Dominator had been impressed by Mysterio’s entrance, and she could count on one hand the number of times a villain had actually been able to make a positive impression on her. Sure, he was a little cheesy, but he didn’t seem like a total moron. That put him, easily, in the top ten.
Still, she couldn’t let that level of arrogance go unmatched, could she?
“Mysterio the Magnificent, huh?” She purred, her voice definitely not sounding fearful or full of praise – more amused. Her lip curled into a smirk, and she stepped towards the impressive figure, sliding the card somewhere about her outfit as she did so. The woman makes sure he can see her giving him the once over, a clear inspection up and down.
“Well, aren’t you … entertaining. The classic smoke bomb entrance, some nice execution there too.” She waved one gloved hand around vaguely, “I mean, if it were me, I’d couple it with an actual execution, but, you can’t have everything I guess.”
Those long legs of hers completed a graceful circuit of the tall illusion – coming frightfully close to walking right through the invisible villain, but thankfully he was both quick and stealthy enough that he could dart out the way before Dominator touched him. Besides, her attention was most definitely taken up with the muscle-bound figure before her. Usually, beefcakes were tiresome idiots – but this one seemed like he actually knew how to have a good time!
“I’m Lord Dominator.” She started, opening her mouth to continue, only to be shut up by the sudden interruption of Chara’s entrance. Dominator’s bright pink eyes took in the child, and she burst out laughing all over again – a short, sharp cackle.
"Consequences?” She asked, “Let me put this in a way even YOU can understand!"
She spared a glimpse towards Mysterio. It was difficult, with the helmet, to be sure whether he knew what was coming next. But there are some connections between villains which go beyond mere words and into something deeper; the laws of genre convention demand it. She dipped her head, and she was certain that he’d have her back.
“HIT IT!”
Snapping her fingers in time to a beat, the woman’s voice was low and dark and she started to sing. Dominator loomed over Chara, looking down on the girl with the knife as she answered the ‘question’ that the girl had put to her.
"I bring the wrath with doom impending,
Fires burn and worlds ending,
Your planet's gone and I'm ascending!”
A twirl, and she danced backwards, throwing her arms open to encompass the whole blank space and everyone in it. Dominator’s face was a picture of rapturous glee, the woman’s grin pure malevolence.
“Your cries are like the sweetest birdsong.”
She stretched her hand out, and a bluebird descended from above, twittering, to land on her finger like some bizarre parody of a Disney Princess…
“Actually, scratch that, the birds are all gone!”
A sudden clenching of her hand and the bird disappeared with a snap.
“And now your death is sure to come on.”
Heatless flame licked around the trio, and Dominator made a mental note to thank Mysterio for these touches later. The woman’s helmet closed sharply over her features, and the green visor flashed dark red as she summoned up her armour for added height, casting a shadow that seemed to stretch over all three. Her voice was now a reverberating growl that seemed almost to shake the ground on its own!
“You scared? Good! Because I'm CRUSHING!
Your armies, your heart, and I'm not bluffing!
My ONLY desire to see you suffering!”
She stomped back towards Chara and then… the armour melted away, as quickly as it had appeared, and she was behind the girl, voice a silky-sweet coo.
“I'm not doing this because I'm upset,
I destroy civilisations because I am THE BEST
Greatest in the galaxy!”
Her fingers came together to form a hashtag symbol next to her head, coupled with a sway of her hips to the side.
“SMASHTAG, betterthantherest. See, in case you forget...”
Where the pedestal came from was a mysterious mystery, but she wasn’t going to question it as she walked up the stairs, fashionable sneakers taking each step to place her above her no-doubt-awestruck audience, belting out the chorus with renewed vigour.
“I bring the wrath with doom impending,
Fires burn and worlds ending,
Your planet's gone and I'm ascending!”
Looking down on them all, she pointed at the child once more; directly addressing Chara with provocative verse.
“You've got LIGHT YEARS before you catch up to me,
You talk a big game but you're how old, what, three?
Even other villains can't touch me!”
Lunging from the top of the pedestal she crashed down into the middle of the group, fist slamming into the floor with enough force to crack it, sending splinters of strange white matter erupting up around her. Her neck cracked, and she turned to look into Chara’s eyes.
“You talk about consequences? Hah! I'm QUAKING!
Oh wait, no, that's laughter; I'm shaking!”
And she is! Straightening up to her full height, the woman’s shoulders shudder with laughter and she throws her head back, giving herself a couple of moments to flex her hand and try to work out the bruising – why did she do that? It really hurt! But, the show had to go on.
“Hahahahaha!”
And then a pirouette, sashaying her hips from side to side.
“Your question? Here's my answer, sweet thing:
Any punishment you can name? I really deserve it!”
Dark shadowy bars fall across her – as though she were locked up… for a moment, she cowers back from her unseen jailer, and then, suddenly, both hands burst into lava-covered glory, and the shadows explode away.
“But I'm the greatest in the galaxy, silly twit,
So what're you gonna do? You're going to sit there as I commit
Atrocity after atrocity 'cause…”
Jak was favoured at this point – the woman stalking towards him with fire blazing in her eyes.
“I bring the wrath with doom impending,
Fires burn and worlds ending,
Your planet's gone and I'm ascending!”
By this point, Mysterio had been given enough time to be ready – and if Dominator had been impressed and thankful before, what happened next was sure to buy her gratitude.
Because she found herself standing atop a world – one she didn’t recognise, but then she’d never been to Earth. As she walked in place, the globe twirled beneath her feet, and what had been a ferocious smile turns to one of genuine, energetic delight. Man! She’d been in such a bad mood before, but this? This was actually fun!
“Can't stop me cause you know I'm right!
Where I step you'll find no light,
What's that brat? You want to put up a fight?”
Lava covered hands were flicked towards her chest in the classic ‘come on then’ motion, the Greatest in the Galaxy inviting small fry to come out and play.
“That's cute! Really! You're welcome to try!
I tried to play nice now you're all gonna die,
Because I'm soaring above consequences high in the sky,”
She looked towards where she'd last seen Mysterio but... where was that guy? Hm. She'd just assumed that it was him handling the special effects, but she couldn't actually see him. Maybe she was doing it through sheer force of will? That was how things were supposed to work here, right? But... if he'd missed this, she was actually going to be annoyed!
The momentary hesitation brought a few beats of silence, and then she dipped her head – a signal such a professional showman was sure to realise meant that she was coming towards the end of the song. She wasn't sure if it was her or him, but she was going to bring this thing to the hottest climax she could manage - her finger pointing out at her audience.
“Say your prayers, you know how this one ends...”
And the world came to a stop beneath her feet.
“I'm bringing the wrath with doom impending!”
Hopping backwards, her arms stretched out, grasping the globe and lifting it up above her head. Lava dripped from her fingers, scoring deep gouges across the Earth’s surface. The cries and screams of desperate people barely audible in the wind above her raised voice.
“The fires burning and your world's ending!”
Flames ignite across the globe’s surface, cities, countries, continents erupting into bright and dazzling flame, reflected in Dominator’s eyes as she stares with rapturous glee at the decimated world.
“Your planet's gone and I'm ascending!”
Her hands come together, and there’s a brilliant flash of light, almost blindingly bright as the world is crushed beneath her fingers, and she finds herself rising up on a platform over the gathered group.
“Your hope is gone and I'm ascending!”
Her visor snapped back down, just to add that booming, menacing growl in the final line.
“Your life is DONE and I'M! ASCENDING!"
And just like that, normality is restored to the world. The music – for there had been music – dies away with that last word, and Dominator’s knees quaked before they gave out. She was left on the platform, and with some effort she managed to wrench her helmet off, showing the bright white mane that was normally kept hidden – now completely and totally drenched with sweat.
“Man, I swear that did not take nearly as much out of me the last time…” She panted to herself. Geez! Stupid Omniverse, one little performance full of continuous acrobatics and bellowing, and she was ready to take a nap!
No. She couldn’t allow that. Forcing herself back up to her feet, her knees shook but she could still stare down at the trio, and shout out:
“Was that clear enough for you? Huh?!”
Still, she couldn’t let that level of arrogance go unmatched, could she?
“Mysterio the Magnificent, huh?” She purred, her voice definitely not sounding fearful or full of praise – more amused. Her lip curled into a smirk, and she stepped towards the impressive figure, sliding the card somewhere about her outfit as she did so.
