Just so that you all know, I am changing one thing, both of Anatain's eyes are green and there are two gold lines on her uniform going down from her shoulders and ending at her belt.

Also, though I doubt anyone noticed, I made Elise's last name Titania because in Shakespeare's play Titania was the queen of the fairies and her husband was named Oberon.

The info for the the next chapter is available for the first reviewer.

Also I am writing a new story that tells about Akio and his group, which Nova is a character in that story, the first chapter has already been published, please read it.

Chapter 11: The Spider Queen

I couldn't see anything. My mind was lost in a black emptiness as I floated in the shadows.

"Mister." a voice said, "Are you alright? Mister, please wake up."

I didn't know that voice, but I followed it. And when I followed it I saw the way out.

My eyes snapped open and I sat up. I was in some form of dungeon. The walls around were nothing but rocks, but on the ceiling was a grate.

I kept looking and I saw two children sitting in front of a wall. The first was a young boy about 12 years old, the blonde hair on the top of his head was long and messy, but the sides were mostly shaved, his eyes were blue, and he was wearing a red shirt and a blue vest, he sat to the right of a little girl (her right, to the front left of me) most likely twelve as well, with long messy brown hair going all around her head and she had a small bit of hair in a tiny ponytail on the left side of her head, her eyes were brown and she wore a brown ragged robe with a hood hanging off the back.

I was still trying to make sense of what had happened.

Last thing I remember I was trying to get my minions out of the cocoons when... someone knocked me out. It definitely couldn't have been a spider.

"Uh mister, are you okay?" asked the boy.

"Yeah I'm fine." I said, "Who are you?"

"My name's Justin." the boy said.

"And what about you?" I asked the girl.

She raised her head and she looked like she wanted to say something, but then she lowered her head.

"Her name is Sarah." Justin said, "She is unable to speak."

"Oh, I'm sorry." I apologized to the girl.

She shook her head and smiled as if to say "Don't worry about it".

I then turned to Justin, "So do you have any idea where we are?" I asked.

"That would be the lair of the Spider Queen." he said, "A dark sorceress who appeared nearly two months ago and attack our village."

"Spider Queen who is also a sorceress, great."

Kuro Voyager

On the deck of the ship Mortane and a Kuronian soldier stood with their blades drawn, the soldier's was a normal sword, but Mortane's was of Elvish make. The two charged at each other and began their practice match.

"I'm betting on the guard." one of the soldiers said.

"Naw, if anyone will win it will be our captain." an Elf said, "That's why I'm putting fifteen gorudo(gold) on him."

"How imature of them," Okami said crossing his arms, "Only a practice fight and yet they still bet on it."

"You're right." Anata said in a cold voice, then in her childish voice, "Go Mort, I've got thirty gorudo on you!" she cheered causing Okami to sweatdrop like in an anime.

"Land ahoy." said an Elf.

Then everyone scrambled to their positions so that they could prepare to dock at the harbor.

The docks were at a seaside town. After tying up the ship they told the Kuronian soldiers and the other Elves to stay and guard the ship.

Okami then put a glove on his arm and then opened and put his hand into a cage and pulled out a falcon. He then tied a message to it's leg and flung it up into the air and let it fly off to sea back to the Kuro Islands.

Okami, Enjew, and Mortane then got off the ship and went into town.

"Remember, only get..." Anata started in a cold voice, then she saw something, "what we need."(still in a cold voice) she then walked over to a stand were someone was selling multicolored stuffed animals.

She just stood there staring.

"Shouldn't we go get her?" Mortane asked.

"You stop her from staring at cute things and it' the last thing you ever do." Okami warned, "There is only one way we can deal with this."

Then a few moments later Anata was carrying a small puppy-shaped stuffed toy while Okami was counting his remaining money.

After gathering all of the needed supplies the three bought horses and rode off West towards the land where one would find Nordburg.

Moutain Barrier between Heaven's Peak and the Mellow Hills

Akomar sat on half of a barrel in a falling apart barn on the top of the mountain rebandaging on his wounds.

"That Overlord sure knew how to fight." he said, "What was his name again? Nova I think it was."

"I'm surprised you had the guts to actually fight him." a dark voice said.

"Oh, it's you." Akomar said tying the last bandage onto his ankle.

"Now that's an interesting greeting," the voice said, "Did you pick that up during your exile in the Netherworld depths?"

"Shut the Hell up old man." Akomar said in a very annoyed voice.

"You're as lively as every my son."

"I told you to shut up. And you're not my father."

The voice chuckled, "Such spirit." then two large red glowing eyes appeared on the ceiling, "You're so much like your mother."

That snapped it. Akomar grabbed his sword and jumped up at the ceiling and swung his sword to the left obliterating the part of the roof where the eyes were with a red fire-like flash.

After the smoke cleared, Akomar stood in the middle of a field in the rain panting.

He then put his sword on his back and just started walking. As he walked he passed by a small cottage to his left. He looked for a second into a window that light was coming out of and saw a family at the dinner table. Then he just kept walking on.

One of his demon abilities is to sense that danger is coming his way. He then jumped backwards as a flaming object hit the ground sending dirt flying everywhere. He then got up off his back, which is what he landed on when he had jumped back, and looked at it. It was cylindrical, it had white paint, and there was a window on the front.

He walked around it to the back and saw that there was a hatch partially open. He ripped open the hatch and stepped in. At the front in a chair was a man wearing odd white armor and a helmet with his face lying on the table(control panel), there was another lying at my feet, two more on the left wall both pinned to the wall by blades through their chests, and against the white wall was a thin copper colored creature holding some form of gun.

Akomar checked the pulse of the one on the floor and the one at the front, neither had one (he also didn't bother checking the ones with blades in their chests). Then he pressed his fingers to the neck of the copper one and there was a click sound as its eyes lit up causing Akomar to jump back.

The creature's head turned side to side, "Observation: It appears the pod has crashed and my captures are destroyed." then he looked at Akomar, "Now that I'm free and my master is no longer around and you reactivated me I would like to work for you, I would much appreciate it."

"Uh, I don't have the money to pay some servant." said a slightly confused Akomar.

"Reassurance: Don't worry, my service is charge free. I am HK-47, an elite assassin droid built to kill meatbags for my master. I can use any form of weaponry."

Akomar thought for a few minutes before speaking, "Sure, why not."

"Praise: Thank you master. Now if you can just remove the restraining bolt on my chest I can begin serving you master."

Akomar looked at the droid, "I guess this would be it." he said pulling a small device off of HK-47.

Hk-47 then properly stood up and grabbed his rifle.

"What kind of gun is that." Akomar asked.

"Explanation: This is a modified disrupter rifle. Its blast rip apart its target on a molecular level. I implore you not to stand in front of the barrel master, or, in this case, have your eye in front of it." his warning did not go unheeded.

Akomar barely understood much of what the droid had said, but what he did understand was that it was dangerous, he had clearly made the right choice letting the droid join him.

"Alright let's get moving." Akomar said stepping out of the pod.

"As you wish master." HK-47 also stepped out, "Query: When can I kill some meatbags for you master?"

Then Akomar saw several hundred lights coming from Evernight Forest below. His eyes light up allowing him to see even further.

"I think I have a target for you already."

Venomwood Dungeon

I walked along the walls with my eyes closed while brushing hand against the rock.

"What are you doing?" Justin asked.

"I'm looking for a weaker point in the rock that might be an exit." I said then I felt something, "There!" I said focusing all of my energy to create a shield around my fist as I threw my fist forwards at the wall.

The rocks shattered like glass.

Both Justin and Sarah looked surprised.

"How did you do that mister?" Justin asked.

"I punched it." I answered, "And you can call me Nova."

Then I looked ahead, on the other side of where the wall was was a hallway. The walls were all carved out, on them where oddly shaped circular carvings. There were also torches on the walls. The middle of the walkway had similarly designed cobblestone.

"Let's get moving." I said to them walking to the right.

I walked ahead as fast as I could go without losing Justin and Sarah.

I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. I ran towards it expecting to find the way out, but instead I found myself in a large chamber. There was a bridge from the entrance to a large platform, on either side of the bridge was a bottomless pit, on the platform was a half circle of stairs at the wall, on top of the stairs was a chair, in the chair sat a woman, she had tan skin, her hair and eyes were dark brown, she wore a golden armor which on her body which which was mostly covered with a fancy white cloth.

"I was wondering when you would show up." she said, "I thought Overlords were supposed to be more skilled."

"So you know who I am?" I said, "I guess word travels fast."

"Yes, that and I have seen those creatures before." she said.

Oy, who hasn't seen them before, "So who are you?"

"I am Juno the Spider Queen of Venomwood."

I had expected a spider queen to look more like and arachnid.

"So you're the one who destroyed that village?" I asked with some anger starting to rise.

"Oh, were you admiring my handy-work?" Juno asked, "Or are you upset that you didn't get to kill them?"

"Shut up!" I said, "You disgust me. First you murder countless innocents, then you boast about it. You make me sick."

"What does an Overlord care about the lives of others? The one I was mistress to couldn't care less about who lives and who dies."

That's it! I've had enough of this woman!

I leaped up into the air and blast an orb of Force energy at her. But then a spider dropped down and got blasted apart instead.

Not giving up I started running towards her releasing a barrage of Force blasts as I ran. But more and more spiders keep falling from the ceiling and taking the attack while Juno just grinned evily.

I leaped at her and tried to kick her, but as I was in the air I felt a pain in my chest, now after all of that my wounds reopen, then a barrier of yellowish light appeared as I began to slow that sent me flying back.

"What the heck was that?" I asked no one in particular as I clutched my injury.

"Aaarrrggggh." I heard someone yell a sort of battle cry.

I (and just so you know I a currently sort of in a leaned back sitting position) turned and saw Justin charging forwards holding a thin sword out to the side.

"Sarah now!" he shouted as he jumped up into the air.

Then I looked back and saw Sarah standing at the entrance holding a red staff with a blue orb on the top and a golden crescent moon shaped half ring on the right side of the crystal. Then the crystal orb began to glow and Justin's blade light up a bright blue. He then swung his sword sending a wave of energy at the ceiling, which illuminated the ceiling for a moment revealing hundreds of spiders before blasting them all apart creating a giant cloud of dust.

"Let's go." Justin said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the doorway while I was trying to figure out what had just happened.

The three of us ran out of the dust cloud into the hallway, we had barely been running a minute when I felt pain in my leg and fell over, I looked at my leg and saw that the spot Akomar had cut me was soaked in red.

"Damn it!" I said wincing.

"We have to get moving." Justin said, "Sarah hurry."

Then Sarah's staff light up a green color and she then kneeled down next to me and held her left hand (which was covered in green light as well) over my injury.

"How is she doing that?" I asked.

"She's the apprentice of a local wizard." Justin answered, "But we don't have time to answer questions right now, we have to get moving as soon as possible."

Then, as if on que, several dozen spiders appeared charging towards us. I threw one Force blast, but it only took out a few, and more just kept coming. Then Sarah stood up, she held out her staff diagonally to the right and then her staff began to glow an orange color and then three fireballs appeared in the air in front of her, she then swung her staff causing the fireballs to fly off towards the spiders and explode.

The explosion caused the ceiling of that part of the hall to fall blocking the path.

"That should buy us some time." Justin said.

Dark Tower

It was late afternoon(not late enough for it to start getting dark though). Rin had just started walking up the stairs when Gnarl spoke from below.

"He will be fine." he reassured.

"I know he will, but..." Rin said, "He's been gone over a day and he hasn't contacted us at all."

"You shouldn't worry about him. Overlords often get into situattions like this, and they just as often get out of them as well."

"Thanks Gnarl." Rin said before walking up the stairs.

She walked into the bedroom and sat down on the side of her bed.

'Why am I so worried about him?' she asked herself, 'We only just met about three or four days ago.' then she remembered how Nova had held her in his arms when she was crying, the warm feeling it gave her, 'No, it can't be. I'm not... am I really? I guess, it must be true. I'm in love with him. I'm in love with Nova.'

Centurion Hawk

Ichiro was reloading his gun while watching Elise. Kaito and Luka were outside looking at the damage the hull sustained during their escape from the Empire, and Akio, well Kaito had told him about Elise, but Akio didn't really care as he continued to stay beside Yuka.

"So, Ichiro was it, what kind of people are in this crew?" Elise asked him.

Ichiro was a little caught off-gaurd by her question, "Well miss Titania." he said thinking, "Luka's the pilot, she the daughter of a former spice smuggler and a brilliant star pilot. Her skills have gotten us out of many bad situations." then after thinking for another moment, "Kaito was a former member of a black-ops division in the Jedi Order, he was an assassin sent to kill Akio, but he turned out to be a really great guy and he end up joining us."

"What about you?" she asked, though she wasn't as interested in the yellow teen than the others.

"Well, as for me, I'm a former soldier of a tyrannical military known only as the Forgotten." Ichiro said in a serious voice, "The Forgotten were such a great threat that the warring Republic and Separatist armies temporarily signed a truce to stop us. Before our defeat, Akio got me out of there and let me join his crew, I owe him alot."

Elise had not expected him to have such a story behind him, "Okay then, could you tell me more about your captain Akio and the girl called Yuka?"

"Certainly. Akio was once a member of the Jedi Order like Kaito and that hero you keep talking about, but one day, he found this ancient Sith relic and used its power to make himself stronger, but he couldn't control it and he ended up destroying a whole wing of the Temple and killing a few Jedi. Since then he has been on the run and eventually this crew of outcasts built up around him. He isn't really evil, he just made a foolish mistake that he can never take back." After being silent for a moment he spoke again, "Then there's young Yuka, a girl from a galaxy even further away than our own. She was kidnapped from her homeword by Trandoshan sport hunters. The Trandoshan craft crashed right in the middle of a battlefield between the Separatists, Republiic, Forgotton, and us. When she and Akio met it was love at first sight for those two kids."

Elise hadn't heard stories like these since the Time of the Ancients.

"Earlier I heard you say something about her being injured, what kind of injury is it?" Elise asked.

"She was shot three times." Ichiro answered, "She has burns all over her left arm and one on her chest. She hasn't woken up since the attack."

Elise thought for a moment before speaking, "I might be able to heal her."

Ichiro looked surprised, "You mean you can help her?" he asked, she then nodded.

"Alright." he said helping her up, "Let's go meet the captain."

Venomwood Caves

We all ran into the room where my minions were in earlier. Thankfully they were still there, and so was my Lightaxe and my metal mask. I grabbed my Lightaxe and mask and ignited my Lightaxe and put on my hood at the same time and, not intentionally, did an awsome pose.

"Wow." Justin said in awe while Sarah also starred in awe.

I then cut all of the cocoons open at once freeing my minions.

"Master." they all said crowding around me.

Then a loud explosion appeared on the wall blasting some of it apart, more accurate description: the wall to the right of the door, a short distance away from the platform and over the spikes, we are just a bit left from the door on the platform.

Then Juno walked over to the edge of the newly created entrance.

Sarah's staff turned orange as three fireballs appeared and flew at Juno, but the shield reappeared and blocked the attack. Then Juno raised her arm and pointed at us. Then dozens of spiders came flooding out from the hole and they began charging at us.

Justin's blade turned yellow, Sarah's staff began to glow orange, my minions readied their sword and spears, and I put both of my hand on the hilt of my Lightaxe.

We fought the spiders off for about half an hour and it would take to long to describe the whole battle so I will skip to the part where it gets good.

We were managing to fight of the spiders for now, though three minions did already die, but there were just to many.

Then I had an idea, "Hey Sarah, do you think you could energize my Lightaxe like you did Justin's sword?" I asked.

She looked unsure, but nodded as if to say, "I'll try."

"We'll have to buy her some time." Justin said cutting open the face of another large arachnid.

"Alright." I said jumping up and blasting ten spiders off the edge and into the spikes with the Force.

Then a ring sound came from Sarah's staff which was glowing blue. Both my Lightaxe Justin's sword light up with shinning blue light, we both jumped up and swung our blades. A wage of energy flew from Justin's blade and an orb flew from mine. The attacks hit right on target and the whole room was illuminated with blinding light. When it faded, we could see that all of the spiders were dead and Juno was on her hands and knees.

"I won't be defeated." she said, "I will not lose to children."

"It's over, give up." Justin said pointing his sword at her.

"Never." she said jumping forwards up into the air, but I sent a blast of Force energy that stopped her in the air causing her to fall.

I looked over the edge and saw her below, impaled on a spike. Then a yellow orb flew up from her corpse and stopped in the air in front of me. For a second it took the form of a shield(the kind a knighy would wear) before returning to orb form and flying into my gauntlet.

"Whoa, you just got a spell." Justin said.

Then I raised my gauntlet and a yellow light like a hologram appeared over it and there appeared the shield. Not knowing why, I tapped it, then I held my arm out and concentrated like I would to use the Force. Suddenly a sphere of yellow energy appeared around me.

"This could be useful." I said as it dissappeared.

Then Justin looked like he had remembered something, "Follow me." He said running into the hall.

I didn't ask any questions and just ran after him.

Soon we came upon a set of walls with small barred windows.

"Everyone stand back!" Justin shouted.

Then after a second he sent a wave of energy at the wall obliterating at least two yards of it and revealing a good many people.

"Come on, you're free." Justin said.

You didn't need to tell those people twice as they ran like the wind.

"Sarah." a old voice said.

The three of us turned and saw an old man in purple robes, wearing a tall pointed hat with stars on it, and with a long beard. Sarah ran over to the man and hugged him as he knelt down to hug her.

"Hey Merlin." Justin said sheathing his sword.

"Hello Justin." Merlin said.

A few minutes later after we found the exit Justin turned to me.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye." he said.

"Yeah, I guess so." I said looking over at Sarah who just smiled.

I waved my hand and turned around and walked in the direction of the Tower Gate.

Dark Tower

Immediately as I returned I saw Rin run down the stairs and stop in from of me panting.

"I'm back." I said.

She looked like she was about to cry, "Welcome back." she said smiling. Then she threw her arms around me.
