Author Notes- Here's another chapter. Just to let you all know, I might go back and redo some of the dialogue in some of the early chapters( they were unlike these new chapters, rushed). So if something seems different in one of the early chapters, you'll know why.
WARNING: There's some more DEEP mush ahead, mainly in the middle of this chapter. So if you're not a mush junkie, you might possibly get sick. But if you want to know what happens to the sons of Skywalker, read on. I really do hope you all like it.

Luke and Mara exited their quarters then immediately proceeded down the right pathway, which lead to the Academy's elevator. As the two continued down the hall, they suddenly heard Kyp's voice sound from behind them.
"Luke, Mara!" Kyp said as he approached him.
Luke and Mara turned around and looked at him. "Kyp?" said Luke. "This is quite un-expectant. You're usually one of the first ones to be in the Council Chamber at this time."
"I know, but I just had a very important conversation with Tekli. In fact, that's why I came to find you two. I would've contacted you by comlink, but this bit of news is so urgent, that I just had to tell you in person."
"What is it?" Luke asked as he folded his arms.
"And please say it's not more bad news." Said Mara.
"Don't worry, I assure you both, it's not bad news; its actually good news. The probes have found Orion."
"They have?" Luke said in a tone full of interest.
"Yes. Apparently last night they spotted him right near the edge of the Atroculus Trench."
"The Atroculus Trench? That's not too far from here." Said Mara.
"Yeah, and if you look at it, it's actually the perfect hiding spot for a Sith. There's got to be at least over a dozen caves in that trench and half of them probably lead to some underground caverns."
"Amazing." Mara said as she slowly shook her head. "Here we were searching the whole galaxy for Orion and all this time he right under our very nose."
"Well, one things for sure, we must act on this as soon as possible. This is, without a doubt, the opportunity we've been looking for." Said Luke. "Let's head to the Council Chamber. We now have much to discuss."
Kyp and Mara agreed then the three Jedi made their way down the hallway until they reached the elevator's entrance.
--------------------------------------------------------
Ben, who had a very calm and peaceful smile on his face, strolled down the long sunlit hallway, thinking to himself about the events that had transpired last night. He still couldn't believe it. The woman that he loves and cares about so much feels the exact same way about him. To Ben it felt like a good dream, but it was in fact a wonderful reality. All that time, I thought it was Valin that she loved the most, but all along it was me whom she loved most. Ben thought as his smile widened.
There was no question about it in Ben's mind last night was the greatest night of his life. Not also did he and Keira confess their love to each other, but they also kissed for the first time. Ben sighed peacefully as he thought about that first kiss that he and Keira shared. That one loving kiss led to many passionate kisses. Ben didn't know how long he and Keira made out last night all he knew was that every time his lips met hers it felt like total bliss.
He, like Keira, wished they could've stayed with each other longer, but eventually the two of them got tired and decided to go to bed. Before she left his quarters, Keira gave Ben one final goodnight kiss, which to Ben was just as great as the other kisses. So he went to bed and yet another fantastic miracle happened. He received one of the best night sleeps that he had not had in a long time. Not once during the night was he plagued by a nightmare about his brother or the Sith. Finally, he was able to get a nice and peaceful slumber.
Ben came to the end of the hall then turned and proceeded down another long hallway, which lead to the Great Hall. Ben's destination, however, was not the Great Hall, but the Courtyard. Even though his session with Jaina didn't start until in another twenty-five minutes, he still needed to get to the Courtyard for someone was waiting for him there. And that someone was Keira. Ten minutes ago, which was when he had woken up, Keira contacted him on his comlink and told him that she wanted to see him. Because he had missed breakfast, they both agreed to meet each other in the Courtyard. Since their sessions with their masters didn't start until in another several minutes, it would give them plenty of time to enjoy each other's company. And make out. Ben thought with a mischievous grin. He couldn't wait to see Keira again. To hold her again, to kiss her again, and to tell her again how much he deeply loved her.
As Ben continued down the hall, he soon saw straight ahead Jaina's fiancé, Jagged Fel, coming down the opposite end of the hallway. Ben stopped then politely greeted Jag. "Hello there, Jag."
"Ah, greetings, Jedi Skywalker." Jag said in his usual stiff but courteous tone. "You're just the very person I was hoping to run into."
"Really?"
"Yes. The reason I wanted to meet with you is to say in person; 'thank you'."
"For what?"
"For saving Jaina's life a few days ago. If it wasn't for your heroic act, she wouldn't be with us right now."
"Well, I'm… just relieved that I got to her in time." Ben said with a hint of uneasiness. Even though it was in the past now and nothing terrible had happened, Ben still got this slight feeling of un-comfort and worry every time someone mentions that whole incident on the beach where he prevented his brother from taking Jaina's life. Just the very thought that he almost lost Jaina brought immense worry to his heart. But like Jacen told me, I mustn't focus on the negatives or the 'what ifs' for they could easily drive a person to the edge of intense stress and worry. I must allow only positive thoughts into my mind and shield out the negatives. Ben thought as he started to feel calm and at ease once again.
"You certainly have become quite a Jedi. At the rate you're going, you'll probably be a knight in no time." Said Jag. Ben smiled at his comment then looked down at the ground. Jag then spoke again. "Well, that's basically it. I would of course chat with you longer but I know you probably have a lot of Jedi duties to attend to at this time. So I'll let you be on your way."
"Alright. Even though it was brief, it was good to talk to you again, my friend." Ben said as he and Jag shook hands. "I'll see you around."
"So long, Jedi Skywalker." Jag said with a smile. He then walked past Ben and made his way down the hallway.
Ben immediately continued on forward until he reached the Great Hall's entrance. He entered the Great Hall then walked straight on forward. As he was making his way to the Hall's center exit, which lead to the Courtyard, he suddenly heard the voice of his friend, the 17-year old dark skinned, black-haired, and green-eyed male human, Auron Kahn. "Yo, Ben." Said Auron.
Ben stopped then looked to his left and saw Auron, Kit Astar; who had blonde hair and brown eyes, and Valin standing right near one of the Great Hall's unique, abstract paintings. He smiled then walked over to his friends.
"Hey, guys." Said Ben.
"Hey, Ben." Said Kit and Valin one at a time. Valin then added. "So how's it going?"
"Oh, just fine." Replied Ben. "I'm sorry I didn't meet up with you guys at breakfast, but this morning, I, um, accidentally slept in again."
"Ah, don't worry about it, Ben. None of us attended breakfast either." Said Valin.
"Really?" replied Ben.
"Yep. Since it's our day off, we too slept in." said Auron.
"Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot. Today is you guys' day off." Said Ben.
"Yep. And I don't about these guys, but today I plan on doing nothing else except kicking back and relaxing." Said Kit.
"Ah, so you want to have a lazy day today, huh." Replied Ben.
"Oh yeah." Kit said coolly with a smile.
"And I'll probably be doing the same thing myself. Well, that is if my sister isn't too busy up in the Medical Lab. Because if she isn't, I'll try to spend some time with her today." Said Auron. His expression suddenly became more serious as well as his tone. "But, uh, anyway Ben. The main reason I called you over here is because there's something important I want to ask you."
"What is it?" asked Ben.
"Well, you see, we haven't really been keeping up lately so we were wondering: has there been any news about your brother or Lumiya?" asked Auron.
Ben sighed then shook his head. "None unfortunately. Well, at least none that I know of anyway." Said Ben.
Auron, who now had a rather annoyed look on his face, took a deep breath then folded his arms and looked to the side. Valin rubbed his hand through his brown hair then spoke. "Hmm. I find this whole thing rather unsettling. It's now been days since Orion had last attacked. And ever since then he hasn't made a single move yet."
"Which is why I think it's a real shame that after all this time the Council still hasn't found the hideout of Orion and Lumiya." Auron said in an angry tone. "At this very moment, Lumiya is probably concocting some scheme to destroy us all, and the only thing the Council can do is sit back and send out a few measly probes here and there. Lumiya and Orion know where we are and we don't even have a slight clue as to where they are. So in actuality, they have the advantage. It's absolutely ludicrous if you ask Me."
"Auron, relax." Replied Ben. "Have patience. In time, the Council will find where my brother and Lumiya are hiding. Remember, my father and the Council are doing the best they can with the very little info that they have."
"Agreed. My father is also doing his best." Said Valin. He then added sternly. "So watch your tongue…Auron."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry." Said Auron. He sighed then looked down at the ground. "It's just that…several good people that I knew like Alema and the Sebatynes have already been killed. And when I hear that more of my friends like you, Ben, are in danger of suffering the same fate, well… it just…it just makes me feel a little frustrated because I wish that something could be done about this immediately. But sadly, I know that nothing can."
Ben gave a nod of understanding then placed his hand on Auron's shoulder. "I understand how you feel, Auron. In fact, similar thoughts have been circling through my mind as well. But in times like these when we're facing a diabolical enemy like the Sith, we must remain calm, have full patience, and not give in to such negativity. For that would just lead to more frustration, stress, and worst of all…anger. We all got to stay positive. As I said, the Council will find Lumiya and my brother. It may not be immediately. But, without a doubt, they will find them." Said Ben.
Auron nodded. "Yeah, you're right, Ben."
There was a few seconds of silence until Kit, who had been silent through most of the conversation, spoke. "Hey, um, not to go off topic or anything, but, um…does anyone think that besides we Jedi, Lumiya might also target the Senate or the entire Republic? I mean, if we look at all the past dark siders, one of the first things they attempted to do, besides trying to destroy the Jedi, was to take over the Republic."
"The difference is though is that Lumiya doesn't have a faction or an army. So I doubt she'd be dumb enough to try and target the Republic." Replied Valin.
"Besides, judging from what my father told me about Lumiya, power and galactic conquest are the last things on her mind. She wants one thing and one thing only. And that's the destruction of the Jedi Order." Said Ben.
Auron smirked. "She certainly has proven that, that's for sure. And frankly I'm not looking forward to finding out what she and Orion have up their sleeves next." Said Auron.
"Neither are we. But unfortunately the only thing we can do right now is to do what my father said. And that's to stay alert at all times and be extra cautious." Said Valin.
Everyone including Auron agreed with Valin. Ben would've continued to talk to his friends but he suddenly realized the time. If my calculations are correct, I now have only 10 minutes left to get to the Courtyard and spend some time with the woman I love. Thought Ben.
He looked at each of his friends then spoke. "Well guys. I have to get going now. I promised Keira that I would meet her in the Courtyard. Plus, I don't want to be late for Jaina's session."
"Alright. We'll see you later, Ben." Said Kit.
"Yeah, see yah." Auron said with a smile.
"So long, buddy." Said Valin.
"Good bye, guys." Said Ben. He then turned and made his way toward the Hall's center exit. He approached the exit then proceeded on forward down the rather short hallway. Ben reached the end of the hallway then immediately entered the Courtyard. As he was walking through the Courtyard, he began to look around its lush, tree-filled environment hoping to spot Keira. Ben walked down two more pathways, which lead deeper into the Courtyard's miniature forest, until finally he spotted Keira, who was sitting on a rock meditating right near the Courtyard's small but mellow stream. Ben stood there for a while just staring at her with a peaceful smile on his face. By the cosmos and all the powers of the Light, she looks absolutely beautiful. Thought Ben.
He slowly walked to Keira then planted a soft but loving kiss on her cheek. "Good morning, beautiful." Ben said in a low and affectionate tone.
Keira smiled then opened her eyes and looked up at Ben. "Good morning, my love." Keira said softly.
She then stood up and took a few steps closer to Ben, which eliminated any distance between their bodies. Neither one of them spoke another word; they just stared affectionately into each other's eyes.
Ben took her hands into his then they both leaned closer until their lips met in a soft and loving kiss. Once more, Ben felt this feeling of intense love rise within him. He felt it's fiery but passionate energy course through his veins like a rushing river. Although he always felt a feeling of love whenever he was around Keira, it was never quite like this before. This feeling of love that he has for Keira is now much more deeper, intense, fiery, or, as Ben would put it, passionate. And through the Force, Ben sensed that Keira felt the very same way about him.
Ben and Keira deepened their kiss, which caused it to become even more intense. Their powerful love-filled kiss lasted for a while, until eventually they both broke the kiss then gazed into each other's eyes. Keira gently laid her head on Ben's chest. Ben smiled and wrapped his strong arms around the woman he loved so much.
Keira gave a peaceful sigh then briefly closed her eyes. "I just love being in your arms, Ben. Whenever I'm with you, all my troubles and worries always seem to evaporate." Said Keira.
Ben gently rested his chin on the top of her head. "Same thing happens to me every time I'm around you." Replied Ben as he began to slowly and lovingly rub her long dark brown hair. "But that's not the only thing that happens. When I'm with you or holding you or kissing you. I always feel this wonderful feeling of love and peace enter my heart. It's like… it's like the feeling I get when I reach out to the Light Side, only a lot deeper and a lot more stronger."
Keira looked up at Ben with an affectionate gaze. Ben stared deep into her brown eyes then gently caressed her cheek. "I really do love you, Keira. And I know deep in my heart that the love I feel for you will never die out. My love for you, Keira, is forever." Ben said deeply and honestly in a very low but affectionate tone.
"Oh Ben." Keira said softly with a smile. She then wrapped her arms around Ben's neck and kissed him deeply and passionately on the lips. Ben gladly returned her kiss with the same amount of passion.
Ben and Keira released their kiss but their lips remained very close. Keira softly rubbed her right hand through Ben's red hair. "I wish we could just spend the whole day together." Keira said in a very low tone.
"Yeah. Me too." Replied Ben. Just hearing the tone of her voice made Ben want to kiss her again. No longer able to resist the urge, Ben claimed her lips in another kiss. The kiss wasn't too deep or intense like the previous ones, but it was still filled with passion.
Ben broke their kiss then looked into Keira's eyes and continued his sentence. "But today is a training day. So we gotta do our sessions like always."
"Yeah. I know." Keira said as she slowly rubbed her hands up and down Ben's chest.
"Besides, look on the bright side." Ben said as he took her hand into his. He planted a gentle kiss on her hand then spoke again. "In three days, you and I are both going to have two days off in a row. Which means that on one of those days, we can spend a whole day together."
"Hmm. Sounds like a plan. Now I'm certainly going to be looking forward to our days off." Keira said with a smile.
"I am too." Ben said then kissed her hand again.
Ben and Keira wanted to be with each other longer, but they knew that their spare time had run out and their training sessions were soon going to begin. "Well, I better get on over to the Training Hall. Because if I'm correct, my session with Tahiri starts in less than two minutes." Said Keira.
"Alright. Good luck on your training." Ben said as he slowly and affectionately rubbed her arm. "By the way, um, I was wondering would you, uh, like to hang out with me in the Lounging Hall later this evening after our sessions?"
"I'd love too. Any chance to be with you for an evening, I'll gladly take it." Replied Keira.
Ben smiled then just gazed into her eyes. Keira caressed his cheek then spoke. "Before we part. How about one last kiss." Said Keira.
"With pleasure." Said Ben. He wrapped his hand around her waist then two kissed. Their kiss was brief but to Ben and Keira it was pure bliss.
They slowly broke their kiss then they both stared at each other lovingly. "I love you, Ben." Keira said softly.
"And I love you, Keira." Said Ben.
Keira smiled then slowly backed away from Ben. She then started toward the left walkway and immediately followed its path until it took her to the Courtyard's exit.
Ben gave a calm sigh then turned his peaceful gaze to the stream. As he was looking at the tranquil stream, he suddenly heard the voices of his two cousins behind him. "Well, well, well. Looks like our little cousin here has become quite the little charmer." Said Jaina.
"Yep. I knew he had it in him all along." Jacen said with a proud smile.
Ben, who now had a look of slight embarrassment on his face, turned around and saw his cousins standing near a very large tree with grins on their faces. Ben now automatically knew that that tree had to be the very place that his cousins had been hiding behind while he and Keira were together. "Oh hey, Jaina…Jacen." Said Ben.
"Hey, Ben." Jaina said with a simple smile.
"Hey there, cousin." Jacen said immediately after Jaina. "I would ask you 'how are you feeling', but judging from what I've just seen. You're definitely doing just fine."
"And, of course, we would've greeted you sooner, kiddo. But we didn't want to interrupt you and Keira's…'moment' together." Said Jaina.
"I don't know, by the way those two were, I don't even think if you shouted 'hello' it could've interrupted them." Said Jacen.
Jaina snickered then she and Jacen walked over to Ben. Ben folded his arms and slowly shook his head. "You know. I was going to tell you guys about me and Keira's relationship later on, but by the look of it I don't have to now." Said Ben.
"Yep." Jacen said as he gave Ben a quick pat on the shoulder. "You don't have to say a thing, Ben. Jaina and I…we, um, basically got the picture."
"Yeah, and all we can say is, kiddo, is that we're both very happy for you and Keira. We can tell by just looking at the two of you together that you and her share quite a bond." Said Jaina.
"Yeah. We do." Ben said with a smile. "Keira and I have been friends for years and our bond has always been strong. But ever since yesterday, when we confessed our feelings to one another and kissed for the first time, we felt our bond strengthen and become stronger. As Keira and I put it, the bond that me and her share is an 'everlasting' bond of love."
Jaina and Jacen smiled. They liked seeing their cousin feel this way. They liked seeing him happy. Neither Jaina nor Jacen wanted Ben to experience the tragedies and horrors that they experienced when they were his age. They wanted him have a peaceful life. In fact after all they've been through, they're entire family deserved to have a normal life at last. Which is why it was critical for them to find and defeat the Dark Lady Lumiya, the last real threat in the galaxy.
Jaina walked over and placed her hand on Ben's shoulder. "Well, that 'everlasting' bond is so strong that Jacen and I could feel it radiating through the Force. Because of that bond that you and Keira share, I foresee that the two of you are going to have a very strong, loving, and 'everlasting' relationship." Said Jaina.
Jacen nodded in agreement. Ben looked at his cousins with a peaceful smile then spoke. "Yeah. I think so too."
There was a brief silence until Jacen spoke. "Well, speaking of love and relationships, I better get going now. I promised my darling wife that I'd join her for a walk in the garden. So I'll see you both later on."
"Alright. See yah, cousin." Said Ben.
"Goodbye, bro." Jaina said as Jacen began walking away toward the left pathway.
Ben looked at Jaina then asked. "So, um, Jaina. What are we going to be doing today in our session?"
"A review. In fact, we're going to be doing nothing but reviews for the next three days. Remember, your monthly Jedi Test is coming up next week, so I want you to be fully prepared." Jaina said as she and Ben began walking to their usual training spot, which wasn't too far from where they were.
"Oh that's right, the test. Well then, I'll make sure to train extra hard and memorize everything in these reviews you're going to give me." Said Ben.
"That's what I like to hear. With determination like that, there's, no doubt, that you're going to get an 'A' on that test."
"Yeah…I hope." Said Ben as he and Jaina stopped at their training spot. I'm probably going to get a 'B' though. Thought Ben. Although he gave it his all, or at least tried to, Ben always managed to get a 'B' on all his Jedi tests. He didn't mind getting 'Bs', in fact most Jedi including himself consider a 'B' a very excellent grade, but just once he wish he could an 'A'. Ah, even if I do get another 'B', it will still be cool.
Jaina looked at Ben sternly then told him. "Now before we get to the core of our session, it's time to do some warm up. Drop and give me thirty-five pushups on your knuckles."
"Yes, master." Said Ben. He got to his knees and prepared to do his pushups. He was about to start when suddenly his comlink beeped. He looked up at Jaina then asked. "May I?"
Jaina, who had her arms folded, gave a simple nod, which Ben knew meant 'Yes, you may answer it'. He got to his feet, grabbed his comlink, and then switched it on. "Ben Skywalker here." Said Ben.
"Greetings, my son." Said Luke.
"Oh hello, father."
"Ben, I'm so sorry if I'm interrupting your session with Jaina, but this is very important."
"What is it, father?"
"The Council and I wish to speak with you at once. I won't give you all the details just yet. But the one thing I can tell you is, is that it's about Orion."
Ben frowned then looked briefly at Jaina, who had everything Luke had said. He then turned his attention back to the comlink. "Really." Said Ben.
"Hmm. Sounds like my dear cousin might have finally been found. This is a bit of news that I got to hear. Ben, tell Uncle Luke that I'm coming with you and that you and I will be there shortly." Said Jaina.
Ben gave a nod then spoke again through the comlink. "Alright. Father, Jaina is going to come with me and the two of us are going to be at the Council Chamber as soon as possible."
"Good. It's actually best that Jaina does come. For she should also know what's currently going on."
"Okay. Well then, I'll see yah soon, father."
"See you soon, my son."
Ben switched off his comlink then placed it back in his pocket. Jaina sighed then slowly shook her head. "You know, lately, every time when I think we're going to have a normal day of training, something always seems to come up." Said Jaina.
"Well, I guess that's the life of us Skywalkers." Ben said as he walked over and placed his hand on Jaina's shoulder. "Nothing is ever normal."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Omega, who had his lightsaber lit, walked deeper down the cave's dark and rocky path. It was one out of the many caves in the Trench. But unlike the others, Omega found that this one seemed to be larger and deeper. It was so deep that there wasn't even an inch or a centimeter of light. The only light that could be seen was the redish glow from Omega's lightsaber.
But Omega liked the darkness. To him, it was like a home away from home. A sanctuary. A place that he could go and think to himself without having to worry about anyone like his master bother him. I should've explored this place days ago. Thought omega as he took a few more steps. Just walking through this cave, made Omega remember all the times he used to sneak out of his Master's fortress at night so he could take a long walk through the Dead Moon's dark caves to think. The only difference Omega found was that unlike the Dead Moon's caves, the cave he was currently in didn't have too many life threatening hazards.
Most of the time when he was very young, Omega used to enter the caves and sit by himself thinking all alone within the pitch-black darkness. When he sat within the darkness, he always used to think about why his parents did what they did and how it could've been if they had really cared about him. The thought of his parents and how they through him away like a piece of insignificant garbage always made him cry. And the thing that used to make him cry harder was the fact that no one would ever come to comfort him or tell him how much that they loved him. His master was so strict that if she caught him crying, she'd slap him across the face and tell him to stop being so weak. So in reality, he had nobody to comfort him back then. The only comfort he had was he and the darkness.
My master was right about one thing. I was weak and pathetic. All that time, I was just whining on and on about how I wanted parents and a family that would care about me. Well, luckily, as years passed by, I learned to accept the truth and embrace reality. My family despises me. And love. Hah. Love is just some vomit-inducing emotion that picks favorites and preys on the weak. Which is why it and the rest of the essences of the Light Side must be eradicated. Omega thought with an evil glare.
His blood boiled as he thought about his family and the Light Side of the Force. He took a very angry deep breath then stopped. Judging from the average amount of air, Omega knew he had gone as far as he could go in the cave. Thanks to the glow of his lightsaber, Omega was able to spot a large rock near a very tall stalagmite. Omega walked over to the rock and immediately sat down. He turned off his lightsaber, which caused the entire area to go almost completely black, and then placed it back on his utility belt.
As he sat there by himself within the darkness, his thoughts fully shifted to his father, Luke Skywalker, and his brother, Benjamin Skywalker. One of the mains reasons Omega came down into the cave was to get mentally prepared for the coming battle with his father and brother. He knew that after the probes saw him that it would only be a matter of days before his father would come to the trench to try and finish what he had started years ago. And if I know Benjamin, he'll come as well. He'll follow behind father like some stupid little obedient pet. Thought Omega.
The truth was that part of him envied Ben. Everything Benjamin had he wished he could've had when he was young. Benjamin had his father's love. He had a mother who greatly cared about him. His two cousins loved him. And even his aunt and uncle loved him. Benjamin really did have everything. But what did I have when I was his age. Nothing! Omega thought venomously. Benjamin's family, the Skywalkers, is unfortunately my family and they absolutely hated me. And, without a doubt, still hate me. Father and my mother, Callista, through me away like some diseased animal. My dear, or should I say wretched, aunt and uncle probably assisted them. And my foolish cousins, well, they were just so young and stupid that they didn't even care about what was going on. The only person I have is my master.
Recently, however, his trust in his master had been slightly shaken. Yesterday, he asked his master several questions about his mother. Instead of giving a 'yes', 'no', or 'I don't know' type of an answer, she just somehow avoided answering all of his questions. And today for some reason, every time he was around her he kept getting this feeling of uneasiness like as if something inside of him was saying not to trust her. He, of course, ignored the feeling but still, he had to admit. He did find his master to be a little suspicious.
Omega shook his head then looked at the ground. Let me not go there again. I must have trust in my master. She has done so much for me. Sure she never gave me comfort when I needed it, but that was because she wanted me to become strong and get revenge on the ones who caused me pain. She could have easily left me an orphan to die, but she took me and raised me. So I must have some respect for her. She's proven that even though she's tough with me; she does care about me unlike my wretched family. Now I must get back on track and prepare for my battle with myfather and Benjamin.
One thing was for sure; he would have to be very careful and alert for it was not, by any means, going to be an easy fight. Benjamin already matched him in skill, speed, and strength. Now with the addition of his father, things were certainly going to be a lot more difficult. Omega knew that there was a slim chance that he wouldn't survive the battle. But he swore to himself that if he was going to go down, he'd take one of them down with him.
Omega scratched the back of his head then looked around his surroundings. Suddenly an idea popped up in his head. Even though I'm fighting them on their home turf, there's one thing I know better than them. And that's the darkness. When my father and brother arrive at this trench, I'll let them sense my presence so that they will come into this cave. Then once they enter and walk deeper into the darkness. I'll be right here, waiting for them. This maybe their home. But this is my sanctuary. Omega thought with an evil smile. In the darkness, I will achieve victory. In the darkness, I will have my revenge.
