The Emperor's Domain.
Five bloodless Yautja warriors waited anxiously in a sleek jet-black drop pod. It was a blooding hunt, they were only allowed to use five pieces of equipment, all of them identical, a combi-stick, wrist blades, disk, plasma caster and net gun. If they survived they would become fully blooded warriors, and they would have the honor associated with such a title.
The altimeter flashed down rapidly as the pod streaked through the atmosphere at a super sonic speed, with a violent lurch it smashed against the ground, leaving a crater in the damp jungle ground. The five Yautja cautiously emerged; it was not uncommon for the hard meat to have already spread out amongst the jungle and attack unsuspecting warriors, massacring them completely. With a few conformations the group spread out, running towards the nearby ancient temple city, for all their caution non of them noticed the lack of all animal life on what was supposed to be a planet thriving with all manner of organisms.
The leader of the group raised his hand, motioning the others to stop; a jet black shape had unexpectedly skirted the edge of his vision. He sniffed at the air, trying to detect the damp bitter scent of hard meat, however the vegetation made any one particular scent extremely difficult to pick out. Suddenly the ground underneath collapsed into a massive hole. Bloodied and beaten four of the five Yautja survived the unexpected turn of event; scanning the area they noticed an extremely large tunnel leading off towards the main temple. With no other option the four remaining Yautja picked their way down the tunnel, searching for any sign of movement. The tunnel curved down and to the left, the air getting hotter and more humid the further they went, the other end of the tunnel was long out of sight, leaving the hunters in a pitch black and utterly alien environment. The further they went the more anxious and nervous they got, without knowing it they were weakening, their senses dulling and relaxing without them knowing. After an hour the far off rush of a waterfall could be heard, a sound they had not expected to hear, but then again they couldn't really tell where they actually were either, the use of unavailability of tracking equipment denying them this most crucial information. After another ten minutes of tense stalking the tunnel opened up into an underground cavern. An unknown source of light illuminated the large deep pool that, and the small waterfall cascading down from the ceiling. Billions of diamonds glittered like stars, casting an ethereal light upon the scene; massive golden stalactites dotted the roof and floor, adding to the beautiful splendor of the spacious cavern. The four hunters stared in wonderment at the sight before them, such a place was beyond imagination, the glory of the cavern dwarfed that of even the emperor's palace.
"My power dwarfs his as well." A deep and utterly evil voice said from somewhere in the room, the sound echoing off the majestic walls. "Now that you have laid your pathetic mortal eyes upon my domain you will do something for me." The voice said. The language was utterly alien and yet they could understand every word, a purplish black energy engulfed them and the hunters felt as if they were entombed within their bodies, unable to do anything except look on at the horrendous things they did next….
