A ship emerged from hyperspace above the planet Malastare. The ship was a small silver vessel armed with two laser turrets, one near the view port and one near the port of the ship. Inside was a small crew of nine people. A man walked over to the pilot and had a cloak hunched over his shoulders. He had a small brown beard and stood with his arms hidden by the cloak as he looked at the pilot.
"That's the planet." Said the cloaked man.
The pilot slowly shifted to the man. He raised one eyebrow before asking," Sir, how do you plan on bringing him in?"
The cloaked man remained silent for a moment as he stroked his small beard and gazed out the view port.
"That's simple. I will ask him to surrender." He replied calmly.
The pilot rolled his eyes and commented under his breathe,"Jedi."
Upon landing in the planets desert landing port, three guards walked over to the Jedi's vessel to greet him with blaster pistols.
The Jedi walked out of the ship with most of his body being covered by the cloak that he wore.
The three guards pointed the pistols at him.
"That's a republic ship. State your business." Asked the guard.
The Jedi gave a brief smile before saying," I'm here on behalf of the Jedi council. We have heard that a rogue Jedi is seeking refuge in this system. I'm here to bring him back to the council on Corusaunt to stand trial."
The three guards lowered their weapons and looked at each other with wide eyes. They began to talk amongst each other.
"He's a Jedi?" One of the men said with wide eyes.
Another man squinted his eyes and put his hands up in a questioning motion before asking, "Should we let him pass?"
The last man shook his head, "I'm not going to face a Jedi."
The Jedi smiled and proceeded to walk towards the building that the landing zone lead to.
After gaining entrance to the building, a young girl walked over to him.
"Are you here for the races mister?" She asked.
The Jedi tried to get a good look at her. He noticed that she had dirt smudged on her face. She wore brown rags that were filthy and smelled of must and bodily fluids. Her blonde hair was messy as if she had just woken up.
"No. I'm here looking for a man named Deri Drezuk. Do you know him?" He said softly hoping to connect to her.
She looked at him and gave him a dimpled smile before replying in a cheerful way, "Yes. I've heard of him. His quarters are this way mister."
She grabbed the Jedi's hand and lead him through the metallic building until they both stood in front of a metal door. The Jedi squinted at the door, feeling the cold hard feel of the dark side emanating from the door.
"He's in there." He turned to the girl, "I want you to go."
The girl squinted her eyes at the Jedi before letting his hand go. "Why?"
The Jedi opened the door and walked into the room. Standing before him was a tall man with wrinkles on his face. His eyes were yellow and he wore black robes.
The Jedi closed the door behind him before igniting his lightsaber.
"Deri Drezuk." Said the jedi as his yellow lightsaber hummed.
Deri smirked at the thought of facing another Jedi. "Greg Tezzu. I see the Jedi counsel has sent you to do their dirty work for them."
Greg walks towards him, "By order of the Jedi counsel, you are under arrest for treason and murder. You have also joined the Sith and must atone for your crimes. Come peacefully and you won't be hurt."
Deri laughs and ignites his red lightsaber. "Don't make me laugh. I'm going to show you the power of the Sith."
Deri lunges his lightsaber at Greg but he blocks it and force pushes Deri which makes him fly back and hit the wall.
"So be it." Says Greg.
Deri holds his hand out as lightening shoots from it. Greg blocks it with his lightsaber as he walks towards Deri.
"You can't win!" Yells Greg.
Deri stops and swings his saber downward diagonally but Greg blocks it with ease. The two men start to focus on lightsaber combat as Deri forcing Greg into the door.
He swings his lightsaber, hoping to cut Greg in half but fails as Greg ducks and force pushes Deri once more. The two men stare at each other for a moment. Neither man showing a hint of weakness. Both men's eyes stuck in a piercing gaze.
Deri begins to scowl with his thoughts and anger controlling him.
"I wont die here. This is your grave, Jedi!"
Greg looks at him, pitying the man that stands before him.
"I'm sorry its come to this, my friend." He said in a low tone.
Deri swung his saber wildly, hitting several objects including walls and lights. Greg blocked them as best he could before Deri began to force choke him. Greg's lightsaber falls to the ground.
"The dark side is all that matters. The power I have, you will never understand it."
Greg tries desperately to catch his breath.
Deri walks over to him and holds his lightsaber to his neck.
"Now you will die, my friend."
Suddenly, Deri's lightsaber flew out of his hands and into the hands of the blonde girl.
Deri looked at her in awe.
Seeing an opening, Greg force pulled his lightsaber to his hand and impaled Deri through the back with it. Deri looked at the yellow glow that had pierced his torso and turned to Greg, after letting him out of the force choke, and said to him, "You...betrayed me..."
He fell to the ground before Greg held him in his arms and deactivated the lightsaber.
"I'm sorry. You left me no choice."
Greg closed Deri's eyes and allowed a tear to flow down to his cheeks before he wiped it away.
The girl stood there, gazing at the Jedi. Greg stood up and smiled at her.
"It appears as if you have some connection to the force. If you come with me back to the Jedi Temple, I can have you trained in the ways of the force. You will become a Jedi."
She didn't hesitate to nod her head and cling on to the Jedi's hand.
