ABOARD THE MU-STA-SHRYD!, our hero, the RULER AND CONQUEROR OF THE UNIVERSE, TITUS!, STARES out of the window along the ship's corridor into an endless sea of stars that make up his daily view. He has conquered so much of it, life forms on stars and planets as far as his eyes can see. Earthlings are not taught that life exists in the stars, but that the only prospect of another living, intelligent creature had to be on the eight planets they are conditioned to memorize. TITUS! KNOWS! this isn't true, for those beings have tested his warrior spirit from the moment he first tasted combat. "COMBAT DOES HAVE A TASTE!", he thought. The Mercurians extract an orange substance from their form, whilst their exoskeleton can ignite an inferno with just a single touch. TITUS! REFLECTS! on the battle, the single hardest one in his centuries as an intergalactic champion. A tear forms along his cheek. As the tear makes its way to his lip, it quivers from the taste. It is bittersweet, much like his victory.
Once upon a time, his travels weren't just about combat. TITUS'S! OBJECTIVE was to be a beacon of peace and harmony. It was one he wished he could fulfill. He was younger then, compassionate. Hopeful. Beings from Pluto were isolated, but were a loving and meek species. The elders sought to unite the galaxy, and TITUS! VOLUNTEERED! without hesitation. He didn't know what such a mission would entail. Along the way, he met a Mercurian by the name of Roxoff. Roxoff saw the grave violence being committed throughout the galaxy and fought valiantly against the invaders of Mercury. It wasn't by choice, and TITUS! FOUND! a kindred spirit.
But that was so so long ago.
As TITUS! WATCHES! the stars pass, his ship's counselor, the Venusian empath Dr. Dreama Medix, approaches the titanic TITUS!. Dr. Dreama Medix became one with the MU-STA-SHRYD!'s staff after an exploratory mission into the culture of the planet Venus. What TITUS! DISCOVERED! were allies in the pursuit of unity his elders prophesied, and Dr. Dreama Medix became a vital resource into the feelings of those new civilizations they would hope to bond with.
Being among Venus's finest in her expertise, it was not difficult for her to see that all life forms had a need to procreate, and she would often act as an ambassador, a role she thrived in. TITUS! SAW! her value as she helped with the realization that such a mission could call for coarse actions. It was under her counsel that he resolved the pain associated with battle and found a solace in the chaos.
Dr. Dreama Medix: Captain, our scanners are picking up on a disturbance in the Earth realm.
TITUS!: Brief me along the way, DD.
DD is what TITUS! CALLS! Dreama, a byproduct of their friendship. TITUS! REMAINS! standing by the window. DD closes her eyes. She knows.
Dr. Dreama Medix: You were thinking about Roxoff again, weren't you?
In this moment, he is not the CONQUERER we know. He is heartbroken.
TITUS!: I did not want to do battle with him. He was my brother.
COMBAT causes TITUS'S! ADRENALINE to RISE, even just thinking about it now is a high. But what TITUS! FAILED! to explain before was that beings from Pluto's ADRENALINE manifests at an alarming rate, emanating from various regions of their form. DD can sense TITUS! NEEDS! a release. She takes her hands and folds them together in a praying motion, before lowering them to where they levitate in front of his stomach. It's an ancient Venusian method to relieve tension and stress, something TITUS! EXPERIENCES! on a daily basis. DD knows this won't take long due to her mastery of the art.
She brings her hands back to her core and TITUS! SQUINTS! With a mighty roar, TITUS! RELEASES! the excess adrenaline, which hits DD in the face and across her chest. She doesn't blink as she wipes the adrenaline from her face.
Dr. Dreama Medix: I shall meet you on the bridge, Captain.
TITUS! TURNS! and makes his way to the bridge as DD turns in the opposite direction. As he reaches the bridge, TITUS! SILENCES! his hysterical crew.
TITUS!: STATUS REPORT COMMANDER!
The ship's second in command, an Earthling known as Howie Felterbush, stands at attention.
Howie Felterbush: Sir, we have an incoming transmission from Earth. It's an announcement from WFWF.
TITUS! CHUCKLES! It's a good thing no canines are allowed on the MU-STA-SHRYD!, otherwise there would be puppy brains splattered throughout the ship. This call was made after the ship became a harbinger for canine death, when it was meant to be a sanctuary. Several tests were conducted, all with the same result. So a decree was made to prevent any and all animal species from entering the ship. It was more humane.
TITUS! POINTS! at Howie Felterbush.
TITUS!: Summarize.
Howie Felterbush: There's an event called Knuckles Up In Boston, sir. They have you scheduled for competition against one they call Diabolos.
TITUS! SQUINTS HIS EYES AND CLENCHES HIS TEETH!
TITUS!: I AM FAMILIAR WITH THIS BEING!
TITUS! CHUCKLES! His ADRENALINE! is running high once more. He knows that COMBAT! is on the horizon.
TITUS!: MR. Q, OPEN A HAILING FREQUENCY!
The ship's resident Android, Alpha Q, opens a hailing frequency. TITUS! CHUCKLES!, and somewhere in the universe, a puppy is probably experiencing a great deal of intercranial pressure.
TITUS!: BEGIN TRANSMISSION!
With a push of a button, the transmission has started, recording both TITUS'S! PRESENCE! AND VOICE!
TITUS!: What a true ruler should want... is peace. COMBAT! is ugly, but necessary to achieve unity and harmony. I had to learn this centuries ago. BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE FORCES who want war, who NEED WAR! Such as the devil himself. SINCE I ARRIVED IN WFWF, I HAVE SEEN THEM!
TITUS! SQUINTS! his eyes and CLENCHES! his teeth.
TITUS!: DIABOLOS! MY ARCH NEMESIS! I KNOW YOUR GAME, TO WREAK HAVOC ACROSS THE GALAXY! And I have thrawted you before. Remember the wormhole...AND HOW YOU SACRIFICED THOSE TALSIARS! You could not stand to see a united front. You manipulated them... AND I HAD TO SAVE THEM! I could not save them all, but there will be NO ONE to save you when we battle again.
TITUS! TILTS HIS HEAD! His eyes are piercing everyone's souls.
TITUS!: WAR IS WHAT YOU CRAVE, HECATE! But you should know by now that I WILL NOT STOP IN MY MISSION! So when my hand is around your throat, Beelzeub, and you scream out for help, the WHOLE WOOORLD WILL KNOW! And so will the universe. THEY WILL KNOOOOW THE GAAME HAS CHAANGED!
TITUS! SQUINTS! AGAIN! His teeth are clenched tightly.
TITUS!: IF I WANT PEACE, and peace requires me going through you at every turn, THEN SO BE IT! So I dare you to come to battle with ALL YOUR DIRTY TRICKS, ABADDON! BUT YOU WILL NOT DENY ME! MY UNDEFEATED STREAK will stay in tact. And you will see, ONCE AND FOR ALL... that I am... the RULER AND CONQUERER... of the universe.
