That One Fear In My Enemy's Eyes
Location: Open Space
Through the vast and endless void of [SIZE= 12px]space a single space pod flew silently, albeit rapidly, towards a new and as yet undisclosed destination.[/SIZE]
[SIZE= 12px]Seated inside in an induced comatose state supported by state of the art life-support systems was a single crimson haired female warrior. Her posture was upright, her arms crossed, her face calm, and her mind in a state of perpetual serenity during her journey. The new systems allowed her body to enter a state of suspended animation, allowing her to travel vast distances through the universe without aging or losing any existing health, strength, or stamina which she'd gained until this point. It was a miraculous feat of bio-engineering to be able to so perfectly preserve a being without the use of liquids or freezing temperatures, courtesy of a humanoid race known as the Tuffles.[/SIZE]
Her name... Valkyrie Urzen, or "Val" for short.
She is a Saiyan warrior, proud and confident and occupying the lower echelon of the Elite Class within her race. The strongest of Saiyans held what were known as "power levels," numerical representations of one's raw energy output, in the range of around 18,000-20,000. Valkyrie's power was 12,860, making her a formidable warrior in her own right. While not the most powerful female Saiyan in existence, she was a contender for the title.
Her destination... Planet XK-02B, known to her kind as Planet Zsuriin.
It was a neutral world with sentient beings for its native population who looked like a strange mixture of humanoid reptilians. They had a relatively humanoid shape, but their bodies were covered in rough scales which doubled both as armor and, in some cases, weapons. They also had long tails as well and their mouths were incapable of inter-galactic (IG) speech because of the solid shape of their jaws. Without lips, they couldn't form the IG tongue's vowels and consonants, and were forced to use an interpreter to communicate with people from other races like Valkyrie.
Her reason for coming to this world was simple: They'd requested aid.
The native population was being threatened by an invasive force of inter-planetary pirates, none of whom held power levels above 8,000. But the natives only had power levels in the triple digits, so they could not defend themselves against the invaders. As an allied race to the Saiyans, Valkyrie was deemed sufficient to quell the threat.
A warning alarm began sound, and the life-support systems slowly began to power down as Valkyrie was roused from her catatonic state. Her eyes fluttered open and she cracked her neck first to the left side, then the right. She reached over and turned off the alarm, looking out the front of her pod's window to see Planet Zsuriin taking up her field of view.
The corners of her mouth curled in a smile as she pressed a button forcing her pod into the final stage of descend from the atmosphere. The pod was engulfed in red light as it began streaking through the planet's atmosphere gathering tremendous heat and speed. As it broke through, it cooled and she slowed it down to land safely in an open area away from civilization.
However her approach had not gone unnoticed. The small group of planetary pirates had already taken over native's primary nation and knew of her arrival. Having prepared themselves the moment her ship was detected, it didn't take long for the entire group to find their way to her position as she stepped out of her pod.
Valkyrie was different from normal Saiyans in the respect that she opted not to wear armor. Instead, she wore light but durable fabrics giving her compete freedom of movement while at the same time making her look more like a regular human from Earth than a Saiyan due to the fact that her tail was tucked around her waist and hidden beneath her clothing.
The invaders were a group of non-humanoids, as she now had seen. They were quadrupedal in their general posture and very insectoid in appearance. They had four front arms and two rear legs, each one jointed and covered in natural armor plating. None of them had tails, nor wings, but they knew how to control their Ki to fly all the same. Their faces looked almost like those of giant praying mantises, but their arms all held normal insectoid-like feet instead of any kind of claws or hands.
She glared at the invaders, numbering about 50 or so, as they floated in the sky above her. They weren't speaking, and neither was she. There were no words to be said. She was here to either force them to abandon the planet, or die.
"I will give you this chance to leave this planet peacefully. You cannot defeat me, even with your numbers as they are. If you do not leave, I will be forced to destroy you." She said in a loud, clear voice.
The invaders obviously understood the IG tongue though they didn't seem to have mouths which could form the same kinds of words. They uttered strange clicking noises and almost gurgling-like sounds instead. Val's upper lip curled in disgust at the sounds, and she took in a deep breath as she let it out slowly and softly through her teeth to slow her heart rate.
Obviously they didn't care to go quietly, so it was time for Valkyrie to do things the hard way.
She took her stance, and the invaders all began to power up and prepare for battle. Val, already being at full power, simply smiled at their display. Her Scouter read their power levels very clearly, and the only one worth worrying about had a power of 8,454. The rest were all below 6,000 and would make for fairly easy pickings.
The small horde of enemies began descending on her, and she dug her feet into the ground and readied herself for her counterattack.
