Ch.2-Realizations

"Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken."

A set of tenant's that the man in black robes found him self reciting most of his time these days. In a way it helped numb him. Steel his nerves even, if he even has nerves. Closing his eyes he began to focus on the planet he had just landed on a few hours ago. Even through the heavy rain, and thunder. He could hear the darkness seemed to whisper horrible, perverted secrets to him.

Looking out towards the location of the voices he knew he found his target. Reaching out with a black bandaged bound right hand almost like could touch the sick temptations. Feeling a a pleasure take over his body. Not a sexual pleasure of course, but a pleasure of the hunt. Like predator finally stalking fresh prey.

He knew he was close to them. They thought they could hide forever, but they were unfortunately mistaken. For even from across star systems he could still hear the dark thoughts that betrayed his former friends.

Drawing his hand back to his side as he focused his attention on the matter at hand. figuratively and literally.

His landing was not as quite as he would have hoped, and it seemed to have drawn some unwanted attention. But he would soon rectify his mistake.

Tightening the grip of his left hand, feeling as the jedi padawan within struggled with each breath, choking at every centimeter his capture stole from his throat. Allowing the boy to only take in as much air as his bandage bound punisher would allow.

"No one will find your body. You never existed. Cease to be."

Upon hearing those words seeming to echo from his soon to be killers hooded face the boy's eyes widend as his body began to sting all over, like someone taking a torch to his insides. The boys blood vessels in his eyes began to pop under the strain of being exposed so much dark energy.

Letting out a rasp of air as he tried to scream from all the pain, trying to call to his master for her help. Begging anyone to stop this pain, but to no avail nothing that could be considured as words escaped his lips.

The capture only gazing at the poor boys being, watching as his gift did it's deed. The boy slowly turned to ash. What felt like hours for the young padawan had been merely seconds. Now he was exactly what his slayer stated. Nothing, just a pile of ash that was now being washed away buy the evening flood.

Dropping his arm that was once in use, he began to focus on the direction his next victims would be. Rubbing some of the remaining ash off his hand as he breathed in his surroundings as he walking towards a dense forest in search of what he desired.

The environment its self seemed to crawl away from his presence in fear. Even the wild knew when a bigger predator was in its domain. Even if said predator was unatural. He could feel the life force of everything that ran away from him in fear. As well as they should.

The Cloaked figure was created for one purpose. He exist to cease all others that would appose his master, and a great unjustice must be corrected. The murdur of his master would be avenged.

Walking deeper into the woods, he could the presence of his prey getting stronger. He knew by now they knew he was coming. That was fine though. it would've matter, none of them would escape. He could almost feel his hunger showing its jagged maw. Waiting to snap on its meal. To drag them into the depths of despair. They will all scream.

After hours of walking forward in the same direction he still felt like they where just out of his reach. It was like the forest itself was keeping him away from them. Stopping to examine his surroundings, he could not see any land marks to track his progress or to see he was looping around in circles.

"It seems this planet has more suprise than i originally thought." Looking at a tree to his right, with a flash of red the tree was cleaved in half. Crashing onto the jungle floor. If he was in fact in a form of loop then he would make a land mark to see if his theory was correct.

Striding forward towards the source of his growing anger. He kept on the look out for his newly made land mark. Only to come upon it after walking for a few seconds. He was right.

Someone or somthing was playing mind games with him, as well as keeping their presence hidden from him. To do such a feat must be very straining on them. He knew it would take much to destroy there focus, and end this illusion.

Looking towards the ground, he began to focus on his power. Allowing it to expand around like a inky black fog, slowly expanding getting thinner and thinner as it moved further away from its master. He would find who was messing with him, he just needed to focus.

"Let the dark side be your eyes."

He could hear his master say. As if a ghost whispering to him words of wisdom that he would tell him when he was beginning his training so very long ago.

"It will lead you to what you seek, young one."

Slowly nodding his head in agreement with his former master's words, "Yes, my master."

With those final words he found his targets. Two beings strong in the force had him insnared in a illusion as soon as he stepped foot into the jungle.

"If you wish to die swiftly, then show your selves. If not, I will hunt you down like animals." His gravelly voice echoed through there minds.

Realizeing they had been discovered they jumped from the tops of the trees they had been purched on to meet the intruder head on, "What are you doing hear dark one?" The human female spoke up as she pulled his green light saber from her white robes.

While the twi'lek male next to her pulled a blue saber out from his dark brown robes. Only glaring at the man in front of them.

"You know exactly why I am here. Jedi." The man glad in darkness voice echoed through there heads, spitting out there title as if it was poison. Causing both jedi to tense up.

"Please turn around stranger.. We do not want to harm you.. you know what we must do if you try to cause the council harm." She state, still holding her ground as he could see sweat start to form on her brow. She and her friend were both trying to get back into his head, but it wasn't working not this time.

It was to late. He was already in theirs, they just didn't know it yet, "I will not be leaving until have had my revenge, both of you lay down your sabers, and shall grant you a quick death." He cold voice pierced there minds, causing the female to wince in pain from all the strain she had already put herself in.

The twi'lek, seeing her discomfort glared at the invader, "He will not listen to reason we have no choice Kala, he must die."

Looking towards her long time friend Deesha, she only nodded her head as a look of disappointment formed on her face as they dashed towards him with there sabers poised in front of them. Shii-cho form one.

It was a stance most beginners were taught , designed for a more defensive strategy. But not well versed for light saber combat, and the being clad in darkness in front of them had a counter.

Ataru, the form of aggression should suffice in dispatching both of them. Allowing the dark side to take over his self he watched as they swiftly closed in from both sides. Lights sabers popping from the rain around them.

"This will be over quickly." His voice echoed through thier heads. Bring his hand out in front of himself. Kala and Deesha both braced for impact as they charged forward, but nothing ever happened.

Deesha only ignored thinking that this sith was just a joke. He wasn't powerful at all. Their master was worried for nothing. He would bring this dark jedi's head back to her, and then she would see that he finally deserved the recognition he wanted. Showing off a fanged smile as he was meer feet from his victim, bring his saber over his head to perform a downward slice.

But in a flash said smile was wiped from his face. He was right in front of the man clad in black, he could hear his breathing. But he could cut the man down. He was frozen as if something had frozen his veins solid. He could move. All he could was stare, wide eyed in fear, as the man before him moved the rest of the way forward, removing the space between them.

"I thought you wanted to cut off my head, Deesha. Why did you stop?" That dark voice echoed through the Twi'lek's skull, and he knew immediately in his hast that he had made a grave mistake.

Kala could only watch in confusion, "Why isn't Deesha finishing the sith off? He has him right where he wants."

Watching her friends back, she couldn't see what was going on.

"Kala ruuuuuuuun!!!!!!!" The words ripped out of her dear friends throat, causing fear to crawl up her spin. In an instant a red beam burst from the back of Deesha, forcing the Twi'lek to scream as the blade was torn upward, immediately silencing him, as well as leaving him almost completely split in half.

The smell of cooked flesh wafting up her nose, forcing her to gag. Successful keeping down her lunch, she knew she could not let this monster pass her. Even if it killed her.

Standing her ground, she watched as the threat in front of her slowly walked towards her, appearing almost like an angel of death as rain poured all around them.

"Run." His cold voice echoed through her body, making her tremble with each step he took. But she didn't falter. She couldn't.

Rushing forward to meet her friends murderer head on, she watched as did the same motion with his hand that he did to Deesha, causing her to jump over in a front flip, striking at him from above. She couldn't stay in the same spot for to long, she couldn't give him a clear focus on her. She had to keep rushing. Landing on her feet she imbued her light saber with the force, throwing it at her opponent, forcing him to roll out of the way of the spining blade of death that launched towards him. Allowing her to force it back into her hands as she prepared another assault. She had a chance, "Force guide my hand."

Launching at the hooded individual she put her saber out in front as to impale him, but the man was able to lock onto her as he did a grasping motion in the air as if catching her. But her momentum was only slowed down, as she came closer towards him.

But it was all he needed. In an instant he had activated his blade, deflecting hers as she crashed onto him, grabbing her sabers hilt with his off hand, over powering her as they tumbled to the ground jerking her green saber from her hands.

Trying to pick herself up out of the mud she felt as a boot stomped into her back. Forcing her deeper into the ground, coating her in dirt.

"It is over jedi, look at yourself. Covered in mud, not weapon to defend yourself with. No one to save you." His voice echoed again, as he brought his foot off of her only to drive it back into her. Forcing her to scream as she was forced back into the mud.

"Surrender." His voice repeated creeping into her mind.

Looking up into the darkness of her attackers hood, she only shook her head. She would not break. She knew if she did, everything she had worked for would have been for nothing.

He only looked at her, "So be it."

Kala felt herself slowly begin to lift out of the mud, until she was face to face with her soon to be killer.

"How can be you so far ahead of us?" Kala asked as she saw both sabers being placed like scissors in front her neck.
