Chapter 6: The Light and The Dark Pt 1

The Dragon Hawke exited hyperspace in a fury of speed and soon halted its long drive, hovering over the planet of Naboo. Crystaall was restless as she began to wake up. Her and Grey-Kast had fallen asleep during the short trip. Her feet were propped up on an empty space of the dashboard and her arms were crossed and hung underneath her chest. Crys finally decided to look to the right to see Kast completely lost in a fantasy with drool falling from his mouth. She pushed herself up, with her legs flying in the air and landing with a strong thud onto the metal floor. This did not even manage to make the rodian acknowledge the event. Crystaall shook her head as she stretched her arms while she stared at the planet through the view port. It was an amazing view, and she could guess it looked more beautiful if she stood on a hill and looked over the landscape. After dropping her arms, she only shivered after hearing the clank of metal against metal within her armor. She may have gotten used to the fact that she still had arms, but she could feel the air go through its cracks. It was a disturbing feeling to say the least. The armor and her arms would clank constantly, making barely a noise, as she walked out of the cockpit to grab her helmet. She took it off the shelf and placed it on her head, smiling at the click it made when it connected to her armor. It began to start up its HUD system, but something was not right. The helmet's systems couldn't start up all the way and eventually shut off completely. Crystaall was puzzled at what could cause this, she hadn't touched anything or messed with it ever since she got it. And then it clicked in her head. The A.I. It must want to contact her through the armor and all Crys could do was wait for it to try something. A black screen soon appeared, disabling her vision and just as quickly, two red eyes appeared. Crystaall fell back in fear, eyes widened and a small yelp as she fell on her backside with her hands keeping her from laying down. The eyes winced at the small scream, but it soon produced a smile once Crystaall was finally settled down.

"Boo."

And there it was. A voice for the thing the Imperials put inside her. The Imperials she couldn't remember, but somehow she knew it was their fault.

"Oh those guys? Yea... I murdered each and every one of them in cold-blood. Why do you think you can't remember a thing?"

Crystaall was shocked... it read her mind, her very thoughts. It was as if it was placed right inside her brain. But she had to ask a question, a question that was most likely pointless in this endeavor.

"What are you?"

"I am the A.I placed inside your brain, and I am meant to feed on every emotion of anger you possess. Nothing less. But it could be a whole lot more."

"So.... what? Are you going to be my future tormentor?"

"The coming days will only tell little girl."
