Nestled in the most desolate sector of space lies a spiral galaxy bathed in an eerie mist. Although beautiful in sight, the galaxy holds a deep, dark secret.
Out of 850 billion planets in this galaxy, only 500 million are inhabited, all by mammals cut off from the rest of the Aniverse, forbidden to demonstrate magic outside their order, and forbidden to explore.
At Galactic Central Point is the largest of all planets, making Jupiter look like a grain of rice. This is the Forbidden Star, the planet from which the Prime Elder rules this galaxy. And with her iron fist, keeping all subjects under her thumb is the scheming leader, Blackfire VI.

XL6 slowly reversed thrust as she eased up alongside the galaxy just far enough to glimpse it without being sucked in by gravity.
Unknown to the XL6, Blunderbird 3 was not far behind, and was following suit purely to try and help, even though its very presence spelt catastrophe.

Fang stood up and looked out the window. He looked at teh system adn then at Raven.
"A place of such beauty causing so much pain. That explains the foreboding feeling that seems to eminate from this place." Fang thought as he looked back out the window.
He gently ran a hand over the mace handle on his left side, making the flail side wave gently, bumping into his side.
"I hope that Brian has wised up and went else where before causing trouble." Fang whispered quietly.

Raven awoke from her trance with a worried look.
"We've been given permission to land at The Forbidden Star itself!" she spoke in a surprised tone.
"Is that odd or is it just coincidence?" Corporal asked.
"The Prime Elder can scan and search this ship from the comfort of her throne," Raven explained. "After over 180 years, outsiders are being granted entrance to the palace?"
The XL6 glided slowly down towards Galactic Central Point, and found a massive, magenta-coloured planet before them. By comparison, the XL6 to this planet was like a basketball next to a speck of dust. A beacon of light flashed on the surface and Raven pointed to it, stating that was the location of the palace.
"Looks like they want us to come on in." Corporal muttered, and glided the spacecraft down until they were directly overhead of a grand, luxurious palace. A spacious hangar, large enough for the whole length of Fireball XL6 lay before them, and XL6 slowly eased up and landed gently.

Fang looked around adn shook his head.
"Ive got abad feeling. Maybe it is teh location or how this place feels to me, but something feels wrong." He growled gently as he kept looking around. "It doesn't feel right here."
He looked at Raven as he kept running his had over the mace, taking some comfort of it presence.

"You'd best put those away," advised Raven. "They don't take kindly to weapons around here."
Outside, a four-armed black duck was awaiting them. Her choice of clothing suggested that she was both strong and powerful. Her violet eyes scrutinised the hatch as it opened, and Raven walked out followed by Fang and Corporal.
"Raven, it is good to see you again," the duck spoke suavely and shook Ravens' hand. Raven said nothing, knowing that this was certainly not normal for the Chieftain of a spiritual race. The duck then turned her sights on Fang.
"Welcome to the Occultas Galaxy," she quacked, gripping Fangs' arm tightly. "I am Blackfire 6th, the Prime Elder for our order. Please come inside and rest. We shall speak shortly."
As they walked in, Blackfire spoke through telepathy to a guard in the bay.
Take care of that red eyesore up above. she ordered, and the guard went into a small control room and switched on a radar, where Blunderbird 3 was circling the planet up in space.

WIth a wave of his hand, Fang made the weapons vanish. He watched as Raven walked up to teh duck and his eyes narrowed as he watched her talk with everyone.
"Something about her. SOmething dark or cold." He thought as eh watched her.
HE fell in step behind COrporal and slid a viel over his face and secured it into his upper leather shirt, to hid the fangs that stuck out of his mouth. He resembled one of Kamikaze's ninjas now.

Inside the Grand Palace, Blackfire addressed two guards to take Raven and Corporal to a different room.
"Take them to the Common Room," she ordered. "I shall join with you later, Raven dear." Corporal looked suspicious. "Miss, I feel..." he began, but Blackfire interrupted him. "Hush, now! We'll discuss it in a moment! Now, Fang," Blackfire turned to Fang after quickly scanning his mind. "Please follow me as I wish to speak to you alone."
She enticed Fang up a spiral staircase and into a small sitting room.
Outside, Blunderbird 3 was having a hard time, the guards on the ground had cast a frightening spell, spinning the ship around in a hurricane. As Macey gripped tightly to the controls, he was able to fire his boosters in the opposite direction and was able to touch down safely out of the tornados' grasp.

Fand nodded and followed her cautiusly up the stairs. He took the time to study everything as he went. When they reached teh sitting room, he calmly crossed his arms and studied her.
"ANd what do i owe the honor to having a private audience with you for?" He asked calmly as he watched her.

"Not much, just that I know a lot about you, and your actions with Nosferretu," Blackfire gave a sly grin. "Don't think we in this galaxy cannot read minds, but I take interest in vampirism."
She sat alongside him, but not too close as to arouse suspicion.
"I have read of vampires within The Galleon Scrolls, and I recall a tale of one who used his curse to do good amongst other people, but he was misjudged as the result of being a vampire himself, just like you."
"But," Blackfire went on. "I think that I hold the very solution so that you will not end up impaled on a spike like that unfortunate man. If you are interested..."
Raven and Corporal sat in the Common Room alone. Raven was staring down at the burning fireplace while Corporal sat on the sofa.
"I don't understand all of this," Raven muttered aloud. "This is all wrong! To begin with, you and Fang are the first outsiders since Blackfires' coronation to enter The Forbidden Star, and why would she want to speak to Fang alone?"
"I take it you think she's up to something," Corporal answered. "Well, if yes, I suggest we do a little exploring." he smiled, and Raven understood his logic.
Brian was badly hurt. His ship was damaged, he was lost in a pinkish desert, and the only way to get help would be to head towards his destroyers. "If I wasn't so careless in the past, maybe aid would be rushing to me by now." he spoke to no-one in particular, and limped slowly towards the palace.

Fang looked at her, on guard as she spoke of vampirism.
"You think you have an answer to all of my problems?" He asked slightly amused. "A lot of my problems died with Noseferretu, when I finally killed him, with the aid of Miss. Raven and Coporal."
He stood up and walked around a little bit, not disrespecting the duck and never truly turning his back on her.
"I am interested in your story though, Miss. BlackFire. Who was this indiviaul and wehn was he?" He asked curiusly. "and just how are you going to stop me from getting killed?"

"Simple," Blackfire grinned as Fang put himself in interrogation mode. "The vampires' name was Count Jugular, and he was killed after being betrayed by his two closest friends. Did it ever occur to you that Raven and her curious boyfriend might be talking about you behind your back?"
She slowly began a hypnosis spell, bringing Fang into a trance. "Surely you won't let them get away with it." she added, placing her hand on Fangs' shoulder, and drawing him closer to her.
By now, Raven and Corporal were lurking amidst shadows trying to elude the guards. Even if this was her homeworld, Raven still didn't trust anyone or anything. Eventually, she found a small room which was presumable Blackfires' bedroom.
On a small podium was a small papyrus scroll, and on it were a few incantations, with some crossed out and others rewritten alongside. On top of the scroll in capital letters was the word DRAFT.
"That's it!" Raven spluttered. "She's rewriting the laws, a crime ten-amount to genocide!"
By now, Brian had reached the front of the palace, where the guards were at work sabotaging Fireball XL6, so slipping past them was no problem. After reaching the entrance, Brian took to the sewers and set to work finding Blackfire and the others before it was too late...

Suddenly to BlackFire's surprise, Fang grabbed her ahnd and gently, but firmly removed it from his shoulder.
"They may be talking about me behind my back and i accept it. That is their choice. Miss. Raven ahs already made it clear she doesn't trust me, because of what i am. I don't appreciate mind games. I"ve dealt with them enough already." HE said firmly adn let go of her hand.

Blackfire was surprised that Fang was immune to her hypnosis.
I need to find a different angle. His achilles heel must be somewhere! he thought.
"What a shame," Blackfire spoke seductively. "Because by first appearance, you seem to be quite a charmer. Surely you must have a desire for something."
She moved even closer to him. "Haven't you ever been alone in the world? Haven't you ever wanted to be among your own kind? Perhaps even fall in love?"
She planted a kiss on Fangs' lips. "Because I can promise you this. You'll have me and two vampire companions dafe from harm within this palace should you decide." Blackfire did not budge from Fang this time, and kept her own lips barely a few millimetres from Fangs'.

Fang suddenly dissolved adn reappeared a few feet away from her.
"For your own safety, i would advise you should not get that close to my chin." Fang said through his mask. "As for my kind, they are dead. I killed the last one myself. I will kill any other vampire i find. You seem like a lovely lady, but you don't want someone like me."
Down in the main courtroom, a pillar of blackflames erupt adn Iko, now wearing her mask steps out of it. Her eyes dart around adn she takes note of the guards.
