Dray, Serenity, Mienshao, and Absol ran into a huge open room with a bridge across the power cells that operate the hyperspeed flow and engines.
"Careful." Dray said seeing some guards patrolling.
"We could set charges on those panels right there and there." Mienshao said pointing as Serenity looked at Dray.
"She's right we could take down this ship right from the inside." She said as Dray nodded.
"Okay, let's do this quickly." Dray said.
They slowly snuck up behind a guard patrolling knocking him out. Luckily this guard carried what Dray knew they would, thermal charges. Each took two each from the bag he was carrying. Absol knocking out another guard got even more.
"Each of you set there's around one of the consoles against those electromagnet cables that send power flow into the hyperspeed engines." Dray said.
"Serenity, we will meet right back up here." He told her and gave her and his other daughters a tight hug.
"Alright, let's do this." Mienshao said breaking from the hug not liking to be all happy feeling.
Serenity, however, hugged her father one more time running up to him. "I got worried when I heard you yell dad..." She said.
"Hunny, I'm not going nowhere." Dray said patting her shoulder.
"Oh, dad I found your lightsaber too." She told him.
"Keep it, for now, I will be back to get it." he said running across the bridge to put on charges with Mienshao already done coming back.
Absol and Serenity were already done installing the detonators. Dray taking some time to figure out the charges then found they will go off remotely. He noticed Serenity had the buttons from the pockets of the dead guards and nodded.
"Okay done here." He said but then felt an odd shiver frowning to feel such a cold chill.
He heard shifting movement but he shrugged it off only to see the Lost Daughters of his in the room now crossing the bridge to the side he just came from.
He noticed Candle, the one Escorpia told him about the most out of the others in a private discussion they had with him while torturing him. Serenity, Absol, and Mienshao noticed the girls coming from there side then going across. Their father near them sighed and walked slowly up behind them. Candle the last one behind them sensed something and before she turned around.
"Candle!" Dray shouted behind her.
Both standing on the catwalk bridge over the hyperspeed reactors that sparked of energy. Black Star Matagi seeing this slowly stepped back from view from everyone and to a far distance like instructed only to observe.
Candle turned around and so did the other Lost Daughters that crossed the bridge except for Candle. All of them growling and hissing. Yuno and Escorpia, however, was coming in from the side Serenity and her two sisters were at. Yuno looking up noticed them and jumped right up using her power. Absol looking at Yuno glared at her. Serenity looked noticing Escorpia then jumping onto the other side. Mienshao stepping in front of Serenity getting into a battle position.
Dray kept looking at Candle with a stern look.
"Come home." He told her offering her his hand.
"Home. You hold none but a home of lies and deception." Candle said.
"You been brainwashed by the Illusive Man. You have to trust me on this one." He told her.
"He was more of a father than you ever were!" Candle shouted at him.
"He is using you all for your power to control the entire universe!" He said.
"He is going to use the Cosmic Divine Crystalline to do it!" Dray continued as Candle just stared at him coldly.
"My life was a living-" She started.
"It was hell." He told her. She blinked.
"So you do know about me? You lying piece of shit!" She shouted.
"Your sister told me... all nine of you are brainwashed... come home to me. I can help each of you." He said to her.
Yuno holding her butcher knife smirked at Absol and went to attack her. Absol, however, launched a powerful wind like power to knock Yuno down. Absol leaping down onto the floor under the catwalks they were on soon used more wind power to attack Yuno as Yuno just kept using acrobatics and her butcher knife only to evade and try to cut Absol.
Escorpia having six arms pulled out blaster pistols and began rapidly shooting at Mienshao who used her arms to defend herself having her skin like rock, Mienshao was able to deflect some of the plasma but she couldn't use this power for very long and tried to swing her arms at Escorpia in karate like motions. Escorpia throwing away two of her guns down using two of her arms tried to grab Mienshao's arms to stop the attack as she kept shooting trying to aim for her head. Serenity looking at this in shock not knowing what to do just looked back down at her father.
Candle glaring at Dray as Dray walked up to her.
"Let me help you." he told her softly in his voice holding his hand up to her.
"Your sister told me what happened to you, what happened to all of you. Let me help you. Please." He told her.
Candle looking at him trying not to show tears gritted her teeth.
"I want to die, and you made me... you made me to suffer." She said.
"That's not true, if I knew you all existed I would have stepped in and taken you all." Dray said to Candle.
"Lies..." Candle told him.
But Dray approached her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I love all of my children. Including all of you. Leave with me." He told her.
Candle looked at him with a frown her lip quivering.
"I know what I must do to free myself, but I don't have the strength to do it." She told him softly.
"Can you help me?" She asked.
"Yes, I will." Dray told her. Soon Candle sighed and held her odd-looking pickaxe like weapon that had ember burning inside of a small pot attached to the top of the pickaxe. One end of it was a long curved spike and the other end an ax with dark gems on a strong circling the hilt as she gripped it. She looked at him. He looked at her. He held his hand out to her to take it and to offer her salvation.
Candle looked at him as he looked at her curiously feeling her mind with his power. He felt confusion, conflict. Then a sharp pain entered his heart. There Candle swung her pickaxe and it slammed right into his chest out of his back. Dray giving a coughing up bloody groan looking at her.
Mienshao looked in horror. Absol's eyes turning to tears in shock. Serenity, tears forming and mouth opening screaming out of the top of her lungs, her scream shattering the lights all over around them and shaking the railings.
Serenity showing signs of a possible vocal power she never knew she had but that was the least on her mind now. Her mind was now directly, on her dad. Her soul connected to his, was shattered.
"Dad!" Serenity screamed in tears.
Candle looking at Dray with a serious look as her orange eyes suddenly glowed with power.
"Thank you..." She told him. The Lost Daughters of Dray all grinning and delighted as they all sighed of relief, they were free.
Dray still alive however slowly spoke to Candle his right hand lifting up to her.
"I still love you... You will see, what I right now see." He told her with a smile.
Candle, however, was in shock to hear this and so angry not understanding why he still loved her.
"I love all my daughters, no matter what you do... even if to kill me. My love is undying." He told her.
Candle then pushed him right off the catwalk down toward his death. His body, Drayconivous' body fell toward the reactors below and faded from view.
Mienshao in anger smashed her rock-skinned arms against Escorpia's arms breaking them in sheer rage and roared as her claws dug right into Escorpia's shoulders lifting her off her feet and smashing another large claw into Escorpia's chest through her own back and threw her down to the reactors as well.
Serenity speechless not knowing what to do soon Candle used her force power to bring the detonation devices to her hands and dropped them as well into the reactor grinning at Serenity. Serenity having a hateful look on her face toward Candle raging in anger as her red crimson eyes glowed.
Yuno being attacked rapidly with wind power by Absol couldn't hold much longer.
"Wait- your too fast!?" Yuno screamed as a wind blast sliced her midsection and the top part of Yuno's body fell down the reactor and her bottom half fell over on the floor. The other Lost Daughters of Dray angered by two of there sisters deaths screamed and roared from the other side.
Serenity knowing they had to go quickly ran with Meinshao and Absol.
"Kill them all..." Candle said as they ran and chased there sisters down to hunt and kill them.
However, down the bottom of the reactors, Dray was slowly dying. He noticed, however, the two fallen bodies of his Lost Daughters fall near him. Yuno in half alive but dying and Escorpia trying to cling for life.
Dray with the rest of his energy he had in his black blood power crawled toward them and along the way found the detonation device.
The Reactor hurling lightning toward all of them, he didn't mind it. He used all his strength to crawl up to them. Escorpia growling at him as Yuno kept crying in pain.
"The Illusive Man told us you were going to destroy us..." Escorpia said.
"I didn't did I?" He told her and crawled up with them putting an arm around each.
Yuno in such fear held Dray's arm.
"Y-you... you love us...? We thought you-" She stopped as Dray spoke up.
"The Illusive Man lied to you two..." He told them.
"Your lives made you this way, I wish I could take it all back..." he told them and cried. Yuno began to cry and even Escorpia finally breaking in tears clung to her father.
"I want the pain to go away... I want it all to go I want it gone I want it gone." Yuno kept repeating.
Escorpia gently touching Yuno's head and her father's leg.
"I'm sorry we thought you were-" Escorpia started.
"Shush now... both of you. I will end our pain... and we will be in paradise..." He smiled at them.
He held the detonator in his hand.
"God. Forgive me, but I must save the rest of my daughters..." He smiled with tears down his face.
"I'm coming home... I end our misery." He smiled looking down as Escorpia and Yuno smiled for the first time.
Dray pushed the button and everything turned white.
Serenity, Absol, and Mienshao heard a huge explosion and with it a huge rumble. Gravity was soon shut off as they floated.
"Hover!" Serenity said using her psychic abilities for them to fly through the hallways toward the hanger.
"Look! One shuttle floating there!" Mienshao yelled.
They quickly rushed too it. Candle and the Lost Daughters of Dray too confused.
"Crap! What the hell!?" Candle thought in shock.
"It detonated!? Impossible!" Umi-taka yelled glaring at Candle.
"You idiot!" She snarled as Candle barked back at Umi-Taka.
"Shut your fucking mouth! He's dead now at least..." She hissed. Kylo floating in mid-air was already in the hanger and noticed Serenity.
Serenity looked at him as he looked at Serenity. Serenity then was pulled into the shuttle by Mienshao and Absol started it up and flew them out.
At the command deck, Hux was pushing a button to lock gravity in the command deck to the escape pod bay.
"Retreat! This ship will blow up in ten minutes!" He said as everyone quickly was getting away.
He quickly comlinked to Kylo.
"Ren!" He said.
"I'm getting in a starfighter, hurry to the pods we will meet on the planet." He said.
"Fleets will break and head to the planet to meet us... mission failed." Hux said glaring at the situation before getting into an escape pod.
