(Mostly) On the Hynerian Palace Planet
Mar. 2nd, 2022 09:44 pmRygel’s gambit had worked. The palace planet was unprotected after Bishan split his fleet to protect the two targets that Rygel’s new navy and the two prowlers had attacked. When Rygel’s forces turned their attention to capturing the Dominar’s castle the battle could hardly even be termed as such.
Scorpius had barely finished suggesting a strategic retreat when Rygel, accompanied by loyal members of the Order of the First burst into the throne room. “Lower your weapons,” he told the guards, “or be struck by ours. It matters little to me either way."
“Cousin!” Bishan tone was full of forced cheer. “It’s good to see you! I see you have decided to join me in–”
“Oh, shut up, Bishan!”
“Now see here, Rygel! Your time is long gone! It’s been 130 cycles and the people have forgotten about you! Now, I’m willing to perhaps give you an advisory position, but–”
The blow Rygel struck across his cousin’s face cut him off mid-sentence. “I think even D’Argo would’ve been proud of that one.”
( Who would have thought the space coup would actually be successful? )
[NFB for distance because Hyneria is still really far away. The saddest alien continues to have his phone for the moment. And with that we're done adapting the "The Beginning of the End of the Beginning" comics arc.]
