The Divine Shadow slowly approached, flicking his wrist once more, another sickening snap of bones echoing in the room, followed by another pained howl, Nagala held her limp arm and curled up into a small ball, sobbing in pain as the Shadow approached. "Arrest you? Hardly, I have no intention of doing so." He said, continuing his approach towards the man. "I am simply putting you in your place for disrespecting me and attacking my servant." He said, slowly approaching and closing the distance.

"You must learn that your actions have consequences. So from now on, when you offend me, I will not harm you, but rather..." He then turned to Nagala. "I will harm her."

The Divine Shadow grinned from under his hood. "You will stop offending me, now that this matter is over with." He said, looking to the crippled woman. "You will be burdened with caring for her, as punishment for your insolence. You will take her with you to Terra, and you will care for her. If you can demonstrate your care for that which was once your enemy, she will be allowed to return home, and your world will have proven itself a world that is not filled with mongrels." The Divine Shadow said, a lesson in his task.

"When your world has cared for her, perhaps then, we can be on equal footing. If she dies, your world will never again have this chance." The Shadow explained, gesturing to the door.

"I believe the Ceremony is about to start." He then turned to Kianna, nodding and gesturing for her to accompany him.

The Ceremony had just begun, with the Imperial Military lined up in lock step in the courtyard of Caprica City's government plaza, a large courtyard centered at the doorsteps of the Parliament building, the Quorum, and the towering Imperial Palace.

Aschen banners from across the Empire fluttered in the wind as people gathered to watch the proceedings. Crowds filled the streets, which had been closed for the ceremony. News crews watched with cameras pointed to the large stage where the Shadow sat, Chairman McGregor, or as Austin would know as Count Iblis was also present and accounted for, along with Admiral Inviere, and the entire Aschen admiralty save for Nagala.

A loudspeaker began to blare, echoing through the buildings. "In respect of the Sovereignty of every member state, we ask that you all rise for the playing of the Caprican National Anthem, Followed by the proclamation of the United Aschen Empire!"

After a few moments, the Caprican Anthem began to play. Then after the Anthem, there was silence, as a man with a booming voice called out on the microphone.

"Only a thin Ion barrier separates us from the Chaos of the Dark Zone, the Dark zone is not separate, like two different planets, the Dark Zone coexists in the same space as our Empire, in the same place, at the same time... The Dark Zone has no rules, no sense, no order... We Worship his Shadow, Long may He Reign, and Protect us from the evil that lies within the Dark Zone."

The Divine Shadow sat idly as the proceedings went underway, the Admiralty of a once Democratic Confederation stood now as Imperial Officers in black uniforms, with the crest of the Empire upon peaked caps.

Silently he watched as everything was falling into place. The pleated hood covered his face as he watched Iblis, and then he watched Marshall, but otherwise remained silent.

The Divine Shadow looked up to Darian, and then back to Kianna, and then back up to Darian a moment, his hand gestured ever so subtly at Kianna, then to Darian. Kianna would know that hand gesture all too well. The Shadow, or rather, the Man behind the shadow was making his move.

The Divine Shadow rose to his feet for a moment, quelling the crowd. "There is no greater heresy, then slipping chains on the Empire through deception!" He said, slowly approaching the podium, standing besides Austin and looking out to the Aschen people.

"I promise you freedom from a corrupt regime that my Predecessor erected. I promise you not only freedom, but safety from the specters looming in the Dark Zone!"

The Shadow then slowly turned to Austin. "We have showed Count Iblis our resolve, the culmination of a people's desire to be free from Ori Supremacy." He then turned to Kianna. "My Divine will has sworn to protect me, and the Empire, and she has Carried out that will without a second's hesitation." He pulled the pleated hood back, showing his face to be the former Sire, Mollem McGregor.

The Divine Shadow entered through the door shortly after the robed figure held the door open for it. This figure, unlike the crimson robed figure, had on a black pleated robe that was rather easily identifiable. It was the Divine Shadow himself.

"Another day on this pathetic planet." The figure said, as it stepped besides the other robed figure, observing the happenings in Gambit's Bar.

Slowly his hand gestured over to Vidal and the other Invictus in the room.

"They offend me, render assistance to that woman." He said calmly, gesturing to Ivanna.

"I wish to be amused."

The Divine Shadow slowly approached, gesturing to the young woman in cuffs. "Indeed, this is not technically on Terra, likewise the Militia has no authority here, or anywhere for that matter." He said, hands clasped together and resting in front of him, staring at Preston from behind his own cowl.

"The very existence of the Militia offends me." He added, before he turned to Kianna.

"And their presence makes me feel rather unsafe..." He then turned back to Preston.

"I want to feel safe where I tread."

The Divine Shadow held up his hand in a slight gesture. "That's enough, My divine will." he said, reeling the woman in. "Come, let us enjoy a drink, and never mind these barbarians and heretics." He said, slowly lowering himself into a chair.

"Bring me a glass of Ambrosia, Divine will, and something for yourself, so we may be entertained by these dogs."

The Divine Shadow sipped his drink as he regarded them a moment. "With Count Iblis out of the way, and my true will imposed on the people, we can put fourth plans for a new age of Order." He said, sipping his drink again.

"I want to create a league of twenty thousand planets, and spread order throughout the Galaxy." He said, watching the Invictus, and their friends.

"I want to put an end to petty militias and democratic regimes, Security cannot be kept by ragtag thugs, but a polished and well trained security force. The Black Uniform of the Imperial Guard will be a common namesake. Terra is the last democracy alive- soon it will be no more."

The Divine Shadow looked up, his eyes barely seen in the light. "The Power of Order has destroyed the Coalition, the Power of Order has destroyed the Terran Rebellion, and the Power of Order will destroy the Democratic Terran Government, and it is the last democracy in existence." The Divine shadow said calmly.

Slowly turned his head.

"Is something the matter?"

The Divine Shadow swished the drink around in his glass, inspecting the emerald green liquid as it sloshed around. "I've considered purchasing property here as a vacation home, and having a few thousand acres of land terraformed into a replica of Langaran terrain." He said, looking up.

"I'm thinking of property right on the shore of the Solinus Sea, a thousand acres of compound constructed to my tastes." He then gestured to the Invictus.

"I want to know more about them."

The Divine Shadow rose to his feet for a moment. "Let's return to my temporary home for now." He said, starting out of the bar. "These barbarians offend me, and I wish to surround myself with my subjects."

The Divine Shadow crept his way into the confines of Gambit's Bar. The man was concealed under the folds of his trademark pleated hood. Step by step the familiar figure moved through the bar and surveyed his surroundings.

His Gaze fell upon the patrons in the bar, before he reached back and blatantly stole a bottle of ambrosia from the back of the bar.

"I have no intention of paying heretics for a bottle of Ambrosia." The figure said, brushing the bartender aside before going to his table.

The Divine Shadow looked up from his spot in the bar, face concealed by the pleated hood as he observed the large snowman.

"And who are you to stop me, Snowman?" He said, sloshing the drink in the bottle, then bringing it to his mouth, which was hidden in shadow. A grin concealed by the folds of his cowl, while a black gloved hand gestured subtly.

"Challenge me at your own peril, Savage."

The Divine Shadow looked up at Cryoface, a blank void where his face should be. "Foolish creature, Gods cannot be killed." He said, before he lowered the glass of Ambrosia, setting it upon the table with a dull thunk. "Your very existence offends me, Demon."

He then produced a very familiar silver colored sphere, which clicked and beeped, several blue lights began to flash on the sphere as he rolled it forwards towards Cryoface.

"Your fate is in your hands, Snowman."

At the sound of the gunshot, the Divine Shadow hardly even flinched, his simply slowly turned over to Chet. But he paid the boy no heed, as his gaze went directly back to Cryoface.

There was an ominous silence.

"Your friend has jeopardized his life because of his actions."

The Divine Shadow slowly produced a stopwatch, which began ticking.

The Divine Shadow settled in his seat after Cryoface was promptly deterred by the spherical device. The Shadow wrapped his gloved hands around the sphere, and it found itself back within the folds of the individuals robes.

"Fools." He said, finishing his drink and watching the standoff between CPF and Chet.

"His reckless discharge of a firearm has made me uneasy. I do believe I will rescind the Armistice for his actions unless he is properly detained by Terran authorities."

The Divine Shadow did not leave and was of course, unaffected by the Playing field's effects, the wave of energy washing over a strange distortion, and being pushed back by the strange energies exuded off the cloaked being.

"Perhaps as a direct result of this offense, I will do just that." The Shadow explained, slowly rising to his feet.

"Prepare yourselves, for I am deeply offended."

The Divine Shadow simply stood there and clenched his fists at the power being exerted over his protectors. The Shadow was vulnerable, a state that he did not choose to be in. Shaking in anger, he stared at the lazy men before he growled.

"I will have these men executed for their incompetence!" He roared.

"And then I will blast this pathetic planet into oblivion!"
