Once he was assured that Mobbs would not be able to escape from the prison where he was being held to await trial, Solin made his to the medical facility where the rest of his party was, getting treatments for their injuries sustained while fighting Mobbs. He got to the facility and found the room where everyone else was being treated. His former master, Sabe', was on the bed getting his severed hand replaced by a cybernetic one when Solin entered the room. Everyone else looked healed and ready to go at a moment's notice. When they saw him enter the room, Sabe' spoke.

"Good work, Solin," he said. "Now, we need to know: where can we get to Vulcan and the rest of the Sith?"

"The headquarters of the Sith is hidden on the planet of Rakata Prime," Solin replied. "They are held up there in a private area blocked off to the citizens of the planet. The civilians are angry with them and will likely want to fight against the Sith."

"That gives us an advantage," Sabe' said before wincing a bit in pain. The medical droid attending to him was poking him in the hand to test how sensitive his new hand was. After the droid was satisfied with the results of his test, Sabe' was let off of the bed. The group then made their way to their ship, but not before stopping at Solin's quarters at the near destroyed Jedi Temple.

"What are we doing here?" Keira asked.

"I need to get out these Sith robes," Solin repliled. "If we are to enlist the help of the civilians, it would be better if I was not wearing the robes of their most hated enemy."

Solin quickly changed out of his Sith robes into the black robes of the Jedi, an indication that the Dark Side that was once in him had gone. The party then went back to the Senate hangar and boarded their ship. The pilots quickly got to the cockpit and fired the engines up while the rest of them each made their way to their private quarters except for Solin who chose to remain in the meeting room meditating. Once they arrived on the planet of Rakata Prime, they all met back up in the meeting room, with Bazila and Y'not using the force to listen in on the plan.

"It is possible that we will be captured as soon as we land on the planet," Solin explained. "They aren't taking any chances with any visitors to the planet and could possibly recognize me as a Sith since I was here before as one of them. However, I think I will be able to convince them otherwise."

The pilots then landed the ship and the group disembarked onto the beach they had landed on. They barely had time to appreciate the beauty of the planet, the warm temperature, the ocean they had landed next to, the cool breeze, before they were quickly surrounded as Solin had predicted by a group of civiliams of the planet, a mixture of humans and native aliens.

"Halt," barked one of the humans, aiming his blaster at Solin. "You are an unannounced visitor to the this planet as and such, you will be taken before our chief Elder, Kento Starkiller to await your fate. Come with us."

The party was escorted into the chambers of the chief. Once they had all assembled in front of the throne-like chair upon which Kento Starkiller, a human male, sat, Starkiller spoke to them, in particular to Solin.

"Malice, you slime!" he exclaimed. "You dare return to this planet with members of your filthy clan of Sith?"

"No, Kento, I haven't returned to this planet with the Sith," Solin replied calmly. "I have been redeemed and I am a Jedi once again. These are some of my most trusted companions in the Jedi Order."

"Then explain why you still wear the robes of the Sith," Starkiller snarled, eyeing the robes Solin was wearing.

"These are not the robes of the Sith; they are the robes of the Jedi, in particular, the robes of a Jedi that has been redeemed from the Dark Side of the Force. I wear them to show the truth in what they represent in my case," Solin explained. "The Sith are an abomination. I absolutely despise the Sith and I have plans to destroy them. I returned to this planet not only with intentions to destroy the Sith with my friends here, I have come to ask you to help us in our fight. Help us defeat them, your most hated enemies and you can return to the normal life on this planet. You will also be allowed to have free reign of this planet so long as there is a Senator in the Republic representing you. All we ask is for your help and you will all have your old lives back, the lives you all lead before the Sith came here and overtook the planet."

Kento considered this for a moment. Chatter amongst those in the room they were members of his guard and citizens of the planet broke out. Kento then raised his hand for silence before speaking to Solin again.

"Solin Malice, you have come to us redeemed, no longer a member of the Sith," he said. "You have asked us for help in destroying our mortal enemies. I recongnize the truth in your words, I believe you have been redeemed and you do plan to destroy the Sith, no matter what it takes. Because of that, I am prepared to have my men join forces with you and together, we, the citizens of Rakata Prime, and you, the Jedi, will destroy the Sith once and for all!"

Solin smiled in triumph as the room burst out in applause. The Jedi were then let out of the ropes binding them and were each returned their lightsabers. As the citizens celebrated, Solin and the rest of his group met privately with Starkiller to discuss plans for the pending battle against the Sith and the Separtists.


Unbeknowest to the Jedi on the planet below, a large carrier ship carrying only two individuals, both of them Sith, was floating in space above the planet. The ship was being controlled by the force powers of the two men aboard the ship. Inside a large area of the ship, a place big enough to hold an entire army, Vulcan Gunner, a former Jedi who founded the Sith, and Lord Tobos, the new second in command to Vulcan stood together discussing a plan of their own.

"My lord, I sense that Malice is down there on the planet with the rest of the Jedi who survived the assualt on the Temple," Tobos said.

"I agree," Vulcan replied. "However, we won't be able to take him for our own if he is surronded by his little group of friends."

"I have an idea," Tobos said. "I sense that he will surrender himself to Nute' down there in order to come here himself. I believe you should go down there and bring him here yourself. His compassion for you will be his undoing. He will come to you and then you will bring him here, where we will turn him back to our side."

"Very well then, Tobos, I will leave here at once and return when I have him. You better pray this works or you will suffer my...displeasure," Vulcan replied, leaving the throne room.


Back on Rakata Prime, the plan was set in motion for the defeat of the Sith and the Separtists. The group would set out early the next morning and lead the attack on the Temple of the Sith, where the enemy was housed. As the Jedi and Starkiller joined in on the celebration of their union, Solin suddenly left the group and headed outside. Sabe' saw him leave and followed him outside. He quickly caught up with Solin and walked up to him.

"Solin, what is it?" Sabe' asked when he reached him. Solin turned around and spoke to his former master.

"It's Vulcan, I can sense that he is nearby," he replied. "He's coming for me and he wants to take me away to try and turn me back to the Dark Side. I fear that he will have a lot of influence over me. I have to go after him."

"Why?"

"I can feel the good in him; the Dark Side of the Force hasn't driven it out of him fully. I have to save him, he's my best friend.

"Even after all of these years, you still have strong feelings toward him?" Solin nodded. "Well, there is good reason that you still feel close to him despite the history between the two of you. Solin, he is your brother."

"What?" Solin exclaimed, clearly shocked at this revelation.

"Yes, you and he are twins. Both of you were taken away from your parents at the same time to join the Order. We felt it better not to tell you that you two are family and I personally greatly encouraged your friendship because I felt it was wrong to sepearate the both of you. If you plan on going to Vulcan, I think you deserve to know the truth before you go after him. Good luck, Solin. Get your brother back."

Sabe' then left and returned to the throne room. Solin then remained alone for a few minutes, trying to comprehend what Sabe' had just revealed to him. How could Vulcan be his brother and the Jedi not tell him? Did they suspect, even then, what was going to become of Vulcan and they wanted to protect one of them from that fate? As he was thinking, Keira approached him from behind.

"Hey, what's going on?" she asked cheerily, not knowing the inner turmoil Solin was feeling.

"It's Vulcan," Solin replied. Keira's expression changed instantly, she now looked both worried and concerned. "He's here, now on this planet."

"How do you know?" Keira asked in a shaky voice.

"I felt his prescence. He's come for me. He can feel that I'm here. That's why I have to go, as long as I stay here, I endanger the group and our mission here. I have to face him."

"Why?"

Solin sighed before replying. "He's my brother."

Keira looked shocked at this news and seemed lost for words. When she regained use of her voice, she spoke again.

"Your brother?" she asked

"Yes. I must go after him and convince him to go, I can feel the good in him and I want to turn him back to our side."

"I understand, but Solin, be careful!"

"I will, Keira, you know I always am."

With that, Solin turned around and walked away from Keira, his heart intent on redeeming his best friend, who he now knew and accepted was his brother.


Vulcan stood waiting in a room connected to the hangar the Sith used on Rakata Prime. He had heard from Commander Nute' that a Jedi had surrendered to them and that he was bringing the Jedi to him. After waiting for some time, the doors opened and Nute' led a small group of Malastarian guards who were surronding the Jedi entered the room. All but two of the guards then left the room and Vulcan got a close up view of the Jedi that was captured, it was Solin.

"This is the Jedi that surreneded to us, Lord Nacluv," Nute' explained. "Although he denies it, I believe there may be more of them and request a further search of the area. He was armed only with this," he finished, producing Solin's lightsaber and handing it to Vulcan who took it.

"Good work Commander. Leave us. Conduct your search and bring his companions to me."

"Yes, my Lord."

With that, Commander Nute' and the guards left the room, leaving Vulcan and Solin alone. Vulcan handed Solin his lightsaber, who took it and put it back on its hilt on his belt. The two then slowly walked back to the hangar where a small personal ship was waiting for them.

"Lord Tobos and I have been expecting you," Vulcan said.

"I know, Vulcan. I also know that there is still good in you, the Dark Side hasn't driven it away from you fully."

"What do you mean?" Vulcan asked, sounding confused.

"I can feel the good that is still in you. You don't really want to take me to Tobos but you feel that you have no choice but to take me to him in order to prove that you are prepared to turn me back to the Dark Side. I can feel the conflict within you, Vulcan. Let go of your hate."

Vulcan considered this for a moment before going replying. "It is too late for me, Solin," he said somberly. "I'm going to take you to The Logos, our Sith ship and Tobos will do what he will do. I however, have no intention of turning you back to the Dark Side."

"Why is that?"

"I know it will be a useless move. Your Jedi friends have far more influence over you then I do. If I was to turn you, they would just as quickly turn you back to their side. I cannot turn you to the Dark Side as Tobos wants you to. That is why I am here, I'm taking you to him to prove that it would be futile to turn you. I fear however that he will kill you and I can do nothing about that."

"We will see," Solin replied shortly.

Together, they made their way to Vulcan's personal ship that would take them to Tobos awaiting their arrival aboard The Logos...
