Darth Caine walked around the control room in wonder. It was
exciting to
him to learn about the gateways to other worlds. He wanted to learn
as much
as he could about it. The Kromagg scientists and other officers
wanted to
keep him happy. If it's possible to keep a Sith happy.
They allowed him
complete access to there facilities.
"Do you have a archive of worlds you've conquered?" He asked.
"Why yes, and worlds we haven't, we have researched many worlds."
The
Kromagg told him. Darth Caine smiled with satisfaction
"Would you permit me to check out some of these worlds, before we
find my
counter part that is, you know, as a way to keep myself from getting
bored."
He asked. The scientist looked around at each other.
They then looked to
there superiors. Needless to say Darth Caine's request was
granted.
A day or so past as he researched each world, and finally he found
one he
would enjoy exploring. He was looking for a warm up challenge
before facing
the Jedi. And he had found a world that suited him just fine,
to start off
with.
A little while later.
He found himself in a bar and it was the most likely hang out for
who he
was looking for. He mingled and flirted with the females doing
what ever he
could do to attract attention to himself. And finally after
an hour or so
of his game things finally paid off. It was a scrawny gawky
young man
somewhere in his twenties that first approached him. He was
thin had medium
length red hair and glasses. There wasn't much to look at.
" Get out!" He said to the Sith. Darth Caine grinned at the
young man.
The young man held up his right hand and revealed a pentagram symbol.
Darth
Caine paid no attention to him. Suddenly everyone in the bar
was silent. "
Fool, now you'll pay!" He threatened. Darth Caine looked him
right in the
eye and grinned.
" If you think you can, then do it, other wise blow off." He taunted
him.
The young man reached out to touch Darth Caine's face. Quickly
he grabbed
him by the wrist and began to squeeze. " You know I've heard
of you dream
master's and I must say I expected more from you." He teased.
The dream
master was powerless against him. "Look at you, all I have
to do is hold
right there and you're my bitch." He continued his iron like
grip. The
dream master was grunting in pain. " So much for being tough."
He then let
him go. The dream master fell to the floor and held his swelling
wrist.
"You'll pay for that!" He threatened. All those who watched
on cheered on
Darth Caine, but they were sure to keep it to themselves.
But the Sith
knew, he felt it. " My friends and I will get you, I swear
it."
"Shouldn't swear, it's not polite." Darth Caine laughed. The dream
master
got to his feet and ran out of the bar. " Bar tender, I'll
have another,
what was it you called it a...Sex on the beach!" He said joyfully.
The
people remain silent all but one.
"Now you did it, their going to get us all now, just for being here!"
The
young man from the other side of the bar nervously said. Darth
Caine
slammed down his drink and smiled with satisfaction from it.
"Now that's good!" He said. " If you're scared you can go hide in
the
corner." He said to the young man. " As for the rest of you.
Want to see
some free entertainment?" he asked Most of the people fled,
but some
stayed. They didn't know why, but they knew something wonderful
was about
to happen. After only five more minutes of silence the remaining
people
began to unwind a bit. Once again people where going about
their business.
For an evil, dark and miserable person Darth Caine was having a
very good
time.
An hour had past before the all the dream master showed up.
They came
walking in together ready to teach the mysterious man the lesson
of a
lifetime. They were wearing their fancy suits and all looked
picture
perfect. It was twenty or so guys that got up to Darth Caine.
He turned
around from his barstool and looked around at them. He was more
than
slightly amused, he was excited at his out come. The gawky
red head stood
in the back hiding among his allies.
"You have disgraced one of my own, and now I shall punish you."
The dream
master leader said. The gawky red head and the rest of the
masters
chuckled. "Would you like to beg for your life first?
I might consider
only crippling you." He threatened.
"Yak, yak, yak...do all you guys talk so much shit!" Darth Caine
said as he
jumped to his feet. " Yawn!" He said as he shoved the leader.
The leader
stumbled back into the hands of his minions. " Tell me, do
you like games?"
He asked.
"Yes, I do." He answered. Darth Caine smiled.
"Ever play mercy?"
"What?" He asked.
"Mercy, have you ever played it?" He asked again. The leader
looked back
to the viewing minions. They all were smiling at the challenge.
He nodded
a yes. "Very well, the stakes are my life verses the right
hands of you and
all your men. " He said.
"Pardon me?" He asked.
"If you win you can kill me, if I win I'm taking that which makes
you
powerful." He explained
"I except your challenge." The leader said. Darth Caine held
up his right
hand. The leader did the same. " I'm going to kill you."
He said coolly.
Darth Caine just shrugged him off, kind of a whatever. Both
men locked
hands together. Instantly the powers of the dream master were
going to work
on Darth Caine. He flinched for all but a second. The
force was far
greater than his power. For a short while Darth Caine teased
him. Then
started to put real pressure on it. The leader was shocked
at his
resistance to him. Suddenly he began to scream in pain and
agony. Fear
started to arise in the others. Their master was loosing,
it wasn't even a
good fight.
"Mercy! Mercy!" He cried out. All the people cheered with
excitement. The
master was defeated and now a broken man past out on the floor.
The rest of
the dream master went running for the door. Darth Caine grinned
with
satisfaction. He went leaping into the air flipping around
and landed right
in front of the doors.
"Leaving so soon?" He asked. Fade out...
Slowly the eyes of the dream master leader opened. He found
himself laying
in the comforts of his own bed. Was it all a dream he wondered.
Was his
job getting to him. Perhaps it was a side effect of all his
chaos he has
inflicted on to others. He rubbed his head with both hands.
Then looked
deeply at the pentagram on his right hand. Wiggling his fingers
with relief
he smiled. A new day was apon him, a fresh start. He
got to his feet and
then put on his robe. He would spend this day relaxing.
He walked downstairs of his glorious mansion and in to his kitchen.
He
poured himself a glass of cooled milk and then walked in to dinning
room.
On the table was a large box gift-wrapped. Curiously he approached
it.
Slowly he unwrapped the box. The shreds of paper fell to the
floor. He
then opened the box. Letting out a fearful scream he turned
and held his
hand over his mouth and tried not to vomit.
"Good god!" He shouted. He then turned and looked into the
box again, to
make he was not hallucinating. To his horror was the severed
hand's of all
his follower's. It wasn't a dream, last night really happened.
" Oh god,
oh god, oh god." He repeated.
"Thought I'd leave without saying goodbye?" The sinister voice asked
from
the far corner of the room. The dream master looked up and
there standing
before him was non-other then Darth Caine. He grinned evilly
at the
frightened dream master. He had come to claim what was his.
"NO!" He shouted. With the flick of a button the long red
blade of the
light saber extended. We now fade out as the screaming
begins...
