Star Wars: Exiled/Chapter 1: A Bold Move

"Sir, the Huks have retreated into the temple!" the Kaleesh captain shouted to his general.

Kellod slammed his fist onto the table. He had orders not to engage the Huks if they retreated to the temples. However, this was a key battle and if he didn't beat them here. Well he didn't even want to fathom the possiblities.

"Destroy the temple. Cave the bugs in."

"But sir-"

"I said do it! Or do you denine your orders, captain?" Sacor questioned.

He hated when soldiers questioned his orders. Sacor jan Kellod would do what needed to be done. As his trainer had said years ago.

"No sir. I'll give the orders at once." the captain took a bow and scurried away.

Kellod watched the cannons shift around in firing range of the temple and he enjoyed every second of the destruction of the holy place. For he knew that hundred's of the Huks would be crushed under the bricks that made up the temple. Sacor prayed to the gods though so that they may forgive him. Of course, the mortals would not be so compassionate.

"Sir, the High Priest would like to speak with you." the captain reported.

"Very well." Kellod drew his pistol and shot the captain.

Thought you could get away with ratting me out? Sacor thought.

"Fool." he said as he contacted the High Priest by hologram.

An elderly Kaleesh adorned in a brilliant robe appeared.

"Ah, Quantum hev Saddoc. What do you wish of me?"

"To explain what you did! You have angered the gods by destroying that temple! You should be ashamed."

"I only did what had to be done my friend."

"You are no longer my friend! I must punish you Sacor it is the will of the gods. Return to base now."

Sacor lowered his head. "Very well."

The connection was disabled by Saddoc.

"Someone, get my speeder ready." Kellod ordered.

"I better hurry." he thought aloud.
