A/N: This is kittypirate17 here as a quest writer for Shojogurl! She has given me special permission to write chapters featuring my female villain Comet. I like to swear a lot in the majority of my fics, but out of respect for the authoress I shall tone it down to her approved "Hell" and "Damn". Enjoy!
Millions of years ago, there was a
spark of energy that created the universe. This happened due to a
small electric charge that collided with a mass of dark energy. The
spark had purified part of the darkness, making it into light energy.
However, it also gave the dark energy that remained a solid body. The
form in which the darkness chose to take was that of a female, with
light purple skin; blood red eyes that had no remorse or conscience
behind them; a slightly darker shade of purple than her skin took the
form of her hair, long and silky smooth. The female form had small
and thin lips that were painted crimson. Her clothes consisted of a
dark purple metallic form fitting body suit and matching boots.
The
moment she awoke, she began to eat entire galaxies in a single gulp.
Much like a black hole, she sucked up everything in sight. Contrary
to her abilities, she chose the name "Comet" for herself. When
she was finished eating one galaxy, she would go back to endless
sleep until she was hungry enough to eat the next unfortunate galaxy
she was in at the time. During her sleep mode, she would surround
herself with dark energy and cast herself speeding off into space
(people would often mistake her as a comet, so she stuck with that).
She could have been sleeping for a few years, millennia, or perhaps
even millions of years before she reached a planet that suited her
fancy.
Her burning yet icy gaze set her sights on that lone planet
and licking her lips at the taste of the sweet surrender that was the
growling in her stomach being satisfied until she reached bigger and
better galaxies whet her appetite even more. She released her dark
energy ball from around her and placed it in front of her stomach,
where the dark energy got bigger and bigger until she could hear the
air sucking in debris that was surrounding the planet.
The moon
followed in the debris' footsteps, only stopping at the mouth of
the dark energy; waiting for it to get bigger as Comet put in more
energy to make the void bigger. She could feel the faint existence of
fear coming from the planet: they knew that their world was about to
come to an end.
The pull of the void was getting the better of the
planet's gravity, sucking it into itself as she saw a single
starship leave the planet. She immediately stopped sucking the
lifeless entity and pursued the fleeing starship, only to be captured
and gassed out cold.
She awoke in a strange room, with an
assortment of monitors protruding from the walls and one main one
that came down from the ceiling. A man with a terrible hairstyle and
dark sunglasses came on the screen and said
"Well now that you
are awake, I am the Customer Services Manager of Holy Nightmare
Enterprises. We have been tracking you for quite some time, Miss
Comet."
With a snakelike, yet regal voice she said,
"Yes, as I have been
moving constantly throughout this universe I have felt someone
following me. What is it you want from me?" she demanded with her
eyes blazing with her icy fury.
"Well, it is very simple
really: we want to offer you a job doing what you do best. We would
like you to completely destroy the home planets of our clients who
are unable to pay for our services. We are in the business of making
monsters, you see" a video of the current monster in progress came
on screen, limp as a wet noodle.
"I have no desire or intention
to be made a corporate dog!" she roared as she tried to summon her
dark energy, but instead of the expected surge of energy a shockwave
surged through her body. She let out a yelp of pain: something she
was quite unfamiliar with until now. When the electric shocks were
over, she heaved
"What…what the hell did you do to me?!" With a smirk on his face, the manager said,
"We just attached a device to your back that constantly siphons your dark energy and pumps it into the monsters." the lifeless monster came back on screen now, and Comet saw that the small amount of dark energy that had been placed in the beasts body had invigorated it, making it rage to life. The manager came back on and laughed
"See what just that small amount of dark energy did for that monster?" Through gritted teeth, Comet cursed under her breath
"Damn you! Coward! Come out and fight me like a man!" she got up and made a pained attempt to stand on her own two feet. The manager's screen had fizzed off, and he came to meet her face to face. She was surprised to see such a short man, and she burst out laughing.
"How'd a midget
turn into the Customer Service Manager?!" she was laughing so hard
that her sides hurt and collapsed to the floor again, but this time
was in a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
The manager grew agitated
with her and kicked her in the ribs, she however was still laughing
at him. He straddled her stomach and grabbed at the collar of her
outfit
"You need to learn
self control! If you go around eating entire galaxies like you are
now, then there will eventually be no more to eat!"
She kicked
him off of her quickly, and glared at him with fire and brimstone in
her eyes.
"Don't you think I
know that?! That day scares me to bits! Right next to being confined
in one place for long periods of time!"
The manager got up and
put his glasses back on, walking away from her saying
"For the time when you are not on a mission to either collect money owed or totally destroy the planet you will be my assistant, answering phones and such." he produced a dark purple woman's business suit, with the skirt stopping at mid-thigh and matching heels
"This shall be your
work uniform. Your hair is to be tied back in a bun during business
hours, and you will wear these dark rimmed glasses." he placed them
outside of the door and gave her a moment to change.
She hated not
being able to retaliate against the manager, but she would have to
endure it. She took the clothes that he had provided her and put them
on. They fit loosely around her figure, and it felt oddly comfortable
to be out of her form fitting outfit. She did her hair in a bun as
was required of her and placed the glasses on her face. It was true
that she could see more clearly with them on, but her eyes were not
used to such light. When preparations for her new life were complete,
she opened the door and said "Well, are you going to show me to my
living quarters or not?"
"It would be advised that you not
speak to me in such a tone. I am now your boss, and you shall treat
me as such" he led her to a room with fine furnishings, the best in
silk sheets and full of pretties, porcelain figures lined the shelves
of ballerinas and clowns. She shuttered at the clowns, and she saw a
mirror for the first time in her long life. "This is your new room.
The closet holds casual clothes for you, and the vanity has an
assortment of the finest make-up in the universe."
He then led
her to the dining area, where an empty plate and silverware were set
for her.
"Since you are not accustomed to human ways of eating, I must familiarize you with the usage of silverware." he picked up a rounded one and explained.
"This is a spoon. It is used to eat foods such as soups and ice-cream." he put that down and picked up one that looked like a pitchfork, but it had and extra prong on it.
"This is a fork,
used to pick up solid foods such as steak and other meats." he
picked up a long, sharp piece of silverware and said "this is a
knife, it is used in combination with the fork to cut the big pieces
into bite size ones so that we don't choke on them."
She
wanted to call him an imbecile, to tell him that he needn't speak
to her as if she were a child. But she bit her lip and tongue so that
not even a defiant word escaped her lips. The manager saw this, and
congratulated her on her first display of self-control.
"That is enough for
tonight, but after business hours you shall train with our exercise
monster in the art of kukuri blades. Since your dark energy will be
sucked out of you constantly to prevent any form of mutiny against
the company, you must have some way of assassinating those who can't
pay for their monsters. These blades will be dropped to you from a
space ship once you have landed on the target planet. For the time
being, you shall train with harmless pool noodles made of foam. Get
plenty of rest, tomorrow you start as my assistant at 9AM sharp. Your
clock has already been preset to go off at the time of 7:30 so that
you have ample time to complete your preparations for your work day"
he walked out of her room, leaving her to wallow in her own self
pity.
When he was finally gone, she rushed to the bathroom to open
her mouth where a small amount of blood came out. In her anger, she
had bit into the top surface of her tongue and caused it to bleed
ever so slightly. She said to herself (though directed at the
manager)
"You think that you
have broken me? I swear revenge for this atrocity, these shackles of
imprisonment you have imposed upon me, but worst of all is that you
speak to me as if I am an invalid" she reached to the device that
was draining her of her dark energy and for the first time, she felt
regret. Regret for not finishing off that starship when she had the
chance, not out of anger did she feel this, but out of sadness. The
reason that she made sure to kill each and every last living thing in
a galaxy so that not a single being would have to carry the burden of
being the last of its kind.
"On my honor, I will one day exact
my revenge on this wretched company."
I hope that you enjoyed this bonus chapter written by my wonderful awesome friend Kittypirate17! Comet is essentially the enemy for Nova, and I have a feeling that she will be causing a lot of trouble for our friends…
