The Empire Meets Equestria: Star Wars Esque

An unknown location in the Universe

A cloaked man sat hunched over in a great throne that was way too big for him. his feet dangled over the edge not even touching the floor that was a mass expanse of universe beneath him. The Dark God Chaos let out a disgruntled grunt as he looked over his uncle's Universe keeping one eye closed as the other darted about peering intently over the infinite expanse laid out at his feet. One of his demons had gone missing and he wanted him back.

"You ask, Uncle Elohim where, is my demon?" Chaos demanded of the Archangel Halifell.

Halifell just stood humbly wings retracted with his hand resting loosely on the pommel of his sword. Bright glowing golden eyes peered into fiery red ones undaunted. Halifell didn't like dealing with Skath's brat but now that peace has been restored between the God's of Light and Darkness several Seraphim and Archangels had to become intermediaries between the two. Halifell was unfortunate enough to become the spokes angel for Elohim and Chaos.

Halifell knew what the Silvarian meant to both God's. Elohim adopted him after his father's great sacrifice and Chaos was freed from his eternal imprisonment by the Demon when Skath put down his disobedient son's pathetic rebellion. Helifell was quit literally between a Rock and a Hard place.

"I know you want him back. Elohim is doing everything in his power to find our missing Silvarian." Halifell spoke softly not wanting to upset Chaos further.

"My Uncle gave me the Silvarian to look after! He was in Elohims Universe when he disappeared from my sight so why does my Uncle want to hide him from me now?" Chaos asked his Uncle's messenger, both cool, calm and professional.

"I assure you, Chaos that neither we, Elohim or any of the other God's had anything to do with Arrom's disappearance. I would also like to have him back." Halifell still remembered the Silvarian's sprite before he was born to parent's on Earth one of Elohim's planet's that was still in their trail phase.

Chaos took this in and relaxed in his over sized throne, slumping so that his feet were now touching the floor that was so much like an expansion of the Universe. Chaos knew that he wasn't being lied to, that much was clear and if Elohim was also searching then which God was it that took Arrom and for what reason, that no being at this point knew.

"I thank you for your time Halifell, tell my Uncle I thank him for letting me peer into his Universe for me." Chaos told the armor clad Archangel dismissing him with a slight gesture.

"Your not the only being that misses him, Chaos. There are many of us that love him just as much as you do." Halifell was then at a loss for words. The last Silvarian missing, a great race of goodly Demons extinguished. This was a tragic loss and great failure for all sides.

Chaos read Halifall's thought's as he opened a portal back to his heaven and the Grand God Elohim. "Tell my Uncle I love him, and thank you Halifall." Chaos told the departing Archangel as Halifell turned and gave Chaos a slight nod as he walked through the portal that snapped shut leaving Chaos to his thoughts.

"Whoever took my Demon will pay dearly for their trespass!" Choas declared as he looked over at Hell's Gate his broad sword that was also a Soul Slayer. Hell's Gate heard and felt his master's intent as a red and black aura issued from the mouth of the Crimson and black sheath.

"Oh, what's the matter love? Archangel get to you?" Zaratha cooed. The Mezerino demoness entered the great hall of the dark palace. Her bat like wings were folded up and draped over her like a great cape, her tail was swaying playfully from side to side as she made her way to her husband's side.

"No Zaratha, if you must know I think my Uncle is just as concerned, perhaps even more so, about Arrom's disappearance than I am." Chaos told his wife with a heavy sigh.

"Awe, poor Dark God, lost his favorite toy?" Zaratha said to her husband coyly as she brushed her long black and red tresses out of her face to bend down and kiss her beloved.

Zaratha put her clawed hands down from her husband's face after their kiss and took a seat next to her glum husband, who was more than willing to make room for his very seductive and playful demoness. Chaos leaned into her as she wrapped him in her right wing and put her arm around the more diminutive man whom she loved, trying to support him.

Choas started leaning out, and once again closed one of his glowing red eyes and peered out into the vastness of the Universe looking for his wayward Silvarian.

"I wonder if his wife knows yet?" Chaos said aloud perking his wife's interest.

"Which one? With all of your meddling he has a several. Wasn't it you who put the Endangered Species idea into the mind of the Marcisian Emperor?" Zathara asked in that coy yet accusing way of hers.

"Yes, and it was more hilarious than even I could have imagined!" Chaos said as he started chuckling at all of the close calls and strange adventures that he had either directly or indirectly sent Arrom on.  After that short derailment he came back to his point. "I meant if Riza knows or even, Vira." Chaos said with a slight grin.

"What are you scheming now my husband?" His demoness asked rather quizzically.

"Those two are demons and they can break through dimensional barriers just like God's can, yes?" Chaos now had a plan cooking and had a very bright yet evil smile on his face.

"Well, yes. We can, why?" Zathara wondering where her husband's new scheme was going.

"What if our missing Silvarian was lost in a different dimension and what if we sent your cousin Riza and the wonderful Veserino Vira after him. Plainly speaking I wouldn't be stepping on any of the other God's toes. Yet...."

"Yet they could, because they are married and that takes precedent over inter-dimensional travel between Universes. My husband you are wickedly evil and fun. I'm so glad I married you!" Zaratha exclaimed giving her husband another kiss for good measure.

After receiving his mouth back. "So who do we send to Earth to give that drinking fool of a cousin of yours the news?" Chaos asked the now more than eager to help Zaratha.

"I have the perfect being for the job. Oh, and if you haven't noticed yet the Empire is also on the move."  Zathara told her husband the news again in that coy and conniving way.

"Excellent! This is going to be really fun to watch unfold!" Chaos cheered as he started to put his plans into motion.

"I still feel sorry for Arrom, the poor crath won't know what hit him." Zathara chided.

"Who cares, at least him and that family of his never gets old to watch, and this my dear will be something to witness.....Just as soon as Riza, Vira or the Empire finds him." Chaos couldn't have been any happier, creating problems for others was his forte and out of all of the beings in the multi-verse there was one that was very special to him. That Silvarian was always fun to tease and this was going to top it all. Chaos just knew it.

Equestis Canterlot

Arrom was out walking among the gardens of Canterlot Castle. Putting back on his Imperial cloak that had the symbol of a pinwheel of a Galaxy emblazed on the back that fluttered about as it hung loosely off his frame in the night breeze. Looking up into the mess of stars he tried desperately to make out any familiar constellations but to his disappointment there weren't any.

Arrom wasn't tired in the least. He was growing tired and weary of this planet and the oddity of the Galaxy that was in full display above him. Once again he tried to reach out past that invisible barrier that lay just outside the atmosphere of Equestis. He struggled, pushed, trying to break free with his consciousness but again giving up after several Dironns passed.

With a great sigh he fell onto his back looking up at the sparkling diamonds that seemed so close but yet so far. His hand once again reaching for the chain that held his treasured ring, the gems had completely gone cold as he watched it slowly spin one way to the other as it hung from the end of it's chain. The silver circle the gems were fixed to even seemed duller somehow or perhaps it's just the trick of the light. Even with the stars and a crescent moon it still was rather bright out, then again there was some light pollution coming from Canterolt proper but it still didn't make the disguised Silvarian feel any better.

"I miss you, Mom I wonder if your still working as uncle's secretary? Dad are you still playing with those toy ships of yours?" Arrom mussed as he thought of his parent's jobs. His mom worked as a secretary for non other than his uncle at a large Corporation in Korea. His dad was a Captain of a Navel Destroyer of the United State's Third Pacific fleet. He knew they loved each other and he also knew they loved both him and his two older sisters, but they hardly ever saw each other. Kind of like the situation he was in now. Even they were a phone call or Skype message away, he was in another Galaxy with no ability to communicate with anyone from home.

"Sara, Anna I hope your keeping that wife of mine out of trouble." Arrom said as he thought of his two older yet younger sisters.

Time in the Galaxy moved faster than that on Earth, even though he was just Eighteen back home he was nearly forty by Marcisian reckoning. Arrom smiled as he could plainly see his two sisters with their black shoulder length hair bobbing as they skipped along, leading a much older looking and very tanned woman with long dark red hair and burning red eyes. Riza disguised herself as a human and most people just thought that the large circular pattern on her back was just some fancy tattoo and not a seal to contain all of her demonic energy. Riza for some reason liked to do the bar scene. She always seemed to be carrying a bottle with  some sort alcohol in it, though with her genetics she would never be able to get drunk. His mom loved to take them to parties even though the immediate family didn't drink for religious reasons they would still cheer Riza on as she out drank everyone, even several of his Dad's sailor friends who were all impressed with her great tolerance to the strong beverages they chugged. Arrom could just look on and pout as he watched his wife, to him make a fool of herself, to everyone else in his Uncle's company she had somehow become a legend and a hero.

"Riza I think you are crazier than even this planet's Pinkie Pie." Arrom announced with disgust at his wife's antics.

Then Arrom remembered his own seal as he put his hand up and softly touched the top of his back. Riza was the one who put it on him teaching him how to disguise his demon features and power in order to hide in plain sight as a humble human.

"At least she still has a good heart, though how my family treats her just like any normal person is still amazing and puzzling." Arrom put his hand behind his hood less head resting on it. As his mind wondered back still to when he first met Riza and Vira and even Lord Nos and the rest of the Zaharaj.

"And thus Visage was born, thanks to Riza and the Counsel of the Zaharaj." Arrom said as he brought his hand back up to study his gloved fingers.

"I wonder just how many times have I regrown you now?" He asked his hand as he wiggled his glove encased fingers.

Still lost in thoughts he noticed that there was a presence no, several presences in the area. One was however rather close and was very much trying to hide their essence.

"I can sense your presence ya know. Why, might I ask are you trying to spy on me?" Arrom said as he thought about sitting up to confront whomever was there, but he just brought his left leg up and hung his right over it making a triangular pattern as he waited for whomever it was to show themselves.

"We are sorry for eavesdropping on thee Lord Visage." A dark blue mist came out of the foliage of a tree to his rear and slight left. The mist then materialized as it reached closer to the ground and took the form of Princess Luna.

"Again, Princess  could you please drop the honorifics. Arrom is fine or Visage, right now I'm no Lord. I'm just a guest here till I find a way back home that is." Arrom told the Lunar Diarch.

"That we cannot do as I have said before Lord Visage." Luna countered flatly.

"Fine, whatever, so what is it Princess did you need something? Or are you just here to eavesdrop?" Arrom asked seemingly without a care in the world.

The princess looked rather ashamed for a moment but recovered quickly.

"No, I just happened upon thee but we weren't sure if we should interrupt your reprieve." Luna said to the laying and surprisingly unguarded Visage that was now bobbing his right leg up and down similar to a see-saw over his left one.

Arrom just smiled as he looked at Luna then up into the night sky.

"I assume that this is your handiwork...or hoof-work? I'm sorry, but your terminology is rather difficult to grasp." Arrom then realized that he just made a fool of himself with his comment.

Luna stood motionless for a Dironn before she looked up at her night sky realizing what Visage was trying to say.

"Oh, yes, we thank thee for thine compliment." Luna said with a small smile.

"If it pleases thee Lord, wouldest thou allow us to sit and talk awhile with thee, most other ponies are sleeping and the night's have become, rather dull." Luna asked but laid down anyway without receiving an answer.

Arrom didn't say anything as he just watched the Princess of the night lay down on the soft garden grass the moonlight though faint reflected off her dark blue hide making it shimmer in a peculiar yet dazzling way. Her mane waved a bit more in the night breeze and her eyes twinkled with curiosity and wonder.

"It's a free planet is it not? You and your sister are quite magical." Arrom said to his new listener.

"Well of course it's a free planet, or at least Equestria is. There are still some untamed wilds on Equestis even our influence doesn't reach much past our boarders." Luna was rather ashamed knowing that Visage was a part of a Galactic Empire and though a it seemed a bit daunting she herself was a tad jealous of the fact.

Arrom gave a knowing smile. "My planet is the same a this one then. On Earth there are many different Countries and Many different ideas on how being's should be governed. Wars pop up all over the globe and my father goes out to try and put out the flames of war before they spread. That is why Earth, as it stands, will never be able to be apart of the Empire. Unless everyone comes to a consensus and there is only a single governing body then the Empire might let them in, but till then, not going to happen."

Luna took this new information in. "So that is why thine planet isn't apart of the Empire, but then what about thee?"

"It's because I'm a Silvarian, that is the only reason why I'm a part of the Empire and though I would love the Constitution of my father's country become law of the Earth I know that it will never happen. At least not till Elohim's son returns, but only he knows when that will be." Arrom said dryly.

"Who is this Elohim that thou speakest of?" Luna asked eagerly.

Arrom once again had put his foot in his mouth. "Ugh....I didn't mean to tell you, but oh well it's not like it's a secret." Arrom looked at Luna who was waiting for the answer a bit too eagerly in his opinion, but well on more thing to add wasn't too big of a deal he hoped.

"Elohim is the name of the God of our Universe. He has a son who literally died to save not just mankind as they say in the scriptures on Earth but All Kind every being has been touched by his sacrifice in a powerful way and some beings simply ignore that fact." Arrom told his audience as he knew that several of the guards were now eavesdropping.

Luna didn't know what to say. A God gave their life to save every pony no every being. Then she realized that their own God did the same. Giving up their own life to save all beings from Skath.

"Arrom he is like our God then? Does he no longer exist?" Luna asked with a heavy heart thinking of her own God's great sacrifice. Tears starting to well up in her eyes.

"Oh, no he's fine, he had a few scars left over. I don't know why, he could easily heal them but I guess he keeps them as a reminder to himself as well as those who believe in him. Personally I think he's a bigger idiot than my dad." Arrom said indignantly as he folded his arms over his chest.

"Wait isn't thine father from Earth, why wouldest thou say something like that, we wouldest like to know." Luna now more demanding than before asked the now still Dark Lord.

"Sorry Princess, there are things that even I can't divulge even what I've told you is kind of a secret, at least among the Earthlings, but most of them are too lazy to care or refuse to acknowledge the truth that's right in front of them. At least my family get's it." Arrom nodded knowingly at his own parent's choices.

Luna didn't like the answer but she didn't want to press the issue. Deciding to change the subject she focused on his family. We don't think he would mind talking about that. Luna thought.

"So what about your family then? You said you had nine wives? How did you meet them all?" Luna said  again intrigued with and that twinkle was back in those eyes of hers.

"Now that is a rather long story, firstly though, it was Emperor Marcissia that created the Endangered Species ACT but there are rules to it. The three of the biggest ones are.

First: I must have saved a females life or the female has a family marital tradition that I have met.

Second: The female must be a virgin, otherwise unmarried and not currently in a  relationship.

Third: The female must be from a sentient species that has a genetic compatibility of at least forty five percent.

The rest are just filler and drivel that the Emperor and his counselors came up with. But I did find a few in my travels that fit the criteria. The only real exceptions were Riza and Vira who I guess were promised to marry me by Riza's dad, the Great King of the Mezerino Demons. Who I still think is a Fraking Moron!"

Luna was now in shock there were rules laid out by the Emperor and from the sound of it rather good ones too. She still wasn't sure about the one involving genetics but the others seemed very reasonable.

"We can tell your Emperor is wise if he put those laws into place. At least thou doesn't go around marrying every pony you meet. Even that Mezerino king. I think, I know why he married thou to several of his own. We think it's so that none of the ones that sided with Skath couldn't touch you, being that you are family to one of them. We think that was also a sensible decision." Luna nodding her head at her own logic.

"I cannot disagree with you Princess Luna, still I feel that Riza loves drinking more than me. Then again, I never could guess what goes through that woman's mind most of the time." Arrom finished getting up he walked over to the tree that Luna was hiding in leaning into it as he then slid down the trunk and crossed his feet as he again looked up into the star filled sky.

Luna got up and fallowed after the Dark Lord standing off to his left she sunk back down still intent on continuing their conversation. She found him and his home fascinating and fantastical. She was hoping to hear more and fortunately he didn't disappoint.

"Luna, did you know that I trained several apprentices all the way to knight hood?" Arrom looked over at his listener who was still making herself comfortable once again she stretched her wings a bit before she answered.

"No, we have not heard of this. Who are these apprentices, whom you speak of?" Luna asked as her ears twitched a bit.

Arrom smiled wide as Luna took the bait. You have no idea what you are in for now princess. "You see I started off with a Dormirian child named Arorra but she was more attuned to the light side more so than the dark. She was taken to the Order's planet Firax for training. I then was given two apprentices they were Zabrack brothers named Kaz and Zak and let me tell you they were very difficult to train.

They were both practical jokers pulling off random schemes and plots. One time we were assigned to the Imperial Capital Ship aptly named The Constitution while on board they put a rather interesting additive into the ships water supply facility that turned most of the crew blue." Arrom watched Luna with glee as a smile appeared on her face.

"They turned the crew blue? That sounds like something Discord would do." Luna actually started laughing at the thought.

"Even to this day the name stuck The Constitution and it's Blue crew. I must admit it was quite funny even the very serious Marcisian Admiral thought it rather humerus. I swear Kaz and Zak did all kinds of crazy things but the thing that was craziest was the time I took them to Earth with me." Arrom stopped to look at his audience he also noticed that the guards that had been listening in were creeping closer and had been joined by several others.

"If thine planet is not a part of the Empire then they surly must have gotten into all kinds of mischief." Luna said waiting for the end of this tale about Lord Visage's two apprentices.

"So this is were things get......interested you see on my planet there is an Entertainment series called Star Wars created by a man named George Lucas, surprisingly he actually got more than a few things accurate, at least on the beings in the films compared to our own Galaxy. We still don't know why....but the main thing is that he had just released his new movie. When we went to visit my home my sisters insisted that we go to the premier in Soul with them. The great thing was we didn't have to hide, everyone just assumed that were were character's from the show. Mom said something about cosplay I think....anyway we blended in just fine..... Things were going good, that is until they revealed the Villain who went by the name of Darth Maul and the terror twins just loved him, up until his death that is." Arrom again stopped as he noticed the jaw on Luna's face nearly hit the ground.

"They didn't! Did they." Luna guessed as to what the two kids did next.

"Oh, yes they did they actually got their skin permanently dyed and even shaved their heads except Kaz who kept his pony tail, but they became the spitting images of Darth Maul and henceforth called themselves the brother's Maul. They even went so far to try and dress like him and they even fashioned their blood sabers after his light saber. Their mother was not too pleased when she found out. And of course I got the blame." Arrom couldn't help but laugh at the brother's small as most of the Shadow Knights called them. They were something else, that's for sure.

Luna had regained her composure still she would like to meet these two brother's that caused Visage all of these problems. They might even be a match for Pinkie Pie. Luna thought as she hoped that the three would never meet. If they did who knows what they might do.

"Don't worry Luna, Zak is married and became a bounty hunter and Kaz left the Shadow Knights and joined the White Handers he's a Grand Master sitting on their Counsel. He's mostly mellowed but he still loves to drive the other Grand Master's crazy with his pranks on occasion." Arrom stopped and again his hand clutched his ring as he remembered his wife Arorra who was also sitting on the Grand Counsel. Out of all of his wives she and Fraya were the only ones who were by his side the most. Several tears had started to form as he hoped to be reunited with them soon.

Luna noticed that Lord Visage had once again went quiet as he held his ring in his hand and was weeping quietly. She then started feeling sad as she watched the smile flee from his face. She slowly got up and walked over to the man who shared much with her. Bringing her head down she leaned in and softly touched his lips with hers. Realizing what she had just done she quickly backed away as two glowing gold and purple orbs went wide in surprise.

"We are sorry.....please forgive us....we just felt that we might cheer you up." Luna rambled cursing herself for what she just did.

"Sorry for what, was there something you wanted me to know? I'm sorry but if there was some secret you wanted to tell me, I was a bit startled and wasn't able to catch it." Arrom said wondering why Luna backed away before telling him whatever it was she wanted him to know.

Now Luna was confused. "We don't understand what thou art talking about?" She said honestly.

Arrom shrugged. "It's not that big of a deal. In the Empire there are a lot of very powerful Verse users and if you have a secret that you wouldn't like shared the best way to tell it is through physical contact with the recipient. What you would call a kiss. I'm sorry but I wasn't paying attention to whatever it was you were trying to relay to me."

Luna gleaned some rather useful information. "So what thou art telling us is that thou shareest information and secrets by sharing a kiss?"

Arrom nodded. "Yes, but I was distracted so I missed whatever it was you were trying to tell me."

Luna realized that this was a big misunderstanding. Visage thought that she was trying to tell him something when actually that wasn't the case at all. She then decided that in order to smooth out this situation she would play along.

"Well, yes we were going to tell thee something but we realized that we had caught you off guard. It was of little importance so please pay it  no heed." Luna hoped to get out of this situation with some dignity intact.

Arrom looked at Luna with a puzzled expression. "If it wasn't important then I guess that's fine." He then pulled his hood over his head and folded his arms. "If there is something more you need Princess just let me know."

Luna blushed a deep shade of red just as she turned around, spreading her wings to take off. She turned her head slightly. "No Lord Visage we will not bother thee the rest of this night, perhaps another?" She saw Lord Visage nod his head and not wanting to let him know what she had done, and took off.

I think that went well, I just hope that my sister or....Twilight don't find out that Lord Visage can send information through a kiss. Luna thought about the disastrous consequences if either of them did find out.

"That was a rather abrupt ending but I guess even a Lunar Princess has things to attend to. So any more of you eavesdroppers out there want to come out of hiding so I would have someone else to talk to?" Arrom announced to the guards that had gathered.

All of the guards took off as the man addressed them, quickly getting back to their assigned posts. Several of them both saw and heard the whole exchange and they were going to report back to Celestia in the morning with the newly discovered information.

Arrom sat under the tree lost in thought for the remainder of the night. Looking up into the star filled sky that now was turning a brilliant orange on the fringe of the horizon as the sun was starting to rise.  He sat still watching the slow glow spread as his thoughts went again to his wife Arorra and the tragic and joyous day they met.

Firaxian Galaxy Planet Firax home world of The Order of The White Hand

one Derron after Visage's disappearance

The vines that were wrapped and twisted around the young girls ankles that hurt as they rubbed against her off white skin. Her glassy eyes darting every which way as creatures came to inspect this given morsel. She was crying, in pain and terror. Why did they do this to me? What did I do that was so wrong? She thought as tears ran down her dirt covered face.

Dormir was an inhospitable planet but the beings who lived there for Onns eked out a home on the giant swamp planet. The hull of the downed Marcisain Explorer ship became the only safe haven on this eat or be eaten world.

Arorra was a child like most Dormirians having both Terran and Marcisian heritage her skin was white with a tint of blue, her hair was a crystalline white and her eyes were just like the Marcisians pupil-less and glassy. At this time they were full of terror. Her parents gave her to the elders of their village for a sacrifice to the monsters of the swamp lands. Being deemed a witch for powers she had, but didn't know how to control. She could lift things without touching them, she could strike out with lightning, shocking those that it touched. Because of these powers she was tied up and rendered helpless. As large scaled backs started to breach the surface of the murky water close to the atoll she was on or more appropriately tied to.

Arorra was so terrified she could no longer scream she just simply whimpered mouth quivering as the scaled backs of the smaller beasts disappeared just as quickly as they had come. Arorra thought she was safe as she resumed struggling to get the vines tied around her hands and feet off of her, but her struggling only made the taught vines dig into her soft skin making it rip and bleed, ignoring the pain she continued to struggle but she stopped as she heard a low growl.

Large plated scales breached the surface bigger than any of the others that just fled the great behemoth that was rising. Two great red eyes came up out of the water mud and swampy grasses splashing as they fell off the creatures large alligator looking head several rows of yellow and green teeth making a vile grin as it saw the helpless tied up Dormirian child that was looking back up in tears and terror.

Arorra wet herself, not that it mattered much, being already caked in the muck and wet of the swamp. Letting out an inaudible scream as one of the four great clawed hands with fingers that were long and webbed, the curved claws at the end of each finger stretched out and were about to close on his snack like a cage. The hand was suddenly yanked back as a cloaked figure launched a glowing stick at it. He then pulled out the stick returning it to his hand but leaving a burning hole where it had pierced the Drragg.

Visage had a bit of a reprieve as the Drragg clenched it's wounded hand with one of it's other three. The monster made a half growl half roar in anger and pain that had just been afflicted to it. Not wasting any time he cut the child free of her imprisonment using his blood saber. After the child was freed he looked her over making sure she wasn't too damaged, not taking long he turned around focusing on the giant he was about to face.

"I see you like to eat sentient beings, beast. Mere children at that. You now face an apprentice of the Zah. So, prepare yourself monster." Visage said as he adjusted the hilt of his blood saber in a reverse grip.

The Drragg swiped at the small black thing that held the glowing stick but it jumped onto his hand that was still in motion and with the glowing stick stabbed it several times making more burning wounds open. still clinging to the hand he was on Visage saw the other hand coming down the Drragg was trying to swat him, crushing him like a fly.

Visage didn't even wait for the impact he jumped from the hand he was on blood saber now gripped with both hands he slammed the blade hard against the creatures wrist, nearly severing it's hand. Several tendons and strings of flesh prevented the now crippled limb from falling free.

The Drragg growled and howled in pain clutching the wrist of it's crippled hand with one of its still good ones. The Dragg still reared up from it's cry in agony was once more in pain but this time it was it's whole body that was racked.

Visage not letting the monster any time to recuperate charged his hands with lightning and unleashed a storm of angry bolts of blue and purple at it. He could literally hear the popping and cracking of armored flesh as steam and smoke started to billow from the enraged and crippled creature.  Visage then flew up on top of the monster's head charging his blood saber with lightning the sparking purple blade  came down with force, so much so, that the whole blade was imbedded deep into the monster's skull then channeling more lightning he started to fry the creature from the inside.

The Drragg knew that it was dying powerful energies were boiling it's brain as lightning surged throughout it's body, blood and bile were starting to boil and pop. Despite that it would kill it's killer. Using one of it's good hands it grabbed the dark figure on top of it's head ripping the accursed glowing stick and trailing lighting out and away.

Visage was hurled up into the dense fog of the planet. He was spinning end over end as he suddenly stopped, then started to plummet, he could see a great maw open wide, waiting to receive him. While in free fall he pulled out his second blood saber and snapping it end to end with the one that was already lit he put his body into a vertical dive, blade leading into the dark wet esophagus of the monster. Spreading his legs he was now in a tight wet mess facing down into the depths of a beast that was trying to make a meal of him. He snapped off the the purple glowing blade, then holding the hilt that was now twice as long, he held it in a horizontal position and snapped both blades on, they vanished into the soft tissues of the creatures neck. Gripping the hilt with both hands Visage kick his legs putting him into a one eighty spin, flesh and soft tissue were burned away by the blades and slowly he saw the outside world. The foggy swamp greeted the dark warrior like an old friend. Jumping through the hole he made, he flew up landing on the dry patch that a now dumbfounded looking child was still sitting on. Both her and Visage watched as the Drragg's severed head fell off from the giant body and into the swamp below it took a few Dironn's for the head and body to disappear into the slimy muck leaving a small bubbling geyser where it had sunk.

Visage turned his masked face to the small girl and asked."So, kid what else do you do around here for fun?"

Arorra awoke in a cold sweat she hadn't had that dream in a long time. She looked around the room with her glassy white eye's there were tears still running from them, so she wiped them away. She then looked for her husband but remembered that she was on Firax the planet that housed the Order of the White Hand.

Putting both hands on her face to clear the bad memories she breathed deeply into them before putting one to her neck grabbing the small chain that was hanging from it. The silver chain had a silver ring attached to it. Looking at it she clutched it in her hand. Slowly releasing her fingers from her precious ring that her husband made her for their wedding. She grasped the purple blood gem that was it's center piece it was dark and cold and it wasn't glowing with the normal lively purple that it always did.

Once again reflecting on her dream she knew that something bad had happened to Visage. She got dressed quickly not even messing with her hair, using the force she grabbed her blood saber attaching it to the side of her belt as she opened the door and ran to see the other Grand Masters, she knew something was wrong and she wanted answers.

"Arorra I'm surprised to see you up so early." Grand Master Athren greeted her with a smile.

"I've had a vision about the past when Visage saved me from the Drragg. I awoke to find that the blood gem he gave me is no longer glowing and I can't feel him through the Force anymore!" Arorra exclaimed to her colleague.

Athren rubbed the back of his head getting his fingers tangled up in his black hair, he looked at the Dormirain woman pained as to what he should do. He finally decided to tell her, he didn't want her going around and reading every White Hander's mind.

"We were contacted by the Imperial Capitol this morning...Now Arorra I don't want you to panic but Visage's ship ran into some.....problems. He is now missing." Athren stated as cool as he could.

Arorra's reaction was pure panic her eye's went wide then tears started to form. She lost her balance so Athren reached out to grab the falling woman. Her hand going back to the chain. She was clutching her ring for comfort.

"Do they know what happened to him?" She spoke through sobs.

"The Empire found the crew of the Last Chance and were debriefed about a Minronn ago. Apparently they tried to jump through Entaru's Nightmare and they probably would have made it if it weren't for that Super Nova they ran into." Athren told his distraught friend in the calmest tone he could muster.

Arorra would have turned white if she wasn't already. "They tried to jump that death trap? But what about my husband? How is he missing if the crew has been found?" Arorra was more pleading than asking.

Athren just shook his head. Just then they were interrupted by Grand Master's Mirth and Kaz. they walk in on a distressed looking Athren trying to comfort and even more distressed looking Arorra.

Kaz one of Visage's former students and a Maul brother felt the tension in the air. "So you told her about Master's disappearance." He said not trying to hide his own worry.

Mirth gave all in the room a stern look. "Arorra you are hereby suspended from your duties." Mirth a blue skinned Twillan stated with authority. Everyone looked at him Arorra was frowning, Kaz looked sympathetic for someone who looked like a Darth Maul clone, if it wasn't for the ponytail of black hair dangling from the back of his horned covered head.

Mirth coughed and finished what he started. "Arorra you are to head to the Imperial Capitol immediately and take part in the search for our missing Dark Lord. Oh, and I suggest you hurry up and get ready Azalla will be here in less than a Minronn."

Kaz the black and Red Zabrak that took Lucas's Star War from Visage's home planet a bit to seriously, chimed in. "And I'll be joining you!" He announced to all present while putting a fist on his chest.

Arorra wiped her tears away got up with a little help from Athren and quite literally bolted out the door down the hallway,  back to her room to get the rest of her things.

"Arorra were meeting at platform twenty eight! Be there or Azalla and I will leave without you!" Kaz yelled out after the running Dormirian.

"Do you think she heard me?" He asked the rest of the beings in the room. both Grandmasters just put their hands on their faces and groaned.
