Solentz was riding high her new lover was fantastic, she would have to part way with him to grab her equipment while he reported his success. Solentz insisted that he keep her panties to remind him of her as she gave him a pair of plain pink panties.

She quickly grabbed her armour from storage along with her sniper rifle and cloaking generator as she rushed back to her lover's side, by the time she cought up with him he was ready for his next trial. his trail led them to the lower wilds, he was to hunt a Dark side beast loose in one of the lower tombs.

Solentz was eager to prove her skill, they took a quick taxi to the lower wild where they were approached by Acolyte Krevan. His master was doing some research and collecting bone marrow samples. He was also paying real money for samples. Solentz had agreed to help wanting to show her sniper skills to Aki teasing him that she could kill more then he could.

Aki took the challenge, a herd of wild Tukata oversized hounds roamed the lower wilds. Aki jumped into the middle of the herd drawing his Echani blades while Solentz aimed her rifle. A whirlwind of blades quickly followed by carefully selected sniper shots. Solentz was surprised just how fast Aki could move, her eyes couldn't keep up with him.

Solentz was no slough with her sniper rifle and scored some kills, they gathered the needed bone marrow samples from the corpses and made their way to their new employer. Lord Renning while eager for new samples was distraught for losing his latest test subject a Mutant Tukata.

Lord Renning explained his situation, his newest sample a rare mutant had escaped into the wild he wished to studying it for it would help him immensely I his studies. His apprentice Malora was brilliant in her own way but lacked vision and the skills needed to survive out in the tombs. So Aki was to do the job for her as he was qualified to handle the dangers. Aki was to get the details from her as it escaped on her watch while he tended to other subjects he was deeply displeased with her carelessness.

Aki questioned her about the whereabouts of the sample, Malora attempted to snare him in her schemes. She was unhappy I her current position and wished to be rid of her master. Aki was happy to help her with that problem b tot in the way she imagined. Quickly Aki excreted his influence over her overriding her weak resistance to the Force manipulation.

Solentz watched the petite Sith she measured Malora's assets noting her tiny frame and small B cup breasts This was also where the imperial soldiers were going crazy, so they had to keep an eye out for them.

Trekking into the tombs after the lost pet they had come across not one imperial soldier but dozens of corpses charred. They appeared to have been victims to lightning storms. Aki felt the distant Echo of a familiar presence.

Aki just chuckled he recognized Juno's handwork any where he was wondering when he would catch up to her, she allows loved ancient Artifacts. He enjoyed the Sith purebloods company immensely when they trained together but he knew better then getting in between her and a fresh dig site or her research.

The feisty Red hair Juno would always insist on trying new techniques on him. Aki shudder at remembering her learning force lightning. She had helped him learn speed and reflex augmentation technique's.

Flashback

10-year-old Aki had been training out in the family training fields when Juno approached him eagerly as if she learned some great and mighty force technique. She always insisted on testing each and every force techniques on him after she learned he was highly resistant to force technique's. So naturally when a cheerful and eager Juno Approached him he shuddered.

"Aki Aki,Aki I need your help" pleaded the 9-year-old Pureblood as she gave Aki the dreaded puppy eyes. The Redhead was always eager to show off her skills to Aki.

" I learned this neat trick and I need you help perfecting it, please pretty please will you help me," Juno pouted in the cutest way she could manage

"Sarcastic commentary, Master Akihiko you have nothing to worry about Mistress Juno merely wishes to turn you into a human lightning rod." Hk-47 their escort walking behind her exclaimed.

"what gives Aki were you hiding from little old me, I was looking for you every where. I already said I was sorry for accidently setting your hair on fire. Besides I did heal your wounds and your hair will grow back in a few weeks.

It will also help you learn to those new techniques Darth Inferno was teaching you I promise" smiled Juno with the scariest smile he had ever seen in his short life. He gulped

"Amusement: I assure you Master Akihiko, you have nothing to fear. I will not allow Mistress Juno to cause you any permanent damage,

Comforting remark: you could use the practice Master it will do you some good."

Trusting the Assassin/bodyguard droid's words he reluctantly agreed only to spend the rest of the day dodging lightning bolts.

Flash back end

The Tomb the beast crawled into was infested with those damned Slugs he was glad he finally learned force storm never really bothering to learn it growing up.

A quick lighting storm had cleared the tomb quite nicely the critters didn't have enough time to dig in and for that he was grateful. Deep in the tomb passed the now charred remains of the oversized Slugs he spotted the Mutant Tukata it was a magnificent specimen it would surely yield valuable results. Aki could feel the dark side energy radiating from the beast.

Facing the beast in battle Aki leaped straight towards it while Solentz shot its legs from under it beheading the beast with his Echani blades careful to avoid damaging it's brain the part that the Sith lord was eager to dissect.

Since they were right next door to the tomb of Marka Ragnos where their main prey went Aki decided to swing by it. Aki quickly noticed the recent carnage as he felt a familiar presence nearby. He must only be slightly behind Juno, she would never let him live it down if she completed her trials before him.

He ordered Solentz to go ahead and take the sample to Lord Renning While he faced the beast alone. A simply chore that would likely cost him the services of Malora. He stilled his passions he couldn't afford to get distracted now.

The Beast of Marka Ragnos was certainly fierce, it was also enormous standing at 10 feet tall and Heavily armoured. He recognised the species. Aki was facing a serious dilemma now his blades weren't up for the challenge, he was sure he could kill. It would take a battle of attrition to simply by pass its natural regenerative abilities even with his force speed. It would prove costly in both time ad energy and he would likely need to rest to catch his breath.

Waiting for the right moment to strike, Aki swallowed his pride. The beast unaware of the danger in front of it moved forward letting a mighty roar from its gigantic mouth. That gave Aki the opening he was looking for. Leaping over the creature his forced enhanced his speed and his reflexes allowed him to throw a package of thermal detonators down it's throat. The second he hit the ground he bolted only seconds away from the explosion as the creatures remains where blown across the tomb providing some nice refreshing change in decorations.

He met Solentz on the way back to the academy she had a smug look on her face when she handed him a pair of purple panties. He wondered whose panties those were on the way to the Academy.

Dolgis, Vemrin's lackey had taken the chance to ambush them in a side alley over confident that he could take him, he had a couple of goons hidden away in the halls to even the odds. Over confidence was his down fall, his goons where disposed of before he could even move. Malora had appeared from the shadows behind one the goons stabbing him in the hear with a dagger, while Solentz hit her mark with a poison blade she threw with deadly precision. Dolgis didn't even know what hit him before he too joined his comrades in death. Aki had plunged his hands into his heart ripping it out of his chest.

The second he stepped into Tremel's office, Tremel briefed him. "We don't have any time to spare. Lord Bara's has summoned you into his Office, he is acting quicker then anticipated be on your guard."

The Overseer was deeply worried at the tur event having banked on having more time to prepare his acolyte.

Solentz and Malora had both waited outside the office so neither knew what was in store for Aki.

Aki informed them of the development.

"I have been summoned to meet with Lord Baras, he's the Sith lord who apprenticeship I am attempting to earn through these trials." Spoke Aki

Solentz was elated he was moving up in the world and was one step closer to becoming a full fledge Sith, she knew graduating from the Sith Academy on Korriban along with an apprenticeship to such powerful Sith lord was very prestigious. Solentz was aware of Lord Bara's reputation as some sort of spy master.

Malora was very nervous, she didn't know much about Darth Bara's but she too earned the attention of a Sith lord who turned out to be raving mad. What scared her and kept her serving the Mad Sith, running his crude medical experiments to soothe echo was that he wasn't even the worst Sith Lord out there. There was far more dangerous post near the front lines and more ambitious apprentices willing to use her as a stepping stone or as an obstacle to be removed.

They were approached by yet another group of Acolytes led by a knock out, a tiny dark-haired brunette with pale skin and a nice set of C Cups that really stood out on her tiny form. Aki really hoped he wouldn't have to kill them.

"Look sharp boys this is our chance, hey we heard that you're the big shot that got under Vemrin's skin and that you even got a private audience with Lord Bara's himself. My name is Phyne these are my boys, we want to get o your good side show you want we can do. Let us prove our selves by sparring with us."

Aki was delighted at the prospected and nodded in agreement. The 19 year old could have beaten them all by simply activating Grandmaster force speed before they could even blink but he wanted to test their full abilities.

The four Acolytes entered into the battle showcasing strong determination and passion, they had some skill but were largely untrained. Aki demolished them using nothing but advanced Echani battle forms. With quick precision strikes he danced around them with grace and agility. Aki was training to fight since he could first walk so it wasn't a surprise to him that they would be outmatched. To the onlookers it appeared as if he was dancing, the battle was soon over.

Aki congratulated them on their stamina and staying power, he mentioned while they weren't on the same league as him or Vemrin they could be with proper training and if they gained more combat experience. Aki recruited them advising patience that those like Vemrin while powerful were like a fire burning brightly but ultimately burned them selves out.

Something about Aki had made Phyne incredibly horny, she was impressed with his charisma ad was determine to slay his beast before any of his little group would beat her to it.

Lord Baras verbally tore into him the second he stepped into his office.

"Let me get a good look at you, As I suspected overseer tremel has done you and the academy a great disservice.

Your war-blade has come early, Prisoners were flown in for your convenience. The pacing of the trials is deliberate. Only full immersion produces results. Your mind is soft, un-honed and undisciplined."

Aki spoke up passionately disagreeing

"The First Month is should be reserved for philosophy, tactics and understanding the Sith code. Recite the Sith Code."

"There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no Chaos there is harmony. There is no death, there is the force."

Lord Baras was getting angrier but the minute but was careful of not showing it, He had intended to have set the Acolyte on the Overseer, but the Overseer had the gall and outrage to teach the Jedi code in place of the Sith. Such outrage had to been dealt with immediately.

"Your skill is undeniable but your readiness and understanding of the Sith ways is pitiful. Overseer Tremel has committed treason and traitors deserve nothing but death. You are to kill him, return to me when the deed is done with his severed hand as proof. "

After his meeting, Phyne was eager for orders (Only Aki had gone into the meeting) She was eager to prove herself and to set herself apart from her competition.

Aki turned around and could see the eagerness in their eyes, they were looking for a challenge to prove themselves. He suggested that there was an infestation of giant Slugs in the tombs, those tombs may contain artifacts and teachings of the Ancient Sith. Their task would be to locate a tomb and cleanse it of its infestation claiming, properly identifying its contents and seizing its valuables.

This mission would require some detective work finding the tomb along with skill in combat, it would prove a valuable learning experience he assigned both Solentz and Malora as back up, no need to risk them in a simple task. Aki made sure to teach them a couple of basic but very valuable force techniques before sending them off., giving them something to practice on their mission.

"listen carefully, concentrate ad focus on the force inside your body. The force can be used to quicken your very reflexes it can make you faster ad more agile but it isn't a substitute for developing your body. The force will enhance your skills and abilities but the stronger you are with them the stronger the force will make you.

Aki stated as he showed them the basics of force speed and force Armour it would take them a while to properly learn those techniques, but he felt it would pay off in the long run.
