Solin and Vulcan exited Vulcan's personal ship in the hangar of The Logos. Together, they made their way to the throne room area of the ship. The door leading to the throne room opened and they entered into the room. Ahead of them stood a dark set of stairs. Past the stairs sat a figure in the lone chair in the room. They made their way up the stairs and stood at the edge of them at the top as the figure in the chair spun around, it was Tobos.

Tobos stood up and slowly walked toward them. He then laughed and raised his hands. Solin had no warning and no time to defend himself from the attack. The lightning that came from Tobos' hands forced him onto the ground. Solin lay on the ground, convulsing in the pain from the lightning. As he lay trying to fight the attack, he pleaded to Vulcan.

"Vulcan, please!" he shouted in between shrieks of pain. "Help me!"

Suddenly, something within Vulcan snapped. It was as if the part of him that was good was rising inside of him and was slowly defeating the monster within. He realized that his best friend was being tortured by the man he thought was supposed to be his inferior, not his equal and his friend, not his enemy. Vulcan then shouted in anger at Tobos.

"What are you doing?" he cried. "We never agreed to attack him! We're supposed to turn him back to our side! What the hell are you doing?"

Tobos then stopped shooting the lightning at Solin, who was stirring feebly on the ground at Vulcan's feet. He cackled and then spoke to Vulcan in a calm, yet evil voice.

"You fool, Nacluv!" he croaked. "You're too weak to be the Ruler of the Sith anymore! I am now the Ruler of the Sith! Once I'm done with your friend Solin here, you're next!"

Before Vulcan could do anything, Tobos then continued his attack on Solin. Solin continued to shout in pain and was still begging Vulcan to come to his assistance. Vulcan struggled with himself. The part of him that was still a Sith told him to ignore Solin's cries of help while the part of him that was his old self, and was slowly taking over him again, told him that he had to do something or Solin would die. This, he now knew, was the flaw of any fallen Jedi. No matter how much he hated Solin because he was a Jedi, no matter how much he couldn't stand the fact that the Jedi had defeated his army of Sith, he still had strong feelings for Solin. It didn't matter that Vulcan hadn't seen Solin in many years. It didn't matter that Nacluv had taken over him so much that he now despised the Jedi. His best friend was in severe pain and he had to do something about it. Quickly, without giving it much thought, Vulcan suddenly leaped in front of Solin and took the brunt of the lightning attack. He grunted in pain but didn't care because he knew that he was saving his best friend. As quickly as he had jumped in front of Solin, Tobos abruptly stopped his attack and looked at Vulcan in confusion. Vulcan then turned around and helped Solin up. Tobos, realizing that Vulcan was somehow being redeemed, laughed loudly and drew out his blood-red lightsaber. Solin and Vulcan then lit their own lightsabers; Vulcan was using the cyan blue one that Solin had given him when he left the Jedi Order.

"Very well, Nacluv," Tobos cackled. "If you won't let me attack Solin, I will have to kill both of you at the same time!"

The three of them then did battle. Solin and Vulcan together, though stronger than perhaps any Jedi or Dark Jedi in history, did not seem to match up against Tobos. However, even Tobos didn't seem to be gaining an upper hand in the fight. Together, the three masters of the force fought in a battle never before even imaginable. Their attacks and counters moved so quickly it was impossible to see who had struck and who had blocked. They even used force powers against each other so quickly that the majority of the powers proved difficult to block, let alone see. As their lightsabers blurred in motion, Solin realized that had Tobos succeeded in turning him back to the Dark Side, the three of them would have likely been unstoppable, even with Solin's friends' influence over him.

As their fight progressed, Solin began to very slowly wear down from exhaustion. He didn't have much time to recover from the lightning attack which had severly weakened him despite the fact that he used a quick Force Heal to sustain the injury. Tobos eventually sensed that Solin was wearing down and waited for his opportunity to use it to his advantage. After Solin blocked an attack from him, Tobos saw his opening and quickly kicked Solin in the chest, sending him and his lightsaber in separate directions. Tobos laughed in triumph, leapt up, and appeared to fly towards Solin. He was moving so quickly that Solin would not have time to grab his lightsaber to defend himself. Tobos raised his lightsaber and held it in such a way that it would impale Solin in the chest. Solin braced himself for the impact and closed his eyes, waiting for the immense pain that he knew would kill him. After waiting a few seconds, he indeed heard the sound of the lightsaber cutting through flesh, but he felt no pain. Solin opened his eyes and standing before him, with a blood red blade ran through his chest, stood Vulcan, still standing only because the lightsaber was supporting him. Vulcan looked directly in Solin's eyes and Solin realized instantly that Vulcan had been redeemed. Vulcan also appeared to be shocked at what he had done and seemed to wonder why the pain hadn't registered yet. He looked down at the blade and the pain took over him.

It was pain like none he had never felt before. It felt as though something had blown up within him. Like a fire had ignited in his chest and its heat and pain was quickly spreading throughout his body. Without making a noise of pain, Vulcan allowed the lightsaber to be taken out of him and he slumped over, unconscious and barely alive. Solin looked at his friend in shock before screaming his name, not believing what he had seen. Tobos cackled.

"Your friend is dead!" he exclaimed gleefully. "Now, nobody will be able to stop me as I kill you!"

But seeing that Vulcan was redeemed seem to act like a stimulant in Solin. Without thinking, he force-pushed Tobos back and called his lightsaber back to him. He ignited his green blade and began attacking Tobos. Tobos was caught off guard and had to act quickly to block all of Solin's attacks. After fighting together for a few moments, Tobos unleashed a powerful force wave that sent Solin flying back to Vulcan's unconscious body. Tobos then laughed and spoke in his darkest and most dangerous voice as red smoke appeared around him.

"It is too late, Solin!" he shouted. "I will be the one to continue the legacy of the Sith that my foolish master created! Eventually, we Sith will take over the galaxy and be responsible for the purge of the Jedi! It may take thousands of years, but it will happen!"

With a swishing of his cloak and letting out his trademark laugh again, Tobos disappeared in the red smoke, he had Force Apparated. Solin deactivated his lightsaber and knelt down beside the unconscious Vulcan, whose breathing had become raspy. He picked up Vulcan and laid his head on one of his knees and tried despearately to awaken him.

"Vulcan," he said in a shaky voice, slapping Vulcan's face. "Vulcan, please! Wake up!"

Vulcan slowly regained conscious. He looked around in confusion and realized that Tobos was no longer in the room with them.

"Where is Tobos?" he asked weakly.

"Gone. He Force Apparated out of here."

Vulcan laughed quietly. "Coward, I always had a funny feeling about him. Now Solin, I want to thank you."

"For what?" Solin asked, tearing up.

"For saving me from the Dark Side. Despite everything that I did to you as a Sith, you still took it upon yourself to try and save me."

"There's a good reason for that."

"And what is that?"

"You're my brother, Vulcan. Sabe' told me that they took us away together as infants from our parents and they kept the secret of our relationship hidden from us. I don't know why they did it, but I hate that they did."

"They may have seen what I was going to become. I regret all of that now." Vulcan then looked up and saw that Solin was still wearing the necklace that he had given him shortly before leaving the Jedi Order. He laughed softly. "You still have the necklace."

"Of course. I kept it because I never truly gave up on our friendship. I wanted to keep it so I would never forget the relationship you and I have."

"You know, even though I hated you as a Sith, I never gave up on our friendship either." Vulcan's breathing suddenly slowed down and he now had difficulty speaking. "Solin...you and I will...always be friends...no matter what...Always." With that, Vulcan exhaled his final breath and became One with the Force. Solin felt Vulcan's life leave his body but refused to believe it. He cradled Vulcan's body in his arms and began sobbing. Solin remained that way for some time before realizing that The Logos was shaking violently. He looked around and found the source of the disturbance – Tobos had somehow, from afar, activated the self-destruct on the ship in an last ditch attempt to kill him.

Without hesitating, he used the Force to lift Vulcan's body from the ground and guided it back to Vulcan's personal ship. Once he was certain that Vulcan's body was secure in on a bed in the flagship, Solin fired up the engines of the ship. He successfully navigated the ship out of the hangar of The Logos. By the time he had gotten far enough away from The Logos to avoid damage, the ship exploded in a large fireball behind him, larger even than the one that had destroyed The Millenium. Solin then used the force to create an allusion for Tobos, making it appear as though he and Vulcan had both perished in the explosion of The Millenium. After sensing that Tobos had seen his allusion, Solin turned the ship and around and piloted it down to the surface of Rakata Prime, landed it on the beach closest to Kento's headquarters and made his way back to the rest of his party.

He told them all that had happened aboard The Millenium. When Solin revealed that Vulcan had been killed, Sabe' interrupted him.

"I'm sorry, Solin, I know that you and he were as close as two Jedi could be," he said solemnly. "I think that Vulcan should be given a Jedi's funeral, seeing as he was redeemed before he died."

"Hear, hear," Keira interjected. "He will be layed to rest in the gardens of the Temple that is being rebuilt right now. We shall take him to Coruscant with us and will send word to the rest of the Order spread throughout the Galaxy of the defeat of the Sith and the Separtists."

It was agreed that Solin would follow the rest of the party back to Coruscant, alone with Vulcan's body, on Vulcan's personal ship. The following day, both ship's engines fired up early in the morning. They then flew towards space and once deep enough, activated their hyperdrives, making their way back to Coruscant...
