"I gave you an order!" Roan Fel shouted at Draco who stood still in shock

"Please Emperor Fel, don't make me do this!" Antares Draco pleaded with the man whom he had sworn loyalty to, a man who was now ready to kill who knows how many innocent lives on Coruscant. It was clear to Draco that Emperor Fel had now fallen to the Dark Side; he became so obsessed with destroying the One Sith that he didn't care he was ready to kill trillions of people and not even kill a single Sith who were immune to the Omega Red virus Darth Maladi had developed.

"You swore an oath to me, now release the toxin!" Fel repeated angrily at Draco who shook his head in response

"No Emperor, you have clearly fallen to the Dark Side whether you want to admit it or not, and it's my job to make you come back or end you now!" he replied activating his lightsaber

"How dare you!" Roan Fel activated his lightsaber and charged at the young knight. They began a furious clash against each other, for a few moments the two were equally matched however the rage of Roan Fel added to his strength and soon he sent Draco flying back to the wall with a powerful Force blast. "If you won't do what it takes to end the One Sith, then I will!"

Roan turned to the virus controls and began inputting the sequence to send the virus to Coruscant. Draco groaned, still aching from being slammed into the wall by Fel. He was finding it difficult to maintain consciousness at the moment but he remembered the urgency of the situation, and slowly dragged himself to his feet. Fel continued the sequence to send the virus to Coruscant "There, now Krayt and his Sith will be finished for good" he said with triumph as he launched the canister and watched it fly towards the planet. He was too engrossed in his triumph to sense that Draco had slowly moved towards him and stabbed him in the back.

"I'm sorry, but this had to be done" Draco said somberly as Roan Fel fell to his knees with a shocked gasp.

Draco looked up to see the canister quickly approaching Coruscant, he knew he needed to act soon and prevent its destruction. He stretched out with the Force to try and stop the canister; he was still feeling weak though and could not stop the canister. He felt despair welling up in him as it looked like he would be unable to prevent the planet's destruction; he took a deep breath to calm himself down and think of a way to save the planet. If he couldn't stop the canister, then perhaps he could direct it somewhere else where it could do less damage. The question was where, he knew that even if it didn't hit Coruscant the virus could still hit another planet and wipe out life there. The dilemma tore through him, but in the end he knew Coruscant had to be saved, he reached out with the Force and managed to redirect the canister's path away from Coruscant.

"Now please, fly into a black hole or something" Draco begged before collapsing on the floor

The formation of the Galactic Triumvirate followed the fall of the One Sith and despite some rocky moments like the Darth Wredd incident, the Triumvirate proved itself capable of maintaining order throughout the galaxy. It promised a new era of stability to a galaxy that was badly in need of it. Suddenly though Master K'Kruhk asked to take leave of his position with little explanation as to why simply saying it was something he had to do for the moment, Master Tili Qua was named as his temporary replacement although many questioned why the Whiphid master suddenly left. Master Qua did her best to explain the situation to her fellow Jedi, some tried going about other ways to figure out the truth.

"This whole thing reeks of a cover-up" Tobias Sun told himself as he quietly made his way towards Master K'Kruhk's now vacated chamber "Nobody around, let's see if he left anything important here" Tobias began quietly searching the room for any hints to the Whiphid's destination, finally he found what looked to be a holo-journal that belonged to Master K'Kruhk "Alright, let's see what's really going on"

The following entry is dated several weeks after Darth Wredd's defeat

I should have been happy after Krayt had been killed and the One Sith brought down. I should have been even happier when the Galactic Triumvirate was formed and brought peace and stability to the galaxy. Even after Darth Wredd's defeat though, I find my thoughts are disturbed. In my dreams I see a planet once brimming with life and in the next moment it is empty. Is the Force providing me a vision? I am not sure, I have meditated upon it for hours at a time yet I am no closer to learning the truth of the matter. This is something I feel I cannot ignore, yet I have my duties as one of the three heads of the Triumvirate, the only thing I can do is meditate further and see what happens.

The following entry is approximately a week after the first entry

I believe I have found the meaning of the dream; it is not a vision as I had originally believed but instead the Force is telling me of something that happened earlier. The planet I keep seeing was destroyed by some catastrophic event, and I feel as if is my duty to discover what caused it. Alas the planet had very little distinguishing characteristics about it; I do not know if it is part of the Core Worlds, out in the Unknown Regions, or somewhere in between. I have informed some other jedi about this dream, but nobody seems to know anything about it. No matter, I shall discover what happened to this planet one way or another.

The next day's entry

Another dream, although this time I saw four figures on the planet after its cities were gone, survivors perhaps, or the ones that caused it maybe? The strange thing was that it seemed that one of them noticed me observing them and turned to face me. I could not tell much about this figure except that it looked human, but it observed me for a few moments before tossing something towards me. When I looked to see what it was, it looked like a coin but it had a strange insignia on it that didn't resemble standard Republic currency. Before I could look up to ask the figure what it was, they had gone and with that my dream ended. To my shock the coin was in my hand when I woke up, I was in disbelief and wondered if I was still dreaming, I wasn't and somehow the coin had made its way into my possession. I quickly began searching the archives for planet that used this coin as part of its currency.

"Hmm looks like the next few entries are just him searching for a while, wait a moment this looks promising!"

The search has been long and arduous, while the credit is standard currency throughout the galaxy many current and past civilizations have used alternate currencies at times. It has taken me days but I have done it; I have found a planet that appears to have used to use the same type of coin. It is a small planet called Bastet, out in Wild Space it used to be known as a haven for refugees seeking to escape war although it had fallen into decline recently. I will set out at once to find it, I have already informed Master Qua of my intentions and she has agreed to take my place for the time being.

"So that explains why Master K'Kruhk decided to leave, but why couldn't he have just told us? I mean I'm very sure the Jedi would have supported him if the Force was guiding him, there has to be something more in here" Tobias reasoned as he looked for further entries

I have decided to keep my journey between me and Master Qua, I thought about telling the other members of the Triumvirate but I suddenly felt an overwhelming feeling of dread. I could not explain why I felt it, but it remained with me as long as I thought about telling Gar Stazi and Empress Fel, would they have interfered in some way? I do not know, but for now I shall keep things under wraps until I return from Bastet, then I shall decide whether to tell the others.

"I believe that is the last entry" Master Qua called from outside, Tobias tried his best to suppress the urge to jump out of his skin.

"M-Master Qua, I uh, w-what are you doing here?" Tobias managed out trying hard to remain calm

"I was having trouble sleeping so I decided to take a nice stroll, and then to my surprise I heard the voice of Master K'Kruhk coming from his room so I decided to see what was going on" she answered calmly "What are you doing here?"

"You know, just trying to figure out why Master K'Kruhk decided to leave" Tobias answered truthfully knowing it would be futile to try and lie

"Did you find your answer?"

"Yes Master, but it only raises more questions" Tobias sighed

"That is the nature of things sometimes; we must be patient and wait for the Force to reveal its intentions to us. Now put that journal away and let's leave his room in peace" Master Qua explained calmly, Tobias nodded putting the journal back where he found it and followed Tili out.

Alexias Turin sat alone on a hill overlooking the once green plains of Bastet, all he saw was death and decay all around him but he had grown used to the sight. He was still a teenager and despite the stress still retained a youthful appearance, he had brown hair that he kept short, and was wearing the same set of clothes for the past week. He couldn't remember when the plague that killed millions while simultaneously cutting off the survivors from outside help first appeared, but it spread faster than anyone could have ever predicted. By the time the government reacted it seemed that nearly everyone on Bastet was infected, if there was a silver lining it was that the plagued killed quickly leaving very little time for the victims to suffer. Now there was no government to speak of, any order that remained was created by the various gangs that arose after it was clear nobody could stop them, but even they abided by one rule…don't go outside. Everyone who went outside the cities died after a few steps, so why was he sitting outside like nothing was wrong? For some reason he was immune to the plague, he remembered his friends and family dying around him but somehow he was still fine. Because of this, people feared him and made ridiculous accusations that he had somehow caused the plague, never mind the fact that he was only fifteen at the time but such was the nature of a fearful populace.

"There you are" a voice called out causing Alexias to quickly reach for his sword that he kept near him, it was said to have belonged to an old Sith lord, all he knew was that he stole it from a museum and it was good for killing people. He saw a red haired Human and Nautolan girl accompanied by an Epicanthix boy all around his age causing him to smile and relax his grip "Kat, Nora, Jaster you're back, how'd the city expedition go?"

"The usual, about three seconds in we were ambushed by some gang accusing us of making the plague, and about five seconds later they were dead" Kat replied trying to wipe the blood off of her face

"Wait doesn't ambushed imply we didn't expect their attack?" Nora asked

"Does it matter?" Kat sighed not caring about the semantics

"Did you get any supplies?" Alexias asked remembering that the group had run out of food the day before

"Yeah, but we ate it all on the way back" Jaster said calmly, Alexias froze in place horrified that his friends could do this to him after all they had been through "Ha, I love it when you make that face of yours. Relax we've got plenty of food for now" Jaster said with a smile tossing Alexias a nutrient bar that he finished in seconds

"Hey what's that?" Nora suddenly exclaimed pointing at a sight the four hadn't seen since the plague started "A ship" the other three said with disbelief

"We've saved!" Alexias exclaimed happily

"Ease up there Alexias, we've got some issues to deal with first" Kat said growing serious

"Namely we've got to warn whoever is on that ship to land in the city and not out here, otherwise they're dead" Jaster said knowing what Kat was going to say

"Any ideas on how to send a message to the pilot?" Nora asked worriedly realizing that this might be their only chance of leaving the planet.

"Nora, are you of all people asking that question?" Jaster asked with some disbelief, she didn't seem to get what he was saying though requiring further explanation "Use the Force, that's how we get them to notice us! We can all use it…well except for Kat who's terrible at it"

"Hey I'm not terrible; I just choose to focus more on dueling is all" Kat muttered

Nora and Alexias laughed at the exasperated Jaster, they nodded at each other before they both sent Force Lightning in the air as a signal for the ship. The ship seemed to notice this and flew quickly to the source.

"Whoa, what species is the pilot?" Alexias asked curiously watching the ship begin landing

"I believe they are called Whippids and are known for their ability to survive damn near everything" Kat replied

"So we can let him walk outside?"

"Of course not, he'd die in seconds"

"Then why did we let him land?" Nora asked curiously, Jaster went to the ship and signaled to the pilot to remain in his ship while the other three came closer.

"Are you the four I saw in my dreams?" Nora, Alexias, and Kat were shocked hearing the stranger's voice in their heads "Oh forgive me, I assume there's a reason you didn't want me to leave the ship so telepathy seemed the best way to communicate, besides you used lightning so I assumed you were used to this." Master K'Kruhk explained

"So does that mean you're a Jedi then?" Nora asked hopefully

"Indeed, I am a member of the order although I've taken temporary leave to come help everyone here" he explained "Although why can't I talk with you?" he pointed to Jaster curiously

"He's an Epicanthix they're immune to all the mental Force stuff" Kat thought finding it very strange to communicate telepathically

"That would explain it"

"Wait you said you saw us in your dreams?" Nora asked wondering how that was possible

"Yes I was given a vision of this planet by the Force and I came here after I was given this coin by one of you in my dream" K'Kruhk replied taking out the coin for everyone to look at

"Hey that's my lucky coin, how'd you get it!" Alexias exclaimed after looking at the coin

"You gave it to me" K'Kruhk replied with a smile

"Good job Alexias you saved us" Jaster said giving Alexias a pat on the shoulder

"Wait how did I give that to you?" Alexias replied still unsure of what was going on

"We can figure that out later, now did the Force tell you what happened here?" Kat asked getting back on topic

"It just told me to come here and I saw you four, what happened?" K'Kruhk asked, they quickly explained what the plague had done to the Bastet before explaining why it was important for him to go to the city if he wanted to help them. "So you are all immune then?"

"We are, we're not sure if it's because we can use the Force or something else. It's just safer for you to go to the city rather than risk dying here, although watch out for the gangs I don't know how they'll react to you" Nora answered

"Don't worry young ones; I'm more than capable of defending myself. And I'm sure if they see that I've come to help they'll be willing to work with us" K'Kruhk reassured them before flying towards the city

"Will they actually hear him out?" Kat asked while watching the ship head to the city

"Of course not, if they're willing to attack a bunch of teenagers, they'll more than likely attack a foreigner on sight, especially when he shows them he can use the Force" Jaster replied calmly as they began walking towards the city

"Then why did you let us tell him to go to the city?" Alexias asked

"How else are we going to leave this dead rock if we can't get in his ship, I mean unless one of you knows how to pilot whatever he was flying in?"

"I get it, the gangs attack him and he realizes that we're the only ones that can be saved and then he takes us off this hellhole" Kat said figuring out the plan

"That's horrible!" Nora exclaimed, she looked at Jaster and Kat wondering how they could both be calm about this plan, neither of them seemed to care

"Hey they're the ones who tried to kill us, they don't deserve our sympathy it's better if they all die here anyway" Alexias replied angrily shocking Nora as they entered the city

"Don't worry Nora, none of us will have to kill anyone here anymore." Jaster said with a smile as he heard blaster shots a few blocks away "We'll leave that to the Jedi"
