Aboard the ship Jaesa sparred with her master in the cargo hold. Pushing forward with her blade lock.
"Good Jaesa, harness your anger and let it flow through you." She let out a scream as she began pushing back sweeping her new saber trying to get in at least one single cut during this spar. It had been a day since leaving the sith home world and it would still be a few hours before they arrived and so far, her master had used her time to properly train Jaesa not only in sith combat but also in the darker abilities of the force. Harnessing the anger inside she lifted her hand and shot a bolt of lighting her master stopping it with her blades but being pushed back a couple of feet. She'd heard about this ability from her former master. He'd always told her it was a horrible ability that only a sith could use. So of course, after embracing the dark side and seeing it being used on the slaves on Dromand Kass she'd spent the credits her master had given her to buy a holocron that taught it.
A smile formed on her face at her achievement. But as she closed her eyes and caught her breath, she felt heat on her neck and looked down to see her master's blades inches away from it. "You've picked up lighting well Jaesa, but what have I said about using it?"
"Use it to create an opening or to torture your enemy. Never simply use it because you can."
"And why is that?"
"Because it can easily be blocked."
"Excellent now show me your true powers."
For the next hour she harnessed every ounce of rage and power she could to augment her speed and successfully managed to graze her master's shoulder before being flung into the wall. As she stood up her master looked down at her slightly cut shoulder.
"Not bad. Keep it up and you'll be able to kill any Jedi or sith that stands against you."
"Your enemies will fall to my blade master."
She smiled and Jaesa felt the pride rolling of her. Once the training was over, she ventured to her room and took in the objects she'd bought for herself. The holocron sat near her bed and next to it the skull of a fearsome predator she'd seen in the market.
She sat down and focused on the dark side and of their mission. Not long ago she and her master had broken up the republic meeting and slaughtered everyone within. It had felt good to fight alongside her master and feel as her saber cut down her enemies.
In the past she'd wanted to devote herself to the Jedi cause simply because she was told it was right. But now she dedicated herself to her master because she truly wanted to. Following her orders and being unleased brought her true joy.
When the ship finally touched down on Tarris she was irritated. Tarris was a republic planted and there were many Jedi encampments littered about. If she were still serving with Nomen Karr she would have been sent here to help other masters.
Their mission on the planted was to break up the war trust and cripple the republic. She was following her master through the swamp when she felt a familiar presence.
"Master I beg your indulgence, but I feel something nearby that displeases me."
Her master turned her head feeling her rage and desire. "Very well catch up with us when you're done."
She and Vette ventured of toward their goal while Jaesa tracked what she was sensing to a nearby ravine where a bunch of republic soldiers were busy fighting with a master and his padawan against a horde of rakghoul. From her vantage point she used her power to feel their emotions, the soldiers fear to the Jedi's courage. But the strongest emotion by far was the immense hunger coming from the rakghouls.
Their raw hunger was so intense that she felt her own hunger rising to the surface. But she pressed it down and focused on the padawan desperately fighting for his life. As she studied his form, she suddenly remembered him from her time on Tython. He was one of her former classmates.
Now what was his name again. Tyliek, no Tyboar, oh he was so annoying that I simply repressed it.
As she watched she got an idea and reached out with his powers tapping into the minds of the rakghouls feeding their ferocity and urging them forward. Their roars echoed across the lands as they attacked as a swarm quickly overpowering and killing the soldiers and backing the master and student into a corner. Having them trapped she descend into the swarm making the rakghouls move as she passed through their numbers.
When she got close enough the Jedi padawan reared back in surprise "Jaesa is that you? It's me Tynon. We were on Tython together."
While he was excited to see his old classmate his master pointed his saber at her. "Ready your blade Tynon I sense the dark side festering in your former classmate."
He looked to her horrified as he extended his senses. "But how is this possible! You're Nomen Karr's padawan. He's one of the greatest Jedi of them all!"
She ran her hand over of the creatures feeling it's scaly hide on her palm. "You must be out of the loop then. I'm no longer Nomen Karrs padawan, in fact I killed him some time ago and found my true place among the sith."
Hearing the two Jedi started to protest but the older master focused his thoughts on Jaesa. Sensing this she brought forth the memories of killing her master and pledging allegiance to the sith. His breath hitched when he saw her strike him down.
"She speaks the truth."
"No… not Nomen Karr. Jaesa you monster!"
She felt as his rage and pain shot to the surface and he rushed forward. Jaesa merely raised her hand and unleashed her monsters. As he desperately fought the horde she rushed his master catching him of guard and beating him into the rocks.
Normally she wouldn't have stood a chance against a Jedi master, but he was tired and unbalanced. His attempts to strike back where slowed with hesitation, with hope that she was simply caught up in the excitement and could be persuaded back to the light.
This hesitation made him unable to block her slash to his saber knocking it away before impaling him.
As she pulled her saber from his gut he dropped to his knees.
His padawan seeing this pushed the creatures away and rushed to his master.
"Master Rlock!"
"You must flee this place Tynon she's to" for the second time in since her turn she killed a Jedi before he could finish their last words. One simple thrust of her arm and he was sent away from his padawan and into the maws of the nearby creatures. His padawan seeing this reached for his saber but Jaesa used her lighting catching him full on in the chest. His skin burned and his bones briefly appeared in the streaks. As her power died down, he fell to the floor dead.
She picked him their sabers admiring her new trophies. "Master will be so proud of me. Maybe she'll even let me help kill her master."
After chuckling in excitement, she left the creature to their meal and went to track down her master. If this was what her life as a sith was going to be like then she'd never be disappointed again.
And that's where this story ends. Always felt like her conversion to the dark side was to quick so I hope this story filled in the blanks.
