some time later
Nyxresca:
}i{"So... Tiark co here gave you these ships?.."}i{
The Lupidira nodded in response to her question, and she sighs.
}i{"Can... you talk?"}i{
They nod again in response.
Then why are you not speaking!, was all Nyx could think following this.
She had been introduced to them when a small floatilla of Tiark co ships, along with a strange kite shaped ship had approached them wishing to communicate.
Very few people know of the fleet's location, and as such she was convinced they would not attempt anything odd...
Although, now hours into the silent one sided meeting, she regrets this decision greatly.
she couldn't help but feel like this person was watching her every move, memorising it in detail.
"Empress! A Tiark ship has docked with a diplomat and wishes to speak to you urgently."
usually, she would say no, tell them to come to me, but for once, it was an exuse to get away from this... interrogation of a meeting.
Saying her goodbyes to the creature, she walked hastily towards the hangar bay of her ship with her two guards.
looking out the window she could see the huge collective ship in the distance, far larger than their ships.
Lyov:
He sat in the crew quarters, a fancy looking robe surrounding him, shielding his apperance.
Would she truly fall for this? he worried, although then again, he had masked his voice upon landing...
Click!
Well... that would be the boarding ramp door opening...
maybe it has worked... This was... easy... especially with that crystal!
Nyxresca & Lyov:
The door closed behind the three, although she noted how empty the ship was of crew or droids, she continued walking with her guards towards the crew quarters, supposedly this diplomat was there.
The door was open, within the dimly lit room sat a lone man in robes, covering him entirely.
}i{"Hello? You wished to speak to me about an urgent matter?"}i{
The three entered the room, and one of the guards closed the door behind them before they both stood either side of it, spears pointed to the cieling.
"Ah yes... There is something very important you have... that someone i know wants..."
}i{"What? Who are yo-"}i{
Lyov lowered his robe's hood to reveal his face.
"Remember me?"
Nyx looked on in horror, frozen to the spot by fear.
Her two guards, although not recognizing the man, moved fowards to protect Nyx should
"Oh come on... that is not how you greet an old friend like me!"
He quickly jumped up out of his seat and slid with unnatural grace across towards a table.
On said table sat some engineering equipment, notably a power drill.
Brandishing the drill as a weapon, all too aware he could just make himself into any weapon, he intimidatingly presses its trigger.
"HAHA! YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER CROSSED ME! LOOK AT ME NOW! IM LIKE A F%$&£$ IMMORTAL GOD!"
one of the two guards lances fowards with his spear pointed at Lyov, although Lyov unnaturally dodges this assault without even thinking.
taking a small remote control device from his pocket, Lyov remotely commands the ship to undock, hurtling through space away from the RDM fleet.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Id kill you myself you know... but i thought i would do something more fitting..."
The thunderclap of an Eho-drive entering, and then exiting FTL marks the ship's entrance to the orbit of a small oceanic planet.
Nyx, frozen by fear and memories of the past, is unable to do anything but watch as Lyov kills her best guards.
One surrenders, but is quickly silenced by Lyov's hatred.
}i{"W-why A-are y-yo-you do-doing t-this?"}i{
"Hahahaha... HAHAHA! WHY WOULD I NOT DO THIS! YOU KILLED ME? REMEMBER? NOW I WILL DO THE SAME TO YOU!"
Lyov grabs Nyxresca by the neck, dragging her to the escape pods, making sure to make the journey as painful as possible.
??? & ∞? :
Pure hatred my Kin... that is all i feel coming from that dammned ship...
Should we interviene?
No...No...Yes...No...
Alright I will not... I will follow however and see what this person does...
They are... intresting.
Yes...Yes...Yes...No...
that is certainly correct...that is certainly correct...
We could hunt them down to the ends of the universe...
No...No...Not yet...No...
Lyov & Nyxresca:
Nyxresca sat uncomfortably tied up within the escape pod, Lyov stood outside the door laughing manically.
"Hahahaha... Oh... there is one thing that i need from you... someone wanted it from you."
Lyov rips the feather from around her neck, breaking only the string it is tied to.
"So... have fun 'drowning', pathetic Aquatic."
slamming his free hand's fist into the jettison escape pod button, strangely placed on both sides of the pod, the door closes violently as air hisses around it.
Fwoosh!
The pod launches quickly off to the planet below, within a few minutes splashing down violently in the water.
It will take days for her to "drown" of lack of water, ironically so close to what she needs to survive.
Nyxresca, the once grand empress is forced to watch the thing she requires to breath oh so close to her.
Yet it is so far from her too, tied up, there is no escape for her in sight...
Lyov checks her name off of the list...
Although until she dies, he decides he will remain in orbit awaiting the crystal to stop showing her location. Just in case... Lance can wait... he thinks as he stands watching from the bridge.
