As the dust settled, Cain was gone, but quite a bit of blood was left where he had been. The area of the academy where the dorm had been was now exposed to the elements as it had been blown to bits.
Elsewhere on Korriban, Cain emerged from the void and collapsed to the ground. His skin burned and lashed from his battle. Wincing he pulled himself up into his shuttle. There was little more he could do here. The shuttle lifted off the surface and headed into space.
__________________________
Back in the academy, Jack entered the main hall. The rumblings of the battle near by not seeming to phase him much as he lit up another cigarette.
"Heh... fool," Jack laughed to himself, reaching into his jacket and producing an in tact Sith holocron.

"What the hell" I thought seeing Cain leaving. "Right know I have NO idea what is going on" I stated quietly. Stepping out of the darkness I finaly anounce, "Will enyone Train me in the ways of the sith"while i bowed on one knee to no one in perticular.

Jack raised an eyebrow at the confused Sith as he knelt down, taking another puff from his cigarette. He looked like a 17 year old kid with insomnia and a nicotine addiction as he Stuffed the holocron back into his jacket, turning to Rapture and responding to him with the cigarette still between his lips.
"You honestly have NO idea what could be happening?" Jack asked, taking the cigarette out of his mouth and exhaling, "I see it's not just the Kumori who are slow on the uptake these days... well sorry, kid. If you're looking for Sith training I don't think I can help you there. Although... I could teach you a far greater power. If you think you can handle it."

Skyler and Drake exited their chambers and walked towards where they could feel most of the disturbance.. They walked into the room as a man mentioned far greater power than the Sith..
"Far greater power you say?" Skyler said as he stepped farther into the room in order to be noticed.. Drake followed yet he stayed a bit back.. "What kind of power are we talking about here?" Skyler said now fairly intrested..
Skyler knew if their was a power far greater than the Sith's then it would be exactly what he needed..

"Heh," Jack chuckled, "Mention power and suddenly the Sith scurry out of their holes like rats to old cheese." Taking one last drag, Jack flicked the butt of his cigarette away and glanced over the three Sith now before him. He was silent for a long while before finally speaking.
"Hmm... I suppose you could be of some use to me, however meager. Let's get to it then."
Shaking his shoulders, Jack slid off his jacket. His black wings slowly stretching out and getting some breathing room behind him. Jack then tossed the jacket onto the floor between him and the Sith.
"Now, tell me one thing that it would be impossible to do with this jacket using the force."

Veldrin, unable to read because of the noise and his ship shaking, got out of his ship and tried to find Archos.

Soft, bootfalls whispered through the room as Jack stood before the Sithlings, his large wings spread behind him, Na'omi's reddish eyes locked onto them. Her first thought was that he must be like her, one of her 'extinct' breathren, she recognized him, in that irratiting, familar way. As though she'd seen him out the corner of her eye years before, and couldn't put her finger on when or where.
Walking carefully she moved through the crowd, standing somewhere in the middle where she could keep her eyes locked on the winged man. She smiled softly, as he asked the young, power hungry Siths what couldn't be done to the jacket, it strangely resembked the long coat she herself was wearing over her large white, scarred wings and her long old fashioned black dress.
"Nothing. The only limit to your power is your imagination and your will to use it." she said in a strong, but soft voice.

Upon hearing the answer, Jack's attention shifted to Na'omi and a slight grin grew over his face.
"Irihi Naomi... It would appear not even death can hold back Mitsukai anymore. When last I saw you they had you harpooned by the wings to the floor of the cathedral," Jack said summoning his jacket back to his hand, "How'd that work out for ya?"

Na'omi's face lighted up as the strange man recoginzed her, her name and everything passed through his lips as he grinned at her. Then it hit her, he had seen her before, before everything happened, before she forgot.
"I'm terribly sorry... I'm afraid I don't know your name... Though maybe you could help to refresh my memory?" she asked kindly, tossing off her own jacket as she flapped her large white wings, the large pale scars on each wing noticable.
"Am I supposed to be dead?" she asked curiously as she floated up next to Jack.

"Hmm... took your memory too, did they?" Jack asked, slipping another cigarette from his jacket before putting it back on and lighting up, "Well it's a good thing you came to me. I'd be more then happy to refresh your memory and your power... especially after what those Jedi did to you."

"Jedi? What did the Jedi do to me..?" she asked frowning. Na'omi's red eyes narrowed as she looked at Jack, smoking a cigarette. She knew he was so very familar, yet she couldn't place his name or anything about him. It was almost like it was just a haunting feeling she got from him.
"What is your name?" she asked bluntly.

"Jack Razor," He answered followed by a slow drag, "And I just told you... harpooned to the floor, robbed of your memories, left for dead. It would seem someone underestimated you, my old friend. You are indeed difficult to kill."
Jack turned and took a few steps away, walking between the statue-like Luster and Archos who flanked him to either side.
"I don't know much of the exact circumstances surrounding your past, your business with the Jedi is not really any of my concern," Jack began, "But I do think we can help each other. I might consider letting you stay and train with us. I think I could help you to regain what you've lost."

"Jack Razor..." she muttered to herself, eyes closed as she desperately grasped at the threads of memory just beyond her reach. Na'omi opened her eyes again, looking at Jack as she thought things over, trying not to let go of her grip on her calm, she needed to think things out, no need to be rash, she thought to herself.
"Old friend? Harpooned to the floor and left for dead? You know all of this, you know how the Jedi have wronged me, and even claim to be a friend, yet you have no idea of my past or my relationship with the Jedi that hurt me?" she thought outloud more, pushing her silver hair out of her eyes.
"What could you honestly offer me? How do I know you could help me at all?"

"Well, it's hard not to know what they did to you, Naomi," Jack said, exhaling smoke into the air, "They made quite a public display of it. What the exact reasons were for this punishment though I'm afraid I do not know. It may have been some crime you committed or you may have simply been a threat to them."
Jack then turned his head slowly, looking over his shoulder at Naomi.
"You are a Mitsukai, Naomi. One of the seven elders and the creator of 'Light Form'. It's not a stretch to imagine someone would want you out of the way. What I can do for you is to help you regain the power you once had. After that... well you'll just have to trust me."

Jack turned his attention back to the Sith apprentices, stuffing his hands into his jacket pockets.
"Well then... I guess I promised you guys some power," Jack said with a smoke filled sigh, "The point I was making with the jacket is that there is no greater power then the force, the only limit to this power is your own limits. Light side... dark side... the only difference between these two is the how, and quite frankly I could give a shit how it is you find yourself connected to the force or what you use it for. Power is a tool, and the force is power. It is a means to an end, not the end itself. The Sith are like carpenters who fight over who has the biggest hammer and not who can build the best house. It is a useless philosophy with an even more useless fate."
Jack paused to take the last drag off his cigarette before dropping it to the floor and stomping it out with a twist of his boot.
"From this day forward you are not Sith. You are of the Mitsukai, you are Kumori. And as such you will wield a Mitsukai's power... The Mitsukai elders passed on seven force forms, each based on a fundamental natural source and specializing in a unique form of combat. The first form all Mitsukai are taught is Air Form. Seeing as you all are rookies, we'll start there."
Swinging his arm across his body, a sudden slice of air cut across one of the statues in the academy. It stood motionless for a moment before the top half slide off and slammed into the floor.
"Air is all around you. The force can manipulate even the smallest of objects, even the individual molecules of air in this room now. The first technique I will teach you, Razor Wind, has a very simple principle."
Jack extended his other arm towards the statue on the other side of the room. It was suddenly engulfed by thousands of slices before crumbling into tiny pieces.
"Use the force to line up the molecules in the air into a straight edge, then fire it at an opponent. Something so fine and moving at high enough speeds can slice any object, the only trick is keeping the molecules aligned long enough to slice all the way through. With practice you will be able to do much more. For now I want you all to show me a simple Razor Wind."
