He could feel it from where he stood, Stating down through the levels of coruscant towards where the bodies of the jedi he had slain lay.
The anger, Confusion and righteous indignation wept waves of emotion seldom seen from jedi into the force as a whole.
' Who is Aurra sing ' That was the name bouncing around the heads of the little jedi running around playing their little game of investigation. A happy coincidence he mused, Though he did contemplate simply tossing the padawans saber off of the walkway and into the abyss.
' It would do better to keep it... though I'll have to change the hilt' His own saber, Twisted as it was, would be a dead give away if he were to ever draw it out, Thus it remained hidden within his robes, Shrouded in a shield of force energy that kept it from being felt by others.
' This will do for now' His fingers danced across Cole's saber on his tunic belt before he turned away and walked towards his hanger reserved through his credentials gifted by the BoSS .
Thoroughly disappointed by the stagnation of his old enemies, Any sense of fear for their retaliation he might have felt simply dispersed into dust.
They couldn't kill him for his body refused to die. His soul couldn't be dispersed. He was more thought form and expression of energy at this point than any organic being. Attempting to kill him would by and large be an extension of futility on their part.
But that didn't mean he was going to go about murdering everyone, He'd learnt from the mistakes of the past. Grown and come to understand his shortcomings.
' Fear is meant for your enemies, Compassion for one's subjects with the strength to destroy civilisations keeps ants inline ' It was too late to lament on the past, The dead were just that and he had no intentions on resurrecting traitors.
With those thoughts jostling around in his head, He strode up the ramp of his ship and made his way to the bridge.
Sitting down in the pilots chair, Nox stared out of the hanger... a long beat of silence radiating through the cabin as he stewed in thought.
His disappointment had mounted to levels unheard of since he was child. All his efforts forgotten by history, every sacrifice he made, every action he took. The very reason his companions had even betrayed him in the first place... and for what. A galaxy that had turned to suffering more and more over time because the was more interested in lining the pockets of bankers than the good of it's people.
' Atleast when I ruled the galaxy, Nobody but the people in power complained' That was the crux of the issue. He hadn't been a bad emperor, hadn't sought destruction nor death. He had simply ruled and made his word law. He'd even claim to be loved by the general public from all territories.
It was those in power that feared his growing strength. With a fleet powerful enough to lay seige to the sith and jedi at the same time. As the emperor of Zakuul, He'd had it all.
Fear mongering by his enemies turned his allies against him. Harsh tactics to quell rebellion by terroristic forces was met with harsh criticism, even though other rebellions never rose again.
Sure he was selfish, craved power and actively sought to gain more. But who didn't.
Acina herself certainly sought power, she even manipulated the imperial allies at his side against him. The Wrath sought power and so dragged Arcann and his mother into the fray against him. Satelle, fearing he would become another vitiate before long, Leas the jedi and republic in a crusade against him.
Until finally, the blow that truly hurt came.
Lana knew, she knew that when he found out about the traitorous intentions of those in power of the republic and empire, that his reaction would be harsh... and devastating.
And so for the safety of the galaxy, she put her personal feelings aside ... and turned on him. Oh how stupid that had been.
Even now the sting of betrayal clung to him. He had loved ... he had trusted, and he had been stung.
He pondered not for the first or hundredth time if, if they were given the chance to see the galaxy today, would they be happy with their choice to betray him.
Everything he had seen, every wrong in the outer rim, every corporation running a government by controlling senators. Drove him to the belief that no, he hadn't been wronged.
When people are offered absolute power, it corrupts absolutely.
As he sat, his previously crystalline blue eyes turned a sulphuric yellow before turning pitch black with stars .
' Now ... more than ever ... I know I was right ' Nox felt his brow twitch, closing his eyes and letting out a deep ... long breath. Now more than ever, The people that suffered needed reprieve. Now more than ever, The scales needed to be ... reset.
' Maybe I will go about it a different way this time ... But fixing everything requires power ... and might '
'I've put it off ... long enough ' He reached for and pulled the cold box into his lap, unlocking the case with required code before withdrawing a codex.
' Here ... let's put this ' He began to put in hyperspace coordinates as the ship guided itself up through the atmosphere of coruscant until it floated above the planets canopy.
' Right ... There ' The final line in the series of coordinates was placed, as hyperplane beacons unused for thousands of years came to life after reading the tag of the X-70b . And with a sudden lurching of speed, hurtled towards the unknown regions.
... IOKATH ...
The dyson sphere, encircling a sun, with a total radius of over 100 million kms on radius. Stretched wide in every direction from the viewport of Nox's ship.
Codes known only to himself radiated from the dyson sphere larger than coruscant, a world capable of holding more life than any planet combined, lay bare before him in its silent looming glory.
With the light of a shining star, The only entrance to iokath peeled open a mechanical door spanning the continents shifted open with blinding white light radiating from within.
' Let's see what's become of you ' At his Urging, The X-70 b drifted forward into the light, With the access door sliding shut behind the ship, locking iokath off from the larger galaxy once more.
....
Silence welcomed his return to his factory world. A world left to rust and rot by the galaxy.
' Of course they left it to be... only I hold the keys ' He stepped up and stared out towards the expansive plates that made up the interior flat of Iokath's dyson sphere. The sun hanging high above like an eldritch God.
' You wouldn't have even noticed I was gone' He looked up at the sun at the centre of the sphere, It had been here long before he was even born ' Though at this rate I doubt you'll outlive me ... you shiny prick'
He walked to a command console sitting infront of his ship, Placing his hand onto the unused surface, It scanned his hand before every system within iokath lit up like a christmas tree.
Rumbling from far and wide across the sphere, Factories long since silent, Screeched to life.
Maintenance droids powered on in the trillions, immediately scanning for any damages they had sustained due to the passing of time.
Like an old war machine given new life, Iokath as a whole screeched to life like a revived corpse.
A world without organic life awaited his return, and his head lifted as he smiled for the first time since he return to the galaxy.
" Miss me?."
....THRONE ROOM ....
He sat himself down, slowly and with great satisfaction, Along the Gargantuan throne that had been constructed long ago at his bidding.
Made to replace the eternal throne, This golden and grey monolith spanned metres wide, with cushioned seats Nox could lay on, It was a throne fit for a towering God more than any man.
It's purpose was two fold, To control both the eternal fleet and the warmachines produced by Iokath with absolute authority. It, controllable only by his voice and biometrics alone, Answered to him ... and him alone.
" Scyva ... are you awake" The answer was as immediate as it was telling, As a robot several tens of metres tall burst into the throne room as large as many buildings, rocketing across the wide room before slamming down on one knee before her long lost emperor.
Radiating green from her eye sockets, the machine rose her head to stare apon Nox's form with chilling intensity.
" Your majesty... I've waited for your return ... for so long " Nox raised an eyebrow at her wording, Clearly the passing of time had allowed her to build apon her behavioural matrix.
" I'm sorry to have kept you waiting... I have been in seclusion for some time... though now that time has passed. Time has not waited for us... are you aware of the state of the galaxy beyond our home" Iokath, The throne world of his old empire... was now his home, Not nathema... not korriban and certainly not the cesspool that was coruscant. Iokath was his home now .
" Of course your majesty, As soon as you returned power to us, I downloaded and perused the data that has been collected from the outside" Nox inclined his head as Scyva's mouth trembled for a moment.
" My apologies your majesty. In your time of need I have not been present... and have allowed for those ignorant creatures to lay waste to your galaxy... would you have me punish them" As loyal as ever to her master and uncaring towards anything but, Scyva was prepared to loosen several seige weapons apon the galaxy at Nox's behest.
" We have weapons!?." Nox's questioning tone was clear, With Scyva nodding in the Affirmative.
" Our stockpile of warships numbering five hundred thousand in total , with resources enough to build several million more at your behest was completed three thousand eight hundred years ago. Our resources have been at maximum for two thousand five hundred years. I placed Iokath in long term status in waiting for your return two thousand six four hundred years ago and have been on stand by since " Scyva explained without any hesitation .
" Would you like me to order the fleets to re-establish order within the galaxy via galactic conquest " Scyva looked for permission to loose her fleet once again, her incessant need to control what was theirs flaring in her eyes.
Nox leant to the side and began to lay on his throne, shaking his head in denial.
" There is no need. I don't desire to rule a galaxy as ungrateful as ours again as of yet, though mayhaps in the future, Nor would we have the manpower to rule with anything but fear and terror. No ... I haven't come back to reclaim. I came to re-establish my home ... and collect you. I realised I have been looking apon this new galaxy through tinted lenses. I need a second opinion, I would like you to accompany me " Nox stared at the droid, her head tilting as she took a microsecond to process his request.
" Of course your majesty... though this form is undesirable for such a request " With hands as large as most adult humans, Her form right now was abit too big to fit in his ship " Please allow me a moment to build a more compressed form for our travels"
" Of course " And so, Nox waited. Not more than ten minutes later did a new machine of the exact same design walk in, This time scaled down to he the same height as Nox himself.
" Splendid work " Nox beckoned the machine over, looking over her compressed form woth an appraising eye" Splendid indeed "
" What would you have of my your majesty, What are your desires I may be able to fullfill " Scyva looked apon her master with nothing but devotion radiating her being.
" I want ... to experience all things to be done before the call of necessity drives me back to the throne. I haven't lived my life Scyva ... I wish to do so now " The drive to take every chance rumbled within him.
He wanted to eat all the fine cuisine of the galaxy, work as a farmer tending to their animals, work as a great philosopher that the masses listen to. He wanted it all, and now that he was back, there was no time like the present to do so.
" Don't look at me like that " He noted the droids confusion, Sure he was dissatisfied with the state of the galaxy, But that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy what there was to offer ... for now " The throne will be here forever more... I can rule the galaxy at any time I want, why would I ruin my own time by doing it now"
" I can't sit on a lakeside and stare into it when every planet in the galaxy needs policing... I've been there done that, I'll do it again later... let us go " He rose from his throne with a wide smile, Spreading his arms wide as the throne loomed over him, walking past Scyva who was still processing his desires with rapt efficiency.
" Are you coming scyva... I wish to see the state of my throne world"
" Of course your majesty"
...
Dead ... the forests meticulously grown by tending droids were nothing but patches of brown dirt. Spires of silver rose in every direction as droids long turned off, finally returned to their duty.
He could remember it, long ago, When people would lounge under towering trees in the university grounds . Grounds which were now silent, green fields to lay on were as dead as the grown biomes . Silence reigned supreme apart from the droids now going along planting individual seedling into the ground one at a time.
" Are you displeased your majesty" Scyva took notice of Nox's frown as he stated at the barren biomes he once enjoyed lounging on.
" Deeply ... " Time surely was merciless, Nothing of what he liked about the world currently remained. Not the people, not the urban sprawl of carefully curated biomes of diversity mixing either glistening silver durasteel. It was a barren shadow of what once was.
" I want everything restored to how it was, It displeases me to see it like this... I don't want to explore it anymore until it's back to the way I liked it" With a flurry of agitation, Nox turned and began a frustrated hike towards where the X-70 was located.
Scyva followed, Silently relaying his orders to the fleet of droids on world to begin regrowing the forests that had once merged with technology. She should have known he would be displeased by its current state.
And so they left, Not desiring to return until the process would be compelted, with scyva at the yoke controlling the ship.
" Where to your majesty " Her expectant gaze fell apon him as he stood behind her with arms crossed.
" Ilum "
...ILUM...
Spires of crystalline ice created continental shelves of glistening radiance.
As the X-70 dropped through the atmosphere of the restricted planet , their arrival on world went unnoticed by all, As they touched down amidst a calm portion of the planets ice and snow covered surface.
" Shall I accompany you master" Scyva asked as Nox wrapped himself in his black cloak, His binds wrapped tightly to ensure the least exposure possible to the hospitable cold.
" There's no need, Please guard the ship until I return " He clipped the hilt of the lightsaber that belonged to Cole, it's hilt interchanges with other pieces he had stored on board.
" Of course milord " The ramp opened as the biting cold suddenly spewed into the ship, with him stepping out into the chilled atmosphere of the planet outside.
However the moment his foot touched down on the planet. A ripple through the force drew his attention weastward .
An ability he hadnt used in qhite some time activated, before his perception . Fault lines in the fabric of the galaxy, threads of fate twisting and connecting to something in the distance.
' Am I ... ' A startling amount of shatterpoints seemed to move as if alive, In a direction some distance to the west.
Much like kreia , Satelle and many others through history, Nox was capable of perceiving the fault lines of the galaxy known as shatterpoints. Though from his observations many fault lines didn't exist for too long, Which was why he was confused this very moment. Seeing so many shatterpoints, connected to what was apparently a living thing, was nearly unheard of .
' It appears I'm not the only one here' And so his attention shifted in open curiosity, walking in the direction the shatterpoints seemed to radiate.
... JEDI CRYSTAL TUNNELS...
The tunnels, Absolutely filled with crystals of all shades and colours, Stretched on for untold tens of kilometres below ilums surface.
Many without a map would have gotten lost in the chilly crystalline tunnels within minutes. But guided by the threads of shatterpoints he could perceive with his minds eye , Nox strode confidently through the winds labyrinth of tunnels without pause nor haste.
A pair of voices echoed from the cavernous tunnels up ahead, where Nox could easily sense the life force of the two just out of eyes sight.
' The master is weak in the force but has ... considerable will ' A brief brush of his mental abilities told Nox that the master, While young to be one, Held a fortitude seen in few.
But it was the younger one that really drew attention, and made Nox pause for a small moment.
' Huh ... it's like looking at a reflection ' Countless hundreds apon hundreds shatterpoints cloaked the boy entirely in their grasp' Such a tragic sight ... to have fate so wound tight '
He stood silently at the mouth of the darkened tunnel, Tilting his head while staring at the boy.
He recognised the sheer amount of energy radiating from him alongside the amount of shatterpoints connecting to him as something ... else.
It was like when he was younger, a child whose fate was undetermined. He too had a similar predicament before he commandeered his own fate.
' I can still remember it ' The day he had shattered his own shatterpoint, It had nearly killed him outright. But his tenacity refused to allow his fall, And so he severed his own fate. It had been perhaps the most painful thing he had ever experienced, Soul rending, Every cell within his body felt like it had been on fire for what felt like eternity. But he had come out with something he hadn't had before ... control . Over himself, and of his fate.
' Poor kid ' He deactivated his force imbued sense, growing weary of staring at the boy for so long, Before he raised a fist to his face. A mask of benevolence rose across his features, Settling into a kind mask of setenty as he made use of the false light technique. His facial features shifted, Bones shifting and glowing in different directions until he had the look of an old jedi master he had once known. It wasn't just an illusion, But true and proper metamorphosis.
" cough cough " His method of alerting the two worked better than he expected, as they startled and leapt back, Hands flying to their sabers in surprise, two blades of blue erupting together .
" Ah ... sorry. I didn't mean to startle you" Curious about the boys identity, Nox approached, waving his hands in peace.
" Ah ... it's no worries" Assuming the man across from them was a member of their order, Since ilum was under their control, they lowered their weapons, disengaging the blades and clipping them back on their tunics belts.
" Hey kid mind tossing me the spare crystals there " Anakin blinked for several seconds as the jedi who had come up from deeper in the tunnels motioned to one of the spare crystals in his hand, One that hadn't been selected to be used in his lightsaber " I think that's the one I'm looking for "
" Oh ... sure " He slung the crystal through the air, which Nox, wearing the face of another man, caught with a smile.
" Thanks kid ... uh ..." His face became complicated, Studying anakins features closely.
" Skywalker ... anakin skywalker " the boy bowed his head slightly, though the confidence in his tone was clear to both his master and Nox himself.
' Cocky little shit' He rolled his eyes and turned his attention to the ginger haired jedi master at his side.
" Obi-wan kenobi ... and you are" Kenobi reached across to Nox with an extended hand in greeting .
' How should I do this ...' He'd rather not stay with the two for an extended period, he had many choices to guide this conversation from here onward. But right now, He needed them to at best forget this conversation entirely ' Ah perfect '
Another extremely powerful ability wound around both anakin and kenobi without their awareness .
Specifically the ability known as Memory rub which would activate and completely erase their knowledge of his presence, their conversation and any hint of his existence.
" Norman organa " He loved smoothly, Knowing exactly that kenobi would catch onto the trickery, though his urging would make the jedi masters thoughts fall in a different category.
Kenobi studied Nox's facial features closely, seeing that this young jedi did indeed have a rather striking resemblance to the organa family.
" You're here to construct your first lightsaber aren't you " Anakin beamed and produced his saber whilst kenobi took half a step back, continuing to study Nox's transformed body intently " A fine example... I have seen fewer fine examples of lightsabers during the war "
Now it was anakin and kenobi to turn pensive at his expression, as Nox turned anakins saber over in his hand before pointing it up and activating it, the saber screaming to life in his hand as he stared into the deep cyan coloured blade.
" War?" Kenobis eyes narrowed as he looked down the tunnel that Nox had come from, Seeing it went deep into the caves.
" Hm ... oh forgive me you're right. Since the senate signed the treaty with the sith we can'treally call it war can we, We've been in a state of... cold war" As if making a joke, Nox swung Anakins saber around in practice as Obi-wan and anakin looked at eachother.
Letting kenobi take the lead, He half shielded anakin as an outrageous suspicion began to form deep in his mind.
" Oh ... yes . A pity the council wasn't there " Obi-wan's shaky lips rose as this Norman organa tilted his head at them .
" It was, Though we're fortunate of their survival. With half the high council being wiped out during the despicable sith raid on coruscant" Now kenobi was entirely sure of this man's origin, his eyes closing in thought.
" A fine weight my young friend. I look forward to joining you on the battlefield" He handed the saber to anakin who sheepishly accepted.
" What are you here for my friend " Wishing to divert the conversation away, Kenobi turned his gaze to the crystals in Nox's hand.
" I keep seeing our brothers falling when their sabers are destroyed. I thought I should... have a few others spare " Norman smiled and pocketed the crystals with a dismissive wave.
" Actually that's a good idea ... " Kenobi thought it over, Instead of just collecting one, A jedi should perhaps collect one or two more so the threat of being weaponless wasn't so severe.
" Anakin ... do you feel any other crystals here calling to you " Kenobi asked , Though he personally couldn't feel any sort of pull, he thought he should atleast ask if anakin could.
" No master" Norman studied Anakin over for several more long passing seconds, taking a moment to study the sbatterpoints surrounding the boy more closely.
' Interesting. Not one of these has any sort of ... interaction with me... like I don't exist in these branches of time' Now that made the sides of Nox's lips rise, It seemed ... that not only had the galaxy forgotten his name, but fate as a whole seemed to miss his presence entirely within its ripples.
" Well "pleased by his findings, Nox smiled at anakin and kenobi for several long seconds " Its been a pleasure but believe I still have some ways to go before my digging here is done... I wouldn't want to keep you longer"
Nox's hand extended, And for one last time, He studied the threads of fates weaving that rose off of anakin and into the rest of the galaxy.
' Interesting indeed' He and kenobi shook hands before he turned to anakin .
" You will go far boy, I can sense your potential... make sure you live up to it" Nox then turned away and began to walk back into the tunnels' And maybe one day, When you've fulfilled your destiny as a jedi, I ... will come back and finish your training myself ... I can sense your future child... Potential like yours belongs under my grasp ... maybe ... unless I crush you before you can become a threat '
Kenobi and Anakin watched Nox dissapear into the shadows, with anakin turning to his master in silent questioning .
" Master what was that ... "
" That ... anakin ... was most like the spirit of a jedi who died long ... long " Their expressions went blank as the memory rub activated , The memories of the last conversation completely fading and their minds rushing to fill in the gaps with the most reasonable excuse for the mind blank " Ah yes the council needs us let's go "
Not twenty metres away, Nox's face rippled like water, Shifting back to his own features, brown hair returning to black. His crooked nose shortening back into its perfectly align place . Jawline sharpening and setting with a frown.
Now his interest in Anakin had reached an all time high, but as he was, he held no real desire to take him in. He didn't even know what fate Anakin would take let alone if he'd ever make any sort of suitable apprentice.
His trip back to the X-70 b was as quick as it was silent, where he walked into the ship and dropped the collected kyber crystals into a lock box on his lightsaber workbench.
Walking into the bridge where Scyva sat stating at him expectantly, Nox tilted his head in further contemplation.
" I just had a rather curious encounter ... "
....Ryloth...
Landing on the outskirts of Ryloths capital, Nox and Scyva disembarked from the X-70 b, looking towards the full yet archaic civilization that called this world home.
"Really?" He turned a raised eyebrow at Scyva who stared toward the city.
" Yes milord, It has been noted by many species throughout galactic ultimately reccomend the species known as Twi'lek as very maleable species.... " Nox rubbed his brow and let out a deep sigh.
" I dont think you've entirely under... you know what, never-mind ... let's see what pleasantries they have for offer" He grumbled about the droids actions, suspecting she may have actually known entirely what she was doing.
" I knew you would agree master, I have downloaded a map of the most popular places in lessu city for tourists to attend" Scyva quickly came forward to see take charge and guide her emperor in their journey.
...
" Disgusting" He felt bile rise in his throat as a Twi'lek and her child ran by infront of him, the desire to clean his body all over overcoming him.
" Is there any bath houses or hotels nearby, I feel the need to clean myself" Scantly dressed were the females of this species, Showing off flirtatiously to tourists in order to try and elicit services.
It wasn't just xenophobia that made Nox despise these creatures in their need to flaunt themselves at anything with a pulse. It was his knowledge of their creation that made him sick.
Twi'lek history was as mapped out as the stars for Nox, Whom as a seeker of knowledge. Once found himself oddly curious about the alien species origin.
Ashaa , The machine that rebuilt his body into an immortal vessel had once claimed to have created the Twi'lek race. Though he found that statement odd due to the fact that Twi'leks appeared to have pre-dated the machine itself. What he believed to have happened was the Rakata took an already established species of Twi'lek... and modified them, making a new subspecies... turning an already Disgusting species into a race with no soul nor shame.
That was why these particularly appealing Twi'lek disgusted him so even if they were pleasing on the eye . They were the spawn of Ashaa, Made for reproducing with many species, A literal sub species designed for little more than sex and reproduction ... they had little to no use outside of that.
" Do you see any that appeal to you master" Nox felt sick at Scyva's insinuation, The desire to pull her circuits apart rising for a moment before he let out a deep breath.
" No ... you know how I feel about these things scyva " He physically recoiled as a particularly flirty dancers rubbed her hand against his arm.
" I do ... That is why I brought you here milord . To reignite fond memories" Scyva's true motivations came to light, She knew he hated them... and so she was using that dislike to bring him out of his funk that he had been stuck in , twisted logic but it apparently worked on some level.
" Thank the force, I thought you wished for me to mate with them " Scyva waved her hands at Nox's admission.
" I wouldn't dream of it milord, I'd sooner see you reproduce with a specifically tailored droid than these creatures " Scyva hissed , the thought of Nox degrading his holy body with these things made even her circuits boil.
A true member of the old soth empire through and through. Where xenophobia and rampant racism were a staple of their people. Even though he later she'd the shackles of being a mere sith, his disdain for anything other than what appealed to him remained.
He didn't hate alien species for looks, social constructs or beliefs. No he hated weakness above all. It didn't matter if you were human, sith pureblood or celestial. If they allowed weakness to fester, He held a mind throbbing dislike for them. He was, in a word, a fine believer of might makes right ... and if they didn't have the physical, Martial or political might to stand up for themselves, he hated them all .
' And they haven't stood up for themselves since their inception... spineless creatures, no better a pet than a sentient partner' So a race of cowards who bent to the whims of every race around them sickened him to the depths of his soul.
During his thoughts, A blue skinned fat twilek male barged on apss with a enterage of females of his species.
" Excuse you" The fat well dressed alien wound and glared at Nox,With Scyva's head tilting around 180° degrees to stare at the twilek.
" I beg your pardon" Nox tilted his head, This fat creature had barged into him and now was huffing and puffing in a way it thought itself to be of some power.
However before they could continue, one of this fat slobs female companions leant up to his ear and whispered, the fat things face changing for a moment before it gave Nox one final look over before speaking once more.
" Pfff consider yourself lucky human i have things to do" Taa and his women spat at Nox's feet before laughing and walking away, all the while Nox stared at his back in departure, Eyes narrowed dangerously in barely concealed agitation.
" Did he just ... spit at me " Veins bulged in Nox's neck, fingers curling into whitened knuckles.
" Indeed master, Analysing data, Senator orn free taa ... of house free taa , their names mean brave ... " She spoke at length about taa's identity, everything he did everything he liked, all the while Nox refused to look away from where Taa had been.
" Does he have any family " Nox asked
" Yes master, A sister named... " She didn't even get to finish her sentence before Nox cut her off.
" I know which one I want" Without further explanation, Svyva stepped forward with a beckoning wave, her map already displaying the quickest method to the Free Taa estate.
...
Orn smiled as he beckoned his wealthy backer 'friends' from all over the galaxy to practice legal ' slavery' sanctioned by the republic at his behest.
" I'm glad you could make it my friends I have prepared the best we have available for you all at my family estate" Certainly not the first gathering they had nor would it be the last. This was one of his many methods of gaining and maintaining working relations with many of the galaxies larger and more far reaching parties throughout the galaxy.
The skiff that guided them through the streets made many chuckle as Twi'lek of all ages and genders were forced out of the way lest they be run down.
Winding their way up through the streets of lessu until they found themselves in a wealthier part of the still archaic city.
An estate of guard towers and high rises met them, a home fit for the wealthiest family in the city to dwell and conduct their depraved acts .
One by one everyone disembarked infront of the estate gates, where two broad shouldered shritless Twi'lek males stood at attention .
" Just through here my friends "
...
Nox had scyva hold the girl by her neck atop the Taa estate, Her whimpering cries muffled by the mechanical fingers of his ever loyal servant. No matter how much she screamed or squirmed, nobody in the estate turned her way, nobody saw them.
Despite her brother being the one to offend him, Amafter scouring the estate he found hismelf rather liberated in what he was about to do. In no way was any member of the free taa family innocent. Slave dealing, child trafficking, drug dealing, corruption to name a the few things he bothered actually verifying ... each and every member of the Free taa family appeared to have their hand in it all.
" You should make your peace without your God girl ... though I won't be answering ... there's no place for aliens like you in the empire I'll make " The fat slob below entered the courtyard of the estate, Guiding his enterage of associates to where he had a rather Disgusting assortment of slaves.
Her whimpers reached deaf ears as he motioned for skyva to act, and without a second hesitation, the machine rose and stepped up to the balcony, hefted the woman overhead and threw her down toward the ground infront of Orn free taa with all her impressive might .
...
The moment they entered the estate, they all heard it, the scream that drew everyone's attention the moment they entered forcing them to look upwards towards an attractive blue skinned woman was plummeting with the force of a falling comet.
Orn , Recognising the woman, wasn't given more than half a second of fear to react, As his scream echoed alongside her own .
" SCHAAAA"
" aaaaaaaaAAAAHHHHH " The falling girls scream changed about ten metres from the ground, something guttural and real ripped from her mouth before she collided with the ground infront of orn free ta, splattering he and his women and eterage in the blood and viscera of his own sister.
...
" You know ... I think that did cheer me up " Nox stared down at the scattered body parts splattering the man who offended him, his lip raising in self satisfaction " Thank you ... let's go explore this cities amenities now, shall we "
They were long gone by the time any guard even approached the rooftop, having dissapeared into the city without so much as a whisper they had even been there .
...
