The LAAT landed again before a week passed.
John dragged Charlotte off and woke her up as the Shadow Troopers surrounded the LAAT.
Chris walked out with his hand on his lightsaber and stared at Charlotte.
"You won't kill me Chris. The only reason you ever joined him was-"
"To save you. I know." Chris activated his lightsaber as John watched with anticipation. Chris hesitated for a moment.
He looked at John, who nodded slowly. Chris looked into the eye of his sister. "This is bigger than both of us, now, sister."
"You would kill me? For this monster?" She spoke as Chris began to choke her.
"I must show my loyalty to the Sith Empire." He didn't even wait for her to speak as he slashed across her chest. Charlotte's eyes widened as Chris dropped to his knees and stared at her.
"Why? Why'd you have to betray him?" Chris dropped his lightsaber as Charlotte fell over, actually dead.
John nodded at Chris. "Good. You are worthy to be my apprentice, Darth Fain. You are the betrayer of family, and loyal to the Empire. This name suits you."
Fain kneeled before John. "Thank you, Master."
"Rise. I have a mission for you." They're asked into the castle, followed by the Shadow Troopers. "I want you to take these ten to the temple, and give them each a synthetic yellow lightsaber.
"Master? Why would you do that?" asked.
"I will have these troopers made commanders in the Shadow Legion. They will be the only ones that wield lightsabers, who aren't acolytes or you, my only apprentice."
"I understand, Master." Fain and the others immediately began walking away.
"Fain, send everyone to this city immediately. We will begin subjugation of the elves once everyone has arrived."
Fain gazed over his shoulder at John before walking away.
After they left, John walked outside of the castle and crushed it to rubble with the Force. He reduced the rubble to dust and then began building a new temple on top of it.
[Building 1x Temple: Time to completion: three weeks.]
[Gold decrease: 3,479,000 -> 3,459,000]
John then looked and saw a group of normal soldiers walk up to him.
"Lord Thane, we've a report to give."
"Speak." John crossed his arms as he waited for them to speak.
"Lord, Private Jenkins found a group of elves conspiring with a young group of a strange species in one of the royals homes."
"Which one?"
"The one belonging to the ex-Duke."
John sighed as he threw his hood over his helmet. "How many soldiers are waiting there?"
They all looked at each other. "We're the only ones that got out."
John immediately understood what they were saying and began to Force run to the manor. As he arrived he saw the group of elves coming out of a hatch in the ground.
He immediately broke all of their necks as he walked down the stairs. He ignited his red saber as he continued walking deeper into the hatch, finding a shut door. The guard in front of it tried to warn the people inside, but John broke his neck and opened the door.
What he saw was disgusting.
Elves abusing humans in every direction, and every way. That he didn't care about, but he killed very elf he passed anyway.
He found a door that said VIP and tore it off its hinges. Inside, he saw more abusing abusing a small group of dark red skinned people. They had scars of abuse all over their bodies.
"What is going on on?!?" John yelled. He threw off his helmet and stared the ex-Duke in the eyes as he climbed off one of the women.
"L-Lord Thane? Do you want one of th-" John lifted him off the ground.
"Where did you get them?" He began to crush the elf's bones as he killed the others with lightning. "Where!?!"
"My grandfather found them generations ago..."
John watched as blood began to gush out of his eyes and every other orifice.
He dropped the body and slowly approached the slaves. "It's alright. I'm not going to hurt you."
He looked at them with rage burning deeply inside him. "How many more of you are there?"
One girl spoke up. "We're the last ones. Where did you come from?"
John stood up as he handed her his cloak. "There's clothing inside the manor I'm sure. My soldiers will be waiting to defend you until I'm finished here, alright?"
John followed them out of the room. He put his helmet on and his hood over it as he walked out of the hatch.
Through the Force, he could feel three life forms in a room in the house. 'They've taken care of the rest.' John raised his hand to that wall and ripped it off. He jumped through the hole and saw a woman holding two children.
"I get it. You're the family of the scum." John spoke slowly.
"Please. I was married to him forcefully. Don't kill me or my children."
John ignited his lightsaber. "You chose to lose live as the wife of scum instead of dying. Let me correct your choices."
———
John left the manor with the soldiers and slaves, and arrived back at where the temple will be built. Some LAATs already arrived.
John and the slaves boarded one and were then taken to the first temple.
