Nomi Sunrider gathered the Jedi Council together, inviting the Jedi Padawans and Jedi Initiates to participate in this most urgent discussion as well.


"You all know why we are here. It seems that the Sith were not all destroyed when Sith Lord Kyp Durron was blown out into the vacuum of space, as I originally thought. Somehow, somewhere in the galaxy, there still must have been at least one Sith still standing. But we know from the security recordings that there are at least two now, a Master and an Apprentice. These Sith killed Masters Vrook and Vandar while they were viewing the Sith Holocron. That Holocron has now been stolen as well. With the communications disruption, and other attacks on the defense systems of Coruscant, we know that they are planning to invade. While we are out of communication with nearby Star Systems and sensor grids, the corridors between Star Systems are now dangerous to travel. There could be rogue comets or asteroids, pockets of metreon gas, or other bits of space debris which are no longer being identified by the sensor network. If our ships travel through Hyperspace and end up colliding with any of these pockets of matter, there won't be anything left of our ships.

As such, we are alone. The Republic has been at peace for so long, and the Senate has not approved the use of Galactic funds for a garrison defending Coruscant, that we are the only capable Star Destroyer within range of the Capitol. That means it's up to us to defend Coruscant with our lives. There are several hundred Jedi Fighters in the Hangar Bays, and this ship is equipped with the most powerful shields the Republic has ever built. Even by ourselves, we are a formidable defense. But we suspect that the Sith have somehow sneaked aboard, and that presents a grave danger to us all, and a grave danger to the Republic. This is an emergency situation. We believe the Sith are actually some of our own... though it pains me to say it, I witnessed the power of the Dark Side firsthand in my last encounter with the Sith. In the end, the Jedi had turned against themselves. The Dark Side will turn our friends and allies against each other, and it must be stopped, whatever the cost.

I have communed with Grandmaster Yoda, who spoke to me from the Netherworld of the Force. He told me that for lack of better options, we must keep our faith in the Light Side of the Force. He reminded me of what I said the last time this happened... 'a Jedi's life is sacrifice'. These words will have new meaning for you today. We must search our feelings, and trust them to guide us down the path. If we sense that one of us has turned to the Dark Side, then we must act immediately. The survival of the Republic is at stake. We must take the most drastic measures to rid ourselves of the Sith. If it has been determined by a plurality of the Jedi Council, including the Padawans and Initiates, that one of us is a Sith Lord, then they are to be captured and dragged to the nearest air lock, and cast into space. I seem to remember that last time, this did not always kill our Sith foes, and we needed to repeat the exercise until they were finally put to rest. But if necessary, some of us are currently armed with lightsabers. If we must resort to violence to bring the Force back into balance, then we must. Some of the more rigid rules of the Jedi Code are going to be relaxed for the duration of this mission. If we do not stop the Sith, there will be no more Jedi to obey the Code anyway.

Begin making your accusations. I must retire to my quarters and meditate on this some more. Tonight, I will ask some of you to come train with me in a secluded location of the ship, and I will teach you more from the Jedi Holocron. May the Force be with us all."



With that, she turned and walked to the turbolift, accompanied by two Jedi Masters. The other Jedi began to discuss who among them might be guilty.

Nomi Sunrider, Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Nomi Sunrider gathered everyone together, next to one of the unused hangar bays. Through the airlock, it opened up into a huge contained space, where larger shuttles would dock. In that chamber, the only thing separating the pressurized environment from the vacuum of space was a vast force field, and the massive hangar bay doors. Nomi entered her security password, and the hangar bay doors began to open.


"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.

The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out that they were undecided, having narrowed it down to two potential candidates. Neither candidate managed to garner very many votes, either. Many Jedi abstained from voting altogether, seemingly unconvinced that this path was the correct way to solve the mystery of the Sith.

"No we have not, Grandmaster." said the ranking Jedi Master.

"Who are the leading candidates?" Nomi said.

"Mas Amdu Kof, and Jacin Sky, your grace."

"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend themselves." Nomi said, and motioned for the two suspects to plead their case.

Jacin Sky: "This Reptilian scoundrel is no true Jedi. He seems to fear death. Fear leads to anger, and he has shown himself to be very angry with this entire proceeding!"

Mas Amdu Kof: (puffing his cheeks) "This is an outrage! The Hyoo-mon is provoking me! The only reason why he's even accusing me is because a bunch of others accused him. It is not I, Grandmaster, who fears death, but him! I am ready to give my life for the Jedi Order." (Mas Amdu snaked his tongue out at Jacin Sky, and flicked it up and down)

Nomi Sunrider shook her head. "Is this any way for Jedi to behave? Control yourselves, gentlemen. How do we resolve this situation? I wanted a clear decision, and I'd rather not leave the life of a Jedi up to a matter of chance."

Mas Amdu Kof: "I've been preparing for this moment since I began growing this beard. Allow me to settle this with a lightsaber, Grandmaster Nomi. May the better Jedi prevail." (puffing his cheeks)

Jacin Sky: "Grandmaster, I do not agree with this course of action. This is barbarism, pure and simple."

Nomi Sunrider nodded. "I do not like resolving things this way, Master Sky. That is why I asked for a clear plurality, so that we could perform this necessary act in the most civil and non-violent way possible. Instead, you have forced my hand, and because I do not gamble with the lives of fellow Jedi, this matter can only be resolved in a contest of skill with the lightsaber and knowledge of the Force. May the Force be with you, Master Sky."

Nomi turned and addressed Kof. "I will grant your request, Master Kof. You may borrow my lightsaber for this contest; may the Force be with you as well. Here are the ground rules: You must both enter the hangar bay from opposite ends, taking with you only your lightsabers and your knowledge of the Force. You will not tear this ship apart in your duel, focus only on each other. When your opponent yields, I encourage you to follow the Jedi Code and spare his life. However, if you feel your opponent will stop at nothing to kill you, you may defend your life with necessary action. You will not prolong his suffering, but make a clean cut which brings instant and painless death. Is that fully understood, gentlemen?"

Both combatants nodded grimly. Nomi handed Mas Amdu Kof her green Lightsaber. Jacin Sky flew down the corridor to the opposite end of the hangar bay, to approach from that end.

Lightsaber Battle: Raskolnikov versus pevergreen

Click for Music

Jacin Sky entered from the port side of the hangar bay, and Mas Amdu Kof entered from the starboard side. The hum of the force field several hundred feet away, and the roar of the life support systems overhead were the only sounds to be heard. Mas Amdu Kof bowed respectfully to Jacin Sky, and then ignited Nomi Sunrider's green lightsaber, and curled up into a meditative stance, focusing mind and body for battle.

Jacin Sky stood in a standard Form III defensive pose, saber above his head, and waited for the reptilian creature to get on with it. Without warning, the snake-like creature uncoiled, and rushed in a zig-zag pattern across the empty hangar bay with blinding speed. Jacin had no way of knowing if the creature would attack from the left or the right. Reacting quickly, Jacin Sky performed a backward force-assisted leap, braced himself against the port side of the hangar bay, and launched himself over the head of the twin-tailed Kof. Mas Amdu swung the brilliant green saber, missing Jacin Sky by mere inches.

Mas Amdu turned around, easily rotating his limber body 180 degrees without a moment's hesitation, and located his opponent in the middle of the hangar bay, still in the Form III defensive pose, this time seemingly ready for his attack. The two combatants rushed one another, and the green sabers met each other with the familiar clashing noise. Mas Amdu Kof was clearly the aggressor, pressing Jacin Sky backward. Jacin, for his part, deflected the reptilian's attacks with ease, giving ground but matching him swing for swing with a minimum of extra movement.

Jacin suddenly looked left, with surprise and alarm, sensing danger. Mas Amdu felt it too, and twisted his body around suddenly to meet the new threat, lightsaber at the ready.... but nothing was there. Taken by surprise, Mas Amdu felt the searing heat of a lightsaber slicing clean through one of his tails. Mas Amdu roared with contempt, and twisted around before Jacin Sky could do any further damage, meeting his lightsaber before it made the killing blow.

"That will grow back, you know. I can't say the same for your appendages when I am finished with you, Sky." growled Kof.

"Yield now. There's nothing left to prove here."

"This is only the beginning!" shouted Kof, who tapped even deeper into the force.... summoning Force Valor. He continued the assault on Sky, but the balance of power had shifted. Mas Amdu was moving faster and more aggressively than before, and his movements were more precise, more deadly, and more difficult to deflect. Jacin Sky tapped into his more advanced training, and dodged ever more swiftly and performed more agile maneuvers to duck the wild, powerful swings of his opponent. One such swing grazed his hair, burning off a few inches of it. That one could have been lethal.

"You've become very strong, Kof.... but your training is incomplete. You must yield! Now!" demanded Sky.

"You're one of them, Sky! You're one of the Sith, and I will prove it to them. You cannot deceive me, hyoo-mon! You're going to pay for the Jedi you've killed!" roared Kof.

"That's enough!! I order you to stand down!" barked Sky.

"Never! I will not be commanded by Sith SCUM!!!!" replied the reptilian, forcing Jacin Sky into a corner of the hangar bay, and raising up on his long, muscular tail, towering over Jacin Sky, reaching several meters in height, blocking all escape routes. There was no way out but through. Kof swung Nomi Sunrider's green saber as hard as he could, and Jacin Sky closed his eyes.

The lightsaber deflected off of Jacin Sky's shoulder, causing a deep wound, but not cutting clean through. The sudden impact jerked the green saber backward in Mas Amdu Kof's hand, causing him to lose his grip. His reptilian claws could not grip the unfamiliar blade properly. Jacin Sky wasted no time, bringing his own saber through the wrist of Mas Amdu, then twisting his body and delivering a horizontal cut which separated the huge reptilian from the lower half of his body. Nomi's lightsaber went clattering to the ground, as the reptilian man tried to slither out of range of Jacin Sky's attack. The reptile reached out with the Force, and pulled the lightsaber back to him with his remaining hand, igniting it as it reached his grip. He rolled over to see Jacin Sky flying through the air, landing directly over his prone body, delivering another clean cut, removing the reptile's other hand. Mas Amdu Kof spat furiously at his Jedi opponent, and vowed that it wasn't over.

"I am not finished with you, Sky! In just a few moments, I'll have all my limbs back, and then I will have my revenge."

"When did you lose your way, Kof?" demanded Sky.

"It's not me who has lost his way, hyoo-mon! Do it, you coward.... you found your way to escape death, but you cannot fool me. Now show the Jedi your true nature.... finish me!"

"It's not the Jedi way. It's not my way." said Sky.

"Liar." hissed Kof, just as his tail began to regenerate, and summon his lightsaber again. The weapon landed tightly in the coiled grip of the bearded reptilian, who looked at Jacin Sky with victorious eyes.

The sound of a lightsaber cutting through flesh, and another clattering to the ground, echoed throughout the hangar bay. The Jedi had been slain.

_________

Jacin rolled back to his feet, and looked back at his fallen opponent. He had delivered the killing blow just in time, and removed the reptile's head cleanly. His shoulder was a little worse for wear, but it was nothing that the medical droids couldn't fix. He bowed to his fallen opponent, and switched his saber emitter off, and collected Nomi Sunrider's lightsaber from the hangar deck, and walked back to her to return it.

NOTE: All genders will be referred to as "he" for the purposes of maintaining both a readable story and keeping true identities hidden. If gender becomes apparent, it will be reflected in the writeup, but unless otherwise stated, "he" could mean male or female. Blame the English language for having very few gender-neutral pronouns to choose from. Further, Sith are not above using male or female identities as cover roles. Gender means nothing in this game.

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Wednesday, October 27th, Eastern Time USA

Kerren Kae was heading back to his quarters after training under the tutelage of Nomi Sunrider. There was just enough time left before the morning shift to get some sleep. It had been a long and stressful day. He felt as if he was being watched, so he began to hurry. When he turned the corner and started down the next corridor, he looked up and he saw that the corridor lights had been disabled, and a cloaked figure blocking the hall. The being ignited its lightsaber, and a brilliant red glow illuminated the corridor.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Kerren Cae was not armed with a saber, and turned around to retreat the way he came, down the side corridor, but the blast doors slammed shut as if commanded by an unseen power. The dark figure approached, holding his blade in a classic Form I pose. Kerren Cae bolted down the main corridor in the opposite direction, but the blast doors on the far side were shut as well. "What's wrong, Jedi? Forget your lightsaber?" laughed the dark figure. Kerren Cae dropped to the floor and began to meditate. "Not even going to fight back? What a joke. Very well, if the little bantha wants to be slaughtered, that's fine with me." The dark figure cackled as he advanced, swinging the crimson blade, gouging holes in the duranium deck plating with ease, showering the meditating Jedi with sparks. The creature raised his blade, and prepared to impale it straight through Kerren Cae's chest, when suddenly Kerren's eyes opened and he rolled to the side, missing certain death by the tiniest fraction of a second. Kae kicked the lightsaber out of the hands of his attacker, and rolled backwards and into a standing position, fists raised.

The Sith was upon him in an instant, powered by a burst of force energy that made him move faster than the eye could see, especially in the darkness. A palm outstretched, the blow landed in the center of the Jedi's chest, knocking him backward and into the blast door, almost knocking him out cold. The Sith reached for his lightsaber and pulled it toward him with the Force, only to be tackled from behind by the unarmed Jedi. The two force-sensitives grappled as they rolled on the deck, the crimson blade slamming repeatedly into the deck, melting the metal and burning the robes of the two combatants. Kerren grasped the Sith's blade and tried to force it back and away from his face, but the Sith shifted positions and slammed the Jedi back down onto the deck, and pushed down with his full weight, trying to decapitate Cae.

Cae lifted his legs and threw the Sith off of him and over his head, both of them still gripping the saber. They rolled laterally into an upright position and tried to pry each other's hands off of the weapon. The Sith looked at Cae, eyes burning with hatred. Cae merely concentrated on tearing the weapon away from the Sith. The Sith grinned, baring its inhuman fangs, and rose up off of the ground, still clinging to its weapon, but releasing the grip ever so slightly. The Jedi braced himself and tore the weapon away from the Sith as hard as he could, just as the Sith released it voluntarily, causing the Jedi to roll backwards and out of range, and the crimson emitter to shut off automatically. The Sith laughed. "What are you going to do now, Jedi? Surely you don't know how to use such a weapon? Why don't you give it back to me, before you hurt yourself?"

Kerren didn't listen to the taunting of the Sith, and retained his focus. He switched the crimson blade back on, and began moving clumsily toward the dark figure, blade raised. The creature simply laughed and gathered dark Force energy, and unleashed it in the direction of the Jedi hopeful. Kerren reacted quickly, artfully dodging the attack and running up the side of the corridor wall, to avoid being hit by the close-quarters blast. The Jedi was only a dozen feet away from the Sith now, charging as fast as he could. The dark figure released another volley, which knocked the crimson blade out of Kerren's hands. The Sith reached out and grabbed the Jedi, and used his own momentum to hurl him down the corridor, slamming his head against the blast door control panel. The blast doors slid open, giving Kerren the opportunity to escape. He pulled himself out of a daze and tried to escape, just as a third blast of dark energy hit him in the back, ripping his body apart and shattering bone. Kerren Cae was killed instantly.

The Sith called his lightsaber back to him, and walked calmly back into the darkness, slightly displeased that his robes had gotten singed.

______________________

Si-At Unesh was elsewhere on the Star Destroyer, silently meditating by himself, watching the stars from an observation room. He heard the sound of the door sliding open, and heard a figure enter the room with him. Si-At said nothing, and did not even turn around.

"You will look me in the eye, Jedi, so I can remember your face long after you've met your death." commanded the dark figure. The elderly man ignored the command. The dark figure ignited its red lightsaber, and repeated the order. "Turn around and meet your destiny." Si-At continued to say nothing, and silently meditated. "Very well, if you will not turn around, then you will meet your destiny like a coward." The dark figure lifted a hand, and all the chairs and tables in the room flew against the starboard bulkhead, with a loud crashing noise, leaving only the meditating Jedi and the Sith, and empty deck space. The figure held his saber in a Form III stance, and grinned as he prepared to destroy the Jedi.

Si-At rose at last, and turned to face his attacker, unleashing a stream of positively-charged particles, attempting to stun the dark figure, but they were easily dispersed with no ill effect. "What? Is that all you've got, you foolish old man? Don't worry, I'll put you out of your misery, just hold still...." Si-At rolled to dodge the swing of the blade, and attempted to run out of the observation room, but the door slid shut before he could escape. He turned and unleashed another stream of positively-charged particles, again with no effect. The Sith just cackled and cut the old man down, severing him from the middle of his chest to the opposite shoulder, killing him instantly.

______________________

Jax Revus had almost returned to his quarters after a busy night, but when he tried his door code, he found that it had been changed without his permission. He snarled in frustration. Then, without warning, he sensed danger and looked around, startled.

"Do you need some assistance, Master Revus?" said a voice from behind him. Jax immediately began to smile and regard his fellow Jedi warmly. "Why yes, it seems my door code has been changed. Do you know how to unlock it, Master....?"

"What's wrong, don't you recognize me?" asked the unknown figure.

"....my memory isn't what it used to be. Your species all look alike to me, and I have trouble remembering names. No offense intended, Master."

"None taken." grinned the figure. He ignited his purple lightsaber.

Revus was taken by surprise by this move, and slowly backed away. "Surely it won't be necessary to cut the door open, Master.... I'll just change the code down at the Security station. Thanks again for your help."

"No..... no..... not at all. I insist." grinned the figure, as he walked menacingly toward Revus. At this point Revus frowned and ignited his yellow lightsaber. "Who are you, really, Master Jedi?" asked Revus. "I could ask you the same question, Master Revus."

Revus' eyes began to darken, and he snarled again. "Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?"

"You've demonstrated a mastery of the obvious, Master Revus." remarked the figure.

"Very well. Killing another Jedi tonight won't exactly be a stain on my conscience...." cackled Jax Revus, as he ignited a second lightsaber, in his other hand, a crimson one.

The figure with the purple saber stopped grinning, suddenly realizing that $#!% just got real.

"What's wrong, Master Jedi? Didn't you come to kill a Sith? What makes you hesitate? Could it be that cowardly Jedi fear welling up inside you? Perhaps you feel pained by the news of the death of your fallen comrade? Or perhaps you've got a hangnail? DO YOU MISS YOUR MOMMY???"

"Why don't you shut your mouth, before I remove it from your skull?" sneered the Jedi.

"Oh ho ho ho! I see that unlike some of the other... pathetic... life forms on this ship, you actually have some iron. I like that. It's such a shame I'm going to have to kill you." lamented the Sith, sarcastically.

"I wouldn't count on it, you Pakuunian Pig-rat." spat the figure.

"What language, Master Jedi. Did they teach you that in finishing school? And what does the Jedi code say about murdering people without a trial? Do you really think the Council is going to let you get away with this?" taunted the Sith.

"Why don't you just shut up and die, traitor?"

"Good, Master Jedi. There might be hope for you yet. Use your aggressive feelings, you miserable blood-worm. Let go of your Jedi training.... do what must be done. That is the way of the Sith. Perhaps you should consider a career change?"

"Perhaps you should consider what your LAST WORDS are going to be!" shouted the attacker, as he raised his purple saber in a Form III pose, and began to strike at his target. The Sith raised his lightsabers in a Form I stance, and began to defend himself against the quick, precise swings of his attacker. The Sith countered all of them easily, albeit giving ground in the process, and continued grinning grimly.

"Good.... you have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me, Master Jedi."

"Or perhaps he can." said the figure, smugly, looking behind the Sith.

"What? More pathetic sheep to be slaughtered? Outstanding! My master will be so pleased." said the Sith, as he turned his head, but there was no one there. The sound of a lightsaber cutting through bone startled the Sith, who looked and saw that his yellow lightsaber, and the hand that was holding it, had been removed. "How??? That's impossible! ...YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT, YOU WRITHING MASS OF RANCOR DROPPINGS!!!"

The figure with the purple lightsaber just grinned wickedly. "I don't think so."

The Sith tossed his red saber into the air, and made a violent pushing motion towards his attacker, shoving him down onto the deck with a massive Force Push, and then caught his saber and swung at the prone figure, just as he rolled out of the path of danger. Sparks flew everywhere, as the Sith advanced, preparing to slaughter the impudent wretch. The figure with the purple lightsaber rolled to his feet, and immediately charged the Sith, swinging his saber in a bright purple blur. The evenly-matched foes battled for some time, but the attacker gained the upper hand by wearing down his opponent. There was only so much the Sith could do to defend with his remaining hand. In an instant, a powerful clash of the sabers forced his blade down, and a quick twist of the wrist caused the Sith's arm to be separated at the shoulder. Then his attacker kicked him in the teeth, knocking him down. The Sith simply laughed at the victorious figure looming over him.

"Let your passions control you. Take your Jedi weapon, strike me down with it, and take my place at my Master's side. Soon, your journey toward the Dark Side will be complete."

"I wouldn't count on that either, you Sith scum." grinned the figure, as he lowered the purple saber into the Sith's throat.

______________________

Elsewhere, Jacin Sky returned to his quarters, exhausted from a long night of activity. When he entered, he sensed that something was wrong, and sure enough the doors closed and locked by themselves. A blue lightsaber ignited, in the darkness, and the assassin charged toward Jacin Sky, holding his blade in a manner associated with Form II. Jacin Sky ignited his lightsaber as well, and the two combatants began to duel furiously. They were evenly-matched, meeting each other swing for swing, step for step.

In the dark, Jacin could not see his attacker, and his attacker said nothing. Jacin's training wasn't able to force an escape... and so he had to improvise. They fought on, Jacin giving ground and his assailant pursuing. Jacin was backed into his furnishings, and was forced to walk across a giant glass tabletop. The movement was fluid and steady, and the action continued as they fought across its surface. Suddenly Jacin ducked a swing, and impaled the saber through the tabletop, shattering it under the weight of the two combatants. They both fell to the ground, as the figure with the blue lightsaber tried to make his killing blow.... but no one was there. He looked around, trying to locate Sky, and then noticed that the door to Jacin's quarters had been cut open, and Jacin had escaped. His attacker didn't even see him leave.

______________________

Much later on that night, Carnus Daye woke from his rest, feeling an uncomfortable weight on his chest. For an instant, he thought he might be having a heart attack, but the sudden flash of a red lightsaber igniting under his chin caused him to freeze, and realize that an assassin was literally lying right on top of him, staring him coldly in the face.

"I couldn't sleep anyways, could you?" smirked the assassin.

"Actually, I...." began the sleepy Jedi.

"SHUT UP! That was a rhetorical question. Now, something has been on my mind ever since we arrived on this Star Destroyer... and that's you. I just find you so fascinating." The assassin leaned forward, breathing those words into the face of the sleepy Jedi, in a lustful tone. "I want to know everything about you, Master Jedi. Your thoughts.... your feelings.... which of the other Jedi you think are cute.... if you ever want to have children, that sort of thing. Oh, and by the way, ARE YOU SITH???"

Carnus Daye: "Well, actually, I am not. Could you get off of me? Maybe... point that thing someplace else?"

Assassin: "Oh I rather like pointing it at you, Master Jedi. I like it a lot. You see, I've been under a lot of stress lately, and this whole Sith thing is just making it worse. I can't sleep, and if I can't sleep, no one sleeps, and I can't sleep until I find the Sith.... or someone else equally amusing. Now, Master Jedi, if that is your real identity, you'll answer this one question for me, and MAYBE I will let you live...." the assassin lowered the lightsaber until it was directly above the throat of the sleepy one.

Carnus Daye: "Sure, sure, whatever you say... I'll talk!" yelped the would-be victim.

Assassin: "Do you know..... the Muffin man?"

Carnus Daye: ".....What?"

Assassin: "YOU WILL ANSWER ME OR DIE!!! Do you know the Muffin man?"

Carnus Daye: "The Muffin Man?"

Assassin: "The Muffin Man. DO YOU KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN!?"

Carnus Daye: "That lives on Drury lane? Oh yes, I know the Muffin man."

Assassin: "The Muffin man!"

Carnus Daye: "The Muffin man. Yes I know the Muffin man... who lives on Drury lane."

Assassin: "Well, 'Jedi', spill it, where is this Muffin man?"

Carnus Daye: "Okay, okay, I was just getting to that. You know Nomi Sunrider?"

Assassin: "Of course I do, what kind of deranged lunatic do you think I am?"

Carnus Daye: "Well, she's..... married to the Muffin man."

Assassin: "The Muffin man???"

Carnus Daye: "The Muffin man. She's married to the Muffin man."

Assassin: "Who lives on Drury lane. Yes, it's all falling into place. Wait, WHAT WAS THAT??? Did you hear something?"

Carnus Daye: "No.... just the sound of your crazed, insane breathing."

Assassin: "It's here... The cute little creature; it has come to suck the life out of me, and give me gray hairs! it's been tormenting me for months!"

Carnus Daye: "Maybe you should get some sleep...."

Assassin: "THERE IS NO SLEEP!! Don't you realize? The cute little monster devours sleep, and swallows dreams! He's the source of all the madness! And I'm powerless to stop him!!!"

Carnus Daye: "Could you let me go, now? I told you where the Muffin man is..."

Assassin: "Yes, yes, you win this round, 'Jedi', but once I deal with the Muffin man and steal his magic bag of muffins, I'll be able to satiate the cute one, and then I'll be back to finish this."

Carnus Daye: "Sounds great."

Assassin: "Oh here, you can have your red florescent lamp back. Sorry I broke the lampshade off of it. I left it hanging somewhere over there."



With that, the dark assassin wearing pajamas sneaked off into the night, attempting to locate the kitchen. The would-be victim just rolled his eyes and attempted to get back to sleep.

Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms. Everyone witnessed the strange and bizarre events of that night, and looked grimly upon seeing the deaths of their fellow Jedi.

"It seems that my nightly training session wasn't the only thing happening last night. All of these events happened after the training had been completed, so I cannot vouch for the innocence of anyone who attended. The security recordings have been garbled, and there's no way to determine who was behind the attacks. Internal sensors have also been knocked off-line by a mysterious saboteur. I am going to need to start assigning Jedi guards to cover the critical systems of the ship in shifts, but I am worried about the safety issues involved in spreading out all over the ship. There aren't enough of us to go in pairs and still be able to sleep in shifts, so you'll have to go alone.

We will need to accelerate the training regimen of every single Jedi hopeful here, in response to this attack. I don't feel comfortable handing out more lightsabers just now; you must be trained in the ways of the Jedi before I can authorize giving out such weapons. Believe me, it is for the best; while the deaths of our comrades is regrettable and we must do what we can to stop it from happening again, what will make our situation worse is if we give untrained force-sensitives the use of deadly weapons, as they will be easy prey for the Dark Side. We do not need to multiply our woes.

What I would like to address is the death of Jax Revus. It seems as though he was a Sith, an apprentice by what I could guess from the recording, and he was slain by someone holding a purple lightsaber. Now obviously I know everyone on the ship and what color their lightsaber is, but I must warn you Jedi, that is not a means of determining who has done this. Look at the fallen Sith for reasons why.... the Sith had two lightsabers, with a yellow and a red crystal. And, there are other lightsabers stored in a hidden location of this vessel, and crystals are easy enough for a Sith to switch out. Should you use the color of the lightsaber to determine who is responsible, you do so at your own peril and with my explicit warning that it may not always be accurate.

I would like to note that it is not the policy of this council to engage in vigilante killings of the Sith, as it goes against the Jedi code. However, I am unsure if I can really condemn anyone for using deadly force against a known Sith murderer. I do not condone it, but I will not condemn it, at least until there are no more Sith remaining. Several of you have use of new Force and Saber techniques, so use them wisely.

Finally, I have one last announcement, though I was reluctant to share this with you all, my closest advisers have talked me into it. I have been communing with Master Yoda, and during this communion I experienced a vision. I saw the future, because it was the will of the Force that I could see what will happen. One of you will betray me."


The Jedi began to murmur at the shocking announcement.


"Quiet please. This was unlike any other vision I have experienced. It was remarkably clear, clear enough that I could almost see who was responsible, but I could not. Nevertheless, I saw my destiny. Masters of the Order, I will meet my death very soon. I do not know exactly when or how, but I know I meet my end in battle. There will be an explosion, and I will be unable to avoid it, even though I know it is coming. While the future is always in motion, I have foreseen this future and it is inevitable.

As such, I will rank the Jedi Order by seniority, and the most senior Jedi Master will take my place as Grandmaster of the Order upon my death. Do not mourn me before my time, Master Jedi, and do not miss me when I am gone. Remember, fear, anger, jealousy, and attachment lead to the Dark Side. Revenge is not the Jedi way. Bring those responsible to justice, but do not let your passions sway you.... and beware of the Dark Side. It may seem quicker, and easier, but that is merely an illusion. Do not be seduced by the Dark Side.

Before I am gone, I will have found a way to counter its power. I have foreseen that as well. Now, I want you to discuss who these attackers could be. And I am ordering a certain Jedi to get some sleep before I force tranquilizers into his system. Begin discussion, I must retire to my quarters and sleep."



With that, Nomi Sunrider turned and left the chamber, with two Jedi Masters escorting her. They would return later and join in the discussion.

Nomi Sunrider gathered everyone together, back at the hangar bay.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.

The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out that they had reached a conclusion.

"Yes we have, Grandmaster." said the ranking Jedi Master.

"Who did your feelings tell you was guilty?" Nomi said.

"Mun Farlander, your grace."

"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend themselves." Nomi said, and motioned for the suspect to plead their case.

Mun Farlander: I am not a Sith, your grace, but I accept the council's decision. This is the only way we can find the Sith, so I will bow to your judgment.

Nomi Sunrider: Do you have anything else to say in your defense?

Mun Farlander: Anything I say could be a Sith lie. My defense is unimportant. You must do what you must.

Nomi motioned for her to go into the hangar bay, and then sealed it off. Mun Farlander began to meditate in the middle of the hangar bay, ready for what was about to come. At the last moment, she turned to Nomi Sunrider and smiled, as if reassuring her that it was okay. Nomi switched off the hangar bay force field, and the hangar decompressed, blowing Mun Farlander out into space. She died very quickly and without a fuss.

Nomi needed to make certain, and so she locked onto Mun's body with a tractor beam and brought her back into the hangar bay. Medical droids examined her and found that she was indeed dead. Nomi felt a tremor in the Light Side of the Force, and was greatly displeased. She returned to her quarters to train more Jedi, and ordered everyone else to begin their night watch shifts, or to get to sleep.

Yogal Sec-barr relieved a Jedi from his watch post. He had slept for 6 hours, which was plenty for his species. He took up a position overlooking one of the main reactors of the Star Destroyer, deep in the Engineering section. It seemed strangely quiet in there, even with the low hum of the reactor filling the air with white noise. Yogal could almost hear someone approaching, but he looked around and decided it must have been his imagination.

From the shadows behind him, a figure slowly stepped into the light. The figure raised its hands and they started to glow. Sec-barr heard the sound of soft footfalls behind him, and turned around just in time to see a bright flash of light. The force of the blow knocked his body into the guard railing and caused him to drop his walking stick. The electric current ripped through his body, filling him with terrible, horrible pain. Reacting instinctively, Yogal reached out with the force and shielded his body from the pain, and moved out of the way just in time to avoid a second blast of lightning.

However, the current ran through the metal scaffolding and ricocheted off of the structural supports and bulkheads, blowing out computer consoles and blowing out the overhead lighting. Energy poured through the fingertips of Yogal's attacker, and the lightning began to chain through several conducting objects, and re-direct back into the body of Yogal. The sentient's flesh began to burn and his outer shell began to melt, and he threw himself over the railing to prevent death. His attacker jumped over the railing and landed right next to him, as he lay on the floor gasping for breath. The attacker lifted him up and threw him against the wall, and Yogal got a good look at his attacker.

Yogal: "You.... but why? Why would you do this to me?"

His attacker said nothing, only looked at Yogal with a determined scowl, and began to fire lightning at Yogal again, penetrating the creature's force defenses. Yogal could take no more of this, and screamed in pain, rushing at his attacker, trying to tackle the figure. But the figure just stepped aside and fired another blast, ricocheting it off of the walls, the floor, and even the reactor itself. Yogal's body slammed into the reactor and burst into flames as he let out one final scream for mercy. But none was forthcoming. The body of Yogal lay smoldering next to the reactor, and the automatic fire suppressant system switched on, surrounding Yogal's body with an energy field, and the oxygen inside the field was quickly consumed and the fire went out by itself.

The figure walked away, back toward the darkness.

_________________

Jacin Sky returned from his business elsewhere on the ship, and took up a position guarding the entrance to one of the shuttle bays. He centered himself and reached out with the Force, and could sense danger approaching. He knew he was about to be attacked, so he drew his lightsaber and prepared for battle. He checked left, down one corridor, and checked right, down the other, and down the center corridor. He even looked up, thinking the attack might come from above, then he sensed danger behind him.

The shuttle bay doors slid open, and a figure was standing behind him with both hands raised, and made a motion as if choking Sky from a distance. His senses and his lightsaber were not enough to help him, and he dropped his weapon and staggered forward, unable to even turn around and face his attacker. He struggled to breathe, or even move, and could only crawl down the corridor as his face began to turn blue.

The figure groaned and clenched its hands even tighter together, and Jacin Sky felt as if his entire body was being crushed by a garbage smasher. He could feel the bones in his chest begin to weaken, as his esophagus closed up and his lungs started to collapse. With his last bit of consciousness, Jacin Sky struggled to concentrate and reach out with the Force, to protect his body from the wounds. The figure in the shuttle bay roared with contempt and continued crushing Jacin Sky, teeth clenched, trying desperately to end Jacin's life. With the Force releasing Jacin from the immediate pain, and supporting his chest just enough to allow him to breathe, Jacin Sky grabbed his lightsaber and ran down the hall, to the turbolift, to escape from the powerful attacker.

The figure in the shuttlebay roared with frustration, and motioned with its hands toward the ceiling, and the shuttles in the bay were lifted up as one and crashed against the the top of the bay, crushing them under the stress. Then the figure slammed its hands down to the deck, denting the duranium plating. The shuttles flew towards the front of the shuttlebay, and the entire star destroyer rocked from the resulting chain reaction of explosions, as their engine reactors were crushed. In the nightmarish inferno, the being that attacked Jacin Sky walked slowly toward the opposite turbolift, unharmed and unhindered by the burning atmosphere and swirling wreckage.

Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms.

"As you can see, there were more attacks on us last night. We do not know the identities of these two mysterious attackers, but one of our shuttle bays has been utterly destroyed and an entire deck has been flooded with radiation and burning fuel. The ship's safety systems have contained the damage, but it is clear that whatever is on board this ship could destroy us all at any moment, but is choosing to target us individually. It would be rather simple for any reasonably skilled Jedi to simply cause the ship's reactors to explode, and I am sure the Sith have that capability. I had actually been expecting such an attack, and that is why I hold my training sessions near the Engineering section so that I can monitor the integrity of the reactor cores and shield them with my thoughts. But our saboteurs and murderers aboard have not chosen that tactic. Unfortunately I was not able to intervene in the attack on Yogal Sec-barr in time, as the attacker had already left. There's nothing that can be done, his body is burned from the inside. It is beyond my healing abilities.

Last night, as with the night before, Jacin Sky was the target of an attack, and this time he just barely managed to escape with his life. We are glad to have you with us again, Sky."

Jacin Sky nodded at Sunrider. She continued.


"I sense a disturbance in the Force. There is something wrong here, terribly wrong. My powers only allow me to see so much, but I fear that in spite of our progress in removing one of the Sith, the Dark Side is only growing more powerful, much more rapidly than our defenses will be able to compensate for. We must continue our training, and keep our faith in the Light Side of the Force.

I had the same vision as before, clearer than before. There will be an attack on many of our Jedi Initiates, and I will do what I must to stop them from dying. That is why I will not be able to avoid my death, because it is better for me to die than for half of us to die. That is the path I walk, and there are no turns."


The Jedi murmur at this news.


"It is the will of the Force. But know this.... it is not a defeat. It is a triumph of the Light Side of the Force, that the Sith cannot face me directly, and must resort to this kind of attack. It proves that we are still much stronger than they are. When I am dead, more will take my place. You must not lose your faith. You must feel the Force around you.... even on the sterile conditions of this ship, we are many dozen sentient life-forms, possessing a powerful connection to the Force and each other. The planet we are orbiting is filled with many billion sentient life-forms and trillions upon trillions of other life-forms. This is one of the brightest places in the galaxy, teeming with life. For the Dark Side to defeat us here, much more powerful they must become. Cause fear, pain, and anger to flow within us, they must. To turn against each other, that is what they wish for us.

Do not waver. Find the remaining Sith, and bring them before me."

Nomi Sunrider gathered everyone together, back at the hangar bay.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.

The Jedi took a vote, and after some debate, many votes were changed, and the final vote tally came up with a surprise candidate.

"Yes we have, Grandmaster." said the ranking Jedi Master.

"Who did your feelings tell you was guilty?" Nomi said.

"Yala Edak, your grace."

"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend themselves." Nomi said, and motioned for the suspect to plead their case.

Yala Edak: "I am not a Sith, your grace, and I was only trying to find the Sith among us. I do not think I should be put to death."

Nomi Sunrider: "Do you have anything else to say in your defense?"

Yala Edak: "I do not agree with this system of deciding guilt. Why do we not launch an investigation, or seal off certain people in some parts of the ship, and try to logically narrow down who the Sith are? None of this seems very sensible to me."

Nomi Sunrider: "The Sith have a way of avoiding being caught by what is logical. They are very capable of tricking the senses, and clouding the mind. A firm resolve is needed, uncompromising. Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good."

Nomi motioned for him to go into the hangar bay, and then sealed it off. Yala Edak stood in the hangar bay, asking to be let back in, and asking them not to go through with it. With some hesitation, Nomi Sunrider switched off the hangar bay force field, and the hangar decompressed, blowing Yala Edak out into space. He died very quickly after a short struggle. Nomi needed to make certain, and so she locked onto Edak's body with a tractor beam and brought him back into the hangar bay. Medical droids examined him and found that he was indeed dead.

Nomi was displeased, and did not sense the Dark Side present in him.


Nomi Sunrider: "We have lost another of our own. I would ask you to meditate and clear your thoughts, it seems that your senses are not as attuned as they should be. Please report for night watch duty, those of you on Alpha shift. Beta shift, use your down time to purge your mind of this failure, and get needed rest. Remember to lock your doors and change your security codes on a shift-by-shift basis. Those of you who are scheduled for more training, please join me at the Holocron.

Tonight I would like to double the watch for the weapons, engines, and life support systems. It is less important that other ship systems are covered. Good night, and may the Force be with us all."

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Tuesday, November 2nd, Eastern Time USA

Sec-Sar Jor stood silently, in the shadows, keeping his eye on one of the weapons lockers. It had been an uneventful shift. He was actually getting tired, hoping that someone would come to relieve him. Right at the proper time, the turbolift opened, and a lone being stepped onto the deck.

Jor recognized the figure, but it wasn't the person who was supposed to replace him, so he waited in the shadows to see what would happen. The figure walked calmly down the corridor, and stood in front of the weapons locker. The figure looked around, and checked the control pad to see if the room had been entered. As soon as the figure did this, Sec-Sar Jor stepped out of the shadows and calmly asked what the cloaked figure was doing.

Sec-Sar Jor: Pardon me, Master Jedi, but you do not seem to be the person who was meant to relieve me. May I ask why you are here?

The cloaked figure turned, and immediately focused all attention on Sec-Sar Jor. After a few uncomfortable moments of silence, the cloaked figure spoke.

Cloaked figure: I was looking for you, actually.

Sec-Sar Jor: You seem to have found me. Why aren't you at your post?

Cloaked figure: Do not presume to ask me questions, Jor.

Sec-Sar Jor: Very well. In the name of the Galactic Republic, with authorization by the Jedi Council, I am placing you under arrest, Master Jedi.

Cloaked figure: Quite the contrary, you are the one that is under arrest.

The cloaked figure raised its hands and they began to glow. Sec-Sar Jor realized he was in danger, and reached out to the Force to give himself strength, but he was cornered. He raised his hands to defend himself, but it was no use. The cloaked figure unleashed a torrent of electricity from its hands, and the sheer force of the impact threw Sec-Sar Jor against the bulkhead and to the ground. With his connection to the Force, he managed to roll out of the immediate path of the lightning, and attempted to get to his feet, but a second arc of energy hit him in the chest and caused him to stumble. A third arc ricocheted off of the walls of the corridor and shocked Jor in the face. The young Jedi screamed in agony, and tried to crawl to the turbolift. The cloaked figure continued to advance, eyes burning with determination, ignoring the screams of pain. A more powerful wave of lightning burst forth from its hands, and Sec-Sar Jor bellowed one final scream before it all went blank. The figure continued firing, ensuring that Sec-Sar Jor was dead, cooked from the inside, filling the corridor with smoke and ash.

The deed done, the cloaked figure grimly returned to the turbolift, and said nothing more.


Another figure stepped out of the shadows and examined Sec-Sar Jor, but quickly fled the scene.

______________________

Ker-oth Ex kept watch over the Life Support systems. Being able to survive in an oxygen-free environment made him perfectly suited for the task of repairing that system should it be damaged. When Alpha Shift had ended, Ker-oth wondered where the person who was to relieve him was. A half-hour went by, and still no one came to relieve him. Finally he had enough of it, and went over to the comm panel and contacted Nomi Sunrider.

Ker-oth: Your grace, it is past time for me to be relieved, but my Beta Shift counterpart has yet to show. I request assistance.

Nomi Sunrider: I'll be on my way. Keep watch until I get there, Ker-oth.

Satisfied, the armored Jedi returned to his post, only to find a cloaked figure standing in front of him.

Ker-oth: What are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here. Where is Beta Shift?

Unknown: Resting comfortably.

Ker-oth: What do you mean? Are you supposed to be my replacement?

Unknown: I'm here to relieve you....

Ker-oth: That won't be necessary, Grandmaster Sunrider is coming to replace me.

Unknown: Good. I will relieve her as well.

Ker-oth: What are you talking about? I don't need to be relieved!

Unknown: Oh yes, you do.... you're tired. You're exhausted even.

The dark figure stepped forward, smirking.

Unknown: You can barely keep your eyes open. You find it difficult to concentrate.... difficult to stand..... difficult to breathe.... difficult to ponder your short, meaningless existence.

Ker-oth: Don't come any closer! Or I'll.....

Unknown: You'll what? Wave your little gaffi stick at me? You're too tired, master Jedi. You need rest. I'm here to make sure you rest comfortably.

The figure drew a red lightsaber.

Ker-oth: I'm warning you....

Unknown: You need rest.... I'm here to relieve you.... of your miserable life.

The figure drew a second red lightsaber, and flashed an evil grin.

Ker-oth Ex saw the twin red lightsabers, and froze in place. There was nowhere to go. The only exit in the life support room was covered by the cloaked figure. Ker-oth raised his walking stick in defiance of the cloaked figure, but it was knocked out of his hands in a fraction of a second, along with one of his hands. The other one was cut down just a half a second later, in a blur of shimmering red. The cloaked figure moved faster than the eye could see, hacking the armored crustacean creature into tiny bits, a piece at a time, savoring every moment, relishing in the carnage, laughing as the Jedi screamed in terror. The cloaked figure spun around and leaped forward, following the Ataru form, severing the Jedi's lower limbs and impaling him in the lower thorax.

Ker-oth fell to the ground and could only look up at his attacker in pain and confusion.... what prompted such cruel, sadistic behavior? Was it not enough to simply behead the Jedi, did his attacker really have to prolong and enjoy the process? The battle could have been over in a split second, but it wouldn't have been this much fun.

The cloaked figure stood over him, and swung his lightsabers at the chest of the fallen foe, cleaving the Jedi into pieces, and again. Then, eyes shimmering, the cloaked figure impaled Ker-oth through the skull with both blades, spilling what was left of his cranial cavity all over the deck. The smell of burning flesh was gag-inducing. The figure simply grinned, looking down at the remains of the Jedi, and fled the scene, just before Nomi Sunrider arrived.

The Grandmaster of the Order looked at what was done to the fallen Jedi, and fell to the ground in pain. She nearly wept for him, losing her control.

Nomi Sunrider: No more pain, master Ker-oth. Your death will not have been in vain.

Through the corridors, the sound of dark, sinister laughter permeated everywhere. The nightmare had only just begun.

Nomi ran over to the computer console and quickly checked the security recordings, to find out what had happened to Ker-oth's relieving watchman, Kaz'an Neimoidia. This is what she saw.....

______________________

Security recording....... ACTIVE.

Playback from time index 103124.55, enable.

Kaz'an Neimoidia woke from his brief, uncomfortable sleep. A loud tone alerted him that it was time. Another long night watch, another long day of arguing and bickering, and then, another 6 hours of restless tossing and turning.

He switched on the overhead lighting to see a cloaked figure standing in his quarters. Immediately, Neimoidia knew that his life was in danger, and rolled out of bed and sprinted into the other room. He didn't even look back to see that his bed suddenly burst into flames, and the fire suppression system had been disabled. The cloaked figure followed Kaz'an into the other room, where Kaz'an made his stand.

Neimoidia focused his mind on the Force, and summoned much Force energy to his command. He stood in a defensive pose and raised his hands, ready for his attacker. But his attacker just stood there, staring at him. Staring at him with dark, evil eyes.

Kaz'an started feeling intense pain... he found it difficult to concentrate, and hold on to his vast reserves of Force power. But still he remained motionless, prepared for the coming attack. But then.... a splitting headache. A sharp pain in the abdomen. Kaz'an's skin began to blister and boil.... and the dark figure continued to stare at him.

Kaz'an began to scream.... he screamed before he even knew he was screaming. He was experiencing agony he had never felt before... never even conceived of before. He fell to his knees, as his blood began to literally boil and his skin began to melt off of his body. His eyeballs exploded, and his Jedi robes burst into flames. The staring continued.

The screams of agony, nightmarish in pitch and volume, began to whimper and fade, as roaring flames engulfed Master Neimoidia. His charred, burning husk collapsed against the duranium deck plating, and continued to burn long after the cloaked figure left his quarters. The other furniture was also engulfed in flames, and the security sensors overloaded.

Security playback....... COMPLETE.

Elsewhere on the ship, a console overloaded and Jedi Initiate Pla-den Krul was instantly and unceremoniously killed.

______________________

Azurine Kadu stood near the doors to one of the Engine reactors, keeping careful watch over the area. At the proper time, the turbolift carrying Beta Shift arrived. Kadu welcomed the relief. The doors opened and a dark figure stepped out onto the deck, not at all who Azurine was expecting.

Azurine Kadu: Halt! In the name of the Jedi Order, I command you to identify yourself.

Dark figure: I am your executioner.

Azurine Kadu: You..... who are you? What do you want?

Dark figure: Are you deaf, Jedi? I said I want your charred corpse lifeless on the floor plating before me. I want the bodies of all your friends lined up right beside you. I want your precious little Jedi Temple to burn to the ground, and I want everyone who would think of questioning my rule to be put to a slow, painful death. I want to personally slaughter all my enemies, and conquer the planet below us, and all the other planets worthy of my name. I want every single living creature in the galaxy to bow before me. But for now, all I want is for you to be a good little girl and die......

Azurine Kadu: Do you enjoy hearing yourself talk?

Dark figure: Yes.... but I also like watching myself slaughter the weak. I truly hope this is being captured on camera.

The dark figure ignited its lightsaber, which burned crimson red.

Azurine Kadu centered herself, and waited for the cloaked figure to attack. The cloaked figure stood in a classic Djem So pose, and began to advance and demonstrate its mastery of Form V. Kadu reached out with the Force, at let it trickle through her body. Then she sprang into action, deftly dodging the strikes of the red lightsaber and rolling out of danger.

The cloaked figure, upon seeing this, too reached out with the Force and redoubled his efforts, moving faster, delivering more accurate and deadly strikes, and increasing his strength by a factor of ten. It was all Azurine could do to avoid being cleaved in half, but her agility allowed her to perform a flying somersault over the head of the her attacker, and dodge several more strikes with uncanny timing, moving out of range in a blur of speed.

The cloaked figure became enraged, and rushed forward to cut her down, but the nimble and quick Kadu sprinted down the corridor faster than the cloaked one thought possible. He was close behind her, and prepared one final thrust to finish it. Kadu closed the turbolift doors, just as the red lightsaber punched through and began to melt the doors. Kadu quickly keyed in an emergency override command, and got the turbolift to rise. The blade of the shimmering red saber cut cleanly through the floor of the turbolift as it rose, causing the lift to stall momentarily with a shudder. One of the drive mechanisms was damaged. The lift stalled halfway between the two floors, and Kadu forced open the upper level doors and wriggled free of the turbolift, just as the cloaked attacker below severed the emergency stop mechanism and caused the turbolift to plummet 30 stories to the bottom of the shaft.

Azurine Kadu escaped. A terrifying roar of frustration was heard, and a few moments later, one of the bulkheads was pulled from the superstructure and blown out one of the starboard corridors, and out into space, causing the entire deck to decompress. Someone had turned the emergency structural containment force-fields off.

Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms.


"There is no other way to say this. Last night.... we were shown the true power of the Dark Side. So many Jedi lost their lives, that we can only take small comfort in knowing that Azurine Kadu survived. The manner in which these murders were carried out.... is more horrible than I've seen before. The disturbance in the force that I felt before... it has returned. It is also obvious to me that we do not face a single foe... the time indexes from the security holograms indicate that there were at least two cloaked persons attacking us simultaneously. There may be others... I do not know. The Dark Side clouds everything. We still have a lot of work to do if we are to eliminate the Sith.

One of our own was also killed in a tragic accident. I can only suggest, in my sadness, that it was the will of the Force that this youngling was taken from us. No one regrets his departure more than I, because I knew him very well. I knew his family. I knew what kind of Jedi he was destined to become. But that is not to be.

The vision.... has come to me again. I can feel my own death approaching. I must hurry if I am to complete your training.

Clearer our minds must be if we are to find the true villains behind this plot. If a majority of you vote in the allotted time, I will accept your decision. If a majority of you do not vote in the allotted time, I will slow the ship's orbit and give you another 24 hours. Remember that you will be exhausted by the time the discussion is over, if I have to do this. Try to reach a decision before then.


Today, it is only natural that you would be feeling sadness for your fallen comrades. But you must not let your passions cloud your judgment. If there are any emotions you must feel, then remember that your friends have transformed into the Force.... they are not gone from us completely. If you listen carefully, you can still hear them. You must feel the Force.... through it, things you will see, other places. The future, the past, old friends long gone.

Do not despair.... that is also a path to the Dark Side.

Jedi, look at me.....


Look at me."




Nomi smiled.



"The Force is with us. Be of good cheer, for our triumph over the Sith is at hand. We are not beaten, not yet, not by a long shot. At any moment, we could put a stop to the Sith. All we need is for the Force to guide us to the true culprits. And then victory will be inevitable.

Even when I am gone, I will be looking out for you. But before I leave, I have one last request....


Bring me a Sith."



Nomi bowed gracefully before the other Jedi, and returned to her quarters alone, to meditate in solitude.

Nomi Sunrider gathered everyone together, back at the hangar bay.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.

The Jedi took a vote, and the voting was surprisingly enthusiastic and near-unanimous. One Jedi even claimed that they knew who one of the Sith were, for a fact.

"I sense the Dark Side in that one, your grace! He's the Sith we've been looking for!" The Jedi shouted.

"Are you certain?" asked Nomi Sunrider.

"Yes, I know it is him, the Dark Side is there, I have felt it."

"Strange that I have not. But perhaps this training is making me lose my sight. Bring the Sith Lord before me. Who is it?"

"Lo'son Galeb, your grace!"

The other Jedi ignited their lightsabers in a show of force, and formed a circle around Lo'son.

"Allow him to speak!" commanded Nomi Sunrider.



Lo'son Galeb: "What are you talking about, fool? I am no Sith Lord. Your senses must not be very attuned at all!"

Nomi Sunrider: "You have been charged by your peers of conspiring to commit murder, sabotaging the ship, conspiring to disrupt the Coruscant communications network, conspiring to invade Coruscant, and several counts of murder in the first degree. How do you answer those charges?"

Lo'son Galeb: "I respond by pointing out how ridiculously wrong they all are. Not even close, not by a long shot. I don't even have a lightsaber!"

Nomi Sunrider: "That doesn't really mean anything. You could have left them in your quarters, or hidden them."

Lo'son Galeb: "Search my quarters then! What madness is this??? You have some problem with surveillance and random searches, but no problem outright killing a suspected Sith Lord? Without so much as a real and fair trial, evidence, or things of that nature. This is preposterous, the height of stupidity."

Nomi Sunrider noted the flash of anger in the young Jedi.

Nomi Sunrider: "You're very angry, young Galeb. Anger is a path to the Dark Side."

Lo'son Galeb: "Your grace, anger is perfectly natural and every Jedi here has experienced it before. This is turning into a.... a.... a wild Rancor hunt. Am I to be burned at the stake, next?"

Nomi Sunrider: "You didn't have a problem with these proceedings before now..."

Lo'son Galeb: "It's quite a different story when your life is on the line. You didn't give us much of a choice either, your grace."

Nomi Sunrider: "Your anger is directed at me, I can feel it. Do you bear malice toward the other Jedi as well?"

Lo'son Galeb: "Well I sure feel some now. Come and fight me, you cowards! I challenge you! I will prove that I am a Jedi!"

Nomi Sunrider: "That's not how we do things here. You're to be cast into space, the non-violent way."

Lo'son Galeb: *spits on the floor* "I am not a child. I may be a Jedi, but I am also a man. I demand to go out fighting, your grace!"

Nomi Sunrider: "Are you threatening us, young one?"

Lo'son Galeb: "No.... no, not even now, when you all want me to die. I'm not saying I wish to murder anyone. I just.... want to hold a lightsaber one more time. I want to die on my feet, in battle. Not even the teachings of the Jedi have purged from me that desire. It is common among my people."

Nomi Sunrider: "Frankly, young one, I am worried you are a Sith Lord and this is just your way of trying to murder one of us before you expire."

Lo'son Galeb: "Is there nothing you can do to grant my final request, miss Sunrider?"



Lo'son looked at Nomi Sunrider with the eyes of a beaten, saddened man. She could feel the anger in him subside, and the sadness begin to well. And she felt a touch of fear as well.


Nomi Sunrider: You will follow me into the hangar bay, and follow my instructions exactly. Understood?


Lo'son nodded. Nomi Sunrider motioned for one of the other Masters to toss her a lightsaber.

Lightsaber Battle: Tincow versus Askthepizzaguy

Nomi stood in the center of the hangar bay, and tossed Lo'son a blue lightsaber. Galeb wasted no time igniting the weapon, and prepared to defend himself.


Nomi Sunrider: "I will not kill you, Lo'son. But I will give you the battle you desire, as your final request. If any Jedi is to risk her life, it should be mine. Now, Master Galeb, attack me."


Galeb bowed gracefully and moved toward Nomi Sunrider, the sadness gone from his eyes. Instead of sadness, there was anger. He swung the blade ferociously, and Nomi gracefully deflected his blows, as expected. Still, the young Jedi pressed on.


Lo'son Galeb: "I am not a Sith Lord, Sunrider. You have been deceived by a lie.... they all were. You would cast me aside based on the word of that other pathetic life form? I looked up to you... saw you as some kind of leader!"


Galeb's swings became stronger, and more determined. He continued.


Lo'son Galeb: "But you are no leader! You cannot protect us! You cannot even sense the Sith right in front of your own eyes! You are the weakest Grandmaster of the Order I have ever seen! If Yoda were here, the Sith would be expired already."


Nomi could feel his rage building. Still she kept her defenses strong, deflecting all of the blows with ease. Lo'son reached out with the force, and began to move faster, and with more agility. His muscles became reinforced, stronger. His eyes had a look of profound passion on them.



Lo'son Galeb: "You should have trained them better.... you should have trained me more.... was I not worthy, in your eyes, your grace? That you would not even grant me a lightsaber? I could have been the greatest Jedi Knight in the galaxy! I could have personally defeated all the Sith! I could have been a thousand times the Grandmaster of the Order you turned out to be!"


Nomi deflected all of Lo'son's attacks without breaking a sweat or changing facial expressions. The young Jedi was beyond outmatched by the Grandmaster.


Lo'son Galeb: "Perhaps your refusal to simply attack me is your weakness. You won't kill me. I don't need to bother defending myself, I could simply walk toward you and strike you down!"


Suddenly, Lo'son challenged his fear, and charged toward Nomi, his lightsaber raised high above his head, angled down for a deadly strike. The move took the Grandmaster by surprise, and he nearly got past her defenses, but at the last moment, she used the force and augmented her speed, and sidestepped the blow just in time. Furious at this trick, Lo'son attacked her again, this time vocalizing loudly each blow. He tried to wear her down, simply overpower her, but the Grandmaster continued to fight. For a time, it looked as though Lo'son was actually succeeding, the Grandmaster's movements became weaker. She was not as young as she used to be, and she was stubbornly refusing to finish off Galeb with an attack. The prolonged battle was one she was not accustomed to. Lo'son tried another move, and attempted to Force Push her to the ground, and deliver the killing blow, but he was not powerful enough.

Nomi raised her hands and Pushed Galeb back, knocking him to the deck plating. Still undeterred, Galeb rose and charged at Nomi, lightsaber raised, in a Quixotic charge that even he knew was not going to defeat Nomi Sunrider. But he charged like a warrior.

Nomi met him head-on, clashed sabers with Galeb, and quickly disarmed the young Jedi, slicing off his hand, and Pushing him to the deck once more, defeated.


Nomi Sunrider: "That's enough, Galeb. If you are a Sith, you're holding back. I've had enough of this."



Nomi turned and walked to the starboard corridor, switching off her lightsaber and leaving Lo'son behind. She was displeased by the turn of events.


Galeb, on the other hand, saw his chance. Nomi had disarmed herself, and left him lying next to a perfectly good lightsaber. He took it in his other hand, and charged toward Nomi.


Nomi sensed this from the young Jedi, and turned around; reaching out with the Force, she switched off the Hangar Bay Containment Field. The bay decompressed in a matter of seconds, blowing Lo'son and the blue lightsaber out into space. Nomi herself shielded herself with a bubble of the Force, and held on to the airlock door panel so she would not get blown out as well. When the bay was fully decompressed, she switched the containment field on and entered the airlock, disappointed at herself for her failure. She actually suggested that the young man attack her.... that was her failure as well.


Lo'son may have lacked the Jedi discipline that comes with training, and purging one's thoughts of the Dark Side, but he was no Sith. He was simply a man. And he died a man's death.

Tincow- Lo'son Galeb

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Friday, November 5th, Eastern Time USA

That night, Nomi Sunrider ordered the Jedi to cover the Engines, Structural Integrity Field Generators, and the Turbolifts. Everyone was split up into Alpha and Beta shifts, and they went their separate ways. Some went to sleep, some trained with Nomi Sunrider, and some began their watches. It was all very orderly and predictable.

_____________

In the residential section of the Star Destroyer, Ushan Nihlek returned to his quarters. After witnessing the death of Galeb, he had much on his mind. Not surprisingly at all, someone was there waiting for him. They ignited a purple lightsaber.

Cloaked Figure: Going somewhere?

Ushan Nihlek: What do you want?

The cloaked figure sneered.

Cloaked Figure: Oh, I just want to talk. Isn't that why we carry these lightsabers? To talk things out?

Ushan Nihlek: Forgive me, but I do not understand your sense of humor. Now if you'll excuse me...

Cloaked Figure: Oh I don't think so. You're not going anywhere!

Ushan Nihlek: I disagree.


With that, Ushan Nihlek rasied a hand, and the Cloaked Figure lifted up off the ground, caught in the grip of a Force hold of some kind. The cloaked figure struggled, but could not break free. He watched helplessly as Ushan walked calmly down the corridor and out of sight.

______________________

Azurine Kadu began her duties guarding one of the many structural integrity field generators, in the lower decks, near the Engineering section, but closer to the Outer Hull.

Not even a half of an hour into her shift, she was approached by a cloaked figure.


Azurine Kadu: You.... what are you doing here again?

Dark Figure: Isn't it obvious?


The cloaked figure ignited his lightsaber, which burned crimson red.

Azurine immediately turned to flee, but the blast doors behind her were closed by an unseen force. She turned back and saw that the only escape route was behind the one who was threatening her. She turned to her training, and reached out with the Force and let it trickle through her body. With a burst of speed, she attempted to run past her attacker and avoid the lightsaber at the same time.

The dark figure reached out with the Force, and a field of Dark Energy enveloped Azurine. Her connection to the Force was canceled, and she felt weak. She stumbled as she tried to run past the cloaked figure, who flashed an evil grin. After the cloaked figure stood in a standard Djem So stance, he swung his lightsaber and cut down the afflicted Jedi.

Azurine screamed in pain, and fell to the ground, lifeless.

Main Turbolift Shaft- Observation Platform

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

You can watch this movie, or you can play the music below and skip to the real action.

Jacin Sky stood watch over the main Turbolift Shaft. After the attack the night prior which destroyed one of the Turbolifts, it was vitally important that the main transport shaft of the Star Destroyer remained undamaged. From the Observation Platform at the top of the shaft, Sky could see and sense anything that would happen. Before his watch was over, too early to be his relief, his control panel alerted him that someone had entered the Main Turbolift and was heading for the Observation Platform.

Jacin could not forget how his senses failed him yesterday, and immediately took cover, in the shadows. He used his knowledge of the Force to conceal his presence as best he possibly could, and waited.


The Turbolift came to a halt, and the doors opened. A cloaked figure stepped out onto the Observation Platform and looked around, as if searching for someone in particular. The sound of mechanical breathing permeated the deck, and Jacin heard the unmistakable sound of a lightsaber being ignited. The sight of the cloaked figure was absolutely chilling.


The figure calmly walked from one side of the Platform to the other, not giving up on his search so easily.









Unknown: "You cannot hide forever, Sky... Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends."


Jacin Sky: ........


Unknown: "Your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for..... Sunrider...."


Jacin Sky: ........


Unknown: "So... you have feelings for Miss Sunrider. Your feelings have now betrayed her too. Now your failure is complete."


Jacin Sky: ........


Unknown: "If you will not give yourself to the Dark Side, then perhaps she will. But Sunrider is weak... killing her will satisfy me in ways you could only begin to comprehend. Even if I cannot find you, I will find her. It is unavoidable.... it is our destiny. Even she knows this by now. She will die by my hands.... and you will be forced to watch."


Jacin Sky: "Never!"



The cloaked figure looked, and heard where the sound was coming from. Immediately, the Dark One switched off his lightsaber and reached out with the Force and tried to crush the elusive Jacin Sky with all of his hatred. A console exploded, and the walls were warped, and the security railing was crushed by the power of the Dark Side. Jacin Sky was able to re-direct the Dark One's thoughts away from him, and he moved quickly out of the path of danger.


Unknown: "Impressive."


Again, the Dark Figure tried to crush Master Sky, and several structural support beams were twisted and destroyed by his power. Some of the overhead support structure collapsed onto the deck, and sparks flew everywhere. But Sky managed to elude him again.


Unknown: "Most Impressive. That power comes from the Dark Side of the Force. Perhaps you would make a powerful ally.... if you would only give yourself to me."


Jacin Sky: "I'll never join you!"


For a third time, the Dark Figure reached out with the Force, and sent a powerful wave of Dark Side power in the direction of Jacin's voice. The superstructure of the Star Destroyer shuddered, as the entire deck above the Observation Platform bent downwards. Power relays blew out, and the entire deck went dark. Gasses began leaking from life support systems and air pressurizers. At this rate, the Dark One could destroy the entire ship within a matter of hours. The Dark Figure cackled with triumphant laughter.


Unknown: "If you will not be turned... THEN YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!!!"


The Dark One lifted a hand and unleashed Force Lightning into the darkness of the Observation Deck. The brilliant lightning cut through the darkness, and revealed that Jacin Sky was not standing there. He reached out with his other hand, and fired in the opposite direction, channeling dark side energy and casting it blindly at his target. Again, there was no one to be found. But the Dark One continued firing, and several more arcs of lightning began to chain off of the deck plating, the support structure, and even the ceiling itself. The energy blew out power converters and magnetized the deck itself. All the computers in the area overloaded and exploded. There was nowhere for Jacin Sky to hide. In the darkness, the Jedi Master stood, and one of the beams of Chain Lightning ripped through his body, and he bore the full brunt of the blast. He reached out with the Force and shielded himself from the pain, and gritted his teeth. Another blast hit him, but still he kept his place in the dark....


Unknown: "I sense great fear in you, Jacin Sky..... I can feel your anger. I can feel your pain.... I know you're here. Show yourself. Do not tremble in the dark. Come and FACE ME!!! COME, AND MEET YOUR DESTINY!!!"


Jacin Sky ignited his green lightsaber, and attempted to ward off some of the dark side energy that was hitting his body.... his skin was being burned, as was his clothing. He needed to keep the arcs of electricity off of him. The sound of the saber being ignited alerted the Dark One to his presence, and he focused both of his beams of Chain Lightning at Jacin Sky, from where he was standing behind one of the support beams. The power of the Dark Side ripped through Sky's body, and as powerful as he was, he could not prevent himself from being damaged by the Chain Lightning. He staggered forward, near death, saber blade burning brightly, with a grim look of determination on his face.


Jacin Sky: "This isn't over... if you strike me down I will only become more powerful."


The Dark One simply laughed and began firing Chain Lightning at the Jedi Master. While Sky was able to deflect most of it with his blade, a torrent of lightning hit him from the side, as it ricocheted off of the support structure. There was no escape. Jacin Sky advanced through the lightning, fighting through the pain, to attack the Dark One. But it was too much, and he dropped to one knee. The Dark One cackled again at the sight of this.


Unknown: "Only now, at the end, do you understand. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side."


The Chain Lightning continued, and Sky began to scream in pain. He clutched the lightsaber in his hands, fighting onward, trying desperately to reach the Dark One. He stopped just a few meters short of his target, and finally collapsed, feigning defeat. The Chain Lightning stopped.


Unknown: "And now, Master Jacin Sky.... you will die."


Jacin rose quickly, and prepared to strike the Dark One down, and at the last moment, the Dark One raised his hands and fired again, blowing the lightsaber out of Jacin's hands, the dark side energy pulsating completely through his defenseless body. The Jedi staggered forward, as the Dark One moved out of his path, and he fell against the security railing, at the edge of the Observation platform.


Unknown: "Nomi Sunrider will be the next to fall...."


The Dark One continued firing, pushing Jacin's mortally wounded body over the edge of the railing, and he fell 50 decks to the bottom of the transport shaft to his death. His eyes burned with triumph, as he watched the Jedi's death.



Unknown: "And your Jedi Order will soon follow."

______________________





Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms.


"We lost a great friend and mentor last night, as well as another beloved member of our family, cut down before her prime." began Sunrider.


"I would like to speak more about these honored dead, but we must remain focused. There are still Sith out there and we must bring them to justice. The vision happened again, and it was very clear. I don't wish to say what I learned. My time is short, and I must prepare myself for tonight's proceedings. I am sorry I cannot say any more at this time. But despair not, for many of our young disciples will soon be promoted to full Jedi. We could use the help.

Look on today with a fresh perspective, and let go of the failures of the past. Dwelling on failure focuses the mind on negativity, and that is a path to the Dark Side. Stay strong, and may the Force be with us all."

Nomi Sunrider returned from her quarters and found that the Jedi were finished discussing for today.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.

The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out they had decided that one of them was likely to be a Sith.

"Yes we have, your grace." said a Master Jedi.

"Who is the chosen one?" Nomi asked.

"Drafo Tylum, your grace."

The other Jedi stepped away from Drafo Tylum, making a path between Drafo and Nomi.

"Allow him to give his defense." commanded Nomi Sunrider.


Drafo Tylum: "I'm innocent, of course. I told you so, but you wouldn't listen to me. After the past several days, could I really expect anything else?"

Nomi Sunrider: "The Council has judged you to be guilty. Disarm yourself, if you have a weapon."

Drafo Tylum: "Wrong again. I don't have a lightsaber. Can't you tell?"

Nomi Sunrider: "I must admit, our ability to use the Force seems to have diminished. The Dark Side clouds everything."

Drafo Tylum: "Are you sure it is the Dark Side which is responsible for this debacle? You could always just search me. You can't really blame the force for your own mistakes."

Nomi Sunrider: "You seem rather hostile, young one."

Drafo Tylum: "I'm sorry. Am I supposed to take my impending death with gentle good humor? I'm beginning to lose my faith in your leadership, miss Sunrider. Perhaps a change of Grandmaster would be ideal. Maybe then we will actually get somewhere."


Many of the other Jedi gasped at the disrespect shown to the Grandmaster.


Nomi Sunrider: "Worry about that, I would not. Another will very soon have the opportunity to lead the Jedi in a new direction. But for now, we are doing things the way I have instructed you all to do. The wisdom of the Jedi of old, I have.... a close connection to them, I feel. Patience and sacrifice are required to prevail here, but we will prevail. I sense fear spreading among many of you... your faith in the Light Side has been shaken. Living proof, I am; it is not over until it is over. Keep your faith in the Light Side of the Force, and prevail over the Dark Side, you will."

Drafo Tylum: "Not me, your grace. You can speak with soaring rhetoric about hope and change, and your failures will still be apparent. And not one optimistic word you have spoken means anything to me, as my death approaches. You've been fooled by hope, and that foolish optimism will be our undoing."

Nomi Sunrider: "So certain are you, in our defeat? When a man is convinced he is going to fail, then fail he will. Pessimism yields no reward, and is a path to the Dark Side. Now, young one, move into the hangar bay and prepare to rejoin the Force."

Drafo Tylum: "You'll have to drag me there. I'm not going!"

Nomi Sunrider: "So be it, young one. Bring him to the hangar."


Several of the larger and stronger Jedi grabbed Drafo Tylum, and many others ignited their lightsabers. Drafo struggled to break free, but it was no use. He was hauled off and tossed through the airlock, and the hangar bay was sealed. He looked back at the Jedi with a mix of sadness and anger on his face.


Drafo shouted "I told you so" just as Nomi Sunrider threw the switch and dropped the force field. He was blown out into space where he quickly suffocated and died. His body was tractored back in to be examined. The medical droids pronounced him dead, and Nomi reached out with the force and looked for any signs of life. She felt nothing.


Nomi Sunrider: "This one was a Jedi. A troubled, undisciplined Jedi, but he was no Sith. His death was a mistake, and he was right."



Shaking her head, she turned toward the Jedi. "Those of you who are scheduled for the Knighting ceremony, come with me please. Those who are scheduled for training, please come with me. Those of you on Alpha Shift, begin first watch. Beta Shift, it is time for sleep. Tonight I want you to cover the engineering section, the weapons locker, the computer core, and the turbolifts. I will assign some who are trusted to perform security checks elsewhere in the ship. I sense that tonight, some of us will be in great danger. Watch yourselves."


With that, she and many of the other Jedi went to her quarters, and everyone else began their security rounds or turned in for the night.

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Monday, November 8th, Eastern Time USA

Click for music

Stre-don Rett was on his way back to his quarters, when he felt as though he were being followed. Ducking into one of the unoccupied rooms, he attempted to shield his presence from the minds of others. He could sense a figure moving down the hallway, searching for something.

The figure lifted a hand and reached out with the force, attempting to do.... something. But Stre-don Rett's trick mis-directed him.

The figure lifted his other hand and reached deeper into the Force, trying to do something else, but the trick worked again, and nothing happened.

The figure searched several rooms, but finally gave up and left. Stre-don chuckled at this, and exited the room he was in.

________________

Elsewhere on the ship, in the morgue near the medical bay, a cloaked figure began searching for something... or someone.

Unknown: "Hmmm.... remarkably well-preserved. You'll do, for now."

The figure laid hands on the body of the fallen Jax Revus, and reached deep.... deep into the Netherworld of the Force. A tremor was felt by everyone on the ship, indicating a massive disturbance.

The mortal wounds on the corpse were healed immediately, and the body was brought back up to normal temperature.

Then, the cloaked being grabbed the body by the throat, and by the chest, and began concentrating. Energy poured from the being, and soon, Jax Revus' heart began to beat, and electrical activity was restored to the nervous system. The trauma of death was reversed in the brain as well, and Revus began choking and coughing, and tried to sit up, but could not move, as the powerful being gripped him by the throat, and looked into his eyes.

The figure said nothing to Jax Revus, and Jax couldn't quite see who was staring down at him, due to temporary blindness. But he could sense a powerful Force presence. The figure walked out of the morgue and disappeared into the night.

Jax Revus, disoriented, stumbled out of the morgue and tried to make his way down the hall by feeling with his hands. He was cold, and needed clothing... and food. He was incredibly hungry... and he felt weak. But, he was alive.

________________

Ker'ral Fisid was in his quarters, when the door slid open without warning. Standing before him was a cloaked figure, with a neutral expression on their face.

Ker'ral was not expecting any visitors, and was unprepared for a fight. However, he still had one trick up his sleeve.... with a quick motion of his hands, the overhead lighting blew out and his quarters became pitch dark. He quickly ducked behind some of his furniture and masked his force presence.

The cloaked figure, undeterred, stepped into the darkness.

Unknown: "I do not need to see you.... I can still kill you, Ker'ral."

Ker'ral hoped this wasn't so, but remained still and continued to mask his presence.

The cloaked figure summoned powerful energy from the Force, and channeled it through his being. The figure turned and faced Ker'ral's last known location and began screaming.... in a way that would shatter bulkheads. The decibel level was well beyond deafening, it was life-threatening. The impact of the scream caused the furniture in the room to shatter and blow against the wall, taking Ker'ral with it. His body was broken by the sound vibration, and he died before he knew what hit him. There was never any chance of survival.

The cloaked figure examined the body to make sure he was dead, and then left his quarters before anyone could see.

And yet, someone did see a figure leaving, and heard the powerful scream. This person examined the body of Ker'ral, but left the scene in a hurry.

________________

Mace Wyyrlar returned to his quarters, when he was approached by a cloaked figure wielding a purple lightsaber.

"What are you doing here?" asked Wyyrlar, but the cloaked figure didn't respond. The attacker advanced in a standard Djem So stance, preparing to turn Wyyrlar's moves against him. But Wyyrlar did not ignite his lightsaber, if he had one. Instead, Wyyrlar reached deep into the Force, and lifted his hands toward his attacker.

In an instant, the cloaked figure was swept up in a wave of the Force, and went flying down the hallway, landing with a thud against the opposite wall a thousand meters away. He did not get back to his feet for some time.

Mace Wyyrlar simply continued to his quarters.

________________

"Confer on you, the Rank of Jedi Knight, this council does." Nomi Sunrider said, to the figure kneeling before her. "You may be seated."


The next figure approached, and knelt before Nomi Sunrider. "Confer on you, the Rank of...."


Nomi paused.


"We're all in danger. Everyone, leave this room immediately."


Sure enough, the doors of the shuttle bay opened, and a cloaked figure stood facing the newly-promoted Jedi Knights.

Unknown figure: "All that work, for nothing...."


The figure began cackling, and tossed a thermal detonator into the middle of the crowd of Jedi, but Nomi was there to draw it into her hands with the Force. The Jedi Knights had no time to escape, as the doors to the shuttle bay were sealed just as quickly as they had been opened. The thermal detonator had a timer, and there was only three seconds remaining.

Nomi reached deep into the Force for the answer.... she felt the device with the Force, and immediately understood everything about it. She felt the experiences of the Jedi Masters of old flowing through her, and knew precisely how to disarm the device.

One second remained, and Nomi reached out with her mind and disabled the detonator, while keeping the security device from tripping and causing the explosion anyway. She continued the circuit with her mind, and the device was stable for as long as she held it. Then she grasped the explosive casing, and concentrated. In a few seconds, she tore the explosive casing off and removed the volatile materials, and handed them to one of her students. She relaxed her mind, and the circuit became incomplete, and the security device triggered, and tried to detonate the explosive. But nothing happened.

She looked at her students.

"Go. That was not the attack I saw in my vision. You are all still in very grave danger. Disperse, young Jedi."

______________________





Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms.


"We were very fortunate last night. Several of our Jedi Knights, and myself, were nearly killed in an attempt on my life. But as I told them, that was not the attack I have foreseen. That is yet to come. I tried to sleep, but the vision came again. My fate truly is unavoidable, as we have failed to stop the Sith in time. They will attack me tonight."

Nomi paused, as the Jedi began to try to think of ways to prevent it from happening.

"Don't. If I do not intervene in the next attack, many of you will die. That is why it cannot be stopped." Nomi stated.

One of the Jedi spoke up anyway.

"What if we all scatter? Won't that stop it?"

Nomi shook her head. "I have duties to perform which are too important and cannot be delayed any longer. Lives depend on it. Regardless of the circumstances, I must go ahead with the ceremony."

"Don't we know for sure that those attending the Knighting ceremony weren't Sith, now?" said another.

Nomi shook her head again. "It could have been an assassin droid made to look like a Sith. Or there could be other explanations; the Dark Side has a way of tricking you into thinking a certain way, do not be fooled. No one here has been made more or less of a suspect than before by that attack. It is best to put it out of your mind entirely, lest the dark side corrupt you."


Then she turned toward the now-clothed Jax Revus.


"Back from the dead, I see. What are your intentions?" asked Nomi Sunrider.

The other Jedi turned and noticed Jax, and were horrified. Wasn't he the Sith Apprentice who died on the first night of their journey?

Jax Revus just grinned. Several of the Jedi ignited their lightsabers, but Jax just stood there, motionless, still grinning, as if he was unafraid.

Jax Revus: "Don't you at least have to vote on something like that?"

Nomi stared at Jax, uncertain of what to do. She also knew she couldn't advise the Jedi one way or the other on this matter. Something in the Force told her to stay her tongue. This was the Council's decision, not hers.


Still, she did not return to her quarters as she usually did. She stood, watching Jax Revus, hand on her lightsaber, prepared for what might happen next.


"It's time to discuss and vote on our next action, my friends. Do as you will." Nomi said, betraying none of her emotions, but keeping her focus directly on Revus.

Nomi Sunrider was tired, after a long day of discussion. Noting that it was almost time to begin Night Watch, she asked for the results.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.

The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out they had decided that one of them was likely to be a Sith.

"Yes we have, your grace." said a Master Jedi.

"Who is the chosen one?" Nomi asked.

"Cah Andwal, your grace."

"Allow him to present his defense." Nomi said, keeping a watchful eye on everyone.

Cah Andwal: "I am a Sith Lord?"

The ghost of Jacin Sky: "Yes, that is what you told me."

Cah Andwal: "I did? Why would I say such a silly thing?"

Jacin Sky: "You tell me."

Nomi Sunrider: "Wait.... do you deny being a Sith Lord, Cah Andwal?"

Cah Andwal: "Yes.... Master Sky says I am, and that is most peculiar indeed. I am pretty sure I am not one."

Nomi Sunrider: "I would be quite interested to know what sort of strange conversations have been happening privately. I sincerely doubt a Sith Lord would just tell you he is a Sith Lord."

Jacin Sky: "I.... guess that's true, your grace."

Nomi Sunrider: "Where did you hear this nonsense from?"

Several fingers were pointed. Some at Jax Revus, some at Jacin Sky, and some at Cah Andwal. Clearly unimpressed with the Council's decision, she led the elderly Initiate to the hangar bay, where the old man sat and grinned at the other Jedi.

Cah Andwal: "There's no reason to fear. I am not a Sith Lord. And, I accept your decision."

Nomi Sunrider reassured the elderly gentleman that it would all be over soon, and that he wouldn't feel a thing.

Cah Andwal: "I know, young Sunrider. We will meet again soon."

Nomi Sunrider nodded sadly, and closed the air lock, and threw the switch. Cah Andwal was blown out into space where he promptly died. His body was tractored back into the bay where it was examined by medical droids, and Nomi re-established the pressurized atmosphere and entered the bay. She laid a hand on Cah Andwal's body, and knew he was dead. She could feel that the Light Side of the Force was with this departed Jedi.

Nomi frowned, as this confirmed her expectations and added to a long line of pointless failures. A waste of life, so terrible, that it moved Nomi. A single tear dropped from her face as she recounted all the horrible experiences of the past six days in her mind. Perhaps the strain was getting to her. Still, she had duties to perform. And she would continue along this path until it ended.


Nomi Sunrider: "We lost another of our own. Shake off this failure, and think about our next moves. Report to me for training, those I have selected, and those who are attending the Apprenticeship ceremony, please follow me. Those who are on Alpha and Beta shift who are not attending, begin your rounds or return to your quarters. Station guards near the Engines and Life-support systems, we're going to be low on staff tonight for obvious reasons.

One last thing my friends....

The Dark Side clouds everything. Clear your thoughts must be, if you are to find the Sith. Purge from your mind false information, and strong emotion which can cloud your judgment, and reach out and feel the Force. It will speak to you.... but it takes a quiet mind to hear. Your instincts will serve you well, if they are free of distracting influences. There is so much more I wished to teach you. But the Order will go on, and you will discover the secrets of the Force. I will be watching.

We will hold the ceremony in a cargo hold I have selected at random. May the Force continue to watch over and protect us."

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Thursday, November 11th, Eastern Time USA

Qui Ul'pat was on her way to the Apprenticeship ceremony, when she sensed great danger approaching. She looked around for cover, but there wasn't any in this barren corridor. Then she saw the figure approaching from the far side of the corridor, right in the direction she was supposed to be heading. She turned and ran for cover, but the blast doors behind her closed.

Unknown: "Leaving so soon? Don't you have to report to Miss Sunrider for your promotion, Jedi?"

Qui Ul'pat: "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just wise enough to avoid it when possible. Don't bother trying to intimidate me."

Unknown: "Oh, you will know fear, Jedi. I promise you that much before you die: you will feel fear, and anger, and all those other feelings that you foolishly deny yourself."

Qui Ul'pat: "Quit stalling and get this over with."

Unknown: "Good, I am glad to hear you're so ready to die. But here, pitiful one, why don't you at least try to give me a challenge?"


The dark figure tossed Qui Ul'pat a lightsaber, which she quickly ignited. It burned brilliant white.

Qui Ul'pat: "What is this for?"

Unknown: "You were to be promoted to Padawan, and this is the saber you were going to be granted. Why don't you prove that you were indeed ready to wield it, Jedi?"

Qui Ul'pat: "Very well, it seems I have no choice."

Unknown: "With that kind of attitude, you'll never defeat me. Why not tap into your feelings, and let the Force flow through you?"

Qui Ul'pat: "I've been trained to resist the Dark Side."

Unknown: "Why resist what you cannot defeat? Give yourself to your emotions, let your passion give you strength. It is your only chance of survival."

Qui Ul'pat: "There are more important things in this life than simply surviving. Everyone dies.... you cannot run from it forever."

Unknown: "...Don't presume to lecture me, 'Jedi'.... I am a hundred thousand times more powerful than you could ever be. Maybe you should shut up and learn something."

Qui Ul'pat: "Power is not the same as wisdom. It is a shame that a being as powerful as you would be so naive as to think that they know so much, that they cannot learn something new from everyone they meet. You would be wise to cast aside your faith in the Dark Side of the Force, and let go of your ambition and hatred. All they do is blind you."

Unknown: *sneering* "What does a Jedi Initiate know about wisdom that I do not?"

Qui Ul'pat: "At least you have the courage to ask the question. Now you're learning."

Unknown: "I hate Jedi. I hate the smug condescension, I hate the moral superiority complex, I hate the lectures, and I hate how pathetic and weak you all are. Killing you will prove which of us is right."

Qui Ul'pat: "If you kill me, all you will have proven is that you can kill me. I will still be right."

With that, the dark figure roared with frustration, and ignited the crimson lightsaber....

Unknown: "Here's a lesson they didn't teach you at the academy.... how not to die like a mewling infant."

Then the being ignited the other end of it.... revealing that it was in fact a double-bladed lightsaber.

Qui Ul'pat: "I am honored that you think it will require two killing strokes with a lightsaber to defeat me. You must find me very impressive."

Unknown: "There's that smugness again. I will hear more of your jokes after I've removed my saber from your cold, dead body."

Qui Ul'pat: "Happy to oblige."



Annoyed by this, the cloaked being roared again, and the entire deck began to shudder and buckle from the stress. A ripple of the Force was felt, and it tore rivets clean out of the bulkheads. The young Initiate grinned slightly, seeing how her words were affecting this being.



Unknown: "You're really starting to make me furious. Are you prepared for the kind of death you've earned, little lady?"

Qui Ul'pat: "If you're so powerful and wise, how is it that merely my words can cause you to lose control? An automated assembler droid has many powerful tools, but they are useless and dangerous when the droid's control unit is removed. Often the unit simply.... self-destructs."

Unknown: "Then perhaps one day I will self-destruct! But before that happens, I will make sure every last one of you Jedi are dead. That is enough for me!"

Qui Ul'pat: "And what will that have accomplished for you? You won't even be able to enjoy your victory. What will you have gained?"

Unknown: "Glory.... victory over my enemies.... unimaginable power.... and deep satisfaction. My name will be echoed throughout the ages, and no one will forget who it was that took down the Jedi Order. And no one will remember who you are, you simple insect!"

Qui Ul'pat: "If my words are lost on you, and all I have done is delay you from harming others, then I will still have prevailed over you in my own way. You have failed to truly defeat me, and your premature gloating has failed to impress me."

The cloaked being simply grinned. This time, all the anger vanished from the being.

Unknown: "Did you really think this was about impressing you, or defeating you, in your mind, on your terms? All I need to win is to see you lying dead before me, and I can already see that in my mind. It is your destiny to die by my hand. That is when I will have beaten you."

Qui Ul'pat: "You will have beaten me when all the Jedi on this vessel, and all across the galaxy, and all sentient life forms with the desire for freedom, have been wiped from existence, and not before. And when you die.... and you will die.... all your accomplishments will be for naught."

Unknown: "Dying? On the contrary, I plan to live forever. I don't intend on being some powerless Force Ghost like your friend Jacin Sky. I will become so powerful that death cannot touch me. And the Jedi will be the ones who face death.... no matter what happens, I still win. If I have to be the last one standing in the entire Universe, I will still be victorious!!!"

Qui Ul'pat: "That sounds rather lonely. Who will you gloat towards?"

Unknown: "Your lifeless bodies, and your pathetic force ghosts, if need be."

Qui Ul'pat: "In order to enjoy your victory, you still need us around? Perhaps you seek our approval after all? Maybe all this really IS about impressing us, even though you deny it."

Unknown: ".....WHAT??? What are you blathering on about now, you idiot?"

Qui Ul'pat: "It just seems like you're expending your entire existence and all of your power attempting to prove something to the Jedi, and all who oppose you.... which that you can wipe us all out. And, even if you theoretically succeed, there will be no one left who is capable of being impressed by this. And your goal of living forever in a universe entirely populated by you and everyone who bows down before you.... it seems rather boring and pointless to me. Perhaps one day, you will be forced to end your own life, just to experience something different."

Unknown: "Hahahaha.... I do believe that removing your head from your frail little body will be the most enjoyable thing I have ever experienced. Let's shut that annoying little mouth forever, shall we?"

Qui Ul'pat switched off the white lightsaber that the cloaked being had given her, and tossed it at the creature's feet.

Qui Ul'pat: "Seems I didn't need this after all. If you must silence me in order to win, then you have not truly defeated me. So certain are you, that I have nothing to teach you?"

Unknown: "Quite certain."


The cloaked being stood in a Form VII stance, and quickly closed the space between them, and sliced clean through the unarmed Jedi's neck, killing her instantly. When the cloaked being looked his victim in the eyes, just before her death, he saw no fear. An instant later, her expression was blank. Something about this was unsatisfying to the creature, but he quickly shook it off and savored the look of the fallen Jedi. Then the being disappeared into the night.

______________________

Stre-don Rett was almost to the cargo bay, when he sensed danger approaching. He quickly masked his presence and hurried down one of the side corridors, and turned the corner. Then he waited. Sure enough, a cloaked figure was coming down the main corridor.

Dark Figure: "Come out, come out, wherever you are....."

Stre-don said nothing, and remained perfectly still and out of sight, re-directing the thoughts of others away from his body.

Dark Figure: "This little Jedi was going to the Apprenticeship ceremony.... but this little Jedi stayed home. This little Jedi was going to have a lightsaber.... but this little Jedi had none. And this little Jedi squealed for his life and BEGGED FOR MERCY, AND THIS LITTLE JEDI GOT NONE!!!"

Stre-don concentrated on masking his presence, and blocked out the taunting from his mind.

Dark Figure: "Cute creature had a little dad, little dad, little dad, Cute creature had a little dad, whose saber was white as snow. And everywhere that daddy went, daddy went, daddy went, and everywhere that daddy went, his doom was sure to follow."


Stre-don heard a clattering noise at the hallway intersection. The cloaked being had tossed Rett a lightsaber.

Dark Figure: "Tag.... you're dead, Jedi."

Stre-don couldn't believe it. Somehow, his mind trick wasn't working. The being had found him, and began speaking in a mock Yoda voice.

Dark Figure: "See through you, I can. Sense great fear in you, yes.... and soon, the satisfaction of watching life drain from your body, I will feel. Yes.... hehehehehee."

Stre-don came out from hiding, and kicked the saber back towards the dark figure.

Stre-don Rett: "Do what you came here to do. I won't give you the satisfaction of being your plaything."

The cloaked figure summoned the lightsaber back up from the deck plating, and began speaking to it in a mock child's voice.

Dark Figure: "Did you hear that, mister whitesaber? Daddy doesn't want to play with us. He's a big meanie! What are we going to do? Whatever are we going to do? What do we do with big, grumpy meanies who don't want to play with us? Maybe we should cheer him up....."

Stre-don Rett was puzzled by what he was hearing.

Dark Figure: "I know what mister grumpy-pants needs in order to cheer up. So let's give it to him! Let's give him a..... big.... HUG!!!"



The Dark Figure ignited the white lightsaber and threw it directly at Stre-don's head, causing him to duck. When he stood back up, the cloaked figure had both hands outstretched, as if compressing something durable with all his strength. Stre-don felt his windpipe begin to close up, and he felt as though he had been kicked in the stomach. All the air left his lungs, and his ribcage collapsed. Blood shot out of his nose, and he went limp.... but remained upright, as if suspended by an invisible force. His body continued to compress and crush, until the wounds he sustained were lethal. The lifeless Jedi was tossed against the end of the corridor and crumpled as it came to rest.


Dark Figure: "Hush little Jedi, don't say a word.
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
I'll blow its lifeless body out the nearest airlock."

With that, the dark figure cackled hysterically, and hurried to the turbolift, leaving behind the lightsaber that would have belonged to Rett, if only he had made it to the apprenticeship ceremony alive.

______________________

Ushan Nihlek was not attending the Apprenticeship ceremony, and was busy guarding another part of the ship, down in the Engineering section. Armed with a brand-new double-bladed lightsaber, Nihlek felt ready to face any challenge posed by the Sith. Sure enough, he heard a tapping on one of the nearby blast doors. After a few tense moments, the door slid open, revealing a cloaked figure. Strangely, the cloaked figure began to sing and dance.


Cloaked figure: "I got a plan for you and I
Let's journey across the Venetian skies
Can I have some of your cookies? Can I have some of your pie?
May I cut the first slice? So won't you
Scream at the top of your lungs if your body's feeling right
Scream at the top of your lungs if your body's feeling right"

Ushan Nihlek: "I don't understand your sense of humor. Am I supposed to find this amusing?"

The cloaked figure just shrugged, and unleashed a scream unlike anything Ushan Nihlek had ever heard. To be precise, Ushan didn't hear this one either, as it rendered him instantly deaf. His body, his lightsaber, and half of the corridor, was torn apart by the violent vibration and force of the scream. Ushan's bones shattered into a thousand pieces, and what was left of his body splattered against the far wall.

Cloaked figure: "Scream at the top of your lungs if your body's feeling right....
Scream at the top of your lungs if your body's feeling right...."

The cloaked figure continued singing and dancing, as the blast doors closed once more.

______________________

Taun Jan was heading somewhere, when Jan sensed danger approaching. Using the force, Jan managed to avoid detection, and duck into a nearby room.


The cloaked figure turned the corner, expecting to see Taun, but found nothing. Reaching out with the force, the figure sensed nothing. The figure raised his hands and tried to do something..... but nothing happened. Disappointed, the cloaked figure walked away.

______________________

Jax Revus returned from his disappointing outing, and considered going to the Apprenticeship ceremony after all. But really, would Nomi Sunrider give him a lightsaber? Would the other Jedi accept him as one of their own after everything that happened? Besides, wasn't tonight the night that.....

A cloaked figure turned the corner, interrupting Revus' thoughts. A familiar presence.... Jax was already enraged just by the sight of this one. He quickly ignited his red lightsaber.

Unknown: "So, Jax Revus, we meet again for the first time for the last time! And I see your lightsaber is as big as mine! Let's see how well you.... handle it."


Revus simply growled at his cocky foe, and took a standard Shii-Cho defensive stance. The anonymous attacker ignited his purple lightsaber, and stood in a classic Soresu form. Wasting no time, the two powerful beings advanced on each other, clashing sabers and meeting each other blow for blow.

Jax Revus: "You don't really think you'll win, do you?"

Unknown: "Oh I don't know, Jax, while you've been rotting in the morgue, I've been training. And I did kick your all over the ship the last time we met. Who do YOU think will win this contest?"


Revus simply scoffed.


Jax Revus: "Whatever. I cheated death the last time, I'll just do it again. But who will save you, fool? What will you do when I climb back out of the morgue and shove my lightsabers through your pointy little head?"

Unknown: "I don't think you've got that kind of skill, Darth. Now be a good little boy and stay dead this time."


Using a mind trick, the cloaked attacker misdirected Jax into thinking he was going to sidestep to the right, but he went left instead, and impaled Jax through the chest, and then kicked his red lightsaber out of his hands. The figure grinned victoriously.


Unknown: "Hope it's not too cold for you in the body storage freezer."


The cloaked figure withdrew the purple lightsaber and watched Revus crumple back against the deck, and fade into lifelessness, then the figure disappeared into the night.



Another figure appeared, and raised its hands in the direction of the fallen Revus, but nothing happened. The stranger left the scene.

______________________

Nomi Sunrider stood in the cargo bay, which was filled to capacity with Jedi Initiates seeking to become apprentices, as well as mountains of cargo containers. She called each of the Initiates up to her one by one, and congratulated them on their accomplishments, and handed each of them a lightsaber, and gave them a warm hug.

Nomi Sunrider: "Well done, congratulations. You've all taken the first steps into a much larger world. You've come much farther than most other Force-sensitives ever do, along a path that will bring you wisdom, strength, and perseverance even in the darkest of times."

The newly-minted Padawans looked around the cargo bay nervously.

Nomi Sunrider: "Yes, you have every reason to be afraid. My visions never stopped, and I've been unable to sleep for some time. I recorded all my thoughts in the Jedi Holocron, as my time with you is coming to an end. The cargo bay is not safe, but then again, none of the rooms on this ship are safe. You see, the Dark One can see the future as well as I can. No matter where I held this ceremony, you would have been in the same kind of danger. The setting of the attack was the only thing I could control, and that is why I chose this cargo bay. You are all very brave, coming here after what I told you. To face your fears is to conquer them. You must conquer your fears if you are to defeat the Dark Side. Do not let the fear of loss deter you, or cause you to stray from the path."

Nomi smiled.

"I have foreseen a great victory for the Jedi Order. The future, always in motion, is very difficult to predict that far out. But I know it is possible, and if you continue to fight on and stay true, you will not be defeated. Even when it seems hopeless.... even when it seems unfair. The Dark Side will trick you into thinking that you cannot win. They do have powers that are well beyond anything I can counter alone. That is why you must be trained.... you must learn the ways of the Force, and become full Jedi. You must become STRONG with the Light Side of the Force.... only then, will you be powerful enough to defeat the Sith.

But it is not impossible. Never for one second allow yourself to think that this is so. The Sith have been defeated before, under far graver circumstances, with impossible odds. Through the Force, nothing is impossible. Although we may not be able to change our fates, at times.... we still control our collective destiny. And we will live on, through the Force. And we will shine brightly, through the darkness. And we will not be defeated, even in death.

Always remember.... and may the Force be with you."


As Nomi finished speaking, a cloaked figure opened the interior airlock, held up a device, pressed the trigger, and fled the scene, laughing maniacally.



No less than 20 of the cargo containers inside the hold blew open, revealing giant thermal detonators strapped to cylinders of matter and anti-matter. Each of the detonators was on a timer, and there were only five seconds left remaining on the timer.... just enough for the Sith to escape the scene.


Reacting quickly, Nomi Sunrider reached deep into the Force, and lifted each of the Jedi Padawans off of the deck, and unleashed a massive Force Wave which knocked them through the interior airlock, back into the main corridor, where they collapsed onto the ground, unharmed. Then, Nomi reached out with the force, and slammed the airlock shut.

Two seconds remained on the timer, and there was enough explosive contained in the cargo bay to blow up half the ship, and take most of the Jedi with it. Nomi turned toward the exterior cargo bay door, and unleashed a massive Force Whirlwind, blowing the metal hatch and overloading the outer force field. The pressurized atmosphere inside the cargo bay blew Nomi and the cargo containers out into space, where they passed through the ship's powerful deflector shields.

The containers exploded harmlessly in space, with the ship's deflector shields blocking almost all of the impact. The ship shuddered, and some power relays blew out, but the shields held.

The only casualty from the attack was..... the one who spared the rest.







Nomi Sunrider - Former Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Sol Jade- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

The next morning, Jedi Master Sol Jade found the Jedi Holocron had been left inside his quarters. The Holocron immediately began playing the last thing that was recorded on it.



Nomi Sunrider: "Congratulations, Master Jade. As the eldest and most experienced Jedi Master, you are the most qualified to lead the Jedi Order into a new era. Contained within this Holocron are all my logs, notes, and observations.... everything I know about the Sith and their ways. And some of the things I've discovered about the Light Side of the force as well. It is my hope that you use this knowledge to aid the Jedi in their struggle against the Sith. But be careful... some of the knowledge contained within is dangerous in the wrong hands, because it tells you about the Dark Side. One must be prepared before viewing this information, because it is corrupting.

Lead them to victory. May the Force be with you as well, my friend."




Grandmaster Sol Jade approached the mourning Jedi, and reviewed the security recordings from the night prior. He was a bit overwhelmed by all this, and needed to take some time to study the information kept in Nomi's log.


Sol Jade: "Please continue with the voting as normal. We will have time to mourn our losses later. For now, let us do the fallen Jedi, and Nomi Sunrider, a service and honor their memory the best way we can... which is bringing their murderers to justice."




With that, the long, horrible night was over. And a new hope began.

A Close Second:

Ignoramus: (2) dcmort93, Sasaki Kojiro

Sol Jade put a stop to the discussion at the appropriate time.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Jade asked.

The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out they had decided almost unanimously that one among them was guilty.

"Yes we have, Grandmaster." said a Jedi.

"'Master' will do just fine... I'm not used to being called Grandmaster yet. Who is the chosen one?" Jade asked.

"Mace Wyyrlar, Master."

"Allow him to present his defense." Jade said.

Mace Wyyrlar: "I told you already, I am innocent of this crime, and you won't be killing me this way! I told you I have the power to survive this, but you wouldn't listen!"

Sol Jade: "Survive it or not, your peers think you are guilty of this crime. Why do you suppose that is?"

Mace Wyyrlar: "Their senses haven't been properly attuned? I don't know. Obviously they seem to think I am guilty based on trying to read my thoughts. Maybe they haven't been reading them properly."

Sol Jade: "I sincerely doubt that. What are the use of senses if they can't be trusted? The Jedi have been using their senses to guide them for many thousands of years."

Mace Wyyrlar: "Didn't you guys say that Lo'son Galeb was guilty of being a Sith? and Cah Andwal too?"

Sol Jade: "Cah Andwal was an elderly man who was confused into admitting guilt when none was there. As for Galeb, I cannot explain that."

Mace Wyyrlar: "Maybe you should try to explain it, Master Jedi. I may not know who the Sith are, but I know I am not one of them. You'll see...."


Mace Wyyrlar turned to all the other Jedi, and began screaming.


Mace Wyyrlar: "You'll all see!!! WHEN IT IS TOO LATE, YOU WILL SEE!!! YOUR ARROGANCE BLINDS YOU, MASTER JEDI!!!"

Sol Jade: "I've seen enough. Control yourself, Master Wyyrlar. The judgment has already been rendered."

Mace Wyyrlar: "Then what's the point of asking me for my defense after rendering judgment? This whole process is idiotic beyond belief. It will be your undoing!"

Sol Jade: "Take him away. Put him in the airlock, I'm tired of listening to this."


Several large, burly Jedi ignited their sabers and pushed Mace into the airlock, and closed it behind him. They watched as he stood fuming in the center of the hangar bay, waiting for the execution to commence. Suddenly, Mace went calm..... and was at peace. He grinned back at the Jedi, and the force field was released. He was blown out into space, where he lay motionless for a while. They left him outside for a long while, just to be sure. Then Sol Jade tractored his body back into the bay and restored pressure. They all gathered around his body, and Sol Jade lay hands on him to determine if he was still alive or n......


"Surprise! I told you I would survive this whole ordeal, and I was telling the truth! Now do you believe me?" Mace Wyyrlar said suddenly, startling Grandmaster Sol Jade. "The ability to survive out in space doesn't mean you're innocent." replied Jade. Mace Wyyrlar got up, and pushed the medical droids away from him. "I'm fine, get off of me. Now look, gentlemen, ladies, I'm going to begin my night watch rounds. If you want to find Sith, you'd better look someplace else!"

Some of the Jedi murmured. "This proves nothing either way. The Sith are known to have that power, but so are the Jedi." Sol Jade reminded them. "If so certain you are that this one is guilty, then we must remain vigilant."

Mace Wyyrlar sneered back at them "Yeah good luck with that. While you're wasting your time I'm going to go find the actual Sith."

Mace left the hangar bay, while the other Jedi remained behind and listened to Jade's instructions.

"I want you to report to the areas of the ship I assign you, in secret. While I respect Nomi's defense strategy, I don't feel that announcing it publicly was a good idea. Perhaps we will have better luck if your plans remain hidden from each other. Alpha shift, meet with me to find out where your watch begins, Beta shift, I will contact you privately and tell you where to go when the time is right. Those of you attending the promotion ceremony tonight, meet with me after the others leave, I want your ceremony's location to be secret until it is almost time. Everyone, be on your guard... we've seen the Sith attacks increasing and we failed to stop the Sith today. I expect more dead bodies in the morning if we are not careful. You're all dismissed."

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Saturday, November 13th, Eastern Time USA

Gall Rado was returning to his quarters, wondering what would become of this Mace Wyyrlar. As soon as he rounded the corner, he saw that there was a cloaked figure waiting for him in front of his doorway. He turned around and fled the scene, but the cloaked figure spotted him. Gall managed to make it halfway down the corridor when the figure appeared at the end of it, prepared to give chase. Thinking quickly, Gall stopped and summoned a burst of energy from the Force, and turned around. He unleashed the energy in a bright flash, enough to blind or stun most sentient life-forms. The attacker was fazed for a moment, but shrugged it off and unleashed a massive force scream.

The scream ripped through Gall Rado's body, and left the remains in a mess all over the deck plating. The attacker checked to make sure their victim was dead, and fled the scene.

______________________

Taun Jan was off patrolling the lower decks, on guard in case of an attack. Through her connection to the Force, she sensed danger, and tried to mask her force signature. She projected a false echo of herself several corridors over, and hoped for the best. She closed her eyes and concentrated.


Unknown: "Do you really think I'd fall for such a feeble trick?"


The cloaked figure standing in front of her grasped her by the throat, and lifted her up off of the ground.


Unknown: "So young.... so pretty.... I like you, Jedi. Your features please me. Perhaps you would be willing to become my mate?"


The cloaked figure bared its jagged fangs. Taun Jan struggled helplessly against the powerful grip, and could not breathe.


Unknown: "No need to play hard to get, now. If you desire me, just say so."


Taun Jan was getting just as furious as she was frightened. She tried to grab her lightsaber, but the cloaked figure gripped her by her wrist, and prevented her from swinging it.


Unknown: "I'm going to take that as a no."


The cloaked figure began tightening the grip around Taun Jan, crushing her windpipe and her wrist simultaneously. The young Jedi struggled furiously, but couldn't move.


Unknown: "I want you to know that I truly enjoyed our time together. Now, why don't we spend some time apart?"


The cloaked figure released the grip, and threw the body of Taun Jan against the bulkhead so viciously, that the impact crushed her ribcage. She died from these wounds.

______________________

Mace Wyyrlar was still furious from the treatment he received earlier. Instead of reporting for his assigned shift, he began pacing the halls, searching for something. When he reached the cargo bays, he began to patrol there. The spacious corridors down here were less claustrophobic.

Sensing he had been followed, Mace looked behind him, and saw that there was a cloaked figure on the far end of the corridor. He turned around to escape, and saw another cloaked figure on the near end of the corridor.

Mace Wyyrlar: "This just hasn't been my day...."

First Cloaked Figure: "No, Wyyrlar, the day is MINE!"

The figure on the near side of the corridor ignited a purple lightsaber and charged toward Mace, and would reach him first. The attacker used a standard Form III stance.

Mace responded by igniting his own emerald lightsaber, and took up a Form II stance.

The two powerful figures battled it out, and Wyyrlar was surprised to see his opponent suddenly switch in combat to a Form VI- Niman stance. This did not deter Wyyrlar, and he continued battling until he sensed the second cloaked figure approaching from behind. Now was his chance. He reached deeply into the Force, and unleashed a powerful wave that sent both figures flying in opposing directions. The first figure crumpled against the near wall, and was knocked unconscious. The second figure rolled to a stop, and quickly got back to their feet.


Second Cloaked Figure: "It is useless to resist. Don't make me destroy you."


Mace Wyyrlar held up his emerald lightsaber and began to advance in the Makashi stance. The second cloaked figure took a Soresu stance, but before the lightsaber battle could begin, the cloaked figure unleashed a Force Push of his own, knocking Wyyrlar to his backside, lowering his defenses. The cloaked figure raised his hands and they began to glow and crackle. Before Wyyrlar could recover, a bolt of lightning was sent through his body, causing him to drop his lightsaber. Mace Wyyrlar screamed helplessly, and tried to beg for mercy, but the anonymous attacker simply increased the amount of force lightning. The power of this attack caused Wyyrlar's skin to melt, and his body to begin to cook. He died painfully, and slowly.


The second cloaked figure looked up, and the first one was gone. The second one also retreated without saying another word.

______________________

An-Wan Dyas was patrolling the upper decks, monitoring the shields and weapons systems. The nights just seemed to be getting longer. She needed rest. She heard the sound of the turbolift at the end of the deck coming to a halt, and watched as a cloaked figure stepped off of the platform, blue lightsaber ignited.

Unknown: Your sword, please. I don't want to make a mess of things, An-Wan Dyas.

An-Wan said nothing, but ignited her blue lightsaber as well.

The cloaked figure advanced, in a Form II- Makashi stance, as did An-Wan Dyas. The two figures almost seemed to mirror each other's movements exactly. The style was perfect against a single opponent, as the two combatants matched each other thrust for parry, and counter-thrust. Each elegant swing was matched by an equally refined deflection. An-Wan attempted to use her senses to predict the movements of her opponent, but they could not.

Finally, the cloaked figure deflected a swing from An-Wan, and unleashed a massive blast of Light. The sudden blast of energy caused An-Wan to pause momentarily, but she was otherwise unaffected. The momentary hesitation allowed the cloaked figure to move in under her guard, and slice the blue lightsaber out of her hand, and then the cloaked figure twisted around and delivered a forceful kick to An-Wan's shoulders, and she went down. The blue lightsaber was pulled back into the cloaked figure's hand, and An-Wan watched helplessly as the mysterious attacker advanced, and held the two lightsabers on either side of her neck, ready to deliver the final cut.

She knelt before the victor, and prepared for her death.


Unknown: .........


The cloaked figure turned around and walked away, sparing An-Wan Dyas' life. She hurried off to the Medical Bay to get her hand reattached, wondering what the just happened.

______________________

Mar-ial Nih Pho was busy repairing some of the starboard deflector shield generators, and didn't even notice the powerful presence that had just exited the turbolift and was now walking the corridors behind him.


The dark figure summoned energy as it walked towards Nih Pho, concentrating.... becoming one with the Force. Mar-ial finished with his repairs, but sensed danger approaching. He grabbed his purple lightsaber, and turned around quickly to face his foe. The dark figure raised its hands, and its eyes began to glow.

Sensing he was in extreme danger, Mar-ial Nih Pho abandoned the idea of standing and fighting, and just as the creature unleashed its power, Nih Pho used the power of the Force to Jump out of the path of whatever was coming his way.







There was no sound.



It all happened so fast.... there was not much that could have been seen.



In an instant, a Wound in the Force was created, and it ripped a hole clean through the Star Destroyer's hull, breaching several decks and annihilating the deck plating itself. A torrent of force energy so massive that the shockwave was felt by all force-sensitive beings all across the universe, erupted from the dark figure. There was nothing left in its wake.... Mar-ial Nih Pho was obliterated instantly, and time seemed to stand still. The compressed atmosphere on the deck failed to decompress into space. The ship rocked from the sudden explosion, and the emergency force fields failed to switch on automatically, to restore structural integrity.

Space and time had been ripped apart, and the Wound in the Force caused a pocket of Nothingness to appear. Everything that had been in the path of that blast, for several kilometers, was now vanished.... destroyed.... sent into oblivion.


The moment seemed to last for a full minute. The cloaked figure returned to the shadows from whence it came.


The ship continued along in its orbit of Coruscant, and moved away from the Wound in the Force that had been created, and space-time began to exist normally again. Power relays blew out all over the ship, and the deck began to decompress. After a sluggish hesitation, the ship finally erected a stable structural containment field around the gaping hole that had been created in the side of the Star Destroyer.

Mar-ial Nih Pho was gone... forever.

Sol Jade- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Sol Jade called a meeting of the Jedi Council in the morning. It seemed his prediction was right, there had been more attacks last night. More attacks indeed.


"After reviewing the security holograms, it seems clear that this ship is not even remotely safe. As Nomi Sunrider observed, the only reason why this ship is still mostly in one piece is because our foes wish it to be so. It seems beyond my current abilities to stop them from turning this Star Destroyer into nothing more than a scattering of radiation across half the galaxy. But I will study and try to find the source of this power, and hopefully, counter it."


The Jedi in attendance did not seem too enthusiastic about this grim assessment.


"If they wanted us all destroyed, we would be all destroyed. There is another purpose here. Remain vigilant, and put it out of your minds."


The Jedi nodded.


"It seems we were indeed wrong about Mace Wyyrlar, he was a Jedi. As was everyone else who died last night. We have failed to bring down the Sith, so we must start over, once again. Begin discussion, and make certain the ones you accuse are guilty this time! I grow weary of seeing our brothers and sisters slain for no reason!" Sol Jade bellowed.


"I will be back in a few hours. I must meditate and study. Continue with the proceedings."


With that, Sol Jade left for his quarters alone.

Sol Jade ended the discussion at the appropriate time and asked for a vote tally.

"Who have you determined is guilty?"

"An-Wan Dyas, Master."

"Very well, let the accused step forward and give their defense."

An-Wan Dyas: "I ask you to reconsider this course of action. I am not the one you're looking for. This is just a waste of time."

Sol Jade: "Perhaps, perhaps not. Why is it that you're innocent, Master Dyas?"

An-Wan Dyas: "A better question might be, why is it that I am guilty? I have been puzzling and puzzling over this, and frankly, I am at a loss. I've shown enthusiasm for finding the Sith, and that is the sole reason I've been accused it seems. And, the accusation never goes away; it merely feeds upon itself, and others confirm it, and it spreads to another person. Today I've been forced to endure the ridiculous reason that I should be put to death because I haven't already been put to death, and it nearly happened before."

Sol Jade: "I see.... "

An-Wan Dyas: "I am not questioning the loyalties of those accusing me, I am merely suggesting that they lack any reason whatsoever behind what they are doing. And, it doesn't seem to be all that different from previous days and nights. The same bad accusation gets recycled every day, and merely because it has been suggested before and it has not been resolved. What kind of mental loop is this? Are the Sith playing tricks with your minds?"

Sol Jade: "An-Wan, the only way we are going to stop the Sith hiding among us is to collectively think, and collectively find one of us guilty. This is the process we've chosen. Are you suggesting..."

An-Wan Dyas: "The process is fine. But look to how things have gone... people are supposed to be collectively thinking, but instead, they are allowing the group to think for them. Recent deaths have all been wrong, and all enjoyed massive, almost frightening popularity. Where is the debate? Where is the discussion? Where is the chance for a defense to really be given? I don't think the process is wrong, I think that inertia is leading us to our own doom."

Sol Jade: "A fine speech. I remember a Sith by the same of Darth Sidious, in the archives of the Jedi Order, once gave such impassioned speeches that he swallowed the entire Republic into an Empire of his own design. Are we to be persuaded by these pretty words? They sound quite reasonable, but anything can be twisted enough to sound reasonable. I don't trust you, Master Dyas. The council does not trust you. We must know what you are."

An-Wan Dyas: "Not today, you won't. I apologize, but I cannot allow myself to be destroyed in this manner."

Sol Jade: "Guardians, take An-Wan...."

An-Wan Dyas: "That's not what I mean. I'll go in the hangar bay and accept sentence, but I won't allow myself to die, that is all."

Sol Jade: "Your stubborn refusal to accept your fate is something I find curious."

An-Wan Dyas: "No less curious than Mace Wyyrlar's refusal to die, I am sure. But he was a Jedi, and so am I."





Master Dyas entered the hangar bay, and waited quietly for Sol Jade to give the order. She was blown out into space, where she held her breath and kept her body protected from the harsh void. Eventually she floated back into the hangar bay on her own, and pressure was restored. An-Wan Dyas had survived.

"Satisfied?" asked An-Wan Dyas.

"Not entirely.... but you're dismissed for now, Master Dyas." said Sol Jade. "Another wasted day. We must be on guard, as tonight there will be more attacks, this I am certain of. Everyone report to their assigned shifts after your training session is complete, or return to your quarters and get some rest. May the Force be with us."

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Thursday, November 18th, Eastern Time USA

Datian Guus kept careful watch over the damaged section. He was wary of the exposed decks below him, and the gaping hole leading out into space, protected only by a force field. It was his task to sound the alarm if someone attempted to bring down the shields in that section, as it could expose other Jedi to the vacuum of space.

He heard a sound in the distance, and sensing danger, he ducked into one of the nearby collapsed rooms. There was a lot of wreckage inside, and he was able to mask his force signature and remain silent.

After several heart-pounding minutes, he thought about looking up.... to see if someone had found him, but he remained perfectly silent. He concentrated and created an echo of himself a few decks away, hoping to distract whoever was searching for him.

A half-hour passed, and Datian made the echo disappear. He heard a loud roar of frustration, far away, and it was then that he decided to flee the scene altogether. He made it out alive.

_____________________________

Jenn Gon Rui was looking for someone. After shadowing their movements for a couple hours, they turned a corner and Jenn lost track.

Sensing danger, Jenn Gon Rui ignited her Gold Lightsaber.

"Who is there?" Jenn asked. Then, a cloaked figure came around the corner. Jenn stood in a classic Ataru stance, ready for anything. The cloaked figure said nothing.

Reacting instinctively, Jenn Gon Rui reached out with the force and gripped the cloaked figure and lifted the stranger up off of the ground, preventing escape.

Jenn Gon Rui: "I asked you a question. Who are you? Why are you following me?"

The figure struggled to escape, but it didn't work.

Jenn Gon Rui: "You're not going anywhere! You will answer, or I will call for reinforcements!"


The figure did not respond, but reached out with both hands, and began choking Jenn Gon Rui using the Force. This attack worked, as Jenn could not concentrate on keeping her opponent elevated and also prevent the attack. The hands tightened their grip, and Jenn's windpipe and lungs began to collapse. She struggled to breathe, but went down on her knees, trying to keep her opponent away. She couldn't continue the hold, and released the unidentified stranger, who landed softly on the deck plating, and continued to wound Jenn Gon Rui. The figure lifted her up, and sent her flying towards the blast doors on the far end of the corridor. Her body went completely through the solid duranium, but what remained was not all in one piece, or very recognizable. She was killed instantly.

_____________________________

Ushi Makoth was also near the damaged section of the ship, busy with repairs, when she heard a noise. She got up and began to investigate, her lightsaber at the ready. When she turned the corner, and saw the torn apart section, where three decks were exposed and the deck plating had been torn apart above where she was standing, she also noticed a cloaked figure on the far side of the corridor. She ignited her green lightsaber, and stood in a Makashi stance.

She assessed the situation and thought quickly what the most likely threats were. The figure did not have a lightsaber ignited, or visible, and was standing on the far side of the corridor. She quickly realized that there was going to be an attack from a distance, and she had just the remedy.

Without waiting for her opponent to move, she used the Force to leap high above the deck plating, performing a backward somersault in midair, and landing on the exposed deck three floors up. She sprinted down the corridor and used the Force to close the blast door behind her.

Her opponent wasn't quick enough to follow her, but she heard an awful noise, sounding almost like a scream, but this time it was more like a sonic boom. The deck plates underneath her feet shuddered from the vibration. She didn't look back. Somehow, she had survived the encounter.

_____________________________

Rian-ban Fo stood in the Engineering section, keeping watch over one of the Engine Reactors. His keen senses alerted him to the presence of a figure walking down the corridor, heading for his location.

Rian-ban ignited his lightsaber, and stood in a classic Soresu stance.

The cloaked figure entered the room, and saw Rian-ban with his saber ignited, and followed suit, also in a Soresu stance.

The two combatants stared at each other, wordlessly. They stepped forward, onto the metal scaffolding which was narrow and didn't provide much room for maneuvering except forward or backward. Their sabers met, and they clashed swords for several moments. The match was not even, as the figure holding the purple lightsaber easily deflected all of Rian-ban Fo's swings.

The cunning warrior with the purple blade used a mind trick to distract Rian-ban, and was able to get under his guard and deliver a glancing blow. But Rian was not quite human, and was able to continue fighting. Rian countered with a blast of blinding light, stunning the unknown attacker momentarily and causing the figure to be unable to see. Now was Rian-ban's chance, and he lunged.

The unknown attacker countered this move with a sudden Force Push, knocking Rian-ban to the deck and causing him to lose his grip on his lightsaber. The saber disengaged and clattered onto the deck plating far below. With Rian-ban's defenses gone, the unknown attacker delivered the finishing blow, and ended the young one's life. Deed done, the cloaked figure put away the purple lightsaber and exited the scene.

_____________________________

Ana Riya was guarding one of the security rooms, where the weapons were stored. It was not too long into Beta Shift before she was alerted to the sound of a turbolift stopping on her level. She quickly ignited her orange lightsaber and stood in a Makashi stance.

The cloaked figure stepped off of the turbolift, and began speaking.


Unknown: I thought I'd find you here, Ana. It is good to see that you're manning your post.

Ana Riya: Why are you here?

Unknown: There's no need to point that lightsaber at me, unless you intend to use it. Is that your intention?

Ana Riya: If you don't explain why you're here, I may be forced to.

Unknown: Yes, I see... those aggressive feelings you have, they make you powerful. Why do you hesitate? Why not use this moment where I am unarmed and attack me?

Ana Riya: There's no aggression here. Merely vigilance. What are you implying?

Unknown: What I'm implying is that you would be wise to either strike me down, or kneel before me, young Ana Riya. Learn to use the Dark Side of the Force, and become more than the pathetic shell that you are. Isn't that what you really want?

Ana Riya: *flatly* No. And if what you're saying is what you really want, then you are a Sith Lord.

Unknown: Am I? Not quite, Ana.... But perhaps you're not capable of being persuaded in this fashion. Maybe you'll show your true colors when you are at death's door....

The figure ignited a blue lightsaber.

Unknown: Defend yourself!

Ana Riya advanced on the unknown figure, lightsaber raised. Before their sabers could even meet, the cloaked figure unleashed a force wave which threw Ana across the corridor, causing her to drop her lightsaber. As she quickly rushed to grab it, her attacker charged forward and prepared to deliver the killing stroke. Before the figure was upon her, she used the force to leap over the attacker's head and rush toward the turbolift.

Without a moment's hesitation, the cloaked figure unleashed a torrent of electricity from his fingers, stopping Ana in her tracks. She turned to try to deflect the incoming lightning, but her Makashi training never dealt with this kind of attack. The lightsaber was blown out of her fingers, as she lay writhing on the ground, screaming in pain.


Unknown: It's all over, Riya.... it is useless to resist....

Ana Riya could do nothing but lay there screaming, trying to defend herself but there was nothing she could do. She pleaded with the unknown figure to stop, but the lightning continued. She experienced agony beyond her wildest imagination, and went unconscious.

When it was all over, the unknown figure checked the body. She was dead.

Disappointed, the cloaked figure exited the scene.

Sol Jade- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Sol Jade called a meeting of the Jedi Council in the morning, and played back the holographic recordings for all to see.

"Our efforts seem to have been in vain. I was almost sure we would have accomplished something useful last night, but I was mistaken. From the look of it, the same murderers are still at large, and we've failed to stop them. However, the good news is that two of us survived attempts on their life, so we must be thankful for these small blessings.

We must also remember the sacrifices made by those who have fallen in battle. Never forget the images you have seen here. Honor their memory by bringing me a Sith Lord today!"

The Jedi seemed discouraged by the losses. Sol Jade could do nothing to comfort them.


"Be of good cheer, fellow Jedi. We have new Masters and Knights ready to take the place of the fallen, ready to defend the Order. Dwell not on our failures, focus only on our future successes. That is the path Nomi would have you follow."

Sol Jade noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Jade asked.

The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out that they were undecided, having narrowed it down to two potential candidates. The Jedi were pretty sure that at least one of the two had to be a Sith, as the two candidates together had managed to grab half of all possible votes.

"No we have not, Grandmaster." said Ronen Durdon.

"Who are the leading candidates?" Jade asked.

"Myself, and Master An-Wan Dyas."

"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend themselves." Sol Jade said.

Ronen Durdon: "As you can clearly see from the security holograms, I was busy hunting down the Sith last night. It could not possibly have been me. I can prove I am not a Sith! I resent the fact that I am even being accused..."

An-Wan Dyas: "As you can clearly see from the security holograms, I was defeated in lightsaber combat on the eighth night by my attacker. I could have been killed, and yet, I did not show myself to be a Sith. I had no red lightsaber, and I also did not try to kill the one who defeated me! There's no way that I am a Sith. I do not understand why I am even being accused..."

Ronen Durdon: "The evidence proving my innocence is much stronger. I will not allow myself to be destroyed foolishly. This is pointless!"

An-Wan Dyas: "Your evidence doesn't prove that you're innocent, it proves that YOU killed a Jedi! We should go with what we know, which is that you are a killer among us. I'll defeat you in combat and prove that you're a Sith!"

Ronen Durdon: "I am no Sith, and I do not believe that you are either. This decision to force us into a duel is a mistake. I'm not going to accuse you out of spite, Dyas."

An-Wan Dyas: "You can't play innocent with me, you've already admitted to your crimes. Now face me in battle!"

Ronen Durdon: "For the last time, I was trying to remove the Sith myself, nothing different from what you're about to try to do, An-Wan. Moreover, it's nothing different from what we all have done every single day, which is to try, and fail, to remove a Sith from our midst using what is essentially vigilante justice. You all are accusing me of doing what each and every one of you has done, and it makes no sense! We are beings of reason, conscience, and righteousness.... I cannot believe that you would all allow this hunt to cloud your judgment so. Judge me as evil at your own peril, for I have done nothing different from what you have done yourself."

Sol Jade: "Enough! You've both been judged as suspicious by the Council. You are to face each other in battle to determine which of you dies. May the Force forgive us."

Lightsaber Battle: Ignoramus versus Joooray

Ronen Durdon entered the hangar bay from one side, and An-Wan Dyas entered from the other. The two combatants bowed to each other, and nodded in the direction of Sol Jade. Ronen Durdon knelt down and began to meditate, while An-Wan Dyas ignited her blue lightsaber and stood in a standard Makashi-style form. She stood at the ready, and began channeling the Force through her body in preparation for the battle.

Suddenly, Ronen Durdon stood up, his meditation complete, his mind focused. He ignited his blue lightsaber, and stood in a classic Soresu-style pose, and prepared to defend himself. An-Wan Dyas shielded herself with a bubble of the Force, which could easily deflect any possible projectiles. The two combatants advanced on one another.

Their sabers clashed, and they met each other blow for blow. An-Wan's movements were in the style of a true fencing master, with precise, accurate strikes, timely parries, and forceful, flowing slashes. Ronen's movements were short and less flowing, keeping a tight defense around his body, not allowing anything to get through. He was indeed powerful and strong, and he was undeterred by An-Wan's graceful attacks.

An-Wan stepped up her game, and continued with the Makashi style, utilizing her advanced training to press onward. Ronen, too, reached deep into his most advanced training to deflect all of her attacks. They both gained and gave ground, demonstrating nearly equal mastery of the saber. Ronen, however, seemed to have a slight edge, as he was able to control the course of battle masterfully. Soon it was An-Wan herself who was on the defensive, and began to give ground.

Ronen pressed the attack, and unleashed a powerful burst of Light in an attempt to weaken An-Wan. This tactic did not even faze An-Wan Dyas, and she used the moment of failure to reach deep into the Force herself, unleashing a greater connection. Her speed doubled, and then tripled, and her movements became nearly impossible to see with the naked eye.

Ronen was forced backwards, deflecting all of the powerful, blinding slashes with his short, quick movements. His deep concentration allowed him to keep up with Dyas, who seemed to be glowing with power, her blue blade shimmering. He was powerful enough to hold back the stronger, faster Dyas, by expending as little energy as possible on unnecessary movements. The two combatants fought with incredible valor, neither relenting, neither weakening.

Dyas reached even deeper into the Force, and reached down to the last of her training, and began to deliver acrobatic, graceful strikes from unexpected angles, demonstrating great innovation and creativity, trying to break down Ronen's defenses. She used the Makashi style in a less linear manner than she had been trained to do, and began to sidestep, roll, and jump to get around Soresu's tight frontal defense. Ronen had not seen such moves demonstrated with Makashi before, and was also forced to improvise.

Reaching as deeply into the Force as he could, he unleashed a blast of power; a wave of the force that sent An-Wan Dyas flying across the hangar bay. She landed against the far wall, where she had already turned around and braced herself, and used her powerful leg muscles to springboard off of the surface and land on the deck plating below, unharmed.

Ronen Durdon tried the move again, and reached deep into the Force, unleashing another wave which threw An-Wan across the hangar bay at the opposite wall, where she struck hard and was knocked to the floor, where she rolled to her feet, undeterred. He tried again, knocking An-Wan against the ceiling, and back against the floor, and back against the ceiling, trying to knock his opponent out. An-Wan simply reached deeper into the Force and strengthened her protective shield, which caused her to bounce harmlessly off of both surfaces.

Frustrated, Ronen Durdon released Dyas from his hold, and charged toward An-Wan, determined to strike her down. He unleashed a torrent of powerful Soresu strikes, quick and deliberate, trying to break her. But An-Wan's speed and strength caused her to be able to deflect all of these attacks. Ronen continued to advance, pounding An-Wan with a flurry of precise strikes, as An-Wan parried them. She was backed into the wall, which she propelled herself off of and over the head of Durdon, as he tried to cut her down in midair. She gracefully deflected the swing, and landed on her feet, and tried to break Ronen's defenses again. Her counterattack was enough that Durdon also had to become creative with his movements, and roll out of danger, leap to avoid a downward cut, and lean back to avoid a horizontal cut that could have been fatal.

Ronen unleashed another wave and pushed Dyas out of range, to give himself some space. She rolled to her feet and continued to advance on Durdon. The two combatants clashed sabers again, giving it everything they had, utilizing all of their training and all of their mastery of the saber and the force and of their own minds and bodies. They fought toward the center of the hangar bay, where Durdon managed to swing himself around and deliver a horizontal cut, which Dyas deflected, but he continued the motion and delivered a leg sweep that knocked Dyas to the deck. He stood over her, ready to finish it, but she quickly delivered a swift kick to his knee, and he also fell to the deck plating. As he fell, he grabbed onto Dyas' lightsaber by the hilt, and tried to force her weapon out of the way so he could deliver the finishing blow. He unleashed another blast of Light to try to stun Dyas, again to no effect, and she grabbed his own lightsaber by the hilt and the two combatants grappled, rolling on the deck, each trying to gain some advantage over the other.

Ronen tried to unleash another blast of Force Wave at Dyas, but in such close quarters he found himself surrounded by the protective bubble that encased her body, and the only effect was that both of them went hurtling toward the ceiling, bounced off of it, and collapsed back onto the deck below. They continued rolling on the deck, until Durdon finally had Dyas pinned down, and he began forcing her own lightsaber back at her throat. Dyas, reaching deep, unleashed her speed and strength and reversed Durdon's lightsaber back toward his throat, and held back Durdon's greater strength and leverage, preventing herself from being decapitated. Durdon held back Dyas' counterattack, and forced his own saber forward as well...

Dyas twisted her body around, knocking Durdon off-balance, and then rolled in the opposite direction to avoid the killing blow. She twisted herself free of Durdon's grip, and gracefully did a backflip, avoiding another strike, and deftly dodged sideways to avoid another. She stood toe to toe with Durdon, and they clashed sabers one more time... her connection to the Force weakening, her shield finally began to buckle. Durdon unleashed one last wave of the Force at Dyas. They were standing so close to each other, that the wave blasted both Ronen Durdon and An-Wan Dyas in opposite directions, both of them slamming hard into the duranium on either side of the hangar bay. Durdon was the first to recover and stand up, but he saw that Dyas was also coming to. He disengaged his lightsaber and retreated out the nearby airlock. An-Wan also disengaged her lightsaber, and limped to the opposing airlock. Durdon had been unable to deliver the finishing blow, as Dyas proved to be too elusive. Dyas could not break Durdon's defenses. The contest ended without a death.

Sol Jade and the other Jedi watched it all happen. When it was over, Sol Jade's brow furrowed slightly. "Hmmm......"

He paused.

"It seems that the contest ended in a draw. This is getting us nowhere. We don't have time for this, we need to prepare for tonight's duties. Everyone proceed to your assigned sections, or get some sleep. You have your orders already."

Post 1759 of the Game thread

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Sunday, November 21st, Eastern Time USA (If I get 25 people voting)

Nor Stry-hoth sat in his chair, keeping a watchful eye on the display screen in front of him. His task was to guard one of the many hundred weapons fire control rooms, located near the bow of the ship. Behind him was the large firing chamber itself, a cylindrical device capable of generating a concentrated burst of power so incredible that it could shatter a small moon in a single blast. The room was cramped and didn't leave a lot of room for maneuvering. He heard the sound of footsteps coming down the nearby corridor, and it was not time for him to be relieved of duty yet.

He immediately stood up and prepared to ignite his yellow lightsaber in a basic Form I stance.

Then it appeared. The cloaked figure stepped into view. Nor quickly noted that the being did not have a lightsaber protecting its body, and reached out with the Force to generate the energy he would need.


Nor Stry-hoth: Identify yourself!

Unknown figure: .......


The cloaked figure raised its hands, and Stry-hoth immediately felt as if he was being choked. Reacting quickly, Nor unleashed a beam of concentrated protons at the exposed body of his attacker. Almost immediately, the choking stopped, and the cloaked being roared with a mixture of pain and frustration as the energy tore through its body. Nor Stry-hoth engaged his lightsaber and repeated the command.

Nor Stry-hoth: Identify yourself!


The cloaked being repeated the attack, only this time with more power behind it. Nor Stry-hoth could feel his ribcage being compressed, and bones began to snap. He couldn't breathe... he couldn't move. He reached out and unleashed another proton beam, which ripped through the body of his attacker. The choking and compression eased slightly, but the cloaked creature continued standing, howling in pain, almost brought to its knees, but it remained focused on the attack. Nor could take no more, and had run out of energy.... the beam discontinued. The cloaked being immediately threw all it had into the attack, finishing Stry-hoth, and Nor's chest collapsed under the pressure. Purple blood shot out of his nose, and all the capillaries in his body burst. Nor's lightsaber clattered to the ground, and disengaged.

The victorious creature slammed Nor's body into the firing chamber, killing him instantly, crushing what remained of his body and incinerating it in the large explosion which followed. Power relays blew out all across the deck, and it took some time for the back-up power generators to activate the fire suppression system.

The cloaked being escaped back into the shadows.

_____________________________

Datian Guus was returning to his quarters after his shift, heading down one of the many long, barely-illuminated corridors in the bowels of the ship. He turned a corner and noticed a cloaked figure standing at the far end of the hall, and immediately ducked back behind the corner, and began to mask his force presence. That's when he looked back and saw another cloaked figure rounding the corner and heading in his direction from the opposite side. Apparently his mind trick wasn't working.

Sensing that death was yonder, he immediately ignited his purple lightsaber and stood in a Form II stance.

Datian Guus: Stand back, whoever you are! I'm really not in the mood for this!

First cloaked figure: That's a real shame....

Second cloaked figure: Well, this is unexpected.


The first cloaked figure noticed the second one approaching, but retained its focus on Datian Guus.


First cloaked figure: It's the end for you, Datian.

Mill Kunaay: Not if I have anything to say about it!


The first cloaked figure looked up, and saw that a panel in the ceiling had been removed, and a robed Jedi landed between them, standing in the way, as if protecting Datian Guus. The jedi ignited her lightsaber.

Second cloaked figure: How amusing. Two for the price of one.

First cloaked figure: Do you really think you can stop me?

Mill Kunaay: I'm willing to die trying.

First cloaked figure: So be it...



The powerful being reached deep into the Force, and tapped its power. It began drawing Force energy from the area where Datian Guus and Mill Kunaay were standing, sapping their connection to the Force and sucking the life out of them. A vortex appeared, swallowing up the energy generated by both Datian Guus and Mill Kunaay.

Mill centered herself, and concentrated hard, shielding her mind from the effects of the attack, and Datian Guus as well. Her mind hardened further, as she had foreseen this attack coming.

Her powerful mind was able to turn back the power of the Dark Side. The first cloaked being seemed utterly in shock that the attack had been repelled by this young woman. The second one began laughing.


Second cloaked figure: Oooh, feisty, I like that.

First cloaked figure: You're going to pay for that, foolish one.


Mill Kunaay tapped deeper into the Force and lifted up the first cloaked being using telekinesis.


First cloaked figure: What?? No, this is impossible!


The first cloaked being was slammed against the wall of the corridor, and then against the other, and then back again. Mill Kunaay tossed its body down the corridor like a rag doll, pummeling it with repeated body slams. As if that weren't enough, she began spinning the cloaked figure around and around, causing the being to lose its concentration.


Datian Guus: Master Kunaay, what about the other one?

Second cloaked figure: *mocking* Yes, Master Kunaay, what about the other one?


Mill tossed the powerful creature down the corridor, where it immediately got to its feet and fled the scene to cut its losses. The two Jedi began advancing on the remaining cloaked figure, lightsabers burning brightly.


Second cloaked figure: I bet you two are just brimming with confidence after your victory.

Datian Guus: You might say that.

Second cloaked figure: Good.... twice the pride, double the fall.

Mill Kunaay's precognition informed her of what was about to happen next.

Mill Kunaay: Oh no.... Datian, get out of here!

Second cloaked figure: Hahahahahahaha!!!


The second cloaked figure reached deep into the Force, and unleashed a powerful sonic wave.... coming from both sides of the corridor. The two Jedi turned quickly to scramble out of the hole in the ceiling tiles, but there just wasn't enough time.

The bodies of both Jedi were crushed from the impact of the double wave of power.... and the remains shattered from the intense vibrations. The entire hallway was destroyed, sending tremors throughout the ship and filling the corridor with gas from the ruptured piping.


The second cloaked figure left the scene, victorious.

_____________________________

Master Ronen Durdon stood in one of the observation rooms near the command center of the ship. His keen senses told him what was about to happen, and he readied himself for it.

Durdon: I knew you would come for me.

Unknown: I've been watching you.

Durdon: Shadowing my movements?

Unknown: .....


The cloaked figure ignited its purple lightsaber.

Unknown: Your sword, Master Durdon.

Durdon: If I must.

Ronen ignited his blue lightsaber, and stood in a classic, defensive, Form III- Soresu stance. His attacker was positioned in a Form V- Djem So stance.


Unknown: Really, Soresu? You've not been keeping up with your lightsaber training, have you Master Durdon?

Durdon: It hasn't failed me yet.

Unknown: There's a first time for everything.



Both of the figures paused momentarily, to center themselves. Then, in an instant, the carnage began. The figure with the purple lightsaber was clearly the aggressor, savaging Master Durdon with powerful attacking blows, attempting to break Durdon's defenses. Djem so was a continuation of the Soresu battle philosophy, except that instead of focusing on defense and waiting for your opponent to make mistakes, Djem so seeks to retain a solid defense while creating opportunities for attack. It isn't called the Way of the Krayt Dragon for nothing.

Durdon, for his part, was able to keep up with the attacker who was so skilled with the blade. More impressive was that he was still weary from his previous battle, and unable to perform many of the same acrobatic tricks as before. The blades met, crashing together repeatedly, the attacker seeking to wear out or break down the defender, and the defender expending as little energy as possible. It was still clear that Soresu was inadequate for the task, because the powerful blows caused by Djem so were beginning to wear down Master Durdon anyway.

Backed into a corner, Master Durdon propelled himself over the head of his attacker, assisted by the Force. But this trick nearly cost him his life, as it was only sheer luck that his attacker failed to capitalize on the exposed body sailing over its head. In the end it did nothing but gain him some more room to retreat.


Durdon: Powerful, you have become....

Unknown: Likewise.


The two beings battled on throughout the night. Durdon was completely unable to gain the advantage, and was running out of options. However, his attacker also began to tire, which gave Durdon the ability to continue fighting. They were too evenly-matched... but something had to give.


Durdon: It seems that this contest cannot be decided by our skill with a lightsaber.

Unknown: Don't try it...


Durdon hesitated for a moment to gather Force energy, and his assailant took the opportunity to deliver a blow which broke Durdon's lightsaber in half. Just as his attacker was about to deliver the final blow, Durdon unleashed a massive blast of power, creating a whirlwind of the Force.

His assailant managed to use a mind trick and the blast was mis-directed, but the assailant still needed to move out of the way. When he looked up, he saw that Master Durdon had fled the scene intact.

Frustration boiled through the cloaked being, but in the end, it said nothing, and disengaged its purple lightsaber, and calmly walked out of the observation room. It seemed that the contest was a draw.

Sol Jade- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Grandmaster Sol Jade gathered everyone together in the morning. They all reviewed the security holograms.


"Mill Kunaay was nearly able to spare the life of Datian Guus, but she could not turn back both attackers. They will both be remembered, and honored for their sacrifice. I note also that Master Ronen Durdon survived his encounter with whoever it was that attacked him. But young Padawan Nor Stry-hoth was not so fortunate.

I am therefore forced to promote All'uan Kraytous to the rank of Jedi Knight. May your service honor the memory of those who have fallen."

The young Jedi nodded, and accepted the promotion.

"Kenth Cogma and Bos Dhi Kao, you have also completed your training. I hereby grant you the rank of Master. We need experienced Jedi like Mill Kunaay to turn back the power of the Dark Side. I know you are both up to the challenge."

Both masters nodded.

"I have had a vision that the Force is coming back into balance. Our numbers may be fewer, but our powers are increasing. We will be able to turn back the Sith, I have foreseen this. But the Dark Side is still present, and it may be clouding my perceptions. Nothing is set in stone.

You must press onward. Today, I ask you to bring me a Sith. You must do this, to honor those who have fallen, and turn back the tide of bloodshed. May the Force be with you."


With that, the Jedi began their discussion.

There have been promotions in Rank.

Night phase ending/thread opening early. You may use the extra time. I need at least 25 people voting to end the round on November 21st at 11:59:59 PM.


I do not have your results done in advance. It could take a couple hours to update everyone, and in fact I cannot even do it right away. I will send out quick results only to people who have performed active abilities, because I have to run. I will update you all ASAP.

Sol Jade noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Jade asked.

The votes were counted.

"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.

"Who has been found guilty?"

"Ushi Makoth."

"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend herself." Sol Jade said.


Ushi Makoth: "This foolish council can do whatever it wants. Sure, go ahead and throw me out into space. Fat lot of good it will do you, too. Though I suppose we should be thankful that we won't be killing one of our own again. Perhaps more of us will live to see Jedi Knight."

Sol Jade: "Ushi, I urge you to take these proceedings seriously."

Ushi Makoth: "How can I? Each death is more absurd than the last. Though frankly I shouldn't be surprised. The only person here who has actually managed to destroy a Sith, that being with the purple lightsaber, would probably be thrown out into space too. There's really nothing I can say to convince you otherwise, is there?

Sol Jade: "The Dark Side is strong, and clouds...."

Ushi Makoth: "...everything, yes I know."

Sol Jade: "Anything you say could be something a Sith would say to defend themselves. We listen, but we cannot be persuaded by lies."

Ushi Makoth: *holds her face in her hands in frustration* "Very well. Let us get this over with. Let the blind lead the blind straight over a precipice. Perhaps some in the rear of the line will learn eventually; we can only hope. Or does hope lead to the Dark Side as well?"

Sol Jade: "Ushi, if you will...."



Ushi Makoth stepped into the airlock, where she scowled at the remaining Jedi, and held her breath as the force field was released and she was blown out into space. She lay motionless for a while, but stayed close to the ship. Then she began doing somersaults and other acrobatic maneuvers to indicate she was still alive and unharmed. For several more long minutes she floated in space, until finally Sol Jade took mercy on her. Even the power to keep one alive in such conditions did not make it any less painful, and so she was brought back inside. She collapsed as the force field was restored and pressure returned.


Ushi Makoth: "Took you long enough."

She passed out.

Sol Jade: "Take her to the medical bay and treat her. This was supposed to be a lawful execution, not a means of torment. Ease her suffering, and inform me when she is ready to return to duty."


As the other Jedi carted the young female away, Sol Jade grumbled in frustration. How many days in a row would end without a death? The last Jedi executed on the ship was Cah Andwal, and none of the Sith had perished that way.

It was time to meditate. This night would be torment for Sol Jade himself, as it was finally time for the second Knighting ceremony. And there would be far too many in attendance to make this a safe affair for any of them.

Night Phase ends at 11:59:59 PM, Wednesday November 24th. This is going to be quite a difficult night phase for the game host, as your initiates who became padawans are now scheduled to all promote to Jedi Knight.

As you might imagine that's going to eat up a lot of my free time and you'll have to bear with me and be patient. Thank you.

Don't forget to send in orders, or you will do nothing all night.

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Thursday, November 25th, Eastern Time USA (If I get 25 people voting, otherwise extended 24 hours.)

Xando Caecilius was heading to the Knighting ceremony when he was stopped by a hooded figure.


Sensing he was in danger, Xando quickly ignited his blue lightsaber.

The stranger reacted by igniting a yellow lightsaber, wordlessly.

Xando quickly stood in a Makashi stance, and the hooded figure stood in an Ataru stance. They wasted no time. The hooded figure began the attack, and soon overwhelmed the young Padawan. It was all Xando could do to keep up with this menacing attacker, and very quickly, his saber was cut in half, disarming Xando. The cloaked figure prepared to unleash the final blow, but Xando reached out with the Force, and pushed the cloaked figure to the deck plating, surprising the superior fighter.

Xando fled the scene with his life, barely evading his attacker.

___________________________

Kin Barr was also heading to the Knighting ceremony, when she was stopped by a hooded figure.

Reacting quickly, she stood in a Shii-Cho stance and ignited her lightsaber.

Without even flinching, the hooded figure raised its hands and they began to crackle. Kin Barr knew what was coming, and so she centered herself. The powerful being unleashed a devastating blast of Chain Lightning. The lightning not only impacted Barr but also ricocheted off of the deck plating and the walls of the corridor and reflected into the young woman. She tried to evade the blast with a Force Jump, but there was no escape. The blast hit her with full power and knocked her down to the deck plating.


The powerful being stopped to see if Kin Barr was dead, but she began to stir... she stood up and tried to defend herself with her lightsaber, trying to deflect the energy as she had seen her Master do. But the way she was holding the blade was more suited to a Jedi trying to deflect blaster shots from a training droid. She was also far from a master of the Shii-cho form, which was also never intended for this kind of combat.

The energy hit her lightsaber, and blew it completely out of her hand, leaving her exposed. The lightning continued, and her young body was knocked back to the ground, where it lay in agony and pain, until she went unconscious. The energy continued to flow from the hands of the cloaked figure, until the being was certain she was dead.

A smoking corpse was all that remained of a once-beautiful young lady Jedi. The figure fled the scene.

___________________________

An-Wan Dyas was not at her post, where she had been ordered to watch one of the warp reactors. She looking for someone that night, someone in particular. She closed her eyes and reached out with the Force, and she could tell that the person she was looking for was playing mind tricks on her. While the force signature came from her front, she knew enough to turn around. And there he was, the being she sought.


Traruyn Ura: Master Dyas, what a surprise to see you here. I thought you were going to be watching the warp reactors tonight as you were instructed?

An-Wan Dyas: In the name of the Jedi Council, I am placing you under arrest, my young apprentice.

Traruyn Ura: There must be some mistake, my Master. I have done nothing wrong. I've been a model for other aspiring Jedi. I've trained very hard under your lead, and I've learned almost everything you have taught me. I was just on my way to the Knighting ceremony. Can't this wait until then? I've always wanted to be a full Jedi knight.

An-Wan Dyas ignited her blue lightsaber.

An-Wan Dyas: I'm giving you an order, as your Master. You're under arrest, and you will obey my commands.

Traruyn Ura: Master Dyas, what has gotten into you? This is not like you at all. Is it possible you've turned to the Dark Side?


An-Wan Dyas said nothing.


Traruyn Ura: My Master, without some reason for this "arrest" I am afraid I cannot comply. What are you charging me with? What crime have I committed?

An-Wan Dyas: If my senses are correct, you have been killing your superiors. Is this true?

Traruyn Ura: Oh Master Dyas, I can assure you, I have done no such thing. Even if that were true, I would only have done so in defense of the Republic, in the name of the free people of Coruscant, and with the express permission of the Jedi Council. I don't recall Nomi Sunrider ever condemning the use of force in bringing down Sith lords, especially under these circumstances.

An-Wan Dyas: How many Sith have you slain, my young padawan?

Traruyn Ura: It's impossible to count them all, really. There have been so.... so many. You might say I've been responsible for bringing us this far, so close to wiping out all the Sith. I really am one of the most vital members of this Council. I've done far more good than you have, my Master.

An-Wan Dyas: Your saber, please. Hand it to me.

Traruyn Ura: I'm afraid I cannot allow you to have it. You might use it to kill me. I don't trust you, my Master. In fact, I believe that it is you who are a Sith Lord. And like all the others before you.... I am going to have to make you die. Please forgive me, my Master, as I no longer have a choice.


With that, young apprentice Traruyn Ura ignited his magenta lightsaber.

Traruyn Ura stood in a Form VII- Juyo stance, and began to center himself.


An-Wan Dyas: What kind of saber stance is that? I know I never taught you something that advanced.

Traruyn Ura: You've failed to teach me a great many things. In order to be a useful and powerful Jedi, I'm afraid I've had to consult other more reliable sources for information. It is the only way I could be of some use to the Jedi Order. Now it is time to say good-bye, my Master.




While the pair were speaking, a third figure emerged from the shadows.


Unknown: Oh, don't let me interrupt. Please, continue.


An-Wan Dyas and Traruyn Ura began to engage each other. The younger, less experienced apprentice was fighting with skill that far surpassed his training, but An-Wan was able to keep up. The advanced Juyo attacks were parried skillfully by the Master's elegant Makashi moves. The younger apprentice was frustrated, and began hacking away at An-Wan with all of his strength, but nothing could break through. After a few minutes of battle, the more powerful An-Wan reached deep into the force, and her speed and strength doubled. Taking her apprentice by surprise, An-Wan broke the magenta lightsaber into pieces, and delivered a swift kick to the face of the young one. He went tumbling down to the deck plating, unarmed.


Unknown: HAHAHAHAHAHA..... goood..... goooooooood. Very good, Master Dyas. Now.... finish him.

An-Wan Dyas: Get up, Traruyn. If a Jedi is to meet his death, they have a right to do it on their feet, with their eyes open.

Traruyn Ura: You're most gracious, Master Dyas. I would welcome the opportunity for you to meet death on your feet.


The younger padawan stood, waiting for An-Wan to deliver the fatal blow, with a smirk on his face. An-Wan swung her lightsaber, and Ura ignited his red lightsaber, and blocked the attack. He began laughing hysterically.

Traruyn Ura: Now, Master Jedi, it's time for me to teach you a lesson you won't ever forget.

Unknown: Not so fast, "Traruyn". You had your chance, and now it's my turn.

Traruyn Ura: What the are you talking about? This kill is MINE!

Unknown: Not if I have anything to say about it.

An-Wan Dyas: This is just not my day....



With a swift motion, the unknown cloaked figure waved its hands, and An-Wan fell to the ground, as if the Force had been cut off from her completely. She had never felt so vulnerable before.

Unknown: And now, Master Dyas.... you will die.

The cloaked figure reached deep into the force, and a massive vortex opened up around An-Wan Dyas. The Dark Vortex continued to swirl and expand until it was a massive, raging maelstrom. The energy of the Force, and all life inside the maelstrom, was being drawn toward the powerful unknown cloaked being. Traruyn Ura dove out of the way to avoid being hit by the attack.

An-Wan felt the life drain out of her, and all was lost. She blacked out.



But then, it all stopped. An-Wan came to, and realized she wasn't dead. She grabbed her lightsaber and stood up, and saw that surrounding her body was a magnificent Wall of Light. The powerful force energy had turned back the power of the maelstrom, and the swirling dark vortex raged outside of the wall of light.

But where was it coming from? An-Wan had no way of generating such a powerful defense, she had been temporarily severed from the Force. Who had spared her?

The cloaked being raged furiously.


Unknown: YOU MISERABLE WEAKLING!!! I WILL DESTROY YOU, I SWEAR IT!! I SWEAR IT, AN-WAN DYAS, I WILL DESTROY YOU!!! YOU ARE AS GOOD AS DEAD!!!


Traruyn Ura: Looks like it's up to me, once again, to finish what you cannot.

Traruyn reached deep into the Force and began choking An-Wan Dyas. She was lifted up off of the ground, and felt herself grow faint. She could feel her chest being compressed and crushed by powerful forces..... and then....


The wall of light was erected on the other side of Dyas, cutting off the force attack. Dyas crumpled to the ground, mostly unharmed.


Traruyn Ura: NO!!! NO!!!! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!


The unknown figure fled the scene, leaving Traruyn Ura to fend for himself against An-Wan Dyas.

The Wall of light continued to surround Master Dyas, who felt the Force return to her, as well as her speed and centering. She stood and opened her eyes, and looked at Traruyn Ura with calm determination. She raised a finger and began to wave it back and forth.


An-Wan Dyas: "Tsk, tsk tsk. Much to learn you still have, my young Padawan."


Traruyn held his red lightsaber in a defensive posture, and prepared to turn back the elder Jedi.


Traruyn Ura: This isn't over, my Master. This is just the beginning. You will not live long enough to savor this moment.



With incredible speed and concentration, An-Wan rushed Traruyn Ura and they clashed sabers. The young Sith snarled at An-Wan, beating back the blows, and performing incredible feats of acrobatic skill to avoid being hit with the blade. For a long time they clashed swords, and in the end, An-Wan was slightly faster than Traruyn. With one smooth cut, she nearly decapitated the young Sith, but he ducked just in time, and ignited the other end of his blade and prepared to deliver the finishing blow.

An-Wan reacted swiftly, by slicing the double-bladed saber in half, and kicking the remaining functional blade out of Traruyn's hands. Traruyn kneeled before the Master Jedi, with a look of pure hatred.


Darth Aggony: You...... you...... wretched little filth! Do it, finish me, you sniveling COWARD! I want you to do it. Nothing would make me happier in all the world, you pathetic squirming sack of maggots.

An-Wan Dyas: "Good-bye, my young friend. I will miss you."


With that, An-Wan Dyas impaled the young Sith in the chest, and he fell over, and soon died. An-Wan put away her lightsaber, and closed the young man's eyes. She walked back to her quarters, alone.

___________________________

Sol Jade stood in the command center of the ship, eyes closed, meditating. The Knighting ceremony had gone well. But someone was coming up the turbolift to greet him, he could sense it. As soon as the powerful being stepped off the turbolift, the Grandmaster knew who it was. He centered himself.

With his powerful Force Sight, he could see the approaching cloaked figure in his mind, without even turning around.

Sol Jade: I know you're here, so you might as well not even bother.

Unknown: Sol Jade.... Grandmaster of the Order. And yet, the I sense the Dark Side in you. How can this be, my old friend?

Sol Jade: I know much that is hidden, as apparently you do.

Unknown: You know what I must do. You're under arrest, "your grace".

Sol Jade: I don't think so.



Sol Jade raised his hands and unleashed a powerful blast of Force Light, which reflected off of the cloak, leaving the being unharmed. Sol Jade uttered a low growl of frustration. He drew the twin sabers from his belt and ignited them both, in the Makashi style.

In response, the unknown attacker reached deep into the Force, and the Grandmaster began to choke. He felt his consciousness drifting from him, as the powerful being was able to break through the Grandmaster's formidable mental defenses. The Grandmaster threw Force Light at his attacker, once again, to no effect. The cloaked being was not harmed by the move.

Sol Jade knew of another way to counter this attack, but he was losing consciousness.... his connection to the Force failed him, and his mind blacked out. His body was slammed against the wall of the command center, and against the other wall.... crushing his chest. But his attacker wasn't finished.

The cloaked figure reached out with both hands, and gripped the Grandmaster tightly, and began slamming the body of the elderly Jedi against the ceiling, and the deck, smashing him over and over and over again, crushing and squeezing the life out of him, and then threw his body against the transparent aluminum windows shielding the front of the command center, killing him instantly.

The deck began to decompress, as the atmosphere blew out of the hole in the transparent aluminum, until the structural integrity force fields engaged, and the room repressurized. Blast shields came down and covered the hole in the hull, further sealing the compartment.

Sol Jade's destroyed remains drifted out into space. He was gone forever.



___________________________

Ronen Durdon sensed his attacker approaching, as he sat in the empty cargo bay, meditating. He was focusing his thoughts very deeply, and was able to see a vision of things to come.


Ronen Durdon: I've been waiting for you.

Cloaked figure: ......

The cloaked figure stood in a Form V stance, and ignited the purple lightsaber.

Ronen Durdon ignited his blue lightsaber, and stood, ready for the attack, in the familiar Form III: Soresu stance.


Cloaked figure: Still using Soresu? You must have known I'd come prepared for that.

Ronen Durdon: Prepare myself for your arrival, I have. Let us see which of us is the strongest.




The two masters of the blade met, and the aggressive style of the cloaked figure was met with the quick defensive style of Master Durdon. The Master parried all of the aggressor's attacks, seeming very confident, as if anticipating all of the aggressor's movements. This seemed to catch the aggressor off-guard, but the attacker pressed onward with renewed vigor and attempted to misdirect Durdon with a mind trick.

Durdon was not distracted by this move, and in fact reached deeper into the Force, and concentrated his strength, becoming doubly powerful. The advantage became overwhelming, and soon, Master Durdon was able to break the attacker's lightsaber in half.

Unfazed, the attacker unleashed a terrible blast of Force Lightning at Master Durdon, which caught him off-guard. It knocked the master to the ground. Pressing the attack, more Force Lightning was shot at Durdon, who screamed in agony.

Reaching out with the Force, master Durdon unleashed a massive whirlwind of the Force at his attacker, which slammed the cloaked being against the walls of the cargo bay and against the deck. But even though this move caused the cloaked figure to stagger, it unleashed another blast of Force Lightning at Master Durdon. Reacting quickly, Durdon raised his lightsaber in defense of his body.

Using the Soresu stance, Master Durdon held the saber close to his body, at just the right angle, and concentrated. The strength of his body and mind enabled him to steady himself, and through the pain, he was able to use his saber as a lightning rod. The powerful torrents of Force Lightning were all now being channeled directly into his glowing blue blade.

He began advancing on his attacker, with a determined expression on his face. The Force Lightning continued, but none of it was hitting Master Durdon. Master Durdon attempted to angle his blade so that the Force Lightning would be re-directed back towards his attacker. The cloaked being raised its hands and deflected it away from his body, causing the computer control panel in the corner of the cargo bay to explode, and the outer bay doors began to open, as alarms started blaring.

Showing some frustration, the cloaked attacker abandoned the broken lightsaber and the victorious Durdon, and fled the scene intact.


Master Durdon put away his saber, and reached out with the Force to close the outer bay doors. He sighed with relief. He was still alive.

Ronen Durdon- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

In the morning, everyone was surprised to see that Ronen Durdon had an announcement. It seemed as though Sol Jade had been slain in the night, and left a hologram message for everyone to see.


Sol Jade: In the event of my death, the following Masters will be considered as my replacement. At the top of the list, is Master Ronen Durdon....


Grandmaster Ronen Durdon: "It is my sad duty to replace our fallen leader, Grandmaster Sol Jade. However, I understand and welcome the responsibilities I have been given. I sense that our former Grandmaster had fallen to the Dark Side, but how far he had fallen, I do not know. What I do know is that he was NOT a Sith, and some of the records show that he had been acting in our best interest. I haven't fully read the logs recorded in the Jedi Holocron, but it seems at the end, he had chosen the Light Side over the Dark. Because of this, he leaves behind a mixed legacy. He may have broken the Jedi Code, but it would be a stretch to call him a being of evil. If he had indeed returned to the Light, we have lost a powerful ally indeed.

That being said, one of the bodies found last night was Traruyn Ura, or as some logs found in his room indicate, Darth Aggony. He seemed to be a lesser Sith, possibly an apprentice. That means the Master still lives. If we can destroy the Master, then I know we will have made some progress.

We also lost Padawan Kin Barr last night. This young one was definitely one of us, and had committed no crimes. Her loss will be deeply felt by all who knew her. I have much to do. The Jedi Holocron has much data on it I need to analyze. Please excuse me while I go study it.

Find me the Sith, let us finish this once and for all!"



With that, the Jedi began their discussion.

FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS (READ, PLEASE)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I will send out quick results for everyone, and you'll get a full PM upgrade as fast as I can get them out, which may not be very fast at all.

Reminder: Many people got promoted to Jedi Knight. If you were, you must send me the following, and DO NOT FORGET. Choose a new saber form to add to your knowledge, which you can use instead of the one you were previously using (Choose from the remaining forms you do not know, any one of the following-

• Form I
• Form II
• Form III
• Form IV
• Form V
• Form VI

Also, while you're at it, tell me if you wish to specialize or remain balanced.

• Learn mostly Lightsaber abilities
• Learn mostly Force abilities
• Remain balanced

If you tell me nothing, you won't get a new saber power (tough luck for not paying attention and not bothering to play) and you will remain balanced.

EVEN MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS (READ, PLEASE)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This round ends when 48 hours have passed, or if 24 hours have passed and I have 25 people voting. Why? Because participation at this point should be the whole reason why you're playing. I want to see you voting. I'm going to WOG all inactive people from this point on, without exception, unless you tell me why ahead of time. I've been super lenient, about a great many things. That leniency ends today and now. Have fun, but no more inactivity. 5 rounds of no vote and you cease to exist. And the Sith will remind me if people have been inactive, because they want you dead.

Replacements will be rare and under extraordinary circumstances. 10 rounds of play have happened, this isn't the beginning of the game anymore. I have YLC on standby if I need to replace someone, but my default action is to make the character die. Fair warning.

• Remember: The order in which you send in your actions, first and second, matter. It's in the how to play section of the game, you should re-read it. This is the last time I'm going to do the courtesy of reminding you.
• Remember: If you do not specify a target for your active power, it won't happen, and it will fail. No exceptions, from here on out, for any reason.

Ronen Durdon noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Durdon asked.

The votes were counted.

"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.

"Who has been found guilty?"

"Xando Caecilius."

"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend himself." Ronen said.


Xando Caecilius: "This council has once again chosen incorrectly. However, I will be a greater asset to the Jedi Council once I have become one with the Force. I accept this decision, incorrect though it may be."

Ronen Durdon: "Is that all? You've nothing more to add?"

Xando Caecilius: "What more is there to say? If this is the will of the Force, then there is no point in opposing it. I will continue to watch out for you and do what I can. I only regret not being able to convince you of my innocence in time. I can feel the Force calling to me. This is not a victory for the Sith today... the Light Side will prevail."

Ronen Durdon: "Very well. The hangar bay has been set. Please enter."



Xando Caecilius entered the hangar, and stood smiling at the other Jedi. When the force field dropped, he was blown out into space, where he quickly died of suffocation. The entire Jedi council felt a tremor in the Force. Ronen Durdon fell to his knees.


Ronen Durdon: "What.... have we done??"


Xando's body was brought back into the hangar bay from the tractor beam. As medical droids began examining the body, Ronen sent An-Wan Dyas to assist.


An-Wan Dyas: "He is dead. That much is clear. But I feel something...."

Ronen Durdon: "You don't need to tell me. I have felt it already. Xando Caecilius was so powerful with the Light Side of the Force, that he may have been the Chosen One."

Cecil XIX- Xando Caecilius

Suddenly, a figure made out of light appeared before the Council. It was Jedi Knight Xando Caecilius, 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.

Round ends Sunday, November 28th, unless I get all your orders in early. May the Force be with you....

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.

Hey fellows and girls, it turns out most of you are indeed able to send in orders on time, almost every single night. There are only ever a few stragglers, so guess what? I have decided it is finally time. Yes, yes yes!

• We are going to switch to a "48-hour day (or-less), 24-hour night (or-more)" rotation.
• What this means is that if we have 80% of the players voting by the 24 hour mark during the day, the game advances to a night phase. The night phase will get the extra time.
• However, if you guys need the full 48 hours during the day, the night phase will only be 24 hours long.

This will make the game slightly harder on the town, and slightly easier for the mafia, because odds are, more townies will forget to send in orders than mafia will. But, active participation from the town can earn them a faster day phase and a longer night phase.

This means that the longest a day/night cycle will last is going to be 72 hours, or three days instead of four.


If you want to make certain you get your orders in on time, what you can do is, whenever you vote during the day, you can send in default orders for that night. Then, if you change your mind, you can switch your orders that night. If you're not online, your default orders will stand and you'll at least be doing something useful. So, there is no reason why you still can't get your orders in on time! If you have 72 hours to send in an action and you fail to do so, you will perform no action. Your defenses will be the same as the night before.

Many mafia games have a 24 hour day/24 hour night cycle. That's where we are heading, this is the step down from near-constant 48/48, by switching it to an average of 36 hours per half-day. When there's only a small number of you left, we will switch all the way down to 24/24. There will be a similar big announcement when this happens.

• When we drop all the way down to 24/24, night discussion/private communication will become legal, because the thread will be much easier to read with less activity.

For now, it is still going to be no night discussion or private communication, though, as that's what you have voted for in majority.

One last note-

I know this makes things a little bit harder. If you put out the effort, it won't affect you one bit. If you forget or can't be bothered to send in night actions early to make sure you get them in, that's your choice. I'll even remind you halfway through the day phase to send in default orders. I'm not totally evil, but if you don't take advantage of this, I'm not going to blink when the night phase ends and you haven't done anything, even if it could be game-losing for your team. Plenty of games have been won or lost based on absences or inactivity, and there have been a lot of replacement players. Game will get progressively harder, you'll have to keep up!

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Tuesday, November 30th, Eastern Time USA (If I get 24 people voting by midnight of the 29th, round will end 24 hours early.)

Le'ran Iss was in his quarters, practicing the Soresu form with his lightsaber. He felt something terrible was about to happen.... he could sense someone approaching. Their emotions were difficult to read, but he readied himself anyway.

The door to his quarters slid open, and there was a cloaked figure standing in the corridor. Reacting quickly, Le'ran sprang into action, and quickly closed the distance between them. He raised his lightsaber high and prepared to swing it.

Without blinking, the cloaked figure lifted a single hand, and Le'ran stopped dead in his tracks. He felt a great force squeezing his windpipe closed, and he was lifted up into the air. He swung his lightsaber madly, but he could not reach his attacker. His chest began to crack and compress, and all the air was forced out of him. He dropped his lightsaber and clawed at his throat, trying to stop the choking, but there was nothing he could do. The attacker made a motion with a single hand, and Le'ran slammed against the ceiling of his quarters, and then slammed into the floor, shattering bones in the process. His attacker raised both hands, and made a tight gripping movement, and Le'ran's blood began shooting out of his nose and mouth. The attacker swung his arms to the left, and Le'ran slammed into the wall, and then the attacker swung his arms to the right, and Le'ran crashed into the bulkhead. His attacker tighter, and Le'ran was crushed even further, killing him instantly. The attacker made a pushing motion with its hands, and Le'ran was sent hurtling through the transparent aluminum windows and out into space. The deck began to decompress, but the structural integrity force fields immediately switched on to cover the gap, and a metal blast door came down to seal it further. Alarms began sounding, and the cloaked figure dashed off into the darkness.

___________________________

Shi-la Ra was wandering the halls of the Engineering section, when she sensed that she was being followed. She turned around, and sure enough, a cloaked figure was standing about 50 feet away, blocking the path to the Turbolift.


Shi-la Ra: Halt! In the name of the Jedi Council, I must ask what you're doing in this section.

Unknown: ......


The cloaked figure seemed to be meditating. Shi-la Ra ignited her purple lightsaber and stood in a Makashi stance.

Shi-la Ra: So be it. You leave me little choice. Defend yourself!

Unknown: ......



The cloaked figure reached out with the Force, and let it trickle through its body. The cloaked figure's eyes snapped open and drew a long, metallic lightsaber from its waist. The figure ignited the double-bladed yellow lightsaber.

Springing into action, the cloaked figure dashed towards Shi-la Ra at blinding speed. Within a fraction of a second, the being was upon her, lashing at her furiously with both ends of the staff. Shi-la Ra did not recognize the highly unusual saber form her attacker was using, but it was an advanced form of Juyo, the Ferocity Form.

Within seconds, the greatly outmatched Shi-la Ra had her lightsaber shattered into pieces and knocked out of her hands. She was kicked in the face, sending her slamming to the deck plating with a bloody lip. Thinking quickly, she unleashed a blinding flash of light, attempting to stun her attacker. She got up and tried to run past the cloaked figure toward the Turbolift.

Her attacker covered its eyes for a moment, and then continued. After watching the young Jedi dash by, it performed a forward somersault, and cut down the fleeing Shi-la Ra in the blink of an eye. Her wounds were easily fatal, and she died quickly.

The cloaked attacker checked the body, and then switched off its lightsaber, then took the Turbolift off of the deck.

__________________________

Sio Eroseeth was patrolling the halls near the command center of the ship, when a cloaked figure came from out of nowhere, lightsaber already ignited, swinging for Eroseeth's head.

It was all Sio could do to roll out of the way. The attacker with the purple lightsaber continued advancing, swinging its saber in the Soresu form, with quick cutting motions. Sio jumped to avoid a low swing, and backed out of the way to avoid being impaled by another thrust. Another swing aimed for his head, and Sio ducked, and then did a backflip to get out of danger.

With not a moment to spare, Sio ignited his lightsaber and blocked another blow that would have been fatal.

Lifting the saber high above his head, Sio Eroseeth deflected yet another blow, and he stood in a Djem So stance, and began to repel the short cutting motions of his Soresu-using attacker.

Sio was pushed backward by the advancing attacker, unable to hold his ground against this master of the blade. As he gave ground, he moved closer and closer to the command section of the ship, which was guarded by timed security force fields.

The two titans continued to clash blades, and Sio was unable to counter the attacks. Just as it looked like the end for Sio, the security force fields dropped, separating the two fighters.

Sio dropped to his knees and began to meditate. His attacker did the same.


Several long moments passed, and the security force field dropped, and both combatants sprang into action once again. With renewed vigor, Sio Eroseeth pushed back against the advancing cloaked being, but the contest was not looking good. Whenever Sio dropped his guard, his attacker landed a fist, or delivered a sharp kick. He was being beaten. With all his concentration, he ducked and dodged everything that his attacker threw at him, but his strength was weakening.

Then, his attacker shattered his lightsaber into pieces, and swung low, preparing to cut Sio's limbs from his body.

Sio hopped over the low swing, ducked another one, and rolled backwards, just as the security force fields came down again.

Getting to his feet, Sio dashed for the turbolift behind him, while his frustrated attacker stood behind the force field, disappointed that his target managed to escape.

__________________________

Later, just a few decks away, Driz Foun was sitting in the middle of the junction of two corridors, meditating, and keeping his senses on what was happening in the hallways in all directions.


The turbolift at the end of the aft corridor came to a halt, and a cloaked figure stepped off of it. Driz continued to meditate, but sensed the figure approaching. Although he looked at peace, Driz Foun was preparing for battle.


Before the approaching figure could get too close, Driz Foun pounced into action, performing a backward leap, flipping towards the approaching being, and landed just several feet away. Driz Foun unleashed a charged torrent of protons, firing the beam directly at the cloaked figure.

The cloaked figure raised its left hand, and deflected the beam of protons. Then, the figure raised its right hand, and unleashed a charged torrent of electrons at Driz Foun. The force lightning impacted Driz Foun directly in the chest, and sent him flying halfway down the corridor.

The shaken Driz Foun rolled to his feet, and ignited his yellow lightsaber.

The cloaked being continued firing force lightning at Driz Foun, who began dodging the deadly beam of particles, twirling and flipping through the air, jumping from one side of the corridor to the other, flipping off of the walls, with the yellow saber leaving a brilliant yellow arc as it spun around. When they got close, Driz landed squarely in the middle of the corridor, with his saber angled in front of him in the Soresu stance.


The cloaked being locked onto Foun, and fired another volley of lightning at the creature. The stream of particles went directly for Driz Foun's shining yellow saber, which collected the energy like a lightning rod. The force of the blast was almost more than Foun could bear, but he pressed forward, holding back the blast with all his might.

Ever so slowly, Driz Foun began to advance on his attacker, pushing back the lightning, which had started to weaken. Only a few feet away, Driz prepared to deliver a spinning strike which would finish off his attacker. Closer..... closer.....



Driz Foun: YAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!


Foun leaped into the air, twisting around like a cyclone, with his yellow saber at just the right height to decapitate his attacker. But he landed on the deck, and his attacker was nowhere to be found.


Turning around, Foun saw that his attacker was fleeing down the hallway behind him. Somehow, Foun had been tricked. But he was thankful to be alive. He switched off his lightsaber and watched his attacker flee.

__________________________

Sinadd No stood in the command section of the ship, in one of the observation rooms near the main turbolift. Her eyes were closed, and she was meditating calmly.

From seemingly out of nowhere, a cloaked figure appeared. Sensing danger, Sinadd turned around, and raised her hands just in time to raise a powerful protective shield with the Force.

The cloaked figure had a hand raised, and a powerful torrent of Force Lightning began to flow, and hit the protective force shield that Sinadd No had erected. As the shield was starting to weaken, she performed a forward leaping somersault, landing closer to the dark figure standing in the corridor. She raised both hands and continued holding the shield, reaching deeper into the Force, and further strengthening this shield.

The shield held, and the cloaked figure raised its other hand and continued firing. The lightning began to chain, and spit off in several different directions, ricocheting off the walls, and the upper and lower deck plating. The lightning hit Sinadd No's shield at many different angles, but nothing was able to penetrate fully. The shields began to buckle, and Sinadd No did another forward leap towards her attacker, getting closer and closer.

The attacker backed off into the corridor and retreated about fifty feet, onto the platform overlooking the main turbolift shaft. It continued firing the lightning chain as it retreated, and Sinadd No continued moving forward, and gave it everything she had to reinforce her protective shielding.

Roaring with frustration, the cloaked figure redoubled its attack, holding its arms outstretched, and leaned forward, in an overpowering pose. The figure screamed with rage, and pushed further, unleashing a massive STORM of the Force. The chain lightning transformed into a glowing sphere of energy surrounding the cloaked figure, arcing out in all directions at once.

The energy overloaded all the power relays on the command deck, and blew out the computer terminals. The heat and energy of the blast began to melt the duranium guard rails, and warp the deck plating itself. Sinadd's shields continued to buckle, and she couldn't hold it much longer. She pushed forward, trying to get within lightsaber range of the dark figure.

The cloaked figure slammed its hands together, and suddenly the omnidirectional lightning storm attack focused together at a single point, unleashing an overpowering blast of lightning which shattered Sinadd No's protective shield.

She quickly unleashed her double-bladed lightsaber, and did a forward flip toward her attacker, trying to cut the powerful being down with the last of her strength.

The dark figure roared with power, and fired the storm of lightning directly at Sinadd No. She landed directly in front of the cloaked being in an advanced Juyo stance, and prepared to swing the blade horizontally to cut the creature in half. The blast of lightning hit Sinadd's lightsaber directly between the blades, blasting the hilt to smithereens and blowing the saber apart. The part of the blade that Sinadd was swinging at the cloaked being became inoperative, and the bulk of the lightning storm hit Sinadd No directly in the chest.

Dark figure: "POWER!!! UNLIMITED.... POWER!!!!!

The cloaked being yelled victoriously, and with renewed power, it continued firing the storm of lightning in all directions, causing gas lines to explode and the turbolifts to cease functioning. Some of the deck plating was hit with a particularly powerful blast of lightning, and the metal structure blew apart, causing the deck below Sinadd No to give way. She plummeted 50 decks, and died upon impact.

The dark creature continued destroying the deck around it, continuing to unleash the hellish storm of lightning. Another powerful blast of lightning struck one of the turbolift cars, and it blew completely off of the lift mechanism and plummeted to the bottom of the shaft. Inside it was Jedi Knight Pal Winoff, whose unlucky life was cut short seemingly by the Will of the Force.


The dark figure looked down the shaft with its burning, amber eyes. The grinning figure walked back into the shadows from whence it came.

Ronen Durdon- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Grandmaster Ronen Durdon greeted the Jedi Council in the morning and began to play back the security hologram recordings for all to see.

"As you can see, the number of attacks every night do not seem to be decreasing. I thought after the death of that Sith Apprentice we would have fewer attempted murders to deal with, but I was mistaken. Furthermore, I can feel that the Dark Side is getting stronger. I fear much of the progress we have made is slipping away from us.

Some of us managed to survive the attacks. I am relieved to see Driz Foun and Sio Eroseeth are still with us. However, in addition to our fallen heroes Le'ran Iss, Shi-la Ra, and Sinadd No, it seems one of our Knights was killed accidentally while patrolling the upper decks. Pal Winoff and the others will not be forgotten, and we will do them a great service by bringing these murderers to justice."


Sinadd No appeared before the council, in the form of glowing energy, along with Jacin Sky and Xando Caecilius.



Sinadd No: "Now is not the time to mourn our losses. We do not have the time to spare. You must remain focused, and bring down the Sith however you can."

Xando Caecilius: "You must feel the force flow through you, and use it to break through the fog of the Dark Side."

Jacin Sky: "Remember your training, and search your feelings. We will be watching."


Grandmaster Ronen Durdon ordered the council to begin their discussion, and retreated to study the Jedi Holocron.

• Excellent activity today guys! Keep it up! Wow!

Ronen Durdon noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Durdon asked.

The votes were counted.

"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.

"Who has been found guilty?"

"Sky Yi'do."

"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend herself." Ronen said.


Sky Yi'do: "Huh? What? Are you guys still accusing me? What did I do?"

Ronen Durdon: "You have been accused of murdering.....

Sky Yi'do: "I know that much, I'm not totally lost here. But WHY are you accusing me?"

Voice in the crowd: "You haven't been very talkative!"

Sky Yi'do: "And that means I'm Sith?"

Ronen Durdon: "Possibly, you're lurking to avoid suspicion."

Sky Yi'do: "Oh get real. Why would I keep doing it then? You're making a huge mistake here!"

Ronen Durdon: "Do you have anything else to say in your defense?"

Sky Yi'do: "Yeah, maybe one thing. I'M INNOCENT!!! You're making a big mistake!! You're making a big mistake!!! Get your hands off of me, you're not throwing me in that airlock. Get away from me!"

Ronen Durdon: "Hold her down. We'll toss her in there by force."

Sky Yi'do: "You're wasting your time! I'm not going to allow myself to die this way. I'm not a Sith, I'm not a Sith!"

Voice in the crowd: "But you are acting like one!"

Sky Yi'do: "Bollocks and poppycock! I'm doing no such thing! Your senses must need to be attuned! You're making a huge mistake!!!"


With that, Sky Yi'do was dumped unceremoniously into the hangar bay, and the doors were slammed shut. Pouting at first, Sky Yi'do began to center herself, and called upon the Force. The force fields were released and she was blown out into space. Once there, she began spinning around in one direction, then the other. Then she did the "moonwalk" and a few other dance moves. She was clearly indicating that she was still alive.

After watching this display, Ronen Durdon sighed with disappointment and used the tractor beam to pull her back into the hangar bay. She was alive and well. Pressure was restored and she walked back into the ranks of the Jedi Council with a smirk on her face.


Ronen Durdon: "You have defied the judgment of the council!"

Sky Yi'do: "Pardon me, your lordship. You have also survived the "judgment" of this council, so I don't want to hear about it. Maybe if their judgment wasn't so inaccurate, it wouldn't have been necessary."

Ronen Durdon: "So strong-headed, you are. Will you report for guard duty tonight as ordered?"

Sky Yi'do: "Of course I will. What do you think I am, a Sith?"





Suddenly, one of the support beams above the Council meeting gave way, and the several-ton mass of metal slammed into the deck, crushing one of the Jedi. It was Loris Midal, a rather quiet Jedi who hadn't been doing much of anything. Her loss was still deeply felt by the Jedi Council.

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Thursday, December 2nd, Eastern Time USA (If I get 21 people voting by midnight of the 1st, round will end 24 hours early.)

Kel Dih-mar was patrolling the destroyed starboard section where the deflector shield generators once were. This place had been destroyed four nights ago by a powerful being. There were still open sections exposed to space, where the entire deck had been ripped apart, with the atmospheric pressure maintained only through the structural integrity fields.


Unknown: "I've been waiting for you, Kel Dih-mar."


Kel turned around, igniting her lightsaber.


Kel Dih-mar: "Who's there? What do you want?"

Unknown: "I want to know why you're standing here in this dark, lifeless deck, looking out into space, instead of standing up for what you know is right."

Kel Dih-mar: "What do you mean?"

Unknown: "You have the potential to be more than just some plodding subordinate, a lackey guarding a pile of useless scrap."

Kel Dih-mar: "Who are you? Identify yourself!"

Unknown: "Perhaps you do not yet realize it... but you could destroy the Sith. I have foreseen it... you can become so much more than what you are. All you need to do is give yourself to the Dark Side...."

Kel Dih-mar: "Is that a fact? Why don't you step into the light so I can see your face... or are you afraid to make yourself known?"

Unknown: "Who I am is not important. If you could be turned... you would be a most powerful ally."

Kel Dih-mar: "No sale, whoever you are. If this is some kind of trick to test my loyalties, you've failed. I am a Jedi, and I always will be. Show yourself, and explain why you're trying this charade? Are you a Sith?"

Unknown: "Am I a Sith? I believe the point of all of this is, are you a Sith?"

Kel Dih-mar: "Answer the question..."



A cloaked figure stepped out of the shadows, and lifted a hand. Kel Dih-mar felt as if the life was being drained from her body, and she reacted quickly, and unleashed a prepared blast of the force, pushing the cloaked figure into a heap of twisted metal.


Kel Dih-mar: "Are you ready to talk, or do you want me to toss you around like a rag doll some more?"


The cloaked figure crawled out of the wreckage, and lifted its hands again. Kel Dih-mar felt the same strange sensation, as if the force was being pulled away... but before it could take effect, Kel Dih-mar interrupted her attacker with a sideways push, sending the cloaked being slamming into one of the busted corridor walls.

The cloaked figure stood up, and tried again, but Kel Dih-mar just threw the cloaked figure into the other side of the corridor, and advanced on the fallen figure with her lightsaber.


Kel Dih-mar: "I think I've been more than patient with you. You're under arrest! Stop right where you are!"


But a strange sensation came over Kel, and she lost her concentration. When she looked up, the cloaked being was already gone.

__________________________

Kenth Cogma was returning to his quarters, when he noticed that someone else was following him. Reacting quickly, he began to shield his force signature, and he turned a corner and slipped into the shadows.


The cloaked assailant who had been following him lost track of Cogma, and stood at a junction of two walkways, unsure of which way to go. Suddenly, without warning, another being dropped down from an opening in the above deck, and landed between the cloaked assailant and his target. The cloaked figure ignited its lightsaber.

Reacting quickly, the assailant ignited a gold lightsaber as well, and the two powerful beings clashed sabers. The one with the green lightsaber stood in a Djem so stance, and the one with the gold lightsaber stood in a Makashi stance. The two sabers illuminated the dark, unused section of the ship, and the sound of the two sabers crashing into one another was the only sound that could be heard, other than the sound of boots against metal.


The assailant with the gold lightsaber delivered elegant parries and precise thrusts, demonstrating great skill with the Makashi style, the mark of a true fencing expert. The unknown Samaritan pressed the attack, countering all of the aggressive moves from the one with the golden saber, pushing the fencer off-balance and onto his or her back heel.

For a time, it was clear that the one with the green saber held a slight advantage, but the fencer soon regained footing and held the green one to a standstill, and even began to press the attack. After a slight adjustment, the fencer was able to parry the counterattacking motions with ease, and push back the green saber. The Makashi style was very much suited for this kind of combat, able to react with flowing, natural motions and offset powerful strikes with ease.

The one with the green saber retreated a bit, and gave the gold-sabered attacker a wide berth. The assailant did not follow, preferring to recover from the sudden unexpected attack. The one with the green saber centered him/herself. Not willing to let the Samaritan regain concentration, the gold-sabered one pressed the attack, and charged forward.

One of the power regulators from the wall of the corridor detached with a shower of sparks, and came streaking toward the gold-sabered assailant. The cloaked figure sidestepped the large, flying object, and cut it to pieces with a reactive swing. Then the cloaked figure continued to advance.

Still meditating, the green-sabered one reached out with the Force, and sent a pile of metal wreckage flying towards the golden fighter. The twisted metal wreckage couldn't be deflected in time, so the golden fighter reached out with the Force and steeled itself, and the debris merely bounced off of its hardened body. The golden fighter continued advancing.

The green fighter's eyes snapped open and out came the green saber once again, this time with both sides of the hilt ignited.

The two figures clashed sabers again, but this time the green fighter detached one side of the lightsaber, and threw the object into the air behind the golden fighter. The saber ignited in midair, and began spinning around like a boomerang. The saber returned to where the two fighters were battling one another, and the golden fighter rolled backwards, out of the way just in time to avoid being sliced to pieces. When the golden fighter stood, the being made a quick motion to deflect the flying green projectile which had returned.

The green fighter continued advancing down the metal walkway, and more power regulators began snapping off of the walls, causing small fires and explosions. The metal objects hurtled toward the golden fighter, one by one, while the spinning green saber continued harassing the fencer. Every so often, the green fighter would deliver an elegant downward cut, forcing the fencer to block the move, and then roll out of the way of another flying object.

Realizing that it was outmatched, the being with the golden lightsaber turned and ran down the hall. The one with the green lightsaber called back the other, and it landed harmlessly in its hand and it was reattached. The flying objects hovered in midair for a moment, until the cloaked being released them from its mental grip. They crashed to the deck, and the green-saber figure watched the attacker flee. It did not pursue.

__________________________

Bane Anded was wandering the halls when he turned the corner and saw a cloaked figure standing between him and the turbolift. Unsure if he was seen, Bane jumped back behind the corner, and tried to mask his force signature.


The familiar crackle of Force Lightning alerted Bane that he had indeed been spotted. He began to make his way in the opposite direction, trying to escape.

As he bolted down the corridor, he was struck by the second volley of lightning, and it sent him flying face-first into the deck, howling in pain. The cloaked figure rushed forward, taking advantage of Anded's prone state. It prepared to fire another blast.

Bane rolled to his feet and erected a powerful shield, just as the cloaked figure unleashed a third volley of lightning. The force of the blast knocked Bane back a bit, but the shield held. Frustrated, the cloaked figure pushed as deeply as it could into the Force, and unleashed maximum power against Bane. The brilliant, crackling current was completely absorbed by the Force shield, and Bane was able to maintain the shield effectively. When Bane was able to maintain the shield with one hand, and unleash his lightsaber with the other, the cloaked assailant cursed and simply fled the scene.

Bane grinned as he watched the attacker flee. He was alive.

__________________________

Gith Ranay was keeping watch over the large hangar bay, near the end of Beta shift, when he sensed danger approaching. The airlock opened up, and a cloaked figure entered the hangar, charging directly at Ranay with an emerald lightsaber ignited.

Ranay broke his meditation, and ignited his green lightsaber, and stood in a classic Makashi stance.

His attacker clashed sabers with him, and the two fighters met each other in the Makashi style. What followed was a series of expertly delivered parries, dodges, thrusts, and graceful swings. The two swordsmen battled each other for some time, neither giving an inch. The attacker reached deeper into the Force, and was able to increase strength and valor in combat. However, the fully centered defender was able to offset this power with natural motions, balanced swings, and leveraged parries. The two fighters could not gain an advantage over one another.

It was almost time for the morning meeting, and the attacker was making no progress at all. It performed a graceful backflip out of danger, and ran as fast as it could toward the airlock. After diving through it, the airlock was closed with the Force, and the attacker escaped.

__________________________

Grandmaster Ronen Durdon sat alone in the darkened Command Center of the ship, meditating. He was aware that two beings had just stepped off the main turbolift, and were approaching the bridge from the port and starboard access doors. He was also aware of another, lying in the shadows.

As he communed with the Force, he saw into the future. He had a vision of things to come. He strengthened his mind, and prepared for battle.

The doors behind him on the left and the right slid open to reveal a pair of assassins.




_____________________________________

Ronen Durdon: "Prepared for your arrival, I have. I know why you are here. I can sense the Dark Side has clouded your judgment, if you think you are prepared to face me."


First: "It is clear that you are guilty of crimes aboard this vessel. Since you were able to slip past the judgment of the Council, it's become clear that there is only one way to end your reign of terror."


Ronen Durdon: "Terror, say you? Hmmm.... from where comes this terror? The shroud of the Dark Side has blinded you. See not the truth, do you? Resorting to murder to resolve a murder, yes.... if a reign of terror there is, from you, it comes."


Second: "You're not fooling anyone you know. You might have beaten An-Wan Dyas and that one with the purple saber, but are you strong enough to face us?"


Ronen Durdon: "Strong enough to face death without fear, I am. But strong enough are you, to turn back now, before too late it is?"


First: "SHUT UP!!! I've heard enough of that backwards-talk out of you. Do you think that makes you sound intelligent?"


Second: "You're guilty of murdering Jedi, I know this. The time has come for you to answer to justice."


Ronen Durdon: "To whom do you answer, then? Yourselves? Administer justice blindly, do you... how appropriate. And unfortunate."

A third figure stepped out of the shadows, and ignited a purple lightsaber.

Third: "Stand back, traitors of the Council, or I shall be forced to defend Grandmaster Durdon with my life!"


First: "Who is this, Durdon? Your pet dog? Or perhaps, YOUR SITH APPRENTICE!!!"

The first figure raised a hand and unleashed Force Lightning at the Jedi standing between him and the Grandmaster. The crackling Force Lightning hit the young Jedi squarely in the chest, and sent him flying down into the starboard control pit. After a moment of being stunned, the young Jedi jumped out of the pit and returned fire, unleashing a stream of protons at the first cloaked assassin.

Reacting quickly, the cloaked assassin threw up a shield. The protons harmlessly bounced off of the protective field.


First: "You're going to have to do a **** of a lot better than that, fool."


Second: "You're leaving us little choice, young one. I wouldn't want to have to arrest you both...."


Third: "This isn't an arrest, and it isn't lawful either. You might as well drop the pretense, you're nothing but Sith Lords!"


First: "I grow weary of waiting for you to move out of the way. I was saving this for Durdon over there, but if you insist on interfering on our affairs..."


The first cloaked assassin began summoning more energy, and fired Force Lightning again at the interloper. This time, the being was ready, and held its purple lightsaber at just the right angle, in the Soresu stance. The lightning went directly toward the beam, like a lightning rod. What little remained of the stray energy scattered in other directions.


Ronen Durdon: "Good, young Kidou. Use the Force.... stretch out with your feelings."


Third: "Yes, master, I will try."


The interloper returned fire with another beam of charged protons, but the reflective shielding surrounding the first assailant held firmly. However, the act of erecting such a barrier while also firing force lightning caused both to weaken, and allow Wen Kidou to advance while turning back the Force Lightning. Frustrated, the First assailant stopped firing Force Lightning, and began summoning a massive orb of dark energy.


Ronen Durdon: "Feel what dangers lie ahead. You must not give in to your fear, you must control it. Focus instead on turning back these attacks."


First: "Shut up, Durdon! Let this one fight his own battles!"


Third: "I sense pain.... I feel death!"


Ronen Durdon: "It is your future, you see. Do not let it distract you, young master Kidou. Remain in the moment, or lose yourself in it, you will."


First: "Yeah, remain focused so you can face your death with open eyes, Sith!"


The first assassin unleashed the glowing orb of dark energy, and fired it directly at Wen Kidou. Reacting quickly, Wen took his purple lightsaber and swung it as hard as he could at just the right angle, at the center of the orb, reversing its direction and sending it straight back at the first assassin.

The glowing orb of dark energy picked up speed, and the first assassin took out its lightsaber and reflected it straight back at Wen. Wen similarly returned the volley, and the assassin reflected it back. Wen delivered a spinning cut, sending the orb back at its master in a strange arc, making it unreturnable. The dark energy ball slammed into the first assassin's protective shielding, weakening it slightly.

The assassin fired another glowing dark orb of energy, and Wen reflected it back. This time, the assassin didn't bother to deflect it, simply charged up another volley, and another, and began firing them rapidly at Wen Kidou, who delivered them all back to their origin with masterful skill. The protective shielding began to buckle, as the assassin wasn't even bothering to maintain it.

As he began charging up a much larger blast of dark energy, Wen prepared himself, and also began charging up. Kidou jumped out of the way of the huge blast of dark energy, rolled to his feet, and unleashed another beam of brilliant protons at the assassin's weakened shield. This time, the shield collapsed, and the first assassin was hit with the full power of a stunning burst of particles, which ripped through his body. The cloaked being slammed into the wall and knocked unconscious.


Ronen Durdon: "Good.... Good young Kidou. You have proven yourself to be worthy. Were I able to, I would bestow upon you the rank of Master. But I must ask you to leave this place, while you still can."


Third: "What are you saying, Master? We can easily handle the other one, together!"


Ronen Durdon: "Strong enough to face this one, you are not. You must go."


Third: "I'm not leaving without you, Master. I feel that my destiny lies with you."


Second: "Are you quite through playing games, gentlemen? Need I remind you that you're both under arrest? You will disarm yourselves and come with me...."


The second assassin ignited both lightsabers, and stood in an advanced Form VI- Niman stance.

Second: "....Or I will take you into custody by force."


Ronen Durdon: "Kidou, leave NOW! That is an order!"


Wen Kidou: "No, you need help. I won't let this Sith destroy you, Master!"


Second: "So be it. You leave me little choice, your grace...."


Ronen Durdon: "As do you, my old padawan."

The grandmaster ignited his blue lightsaber.

Standing in the usual Form III- Soresu stance, Grandmaster Ronen Durdon prepared for battle against the assassin.


Wen Kidou charged toward the assassin, and leaped over the being, landing on the starboard side of the chamber, blocking the exit to the main turbolift. Now the second assassin was surrounded on two sides. Without flinching, the being with two sabers reached deep into the Force, and doubled its strength and valor, and swiftly moved toward Grandmaster Durdon, with Wen Kidou in hot pursuit.


The saber masters clashed with each other ferociously, in a blur of brilliant blue. It was all Wen could do to keep up with the other two, as the second assassin wisely circled Durdon, keeping Kidou away from its back.

The balanced Niman form allowed the second assassin to easily deflect attacks from Kidou's saber, while focusing almost exclusively on Durdon. Durdon fought mightily, pushing back the assassin, attempting to force the being away from Kidou.


Reaching deep into the Force, Durdon attempted to weaken the assassin with a massive blast of speed and strength. The assassin, backed into a corner, did a flying springboard leap off of the wall behind it, and dove headlong over the heads of the other two, moving back to the center of the chamber.

Wen Kidou attempted to stun the assassin with another beam of protons, but the second assassin erected a similar force shield to the one erected by the other assassin.

The protons bounced harmlessly off of it, and the assassin ran to the port side of the room, over to where the first assassin had fallen, putting Wen Kidou between him/herself and the Grandmaster.


Ronen Durdon: "Stand aside, young Kidou!"


Wen Kidou: "I won't let you harm him."


The second assassin clashed sabers with Wen, who fought valiantly in the Soresu style, like his master. But the two blades were too much for Wen to keep up with, even with mastery of the art of movement. After blocking one blow, he was forced to hold his saber still to prevent the other blade from cutting off his head. The second assassin easily shattered Wen's blade, cutting off his hand in the process. Wen attempted to roll out of the way, but he only ended up getting between the second assassin and Grandmaster Ronen Durdon once again. Saber met flesh, and the blow that was meant for Durdon ended up penetrating Wen Kidou in the chest, and he fell to the ground, mortally wounded.

Ronen Durdon: "Now you have come to punish me for that which you've done yourself. Back down."


Second: "If you had surrendered, none of this would have happened. Worst of all, you knew this was going to happen. You are the one who must back down!"


Ronen Durdon: "Hear you nothing that I say? Very well. The hard lesson, I must teach you."


Glowing with Light, Grandmaster Ronen Durdon tapped deeply into his training, and allowed the Force to flow fully through him. With a sudden burst of strength and precision, and precognition of his opponent's movements, Ronen Durdon sliced completely through the assailant's second lightsaber hilt, rendering it inoperable.

Switching to the Makashi style, the assailant attempted to break through the Grandmaster's defenses once more, but the Grandmaster anticipated every move. Even a second wind and a burst of strength and valor from the assassin did no good. Ronen Durdon had become one with the force.

The light emanating from Durdon was almost more than the assassin could bear, but the assassin closed its eyes and continued to fight, feeling the force and allowing it to guide his/her movements. Nothing could have prepared this assassin for the mastery of this being, who began screaming with power, leaping into the air and flipping over the assassin, bouncing off of the walls, demonstrating a creative mastery of the Soresu form, keeping the blade pointed at his opponent, while moving his body out of range of his opponent's attacks. The Makashi form was meant for fencing, it was not meant for aerial combat. The assassin kept up, demonstrating an impressive amount of skill, but it was clear that the assassin had more left to learn.


Ronen Durdon: "See through you, I can."


With one more swing, Ronen Durdon utterly disarmed the second assassin, shattering the second blade. The assassin backed off, but seemed to be simply in shock that s/he was beaten. The being didn't even try to run. The first assassin began to stir.


Ronen Durdon: "Wish me to teach you the final lesson?"


Upon hearing these words, the assassin fled. Ronen looked down at the fallen Kidou, and attempted to comfort the young Jedi.


Ronen Durdon: "Death is only an illusion. Become part of the Force, you will. Do not fear."


Wen Kidou closed his eyes, and died.


Ronen Durdon: "If leave now you do not, join Kidou you will."


The first assassin grabbed its lightsaber and ran out of the command center, leaving the Grandmaster alone with the Force.

Ronen Durdon- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Grandmaster Ronen Durdon greeted the Jedi Council in the morning and began to play back the security hologram recordings for all to see.

"The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Blinded, twisted, have we become. And yet, in the darkness, still there is light. So many Jedi could have been slain, but many of us have prevailed. We lost the brave Wen Kidou, who gave his life to defend my own.

I will not deny that I feel anger towards those who have hurt us. But those feelings will only serve to confuse us and blind us further, with rage. Honor their memories with hasty action, we will not. Find the Sith hiding among us, we must. Bring them before me. Paid with their lives, enough Jedi have. For the Sith, the time to pay their debts is long overdue.

Seek the Dark One, we must. The Force wants this dark master returned to it."

Ronen Durdon ordered the council to begin their discussion, and retreated to study the Jedi Holocron.

• Excellent activity today guys! Keep it up! Wow!

Ronen Durdon noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Durdon asked.

The votes were counted.

"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.

"Who has been found guilty?"

"Malious de Wal."

"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend himself." Ronen said.

Malious de Wal: "Is this really your judgment? You didn't seem very certain of this, my friends."

Ronen Durdon: "Regardless, that is the choice that has been made. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Malious de Wal: "If you are not convinced of my innocence simply by the fact that there has been no evidence of any wrongdoing, then there is nothing I can say to defend myself any further. Your judgment is simply flawed."

Ronen Durdon: "Are you prepared to receive your judgment?"

Malious de Wal: "Of course. Perhaps my becoming one with the Force will allow you to see your error, and allow you to focus on the more likely suspects."

Ronen Durdon: "Please enter the hangar bay".



Malious de Wal handed over his lightsaber and Jedi robes, and began to meditate in the middle of the hangar, as the airlocks closed and the outer bay doors began to open.


Malious de Wal: "May the Force be with you all."



Ronen Durdon pressed the switch, and the hangar bay decompressed, blowing Malious de Wal out into space. He quickly suffocated, and died.

The tremor felt throughout the Force was impossible to ignore. Once again, the Jedi had put someone to death who was unusually strong with the Light Side of the Force. The Grandmaster dropped to a knee from the sheer weight of what they had done.


Ronen Durdon: "Bring back the body.... put it with the others."



The Jedi began their nightly duties in silence.

Autolycus- Malious de Wal

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Sunday, December 5th, Eastern Time USA (If I get 19 people voting by midnight of the 4th, round will end 24 hours early.)

Bos Dhi Kao was keeping watch over the weapons locker, in the security section near the command center of the ship. Alpha shift was almost over. He was kneeling in front of the locked security door, meditating. He was aware that there were two beings approaching.... one from the main turbolift in the aft section of the corridor, and one from the secondary turbolift in the forward section of the corridor.

The one approaching from the main turbolift would have to pass through the security force-fields. The one approaching from the secondary turbolift had a clear path to Bos Dhi Kao.

As soon as the first being stepped off of the secondary turbolift, Bos Dhi Kao sprang into action. His eyes snapped open and he immediately ignited his pair of green lightsabers, and stood in an advanced Ataru stance. The cloaked assassin stood, meditating.

Bos Dhi Kao: "You're not authorized to be on this deck! You will immediately step back onto that turbolift and return to your quarters! If you do not leave immediately I will be forced to engage you!"

First assassin: "You're right about one thing. You will be forced to engage me...."

Without further hesitation, both Bos Dhi Kao and the unknown assailant leaped into the air, and landed just a few feet away from one another. They charged one another and their lightsabers clashed. The assassin was using the Djem So form. The two powerful beings stood toe to toe with one another, both demonstrating incredible skill with the sabers, but Bos Dhi Kao was demonstrating a clear advantage.

The twin saber Ataru form savaged the more subtle Djem So defenses. The style was so aggressive, that there wasn't any clear way for the Perseverance form to get in the counterattacks which so typified Djem So. While the assailant was blocking and countering the incredible onslaught of blows from the twin Ataru blades. The attacks were merciless, fast, and unending. Immediately, the purple-saber assassin was forced backwards, unable to get in a single counterattack. Worse, Bos Dhi Kao began demonstrating a mastery of the art of movement, and with force-assisted leaps, spins, flips, and other movements, Bos Dhi Kao literally fought circles around his opponent.

Reaching deep into the Force, the purple-saber assailant doubled its speed and strength, trying to keep up. The assailant wasn't even close, and the defender reached deeper into the Force as well, and demonstrated incredible valor and strength, while maintaining the forceful, infinite aggression. There wasn't so much as an attempt at defense, all of the saber movements were aimed at breaking down the Djem So defenses.

Roaring with effort, Bos Dhi Kao delivered a combination of strikes designed to wither his opponent. Leaping into the air, twisting around like a cyclone, Bos Dhi Kao unleashed a flurry of spinning strikes towards his opponent. The first four blows were blocked by the purple saber, and the fifth made contact with the saber hilt, shattering it to pieces. The sixth made contact with the assassin's hand, cutting it from its body. Bos Dhi Kao landed squarely in front of the assailant, and completed the spinning movement with a roundhouse kick to the face, sending the assassin flying into the metal sliding door of the turbolift shaft, which broke open.... The turbolift car was no longer there, it had moved several decks downward.


Turning around, Bos Dhi Kao sensed that the second assassin had finally made it through the security force fields, and he charged down towards his opponent, to protect the security room.


Bos Dhi Kao: "You're under arrest! Kneel and surrender, or face the consequences!"

Second assassin: "Don't count on it!"

The second assassin finished meditating and unleashed an emerald lightsaber, and charged forward in the makashi style. Bos Dhi Kao leaped forward and began his spinning combination once again, in the same advanced Ataru stance.

The second assassin easily parried all of the lightning fast blows like a master fencer, utilizing the superior form against the more experimental and overly aggressive Ataru. This particular assassin also understood the art of movement, and was able to counter the increasingly complex aerial gymnastics displayed by Bos Dhi Kao.

Bos Dhi Kao still held a slight advantage, but he was unable to break through the elegant, natural, flowing defenses of the Makashi form. Every solid, overpowering blow was met with little resistance, but a well-leveraged deflection or a parry. The second assassin reached deeper into the force and demonstrated incredible valor in combat, strengthening to the point where all of the blows were easy to resist.

This battle raged on for some time, until it was clear to the second assassin that there was no opening for an attack. They were both tiring, and Bos Dhi Kao was slightly better skilled. After a nearly lethal blow which forced the assailant back, the security force fields came down between the two attackers, and Bos Dhi Kao watched the second attacker escape down the main turbolift shaft.

Sweating, the master swordsman switched off his twin blades, and returned to his meditation.

__________________________

On-so C'ba was getting ready for Beta shift, when he noticed that the person he was meant to relive of duty wasn't even there. Instead there was a cloaked figure he did not recognize.


On-so C'ba: "What are you doing here?"

Unknown: "........"


Reacting quickly, On-so ignited his emerald lightsaber and began to meditate.

The cloaked figure ignited a lightsaber as well.

The unknown assailant unleashed a force leap, landing in front of On-so, and began advancing on him with the Soresu style. On-so's Makashi style wasn't able to break through the powerful Soresu defense, and so he was forced to give ground. The assailant was obviously well-trained. On-so reached deep into the Force, and unleashed a burst of force valor.

The strength and concentration that On-so was able to demonstrate allowed him to halt the advance, and hold back his attacker. He stood his ground and clashed sabers at close range, neither of them giving an inch.

The two titans fought, and began to wear each other out. Frustrated at not making more headway, the cloaked assailant executed a backwards leap and fled the scene.

On-so switched off his lightsaber. Somehow, he had survived!

__________________________

Ku-vect Belthon was wandering the twisted corridors in the bowels of the ship, near the destroyed sections. Things were uneventful, until the sound of a lightsaber igniting above her head caused Ku-vect to look up. Reacting quickly, she unleashed her lightsaber and blocked a blow that would have been lethal, as the cloaked assassin dropped down from the metal walkway above her head.

Ku-vect held her yellow lightsaber in the Niman style, utilizing the Moderation Form. The assailant however, began pounding on her relentlessly with the Makashi style, wielding a golden saber.

Without warning, Ku-vect was bathed in light. Out of nowhere, a wall of light was erected, surrounding Ku-vect on all sides. Ku-vect seemed a little startled, but retained her focus.

Growling, the golden saber assassin touched the wall of light with its lightsaber, and found that the saber could pass through the light. In an instant, the attacker continued to press the attack against Ku-vect, who had to defend herself in spite of the defensive field.

Concentrating, Ku-vect unleashed a combination of defense and attack, the perfect balance, and in just the right positions and with just enough leverage to turn back the flowing, elegant Makashi attacks. This modern technique, Niman, was able to penetrate the more traditional Makashi defenses, and after a few minutes of hard struggling, Ku-vect smashed the golden lightsaber to pieces.

The assassin immediately turned and fled the scene before any more damage was done.

__________________________

Rivan Nul was guarding the corridors near the shuttle bays. The corridor was filled with smoke and debris, from the massive explosions which took place over a week ago. There wasn't much left worth keeping an eye on down here, but it was the perfect place for the Sith to be hiding. At least, that is what the Grandmaster had concluded.

The shift passed uneventfully, but Nul suddenly felt a cold chill when it was time for his shift to end. Sure enough, he felt a presence approaching. He turned around quickly and ignited his lightsaber.

The cloaked figure approached and lifted a hand. Thinking quickly, Rivan Nul attempted to close the distance between them and cut the being down with a single stroke. He allowed a trickle of the Force to flow through his body, and his strength and speed doubled.


He sprang into action, and within a flash, he was already upon the cloaked figure, saber raised in the Soresu stance. Suddenly, he felt as if he were being strangled. The cloaked figure moved backward, while continuing to execute the hold. Rivan Nul was lifted up off of the ground, and he couldn't breathe. He swung his lightsaber fruitlessly, unable to reach his opponent. He dropped the saber and clawed at his throat, and began to lose consciousness. The figure raised another hand, and Rivan Nul had all of the wind knocked out of his body. His chest began to compress by an unseen force, and bones began to snap. The cloaked figure made an even tighter gripping motion with its hands, and began slamming Rivan Nul against one side of the corridor, and back against the other. With burning hatred, the creature gripped tighter still, and Rivan Nul's blood shot out of his nose and his eyes became bloodshot. His body caved in on itself and was crushed smaller and smaller. With one final pushing motion, the creature hurled the body of Rivan Nul straight through one of the airtight duranium bulkheads, killing him instantly.

__________________________

Driz Foun was returning to his quarters, now that his Beta shift guard rotation was complete. When he was just at the door, he pressed the buttons to open, and found that the passcode had been changed.

Turning around, the Jedi of short stature noticed an imposing figure standing some distance down the hall, wearing a cloak to disguise its features.


Grumbling, the short Jedi ignited one end of his yellow saber and stood in the Soresu form, ready for anything.

The hissing of a door sliding open startled both of them, and a third figure emerged from the quarters just a few doors down from Driz Foun, standing between Foun and the cloaked assailant, igniting a golden lightsaber.

Taung Eeda: "In the name of the Jedi Council, I order you to stand back! I know you've been stalking Foun, and this ends right here, right now!"


Wordlessly, the cloaked figure raised its hands and began summoning dark energy. Without hesitation, Taung Eeda reached deep into the Force and unleashed Force Valor, and began charging at the unarmed cloaked figure. When Eeda was just a few feet away, the being fired a beam of dark energy directly at Eeda, who tried to block the beam with his lightsaber....

The dark energy beam hit Eeda's lightsaber and knocked him to the deck, blowing the lightsaber out of his hands and stunning him for a moment. The beam continued all the way down the corridor, where it impacted Driz Foun's lightsaber, just as he was executing the spinning saber barrier maneuver in the Soresu style, knocking Foun against the wall of the corridor and sending him sprawling to the floor. The two Jedi quickly recovered and grabbed their lightsabers.

Spend, the cloaked creature could not summon another beam of dark energy, but the creature had one more tactic. It waited, as the two Jedi advanced, moving closer... and closer... and closer.....

As the two Jedi raised their lightsabers, the cloaked figure unleashed a powerful Force Scream. The sonic wave hit the strengthened Eeda, whose Valor-protected body was nearly able to withstand the direct blast of sonic energy, but the scream was so powerful and lasted so long, that the wounds sustained from the blast became too great, and Eeda lay dead in the corridor.

Driz Foun, however, was almost immediately blown to pieces by the force of the blast, and was splattered against the walls of the corridor, rendered unrecognizable.

Both Jedi were clearly dead when it was all over.

The cloaked figure escaped.

Ronen Durdon- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Grandmaster Ronen Durdon called the meeting of the Jedi Council to order.


"As you can see from the security recordings, there were many attacks last night. Some of us are rather lucky to be alive. Bos Dhi Kao, On-so C'ba, and Ku-vect Belthon, I am glad to see you are still with us.

Unfortunately, its clear that Rival Nul did not survive, and Taung Eeda died bravely trying to defend the life of Driz Foun, who also met a tragic end. They will be deeply missed. We must root out their murderers, before it is too late!"

Ronen Durdon ordered the council to begin their discussion, and retreated to study the Jedi Holocron.

Ronen Durdon noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Durdon asked.

The votes were counted.

"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.

"Who has been found guilty?"

"Zan Finnay."

"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend himself." Ronen said.

Zan Finnay: "Well, I've given you every defense I can think of already, my friends. It hasn't made you change your mind."

Ronen Durdon: "Regardless, I would prefer to hear you explain yourself."

Zan Finnay: "Simply put, I'm being accused because I am one of the higher-ranking members of the Jedi Council, and I haven't been attacked (yet). That's entirely true, so a defense isn't really necessary. I've been spending my nights diligently searching for the Sith."

Ronen Durdon: "Have you found any?"

Zan Finnay: "I don't know, yet. We learned from you that our powers may not be strong enough to find the Dark One, and an apprentice died rather recently. I don't have anything conclusive."

Ronen Durdon: "Your fellow Jedi think that you've been rather defensive, bristling at the accusation that you could be Sith."

Zan Finnay: "Forgive me, but I wished to defend myself most vigorously, as we only have so much time remaining and I am not a Sith. This only wastes time, as I'm able to survive this judgment anyway. I had hoped to avoid such an outcome."

Ronen Durdon: "Do you accept the sentence?"

Zan Finnay: "Yes, of course. It's entirely possible that an innocent Jedi was spared from a wrongful judgment today, and if I must endure the vacuum of space, then so be it. Hopefully the Force will provide us clearer answers in the morning, and we can try again to find the real villains behind this."



Zan Finnay handed over his lightsaber and Jedi robes, and calmly entered the hangar bay. He smiled at the remaining Jedi, as if assuring them he would be all right. Ronen Durdon pressed the button and released the force field, and Zan Finnay was blown out into space, where he remained motionless for a while... and then began waving at the Jedi, letting them know he was still alive. He floated back into the hangar bay, and pressure was restored.


When the air had returned to the bay, the other Jedi entered to find Zan Finnay gasping for breath, with the usual wounds sustained from the vacuum of space. He passed out.


Ronen Durdon: "Take him to the medical bay. Tend to his wounds."


The other Jedi complied. Ronen furrowed his brow, and wondered what the Jedi were going to do now. He ordered everyone else to begin their training, and then head off to their quarters or start first watch.

REMINDER: Closed thread means communications SILENCE. The only exceptions are people who know that I gave them that exception.

Busy day for me today, so you might end up with extra time tonight, you might not. I will aim for 24 hours and if I can do it, that's that. But I have an interview and I also have a LOT of game-related work to do. I'll inform you later tonight if I think it's going to require an extension or not.

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Wednesday, December 8th, Eastern Time USA

Kel Dih-Mar was heading to the Master's ceremony, when she was approached by a cloaked figure. By now, it was simply assumed that anyone approaching meant harm, so she ignited her green lightsaber and stood in a Djem so stance.

The cloaked assassin stood in a Soresu stance and ignited a lightsaber as well.

Kel Dih-Mar turned and bolted down the hallway, trying to escape. She reached deep into the force and doubled her speed and strength. But her escape route was cut short when someone pulled the blast doors down in the hallway ahead, using the force. Without an escape route, Kel immediately began to kneel and meditate. She could hear the assassin approaching from behind, and she sprang into action. Just as the attacker was about to deal a mortal blow, Kel performed a backwards leap over the head of the assassin, and tried to make a run for it. But this assassin was already a step ahead, and used the force to lower the blast doors on the opposing side. Trapped, Kel turned and faced her attacker.

With incredible speed, she fought like a cornered beast, answering quick Soresu attacks with vicious Djem So counterstrikes. They were evenly matched, but Kel Dih Mar was able to gain the upper hand due to her focus and speed. She forced the assailant backwards. The assassin reached deeper into the Force, and doubled its strength and valor in combat; now the assassin held its ground, and slowly turned the tide of the battle once more. Pressing forward, the attacker deflected all of the Djem So attacks, and approached too close for comfort, so Kel was forced backwards.

Even with all her force-boosted strength and speed, Kel could not break the assassin's defenses, and she was being backed into the blast doors. Ducking a lethal-looking swing, she rolled backwards, got to her feet, and jumped off of the blast doors and over the head of the assailant. With great speed she bolted down the hallway, and threw her lightsaber at the control panel, causing it to short out. The blast doors disengaged and opened slightly, allowing Kel to dive through the opening and make a mad dash to safety. She escaped.

The assassin quietly cursed and switched off the lightsaber.

__________________________

Ku-vect Belthon was on her way to the Master's ceremony, when she too was approached by a cloaked figure.

The cloaked assassin stood motionless, meditating. Ku-vect seized the initiative and ignited her yellow lightsaber. She readied herself in the Niman stance.

Suddenly, without warning, Ku-vect was bathed in light. Appearing out of nowhere was a brilliant, shimmering wall of light side energy, completely surrounding Ku-vect, acting as a barrier.


The assassin's eyes snapped open and completely ignored the force barrier, diving straight through it and attacking Ku-vect with the golden lightsaber. They both fought in the Niman form, and they both seemed to be fairly adept at using it.

However, Ku-vect was at a disadvantage. The saber was not her focus, and her mind must have been elsewhere. The assassin was more focused, and the attacks were more precise.

Reaching deep into the force, Ku-vect unleashed a scattering field of charged protons, hoping to stun her attacker. The assassin's lightsaber simply repulsed the charged particles.

After a hard struggle, the assassin knocked the yellow lightsaber out of Belthon's hands and impaled her through the chest.

The light surrounding Belthon began to fade, and everything went black. The assassin fled the scene immediately.

__________________________

Land Jamgii was nearly at the Master's ceremony when he was also approached by a cloaked figure. Reacting quickly, he ignited his lightsaber and stood in the Makashi stance.

The cloaked assassin was busy meditating, and Jamgii thought about simply fleeing the scene, when suddenly the assassin's eyes opened and it charged directly toward Jamgii, saber ignited and held in a Makashi pose.

Jamgii clashed sabers with the assassin, and they fought like the fencing masters of old, in the traditional style. The smooth, flowing, elegant style was a spectacular display; a carefully choreographed dance between combatants. One of the fighters was slightly more focused than the other... and the differences became apparent when Jamgii was pushed further and further back... the assassin still struggled to break through, and it reached deeper into the force, and summoned additional strength and valor.

The added strength and energy allowed the assassin to shatter Jamgii's lightsaber and impale him straight through the chest. Jamgii gasped, but he could not breathe.... the shock to his system made him lose consciousness.

The assassin withdrew the saber and dashed away from the scene.

__________________________

Brie-ang Gis took the main turbolift to meet with the others in one of the unused cargo bays. He felt the turbolift come to a halt and the doors opened to reveal a cloaked figure, staring directly at Gis. Reacting almost instinctively, Gis reached deep into the Force and unleashed a powerful force push in the direction of the cloaked figure, but the figure just raised a hand, and nothing happened. Brie-ang ignited his purple lightsaber, stood in a Soresu stance, and prepared to cut the assassin down where it stood.

Suddenly, Brie-ang felt as though something powerful had grabbed hold of his throat, and it lifted him up off of the ground. He swung his lightsaber fruitlessly at his assailant, but he could not reach. He dropped his lightsaber and clawed at his throat. The assassin reacted by gripping tighter with a hand motion, and began crushing Brie-ang's chest. Bones began to snap, and all the wind was knocked out of him. Gripping even tighter, the assassin slammed Gis back and forth, from one side of the turbolift to the other, and slammed him against the roof of the turbolift car, and slammed him back against the floor of the turbolift. The assassin gripped very tightly, and blood shot out of Brie-ang's mouth and nose, and his body began to crush and crumple like a sheet of paper into an unrecognizable ball of flesh and bone, killing him instantly. With one final motion, the assassin pushed forward as hard as it could, and the remains of Brie-ang Gis were pushed so hard against the back of the turbolift car that it knocked the car completely off of the lift mechanism, and both the car and Brie-ang's remains plummeted to the bottom of the shaft.

Satisfied, the cloaked figure fled the scene.

__________________________

After attending the Master's ceremony with the others, Zan Finnay was heading back to his quarters for some rest. As he turned the corner, he was surprised to see three cloaked figures standing in his path.


Zan Finnay: "Is there something I can do for you, Masters?"


First assassin: "You're under arrest, Finnay."

Second assassin: "Give me your weapons or face the consequences."

Third assassin: "Surrender before I am forced to destroy you."


Zan Finnay: "Just let me pass, if you would please."



The three assassins each drew their lightsabers.



Zan Finnay: "I see.... well I must assume you've fallen to the Dark Side. Perhaps you didn't hear, but Jacin Sky, Sinadd No, and Xando Caecilius instructed us to stop attacking each other randomly at night. So either you've turned your back on the Jedi Council, or you were never loyal to it in the first place.... perhaps you're being lead by a Sith!"


Zan Finnay ignited his twin lightsabers, and stood in an advanced Niman stance. He had finished meditating after the Master's ceremony, and was now in the process of preparing his mind for battle. He reached deep into the force and could sense the future. He was now prepared to engage these assassins.

The first assassin also ignited a pair of lightsabers, and stood in an advanced Ataru stance.

The second assassin ignited a blue lightsaber, and stood in the Makashi stance, and began drawing electrons from the air.

The third assassin began drawing electrons from the air, preparing to unleash them unto Zan Finnay.



First assassin: "The only Sith here is you, Zan!"

Zan Finnay: "I beg to differ, I am not a Sith."



The second assassin unleashed a torrent of chain lightning at Master Finnay. The third assassin fired lightning at Finnay as well.


The lightning was drawn to Finnay's shimmering blue sabers, easily collecting the deadly charged particles, and drawing them away from his body.


The first assassin charged toward Finnay, ready to strike him down. Flicking a lightsaber into the air, Zan waved his hand and generated a field around his body which canceled out the force lightning. Tossing his other lightsaber into the air, Zan continued the motion towards his attacker, and the field intensified. Zan caught both of his blades.

His attacker felt slow and sluggish, but continued the attack. Joining the struggle, the second assassin jumped into the fray, and also began feeling slow and sluggish. The third assassin began circling the other three, attempting to attack Finnay from the flank.

Demonstrating incredible mastery of the saber, Zan Finnay moved with blinding speed, and within seconds he had shattered one of the assassin's green lightsabers in a shower of sparks, and kicked the assassin in the jaw, sending him flying into the wall of the corridor. Without missing a beat, Finnay spun around and deflected the blue lightsaber easily, and similarly shattered it into pieces, and cut off the assassin's hand, and then kicked the assassin in the chest, sending the cloaked figure flying into the opposing wall. Finnay did a flying backwards somersault, landing in front of the third assassin, who was preparing to unleash another torrent of Force lightning. With a quick move, Finnay deflected the lightning with one saber and sliced off the hand of his attacker with the other. Continuing the motion, Finnay delivered a roundhouse kick to the temple, knocking the attacker completely unconscious and sending its body skidding across the smooth deck, lightsaber clattering out of its other hand.

The first and second assassins had gathered their courage to try a second assault, and the second assassin even drew another blue saber, and held it in the opposite hand. Finnay wasted no time, and vaulted himself between them once again. Within seconds, he had shattered both of the remaining green lightsaber, and kicked the blue lightsaber out of the second assailant's hand, leaving all three of the assassins defenseless, and in some cases, with five fewer digits.

Tossing both lightsabers in the air, Finnay reached deep into the Force, and pushed the unarmed assailants against opposite walls, knocking them both unconscious. The bodies of the assailants crumpled to the deck, and the two lightsabers landed in Finnay's hands. He continued walking down the corridor, and switched both sabers off.


"You attend one little Master's ceremony and all of a sudden everyone starts having delusions of grandeur..." Finnay noted pityingly.

An-Wan Dyas was returning to her quarters after a long night, when she was approached by a cloaked figure.

Reacting on instinct, Dyas summoned valor and speed, sensed the future and strengthened her mind. She knew exactly what to expect. The cloaked figure unleashed a powerful sonic blast, summoning a second one from behind Dyas, attempting to crush Dyas with an overpowering reverberating force scream.

Dyas stood her ground, and concentrated. The blasts hit her body simultaneously, just as she finished shielding her body with her mind. The opposing sound waves canceled each other out. She opened her eyes and looked coldly at her attacker, and began waving her finger back and forth.


An-Wan Dyas: "I don't think so. You want to try one more time?"

The cloaked being had already begun summoning a vast reserve of dark energy, and fired the beam of energy at An-Wan. She didn't even bother igniting her lightsaber, but she raised her hands and tapped into the force.


The dark energy flowed into An-Wan Dyas' hands, vanishing harmlessly into a flash of light.


An-Wan Dyas: "I guess tonight is just not your night, is it?"


Roaring with frustration, the cloaked being fled the scene. An-Wan didn't try to pursue.

__________________________

Ronen Durdon sat in the command center of the ship, meditating peacefully. He was concentrating on something, someplace else. He seemed disappointed by the results.

He turned his attention elsewhere, searching through the force with his mind.... seeking someone....

Cloaked to the point of invisibility, Durdon felt no need to concentrate on his immediate surroundings. He was quite startled when he heard the sound of mechanical breathing behind him.


Assassin: "I can still see you....."

Maintaining the cloak, Durdon immediately spun around and threw up a powerful shield of protection.

The figure had already finished summoning unfathomable dark power, and raised its hands....






Silence.



Time stood still for a moment.... Ronen Durdon summoned the very deepest connection to the Force, and strengthened his shield to maximum.



Then it happened....


It happened so fast....



The dark energy tore through time and space, undoing the very fabric of existence. All matter, all energy, all life, the force, even space itself, for miles and miles in a single direction, was utterly annihilated.


Ronen Durdon was standing in the path of the blast. The force shield offered no resistance whatsoever. In the blink of an eye, he was obliterated from existence.

There was nothing left.... no matter, no energy.... no force ghost. Ronen was simply gone.... condemned to Oblivion.



The massive hole in the ship's hull led directly into space. For several moments, the deck remained compressed, as if there was a breakdown of normal temporal mechanics. The dark figure calmly exited through the turbolift, just as the atmosphere blew out into space. Several moments later, the ship's structural integrity fields switched on, as the ship drifted away from the wound in the force.


Power relays blew out all across the ship. The structure of the vessel shuddered, and consoles exploded. Half of the command center deck and most of the bridge section was exposed to open space. The shielding in that section was barely functional, and life support systems failed across half of the upper decks.

An-Wan Dyas- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Grandmaster An-Wan Dyas called the meeting of the Jedi Council to order.


An-Wan Dyas: "It seems that during the night, our Grandmaster was slain. I investigated Ronen Durdon's quarters and found his final log entry."

Dyas pressed the button on the holographic recording device, and an image of Ronen Durdon appeared.

Ronen Durdon: "In the event of my death, I wish for our highest ranked Master lead the Jedi Order: Master An-Wan Dyas. If it should come to pass that she cannot perform this duty, then the honor will be passed down to..."

Dyas pressed the button again and ended the playback.

An-Wan Dyas: "It is with a heavy heart that I accept the responsibility passed down to me. We have much work to do. Last night was a disaster... we lost Grandmaster Durdon and Knights Brie-ang Gis, Ku-vect Belthon, and Land Jamgii.

The good news is that Kel Dih-mar survived an attack by some assassin, and Zan Finnay survived an assault by an unprecedented three attackers. Well done, Master Finnay! And everyone else who survived the night who has not attained the rank of Master, has now been granted that rank. Congratulations, you've all completed your journey and become masters of the force. Nomi Sunrider would have been proud of you, her students. I will do my best to follow in her footsteps and teach you more about the Force, as she has instructed.

I will be looking over the Jedi Holocron and I will see if I cannot find some clue as to how we should proceed. In the meantime, we must honor the memories of all the fallen Jedi, so today I am asking you to bring me a Sith. We will deal with them as our Grandmasters have instructed us to.


Begin the discussion. May the Force be with us all."
