The World is Yours

[Dredge]

Sitting in his throne room on the planet echidna Dredge was enjoying a bit of relaxing time to himself, well himself and the hundreds of other guards and people that filled the room. Truth be told he was rather bored and wished he could be back out on the front lines cutting the galaxy to pieces. But there were times where you had to just do what you had to do in order to keep your empire running smoothly. Whether it be signing papers on a new power plant or having a few dissidents executed for their treason. It couldn't be burn and kill twenty four seven.

"Yes yes that's fine, see to it the droid breakers are given the scraps from the last droid army that was destroyed. They need to be fed anyway." Sighing dredge saw guest after guest advisor after advisor until something happened. A loud bang was heard and a young Yuuzhan Vong warrior came out from the halls running up before dredge. Falling to his hands and knees he begged for forgiveness then spoke. "MY LORD!!" He said between heavy breaths. Giving him a chance to catch his breath and rest dredge let him speak "My lord! A gift from the gods! Our scout ships! They have located a world ship! They say it still might be alive, what shall we do my lord!?" World ships had not been seen in this galaxy in hundreds of years, not since the Great War they had been thought to be extinct. But a living breathing ship here in this galaxy this was something he could not pass up on at all.

"Incubus follow me." He said to his thrall that had been assigned to guard him. Wherever dredge went his thrall followed the massive beast had its uses and this was one of them. Being tossed a comm unit dredge sneered at the piece of tech then phoned his lord commander. "Lord Commander Break, I wound hate to tear you from your wife but scramble five artillery frigates we need to check something out. Do it now please." He said as he walked down the steps to get ready for the journey onwards. "You there! Send word to our most senior Yammosk that we might have found a world ship. Get him to the fleet we have being scrambled lets go people!" He barked out as the worker caste ran off to find the giant brain to give him the news

Dagon did not like the jar.
Small, and tight, and dead.
Dead like the tomb he had spent so long within.

He had been promised a home though.
New and whole and full of life.
Soon he would be a part of many.
Soon he would have many parts.

Soon... Soon he would be whole again.


But for now...

For now Dagon searched the minds of those that tended himself and the Jar.
They felt. They thought. They remembered.
Dagon explored them all.

They were a part of him.
They were his.
He explored them.
They trembled at his touch.






Someone approached the Jar...

"Whaaaaaat?" Demanded Dagon, flesh of Yun-Yammka.

 

[Pyramid Head]

Incubus didn't have to keep up, his leg span aloud him to easily walk behind the Lord, apparently something important, a world ship was found. "My Lord, a world ship?" He asked, to be a better servant he needed to know details of what he was needed for, and what he served for. As far as anything was concerned, the giant Sith spawn probably wouldn't understand the significance, but least have the knowledge. @[member="Supreme Overlord Dredge"] @[member="Dagon"] @[member="Break"]

 

[Break]

Break looked over his wife one last time before he left. She lay asleep in their bed as he walked out the door and into his ship touching his Comm he contacted his droid

"Ready five frigates for the Supreme Overlord, Rock. I shall arrive shortly to help."
He left the droid to do its task he set it to do. He flew to the Hangar and landed his smaller scout ship ready to prepare the ships for war should that be the desired goal. Guessing from who asked this of him it wasnt a bad guess. but still Break had no clue what they were needed for.
He hurried as each were prepped and readied for takeoff the Droids and Vong he commanded worked in harmony to please the gods and their leaders wishes.

"My @[member="Supreme Overlord Dredge"] , all ships are close to being prepared. On your leave they shall be ready."

 

[Dredge]

The worker caste bowed before the creature and began to speak quickly in fear of what the beast could do to him. "My lord, a world ship has been spotted here in wild space. We need you to come with us so we can control it. Initial reports say that it's still alive. Please let us move you to the fleet that is being assembled." Bowing before the Yammosk the worker caste quickly gave him the news as others came into the room with them to help move the giant beast. They needed to hurry and get there to confirm this was all happening. If they could find it and use it then truly they could be unstoppable. "Shall we begin my lord?" The worker said humbly
@[member="Dagon"]

Walking through the throne room and outside into the hot jungle air dredge let the breeze hit him and his thrall as they began to walk to the hanger. "Think of a space station Incubus, think of a giant living space station with feeling and emotion. The World ships are giant ships bigger than star destroyers that can destroy and create life as we know it. Not only the asset of having a world ship would be great but the secrets hidden on it could change everything we know!" Walking quickly he got on his comm unit and hailed break "Excellent Lord Commader, get the first four ships in orbit we will board the last lets go there is not much time." Dredge was in a rush at this point and he needed to find out if this was true
@[member="Break"] @[member="Incubus"]

 

[Break]

Break Hailed over one of the many Vong under his control, it gave him a snide look however that was of little importance, Break outranked him and furthermore could crush its skull like nothing should he feel any sort of disobedience. "Fill the ships with collector droids and head off ahead of us. The @[member="Supreme Overlord Dredge"] shall be riding along behind you. Do not fail me or i shall see to it you feed the acklay..."
He hurried the worker class along. this was unlike Break as he didnt enjoy talking like that. but he still hadto assert dominance over them or they would never respect him as Lord Commander. He watched as the new collector droids were rolled out onto the platforms their metal still shining. He liked their design, learn, hunt, defend. Very much like his own.

"Ships are setting off, shall i prepare a drink for you my lord?"

 

[Olivia Dem'adas]

The will of Yun-Yammka was silent for a moment. Soon, green liquid churned and tentacles trailed paths across the glass that contained the massive war biot.

"Now. Move Dagon now." Commanded the creature.

Dagon could barely contain his eagerness to once again rest within the sacred hollows of a coral home.

How he longed to once again be one with a thousand parts.

To control and unite all the flesh.

The young ones.

The shaped ones.

The mighty ones.

Dagon yearned for such sensations once again.

"You will be a part of Dagon." Reverberated the thoughts of the Yammosk in the mind of the worker before dozens of massive tentacles extended from over the lip of the glass container and pulled the Thrall into the liquid that contained Dagon.

Soon....

Soon Dagon would have many parts once again.

 

[Pyramid Head]

Nope, emotions, feelings didn't understand these things, as they continued their way through, everyone was scurring about getting everything prepared. Incubus just did what he did, follow @[member="Supreme Overlord Dredge"]

 

[Dredge]

Screaming the worker caste came into the tank and quickly became one with the Yammosk. The others watched in silence as his brother became one with the gods. He was dead like really dead. "Yes my lord!" As the team of worker caste moved a ramp lowered to reveal the sunlight into the room. Quickly a few riding beasts were summoned and attached to the massive tank. Securing the lines the beasts pulled the tank out and into the light and made their trek to the hanger where the frigates could be seen taking off. "My lord, the world ship is rumored to not be of this galaxy. What if it's a gift from the gods from our home?" As young caste asked the brain as they entered the hanger. Inside the massive frigate could be seen and dredge was on his way. The Yammosk could see the droid bark orders and organize troops.

As dredge walked with his thrall he entered the room and quickly ran up to meet his commander and Yammosk. " it's good to see the both of you. I will give you the run down. A world ship has been spotted by scout ships and we need to move to secure it before wild space claims it. Lord Commander, load up into the ship and prepare the holomap. We need to plot a course there immediately. Incubus see to it that you prepare our troops on board if there is anything hostile on that holy site I want it purged without hurting our ship." Looking to the Yammosk he smiled at his fellow Yuuzhan Vong creature "you will be commanding it from the inside. So if you need anything let me know." Breaking the huddle dredge walked up the ramp to the frigate to get things started @[member="Break"] @[member="Dagon"] @[member="Incubus"]

 

[Break]

Break nodded and walked to the first holy ship. walking directly to the holomap and syncing a route to safely navigate to the ship. this is what he was good at computations, purging and...god he just wanted to practice with someone....wait what? he shook off the silly thought of fencing someone for fun as he continued with his duty. "My @[member="Supreme Overlord Dredge"] the route is set up and on the navigation deck We will await your briefing here.

he looked at his navigation droids. Made by his two hands....

<Cmon sis! you promised you would play with me today...>

What was that? a child on the ship?

"Droid J7! make sure none of the children have stowed away on this ship."

"yes lord commander"

 

[Olivia Dem'adas]

Dagon swirled in his tank as sunlight assaulted his flesh.
The light did not hurt Dagon...
It was simply...
Not a familiar sensation.

Dagon swirled and condensed himself into the center of the tank as he was moved towards the ships.
Wanting to get out of the sunlight as soon as possible, Dagon's eyes glowed and the beasts of burden moved with unnatural speed and purpose.

Hearing the words of the young ones, Dagon's voice echoed through their minds. "Every world ship is a blessing from the gods. That we would be granted a second chance at such a home is testament to our role in the will of the gods."

Dagon's eyes glowed brilliantly as his voice tore through the consciousness of the Thralls and other organics near him.

If the young ones were correct...
If a world ship had been found...

Then destruction was truly the will of the gods.

Dagon's eyes settled themselves on the technology-enveloped creature that neared the ships with young ones.

"What is the abomination doing among you?"
@[member="Supreme Overlord Dredge"], @[member="Break"],

 

[Break]

Break looked at the large vat of liquid holding a large mass of what looked like grey matter sporting 2 red eyes
@[member="Dagon"] ... something he despised more than boredom was tyranny and this little organism embodied tyranny in all forms.
However knowing Vong culture Break kept his mouth shut as he continued calculations.

 

[Pyramid Head]

Walking away after giving the order, he stepped back unto the hatch of the frigate. Picking up a metal rod, he began banging with one hand, the rod against the support beams, a call for the soldiers to saddle. This would be easier if he could talk, but no, the Lord forgot that part he guessed.

Vongs of all kinds began rushing into the shit, he stayed there till the last was on. "My Lord, our troops are on." He walked back into the ship as the hatch closed. @[member="Supreme Overlord Dredge"]

 

[Dredge]

"He serves his part on the blessed path Dagon, and I owe him my life. Treat him with respect." He said to the Yammosk entering the frigate as he did so. In truth dredge did hate what break was on the inside, wretched techology. But he knew he once had a soul and maybe he still had it. But he did play his part on the path to divinity. As dredge loaded up with the rest of his men the Yammosk's tank was shoved up the loading ramp and secured in the cargo hold. Setting up comm system by his tank so he could communicate with the other commanders the Yammosk would be able to talk still. Now they needed to get out of dodge and head to the site where the ship was spotted.

Walking up to the command bridge Dredge smeared at the tech around him but he was slowly getting over it. "Lift off now!" Ordering his crew the frigate fired up and lifted into the air and began to exit the atmosphere out into space to catch up with the other ships in orbit. Standing on the bridge he walked over to the command table as the fleet made the jump to hyper space. "Lord Break, you are to commence scanning once we arrive and check for external damage. Once you are done you are to link up with Incubus who will be leading the first team inside. Once secure Dagon will come in to take control of the world ship. Do we all understand our parts?" He asked his commanders wanting to quickly move on from this and secure his gift from the gods @[member="Break"] @Imcubus @[member="Dagon"]

 

[Olivia Dem'adas]

Dagon curled his tentacles up closer to the bulk of his body and glared at the technology that surrounded him.

Abominations. All of it.

He hated it.

Had it not been for the knowledge Dagon siphoned from those around him, the Yammosk would have destroyed all technology in sight.

But Dagon understood the need Lord Dredge had for the technology.

Dagon understood how much it pained the Overlord to use the vile constructs.

Dagon knew how badly the Overlord desired true ships and weapons.

Dagon understood how much a World Ship would mean to Overlord Dredge.

It meant almost as much to the overlord as it did to Dagon.

For Dagon it was home. For Dredge it was hope.

Dagon knew this much.

So Dagon waited patiently.

Dagon refrained from destroying the technology.

Dagon waited to have a home once again.

 

[Break]

Break nodded not fully comprehending at the moment, he would have to play the orders back later so he could understand...
What in the hell was going on?

<When I grow up I wanna be a hero just like you!>


"What?!" Break looked around questioning if something was amiss. he looked quite out of sorts as the droid was usually the picture of calm cool and collected.

@[member="Supreme Overlord Dredge"] @[member="Incubus"] @[member="Dagon"]

 

[Pyramid Head]

Walking up finally from his way from the hatch, he stood near the tank, watching the brain, some how, it could talk to him, and possibly he back. "My Lord, what am I to expect inside this living shit?" He asked still watching Dagon.

The brain was different, nothing could have prepared him for a giant, talking brain. @[member="Supreme Overlord Dredge"] @[member="Dagon"] @[member="Break"]

 

[Dredge]

As the fleet traveled through hyper space the blue lines darted and danced outside of the window, it was always a peaceful sight to see but there wasn't time to enjoy the little things in life. They were closing in on the location and they would be there within the hour. Walking over to his chair dredge sat back and sighed. Pressing the button that allowed him to speak to the fleet he pressed it and had himself broadcasted. "I will have you know just how important this world ship is to us. It contains the secrets of our race that have been forgotten. Perhaps it is a ship from our home galaxy. Whatever it is, I will have you know if any one hurts our world ship I will have them flayed in front of their family. That is all." Sitting back dredge closed his eyes and readied himself for a bit of down time

ONE HOUR LATER

Coming out of hyper space the fleet blew out and around what looked to be a pitch black sector of space. There was nothing here, just the blackness of space with a ocean of stars that light it up. Bellow them there was one object, it was true. The world ship in all of its beauty. The key to their survival and culture for the Vong. Quickly scurrying from his chair he acted at once. "LORD COMMANDER SCAN FOR DAMAGES NOW!!! INCUBUS READY YOUR TEAMS AND DROP AND BOARD AT ONCE!!" With orders being given out dredge wanted to secure the blessed gift at once. It was truly a sign from the gods that they were favored right now. @[member="Dagon"] @[member="Break"] @[member="Incubus"]

 

[Break]

Break was startled from the @[member="Supreme Overlord Dredge"] tone he immediately began the scan without a moment hesitation he worked quickly to ensure the maximum survival rate

"External damage: minimal
Internal: Minimal
Current activity:None

"everything looks good from...

<I dont wanna sit around anymore! WE HAVE TO FIGHT GEMMA!>

"Gemma???" this time he said it out loud his droids looking at him. Break looked sternly back at them

"C-continue as ordered!" he paced his way to his quarters.

"My lord.... i think i need to run a systems check. Please mark me on standby."

[Pyramid Head]

Incubus went to work, tapping four of the biggest vongs as we on by his way to the ships. They all knew this ment follow, and none were as tall as he. Their armor was spikey, and bulkier, so they did seem bigger. As the five reached the ships another team was waiting as back up. A pilot had the ship already started, and they all entered. "My Lord, we are off." He spoke as he tapped the pilot. Lifting off, and out, the giant ship was in view.

It truly looked living, giving him this TINGLE UP HIS SPINE. Strange, that had never happened before, or had it? Back to matters he thought. "My Lord she is amazing." He said to dredge.
