———

Terrios; Time: June 26th, 10:32 A.M. Location: UMF – Main Military Base, South-East of Solar City.

——

On the 25th, Sterling kissed Kali bye for a bit & then went back to Azure Island, then under Greater Solar City to the World Gate (World Portal), which took him to Terrios.

Now, Sterling was talking to his 'President' Sterling Clone. "So did anything bad happen?" Sterling asks P-Sterling. "Mmm– Oh! Two things." P-Sterling said As OG-Sterling nodded. "One, 31 of our C10s Light Speed Satellites were destroyed. But we managed to connect to an Unknown Satellite of Sorts & got the map of The Galaxy, In four words We are not alone…"

P-Sterling said, With that OG-Sterling nodded. "Do we know if we're part of another universe? Like Star Terk Or maybe Star Wars?" OG-Sterling asked P-Sterling. "I & T-Sterling (Training Sterling) had Ahsoka look at The Galaxy Map & it's from Star Wars…" P-Sterling said… "I see… Anything else?" Sterling asked. "Mmm– Two things one… Diana loves you &! 14 of 31 C10s Light Speed Satellites found 27 Earth/Terrios-like planets, There's one! Where there are four liveable planets in the same solar system! Crazy right?!"

As the Late Morning sun bathed the UMF – Main Military Base in a golden light, Sterling leaned back in his chair, absorbing the information relayed by his clone, P-Sterling. The implications of their latest discovery sent a thrill of excitement through him. "So, We have a connection to another galaxy, And it's from the Star Wars universe?" He mused, His mind racing with possibilities.

P-Sterling nodded, His expression serious. "Exactly. This opens up a range of options for us. We might be able to Establish Communications, Trade Routes, Or even Alliances with civilizations out there. The potential for expanding our influence is immense."

Sterling's brow furrowed slightly as he contemplated the next steps. "What about the destroyed satellites? Do we know who Or what is responsible?"

"Not yet," P-Sterling replied, Crossing his arms. "We're still analyzing the data we retrieved from the unknown satellite. It could have been a cosmic event Or something more deliberate. We need to be cautious."

"Agreed." Sterling said, His tone turning serious. "We can't afford to let our guard down. For now, Let's focus on the planets we've identified. If any of them are inhabitable, It could provide us with valuable resources & possibly allies."

P-Sterling leaned forward, His eyes bright with enthusiasm. "There's one planet in particular that stands out. It's located in the same solar system as three others, And it appears to have rich ecosystems, abundant resources, and signs of intelligent life. If we can establish a foothold there, It could change everything for us."

Sterling felt a surge of determination. "Then we need to prepare an expedition. Gather a team—one that includes Ahsoka. Her skills and knowledge will be vital in navigating any potential conflicts we might encounter."

P-Sterling nodded, Already taking mental notes. "I'll coordinate with the logistics team to ensure we have everything we need. We'll need Battleships, Supplies, And a Security Detail. This could be a major operation for the UMF."

As they spoke, Sterling's thoughts drifted to Diana Prince. He couldn't shake the warmth that spread through him at the thought of her. She had been a steadfast source of support, Her kindness and bravery a balm during tumultuous times. "And what about Diana? I know she cares for me, but how do I express my feelings without complicating our dynamic?" He wondered aloud.

P-Sterling raised an eyebrow, A teasing smirk forming on his lips. "You mean to tell me that you're not ready to admit you have feelings for her? Come on, Sterling. She's a wonderful person, And if she loves you, you should at least acknowledge it."

Sterling sighed, Running a hand through his hair. "I know, I know. It's just… I've always been focused on the mission. Now, with everything happening with the new planets and the potential for alliances, I can't help but feel that my priorities need to be clear."

"Priorities can include relationships, too." P-Sterling chimed in. "You're not just a leader; You're a person. Don't forget that."

Sterling chuckled lightly, Appreciating his clone's perspective. "You're right. I'll talk to her when I get the chance, I just hope I don't mess things up."

P-Sterling waved his hand dismissively. "You'll be fine. Just be honest, That's all anyone ever really wants."

With a newfound sense of resolve, Sterling stood up, ready to take action. "Let's get to work on those preparations. I'll check in with Ahsoka & then meet with the rest of the team."

As he made his way out of the office, he felt a rush of anticipation. The possibilities before him felt endless, and he was determined to explore every avenue for the United Minutemen Federation.

Terrios; Time: June 26th, 11:15 A.M. Location: UMF – Main Military Base, Command Center.

——

As Sterling entered the bustling Command Center, The hum of activity surrounded him like a vibrant symphony. Officers were busy coordinating logistics and analyzing data, But amidst the organized chaos, he spotted Ahsoka Tano & Diana Prince standing together, their expressions animated with excitement.

"Ahsoka! Diana! How are you two? Sterling called out, Approaching them with a smile that lit up his face.

Ahsoka turned, Her blue eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "We've been going over the data from the satellites & planning our next steps. It's incredible, Sterling! The potential for exploration is beyond anything we've imagined!"

Diana, Standing tall beside Ahsoka, nodded in agreement. "I can't believe we might be on the brink of discovering new worlds. It's thrilling! I've been looking into the cultures we might encounter & how we can approach them diplomatically."

Sterling felt a surge of pride at their dedication. "That's great to hear! Ahsoka, Your experience will be invaluable on this mission. And Diana, Your diplomatic skills will help ensure we make a good impression."

Ahsoka grinned, Her excitement infectious. "I've already mapped out a few strategies for potential encounters. We should be prepared for anything—from trade discussions to cultural exchanges."

P-Sterling peaked inside the bustling Command Center and then saw Sterling & quickly walked towards Sterling, Ahsoka, And Diana. "Hey! Guys, I got some more information! About the new 27 Earth/Terrios-like Planets." P-Sterling said.

Sterling looks at P-Sterling so does Ahsoka & Diana. "Mmm.? Ok what can you tell us?" Sterling asks P-Sterling. "Okay! 26 of the 27 planets don't have any intelligent life like us. But one! Has intelligent life and they look a lot like the Faunus!" P-Sterling made this clear to them.

The Atmosphere shifted as P-Sterling's revelation sank in, The gravity of his words hanging in the air like an electric charge. Sterling exchanged glances with Ahsoka & Diana, The excitement palpable in their expressions.

"Faunus-Like intelligent life?" Ahsoka echoed, Her eyes widening with intrigue. "What do we know about them? Are they similar in culture, Or do they have their own unique customs?"

P-Sterling nodded, His demeanor focused. "According to the preliminary scans, The planet—designated as Terra-5—has a rich biosphere and a variety of ecosystems. The inhabitants show signs of advanced social structures, Resembling the Faunus in some aspects but likely possessing their own distinct cultural identity. They seem to have a more animalistic appearance, With features reflecting the local fauna."

"Interesting," Sterling mused, Rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "This could be a major opportunity for diplomacy. If they're like the Faunus, We might have common ground to build upon."

Diana stepped forward, Her expression serious yet hopeful. "What's our next step? If we're going to make contact, We need to approach this carefully. We don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past with other civilizations."

"Agreed," Ahsoka chimed in, Her voice steady. "We need to gather as much information as possible before making contact. Understanding their social dynamics and values will be crucial."

"But that can be done later…" Sterling says as Sterling uses "Dimensional Storage" And grabs an Unknown Device. "This is a Reality-Warper Device," Sterling said. "It can do a lot of things like change the Universe we are in Or make it seem like I was always somewhere when I was never there. Do you understand what I am trying to say?" Sterling asks.

"How do you plan on using it?" Diana asks Sterling. "I'll be making a Union with Earth & Terrios, Then making the United Unknown Space. What do you think?" Sterling asks Diana, Ahsoka, P-Sterling, And even 2B & A2 who just walked into the Command Center.

The Atmosphere in the Command Center shifted again, This time with a mix of curiosity & apprehension as Sterling revealed the Reality-Warper Device. The implications of such a powerful tool sparked a flurry of questions and ideas among the gathered team.

"Wait, You're saying we could potentially alter our reality or change the universe we're in?" Ahsoka asked, Her blue eyes wide with a blend of excitement & caution. "That's incredible! But it also sounds risky. How do we ensure we don't accidentally create chaos?"

Diana stepped closer, Her own interest piqued. "What exactly do you mean by a 'Union with Earth & Terrios'? Are you suggesting we could merge the two worlds or create a new entity altogether?"

Sterling shakes his head. "No… Not like that, Only like when two countries have a Union! Instead of just one country, All countries will combine into one with our country The United Minutemen Federation." Sterling explains.

The Room buzzed with conversation as Sterling's explanation began to sink in. Ahsoka's eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and caution, While Diana's expression reflected her thoughtful nature. The implications of a united front with Earth & Terrios could reshape the landscape of their existence.

"So, You're saying we'd essentially be establishing an alliance that allows both worlds to interact and collaborate more closely?" Ahsoka asked, Her voice steady with determination. "That could open the door to Vast Resources, Knowledge, And Cultural exchange."

"Exactly," Sterling affirmed, His excitement palpable. "By forming this union, We can create a framework for collaboration—Sharing Technology, Culture, And Resources that will benefit everyone involved. It's about building a bridge, Not a barrier."

Diana nodded, Her brow furrowing slightly as she considered the potential challenges. "Ok then, Just be careful Sterling." Sterling nodded at Diana.

———

After Ten Minutes a blinding light swept over everyone.

—–

After a bit of time, The blinding light died down.

———

Terrios; Time: June 26th, 2:27 P.M. Location: UMF – Main Military Base, Command Center.

——

As the blinding light gradually faded, The Command Center returned to its previous state of organized chaos, though a palpable sense of awe and anticipation lingered in the air. Officers exchanged bewildered glances, Unsure of what had transpired during those brief moments. Sterling stood at the forefront, His expression a mix of excitement & determination.

"Is everyone alright?" He asked, Scanning the room. Ahsoka was the first to regain her composure, blinking rapidly as she adjusted to the sudden shift in atmosphere.

"I'm fine!" She said, Her voice steady. "What just happened? Was that the Reality-Warper Device activating?"

Diana brushed a strand of her onyx hair behind her ear, Her eyes wide with curiosity. "It felt like a surge of energy. Did it work? Have we initiated the union?"

Sterling took a moment to steady himself, Feeling the residual energy coursing through him. "I believe so. The device was meant to create the framework for our union, Connecting us more deeply with Earth & Terrios. We need to assess what has changed."

P-Sterling stepped forward, His brow furrowed in concentration. "Let's run a diagnostic on the system & see if there are any new signals or changes in the data streams. We need to understand the implications of what just happened."

As the team sprang into action, Officers began to analyze the screens filled with fluctuating data. Ahsoka & Diana moved to assist, Their focus unwavering as they scanned for any signs of communication or shifts in the cosmic landscape.

"Look!" Ahsoka suddenly exclaimed, Pointing at Four of the Main Monitors. "We're receiving signals from all 27 Planets! They all have UMF Bases! From the looks of it around 213,571 UMF Bases..." 'Holy shi–' But soon her inner thoughts were cut off.

"Sir! Look!" 2B & A2 suddenly exclaimed, Pointing at The only Huge Main Monitor. The only one focused on Earth. "UMF Bases are all over Earth from North America to South Asia… One Sec…" 2B used the Supercomputer, So 2B smiled as if she were the sun. "There are no Rebellions, No Violence Revolutions, No Secret Police, There are still crimes but fewer by 67.3%!" 2B explained.

But then A2 continued. "Look at the Earth's New World Map! North, Central, And South America combined… Europe & North Asia combined… The Middle East & some of North Africa are UEF's Autonomous Region. The same is true for Oceania as they are UEF's Autonomous Region too. Even South Africa is UEF's Autonomous Region. But all of it is the United Earth Federation under the control of The United Minutemen Federation." A2 explained in depth.

The Atmosphere in the Command Center was electric, Charged with excitement and awe. As the team absorbed the implications of the new data pouring in from the monitors, Sterling felt a mix of pride and responsibility swell within him. They had just taken a monumental step toward uniting not just their worlds but potentially reshaping the entire landscape of Earth & Terrios.

"Are you saying the entire Earth has been restructured under the United Earth Federation?" Sterling asked, His voice filled with disbelief & excitement. "This is beyond anything we could have imagined!"

Ahsoka nodded vigorously, Her eyes gleaming with enthusiasm. "Yes! The data suggests that all regions have come together, creating a unified front. If we can communicate effectively, we can solidify this union and ensure that it benefits everyone!"

Diana approached the monitor displaying the new world map, Her expression thoughtful. "This is an incredible opportunity. We can now engage with Earth as allies rather than separate entities. But we must tread carefully to ensure that all voices are heard in this new federation."

P-Sterling interjected, "We need to ensure that the transition is smooth. The last thing we want is for the inhabitants of Earth to feel alienated or overwhelmed by these changes. We should prepare a detailed communication plan that explains the new structure and encourages collaboration among the various regions."

"Agreed," Ahsoka said, Her tone serious. "We can leverage our connections with the inhabitants of Terra-5 to help facilitate communication. If we can present this union as a positive change, we can foster goodwill and cooperation right from the start."

"Let's start drafting that communication," Sterling suggested, feeling a surge of determination. "We should clearly outline the benefits of this union & emphasize the shared values we hope to promote. It's essential that everyone understands they are part of this new chapter."

As the team got to work, Sterling felt a sense of purpose driving him forward. He moved through the bustling command center, Overseeing the preparations & ensuring that everyone was focused on the task at hand. The stakes were high, And he knew that their actions over the next few days would set the tone for the future of the United Minutemen Federation & its new allies.

Terrios; Time: June 27th, 10:00 A.M. Location: UMF – Main Military Base, Conference Room.

——

The following morning, The Conference Room was filled with key personnel from both the UMF & the newly established United Earth Federation. Sterling stood at the head of the table, Flanked by Ahsoka, Diana, And P-Sterling, ready to present their plans for the union. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as everyone took their seats.

"Thank you all for being here today," Sterling began, His voice steady & commanding. "We stand at a pivotal moment in our history. The union we are establishing between the United Minutemen Federation and the United Earth Federation will create opportunities for collaboration and growth that we've never seen before."

He gestured to the large monitor displaying the new world map. "As you can see, The Earth is now organized into regions that are united under a single federation. This not only streamlines governance but also fosters a sense of community among the diverse cultures & populations across your planet."

"Now just to make sure that anyone important is here… Pax America…" Sterling asked, A Beautiful Blonde woman with Emerald Green Eyes stood up. "Here, Sir! I am Jennifer Giffin from the State of United America, What was called the United States of America." She clarified, Sterling then nodded.

"Europe/North Asia…?" Sterling asked, Another Beautiful Blonde woman with Sky Blue Eyes stood up. "Here, Sir! I am Alessia Schultz from the State of Garmany." She said.

"United Africa…?" Sterling asked, This time a Man with Jet-Black Haired with Oeacn Blue Eyes stood up. "Here, Sir! I am Jabari Adebowale from the State of Nigeria." She said.

"United Asia…?" Sterling asked, Another woman stood up with Jet-Black Haired with Oeacn Blue Eyes. "Here, Sir! I am Hae Hikari Kobayashi from the State of Japan & South Korea." She said.

Sterling nodded. "Now for the Autonomous Regions… Oceania..?" A Beautiful Light Brown Hair woman with Starry Blue Eyes stood up. "Here, Sir! I am Charlotte Williams from the Autonomous Region of Australia." She clarified, Sterling then nodded.

Sterling nodded. "Now for the Autonomous Regions… Unified Middle East..?" Sterling asked, A Beautiful Thick, Dark Brown Hair woman with Hazel Green Eyes stood up. "Here, Sir! I am Eden Barak from the Autonomous Region of Israel." She said.

Sterling nodded. "Now for the Autonomous Regions… Unified South Africa..?" Sterling asked, A Beautiful Thick, Black Hair woman with Light Brown Eyes stood up. "Here, Sir! I am Kaya Nkosi from the Autonomous Region of South Africa." She said.

Sterling nodded. "Now for the Autonomous Regions… Tibet..?" Sterling asked, A Black Haired woman with long hair on top of her head, And hanging down from one side Light Brown Eyes stood up. "Here, Sir! I am Tenzin Tara from the Autonomous Region of Tibet." She said, Sterling nodded glad to know everyone important was there.

With the key representatives from the various regions now accounted for, Sterling felt a surge of confidence. This was a pivotal moment, A gathering of minds that could shape the future of their united federation. He looked around the room, Meeting the eager gazes of those present, and he knew the gravity of their responsibility weighed heavily on all of them.

"Thank you all for being here," Sterling began again, His voice steady as he addressed the room. "Today, We stand on the brink of a historic union. The establishment of the United Earth Federation under the United Minutemen Federation is not just a bureaucratic change; It is a Commitment to Callaboration, Understanding, And The Shared Prosperity of our People."

He gestured to the monitor displaying the newly designed map of Earth, Showing the various regions and their respective leaders. "As you can see, We have restructured the governance of our world to better reflect the unity & diversity of our populations. This New Federation empowers each region while fostering collaboration on a global scale."

Alessia, Representing Europe & North Asia, leaned forward, her expression thoughtful. "What specific measures will be put in place to ensure that each region retains its unique identity while still contributing to the federation?"

"An excellent question," Sterling replied, Appreciating the foresight. "Each region will maintain its local governance and cultural practices, But we will work together through a council that includes representatives from all regions. This council will facilitate discussions on Shared Issues, Resources, And Cultural Exchange Programs. We want to ensure that every voice is heard & that we respect the uniqueness of each culture."

Jennifer from the United America raised her hand, Her expression serious. "And how do we plan to address any potential dissent? Not everyone may agree with this union, And we need to be prepared for those who might oppose it."

Diana stepped forward, Her demeanor calm yet assertive. "We recognize that change can breed uncertainty. To address this, We will implement outreach programs that engage communities directly. We will hold town hall meetings where citizens can voice their concerns & ask questions. Transparency will be key in fostering trust among the populace."

"Exactly," Sterling added, Nodding in agreement with Diana. "We will also leverage our connections with Terra-5 to promote peace & understanding. Their experience in forming a cooperative society can provide valuable insights into how we can navigate potential challenges."

Kaya Nkosi from South Africa raised her hand, Her voice carrying a note of optimism. "What about cultural exchanges? If we are to unite, We should also embrace each other's traditions & practices. It would be a wonderful way to build camaraderie."

"Absolutely!" Ahsoka interjected, Her enthusiasm infectious. "Cultural Festivals, Educational Exchanges, And Joint Collaborations in Art & Science can help bridge gaps between our peoples. This is about building relationships, Not just administrative boundaries."

Tenzin Tara, Representing Tibet, nodded thoughtfully. "I believe that fostering cultural understanding is essential. It will help dispel any misconceptions & allow us to celebrate our differences while also finding common ground."

Sterling felt a surge of pride as he listened to the representatives engage in productive dialogue. "This is exactly the spirit we need to move forward. Collaboration, Respect, And Understanding will be the cornerstones of our New Federation. Together, We can create a future where our diverse cultures thrive side by side."

As the meeting continued, Sterling could feel the momentum building in the room. Their discussions were not just theoretical; They were laying the groundwork for a new era of cooperation. The energy was palpable, And he could sense that everyone present was eager to contribute to this monumental change.

After a few hours of spirited discussions and brainstorming, The meeting began to draw to a close. Sterling stood again, Addressing the group with a sense of urgency. "Before we conclude, I want to emphasize the importance of our next steps. We need to prepare for the upcoming town hall meetings and ensure that our communication materials reflect the values of unity & collaboration that we've discussed today."

"Let's also assign tasks to each of you," P-Sterling suggested, His tone practical. "If we divide responsibilities, We can ensure that everything is ready in time for the launch of our outreach initiatives."

"Excellent idea," Diana agreed, Looking around the room. "Each region should have a representative to coordinate the outreach efforts in their respective areas. This way, We can tailor our approach to meet the specific needs of each community."

As the representatives began to discuss their respective roles, Sterling felt a sense of hope wash over him. They were unified in their purpose, And together, they would navigate the complexities of this new federation.

"Thank you all for your commitment and insights today," Sterling said, Closing the meeting with gratitude. "Let's continue to work together to forge this new path. The future is bright, And I believe we can accomplish great things together."

As the representatives began to file out of the conference room, Sterling caught Diana's eye. She smiled at him, A warmth radiating from her that filled him with confidence. At that moment, He knew that their journey was just beginning, and with allies like her by his side, they could face any challenge that lay ahead.

Terrios; Time: June 28th, 6:43 A.M. Location: UMF – Main Military Base, Sterling's bedroom.

——

The Sun had barely begun to peek over the horizon, Casting a soft glow through the blinds of Sterling's bedroom at the main military base. The air was still cool and crisp, Carrying the faint scent of pine from the surrounding forest.

Diana stood nervously outside his door, Her heart pounding in her chest as she clutched a small, wrapped gift in her hands. She had been practicing what she wanted to say for days now, Rehearsing the perfect way to express her feelings for the handsome young man who had captured her heart. But now, Faced with the reality of confessing her love, she found herself tongue-tied & flustered.

Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Diana raised her hand & knocked softly on the wooden door. She waited anxiously, Her free hand fidgeting with the hem of her short black dress.

The sound of footsteps approached from within the room, Growing louder until they stopped just on the other side of the door. There was a brief pause before the lock clicked and the door swung open, Revealing Sterling standing there in nothing but a pair of low-slung gray sweatpants. His chiseled torso was on full display, A light sheen of sleep still clinging to his skin.

Sterling blinked in surprise at the sight of Diana, Running a hand through his tousled blond hair. "Diana? What are you doing here so early?" He asked, His voice still rough with sleep. Despite his confusion, He couldn't help but let his gaze linger appreciatively on her curves, accentuated by the tight fit of her dress.

Realizing he was practically naked, A faint blush colored his cheeks & he made no move to cover himself further. Diana's breath caught in her throat as her eyes roamed over Sterling's nearly bare form, Drinking in every sculpted inch of his physique. The sight of his toned muscles & smooth skin sent a shiver of desire down her spine, Making her pulse quicken.

"I... I'm sorry for waking you," She stammered, Her cheeks flushing pink as she tried to keep her gaze focused on his face rather than letting it wander lower. "I know it's early, But I couldn't wait any longer to see you."

She held out the small, Wrapped gift towards him with slightly trembling hands. "I... I got you something. It's not much, but I thought..." Her words trailed off as she realized how close proximity had brought them, The heat radiating off Sterling's body palpable in the cool morning air.

Sterling's brow furrowed slightly in curiosity as he accepted the gift from Diana, His fingers brushing against hers for a fleeting moment – A touch that sent electricity sparking beneath her skin. He looked down at the neatly wrapped package, Then back up at her face, Noticing the nervous tension in her posture & the way her eyes kept darting to his exposed chest before quickly looking away again.

"What is this about, Diana?" Sterling asked softly, His head tilting slightly as he studied her flushed features. There was a hint of amusement in his tone, Combined with genuine affection & concern. "You're acting like you've never seen me shirtless before. It's not like we haven't trained together plenty of times."

Diana felt her face grow even hotter at Sterling's teasing remark, A mortified groan escaping her lips. "I-I know, I know! It's just... Different somehow." She mumbled, Unable to meet his amused gaze directly. "When we train, You're usually covered in sweat & grime. This is..."

She gestured vaguely at his bare torso, Swallowing hard as her eyes traced the defined lines of his abs and pecs. "This is... nice. Really nice." Diana finished lamely, Mentally kicking herself for sounding so flustered & awkward.

Desperate to change the subject, She thrust the gift towards him more insistently. "Here, Just open it already! Before I lose my nerve completely," Diana urged, Her voice rising an octave higher than usual in her agitation.

Sterling's lips quirked up in an amused smirk at Diana's obvious flustered state, Finding her adorable mix of shy embarrassment & barely restrained desire incredibly endearing. He could practically feel the heat radiating off her body as she leaned closer, The sweet scent of her perfume filling his nostrils.

"Alright, alright, I'll open it," Sterling chuckled, Carefully unwrapping the gift with deft fingers. As he lifted the lid of the box, His eyes widened in surprise at the contents – A sleek, High-tech-looking watch with a personalized engraving on the back.

"Diana, This is... wow." Sterling breathed, Lifting the watch out to examine it more closely. "How did you even get access to tech like this?"

Diana preened slightly under Sterling's praise, A pleased smile spreading across her face despite her lingering nervousness. "I have my ways," She said with a coy wink, Feeling emboldened by his reaction to her gift. "Perks of being friends with a certain brilliant inventor."

She stepped closer, Reaching out to fasten the watch around Sterling's wrist for him, her fingers lingering perhaps a moment longer than necessary against his warm skin. "I wanted to give you something special, To show you how much I appreciate everything you do. Not just for the team, But for me personally," Diana murmured, Her voice lowering to a husky whisper as she gazed up at him through her lashes.

The air between them felt charged with tension, The morning sunlight gilding Sterling's bare shoulders & highlighting the strong line of his jaw.

18 Plus Warning Lemon Scene starts here!

——

Unable to resist the magnetic pull any longer, Sterling reached out to cup Diana's face in his large, calloused hands, his thumbs gently caressing her flushed cheeks. He leaned down slowly, Giving her time to pull away if she wanted, before capturing her soft lips in a deep, passionate kiss. Diana melted against him instantly, Her arms winding around his neck as she kissed him back with equal fervor, years of pent-up longing pouring out in that single heated embrace.

Sterling walked them backwards until Diana's back hit the wall, Never breaking the kiss. His hands slid down to her waist, Gripping her hips possessively as he pressed his hardening length against her stomach, the thin fabric of his sweatpants doing little to conceal his growing arousal. Diana gasped into his mouth, Grinding subtly against him, desperate for more friction.

Breaking the kiss, Sterling began trailing his lips along Diana's jaw and down the column of her throat, nipping and sucking at the sensitive skin. His hands slid under the hem of her short dress, Palming the smooth globes of her ass & kneading the firm flesh. "Fuck, Diana~" Sterling groaned against her pulse point. "I've wanted this for so long. Wanted you."

In one swift motion, He hiked up her dress and hooked his fingers in her panties, ripping the delicate lace away without preamble. The cool air hit her newly exposed core, Making her shiver and clench with need. Sterling dropped to his knees, Pushing her thighs apart as he buried his face between her legs, licking a broad stripe up her slit. "Mmm, You taste even better than I imagined~!"

Diana cried out sharply as Sterling's skilled tongue delved between her folds, Lapping at her most intimate places with bold strokes. Her fingers tangled in his hair, Holding him close as her hips rolled shamelessly against his face, chasing more of that delicious friction. "Oh god, Sterling!" Diana keened, Her head thumping back against the wall as jolts of pleasure radiated out from her core.

His hands gripped her thighs, Spreading her wider as he feasted on her dripping cunt like a starving man. He sealed his lips around her clit and suckled hard, Flicking the sensitive bud rapidly with the tip of his tongue. Diana saw stars, Her inner walls fluttering and clenching around nothing as her climax built rapidly under his relentless ministrations. "Don't stop, Please don't stop!"

Sterling redoubled his efforts, Determined to make Diana fall apart on his tongue. He pushed two thick fingers knuckle-deep into her soaked channel, Curling them just right to stroke along her front wall as he sucked harder on her throbbing clit. The obscene wet sounds of her arousal filled the room, Mingling with her increasingly desperate moans & cries.

"That's it baby, Let go for me," Sterling coaxed, His deep voice vibrating against her sensitive flesh. "Come all over my face like the good girl you are. I want to taste your pleasure." He pumped his fingers faster, Adding a third to stretch her impossibly fuller as his tongue swirled around the bundle of nerves at the apex of her thighs.

With a particularly hard suck and thrust, he finally pushed Diana over the edge.

As the aftershocks of her intense orgasm still rippled through her body, Sterling scooped Diana up into his strong arms, carrying her the few steps to the bed. He laid her down gently on the rumpled sheets, Crawling over her with a predatory gleam in his eyes. Diana watched hungrily as he shed his sweatpants, Finally freeing his massive, throbbing erection. It bobbed heavily between his thighs, The swollen head already glistening with precum.

Sterling settled between her spread legs, The thick length of him nudging insistently at her entrance. "Tell me you want this, Diana~" He demanded, His voice low and rough with barely contained lust. "Tell me you need my cock inside you, Stretching you, filling you up until you can't take anymore."

Diana gazed up at Sterling with hooded, Lust-darkened eyes, her pupils blown wide with desire. She reached down to wrap her slender fingers around his impressive girth, Stroking him root to tip & smearing the bead of moisture at the tip. "I want this more than anything," Diana panted, Her voice heavy with need. "Please Sterling, I need you so badly. I need to feel every thick inch of you splitting me open, Claiming me, ruining me for anyone else."

She guided the broad head of his cock to her entrance, Rubbing it teasingly along her slick folds. "Take me, Make me yours~!" Diana begged shamelessly, rolling her hips up to try and draw him inside. "Fill me up with your big, Beautiful cock & fuck me until I can't remember my own name."

With a powerful snap of his hips, Sterling drove his thick, eight-inch shaft deep into Diana's tight, virgin heat. Her velvety walls stretched obscenely around his invading length as he broke through her hymen, a sharp pain mixing with intense pleasure. Diana cried out, Her nails raking down Sterling's back as he hilted inside her, his heavy balls resting against her ass.

"Fuck, You're so tight~" Sterling groaned, Giving her a moment to adjust to his size before starting to move. He set a deep, Driving rhythm, each thrust pushing him impossibly deeper into her clutching sheath. Wet squelching noises filled the air as he stirred up her copious arousal, The lewd sounds spurring him on.

Diana wrapped her long legs around Sterling's waist, Using the leverage to meet his powerful thrusts. Her inner muscles rippled & squeezed around his pistoning cock, Trying to draw him even deeper. "Yes, yes, YES!" She chanted mindlessly, Lost in the overwhelming sensations of finally being one with the man she loved. "Harder Sterling, please! Ruin my tight little pussy with your huge cock!"

She arched her back, Changing the angle to allow him to plunge even deeper into her welcoming heat. The new position had him hitting that secret spot inside her with every thrust, Sending shockwaves of ecstasy racing up her spine. "I'm going to cum again!" Diana wailed, Her thighs beginning to tremble & quake around him as her second climax rapidly approached.

Even as Diana's orgasm crashed over her, Her pussy clamping down rhythmically around Sterling's plunging cock, he didn't slow his relentless pace. If anything, The added tightness & slickness only seemed to spur him on, his hips snapping forward with animalistic need. "That's it baby, cum on my cock," Sterling growled, Angling his thrusts to grind against her G-spot with every pass. "Milk me dry with this greedy little cunt."

He could feel his own release building rapidly, His heavy balls drawing up tight to his body as he chased his pleasure in her spasming depths. Leaning down, Sterling captured one of Diana's bouncing breasts in his mouth, suckling hard on the pebbled nipple as his hand came up to roughly palm its twin.

Lost in a haze of post-orgasmic bliss, Diana could only moan brokenly as Sterling continued to pound into her oversensitive flesh, prolonging her peak. Her nails dug into the flexing muscles of his shoulders, Leaving crescent-shaped indents in his skin as she clung to him desperately. "S-Sterling, I can't... it's too much!" She whimpered, Even as her hips bucked erratically to meet his thrusts, betraying her body's hunger for more.

The wet, Obscene slap of skin on skin echoed through the room, punctuated by their mingled moans & grunts of exertion. Sterling could feel his control slipping, The coil of impending release tightening in his gut with every drag of Diana's silken walls along his aching length. "Fuck, I'm gonna cum."

With a final, Powerful thrust, Sterling buried himself to the hilt inside Diana's fluttering sheath, his cock pulsing as he found his release. Thick ropes of his hot, Virile seed painted her inner walls, flooding her womb with what felt like an endless stream of his essence. Diana threw her head back with a silent scream of ecstasy, Her eyes rolling back in sheer bliss as she felt Sterling's potent cum marking her deepest depths, claiming her utterly.

Sterling collapsed on top of her, Both of them panting harshly as they rode out the aftershocks of their intense coupling. He peppered her face with soft kisses, Murmuring words of praise & adoration against her sweat-dampened skin. "My perfect girl, My Diana~" He crooned, Nuzzling into the crook of her neck.

Sterling then gently extends his aura, Inside Diana's womb & halting every sperm, preventing them from ever impregnating Diana.

Diana lay boneless & sat beneath Sterling, Her body still tingling with the echoes of their shared passion. She could feel the warmth of his release deep inside her, A tangible reminder of their intimate connection. A soft, Dreamy smile played at the corners of her mouth as she savored the weight of his muscular form pressing her into the mattress.

Slowly, Almost reluctantly, Sterling pulled out of her tender passage, a trickle of their combined fluids seeping out to stain the sheets. He gathered Diana into his arms, Tucking her head under his chin as he stroked a soothing hand down her back. "Was that everything you hoped for & more?" He asked softly, A note of masculine pride coloring his voice.

Diana hummed contentedly, Nuzzling into the warm hollow of Sterling's throat. She felt cherished & complete in his embrace, Like she'd finally found the missing piece of herself. "It was perfect," She murmured, Placing a tender kiss over his racing pulse. "Better than I ever could have imagined. You were amazing, Sterling."

She tilted her head back to meet his gaze, Her green eyes shining with love and satisfaction. "I've dreamed of this moment for so long, Of being with you like this. I never dared to hope it would actually happen." A mischievous grin tugged at her lips as she traced idle patterns on his chest. "Guess dreams really do come true, Huh~?"

Sterling chuckled softly, The sound rumbling through his chest where Diana rested her head. He tightened his arms around her, Holding her close as if afraid she might disappear if he let go. "I've wanted this too, More than you know." He confessed quietly, His fingers combing through her tousled hair. "Seeing you every day, Training alongside you, fighting beside you... it was torture, knowing I couldn't have you the way I craved."

He shifted slightly, Maneuvering them onto their sides so he could look at her properly. One hand cupped her cheek, thumb brushing reverently over her kiss-swollen lips. "But now that I have you, I'm never letting you go. You're mine, Diana, Heart, Body, And Soul. And I'm yours, completely and irrevocably." Sterling says, As he cups Diana's soft ass.

Diana's heart swelled with emotion at Sterling's heartfelt declaration, Tears of joy pricking at the corners of her eyes. She turned her head to press a fervent kiss to his palm, Her lips lingering against his skin. "I'm yours, Always & Forever~!" Diana vowed solemnly, Her voice thick with feeling. "No matter what challenges we face, no matter where our paths may lead, I will always choose you."

Lemon Scene ends here!

She sealed her promise with a deep, Sensual kiss, pouring all of her love and devotion into the intimate press of lips and tongues. When they finally parted, Both breathless & flushed, Diana smiled up at Sterling with pure adoration. "We should probably get cleaned up though," She teased lightly, Nodding towards the mess staining the sheets. "Unless you want to christen every surface in here..."

Sterling uses his magic too to make an intricate Cleaning Spell, So he felt the gentle pulse of magic flowing through his fingers as he cast & cleaned his room.

At the sensation of Sterling's magic coursing through him, Diana shivered with delight, snuggling closer to his warm body. "You're amazing!" She murmured appreciatively, Watching as the mess on the sheets began to vanish. "I don't know how you do it, But I'm grateful nonetheless."

When the room was once again pristine, She gave a satisfied sigh & glanced up at Sterling with a playful smirk. "So, Any other talents you haven't shown me yet?"

Diana looked up at Sterling, Her eyes wide with surprise as she processed his words. A harem? She'd seen enough hentai to understand what that meant, And while the idea wasn't entirely foreign to her (given her love of erotic literature), hearing it applied to herself was something else entirely.

Diana knew Neo Politan... Diana knew those names well. She was somewhat of a legend within the in UMF, Having joined Sterling for the longest time it made her heart race with anticipation.

Neo had shared just a glimpse of who Kali was. She revealed to Diana that Kali was a mesmerizing Faunus Cat Girl, Adorned with striking cat ears that perked up playfully atop her head & a gracefully swishing cat tail that added a touch of whimsy to her every movement. As Diana listened, Her imagination sparked with curiosity, conjuring vivid images of what this enchanting creature might look like.

"But why me?" She asked softly, Her fingers tracing idle patterns on Sterling's bare chest. "Of all the women in the world, Why did you choose me?" She held her breath waiting for his answer, Hoping beyond hope that he truly felt the same way about her as she did about him.

Diana's question hung in the air between them, Heavy with unspoken emotions. Sterling took a moment to collect his thoughts, Not wanting to botch this important confession.

"You're Kind, Loyal, Brave, And Selfless!" Sterling began earnestly, Meeting her gaze with a sincerity that left no room for doubt. "But more than anything else, You're real. You're not some idealized version of femininity that exists only in men's fantasies. You're Complex, Flawed, And Beautifully Human."

He paused, Taking a deep breath before continuing. "And I find that incredibly attractive. I want to explore every facet of you, learn your desires, fulfill your needs. I want to see you with other people, sharing yourself freely without inhibition or fear. Because that's who you are, Diana - someone who loves deeply and gives generously of herself."
