Suddenly, another ship fired upon the tractor beam, effectively knocking it out. "Alkonium, good to see you again!" Hethra transmitted to them, piloting a Republic ARC-1200. "Thanks for the assistance, Hethra!" Alkonium replied.
Now with a lightsaber, Komad entered a traditional Soresu defensive stance.

Mycaen smirked. "No matter.. he won't live for long.." He said, separating his arms into four once more, withdrawing two more lightsabers. He twirled all four with an intimidating violent hum. Before Komad had a chance to react, he already charged toward him. He struck toward Komad repeatedly with each of the lightsabers, occasionally slicing shirt but most of the strikes were blocked by Komad. He leapt up and came down at him vertically with all four Lightsabers in one swift motion.

Tyrannus had felt the tractor beam disable and just smiled. He sent a message intended for Alkonium You think you will be able to save your son? Too late. With a quick command the ship jumped into hyperspace.

Alkea saw the ship make the jump and shouted, "Komad!" She knew that he was alive but it was impossible to see if he would survive alone with two Sith Lords. She sent a transmission to Hathera and started plotting possible destinations.

Running out of ideas, Komad sliced a hole in the floor, looked down, and back up again. "Anyone try to attack me, and I'll drop this lightsaber into the fuel tank, killing every single one of us." He said, knowing they'd believe him to be bluffing.
"Don't worry, I was able to attach a homing beacon when I destroyed their tractor beam, I'm sending the coordinates now. I'm also calling in one of our Star Destroyers." Hethra replied.

"Copy that. We'll persue."

Tyrannus' thoughts began to fill Komad's head, I wouldn't do that if I were you little one. Peelal is not a patient person but I guess I have no choice. With a push of a button, the paristeel floor sent off and electrical charge, powerful enough to knock a Jedi out, right where the hole was. He then said to Peelal, "Grab the lightsaber. He should be out for quite some time until we lead the sister and father to where we must go."

Mycaen snorted, not liking other people to take his challenge away like that. He snatched the lightsaber and turned off all of his. He sheated every one of them and stood over the unconscious body of the Jedi.

"Sir, three Republic ships are following us through hyperspace: an ARC-1200, a CEC YT-3000, and an Anakin-class Star Destroyer. Suggested course of action?" A Sith soldier asked Peelal.

"Track them down, get the ID number of the ship," he said, looking out the view screen. "Demand boarding, if they refuse, terminate them," he commanded, not looking up from the viewscreen. The man nodded and said "Done sir," he said, taking his leave. You're not getting out of this alive.. he thought, sending them out to the escaping Jedi.

"Sir, you are aware that the Republic Star Destroyer is an even match for us, right?" The officer said, unaware of the Sith Lord's wrath.
Komad woke up in a cell on the brig, and realised that this might actually work better for him than in the Sith Quarters. He then yanked open the controls for the force field generator holding him in the cell, and use the Force to short-circuit it. He then looked around at the other prisoners. Many of them were just innocent civilians. He knew that escaping the ship was his priority, but he could not stand idly by and let these people die, so he released them as well. A Rodian came up to him. "Thank you for your help, young Jedi." the Rodian said to him. "Do you know the way to one of the hangars?" Komad asked. "Yes." the Rodian answered. "Good. Go there, steal a shuttle, and dock at the Republic ship following us." Komad replied.

Mycaen felt an uneasy disturbance in the Force. "DO IT!" He said, walking towards the 'guest' quarters, alarms blaring as all the doors locked magnetically (as in, no keypads or locks). "Try to find the source of the break out, and quarantine it."

Tyrannus came down the corridor to where Komad was standing. He stood in front of him and didn't care for the escaping Rodian. He said, "You know, I tried to make things easy but I have no choice then." He spoke into a comm with a strange language not familiar to Komad. He then looked at him, "You have just sealed your father and sister's fate. If you come quietly now I will have their lives spared. If not, then the dire consequences. I wouldn't try reahing for my lightsaber if I were you. I am very particular and have an interesting reaction."

"You're forgetting, that Republic Star Destroyer is of equal strength. Attempt to destroy it, and this ship would also be destroyed. Plus, my father was the one who redeemed Darth Frigidus, when he could have easily killed him. And my sister is the apprentice of the man who killed Darth Khilbron. Both of those Sith were more powerful than you'll ever be." Komad replied, jumping into a ventilation shaft. He then began making his way to the engine room.

Mycaen smirked and pressed a button on the wall, opening the ventilation shafts to space. The oxygen was immediately sucked out of the ventilation shaft as a strong gravitational force began to suck Komad violently towards the shaft at the end, open into space.

Komad then immediately got out of the shafts, right in the engine room. He then pressed a few buttons on the controls, and a voice came of the intercom. "Warning: Engines overloading, will reach critical point in five minutes, evacuate immediately." He then ran as quickly as he could toward the hangar.

Mycaen growled and sealed off the shafts again. He walked to the hangar and opened one door, walked in, and sealed the door behind him. He went around to each ship, using an ignited lightsaber and tear a long line in the engines of each ship, sabotaging his escape. As Komad appeared, every ship was immobilized. "You're finished, Komad," he said, pulling out three more lightsabers and separating his arms, wielding all four lightsabers simultaneously.

"Nice. Not only did you cut of my only escape, but you also did the same for yourself. Because of that, I'm more likely to survive, as any minute now a Republic ship will land in here to pick me up. It's your choice, though either way, this ship is going to blow." Komad replied, activating his lightsaber.
"Master Kaltas, I don't believe we've met, but your son rescued me from the prison on that Star Destroyer. He's rigged the engines to explode and is waiting in the hangar for rescue." The Rodian messaged to Alkonium. "Thank you." Alkonium replied, veering the Ebon Hawk II into the Sith Hangar to rescue Komad.

Tyrannus jumped behind Komad and grabbed him by the neck and seized his lightsaber. With a deft movement, he injected a sedative, a lethal dose to those untrained in the Force but enough to knock Komad unconcious. He was so quick that he managed to place cuffs on his wrists. He whispered, "We're not finished yet, unless you want your sister to suffer," and he dragged him to a special shuttle that was ready to go. He was angry at Peelal and showed it by using the Force to pull him with him and ordered that he man the pilot's seat.

Alkea saw the shuttle doors close and began to use teh Force to run to catch up before it took off. She ignited her lightsaber in an attempt to try to catch the door but was immediately greeted by a hail of blaster fire. She ducked behind some crates and tried to deflect the blasters to get closer. She was close when the shuttle lifted off.

Alkonium stepped out of the Ebon Hawk II, activating his lightsaber. "Tyrannus, release my son." he said with a deadly look in his eyes. Hethra's ARC-1200 also landed in the hangar, getting out and activating his violet blade. "You do not stand a chance against three Jedi, Lord Tyrannus." He said.

"But I do," Mycaen said, fighting against Tyrannus' force pull. He ignited all four lightsabers again and activated a small jetpack, lifting his four-fingered feet and separating them as well, holding a total siz lightsabers. He grinned under his mask. Take the Jedi Lord, i'll deal with these three.. He twirled all the lightsabers at once in a flash of color and spark.

Unbelievable.

(umm, JM12, Alkea was the third Jedi Hethra was referring to, just so you know)
"I'd worry about your own safety, we have three minutes to get off this ship." Hethra said, and used his Vong Eye to predict Mycaen's attacks, able to block all six lightsabers. Alkonium then force pulled Komad's unconcious body towards him, carrying him onto the Ebon Hawk II. Hethra then Force Pushed Peelal out of the way, taking the opportunity to get back in his ARC-1200.

(What the...blergh..one jedi can't block that many with just an eye...)

Mycaen growled and put his sabers away, keeping his limbs separated, except for his legs, which when put back together, shut off the jetpack, and then leapt onto the space craft as it took off into space, a small mask appearing over his face, filtered to tubes. He latched onto the hull with his claws. Not hard enough to dig through or leave indents. He force camoflauged himself, as to not let his presence be sensed or seen.

((They were already in the shuttle just to clarify things but I'll play along.))
Tyrannus let out a huge Force wave that sent all the Jedi back off their feet. He summoned Peelal with a command, Let them go. I already have done what I have set out to do. We must prepare for the big event, and he got back in the shuttle and fired up the engines to get out. He was thinking to himself, "Komad will become one of us as well as his sister. That will break Alkonium."

Mycaen nodded to himself and let go, but not before unsheathing a saber and igniting it, floating away he sliced a long gash into the exhaust ports and the end of the left engine before floating back to the hangar. He latched onto Darth Tyrannus' ship and crawled inside, taking off his mask and sheathing his saber. "As you wish."

As the shuttle took off, Tyrannus sat back manning the piloting the shuttle and let his ship explode. He turned to Peelal and said, "We will go to a place of dark power and I will explain everything."

Alkea grabbed her brother and threw him over her shoulders and waited for the rest to get up and find away off the ship before it exploded. Holding Komad, she had uneasy feeling s pouring down her back but she didn't say a word.

Mycaen nodded, adjusting his cloak and robe, sitting down in the co-pilot's chair, watching Komad.

(Before I forget, here are character sheets for Alkonium and Hethra:

"I'm not sure what to make of. I'm glad we were able to rescue him, but I feel a dark presence around Komad." Alkonium said to Hethra on the bridge of the Valiant. "I sense it too, but I don't believe your son has turned to the Dark Side. Keep in mind, he freed those Rodians from the Sith Brig, which had cost him a chance to escape. I for one believe that he has earned the title of Jedi Knight." Hethra replied.

Alkea voiced her opinion saying, "I feel it too father. I sense that some bigger plot is going on."

Tyrannus docked the shuttle on a ship that Peelal had never seen before. With a pleasant enough grin Tyrannus said, "Welcome to the Defiant. It is a ship built by the best of my former people."
He led the way to the main bridge where he gave the order to his commander, "Set a course for Amshrey in the Forbidden Stars."
"Yes Lord Tyrannus."
"Once we arrive, the plot will become clear," he told Peelal, "and from their, we will break Alkonium."

Mycaen snorted slightly, sniffing a little. "Not my kind of ship.. but it will do." He headed forward, down a hall. "We will speak about this later. For the meantime, send Komad to the Torture chamber, I will be along shortly."

(Komad was just rescued, just so you know)
Alone in his quarters, Komad was thinking about what the Sith did to him, and the effect it had, when he heard a knock on the door. He expected it to either be his sister or his father, but it was a young Rodian girl, who looked about his age. "Do I know you?" He asked her. "You rescued me from the Sith Prison, remember?" She answered. "You're name's Komad, right?" She then asked Komad. "Yes, and you are?" Komad responded. "Greea Bodonawieedo" She answered. "Well, I have to go, Master Iazoki is calling me to the bridge." Komad replied, looking at a communicator on his wrist. "I'd really like to see you again, Komad." Greea replied. "I'd like to see you again too, Greea." Komad replied, heading off to the bridge.
(to be honest, I'd like someone else to take the part of Greea, as being a guy, I'm just better roleplaying as guys, and I'm thinking of having Greea as a love interest for Komad)

(Then who do we have? Tyrannus took one of the three...and ew.. Greea, a Rodian and Komad a human? Those would be some UGLY babies..)

(Then who do we have? Tyrannus took one of the three...and ew.. Greea, a Rodian and Komad a human? Those would be some UGLY babies..)
(Well, there were four of them, and they all escaped. Actually, Komad's half-human, half-Twi'lek, meaning their kids would be half-Rodian, a quarter-human, and a quarter-Twi'lek)

((Sorry, looking over JM's posts and I see Let them go. etc.. I understand now))

Alkea was with her master Hathera going over calming techniques for the experience aboard Tyrannus' ship unnerved her. She wondered why Tyrannus went to all that trouble just to get Komad only to let him go. It mad her uneasy and she felt that a shadow was two steps behind her waiting for its moment to strike.

He walked into the guest quarters, sitting down on the floor. He meditated, the lights going dim. Mind telling me the details?

"You wanted to see me, Master?" Komad asked Hethra as he entered the Bridge. "Yes, Komad. After discussing it with your father, as well as the Council back on Coruscant, I've decided to promote you to the level of Jedi Knight." Hethra replied. "Thank you, Master Iazoki, but I honestly don't feel ready for such an honour." Komad responded. "You're modest, but you freed those Rodian on the Tormentor, sacrificing your own chance to escape, but you were able to escape on your own anyway, causing the ship to be destroyed along the way. Not an easy task. You will be Knighted as soon as we get back to Coruscant."

Tyrannus sent his reply, The sedatives that I injected into the Jedi contains a small virus virtually undetectable unless you know where to look. The viral agent contains the essence of the dark side, that which I can connect. At will, I can channel thoughts of doubt, anger into Komad. I can't control him but I can give the nudge in the right direction. He will see our way unless he goes insane and kills himself. Still there is no involvement of capturing him. He will corrupt his sister and they will join us. Their father will follow and you shall have your revenge. Now leave me be. I must rest in order to begin.

(when exactly did Tyrannus inject a sedative into Komad? The only times when was rendered unconcious was with a
The voice of Darth Virul entered Tyrannus. You're taking an awful risk, Lord Tyrannus. There's a chance that the virus may do nothing, or backfire, and if it does work, there's no knowing how long the effects will last."

"What did Hethra want?" Greea asked Komad, while having lunch with him on the Valiant's mess hall. "Actually, he told me that the Jedi Council is going to promote me to Jedi Knight." Komad replied. "That's good." Greea responded. "I don't mean to pry or anything, but how exactly did you end up in the Tormentor's Prison?" Komad asked Greea. "Well, to be honest, my family was caught smuggling essential Sith information into Republic hands, as well has smuggling people off Sith-occupied worlds, in a sense, helping the Republic from behind enemy lines." Greea told him, just as the door opened, and Komad saw Alkea enter the mess hall.

Mycaen nodded and continued to sit there and meditate, channeling his powers through his body, using his Battle Meditation to guide his own ship, as his presence was on this ship, and not his own. There would be a large margin of error when he wouldn't be there.

((I put in one of my posts that he snuck up behind Komad while facing Peelal. He had done it so quickly that Komad had littl time to react or something. It's there))

Virul, it will work for spent years searching for this energy. It comes from the place called the Forbidden Stars where the most ancient evils are said to have originated. at least from what my former people say Tyrannus sent. He was annoyed that he was doubted but then again since when to Sith Lords trust anyone. He went back to a deep meditative sleep in order to channel what he must to begin to sway Komad.

Alkea entered the mess hall and saw Komad talking to a Rodian. A little surprised she shook it off rather quick as she walked up to Komad. She spoke, "Master Hathera told me that you are to be advanced to Jedi Knight brother." At the same time, she was sending her need to talk to him alone through their brother-sister bond.

Mycaen stood up, heading to the command deck. He stood there, looking out of the viewscreen. He saw two Sith fighters coming in. Their colors were so pitch black and shiny that his eyes just slid off of them as they landed in the hangar. "My.. Jedi.." He said with a beam of confidence.

(well, technically it's not a sedative if it doesn't render him unconcsious, so you might want to reword that as well)
Let, me guess, you want to know who the Rodian girl is, right?Komad said through their bond, clearly with some anger in his tone.
(I still need someone else to take the part of Greea. If it helps, here's her character sheet:
Greea
Species: Rodian
Gender: female
Homeworld: Corellia
Faction: Third Galactic Republic, Smuggler
Class: Smuggler
Weapon: blaster pistol
DOB: 70 ABY)

((It was a sedative laced with the virus. Sorry for the bad wording. I was concentrating on Tyrannus being a rather mysterious type of Sith Lord. The hidden agenda thing))
"No it's not that brother," Alkea said when they were outside of earshot. She looked at him intently telling Komad that she was serious and asked, "What happened aboard that Sith Lord's ship?"

Tyrannus broke into a grin. The Defiant had made it to Amshrey and he had complete use of the dark energy there. With all the strength he had and then some, he sent powerful feelings of distrust and suspicion to Komad. It was intense enough to affect the virulents that had been injected and trigger what they were designed to do.

Mycaen quickly made his way to the loading ramp and walking out into the surface of the dry, barren planet. There were several huts and a Sith Academy there, well guarded with several Sith soldiers and two Dark Jedi. His own two Sith Lords followed in toe, the Twi'lek female and the Miraluka male. "We have reached Amshrey.. at last." He stretched a little bit; the dark energy flowing through him, relaxing his nerves and comforting him like a pillow.

Yes, this was home.

"It was terrible. They struck me with Force Lightning until I joined them, but I didn't, so they sedated me and put me in the brig. I then escaped, freed Greea and her family, then I faced Darth Tyrannus again, but I ran, hiding in the vents, which nearly killed me, as Peelal opened them to space, but I finally made it to the engine room, where I rigged the engines to overload, destroying the ship, and then you rescued me in the hangar." Komad replied. "About Greea, she may be a smuggler, but she's a smuggler on our side, and I trust her. And don't tell me to date someone my own species, Dad didn't, and look how we turned out."
You forget your place, Lord Tyrannus. You may have been named for the great Darth Tyranus, but Lord Khilbron appointed me as his successor, before his ill-fated attempt to turn Alkonium to the Dark Side, which cost him his own life, and turned Darth Frigidus to the light.Darth Virul said telepathically to Darth Tyrannus.

She is suspicious of you. She thinks you are after power. She doesn't believe you were the thoughts sent by Tyrannus when he heard Virul. He was angry at Virul but replied, At least he didn't spend years perfecting the darker mysteries of the universe and cut off Virul completely.

Alkea was not sure about Komad's response. She asked again a little forcefully to let him know she was serious, "Did they do anything to you?"

Get out of my head!Komad sent a message back to Tyrannus and started to calm down. "Aside from the lightning. I don't know. They could have done anything while was unconscious." He said to Alkea.

Mycaen turned to his students. "Go, make yourselves at home within the academy. I will be out here," he said, heading to a rock. He sat ontop and began to meditate, his limps separating into four legs and four arms, a total of eight limbs, looking strangely like a black widow.

((Technically I was trying to be subtle, the effect was supposed to be like a storm brewing, just base feelings of suspicion, etc.))

Tyrannus then forced a huge surge of doubt, suspicon and anger, playing on Komad's own emotions and blending it with the effects of the virus.

Alkea raised an eyebrow, not saying what she was thinking which was why go all the trouble to get Komad but then release him. She stared for awhile into her brother's eyes as if trying to see what happened. She knew that agitated Komad because she was so inquisitive but she had to know.

It seems I underestimated you, Lord Tyrannus. Komad will be one of us in no time. But know this: I will not have such half-breed scum attempting to usurp my position as Dark Lord of the Sith. He shall be your apprentice, but see to it that does not change. Darth Virul said to Darth Tyrannus via holocom.
"What is wrong with me? Ever since I escaped the Tormentor, I've been having trouble controlling my anger, except around Greea. Is it just my feelings for her, or does she have something to do with this?" Komad said to himself, alone in his quarters.

You racist scum! Tyrannus sent to Virul. He was fed up with him.

Alkea was disturbed. She had no problem with Komad and Greea but she had a problem in the subtle changes in her brother's demeanor, almost as if he were constantly angry. She didn't say anything to Komad or her master but rather scanned recovered holovids but it seemed as if the more crucial points had been destroyed. She decided to go to her brother in his quarters and try the memory exercise she had learned from Hathera. She tapped gently on the door and asked, "Komad, could I speak to you? It's about what happened on the Tormentor."

Tyrannus sent surges of anger, implying to Komad that she didn't trust him. He pushed so hard that it vibrated the virus within to extreme levels.
