Ratep Sentarin, 124 ABY
alley, Travnin


The Jedi Knight stopped dead in his tracks and rolled his eyes when the Imperial Knight spoke. Ratep knew that Imp scoundrel was going to bring up that it was the Empire's business as well. Of course it was. Everything was their business.

However, his ears did perk up when Eydan was finished. He did have a point. The Council would probably bicker for a bit, deciding whether his report was credible or not - something the Council often did to Ratep's reports - and then they would debate who to send. He had argued for a Jedi "quick reaction team" on a couple of occasions but was met with the response that the Jedi was not a military organization. Of course they weren't. If they were, they would've sent more than just him and his padawan, now, wouldn't they?

"A frigate, huh," he muttered. He turned around to face the knight. "Fully loaded? You got troopers with you? I take it you're the only knight. You know what we're dealing with here and it's gonna be above and beyond what your guys have seen, so you better be sure that they're ready."

He started to cross his arms when the pain told him that it wouldn't be a good idea. "So here's the deal. We'll go with you, and you're coming with us. When we get on your ship, you're gonna let me send out a message to the Council for backup anyway because if Force users are involved, they're gonna be interested. I don't care if you tell your Emperor or not. Alright?"

Last Post of Chapter Five: No Trust Among Traitors

Next post will end the Chapter and begin Chapter Six: The End Of Many Things





Shuttle
Leaving Pergitor



Music - U´tek vs. XENLY


The creature jumped up, leaping away from it´s pursuer. But U´tek was faster. Pushing himself of the ground with all fours he intercepted the insect mid-air and slammed it into the ground. The Cathar slashed down to his torso and his nails made a terrible squealing sound as they hit the creature. But they could not pierce the thick chitinous armor of the bug. Beneath U´tek he saw how the head of it suddenly split and it pushed him away. Not very strong U´tek only slided back a few meters, as the creature hurled itself back to it´s feet. His two, now three stings raised for the fight. Hissing. And handicapped by the second version of itself growing out of it´s substance in incredible speed.

It never ended the process. Or exchanged and further attacks with the Cathar as from two sides shots hit it. Spasming it collapsed and it´s torso was burst into two halves as it died with the most inhuman scream.

Talia, who had come from the cockpit and shot it from behind raised her gun immediately to the man behind the cowering U´tek. "What is he doing here?" She asked. Pointing her blaster at Glave.

"Helping." Glave hissed rising his own weapon at Talia, now. He was to fast, or Talia had doubts. She did not push her trigger anyway. And Claven appeared last, seeing the situation and raising his gun at the Cathar. Half animal in it´s appearance now. The elder man crawled his grey beard. "In bed with the Empire? What do you know."

Shuttle

Approaching Ascendancy


Music - Return to the Ascendancy

Kira Romar
listened to the winding tale of Laaxtin Kiar and his fight against the Yarong. And how it had lost it´s first battle in the most dangerous of all battlefields. The Yuuzhan Vong´s soul.

All others leaned back and gave themselves to the silence. Lorj Danathin and Commander Keean discussed the senors data they had collected about the Xenly. Kaya did what she could to repair the minimal damage to their ship. The Anomid seemed restless in the proximity to the Yuuzhan Vong.

After half an hour - as promised - the finally jumped out of hyperspace. Before them, clearly visible, was a small fleet. Selpha Nephrite, sitting next to a window had the best view on them. In it´s center was the Pelleaon-Class Star Destroyer Ascendancy. Only half-illuminated like a visible sign of it´s serious lack of crew. Right next to it a ship about half it´s size of unknown build. It´s transponder signal revealed it´s allegiance, though. The Vulture´s Talon had peacefully flanked the Resistance new home. Surrounded by the three Action X Transports and two squadrons of Predator-Classes, now utilized by the Resistance there was a far stranger, final entry. The Kat´lar. A Yuuzhan Vong ship.



"Looks like we got company." Was all Kaya said about it. And the soldiers raised their brows as if they had trained it. Allies had been dangerous lately.

"This is the Ascendancy. Welcome back, Colonel. Landing path in main-hangar is cleared. General Tahnan is awaiting you there." The male voice on the other side sighed. "Some developments in your absence. Let´s hope you found Romar."

Above the Hive
Asteroid Alpha, Mestra-Field


this is actually LordTroepfchen´s post, updated by me for effect

Music - Enter the Dark

There was long moment of silence. When the world seems to stand still. Then the pain arrived.

With force.

The bolts of hatred crawled into Tenk Qatar´s skull and made his world explode in pain. Even as restraint as it was his body found the space to give itself into a series of spasms as it was painfully charged with dark energy. The cybernetic eyes send sparkles out, as it was destroyed. But far worse was a organic eye. The nerves helpless at the DarK Jedi´s mercy screamed in pain and then died. Gone forever.

With a wave of his hand Hoole deactivated the energy-field right beneath Tenk Qatar. "Enough time wasted on you. I´ll let XENLY do the talking." Hoole snared and a second wave of his hand deactivated the restraints and Tenk Qatar´s blinded body feel into the dark beneath.

Darkness was all he saw anyway.

The Hive

Music - The Hive speaks

Si touched the dark insect. It´s dark armor cold. His head not anymore recognizable as the species he once had been. His hands degenerated to long stings. Glowing blue, as they were touched. The Xenly stared at him. Giving this clacking sound.

GM-Reminder: [link=http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?s=0fe3241b6ade1c3032ddfec8ae1fc154&attachmentid=56999&stc=1&d=1164991508]XENLY[/link ] how they look in the Legacy Era.


The Chistori Vur behind him watched it, surrounded by the small creatures. And finally he couldn´t take it anymore. Being pushed around. Being not feared. He would teach them to fear him again. Without any warning he raised his fist and slammed it into Si Kya´s back. Before the young man collapsed, Vur was already on the ground. A dozen stings piercing his flesh. He screamed in pain and even more Xenly jumped down from above and covered him. He was ripped apart, while Si tried to get up. One of the creatures was above him nowhere. "Si!" The Professor shouted but had to back away from his protege as a dozen creatures separated them.

XENLY. Knows. YOU.

The word echoed in Si´s mind and a sudden pain filled his heart . . .

A lightsaber had pierced it, but not his chest but the one of a Verpine. Pain as the blue blade burned his heart. And fear. His childer, his childer . . . looking up he saw kneeling before you Kira . . . no . . . a woman almost looking like a younger Kira Romar. She had stabbed him. And he . . . loved her for that . . .

It had been a flesh. A splitsecond. Unable to hold it, to dive into this thought without the force it had been all Si could see. Now the Xenly were gone. The remains of Mayor Vur lay not too far away and The Professor knelled over a body that lay near them. A man, obviously in agony, was lying there. "Qatar! It´s the Jedi!" The Professor shouted. He had landed right next to them, from wherever he had come and obviously scared the Xenly away with that surprise.

"Help me Si, he is hurt!"

IC: Tenk Qatar
Asteroid Alpha

"I´ll show you. Tenk Qatar. I´ll show you what I have in store for the galaxy. And your precious wife and her friends."


Talia?

At that, Tenk's eye widened just a bit, turning a bit more to fully face Hoole. With the way Hoole had spoken just now, about his wife and her friends...did he mean what he thought he meant?

Talia. She-

Unfortunately the movements he just made allowed Hoole to have an easier time at attacking both his working and non-working eyes. It was pain that Tenk was familiar with, when he had first lost his one eye to the lightning from Petra Tarkin...and magnified ten fold. It was the kind of pain that just numbed him to everything else that he was doing; screaming, fighting against his restraints. All there was, was that mind-numbing pain that attacked not just his eyes but his whole head.

Even with that pain, however, one word still managed to pierce through it all. Managed to echo within his own mind, somehow not being enveloped by the pain.

LIIIVVVEEESSS!

Tenk wasn't sure if he had managed to scream out the word verbally as well as mentally. But even with the pain that seemed to go on forever, the word still managed to echo at some point within his mind; barely a whisper now but Tenk could hear it. One little whisper within the storm of pain.

It didn't make everything less painful of course. The only reason that the pain disappeared was because Hoole finally stopped with his assault. In it's place: exhaustion. Where there had once been mind-numbing pain there was now numbing exhaustion. Limbs were slack, head lolled to the side, thoughts came scattered and incomplete. Not only could he now not see anything but he couldn't hear whatever else Hoole was saying, not with his consciousness slipping away.

Tenk thought he had felt like he was falling sometime later, but that had been the last thing he felt before his consciousness finally slipped away.

Lives. She lives.

The feelings he detected - shock, amazement, and others - were what told him of the miracle that just happened instead of the sudden beep of the machines, signaling a life that started up again. And he could sense it too. Having strived to find some sign, any sign, it was suddenly there like the beep that now sounded.

He didn't remember how he got to the table, but he was there, having stumbled over in a daze. He was there just as she finally stirred, another sign of life, and slowly, ever so slowly, she opened her eyes. Unfocused at first, she slowly blinked once, then twice, and finally they moved just so they now locked with his.

Lived. She
lived.

The tears came back, another wave that slid down his cheeks. He couldn't speak at first, his tightened throat not allowing him to. Instead he just leaned down and, carefully, his arms folded around her as he held her, still crying.

"I'm sorry," he managed to choke out. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

There was no reply at first. But slowly, ever so slowly, he felt one arm, and then another soon after, come around his own shoulders as she held him in return.


Tenk didn't know how long he had been out, but he knew he was awake, with how he became conscious once again. And the pain. The pain was still there. The burning that encompassed his entire skull but was most focused at his eye sockets.

There was noise too. It sounded like someone was talking but it seemed all garbled...lost to Tenk.

"Lp e i....e is hurt."

The last two words he caught, but despite the sudden clarification Tenk had no idea where the words were coming from. Everything just felt...out of whack, for lack of a better description. His body hadn't gotten over the shock just yet, his sense of....everything seeming to be off. When once the voice sounded like it was so far away it was now so very close.

But he couldn't see that of course. Only darkness.

Kira Kara Romar
Approaching the Ascendancy


The tale of Laaxtin Kiar was one of terror and corruption. The Yuuzhan Vong had been aware of Xenly, too. As had the Jedi and Sith been. But Myrkr had made the Vong act, where the others had been passive. Caught in their own games of power and tragedy.

Yet the Yuuznan Vong, the almost extinct race so hated by the galaxy had send a mission to save the galaxy. The irony was so thick, it was almost too much. Even worse was how it had turned out. The Darkside had corrupted their people. Through good intentions, like Quin Vos had them. Who had ultimately, from what she could figure out, introduced the so called "Prophetess" to the darker aspects of the force. And through ambition. Like the Prophetess herself, who seemed to be obsessed by her destiny. Much like I once have been . . .

Xenly had taken her. All the weakness much had been such an easy point of entry into her damaged soul. And now Vong-shaper were probably working on him. Perfecting him. In the terrible sense in which Xenly would understand the words . . .

The Vong had needed a Jedi. Someone who knew the dangers of the Dark Side. Instead they had been found by renegade Sith.

Kira had entered the cockpit once they had arrived at the Ascendancy. She had felt the presence of the other two ships nearby. And she knew this was where it all began. The End. Her end, if the vision turned out to be true. When she saw the Yuuzhan Vong ship she only sighed. "Let me guess, it is the Katlar." She asked. Looking to Kiar. Then to Commander Keean. "Tell Colonel Tahnan we´re here. I need to talk with him. And hopefully they know by now where I can find Hoole."

Shuttle, Approaching Ascendancy

Grunting he turned his head to look out the window, "I would say, but it is the only possibility. At least if I die I should be able to take her to the Gates screaming the entire way." he hissed out.

Of course who this her was was no secrete as he idly touched the Yorrik encased Sith weapon. "I wish the two Jeidai that helped drive a traitor and Siath Master to her death and a fleet to it's ruin by my side were here." he sighed these words out as much an after thought as a past one, which of course begot his next. To wonder how many times he had wished for those two Jedai's aid over the interveaning years.

To many times.

Was it the weariness that now seemed to fill his soul, his very eternal core that made him thus?

He didn't know, except that he felt much as he had thought that this might have been how Nas Choka had felt before his death. Had he known that in the end he might not feel the sweetness of killing the enemy but rested in the sweetness of just knowing that what he had done would bring it about? That his last order and act would cause it to come?

Perhaps...it was the only reasoning he came up with as he waited for them to cross from one abomination to another, more familiar one.

Perhaps

Kira Kara Romar
Shuttle approaching the Ascendancy


She looked at Kiar. A Yuuzhan Vong. The Jedi had once defeated them and then tried to help them to find a way into galactic society. The terrible result was the war. The purge. The Sith rule.

"You know who they were? I guess they could pretty well be dead by now, but . . . well, I am afraid I am all you got. Believe me, I wished it was not that way." She smiled.

Wished somebody else could die in my place . . .

Do you?
Zorn´s voice asked. in her head, but so loud she almost hurled arond in the cockpit. She had wished to die always since her husband had been taken from her. Now that she faced death, she seemed to regret it.

"Announce my gueasts, too." She said to the shuttle pilot and turned back to go to the landing ramp. She had the feeling Tahnan would await her.

A friend.

Not many left.

Not many, indeed.

IC: Selpha Nephrite
Shuttle


Selpha didn't really pay too much attention to the scarhead's story, instead focusing mostly on herself and her weapons. She didn't need to ponder too much as to how Hoole and the Xenly came into existence, just how to kill them. Why tell a tale when you can just go ahead and end it?

Her shoulder feeling better now that the bacta had time to take effect, Selpha slammed in two fresh beskar shells into her PK02, holstered it, and then unholstered her Iviin and slapped a fresh clip to that weapon as well. It was then that they dropped out of hyperspace and the Mandalorian woman managed to get a nice, good look at what awaited them. The Ascendancy was there if that was indeed what the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer was. There was another ship that wasn't familiar to her, but Selpha figured that that was part of the resistance. But the other...a Yuuzhan Vong ship.

Retrieving her helmet, Selpha slid it over her head, clipping it in place before getting back to her feet once it looked like they were about to disembark.

Shaper Laaxtiin Kiar
Shuttle, Approaching Ascendancy

He sighed, a most uncharacteristic thing for a Yuuzhan-Vong, Shaper, Warrior, or Intendant class. He had done so before at the prospects of battle, at death, the most notable in his mind from the previous conversation was when he had been about to fight and kill that Siath Master and Vong-traitor of Chaos.

Now he had another deserving of such an insult as to be called Vong...another he was sworn to irradicate. Another promise to fullfill, but as the time waxed by and he drew nearer to his own standing at the Gate's he knew...irrevocably he knew that with each trial his help and companions grew fewer and eventually...

Eventually he would be the only one standing...and then he would die...accept that third gift in solitude. Bereft of friends, surrounded by strangers and enemies that would have no clue how to care for or display his bones...that would not care to do that even for an honorable opponent.

"Remove the flesh and save the bones. Decorate them to reflect the visage he last held before death and set them up...I will return to finish the task when our enemies lie dead." he spoke to those that he knew would take Uhl's body.

Knowing full well the words he spoke likely would never come to fruition...another task promised merely for something to remain for after...a flimsy hope where none resided to be able to honor the fallen and pass their story before he was unable...

Unable to find joy

In a victory.

U'tek
shuttle leaving Pergitor

Of course his claws couldn't penetrate their outer shell, the cathar thought as he looked at the grotesque body - make that bodies - of the bug.

Somewhat surprisingly he was standing still, quickly calming down from his primal outburst against the monster to ready himself against the new threat. Calm, but angry. Talia was pointing a gun at his new Imperial comrade. It wasn't that obvious that Glave was an Imperial, so Talia's actions just made U'tek even more suspicious of her motives.

On top of that, the old man that took away Romar to that Vulture a week ago was with Talia and was now pointing a firearm at him. The fact that this lackey of the Vulture knew that Glave was an Imperial didn't surprise him. With that logic, Talia should know as well.

U'tek's mind was made up. No more getting jerked around by anyone. Talia was going to be subdued or killed. He could care less about the old man.

He looked over his tattered trench coat, his sleeves now ripped at the seems after his pounce. He still had his silenced slugthrower pistol at his side and contemplated reaching for it. He decided that the action would be a little too risky at the moment. Instead, it was an appropriate time to play some mind games, but he left his hand at his side in the event he had to grab his gun.

"Talia," he began in a confident voice, "I never knew you very well since I joined the Ranger. You never seemed comfortable with the life of a resistance fighter. But a traitor." He paused for emphasis. "I never had you pegged as that. Especially someone who has a Jedi knight for a spouse."

He turned very slowly so that he could face all three individuals.

"How you know that this human male is a Imperial doesn't surprise me. But what does surprise me, Talia, is that not only did you abandon me, a fellow member of the Alliance, but you also abandoned your husband down there. You obviously had more important obligations to fulfill. And in such times it is when one finds the most unlikely of alliances. Yes, he is an Imperial, and yes, we did try to kill each other in the past, but we have realized that we are not so different in an important way - we don't care to see the galaxy die at the hands of maniacs that happen to have your husband. We intend to stop them, and we will save your husband. That is, unless you have other plans for us, which would be unfortunate. You know that a SpecForce officer is the right pick for a rescue, and now throw in an storm commando on top of that. And don't forget about everyone else. You never seemed one for the death of trillions upon trillions.

"So I'm giving you one last chance to pick sides, Talia. Are you Alliance? Or are you working for the selfish goals of the Vulture? I doubt he cares about getting your husband back."

U'tek was ready to dodge and shoot the old man, but Talia's response was going to decide it all.

Hyperspace
The Rimma Trade Route


Music - Xenly is spreading and spreading and spreading . . .

It were thousands of ships, hidden among hundreds of thousands of freighters and small vessels. They had waited above Karideph for days and watched the planet being eaten alive. Now the traders of the Minos Cluster were eager to get their loads and their ships into the wider galaxy. And asfar away from Karideph as possible.

Nobody realized how many droid controlled ships were among them. Nobody cared.

And soon the first droids began to adjust courses. Rimma 3 was the first planet to report an attack. Clak´Dor and Elrood followed within´hours. from there it began to spread. Like the droidfreighters spread. Some were intercepted, some got lost. But most of Hoole´s 4000 transports reached their destination. And unloaded their deadly cargo.

After two centuries hidden and imprisoned in the caves of the Mestra-Asteroids Xenly was now free. And the galaxy was his hunting ground.

And Xenly was a hungry hunter.

Six hours after Karideph had been liberated over a thousand planets were infested.

Between Pergitor and the Ascendancy


Music - Leaving Pergitor

"You dammit fool!" Talia shouted at U´tek. Then she looked at Claven and waved her hand. Hesitating the bearded man lowered his gun. Talia ignored him. "You wanna know how badly I´ve betrayed you, U´tek? Oh I can tell you! I can tell you THAT! Do you feel the air in your lungs? That´s air you´re breathing because of the Vulture! Who warned us over the last motn where the Empire awaited us, hm? Who paid for that Info? Tahnan? The Resistance? Who gave us spare-parts? Who did the intelligence on Gesaril!? Who brought us a new ship when our old one was destroyed, hm? Who? The Vulture! The Resistance send me there. You send me there. To make a deal. To save us. And hell I DID! And I paid with the only thing the Vulture get´s paid with! Servitude! Loyality! I killed for you. I lied for you. All I wanted was to keep you save and get my husband BACK!" She breathed heavy. Wiping the tears from her eyes. "Commandos? Special Forces? Oh U´tek, you do not even know where to look for him? You do not even know how to reach him? What do you do to save my husband? Begin recon-runs? Analyse sensor data? Or just get there guns blazing trying to overrun a man who has killed civilisations before your parents were born? no, we will need help. And guess who will give it to us!?" She nodded. "The Vulture!"

Turning to the Cockpit she sighed. "But you can judge me, if you want. You´re just taking what he offers and leave it to me to pay the prize."

She went away and Claven, raising his brows followed her. His eyes showed disgust for the two soldiers. "I officially hate her." Glave said to U´tek. And sat back in the passenger seat.

In the aft part they could hear Talia crying.

Ascendancy
Hangar


Music - Return Home

The shuttle sat down and they could General Tahnan, newly promoted, in his black uniform. Accompanied by thirty-five men security. No other Vong. No men of the Vulture, so far.
All that was left from the security was there, though. The ramp went down and Commander Keean left first. His men surrounding Shaper Kiar, Kira Romar and Selpha Nephrite in their midst. The young Mandalorian saw that the men awaiting them had armed weapons. And she knew the look of these men. They had seen to many battles. But a life more or less wouldn´t matter to them.

Tahnan, a large Falleen, now pale to the point were he was harldy green and walking on a stick embraced Kira Romar. "Good to have you back." He sighed. And turned his head up to Lorj Danathin. "Good job, Colonel. Good job." He said and that was the moment a blaster shot was heard. A stun-shot to be precise.

They had taken no risk. Professionals. They had killed for years now. Had left their prey no chance to react or fight. Shaper Kiar was hit into his neck. The load of the stunshot paralyzing him immediately. Then his consciousness began to fade fast. The Falleen officer Tahnan gave him the cold but tired look only a Falleen could give someone and clapped Kira Romar on her shoulder. "The man collaborates with the Sith." He said and sighed. "We are in an alliance with his former comrades." He explained.

"Selpha Nephrite?" Came a voice from the other side of the assembly. A young man stood there. Nagai. "There is someone who wishes to talk to you, Ma´am. If you would follow me, please?"

Shaper Laaxtiin Kiar
Ascendancy, Hanger

Walking down that ramp he took in the expansive hanger, paying little mind to the honor guard that flanked their descent. He had rarely had the privilage to see something so utterly dead in all his days, even the warriors that stood at attention in the Hanger awaiting to meet them reaked of death...

And not the usual good way of dealers, although the scent of that certainly clung to them, but largely as those already dead. Yet unable to leave their corpses behind and head to the Gate to be Judged, or merely rejected and without the sense to loose their way.

Feeling the partial betrayal his maa'it eyes the epitomi of death clouded over, he stared in facet wonder having long supposed forms of betrayal from any 'ally'. All he had to do was think it, send an impulse secondary and it would stop it, he wondered if he should as his body began crumpling to the floor.

He could feel the bo'tus tightening in his lungs, his shaper's hand twitched, his amphistaff uncoiled partway 'dancing' over his inert form hissing, his whipsting gurgled and slurped at his waist, and his vonduum crab armor clicked slightly as the legs holding his mouth open began to tighten before twisting forcing his slack mouth wide open...

All he had shaped formed the first notes of an uulub symphany of death, and he wondered if he was the only to hear these notes as the tightness formed at the edge of his chest...something he knew would soon become a tight fast squezz in the center.

Darkness began to cloud in, and still he had not sent that impulse. Then as it began to obscure his vision he let the thought go free...Yun-Ne'Shel's Jedai

Then he knew no more as all quieted back down, the pressure passed, and the galaxy and Gates spun madly away from their gathering.

Though never out of sight.

Even without sight they lingered at the edges of his mind.

For whom...?

Me...

Or...

You...

ooc: Only a short one to celebrate my day in colore . . .

Kira Kara Romar
Aboard the Ascendancy


The embrace by the weakened Tahnan almost made her cry. She could feel his diminishing lifeforce and his weakness he was not ready to show his men. Or anyone. She knew. And he knew she did. But there was something else, too. Cold dedication. She knew he was about to strike. She had fought at his side. And before she could even open her motuh she heard the shot. And felt the shock of those around Kiar as he collapsed.

So hard to know who´s with you and who is not, right? Zorn´s voice seemed to honestly regret this. Kira did not answer him. She did not feel saddness. But a strong sense of deja vu was here.

"The man collaborates with the Sith." Tahnan said with a low voice and looked at her.

Kira nodded. It wasn´t that easy. But she realized the scene. She had seen it beforei n her vision. The imprisoned Vong. And her. It was beginning. The pieces were falling into place. One by one. Her death was approaching . . .

"It is not that easy, Tahnan. It is not that easy." She whispered and allowed the guards to carry him away. Then she looked at Selpha Nephrite. Someone was about to call her. Kira stepped towards her and smiled. "I will safe Mandalore. I promise." she said and smiled trying not to look sorry. They would never see each other again. Then she turned to General Tahnan. "We must talk." She only said and left. Knowing he would follow.

IC: Si Kya
Asteroid Alpha

Si felt the blade pierce his chest - their chest - and he pulled back his hand, blinking. Not in any emotion, but simply confusion. No - understanding. He had context, the Professor's knowledge, between them, they could unravel the mystery of the Xenly...

Then Vur hit him, and Si fell, rolling into what would become a bruise and accepting it. His eyes opened, and he watched as the Xenly tore apart the Chistori. There was little else he could do. A thud rang out, and the Xenly, startled, fled, their touch on his mind ebbing - making Si feel nearly lonely, for a moment - no, not lonely... Si wondered what he was missing.

It was mingled with the feelings of the Xenly, with his own, but it was so very clear...

Kira...

Si missed Kira.

He felt a ripple of emotion, a surge of something warm and at the same time incredibly dangerous.

Especially down here.

When Si had given up all he was to survive...

Had he thrown away something he never realised he had?

But then Trasc called out, and Si, his eyes more adapted to the immense darkness, came over to the man who Si recognised as Tenk Qatar - wounded, severely.

"Help me Si, he is hurt!"

Si came down to Tenk's side, wincing absently at the cut on his leg as ever, and found Tenk, gone, so far gone, rolling on the floor in pain and terror - no, not just terror... The student grabbed Tenk, feeling the pain in his hands, even as he used the misshapen stump of his hand to pin down Tenk, and he used his still burnt hand to hold at one of his wrists. Si, holding down Tenk, spoke coldly, carefully.

"Tenk, it's me. Si. You need to calm down. The Xenly feed on emotions. You must understand that. You need to stay calm, before they come back... my Professor is here, too." Si looked up at the old man. "Professor, you never told me... you told me the dark side corrupted a Verpine named Xenly - but you never told me..."

Si paused, taking a breath, understanding something so vague and impossible that it couldn't be - that it made no sense at all. That it was so impossible that it could only be true.

"Did Xenly turn the dark side by choice, Trasc?"
