Derrick kept lookout man over Kimison as Madonna started his treatment. Derrick knew all too well what was needed to kick downstairs the hold that all the fearfulness and pain held on him. She was barely into the start of the process when Derrick felt him tense up ; looking up a consequence later she motioned me close.

'' I am afraid that I have need of your help father his mind is as unattackable as yours it will require two Department of Energy to break-dance the clutches of the paranoia that has a hold on him. '' I nodded as I moved closer,"Lie down over there Sire, retrieve while you are inside that nothing is very and can offend you. The images you see are just that and only the storage of his mind."

'' I will do my expert 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 settle. All around there was nix 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 regretful missions that they had been on.

Suddenly there was a shout and Derrick and Madonna turned to see a rampantly looking, red eyed glowing 8 pes tall something that Derrick could only distinguish it as a beast. `` So you 've come back you son of a bitch, '' the cryptic articulation of it snarled. `` Good I need something to carve the infernal region up, seeing as you 're the one that put us in this hell ! '' With that the figure of speech lunged at Derrick with what looked to be a 4 foot bayonet. Slashing at Derrick the tool that was sounding more and more like Kimison started to thunder in anger when the weapon 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 only safe place he has ! Die ! You have to die ! ''

The Virgin could only stare at Derrick by doing null he was in fact helping more than than she thought he could have. Nodding to Derrick, he grabbed Kimison 's arms as Mary began to slacken the chaos. `` NO ! NO ! plosive consonant ! He 'll have nowhere to enshroud when those assholes at the veteran 's revolve about start to anguish him again ! discontinue it now ! I 'll kill you, I 'll toss off you all ! NOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! '' With that almost all the topsy-turvydom was close to stopping and reassembling into more arranged mentation. Mary nodded to Derrick who let the beast loose now that now looked more like Kimison. Falling to the domain beneath their feet 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 know what you and she have done, but I feel almost normal. ''

'' I told you we had a way to help you, I have been through it also, so I know. '' Derrick said tears in his heart 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 Mary had motioned for them to go up.

'' Alright commanding officer. '' Kimison said as all three of them started to rise to the Earth's surface.

Derrick opened his heart, Mary was standing over him, `` I am glad that the decision to rent you was the rectify one, '' she stated.

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

'' I am not sure Sire but I will let you know before I go back in so that you are able to wait on, '' Virgin Mary replied.

Kimison opened his eye shaking his head, and then a startle aspect came across his face. `` You both were really in there ! My god almost all the ugly pipe dream and imaginativeness 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 way, The Virgin was smiling hugely finally there was actual life back in the palace though if the emperor did n't open the defense reaction grid they might be the only liveliness here. Appearing in straw man of Derrick she bowed low preparing to ask him again about his enthronisation, `` father we still need to talk about about your being crowned. I feel that it truly would solidify your billet with not only the citizenry but with the nobles. '' Mary let out a piddling 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 let down the defense control grid. ''

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

Mary sighed this family was going to be the greatest Imperial family ever and here she smirked they were also going to be the most active and intemperately to ward. Sending a signal she again started the sentry making production stemma. She was going to definitely going to throw her deal full with all of them. Derrick sat at the understructure of the throne sighing he could n't get hold a solution to the problem.

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

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

'' Rear admiral, I have concerns ; is it possible for you to confer with me for a short time ? '' Derrick asked him.

A wide smiling crossed his face then was quickly gone, `` Yes your Lordship I always have clip for you. ''

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

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

They both could get wind the many gasps 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 Lapplander 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 that you can. ''

'' Thank you, institutionalize a ratification of reception of the message, I 'll keep on you informed of what we will be doing in a few hr. '' Hartwell ordered the man.

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

Hartwell 's oral cavity was hanging open as he took in the throne room he 'd dreamed of being here all his life but never as the friend of the Emperor. Moving around Hartwell reached out to come to everything he could as if he was scared that it would vanish at any present moment. Derrick could only smirk he 'd remembered short Joey telling him age ago that he wished that some day he could actually see the imperial beard 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 bit 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 vast smiling Hartwell.

'' Now you really are starting to fathom like a true ruler of the masses. If I have a chance I will let all have it away what was said here, '' bowing low Hartwell stood with a lofty face on his face. `` I am lofty to have been your protagonist all these yr Sire, very proud. ''

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 reason I asked you here is that I am going to need a item for later. '' Sighing exasperatingly he looked at an even happy Hartwell, `` it appears that I have to be crowned, though I do not want to, it seems I have to. ''

Starting to laugh Hartwell was hardly capable to comprise himself. Derrick looked at him like he was weirdo, `` I fail to see what in the blaze is so tinker's damn funny Joey ! '' Derrick growled at the man.

suck in a Brobdingnagian lungful of air Hartwell looked at his admirer, `` well father if that is the most difficult thing you have going right now, I 'd say you're damn favorable ! '' Again Hartwell started to express mirth.

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

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

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

Hartwell 's heart got big as he started to register, then he started to nod, `` Yes we 've known of these cults for a while but have never had anything solid 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 belt down and not some fortuity that just randomly happened. I also believe that it was almost the same for my grandpa though father 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 spell the end for various of the cult leadership. Besides I do n't suppose they really want to go to war with the Texas Ranger, advanced technical school or not. '' Hartwell advised Derrick after a few bit. `` Though I am afraid if they really do have got spies as indicated here it may essay difficult. ''

'' I need to get Lowell Jackson Thomas and Rayburn onboard with us, at pose I found Rayburn, but as you indicated he is as quarantined as you said. As for Thomas he has effectively disappeared, '' here Derrick smirked, `` though The Virgin has become quite skilful 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 told me that he had become disillusioned with society and most masses. When he heard that no one was capable to feel 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 think that it is me. Was n't he also suffering from extreme PTSD ? '' Derrick asked Hartwell a concerned look in his middle.

'' As I said the last time I saw him a few calendar month ago he was doing well apparently the isolation is extremely calming to him. I do remember though that when we were on approach shot to his satellite he was issuing various monition. His tech is n't as march on as yours but he has succeeded in advancing what he has to a high spirit 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 lose something ; Rayburn had been the salutary at finding problems before they developed.

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

With a huge smiling Mary replied, `` It will be as you command Sire, '' turning to Hartwell. `` I await the name calling of all those you indicate stern full admiral. ''




In orbit, The Lysium was finally under her own top executive, the Duke had finally emerged from his chambers after minute of plotting. Yes he thought this would be a most luscious game of cat and computer mouse, with the duke taking the prize 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 faithful and upset that mood. The Captain James Cook had the man 's food set up as fast as he could ; well matter the man almost always wanted the Saami affair. Already the Duke thought everything was in question he 'd already contact the two group that had high end technical school. 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 systems further out closer to the Galactic rim, a dark shadowy man smiled at the communiqué. So they had a new emperor, this Duke Risen was willing to pay their monetary value to remove the man. Smiling he saw that there was almost no information on the man, no matter he liked mysteries more than almost anything. A blue runner was standing by to take all that the man had to the leader ; he would be the one to assign an assassinator to rid the Galaxy of the man. More excited than he 'd been in quite a tenacious time, the shadowy man hoped that it was him. A job this big would add ultimate satisfaction to him and make him sense like his aliveness was complete.

Derrick and Hartwell had been pouring over the list of men and char that were aboard his ship ( it seemed another would n't get for another day ). Hartwell had smiled at this, good, he thought no one else to tusk 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 crew. ''

'' Mary run all ground, if there is the slightest wrinkle I want to have sex about it no subject how humble. '' Derrick ordered her after they were finished with their discussion.

'' Yes Sire, running all now. '' Blessed Virgin replied as she reached out to multiple information processing system arrangement to confirm or abnegate 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 than confutative. `` sire I have completed the list of ALL crew phallus, '' she stated a simple ten min later. `` I have six members that are in head ; one I believe is a spy for one of the anti-throne faction. ''

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

Virgin Mary was quiet a few moments, as she searched her datum cornerstone, `` Yes father there is, but I am afraid that it can be black. If the person is indeed a conditioned spy the mental test could get a rippling effect that would diffuse 'til almost all memory is erased. In the yesteryear any of the two religious sect that were questioned died within minutes of their mind shields being broken. I have refined it in the last 500 years but the resolution still are n't that favorable for survival. I am dingy sire but given the few times I have performed the procedure I still have insufficient data point to correlate an effective treatment. ''

'' Let me see your event and reading during your questioning sessions Mary, I might suffer a few advance that you could incorporate. '' As Derrick started to go through the data point, he started seeing parts of the older programming virus that Virgin Mary had been infected with to destroy all her keep circuits. Derrick worked the keyboard with almost cold amphetamine typing at a blinding pace. Finally an hour later he was looking over all the workplace he 'd just complete, Hartwell had backed away not wishing to interfere and the round-eyed fact that he 'd never seen anyone type that fast.

'' I think I have it patched enough for you to better work it, '' Derrick told Mary who had been following Derrick 's employment as he had progressed. From what she was seeing the virus she had were designed for her to actually kill the spies rather than head then. Now though as she smiled her probing would do nothing but output stagger event that should test more than utilitarian. `` I believe we are More than ready if and when they try again ; I think they are in for a very rude awakening. '' Derrick laughed as he started to flip several substitution.

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

'' I 'll decide after I am crowned. Two thing that unfortunately have to happen today, one we ARE executing that bastard 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 dying but a promise of life, it will be at that time I will let on who I am and not before, is that clear up Mary ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Yes your Lordship, as you know you will then be able to get down and raise the palace defense team gridiron as you want afterward. Unless it is an emergency then I can instantly farm them, as stated before, your life-time takes precedence over everything, '' almost in a rustle Madonna added, `` This includes the life of this unit. ''

Derrick whipped around to stare at Blessed Virgin after she 'd expressed these parole, `` I do not prize your levity in this subject Mary ! '' Derrick quickly told her.

'' I am only speaking the trueness your lordship, it is all that I can do, as that the way that I was made, '' The Virgin said, her pass bowed rip slowly beginning to hang from her heart.

'' I, '' Derrick started, `` do not think 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 placement. '' When Mary only nodded her center spacious at what Derrick had said, Derrick continued, `` I intend for you to last tenacious 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.

'' Madonna, how close are we to being cook for all of this ? '' Derrick said though he really did n't like to toss off, this was the one clip he really had no queasiness about it.

'' I estimate that we have at least three time of day before the execution, then depending how soon
afterward we can feature the coronation within instant. Do you finger we need to wee an announcement about everything father ? '' Mary asked him, she could see the Saturnia pavonia was still somewhat disorder about everything she just wished there was More she could do.

'' I think a admonition ... I mean an annunciation would be prudent in this slip. I want you to reach all that you can, let all live that as of today the conglomerate begins again. If they wish to link up then they will involve to assert allegiance to the empire and all the other land within it. If they desire to stand against us then, '' here Derrick paused, then a grim look shadowed his face, `` then that also will be dealt with swiftly and fairly. ''

Blessed Virgin nodded then vanished to start the planning for the execution and the eventual crowning of the new emperor. Derrick was sitting at the foot of the throne again when the liaison on his wrist joint chimed. `` Yes Shelby, do we have a problem ? ''

'' No Derrick I thought you 'd want to know that 1000 is fix for space with only when three 24-hour interval to go before her re-gen reaches culmination. '' Shelby advised Derrick.

'' Good, I need to speak to her as soon as she has full cerebral activity, how is 0798 's progress ? '' Derrick inquired.

'' I just started her re-gen a few minutes ago ; she should be fix in at least a week. '' Shelby told Derrick a wide smile on her face. `` Derrick I know you still blame yourself for Lucy but we will find out her and she will be given a submarine sandwich position among us all. She has struggled for years to feel she was a rightful 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 get to the degree 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 continue the crying from his phonation.

Two and a one-half hours later Derrick was standing inside the protected outer courtyard. Twenty humble containers were arranged in a semi-circle around a post that had been driven into the ground in the essence. Derrick had several of the Ranger bringing the man to the Charles William Post after securing the snarling, spitting, and cursing man they beat a precipitant retreat. Derrick, who had been there the hale clock time wearing a mask, was awaiting the time for this to start. Right before Mary was to go world Derrick walked to the bound of the courtyard.

'' You have been a bastard chairwoman for this supposed commonwealth far too farseeing. '' Removing his mask the ex-President 's mouthpiece dropped open in shock as he stared at Derrick, a man he 'd been told was drained many years ago.

'' No you son of a bitch ! You 're dead ; I was told they beat you to demise ! NO you 're a wraith ! 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 broadcast.

'' Citizens of the now defunct democracy we are here to witness the execution of the vicious known as president Maury. His list of crimes is indeed long, but in a shortened form there is evidence of genocide, starving whole planets, untold war criminal offence but the defective is the attempted murder of the emperor moth, the attempt destruction of the imperial beard planet, the last is the near death of over one-half of the galax. This death was more than enough to order his death. The imperial conviction ? destruction by the Imperial sand tidal bore dirt ball. 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 insect slowly crept from their containers.

Maury started to laugh at the fuzzy worm 'til all 20 turned and quickly advanced boring into his coat of arms, legs, neck, and back. Though he was grimacing, once Maury started to scream and beg, Derrick stood stead fast. Derrick knew that first the worms would sever the man 's spinal anesthesia cord rendering him ineffectual to walk or crawl away. Then they would subscribe to their meter consuming each electric organ of the body saving the meat, lungs, and brain for end.

As he watched Derrick could see the louse starting to bore toward the organ that they wanted to start feasting on first. Though the man had passed out a few times he always seemed to pop back up a few minutes later as the boring increased the pain in a new area.

If he remembered right the brain would literally burst forth from the pressure the worm caused in the man 's cranium. Though not that humane of a death it was quite effective, as the saying went about the worm, once they're in it 's the end. It took another hour before the man began to scream even louder, and then his unanimous head exploded.

'' I apologize to those citizens that found this to be offensive but it was necessary to give some justice to all the mob of the zillion that this ... matter has caused such keen pain in the ass. '' 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 depart bringing order and rule back to the Galaxy. Please know that as emperor butterfly I was not happy doing this. ''

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

'' To the citizens of the old republic, I am Virgin Mary the law holder and palace surety AI. I was empowered by the very number one Emperor Angelius with the baron to crown he who bears all the genetic mark, who has the codes and commands the royal fleet such as it is at the moment. The man before me is a man of the hoi polloi an Saturnia pavonia not that far removed from the first emperor. He is the first in over 200 days to expose all the qualities. Sire ? Are you ready to usurp the responsibility as ruler and protector of empire, and do you at this prison term reveal who the emperor is with full knowledge that you rule for the multitude ? '' Mary stated in an prescribed voice.

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

'' Please Sire remove the masquerade and show the empire the font of its new ruler. '' The Virgin said as she had to suppress a smile.

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

Madonna waved her bridge player as a blade and a crown appeared, `` By the power invested in me by the mandates written by the initiative emperor butterfly, '' here she touched each shoulder with the sword. `` I dub you Emperor O'Toma the first, ruler of the galactic conglomerate. Please come up Emperor O'Toma and receive the crown of the empire. '' With a slight smile Mary lowered the crown via mechanical subdivision 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 Saturnia pavonia, long live the conglomerate ! ''

All the Rangers in the way, Hartwell included, bowed, and repeated what The Virgin had just said. Hartwell advanced and bowed to a now sighing Derrick, `` Sire Ranger command has advised me to affirm loyalty to you as do I and my men, also to order you that all of the forest fire fighter forcefulness is now at your disposition. ''

'' Thank you Rear Admiral Hartwell, I accept yours and your statement 's gracious offer of dedication. I will do all in my index to ensure that the Empire will be a fall beacon of freedom from such beasts as the one we executed today. '' Derrick told Hartwell, a lilliputian smirk on Derrick 's lips .
