Jaden ignited the saber and unleashed 4 blades in an x-shape. "Good work, Qollous! Now you..." the voice was interrupted. "This time I will do it my way! I don't need your tips or hints anymore. I am a Sith! I can do anything!" shouted Jaden.
"Really?
Where would you have been if I hadn't guided you? Now listen. You
have stolen the saber and must face the trials of the X-Saber. If you
win, then only you keep the saber."
"And If I
lose?"
"You lose not only your saber but your
life."
Just then, a statue of a single-saber duellist
came to life and attacked Jaden. Qollous was caught by surprise and
suffered a blow on his back. Giving way to his anger, he rammed two
of his blades into the duellist's abdomen.
"Good, your next
adversary has arrived".
The next opponent, a ninja wielding
two saber in a frenzy flashed past Jaden. The Ninja ran at a speed 10
times faster than normal. All Jaden could do was defend himself with
his new saber. All this time he could hear the mocks and jeers of the
maniac. Finally, Qollous used Force Speed and gave a chase to the
ninja throughout the hall. The ninja made a sudden dodge and Jaden,
surprised, slammed into a pillar.
The fast Sith held his sabres in
front of him like pikes and inserted them deep into the pillar.
Qollous sped behind the ninja and with a well-aimed slash, sent the
ninja back into his statue.
Darth Qollous turned off his saber and walked slowly to the hole in the ceiling from where he had come. "You still have one more opponent, Qollous."
"Yeah,
you."
"You will face me later, first defeat the maker of
this saber."
"Who?"
The 40-feet statue of
Sith Lord Baret Kloopon came to life and ignite a powerful
saberstaff. Each blade of the saberstaff was approximately 30 feet
long. The new adversary, although being enormous was lightning fast
and made Qollous jump a spider.
Qollous was unable to keep jumping
away from the two powerful blades. He wasn't even able to damage the
skin of the Kel Dor. "Are you really that weak, Jaden?"
At
being called Jaden and weak, Qollous was fully fuelled by Dark Rage
and jumped up to the Sith's head. Then, he used two of his blades to
penetrate Baret's eyes. The blinded sith covered his eyes as Jaden
cut off his life supporter coils which were coiled around his
ears.
"How did you know those were his life supporters?"
asked Kun as Jaden walked back to his ship.
"Living in the
academy does have it's advantages."
"How did that Sith
get that big?"
"No time now"
"Kun? Kun?
Blast it! He disappeared!"
Jaden got on his X-Wing and shot out of Korriban, brandishing a brand new X-Saber.
Qollous
had reached about halfway to his destination when a tractor beam from
a Star Destroyer caught him. Puzzled, Qollous switched on his
comlink. "You imbeciles! I am Darth Qollous!" No reply.
As
soon as he reached inside, he found stormtrooper and officer bodies
lying all over. "We meet again, Jedi" a voice spoke up on
the comlink. Jaden recognized that voice. "I am not a Jedi
anymore, Fett."
"I have a surprise for you, enter the
command centre".
