The Hunter and the Hunted

Ra was shocked as his ship jumped out of hyperspace right near the outer satellites of Neptune. Serenity's light was stronger than he had thought, almost blinding. The dark power he had sensed was also stronger, but deeper, hidden. Ra was more concerned about something else, however.

Around him, he felt four seperate powers emerging slowly. They were connected to four, large nearby planets. Ra waited, he didn't know what this meant yet but he would find out before he proceeded any further. Once he knew that they where, he could eliminate them and get to Serenity, he smiled, watching the symbiote of his queen swim around in the tank before him.

Thor watched Ra arrive. He had managed to remain unseen as he followed him. But he was confused. Ra's ship simply sat near Neptune's outer satellites. Thor had expected Ra to go straight for the Moon without delay but here he sat, as if waiting for something. Or someone.

Thor realized that Ra may be in league with other System Lords, even though it didn't follow Ra's past behavior. All he could do was sit and watch. The Gou'ald were not skilled at sublery in general so Thor knew if he waited, Ra would reveal his plans.
