A long time in a galaxy pretty damn far away

Cosmic Divine Crystalline

Episode VIII: Land of Yearning

The Gorgon family in mourning after the tragic end of Drayconivous is trying to push past the sorrow and grief and forward to determination and positivity. Knowing that somewhere in the galaxy, Fern Gorgon is out there ready to use this super weapon to its highest potentials of destroying an entire system. After a week from the funeral, they found out Fern is on the planet Tuchanka, the Krogan homeworld. Alerting the Alliance to prepare another voyage.

Elsewhere the Illusive Man has praised Candle and her remaining sisters, rewarding them after killing Drayconivous and 'freeing' them. Yet still under his control, it's not yet clear what this 'freedom' is exactly. Kylo Ren after his encounter with Serenity and her family has also gone through another training session for when he meets them again to prepare himself to kill them.

Fern Gorgon walks upon the ground of Tuchanka already killing two Krogan encampments as they are rebuilding their planet after centuries of war have ended. They try to defeat Fern but instead the Krogan fall helplessly to his power. Yet Fern is being stalked by a ghost, the ghost of Drayconivous who keeps assuring him that this isn't the way to go. Fern ignoring him just keeps venturing till he can reach a spaceport and leave planet and head to the center of the Krogan DMZ to wipe out its sun with his power and destroy the system...

Serenity was laying in her room trying to sleep with tears falling down her face. She kept thinking of her father, missing him deeply. She held a stuffed plushie she had as a child for comfort that she got from her dad many years ago.

"I failed to save you..." She softly said to herself.

As what seemed like forever, eventually, the outside peaked light as the dawn approached. Serenity looked outside at the hover cars moving by back and forth and sighed knowing it was another night without sleep and that she'd eventually knock out for a couple of minutes like yesterday.

She needed sleep and she knew that. She got up going to the bathroom looking at herself at how she looked awful with tears down her face. Its been a few days since the funeral, over a week since her father's death. She was hurting mentally and the thought without him was painful for her.

She decided she had to go downstairs and not be alone in her room.

As she walked downstairs, Mangle was down there just playing with a plate of food she hasn't eaten in two days stone cold just tapping it sighing. Serenity walked up taking it and putting it in the trash and gently patted Mangle's head and her fox ears.

Soon the doorbell buzzed and Serenity slumply went to it answering it.

"Oh hi! I was at your fathers funeral, my names Ayame." The red-headed woman said as Serenity just looked at her sadly.

Ayame getting the idea just gave her a hug.

"I am your half-sister Volcarona's mother, Ayame." She said to her.

"Oh, so you and dad had a one-shot too." Serenity said as if it wasn't a secret because of all the seven hundred and two half-sisters Serenity had from dads previous past life of 'fun'.

"Err yeah you can say that." Ayame said handing her a bag of stuff.

"I just thought I should drop by and give this to you girls and see Volcarona for a moment." She said to Serenity who moved out of the way to let her in.

Ayame looked around the room for a moment then Qrow walked up toward her out of nowhere.

"Why are you here?" He asked demandingly.

"Here to show respects and to see my own daughter." She said with a glare at him.

"Yeah well don't take too long, find it odd after my brother dies most of you women come to see your kids- which is only quite a few of you... out of Seven hundred and two daughters of his, only ten of there mothers came to see them." He said. "

What do you want me to say?" Ayame asked putting a hand on her hip.

"Say the truth. Volcarona will want an explanation, all of them will. At least Jessica got through to her and Dray's daughter, Absol. It wasn't easy as Absol is stubborn but accepted her mother's apology." Qrow said to Ayame.

"Look, I knew my kid was being taken well care of. But the other reason is I couldn't handle her at all growing up as a baby and such. It was too much." She told him.

"That's what you all say." Qrow said in a gruff.

"Enough." Maychiro said walking in.

"Qrow you know that all of there mothers couldn't do it, some tried yet they failed and some of them didn't care for them at all. Bad mothers, and very few good mothers. She's one of a good few." Maychiro reminded Qrow as he took a breath.

"Okay go see her." He told Ayame who glared at him and gave a nod to Maychiro walking passed them into the complex further.

As soon as Ayame walked away, Jessica came out from outside with Absol and both gave one another a hug.

"Call me and let me know if you need anything." Jessica said to her and began to walk off.

"You two have mother-daughter time? So gonna take you another tragic death to come see her?" Qrow asked as Maychiro slapped him in the back of the head.

"Ouch, what!" He said rubbing his head as Jessica frowned at him.

"I loved your brother Dray, don't be mistaken. But you know why I couldn't stay." She told him as she then walked out waving at her daughter Absol who waved back.

Absol then looked to Qrow.

"Gotta lay off uncle, she's a biter than a barker." She said to him.

"Yeah yeah." Qrow said taking a swig from his flask.

He then looked over to Serenity who was sitting on the couch rocking her feet back and forth as he looked at Maychiro. Maychiro got up and sat beside Serenity to start a conversation as Qrow then noticed outside, Aruriania was coming.

Aruriania walked in looking like a mess after losing Drayconivous, her husband. She walked up to Qrow and took his flask and drank it all down and handed him the empty flask.

"Not doing good today either huh?" He asked her as she nodded and sat down on the chair beside them rubbing her head.

"It'll take time, don't worry." Qrow told her as she just nodded again to his words.

The door rang again as Serenity opened it seeing a purple cat licking itself on the welcome rug.

"Uh." Serenity said as the cat looked up and poofed into purple smoke revealing itself as a human girl, who stood there fully naked in front of Serenity who in turn had an instant blush and covered her face. "

Oh my god hi!" Serenity said checking her out.

The girl with purple hair just winked.

"Hiya! I am here to join you all, names Blair." She said to Serenity and let out a little mew at her.

Serenity couldn't help but stare at the girl's big breasts and then Qrow ran up putting a towel around Blair.

"Who the hell are you! This is not a nudist colony!" He said to her.

"Hey relax, we are all born naked after all. Names Blair. I come to join you guys. Sort of seen your work and all." She told him.

"Work?- Oh from the alliance recruitment. Right, well we are waiting for a report on a go-ahead to find my evil brother." Qrow said to her.

"Excellent, then I will grab the catnip and join you all!" She said mewing and walked passed him. Serenity sighed at Qrow.

"She was pretty hot." She told him as Qrow rolled his eyes patting her head and walking off.

Meanwhile, out in the deep darkness of space at the Cerberus HQ was the Illusive Man reading reports as Candle and Kylo stood there waiting for his next orders.

Candle eyeing toward Kylo as Kylo eyeing toward her as if trying to see who would get the favor from the Illusive Man. As the Illusive Man got done reading the final reports he took a quick smoke from his cigarette and then stood up turning around to look at Kylo and Candle.

"Candle, I want you to choose two sisters to go to the Krogan DMZ, to the planet Tuchunka to kill Fern Gorgon and take that biotic super weapon he made and bring it to me. It seems he made a weapon useable but what he doesn't know is that with that amount of energy it could power up a supreme army. Oh and you are to stay here. Kylo will take them with him of the sisters you choose to go with him." He told her.

"Why not me?" She asked.

"Because you must rest up for what will be happening next." He told her and looked over to Kylo.

"I want you to go with whoever she chooses and capture Serenity for me." He told him.

"How do you know she will be there?" Kylo asked the Illusive Man curiously.

"I have my sources, she and some of her family will go to Tuchanka to find Fern. He was last spotted near a village there and I'm sure the Alliance knows this as well." He told him.

"Kai Leng will be supervising you." The Illusive Man then said taking a drink of bourbon after speaking.

"What about me sir." General Hux asked walking up.

"I want you here with me, we need to discuss a new weapon I want to be made on the new Mega ship we are creating." He told him as the General just nodded.

Candle and Kylo walked out together and met Kai Leng who was getting a debriefing already at a screen in front of him by the Illusive Man.

Once done he turned around and looked at them.

"Let's get going then." He told them and walked in front of them as Kylo and Candle knew he was more superior than they were and the right hand of the Illusive Man. Kylo being the left and Candle being the enforcer and executioner of the Illusive Man. As they walked together it was silent, very silent.

"I will have Nanananananana and Kurumi go with you." Candle said to Kylo and Kai Leng who looked at her for a moment.

"Very well, let's just hope Nanana doesn't get too crazy." Kai Leng told her as he pushed the button on the elevator to begin there descent to the hanger bay.

Candle in the meantime was typing on her datapad to send both of her sisters the message.

"I hope you have luck capturing the traitor." Candle said to Kylo who looked at her.

"I will never fail." He said to her in a gruff.

"Let's hope so for your sake." Candle said and smirked as he grabbed her shoulder.

"We will see who gets our leaders favor." Kylo warned her and as the elevator opened she shrugged him off and walked out winking at him with a grin on her face.

Kylo and Kai Leng watching her walk off then looked at each other and remained silent as they looked forward as the elevator doors shut.

"Let's see who gets the Illusive Mans favor then shall we?" Kai Leng said as Kylo looked at him with a glare and pushed the button to the elevator to go to the floor they needed to head too next.

As they were going down together it was again silent and once the elevator doors opened they walked out toward there shuttle. Cerberus soldiers were around training as well as new technology being made in a lab nearby as scientists walk out talking with soldiers and holding odd looking adrenaline shots.

Outside the hanger bay in space was a large construction area of spaceships. Millions of them it seemed to orbit and being created in little time. Off in the far distance, however, was a giant monster of a ship being constructed still and seemingly was nearly completed.

Kylo looked at it for a moment as Kai Leng tapped his chest to pay attention as their shuttle was getting ready and noticed was Kylo was looking at.

"That's the Olympus Mons, the flagship of ours being created. It's the length of the moon and serves as a near planet size battle station and a mega command ship." He told him.

"Let's hope it serves our leader well." Kylo remarked crossing his arms thinking.
