DARK LORD OF THE SITH | VOICE OF THE MAW


"Well..."

The sand kicked up as she dug in, halting her advance as Romi Jade Romi Jade now stood face to face with the Dark Lord himself waiting in the moonlight.

“The Force is strong with you, Jade.”

His hand rose upward, folding into a tight fist.

“You could be apart of something greater than the Jedi, than the Sith. The galaxy stands upon the edge of a knife., a Second Genesis is upon us.”

His sulfuric hate cast a terrible glare, his smile so filled with malice and dark grimace slowly faded away into a cold calculating grin.

“Don’t make me destroy you.”

He unclipped his saber from his hip and held it at the ready.

12x Zerek Zenith: Knight Squadron
8x Shen Supa: Lancer Squadron
========================================​
"Multiple hyperspace signatures, Colonel!" The voice from one of the ATCs raised a pitch and Roth spared a glance at his sensors as a large number of sensor readings flared across the sensors. "Disregard- they're X-Wings! Affiliation unidentified."

"Acknowledged, command. If they're X-Wings, they're probably on our side." Roth responded, craning his head to look back through the cockpit. He did almost envy them. That iconic command to lock S-foils into attack position But he had to admit, the Zeniths, a reworked Z-95 had fire in it. Light, maneuverable, able to outrange pretty much any other fighter.

"Knights, peel off and clear the path for the X-Wings," Roth said as he adjusted the comms. "Let them take the first wave of TIEs." He could just make out the dim glows of dozens of TIEs that belched from the battlecruiser that still loomed between them and the planet. Another tap to switch comms.

"Roger that, Storm 1. I prefer my whiskey Corellian, thank you," Roth add lightly, adjusting the targeting algorithm on the computer as it began detecting targets. "Designating lone TIE-D as Target Red, escort as Target Redlings. Anticipating some sort of ace squadron, since they have hyperdrive. High-risk, low initial priority. Lancer Squadron is still aboard ship awaiting the signal."

He let out a low whistle to himself as the X-Wings raced past to engage the TIEs. "Storm 1, Bolt 1, initiating battle meditation. Knights going quiet. Hit us on the comm if you need anything."

"Control, assign strategic priority," Roth said after adjusting the comm channel again. "Knights will move on target." As he waited for the orders, he closed his eyes for a moment and let the energy of the system ripple through his system, before expanding his awareness until his conscious mind seemed almost enveloped by the feeling of durasteel and cold vacuum and the heat of thrusters. Reactors surged and the ripple of laser fire set the hairs on his arms to stand on end.

More importantly, he felt the presences of his squadmates reach out and embrace him as well and join his awareness with theirs.

That's right, Knights. Just like we trained, Roth thought through the link, Loosen up formation a little for long-shots of opportunity. We're not engaging yet. The focus of the meditation was focused on the Wild Knights, be Roth hissed through his teeth in concentration and pushed it a little further out, to Storm Squadron and Bolt One, but that was about as far as he could push it while flying. We've studied the reports on the Alliance fleet. Let's showthem some Starhawks.

That should keep their attention, even if it's just for a few moments and glimpses on the scanners. Let them think the Alliance had Starhawks with stealth fields. That should keep them on their toes. Focus through me.

The meditation sharpened their awareness, held them together, boosted their abilities, as well as their fellow pilots, but it also helped them do this. Sector Nine-Seven. Three Starhawks. Wedge formation.

Roth closed his eyes momentarily and recalled the image from what they had seen on the net and pushed it out on the far side of the Sith flagship, away from their fighters. Three of the massive warships at the edge of the battlespace before they faded away, not that they were there, but the image of them was pressed towards the minds of those unprepared for it. Cameras, sensors, anyone who was not prepared and in the right direction would perhaps see the three warships for those few moments. Roth shook his head to clear it and focused on the meld again.

Good enough for now. Let's cover Storm's flank on the rear. He guided his fighter around as the mass dogfight erupted between the massive ship and the small flotilla. His targeting computer flashed through targets, but he only paid it half a mind, letting instinct and feel and nearly three decades of flying guide his motions.

His meditation wasn't overly powerful, concentrated and certainly couldn't affect the entire fleet, let alone the entire planet, but the fighters would notice it to a small extent, and those particularly sensitive in the Force would likely be able to feel its presence- not the usual feel of a Jedi's meditation, but Roth's own brazen, joyous defiance like the sound of distant horns.

The Crimson Linings were true as elite as advertised. Their natural abilities, and instincts combined with their apparent hatred of those who they might once have fought alongside make them a destructive force that greater numbers mean little in regards to results. There was a time that an X-wing was more than a match for a TIE fighter, but these were not those times, the SJDF pilots were great at what they did, almost making their pilots extensions of themselves, but they had their work cut out for them. By the time the NC-1000’s were in the fight (approximately 45 seconds later), almost a dozen NC-1’s from different squadrons were either damaged or lost.

Ashera fighters throttled up and got into the fight as well, and the Azaezal’s began to fly cover. This was going to be a fight.

” Alert-5”

The Jackal pilots were itching to get into the fight and were getting their chance. Once launched, their orders were simple…

” Dance with the girl that brought you…”

Use the capabilities of their fighters to either take out, or divert Maw fighters so that Allied ships can destroy them.

” Let the ArchAngels do their thing. Show some Sovereignty.”

The Long Range fighters were still in combat patrols, but once the heavy assault fighters launched, they paired up and screamed towards the capital ships. The fighters were engaged, it was their turn to “play”. The enemy ships now had a choice. Turn their attention to those going after the larger ships and forget the fighters engaging them, or let the attackers run roughshod over ships like “The Prophet”.

"Move us in... get the long guns ready as well as the defensive turrets."

  1. 11 NC-1 X-wings damaged or destroyed.
  2. NC-1000s now engaging
  3. Jackal fighters jumping in, firing on anything and everything
  4. Asheras engaging Maw fighters
  5. Azaezal and Sovereignty fighters making a run at the Maw capital ships
  6. Ethereal and Silver City moving into heavy gun range.

The sounding of bellows and cries among the beasts never went unnoticed. Every pained screech - every howl in suffering - reverberated through the Force in crippled echoes. Acid coated the walls in green waves of destruction, exposing the rapid capacity of erosion as the elements withered quickly away. The last standing Xenomorphs halted, suddenly obsidian statues mounted along the walls and floor like eldritch decor. The only signification of their continued lifeforce expressed in curled, flapping lips and obnoxious strands of thick saliva descending from bearing teeth. Their master had brought them to a standstill, though not out of fear. The way of the Sith often demanded sacrifice; the results he had obtained in their deaths so far were sufficient. Now those that fell could die, perhaps never knowing that they had served a purpose most beneficial.

But the Sith Lord had other means for those which remained.

Rather than continue to fight her, the last four suddenly darted into the vents and shaft, disappearing from sight. The Sith let the Dark Side move over him, carrying his mind far beyond the presence within his vehicle, plunging him deep into the bowels of that great pit of the Enclave. Darkness came of his vision, but soon enough it was brushed away, with a mass gathering itself behind the woman. A black pool bubbled and boiled into shape along the floor, and a dark host crept up from the shadowy matter, draped in dark wisps which cast obscurity over all its features. It made no attempt to conceal itself, allowing the Dark Side to flow freely from its midnight guise. It bore no aspects or resemblance to anything living, save for its humanoid form of which the darkness had chose to take shape. Its face was but a shadow: an impenetrable void of dense blackness, of which no light could escape.

Words, disembodied, cold, teeming with the strength of the Dark Side, sounded from everywhere but itself.

"You. . . cannot contain yourself within this sanctuary forever. Soon enough it will become a tomb, and all those buried within it will be lost to the ages. Should you choose to accept that fact and escape its inevitable doom, I will be waiting."


Meanwhile among the surface

The last crate hissed away from its seals, spilling a wave of white mist out across the tides of Jakku's sands. Its four external panels unfolded, collapsing onto the sand bed with simultaneous thuds. What dwelt among its central panel appeared nothing more than inanimate eggs, aligned perfectly in two rows of six, glazed by moisture trickling down the organic shells. Another hiss escaped, and suddenly the egg sacs crept open, pulling four petals away from its crown. The eggs stirred in their upright positions; vague movements rushed beneath the translucent shells. In the end, what came of the such movements were a rushing menace quickly lunging out onto the desert floor. The creatures scurried away from their shells, following the essence of life wherever it might have existed within their reach. Some sought to descend through the turbolift, using any gap and crevice to help guide their way down. But there were others that had felt the presence of life ever closer, along with the Dark Side which showed promise to help them claim it.

“You could be apart of something greater than the Jedi, than the Sith. The galaxy stands upon the edge of a knife., a Second Genesis is upon us.”

Bleh

Her disinterest was evident--her eyes were rolling--she mocked him with a clasping motion of her fingers. "Oh please." She dismissed him. "As clever as you are, you chose to open with that? -- from the looks of it, destroying me was already on your list." She shot back.

"I'll have to admit Solipsis-or is it Kaigann?" Her head lurched forward, followed by stray locs. "When we first met, I could hardly take you serious. I thought you all just a band of simple raiders led by a wannabe. Now, I've dealt with some Sith...you were not anywhere near that...but look at you now!" She teased.

She swayed in her stance at the shift of her weight, propping a hand up on her waist. "Planting seeds...masterminding it up, finding hidden academies, radiating dark energy--it's bad for your skin by the way--and what you're doing to the NJO...You're a snake."

The two stood an stared for a long while it seemed, neither blinking, the test of wills.

Hiss-crack!

Romi Thumbed her lightsaber to life, splashing a ferocious red along the jagged threads of sand.

She jabbed her lightsaber toward Solipsis. "It's my fault you've made it this far, Cedric couldn't finish you off...but I will."

She went with a balanced two-handed guard: holding her saber vertically with both palms, on the right side of her body. Her blonde hair shone with iridescent highlights as it lashed from one shoulder to another. Her blue eyes blazed with another sort of light, one that matched the feral snarl on her face -- almost a blissfulness, that spoke of an intimacy with violence; it was almost like life itself for Jade.

There were a dozen questions Romi would have liked to ask Kaigann. What was the story between him and Cedric?

"Many abandon who they have become and their place in the web that is the Force when fear strikes, then the dread they feel severs those final connections and they're just left to die. As long as I’m fighting, I’m not dying."

'Thick-headed.'

The insult was internalized, heard only in the recesses of her own mind, but there was an expression of clear distaste all but plastered across her face. Words, phrases even, could be taken so many different ways but she hardly ever expected anyone to misunderstand something so clear, paired with contextual clues, as her admitting to having not been trying at all. The kick struck her, an opening that had been opened for the prize of striking him with the electrical footwork she'd been working towards, and she gasped, audibly, while she staggered back. If not for that, had he not taken every last chance he had, she likely would've done precisely what he was so clearly trying to prevent and cut him down.

She was done with the stall, Darth Solipsis Darth Solipsis had found his target and there were others that were similarly skilled to Romi Jade Romi Jade lingering about that she wasn't keen on giving her peers the chance to claim for their own - the Shi'ido fought for entertainment as much as she fought for a final goal, it just so happened that those two things generally intersected at some point. Standing here trading words and tossing lightning and fire back at each other like a game of catch with Starlin Rand Starlin Rand , however, was not providing her with an avenue towards either interest.

"No," She said, stressing the word to imply there was more she meant to follow it with, as she lifted her lightsaber and caught the green energy within her red blade. "I wasn't trying - putting forth effort." Vesta explained while she directed her lightsaber towards the ground and discharged the energy trapped within it nearly harmlessly -except, she supposed, to the floor itself - and shifted her weight towards her front to bolster the forward momentum that followed. It was as if she'd taken three steps in the single push-off from the ground that she'd made with force-enhanced speed accelerating her towards Rand, that simple tilt forwards, as inelegant as it was, deceivingly efficient in setting the tempo to their renewed duel.

She hadn't forgotten that the man had two lightsabers, of course, which was precisely why she adopted a very clear form now - as opposed to the haphazard approach she'd been giving him beforehand - in the way of Juyo. There was no order in her movement, no fluidity - every step a staccato, and with her first thrust, full of physical force, she was rotating counter to the direction of the blade to slide away from the echo of another that her third-sight gave her a short glimpse of, anticipating the second blade at her opening. There was no movement wasted, even the slight bend of her knees mid-turn had its purpose, as she adopted an approach that was pure, raw, aggression.

Like a living storm.

The kick did the trick and kept her from cutting him down, but Starlin was in bad shape. His body was burned. His muscles ached. His movements were jerky as he barely defended himself, afflicted with spasms. His good eye was twitching, and his mouth was filled with blood.

It splattered when he spoke.

Then I guess you probably think—that you’re beyond saving,” he rasped, narrowly avoiding her aggressive swinging. Her lightsaber gouged into the wall where he had once stood, leaving scorch marks behind. “Just because you were born a Sith, raised as a Sith, and appear to be some sort of weird Sith alchemical abomination unleashed as a blight upon all life—

He ducked below a thrust, dancing out of her reach. It always felt pretty weird, bringing up the whole redemption thing in the middle of a fight where he was ostensibly trying to kill the person he was also attempting to redeem, but hey. He tried.

Sometimes.

Whenever possible.

In this case, however, it was mainly a ploy while he edged his way toward the nearby turbolift and, hopefully, out of the duel. Oh, he'd have stayed longer if he could, but in his present state it just wasn't happening. He could barely feel his legs anymore, and his arms were getting more noodly by the second. Pretty soon she was going to feel like she was fighting one of those inflatable tube man things outside of speeder dealerships.

The lift was to his left. While he waited for it to arrive, he fished around for something clever to say, and decided to make something out of her Darth name. “Well… Death be not proud, because anybody can stop being dumb long enough to stop following Sith teachings.

… Yeah, he was definitely in bad shape.

The banality of evil, baby.” He slid into the opening lift doors and slapped the button, calling out to her through the gap as the doors closed, “Look it up!

DARK LORD OF THE SITH | VOICE OF THE MAW


“..or is it Kaigann?”

That word garnered his complete undivided attention, where he had merely been passing through the motions, beginning the works of a sick game it was evident now that she would have none of it.

And that was alright by him.

“I see you’ve remembered my name, but Kaigann died along time ago. I killed him. Like how I’ll kill you.

His tightened fist was released into the wind in gesture, his eyes so full of malice carefully dissecting Romi Jade Romi Jade like a cadaver. She was no more a person to him, than another object or obstacle that could impede or aid his Grand Plan.

“I have to admit you’ve become an increasingly troublesome gnat since the day we first set foot on Jakku, back then I had to continue with a low profile, one you and my nephew almost shredded before I could burrow deep.”

The New Jedi Order, the Galactic Senate, the people of Epoch. Just a short list of names on the list of those affected by his machinations, such was the great game he played, if one was to correct the great errors of the galaxy one must wield a strong hand.

“It’s your connection to my nephew, that bond, it is the only reason I even humor the thought of breaking you. I sense darkness within you, you’ve touched it, walked the line even.”

The two stared off in a battle of wills, a contest of personality between the Light and the Dark.

Snap-hiss

His crimson saber hissed forth from it’s yorik coral hilt, activated in response to her own brandished weapon springing to life before him. She initiated with a jab, maintaining an effective two handed guard as she plunged her weapon forward. The Dark Lord stepped to the side, intercepting her weapon with his own just as it narrowly missed his being. He adjusted his hips and leaned in from the side to try and interlock the two weapons ever so briefly before disengaging.

The Dark Lord of the Sith snarled with a tease, “We’ll see.”

She held her weapon at the ready, vertically balanced within her hands. The Elder let his back foot deepen into the sand, springing forth with the inertia of Djem-So. He brought his weapon from downlow to up high in a powerful arc swung diagonally at her guard. If given the chance, he’d swing again. Attempting to burrow his blade into her flesh or break her guard

“As long as I’m fighting, I’m not dying."
“All in due time.”

Solipsis said:
“It’s your connection to my nephew, that bond, it is the only reason I even humor the thought of breaking you. I sense darkness within you, you’ve touched it, walked the line even.”

Romi's breath stopped instantly.

Her stare grew colder in reaction; there were things she kept locked away that she wasn't proud of. Despite having to live tainted by something that was completely against her will, made her realize that every day was a chance at being better. These experiences....made her who she was and there weren't many who had the will to go through it themselves--least of all alone.

Her memory surfed through flashes: becoming Grandmaster and running away, being tortured and injected with Sith poison, the destruction of the Deneba Enclave, Mon Cala where she was converted, her time as a Shadowhand...and finally being made a Master

She said nothing, holding her tongue behind pursed lips. Though knowing Romi, there was a raging wave of curses behind that mouth she would've released, but there was nothing else worth saying anyway.

She knew who she was now.

He swung a hammer blow through the air with raging intensity, raining down on her scarlet blade--crack!--the sound was like thunder reverberating from the core of their clash that was met by her parrying his blade. Giving a bit in her forearm, half way through she thumbed her weapon off. She evasively sidestepped, dancing around his much larger frame, and all that now imbalanced forward momentum of his.

They shifted from defense to attack.

Just as their pacing slowed, Romi used the physical momentum of her evasion to target her game from the side. She rolled around on her right hip, then came around, slashing wide and level with an oblate sphere of scarlet energy that suddenly protruded once again from her hilt; she had deftly thumbed the switch calling her saber back to life. Her blade sprinted through the air for the Dark Lord, weaving a path of killing energy in a fast exchange.

With sweat pasting locks of hair to her cheeks...she was surrendering to the Force and to chaos.

Equipment: Staff of Dakrul, Cursed Gen'Dai Flesh Armour

ChVAW7n_d.webp

As flesh, bones, and sinew set themselves back into place the hulking monstrosity took shape, six armed and oddly postured Dakrul once again grew to his full size. Bits and pieces of flesh eerily missing. He was entirely lacking a right leg from his knees down, in its stead a fledging pinkish terrifyingly intertwined spirals of tendrils. Moving organelles substituting the rest of his foot. Chunks of his chest and lumps of his appendages were gone revealing the freakish hollow bone structure of the insectoid.

With the other Hungering abolished by the explosion, it was up to him to kill the young Jedi with his blue eyes. Jared Starchaser Jared Starchaser would be offered to the greatness of the Avatars, to be swallowed by the maw of the apocalypse. Another flickering candle drowned out, another light silenced.

He would ignore the illusion of the misguided Caltin Vanagor Caltin Vanagor , the younglings had been slain by his hand and these patsy magic tricks wouldn't work on him anyhow, his vision of the world was much different, these silhouettes of light meant nothing.

“Enough of this.” the youngster before him hissed.

Dakrul knew enough basic to understand the guardian's meaning. With his staff cast aside by the explosion, and no dread blades on him, the sithspawn atrocity would attempt to slay his opponent in direct one-to-one combat. As the frightful killer advanced he once again reached out into the mind of his prey. This time he would not prie, he would not seek an opening no, this time he would create one. A booming screeching sound screamed into the boy's head. Like an earthquake, it sought to shatter his mind, shake his balance, put a crack in the foundations of his connection to the force.

At the same time, he was countered by the light the brown-haired humanoid called upon, it wasn't enough to severe his occult bond but it was enough to burn, to sizzle his essence, to cook it in the heat of the ashla. But not enough to halt his onslaught, not enough to drive him off. He would cull this little flame, extinguish it and watch its essence dissipate into the Nether at sundown.

The terrifying fiend marched forward to pounce on the defender. Again moving in an arachnid fashion crawling forwards even on his ruptured feet to attack. Simutasiosly the dark spears called forth by Halketh Halketh rushed into existence manifested by shadows and catapulted themselves at the hopefully startled Jedi.

He would have to deal with both Darth's projectiles and an advance of the crazed murdering mutant and his sound-based assault.

Meanwhile, his thrall were feasting on the corpses of the dead. The fleeing Jedis had put up a fight, it hadn't been long but they had struggled. From all over the galaxy they had pilgrimaged here to defend the few spare lives raised and protected in this secret bunker of hope. All that was now shattered, disembodied and its blood and gore spilled. The spoils of war for the victors, The Hungering were feeding, intaking the living force energies of the light-bearers, it was necessary, its juices would fester their soul, power that would run through their emptied veins again. It was the key to their permanent binding onto this place.

The pack would harvest their flesh, licking the sinews of the cadavers, leaving nothing but bones and skulls behind.
 
Be careful what you wish for.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRANCE

“Hello, old friend.” A familiar voice “awoke” him in the ether. Only he was not awake. Looking around, Caltin knew who it was immediately. It was the Force Ghost of his long-time mentor and childhood protector. The former Padawan to his grandfather. Ian Miller.

Ian… I never thought that I would see you again.

The ghost just shook what would be his head as he smiled himself.

“I have no idea as to why I am here, my friend. I am glad that I am though. Your grandfather, your father, they would be proud.”

He nodded, understanding that was not why he was who he was, for the gratification of others, but for himself. Still, it was inspiring and nice to hear.

It’s good to see you. Though I cannot for the life of me understand why it is now.

He laughed as the ghost looked around and shrugged. “There’s something that you’re lost on. The question is, what?”

Caltin just shook his head as he looked off into the clouds.

I don’t know. I’m trying to figure out how to save all of…

Ian stopped him. “That’s it right there…”

What?

“Old friend. You’ve never learned how to accept that you cannot save everyone.” If he could touch him, Ian would be patting Caltin on the back right now.

Weren’t you the one who once told me that we should aspire to save all who we can…

It was right then and there that the big guy finally realized what his former mentor was saying, was truly saying.

... we should always... try… because when we try we do not fail.[/I]

It was a sad smile that the ghost allowed to creep across his face, but an honest one.

“You’ll never save them all, but keep trying to do so.”

Thank you, my friend. Will I ever see you again?

Ian just smiled as he slowly disappeared.

“We'll see what the Force brings.”

What if I needed your counsel again?

In his final words, Ian gave his best advice.

"... you never did."


COMING OUT OF THE TRANCE

ldwUzSs.png

It was true, Caltin was too late for some of them…

… but not all.

Those who were still alive and still “there”, only three or four of them, would experience it, but the massive Jedi Master went to an ability that was quickly becoming his “go-to”. Those younglings who were being attacked that could still fight off Dakrul’s minions’ effects would be struck by bolts of lightning for their efforts, those few that he could see anyway as they were spread out across the wing and facility in itself. As noble as it could be considered, this was not to put them out of their misery but to give them the energy, almost “his strength” in a manner of speaking to fight off the maladies coming with what was being done to them. Soon they would be fighting alongside the big guy, soon.

Right now, he had the others to contend with. ”Elohai” was in Dakrul’s back at the moment, at least he thought it was. That didn’t matter right now as the massive Jedi Master had “Eloah” coming to his hand. Those who had the hunger were about to feast on the blade of his lightsaber. He would provide them with all the sustenance that they needed. This was not “killing” or “murder”, for they were already dead. This was ending the suffering that they went through once and for all and putting them at one with the Force.

These undead followers may not have asked for this existence, but they will ask to leave it.

For each undead warrior he was ready to cut down, Caltin moved a little faster. Not because of some desire to stop those he was not near. No, the big guy wanted to look at those responsible for this that much faster. It looked like Dakrul was going after Jared, the young Starchasers seemed capable enough and if his lineage was any indication, he would be fine, so that meant that the massive Jedi Master had one that he was now targeting, Halketh Halketh .

He could see it, plain as day. The Dark Lord was carrying crystal-laden gauntlets. Well, now was the time to show him that Caltin had one as well. The Toraynor-Henkan clipped to the back of his belt and web gear was acting as makeshift back support up until now, but now it would cover his non-weapon hand and enhanced his own abilities. The aura of peace he emanated was not meant for the Sith, no, they would just laugh. It was meant for the other Jedi, Master, Knight, and Padawan alike. They may be able to create their own, but a little help never hurt. The aura of light and in turn light wall? Those were not meant to last very long, but long enough to burn into the retina of the Sith and throw those that could see it off balance.

It was when he was face to face with Caelitus that he said simply…

Leave... now.

Caltin knew that Caelitus would take his warning as flippantly as a bird singing in the morning. The big guy just didn't want him complaining that he didn't get one.
[/I]
... YET THE DAWN ALWAYS COMES.

Before Allyson could quip something back, she felt her face turn white, seeing how he unhinged his jaw like a snake. Slithering out from the recesses, shot out the man’s tongue. Allyson quickly moved to dip under the whip attack. This definitely wasn’t the same Kyrel she had in her dossiers. He had lost all humanity, abandoned it whether by choice or by coercion. Either way, Allyson couldn’t let him get to where he was headed. Whatever was going on with him could be contagious.

Of all the Sith, she had to run into this guy. Falling out of the Force cloak, she danced around the ceiling support beams dodging the tongue attack. His inhuman cry making her ears ring, and she stopped as the tongue shot by her, nearly cutting her cheek.

Frustration built up, and she looked at him and roared back at him. “RAWWRRAFAHHHHHHHAAAGGGHHHH!!!!” Allyson adjusted her collar as she brushed back a few loose strands of her brunette hair. “Yeah, well, I’m Allyson Locke. Is this the part where you tell me you’re some bringer of death and you never eat, never sleep, and never stop--?” The beam shook, and Allyson quickly realized what he was doing. The tongue was a distraction, and now she was going to get crushed from the framework of the building. “Chit.” She jumped down, trying to figure something out to stop him.

It was made apparent that the light arrows were just scratching the surface; nothing was slowing him down. Abandoning the bow as she stood, the Corellian whipped out a hail mary, a shotgun. As she landed, she tumbled forward, avoiding any debris that followed her. The ceiling continued to fall, but she continued on and used her momentum to slide towards him. The slide allowed her a second to take aim and fire 3 rounds of the shotgun into him as she passed. Impetus be damned, she quickly stood up and disappeared once more into the Force.
 
The one part of being a wayseeker, being a Jedi without the full bounds of reporting to the Council, was that you found a new balance within the Force, a new standing in the Light. Jared was a Jedi through and through, his father was, he was, he learned from other Jedi-adjacent groups. Darkness was there, it was created by
light, but what else darkness did, it made light stand more vividly, more brilliantly.

More concentrated.

More pure.

There was a focus on the Force to his side, Master Vanagor going at it, healing the wounds within himself. The pure focus of the Light, a skill his father was mastering, But Jared was a fighter, he could heal when this was over. His body was shaken but not broken, as he stood, as the light burst from his hand, and his saber in hand he made the move, pushing his body, not in a way to lose himself, he was just able to recognize the injuries and push them to the back of his mind, the back of his physical body. While doing this, it was tying him into the Force. It was an approach called the Unrelenting Sea, and allowed a Jedi practitioner to push themselves harder in the Force.

As the spears of darkness, of corruption, Jared had no choice but to hurl his lightsaber forward, and pull on the Force, to lift barriers in front of himself and Master Vanagor, a power that was as familiar to him as breathing. Brilliant shimmering power of the Force slammed down before Jared, rocking the very bedrock and walls of the temple to intercept the corruption and after a beat, Jared used both hands to add the Force behind what he was doing and slammed the two barriers towards the Sith before him, intent on slamming them both with kinetic power, stone and metal bending with the barriers, carving off part of the wall to add to the impact.

If pleading from Quinn Varanin Quinn Varanin hadn't managed to sway her from a path towards total self-destruction then there was absolutely no chance in the nine Corellian hells that some comedically insulting lines from some man she was actively trying to kill without a shred of emotional attachment to might convince her to pivot entirely towards the light. It was, in a way, the thing she found most infuriating about the Jedi - the thing this man most represented to her wasn't some boring and unskilled mook she didn't want to waste her time trading blows with, he was the structure, the order, that failed to examine the reasons behind the darkness they tried so hard to undermine and eliminate.

There wasn't any prevention, only treatment.

Cancers, such as herself, could not be rooted out through something as laughable as a petition towards her humanity - humanity which she had been denied by the very same organization that vilified her, that, with two heads in disagreement, argued simultaneously that she could walk a brighter path while also demanding her destruction for her manner of birth and parentage. There was no attempt to see the nuances in her life that led her down that road, a road she was firmly set on and that was far too late to her to depart from without catastrophic consequences, and no attempt to learn from the things that created the evil they saw her as today. Reckless incompetence, judgmental dismissals, and blind obedience to dogma was all she could see, all she could hear.

Her temper flared and she could feel that he was being worn down by the steady movement of their duel throughout the space they'd occupied until they reached the lift once more - he escaping inside while she watched. She couldn't deny that there was a budding degree of skill there, in him, by virtue of his ability to narrowly evade a fate that was certain to be death had he not made his decision to make for the lift when he had, assuming he didn't run into any other Sith on the other end of the turbolift, but she didn't quite care much for what happened to him the moments following so much so as she cared about the fact that her goal was now clearly within reach without him to pester her for attention.

Deep within these enclave walls were other Jedi, Jedi that were not as prepared as Rand had been for a Sith lord to appear - Jedi that were not yet grown, not yet capable of standing on their own; a threat not yet realized. Though she had hated the stories of the old Empire, of the rise of Darth Sidious or of the infamous Darth Vader, for their role in inspiring so many to emulate their pathetic vision of an empire the galaxy over, there was one story of that time she most thoroughly agreed with - the murder of the younglings during the purge. "Without a future there is no hope to save the present." She muttered to herself as she turned from the turbolift, lightsaber withdrawing into the hilt held tightly in her right hand. Deep within her the jaws that would consume life like one would food begged to be opened, and she quite nearly obliged. This, however, would be murder - it would be made personal.

Perhaps Rand thought her banal, normal except in the corruption of her deeds - that perhaps she was simply ignorant to the evils she was committing, or at least otherwise unaware or unfeeling towards the distress she might cause. A momentary recollection of Rhand, of devouring so many lives and the very intentional, very emotional, and deliberate decision to force another to watch in horror dismissed that notion before she gave it further thought, choosing instead to march onwards towards the depths of the structure. She didn't intervene in the fights that had broken out around her, that carried on further in; she didn't care whether Jared Starchaser Jared Starchaser survived or if Dakrul Dakrul managed to achieve some nebulous glory, whether Halketh Halketh was successful in killing Caltin Vanagor Caltin Vanagor and very much disagreed with the stereotypical arrogance of Sith belief in indoctrinating the enemy's youth, and further beyond she was unconcerned with the results of the fight between Romi Jade Romi Jade or Darth Solipsis Darth Solipsis - she had one single goal in mind.

To eradicate the youth, deprive the galaxy of its hope.

And, thus far, there was no one to stop her.

Vaylin’s attack never managed to reach the intended target. Instead, she stopped on a dime, boots digging into the sand as she saw the Sith’s rebuttal of Arlo’s attack. The spear however did not budge as much as either the Sith or Zabrak had anticipated.

A beat passed, and Vaylin realized her mistake.

She lunged forwards, intent on landing her attack again on the Loth Wolf. But the beast hopped back, retreating to the shadows and out of the battle. Vaylin let out an annoyed growl, turning her attention to the Sith solely.

Now being more up close to the man, she noticed the pitch black eyes, the same that the wolf had. The pieces clicked in Vaylin’s mind, and she glanced towards where the beast watched from. A beastmaster?

If the two had a bond, then it meant a shared connection had formed. The Sith had a second pair of eyes to watch his back, to alert him of any attacks towards his blindspots.

The desire to chase down the wolf burned within Vaylin. But she knew it was a likely foolish endeavour. The wolf would just keep retreating, drawing her further away from the battle at hand. Vaylin grumbled, turning her attention fully towards Senthral.

"Watch your backs."

Vaylin turned her head slightly, glancing to see a Xenomorph charging towards Ishani. The blonde woman had dived out of the way, but the Sithspawn continued its rush. The Zabrak turned around fully, ready to meet it head on. Until Ishani charged at it, missing but ultimately managing to draw its attention to her.

She turned back around to the fight between Senthral and Arlo. Although, before she went to rejoin it she paused. The Zabrak took note of the crates that were now littered around the sandy battlefield. She hadn’t paid attention to their deployment, but there was no missing the white mist that poured out.

From this distance, Vaylin couldn’t identify what had departed from the crates. Just that something, several of them in fact, were now scurrying across the ground.

Watch the sand, the enemy has deployed something!

Vaylin gripped her blades and charged towards the Sith. However, as she drew closer she caught something in the corner of her eye. One of the smaller creatures was gunning straight towards her. The moment it was a fair distance to her it leaped, its thin scraggy legs fanning out ready to latch onto its target.

She glared at the creature, turning and thrusting her inflamed sword out. The little monstrosity appeared to have no means to alter its flight path, as it landed squarely through the tip of the Zabrak’s blade. It hissed and writhed in pain as the fire burned it. Vaylin growled, flicking her blade to the side, tossing the dying creature to the sand.

Appearance, Neutral Presence in the Force

And it seemed the Sith determined survival and dispersion of his four remaining creatures was better than sending them into the literal meat slicer of her floating lightsaber. The creatures fled or were commanded to disengage, escaping into ventilation shafts to go deeper into the enclave, to lurk and wait for prey no doubt. Above, she sensed similar lifeforms of the adults awakening. Lovely, releasing the parasite vector to potentially infect and spread more of their number elsewhere, perhaps even establish a nest in the enclave to make it a uninhabitable by this sect of Jedi.

She recalled the lightsaber to her hand, bringing the spinning of the blades to a halt with another touch of her mind. She felt the pooling of the dark side, the sending of presence through the Force to her location. As it formed, she took the time to walk over to the remains, bending down to examine them in closer detail. In the corner of her eye, she kept track of the shadows forming into a humanoid shape bereft of features. Such a basic sorcery.

The words spoken by the sending echoed around the halls, taunting and promising that this place would soon be a tomb. And then the challenge to her personally, to escape and come to him. She had to fight the urge to smile. She would like nothing better than to confront this Sith and properly... instruct him.

"Why wait then?" she responded, standing up but not turning to face the spectral shadows. She followed his presence through the currents of the Force, using his sending as one anchor point and just following the line of dark power back to its source on the surface. Her form dissipated into the same purple mist that brought her into that corridor, her form traveling through the Force along the path of darkness she had staked out from the Sith to reform a few yards away from him.

"We have so much to talk about," she finished.

All was almost too much of a flurry, but Senthral had been taught to keep up with these things well. Never was there a dull moment in battle, and even if you faced one or maybe three, you need by ready all the same. So as the blows came forth, he only just managed a defensive, catching each blow on his 'saber and getting pushed back. Though in each blow he felt challenge, this man might have thought him weak without his sorcery, oh how that angered Senthral.

He responded by taking up his blade with greater will than before, and returning those attacks on a returned offensive now. With the last strike he brought his blade up and caught the man's weapon in a clinch. For what seemed like a mere second he let free both hands and just managed to hold the clinch with his right arm, throwing a fist to clobber the man on the side of the head with his left hand.

His anger was not only used to feel strength flow through him in battle though, focus grew in the Dark Side. He felt the flows that threatened to take his allies from him, he would not allow a Jedi to overpower him in the Dark. Hatred for the Jedi woman at the very thought flowed through him like fire to a forest. It was all channeled to counter her through the Force.


'KILL HER! Your brother rises, together now, KILL HER!'

The xenomorph was still his to control, and he had to have these beasts fighting for him if he wanted to handle a three on one. He needed BOTH beasts. The xenomorph corpse had risen, held together by some Dark Side Necromancy, one he had been taught by his Master, Darth Tennacus, and one he would use well. It let out some screech, far more otherworldy than even the one it had owned in it's horrifying life. It staggered first, then came to a speedy trot, and then bolted in a charge at the Jedi woman.

"You will all realize how at fault you are, so hasty to underestimate me! Where I was once a Jedi Master, I am now a Sith Apprentice, and you think me weaker for it? Your ignorance will cost you your lives. So open your eyes Light-Blinded. Caution yourselves."
The parasitic assistance that flowed in after those words seemed to reinforce them. Although, they were his Master's work. No matter, their strength was a shared one at times, and in the oddest of ways. The fruits of their individual labors would bear forth for the both till death did them part.

Spear and saber locked together, one grinding the other. Arlo began to reach out with the Force, trying to disrupt Senthral’s connection, destroy the Sith’s battle focus...

Arlo suddenly saw stars as Senthral clobbered him. Then he saw red. The punch to the side of his head sent him staggering backward, his own focus lost.

Watch the sand, the enemy has deployed something!

Arlo regained his footing just in time for a facehugger to leap at him. He impaled the monstrosity on the sharp end of his spear, flinging it away. There were dozens more in the sands around him, searching for prey.

Baring his teeth, Arlo resumed his fight against Senthral. His spear swung toward the Sith’s legs, trying to knock Senthral’s feet out from under him. Failing or succeeding that, Arlo thrust the sharp end toward Senthral’s neck, then lowered to thrust in under his left arm, in a blow that would pierce his heart...

Not far from the site of the duel, Ishani felt the Xenomorph’s mind rebelling against her. She tightened her grasp on its mind like a noose around a condemned man’s neck, until its mind shattered under the pressure.

The undead Xeno’s ghastly howling was met with a crazed ululation from the one Ishani had broken. Let’s call him Steve. Steve barreled forward, gnashing his teeth, attacking everything in sight in a wild fervor.

Ishani needed only to stay out of Steve’s way to evade his wrath. Just as well, since she was currently dealing with her own crop of facehuggers.

One managed to get through her defense, fingerlike appendages wrapping around her head, pulling her towards its central maw for a very much unwanted kiss. She knew then what the purpose of these things was, and what it was trying to do to her.

Her lightsaber flashed, slicing through the bony fingers clasped around her head. The thing lost its grip, falling to the ground. Blood and bile and knocked out teeth spewed from Ishani’s mouth. Eyes gleaming bright, flesh burned by acid, clothes hanging in filthy tatters from her small frame, she looked like a monstrosity herself as she sliced through the abominations with renewed vigor. How in the hell she was still alive was anyone’s guess, but there wasn’t much keeping her going now besides pain and rage.

It might have come at further shock to him to see her manifest on board his ship had he not so openly hinted towards it. However, his eyes were fixed on Jakku's surface, expecting her to whip up through the sands like some desert serpent. With a hand clutched around the ceiling rail above the extended rear ramp, the Sith Lord turned at the sounding of the estranged woman, conjured through an intriguing knowledge of the Force.

Against what he had seen - what he had felt - her demeanour failed to carry about it the same aggression his beasts had been forced to endure; however, he was not as foolish as to predict her on face-value. What he had felt compared to how he now saw might have opposed his expectations, but he was not unwise as to underestimate anyone. Caution came at a cost as much as he came with benefit. No one survived in that Galaxy without some hint of cautious methods regarding the likes of others - most certainly the Sith. His eyes moved over her in a brief pause, attempting to reach out to the Force to better understand her nature. The patterned breaths emanating from the vents of his respirator suggested some sense of confidence or content, as portrayed in the way his eyes seemed to watch her with little emphasis to concern.

"Indeed we do," Tennacus answered, his tone monotonous. Beneath the fabric of his grey tailcoat, his lightsaber shrouded itself in the Force - strictly in the event that he would need it, of course. Another cautious behavioural aspect on his part. "I hoped to see a Jedi stand amongst me, but I get the feeling you do not carry yourself in the light will full intent. If I am accurate in my beliefs, what motivated you to strike my swarm?"


Back on the surface

The scurrying beasts knew little above what their instincts demanded, and that was to deploy an embryo yearning for growth. Those that had found their way into the Enclave descended through any menial cavity they could explore, using the deceptive vents to find themselves suitable hosts. But there were still those that favoured the sands, of which one had suffered at the expense of its own undoing, incapable of moving as discretely as its kin. Vaylin Vaylin made quick work of its execution, forcing the others to consider their approach.

Two of them clawed beneath the desert sands to submerge themselves beyond sight, moving beneath the surface until they could sprout teasingly beneath the heat of the sun, contemplating how they might approach. One targeted Vaylin Vaylin from behind, lunging suddenly from the grains to wrap its tail around her neck. The one which targeted Ishani Dinn Ishani Dinn decided to lunge from the front, propelling itself out of the ground with digits bloomed like merciless petals to try and ensnare her within its grip iron grip.

DARK LORD OF THE SITH | VOICE OF THE MAW



The cold stare, the breathless moment fueled with passion, intensity, and vivid memory. What secrets did she have crawling within her skull?

He had gotten close once, so so close before she and Aaran Tafo Aaran Tafo slipped from his grasp, aided by his nephew Cedric Grayson Cedric Grayson and his own nephew Mikhail Grayson Mikhail Grayson . An intense battle, a sonic wave crashing against his ears from the voice of Romi Jade Romi Jade and that moment was gone. Fleeting had been the opportunity, such secrets may never surface after this day. Not if his blade struck true.

His crimson blade crashed down, cutting a swath through the air with crackling power behind it’s swing. Plasma rushed to meet plasma, the Force behind his weapon ruptured a thunderous crack as it met her scarlet saber in defense. He pressed against her form, a brief saberlock that fell apart with ease at the touch of a button. The Jedi Master deactivated her saber and shifted her body, the Dark Lord pressed forward unwittingly falling prey to inertia as his own body betrayed him.

The Jedi sidestepped and rolled with the momentum, even as the Dark Lord thrashed after her in the seconds to follow. He straighten his posture immediately as he caught his footing, his preternatural senses flooding his awareness from danger. The Sith Lord cast a wide overarching swing horizontally as he forced his body to spin with his saber outstretched. The two blades clashed together once more, scarlet and bright crimson meeting in a duel of fates as he narrowly intercepted her weapon just in the knick of time.

The Elder grit his teeth, he pressed against the Jedi’s blade with dark grimace on his face. Where a mere moment ago he had owned the offensive he quickly had found himself switching to a defensive play as the momentum switched. He had to take it back and end this.

“Give in to your hatred. It is the only way to defeat me. The only way to stop all that I will do.”

He pressed off against he blade and stepped back, falling back into a Djem So stance. The Dark Lord advanced, first with an underhanded swing then followed through with an over handed arch down in one fluid motion.
