Location: Somewhere in the Outer Rim of our Solar System, The Awesomeverse
Earth Date/Time: Unestimated
Hiding behind the dark side of the gas giant planet of Jupiter, a massive spaceship orbited slowly and silently, an octahedron of pyramided cubes, each one ten metres tall and wide. Upon the top of the ship, within the highest, single cube was the court of the Princess of Darkness; a beastly beauty, feminine yet menacing, slouched back upon her equally elegant throne which cast a protective shadow over her form sans her red left hand rhythmically tapping a sharp nail on the armrest.
In front of her on the other side of the room, a metallic lift door split opened with a subtle clatter, revealing a tall, lanky, hunched-over, mechanised reptilian-like creature in armour of both chromed gold and dulled grey, carrying with one hand an equally long and elaborately designed staff. This being marched out of the lift and into the room, and then bowed down to one knee before the throne.
"Princess Xyza, my Lord Mistress," the gold and grey warrior beast greeted, its 'mouth' slathered with a clogged voice. "I've come with some less than stellar news."
"Report, Tempahk," the dark princess spoke with a calm yet very unsettling tone.
"Construction on the Trans-Universal Spacebridge as well as testing of Project Damocles 2.0 have been temporarily delayed due to a recent and sudden conflict on the moon of Europa," Tempahk explained. Its body slightly quivered and tightened and its glowing red slit eyes narrowed and shrank. "Resources are running scarce as we speak."
"Is that so...?" Xyza sighed, pausing her tapping talon. Her irises glowed a blood-red through her long onyx-black hair. "It seems what they say about the champion they call Linkara might be true after all. And what of the warrior known as BigJackFilms?"
"His current specific whereabouts remain uncertain," Tempahk hissed. "Should I contact the Red Shadows to help deal with the Anorak and his own allies on Earth in the meantime?"
"Permission granted then," the dark princess waved off. "Set loose the Red Shadows upon the world as they may please. I shall send word to the Daleks, the Fire Nation, and the Yellow Lantern Corps to take care of these mortal earth warriors afterwards... The time to reveal ourselves will come again... Very soon!"
The darkly mistress soon formed a grin before letting out a deep and subtle cackle that echoed through the entire court.
To be continued...
