The morning light was intense though dense fog engulfed the ground like a wraith hiding and concealing all but a few feet infront of a man.
Nearly a quarter mile into the air above the countryside was a craft rocketing towards its target.
"This is Tac-One," the pilot stated calmly, "Commencing awakening proceedures."
"Azkaban copies," came the response an instant later, "Mission is go."
"Roger."
The transport dove lower, skimming the treetops as a low snarl came from the sealed drop container it bore.
"Drop is go," he stated as they passed over a large structure, releasing the trap to plumet into the void before the LAAT rose swiftly to circle, the first part of their mission complete.

Awareness touched the sleepers mind and the depths of twilight within its mind began to fade slowly.
It felt that its bindings were no longer in place as it reflexively tested its body.
A sharp and jarring impact fully roused the beast, and it lashed out tearing through the heavy metal of the container like aluminum foil.
It smelled the little prey that smelled almost like its master without the armor that it would mean injuring them would bring pain or the stench of ozone of it's lord.
These it could kill.
Flaring its wings and rising to its full height, it bellowed a challenge and lunged to attack the screaming and scattering pests.
The first Sith Dragon had been unleashed, and may the enemies of Dion tremble...

Diagon Alley's peace was shattered by the arrival of a Death Eater raid, the early morning traffic scattered.
The Aurors responded as best they could, but the wards had locked down the alley to prevent quick escapes and thus also prevented arrivals leaving the red robed aurors hopelessly outnumbered by their foes.
It was then that the rescue came, but not from who they expected.
An LAAT came in low to almost touch down while the ARC's joined the fight with their master and his bodyguard.
Captain Hades landed first, leaping not for the street level but for the rooftops.
His twin blasters out and firing as he dashed headlong across the top of the shops. Alternating fire as he walked the blaster shots up and through a trio of Death Eaters to suprised by the attack to move.
Dion and Crimson joined four other ARC's as they disembarked with a several yard drop to the cobblestone streets, the lightsabers ignition drawing attention as he advanced before his men deflecting spells left and right.
Crimson's repeater flashed as he picked off targets as the gunship dusted off to add it's own cannons to the mix.
Aboard the LAAT, Dex took aim through the site of his own weapon.
The disruptor rifle was a marksmans dream as he took aim at one of the Death Eaters and fired. The energy blast disintigrating the targer as the weapon switched to its cooldown cycle before he switched back to charging.
He paused after his second shot and leaped to the rooftops to join Hades and take up a more stable firing position.

Sev'rance Tann grinned ferally as the Clone Troopers and the Clone Commando's attacked. The sirens song of blasterfire filling the air only punctuated by the blasts of grenades and the thunderous beat of the steps of the AT-PT's as the attack on Malfoy Manor began in earnest.
Two of her masters upgraded Dementors had already entered into the battle, eliciting screams of fear and terror that sent such pleasant tingles of cold up her spine.
The Chiss darksider charged into the fray, lightsaber activated to join in the carnage that would be hers to enjoy.
