'' It is over, brother. '' Kandra said as several guards placed the Delcron in restraints. The Delcron struggled then saw that it was useless. `` We again have ally, as you can see, '' Kandra pointed to the two immense ships. `` They are far more herculean than we are. ``

'' You are deluding yourself if you think that, they will actually aid us. '' The restrained Delcron sneered at Kandra.

'' I know enough, enough to know that, they are far more honorable than you will ever be. '' Here Kandra pointed to the vista screen showing the hundred of destroyed ships in orbit. `` That is a polarity of a Coward, attacking without even a fortune to die with honor. I should behead you, here and now for your treachery. ``

The, restrained Delcron again sneered, `` so like you brother, to do this with no hon ... ''

'' No, '' started Kandra, `` I have decided to decollate you before the people, to let them see just how foul you are. ``

The restrained Delcron 's face showed shock, then a spirit of contempt returned. `` What do you have a go at it of honor ? You, who left your people alone as well as home existence undefended ! ``

'' Not undefended 'til you destroyed the nursing home fleet. You treacherous piece of filth ! You care not for the empire, as is plain by the destruction. '' Kandra said between clenched teeth.

'' So, it will be that way, Good ! I Kattra, challenge you for the stool. By family, by law, by the throne, you can not deny me this. After I take your foreland and your inwardness, all will live what I already do, that you are unfit for the stool. I can therefore deny that you were ever related to me as if I do now. '' Kattra spit out.

Kandra 's eyes flared as a low growling issued from his pharynx. `` I accept your challenge, that way I can finally blot out the ignominy of the family unit. ``

'' It shall be me that restores this category 's honor. Afterwards we will squander these new friend away with our superior fleet. '' Kattra sneered.

Kandra was about to speak then realized the imbecility of speech production in ire. `` You are far more arrogant than I at first thought. We are nothing to these new Allies. I among many, saw them extinguish almost half a Creagon battle fleet with relaxation. One should be good forewarned before one can form claim as you have. ``

'' Bah ! Our own ships can do this as well, '' Kattra hissed out.

'' True enough brother, though not within a minute. '' Kandra replied. Kattra 's eyes flared astray a here and now as Kandra replayed the Recent epoch battle. `` Do not recall you can just walk in and assume the empire. ``

'' It matters not, I will ascend the throne of our world. I have more connections than you 'll ever know. '' Kattra again sneered.

'' Perhaps, though as I am indisputable you learned, having an empire and ruling an empire, are two dissimilar affair. From what I have seen ? The empire would n't have lasted a twelvemonth if that under you. '' Kandra calmly stated. `` To make sure you do not ... forget our ceremonial, you will stay here, 'til it is clock time. ``

Kattra began to struggle more, `` you can not do this ! ``

'' Oh, but I can, I am still the lawful emperor 'til I am defeated. Having made this challenge, you will persist to complete it. '' Kandra said.

'' Have no fear you great buffon, I will be there and I will prevail. I will show all of the land that, I am the rightful ruler of this realm ! '' Kattra again spit out.

'' We Shall see brother, take him to a cadre, he is to be treated well. If any harm comes to him, ANY harm, those responsible will be severely punished ! '' Kandra growled.

The guard duty on the bridge quickly bowed as Kattra was taken away. All could try him nearly screaming in protest, along with a great many threats.

Kandra turned back to the opinion concealment that held the mug of Lowell Jackson Thomas. Thomas the doubting Apostle face held a wide grin at the dramatic play he 'd just viewed.

'' It 's with ruefulness that I had to involve our allies in this internal affair. '' Kandra said.

Thomas nodded, then slightly bowed, `` As you said, it is far different ruling a land, than having one. As my own emperor has said it can at times be more than frustrating. ``

Kandra nodded his brain, `` so your emperor is learning quickly. It is good that he is far smart than I thought he was at first. '' Thomas 's boldness changed to anger at this comment. `` Relax friend, I meant no offence, the fact that he is as chic as he is shows promise. ``

Lowell Thomas visibly relaxed, the others and I have been through far too often with him. We owe him our living many clock time over, so we are highly devoted to him. ``

Kandra saw the sincerity and feeling of fierce devotion on Dylan Marlais Thomas face. He had n't seen anything like that since his father was alive.

'' It is honest to possess such trueness from those around you. '' Kandra said feeling a bit of jealously.



Jimison hit the wall at an accelerated speed, Difina quickly hitting the wall side by side to him. They were breathing hard as they both growled at their overlord Kimon. No matter how a great deal faster they got, they still had n't been able to get a hit in.

They both moved into defensive stead, though Jimison could imprecate that for the briefest moment he 'd seen a grinning on their passe-partout 's face.

Kimon had indeed smiled for a s, not only had they listened, they were no longer slow. Then again, he thought, they were barely challenging him. True they were far more deadly than they were a hebdomad ago they still needed more.

'' So, '' Kimon started, `` it appears that I wo n't have to kill you after all. Though as easy as you are still moving, I am not seeing that much hope either. ``

'' We are sorry master we are doing all we can to learn, is there any early lesson we need that would aid ? '' Jimison said as he bowed to the floor.

'' Hmmm, perhaps, what I said before still applies. What I think the both of you need to do, pass out further. feel for more than drive, also heat, the speech sound of a heartbeat, the smell of perspiration. Feel for the zip that you have, far unlike than that of your opponent. Go rest think on this, we have little time left before your joining, then your departure. '' Kimon replied.

Both bowed as they departed the training elbow room, Kimon pulled a comprehensive a instant later. Setting it on the story he activated it.

A moment later a hologram of Derrick appeared. `` They are finally starting to kick upstairs into the gamey var. of the art. I am not sure if they will be where I want them to be in two weeks. They are more deadly now, though they will need far more if they are to survive. ``

'' You 're telling me you will need more metre ? Not indisputable if I can get it for you, a few mean solar day yes, another calendar week ? Not sure if we can get that, especially since her not returning could induce civil unrest on her planet. '' Derrick replied.

Kimon sighed, `` I will do my expert forefather, it will help though I may take to go to them. Without the full training they may not outlast that long. ``

Derrick nodded, `` do all that you can, they may surprise you. hell, as I remember Greeson did. ``

Kimon nodded, `` that was reliable sire we shall see. ``



Hartwell could only shake his head at the further meter reading Johnathon had displayed. The more he saw the angrier he got. constitute the males of Bee 's major planet so afraid of the females, that they did this ? What in the inferno had they been thinking ? laterality was one matter, this ? This seemed to be an extreme pattern of deadening decease and torture.

It was taking all Hartwell had not to growl nor hit and flap upon something. Shaking his chief, Hartwell knew that Bee would get More afraid if he lost his temper.

Fortunately, Hartwell was watching Bee when she started to slightly throb. Even before several alarm system went off as Johnathon appeared next to the bio-bed.

'' I am reading an adverse reaction to the built-up chemical within her blood stream. I am also reading a eccentric of partial immunity, one that is rapidly failing at the moment. '' Johnathon said.

'' Is there anything that you can do ? '' Hartwell asked.

'' The counter measures I injected her with, added to that though, '' Johnathon was saying when Bee, started to scream as her body started to convulse.

'' Damnit Johnathon ! Fucking do something ! '' Hartwell shouted.

'' I am administering more than of the riposte measuring stick, though much more than than this may kill her. So far the response is slowing though she is still in risk. '' Johnathon answered.

'' I thought you said that this would influence ! '' Hartwell shouted feeling completely powerless. He looked closer at Bee even as her soundbox was still shaking.

Bee 's expression turned toward Hartwell, `` I am sorry My Lord that I was n't stronger, please do not penalise my sister and the others. ``

'' Bee, I would never do that to them or you. I thought you knew that by now. '' Hartwell said.

'' I am sorry My overlord, it takes a very long time for us to intrust, as you say anyone. Even more so a male, especially one that we feel so deeply for. '' Bee said as she screamed again, her back lifting off the bio-bed, then she went hitch as she lost consciousness.

Johnathon issued a suspiration as he nodded to Hartwell. `` All her biologic readings are returning to normal. I have all medical book from female parent and my brother and baby searching for a curative. It does look that we have a partial though we will need a complete remedy. ``

'' I my go out on my own and show the Male of her major planet, what truthful penalization is. I may be a civilian soon at the rate I am going. '' Hartwell growled out.

Johnathon could only stare at Hartwell after this statement. Surely the emperor moth would allow for them to stop her satellite 's mistreatment without so much violence. Then again, as the A.I. had seen, with the many 100, it might be the only thing that might work.

Hartwell watched closely as Johnathon worked at break-neck speed to heal Bee. `` I hope that you can help her Johnathon, I would finger lost if you ca n't. I am starting to have intuitive feeling for her, Thomas More than I thought I ever would. ``

'' I have noticed that your respiration, spunk rate, pulse all seem to speed up when you are skinny, Bee as you call her. As you said you have feeling for her, I have seen this before. I believe that the humanoid at that fourth dimension said they were in love. Are you in this love prime ? '' Johnathon asked.

Hartwell sighed, `` I 'm not sure Johnathon, never been in honey so, I am not sure. affair is though, I need to obtain out before I get myself killed. '' Neither noticed the slight smile on Bee 's face.



Oni was starting to originate slightly irritated. Kimon, had left here and now after Mara Callie had entered the room. The only job was that the thirster Oni had tried to get Callie and Greeson to talk the less they did.

Here it was hours later, they were no closer to a resolution than they were when they started. A pocket-size growl issued from her pharynx as she looked at Callie and Greeson.

'' I believe that I now see my intended 's foiling with his students. I see that, I am going to have to go about this differently. '' Oni said. deep in thought a few moments Oni finally nodded. `` I believe I have a solution for this situation. ``

'' A solution ? '' Greeson said.

'' Yes, Gakusei of my better half. It is obvious that you have a keen hatred for this female. You are my mate 's enceinte Gakusei, therefore I suggest that you kill her now, so you can remain breeding. '' Oni said calmly.

'' putting to death me ? I 'm not so surely the Emperor would care that. I am one of his general 's daughters, also a ship maitre d' of one of his ships. I ... '' Callie was saying seismic disturbance in her voice.

Oni was waving her hand in a dismissive fashion, `` It matters not, we need the expectant scholarly person back. Since the both of you refuse to blab, to end this emotional conflict, you should end her therefore the conflict. ``

Greeson 's mouth dropped open as he could only stare at Oni, then at an even more amaze Callie.

'' Well ? '' Oni breathed out, `` what are you waiting for ? We need the Gakusei, not a useless Orokamono ( changeling ). ``

The flavour of jolt, then growing anger on Greeson 's face, had Oni hiding her smile.

'' NO ! I refuse ! I did not learn the art to stamp out one who does not merit nor deserve it. '' Greeson growled.

Oni gave a tepid sigh, `` fine then I will end her. We can not have a Orokamono dishonoring the art nor the kindred. In this way we can regain face, I am sure that the exalted one will forgive this. After all, we are at war at the here and now, in war there are sacrifices that must be made. ``

Oni flipped up, then rapidly advanced upon Callie. Again, she hid a smile as Greeson moved even faster to block her way. `` I can not allow this, '' Greeson growled out.

'' Ha ! You have no choice, move so that we can regain the bully Gakusei of my teammate, restore honor. '' Oni said calmly. `` As I said, it is obvious that you harbor gravid hate for the female. Once she is no more you can return to your preparation. ``

Oni went to move past Greeson, only to be blocked again, then Greeson attacked. Oni nodded as, she saw that her architectural plan was starting to work.

Callie could only look on as the both of them vanished. Slowly she tried to fawn to the doorway, only to deliver a loud thud land in front of her. She 'd only managed to run two feet, when there was a tatty clump. Both Greeson and Oni appeared flying in opposite directions.

They both bounced off the walls towards each other, both stopping unforesightful in movement of each other.

'' So, why should I allow her to live ? What potential reason can you birth to stop me ? '' Oni said to Greeson this clip her voice heavy with anger. `` Not those misfortunate rationality you gave before, the real number reason, now, or I will continue. ``

'' I can not leave it, I love ... '' Greeson started then stopped a look of uttermost surprise on his face.

A queer look came to Oni 's feature film, `` you love ... what ? ``

'' I ... I ... I love, '' here he turned toward Callie. `` I love you. '' Surprise turned to take aback on Greeson 's typeface as he tried to prompt to Callie. Try as hard as he could Greeson found he could n't move a sinew. Greeson 's head lowered as he almost whispered, `` I lost control, when I thought that she only cared for the mental image of what I am, not who I am. I thought that she only wanted to use me, operate me, ruin who I am. ``

Oni looked toward Callie who had a look of revulsion on her brass. `` You thought that I was trying to control you ? What I said about deciding, that was me, I decided that you were the only one that I wanted. I am sorry you thought, that I had decided for you with no thought to what you wanted. I had hoped that it was me, I was so gladiolus when YOU said that you wanted me. ``

Greeson was nodding still in thought then his headland snapped toward Oni as a smiling started to develop on his face. `` Well, it took you farseeing enough. You are very often like your master, so good at the art, so slow with life. '' Oni said with a wide smile, `` though if you tell him I will traverse any word of this conversation. ``

Greeson bowed low, `` I would not dishonor you nor master Kimon. ``

Oni smiled slightly as she moved toward Callie, who was backing away from her as fast as she could.

'' I am not going to harm you, I only did that to bring out the genuine Greeson. I had to get the genuine one to the forepart so that he could regain command. '' Oni said as she stopped still seeing a look of fearfulness on Callie 's face. With a sigh she backed up then nodded to Greeson.

Greeson nodded back then moved to Callie, whispering in her ear.



Derrick was relaxing, possibly the first time he 'd been able to since not long after all this started. Mary 's architectural plan to update the ranger fleet was going far better and faster than he hoped.

Even as his body relaxed, he was still expecting all sin to break release. He 'd actually descend asleep for an 60 minutes when all the coms. went off at the same time. A sigh left his lips as he stared at the Holo-grams of Mary, Dylan Marlais Thomas, Hartwell, his gramme, Manassa Mauler, Oni and both Shelbys.

'' Alright, Thomas you first. '' Derrick 's slightly frustrated part said.

'' It appears that we stopped a coup by Emperor Kandra 's brother. Should I still observe or get involved ? '' Thomas asked.

Derrick looked over the information Thomas sent, nodded then said, `` you can help though I suggest that you display as little power as you can unless asked. Only to assist not destroy. ``

'' Thank you, sir, '' St. Thomas responded then his Holo-gram vanished.

Derrick then turned toward his Gram, `` gramme ? Is everything all right ? ``

'' I think you need to see your mother soon. I am afraid that she thinks that you blame her for what happened. '' She said.

'' Yes, gram I 'll verbalize to her ... '' Derrick started.

'' No, you need to see her personally, this is n't something that you can just spill the beans to her about. She needs you son, more than you realize. '' The Holo-gram of Milley O'Toma said.

Derrick 's eyes opened full as he realized what his Grams was saying. `` I will go as soon as I finish with all here g. ``

'' Thank you, son. '' His Grams said, then her Holo-gram vanished.

Derrick then focused on Kimon ; I take it you need more clip still ? ``

'' Yes father, though I was thinking, perhaps a day or two off to let her go home then render ? It might put a muffler on the civic unrest, especially if she can explain. '' Kimon said to which Derrick was nodding.

'' I 'll bring it up with emperor Kandra as soon as I can. It appears he just stopped a putsch of his empire, that and he was challenged. '' Derrick said as Kimon nodded then his Holo-gram vanished.

'' I take it everything went well ? '' Derrick asked Oni.

'' Yes sire, they are both salutary, especially Greeson. '' Oni reported.

'' commodity, again you have honored us and your kin group with this service to the empire. '' Derrick replied.

'' Thank you sire, father will be pleased. '' Oni said as then her Holo vanished.

This time Derrick turned to both the ship Shelby and Mary 's holo-grams. `` You have everything ready for the fire warden. '' Derrick watched as they both nodded, though noticed a perplexed look on Mary 's nerve. `` What's damage Mary ?

'' The new area that has been opened ; I have been getting anomalous version from just past the new area. I was n't going to say anything 'til I had more data point, then I remembered you said to cover anything odd. I am continuing to pull together datum ; I am doing as you ordered. '' Mary said.

Derrick looked over the data so far then nodded, `` keep on it Mary, let me get laid. I am sorry I have had you so engaged Shelby. ``

Ship Shelby smiled, `` I am glad that I can be as utilitarian as I have been Derrick. I will inform you when the adjacent emerges. ``

'' I thank the both of you, I depend on you two greatly. '' Derrick said, both Holo-grams smiling then they vanished.

Derrick turned with a leaden sigh ; he 'd seen the look of extreme anger on Hartwell 's expression. `` You want to lash out the Tendraxians, you have since you found Bee. You do retrieve that a hell of a lot of them were destroyed by the thermic missiles, right ? ``

Hartwell took a late breath trying to calm down `` that was only the one here. There are still a bunch of the morons on the satellite. They need, NO ! They have to be punished ! ``

Derrick was about to say something when he saw all the datum that Hartwell had gathered. `` What the hell ? ! They actually did this to the female population ? '' Derrick 's face twisted into a look of craze. Taking a cryptical breath Derrick shook his head. `` I know you want revenge, but if you do this, are you any better than them ? ``

'' You know that I am pissed as hell, though, '' here Hartwell took another breath. `` I know that she would hate me. We have to do something before the female person die from this. ``

Derrick sighed as he nodded yes, `` we will without destroying what 's left of the manlike population. Though I think that a sense of taste of their own medication might be reserve in metre. ``

Hartwell nodded then sighed, `` we are working on a complete therapeutic, at the bit we are one-half way there. ``

'' good, keep me posted. '' Derrick said, then Hartwell 's Holo vanished.

The tranquilize in the room was almost deafen, Derrick had started to unwind when there was a throat clearing noise. Derrick looked over to the Empress. `` Sorry Shelby, all this going on along with the war. ``

'' I believe I understand most of it. I have a request from Mita, as well as myself. It appears that Sherry misses her uncle Derry. The Empress misses her Emperor, you do realize that we will have to try to farm an successor soon. I know, I know who has the clip, though if we do n't soon, Mary might lock the both us out. '' Empress Shelby said.

Derrick 's head snapped up to stare at Shelby, `` I am the emperor moth he would n't do that. ``

'' I would n't be so surely about that. Did you see anything in the mandates that the starting time Emperor set down ? '' Shelby asked.

Derrick was deep in intellection a moment as his mind raced over the huge document that Emperor Gregor set down. A few import later, Derrick, started to anathemise as he passed over the phrasal idiom that Shelby was referring to.

Derrick turned toward Shelby his eyes wide-eyed as he started to read through the mandate. A moment later Derrick nodded, `` she could though with us at war much of this item authorization is cancelled. '' He sighed as he continued, `` it does appear though that my movements and action s are severely circumscribe. ``

Mary appeared a moment later, `` I do hope that you realize that, until there is an inheritor ; I can not countenance you to be in harm 's way. The presentation of an Empress, to be by your side, does indeed change the normal. '' The Virgin said.

Derrick threw his arms up in surrender, neat now Virgin Mary was going to be watching everything he did.



It was two day later when Kattra was brought to an open way. He was already dressed in full-of-the-moon gear. Across from him another threshold to the room opened Emperor Kandra walking out also in full moon battle gear.

The same prime minister that Kandra had threatened before stood in the center of the way. Both the males walked up to support to each side of the chancellor.

The premier raised his arms for quiet. `` This is a personal battle, in the tradition set down through the ages. The victor will be the emperor, the loser another, dead body on the deck. In this contest both belligerent have a brand, two daggers, their armor and their claw. We will protrude after I check their weapon system. ``

The chancellor walked to Kandra withdrew his weapons, smelled and touched them, then replaced them. The chancellor then went to Kattra who slightly growled when the Male removed his weapons. Unlike with Kandra though, the Male only briefly inspected the weapons then replaced them.

The premier stepped away then raised a hand, `` begin. ``

Kattra smiled evilly as he led off with a mighty overhead strike that Kandra easily deflected. Kattra smiled wider as he swept his sword back, all the while drawing a obelisk attempting to cut Kandra 's arm.

'' So brother, you can not when a bonnie engagement you are that desperate ? '' Kandra growled as Kattra tried a slash cut up from the leftfield. Again, Kandra growled as he avoided another swipe from Kattra 's knife.

'' I will withdraw the throne by any substance potential, '' Kattra growled back.

They went at it for another half hour Kandra, barely missing being sliced several times. A small grinning came to his lips as he saw that indeed, his pal was growing expel, as well as baggy with his attacks.

Again, his brother made various swiping plan of attack, tone-beginning that Kandra side stepped, the last brushing close to his hide. This had Kattra laughing with almost insane glee.

'' Soon he who claims to be my brother, this will be over and you ? You will be all in at my paws. '' Kattra hissed.

Kandra only grunted as a plan formed then he nodded, the thing was though would his blood brother fall for it ?

Kandra rushed a surprised Kattra who deflected a downward diagonal bang, then twisted back with his brand. He went for a killing decapitating blow, only to stop short with a pant as Kandra 's steel pushed through his chest.

line of descent started to run from his mouth as he growled at Kandra then spit at him. `` Enjoy while you can, my followers will have your head in slight clip. ``

Kandra sneered as he yanked his steel free with a sad look. `` Not in this life time chum, '' he said as he watched Kattra 's body fall .
