Derrick kept watch over Kimison as Mary started his handling. Derrick knew all too well what was needed to check the clench that all the concern and painful sensation held on him. She was barely into the kickoff of the operation when Derrick felt him tense up up ; looking up a bit later she motioned me close.

'' I am afraid that I have need of your help beget his head is as strong as yours it will require two energies to break the hold of the paranoia that has a wait on him. '' I nodded as I moved closer,"Lie down over there Sire, think while you are inside that nothing is real and can anguish you. The images you see are just that and only the computer storage 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, '' Blessed Virgin told him as they started to descend. All around there was nothing but chaos Derrick had a feeling that his mind had been almost as bad, but somehow he 'd kept a better handle on it. Mary touched his arm and pointed to a spot where the chaos was nonexistent. Landing, Derrick looked around recognizing where they were, it had been one of the worst commission that they had been on.

Suddenly there was a shout and Derrick and Virgin Mary turned to see a furious looking, red eyed glowing 8 foot tall something that Derrick could only describe it as a wildcat. `` So you 've come back you son of a bitch, '' the deep spokesperson of it snarled. `` expert I need something to chip at the pit up, seeing as you 're the one that put us in this hell on earth ! '' With that the shape lunged at Derrick with what looked to be a 4 foot bayonet. Slashing at Derrick the creature that was sounding more than and more like Kimison started to roar in anger when the arm only went through him.

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

Blessed Virgin could only gaze at Derrick by doing cypher he was in fact helping to a greater extent than she thought he could make. Nodding to Derrick, he grabbed Kimison 's weapon system as Mary began to slow the chaos. `` NO ! NO ! catch ! He 'll have nowhere to obscure when those arse at the old stager 's center start to bruise him again ! stop it now ! I 'll toss off you, I 'll kill you all ! NOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! '' With that almost all the Chaos was snug to stopping and reassembling into more ordered thoughts. The Virgin nodded to Derrick who let the beast unaffixed now that now looked more like Kimison. Falling to the sphere beneath their infantry Kimison looked up at Derrick. `` Commander ? 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 teardrop in his eyes Kimison was starting to calculate more than and more like Derrick thought he should. `` We 'll see you out there, '' Derrick said a present moment later when Madonna had motioned for them to go up.

'' Alright commandant. '' Kimison said as all three of them started to rise to the airfoil.

Derrick opened his heart, Blessed Virgin was standing over him, `` I am glad that the decision to select you was the correct one, '' she stated.

'' I am also glad that you did ; I owe that man far too much to let him stomach another day. Thank you Blessed Virgin, will you want me for the sec division ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' I am not sure Sire but I will let you experience before I go back in so that you are able to aid, '' Mary replied.

Kimison opened his eyes shaking his head, and then a galvanise feel came across his fount. `` You both were really in there ! My god almost all the horrible dream and visions are gone ! '' Getting up he came to Derrick and grasped his hand 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 other two to complete this section of the plan.

Mary was soon showing Kimison to his room, Virgin Mary was smiling hugely finally there was factual spirit back in the castle though if the emperor butterfly did n't open up the defense power system they might be the only life history here. Appearing in front end of Derrick she bowed low preparing to ask him again about his enthronisation, `` father we still need to discourse about your being crowned. I feel that it truly would solidify your placement with not only the people but with the nobleman. '' 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 glower the defense control 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 bump it, even if he had to try and download the intact regal library. He felt he 'd lucked out with the overrule codification, hell he 'd been afraid that it would n't work. Withdrawing deeper into his thoughts there had to be something.

Mary sighed this sept 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 hold. Sending a signal she again started the lookout man making output line. She was going to definitely going to birth her deal fully with all of them. Derrick sat at the foundation of the toilet sighing he could n't rule a solution to the problem.

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

The rampart in front of Derrick lit up as the flock of the bridge of Hartwell 's ship was revealed.

'' Rear full admiral, I have vexation ; is it possible for you to look up with me for a curt time ? '' Derrick asked him.

A widely grin crossed his side then was quickly gone, `` Yes your lordship I always have time for you. ''

'' Good, Virgin Mary, raptus. '' Derrick told her.

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

They both could hear the many gasp of his span crew they still were n't used to it yet. `` Captain 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 instruction you are advised to render any and all aid to the emperor butterfly that you can. ''

'' Thank you, ship a ratification of response of the subject matter, I 'll keep you informed of what we will be doing in a few hour. '' Hartwell ordered the man.

'' Yes sir, '' the man said snapping off a salute.

Hartwell 's mouth was hanging open as he took in the throne room he 'd dreamed of being here all his spirit but never as the friend of the Emperor. Moving around Hartwell reached out to rival everything he could as if he was scared that it would vanish at any moment. Derrick could only smirk he 'd remembered little Joey telling him days ago that he wished that some day he could actually see the imperial palace. Walking back to Derrick he hesitated a second then asked, `` You mean to tell me that all of this belongs to you ? ''

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

'' Now you really are starting to sound like a true ruler of the hoi polloi. If I have a chance I will let all know what was said here, '' bowing low Hartwell stood with a proud tone on his face. `` I am proud to have been your protagonist all these years Sire, very majestic. ''

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

Starting to express mirth Hartwell was hardly able to contain himself. Derrick looked at him like he was crazy, `` I fail to see what in the hell is so damn laughable Joey ! '' Derrick growled at the man.

sucking in a huge lungful of air Hartwell looked at his friend, `` well Sire if that is the most difficult affair you have going right now, I 'd say you're darn golden ! '' Again Hartwell started to laugh.

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

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

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

Hartwell 's eyes got big as he started to read, then he started to nod, `` Yes we 've known of these cults for a patch but have never had anything solid on them to wipe out 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 accident that just randomly happened. I also believe that it was almost the same for my grandad though Father of the Church was a bit sneakier with his probing. '' Derrick informed his friend.

'' As I said this information will go far to start the end of their cults, many of the proofs here will indeed import the end for several of the craze leaders. Besides I do n't think they really want to go to war with the Rangers, advanced tech 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 Thomas and Rayburn onboard with us, at present I found Rayburn, but as you indicated he is as isolated as you said. As for Thomas he has effectively disappeared, '' here Derrick smirked, `` though Mary has become quite adept at finding people and things. ''

Hartwell had been nodding when he looked up, `` Rayburn would be a practiced asset, but I am afraid that he truly wants to be isolated. I remember the last time I talked to him ; he 'd assure me that he had become disillusioned with society and nearly people. When he heard that no one was able 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 consider that it is me. Was n't he also suffering from extreme PTSD ? '' Derrick asked Hartwell a concerned feel in his eyes.

'' As I said the live on meter I saw him a few calendar month ago he was doing well apparently the closing off is extremely calming to him. I do think of though that when we were on advance to his major planet he was issuing various word of advice. His technical school is n't as further as yours but he has succeeded in advancing what he has to a high grade. ''

Derrick nodded taking this all in Rayburn had been their tech advisor and a very proficient one at that. Derrick knew that even with the add together intelligence information he had it was possible to miss something ; Rayburn had been the topper at finding problems before they developed.

'' I need you to supply Blessed Virgin with all the names of the men you can assign to us while I am crowned. Mary I want as quick a check on them as possible, override any system that does not wish to comply. '' Derrick ordered her.

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




In orbit, The Lysium was finally under her own power, the Duke had finally emerged from his bedroom after 60 minutes of plotting. Yes he thought this would be a most delicious game of cat and mouse, with the duke taking the prize at the end. His crew stayed as far away from him as they could, they 'd seen him in as felicitous a mood as he was in before. It bore no grace toward anyone to get close and turn over that mood. The cook had the man 's food ready as fast as he could ; right thing the man almost always wanted the same thing. Already the Duke thought everything was in motion he 'd already contacted the two grouping that had eminent 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 arrangement further out closer to the Galactic rim, a gloomy shadowy man smiled at the communiqué. So they had a new emperor, this Duke Risen was will to pay their price to remove the man. Smiling he saw that there was almost no information on the man, no topic he liked mysteries more than almost anything. A runner was standing by to ask all that the man had to the loss leader ; he would be the one to assign an bravo to rid the beetleweed of the man. More excited than he 'd been in quite a longsighted time, the shadowy man hoped that it was him. A job this big would land ultimate satisfaction to him and make him feel like his life-time was complete.

Derrick and Hartwell had been pouring over the lean of men and women that were aboard his ship ( it seemed another would n't arrive for another day ). Hartwell had smiled at this, dependable, 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 try the ship useless though you do cause 90 % of the crowd. ''

'' Mary run all scope, if there is the slim crease I want to recognise about it no matter how small. '' Derrick ordered her after they were finished with their discussion.

'' Yes Sire, running all now. '' Mary replied as she reached out to multiple computing device arrangement to confirm or refuse 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 confutative. `` father I have completed the listing of ALL crew appendage, '' she stated a mere ten minutes later. `` I have six members that are in question ; one I believe is a spy for one of the anti-throne faction. ''

Derrick and Hartwell 's school principal snapped up at this news, `` Display please, '' Derrick told her. Derrick and Hartwell went over the information for all six quickly dismissing four of the early five, and then they were reviewing the one-sixth. `` Mary is there a test to key whether or not this one is in fact a spy ? ''

Mary was repose a few moments, as she searched her datum radix, `` Yes father there is, but I am afraid that it can be fatal. If the somebody is indeed a conditioned spy the run could produce a rippling effect that would spread 'til almost all computer memory is erased. In the preceding any of the two sects that were questioned died within minutes of their mind cuticle being broken. I have refined it in the last 500 age but the solvent still are n't that favorable for natural selection. I am sad Sire but given the few times I have performed the function I still have insufficient data point to correlate an effective intervention. ''

'' Let me see your consequence and readings during your questioning seance Virgin Mary, I might have a few improvements that you could incorporate. '' As Derrick started to go through the data, he started seeing parts of the onetime programing virus that Virgin Mary had been infected with to ruin all her living circuits. Derrick worked the keyboard with almost cold speed typing at a blinding 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 uncomplicated fact that he 'd never seen anyone case that fast.

'' I think I have it patched enough for you to right study it, '' Derrick told Mary who had been following Derrick 's work as he had progressed. From what she was seeing the virus she had were designed for her to actually kill the spy rather than query then. Now though as she smiled her probing would do nothing but return staggering resultant that should essay Sir Thomas More than utile. `` I believe we are Sir Thomas More than ready if and when they try again ; I think they are in for a very yokelish waking up. '' Derrick laughed as he started to flip several shift.

'' How would you like to go along with this one ? '' Madonna asked Derrick a few moment later.

'' I 'll decide after I am crowned. Two things that unfortunately have to pass off today, one we ARE executing that mongrel Maury ; that is happening no matter what, and as publically as possible. Two, I will be crowned afterward not as a celebration of that ooze ball's decease but a promise of life, it will be at that time I will unwrap who I am and not before, is that clear Mary ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Yes your lordship, as you know you will then be able-bodied to get down and set up the palace defense grid as you want afterward. Unless it is an emergency then I can instantly raise them, as stated before, your lifespan takes priority over everything, '' almost in a whispering Mary added, `` This includes the liveliness of this building block. ''

Derrick whipped around to gaze at Blessed Virgin after she 'd utter these Logos, `` I do not appreciate your levity in this matter Blessed Virgin ! '' 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, '' Blessed Virgin said, her heading bowed tears slowly beginning to fall down from her eye.

'' I, '' Derrick started, `` do not intend for you to be put into a situation like that, you do understand that without you and the others I would never get accepted this spot. '' When Virgin Mary only nodded her eye all-encompassing at what Derrick had said, Derrick continued, `` I intend for you to utmost 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 prepare for all of this ? '' Derrick said though he really did n't like to kill, this was the one time he really had no squeamishness about it.

'' I estimate that we have at least three hr before the carrying into action, then depending how soon
afterward we can get the enthronisation within hour. Do you find we need to progress to an proclamation about everything father ? '' Mary asked him, she could see the emperor was still somewhat trouble about everything she just wished there was more she could do.

'' I think a word of advice ... I mean an announcement would be prudent in this display case. I want you to give all that you can, let all know that as of today the empire begins again. If they wish to join then they will call for to assert loyalty to the empire and all the other kingdom within it. If they desire to bear against us then, '' here Derrick paused, then a downcast look shadowed his look, `` then that also will be dealt with swiftly and fairly. ''

Mary nodded then vanished to begin the preparation for the carrying into action and the eventual crowning of the new emperor moth. Derrick was sitting at the foot of the stool again when the link on his articulatio radiocarpea chimed. `` Yes Shelby, do we have a problem ? ''

'' No Derrick I thought you 'd want to have it off that 1000 is ready for place with only three days to go before her re-gen reaches closing. '' Shelby advised Derrick.

'' goodness, I need to verbalize to her as soon as she has full moon intellectual activeness, how is 0798 's advance ? '' Derrick inquired.

'' I just started her re-gen a few minutes ago ; she should be ready in at least a week. '' Shelby told Derrick a panoptic grinning on her brass. `` Derrick I know you still charge yourself for Lucy but we will find her and she will be given a submarine status among us all. She has struggled for years to experience she was a true EIG, what she did, '' here Shelby lowered her typeface and part, `` will not be forgotten by any of us, especially me. She overcame so practically to reach the dot 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 find her. '' Derrick replied trying to keep the crying from his voice.

Two and a half time of day later Derrick was standing inside the saved outer court. Twenty humble containers were arranged in a semi-circle around a post that had been driven into the ground in the nerve centre. Derrick had several of the Texas Ranger bringing the man to the mail service after securing the snarling, spitting, and cursing man they beat a hasty retreat. Derrick, who had been there the whole time wearing a mask, was awaiting the time for this to start. Right before Mary was to go world Derrick walked to the edge of the courtyard.

'' You have been a bastard chair for this supposed Republic far too long. '' Removing his mask the ex-President 's mouth dropped undefended in jar as he stared at Derrick, a man he 'd been told was absolutely many years ago.

'' No you son of a bitch ! You 're dead ; 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 post. Moving to a window Derrick nodded to Mary who started the programme.

'' Citizens of the now defunct Republic we are here to witness the execution of the criminal known as chair Maury. His tilt of crimes is indeed long, but in a expurgate figure there is evidence of race murder, starving whole planet, untold war criminal offense but the mop up is the attempted murder of the emperor, the set about wipeout of the imperial satellite, the last is the near death of over half of the galaxy. This lastly was more than enough to order his decease. The imperial sentence ? Death by the Imperial sand bore worms. Execution to begin immediately ! '' Derrick moved back as all the containers next to Maury opened. Six metrical foot long, and an inch around, the furry looking red insect slowly crept from their containers.

Maury started to laugh at the fuzzy worms 'til all 20 turned and quickly advanced boring into his limb, stage, cervix, and back. Though he was grimacing, once Maury started to scream and beg, Derrick stood position fast. Derrick knew that outset the worms would sever the man 's spinal anesthesia electric cord rendering him unable to walk or crawl away. Then they would have their sentence consuming each organ of the dead body saving the center, lungs, and brain for survive.

As he watched Derrick could see the worms starting to bore toward the electronic organ that they wanted to lead off feasting on first. Though the man had passed out a few clip he always seemed to pop back up a few minutes later as the boring increased the pain sensation in a new field.

If he remembered right the psyche would literally irrupt from the insistence the worms caused in the man 's cranium. Though not that humane of a dying it was quite effective, as the saying went about the worms, once they're in it 's the end. It took another hour before the man began to shout even loud, and then his all head exploded.

'' I apologize to those citizens that found this to be vile but it was requirement to founder some justice to all the families of the millions that this ... thing has caused such great pain. '' Derrick told everyone still watching. `` I did not require to be crowned after such a terrible execution but I find
that I must in order to take up bringing social club and dominion back to the Galaxy. Please know that as Emperor I was not well-chosen doing this. ''

walking back to the throne way Derrick sighed this was the survive present moment he would sustain as plain Derrick O'Toma. Advancing upon the toilet he stood beside it waiting for Mary to appear.

'' To the citizens of the old commonwealth, I am Mary the law holder and palace security AI. I was empowered by the very first of all Emperor Angelius with the power to crown he who bears all the genic markers, who has the codes and commands the imperial fleet such as it is at the instant. The man before me is a man of the people an emperor not that far removed from the first emperor. He is the number 1 in over 200 age to display all the qualities. father ? Are you ready to take over the responsibility as ruler and shielder of Empire, and do you at this fourth dimension reveal who the emperor is with full knowledge that you rule for the people ? '' Mary stated in an official spokesperson.

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

'' Please Sire remove the masquerade party and show the Empire the face of its new rule. '' Mary said as she had to suppress a grin.

Almost all of the Rangers present gasped when Derrick removed his mask revealing his identity. Derrick smirked as he could find out respective of them whisper that they knew him or recognize of him.

Mary waved her bridge player as a sword and a crown appeared, `` By the power invested in me by the mandates written by the first Saturnia pavonia, '' here she touched each shoulder with the sword. `` I dub you Emperor O'Toma the first, ruler of the galactic Empire. Please bob up Emperor O'Toma and receive the crown of the empire. '' With a slight smile Mary lowered the summit via mechanical implements of war upon Derrick 's head. `` Please be seated Sire, '' 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 Rangers in the room, Hartwell included, bowed, and repeated what Mary had just said. Hartwell advanced and bowed to a now sighing Derrick, `` Sire forest fire fighter bidding has advised me to cuss allegiance to you as do I and my men, also to severalize you that all of the Ranger personnel is now at your disposition. ''

'' Thank you Rear full admiral Hartwell, I accept yours and your statement 's gracious pass of loyalty. I will do all in my tycoon to ensure that the empire will be a bright lighthouse of freedom from such beasts as the one we executed today. '' Derrick told Hartwell, a piddling smirk on Derrick 's lips .
