In Evil, Residing
Conquest Beginning
Treylon walked onto the bridge of his ship and he sat down in the command chair; the screen flicked on and the Admiral came on.
"Lieutenant, it is time. Assemble with the group that I have clustered and prepare to move out." Treylon nodded and the screen switched to space.
"Delquin, move us now."
"Yes sir." The Maru moved into a group of a few thousand ships and a Slipspace portal materialized in front of them.
"Treylon," The Admiral came up and he gave out his orders. "I give you control of this contingent; report back to me if you are about to do anything drastic."
"Yes sir." The ships moved through the portal and Venom awaited.
The two dragons dragged the unconscious vixen through the hallway to the cell.
"She is so weak."
"Yes and I hope that Treylon had some fun."
"Him? What about us? I haven't been with a dragoness in so long."
"I've probably been longer. Let's just get her in the cell and get back to the barracks; I hear that Venom is only a few hours away."
"Will we get to kill any Venomians?"
"Depends on whether they accept to join with us." The two dragons came to the cell and Fox looked at them. One dragon pulled a blaster while the other flicked off the shield; Fox stood sill as Krystal was thrown in with Fox. The shield powered up and the dragons marched off.
"Krystal," Fox said as he picked her up. "Hey, wake up." He stroked her head and Krystal's eyes slowly opened.
"Fox?" She was cradled in his arms and she rested her head on his chest. "Fox, oh it was terrible."
"Did he hurt you at all?"
"Yes, I sustained a few hits on the muzzle but that is it." Fox held her tighter and Treylon walked down into the cell.
"Well, the two lovers." Fox glared at him and Krystal wrapped her tail around Fox's leg. "Now don't start hating me, I didn't do anything drastic to your vixen."
"Go to Hell, Treylon." The dragon laughed and he crossed his arms.
"You know where we are going now? Venom." Krystal felt a stab of pain from Fox and he told her about the loss of his father on Venom. "Yes, hopefully the scientist Andross will be cooperative and join in our cause."
"I hope you meet your death there Treylon."
"Wishful thinking never got anyone anything Fox. As far as I know, Lylat will fall to our power and your race will just be a memory." He strode out of the cell and Fox felt Krystal shake as she cried on his shoulder, she was having a complete breakdown and Fox sat her down.
"Fox, I just can't take it anymore. I've been trying to be strong but the fact that I could be the last Cerinian appalls me. I can't go on." She sat on the cell's floor and her head lowered as Fox sat beside her. "Death must be a better alternative than this." Fox paused and she saw him hesitate.
Maybe she was right.
"Lieutenant, there is a Venomian battle group approaching."
"Power the weapons up but don't fire. I want to see if I can get them to join us." The Dragonian cluster stopped and the Venomians halted a few hundred clicks away.
"Sir, we're being hailed." Treylon nodded and the screen came on. The figure was a gray lupine, he had one eye covered with an eye patch, black and red uniform on and he crossed his arms. The two stared at each other and Treylon stood up from his chair.
"I come in peace and wish to speak to Andross." The lupine smiled and Treylon was taken off guard.
"Andross no longer is here. He was destroyed a few years ago and I was put in his place. I am Wolf O'Donnell, what do you want with Venom?"
"I want you to join our cause; if you would, I would like to talk to you on my ship." The lupine sat down in his chair and he mulled it over.
"Is this your whole fleet?" Treylon knew this would be the moment; if he answered wrong, the lupine would surely attack.
"This is only a showing of what we have and I do want to discuss this with you."
"So you want me to come aboard and we will talk about joining forces?"
"Yes."
"Why would we join together?"
"To destroy Corneria and rule Lylat together." Wolf smiled and Treylon knew he had him hooked.
"I accept, separate your craft from the fleet and I'll meet you in the middle." The screen cut off and Treylon smiled, he had won for the moment.
The two ships docked and Wolf stepped into the loading area of the dragon ship; everything was huge and he felt very small since he had left his crew in his ship. A door opened on his left and Treylon stepped through. Wolf had to look up to him and he felt a bit apprehensive as Treylon led Wolf through the ship. "I am Lieutenant Treylon and this is my craft, the Maru." Other dragons walked by them and Wolf felt like a kit again as they walked around. Treylon hit a button on the wall and the elevator doors opened, they stepped in and the doors closed.
"Very impressive Lieutenant." Treylon just smiled and the doors opened; Wolf noticed that the elevator had gone up a few levels. They walked through a hallway and Treylon walked through a door to their left. Wolf followed and they arrived at his quarters.
"Have a seat." Treylon said as they walked to his desk. He sat down and Wolf sat in the chair opposite him. "So Wolf, how long have you been in control of Venom?"
"Oh uh, a few years."
"Now you know that we would join forces and take down Corneria together?"
"Yes, Corneria and Venom have been enemies for years and I would like to stop that in the form of destroying the planet."
"I like your spirit Wolf. Did you know that I have a Cornerian onboard?"
"You do?" Wolf showed surprise and Treylon folded his paws.
"Yes, you wouldn't know a mercenary by the name of Fox McCloud would you?" Wolf clenched his paw and Treylon had struck a nerve.
"Yes, he took my eye."
"I also have a Cerinian vixen that is very close to him." He saw a glint of revenge in Wolf's eye and Treylon smiled. "I have a deal for you Wolf, I'll give you the pair to do whatever you want with and you give me your allegiance and together we will destroy Corneria. How does that sound?" Treylon smiled as Wolf nodded.
He had played his cards right and Wolf was in his claws.
Wolf walked down the stairs with Treylon and they came into the cell. Fox stood up and the two rivals locked gazes.
"Wolf?"
"Yes, Fox it has been a long time." He took out his blaster and pointed it at the mercenary. He fired and Fox hit the floor, stunned. The field turned off and Wolf walked up to the cringing vixen. "And who are you?" She didn't answer and Treylon smiled disarmingly at her.
"That's Krystal, Fox's bitch." She glared at the dragon and Wolf pointed the blaster at her.
"Are you going to be nice or do I have to shoot you?" Krystal stood up and Wolf ran a paw through her hair. She responded by a slap to the muzzle and her claws were out, they left three streaks of red on his muzzle and he hit her back.
Hmm, he's a cruel lupine…pity that Venom might- he was cut off by his Comm ringing and Treylon flicked it on.
"Yes?"
"Sir, the new shipment of troops you requested is here."
"Thank you Delquin, I'll be there in a moment." He turned to Wolf and Krystal was crying, she had sustained a kick in the side and he had the blaster to her head. "Would you like to go to our ship now?"
"Yes, can do something about him? I thought that I would only come for Fox, but I think I'll just take the vixen. Can you arrange that?"
"Yes, I can arrange it." Wolf hauled up Krystal and he kept the blaster to her head as Treylon turned on the field, locking Fox in. They walked back to the docking bay and Wolf returned to his ship. It shot out of the bay of the Maru and Treylon walked over to the troop carrier. Dragons were piling out and one walked over to him.
"Sir, are you the Capitan?"
"No, I am the Lieutenant and you will address me as that." The dragon bowed to offer his apologies and he gave his report.
"Sir, the requested 300 dragons are here with the supplies you asked for also. 250 MK IV explosive charges, 32,000 assorted weapons, two replacement cores for the engines, and an upgrade for the cloaking and shield."
"Thank you, you are dismissed." The crew began taking the supplies out of the carrier and a dragon walked up to him.
"Treylon," The dragon lowered its head and he looked down.
"Yes, what is it?" The dragon kept its head lowered and Treylon recognized her. "Lex!" Lex raised her head and their gazes locked.
"Treylon, can we go somewhere private?"
"Yes, come on." They walked into the elevator and she took off her helmet revealing long dark hair. They embraced in a fiery kiss and Treylon held her tight. "I missed you so much." The elevator came to a stop and Lex quickly replaced her helmet as the doors opened. They walked together down the hallway and most dragons moved out of their way, they walked into Treylon's quarters and she removed her helmet.
"Wow, you have quite a ship here."
"Thanks, now you have to be quiet because if I get a call on my Comm, I don't want anyone to know you are here." Lex nodded and she walked over to him. They embraced and she laid her head on his shoulder.
"I'm glad that we are back together again."
"So am I." They kissed and Treylon moved her over by the pod.
Fox groaned as he sat up in the cell, he placed a paw on his head and rubbed the spot where the blaster bolt nailed him. He opened his eyes and Krystal was gone, Wolf had taken her and the field was back in place. He stood up and a cry erupted from his throat as he pounded his fists on the field.
"TREYLON! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE! I WILL KILL YOU!" He screamed until his voice went hoarse. He fell to his knees and tears flowed unashamedly as he bit down on his lip until blood flowed. Fox fell to the ground and his life seemed to shatter without the vixen. "Krystal, no, I can't be without you." He whispered as Fox cried on the floor. "Wolf…O'DONNELL!" He screamed as Fox leapt up. "WOLF!"
Wolf O'Donnell walked off the shuttle and he pressed the barrel harder against the vixen's head.
"Play nice Krystal and this will be painless." They walked through the Venomian craft and they walked into an elevator. Wolf released Krystal and she shot to the other side, unfortunately that only made them three feet apart. Wolf gazed at her and Krystal shrank down to the corner of the lift; she had seen what was in his heart and Krystal was trembling at what she saw. "Wow, how did Fox ever get a vixen like you?" She did not answer and he hit a button on the elevator. It whizzed up and Wolf boxed her in the corner. "Don't you have a voice?"
"Yes, get away from me." Wolf hauled her up and her muzzle contorted in pain as she closed her eyes; Wolf had latched onto her wrist and she felt the full extent of his evil.
"What is going on with you?" He said as Krystal leaned against the wall. Wolf stroked her forehead and she opened her eyes. Wolf's black eyes gazed into hers and the elevator came to a stop. He took her by the paw and they walked into a hallway, they walked into a room and it was richly decorated.
"Is this your quarters?"
"Yes, now let me lay the ground rules: Try to escape and I will find you and kill you, try to kill me and you will meet your end at the paws of my crew, and finally, you shall submit to me in any and every way." Wolf threw her down, rested a booted paw on her torso and pulled the blaster out. "And I'm not afraid to kill you." He lifted the paw and Krystal slowly stood up.
"Wolf, are you going to kill me?"
"Misbehave just once and yes, consider your life forfeit." He pulled out his blaster and Wolf fired, the low power stun beam nailed her in the chest and she hit the floor. Still conscious, Wolf lifted her up and placed her on a couch that was to their left, he went into his room and pulled out a small immobilizer (that would be a device that attaches to the neck, like a collar, and the rest is self explanatory.) He walked back to Krystal and fastened the device on her neck. "When the stun wears off, you still won't be able to move so don't try to or you will end up hurt worse than I could ever do." He sat down next to her and lightly ran his paw through her hair. She saw into his mind and her eyes betrayed her as Wolf smiled. "No, not yet, but be patient." Wolf licked her muzzle and then he walked out of the room. Krystal shook off the feeling and she concentrated on building up her psi power.
Treylon awoke sometime later in the pod, Lex lay beside him and he admired her form as a smile came onto his face. No sleep was possible last night since there was so much catching up to do, although he had caught a few cycles this morning. Lex stirred and she opened her eyes.
"Hey Treylon." They clasped paws and she pressed her body to his as their scales clicked together.
"Did you have a good time last night?"
"Yes, I had forgotten about-" Her sentence was cutoff as his Comm rang. He moved out of the pod and he flicked on the Comm.
"Lieutenant, you need to come to the bridge."
"Can you give me a few minutes?"
"Yes, but the Admiral is waiting for you."
"Ok Delquin, I'll be there in a few." The Comm clicked off and Lex had walked up beside him when he turned around. Her scales shined in the dim light cast by space outside and she looped an arm around him.
"Stay for a bit longer."
"I can't, if the Admiral needs you, then you have to go. Stay here or wait until the halls are clear before leaving. If I need you, you'll know." They kissed one last time and Treylon slipped on his clothes.
"Treylon, excellent work." The Admiral said when he was informed about the alliance with Venom. "Now, I need you to gather a force with a mixed company of Venomians and Dragons, report back to me when you are ready, I will supply a flagship and then you must attack Corneria. No negotiations are allowed so, strike fast and swift and we will win glory for the Hierarchs!"
"Amen." Treylon said and the screen turned back to space. "Amen to that."
