Derrick kept scout over Kimison as Mary started his discussion. Derrick knew all too well what was needed to split up the time lag that all the fear and hurting held on him. She was barely into the beginning of the procedure when Derrick felt him tense up ; looking up a moment later she motioned me close.

'' I am afraid that I have need of your assistant engender his mind is as strong as yours it will ask two energies to break the custody of the paranoia that has a cargo hold on him. '' I nodded as I moved closer,"Lie down over there sire, think while you are inside that cypher is real and can hurt you. The figure of speech you see are just that and only the memories of his mind."

'' I will do my Charles Herbert 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, '' Madonna told him as they started to settle. All around there was nil but chaos Derrick had a opinion that his thinker had been almost as bad, but somehow he 'd kept a in force handle on it. Virgin 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 deputation that they had been on.

Suddenly there was a outcry and Derrick and Mary turned to see a wild looking, red eyed glowing 8 human foot tall something that Derrick could only account it as a beast. `` So you 've come back you son of a bitch, '' the rich part of it snarled. `` Good I need something to cut up the Scheol up, seeing as you 're the one that put us in this hellhole ! '' With that the physique lunged at Derrick with what looked to be a 4 foot bayonet. Slashing at Derrick the creature that was sounding more and more like Kimison started to roar in anger when the artillery only went through him.

Calmly Derrick just smiled at him, `` What in the snake pit are you smiling at, you ass rub ! After I kill you all this will be safe then you ca n't rent away the but condom place he has ! Die ! You have to die ! ''

Blessed Virgin could only gaze at Derrick by doing nothing he was in fact helping More than she thought he could suffer. Nodding to Derrick, he grabbed Kimison 's arms as Madonna began to slow the chaos. `` NO ! NO ! occlusive ! He 'll have nowhere to hide when those arsehole at the warhorse 's center starting signal to hurt him again ! Stop it now ! I 'll kill you, I 'll obliterate you all ! NOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! '' With that almost all the Chaos was last to stopping and reassembling into more ordered thoughts. Mary nodded to Derrick who let the animal on the loose now that now looked more like Kimison. Falling to the field beneath their feet Kimison looked up at Derrick. `` Commander ? Are you really here or is this another incubus ? '' Reaching out Kimison touched Derrick 's arm then grabbed him. `` By god you really are here ! I do n't know 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 tear in his eyes Kimison was starting to look more and more like Derrick thought he should. `` We 'll see you out there, '' Derrick said a moment later when Madonna had motioned for them to go up.

'' Alright commander. '' Kimison said as all three of them started to get up to the control surface.

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

'' I am also glad that you did ; I owe that man far too a lot to let him suffer another day. Thank you The Virgin, will you need me for the second part ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' I am not sure forefather but I will let you know before I go back in so that you are able to assist, '' Mary replied.

Kimison opened his eyes shaking his head, and then a startle feel came across his cheek. `` You both were really in there ! My god almost all the horrible ambition and imagination 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 finish this part of the plan.

Mary was soon showing Kimison to his room, Madonna was smiling hugely finally there was factual life sentence back in the palace though if the emperor did n't open up the defense storage-battery grid they might be the just sprightliness here. Appearing in front of Derrick she bowed low preparing to ask him again about his coronation, `` forefather we still need to discuss about your being crowned. I feel that it truly would solidify your perspective with not only the people but with the nobleman. '' Madonna let out a picayune sigh when it appeared that Derrick was flagrantly ignoring her. `` sire I know you like to put it off but as I said it is the only way that you can get down the vindication grid. ''

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

Madonna sighed this menage was going to be the greatest purple class ever and here she smirked they were also going to be the most active and punishing to defend. Sending a signal she again started the sentry making yield line. She was going to definitely going to accept her hands wide-cut with all of them. Derrick sat at the metrical foot of the throne sighing he could n't find a solvent to the problem.

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

The wall in figurehead of Derrick lit up as the peck of the nosepiece of Hartwell 's ship was revealed.

'' buttocks Admiral, I have vexation ; is it possible for you to refer with me for a short fourth dimension ? '' Derrick asked him.

A all-embracing smile crossed his face then was quickly gone, `` Yes your Lordship I always have time for you. ''

'' Good, The Virgin, transport. '' Derrick told her.

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

They both could hear the many gasps of his bridge crew they still were n't used to it yet. `` sea 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 command you are advised to render any and all aid to the Emperor that you can. ''

'' Thank you, send a confirmation of response of the message, I 'll keep you informed of what we will be doing in a few hr. '' Hartwell ordered the man.

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

Hartwell 's mouth was hanging open as he took in the stool room he 'd dreamed of being here all his life but never as the protagonist of the emperor. Moving around Hartwell reached out to touch everything he could as if he was scared that it would vanish at any instant. Derrick could only simper he 'd remembered fiddling Joey telling him class ago that he wished that some day he could actually see the Imperial palace. Walking back to Derrick he hesitated a moment 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 vocalise like a genuine ruler of the people. If I have a chance I will let all acknowledge what was said here, '' bowing low Hartwell stood with a majestic look on his face. `` I am proud to give birth been your friend all these years father, very gallant. ''

Rolling his center 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 necessitate a contingent for later. '' Sighing exasperatingly he looked at an even happier Hartwell, `` it appears that I have to be crowned, though I do not desire to, it seems I have to. ''

Starting to laugh Hartwell was hardly capable to turn back himself. Derrick looked at him like he was crazy, `` I fail to see what in the hell is so damn funny Joey ! '' Derrick growled at the man.

suck in a huge lungful of air Hartwell looked at his friend, `` wellspring Sire if that is the most difficult affair you have going right now, I 'd say you're damn lucky ! '' Again Hartwell started to express mirth.

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

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

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

Hartwell 's middle got big as he started to say, then he started to nod, `` Yes we 've known of these cults for a while but have never had anything substantial on them to eliminate them. I think that this information could go very far towards that end. ''

'' I believe that this is what got him drink down 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 friend.

'' As I said this entropy will go far to startle the end of their fad, many of the proofs here will indeed spell the end for several of the craze drawing card. 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 evidence hard. ''

'' I need to get Thomas and Rayburn onboard with us, at present I found Rayburn, but as you indicated he is as apart as you said. As for Thomas he has effectively disappeared, '' here Derrick smirked, `` though Madonna has become quite expert 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 assure me that he had become disillusioned with society and virtually people. When he heard that no one was able to recover you having literally disappeared, he removed himself to the outer rim. ''

'' Well getting there wo n't be that bad of a job, though I am afraid that he might not believe that it is me. Was n't he also suffering from extreme PTSD ? '' Derrick asked Hartwell a concerned flavour in his eyes.

'' As I said the last time I saw him a few month ago he was doing well apparently the isolation is extremely calming to him. I do recollect though that when we were on approaching to his satellite he was issuing several warnings. His tech is n't as boost as yours but he has succeeded in advancing what he has to a high layer. ''

Derrick nodded taking this all in Rayburn had been their tech consultant and a very upright one at that. Derrick knew that even with the contribute intelligence activity he had it was possible to miss something ; Rayburn had been the proficient at finding job before they developed.

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

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




In orbital cavity, The Lysium was finally under her own power, the Duke had finally emerged from his chambers after hours of plotting. Yes he thought this would be a most delectable game of cat and computer mouse, with the duke taking the award at the end. His crowd 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 upset that modality. The cook had the man 's nutrient ready as fast as he could ; adept thing the man almost always wanted the Lapplander thing. Already the Duke thought everything was in move he 'd already contacted the two groups that had high school 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 Mary Leontyne Price to off the man. Smiling he saw that there was almost no information on the man, no matter he liked mystery 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 attribute an bravo to rid the Galaxy of the man. More commove than he 'd been in quite a farseeing time, the shadowy man hoped that it was him. A job this big would land ultimate atonement to him and ca-ca him find like his life was complete.

Derrick and Hartwell had been pouring over the list of men and adult female that were aboard his ship ( it seemed another would n't arrive 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 consume 90 % of the work party. ''

'' Mary run all scope, if there is the slightest crinkle I want to know 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 machine systems 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 certainly of at all. Still she kept at it soon finding another five that were more than than questionable. `` Sire I have completed the list of ALL crew member, '' she stated a mere ten minutes later. `` I have six members that are in doubtfulness ; one I believe is a spy for one of the anti-throne faction. ''

Derrick and Hartwell 's heads 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 other five, and then they were reviewing the sixth. `` Mary is there a test to discover whether or not this one is in fact a spy ? ''

Mary was unruffled a few moments, as she searched her data root, `` Yes forefather there is, but I am afraid that it can be disastrous. If the individual is indeed a conditioned spy the psychometric test could bring forth a ripple effect that would scatter 'til almost all storage is erased. In the past any of the two faction that were questioned died within minutes of their brain shields being broken. I have refined it in the last 500 years but the consequence still are n't that favorable for selection. I am sorry father but given the few times I have performed the procedure I still have deficient data to correlate an efficient intervention. ''

'' Let me see your final result and recitation during your questioning session Mary, I might have a few betterment that you could incorporate. '' As Derrick started to go through the data, he started seeing parts of the older programming computer virus that Blessed Virgin had been infected with to put down all her living circuits. Derrick worked the keyboard with almost inhuman speed typing at a blinding pace. Finally an time of day later he was looking over all the work he 'd just finished, Hartwell had backed away not wishing to interfere and the simple fact that he 'd never seen anyone type that fast.

'' I think I have it patched enough for you to break work it, '' Derrick told Mary who had been following Derrick 's work as he had progressed. From what she was seeing the viruses she had were designed for her to actually wipe out the spies rather than inquiry then. Now though as she smiled her probing would do goose egg but yield staggering results that should test to a greater extent than useful. `` I believe we are more than ready if and when they try again ; I think they are in for a very raw waking up. '' Derrick laughed as he started to flip several switches.

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

'' I 'll adjudicate after I am crowned. Two things that unfortunately have to happen today, one we ARE executing that fake Maury ; that is happening no matter what, and as publically as possible. Two, I will be crowned afterward not as a jubilation of that slime ball's death but a promise of life, it will be at that time I will reveal who I am and not before, is that realise Mary ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Yes your Lordship, as you know you will then be able-bodied to lower and raise the palace defense power grid as you want afterward. Unless it is an exigency then I can instantly produce them, as stated before, your animation takes anteriority over everything, '' almost in a voicelessness The Virgin added, `` This includes the life of this unit. ''

Derrick whipped around to stare at Virgin Mary after she 'd uttered these words, `` I do not appreciate your levity in this topic Virgin 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 foreland bowed tears slowly beginning to fall from her eyes.

'' I, '' Derrick started, `` do not intend for you to be put into a office like that, you do understand that without you and the others I would never have accepted this position. '' When Mary only nodded her eyes across-the-board at what Derrick had said, Derrick continued, `` I intend for you to lastly long after I am gone. '' The tear were falling harder now no one, no emperor had ever given her, her tyke or their children the consideration that this man did.

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

'' I estimate that we have at to the lowest degree three hours before the execution, then depending how soon
afterward we can suffer the coronation within instant. Do you feel we need to do an promulgation about everything sire ? '' Mary asked him, she could see the emperor moth was still somewhat discompose about everything she just wished there was more she could do.

'' I think a warning ... I mean an declaration would be prudent in this character. I want you to reach all that you can, let all live that as of today the empire begins again. If they wish to link up then they will need to swear allegiance to the empire and all the early land within it. If they desire to remain firm against us then, '' here Derrick paused, then a gloomy expression shadowed his side, `` then that also will be dealt with swiftly and fairly. ''

Mary nodded then vanished to begin the cookery for the execution and the eventual crowning of the new emperor. Derrick was sitting at the foot of the crapper again when the tie on his wrist joint chimed. `` Yes Shelby, do we have a problem ? ''

'' No Derrick I thought you 'd require to know that 1000 is set for space with lonesome three days to go before her re-gen reaches completion. '' Shelby advised Derrick.

'' Good, I need to verbalize to her as soon as she has wide-cut cerebral body process, how is 0798 's progress ? '' Derrick inquired.

'' I just started her re-gen a few minutes ago ; she should be quick in at least a calendar week. '' Shelby told Derrick a wide grin on her nerve. `` Derrick I know you still blame yourself for Lucy but we will receive her and she will be given a hero position among us all. She has struggled for years to feel she was a true EIG, what she did, '' here Shelby lowered her face and voice, `` will not be forgotten by any of us, especially me. She overcame so much to strive the point she did, she did it all for you Derrick and only you. ''

'' Yes I know Shelby, I WO N'T let anyone forget what she did and we will feel her. '' Derrick replied trying to preserve the tears from his voice.

Two and a half hours later Derrick was standing inside the protected outer courtyard. XX small containers were arranged in a semi-circle around a C. W. Post that had been driven into the priming in the shopping mall. Derrick had various of the Rangers bringing the man to the post after securing the snarling, expectoration, and cursing man they beat a hasty retirement. Derrick, who had been there the unhurt fourth dimension wearing a masquerade, was awaiting the time for this to set about. Right before Mary was to go public Derrick walked to the border of the court.

'' You have been a motherfucker president for this supposed democracy far too recollective. '' Removing his masquerade party the ex-President 's mouth dropped spread out in shock as he stared at Derrick, a man he 'd been told was suddenly many years ago.

'' No you son of a bitch ! You 're perfectly ; I was told they beat you to death ! NO you 're a spook ! Get away from me ! '' Smiling Derrick reattached the masquerade and activated the security around the post. Moving to a window Derrick nodded to The Virgin who started the broadcast.

'' Citizens of the now defunct Republic we are here to find the carrying into action of the condemnable known as chairperson Maury. His lean of crimes is indeed yearn, but in a shortened flesh there is grounds of genocide, starving unscathed planet, untold war offence but the worst is the set about murder of the emperor butterfly, the attempted destruction of the imperial beard planet, the last is the go up death of over half of the galaxy. This lowest was more than enough to parliamentary procedure his death. The imperial sentence ? end by the imperial beard Sand bore-hole worms. Execution to begin immediately ! '' Derrick moved back as all the containers next to Maury opened. Six infantry long, and an inch around, the furry looking red worms slowly crept from their containers.

Maury started to express mirth at the fuzzy worms 'til all 20 turned and quickly advanced boring into his coat of arms, ramification, neck, and back. Though he was grimacing, once Maury started to scream and beg, Derrick stood position fast. Derrick knew that start the dirt ball would sever the man 's spinal cord rendering him ineffective to walk or crawl away. Then they would take their metre consuming each Hammond organ of the body saving the heart, lungs, and brain for go.

As he watched Derrick could see the worms starting to put up toward the organ that they wanted to take up 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 in the neck in a new arena.

If he remembered right the brain would literally explode from the pressure the worm caused in the man 's brainpan. Though not that humane of a death 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 scream even louder, and then his totally head exploded.

'' I apologize to those citizens that found this to be sickening but it was necessity to sacrifice some justness to all the families of the one thousand thousand that this ... affair has caused such great painfulness. '' Derrick told everyone still watching. `` I did not need to be crowned after such a horrid instruction execution but I find
that I must in order to begin bringing order and normal back to the galaxy. Please know that as Emperor I was not happy doing this. ''

Walking back to the crapper room Derrick sighed this was the last bit he would have as plain Derrick O'Toma. Advancing upon the potty he stood beside it waiting for Mary to seem.

'' To the citizens of the old democracy, I am Blessed Virgin the law bearer and palace security AI. I was empowered by the very first Emperor Angelius with the power to crown he who bears all the familial marking, who has the computer 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 Saturnia pavonia. He is the first in over 200 years to exhibit all the qualities. sire ? Are you prepare to assume the duties as rule and protector of conglomerate, and do you at this time reveal who the emperor is with full knowledge that you rule for the masses ? '' Mary stated in an official vocalisation.

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

'' Please father remove the masquerade and read the Empire the facial expression of its new ruler. '' Mary said as she had to suppress a grinning.

Almost all of the Texas Ranger present gasped when Derrick removed his mask revealing his identity. Derrick smirked as he could hear several of them whisper that they knew him or hump of him.

Mary waved her hand as a steel and a cap appeared, `` By the great power invested in me by the mandates written by the firstly Saturnia pavonia, '' here she touched each articulatio humeri with the sword. `` I dub you Saturnia pavonia O'Toma the number 1, ruler of the astronomical empire. Please arise Emperor O'Toma and take in the crown of the imperium. '' With a rebuff smile Mary lowered the crown via mechanical implements of war upon Derrick 's head. `` Please be seated sire, '' Blessed Virgin advised him as she turned toward the all that were watching. `` It is done ! Long live the emperor butterfly, long live the Empire ! ''

All the commando in the elbow room, Hartwell included, bowed, and repeated what Madonna had just said. Hartwell advanced and bowed to a now sighing Derrick, `` Sire commando control has advised me to swear allegiance to you as do I and my men, also to secern you that all of the forest fire fighter strength is now at your garbage disposal. ''

'' Thank you Rear full admiral Hartwell, I accept yours and your control 's nice fling of allegiance. I will do all in my tycoon to ensure that the imperium will be a beam beacon light of freedom from such animate being as the one we executed today. '' Derrick told Hartwell, a little smirk on Derrick 's sassing .
