The Dark Empire

The galaxy is not what it once was. A dark shadow looms over the collective systems of the Republic. The Sith have returned, and they have found that they are strong. Led by the mysterious and ruthless Dred Akunin, the Sith Empire has wrought havoc across the galaxy.

Hope now lingers in dark corners. Nameless warriors fight a campaign of rebellion against the growing tyranny of the Sith. The old order has been swept away and the Jedi are fugitives under pain of death.

As the Empire spreads from planet to planet, the Sith continue to corrupt the innocent with their evil teachings. In the academy on Socianis, two young warriors now train in the dark arts. Their destinies intertwined, linked by an idea and the memories of the force… [/glow]

Virers ship jumped out of hyperspace. Hundreds of Capital Ships orbited Coruscant. He sped towards Coruscant, coming under fire from fighters. He barrol rolled his ship through lasers. Virer increased all power to the forward shields. The ships fired heavy cannons towards Virer. He entered the Coruscant atmosphere and fired his weapons at Sith troops that were stationed on the ground. He swerved through buildings, being guided by the Force. Virer finally saw a hangar near his destination. He landed the ship, got out, and walked out of the hangar, seeing the towering building he needed to go to.

The wind howled and the dust around the academy whipped through the air as a lone figure in brown robes approaches the entrance.

Guard: Only students may enter here.
Naomi Drex: I am a student.
Guard: Name?
Naomi Drex: Naomi Bree...
Guard: One moment.......checks out. A pretty lady like you shouldn't go wonderin out in the desert all by herself.

Naomi smiles and begins to crush the guards neck. She enters as he falls to his knees struggling for breath.

Darth Striker: You're late Naomi.
Naomi Drex: I'm sorry master....I was delayed....
Darth Striker: Dolus managed to show up on time. He's been here for over two hours now. You'll have alot of catching up to do if you hope to beat him in your sparing match today.
Naomi Drex: Heh, unlike Dolus I don't need practice. I can handle myself.

Striker whips out his arm and his lightsaber simutaneously flies into his hand, igniting near Naomi's neck.

Darth Striker: Really? I doubt that. Now get to work!

[Lord Nexus]

Dolus smiled as Naomi was being yelled at and threatend by Lord Striker, Striker looked over to him and pointed his saber at Dolus.

Darth Striker: Laugh while you still can young Dolus!
Darth Dokus: .......

Darth Striker dis-ignited his saber and put it back in his robe, he looked to both his apprentices and then went to sit down nearby. He looked back up to them with weary eyes.

Darth Striker: Train Naomi...But be aware of the present. You aswell Dolus...

Darth Kumori stands in the center of a darkened room. His eyes shut as he concentrates on his surroundings. His metalic right forearm is clinched into fist. Suddenly he unclinches the fist and five long razor blades shoot out of his finger tips, Kumori spins around and slices through two attack droids like butter. He lifts another into the air and crushes it with the force. Then from the shadows, about twenty more droids surround Kumori. The blades quickly retract, then from the palm of his robotic hand a metallic whip slowly uncoils. Kumori sharply cracks the whip and it electrifies, the flashing of the sparks lighting the room. The droid ignite their lightsabers and attack. Kumori wraps his whip around the neck of one and slams it into the wall, then, while nimbly dodging the attacks of others, uses his whip to insnare the saber of one of the droids. Swinging the saber around on the end of the whip he decapitates several droids. The whip then quickly retracts and the lightsaber is brought to Kumori's hand, five droids remain. The robotic hand begins to rapidly spin (greivous style) as Kumori approaches the droids. Flicking his wrist about, Kumori saws four of the droids to pieces, the last gets a taste of force lightning untill it explodes. The lights suddenly turn on....

Kysen: Level 60....childs play huh?
Darth Kumori: Hardly broke a sweat. I'll have to challenge myself next time.
Kysen: An introder has landed on the planet my lord. What will you have me do?
Darth Kumori: Send the droids... they'll have better luck out there then in here...

"Hey you! Stop!" a sith guard warned Virer, who had reached the tall building."What is your business here?"

Virer looked around his surroundings. He saw another guard approach. He looked up then back down at the guards.

"Your life." Virer Force-Pushed the guard into a building. The other guard fired his gun at Virer, but Virer stuck his hand out and re-directed the shots back at the guard.

He Force-Jumped up the building and reached almost the top part of the building. He grabbed a ledge and gripped his hands onto it. Virer kicked open a window and jumped inside. He was now in a room surrounded by torches around the room.

"Just like home, but with a disturbance in the Force," thought Virer. He walked into the hallway and there was no one out there. As he walked down the hallway, he saw a canister on the floor. He picked it up and examined it.

"Hm, this could be of later use to me." he put the canister in his robe and continued walking. He could hear voices in a room ahead.

"The area is secure, commander. The Jedi are extinct." said someone.

"Good, keep the legion here." said the commander.

Virer took out his lightsabers and kicked open the door. The soldiers looked in shock.

"The Jedi are dead, you say?" Virer swung his blue lightsaber at the commander, cutting him in half. A soldier fire his pistol at him, but Virer parried it. He jumped in the air and round-housed swund his lightsaber at the mans arm. He fell to the ground, clutching his side. Virer made an "X" like thing(the one Anakin did in Episode III) at the soldiers head.

"What has happened to the Jedi?" asked Virer.

"They're dead, what do you expect? The Sith are too powerful for them."

"Who is the leader of the Sith?"

"Wouldn't you like to know."

"I actually would. You will tell me who the leader is," said Virer, waving his hand.

"Lord Kumori. Long live Kumori!"

Virer pulled his lightsabers away, beheading the soldier."Now that I know who this Sith Lord is, I am not going to engage him. Not yet. I need to get out of here and find out what happened to my son. Who is killer is."

Virer crashed through a window and landed on an oncoming Sith Transport. He killed the drivers by punching his fist through the window and choking them to death.

[Si Quan]

Darth Baxkil lands his ship, "The Eye of the Storm" on Socianis. He cloaks himself with the force and walks right past the guards. He walks to the academy.

"Who's in charge here?" he asks

[Lord Nexus]

An hour or so had passed and Striker had been sitting by himself thinking, he opened his eyes to his padawans. He stood up and took out a saber, he walked in the middle of the room and began carving into the floor a circle in which the two would fight in.

Darth Striker: It is time to see which of you is the stronger one. I have created this battle ring to test you. There is only two ways to become the victor. Knock your opponent out of the circle, or, a win by death.

Dobus and Naomi looked at each other with fire in their eyes, Striker smiled at this.

Darth Striker: When you see my saber slam into the floor you will begin, no sooner either.
Darth Striker: Prepare your weapons! Get Ready!
*Striker slams his saber into the floor*
Darth Striker: GO!

Dolus had both his red katana sabers ignited, he peered down Naomi for only a split second before having the entire plan laid out in his mind.

[philly]

Naomi ignites her blue saber and lunges at Dolus. Her emotion and anger causes her to blindly slash at Dolus who blocks all of her attacks. The two both use force push at the same time struggling to gain the upperhand. Naomi strains then is suddenly sent flying backward.

Darth Striker: Winner, Dolus.
Naomi Drex: He got lucky, I was holding back.
Dolus: Perhaps you'd like to try again?
Naomi Drex: No need, when it comes time for the acts of worth, you'll get what's coming to you.

[bruinfamer]

As he took control of the ship, his scanner showed 20 readings.

"Oh dang. Like I wanted to battle today."

Virer turned the ship around and headed for the droids. Each held red lightsabers. Virer pressed a button and it opened a door. He jumped out of his seat and jumped out the door. The droids avoided the explosion and the ship by jumping out of the way. Virer took out his green and blue single hilted lightsabers and ignited them. Clouds drew near the building. He rushed the droids with a swift stroke. One droid fell down while the others blocked the strike. A droid exchanged blows with Virer as the others followed. Virer flipped over a group of droids and stuck out both of his hands. He crunched both of his hands, crunching 5 droids. One droid jumped in the air, about to do a downward strike, but Virer slid under him and swung both of his lightsabers underneath the droid, carving it in half. Virer closed his eyes and dis-ignited his lightsabers. The droids stopped moving in.

The clouds around the tall building began to rumble with thunder and the droids looked up. Virer remained still. Lighting shot out from the clouds. It connected with one droid then to the surrounding droids. They fell to the ground, smoke and sparks coming out of them. All grew quiet again and Virer opened his eyes. Then the sounds of heavy foot steps came. Virer turned around to see a droid with four arms and 4 wielding lightsabers in its hands.

The droid spun its lightsabers (Grievous style, think Episode III). Virer walked back. The droid attacked. He parried the blows with his lightsabers and agility. The droid spun it's body around(Grievous cartoon style) rapidly, causing Virer to only see blurs of the lightsabers. He jumped over the droid and Force-Pushed it into a building. The droid shook its head and stood back up. Virer lifted his hand and used the Force to grab a large sign. He moved his hand downward, and the sign crashed on the droid. Sparks went everywhere. The remains of the droid started burning.

Virer Force-Sprinted back to his shuttle, which remained untouched, and took off to find any more Jedi.....
