Master Savrasha made her way for the elevator that could bring her to the upper levels, where the Emperor's throne and Darth Malgus were.
Even though it had been a long time since she had been there and the enemy she was facing was no longer the Emperor and the Imperial Guard, she couldn't help but feel unease at walking again the very same space station where she had been captured and almost corrupted by the Emperor.
As she was passing by an hangar, her path was interrupted by blaster shots of a starship coming from the hangar's entrance.
The starship opened its ramp and a mandalorian warrior came out of it, landing right in front of the woman.
"Emperor Malgus says "hello"." he told her before attacking.
The mandalorian's ship also opened fire, forcing Savrasha to take cover.
For the most part after that, Savrasha did her best to stay out of the fire range of both the mandalorian and his ship, using both her atlethical skills and her lightsabers, but she was not able to counterattack.
The situation, however, turned a few minutes later, when the mandalorian ship was attacked from behind and its engines exploded, making the ship fall on the platform where Savrasha and the mandalorian were fighting.
Savrasha used the Force to protect herself from the falling ship. The mandalorian, however, was not as fortunate as the exploding vehicle hit him directly and pushed him back a few meters, though it did not kill him.
When the dust settled, the two rose their eyes to see a Fury-class imperial ship, with its ramp lowered, and a Sith, dressed with a set of body armor and a black and gray suit with metallic shoulders straps and a purple lightsaber at the ready, standing over it.
The mandalorian made to shoot at him, but the Sith was quicker than he looked: he leapt from his ship, which fled right after, and beheaded the warrior in one move.
Seeing that display, Savrasha activated her own lightsaber and pointed it at the guy.
"Don't move Sith." she warned.
The man, in response, put aside his lightsaber and replied: "I do not seek violence with you, Master Savrasha."
"You know who I am?" she asked surprised.
"Yes. I'm the Emperor's Wrath. The one who replaced your companion, Lord Scourge."
Any chance that Savrasha would lower her guard were gone with that revelation.
"You claim not to be here for me, and yet you are here at the same time as me?" she asked "How stupid do you think I am?"
"It's the truth." the Wrath replied "Before this moment, I had no idea you were on this station. I came here for Darth Malgus."
"And how did you know it was here?"
"Is that a serious question?" the Sith said with a small smirk "This was the Emperor's base for a long time. Do you think I had no means to find it?"
Savrasha arched an eyebrow, but made no sign to lower her guard.
"What is to be between us, then?" she finally asked.
"We are here for the same reason." the Wrath observed "We can work together against Malgus. And it will take both of us to defeat him. We part ways after that, but no mention of meeting each other to our superior."
"I can not take the Emperor's Wrath's word for it."
"Then take the word of one that owes his life to you."
