Fanfic: Rhulan vs The Evil One

    “Where am I?” asks Rhulan appearing on a desolate dark landscape.

 

    “Welcome!” comes a booming voice from nothingness, “sorceress, or is it Celestial Sorceress, The Grape Witch, Cosmic Sorceress, oooh, perhaps Empress is a more befitting title for your highness.”

 

   “I am here for a man,” says Rhulan, “I was supposed to have appeared on board a space craft, I assume this is not that. So why have you interfered with me?”

 

   “Me? Interfere with you? Indeed, it is you who have interfered with me. Your escapades across the multi-verse can not be ignored any longer. It is one thing to be a cameo, it is another to slaughter and interfere with the balance of good and evil. Your killing one super-hero out of many on a world means nothing; but to go to a world and kill its solitary evil force, its representation of evil is quite another matter.”

 

    “You bore me,” says Rhulan, “Get to the point or be gone.”

 

   “Very well,” says the voice, “battle my minions and perhaps I shall allow you to live.”

 

   “Idiot,” thinks Rhulan as the landscape shifts, turning to forest; she looks around her eyes narrowed in thought.

 

   “Your first opponent,” says the voice, “Is the Wolf Man!”

 

   The snarling hairy man charges from the forest.

 

   “A lycanthrope?” asks Rhulan who nonchalantly backhands the Wolf Man knocking it on the ground. She reaches down and grabs it by the ankle, dragging him high into the air. Far above the ground the Wolf Man snarls and tries to reach up at her. It howls as she spins around like a top and releases the Wolf Man back towards the ground. Like a rocket he flies, even igniting from the friction before smashing into the ground.

 

   The landscape changes once again as she lands, turning to her standing on a boat in a lagoon surrounded by jungle.

 

   “So you beat the wolf man,” says the voice, “I figured as much, but lets see how you handle the Creature of the Black Lagoon!”

 

   “A Gill Man?” asks Rhulan as the creature crawls up the side.

 

   She reaches down, grabs its head and *snap*, breaks its neck dropping it back into the water.

 

   “Did you not say,” says Rhulan talking to the air, “that you saw me kill the personification of evil, and yet you throw at me mere bestials? This is but a game, or else you are trying to tire me out before showing yourself. Know this now demon, I tire of your stupidity! Now show yourself!”

 

   Rhulan floats in the air, a giant purple sigil appears beneath her and purple sparks fly about her.

 

   “What are you doing?!” demands the voice, “this…this is impossible! How are you drawing that magic here? This is my domain! I…stop…stop it! Stop it now!”

 

   The dark landscape distorts and fades away leaving behind metal panels and projectors being corroded, small devices exploding.

 

    Rhulan cancels her spell and floats towards the door, “simpler than I thought.” She says as she touches the door, a green energy appears and cracks with the sound of glass as the door opens.

 

   “Stop!” demands the voice coming from the walls, “I can shift reality! I can summon monsters from any world! You die now!”

 

   A blue beam is projected from the walls and a horde of zombies appear before Rhulan in the hallway.

 

   “Fire Lightning!” announces Rhulan as the impossible spell blasts forth from her finger tips, igniting and destroying utterly the zombies blocking her path. Like a goddess of destruction she walks through the charred corpses, crushing bits and pieces of them beneath her boots, her cape scraping the ground like a blade.

 

    As she approaches a heavily locked door, another light appears, before Rhulan now stands a metal skeleton.

 

    “Behold the Terminator!” announces the voice.

 

    The Terminator draws a gun out, however in the blink of an eye Rhulan side steps the machine, grabs its neck in one hand and back kicks its body, severing the head from the body which is sent flying down the hall. The red glowing eyes look at her for a second before going dark.

 

    Rhulan tosses the head to the side before touching the door, the same green crackling energy and the door opens.

 

   “No!,” shouts a man inside jumping from the captain’s chair drawing an energy pistol on her, “you can’t, you couldn’t…I…I am!”

 

   “The warden of a Dimension Police prison ship,” says Rhulan, “tasks with capturing and containing various dangerous life forms from across various dimensions. You however have been using it as your own personal collection, collecting samples of various none-specific creatures, and then using them for your own entertainment by having them fight each other and various heroes and villains by proclaiming yourself some evil one out to test them. Your own people have been after you.”

 

    “Then…” says the man, “you’re a dimension police officer! You knew I was scanning that Earth for samples of its monsters? You…of course only Dimension Police tech could kill Lucifer! But I won’t be….”

 

    “Thunder Cannon!” yells Rhulan blasting the control panel with her beam like electric blast.

 

   “What?!” screams the man, “Die!”

 

   Before he can pull the trigger Rhulan *Zips* over to him and relieves him of his gun.

 

   “Your internal projection system,” says Rhulan, “that is all I took out. I may seem brutish to someone like you but I know exactly what I am doing.”

 

   “Now…Sleep!” says Rhulan as a green mist appears around the man who falls over in a deep sleep. Rhulan drags him like a sack across the floor and down the hall before tossing him into one of the collection rooms. She goes back to the control room, and with a few clicks of the environment control panel, which is a little glitchy given that while Rhulan only aimed at the internal projection system/defense systems she still shocked the whole system. However she is able to bring up an empty field environment for the so called Evil One, before she turns back on the Dimension Police beacon that this criminal had turned off when he went rogue. In mere moment Dimension Police ships have arrived, and Rhulan has vanished.

 

    ******

 

    *How kind of you* projects the goddess once again appearing before her in the space between worlds.

 

     Rhulan glares at the goddess, “I don’t need the Dimension Police taking notice of me anymore than they have.”
