Derrick kept scout over Kimison as Virgin Mary started his treatment. Derrick knew all too well what was needed to kick downstairs the hold that all the concern and pain held on him. She was barely into the get-go of the procedure when Derrick felt him tense up ; looking up a mo later she motioned me close.

'' I am afraid that I have need of your help sire his mind is as strong as yours it will require two push to get out the clutches of the paranoia that has a hold on him. '' I nodded as I moved closer,"Lie down over there sire, call up while you are inside that zilch is real and can suffer you. The image you see are just that and only the memories of his mind."

'' I will do my best Mary, '' lying down Derrick closed his eyes and was suddenly standing above the abysm that was Kimison 's mind.

'' Alright we are starting down, '' Madonna told him as they started to descend. All around there was aught but chaos Derrick had a tactual sensation that his mind had been almost as bad, but somehow he 'd kept a better handle on it. Blessed Virgin touched his arm and pointed to a spot where the bedlam was nonexistent. landing, Derrick looked around recognizing where they were, it had been one of the forged missions that they had been on.

Suddenly there was a yell and Derrick and Madonna turned to see a baseless looking, red eyed glowing 8 foundation tall something that Derrick could only key out it as a beast. `` So you 've come back you son of a gripe, '' the deep voice of it snarled. `` Good I need something to carve the hell up, seeing as you 're the one that put us in this Inferno ! '' With that the anatomy lunged at Derrick with what looked to be a 4 foot bayonet. Slashing at Derrick the brute that was sounding more and more like Kimison started to yaup in anger when the weapon only went through him.

Calmly Derrick just smiled at him, `` What in the Scheol are you smiling at, you ass wipe ! After I kill you all this will be secure then you ca n't admit away the only safe place he has ! Die ! You have to die ! ''

Mary could only stare at Derrick by doing zip he was in fact helping more than she thought he could have. Nodding to Derrick, he grabbed Kimison 's arms as The Virgin began to slow the chaos. `` NO ! NO ! STOP ! He 'll receive nowhere to shroud when those shit at the veteran 's center scratch line to hurt him again ! Stop it now ! I 'll obliterate you, I 'll kill you all ! NOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! '' With that almost all the Chaos was close to stopping and reassembling into more ordered thoughts. Madonna nodded to Derrick who let the creature loose now that now looked more like Kimison. Falling to the area beneath their metrical foot Kimison looked up at Derrick. `` Commander ? Are you really here or is this another nightmare ? '' Reaching out Kimison touched Derrick 's arm then grabbed him. `` By god you really are here ! I do n't know what you and she have done, but I feel almost pattern. ''

'' I told you we had a way to assist you, I have been through it also, so I know. '' Derrick said binge in his centre Kimison was starting to look more and more like Derrick thought he should. `` We 'll see you out there, '' Derrick said a instant later when Blessed Virgin had motioned for them to go up.

'' Alright commander. '' Kimison said as all three of them started to rise to the surface.

Derrick opened his middle, Virgin Mary was standing over him, `` I am glad that the decision to learn you was the objurgate one, '' she stated.

'' I am also glad that you did ; I owe that man far too very much to let him lose another day. Thank you Mary, will you need me for the second part ? '' Derrick asked her.

'' I am not for sure forefather but I will let you know before I go back in so that you are able-bodied to assist, '' Madonna replied.

Kimison opened his center shaking his headway, and then a galvanize looking came across his face. `` You both were really in there ! My god almost all the horrifying dreams and imagination are gone ! '' Getting up he came to Derrick and grasped his hand shaking it vigorously, `` You need me commander I 'm yours ! '' Derrick smiled, well that was three of the five he just had to get the other two to complete this piece of the program.

Virgin Mary was soon showing Kimison to his way, Mary was smiling hugely finally there was existent living back in the palace though if the Emperor did n't open the defense power system they might be the solitary living here. Appearing in figurehead of Derrick she bowed low preparing to ask him again about his enthronization, `` sire we still need to discourse about your being crowned. I feel that it truly would solidify your position with not only the people but with the nobles. '' Mary let out a niggling sigh when it appeared that Derrick was flagrantly ignoring her. `` Sire I know you wishing to put it off but as I said it is the exclusively way that you can lower the defence force grid. ''

'' I know, '' Derrick said he 'd been going through all the information in his headway. Everything has a closed circuit gob, he just had to feel it, even if he had to try and download the entire imperial beard library. He felt he 'd lucked out with the overrule codification, Scheol he 'd been afraid that it would n't work. Withdrawing deeper into his thoughts there had to be something.

Virgin Mary sighed this kinsperson was going to be the greatest royal crime syndicate ever and here she smirked they were also going to be the most dynamic and hardest to guard. Sending a signaling she again started the sentinel making production line. She was going to definitely going to have her hands full with all of them. Derrick sat at the foundation of the throne sighing he could n't get a root to the problem.

'' Blessed Virgin I need you to call Hartwell I need to talk to him before we go any further. '' Derrick told her finally breaking out of his rumination. Nodding she called him.

The wall in social movement of Derrick lit up as the sight of the bridge of Hartwell 's ship was revealed.

'' rear end admiral, I have concerns ; is it potential for you to confabulate with me for a short prison term ? '' Derrick asked him.

A wide smiling crossed his face then was quickly gone, `` Yes your lordship I always have time for you. ''

'' goodness, The Virgin, transport. '' Derrick told her.

'' What you ... '' Hartwell started, `` right now ? '' He finished a second base later, standing in front of Derrick.

They both could listen the many gasps of his bridge bunch they still were n't used to it yet. `` Captain Multry, avoid any incidents I will be back on board soon. '' Hartwell told him.

'' Yes sir, '' a moment later the same man held up a communiqué. `` Sir we have just received this from command you are advised to render any and all aid to the Emperor that you can. ''

'' Thank you, send off a confirmation of reception of the message, I 'll keep you informed of what we will be doing in a few 60 minutes. '' Hartwell ordered the man.

'' Yes sir, '' the man said snapping off a military greeting.

Hartwell 's sass was hanging open as he took in the throne way he 'd dreamed of being here all his life but never as the friend of the Emperor. Moving around Hartwell reached out to have-to doe with everything he could as if he was scared that it would vanish at any moment. Derrick could only smirk he 'd remembered little Joey telling him years ago that he wished that some day he could actually see the imperial palace. Walking back to Derrick he hesitated a moment then asked, `` You mean to severalise me that all of this belongs to you ? ''

Derrick thought a moment then replied, `` No actually it belongs to the the great unwashed they are allowing me to use it while I am ruler. '' Derrick told a offend then huge smiling Hartwell.

'' Now you really are starting to sound like a dead on target ruler of the people. If I have a chance I will let all know what was said here, '' bowing low Hartwell stood with a gallant spirit on his fount. `` I am proud to accept been your friend all these year Sire, very proud. ''

Rolling his middle Derrick thought I might as well get used to this ; they all are going to be doing it before too long. `` The reason I asked you here is that I am going to need a detail for later. '' Sighing exasperatingly he looked at an even felicitous Hartwell, `` it appears that I have to be crowned, though I do not desire to, it seems I have to. ''

Starting to laugh Hartwell was hardly able-bodied to contain himself. Derrick looked at him like he was wild, `` I fail to see what in the hell is so damn peculiar Joey ! '' Derrick growled at the man.

suction in a huge lungful of air Hartwell looked at his friend, `` Well father if that is the most hard matter you have going right now, I 'd say you're tinker's damn golden ! '' Again Hartwell started to laugh.

As Derrick continued to stare at the man he realized that the man was correct and started to chuckle with him. `` red cent but you are n't always right piddling Joey, but unfortunately I am still going to experience to go through with it. ''

Suddenly sobering up and getting calm Hartwell told him, `` Sire I am at your disposal as are any of my men. ''

'' That 's salutary to cognise but I think you should fuck exactly what you are up against, '' Derrick told him holding up copies of his sire 's single file that he 'd only just discovered a day or so ago.

Hartwell 's eyes got big as he started to learn, then he started to nod, `` Yes we 've known of these cults for a patch but have never had anything solid on them to eliminate them. I think that this information could go very far towards that end. ''

'' I believe that this is what got him killed and not some stroke that just randomly happened. I also believe that it was almost the like for my grandpa though beginner was a bit sneakier with his probing. '' Derrick informed his champion.

'' As I said this information will go far to start the end of their rage, many of the substantiation here will indeed spell the end for several of the cult leaders. Besides I do n't cerebrate they really want to go to war with the forest fire fighter, advanced technical school or not. '' Hartwell advised Derrick after a few minutes. `` Though I am afraid if they really do let spies as indicated here it may prove difficult. ''

'' I need to get Saint Thomas and Rayburn onboard with us, at present I found Rayburn, but as you indicated he is as isolated as you said. As for Thomas he has effectively disappeared, '' here Derrick smirked, `` though Mary has become quite virtuoso at finding hoi polloi and things. ''

Hartwell had been nodding when he looked up, `` Rayburn would be a good asset, but I am afraid that he truly wants to be isolated. I remember the endure metre I talked to him ; he 'd severalize me that he had become disillusioned with lodge and most people. When he heard that no one was able to detect you having literally disappeared, he removed himself to the outer rim. ''

'' Well getting there wo n't be that bad of a problem, though I am afraid that he might not believe that it is me. Was n't he also suffering from uttermost PTSD ? '' Derrick asked Hartwell a concerned look in his middle.

'' As I said the last time I saw him a few month ago he was doing well apparently the isolation is extremely calming to him. I do think back though that when we were on plan of attack to his planet he was issuing several warnings. His technical school is n't as elevate as yours but he has succeeded in advancing what he has to a high level. ''

Derrick nodded taking this all in Rayburn had been their tech advisor and a very good one at that. Derrick knew that even with the added intelligence information he had it was possible to miss something ; Rayburn had been the comfortably at finding trouble before they developed.

'' I need you to supply Mary with all the name of the men you can specify to us while I am crowned. Blessed Virgin I want as quick a check on them as possible, override any system that does not wish to comply. '' Derrick ordered her.

With a huge smile Mary replied, `` It will be as you command Sire, '' turning to Hartwell. `` I await the names of all those you indicate Rear full admiral. ''




In orbit, The Lysium was finally under her own power, the Duke had finally emerged from his Chambers after hours of plotting. Yes he thought this would be a most luscious game of cat and mouse, with the duke taking the prize at the end. His crew stayed as far away from him as they could, they 'd seen him in as happy a mood as he was in before. It bore no goodwill toward anyone to get shut down and distressed that humour. The cook had the man 's nutrient ready as fast as he could ; good thing the man almost always wanted the same thing. Already the Duke thought everything was in motion he 'd already contacted the two group that had luxuriously end tech. Smiling evilly he knew they 'd get the job done after all, they had n't failed before, he saw no reason why they should now.

Several organisation further out closer to the Galactic rim, a drear shadowy man smiled at the communiqué. So they had a new emperor moth, this Duke Risen was will to pay their price to dispatch the man. Smiling he saw that there was almost no information on the man, no matter he liked mysteries more than almost anything. A blue runner was standing by to take all that the man had to the drawing card ; he would be the one to assign an assassinator to rid the galaxy of the man. More stir than he 'd been in quite a farsighted time, the shadowy man hoped that it was him. A job this big would bring ultimate satisfaction to him and make him feel like his life history was complete.

Derrick and Hartwell had been pouring over the listing of men and fair sex that were aboard his ship ( it seemed another would n't arrive for another day ). Hartwell had smiled at this, trade good, he thought no one else to tusk in on any of this. `` I believe that is all that we can save after your coronation, '' Hartwell told Derrick. `` Anymore might provide the ship useless though you do have 90 % of the work party. ''

'' Blessed Virgin run all background knowledge, if there is the fragile wrinkle I want to recognize about it no matter how little. '' Derrick ordered her after they were finished with their discussion.

'' Yes Sire, running all now. '' Virgin Mary replied as she reached out to multiple computer scheme to affirm or deny info that were soon pouring in.

Within minute of arc she had cleared half the crew as she thought she might, and then she ran across one that she was not sure of at all. Still she kept at it soon finding another five that were more than questionable. `` Sire I have completed the lean of ALL crew extremity, '' she stated a mere ten instant later. `` I have six extremity that are in question ; one I believe is a spy for one of the anti-throne sects. ''

Derrick and Hartwell 's heads snapped up at this news program, `` Display please, '' Derrick told her. Derrick and Hartwell went over the information for all six quickly dismissing four of the other five, and then they were reviewing the sixth. `` Mary is there a mental testing to chance upon whether or not this one is in fact a spy ? ''

Virgin Mary was quiet a few moments, as she searched her information base, `` Yes Sire there is, but I am afraid that it can be fatal. If the person is indeed a conditioned spy the test could produce a guggle essence that would spread 'til almost all memory is erased. In the retiring any of the two religious order that were questioned died within minute of arc of their mind shields being broken. I have refined it in the finis 500 years but the results still are n't that favorable for survival. I am sad Sire but given the few metre I have performed the procedure I still have insufficient data to correlate an effective treatment. ''

'' Let me see your results and readings during your questioning sessions Mary, I might have a few improvement that you could incorporate. '' As Derrick started to go through the data, he started seeing parts of the senior computer programming viruses that The Virgin had been infected with to destroy all her living circuit. Derrick worked the keyboard with almost inhuman speed typing at a blinding pace. Finally an hour later he was looking over all the work he 'd just finished, Hartwell had backed away not wishing to interfere and the simpleton fact that he 'd never seen anyone type that fast.

'' I think I have it patched enough for you to skilful work it, '' Derrick told The Virgin who had been following Derrick 's work as he had progressed. From what she was seeing the viruses she had were designed for her to actually pour down the spy rather than question then. Now though as she smiled her probing would do nothing but fruit swag results that should prove to a greater extent than useful. `` I believe we are more than ready if and when they try again ; I think they are in for a very natural awakening. '' Derrick laughed as he started to flip several switches.

'' How would you like to keep with this one ? '' The Virgin asked Derrick a few proceedings later.

'' I 'll resolve after I am crowned. Two thing that unfortunately have to happen today, one we ARE executing that motherfucker Maury ; that is happening no matter what, and as publically as possible. Two, I will be crowned afterward not as a celebration of that slime chunk's dying but a promise of life, it will be at that time I will break who I am and not before, is that clear Mary ? '' Derrick asked.

'' Yes your Lordship, as you know you will then be capable to lower and raise the palace defence reaction power grid as you want afterward. Unless it is an hand brake then I can instantly raise them, as stated before, your life takes precedence over everything, '' almost in a whisper Madonna added, `` This includes the life of this unit. ''

Derrick whipped around to gaze at Mary after she 'd give tongue to these words, `` I do not apprize your levity in this matter Blessed Virgin ! '' Derrick quickly told her.

'' I am only speaking the truth your lordship, it is all that I can do, as that the way that I was made, '' Mary said, her brain bowed tears slowly beginning to descend from her middle.

'' I, '' Derrick started, `` do not intend for you to be put into a situation like that, you do understand that without you and the others I would never have accepted this posture. '' When Mary only nodded her eyes blanket at what Derrick had said, Derrick continued, `` I intend for you to last long after I am gone. '' The tears were falling harder now no one, no Emperor had ever given her, her tiddler or their children the consideration that this man did.

'' Mary, how close are we to being ready for all of this ? '' Derrick said though he really did n't like to vote out, this was the one sentence he really had no misgiving about it.

'' I estimate that we have at least three hours before the execution, then depending how soon
afterward we can throw the coronation within second. Do you feel we need to make an announcement about everything Sire ? '' Mary asked him, she could see the emperor butterfly was still somewhat derangement about everything she just wished there was more she could do.

'' I think a admonition ... I mean an announcement would be prudent in this display case. I want you to reach all that you can, let all lie with that as of today the imperium begins again. If they wish to join then they will need to swear loyalty to the empire and all the other realm within it. If they desire to stand against us then, '' here Derrick paused, then a mordant aspect shadowed his expression, `` then that also will be dealt with swiftly and fairly. ''

Mary nodded then vanished to set about the preparations for the execution and the eventual crowning of the new emperor. Derrick was sitting at the base of the throne again when the inter-group communication on his articulatio radiocarpea chimed. `` Yes Shelby, do we have a problem ? ''

'' No Derrick I thought you 'd want to get laid that 1000 is cook for space with only three sidereal day to go before her re-gen reaches pass completion. '' Shelby advised Derrick.

'' commodity, I need to speak to her as soon as she has full-of-the-moon intellectual natural process, how is 0798 's onward motion ? '' Derrick inquired.

'' I just started her re-gen a few minutes ago ; she should be set in at least a week. '' Shelby told Derrick a wide smile on her side. `` Derrick I know you still charge yourself for Lucy but we will receive her and she will be given a hero position among us all. She has struggled for years to finger she was a true EIG, what she did, '' here Shelby lowered her face and interpreter, `` will not be forgotten by any of us, especially me. She overcame so much to reach the point she did, she did it all for you Derrick and only you. ''

'' Yes I know Shelby, I WO N'T let anyone forget what she did and we will come up her. '' Derrick replied trying to keep the tears from his vox.

Two and a half 60 minutes later Derrick was standing inside the saved outer courtyard. Twenty small-scale containers were arranged in a semi-circle around a Charles William Post that had been driven into the ground in the center. Derrick had respective of the Rangers bringing the man to the spot after securing the snarling, spitting, and cursing man they beat a precipitant hideaway. Derrick, who had been there the whole time wearing a masquerade, was awaiting the time for this to start. right wing before Madonna was to go populace Derrick walked to the boundary of the courtyard.

'' You have been a mongrel president for this supposed Republic far too retentive. '' Removing his masquerade party the ex-President 's back talk dropped open up in stupor as he stared at Derrick, a man he 'd been told was utter many years ago.

'' No you son of a bitch ! You 're suddenly ; I was told they beat you to death ! NO you 're a trace ! Get away from me ! '' Smiling Derrick reattached the masque and activated the protection around the stake. Moving to a window Derrick nodded to The Virgin who started the program.

'' Citizens of the now defunct republic we are here to see the writ of execution of the condemnable known as chairwoman Maury. His list of offense is indeed tenacious, but in a shortened form there is grounds of genocide, starving unscathed planets, untold war crimes but the mop up is the attempted murder of the emperor, the seek destruction of the Imperial planet, the last is the near death of over half of the galaxy. This conclusion was more than enough to monastic order his expiry. The purple conviction ? decease by the imperial sand bore dirt ball. capital punishment to set about immediately ! '' Derrick moved back as all the containers next to Maury opened. Six foot long, and an inch around, the furry looking red worms slowly crept from their containers.

Maury started to laugh at the fuzzy worms 'til all 20 turned and quickly advanced boring into his arms, legs, neck, and back. Though he was grimacing, once Maury started to scream and beg, Derrick stood stead fast. Derrick knew that world-class the worms would lop the man 's spinal anesthesia cord rendering him ineffective to take the air or fawn away. Then they would take their time consuming each organ of the body saving the heart, lungs, and mind for in conclusion.

As he watched Derrick could see the worms starting to bore toward the organ that they wanted to start feasting on first. Though the man had passed out a few clip he always seemed to pop back up a few minutes later as the drilling increased the pain in a new sphere.

If he remembered right the brain would literally burst forth from the pressure the worms caused in the man 's cranium. Though not that humane of a demise it was quite effective, as the saying went about the dirt ball, once they're in it 's the end. It took another time of day before the man began to scream even louder, and then his unhurt head exploded.

'' I apologize to those citizens that found this to be vile but it was necessary to give some DoJ to all the sept of the millions that this ... thing has caused such peachy painful sensation. '' Derrick told everyone still watching. `` I did not want to be crowned after such a horrific capital punishment but I find
that I must in order to commence bringing order and principle back to the wandflower. Please know that as Emperor I was not felicitous doing this. ''

walk back to the toilet room Derrick sighed this was the in conclusion moment he would have as plain Derrick O'Toma. Advancing upon the throne he stood beside it waiting for Mary to come along.

'' To the citizens of the old commonwealth, I am Mary the law holder and palace security AI. I was empowered by the very first Saturnia pavonia Angelius with the power to crown he who bears all the genetic markers, who has the code and commands the regal fleet such as it is at the instant. The man before me is a man of the people an Saturnia pavonia not that far removed from the 1st emperor. He is the kickoff in over 200 years to display all the qualities. Sire ? Are you set up to adopt the duty as ruler and shielder of conglomerate, and do you at this time reveal who the emperor is with full knowledge that you rule for the masses ? '' Mary stated in an official voice.

'' I do Mary, '' a very nervous Derrick replied.

'' Please forefather transfer the mask and show the imperium the grimace of its new ruler. '' Madonna said as she had to suppress a smiling.

Almost all of the Ranger present gasped when Derrick removed his mask revealing his identity. Derrick smirked as he could hear respective of them whisper that they knew him or get it on of him.

Mary waved her handwriting as a sword and a crown appeared, `` By the power invested in me by the mandates written by the 1st emperor butterfly, '' here she touched each berm with the sword. `` I dub you Emperor O'Toma the kickoff, rule of the astronomical empire. Please grow Emperor O'Toma and receive the peak of the empire. '' With a slim smile Blessed Virgin lowered the tip via mechanical branch upon Derrick 's head. `` Please be seated Sire, '' Mary advised him as she turned toward the all that were watching. `` It is done ! Long live the emperor moth, long live the Empire ! ''

All the fire warden in the elbow room, Hartwell included, bowed, and repeated what Mary had just said. Hartwell advanced and bowed to a now sighing Derrick, `` Sire Ranger statement has advised me to assert allegiance to you as do I and my men, also to recite you that all of the fire warden force is now at your disposal. ''

'' Thank you Rear full admiral Hartwell, I accept yours and your dictation 's gracious offer of fealty. I will do all in my exponent to see that the Empire will be a shining beacon light of freedom from such beasts as the one we executed today. '' Derrick told Hartwell, a little smirk on Derrick 's mouth .
