Taion - The Pure Frost Demon!

The air held a slightly chilled breeze as the wind rustled throughout the brightly colored trees. Shades of orange glowing onto the greenish grass floor from the reflections of moonlight off of the orange trees. Even as the insect made their little noises, it was sincerely peaceful throughout this location. This was an inhabited world yes, a rather small planet located nearly five thousand parsecs away from Planet Plant. Maybe this was how it managed to keep such a peacefulness to its air? By being so far away from most other inhabited planets it could keep away from these marauders. If one just sat and listened, they would be able to hear the very drips and drops of the purple water dripping off the edge of a rock face. Nature in itself knew the very peacefulness that surrounded this world, the very laws that kept it at peace with nearly everything. How a world managed such on its own was truly a miracle indeed.

The people here as well were truly in tuned with nature itself as well, they were at points of evolution now where they had become physically one with nature as well. If the nature near them was harmed then so were they. A weakness yes, but also a strength. Nature on this planet truly couldn't be harmed without harming those of the planet as well. A marvelous example of evolution at its finest. Everything on this planet seemed to have finally reached its ultimate stage of existence. There truly was nothing they could have evolved further into right? This should have been their peak, but was it possible for more to come in the future? They may have reached a final stage of evolution but their potential was yet to be unlocked. This combination of world and people was so peaceful...and yet this was to end on this very night. The very night of ruin for a new darkness to rise.

Like comets shooting from the star lines the invasion ships began to land. Firing first upon the world to stir up chaos before chancing a landing. Pirates, space pirates had arrived on this world to destroy and reap what was "theirs". These space pirates had been causing small stirs of chaos across the universe, but today? Today was their first attempt at doing something big. Today they were going to steal an entire planet just like their investor had paid them for. They didn’t care for why their investor had paid them for it, to them money was money after all. Money was what made the universe run round. If they could gain even the slightest of returns back upon the trash of a planet. It was a profit for them. With this big of a score as well? They would no longer be simple small fry, but rather true galactic felons! Being felons they could even gather more to their crew. Reap for fortune was the line to go, and for that itself was a blessing. A blessing of greed.


More and more their ships began to appear. It was almost as if there was no end to their resources. No matter how strong the people of this planet were, with this many numbers, hope was easily dying with every passing second. There were just far too many pirates for the good people of this planet. Who was going to even be able to save them from this invading force? The answer was no one, there just was too many, they weren’t strong enough and there wasn’t enough firepower. Where had the pirates even gotten this advanced tech? Was it as well stolen from other planets? It still didn’t make sense how their ships were seemingly so advanced. How was it all even possible and why was there nothing the people of this planet could do to stop it. They tried to give a good fight, but as more of the nature was destroyed along with people..their spirit were barely quavering to the newly formed forces. They were losing the one thing that had kept them alive so far...their hope.


As the laser blast repeatedly hammered the grounds below the ships. The pirates couldn’t help but cheer at their forthcoming victory. They truly couldn’t have done this without their investor. It was so peculiar however, of how their investor had given them so much and yet they still didn’t have a face or a real voice to recognize them by. The masculine voice they had heard in the sound recordings was robotic in nature, so that had left them out of clues on the true identity of them. All they knew about their investor, was that he was able to get his hands on some advanced tech. Whether he had bought them or stole them. Whoever it was..was quickly becoming a legend among the space pirates. Could anyone truly blame them after all? These were some expensive gifts they had received. They aren't all idiots after all. They could understand the values of objects. Especially their price tags.


Hope was almost completely squashed, the morals and spirit of the nature entwined people nearly squashed. All of this if just a few minutes longer had went on..there would have been no battle. That was when she arrived, her power rather high..easily recognizable for its natural strength. The sight of her was enough to cause a few of them to flinch. Not just because of the strength, but of what her race was known for. Especially what her bio suit was most recognized as. She was an elite class of the Frost Clan. One of the most powerful creatures to naturally be born in this galaxy. From the look of her very eyes even. One could virtually feel the livid look in them. She was no joke, most knew the rumors of the race before them. That this was merely a suppressed form of theirs. That they truly held even more power than this! Some however it seemed were simply fools. Ones who didn’t know the rumors..or maybe they were just too pumped with steroids to realize their chance was fading.


The inhabitants of this planet were none the less to quickly hop on towards their chance at still surviving. “Please miss...help us with these pirates. They’ve..they’ve nearly destroyed our home and have killed so many of us. I’m begging for your help..please…” The inhabitant would ask to break out of the utter silence everyone had befallen upon. Even as she looked into his emerald eyes, she could see the fear in them, the hope very thinly lacing them. The truth of sadness inside their eyes though, she could see it..and she could feel it. One of the pirates felt now was the time to interrupt.. “Hey chick..you might want to get out of here now, you can’t dream of fighting us with that power level. There are too many of us for you to handle.” His worst mistake..calling her weak, second mistake...interrupting her train of thought..Strike three? He just helped in the near destruction of a planet. In her eyes..that was not an easily forgivable thing. Not in the slightest. Her eyes..they were more than just livid now, they screamed for vengeance.


She began to let her ki rise alright, because now..now she was pissed. “Don’t worry...I won’t let them ravage this world. You have my promise.” She would speak softly seemingly ignoring the massive brute of a pirate near them. Only in mere seconds did she give a response to him alright. When her fist quite physically punching into his gut. All he could do was give a stunned look upon looking into the fist now seemingly impaled into his chest. The speed...he couldn’t wrap his head around it. “I think I am going to help defend these people..if that’s alright with you...dude.” She would say mockingly before stabbing her tail right inside of him, pulling him farther and farther apart, before snap..the man became two halves. She stayed there simply for a moment, just so a sign to all of these pirates would be shown. She was not going to take any of this from any of them. She was going to make sure they all regretted hurting such a place of nature. Tick tock these men were running out of time to run. The wraith of the frost were coming to make sure they all very well payed.


“Don’t you all chicken out on me now..you all wanted a fight. Now you're very well going to get it. This is the wrath of the frost demons! This is why you never make us mad!” Taion would scream as the pirates would quickly begin to try dog piling her. Quickly her aura flared as she launched to uppercut a greenish looking alien. They had been right one one thing however. There was too many for her to handle merely in her suppressed form. She didn’t like using more than her usual rate of power, however if the turns came to force itself. She was going to have no choice but to do so if this kept up longer. Damn them all for this destruction. It was so devastating..so destructive. She couldn’t stand for it. While grappling one of the purplish pirates with her tail she began to throw him to the ground only to feel a pair of arms come around her neck. Were they really trying to choke her? Did they even realize she didn’t need oxygen to breathe. Maybe they did have brains after all, because now? Now they all decided to dog pile her. Separately maybe they were no match for her, however together they were quite capable of holding her down.

Even as she was held down by the large group of pirates, she couldn't help but groan as they tried to rip her own very head off. She could feel her power welling up inside of her, her suppressed form simply couldn't take it much longer. They had pushed her simply too far, and with that...she let out an explosion of her own Ki, tossing the group of pirates into the air, the power paralyzing them temporarily in the air: the figure in the center no longer the same as beforehand. Now she has ascended further. Even as she took one knee, she was already taller than a majority of them. While she was indeed taller in this form, and she had let upon even more of her power, this second form looked remarkably similar to her suppressed one. It's power though, it was much more vast...even though it wouldn't be enough, it was definitely going to increase the odds. After all this was still only the beginnings. There was still much much more to come. She was going to make them all pay for everything they had caused here. They had tried to kill her as well after all,that was simply the last thing you wanted to try against a frost demon.

A quiet stillness held itself into the air, and then they all began to fall. Quickly she began to moved, her larger height and weight doing nil to slow her down. She flew at them all, striking the first one with her tail, tossing them further upward before head butting and impaling them upon the spikes that had grown on her head. Speaking with now a bit deeper of a voice, mainly due to the form change. "Not so little of a girl now am I? It's a bit different when I'm taller than you now isn't it?" She would taunt before tossing the impaled pirate towards the ground. He most likely wasn’t going to be able to cause many more issues now was he. Now she simply had to move on to the rest of these fools. It was only then that she felt the power of someone truly strong. It was so strong..she couldn’t help but grimace herself. That power..it was so strong, easily around twenty thousand, and it was fast approaching her. Why wasn’t it in the air though? Unless? NO..not one of them. This was going to be harder than she had first anticipated.


Moving to brace she turned towards the incoming power. The sight of the being only confirming her fears on the creature. It was a metalman. A naturally strong creature. Much stronger than even her second form. She refused to dip into her true form’s power though. She didn’t want to risk opening that power and killing the innocents here. She was just going to have to make due with the very things she already held. So she did the only thing she could picture herself being able to do easily. She rushed right at the metal man hoping to at least make a dent into him. She was just too slow though to stop the inevitable from happening. The metalman quickly managed to grab her and had begun to squeeze the very life out of her. No matter how much she screamed in pain at the crushing together of her bones. He refused to loosen his grip, only moving to tighten it further and further. Taion own eyes were closed in pain as she open one more time, only to close them again. Going limp in his grasp. She felt however her own hidden strength, her primal desire to survive..it was pushing into her. With another small explosion of ki, she had let loose her third form.


Slowly as she stood back up, her height having been pushed further by the elongation of her skull. She stood at a monstrosity of nine feet tall. She was done playing games, Her third form was barely strong enough to handle this metalman. It wasn’t enough if she wanted to win. If she wanted to win, she was going to have to push herself even further..and yet..she didn’t want to do that. If she did that then it meant she was going to easily be at a point of killing those she didn’t wish for. What choice did she have though? There just wasn’t any other option she suppose. If she didn’t win here, these people would be losing their homes. She couldn’t standby for that. The place had already been destroyed quite a bit already. Why couldn’t she just push further! Why did she have to be so stubbornly reluctant! If she didn’t do something they were all going to die! It would be her own fault as well. She could have stopped it if she went full power. She just had to stop holding back against these criminals. They sought nothing more than to make a cheap pint off of this world. She just had to stop them.


As Taion let out a scream of internal struggle, she flared her violet ki once more as she rushed to meet the metal man in hand to hand combat. Every slow punch he shot out, she was quick to dodge and launch her own. Only to be met with a block of movement equal to her own. This was how it kept going on for several minutes, they were both too evenly matched, and neither one could overcome the other. Taion felt ready to scream her own very lungs out. She was getting drained of energy in this fight, and the longer it went on. She knew she still lost if this fight was tied. The other pirates would simply finish her off. That was why she had to win, there was no tieing, only losing. A loss she truly couldn’t afford. Even as her options grew dimmer and dimmer, she knew what her only option left was. She knew it was going to be the only one that could afford her a win. The only one that would give her even the slightest of a chance. She just didn’t want to admit it. She wasn’t strong enough in her third form. She needed more power. She needed it now.


“You all have pushed me too far..” Taion would say as the very explosion of aura around her would cause the very air to freeze. “I am Lord Taion of the Frost Clan! I will not stand for you destroying this world! I will protect the weak with my very life if I have to! You all have finally pushed me too far! Take my true power, the power of my true form!” he would shout as her body glowed and showered her with ki, her power level spiking very quickly and past that of the metalman’s. She was reaching a new point in her power as she ascended, her form cleaner indeed, the bio armor in some points becoming metallic like in anticipation. Her tail becoming covered in a metallic bio armor as she kept growing further and further into her strength. Her size growing smaller, not smaller than her first form, but rather only a few inches taller. Even as she screamed louder and louder as her power began to grow, the pirates could only look in continued fear of the monster they had helped to awaken. Her tail now covered in metallic bio armor, with spikes on the tips. Her arm blades growing longer and having three of which now. This power was no longer any laughing matter. These pirates have just spelled their own grave.
As her power finally began to settle down, she could only stare at the many pirates surrounding her. “Don’t you all see now? This is the very trouble you have caused, this is the very graves of which you have all dug. Yet..you all will never understand. This isn’t even the limits of my power. This is the bare beginning of it. This is only ten percent of my full strength. It would simply be a waste to use it all upon you. Especially considering the deepness of the graves that are dug here today. Just be glad someone here cares enough to do so...oh wait..that person has left this realm. However let’s finish this rather quickly, I am already getting bored here.” Taion would simply say, her voice now back to its normal tone. With a couple cracks of her own neck, she was ready to begin round two of this fight. She had a show to make after all. A show for all the pirates here to watch and fear her strength if they ever decided to try and harm another planet. The only way to make people realize after all, was by making them see to truly believe in power. If someone had to do it, then she was glad that she was the one making them all see. The one to make them all pay.


With intense speed she launched towards the metalman, her speed was almost unfathomable with their height in power. No one had even been able to manage a look towards the metalman. All they had seen turning toward him now, was a fist lodge right into his chest. Unlike the previous ones this one didn’t make dent no, this one had punched straight through. This was the power of the frost demon at its whole. This was the power that was to be feared by those who crossed their paths. Kai’s only know why they had given them so much in strength wise of an attribute. Maybe they had known that one day a frost demon would do their hardest to become a hero. Maybe that was why they had blessed them with such power, but truly it didn’t matter now did it. The metalman was clearly stunned by the fact of someone having managed to pummel right on through him. He wasn’t even prepared for the chilling lancer that vaporized the very metal that stood there. The final screams of the metalman easily being heard as his very existence was erased and his soul escaped towards the afterlife. One of the pirate’s chiefs, was now dead. In nothing but a simple blow even. This monster in front of them, it was clear now. They all needed to run, before they all died like their boss.


As she looked toward the fleeing pirates, she couldn’t help but smirk at her success. It was almost a shame that they only got to witness less than ten percent of her true power. At least the menial job was over with, frankly she wanted to go back home and rest now after such a long series of fights. She was just absolutely exhausted. Her true form was already draining her energy with every passing second that went on. Her own eyes could almost barely keep themselves awake. What mattered though was that the fight was at least finally over. That was what she was most glad for. Even if lives had been lost. At least it hadn’t been in vain. Their spirits would have been at least halfway avenged. She didn’t kill all of the pirates for they had fled, but at least she had managed to save what was left of the planet. She only wished that maybe she could have just saved more. Wouldn’t have been as expensive to clean up then. She still didn’t know exactly what she wanted to do now, however when she manage to get a glimpse into the native’s eyes she had met earlier. She could see in them, the fury that lashed out towards the very stars. She knew exactly what to do, knowing the very feelings that ran inside of them.


“I know that pain in your heart, I can’t even begin to understand what it is that is welling up inside, so let me give your people two promises. One, I will find the rest of these pirates and I will make them pay for the pain they have caused your people. Two, I wish to buy your planet, not for what you think, rather so I can have your home repaired. I will even provide weapons to better defend yourselves with, once your people are able to manage yourselves alright, I will charge a small rent from each of you, eventually once it's all paid off I will let your people properly own their planet again. I don’t seek any gain truly from this, I just want to help repay your people for the damage I couldn’t save. I am sorry..I tried to get here as fast as I could when I heard the distress calls. I just wasn’t fast enough.” Taion would say, her voice sounding as if she was truly in deep regret. The truth was..she was trying to make her own deals here. While she did care for these people, it wasn’t for their lives as much as it was for their money. A new darkness did rise alright, but it wasn’t the pirates. It was her, after all that had called them to this place. To place her in such an offer. Was she manipulative? Yes, but anything to better her own people’s place in this universe. This act alone should it get out would put them in a much better light.


“I will have to talk about this with the others...Lord Taion was it? Thank you though for your help here..I’m sure my people will appreciate it. You have our trust, along with that of the very nature here as well. That which remains that is. It is a part of us and now, it will trust you as well. I am positive my people will accept your offer however. We have gone too long without preparing for invaders. Those pirate were a wake up call, next time with your help we will be ready.” The native would say and with that..he would begin to walk off, however not without one final look back. “Lord Taion, thank you.” The native would once again say before running along to his own group. Taion just couldn’t help but keep smiling however at his words. She had gotten the attention she desired, and possibly a future ally as well who would help her maybe in the future with taking the Frost Throne for her clan. Overall she would say that this trip was indeed well turned for her. Better than any other one she could have planned out that was for sure. She supposed all that was left now was to simply head home. Her mission had been accomplished after all, maybe she could do with a drink at the local pub however, it truly could never hurt right? She heard Planet Plant had a good one, and she truly could do with some wine. A wee bit never hurt after all. Especially not for a frost demon like her. It was hereditary for them to drink wine after all. She could do with a bit of shellfish as well, in fact why not a feast? She was hungry after such a long fight.
