"We figured it out. You sith aren't as secretive as you think, y'know" Said Max. He acted casually, but he was on the verge of losing control.

Tepe's lightsabers scrached the robe of Nevek and then Tepe jumped with the force back to the place where he melted. "Hmh... You jedi think you really can bring peace. Every time someone's family will get killed and the sith will emerge. Now, Max. You remember that pipe I stabbed throught your parents?" Tepe said and drew a bloody pipe under his cape and threw it to Max. "Check it. It's your parent's blood. Won't you regret later that you didn't revenge their death? Strike me down"

Max lost control and rushed at Tepe, lightsaber held high, at the last moment he regained his senses altered his swing so it would miss Tepe, though not by much.

Galador began to grow impatient and just got a status report on Darth Tepe fighting some jedi. He looked at his few screen and saw four victory class Star Destroyers on the screen. He brought the five ships a little closer to the SSD.

At this weak moment of Max, Tepe started his coreography. He first spinned, then disappeared as he jumped high to the air and landed before his pray. His other lightsaber clashed into Max's and the other ripped his robe. He spinned again, his blade against Max's and the other blade coming with the force that Max couldn't resist. His lightsaber flew off from his grip and Tepe disappeared down below him and his other leg hit Max's legs, making him los his balance and fall. Tepe jumped up and his lightsabers cut two long scars into Max's face. Other to the fourhead, other to his left chin. Tepe waited for Max to attack. Tepe waited Max to give in to his feelings, use the force to get his lightsaber and attack Tepe with the fury he had. Nevek stood a few meters away, looking shoked at Tepe's very fast movements.

((Sorry about that, but anything at this moment would crush my plot for now))

Max attacked Tepe fiercely,, getting angrier by the second.

"Good, unleash your power. Unleash your anger and hate towards me" Tepe said to Max as he blocked he attacks with his lightsabers. When Max was unleashing all his anger, Tepe started talking quieter. "Come to me, come to my side. The jedi are the real ones responsible for your parents murder. The jedi told me to eliminate the Republic threat. I killed them. As a jedi. Now I know, that the jedi were meaning you. I was late. Your mother had allready gaven birth to you. So I waited, and finished the job the council gave me, and then I went back to Coruscant, to report you as the hole family to be killed. The jedi are the real killers. They hide behind their light side, but send young Jedi knight to murder and eliminate threats that could harm the council. Come with me, to revenge the jedi. Come with me to the dark side. As a sith..." he whispered as the two blades of Tepe clashed as an X to the blade of Max's

Max suddenly lost all the fight in him.
"No.....It can't be true..."

"The jedi have orrupted your mind when you were young. Give it up. Take on the reality. Believe it, Max. Your family didn't know you were meant to bring balance to the republic. But the jedi knew if you would live throught it, you would eventually become a sith, and clear the jedi population from your way..." Tepe whispered as he looked the dark side take over from Max

Max slowly turned towards Nevek, rage in his eyes.

"max, he is lieng, the sith ahve done no good for us, you cannot trust a sith. he will never let you reach your full potential, he would destroy you first, please max, do not listen to him, we weild the force like alantern controling a flame, they use it like a bonfire in the dead grasses of dantooine, max, you cannot trust him." Nevek said this all in a very soothing low tone. "i know max.....i was once a sith, that is how i know what they are like and darth tepe's name..."

"Hah!" Tepe shouted and looked at Nevek. "If you were a sith, and went to the light side, you have discraced the name of the sith!" he continued. "He proven my story in the meantime, allso. He said, that the sith have never done the jedi any good. That is, because we sith do not lie. We speak the truth, and then it's evil? How can the republic even work with the jedi in rule?" he continued again and then looked Max that started struggling for his feelings again. "My time is allmost over. I have lived over 120 years, and I am only a human. I will leave after teaching Max to my homeplanet of Naboo, whe I shall die peacefully. It is now up to your fealings, Max. Do you trust my knowledge of the future, or the too good ways of the jedi and the cheating, corrupted Jedi council?" Tepe said now to Max. Just then a bright flash came from the hangar doors. A yellow blade cut the two guards into two and then the jedi swiftly took his hood off. "Gel Ador... Long time from our last meeting" "Yes, it is, my padawan-" "I am not your padawan!" "Whatever. Max, hold on. Don't let the dark side win over you!" the two said to theirselves, but the last sentence was for Max. "You are here to get the boy, aren't you? Anyone else from the council wouldn't be brave enought to meet me face to face anymore as I killed the two jedi you sent to track me down?" Tepe said and grinned. His lightsabers ignited and so did the Gel's. The two danced around the hangar for a while, lightsabers clashing into each others. Tepe got Gel into a thought situation and grinned mercessly as he pushed him off and strafed towards him. Tepe's lightsaber swung just beneath Gel that had jumped. The two started to throw each other and throw thing at the other as the lightsaber battle wouldn't go anywhere. "Max, it is your time to show your potential! Slaughter your master!" Darth Tepe shouted as he had just evaded a crate

"You lied to me..."Said Max to Nevek.

"Do it, Max!" Tepe shouted as Gel and Tepe engaded again into an intense lightsaber fight. Only in a few seconds after Gel had made a risky attack down, Tepe had blocked and kicked Gel down. He kicked both of the lightsabers away. Tepe looked his ex-master. "Say your last words. Don't lie, or I will torture you" Tepe whispered and as Gel nodded. "Kill me... Nevek, don't let them get Ma-" Gel said, then shouted at the end. Tepe had cut his throath. "I said one..." Tepe said and walked towards Max and Nevek.

Max finally lunged at Nevek, lightsaber swinging in front of him.

Nevek knew he could not win over max, so he would have to enage him, Nevek rolled into max knocking him over and he ignited his lightsaber and held it to max's throat
"you never did learn to antcipate, not react did you?" max lay there with his already bloody face from tepe and with his lightsaber a stone throw away.
"it's yor choice max, draw your lightsaber to yourself and die or come with me and help me defeat Darth Tepe."

"Or he can make his decicion, free from you blade aching to hit his throath" Tepe said as he swung his lightsaber and force Nevek to raise his lightsaber to block. That gave Max enought time for taking his lightsaber and get up. But would he do it...?

Max stood up and wiped the blood off his face.
"You were good to me. For that I shall spare your life now. Go."

Darth Galador watched the view screen as several jedi were confronting Darth Tepe. He looked to an officer to his left and said,"Get ahold of my brother, tell him to meet to prepare his fleet of warships."

Nevek was saber locked with tepe as he heard the merciful words of max .
"there you go max, your going back to your usual self, come with me when i leave and we can train more and harder, please max, i beg of you" Nevek not faultering or twitching or showing and signs of weakness in his lock.

"I have spared your life, but my patience is thin. Go unless you wish for me to kill you here and now."

Tepe pushed Nevek away with his blade. "Max has told you to leave. Leave, and take Master Ador's body with you"

" i hope you see the light soon max" Nevek then ran off and picked up ador's body and ran to his ship, and pulled out and then took a hyperspace jump back to courescant.

As Nevek's ship went off, not being shot, Tepe watched it, then walked to Max and offered his hand. "Welcome to the true side of the force. Hope you will like your stay" Tepe said, a little jokingly and helped Max up. "You shall build your new lightsaber soon. Now, you must go and rest. Lieuetant, get our new guest to his quarters" Tepe said and a red armored trooper came to them and bowed to Max. "I shall be your guide and escort for your stay on the Black doom" the trooper said and bowed again.

"Thank you." Said Max to the trooper. Once in his room he laid down on the bed.

Nevek came to courescant and landed in the jedi tample's docking bay, he got out and was greated by a padawan and he told him about master ador, and needed to see the council, once he got there he bega to speak.
"masters, master ador has been killed by the dark lord tepe, and max has gone over the the dark side, he let me go so there still is some good in him, but it will be hard to get at him in that super star destroyer."

"I shall wait outside the door" thr trooper said and took a backstep and out from the room. The door closed with a hiss and the trooper set himself standing on the right side of the door, holding his blaster rifle. He was like locked. (Just like the English guards) He just stared forwards and didn't even move a muscle

Tepe was in his darkened quaerters. He looked at a holopod in the floor. He pressed a button on his chair. "Yes, Gelador. You wished to speak with me earlier" he said with acold voice. His hood was covering his eyes. "I hope you haven't disappointed me with some request behind my back" he added and grinned devilishly.

Two troopers came to the door of Max's quarters. Max heard the troopers speak. "Lord Tepe ordered us to bring some mechanical parts and some new clothing to Lord Max"
"Yes, I have been informed of this. Go on in. If he is sleeping, don't wake him up. He needs some rest" the lieuetant said and opened the door. The two troopers walked in. The other held a pile of black robes and placed them to a small table next to the door. The other brang the mechanical parts for Max's new lightsabers. The box soon was placed onto a table next to Max's bed. The trooper that brang the lightsaber parts, looked Max and then turned and walked throught the door with the other. The door closed again, and full quietness filled the room.

The lieuetant trooper looked the empty corridor. Only a couple of mouse droids squeaked and rolled down the corridor into a few rooms. the trooper opened the door and walked in. He woke Max up. "Get dressed into your new outfit. Lord Tepe is waiting" he said. The trooper then left

Max got dressed quickly, and instinctively knew where Darth Tepe was, he walked there.
"You called me?"

The dark room lit up. He had ordered Galador to spread out and start an assault to the nearest planets. Tepe looked Max and took his hood off. "This shall be your training room for your training days. You shall learn how to destroy objects with your full force. How to make hallusinations to your weak opponent. How to send lightning from your hands, and how to master the full skills od the force and the arts of the saber" Tepe said and drew his second lightsaber. He threw it to Max and drew his own. "You shall soon get your own, great fleet, so you can march into coruscant. But now, you must fight me. We shall see how well you are trained" Tepe said.

A few hours later. Tepe breathed heavily and deactivated his lightsaber. They both were very tired. "Very good. You are a very fine swordsman. Now, try to collect every inch of your anger, and form them into one. Hit that armor there" Tepe said and pointed an armor in the corner

Max concentrated all his anger on the armor, his parents's deaths, his master lying to him, the jedi betraying him, and concentrated it on the armor. When he lunged, the armor shattered before the lightsaber even touched it.

"Very good. Deactivate your lightsaber, then use only the force to the other armor. Try to destroy it with a lightning"

"Yes, Darth Tepe," Galador said to him through the holocom. He shut it off and thought of a strategy. He went to a computer and punched a few buttons in and the planet Bespin came up on the screen. "Leutenant Shiv, prepare a course for Bespin, that will be our first strike, if we cut off there Tibbana gas source, then that will be a strong blow to the republic, we can use Cloud City as a base as well, inform my brother of this as well, first we need a way to 'sneak' in, we must capture a republic ship, a Mon Calamarian Cruiser, one of the new ones."

The five ship blasted off into hyperspace.

Max tried to do it, but only one small bolt of lightning appeared, finally frustrated he destroyed the armor with the force as he had done before.

"No, no, no... Concentrate" Tepe said and formed a lightning into his hand. He let it loose. The hole room lit up as one of the armors was allmost blown away from his force. "Try again"

Max tried it again, this time there was barely enough lightning to destroy the armor.

An advanced Mon Calamarian cruiser blasted out of hyperspace above the planet Bespin. The large republic warship roared through the clouds headed for cloud city.

Darth Galador was at the bridge of the captured Republic ship. He had just finished putting on some white clothes that resembled a Republic officer. The large ship docked at Cloud City.

Galador was greeted by a the mayor of Cloud City. His name was Randall Calrissian. "Nice to meet you Master Tinn," Randall said to him, "I'm sure your inspection will go well here."

"The Republic got word that there is an illegall spice syndicate operating here, take me to the main communications center."

"Right this way," The mayor of Cloud City told him.

Darth Galador reached the communications room. It was large with several computer panels and what not with a glass window overlooking cloud city. Just as Mayor Calrissian was about to speak he found a red lightsaber growing out of his gut, dripping blood. Galador looked to the cloud city guards. They were all sith soldiers disguised as cloud city guards. "Shut down all transmissions going off Bespin". Galador got out a comlink and said to his Leiutenant who was still on the SD Vengeance,"Leiutenant Shiv, bring the fleet to the city, destroy any threat in your way, and send troops here, its time to take over the city."

((Malastar, Lightsabers can't drip blood, they close the wound they make.

((There can be a little blood, a la episode one when qui gon got stabbed or darth maul's mist of blood when he fell, so they dont close the wound instintaneously))

((Yeah, but a lightsaber can't drip blood, it'd be vaporized instantly))

(yeah, the initial blood spurt will come out, but it cautrizes the wound. and tepe when are you going to do something with my dude, you control the council not me, unless you want to cede control to me)

((right I wasn't thinking I was just in the heat of the battle))

New black armored storm troopers were marching thru cloud city taking everyone prisoner and raiding the city. Darth Galador appeared on holocrons and viewing screens around the city. He said,"Citezens of Cloud City, I am know in command, your mayor is dead, if you resist you will be shot, the republic cannot help you now, it will be a new golden age for the sith." His real plans for the citezens were to put them to slavery. He got his comlink out to Dart Tepe," Darth Tepe I have taken Cloud City over and the tibanna gas is all ours, we have almost an unlimited supply to fuel our ships, what is our next plan of action."

Master Donar looked Nevek. "Master Nevek, this is a great loss to the jedi order. Have you heard of any former connections between Master Ador and this Darth Tepe?" he said and still stared at Nevek.

Darth Tepe turned to the screen on the wall. He nodded at Galador. "Leave troops there. Then leave to Geonosis and start the project with the Huttal inc. We need that Death Star. I shall come see the progress in a few days" he said and shut the connection. "Max, leave to build your own lightsaber. We shall leave still today to Geonosis" he said, still looking at the black screen. He sighed as Max left. "His potential exceeds my power. After he is fully learned, the jedi will be extinct" he mumbled to himself and then left to the bridge. As he got there, the commander stopped his shouting and turned around. "Sir, we have everything ready for jumping to hyperspace"
"Good. We shall leave at the end of the day"

Max started construction on his saber. He had always had a natural understanding of technology and mechanics, so it was easy for him to construct it.

Darth Galador nodded to himself and contacted his brother next and said to him on the comlink," Brother Teran I need you to bring our three Viper Battleships to Cloud City, I have some business to attend to on Geonosis."

Darth Galador's shuttle left and he put Leiutenant Shiv in charge of Cloud City until his brother arrived. He reached the Star Destroyer Vengeance and it blasted off into hyperspace from Bespin to Geonosis.

The star destroyer arrived at Geonosis and orbited around it while a Hutt craft entered the Star Destroyer. A large hutt arrived at the bridge of the ship. "Construction has just begun on the Death Star Lord Galador, we have put the geonosian refugees into slavery and they are working on the battle station." The large Hutt pointed out the window and the framework of a large round battlestation appeared, several ships buzzed around halling peices of it , it floated strangely close to the asteriod belt around the planet Geonosis.

"Excellent, Darth Tepe will be most pleased, he is on his way here," Galador said to the bloated Hutt.

"Thats most wonderful news, if you would follow me I will show you to our palace on the planet," the Hutt said to him. They both left the Star Destroyer to the Hutt Palace on Geonosis's surface.

Time past, the Super Star Destroyer jumped out of hyperspace and floated towards the planet of Geonosis. Darth Tepe looked throught the window, at the progressing work of the the new Death Star. Darth Tepe hated Hutt's, but was force to cooperate with them, as only they had the resources to do this all. The Death star progressed as planned. The sith grinned devilishly under his hood and then turned as the Hutt slumbered in with Galador. "I am pleased to see the progress of the Death star. I seek that the throne room is ready..." he said and looked the Hutt, piercing him and making the large slimy worm feel uncomfortable.

(Malastar, I think the Hutt is one of your NPC's from now on, then.)

Geonosis? What are we doing near this relic? Thought Matt as he looked out the window.
He picked up the lightsaber he had made. He had actually built one, then fused it with his old one to make a double-edged lightsaber.

"yes, i think he was tepe's old master, aarrg, i sense death on cloud city, i shall go there at once" Nevek turned around and walked out to his ship, he was givien 4 republic commandoes and he was off toward cloud city.
