Protecting the World from Monsters

Spoilers: 3x10 Mid-Season Finale

Disclaimer: I own nothing...

His host buried himself away, silent for days after the confrontation with the newborn girl. The only time the host gave any indication of existing was when he was taunted, told that the girl would become a beautiful, ethereal queen over the entire planet. Rage would rise and the host would respond viciously, determined to protect the girl from the one who controlled him. In time he was sure the host would learn his place, to be silent and just watch the world as it passed him by.

The girl returned only days later, others with her but their power was nothing compared to hers. One a newborn but the other merely an infant, only a few years past his Terrigenesis. They fought with everything they had but a wave of the hand defected everything they threw his way. It was like watching children fight over nothing, they were children in a war they knew nothing about. A flick of the hand had all three on their knees, unable to move or even speak. It was the moment he'd seize what he wanted, the girl who would become his beautiful queen.

Just as he reached for her cheek his hand paused midair, nothing would move it and he heard the voice of his host. The girl was able to move, his power no longer having a hold on her.

"Take your team and go, I'll hold him off as long as I can."

The girl rose quickly to her feet and beckoned both men. They followed quickly and she turned at the last moment, a gentleness in her eyes. "I'll find some way to save you."

"Just destroy it." The voice of his host strained as he began regaining control. "Destroy me so neither of us can hurt you."

The infant urged the girl to go as the host lost control, diving back into the depths of his existence within. He wished to destroy the host for taking away his queen, for allowing her to escape but he needed the host as it made him stronger than ever before. Previous hosts were all weak compared to the one he was in but he desired to hurt the host somehow, to teach it a lesson for interfering.

I told you I would never let you touch her.

"She is mine!" His voice a near yell, he craved her at that moment.

No, she belongs to no one, especially a monster like you. I will protect her and unless you are willing to find another host, which I know you aren't, you will never touch her.

The advanced senses he held picked up on a single fact, one he knew he could harm the host with. So, with punishment in mind he shared the knowledge of what his sense of smell had gleaned from those who had just been present. "The girl and the infant have been together, she holds his scent on her. She betrays you with another, does not stay true to you. Can't you see she is not worth your loyalty."

I hope he loves her more than I ever did because she deserves more love than anyone else in the world. If he makes her happy, makes her feel loved then I'll gladly protect them both. I won't let you touch them; I won't let you destroy her happiness.

Anger surged through him, his host would not be hurt by the girl's betrayal. Instead he found happiness in the fact she was with another, his protection extending to the infant. It was as if his host couldn't be angered by anything except a danger to the girl. The memories and emotions the host held were impossible to reach, locked too far in the strong mind. It was a realization that he would always be fighting his host, that as long as he stayed where he was he'd have moments where the host controlled him.

I told you I'm not someone you want to fight.

"When I find one stronger than you I will leave you to die alone. You will never see your precious girl again, you will never protect her and one day she will be my queen. I shall give her the world, her every wish and desire will be met and she will rule over our people."

His host laughed at the words he spoke, as if he found the truth humorous. Never had a host dared to laugh at him but then again, no host had ever been able to fight as long as the one he was in. His host seemed to just continue laughing, not believing the words he spoke.

You think she wants the world, wants to have everything given to her? Let me tell you something about her. She would die before she allowed herself to destroy other people. She has a pure heart that desires to help those in need, she doesn't want to rule over them. She'd rather work for the things she desires, never one to take a handout. I assure you she'd sacrifice herself to protect the world from you. So again I tell you she will never be your queen.

"I will have her and I think I will keep you alive after I find a new host just to see you suffer as she becomes mine."

I'll kill you if you try to keep me alive after you leave my body. The only way to prevent me from killing you is to either possess my body or destroy us both. I will find a way to destroy you, even if it means dying myself.

"You make me laugh Host, you will never be able to kill me. None can, I have been killed thousands of times but it is only the host who suffers the death. You live after you were killed, you now are alive again but you shall never possess this body of your own free will again. Even after I leave you I shall control you."

We'll see about that.

A/N: I thought I'd add this, I don't know how far this story will go so enjoy each chapter as it comes.
