Unsatisfied with Jessie's answer Vex tried calling her name to wake her up, but she was already in a deep sleep and not going to wake up anytime soon.
Vex twiddled with his hair some more. "Guess all I can do then is get some sleep." Lucius whimpered, nudging his master's head as Vex positioned himself in a semi-comfortable position on the nearby boxes. "Hey buddy, you should get some sleep too. Let that wound heal up some more." Lucius licked his master's face and walked in a circle a few times, before curling up into a ball on the floor. Vex wiped the slobber off his face and closed his eyes. The roar of the engines as the ship took off was strangely calming and Vex could feel himself drifting off to sleep.
Then, Vex felt the ship lurch, tossing him off the boxes and onto the ground. He looked around rubbing his head but Jessie nor Lucius were anywhere to be found. He got up dusting himself off and unlocked the door. He then covered his nose and mouth to mask the odor. Soldiers dead bodies lined the halls. Their flesh rotting. They looked like they had been there for months, but they couldn't of been.
"We just got on this ship," Vex exclaimed stepping in-between the gaps of the dead soldiers and making his way down the hall. When he reached the end of the hall and turned there was someone he could make out at the far end of the next hallway. "Hey!" Vex shouted. But the person didn't move. So, Vex figured he would go to them. But being cautious of course, discreetly hiding his right hand behind his back, activating the fire insignia.
Even when he had reached the person and was a foot away, their back was still turned to him. He then reached out his left hand to lightly tap them on the shoulder, but they quickly spun around, grabbing Vex's face with their hands. Vex didn't have time to react or didn't know how to rather, because the face he was staring into was his dead boyfriend's. His eyes completely white, and decay riddled across his face.
"L-l-li?!" Vex stammered.
Li opened his mouth to speak, speaking as if possessed by some inner being.
"The eyes are watching, their effervescent song, will three hearts beat, or will there be none? The legs turn right, the legs turn left, who's to know the outcome at best. Fur this, fur that, the one who knows is the secret cat. Girl or boy, doesn't matter you see, for the they both contain the powers that be."
Then Li's jaw opened, pouring an ocean of shadows into the interior of the ship.
Vex jolted awake again, rolling off the boxes and bumping into Lucius making him yelp in surprise. "You okay buddy?" He asked patting him on the head. "Boy, that was a weird dream....."

Vex sighed in accordance with what Jessie had just said. "I hate guys that snore, so unattractive. So, what are we waiting for? We already know it's a trap, so let's just barge in." Vex could feel Jessie tug at as pants as he burst through the doors and into the Emperor's chambers. He froze as his face was met with the barrel of a gun, it's owner, the elite guard they had seen earlier.
"Well, well, well, I've been expecting you. Please don't looked so shocked, you thought your little hideout in the cargo hold when unnoticed?" His helmet head turned to look at Jessie. "You really must work on being a better assassin. Going out for food? Please. And you," he said addressing Lucius as he scampered in. "I should have killed you when I had the chance, apparently the emperor has a soft spot for animals, or he just wanted to save you for himself."
Vex could feel a sly grin form under all that armor and scowled.
"Tch, scowling at me isn't helping your situation, boy," the guard snapped back. "But then I guess, neither is this." The guard then turned the gun from Vex to the door controls on the Emperor's quarters, firing. Which hit the controls causing the door to automatically dead-bolt. Not letting anything in, or anything out. The gang's mouth's dropped....including Lucius's. The guard then holstered his gun, lifting his hands up to unfasten his helmet and take it out. A mass of messy brown hair flopped out accompanied by a rather soft smile and bright green eyes. "Now, how shall we kill this creep? Quickly or let him suffer?"

The guy replied, "Who am I? What does that matter? I just want the Emperor dead as much as you guys do, and I'm willing to help you do it. That's all. Don't think we're friends just because of this."
Vex sighed. "Can we at least know your name? Oh, mysterious one?"
He paused, seeming to think whether he should tell them or not. "You can call me...Urie."
Vex gave him a puzzled look. "Is that even your real name?"
Urie laughed, "Who knows? Now, let's get on with this mission."
Vex scowled at him again. There was just something about his personality that irritated him to his very core. But, he couldn't help but noticing Urie's extraordinary physique. Even with all that armor on. He shook his head thinking to himself. "No Vex, you can't do this right now! You have to focus on the Emperor, not on the man candy. Focus!"
Urie noticed Vex shaking his head. "Um, you okay there special kid? I don't want you going all "nutters" on me when we do this."
Vex frowned. "I'm fine." And Urie turned away from them to survey the Emperor's motionless body laying on his royal bed. "No, I'm not fine." Vex told himself again as he found himself staring at Urie's backside.
