The emerald King - For the Lady is my ally... (Patreon)

Bo-Katan Kryze, Zygerria

"This is sad, the Zygerrians' skills don't live up to their reputation," said the young warrior, finishing off another of the queen's "elite" warriors

They were not bad warriors, they were quite competent, however, Bo was used to training with Harold's black cloaks, those were rivals worthy of a Mandalorian, even for her, subduing one of Harold's elite guards was a titanic task

"Finish off the invaders" shouted the queen really terrified, while looking for a way out, the whole city was being besieged, and the troops had no mercy, exterminating Zygerrians like flies and freeing slaves, buildings and ancient monuments destroyed and even Bo watched as the famous archive room was burned down without any qualms

It was a total conquest, a full-blown cultural extermination, apparently, Harold wasn't playing when he mentioned that he would break the eternal wheel of the galaxy

The young princess shuddered at the thought of the emerald king, Harold Potter was everything Bo was looking for in a master, she still remembered that first interaction, how Bo, as the spoiled brat that she was, faced the powerful king

Only to be severely reprimanded in the attempt

Flashback

"You're the one in charge here," Bo said tactlessly, as he watched the emerald king talk to his uncle, preparing Ryloth's attack

His uncle was wearing his characteristic armor, while the king was in a simple robe, hearing Bo's voice they both looked at her curiously

"I am," Harold said with amusement, watching the skilled but novice warrior frown

"Fight me," demanded the redhead, putting on her helmet and taking a defensive position, before the incredulous gaze of the guards around, the resignation of General Price and the look of amusement of the king, who looked at her with a smile in his handsome face

As if Bo was nothing more than a silly girl, something that evidently hurt the pride of the young warrior

"I see what you say Price, she has the heart of a warrior, although she lacks the brain," said the king, observing the pose of the Mandalorian

Bo watched as her own uncle shook his head, and couldn't help but frown under her face, it was not the first time someone underestimated her, and the young redhead simply lost control

"Look, I..." however, Harold's words were interrupted by Bo's attack, who began to throw blows at the king, seeking to catch him off guard

Alas, Harold Potter had inhuman reflexes, no doubt the product of his close connection with the Force and dodged all their attacks without problems, before the resigned gaze of his uncle Price and the rest of the emerald king's personal guard

Although, to be honest, it's not like the man in front of her needed it

Bo, for several minutes, tried to land a single blow against the powerful king, without success, to the point that the rest of the guards and Mandalorians watched her with amusement and mocking whispers, given the inability to connect one

Overwhelmed and upset, Bo made the first mistake that should never happen in a fight

Losing concentration

“Stop dancing and fight!” she screamed out of her mind, furious at the apparent insult 

The king's response? Moving at a terrifying speed towards Bo, so fast that her reflexes were unable to comprehend what was happening, until it was too late

The Emerald King landed a single kick in Bo's stomach and the unthinkable happened, the Force itself trembled and Bo was thrown to the ground, at the same time that all of her armor from her helmet to her Beskar boots were torn to pieces, simply yielding to the overwhelming power of the Emerald King

When she fell to the ground, Bo was simply in the traditional clothes she wore under her armor, looking completely dumbfounded at the powerful king, around her, the remains of her armor were still trembling after such attack

The king looked at her with cold eyes, watching her silently, and looking at the remains of her armor, and with a simple wave of his hand, Bo watched as the armor was assembled again and levitated to the king's side

"Kneel down and beg forgiveness for your behavior, or this armor will go to my trophy room on Gaia Prime," the king ordered, and his stern countenance made it clear that he was not playing

Bo looked at her uncle, who was looking at her with a raised eyebrow, evidently, he would not intervene in Bo's lesson, because that was what this was, a lesson, a brat being educated by a being simply superior to her

And something inside Bo shuddered at that fact, that someone as strong as Harold Potter was real and that he was in front of her

So, full of humiliation, but with a growing desire, Bo bent the knee, before Harold Potter

Before her king, even if she didn't know it yet

Flashback End

Upon returning to reality, Bo realized that he had finished off all the guards and that the queen was totally alone

And even so, the dog continued with that really nefarious attitude, believing herself to be a gift of the Force itself

"I'M THE RULER OF ZYGERRIA, I..." however, the warrior maiden was not in the mood for stupidity and simply slammed the queen with a sharp blow, silencing her and sending her to the ground

"Come on bitch, I'm really curious about what my king has in store for you," Bo said, taking the monarch by the ears and dragging her to where Harold Potter was

Upon arriving, Bo watched in amusement as Marlo the Hutt's guards were dead, while the putrid being begged and begged for his disgusting skin

"We don't have to come to this, I can make you very rich, I can give you the necessary connections, I can even tell you how to get to Nul Hutta, I..." however, Harold did not negotiate, his campaign against the Hutts was relentless

And it was time for Marlo to pay for his actions

At Harold's gesture, the Hutt began to levitate, Marlo shook quickly her obese head, continuing to beg for his pathetic life, at the same time that Harold's hand shone with a blue light

And then, it happened, Bo watched in amazement as the obese and enormous Hutt shrank rapidly, losing its grotesque size to less than a mouse droid, totally defenseless

"Price, a new toy for your hounds," ordered the king

His uncle nodded and with a simple gesture, released the terrifying and fantastic hunting droids, sending them towards the terrified Hutt

Bo witnessed, as did the whole fucking galaxy, how one of the most feared beings of the Hutt clan was reduced to a droid teether, a pathetic end, for a pathetic being

Bo had to give credit to her king; he took care to make the deaths of the Hutts humiliating and poetic

The droids played with Marlo until the tiny body simply gave way and was split in half, seconds later, the droids lost interest in the being's remains and returned to the feet of their masters

Bo looked at them with desire, she wanted one of those fantastic droids, a battle partner would be something really amazing for the Mandalorians

Maybe it could be a new tradition, the princess thought

Seconds later, Harold turned his gaze to Bo and the prisoner, who had watched the Hutt's execution in complete terror

And with good reason, Bo thought, knowing full well that now it would be her turn

Bo wondered about what Harold's execution would be like with this bitch

She could hardly wait, to be honest

"Miraj, it has been a lot of time since I last saw you, I see that you have come far," said the king with a tone of amusement, although his eyes were cold and merciless

The mockery in the tone was more than evident, and with bravado, the "queen" blurted out

"You may finish me off now, but the people of Zygerria will rise stronger than ever, we will take our glorious place above all races," said the queen with "devotion"

Harold, for his part, looked at her with utter contempt, something that was reserved only for the slaver scum

And just at that moment, B1T entered the palace, her body had blood stains, evidently of Zygerrian origin and in her hand, a device that Bo assumed was the report of the situation

"We have finished scanning the planet, there is a colossal object, at least five kilometers long, buried deep in the sea of sand, surprisingly, it rests in an underground ocean, my team is looking for the best way to go down,” said the mechanical voice

Harold nodded and began to read the report, frowning more and more, apparently, the bad news was not over

"On the other hand, the largest cities on the planet were occupied, and the censuses are terrible, two hundred million slaves of different races, all in severe states of malnutrition or with really worrying traumas, my girls are working on organizing the rescue work."

Bo was greatly surprised that a droid was able to express as much hatred as B1T was doing at the time, totally directed towards the Zygerrians

However, what was really worrying was the look of Harold, who continued to observe the device with a single feeling, so powerful that the Force itself around him seemed to condense

Hate

Without saying a word, the king used the device and projected the images onto the holographic screens of the remains of the palace

And Bo, her uncle Price, and the rest of the soldiers were horrified at what they saw

Females placed on breeding farms, using the small ones as hunting prey, inhospitable conditions for all slaves

The Zygerrians were fucking monsters

"Shit," said her uncle, looking helplessly at a particular image, about a small Wookie, a simple child, being skinned and his skin used for a scarf of a noble Zygerrian woman

Without saying a word, Harold looked at the queen, his countenance denoting a fury never seen before

"They are monsters, more beasts than thinking beings," said the king in a low tone of voice, barely a whisper

The queen looked at Harold with mockery in her voice

"The powerful dominate and the weak are our prey, it is the right of the Zygerrian people is to dominate all other species, you disgusting human"

Not very intelligent words, in Bo's opinion, insulting whoever will decide your fate was really stupid

Harold inhaled hard and looking at B1T he asked  

“Were the slaves evacuated from the cities?” he asked seriously

The droid nodded and replied simply

“They were not many there, they consider them cattle, they keep them in underground concentration camps or far from the "glorious" cities”

Harold nodded and using his communicator, spoke directly to Fleet Mistress Sarina

"Sarina, execute the PURGE protocol, with the exception of the capital," Harold ordered

Bo didn't have the details about those words, but the rest of the soldiers did, his uncle looked nervous, but his countenance quickly changed to determination

A second later, the voice of the Twi'lek was present

"Requesting confirmation, code necessary for the activation of the PURGE protocol," the fleet mistress voice was solemn

Harold inhaled hard, looking directly at the queen, who was beginning to worry

And Harold, he only said two words, as soft as a whisper in the wind, but really powerful

“Avada Kedavra”

The Force shuddered, Bo could feel it, even if she wasn't sensitive to the Force, something had changed in the galaxy

"Protocol initiated," said Sarina, cutting off the communication and sending the transmission to the king, who, in turn, did the same in showing it not only in the palace, but throughout the city

The stationed fleet ships began to move around the planet, suspiciously positioning themselves over each and every city and urban center of the Zygerrians, at the same time as they all charged their particles beams, and all pointed at the same place

Zygerria itself

The terrified queen looked at Harold and began to scream

"No, no, what are you doing, you disgusting human? No NO," she shouted over and over again, terrified, as the guns of the entire fleet prepared to fire

Harold looked at her with utter contempt and used the Force to make sure the queen observed what was about to happen

"Glass the planet," the king ordered heavily, knowing full well that, in a few seconds, he would send millions of Zygerrians to their deaths

And a second later, all the ships attacked at the same time, unleashing the terrifying particle weapons on the defenseless cities, from the most populous and fortified city, to the tiniest and most insignificant of the distant villages, making sure that all the slave concentration camps were left intact

"NOOOOOOO" cried the fainting queen, seeing how all her people, their glorious history and legacy, were reduced to ashes, the emerald king spared nothing, cultural ruins, training centers, everything that meant anything to the Zygerrians was exterminated, a whisper in the sands of time

Leaving only the capital city completely intact

But something told Bo that it wouldn't last long

Utterly faint, the queen wept inconsolably, and Bo could feel compassion, her entire planet, her people, exterminated in the blink of an eye

Although she had no sympathy, these were the consequences of their actions

A monument to their sins...

"Price, make sure the bitch watches what happens next," Harold ordered seriously, as he walked to the center of the shattered throne room

"O my Lady, Mother of Mothers, give me your blessing once more," whispered the monarch, at the same time that a golden aura illuminated him and began to levitate in his place, before the terrified gaze of all those present

With a roar, the king opened his hands, at the same time that the visor of his helmet lit up and a huge female figure manifested behind him, imitating the pose of the emerald king

"Damn," said Price, who couldn't help but shudder at what he saw, something that any Jedi would kill to witness

A physical manifestation of the Force itself

And then a mighty wave of energy emerged from Harold, golden in color and with so much power that, just by passing, it destroyed any electronic device instantly, although that mattered little to Bo, who was too busy looking at the queen

Holographic screens showed the streets of the capital, with the Zygerrians captured and guarded by Harold's soldiers, when suddenly, the king's powerful attack manifested, piercing both Zygerrians and Gaia Prime's soldiers

And Bo could only inhale forcefully at what she saw

The Zygerrians, a space faring and evolved society began to change

Men, women and children, their bodies hunched over, their teeth grew and they began to walk with their four limbs, they look more like beasts than people at this point

“What did you do? What DID YOU DO TO MY PEOPLE?” The queen moaned, cried and screamed, who was the only one who did not change, looking totally broken at the sad and pathetic fate of her people

The king's powerful aura disappeared, at the same time as the Lady behind, and with total naturalness, looked at the queen

"Don't you like it? Now they look more like the animals they imitated," said the king cruelly, with total contempt for the Queen

"I modify the midi-chlorians of your species, forcing them to devolve to a primitive state, giving them a chance to start from scratch, as a race under the protectorate of Gaia Prime, a small barren moon will be assigned as the new home of your species, while you, will be doomed to see them, primitive and pathetic, until your day comes to unite with the Lady again," said the monarch,  sentencing the slave queen to a merciless punishment

The queen did not respond, her people were destroyed, her world conquered, and her will totally broken

"Zygerria ceases to exist from this moment, this planet is claimed as the territory of Gaia Prime, and will be named as Hephaestus Prime, the large amounts of minerals will guarantee a successful Forge world, a governor will be assigned in due time," the monarch ordered solemnly

Everyone in the room nodded, with respect and terror in equal parts, a being capable of devolving an entire species was someone to fear and admire

Calmly, Harold Potter took a seat on the destroyed throne of Zygerria and said

"We have an ark to find" at the same time that he moved his hand and several chairs appeared in the place, evidently preparing everything for an emergency meeting

Bo took his place to Harold's right quickly, this was just beginning

Master Yoda, Jedi temple, Coruscant

"What shall we do with the emerald king? His presence interrupts the peace that we have lived for centuries” said Master Windu, touching on a recurring topic of conversation

Harold Potter, the contradiction, the anomaly

Master Shaak Ti looked at Mace with a raised eyebrow and said

"There is not much to talk about, we have enough problems within the republic, with the Hutts retreating, criminal activity has increased more and more, any imbecile seeks to fill the place of the slugs, we need to train our warriors more demandingly," said the Togruta

Master Plo nodded and said

“Master Jinn has shared his decision to part ways with the order for a while, apparently the call of the Force takes him to other places away from Coruscant”

Master Yoda knew very well of Master Jinn's destiny, however, he would not share it with the council, at least for the time being

Mace was about to respond, his characteristic frown hinting that it was some complaint, something recurrent in the Jedi master of the Vaapad, however, a terrifying disturbance in the Force paralyzed the council completely

Including Yoda

Millions of beings, leaving their raw matter and joining the Force, at the same time, somewhere in the galaxy, an extermination was happening

And although worrying, such a feeling paled with what they felt a few moments later

Predicting what was coming, Yoda looked at the council and ordered

“Prepare, you must” before concentrating all his discipline on his mental strength

The rest of the council looked at him in amazement and surprise, at least until they felt it, with the subtlety of a Rancor in heat and the power of ten Marauders

A Force Nexus had appeared, one that made the Light and Dark Sides roar in harmony

In balance

The sensation was compared to a hundred suns exploding at the same time, the masters could only scream in agony, as they held their heads in pain, before losing consciousness one by one

Mace, Plo and Shaak were the last to succumb, after enduring the mental scourge for several seconds

The Force was free, untamed, even happy, a feeling that simply threatened to overwhelm even Yoda, who knew he was seconds away from losing consciousness

However...

The phenomenon that affected the Light Side also affected the Dark Side, so that, for a few moments, the clarity, that which, for decades, had been blocked by the Dark Veil of the Force, returned to the master

The veil had been lifted, and Yoda could glimpse the rottenness and hatred that only a Sith could emanate

And he was in the Senate building

With this thought, Yoda succumbed to the overwhelming sensation, fainting in his chair, an act that all the Jedi of the galaxy suffered, from the youngest of initiates to the oldest of masters

The entire galaxy trembled, the Force roaring wild and free, breaking the chains that both Sith and Jedi had imposed on it for millennia

Before long, Harold Potter's actions would be known throughout the galaxy, one that would quickly split, with some looking at the emerald king with fear or fury at his daring to meddle in the interests of the senate, while others, the vast majority would look at him as a born leader, willing to do what it takes to protect his own.  A large part of the galaxy would watch it not with fear

But with hope

Darth Plagueis, Coruscant

Plagueis inhaled with force, while lifting the veil again now with much more difficulty than before, the Force had acquired much more power and he was not able to manipulate it as easily as before

The Sith Lord only hoped that the strange event would also affect the Jedi, if not, the Council would know perfectly well of the presence of a Sith on Coruscant, totally under their noses

In the room, Solthis was still unconscious on the floor, while the Count held his head in pain and inhaled forcefully

Plagueis could not help but look at the action with respect, that the count only fainted for a moment he spoke of his great power, he would be a great apprentice, Plagueis thought

"The force itself was present, a Nexus, somewhere in the galaxy," Dooku said, still distracted by the event

Plagueis nodded, but returned to the topic of conversation interrupted before the event

“Have you thought about my proposal?” asked the Sith Lord

Dooku was silent for a long time, before just nodding, standing up, and kneeling

"I am at your disposal, master," he said calmly, while Plagueis only nodded in pleasure

"Perfect, we have to prepare everything for your promotion, in a few years you will be able to take the place of Valorum, we will talk to the federation, I will make sure that the production increases, in the meantime, you know what you have to do with Master Syfo" ordered Plagueis standing up, an act that was imitated by Dooku

"It will be done as you order, master," said the Count, before looking at the still fainting Solthis

"What shall we do with her?" Dooku asks curiously

Plagueis looked at his pet and simply said

"She's useful, but she doesn't have what it takes, we'll get rid of her in due time, maybe send her to hunt the emerald king," Plagueis thought with amusement

"Now follow me, I'll show you my most recent experiment and tell you the story of Darth Sidious the fool, who wanted to betray Sith ideologies and didn't live to tell the tale" said the Sith as they left the room

On the ground and still “fainted”, Darth Solthis simply smiled softly

"Plans must change," she whispered, as she stood up elegantly and seductively, looking hatefully at where her master left

A mistake, which would cost Darth Plagueis dearly sooner or later
