"Shacc, there is a person demanding your presence. They applied to talk to you about serious topics regarding interastal businesses", Military Officer Victorinous suggested at the Seat Of Crabskiff Heaven. "Tell them that they are able to go to the Seat's interrogation room. I'll be there", I said.
"Tyrkys, please assist me during the interrogation"
Intelligence Officer Tyrkys nodded as we walked to the Seat's interrogation room. In the room was a tall Levian with an impressive armour.
"Hello, so-almighty Lord Shacc. I hope you are doing well", the Levian said. Administrator Weraya was standing behind the Levian.
"Weraya, who is this person?", I asked.
"They refused to show their face, but judging from their tail, this person is a Levian and probably a male", she answered.
"Dear visitor, we are kindly requesting you to take off your helmet. This way, we can registrate your identity in our system", I suggested.
"No. I refuse to do so. I only have a few questions, and after that I'll depart your planet", the Levian said.
"Before I'll answer your questions, you will have to answer mine. What's your name? What is your faction? What is your intention for visiting the interrogation room?", I asked.
"Tsk... I don't have a name. My name is 2035, the year I was found and created by my saviour. My faction, my pride... it's Luwig. I am willing to give my life for Luwig and the will of Corruption! I am only here to assist and send a message, you know", the Levian, named 2035 said.
"You are a Blinded Vassal", I said. "You will be sent out of Sharjasania after the interrogation has finished. Ask our questions now".
"Lord Shacc, do you ever feel regret of banishing those who follow the will of Corruption?", 2035 asked.
"No, I don't. The Blinded Vassals are dangerous and will disrupt the order within Sharjasania. They meet a peaceful rest within the Prison Of Everlasting Spirits and do not encounter unecessary violence", I answered.
"But do you never think that it's bad to discriminate, even if these people are dangerous in your eyes? Don't you feel too powerful sometimes? With the power to banish anyone you dislike and call it justice?", 2035 asked.
"No. People, for example our ex-Data Officer, Luna would pose a serious threat. Sharjasania is safe now because it is ruled by one faction. If multiple factions would rule the planet, it would cause chaos. On a distant planet named Terra, this is the case.", I said.
"You are very unfair, Lord Shacc", 2035 laughed hysterically. "Do you know what you've done to my beloved queen, Luna?"
"Queen? What do you mean? Do you have any connection with ex-Data Officer Luna?", I asked.
"Hahaha... you'll see! The Luwigians seek vengeance, and you, the unfair leader of Sharjasania will pay the biggest price!", 2035 said.
They grabbed a sword and attempted to dash towards me to stab me, however Intelligence Officer Tyrkys managed to instantly cryofreeze them.
"They will be sent to the Prison Of Everlasting Spirits immediately", he said. "Shacc, please consider 2035's words.
I understand that those who follow Corruption cannot be trusted, however, it's not a bad idea to create more reinforcements".
I nodded.
"I will run the invasion protocol", I said. "Please make sure that all the Vurafou guards are ready for defense".

The Seat assembled once again.
"Following today's visitors' words, there is a possible invasion incoming. For safety reasons, the invasion protocol will be running for three days", I said.
"Talia, make sure that the crowd stays calm. Tyrkys, Vic, prepare the Vurafou and technology. I will publish more information after researching 2035's identity together with Administrator Weraya".Everyone nodded and did as told.
"Administrator, we now know about this person, that likes to be known as 2035, that they are a Blinded Vassal in a metal armour. They carried a weapon with them illegally. They are Levian, but are resident in Luwig. Administrator, what is the information about Luwig?", I asked.
"There is no data about Luwig. However, considering 2035's connection with ex-Data Officer Luna, it's very likely that Luwig is a location that is governed by her", Administrator Weraya answered. "Since Luna became a Blinded Vassal, Corruption has spread as wildfire in Sharjasania".
"Right. Make sure to resume research about those who practiced Corruption and try to find a connection. I will go see Tyrkys now", I said.
"Tyrkys, how is the technology working?", I asked.
"Currently very well. The icicle helicopters are ready to be utilised, and the ice missiles will be ready soon. All electric devices have been shut down temporarily to avoid system damage. People are being warned to stay inside undergound spaces", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys answered.
"Understood. Where is Military Officer Victorinous?", I asked.
"He's in the military base, as usual", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys answered.
I went to go see him.
"Vic, do you think the Vurafou is ready for defense?", I asked.
"Yes", Military Officer Victorinous answered.
"Unfortunately, the Skuarite Elite League is currently unreachable due to their assignments on the Sepiia Space Station. There are no elite leagues available right now".
Hours went by as I checked every corner of the planet and asked officials about the situation.

Then, when it was stardown, the sky turned dark blue, and it started storming.
"So this is the result of Corruption's spread", I thought.
"Shacc, the Vurafou guards are ready to defend", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys said.
I nodded.
"Luna, I know about your presence. Show yourself, now!", I shouted up into the sky.
Hundred beams of lights shot down on the ground and spawned Corrupted spirits, who resembled Blinded Vassals.
"Ahahahaha, there you are, so-almighty Lord Shacc", a female voice said in a taunting way.
"Long time no see Luna. You were supposed to be in the Prison Of Everlasting Spirits", I said. "What was so important for you to escape?"
"Hm? Can't you think about it yourself, no? You can't supress Corruption's will forever! One day, your shadow friend will die and Corruption will rule this amazing universe piece of planet!", Luna said as she slowly drifted down. She looked no different from when she was exiled: black blindfold, dark blue hair and black dress. But one thing was different: she seemed to have a tail.
"Give up now, Luna. This is not the place to fight", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys said.
"It is not too late to turn back. If you return to Luwig now, we won't need to bother eachother further", I said.
"I don't care about peace! I am here to take what I wanted all along!", Luna replied. "Army of Corruption, attack everything!"
All the Corrupted spirits were wandering around like braindead zombies, however were unable to find any humans besides the Vurafou guards, who completely decimated the spirits with their advanced tecnhiques.
"You don't stand a chance", Military Officer Victorinous said.
"I do, in fact", Luna said. Using the powers of Corruption, she created glowing disks and smote them everywhere, damaging buildings and killing guards.
"If the sea doesn't wash the fish on shore, you must fish them yourself", I said. "Everyone, decimate her!", I shouted.
I immediately dashed forward.
"Blessings of Jinzekura, chains of the light", I said.
The power of Shape engulfed me. I threw chains at Luna, however she cut all of them in half with the disks of Corruption.
"Be cautious! She has received the blessings of Corruption!", I shouted. Luna was donning an evil grin. Then, one of her allies, possibly another Blinded Vassal descended from the sky. "Petuniya, meet Sharjasania. Sharjasania, meet Petuniya", Luna said.
The young woman, with unhygienic hair covering her entire face and insect fangs coming out of her head was just floating in the sky, not saying a word.
"Bloodhunger", she said.
Suddenly a few Vurafou guards died and their blood was flowing out.
"Domain of Corruption, destroy!", Luna shouted.
The tail that was attached to her detached, and an eye opened on it. Its end was a razor sharp blade, which was ready to stab even more people.
"Aim for the tail!", I shouted.
While we were busy trying to dodge Corruption Domain's attacks, the blood from the killed Vurafou guards ascended upwards and formed a spiral of swords. Petuniya smiled evilly as she let the blood swords rain down at everyone severely wounding them. With every wound, more blood came out. With every spatter of blood, more swords were created.
"This will stop now!", I shouted.
Intelligence Officer Tyrkys and Military Officer Victorinous were busy trying to kill the tail and evade the swords all at once, Tyrkys using his freeze abilities and Vic using his wind abilities. However, when Vic was unaware, the tail wrapped around him and gripped him tight.
"No! Let me go! Stop! Die!", Military Officer Victorinous shouted.
"Hm? Can't even fight against the Domain? Well that's weak, Luna said, laughing evilly.
She used her finger to create a very dark blue beam, hitting Military Officer Victorinous' head. As Corruption's Domain wrapped around him tighter, nearly suffocating him, his eyes and pupils have all turned dark black.
"What have you done to him, Luna?! Undo your curse!", I shouted.
Intelligence Officer Tyrkys finally managed to freeze all blood swords.
"Now face defeat, Blinded Vassal", he said as he launched thousand Icicle Helicopters towards where Petuniya used to be.
However, when he looked up, she was gone as if she never existed.
"We'll get you soon, insect girl", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys mumbled.
He hid the icicle helicopters behind a building in case they were needed again in the battle.
"I don't feel so w-", Military Officer Victorinous mumbled, until it became inaudible.
I looked up and saw Luna moving her fingers, seemingly controlling Military Officer Victorinous directly
."Now decimate him", Luna said.
"No! Vic! It's me! Your friend! It's a trick, an illusion! Don't let Corruption get a hold of you", I shouted, desperately.
I could not lose my first friend to the will of Corruption. I wouldn't accept that. However, Military Officer Victorinous only mumbled inaudibly as he ran towards me and tried to hit me everytime, without any precision and just using brute force. But I couldn't afford to hit him back either.
"On me", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys said.
He sent the Icicle Helicopters towards Military Officer Victorinous and instantly cryofroze him. Luna wasn't very happy about that. But neither was I. I grabbed the Mask Of Nihility and put it on, the Void overtaking my mind completely.
"Wait! Shacc! That's dangerous!", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys said. "I have no choice", I said as I felt myself become more hysterical. The Void and I aligned on one goal: destroying the overpowered Blinded Vassal in the name of Sharjasania and The Void.
"Are you asking little shadow blob for hel-", Luna giggled, but before she could finish her sentence, I was already right in front of her.
"Sink in an eternal abyss", I said.
With one hand movement, the gate to the Void was opened in the sky. "
You will regret this", I said.
 I grabbed Luna by her neck and instantly rose upwards into the void that is part of the Prison Of Everlasting Spirits, after which I sealed it. She and I were trapped in the void now.
"Shackles of the dark. May you be caged in the emptiness for the rest of your existence", I said. "But", Luna sighed weakly. "There is nothing here to cage me, it's an open space?!"
"Exactly. It doesn't matter how far you move in the void, you will always end up in the same place: the void. No matter how often you will try to overtake the galaxy with Corruption, you will always fail", I said.
Luna smiled, as if she had a backup plan. But for now, I didn't bother thinking about it. I took off the mask and reconnected with Sharjasania.


"Are you okay, Shacc?", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys asked.
"I feel a bit faint, however, I am okay. How about Military Officer Victorinous?", I asked.
 "He's still frozen", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys answered. "He will remain like this for the next fourty-eight hours, in which we will place him in a containment room until the Corruption has left his body completely".
"Understood", I replied.
After telling everyone that Sharjasania's streets were safe again, life returned to the usual. No one batted an eye, however the story of those who fought against the evil became famous. Military Officer Victorinous recovered quickly and was healthy again. I wasn't able to catch any form of Corruption in his spirit so far.
