Kharne feat Gain: Master Two Weapon FIghting
Weapon Proficiency: Lightsaber
Jedi Defence

Kharne, with Tysy on his shoulder like a rag doll and holding Solidus by the leg upside down made his way past 3 Sith checkpoints. Making his way past the Engine Room a Sith Patrol Leader stepped towards Kharne.
"You! Mandalorian! Shouldn't you be guarding the girl?"
"Yeah, these two fools attacked us so we toasted them," Replied Kharne, "Now will you let me past?"
"Why? Where are you off to?"
"The Dumpster to get rid of these bodies."
"The dumpster's the other way... Wait a second you're not -!"
Kharne's eyes narrowed, leaving Tysy slung over his shoulder he let go, pulled out a plasma grenade and tossed it at the squad while his left foot whirled out and crushed the Sith Captain's nose, jabbing the bone into the man's brain.

"Too close that was." Said Solidus still hanging upside down from Kharne's grip.
"I know. The Captain's are getting smarter. Let's hurry, I'll bet -"

The alarm went off and a female voice sounded all around, "Attention all personal. The target has escaped. One or more of the assailants wear the Mandalorian armour as a disguise. Hunt them down." Within moments of hearing this, twenty Sith soldiers rounded the corner and stopped in surprise.

"Well... We're screwed now." Kharne dropped Tysy on her feet and tossed her the Mandalorian Assault Rifle, dropping Solidus from his other hand he pulled out his blasters, his face a grim mask.

Aegis twirled his lightsaber, circling around the immobile Sith woman wielding the red double blade. Stepping over a dead Dark Jedi Aegis whirled into action, closing in on the Dark jedi in Ataru form, Aegis feinted to the right, bringing his left foot crashing into the woman's lower ribs, she stumbled back, Aegis pressed his assault whirled his blade up, down, right, left, thrust, parry he forced the Sith woman back. She brought the double blade down with a crushing blow, Aegis wasready, falling onto one knee, his right leg snapped out tripping her, but instead of being dumped to the ground she used one hand to press against the floor propelling herself back and nimbly onto her feet. Her hood fell back and revealed a mature woman with long brown flowing hair, green eyes and high cheekbones. Looking at her one would think she'd be a harmless, gentle woman however it had a profound effect on Aegis.

Is - Islena!?
"I am surprised you recognise me Aegis after all you have put me through."
It... I... It wasn't my fault! I had no way to reach you!
"So, aboard the Mauler during the War of the Lawful Sith you left me to die?" She said calmly.
I could not reach you! The Sith had barricaded the door, I had a mission to destroy the ship befopre it reached Coruscont with its plasma generator!
"And you leave me, in the midst of a Sith battalion to die? No, not die, to be captured. Do you have any idea what they did to me Aegis? Any idea at all?" Her voice rising.
No, I...
"Shut up! You no longer have the right to speak! they tortured me for six months! I cannot even describe what it was like for me! Every day I would think my master would come to save me, every day, and yet you never came. What did you do? Forget about me?"
I...
"Do not speak! I had to use my own abilities which the Sith used on me to escape! I killed my way out of the Oregon! Do you know what it is like, having the blood of hundreds on your hands? And I had to use dark powers! You lied to me all these years! What evil is the darkside besides the description of what the fool Jedi give them?"
But...
"No more words! Today you will feel the pain of which I felt ten fold!"

Screaming in fury, Islena assaulted Aegis, pushing him back, her blade whirled to the left, Aegis made to parry, but she suddenly changed direction, jerking the other blade towards Aegis. Aegis ducked and she brought her knee up smashing Aegis down the corridor and cracking the glass covering Aegis's eyes. Aegis rolled over on his stomach, got on one knee and stood up, parrying another blow towards his head, Islena kicked him square in the stomach, slamming him against the wall, as Islena approached the rasping Aegis, he gripped his lightsaber backhanded and brought it up to her chest, she easily parried and slammed her gauntlet fist into Aegis face, cracking the left glass even more. Gripping him by the robe she threw him into the other wall and tossed him to the ground. Aegis got up, and wobbly stood in the form of Juyo, twirling his lightsaber expertly (if a bit slowly) he assaulted Islena, after trading a series of blows, Aegis swung an arc designed to cleave her in two, she bent backward, drawing her fist back and slammed it into his stomach, as he doubled over her lightsaber came up searing his saber arm off entirely. Aegis screamed and stumbled back, falling against the wall his lightsaber clattering down the coridor. Falling onto his back, Aegis stared up with his remaining eye as Islena stepped towards him. Lifting him up by the throat she sneered, "And so the Grey Jedi Aegis Valheru falls to the hands of his former Padawan, Dark Jedi Islena Hlervu." She raised her lightsaber for a decapitating swing but stopped, looking at the pitiful form of her former master. Snorting in disgust she deactivated her lightsaber and tossed him to the ground. "Pathetic." She said as she walked back to her snub fighter.

Aegis moaned. The oxygen stung his left eye, he screamed as he felt its fire burn. Getting up and leaning on his remaining arm he crawled towards the broken wall where he knew was the hangar. temporarily using the Force to block his pain he crawled on hand and knees to the door. He saw the Sith soldiers assaulting the Twilek Jedi as she deflected shots. He used what was left of his strength to use Force Camoflage and climbed through onto the Myriad's cargo ramp. Crawling just past the ramp he collapsed and fell into sweet, sweet oblivion.

Islena Hlervu hopped in her snub fighter and escaped the corpse of a ship the frigate was becoming and jumped to hyper space back to Darth Sinister.

"This is where it gets interesting mandalorian." Solidus soon got a bad head ache "Arrg, Aegisk has been hurt. I'm going to have to ruin our connection before I fall unconious." Solidus canceled his and Aegisk mental connection and used force heal. "I couris. Where are we going? The hanger or main rector?"

Kharne's mental connection with Aegis suddenly fizzled out, snorting in surprise he dragged Solidus and Tysy behind a pillar under the fire from the Sith battalion.

"Head back to the ship, Aegis's ship has a Cranium Detonator placed inside just in case for situations like this. Its explosion alone will rip this ship apart. Get out first." shoving Tysy towards the corridor Kharne stepped out from behind the pillar with his shield on, going toe to toe with the battalion Kharne slowly retreated down the corridor, his blasters blazing, and Sith troops falling, he stepped past the blast door and jammed it closed and ran to follow SOlidus and Tysy.

((Before I forget: Can anyone here actually picture my fight scenes?))

((I could give it a try TreeX. You want KOTOR design, right?))

Here's Aegis meeting up with Islena. The fact that your battling one of her droids before her. :whtsmile: Also that might not work as Aegis for you but i looked and that one was on a ship 2 jedi and one girl with red staff unless Islena didn't have a red staff lightsaber.

Coryn sat in the cockpit of the Republic snub fighter. He was growing uneasy, partly because of the quiet in the hangar, and partly because Kharne, Soludis, and the rest had not showed up yet. Jumping out of the cockpit he looked around the hangar, looking for a comlink. Unfortunately, as he had lost his, and there was none here, he couldn't contact them to find out what was taking them so long. Hope everything is going well with them. A dark Jedi came out of the door next to him. Cause it sure isn't going well for me.

Leaping to the side, he rolled and came up with his blasters facing the dark Jedi. The Sith's two red and purple sabers ignited, and the Sith lept at him. Dodging the sabers, he blasted at the Sith, but the shots were all deflected or dodged. Grabbing his vibroblade, he swung at the Sith's head. The Sith raised his hand, and Coryn found himself flying through the air, victim of a "force push." Rolling to the side, Coryn tossed a plasma grenade, which exploded harmlessly off to the side of them. Getting up, he charged the Sith, swinging his blade as fast as he could. Letting his blade lock with the Sith's saber, he let it be forced down, and then punched the Sith in the face.

Feat Gain: Flurry
Coryn Class Skill: Dual Ranged-Melee (This feat allows Coryn to carry both a melee weapon and a ranged weapon at the same time)

The Sith stunned him, and as he stumbled back, the Sith raised his blade. Bringing his hand up to block it, Coryn fell back. The Sith came for him, and as Coryn brought up his hand, the Sith went flying back and fell to the ground. The Sith stumbled back, and Coryn pulled out his blaster and shot several times. Bringing his blade down again, he fought with the Sith, forcing him back, while shooting his blaster. Finally, a shot caught the Sith in the chest and he died.

What the... What in the galaxy did I just do? It was almost like I used the.. No, that Sith must have tripped. Still in amazement at what had happened, he Headed over to the door. Coryn looked out. He should probably wait there for them, and offer help if they needed. Waiting for 15 minutes, Coryn paced impatiently up and down. Blast it! Where are they?

THULE

A beeping at the comm console had caught Darth Sinister's attention. He stood up and pressed the activation button. "Why have you disturbed me?" He spoke in an eerie tone. Commander Grann responded quickly "Master....your Meta_human mutations are now fully infused with the force, their mental inhibitors have renedered them complete slaves to your service."

Darth Sinister smiled evily. "Excellent." Commander Grann continued. "Sir, The girl has been rescued from the firgate near Korriban. Our enemies have revealed themselves as you predicted they would."

"Of course they did, the Jedi are nothing, if not predictable. They took my bait, and showed themselves. So tell me Grann what fledgling force have they sent to find us this time?" Sinister asked cockily.

"Well reports indicate, the girl, two mandalorians, a republic officer, a wookie, and 3 jedi, a twilek female, a kel dor male, and a tiny alien......not sure of his species." The commander responded. "That is all commander." as Sinister turns off the comm. He turns to face his vicious servant Tretiak, who had quietly been listening to the reports.

"Massster, thessse foolssss, will be of no concern, I engaged them all quite easily, had I not been on a mission to capture the child, I would have made them all beg for mercy, before I slew them. The wookie, is familiar to me, and I would very much like to add his pelt to my wall." Hissed Tretiak.

"Yes, the next time we encounter them, will be the day the republic dies, the day my abominations run wild accross the galaxy, bringing death and panic. With the plague striking at the heart of the force, limiting the Jedi, our victory will be so much simpler.
Ah yes the wookie, why should it concern you, there are greater challenges within that pitiful band i'm sure." Sinister declared

"I remember the sound of his growl, his essence, he is the child of a family I once enslaved, and slaughtered, they shielded him from me when he was young, I seek to put an end to him, I detest loose ends." Tretiak snarled.

"Patience Tretiak, Patience, In time he will seek you out, and when he does do what you will with him. Do what you will with all of them, wipe them from the face of the Galaxy."

Tysy, now rescued, definitely had some "splaining" to do. To Kharne and
Aegis, and the others with her, she bowed her head modestly.

"I don't know what I was thinking, imagining that a primitive version
of Force Push would somehow hinder that Trandoshan from capturing
me. I put all of your lives at risk with that foolish act, and I'm sorry.
What kind of a Padawan am I, getting captured when our first mission
had barely started?! Something tells me I'd better reach out to the
Council through the Force and tell them they've got the wrong girl."

"You'll do no such thing," Taa'la hissed. "I don't fail well and I'm not about to have this mission fall apart simply because you think you caused your own capture. We press on."

Dark Side points gained

((Is everybody close to or on the ship?))

((I'm assuming they are but wut da bleep wy hasnt anyone noticed a half dead Aegis @_@? And Jedi Atomic i was wondeirng if you understood it not if you could make a pic of it lol))

Lying folded up in his cloak by the cargo ramp, Aegis groaned in pain, his left hand tenderly touching the stump which had been his arm. Moaning a bit he curled up into a ball and felt the embrace of unconsciousness.

"better think we should fly off," said Kharne, he borrowed Coryn's comlink and had a chat with Scur, "get off the ship unless you want to be fried meat. I give you 5 minutes starting now. 300...299...298..."

"With your capturing it has revealed an enemy. I have a contact on Yavin station who knows more about trandosian than trandosians do. And finding out who these trandosains are we will find there sith alleys"

((TreeX what do you mean by pics? drawings? or custom battles while your playing KOTOR? explain, and i might understand better.))

Scur grabbed his comlink, "Hello, anyone come in, hello?" yelled Scur into the comlink.

Some random Republic soldier picked it up and Spoke into it. "Hello?"
"Hey, wheres your captain?"
"he's dead. Many of us found jedi dead on the ground and some dark jedi jumped at us while we were examing them and started killing everyone at the same time almost." wimpered the soldier. " Hurry and come over to the South hallway. Few of us are left don't know if we survive." Suddenly the remaining soldiers started yelling at the soldier talking to Scur. In the background Scur hears the comlink hit the ground and then there's blaster sounds through the comlink. Scur commmanded his comrades to folow him. They ran out of the medical room and down to the South hallway. When they got to the South hallway they seen republic soldiers lined along the wall.
"We can't hold them off come help us." Said the leading soldier of the group. Scur and his men ran over to the wall next to the soldiers and waited. Rayce walked to the corner and grabbed a grenade from his belt and through it at the group of Sith troopers after a pause in the firing. He leaped back yelling at the soldiers to get back, and it exploded seconds after a chain reaction occured and yelling came from down the hall, of the Sith troopers dieing. Scur and the rest of the Republic soldier run through the smoke of the grenade and hurry to the hangar.
When the gate opens, a mandalorian, Coryn, pulls out his blaster and is shocked but notices it's republic soldiers. The men walk into the hangar and they stop. Scur walks up to the Mandalorian, "Wheres the Jedi girl, Aegis told me she was saved through the force?" he questioned Coryn, wondering if he knew.

"I don't know, I heard that she was rescued, but that is all I know. I am waiting for them to take off. What are you, Republic Soldiers doing here? And what do you have to do with us, or the Sith" Coryn replied.

"We were on Taris when the Officer sent us on a mission to save a jedi girl needing to fight the source of something called a plague." replied Scur. "I think we are few of the remaining loyal Republic left in the universe." Rayce added from the crowd of soldiers waiting for the dropship to retreive them.

Another Hangar door suddenly opened, Tysy ran forth towards the Myriad and what she recognised as the Mandalorian, Coryn.
Moments later Solidus leapt out from the same door, deflecting a few blaster shots as he did so, and bounded towards the gathered party.

After a few more moments, Kharne backed out into the hangar blasting down the few remaining Sith still following. Smiling at the tattered remnants of the SIth battalion, he hit the blast door activator and the door jamed itself shut. Kharne proceeded to turn on all the mines he left on the way back. The explosions and screams were like sweet music to the Mandalorian's ears.

Dark Side Points gained: 5

Scur looked around at the remaining three crew members of the Myriad and cursed. "Men, get your ships and get out of here. Return to the Republic and notify them of what we have found."
Alexer, the highest ranking of them saluted crisply, started heading towards the way they came and saw the advancing Sith Troops. Looking around he saw the multitude of docked Sith Fighters.
"Get in the Sith ships men, do not engage! Retreat!"

Tysy, Coryn, Taa'la and Solidus immediately boarded the Myriad, Scur started heading to a Sith Ship but noticed a few dozen SIth rifles pointing his way, he gulped and got dragged into the freighter by the Kharne before the blasters pinged against the ship's closing doors.

Kharne looked at his timer, 24...23...22... Kharne snarled, rammed the rest of the crew out of the way,dropped his blasters and headed to the cockpit. He fired up the ship engines and just as the Myriad exited the Sith Ship, Aegis's Kamikaze Ship exploded, turning the Sith into one big fireball.

He got off the seat and sighing headed back to the cargo ramp to grab the blasters he dropped and noticed Taa'la standing over a cloaked figure.
Who..?
Kharne made his way to the unconscious form.

Taa'la sensed Kharne behind her and turned. "Your friend seems to have had an encounter he will not easily forget."

She turned again and knelt by Aegis using Force Heal on him.

Light Side points gained

Kharne stared down at his old friend in shock. Getting on one knee he noticed the damage to Aegis's glasses, pulling the spares from Aegis's robes he placed it carefully over the exposed eye. Hauling him up he dragged Aegis to the medbay.

Scur fell to the ground after being dragged into the Myriad. Scur quickly stood up, "Did Rayce make it off safely?" "Yes," replied Kharne walking towards Aegis.((sorry))

Scur walked followed Kharne to the medbay and watched. He wondered if Rayce and the other men are alright, but he remembered that escorts were outside yet defending.

Startled by Kharne's movement in taking Aegis to the med bay, Taa'la stood. She followed him slowly and stood at the head of the bed Aegis had been placed on.

"I'll do everything I can for him," she told Kharne. With that, she used Force Heal on Aegis again.

"Thats nice but we still need to get a piolt!" shouted solidus from the middle of the ship "Somebody needs to get us out of here and take us to Yavin station. NOW!"

Taa'la felt torn. She could pilot the ship, but Aegis needed help. With an exasperated sigh, she yelled to Solidus, "Get back here. Help the Kel Dor. I'll fly the ship."

She hurried out of the med bay and into the cockpit.

"Away we go," she whispered.

Solidus jumped on the side of the side and put his hand on Aegis. They both began to glow and Aegis wounds began to slowly heal. Several minutes later the wounds were healed. "I have heal his physical wounds. I dont know how much blood he's lost or how much life was drianed. Only time will tell."

(This might be my last post for several days. Because Im going to bristol. I'll be coming back on Sunday. You may use my character as an NPC but dont get him killed. I want to do that. But Noone is to use my characters untill thursday. Understood? Good)

Scur followed Taa'la to the cockpit, "I'll pilot this ship or atleast help. I've been trained." he said trying to convince her.

"Thanks," Taa'la said. "It's always helpful to have a copilot." She sat down in the pilot's seat and directed the ship away from the mess they were leaving behind. She half turned to Scur and said, "Start plugging in the coordinates for Yavin station. It sounds like that's where we're headed next."

"Right away," Scur punched in the coordinates to the Yavin station stationary above the gas giant. The stars became lines of light streaming past them and soon the lines became a bluish glow around them and they waited.
__________________

The buish glow ended and the lines of stars came back and soon back to pitch black with stars around them with a Orange planet straight ahead of them. Scur was amazed by this and looked everywhere soaking everything he was looking at, since this was his first time out of the Taris sector. He then focused on a small station just a little below them and then directed the Myriad towards that station.

Feat gained: Small star ship intermediate co-pilot.

Kharne twirled the orange bladed lightsaber around. Admiring the twin blades as they circled past each other,twisting, thrusting, parrying at imaginary foes he would seem outwardly calm, determined and simply practising. However if one were to have access to his thoughts, the term, One is not all it seems would be ironically fitting.

Who could have defeated Aegis so utterly? I know Aegis is by far not the most powerful of Force Users, but what could so utterly maul him?

Frowning with such thoughts repeating over and over in his head Kharne twirled his orange saber to the right, making 3 rapid jabs, he transferred the blade to his left hand, idly spinning the saber in front of him and watche dthe blade humm.

The warrior who defeated Aegis either was proficient at bladesmastery or was powerful with the Force to get in close and beat Aegis. Sith are animals, however even they wouldn't use such crude ways to inflict pain. Judging from Aegis's wounds that person had a personal vendetta against Aegis. But how... Aegis was captured during Bastila's Strike Force against Revan and before that he was busy with other parts of the war as a Padawan... He never made any enemies as a tradesman... He attacked the Lawful Sith ship... It's a shame about that girl he had with him... Pretty Lass, would have made a fine Jedi...

Kharne head snapped up, Islena? Impossible. She died during the assault. But at 14 she nearly beat me with a sword... And the wounds on Aegis were all physical.. No Force damage... Could it be... She must be very twisted though... The darkside of the Force can do that....

Kharne deactivated his lightsaber tossed it to the ground where it rolled and stopped by the door. He sat on the bunk, his feet flat against the ground, his elbows on his knees and he put his head in his hands, pondering his discovery...

+1 Intelligence


Aegis' memories of the confrontation flashed through his sleeping mind, he then began questioning himself whether he could have saved her or was a coward. Slipping into the healing trance he began to ponder such sudden Impacting events on his life.

I watched as Islena was overrun by Sith troops. I could do nothing! I had to stop the ship before it blasted a chunk out of Coruscant!
Are you sure?Asked an insidious voice in the back of his mind, Or were you just a coward, saving your own neck, where you could simply have to cut down two men where as the poor girl was being beaten by an entire battalion?
I had no choice! It is either a choice of whether I stop the ship and save all our lives!
Our lives? Do you mean your life? Your honour? You stopped it because it would have scrapped the vows you ahd taken all those years ago, was Islena as important to you as the empty words of a Jedi? No she was not. You can still save her you know. Teach her the power to break free of the hold this Darth Sinister has on her, teach her to destroy the fool and teach her what true power is!
Yes, I could, but will she listen? She is already more powerful then me -
Oh really? So you admit you do not have the power to bind this child? This wench that you trained? That you are an utter failure?
No... I can stop her..
Then do it! Teach her the meaning of pain! Show her how the power can be wielded by a master! Destroy her resistance and use her as a slave to carry out your bidding! Destroy her will and you will have yourself a vassal of death!
And there shall be no stopping us! I will lay waste to the Sith! The Sith will fall to me and then we shall use the resources of the Sith to build an Empire, an Empire of Aegis the First!

Dark side points gained 40

Aegis's eyes opened and looked up at Solidus, getting up, Solidus grunted "Getting up already? You should not. Do not tire yourself, I-"
Silence Jedi. I do not need lectures on you for my own limits. I will ask when I wish for your opinion.
Solidus watched silently as Aegis Valheru passed a hand over the bleeding stump where his arm connected to his shoulder. The blood stopped bleeding and it healed utterly simply leaving a stump covered in skin.

Aegis made his way to the workbench to create a lightsaber from the one he lost. Pulling out his purple crystal, his head twitched violently from side to side as he viewed what could be in thefuture...

(TREEX I'm gonna do some brief Dialog with Islena in this upcoming sequence, nothing to big, just a status report to Sinister.)

THULE (Labs)

Darth Sinister made his way into shuttle bay, along with his Trandoshan student. He approaced the small shuttle that had just docked. The ramp extended, and an attractive young girl, draped in black robes made her way down the ramp. He could sense the spoils of victory flowing from her being. "Ah Islena my dear, I trust your battle went well?". Sinister chided coldly.

Islena kneeled in front of Darth Sinister. " I.....confronted several of them my master. One imparticular, my old mentor Aegis. I dueled with him, he has become weak. I made him feel my pain, pain that you showed would make me stronger."

Sinister smiled, and replied. "Did you destroy him, did you wipe his essense from the galaxy?" Islena looked up into Sinister's cold red eyes. "NO master I did not, I let him live..." Tretiak Snarles and interupts her. "WEAKNESSSSSS, you alwaysssss displayed weaknesssss ISlena, your skillssssss are uselesss, if you cannot do what I would have done." Islena looks at Tretiak, straing g into his evil red reptilian eyes, and a half smile crossed her face. "Tretiak, you overgrown brute, tell me if i'm wrong, but didn't you fail to kill this roup earlier." She taunted. Tretiak nearly explodes into a force rage" I HAD MY ORDERSSSSSS, THE GIRL CAME FIRSSSST. I NEVER FAIL A MISSSSSION." He ignites his own saber, and extends his whip. "You have never bested me in a duel Islena, but if your skills are as big as your mouth, please I urge you to tesssst them." He hissed.

Sinister rolled his eyes. "ENOUGH" The dark lord shouted. "All grudges, and tests of strength will have to wait. As much as it would please me to see the two of you engage in mortal combat, we have more pressing things to attend to. This party of fools, and the death of the republic are all that matter now, so save your rage, and your hatred, ignite it against the Jedi."

Both apprentices deactivate their weapons, and salute the dark lord. Sinister turns to exit the lab followed by Tretiak." Oh Islena" Sinister spoke as he walked away. "Yes master?" "Do not fail me again, a Sith sees their oppoortunity to strike, and they take it without question, but you shall have another chance." As the continue out of the hangar bay, Tretiak glances hatefully over his shoulder into Islena's eyes, a gaze which she returns.......................

(((Interesting, Treex)))

Coryn sat at the workbench, tinkering with his weapons. The ship lurched through hyperspace, and then came out near Yavin IV. Looking out a viewport at the big red planet, he thought So this is Yavin. This must have been the place that Exar Kun fled to. With the Massassi, or whatever they were called. Turning back to the workbench, he fitted in the energy projector into his vibroblade. This thing took that fight with the fight with the dark Jedi hard, maybe I ought to get another one to go with the prototype vibro. A Baragwin one, maybe- I wonder if a merchant is here.

After fitting an mesh underlay into his battle armor, he got up and put his blaster in his holster. Walking to the cockpit he looked as Taa'la and Scur piloted the ship toward the planet. He wondered what Yavin IV was like; He had heard that there were several temples of the dark side there. Are we landing on a space station, or on one of the planets? I wonder, if since Yavin IV is supposed to be strong in the dark side, if the plague might be coming from there? He said nothing, however.

He remembered his Sith encounter. If that dark Jedi had been any more skilled... He shook his head and walked over to the med bay, to check up on Aegis. Seeing Kharne, he asked, "Is Aegis alright?"

Kharne nodded, then went back to twirling the lightsaber.

"What is the matter- you look like something is troubling you. " Coryn asked.

Attribute Gain: 1+ Intelligence
Skill Gain: 1+ Awareness

Still twirling his lightsaber he spoke, "I know who defeated Aegis. A woman named Islena. She used to be Aegis' Padawan after the Jedi Civil War. But she disappeared when we struck out at at a Lawful Sith suicide ship. You were not born when such events happened. But we on the other hand were very much alive. During our assault on the Sith Warship, Islena fell to mobbing from Sith troops. We had no choice but to destroy the ship. We believed that Islena died with it, apparently we were wrong..."

"How would you know Kharne? Aegis has not spoken to you sinc ethe battle."

"The wounds boy. When you've been in battle as much as me you can tell the difference between an indifferent kill, a bestial arrogant kill or the vengeful kill. Aegis would have died had she not had mercy.Leave me now. And do not approach Aegis least you suffer his wrath."

Sinsiter and Tretiak walked down the long observation corridor. Sinister watched happily as his new force bred mutations were being organized into their respective legions, he watched as they were given their armor, and their weaponery. An eager, and arrogant smile curled accross his lips. He thought to himslef about how soon the republic would fall, and how quickly the jedi would die. His attack would be perfect, there was no way he could be defeated. Sinister knew in his darkest heart of hearts, that the republic and the jedi were symbiotic. Should one fall, the other would surely follow. That is why Verack had devised the force plague. It would strike at the heart of the force, and therefore the heart of the jedi. With the Jedi focused on the plague, his dark armies would sweep accross the galaxy and topple a decrepit Republic. After the republic fell, the jedi would have nowhere to hide, and they would be hunted down like the animals that they are. His thoughts were disturbed however, by Tretiaks abismal hiss. "Masssssster, isss it wisssse to trussst her? She ssspared hisss life, she showed weaknesssss, and mersssssy. Let me kill her, I do not trusssst her, she issss not one of usssssss."

"Patience Tretiak, Patience, in time our enemies will all reveal themselves,. She still has some part to play in this tale, and I do not mean to dispose of her......yet." Sinister snickered. "Be ever mindful Tretiak, and be prepared, a sith never lets their guard down. Never trust, and never lower your guard." Sinister turned on a dime, his black cape swirling behind him. He ignited his blood red weapon, and brought it crashing down upon Tretiak, who had already ignited his weapon, and parried the blow. "Good my reptilian apprentice, you have done well." Sinister again lashed out with a series of lightning quick blows with his saber, which tretiak deflected. The lizard at this point lashe out at his master with his whip, which Sinister dodged with relative ease, Tretiak then charged forward, and attacked with a flurry of his own. Sinister parried all of the blows, with one hand, lept up over Tretiak's head landing behind him. He calmly deactivated his weapon, and clapped his hands in approval. "Good, good" He cackled. "You did not hesitate, and used you rage. You aggressive nature, trandoshan is your greatest weapon, use it, and you will find that few can stand in your way."

Tretiak bows before Darth Sinister as a form of great respect. "Thank you Massssster"

Tretiak Awawreness + 2

The space station became bigger and bigger and soon the hangar began to take shape. Soon The the Myriad flew into the hangar and slowly landed onto the metal hangar floor. Scur stood up and noticed a turret turn slowly towards the walking ramp, and then walked back to the main room and Kharne was practicing with his lightsaber.

Skill increased: Awareness +2

"OK, we're here." Scur told Kharne. "But they turrets look like they will fire on us once we walk down the ramp so i would keep guard." Scur called for everyone to the main lobby room over the com.

Even though Tysy was still partly kicking herself for being captured by the
Sith, she knew something else was wrong. She felt a deeper pain within
her soul, a deeper wound, a yearning for revenge that made her grind
her teeth. Something was wrong with this whole mission, the entire
scenario of the Force Plague, but what was it? What was Tysy
overlooking? Sighing sadly, she closed her eyes and let her mind
wander...

She saw herself as she first boarded the Myriad, a scared young
girl with not even a lightsaber to her name. She was frightened of
what she was being told to do, and yet even more frightened at
her naivety and inexperience. Why hadn't a Council member
volunteered to go with her? Master Prada surely would have.

Then a cold chill ran up and down her spine. "Of course," she
whispered softly. "What better person to send on a mission to
find the source of a Force Plague than someone who is barely
sensitive to it--untrained?" She stopped herself, but then sighed.
"The Council would never use anyone in this way. That's what the
Sith would do, not the Jedi." All the same, Tysy was not so sure.

"What would happen if I caught the Plague? I wouldn't be much of
a threat. Sure, I'm learning Force Powers, but the fact that I can't
wield a lightsaber or any of the famous ancient combat stances
makes me the perfect mark to send into the lion's den. No one
would think me a Jedi, unless they knew whom I worked for..."

Tysy didn't want to believe it. She couldn't believe it. All
she knew at that moment was that she wanted to take the Myriad
and pilot it straight back to Dantooine to get some answers. The only
thing stopping her, she thought, was her commitment to life and justice.
And the others. She wouldn't let them get the Plague while she went AWOL!

Why don't you? said a soft voice inside her mind. Expose
Masters Vrook and Prada and Lerv for whom they really are--frauds who
hide behind the Enclave's walls while they send others weaker than
themselves into the danger zone. You were not meant for this mission,
Tysyacha. I call you by your true name, for you are your grandmother's girl.

"Hey, Jedi." Tysy sent out a gentle message through the Force. "Prada?
Lerv? Can you hear me? If so, then tell me why you sent me, before I die."

Tysy knew, yet she resisted knowing. She had caught the Force Plague.

Attribute Gained: Wisdom +5

Quickly sending a stream of hypospray into her body, Tysy took a deep
breath and strode into the main lobby of the space station on Yavin.
At least the poison-counteracting ingredients would keep her temperature
normal. How long will I last, she wondered, before I die, or I turn?

"And so you understand child," Tysy started and turned around looking down at Solidus, "Us Jedi are not the wise and all powerful beings people are led to believe. Those who trust the Jedi are fools, only in name does the Jedi uphold the light but in truth many Jedi have a sense of arrogance that a Hutt would be hard pressed to match. The Council manipulated you as they manipulated Revan, indeed they believe they are doing this out of the good for all, yet they send the least expierienced of them. They sent you out here to test the waters as it were, it is this cowardess and seperateness from other Jedi that allow the insidious Darkside to overpower someone. Though in other cases it is the trauma that can be caused from the Jedi Council's stiffness to tradition of the loss of family, friends, love." Tysy's heart jumped at that last word and her mind wandered to the young mandalorian before she concentrated again on what the Master spoke of. "The Jedi claim wisdom and power yet they have not the mind to see past these traditions of old which only a fool would recognise. In this, perhaps your grandmother was right." A silence followed before Solidus spoke again, "You have listened child,"
"Yes Master." Replied Tysy.
"Take these words to heart, with all their faults though, the Jedi do have their moments, keep true to the light and you will see your salvation."
Tysy bowed, "Yes Master."
"Good. Now we have matters to attend to. Let us do the job we were sent to do."

Aegis stepped out onto the Yavin station and saw the conversing Apprentice and Master. Looking at them for a moment he continued his slow walk where a pair of Trandoshan Mercenaries decided to hassle him, "Ahh... Another off worlder, you here for a job? If you are we have no more space! Unless..." The Trandoshan's hand came out suggestively for credits.

Taa'la stepped out of the Myriad noticed and shifted her attention from Tysy and Solidus to Aegis who conversed with a pair of Trandoshans.
He seems darker somehow... More fearless... And ... Evil...
Listening to Aegis' one sided conversation with the Trandoshans she stepped forward to use Force Persuade on the Mercenaries however, before she could speak in her eyes she saw a darkness suddenly gather around Aegis. Both Trandoshans were lifted into the air without him lifting a finger, and both Mercenaries slowly choked. A third Trandoshan saw them and realising it was Aegis' doing he charged with a Vibrosword, a purple lightsaber activated in Aegis' remaining hand and the blade sheard the screaming Trandoshan into 4 pieces. Looking up he realised the two Trandoshans had stopped struggling, dropping them to the floor he looked impassively at the sudden loss of life and the darkness and power he felt grew just a little bit stronger.

Darkside points gained, 10
Force Power gained: Kill (Thats the uber choke)

Solidus, Tysy and Taa'la stared at the former Grey Knight. Solidus and Taa'la both slowly reached for their lightsabers...

As Aegis choked the two Trandoshans, Coryn came running out. Looking at Aegis, he thought What has happened to him? Was he really affected by that person he met in the slaver ship? He saw Soludis and Taa'la pull out their lightsabers, and he laid a hand on his vibroblade. Walking up Aegis, he stopped as he saw the darkness grow even more around him.

Coryn went back in the Myriad, looking for Kharne. Finally he found him in one of the bunks, twirling his vibroblade yet again.

"Nice..." Taal'a muttered, placing a hand on her lightsaber. She addresed Aegis. "Impressive... it shows me you are no longer on the edge. You have fallen to the darkness." She paused thoughtfully. "Whatever your attacker did you you, know that you are not without hope... you can defeat your anger. Though it seems to strengthen you, hear from one who has experienced, it will leave you weakened beyond belief."

"There is nothing to be gained in this violence," she went on. "Will you trust the words of one who has been where you are now?"

Lightside points gained

Hope...Aegis stared at Taa'la Hope... Heh... Haha... HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Taa'la looked at Aegis in confusion.

Aegis tilted his head to the side, Hope is no longer what I need Twi'lek I need power. And power I have gotten. There is no hope for me now. The darkness is my master and my master has turned me into a slave. I know this. And yet I do not care, for all I need is power, power for revenge, strength to win and this is what I shall have. It was my failure on Islena's part, I will rectify that mistake.

Laughing maniacally Aegis turned to the rest of the party, And will you draw your sabers on me now? A Twilek guardian who has yet to learn the Master's forms, a Consular whose power is being dimininished, a Mandalorian whose Force Abilities equal that of a 6 Year Old Apprentice and a Girl with the Force Plague. Do you wish to test your abilities against me now?

Drawing their weapons the others advanced on Aegis, Aegis took to the Form of Juyo...

"Enough!" Roared Kharne, "We will not survive this mission if all we do is turn against each other! Put away your weapons!"
Striding towards Aegis he snarled "And so my old friend has finally fallen, something I have expected for a long time... Even in your darkness you will not harm the crew of the Myriad. Remain if you wish, but you will be in isolation."

Aegis looked at Kharne Indeed, you have grown wise Kharne. But who are you to command me?
"The man you owe your life to, fool!"
There was a silence before Aegis answered Indeed... I will stay to myself for your sake. Not theirs. But once this debt is over...
"Once this debt is over, but that is not now!"
Snarling Aegis spun around his robes flowing, deactivated his saber and strode into Yavin Station.

Taa'la, Solidus and Coryn looked at Tysy " Force Plague?" They said simultaneously.

Taa'la winced as she turned her gaze to Tysy. Even as she echoed the words of the others, she could feel the Plague beginning its work on the girl.

"This, then is the fate of our companionship," she whispered. "The Plague will overcome the Force users... but there must be a way to counter it. All elements have an opposite. We merely need to find the Plague's opposite... before the Plague destroys us."

Verack sensed a new spike in his control. His interest piqued, he followed a thread of the Plauge, hardly a trickle, to the one it inhabited. Isn't this...he thought, Yes, it is her. Sidious will surely be interested in this.
The Plauge Master went over to console, activating its comm. channels and establishing a link to his partner's flagship.
As the holoscanner whirred to life, he said, "This is Lord Verack transmitting to Darth Sidious..."
As he awaited a response, his thoughts wandered back to the young one that had caught his blight. She was young and hardly trained in the Force. In fact, he doubted that she was trained at all. However, he also sensed three others with her. Two were penticles of light, a Knight and a Master, he assumed, and the last...the last one had fallen. The Plauge would soon be contracted by the girl's Jedi companions, and the dark Jedi with them would only be further tainted from the Plauge's effects. Things were beginning to take shape...

Tysy nodded resolutely toward the group. "Even now, I sense I've put
all of your lives at risk, being Force Sensitive. I'm going back to the
ship, which is right up that ramp, and I will put myself under critical
quarantine. D-452, I've discovered, has a special kolto tank stored
in the medical bay which prevents the spread of disease. Whether
it can hold the Force Plague, I do not know, but the kolto is highly
charged with midichlorian antigens. If the kolto doesn't cure me,
it will at least keep the spread of this terrible Plague at bay."

She bowed to the others and did exactly what she said she'd do.

In watery exile, she drifted off into a deep, restful sleep.

Light Side Points Gained: 10, Alignment: 70

Kharne looked up where Tysy had gone, shrugging he turned to the rest of the group, "You Jedi picked this place so I am assuming that there is some evidence of the Force pLague here. I suggest you hurry before Aegis finds it and destroys it."


Aegis strode past the scum that filed in and out of the corridor.
A beggar gripped his arm "Master perhaps you could spare -"
Without answering Aegis gripped the beggar's arm lifted him to his feet and swung him, bashing and breaking the bones of the beggar against the wall. Looking at the mercenaries and bounty hunters staring at them, he defiantly pulled his robe back to reveal the lightsaber. Hardened men shied away from this malovelent figure.
Cowards... Thought Aegis. He continued down the hall, hunting down the Extreme Dark Side signature.

(sry i haven't been posting. I have been working on other stuff and didn't have time to get on. and i have no idea where we are.)

(((Yavin IV)))

Scur watched Tysy ready herself for the bacta tank and walked away. He decided to go to the cockpit and sleep, so he walked into the cockpit, sat down in the chair, put his feet on the dashboard thing, and fell asleep.
_______________________________________________

Rayce walked off the dropship and wondered if Scur was alive. He then remebered a soldier saying one of the other soldiers was last seen being dragged onto a small star ship. Rayce thought while walking though the hangar to his bunkroom. He remembered Scur saying, "The Myriad flew into the Sith Frigate, we must follow it." He hurried over to the Leader and asked, "Sir, does Scur Jal' Daan have a comlink number for me to contact him with?"
"Umm," the Leader started thinking, " Let me check." The Leader walks over to a binder and scans the names of all soldiers, "Ah, here it is." Rayce then comlinks Scur while walking out of the military base. "Scur you there? Hello?" Rayce yelled yelling into the comlink.
_________________________________

Scur wakes up from the yelling from the comlink. He recognizes the voice and quickly replies, "Yes, this is Scur. Is this Rayce?"
"Scur! Hey, where are you?" Rayce questions.
"In the Myriad."
"Why?"
"I'm helping piloting it. Do you need something?"
"No, I thought you died in the battle on the Sith Frigate."
Scur pauses for a second. "Why do you say that?"
"Well you weren't on the return list from the battle, after we got back."
Just then some one walks in the cockpit and stares at Scur. Scur has the feeling he being watched and turns around.

Ulkus the Twilek Jedi, Ulkus the Bearer of Darkness, Ulkus the Betrayer.

Ulkus smiled as he kneeled in the centre of the Meditation Chamber. Turning on his comlink he contacted Verack. "Master, they have found me. Perhaps I shall send their heads to you as a gift?"
"Haha..."Ulkus could just see his Master's lips curling in contempt, "Yes, if you can manage it my Death Bearer."
"Do you believe I do not have the power Master, to wipe this pathetic party from the face of the galaxy?" Snarled Ulkus in a moment of rage.
"We shall see.."
"I am one of the four bearers of your creation! The Plague! I Am one of the most powerful Force Wielders in the galaxy, with this Plague I have destroyed countless Jedi! No weaklings such as these shall defeat me!"
Verack chuckled, "As I said, we shall see. Words do not act, actions do."
Ulkus roared and switched off the comlink. Returning to his kneeling position in the middle of the Meditation Chamber he faced the great doors, placed his gnarled lightsaber in front of him horizontally and waited.


Islena strode past the poor citizens of Tattooine. She was focused on only one goal, the Jedi which had eluded the fool of a Death Bearer, Valkresh. As she walked down another alleyway she heard voices, leaping up and hiding behind a dumpster she watched a figure in a brown robe and a boy not much older then ten in a similar robe walked down the alley.

Smiling maliciously Islena leapt out of hiding as they passed beneath the dumpster, he crimson saber erupting out of the metal tube. Swinging towards the Jedi's head, his green saber appeared in his hands, blocking the blow. Parrying a second blow from the other end of Islena's saber he looked over at his frozen Padawan, "Run!". The boy took a step back as he watched his master be forced back step by step from a ruthless onslaught of manouvres from the Dark Jedi.
Looking back at his still frozen apprentice, the Jedi snarled, "Run you fool! RUN!"
The boy heeded his words and started back down the alley, but speaking with the boy the Jedi made a mistake, moving in and taking advantage of that mistake, Islena skewered the Jedi in the side. As the body toppled Islena looked at the fleeing figure, her hand went to her belt, pulling out a blaster, the dying Jedi watched as his Padawan ran only to be shot in the back, his eyes widened and he seemed to be about to speak, as he looked up at the Sith, all he saw was the red blade streaming to his neck.

Islena smiled as she threaded her way back to her ship. This Jedi has been causing trouble by smuggling Sith equipment into the Republic. His loss will be effective. Master will be pleased.

Verack smiled to himself. Ulkus had always been one of his proudest Death Bearers, but he was strong in both body and will, which is one of the reasons he granted him the power of the Plauge. As they learned, he charged them with the creation and spreading of his power, and sent them off to different areas of space, where his four minions spread the blight across the stars. Very soon, their powers would be tested to their limits as he brought the sickness out to its full power, crossing from one side of the galaxy to the other, and infecting all and every Jedi. The end of the Order was near. Prepare Order 66.

(((Sorry that i havent been posting, i lost intrest for a little while, i was playing socom3 and cant stop playing so i finally got to get around to catching up)))(Sion, or someone else, plz if you can, pm me a brief summary on what has happened on the 6th page, i had a hard time keeping up with that one)

On a Transport heading to Coruscant

Overwatching his battalion of mutated humans jedi and wookies, Cronus decided to rally them.
"My fellow Sith!"

*Under his breath*
"Mutated Scum"

"We are here for one reason, and one reason only, to conquer this galaxy and everything in it. We will walk on the faces of the jedi! Cripple the forces of the Republic and Destroy everything else that stands in my way. You will be feasting upon the souls of Jedi today! You will show no mercy, not a single bit of mercy. If they beg, crush them even harder, if they dont! Just crush them!

*The ship landed on Coruscant*

"COME ON YOU APES, DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER!"

The expierments started to rally as the walkway lowered down to let them run wild.
"This is going better than I had predicted, maybe we can bury the city also"

Igniting his lightsaber, Cronus said
"Im going to have some fun"
He ran out of the ship with the other some 200 expieriments

Jedi stood out in front of the academy, blue, green, yellow lightsabers popping up from the different weaklings. Sprinting about 50 feet in front of his army. Clashing into the jedi he had already slashed 4 heads off and blood had been splattered on his face. Cronus spits on a corpse as he attacks yet more jedi. Finally his battalion started having battle with the rest of the jedi. Whilst using one hand to use his saber and crush his opponents and with his other he creates a shield around him. Jedi run and bounce off it then fall to the ground stunned from this new unknown attack he had achieved. Cronus kneeled down than unignited his lightsaber curled into a ball then sprawled out. A massive energy force had emerged and wiped out a 1/2 of the jedi.
Not showing tiredness and weakness, Cronus walks off and signals to his army to finish the rest of the jedi off. He walked off the battlfield and back into his ship.Walking up to the pilot of the ship.

"Round up the rest of the mutated expieriments when they have finished, take the bands off the dead ones and store them.....then blow the academy up"

Verack spoke to Islena mentally You felt that did you not? The fool, Cronus has alerted the Republic of our presence. We must act quickly, for the Republic shall rally and we will have a much harder time about it.
Yes, Master.

Islena's eyes unfocused as she sat in the cockpit of her ship, her mind wandering to the disturbances in the Force, she saw the mutilated corpses of dead Jedi littering the Coruscant Academy.
The foolish, immature child! For a simple display of power he has ruined our advantage of surprise. Should I ever meet him I will end his pathetic life but not before correcting him of his stupidity!

Travelling to the barren planet of Katarr she met up with the third Death Bearer, Generis.
"I assume you have received your orders."
"Correct. The dark aura here has indeed enhanced my abilities -"
"But not your saber skills I see." Sneered Islena.
"I do not need skill with such a crude weapon as the lightsaber when I have all this power at my disposal. Leave me wench, go find the fourth Death Bearer and we shall set the plan in motion."


((Oh yeah, who wants first dibs on Death Bearer Ulkus?))

((OOC: Er...KillWithHonor, I find it kinda hard to believe that a bunch of mutants and a single Dark Jedi could wipe out most of the Jedi so easily...))

The orders were given. His servants were gathering. The Plauge would spread.
But that idiot of a man blew their cover by attacking the very heart of the Republic! Things would most likely be rather difficult now. Sinister, you fool, you should never have let him go.

The viewing screen flashed to life on Yavin Station. Coryn looked up from his drink as the news came through. Coruscant attacked by the Sith. Several transports of dark Jedi and mutants, not unlike the ones that attacked Taris, raided the Jedi Temple leaving bodies in their wake. Only a little bit after their attack, the enemies retreated back into space..

Pounding his fist on the table, Coryn backed away from the table. I can't believe it... Why would the Sith attack the Jedi Temple and just raid it? I would think that they would be a little bit more cautious than that. Whatever they were thinking, we're running out of time.

He headed back to the Myriad, running until he caught sight of Aegis, stalking through the corridors. He watched him for a moment, then headed off to the ship.

Aegis stopped before two enormous doors, but he felt darknes and pain gathering beyond them. Centering himself, he built a shield of Force around him, activated his purple blade and pressed his hand against the door and slammed it open.

Ulkus smiled as he watched the great doors fly off their hinges slamming against walls, and furniture. Gathering the power of the plague around him he picked up his lightsaber, igniting it revealing another purple blade and he stood up.

The first Death Bearer will feel the taste of death today.
"Is that so Kel Dor? Well you are mistaken, alone you will never defeat me."
You overestimate your abilities fool.
"Enough speech! Even in your darkness you will not defeat me! You will die by the hand in Ulkus!"

Aegis readied himself in the Ataru stance whilst Ulkus struck the pose of Makashi...

...and in Tysy's tormented mind, a vision swirled...

Four people in particular were the cause of her sickness. Four
Dark Jedi (or were they fully Sith now, cloaked in the mantle
of prestige?) in particular were strong enough to bear the
Plague and spread it to the farthest corners of the galaxy.

One was a male Twi'lek, but not Aegis. One who was farther
along in the treacherous path toward Dark Mastery, more cruel
and more driven by hatred. What was his name--Ulkus? Yes...

The second had been a fine Jedi before she had undergone
torture and inhumane interrogations under the Sith. Islena
was her name, and she was beautiful, even in her darkness.
Her hair flows like the waves of the ocean on Manaan, and
her eyes are green and piercing. Like Prada's lightsaber...

The third plague bearer: this one was harder to notice, harder
to track down. Tysy could not decide who the other two
carriers were, nor could she even guess by the power she
had through the Force. How had she caught the disease?
Most definitely during her capture, but who had been the
one to handle her unconscious frame and thus infect her?

Tysy's body jerked. She sensed trouble all over the ship,
and trouble within all its passengers. She focused her mind...

"By the power I've gained from my grandmother, the notorious
Tysyacha, the Jedi Exile, and my father Kilian, I now purify the
essence of Dvukhsotnaya. All of you who are allied with me in
accord and will shall be strengthened by two hundred percent!
No one will catch the Plague, for this is a power born of passion,
not mere midichlorians! The Exile, who is now one with the Force,
taught me that. This is the only way I can help you, comrades..."

The kolto relaxed her again, and Tysy fell into uneasy unconsciousness.
