The Door to droid storage was cut open with A12-9s installed cutting laser, the droid walked through the door seeing two enginneers. He Quickly shot both of them with his blaster rifle, The noise alerted nearby guards who began to fire on the droid. A12-9 had activated its shield to reduce any incoming damage and shot all the guards. He then continued down the corridore to the medium security wing of the prision deck, as he walked an automated security turret droped down from the ceiling and also fired on the droid. A12-9 retailiated with his rifle getting 3 good shots and burning the turret out.

On arrival at the Medium security section, 5 guards were currently on duty. one of them did not hesitate to it the emergancy alarm
____________________________

Jon was given an automatum The darkside or death. The sith claim he would only kill Tia if he was indesisive for two long, but if he turned to the darkside or killed Tia would proberly suffer the same fate. This was no longer just about him but also her. as he tried to think quickly the emergancy alarm sounded Through out the prison deck.

Jon- "You don't seem to be in that much control of your ship."

Iallia- "Suit yourself, Jedi. Technician, flood the woman's cell with gas, now."

Technician- "Aye sir. Flooding the cell now."
___________

The gas was an advanced neurotoxin designed to be absorbed not only through the lungs, but also through the skin. The vents began to feed the gas into Tia's cell, and within seconds, the cell was completely filled with the gas.
____________

Diraa was walking down the hallway when he heard blasters going off near the Medium Security Station. He immidiately headed over. As he entered the corridor, he spotted A12-9 and activated his lightsaber. He gathered Force energy in his limbs and lept towards the droid. As he landed directly in front of the droid, he brought this lightsaber down, slashing it across the droid.

Jon- No! stop! Reverse It, You want me... you have me, but let her go.

__________________________

A12-9-moved back narrowly avoiding the lightsabers blade. His Left arm raised and shot a continuous blast of flame at the attacking dark Jedi.

Iallia- (yelling)"Then make your choice Jedi!! (raised voice)Your complacency is killing her, not me. This is where you have to understand that you have the power to stop this from happening. All you have to do is make a simple choice."
___________

Diraa almost instinctively dove to the left just before the Flamethrower was activated. Diraa had been concentrating on precognition using the Force, and the technique was definately working. As he dodged, Diraa lashed out at the droid with a Force Wave.

Kira stopped for a second and glanced around. To Nalaen, she said, "Do you feel that?" After another short pause, she went on. "I sense a struggle of light and dark."

"A Jedi has been captured," she said. "And is being mentally tortured as one he loves is being killed slowly."

"You mentioned fun, Nalaen," Kira said, suddenly switching topics. "Let us go. Now!"

There was only one option he could take to ensure his companions safety.

Jon- Let Tia and my droid go and i'll join you. I'll be a servant of the sith.

____________________________________________

The wave knocked A12-9 against the wall and caused it to shut down.

OOC: Is there a jedi temple on coruscant? If so, I would plan to attack it or would there be too much of a quick ending to then rp?

OOC- You can attack coruscant if you really want unless anyone else has an objestion to it.

OOC: Is there an Jedi Temple on it, just like in the movies?

((well, attacking the Jedi would make sense since the Sith are indeed hunting down the last of the Jedi. but you also have to keep in mind that you would be facing overwhelming odds considering that Coruscant is the center of the Republic and would theoretically be very heavily guarded by a massive Republic Fleet.))

Iallia- "Very interesting choice, Jedi. Interesting how fear manages to manifest itself to such a degree that you would attempt to save all lives at stake, including your own. I expected as much from you. Of course, your words are not without hidden meaning: you are not truely broken. You would still seek to follow the Jedi Code, even if it meant betraying me.

Technician, vacuum out the gas from the woman's cell and have a medical team administer an antidote.

As for you, Master Freeman, you are free to go. Your ship, the woman, and the droid will all be returned to you. And I will personally escort you to your ship."

The nearby technician then deactivated the Force Field on Jon's cell.
_____________

Diraa was about to attack the droid again, but he noticed that the droid had been disabled. Interesting, for such a combat oriented droid to not be able to take much damage.

Soldier- "My Lord, we've just recieved word from Master Iallia: he's just issued an order to have the droid repaired, if neccessary, and returned to the freighter we just captured."

Diraa- "Very well. I'll get it down to maintenance myself."

With that, Diraa picked up the droid with the Force and brought it to Maintenance.

OOC: If you aren't so tied up maybe you'd assist me? :D ooh and i got something up my sleeve and with Revan still being alive would he be in hiding like TSL roles him out or will he be at the temple?

[Coruscant's Orbit]

Coruscant's orbit was always occupied, by the Republic and their blockades, but the Republic weren't the only ones in Coruscant's Orbit. The Ragnarok whom just jumped out of hyperspace, begun deploying it's Sith Fighters to bombarde the Republic's Flagships that protected Corsucant's Orbit.

The two armies collided into eachother with sheer force. Explosions erupted throughout the battle, Anor Kon watched as he stood on the bridge of The Ragnarok.
"Execute Plan W-02, and get some firepower on those Flagships! This is a battle we can't afford to lose!"

Dozens of dropships accompanied, by Basilisk War Droids bursted out of the hangar and shot directly to Coruscant, risking a few losses they made it to the surface..

Anor Kon turned his back to the battle as a Republic flagship crumbled under the mighty fire power of the Sith. He paused for a second his eyes straight ahead to what was standing there...dozens of Dark Acolytes stood waiting for their orders, each were identified, by the cloth they wore over their nose and mouth.
"You all sweared an oath to fighting for what we beleive in, and now it is time for you to live up to it..[Anor Kon looked at each face that was filled with determination and revenge] report to your dropships immediately. I will be joining you after, you all breach the designated sectors."

Anor Kon soon turned back around to observe the massive space battle..

[Coruscant]

The Sith soldiers cut into Coruscant's city sectors as if they were butter. The Sith repeatedly had to fall back, because of the heavy fire power that popped up once in a while, but they begun pushing into the city from all directions, and they were heading right to the Jedi Temple. They were slowly losing man by man..

[Ragnarok Bridge]

"Status report Commander."

The Sith Commander whom controlled the bridge in Anor Kon's absence, slowly walked forward reading a holo list from his hand.

"We are advancing further into the city, more and more Republic resistance as we go, but we won't stop until the last of us are dead!"

Anor Kon turned to face the Republic's crumbling space defenses, he was in deep thought thinking he should already of dismissed his apprentince to battle. The Bridge Commander interrupted his thinking,

"This battle is something we cannot win pull the men back as fast as you can!"

Anor Kon whirled around with speed his eyes glaring on the Commander

"I'm sor.."

Anor Kon interrupted him with a powerful force, Anor Kon's hand was rose and was coming up higher above his head, the commander was making gurgling sounds grasping his throat, suddenly the noise stopped as soon as Anor Kon clenched his hand into a tight fist. Standing over the commander's body he said..

"The Sith will rise to it's glory, too bad you won't be around long enough to see it.."

(((Geez . . . so much posting and I thought I didn't miss that much. The reason why I wasn't more specific about where wildjedi and I were was because I had no idea where we COULD be, and what was really going on. So I made general statements from the information I could gather, in hopes of being included, instead of doing something totally out of whack with the story.)))

She stared at Kira, the feelings translated through the Force running up and down her spine.

"Wait, what do you mean? I was gonna scare Selkath and troops and stuff on the planet. Maybe hack a few people apart . . ." Continuing to stare at her companion, she added: "So, what are we doing?"

((And here I've been thinking you had something planned, Blessed Sith! :) ))


Kira almost seemed not to hear her. "Did you feel the struggle between light and dark? The darkness has won now. Iallia is not quite as weak as I had originally thought."

She shook her head, as if hearing Nalaen for the first time. "Eh? What are we doing? I thought we were going down to see what has been done on the planet, mabe frighten a few locals, if any still remain. And of course, there is always the chance of somebody meeting an... unsavory end." She laughed, but it was not the harsh, grating sound a Sith laugh is commonly assumed to be. It was rather musical, deadly to those who were weak minded. Kira could get her way with any weak minded fool. And thanks to Teri, she could get her way with the Jedi.

With a sigh of satisfaction, she turned to Nalaen. "I follow you," she said, indicating that she viewed Nalaen as her leader. Given time, she could learn to trust Iallia, but Nalaen would have to do so first.

Jon stepped out of the cell and closer to Iallia.

Jon- "Whats the catch, why are you just letting me leave. I may not follow your path if you just let me leave."

Jaelek walked down in the blaster and frag grenade marked walls. Jaelek gasped and looked at a dark jedi who had just ignited his lightsaber. Jaelek had never fought any jedi or darkjedi for that matter. the closet thing he had fought that was close to a dark jedi was a Sith adept at the sith at his old jedi academy where he was trained for a few years. Jaelek then ignited his lightsaber. and charged at the dark jedi. They clashed Jaelek had a hard time blocking his hits. ''Surrender now and i might spare your life!''

The Dark jedi laughed. and said
''You are in no position to talk down to me'' The dark jedi force pushed Jaelek to the Manann walls. Jaelek gasped at the power this Darkjedi had. then Jaelek stood up as he stood up he had just noiced blood dripping from his shoulder. he looked and it had been a lightsaber cut from the dark jedi's lightsaber. The dark jedi laughed again. Jaelek felt hatred burning in his body all ofassuden. he bit his lip and charged

visciously at the dark jedi. Jaelek Clashed with the darkjedi again each time he would almost hit the Darkjedi. then. Jaelek then kicked the DarkJedi
down and had his lightsaber near his throat. ''Who orderd you to attack this place?'' The dark jedi said ''You patheic fool. i would rather die then tell you scum.'' Jaelek grined at that responce then he stabbed the dark jedi. then he deactivated his lightsaber and fell to his knees.. ''I...took down a fully trained Dark jedi..i cant believe it..''Jaelek looked at his shoulder and saw that it had been bleeding alot more. ''My shoulder is a mess..i should find a couple of medpacs..'' Jaelek then stood up ripping a piece off of the Darkjedi's clothing to wrap his wound up he tied it tightly so he would't lose alot of blood. as his wound had been bleeding badly. Jaelek then countinued to walk to find a hospital or medbay or something he could find to heal himself. then he tryed to be sneaky so he would't have anymore confrontations like that anymore he did't know if he could stand against another darkjedi

Iallia- "It is quite simple: you did not supply me with the answer a Jedi would have given. A Jedi would have sacrificed themselves at the mere hope that others would be saved. A Sith would would beg for their life, but one that simply follows their own path has many influences, some natural and some through the Force.

Truth be told, I was testing you to see where you truely stood. Your path does not lie with me, but the path you walk also does not lie with the Jedi. However, I have also felt that you have a larger part to play yet in this conflict, whether it be for either the Light or Dark sides of the Force. But, since you walk your own path, the decision is yours to make. Not mine through subversion; that is why I'm letting you go."

Jon began to head out of the prison block but stop a few steps away from Iallia. He did not turn around to face him when he spoke.

Jon- "I may not know my path, but I do know the next time we meet i may have to kill you... Good bye Darth."

He then continued towards his ship hoping that Tia and A12 had allready been moved to the hanger so he could leave as soon as possible.

Iallia headed for the shuttle. Tia and A12 had both been restored to full health and had been transferred to their ship.

Iallia wondered about the previous encounter he had just had. He wondered if perhaps he should have kept the former Jedi and exposed him to Malachor as Revan had done to convert the Jedi. He could use allies, but sometimes patience and tactical thinking was far more important.

As far as Manaan was concerned, it was captured. His conquest was finished there, and now the Republic would soon be on its knees as the war progressed from a lack of kolto. An enforcement detachment would be arriving at Manaan shortly in order to help make sure it stayed within his control.

Iallia sat and thought, as he always had done about where he would go next. Rumor had it that Coruscant was being attacked by another Sith Remnant Force that wasn't under his command. But where would the point be in that? The Republic would soon send in countless re-inforcements and those Sith would be wiped out. But what of the Rakata? They had already attacked and enslaved several planets.

The Rakata were indeed a threat, and it wasn't likely that they would be willing to barter a peace proposal: they had already taken several of his envoys hostage with several men executed. Unfortunately, he had no idea exactly where there base was located. Some had theorized the Star Forge Planet, but they had already been there, and it was as desolate as Iallia thought it would have been.

Perhaps now was the time to focus on the Rakata threat instead of the Republic. Several plans had already been drawn up to "assist" the Republic in retaking several of the enslaved worlds.

Iallia's shuttle arrived at the Exar, and Iallia informed his Admirals and Generals to meet him in the Planning Room. It was time to meet the Rakata head on and to definatively annihilate them once and for all.

[Ragnarok Bridge]

Anor Kon still observed the space battle, obviously the Sith were going to win, from outnumbering the Republic's fighters. He smirked grimly as another flagship was torn into two, before letting out an colossal explosion. Suddenly, a holorecording flickered on infront of him, it was the ground commander.

"Sir, we've breached the sector we wish for your assistance as soon as possible"

Anor Kon could barely hear the message from all of the terrible reception, but he figured out what he was saying.

"I'll make haste to your current position, hold off the republic scum until then!"

Anor Kon turned his back to the holorecording, but he soon stopped in his tracks when he heard..

"The Jedi are assisting the Republc, sir"

"Good."

Anor Kon moved quickly out of the Bridge and down his way to the hangar...

[Coruscant]

As soon as he stepped out of his dropship that was filled with Dark Jedi apprentices the smell of rot and decay hit him, it was sick, but he's smelt sicker. Every Dark Jedi filed out of the dropship following Anor Kon.

"Look alive!"

Anor Kon shouted as a rocket came hurtling down to them fired from a veranda above them, the rocket only destroyed their dropship and the pilot inside of it, each Dark Jedi was quick enough to repel the attack, dozens of Republic ground tropps came sprinting down the street shooting their blasters wildly. Anor Kon saw through their attack and ordered the Dark Jedi to confront them head on, Anor Kon flung his lightsaber torward the veranda the rocket came from as he was running torwards the enemy. He took a humongous leap torwards the Republic ground troops as he heard the veranda came crashing down to the crowded street, catching the lightsaber as it came back he hammered downward on the closest ground troop, he then landed on the corpse of the ground troop and he begun to cut through the rest of the unit that attacked him, he was in a hurry to see, if Darth Revan was around..

The oricle was flying through hyperspace on cource for tatooine after they were free from the sith ship. Jon was In the cockpit thinking of the resently transpired events, He did not know his destiny he only knew that now it involved Darth Iallia. he had to find out more that means he had to find a master who knew of destiny, a master of the force. That's why his ship was heading for tatooine. He only knew of one master that would help him, one who had left the order after the destruction of the star forge.

Tia had entered the cockpiyt and took her seat.

Tia- "So what happened in your brig?"

Jon- "i was forced to chose between you and me."

Tia- "so why are we both here?"

Jon- "he was testing me."

Tia- "Look i have to ask, Why aren't we helpng the selkath?"

Jon- "Because we don't need to... Darth Iallia has made a mistake of taking over a former terrortory of the rakata. They're taking back all there former planets first. they have already taken control of dantooine and tatooine."

Tia- "Wait we are going to tatooine."

Jon- "Yes but we have to."

Iallia looked out from the bridge of the Exar. The Sith needed time to prepare for the assault on the Rakata, that much was certain. Although they had achieved a quick victory over the Republic, several ships had been very heavily damaged from the Republic flagships. Of course, several of those flagships were now in the possession of the Sith due to their captains surrendering them over.

Already, a space station was being built near Manaan to increase the amount of Sith Military Forces around Manaan. Also, more ships were beginning to arrive from other Sith controlled sectors. His fleet was increasing in overall size, but that was only for now. They were mostly arriving to guarentee that the Sith remained in control of Manaan.

Technician- "My Lord, we are recieving a transmission from the Selkath."

Iallia- "Very well, transfer it to the comm terminal."

Technician- "Aye sir."

Iallia walked over to the comm terminal, and an image of the Selkath leaders came up on the viewscreen.

Iallia- "Good Morning, Gentlemen. How is everything proceeding?

Selkath- "Quite well actually. We have already drafted a measure that would ensure our peace with the Sith. We sincerely hope that they will be enough for the Sith."

Iallia- "Very well. I'll review your proposal within a couple of hours with several advisors. Thank for your cooperation in this matter. I'll contact you shortly."

Iallia was starting to head back towards the front of the bridge once again.

Sensor Technician- "My Lord! Sensors are picking up a large fleet dropping out of hyperspace."

Iallia- "Can you identify?"

Technician- "Markings suggest a Rakatan orgin. Their shields and weapons arrays are going active. And they're launching fighters. We're under attack."

Iallia- "Very well. Anounce general quarters to the fleet. And start moving us into a defensive formation. (over a comm)Admiral, get those fighters launched, now!"

Iallia studied the tactical screen. His forces were largely outnumbered, and not all of his ships had been repaired as of yet. Still, that didn't mean that the battle was lost. The Rakatan didn't have any Force Sensitive leadership, Iallia could sense it. Iallia left the bridge, allowing his Admirals to lead the battle. He entered his meditation chamber located near his quarters and began to concentrate on the enemy forces.

The oricle rested on the surface of tatooine outside a cave, It had managed to sneak past the two orbiting rakata ships that were assigned to protect the planet. Jon had left the ship leaving Tia and his droid in the ship to check on the sensors and make sure the Rakata would not send troops on their location. He had entered the cave and walked half a klic into it until he came across alarge cavern that had been made into a small home. The large 'room' had a light in the middle with a bed and kitchen, to one edge sat a twi'lek in jedi robes meditating.

Twi'lek- "I never thought i would see you again."

Jon- "I thought you were suppose to see the paths of all master zenso."

Zenso- "I do but these are times that cloud our sights."

Jon- "I need to my destiny."

Zenso- "You did not the last time we met."

Jon- "I was not ready."

Zenso- "And are you now?"

Jon- "Perhaps not, But i must know."

Zenso- "Your destiny is uncertain, it is split into three paths. The first two similar, You Will create an army of the light, you will find convert or kill force adept to your side and fight the armies of darkness. They split as in one you will fall by the masters hand and the other you will be the one who kills the master."

Jon- "And the third?"

Zenso- "You will fall to the darkside and help lead the sith for a millenia of fear, anger, hate and pain."

Jon- "How do i stop that from happening."

Zenso- "I don't know for certain, the dark side is clouded, but i know that the girl Tia is the key."

Jon- "How?"

Zenso- "That is also clouded. You must find your army then attack the Sith and Rakata, To start your Journey you must travel to places strong in the force.

Anor Kon looked upon the battle as he stood atop of a random veranda two Sith Acolytes at his side each with bodies laying at their feet. Anor Kon smiled as he saw the Sith push the Republic further back, but suddenly the sound of an roaring engine could be heard in the skies above, they were Basilisk War Droids he ordered to start making a path for the Sith ground troops and Jedi. Anor Kon was smirking as he watched the Basilisk War Droids fire their massive guns at the numerous groups of Republic soldiers. Anor Kon's smirk vanished, only to be overlapped, by a face full of anger..Jedis of the Republic were making their way down the wartorn street..

Anor Kon took his signature battle dance as the Jedi came closer although dozens of men and debris seperated them from eachother, he still figured all of them would be brave enough to hastily attack him first. He was right each Jedi leaped torwards the veranda, waiting for them were lightsabers pointed directly into the air, possibly where each of the Jedi were to land. Kul Nora whom spearheaded the Jedi unit that was sent in first to attack noticed the move and sent a thunderous force push torwards the Dark Jedi each were flung back into the opposing walls, but Anor Kon stood his ground and hacked the Jedi that was to land closest to him into several peices. One by one each Jedi landed and engaged the powerful Sith Lord in battle, Anor Kon deflected slashes left and right, and returned with his own attack. Each Jedi crumbled under the colossal power of the Sith, Kul Nora was the last who stood in battle...

"Anor Kon, you may kill me, but you may not kill the rest of us!"

Anor Kon laughed as he blocked yet another blow , suddenly he kicked outward knocking Nora to the ledge of the veranda, whom was losing his balance, and was about to regain it until Anor Kon stuck out his hand sending thousands of bolts into Nora's body, Nora soon fell off the veranda only to be shot dozens of times, by the Sith below.

Anor Kon proudly stepforward and shouted..

"This is just a taste of the Darkside! All units advance torwards the Jedi Temple, leave no survivors!"

The Sith Vessels opened fire first. They had much better accurate range than the Rakata ships did. Meanwhile, Sith Fighters were quickly scrambling to meet the incoming Rakatan Fighters. Admiral Ruzar, the Sith Commander, ordered several groups to remain in the shadow of Manaan while the majority of the Sith were engaged in the Battle.

Ruzar was a competant commander and had earned his reputation as a hard-lined, on-the-fly stategist who could quickly take control of a battle through a lot of micromanagement. The same was now happening in this battle. By going over the view screen and monitoring both friendly and enemy positions, he was constantly giving out orders. At the same time, he was listening to the leaders of the groups in the battle and following up on their advise in one form or another.

Despite Ruzar's command of the battle, the Rakatan were starting to gain an upper hand. Several of their cruisers had moved in behind their fighters and were giving all kinds of fire support. It was a very good tactic, and hard to break through. Not only that, but it was frustrating Ruzar to no end. He was used to leading attacks, not defense, and the almost defensive standpoint of the cruisers was making it very difficult to advance.

Finally, Ruzar decided to move a couple of battleships forward and take on the cruisers directly. This time, they had some success, and the cruisers were forced to fall back to a position with the rest of the fleet. Instead of chasing down the cruisers, Ruzar moved in several smaller destroyers along the Battleships to contain the Rakatan Fighters. But the Rakatan weren't about to sit back and watch their fighters get ripped to shreds: they moved the large bulk of their main fleet ahead to take on the battleships and destroyers.

This was the move Ruzar had been waiting for and he ordered the battle groups that were behind Manaan to manuever behind the Rakatan. Although the Sith were outnumbered, the Rakatan were now being forced to defend themselves from all sides.
_________

Iallia concentrated as much as he could on the Rakatan leaders themselves. He could feel them reacting to the Sith and attempting to have some measure of control. He concentrated further and could even start to make out individual concentrations within their minds. Focusing, Iallia disrupted them as much as possible. Very quickly, the Rakatan leadership was in disarray. Suddenly, they could no longer make very good, or even very quick, decisions. Iallia continued to concentrate and began to focus on other members of the Rakatan Fleet. Iallia's Battle Meditation techniques were indeed beginning to manifest as the Rakatan fleet began to fall into further and further disarray.

(OOC- just so you know i'll be collecting an army of Jedi and force adepts. These will all be NPCs so if you meet them you won't need permission to kill them.)

The ship was flying out of the planets atmosphere at full speed. They were closely being followed by a squadron of rakatan fighters, the crew were already in battle position ready to begin defending the ship.

Jon- "They're closing fast, lock and load!"

Tia was checing her targeting scanners, the fighters were still not in range. Her finger began to twitch and brow began to sweat in anticiptation. The fighters were closing faster the oricle was still a distance away from the hyperspace point.

The Rakata were getting closer and closer until the lead fighter Came into range of the rear missile launcher. A concussion missile launched out from between the two engines and shot strait towards the front fighter. The fighter attempted to evade the missile but that just moved the impact on to the starboard engine causing it to instantly explode. The rest of the rakata continued forward towards the oricle, they had all just came into turret range so Tia and A12 began shooting rapid bursts at the fighters. As the oricle left the gravity well it was in position to jump. The stars streaked pass the ship as it disappered from the Rakata sights.

The battle continued to rage. Ruzar was indeed taking control of situation, but the Sith were still heavily outnumbered. Ruzar had to pull back a couple of battleships from the fight due to extreme battle damage. They were off in a distance providing as much long-range fire support as they could. Meanwhile, Ruzar finally brough the Exar into the battle. The amount of fire power that it brought to bear quickly began to make an impact and began to force the Rakatan away from the main Sith Forces and towards the flanking Sith Battle Groups.
____________

Iallia continued to concentrate on the Rakatan forces. Slowly but surely, he was decreasing their will to fight, and their morale was fading rapidly. Combined with Admrial Ruzar's tactician abilities, the Rakatan were quickly losing all control over the battle.
_____________

Finally, the Rakatan began to recall their fighters and attempted to punch through the Sith Battle Groups that were behind them so they could make a retreat. Iallia sensed this and began to attack the very will of the Commanders on the Rakatan vessels. Ruzar was also very quick to recognize that they were trying to retreat, or at least fall back and re-organize themselves.

Ruzar gave the order to pursue, and Ruzar specifically moved the Exar forward ahead of the Sith Forces to get directly behind the Rakatan Flagships. The Exar quicly moved into position, taking only light damage from the Rakatan guns, and opened fire with a full barage. Already damaged from the fight, and their morale quickly disintegrating, the Rakatan couldn't hardly bother with the damage control.

Several Rakatan flagships began to break apart, and their fleet was beginning to resemble pure chaos more than anything. Even a couple of collisions between Rakatan ships occured. Finally, a message came over the comm center.

Ruzar walked over to the comm center and answered the Rakatan leader who was offering his surrender.

Ruzar- (over a comm)"My Lord Iallia, the Rakatan are offering their surrender. Do I accept, or do we continue the battle?"

Iallia- "Accept their surrender immidiately. There is nothing to gain from annihilating them."

Ruzar- "As you wish my Lord."

Then, Ruzar gave to order to cease fire on the Rakatan ships. And the Rakatan followed suit.

[Scratch the thought of me being a Dark Lord type guy, i'm just gonna be a Sith Guardian who hasn't actually assumed the rank of Lord]

Anor Kon walked through the street counting the bodies of Sith, not too bad, but he expected better for his soldiers and called for what was left of their men. He could still see the wreckage of the Basilisk War Droids in the neighboring sector. Anor Kon turned around to face dozens of Sith ground soldiers whom were either reloading their weapons or were mending their wounds. and a smile begun to curl on his lips...

"We must keep pace with the rest of the army, if we want to reach the Jedi Temple at the designated time, Sith Battali.."

A gigantic roar of weaponry was heard from behind, Anor Kon turned hiding a surprised look under the cold stare. A huge ball of plasma came hurtling torwards space...

[Ragnarok Bridge]

The newly assigned Bridge Commander looked upon what was the left of the space battle, suddenly alarms erupted throughout the ship. The ship rocked forward as it was hit with a gun turret from one of the Republic Flagships that was still operational. The Commander fell forward catching the controls as he fell, looking upward only to see a huge ball of plasma coming straight torwards them...

((OCC- I would like to give stringerhs three cheers for becoming a moderator, It's about time we got one looking over us RPers and i can't think of any one who will do a better job.))

Jon was sat on his bed in the oricle, The ship was hedding to Nar Shaddar but Jon did not know why. He had plotted the cource and engaged it but it was like he was being drawn to the place. He sat and contemplated the reasons why, his only conclusion was that there must be jedi on the planet to join this 'Army of the Light' he must lead. As he sat he looked over to his desk and saw a mysterious datapad lying on his desk, it wasn't there when he entered the room so how did it get there. He used the force to raise it and bring it to his hand as he looked at it the words 'Message from Zenso' flashed on the screen. Jon pressed the accept button and saw the message from the old jedi master.

"Jon, I feel that you should have more information for this crusade you have embarked on. This path you walk has been prophersized for many generations and we should have seen it coming all those years ago when you stood before the counsil. The prophercy tells that a Jedi who would fall but not turn to the darkside will lead an army of twelve force adepts, Jedi and converted dark Jedi. This army of the light will either cause the destruction of all darkness in the galaxy for a millenia or allow it to take hold. The Key to this is a member of this army who will eithur betray or stand by their leader. Jon everything is riding on this, May the Force be with You."

Jon sat and thought as he placed the pad back on the desk ' how can twelve jedi make a differance against the Sith and Rakata?'

((thanx starmark. :D ))

Iallia went to the bridge of the Exar. The Sith had the Rakatan surrounded from every direction, and now the Rakatan had surrendered.

Iallia studied the tactical layout of his fleet. Many ships had reported in that they had taken extremely heavy damage and were flashing red. Iallia also noted the list of lost ships. Dozens of fighters and gunships, several frigates, and even two battleships had been lost in the battle. There was hardly a single ship that wasn't at least reporting in moderate damage. The only ships that didn't take much damage was the Exar and a couple of battleships that Ruzar always like to keep in a fire support area where they wouldn't take much damage.

The battle was indeed a victoty, but it was a very costly victory. Hundreds of men were forever lost: valuable leaders, pilots, engineers, soldiers, and even force adepts. Iallia had to look away from the tactical screen in disgust. He had to wonder if it was even worth it anymore. This struggle to find a measure of control over the Force. Iallia could once again feel the pains and cries from Malachor V all over again as it continually haunted his memories in a measure of silence.

The Oricle flew through the ship lanes around the buildings of Nar Shaddar. They had entered near the corillian sector of the planet as thats where Jon felt he was being drawn to. Tia had managed to persuade the male landing controler to let them land for a discounted price Which was well in there range. The ship soonn found its designated pad and quickly landed. After a minor debate Jon and Tia left the ship and A12 to search for the jedi they seek.

After a small amount of time the two desided to stop for a drink in a the nearest cantina they could find (which wasn't hard as there seemed to be more of them than the rest of the buildings in this sector. As they sat and drank their corillian ales, Jon began to feel strange as if he was near somthing powerful as he turned around he saw a young adult human male and young adult male sullustian. They were arguing with the a pair of Trandoshans. As he watched these events take place he saw another Three trandoshans slowly creep up behind them.

It was obvious that they were going to attack the Human and sullustian, Jon could not thet two people be attaced from behind and he ignited his saber and jumped at the creeping Trandoshans. The human and sullustian then swung round igniting Light sabers aswell. Jon was confused they did not look like jedi and their saber coulours were neithur red or purple and their skin was not distorted. All Five trandoshans then attacked the three force adepts allowing them to quickly dispose of 3 of them with their sabers the forth was shot by tia with her wrist gauntlet, The fifth then ran away.

Human- "Who are You?"

Jon- "I'm Jon freeman and this is Tia Nasai... Who are you two?"

Human- "Well I'm Jace and this is Nee..."

Jace was interupted by a blaster shot that just missed him, it was shot from The trandoshan they let escape.

Jace- " We better get out of here... Come on i have safe house."

Iallia looked up from the console. Rage was quickly building inside of him like never before.

Iallia- "Admiral, prepare boarding parties. Give the men orders to bring me the Rakatan Leader. (slowly, with deturmination)Then, kill them; kill them all."

Ruzar- "As you wish my Lord."
_________

Several invasion craft streaked towards the Rakatan ships. They moved in close and docked to their outer hatches. If the Rakatan wouldn't let them in, the Sith blew the hatches open. Inside the vessels, the Sith Soldiers were relentless, killing, and sometimes mutilating, any Rakatan they encountered.

Diraa was on one of the boarding parties as a detachment on the Rakatan Flagship. He personally was getting all kinds of enjoyment from wiping out the Rakatan. His own rage was all the more satisfied with every deadly stroke of his lightsaber. His group quickly worked their way towards the bridge. Diraa approached the door to the bridge, only to find it locked.

Diraa then stabbed the door with his lightsaber, and began to slice it open. Before long, the locking mechanism on the door was nothing more than molten metal, and Diraa simple used the Force to part the door open. Immidiately, the bridge members began to fire small pistols at him. Diraa quickly began to deflect the bolts, some of them directly back at the attackers.

With supporting fire from the Sith Soldiers, the defenders quickly fell. Diraa triumphantly entered the bridge, calmly walking over bodies. Diraa then closed his eyes and felt with the Force. He could feel one Rakatan hiding behind a console. Diraa could even feel the double-bladed vibrosword it was carrying. Then he noticed that a cloaking field was around him. Interesting.

Diraa calmly reached out with the Force and picked up the Rakata by the throat. The cloaking field deactivated as the Rakatan dropped the sword and grasped its throat. It was an intersting site to see a Rakatan gasping for air while being suspended in mid-air. Then, Diraa flung the Rakatan across the Bridge.

Diraa- (yelling)"Where is he?? Where is your leader hiding at??"

Diraa once again picked up the Rakatan, this time with his hands. Diraa held him at arms length and began to crush the Rakatan's neck with his bare hands.

Diraa- "Where did you place him??"

Rakatan- "I.....*gasp* won't give you.....*gasp* the satisfaction..*gasp*"

Diraa- (menacingly)"Then I will rip it from your screaming mind."

With that, Diraa threw the Rakatan down on the ground. Concentrating his malace and hatred, Diraa began to connect with the Rakatan's mind. Prodding and cutting into the Rakatan's mind, the Rakatan began to scream and writhe on the the ground while holding its head.

Diraa prodded further. All the while, focusing images of pain and extreme suffering into the Rakatan's mind. Finally, Diraa began to feel an image surfacing in the creature's mind. An image of another Rakatan. Going deeper, Diraa could feel that this Rakatan was very important, and finally, a single word surfaced in the Rakatan's mind: Master. He was in a ready room with a cloaking device on.

Diraa ceased the Mind Probe and looked down at the pitiful Rakatan who was still writhing in agony on the floor. Diraa looked over at the sword it dropped and picked it up with the Force. Putting his foot down on top of the Rakatan's head, Diraa carefully placed the tip of the sword on the top of the Rakatan. The tip was sharp and a small amount of blood began to seep through the small hole that was just made. Diraa then put all of his weight on the sword, suddenly pushing its way through the Rakatan's head, impaling it into the metal floor.

Diraa stepped back. The Rakatan ceased movement, and the sword remained standing. With an evil sneer, Diraa turned and headed towards the Ready Room that he saw in the Rakatan's mind.

Jon and Tia had followed the two force user to a rundown apartment not to far away from the cantina. Jon had explained the story of him collecting this 'Army of the light' and how he felt that Jace and Nee were proberly suppose to follow him in this army.

Jon- "So how did you two end up on Nar Shaddar?"

Jace- "We both had just taken the trials on dantooine halfway through the war. We were put together due to our inexperiance in galactic didlomacy, This also led to us not being allowed to leave dantooine. When the sith came to bombard the planet we Were loaded on to a civilian ship to escape. anyway it brought us here and we thought lets lay low until this thing with the sith has blown over."

Jon- "Our meeting is more than a coininsciance, surely you must see that."

Nee- "Look we have seen alot of wierd things here on nar shaddar and this would not be the worse."

Jon- "So you will join me."

Jace- "as you said it's our destiny, What do you want us to do?"

Jon- "Stay here its safe the sith won't be able to detecte the gatherine of jedi on this planet. I'll send the other members here untill i've found them all And then i'll return."

Jon and Tia left towards their ship.

The sound of crunching bones and gasping for breath briefly pierced the room. The Rakatan leader then collapsed on the floor, very close to death. Iallia stood over him and glared down with a menacing stare. Iallia then began his own mind probe on the leader, looking and searching for the Rakatan homeworld, all the while bombarding the Rakatan with images and feelings of utter horror and helplessness.

Images began to surface, images of a desert world, then images of a large grassland world. Iallia instanty recognized the grassland world: it was Dantooine. But Iallia was getting a feeling that those were simply worlds that had been conquered, not homeworlds.

Finally, images came that were of a massive rain forest. feeling and probing, Iallia detected faint hints of warmth and welcome. it was home for the Rakatan. Iallia concentrated further into that world and began getting into the technical data. locations, coordinates, defenses, they were all apart of the logistical side. then, he came to images and feelings of a group of Rakatan: his family.

Hatred instantly swelled into Iallia's mind, and Iallia began to place images of his family being tortured alive. The Rakatan began to squirm in both terror and anger, but Iallia then placed the Rakatan itself into a position of almost being there. suddenly, it was as if they were both there, watching as Sith Soldiers were torturing the Rakatan's family. The Rakatan screamed in helplessness and anguish as Iallia simply looked over at the Raktan with a cruel sneer.

Then, Iallia quickly stopped the mind probe. The Rakatan was shaking in fear, anguish, and pain all at once from Iallia's tortures as well as Iallia's mind probe.

Iallia- "Your world is about to become a desolate wasteland, and your people will cease to exist. I will wipe all of them from the face of the galaxy. And your pitiful fleet is nothing more than the first part of it that will fall. And you, my friend, will witness it all as you watch helplessly from my ship. Together, the both of us shall witness the complete demise of the Rakatan."

[Coruscant]

Anor Kon looked upward to the sky as the Ragnarok exploded in the upper atmosphere and with massive speed what was left of the Ragnarok begun to drop out of the sky and collide into the surface of Coruscant. Many structures and much more were destroyed on impact...The only operational part that remained of the Ragnarok was the Bridge and the Hartram Ultra Beam Cannon.

Anor Kon gazed into the opening between the vast number of structers that were scarred of explosions and blood, seeing the Ultra Beam Cannon rise through the horizon..this gave him an idea..Anor Kon twirled around and had a word with Alpha Seargent [sp?].

"I have a mission for you, but I will not tolerate the failure of this mission..." Saying with a sick smile

[Jedi Temple Entrance Stairs]

The Sith numbers were thin, nearly half a million were called to the battle and now being so close, they only had twenty thousand remaining, and they're numbers were being cut short quickly. Anor Kon along with Jedi Invasion Parties stormed the historic staircase deflecting bolts back torwards their enemy and cutting down any who dared to stand in their way, Anor Kon felt the rush of life as he cut down servants of the Light, a very sick smile begun to curl on his lips.

Anor Kon severed a worthy Jedi from the waist down sending what's left of the Jedi tumbling down the steps. Anor Kon stood proudly ontop of a pile of Republic soldiers his free hand rose to the sky triumphantly, suddenly a firey ring erupted from the ground formed around the corpses scorching the closest limbs to the outter part of the pile. Anor Kon's voice was heard amongst the explosions erupting along the walls of the Jedi Temple.

"My minions of the Darkside storm the Temple leave none alive!... I want Revan for myself!"

The Sith Soldiers roared with determination and hatred as dozens by dozens of battalions begun to storm into the Temple..

The oricle left the landing pad on nar shaddar and began to fly out of the planets atmosphere. The crew were in the cockpit

Tia- "So where to now?"

Jon- "We have to go to dantooine."

A12- "That would be unadvisable, The Rakata have gained control of that planet."

Jon- "Well that's where we are going, Put us on minimal power. We'll try and sneak past them."

The ship then shot out of the gravity well and entered hyperspace.

(((Sorry . . . I've been working a lot, so yeah, it looks like I've missed quite a bit. And that's not fair to wildjedi, so sorry O_O Could you guys catch me up on what's going on? Because that's a lot to read and I really don't wanna read it right now. I just wanna post, but I'm lazy and tired and dead -_-)))

((OOC- Oh where to begin (perhaps from your last post) Jon, Tia and A12 were free to leave the sith Inprisonment by Darth Iallia and jon threatened him not to cross his path again or he may kill Iallia. So Jon and Tia went to tatooine to find a jedi master, who told him that he had to gather an 'army of the Light' to bring peace to the galaxy and vanquish the darkside. So i went to nar shaddar and got two members of this army of twelve (The army is going to be NPCs so they can be killed without permission).

Iallia let my PCs go as he beleives they are not a threat to him or his crusade. While still in orbit around manaan he was attacked by a Rakata fleet who he eventually defeated and captured the fleet commander and torchered him to find the location of his homeworld.

Darth Krow is still attacking coruscant he landed on the planet with his army and has began to attack the jedi temple hunting for revan. Most of his ship has been destroyed and he has lost the vast majority of troops. he still has a weapon in orbit that is strong.

These are Xstreme simplifications and stringerhs and Darth_krow may want to go into more detail. I hope it's clear and i havan't confused you.))

((i think starmark just about covered the basics. ;)

the one exception is that Iallia let Jon and his companions go because he sensed they had yet to play some part in future events. and Iallia didn't want Jon starting some sort of coup d'etat that he felt would be inevitable if Jon joined with him. sorry if that wasn't outright said previously guys.))

On a field of dantooine several rakata troops stood shooting their blaster rifle at a building. The weapons weren't only doing superficial damage to the building. Suddenly a Female Zabrak dived out of a window facing towards the troops. The zabrac pulled out a double bladed lightsaber and ignited its yellow blade as she landed infront of the Rakata. She began to attack the troops and before long they were all dead.

Suddenly a Rakata gunship flew infront of the zabrak and aimed all its weapons at her. Moments later a Rakata troop lander set down near the building and 60 troops exited. The rakata begun to surround her and aim their weapons. The zabrak knew she was greatly outnumbered and outgunned, she knew that if she fought she would not survive.

As she was abut to surrender a missile shot through the sky and hit the gunships port engines causing it to spin out of control and crash in the middle of a group of troops. The troops began to disperce and fire wildly in all directions out of confusion. The zabrak stood still almost confused as the Rakata looking around as the rakata scattered. The oricle flew in from the direction the missile came from and used The turret on its belly to begin shooting at the scattering troops.

When there were no troops left alive in the area the ship landed with its loading ramp facing the zabrak. As the hatch opened Jon began to walk down it and approached her.

Zabrak- "Now should i thank you or fight you?"

Jon- "Well i just saved your life so a thank you will be fine."

Zabrak- "Thank you, but why would you help me."

Jon- "I need you too help me."

Zabrak- "I don't even know who you are why should i help you."

Jon- "I'm Jon freeman, we should talk."

Zabrak- " I'm Saia Noa, Come in."

Jon and Saia walked into her house where Jon explained the prophercy and How he felt drawn to her as she was proberly a member of the army. After a few drink he persuaded her to go to Nar Shaddar and await instructions.

[Jedi Temple]

Out through the dust and debris came the Sith Shock Troops equiped with massive smartguns they took position on either side of the door and begun to blow away the opposition into oblivion. Dozens of more Sith Ground Troops, while the rest of the Army waited outside for further orders. The Jedis gave plenty resistance, causing many Sith to retreat, the Brave stayed and fight.

Anor Kon had the look of confusion as many Sith left the Temple in a rush. Shouting at the top of his lungs...

"YOU SOLDIERS GET BACK IN THERE OR BE CUT DOWN WITHOUT MERCY!"

Every soldier whom left the Temple reentered only to be cut down by the Jedi and with Republic support. Only a few Sith Ground Troops were left along with the Sith Shock Troops. The Shock Troops were forced to use the Mandalorian Assault Rifles that littered the ground from former Sith Soldiers. Noone was firing as Jedi accompanied by Republic Soldiers surrounded the remaining Sith at the door. The Jedi who spearheaded the first Defense wave stepped forward wearing a white robe with a blue lightsaber ignited in his hand.

"May you put down your weapons and come peacefully or die along with the rest of your soldiers.."

The Shock Troop leader didn't move, but gestured torwards the Jedi with hate.

"We will never give up! Even, if you destroy us all Anor Kon will live on to bring the fall of the Republic and Jedi!"

Whispers filled the room, the Republic and Jedi must of never got the news of Anor Kon's arrival.

"Anor Kon...here?"

Suddenly the marlble tiles many Republic soldiers stood on ripped from the floor bringing the Soldiers with them causing them to either get crushed by rocks or survive the blast, but receive some punishing consequences. Anor Kon suddenly swooped down from the rafters and begun to destroy everyone who stood in his way...

Iallia looked over the datapad. It was the final version of the treaty that was about to be adopted with the Selkath. Finally, Iallia set the datapad down in front of him and signed it.

Iallia- "Very well. We will restore full function of the kolto distribution to you as soon as we can. Thank you for your cooperation, gentlemen. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more urgent matters to attend to."

All of the Selkath deligates stood up and bowed to Iallia. Iallia returned the bow and left the room. He headed for his meditation chamber and began to concentrate on his next move.
__________

There was a Republic Military Outpost about 20 parsecs away from Taris in a very isolated system. But it was more than just a random military base: it was also a very large ore mine and refining station. That military outpost was responsible for almost 14% of the entire Republic Fleet's numbers.

Iallia remembered Revan telling him about the station several years ago at the start of the Mandalorian War, before Iallia left the Jedi. At the time, Iallia didn't believe that such a place would be much value, but after Revan explained how much ore was estimated to be in that system, Iallia understood why it must never fall to the Mandalorians.

Now, the outpost must fall to a different invader: the Sith. Iallia broke his meditation and went into his quarters to notify his Chiefs of Staff.

The oricle began to fly out of Dantooine followed closely by a fighter piloted by Saia. As the two craft left the atmosphere they split up.

Jon(com)- "Just head to the corillian sector, Jace and Nee will meet you at the landing pad they reserved."

Saia(com)- "Thanks Jon, Don't be too long."

The fighter then shot into hyperspace heading for Nar Shaddar. the oricle quickly followed suit and Entered hyperspace.

Tia- "Jon are you sure about this?"

Jon- "We have to go there i'm being drawn there."

Tia- "But rumours are the sith are attacking it."

Jon- "A risk we need to take."

Tia- "Coruscant it is then."

The small fighter left hyperspace. It quickly detached itself from the hyperdriver and cloaked itself. It headed into the system. Passive scanners lit up like crazy from the large numbers of Republic vessels. Well over 50 space docks were scattered throughout the system, each one accompanied by another 10-20 Republic starships of varying classes.

Diraa continued to pilot the Sith Fighter, making sure that he didn't get the fighter too close to several Repbulic Warships. His equipment easily able to pick specific locations of enemy emplacements, and marked several others by feeling outwards with the Force.

Here, the Republic was careless and, aside from the shipyards, most seemed to be more or less in lazily designed formations. A sudden attack would quickly cripple a fleet in this condition. Diraa guessed that the Republic likely didn't know that the Sith knew of its existance, which was why it was so lazily defended.

Diraa continued to pilot the fighter in towards the mining colony. The mining operation itself was quite large, and its size was even larger when you factored in the refinery, the processing plants, and the manufacturing plants. It was a massive scale operation, and the Republic had been using it for years on end. Of course, Diraa often wondered how the ore was discovered here in the first place. The planet itself was quite barren, and it could hardly sustain life of any kind. Most of the plants relied on special atmospheric converters that made conditions suitable for the numerous workers.

And that is where Diraa was heading. He landed the fighter fairly close to the converters. Attaching specialized breathing equipment, Diraa exited the fighter. Looking around, Diraa quickly headed into the service shafts for the converters.

The oricle droped out of hyperspace a few klics from coruscant they saw what seemed to remain of a battle in high orbit. The battle seemed to consist of most of the coruscants stationary defence forces and a single ship. Jon thought that must have been one hell of a ship and Judgeing from what remained of it. It was a completly individual ship and was well armed. For a moment he thought it was Darth iallias flagship but the structure didn't match. It was still obviously sith as only them on the rakata would attack and the rakata had an entirely differant technology. Tia was listerning to The com channels and turned to jon with alook of shook.

Tia- "The temple is under attack."

Jon- "What?"

Tia- "The Sith are attacking the temple."

Jon- "Thats not good, Thats where we are going."

The oricle flew towards the temple but moved to a high building near it and landed.

[Temple]
The Temple was nearly destroyed from the inside, many parts have already caved in due to the fierce battle. Many great Jedi have died as they attempted to restore peace, while many more Sith died for trying to destroy the Jedi Temple. There was no such thing as the Sith army..there were only Acolytes and the Sith Shock Troops remaining. Obviously outnumbered Anor Kon had to think, with the very little time he had to think. Turning to face the remaining Sith he said,

"We have lost many in this battle, but we must remain strong, I will not want to pull back even if I die, we've came too far to die!"

Anor Kon turned his back to the remaining Sith under his command and begun to walk forward as a dozen Jedi Knights came around the corner of the hallway and ignited their weapons.
Anor Kon turned his body sideways and said something torwards his men..

"For the Sith!"

With that he ignited his Sith Lightsaber and charged torwards the Jedi awaiting him, hearing his men roar with pride as they followed their leader into battle...

Anor Kon lashed out torwards the Jedi, cutting one down instantly while the rest took defensive fighting forms. The defensive fighting forms still didn't provide enough support for each Jedi, because they couldn't deflect a blaster bolt and a Lightsaber at the same time. Anor Kon's new combatant had a hard time catching up to his lethal blows, but he still parried another strike by Anor Kon, but he left himself wide open in the midsection to be kicked and then cut into peices, while he was bent downward from the kick. Anor Kon looked around at his surroundings seeing this was much different then the rest of the Temple.

"Where are we sir?"

asked one of the Shock Troops, Anor Kon didn't bother to turn around and explain to him as he was looking at his surroundings much more closely, an Acolyte answered him instead of Anor

"Possibly the core of the Temple, well this is the only place Revan could hide in I mean, look at the rest of the Temple we either destroyed it or it wasn't of any val...Anor Kon we must spread out and look for Revan inside the core!"

Anor Kon didn't bother to say anything as he walked past the Acolyte. His mind was on greater things as he was looking around, suddenly Revan dropped from the dark ceiling and easily cut down an unexpecting Acolyte.

Anor Kon turned around to see Revan...

Although Diraa didn't have a cloaking generator, he could still use a Force technique that allowed him to be perfectly invisible. Moving softly, Diraa headed through the facility. Diraa finally found the decompression chamber that was required for entrance since the outside atmosphere wasn't breathable. Studying it, Diraa cursed to himself: the decompression chamber also had a scanner on it that would check for something, probably an ID tag of some kind. Diraa figured that otherwise, there would be no other way to enter the facility.

Cursing to himself, Diraa headed for a more popular decompression chamber so that he could 'obtain' whatever it was that he needed to get what he needed.
_________

Diraa studied the workers that were going in and out of the facility. There was some security around, but it wasn't even composed of Republic Troops. Instead, as Diraa observed, they seemed to be quite corrupt little 'enforcers'. They often demanded certain oddities from the workers as they passed through the checkpoints, most of it was chunks of ore.

This surprised Diraa a bit. Perhaps this meant that more than the Republic had an interest in this place. His first thought was the Exchange. It was a viable theory since the Exchange often had access to confidential Republic Databanks and would thus know of this base's existence. Moving in closer, Diraa also noiticed that the demands made for the ore were non-verbal, and every exchange was done with simple hand-gestures that he couldn't make out from a distance.

Diraa also noticed that the workers were ungloving there hands and having them placed on some sort of scanner. That meant that security was controlled by handprint identification. It was new, very expensive, and it only worked for humans or humanoids with similar styles of hands. It was then that Diraa noticed that well over 90% of the workers were human, and all of them were male. Watching were they were heading, Diraa noticed that they were heading to another part of the facility, the part that resembled a living facility from outside.

Watching them head inside through more security checkpoints, he realized that they were prisoners, and this was nothing more than a massive scale prison camp for the Republic. It was very likely that former Sith Soldiers that had been captured during the war were stationed here. Perhaps some even had abilities with the Force.

Heading towards the prison barracks, Diraa noticed that the security checkpoints consisted of a brief scan through a scanner, probably for ore and makeshift weapons, and nothing else. Apparently, the Republic didn't monitor the prisoners much within the barracks. This would make things much simpler for Diraa. Remaining cloaked, Diraa hid his lightsaber in a remote spot and waited for the next prisoner to go through the scanner.

As he entered, a force field surrounded the prisoner while a scanner ran down it. Diraa noticed that often times two or more prisoners went into the scanner area and were then allowed entrance. Diraa quickly took his chance and carefully squeezed himself into the scanner area. Diraa quietly hoped that the scanner wouldn't detect him.

It didn't detect him, and the force field into the barracks was opened. Diraa quietly stepped inside and out of the way.

Kon and tia had managed to get into the Ruined temple the doors had been blasted open. Bodies of sith and republic troops scattered the floor along with dark and light Jedi. Jon Moved forward ever ready for an attack from some sith that may have remained in the temple. The two moved along the path of destruction in a hope to find any survivors or at least the person he was being drawn to.

The two carried on moving forward Then Jon felt somthing from a fallen jedi. The Kel dor jedi seemed dead but he still felt drawn to him as if he was amember of the army he had to collect. Jon reached down and felt the body it was physically dead but the force still resided in it. Jon concentrated on the body and tried to heal it. Much of his strength was used but the force still in the kel'dor was helping him heal until the jedis eyes opened.

Kel'dor- "How, what happened?"

Jon- "I was about to ask the same thing."

Kel'dor- "The temple was attacked, by a sith hunting revan. Who are you? what are you doing here?"

Jon- "This may seem strange but i was looking for you."

Kel'dor- "For the army of the light!"

Jon- "Yes, but how did you..."

Kel'dor- "I was told by a master it was my destiny to follow the ex-jedi saviour."

Jon- "We better head back to my ship."

Kel'dor- "No we must stop that sith before he does more damage."

Jon- "No I'll go alone, you and tia get out of here."

Diraa knew that he needed to get to some kind of warden's office to find out how to enter his handprint into the identification system. Studying his surroundings, Diraa sense that would be a difficult task give that the guard areas were protected by force fields. He was going to have to find some way to open the force fields before he could get to the scanner. Diraa decided the best way to do things would be to figure out a way to disguise himself.

That seemed to be the easy part. Moving around in the prison wasn't very difficult since most prisoners were currently being confined to their cells at the moment. Heavily armed guards were coming through the commons area and making sure the prisoners didn't give them any trouble. In the meantime, Diraa quietly headed for a map posted on the wall. Labeled were areas the prisoners were allowed to go. Finally, he found the label he was looking for: Laundry. Memorizing the directions, Diraa headed in that direction.

Jon walked down the corridore following the path of destruction. He moved slowly and with his force camoflarge active. He could sence many dark feeling further along the path and knew he was approaching the attackers.
