"Good. We'll need all the help we can get." I nodded.

OOC:Hello, Chro'. Nice tah see ya again. You reach 2,000, I see.

BIC:

"Yes."

OOC: Well, I do try. Heard Doom was victorious, quite pleasing ;)

OOC: Well, I do try. Heard Doom was victorious, quite pleasing ;)

OOC:Not really, after a long battle I withdrew. Could send you the link if I can find it so you can decide.

OOC: Yo, got MSN, Yafor?

Far from them, upon the dark world of Drummond Kaas, surrounded by is followers, sat Chronos, as though deep in meditation, his mind delving through eternity, seeking those like him, those who felt the pull of the Force. His fell essence passed like a chill wind across planet and void, ever hungry. And his disciples fuelled him, fed his rampant hunger, fed his tyrannous will. He touched minds and hearts and then moved onward, seeking worthy opponents, before he sensed the bloodline....The Masaki's.
He chuckled lightly, and told his spies to watch closely, to tighten the grip. He would move soon to see them himself. Yes, he would see them...
Alex felt the wisdom of the Force speak to him, and his eyes suddenly flew open. "Chronos."

"Chronosia's Primarch Dark Lord of the Sith?" Armas asked, also returning to reality.

"The one and only. Soon, he will make his next move." Alex tapped his fingers together as he sat back in thought. "Daniel and even young Kelvin will have their work cut out for them should he attack personally."

"Troubling." Master Elendil said. "Soloran fought him once, almost lost."

"I know, I read the report." Alex sighed. "Well, there's nothing to do about it but fight back when the time comes."

Fingers curled about an ornately crafted sabre beneath an obsidian sky, lips curled into a wry smile; as the Master sent forht his mind, flying from the Masaki's. His other hand touched his flesh, teasing fingers across ancient scars, and chuckling lightly, as he sought out that which he desired.
"Soloran...."
A hiss across time and space, as the Dark Master sought out his old foe, and sent a second message forth.
"The time draws near, make yourselves known in Naboo. A mere dozen of you shall attack in full force, the rest shall make themselves known more...vocally. You have your vocations, let the skies rain fire and blood. On my mark."

Yavin IV...
Xavier Soloran was teaching telekinetic tricks to the newest crop of youngsters when he felt the hiss of an old foe from thousands of light-years away.
"Chronos..." He whispered, narrowing his eyes.

"Master? Something wrong?" Little Sammy asked.

"No, Sam, nothing's wrong. Continue your training, class." Soloran said, and headed out calmly as if getting a drink. In reality, he's concerned now that his old foe is about to strike, but where?

"Tell me old friend...Do you remember the ancient legends? Do you remember the Valley of the Jedi and the secrets of ancient lore? Do you remember Korriban and its tombs? Or Yavin and its Temples? And do you remember me...Your shadow?" He chuckled wryly. "The Old ways fade, Coreworlds is a mere slave to the Empire. I offer a chance for freedom. Fight willingly at my side, and we can sunder bondage...And start over again"

Fight willingly at my side, and we can sunder bondage...And start over again"
"Only to be enslaved by another force of evil? I think not." Xavier muttered.

"Is that how you see it? Truly a shame...When the first blows are struck, I know your side will take advantage. But you need not aid me willingly, for your freedom will be guaranteed. I only hope, you do not become caught in the crossfire. My power has grown, my mind has expanded a thousand fold since that time we fought, my mind has developed, my body gained strength, adapted...I am ready"

"Intruging." Xavier closed off connections. So, he will definitely strike soon...only where and when is the question.

"Thats not good...." Narthaus said. He had been quite for a long time sensing something dark in the universe, it was powerful though. "Very interesting." Narthaus thought to himself. He then pulled out a metal fork and flung it at a wall. BOIIIIING! The noise resounded around the house, Narthaus said, "I'll be back, Im going down into the forest! Don't touch the forks, they have a purpose." He slowly began to travel down into the forest around the house, and every few steps threw a fork into the ground....

When Narthaus returned, I asked him a question. "What were you doing there, Master?"

When Narthaus returned, I asked him a question. "What were you doing there, Master?"
"Let me show you." He said as he used the force choke on Daniel, a clearly dark and evil power. The forks began to vibrate with great loudness. Narthaus let out a huge "Aughhh" noise, as the sound began to get in his head, and he lost his concentration and let Daniel go. "Sorry if that hurt a little, just thought it would be good if you expierenced it first hand."

"Sorry if that hurt a little, just thought it would be good if you expierenced it first hand."
I was surprised and began to use the Force to break off the choke, but then Narthaus stopped. I was also rubbing my forehead from the sound when I brought up the Force. "That was nifty. So you're going to block Darksiders from using the Dark Side here?"

I could see a downside: it would probably put a crimp on my lightning powers here. I'd have to resort to hand-seals if I wanted to use lightning, to bring out the inner chakra energy.

It was a lonely planet, floating beyond the outermost fringes of the galaxy, sunless and hopeless. A thick black mist flowed from the planet, trailing to nothingness in a tail behind the planet as it moved through the murky void. The planet seemed to be eroding into nothingness, its constituent matter being torn away and apart.

It once supported life, but now all it held was rock, mist, and a single bringer of death.

He stood upon a degrading rock face, staring into the sky through the mist, unhindered by the murky darkness. His bladed hands hung at his sides, still as a statue. He wore a voluminous red-and-black overshirt made of some strange otherworldly material, covering all but the tips of his talons. His legs were covered with a strange form of plate armor of the purest black hue. His slicked-back ebon hair flowed down half of his back, and his deep red eyes pierced into the darkness.

Like his father.

Sojun had given his first son the majority of his own physical traits, which only served to deepen the wound caused by what happened to the poor soul.

The mind that looked through Obsidian's eyes was no longer his own, having been suppressed and overridden by an Avatar of the Otherness. He looked out upon the galaxy watching the stars, and the other pinpoints of light splayed out across the vast expanse.

He watched as so many pinpoints of light flooded toward the one that he KNEW was the supposed 'Brother'... and noticed that the Whelps had deigned to move as well.

He uttered a single little noise, nothing more than a short growl, and vanished.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kelvin sat in a small chair, eyes closed, with the pendant draped around his neck. Hundreds of voices flowed through his mind, but he was happy to say that the voices were much more manageable now, after having focused his concentration on controlling the input as best as possible.

Suddenly, out of the morass of intertwining voices came a pair of words, bursting into his mind like an avalanche. He knew the voice as soon as he heard it.

Aries...

HE MOVES.

Kelvin didn't even pause to wonder what the two words meant. His gaze shifted immediately skyward, and he saw it. The strange glow he knew to be his brother... wasn't where it should have been. It had moved a good quarter circuit across the sky.

"Oh," Kelvin said, staring at the warped glow's new position. He stood up, the voices from the pendant now fallen completely silent.

"SHIT."

He bolted away from his meditation spot, hoping to find Masaki. "MISTER MASAKI! MISTER MASAKI! HE IS MOVING! MY BROTHER IS MOVING!"

Narthaus looked up as Kelvin ran into the room, and Auron said "Stay calm. Prepare for his arrival."

I stopped. "Your brother? Damn."

The twins were pretty scared, and I had to calm them down with a calming technique. Not that I was very calm myself. This was going to be bad. Real bad.

"I do not understand... when I issued the challenge he did not even fluctuate. For all intents and purposes he was dormant. What has happened? Has something occurred? Father assured me that my brother would remain dormant for a long time to come... I needed that time! Why is he moving? I do not understand..."

"You know, there was that other darkness that began showing up." I said. "Chaos. Perhaps he's trying to move against them or something?"

As Stardust drifted toward the surface, Gorteth saw the the group he followed zoom off in a taxi. Landing next to the shuttle, he unloaded a scooter (looks kind of like a flying shopping cart with rocket engines) and shot after them.

A short time later, he arrived.

"What did I miss? Something important, it sounds like..."

"Hey, look, a flying shopping cart!" Taylor said when Gorteth arrived, breaking the tension slightly, and his brothers managed to laugh.

"Didn't miss much now." I smiled.

"He has not moved against them before now," Kelvin said, focused still on trying to understand this new predicament. "He would only move if... Mister Masaki, if the agents of Chaos come, we must deal with them QUICKLY."

He turned to Gorteth and grinned. "Oh... uh... hey."

"Greetings." the robot replied, with a slight bow.

"I gather that there is a problem..."

"My brother... he is moving. He is the reason I issued the challenge..."

Kelvin's grin turned haunted.

"Training."

"That sounds exciting."
A knife twirled in Gorteth's fingers.
"I get a rather strong impression that this is not just a family matter." he added, gesturing toward the others with his free hand.

OOC: Yo, got MSN, Yafor?

OOC:Nahh, it's a pity, only got YIM.

BIC:

"So he's coming. Good....we'll be waiting for him." Jacob said, with a slight grin.

Narthaus got up and popped open his bracer panel and hit a few buttons. He began to speak to it, "We need help over here HK, Lauren." A familiar voice came back through, "Is it against more meatbags master? It would be a pleasure!" A less know voice came through, but still could be known as a droid, "Sounds like you will need my tactical services master, I am at your will." Then a femine voice came through,"Sounds interesting Narthaus, we'll be there in a jip!" Narthaus closed the Panel bracer.

He turned back around and said, "Well, thats all of my merrie men! Unless you want to start drawing out of the Klingtonian army, which the goddamn Sith would disapprove of." *Sigh*

"The Godulans have been sending troops to Klington ever since the war ended. You know that, I know that. Those smuggling operations your government sends our way do not return empty handed. Even now the estimates are sitting at around fifteen thousand M'Lekk'Torr Special Forces walking the streets of your homeworld, watching, plotting, and preparing. They only await the proper time.

"The Archons are never ones to abandon allies.

"But back to the situation at hand. It is imperative that none of you engages my brother. He is powerful. Far more powerful than anything you have ever imagined, even you, Narthaus. The glow of his force aura dwarfs even mine, and I am the stronger of the two of us in the force. He will KILL all of you if he feels the need or the want. Chances are very much in favor of me not being able to stop him either."

"Understood. We'll leave him to you." I nodded. "Our first priority are the dudes we can beat, the Chaos Jedi."

"I'll be careful to avoid getting in the way, then. It sounds like you'll need everything you can get to prevent distractions, though. I know of a couple fighters that would probably help, and could probably get here in time to be useful. Shall I contact them?"

The Sith assassins moved silently through the woods near the Masaki house, hiding their presence and thoughts; while in the midst of the town, others went about sinister business, plotting something, something to set the whole planet on edge, something to send a very audible message to the Masaki's and all others who Chronos had deemed worthy...

The Twins wandered outside to watch the clouds roll overhead on the lawn. They laid down and pointed out objects the clouds have taken the shape of, seemingly oblivious to the coming danger...

The Sith came forward, sliding from the Shadows of the woods, their weapons ready, as they heard the silent call.
"Now..."
In the midst of the city, the Sith sacrificed themselves in pulse and fire; weapons went off in their small, self contained apartments, apartments which bordered others....which bordered buildings and streets. At that same moment, the red blades flashed into violent life, and the Sith surged forward, still silent, but now, with renewed purpose.

"Shall I contact them?"
*waits for an answer*

The sight of smoke soon rose into the air, and a distinct rumble of thunder-like sound rolled over the mansion.

I began sensing a disturbance in the Force. "There's death in the air. They've begun. Call those fighters, now!"

---

The twins had their back to the Sith and felt something funny behind them. But they were rather close to the forest, and well, the Sith were moving too quickly to reach much...

The blades flashed as the Sith drove them forward towards the Twins, the dozen surging forward almost like one entity, guided by a far off conciousness. Others had already died for their cause, and now they would slay or spill blood for their great Master. Darkness and death would rule this day, and then....Then Chronos would play his great hand.

The twins saw their deaths in the first two Sith that struck, as they brought their lightsabers up, just a bit too slow. Taylor was decapitated and Jacob was severed at the waist, and they fell to the ground in pieces...and disappeared in a puff of white smoke? When the smoke cleared, four logs were in their place, the real items that were cut in two. They've used Kawarmi no Jutsu, the Body-substitution skill!

The twins weren't oblivious after all, and reappeared behind their would-be killers to strike them down with crimson (Taylor) and yellow-green (Jacob) blades!

Kelvin bolted out of the room, for the twelve Chaos Sith outside, lightswords erupting from his knees, elbows, and hands, and funneling a massive surge into his speed, actually causing a sonic boom as he lunged at the closest enemy, a dervish of whirling prismatic blades and force pulses. At the same time, he slammed the Sith knights with a telepathic message stronge enough to seem as though he had just put a jet engine right up to their collective ears:

This is for your own good! Flee while you still can! You may still live!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, over Naboo, a strange dark mist began to emerge seemingly from nowhere, dimming the sun with increasing strength as more of the mist appeared and began to... take shape... into something

"We will die if it is our Masters will!" They screamed, hurling themselves into the fray even as their bopdies were cut and rent; their blood spilling from countless wounds as they fight, fighting to the death and beyond....To suffer and to serve; to inflict pain and recieve...

I followed Kelvin with a teleport, then sought out the Sith commander of this deadly dozen. I made for who seemed to be the strongest guy in the Force, and engaged him with my electric-blue lightsaber. It's my primary tactic to go after the commanders, since without a chain of command, the rest are easier to deal with in the confusion.

"Wonderful. Distractions."
An energy sword appeared in one hand; the other shifted into a Narvok blast rifle. A moment later, Gorteth joined the battle, filling the air with max-power stun bolts.

OOC:Time to bring on my most powerful privateer, a Jedi-trained, maniac!! Hahahaha...sorry.

BIC:

Jordan's eyes were full on the screen. Guiding the Saracen quickly, he began to land. He had been trained in all of this and a fight with Chaos was just what he wanted. Time to represent both his training and his country.

Landing, he alighted from the ship, to see a massive conflict raging about him. Putting on his turqoise lightsaber, which he hadn't used in while, he lept into the fray, running at the toughest looking enemy.

Your master is weak! Short-Sighted! It does not see the horror that moves to attack!

Kelvin ripped and tore and shredded to the utmost of his abilities. Not because of hatred or malice, but because of desperation...

Flee! Even now he amasses! Can you not see?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The mist was taking on a definite shape now, and beginning to spread across the planet. Blotting out the sun in an unexplainable eclipse.

Kelvin's fighting became more and more frenzied with each passing moment, attempting to ignore a strange whisper that floated lazily into the minds of the Chaos Sith, Kelvin, indeed all the force-capable people on Naboo. A voice as melodic as it was intrinsically horrifying, as if thousands of spells and chants were being woven with each passing word:

I REMAIN...

Far from the slaughter of the faithful, a dark craft set out for Drummond Kaas. The Jedi had underestimated his foresight, underestimated his grand design. Now, one of them must die, one must suffer.
His master had plans for the Empire, and the destinies of every being in galaxy would fear. The Black Crusade would rage still, a great plan would be enacted...And this new era in itself would begin.
As the craft jetted through the void, towards Yavin, hidden by the considerable power of Chronos, he knew it would begin here.
With his first great strike; the Dark Side Wars would begin.

OOC:Is the Black Crusade still going?

OOC: Yes...;)

OOC: This'll prolly complicate it somewhat then... The Otherness is Arrived.

I PERSIST... >arrogant whelps!< I SURVIVE... >you were a mistake, and we shall end you!< I EXIST...

The dark misty thing over the atmosphere of Naboo reached down, towards the Chaos Sith that had decided to 'Harvest' in the city near the Masaki residence, coalescing on the way down, the wisps slammed at each Sith with prodigious tentacles made almost entirely of scything blades, screaming mouths, and taunting eyes.

And towards the great Melee between the Chaos Sith and Kelvin's forces, a single entity, nothing more than a child himself, entered the atmosphere, grinning with sadistic glee...

I spotted another powerful nova in the Force, and so did my brothers. "What the hell?!"

This one was slightly weaker than Kelvin, but much darker, like an evil cloud or something. That must be Obsidian.

Xavier Soloran felt the foe come near, and knew that he was in a fight for his life. He travelled further away from the academy, letting Master Rydo know that he'll be gone a while and reached a clearing some miles away to await him.

The pod thundered from the skies, crashing into the earth, driving a deep scar into the clearing, as the smoking hulk of metal lay, sliding open to reveal its dark occupant. Clad in the black garb of his order, his body mutilated with surgeries and blessings of the Machine God; his face dark and brooding, staring out in malice from the shadow of his hood.
"We meet again, Jedi..."

Clad in the black garb of his order, his body mutilated with surgeries and blessings of the Machine God; his face dark and brooding, staring out in malice from the shadow of his hood.
"We meet again, Jedi..."
"So we have, Chronos." Xavier said. "This time, things will be different."

Narthaus and Auron stepped out when they felt the two evil presences arrive. Narthaus pulled out a blue lightsaber and pointed it at the dark jedi "Chronies."
"It appears battle rules the day once again. Sweet, sweet battle." He said to himself, he then more specifically pointed it at the enemy, his eyes narrowed like a eagles as the opening in the helment slowly began to close to reveal a full helm with a scanner in the eyes, Narthaus than said, "Your mine!"

Oddly enough, despite the fury of his initial entry, the final seconds of Obsidian's descent were nothing short of a lazy drift downwards. He set down on the tip of his right foot, like an elegant dancer, he stood there, on one leg, arms straight out and pointing at two of the meleeing Chaos Sith.

Chaos... we know of you... arrogant whelps. You were a mistake, above all the other mistakes of this universe. If anything needs correcting it is you lackeys and your Chaos Gods.

His eyes pinged with a strange radiance, and he brought his other foot down. Rearing back, his mouth opened in what should have been an agonizing screech of awe-inspiring terror. However, all that issued forth was a strange sound akin to what one might hear when a whistle travels beyond the human auditory capacity.

This alone would likely have had no other effect than possibly making some of the victims laugh, if Kelvin hadn't stopped dead in the middle of the melee and bolted for cover.

A strange shockwave pulsed out from Obsidian, engulfing everything within a five-hundred yard radius like an expanding bubble of warped space. Then, as if somebody had banged a gong the size of a planet, a massive pulse of crushing force slammed into everyone and everything in the bubble, like a giant concussion bomb.

As the sound and bubble faded, Obsidian stood in the center of it all, cackling gleefully.

"Ow." Slamming into a couple of trees would ruin anyone's day. I groaned, and checked myself over. I'm just glad I had training with Narthaus, or else I would have been more than likely dead. As it is, when I made a Force Wall to block the concussion blow, it still slammed into me like a speeder truck going sixty knots. I focused on my cuts and bruises, healing them as I staggered back up. Where are the twins?

"Daniel, over here!" Jacob yelled. The boys were ok, blasted into some other trees! Huh, looks like their speed-training paid off, as they 'ported right before the shockwave hit. Still got themselves smacked around, though less severe than mine.

"That was powerful." Taylor smiled crookedly. "I wonder if I could learn that..."

"Taylor!" I admonished, but in truth, I think he does have the potential, being a Masaki. The concussion wave flattened trees for several hundred meters around, leaving a plain in it's place. Something like a Nova Bolt could do that too, with the thunder shockwave. Hold on...I think I just discovered a way to induce a new move into my already-considerable arsenal! Now if we just survive long enough to implement it...

The blast sent Gorteth flying like tin can, but the MX was extremely durable, and sustained no major damage.
I'm guessing that's Kelvin's brother. he thought, getting to his feet.

Narthaus was caught under a pile of debris from the house, he was lucky that his battle suit had a built in phaser shield. He stood up as all the debris fell off of him. "Looks like we'll have to remove your tounge, young one." He said as he pointed at Obsidian.

The Red Blades of his sabers burst into life, as Chronos strode forward. "Long have I remembered the wounds you gave me, the lessons taught in pain. Since then I have watched your order, made and unmade under the Empire. And now you profit, you grow, like rats fed upon filth. Vermin" He chuckled. "I am worshipped as a God, an avatar of the living Force. I am my Father's son. I am merely eclipsed by his glory, for his is a greatness that knows no bounds. He has plans for the Galaxy. For the Jedi, even for the Empire that counts him as a Member. His prescience has glimpsed the fractured future. He has seen what shall pass...He has seen potential futures, made and unmade. He shall precipitate a war to sunder all before it....The War of the Dark Side has begun by MY will. But he shall bring the galaxy to its knees" He chuckled, a wryly mocking darkness.
"I offer you one chance; join me. Shatter the Galactic Empire and bring the ancient Sith Lords, those who destroyed Juria...Those who enslaved countless. Reject, and I shall kill you; your essence shall feed my own...And then I shall raze your academy to the ground. So many young souls...So ripe, so innocent. Perhaps I won't kill them all, perhaps if they were to be turned..."
He sneered, taunting his foe, as he readied for combat. "What Sith they would make..."

"Hold it, Master." I warned him. "If I'm not mistaken, that's Obsidian."

Yet another shuttle lifts off from Yavin, this one heading for Coruscant.

"You wouldn't dare touch them." Xavier hissed, igniting his lightsaber.

"Oh I'd do more than that. Countless souls tainted to swell my ranks, all because you would deny them the power so rightfully theirs. Rage, anger, wrath, all powers to be used; all disciplines to be Mastered. You hate us because you fear us, fear the power that Kun and Malak and Revan and all the others down through history have used to be better! To show you the truth, that you are shadows..." He lunged forward, hissing with primal fury. "I shall show you...and then all of them"

He lunged forward, hissing with primal fury. "I shall show you...and then all of them"
"You Sith are still going about that? We're not the Jedi you once knew." Xavier countered. "We've changed, and we know the Dark as well as the Light. Light and Shadow are but two interpretations of what is the Force. You're just a bunch of power-hungry fools with ambitious delusions of grandeur. Strike us down, and we'll only grow more powerful than even you can imagine..."

He blocked the lunge, and weaved complex katas to counter the Sith.

His fingers crackled with the dark side, sending forth a power that was tainted beyond even that. "And I am not the Sith you once knew..." Things seemed to swim about him, straining at reality, hissing in the spectral; pushing against the Material realm.
"My Master made me, he forged me...In the fires of battle and the Warp. I shall bring you death" He dodged the parrys of the Jedi, and lunged forward, even as his enemy cut into his armor. "I will make you mere fodder for the Gods!"

The Jedi Master put up a hand to block the dark lightning, and pushed aside the power, even as it hurt him more than regular Sith lightning does.
"My Master made me, he forged me...In the fires of battle and the Warp. I shall bring you death" He dodged the parrys of the Jedi, and lunged forward, even as his enemy cut into his armor. "I will make you mere fodder for the Gods!"
"There will be others, should you somehow manage to kill me." Soloran grunted under the hammering blows. "Your days are numbered, whatever else happens here."

"I think not, Master Jedi. My Master has plans for both the Jedi and the Empire. Even now, the Empire has fallen into weakness, decadence....It has become a Republic, and Thrawn's bureacracy growns in excess. Even now, the shadows gather once again. My Master traces visions in the Warp, and has forseen, the Senate grows once more under the control of the Sith" He chuckled. "You are a fool to think otherwise. My Master is ancient and wise, and has plans in place..." He lashed out again, lunging forward. "All will suffer as a new dark age rises"

"Why, thank you for the warning." Xavier Soloran said sarcastically blocked a near-fatal blow, and regained the offensive. "Shame that history is about to repeat itself."

Chronos began blocking; before whirling around and hurling a Force Push towards the master. " A pity that you will not be here to enjoy it. I offer you one last chance; join me. UNlock the potential of your darkness. You should not dwell in shades of Grey when you could have all the power of the Dark Side..."

UNlock the potential of your darkness. You should not dwell in shades of Grey when you could have all the power of the Dark Side..."
"Tempting, but no." The Master easily recovered from the push, flipped backwards and sent rocks after the Sith.

Dodged, many of the rocks shattering against his armor, driving him back, before he hurled his own volley towards the Jedi, roaring as he rose, hurling himself forward. "A pity, then you will die..."

Xavier also moved to attack, and now it comes down to who makes the first mistake, as the duel became furious. Red clashed with green, sparks flying whereever they met. The Jedi managed to score some hits, but none are fatal enough to defeat Chronos, and as time went on, his own 60-something body began to register fatigue as wounds opened on him...

Chronos chuckled as he pressed his attack, his advantage; surging forward in a flurry of blows and assaults. He would make this Jedi feel pain, suffering...he would destroy him, and then the whole Order. He would reign victorious from atop mountains of bodies and thrones of bone. Rivers of blood sacrificed in the name of the Dark Gods...

Master Rydo was getting concerned when Soloran didn't come back, and began to reach out. Immediately, she gasped as the Force revealed him fighting his old foe Chronos just miles away...and losing. Chronos, who revealed his movements just mere hours before. She discreetly decided to have the initiates (in small groups protected by Padawans) trickle off the moon on 'missions', for should Chronos attack, the casualty rate would be devastating before reinforcements of knights and shinobi would arrive to contain him.

-----

Xavier knew his time was almost at an end, but he pushed on, his cells burning out as the Force fueled his last assault against the Sith Lord. He struggled to make every strike and parry count, as he made one last offensive upon the Sith...

Chronos grabbed the old mans wrist as he attacked, holding it high before snapping it in one swift motion. A brutal kick drove him to his knees, and Chronos circled, hungrily watching him like a shark. "Now, it ends....Jedi" He chuckled wryly, sheathing one sabre as he bent to pick up the Jedi's own lightsabre. "Now die..." He lashed out, driving the blade through the Jedi's torso, before moving on, headed back towards the Academy. Even if they knew of his approach, not all would be spared...

Master Rydo stood up in horror, as Xavier fell to the Sith, and triggered the invasion alarm through the Academy, alerting the fleet just minutes away. She then sent word to Masters Elendil, Masaki, Regalo, and Lowbacca, the other members of the Council and to the Konoha System to alert them of the Sith, and then set off to evacuate the place, and/or defend the evacuees if necessary.

Kelvin poked his head out from behind a rock, then stood before Obsidian.

Ah! Brother! How nice of you to grace me with your presence.

"Begone, Obsidian. Before I am forced to hurt you."

You? Hurt me?! You have made an old soul laugh inside, dear brother! Such ludicracy your words bring!

"Listen to me or not, that is your prerogative. Whether or not I will back up what I say, is most definitely... not."

Kelvin set his feet and continued. "And I must thank you for that elightening lesson you provided."

Kelvin leaned forward and opened his mouth wide in a scream much like Obsidian's, save for the fact that anything not directly in front of him heard Kelvin emit a terrifying scream that seemed as three screeching voices superimposed over each other and magnifying themselves tenfold. Obsidian simply heard the familiar trill as the shriek went beyond his auditory range and he felt a more focused shockwave wash over him.

BONNNNNGGGGGG...

Obsidian had actually failed to move out of the way when the concussion struck, as though he were waiting to see if Kelvin could actually manage the same move he had just performed. As a result, Obsidian was slammed by a focused pulse of kinetic force that knocked him a good seventy yards and into a tree that had managed to survive the initial blast, which collapsed under the force of this second impact.

For a moment, the entire clearing stood in a strange silence, until the fallen tree surged up into the air and shattered in a spray of splinters and thorns upon everyone in the clearing. Obsidian rocketed into the air and performed a lazy, gleeful pirouette in the sky.

You are going to have to do better than THAT, brother! But you are not the one I am concerned with this time.

And with that, Obsidian surged forward, Dive-bombing the nearest living Chaos Jedi with a predatory gleam in his eyes.

Narthaus turned to Daniel, "Im not waiting around, let's go!" He said as he turned and rushed into the fray of battle. He weilded his sword up against his shoulder, as he was within range of one of the Chronies he swung his sword broadly in a diagonal fashion, as the body began to slide apart, he reversed dirctions with the blade and went through the cut again, this time stopping near the middle to cut straight up through the spine and out the head, all in a bloodly blur of motion. He than jumped as the enemys body split in two, the bodies remains hadn't fully hit the ground yet and Narthaus found himself jumping through a shower of blood. He came out of the other side covered in his enemies blood with his sword cocked in a stabbing position, heading straight for Obsidian.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! He screamed as he let out a mighty battle kiai. Then right as it was the perfect moment to stick the blade through his enemy, he disappeared in a flash of energy....

He then was seen a few feet away from Kelvin. Narthaus then looked up at everyone gathered to fight, and rose his hand up in the air. It held something, a big blue ball of energy, pulsating and shining brightly. It stuck out immensly due to the dark bloody color all over Narthauses armor. He than said, "Sorry to bore you guys with another explosion, but eh?" With that a huge explosion emminated from Narthauses hand where the pure energy resided. http://space.danev.com/image/Space/NUKE/BOOM.jpg

Narthaus looked back and forth at the destruction he had caused, and said, "Eh, I always did love that trick!"

"Not bad." I smirked to Master. I think I'll just sit on that tree and watch the carnage go. If the others can get Obsidian down to at least 1/2-health with all the explosions, I can unleash a Nova Bolt. Of course, that'll mean that the mansion nearby is going to be in need of major renovations, but that's what construction droids are for. I had the twins watch in trees next to me, and we would watch and learn how good everyone really is.

Obsidian brought up a force shield without even thinking what the energy discharge was. The heat and radiation hurt some, but when the initial shockwave passed, the Avatar was quick to regenerate any burns he might have received.

Ow.

The Sith who had assaulted Naboo were dead, lain in pools of their opwn blood and the foul ichors of their enhanced organs. Faint essences seemed to drift from their corpses, holding shape before fading off into nothingness...

Far away, Chronos felt the soul bindings on the apprentices undone; they had been the lowest rung of training, the basest of beings...And now their power returned home. He sighed, feeling new energy fuel him as he strode forht from the forests, towards the Academy. They would taste a fraction of his wrath....Already he felt life sign sslip away, fleeing from him; the destroyer...But he would claim at least one more, to join Soloran, and begin this war...

OOC: Anyone else I can kill, or maybe turn?:P

Obsidian brought up a force shield without even thinking what the energy discharge was. The heat and radiation hurt some, but when the initial shockwave passed, the Avatar was quick to regenerate any burns he might have received.

Ow.

"Hmmmmmm," Narthaus said to himself, "You Cheap Bastard!!" He screamed off into the distance.
He turned to Kelvin who was standing there looking at his brother, "What the fuck are you doing? Get your ass out there and engage the enemy!" Narthaus screamed while pointing at Obsidian.

Obsidian began to wander through the corpses of the littered Sith, as he passed each body, he laid a single hand upon each of them, and they slowly dissolved into small clouds of black mist that eventually drifted away into nothingness.

Return to your former glory, mistakes. Return to that from whence you came...

"He took a Screambomb to the face, an energy blast on the level of a nuclear explosion, and all he says is 'ow.' Does he even look RUFFLED to you?"

Obsidian had finished his little tour by that point, and turned to Narthaus, surrounded by little clouds of mist that used to be Chaos Sith.

You must excuse my poor brother. He has spent so much time dreading my arrival that the coming of such an event prematurely has him somewhat... floundering.

Do not think that your unpreparedness means that I will give you any leeway, dear brother. You have surprised me with your 'screambomb'... such a quaint term... and now I shall return the favor in pain.

Obsidian was some ninety feet away from Kelvin, then he was suddenly >at< obsidian. No poof, no whipcrack of vacuum. Just one suddenly confused Avatar of the Otherness. Why confused?

Because Kelvin had pulled the same move.

They now stood, effectively reversed in their position, and equally confused.

Dammit. "Dammit."

Oh, hey... while I am here, I wanted to give you my response for that little sucker punch you pulled... Narthaus, is it?

Obsidian's fists were fast as lightning, and thudded right for Narthaus' gut, like a bullet train with a fist attached.

Kelvin pulled another one of the teleportation bursts just as Obsidian began his follow-through, and tackled his brother right at the knees.

"Playtime is over, Brother. Now it is, as they say, on."

HUF! So the brother DOES have balls. I was wondering if that screambomb you pulled was all you could manage. HAVE AT YOU!

Kelvin's first strike was a simple elbow strike to Obsidian's rib cage, and Obsidian's lead-in was a knee to the sternum. Beyond that, it was like a series of snapshots, each one showing both Kelvin and Obsidian in the process of executing different moves.

Knee, slam, punch, kick, punch, twist'n'toss, lunge, kick, spear, footsweep, whoop!, knee, huf, punch, owf, Piledrive...

Obsidian's head had just been slammed backwards into the concrete, as Kelvin had managed to execute one of his favorite combos.

Obsidian was actually slow to get up, but when he did...

On you say? Yes...

Even tracking them in bullet-time, these two were FAST! Few Jounin ninja could match them in the speed department, notably Naruto in Kyuubi-mode, Sasuke, and Rock Lee. Hokages could, like Tsunade and perhaps late Sandaime and definitely 'Yellow-Flash' Yondaime, Naruto's father, but no other level of shinobi would be able to do it. As for Jedi, Taylor, Jacob and I, as well as Master Elendil and Master Yoda were the only ones I know that can even approach their speed level. So this is a whole other level of combat, one that would definitely take a while to achieve.

As the punch hit Narthaus he squinched with a bit of pain, he then closed his eyes and smiled, "Ow." He said with glee. He then preceeded to sit down and enjoy the battle.

Gorteth folded his arms, leaned back against a shattered tree stump, and watched the fight.

Kelvin did not give his brother any slack, charging in again as soon as he realized his brother had actually been hurt by that combo.

The fight raged for several moments throughout the clearing, entire melees engaging in mere blinks of an eye.

Roundhouse, footsweep, punch, kick, force pulse, shatterspike, shoulder block, kidney shot, cannon slam, helicopter kick, block, kickitty kick, flip kick, and on... and on... and on...

For those observing the fight, it was becoming more and more apparent that Obsidian was learning from Kelvin's moves as well, and getting faster, and faster, and faster.

Finally, a single resounding CRACK split the air and Kelvin flew towards the house, slamming awkwardly into the side of the building. He fell to the ground, groaning.

You surprised me again with that strange combo, Brother! But remember, I am the Avatar! I can see! Anticipate! Counter. I wonder if regenerating your shattered ribcage will take long, I so enjoyed this sparring match.

He turned to the others.

And now... lets see YOU fly!

I suddenly stood up, ready to fight if needed. "Guys, stay here."

"But Dan--"

"No arguments. It'll take something more than your abilities to deal with him." I cut them off curtly, walking calmly to the edge of a tree branch, then stepped off, and onto the forest floor. "The moment you sense danger, 'port out immediately."

"Right." The twins nodded.

"So you wish to challenge the rest of us." I replied. Now is the time to use my new training to the utmost. "How quaint, as you say."

I was suddenly behind Obsidian, leaving an afterimage of speed, fully within the Force. I glared at the young boy. "You'll find that I, too, am full of surprises as well."

Even Masaki's port seemed slow to Obsidian, and he swiftly countered with a series of backwards elbows and whirling kicks.

What, just because you're behind me you think yourself at advantage?

Then, Obsidian poofed with a strange Bamf sound, leaving a small cloud of black mist behind, and reappeared at Masaki's side, a roundhouse kick drilling towards Masaki's chest like a comet.

~Click, click.~

Gorteth's fore arms shifted into single-edged blades, and rows of long spikes sprouted from his armor. Without waiting for Obsidian to finish with Daniel, he charged. His speed could not match teleportation, of course, but it was more than fast enough to make him a blur to ordinary eyes. The observant might notice the faint glow of a shield around him.

As he moved, he scanned the Seeker files for a more powerful spell; sleep would clearly be useless against this foe.

Even Masaki's port seemed slow to Obsidian, and he swiftly countered with a series of backwards elbows and whirling kicks.
I was just fast enough to block and dodge the blows, but to go on the offensive is out of the question at the moment.

What, just because you're behind me you think yourself at advantage?
Just goes to show that you're not all that's cracked up to be. I smirked.

Then, Obsidian poofed with a strange Bamf sound, leaving a small cloud of black mist behind, and reappeared at Masaki's side, a roundhouse kick drilling towards Masaki's chest like a comet.
"Hah, I knew a friend with that skill." I grinned, as I realized an opening, and grabbed the leg, then used his momentum to toss the boy into the air, and sent a powerful blast of Force Lightning into Obsidian, right before Gorteth charged.

Narthaus slowly spun his finger around in the air. A slighly transparent swirl of energy began to appear around his fingers, it got brighter and brighter until it was apparent that he was absorbing the pure energy of the area. The trees began to crumble without the force supporting them, and the dirt was cracking and collasping under its own weight due to the force being absorbed from the area, Obsidians aura seemed to get smaller and smaller, finally before the area lost its ability to support life, Narthaus stuck his hand out above the pure energy, and it formed into a ball. He grasped it and held it in his hand, it burst aflame. Burning brightly and purely, it was a sight to behold. He waved his fingers back and forth in a blur of motion, when he stopped the giant ball had shifted to 6 smaller fire balls.
AHHHHHH! He screamed as he threw the balls out into the sky. He then disappeared in a flash of more energy, he appeared right before the balls in the sky and used his sword to chop them furthur into even more fireballs, they zoomed past his head once again, and he once again teleported infront of the fireballs. This time he pushed his hand out and emitted a force shield, stopping the 12 fireballs dead in place. He closed his eyes and focused all his energy, than sticking two hands out in the shape of a triangle he force pushed the fireballs to the ground with a great Kiai. They zoomed off with great velocity, and as they hit the ground exploded in 12 great bursts of fire, whatever remained in that area was gone, and what took its place was a giant fire.
He smiled, and said, "I call this one the oven, kid...." With that his hand went up in the air and 8 spires of Earth shot out of the ground and made a "box" around Obsidian, cooking him to perfection.
He screamed to Daniel, "Get Kelvin, we're outta here!"

"Right." I could sense danger. "Kids! Let's go!"

I teleported away, grabbing Gorteth as I went, and the twins and I were back to the ruined Mansion. Taylor and Jacob went to Kelvin.

"Are you ok?" Taylor asked Kelvin.

I TOLD you... I am the Avatar!

Obsidian took both the lightning burst and fireballs in stride. To him it felt as nothing beyond somebody rubbing their feet on a rug and poking him with a static charge, but the fireballs would have caused something of a problem.

If he hadn't phased out and went underground.

The laws of physics obey ME!

In response to Narthaus' interesting combo, A pair of colossal arms erupted out of the ground, then a head, then a torso. An earthen reproduction of Obsidian's countenance stared down at them with blazing eyes and evil intentions. Then, the earth making up this new avatar shifted and hardened, until it seemed as though the new form had transmuted entirely to steel.

This is MY UNIVERSE! MINE! I CREATED IT! I MADE IT, AND I CAN BREAK IT!

The giant Steel Titan pulled its legs out of the ground and stared down at the others.

THE MISTAKE WILL BE RECTIFIED.

He began to stop at the ground, surprisingly fast for his suddenly expanded size and weight, hoping to catch any of the combatants under his massive metal feet.

Kelvin grabbed Taylor and Jacob's arms like a vice. And he groaned slightly as he tried to see them both.

"RUN... WE... NEED... TO... RUN..."

Each word came out with an agonized gasp, as would be expected for a child who is still working to regenerate his shattered ribcage.

"Yeah, I can see that!" Jacob yelped when the metal giant erupted out of the ground. While he might be able to transmutate it away, he wasn't sure due to Obsidian's sheer powers. The twins made to teleport to the spaceport, while I went and 'ported the other Jacob out of harm's way before taking him and Gorteth to the shuttle. As I began the startup sequence, I'm getting worried about Narthaus and Auron...

I TOLD you... I am the Avatar!

He began to stop at the ground, surprisingly fast for his suddenly expanded size and weight, hoping to catch any of the combatants under his massive metal feet.

Narthaus screamed to Auron, "This is it buddy! Distract him!" With that Narthaus turned to the giant and stuck his hand out, Narthaus thought to himself, "These flames are still burning bright, lets see if they can burn brighter...." With that his hand turned and pushed up to the sky as the fires burned with greater intensity and the flames jumped up even higher, the fire got hotter and hotter and hotter. Than just before Narthaus thought Aurons battle armor would give out with the heat, he saw his plan begining to work, The metal giants arm began to melt away, he pushed his hand up with renewed vigor and screamed, "Auron, get the hell outta there!"

Auron was running for his life, jumping over flames 10 feet tall, and having a giant metal foot try to crush him. Than he hit a dead end, flames all around him he couldn't escape, the metal foot came down on top of him, it was close to crushing him against the ground when he managed to gather the energy to teleport out of the position, by Narthauses side. This time though, even more of the giant began to melt, they watched silently.

It was a simple matter for Obsidian to syphon more material from around him to regenerate the titan's body. But this fellow that was pouring fire all over him was just getting annoying...

You... insolent... whelp... By the way you are acting, you seem to think you can overpower me...

Like a colossal cluster bomb, the Titan shattered, sending shards of superheated steel hissing through the air at Narthaus and Auron, and amping them up with kinetic pulses that would make each and every one of the shards seem as heavy as a house. Every single one of the shards that made up the titan was now a massive bullet heading for the two nuisances.

At the same time, Obsidian himself erupted out of the ground a short distance away from them. He picked up a fallen tree, and with but a small amount of concentration, the tree turned into a twenty-meter long scythe with a wicked blade. The blade also glew with a strange blue light, as if he had encased it in a force shield to prevent any happy go lucky jedi from slicing it down with a lightsaber.

He drifted into the air, whirling the scythe around as if it were as light as a wooden stick, and started whirling the vicious blade at them with horrendous speed...

"Master..." I whispered, as I circled high above the battlefield, once, twice, before heading into space.

Space swirled and tore as a tunnel of hyperspace opened up to reveal a large and powerful fleet, protecting the new Sovereign-class Battleship The Duel of the Fates. The majestic battleship is based off the designs for the Eclipse Super Star Destroyer, and it's superlaser is powerful enough to actually crack a planet, more than enough to destroy everything on one. I aimed for the bridge docking bay, for personal shuttles and fighters.

"Daniel! Are you all right?" Grandfather called.

"Yeah, I'm fine. We're coming in with injured, though!" I replied, looking over at the sleeping Kelvin.

"Right, we'll meet you with medics." Grandpa said, and switched off for a second.

We headed into the hangar bay, and once we disembarked, medics took up Kelvin on a stretcher, and carted him off to the medical bay. As that occurred, a small silver ball of scales flew to me.

"Ryujin!" I laughed as I caught my dragon. "How are you?"

"Fine! Great! I've learned lots with Father while you were gone!" Ryujin replied happily. "What went on down there?"

"I'll tell you, and I'd like to see what you've learned, but right now, let's get outta here!" I ordered the crew, as I let my dragon perch on my shoulders. The fleet moved off, away from Naboo, escorting fleeing shuttles and personal craft that made it offplanet. Soon enough, we sped off into hyperspace, and to the unknown and dark future...

Far away, Chronos felt the soul bindings on the apprentices undone; they had been the lowest rung of training, the basest of beings...And now their power returned home. He sighed, feeling new energy fuel him as he strode forht from the forests, towards the Academy. They would taste a fraction of his wrath....Already he felt life sign sslip away, fleeing from him; the destroyer...But he would claim at least one more, to join Soloran, and begin this war...
Most of the Jedi were already offplanet by now, but there was still one more group of Padawans and initiates that need to be taken away. Combat and security droids roamed the hallways, but of course they were merely delaying actions. The hangar bay was where the real activity occured as confused and scared youngsters piled into the last few shuttles before taking off. The Masters, Sasuke and Emily watched for the Sith as they would be the last ones off with a group of ten kids of various species...

OOC: I won't be able to post over the next week because of spring break; sorry about that. Just assume Gorteth's there, and isn't causing any trouble at the moment. ;)

Narthaus saw the shards coming straight for him, he knew that this would be it. He closed his eyes anticipating his last moment....
Just than, a black portal opened up right infront of them, out stepped a man clad in Klingtonian battle armor, but it was.... different, it pulsated with the force. Around the warrior was a blue aura, and a "mist." Over the armor hung a cloak studded with thousands of dragon scales, Narthaus had never seen one so intricate. The cloak expanded and than contracted, as if it was breathing. On his right hand was a gauntlet studded with more dragon scales, and it too seemed to be breathing. The portal quickly closed behind him. As he saw the shards coming straight at him, he stuck his hand out and created a force shield, they all stopped dead. With that he was gone in a flash of energy, and appeared behind Narthaus and Auron, "Begone." He said as he tapped Narthaus and Auron on the back, each disappearing with a flash....

On The Dual of the Fates Narthaus and Auron both materialized, bewildered as to what had just happened....

The man who had suddenly appeared turned and took control of the shield, he twisted his hand out into a fist, as the shards all turned to a mettalic dust. He than pushed his hand back as the dust all strung together to make one dangerous whip. He took hold of it and whiped it out at Obsidian, as it wrapped around him, he pulled it back, sending Obsidian flying in his direction. He jumped towards Obsidian with a jump kick, preparing to meet in the middle....

"Master? What just happened?" I asked, suddenly finding myself in front of Narthaus.

"Master? What just happened?" I asked, suddenly finding myself in front of Narthaus.
"I... I have no idea...." Narthaus said as he began to relate the story to Daniel.

"I... I have no idea...." Narthaus said as he began to relate the story to Daniel.
When he ended, I was very curious as to who this person could be.

MY UNIVERSE!

Obsidian disintegrated the whip, eyes pinging once again, and whirled his giant scythe around, bringing its wicked edge to and through the newcomer's shoulder at a nice 45 degree angle, faster even than the speed of time.

At the same time, he commenced some form of massive matter disjunction, shattering shields, breaking molecular bonds, disintegrating an entire section of the landscape.

In the space of a single second, everything within a half kilometer radius was rendered unto dust, and slowly flittered away into black mist.

I made you, I made this planet, I made everything! And I can break it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the massive Battleship, Kelvin floated unconscious in a bacta tank.

And Sojun was speaking to him.

"I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I WAS IMPRESSED WITH YOUR INITIAL ATTACK, MY SON."

"Yes father."

"BUT I PLACED YOU WITH THE GODULANS FOR A REASON. YOU KNOW THEIR TACTICS. NEVER LET THE ENEMY GET INTO THE PATTERN. YOU LET OBSIDIAN GET INTO THE PATTERN AND THAT IS NOW WHY IT HURTS TO BREATHE."

"Yes father."

"I NOTICE THAT YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE SOULSTONES THAT ARIES MADE. I WOULD INSPECT IT."

"Yes father," Kelvin said, handing Sojun the dream version of his new pendant.

Sojun gave the amulet a good once-over and handed it back to his son. "THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL SOULSTONE, EVEN FOR ITS PURPOSE."

"What do you mean, father? I have not had a chance to fully attune myself with the spirits of the stone yet."

"ENCASED WITHIN THIS VERY STONE IS AN AVATAR OF ARIES HIMSELF. A TEACHER GREATER THAN HIS CALIBER YOU COULD NOT HOPE TO ASK FOR. AS I TEACH YOU YOUR POWERS, SO SHALL ARIES TEACH YOU COMBAT. YOU ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE THIS STONE."

"Yes father."

"NOW, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT WE HAVE SOME SPARE TIME ON OUR HANDS, UNTIL THE MEDICS BRING YOU OUT OF YOUR SEDATED STUPOR, AT LEAST. LET US PRACTICE THIS... SCREAMBOMB..."

MY UNIVERSE!

The giant scythe was coming in at a furious pace, and it appeared it would definatly defeat this strange newcomer. As it hit the stranger, it passed straight through him. Ahahahahahaha! You are a riot young one, You did make the universe, but you did not make nothing, I am nothing! Unfortunaly for you, nothing cannot be destoryed, but it can destroy you. Nothing is the clay of the universe, formless, as to fit any form. If you made the Universe, you were before time, in the time where only two things existed, you and nothing. Since Nothing is the only thing in the universe that is timeless, one can deduct that you came from nothing. So, I made you, and now I can break you! The stranger communicated with glee.
"Now," He said as he turned to the young one,"Are you ready to return to whence you came?" With that he threw a ball of black up into the air, it slowly began to grow, and engulf the area and things surrounding it.

Obsidian was quick to react to this nuisance. With but a single surge of his will the void detonated into a beam of white light, slamming down on the strange armored fool.

Incorrect. I did not create this universe from nothing. I created it from ME, you deluded whelp. This is my universe and thus it is proven. There was no nothing before me. There was only ME. And as such, you are part of me, and as such, I can will you away as I would simply another extension of my own form. Begone. Thou art dissolute.

And with a single ping of Obsidian's eyes, the spectre vanished in a poof of black mist. Although, he didn't feel anything special come from the vanishing... whatever that guy was.

Obsidian shook his head momentarily, then took the time to look back into the sky, towards the massive planetoid of black mist, and rocketed into the sky.

And now, Time to let the Chaos Gods know that there is a new enemy to fear.

And with that, the mist planetoid vanished, leaving no trace of its existence save the desolation on Naboo.

The two Masters were just about ready to take off, and Sasuke started the pre-flight as Master Rydo watched for the Sith. Sensing no one else left at the academy and the Sith nearing, fighting off the combat droids set by the Jedi, she went into the shuttle.

"Go, quickly!" She ordered, and the shuttle went off into space, following the others. Soon, Admiral Pellaeon's fleet collected the shuttles and fighters before heading off into hyperspace. The evacuation is complete!

"What? What do you mean the Academy has been evacuated?" I asked Grandpa, when he just told me of the attack.

"Chronos, Primarch Dark Lord of the Sith, made an attack on the Academy. Master Soloran was killed in the battle, but successfully held him off long enough to evacuate the students." He said.

"Damn." I cursed. We'll need a new Council member soon. "Alright, thanks Gramps. Anything else?"

"The Jedi Temple on Coruscant has reopened, thanks to Chancellor Vedil." Alex said. "The Council will reconvene there with a token number of Jedi. We cannot risk what happened many years ago."

I nodded. "Yeah, the first Purges. So we go to Coruscant?"

"We go to Coruscant. Pellaeon will rendzevous with us there."

"Very well." I said, then turned on the intercom to the bridge. "Helm, come about Coreward. Jump to Coruscant, immediately!"

"Aye, Commander!" I'm still Commander, but soon, it will be the time to announce my intention to grab the throne.
