Here goes chapter 3
Chapter 3: The Coming of Evil
Malurk and Max rushed outside the hanger. As they thought, a ship had crashed right outside
the hanger. But it didn't look like an ordinary crash, it looked like a controlled crash. As
they were surveying the crash, they were ambushed! Max and Malurk drew there lightsabers,
activated them, and whirled around in defence, catching both enemies lightsabers inches from
their body.
"Who are you and why did you attack us?" Malurk demanded.
"I am Lord Kvash, and this is my loyal apprentice, Migumi." Kvash stated.
"Well, it looks like you want to fight, well I say, bring it!"
Malurk took a swing at Kvash, who easily blocked it, then kicked Kvash, a spontaneous action
even he was not expecting, he was thinking that was the force acting for him. The kick
knocked Kvash of balance, toppling him to the ground, but instead of taking a quick final
slash and killing him, he decided to save Max, by throwing his lightsaber quickly, he
slightly clipped her in the side, not making her incapable of defending herself, but making
it possible for Max to live fighting her. Malurk then focused on Kvash.
Malurk jumped into the air, then at the hight of his jump, he did a backflip onto the ruins
of Kvash's purposely crashed ship, thus, making Kvash have to jump up to meet him. In this,
Malurk threw his lightsaber at where Kvash was, obviously knowing he was jumping as he did
so, and leaving himself unarmed. Then, Kvash eying the sith lord that he is, flew at Malurk
with all his arger, then coming threateningly close to him, being the first time opponent of
Malurk, Kvash did not know that with new opponents, he tended to use a surprise attack with
his lightsaber throw from behind. Kvash focusing completely on Malurk, did not sense the
lightsaber coming from behind him to it was too late, but he did manage to save his own
life. By ducking, Kvash was only sliced ever so thinly on his right shoulder.

Meanwhile, Max was stuck in a fierce lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat with Migumi. Max
slashed vertically, his hopes were then dashed as he was blocked by a vertical red
lightsaber. He swung again, this time from below, but at the last minute, jumping and
throwing his lightsaber at the same time, and while she deflected part of the lightsaber, it
went out of control and sliced off her left pinkie. Migumi screamed out in pain, but did not
forget the battle, she slammed her lightsaber against Max's returning one and doubling its
speed, one again making it fly wildly off the handle, and it cleanly severed Max's right
hand off, through his clone body armor. He didn't flinch as he expertly threw his lightsaber
into his other hand and defended himself. Though he did not scream in pain, Migumi saw the
pain in his eyes. She suddenly stopped fighting.
"I have done my damage here," she told him. "I refuse to kill you, even if you are the
exine. I will even ease your pain with my force powers."
"Thank You..." Max replied. "You are truly an honorable fighter. I have a question for you,
would you like to join me and Malurk?"
"No, I have a master..." said Migumi doubtingly. "Lord Kvash is my master."
"Well the offer is always open... As I'm sure Malurk will agree."
Migumi started to leave...
"No, wait... I want you to have this kolto I pocketed in a republic medical facility, it's
for you wound on you side."
"Thank You as well, Max, this will heal it perfectly. And I will keep you offer in mind."
"Leave me be so I can help Malurk please..." Malurk said painfully. "Beautiful..." Max added
at softly.

Malurk grabbed his lightsaber after it sliced Kvash's shoulder. He swung again, blocked!
Then again, blocked! Malurk had sensed Max's defeat and was now angry. He went on a wild
flurry of attacks against Kvash. Each and every one was blocked, over and over Malurk tried
and tried, with no success. He was slowly forced backwards and backwards, until Malurk was
on the edge of the platform they were standing on. Malurk then jumped very low, then slammed
his lightsaber into Kvash's, buckling his arms, making them collapse onto his chest, making
him drop his lightsaber. Malurk quickly picked it up and reignited it.
"Now you die Kvash, it's a pity, really. You are a sith lord, and I am a mere Clone Trooper
Jedi, yet I destroyed you so easily..." Malurk said to Kvash.
At that very moment, Malurk had let his guard down. Kvash saw his chance, and he took it to.
Kvash used force lightning on Malurk. Malurk, surprised, was electrocuted, but due to
Kvash's low amount of strength left, he could not kill Malurk. Malurk looked disgusted.
"I am about to kill you, and you have the nerve to defy me?! You are looking to die." Malurk
yelled.
Malurk raised his lightsaber and the one he stole from Kvash in the shape on an X. As he was
about to slice Kvash's head off, he was interrupted by Max's screaming voice.
"Max?!" Malurk yelled.
Kvash took this as yet another chance to kill Malurk, but he had learned from his last
mistake, the limits of his current power left, so he took a different approach. Kvash
decided to guide his lightsaber back to his hand out and out of Malurk's. He had succeeded.
Malar was alerted to his senseless deed by the lack of his stolen lightsaber. Malurk spun
around and caught Kvash's lightsaber just as before. Malurk could not believe that Kvash
stood up, let alone started fighting again. It was then that Malurk sensed the true amount
of power that Kvash possessed. Once again, Malurk's and Kvash's lightsabers clashed. This
time, with more determination. Kvash struck to the right, Malurk blocked it and forced Kvash
back. Then Malurk made a counter attack and made an overhead slash at Kvash. Kvash blocked
it, then slung it away from Malurk. Quickly then, he stabbed Malurk in the shoulder. Malurk
screamed in agony. Kvash ran. He ran despite his many injuries. He ran because of his desire
to live. He ran to his flagship that had landed on the other side of the hanger.
****
When Kvash arrived at the ship, he saw Migumi was already there, with a medical droid
tending to a wound on her side. He told the medical droid to heal his wounds...
****
Malurk ran to find Max, and found him there, looking for him as well.
"We must get you to a medical facility!" they said in unison.
They continued on, helping each other, trying to get to the military hospital not to far
away.
****
Much later...
Malurk's wound on his shoulder had been healed and Max had been fit with a mechanical hand.
As for Kvash and Migumi, they had both recovered, but an interesting conversation was
starting between them...
"Well, is the clone jedi dead?" Kvash asked Migumi.
"No, I spared his life, it was the honorable thing to do, I had already severed his hand,
rendering him unable to fight me, so I left him there." replied Migumi, not mentioning her
easing of his pain or his comments and giving her the kelto.
"Did I not tell you to kill him?!" yelled Kvash infuriated.
"Yes, but..."
"No, I told you to kill him!"
"But master..."
"No leave me."
"As you wish master."
The next day, Kvash woke up, only to be told that one of the escape pods was gone, no one saw who took it, and Migumi was not in her chambers...
