Max ran down a long corridor towards a bridge that was near him, from there he spotted the Outlander and a group of Knights fighting one another. It seemed that the woman named Lana had gotten back onto her feet and was fighting alongside the Outlander, Max looked at their forms with the unknown weapon and noticed that it was used similar to his favourite weapon on Earth, the longs sword.
Intrigued he asked Maggy " Do you have any information on the weapons that they are using to fight the Knights? I feel like I would have a natural affinity with them due to my experience with swords back on Earth."
* Master the weapon they are using is referred to as a Lightsaber in the galaxy, The lightsaber is the signature weapon of the Jedi Order and their Sith counterparts, both of whom can use them for melee combat or deflect blaster bolts, a lightsaber's energy blade can cut, burn, and melt through most substances with little resistance. It leaves cauterised wounds in flesh but can be deflected by another lightsaber blade, or by energy shields. I highly recommend that you learn this alongside the uses of the force.*
Max smiled but shuddered for a split second, he took a look at the Outlander and saw the image of an older man in battle armour guiding the Outlander's movements. The 'ghost' put Max on edge, every time he glanced at he felt as if he was staring at death itself, knowing that the Outlander was compromised in some way. Max made a vow to himself to always have a way out if he sided with the Outlander in this conflict, he didn't want to face the power of the 'ghost' if he could avoid it however he was also aware that he most likely would have too at some point.
Max was broken out of his train of thought by the sounds of people running toward his location from a nearby building, he knew that the Outlander would be his best of leaving the planet for now however he felt a connection to it and knew that he would one day return here. He decided to conserve his ability to fight for later and jumped off of the bridge landing on the same platform the Outlander and Lana were standing on.
He rose to his feet quickly and said " Good morning Sleepy head" to Lana before turning to the Outlander and whispering" I know that you harbour some sort of ghost within you and it gives you strength in combat however it will try to consume your soul and take over your body. I suggest you tell your other allies sooner rather than later to avoid potential issues,. I'm going to be tagging along with you two for now until we leave the planet, I have my own plans once we get to a spaceport."
Lana had killed the last Knight while Max was talking to the Outlander, she ran at Max with her crimson red lightsaber drawn and swung for his head. Max's fire armour instantly activated and absorbed most of the momentum of the swing, causing it to burn his hair but nothing more. Max smiled and said," I can kill you know before you can move from that spot, I'm the dragon of Zakuul while -"
An unknown and cold laughing voice said"He is not the dragon of Zakuul, that is my title that he has usurped after my death, he has no idea what the real dragon of Zakuul can do if given the chance. I have ruled empires that have stood the test of time while he is what a pup that has a special connection to fire?"
Max laughed and turned around and looked the ghost dead in the eyes and said" I'm alive while you are piggybacking on the living to remain relevant, I suggest you stop doing the majestic dragon a disservice by using its name. Right now you are stronger than me ghost but that will not always be the way and when the scales tilt in my favour I will kill you myself."
The 'ghost' smiled and said" It seems that you are not the only one who knows of my continued existence Outlander, I will leave this pup alive for now as his potential is significant enough to help you stop my son. You hear that pup, I'm going to let you live, go and celebrate your life while you can."
Max laughed and said" I shall celebrate for both of us as it seems you can't do it for yourself, I know you can give your power to the Outlander however if they show signs of giving in to your corruption I will slay them myself. Now I believe we have an extraction waiting for us correct?"
