 *** Dragon'taan orbit***
 A Klingon Vo'quv carrier  escorted by two  Ferasan Sithlis cragt dropped out of warp in orbit, the Carrier hailing ground control calling itself the Ly'ions Den.

*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
"People change, have you not heard of the Romulan republic?" Kari asked "I'm sure people would understand, then again you don't exactly look Romulan, you may have been recruited against your will." kari pointed out.

"Well would you like to see the begining of the festival?" Kari asked

"Then we should probably be going" Kelli noted


*** Tigress' Armory, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
"I built it using a bit of Synthetic Beskar, for now it's a prototype for a new design i'm working on." Tigress replied "Though i thought I was more interesting than the tank..." Tigress replied... "The NCC needs a new medium tank for when battlemechs are too heavy or too much for the job, besides these can compliment the battlemechs and other vehicles, and If Kyle or anyone else is interested it's a good tank design with  the upgrades I have in mind, it's not gonna be as bad as the original, Besides I'm always looking for new ways to sell new products, I always offer a lower priced less advanced version of my designs to the open market..."



*** Ruusan ***
"How's that?" Tonya asked "We've alwasy been on the more 'grey' side."

[Zack McCloud]

*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"I can say that I have not, but I hear they're haunted as the void itself", Vince replied as he held his drink with Katt for a moment hoping Falco would join in, but as he looked apon his sulken face he realized why he asked. Vince took a moment to process this as he timidly took his drink. "I take it you have a more personal experience with one," Vince stated as he placed the shot glass upsidedown in the table.

*** Indari Manor, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"I'll catch up with you, there's something I need to do," Zack responded before drinking the bubble of Romanian Ale and heading towards the Holo deck unknown to Krystal with a look of determination I his eye as he sent a message through the private nerual link him and Ema shared as the light refracted around him to change enough features to make him look much older than he was, his fur a little more grey as he placed an patch over his left eye and from his neck metal spiked pauldrons formed from nanobots as he gave a Markus a chilling 'stay out of this' look as he walked past him after his mother into the Holo deck.

[Weaver]

*** Reach ***

"Cool, thanks," Weaver said to the droid. He paid his fare and entered through the door to board the transport to Dragon'taan, whilst making sure not to leave Ray behind.

[Rayleonarde]

*Reach*
Ray looked hesitant to approach the droid, but did so slowly. He counted out ten of the tokens and handed them to the robot, snatching his paw back quickly before turning to Weaver. Ray looked a bit distressed, as the realization hit him. “A real Wizard of Oz situation,” he muttered.


*Dromund Kaas*
The Mongdrigans swept through the camp in pairs, checking everywhere they thought a n intruder might hide. A cacophony of chest-rattling rumbles filled the air as the mech started, the pilot trudging towards Malgus. The pilot swept the surveillance package around, checking the three monitors displaying full-color, infra-red, and thermal images.


Ickthis stayed close to his Lord, prepared to sacrifice himself for Malgus’s safety.


*Gamma-5*
The drone was pulverized swiftly, no shielding flared to defend it. It was blasted to space dust, the dust blasted into oblivion.
But the Commander had his prize. Already, he plotted a course and deployed a large fleet. They slingshotted around the home star, and cruised deeper into the galaxy. And as they departed their docks, another fleet was already in production.

[Romulan_Furry]

*** Reach ***

Once Weaver and Ray boarded, it would be a few more minutes before the last passengers boarded, and the transport lifted off, and would carry it's passengers to Dragon'taan, a few hours later...

*** Dromund Kaas ***

A slight rustling in the trees could be heard, and Malgus immediately went for his lightsaber.

*** Gamma-5 ***

The Sangheili Battle Fleet scanned everywhere after the drone was destroyed, unconvinced it had been alone.

*** Dragon'taan Orbit ***

The new ships arriving were directed to spaces around Dragon'taan Orbit, and given clearance to beam down to the surface as well as a welcome to the festival greeting.

*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"Damn right, I did," Falco muttered. "If it weren't for that... Lucario dude, the member of the Indari Family... I'd still be in a psyche ward. He drove the Sith Spirits out of my head."

"I work with the Romulan Republic," Travis said. "Among others. Like I said, I've been working against the Tal Shiar ever since my memory was wiped. What I want to know, is who wiped my memory and why." And after Kari's second question, he added, "Of course I would - but I also need to get High General Indari alone. Something from Darth Torrentus."

Malcolm paid for what he and Kelli had at Sol's, then accompanied her out the door.

*** Indari Manor, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

While Zack was in the chamber with his mother, Markus was visited by his Holo-Sangheili XO, Voro, who handed him a report, which he reviewed with Voro standing by.

*** Speech Area, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Kyle and Anna arrived at the speech area, and were greeted by one of Kyle's subordinates. "High General, sir!"

"As you were," Kyle said. "Is everything ready?"

"Not yet, sir; one of the press crews got delayed. They should be arriving shortly," the subordinate replied.

*** Tigress' Armory, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"I am more interested in you," Blythe responded. "I don't come across Tigers very often in my travels. Especially female tigers. How did you wind up here, if I may ask?"

*** Ruusan ***

"Handy," Alduah remarked as he approached Bahkriid. She bowed in respect.

"Master," she greeted him.

"I... sense something different about you, Bahkriid. Did something happen while I was delayed?" Alduah asked.

[Alessia Starfurr]

*** Dragon'taan Orbit ***
 The Ly'ions den launched a  B'rel bird of prey indentified as the I.K.S Warwolf, it headed planet side to land.



*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"Your uncle is the one doing the opening speech?"

"I might be able to find out who ,but why is going to be a harder thing to find. " Kari noted.

** Indari Manor, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

When Zack stepped into the holodeck, he'd find himself in what looked like Forcas III from the Star trek galaxy at a Bat'leth torunament, with crowds of Klingons and Ferasan cheering on a Ferasan woman and Krystal battling it out on the Arena floor, loud clangs of Bat'leths filling the air among the shouts...

*** Speech Area, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
 among the honor guard a couple of familair faces could be seen a white vixen named Rae and 3 she-wolves Ruby Tala and Lupe of black , white and Grey fur respectivly, the three kept s close eye on the surroundings.... though just a  formality the Honor guard was fully geared up.




*** Tigress' Armory, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"That's a first." Tigress replied "You must not get out much i've seen many tigers around the galaxy, as for how I ended up here, well long story short I helped a friend of mine whose a friend of KYle Inadari after the marauder wars, When my friend settled down here I setup shop here  and have been suppling the DMC and NCC with military hardware that I mostly design, I doubt I'm the only supplier though."


*** Ruusan ***
"She does have the aura of two people," Tonya noted. "Though it's none of my business how that is."

"Handy huh?" Tony asked.

The others there remained silent, letting the Sith pandaren speak for herself.

[Zack McCloud]

*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"I see," Vince replied before turning towards his father and placing his hand on Falco's shoulder "I'm glad you made it... Dad," He added with a faint smile, before taking another shot and placing the glass next to the other one.

*** Indari Manor, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Zack maneuvered through the crowd disguised as Wolf O'Donnell. He stood amongst them watching his mother fight anticipation filling his bones on to how the next few minutes would play out. He hope to gain some answers for questions that arose moments ago.

[Weaver]

*** Reach ---> Dragon'taan, Draco City ***

The trip was rather uneventful, which was a blessing considering what Weaver had just been through. The transport took the two to a spaceport located at the Capitol. To Ray, he might have confused this with a place such as Coruscant from the movies of his world, as the two locales bore very similar architecture.

Upon disembark, various posters and signs about the festival decorated the walls of the spaceport, as well as banners that hung from the ceiling.

"Right, uh, we may as well start looking around for where that festival is," Weaver said. "I'm sure there's like, a map, or something. Maybe a flier? Or maybe super obvious signs that I'm too blind to see." The spider had the uncanny talent of missing the obvious.

[Rayleonarde]

*Dragon’taan*
Ray had slept for the duration of the transport, let him gather his thoughts. When the transport landed, he awoke and briefly forgot where he was. But, it came back in time. He followed Weaver to the docks, guarding his eyes from the sun.
It took him a few seconds to realize Weaver was speaking to him.
“Huh? Oh. Uh.” He approached one of the posters, studying the text.
“Uhh…I’m not uh…seeing English on this…just uh…looks like that Star Wars squigglies..?” He shrugged.


*Dromund Kaas*
Ickthis whistled sharply, gaining the attention of the mech pilot, and motioned towards the treetops. The audio-detection package on the chassis was based on a parabolic microphone. Intense, but limited in range. The big metal body shifted, pointing as high as it could into the trees, listening for anything. The cameras didn’t display anything, though they were mostly washed out by the sky backlighting the image.


Ickthis himself drew his pistol, ready for contact.


The twin assassins stalked the tree line, hidden in the shadows. They’d heard the rustling, and drew their weapons. Where most Mongdrigan blades were only lightly coated in tiberium, the assassin’s blades were pure tiberium. Flimsy, but possibly the most toxic points in the galaxy.


*Gamma-5*
The fleet’s detection suites wouldn’t pick up anything else. The drone was alone, isolated.

[Romulan_Furry]

*** IKS Warwolf, approaching Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Inside the Warwolf, one particular Ferasan could be found with his arms wrapped around a female's hips, his lips locked with hers in a passionate kiss. "It's been too long," Ken'ji whispered to her, "I was worried I wouldn't get here in time. That thing with the Rogue Jedi..."

*** Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Such as it was, no such translation was required; a cheery protocol droid approached Weaver and Ray. "Greetings! Welcome to Dragon'taan!" it greeted them, "You are fortunate to arrive this soon - the Marauder Festival is soon to begin! If you hurry to the speech area, you might catch High General Indari's speech - intra-district taxi transports are all free for the duration of the festival. And before you ask - the Speech is being held in front of the Government Enclave in the Central District; better hurry, High General Indari is already there, getting ready for his speech!"

Nearby, a press crew of Romulans - clearly from the Romulan Republic - was hurrying to a taxi station. "Hurry, you guys! We don't want to keep High General Indari waiting!" the leader of the group urged his colleagues.

*** Speech Area, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Kyle was still going over the speech he had settled in on in his head, waiting for that press crew to arrive. In one corner, he wondered what was keeping the crew.

*** Tigress' Armory, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"Hnh," Blythe remarked. "You have some real pull with the High General, then. You must get a lot of guys asking you out - not many get that close to a man like Indari. Or, so I hear."

*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"So am I," Falco stated. "It was not a pleasant experience. You should really thank the... Lucario guy that drove away the spirits, whatever his name was." It was then that the door bell jingled, and a Red Lucario stepped into the restaurant. Clipped to his belt were lightsabers, and he had characteristic Yellow eyes of a Sith. But he seemed just normal - no hostile expression, no gestures or anything to suggest he was here to cause trouble. He indicated the bar, where two empty stools sat. "See - empty stools, I told you we'd find seats here, Cobalt!" he said to someone, though it was not immediately clear who he was speaking to.

"Yes, he is," Malcolm told Kelli. "We'd better hurry to the Central District if we want to catch Uncle Kyle's speech."

"Good luck figuring out why someone had my memory wiped from my lost memories," Travis scoffed. "They more than likely didn't tell me."

*** Indari Manor, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

It was as Markus was going over reports when Drake came out of the bedroom he shared with his wife, dressed in his full military attire. "Come on, kids! We don't want to miss your grandfather's speech!"

"Almost ready, dad!" came Jason's Response.

Faintly, Tyber could be heard talking to Shiloh: "You look gorgeous, dear - so let's move, I don't want to miss your grandpa's speech. First one I'll have been to that I was at with you."

*** Ruusan ***

Alduah smiled as Bahkriid explained the situation. "Marvelous, my apprentice - simply marvelous. Without my instruction, you have expanded your own power. And even in this day and age, a Sith should always be looking for ways to expand their power," he complimented her. He looked to the others present. "Did anything else happen?"

"Nothing that we've seen so far," Akarkek replied. "We've been expecting company, but no one beyond us has arrived."

"However, I do sense a dark presence approaching the planet," Jaden added. "I can't specify as to who, though."

*** Dromund Kaas ***

A green lightsaber went active, and a brown-robed Jedi dropped from the trees, not far from Malgus. He immediately sent a telekinetic wave at Malgus, which was promptly redirected back at him by Malgus; the Jedi - a human - staggered, but did not fall. Malgus's hand remained on his lightsaber, but he did not draw it. "There is no need to attack me, Jedi - I am not the same Sith I once was," Malgus told the Jedi.

"The hell, you're not! Sith never reform! Your kind's transition into being a force for a better galaxy is another Sith lie!" the Jedi snarled.

"Don't believe me?" Malgus asked, "Ask the Mongdrigans who surround you; they can attest for the good I have done."

Rather than ask, the Jedi rushed Malgus, who Force-pushed the Jedi into a nearby tree.

*** Gamma-5 ***

The Sangheili Fleet, when finding nothing on scanners, shifted their focus on the debris field, intent on finding out how the planets managed to collide.

[Alessia Starfurr]

*** IKS Warwolf, approaching Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
"Ken, here, now?" Ninya asked, not really pushing back, at least they were in the private quaters. "your almost as bad as Freya." Ninya the female ferasan chuckled.

Meanwhile on the bridge "You still haven't upgraded the shield?" Another Ferasan asked A klingon "No, I haven't had the time, the new chancellor has had me busy, and then there's the Romulan Republic, At least the new chancellor isn't a petaQ." Kay'pal the Klingon said  "Kay'pal, we all didn't like the last Chancellor..." Kreya pointed out "Ahh yes ,but if you recall  he let Torq pretty much get away with what that PetaQ was doing."  "His bloodline is gone the house of Martok saw to that." Kreya responded.  Freya was on the comm console sighing at Kreya an Kay'pals talk, she opened a channel to the docks down below on Dragon'taan, letting out one last sigh "IKS Warwolf to Dragon'taan docks, requesting landing clearance and a docking bay, we're here for the festival please don't  delay us."

*** Tigress' Armory, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"I suppose most men don't have the guts to walk in  on a woman who produces weapons let alone a white Tiger woman who produces weapons." Tigress Chuckled.


*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"I'm following you." Kelli noted.

"You never know." Kari pointed out eye on the news feed screens in the bar showing the Speech grounds.



*** Indari Manor, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Leylah was already in her military uniform "this thing is itchy i prefer my armor." She noted "Jason you gonna be out here, today?" she asked

"Dang the family is growing." Amie chuckled.

"You're already my Mate Tyber you have no need to use smooth words." Shiloh noted. "Besides we'll have loving time later."


*** Ruusan ***
Riku looked around "So nobody has any idea what's  coming?" the large yellow Vixen asked.


"Whatever is coming it sure has great timing..." Tony Grumbled

"Tony, calm yourself, the festival last at least a week." Tonya sighed.

[Zack McCloud]

*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"Could that be him right there?", Vince said gesturing towards the new comer.

*** Indari Manor, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Zack stood there for a moment pondering the next move he should make, but it dawned on him that there was a simple solution to his puzzling question. *This was a stupid idea* he thought as he simply bee-lined towards the door not caring if he was noticed as his disguise faded and he shut the door behind him. As he looked back at Markus a vexed expression as he walked towards Fox, picking up his bag along the way. As he stood there infront of the man who raised him he unzipped his bag and pulled out a blaster case. "So, dad... I have a question, is this your blaster?" Zack asked the air became tense around them. Zack opened the case revealing a blaster bayonetted with a claw.

[Weaver]

*** Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"Uh... well that's not great," Weaver said in response to Ray. "I think taking some kind of language class should be among your first priorities. Kinda tricky to get around if you can't read. Uh, maybe you could get one of those universal translators maybe? Could have it just verbally tell you what things say."

"Oh, cool! Thanks!" the spider said to the droid. "Come on Ray. I have no idea what any of this is about, but it should be interesting." Weaver headed towards the closest taxi station provided Ray followed along.

[Rayleonarde]

*Dragon’taan*


Ray pulled himself from the poster, but seemed hesitant around the droid. He gave it a wide berth as he followed Weaver, glancing over his shoulder at the robot every so often. In the clean, Dragon'taanian air, it would be terribly obvious. The agent smelled, like burnt gasoline, sweat, and dirt. The CBRN suit was starting to decay, not made for such a long wear. The gloves were thinning, as were the joints, and parts of the hood and collar had small holes in them. Ray did his best to seem apologetic, yet unaffected. But, he was painfully embarrassed, as hygiene was something he held in high regard. ‘A great first impression,’ he chided internally. ‘Smell like a burnt-up locker room to a bunch of strangers.’ He leaned over and whispered to Weaver before they reached the desk.
“I gotta get new duds, Weaver. Might we make a detour before we reach the uh…speech floor?”




*Dromund Kaas*


The Mongdrigans surrounded Malgus and the Jedi, but didn’t interfere. Should the Jedi try to leg it, however, and the Mongdrigans would pounce as a rabid horde.


The twins stayed deep in the brush, watching for any other assailants that chose to make themselves known. The mech too kept its attention to the trees, ready to smear any Jedi across the forest floor.




*Gamma-5*


It took hours, and hundreds of scans, but the engineers aboard the Sangheili fleet were able to piece together something. A great engine, titanic in scope, was built on the moon and pushed it into the planet. But, the metal was foreign to this sector of the galaxy. Foreign to the galaxy at large, truthfully. It had too much inherent energy, like it’d been materialized instead of forged. Whatever perpetrated this attack was advanced. Really advanced.


*Deep Space*
The fleet cruised at just sub-lightspeed, as the Commander didn’t have light-speed tech. But, all the same, the hundred-strong fleet beelined for their destination.


On the stat chart, it looked to be a huge trade hub, central in the galaxy. And spectrometer scans show the planet to be mostly high density metals. The first attack would have to be swift, sudden and brutal. But the planet made for an excellent staging area for operations. The Commander even liked the name.
Coruscant.

[Romulan_Furry]

*** IKS Warwolf, approaching Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

On the bridge, Freya would receive a response: "IKS Warwolf, you are cleared to land; transmitting approach vector. Welcome to Dragon'taan."

In Ken'ji and Ninya's quarters, Ken'ji just chuckled at his mate's comment. "This kind of thing happens when I'm separated from you for so long," he said. "Can you really blame me?"

*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"Huh?" Falco responded to Vince, looking over at the Lucario. "Yeah, that's him."

Travis shrugged, and cast his gaze on the news screens covering what was soon to be the opening speech.

Malcolm walked out of the bar, hailed a taxi, and he and Kelli would head on it to the Speech area in the Central District.

*** Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Weaver and Ray would arrive at the taxi station just as the Romulan Republic news crew got their taxi and were underway to the speech area. The person manning the station - a Twi'lek, by the looks of her - was keeping her eyes glued to the nearby TV screen. "Come on, come on... what's taking so long?" She muttered, evidently unaware of Weaver and Ray.

*** Indari Manor, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"Can't say that it is," Fox commented. "I don't remember such a weapon. Where'd you pick that up?"

"Well, yeah," Jason told Leylah. "We're all going as a family."

"You're telling me," Drake muttered. Directing a call upstairs, he called out, "Uncle Mathayus! You 'bout ready?" In response, Mathayus came out wearing his Sith robes from his early days as Darth Faasnu. Next to him was his son, Max, wearing a ceremonial Sith Robe. Next to exit was Maria, Max's mother and Mathayus's wife.

"I'm guessing your father is already at the Speech area?" Mathayus asked.

"Dad always goes there early," Drake commented.

"Yeah, I bet," Tyber chuckled in response to Shiloh as he headed out into the foyer.

*** Tigress' Armory, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Blythe frowned. "Seriously?" he responded to Tigress. "Wow. I guess I'm the only Tiger so far who's had the guts to talk to you like this. Which, I imagine, means you aren't seeing anyone right now. I'd have thought a girl like you in a job like this would be spoken for already. I can't see why most men would be so intimidated by you."

*** Ruusan ***

Alduah looked at Riku. "Do you have some idea of what approaches? If you know something we don't, I would like to hear it."

"She hasn't said a word since she got here, master," Bahkriid commented while looking at Riku.

*** Dromund Kaas ***

The Jedi again rushed Malgus, but this time, Malgus ignited his lightsaber, and deflected the Jedi's blade and blasted him with Lightning, which sent the Jedi tumbling to the ground. "I have no quarrel with the current reigning Jedi Order, Jedi - don't give me one," Malgus growled.

"I am not a part of the 'current reigning Jedi Order'... none of us are," the Jedi spat as he got up off the ground.

"Us?" Malgus repeated.

"We are outcasts - breakaways," the Jedi explained. "But we grow every day, as we recruit more who see the corruption of the current Jedi Order and the Imperial Alliance they serve! And we will not suffer another Sith Empire coming to put us all in shackles!"

"The only thing you are shackled by is adherence to ways of the past that destroyed both Jedi and Sith orders," Malgus told the Jedi. "Times change."

"Then they can be changed back to the way things were!" the Jedi hissed as he lunged for another attack. The ensuing duel saw Malgus move like a blur, faster than most would have thought a man his age would be capable of. It ended when the Jedi made a lunge with his lightsaber, and Malgus deflected it, spun inward, and drove his own lightsaber into the man's chest - right through his heart. The Jedi was dead before he hit the ground.

When it was all over, Malgus extinguished his lightsaber and turned to the surrounding Mongdrigans. "Sweep the area - make sure no more Jedi like this one are present." He looked to Ickthis and added, "Commander, send a runner to our Intelligence branch... I want to know if they heard anything about a breakaway faction of Jedi." His gaze then fell upon Kurt and Ann. "I don't suppose I can count on help from the Dragon Federation on this?"

"We can definitely see if our people heard anything on them," Kurt responded.

"They sound like lunatics trying to turn back the clock," Ann remarked.
