Darth Izanami, also known as the Empire's wrath, the Outlander, and the Commander of the Eternal Alliance, was walking through her base on Odessen. She was on her way to the hanger to meet with a few Jedi guests. She didnt know who the guests were, other than they were apparently high ranking masters from the order. This wasnt too strange, as there were a number of jedi among the alliance still, even after she had formally aligned with the Empire, however it was odd to see more join now as the war was about to begin anew and she doubted many jedi would willingly join her to fight their own.

As she reached the hanger she saw the jedi in question talking to her second in command Lana Beniko, as Izanami approached she looked at the two jedi, one was a Kel-Dor male and the other was a human male with light skin. The Human she didnt recognize, however she recognized the Kel-dor as Jedi Master Gnost-Dural. He was a well known historian and chronicler in the order, Izanami had never met him personally but had heard much of him from the jedi in the alliance and had listened to a number of his entries in the jedi archives.

"Ah commander youre here" Lana spoke up as Izanami finally reached them "May i introduce to you Jedi master Gnost-Dural, and Master Sori, the Barsen'thor of the jedi order". The two Jedi bowed as the were introduced, Izanami returned the bow "I must admit this is quite the surprise, youre not here to join the alliance are you?" she asked with genuine curiosity

"I'm afraid not Commander" Gnost-Dural replied "I simply wanted to come see the alliance for myself, being able to witness it first hand will do wonders for the entry in the archives. Ive already made some entries for you personally but have yet to make one for the alliance" she explained. "And i wanted to come and see how you managed to get jedi and sith working together" Sori spoke up "As Barsen'thor, seeing how they cooperate here would help me create a potential understanding for us all in the future"

Izanami nodded, that all made perfect sense to her, and with the current peace now would be the perfect time to do it, especially since it looked like the war would start again soon. How soon she couldnt guess, Vowron had not informed her if there was an intended time yet so she could only speculate "I understand, and please no need to be formal with me, just call me Izanami, and you have free roam of the base, just try not to cause trouble" some might call her rude for suggesting that jedi would start something here, but she had witnessed herself how some jedi were more aggressive than the sith they fought. Not that she expected these particular jedi to do anything rash, but still it was best to simply state it

"Of course Izanami, i wouldnt dream of it" Master Sori nodded, Lana spoke up now "Ill make sure everyone knows that theyre guests here and should be given respect. Also Theron wanted me to let you know he might have a lead on some-"

Everything froze. Izanami looked around but it seemed as though time itself had stopped, she had seen this before, and that ment… "Valkorian" she said and looked over

Standing in the center of the hanger, hands casually held behind his back as always, was the apparently still alive emperor Valkorian "Hello my Wrath"

"Impossible, you were destroyed" She said and reached for her lightsaber, she didnt think it would do much good but she drew it nonetheless, the blade ignited as she pointed it at the man she thought she had killed

"You merely destroyed one of my vessels, the one that was attached to you, did you really believe i had not prepared an alternative? Foolish, i thought you were smarter than that, but i suppose you were not my wrath for your intelligence"

"I suppose ill simply have to hunt down all of your bodies then wont it?" She responded

"An amusing thought, however you will not have the chance. You see, ive prepared a special ritual for you and your little alliance, one that will send you all somewhere out of the way for the foreseeable future. I simply came here to let you know out of courtesy" Valkorian said as he walked closer. Izanami attempted to cut him in half as she approached her, but the blade simply passed through him as if he were not there. She figured as much, Izanami lowered the blade and looked him in the eyes "Whatever you have in store for me Valkorian, ill overcome it"

"Once I might have believed that, but you have grown complacent, look how far you have fallen. Joining the empire because youre too weak to stand on your own. No, im afraid you wont be escaping this time, goodbye my Wrath, you were once my greatest sith. But now you are nothing more than a minor inconvenience" And with that he disappeared.

Time resumed as he vanished. "Potential ships for our fleet" Lana continued but saw Izanami had her lightsaber out and on "Whats wrong commander?"

"Valkorian" Izanami said slowly "He was here"

Lana's eyes widened "What? No that cant be you destr-" "I only destroyed part of him apparently, he said he had something in store for us, to send us out of his way"

"This is bad, if he told you as much then he must be confident we wont be able to stop him"

"Pardon me but where did that come from?" Master Sori spoke up and pointed to the end of the hanger, everyone turned their eyes to see a large stone monument at the edge of the hanger bay, it was swirling with force energy and looked like it could go off at any moment

"My Lord?" Izanami heard the familiar voice of her husband, Malavai Quinn, and turned to see him standing next to her, she had been so focused on Valkorian and the monument she hadnt seen him approach her "Is something wrong?"

Izanami looked back at the monument, she felt the power rise and knew there wasnt enough time to do anything, whatever it was about to do, there wouldnt be enough time to try and stop it. Lana and the Jedi must have sensed it too because they all simply shook their heads and looked to her

Izanami looked back at Quinn, this wasnt how she had planned on dying, but at least she was with her friends and her husband "Malavai… I love-"

And everything went white
