<font color=red>Tevarii's head tilted back, welcoming in the embrace and kissing him back as fiercly. The moments passed before she finally broke contact and took a step back.

Her tongue ran over her lips and a smile crept onto them. " So you have purged a planet of all goodness and life, what now? Surely you cannot top this..."

Lupercus smiled, taking her waist by his hand and guiding her back towards the main square where already they could see the Cenobites assembling. A few bands were being left on planet to ensure the destruction of all life, but most were shipping out. Shuttles could be seen descending from the sky as they approached the staging area.

"We shall see. Perhaps together we can do something even better!

Shall we ascend the heavens like the gods we are?"

Tevarii was practically purring as she stood infront of Lupercus, a wicked light dancing in her dark eyes as she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. She dragged a fingernail down his forehead, over his nose, and across his lips, leaving a light pink scratch.

<font color=red>" Something better, dear Lupercus? And just what did you have in mind?"</font>

Lupercus smiled lustily, a dark glint in his eyes. His head arched back, his nostrils flaring as he took a deep whiff of the destruction he had wrought.

"Peaches...

You always did smell like peaches."

He grinned, his head falling back to look he straight in the eyes, his hands sliding up her lower back and without warning dipped her towards the ground before swinging her back up to him and slamming their lips together. It was a furious kiss, bred of lust for hate and fire, and it took her breath away.

"In time my peach, we shall be lead there, and we shall seen what we must do. But until then, let us ascend."

He carried her into one of the shuttles as the town around them burned. Off to their left they could see Pinhead directing the other Cenobites to load the skulls and bones of Lupercus' shine into another shuttle as others loaded supplies for the fleet. A soft whine followed by a heavy clank saw the door close and they ascended, trophy and all, into the heavens.

As the pirate fleet disappeared into Hyperspace the space around the planet was completely silent, not a soul stirred. And in this vastness of space it went completely unnoticed as the modified Avenger powered up its engines and made its way to the Hyper-route back to its dispatch base. It had been to Olenji on a simple reconnaisance before the arrival of the Royal Party of Zedarr and Ayanna Darksword, only to find that it had some visitors.

The Avenger was heavily modified for AWACS work and was typically used to control a wing of Avenger fighters. But based off the Disruptor, with its 34 Squadrons of TIE Defenders, the craft was out of place, and had lately been religated to scouting work. But now, now the craft had done well, its two crew recording the entire video transmission of the slaughter, as well as most of the radio traffic. It had vital work to do.

Hours later, Royal Expeditionary Force Moorings, Maires System.

"Oh my god..."

The men sat arrayed around a large vidscreen, their faces contorted in revulsion. Some had been physically sick, but many were merely bone white with terror. Only one man sat calmly throughout the entire session. He was Colonel Daknel, leader of the Krypteia.

"Our course is evident. Rapidly form up the REF. We are going to cleanse that planet..."

The Fleet descended on the ruins within the hour. The planet was secured within 10 minutes of the fleet entering the system for one simple reason.

There was nothing left...

Not a soul was left alive on Olenji. Colonel Daknel himself was dumbstruck, requesting orders from Hapes itself, such was the gravity of the situation. The orders were simple. Set up a garrison, search for survivors, and await colonists from Hapes and Charubah.

Olenji was destroyed, and the planet, no matter how many colonists arrived, would forever remain scarred and empty.
