Viltrumite Blood!

The sun was out the birds were chirping and Mark was finally awoken by the sound of running water. Mark leaned up in his and eve's bed to see the woman standing in the bathroom preparing a shower.

" Mm, hey babe. What are you doing?"

Mark asked the woman

Eve turned and smiled at Mark.

" Well, I was getting ready to wake you up. You're supposed to be meeting your mom for dinner today. Or did you forget that?"

Eve asked the man as she plopped down in bed beside him.

" Oh, I totally forgot. I was so busy training Oliver to use the chamber last night I forgot about it."

Mark rolled over and pulled Eve with him.

" Thank you, babe. Now let's get you out of these clothes."

mark said as he slowly started ripping eve's lingerie off.

" Mark... Ugh! You idiot. I liked those."

Eve complained.

" Yeah? I'll get you more. Now, come on we have a shower to take."

Mark said as he picked the girl up.

" Wha? You aren't even... Oh, you jerk. You got me all hot and bothered just to shower."

Eve complained.

" Ahahaha! Who said we were just going to shower?"

Mark asked the girl.

Eve looked up at Mark a little stunned and slowly smirked as Mark flew her in the bathroom.

After a quick and steamy shower session, Mark and Eve both came out of the bathroom glowing.

" Have fun sweety. Come home soon. I want desert."

Eve said to Mark as she licked her fingers.

' Damn, I love this woman.'

Mark thought to himself. He walked over to eve and kissed her on the lips before smacking her soft ass.

" Mmm, I can't wait."

Eve hummed before laying down on the bed.

Mark smirked and quickly threw his clothes and left the house.

" Man, life is so good recently. I mean I got a little brother who wants to be just like me. I've just about got all the kinks for my company ironed out. I should be able to start taking clients soon. And above all else, I've got the most amazing woman in the entire world at my side. I'm living life."

Mark said to himself happily taking in all of the good things he's got going for him.

Mark landed in the city and made his way to the meeting spot for his lunch date with his mother.

' I'm not late? Where is she? Maybe I should have gone and picked her up.'

Mark thought to himself as he looked around for his late mother.

" Mark! Hey, Mark!"

Debbie suddenly called out to the boy as she made her way through the crowd of people.

" Hey, mom. I was just thinking about you. So, are you ready?"

Mark asked the woman.

" Yes, I am. Come on, let's get a seat and order something really quick."

Debbie said to the boy.

Mark nodded and took his mother's hand and walked with her to one of the small cafe's outside tables. Once they were seated Mark ordered a large Blt sandwich with extra ham and turkey. And Debbie ordered a salad.

" So, what's going on mom? What do you want to talk about?"

Mark asked the woman as he took a bite from his sandwich.

" Well, Mark. I've been meaning to tell you for a while. But I've been seeing someone else. I wasn't looking or anything like that. It just sort of happened. His name's paul and he works for the same realtor company I do. When Nolan left Paul helped me out at the company. We became friends and last month he asked me out. We've gone out a few times since then. It's not serious yet. But I didn't want you to be surprised by anything."

Debbie explained to the boy.

" That's great mom. I'm happy for you seriously. If this is what you want then go for it."

Mark said to the woman happily.

" Are you sure son? I mean I know you wanted to hold out hope that your father would come back."

Debbie asked the boy.

" Mom, if dad comes back and you decide you want to be with him then that's that. If not then oh well. I love you both and yes, he's made some mistakes that can't be forgiven. But he's my dad. I've loved him for eighteen years."

Mark explained to the woman.

" Come with me."

A woman's voice suddenly ordered Mark, her voice strong and commanding.

" One moment."

Mark said to the woman brushing her off.

" Come with me, now."

The woman demanded.

" Lady, you really don't..."

Mark was saying until he turned and saw who was talking to him. Mark's eyes widened in shock as he realized who it was that had spoken to him.

" Mark Grayson. Invincible. You will come with me, right now, or I will kill your mother."

Anissa declared.

" Did the bastard I maimed on Thraxa not send a clear message that I'm not another one of your pathetic flunkies?"

Mark asked the woman.

" You'd be wise to consider where you are right now. I believe you are still hiding your identity. I can't imagine a fight in public is really what you want. More than that I believe it is only a matter of minutes until these creatures realize how I am dressed."

Anissa explained to Mark.

" One mile up. Two minutes. That work for you?"

Mark asked the woman.

" Yes."

Anissa said to the man before flying up and into the air.

" Mark? Who is she?"

Debbie asked in a panic.

" Trouble. Mom go home now."

Mark said to the woman.

" But Mark."

Debbie tried arguing

" Mom. GO. HOME. NOW."

Mark ordered the woman. His voice ragged and rough

Debbie looked at Mark in terror and slowly nodded.

" I love you. Be careful son."

Debbie said to the boy before getting out of her seat and walking away as fast as she could.

Mark walked around the corner and quickly changed into his suit and flew up into the air.

" All right, you wanted me. Here I am."

Mark said to the woman.

" Allow me to apologize."

Anissa said to Mark.

" Apologize? That doesn't sound like what I've come to know about viltrumites. Who are you?"

Mark asked the woman.

" My name is Anissa. And I apologize for threatening your mother. I'll be honest this isn't how I wanted things to start. But I needed you alone as fast as possible. For that I apologize. Now, on to business. You have been designated Viltrumite agent of this planet. What steps have you taken to prepare this planet for eventual takeover?"

Anissa asked.

" Well, uh let me see here I did nothing. The nothing. Oh, and nothing. That's about it."

Mark said sarcastically.

' I have to admit seeing her up close. She's unnaturally beautiful.'

Mark thought to himself as his eyes roamed Anissa's body. Mark couldn't help but observe how her suit hugged her body and perfectly showed off her sculpted arms and legs and accentuated her beautiful curves.

" I see. If you are still under the impression, I am here to fight you then don't worry, Mark."

Anissa said to the man.

" Oh? And what are you here for?"

Mark asked the woman.

" To clarify things. I believe you said something earlier about Viltrumites. I am here to tell you everything you heard or know is mistaken."

Anissa explained to Mark.

" Oh, and you do that by threatening my mother. Way to go champ."

Mark said to the woman sarcastically.

" I won't deny there are fundamental cultural differences between viltrumites and the people you were raised amongst."

Anissa stated.

" Go on."

Mark said to the woman.

" Our people are quick to turn violent. It is something we all struggle with. Have you not experienced this yourself?"

Anissa asked the man.

Mark's eyes widened and he began thinking about all the times he snapped.

" YOU DON'T GET TO TOUCH HER!"

" No more Angstrom Levy!"

" RAAAAAAAGH!"

Mark thought back to all the times he snapped and realized his viltrumite blood was more prevalent than he had thought.

" Okay, you make a good point."

Mark said to the woman.

" Despite what you know about us and our nature. You are misunderstanding the intent of our drive to conquer other worlds. We take over yes, and we do take our share of the planet's natural resources, but we bring so much to the planet in return. We really have a lot to offer."

Anissa explained to Mark

" Is this planet not riddled with death and disease? Are these people not plagued by violence and war? A viltrumite occupation would rid them of all that. We would share our technology, cure their diseases. No unsanctioned violence would occur. We could transform this place into a utopia."

Anissa explained to Mark.

" You have a way with words. They are as beautiful as you are. But they are a lie. You speak honey but your words are laced with venom. You would make us slaves. And would only use us until our resources are gone and our planet destroyed. Right?"

Mark said to the woman.

" Now, who has a way with words. It would take hundreds of years for us to harvest what we need from the planet. During that time would you and the humans of this planet not be happy? You would be in an age of peace your world has never known. This would last for generations until no one even remembered the world before. When we're done, we will have destroyed this planet the same as these beings you wish to protect are already doing. Nothing would be lost."

Anissa was explaining to Mark when Mark suddenly was radioed about a cruise liner sinking.

" Sorry, to cut you off. But people are dying, and I am needed."

Mark told the woman.

" I am aware you protect these people. If it will convince you that I am compassionate toward these people, I will help."

Anissa said to Mark.

" Okay, but remember we are helping people. Not killing them."

Mark said to the woman as he started flying towards the source of the accident.

Mark and Anissa both flew as fast as they could towards the cruise ship to see it being attacked by a giant sea monster.

" Damn."

Mark stated.

" The monster. I can hurt the monster, right?"

Anissa asked.

" Of course, we can kill it."

Mark said to the woman.

" Go for the head. Simple and quick."

Mark told the woman who nodded in response. Mark smirked and the two viltrumites flew straight in and out of the creature's head, killing it with ease.

The creature collapsed back into the ocean and freeing the cruise ship.

Mark stopped and looked at the dying creature before turning to Anissa.

" Nice job... You."

Mark said slowly. As he observed Anissa's body. Seeing the woman drenched in blood awoke a feeling inside Mark that could only be described as... Primal. His heart pounded and his breath became ragged. He was slowly becoming more and more focused on the woman, that is until screams from the sinking ship drew him back to the world.

" Mind giving me a hand on getting this boat back to shore?"

Mark asked the woman.

" Very well."

Anissa said to Mark.

She and Mark both flew under the ship and together lifted it out of the water with ease and carried it back to the beach, where the passengers began exiting the ruined ship.

" You did some very impressive work today, Mark."

Anissa said to the man.

" You did pretty good yourself. I must say I enjoyed watching you work."

Mark said to the woman, complimenting her abilities.

" Thank you. It impresses me even more that you care about these creatures and the planet. In fact, I must say I respect you."

Anissa explained to Mark.

" The viltrumites and these people don't need to be at odds. We can all get what we want out of this deal. None of these people need to be hurt. How many of these people would have died today if I hadn't been here to help? Maybe none, you are stronger than I had been told but that doesn't matter if you can't be there. Wouldn't it be nice to get help like this on a regular basis? Wouldn't your life be easier? So, what do you say? Are you going to work with us?"

Anissa asked Mark once again, hoping for him to say yes.

" Sorry, I'm still not convinced I need your help."

Mark said to the woman with a smile on his face.

" I'm sorry to hear that. This wasn't a negotiation."

Anissa said to Mark before punching him his chin and knocking him into the air. She then flew into the air after him and grabbed him by his collar.

" You have made a huge mistake."

Anissa said to the man. She then grabbed Mark and flew him straight back into the ground, slamming him into it hard and creating a crater that cleared a large portion of the island.

" Don't move. I'm stronger than you. I'm faster than you. And you better believe I'm smarter than you. So, don't move. You so much as touch me and it'll set me off. I told you what a nasty temper we viltrumites have. You piss me off and things will get nasty."

Anissa declared as she straddled Marks waist.

" HAha! Now, you're speaking my language."

Mark said as he punched Anissa in her mouth and nose knocking her.

Anissa was stunned at the force behind Mark's punch and wiped the blood from her mouth and nose in shock. She then looked up at Mark and Smiled viciously.

" None of my husbands have ever hit me that hard."

Anissa stated with pride. A new fire was lit in the woman's eyes and an evil smile dawned her face one that Mark returned promptly.

" Are you angry? Get angry! Show me just how nasty you can get."

Mark demanded.

He and Anissa, both rushed each other and punched. Their fists slammed into each other causing a shockwave that shook the island below them viciously.

' Thraggs elite guard. She is strong.'

Mark thought gleefully as he and Anissa struggled to overpower the other.

' In all of the viltrumites in the series. She is the only other viltrumite besides Mark and Nolan to make thragg bleed. What a woman.'

Mark thought to himself.

Mark grabbed Anissa's arm and threw her over his shoulder and into the Island below, sinking a part of the island in the process.

Anissa not to be outdone shot out of the water violently causing the water to nearly drown the civilians on the island. She flew straight into Mark and punched him in his jaw knocking him further into the air.

" Not bad, Anissa. You certainly hit harder than those chumps on Thraxa did."

Mark said to the woman.

" And you are more of a man than many of the empire. It almost saddens me that you aren't willing to work with us."

Anissa said to the man.

" How about we end things here. As fun as this has been. I did not come here to fight. You are strong and can take care of yourself, so I feel like a warning is not needed. But I will say this. You can ignore your duties if you want. But be prepared for the consequences. Our reserve forces are thin currently. That is no doubt why you were given the assignment in the first place. So, I can't replace you now. You can choose to oppose us if you want. You can deny these people the utopia we could bring them. You could have us flatten these people and we can take what we want. If that is what you wish. Or you could work with us, and everything would go by much smoother. That decision is yours to make. If you don't, in time, a replacement will be found when another agent is available. That agent will be sent here to kill you and you will be replaced and we will take over anyway. It could be days, months, or years. I pray you come to your sense before that time. It would be such a shame for a man like you to die an unnecessary death."

Anissa explained to Mark before flying away.

Mark watched as the woman's silhouette disappeared into the skyline.

' What the hell was that?'

Mark asked as he got a hold of himself.

Deep in Space, Anissa continued her flight away from earth until she finally arrived on General Kregg's flagship.

" Well?"

Kregg asked the woman.

" It could have gone better."

Anissa replied.

" Shame, we could have used him."

Kregg stated bluntly.

" Oh, it's not over yet. That I can assure you. I'm more than confident I can bring him over to our side. It's only a matter of time."

Anissa explained to Kregg as she looked down at her own blood on her hands. Anissa bit her lip and smiled in anticipation on their next meeting.
