Obi-wan13 Stood in his office at the top of the Academy. He was standing by the window, watching The teachers work with their Padawans, teaching them Saber Techniques and more. Over to the far right, Whitedragon was conducting a double-edged Lightsaber class. He looked to the north, at the mountins, and then back to his students, then to the workers working around the clock to get station defenses online.

That ruined the beautiful sight.

"This could have all been avoided......this war........Divine Spirit took a huge chance at defecting to the sith order, and slipped away without us knowing. Now, He has an army, and that is very dangerous. He must be stopped." Obi-wan13 turned around to talk to who was in the room.

"He did catch us off guard, sir." Admiral Darklighter said.

"I know. There was nothing we could have done to prevent this. Let us not grieve on the situation, my freind. That will get us no where. The deed has been done, and the past is past." Obi-wan13 said, as he turned to stare out of the window again.

There was a loud shot. It came from out of nothingness, and just appeared out of thin air. A small metallic object shot through the window, and hit Obi-wan13.

"I'm hit!"Obi13 shouted.

Dark lighter ran up to obi-wan13, and looked at his chest to find a small toxic dart. Obi-wan13's facial expressions began to fade, and his eyes closed.

Dark lighter picked him up, and ran to the medical quarters. The on-duty Doctor gave him immidiate care, and saved his life.

2 days later........

"how are you feeling?" Darklighter asked.

"I am fine. Thank you for saving me. I hope I have the pleasure of doing the same for you one day." Obi13 said.

"You have, on several occasions, sir. I just thout I was returning the favor." Darklighter said, and then the two let out a chuckle, and calmed back down to seriousness.

"Have you found who has done this?" Obi13 asked.

"Captain Tyrion and his men found a disabled droid in the high mountins. It had Luacious Poison inside of it. There is no doubt that it is the one who fired, and there is no doubt that it came from Divine Spirit. We must be cautious, sir. These are dangerous times." Darklighter said.

"Untill I recover, admiral, you are in charge." Obi13 said.

"Rest and return to health, General." Darklighter said, as he bowed to his master and exited. Obi13 looked at the numerous tubes running through his arms, and at his hospital bed, and sighed.

"This is just the begining." he said to himself.

Divine Spirit sat in his throne room, gazing out at the evening sky. A soft beep came from a speaker on the armrest of his throne and the door to his chamber opened. Shadow Angel strode into the room. A tall, strong soldier who's menacing appearance was only enhanced by the dimly lit interior. He strode up to Divine Spirit's throne and knelt in front of him.

"Rise, my friend" commanded Divine Spirit. "I told you to remain on the command ship."

"A small Jedi force has penetrated the shield and landed the planet's surface" replied Shadow Angel.

"Yes I know" commented Divine Spirit.

"What is thy bidding, me Master?" asked Shadow Angel

"It is of no concern. Soon the invasion will be crushed! Your work here is finished, my friend. Go out to the command ship and await my orders" said Divine Spirit. "Darth Kaan is already onboard a Star Destroyer heading for the location of the invaders"

"But Master, what if they manage to get into your warehouse and steal the plans?" inquired Shadow Angel

"Patience, my friend. Darth Kaan will take care of them. The secret plans are safe and soon the craft will be operational"

"As you wish my Master"

Shadow Angel bowed and exited the room.

"Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen" Divine Spirit said to himself as he turned around to face the viewscreen once again.

Darklighter

07-20-2002, 11:00 PM

A few days after the dramatic attack that had injured the General, Sir Obi-wan was back on his feet, his wound now covered, diguised by his robes in typical Jedi uniform. However, although there was little visible trace of dart's strike, the poison had spread through his body, weakening one leg, as he now had a small limp in his reight leg. Most of the poison had now receded, and soon he would be back to full health.

Obi-wan now descended the lift from the council room. It judered and shook as it finally slowed to a halt, and the doors opened suddenly. The light of the sun gleamed into his eye, and he raised his hand to block the glare of the light rays upon his face. It was hot, and the green of the surrounding lawn glowed with magnificance. He looked to his left at the great building of the Academy, standing tall among the trees to the side of it.

Maximus and his padawan were stationed on the grass, upon a higher point as the young jedi trainees sat, watching their every move as they went through basic lightsaber techniques: blocks, attacks and different defensive movements.

"You're back" came a voice from behind a tall tree next to the lift. A uniformed figure stepped into view from amidst the bright yellow gleam of the sun.

"You have been meditating on this situation for a long time. Is everything okay Sir?" Admiral Darklighter walked up beside him and Obi-wan turned to face him.

"No" he replied sullenly. "Not after all this Academy has been through." He began to walk off towards the lake, the Admiral ermaining by his side. There was a long silence before he spoke again.

"This has happened to a student under my care. It is my responsibility. I cannot help feeling guilty for the path Divine has taken."

"There wasn't anything you could have done" the Admiral responded quickly and reasuringly. "No one could have foreseen this. The dark side..."

"...clouds everything" Obi-wan interrupted, finishing his sentance. They both smiled. "I know".

"He could strike again at any time" Darklighter suggested. "Like you said, It is not over..."

At that point, there was an explosion far off byond the lake, right before the mountains. The snow at the base errupted in a fountain of white dust, and the Admiral and General jumped back, drawing their lightsabers at the harsh sound.

The alarm bell rung, and the Academy was filled with noise of shouts and screams. The children padawan's ran to the safety of the caretaker, and squdron pilots were running, sprinting to the hanger bay. The two could only stand and watch with horror.

"No going back Sir" Darklighter exclaimed.

"No. Lets go!"

07-20-2002, 11:40 PM

The hanger bay doors were wide open, and the pilot-uniformed Academy personel were running to and from the stations around the hanger, gathering equipment and gear and preparing for battle.

The General and the Admiral run towards the hanger. Immediately as they entered Reb came to face them, exhausted and gasping for breath.

"What is wrong?! What is happening" Obi-wan's voice was deep, laden with foreboding anger.

"I think you should come see for yourself sir" he replied.

"You go Sir, I'll rally the ground forces" as he said this Darklighter was gone among the fighters and pilots. To the right of the hanger from where they had entered was a small cylindrical lift, leading towards the roof of the building. Both Reb and Obi-wan entered it, and the doors rolled shut. It took them only a couple of seconds to reach the top. There was a number of small platforms, connected by steps and a watchman stationed at the very top. Reb called up.

"Report!" The man looked up from his binoculars and faced them.

"It doesn't look good sir" yelled Camus among the gunfire in the distance. Reb and Obi-wan ran up, and Obi-wan grabbed the binoluars and stared in horror at what he saw. There must have been about four, maybe five AT-ATs advancing from the mountain region, surrounded by half a dozen chicken walkers. They were coming at alarming speed, and behind a couple of hundred meters, a long thin line of dark clothed figures could be seen.

Obi-wan said nothing, only lowered his binocluars and looked into empty space.

"What do we do now, Sir?!" The voice behing Camus was greatly desperate, shrouded in fear. It was sOulblihtr, his first battle and he was nervous and his voice cold.

"Get ready. sOulblihtr go to Admiral Darklighter and give him the order to advance. Tyrion will carry the ground force. Now go!" with that he disappeared towards the lift and was gone.

"It will be okay" Obi-wan reassured Reb. "The worst will come another time. I can feel it". They looked out towards the troops of the opposing side. "Divine will not come...he is too afraid...I can feel it. We will meet again."

Darklighter was far beyond the opening of the hanger. He had descended the stairs, and Tyrion was readying his men, giving out orders in a loud and clear voice. He was one of the youngest soldiers in cmmand, and yet one of the most proffesional.

"You will go after the speeders have carried out their first three waves of attack" Darklighter yelled at him, "by then at least three of the walkers should be down.

"How many are there?" He was confident and ready to take on the enemy.

"I have not had word yet. There will be at least three, and more AT-STs."

"Right" Tyrion nodded.

sOulblihtr had been listening behind them, and interrupted with the news. "There are four, maybe five."

"I am counting on you Captain" Darklighter exclaimed.

"You don't need to worry" he said with a smile. "Tell the Master I want a payed vacation after this" Tyrion joked, and turned away to his troops.

Dissectional was now in the center of a large circle of pilots and gunners, awaiting his orders.

"You will pair up into a pilot and gunner team for each speeder" he instructed. "Your main objective is to take down those AT-ATs. Leave the chicken walkers for the turrets.

"Why the AT-ATs?" questioned Darth Knight. "The AT-STs will arrived at the base quicker."

Whitedragon interrupted before the Squad Commander could answer, "The AT-ATs do more damage. The closer they get, the more dangerous they are. They must be taken out first."

Dissectional looked both shocked and angry, "Very good Ensign, perfectly right, but next time, speak when you are spoken to! Gather your men everyone, and proceed to your stations."

On that note, they dispersed into their vehicles. They waited, ready for the signal to attack...

yes finally i get to kill some at ats in my speeder who hoo!

Divine Spirit

07-20-2002, 11:52 PM

A siren rang throughout the hanger bay as the Imperial Shuttle rested onto its landing platform. A squad of twenty clones ran up to the front of the ship and arranged themselves into two parrallel lines. As the siren died out, the echo was lost in the sound of a hiss and then the noise of the departure ramp lowered intself from the shuttle.

Divine Spirit strode from the ship with a less then pleased look on his face. The first assasination attempt on obi-wan13's life had not gone well. Even though he had just arrived back home he had already got news of obi-wan13's recovery. Darth Talliusc promptly walked beside Divine Spirit as they left the Hanger Bay. Talliusc was an apprentice now, had only been under the training of Divine Spirit for one day and was making good progress. Divine knew that one day Talliusc would become the first Sith Master of the Sith Academy.

The Hanger bay door slide shut and the sound of boots on refreshly polished floor came into the range of Divine's Hearing.

"Income is up by 0.8%, production of clones is up to schedule, costs are up by 0.35% and --"

Divine waved his hand and silenced the officer who had recently joined his company. "That news is not important to me. How is the production of the new fleet coming along?"

"Well.....er......im afraid....my Master... we are behind schedule by 2 weeks. I am sorry but since the accident in the trials we--"

"You have failed me for the last time" Divine told the officer. The Emperor's hand lifted into the air and the officer started to clutch his throat. After a few seconds the body of the officer lay in a heap, to the side of the corridor. "Apology accepted"

Divine and Kaan continued down the corrider and after a few minutes, Kaan gulped and said "My Master....I have another plan"

"Yes?"

"I believe that my undercover agent on Coruscant has found a security fault in the area surrounding the Jedi Academy."

"You have done well. What do you propose to do?"

"If we can get a Star Destroyer in the correct position, it could fire through the hole in the shieldsand knock out the shield generator. When that has happened we can send down AT-Ats and AT-STs to the surface. From there they can reach the Jedi Academy"

Divine Spirit stood in deep thought for a minute. "Impressive, most impressive"

Divine Spirit

--Invasion is going well Sir. The AT-ATs are advancing to the Jedi Academy and the target should be in range in a matter on minutes--

"Good work commander" replied Divine Spirit, just before he shut off his comlink. Divine took a long, deep breath......

"Yes.....obi-wan13 is at the Academy. And soon him and his pitiful Academy shall fall"

Obi-wan13 Limped to the service lifts in the main building, and Pressed the button to activate it.
The lift went to the top, and Obi-wan13 limped to the edge, putting all of his weight on his kane.

He watched in silence, and meditation.

I feel.........lightheaded.......I......Must get to the front.....

Obi-wan13 thought to himself. Knowing his second in command, Darklighter, would object to this.

Obi13 went back to the lift, went to a hallway, and went to his sleeping quarters. He sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the ground. He knew what he must do. He Stood, and wlaked over to his Shelves, and stared at his books.

It was as if he was seeing his belongings for the last time. He had a sad look on his face, as he then went to his Storage Locker, and opened it, and Took out his light-blue lightsaber, and activated it. He stared at the blade, then he deactivated it, and put it on his belt.

He then limped back to the lift, and went to the ground. He walked over to the hanger, and got into a ground speeder. The troops where getting breifed, and arming themselves, and they didn't even notice him.

He turned on the speeder and heard the engine hum. He backed out, and set off to through the forest, and Straight into the heart of the imperial forces. It would take him a while to get to them, but he had to hurry.

To be continued....

Darklighter

07-21-2002, 12:21 AM

"Death Squadron will be organised after the speeders have returned" Darklighter informed Obi-wan on the deck of the watchtower-platform on top of the hanger. The evening luminescence was fast dissapearing behind the shadowing mountains and hills far off in the distance. The sun was now only a glistening speck in the vastness of the pale orange-red sky, and the long cold night had nearly begun. The attack would be carried out in almost darkness.

The Admiral turned to face Obi-wan, but said nothing. There was no need for words, it was beyond that now. Darkness was clouding the skies, thick dark-grey clouds were spreading across it, shadowing everything beneath it. In the distance, beyond the mountains and hills and the fleets of troopers beneath them, the two men caught a glimpse of it. A huge, black spine tower reaching towards the sky, filled to the brim with evil malice and devilish blackness. It was a horrible sight, after all the Academy had hoped to achieve.

"How could this have happened?" Darklighter said, almost involuntarily. Obi-wan still said nothing, only watched. Darklighter looked at him for a moment. He knew his master well. He knew Obi-wan was trying to find wisdom or hope in this hour of need, to think of what he needed to do. The Admiral admired his master for his sheer patience, and his union with the force made him an even stronger Jedi than ever before at this point. Darklighter shrugged off the thought and followed his master's gaze.

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

Greedo now was running to meet Tyrion at the front of the hanger bay. He almost fell over with exhastion as he reached Tyion.

"The speeders are ready to go" he breathed heavily "and the master has given the order for us to meet at the turrets as they leave.

"I though we were going after the first few waves of attack from the speeders!" Tyrion exclaimed.

"Yes Sir, but we must go now! The infantry need support at the turrets and we are all that is available.

Tyrion shook his head. "Very well" He turned now to his men. "Lets go!"

On his command the entire troop marched over the ridge down to meet the forces already stationed at the first post. They ran quickly and swiftly down towards the preliminary forces and dived behind the ridge, guns at the ready. Greedo was beside Tyrion, and his sniper rifle was brought at, beautifully crafted and shining wit the last glow of the pale sun. They sat, ready, waiting, watching the AT-ATs come over the small elavated ground a mile or so in front. At that point, the speeders flew over there heads, breaking the quietness of there position, as they speeded to meet them.

"Here we go!" Tyrion yelled, and there was silence.

Reb Starblazer

07-21-2002, 12:21 AM

This is character development, not much to do with the actual war, but I'll get to that later. This is in answer to Divine's Spirit's thoughts on me being a Dark Jedi in a Jedi academy. Feel free to skip it if you want.

Dark Path

Earlier that day...

The door slid open with a "whoosh" as Obi-Wan entered Reb Starblazer's quarters. He walked in a few steps, and noticed Reb sitting on the floor, shirtless, deep in meditation.

"It is a troubling time, is it not old friend?" Said Reb, almost startling Obi-wan.

"Yes, indeed it is. The Dark side has taken yet another victim, as it almost did to you." Replied Obi-wan.

"Almost?" chuckled Reb. "The dark side had taken me completely, becoming a part of my soul. It was only with your help, and hers..." Reb's voice faded as a sad look crossed his face " That I was able to be brought over, at least partially." Reb stood and faced Obi-wan. Obi-wan noticed Reb's scar laden chest, reminders of his past, ones that would never fully heal.

"Neither the scars, nor Reb." Obi-wan thought to himself.
" But it wasn't just my doing. You wanted to be turned, more than anything. I just gave you a little push in the right direction." Obi wan said with a smile.

Reb walked slowly over to his closet, his black Sith boots, clicking on the floor, a stark contrast to Obi-wan's brown.

"The force can be a cruel master, can it not Obi-wan? Then again, so was Darth Talon."

Obi-wan almost shuddered at that name, at the thoughts of all the violence wrought by him, before Reb took that final step that was necessary, and struck down his Dark master.

"That's how I got these scars. I learned the hard way. My master didn't turn the Lightsabre power down while practicing, it was full out, or not at all. If I died, then I wasn't good enough to be his apprentice, that was that. I had to be fully committed to the ways of the Sith."

"But you weren't, you were always a Jedi at heart. In your heart you were never a Sith, never like him. It's only because of your 'condition' that you're forced to use the Dark side"

Reb chuckled at Obi-wans use of the word "condition". "It's alright Obi-wan. It's my curse" Obi-wan opened his mouth to say something, but Reb raised his hand and silenced him. "But it's also my blessing".
Reb reached up and pulled his shoulder length, dirty blond hair back into a ponytail, revealing the five vestigial horns on his forehead, a trait common to all Zabraks.

"We've never quite figured it out have we Reb? Why you have such a strong connection to the Dark side, but barely any to the Light. Do you still believe it's your lineage that's the problem?"

"Yes. I think that's it's the combination of Human father and Zabrak mother that caused this. It's not their fault, they had no idea this would come about. Or maybe..." Reb, suddely remembering why he went to his closet, opened the door. "I'm just an anomaly in the Force." Reb said, with a light tone in his voice. Reb looked into the closet, staring at the black tunic and cape that he hoped he would never have to wear again.

"You came here in search of peace, only to find war. I'm beginning to think trouble follows you wherever you go" Said Obi-wan, trying to have a light moment in such a dark conversation. He hoped he didn't offend Reb however.

"Trouble doesn't follow me Obi-wan." Reb replied "I am trouble". The last sentence was said lightly, and Obi-wan tried not to laugh, realizing he had not offended Reb in the least. "I find myself at a crossroads, and am undecided at which road to take. Should I once again immerse my self in the grip of the Dark, or hide, cowering in the light, afraid of what I may become.

"Be entirely tolerant or not at all; follow the good path or the evil one. To stand at the crossroads requires more strength than you possess, my friend." Said Obi-wan, quoting an old saying, that he never really understood until now.

"Perhaps I shall take the middle road then. Follow the path of evil, for the side of light. He that does evil so that good may come, pays a toll to the devil to let him into heaven. Is that not right?"

Obi-wan and and Reb looked at each other and laughed. Two men, quoting old sayings, in the middle of a war. Two friends, searching for a spot of light in a sea of darkness.

Reb broke the silence first, "I know now what must be done. Power never takes a step back - only in the face of more power, and I shall do what I can. He must be stopped, and I shall give in, become evil incarnate if that's what's neccesary, to see it done." Reb reached in to the closet and took hold of his tunic, reclaiming a name he had long since uttered.

Obi-wan nodded, and turned to leave the room. "May the force be with you, Reb Starblazer" Obi wan said, as he left the room, leaving his friend to comtemplate his path, and his purpose in the days ahead.

"May it be with us all Obi-wan, may it be with us all." Reb said to the empty room

Later, a figure was seen leaving Starblazer's quarters. A haunting vision, dressed in black, a Lightstaff on his belt, made it's way through the academy. The younger padawans, stepped aside, a look of terror on their faces, as he silently walked past. He headed for the forward command center, finally realizing his part in the grand scheme. As he entered, all eyes were locked on him. He walked slowly, his face obscured by the shadows of his hood, and stood silently in front of Obi-wan. The figure, bowed down to one knee, and removed his hood. A familiar face, covered with intricate designs of war paint, stared up at Obi-wan, a face he had not seen in a long time. The once green eyes had changed, now, red and orange piercing eyes, imbued with the power of the Dark side, met with Obi-wan's.

"Darth Malice, at your command. What are your orders, General Kenobi..."

Once again, way too over the top(and probably way too long:D), but I like writing. I have a whole collection of unfinished stories on my computer, including the tale of Reb Starblazer, a character I've had in my head for many years.
Man, you're right Darth Knight, this is cool.

Darklighter

07-21-2002, 12:58 AM

Obi-wan was no longer by Darklighter's side. He had left the platform and returned to the hanger. Before leaving, Obi-wan had said to him - "I have some unfinished business", and that was all. The speeders had not yet left the hanger and Tyrion's forces were beginning to proceed to the first station. As he stood there, the Admiral began to contemplate everything that was happening. He knew what his master was going to do. He did not want to interfere, for Obi-wan would not regret his actions. Darklighter would not have approved of what he wanted to do, but once his master's mind was made up, it was not his place to argue.

Standing there, at the helm now of the attack, in retrospect he started thinking about where he was, what he had gotten himself into. He thought about his first meeting with his master, and how had saved his life.

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

Many years back, Tidus Darklighter was a farmboy on one of the nearby moons of the Academy's planet. His mother and father were both human, and worked hard at keeping themselves safe and healthy. He lived well, was cared for dearly. However the trouble in his fathers work had encouraged him to go into smuggling. This would have surely brought in more money, and proved a better chance of their success. However the figureheads that his father had gotten involved with were ruthless and cunning. Tidus' father had borrowed an obscene amount of money to pay for transpots to a nearby industrial system. The smugglers knew he would never be able to pay that money back, so hired bounty hunters to do the deed.

Obi-wan was on a reconassance mission to the moon. He was sometimes working there, exploiting the weaknesses of the smugglers, using his powers to lead him to evil doers detroying the peace. It was by luck he found out about Tidus' father, what the bounty hunters had in store for him. He raced to meet him, fearing the worse.

When Tidus was only 15, he was working late on the farm, gathering supplies from the forest where they lived. A ship was descending from the sky, his mother and father leaving the house to greet the visitor. However the welcome was shortlived. The figure that emerged leaped from the craft to the ground and shot his mother. He stood and watched as his father ran to her dead body on the floor. Crying, he looked up and the figure raised his gun and shot him in the forehead.

Tidus stood in horror. The bounty hunter looked at him at the edge of the forest. He began to run, following Tidus through the thick dense forest. He came into an pening, and turning around the figure glared at him. He closed his eyes, full now of sorrowful tears, awating death. At that point Obi-wan leaped into the opening, decapitating the hunter with his lightsaber in one swift stroke. They stared at each other for a moment, Tidus in complete shock and sadness.

A gun went off, and the Admiral awoke from his trance. That was how they met. He was enrolled at the Academy after that, as Obi-wan's first apprentice. He looked beside him again. The man he looked up to as a father was nowhere to be seen. A tear rolled down from his eye: after everything they had been through, Obi-wan still did not trust him to know his inner most thoughts. He was left a lone once again.

Obi-wan's speeder came to a hault, just a few meters outside the imperial temporary camp. Obi-wan came at a good time. The imperials where tired from their hike, and where about to turn in for the day. Obi-wan noticed the night watcher's stalking in the darkness, only seen in the few Lights they had posted up.

I am getting too old for this Obi-wan thought. He walked around the gates and fences, unoticed, as though he where a small feline. He looked at one of the garrisons, and saw 3 clone troopers guarding the entrance. A Lamda Shuttle was there, engines humming, as if it where going to take off.

here's my chance Obi-wan said. He dodged the guards in an amazing show of stealth, and made his way onto the shuttle. He hid behind a few Cargo crates, as a few clone troopers, and an officer, dressed in black, walked on.

"We must not keep the emporer waiting. Pilot, take off." The officer commanded.

"Yes sir" the young man said. The doors closed, and the craft began to lift off, untill it was in space.
_________________________________________

The Emporer Watched out of the window at the shuttle coming in.

Yes, Come to me! Come to your Fate! your death! The Emporer said to himself. A young Officer walked in the throne room, and Spoke to the emporer.

"My lord, The replacement command crew has arrived." The young officer said.

"Good. Have them report to me immidiatly." The emporer said, as the young man bowed and left.

"You are foolish,Obi-wan Kenobi" The Emporer said.
__________________________________________________

Obi-wan remained on the shuttle for a good number of hours, then snuk off. He made his way down a few halls, when A security patrol passed him by. He hid, and went unnoticed once again. He made his way to the shield generator room, and Gently strode passed the guards. He left and went through a vent, and made his way to the door of the throne room. A guard noticed him, and demanded he surrender.

Obi-wan Looked at the man, and waved his hand.

"Open this door." Obi-wan commanded.

"Yes, right away." The guard said, and opend the door. Obi-wan walked through, and the blast door closed behind him.

"Welcome, General Kenobi. I have been expecting you." The Emporer said, as he turned his chair around, and revealed himself to Obi-wan. The emporer stood, and ignited a Lightsaber.

"You will find that my age will not interfere with my Fighting Skills." The Emporer said.

"Nor with me, For I am a jedi." Obi-wan said, as he ignited his blue lightsaber.

The two sabers met in air, and then on the ground. The emporer took a swing at Obi's head, but Obi blocked. The emporer kicked Obi-wan's right leg, sensing his weakness.

Obi fell to the ground in pain.

"I can see that the poison has not fully left your system, Obi-wan13. You are a weak fool, and the poison makes you an even weaker fool! Now, You shall die." The emporer said, as he brought his saber over his head, and Slashed downward on obi-wan.

It is you that first declared war in the Sith Academy thread!

he he hee, a Jedi promotiong violent actions against non violent people...what a truley corrupt "Academy" you have!

I don't see how defenging the Acedemy from the forces of evil is promoting acts of violence. I suppose I can see your point of view. I don't thing Master Obi Wan 13 wanted a war, but it is necessary to defend that which we hold sacred. I for one am not looking forward to slaughtering fellow Sith, But my saber belongs to The Academy, my family, my future.

Darth Groovy sat quiet in his quarters. His master had long since retired for the evening. Groovy was restless and began practicing his meditation techniques that Master Yoda_623 tought him. He sat crossed legged on the floor, arms outstretched. Fading were his dreams of becoming a teacher at the Academy as visions of violence and distruction flashed in his dreams. He saw the blood on his hands as young Sith fell before him.......Darth Groovy cried out in agony...."NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Suddenly he returned to conscienceness and his eyes blinked open. He gathered himself.....he knew what he must do. He had never been in a real battle before this moment. He stood up in the middle of his quarters and touched a control on the com bracelet on his arm. A few strange beeps emmited as 25 small probe droids entered the room. In one long gracefull circular motion Darth Groovy's long saber hilt flew from the belt on his hip into his hand. He twirlled it in a figure 8 as the probe droids began fireing small lazer bolts upon him, in one swift spin the double red blade cut through the droids like confetti........... Yoda_623 rushed into the room gazing for a moment at the sparks and wires which glittered on the floor of Darth Groovy's chamber. Darth Groovy took a deep breath and powered down his saber. "Is everything alright my young padawan?" Yoda asked? "Yes, my master" Darth Groovy slowly replied. Yoda_623 smiled slightly and left his chambers. He feared for his apprentice, not only for his safety, but he knew his personal feelings on this matter had made his pupil restless. Tommorrow he would place heavy emphasis on relaxation techniques and self control. Tommorrow was to be a long day remembered.

obi

........As the Emporer slashed down on Obi-wan, Obi-wan rolled away to safety as the saber hit the floor next to him. The same thing happened once more. Obi-wan looked at his sabe hilt, a pulled it to him, and ignited it, blocking the emporers next attack. He swung like a madman to get hte emporer away. When he had enough space, he stood again, all weight on his left leg.

The Emporer ran towards him and began swinging a barrage of blows against Obi-wan, which where deflected. A small explosion shook the throne room, and The Emporer was stunned.

"This is Death 4, going in on my attack run." A pilot said, as an x-wing swooped aroun and fired on one of the shield generators.

"heh heh heh heh." The emporer laughed, as he swung at obi again. Obi backflipped and avoided to swipe.

The x-wing fired a torpeado on one of the sheild generators again, and it exploded. A young officer ran into the throne room,and interupted the duel. Obi-wan was going to kill the young man, but held back when he realized the boy was unarmed. Another cloaked figure came into the room, and Obi-wan's attention shifted. The Emporer, taking the chance, Hit obi on the back of the head with the hilt of his saber. Obi fell unconscious.

"Did you need something captain?" The emporer asked.

"Sir, the Academy forces have launched an air strike on us, and we where unprepared, and our shields are failing. we must With draw, or we will be destroyed!" The officer said.

"Let us make our leave, then. *emporer points to obi* Darth Kaan, take him to a cell. We will interogate him, and find out everything we can. Then, we shall kill him." The emporer said, as Kaan bowed, and drug obi away.

"My lord, we must move quickly to evacuate our forces on the planet." The young captain said.

"We haven't the time. Set course for Coruscant and engageour hyperdrive." The emporer said.

"but my lord, we...."

"NOW!" The emporer yelled.

The young man was now very afraid, and said "yes, my lord"

The x-wing squadron was attacking the Star Destroyer when it suddenly blasted to hyperspace.

"Good job Death Squadron. Return to base." Darklighters voice came over the comm.

obi man you are writing some really tight stories they are really good

Dissectional

07-21-2002, 03:17 AM

Nice, Nice guys. I hope i can compile a tale that shall be on par with you guys'.

After the missions with Ice and Death squadron, Captain Dissectional Returned to the academy. Once safely docked, he received a comm transmission: General Kenobi Had made it safely back. Relieved that he had escaped the clutches of the emperor, Dissectional raced to talk with him.
"Well, sir, good to see your face again, I feared you dead," Dissectional announced with a hearty smile. "How in the hell did you escape?"
"A long story, which i will be glad to share over a juri juice." Kenobi chuckled.
"well, we have more important things to take care of than stories and liquor," Dissectional stated quite gruffly. And with that, they all headed for the academy war room.
"My lightsaber is itching for sith flesh," The bold young padawan stated.
" You'd better curb that temper, lest you be tempted by the darkside yourself!" Kenobi barked. "we'll be mashing sith once we figure out where they are and what they plan on doing next!"
Death Squadron Recon had found that the sith academy troops were moving their fleets closer to the LF academy system, and were only a mere 4 parsecs away.
" I want death squadron on full patrol, 24 hours a day. They plan on a straight spearhead into the academy system." Kenobi grimly muttered. "This is looking like it's all about to blow up into a battle of gargantuan proportions, none like we've ever seen before.."

To Be Continued.... :D:D

There's my little smidgin of a tale. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Darklighter

07-21-2002, 03:31 AM

Darklighter looked down upon the battle below. The seepders had already taken out the first AT-AT, thanks to the skillful work of Reb Starblazer. The arrangements had to be made quickly, and the pilots and gunners joined up in pairs; first Dissectional and Exterminator, then Reb and KordKelly, Wjitedragon and Camus, and finally Darth Knight and sOulblihtr.

Darklighter now looked upon the battle ground, and down at the ground forces below. He knew what he had to do.

Obi-wan, master, you're gonna hate me for doing this . On that thought, he leapt from the side rail of platform, plummeting down headfirst towards the dround a hundred meters below. He flipped fowards and flung his cloak aside. He landed on his feet, with effortless ease.

He was dressed in pure white garments covering his body, with tall black boots and a black belt around his waist. His hair fell before the sides of his face, down to his neck, which shone jet black. His face and skin was markless and bright. He had the appearance of a padawan, but after 15 years of Jedi mastery he was nearly as able as his master. Tidus Darklighter, master Jedi, would fight once again...

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

Tyrion and his men manned the turrets, awaiting the AT-STs as they closed in on their position. Greedo sat, his eye's fixed on the cockpit, ready to fire. At that point, it all changed. Imperial troops began descending from the walkers. They aligned and began to walk slowly towards them. The chicken walkers halted, aiming their guns at the turrets. They were ambushed.

"No, this is all wrong!" Tyrion yelled. "Where is our back up!" He drew his comlink from his pocket and spoke. "Tyrion to Ice Leader! Tyrion to Ice Leader! W have more surprises here commander, you gotta give us some support!"

"No can do" Dissectional replied in the speaker. "We cannot deter ourselves, if we try to leave now we're as good as dead!"

"Damn!" Greedo replied. "We'll have to take them."

Darkighter was now running furiously down towards Tyrions men. As he approached the hill, a hand grabbed his shoulder. He swung round to draw his saber, until he realised who it was.

"I thought I told you to stay wheer you were" AB_Legion said. "I can't have you, second in command going into battle now, can I?"

"Looks like you'll have to do without me...I am needed."

"And so am I!" They both smiled.

"We're with you too" Darklighter's face shone as his fellow Jedi's came into view. Maximus, XERXES, Agen and Yoda_623 stepped out beyond the shadows.

"Didn't think we were gonna let you go alone, did you?" Maximus joked.

"Together again, huh?" XERXES chuckled.

"Lets go!" said Agen, as the Jedi marched towards the front line to meet their enemy.

darklighter that was really good but one thing i thouhgt obi was a prisoner still

Darth Groovy

07-21-2002, 03:43 AM

Clad in his usual oversize black robe and sunglasses, Darth Groovy stood silently behind the turrets along with other padawans as he was instructed to do so. The gunners shifted the turrets right and left.....alternately exchanging fire. The smoke from the blasters up ahead had layed a dense fog in all of the surrounding areas. Nerfyoda stood next to him talking his ear off as usual. Back in class Nerfyoda loved to use Groovy as the butt of his unusual class clown antics yet would defend him just as easy. Darth Groovy had often found himself just as amused by Nerfyoda's absurd humor as much as he was annoyed by it. "Bloody AT-ATs!" said Nerfyoda as he spit on the ground. "What good would lightsabers do against those things?" Before Groovy could reply Nerfyoda had holstered his saber and pulled out a deadly rifle with a long range scope on the end. Nerfyoda grinned devilishly as he pulled a clip out of his back pocket and slapped it harshly into the butt of the rifle. "Just in case!" Nerfyoda chuckled! "You should not underestimate the power of the Force", Groovy replied. "Your too tense mate, relax! Yoda_623 is on the other side of the battle field. Did ya screw it up this morning Darth? I know it wasn't at lightsaber training!" Darth Groovy did not respond and only looked past Nerfyoda. Nerfyoda was right......Yoda_623 had been very stirn early that morning placeing unusual emphasis on emotion control and relaxation, he had seemed tense like he was holding back from his apprentice. Nerfyoda had often made jokes about Darth Groovy......his Lightsaber scoring always shadowed Nerfyoda Ten fold, and made him jealouse. while Nerfyoda was a better pilot than he was and loved to hunt minoks with his rifle. Obi wan 13 had prohibited rifles at the academy especially amoung students. Darth Groovy had known about his rifle and it's hidden location in his footlocker. Often on weekend leave Groovy would go minok hunting with Nerfyoda just to watch his amazing aim. Darth Groovy never took his saber skills very seriously, his passion was art and music which made Nerfyoda pick on him even more. At times it did seem strange to see a black and red tattooed face with a crown of thorns crooning Corillian love ballads in the mess hall surrounded by screaming students. Saber training came natural to Darth, as if he had been trained a thousand times. Today his skills would be needed. "I really hope we win today or this will be a waste!" said Nerfyoda as he pulled a cantine out that was slung across his shoulder and held it in front of Darth Groovy. "What is that" said Groovy, "I'll give you a hint......it ain't water and it ain't blue milk either!" replied Nerfyoda. "I made it last weekend.....this is our victory dance" "Um, of course" said Groovy. Nerfyoda twisted off the cap of the cantine "smell this" he said and held it up to Groovy'd nostrils. Groovy inhaled and let out a large cough followed by a gasp for air. "Jeezum Crow! your gonna kill somebody with that stuff" Groovy said as Nerfyoda chuckled wildly. "Mother's maiden recipe..... bless her soul!" Nerfyoda kissed a pendant that adorned his neck and quickly stuffed it back into his tunic. Nerfyoda gripped the charging mechanism below the barral of his gun as a pulsating hum whirred up to full power. "Do you think we will win?" asked Nerfyoda. "We will win.....my master has forseen it. Besides we were instructed to wait behind lines, the first few AT-ATs have fallen and we may not need to fight at all." Groovy finished. "Not till I take down at least one of 'em" Nerfyoda injected "I want a sith head on my mantle."Darth Groovy pursed his lip and gave Nerfyoda a generic look of discust. "WTF?" replied Nerfyoda, and Groovy rolled his yellow eyes up at the night sky and let out a sigh.
Groovy focused on Tyrion who was in the main command platform running back and forth barking orders at uniformed officers and multiple uniformed holographic images. A large explosion went off not more than a few yards behind the two padawans. Groovy And Nerfyoda ducked as dirt and ash rained down upon them "That was too close!" Nerfyoda screamed, "We may fight after all!" As Nerfyoda closed his sentance the two padawans gazed into the night sky and saw the faint image of a single tie interceptor with flames and smoke emmiting from it's port wing. The ship spiraled down and crashed into a tree. Tyrion cursed loudly and jumped off the platform to join a group of troops running towards the crashed ship. Groovy grabbed Nerfyoda's shoulder as he was about to run...."We wait here my freind until the Master's instruct us to do otherwise!" Nerfyoda cursed and then looked up at Groovy. "Your right, there will be plenty of heads on the field when the battle is over." "When the Battle was over......" Darth Groovy pondered heavily on that last sentence. Then looked up and smiled widely, "Master Obi-Wan is alive......he made it......thank the Force!"

Darth Knight is right, im in a SD.

good though. edit it a bit. :)

Darklighter

07-21-2002, 04:08 AM

The light was dimming fast. The flood-like lamps situated underneath the walkers gave out a blinding glow, and the soldiers who advanced from them reflected the light. They were dressed in a new uniform armour; the new clonetrooper armour, and thick, the helmets shone with white. The long line of soldiers could be seen approaching.

"We can't do this" Tyrion's confidence had been diminished.

"I'm sorry" replied Greedo solumnly.

Just as they had given up hope, the band of Jedi came over the ridge to greet them, AB_Legion leading. They really were a symbol of magnificance, kitted in bright white and bauge robes with their lightsabers haning from their belts. Tyrion was overcome with relief.

"I thought you'd never show" he said gleefully.

"Concentrate all the turrets fire on the walkers" AB_Legion did not smile. His expression was of no-nonsense, he knew exactly what to do. "We'll take care of the troops."

"Just like old times, eh Sir?" Greedo smiled and placed his rifle on the ground, drawing back his cloak to reveal his saber hilt above his belt. AB_Legion raised his voice to the infantry.

"All ensign ranked personel will remain here and concentrate fire on those walkers!" his voice deep and menacing. "Those of higher rank will follow me on my signal!"

The Jedi drew their sabers from their belts.

"Ready" AB_Legion gave the command, "CHARGE!!"

On his word half of the ground force proceeded at sprint pace to meet the enemy. Darklighter was right beside AB_Legion, running with him, his saber still unignited. The enemy troop began running now. At the same time, the Jedi ignited there sabers, a spectrum of muticolour and light, blinding to see with magnificance and power. The first shot came, and AB_Legion deflected it back at its firerer. The two sides met, and Darklighter leapt over the first line to meet the second.

He flipped to the side as he threw his lightsaber at the troopers. as he landed, he kickedone of the troopers to the floor, and the saber returned to his hand. he backflipped again to avoid the shots fired at him, and cartwheeld before slicing two troopers at once.

After some time, he spied an unmanned speeder bike. Looking out now towards the enemy base far off, he jumped on the bike to race to it, evading the shots from the troops and walkers. It seemed to go on forever. The endless passing of the long grass about his feet, as he hovered, racing now even faster towards the enclosed military encampment. As he arrived, he leapt from the bike and walked slowly towards the bunker.

"I've been waiting for you" a voice came from behind. He turned to greet it.

Obi, do you think you could edit your post before my last long story and write how you escaped...I didn't see your post cos I was writing my story...sorry:(

edit - problem solved. Thanks:D

Divine Spirit

07-21-2002, 04:31 AM

I think we should take turns in writing the story so we dont have these problems.

I think Dark Academy writes section and then Light Academy and then Dark and so on.

The person on each academy to write the story is the one who claims it in the thread first. So you write a short message claiming it and if no one else has claimed it THEN you start to write the story.

Feel free to ask people in your academy you want to write next turn.

Do you all want to stick to this system?

Reb Starblazer

07-21-2002, 04:36 AM

Darklighter, here's an idea. Everywhere in your last two posts where you have Obi-wan, replace it with AB_Legion. It would kind of fit, because he's gone, and you guys would be surprised to see him. As for you idea Divine, it seems good. But as I don't know the grand scheme of things, I can't really decide what my part in it shall be. When I do come up with an idea, I'll try to keep it as low key as possible though. Part of the story, but not too big a part of the story, as I'm only a "minor" character, the story isn't revolving around me so much as it is around you and Obi. This is turning out great though, I must say.

EDIT: An example of what I'm talking about is where Obi-Wan appears and tells you to stay where you were. Just have it that AB appears and says something like "I thought Obi-Wan would have wanted you to stay here." Just improvise. As for Obi escaping, I'm sure he's got some plan and story arc up his sleeve:D

Darklighter

07-21-2002, 05:01 AM

I will continue my little story in just a second, about what happens to me.

BTW, Reb, you can really write about what you like. We haven't heard much of Death/Ice Squadron yet, so you could write a bit about them. Or you could go off at a tangent and write about your own story. I you want to, its perfectly fine with us:)

edit - afetr this is finished, we should definitely combine them all into chapters...that would be cool:D

Dath Maximus

07-21-2002, 05:03 AM

Im gonna make it short cause i dont have lots of ideas.

Arriving on the academy grounds Maximus leaves his condo lightsaber in hand.
"Perhaps today is a good day to battle!!" he cried.

Tossing his apprentice a e-11 blaster, he managed to yell out "cover me!"

Maximus began his way to obi-wan13.

Darklighter

07-21-2002, 05:30 AM

"It was foolish of you to come here, Darklighter" as he turned around slowly, the figure was in full view, standing at the entrane through which he had come. "You are only delaying your iminent death." It was Shadow Angel, Darth Dominance, Divine Spirit's sith lord companion. He was tall, his thick, long cloak pitch dark, his hood covering his face.

"You cannot win" he said in a low, foreboding voice that shattered the silence.

"We will see" came Darklighter's response. "You may have power, but you lack the spirit of a Jedi. You cannot foresee your victory while we are still alive, Shadow" his voice now deep, he was circling around shadow, his hand inches away from his saber hilt.

"You speak as if there is still hope left for your kind" he replied menacingly. "We will see if you are right, Admiral" he began to close in on Darklighter, they were both walking to confront each other. "You know you will not win this battle. The darkside is the only way out. Join us Tidus. You know it is the only option."

"The only option if you are weak enough to give in!" he shouted, as the tension mounted Shadow's face was grim and smirkless.

"Fool!!" he quickly drew his lightsaber. In a split second he leapt into the air towards Darklighter, his brandished red saber gleaming with malice. Darklighter was too quick. Before the saber could strike him, his orange-white saber was drawn to block the attack. They locked, Shadow's teeth gritted together, Darklighter's eyes glaring beneath his low brow. Shadow flung himself backwards to land on the ground a few metres away.

He ran at Tidus again, swiping to his left. He parried the attack, and ducked to avoid the next swipe across his head. Darklighter spun, circling in the air just in time to avoid Shadow's deadly upercut. He landed, and they faced each other again. Full of anger, Shadow ran at him, his blade high above his head, ready to strike. This he did not foresee. As he brought hi ssaber down as he ran, Darklighter dodged to the side. Everything moved in slow motion. Shadow ran passed and missed, and Darklighter brought his saber down upon his back.

With a cry he fell. "Curse you, and your Academy!" he yelped. The shuttle was just in time. It cruised overhead, guns ready, firing at Darklighter. he dodged them and dived behind the bunker out of view. Shadow crawled to his feet, and the shuttle ramp lowered.

"We will meet again!" He cried, as he climbed aboard the caft, injured and limping. Darklighter knew this was only the beginning. He would have to face him again, but not yet. Holstering his saber, he climbed aboard the speeder bike, and raced back to his comrades.

Dath Maximus

07-21-2002, 05:42 AM

Unless my double sith maximus shows up im gonna make him my nemesis.

Stepping out into the hallway of the main academy building Maximus met his double.
"we meet again Max" the Sith warrior said coldly.
Without acknologing this Dath pulled out his lightsaber using force pull. Instanly two blades clashed. One red one blue.

"You are strong old man!'' the nemesis cried
"far stronger than you'' maximus yelled back kicking the clone aside.

Shadow Angel

07-21-2002, 05:52 AM

OMG, there was like, 20 people here a once and I kep getting the "This page cannot be displayed" screen for 9 HOURS! AHHH!!!!!! Has anyone else had this problem? Well, I don't know if this chapter has become outdated or not, but here goes:

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

Space. The final frontier. A red planet, shimmering like a jewel, a deception of the fiery hell within. A black, silent ship jumped out of hyperspace in its orbit. The Sith Infiltrator, ferrying the Dark Lord, the Shadow Angel, sped towards a landing platform marked in the Emperor's special coordinates.

As the ship landed, a pair of blast doors in front of the platform opened, and two black-robed, hooded firgures emerged. The Dark Lord exited his craft, and one of the attendants spoke. "This way, my Lord. We have been expecting your arrival for a long time."

The three entered the facility, and the doors slammed shut behind them. Although he wasn't affected by it, Shadow could sense the searing heat inside. "Exactly why did you choose such a hot and uncomfortable planet as this to develop your weaponry here?"
"Simply because soldiers grow lazy in comfortable climate. They must learn to feel the heat of battle."

"Soldiers? I didn't come here to inspect another batch of stormtroopers--" the attendant quickly interrupted.
"Oh, our new clones are much more than mere stormtroopers, I can assure you." The three entered a turbolift. One attendant pushed a button, and they were off.

Shadow, not being one to ask a lot of questions, instead probed the attendant's mind through the Force. After a few moments, his eyes widened.

The turbolift stopped, and opened to reveal a catwalk reaching across the chasm of a volcano! Below were several platforms floating above the lava. On it, were thousands of hodded figures sparring against each other with double-bladed lightsabers.

Once again, the attendant spoke. "Many years ago, the great Darth Sidious built a clone army using a template of a bounty hunter. Although they made excellent soldiers, they still could not meet the Emperor's incrasing demands. We have remedied this problem by using the DNA of one of Sidious' strongest, most loyal apprentices, Khameir Sarin... but you might know him better as DARTH MAUL.

Indeed, my Master was wise to make this decision. "Before I make my final report, I would like to test out one of these clones personally." The attendant was a bit reluctant. "As you wish, my Lord, but I must warn you. You may not survive the test run. We've made certain enhance--"
"Just do it." And the attendant left Shadow at the catwalk.

Minutes later, the door at the other end opened to reveal a clone. The Maul clone removed his hood and cloak, then drew his double-bladed lightsaber and ignited each blade, one by one. Shadow ignited his own curved saber, it's purple blade, an untraditional color for both the Jedi and the Sith, glowing across his face. The clone immdeiately charged at Shadow and twirled his blade at him, but the Dark Lord easily blocked. The other side of the clone's staff immediately rushed to Shadow's face, but his keen sense of the Force acted as an alarm, aiding to block and parry each incoming strike. The sabers locked, and Shadow was surprised at the clone's strength as his blade kept coming closer to his face. However, the Dark Lord's mechanical strength in his arm kicked in and pushed the clone back off balance. A quick Force Pull brought him closer before Shadow brought his blade down on the clone's neck and decapitated him.

The attendant rushed back in. Shadow put away his saber, turned to face him, and said, "39 seconds. Most impressive. The Jedi will be overwhelmed by this elite fighting force. How many of these soldiers are prepared?"
"Two million, sir." Shadow grinned.

"Excellent. I want them sent to the Jedi Academy battleground at 0600 Coruscant time. Meanwhile, I have a personal agenda to follow. There will be no one to stop us this time!"

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

How's that? Good? I was typing for over 2 hours, but then my system crashed, and I had to start over. I was getting impatient, so I shortened it a lot. Note that "39 seconds" was the winning time at the JKII Gateway Challenge.

Reb Starblazer

07-21-2002, 06:44 AM

Warning*** Extreme long post alert *** Reader discretion is advised. :D

"Ice leader to Ice Three, come in Ice three."

"Ice leader, this is Ice three, Starblazer here"

"Starblazer, I'm taking Exterminator, WhiteDragon and Camus, and we'll be attacking from the north. You take Kordkelly, Darth Knight and s0ulbilhtr and attack from the south. We'll box in the remaining AT's, and then hit them harder than a Catharian moustrap." Captain Dissectional said.

"Agreed" Said Reb into his comm unit. "This is Ice three, Kordkelly, Darth Knight, Camus, you heard the man, form up into flight pattern Tango Echo niner. Time to play 'Hammer and Anvil'."

"Roger" the others all said at the same time.

The plan worked perfectly. While neither side had truly won the battle, Ice Squadron definetly had the upper hand.

"Whhooohoooooo" Darth Knight yelled as another AT-AT toppled to the ground. "Just like Shaak tipping" He exclaimed.

"I wouldn't know" Reb responded "My youth was wasted learning the Sith arts. I never had time to for anything fun like Shaak tipping" Reb finished as he made a run against the downed AT-AT, shooting it's vunerable neck. The AT-AT exploded into a ball of flames.

"HEY! NO FAIR" Yelled Darth Knight. " That was my kill" he responded more quietly this time.

"Alright, alright. The next one's yours" Reb laughed into the comm.

"Wait a minute" Kordkelly said over the comm. "You're a sith? What? Did I miss something here?"

"Yea, fill us in Leftenant" replied Camus

"Yea, I'm a Sith. Or at least, I was. I came to Obi-Wan's academy to find peace, I didn't want to fight anymore. I was tired of it all." Reb said. An AT-ST burst into flames to his left. "Nice shot Darth Knight. Obi-wan accepted me into his academy, as a shuttle pilot. It was a job where I wouldn't have to use the Force. That way, no one would really notice I was using the Dark Side. I have no connection to the Light Side of the Force. That doesn't make me evil, I just can't do it. Try to understand that this doesn't change who I am to you guys, or to this academy."

"We understand Leftenant. Don't worry." replied s0ulblihtr

"Alright, now, back to it." Said Reb as KordKelly attached the tow cable to an AT-AT's leg, Reb began to fly around the AT-AT, trying to trip it. "Just one more pass, one more pass" BAM! The speeder shook around him. " I'm hit, I'm hit! " Reb yelled. The sudden shock cause the tow line to become unattached as well.

"Is it bad? You gonna make it?" Asked WhiteDragon

"I'll be alright for now. But we can't take much more of this punishment. Concentrate on taking down those AT-AT's, they've got the most firepower."

"Good idea Leftenant. I agree. Alright Ice Squadron, move out"
Said Dissectional over the comm.

Two more AT-AT's were taken down, including the one Reb originally tried for. But now, the AT-ST's were becoming a problem. They were taking potshots at the speeders while they were tying up the AT-AT's.

" Starblazer, you and Whitedragon finish off those AT-AT's, the rest of us will start working on those chicken walkers.

"Roger that sir" Replied both Reb and Whitedragon, as the others took off to engage the enemy. Reb moved into position, ready to make a run against an AT-ST.

"Cover me Whitedragon." Reb ordered.

"Already on it sir." Replied Whitedragon cheerily.

The cord attached to the leg of the AT-AT, and Reb began circling around, attempting to tie it up. He had completed one pass around when...

"REB LOOK OU..." Whitedragon yelled into his comm as a stray bolt from an AT-ST connected with Reb's speeder. The speeder, began to spiral out of control, and Reb pulled tightly on the flight stick.

"This is Ice Three, I've been hit bad and I'm going down. I repeat, I'm going down. I'm going to try and get to the mountains in Tangu sector, at least that way we'll be out of the battlezone."

"Roger that Starblazer. Don't you go dying on us now, hear me?"
Dissectional said.

Reb couldn't help but smile despite the fact that he was quickly losing control of the speeder and approaching the ground.." Roger that sir. I'll take that as an order. Try not to get in too much trouble without me, and may the Force be with you."

"May the Force be with you too." Said Dissectional, the last transmission Reb would get before he hit the ground.

"Ohhhh..." Reb said aloud " this is gonna hurt

Well Darklighter, you asked for a story about Ice Squadron, and here it is. I hope none of you mind that I used your names in my post, and I hope I didn't write you guys too out of character:D

"It was foolish of you to come here, Darklighter" as he turned around slowly, the figure was in full view, standing at the entrane through which he had come. "You are only delaying your iminent death." It was Shadow Angel, Darth Dominance, Divine Spirit's sith lord companion. He was tall, his thick, long cloak pitch dark, his hood covering his face.

"You cannot win" he said in a low, foreboding voice that shattered the silence.

"We will see" came Darklighter's response. "You may have power, but you lack the spirit of a Jedi. You cannot foresee your victory while we are still alive, Shadow" his voice now deep, he was circling around shadow, his hand inches away from his saber hilt.

"You speak as if there is still hope left for your kind" he replied menacingly. "We will see if you are right, Admiral" he began to close in on Darklighter, they were both walking to confront each other. "You know you will not win this battle. The darkside is the only way out. Join us Tidus. You know it is the only option."

"The only option if you are weak enough to give in!" he shouted, as the tension mounted Shadow's face was grim and smirkless.

"Fool!!" he quickly drew his lightsaber. In a split second he leapt into the air towards Darklighter, his brandished red saber gleaming with malice. Darklighter was too quick. Before the saber could strike him, his orange-white saber was drawn to block the attack. They locked, Shadow's teeth gritted together, Darklighter's eyes glaring beneath his low brow. Shadow flung himself backwards to land on the ground a few metres away.

He ran at Tidus again, swiping to his left. He parried the attack, and ducked to avoid the next swipe across his head. Darklighter spun, circling in the air just in time to avoid Shadow's deadly upercut. He landed, and they faced each other again. Full of anger, Shadow ran at him, his blade high above his head, ready to strike. This he did not foresee. As he brought hi ssaber down as he ran, Darklighter dodged to the side. Everything moved in slow motion. Shadow ran passed and missed, and Darklighter brought his saber down upon his back.

With a cry he fell. "Curse you, and your Academy!" he yelped. The shuttle was just in time. It cruised overhead, guns ready, firing at Darklighter. he dodged them and dived behind the bunker out of view. Shadow crawled to his feet, and the shuttle ramp lowered.

"We will meet again!" He cried, as he climbed aboard the caft, injured and limping. Darklighter knew this was only the beginning. He would have to face him again, but not yet. Holstering his saber, he climbed aboard the speeder bike, and raced back to his comrades.

Whoa, guys, this thing has grown huge since I was gone. Nice story, Darklighter, but I kinda wanted establish my character first (I'm sort of a cross between Darth Vader and Tyranus). Oh, well. Let's see here.......

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

The Shadow Angel's shuttle quickly docked into his Super Star Destroyer in orbit around the planet. As the ramp lowered, the usual procedure of stormtroopers marching in formation around the craft took form, a bit hastily. Admiral Jericho, commander of the SSD Black Phoenix, rushed to greet the Dark Lord. To his shock, Shadow Angel's robes were tattered and torn, and he looked exhausted. As he limped out of the shuttle, Jericho said:

"L-L-Lord Dominance.... back so soon--"
"You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. My confrontation with Master Darklighter has turned with unexpected results. Now, if will excuse me, I will retreat to my quarters. I do not wish to be interrupted!"
And with that, Lord Dominance stomped off to his meditation chamber.

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

Upon entering, Shadow immediately removed his damaged Sith robes, revealing his buff, built torso, marred only by the immense scar on his back. But most disturbing, there was no blood. In it's place, was a myriad of tristed wires and metal. His arms, from the elow to the fingers, were also metallic, polished in chrome. The Shadow Angel did indeed rise from the ashes.... as a cyborg!
No matter, thought the young Dark Lord. A mere lightsaber wound cannot stop me from my hatred, my quest for vengeance.

My thirst for blood.

<All in good time, my young apprentice.> The Dark Lord raised his head towards the ceiling. "Master?"
<Yes, it is I, Divine Spirit. I have had to retreat from the Jedi forces, but my plans have not yet failed. You will go to my secret cloning laboratories on [censored! I can't tell you! But for story purposes I will call it Volcanic Cloning Planet.] The coordinates will be beamed to you shortly. There, you are to perform an inspection and certify them as ready for battle. You will be most impressed, I assure you.>

"As you wish, my Master." And with that, Lord Dominance rose from his seat. The scar that was once on his back was no more. It had completely healed. He opened a compartment in the wall on his chamber (the closet) and changed.

The cocoon of the chamber opened. What emerged, was a figure of terror, yet also resembling an icon of ultimate coolness. Donned in a leather trenchcoat, the Dark Lord ran his metallic claw fingers through his long, electric blue hair. His equally shiny, metal boots boomed across the polished floor. He approached Admiral Jericho.

"Admiral, prepare my personal craft at once. I will depart for [Volcanic Clong Planet]... alone!"

What do you think? Good?

obi

07-21-2002, 07:00 AM

....... Obi-wan! no!........................Move move move!..................... we cannot escape, we must surrender......................You are beaten.................

Obi-wan heard the different voices, all combined into one gargle of nonsense, and he didn't understand why he heard such things. He awoke from his coma, and sat up in a small interogation cell.

"HE's awake. Inform the emporer." Obi heard a man say.

Obi-wan looked around at the small room he was in. It was grey, and had only one door. His lightsaber was missing, which didn't surprise him much. After a few moments, The emporer and 4 Troops walked in, with black interogation droids.

"Now, we will find out all we need to know of your weak academy." The emporer said.

"What makes you think I will tell you anything?" Obi-wan asked.

"The truth serum was made by my top scientist, and is proven 100% to work. You will tell us what we want to know, whether you like it or not, and then, you will die. Along with your freinds." The emporer said, followed by a laugh.

The balck droid drifted closer to Obi-wan, with the needle sticking out, and it pierced his skin. Pain ran through Obi-wan's entire body, but he didn't show it.

"You are in pain. And I sense your hate building inside you. Your anger can be a powerful ally, obi-wan kenobi." The emporer said.

"I control my anger, it does not control me." Obi13 replied.

"In time, you will be dead. Your freinds beside you. You do not matter to me." The Emporer said.

"That's what you think. I am a threat to you, and you are afraid of me. " Obi-wan said.

There was a blank look on the emporer's face, as he gritted his teeth, and shot Obi-wan with lightning.

Obi-wan fell to the ground, and was trying to wear off the shock, but now the drugs where kicking in. The EMporer laughed.
_______________________________

Obi-wan layed in his cell, staring at the cieling, and meditating the best of his ability. A guard walked in the room.

"It's time. Come with me. NOW!" the guard said, as obi-wan nodded and stood, and walked as best he could out of the door to his death.

He looked desperatly around, to find an escape, but found nothing. He walked down the hall, the guard behind him, gun drawn. Obi-wan looked onto a nearby table, and saw an oxygen mask. He then acted like he tripped, and landed on the table. He quickly grabbed the mask, and tucked it into his robe.

"Sorry. The drugs still have an affect on me." OBi-wan said, and the guard nodded.

They continued to walk down the hall to an air lock.

"Get in." The guard said.

"Very well." Obi-wan said, as he took a step, turned, and knocked the guard flat on his back with the mask.

"Sorry about that." Obi-wan said, as he pulled the stormtroopers body away, and took his armor and blaster.

Dath Maximus

Dath Maximus slowly walked around the empty training hall, lightsaber drawn stretching out with the force to find his leathel opponent.
"You prepared to finish this fight Old man?" a voice echoed.
"of course i am, but you will find my power is greatly more than yours." he calmly replied.

Ducking before thinking Maximus narrowly missed a lightsaber being swung at him. jumping and slashing outward he once again regaind control of his environment.
The two blades clashed with a spark of light. Spinning and twrilling around the room, the two warriors used the force to propel all around them.
"it ends now!!" cried the sith raising his lightsaber high.
"yes it does" maximus said softly cutting down his assailent.

Standing over the dead body of his attacker Maximus sensed a stormtrooper nearby.
Using a mind trick on the hapless minion he persuaded him to take him to obi-wan13's location.

Darklighter

07-21-2002, 07:29 AM

That was great Reb. Really, really good stuff. I have more though:

After the last battle Darklighter was quite shaken up. Shadow had been a worthy adversary, and he was only in training...after 15 years of mastering these skills, he could feel Shadow's power and anger. It overwhelmed him.

The dark side really is strong he thought to himself, as he climbed towards the speeder. What if they are stronger? What will we do? It was not good to dwell on these thoughts, and with a shrug he banished the idea from his memory.

As he was just about to start the bike engines, voices could be heard, a couple of hundred meters beyond the entrance to the opening. Darklighter jumped off and crept with unheard stealth to the small forest patch near to where the voices were coming from, and ducked out of view. As he crept ever so closer, he caught a glimpse of a band of troopers, with an officer breifing them on the situation.

"We have word" the officer began again, "that there is a break in the Academy's defense." Darklighter drew closer and listened intently.

"The Emperor has informed me that there is a gap in the sheild. A precise hit will knock out the sheild generator. When this happens the Academy will be free of defene, and the bombers can begin their attack. Understood? Now move!" On his command the soldiers darted round the back of the forest patch into the opening.

To his amazement, hidden behind thebunker area, Daklighter saw, was a huge landing site, with ties stationed everywhere. He could have attempted to take them on, but even with his skill, he would be no match against two dozen blaster pistols. He watched the ties take off, the officer climbed aboard an interceptor, it cast a great black shadow as the merciless killing machine thundered overhead.

"Admiral Darklighter? Admiral come in!" a muffled voice came from the comlink on his belt. He grabbed and answered it immediately.

"Yes, I am here."

"Admiral, you must come back at once. The troops have made it into the hanger bay, and we have only just caught sight of Ice Squadron. There is one speeder missing!" the voice was that of a frightened Greedo.

Immediately Darklighter ran to the opening entrance and pulled out his small scanner binoculars. Quickly darting from one side of the large open plain to another, towards the mountain region, Darklighter spotted a crashed speeder. A figure had emerged and was now walking towards the mountainous regoin before him.

"I see it" he said down the com. The figure was dressed in dark cloak - it was Reb for sure.

"I'll meet you back there" he said again.

"Hurry Admiral, we need you now!" on that note, he jumped on the speeder and rode off towards the Academy.

Well, I believe it's the Sith Academy's turn to post. However, if no one does soon, I'll put up another part. I'll more than likely just edit this post.

Coming soon: Into the Dark
Soon to be seen in fine "Academy Wars" threads everywhere.
Oh wait, there's only this one...

BTW, nice story Darklighter. Your reference of me worked perfectly, and I'm going to try to find a way to connect my post to yours.

Darth Talliusc

07-21-2002, 08:17 AM

Darth Talliusc crouched in a dark chamber, he knew the droids would be upon him soon and he had yet to find the lightsaber his master had hidden in the temple grounds. BOOM! a missile launcher shot was fired, Talliusc knew he didnt have much time to get out of the way, he leaped through a nearby window and landed in a garden of zworrip bushes. trying to be as quiet as possible Talliusc crept along the garden edge towards a gatehouse, "my master Divine Spirit is wise and would not let this challenge be easy" thought Talliusc.

moments later on the gatehouse roof Talliusc spotted his lightsaber, its beutiful matte black handle glinted in the moonlight on a nearby pedestal. gathering his rage Talliusc leaped high and far along the grounds "the lightsaber is within my grasp, soon. SOON!" he thought desperately. as he approached however he realized that something was amiss. it was a trap. calling the darkside to him, Talliusc absorbed an onslaught of laser blasts from a squadron of droidekka's nearby, using his anger he called the lightsaber to his hand.... snap-HISS!!!! snap-HISS!!!! the double blade extended Talliusc knew no fear, he charged down the droids one by one and cut them to pieces. as the last droid blew apart Talliusc heard laughter "hahaha excellent my young apprentice, you have done well. the jedi will be no match for you".
"thank you master, i live only to serve" replied Talliusc
"soon when the jedi have committed against our feint attacks, we will launch our true strike, and none shall be left alive" laughing again Divine Spirit seemed to collaesce, and.... dissappear as if he was one with the darkness.

Keep the good stories comin' guys!

Darklighter

Reb, do you want to carry on your story? I would carry on mine but I posted my like last. So, does anyone else want to carry on? I'm not sure when Obi-wan will get here you see...

Reb Starblazer

07-21-2002, 08:37 AM

Another extremly long post by me. Who'd have thunk it?:D Hope you enjoy Talliusc. You too Divine.

Reb Starblazer awoke to every nerve in his being screaming out in pain. He pushed open the ****pit of the Speeder, and stood up. He turned around to check on his gunner, Kordkelly, and was surprised to find him gone. "Perhaps he woke up before I did and is already outside. Rather unlikely, but possible" he thought to himself. He stepped onto the speeders wing, and was surprised at how warm it actually was here. It was probably just below freezing temperature, so his jumpsuit was more than warm enough. "Well at least I won't freeze to death." He thought as he jumped down into the snow. That was when he noticed a man in dark robes standing there, staring at him. Reb's hand instinctively went for his Lightsabre, only to find it missing.

"Don't worry, I mean you no harm. Yet. I've come to make you an offer, on behalf of my emperor. I am Dark Talliusc, of the Sith Academy." The pale faced man said, lifting his hand to show Reb's Lightsabre in his possesion.

"I have no interests in offers from Sith. I know you're kind." Replied Reb.

"Indeed. And so you should for you are our kind. I can feel the Dark Side rolling off you. You know that you'll never truly fit in here. You don't belong, not with them" He answered, the last word rolled of his tongue with spite, the blood red tears, tattoed below his eyes, seemed to glow with hate.

"No, I don't. I truly don't know where I belong..." Said Reb, as an evil smile spread across Talliusc's face. "But I know where I stand." Reb continued, and Talliusc's smile faded.

" Then you stand on the path to destruction. You, and every Jedi that cowers before us, will die. It is your destiny as it is our destiny to rule." Talliusc said, his voice rising.

"Everyone dies eventually Sith" Reb spat out the last word with contempt. "But not everyone is lucky enough to die for what they believe in. As for my destiny ... I make my own." Reb finished, reaching behind his back for the blaster that he always kept there, attached to the belt of his flight suit.

"Not so fast Traitor." Said Talluisc as he stepped aside, revealing Kordkelly, legs and arms tied, laying on the ground. "I thought something like this would happen, so I planned ahead." He continued. Reb stopped his reach for the blaster, and brought his hand out somewhat, but still close enough to grab it if necessary.
"Oh how pathetically Jedi-like of you. Now then, I suggest you reconsider my offer. I may let him live."

"Don't do it Reb, you know he'll kill us both" Yelled Kordkelly

"Quiet Jedi, or I shall kill you right now. Your time is running out Starblazer. As is his."

"My name, is Darth Malice. And you shall soon see why" Said Reb, grabbing his blaster and firing a few shots at Talliusc while he dived behind a snowbank for cover. Talliusc's red Lightsabre snapped to life, and he deflected all the blasts. Reb hoped to draw Talliusc's attention long enough for Kordkelly to get away. Unfortunately, things do not always go to plan.

"Come out Traitor. Or your treachery will be paid for with his blood." Talliusc yelled. Reb knew that he had no choice. He stepped out from behind the bank, dropped the blaster and raised his hands. "Ah good." Talliusc said. "Now you can watch him die" Talliusc picked Kordkelly up by the hair, and Reb stared in horror as a red blade pierced through Kordkelly's chest, passing directly through his heart.

"No!" Reb yelled. "He was an innocent bystander, your quarrel is with me. Why?

"Because you couldn't" Talliusc said calmy as he extinguished his blade. Kordkelly's limp body dropped to the ground. Reb could feel the life drain out of him, becoming one with the Force. "So, what is your answer?"

"The same as it was before. I live my life as a warrior, and I am not afraid to die as one." answered Reb, as he started walking towards Talliusc.

"And what is a warrior without weapons?" Mocked Talliusc, begining a slow stride towards Reb. The two were about 5 feet apart when Reb spoke.

"A warrior still." Reb said, as he jumped into the air and connected with a surprise dropkick to Talliusc's chest, sending him, as well as his and Reb's Lightsabre into the air. Reb was on his feet first, and he rushed at Talliusc, tackling him to the ground. But Talliusc, grabbed Reb's flightsuit, rolled to his back, and threw him over him. Both got up at the same time. Reb and Talluisc faced each other, circling, waiting for the other to make the first move. Talluisc never was one for patience. He threw a punch at Reb, to have it blocked, and blocked one of Reb's in turn. He then spun on his heels, and shoulder threw Reb to the ground. Talliusc raised his foot to stomp on Reb's forehead, but Reb rolled to the side onto his stomach and caught Talliusc with a donkey kick to the face, knocking him on his back. Reb stood up slowly, while Talliusc kickflipped himself up off the ground. Talliusc's eyes shifted, and Reb knew what he was looking at. Talliusc used the force to call his Lightsabre to him, and ignited it. Reb, still unsure as to where his was, backed away, hoping to aviod the deadly strike of the lightsabre. Then he saw it. He saw his Lightsabre a few feet away on the ground. He jumped over Talliusc's swing, and rolled, picking his lightsabre up as he went.
He ignited it and turned around in time to block Talliusc's crimson blade with his own light blue. The two fought, blocks and parries abound, until their sabers locked. They pushed against each other, and neither gained leeway, and they split apart. Talliusc, then iginited a second crimson blade, an evil grin crossing his face. Then Reb activated his second blade, a forest green.
" Well met Starblazer "
"Don't call me that. You have even less right to speak that name then I do." Reb charged at Talliusc, spinning his lightsabre, a barrage of colours, creating a shifting circle of blue and green. Talliusc blocked Reb, and twisted his Lightsabre, hoping to catch Reb in the ribs. But Reb pushed off his inital swing and parried Talliusc's newest attack. Red met blue and green as the two dark siders battled, neither giving way to the other. Then, Talliusc saw his opening. He swung high, and brought his lightsabre down, hoping to catch Reb unaware. Instead, Reb leapt back, but Talliuscs blade cut through his sabre, splitting it into two. Reb, then took one of his sabres, and swiped at Talliusc, but caught his handle and split it. Now, both combatents were armed with two lightsabres. Blade met blade met blade over and over again, never relenting, never resting. Reb attacked low, and Talliusc high, as they simultaineously blocked each other. They each saw their chance. Reb, brought his left hand up, slicing Talliusc's right arm off at the elbow, while Talliusc brought his left blade down, slicing off Reb's right leg below the kneecap. Both fell backwards, lying on the ground in pain. In the process, Reb dropped both of his lightsabres, one of them tumbled down the icy hill. Talliusc stood, holding his right arm, now just a stump.
"You will pay dearly for that traitor. You will pay with your life."
He started walking towards Reb, lying on the ground, almost defenseless. " Don't judge yourself the winner before the deathblow is dealt." Reb retorted.
Talliusc laughed, a disturing sound. "Oh please. Look at you, you have no weapons, you can't even walk. What could you possibly do against me?"
Reb strecthed out with the Force, finding his remaining lightsabre, and used the Force to move it.
"Improvise" Reb stated coldy. With that, Reb's lightsabre sprang into the air and ignited. It flew toward Talliusc, and pierced right through his heart, the same as Talliusc's had earlier done to Kordkelly.
"No" Was all he could whisper, as he staggered towards Reb, crimson blade now ignited. He raised his blade over his head, and fell, right on top of Reb, the blade cutting Reb in half, from the top of his head down.

"NO!" Reb yelled as he awoke with a start. It was all a dream. A dream. Or was it a vision? A vision of things to come? His destiny. "No" Reb thought to himself, " I make my own destiny "
Reb quickly opened the ****pit and stood up,ignoring his aching body. He turned, relieved to find Kordkelly there, and still alive. He took off his flight suit, wearing the dark tunic and pants that were underneath. He took his cloak, and made sure his Lightsabre was on his belt. He picked Kordkelly up, and placed him over his shoulder. "You're not dieing today, not as long as I can help it" Reb said. With that, he started his long walk back to base, as a TIE Interceptor flew overhead.

So, how was that? I hope I put your character to good use Talliusc. And I hope I made him evil enough for your liking:p
Just in case you're wondering, I put that TIE Interceptor in there in order to "tie" in with Darklighter's post. Get it, tie? Sheesh, tough crowd:D As for why I like long, person oriented posts. Well, that's what Star Wars is all about. It's about one person's contribution in the grand scheme of things, showing that one person can make a difference, no matter who they are. As for the continuing tales of Reb Starblazer, if you think this was harsh, wait til you see my next post. But that'll be tomorrow. Sometime late tommorrow as I have to work from 9am to 6pm. I look forward to seeing how much this thread changes. BTW, please don't do anything too significant with my character while I'm gone. I have plans, yes, BIG plans for Reb. *Rub's hands together evilly* Well, everyone except Talliusc, he has permission.:D

Darth Talliusc

07-21-2002, 08:40 AM

He awoke with a start, he flailed out and immediately wished he hadnt, there was a horrible pain all along the outside of his skin, and it felt as if his very bones would burst if he moved again. agony, perfect agony. he looked around and tried to figure out where he was, he was floating upright in a bacta tank in a dark room. little else could be seen. "strange" he thought, most medical centers are brighter then this. his head started to burst with questions: "how did i get here?" "how am i going to get out?" "am i a prisoner of war?". that last thought jarred his memory, war. yes there was a war going on, but he had not been captured, no he would die before be captured, and the enemy wouldnt likely leave him in a room unguarded if they had managed to capture him anyway.
what had happened to him? he tried to think of his most recent clear memory... yes, he had been part of the assault on the jedi complex. he hadnt actually fought anyone, or had he? slowly his memory eased back into him and showed him what he had forgotten. he had commanded a section of the invading army's assault and had been angry that he was forbidden to cleave jedi. his master had wanted him there as an observer and director, not a frontline soldier.
it was all coming back now, he had watched as a speeder crashed into the ground near his position. there was something special about this speeder, YES. it was the speeder of Reb Starblazer. perhaps, thought the man, i can do my masters bidding sooner than i thought. he reached out with the force and found the unconscious form of Reb, "yes, this will please my master greatly if he can be turned". he connected his very soul to that of Reb, and came to him as if in a dream, to Reb it must have seemed as if this was actually happening.
"excellent" he said to himself allowing himself a small smile as he worked himself farther into Reb's mind. he manipulated Reb's thoughts, "hmm, this ones mental defenses are more complex than most jedi, no matter he is unconscious and should pose no problem".
"Don't worry, I mean you no harm. Yet. I've come to make you an offer, on behalf of my emporer. I am Dark Talliusc, of the Sith Academy." The pale faced man said, lifting his hand to show Reb's Lightsabre in his possesion.
"I have no interests in offers from Sith. I know you're kind." Replied Reb. "Patience, Talliusc scolded himself, he will bend, if not break"
"Indeed. And so you should for you are our kind. I can feel the Dark Side rolling off you. You know that you'll never truly fit in here. You don't belong, not with them" He answered, the last word rolled of his tongue with spite, the blood red tears, tattoed below his eyes, seemed to glow with hate.
"No, I don't. I truly don't know where I belong..." Said Reb, as an evil smile spread across Talliusc's face. "But I know where I stand." Reb continued, and Talliusc's smile faded,
"NO, Talliusc thought to himself, he is unconscious there is no way that he can resist me" he felt the anger swell up in him, but tried to make him appear serene to Reb.
Talliusc tried to convince Reb, but his will was iron."Then you stand on the path to destruction" Talliusc added. "You, and every Jedi that cowers before us, will die. It is your destiny as it is our destiny to rule." Talliusc said, his voice rising.
Reb was having none of this, thinking quickly with his sith mind Talliusc conjured an image into Reb's brain, he showed him his copilot on the ground, at Talliusc's mercy.
over the next few moments Talliusc got more and more discouraged, and more angry as well. "why isnt he bending knee?" thought Talliusc, "he should be groveling for my masters aid by now!".
They began to fight. Reb shouldnt be any match for a sithlord in a dreamscape that the sith controls. but alas, this Reb was not normal at all, indeed his mind was one of the most powerful of the jedi, that is why Talliusc was sent to turn him. as the fight drew to a conclusion Talliusc was surprised to see his arm chopped off, in a fit of rage he severed Reb's leg. "it is done, Talliusc thought, he cannot defy me anymore"
he slowly sauntered over to where Reb lay, and was shortly impaled by his lightsaber. "NOOOO!!!" this could not happen, before Reb could manage anything else Talliusc cleaved him in half and severed his mental connection.
"i have failed, and made the jedi stronger for it." he muttered to himself
"CAPTAIN" he yelled "get us out of here, were going back to Coruscant".

the rest of his memory was still hazy, if the battle was not real then how did Talliusc get so badly burned? and why was he in a bacta tank? he then saw an image through the bacta, a cloaked figure, an imposing visage even through the bacta... Divine Spirit had come to check on his apprentice. and the final memories clicked into place.
when Talliusc had reported his failure to turn the Jedi, the dark emperor had punished him, before Talliusc could even register that an attack was coming he was enveloped in sith lightning.
"YOU WILL NOT FAIL ME AGAIN DARTH TALLIUSC!" he spoke the words softly yet they rang in Talliuscs head, his master was not forgiving.
quickly his mind snapped back to the present, he raised himself out of the bacta tank as his master stood before him. "Have you learned your lesson Darth Talliusc?"
"Yes master, i will not fail you or the order again." even as he spoke he felt terrified, facing an army of jedi would be immensely more pleasant than seeing his master displeased again.

a silence hung in the air while Talliusc waited for his master to continue.

"very well, im sending you on another mission, you will travel to the system of Kessel and see that its spice mines step up production" his master paused then, "oh and fashion yourself a new lightsaber ive disposed of your old one. Do not fail again Lord Talliusc" he then left, collaescing into the night once more.

The ride to kessel was long but it allowed Talliusc to make himself a new weapon, "the jedi wont know what to do when they see this coming" he smiled to himself and thought of what he would do next time he met that cursed Starblazer.

so what do you think? sorry about stealing some of your stuff Reb, i just read your amazing story and had to continue it from another perspective. we should continue this rivalry of ours when you return from work tomorrow.

Darklighter

After riding on the bike for a while, Darklighter was drawing nearer to the Academy. He could see the hanger loom into view over the hill as he descended. But as he came over the ridge, he had to swurve aside to dodge the pile of rubble left from the attack before. A stray piece of metal struck the left engine. It spun out of control, toppling him off the bike and hitting him hard on the ground. He looked up just in time to see his bike crash in into the remains of a turret a hundred feet away.

"Dammit!" He shouted to himself. "Looks like I'm going the rest on foot then." As he raised to his feet, Darklighter began to glimpse the sheer horror of what was happening. About him lay the remains of the battle. Huge metal structures obliterated by wespons of destruction. All about the plane in which he stood lay remains of the Emperor's walkers, taken out by Ice Squadron only hours ago. The smoke still rose from the burning engines, the soot black as night against the dark blue midnight sky. He began to walk slowly, facing toward the Academy. It was still far away.

He hadn't gone ten steps before hearing a groan of agony to his left. He stopped and looked at the heap of machinery which it came from.

"Arrrrggghh!!" came the groan again. Darklighter raced to lift the heavy metal, revealing a figure pinned down underneath.

"XERXES!" yelled Darklighter, as he saw his Jedi comrade.

"Admiral!" came his desperate response. "Boy, am I glad to see you"

"Don't speak...I'll see what I can do" said Darklighter, as he spotted the wound in XERXES' side. It was a large gash, about a few inches wide. "I can help" he said again. XERXES stayed calm, as Darklighter placed his hand over the wound. With the power of the force, he managed to heal it a little.

"Hang on" he said to him caringly.

"They took him!" said XERXES desperately in a deep breath. "Agen, they took him! To a bunker a few leagues to the west. You have to hurray.

Removing his comlink from his belt, Darklighter proceeded to contact the Academy base. "We read you Admiral " said the voice of Greedo no the other end. "Bring ground forces to pick up XERXES. He is injured at the site of the furthest AT-AT from the Adademy. Hurry! I ned to make my way back to the Academy."

"But..." Greedo's reply was cut short. Darklighter leant down again. "Just hang on. They'll be here soon."

"Good luck" said XERXES smiling. "May the force be with you."

Darklighter nodded, and headed towards the Academy. You could sense the presence of his Master, and needed to hurray. There was much to talk about.
