chapter 1: Control & Seek

Vivion, the Skatronian girl, stood on her volcanic rock like skinned feet, upon the sharp and yet smooth surface of a mountain overlooking the volcanic landscape of Skaton, vivion's home world, it wasn't much, no trees, no fauna..only her and the ever glowing pools of extremely hot crimson red lava, that gave the black environment the splodge of colour it so desperately needed in the eyes of those who weren't as native as she was.

Vivion stood there, staring into nothing specific, her expression a neutral one, but betraying an inner conflict she would not yet admit to the world around her, were the emotions of stress? resent? loneliness? it was hard to tell with someone so apparently used to such feelings.

Her fingers curled into tight fists, her spiked fingers scratching the impenetrable skin of her hands as she did so, her expression now displaying what she had be attempting to suppress, a frown, a pout and a urge to give her life a clout, she had enough of the stress and suffering she has had to suck up ever since forever.

Sadness, Anger and Hate..Hate?, no, she wouldn't allow for such an emotion to take over her, never, she has survived 99,884 years without such an emotion to control her as it so desperately wanted to now, even after all these years life for her is no indifferent since the start.

Her clenched fists grew tight for a few moments until finally, they uncurled and relaxed, as with the rest of her exterior, but on the inside, tension was only starting to give rise like Skato-Valk, the gargantuan monolithic Volcano of Skaton, the hole she awoke from since her first days of birth.

Vivion needed a distraction..something to calm her when skaton could not, no matter how stunning it still was to her after all these years. Her mind raced with ways to calm her, to distract her, to release this tension and uncomfortable emotions she was developing...eventually she landed on one, she needed a planet, somewhere that was eventful enough, one that was interesting and able to keep her occupied sufficiently to avoid these feelings..which one is the superior query now..

After sifting through endless infinite amounts of worlds, she chose one, only one, the only one. Hidden in plain sight, an obvious choice, Earth, planet Earth, the famous world of humans, once she confirmed with herself that Earth was infact the correct planet for her stress relief, she proceeded with the effortless process of teleporting herself to Earth, which part of the planet? anywhere, she didn't give hell's ass about it. So in a blink of two eyes, she vanished from her spot upon the volcanic mountain of Skaton and reappeared on Earth, once she finished teleporting, she looked around slowly, her expression unchanged, but with more of a slight questioning look to her eyes, she surveyed the area she was in, it looked to be a park, large, green and open, the time was night, dark and very little human activity around.




 

                 Chapter 2: Where & Who?

Vivion, after looking around for some time already, finally came to the conclusion as to where she had brought herself to, it was in the USA, Atlanta, Georgia, the Central Park.

The Weather was calm and warm, no rain or clouds, just a pleasant environment, no stress..yet, Vivion, after gathering her bearings and getting an idea where she is, began walking, nowhere specific, just like some foreign girl on a walk for some fresh air after some stressful events at home, her stride a slow, steady one, her expression still neutral and a frown forming more prominently upon her face, she looked emotionally cold and distant, someone who truly is showing her years and their effects on her just by her face and stride alone.

The walk in the park was a moderately silent one, the odd hoot of an owl or the usual night time ambience you would commonly hear, the grass was short and lush, even in the dim light of the night, her face forward, but her eyes scanning every nook and cranny of her surroundings, she knew she owned this world, this town, this park, these people..even in their direct absence, but she wasn't a species that was controlling or snobby, she respected humans and every other being in existence..speaking of humans, as her stride came to a slower speed, her eyes landed on a human, a male, young, around late teenage years possibly, he seemed to have his back to her, walking in a similar way as she was previously, his head slightly lowered.

Vivion then said, her voice low and rough

Vivion: "You... you there.."

As Vivion finished, the Teenager turned around swiftly, taking a second before he raised a Kriss Vector Gun at her, aiming for her head.

Teenager: "Identify"

He demanded, his voice calm and composed, his expression calm but analytical of her, his accent British.

Vivion was composed and calm as ever, though her earlier emotions still present, and this situation not helping in any way to suppress them.

Vivion: "Do you have any idea what you're aiming that thing at, human?" She replied in a voice that sounded like ' are that stupid to threaten the likes of me?'

Teenager: "i said identify, do not disobey"

Vivion: "Vivion, Skatronian. That is what you wanted to know, yes?"

Vivion's responded with a tone that was one of annoyance and well held composure.

Valkon: "My name is Valkon. your species is not registered upon the U.N.I.T database of lifeforms, neither has the doctor mentioned your species, you will be taken to U.N.I.T HQ for questioning and identification"

She was now more annoyed than before, her jaw clenched as she spoke, her eyes narrowed

Vivion: "You're not taking me anywhere, especially to some pathetic human organisation" she said in a way that spoke lowly of U.N.I.T

Valkon: "if they are pathetic..then how come they have defeated Daleks, Cybermen, time lords and even gods?"

She laughed and let out a small smirk as she spoke

Vivion: "You forget one thing, they needed the Doctor to help them, without him they would have never accomplished those tasks"

Valkon: "they defeated a supreme dalek without him"

He admitted bluntly and honestly

Vivion paused again for a moment, her smirk now gone as one eyebrow raised at that,surprised by the statement Valkon made

Vivion: "A supreme dalek huh?.. and how did they manage that all alone exactly?"

Valkon: "brute force and competence" Valkon lowers his gun, hiding it away again, his composure still calm and neutral, much similar to Vivion.

She let a small laugh out as she looked at him with half lidded eyes, her tone sarcastic

Vivion: "Of course they did, it's the only way you humans seem to solve things, by brute force.. petty"

Valkon: "they also succeeded because of who led them..they obey leaders that have an indifference to ignorance and naivety"

After hearing what he said about this "leader" she got intrigued again as she spoke, her tone questioning

Vivion: "This person is someone who you humans obey, yes? They're your leader? Who is it, the one who helped lead this pathetic organisation in their supposed achievements?"

Valkon: "Kate Lethbridge-Stewart"

When hearing the name "Kate Lethbridge-Stewart" it seemed to ring a bell in Vivion's mind, she stopped, thinking.

Vivion: "...Kate Lethbridge-Stewart... I know that name... why is it familiar to me?" She asked, her tone questioning both you and herself at the same time

Valkon: "perhaps you could be reminded by meeting her in person"

She paused again as she thought for a moment before she responded, her tone uncaring and annoyed again.

Vivion: "Fine... I need some distraction anyway from my own problems with my emotions... lead the way human, as long as you don't try anything with me"

Valkon: "emotions? problems?..i need to know of your instabilities if i am to transition you in a way that is safe for all of us" He asked, concerned and honest.

She rolled her eyes as she spoke, her tone getting irritated again

Vivion: "It is none of your damn business human, I am in control of my emotions, there is no need for you to worry about a thing. Just keep walking and take me wherever you want. That is all you need to do"

Valkon: "i can't walk to the HQ it is in the UK"

Valkon: "i have a cybertronian as a friend, she can become a jet to traverse me wherever"

Vivion looked intrigued by hearing him mention owning a cybertronian, and she asked

Vivion: "A cybertronian huh? An autobot or a decepticon?"

Valkon: " Insecticon"

She looked impressed, she asked some more

Vivion: "An insecticon?.. I see, and you befriended it then?"

Valkon: "yes, me and her met in london, when she came to earth, i found her and promised her to be her friend and she be mine in return, we live to coexist for mutual benefit"

Vivion nodded once to what he said, she paused as she then said*

Vivion: "Understandable... can I ask a question?"

Valkon: "yes?"

Vivion: "How long is this journey to the place you call "U.N.I.T?", how long of a distance is it going to be with this... Insecticon you mentioned?"

Valkon: " around a few hours"

She took a minute to respond, she spoke in a tone, frustrated again as she responded

Vivion: "few hours you say... fine... we better get going then, lead the way, Valkon.."

A black and red Centipede crawled of Valkon's arm and landed on the ground beneath him, scuttling in the short green grass of the park, before it then immediately transformed into a two seat YF-23 Fighter Jet, opening the cockpit doors for them to enter, as they both entered, the jet took of, Vivion took the back seat as Valkon took the front, Vivion just sat back as it took off, her hands behind her head and her legs resting, she looked out the window of the plane as it began it's journey

Chapter 3: Know There & Go There

After sometime after the Jet took off and began its long journey to London in the UK, Valkon spoke, his voice calm and collected

Valkon: "what is a skatronian when it is at home then..?"

She looked at him for a moment, a small smile on her face before answering him with a subtle mocking tone

Vivion: "A Skatronian is a perfect example of perfection my human, we are strong, powerful, intelligent, advanced, and flawless. Not to mention I also outdo you petty humans by a large margin"

Valkon: "why are you on earth??"

When asked that question, she paused for a few seconds before speaking, her face serious again, even though she was still leaned back

Vivion: "....That is a long story, if you want to know why I am on earth, I'll tell you. Is that something you truly want to hear, or is it a waste of time for both of us?"

Valkon: "tell me"

She sighed, her face stayed serious as she responded

Vivion: "Very well then.. I'll tell you.. but don't blame me when you grow tired of listening because it is a long story... I'll start from the beginning.. I have not always been on earth, for I live on my home planet, Skaton. Skaton is a planet within the crimson void, a planet that is a lot more perfect and advanced than earth's pathetic excuse of one. Skaton is a planet of perfection and the planet of my species, Skatronians. Skatronians are a singular species as I am from Skaton's core, I was created from the planet itself."

Valkon: "so you are the only one to exist?"

Vivion: "Yes, I am the only Skatronian alive at this moment, every Skatronian that has existed and is to exist will only ever be born once in existence from Skaton's core itself. We Skatronians are the guardians of the crimson void and of the multiverse that sits within, Skatronians maintain balance and keep our world safe"

Valkon: "I keep humanity safe...even if they don't know it"

Valkon responds calmly, not even phased by whatever harsh truths he admits to Vivion

She laughed again as she responded, her tone sarcastic

Vivion: "Oh really? YOU keep humanity safe? How so?"

Valkon: "I protect it from foreign lifeforms"

She scoffed at that statement as she responded, her tone still sarcastic

Vivion: "Ah yes, the human hero protecting his kind. How very noble and brave of you."

Valkon: "i am not a hero, i do not do it for recognition or to be known or anything like that...not even for the money, i do it for a purpose, to exist and to die for a reason better than suicide"

Valkon responded bluntly

She paused for a few moments when hearing his words, her usual scoff and tone gone, her voice slightly calmer as she responded

Vivion: "...You would rather protect others and possibly die while you do so than take the cowards way out of your own suffering?.. That is rather... interesting to hear from a human..."

She looked out of the window, silent, she then spoke again in a calmer tone

Vivion: "You humans truly are a lot mentally stronger than most think, you are not perfect, your life is short, and you are petty... yet you still live and go on with your existence despite that...even if you are nothing but an insignificant species"

She was silent again for a short while before she spoke once more, her tone curious

Vivion: "How many have you protected? How many lives have you saved so far, human?"

Valkon:"don't know..don't care..it is the effort put in to protect the few i have..that matters"

She paused again, she let out a sigh

Vivion: "Well, you will never know how many you've saved. But you take the fact that you did save lives nevertheless, is that correct? Regardless of if you could count the amount saved, all that matters is the few that you did save, and that is all you care about?"

Valkon: "yes" Valkon responds single worldly

Vivion: "I have a question for you, Valkon"

Valkon: " and that is?"

Vivion: "Why do you risk your own life for others, Valkon? How can you put yourself in danger just to save others, is that not stupid? Does your mind not consider of yourself and your own life?" 

Valkon: "my life has never had value, but it has potential and worth..so I put what I have to use and not just waste it on nothing"

She took in those words, she was silent once more before responding, her tone was softer

Vivion: "I see... You are willing to put your life on the line for others just to give your life worth, you are willing to face danger and even death for it, all to give your life value. Is that what you mean, Valkon?"

Valkon: "yes"

She was silent for several more seconds before responding, her tone calm

Vivion Prime: "Very well then... Valkon"

She was quiet for a while before speaking again, her tone sincere

Vivion: "You have been honest and not lied, you have given me some interesting insight... I commend you for your determination and bravery, I can respect your actions, Valkon."

She was silent again for several more seconds, her expression was thoughtful and soft, her again sincere

Vivion: "I have been... judgemental."

Valkon: "no Shit.." He responded bluntly again

She took in the human's words, not getting mad at his harsh words, instead she responded, her tone once more sincere

Vivion: "Perhaps I... have some apologies to make..."

She went silent again for another few seconds before speaking again in a sincere but also curious tone

Vivion: "One last question, Valkon, before I cease talking.. if you don't mind me asking, answer me this with honesty."

Valkon: "proceed"


Vivion was silent again for more moments, she seemed thoughtful before she finally asked her question, her tone sincere and curious
  
Vivion Prime: "What will you do if you are faced with an opponent who is much more powerful than yourself? An opponent that you cannot win against under any circumstance?"

Valkon: " Die Trying" Valkon answered honestly

When hearing his response, she was actually surprised, she wasn't expecting that answer, she was silent for several seconds before responding, her tone sincere

Vivion: "Die trying... Even if you know you will die? Even if you know your efforts will be in vain and it won't make a difference?"

Valkon: "every sacrifice is a path to success for another"

She paused for a few moments again when hearing that, she was silent as she thought about his words, her expression was thoughtful. She then spoke again

Vivion Prime: "Every sacrifice... is a path to success for another... I see.."

Valkon: "out of all the species i have seen or met..or heard about...you are the most physically and psychologically incredible i have ever met.."


When hearing what he just said, her face was unreadable for a few moments as her heart skipped a beat, she was surprised and actually.. she felt flattered? She regained her composure and responded in a cold tone, though the slight blush on her face could be noticed as she tried to hide it

Vivion: "You think I am incredible?.. and out of all the other species you have seen, I am the most incredible? Is that what you said, Valkon?"

Valkon: "yes, it is, and the most beautiful overall"

She was quiet again for a few moments, her blush still visible, her tone still nonchalant

Vivion: "..... I appreciate the... compliment… Valkon..You are... the first human to compliment me in this way... It is.. appreciated, But I am more than just my looks. My intelligence and power surpass anything I look like. Don't forget that, Valkon"

Valkon: "your purpose..is just as beautiful" He said sincerely

Vivion: "You think the very purpose of my existence is... beautiful, Valkon?"

Valkon:"yes, vivion..to protect everything and everyone..with such perfection..is more than i could hope to know of existing as a being like you"

Her heart skipped a beat for the third time when hearing those words, her face was still stoic as she responded with a small smirk, her tone sarcastic again

Vivion Prime: "... Is that admiration and jealousy I hear in your words, Valkon?"

Valkon: "not jealousy...but just content knowing someone and something like you exists...so i can die knowing we are protected"

Vivion: "You... appreciate my existence and the very idea of me protecting... you and the rest of humanity.. and it gives you comfort in knowing you are safe?"

Valkon: "yes"

Vivion: "... Your words of appreciation.. mean more to me than you realise, Valkon. Thank you for appreciating my existence"

Valkon gently holds her hand from behind his pilot seat*

Valkon: "thank you...Vivion.."

When she felt his gentle hand hold her volcanic rock like hand, again it caught her off guard, and again she actually let him, she let their hands hold, and once again the way he said her name, she gently held his hand in return, her tone quiet but sincere

Vivion: "... You're welcome, Valkon..."

After some time has passed, the jet stops and goes into hovering mode.

Vivion looked around and saw that the jet had stopped, she then looked over at him

Vivion: "We seem to have stopped... May I ask why?"

Valkon: "because i believe taking you to U.N.I.T is pointless as you have already explained yourself enough to me of what and who you are...you aren't a threat to humanity, you aren't invasive or destructive..you are just you and not like a dalek or sontaran..i don't need to take you someplace just have you prodded with questions without end..so just leave, go back to skaton or wherever you want to go..you don't NEED to go anywhere" He said bluntly and honestly, with compassion and understanding

Vivion Prime: "You really mean that? You will just let me go without any questions? Without needing to take me anywhere or have me studied or questioned by a human organisation?"

Valkon: "yes"

After a few moments of considering his sudden change of mind she spoke again to him

Vivion: "....Before I leave, could I ask one more thing of you?"

Valkon: "what is it??"

Vivion: "Could you…. Look at me? Look me in the eye?"

Valkon: the back of his pilot seat folds away and he looks her in the eye "why?"

Vivion: "Please… don't be offended by what I say next.."

Valkon: just say it"

Vivion: "Can I ask a favor from you? You've let me go, you let me live and have shown me compassion and understanding, you've listened to me and understood me in a way I have never been understood before.. Can I ask A favor you do not have to give... a choice you do not have to make.?"

Valkon:" yes, you can"

She was still looking directly at him, her blush was still on her face, her tone now bashful, sincere, and also slightly shy as she spoke

Vivion: "Kiss me…"

Valkon was silently shocked, visibly, by her request

Valkon: "why?..."

She was silent for several moments, her blush growing more, her expression shy, her tone sincere

Vivion Prime: "You told me my existence is beautiful… it is the first time something like that has been said to me in my entire life. And I want to... know the feeling of a kiss, Can I? With you?"

After a few moments, Valkon responded, not eagerly, but more apprehensively and shocked

Valkon: "yes..you may"

When hearing him say yes, she was surprised he said yes but was overjoyed as well, her blush was stronger than ever, she leaned the top half of her body closer to him and then gently placed her hands on his face, both her heart and his was pounding, she nervously closed her eyes and leaned closer and then kissed him gently on the lips, as he then softly returned the kiss, holding her by the sides.
