Astrum and Ridley's new power and a shocking development

As Astrum's eyes met Dark Samus's, a mischievous glint sparked between them. The air was electric with the promise of a new plan, one that would shake the foundations of the Space Pirates' HQ. Ridley's claws tightened around Astrum's waist, his grip a gentle reminder of the power that lay at their fingertips. His gaze, too, had locked onto Dark Samus, and a slow, calculating smile spread across his face.

The Draconic suit that Dark Samus wore seemed to be a twisted mockery of her original Power Suit, the dark armor plates glinting with a malevolent sheen.

as the vision of the future faded away, they went back to sleep dreaming of the wonderfull time the 2 will have together.

Their chests rose and fell in unison, the gentle rhythm of their breathing a soothing serenade to the darkness. As they slept, the dim lighting in the room seemed to pulse in time with their heartbeats, casting a hypnotic glow over the space. The air was heavy with the scent of their lovemaking, a primal aroma that hung like a warm mist, enveloping them in its sweet, heady fragrance. Ridley's claws, still wrapped around Astrum's waist, flexed subtly, pulling her closer as he stirred in his sleep.

(Next Day)

Astrum had send the AI a picture of Dark Samus' new armor and she send it to the Mechanic Dragon's who went directly to work as Astrum and Ridley looked over the Upgrades they could apply to themselves still.

As the Mechanic Dragons' acknowledgement flashed on the comms screen, Astrum's eyes sparkled with excitement, her claws clicking against the armrest of her chair as she leaned forward, her gaze locked onto the holographic display projecting the list of available upgrades. Ridley, sensing her enthusiasm, chuckled, his deep rumble vibrating through the air, and wrapped a clawed hand around her shoulder, his scales glinting in the dim light of the room.

Astrum's slender fingers danced across the interface, scrolling through the options, her eyes scanning the descriptions and specifications with a practiced intensity.

Ridley then Pointed onto two Upgrades One was the Element Upgrade while the other was the space Upgrade one would alow you to use every Element that exists, while the other gives you the ability to Used planet and Space based attacks, although they couldn't be mixed together

Astrum's eyes narrowed, her gaze intensifying as she considered the two upgrades. Her slender fingers paused, hovering above the interface as she weighed the benefits of each option. Ridley's clawed hand, still wrapped around her shoulder, gave a gentle squeeze, his scales glinting in the dim light of the room as he urged her to make a decision.

The Element Upgrade tantalized her, promising access to every element in the galaxy. She could envision herself wielding the power of fire, ice, and lightning with equal mastery, her attacks adaptable to any situation. Her mind's eye conjured images of her opponents, caught off guard by her sudden ability to summon a maelstrom of elemental fury.

Astrum then said "How about you get the space Update and I get the element Update since you had more with space and I was more with the Elements" Ridley was OK with this.

As Ridley's deep voice rumbled in agreement, his scales seemed to glimmer with a hint of excitement, the dim light of the room catching the subtle ripple of his muscles as he nodded. Astrum's eyes locked onto his, a spark of anticipation flashing between them as they both leaned in, their faces inches apart. The air was heavy with the promise of their impending upgrade, the Mechanic Dragons' acknowledgement still flashing on the comms screen like a ticking countdown.

Astrum's slender fingers flew across the interface, selecting the Element Upgrade with a swift, decisive motion.

As Astrum felt every element build up inside her - Water, Dragon, Ice, Fire, Light, Darkness, Poison, Grass, Electricity, Nuclear, Steel, Air, and Earth - the air around her seemed to charged with an electric anticipation. Her body began to glow with a soft, ethereal light, as if the elements were stirring, responding to her presence. Ridley's eyes, fixed intently on her, gleamed with a mixture of excitement and wonder, his claws tightening ever so slightly around the armrest of his chair.

The room's dim lighting appeared to deepen, as if the shadows themselves were drawing back to witness the transformation unfolding before them.

As the elements continued to resonate within Astrum, her body began to radiate a vibrant, pulsating aura, as if the very essence of the universe was coursing through her veins. The soft, ethereal light enveloping her form grew brighter, casting an otherworldly glow across the room. Ridley's eyes, transfixed by the spectacle, seemed to burn with an inner fire, his claws flexing in time with the thrumming energy emanating from Astrum.

The air around them vibrated with an almost palpable tension, the charged particles tangling in a mad dance of attraction and repulsion.

Her muscles bulged and her scales hardened, taking on a more vibrant hue as they absorbed the energy of the elements. The room seemed to vibrate with the raw power coursing through her veins, and Ridley couldn't help but be in awe of her transformation.

"Astrum, you are truly a sight to behold," Ridley said, his voice filled with admiration and reverence.

Astrum then tried out her new power as she concentrated her Darkness element into a ball on her hand and Smirked when a Ball of Pure Drakness appeared in her hand indicating that her Process had gone perfect.

As the ball of pure darkness hovered above her palm, Astrum's smirk deepened, her eyes gleaming with a sense of satisfaction and wonder. The air around her seemed to ripple, as if the very fabric of reality was responding to the concentrated power emanating from her hand. Ridley's gaze, fixed intently on the dark orb, narrowed slightly, his claws flexing in a subtle gesture of approval.

Astrum's slender fingers, still extended, began to weave a intricate pattern in the air, as if she was conducting an unseen symphony. The darkness within the ball began to churn and writhe, tendrils of shadowy energy snaking outward like living vines.

Astrum loved her new power, the way it made her feel, the way it made her look. She reveled in the way the darkness twisted and writhed at her command, how it seemed to obey her every whim. She could feel the energy coursing through her veins, making her stronger, faster, more powerful. She felt invincible.

Ridley watched her, his eyes never leaving her form as she experimented with her new abilities. He could see the raw power radiating from her, and it filled him with a sense of pride and awe. He had always known she was powerful, but this was something else entirely.

As the darkness dissipated, the room's dim lighting seemed to reassert itself, like a held breath finally released. Astrum's slender fingers, still extended, curled inward, and she took the AI board back into her hand. The cool, metallic surface fit comfortably in her palm, a familiar weight that grounded her after the exhilarating rush of harnessing the elements.

Her gaze, still aglow with the residual energy of the darkness, flicked to the board's screen, where a cascade of data and schematics whirled, reflecting the vast possibilities of her new abilities. The Element Upgrade's true potential was only beginning to reveal itself, and Astrum's mind was already racing with the implications.

But she decided to think about that later and then selected the Space Power Upgrade for Ridley, with that he would be able to Create Planets, Black Holes, Galaxies or Supernovas and use them for attacks and he would be able to control, Manipulate and Use Dark Matter and Cosmic Power.

"I want the Space Power Upgrade for Ridley" Samus said as the AI nodded.

As the AI nodded, its holographic display flickered with a soft blue glow, and a series of intricate mechanisms whirred to life within the walls of the room. The air seemed to vibrate with anticipation, the charged particles in the atmosphere aligning themselves with the oncoming energy surge. Ridley's eyes, still aglow with a mixture of awe and admiration for Astrum's newfound abilities, now shifted to the AI, his pupils constricting slightly as he awaited the upgrade.

"Astral resonance synchronization initiated," the AI announced, its melodic voice weaving through the tension, "please stand by, Ridley."

As Ridley's body continued to undergo the transformation, his massive frame now towering over Astrum's, his muscles rippling beneath his Pitch Black scales like the cosmos itself. The galaxies, black holes, and supernovas etched into his scales pulsed with an ethereal energy, as if the very fabric of space and time had been woven into his being. His eyes, now two shimmering galaxies, gazed out like windows into the infinite expanse, their starry depths drawing Astrum in with an otherworldly allure.

As Ridley's transformation reached its climax, the air around him seemed to ripple and distort, as if reality itself was being reshaped by his newfound connection to the cosmos. The galaxies etched into his scales pulsed with an intense, blinding light, and Astrum felt herself drawn closer, her own elemental energy resonating in harmony with the celestial power coursing through Ridley's veins. The room's dim lighting appeared to fade into insignificance, eclipsed by the sheer radiance emanating from Ridley's form.

Astrum's gaze, transfixed by the spectacle, felt as though it was being pulled into the starry depths of Ridley's eyes, their gaze intertwining like cosmic threads.

while she was looking at those beautiful eyes of his she run a hand along his scales and said "you are so beautiful with your new power my mate" with a smirk on her Muzzle.

Ridley's eyes, still transfixed by the celestial power coursing through his veins, flicked down to meet Astrum's gaze. His newfound connection to the cosmos seemed to intensify as their gazes intertwined, the raw energy between them resonating like a cosmic symphony. The sound of his own heartbeat echoed in his ears, pulsing in time with the rhythm of the universe.

"Thank you, my love," Ridley replied, his voice deep and resonant. as he muzzled his mate, who shivered in excitement at the feeling of her Mates new Cosmic Power.

As their muzzles touched, a spark of cosmic energy flashed between them, sending shivers down Astrum's spine. She felt the power coursing through Ridley's veins, a primal, ancient energy that seemed to awaken a deep, long-forgotten connection within her own being. Her eyes fluttered closed, and she breathed in deeply, savoring the scent of ozone and starlight that clung to Ridley's scales.

Ridley's hot breath washed over her muzzle, sending ripples of desire through her body. His tongue, now infused with the essence of the cosmos, danced across her lips, leaving trails of stardust in its wake.

then the AI broke the intimate moment saying "Me Lord, Me Lady we have arrived at the Space Pirates HQ".

The AI's melodic voice sliced through the charged atmosphere, shattering the spell that had held Astrum and Ridley entranced. Astrum's eyes fluttered open, her gaze still locked on Ridley's, as if **** to break the connection. Ridley's tongue, still dancing across her lips, paused, and he drew back, his starry eyes gleaming with a mixture of desire and anticipation.

As the AI's words registered, Astrum's expression shifted, her gaze snapping towards the viewscreen, which flickered to life, displaying the imposing facade of the Space Pirates' HQ.

Ridley and Astrum, still processing the intoxicating interplay of cosmic energy that had welled up between them, exchanged an understanding look. Despite their rapid transformation and newfound powers, the threat of the Space Pirates loomed ever larger. They knew that their elemental connection was only the first step in the long battle ahead.

The AI had summoned Kraid, Phantom, Dragyon, Dark Samus, Mother Brain, and the High Command, although the High Command was only there as a Projection their formidable allies aligned in anticipation of the impending conflict.

although the meeting didn't go as planned as the High Command fired Astrum and Ridley after they wanted to take over the Rulership of the Space Pirates, and while the others didn't mind it, as their Leader the High Command's Decision was unchangeble.

As the High Command's words echoed through the comms system, a palpable sense of shock rippled through the assembled gathering. Astrum's eyes widened, her gaze fixed on the holographic projection of the High Command, her mind struggling to process the sudden turn of events. Ridley's starry eyes narrowed, his massive frame tensing, as if coiling for a strike. The air seemed to vibrate with tension, the weight of the High Command's decision hanging like a challenge.

Kraid's massive claws flexed, his scaly body language broadcasting his unease, while Phantom's eyes gleamed with a mixture of curiosity and concern.

Ridley then told the High Command specifically that if they don't need then then have fun getting destroyed by the Galactic Federation, before he and Astrum left the room left the room, as the Holographic Projection went away leaving the 5 stunned Admins of the Space Pirates alone.
