Two dark purple heels, worn by mechanical legs, followed by a slit dress of the same obscure iliac, showing the wearer's majestic curves, a white cape and a fluffy hat with three feathers and a black veil, covering the woman's face, entered a large, well decorated room. A chess patterned floor with a clean, white and yellow carpet towards a golden table. The walls were bright yellow and dark red, showing the power of who lives in this place. The woman stepped forward, the giant green gun with a round drum making her recognizable from miles.

"Dahlia!" Said an old raspy and tired voice. At the golden table was a rotting corpse. His skin was dripping from his face, he trembled at each second, feeling cold and exposed, despite the expensive black suit he wore "You finally came"

"Yes. What is it that you want Lorenzo?" She greeted right as the sound of an explosion went off in the distance.

"That" The man pointed up "That right there. I don't know what's happening, but to be so loud, it certainly isn't good. I want you to take some people and check whatever it is that's causing this" He slammed his fist into the table, immediately regretting his decision.

A smile appeared on the woman's dark veil "So you want me to deal with this problem by any means necessary?"

"Yes, Dahlia. Any means" Lorenzo said in an annoyed tone.

"Just making sure" She turned away and laughed.

Before the woman could get to the elevator on the other side, the wall on their left exploded into debris, taking the attention of both of them. As the dust started settling, a large figure hovered inside the room.

"Stand ready for my arrival, worms" A raspy and deep voice took over the place.

From the hole in the wall came a big old man. He had a scar on his face that went through his blind right eye and to the top of his head, missing hair that covered the sides and his upper lips. He wore a full body white and grey suit with a strange symbol on his chest. Like the woman, the older man also had a missing arm, his being replaced with a yellow gauntlet.

"I am Conquest, and I'm here to conquer this planet in the name of the Viltrum Empire. So give up, or don't and make things more interesting to me" The old man flashed a smile with uneven teeth.

The room fell into a silence, as no one knew what to say, until a tired voice said with animosity "Who- What the fuck!? Get out of my tower, you flying piece of shit!" Lorenzo screamed in as much rage as his lungs could offer.

Conquest turned his head towards the dying man and chuckled, lifting an eyebrow "And I thought I was old. You look like you shouldn't even be alive" He said amused.

"Oh yeah!?" The old corpse shakingly got up "Dahlia, deal with this. I want this motherfucker skinned alive!" He demanded, before sitting up again.

The woman was snapped out of her transis, focusing on the new task at hand "Right" She said before taking a step forward "Since you were so kind as to present yourself, it's just manners for me to do the same. My name is Black Dahlia. Seems like we share a non-person's name. The act of conquering and a murder case. Humorous if you ask me, but we won't be able to bond over this" She aimed her gun toward the intruder "Now, if you could just DIE!"

The gun released a big bullet engulfed in fire towards the flying old man, but he quickly avoided the attack and flew directly at the woman, grabbing her by the neck and pinning her against the wall with enough force to shatter it. Dahlia is taken by surprise by the speed and pain, while Conquest only looks at her with no emotion in his eyes.

"Was that all you can do?" He asked in what seemed to be genuine sorrow.

The woman smirked "What? Agh- You seem sad about it" She tried to buy time to do anything, feeling relieved as her taunt made his grip soften a bit.

Conquest sighed "Yes, I am sad. There's nothing interesting on this planet. I don't even know why they sent me here"

"Well, you could always do something for fun" She continued the conversation, thinking of any way to get out of this situation. The way he had broken through the wall probably meant that he wouldn't be affected by her bullets, not even counting the fact that he dodged them.

"Fun?" He smirked "There's nothing fun on this planet. The only fun is to bathe yourself in the blood of enemies. Nothing comes close to that excitement"

"Oh, now you're talking about something I understand" This caught the old man's attention "To watch as they suffer and squirm underneath your feet. That's the real stuff" She smiled.

Conquest looked into her eyes "You seem more interesting than the rest of this trash globe, but conquering is more than watching people suffer, it's about having a real fight and coming out victorious in the end, blood soaked and hurt, but the winner. That's what I was made for"

"You surely don't have a lot of things to do, huh?" She mocked.

His grip tightened a bit, before softening again "Yeah. My people fear me for what I am. Seems like I'm too good at my job" He clenched his hand around her throat even more, done with the talking "It's a shame you have to die, I found you quite pretty and interesting for a human"

Dahlia gasped for air in any way she could, but there was nothing she could do. She fired her gun point blank at his torso, but it didn't make a single scratch to his uniform, nor did it seem to bother him. Her body convulsed, trying to free itself by instinct, but there was only so much she could do.

"Y-You - Agh, c-could j-just no-ot con-nquer" She struggled to say in a last attempt to survive.

As air rushed back to her throat, she knew it had worked. The old man had once again allowed a big enough gap for air in her body. His face was of confusion.

"What did you say?"

Dahlia coughed a bit, before recomposing herself "I said that you can just not conquer this planet, or at least not everything at once"

Conquest's face became even more confused "What are you even talking about?"

"You could just leave us in this state. Go back to wherever you came and say it's not worth conquering this place. Let us rebuild and prepare. Then, you come again and have your fun. Do it again and again. It's a never ending amusement park" She suggested, much to his interest "Or maybe, you could even conquer other things"

This especially caught his attention, making him approach the woman's face "What other things?" He asked with curiosity.

"Well, you could always try to conquer a company economically, or maybe..." She slowly moved her hand to her chest "Conquerlove~" She teased by pulling her black dress a little, revealing a bit more of her skin.

This made the large old man blush and immediately release her, flying back a little. The woman fell to the ground, relieved to finally be free and on the ground. She coughed and took some deep breaths, while Conquest adjusted his head.

He gave a raspy cough, making Dahlia look at him "I will think about your offer. So you will live, for now" He said before flying away through the hole in the wall.

Dahlia, still recuperating from the prolonged time she was left hanging, slowly got up and steadied herself. From beneath the table came out a shaking old corpse, having a difficult time to even get a grip to stabilize his lifting.

"My God, Dahlia. You're such a whore for doing that" Lorenzo cursed her.

"Oh, shut up. Just remember that if it wasn't for that, none of us would be alive" She walked towards the hole in the wall, where some sunlight sipped inside "Also, he wasn't half bad" She smirked "I've always wanted to leash a big dog like him" She laughed to herself.
