The Never Ending Rain

Part Two: A New Purpose

Immolation

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The beast roared with a primal furry as it charged at Dev. Dev felt the force flew though him and jumped. He soared through the air and landed on the creature's back forcing it's face into the ground, before leaping off and land with a small tap. I don't know what Obi-Wan was talking about Dev thought while the creature was picking itself off the ground. This thing seems stupider than a normal dreadguard. Just then the beast raised it hands and conjured a ball of red energy.

"oh shi-" was all Dev had a chance to say before the creature hurled the sphere at him. He leaped of a. he small bridge and began to fall toward the river of lava. He slammed his fist into a button on his belt which caused a thick cable to fire out. It latched itself to an out sticking rock and saved Dev from a lava bath. He was relieved until he saw what the creature was doing. With another roar(god doesn't this thing get tired of screaming) it hurled it's huge ax at Dev. Dev reached out into the force and pushed as hard as he could, but could only move the ax enough so it couldn't hit him. As it flew beneath him he grabbed it's huge handle in an attempt to stop it. Unfortunately the ax would have none of it. It yanked him so hard that the cable that was suspending him broke, and pulled him with it. It slammed into wall and stuck there with Dev holding on for dear life. The beast amused with the spectacle laughed before extending his hand. Dev felt a vibration in the ax before it was yanked from the wall and sped toward it's master's hand...with Dev unwilling to let go. Just before the ax reached the beasts hand Dev made an attempt to slice the ax with his saber, but to no avail. It simply just sat on the handle and crackled, producing sparks. He then met eyes with an evilly smiling dreadguard, and realized that he was still on the ax. The creature wasted no time in swinging the ax violently in an attempt to shake Dev off. Unfortunately for Dev the attempt was successful. He was flung back into the the round sub-chamber he and Obi-Wan had crossed earlier.

"Ok no more mister nice jedi" Dev said picking himself up and activating his saber.

"Oh come now puny jedi" "your master couldn't even kill me, what do expect to do?"

"THIS!" Dev spat as he extended both his hands, with a stream of electricity erupting from them. The creature merely extended one hand and began to push the energy back toward Dev. This made Dev push and push until he could no longer amplify his power,or for that matter protect himself. The lightning engulfed him burning his body. He screamed in pain and in his mind begged the torrent to stop. When it finally did Dev could barely stand, his armor smoldering, and vision blurring.

"Give up puny jedi!", "you will never be able do defeat me!"

Dev raised his saber and whispered"don't count on it"

Obi-Wan watched the red giant raise the staff preparing to launch his attack. They were in a large room with stone walls. In the center of the room was the circle of wisdom, an area with stone statues with ancient carvings on them. Trigon pointed the staff at Obi-Wan and fired a beam of red energy from it. It was so fast Obi-Wan was barely able to dodge it. The beam hit one of the many statues in the room and caused it to explode into millions of shards of molten rock.

"Let's not do this Kenobi" Trigon said smugly to the jedi. "We both know that you can't defeat me"

"You villains and your egos" Obi-Wan muttered before lunging at Trigon.

Dev flew at the beast saber ready to deliver a killing blow, but he wasn't fast enough. Despite it's size the beast could match Dev's sped, and as the battle went on he realized it could exceed it. Which led Dev to a dilemma. How do you fight something that is faster and stronger than you? By outsmarting it of course! However, although Dev had a genius level intelligence, he was not used to fighting such a smart opponent, mostly because 95 percent of the dark army consisted of mindless drones. He charged at the beast again raising his saber in the air, to slice him directly down the middle. The beast simply laughed and blocked the strike with his ax. Then before Dev had a chance to react, he forced his ax sideways to remove Dev's defenses. Less than a second later small bolts of electricity were coursing through the creature's hand, as he hit Dev right in the jaw. He was thrown back into a large statue which collapsed shortly after impact, totally burying him. Dev dug himself out of the ruble, his face burned from the lightning, blood dripping from his mouth and several other places, knew there was only one way to defeat him...

Obi-Wan knew his apprentice was in trouble. However, he had problems of his own. The once beautiful chamber now lay in ruin, completely and utterly destroyed. Obi-Wan knew his stamina couldn't last much longer, as the demon had almost completely depleted his reserves. Minutes ago a foolish squad of clone troopers had entered the room in the hopes of aid their general. Trigon however, would have none of it. Just when they were about to open fire he fired the staff at them. All of them let out an ear shattering scream, before an explosion engulfed them. But they were not gone, rather converted into flaming versions of the standard dark army drone. With heavy heart Obi-Wan cut them down depleting even more of his precious stamina. Finally he realized there was only one way to defeat this monster...to destroy himself. He remembered an ancient jedi power that his master had taught him. It was a combination of the force and magic, and was lethal to its caster. He knew what he had to do. Just as he was about to emerge from his cover he sensed something in the force. Something very dark. He also felt his apprentice's life force fading, and realized what was happening.

"He's going to use the rage..."

Dev knew there was only one chance to win, and it was very risky. He was going to use one of his most powerful force powers. The dark rage. He was about to begin when he heard Obi-Wan's voice echoing through his head.

"No padawan, don't take the risk!", he cried "the stakes are too high!"

"Don't give me that" Dev said, "I knew exactly what your planning to do", "you are going to use the force arrow of Azar aren't you?" Dev said. He knew all about how deadly the technique was, and that his chances of survival were much better than Obi-Wan's.

"Padawan I thi-"

"NO!" Dev cut him off sharply. "We have a duty to do whatever is necessary to defeat Trigon and his army!","We have a duty to protect all the people he will try to hurt with his power", "We have a duty to avenge all the people that he has hurt!" Dev cried in anger

"Your anger is clouding your judgment!" Obi-Wan shot back

"No... I will do my duty with or without your approval master", "I'm sorry" Dev said before cutting the mental link. Obi-Wan couldn't help but feel pride to see his apprentice like this.

"He's grown up, whether I want to admit it or not.", Obi-Wan thought to himself. "He's right, we must do our duty". With that Dev and Obi-Wan prepared themselves to look death in the face...once again.(I should really stop here but I'm on the edge of my seat!)

Dev began his attack. He was surprised the beast had allowed him so much time to prepare himself. But it did not matter, because this beast, and it's master were going to die today. He focused his anger. The millions killed, all the fighting he had to do, all the betrayals he had to deal with, all the people he failed to protect..Arella...and of course Siri. He focused it till he could tolerate the burning inside him no longer, and drowned his soul in the force. Red energy began to flow throughout his body; the more his anger grew the more the energy intensified. The ground beneath him began to crack and shake, while his muscles began to grow and grow. It was the most painful thing he'd ever felt in his life, but it felt so good. He felt so alive even though it was killing him from the inside out. And he attacked unleashing all of his terrible rage on the beast. Within seconds the beast's left arm was severed; it howled in pain, squeezing its ax so tight that it snapped, the splinters causing dark blood to flow freely. Then went it's right leg. It stared up in the emotionless bloodthirsty eyes.

Dev felt his stamina reaching its end, so he raised his hand lifting the beast of the ground, and walked into the other chamber, the beast suspended in air, and whispered "I'll see you in hell shit face", before drowning it in the molten rock bellow. He finally let go of his anger his body traumatized from the strain of the attack, and fell to his knees. He knew he could not help Obi-Wan now, and fell into unconsciousness.

The giant red demon leveled the staff at the jedi and said "well now you meet your end jedi..." and fired.

"My final attack..." Obi-Wan thought. "well here goes everything" he said extending his hands and chanting the demon's mantra "Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!" he screamed. The staff erupted with energy that slammed into the jedi's hands before being absorbed."NOW FEEL THIS! FORCE ARROW OF AZAR!", Obi-Wan yelled, before releasing the energy back towards Trigon.

"WHAT! NOOOOOO!" the demon yelled as collided with him obliterating his body. "I swear this to you jedi!","I will return and next time you won't be so lucky!" before his body disappeared.

"Heh I-I don't think so" Obi-Wan said sticking his saber into the staff. The staff and the saber both exploded into a brilliant flash of light which threw Obi-Wan back. He smiled before he fell into unconsciousness.

Dev tried to pick himself off the stone floor but he only caused more pain to flow through his body. He had felt the demon's presence fade but he had to see it for himself. He also had to see what became of his master. Just as he was about to get to the door the beast emerged from the lava.

"fool as long as my master still lives this amulet keeps me alive" it laughed

"Well isn't it my lucky day then, you see your master was defeated as of 2 minutes ago"

"YOUR LYING!"

"Believe it!" he said reaching out into the force with what little energy he had left. His saber activated and flew from his belt to the beast's chest.

"AHHHHGGGG!" it screamed in pain as it fell back into the lava.

"good riddance" Dev said spitting on the beast

"I will leave you with a parting gift jedi!" it said grabbing Dev's leg pulling him toward the river of magma.

"NO!" Dev struggled but it was no use. His body erupted into flames. He burned screaming for help begging someone to end the pain as the fire burned through his tattered armor and began to roast him alive. His beautiful black hair caught fire, burning a brilliant orange. His skin began to turn to ash along with most of his face. Even in this hell he was still curious. He wondered if Siri felt this way before dying. The only thing he learned is that your life really does flash before your eyes, as he saw many things painful and comforting. Nothing was comforting enough to stop the pain. The last thing he saw was a squad of clone troopers with a fire extinguisher.
