“They’re not back yet?!” said the man with slicked back brown hair. His dark eyes were stricken with interest and his forefinger and thumb twisted the graying beard framing his jawline.
Deck officers and ensigns, scrambled, seemingly filling every crevice and corridor of the Nebula Class Star-Destroyer.
“Waza is right. The recon team should have reported by now.”
Gui Sol didn’t open his eyes as he sat in the Captain’s chair of the ODN Resurgent, even as the two noteworthy Jedi warriors standing before him stated their concerns. Thick dreads fell down over the face of the Kiffar and his eyes twitched beneath the folds of skin keeping the resplendent emerald orbs hidden from sight. His lip quivered as if he were muttering to himself without words.
Seeing the future or sampling memories had never been foreign to Gui, but ever since traveling through the portal to the Ethereal Realm, his gift of farsight and psychometry had worked in tandem at an intensified frequency.
He saw the faces of the four scouts that went ahead through the Shattered Plains. A twi'lek female named Shira Sorr, a human male named Dylan Cole, a human female Ronda Heran, and a Duros navigator named Borobo.
“Aw stricken..” Gui saw the look on their faces. “Shock, a flash of light and then silence.”
Gui’s eyes popped open and he saw Constantine and Waza locked in conversation. The ship was abuzz with activity but everything sounded as though he were submerged in water for a split second before his senses came rushing back all at once.
Wenet twitched her ears as she stood on top of one of the terminals, peering out the viewport.
“Eerie place, isn’t it?” came a strong female voice from a darkened corner. Adenn, the echani stood with her back against the far wall with her arms crossed. “Where to?” she asked Gui as he panted, monitoring the bleeps on the HUD.
“Waza, Constantine. You’re right. They should have been back. But I’m afraid they may be lost forever.” He added, going over the vague details of his vision.
Waza looked over the report received from the scouts. “Till all are of the force; brothers in arms” Waza says for the four lost scouts. Waza notices the fugue state Gui is in recovering from a force vision, waiting for him to come back he begins to formulate a plan for a fire team to begin special operations and larger scale troop movement across the plains.
“Gui I think we have a bloody march ahead of us and if we can move the Resurgent into position for bombardment and prep some bombers for close air support. Those crystal monsters could pose a problem.”
“If you command I can go alone or with a team to spearhead the flanking maneuver to set up ambush when the main force arrives.”
Knowing this would be a taxing engagement Waza hoped Wenet and Wedge would be available as the teamwork and rapport formed while on Kalsunor made him believe he could be a part of the Galaxy again.
As Adenn began speaking Waza turned to see the striking figure step from the shadows, mesmerized for a moment Waza almost forgot there was a war on. He refocused making a mental note to get to know the Echani warrior when time allowed.
“Yeah this place looks eerie, and tactically it’s going to be a mess, minimal cover, warped gravity, force quirkiness, it’s going to take everything we have to win this one.” Waza replied to the Echani, “My name is Waza I don’t think we’ve met before.”
Adenn tilted her head slightly to the older man, a soft smile on her lips. “The name’s Adenn. Adenn Suoh.”
She whistled sharply and an equally large wolf shambled to her side. “And this is Astra. He’s not overly friendly so I wouldn’t suggest offering anything you aren’t willing to lose in his direction.”
The Echani looked down at the small Kushiban and knelt down, her smile even wider. “And what of you, little one? Are you ready for even more legendary deeds?”
The Reaver touched her own face mimicking the scars running across Wenet’s face. “You have the look of someone who knows how to be just like the rest of us, yes?”
She laughed long and loud, a raucous sound like the bawling of blackbirds. The wolf beside her lounged with his tongue lolling and a grin that exhibited all of his very sharp teeth.
Wenet didn’t really seem to know how to deal with this overly large woman but her own pride caused her to stand on her hind feet, back stiff as a board and stare at the woman. The Echani noticed and acknowledged the Kushiban with a nod, warrior to warrior. Adenn turned to the command center and raised an eyebrow at the Kiffar. “What exactly are we looking for again? The safe path through this bucket of crazy?”
“I’m more than ready” Wenet replied with confidence when the towering woman rose up again. It was true, partly anyways. She was always ready for action and adventure, always ready for a new mission. But despite that, she didn’t really understand why in the galaxy they took her along for this one. She was still fairly new to the order, inexperienced even part from their mission on Kalsunor. And she was only 23.62 inches tall! Ofcourse Wenet did not refuse when she received the order to report for duty. When they mentioned the Ethereal Realm, her curiosity only grew stronger, she simply couldn’t refuse even if she was allowed to.
Wenet hopped off the terminal onto ground and walked over to the holo table. Standing on her hind legs she could see the holo image of the area where the reconnaissance team had gone missing. Next to the map the images of the scout team were displayed; Borobo, Dylan Cole, Ronda Heran and Shira Sorr. On the other side of the map there was a live feed of latest orbital scans.
“We are looking for them” Wenet replied to Adenn, pointing at the images of the missing team. “They were looking for a safe passage through the Corpse Field to the Children’s Fortress… in their last message they reported having secured a position within striking distance..” Wenet continued and used the tables controls “so that should be somewhere within this radius of the fortress” she said as a circle around the fortress appeared, showing their search area. “That’s still..pretty much ground to cover” her ears droop down and she glances at the others. Wenet wasn’t exactly the best person to plan anything, she was the type of person that would shoot first and ask questions later, but in this situation that wasn’t going to work.
Constantine looked too see what the world he had landed on, he had one hand, on his light sabre, in case the action was coming his way. Constantine shouts to Adenn ”is everyone okay”, Adenn replied fine. The group looked around the area to see, what was happening and there was a shout “Move”. The group moved onward, in this dark and damped environment, the trees seemed to speak to them, Constantine said slowly keep a lookout, there may more of this things around. The group then moved slowly across the damp ground, the earth seemed to start moving under their feet, the Grey Jedi, pulled out his sabre slowly and slightly to the right, the grey Jedi looked at Wedge and gave a facial sign that there may be trouble. Constantine then signs to the other fellow Jedi to look out for danger. The Grey Jedi stepped slowly on the ground, and saw with horror that the ground was opening up before their eyes and feet, someone shouted”Quick move to the higher ground”.The group moved,quickly there was a mount where they could,, go and seek some safety, they all we’re alive and that is what counted, they saw with their own eyes that the ground was indeed moving as the ground was not the ground at all, it was a creature, huge in size and was using the ground to, move around in.The group seemed safe and sound on the hill as they rested, they could see that there, was a old building, like an old church or castle, the grey Jedi could not quite understand or make it out
Constantine looked down once again at his sabre and wondered if he would use it or his new blade, as he had never used it before
and was wondering what damage it would do to a unfriendly, he for once had a smile on his face!’
“Gui let me form a fire team with Wenet and a few troopers and follow the path the scouts have laid out.” Waza said to the troubled leader. “We can verify the route and set up cover fire for the larger force to begin moving”
“If you’re ok with that Wenet we can move out in the next few minutes before everyone else starts feeling the effects of the force instability here.” Waza directed to the Kushiban.
Noticing that Aden and Constantine had left the room he had a flash of envy hoping to have a more in depth talk with the Echani warrior before the odds of dying increased for everyone. Waza had concerns about the crystal skulls and the monstrosities down there. As fierce as the Kushiban was fighting monsters would be a challenge for everyone. How do you fight spirits and souls? The crystal bodies’ could be crushed and destroyed but would the spirits die or would it become a force battle of wills the non-force soldiers would lose because of lack of experience. Even though he would follow orders and go with the ground assault he felt turning the surface into a puddle of blasted and melted crystal was the best course of action.
“Gui do you have orders for us from a coordinated plan from the Con or the dark council? We need a battle plan before we just run all over and accomplish nothing but getting people killed.” Waza questioned.
Pushing aside the bad feeling that was creeping into his gut, Waza waited for the response he was hoping for. A coordinated attack that would crush the field of corpses and get us to the final assault.
Master Gui Sol had a worried look on his face when he told them that ever since they had entered the Ethereal Real he had been plagued with images, some of which included the missing team. But he couldn’t tell if these visions were from events that had already happened or of possible futures. Without knowing exactly where the missing team was located, Jedi Master thought the bombardment Waza had suggested would simply be too risky “a bombardment would put the missing Odanites at risk” Instead they were going to surface at once, to start their search. With all the dangers of the realm lurking around, it was going to be a perilous endeavour. The only one who didn’t seem mind was towering Echani, ‘going in guns blazing’ was exactly what she had signed up for.
After a bumpy ride, their transport didn’t just land; it nearly crashed. “Is everyone ok?” Wenet heard Constantine ask. “Yeah… I think so” she replied, rubbing her forehead as had hit it against something or someone during their ‘their happy landing’. The Grey Jedi already moved out, quickly followed by the Echani warrior, Adenn. Wenet however stayed, being the one with the least experience she thought it best to just await orders.
“Yes sir!” Wenet replied enthusiastically when Waza asked if she was ok with forming a small fire team. “I’m ready!” She added and grabbed her rifle off her back and checked it one last time before leaving the transport. “Do you want me to call the others back?” She asked before their Master Sol could tell them their orders. Waza looked at her, “by the looks of it, they have already headed out” he said with a hint of disappointment in his voice, although Wenet didn’t know why. Then he reached for coms and contacted those that had left. “Constantine, Adenn, hold your position until further orders and report what you see out there” he told them. After a moment of static the Grey Jedi responded “better come up with a plan quick Waza.. it seems our landing hasn’t gone unnoticed. Something big is coming your way!” Wenet’s eyes widened, “something big? How big?” She asked as for her everyone was bigger than her..
As blaster bolts and crystal shards pinged off the hull of the ship, a massive explosion rocked the surface nearby. With debris flying in all direction and the screams of the injured filling the air Waza and Wenet exited the landing craft.
“Boss man I suggest you set up command somewhere other than this big target.” Waza said as he left the ship. With that, contact with the enemy had been engaged. As Waza slide into a trench about five foot deep, he hunkered down to avoid the fire streaking by. Wenet followed close behind able to be fully covered. Peeking over the lip Waza saw the Echani Adenn laying down fire into a bunker. The exchange had drawn most of the fire concentrated on her.
“Wenet; Adenn is nearly pinned down but she has their attention we need to clear that bunker and move forward.” Waza stood and raised his barrier power to cover the beginning of the charge. Unexpectedly the color warped and changed as the barrier failed, Waza was struck in the face as a slug whizzed right through causing a laceration just below his right eye. Spinning with the impact Waza threw a blinding flash towards the enemy. As if on cue the force warped again causing the flash to explode with the brightness of a thermite bomb as everyone scream and tried to shield their eyes.
Wenet reacted swiftly as the trench mostly blocked the light. She sprang through the air with a leap she was not expecting as the force pushed her with more intensity than she intended. Instead of a jump to clear the wall of crystal, she was now traveling like a missile towards the bunker. Firing her rifle with precision of a trained warrior striking several targets. As she neared the opening, Wenet slung her rifle, flips and ignites her saber. The flash of her saber lights inside the bunker. With more than one foe inside Wenet moves quickly striking for lethal areas trying to bring down the gun crews before she is overwhelmed. Reaver Adenn charges the bunker dropping her shoulder to bust through the wall like a T2-B battle tank. As she hits the wall a burst of force power surges through her like she has never felt before. Extending her arms to clear the remains of the wall a wave of force power extends from her hand throwing everyone in the room bouncing them off the back wall. Wenet adeptly flows with the suddenness of the attack spinning and rebounding off the ceiling. Adenn unsheathes her sword and begins destroying enemies before they recover. With a ferocious roar, Wenet clears the last enemies. Standing side by side, the Echani and the Kushiban strike an imposing scene surrounded by destruction of the first engagement.
“Little one this is going to be fun. Come on old man keep up!!” Adenn shouts as she kicks open the door at the back of the bunker to run into a crystal rancor lumbering towards her. Drawing her dual firearms, she begins to fire at the head. With slugs crashing into and striking all over the rancor Wenet charges the beast attempting to scale the monsters leg. Waza charges around the collapsing bunker igniting his saber he reaches out with the force to grab its right arm that had been moving to grab the small Kushiban. Just as before the Force responds unpredictable and Waza rips the arm clean off the beast. Adenn walks her last the of ten shots down the torso as Wenet scales to its head. Lurching forward the beast dislodges Wenet as she slides down its head she ignites her saber plunging it into the head to slow her fall and score the kill as it falls to the ground with a loud whine of pain and its last breath escaping. “Where do we go now?” Wenet askes almost giddy with the knowledge she could handle this and the self-confidence that brought she stood just a little taller and squared her shoulders.
Waza calls out to the troopers and those around him, “Lets push forward we have an opening.”
After clearing the bunker with Adenn and Waza, and taking down the crystal Rancor it was time to move on. But until now the team Odanites hadn’t really had the time yet to figure out where exactly they were. Somewhere on the shattered plains, that was all that was certain. Constantine stood on the top of a large crystalline rock formation at the edge of a gorge, gazing through a set of binocs. “Well, I can see the fortress” the Grey Jedi called out to the others behind her, “that’s good news” Waza replied as he climbed up to have a look as well. “Over there brother” Constantine said pointing at the grim view of a large structure against the horizon. “Like this it doesn’t look far” they grey Jedi continued while Waza was using the binocs “but we will have to cross several gorges to get there.. and don’t forget about the corpse field surrounding the fortress.”
Meanwhile, down below Wenet stood next to the Crystal Rancor. “You should take a trophy, little one” the large Echani warrior said with an approving smile. “You think so?” Wenet asked as she looked at the strange looking beast they had just killed. Adenn nods “certainly, it’s your kill. I must admit I underestimated you when we first met. You did well… really well.” The Warrior smiled at the small Kushiban, she was impressed by her. “What should I take?” Wenet asked, “a tooth or a claw.. nothing too big though, we still have plenty of fighting to do.”
Waza was still gazing through the binocs, trying to find a safe path through the shattered plains. Somewhere on these plains the other team went missing, but where? From where they were standing they could see the Corpse field as the crystalline dust that covered the piles dead shimmered in the light of the burning pyres. They could plumes of smoke and clouds of an eerie fog rolling over the fields. “Over there.. that crescent shaped gorge..” Waza noticed flashes of light in the mist “it looks like weapons fire… might be our missing team” he said hopefully but knew very well that this realm could play tricks on anyone’s mind. “If not, at least we’ll be getting closer to the fortress.. ” he added as he handed the binocs back to Constantine. “If we’re really lucky we might even find a tunnel in one of those caverns that leads under the corpse fields” Waza continued as he climbed down to the others.
When Waza reached, the others Gui had joined the team and had begun to formulate a plan to move forward.
“With the main force of soldiers moving in the northerly direction occupying the oppositions attention we should be able to check out that area you saw Waza.” Moving towards the crescent shaped gorge the five of them began to spread out forming a line with a few meters between them, Constantine, Adenn, Wenet in the middle, Waza to the right and Gui on the far right. Listening to the sounds of explosions and screams of pain drifting through the air kept this walk from seeming like a weird hiking trip. So far, for several kilometers no enemy contact, as they neared the area spotted earlier a hum permeated the air so deep it could be felt resonating in the center of their torso. With a sudden crack and streak of lightening, that had no beginning everyone staggered and felt odd.
“That was the Chain, whatever they are doing the chain is beginning to crack we need to finish the fight or the Brotherhood could be finished.” Gui said clutching his head. The group picked up the pace still not knowing if the scout team was alive or even if they were headed for clan members or someone else. As the group topped a small rise in the terrain, the ground suddenly dropped out to reveal a 20-foot drop with a crevasse of nearly 200 feet across.
“That’s a long jump with the force as wonky as it has been I’m not sure I’d tempt it.” Waza said looking at the blasted and cratered sides of the ground. Waza grabbed the edge and swung down to find decent foot and hand holds. Quickly climbing down the group reached the bottom. Moving across the blasted surface the far side of the wall soon became visible with a massive tunnel right in front of them. Able to maintain three abreast in the tunnel they entered with Gui, Waza and Adenn leading. The air inside the tunnel rang with ethereal voices, singing but not singing. Once inside silence broken by something just on the edge of hearing enveloped them. The voices were so faint they were barely audible but when concentrated on, only the sound of metal ticking on metal could be heard. Without knowing if, the voices were in the force or imagination no one was going to comment on them but clearly, everyone heard them.
The smooth bore of the tunnel walls gave the impression of a fabricated passage. “This looks more like a hallway than any tunnel or burro I’ve ever been in.” Wenet pronounced from the middle of the group. As everyone was looking around searching for the source of the voices and noise Waza realized the tunnel had narrowed forcing them to walk closer together. Not that he minded walking next to Adenn, he just wished it was an appropriate time to strike up a conversation that could lead to more than combat. The tunnel narrowed forcing them to walk two by two. Gui and Adenn now in front; Waza next to Wenet notices the trophy from the Rancor and smiles at his companion. Constantine bringing up the rear says “Did we take a turn or is this unusually straight for a tunnel. I think we are starting to go up hill.” Waza thinking the view isn’t too bad from the second row says “Yeah now that you mention it I think we are on an incline.” Closer to the end of the tunnel figures cast shadows in the mouth of the tunnel moving towards the group.
A hush filled the cave that could be felt. Gui reached out and gripped Adenn by the shoulder to stop her forward momentum and flicked his left wrist. An assortment of parts in the shape of a lightsaber hilt snapped into his palm from the spring-loaded bracer he had made as a Padawan. It still came in handy. Seeing to it that his trusty lightsaber was always within reach and easily accessible.
The shadows grew closer and the team settled into the darkness of the cave. Footsteps grew louder and a shimmering light swept the cavern.
“They’re about to be right on top of us.” Waza whispered through clenched teeth.
“Easy.” Gui returned.
The figures’ shadows fluttered against the wall and just as they were about to be in view. They vanished. Wenet’s ears twitched and she cocked her head to the side.
“Where did they go?”
“Or were they ever really here?” Adenn replied.
Gui knelt down and with his exposed fingertips he placed them onto the cavern floor. He closed his eyes and channeled his innate psychometry and flashes of the very crew they had been looking for flooded his mind in one broken fragment of information.
“They were here,” Gui spoke “but they were lost and started to backtrack.” He focussed harder. “They then bolted up the incline. Something or someone drew their attention in a hurry.” He stood up. “Is what were seeing on these cave walls traces of their living energy?” He thought outloud. “Lets keep moving.”
As they began to move again a rumble from deep in the planet shook the walls of the cave, tossing everyone off balance causing them to fall. Suddenly a pile of beings trying to untangle themselves they hear what no one underground wants to hear, rocks falling and rolling.
Wenet is the first clear of the flailing arms and legs. “The walls have opened up; get ready we have company!”
Gui and Constantine slide from the pile up pulling Waza and Adenn to their feet. Drawing weapons they look around for targets. From newly formed openings on both sides of the tunnel several soldiers stream into the main tunnel with swords raised.
“Never bring a sword to a gun fight.” Adenn says as she opens up the pistols popping two of the attackers as they begin their charge. Wenet starts with her rifle laying down a suppressing fire. Appearing like a wild spray of blasts; Wenet’s true skill with the weapon became a blanket of well-placed and times shots all but stopping the forward momentum. Over the sounds of gun fire three lightsabers ignite and illuminate the walls in a wash of colors. Stepping forward Adenn holsters her pistols drawing her sword, Wenet slings her rifle, draws her saber and ignites it one fluid motion. The remaining twelve soldiers stumble taken aback or the sight momentarily they balk not knowing they all just died.
“You boys gonna learn today.” Waza says as the five companions charge. Adenn brings her sword across in a sweeping strike at an opponent to open his chest. One of his team tried to push him away only opening himself to the same blade, Adenn cut them both in half from shoulder to hip without changing momentum. Wenet jumped across the walls moving like gravity was hers to command at will. From floor to wall to roof, bouncing off the shoulders and falling heads Wenet showed no hesitation in dismembering those who stood against her. When she landed behind the enemy three had fallen to her blade. Gui set his stance thrusting his saber through the heart of the soldier in front of him then swinging right separated the next man from his hip. Waza reached out through the force to drag his target to him skewering him like a kabob, while Constantine spun his way through the fray to take down the last two enemies.
Blaster fire echoed down the tunnel from the direction up the incline.
“That could be our team.” Waza said as the group moved up the incline at a faster pace. Maybe the squad could still be found. Maybe the force was still giving echoes of the past. The tunnel opened into the crescent shaped gorge. Widening at a sharp angle allowing for multiple tunnels and people to cover the ever ranging floor blaster fire lanced from one tunnel to the other.
“Gui can you sense our team? I’m not getting anything. Someone try comms!” Waza said. “We can’t just go rushing into a fire fight. Every hold your ground for a moment.” Adenn said.
As ordered by Adenn, Wenet stayed put while they tried to contact the missing scout team. Firmly holding on to her saber she looked around the gorge. It was dark almost pitch black if it wasn’t for the barrage of blaster fire in the nearby distance.
“Shira… Shira Sorr, this is Master Gui Sol, do you read?” Gui spoke over the comm in an attempt to contact the scout team. “Borobo.. can you hear me?.. where are you?..”
Meanwnile, Wenet kept her eyes open. In the flashes of light, shadows were casted against the steep walls of the gorge. At first glance they seemed to be shadows of men and women fighting but when they’d actually paid attention they would notice there was something wrong. The shadows seemed deformed, not humanoid at all. Wenet blinked a couple of times, “what the… are you guys seeing that?” She asked but the others were still trying to make contact with the missing team.
“Cole…Heran.. do you read!” Master Sol kept trying but the comms stayed quiet.
The Kushiban rubbed in her eyes and looked again, the way the shadows moved made it look like it was one big blob of people fused together. But before whe could ask again. “Look!” Constatine called out and pointed up. A dark smoke was pouring over the edge into the gorge. “I think we are at the border of the Corpse fields” the grey Jedi continued with worry in her voice. “What does that mean?” Wenet asked as she looked up. “Trouble… that’s what it means” Waza replied and looked at the Kushiban.
Then suddenly they heard a crackle over the comms.. “Master Sol?” A feminine voice whispered… “it that really you?” The voice continued but it was barely audible over the noise of the blasters. “They are not here” Adenn suddenly noted, “the blasters, we don’t hear them over the comms” she explained. Waza looked at the Echani and nodded “you’re right.” “Ronda? Ronda Heran? Yes it’s Gui, were here to get you out.. where are you!?” Master Sol asked having heard what Adenn said. “I don’t know.. it’s dark.. and cold.. there’s something out there…” Ronda answered with a tremble in her voice, they could hear she was genuinely afraid. “Dylan is hurt… I lost Shira and Boboro.. we got split up… Kriff…” suddenly they heard a screech in the background “please hurry”.
The comm link cut off with a pop of static. “we need to get out of here, this gorge is not a good place to be.” Waza said. Almost imperceptible Wenet’s comm link popped static.
“I don’t know.. it’s dark.. and cold.. there’s something out there…” “Dylan is hurt… I lost Shira and Boboro.. we got split up… Kriff…” “please hurry”.
Everyone tuned as the blaster fire suddenly went silent. Preparing for an enemy charge of infantry the group braced. No one could be seen, as if they were alone in the gorge. Waza’s Comm link popped static. “I don’t know.. it’s dark.. and cold.. there’s something out there…” “Dylan is hurt… I lost Shira and Boboro.. we got split up… Kriff…” “please hurry”.
Adenn looked around “I knew this place affected the force but technology too? We need to move now.” Gui lead the group to the far wall and a cave he hoped would lead back to the surface. Traversing this new cave was slower and narrower. Passage through was not all walking; crawling and squeezing into crevasses had the group on edge, sweaty and dirty. Moving for what seemed like hours the group finally had room to walk mostly upright at a slight incline. Static popped again. “I don’t know.. it’s dark.. and cold.. there’s something out there…” “Dylan is hurt… I lost Shira and Boboro.. we got split up… Kriff…” “please hurry”.
Soon the cave turned into an actual hallway leading to a door. Gui opened the door cautiously, to reveal a hallway in the lower level of the fortress.
Moving tacitly down the corridor the group finds a massive blast door that opens to a domed room thousands of meters across. Moving into the room Waza and the group see what appears to be a crystal garden. Various colors and shapes with pulsating lights and surprisingly harmonic sounds. Suddenly echoing through the chamber a pop of static… “I don’t know.. it’s dark.. and cold.. there’s something out there…” “Dylan is hurt… I lost Shira and Boboro.. we got split up… Kriff…” “please hurry”.
As Gui nears the first crystal formation he recognizes the face Boboro. Looking around in horror Gui recognizes the whole scout team and thousands of Brotherhood troopers and solders. Jedi and Sith trapped in crystal still alive but dead. “Let’s go we need to leave now.” Gui says. Calling the Resurgent for evac and to pull the troops. “Get ships down here for everyone and level this place from orbit. Send out the evac signal and start firing now. Everyone out!!” Lances of turbo laser fire begin streaking through the atmosphere. Screaming death lights up the sky blasting everything in a 10x 10 mile square area. Everything shakes as the Star Destroyer takes revenge for all the brotherhood lives lost.
