In a shadowy part of the Amitrax System, the Strife drifted through space. Aboard the ship in his private quarters was Dark Laser. Dark Laser sat in a chair as some mechanical arms lowered down from the celling and carefully removed his mask and helmet. The Keshiri was bald with scars on the left side of his face and neck, a result of the defeat he suffered at Clockwork's hands. Dark Laser remembered the pain of losing his hand and being Forced pushed over the railing at the factory. He had fallen dozens of feet and had managed to use the Force to slow his fall a little bit before he crashed onto another catwalk.
Dark Laser was battered and bruised with broken ribs and a twisted ankle, but he managed to push himself to his feet as parts of the weapons factory had exploded around him. He limped to a hover lift and had almost reached the bottom floor, when a large chunk of burning derby fell down and crashed into the lift smashing it and Dark Laser to the ground. Dark Laser had been buried under a lot of rubble for several hours before some of his followers had found him and had taken him to Bender to get fixed. After that incident Dark Laser had kept a low profile operating in the shadows as he vowed revenge on Clockwork and to conquer the Amitrax System.
In the present Dark Laser held the Crown of Fire in his lap. He took a deep breath and put the crown on his head as he began to meditate and try to unlock the crown's secrets and see what kind of power it offered him. In his mindscape, Dark Laser found himself in the throne room of some kind of castle and sitting before him was the Sith Lord, Pariah Dark!
Pariah Dark was a large, well-built man. He had a white face, long green hair,a braided green beard, green eyes, with a black scar on his right eye and a black eye patch over his left eye. Pariah Dark had two gray horns on the sides of his head, the left one was broken in half. His outfit consisted of black full-body armor, with gray shoulder guards and boots. Pariah Dark also wore gray gauntlets with green spikes on the cuffs and knuckles, a green belt, with a metallic circular buckle with a green center and a gray cloth hanging down from it. Pariah Dark also wore a cape, which was black on the outside and red on the inside, and is fastened to his armor by two green skulls.
"Lord Pariah Dark?! How is this possible?!" Said Dark Laser looking very surprised.
"I created the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage with my hate and anger, they are a part of essence. I have connection to both of them, so my essence lingers within." Explained Pariah Dark as he stood up from his throne.
"Incredible! You truly are a Sith Lord like no other! I am a Sith as well. My name is Dark Laser and I wish to learn your ways." Said Dark Laser.
"You a Sith?" Asked Pariah Dark with a chuckle.
Dark Laser was going to insist that he was a Sith, when Pariah Dark pointed his hand at and he was Force lifted into the air and was brought before the Sith Lord and stopped a few feet away from him.
"Ah you think Dark Side is your ally? You merely adopted it. I was born in Dark Side, molded by it becoming the most feared Sith Lord in the Amitrax System and beyond! I slaughtered thousands who opposed me! The Jedi Council feared my growing power and sent a large number of their forces to kill me. They may have succeeded, but a great many fell by my hands! Now I shall finish what I started and conquer the Amitrax System and you shall be the tool I will use to accomplish that." Said Pariah Dark.
"How?" Asked Dark Laser.
"Retrieve the Ring of Rage to get the full access to my power. I also sense two young powerful Force users who have a great deal of potential. Sway them to your side and they will aid you in the mission against your enemies and your conquest. You already met them. I will aid you in that pursuit." Said Pariah Dark.
"What about my revenge on Clockwork?" Asked Dark Laser.
"You will have it and more." Said Pariah Dark with a chuckle.
Pariah Dark and the throne room vanished and Dark Laser found himself back in his chambers. Dark Laser removed the crown and looked at it. He had a renewed sense of purpose. Dark Laser needed to get the Ring of Rage to become powerful and get Phantom and Wraith on his side to help him conquer the Amitrax System.
To be continued.
