Villain Retirement

"If you wanted peace…

…then you should have visited when Megawoman was awake."

And with those words, the three eyes of the alien floating beside Riley… popped. The snapping noises did not stop there, however, as the alien's limbs started to crack; its broken bones protruded, penetrating its skin.

And with the alien wearing only minimal clothing unlike its warrior counterpart, everyone could see its transparent, water-like blood flowing and trailing– its skin that once looked like the moving ocean, slowly turning grey.

And soon, the alien's ribs started to open up– revealing its organs that completely differed from that of a human's… as it only seemed to have a single one; and with it throbbing uncontrollably, then it was quite possibly the heart.

"...Interesting," Riley then tilted his head to the side as he looked at the alien insides, "Some parts are the same, but–"

And before Riley could finish his words, the other alien rushed towards him– the blade of its spear, already swinging straight for Riley's head.

Riley, however, did not dodge even as his eyes followed the spear and instead just raised his hand; blocking the spear with his palm. And as soon as the blade made contact, it started to light up in a color that Riley has never seen before.

"!!!"

Riley then felt his vision shift as a sort of explosion plunged him away; causing him to violently roll on the ground and smash through the frozen individuals– tearing them from limb to limb.

"..." Riley blinked a couple of times as he stared at the night sky. He just told the people here that none of them were going to die, but now some already did. It would seem he has been breaking his promises a lot lately, that… wasn't good.

He was about to stand up, but before he could do so, another tear in the space appeared above him; and without even any warning, another alien warrior emerged, its spear already heading towards Riley.

"..." And once again, Riley did not try to avoid– this time not even lifting a finger. His only movement? The smile that was slowly crawling on his face.

He did not move, even as the tip of the spear reached his head; letting it plunge him deep into the grounds of Toronto as the weird light seemingly bombarded him with some sort of force; straight towards the lower side of the floating city.

Riley then stared at the face of the alien warrior. And although they might look different than humans, their expressions seemed to almost be the same– and what the alien was showing now was clearly… anger.

And as he and the alien were falling to the ground, Riley finally moved; his hand, moving towards the blade of the spear and… flicking it with his finger. This caused the alien to somewhat lose balance; but still, it quickly swung its spear, using the momentum to spin his body and regain his footing in the air.

A strange light then emerged from the alien's armor– specifically from its greaves which somewhat allowed it to float– No, which allowed it to step on air.

"Hm," Riley, on the other hand, continued to let himself fall for a while, before also finally stopping in the air as he stared at the alien. The alien also returned Riley's stare; its three eyes, glaring Riley directly in the eyes.

Riley then stretched his hand towards the alien; causing it to almost tumble as the spear that it was firmly holding, started to fly away. The alien managed to catch it, however; as he threw himself along with the spear toward Riley.

And this time, Riley dodged; ever-so-slightly dodging the spear as he tilted his head to the side– he then swung his palm towards the alien's large throat, causing it to choke.

And as soon as it opened its mouth, both of Riley's hands… moved inside it– keeping it open.

"...Mouth is different than ours," Riley muttered, "Except you have 2 layers of teeth… No canines… herbivores?"

"Krr!"

"..." Riley then squinted his eyes as the alien's double uvula started to tremble as it screamed, "Your screams… are disappointing."

Riley then let go of the alien's mouth as he floated back; and quickly, the alien pointed its spear towards Riley once again.

"What are you!?" The alien then said, "This planet should no longer have the Themarian!"

"She is still here," Riley quickly answered, "Just sleeping."

And as soon as Riley's words reached the alien, its three eyes quickly widened– a universal expression for shock, Riley reckoned.

The alien also dropped its spear as it once again stared at Riley; but after a few seconds, it turned around and started running upwards– it was about to open its mouth, but before it could let out any alien words… the blade of its spear pierced the back of its head, penetrating through his mouth.

Even through this, however, the alien seemed to still be alive as its three eyes followed Riley as he floated in front of it.

"You're not… planning on retreating, are you?" A smile once again appeared on Riley's face as he floated in front of the alien; its head, almost the size of Riley's torso.

"You just got here, alien. I'd recommend staying for a few days," he then said as he looked the alien straight in the eyes– a little hard to do considering it has three, "Just because you found out that Megawoman is still here, you are leaving?"

The alien then lifted its hand; holding some sort of baton that once again held the unrecognizable color; and with a flick of his hand, this light shot out.

"No."

But before the light could even fly a meter away, Riley stretched his hand towards it; holding the light in the air and preventing it from exploding. And as soon as the alien saw this, it started to struggle– the spear that was lodged into its mouth, once again letting out the weird color.

And with a quiet thunder… it exploded. But alas, this explosion was once again kept inside an invisible sphere that surrounded Riley and the alien, which was now in different pieces and smearing the invisible sphere that Riley created.

"I apologize, alien. But you and your race are not leaving Earth just yet. I…

…am going to kill all of you first."

"Our servers are connected again!"

"Contact the god damn alien! Since it can speak our language, we could probably talk with it!"

"Let's not rush to it."

The acting leader of the World Government, Reginald Champ, was now currently in NASA. After she advised all the other world leaders to send out their military, she immediately traveled to NASA. Her goal?

To try and speak with whoever was in charge on the other side.

"Are you the one responsible for making contact with them?" Reginald then placed her hand on the engineer that was leading the team; her voice, containing not even a hint of arrogance or authority, "Are you able to connect us to them again?"

"I… I think we can," the engineer quickly nodded as he ordered his team to try and trace the signal– and not even a minute after, the screen changed.

"That was fast," Reginald nodded, "Can it hear us?"

[Hello, mud people.]

"That…" The engineer, as well as most of the people in the room all stood up as they saw… the pink-skinned individual on the screen,

"...It's not them."
