Requiem of a Overlord

[Dredge]

Yuuzhan'tar Horde Space

3 weeks after the death of Supreme Overlord Dredge by [member="Rasu Gan"] on Aurum

Yuuzhan'tar a place Dredge always wanted to see before he died. Sadly that never happened. The mad overlord had his funeral and was buried here on this world away from technology he hated so. A place where he could finally rest and be one with the gods above. That's what he would of wanted, but fate. Fate had another calling card for him, but with all things. That would be addressed later. The Dark Lord of the Sith [member="Darth Vornskr"] was invited to the funeral that took place yesterday but he was invited for something more than just a burial. In the giant fleshy buildings of the Yuuzhan Vong a group of warriors were sent to find the dark lord and bring him to the sub levels of the main palace on the planet. The horde had been thrown in disarray when the overlord died and now it was time to reclaim the throne. Walking through the halls the pack of Vong made it to Kaine's room where he had been given to stay over the course of the Yuuzhan Vong's funerals and ceremonies.

Knocking on the living door the Vong dressed in their black clad armor awaited to see if the dark lord would answer the call. He was sort of kind of a friend of Dredge and his services were needed for something that had been planned after Dredge's death. "Lord Vornskr, your shuttle is prepped to leave but before you go we must ask that you come with us. The Supreme Overlord would of wanted you to see it." The Vong said hoping the man would honor Dredge's final request. Not that he owed him anything after all there was all the free food and drink a dark lord could have at the reception after the funeral.

Vornskr quickly rose to answer the beckoning at his chamber's door, and opened it to find a pair of Vong encased in their iconic living armor. The Sith Lord was skeptical at what the Vong wanted of him, but he would not turn these allies into enemies by disrespecting or slighting them in the wake of their Overlord's demise. "Very well. Lead the way." Vornskr turned back to clip his lightsaber to his belt, something he always brought with him when traveling, even if it was friendly space. Other than his lightsaber he wore a set of black boiled leather under a cloak of black cloth that covered his entire body. His hood was pulled back, leaving his mane of black-gray hair to billow freely when he walked, and his features remained hard and cruel as always. Vornskr stood above the Yuuzhan Vong by a good few inches, the advantages of being a pureblood Epicanthix.

Despite the Sith Lord not owing the Supreme Overlord any favors, he felt compelled to follow the Vong into the bowels of their fortress. It all had the stink of destiny about it and what not, and if Isolda had taught Vornskr anything, then the whims of the galaxy always had something special in store for those worthy enough. It would be unwise to scorn such an opportunity.

"There is a nation to the west known as the Omega Protectorate. They are weak" a voice was heard shrouded in static and fuzz as if it were a a radio coming out of a coffee can. "And what of you?! A Sith Lord with a crumbling empire!" The static kicked up again but to the Vong they could not hear it. They continued to walk down the bowls of the building on the stairs holding a bug to illuminate their path through the dark corridors of the massive palace. "Travel well my child, you will be one with the gods." The static kept ringing almost as if memories of the first time dredge met kaine were playing on a tape. But still the Yuuzhan Vong heard nothing.

"We hope your stay has been comfortable Lord Vornskr." One of the Vong warriors said to Kaine. "Our Overlord included you in his will such a thing like this were to happen. We are taking you to collect your things that he wished you to have." The warrior continued to speak as they drew closer and closer to their destination but his voice began to draw out as the static returned "TOGETHER WE SHALL HAVE OUR HOLY WAR!!" The static screeched and cried like a falcon to the sounds of screams and cheering went in to the dark lord. Things were certainly getting interesting

 

[Darth Carnifex]

It was like stepping back in time. He could envision it now, a much younger Kaine standing among a host of Yuuzhan Vong on the backwater world they had taken refuge on. His face was yet scarred forever by the Dark Side, but there were the signs, there was always the signs of the horrors to come written plainly across his face. Dredge was there too, mighty and bestial atop his throne, his thralls gathered around him like dogs. The movements of Dredge's mouth matched up perfectly with the voice that now materialized around the present day Kaine, but was it all the byproduct of nostalgia, or was it the remnants of the past come back to spin a tale of destiny yet to come?

The past-Kaine tore off his mechanical arm, the temporary replacement that had been used after Tahira Solo severed his left arm right at the elbow, and cast it down at the feet of the Overlord. Dredge laughed, and in return he tore the arm off of one of his servants in a eerily similar fashion. The Vong's severed arm was fused with Kaine's cauterized stump, a wicked fusion of Vong biotechnology and the Force adhering these two fleshes together in perverted union. That was a joyous day for Kaine, the moment where he became whole once again, and together he and Dredge planned for endless war. Things had changed so differently from how the younger self envisioned them, the Republic was triumphant against the Empire, and himself cast down from his black throne.

They would still have their revenge, it was just a matter of time.

"My stay has been comfortable, it is good to be among allies in these trying times." Kaine had no idea what Dredge had left him in death, but he was anxious to find out.

"Bring me the arm." The voice said again to kaine becoming more and more clear with the group finally hitting the basement level. Those were days long past and now the high prophet dead and gone. But yet his words lingered in Kaine's ears as if he were still there trying to get out. "Today we return to the galaxy! Today we take our first steps back into the light so we may snuff it out!" Approaching a door the Yuuzhan Vong opened it and they walked Into a room filled with all kinds of devious Yuuzhan Vong devices. "The overlord knew how much you appreciated the finer things in life so he is leaving to this." Walking over to the a small case the Yuuzhan Vong looked over to kaine and kneeled down bellow him holding out something of great respect.

"The scepter of power." Holding it out the Vong bowed their heads and held the massive serpant out to kaine. It was much bigger than other Amphistaffs and deadlier too. The venom more potent and the staff itself bigger capable of doing massive damage on the battlefield. Carved with sith and Yuuzhan Vong markings the warriors awaited the dark lord to see if he would like his gift. This was the scepter that the Every Supreme Overlord before Dredge had held and carried into battle. This was the gift that was left behind for him.

"It's yours lord Vornskr. Do our lord justice with it." The Vong looked down and although he may not agree with this move it was what the overlord wanted.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Kaine reached out his hand to grip the massive amphistaff in his hand, letting the serpent coil around his left arm. He gazed down into the beast's eyes, feeling the connection growing between them quickly. This being was a true Dark Sider's companion, and he would honor the Supreme Overlord's last wishes, and utilize this gift to it's full potential against his enemies. "It is a glorious gift, indeed. I will uphold this gift, and avenge Dredge's death by destroying all who oppose the Sith and the Horde. This I pledge." He fully intended to use this against the Jedi, as it was a glorious weapon that would catch his enemies off-guard, especially that wench, Kiskla Grayson. She had shamed him by staying alive after their last bout, but next time would be so very different.

He would remain in that chamber after the guards had left, a strange sensation of being watched keeping him glued to the spot. "Who else visits a Lord of the Sith?"

""Thank you, we must leave now. You must stay." The smaller Yuuzhan Vong warriors left the room quickly scurrying out. Orders were that they were to leave the room and get ready for what was to come. A few moments passed as the serpent curled around the dark lords arm. Hissing and remaining calm the force dead staff took the dark lord as it's new master. But soon the serpent began to hiss and scream out its enlarged mouth. "Hell- Kain-" the distorted voice returned to kaine but this time there was a fractured image of a force ghost standing behind him.

"I need you- help in or-" the blue ghost cut out and vanished Into thin air. Soon the room began to hiss and move slightly revealing it's true nature to the dark lord. With the walls shifting like a labyrinth the forward low bearing wall moved to show a room filled with Yuuzhan Vong shapers focusing all their powers and shaping skills on a single clouded womb. Now appearing in front of him Dredge's fractured force ghost didn't say a word he only pointed to the womb and vanished into the vale once more.

There was something more here than just the gift of an amphistaff. Looking over to kaine the shapers awaited his arrival keeping their focus on the womb.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Oh boy, more ghosts.

Let me elaborate. Kaine, over the course of recent years, has been plagued by numerous ghosts all connected to him in one way or another. The first specter that had visited him was the phantom of the Sith Lord, Karin Dorn, whom he had slaughtered in single combat when he was but a Sith Knight. She had been bound to his castle, the place of her death, and had haunted the Sith for months before he had managed to bind her into a physical form with the help of Circe Savan. That form of her met it's end at the hands of Daella Apparine and Diana Moridena, but she was reborn agains thanks to the Dark Lord of the One Sith sometime later. Kaine eventually ended her life once and for all on Thule, defeating her in one-on-one combat before torturing her and eventually decapitating her.

The other ghost that had haunted Kaine was the ghost of Darth Voracitos, one of the former Sith Emperors of the Old Empire. He came to Kaine when he was at his lowest, bound and gagged on a Republic prison transport en route to Coruscant to face judgement for his numerous war crimes. The former Emperor attempted to guile Kaine into his service, but Kaine denied him at every turn and remained hostile to the ghost constantly. It was funny now, rumors had it that Voracitos was now in the thrall of the Mandalorians, and Kaine was a free man ruling a Kingdom of proud warriors far from them. What an absolute joke Voracitos turned out to be, his hollow words didn't affect Kaine then, and they didn't affect him now.

Kaine did not answer the ghost of Dredge, but rather continued on into the room where the Shapers worked tirelessly on some unseen being hidden away within the organic womb. Obviously there was something greater other than a simple will gift going on here, but the pieces of it were clicking together in Kaine's mind. However; he would stand aside and wait to see the fruits of these Shaper's work.

Dredge's ghost reappeared by the womb buzzing and filled with static it stared at Kaine before glitching out into nothing once more. The shaping teams continued to work tirelessly until they were finally done. Then at that moment Kaine could feel it, he could feel the power radiating from the tank. It was raw, evil, uncontrolled and it reeked of the dark side of the force. But yet it felt familiar to him. As if he was feeling a more wild version of himself. There was another reason why they brought kaine here. A reason far more sinister for the horde. Remaining silent the Yuuzhan Vong bowed their heads and began to chant slowly in a line of ten shapers on both sides of the womb creating a path for Vornskr to the tank.

Dredge's ghost appeared once more in front of the tank still fractured and a bit distorted, but his voice was clear this time. It rang in Kaine's ears as the chanting intensified and the Yuuzhan Vong became louder and louder. "Put me inside it." The late overlord said as his ghost simply stood there still distorted and glitch as ever. Dredge wanted to be reborn. There was one problem however, force dead creatures like the Yuuzhan Vong could become force sensitive by adding Yammosk tissue to their brains. But the connection was weak in dredge and he could not force himself into the shadowed body inside the womb by himself. A powerful Sith Lord was needed for that.

"The Holy War beings now." The ghost of Dredge stood there awaiting Kaine's help he couldn't hold the physical form for much longer so this would need to be quick.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

"And it shall begin as all things begin, my friend."

Kaine pulled both hands close to his chest, power surging through his very being as electricity began to materialize at his finger tips. With a great show of hand motions and low growling, he flung the lightning directly at Dredge's spirit, ensnaring it with his tendrils of electricity. The stink of ozone became unbearable in the chamber as Kaine now manipulated the tendrils of raw electricity, and with a great heave he plunged Dredge's spirit into the organic womb. The electricity ran across the surface of the womb, frying the organic surface of it and causing the transparent sack to burst open. A great flood of water gushed forth as the sack gave way, running over Kaine's boots and those of the Yuuzhan Vong Shapes next to him, but he hardly noticed. His eyes were transfixed on the creature that tumbled out.

"With a birth."

The creature fell from the burnt womb covered in embryotic fluids from the now destroyed womb, it lay there lifeless for a moment before it began to move. A hand extended outward, soft and feminine it reached out and grabbed the ground around it. "This form, it will take some getting used to." A deep female voice came from her, the nude female form beginning to shift forward slowly rising as if it were a baby bantha learning to walk for the first time. On wobbling legs the nude woman stood in front of kaine at a staggering six feet and three inches tall. Not as tall as him but it was clearly seen that she too was an Epicanthix of pure blood just like him. In fact the presence in the force felt like him. Exactly like him.

Pushing back her long raven hair from her eyes she smiled at Kaine with a very toothy grin. "I must say Kaine, you have very wonderful DNA. My shapers did wonders with it." Stepping forward she eyed kaine while her shapers stood there quietly silently rejoicing over the return of their overlord. "I feel it now, so much more clearly. I feel the power that you possessed at such an age. I feel it all!" The woman laughed evilly then looked over to his team of shapers waving her hand.

At once the shapers nodded fell to their knees as a sickening crack could be heard from their mouths. And one by one each of them fell over dear foaming from the mouth and convulsing on the ground dying quickly and proudly in their last moments. "How do you look?" The naked girl with the raven hair continued to grin at kaine.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Kaine slightly glared at the woman writhing on the floor in front of him, himself not moving an inch to offer her any help or support. If she couldn't get to her feet by herself, then what was the point? The striking similarity in appearance and in the Force was all too disturbing, and it was as if he was looking at a complete female version of himself. His suspicions were validated when she spoke about his DNA being the building blocks for this body, no doubt now inhabited by Dredge. Normally he would be outraged by having his DNA be used in the resurrection of another, but he himself was preparing to transfer his essence into a completely new body after his inevitable demise, so he was oddly placid as the she-Kaine murdered the Shapes with her newfound telekinetic abilities.

"Welcome back to the land of the living, Dredge. Although, I think that name is outdated, what should I call you now?"

[member="Darth Vornskr"]
Standing there she thought for a moment, Dredge was not his birth name for the Yuuzhan Vong it was always just a nick name given to him by others. In truth his name was Dib Rapuung. The name never caught and really it was something that he didn't really like saying. So he would pay homage to his name of old and start fresh now. After all this body was rather nice and he could feel its power and he would learn how to harness it to his full capability.

"Dibella, call me Dibella." She said looking at kaine. "Let us be off shall we? This place will start to smell soon." Taking a step forward Dibella's womanly formed showed in full from her walk down the aisle to lead to the door. They had to leave this place and begin anew

 

[Darth Carnifex]

"Dibella? Not the name I would have chosen, but it will do." Kaine would not lie that it was absolute weird and strangely arousing to see a naked female version of himself sauntering past him, but then again he wasn't the type of man who regularly fantasied about sleeping with himself, so he didn't any ideas about that. If you were reading this thread for that, go somewhere else. Weirdos. Anyways, Kaine shrugged at Dredge's new name and the awkwardness of his naked female self, and followed along with him out of the chamber. "Where will you go now that you have been reborn in a new body? I do not think the other Yuuzhan Vong will take kindly to your very non-Yuuzhan Vong form, unless I am mistaken?"

"Would you of preferred Fem Kaine? I'm Yuuzhan Vong not hu-" pausing for a moment dredge looked down at his hands to see that he was human now. Well humanoid, Epicanthix to be exact but still human. "I swear you humans are too soft and squishy, it's maddening." Walking over to a side room dredge looked for some clothes. Grabbing a small robe the now she slipped it on covering her now clothes figure.

Looking back at him Dibella rolled her eyes then spoke. "No I don't imagine they would. So I will not be taking back my mantel as leader. At least not yet. I need to get strong first, and learn the ways of this force. Learn to control this power as you do. Then I shall return to what is rightfully mine." Dibella's voice sounded alien to her. It would take some getting used to but it would work. "I normally don't say this kaine, but thank you." She spoke softly trying to convey herself as honest as possible. She owed the guy her new life and now she had a fresh start

 

[Darth Carnifex]

"Spare your praise, I don't require it. All I ask is that you put that body to good use, and don't make a mockery of my DNA." He was thankful that Dibella had decided to put on some clothes, cause it was getting quite awkward having to look at his naked female self all the time. He lightly stroked the Scepter of Power coiled around his left arm like he would a prized pet, himself already getting used to the idea of the creature bonding to him. "You will become powerful, you used my genetics to create your new body, and the blood of a Zambrano is strong in the Force. I, myself, reached the rank of Knight after a short session of training, and killed a full-fledged Sith Lord soon after."

Tis true.

OP 'foo right hurr.

Standing there in her robes Dibella rolled her neck popping it slightly as she loosened up her new body. "It's been a long time kaine, I remember the day you walked onto Belgaroth. You were different then, you are a man of many different masks. I've watched you change into what you are now. I've seen your offspring and it's quite refreshing to see that they live up to the name." Pulling back her long hair Dibella had work to do now. Yuuzhan'tar was a sacred place and Echidna was his home. But there wete things here to be done.

"Let us go kaine, we have things to discuss." Walking forward Dibella did her best to not to walk with a sway to her hips or in a famine fashion. It was unsettling to change species and genders, and it was all so alien to him. The squishy things mounted on her chest, the long raven hair, her lips and skin all of it was so off and she was not enjoying it whatsoever. But there were things that needed to be discussed between the two

 

[Darth Carnifex]

"Very well, lead onward." Kaine would follow his clone up and out of the Vong compound to wherever she intended to lead him to, keeping silent throughout the entirety of the trip. He was curious as to what his clone had in store, as he now would rather refer to her as his clone rather than Dredge, since it was the truth. It may of been Dredge's spirit, but it was his DNA that comprised the body, so it was his clone. Clone, Dredge, Dibella, it didn't matter. They were all the same to him.
