Grandmaster Bane Anded was guarding the weapons room, when he sensed a presence approaching. Acting quickly, he shielded his force signature and stepped into the shadows, holding himself still and rendering himself practically invisible.
The cloaked figure approached the weapons room, and looked around for Bane Anded. The figure ignited its purple lightsaber, holding it in the Djem So style. After several blind swings, the cloaked figure disengaged the lightsaber and left.
__________________________

Master Va'ard Kypaz stood in the Hangar Bay, keeping watch over the area. He sensed several figures approaching.... seven of them.
Acting quickly, he began to meditate and strengthen his mind, and he prepared himself for the feats of acrobatics he was about to unleash. The assassins came from both airlocks, cutting off any escape route.
Kypaz ignited his purple lightsaber, and stood in the Djem so stance, the perfect counter to multiple attackers.
The first assassin ignited a dark blue lightsaber, and stood in the Soresu form.
The second assassin ignited a lime green lightsaber, and stood in the Djem so form.
The third assassin ignited a dark blue lightsaber, and stood in the Ataru form.
The fourth assassin ignited a turquoise lightsaber, and stood in the Djem so form.
The fifth assassin ignited an emerald lightsaber, and stood in the Soresu form.
The sixth assassin ignited a lime green lightsaber, and stood in the Makashi form.
The seventh assassin raised its hands, which began to crackle with power.
Va'ard Kypaz: "It's been an honor serving with you all, my fellow Jedi. I hope you won't mind if I don't just lie down and take this like a punk?"
Seventh assassin: "You're welcome to try and stop us."
Va'ard Kypaz: "I'll die trying, my friends...."
With that, Kypaz flashed a grin, and dove straight into the middle of the fray, allowing the force to guide his motions. The first assassin moved cautiously forward, and held the dark blue saber in front vertically like a shield in the Soresu stance, and prepared to deflect any attacks from Kypaz.
The second assassin also moved in, holding its green saber high in the Djem so form, delivering a barrage of swings, and easily deflecting Kypaz' purple saber. Kypaz held off the first assassin with ease, but struggled to fend off the second, which reached deep into the force and unleashed force valor.
The first assassin threw one of its dark blue sabers in the air, and ignited a second one. A pile of cargo containers was flung in the direction of Kypaz, who dodged them with an artful series of stunning flips and dodges. Kypaz shattered the airborne lightsaber and continued fighting valiantly.
Thinking quickly, Kypaz unleashed a brilliant beam of protons in the direction of the second assassin, who deflected the stream of particles with ease, and unleashed a powerful force wave, sending Kypaz flying against the duranium plating on the far wall. Reacting instinctively, Kypaz landed feet first against the wall, and vaulted himself back into the battle, landing between the third and fourth assassins.
The third assassin launched itself toward Kypaz, delivering a spinning series of aerial attacks in the Ataru style.
Kypaz deflected these attacks as best he could manage, but the overpowering attack knocked his lightsaber out of his hands. It was all he could do to dodge the fatal cut, perform a backflip, and use the force to summon his lightsaber back into his hands.
The fourth assassin unleashed a proton beam at Kypaz, who scattered the beam with ease with his lightsaber. The assassin continued, and delivered a powerful combination in the Djem so style, which Kypaz deflected, also in Djem so. He backed away from the advancing attackers, forcing them to attack, which allowed Kypaz to counter as Djem so intended.
Kypaz unleashed counter-torrent of protons at the assassin, who deflected it with ease with its lightsaber. Kypaz did a backward leap out of danger, landing between the fifth and sixth assassins.
The fifth assassin advanced in Soresu, swinging the shimmering emerald blade with quick, precise strikes, which Kypaz deflected with ease. The assassin reached deep into the force, and doubled its speed and strength, but still Kypaz simply kicked the lightsaber out of the fifth assassin's hands, delivered a roundhouse kick to the temple of the cloaked figure, knocking it unconscious, and then focused on the sixth assassin.
The sixth assassin approached in the Makashi style, brandishing a lime green saber. Kypaz easily deflected the smooth, flowing swings of his attacker, and quickly knocked the lime green blade out of its hands, and delivered quick punch to the face of this assassin, sending it skidding across the hangar deck.
The seventh assassin finished charging up a massive amount of force energy, and unleashed it in the form of Chain Lightning. Kypaz angled his saber toward the seventh assassin in the Djem so style, and attempted to draw all the force lightning into his saber. The hellish storm of electrons hit Kypaz from all angles, and the Jedi screamed in pain and agony, trying to focus his mind. Swinging his saber around, and using his mental focus to direct the lightning toward his blade, all of the energy of the attack was re-directed toward his shimmering purple lightsaber.
The seventh assassin began charging up dark energy.
By now, the first assassin had returned for more, with the second dark blue saber held in the Djem so form. Kypaz switched to the Soresu style and continued.
They fought a close battle, and the assassin threw the second saber in the air, which the Jedi promptly shattered. Fuel containers were hurled at Kypaz by this first assassin, and Kypaz did a sideways dodge, and a handspring backflip, and avoided the heavy containers of fuel, and deflected several more with his saber.
The first assassin, unarmed, fled the scene. The second assassin also fled the scene.
The seventh assassin continued charging up dark energy.
The third assassin approached again, this time trying Soresu, but Kypaz quickly shattered the dark blue saber and kicked the assassin in the head, knocking it unconscious.
The fourth assassin was standing nearby, and was now also standing in Soresu. Kypaz easily shattered the lime green lightsaber and punched the assassin in the face, knocking him out cold. It landed next to the fifth assassin, who was still unconscious.
Now there were only two assassins left remaining. The seventh assassin was nearly finished charging up dark energy.
"Is this the best you've got? I'm Va'ard
ing Kypaz!"
The sixth assassin centered himself and summoned his saber back to his hand, and unleashed a second green saber. This time, the sixth assassin approached in an advanced Niman form.
Unleashing Force Valor, the sixth assassin delivered an elegant combination of swings, quickly overpowering the Soresu defense, and cutting off Kypaz' hands at the wrist. Now Kypaz was totally unarmed.
Desperate, he had to do the only thing he could do, which was escape. Reaching deep into the Force, Kypaz delivered an flying leap over the heads of the two remaining assassins....
The sixth assassin jumped as well, delivering a series of lethal cuts to Kypaz as he flew through the air. His shredded body was then hit by a gigantic blast of dark side power....
The blast incinerated the mortally wounded Jedi. The Dark Side energy ripped the life out of Kypaz, leaving nothing but a smoking husk of shredded meat, which splattered all over the deck plating.
The seventh assassin began glowing with brilliant energy. The Penance experienced a momentary loss of power, and then all systems came back online.
Master On-so C'ba was returning to his quarters late that night, when a cloaked figure approached him. The cloaked figure raised its hands and began roaring triumphantly.
Within seconds, the dark figure used the force to channel the sonic energy into a concentrated blast, which increased in power and intensity. On-so attempted to flee the battle as quickly as possible, tapping into the force and doubling his speed and strength, but it was too late. A field of dark energy surrounded On-so, and he felt weak, he felt sick, and he felt disoriented. The dark figure fired the destruction beam at On-so, and the deck plating and the bulkheads began to tear apart.
On-so shielded himself with a bubble of the Force, and tried with all his might to hold the protective field, but it began to buckle. The shield shattered, and On-so C'ba was ripped apart by the beam, and the remains were sent scattering into space.
There was now a massive hole in the lower starboard side of the ship, and the deck began to decompress. The structural integrity force fields responded, and the hole in the ship was closed before the dark figure could be blown out into space.
The dark figure moved on.

Master Kel Dih-Mar was returning to her quarters as well, when she was approached by a dark figure. She attempted to use the force to lift the assassin in the air and then toss it around, but the dark figure waved a hand, and canceled the maneuver. Kel Dih-Mar felt herself enveloped by a dark field of energy, and she felt sickness, nausea, and disorientation. All around her, and indeed, all around the Penance itself, there was a horrifying vortex of dark power, centered around Master Kel Dih-mar. She tried to use Force Push to knock the assailant away, but the Force had been drained completely out of her... she turned to run but it was too late. She felt the life being drained from her, and she lost consciousness. The dark side had consumed her in a maelstrom of death.
The dark figure began to laugh maniacally, relishing the death of the Jedi. Its booming voice could be heard from one side of the ship to the other.

Suddenly, a figure made out of light appeared before the Council. It was Jedi Master Va'ard Kypaz, back from the Netherworld of the Force. Even though he was not exactly as he once was, the other Jedi welcomed him back, and would count his vote even though he was deceased.

Bane Anded: "It appears I was mistaken. Master Va'ard Kypaz was not a Sith Master or even a Sith Lord at all. I am afraid we might have committed a critical error in attacking Master Kypaz. Fortunately, Master Kypaz is not gone, for he continues to advise us through the Force, and we welcome his judgment and wisdom on all matters before the Council.
It seems I was also attacked last night, but I was able to remain hidden. Masters Kel Dih-mar and On-so C'ba were not so lucky, as they were both slain. Fortunately as well, Master Dih-mar is not gone either, and she continues to advise us through the Force. We welcome her judgment as well.
But I am not certain we have been defeated, fellow Jedi. I feel certain in fact that we have not been beaten yet. It is always darkest before the dawn. And a new day has dawned.
I say this to you, urgently, you MUST bring me a Sith Lord today. I will not accept the loss of any more Jedi. Do you all understand?"
The remnants of the Jedi Council nodded quietly, and began to commune with the Force and discuss this matter.
