A Shift Of Normalcy:
Chapter Seven:
*One complete Coruscant cycle..
Jedi master Luminara pressed forward, alone and by herself. The moon of Alaris Prime was a warm and lush one, the surface being mostly covered in forest and ocean. The force willed her deeper into the forest, farther away from her troops, leaving them at the neck of the battle, but this was for good reason. She felt something, a presence of some sort, one dark and filled with a considerable amount of hatred. Yes, deep hatred, it was painful to feel so much hatred emanating from one being. It was a force sensitive being at that and by the way it hadn't masked it's force signature purposely sending it out in signals, Luminara was willing to bet that this being was luring her. It Despite her caution, she pressed forward, curious as to what this being had been doing or rather what it was doing on this moon. She understood that this was a moon under separatists jurisdiction, and the only reason the republic was here was in an attempt to destroy the more than overly active droid factory and also to protect relations with Kashyyyk.
The forest became darker as the Wroyshr trees seemed to increase in height, abundance and the amount of leaves that decorated a each tree, this successfully block the sliver of fiery light that had been emitted from the star at the middle of the solar system. She became more cautious as she felt the dark presence coming closer, evenly she felt a chill trickle down her spine. She had to remain mindful, and cautious, her investigation of this being was something she chose to do on her own accord without knowing exactly what the she was going up against. Although she had total faith in her abilities, Luminara vowed not to underestimate whatever was the source of this signature that, would most likely be hostile. A figure approached her from behind, Luminara turned around grabbing at the hilt of her lightsaber.
"Master Luminara, my master's prediction had been correct. -not that I doubted it- You came, and not only that you actually sensed my being, I'm genuinely impressed.", it was a feminine voice she noted, as her eyes locked onto the hooded figure, clad in all black. The being's hood stayed neatly on the it's head, concealing any physical features. She concluded that this being was a girl, one who stood maybe an inch below that of her own height.
"A Sith? I see, so, you've lured me here.",
"Yes, was it that hard to figure out?", her voice was dark filled with venom and sarcastic. It's voice sent a strange sensation down her spine, it was almost familiar.. Something was almost familiar, the force was trying to tell her something. "I'm here to kill you Jedi! Your death will be a great achievement towards my belt of feats. You Jedi are parasites to this galaxy, and I am the humble medicine that'll cure the infectious disease that you cause.",
She was obviously delusional.
The sith summoned her hilt to her hand, igniting the crimson blade pointing it towards Luminara, who responded by activating her own green lightsaber. Luminara took the offensive, her blade slashing at the sith. Her opponent retaliated by blocking all of her attacks. Before she swooped down and attempted to trip the Jedi master of her balance. The Jedi jumped, avoiding her leg.
Luminara landed feet away as she anticipated the sith's next attack. The sith rushed at her, her red blade slashing at her with force. Red and green colliding in a fast and an elegant motion, the two moving at inhume speeds as they exchanged blows with their sabers. It was almost as if they were dancing, each movement almost corresponding with the other's. The two lightsabers seemed to be the only source of light in the thick brush covered forest. This sith was powerful, both powerful and fast, her skills were notable and alarming. The sith's attacks became much more aggressive as she swung down at the master with strength that force the elder woman into a defensive position.
She jumped backwards, choosing to use her flexibility and evasion skills opposed to blocking any more of the aggressive bombardment.

She avoided a considerable sum of slashes from the sith before sending a force push into the girl. The girl was pushed back landing into a tree feet away. Luminara charged at the girl, who was quick to recover and also charge, they met in the middle of the clearing, lightsabers intertwining as they fought in an almost tug of war action in an attempt to be victorious over the other. Both glared at each other, she could slightly see ember orange sith eyes glaring at Luminara with hate.
"Your use of Form III is very impressive master Jedi, and your evasion skills are among the best. However, you must realize that you are no match.", Luminara suddenly felt a shift in pressure, as the female Sith Lady seemed to have gained the upper hand. Luminara attempted to back away from the girl as she felt herself weakening. This was in vain she found a hot red blade piercing her abdomen. She grunted in pain as she dropped her weapon allowing it to fall to the mossy floor. The sith retracted the blade as Luminara backed away, agony shooting through all her nerves.
"Do not cry Master Luminara, it is most honorable to become one with the force.", she explained playfully.
"What would a sith know about honor?", she asked, through a pained expression.
"Nothing.", her evil sith eyes rolled, at this nonchalantly. "But I could ask you the same question.",
She fell to her knees almost bowing, the distinctive buzzing of the sith's red lightsaber burning through the quiet forest. This was bad, she knew this all to well, she had been defeated.
Suddenly the younger being made an unusual movement with her free hand, as the hand went towards her hood, before gently tugging at the hood and removing it. The hood fell behind the Sith lady's black attire.
In that instant the Jedi master had forgotten about her wound, and the current life threatening situation. No pain...All she could do was stare in shock and awe, mere confusion clouded the master's mind. Was this real?
"Ah-Ahsoka?", she inquired almost painfully. The girls familiar features made the woman's heart skip a beat, she had not expected this being to be the former Padawan of Anakin Skywalker. She had actually matched the master in a duel and had successfully wounded her. But it was clear what was happening, unbelievable but definitely happening. "You're a sith, you turned to the darkside?",
She waited for an answer, Ahsoka- no, this sith just stared, a small smirk on her features tan features. She shrugged.
"That name means nothing to me, Refer to me as Darth Venohka or Lady Venohka.",
"But why, what is the meaning of this? How could you? You left on your own accord!", she shouted this. Feeling a tinge of betrayal, and a tad bit saddened. It was Hefty to swallow, critical even. Ahsoka had fallen. She felt crestfallen, despite her Jedi beliefs. She had consider her a respectable individual, one she had even owed her life to. But now, all she felt from her was anger and hatred.
Venohka remained quiet for a moment, before finally speaking.
"There's nothing more to be said, it's a simple concept to grasp, I hate the Jedi, simple. Now, good-bye master Luminara!", she had no time to react, non at all as the girl forced a red blade across the Jedi's neck, she didn't even realize what was happening until it was too late. What was left, was darkness... Nothing..
Venohka admired her handy work. The Jedi below her was dead, there was no doubt about it, she had been decapitated. A Jedi master no less, the Sith Lady's trues skills and true powers were showing and this would do much to please her master. She summoned the woman's lightsaber to her free hand, examining it before placing it on her belt. The girl placed her hood back on her head, covering her identity, before she returned to the battlefield, decimating the remainder of the clone army successfully sending the republic running with their asses in their hands. Yes, she controlled the separatists army, she had every single droid in the palm of her hands. She had power, she had gained power, obtained true and real power. None of this could have been achieved in that petty ass Jedi order, it was as simple as they. The Jedi were weak, and quite frankly tended to poison the Galaxy with their hypocrisy. The guardians of the peace. Ha! That was rich. Sarcasm at it's finest.
She stared out upon the thousands of droids, it was ironic and pretty hilarious. Little under a year ago she was ripping these little bastards to scrap parts, now she had total and utter control, only second to no one except her master. She stood, identity concealed, as she stared upon the her troops. A new era was beginning, a new era of the Sith. She was sure of it, hell she would make sure of it.
The council had been silent, the news was startling to say the least. It was believed that the death of Count Dooku should have spiraled a sum of circumstances that would have ultimately lead to the end of the war and a Republic victory. However, it would seem that there was a new sith. Obi-wan found it to be simply tragic.
"Disturbing this is.", the Jedi grand master, Yoda began."A tragedy it is, lost one of our own, we have.", The council had been summoned at the first sliver of news of Count Dooku's replacement and the death of Jedi Master Luminara.
"This Sith must be killed if peace and order is to be restored.", A blue hologram of Master Windu spoke, his usual absolute nature ever so present.
"Both Sith must be destroyed or else it'll just be a repeat of this new apprentice.", Obi-wan commented, giving his input. "Albeit, it is easier said than done.",
"Clouded is the force, unsure whom these sith, we are.",
Master Windu nodded "What are our next actions, then?",
The council remained quiet, it was pretty obvious of what they had to do, the only hard part was actually doing. This was because of the simple fact that they were unsure of where to start.
"Meditate we shall, closure the force will give.",
*Whao, I killed Luminara before order 66 crazy, just like how I killed Count Dooku before the events of TROS. Don't be discouraged by this, this all plays in for the plot I am trying to develop and piece together as we go alone, so hopefully this should be an epic ride.
*Do review and state any flaws or likes. Thank-You.
