Making an Entrance

I'm not normally one for going straight to **** from the beginning but I know that given my new nature I likely need to cause some destruction, and I know just how to do it. From my research of this particular Diesel-punk world I learned that there are countless cities that are struggling to keep up a good economy, due to taxes imposed to pay off a war from the past. I know just what to do, and it involves attacking a major city that proved important to the financial stability of the surrounding area. I begin by sending out a number of air based **** vehicles, enjoying the sight before me. This is the first attack so I felt the need to be present for it, and I made it clear that my forces are to capture any attractive people they find. I personally begin to head for the mayor's office, ignoring the carnage around me as my forces devastate the city around me.

As I approach the office I see a number of guards try to stop me with some interesting looking weaponry and armor, "Hey! Stop right there!" I simply smirk, these idiots are going to get it. "I don't think I will. Besides I only want to talk to the mayor, nothing more." They look at me inquisitively before one speaks up, "Who are you? Are you responsible for what is happening outside." This makes me smile even wider, before they can react I've use a bit of telekinesis to launch them into the wall and pin them there while I approach the office door.

It's locked, but I just turn the lock to dust, open the door, and walk in. I see a well dressed and well developed woman behind the desk, she looked to be in her mid thirties. The name on her desk is Sylvia. She looked at me almost like she was expecting me, "So, you must be the one invading us." I'm surprised by this, "Yes, I am. You were expecting me?"

She looked on at me still as she responded, "Yes, I did. Before you execute me publicly, which nation do you work for? Your soldiers display strange technology and even stranger capabilities. Hurling fire and projectiles without any weapons on occasion. How is this possible?" Oh, this will be fun to explain.

"I don't work for any of the nations of this world, I'm not even from this universe. I'm also not planning to kill you, I actually just might take you prisoner." What she said next left me baffled, "Ok then." This surprise me for sure.

"What? You don't find this hard to believe? You also don't care that you're being taken prisoner?" She simply nodded, "You and your forces have done things that should be impossible and if I'm not being killed then I don't really care." I'm surprised to say the least. "What about the city?" She simply shrugged, I think I'm doing the right thing here. I merely open a portal and simply point at it, "Just walk in there, I'll deal with you later."

She walks in, I turn to see the still struggling security. The pressure was making it hard for them to concentrate enough to speak, I release them before stepping through myself. The moment I enter I see her surrounded by a dozen of my servitors, one of them steps forward. "Sir, we caught her entering. We await your orders of what to do with her." I just look, "Put her in one of the holding rooms. I'll deal with her later." She's escorted off and still doesn't seem bothered, her lack of emotional response to this actually is getting on my nerves now.

I go back to continue in the attack, making sure to destroy any attempts at resistance. As I expected for this world's leaders, they aren't sending any help to this city. I can finish taking this city, expand to the surrounding towns and cities by showing how no attempt was made to protect this town and slowly build the doubt in their minds. Combined with what I can offer them, I should gain the support of many of the struggling communities. Those that resist will suffer my full wrath, which will be worse than what I did here. From there, I will slowly take every city and nation over until I control it all. After that it will be a simple matter of space exploration to see what else I can conquer here. Though for now, I have some things to worry about.

Such as when I enter the workshop to see my armor is part way complete, and Tarn is being **** to hold his sister and Vincent away from each other. I clear my throat to gain their attention, "What is it this time you two?" Sura is quick to speak up, "Vincent made a crack about my loyalty when I help in the sizing of your new armor." This left me disappointed, I need to get these two to stop arguing somehow. "You're both on thin ice, remember my promise." This seems to remind them of the punishment I mentioned earlier as they both nodded.

"Good. Take a break before continuing. Tarn, alert me if they actually get into a physical fight."

He simply nods as I walk back to the throne room, I have things to consider. Such as what I'll do next, further the invasion right away or deal with Sylvia?
