Chapter 9: The Battle of Scepter Six
Unknown Regions(Deep Space)
Saen's Flagship: Platform
Saen stood outside. The Black Force shielded him from the vacuum of Space.
Saen lifted his Darkstaff. Powerful Black Force Energy engulfed a majority of the Eternal Fleet. Saen used meditation and disassembled the warships and began merging them together. He build and constructed a whole new warship.
Saen proclaim: "Prepare yourself Outlander. Soon... you will face a power you can't comprehend!"
Saen's eyes glowed. His manic laughter echoed through the whole area.
Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room
Satele and Acina kneeled before Neyx.
Satele reported: "We have completed our training. We both individual and together defeated the Enigma-Class Simulator."
Neyx replied: "Excellent. I can feel the strength growing within you."
Acina asked: "Have anything happened while we trained?"
Neyx answered: "Looks like the Alliance have gained more allies. Specifically the Scions among many other Force-seers. Also it looks like the Overseer of Iokath survived the planet's destruction, and are now aiding the Alliance upgrading their fleet and their flagships."
Satele asked curiously: "What shall we do about it Leader Neyx?"
Neyx answered: "Captain Elara and Malavai are currently overseeing the creation of the massive super weapon. It will be used against the Alliance fleet."
Acina asked: "What about Galtlitia? Will she be in charge of the Fleet?"
Neyx answered: "T7 are currently amusing her. But afterwards..."
Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Garden
Galtlitia held onto T7.
She said serious: "You are worthy of my infatuation. We shall connect."
T7 answered: "Galtlitia = Organic / T7 = Machine. T7 + Galtlitia = Not compatible."
Galtlitia let go. She created small static from her fingertips. She touch T7 zapping him a bit.
T7 were surprised: "T7 Feels weird / What did Galtlitia do?"
He wasn't damaged. But felt his processor changing. His circuits also became loose.
Galtlitia smiled and answered: "I was conceived by nanodroids from an human fetus. So I am half-organic. So... I don't see a problem."
Galtlitia hugged T7 again. Steam were coming off his circuit. He became a bit heated.
Galtlitia kept zapping T7. He activated his arms and touched her hips.
T7 said: T7 + Galtlitia = Can't resist."
Galtlitia answered amused: "How bold. But what I would expect from a Droid surviving countless battles."
Roal stood nearby. He sighed as he watched the weird scene before him.
Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room
Neyx lifted his right hand and the two rise.
Satele commented and asked: "The Jedi always condemn the idea of using such powerful technology. Is it really wise to use such a weapon?"
Acina listened closely.
Neyx answered: "I don't intend to destroy any worlds with the super weapon. But we need a lot of firepower to take down an Eternal Fleet stronger than ever."
Acina asked: "What happens once we have destroyed the Eternal Fleet?"
Neyx answered: "Without the Eternal Fleet the Republic and Empire's troops alone is enough to overrun Zakuul and Odessen. The Alliance were fundamentally built up of various powerful individuals. But most of them are from Republic and Imperial Forces."
Satele asked: "What is our roles in the war?"
As Satele asked, Jace and Shana returned. Shana and Jace both bowed.
Neyx rise and greeted them: "Welcome back Supreme Commanders."
Shana reported: "We have succeed in defeating all the renegades you mentioned in your visions. This will prevent future uprisings and the Eternal Alliance gaining foothold against us in the future."
Jace commented: "It was incredible. So many of them were in the middle of terror plots and gather recruits. We have prevented massive catastrophes and threats against the Sovereign Republic Empire.
Neyx replied: "Good job. If we weren't in the middle of a soon three-way war. Then I would have granted you both paid vacations."
Shana smiled and said: "We can talk about that after the war Leader Neyx."
Jace commented: "It would be nice. But better focus on the moment Leader Neyx."
Neyx said: "Alright. I will assign your roles. Acina you will remain here with me in the palace. Satele you and Jace will board one *Timeless Monrch* after you have prepared yourselves mentally. Shana you will board a flagship. But remain vigilant of any incoming threat. But in case prepare yourself too."
Acina answered: "Understood."
She went over and sat in her throne.
Satele asked wondering: "What shall we prepare ourselves for?"
Neyx answered: "The possibility of fighting your own children."
The answer took the three by surprise.
Neyx continued: "You will be on different sides. A confrontation is unavoidable. You can tell me you are prepared now. But it would be a lie."
Shana remarked: "I was raised as a Sith. Pardon me Leader Neyx. But I was always prepared to take a life. No matter my personal feelings."
Neyx commented: "Any other Sith saying that might convince me. But it is a different case with you. You are too much like your daughter. Your words don't define your actions."
Shana sighed. Satele and Jace were both hesitant to answer.
Neyx said: "The three of you have followed me through a lot, and my expectations for you have always been fulfilled. Even if they were high. You have always believed in me since I became your leader. I will believe in you. Whatever you choose to do. You will have my support."
Neyx walked toward them. He reached out his right hand.
Satele, Jace and Shana smiled as they put their hands on his.
They all replied kindly: "Thank you Leader Neyx."
Odessen: Woods
Many Force-Users and soldiers were gathered. Hivus taught them how to fight unarmed, using lightsaber and the Force. Hivus stood in front of them demonstrating the lightsaber combat form I-VIII. Among the students watched were Arcann, Senya, Lana, Theron, Koth and the Outlander.
Koth commented and asked: "These are fairly interesting techniques. But since some can't use the Force. How will it help us?"
Hivus answered: "I think your Fleet Admiral can solve that problem. But as former soldiers and warriors. It would be good to know how your enemy will likely fight. So you can counter and defeat him or her. Every battle form has it's weaknesses."
The Outlander asked: "You said there existed something beyond Form VII?"
Hivus answered: "You have begun using your aura. You can even use it to enhance your lightsaber. But there is a lot more you need to learn, in order to combat Neyx and those Parity Crusaders. Now listen closely."
Hivus began explaining. What he told they others was how to use the Force in conjunction with your lightsaber combat.
Lana then asked: "What about those of us who can't use the aura yet?"
Hivus answered: "When you have learned or memorized all the forms, then travel further into the woods. Your second teacher awaits you."
The Outlander said: "We appreciate that you will teach us what you have learned."
The Alliance nodded.
Hivus replied: "You guys are an interesting group. I see a bright future for the Alliance. The appreciation is mutual. But now let us continue."
All the soldiers and Force-Users followed Hivus' movements.
Odessen Base: Alliance Laboratory
Altlitia, Yuun and Juvard together invented equipment which could manipulate gravity.
Juvard commented: "This is marvelous! Gentlemen and ladies. We have changed Galactic history! We have build equipment which manipulates gravity. In other words..."
Yuun continued: "We have created equipment which replicates the Force's power."
Altlitia commented: "Now everyone can do something similar to me."
Altlitia levitated a Kolto drink and used something like Force Pull and retrieve it. She levitated a few others, handing them to Juvard and Yuun.
Juvard answered: "Normally I would complain eating or drinking in the lab. But today we shall celebrate!"
A Non-Force-User wearing modified gloves and a uniform blew up a training doll from distance.
Altlitia said: "Cheers!"
Yuun and Juvard said: "Cheers!"
They all lifted their Koltos.
Odessen: Deep Woods
As the Alliance appeared in a open area in the woods. They were met by Vaylin surrounded by beasts and animals. She shined with a radiant light. The beast and local life were calm. She closed her aura and the beasts scattered. Vaylin stepped forward.
She bowed and said: "Welcome everyone. It looks like it is my turn."
Vaylin stood a meter from the Alliance.
Vette asked curiously: "What are we suppose to do now?"
Vaylin answered calmly: "It is pretty simple. I will use my aura. When you open your eyes next. We will be in a different place."
Aric asked wondering: "What about our bodies?"
Vaylin answered and asked: "I can sense anything moving nearby. My aura practically makes us invincible. If you are ready to trust me?"
No one hesitated. They closed their eyes. They felt light surround their bodies.
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Temple
Upon opening their eyes everyone were surprised.
The Outlander asked: "Where are we?"
Vaylin answered: "We are currently in my mind space. A similar setup was made during the Commander's final battle against my father. Although you don't have to worry. This is within my control."
Senya remarked: "This is... the temple of Scyva?"
An image floated quickly through Senya's mind of her and Vaylin visiting the temple together. A small smile formed across her face.
Arcann asked curious: "What happens now sister?"
Vaylin eyes began glowing. Some black smoke emitted from every Alliance members body. They were all surprised. The smoke left their body and manifested itself in front of them.
Theron asked wondering: "What is going on Vaylin?"
Vaylin's eyes stopped glowing.
She answered: "Your first trial will be to fight your dark emotions which has manifested itself in front of you."
The smoke turned into a black copy of the Alliance member.
Lana asked: "Will this make us stronger?"
Vaylin answered: "The Force-sensitives will feel an incredible difference once they return to their bodies."
Kaliyo asked: "What about us who aren't *gifted*?"
Vaylin answered: "You will gain higher resistance against the Force. Force Lightning, Force Bursts, Force Crush and Force Chokes will have minimal or no affect on you."
The Non-Force-Users became intrigued.
Vaylin said: "When you are ready I will summon your weapons."
Senya asked: "What happens if we lose to our manifestations?"
Vaylin answered: "It is inside my mind, so neither one of you will suffer any damage mentally or physical. You have two options. A retry or resign."
The Outlander stepped forward and said: "We have lost many friends, allies and comrades against Neyx and Saen. I won't let anymore of us die without a chance to fight back. I am ready."
The Alliance members gained their resolve and repeated the Outlander's words. Vaylin waved her hand and all the Alliance members weapons appeared above and landed on their hands.
Vaylin answered: "Very well. I will send you outside the temple. When you have concluded your battles. Simply say it. Good luck my friends."
Vaylin waved her hand and all the Alliance members and their manifestations were teleported outside.
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Holy Ground
All the Alliance members and their manifestations had been armed.
The Outlander stared down his manifestation and said: "Prepare yourself."
The two engaged in lightsaber combat and began parry blows.
Palades: Celentel Construction Ground
The construction has been completed. Galtlitia's eyes began glowing. She activated the Timeless Monarch. The gigantic warship hovered a bit above the ground. A gate opened and a bridge was extended. Satele, Jace, Malavai, Elara, Galtlitia, T7 and many other engineers and soldiers boarded it.
Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Throne Room
Neyx spoke in a holo and said: "Midi-chlorians and sentients together... I still remember it like it was a short time ago. I randomly stumbled upon a wellspring of life in the Unknown Regions. Those delusional Priestess attempted to stop me. But they were simply shells of the dead. Nothing more. I took the Midi-chlorians and implanted them into several women. Imagine it yourself. If someone as pathetic as the "Chosen One" was created from a regular woman, with such a high a connection to the Force. Imagine what kind of Enigma will be created if the Midi-chlorians impregnated a *Force-Sensitive woman!* Sevest."
The young man with silver hair and an eye patch answered and asked over holo: "You have told me before Master Neyx. But I am never getting tired of hearing it. The prospect of such powerful individuals still intrigue me."
Neyx asked: "How does it look with the children Sevest?"
Sevest answered calmly: "All is as it should be. They show no signs of disturbance and every problem or obstacle has been solved with compromise. In the start I was hesitant regarding being the overseer for them. But I have grown fond of it. Their power and Midi-chlorian count is off the charts. Almost on pair with the gods. The project is going smoothly."
Neyx said and asked: "Excellent. Hopefully the time will never come for them to enlist in our war. How is the situation in the Unknown Regions?"
Sevest answered: "Even with only half of our Forces then neither Rahon or Sicerna have met any fierce opposition. Those super weapons give us an enormous edge in our campaigns across the Unknown Regions. Any civilization antagonizing us will be swiftly dealt with. Refugees will temporarily be sheltered by our ally Chiss and Tion, before being transported to our *sister world*."
Neyx commented: "Excellent. That was all. Depending on the outcome of this war prepare for anything. Even my..."
Sevest answered hesitant: "I understand... we will always believe in you. No matter what decision you make.(calling Neyx by real name)."
Neyx replied: "Thank you."
Sevest bowed as Neyx closed the holo. He left the throne room.
Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - East Hallway
As Neyx walked he felt a presence.
Neyx said: "I know you are there. Show yourself ghost of the Empire."
What appeared before Neyx was Darth Marr's Force ghost.
He commented: "Your achievements are even beyond that of the Outlander. You united two enemy factions which have fought for Millennia. You have even dealt with the useless Senators in the Republic, and any traces of the Dark council have been erased. Acina and Satele also answers to you now."
Neyx commented: "You have been in my kingdom for some time. If you are looking for my secrets, you will only find trouble."
Marr replied: "I am already dead. You can't possibly hurt me."
Neyx asked: "Really?"
Neyx lifted his right hand and Marr's manifestation began burning in black flames.
He screamed: "Arghhh! Stop! Stop! I... understand...!"
Neyx lifted his hand again and the flames disappeared. Marr fell to his knees.
Neyx said: "The flaws of the Sith were always their overconfidence and arrogance. You manage to sway Satele well. If she had remained a simple Jedi, she might have refused the position as my High Minister."
Marr said and asked: "I can't read you. What is your plans? Sending Satele and the Republic Supreme Commander away like that. Are you perhaps... gambling with their lives?"
Neyx stared at Marr. He didn't feel any emotions.
Neyx answered: "This was never a fair war to begin with. I already hold all the cards. The only thing I have to do is sort out the ones who remain and the ones I shall discard. That is why Marr. I won't kill you. In contrary. A man with your talents can still be useful. I will give you an offer. You are free to accept or refuse."
Marr took off his mask(Face not seen yet) and said: "I am listening."
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Holy Ground
The Outlander fought against the manifestation of himself. They both continuously clashed. The Outlander used his aura. The manifestation repeated his technique. The two clashed and a shockwave was send through the area.
The manifestation asked: "You fear him, don't you? You fear Neyx. For the first time in your life... ever since your parents passed away... you fear...!"
The Outlander answered: "That's... that's..."
The Outlander hesitated. But through his actions guides his words.(Automatic lightside choice.)
The Outlander answered: "That's true!"
The Outlander swung his lightsaber sending the manifestation back surprised.
The Outlander said: "I fear Neyx! After acquiring the Eternal Throne, after looking at his actions, after hearing his words! Of course I fear him! He is more powerful!"
The Outlander made a quickstep. He hit his manifestation's lightsaber with incredible power. His assault was relentless.
The Manifestation cried: "Urgh! Agh! Argh!"
The Outlander continued: "His Forces accompanied only by one Parity Crusader defeated Zakuul! An Empire I fought for years, which he crippled in a day!"
The Outlander applied his aura into his lightsaber, and threw it toward the manifestation, who had a hard time blocking it.
The Manifestation cried: "Argh!"
The aura combined with the lightsaber manifested itself into a golden dragon. The Manifestation was forced further back.
The Manifestation cried: "Arggh!"
The Outlander moved forward quickly and said: "His motives are unknown, his Forces Unknown and his identity is unknown! He saved the Republic, the Empire and united them!"
The Outlander used Force Pull and retrieved his lightsaber. The golden dragon manifestation disappeared. The Outlander continued pushing his Manifestation back by hammering his lightsaber harder and harder at him.
The Outlander yelled: "Why does he care so much for the common people?! Why doesn't he give me a reason to hate him more? Why do I sense he is fighting for a cause as just as mine?! Why do I see so much of myself in his actions?!"
The Manifestation lost his grip of his lightsaber and dropped it. The Outlander were one hit away from victory. The manifestation put his arms up in a cross.
The Outlander decided: Accept it(Light)/Send it away(Neutral)/Cut it down(Dark)
The Outlander said: "Jedi might reject it. But I believe that in all of us harbor some darkness. Return to me. Let us become stronger and change. Together."
The Manifestation nodded and returned to the Outlander's body. His golden aura spiked.
The Outlander commented: "Incredible... the light... it is warm, calm and I feel... stronger and more focused."
The Outlander turned it off and said: "Vaylin. I am done with my test!"
The Outlander closed his eyes.
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Temple
As the Outlander opened his eyes. He had returned to the temple.
Vaylin said: "Welcome back Commander. It looks like you have passed the first trial."
The Outlander answered: "The Manifestation was strong. But I managed to make it. How is the situation with they others?"
Vaylin waved her hand. A lot of screens displaying the Alliance's members fighting were shown.
The Outlander commented: "It looks like they are struggling."
Vaylin replied: "They will each be forced to acknowledge themselves. Their answers will be different than yours."
The Outlander asked wondering: "Did you also face these tests?"
Vaylin answered: "I did. It wasn't easy. I had a lot of darkness within me. Had Hivus and they others not been there for me, it would have probably ended bad. But I am confident in all of Alliance members passing this test."
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Holy Ground = Theron
Theron faced his manifestation.
It said and asked him: "You are telling yourself that you are strong, but your mind and your power is fragile. You ask yourself, will she truly accept? Can you really see yourself by her side?"
Theron fought relentlessly, but he had been blasted in the shoulder. He were tired and exhausted.
The Manifestation said: "Admit it. You are constantly fearing for her safety, the loss of Torian affected you more than they others."
Theron breathe in and out and answered: "You are right... I am weak. I try to do my best, but I still have doubts. About my parents, about my path and about... Lana. I fear I can't protect any of them. I knew that a long time ago."
The Manifestation approached Theron and said: "You are finished."
But Theron rise and kicked his Manifestations right hand, forcing it to miss the shot.
Theron said: "But looking at the Commander gives me hope. He is still waiting to once again meet the one he loves. He doesn't give up the fight and neither will I! I might make jokes from time to time. But I always face things head on. I will protect and believe in the woman I love and in the people I love!"
Theron rushed forward. The Manifestation pointed his blaster at Theron and his on the Manifestation. The two had their finger on the trigger.
The Manifestation asked: "What is your answer?"
Theron answered: "I am not perfect and I never will be. But I will still continue forward."
The Manifestation dropped it's weapon. It returned into Theron's body. A light emitted.
Theron commented: "I feel... light. It isn't bad. Anyway... Vaylin! I am done."
Theron were teleported away.
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Holy Ground = Senya
Senya had disarmed her Manifestation and said: "I have made peace with myself. The Commander have given me and my children a second chance. Hivus cured my daughter and brought both her and my son back. I will have faith in all of them and support them from now on."
The Manifestation returned to Senya. She felt an enormous power surging through her.
She said: "I have finished Vaylin."
Senya were also teleported away.
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Holy Ground = Vette
Vette engaged in a shoot-out against her Manifestation.
She said: "I already know. Although I act as a morale officer I have my doubts and my insecurities. It isn't easy to accept former enemies as friends. But I have faith in the Commander and the ones I have fought side by side with. I don't know what the future brings. Maybe I will fall in battle... but until then... I will continue... being me!"
Vette rushed forward despite her fear. The Manifestation pointed her blaster at Vette's head. But she pushed the blaster away with her right hand. A shot grazed Vette's cheek. She continued and punched the Manifestation which lost it's grip on the blaster.
Vette pointed her blaster at the manifestation and said: "You have lost."
Vette withdraw her blaster and said: "I will have faith in the Commander and follow him until my body is destroyed. That is my answer."
Vette's Manifestation returned to her.
Vette felt a warm light.
As it disappeared she said: "Vaylin I have won!"
Vette were teleported away.
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Holy Ground = Aric
Aric pointed his blaster at the Manifestation and said: "I won't repeat my own mistakes. If I fall it would be to protect my comrades."
Aric didn't shoot. His Manifestation returned to him.
He said: "Mission complete."
Aric was also teleported away.
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Temple
As Aric had returned only few were left. Many of the other Force-Users and soldiers had also manage to finish the test.
Aric asked: "How many are left?"
Theron replied: "Looks like... Lana, Arcann, Koth and Kaliyo."
Vaylin commented: "I sense a lot of struggle within the remaining members. It feels... heavier than the rest."
Vette commented: "I can imagine. Kaliyo is an exciting individual. But she also seems to live a life of lies and constant denial of herself."
Senya depressed commented: "We also know that Arcann has a lot of conflict within him. What he have done no one will ever be able to forget. The least of them himself."
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Holy Ground = Koth
Koth had difficulty battling his Manifestation. The two fired blaster shots at each other. Both damaging each other to some degree.
It said: "You care about Tora. You have a lot in common and you have known each other for some time. But there is still something inside of you... you hesitate to act."
Koth replied: "Shut up. What do you know?"
The Manifestation said a simple word: "Lana."
Koth froze. The Manifestation began opening fire on him. He fell to his knees.
Koth cried: "Argh!"
The Manifestation said: "Poor Tora. What did she ever see in a coward like you."
Koth breathe in and out and calmed his thoughts.
He said: "It is true. I was in love with Lana for a time. I haven't forgotten all the times she saved my life. I depended on her a lot. I also felt guilty because of my involvement with Zakuul's conquest. But what I feel for Tora... is right!"
Koth forced himself up surprising his Manifestation. Koth punched it. An accidental stray shot grazed his left shoulder.
But he moved forward continue beating up his Manifestation and said: "I love Tora. She have always been there for me. I also knows how she feels, even though she act harsh. I have seen another side of her. I will support her and the Alliance, as we put an end to this blasted conflict."
Koth kicked his Manifestation in the stomach making it drop it's blaster. Koth grabbed his blaster. But he didn't fire. The Manifestation returned to his body.
Koth said: "Vaylin! I am ready!"
Koth were teleported back.
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Temple
Upon returning there was an awkward atmosphere between Koth and Theron.
The Outlander intended to break the ice and said: "Let us continue observing. The others are still fighting."
Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Garden
Neyx stood in his Garden. He spoke in holo with someone.
A Sovereign Soldier reported: "Leader Neyx! Warships wearing our insignia are launch large scale bombings and invasions across multiple neutral worlds!"
Neyx were surprised and said seriously: "Show me an image!"
The Sovereign Soldier answered: "Yes Leader Neyx."
The Sovereign Soldier transmitted a holo of one of their warships.
Neyx immediately recognized the warship and said: "These are *other* renegades...! Republic, Empire, Hutt, Tion and even GenoHaradan!"
The Sovereign Soldier asked: "What shall we do? The Sovereign Republic Empire will end up being blamed."
Neyx asked: "How is the situation with our forces?"
The Sovereign Soldier answered: "Supreme Commander Shana is still in orbit. June Helix are currently charged with Scepter Six. The rest of the Parity Crusaders are on the Core Worlds or inside the newly built Timeless Monarch. We are pretty spread out sir."
Neyx replied: "Once all the test are finished, send the Timeless Monarch. We will end those Renegades who intend to cause strife and conflict in our name!"
The Sovereign Soldier answered: "Understood. Leader Neyx."
Neyx closed the holo.
Neyx commented: "Another coalition force different from the Alliance? Only a few people should have capabilities like that. But who...?"
Odessen Base: Meeting Room
Asenna sat in her mobile respirator. A small smile formed across her face.
Bey'wan asked: "It doesn't look good. Warships wearing Neyx's insignia are attacking neutral worlds."
Thexan commented: "I won't pretend to understand. But this might be a move orchestrated by a third-party to discredit the Sovereign Republic Empire."
Lethala commented: "I don't like it. Many innocent people are die."
Hydan said: "We can't make any moves without the Commander's orders. We might put Odessen's defense in jeopardy in case Saen or Neyx decide to attack."
Asenna came forward and suggested: "Maybe we should take advantage of the situation? Neyx's Forces are spread out. We could launch a heavy assault on Scepter Six."
Bey'wan replied: "There are merits to that. Neyx's military resources rely heavily on the planet."
Thexan commented: "I don't think it is wise to act. We should attack those Renegades. Whether or not it hurts Neyx. We should focus on protecting the people rather than striking an enemy."
Tora commented: "He has point. We should send someone to contact the Commander."
Asenna said: "Neyx's forces can deal with the renegades. We can't leave such an opportunity to waste."
A news report appeared on the HoloNet.
A reporter said: "Leader Neyx have send a fleet of Republic and Imperial Warships in dealing with what he describes as an *Alliance-Imitation.* We will report back with further information."
Asenna commented: "Altlitia can use her powers to Hack the enemies warships."
Thexan asked: "Tora can you get the Commander? We have to make a decision regarding this."
Tora answered: "Sure. I will go."
Tora left the base heading towards the woods.
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Temple
The Outlander and the Alliance faced down against a giant woman with high resembles to Aivela.
Vaylin said: "Since all of you have passed, although some with difficulty. We will begin the next trial. You will face against one of the deities of Zakuul. Scyva the Goddess of Sorrow."
Koth asked: "Is this how Scyva looks?"
Vaylin answered: "Hivus apparently procured knowledge directly from a Celestial in his journey through the Unknown Regions. Putting faces on our deities can expand our culture further."
Senya smiled a bit with pride.
Lana asked: "What is the purpose of fighting this goddess?"
Vaylin answered: "This is a test of teamwork and to prepare you for an all-out war. Imagine you are facing a mighty power almost unstoppable that Neyx have unleashed."
Theron commented: "Alright I guess we can give this a go."
The Outlander draw his lightsaber and said: "Alliance! Spread out!"
The Goddess gathered an immense amount of Force energy. She created small asteroids and send them down on the Alliance. They all scattered doing their best to avoid her artillery bombardment. Koth and Aric moved further back. They open fire towards Scyva's face distracting her.
She yelled: "Argh! Insolent mortals! You dare attack a Goddess?!"
Scyva's eyes glowed. She fired Golden Force energy beams from her eyes. Koth and Aric ungracefully jumped to the side avoiding the initial blast, but were hit by the after wave.
Koth and Aric cried: "Urgh!"
Vette and Kaliyo opened fire using heavily artillery.
Kaliyo yelled: "Fall! Goddess fall!"
Scyva screamed: "Aggghh!"
Senya and Arcann ran to right and left side. They unleashed their aura and used Force Grip, using everything they had to lock Scyva's movements.
Scyva grunted: "Urg! Let go mortals!"
The Outlander ran forward followed by soldiers and Force-Users. The Outlander unleashed his aura. He enhanced his lightsaber's power and evolved it. The Soldiers and Force-Users spread out and began cutting Scyva's body with their lightsabers, or bombard her person with Force based techniques and artillery. The Outlander jumped in the air. He stabbed Scyva's body with the Heaven's Blade.
Scyva screamed: "Arghhh!"
Her eyes began glowing a bright light shined and blasted every Alliance member back. The Outlander landed near Vaylin.
She said: "Give me a moment. I sense someone coming."
Vaylin left her mind space.
The Outlander and the Alliance's member slowly rise. Witnessing Scyva recover.
Kaliyo yelled exhausted: "You can't be serious?!"
Aric commented beaten: "After all that she is still standing?!"
Arcann replied: "That is the Goddess Scyva for you."
Senya asked: "Where is Vaylin?"
The Outlander answered and said: "Seems like something have happened outside. Let us wrap this up. This time use everything you've got!"
Theron and Lana answered: "Yes sir!"
Everyone faced Scyva unleashing all their power.
Scyva summoned giant pillars of light. They hovered above her. The pillars split and rained down in the form of thousands of light needles.
The Outlander yelled: "Everyone defend!"
Upon impact gigantic amounts of lights illuminated the temple.
Odessen: Deep Woods
Vaylin stood and waited. Tora emerged from the woods.
Tora were surprised seeing the Alliance members surrounded by light energy.
She commented: "Looks like an interesting training."
Vaylin asked wondering: "Have something happened?"
Tora sighed and began explaining: "The thing is..."
She told Vaylin everything.
Vaylin's Mind Space: Scyva's Temple
As the smoke cleared all the Alliance member were down. Needles of light were sticking out from their bodies. The Outlander used his will. He rise. He were tired, weaken and beaten.
Scyva asked and stated: "Mortals... you stand before a Goddess. Why do continue fighting? You can't win and you will fall before my mighty power."
The Outlander smiled tiredly and answered: Say something inspiring(Neutral)/Say something oppressive(Neutral)
The Outlander said: "We have fought and a lost many. Friends, allies, families and love ones. But we won't ever give up! Our actions inspire hope in others. That is why... we will never give up! We will continue rising and fight for freedom and for the future!"
The Alliance members' aura began shinning. The Outlander unleashed his own. All their aura became linked to the Outlander's.
He said: "Even if we die others will continue where we left off. Our actions alone will reach them. Our brothers and sisters, our parents, our children and our descendants."
The Outlander channeled all their auras into his lightsaber. He threw the ultimate Heaven's Blade at Scyva.
She screamed: "Agh! Impossible...! AAAAAHHHH!"
The Goddess fell face down.
The aura disappeared a moment after Scyva's defeat.
Koth were heavily fatigued but said: "We.. did it...!"
Theron laughed completely beaten: "Ha...haha...ha..."
They all fell to ground.
Odessen: Deep Woods
The Alliance members all returned to their conscious.
Vaylin stood and said: "Congratulations. You have passed the second trial. You fought a noteworthy fight against a Superior Force."
The Outlander and they others were surprised. Their bodies felt light, stronger and more calm than before.
They all bowed and said: "Thank you Vaylin."
She answered: "You are welcome. Although I would have liked to continue to the third test. Tora just came and told me some troubling news."
The Outlander asked: "What is it?"
Vaylin began explaining.
Odessen Base: Docking Bay
Thexan looked up. He saw the Scions' Fleet depart.
Thexan commented: "This isn't good."
The Outlander, Hvus and all their members arrived at around the same time.
The Outlander asked: "Vaylin told me what happened. Couldn't you stop them?"
Thexan answered: "Not without using force. I couldn't risk an internal strife breaking into a civil war. I tried to halt them, but they were too determined."
Theron asked: "What shall we do now Commander?"
The Outlander sighed: "Guess we will follow. We won't let our allies die."
Hivus commented: "As long as Altlitia is still here we don't have to worry about anything going wrong."
Thexan replied a bit nervous and hesitant: "Well... the thing is..."
Thexan began explaining.
Hivus and Vaylin said in unison: "You gotta be... kidding...!"
Scepter Six Orbit:
The space was calm around Scepter Six.
June's Flagship: Bridge
June sat and relaxed on the bridge. But her intuition told her something was wrong.
June said: "Prepare the dreadnoughts for combat! Enemy Warships approaching!"
After she said it. The alarm sounded. Personnel and droids immediate got to work.
Scepter Six Orbit:
A Fleet of Force-imbued Warships appeared from hyperspace. They immediately engaged June's Fleet of dreadnoughts. Both Fleet's blew up each other. But June's Fleet were superior in numbers.
June said: "All Warships charge forward!"
June's Warships headed straight for the enemy's fleet.
Asenna's Flagship: Bridge
On the bridge Asenna were surrounded by Scions. Her eyes began glowing.
Asenna proclaimed: "Now destroy yourselves enemies of the Alliance!"
Scepter Six Orbit:
A big shockwave was emitted through Asenna's flagship and blasted all the way through the enemies' Fleet.
June's Flagship: Bridge
June and the organic crew were hit by the shockwave. June hang her head for a moment.
Scepter Six Orbit:
June's Fleet stopped it's advance. But a moment later. The hangar's exits of each dreadnoughts open. Outside came unique StarFighters. They flew amassed in hundreds toward The Scions' Fleet. They fired relatively few shots each, but reduced the enemies' Warships drastically in numbers.
Asenna's Flagship: Bridge
Asenna stared shocked at the events unfolding and asked: "What...? But...! How?!"
A Scion asked demanding: "Altlitia? Haven't you hacked their Warships yet?!"
Altlitia answered: "The Gemini Frequency doesn't work! They must use a separate signal!"
Asenna commented: "No... that's!"
Scepter Six Orbit:
June's Fleet began advancing again. They all opened fire.
June's Flagship: Bridge
June raise her head. A sinister smile was on her face.
She comment: "I have to give it to Neyx. He is a genius. Predicting that those wretched Scions would attempt to attack Scepter Six. He even placed me a person immune to think like Force Brainwashing."
A crew member said and asked: "We are only a small distance from them. What shall do now Commander June?"
June answered: "Ready my StarFighter. I will end those invaders personally!"
June left the bridge.
Odessen Base: Docking Bay
Hivus and Vaylin kissed each other passionately, before Hivus entered the Hailing Judgment.
Vaylin said worried: "Good luck everyone."
Hivus replied: "You two my love."
Vaylin turned around.
The Outlander said: "I am counting on you Vaylin. Work together with they others and protect Odessen."
Vaylin bowed and replied: "I Intend to do that Commander. Please be well."
The Outlander and the Alliance members nodded.
Koth and Tora stared at each other.
Koth said: "Take care of yourself Tora."
Tora hugged Koth and replied: "Right back at ya Captain."
Koth returned her affection. The two parted and Koth went into the Gravestone.
The Outlander stood at the Gravestone's entrance and said: "Everyone be strong and we will be back."
They all gave a friendly signature or smiled as the Outlander entered the Gravestone.
Gravestone: Hallway
Time stopped and Messias appeared: "You look worried. Is something the matter?"
The Outlander answered: "I feel like... I shouldn't go... I get this... ominous feeling... I am making a wrong choice..."
Messias asked: "What do you think the worst that could happen? You still have your Tomb Raider, the enigma child and the majority of your forces."
The Outlander hesitated to answer. Messias disappeared and time moved again.
The Outlander decided to put his worries in the bag for now.
Scepter Six Orbit:
A small StarFighter left June's Flagship. It flew full-speed toward Asenna's flagship.
Asenna's Flagship: Bridge
Asenna and the Scions aboard saw June's StarFighter on collision course. It didn't stop and rammed through the bridge's windows. Creating a temporary vacuum. Which was immediately sealed. June's StarFighter was stuck and broken. But it did not explode.
Asenna asked: "Who in the world is this madman?"
The StarFighter opened. The Scions stood ready. They had their lightsabers drawn. June immediately jumped out. She draw her lightsaber and with intense speed and movements. She cut down three Scions effortlessly with three swings.
June stared at Asenna and answered: "I think *madwoman* is the more correct term."
Altlitia used Force Push. But June only felt a slight wind.
June asked and stated: "I see... so you are Galtlitia's twin huh? Don't bother. That artificial stuff won't work. Heck even the regular kind might not work anymore thanks to Neyx. I could have used his help years ago. Force Choke was really bothersome."
Asenna asked wondering: "You know Neyx personally?"
As June were about to answer two Scions threw Force Bursts toward her. It hit. But June barely felt it.
June commented: "That felt like a punch. This will hurt a lot more!"
June draw out another lightsaber. She instantly made a quickstep and appeared between the two Scions who used Force Bursts. She straighted out her lightsabers to left and right. She made another quickstep and the Scions were instantly sliced in half.
Asenna stared in horror at June and asked: "What kind of monster are you?!"
June answered: "Quite rude. Considering who *you* are. It is hard to say who is the monster!"
Asenna asked confident after moment: "There are hundreds of Scions on this flagship. Do you really believe you can defeat us all?"
Asenna pushed on a alarm button. Multiple doors opened into the bridge. Many Scions and skytroopers rushed in.
Asenna yelled: "Skytroopers open fire!"
June stated: "How predictable."
As the skytroopers opened fire. June pushed on a button on her left gauntlet. A small ray shield appeared, shielding her from the skytroopers blaster shots.
Asenna said: "Altlitia! We are leaving!"
Altlitia answered: "OK."
The two ran through the nearby door and left. The Scions slowly moved forward.
June smiled and said: "Sometimes manipulators really lack facts. Sending droids at me was a fatal mistake."
June's eyes glowed. She took control of the skytroopers. They stopped shooting for a moment. They turned and began opening fire on the Scions. Many of them were taken by surprised and got killed. June ran forward and began cutting down the Scions, before they could attack the droids. After the short battle a few droids still stood back. June were contacted by comm.
A crew member reported and asked: "Commander June. The assaults of the Renegades have been stopped. The Timeless Monarch is on it's way. How is the situation?"
June answered: "I have removed around fifty-seventy Scions. Altlitia and the Oracle are within my reach. What shall I do?"
The crew member said: "If possible capture Altlitia alive. The Oracle is a secondary threat and shall be eliminated on the spot."
June answered: "Understood."
The comm ended.
June commented: "Looks like this will become another hunt."
June ran forward accompanied by the surviving skytroopers out from the bridge.
Scepter Six Orbit:
The Scions' Fleet had been reduced drastically. The StarFighters held their fire and returned to the dreadnoughts. All awaited June's return.
Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - War Room
Neyx looked at some datapads. Profiles titled *Renegade Core Members*. Images and profiles were of many members among them.
Neyx read the names: "Felix Iresso, Akaavi Spar, Corso Riggs, Zenith, Andronikos Revel, Vector Hyllus and the Leader and founder Donovan Shyres."
Neyx skimmed through their profiles, sighed and commented: "I guess without a center, without their respective leaders and without further purpose. This would be what the *companions* would be reduced to. I can't say I blame them. No matter how complicated..."
Neyx clenched his fists.
Neyx murmured: "The Seven..."
Scepter Six Orbit:
The Scions and June's Fleet resumed their all-out battle near Scepter Six. The Scions' Forces were on the brink of destruction. But a moment later out from hyperspace arrived the Gravestone and Hailing Judgment accompanied by some warships from the Eternal Fleet. They appeared in front of Scions' Fleet. They fired powerful beams destroying many dreadnoughts.
Asenna's Flagship: Hallway
June pulled out her lightsaber from a Scion's body. She had been contacted over the comm.
A crew member reported: "Commander June! The Eternal Alliance have appeared! Including the Forces lead by the Eternal Light Hivus!"
June asked wondering: "What about our reinforcements? How does it look regarding the Timeless Monarch?"
The crew member answered: "Still a few minutes! But our forces are taking big hits!"
June commented: "Contact Scepter Six for reinforcement for now. Spread out and fire everything on the enemies' Fleet. I will conclude my business here soon."
The crew member answered: "Understood Commander."
The comm turned off.
June stood in front of a door. She stepped back. She signaled the skytroopers using heavy artillery. They fired two rocket blasts, destroying the door. June entered with a platoon of skytroopers.
Asenna's Flagship: Hangar
June were faced with twenty Scions and ten skytroopers controlled by Altlitia. Both groups stared each other down. June signal the skytroopers to ready their blasters. The Scions ready themselves with Altlitia's skytroopers. The two group engaged in all-out battle. Altlitia against June. Their lightsabers clashed against each other.
Scepter Six Orbit:
The Gravestone and Eternal Fleet moved further ahead and pushed back the enemies dreadnoughts. But Scepter Six send more and more StarFighters and warships.
Hailing Judgment: Bridge
Hivus spoke in comm with the Commander.
Hivus said: "We can't continue this Commander. As it looks time will be on their side. We need to do something."
Thexan and Lusitania used enhanced Force-sight and saw the reinforcements on their way from orbit.
Lusitania commented worried: "This is ridiculous. Their surface fleet surpasses ours by the hundred."
Gravestone: Bridge
The Outlander could sense many enemies on their way.
The Outlander asked wary: "What do you suggest we do Hivus?"
Hivus answered: "The only viable option for us is... to destroy Scepter Six."
Theron rebuked: "We can't do that! On the surface there are people!"
Koth commented: "We can't... it's...!"
Lana asked: "...is that the only option?"
The Outlander commented: "But doing that will...!"
Hivus replied: "I understand your hesitation Commander... but we don't have enough warships for a prolonged battle! Our whole Fleet will be destroyed within an hour!"
As Hivus said that. Dreadnought reinforcement appeared and blew up a few Eternal Fleet Warships near the Gravestone. Debris fell and hit the Gravestone. It shake and many of the Alliance members lost their balance.
Koth said: "I see more warships heading our way!"
The Outlander ordered: "Fire the LIBRA Cannon!"
The Gravestone fired their LIBRA cannon. It destroyed twenty five dreadnoughts. But as the Gravestone came closer. The Alliance were shocked. On Scepter Six's airspace were thousands of Dreadnoughts, StarFighters and other space transports.
Lana commented: "The Gravestone won't be enough to stop all those!"
The Outlander asked: "Please explain that super weapon on your ship Hivus."
Hivus answered: "It is relatively simple. It charges up for a minute. When ready. It releases a gigantic blast of the Force and wipes off everything on the surface. The shockwave blast from the surface into the planet's core and then the planet will blow up."
Theron asked: "You sound like you have destroyed planets before?"
Hivus answered hesitantly: "The journey through the Unknown Regions wasn't an easy one. We encountered many powerful and savage beings. Sometimes... using the weapon was the only way to avoid a massacre."
The Alliance were surprised and silent for a moment.
Hivus said: "Commander. We joined your cause, because we believe in whatever choice you make. We don't have to use the weapon. But we are facing a whole planet filled with Neyx's power. We can only stand our ground for so long."
The Gravestone were hit by further rounds of fire from the approaching dreadnoughts.
Lana said: "Commander! We can't handle much more."
The Outlander closed eyes. He opened them again.
The Outlander decided: Give them some time(Light)/Destroy the world quickly!(Dark)
The Outlander replied: "I understand. But make a planetary announcement. Let us give the population some time before destroying their world."
Hailing Judgment: Bridge
Hivus answered: "I understand. We will begin then."
Hivus closed the comm.
Hivus said: "Let us begin. Lusitania activated warp system."
Lusitania pushed on a few buttons and the control panel.
Scepter Six Orbit:
The Hailing Judgment hovered right above orbit.
Hivus broadcasted a holo and spoke: "Attention residents and workers of Scepter Six. Within twenty minutes we will fire a super weapon and destroy the planet. All populace please evacuate. The Alliance won't be held responsible for any stubbornness of the populace, resulting in casualties."
Hailing Judgment: Bridge
Hivus closed the broadcast.
Hivus said: "Thexan put up the shields."
Thexan answered: "Yes sir."
Thexan pushed on a button.
Hivus said: "Lusitania charge up the energy for the weapon."
Lusitania answered: "Understood."
Lusitania began fiddle with some buttons.
Scepter Six Orbit:
The Hailing Judgment's shields were up. The energy charged up.
Scepter Six: Surface
Panic spread across Scepter Six's surface. People headed toward the shuttles, transports and other long distance travel vessels.
Gravestone: Hangar
The Outlander clenched his fists, as he entered an Alliance shuttle. Theron and Lana. Jedi, Sith and Zakuul Knights accompanied them. The hangar opened and the shuttle left.
Scepter Six Orbit:
Dreadnoughts opened fire against the Hailing Judgment. But nothing could break it's shields. The shields absorbed a majority of the enemies energy based attacks. They returned in the form of a wave. The nearby dreadnoughts attempting to destroy the Hailing Judgment slowly fell back to the surface.
Gravestone: Bridge
Koth commented: "Gotta give it to them. The Hailing Judgment. It is certainly powerful."
Scepter Six Orbit:
Koth piloted the Gravestone and blasted the Dreadnoughts heading toward the Alliance Fleet.
Asenna's Flagship: Hangar
Altlitia screamed: "Arghhh!"
June used her lightsaber and cut off her left hand.
June stepped on Altlitia's stomach and proclaimed: "Your fighting style was certainly unique. But you made a mistake believing you could take the offensive against us."
Asenna lied down. She had been separated from her respirator chair. Around them corpses of Scions and broken skytroopers were spread. June stepped away from Altlitia.
She pointed her lightsaber at her Asenna and said: "It is over servant of the Hybrid."
But as June were ready to cut down Asenna. A shuttle crashed into the hangar.
Alliance Shuttle: Interior
The Outlander rise.
Time stopped and Messias appeared and spoke: "To think you ordered destruction of a planet. I feel kinda proud."
The Outlander answered: "I take no pleasure from doing this. I also thought Goddesses were more... silent."
Messias answered amused: "I am a hybrid. My power surpasses everyone of those fools."
The Outlander said: "If you are really that amazing, how come you were the prisoner of Neyx?"
Messias smiled sinisterly and answered: "I can assure you. I fought all of his army. All his troops which number was..."
Messias memory were sudden paused.
The Outlander asked: "What? Something wrong? What is it with Neyx's army?"
Messias began speaking again: "Neyx's army is..."
The pause happened again.
After a moment Messias spoke again: "Damn Neyx! He had apparently done something to my mind, other than torturing me. I can't reveal any crucial information about who he is or his resources."
The Outlander crossed his arms and replied: "Not very useful are you?"
Messias answered: "Laugh all you want. But you will never defeat Neyx without my power. I have used my time and begun looking into your mind. You possess an interesting story."
The Outlander replied: "It would help if you are capable of unlocking my sealed powers."
Messias commented devilish: "Anything for Neyx's Fall! Good luck. Hero."
Messias disappeared.
Asenna's Flagship: Hangar
June attempted to contact her flagship. But all she heard were static.
June commented: "Either my ship is down or there is jamming. Damn!"
Out from the shuttle came Jedi, Sith and Zakuul Knights. Behind them were Theron, Lana and the Outlander.
The Outlander said: "June. It has been a long time."
June replied: "Yeah it has Commander. To be honest I had hoped to avoid fighting you. But my allegiance is with Neyx."
The Outlander asked curiously: "You said you knew who Neyx is?"
June replied: "That is right. He is someone I met a long time ago. I consider him family."
June lifted her lightsaber. The Alliance ready themselves.
The Outlander asked: "I guess I can't convince you to stand down?"
The Outlander draw his lightsaber.
June answered: "It was simply meant to be this way."
June and the Outlander ran toward each other. June threw one of her lightsabers toward the Outlander. He hit it send it up in the air. Their lightsabers clashed. June lifted up her left hand and the lightsaber came down.
The Outlander surprised took a step back. June took a step forward and kicked the Outlander in the stomach sending him back.
The Outlander reacted: "Ouch!"
Lana stepped forward and said demanding: "You are outnumbered. Give up now!"
June answered skeptically: "Really? Is that what you think?"
Three shuttle suddenly crashed into the hangar. Out from them came droids from Scepter Six. June's eyes glowed.
She said: "I think the ones who are outnumbered... are you! Open fire."
All the droids opened fire with their blasters. The Outlander unleashed his aura. He created a large Force Shield and blocked the blaster shots.
The Outlander yelled: "Alliance to battle!"
They all stood ready. The Outlander lowered his shield. They all ran forward ready to clash.
Scepter Six Orbit:
Over ten minutes have passed. Many small vessels had left Scepter Six. The Timeless Monarch finally appeared. It fired a powerful beam. Thirty Eternal Fleet warships instantly were destroyed.
Timeless Monarch: Bridge
Satele said depressed: "Forgive me Commander. I never wished for things to end like this."
Jace crossed his arms and said: "It is a powerful weapon. But I don't feel right using it on the Alliance."
Galtlitia commented: "They will soon do something desperate. Just wait and see. It is only a matter of time before their whole fleet falls, if they don't."
Scepter Six Orbit:
The Timeless Monarch moved toward the Alliance Warships. They supported the dreadnoughts. They fired hundreds of EMP Missiles temporarily stunning every Alliance Warships and Eternal Fleet. The Gravestone manage to fly out of the range. The Gravestone used the LIBRA Cannon again and destroyed multiple Dreadnoughts.
Gravestone: Bridge
Koth commented worried: "I hope you are soon done with your business Commander. The tide have just turned against us."
Koth stared at the all the incapacitated and paralyzed Eternal Fleet and Alliance Warships.
Timeless Monarch: Bridge
Galtlitia looked at the crippled Alliance Warships and declared confidently: "It is over."
Satele commented: "Don't underestimate the Commander. He is more powerful than you know."
Galtlitia retorted: "Don't forget where your loyalties lie."
Satele rebuked: "I haven't. What about you?"
Galtlitia and Satele stared each other down seriously. Jace and T7 interfered. Attempting to calm both women down.
Hailing Judgment: Bridge
Hivus commented: "It is almost time. Lusitania keep an eye on that gigantic warship."
Lusitania used the Force. She sensed the Timeless Monarch quite some distance away.
Lusitania asked worried: "Do you think that warship can penetrate the Hailing Judgment's shields?"
Thexan answered: "Hopefully we won't find out. While the shields are up we can't attack."
Hivus clenched his fists as he murmured: "Four minutes left."
Asenna's Flagship: Hangar
The Outlander and June continued parry blows. June hit the ground and electric surges appeared on the ground. The Outlander used his aura blocking it. He made a quickstep. He hit June's lightsabers heavily blasting her back. June were tired and her comm was still filled with static. She quickly changed frequency and got through to the Timeless Monarch.
Galtlitia answered: "Yes? This is Galtlitia captain of the Timeless Monarch."
June reported: "This is Commander June! Currently aboard enemy flagship! If you are there then fly directly to Scepter Six! An Alliance Warship is about to destroy it!"
Lana commented: "This is bad! We need to end this quickly!"
The Outlander used his aura and blasted June with a mix of concentrated golden Force Lightning and Force Burst.
June screamed: "Argh!"
She fell to her knees. Her comm destroyed.
June forced her tired body up and said: "Not yet...!"
The Alliance's Forces manage to destroy a majority of the droids. June pulled out a blaster. She pointed it at the Outlander.
Lana commented unimpressed: "A last desperate move huh?"
June smiled and answered: "Wrong! A triumph card!"
June pointed the blaster at an Alliance member. She pulled the trigger. The Alliance member stood ready expecting a blaster shot or laser. But what flew toward him was a lightsaber's light. It grazed his lightsaber and pierced right through his body. He fell dead to ground. The light continued flying piercing through both droids and alliance members, before hitting the nearby wall. The Alliance were shocked.
June said: "Imagine it. A shot from a blaster ten-twenty times faster than a regular swing or throw."
Lana and Theron looked shocked as June moved forward. The Outlander stood ready with his aura unleashed.
Timeless Monarch: Bridge
Galtlitia were shocked. She activated her sensors and her eyes glowed. She sensed a warship hovering above Scepter Six.
Scepter Six Orbit:
The Timeless Monarch moved with instant speed and appeared within seconds only a small distance from the Hailing Judgment.
Timeless Monarch: Bridge
Galtlitia yelled: "I won't let you destroy my world!"
Galtlitia's eyes began glowing.
Scepter Six Orbit:
The Timeless Monarch fired missiles, beams and everything on the Hailing Judgment. The beams pierced through the shields, and dealt large amounts of minimal damages to Hailing Judgment. The Timeless Monarch stopped firing and began charging up a super weapon.
Hailing Judgment: Bridge
Everything was shaking. Some of the Knights lost their balance.
Lusitania reported: "Commander Hivus! Their attack have dealt us large amounts of minimal damage! Their ship is about to fire their super weapon."
Thexan said: "Commander Hivus we don't have enough time to destroy the planet, without breaking our promise to the Alliance Commander."
Hivus deduced from the power he sensed from the enemy's ship: "If the weapon hits us, we won't survive..."
Hivus closed his eyes and an image of Vaylin flashed through his mind. He open them again.
Hivus commanded: "Turn the ship around and unleash God's Light on the enemies's warship!"
Lusitania and Thexan answered: "Yes sir!"
Lusitania and Thexan began pushing on many buttons.
Scepter Six Orbit:
The shields on the Hailing Judgment were deactivated. Their weapon were charged up. A hole opened at the bow.
Both sides(Hailing Judgment:Bridge and Timeless Monarch:Bridge)
Both Galtlitia and Hivus yelled: "Fire!"
Scepter Six Orbit:
Both warships fired their super weapons. As their beams clashed a massive explosive shockwave and energy pulse were send out. The wave destroyed all nearby vessels in Scepter Six airspace. The Hailing Judgment and Timeless Monarch were blasted back.
Both sides(Hailing Judgment:Bridge and Timeless Monarch:Bridge)
All screamed: "Argh!"
Scepter Six: Surface
After the wave the two clashing energies merged together and fell down on Scepter Six wiping off the surface.
Asenna's Flagship: Hangar
The enormous wave reached Asenna's starship. Almost everyone lost their balance. The droids aboard were all destroyed. June forced herself up. She pointed the blaster at the Outlander, who managed to remain on his feet.
Time momentarily stopped and Messias reappeared and spoke: "You are in quite a bind. What do you intend to do Outlander?"
The Outlander decided: The Force is with me(Light)/Provoke June(Dark)/The Force is my slave!(Dark)
The Outlander put his hands up, breathed in and out and said: "The Force is with me!"
Messias disappeared. She felt an abnormal power coming from the Outlander. Time moved again.
The Outlander said: "I won't succumb to fear. Go ahead and shoot."
The Outlander began walking forward.
June smiled sinisterly and said: "Goodbye... Outlander!"
June pulled the trigger and a lightsaber light flew toward the Outlander's face. But before impact the light dispersed. The result shocked and surprised both June and the Alliance members.
June yelled: "Impossible! How?!"
The Outlander continued walking forward. June pulled the trigger fast and multiple lights flew toward the Outlander. But they all dispersed right before impact.
June yelled: "No way! That's... not possible!"
The Outlander stared at the blaster. He send a burst of Force energy and overloaded it. The blaster blew up in June's right hand.
She screamed: "Argh!"
The Outlander used Force Pull. He pulled June toward him. He punched her in the stomach.
June reacted: "Ourgh!"
The Outlander let her go. June fell to her knees. Theron, Lana and the other Alliance members rushed over to the Outlander.
Theron commented: "That was... amazing! I don't know what to say..."
Lana asked curious: "How are you feeling Commander?"
The Outlander answered: "I am ok."
They all stared at June.
She asked: "What now? Are you gonna kill me?"
The Outlander decided: No(Light)/Yes exactly!(Dark)
The Outlander said and asked: "You will be taken prisoner. Cn I assume you won't resist?"
June answered: "You have won. It is your choice."
But before they left. Every Force-sensitive fell to the ground clutching their chests.
Lana yelled: "Argh!"
The Outlander asked: "This is...!"
Altlitia rise and commented horrified: "Scepter Six... has been destroyed."
A little smile was formed across Asenna's face as she glanced toward the Outlander.
Scepter Six(Former)
The planet Scepter Six blew up. Turning into massive debris and rubble.
Timeless Monarch: Bridge
Galtlitia could feel her link to the planet being broken.
She screamed in pure agony and pain: "AAAAHHHHHHH!"
After a moment the bridge received two holo calls. Galtlitia answered them. Her long her hid her eyes, which were burning with rage.
Malavai said: "Every other system have been temporarily knocked out. But mine and Elara's battlecruisers still work. We can take out the Alliance and their fleet."
Elara commented: "if we could capture some of the core members alive, we can Force the ones on Odessen to surrender."
Galtlitia lifted her hand.
Timeless Monarch: Docking Bay
The exit gate opened.
Elara's Battlecruiser: Bridge
Elara asked: "What shall we do Captain Galtlitia?"
Galtlitia answered in holo silently: "Do what you believe is best. Galtlitia out."
Galtlitia closed the holo.
Malavai's Battlecruiser: Bridge
Malavai said: "Destroying the enemy will be more efficient in this case."
Timeless Monarch: Docking Bay
The Battlecruisers took off and left the Timeless Monarch.
A holo of Satele suddenly appeared and spoke: "Attention Eternal Alliance. Your fleet have been disabled. Surrender immediately and we will be lenient."
Theron clutched his hands.
He let out a worried voice: "Mother..."
Lana and the Outlander stared at the holo wondering what will happen next.
Scepter Six System:
Elara and Malavai's Battlecruisers flew out. Malavai began blowing up Alliance's vessels. Elara fired jamming missiles on nearby Alliance vessels. Sealing and short-circuiting the Alliance's Fleet.
Odessen Base: Rooftop
Vaylin stood on the base's rooftop. Her eyes glowed. She got a vision.
Vision
A giant Warship covered by the Black Force appeared above Odessen. They opened fire, flames were everywhere. The Void Clan and Saen's loyal warriors invaded and a battle ensued.
Odessen Base: Rooftop
The vision didn't show the ending.
Vaylin commented: "I need to report this to they others!"
Vaylin jumped down from the roof.
Palades: S.R.E Headquarter - Neyx's Clock Room
Neyx stood in the room surrounded by clocks.
Neyx contemplated: "My most faithful and loyal allies. Whenever they fall I can feel it and a clock will break. It was the same with Mentz. Jackal my loyal subordinate won't share that moment. My power comes with a contract. His soul will stay alive, but be stripped of everything which was him. Satele... Shana... Jace... will you three make it through this alive...?"
Neyx commented: "I chose to have faith in the Outlander. I hope I wasn't wrong."(Result of continuously lightside decisions)
The clocks each emitted small letters of Force energy, making up the persons ego. As Neyx left the room. Four clocks placed on the table began emitting letters.
Odessen Orbit:
A gigantic Warship covered by the Black Force appeared out from hyperspace, accompanied by several Corrupted Eternal Fleet Warships.
Saen's Oblivion: Bridge
Saen stood up and yelled: "It is time...! Let Odessen... DISAPPEAR!"
End
