The hivemind is conquering for me?

Earlier in the morning, Hank had transported Mine and Kathrine’s clothes back to the opulence, so I did not have to walk around in a toga all day. Being the only male in the company of women, I was sat at the courtyard waiting for everyone else twenty minutes early. While waiting I was looking around and I suddenly saw two individuals walking towards me.

They were a pair of a man and a woman I was assuming. The prior being roughly 6ft7 and the latter also being 6ft7. As they moved forward, wielding what I recognised as a Deimos weapon, I could not help to admire their respective armours.

The man was wearing a gold coloured Battle plate that covered him from head to toe. The armour looks somewhat bulky due to the mans stature, but he wore it as though it weighed nothing as he walked. The ornate details with real gold and platinum accents make the armour stand out as a piece of art, but the minute amount of scratches on the armour portrayed that it was in no means decorative.

Although I could not see through the armour, I felt like behind the plates, a great deal of technology was hiding behind and powering two green-blue orbs. One on the mans waist, and one smaller one on his chest. What really intrigued me however, was the helmet. It was the same material for the most part with an wide barbute design, however, instead of being able to see the mans face, a black mask that absorbed so much light that it made his face appear almost 2D apart from the two eye slits that also took on the same colour of the orbs the man had on his armour.

The woman’s armour was similar in design, but the detailed engravings upon her own armour seemed far more intricate and thought out. Every piece of her armour was detailed in someway. It went as far as having engraved nipples for a more classical taste and looked tasteful at that. Like with the mans armour, the woman had orbs on her belt front and two orbs instead of one on her chest and were purple in colour. The woman also wore a purple cape and a help that was similar in design with the mans, only it had purple eye slits and another crystal imbedded in front of the helm.

Just watching the two individuals walk towards me had me in awe of their presence. ‘Wow… They look badass.’ I thought to myself. “Hello there.” I said once they had come close enough. “I am Arcon Apollo, a pleasure to meet you.” I said politely.

The two people completely ignored me and continued walking ahead to the ship that was parked not far behind me. Feeling the oof, I respected their decision to ignore me and sat back down waiting.

The two individuals were inside of the ship for five minutes before the woman exited and walked over towards me. I was currently trying to check on Onyx, but she was being quiet and I did not notice the woman until she was directly in front of me.

As I looked up at her, she spoke. “You intrigue me, why?” She asked in a tone neutral of emotion, not giving me much room to work with. “I am not sure? Trust your instinct, why am I intriguing towards you?” I replied, turning the question so I did not have to answer.

The woman stared at me for what felt like eternity before from the side, the man appeared and spoke. “Because you are strong. An anomaly with no ties, a threat.” He spoke calmly, not with hostility, but he proceeded to reach for a tube on his side as he scanned me up and down.

‘Um, why is this guys posturing looking like he is waiting for a scrap?’ I thought before relaying into my Mindspace. ‘Onyx, be ready to get me out of here.’ The two of them were incredibly powerful, I could tell from their Psionic Energy as I scanned them.

The man seemed to pick up on this and stated. “Unpermitted use of Psionics in the palace, you will be pacified.” Looking at the woman, her body language revealed that she would not stop me from reacting to the situation, so I did.

Standing up, I took a step back and began to speak. “Look dude, I don’t know what your problem is, but-”

*Thud*

I fell to my knees in a moment as my whole existence felt like it was collapsing in onto itself. I felt awful I felt sick and healthy, I felt alive and dead. I wanted to die and I knew exactly what was happening to me.

“An-ti Psi-onic.” I gritted out through my teeth, causing the woman to tilt her head slightly. ‘He spoke?’ The man did not realise, however , as he was focused on keeping the tube pointed towards me.

Being reminded of such an awful feeling, the bonking of the stick my loves receive does not compare. I.

I looked around and was on home world, naturally. Jewels guards just turned in my direction and relayed a command. I knew what they were relaying at and I was just caught in the crossfire. Zircon would be fine, she was in my Mindspace this time…

Wait… “AARRRGH!” I growled out a scream as I realised what was happening. The anti Psionic property was melding the two times together, doubling the pain I was feeling. Suddenly, in the writhing agony, a deep rage began burning inside of me.

‘He dares hurt me- in my home? MY WIFES HOME!’ Rage, rage, anger, survival, Superiority, Omnikinetic!

Back in the courtyard, I muttered weakly. “I- Am.” My words suddenly turned stronger. “Above this!” Suddenly, the fatigue I felt, the inferiority that was dampening my existence was expunged as I turned my head up and looked into the blue eye slots of the man in front of me with a hatred.

The man noticed this and was shocked beyond shocked. Even the woman raised her gun towards me at this point. It did not matter, I was superior in every way. I did not even bother trying to stand up, I simply began levitating. My eyes then turned a deep violet, and in a booming voice that was not my own I decreed.

“You DARE!-” The man holding the Anti Psionic beam was sent flying and crashed through a wall over 200 meters away. “-Use that weak excuse of a concept against my existence! I am above it and your obsolete laws!”

As I veered around to take in my surrounding, something felt wrong, something felt out of place. The rage I was feeling died down upon realisation. ‘I am not prepared yet. This was wrong.’ My existence suddenly felt an excruciating pain deep within. ‘My barrier… frail. My body… frail. I am not prepared yet.’

Suddenly a huge wave of fatigue hit me like a truck as I came to mid air. I did not even bother cushioning my fall and landed straight on my back. “Urgh, the fuck was that?” I muttered as I sat up.

Right next to me was the tube the man had been pointing towards me. I picked it up before throwing it far away from me. “Fucking disgusting…” I whispered and turned to look away and rubbed my hand against my clothes to get the gross off it.

It was then I realised that the woman in the gold armour was not pointing her weapon at me anymore. In fact, she was leaning down and her pitch black face was right up next to mine, her purple slits exploring my facial features.

“Intriguing.” She paused her speech to poke my nose, in a very serious way. “Where do you originate? Your power, is it-” The woman was cut off by the sounds of guards shouting as they made their way over. Even five more individuals wearing the golden armour turned up and were observing the area, though did not seem hostile in the slightest.

As I looked around, I was completely surrounded on all sides by palace guards with their weapons pointed towards me. I felt so exhausted by what just happened, I could not even be bothered standing up.

“Hey you.” I said as I swatted her finger off my nose. “Can you vouch for me? I was defending myself.” I said as a longshot. The woman said nothing and after a moment, proceeded to boop my snoot once more, this time feeling a little bit more playful before she stood up.

As she observed the situation around her, she could tell the guards were on edge, she was as well until a moment ago. She feared one would get trigger happy before she got her answers. So, in a fluid motion, too fast for the human eye to follow, she tapped the four gems that were on her armour in a particular order and the moment she did, a small translucent dome surrounded both her and the intriguing man.

There was a murmur among the guards after this happened, they were not sure if treason was afoot, or if they were supposed to stand down. Either way, the uncomfortable situation was broken by a red headed noble as she screamed.

“Apollo!”
