*The child nods, stands, and runs off.*

 

??? *from behind Lokpihet, a cold chilly voice* "Lord Lokpihet,..."

 

*The person standing behind Lokpihet, was a man, who caried the same dark aura as the child, but more intence. The image of the man, was blury, yet as clear as if it were a picture. The man whom looked in perfect health, still looked quite dead.*

 

??? "...I've come to merely thank thee. Pease time gets so boring for my kind, little death I'm afriad. And oh yes, do take care of the child, he was once one of us, whom coencidently, like I was at one time, human. Keep him out of too much trouble, there would be alot of, intanglements with different forms of entities who don't personally like our kind..."

 

*A book appears infront of the man, which opens up to a page showing a glowing name, and abit of more information. Immedately the book closes and vanishes.*

 

??? *before Lokpihet can answer* "Ooops I'm almost late." *The image of the man changes to a pure dark aura, more like a cloud, wielding a Scythe.* "Ta."

 

*The 'cloud' rraces down the corrador to a place where he preps his scythe to attack something, still in view of Lokpihet. Walking into the corrador an Officer, whom doesn't seem to notice whats happening.*

 

Officer "My lord I..."

 

*A rough explosion occurs, a rupture in the corrador, where a piece of metal breaks from a steam line and hits the Officer in the chest. at the same time the blade of the Scythe is swung at complete syncronisation with the shrapnal, killing the officer where he stood. A bright light flys from the officer, and dissapears, along with the the dark spirit with it.*

((Cracken: OK.

BD: I'm just doin a small time skip on the ackbar thing.))

*Chavo exits hyperspace soon after. He looks around, and sees nothing. He lets out a string of swears that would embarass a sailor*

*Greer shot the last gaurd. He fell to the floor with the others*

Greer: let's go before more come.

Aren: Because we're offering to sell it to you. Business, remember? If you were in your government's extradimensional branch, then I'm sure you can understand the benefits you could get. You've got plenty at stake in this new civil war...Imagine what an advantage you'd gain with our weapons, our ships...

 

Rwos: This is a can of worms that shouldn't be opened.

 

Aren: *to Rwos* If your friend will not accept our offer, we will simply find another buyer. Think about it, Starkiller. You've got a whole lot to gain, and a whole lot to lose. It's up to you...

Deac: And why are you offering these things to us? What do you seek to gain other than profit?

*Lokpihet is puzzled by these events*

 

Lokpihet: Concentrate fire on the planet! We're past the defenses. Open a broadcast...

 

*Lokpihet steps onto the holobroadcaster*

 

Lokpihet: Attention citizens of the planet below. My intention is not to harm you. However, your leaders wiped out every man, women and child loyal to our emperor on Ulna Shardes, and now I'm going to return the favour. Cracken claims to be different, but he betrayed his own father. And now I will decimate your world. You would be wise to question the wisdom of your leaders.

 

Lokpihet: All ships, target the planet. Fire all weapons.

 

*A huge bombardment begins*

Rwos: If you have no ulterior motives, why would you have kindapped Deac and Hilth, and led us here? Why not just come to us directly?

 

Aren: You think it's all about you, Blade? Wouldn't you have killed us if we had tried a straightforward approach?

*to Deac* We're businessmen. Profit is our reason for existence. We are interested in you, naturally, which is why we are giving you this offer. If through you we gain more knowledge of this universe, all the better for us.

 

Rwos: *suspiciously staring at Aren* I don't believe you.

 

Aren: Why the hostility, Blade? Are you trying to drive us to your enemies?

 

Rwos: It's that kind of thinking that produces my hostility, and I'm sure you're aware of it.

 

Aren: Businesspeople who don't think like we do tend not to survive in my world, Blade. Look at it this way - we came to you first, did we not?

((OOS: Aren is a woman ;)))

 

Aren: You're forgetting we saved your life, Starkiller. If we hadn't kidnapped you and frozen you in suspended animation, Hilth would've been too late. Whoever said you had to trust us, anyway? Rwos is from our universe, and knows our technology. It would be a little hard to sell you something you didn't want.

 

Gilian: The Syndicate, you say? The mystery force behind the Shadows? I've heard some very interesting things about you. I hear tell some of your other buyers are slavers, religious extremists, revolutionaries, criminal organizations, among other things...not to mention that you yourself are a criminal organization.

 

Aren: We're as much criminals as the two of you are in the sense that you're talking about, as I pointed out earlier. As for your other accusations, do you always take unfounded rumors as gospel truth in your line of work? I assure you, we are everything we've told you.

Fused Irvine "Alright, I'm sick of this s***!"

 

*Fused Irvine pulls out, ignites and throws each og his dual sabers at the structures above the Vanguard with his own strength. Rubble and dibris begin to fall, while fused Irvine runs up igniting his Mesamune, and dismembering the distracted Vanguard.*

 

*During most of the swings Fused Irvine lost soem balence due to the longness of the blade, it looked clumsy, but the job got mostly done.*

Coruscant

 

*Irvine's attack is deflected by the cortosis weave in the Vanguard's armor.

 

Starr, using the Force, catches the falling debris in midair and throws it at the Vanguard with all his might. The three in front of him are knocked away. Starr pulls the foundation out of the structure, which begins collapsing*

 

Captain: *watching Irvine and Starr bring the building down* No, you fools! You'll kill us all!

Shadow Base

 

Aren: I can see we aren't getting anywhere fast with this. Do you accept our offer, or should we seek another buyer?

 

Gilian: What makes you think we won't kill you here and prevent that from happening?

 

Aren: Perhaps you could kill me, and maybe even my guards. But you'd never get out of here alive, and you know it. So, Starkiller...what is your answer?

*The Shuttle lands at the Palace's private landing port. Svafa and her sister exit the shuttle. Vidar and a small honor guard awaits them. After a brief embrace the siblings head off towards the palace.*

 

Svafa: What is going on?

 

Vidar: It is time to reevaluate the galaxy and what we should be doing in it.

*Bilbringi*

 

As the turbolaster fire begins to rain, the planetary defense shield turns on, only half of the intened fire get's though.

 

Karrak smiles, and yells for a status report*

 

TacOfficer: Good news! the enemy vessles shields are down to 30%, and out net is closing... though some reports of fighter pilots and gunners spontaniously combusting is...disturbing, we're on target for target destruction in 10 minutes.

 

*Karrak brings up his com* Enemy captain, you're shields are failing, our planet is secure. I'm ready for your surrendur at anytime, or you will die.

Lokpihet: Shields? Failing? I think not

 

Officer: Actually, they are fairly low. Hull damage is minimal. Diverting energy from the guns would increase this.

 

*Lokpihet opens the comm channel*

 

Lokpihet: Planet, I have no intention of surrendering. Your shields can't last forever and your defense fleet is decimated. I will not leave until I am satisifed.

 

Gunnery, deploy the biobombs.

 

*Several canisters of virulent plague are fired at the planet's surface.*

Deac: Unless you explain your alteriour motive, I can't say anything.

Aren: Our only motives are profit and knowledge, as I've already told you.

 

Gilian: You could gain "knowledge" some other way. What are you going to do with the credits the Republic gives you?

 

Aren: You mean the New Rebellion, don't you? There are many things in this dimension that are of varying degrees of worth to their owners or this galaxy, but could be extremely valuable in a different market, meaning great profit for us. Of course, we need the currency of this universe to facilitate these deals.

 

Gilian: You mean you're not going to just steal what you want? You know, the Shadows' normal modus operani?

 

Aren: You're overly suspicious. It is simply more efficient to pay for what we want, of course.

Comm: Mr Lord, the enemy fleet is approaching.

 

Lokpihet: How much damage did we do?

 

Tactical: 80% planetry installations destroyed. Projected civilian deaths: 3.2 Billion, more to follow.

 

Lokpihet: I think we've done enough.

 

*The fleet hypers out*

*Starr, using the Force, upends a long durasteel beam that had come loose from its moorings. The beam begins to fall, directly above the Vanguard's captain. The captain turns, sensing something behind him. Through his faceplate, his eyes widen as he sees the beam. Before he can move, it crushes him.

 

The Vanguard collapse like puppets devoid of their strings.

 

The building begins to come down*

 

Starr: *to Fused Irvine, just before a section of the room collapses separating the two* Whoever you are, I would advise leaving now!

 

*Starr tries to activate his ship's remote. This time, he hears the sound of his ship's engines activating. As he does so, he runs for the only exit left in the room, an opening thousands of feet up in the air*

Shadow Base

 

Aren: Well, Starkiller, what do you say? *at his silence* Or do you wish for us to contact you at a later date?

*Svafa, Vidar, and Hildr walk towards the palace*

 

Vidar: Except for fleets assigned to the containment zone all the fleets have been recalled. There is also a general shoreleave for all crew members.

 

Svafa: So that is why for the past months we been installing those automated listening post.

 

*Vidar simply nodded as they entered the palace and began to walk towards their rooms*

 

Vidar: The discussions are will probably begin in a couple of days as the last ships arrive. Tonight after you get settled in we will be having a dinner together.

((Really sorry guys, Collage got on top of me.))

 

*Dasken gestures towards a doorway.*

 

Dasken: The landing pad is straight through there!

 

*The group make their way to landing pad hatch and Dasken inputs the code. The hatch opens and the goup run towards the parked shuttle.*
