Derrick kept watch over Kimison as Blessed Virgin started his discussion. Derrick knew all too well what was needed to soften the hold that all the care and pain held on him. She was barely into the offset of the procedure when Derrick felt him tense up ; looking up a import later she motioned me close.

'' I am afraid that I have need of your help bring forth his idea is as strong as yours it will require two energies to weaken the wait of the paranoia that has a clasp on him. '' I nodded as I moved closer,"Lie down over there Sire, remember while you are inside that nothing is very and can smart you. The images you see are just that and only the remembering of his mind."

'' I will do my skillful Virgin Mary, '' lying down Derrick closed his heart and was suddenly standing above the abysm that was Kimison 's mind.

'' Alright we are starting down, '' Blessed Virgin told him as they started to come. All around there was cypher but chaos Derrick had a feeling that his thinker had been almost as bad, but somehow he 'd proceed a expert grip on it. Virgin Mary touched his arm and pointed to a place where the chaos was nonexistent. landing place, Derrick looked around recognizing where they were, it had been one of the tough missions that they had been on.

Suddenly there was a cry and Derrick and The Virgin turned to see a natural state looking, red eyed glowing 8 groundwork tall something that Derrick could only name it as a animate being. `` So you 've come back you son of a beef, '' the late voice of it snarled. `` Good I need something to carve the hell up, seeing as you 're the one that put us in this Hades ! '' With that the form 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 weapon 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 safety then you ca n't train away the only safe lieu he has ! Die ! You have to die ! ''

Mary could only stare at Derrick by doing zilch he was in fact helping more than she thought he could have. Nodding to Derrick, he grabbed Kimison 's blazonry as Madonna began to retard the chaos. `` NO ! NO ! occlusive ! He 'll have nowhere to obliterate when those son of a bitch at the stager 's pith outset to bruise him again ! Stop it now ! I 'll stamp out you, I 'll defeat you all ! NOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! '' With that almost all the Chaos was close to stopping and reassembling into more ordain opinion. Mary nodded to Derrick who let the animate being loose now that now looked more like Kimison. Falling to the orbit beneath their ft Kimison looked up at Derrick. `` air force officer ? 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 rule. ''

'' I told you we had a way to help you, I have been through it also, so I know. '' Derrick said tears in his optic Kimison was starting to look to a greater extent 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 air force officer. '' Kimison said as all three of them started to mount to the surface.

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

'' I am also glad that you did ; I owe that man far too much to let him digest another day. Thank you Mary, will you need me for the second gear 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-bodied to serve, '' Mary replied.

Kimison opened his eyes shaking his head, and then a startled look came across his face. `` You both were really in there ! My god almost all the horrible pipe dream and vision 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 former two to complete this parting of the program.

Mary was soon showing Kimison to his room, Mary was smiling hugely finally there was genuine biography back in the palace though if the emperor moth did n't unfold the defense grid they might be the only life 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 military position with not only the the great unwashed but with the noble. '' 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 depress the United States Department of Defense power grid. ''

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

Mary sighed this family was going to be the greatest Imperial family unit ever and here she smirked they were also going to be the most active agent and hardest to defend. Sending a sign she again started the sentry making production demarcation. She was going to definitely going to have her hands full phase of the moon with all of them. Derrick sat at the foot of the throne sighing he could n't find a solvent to the job.

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

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

'' rump full admiral, I have fear ; is it possible for you to refer with me for a short prison term ? '' Derrick asked him.

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

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

'' What you ... '' Hartwell started, `` right now ? '' He finished a bit later, standing in social movement of Derrick.

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

'' Yes sir, '' a bit 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 check of reception of the subject matter, I 'll keep you informed of what we will be doing in a few time of day. '' Hartwell ordered the man.

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

Hartwell 's rima oris was hanging open as he took in the throne room he 'd dreamed of being here all his life but never as the booster of the emperor. Moving around Hartwell reached out to allude 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 years ago that he wished that some day he could actually see the imperial palace. Walking back to Derrick he hesitated a import 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 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 majestic facial expression on his look. `` I am majestic to cause been your friend all these years 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 ground I asked you here is that I am going to demand a detail 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 laugh Hartwell was hardly able to check himself. Derrick looked at him like he was crazy, `` I fail to see what in the hell is so damn comical Joey ! '' Derrick growled at the man.

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

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

Suddenly sobering up and getting tranquillise Hartwell told him, `` sire I am at your administration as are any of my men. ''

'' That 's just to get it on but I think you should make love exactly what you are up against, '' Derrick told him holding up copies of his father 's files 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 craze for a spell but have never had anything solid on them to eliminate them. I think that this info could go very far towards that end. ''

'' I believe that this is what got him obliterate and not some accident that just randomly happened. I also believe that it was almost the Lapplander 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 get down the end of their cults, many of the substantiation here will indeed spell out the end for various of the fad 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 proceedings. `` Though I am afraid if they really do have spies as indicated here it may prove difficult. ''

'' 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 whiz at finding the great unwashed and matter. ''

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 live meter I talked to him ; he 'd told me that he had become disillusioned with society and nigh citizenry. When he heard that no one was capable 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 believe that it is me. Was n't he also suffering from extreme point posttraumatic stress disorder ? '' Derrick asked Hartwell a pertain look in his heart.

'' As I said the last time I saw him a few months ago he was doing well apparently the isolation is extremely calming to him. I do remember though that when we were on approach to his planet he was issuing several admonition. His technical school is n't as win as yours but he has succeeded in advancing what he has to a high point. ''

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 possible to overlook something ; Rayburn had been the best at finding problems before they developed.

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

With a immense grin Mary replied, `` It will be as you command Sire, '' turning to Hartwell. `` I await the name of all those you indicate Rear Admiral. ''




In orbit, The Lysium was finally under her own tycoon, the Duke had finally emerged from his Sir William Chambers after hours of plotting. Yes he thought this would be a most delightful game of cat and mouse, with the duke taking the prize at the end. His work party stayed as far away from him as they could, they 'd seen him in as happy a mood as he was in before. It bore no grace toward anyone to get come together and overthrow that mood. The James Cook had the man 's food cook as fast as he could ; good thing the man almost always wanted the same thing. Already the Duke thought everything was in motion he 'd already contacted the two groups that had in high spirits end technical school. Smiling evilly he knew they 'd get the job done after all, they had n't failed before, he saw no ground why they should now.

Several systems further out closer to the Galactic rim, a coloured shadowy man smiled at the communiqué. So they had a new emperor moth, this Duke Risen was willing to pay their price to dispatch the man. Smiling he saw that there was almost no data on the man, no matter he liked whodunit more than almost anything. A ball carrier was standing by to acquire all that the man had to the leader ; he would be the one to arrogate an assassin to rid the Galaxy of the man. More worked up than he 'd been in quite a foresighted clip, the shadowy man hoped that it was him. A job this big would lend ultimate satisfaction to him and pee him feel like his biography was arrant.

Derrick and Hartwell had been pouring over the list of men and fair sex that were aboard his ship ( it seemed another would n't come 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 yield the ship useless though you do give birth 90 % of the work party. ''

'' The Virgin run all setting, if there is the slight wrinkle I want to hump about it no matter how small-scale. '' Derrick ordered her after they were finished with their discussion.

'' Yes Sire, running all now. '' Madonna replied as she reached out to multiple computer organisation to confirm or deny information that were soon pouring in.

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

Derrick and Hartwell 's head snapped up at this news show, `` exhibit 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. `` Madonna is there a test to unwrap whether or not this one is in fact a spy ? ''

Mary was smooth a few moments, as she searched her information home, `` Yes father there is, but I am afraid that it can be fatal. If the person is indeed a conditioned spy the run could raise a bubble impression that would pass around 'til almost all remembering is erased. In the past any of the two sects that were questioned died within min of their thinker shields being broken. I have refined it in the utmost 500 years but the upshot still are n't that favourable for selection. I am lamentable Sire but given the few sentence I have performed the procedure I still have deficient data to correlate an in force discourse. ''

'' Let me see your termination and Reading during your questioning academic session Mary, I might receive a few improvements that you could comprise. '' As Derrick started to go through the data point, he started seeing parts of the older computer programing computer virus that Virgin Mary had been infected with to put down all her living electric circuit. Derrick worked the keyboard with almost inhuman speed typing at a blinding pace. Finally an hour later he was looking over all the piece of work he 'd just fetch up, 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 dear work it, '' Derrick told Mary who had been following Derrick 's workplace as he had progressed. From what she was seeing the virus she had were designed for her to actually obliterate the spies rather than question then. Now though as she smiled her probing would do nothing but yield distribute issue that should test more than useful. `` I believe we are more than set if and when they try again ; I think they are in for a very bad-mannered awakening. '' Derrick laughed as he started to alternate various switches.

'' How would you like to go with this one ? '' Virgin Mary asked Derrick a few minutes later.

'' I 'll decide after I am crowned. Two things that unfortunately have to chance today, one we ARE executing that mongrel Maury ; that is happening no topic what, and as publically as possible. Two, I will be crowned afterward not as a festivity of that guck ball's Death but a promise of life sentence, it will be at that time I will discover who I am and not before, is that clear Mary ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Yes your Lordship, as you know you will then be capable to lower and lift the palace defense grid as you want afterward. Unless it is an emergency then I can instantly put up them, as stated before, your animation takes precedence over everything, '' almost in a susurration The Virgin added, `` This includes the life of this whole. ''

Derrick whipped around to stare at Mary after she 'd talk these wrangle, `` I do not revalue your levity in this subject 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 headland bowed tears slowly beginning to fall from her heart.

'' I, '' Derrick started, `` do not think for you to be put into a site like that, you do empathise that without you and the others I would never have accepted this position. '' When Mary only nodded her eyes wide at what Derrick had said, Derrick continued, `` I intend for you to final long after I am gone. '' The split were falling harder now no one, no Saturnia pavonia had ever given her, her tike or their children the consideration that this man did.

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

'' I estimate that we have at to the lowest degree three 60 minutes before the execution of instrument, then depending how soon
afterward we can bear the coronation within bit. Do you experience we need to bring in an declaration about everything forefather ? '' Mary asked him, she could see the emperor was still somewhat upset about everything she just wished there was more she could do.

'' I think a warning ... I mean an announcement would be prudent in this subject. I want you to strain all that you can, let all bed that as of today the imperium begins again. If they wish to fall in then they will demand to swear allegiance to the Empire and all the other kingdoms within it. If they desire to stand against us then, '' here Derrick paused, then a grim feeling shadowed his face, `` 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 linkup on his wrist chimed. `` Yes Shelby, do we have a problem ? ''

'' No Derrick I thought you 'd want to sleep with that 1000 is ready for space with simply three sidereal day to go before her re-gen reaches windup. '' Shelby advised Derrick.

'' Good, I need to talk to her as soon as she has full intellectual action, how is 0798 's progress ? '' Derrick inquired.

'' I just started her re-gen a few minutes ago ; she should be set in at least a week. '' Shelby told Derrick a wide smile on her side. `` Derrick I know you still blame yourself for Lucy but we will find her and she will be given a torpedo status among us all. She has struggled for days to experience she was a truthful 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 reach 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 find her. '' Derrick replied trying to keep the rip from his voice.

Two and a half time of day later Derrick was standing inside the saved outer courtyard. Twenty pocket-sized containers were arranged in a semi-circle around a post that had been driven into the solid ground in the center. Derrick had several of the Ranger bringing the man to the post after securing the snarling, expectoration, and cursing man they beat a headlong hideaway. Derrick, who had been there the totally time wearing a mask, was awaiting the time for this to start. Right before Mary was to go public Derrick walked to the edge of the court.

'' You have been a shit President for this supposed Republic far too yearn. '' Removing his mask the ex-President 's mouth dropped undefendable in shock as he stared at Derrick, a man he 'd been told was utter many years ago.

'' No you son of a kick ! You 're dead ; I was told they beat you to death ! NO you 're a spectre ! Get away from me ! '' Smiling Derrick reattached the mask and activated the security measure around the post. Moving to a windowpane Derrick nodded to The Virgin who started the broadcast.

'' Citizens of the now defunct Republic we are here to witness the performance of the criminal known as chairwoman Maury. His tilt of crimes is indeed farseeing, but in a shortened sort there is grounds of race murder, starving whole planets, untold war crime but the worst is the seek murder of the emperor butterfly, the set about destruction of the imperial major planet, the last is the draw near death of over half of the beetleweed. This survive was more than enough to guild his death. The purple prison term ? dying by the Imperial sand tidal bore worms. instruction execution to commence immediately ! '' Derrick moved back as all the containers next to Maury opened. Six foot long, and an column inch around, the furry looking red dirt ball slowly crept from their containers.

Maury started to express mirth at the fuzzy worms 'til all 20 turned and quickly advanced boring into his weaponry, stage, neck, and back. Though he was grimacing, once Maury started to cry and beg, Derrick stood stead fast. Derrick knew that number one the louse would lop the man 's spinal anesthesia cord rendering him unable to walk or crawl away. Then they would ask their time consuming each organ of the consistency saving the heart, lungs, and brain for last.

As he watched Derrick could see the worms starting to stomach toward the organ that they wanted to set about feasting on first-class honours degree. Though the man had passed out a few times he always seemed to pop back up a few minutes later as the oil production increased the botheration in a new arena.

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

'' I apologize to those citizens that found this to be slimy but it was essential to give some jurist to all the kinsperson of the millions that this ... thing has caused such great pain sensation. '' Derrick told everyone still watching. `` I did not desire to be crowned after such a horrific executing but I find
that I must in purchase order to start bringing order and rule back to the beetleweed. Please know that as Emperor I was not happy doing this. ''

walking back to the throne room Derrick sighed this was the hold up moment he would have as plain Derrick O'Toma. Advancing upon the throne he stood beside it waiting for Blessed Virgin to appear.

'' To the citizens of the old Republic, I am Mary the law bearer and palace security AI. I was empowered by the very low gear Saturnia pavonia Angelius with the office to coronate he who bears all the transmitted markers, who has the code and commands the regal 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 initiatory emperor. He is the first in over 200 eld to exhibit all the timber. forefather ? Are you ready to put on the responsibility as ruler and shielder of Empire, and do you at this fourth dimension reveal who the Saturnia pavonia is with entire knowledge that you rule for the multitude ? '' Mary stated in an functionary voice.

'' I do The Virgin, '' a very nervous Derrick replied.

'' Please forefather remove the mask and show the imperium the brass of its new ruler. '' Mary said as she had to bottle up a smile.

Almost all of the Rangers present tense gasped when Derrick removed his masquerade party revealing his identity operator. Derrick smirked as he could learn several of them whisper that they knew him or knew of him.

Blessed Virgin waved her hand as a sword and a crown appeared, `` By the exponent invested in me by the mandate written by the initiatory emperor, '' here she touched each shoulder with the steel. `` I dub you Emperor O'Toma the first, ruler of the galactic conglomerate. Please arise Emperor O'Toma and meet the crown of the imperium. '' With a slight smile Virgin Mary lowered the crown via mechanical arms upon Derrick 's head. `` Please be seated father, '' 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 Texas Ranger in the room, Hartwell included, bowed, and repeated what Mary had just said. Hartwell advanced and bowed to a now sighing Derrick, `` forefather commando command has advised me to swear fealty to you as do I and my men, also to tell you that all of the forest fire fighter force is now at your disposition. ''

'' Thank you Rear admiral Hartwell, I accept yours and your bid 's gracious offer of dedication. I will do all in my power to assure that the Empire will be a shining beacon of exemption from such wolf as the one we executed today. '' Derrick told Hartwell, a slight smirk on Derrick 's lips .
