Planet N'Vorkel, Andromeda Galaxy
All was as it usually was on the planet of N'Vorkel. The inhabited areas were bustling with activity, or full of sleepy silence. Nobody was paying attention to the Ruins of the Ancient City of Edl'brd, except for the vermin scavengers. Nobody noticed a small figure descending from space, landing just outside Edl'brd.
It was a young humanoid girl with short purple hair, large purple eyes, and pale grey skin. She had a red gem on her forehead. She wore a blackish-blue leotard with long sleeves and no legs, a dark blue cloak with a gold-and-ruby pin, a gold-and-ruby belt, and dark blue ruffled boots.
The girl was Rachel Roth, better known as Raven, was a famous intergalatic outlaw. She was the half-Azarathian daughter of Trigon the Terrible, the King of Demonicus, and was the only half-demon half-human hybrid in the Universe. She had a variety of powers. Amongst them were empathy, telekinesis, telepathy, magic, phasing, teleportation, levitation, and the ability to split into up to nine different versions of herself.
As Raven looked at the Ruins of Edl'brd, a rare smile flickered on her face. This was just too easy. Sure, there were booby-traps, but she could fly right over them. She rose off the ground and glided over the demolished path, into the ruins.
The ruins were said to contain an ancient artifact hidden inside a force field. A collecter had informed Raven that if she could steal him the artifact, he would pay her 50 billion credits. So now Raven was looking for it. She could sense an area of massive energy a few feet away from her, and turned to see a force field containing a cube to her left. She opened a portal under the cube and another over her hands, and the cube fell into her hands.
"Why does he want this?" murmured Raven, studying the cube. She couldn't see anything special about it. She shrugged, and said, "Oh, well. Not my business. 50 billion credits, here I come!" She turned to leave...
And found three Demon warriors standing behind her.
The Demons were feared throughout the universe, but none so feared as their leader, Trigon. Raven was a Demon as well, but also was an Azarathian, due to her mother being from the planet Azarath. The Demons were always trying to find something to make their leader more powerful.
Just my luck! she thought. They just have to come here while I'm stealing an artifact! My luck sucks.
The Demons were pointing their weapons at Raven. She tried to teleport away, but something about the cube was messing with her powers. It had to be involve holding it, or she wouldn't have been able to get it out of the force field with her powers in the first place. Without her powers, Raven was left with three options: Surrender, Fight, or Flee. Guess which one she chose?
She whirled around and ran as fast as she could through the ruins. The Demons were surprised into giving her a five second headstart before chasing after her. She ran as fast as she could through the maze of broken walls, and eventually came to a dead end. Desperately, she set the cube down and opened a portal, then picked the cube back up. The portal remained open.
But just she was about to step through, a demon yelled behind her, "HALT, RACHEL ROTH!"
Raven froze. "It's... Raven, now," she said. The demon said, "Your father commands that we bring that cube to him. Give it to us, and your life may yet be spared."
"Yeah, about that," said Raven, "you can't kill me. My hybrid combination makes me almost immortal, remember? See ya!" With that she leapt through the portal. It closed the moment she passed through, but there was enough time for her to hear the demons bellow, "RACHEL!"
Raven smiled and shook her head. Sending mere soldiers to retrieve an object of apparently immense importance to him, again? After the last many times Raven had gotten away with what they were sent to obtain? Father was never going to learn.
