Hey everyone!

Sorry this one took a while to finish. I reorganised the order of some of the scenes and cut some parts for the next chapter. 

I'll add a fourth part to chapter 150 (150.4) to wrap up some more important subplots in this part of the story.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the finished release!

Cheers,

Tefler

Thanks Tefler

wohoo!!!!! Thank you

Paul Mansur

Thank you! As hard as this is going to be to not just DIVE right into... I started a re-read and I'm 80 chapters in and I think I will wait until I catch up to rear this... we will see if I have the willpower lmao

Geezus, a four-parter? What's the word count going to be? This has got to be getting close to the size of chapter 100, if not larger.

"wondered if the Kirrix every" should be "wondered if the Kirrix ever"

"As alien as those creatures were, they probably shared more in common with humanity than any Terran was willing to admit" Not 100% sure but isn't it either shared more with or had more in common with

Eh, so there will be a 150.4 pretty soon? I'd rather wait for the final final release of 150 if soon-ish

Thanks Tefler. It is always anticipated and enjoyed.

well worth the wait and as usual interesting twists and 'cliff hangers'...

Tefler, you wrote two lines that contradict each other. You wrote (spoilers removed): *Are you intending to … John?* Edraele asked… John froze as he realised that the Maliri matriarch hadn’t said a word since he’d recruited …

Very enjoyable read, Tefler! Thank you so much! :-)

If you're adding a .4 version this is not the complete version. That's like saying free.... with purchase.

Thanks, Tefler!

Well, Zelig was still boned, but not nearly as hard as he could have been. If he still has any working heavy cannons on that wreck of his, he just might be able to get a little payback. I've been wondering just how effective Terran projectile weapons would be against Thrall ships. Now we have a chance to find out.

Great chapter. Lots of unexpected twists. Always love the entrance of the Jade Dragon.

Wow. That was a fun, action-pack chapter. I enjoyed it and will have to read again.

There are several cases of extraneous "white space" in Chapter 150.3: There is an extraneous space in the blank line before: (1 case) “There’s been no sign of them There are extra spaces within text: (2 cases) frowning in confusion. “How would they know -- before "How frowning in confusion. “How would they know he spat on the floor. “Open fire!” -- before "Open he spat on the floor. “Open fire!” There is an extraneous space at the start of the paragraph beginning with: (1 case) The brunette flopped back The brunette flopped back There are extra spaces at the end of the paragraphs ending with: (118 cases) the Hive Queens rooted to the spot in fear. (2) -- There are also 117 cases of one extra space at the end of a paragraph In order to find those "white space" errors, I searched for the following and in all cases I repeated the search until none were found: paragraph end mark followed by paragraph end mark followed by paragraph end mark > paragraph end mark followed by paragraph end mark tab > replace by nothing space followed by space > replace by space paragraph end mark followed by space > replace by paragraph end mark space followed by paragraph end mark > replace by paragraph end mark

Oh boy!! Looks like John and the girls will really have to get busy now indeed.

Bp Hlpt

Maybe I missed or forgot something (it wouldn't be the first time. LOL) ---------------- “So the only way to free a thrall species, is to kill the Progenitor who claimed them?” Sakura asked, as they walked down the marble steps into the courtyard. John was about to confirm that she was correct, when Alyssa spoke up. “That’s how the Maliri were freed from Mael’nerak,... -------------- I thought that Mael freed his matriarch and thralls before his final battle with Rahn, didn't he? Or did he just leave them in Maliri space without freeing them? Or, unlike the Nymphs, is a progenitor unable to free his thralls? Didn't PJ kick all of the girls out his network, then John release of the the girls before his battle with PJ? Or is releasing them from his network not the same as un-claiming them and freeing the entire species?

Leave it to Tefler to flesh out part of the backstory on a raging psychopathic monster like Gahl and make me feel a teensy bit sorry for him. Now I’m curious as to what kind of betrayal drove Gahl to madness as a child, and if perhaps the reason he forces his Matriarch into life and death battles is because he wants her strong enough to survive, and his toxic abusive nature is to keep her at arm’s length and protect his inner child from pain. Also, how disturbing is it to have Gahl sing a variant of ‘Michael Row Your Boat Ashore’ as he performs a macabre dance through the bloody Kirrix corpses?

Tefler, are you going to post typo-corrected updates to 150.1 and 150.2, or are you going to wait until you post the combined Chapter 150?

Ships in orbit are still in the gravitational pull. Cleared the atmosphere, perhaps? Great episode!

Thanks for the updated text for Ch 150.3 Complete, Tefler! But there are still several typos that I have found in the revised text.

,82: Tef, your decision to expand chapter #150 by 4 times (or more) was wonderful, ... it harkens back to the awesome chapter #100, ... and by this 3rd instalment in the #150's it has already answered a number of questions that we fans have debated over for very many chapters, ... much deserved compliments, and I look forward to whatever pages of the next chapter (#150.4) that you grace us with on Saturday, ... I've read through this chapter a couple of times now and I am very impressed by how some of your loose threads are tying up, ... as Dana would shout out, AWESOME! Thank you! ;-) TTFN

AzureReader

So far killing off thralls or evil matriarchs has been an expedient way of keeping the number of evil bitches John has to fix by pumping them full of multiple loads to a minimum. I know John doesn’t want to harm Galkiran thralls any more than he has to but it kind of seems like they have to die too. They are clearly evil to the bone. I don’t think they have a solution to fix an entire empire full of evil thralls in one go. There either has to be a discovery in this area - or they are going to have to all get wiped out.

matthew

great chapter cant wait for more love gals emo time wondering ia any one knows what planet john grew up on

GC

2ndAndrocentric: Didn't figure out how to reply inline, so RE: Cleared the gravitational pull. Your rant is technically correct (the best kind of correct.) However, at some point in your journey away from a given planet, that planet's mass, location and velocity is no longer a significant factor in your orbital calculations (compared to the influence of other nearby bodies.) To my knowledge, the relative impacts of Mars, Jupiter, et al, were not considered in the navigation calcs for the Apollo moon missions, only the sun, moon and Earth. I recently learned that the Pioneer probes used the integer 3 for the value of pi, because it was close enough, and they needed to increase the speed of computations more than they needed additional significant digits of accuracy. Respectfully, if you leave the planet and are joining ships in orbit around that planet, I feel you are still within a significant gravitational pull, and did not escape. YMMV.

Warren Waddle

Just wondering why, it is always the Terrans getting destroyed. How about we fight in their territory for awhile lol

Craig Robichaud

I’d love to see John team up with a younger progenitor who doesn’t know what he’s doing and hasn’t turned evil yet and is mentored by John on the right and wrong with their species. Be a cool thing to read.

commatoes

A thought crossed my mind while reading this chapter. It starts with Zelig having those thoughts about the Kirrix "harvest" from the Kirriz perspective. Then it ends with both the Kirrix and Terrans being slaughtered by Kahl'kagor and his thralls. And Kahl gets the teeniest bit of sympathy for thinking fondly of his adoptive parents and commenting on the bizarre appearance or Terrans and the Kirrix being grotesque. I love when Tefler puts in the meta commentary like every actor that plays a villain will tell you that villains rarely think they are the villain. And it's similar a person deciding which is a flower and which is a weed. Both the Terrans and the Kirrix have been deemed weeds.

Mike Saxion

I’m thinking we should see a portion, if not all, of 150.4 tomorrow. This is so Tefler gets paid this month. We shall see.

Holy double whammy Batman - story left on another cliff hanger and now a fast approachíng 'dead-line'.

Best I can tell, the posted versions of neither 150.1, 150.2, nor 150.3 match your latest master copies, since all three match previous versions, all of which still have typos. I'm hoping you will be able to update all three before you post 150.4, or very soon afterwards.

2ndAndrocentric

Here is another non-canonical side dish. In other words, an ignorable and iggnogable, ignorant, ignitable vignette from the mind of an iguana on a beach who thinks it is a man. Apologies to Ignatius. Reposted because I think Patreon deleted it for too frequent editing by the iguana, thanks Bp! “Recalcitrant Reset”, prelude to “Moment(s) with Matriarch(s)” and “A Parlay with Progenitors” Gal on his knees, crying. Sakura’s two ninjatos impaled through the joints in his armor just below his armpits in his lungs; axes now on the floor like him, useless. The point of John’s Runeblade less than two centimeters from his throat. Kyth’vindathys hungry, writhing, flames licking him his face impatient for the black core of him. Valeria had already gone to pieces, literally, and her head sideways perhaps two metres in front; eyes accusing him, sardonic smile frozen as if to say “My Lord, does this please you?” from her blood, demanding vengeance. Gal cried in shame. This was his doing, his bargain with Xar’aziuth notwithstanding. His decision even after escaping into the shroud to continue hunting “The Righter of Wrongs”, rather than to seek a compromise. To Live and Let Live, rather than be an agent with a license to kill; his whole life, double zero nothing. No, he deserved this. Not that he had any further reasonable hope of evading his demise; but this “Lion” deserved better than a cold victory. Gal dropped his mind shields completely. He made a fluttering telepathic nudge at John, retreating back into his now unprotected mind, inviting John to extract all that he knew and end him, body and mind. John did not follow. “John,” Gal half gurgled and wheezed, “if you kill me now all that I know will be used by Xar’aziuth against you. Wipe my mind clean and then end me. That way you will kill me twice and given nothing to our enemy. Or wipe my mind and place me in cryostasis under guard so that even my death would be unknown and you gain time before another is sent. I want vengeance on at least one of you, and I hate Xar’aziuth more than you. Whatever you do, I offer no further resistance. I submit to your torture so that before you collect my head for a trophy; perhaps I would know Xar’aziuth is dead. Do as you will.” In that moment for what he thought would be his last, Gal finally said goodbye to his adoptive parents whom he had so miserably failed, as he had failed everyone including himself. Hate for Xar’aziuth burning in him. “Cut your bond to all your thralls now, and promise to make no other, and you will live.” Said John, strangely fighting his own sword which seemed to twist in his titanic grip, hungry, flaring fiery destruction snarling in it and in him. Kyth’vindathys, hate going from it, not alive, not quite not alive, almost an entity; a part of John, apart from John. Twisting Eldritch runes appeared around John and seemed, seem, to be battling. Blake against John; Kismet against Choice, nature against nurture, pleasure at war with Semper Fi, a Marine in Full Metal Jacket. For a moment it seemed the galaxy held it’s breath. The past at war with the future, the Now in balance. Chpt 136: “ In the billions of years the galaxy had existed, his astronomical ascendancy was unprecedented…my true name is Kyth’vindathys. For I am the Vengeance of the Kyth’faren reborn.” It was then the battle lines were redrawn. Now either Blake or John would pick a side to lead to victory. He would either serve Kyth’vindathys the sword, BE the sword; or his sword Kyth’vindathys would serve him, and he would remain John, just John. JohnBlake as Ashanath so accurately called him seemed to stroke his white hat with the black band and waited. A few seconds of the material world, much longer in Astral. As the spiral of the galaxy continued turning, would it return again or would something new be born, Kyth’farenathys. The Kyth’faren reborn, free of vengeance. Gal came out in his Spirit form and caressed the bond that had fed him so much pleasure and power since coming of age, for a moment lusting after the power. Spite, to drain them all rather than hand them over to this Baen’thelas perversion… and for the first time a true full Progenitor was revulsed at himself. A Progenitor saw for the first time that the enslavement went both ways. It was his undoing, his curse and he wanted an end. In a moment of fury, not at John or even Xar’aziuth but at himself; he cut the cord. Being snapped back into his body, Gal began to die from his injuries, now having only his own reserves to heal, not caring. Sakura exclaimed “John, the lines are gone! There’s nothing connecting to Gal anymore!” “Yes I can see that Sakura, but thanks for confirming it.” John’s body said as John directed it from his own astral presence. “Gal, pull out the Ninjato now. You should have just enough reserve to heal the worst of it. Then take off your armour, slowly. No sudden moves, I am everywhere now. Come, join me to defeat Xar’aziuth.” Stiffening in pain, Gal took out each ninjato out one at a time and cast it at Sakura’s feet. Then closing his eyes he healed what would have been mortal injuries. Stifling a yawn, he took off his helmet first and then began to unbuckle each section of his armour letting it drop to the floor with a clang. He slowly got up using a hand to the floor. He took off the greaves, but did not bother with the short boots. They seemed miles away and he felt certain that if he bent down to do it, he would collapse on the floor. Looking at the floor, shoulders slumped, he awaited his well-deserved death. He was sure that this Baen’thelas was just lying to him about an alliance. Just an obvious trick to shorten the fight, no matter. Death did not come, hungering he was for and end, bones weary, arrogance drowned in despondency. Sakura in psychic alacrity picked up her blades and standing behind Gal, at his throat horizontally the right death instrument; raised above the point at the joint of the neck to skull the other twin death instrument. Eyes on John, synchronized, a willing hungry tool, John’s priestess of Justice also hungry for vengeance. Sakura was not as impatient as Kyth’vindathis still twisting, furious, so hungry, in John’s grip wanting the power that was still barely John’s to control. Kyth’vindathys called out to Blake, but John had already taken the decision when Gal had chosen. Gal no longer afraid, tired, wanting as The Blade did, his end. “Now go to that comm station there. Issue a command to all your fleets, cease fire, power down all weapons and shields. Retreat half speed just inside Kirrix space. Only audio communications with my fleets to be sent or accepted. I offer them their lives as the only condition for their surrender. I know you want to die, and perhaps I will grant your wish for a psychic death; but not now. There is much you do not know.” Gal moved slowly as Sakura would permit to do John’s bidding. John followed to the side. *Alyssa, Edraele, Jade it is over for now. Cease fire on any ship that is not actively hostile. Follow them with your shields and weapons at the ready. You know the terms. Relay my orders now.* An outpouring of relief and joy was cut short as John sternly added, “But I need to talk with each of you individually soon. Some adjustments are necessary and we will come to agreement together.* Gently, submissively, Alyssa *Yes John, you are in charge.* and felt approval, acceptance and trust. With great relief Edraele *Absolutely John, I am here to help however I can!” and felt respect, thankfulness and …was that doubt of her? In her boundless optimism and faith in her Master Jade added *I never doubted you Master!” Then Jade faltered as she could sense a whisper from John, not words, an emotion of disappointment to her only; almost like yes you have doubted, and still you do not know me…* Confused Jade kept quiet and wondered what she had done to disappoint the centre of her existence, the purpose of her being. Gal’s listless voice and slumped figure went out to all his fleet. *The conflict is over, cease fire. We have lost. Your lives will be spared if you abide by my orders now. Power down your weapons, then when not being fired on, de activate your shields. Proceed at half speed to the rally point outside Maliri space. You will be followed by fully capable ships. Should you continue to fight, you will die.” Team Redskin was confused. Fingers froze at control panels as an aching hole grew and despair set in. There were many suicides not much later that day; but for a time blind obedience like a habit caused most ships to power down, turn and limp back outside Maliri space. A few hesitated, and were obliterated by the wary Maliri who massed their firepower on ships that seem to just hang there, but shielded. Black ships escorting others back. “This is a beginning for you Gal.” said John carefully. In anger, Gal replied “The beginning of my torture, as I have tortured others! Drop the act, I am not that stupid.” Sakura lowered her blades, confused, not in control of her synchronized body and stepped back. Taking off his right gauntlet, John gently placed his hand on Gal’s shoulder. “I will not torture you. How much you torture yourself with the memories I leave to you. Come, it is time you met my parents. I will have my father take you deep in the Astral so you can begin to understand. You will see my mother, a thrall in love no longer in compulsion. Not that my father understands much yet, but he can take you part of the way.” Putting his gauntlet back on, still not turning his back to Gal, Sakura at the ready john began to walk backwards then stopped. “I don’t like you Gal, or my father Rahn for that matter; but it is time to for me put away the hate of the both of you…of what I was.* Still needing great effort to control Kyth’vindathys, he sheathed it on his back and turned his back on Gal. “Tell your former thralls to evacuate the bridge and clear all passages leading from here to there, as well as to the Raptor inside the hangar. Follow me, we’re going to the Raptor and get some more girls…and Gal, you can look but you better not touch!” Incredibly to Gal, John winked at him with a smile. Confused Gal began to walk behind John, Sakura behind him, blades drawn but not so near now. For a moment Gal thought John a fool to leave his weapon so close that he would be able to grab it. He looked at the Runesword with desire…and shivered with fear as Kyth’vindathys seemed to twist and flare at John’s back hungry…for Gal’s life force. They walked in silence, John calm, Gal confused, Sakura wary and controlled. Elsewhence Galadriel smiled as she also remained Galadriel, Just Galadriel. Frodo lives!

I hope Tefler sticks with the stripped back rawness of the last couple of installments. Given it is a classic curve BD, I suspect many of us know the next installment will be mainly concerned with getting the invictus into the battle, getting the new fleets crewed, readied for battle and to the party. Of course there will be space for some Lynette, some repentance by Nathan, some orgy and a lot of cut way to Gahl and Valeria......F5. The battle royale will be 151! Let's get ready to...... F5

AzureReader

Hard to say if 151 will be the battle. The entire TSM epic has been about building up to this battle. If Tef wants to take another 10 chapters to whip the scene into a proper frenzy then I’m sure it will be great. We’re all eager to get to the battle but the journey, all 150 chapters of it now, is what makes TSM great.

... Wow. The start of this section REALLY makes me despise Alyssa. She's more than smart enough to realize that the setup with Auralei will make John feel violated. And she does it anyways. I was really hoping that John would give her a dressing down for betraying his trust.

Rayce Royal

I'm really tired of Alyssa always going behind his back and doing things to force his hand. She's definitely my least favorite character in the entire story.
