Vader charged forward thrusting his gladius towards Ragnos' chest. Ragnos though side stepped and grabbed Vader's wrist and was going to flip Vader over into a wall but Vader's left fist flew out and connected with Marka's face. Ragnos released Vader and hit the ground a few feet away. Ragnos stood up and held his sword in his right hand motioning Vader forward. While Vader charged there was another fight going on in the room, Nero brought his sword down to split Mayhem's head in half but his blade was met by Mayhem's who started laughing harder. Hawk attacked Evil his blade moving at lightning speed but was met every time by Evil's sword. Mayhem brought his sword up and brought it down toward Nero's right shoulder but Nero ducked and slid to the side missing the blade and struck at Evil's side while she was blocking Hawks attack so his blade passed into her side. Nero did not see the attack from behind but heard a laughter that haunted him right before he was struck in the back by Mayhem's blade. Nero fell to the ground at the same time Evil did but Mayhem did not see Hawk's blade coming just above Nero and slashing him across the chest. Mayhem jumped back putting space between him and Hawk, then he began laughing again seeing a man drop down silently from the rafters, the man carried a long knife and began walking toward Hawk. Hawk began walking toward Mayhem but was stopped and turned around by the man who brought his knife up across Hawk's face, the blade did not go in deep but the tip of the blade drew a line from just above Hawk's mouth to just below his eye. Hawk looked at the man almost in terror seeing no face where the head was supposed to be but instead a black formless mask. Hawk had not been afraid of many people but something about this man scared him. The man then brought his left fist into Hawk's face knocking him out cold. The masked man turned and watched Ragnos and Vader attack each other furiously. Force energy flowed through their swords increasing the strength of the blade and causing sparks whenever they collide. Sweat beaded their faces and they began to feel pain every time their blades met. It looked like Vader might be beginning to get the upper hand when Ragnos flipped backwards putting a gap of 20 feet between himself and Vader and acted like he was pushing somebody away and Vader flew backwards and was almost embedded into the wall that was behind him. Vader pulled himself up and did the same and Ragnos flew back and hit the wall. They both stood and looked at each other. Ragnos and Vader were both exhausted and still their hatred for each other urged them to fight. They both ran at each other both willing their legs to work harder and faster. They both swung and when their blades touched they fell backwards onto the floor. By now everyone was in the room watching their leaders batter each, other but yet they still had not drawn blood. Almost everyone was holding their breath. Then Ragnos and Vader stood up, then fell to their knees. Iceheart saw this now and drew her katana and ran forward attempting to decapitate the weakened Ragnos. Suddenly she was lifted into the air and began to feel as if she was being crushed. Darth_Savage was standing behind her with a grim expression on his face. Iceheart used the Force to turn herself around and saw Savage doing this to her. " You! I will kill you!" she screamed at him. With that she let out a bolt of rage toward Savage, which leveled him but still she did not fall to the floor. Now a man named Kawaguchi was holding her in the air. " You have gone on long enough, it is time you are put back into your place." With that he threw Iceheart against the wall and knocked her out. Meanwhile Ragnos and Vader continued to fight on their knees. Everyone knew that if they continued they could both die of exhaustion so the man that was masked jumped up onto the second floor were the Death Troopers still were passed out on the floor and took his knife and as Vader's blade came down at Marka again and the man threw his blade. The knife found its mark and imbedded itself right above Vader's elbow so he could not extend his arm and he collapsed to the floor in pain. Marka looked down at Vader and thought about striking down Vader right now. He knew if the situation was reversed Vader would not give it a second thought but he had always told his disciples to behave with honor so he did not strike and called out Eclipse to find the man that threw the knife and bring him to him. Eclipse called Mayhem and a disciple by the name of Vodalus to follow him and find the knife thrower. It did not take them long to spot him. He was wearing long dark robes that hid every part of him and a formless mask was over his face with a black hood pulled over his head. He stayed still as the others joined him up there. " Lord Ragnos wants you down there to speak with him." Eclipse said dryly. The man nodded and jumped out of the area they were in and landed right infront of Ragnos who was now sitting in a chair regaining his strength. " You were the one who threw the knife that hit Vader?" Ragnos asked already knowing the answer to his question. The man nodded. " Well speak, who are you?" Ragnos tried to read the man's mind to see who he was but found that the man was using every ounce of his power in the Force to keep Ragnos out of his head. " I guess my new appearance has changed to the point were you can no longer recognize me. I am your disciple Morgoth." Ragnos hid the shock from his face. He had not known that Morgoth was strong enough to keep him out of his head or that he could even see any more much less through a mask. " Why did you strike down Vader when we were in an honorable combat?" Marka looked at the man standing before him. " It was obvious that both of you would die if it continued, so I took one man out of the question." Morgoth spoke coldly, he had always talked without much emotion but now he sounded as if he had not any motion at all. There was no happiness or sadness, hate or kindness in his voice. "Well then I thank you for saving our lives but what you did was dishonorable. So you will be punished as much as Vader sees fit except that you cannot be killed." Ragnos did not want to do this but he had to be fair. Two death troopers came and grabbed what they thought thought were his arms but came up with nothing but cloth. They tried to grab his arms again but only accomplished pulling off his robes, which revealed a hand and a half sword at his left side and a .50 caliber at his right. The trooper known as Jerec raised his gun to fire but it was to late as a bullet pierced threw him and the trooper behind him. " Morgoth! Drop your weapons now!" yelled Ragnos who was now standing and looking at Morgoth with his right hand crackling with energy. " I will not have these mindless fools taking me anywhere." He then dropped his gun to the floor and put his sword on the ground and walked to the room in which Vader was in. Ragnos watched as Morgoth left. He felt that since Morgoth's accident that now he would become very uncontrollable. Morgoth walked before Vader who was now back on his feet also. " Ragnos has instructed me to come to you for my punishment." Morgoth sayed dryly. " Why does Marka send people to discipline to me?" Vader asked with his eyebrow cocked upward. " I was the one that threw the knife that landed in your arm." Morgoth answered. Upon hearing this Vader reared back and sent a punch flying toward Morgoth's face. Morgoth pivoted on his right foot and let the punch fly past him and grabbed Vader's arm and pulled to the left and stuck out his foot so Vader would trip over it. Vader saw that this was a good move but easily gripped Morgoth's arm and flipped over Morgoth's leg which dislocated Morgoth's arm and then flipped him into a wall. Morgoth slumped to the ground and did not rise. Vader ripped off Morgoth's mask and grabbed a piece of iron and melted the end till it was a branding iron. He then used the Force to super heat the brand and jabbed it into Morgoth's face. About an hour and a half later Morgoth woke up and felt his face burning. He found that his mask was lying next to him so he quickly donned the mask but noticed something, when he placed the mask to his face his faced cooled, he then went to remove the mask and felt his skin begin to be pulled by the mask. He ran from the room and burst into Ragnos' private chambers. " It wasn't bad enough that I was blinded was it? You had to send me to Vader so he could do this!" Morgoth screamed as he removed his mask fully. Ragnos looked at his face that had finally cooled. Over Morgoth's face was branded the different symbols of the GE and different sith runes. Ragnos had to fight to keep from turning away from the horrible scars on his face. " I had no idea he would do that. I truly apologize for what has happened." Ragnos said still trying not to turn away. " Save it Ragnos! Your words are nothing. I hope to see you in hell were I will have the brand and be able to use it on you." With that Morgoth left the room and donned his robes and left taking his weapons with him. Ragnos held his head in his hands as he sat down. He did not want to try to stop Morgoth but yet he knew he had to do something. He then raised his head and began laughing.

" Why did you ask me and my men to be here?" Vader said anger evident in his voice. Ragnos was sitting in a chair with all of the DLOD standing behind his chair. The entire GE including a still recovering Iceheart and Jerec stood in the room. "You are here to see the inauguration of your new Emperor." Ragnos said with a smile on his face. Vader scowled catching the meaning of Ragnos' words. "You are declaring yourself Emperor?" Vader said feeling anger increase his power in the Force. "Yes, I am. So now you can call me Emperor Ragnos." Ragnos said his grin getting wider. Suddenly Vader saw one of his DT's bringing in a crown on top of a black pillow. The crown was carved out of silver and was painted black and carved into it were sithian symbols of power and symbols showing he was now not only Dark Lord but also Emperor. Then something about the crown caught Vader's eye. In the center of the crown was a purplish diamond looking object but sensing the power coming from the crystal he knew that it was a sithian amulet. It was the first of its kind on earth and he know hated Ragnos more because Ragnos had created it first. The man layed the crown ontop of a table were the disciple known as Vodalus picked the crown up from the pillow and raised it up into the air and said "This crown signifies the darkest lord and also he who will be ruler of existence." With that Vodalus was about to set the crown on Ragnos' head but it flew from his grasp and into the open hand of Vader. "You forget who is stronger here Ragnos." With that Vader placed the crown on his head and felt the power of the amulet. Ragnos saw what was happening and smiled the sent a Force blast that was not aimed at Vader but at the crown which hit the wall behind Vader with enough Force to shatter the crown and the amulet. "So you like the taste of true power? Well then know my full power as it courses through you." Ragnos raised his right hand, which held a amulet and let Force lightning flow into the amulet which intensified the blast and shot it out to Vader. Vader flew back and hit the wall but the lightning was still bearing on him. The Royal Guard Nero quickly threw his glaive in front of the bolt letting the lightning course threw the blade and into the ground. Vader stood quickly but hit the ground with a Force blast by Eclipse and Darkest Evil. The entire GE the stormed the front of the room drawing their weapons and attacking the DLOD. All of the DLOD jumped up and used the Force to drop down ropes that they had placed on the roof. They grabbed the ropes and climbed them as fast as they could but the DT's took aim and fired at the ropes. Then the rest of the GE pulled out their firearms and started firing away. Ragnos yelled out something that no one else could understand except for the disciples and they all began swinging back and forth and then let go flying out past the crowd of GE members and all landed expertly on the ground behind the members. They Force Blasted the doors down and went to run out only to find two men named GrandGeneral_Maximus and another by the name of Darth_Bane with a squadron of DT's behind them all with their guns raised and aimed to kill the DLOD members. "So what do you do know Ragnos? Any elaborate plan to get out of my obvious trap?" Vader asked a sneer on his face. Mayhem began laughing again, he was laughing uncontrollably this time, he knew they were all about to die and Ragnos said nothing to answer Vader. Maximus looked around everywhere and yelled out his order, "Execute them all!" with that all the DT's began to pull the triggers on their weapons when suddenly gas filled the room and blocked the vision of all in the building, one man dropped down from the roof and grabbed Ragnos and Force jumped threw a hole in the roof. Before Ragnos could see who he was the man had dived back in and started grabbing other DLOD members and jumping up with them and using the Force to carry others. The man had finally got all of the members up when he dropped down again and grabbed Darth_Savage and jumped up with him out onto the roof. Ragnos finally got a good look at the man that had rescued them all. It was Morgoth, without his robes on but it was him. Morgoth stayed silent and after he donned his robes again he motioned for all of them to follow him. Morgoth led them for about three hours, it looked as though they had been going around in circles and hiding to much. They had constantly been ducking and hiding in spots from contingents of DT's. Finally they came to an area where there was a road and a limousine and Hawk had been standing there waiting for them. Ragnos looked at the car as all the other disciples went in and sat down in the back seat except for Savage who sat next to the driver. Ragnos sat in the limo and looked at all of the ones sitting around him. " Does someone care to explain what the hell just happened? " he said a bit relieved that he was alive but puzzled about how it happened. All of the disciples there had a wide grin on their faces. Eclipse was the first to speak up, " Well sire, we all new that we were probably going to need a quick get away if Vader decided to attack so we had Morgoth on the roof." Eclipse's grin widened as he talked. Ragnos looked confused again, " Then why did Morgoth come to me and said he quit the DLOD?" Mayhem began laughing, " We all found out that some power was flowing into the room that did not belong to the lights or anything else in your room. So we figured there must be a camera in your room, so after Morgoth was branded he acted like he was upset with you and left." Ragnos began to smile at this, " So you all did this behind my back?" he asked already knowing the answer. " Well we had to otherwise Vader would have been able to sense it. I don't think you realize how many of your thoughts project out to anyone who is even slightly sensitive to the Force." Morgoth said. Ragnos looked at the disciple darkly not very happy at that remark. Everyone looked at the two men, then the limo stopped and a tall woman opened the door and motioned for everybody to step out of the car. All of the disciples exited first and then Ragnos came out behind them, this was not done because the disciples wanted to be first but because the disciples wanted to protect Ragnos at all cost. The woman in front of them was fairly tall, about 5'9, at her left side was a rapier that was made out of titanium like all of the others but she was not with the GE or the DLOD at the building they were staying in. She bowed to Ragnos and then motioned them all to a private plane that was waiting for them. Kawaguchi looked at the cockpit and saw that the pilot was a normal everyday pilot but his eyes were different, he increased his vision through the Force and saw that the pilot's eyes seemed to bounce all around inside of the sockets. Apparently this is what happens to someone who gets controlled by the Force. Kawa turned back to everyone who had already started walking toward the plane. Everyone except Mayhem did not know who the lady was, it wasn't that there weren't women in the DLOD but nobody was sure who her character was. They all boarded the plane and took their seats. The lady went up into the cockpit and the plane took off. "Where did they go!!!" Vader asked pissed as hell. The man in front of Vader cringed; he did not want to be standing in front of Vader but he had been chosen to bring the news to Vader. He knew what happened to the ones who brought bad news to Vader in the movies and he feared he was going to be able to experience the horrible sensation. Vader grew angrier at the man. " How do that many people just disappear when they don't know anything about the area around here!" Vader yelled again. " I don't know sir." The man said meekly hopping to maybe appear less important and Vader would choose someone else to take out his frustrations on. Vader was not pleased by the mans answer and swung his left arm striking the man causing his head to snap back and start to fall back when he brought his right hand around and sent a Force blast at the man. The man hit the wall and fell in a unnatural position. Vader looked at the man lying dead on the floor and felt a little bit better and walked out of the room and called all members of the GE to a room that they used for announcements. Vader stood in front of everyone and began to speak, " As you all know the coward known as Ragnos has proclaimed himself emperor and then left with his tail between his legs. Well now we will hunt the DLOD down and kill them, forget trying to take them all down man to man, work as a team. Overwhelm all disciples you can find, crush them back to the dust that they were made out of! With every officer will go three troopers; I will take the Royal Guards and DeathGuard with me. We will not only take down the DLOD in a crushing blow but also we will take down the American government." Vader stopped speaking and all of the members of the GE stood as one and saluted then rushed out of the room to get all of their supplies together and go out to their destinations. Vader, DeathGuard and the rest of the Royal Guards left at that moment towards a air force base to get some of the things they would need in order to carry out Vader's plan. " So who are you?" Ragnos asked the lady that had met them at the plane. " Master you do not recognize me? Well I guess having never met in the real world can do that. I am Nova." She looked at Ragnos and Ragnos nodded to her. " Well there are a few more disciples that we need to pick up, then we need to separate to carry out my plan. So everyone get some well deserved sleep and we will talk more when we are back on the ground." He then began to lay back in his chair to go to sleep when he turned around to see Sauron behind him. " How is the hand?" Ragnos asked. Sauron looked at Ragnos and said, " Well they were able to reattach the hand and used the Force in order to give me use of it again." Sauron gave a week smile, it was evident that he was still exhausted from the blood he lost but had still enough energy to help in the escape. Ragnos turned back around and drifted off to sleep. He did not enjoy his sleep though, he had a vision of every member of the DLOD under a brutal attack by multiple figures and he saw them all killed, he then saw Vader and his men making multiple strikes of some of the biggest cities in America. Ragnos woke in a cold sweat and decided to come up with a new plan, he knew that Vader would rule the world with an iron fist and he now ruled out the members splitting up to work on different missions, they must all stick together now because the GE would not give up now.
