Chapter 7
The ride on the ship was mostly quiet as both Tyrannus and Kento were anxious about meeting this man. Kento wondered if he would even survive the meeting, He wondered why this meeting was arranged. As Kento had learned while he was reading in the library Korriban was a Sith controlled world that fell into several wars that caused the planet to be completely abandoned. Some say you can feel the hateful force from the wars that happened years before.
As they landed they found them selves in an old building. Tyrannus noted. "This should keep us covered from any explorers." Kento nodded and began walking about two miles out. "This place is very creepy, its hard to think this was such a battleground." Tyrannus agreed. "This planet was worth fighting for as the Sith draw power from places of such hate." Kento took note and moved on.
Eventually Tyrannus said "We have arrived on time." They were standing in a very empty area with a few broken buildings next to them and a road connecting them. All of a sudden a raspy voice spoke up loud and clear. "Count, please give the man your light saber." Tyrannus spoke to Kento as he handed over his light saber. "Refer to me here as Count Dooku." "Yes my lord."
Kento had taken the Light saber and was able to turn it on. The voice spoke up once more. "Step away from him Count." Dooku took a good 20 steps back. Kento was worried for his life. He gripped the Light saber close to him. "Use your fear and embrace the hate, let it guide you in your fight." The raspy voice ordered. "Fight? "
Just as Kento had let that word escape his mouth he heard an old man yell "raaaaaa" As he was attacked by a hooded old man in an overhead strike. Kento by instinct used the saber to block the strike. Kento used a horizontal strike but was avoided as the old man jumped to his side and struck only to meet the defense of Kento's blade. The man spoke as the light saber pushed against one another.
"Use your hatred and let the force guide you to strike me down!" Kento just then got over his fear and started getting angry. He didn't know why but on this old planet it felt good to be angry, a surge of power rushed through him and he got in about 5 solid strikes before the lights sabers locked together again. "Your skill is apparent; Do not let your arrogance BLIND YOU." Kento felt a jolt of electricity shock him and he was on the ground in pain.
All he seen was purple light coming from the hooded man's fingers electrocuting him. "AHHHHHHHHH" The pain was excruciating and he couldn't stand and felt near death. Just as he began slipping away he had seen the armored version of himself walk towards him and soon INTO HIM! Something inside him died, all remorse died. This power is something he hadn't experienced before. Count Dooku watched in terror as he stood up smiling with electricity shocking him constantly.
Kento lost all sense of himself and his pain and took one step after the other towards the hooded man. Kento ignited his light saber and locked his with the hooded man's. The man gave surprise and was about to break off for a strike but Kento gripped his throat with his hand and caused the man to extinguish his saber as Kento started lifting him off his feet and throwing him as hard as he could into a nearby abandoned building. The man used all of his Sith power to keep himself alive. Kento's power rush at that point ended and he collapsed face first into the ground unconscious.
Count Dooku and the hooded man (sidious) stood over his collapsed body. "He is strong with hatred that he doesn't tap into often." Count dooku agreed. "Yes but how are we to hone his skill to the new order's benefit?" Sidious pondered for a moment. "He needs a companion to lose, someone to love and someone to hate." Count Dooku thought of someone. "What about Kenobi, He is a threat and erasing him so we can get to Anakin may work to our benefit." Sidious decided Count Dooku's idea was valid. "Very well. It shall be done."
They then slowly dragged an unconscious Kento onto a ship and made a course to Coruscant. "We will prevail and our new empire will be complete." The ship then took off, and our adventure begins.
