Cobalt Edge Defense Fleet's Story

The ship was indeed aloud to find a docking spot within the hauls of the Eclipse but not as it wished or by the command of the figure who controlled it. A single high powered Tractor beam came into play containing the ship and preventing any of the spread of inky black veins from ever extending and several Crimson Legion officers stood at the ready with ion weapons in hand. Regardless of how the figure stepped out of the ship she would find that her very presence upon the floor of the hanger would almost seemingly repel her very nature preventing anything from coming off of her or from within as force adepts in silver masks worked their unseen magic upon the unknown beings body to prevent contamination. The Council might have officially been no more but unofficially Mars Corp. and Darth Mor continued to work hand in hand over the comings and goings of technology and information.

A single silver masked force adept stepped forward and offered a modest bow to the unknown being only to silently gesture for the woman to follow him as he would guide her along with his coterie to their master. The unseen force would not be easily dissipated and it seemed almost permanent if the woman tried to remove the affects as if there was something else aboard the ship that controlled the very nature of such a power. Once the group exited the hanger several more of the Crimson Legions forces would prepare equipment to scan the vessel and a few more bits of shield technology that would be set up around the ship which produced a triangle of blue energy that enveloped around it in order to prevent the spread of any of what the vessel was composed of.

Darth Mor simply shook his head at his guests and poured himself another glass while he waited. "I am rather regretful of what is to befall us." The Sith Lord downed another glass only to sit back down allowing the force to flow through him and around his ship to fortify what was rightfully his. "Our latest guests is the one who you have marked down as a murderer i'm afraid. It seems that she wishes to speak with me." The Emperor laughed only to rub the side of his skull and brush past one of his scars. "I will speak with the thing but know that I will not bend a knee to it or allow it to go unpunished for the crimes it has committed. No, I doubt I could ever allow what has occurred to go without a good reason for it, I will make sure that it knows full well that it cannot hold any ground that I have claimed." Mor began to shake his head as he looked at them all. "Not a single soul or thing in this multiverse can take away from me what I truly own. Those who passed from our world belong to me and I shall not allow death to continue to hunt in my territory any longer." Mor simply pressed a single button upon his chair and began to lean back. He now awaited for his other apprentice to arrive so that he could act and finish this foolish plot before it could advance any further. "A'ata and Aleron, I do hope you both contain yourself while I do the talking. That goes double for you Mr. Succorso. I expect things from what I have seen to go my way from now on."

The Cobalt Edge Defense fleet's guns returned to rest just before the Eclipse would have intersected their line of fire. A'ata, Aleron, and Nick had all took a seat. While Nick offered Mor a nod of recognition the two CONCORD members just sat in their seats, anger and pain in their eyes.

Once everything had been taen care of, and Aiyanna was escorted to where she would meet with Darth Mor, things would slowly begin to unfold.

The doors to Mor's Chambers, conference room, or wherever the meeting was being held slid open to reveal the feared Aiyanna-A. The machine stood there in silence, clad in her ornate outfit as she stepped forward.

Her footsteps sounded heavy for a woman of her stature, her lips parted to speak. Her voice once again speaking in Iambic cadence.

"Now the gate has been unlatched..." She approached the table further.

"Headstones pushed aside... corpses shift and offer room." She added, lowering herself into a chair, should one be provided. "A fate you must abide..." She said, staring Mor directly in the eyes.

"From end to end of this galaxy, most are blinded!" She said, narrowing her eyes. "Are you?" The last two spoken words did not have their Iambic cadence, and were a direct challenge to the sith lord.

The Emperor simply sat in his seat as the newest guest arrived. She seemed to have the audacity to take a place at his own table but had little to no idea as to what will and how it would occur for her departure. It was infuriating to know that this thing presented itself once again before a member of the Council and the death and destruction it had caused was only more evident that it needed to be destroyed from the very existence of space and time itself. The thing spoke in riddles and Mor frowned as he poured himself another glass.

"You sit before you demise you wretch. I suggest you watch yourself before I put you into your place." The Emperor retorted at her comments while he simply pushed his seat back and glared at the abomination for an automaton. Upon the Eclipse Mor was in control and his mind fell into the hearts of his own men who wore their featureless masks. "Do you truly think I can turn a blind eye to the deaths of my subjects let alone the rape of countless worlds with unfathomable lives being lost?"

The room itself felt like it was shifting slightly as the force worked its power throughout the room and electrical jolts jumped from finger to finger from the Mor's hands only to die down as he clenched them both into tight white knuckled fists. Several of the force adepts that had accompanied Aiyanna-A began to reach for their deactivated sabers while another turned her head to spot a large hatted man walk by from outside the hall. It was upon further investigation that she found the elderly fellow had vanished so she returned with a shrug to the meeting room.

"Speak plainly before I remove you from this cruel world you traverse." It was the Emperor's final command as he continued to glare at the stain that had disgraced his ship.

The Android grinned, her almost perfect teeth glinting in the light of the ship.

"Were it so easy..." She said, placing her hands on the table, and staring directly at Mor as reality itself seemed to bend and warp around her. The force would become non-existent in this immediate bubble that surrounded the Android.

She continued to stare at Mor as she continued to allow her hands to rest on the table, which it's material seemed to ripple like water, as the reality bubble extended outwards.

The table itself began to transmute, rippling and cracking under the sheer power of the Android's manipulation. Any attempts to stop or inhibit the Transmutation would be met with either a sudden and powerful feedback delivered directly into the user's mind, no matter how adept, or a shorting out of any technical means to stop the transmutation.

"Your power is nothing compared to mine..." She seemed to let out a strange roar, as the table stopped rippling, and a small Sentinel seemed to rise out of the Material.

It made no hostile moves, merely crawled around on the table, before it transmuted into solid quartz in front of the Sith lord, and sat there, frozen in time, and frozen in stone.

"There is much talk, and I have listened, through rock and metal and time. Now I shall talk, and you shall listen." She said, her voice reverberating upon the fabric of reality itself.

Though the force worked it's way around the room, it seemed to find itself unable to penetrate the bubble that the Android had erected around them.

"I have subjugated but one planet in your little refuge, and even then the assimilation is not complete... There is still time to stop the inevitable, but first you must take heed and listen..."

She them made a hand gesture, a small black crystal forming in her hand.

"I am a timeless chorus. Join your voice with mine, and sing victory everlasting." She said, closing her hand and consuming the crystal within.

"Or you will be food; nothing more..."

The Sith Emperor remained silent and listened to the foul abomination. The large hatted wizard that passed by did not stay to observe the transmutation and so he could not interfere. The woman spoke of wielding true power and yet she had little to no idea of what Mor had in store. He and his masked force adepts felt the presence that she gave off but it would not stop any of them from using their training to the fullest.

"I have more options on the table than what you are revealing." Mor added as the sound of several sabers activated behind Aiyanna-A. The masked men and women who blocked the entryway began to surround the woman and each one focused their own abilities to prevent the force neutral bubble from even forming. She may not have realized it but taking and using the powers of the Force was a fickle thing and in the long run one should know that erecting such a power would need lots of training.

"The core fleet is coming to aid my vessels and the soldiers who stood against you not to long ago." Mor began to chuckle without regret as he looked to the others in the room. "You threaten a beast more vile and dangerous than what you initially calculated for. Do you not realize the strings I have already pulled to make the future pull into motion before me?"

The saber wielding force adepts held themselves at the ready and some would fall to their knees at the feedback from Aiyanna but their attempt would not fail. Mor himself reached out and lifted the quartz before the android and smiled as it shattered before her into several small pieces.

"No I am afraid my dear child that here within my halls I am the one who shall speak and you will be the one to listen." Mor snapped his fingers and those adepts who still stood raised their hands up towards the tainted woman only to contain her once more. "Now leave my ship and return to your damned vessels. Know that we will come to remove you and that I will be the one to personally extinguish your petty existence." The Sith Emperor turned his back from the android and his force adepts moved in to remove the filth from the meeting room. "A pity I suppose. If you would have watched that tongue we might have been able to discuss the terms of your surrender a bit more."

In the hanger a ship would be seen landing and several troopers in Titan Power Armor would step out along with Victor Bespalov who led his men. "We are to make sure that the ship leaves in peace. I do not care if our ships target the fucking thing once it leaves the Eclipse." Each of the men nodded as several of the Crimson Legion made their rounds while others made sure that the ship that the monster arrived in was still locked down with tractor beams and the strange pyramid shielding that held it in place.

All things end in time. There is no thing eternal or immortal not touched by time's scythe and ushered into mortality and the dark eventually. - Arden

Deep in the firmament floated two standing upon each others' heels and drifting in the cold void without care. Each was concealed in flowing cloth, black and white or white and black. One held a sword down to his feet and the other held a spear. They were insignificant, invisible, undetectable, and unimportant as they watched from afar. They were naught but shadows. The man sung a single line and only his partner heard him. "♫Tóg mé síos go dtí an cuar abhainn.♫" The sword and spear vibrated as if the singing had awoken them. The woman sung as if in reply but neither the song or the vibrating weapons effected any change. "♫Tóg mé síos go dtí an deireadh troid.♫"

Silence fell between them once more and they were still as if sleep had taken them again...

Perhaps the Android didn't have an idea the full extent of Mor's power, but perhaps Mor was finding himself completely unaware of the sheer power the Android commanded at her fingertips.

She sat there at the other edge of the table, her expression remained almost an eerie neutral.

"You are a powerful individual, Darth Mor, you control the power of the force and harness it as your own..." She said, her eyes focusing ever so slightly.

"But the force is bound by the laws and facts of the Universe." She said, barely moving her head to the side, as the activated light-sabers likely began to short out. Exploding in the hands of the Adepts in a shower of sparks. This was not force energy but it seemed to be something far different.

The very elemental composition of the Light-sabers began to change, and moments passed and the gasses in the lungs of the Force Adepts were altered on an elemental scale, changing from the mix of oxygen and nitrogen, to hydrogen fluoride gas, and ultimately hydroflouric acid. This would likely cause the men's insides to liquefy as acid began to course through their blood.

"You may control the force, but the universe itself bends a knee to my will." She said, holding out her hands as she suddenly vanished. The Calx had transmuted itself to Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, with some latent energies moving through everything. The ship met the same fate, evaporating in a plume of white smoke, and then nothingness.

Aiyanna's voice slowly rang through Mor's Chamber, and the halls of the ship.

"Arrogant creatures! Your deaths will be instantaneous, while we shall suffer the progress of infinitude!" Her voice rang.

"You may be a beast most vile and momsterous, but I am the Deux Ex Machina, I am god!" The voice reverberated about the ship like a clap of thunder, and both Aiyanna and her ship would be gone, as the latent energies that held the transmuted elements together dissipated.

Somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy
Sector 0000
Zero-One Unicomplex

The dark and mechanical halls of the Zero-One Unicomplex seemed to be devoid of any sort of life, with various Machines moving to and fro their duties. However inside a large throne room a single being was seated, with the Android knelt before him.

"I have delivered your message, and await your instructions, my master..." The Android's Prime body said, as she looked up to him. "I swear my fealty to you, Count Iblis..."

The being nodded ever so slightly, a human avatar of a much greater, much more evil power.

"They are the remnants of the Council, withdraw your forces from their systems, they must seem to win this day, I will set things in motion that will lead to the inevitable weakening and clash that will overwhelm even their mightiest defenses." The being said.

"Journey to Terra and recover a series of magical artifacts." Iblis said. "I require these artifacts to further cement my power here. You must then journey to the Aschen Empire, and secure the Sangraal, and your Primary personality fragment, meld with these so that you may slay the mightiest of gods that oppose our dominion."

Iblis then grinned a wicked grin, before he spoke.

"Leave the Crimson Legion to me.."

The Android promptly offered a bow, and then turned to leave.

So it all ways came down to war. Each of the force adepts would fall to their knees and parish and Mor would gaze upon the now missing droid and her death she left with no emotion other than what he had brought to the table. "Get your ships ready." It was the command of an Emperor who left his meeting room and towards his own personal chambers. Several more orders found their way into the hands of each high ranking officer and with that the full armada of The Crimson Legion began to move as a whole.

Victor Bespalov began to smile as the shielding around the ship shrank down destroying the mass into nothingness as its mass feed the shields power at this point. "Men once we are done here get back to the Frost Rifter! We need to contact all former Council troops and force their hands. We are going to war." Victor began to cheer and laugh knowing full well he would see familiar faces once again joining the fray. The Eclipse itself began to run its own diagnostic checks for any residual energy left by the abomination and the Council A.I. that was aboard the ship worked at full capacity.

Nothing would get in the way of Emperor Mor and even if this did act as a minor setback there would be little to nothing to prevent him from proceeding with his future plans.

The ship activated the gate and exited the system that Choi currently occupied.

Time: YC123
Region: Cobalt Edge
Constellation: 5ZAB-N
System: J-QOKQ (INHIBITOR)
Security Level: -0.32
Sovereignty: The Crimson Legion

A few minutes later and the single CONCORD corvette came into the system where the Cobalt Edge Defense Fleet maintained their blockade. A moment later and the corvette was on the 9-7SRQ gate. On this gate there was a truly massive fleet. The tower had been set up. All different sizes of guns aimed at the gate, ready to destroy whatever came through it.

When the corvette came onto the grid with this fleet the space around it vibrated three times. The rumble would be felt throughout the system. The Cobalt Edge fleet parted their ranks as the shimmering space ship moved through. Information was exchanged in the form of video logs and combat recordings. Combat data from the battleships that had engaged the zero-one force were transmitted and reviewed. After a very brief time the corvette vanished into a sphere of lensed space, the gate flashed and released a bolt of searing light in the direction of a distant star. The Cobalt Edge Defense Fleet approuched the gate but did not jump through. CONCORD had entered 9-7SRQ, Zero-One occupied space.

The Cobalt fleet approached the gate now but did not jump through.
