On board the Devastator, Commander Quinn watches the Republic Cruiser with unblinking eyes. He was waiting for the right time to launch the killing blow on the Cruiser.

Imperial Ensign: Commander! Shall we commence the bombardment sir?

Quinn continued to observe the Cruiser and the battle raging around it. But out in the distance, he saw Darth Aolroth's Sith Interceptor ship exiting the hangers of the Republic Cruiser. That was the chance Commander Quinn was looking for.

Pierce: Commence the bombardment Ensign. You may fire when ready.

Commander Quinn calmly gave his orders. Almost immediately, a squadron of Imperial Bombers descended upon the Cruiser and unleashed a devastating and relentless bombardment on the Cruiser until it began to implode. Quinn noticed some escape pods ejecting from the ship, but they were of no concern to him. The battle was won as all Imperial personal on board began to cheer. Darth Jahl walked up to the Commander.

Darth Aolroth: It is a glorious victory my lord.

Darth Jahl: Yes Commander. A glorious victory indeed. It is a glorious day for the Empire!

Darth Aolroth soon made his way to the bridge and bowed before his master.

Darth Aolroth: My master, Argos Karr is dead.

Hearing the news that his hated enemy was dead brought a smile to the Sith's face.

Darth Jahl: You have done well my apprentice. With Argos Karr dead, the Republic has been dealt a vicious blow. It won't be long before the Sith triumph over the Jedi! This victory is yours my apprentice! Be proud of this crowning achievement!

Darth Aolroth: I shall my master.

Darth Jahl: When you are able, meet me in Dromund Kaas. There is more work to be done.

Darth Aolroth: I will do so as soon as possible my master.

Darth Jahl left the bridge to the hangers to make his journey to Dromund Kaas.

Quinn: Your master is accurate my lord. This victory is yours.

Darth Aolroth: Not mine alone Commander. This victory is yours as well. This victory is the Empire's! This victory belongs to us all Commander!

Hearing this filled Commander Quinn with pride.

Quinn: Thank you my lord. I am honored!

With this victory, we are one step closer to winning this war. And with our final victory, comes peace.

Quinn: I look forward to that day my lord.

Darth Aolroth: I must make my way to Dromund Kaas. Till next time Commander.

Darth Aolroth said as he extended his hand to the Commander.

QuinnL I eagerly await that day my lord.

Commander Quinn replied as he shook the Sith's hand. The Sith soon exited the bridge and made his way to his ship. Darth Aolroth made his way to the hanger where his ship was being kept. He saw Sgt Pierce waiting nearby.

Darth Aolroth: I trust the battle wasn't too difficult for you Sgt?

Pierce: None at all sir! Lost a few of my boys on that cruiser, but they died a warrior's death!

Darth Aolroth: They died for the Empire. None could ask for a better death!

Quinn: We have a saying in Shadow Squadron. "In the face of death, we shall stare with unblinking eyes." We live and die by those words.

Darth Aolroth: We Sith hold a similar code. We face death with the intent for victory.

Pierce: Men like us don't live long lives. So we dedicate our lives to the Empire till the day we can't.

Darth Aolroth: When that day comes, there's no other I'd rather have by my side than you and Shadow Squadron.

Pierce: Same here sir. It would be an honor to fight and die by your side.

After finishing the conversation with the Sgt, Darth Aolroth made his way to the Medical facility of his ship to see Seras.

2V-R8: Is there anything else I can do for you miss?

Seras: That will be all. Thank you 2V!

As 2V-R8 finished applying the bandages to Seras, Darth Aolroth enters the room.

2V-R8: Ah master! So good to see you again! As you can see, Seras is no worse for the wear and will be functional in no time!

Darth Aolroth: Prepare the ship to launch. We leave for Dromund Kaas.

At once master!

The droid complied as he left the Sith and Seras alone.

Darth Aolroth: I see you've recovered.

Seras: Shoulder's a little sore, but nothing too bad.

Seras looked to the Sith's eyes and wanted to ask him something.

Seras: When you said you wanted peace, why do you want it?

Darth Aolroth: So no one will suffer what I have suffered. I will see to it that peace is an absolute. I will bring peace to the galaxy, even if I must trample on millions of corpses!

Darth Aolroth points out his philosophy and life goals to Seras. She felt bad for asking the question and could understand why someone would go to those lengths to bring peace.

Darth Aolroth: And secondly, so that no harm ever comes to people like you.

Seras: Jaric..... I....

Seras attempted to say something before the Sith cut her off.

Darth Aolroth: When I saw you get hurt, I didn't know what to do. I let my anger and rage guide my blade. You are the only good person I know left. You are kind and strong, like my mother. What happened to you was terrible. You have proven yourself to be a valuable asset, but more importantly an ally I can truly trust with my life.

He sat by her bed, putting his hand on hers.

Darth Aolroth: I make this vow Seras. I shall protect you with my life. We shall bring peace to the galaxy!

Seras than pulls the Sith for a passionate kiss.  The love that grew between the two truly blossomed in that one moment. For the first time in his life, Darth Aolroth was Jaric Orotekt.

Seras: I love you Jaric. I love you!

Darth Aolroth: As do I Seras.

The Sith says as he kisses her once more. Darth Aolroth finally knew a love he had long since desired since the death of his mother. As the ship made it's way to Dromund Kaas, Darth Aolroth had Seras. It was all that mattered to him.
