DEKA - ANYTHING BUT PORTALS (PORTAL PANDEMONIUM EVENT)

Prompt #4 - Halt, Criminal!

Draw or write about your character confronting Portal Posi.

~~~~~

Chaos.

The true pandemonium isn't just from the Portals malfunctioning. It's also the people who are affecting it.

And Stella is no exception.

The lavender female serpentine knew her laboratory blew up. Someone has just exploded her robots too. But she hears the sound of something floating. Knowing she's also being hunted down, not for the bounty set by the Adventurers' Guild, but for the sick twisted amusement of four female individuals suspected to be anomalies, she slithers into the cave system, trying to escape what lies ahead.

Posi had also researched on anomalous beings, those whose presence can alter anyone, or make anyone change drastically. Their actions and their ways of life are not for the faint of heart, even if they belonged from other worlds. She was taking data of four individuals, whose sudden appearance got her into the work of trying to get to know who they are, why they have come to the Paper-verse, and what awaits for this universe should they get loose.

However, she is cornered by a dead end.

And she armed herself with a dagger and a plasma gun on whoever is coming.

What came out was a young woman around her 20's. She suspiciously looks like a teenager, but she is a young adult. She is sitting on a magic broom made of Sky, but its properties are... strange. Posi lowered her gun and dagger, knowing it's just a naive human. Maybe some slick talk can make her turn around.

~~~~~
"How about you go turn your cutesy back and go meet your friends, what'cha say?" Posi sneered at Stella.

"How about I make you my babysitter?" Stella answers back, that plastered smile still on her face.

Posi frowns. "I'm a scientist, not a caretaker! I don't babysit things who waste my time for grandeur research!"

"Then I will sentence you to infinite limbo."

She felt shivers up her spine hearing what Stella said.

"What do you mean by that?" The Thath woman asks.

"I make you suffer a thousand loopholes each second you breathe on this planet, each second you tread the earth, each second you do anything. You will be sentenced to the eternal paradox, where you will fall through the same place time and time again."

"... Impossible, you're just a human-"

"Look again, pet."

Posi saw something in Stella behind her cute smile. Her gaze is so innocent, her smile just nothing but positivity. Her aura, on the contrary, contradicts her expression. It's like something dark is hiding within that human's face. What is in that brain of hers? How is she so calm saying these words?!

Stella floats closer to Posi, making her back away in fear.

"Don't do this, human!" Posi tries to convince Stella otherwise.

"Nope, I'm bored. I need something to play with."

She clasps her hands together, pleading for the human on a magic brush to decide otherwise.

"I beg you, I'll do anything! I'll do your Math homework, teach you technology, help you become the greatest inventor ever! Anything but THAT!"

Stella kept smiling innocently.

Posi felt the silence run so deep that it's like she's considering her options. She hopes this human will change her mind, and probably give her a reasonable sentence that won't give her trauma.

But Stella responds darkly, sending Posi the worst sentence ever to exist for a supposed "criminal".

"No."
