Chapter 6: The Light and The Dark Pt 5

"We will comply. I have no reason to fight you due to a common law."

"Then I will need to confiscate all your weapons"

Crystaall nodded to the man and began to unclip her utility belt, handing it to the guard at the captain's right. She sighed as the guard began to go through the entire belt and its pouches, but never once taking out her pistols. The guard probably assumed that they were set to detonate, as she noticed a few of the others in a battle-ready position. Grey-Kast had to give over his own pistol and knife without a word but he gave Crystaall a look. A look which she took as 'I hope you know what you're doing'. She only knew that she couldn't be angry, and fighting these guards would build up her rage and possibly kill innocents and herself. Crystaall then began to think about R4 and the Dragon Hawke. Those two were important to her as much as her own life.

"What will happen to my ship and my droid? I assume you won't scrap them?"

"We don't scrap evidence ma'am. Your ship and droid will be inspected thuroughly for anything that depicts you as an Imperial Spy or even a ture killer of men. But we will only do so after you execution."

"Execution? For entering your system?!"

Now Crystaall was angry, but it was only anger at how she managed to accept death without it being spoken to her face. To her, this was an outrage, and Grey-Kast probably didn't hear it. This was good. She didn't want him to know what they were heading into. But her anger was steadily rising as her heartbeat began to beat faster. 'That's it.... become angry, show them what happens when you anger a demon. Anger will be your only savior and it will be THEIR sentence to death.' The A.I was trying to convince her to let her hatred roam free. She couldn't let that happen as she clenched her fists and began to breathe slowly. Crystaall needed to be at peace, for her sentence was not the worst of what the Empire could come up with.

"Tell me, how long will we remain in custody?"

"About one day ma'am. Then comes the Day of Reckoning for you and your friend."
