Hundreds of creatures were gathered here. They were black and spherical, each as big as an one stores house, wig yellow petal like feelers and a single red eye, Dark matter. They were packed so closely together they looked like a black halo and in the center was another being. It was also spherical and had a single blood red eye like its subjects however it was four times their size, a deceiving lay white colour and lacked yellow petals. This was Zero, the creator of the Dark matter.
"We are gathered here today for a special event", his voice was emotionless and calm yet still boomed around the surrounding area. The Dark matter sent a wave of telepathic messages that were the equivalent to clapping.
"I will bestow upon one of your fellow Dark matter a greater power than that which you now posses and he shall become my second in command and assist me".
There was another telepathic applause.
Zero closed his eye in concentration before sending his own telepathic wave,"Come to me". It travelled through out all the Dark matter present. It was ice cold and enveloped their entire being but to them it was a comfort being able to feel their master so clearly. It did not stop until it reached its destination, a Dark matter around the back left its cluster and floated towards Zero in the center.
This one in particular was. One of the oldest of its brethren and had done well in its duties, getting rid of a planet's happiness until they were ready for Zero's consumption. It could feel its brother' sand sister's congratulations and inwardly swelled with pride at having earned its masters favour. As it came to a stop in front of him Zero's closed eye snapped open releasing a blinding white light that immersed the single Dark matter. The light grew darker and wider, more corrupted, as the Dark matter screamed in pain from the power being forced into its body. All the while it's brethren watched in awe. The light had turned completely black by the time the transformation ended and the screams faded away.
At first the transformed Dark matter greatly resembled its original appearance except it had now doubled in size and its petals turned a dark purple colour. Soon, however, another transformation started. It's body began shrinking and turning gaseous until it was only a fraction of its true size and it had a new body shape, it's top even had wild untamed spikes like hair. It now sported a full body cloak with shoulder pads held together by a chain and its eye appeared to be a blue colour from behind its new goggles. Hung at its side was a sheathed broad sword almost as long as it was. It began examining it'd new body, it was several times smaller than its old one but it felt just as many times more powerful. Once it was done with its inspection it faced its master once more and bowed before him like a knight before his king.
"I now dub you Dark matter swordsman", Zero said.
"I thank you for this great honer, master Zero", it responded with its new voice. It was swelling with pride again, it had always gone by the collective name a Dark matter never did it consider having its own.
"Your duties will include your previous ones of finding and prepping inhabited planets however you will also be expected to prep all planets with inhabitants of considerable power and to assign other Dark matter likewise".
"And I shall make sure not to disappoint you Master".
