*Jed start walking behind Manuel and Butcher thinking about the ships Manuel was thinking about, he gets close to Butcher trying to see into her datapad but lost consentration for a second.*
well my Raven fighter seem to fit his description doesnt?*he whisper to Butcher*
Butcher made a gesture, showing approval for Jed's idea. We got a good stock of fighters from where to choose, we just need to pick the right one... She kept scrolling down her datapad looking at every fighter in the list. After some time she raised her head waiting for Manuel or Jed to say something
After some weeks Manuel and some of his knights came back to Planet Gran Canaria. Since Manuels Fleet is active in Liberty, they have not anymore a lot of time for the church like before, but they still have time. Jed and Butcher stand in front of the church...
Jed, Butcher!
Seems you love the Nephtys 'eh? You shouldn't forget that every ship has his bad sides. And now a question, I heard something about a new religion called ''Fury''? Do you know something about them?
[font=Arial Narrow]Jed, Butcher and Manuel goes inside of the church and eat something, while they are eating, Manuel ask himself something....
I heard bad things about this ''Fury'' religion. Time to meet them and show them who's the boss in sirius! Jed, Butcher, if you know something about this religion, so tell me please.
I want know all about them, I want know the people who speak bad behind our back.. Actually could Chavier tell me something about this religion, but he is making trouble, like... always in liberty.
[font=Arial Narrow] Manuel looks mysterious to the ground and said to himelf: 'Chavier, our walking 24/7 bad guy in liberty, Hah!'
[font=Book Antiqua]You know, if you know the Vulnerabilities of your enemies, if you know their interests, If you know exactly what they do and what they want, you have a good chance to bring them in the darkness. The darkness isn't just a dark room, it is a own space, it is a kind of a own little world. OUR LITTLE WORLD! Their day is my night, my night is their day. I am not afraid of the night. Their night is a cruel thing, they fear to go out of night. They are afraid to watch in my eyes, they are afraid to come to us, they fear to speak with us. They are afraid to attack us, They are afraid to create an army! You want know why? Its simple: Because we are the most mightfull Fleet in Sirius!
Butcher immediately began looking on her datapad for any relevant information regarding them, but the searh returned no matches.
I heard from a zoner in Bering they are some sort of extremist religious group, as for what they do I have no idea... I wouldn't have any problem with killing them if they mess with us but if we could work together that would be...acceptable...
And with that butcher returned to her datapad to find any more information
Perhaps sending someone to investigate would be a good way to know what they are up to...
Chavez, takes a pencil and starts writing a later.
"Well, what I can write now?". He is not really happy because he has no Rheinland Beer again.
"Well, seniors and senorita. I have a good message for us. We have again something to do, or maybe myself"
He likes a cigar, and blows the smoke out.
"Furries or Curries or whatever you can call this bunch of insects. I don't know really who they are but I guess they are not good. Something is in my way"
He laughs and throws his cigar away.
"and I will pray for this bunch to not come in my way"
He turns around walks into the church to throw the letter into the box
Chavez hopes really to get an encounter with one of those jerks..
A dark fog surrounds the church, a dark shadow of a human stands in that fog, and only a voice is heard from there. A voice so powerful that others who heard it had a strong feeling of scare. Some green eyes are shining from that human shadow inside the fog, and the voice started to say something with pure passion and evil feeling inside that voice.
"My brothers, My master......I HAVE RETURNED !"
The shadow fades away and the green shining eyes are no longer on sight, the fog is dissipating in the same way that appeared there.
Manuel is very happy about the come back from Martelus. Because Martelus is one of the most mightfull and most experienced knights of the fleet. Martelus jailed already a lot of souls in the Abandoned.Hope and in the darkness. Manuel goes directly to Martelus, without to speak with a other person, it was one of the most beatiful moments in his life... He found Martelus while he was speaking with some other followers of the faith...
MARTELUS! I can't believe it! You are back!
[font=Arial Narrow]It seems like that Manuel is beginning to cry because he is so happy. So a other follower said: ''Manuel my master, you begin to cry?'' Manuel trys to be fearfull and stop to cry:
Hah! How could I cry? Seriously, thats a bad joke. Sure, I'm very happy that Martelus is back. Martelus, some things changed. The Battleship of the Darkness is now at planet Toledo in the Omicron Minor system. The other Fleet knights make active trouble in Bretonia and Liberty. The people are feared, the people try to run away from us, the people try to avoid us but nothing works. We will bring 'hem all in the darkness. And another thing, there is a new religion called ''Fury'' or something. I heard that we are one of the biggest problem for them, sounds good eh'? Thats a awesome thing to hear that we are one of the biggest problem for people! We must find out more about this people from this Fury religion. Do you want to help me Martelus? I'll have a big poster here stick to the wall where it says that all who want to help to search informations about the Fury religion, to come to me and say it.
[font=Microsoft Sans Serif]The poster, he made some more of this one and hang it out in the complete church.
At last Manuel is still writing a short message for Butcher, in that stays, that he says thanks for the informations about the Fury religion. That was very worth full informations. Then he goes out of the Church and begin to fly away in the deep of the space...

There it was - the unrecognized figure from his nightmares - right in front of him. Bryan looked around nervously, but still walked on. The shadow grew larger and larger and soon some details could finally be seen.
It was a building. A church. Bryan went around it once before finding a door. High and tall, made of wood and clad in metal, it towered over him.
Hesitating for the last time, he gently pushed one side of the door. Surprisingly easily and quietly it gave way and Bryan took a step inside.
Manuel is awaiting Thaler in the church. He ever knew that he will one day come. This fear with this nightmares. Nobody want it, nobody can run away from it and everybody who try it, will die in one of the fearfull nightmares. Manuel and some other followers and even dark soldiers are waiting in the main hall of the church.
It was just a question about time, when you arrive our church.
[size=medium]Haaaaahaaahaaaa!
The famous Bryan Thaler of the Liberty Navy. You are it, in meet and blood. If you believe that your nightmares wasn't normal nightmares, then you are absolutely right. If you believe, that this church here isn't a normal church, you are again absolutely right. And if you believe, that I'm not normal and I am the master of the darkness, you are not so stupid than you look. But I never thought that, you are a good guy Thaler!
[font=Arial Narrow]You can hear a very quiet laughing from Manuel...
[font=Book Antiqua]It was just a question about time, when you arrive our church.
Welcome in my dark church, its a wonderful place for my followers, my soldiers and me. You know, we believe since over a half year in our faith and we do not regret it. Now is my question, what do you want? You want that the nightmares stop? Oh.. right. You never met my bad side before, right? Now you do. I'm sorry but without this side we can't get new dark soldiers.
This nightmares won't stop while you are flying around with this Navy ship, this nightmares won't stop if you don't join the dark side or if I stop this curse. But I don't want. You're perfect for our fleet and I know it. Its like I told you before, I can offer you a lot of dark guns, dark ships, a good and safefull place and not only that! You can even believe in a faith which safe you anytime. If you will believe strong enough in our faith, nobody can hurt you. I will let you go in a room, it is a dark room where you can't see anything. You will need it for thinking about our future. Trust me.
[font=Times New Roman]Manuel is more powerful day by day, and he even manages to curse people at all times. This time he has put a curse on Thaler again...
Thaler is some minutes in the dark room and suddenly he fall in sleep. First he is in a very shiny room. This room was very huge, but he saw just white colors. Suddenly, comes a flash, and it gets darker. Getting darker second by second. Thaler hear voices, first it sounds like more voices. That must be ghosts, fallen people who are jailed in a dark room where he is. What is this for a dark room? Where he is there. Suddenly he see some meters away from him a figure. He is trying to go very careful to this figure, but she disappear. He turn around, and he see the same again. The figure is defenitely a dead human, he looks burned, tortured and the face completely disfigured. The voices are now good to understand, and this ghost which looks like a death angel begin to speak very quiet to Thaler... it is a ghost sound, everywhere echoes and other quiet voices. It sounds like a lot of ghosts which whispers to each other. The ghost which stay in front of Thaler speaks..
Thaaa-leeeeer..... *long echo* Y-ou must get.... out of.....heee-reeeeeee. The daaark-neeees isn't the right place for....you. There is.... a curse on you. The only.....way.. to come...out...of....here.....is...
[font=Book Antiqua]Bryan recognized the voice of Manuel, the voice from weeks ago. Even terrified to the point of being unable to move, he still felt some weird quiet content that the wild guess of drawing the connection was not wrong and coming all this way is not in vain.
No, bad or good it may turn, but is was not in vain.
The figure. It's... dead, but at the same time alive. Bryan has to muster all his willpower to not turn and run. The only thing keeping him from that is the feeling that there is no place to run.
As the ghost speaks, Thaler takes a step back, but then forces himself to stand still and listen. He tries to speak the ghost, but the right words don't come easy to him.
"I... yes, this is not the right place. I need to... get out, no wait... I need my nightmares to stop. That's why I'm here. There must be a way.. I know that. I mean... I wouldn't be here without a reason... There must be a way. I just want all this to end so I can go back to my life"
