Return to me.

[Dredge]

Dredge was on Echidna, his current base of operations that he would use to strike out at the galaxy from. The hot and humid jungle planet where his former self had operated from and now where he laid his head down. When people thought of Dredge they thought of this rage filled monster that always felt the desire to kill and crush everything. However while that may of been true when he was out there he wasn't always as such.

When he was alone the Yuuzhan Vong warlord was a damaged and broken individual, he spent his time reading or being alone within his bedroom quarters. In truth Dredge was a sad man who longed to be loved by his family once again, despite how they had cast him down or even killed him he was just a man. But the galaxy saw him as a monster, the people of the Mirrorverse did and the people of this galaxy. So he was going to give them one.

Deep within his private quarters of the stone temple the man stared at his armor that was placed onto a mantle, his sword propped up against it. He looked into the shroud of the helmet and gave a deep sigh before running a hand over its metal surface. But at that moment he sensed something, something that was familiar to him yet almost alien. A presence that he should know but just couldn't place his finger on, it felt dark yet he felt a slight comfort to it. Like the sweet embrace of the void, what was it? He stood up from the mantle and began to extend his senses feeling for what exactly was going on.

The animals ran. Even some of the larger ones fled. The trees shook, and the ground quaked slightly with their passing. And then... Silence.​

​

Vishune had come to expect this with her presence. Dark and tumultuous, a never-ending storm; The life that was smart enough to move made certain that they stayed as far away from her as possible.​

​

Why had she come here? Had it been to feed off of the life here? Perhaps. But as she walked on the surface, it began to feel... different. There was another here... A maw of blackness, as she was. And... Somehow, they were very familiar...​

Exiting his room dressed in full armor the Overlord known simply as Dredge stepped into the hallway following the presence of what seemed so very familiar. With various Yuuzhan Vong and Graug bowing before him as they crossed paths the monster made his way outside into the sunlight of the Echidna. The presence grew stronger and stronger and soon he found himself wandering the jungle looking for it.

"I feel you, whoever you are surrender yourself now or be destroyed." Dredge said in a very deadly voice.

With the massive bastard sword at his side he kept looking and searching for that feeling, for that presence. He needed to find it, it was as if it were a word on the tip of his tongue begging to be said. Where were you? And more importantly what are you? These questions pondered against his brain as he moved through the jungle brush, he needed to find them, and once he did they would have words as to what exactly they were.

 

[Slot 9]

Their presence became stronger and stronger. Her footfalls were silent. It was as if she wasn't even touching the ground. And then, she heard something.​

​

A voice.​

​

But it wasn't just anyone's voice.....​

​

How?​

​

He couldn't be alive. She knew he was dead....​

​

Vishune's chest began to burn with a feeling she hadn't experienced for over four months. She started walking faster. She needed to find the source of the voice. She needed to see...​

As no one responded to him the darkside Nexus that was his sword and armor began to swell and he began to feel it rising in his chest. The feeling was still there, he could sense it and yet it was not there to show itself to him. It was maddening and it drove his rage of simply being in the unknown. With a growl he looked out towards the jungle and took in a deep breath.

ANSWER ME!!! ​

With an augmented below of the force he shouted out into the distance and roared heavily. He had enough of these games and only wished to know what this feeling was, who this feeling was. The force had brought it here to him but he had no intention to wait around and see what was coming. Whatever it was he was going to extend his wrath upon it.

 

[Slot 9]

Vishune came to a halt once more. The force of his voice.... She had missed it.​

​

Dredge...​

​

Her voice came to him through the void of the Force, as it had always done before.​

​

Master... You are here...​

With anger swelling in his heart the dark lord reached out and with a heavy repulse that broke trees and cracked the air, he let out another savage roar. With a deep breath he looked up to see Vishune standing there, his eyes fell upon her beauty and he felt something new, something different yet so familiar. It was like he could see it, the past, the present, and the future all at once.

He stepped forward and kept his eye trained on her, his sword dropped to the ground with a heavy thud and soon he reached out to her. A dark evil form of passion and love laced with hate sprung forth as his hand extended out into the air between them.

"Return to me." He said with a low and steady rumble of his voice.

 

[Slot 9]

The moment her eyes fell upon him, her feet began to move. The Force gave her feet a burst of speed. She was standing before him in mere seconds. Tendrils of smoky energy rippled from her being as her burnt orange eyes fell upon him once more. Her heart was fluttering in her chest as a familiar (but still foreign) feeling rose through her torso.​

​

It had been so very long for her...​

Dredge was taller, he now stood even with the woman at seven feet tall and could now see her eye to eye. Reaching his hand out to her he cupped the side of her face with his palm and gently stroked the side of her cheek with his iron covered thumb. He could see the images of her from his past life, yet there were no words, only pictures to show him that whoever she was there was a connection between them.

With his other hand he reached up and grabbed the helmet that concealed his face and slowly began to remove it. And what lay beneath was not for the faint of heart, what was there was a monster that had known pain both physical and emotional torment.

Black would be the first thing she saw, black flesh that was once a face, and where an eyeball lay was now an empty dark socket filled with black. Rows of razor sharp fangs where a cheek would of been covering them were exposed and it was clear half his face had been removed. His lips mostly still intact along with the left side of his face kept his eye gazing upon her, the helmet dropped to its side and it too fell to the ground so that he could bring his arm around her waste and hold her soft body close to him.

There were no words said to her, only the look of passion upon his tormented face.

 

[Slot 9]

Vishune's cold gaze softened only for him. One hand gently came to rest on the hand that stroked her cheek. The other placed itself on the mangled side of his face. It was very clear that she didn't care how Dredge looked, or how the Galaxy saw him.​

​

She still had yet to understand what she was feeling. She was a broken creature, unsure of the true depth of anything she felt. But there was nothing in her mind that could make her deny that what she was feeling was real.​

​

The silence remained. All she could do was look at him.​

Dredge felt the essence of her hand upon damaged and destroyed nerve endings, the weight of its presence both physical and ethereal as he gazed into her eyes. He didn't even know the woman's name yet this all felt so right, it felt like she was his and even part him belonged to her. A bond that was shared across dimensions of time and space.

It had been so long since he had felt the touch of someone who cared, there had been a Zeltron slave girl he had kissed to see if she truly was there on peaceful purposes, but that wasn't like this. Where that was merely a test this was a dark bond of passion, hatred, and love. His hand turned and grasped hers and brought it down to their sides, interlocking fingers he held her tight to him and nodded only once.

Reaching in his eye closed and his lips met hers in silence. The force flowed as their lips connected and the images came to him. His previous self torturing and turning her, him falling for her and she him. It all fell into place and with it he fed into his lust and emotion, he fed into the darkside as he kissed her with a hunger for passion and power.,

 

[Slot 9]

Vishune returned the kiss, her feelings mirroring his almost perfectly. What a twisted story they had written. The oppressor, taking that which was pure and good and mutilating it into a fractured being of the void. The very same creature, knowing a new kind of light, seeing her oppressor as something more. Something beautiful...​

​

When their lips parted, her forehead came to gently rest against his.​

​

Command me, my Master...​

When their lips were connected Vishune would be able to see this incarnation of Dredge's life. His time spent as a Yuuzhan Vong war chief, his betrayal at the hands of his people, his torture, sacrifice, and then arrival into the timeline. All of was perhaps just to return to her physically, to be one with her. When the kiss broke and their heads touched together his yellow eye looked into hers and paused as she listened to her telepathic thoughts.

"I shall give you only two commands in this life." Dredge said as he placed his right back to her cheek.

His lips met hers again in a soft but quick kiss before he spoke once more.

"Kneel." He commanded of her.

He sensed the power within her, he sensed how he was once her master. And as her master there was unfinished business leftover. It was time, and he would give to her what she craved. Power.

 

[Slot 9]

This Dredge that stood before her was not the one she had known before. And yet, he was. Everything about him, at least to her, was the same.​

​

She slowly took a knee, bowing her head to him and silently waiting for his bidding.​

With her kneeling at her feet the Sith Lord brushed his hand against her cheek as he looked down at her. Tipped her head so she would stare at the ground where his feet were planted. Reaching his hand he placed it on the crown of her head and would begin.

Power surged forth from the dark side nexus that was his armor and sword, pure raw and uncut darkside energy would pour into the woman's body. A small piece of his own essence, his soul, a little bit of Dredge mixed in with the massive amounts of dark power he bestowed upon her.

The process would be agonizing. Fear, anger, rage, malice, avarice, lust, and hopelessness would flood into her in crashing waves. This continued for a moment before his hand fell from her head.

"Now rise. Rise as Sith Knight Vishune, beautiful destroyer." Dredge said with a stone even voice.

 

[Slot 9]

Her body would shake slightly as the surge of energy came forth from Dredge. The pain was.... wonderful.... ​

​

Before she rose to her feet, her head slowly tilted upward. Her eyes met his again. The corners of her mouth very, very slowly pulled upward. The revealed slightly sharpened teeth.​

​

Vishune's smile was more than a little bit terrifying. She stood up and became eye-level with him once more.​

​

When the woman rose and grinned a toothy fang filled smile, Dredge did the same with the remnants of his face. She was a knight of the Sith now and that was cause for celebration.

There were no words at this time, simply a flash of movement and Dredge pinning the woman against the side of a damaged tree. His lips met her neck and his teeth upon her skin. Reaching out with the force his breast plate unclasped and he threw it to the ground as hunger took over. A savage need of the dark side to fight, to screw, and to destroy.

Reaching low his hand grasped at the cloth mesh around her waist and his claw tore into it ripping the fabric. She was beautiful and he would have the newly minted knight, their dark forces would become one in a flurry of fangs, passion, and lust.

(And I think that's a good spot to fade to black and pick up tomorrow maybe. I'm exhausted lol so Imma hit the hay.)

*******************************​

​

Two storms had violently become one. It had been so violent, in fact, that it had left nothing but piles of debris around them. The two of them lay in a small crater in the center of the destruction. The dark angel's head rested against Dredge's chest, her body entwined with his on one side. She was covered with a considerable amount of bites, cuts and bruises. But then again, so was he...​

Dredge lay there next to the fallen diathim and held her close to him, it was a feeling he hadn't had since before his fall from power. Since before his people had forsaken him and placed him upon that god forsaken stone alter. Part of him hated feeling it once more, caring about something and being emotionally compromised. But the other part made him feel again, it made him want and desire to make her happy.

"We should return to the temple, there is much to do." Dredge said in his deep tone.

Leaning over he gave the woman a kiss on her forehead then stood up. Taking his hand he reached out with the force and called his armor back to him letting it form around his body. The dark side pulsed and oozed out from his being before he let out a relaxed sigh of comfort being back in his shell. Looking off towards the temple in the short distance then looked back to his dark love and waited for her.
