In Evil, Residing
Termination Factor
Treylon smiled as he sat back in his chair, the strike force was preparing to leave but it would be another hour or so before they could. Everything was falling into place.
"Delquin, contact the Admiral." The dragon nodded and the Admiral's face came up a few seconds later on the view screen.
"Treylon, I was wondering when you would report back to me."
"Yes sir, I have conquered Venom and now Corneria is about to fall."
"Have you sent down the strike team?"
"No, they are still prepping but I have wrenched control of the planet from the local authorities."
"Good. I want you to hold off the attack for a moment Treylon, I think I will take a trip to Corneria to see your progress. Would that be ok?"
"Yes sir." The Admiral nodded and his vid shot died and Treylon smiled again.
"I see that you are pleased sir." Delquin said and the dragon Lieutenant nodded.
"I am, this is turning out to be a great day." Treylon said and he smiled. "Hold off the strike force until the Admiral is here." Delquin nodded and Treylon waited.
A small shuttle dropped from Slipspace and it was surrounded by five other fighters; the craft mixed in with the dragon fleet and it pulled into the Maru's docking bay. Treylon walked from the elevator and he walked up to the shuttle, the hatch opened and a powerfully built dragon walked into the bay. He was eight feet tall, wearing black armor, gold eyes roving around the bay and his red tongue flicking in and out.
"Treylon, so this is the Maru." The Lieutenant kneeled in front of his commander and he lowered his head in a respective fashion.
"Yes, Admiral. Do you approve?" The Admiral smiled a rare smile and he placed a paw on Treylon's shoulder.
"I do and stand up; I can't stand all this groveling." Treylon quickly rose to his feet and the Admiral smiled. "I see that my Lieutenant has prospered since I have given him many responsibilities."
"I have tried to do my best." Treylon said and they walked to the elevator. The doors closed on them and the Admiral turned to Treylon.
"Now, what is this escaped prisoner business that I have heard about?" Treylon paused and the Admiral had him back up against the wall, his armored and spiked arm to his neck. "Treylon, don't lie to me." The Admiral whispered and Treylon was paralyzed with fear.
"Well, um, I-I-I…I had a vulpine and a vixen in my brig. The male escaped and I released the vixen to Wolf O'Donnell the Venomian commander."
"And what happened to them?"
"The vixen escaped from Wolf, and I really…don't know…where they are." The Admiral's eyes blazed yellow and he dug the razor sharp triangles on his arm into Treylon's neck.
"Treylon, do you know what I should do to you?"
"Yes, I should be demoted back to Capitan."
"Yes, and I should also hang your Goddamn body over the flagship of this fleet. That is the second strike, one more and I will kill you with my bare paws." He meant it too. The Admiral's eyes cooled down and he released his Lieutenant. "But I will not kill you now, you are still a valuable instrument to me and you will keep your rank as Lieutenant." He said and Treylon looked down. He had come perilously close to death from his own Admiral and he rubbed his neck.
"Yes sir, Admiral." The door opened and they walked onto the bridge. The Admiral looked over his crew and they stood to attention.
"So this is your crew…" He walked around them and they froze, the Admiral sat down in Treylon's chair and Treylon walked behind him. "Hmm, so this is where you sit?"
"Yes sir." The Admiral stood up and he gestured for Treylon to sit. "Thank you sir."
"So, is the strike force ready?" Treylon nodded and the Admiral stopped, the Katinian fleet had arrived. The vid shot of a dragon came up and the Admiral noticed that Treylon's claws came out a bit. "Now who are you?"
"I am Scion and you are the Admiral, but I cannot allow you to attack Corneria."
"And why is that, insolent dragon?" He asked and Scion smiled at his Lieutenant.
"Treylon. Well, because the Hierarchs are wrong and they are commanding you to commit genocide."
"Scion, if you try to stop us, the Dragon fleet will crush you and destroy your fleet."
"Well, there is one problem, it's not mine." The vid shot died and two flagships moved out of the Katinian Fleet under the control of Bill Grey and Fox McCloud. Scion and Lex had control of the Cerinian craft and Krystal was with Fox as the battle was engaged. The ships swarmed and Fox's flagship's shield came online, the engines lit up and the shield was enhanced greatly. The flagship plowed through the Dragon fleet and the Admiral got on the Comm.
"Attention all ships, this is the Admiral, take down the flagships first, I repeat, take down the flagships."
Fox held onto his seat as his ship rocked as they rammed a frigate.
"How's the shield holding?"
"98 percent and stabilizing sir. We are experiencing a lot of fire now; it seems that the entire dragon fleet has locked onto Bill's and our flagship."
""Power up all weapons and fire at will." Fox said as the Comm Officer nodded. He ran his paws over the console and outside, the armor moved a bit as lateral and forward guns came out. They started firing their heavy blasters and the Dragon fleet was taking heavy losses.
"Treylon, we are losing here!" The Admiral yelled and the Lieutenant stood up.
"I know, dammit! I don't know where the Goddamn fleet came from!" The Admiral narrowed his eyes and the bridge crew felt the tension rise.
"Treylon, don't you raise your voice to me."
"Admiral, it doesn't matter, if we don't organize the fleet now, we are dead!" The Admiral lashed out with his paw and Treylon went down.
"Treylon, you are stepping out of line. I suggest you fix your tone when talking to me." Treylon stood up but the Admiral knocked him down again. "You remain on the floor lizard." He leaned down and ripped the Lieutenant's stripes off. "Treylon, I am taking control of your vessel and you are now a mere corporal." Delquin saw the look on his muzzle and it gave way to anger as Treylon leapt on the Admiral. He managed to land a few hits when the Admiral tossed him off. "So its mutiny is it?"
"Go to Hell." Treylon spat out the phrase and his Commander smiled.
"You first." He whispered and the Admiral drew out a small tube. He squeezed it and the three foot energy sword came out. Treylon responded with his own and they circled each other, growling.
"Treylon, you know that no one has beaten me in combat before."
"There's always a first time." Treylon shot back and the Admiral yelled as he swung. Treylon blocked the blow but was also knocked back a few inches as the Admiral's strength overpowered him. Treylon ducked a swipe and he lashed out at the legs. The Admiral jumped over the blade and he smashed his tail on Treylon's back, the dragon went down and the Admiral sighed.
"Get up." Treylon slowly stood back up and the Admiral put on paw behind him as the battle raged outside. "C'mon Treylon."
"AHHHHH!" Treylon yelled as he lunged. The Admiral just sidestepped the blow and he slammed the flat of the blade on Treylon. It cut into his armor and the shields were not online; Treylon screamed as a bit of blood hit the floor. He staggered against a wall and the Admiral sighed.
"I thought you were better than this Treylon." Treylon turned around and he quickly raised the blade as the Admiral launched a devastating attack, he repeatedly smashed his blade down onto Treylon's. Treylon bent to his power and he screamed as he lost his paw, the blade was extinguished and the Admiral placed the blade at the dragon's throat. "You have been judged and you know what this means right?" Treylon clutched his severed paw and blood ran onto the deck as the blade was raised. "Your life is forfeit." The blade came down and it passed through Treylon's neck, his dead body hit the floor and the Admiral turned off the sword. He turned to the bridge crew and a smile came onto his muzzle. "Now, I am the Admiral of this fleet and I will not be overruled." He sat in Treylon's chair and he rubbed his chin. "Who is the Comm Officer?"
"I am." Delquin said.
"And your name?"
"Delquin sir."
"Then let's win this fight."
The Cerinian craft danced in Scion's paws and he saw the Maru turn around.
"What is Treylon doing?" Lex asked as she ran her paws over the weapons console.
"I don't know, I think he may be trying to rally the troops." He took the Comm and contacted Fox.
"Scion."
"Treylon is making a run with the Maru, take him out." Fox nodded and Scion did a barrel roll. A group of dragon fighters shot by him and he launched a rear missile, they were vaporized and he pulled up along side of Fox's flagship. The main gun on the flagship charged up and it launched a green bolt; that slammed the Maru and the frigate was blown sideways.
"Damage report!" The Admiral yelled and Delquin tried to regain control of the craft.
"Sir, we lost the Slipspace generator and our shields are completely gone. Structural integrity is at 50 percent and dropping." The Admiral cursed and he looked back at the view screen.
"Hail them."
"Sir?"
"HAIL THEM!" He screamed and Delquin brought up the vid screen.
"Treylon?" Fox asked and the Admiral stood up.
"No, he has been relived of his command. I am the Admiral of the Dragon fleet-"
"Why have you hailed us?" Fox cut him off and the Admiral's eyes blazed.
"To offer terms of surrender."
"For us? No, I will not surrender to the likes of you." The vid shot vanished and the Admiral looked at Delquin.
"Sir, they are powering up their main gun again…" A green beam slammed into the Maru and it detonated.
Fifteen years later…
The sliver craft orbited over Corneria, the aftermath of the attack was over and a major takeover had been adverted. Fox walked into the bridge of the craft and he sat down in the command chair.
"Wow, I can't believe that we did it." He whispered and a cerulean vixen walked up behind him.
"Hey Fox." He swiveled the chair around and she sat on his lap.
"Krystal, can you believe that it has been fifteen years since that day that Corneria almost fell?"
"No, has it really been that long?" She kissed him and a voice echoed into the room.
"Ahh, that's so sweet." Fox looked over Krystal's shoulder and a fifteen year old vixen walked up to them. She had brown fur with white paws that gave her a glove like effect, blue eyes and a white tip to her tail.
"Kayla, I wondered when you had gone." She was their daughter and Kayla smiled.
"Well, I was just hanging out with Telarc." She said and the dragon walked into the room. He looked quite a bit like Scion with black scales, green eyes, seven and a quarter feet tall and a smile on his muzzle.
"Hey Fox, did I catch you at a bad time?" Krystal moved off him and she blushed a bit under her fur.
"No, not at all. Where's Scion and Lex?"
"Down on the planet's surface, they said that they would be back in a few hours." Fox nodded and Kayla smiled at Telarc.
"Well I see that we have some time." The dragon smiled and he nodded.
"Yes, well, um," Telarc stumbled over his words and Kayla took his paw. They walked out of the room and Fox shook his head.
"You know I never thought I would see out daughter with a dragon."
"He is trustworthy, Fox."
"How do you, oh yeah." He remembered her psi power and Krystal sat back down on his lap.
"So what do you want to do?"
"Well, I was thinking," He was cut off by Krystal kissing him and after a while, she broke the kiss. "Exactly."
Telarc sat down on the couch in the living room and Kayla sat next to him, he flicked on the TV and he put an arm around her.
"So what do you want to watch?"
"I don't know," She paused and the vixen crawled on top of Telarc. "It really doesn't matter." The dragon put his arms around her and she laid her head under his muzzle. Telarc flicked the TV off and he stroked the back of her neck.
"Do you think your parents trust me?"
"Yes, I do. And so do I." She placed a paw on his muzzle and Kayla closed her eyes; she had received the psi power from Krystal when she was born and Telarc felt her explore his mind.
Dragonis 3 hung in space as there was no fleet; the entire armada had been wiped out back at Corneria.
In the Temple of the Hierarchs, the four dragons were gathered around two dragons.
"The Admiral's death was unfortunate…"
"Yes but we have a new candidate here." Three moved back and one rose off his chair.
"What is your name child?" The dragoness was kneeled before him and she lifted her gaze; the dragoness was gray scaled, dark blue eyes, red and yellow hair on her head and she was wearing Standards.
"My clan name is Xeon."
"Your name now is Admiral and you will be my Fleet Admiral once it is rebuilt."
"Thank you O Holy One." She kneeled back down and a smile came onto her face, she would bring honor to her clan.
She would bring down the Lylat System.
Author's Note: Well, it is done. I don't plan to write a sequel but if I get enough reviews, I might. I will release a sequel to Dance of the Macabre, a story about Fox in a max security prison, soon but until then, I am collaborating on a story with Nintendoshawn. I will also keep writing on The System, but you might have to wait a bit for the next chapter. So, until next time.
