Natiss was worried, he was ordered to find out everything he could about the Dark Dwellers, but he couldn't let them destroy Utapau. He started thinking of ways to stop the attack. He could try to get blise or Ja Mahia to stop their order, but that was nearly impossible. He might try blowing up the ships with a massive explosion or virus, but he wouldn't have time to program a virus. He decided to try and cripple the fleet with the various explosives stored on the 300 explosive ships. As he made his way towards the main explosives cargo bay he stopped at a nearby terminal. After seeing a complete layout of the fleet he noted the locations af the bulk of the explosives. He then stole a thermal detonator and was about to blow the ship. The chain reation should cripple or destroy at least 70% of the dark dweler fleet.

"HEY!" A Dark DWeller said, noticing Natiss. "You're not a Dark Dweller you traitor! Master!" When Natiss did stole the explosives, he didn't know that he was stealing them off of Blise's ship. Blise came to the room the two were in. "I knew you were a traitor all along. Do you have anything to say" Blise asked, took the detonator from his hands and threw Natiss into a prison cell. "Do you have anything to say for why you stole the explosives?" Blise repeated, this time igniting the lightsaber he stole from Natiss.

"I stole the explosives to blow you and your Dark Dwellers to kingdome come. You'll never win!"Natiss yelled. As he yelled at Blise, Natiss grabbed his saber, he had hid it the entire time he was masquerading as a Dark Dweller. "As I said, you'll never win!"Saying this Natiss ignited his green saber. Slicing through his cell Natiss charged at Blise.

He started to walk towards the exit. The other Jedi Knights following him. For they awoke when the echo in the force revealed it's presence.

Blise's ship flew into hyperspace, away from the rest of the fleet, just in case and Blise thrust his lightsaber at NAtiss'. "I knew it all along!" He shouted, twirled his lightsaber, and struck again. "YOU ARE A TRAITOR!" He yelled and asent many more strikes. Blise picked up the detonator and force pushed Natiss back into the cell. He ran to the escape pods. "Better luck next time, traitor!" He shouted. Two other Dark Dwellers acme running to him. "There is only room for one person on the pod!" One said. "I know.." Blise said, got in the escape pod, threw the detonator, and escaped as the ship blew up. It managed to stay in one peice but it broke and was heading straight to the atmosphere of Utapau. Blise left the group of Dark Dwellers and the traitor to eventually impact on the planet and die. Blise didn't care about his comrades though. They never really helped him before.


Meanwhile Ja' Mahia already knew what was happening. He sighed. He expected NAtiss to be a good Dak Dweller but it had to end like that. He got up from his chari and noticed he was nearing Utapau. He saw the broken ship hurdling towards the planet and he saw Blise's escape pod also heading towards the planet. Then he sat down and waited again for the ship to land, and watched to see the explosion that Blise's ship would make. After all it was loaded with explosives and it was heading towards the ground at high velocity. This will be a good show. Ja' Mahia thought.

Miklos trotted to catch up with Reyshik. He felt better and had an extra spring in his step. He asked, "How do we start formation?"

"As soon as possible," he said, walking to the docking bay. He turned to look at Miklos. "Please don't over-exert yourself this time, pace it."

Miklos then again said, "Not overexertion. Was injured remember?"
He then whistled for his astromech and told him to get det in his fighter. He headed to his fighter and made sure all systems were go.

He shrugged and walked to his Jedi starfighter, the rest of the Jedi followed suit.

"Take off in three minutes," he said, closing the lid down on his starfighter as his R7 droid mounted itself on the back. The system powered up with a whirr as he flipped on the comm. system and the engines.

BANG!! BOOOOM!!! The broken ship impacted Utapau and exploded massively, probably leaving a crater there. The traitor is dead now.. Ja' Mahia thought, although his suspicions might have not been true, for way down in Utapau, Natiss was already on his way to tell the Jedi Council of the plans. But the Dark Dwellers didn't know that he somehow made it out of the ship alive. By now, Blise's escape pod should be on the planet also, and the first of the fleet was entering the atmosphere now. Ja' Mahia looked down at Utapau, and still sensed that neither Reyshik, Mave, or this new Miklos were there yet. Soon, the ship that Ja' Mahia was on landed in Utapau and he quickly got out. The jedo enclave was in sight. He looked overhead as the thousands of warships charged in in front of him. Along with Ja' MAhia, many other foot soldiers charged in as well. Ja' Mahia stopped for a second to check something. He used force storm and a strong storm of lightning ripped across the sky. Good, our powers work well on this planet. He thought and continued charging.

Miklos optimaized power and sent a radio transmission to Trystan to have any available force head to Utapu. He then directed his fighter to space and took off. Along the way, he tried to make sense of the images he had seen and feared that they might be too late. He tried to contact Mave through the Force, Padawan, where are you? Head to Utapu for the Dark Dwellers have attacked again.

A few minutes pass as his own fleet pull out of hyperspace into the Utapau atmosphere. He drove his fleet down planet side and docked on a field of open space, as that many ships could not land just anywhere *Arvik*. He leapt out of his fighter and force sprinted to the fight, his Jedi along with him. Miklos and Trystan descending as well.

His small platoon of about 20 knights were moving at a blurring speed of clashing white and light brown. Seconds later, they drove into the Dark Dweller's ranks, a large hole being torn in the formation. Reyshik withdrew his lightsaber and began to deflect blaster shots and cut down soldiers not on their guard. His Jedi did the same, making an effective barrier to block any new Dark Dwellers from landing or dropping troops.

You two go and quell the army within the city, i'll stay here and prevent any new troops from coming.

((Yeesh! I detect some annoyance and rapid-fire RPing... I can't keep up. Just say Tanith has thought through a few things and decided not to rejoin the Dark Dwellers. She's off in a far away corner of the galaxy, thinking over what she should do with her second shot at life :) ))

Miklos nodded but set off in a different direction after Reyshik left. The battle within could be handled by the Bushida and Trystan said he could handle it. He had to get to one of the top levels for he remembered something that he had learned of Utapu. Along the way he remembered a person named Tanith that he had heard joined the Dark Dwellers and that she had died. There were rumors that she wasn't and he wondered if she had a change of heart if she were alive.
At the top level, he found what he had been looking for and hoped that he wasn't too late. Utapu was meant to happen but he had to try and save his fellow Jedi. He whistled for one of the creatures who came running. HE jumped on and drove him back down to where he saw the ring of Dark Dwellers surrounding the Jedi as in his vision. He made a daring move by having the creature jump down and land to make a bigger perimeter.

While the fight was going on, Ja' Mahia sent a message to Blise. We must find some more strong force users to join the Dark Dwellers he thought. I think it should be that Miklos. He is quick to fight. I like that.. Ja' Mahia looked across the battlefield and looked for Miklos. Nowhere in sight. Then finally, he spotted Miklos drving a huge creature towards him. Ja' Mahia ran up to the creature and threw his red lightsaber at it. The creature split in half and Miklos jumped off. Miklos was about to attack Ja' Mahia when he stopped him. "Stop!" Ja' Mahia said and Miklos listened. "I have a proposition for you.."

(Jesus.. Oh, and wildjedi. I just landed because Arvik invaded the city within milliseconds, so I had to speed up)

He and his Jedi cut through the army, one Jedi being overwhelmed and was killed in a rain of blaster fire, his saber falling behind him and deactivating. "Jonesy!" Reyshik cried, cutting his way over to the fallen Jedi. He kneeled down, holding his head up, a force shield penetrating their defenses and slamming back a few soldiers, creating a barrier around Reyshik and the Jedi.

He shook his head and sighed, a flash of white light and he was holding nothing more than Jedi robes. He put the saber in his sash and took off back towards the fight, taking down his force shield.

"We're pushing them back!" He said as his platoon of Jedi Knights started to form a chain, cutting down any Soldier trying to pass by and slowly moving towards the area where they were coming out of, cutting, slicing, force waves and bursts of force lightning illuminating the area and sending soldiers flying in the air.

Natiss was mad that his plan had failed, but he had managed to warn the council of the impending attack though.He watched the jedi prepare for the attack from his quarters.

Miklos drew his saber out and held it in his right hand. He began to circle slowly and said, "You will not get away with this Ja'Mahia." Everything seemed to blur around them, no one was interfering. Trystan sent a reassurance that the Bushida were making their way to the Jedi to help drive back the Dark Dwellers. Miklos had a suspicion as to what Ja'Mahia was up to and sent his concern to Reyshik.

"Man, igniting your lightsaber when your opponent asked for mercy... You're perfect!" Ja' Mahia said. "Did you know that the jedi is betraying you?" He asked. "I know Reyshik criticised your actions in the last battle. And I know you love that rush in your blood to fight snd try your hardest! But the jedi keep dragging you back!" Ja' Mahia pulled out his lightsaber, just in case Miklos charged. "Don't you wish the jedi could, maybe, change their rules a little?" He asked.

Miklos, we have it alright here. And with the help of the Bushida, we're winning. He and his platoon managed to board the sith flagship and take out it's main controls, yet he and one Jedi knight stayed behind, guarding the temple. This knight was one of his best friends, even though he might never admit it. He grew up with him, his name was Drake, and he held a bronze lightsaber in his left hand, down to left side. Reyshik had his blue lightsaber in his right hand, down to his right side.

No one was getting in or out alive.

"I don't think so. You seriously misunderstand my people and myself. I have no lust for battle yet I do it because I must in order to stop you," Miklos was still warily eyeing Ja'Mahia. He knew in his heart what he had to do and hoped that the Jedi would survive it.

Natiss ran towards a nearby crashed dark dweller fighter. Boarding it he decided to do whatever it took to kill Ja'Mahis, Blise and every other Dark Dweller he found. He knew he shouldn't think like this but he couldn't help himself. As he joined the fray he accelerated toward the nearest target...

Miklos was aware that Natiss was doing something. He looked at Ja'Mahia and said, "You seem to had accumulated people who oppose you."

"I know of Natiss' plans, they are the little things that would lure him to the dark side, and he's coming to kill me now... It is the jedi way to stop him without killing him, but if you do so.. What will become of me? I can escape... But if I get killed by Natiss, then you will feel the guilt for ages that you did not stop a jedi gone crazy when you had the chance." Ja' Mahia said and smiled at Miklos. "I fear he is coming soon, so soon you will have to make a decision."

"Ah but we are rooted in choice. All one can do is say their piece and let the other make the choice. I can't make his choice but only reason. We detach ourselves from guilt. It shames us and brings dishonor," Miklos may have sounded like a broken musical instrument but in his mind, he was melding what his rescuers had taught him with the Jedi teachings. It was a scene that would be repeated four thousand years later.

"So, Jedi.. Are you going to let me die? Or are you going to stop Natiss? Think about it. If you join me, I will end this war.. But if you help Natiss destroy me, it'll be a martyr for powerful Dark Dwellers like Blise? So tell me what you shall do?"

"Your fate is that your rule will end. Natiss won't kill you because you have something else up your sleeve." Miklos was not one to be intimidated. He had faced worse in the Unknown Regions and wouldn't let small things disturb him.

"Sure.." Ja' Mahia said. "Try me........"

Miklos cocked a brow and responded, "Make your move."

Natiss ran towards Ja'Mahia, saber ignited. He jumped at Ja'mahia, he could feel the anger coursing through him, he knew it shouldn't be there but he couldn't stop himself.

With a controlled motion Miklos levitated Natiss and held him in midair. He said, "No, Natiss, not anger." Lowering his hand, Natiss remained in the air and using his mind, Miklos brought Natiss toward him. He set him down next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. He continued, "There is no emotion, there is peace." It looked as if Miklos was ignoring Ja'Mahia whe in fact he was aware of every single move.

"Hmm..." Ja' Mahia thought. He knew that this Miklos wouldn't give in to the dark side but this new Natiss would. Ja' Mahia raised a hand and both he and Natiss disapeered. When they reappeared, they were in a dark dungeon on Utapau, and they could here the battle outside. "Tell me.." Ja' Mahia said. "Why do you hate Me?"



Meanwhile, Blise was searching out Reyshik. He sensed something bad as his warship glided over the city. He looked down and saw his target. "FIRE!" He shouted and suddenly a beam shot out and blasted the ship just as Reyshi jumped out of the way. Blise force jumped out of his ship, ignited his lightsaber, and charged in at Reyshik. "Give it up, Jedi!" Blise shouted angrily and thrusted his crimson glowing lightsaber at the Jedi Master.

Mikos saw what happened and gave a sharp whistle. Another creature appeared and Miklos jumped on its back. With a "hah" they took off. Miklos never lost sight of Ja'Mahia. His presence stank the Force and the other senses that he had been taught. He made his way to the dungeons of Utapu while sending a message to Natiss Calm yourself. Wipe the fear from your mind and concentrate on my voice...

Reyshik spun around the man and clashed sabers with him, then pushing away at his blade as Drake took off towards the docking bay, chasing two fleeing Dark Jedi. Reyshik twirled his saber and struck at the man, only to end up in a clash again. "This will never solve anything!" He yelled, backflipping to safety some 20 feet away, twirling his saber.

"I don't want to hurt you.."

Blise looked at his enemy. He took his lightsaber and slammed it into Reyshik's. The battle went on and on. Blise force jumped over Reyshik and used force lightning on him which he resisted. Reyshik swung and Blise slid underneath Reyshik and struck his lightsaber. Blise charged in again and on the last second, Reyshik brought out his lightsaber. The saber went straight through Blise's thigh and cut off his leg. Now Blise was angry. "YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS!" He shouted and used force storm.

Reyshik shrugged off the weak force storm and used a force push to throw his lightsaber away and at a wall. He walked up to him and put his saber blade to his throat. "Yield, and you shall not be killed."

"You wouldn't kill me!" The week Blise said. He looked up at Reyshik. "You're a Jedi! You wouldn't!"

"If it means saving lives, then I would in a second," he said, moving his saber a bit closer, almost touching the flesh on his neck. "Repent for your bad deeds and renounce the Dark Side, it's never too late to be good.."

"Strike me down now.." Blise said. "End me... Let's see if you can!"

He pulled his lightsaber back. "You will not yield, you will not renounce. There is no choice. I can't let anyone else be hurt.." He swung his lightsaber towards his throat. (You can take over, I don't want to do an automatic hit)

Blise's eyes widenend as the saber went through his throat. "Thank you..." Blise said. "For ending this pain that Ja' Mahia has brought upon me.... But.. before I.. die.... I have a prophecy I predicted in my pocket... Show it to the evil tyrant....." And with that, the mighty General Blise passed to the force, finally free from the dark wrath of Ja' Mahia.

A small note fell out of Blise's pocket. It read..

"Once the land is barren by the dark and evil king
The son of the good master shall avenge the dead and sing
'The dark has gone, the light is here'
and slice in half the lord of fear.
The one who will save us will stray from the light
but will eventually come to help the fight
against the one, who haunts the night."
- General Blise

He twirled his saber and switched his saber off, sheathing it. He picked up the paper, reading it. "Goodbye, Blise," he said, walking off as his body disappeared. He headed back towards the Academy, his friend Drake walking up beside him, blaster holes in his clothing and scorch marks near his shoes and robe.

"So.. did you disrupt the system of Ja'Mahia's flagship?" Reyshik asked.

Drake nodded, whipping his sweaty bangs out of his face."Done. The rest of the ships are deactivated to. No escape," Drake said.

Miklos had managed to catch up with Ja'Mahia and Natiss. He jumped from his beast to land between Ja'Mahia and Natiss. He said to Ja'Mahia, "You have lost. The Jedi have the high ground."

"You foolish Jedi!" Ja' Mahia shouted. "You always think you haave the upper hand but you don't!" Ja' Mahia turned to Miklos. "Where in the galaxy have you been when the Dark Dwellers invaded Alderaan? Didn't you know we had a plan? What about the time we purposely gave up on Coroscaunt? We have everything under control!"
For a moment there was silence, and then Ja' Mahia sensed Blise's death. "I know you sense it.. Ja' Mahia said. "You sense the passing of General Blise! He was helping you out all along! And see what this got him? He was killed by the one he secretly assisted. The jedi are liars!"

((Sorry, It's hard to keep up, any way,))
Natiss watched Miklos and Ja'mahia argue. He still hadn't answered Ja'Mahia's question.
He didn't know why he hated Ja'Mahia, jedi aren't supposed to hate, yet he still wanted to kill all the dark jedi and Sith in the galaxy.Even through the anger he had no desire to hurt Mikos or any other jedi, onlt Ja'Mahia. He jumped over Miklos and began to fight Ja'mahia.

"So much for peace." Ja' Mahia scoffed and blocked Natiss' lightsaber. "Honestly, there has to be a reason! It can't be because we kill our enemies when we have the cahnce to spare them. Reyshik killed Blise. It can't be because we give in too easily to our emotions. You did it yourself. Face it! There are two major differences between the light and the dark side. Those who serve the dark side express their evil while the light side hides it. There is evil on both sides! You just think that just because we show our evil that we are worse. The jedi have many evil secrets unkown to most of the galaxy. And second of all, the dark side is much more powerful and strong! Let me give you an example. The jedi stick with their code all the time... When people are around. I used to be on the Jedi Council once and after learning their dark secrets, I couldn't stand them anymore! They were just as bad as the Dark Dwellers, but not this time.. This time the Dark Dwellers are fighting against the jedis' evil plans... If only you knew. That is why we must concquer the galaxy and destroy all the jedi enclaves, so they will not once again rule the galaxy and continue to cause war. Think about it. If there is only one kind of force user in teh galaxy, we wouldn't have war anymore. This war and many others would end if you two decide to join the dark dwellers!"

"There is evil in everything, lightside and darkside,"Natiss grunted as he deflected Ja'Mahia's blade"THere is even a place for emotion, but the killing of someone who asks for mercy, that is truly evil, and evil only seems better and eaiser, it leads to utter destruction. I'll never join you, however, bringing the dark dwellers down will most likely get me bannished from the order."Natiss force pused Miklos out of the battle and continued to try and kill Ja'Mahia."Without a leader the Dark Dwellers wwill fall!"

"Both sides have their code," Miklos said and he withdrew his lightsaber. He held it in his right hand and in the left, he held a small object. It was a small black box. There was no apparent opening but Miklos knew every inch of it. He had hidden it there on his return journey home for a reason and he had hoped that he wouldn't have to seek it out again. He continued, but not in a normal tone. In fact it seemed amplied with many voices of those who had passed before, "The Force exists in all life and commands it. We are the guardians of the Force as we have been for over twenty thousand years. We have fought your kind. You will not last."

He sensed the fight between the three. "Drake, stay here," Reyshik said, walking towards the three, making his way about 10 feet from the fight. Drake was at the entrance, guarding it.

He glanced at Ja' Mahia and Natiss, throwing a massive force whirlwind towards Natiss, temporarily holding him into the air as his saber slid along the ground. He glanced at Miklos. "You kept him here too long. His army is starting to retreat and formulate another plan, you fell into his grasp."

Reyshik unsheathed his lightsaber, flicking it out to the side violently with his right hand, a loud piercing fizz was heard as it slid out of the hilt, he held it out to his right side, somewhat towards the ground.

"Ja'Mahia. Today is the day you, and all Dark Dwellers are defeated."

"You are mistaken again." Ja' Mahia said. "The Dark Dwellers, unlike the pathetic sith, do not kill prisoners either. We are not as evil as the sith I must tell you, but way more powerful. Tell me. Why kill prisoners when their lives are valuable to all. One life can make a difference on all the galaxy, and killing that prisoner might endanger your chances of victory. So no, we do not kill when they ask for mercy, we keep them prisoner. and as for you Miklos, you believe you are so wise, and you are... We can end this war right now! Many innocent lives will be spared. I can end this war if you can get Reyshik into surrenduring all his men to the Dark Dwellers! We will help the Republic to become a better place!"
