[Music plays: National Anthem (http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/gba/Fire_Emblem_WithIntro2.mid) ]

“Pity.” Kar August said mournfully, “It will be a shame to kill you, but if you desire a noble death, so be it.” Motioning to two guards Daniel was led away from the room. Kar August rose from his seat, his slim head almost touching the metallic roof, a grave expression forming on his face the Kamian sighed and finally dictated the death of Daniel Masaki. “For the record.” August began. “ I have found you guilty of treason, murder, and espionage, you will be executed by firing squad at twelve hundred hours Coruscant standard time, two hours from now. I suggest you make peace with whatever gods you pray to, there is no one to help you now.” August turned his back as Daniel was dragged from the room.
"Just make sure they do it right." I shot back.

The time would pass bye slowly, storm troopers patrolled the cell, droids were stationed at every corner, and energy fields were engaged to prevent the movement of intruders. As a small act of generosity August had allowed Daniel a last meal, Bantha Burger, fires, coke and a recently manufactured cheesecake, a small show of pity from the Galaxies current ruler. As Daniel finished the last of his food a group of troopers entered the cell. “Daniel Masaki, come with us.” The voices were harsh, almost as cold as the stone walls surrounding the aristocrat, taken from his cell Daniel was led further up into the complex, towards the courtyard outside.

Fighters patrolled the skies, missile turrets lined the walls and clones were everywhere, to rescue the imprisoned prince would require an army, the clones had now become all to aware of the Jedi’s tricks.
"Quite a big army for little ol' me." I smirked. I tried to concentrate one last time, not to escape, but to be one with the Force. The inhibitor buzzed and buzzed in anger, drilling agony into my brain, but I was beyond pain, and that was why I was able to electrically overload it, even as blood dribbled down my forehead when the spikes tried to drill in, but failed.

Marched into the courtyard Daniel was forced to line up against the back wall, holo cameras recording his every move. From the other side several troopers took aim, their blasters targeting separate places of the Jedis body to insure an almost instantaneous death. Without warning, the blue energy bolts discharged.

High above in his tower Kar August watched the execution, the live feed from the holo cameras was most satisfying, as Daniel fell to the ground August felt a wave of satisfaction flow over him.
Even as they did so, time seemed to slow down as I managed called on the Force one last time. Again, I wasn't here to escape, but to exact Justice for the murders of millions the Empire have committed. To their astonishment, I blocked the blaster bolts with the Force and pushed them away so I could cast my ultimate spell upon Kar August and his many cronies...Nova Bolt.

"..." Alex Masaki saw the holofeed (sent all over the galaxy, so that "I would be the example to traitors") on the small screen in the gunship, then he smiled as he sensed a great buildup in Force energy, a buildup normally reserved for becoming one with the Force, but this was special. "I'll see you in the next world...Daniel Masaki."

-----

A harsh wind suddenly sprang up around me, a wind of energy as I built up energy beyond my body's ability to handle it. I looked up at the holocameras, as electricity curled around my hands, around my body. "I warned you, Kar August. You have sown the wind. Now you shall reap the whirlwind!"

Yoda would say that I've become a luminous being as I focused all my energy into the largest ball of electricity ever seen in the galaxy, about the size of a speeder. More blaster bolts rippled out to stop me, but I threw the ball of electricity high in the air...then I disappeared when the blaster bolts finally caught me, destroying my body, but certainly useless against my spirit.

The ball of electricity rose into the air. Thunder rumbled as clouds swirled overhead and lightning struck the ball. Lightning gathered in the ball, in classic Death Star or Independence Day fashion, then at the right point, it literally smashed down upon the courtyard and expanded...expanded...exploded.

The nuclear-level explosion could be seen from space.

The electrical oversurge would short out every Force inhibitor on Coruscant, rendering them useless. It would consume Kar August, as I promised, and his many clonetroopers. It will EMP just about every shield generator on the planet, and it would short out the statis field entraping my brothers. It may even overload electrical generators, but those aren't my targets. In the end, it was an explosion of light and energy of the likes which never will be seen again. The huge mushroom cloud rose triumphant over the Imperial Palace.

"I give my life for my family and my friends. I give my life for my people. I give my life for the galaxy...and the Force. I, Daniel Alexander Masaki can do no less to end the evil that is the Galactic Empire." My last words were sent everywhere, to every person in the galaxy and beyond. No one can claim they didn't hear it. Indeed, even in death, I remain victorious...

OOC: It's mainly for Unified Sith, Wick and me, but this thread is open for responses to my death, which is most likely televised galaxywide. The last words would also be useful to send condolences and what not.

With the announcement across the galaxy, the Admirals of the fleet knew there would be retribution. They forced an evacuation of as many people as the fleet could handle, which was a considerable several million civilians, and one by one they jumped into hyperspace to scatter across the galaxy. It is quite possibly the end of Coreworlds...as we know it of course.

Issus was the easiest to evacuate due to the Stargate and the fact that there's only 500,000 dragons and sentient dinosaurs and a tiny number of 50,000 humans and other related species. DNA from dinosaurs too large to fit were extracted and sent with the equipment to pull a new 'Jurassic Park', as many people call the procedure. Once the last people would go, to link to earthside Coredia and other places where Stargates were, the Issus gate would be locked until Coreworlds was once again a powerful nation.

Konoha was already mostly evacuated and all but a token number of shinobi and civilians left the system, taking down the shipyards to rebuild it elsewhere and once again cutting it off from the rest of the galaxy using a special spell Tsunade knows. Katua and Kyoto are a joint-protectorate of Coreworlds and Kanuckistan, and many refugees set down roots there because of that extra protection as well as it being the closest planet to Jurai, adding to the protection. Tenetia was the hardest to evacuate, but the President and a million other civilians managed to find a way out and headed to Jurai as well.

However, only a total of 25 million citizens of Coreworlds were able to get out of the borders and become the Refugee Republic of Coreworlds. The rest of the millions had no way to escape and were sorrowfully forced to stay and struggle against whatever retribution the Empire brings upon them.

Two powerful beings pondered the death of Daniel Masaki; one with a cruel and calculating malice; the other with wry chuckle, as the earth about him shook.

The Emperor, Marcus De Drakan, smiled lightly; so, the Empire was returning, and at last the boy Masaki was dead; no longer able to defy the powers that be. He was content then; to open his mind to...Peace, perhaps. A word to the new Emperor would ensure that this war could turn to a more productive vantage point....the Imperium was getting involved in too many conflicts, too many conflicts with which to splinter and spread its influence...it was time for a new beginning.

The other, was Chronos; Sith Lord; who watched with something akin to awe as Daniel Masaki passed into legend; turning to Nightshade. "It is done then; and now, we must secure your rule upon all the Core Worlds; for only then can we stand as equals to my Master...It is your will, Lady, that guides us now."

"Hmm. Perhaps it was meant to be..." Nightshade said, looking at her brother's funeral pyre, still rising into the air. Such a powerful Jedi...there won't be another one like him for a long while. "Come, we must act quickly and consolidate power. Let us find a ship off this planet."

"My ship is already waiting; you forget I was readying to leave this sphere as their attack began." He led her through the city; through the streets wracked by fighting, anguish and pain heavy in the air; fuelling his spirit. "Where is our destination? What is our first step?"

Tag. Pity Daniel died...I had a chance of good relations with him. Mind if I have the reactions of a couple of Yaforite Jedi?

"My ship is already waiting; you forget I was readying to leave this sphere as their attack began." He led her through the city; through the streets wracked by fighting, anguish and pain heavy in the air; fuelling his spirit. "Where is our destination? What is our first step?"
"Our first step would be to fill the leadership vacuum made by both Masaki and the Supreme Chancellor. Coreworlds' remaining fleet will be scattered across the galaxy like lost banthas, easy prey for the wolves such as the Imperial Navy. The Imperial Navy itself will be likewise fragmented, easy to control with the Force. We must be able to use the confusion to our advantage. Rein in and control the warlords that pop up, so to speak."

OOC: Of course! That's what this thread is for!

OOC: Added the National Anthem on top.

"We of Corneliu have condemned this act of murder of Daniel Masaki. His memory will live on in our history. I send my condolences out to his family and a warning to his murders. You have killed a member of our family. You have made an enemy of Corneliu and of the Server Family. You shall not sleep knowing that orders were sent to hunt you down and to take revenge for his death." President John Server of Corneliu.

"Draconis Nightcrawlis is saddened by the passing of a very close ally. If it were not for Daniel Masaki, along with his family and friends, our nation would still be under Azazel’s rule. We will hold a week of mourning for our lost friend."

King Kurt II of Draconis Nightcrawlis

"The death of Daniel Masaki is a great loss to all of us. He was a great person who risked his life to help others. Even his death helps the fight against evil. We shall miss him dearly." Ageaol Agea

Narthaus was in a deep meditation when the last words reached him, "So be it..." Escaped from his lips.

"Mom?"

Race stood knucling his eyes, looking far younger than his all but twelve years of age, framed in the hallways light as it poured through the doorway into my bedroom

"I've got to go find Daniel, there's stuff he has to teach me."

"Who's Daniel?"

I didn't know any one named Daniel, and poor son he was just as isolated as I was, and I knew by heart the entire list of people that had any chance of being around him. Not a Daniel on it.

I give my life for my family and my friends. I give my life for my people. I give my life for the galaxy...and the Force. I, Daniel Alexander Masaki can do no less to end the evil that is the Galactic Empire

The words resounded in my head and I cursed, as a great sadness filled me

OOC: Looks like it's nearly time for Race to be trained! 12 years old is the PERFECT time to start training.

I was half-heartedly watching the Holo-Net news broadcast sent through the Twilight Hyper-TCG trying to block out the loud rock music one of Eta Squad's members had thrown on. I was about to turn it off and go back to my designs when the feed was suddenly interupted.

"Hey turn that down." I yelled at the man running the stereo. He tried to argue but my look stopped him in his tracks and he quickly complied.

On the projector was one Daniel Masaki about to be executed. I watched as the troopers shot, only to have their shots blocked and be vaporized by Masaki's nuclear self-immolation.

Elena spoke up, "So mister super-Jedi went and blew himself up huh? That's too bad, I always wanted to punch the guy."

I smiled, "It's too bad that he died?"

"Well no not that. But I really did find him unbearably annoying." She answered.

I laughed, "Yeah me too. It would have been fun to sack him with a baseball bat."

Elena joined my laughter, "Yeah. Too bad for his family although it will help our plans. The last thing we needed was that annoying superman poking his nose in our mission." She paused, "Speaking of which you hear anything on when that's launching?"

"As soon as we get the ship built Elena, as soon as we get the ship built."

OOC: CW I'd like an RP involving the associated SW galaxy nations if at all possible.

Emergency Interim Government Headquarters
Newly Re-designated Capital Second Miltia

All the video monitors around the new capital. Many of the refugee camps had large projectors set up to show the live news feed pertaining to the death and sacrifice of a great ally to the nation of -Noir-. It was only a month ago -Noir-'s previous capitol, Miltia, was completely overrun by the out of control Realian scourge. In addition with the loss of -Noir-'s beloved Chancellor, who had continued to protect the close ties between -Noir- and Coreworlds since his father and his father's father; the public morale had dropped exponentially.

Tears were shed in the make shift Senate building, by the Senators and other government officials old enough to remember the glory days of Coreworlds and -Noir- in their fight against the Sith. The Senators that made it out of Miltia crowded around the main view screen in Second Miltia's City capitol building.

OOC: short post, would have wanted to make it longer but it's getting late

GANN Nwes Desk: ~ The Ascendancy Holy Council has released this combined statement regarding the event of the apparent murder if the Master Jedi Daniel Masaki.

*Shot of Lord Keiichi Morisato, interem Council leader*

"We of the Ascendancy Republic, after learning of this act, condemn those that have caused this pain in the first place, as a barbaric act, and place condemnation as the message.

As users of the Hikari Power, we felt the disturbance, and felt shame for those that would take a life in such a manner.

We will repeat this as necessary to ensure this message is heard."

...with a good portion of the Council engaged in battle at this time in Deatharon, the message is meant for only words as the weapon, as further is detained at the moment. The Ascendancy knows this, but felt a message had to be made, however minor in effect. ~

OOC: I'm trying to figure out the yield of Masaki's death explosion. You said the explosion was visible from space but since any nuclear level explosion is visible from space that's a useless tidbit. So I figured that maybe it was seen from space for quite some time, like 1 minute. That would make it a yield of aproximately 315 megatons.

This would have a 59.9 second duration fireball wit a minimum radius of 4.3 km. This would make it's approximate ground surface area 58 km^2. Now if we assume Coruscant has a population density equivalent to that of Hong Kong, which is a conservative estimate, we have a population density of about 98,000 people/km^2. And since everything inside a fireball is vaporized that would mean Mr. Masaki vaporized ~5,692,628 people and killed ~103,104,620 by other means when he blew himself up. If true that would make him one of the greates mass murderers of all time.

That is a fairly high estimate and would be good for an upper limit. A lower limit would be closer to about a 1 megaton yield I think.

That would mean he vaporized ~56,926 people and propbably killed about 2,244,416 via other means.

He really should have thought that through no?

OOC: Considering the "nuke" was lightning-based as per Daniel's specialty, most of the damage is EMP-related. Of course, anyone a couple klicks of ground zero (I took out the Imperial Palace, I believe) is still fried to a crisp, but from lightning damage, mainly. Fires are secondary effects, not primary.

Doesn't matter. If you release that much energy the effects are going to be similar to a nuclear detonation. That means a fireball and high atmospheric overpressure. I didn't bother with things like 3rd degree burns which would happen or ionizing radiation which wouldn't be much of a problem in this case.

Which means Daniel killed at least tens of thousands of people since Coruscant is hyper-developed.

OOC: Yeah, that's a nasty price to pay for killing off the evil Supreme Chancellor... :(

The murder and slaughter of thousands of innocents is intolerable to the Galactic Empire, this has only strengthened the emperors will to hunt down and destroy every last Jedi. We are glad that the nation of Xessmithia has seen the evil and threat the Jedi pose to Galactic security.

Daniel Masaki is one of the Empires greatest mass murderers and as a result revenge will be swift.

OOC: Okay guys, I think I’ll settle this. Coreworlds explosion was not like any normal nuke, (Put it down to the force) the palace was quite properly fried, well a good portion of it, and the surrounding areas. However….. Coruscant although its built up the Palace is in the government district which is sparsely populated with residential accommodation. However, Coreworlds ECM pulse will have killed millions, all those traffic cars suddenly shutting down, power stations detonating, energy spikes form controls, the death toll runs into the millions but not the billions.

OOC Bugger...whats happening to that planet Crystal is on CW? I can NOT have her die, she is needed so much its not funny.

IC The Empress watched the feed, a slight tear in her eye. She patched it through to Samuel, knowing full well the reaction would be a sad thing to miss. She sent a message back to Jenifer on Valana, before lifting up her Nalicent Rifle and fired a salvo at the chaos force before her.

Jenifer sighed, repaching the message through to Issus.
