"Alright sons, are you ready?" The father asked with a stern face. "You have to take this seriously if you want to make it to the end of the program. Look after each other, I will not be there to help you. You got it?"
Derixus, the youngest one of twenty-two years old, looked toward his brother, Adanson. Derixus, even though he was younger, was much bigger and physical than his brother who was three years older. He was more brash, and excelled in lightsaber and hand-to-hand combat. Adanson was much smaller, mass wise. Not a lot of muscle but still in shape. He liked to practice using the force, he was more smarter and analytical. Unlike his younger brother, he thought out every move he made before he would do it. Derixus would rather rush into the fray and rely on his skills, which he was very confident of.
"Im ready. Are you?" Derixus stuck out his hand towards his brother.
"Hell yes." Adanson exclaimed, extending his hand to grasp Derixus'.
The pilot turned on the intercom. "Sir, we are arriving at Korriban."
The father put one hand on each of the boys' shoulder. "Sons, the Sith Academy awaits you. I know you will make me proud. Become very powerful, more powerful than myself or anyone else. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Do what you need to do. Derixus, try not to get into trouble. I mean it."
Derixus smirked, "You know me, Ill be fine."
"I do know you, and that is why I'm telling you." The father chuckled back. "Ok, get a move on or you will be late."
The boys exited the craft and came to the entrance of the academy. They saw vendors and merchants on the outskirts of the building. Other young hopefuls were running about buying the items they needed. The two were walking towards the entrance when they were stopped by a group of hopefuls.
"Look at this guys, new recruits." The group laughed to themselves. "I am Korna and these are my friends. Exactly seven people are allowed in the academy for training, and by the looks of it, my group is perfect and on our way towards acceptance."
"Funny, I figured the guy who is leading a group into the academy would be more intimidating. I guess I was wrong." Derixus quickly replied.
"We're not looking for trouble, we have not even checked in to receive the itinerary yet. How about you threaten us later when we're settled in?" Adanson said calmly.
"We will see you soon. Very soon." Korna menecingly smiled.
The group walked away and the brothers walked up to the check in desk.
"Adanson and Derixus checking in." Adanson handed over their credentials.
The Sith Officer glanced at the credentials and his eyes grew wide. "We were expecting you. A lot of pressure for the sons of a Sith Lord, yes? Well, do not expect special treatment. You will still have to earn your spot into the academy. Here are two student uniforms. Put them on. Now here is the agenda, you must impress one of the Sith Teachers or a student who is already in the academy. If you succeed, they will give you a medallion which grants you entry into the main academy. You NEED a medallion, get one by any means necessary. Once you each get one, return to me and we will proceed."
The boys nodded and headed to the dressing room. "I can't believe we have to wear this, it's itchy and uncomfortable. I can't wait to get into the academy and get a robe instead." Derixus whispered while scratching at his grey button up uniform. He put on his grey with black side striped pants and tied his shoes.
"Stop whining about it. The sooner we get the medallions the sooner it is over." Adanson snapped.
They heard the door behind them close, and then lock.
"I told you we would see you soon." The boys turned around to see Korna and his right hand man standing in front of the door.
Derixus clenched his fists. "I've been waiting for some action. I assume we aren't going to talk this through?"
Korna laughed, "Not this time kid, not this time." He and his friend both got into fighting stances. "We are both fallen Jedi. We have been trained in the ways of the force. Unfortunately, the Jedi Masters saw too much anger in us and expelled us from further jedi training. They were right."
"I got the big guy, Korna, while you take on the other one." Derixus said to Adanson.
Adanson sighed, "Once we get started, there will not be any stopping. This is your first and final warning."
"I didn't plan on stopping until you're dead and we're in the academy." Korna said while walking towards Derixus.
Without skipping a beat, Derixus lunged toward Korna and tackled him to the ground. He got on top of Korna and started punching his face repeatedly. Korna grabbed an incoming fist and pulled it to the ground, reversing positions.
Adanson looked at the scuffle, then glanced at his opponent. "You think you are the only ones with training in the force?" Adanson's pupils dilated until all of the sclera was black. He raised his hand and his opponents body raised into the air. With a quick and powerful motion, the levitating body was thrown across the room. Adanson stood over the body. He noticed a medallion falling out of the other students uniform. "I think I will take this from you," Adanson whispered. With his hand still raised and tensing his opponents body, he turned his hand in a swift motion, snapping the neck of the other hopeful.
Korna looked in horror as his friends body lay their lifeless. "You are dead!" He reached into his belt and grabbed the hilt of his crudely made lightsaber. He activated it to release a dark and dull crimson color. Korna raised the saber above his head and slashed down towards Adanson as hard as he could. The lightsaber was not in his hands anymore, but it was still in the air right before he brought his hands down. He looked in disbelief towards Derixus, who's hand was up and was controlling the lightsaber. Derixus levitated the weapon to his hand.
"It really didn't have to end this way." Derixus slowly walked towards Korna, who was on his knees in defeat.
"Please, you don't have to do this. I am sorry! I am so sorry! Please show mercy!" Korna pleaded for his life.
"Ha! Mercy? You're right. I will show you mercy…with a quick and painless death." Derixus swiftly brought the lightsaber from his right side, upward toward Korna's neck, and followed through to his left side. As Korna's head hit the floor, Derixus withdrew the lightsaber.
Adanson showed his brother the medallion he picked up from the other hopeful, hinting towards Korna's medallion in his uniform. With both having medallions, they exited the dressing room and walked up to the Sith Officer that checked them in. They lay the medallions on the desk to the Officers surprise.
"What's next?" Adanson casually addressed.
The Officer smiled. "Follow me to your quarters. Welcome to the Sith Academy."
