Description

"Sir, you asked to see me?"

"Drop the formalities, my beloved friend and sit down. There's something I need to ask you. You know what my whole "big plan" has been about?"

"Ridding the galaxy... No, the universe from evil."

"You make it sound so simple. But you know there's more to it, right? I've come to learn that the line between "good and evil" is sometimes... Flexible. From the point of view of many, I am a villain, a murderer... A destroyer of worlds. But my intents are pure. Unlike many, I am willing to do bad things to accomplish good ones. Not once have I thought about doing something out of pure evil as many seem to think."

"Sargo... Do you suspect me of not believing in you?"

"I know you believe in me, friend. But do you believe in my mission?"

"Of course I do but..."

"Sorry, let me rephrase: do you believe in HOW I am accomplishing my mission?"

"Well... I mean with absolutely no disrespect, but... Your allies, they're not exactly known for their "good deeds" in their respective galaxies. For example, the Materux. They are cold, unfeeling machines of logic and numbers. They're out for themselves, nobody else. And the Venox? Exactly the same... And that new allie of yours, Zeador Zsiik... He's just plain out insane."

"I understand your way of seeing things completely. But let me ask you: are guns good or bad?"

"What..?"

"Think about it for a second. That's what my allies are to me: guns. All I have to do is point them at a right direction. I just got to make sure I don't end up pointing myself: the Materux, the Venox, Zeador Zsiik and who else: they are "good" as long as I'm using them against my enemies. Of course, I am prepared in case my weapons decide to go rogue... I wouldn't have allied myself with things much more powerful than me if I didn't have some sort of leverage over them. The Venox in all their power don't have the capability of traveling between galaxies. I will provide them that once they've helped me achieve my goals first. Zeador Zsiik is insane, but I know just how to manipulate him to use that senseless rage of his towards something productive. And the Materux... Well, they're a concern of my "advisor". Now, I'll ask you again: do you believe in how I'm getting things done?"

"You've... Made me see things more clearly, Sargo. I trust now completely in your way of doing things. You've changed how I now see... Everything. I have only one question: what evil are we exactly getting rid of in the end?"

"The worst kind: those who are stuck believing in the concept of good and evil. Most of all... Captains. But now that you understand my way of doing things, there's something I might need your help with in the future... In case I die. I have nobody else I can trust with this, not even my advisor. Perhaps my wife, but... She already beat me to the other side."

"I... I'm so sorry Sargo, I didn't know... But what kind of task do you need my help with... After you've died?"

"Someone must carry on my legacy. A vision of a world without captains, without "heroes and villains". If I am to die, I want you to find my children and let them take on the mantle of supreme-commander. The Verne bloodline will be the one to purify this world from scum."

"That's not a small task, Sargo. Your children aren't exactly growing up as warriors from what I've heard. Xuukyz wants to become a singer, and... Sbaaz-Buz the very thing you've vowed to destroy: a captain."

"I know the size of your task, but... I trust you can see it through. And in case you can't... I hope you can find someone else to, my friend. Now, to ensure that you won't be killed alongside me, I've put you in charge of a task-force heading to Lennotonlisko's galaxy. Continue my mission there, and if/when I die, begin finding and training my successor."

"As you wish, Sargo."

Year after Sargo was defeated in the hands of a group of captains, chief Zionis was arrested by the LLPF [LennotonLisko's Police Force] and sentenced to life imprisonment.
