All right, I'll answer your questions. Let's see, I come from the war torn Kanassa. It's a place far from here that's mostly barren except for the huge cities Kanassans and a bunch of other alien races live in. That said, they do exclude a few, like myself," she told Miranda as she folded her hands together in front of her, "simply for having psychic powers and not really using them. They're kind of rough too and deadly."

Leta smiled at the girl and asked, "But you and your master don't sound like the kind of people I think who would go around harming others."

(Sorry about that, and also the short posts. I want to build up a story and sometimes I feel if one writes too much they come to conclude their tale in one or two posts. I often do.)

[mirandafrost]

Her home was similar to Miranda's where pain, fear, and suffering ruled under the banner that was the Demon King, Zhaiyu. She felt none of this fear, pain, or suffering. She herself to.. love the world around her, be it a slaughterhouse or a piece of paradise like earth. This doesn't mean she didnt enjoy giving pain or suffering. She was a demon after all.

Miranda looked to the side, not wanting to see the probable dissapointed look on her face when Miranda would burst her bubble. "About that.... I am a Demon. My Master is the Demon King. We both have killed our fair share of beings. What makes me different from the rest is my personality. It has multiple facets on the surface and many more in the middle. I have every emotion and I can emulate any thought process, but it all depends on who is around me. People have told me that i'm like a zombie without anyone around, so I try and be with my master as much as possible. I'm only nice because you yourself are." Miranda explained with an embarrassed smile. She took anothier step back in precaution should the newcomer attack her for what was said. She felt a pang of guilt run through her, but she easily dismissed it. Miranda found herself playing with the ribbon in her hair out of nervousness of what the psychic might do in response.

[Deleted]

Listening to Miranda's response, her revealing herself as a demon made Leta ponder what such a thing was. She stood there as she took in that her master Zhaiyu was a demon king and that she and he were both cold blooded killers of a sort. She glared at her possible new friend and furrowed her eye brows at her for one main reason though, her emotions.

"So you're saying that you might be emulating my emotions? Copying my feelings to fit the conversation?" Leta's voice began to grow louder and although she was not sure how strong Miranda was her smile made Leta feel even worse. The fact she was stepping back as though she wanted to leave Leta made her think it was time to end the conversation between them.

She gathered her ki up from within her body and focused it solely into into eyes. This caused them to glow red and as they she gazed upon her slinking foe and uttered, "You will look into my eyes, see them, praise them, love them, and once you have you will surrender your evil self to my power. I command you for I am Leta Duran, your new master."

There was no way she was about to let Miranda off after what she had just told her. The fact she had the ability to copy emotions and use them in the presence of others seemed a bit hard to believe, but it almost sounded like she might have psychic powers. She was not about to let this girl control her, even if it killed her for she had come to realize in her life other races with psychic powers just tended to hurt you. No matter how strong this girl was she would do her best here and now to subdue her and then decide what to do with her from then. But only if she could make the girl follow her commands.

Unfortunately, the technique she was using Saimin no Jutsu, was not a very strong psychic technique the reason being was that if her power level was too low compared to this girl's she would not become hypnotized. She prayed that demons were weaklings despite the sound of the titles Miranda had just given for herself and Zhaiyu. If Zhaiyu was a king she was his servant and servants were not usually weak if they worked for royalty. The worst case scenario for this situation would be if she could not resist though that likely Leta could distract and subdue her with a subsquent attack.

But if that failed, well, she would possibly be getting a beating. It all depended on the will of her foe. It was kind of unfair Leta realized as she continued to focus her ki energy into Miranda's gaze as best she could. The girl did not seem to be directly looking at her which was the unfair part because she did not know thanks to this the full extent of her attack.

[mirandafrost]

Miranda was already cautious when she spoke about her identity, so when she sensed the lady concentrating Ki into her eyes, she acted. She moved quickly and briefly, leaving the image of herself at the same position she was at while she moved behind her listening to he from behind her. Miranda wore a frown as she did in disbelief. "Um, no. You are not my Master and shame on you for claiming to be. I was being nice. If I wanted to kill you either we would be fighting as soon as you stepped from your ship thingy or I would have blasted you from the sky.", Miranda stately grimmly with her former spark replaced by a more serious one.

"If Zhaiyu were here, he would have taken that as a challenge. Sadly he isn't so I will have to fight on his behalf" Miranda declared, leaping backward. This Leta would pay for taking advantage of Miranda's abundant trust. She took half a moment to sense and analyze her enemy, generalizing that she was around her level in power. Miranda wanted to win quickly and decisively, so she created a ring of energy that floated in front of Miranda. The ring would compress any energy that miranda would deposit into the ring to a single point. When she deemed it right, she would slightly release some of the crushing pressure that the ring was inflicting onto the gathered energy, causing it to burst foreward in the form of an energy wave.
If it hit, Leta would be severely injured, but not killed. Chances are that she would not be able to fight if it hit unless she could regenerate, but even if she could it would give Miranda an edge in the fight. Of course the attack was taxing. She could not use it more than twice per battle without causing herself to pass out herself. If it missed, Leta would have the advantage until Miranda decided to shift into her true form.

Miranda smirked menacingly as she released her blast toward Leta, hoping to end the battle as soon as it began. The attack was more complicated in appearance than most, and that complexity and beauty was revered by the lesser demons she fought. 'You will look into the eye of the beam and you will praise it, love it, and once you feel its burn you will surrender as I decide your fate!', she said dominantly in her mind , mocking what the alien said earlier.

((OOC: go ahead and dodge it if you want. it's mainly a finishing move so its mainly used to finish off opponents. your character is probably not fatigued yet so she should be able to dodge.))

[Deleted]

Leta poured more and more ki into her dark brown eyes, but unfortunately her efforts did not pay off. Miranda seemed to be un-phased by it. For a second, Leta's foe seemed to move on a whim; although, she suddenly stopped and just stood there. Leta had no idea she was looking at an after image of the girl before suddenly hearing her voice from behind.

"Um, no. You are not my Master and shame on you for claiming to be. I was being nice. If I wanted to kill you either we would be fighting as soon as you stepped from your ship thingy or I would have blasted you from the sky." Leta could not believe this her foe was now somehow in front of her and behind her as she spoke.

Leta responded by bending knees slightly and raising both her arms up in front of her so that they would help block either side of the front of her chest from incoming physical assault. Her long dress blew in the wind as she grew slightly more tense than before. She did not expect the girl to attack with anything more than physical attacks right off the bat. She really had no idea what she was up against though and as the girl's fake image began to fade before her she heard Miranda leap backwards and land somewhere behind her.

She was indeed behind her as she continued speaking these words, ""If Zhaiyu were here, he would have taken that as a challenge. Sadly he isn't so I will have to fight on his behalf." It was likely she was going to tell her master about this incident if Leta managed to survive, but the likely hood of that was... Well, Leta did not know.

All she could hear though after this was the sound of a tremendous amount of crackling energy as a huge energy disk floated over the top of the back of her head, a ball of energy forming at its center Seconds later the sound of a shooting bullet rang in Leta's ears as this energy hurtled towards her in the form of a wave. Due to the distance between them, Leta had no time to dodge as the wave slammed into her spine and knocked her to the ground.

"AH!!!!" she screamed as she used her will power to try and survive the wave's assault. The problem was her body was rather weak, all Psyrans had weak bodies in their basic forms or so their legends said. Thanks to this, the attack seared her skin quite badly and left it blackened. If the energy from this attack dissipated soon, Miranda would see Leta on her hands and knees. She would clearly see she had survived the attack, but only because of the slightly power difference between them. It was this power that allowed her to barely survive an attack that would instantly kill weaker foes.

She hoped some evil in the universe had not made this demon Miranda much stronger than Leta was. Otherwise, she was sure to die from this encounter. But that was only if Miranda could fire off another blast like the one Leta would barely endure.

(This is your character's finishing move and Miranda and Leta have equal power so that would be unfair. I'm going to have Leta take this full force and have it scar Leta's back. Hope it makes sense.)

[mirandafrost]

The attack was a success, but it took a lot out of Miranda. If she wanted to go to sleep now, it wouldn't take long before she was unconcious. Miranda couldn't believe that Leta was still in fighting condition, despite having taken her most powerful attack. Miranda had never heard a scream like hers and winced from hearing it. It made her feel sorry for her, but she had insulted her master and she had to pay. She smiled slightly and relaxed her body, breathing in and out slowly.

"I guess I'm not Zhaiyu am I? I'm more merciful than he is so I will not strike you like you are like that.", Miranda stated with a casual giggle, almost as if she was willing to forget that she tried to claim the position as Miranda's master. She was merciful as she was forgiving, despite her evil nature. It was what struck fear into many demons, the ability to change from a relentless assault to a calm, forgetting personality and back again.

"I understand that you must be furious at me for attacking you from your back, so I would understand if you want to pay me back. For this reason I will try not to use my true form. If you don't want to continue i could take you to the nearest city! Human culture is soooo fun and interesting! I'll think you'll like it." Miranda continued blabbering excitedly, forgetting the brief action prior. She loved the human shops, the food, the clothes. It was all amazing! It wasn't anything you can find in the underworld.

[Deleted]

Leta dragged herself to her feet, blushed, and uttered, "You may have nearly vaporized me from behind but I think continuing now for me would be dumb." Her hands wrapped around the front of her dress, acting as the only thing holding it together still. Miranda's attack had completely destroyed her clothes and with a destroyed ship her poverty situation was even worse.

She tied the back end of her dress down, what was left of it, and made it a a very open dress at the back. "Take me to the human cities nearby and we'll forget this ever happened. I cannot fly there or anything, so I hope you have a transport. I now intend to serve you since you clearly have some great potential combat wise, if that's what you intend to go do for a long while."

She smiled at Miranda and felt quite happy. Mainly because she was being merciful. This girl could clearly wipe her off the planet if she had reserve power within herself she had yet to use. Although, Miranda was quite short, so it made her wonder just how much more power she could have.

[mirandafrost]

Miranda smiled when she was willing to call off the fight. Miranda didn't want to kill her because she was so nice. Perhaps they could be friends? Miranda was sure Zhaiyu would not mind. He was quite the laid back king.

Miranda watched as she made what was left of her dress more stable for temporary usage. She was definitely going to need a new dress, or shirt, or whatever she wanted. "Serving me means you serve Master Zhaiyu. I really don't suggest it for you but I can't keep you away. As for a transport.. I have none, but I can fly!" Miranda said excitedly, launching herself at the alien, hugging her tightly, but then she remembered she didn't like people in her space so she released her and backed away.

"Sorry. Just got excited. Anyways, I can fly you to the nearest city where you can get a new dress or have this one repaired or both. i'll pay for whichever one you choose." Miranda offered with a gentle smile. She really was excited for her and slightly envious. The feeling of trying something new was extraordinary as it was exhilarating. She had the feeling that they would be good friends.
