A Pain Lost In The Stars - Complete

Chapter 40

A powerful shift of energy had any forcer user within reach of the planet frowning as an almost tingling sensation filtered through the universe. Those of the force nearby could only gasp feeling a certain shift of darkness amongst the light. Especially those of the gods who never got involved unless they had to so as a father who was only caring for his children, he had no choice but to search for his celestial children to aid them in their fight of balance. 

Back with the brothers…

“So, what do you want with Alastor?” Dooku asked, the spirit who had taken over Kix going by the name Oizus, the celestial only smiled. 

“Oh, I do not need Alastor anymore for any significant purpose. He’s just a pawn on the chess board, a weakness to his brothers but for the sake of the balance, I am leaving Alastor to you all but be aware that he won’t wake properly unless…” Oizus stopped himself from speaking as an explosion of two forces outside the house premises caught the attention of the celestial. 

Emperor Palpatine was struggling against the power surrounding the Marshall Commander, yes Cody was leaning further into himself while using the powers hoping to aid his brothers in this fight while holding the estranged darkness away from the two of them. 

Oizus could only growl, he turned to look down at Crosshair, the marksman’s fingers twitching, “YOU TRICKED ME!” his snarl had them all jumping into action especially when he grabbed Crosshair by the neck and separated from Kix’s body into his own celestial humanoid form. 

“Let him go?!” Tech commanded, he was already on his feet and ready to save his best-friend and lover, the other members of the batch doing the same. Omega hid behind Hunter while putting a brave face on despite Edira gesturing to go back through the portal to safety.

“Pathetic, what makes you think! That you can save him from me? Mortals?” Oizus mocked only to catch the glint of a necklace around Tech’s neck, he went to reach for him when a shield like no other surrounded the batch as well as any others in the room even Cad Bane who was in shock. Oizus looked around in confusion until words of pure darkness turned his attention to someone else. 

“If you dare touch what is mine, I will make sure to end you on the spot Oizus, I don’t care that you are the father’s brother, know that I am his son and do not agree with these ways to convert one of my children into a slave for you” 

Oizus gasped, standing opposite him was one of the ancient entities in the force, known as the Celestials, whose true nature could not be fully understood by any mortals of the universe including the Jedi, even if some had encountered them, they were made to forget in the past. Standing in front of him was the son who ruled the dark side which was made up of death and chaos respectively. Normally the father would be around to keep the balance but in this instance, the father wasn’t needed as of yet. 

Crosshair shifted in Oizus hold, struggling in his unconscious state to breathe.

“For those who do not know me, I am known as Koragg, the son of the celestial father” Koragg introduced himself while eyeing up Oizus and glancing around the room where he saw the unconscious balance, the young man known to the mortals as Kix while in the grasp of Oizus was his celestial son, known as Crosshair, he would make sure he survived for now on.

“Let him go” Koragg snarled out, 

“Oh, you want him? This pathetic half-bred? The one who has some power kept behind shields, one that he doesn’t let out often due to the pain his family would feel for many lightyears, from the stars to hope? No, I think not. I want his power and…” Oizus continued talking unaware of the fact the window beside them had shattered, meaning a drop of about twenty feet was below and underneath the window was where Cody fought, the oldest brother glanced upwards only to catch glowing blue eyes. He barely nodded, forcing Palpatine and the rest of the dark troopers who had survived away from him as he allowed his celestial body out. The light side would be on her way, the darkness he wore was barely a shield from his brother.
