The Dark Empire (Episode 4)

[Jack Of Blades]

Back on Chinine John could feel something was wrong on the Planet but didnt know what. He landed and left his ship but only for a little bit because each step he took he could feel something draining the life from him and another was gaining power. Then it hit him Jack's Soul wasnt inside of him controlling him it was in Chinine itself and that is why he was drawn to it because Jack wanted to be free of his prison to wreck havoc on the galaxy again. John felt that the battle on Corusant was not going well for the Jedi. In Fact all the jedi brought to help defeat the sith were dead and only a few remained. He knew that if he didnt go and help the Jedi and those fighting with them on Corusant then they would surely fail. He Left but knew that one day he would return to fight Jack Of Blades and hope he is strong enough to defeat him.

John got in his ship and blasted off as he was leaving the Atmosphere he could feel Jack calling to him.

Jack:Boy you leaving me here changes nothing I will return and there is nothing you can do to stop me.
John:I may be leaving now but i will return Jack and i will stop you one way or another.

Jack tried to continue the conversation but John put up a mental block to stop the thoughts of Jack from reaching him. He set the auto-pilot and put in the coordinates for Corusant and went to his room to change out of his now dirty White robes. He came out in Black robes with gold trim all the way around. He went to the workbench and set a double-hilt saber he found on the ship and began to work on it. when he was done he ignited it a gold blade come out one end and a Black out the other. he attached it to his belt next to the color changing saber and went back to the pilots chair. He was dropping out of Hyperspace and into the space battle
he tried to move with larger ships to avoid being shot at until he was close enough to make a run for the planets surface. He finally got close enough to move down to the planet's surface and help defeat the sith but he doubted himself because even with his help would it be enough to stop the sith. Then he felt Darth Dolus and Keith he knew they were feeling weakened and need his help so he set his ship to hover and opened the door about 100 feet above their position and Jumped out. He picked up more and more speed and didnt seem to be slowing down at all. then when he was about 30 feet from the ground he used force push and slowed himself enough that he could land without hurting himself. When he land he fell to one knee and got up and removed his hood.

Darth Dolus and Keith: Who are You
John: I am John Smith and i have come to help you defeat this sith threat so that i may fight a greater evil.
Darth Dolus:Ok then but you may die fighting here
John: If I die then so be it
Keith: We are outnumbered greatly and are weakened from the battle
John: Then take what energy you need from me and together we shall destroy the sith once and for all.

John then turned and saw about 50 sith soldiers moving in on their position. He removes his outer robe and hung it on some nearby wreckage and slowly walked out to face the sith forces.Dolus and Keith looke at him like he was crazy.

Dolus:Does he have a deathwish?
Keith: I dont know but no one can take on that many sith by themselves.

As John walked towards the sith soldiers he began to glow a bright white on one side and dark black on the other and small pieces of rubble began to moves along the ground. John took out the double hilt saber he had crafted and only ignites the gold end of it and brought it to his side. John eyes started to glow as well each eye glowing the opposite color it was. The soldiers had never seen anything like this before and started to shoot at him. The shots bounced off him like they didnt even phase him at all. A small ball that glowed began to come from the hand that didnt have the saber in it. He lifted his hand while continuing to walk towards the soldiers. When the when the ball became large enough John stopped and lifted his hand to shoulder height and turned his hand so the palm was facing up. the ball began to hover above his hand. John walked away and closed his eyes the ball started to move on its own towards the soldiers who had stopped firing at him and stared at this glowing ball coming towards them. the ball floated just above them and once it was in the middle John opened his eyes and simply said

John:Death to those who disturb the peace

With that a blinding light surrounded the soldiers and all you could here was screams of agony and pain. when the light had faded away there was nothing there just a crater where the the soldiers were. John stopped glowing and dropped to one knee he had become drained from his technique. Inside he knew he could not fail and had to give everything he had to this battle. Dolus and Keith both came over to him and helped him up. They all stood side by side waiting for the next wave of sith forces to come each knowing that they could die in this fight.

*Dramatic Hero theme Plays in the background*

[Lord Nexus]

Dolus didn't say a word, he broke the hilt of his double bladed katana over his knee. He twirled the jade katana in his left hand and the red katana in his right, he screamed with a war cry. He charged into the line of the Sith, cutting them down as he went. He was surrounded by what seemed what was left of the Sith Army, all of them attacking him at once. They slashed at him, stabbed him, but he kept fighting. The blade of destruction knocking the Sith back, the blade of life keep Lord Dolus alive to do these things. But after enough of combat even the greatest warriors fall short, and with one last swing of the jade colored blade Dolus fell down to the dirt face first. The dust rose up around his body, he slid his katanas under him and looked out his glossy eyes. The Last Jedi...

[Jack Of Blades]

John saw what Dolus had done and now for the first time in his felt he had a purpose in his life. He charged into battle with both end of his double hilt saber ignited with passion in his eyes and determination in his soul he felt that he could make his life count in this battle.

[Si Quan]

Keith: DOLUS! NO!!!

Keith charged at the sith in a fury of rage. He slashed down any sith that came in his way. But there where too many. They were overwhelming. Keith's lightsaber was knocked from his hand. As a blade was about to cut through his chest, he used the force to stop time.

Keith: Someone help.....
Si Quan: It is your time.
Keith: What?
Si Quan: You will die here today, it is your destiny.
Keith: I'm afraid. Afraid of what's to come.
Si Quan: Don't be. It will all be alright. Good always prevails. Follow your feelings and you will find that the sith will lose today. The light will win

Si Quan faded away

Keith stood ready for what was to come. He sped up time, and the lightsaber went foward. It stabbed empty space for keith was already gone. He was one with the force.

[Jack Of Blades]

John now stood alone surrounded by thousands of Sith soldiers and Dark Jedi. His eyes looked around waiting for any sudden movements from the circle of enemies that was before him. John Closed his eyes and began to feel each soldier but he got nothing no emotions or thoughts of any kind. It may have been because of his weakened state or that they had been trained to do so but it didnt matter. He was alone and no one was left to help him against this sith army.

[Jack Of Blades]

John knew he had to regroup and try to find others if he was to have any chance of winning this battle. He waved his hand in front of his face and he disappeared and jumped over the crowd of people and ran to behind a small building out of sight of the soldiers. he reappeared and walked into the shadows and sat down to regain some strength.

[Lord Abel]

Maitthias looks toward Cain with a hatefull face, he draws his lightsaber, and raises his head. He then throws off his cape, to reveal the white robes of an old sith lord. Darth Cain looks at him shocked, as he realizes his oppenet is his on brother Abel.

Darth Abel: "I had him bring you back so i could kill you, I still want my revenge from all those years ago."
Darth Cain: "Foolish talk, Why not join up, we are the two titans?"
Darth Abel: "No...you stole the sith title from me, and killed me. I came back for the longest time, and yet you still tried to kill me, eventually you did, and i came back changed. The whole time i was leader of the jedi, I was planning out my revenge."
Darth Cain: "You would make a perfect apprentice my brother, come on join me."
Darth Abel: "You still don't get it, I had a freind bring you back just so i could kill you...revenge is a sweet thing, and I didn't want to miss out on the chance to get it."
Darth Cain: "Well if there is nothing i can do to change your mind...we must fight, a battle of the titans."

They both ignite there lightsabers at the same time, Abel whos was silver had been changed to red, and Cains, the dule glow of blue. Cain rushes at Abel, and Abel rushes at Cain. They lock sabers right away, and use the force to try to push each other. they both get pushed back, and hit the wall, Abel goes through the wall, but appears shortly back in the room. He rushes to Cain and strikes high, low then in the middle, all of them easily blocked. He then jumps in there air over Cain, doing a flip and a attacking at the same time, Cain jumps up after him and copies Abels move, only to be force pushed into a wall upon landing. When Cain gets up, he runs toward where Abel was, but can't find him. Suddenly Abels lightsaber, strikes at cain from behind, but Cain, sensing it, jumps over it, and throws it into the wall thinking it was abel. Still no sign of Abel, Cain concentrates him focus intirely on the lightsaber, which was fighting harder by itself then when Abel was holding it. suddenly all the lights fall out, and Cain heres abels voice.

Darth Abel: "I see now you are no match for me, I have become far too powerfull for you too beat, after i get my revenge on you, me and Jon striker will rule the galaxy."
Darth Cain: "If you are really so powerfull brother, then why stay in the shadows?"
Darth Abel: "Ha ha ha ha ha....a freind taught me, that not always is bravery rewarded greatly, for you can't reward a dead person. Its a tatic, taught to me by Zilfer...yes i believe you remeber that name, Zilfer of shadows...I have the faintest idea of his whereabouts, or if he is truely alive, but it doesn't matter, i am here for my revenge."

Suddenly the Darkness is sudden light, and Cain finds himself in his long forgotten house where he killed his mother, the house is all torn down, and ransacked with stuff tiped over, and the windows boarded up, the sign no one has lived there for years, suddenly he hears his mothers scream, and the picture flashes to his mother getting killed, as much as he tries, he can't get the picture out of his head, it keeps flashing and flashing over and over again in his head, then the scene goes to when he fought Cal all those years ago in Abels private ship, he sees how ruthlessly he slaughtered his brother. Then the picture flashes to a great beast, Cain not realizing it a memory steps back and cowers on the floor, the beast almost 100 feat tall looks at him closely then pics him up toward his face, when Cain is eye too eye with the beast, he sees Abels eyes, and eventually his whole face. Filled with fear Cain leaps down, and then tries to run. As he is almost stepped on by the beast, the beast dissapears and 50 hississ apear, he ignites his lightsaber, but no beam comes out, he screams at the fact of having to take on the hississ with his bare hands, and then calls out to the force, but it turns away. It goes on for a hour, Cain reliving his greatest fears, with no way to cope with him, until cain lies on the ground dead, by his on fear.

Abel Comes out of the shadows in a perfectly lit room, and goes to check cains body, he finds no signs of life, and even signs worce then death in the corpse, he calls Jon telepathically and tells him that he had finished. Moments later jon appears inside the room beckoning for Abel to follow him....

OOC: waiting for Nexus.....

[Lord Nexus]

Jon Striker: Before we leave, make sure there is no chance. Utterly destroy that body.

Suddenly the body disappeared from the room, the scene switches to see the body of Darth Cain flying into a sun. It is eaten by the giant flames until there is nothing left of the man besides his evil legacy.
They walk into another room that seems to have almost the exact same carvings in the floor, Striker had made them while Abel delt with Cain. There was a gaint circle like before, withen it stood Sith Assassin armor. Then connected to the large circle were two smaller circles, where Striker and Abel would stand. But they needed something else, something of the person. Luckily as Naomi layed sleeping on Yavin 4 Striker had tooked the saber Kumori had given to her, that was placed in a smaller circler inside the large one. Striker looked over to Abel.

Darth Striker: Prepare to witness True Sith Alchemy. The True Power of the Darkside my brother. Concentrait, this will take alot of energy.

Darth Striker motioned for Abel to try and bring the armor to life while Striker contacted the spirit directly, it was agreed upon that the person would be put inside the armor. The lights grew dim as energy flowed from both Striker's hands and Abel's, the lightsaber picked itself up off the floor and flew over by the empty armor. Striker began to grow weak much the same way as Abel did, but it was not finished. A few moments later there was an explosion outside, while Striker and Abel wern't looking the hand of the armor grasped hold of the saber. A few minutes later all the lights blew above them and a dark gray smoke came from the center of the armor, then slowly at first the empty armor began to move. Then it spoke...

Sith Assassin Armor: I have, returned?
Darth Striker: Yes...Lord Nexus...
*Abel is in dis-beliefe*
Lord Nexus: My son...

Lord Nexus walks over to a window and senses another part of himself down there, he breaks the window with his fist and looks out.

Darth Striker: Something wrong my friend?
Lord Nexus: No. Nothing.

Lord Nexus leaps out the window and begins to fall down hundreds of stories until he hits the ground, he lands on one knee and slowly stands up. He begins to walk through the crowds of Sith, they offer him no hesitation. For they can sense the power and fear this one can invoke. Nexus comes upon the body of Darth Dolus, beat up and less then half a man. Nexus rolls Dolus over with his foot and bends down to take his jade colored saber, he holds it in his hand then crushes the hilt having the crystal fall into his hand. He begins to put it into the saber he has now, his orignal Sith Saber. He ignites the blade and it glows yellow, mixing red and green will do that. He puts his blade away as Striker and Abel approch him form behind.

Lord Nexus: Exterminate the Sith. The Gray Jedi will help you in this.

[Lord Nexus]

Withen a matter of hours the Sith Armies have been crushed with ease, all that remained of the Sith were countless sabers strung out across the field of Courscant. Nexus had Revan fire on Kumori's Tower bringing it down to the ground, the Empire was finished. Only through death was Nexus able to conquer his former master and fulfill his vision of a grander galaxy, he saw that the Empire was not the right way. The worlds Kumori had enslaved, those people were set free by Nexus. They had passage to where ever they wanted to go, it seemed a new galaxy was being born. The people wer hesitent at first, it was only natrual to feel this way. Nexus hated what he had become, what he was forced into becoming. He wished that he had a body so that he may feel, live, and breath. Nobody trusted him, who would trust a man in Sith Armor.
He craved a body more then anything he had ever wanted, but he knew it was not to be. It was not his destiny. The three of them governend the galaxy, Nexus, Abel, and Striker. Each one having a few worlds at their fingers. Nexus had chosen the planets the would be assigned to everyone. Lord Nexus chose the worlds, Courscant, Dantoonie, Alderaan, Dagobah, and Yavin 4. Abel was given these worlds, Korriban, Onderon, and Duxn. Striker had what was left in the system, the smaller worlds such as Manaa, Kashyyk, Mustafar.
Nexus had created a new galaxy, one where there was no war, one where there was peace. None of the three were rulers, only Counslers to the New Republic. Suggesting which way votes may be made, never having a direct say. They left themselves in charge of the safety of their worlds, it seemed a true Republic had finally arrived...

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

kysen Jumps forward With his red double bladed saber and it is blocked from virer. Kysen drops to the ground spiraling his blade around him forcing viver to jump. countering viver strikes from above but meets kysens spinning blade as it comes back around. The blades contact eachother with a buss locking into a saber struggle.

[bruinfamer]

Virer pushed Kysen forward and swung his lightsaber that was clung onto his right foot. Kysen blocked it, being confused at Virer's stance. Kysen flipped over Virer and slashed his doublebladed lightsaber at him. Virer stepped to the side and both lightsabers clashed, making a screeching sound.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Kysen*thinking*: if kuragari where to fight him.... his style is none existant but still....

kysen spinnings his blades forcing the lightsabers off and spins with his back to viver and stabs backward which is parried to the right and kysen goes with the motion using the other end of his blade to attack with the motion.

Kysen: the only weakness of this style that i can see is the foot work.... easy to be knocked off balance with the right type of blow...

[bruinfamer]

Virer tried to keep his balance up but then Kysen slashed at his leg and Virer fell to the ground. He rolled to the side and dodged a blow from Kysen. The blow destroyed the blue lightsaber and Virer kicked his golden one to him. He flipped up and he felt a power stir in the Force. He was dazed out for a second and a flash was in front of him and he closed his eyes. He could see the Jedi and Sith exterminated back on Coruscant. Dolus' words rang in his ears.

Avenge Oron. Die with honor

Virer opened his eyes, fire filling the pupils. Trees from around them shook and blasted from their roots and flew towards Kysen. Virer sent statics of Force lightning at Kysen.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Earth springs from the ships hanger interior at kysen and right behind came force lighting....

Kysen cuts the roots swiftly with calculated blows to maximize the siwftness of the blow and ensure that kysen had enough time to deflect the lighting. cutting the last root he spins his blade on his left 2 and then hit right alternating inbetween and deflects the lighting up toward the ceilling of the hanger. Finaly a final spin he slashs down at viver again.

[bruinfamer]

Virer jumps out of the way and and dis-ignites his lightsaber.

"Kysen, it's over. The Sith is destroyed, as is the Jedi. It's over for you."
