Ancient spirits of evil transform this decayed form...

[Manah]

Well if there was one thing Manah hared it was owing favors.
worse still were idiots not repaying theirs.
[member="Darth Novus"] had agreed to teach Mana several things. well more truth fully reteach here several things,
but the fool had died.
Manah paced her tomb.. well it was as it became a testament to the long forgotten past.
her cloning booth had lasted a long time. but disrepair and her.. well why lie? slave had sabotaged hi.. her. attempt at immortality.
still the thing would suffice for it's job
now she had to leave her sanctuary.
the floor was a polished black marble from Hjarnia as were the statues.
the pool in the center was a force Nexus filled with boiling liquid.. it led to a sarcophagus like cloning chamber.

now all she needed was the fool's DNA to clone him.

He had died.

He had been dead for months. His corpse lay rotting in a Utapau sinkhole, lightsaber cast aside after he had killed himself. His head had rolled off to the side, fell into the water. He was broken, bones snapped and fractured. Jardo Snow, Colt, Darth Novus, he had gone by all of those names and now none of them had any meaning. Whenever the word Darth Novus was spoken, it would be related to a dead man, a dead Sith Knight who never held any power. That was never the plan, Darth Novus craved power. He wanted power more than anything, he was willing to slaughter people to gain power. He really, really wanted power. He had craved immortality more than anything, and now he lay dead.

Some use immortality would be.

Manah performed flight checks before heading out. a necessary precaution as while her ship was new. it was a little to new to her.
still Utapatu was a planet she had only heard about. possibly either far to minor or undiscovered in her day.
still the coordinates were set up and keyed in. but once she got there she would have to find the body.
still that needed to wait till she got there.
with that her Malakin took off and exited her tomb on Drezzi

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

Novus was lucky, in a way. Very few people ever made the treck down to the bottom of the sinkholes, which means that luckily for him he lay quite undisturbed. Yes, a few things had begam to eat away at his corpse but other than that his body had been left exactly where it had fallen. He had lost his mask, head and right arm to the water besides him, but he was realtivly unharmed, other than the being dead thing.

Of course.

His weapon of choice, the handcrafted lightsaber had also been lost to the water. He had always liked that weapon, but now he had no use for it. Not that he would ever know that, he couldn't even feel pain anymore. The once thumping heartbeat of the Commenori human lay silent, all the blood having come from the wound dried up and began to be washed away by the water. He wwas lucky still, having stayed on the rocks instead of falling into the water.

That would of been a problem.

His sword was also gone, again lost to the water. He had spent so long alchemising that sword and now it was gone. Before his death he'd promised himself he wouldn't loose any alechmised items, and while he had lost his sword he still had the pendent. It was some use to him now, of course, but it was there to hide the force sensitivity of a dead guy. It was sentemental.

The assassin armour still lay on his ship. Chances are, he would never see it again. Actually, he would never see it again, a downside of being dead. The armour was the one thing he had kept from his prior life. He didn't remember anything before the cliff incident, but the armour would always come with him, he knew that much. He also knew the cliff fall had changed him.

But how much?

[Manah]

As th Malikin made it's way threw the atmosphire of Utapatuto find [member="Darth Novus"] Manah halted the ship in a high altitude and began to Meditate. Novus was a decently powerful sith so his force presence should still be detectable in the Force.
"Got you. 50 km away huh?" she spoke to herself and to her droids.

" Find his ship and pilot it to my tomb. no doubt it will be secure. i will locate the body." she ordered as the Malakin flew close to Nonus's ship.
" Hmm his body is further to the west. .. and down. idiot died in a blasted sink hole didn't he? " she smiled dropping of the twin droids. BD and CC.
piloting the Malakin in to the sink hole.
" Had to die in a ditch disn't you?"

 

[Manah]

The Malikin touched down close to the rancid remains of the sith.
"Why am i doing this? " she asked herself as she exited the ship to find the rotting strips of rancid dried meat
it looked like animals had nested in his corpse squatting down she reached out and bracing the bone she wrenched off his arm.
if anything it was more fun desecrating the corps. she missed being male. [member="Darth Novus"] would soon be resurrected per his request.
tossing the mummified hand in to a bin she took off as the Malakin raced back to the Dark Tomb.

Later

in the black Chamber Manah tossed the bones and scraps in to the Bacta pool letting the dark energy mutated Bacta stripping away and mimicking the Dna the ancient creatures flooded in to the sarcophagus trying to recreate the bone and tissue.
soon the body would be created admittedly it was not an exact science. well it was not even science more a lost dark art.
inside bone was being made and tissue was being created.

Then Manah turned to greet the droids. " do you have his gear? " she asked.
" No Lady Manah. it appears the ship was a Rented vehicle and had been ransacked by local wild life." the Yellow CC said.
" Never the less you were oh use to me go take an oil bath. but make me tea first this wi'll take a few hours. "

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

He would of been glad he couldn't feel anything, glad he was dead. Having a bone ripped from you seemed painful, and Novus would soon learn to be glad that he couldn't feel it. His corpse remained rotting, animals eating it and everything left on it. However, his arm bone would come in somewhat useful. He had made plans prior to his death, not that he would remember them. He had long forgotten the time he had met Darth Manah and made his promise, his memory had been wiped since then.

He sat up. He had died, but he had been reborn. Darth Novus allowed his eyes to drift around the tomb, stopping on Manah slowly. Eyes, that was the important word. When he died, he had been blinded in one eye by a Jedi. Why did he now have two? He stood up, the world looked different. He felt his body softly, looking down. Why was he shorter? He remembered beheading himself, why did he have a head? He had a number of questions, but first he wanted clothes.

He turned back to the lady.

"I assume you are to blame for my revival? No matter, I assume you readied clothes for me?"

[member="Darth Manah"]

 

[Manah]

" Ah [member="Darth Novus"] i see you are awake. would you like some tea? " Mana joked.
" Or should i say welcome back to the land of the living?" she smiled.
looking at the small naked boy woth a snigger.
" DD? CC? please fetch our guest some robes and a cup of tea. " she ordered as she sat casually on a dining chair casually sipping a cup of tea.
" So Lord Novus i assume there are a lot of Questiones please take a seat and i will addres them."

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

Novus took a seat casually, taking a passing glance in a mirror as he stalked past. He looked younger, like a child. He shrugged it off, if he was a child then it wasn't a major problem. Being a child was only a problem when it come to doing "adult" things, he had the force to take care of many of the problems that being a child would cause. He always wished he could look younger, and this appeared to be the easiest way of doing it. He enjoyed the youthful look, it reminded him of someone that wasn't weak and that didn't die, that was the main thing. It reminded him of someone who didn't just die.

He crossed his arms on the table, eyes cutting into the female opposite him. He liked to ignore the fact he was naked, that was easily rectified, easily fixed.

"Who are you? Wny am I a child? What did you do to me?"

Hard to sound intimidating with a child's voice, Novus noted that.

 

[Manah]

looking to [member="Darth Novus"] was fun the man had a sabak face. it not betraying anything.
" Lets say i am a person who was once in a similar position. i assume you do not remember asking me to do this? "
Manah admitted " you came to me asking for me yo locate your corpse if the worse came true. still my servants sabotaged my dark pool. " she indicated the purple bubbling pool.
" As you were warned there were obvious problems. this is not cloning per say more meat droid building. this is a real body not a clone and alas a child " she shrugged apologetically.

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

"Will I age?"

It was the question he wanted the answer to. He wanted to know if he would age, if he would ever become a man again. He crossed his arms as the droids brought him a tunic and trousers, still waiting for an answer to his question. Ageing was important, if he aged he would be taken more seriously than if he didn't. The problem with being young is that you were never taken seriously, with age came power and responsibility.

He changed slowly as his new friend answered his question. The trousers were of perfect size, the tunic a little long and the boots a little big. However, that wasn't the problem. He didn't mind the clothes, they were but temporary to him. He finished changing just as she finished giving an answer, and he glared at her softly. He had an answer, that was all he cared about. He had two more goals to complete, two more plans.

"I require a ship, a pilot and a lightsaber. See to it that I get accomodated. I have my revenge to seek"

[member="Darth Manah"]

 

[Manah]

" Yes. well i hope so. admittedly i am in the same predicament [member="Darth Novus"]. this is an ancient form of cloning long lost to the ether. only you and i know of this. a proverbial fountain of youth. but before you get any ideas .. " well he was a sith it served well to give a warning.
" The Bactics only obey my force presence. others they will eat to the bone. In truth you should age at either a normal or retarded rate. not something most want in a clone. after wall what use is a baby soldier that ages slowly?"
she admitted then looked to the droids.
" Provide my guest all he requires to create a saber and aces to a ship. "

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

Novus offered a smile to Manah. She had been a useful host and he would be sure to repay her someday. Darth Novus stood up softly, eyes still scanning around the tomb. He was a child and it had been confirmed. He didn't hate his savior for it, it was a small problem that would be fixed when he aged. He sigh softly, cracking his knuckles. He needed to forge a weapon, a new tool that he could use to enact his revenge. He needed a new tool full stop.

He followed the droids slowly and carefully.

[member="Darth Manah"]

 

[Manah]

as she and her brother BB " Lord [member="Darth Novus"] The mistress wished for me to give you this. " the small yellow droid said holding up a Pontite Crystal
" Sadly it is not red but the mistress did order us to make your stat comfortable. " CC said as she offered the blue crystal to the Sith.
" As like my sister i regret to inform tat the Tomb has not received any new ships for some time. those stored here are a tad old. im sfraid we only have a shuttle "

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

He took the crystal from the droid, crushing it in his hand. He was a Sith, red was his colour. He wouldn't be seen with a blue blade, not as a Sith. He glared at the droids, flicking his wrist carefully. The male droid flew backwards, crashing against the wall. He was repairable, but Novus had proven a point. He glared at the female droid with anger in his eyes. He admitted that it was hard to look intimidating with a child face, but he tried it anyway.

"Do not tempt me. I want a geological compressor within the hour, or I will do the same to you"

He continued walking into the hanger, grunting. The shuttle he had been supplied wasn't perfect but it would do. Colt glared around, staring at two disabled droids in the corner. He picked them up with the force, placing them aboard the ship. In time he would repair them, but for now they got to lie on the floor of the shuttle. He shook his head, heading back into the corridors and turning into the room he had been supplied.

[member="Darth Novus"]
With a smile Manah followed the droids
"Please do not damage my property. CC and BB they are trying to be helpful. they do not understand the whole Sith thing. " Manah offered the device to the sith lord.
" Bear in mind i have been a gracious host as far as it goes so far."

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

He took the device, unloading it into the corner of the room. It was a large tool but it would be useful to him. He glared at his host, shaking his head. She had been gracious, it was one of the only reasons he'd left the droids repairable. He offered a light smile to his host, sitting in front of the compressor. He had done this before, the creation of snyth crystals was a fun process where Novus would connect with his crystals.

"That is the only reason I left your droids in once peace. Unfortunatly I won't have time to forge this crystals perfectly, which will leave them unstable. They will still serve their purpose for now however."
