by the way avia is a human/rattataki hybrid with some unfortunate genetic mutations for those of you wondering what the heck she was
CHAPTER 18
Sakaki just stood perfectly still facing Tyrannous, staring into his eyes a million things where going through her brain all at once she didn't know what to
make of what she had just "is he really my father, if so then why is he still a Sith if he didn't want me to become one?" Sakaki asked in her head, both of
the combatants just stood still staring at each other in complete silence "can't say I blame her, who knows what is going through her head right now"
Tyrannous thought to himself as he looked at Sakaki and at her frozen shocked expression, the silence was broken by Yukari who clobbered Tyrannous with
a burst of force energy "hey Sakaki are you all right?" asked Chihiro as she tried to get Sakaki's attention which worked and helped her get back to reality
"uh yeah I'm fine" Sakaki said she then turned her attention to Yukari who was standing over Tyrannous who was lying flat on his back Yukari gave off a
confident look and made a horrible mistake she let down her guard and said "wow that wasn't as bad as I thought…." But she was interrupted by Tyrannous
who shot a massive burst of force lightning at her the force of the attack was enough to send the Jedi master flying five feet away "ouch, ok I shouldn't of
let down my guard like that" Said Yukari as she slowly got back up, Tyrannous was already back on his feet and just stood at Yukari shaking his head at her
just then Chihiro tried to attack him but Tyrannous effortlessly blocked her attack "much to learn you still have" the Sith lord said as he blocked another of
Chihiro's attacks the battle between the two was less than impressive as Chihiro began to get more desperate with each swing from her lightsaber and
Tyrannous just kept blocking eventually Yukari jumped into the fray as Sakaki watched from the sidelines pacing back and forth with her lightsaber
activated, much was going through her mind but she tried not to let it bother her, she watched as Tyrannous held off the combined efforts of Yukari and
Chihiro for another moment before jumping into the fray herself but Tyrannous was by no means a weak opponent he managed to hold his own quite nicely
despite being outnumbered three to one, eventually he did an impressive backflip then entered a field position while floating in the air just as Yukari,
Chihiro and Sakaki got up close to him Tyrannous unleashed the force burst technique that sent the three Jedi flying into a wall knocking the wind out of all
three of them he then did another backflip onto another platform then deactivated his weapon "you have fought well, see you all later" Tyrannous said as
he nodded to the three Jedi he then disappeared into the shadows "ok why did he just leave?" asked Chihiro as she scratched her head she was
understandably puzzled "beats me…..it makes no sense" Yukari said she too was as easily puzzled there was no reason for him to leave if he could hold his
own like that, sure they might have eventually began to overwhelm him but ultimately if he was good enough to fight three Jedi at once with one of them
being a master and not get tired there was no reason to leave, the trio pondered about this briefly forgetting their mission to solve this puzzle but couldn't
figure it out, they then went back to their mission just as a bunch of battle droids began to look for them.
Meanwhile, Nyamo's group had come across the two creepy Sith twins mere moments after Osaka and Chiyo's clash with Tomo "and you two are" asked
Yomi as she got into a battle stance "well I am Darth Gor" Gor answered with his blood-red double-bladed lightsaber activated "and I am Darth Roe" Roe
answered with her two ruby-red colored short bladed lightsabers activated which she held in a reverse blade grip "we are twins and we shall be your end"
the two Sith said in unison "ok that was creepy" Chiyo said as she shook like a leaf briefly before regaining her composure "sure you wanna mess with us?"
asked Kagura her face was full of determination "it is six against two you know" Kaorin added the twins said not a word and just gave off a pair of
disturbing slasher smiles and unleashed a flurry of force lightning in unison "well I guess that's a yes" Kagura said as she and everyone else dodged the
attack Gor proceeded to leap behind the group whilst Roe just leaped in front of them both with their eyes closed then opening them and saying in unison
"let's begin the slaughter fest" with their flashing red. Kagura and Yomi attacked first with Kagura attacking Gor and Yomi attacking Roe, Kaorin and Nyamo
joined Yomi in her attack on Roe while Chiyo and Osaka assisted Kagura, and the two Sith proved to be truly skilled "it never fails to amaze us as to how
many Sith and Jedi there are out there who believe they can win a fight simply because they have their enemy outnumbered" the two Sith said yet again in
unison how they were able to do it so well was a question that would most likely never be answered Nyamo heard what they said and as much as she
wanted to argue with them she couldn't help but agree with them at least this one time "man I hate it when people like you two make a good point" Nyamo
thought to herself. Nyamo and Kaorin tried to attack Roe at the same time but the Sith managed to block their attacks and hold her own despite the three
of them being stuck in a blade lock Roe managed to get out of it by unleashing a horrid force shriek at the two Jedi, it worked only to wind up having
Kaorin kick her in the face "didn't think Jedi were willing to fight dirty" Roe said she wasn't mad just surprised "matters not sis, let's just kill these fools"
Gor said as he began force choking Chiyo his attack luckily it was stopped quickly by Osaka who demonstrated that she too was willing to fight dirty by
kicking Gor in the groin "you little b*tch!" Gor growled while gritting his teeth boy was he mad, Kagura then tried to decapitate him but Gor blocked her
attack only for Kagura to head butt him in the face followed by kicking him in the gut at that point Gor was seeing red then proceeded to unleash a force
roar that completely caught Kagura off guard he then got her in a force choke and proceeded to electrocute her with force lightning all the while smiling
maniacally, luckily Nyamo fired a force push attack that knocked Gor into a wall he got back up right away and dusted himself off, as for Kaorin and Yomi
well they managed to cut off Roe's ponytail much to her anger and give her a bloody nose but unfortunately she began to get the upper hand that was
thankfully cut off thanks to Nyamo returning to that fight and blade locking with Roe for a moment or two before unleashing a force push that knocked Roe
into a wall who like her brother got up immediately and dusted herself off, Yukari and her group were wandering around the factory getting themselves lost
in the process however in this case it was a god thing because they stumbled upon Nyamo's group as they battled the Sith twins and immediately joined in
"oh great more fools" the two Sith said in unison "hey what brings you here?" Nyamo asked with a smirk "oh not much saw your fight and decided to join
in" Yukari answered aslo smirking "well this is going to be fun!" the two Sith said, but before the fight could continue the twins were interrupted by a
transmission coming from some com links that were in their ears "what is it we are in the middle of a battle" the two answered "I sincerely apologize but I
need you two here immediately" said a voice on the other side of the com link, who unbeknownst to the group was Darth Avia, the two Sith didn't complain
and obliged "ok we'll be there right away" they said and sighed in unison with the y then turned their attention to the Jedi and said "sorry to leave but we'll
play again soon" and in perfect unison they threw a pair of smoke bombs to help make their escape "oh come on" Kagura sighed she really hated the
smoke bombs "well let's see if we can't find the heart of this place already and take it out" Nyamo said "right" everyone said in unison creeping themselves
out.
As for Tomo and Kaizer they just hung out on their ship with Tomo in deep thought, "so you doing any better?" asked Kaizer, you'd expect Tomo to say
something witty….ok so it's more like try to say something witty only for it to come out sounding stupid, or at least make a bad joke….but no she just stood
in the ship leaning against the wall with head hung low her mind somewhere else "no not really" Tomo answered "why am I still here? What am I doing? Is
it too late to go back?" Tomo kept asking herself in her head. Tyrannous walked up to the two Sith he immediately noticed Tomo was in a depressed mood
"been through a rough spot?" Tyrannous asked granted he wasn't being serious about the question it was as clear as day that Tomo had been through a
rough spot "you could say that yes" Tomo answered without looking at him, Tyrannous just looked at her for a moment or two before saying "if you wish to
be left alone, then so be it, just don't be afraid to talk to me or Kaizer if you need to" Tyrannous said which caught both Kaizer and Tomo by surprise, since
most Sith would never talk like that for every other Sith in the galaxy the answer would have been get over it or die,, they normally only care for
themselves. Well the three just sat in the ship they were still on Vjun but were awaiting orders from either Avia or Malacard.
Meanwhile, across Vjun, the many different plants were going up in smoke thanks to the various Jedi and Republic teams spread across the planet,
however this didn't concern Avia at all "let them destroy all the plants, it makes little difference I don't what Malacard has planned but I do know even if
they end the threat of the rakghoul bombs they shall still lose in the end" Avia said with a smug psychotic smirk "Avia were here" the Sith twins said while
bowing before her, Avia turned to them still smiling and said "get my "pet" ready for travel we shall be leaving soon" and she said it in an incredibly smug
tone of voice, in another plant on the other side of the planet a strike team full of Jedi and Republic troops was about to destroy another factory only for
CV-RN to pop up from behind them "excuse me but what do you think you're doing?" the droid asked the strike team turned to the droid and of the troops
said "oh not much just destroying this place", CV-RN just shook its head and said "well I can't allow prepare to be terminated", "why security coming?" a
Jedi asked to which the droid replied "no, no security just me", one of the troopers just laughed and said "now that's funny and how do you plan to do
that?", the droid turned to him and then activated some rockets that popped out of its back then it took off like a rocket and impaled the soldier through
the chest with its fist "like that" the droid said as soon as the soldier died the Jedi in the group activated their lightsabers and began to attack the droid
only for it to turn around slowly to face them, then everything went black, and when the lights went back on all of the soldiers and Jedi were dead with the
droid just standing around with its hands behind its back "how disgraceful" the droid said as it kicked the body of one of the dead Jedi.
Meanwhile, our Jedi heroines have finally found the heart of the factory they were in, after many hours of being hopelessly lost, "I knew we shouldn't of
taken those last two turns" Yukari said however she wasn't complaining in fact she was quite smug and confident "TWO?! More like the last twenty turns
Yukari!" Nyamo said snapping at her, but can you blame her? She and the rest of the group had to fight their way through hoards of droids including one
that both looked like and acted like a rancor, so none of them could understand why Yukari was so confident, "well no matter let's blow this joint up and go
home" Yukari said still looking quite confident as the group began setting up the explosive charges that would apparently set off a chain reaction that would
make the entire plant go up in flames Nyamo pointed out to Yukari that even after they blow up this plant there was still many more set across the planet
that needed to be destroyed before they could leave much Yukari's dismay finally knocking off her look of confidence. As they escaped the plant before it
blew, the group was being watched by a probe owned by Tyrannous "your friends finally managed to take out that plant" Tyrannous said "yeah, well the
other Jedi managed to destroy most of the others in the amount of time it took them to destroy just one" Tomo said as she watched her old friends leave
that plant and head to the next, granted she was only guessing there was other Jedi even if she was correct she just didn't know about the Republic troops
that were also on the planet. Finally the three Sith got a transmission from Darth Avia "there's been a bit of a delay, can I get you to slow done any Jedi
who might dare to come to the plant I am in?" Avia said requesting there assistance "sure we will be there immediately" Tyrannous said as Avia turned off
the transmission "well we might cross paths with your old friends again Tomo, I'm sorry" Tyrannous said the fact he used Tomo's real name instead of
Darth Shadius completely surprised her and Kaizer "wow not every day you see Sith use a member's real name instead of their Darth title" Kaizer said,
Tyrannous just smirked then began to head to the location Avia was at with Kaizer and Tomo following him.
As Yukari, Nyamo and the padawans wandered through the plant they were now in they began planting bombs everywhere this time around why they
didn't do it with the last plant they were in was anyone's guest, as they made their way into the heart of the plant they met up with CV-RN "more Jedi?
How many of you are on this planet?" the droid asked with its hands behind its back "that is none of your concern" Yukari said to the droid "now if you'll
excuse us we are in the process of tearing down this plant" Nyamo added the droid just shook its head "foolish like the last batch guess I'll have to
terminate you now, and I won't lie I do so enjoy terminating you fools" the droid said the group just gave the droid an awkward look and burst into
laughter "really how is a protocol droid going to kill us? You guys aren't even made or programed for violence" Kagura said pointing at the droid and
laughing "I'm glad you asked for you see I am no ordinary protocol droid, if anything I am only a protocol droid in appearance and you fools should know
that appearances can be deceiving as I shall now prove to you" the droid said as it whipped out a double-bladed lightsaber and activated it, "not
impressed" Kaorin said as she activated her lightsaber and charged at the droid, CV-RN got into a battle stance as Kaorin made the first strike to which the
droid just blocked it with its lightsaber it then delivered a powerful kick that Kaorin just barely dodged "ok that is definitely no ordinary droid" Yomi said
with wide eyes, everyone had the same look on their faces they now knew not to underestimate this droid Osaka was the next to join in on this fight she
tried to deliver a powerful kick to the droid's head and succeeded in hitting the machine, but forgot one important detail, hitting metal that hard hurts a lot
"OH MY….OOOOOOOUCH!" Osaka said as she fell back onto the floor in pain "Osaka…." Everyone said shaking their heads in disappointment and
embarrassment "now that wasn't too bright now was it?" the droid ask Osaka, just as Chihiro tried to decapitate it, only for the droid to duck and just as
she was about to hit and Chihiro crash into Kaorin. "If I was built to feel laughter I would be cracking up right now" CV-RN said as he watched Chihiro crash
into Kaorin, Yukari and Yomi then teamed up to unleash a colossal burst of force on CV-RN knocking the machine into a wall, the droid got up right away
and threw away its lightsaber "I shall now finish you all with my bare hands" CV-RN said everyone just looked at the droid as if it crazy only for the droid to
activate its hidden rockets and launch itself at the group, fortunately they managed to dodge its attack in time, it then tried to punch Nyamo only for her to
dodge the attack and then try to finish the droid in one hit with her lightsaber…..but much to her shock even though the attack hit it did nothing to the
droid "wha-but how?" Chiyo asked with a shocked expression on her face "my entire body is made out of curtosis" the droid answered, that sent a chill
down everyone's spine since that meant that this was going to be one tough fight, a droid made out of lightsaber resistant metal definitely counted as
among a Jedi's worst nightmare, the battle went on for what felt like hours eventually, Yomi managed to unleash a powerful force push attack that
managed to knock the droid off the platform they were fighting on and into the remains of a colossal tank droid, "ok let's hope that that's over with" Sakaki
said catching her breath everyone in the group was pretty battered from the fight, after dealing with the droid destroying the plant was a piece of cake as
soon as they exited the plant they received a holo-transmission from a fellow Jedi "good news there is only one plant left lets end this once and for all" the
Jedi said "great, by the way um did you manage to come across that data that was stolen from the laboratory on Taris by any chance?" asked Yukari "don't
that wasn't failed to cross our minds but unfortunately to answer your question no we haven't found it" the Jedi answered in disappointment, Yukari wasn't
happy to hear about that but at the same time was more interested in getting this whole ordeal over with "too bad, oh well guess we'll all meet up at this
last plant" Yukari said with a heavy sigh "sure will" the Jedi replied as he ended the transmission "well Yukari let's hope we get lucky" Nyamo said to her old
friend as they reached the location of the last plant, which was well hidden in a mountain until a random Republic trooper blew a whole into the side of the
mountain for literally no reason at all, upon landing at the last plant and carefully getting out of their ship, careful not to get burned by the planet's
seemingly never ending acid rain, they made their way through the factory and it didn't take long to see some action for the Republic troops and Jedi were
in an intense battle with the plants droids, and much to everyone's shock and horror this plant had rakghouls in it that were pushing the various Jedi and
troops back into a corner, "this place has rakghouls in it?!" Yomi said practically freaking out "yep" Chihiro said nervously. As for Tomo, Kaizer, and
Tyrannous they were busy questioning Avia where the rakghouls came from "that's easy, they came from here in the plant we collected most of them from
Taris but a few were slaves and Imperial troops that we had "modified" to become more useful" Avia informed them none of the Sith said a word and just
looked at her in disgust none of them liked rakghouls and none of them liked the idea of people being forcefully mutated into them "so I kept them locked
up in this here plant and when these fools broke in I decided to release them" Avia said with a psychotic smirk. "So I take it the delay was the Republic
troops and Jedi?" Tomo asked even though she knew that was most likely the reason and that she probably shouldn't have been asking an obvious
question but as it turned out that wasn't it "nope, actually it was something but Gor and Roe managedto take care of it just as you arrived" Avia answered,
"oh so I take it you don't need us anymore?" asked Kaizer "I never said that, nope I still need your help whilst I finish downloading all the plant's data both
the bit we stole from that lab on Taris and the data we made ourselves here" Avia answered "so be it" Tyrannous said as Avia left to finish downloading the
data, Kaizer began having flashbacks to when he got that data "ah yes I remember that data from Taris I never officially read it but I do remember stealing
it" Kaizer quietly said to himself Tomo heard him then asked "oh yeah that's right how did you do it again?" asked Tomo to which Kaizer answered "with a
Nexu corpse and lots of native rakghoul from that planet that's all you really need to know". Nyamo, Yukari and the padawans made their way through the
waves of rakghouls and droids helping out the Republic troops and their fellow Jedi fortunately it wasn't very hard to do so since the rakghouls were attack
the droids and destroying them and the droids in an act of self-defense killed several rakghouls, "thank goodness their taking each other out otherwise this
mission would've been more disastrous" Yomi said "so true" Chihiro said in agreement, after cutting a path through the rakghoul and droid hoards the
group came across what looked like a large power generator "wow all we need to use is one explosive and that thing alone will take out this plant" Nyamo
said as she looked at the machine "yeah" Yukari said to her old friend. Suddenly they heard some slow clapping "what the?" Yomi asked looking around
then looking back up to the generator "bravo, bravo for making it this far, too bad it is all for not" Avia said holding up an orange colored holocron "see this
here it contains all the data we stole and developed here, even if you destroy this place we shall start up again on another planet" Avia continued
occasionally breaking into wicked cackles "by the way the name is Darth Avia, and I am the one in charge of this joint" Avia continued still this time
introducing herself "well then I guess we will have to pry that from you cold dead body" Yukari said activating her lightsaber "oh you will try, granted you
shall not be fighting me but who cares?" Avia said with a crazed look on her face, "what do mean…..oh" Kaorin said as she saw three figures walk up beside
Avia then leap down before the group activating their lightsabers in the process "hey guys, sorry we are going have to fight again" Tomo said a she
revealed herself followed by Kaizer then finally Tyrannous "ready for the next round?" asked Kaizer it had been a while since the last time he had fought
any of the group but he was ready, even if head was killing him with Malacard's voice booming telling him to kill every time he looked at someone he knew
"man I wish he would shut up and leave me alone already" Kaizer thought to himself "well of course we're ready" Kagura said having her voice was shaky
since one of the Sith she was facing was her old friend in fact activating her lightsaber alone was difficult for her, as for Nyamo and Yukari they hadn't
activated their lightsabers yet and just stared at the three Sith "hey Yukari are you sensing what I am sensing?" asked Nyamo to which Yukari looked at
her and replied "yeah I do." The two Jedi masters sensed that the three of them weren't truly on the dark side it showed in their eyes which weren't the
normal Sith yellow or in some cases red, if anything it was more like the three of them were more misguided than anything else, granted they felt the good
in them before however it would seem the good in them was slowly bringing them back to the light, if that was the case it should hopefully be easy to get
at least one of them to leave the Sith. "Ready to begin?" asked Tyrannous this time all combatants had their weapons activated "ready as always, now shall
we begin?" Kagura said as the Sith and Jedi collided, Tomo clashed blades with Kagura and Sakaki faced Tyrannous and finally Kaizer dueled Yomi, the
battle however was rather anti-climatic with neither side giving it all "ok this is boring" said Avia as she shot force lightning at the Jedi in an attempt to
make the battle more interesting, it failed all the Jedi did was dodge her attacks except for Kaorin who got a little fried and even then it was because she
was too busy cheering Sakaki on to pay attention to her surroundings and nobody noticed her getting hit by the force lightning either, "ok well your all
boring, I'm out of here and I am taking the last bomb with me" Avia said in annoyance "wait, what?!" Yukari and Nyamo said in unison "oh did I forget to
mention there is one bomb left and it has enough force to cover an entire planet in the rakghoul disease in one boom and that I plan to use it on Corellia?"
Avia rhetorically asked in a bragging rant "oh and the only reason I am telling you this is because I believe that those three will kill you and even if they
don't I am still not concerned" Avia continued she then left, "well ain't that a kick in the teeth" Kagura said in wide-eyed disbelief before getting back into
her duel with Tomo all three combatants tried to appeal to their opponents inner good, it worked for the most part as all three Sith gave up on their battle,
"sorry guys but it's too late for me" Tomo sadly said as she did a backflip onto a nearby platform "come on Tomo we both know that's not true" Yomi said
to her old friend before Tomo escaped she glanced at Yomi then left, "even if it wasn't too late for me I could never rejoin the Jedi after I left them for the
Sith" Kaizer said hanging his low in sadness he then did a leaped onto the same platform Tomo was on and left quickly left, Tyrannous said not a word but
his expression clearly showed his sadness he had a hard time fighting Sakaki and never truly went all out on her even in their previous duel on account for
the fact that she was his daughter, he just threw a smoke bomb and disappeared into the shadows. "Well I do believe we are getting through to them"
Osaka said after the Sith left "yep" said Kaorin who finally got up, with an interesting new hair style "uh Kaorin, what's with your hair" asked Chihiro
pointing at Kaorin's hair "I don't know….WHAT THE?!" Kaorin said freaking out at the disaster her hair was in everyone just chuckled at her "ok, ok guys
we all have had a good laugh now let's blow this joint and go to Correlia" Yukari said "I agree, but I must admit I'm surprised to hear you say that" Nyamo
said "don't be I want this rakghoul nightmare to end just as badly as you" Yukari informed her friend to which Nyamo just happily nodded in agreement to,
after blowing up the last factory and getting off Vjun the grouped contacted both the Republic and the Jedi order and informed them of what has just
happened "We are going to Correlia now to take care of that last bomb" Nyamo said "good they will need all the help they can get" Satele said, "the
Republic shall send its best men to the planet now" a Republic admiral said "I wish I could join, but unfortunately I'm busy aiding the Republic in a space
battle above Makeb right now" Blasilver said. Both sides wished each other luck then ended the transmission "alright guys let's end this nightmare once for
all" Nyamo said as she got into the pilot seat to which everyone said "YEAH!" to in the most enthusiastic way possible.
As for the Sith trio after returning to the Imperial fleet which was under siege by the Republic forces they had a surprise meeting with CV-RN who had
effortlessly survived its battle with the Jedi "greetings take this" the droid said handing Tomo the holocron containing all the data on the rakghoul and the
bombs, "it's too dangerous to keep it on my ship for now, I want you to take it to these coordinates and remain and protect it there until further notice, you
too Kaizer" Malacard said informing the two young Sith "it will be done" Tomo said "yes Malacard" Kaizer said both bowing before the Sith lord "go"
Malacard said to them causing them to leave "and as for you Tyrannous, I want you to go to Correlia and assist Avia" Malacard informed Tyrannous "fine"
Tyrannous said he then immediately left "good thing Avia gave that too me to give to them, with your permission I wish to stay here and serve you" CV-RN
said, Malacard just looked at the droid and said "you may prove useful, you may stay". He then turned his attention to the space battle as the newly
promoted grand moff Kamineko joined him on the bridge to observe the space battle.
You know what 1 delusion I have for this story is? for it to get a mention on tv tropes website, I know its good (in my opinion anyway) but I know its not that good, and with just chapter 19 and chapter 20(the finale) to go all I can say is I hope you enjoyed this story folks!
