For the new to come, the old must go.

Corellian Sector. A high-rise district for glittering casinos along with trendy hotspots with their glowing neon-coloured signs. Vyctora strolled out from one of the many nightclubs that littered the district. Ever since her master disappeared many years ago without a trace, she has taken to drinking in the evenings to cope with being alone once again.

She then took a taxi to the glitzy & extravagant Promenade district, which boasted a wide variety of boutiques, casinos and high-end shopping hot spots. She took a leisurely stroll, mildly intoxicated from all the drinking earlier, and as she made her back to the site of old home in New Vertica, she walked past several cheery looking families doing their shopping.She snorted in disgust as she came across parents coddling their children, and excited children laughing. She hated these "perfect families". Cursing her parents, she continued heading towards the intersection near her home.

Perhaps one day, she would get over it, but it is not now. If fate was good, she would find a new master soon, and get her life back on track.

It was not hard to find the place.

One little apartment of a Rogue Sith. Apparently this place was once the home of the man I was sent to track down. He was seen here a few times, but then never returned one day. Leaving a woman alone. The One Sith had kept tabs on him, and as a bounty Hunter, I was tracked to find him, or the girl and either bring them back, or kill them. I doubt that I would have to kill the old man because he was fairly old, and it's not like hunting down Sith was all that hard. Tapping on the main desk, I showed the clerk a hologram of the man I was looking for, I could hear the door behind me, but didn't care. Quickly, I shut off the hologram,

"Yes, I would like a room to sleep in for the night." When the man didn't answer fast enough, I smacked my hand on the table, "Well come on! Hurry up! I don't have all day to try and do my job if I don't have a place to stay." The Clerk suddenly scared by the sudden change in my reaction, handed me a card key. "Thank you.... pig."

Home sweet home.

"It's been years since I've been back here, but it still somehow feels the same."
Vyctora muttered to herself as she stood at the entrance of the building.

She gently pulled open the door, stepped in, letting the door shut on its own. She noticed a commotion as approached the reception counter where the lazy clerk usually sat at. She heard a bang, followed by a raised male voice in an irritated tone. She took a glance at the counter, and came into eye contact with a young black haired man. Vyctora stopped in her tracks as she was momentarily entranced by his fiery red eyes, before she looked away, face still flushed from her intoxication earlier.

"There better be a goddamn bed and breakfast as well." I said turning around. And that's when I stopped. A raven haired woman was standing there. While I was not entranced by her look, it was clear that she was a rather beautiful girl. Body that was nicely formed, and one that Hunter, would have called, "A looker" because you just have to look not just a second time, but a fourth or even a fifth time to get your fill of the girl's appearance. As I looked to her, the redness in her face boiled up to reach "critical levels" as Hunter would say again. Meaning they had seen something that was rather eye catching.

While to most I may have looked like some nerf herder that really should be dead, others could find me rater nice. Deciding to star the conversation, I walked over with a sly smile, "Can I help you miss? Or is there something I did wrong?"

There was always something to blame me for. I mean, Good looks? yep. Long flowing hair? check. Reformed body that looked rather "Hawt?" Ding-a-ling. So which one was it this time?

"Your eyes, I've seen plenty of red ones, but yours seem to have something different I can't describe." Vyctora noted.She then pointed a slender finger over to the flustered clerk."He's pretty useless.Always has been, always will be." She smirked as said that."Are you here for anything? Perhaps I can help you. I'm familiar with the area." Her lips curling into a slight smile as she said that.

[member="Nickolas Imura"]

 

[Garza]

My eyes. Plenty of red ones. Meaning either she hung out with a lot of Chiss, or simply those who were allied with the Sith, or the Dark Side. Already I knew that there was an aura that I could trust her, However, how much of that trust is there? Still having the sly smile on my face, I nodded my head to her comment of my eyes. Ever since I had accepted the fact that I was of the Dark Side, my eyes had been changing to a red. Some told me that when I was angry they seemed to brighten as though a fire was being stoked. Others told me that when I was paying attention to detail, my eyes seemed to darken. I would just have to believe them with their words.

"So I am told. Bright eyes tend to attract others." She then turned her attention to the clerk. Pointing to him as though she knew who he was and how he acted. I turned for a second to look at the man as he cowered somewhat from my gaze. I shook my head as I returned to her. Saying that she knew the area around here. I nodded my head as she offered to help.

"I have noticed that, and yes, I am looking for someone. You might have seen him. A Sith, always wearing a Mask, hiding his name from others, and he recently just left." I had a feeling that she might know. I reached into my jacket to grab a holo. Activating it to show a Sith Lord that went rogue a while back. "He took under his wing an apprentice. I am looking for one or both of them." I knew that she would know them, because this was the last place that both of them had been seen. I was just questioning if she had seen them. Even better if she was the apprentice.

Vyctora's eyes widened in shock, as she glanced at the figure on the mysterious man's holo. That looked strikingly similar to figure she knew as her first master. She had heard no word of him, since he went missing several years ago. She had began to think he was dead, or had left her. And what was he doing around here? He had no business being here. Or was it just someone else who had just taken up her supposedly dead master's belongings and impersonating him?

Vyctora looked up at the man and mentioned " I know this figure. Or at least I think I do. He looks very similar to my first master who went missing many years ago. He always wore a mask and never once told his name, so I have no idea what he looked like under his mask though. I had believed he was dead. I don't know his true name either, as I was just told to call him master." Caught in the moment, she tipped her down down slightly, sighing. "It's been so long, and I've made some progress of putting his disappearance behind me."

[Garza]

She was the apprentice. Well, possibly. She stated that the man looked familiar, but could not be too sure. Hell even I could be her master for all she knew. I nodded my head as I put the holo up. I nodded my head. "Since he may be your master, you wouldn't mind if I asked you a few questions about you and him?" I turned my head slightly as I asked. Raising my left eye brow in a question. Should she say no, I would have to look elsewhere. Or track her every movement. Which I did not have time for. If she said yes, then it would make my job so much easier.

"I ask because I am looking for this man. He was once an asset to the One Sith. Now that he is gone, we have been trying to look for him." I really did not want to mention the fact that if I could not turn them in somehow, then I would be force do kill either the master, or both of them. The young woman apprentice may have some of the information that should not be leaked out. If that was the case, then it was my job to kill her. If not, her death will be one of the other trillions of deaths made in the name of the Dark Lord.

Vyctora looked at him questioningly before saying "I wouldn't mind. But I would have to tell you, I do not know much about him at all. He did not reveal any of his plans, not his whereabouts." He merely introduced me to the dark side, and taught me techniques of using a saber, and as well as harnessing my force to be used as a weapon. My training wasn't even completed before he disappeared, to who knows where."

Putting on a determined face, she also mentioned " I've been looking for a master, since he left, a more permanent one this time, and a proper one this time, without all that secrecy. Unfortunately, it is proving to be very difficult with what little people I know and the exposure I have to Siths." As she finished her sentence,her determined face gradually faded into one of a more sombre nature.

 

[Garza]

Wow

Was she making my job easy or what? She said that she would answer some questions, though she wouldn't know all that much. Continuing to speak about also looking for a new master. Something that was more permanent. Nodding my head, to her, I motioned for us to go into the elevator. "As of now, I can't help you with a master. What I can do, is ask you to come to the room I just got so we can talk more in private if need be." I wanted for us to be alone so 1) information would not be leaked out. 2) evaluate her for the Sith, and finally 3) evaluate her to see if I would take her as my apprentice.

You see, what I needed was someone to train. For a long time I have been training, and helping others with skills, but I never had a full on apprentice. Yes I took part times in my past, but they moved back and forth between sides. I wanted something more permanent as well. Someone who would work with me, as well as stay with me. While they would train with what ever skills they wished. "Tell me, What is your name miss?"

The raven-haired man gestured for me to enter the elevator, mentioning that he needed a more private place for further discussions. I had no objections with that as it seemed like that busybody of a clerk seemed to be trying his best to eavesdrop. As we entered the lift, he proceeded to ask for my name. I told him my name with a mischievous smile on my face. "I'm Vyctora Romanov." "And who might you be?"

 

[Garza]

Vyctora looked at me as she spoke her name. I smiled to her ever so slightly. Yes she was a very pretty girl, but likely under age, and I am not single. So playing seducing tricks will not really work here. I might lead her on to believe that I am interested in her, bu- Oh what the hell am I thinking? Of course I like her. Do you even see her body? Only Godly creations look so fine! "Nick Imura." Stating my name back to her so we could talk on a more personal level as well. "Can you tell me what your Master was like?" I waved my hand a little as I spoke next, "Just general ideas on who he is. Finding Sith that look and act the same is rather common."

[member="Vyctora Romanov"]

 

[Catherine Romanov]

[member="Nickolas Imura"]

Nick Imura. The man's name was Nick. Vyctora pondered over that as he asked his next question. "What was my former master like?" I paused before continuing. "Well, not much of anything apparently. For all the time I've spent him, I've never once seen him in the flesh, nor did he ever say anything about who he was or anything about his life. He just offered to train me, and that was it. He always had his hood & mask on. He could even be a sentient robot for all I know!"

"He used to contact me by a holo-pad communicator, and told me to procede to the training area, which was an abandoned warehouse somewhere in the Corellian sector. That was it. We went by like that for a several years until he just went missing and stopped contacting me."

 

[Garza]

Contact through holopad. Which means there is a trace on the datapad that he used, and the signals that were sent. Nodding my head to her, I looked up at the elevator numbers as they went up. The ding sound came and I held my arm open for Vyctora to leave first. Sometimes I was a gentlemen. "Do you still have the datapad that you were contacted with? If so, you wouldn't mind if I took it for evidence?" I asked her to be more polite. if needed I could get a warrant to grab it from her as it was an investigation. Or just kill her and take it. But I kind of like this girl. She was hiding something. I just needed to find out about it.

Stopping at the door for the room, I swiped the key and opened the door, allowing the Sith apprentice to walk in first. "Anything else you can tell me about him? like the weapons he used or the way he taught you? Some Sith have specific ways of teaching and fighting. So if anything it would narrow the pool of people who are always wearing masks."

Nick asked if I still had the holo-pad. I extricated it from my pocket before handing it over to him reluctantly. I had no doubts that he could have taken it from me even if I didn't want to give it to me anyway. "Anyway I've tried contacting him countless times, and none of them have met with any response whatsoever so far." All of a sudden, he looked older and stronger. "He used a double-bladed saber or a a saber staff." I said as I patted the hilt of my own at my belt.

 

[Garza]

Taking the datapad from her, She mentioned that he used a double bladed lightsaber for his lightsaber use. I smiled and nodded my head. "Good choice of a weapon." I opened my jacket just a little to reveal two lightsabers one was a single bladed knight ranked lightsaber, and the second was a lightsaber staff. A double bladed lightsaber that could be separated into two. "I would know." Letting my jacket fall back towards my side, I put the datapad up.

"So he just up and left you? If you are looking for a Master, I might be able to help you find one."

[member="Vyctora Romanov"]

 

[Catherine Romanov]

Another double-bladed saber user. "Not many of us around are there?" I remarked, as I saw the concealed sabers inside his jacket. "Yup, I've been trying to find a new master, something more permanent this time, someone I would be able to bond with, and complete my apprentice stage with. But finding one is proving to be very difficult. Finding one skilled in the use of a saber staff even more so." As my face filled with excitement & enthusiasm, I said " Any help would be great."

 

[Garza]

I nodded to her comment of not finding alot of people who could use a saberstaff correctly. While others had trained in the use of a master, I had to learn to use one on my own. That was a feat in of itself. "Yes quite hard." Speaking to her, she would gladly accept my help, I nodded to her once, "What is it that you want to be trained in? There are many, many different things you can do."

This is looking good. Maybe I might be able to get a real permanent master after all. It is looking to be a great night indeed. I replied
"So would you be my master? I have only got the basic saber staff handling techniques mastered, and only a few force powers right now, I'll also like to be guided further down into the dark side. I aim to rid the galaxy of the jedi menace, one jedi at a time."

 

[Garza]

I smiled a little. She wanted me to be her master. As well as end the Jedi ruling over the Galaxy. "Smart ideas, however, what have the Jedi done to you to make you hate them?" You see, you can be a Sith without a reason. If you didn't, then you were nothing more than a Dark Jedi. I also wanted to see how smart she was. What her abilities were. "No need to answer. Just keep it in mind." my hands opened up towards myself. "What is your skill set Miss Vyctora? Assassin? Berserker? Sorcreress? , or my favorite, a Seductress?"
