After the notification from the Hex, 10 minutes had passed and the Bio-ship was currently in the process of exiting warp space, within warp space the surroundings was a vortex of endless streaming colors, guiding the ship at speeds vastly above that of light to the set destination. Soon enough, the head of the ship breached through a crack in the endless void and appeared above the surface of a rather small planet, upon their arrival above the atmosphere of the planet, the newly renamed Alexander opened the rear of the ship and stood at the edge of a platform that protruded from the ship, looking down at the planet Alexander examined it for a moment.

"Bey'on! the ship is all yours until I get back"-Alexander

Bey'on didn't respond, but he knew that she had heard him.

Alexander moved forward and walked off the edge of the platform on the back of the ship, prompting him to begin his rapid descent unto the planet. Putting his legs together and folding his arms below his c.h.e.s.t, Alexander quickly descended until he had inevitably breached the atmosphere of the planet, from that moment on, his frame began to heat up from the friction between his body and the atmosphere.

He began to fall from the sky like a flaming spear towards the planet, swiftly cutting through the resistance against his approach to the surface, using his energy as a way to propel himself, he accelerated to the ground below in an instant. As he looked down, he could see that he was about to collide with the planet, he swiftly canceled out his momentum and contained the pressure surrounding him to prevent it from damaging the area around him.

Hovering slightly off the ground, Alexander dispersed the energy engulfing his body and placed his feet on the ground of the planet.

"And we have made contact folks"-Alexander

Landing on the firm blue grass esque protrusions on the terrain, Alexander lifted his head and scanned the scenery of the planet to familiarize himself with it as much as he could before any further action. Looking all around him, all that could be seen were a variety of unique looking trees that permeated the area, no life or activity of any kind was found in the small area of which he occupied.

While Alexander was still exploring this new environment with his eyes, an unknown sweet aroma graced his senses within an instant, the smell being almost soothing in its nature, attracting his attention immediately, and without much hassle, he was able to pinpoint that the source of the smell was the very trees around him. Walking up to one of the trees and gently placing his hand on its surface, as if it was made of clay, the area he touched sank inward and outlined his hand, once he removed it, a pink viscous fluid remained on his hand.

"What's this supposed to be, and why does it smell like honey?"-Alexander

Bringing the fluid closer to his nose, he could smell the sweetness it held in its aroma, but he could also smell something was off, promptly setting his hand on fire, the liquid evaporated into the air and released an array of colors before Alexander's eyes, drawing his attention further to what this fluid was.

Before he could pay the colors any further mind, the ground his feet rested on began to tremor violently without end, audible snapping could be heard as trees could be seen flying into the air. Alexander quickly looked into the direction of the flying trees and waited to see what was coming towards his location so violently.

Within a few moments, a large figure burst through the wall of trees in a frenzy like fashion, one of the many trees that were sent flying flew in his direction, threatening to collide with him, he casually dodged it and looked at the figure that had burst through the trees. The figure quickly became clearer to Alexander.

What stood before him was a behemoth of a creature, roughly five meters tall, incredibly large and covered in a black carapace, the head looked to be covered by armor as well, even to the degree that its eyes seemed to be covered by its carapace, only the sides of its head and the joints had a slight opening in its armor. The creature had a total of six appendages, four massive arms, and two hind legs deeply planted into the ground.

The creature released a deafening roar in Alexander's direction, as it began slamming its fists into the ground repeatedly, causing strong tremors with each blow from its fists. Alexander examined it as it displayed its heightened level of aggression towards him.

"Wow, aren't you an interesting one, what could have drawn you here so quickly? maybe the smell of the burning fluid, or maybe something else in the area?"-Alexander

As he contemplated how it could have found him so quickly, the creature sunk its arms and legs into the ground and launched itself towards him, as it was in the air, it instantly curled itself into a ball and accelerated at a greater speed, Alexander watched and captured every moment of its mid-air change, continuing to stand in place without moving as it came closer. On Collision, an explosion of dust was released as a trail continued to stretch away from where they were formerly, the strange trees in the way were pushed from there roots as if they weren't there.

Soon enough the trail stopped and the dust quickly dissipated, in full view, Alexander could be seen with his right hand held out holding the still rotating creature in place, soon enough it stopped spinning and curled out of a ball, jumping away from Alexander and launching itself into the air.

"This thing is pretty fast for its size"- Alexander

Curling into a ball in the air, the creature rapidly descended towards him.

"But why is it so agitated?"-Alexander

As the creature descended upon him, he waited for it to arrive closer before raising his left hand and stopping its descent, the force of the impact causing his legs to sink into the ground up to his knees. Alexander threw the curled-up creature to the side and waited for it to uncurl itself, as it was in the process of doing just that, he telepathically invaded its mind to see what had caused it to become so agitated, but as he went in its mind to see what he could find, he could only see a cloud of bloodl.u.s.t within its thoughts.

"What am I supposed to do with that? how could there be nothing in there?"-Alexander

He grew incredibly confused and watched as the creature lunged at him for the third time in a row with a greater level of aggression than shown before, it seemed to have become more agitated as time passed. Alexander engulfed it in his energy and restrained the creature before it could attack again, lifting it from the ground and making it gravitate towards him, it continued to thrash around in the air in an attempt to escape his hold, but its resistance was in vain.

"Seeing as how you could do all this in such a short amount of time, you could be very useful later on. Until I find something stronger that is"-Alexander

Once it was in front of him, Alexander placed his hand on its head and searched deeper within its mind for its sudden aggression towards him, after a quick look, he came to see that he invaded the creature's territory and it was currently in a hyper agitated state, after finding the core of the creature's aggression, he then proceeded to replace that aggression with trust and loyalty, generating false memories and rewiring the brain of the creature. Immediately after doing so, it quickly stopped thrashing around and became docile towards him.

Putting the creature down, it sat on its hind legs and looked at Alexander in a calm state, not expressing even a hint of the aggression it had before.

"Good"-Alexander

Bringing attention to the cuff on his left bicep, he waved his right hand over it, prompting the device to activate, the cuff then proceeded to quickly liquefy and flow off his arm, landing on the soil of the ground beneath him. After it came in contact with the ground, it quickly rose and converged into the phantom modular armor as it stood in wait for directions.

"Scan this place for life forms, procure the essence of all that you can find"-Alexander

[As you wish]

As he gave out his orders to Hex, the armor swiftly vanished from in front of him and began to jump from tree to tree in search of any life it could find, Alexander then turned around and jumped on the back of the creature that he had just tamed, causing it to get up and wait for his instructions.

"Let's get going, I want to see as much as this place as I can for the time being"-Alexander

The creature began to walk forward in a straight line without a true destination, continuing on a path to entertain its new owner, Alexander sat arms crossed and waited on its back for whatever was to come in the near future, hoping that he could find something that could prove to be useful to him in any way.
