Paragon State University, Paragon City

Okris dodged another blast of plasma, frustrated beyond belief by the temerity of the savage attacking it. It was far more important than any savage on this horrid mudball of a planet, and they deserved to be conquered.

Beneath its rage was fear, though. Its physical attacks thus far had been destroyed by the waves of surging plasma that shrouded the savage, and it couldn’t come even close to the creature’s mind, which limited what it could do greatly. Even worse, the savage was determined not to let Okris get away, as he had blocked every attempt to retreat that Okris had made.

Now Okris’s exoskeleton was cracked, and it was running out of ideas with which to deal with the savage, while the burns were doing worrying things to its host. It needed a chance to escape, and was mostly hoping that some of the foolish ‘heroes’ of this world would arrive to give it an opportunity. That was part of why it had been deliberately ensuring that some of the savage’s blasts hit other buildings when it dodged.

Plasma blasted across the sky, and Okris channeled energy into a shield, bouncing the majority of the blast away from it and into a nearby clocktower, destroying half of its supports. The structure teetered, then slowly began to topple with an earthshaking crash. The dark-skinned savage didn’t seem to care, though, as it rushed after Okris unerringly.

The vibration from above wasn’t quite enough to distract Okris, not with potential death bearing down on it. The odd sounds that immediately preceded dozens of brass-armored figures landing all around the open area at the center of the university, though… that distracted Okris a little, as it internally grew confused. None of the savage ‘heroes’ it had learned about wore armor like that, and it couldn’t help growing more confused as it reached out to touch one of their minds, only to slam into a painful barrier of psychic energy blocking its touch.

“Ah, there you are!” a female voice exclaimed from behind, and Okris didn’t have time to act before pain suddenly wracked its senses, and it was thrown backward into an object hard.

Bright orange blood was leaking from its right leg, Okris realized a moment later, and the pain from its host had almost exceeded its ability to process the sensory input, something which shouldn’t have happened. The savage which had attacked it was standing only a few strides away, grinning at it viciously.

The tall female figure had black armor, and it wielded a deadly-looking, painful lash with triangular teeth and glowing red edges, while her dark hair was pulled back in a bun. She also was radiating pleasure at the pain she’d had caused, causing Okris to mentally recoil from the savage, as it felt far too similar to a Dominant for its taste.

“I thought that an alien was lurking about in the area,” the woman said, grinning at Okris. “Deal with the other one; this is mine.
