Chapter 5: A Light and Darkness

Odessen Base: Meeting Room

The Outlander and his newly reformed Eternal Alliance watched the holonews. A lot of protests were made. The disappearing of Satele, Acina and the Republic and Imperial Military, had led to crime rates increasing across many Republic and Imperial Worlds.

The Outlander commented: "It doesn't look good. The rate of crime has increased drastically."

Lana said: "The Hutt Cartel, Exchange, The Shadow Syndicate and a lot more individuals possessing power are involved."

Theron commented: "Damn it! What is the Republic and Empire doing?!"

Arcann said: "This is Neyx we are talking about. He probably plans something."

Koth asked: "You seem to be interested in him?"

Arcann answered: "Considering the scale of damage, the allies we have lost, and the overwhelming power we faced. It surprises me more that you haven't thought of him at all."

Senya asked: "Maybe we should focusing on, how we can help all the people who are caught in this chaos?"

The Outlander said: "Senya is right. We should head to Hutta and stop the Hutts."

Nadia said: "We are ready to assist any way we can Commander."

The Outlander said: "Everyone! Let us make preparations."

In the corner of the room. Hylo were sitting down staring toward the meeting table. A transceiver had secretly been placed under the communication relay. The entire Alliance meeting were bugged.

Odessen Base: Surveillance Room

Shae stood in the Surveillance Room. She pushed on a button. The Cameras showing Eternal Fleet Battlecruisers floating a top of Zakuul deactivated.

Shae open a holo which were untraceable.

Shae said: "Odessen's eyes have been shut, as you requested."

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room

Jackal was standing on the other end.

He answered: "Excellent. That is all for now. Report back once anything has changed."

Shae replied: "Understood sir."

Shae closed the contact. Jackal turned toward Neyx who stood nearby.

He said: "Odessen is blind."

Neyx answered and asked: "Excellent job Jackal. Any news from June yet?"

He answered: "Not yet boss. Although I don't particularly like to have those droids near me."

Neyx replied: "I know what you mean. But they are necessary for our operation. Try to make it work for now."

Jackal bowed and said: "Yes boss."

Palades Orbit:

Many Scepter Six Dreadnought Class warships appeared.

White Dreadnought Flagship: Bridge

June took contact and asked playfully: "Miss me?"

Neyx answered calmly and asked: "Obviously. You came just in time. How was it?"

June answered and asked: "Interesting world, so many droids and so much advanced technology. What was that place?"

Neyx answered: "An engineered and backup world to another place called *Iokath*."

June said: "Well I got what you wanted. An army of Droids. Wait for me."

Neyx answered: "Right."

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - War Room

Neyx stood in a room. Satele, Acina, Jace, Shana, June and Jackal were also present. They all watched the holonews.

Acina said: "Damn Hutts! Taking advantage of our absences."

Jace replied: "The Republic Worlds have also been overrun with criminals!"

June commented: "From here it looks like the apocalypse on each world."

Satele asked: "Any suggestions Leader Neyx?"

Neyx said: "All preparation are ready. I need you all to agree with it before we can proceed."

Shana commented: "It sounds like something serious."

Neyx answered: "Millions to billions will die when I send the order. The question is... are you able to accept it?"

Acina answered quickly: "I accept. My people need it."

Shana replied: "I agree."

Neyx looked at Satele who said: "I accept too. Our people need us."

Jace said: "Indeed it is shame, but other methods would only turn the people against us."

Jackal smirked said: "You already know my answer boss."

June smiled and said: "I am with you all the way."

Neyx proclaim: "The decision is unanimous. Follow me. Let us begin."

Neyx left the room with his top advisors and personnel returning to the throne room.

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room

Neyx took out a modified holocron. Neyx used his Force and open it.

Neyx said: "My Parity Crusaders. Let this Ulticron and my visions guide you into battle!"

The Ulticron glowed. Every Force Users' eyes began glowing white. All of them were imprinted with targets of criminals across different worlds.

Shana stepped forward and say: "We won't let those scums oppress our peoples!"

Jace continued: "For the Republic! For the Empire! For the Sovereign Republic Empire!"

Every Parity Crusader began cheering.

Neyx said: "Jackal I am counting on you. Lead them into battle well."

Jackal bowed and replied: "As you wish, master Neyx."

Neyx said: "Shana and Jace join Jackal. As Supreme Commanders bear witness to the events occurring on our worlds."

Shana and Jace answered: "Understood Leader Neyx."

The two stared at each other and then left.

June asked curiously: "Do you have a job for me Leader?"

Neyx answered: "Just in case. Take some droids and backup Mentz. You are going to Zakuul."

June commented: "Great! Back at that godforsaken world. I am on it."

June bowed and ran. Her personal companions follow her.

Satele asked: "So what shall we do?"

Neyx answered: "Return to your quarters and meditate. Tremors in the Force will likely occur. I need to prepare for broadcasting."

Acina and Satele said: "Understood Leader."

Zakuul Orbit:

Twelve Black StarFighters flown by Neyx's subordinates, launched assaults on the Eternal Fleet. They manage to distract them, making it possible for an army of Sovereign Troops to sneak in.

Zakuul: The Spire East

The Sovereign Troops were already in Zakuul accompanied by a corps of GenoHaradan Agents. The Sovereign Troops were led by Mentz. Destruction occurred all across Zakuul. Three Skytrooper factories have been destroyed. The order was to destroy many of Zakuul's resources. Mentz engaged Zakuul Knights in battle. He moved in quickly and cut them down. One by one the knights fell. The Sovereign Troops gathered lightsabers, lightsaber pikes and used it against skytroopers and other Zakuul Knights. The Sovereign Troops quickly gained the upper hand.

A Sovereign Soldier reported: "General Mentz! We have set all the charges in East. But quite a lot of skytroopers are still being produced!"

Mentz answered: "We already know all the locations! Move in to destroy!"

Mentz continued walking. Corpses laid all around him. A few of his own troops were among them.

Mentz encountered Exarchs as he turned around.

An exarch said: "You have done enough damage! This is ends here!"

All of them yelled: "For Zakuul!"

They ran forward. But with intense speed Mentz made a quickstep and appeared behind them. They all fell as they realized they had been cut down.

Mentz spoke to himself: "Master Neyx... why are the GenoHaradan in Zakuul? What are you planning?"

Multiple explosions occurred nearby. The East area had been cleared of Skytrooper factories. Mentz stared at the Exarchs and Zakuul Knights with pity in his eyes. The GenoHaradan began moving further ahead. Mentz's army split in two.

Mentz stared around.

He commented: "All resources should be destroyed... right?"

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room

Neyx sat on his throne and remembered back.

Neyx's Flashback(Action Format)

Neyx answered the Holocommunicator of The GenoHaradan first.

GenoHaradan Overseer Lenolys appeared and said: "You have a lot of nerve calling Neyx. After what happened with our forces on Janna."

Neyx answered and asked: "I am sorry regarding that. But I call regarding a business proposal, if you are interested?"

Lenolys replied: "Why should we do business with you?"

Neyx answered and asked: "Because I pay well and I am a loyal client of yours, right?"

Lenolys said: "I guess my subordinate did find you trustworthy enough. What is the job?"

Neyx answered: "Not a single job. I need a special corps with all your best agents at my disposal, for multiple jobs for a period."

Lenolys thought for a moment, asked and said: "How much are you willing to pay? The GenoHaradan aren't cheap."

Neyx answered: "How about One Hundred Billion Credits?"

Lenolys were surprised: "Do you truly possess that much?"

Neyx used the Force and summoned a crate nearby. He opened it up and large amount of credits laid together.

Neyx answered: "I am a smart man. Antagonizing or scamming the GenoHaradan would be a fatal mistake."

Lenolys said: "Fine if you offer that amount, then we will do it. Give us the details."

Neyx nod. He began explaining what exactly he needed.

After some time and both agreed to the terms. Neyx closed the holo. Neyx opened for the communicator to the Chiss Ascendency.

A young Chiss Woman wearing royal garments appeared.

She said and asked: "It has been a long time my savior and friend. Has the time come?"

Neyx bowed and answered: "It is good to see you again your highness. I hope you have been well."

The two immediately began discussing details of Neyx's plan for the Chiss Ascendency.

Odessen Base: Meeting Room

Hylo moved around. She pretended to work on the updating the communication relay, but ultimately disabled everything. Hylo remembered back.

Hylo's Flashback(Action Format)

Months earlier...

Hylo and Jackal embraced each other, as they shared a kiss.

Hylo said: "You are quite the charmer. I thought your interest in me was just a physical ruse?"

Jackal answered: "I would lie if that wasn't the case first. But you know... there is just something about you... I don't know what it is, but I can't just ignore it."

Hylo said and asked: "Just tell me one thing... is this Neyx's brainwashing or is this really how I deeply feel?"

Jackal answered: "Master Neyx only implanted a few suggestions in your mind. He never liked robbing people of their will. Neither Satele nor Acina would have accepted him, if he did that."

Hylo said: "I see... I guess my feelings are real... who would imagine that the woman unlucky with love, would meet her prince charming on the enemy's side?"

Jackal laughed and answered: "You and I both. Love was always a warped concept for me. The lust for older women was a way of living, which I was force upon, until Master Neyx freed me."

The words simply disappeared as passion took control, as they embraced, kissed and continued further.

Later...

Jackal and Hylo kissed one last time before she boarded the shuttle to Janna.

Jackal said sadden: "Good luck Hylo."

Hylo answered: "We will meet again, my love."

Jackal and Hylo both turned away, as their path had been separated for the time being.

Odessen Base: Meeting Room

Hylo were done. The communication relay had been disabled.

Odessen Base: Surveillance Room

Shae said: "I wonder how the situation is?"

An Alliance Soldier suddenly stepped in surprising Shae.

Alliance Soldier asked: "What is going on? Why are all the monitors on Zakuul closed?"

Shae used an excuse: "Maybe some malfunction?"

He checked it and turned on the switch. He saw the Eternal Fleet been destroyed by Black StarFighters.

Alliance Soldier stated: "This is horrible! I have to report this!"

Shae pulled out her blaster and answered: "Sorry. No."

She shot the Alliance soldier. Shae turned off the cameras. She left the room and closed the door after her. Charges had been placed in the room.

Odessen Base: Hallway

Shae remembered back.

Shae's Flashback(Action Format)

Shae was locked up. Neyx came to visit.

Shae asked: "Who are you?! What do you plan to do with me?"

Neyx answered: "Simple. You will turn into my spy."

Shae yelled: "Never!"

Neyx said: "Act defiant all you want. When it happens you can't stop it. Say it now if you have any last wishes."

Neyx waited. He didn't receive a response, so he turned around. But before he could leave.

Shae called: "Wait...! If it is possible... I would like to meet my son's family... they live on Coruscant. I want to inform them of his dead... on Mandalore. So they won't wait for him forever... without knowing. That is all... I ask."

Neyx were silent for a moment.

But he answered: "Very well."

Neyx used the Force and released Shae.

Later...

In an apartment building on Coruscant. Shae comforted a crying woman and a young child.

Shae said: "He was a brave man. He protected many lives. Including mine. I am sorry."

Shae smiled as she stared with sad eyes at her son's wife and her own granddaughter.

They talked about many things and Shae even played a bit with her granddaughter. Neyx stood silently and watched.

The two left shortly afterwards.

Shae said: "Why did you let me see them?"

Neyx answered: "Family is something you should appreciate. You can never see them again once they are gone."

Shae replied: "I got my last wish. Do whatever you want with me."

Neyx said: "Indeed."

Odessen Base: Hallway

Shae left the hallway.

Hutt Space

The Gravestone and many Eternal Fleet Battlecruisers left hyperspace. But to their surprise a Fleet of White Dreadnoughts waited for them.

Gravestone: Bridge

Koth said: "What in the world?! Where did that fleet come from?!"

Theron asked shockingly: "An Ambush?!"

The Outlander asked: "How could they know we were coming?"

Lana thought for a moment and answered: "Damn it! We have been had! This is the third time we have been infiltrated by spies!"

The Outlander asked: "You mean... Hylo and Shae?"

The Gravestone shook receiving minimal damage. The Eternal fleet also suffered.

Arcann said: "Commander. We need to defeat those warships before we can do anything else."

Lana answered: "He is right Commander."

The Outlander yelled: "Everyone! To your positions! Man the cannons and shoot down the enemy's fleet!"

Gravestone: Cannon Room

The Outlander manned the cannons. He shot down countless StarFighters. But they kept increasing.

Hutt Space

Koth fired the omnicannon destroying a few Dreadnoughts. The Gravestone dealt quite the damage. But their own fleet became less and less.

Gravestone: Bridge

The Outlander had returned to the Bridge.

He asked: "How is the situation? Koth? Lana?"

Koth answered: "We are locked in combat! Their starships doesn't seem intent destroy us. More like..."

Lana continued: "Keeping us... distracted...? Damn that Neyx! What is he planning?"

A Hologram of Neyx suddenly appeared across the Galaxy Holonet.

Neyx began speaking: "My Republic and Empire. Chaos have broken out in our worlds. But fear not. Within a short time everything will be over. My Parity Crusaders will come and Liberate your worlds. Reinforced with droids, I hereby begin the first major Operation of The Sovereign Republic Empire. Operation: Crime Fall!"

Various Worlds

Across various worlds one Scepter Six Dreadnought appeared each. They landed each with thousands of droids accompanied by twenty Parity Crusaders. Former Sith and Former Jedi. Upon landing they began automatically slaughtering criminals, terrorists, murderers, slavers and anyone who had committed major crimes. The Former Sith did a majority of the killing, while the former Jedi freed and saved slaves.

Coruscant Orbit:

Republic Flagship: Bridge

Jace watched on a monitor events unfolding on Republic Worlds.

Jace commented: "This is incredible. Pirates, gangs, slavers, terrorists and mercenary soldiers. One by one many falls."

The Sovereign soldiers also gathered around watching in awe and amazements.

Dromund Kaas Orbit:

Imperial Flagship: Bridge

Shana watched as Imperial lives were saved and slaves being liberated. Across many Imperial World she felt deaths of thousands within minutes.

Shana commented: "I am impressed. I would have never imagine former Sith or Jedi could become this powerful. At least not in the past. Neyx is amazing as ever."

The Parity Crusaders targeted specific individuals. They could differentiate between an innocent man and a criminal. The droids were controlled by the Parity Crusaders, as the droids were programmed to follow their lead in battle.

Hutta

Jackal led thousands of droids against the Hutt Cartel accompanied by Palades Hidden Generals. He cut down many of their crime lords, the slavers, bounty hunters and many more. He used the Force thrashing their machines, factories and weapons. A former Jedi Parity Crusader accompanied him. Protecting all the slaves, workers and those who wanted to flee.

The Parity Crusader said and asked: "Master Jackal! Thousands of people are following us! What shall we do?"

Jackal answered: "Order the droids to shield them! You do the same! More and more will come. We will return with them all in one swoop! But for now! Let me massacre those Hutt bastards! HAHA!"

Jackal rushed forward accompanied by the Hidden Generals. Many of the people following looked pretty worried.

The Parity Crusader looked at them and said: "Don't worry he is always like that. I will make sure you can return to your love ones after this."

Many smiled.

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room

Neyx could feel that thousands have already perished. Neyx continued broadcasting his speech.

Neyx continued: "Currently the Parity Crusaders have been launched in Republic and Imperial worlds. Force Users across the Galaxy will feel a small tremor. But nothing to worry about. An estimate of the deaths will probably reach the millions-billions before the campaign is over. So hang in there my peoples. Live through this and acquire the peace you have lost."

Hours Later...

Zakuul: The Spire West

June and Mentz were fighting together. Mentz's mask had been broken. The Scepter Six Droids have successfully manage to invade, and destroy ten skytrooper factories on the west side of the Spire.

June said: "Miss me kid? You sure got send into a crazy place."

Mentz answered: "I would appreciate it if you don't speak to me. I don't like to think back about my mistakes."

June replied: "Are you referring to when you broke my neck?"

Mentz replied and asked: "Yeah... that. How can you even survive that?"

June answered: "I was a secret GenoHaradan experiment. Neyx calls my power *semi-immortality*. Special Nano-cells are in my body capable of regenerating things like broken bones easily."

Ment said: "My master really have weird friends."

June smirked. The two continued marching forward. They faced Walkers, Zakuul Knights, Military Rebels and StarFighters.

June said: "I'll be damned! This is really hell!"

Mentz's was unimpressed. He threw his lightsaber up in the air. He used the Force with both his hands, smashing the StarFighters, Walkers and military vehicles down on the Zakuul Knights, skytroopers and military troops. Mentz grabbed his lightsaber.

Mentz commented: "That was nothing."

A Giant Walker suddenly appeared. June leapt ten meters up in the air. She were equipped with special power gauntlet glove on her right hand. She punched the Walker and a giant electrical surge happen. She jumped back. Within an instant the Walker exploded.

June said: "Not bad huh?"

Mentz hesitated a bit but answered: "Indeed. Let us continue. The west is done for."

A few civilians were caught in the battle. A building crashed down. But Mentz used the Force destroying the crashing building and saving civilians. They looked weirdly at Mentz who simply walked away.

June smiled and sked playfully: "You still following the orders?"

Mentz answered: "Indeed. I don't attack anyone blindly."

The two walked further ahead and continue to North.

Zakuul: The Spire Center

A group of GenoHaradan Agents battled skytroopers as they fled a building. The GenoHaradan Commander used his holocommunicator and contacted Neyx.

Neyx appeared and asked cryptically: "Have you acquire the packages?"

The GenoHaradan Commander answered: "We have acquired them all intact."

Neyx replied: "Excellent. What about the other targets?"

The GenoHaradan Commander answered: "We manage to kill a large part, but we couldn't locate the main target."

Neyx said: "It is fine. As long as you manage to take out many of them. Rendezvous with June and Mentz and get out of there!"

The GenoHaradan Commander nodded. He closed the holo.

He yelled: "Men! Return to the shuttles!"

Hours Later...

Gravestone: Bridge

The Outlander, Lana, Arcann, Senya, Nadia and Jaesa could feel tremors in the Force. They watched the hologram of Neyx continue speaking.

Lana commented: "Urgh! I can feel it. Thousands die within minutes."

Arcann commented: "Maybe it is not so bad? I mean considering the background of those that die."

Everyone became a bit hesitant after Arcann's comment.

Theron said: "We are the Eternal Alliance. The least we can do is give refuge to those, who are fleeing from the battle."

The Outlander nodded and said: "Koth set all power to the shields!"

But before they could continued their daring plan. Something changed.

Neyx's words continued: "To the Eternal Alliance. If you intend on interfere with my cleansing, then whatever lives lost in the mix will be on your hands. Your focus should be somewhere else. Isn't that right Outlander?"

Neyx stared at the Outlander through the holo.

The Outlander asked: "How is it possible? Can he see us?"

Theron asked: "Where does he mean somewhere else?"

Arcann thought for a moment and then said and asked: "Zakuul! How is the situation on Zakuul?"

Lana said: "We need to contact Odessen!"

Koth attempted to contact them. But nothing.

Senya asked "Could it be because of the spies?"

Koth said and asked: "Well Commander... what should we do?"

Senya answered: "As the Eternal Alliance I feel our responsibility is with Zakuul."

Theron said: "We did promise to protect them."

The Outlander decided: Fly to Zakuul(Light)/Ignore the others and proceed(Dark)

The Outlander said: "I hate to do it. But we have to leave Neyx alone for now. Let us return to Zakuul!"

Everyone nodded.

Tora said: "Koth get us out of here."

Koth answered: "On it."

He turn on the shields, turned round and warped into hyperspace.

Zakuul: The Spire North

People were running, bodies, broken droids, destroyed Walkers and flames had spread across the Spire's factories.

June commented: "They put up a tough fight. I wonder how they others are doing?"

Mentz replied: "I can sense them. None have fallen in these last hours. I am more curious of those GenoHaradan guys master Neyx hired."

June said: "Neyx is clever and cunning. We should just have faith and continue to south. Destroying every facility would be ideal, but we were only ordered to cripple them."

Mentz replied: "I won't go against Neyx's words again. But until the Eternal Alliance arrive, we should simply continue."

June nodded. The two led the surviving Sovereign Troops and Scepter Six droids forward.

June looked around a few children she had saved began following her.

June asked awkwardly: "Mentz? Those children from the Orphanage are following me!"

Mentz said: "Remember Neyx orders protect them. No civilian blood shall be on our hands."

June sighed as a few Sovereign Soldiers began laughing at bit.

June commented: "I don't possess the Force. It is going to be pretty inconvenient."

They both continue forward.

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room

Neyx stood looked at the time.

He commented: "Looks like many hours have passed and millions of criminals have fallen. Once the Republic and Empire are free from their oppressors, we will celebrate! Survive my peoples! The time is almost upon us!"

Various Worlds

Multiple Fleets across many worlds appeared.

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room

Neyx held a holocommunicator tagged *Tion Hegemony" in his right hand. It was open.

Neyx asked: "Just to be clear here. What are your intentions King Larus Tion?"

The King of Tion went down on his knees answered and asked: "Please forgive our intriguing in your fascinating war, Leader Neyx. We would like to offer you our assistance if possible?"

Neyx answered calmly: "Split into two teams. The ones who wants revenge against the Hutt Cartel for past incidents, travel to Hutta and aid my Elite Warrior Jackal and his Troops. The ones who want to support the people across Republic and Imperial Worlds. Send warships to temporarily house civilians, who are currently protected by a small group of my Crusaders."

Larus replied: "As you wish Leader Neyx."

Neyx closed the holo and opened a channel to all his forces and said: "The Tion Hegemony wish to assist us. Hand over the protection of civilians to their forces. Use the Force and guide their StarFighters targets."

All answered: "Understood Leader Neyx."

Various Worlds

The Tion Hegemony's assistance quickly accelerated taking down many groups. Exchange, Hutt Cartel, Shadow Syndicate, bounty hunter groups and mercenary forces were hit heavily. Gang headquarters were bombed by StarFighters or slain by Parity Crusaders. Civilians boarded Tion vessels who left for orbit.

Odessen Base: Meeting Room

Shae and Hylo stood and watched the holo of Neyx, together with the rest of the Eternal Alliance.

Neyx spoke: "The Battle is intensifying. Looks like an old grudge from the Xim Wars have been ignited. Anyway since I have the time, I will share some info of myself. The name Neyx is not my real name. Due to quite a lot of complications, my face and name will be revealed by the end of the war. The reason I am so powerful is simple. I possess the power and technology of a *Dark One* at my disposal. Many of you out there are probably wondering what that is, right?"

Gravestone: Bridge

Everyone listened closely to Neyx's speech.

Neyx continued: "Many of you have heard of ancient beings, who lived in the galaxy millennium before the creation of the Republic, and long before the Empire. Among them are advanced civilizations, whose technology far outclasses our own. Rakata, Kwa and Gree are famous examples. But those races are servant races to another group of ancient beings, who existence is said to be as old as time itself. *The Celestials*."

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room

Satele and Acina stopped their meditation and went out to hear Neyx's speech directly.

Neyx continued: "The Dark One's power which I possess, are the same as Celestials who have simply fallen to the Darkside. The ones knowledgable of the Force will understand. I lost my family to war, and as many of you I view Zakuul as an enemy. Normally revenge is something which would drive me. But I saw a higher calling. The Republic and Empire. Before becoming it's new leader I fought in wars, invasions and skirmishes in the unknown regions, acquiring everything I could wish for. But I saw a vision. Something I could not ignore. The Sith Empire and Republic would declare war against the Eternal Alliance and fail. That was unavoidable. As long as the Eternal Fleet exist people will continue living in fear, even if the intentions of the users are good. I saw billions die, worlds burning and corpses lie everywhere. I want to protect all of you and give you the chance to continue your lives. I won't let anyone oppress us anymore. My peoples I intend to come and see for myself how your daily lives are. When this is over I promise you stability and peace in both The Republic and Empire. I'll see you once the cleanse... is over."

Neyx cut the broadcast. He notice Acina and Satele standing nearby.

Satele asked: "Are you okay leader Neyx?"

Neyx answered and asked: "Yeah... talking to the whole Galaxy just puts some pressure on my mind. How did it sound?"

Acina answered: "It sounds quite interesting. I have never heard of those *Dark Ones* before."

Neyx replied: "Hehe. Sometimes truth can confuse and sound weirder than myths."

Satele asked: "You seem like you have prepared for everything?"

Neyx answered: "Not exactly. I am no god. I can never make a perfect and flawless plan. I am just open for suggestions and changes. Quick at adapting in different situations."

Acina asked: "So you didn't expect the Tion Hegemony to arrive in the middle of our invasions?"

Neyx answered: "I could calculate that, so in this case I was prepared."

Satele said: "I am curious to witness what kind of future we will have under you."

Acina smiled and added: "Me too, I can't wait to see."

Neyx laughed a bit with amusement.

Hutta

Jackal continued his onslaught making bounty hunters fall dead on his path, together with many Hutts who underestimated him. The Hidden Generals continued forward with Jackal. His droids battalions had been reduced, and his Parity Crusader helped refugees and civilians aboard the Tionese Warships. Tionese soldiers numbering the thousands replaced a majority of the droids.

Jackal yelled: "Men continue... ONWARD!"

All the Tionese Soldiers cheered, as they accompanied Jackal on his path of destruction and death.

Zakuul: The Spire South

Mentz and June received a holocall each. They both took out their communicators.

Neyx appeared in the holo and said: "The Eternal Alliance is on their way. If you have met the objective, then retreat."

June answered: "Right away leader Neyx."

Mentz answered calmly: "Yes... master Neyx."

Mentz and June had manage to destroy over eighty-five percent of the spires overall technology, resources and army. Mentz suddenly sensed something in the distance.

June asked: "What is wrong? You look distracted?"

Mentz answered: "The Eternal Alliance will appear shortly. Rendezvous with the GenoHaradan and move out!"

June asked: "What about those civilians?"

June and Mentz looked around. There were hundreds of people behind them.

Mentz answered: "Just take them with you. Master Neyx can probably find something for them to do later."

June asked: "What about you?"

Mentz answered: "Please go without me. Take all our forces and leave! I will stay and delay them."

June asked: "Are you certain about this? Neyx ordered the both of us to leave. Are you really willing to defy his orders?"

Mentz answered: "I... want to end my fight with the Outlander. I want to know what Neyx's sees in him."

June didn't answer. She walked over to Mentz. She lifted her right hand and punched him in the face surprising him.

Mentz yelled and felt down: "Argh!"

June lifted him up and dragged him to the shuttle. The Civilians automatically followed silently.

Ten to Twenty Shuttles commandeered by the GenoHaradan appeared and parked nearby.

A GenoHaradan Agent said: "We are done here! Neyx have given the word!"

June answered: "Coming! You guys board those shuttles!"

Civilians replied: "Right..!"

June and Mentz's boarded as the shuttles took off. The majority of civilians boarded the others.

GenoHaradan Shuttle: Interior

Mentz asked angrly: "What are you doing?!"

June answered: "Neyx are gonna punish me later, if I let you act out of line!"

Mentz hesitated to retort. But he got a headache.

Mentz cried: "Argh!"

His eyes began glowing.

A GenoHaradan Agent asked: "What is up with him?"

June answered: "He is getting vision!"

Another Agent asked: "Vision?"

June answered: "A Force User thing, said to be quite rare."

The Agents all nodded.

A civilian child asked: "Like the Scions?"

June answered: "Like the Scions."

Vision

Mentz saw The Gravestone appear above the GenoHaradan's shuttles, accompanied by two Eternal Fleet Battlecruisers, and they began firing destroying all the shuttles. The vision skipped to Neyx destroying his throne in frustration.

Neyx yelled: "Damn it! My backup plan is ruined! This will change everything! A Light and Darkness might not be enough!"

Satele and Acina looked worried.

Neyx became distressed and commented: "Mentz... June... I am sorry!"

GenoHaradan Shuttle: Interior

Mentz's vision ended. He jumped up.

Mentz said: "Damn it! It will be close!"

June asked curiously: What did you see?"

Mentz answered: "We will end up getting shot down by the Gravestone!"

Everyone else reacted: "What?!"

Mentz opened the door, while they were in mid-air.

June asked: "What do you intend to do?"

Mentz answered: "I won't let any of us die! GenoHaradan Agents! When I give the signal, warp to hyperspace!"

GenoHaradan Commander said: "Alright. We will you trust General Mentz."

GenoHaradan Shuttle: Roof

Mentz used the Force to keep himself steady, while standing on the roof of the shuttle. Mentz focused all his Force energy into his hands.

Gravestone: Bridge

The Outlander and Alliance arrived within Zakuul's gravity field. They notice the GenoHaradan shuttles.

Koth yelled: "The enemy troops are right in front of us!"

Lana said: "Don't let them leave! Fire!"

GenoHaradan Shuttle: Roof

But Mentz were prepared. He used Force Crush on the two Eternal Fleet Battlecruisers blowing them up. The debris and impact from the exploding battlecruisers hit the Gravestone. Mentz used the Force to grab the Gravestone and seal it's movements.

Mentz jumped high up and yelled: "GenoHaradan! While they are distracted! Warp now!"

June stared at the Commander and nodded.

The GenoHaradan Commander ordered: "Everyone! Jump to hyperspace now!"

The GenoHaradan shuttles warped into hyperspace disappearing.

Gravestone: Bridge

Everyone cried: "Argh!"

The Gravestone shook violently. Many of the weapons systems had been damaged. Koth fell off his pilot seat, hitting his head and passed out. Lana, Theron and the crew onboard fell down too and barely manage to stand.

Tora yelled: "Koth!"

She rushed to his side.

Theron said and asked: "Damn it! What shall we do?!"

Senya replied: "We need to get away from the impact!"

Arcann said: "The Gravestone won't last like this."

The Outlander manage to stand up. He forced his way toward the pilot seat.

The Outlander said: "I see the enemy. It is Mentz! He is using Force Grip on the Gravestone!"

Lana yelled: "Commander the front cannon still works! Shoot him while his defenses are down!"

Theron replied: "The aiming system have been damaged! It won't do us any good! Activate the shields! We can minimize damage!"

Nadia said: "We don't have much time. Please make a decision Commander."

Jaesa said: "Trust your feelings."

The Outlander felt pressured. An opportunity to deal high damage to an enemy, or lower the risk of casualty among his allies.

Vaylin appeared and said: "I think you should use the cannon. You might not kill him, but damaging him is possible. Our fight on the ground would be less troublesome."

The Outlander decided: Activate the shields(Light)/Activate the minicannons(Dark)

The Outlander said: "I will protect my friends! Activate the shields."

The Outlander yelled: "Everyone brace for impact!"

Everyone found something to hold onto. Vaylin disappeared. The Outlander pushed on a few buttons activating the shields.

Zakuul Airspace

Mentz gathered a lot of his strength, as he lifted the Gravestone a bit up and hurled it toward the ground. Mentz began falling. He were at least a few miles up in the air. he closed his eyes and began meditating. He gathered his Force energy and let it surround him, as he fell toward the ground.

Zakuul: The Spire

The Gravestone crashed down.

Gravestone: Bridge

The Outlander rise. They others had passed out. The Outlander checked everyone's pulses. They were all alive.

The Outlander sighed in relief and said: "Thank goodness. Looks like I made the right choice."

The Outlander used the Force to levitate them carefully, as he left the bridge.

Zakuul: The Spire

The door opened. The Outlander climbed out. He slowly levitated they others and put them down. An explosion of golden light happened nearby. The Outlander looked around. He saw Zakuul burn.

The Outlander commented: "This is horrible. Even if the ones who died weren't simply civilians this is too much."

The Outlander stared at the injured people, the destroyed buildings, the raging flames and corpses on the streets.

Odessen Base: Docking Bay

Hylo and Shae looked at the Tomb Raider.

Hylo asked: "Should we do this? Although conditioned, I don't like it."

Shae answered: "We both were granted our wishes. I met my family and you've got yourself a new lover."

Hylo looked a bit depressed and said: "I do feel bad regarding Ty. But there is just something about..."

Shae interrupted and said: "Yeah yeah I know. You have already told me. We should just get this over with."

Hylo took out a detonator.

She stared at the Tomb Raider and said: "The Eternal Alliance's second hope. If lost, we will be quite crippled."

Shae and Hylo remembered back.

Hylo and Shae's Flashback(Image Format)

Hylo and Shae stood and spoke to Neyx in the hangar.

Hylo asked: "You have planted a bomb in the core of The Tomb Raider?"

Shae also asked: "You want us to blow up the frigate?"

Neyx answered: "Exactly. Doing this would cripple the Alliance power. One of the reasons I let them take it back in the first place."

Hylo asked: "Why not keep the Tomb Raider and use it against the fleet?"

Neyx answered: "I need to limit the Alliance's movements, in order to prepare for every possible event to come. I need to have them pinned down on Odessen."

Shae said: "I understand your reasoning. If you possessed the frigate, the Alliance would likely plan something crazy, dealing some damage to your forces in an attempt to reclaim their weapon."

Neyx answered: "Indeed. If you want to limit the number of casualties, then make up some excuse for an evacuation. How you handle this is up to you."

Shae and Hylo bowed and said: "Understood leader Neyx."

Odessen Base: Docking Bay

Shae and Hylo continue staring at the Tomb Raider. They both decided.

Hylo said: "We should wait for Neyx's command. Detonating it now will cripple the Eternal Alliance. But it would mean our ultimate betrayal."

Shae answered: "I guess there is no rush."

Juvard appeared behind them and asked: "It is still marvelous isn't it?"

Shae answered calmly: "Indeed. Better take good care of it."

Hylo also commented: "It would be horrible if something unexpected happened, like last time."

Juvard answered: "I agree. I will prep it up and make it stronger than before."

Zakuul: The Spire

The Outlander heard footsteps coming from behind. He turned and saw Mentz standing five meters away.

Mentz draw his lightsaber and said: "Outlander! Let us finish our duel!"

The Outlander answered: "You have caused so much death and destruction, and for what?"

Mentz said and asked: "Everything is for Master Neyx. We didn't kill any civilians. You can't use that as an argument against us. Besides why do you even care so much for Zakuul anyway?"

The Outlander answered: "Zakuul also suffered during the war."

Mentz commented annoyed: "Oh Please! Do you take me for fool?! You don't have any idea what kind of campaign the Zakuul Knights led. What happened here is simply revenge. No civilians and no unnecessary casualties."

The Outlander had listened and decided: Attempt peaceful talk(Light)/Provoke him(Dark)

The Outlander said: "We don't have to fight. Why are you so eager anyway? You keep saying it is for Neyx. But it is only for yourself, right?"

Mentz answered: "It doesn't matter. Our conversation ends now!"

The Outlander draw his lightsaber. He and Mentz ran toward each other. Their weapons clashed. The Outlander unleashed his aura and hit Mentz's lightsabers. Mentz power had depleted severely in the assault on Zakuul, and the deaths of thousands of enemy troops. But something drove Mentz. His Force power spiked. He made a back-step and threw his red lightsaber toward the Outlander, who attempted to block it. Mentz increased it's rotation using the Force. Pinning the Outlander's movements. Mentz ran forward and hit his other lightsaber. The rotating lightsaber were destroyed, resulting in an explosion of light, sending the Outlander flying back and destroying his lightsaber.

Vaylin appeared and yelled: "Do something you fool!"

The Outlander had been disarmed. Mentz saw the chance and ran forward. He attempted to cut the Outlander, who blocked his attack by concentrating all his Force energy into his hands.

Mentz were surprised and commented: "Impressive! But you can't continue this forever!"

The Outlander felt like his hands were burning and cried: "Arggghh!"

Vaylin asked and said intensely: "What will you do? I don't intend to die. Use my power! Use the darkness! He have been weakened!"

The Outlander struggled. He ultimately decided: No!(Light)/Fine!(Dark)

The Outlander yelled: "I don't need it! The Force will be my ally!"

Vaylin said: "Stubborn fool!"

Vaylin disappeared. The Outlander's aura began spiking. He concentrated as he began recalling something from his past.

The Outlander's Flashback(Image Format)

The young Outlander were surrounded by many masters. He simply looked up at them with curiosity.

One of the masters went over to him and said: "The Force is strong with you young initiate. I have seen... you will face many trials in your life. The choices you make will influence and shape the galaxy."

Another master appeared and spoke: "Many will follow you. You will be put on two different paths. A Light and Darkness. Whatever you choose will greatly affect everything."

A third master appeared and asked: "What path do you choose child?"

The young Outlander decided: Light/Darkness

The young Outlander answered: "Light"

A fourth master appeared and said: "You might not understand now young initiate. But one day you will. Follow the path and never diverge. Protect the ones you can and embrace life as it comes."

The young Outlander answered: "Yes master."

Zakuul: The Spire

The Outlander concentrated his Force energy on Mentz's lightsaber hilt and turned it off, surprising Mentz.

Mentz reacted: "What?!"

The Outlander punched Mentz stomach temporarily disable him. He spin and kicked Mentz in the face sending him flying back. The Outlander breathe heavily, as his aura had been dispersed.

The Outlander said: "He is strong! Even after fighting this war."

The Outlander used Force Pull and took a fallen Zakuul Knight's lightsaber. Mentz regained his composure. Mentz concentrated his Force power on his lightsaber. The light intensified and became sharper and ferocious. The Outlander activated his aura and subconsciously did a similar feat. The two ran toward each other as their weapons clashed. Another explosion of light happened. Both their lightsabers exploded during impact and sending them flying back.

Mentz said: "Enough! I will end this now!"

Mentz took a step forward, but disappeared. Mentz appeared behind the Outlander kicking him in the back sending him back. The Outlander turned, but Mentz appeared behind him again, as the Outlander turned. He were blasted with golden Force Lightning.

The Outlander screamed in pain: "Arghh!"

The Outlander fell to his knees. His body had been quite roasted. Mentz used Force Pull and acquired another lightsaber.

He activated it, pointing it at the Outlander's face and said: "It is over."

The Outlander looked to the ground. He used Force Push on the ground, creating a tremor forcing Mentz to jump. The Outlander reacted quickly, rise and kicked Mentz in the stomach sending him back. Mentz jumped high up in air and used the Force, creating multiple Swords of light, throwing them at the Outlander. The Outlander closed his eyes, using the Force. He absorbed a few of the Swords of light. But a few missed him, hit the ground blowed up and blasted the Outlander back, causing some average burns. As the Outlander rebounded Mentz disappeared. He reappeared behind him with his lightsaber lifted.

Mentz yelled: "Die! Outlander!"

The Outlander still had his eyes closed. Gathered all of his remaining Force, creating a Sword of light from the energy absorbed. He made a quick movement, grabbed his Sword of light with both hands and using backhand style. He pierced his Sword of light backward, accidentally giving himself a minor flesh wound around the left side of his body, right above the hip. The Outlander's attack succeeded, managing to pierce Mentz's through the stomach. He fell to his knees and dropped his lightsaber.

Mentz cried in pain: "Argh!"

The Outlander opened his eyes and turned around. The Alliance members began waking up. Arcann, Senya, Lana, Theron, Jaesa and Nadia stepped forward. Tora and Koth stayed back.

Lana asked: "Commander? What happened?"

The Outlander answered tiredly: "A tough fight I nearly lost."

They all noticed Mentz. He breathed heavily.

Mentz said: "You won! End it!"

The Outlander answered: "I only won because you were tired. Had it been a fair fight I would have lost."

Mentz said annoyed: "Spare me! The result is still the same! I killed your friend! You hate me don't you?!"

The Outlander answered: "She meant a lot to the Alliance, both as power and privately."

Mentz smirked and said: "She was weak. Even one of our Non-Force Users could have done it!"

The Outlander could feel rage in his body, but he calmed himself.

Senya said: "The ones we lost deserve Justice!"

Theron replied: "He is top among Neyx's members! We could gain much information capturing him alive!"

Lana asked and said: "Are you insane?! He is too powerful and Neyx probably have trained him not to talk under any circumstances!"

Arcann commented: "Killing him might bring Neyx's anger upon us."

Jaesa and Nadia looked at the Outlander.

Jaesa asked: "What do you want to do Commander?"

Nadia said: "We are with you, no matter what you choose."

The Outlander looked at rest, who all also gave the ok. The Outlander decided: Take Mentz Prisoner(Light)/Kill Mentz(Dark)

The Outlander said: "You have lost. We will take you prisoner and learn Neyx's secrets."

Mentz reacted violently and yelled: "Never! I won't be captured!"

Mentz used the last ounce of his strength and Force Choke all except the Outlander. The Outlander were shocked.

Vaylin appeared and said: "You can't afford to spare this one. Do it! Strike him down! Or your friends will die!"

They all were at their limits and weakened.

Mentz said: "Hahah! The core members! You will all die!"

The Outlander reacted: Protect his allies(Light)/Strike ferociously(Dark)

The Outlander said: "I am sorry."

The Outlander used Force Pull, grabbed the lightsaber on the ground and stabbed Mentz through his heart killing him instantly. His power vanished, freeing all the Outlander's allies. Mentz's death were felt across the Galaxy by his allies and his friends.

Various Worlds

A Parity Crusader said: "General!"

Another Parity Crusader asked: "General...?"

Parity Crusader reacted: "No...!"

The Parity Crusaders made a Battle Cry. Their Force energy spiked, as they increased their ferocity on the enemy.

Imperial Flagship: Bridge

Shana fell to the ground clutching her chest.

Shana cried: "Argh! Mentz! You... fool!"

Republic Flagship: Bridge

Mentz's life signature had disappeared from the ship's radar.

Jace closed his eyes for a moment and said: "I am sorry. Goodbye General."

Korriban: Ancient Sith Temple

A hooded woman clutched her chest.

She said: "Kid..."

Hutta

Jackal felt Mentz's death.

He said with annoyance and regret: "You fool! Neyx still needed you! You bastard!"

Jackal's Force spiked and he swung his lightsabers faster and more powerful than before.

Jackal yelled: "I will get rid of all of you maggots! Haaaah!"

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Clock Room

Inside a room belonging to Neyx. A clock suddenly shattered.

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room

Acina and Satele could feel a tight pain around their chests.

Acina cried: "Argh! It hurts! What happened?"

Satele said: "I recognize this feeling! Someone from our ranks died!"

Neyx could also feel the pain and cried: "Agh!"

Neyx went down on his knees. He breathe a bit and rise.

He clenched his fists and said: "Mentz you fool...! I thought I told you to choose you battles wisely! Damn!"

Acina and Satele looked at Neyx. They sensed pain and suffering. Neyx pulled out a holocommunicator.

Zakuul: The Spire

The Outlander heard something ringing from Mentz body. It was a holo. He stared at they others who nodded. He answered it and Neyx appeared.

Neyx asked: "Since you are answering I presume Mentz is dead?"

The Outlander answered: "That is correct. He was strong. If he wasn't weakened I might not have won."

Neyx were silent for a moment and said: "I still have your Alliance in my grasp. I just want to know one thing..."

The Outlander asked: "What is it?"

Neyx answered and asked: " I felt Mentz's death through the Force. Did you enjoy killing him?"

The Outlander decided: No(Light)/Yes(Dark)

The Outlander answered: "I took no pleasure from his death. I wanted him to surrender, but he targeted my friends instead. So I... made my choice."

Neyx said calmly: "I see. In this case I have also made mine."

Neyx closed the holo.

Lana asked: "What did he mean by that?"

Theron replied: "He might refer to Hylo and Shae!"

The Outlander said: "We need to repair the Gravestone."

But as the Outlander took a step forward his eyes began glowing white.

Theron asked: "Is this...?"

Arcann said: "A vision."

Jaesa commented: "Quite fascinating. I wonder what the Commander sees?"

Vision

The Outlander stood in front of the Eternal Throne. His base was destroyed, his allies all lied dead. He was stabbed through the chest with a golden Lightsaber and a complete Black one. He fell to his knees. The Outlander couldn't see the face of his attackers. Both were wearing cloaks. One black and one white. The two was engulfed in bright light and a darkness.

The Outlander commented while fixing his gaze on the lightsabers: "A Light... and a Darkness..."

The Lightsabers' colors were reflected into his eyes as the vision ended.

Zakuul: The Spire

Lana asked the Outlander worried: "What did you see Commander."

Koth asked: "Are you okay?"

The Outlander was pale as a ghost. Before he answered.

Odessen Base: Woods

Hylo and Shae open a holo and spoke with Neyx.

Neyx asked: "Has everything been prepared?"

Shae answered: "Yes leader Neyx. We have the detonator and no one have suspected anything."

Hylo said: "Without the Commander, the rest of the Alliance seems to distracted with their own projects."

Shae asked: "Shall we blow up the Tomb Raider now?"

Neyx answered: "I sense hesitation from you both. If you lack the resolve, then reveal yourself to the Outlander. His choice will automatically force your hand."

Hylo replied: "Understood sir. Shall we still use the camera?"

Neyx said: "Indeed. The whole Galaxy will watch the Outlander's decision. It is the perfect way, to turn every Republic and Imperial Citizens against the Eternal Alliance."

Hylo answered: "Understood."

Neyx said: "Begin the confusion destroy Odessen's eyes."

Shae answered: "As you wish."

Both Shae and Hylo bowed. They began walking back.

Odessen Base: Meeting Room

Hylo walked a bit away. Shae pushed on a button, blowing up the surveillance room, shaking the base and resulting in a few casualties.

Bey'wan appeared and said: "Investigate that explosion immediately!"

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Droid Prison

T7 were locked up. He were still activated. Neyx stood in front of him.

Neyx asked: "So... who are you?"

T7 answered: "T7 Loyal to Alliance / T7 will not reveal info."

Neyx said: "I see... you are quite the loyal little droid. To be honest I have no idea what I should use you for."

T7 asked: "Why not let T7 leave?"

Neyx answered: "You have seen this place. You won't leave. Maybe I can give you to June?"

T7 said: "The Outlander will come and rescue T7!"

Neyx asked: "Why do you believe that?"

T7 answered: "T7 + Outlander = Close friends / T7 + Outlander fought together in last war before Eternal Empire."

Neyx asked wary: "Do you know Kira Carsen?"

T7 answered: "Yes. T7 + Kira = Comrades and close friends."

Neyx said: "Tell me more."

The two end up initiating a conversation.

Few days later...

Odessen Base: Meeting Room

Hylo and Shae knelt down with their hands over their head. The Outlander stood in front of them.

He asked: "Why did you do it? Is this part of Neyx's mind control?"

Hylo answered: "Yes and no. We are controlled partially, in that we have been given missions. How we execute them is up to us."

Theron asked: "So when you blew up our surveillance room, disabled our communication relay and bugged or meeting room. That was all you?"

Shae answered: "It was unfortunately. Neyx's got us and this is how it ended up. We regret, but the past can't be changed."

Senya said: "Mind control or not we can't simply let them get away with this."

Juvard commented: "The Alliance would degrade further, if we dismissed this issue."

Theron said: "I am kinda split. I don't feel right with an execution."

Lana said: "We should torture them for more info."

Arcann said: "It is up to you Outlander. What should their punishment be?"

The Outlander looked at them and decided: Imprisonment(Light)/Torture(Dark)/Death(Dark)

The Outlander said: "You will be imprisoned indefinitely for now. Our Alliance isn't built to execute prisoners or our allies. Take them away."

Senya, Arcann and Koth escorted them away.

Hylo stopped for a moment and asked: "Commander?"

The Outlander signaled the others to stop and replied: "What is it?"

Hylo threw a hidden detonator, which the Outlander grabbed.

Hylo answered: "There is a hidden bomb in the Tomb Raider. You might want to disarm it."

The Outlander asked: "Why didn't you push the button?"

Hylo answered: "Because you made the right choice."

The Outlander nodded with a regret on his face.

He said: "I am sorry I couldn't prevent this from happening."

Hylo gave a final smile before being escorted away.

Tora asked: "Shall we begin the funerals?"

The Outlander said: "Until we become stronger... then it is the only thing we can do."

Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's War Room

Unbeknownst to The Outlander and his other allies. Everything which had happened on Odessen were send live across the Galaxy. Neyx closed the holo and the connection to the camera broke off.

Neyx said and asked: "Looks like our plan regarding Odessen have failed. How is the situation regarding our cleansing?"

Satele answered: "It is going well. The Parity Crusaders and droids are still alive."

Acina said: "Hutta have suffered millions of casualties and the same with the other worlds."

Neyx replied: "This is a risky campaign. But getting the people back on our side is crucial for the future."

Acina said: "Indeed, after the Eternal Empire's bombing, a lot of people began losing faith in me."

Satele studied the device they were looking into and commented: "This is quite an object. A fountain capable of overseeing events happening across the Galaxy."

Neyx replied: "Indeed the artifact is said to have been used by the celestials. They oversaw their warriors in battle using these."

Acina asked curiously: "Where did you get this?"

Neyx answered and asked: "I found it on one of my travels into the Unknown Regions. Sith and Jedi also possess artifacts right?"

Acina said: "Indeed but the artifacts are often unpredictable or too dangerous."

Satele said: "Your origin is quite fascinating. I hope you will tell us more about yourself later."

Neyx answered: "Perhaps. Although most of it will sound quite unrealistic."

Acina said and asked: "We will believe you. After everything you have shown us, how can we not?"

Satele said: "Acina is right. If you want to talk about something then we are all ears. We are your High Ministers after all."

Neyx answered: "Thank you. I appreciate it."

Weeks Later...

Odessen Base: Meeting Room

Theron looked at the Holonews. It displayed videos of Neyx standing on a vehicle and waving to the people of Coruscant and Dromund Kaas who hailed him as their hero. Next to him were Satele and Acina. The Parity Crusaders followed right behind. Jackal and June were also quite active. Jace and Shana stood on the sideline with their arms crossed.

Theron said and sarcastically remarked: "Neyx have been crowned a hero. This is just getting better and better."

Lana commented: "I know what you mean. It feels like our support keeps dwindling."

Theron and Lana sighed both.

Theron asked and suggested: "So... wanna take a break? Maybe I can give you a massage?"

Lana said: "Not now. I need to check the rest of data."

Theron said: "Alright. Don't stay up too late. I will get lonely sleeping by myself."

Lana smiled a bit flirting.

Theron turned. Lana suddenly asked: "Theron?"

Theron answered and asked: "Yes? What is it?"

Lana asked worried: "Do you think that vision is what awaits us?"

Theron returned. He walked up to Lana and grabbed her shoulders.

Theron said seriously: "I won't let that happen. No matter what. We will live through this."

Lana responded: "Theron..."

The two stared into each others eyes before they kissed.

The Outlander stood in the shadows. He smiled and left.

Unknown Regions: Remote Space

An Alliance supply ship docked with an unknown warship.

Unknown Flagship: Docking Bay

The Starship was covered in total darkness. Everything was off. The woman from the Alliance transported a cryogenic tank capsule.

She asked: "Hello? Hell? Is somebody there?"

In front of her she heard woman voice asking: "Is the package intact?"

She answered nervously: "Yes not a single scratch. It was easy. But luckily commotion were created inside the base."

She heard footsteps approaching. Multiple silhouettes were standing in the darkness.

A man said: "That is good. In that case."

The man threw a briefcase toward the Alliance woman. She grabbed it and open it up, revealing a large amounts of credits.

She said and asked: "This is amazing! Thank you! But who are you people? What is this place?"

The footsteps came closer and The Alliance woman stepped a bit back.

The woman stepped back. Eight golden lightsabers were ignited, revealing the helmets and armor Golden Horizon Guards.

The man said: "We are... The Nexus... Knights! This is our flagship... The... Hailing Judgment!"

The man stood in front of the Alliance woman who were shocked. The other seven members shined their lightsaber at the cryogenic capsule revealing Vaylin's body with a lightsaber wound inflicted. The body had ben preserved well.

Unknown Regions: Remote Space

An Armada using cloaking device revealed itself. A Fleet numbering hundreds of dreadnought warships, battlecruisers and starfighters appeared. The Flagship looking beaten down and old shed it's false appearence, revealing a Golden Starship in a similar size to Neyx's Chaos Bringer. The starship shined in a golden light illuminating the whole area.

End
