On the ship carrying Yoda and Jin Wan, a group of remaining guards are
looking through the Sith vessel, as they look under consoles and hidden
areas of the small transport they all shrug at the sight of finding
nothing. They all step off of the front platform that leads back into the
landing bay and head off down the corridor. Just as they all vanish down
the way, inside the Sith vessel, a part of the black metal floor begins to
slowly pop up and a pair of black gloved hands push it aside as the figure
pops out of the hidden compartment. The black robed individual rises out
of the hole and walks down the ramp. Looking from side to side, he can see
that no one is around, the debris still laying as it is and now the dead
bodies now gone from their resting places. The cloaked figure raises his
head and shows his human eyes, a pale white color with only small dark
pupils that give him the forbidding gaze of evil. A simple smirk on his
lightly Caucasian face gives him an air of satisfaction, with no one around
to stop him, or realize of his presence, he now walks calmly down thought
the landing bay and out into the ships corridors.
Sitting inside a room on the ship that now slowly staggers through the stars, Jin Wan looks at Yoda and tries to calm his worries. The room, a rather stately designed place, full of comfortable furnishings and a few large windows to look out at the stars with, are the norm for such cruising vessels as these. Mainly used as Ambassadorial transports, the luxury alone shows how first class all the important members of the Senate travel. Jin Wan is fortunate to have had a friend that acquired such a vessel; he's used it a few times during his years and seems to enjoy the comfortable surroundings from time to time. Still, his young apprentice seems a bit un-nerved about the entire situation and not use to seeing such unspeakable violence before.
"Calm yourself Padwan...take some rest now and ease your thoughts." Jin Wan says to him stroking his head like a protective father.
"Trying I am, Master. But images of the attack...haunt me still. What creatures where those?"
Jin Wan leans back in his plush white, half seated chair and folds his hands together.
"Sith, those where the Sith. They are a dangerous order that are bent on destroying the Jedi my young one. A dark order that believes that only the Darkside of the force is the way of things. Never stray to their side Yoda...for once you lead yourself down that path, it will forever dominate your destiny."
The small green creature nods understandably, a quick draw of breath and few blinks from his eyes, soon shows his weariness from the fight.
"Remember those words, I do. Master Dalarkin told me he did, part of my training it was. Always remember, said he... Fear is the path to the Darkside. Fear leads to hate, hate leads to anger, anger will bring suffering."
Jin Wan nods at those words that he too has sworn to live by.
"And never forget them my young Padwan. Draw strength through the force and never let fear take you, the Sith will always try to lure you to their side should you feel any of those emotions."
"Hard it is, to control them at times." Yoda grins.
"Indeed they are." Jin smiles back.
Raising to his feet and walking towards the door of the room, the Jedi master looks back at his sleepy eyed young trainee and waves his hand in the air. The motion seems to lower the lights in the room and now it becomes almost pitch black.
"Rest now...I'll see how far we can go before we must connect our flight."
"Goodnight Master." Yoda yawns as he beds down.
"Goodnight young one...sleep well."
The Jedi leaves the room as the doors slide open and close behind him. In the hall, almost gleaming a white hue and lights all over the walls and ceiling, the robed instructor walks down through the passages as he heads for the main bridge center. As he continues down the way, a black robed head peers out from one of the adjacent hallways, the Sith looks down both ways of the corridor and sees that the way is clear for him. Moving cautiously, and turning to look back behind himself from time to time, the dark lord slinks his way towards Yoda's chambers. As he feels the door with his black-gloved hand, he closes his eyes and mutters something quite as if casting a spell. Beside the door, a dual light shows two words, Locked and Open, the green light soon switches from the locked indicator to the other. As he hears the click, he removes his hand and lets the door open. Slowly he enters the room, he notices how dark it is and moves his eyes about everywhere. Nothing is visible to him, the light from the window from all the stars and reflection of the ship's hull, casts a warm glow on the furnishing. As the doors shut behind him, he continues to move inward and gazes about the room.
"I can feel you in here small one." the Sith's low voice announces. "I can sense your presence...and your fear."
Yoda, no longer lying where he was before, now hides somewhere in the dark of the room.
"But then, you too could feel me as well...couldn't you. Yes...I felt your mind touch mine, there was fear in its wake...and now you hide from me like a scared animal."
A voice comes out of the darkness, not knowing from which direction it is coming from, the young creature answers him.
"Scared I am not. But to let you take me I will not allow either."
The dark cloaked figure laughs slightly.
"Come, come small one. Do not be afraid...I am not here to harm you. You have been chosen to join my master to become his new pupil. He will show you the full potential of the Force you weld. Show yourself to me..."
"No!" Yoda says defiantly. "Jedi I will become, a Knight of the Republic I am to be. Go away, and never return."
The Sith becomes frustrated at the young Padwan's stubbornness and now searches the room more angrily.
"Stop this foolishness, boy! Become who you were destined to be! The Darkside awaits you and you know it...give in...give in and come with me!"
"Never..." Yoda says softly.
Jumping out of his hiding spot he confronts the Sith and raises his hand out to him.
"NEVER!" he screams.
The dark lord's eyes grow wide with surprise, as he becomes airborne from Yoda's use of the Force, driving him into the doors and smashing right through them as if they were made out of paper. The trauma makes the dark cloaked individual pass out for a second as he lies there on the ground. As Jin Wan is about to enter an elevator tube, he suddenly can sense the presence of the Sith and of his Padwan in danger.
"Yoda!" He screams out.
Quickly turning and running down the hall, musters all of his Jedi powers and glides swiftly down to the room as if he is moving at light speed. The Sith begins to recover from his deadly blow, and stands up to see the young Yoda holding out his hands to give the evil villain another blast. The Sith, using his own dark powers to cushion the blow to the back of him, simply wipes off the dust and metal fragments on his shoulders. The Sith can use the Darkside of the Force to shield their bodies from harm, not such as to make them invulnerable, but enough to only make it survive attacks like these. The dark stranger smiles at the green, long eared Halfling standing in the doorway and chuckles at him.
"Impressive. I can see now that the Force is very strong in you. But it is not fully developed yet...you still need to discipline your attacks...and be prepared for counter strikes."
The minute he mentions that, he out reaches his hand and raises the small being into the air. Yoda tries to struggle, but soon discovers that he cannot move at all. The Sith is too powerful and has managed to use his gifts to restrain the Padwan. Looking at Yoda, he sees the boy flinching and grunting, trying everything in his power to release himself.
"Don't fight me Yoda. This is how it was foreseen by my master...you are to be a Sith. Once you accept that...the Darkside shall be yours to command."
"No...NO!" Yoda yelps. "Jedi will I be...not you, nor your master shall make me otherwise."
The man scowls at him and his eyes dim.
"So be it. Jedi."
He raises his other hand up and now begins to crush the small being; Yoda now feels the pain within him and cries out for Jin Wan to save him. Just as he says the Jedi's name, the man finally comes running up, takes out his lightsaber and switches it on. The Sith turns to see the brown robed nemesis and halts his attack on Yoda.
"Let him go...NOW!", Jin Wan demands.
The Sith nods and quickly turns off his powers. Yoda drops hard to the floor and becomes unconscious. The Sith now turns to the Jedi and takes out his lightsaber as well.
"As you wish, Jedi Master Jin Wan So'bal. But you shall not have me this day....", His lightsaber switches on and brings the deep red glowing sword up to his face. "No Sith shall be taken..."
So'bal has heard those words before and quickly stretches out his hand to snare the lightsaber away from the enemy's hand. Shocked that it was taking so swiftly, the Sith tries to grab for it as it leaps out at Jin Wan. But after seeing it guide gracefully into his other hand. The Sith growls with anger and curls his fists.
"No...But I'll take your sword if you don't mind.", So'bal says with a bit of comedy.
With little option, the Sith turns around and runs down the corridor just as a Jedi would. Fast as lightening he speeds and soon reaches the landing bay. Jin Wan turns of his sword and follows him just as fast. Climbing on board the dark ship the Sith all came on, the evil being sits in the pilot chair and starts up the engine. So'bal comes rushing in to see the ship ramp closing, and the craft lifting up its landing gear. As he looks at the creature in the window of the ship, the Sith also stares back at him and smiles a toothy grin. The crafts spins around with its glowing dark green engine, and tries to singe the Jedi. Jin Wan tumbles and moves out of the way just in time, but as he looks up again, the Sith vessel shoots a few energy blasts from it's hidden weapon ports and makes a way through the hull. Space now enters the ship sucking everything out into it's deep void, Jin Wan uses the Force to hang on to the deck plates and climbs along the ground towards the corridor. The Sith ship launches out and returns to the darkness of the cosmos from which it came. As Jin Wan reaches the hallway arch, he stands up and pushes a button on the sidewall. It activates a large pressure door that comes swinging down and closes off the rest of the ship from the now exposed shuttle bay. Gasping for breath, the Jedi slinks down and sits on the floor as he tires to return air into his lungs.
As the Sith vessel hurls through hyperspace, the dark cloaked individual inside turns to a light blue fizzy hologram of Darth Bane. The image crackles and scrolls slightly as he talks to him.
"I have failed in my task master. The young one would not yield to me."
Bane sighs.
"I thought as much. It was a skilled attempt Lord Gaul, my training as suited you well."
Darth Gaul bows at his master's praise and looks at him with questioning eyes.
"Will you continue your pursuit of him my master?"
Bane taps his cane, a sound that still can be heard as clear as if his standing there in his ship.
"Not with another Sith. This requires something less obvious...tell me Darth Gaul, what was your impression of this small child?"
"He possesses great power my lord. He may one day even surpass yours I would think...", Gaul says to him cautiously.
The image of Bane's face shows his frustration.
"Yoda will be ours...even if I have to force him to be my unwilling slave for all eternity!"
The Sith craft continues to fly through hyperspace and drives deeper into space as the glare of the green glow of the engines drift off into it at a quickened pace.
