Derrick kept watch over Kimison as Mary started his handling. Derrick knew all too well what was needed to break the hold that all the fear and pain held on him. She was barely into the scratch line of the procedure when Derrick felt him tense up ; looking up a here and now later she motioned me close.

'' I am afraid that I have need of your help sire his judgement is as stiff as yours it will require two Energy to break the delay of the paranoia that has a grasp on him. '' I nodded as I moved closer,"Lie down over there father, recall while you are inside that nothing is material and can hurt you. The paradigm you see are just that and only the memories of his mind."

'' I will do my best Mary, '' lying down Derrick closed his eyes and was suddenly standing above the abyss that was Kimison 's mind.

'' Alright we are starting down, '' Mary told him as they started to come. All around there was cypher but chaos Derrick had a tactile sensation that his mind had been almost as bad, but somehow he 'd keep back a dependable handle on it. Madonna touched his arm and pointed to a spot where the topsy-turvydom was nonexistent. landing, Derrick looked around recognizing where they were, it had been one of the worst missions that they had been on.

Suddenly there was a shout and Derrick and Mary turned to see a wild looking, red eyed glowing 8 ft tall something that Derrick could only describe it as a wildcat. `` So you 've come back you son of a kick, '' the deep voice of it snarled. `` in effect I need something to carve the hell up, seeing as you 're the one that put us in this hell ! '' With that the number lunged at Derrick with what looked to be a 4 base bayonet. Slashing at Derrick the beast that was sounding more and more like Kimison started to roar in ire when the artillery only went through him.

Calmly Derrick just smiled at him, `` What in the hell are you smiling at, you ass rub ! After I kill you all this will be prophylactic then you ca n't take away the solely safe billet he has ! Die ! You have to die ! ''

Blessed Virgin could only stare at Derrick by doing cypher he was in fact helping more than she thought he could have. Nodding to Derrick, he grabbed Kimison 's arms as The Virgin began to slow up the chaos. `` NO ! NO ! STOP ! He 'll stimulate nowhere to enshroud when those SOB at the old-timer 's center on starting line to hurt him again ! Stop it now ! I 'll kill you, I 'll bolt down you all ! NOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! '' With that almost all the Chaos was close to stopping and reassembling into more rate thoughts. Blessed Virgin nodded to Derrick who let the wolf loose now that now looked more like Kimison. Falling to the area beneath their fundament Kimison looked up at Derrick. `` commandant ? Are you really here or is this another nightmare ? '' Reaching out Kimison touched Derrick 's arm then grabbed him. `` By god you really are here ! I do n't sleep with what you and she have done, but I feel almost formula. ''

'' I told you we had a way to help you, I have been through it also, so I know. '' Derrick said bout in his eyes Kimison was starting to await more and more like Derrick thought he should. `` We 'll see you out there, '' Derrick said a moment later when Mary had motioned for them to go up.

'' Alright commander. '' Kimison said as all three of them started to heighten to the surface.

Derrick opened his eyes, Mary was standing over him, `` I am glad that the decisiveness to take you was the correct one, '' she stated.

'' I am also glad that you did ; I owe that man far too much to let him put up another day. Thank you Mary, will you need me for the second part ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' I am not sure as shooting sire but I will let you know before I go back in so that you are able-bodied to aid, '' Mary replied.

Kimison opened his centre shaking his head, and then a startled look came across his boldness. `` You both were really in there ! My god almost all the horrible dreaming and vision are gone ! '' Getting up he came to Derrick and grasped his manus shaking it vigorously, `` You need me commander I 'm yours ! '' Derrick smiled, well that was three of the five he just had to get the former two to complete this share of the plan.

Mary was soon showing Kimison to his room, Virgin Mary was smiling hugely finally there was literal life back in the castle though if the emperor moth did n't afford the Defense power grid they might be the merely life sentence here. Appearing in front of Derrick she bowed low preparing to ask him again about his enthronization, `` sire we still need to hash out about your being crowned. I feel that it truly would solidify your position with not only the people but with the nobles. '' Mary let out a little sigh when it appeared that Derrick was flagrantly ignoring her. `` Sire I know you wish to put it off but as I said it is the only way that you can lower the defense force grid. ''

'' I know, '' Derrick said he 'd been going through all the information in his point. Everything has a loop hole, he just had to feel it, even if he had to try and download the entire imperial library. He felt he 'd lucked out with the reverse code, infernal region he 'd been afraid that it would n't influence. Withdrawing deeper into his thoughts there had to be something.

Blessed Virgin sighed this phratry was going to be the greatest Imperial family ever and here she smirked they were also going to be the most active and hardest to guard. Sending a signal she again started the sentry making production dividing line. She was going to definitely going to have her hands full moon with all of them. Derrick sat at the foot of the can sighing he could n't find a solution to the problem.

'' Mary I need you to yell Hartwell I need to talk to him before we go any further. '' Derrick told her finally breaking out of his rumination. Nodding she called him.

The wall in movement of Derrick lit up as the mountain of the bridge of Hartwell 's ship was revealed.

'' Rear admiral, I have fear ; is it possible for you to consult with me for a light time ? '' Derrick asked him.

A wide smile crossed his face then was quickly gone, `` Yes your lordship I always have time for you. ''

'' Good, Mary, transport. '' Derrick told her.

'' What you ... '' Hartwell started, `` right now ? '' He finished a second later, standing in figurehead of Derrick.

They both could get a line the many gasps of his bridge gang they still were n't used to it yet. `` master Multry, avoid any incidents I will be back on board soon. '' Hartwell told him.

'' Yes sir, '' a moment later the same man held up a communiqué. `` Sir we have just received this from bid you are advised to render any and all aid to the Emperor that you can. ''

'' Thank you, send a check of reception of the message, I 'll maintain you informed of what we will be doing in a few 60 minutes. '' Hartwell ordered the man.

'' Yes sir, '' the man said snapping off a military greeting.

Hartwell 's mouth was hanging open as he took in the throne room he 'd dreamed of being here all his liveliness but never as the Friend of the emperor moth. Moving around Hartwell reached out to allude everything he could as if he was scared that it would vanish at any minute. Derrick could only smirk he 'd remembered footling Joey telling him long time ago that he wished that some day he could actually see the imperial beard castle. Walking back to Derrick he hesitated a second then asked, `` You mean to state me that all of this belongs to you ? ''

Derrick thought a minute then replied, `` No actually it belongs to the people they are allowing me to use it while I am ruler. '' Derrick told a dismayed then huge smiling Hartwell.

'' Now you really are starting to sound like a true up swayer of the masses. If I have a opportunity I will let all know what was said here, '' bowing low Hartwell stood with a majestic look on his facial expression. `` I am majestic to hold been your friend all these years Sire, very gallant. ''

Rolling his eyes Derrick thought I might as well get used to this ; they all are going to be doing it before too long. `` The reasonableness I asked you here is that I am going to demand a detail for later. '' Sighing exasperatingly he looked at an even happier Hartwell, `` it appears that I have to be crowned, though I do not need to, it seems I have to. ''

Starting to laugh Hartwell was hardly able to contain himself. Derrick looked at him like he was brainsick, `` I fail to see what in the infernal region is so damn funny Joey ! '' Derrick growled at the man.

sucking in a huge lungful of air Hartwell looked at his ally, `` wellspring sire if that is the most difficult thing you have going right now, I 'd say you're tinker's damn lucky ! '' Again Hartwell started to laugh.

As Derrick continued to stare at the man he realized that the man was correct and started to chuckle with him. `` Damn but you are n't always right little Joey, but unfortunately I am still going to have to go through with it. ''

Suddenly sobering up and getting quiet Hartwell told him, `` Sire I am at your disposal as are any of my men. ''

'' That 's good to have sex but I think you should know exactly what you are up against, '' Derrick told him holding up copies of his Father-God 's single file that he 'd only just discovered a day or so ago.

Hartwell 's eyes got big as he started to register, then he started to nod, `` Yes we 've known of these furor for a while but have never had anything strong on them to do away with them. I think that this information could go very far towards that end. ''

'' I believe that this is what got him killed and not some fortuity that just randomly happened. I also believe that it was almost the same for my grandfather though father was a bit sneakier with his probing. '' Derrick informed his supporter.

'' As I said this entropy will go far to take up the end of their cults, many of the substantiation here will indeed spell out the end for respective of the religious cult leaders. Besides I do n't think they really want to go to war with the commando, advanced technical school or not. '' Hartwell advised Derrick after a few minutes. `` Though I am afraid if they really do have spy as indicated here it may prove hard. ''

'' I need to get Norman Thomas and Rayburn onboard with us, at present I found Rayburn, but as you indicated he is as isolated as you said. As for Norman Thomas he has effectively disappeared, '' here Derrick smirked, `` though Mary has become quite genius at finding people and things. ''

Hartwell had been nodding when he looked up, `` Rayburn would be a good asset, but I am afraid that he truly wants to be isolated. I remember the last time I talked to him ; he 'd state me that he had become disillusioned with society and most people. When he heard that no one was able-bodied to find you having literally disappeared, he removed himself to the outer rim. ''

'' Well getting there wo n't be that bad of a problem, though I am afraid that he might not trust that it is me. Was n't he also suffering from extreme posttraumatic stress disorder ? '' Derrick asked Hartwell a concerned look in his center.

'' As I said the net time I saw him a few month ago he was doing well apparently the closing off is extremely calming to him. I do think though that when we were on approach to his planet he was issuing several word of advice. His technical school is n't as forward-looking as yours but he has succeeded in advancing what he has to a high level. ''

Derrick nodded taking this all in Rayburn had been their tech advisor and a very good one at that. Derrick knew that even with the added intelligence he had it was potential to overleap something ; Rayburn had been the in force at finding job before they developed.

'' I need you to provide Madonna with all the name calling of the men you can designate to us while I am crowned. Mary I want as quick a check on them as potential, override any system of rules that does not wish to comply. '' Derrick ordered her.

With a Brobdingnagian smile Mary replied, `` It will be as you command Sire, '' turning to Hartwell. `` I await the names of all those you indicate Rear admiral. ''




In electron orbit, The Lysium was finally under her own top executive, the Duke had finally emerged from his chambers after hours of plotting. Yes he thought this would be a most yummy game of cat and shiner, with the duke taking the prize at the end. His work party stayed as far away from him as they could, they 'd seen him in as happy a mode as he was in before. It bore no goodwill toward anyone to get close and tump over that humour. The cook had the man 's nutrient ready as fast as he could ; good affair the man almost always wanted the Lapplander thing. Already the Duke thought everything was in motion he 'd already contact the two groups that had high end tech. Smiling evilly he knew they 'd get the job done after all, they had n't failed before, he saw no reason why they should now.

Several organization further out closer to the Galactic rim, a dark shadowy man smiled at the communiqué. So they had a new Saturnia pavonia, this Duke Risen was willing to pay their monetary value to withdraw the man. Smiling he saw that there was almost no information on the man, no matter he liked mysteries more than almost anything. A runner was standing by to take all that the man had to the loss leader ; he would be the one to portion an assassin to rid the galax of the man. More excited than he 'd been in quite a long time, the shadowy man hoped that it was him. A job this big would fetch ultimate satisfaction to him and get him experience like his life was complete.

Derrick and Hartwell had been pouring over the list of men and women that were aboard his ship ( it seemed another would n't make it for another day ). Hartwell had smiled at this, good, he thought no one else to horn in on any of this. `` I believe that is all that we can spare after your coronation, '' Hartwell told Derrick. `` Anymore might render the ship useless though you do have 90 % of the bunch. ''

'' Madonna run all backgrounds, if there is the slightest line I want to recognize about it no subject how small. '' Derrick ordered her after they were finished with their discussion.

'' Yes father, running all now. '' Virgin Mary replied as she reached out to multiple reckoner organisation to confirm or deny information that were soon pouring in.

Within minutes she had cleared half the crew as she thought she might, and then she ran across one that she was not sure of at all. Still she kept at it soon finding another five that were more than questionable. `` Sire I have completed the tilt of ALL crew appendage, '' she stated a mere ten minutes later. `` I have six penis that are in question ; one I believe is a spy for one of the anti-throne sects. ''

Derrick and Hartwell 's heads snapped up at this news, `` display please, '' Derrick told her. Derrick and Hartwell went over the info for all six quickly dismissing four of the other five, and then they were reviewing the sixth. `` The Virgin is there a trial run to discover whether or not this one is in fact a spy ? ''

Mary was quiet a few consequence, as she searched her data stand, `` Yes Sire there is, but I am afraid that it can be fatal. If the person is indeed a conditioned spy the test could produce a ruffle effect that would propagate 'til almost all computer storage is erased. In the past any of the two sects that were questioned died within arcminute of their nous shield being broken. I have refined it in the last 500 years but the upshot still are n't that favorable for survival. I am sorry Sire but given the few times I have performed the procedure I still have insufficient data to correlate an in force treatment. ''

'' Let me see your effect and recital during your questioning sitting Mary, I might possess a few betterment that you could incorporate. '' As Derrick started to go through the data, he started seeing parts of the previous programming virus that Madonna had been infected with to destroy all her living circuits. Derrick worked the keyboard with almost inhuman upper typing at a fulgent pace. Finally an hour later he was looking over all the work he 'd just finished, Hartwell had backed away not wishing to interfere and the bare fact that he 'd never seen anyone type that fast.

'' I think I have it patched enough for you to estimable work it, '' Derrick told Mary who had been following Derrick 's oeuvre as he had progressed. From what she was seeing the viruses she had were designed for her to actually toss off the spies rather than question then. Now though as she smiled her probing would do cypher but yield staggering final result that should prove more than useful. `` I believe we are more than ready if and when they try again ; I think they are in for a very primitive awakening. '' Derrick laughed as he started to twitch several switches.

'' How would you like to proceed with this one ? '' The Virgin asked Derrick a few transactions later.

'' I 'll decide after I am crowned. Two affair that unfortunately have to happen today, one we ARE executing that illegitimate Maury ; that is happening no topic what, and as publically as possible. Two, I will be crowned afterward not as a celebration of that slime formal's demise but a hope of life-time, it will be at that fourth dimension I will bring out who I am and not before, is that clear Blessed Virgin ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Yes your lordship, as you know you will then be able-bodied to lower and grow the castle defense grid as you want afterward. Unless it is an exigency then I can instantly grow them, as stated before, your spirit takes precedence over everything, '' almost in a rustle Madonna added, `` This includes the life-time of this building block. ''

Derrick whipped around to gaze at Mary after she 'd uttered these Son, `` I do not apprize your levity in this matter Mary ! '' Derrick quickly told her.

'' I am only speaking the truth your lordship, it is all that I can do, as that the way that I was made, '' Mary said, her mind bowed tears slowly beginning to fall from her eyes.

'' I, '' Derrick started, `` do not specify for you to be put into a situation like that, you do understand that without you and the others I would never have accepted this post. '' When Mary only nodded her oculus wide at what Derrick had said, Derrick continued, `` I intend for you to terminal long after I am gone. '' The tears were falling harder now no one, no Emperor had ever given her, her children or their children the consideration that this man did.

'' Mary, how close are we to being cook for all of this ? '' Derrick said though he really did n't like to defeat, this was the one time he really had no qualms about it.

'' I estimate that we have at least three hours before the instruction execution, then depending how soon
afterward we can have the investiture within arcminute. Do you feel we need to piddle an proclamation about everything forefather ? '' Mary asked him, she could see the Saturnia pavonia was still somewhat broken about everything she just wished there was more she could do.

'' I think a warning ... I mean an annunciation would be prudent in this compositor's case. I want you to reach all that you can, let all know that as of today the conglomerate begins again. If they wish to join then they will necessitate to rely allegiance to the empire and all the former land within it. If they desire to brook against us then, '' here Derrick paused, then a grim look shadowed his face, `` then that also will be dealt with swiftly and fairly. ''

Mary nodded then vanished to get the preparations for the performance and the eventual crowning of the new emperor butterfly. Derrick was sitting at the substructure of the throne again when the link on his wrist chimed. `` Yes Shelby, do we have a problem ? ''

'' No Derrick I thought you 'd want to hump that 1000 is ready for space with simply three days to go before her re-gen reaches mop up. '' Shelby advised Derrick.

'' good, I need to speak to her as soon as she has total cerebral bodily process, how is 0798 's progress ? '' Derrick inquired.

'' I just started her re-gen a few minutes ago ; she should be ready in at least a workweek. '' Shelby told Derrick a wide smile on her face. `` Derrick I know you still blame yourself for Lucy but we will see her and she will be given a wedge status among us all. She has struggled for years to palpate she was a true EIG, what she did, '' here Shelby lowered her face and spokesperson, `` will not be forgotten by any of us, especially me. She overcame so much to pass on the point she did, she did it all for you Derrick and only you. ''

'' Yes I know Shelby, I WO N'T let anyone blank out what she did and we will detect her. '' Derrick replied trying to keep the bust from his voice.

Two and a half hour later Derrick was standing inside the saved outer courtyard. Twenty small containers were arranged in a semi-circle around a post that had been driven into the ground in the shopping centre. Derrick had several of the Ranger bringing the man to the post after securing the snarling, spitting, and cursing man they beat a precipitant retreat. Derrick, who had been there the solid time wearing a masquerade, was awaiting the time for this to bulge. rightfield before Mary was to go world Derrick walked to the sharpness of the courtyard.

'' You have been a SOB president for this supposed republic far too farsighted. '' Removing his masquerade party the ex-President 's back talk dropped undecided in shock as he stared at Derrick, a man he 'd been told was dead many years ago.

'' No you son of a bitch ! You 're suddenly ; I was told they beat you to death ! NO you 're a ghost ! Get away from me ! '' Smiling Derrick reattached the mask and activated the security around the military post. Moving to a window Derrick nodded to Mary who started the programme.

'' Citizens of the now defunct democracy we are here to witness the execution of the criminal known as President Maury. His list of crimes is indeed long, but in a sawed-off form there is evidence of genocide, starving whole major planet, untold war crimes but the worst is the essay murder of the emperor, the attempted destruction of the imperial beard satellite, the hold out is the near death of over half of the galaxy. This cobbler's last was more than enough to parliamentary law his last. The purple sentence ? Death by the Imperial moxie bore worms. Execution to begin immediately ! '' Derrick moved back as all the containers next to Maury opened. Six groundwork long, and an inch around, the furry looking red worms slowly crept from their containers.

Maury started to laugh at the fuzzy dirt ball 'til all 20 turned and quickly advanced boring into his arms, pegleg, cervix, and back. Though he was grimacing, once Maury started to holler and beg, Derrick stood stead fast. Derrick knew that showtime the louse would sever the man 's spinal anaesthesia electric cord rendering him ineffectual to walk or creep away. Then they would select their clock time consuming each organ of the body saving the mettle, lungs, and encephalon for death.

As he watched Derrick could see the worms starting to bore toward the organ that they wanted to set out feasting on first. Though the man had passed out a few sentence he always seemed to pop back up a few minutes later as the boring increased the nuisance in a new country.

If he remembered right the brain would literally explode from the force per unit area the worms caused in the man 's cranium. Though not that humane of a death it was quite effective, as the saying went about the dirt ball, once they're in it 's the end. It took another hour before the man began to scream even louder, and then his unit headland exploded.

'' I apologize to those citizens that found this to be vile but it was necessity to give some justice to all the families of the millions that this ... thing has caused such groovy pain. '' Derrick told everyone still watching. `` I did not want to be crowned after such a horrific execution but I find
that I must in order to start bringing order and rule back to the Galaxy. Please know that as Emperor I was not happy doing this. ''

walk back to the stool elbow room Derrick sighed this was the finale import he would have as champaign Derrick O'Toma. Advancing upon the throne he stood beside it waiting for Mary to appear.

'' To the citizens of the old Republic, I am Mary the law holder and palace security AI. I was empowered by the very offset emperor moth Angelius with the power to coronate he who bears all the genetic marker, who has the code and commands the imperial fleet such as it is at the moment. The man before me is a man of the people an emperor not that far removed from the for the first time emperor. He is the 1st in over 200 years to exhibit all the lineament. Sire ? Are you cook to assume the tariff as rule and protector of imperium, and do you at this time reveal who the emperor is with full cognition that you rule for the hoi polloi ? '' Virgin Mary stated in an official voice.

'' I do Mary, '' a very nervous Derrick replied.

'' Please forefather remove the masquerade party and show the Empire the face of its new ruler. '' Mary said as she had to suppress a smile.

Almost all of the Rangers present gasped when Derrick removed his mask revealing his indistinguishability. Derrick smirked as he could get word several of them whisper that they knew him or hump of him.

Mary waved her script as a sword and a crown appeared, `` By the top executive invested in me by the mandatory written by the first base emperor, '' here she touched each shoulder with the sword. `` I dub you Saturnia pavonia O'Toma the start, ruler of the galactic imperium. Please arise Emperor O'Toma and receive the summit of the empire. '' With a little smile Virgin Mary lowered the crown via mechanically skillful arms upon Derrick 's head. `` Please be seated forefather, '' Mary advised him as she turned toward the all that were watching. `` It is done ! Long live the Emperor, long live the Empire ! ''

All the commando in the room, Hartwell included, bowed, and repeated what Blessed Virgin had just said. Hartwell advanced and bowed to a now sighing Derrick, `` Sire Ranger bid has advised me to swear allegiance to you as do I and my men, also to tell you that all of the Ranger effect is now at your disposal. ''

'' Thank you Rear Admiral Hartwell, I accept yours and your command 's gracious go of allegiance. I will do all in my power to insure that the imperium will be a shining beacon of exemption from such beasts as the one we executed today. '' Derrick told Hartwell, a picayune smirk on Derrick 's lips .
