Jacen swiftly turned from Krayt's decapitated corpse just as the door to the throne room was blown open by a Force wave generated by a male Chagrian Sith Lord. The Sith had two male human acolytes behind him, who already had their lightsabers in hand and activated. Jacen wondered what took them so long to respond, as the explosion to the throne room was quite loud and obvious, and Darth Krayt's distress from then to the point of his death should have provoked a quicker response than this.
But upon seeing who their Master's killer was, the Chagrian only stared at Jacen in utter shock with his acolytes. No doubt they were in disbelief that the infamous Jacen Solo, confirmed dead four years earlier, was the one to murder Darth Krayt, leader of the One Sith.
Before anyone could say anything, the sound of a loud engine roaring nearby soon became deafening as an old-fashioned Imperial shuttle rose from the still-smoky hole that Jacen emerged from. The shuttle's nose pointed for the Chagrian and his acolytes, and it instantly fired upon them with green lasers. They were all too slow to dodge the lasers, and they were essentially atomized where they stood.
After that, the boarding ramp to the shuttle lowered for Jacen to leap onto and grab hold onto one of its struts. He held for dear life as the shuttle rocketed forward through the palace, blasting various Sith with lasers along the way. Those Sith that the shuttle's pilot missed, Jacen easily decapitated along the way with his lightsaber.
Upon coming up to a wall, the shuttle fired out another laser that blasted the wall to smithereens, allowing it to soar out of the Sith Temple and for the night skies of Korriban. Jacen then made another leap straight into the shuttle, but pressed his back against the wall that was now behind him. He then took out his comm and activated it.
"Onimi, did you set the charge yet?" Jacen asked.
.
"I just did, my man," Onimi responded into his own commlink. He now stood on top of a piece of circular silver metal, which was balanced on top of a collection of more than a dozen thermal detonators, which were all stuck via superglue onto the roof of Korriban's Sith Temple.
"Then what are you waiting for, activate it!" Jacen exclaimed.
"Roger," Onimi said before deactivating his comm and replacing it back into his belt. He then took out a cylindrical device and pushed the red button on top of it before quickly putting it back into his belt.
Two seconds later, with a Force shield around him, the entire One Sith Temple turned into a pillar of fire which only became fatter when Onimi's Force shield pushed the explosion down beneath him. The deformed Yuuzhan Vong only used the tremendous impact left by the explosion to rocket him into the skies of Korriban on a sure trajectory for the Imperial shuttle that Jacen was now aboard.
And as he flew for the shuttle, Onimi sung the opening to The Circle of Life by Elton John.
When Onimi was close to the shuttle, he shut down his Force shield and kicked away from the piece of metal as he grabbed hold of the bottom of the still-open boarding ramp. He then climbed aboard the ramp and was given a helping hand by Jacen to come inside. The human then shut the ramp by pressing a button next to him.
"Oh, I forgot, did you also make sure those bomb droids would also come with you?" Jacen asked.
Onimi nodded with a mischievous smile. "What kind of friend would I be if I didn't make sure those droids would work?" he retorted.
.
Bare minutes later, after the shuttle was through the atmosphere and confronting a fleet of One Sith vessels, seemingly outmatched in a hopeless situation as a typical holodrama hero, the army of extremely tiny spider droids, which were a millimeter in length and width, that had followed the shuttle up into space were instantly programmed with a directive from the shuttle: destroy the Sith ships.
And so, before any vessels from the One Sith could fire so much as a laser for the shuttle, they all went up in flames that were soon extinguished in the vacuum of space as the spider droids latched onto those vessels' hulls and destroyed them, killing each and every Sith aboard.
It was now smooth sailing for the shuttle to leave the system.
.
"Good work, Nommy," Onimi said as he and Jacen entered the shuttle's cockpit to meet its pilot, Nom Anor. Onimi clapped his fellow Yuuzhan Vong in between his shoulder blades in a gesture of friendship and celebration.
"Thanks," Nom Anor said with a smile. "I'll admit, it was pretty cool the way we left the Sith Temple like that. I felt like one of those holodrama action heroes, you know what I mean?"
"Yeah," Jacen nodded. "So I reckon that's all gonna set the One Sith back a few decades or what?"
"They shouldn't be much of a problem for the Jedi and Galactic Alliance to deal with," Onimi commented. "Now all they and us have to deal with are those damn Killiks."
"And the Chiss Ascendancy, no doubt," Nom Anor chimed in. "Looks like it's gonna be a second Swarm War."
Jacen nodded, resigned. "And let's not forget this new Sith presence that's emerged. We need to take care of that, too. I say we go after that first; I think the Jedi and GA can handle the Killiks and Chiss on their own for a while. It shouldn't hurt 'em too much if we go after this new Sith."
Onimi and Nom Anor nodded. "So let's go find it," Nom Anor concluded.
Then he turned back to the shuttle's instruments, input some coordinates, and a moment later, he pulled down on the hyperdrive lever, placing the ship into hyperspace.
