The Sith Infiltrator known as The Krayt exited hyperspace over the volcanic planet of Mustafar. Red eyes looked at the volcanic lava flowing below as Kayen guided the ship down towards the surface. He found a small, rocky island in the middle of lava flows and landed.
Pulling his black hood over his head, Kayen left the ship with his half finished lightsaber clipped to his belt. He had heard of lightsaber crystals here and he was going to find one.

Kayen walked away from his ship as the landing ramp closed behind him. He looked around as the volcanic ash dusted from his robes and hood. There was an entrance to a cave up ahead, so he decided to go that way.
Kayen made his way to the small mouth of the cave and ducked inside, removing a small flashlight from his belt and turning it on to illuminate the darkness. The cave led into a tunnel, probably dug out by a lava flea. Kayen pointed the flashlight around as he moved into the tunnel.

As he got further into the cave, Kayen heard a loud shriek around the corner from him. He quickly pointed the flashlight just as a large lava flea that took up the entire width of the tunnel bowled around the corner right toward him.
Kayen quickly drew his lightsaber as he fell to his back and ignited the red blade. The lava flea ran right toward Kayen, only to impale itself on the lightsaber blade. The giant bug screeched and collapsed on top of Kayen.
Kayen growled and quickly pulled himself from under the dead insect, squeezing past it as he continued through the tunnel. He looked down at the green blood of the creature that had stained his robes and growled. "Gross!"

Kayen continued through the tunnel until he reached a large internal room and he saw a large crystalline formation growing from the wall where a lava flow had dripped from the wall and crystallized. The crystals seemed to flow like lava and cast a red light into the chamber.
Kayen stepped forward to the crystal slowly and he could feel the heat coming from it. Kayen looked at the crystal and cautiously touched it. It was cool... Kayen smiled and carefully broke handfuls of the crystal, placing them into his pouch on his belt.

Kayen finished collecting what crystals he wanted and he made his way from the tunnel toward his ship. But when he exited the cave, Kayen saw a group of Mustafarians around his ship. All tall and thin, the group of 5 were staring at Kayen. One of them, apparently the leader who was astride a lava flea, turned toward Kayen and spoke in understandable Basic.
"You have defaced our sacred caves and DESTROYED the crystals of the Gods! You must be punished! Surrender and your pain will be quick..."
Kayen lowered his pouch to the ground slowly and ignited the single blade of his lightsaber as he stood in a defensive posture.

"You're not going to surrender, you shall die!" The leader yelled and charged forward on his lava flea right at Kayen, swinging his staff around and at Kayen's chest with both hands.

Kayen quickly spun around the charge and on the opposite side of the staff as he swung his lightsaber through the legs of the giant flea. The flea dropped and its rider leaped from its back.

As the flea toppled to the ground, the Mustafarian leader jumped at Kayen and slammed his staff down towards Kayen's head in an attempt to crush his skull.

Kayen lifted his lightsaber to block the blow, slicing straight through the staff before he spun around and stabbed his lightsaber through the body of the leader.

The leader coughed up blood as he crumpled to the ground. The other 4 Mustafarians -- two with staffs and two with whips -- charged Kayen with a scream and tried to drive him back toward the lava.

Kayen watched as he was blocking attacks and stepping back slowly until he noticed what they were trying to do. Kayen quickly ran forward and jumped over the group of Mustafarians, landing behind them he held out his hand and sent a force push into them.

Three of the attackers flew into the lava and screamed as they started to burn. The fourth rolled across the ground and stopped near the edge, looking up at Kayen through big eyes.

Kayen stepped forward quickly and stabbed him to finish him off. He quickly turned around and picked up his bag of crystals as he headed into his ship and left the molten planet.
