I woke up from the Force sensing a sign of danger in one of the towers in the Jedi Temple. I got up and tightened the loincloth to my body. I looked to Rooda, she got up and tucked the straps over her body, and tightening her loincloth to her hips.

"What's wrong, Eyt?" She looked at me, worried.

"I felt something in the Force. Might be trouble. I'm going to take a look." I grabbed my darksaber, Rooda grabbed her lightspear and we both opened the door. Rakine wasn't there.

"Rakine?" I tried to call quietly for him. No response. I closed my eyes and let the Force guide me to him. He is in one of the Jedi Temple's towers. I thought I should go and find the way up. While leaving the living quarters, Rooda and I looked in a window connecting to the hangar.

"Rooda, I'm going to find Rakine. I'm going to that tower." I pointed at a tower at the top of the Jedi Temple, the one I sensed him in. "I want you to go to that ship," I lowered my hand and pointed to the ship nearest to the door. "Take that ship and when I get to him, come and pick us up."

"Yes, Eyt."

She nodded and opened the door to the hangar. "Good luck." The door closed behind her and I watched her run to the ship as its door opened. She stepped in, looked back at me and she held a hoofed hand in the air to me, with the Zant goodbye gesture, holding a hand up with both fingers outstretched, with the thumb pointing downward. The sign made by the hand makes the shape of the English letter "K". I waved back to her as she searched for the way to open the door, before finding a control panel that opens the door. When she hit it, the door opened and she slowly walked in. The door closed behind her and the ship lifted from the floor. I went on to find Rakine.

"How do I get up there?"

I looked back at the tower. The signs of danger grew the closer I got towards the tower. I sniffed the air and picked up the scent of Rakine. Following it with my keen senses, now improved with the Force, I ran past the vast hangar and climbed the staircase to the Natural Spire. When I reached the spire, I dragged my left hand across the smooth rock, the Force strengthening in me as I ran along the hallway. The sign of evil in the Jedi Temple strengthened as well. I could figure out quickly, his Dark Side is now in control, and it's possessed his body into leaving me and Rooda in the bedroom as he walked off.

"Why did his master have to be so shock-happy?"

I ran down the circular hall surrounding the Natural Spire and reached the straightened hall to the broken elevator. Once I poked my head in the shaft and looked up, the sign grew. My senses also tell me he has jumped up a floor in the shaft. I closed my eyes and with the Force tremoring through my body, I felt strength in my hoofed legs. I jumped in the shaft and I felt the Force pick me up and I flew into the doorway on the higher floor. I looked back down in utter amazement. I just Forced jumped.

"Rakine?"

I called his name once more before reaching the base of the tower. I looked up at another elevator shaft, and felt the elevator already at the top. I Force jumped to one of the walls, rebounded off, and jumped from wall to wall, up to the top of the shaft. I grabbed the bottom of the elevator and took my darksaber from between my loincloth and my waist with my free hand, and sliced a hole in the floor of the elevator, watching the circular chunk of elevator floor plummet to the floor of the shaft below. I jumped through the hole in the elevator and exited the shaft safely. Feeling Rakine just above, I climbed the spiral staircase to the room just above.

"Rakine, what are you doing up here-" I suddenly stop at the top of the staircase, watching him stand in the middle of the room. All the chairs in the room are turned to face him in the center. I listen carefully as he quietly murmurs about the Jedi High Council and the rise of the Empire.

"The Empire will rise from the death of the Jedi-" he raises an arm in the air and he suddenly returns to his conscious self, lowering his arm. "No, the rebels will fight and Jedi will return to crush the Empire." He's in an argument with his Dark Side. Fear. Anger. Hate. It's surging throughout his head, the Dark Side has possessed him.

"Rakine, what is wrong with you?"

He turns around to me, his eyes turning yellow and red, the signs of the Dark Side itself.

"Eyt, remember, I am your master. And you will address me so." I hear him as the Dark Side begins to form aggression in his hand as he reaches for his lightsaber.

"You're being corrupted, Master Rakine. You cannot let this Dark Side take you over." I backed away to the staircase.

Rakine walks slowly over to me, his eyes returning to normal and he speaks to me with a warning.

"Eyt, run. I don't think I am allowed in here. It's the Dark Side- my old Sith master- it- he-" His eyes turn back into the Dark Side colors as he chuckles threateningly and raises his red lightsaber.

He immediately swung at me, barely giving me enough time to activate my darksaber and repel the attack. I Force pushed him into a chair and looked out the window to see Rooda in the ship, floating down to a small landing strip at the side of the tower. I run down the staircase to avoid Rakine's reckless swings, and when I push his saber away, he sends me into the elevator with a Force shove. When I look up and see him charging at me, I slip through the hole in the floor of the elevator, and by sticking the blade of my darksaber through the wall of the shaft, the fall begins to slow down. Rakin above, pulls out his blaster and shoots to me. I jumped off the wall with my saber in my hand, and drop to the floor. He shoots a bolt again and I deflect it as I run out of his sight. All I can do to avoid a fight possibly to the death, is to run.

And so I do. I ran to the broken elevator shaft and quickly grab the floor with my left hand, swinging from one floor down to the next. I somersault right when I hit the floor and in front of me, Rakine splits a circular hole in the ceiling and drops before I make it to the training rooms. He shoots again and I swing my blade, deflecting the shot, the bolt flies back into the barrel of the blaster, breaking the gun entirely. I chuckled but when he drew his lightsaber, it was no laughing matter.

The power of the Dark Side must have grown stronger in him when we reached the Jedi Temple, that it took his body over, and now he wants to kill me. I have no choice but to engage him in combat. Our black a d red blades hiss and crack each time we hit each other. I manage to get past him, and to stop any further attacks, I try to Force shove him, but he does the same thing. We both throw each other in opposite directions, Rakine flies toward the broken elevator shaft and I am flung over the stairway and across the floor. My darksaber deactivates as it hits the floor and it rolls away. I get up and Rakine has jumped from the top of the stairway. I quickly run down the hall, grab my darksaber, and run into a training room full of weapons. Of the many weapons laid out in the room, I put my darksaber between my loincloth and my waist, and Force pull an old Jedi arm brace on my right arm, and a slightly larger lightsaber in my left hand. I activate both and a large blue blade grows from the lightsaber in my hand. The blade is three times bigger than a typical blade. The arm brace activates into a light blue shield on my arm, the shield the same material as the blade. I turn around and Rakine enters with a raise of his hand. I block his Force lightning with my shield and swing my greatsaber at him, only for him to counter. I Force jumped over him and slowly backed up as he keeps banging his blade against my shield. He suddenly moves so fast, possibly with the Force, around me and swings his blade at least four times. I feel each swing chop my antlers in half, the back of my head getting lighter. I turn around and see four of my antler spikes on the floor of the training hall.

My long, jagged, spider-like antlers were one of the most important things I ever had to keep. On Zant, the length and size of a Zan-Deer stag's antlers represented their courage, their ferocity, their masculinity. One thing a stag or buck needed to be a warrior was large, threatening antlers. And now without them, I might just lose my place in Randin Village.

I'm suddenly engulfed great anger as I feel the base of my antlers where the fresh slices were made. I began to recklessly swing at Rakine and even scream loudly in my own rage. I'm thrashing the greatsaber at Rakine, he can barely block the attacks and only Force push me away. After I'm pushed away, he jumps over my head and chops off more of my antler spikes. I backed up and watched him jump over my head, I Force push him up into the ceiling with my free hand. He landed back on the floor, and Force jumped back up on his feet. I rushed him with the shield and he swung his red blade as I back away. His blade scrapes across the arm brace and the shield flies off my arm, broken. I jumped back, swung the greatsaber to my side, and then swung it in front of me, while releasing it from my grip. When I threw the entire greatsaber at Rakine, he quickly somersaulted under the big blue, spinning blade as it spun like a bright blue disc. Rakine watched me as I instantly drew my darksaber, and slowly walked toward him.

"So, it's a fight you want."

The possessed Rakine chuckled and walked slowly toward me. He shot his hand out in front of him and shot me right out of the training area and at a window. I rolled across the floor, picked up my darksaber with the Force, and jumped back up. Rakine dashed to me and swung his lightsaber, and quickly ducked back and kicked him in the stomach, knocking him on the ground. I jumped up, about to do a finishing stab, but he rolled out from under and kicked me in the jaw, knocking me away. I quickly spun back and our blades continued to cross. With each hack and slice eventually just each each others blades, Rakine decided to sweep his foot under my legs, knocking me back, sending me on the floor. He jumps up to try a finisher, but I roll backward and get back up, my back against a glass wall, overlooking the rest of Coruscant, Rakine stood back up and Force pushed me through the glass wall.

Sending myself, my darksaber, and millions of glass shards out of the Jedi Temple and I'm rolling down the sloped side of the massive building. I Force jumped up and caught myself on my hoofed feet, and I began running down the side of the temple. I turned my head and saw, over my left shoulder, Rakine jump after me with a large metal sheet, and when he landed on the side, he surfed his way down to me, spinning his red lightsaber in his hand. I ignited my darksaber and readied myself to continue the battle on the wall of the Jedi Temple. When Rakine slid down toward me, slowly catching up, I force jumped off the wall and landed back on the ground, in the streets of Coruscant.

I looked up at Rakine as he jumped over my head and came down, I Force kicked him further away. I hear the gasps and murmuring as the citizens of Coruscant watching this brawl. Rakine jumped up and Force threw me into the wall of the Jedi Temple, knocking me down to the ground. He Force jumped above me and as I rolled out from under him and stood up, he landed and immediately swung into my head, striking my antlers at the base and completely chopping them off of my head. I fell to the ground and rolled away from him, jumped back up and I Force threw the metal sheet he slid on back at him. He quickly jumped over and I reached for a metal garbage bin to Force throw when he landed. But with the swing of his red lightsaber, he split the entire garbage bin in half. Both halves roll by his feet on opposite sides, slowly spilling their contents on the ground. He Force rushed to me, striking my darksaber and knocking it completely out of my grasp. I bounced back and as he held out his hand to me, the Force lightning consumed my body. I tried to reach for my darksaber with the Force to repel the electrical blast, and once I received my blade again, he stopped. He glared and struck lightning at me again, but with more aggression and hatred, making the lightning unpredictable. His blasts are strong enough to keep me away, but, soon the sign of danger in the Force began fading. When I see his eyes slowly return to their normal state, his regular green eyes, he stares in utter horror and stops electrocuting me.

I've grown so weak that I'm stumbling on my feet, trying to move closer to Rakine, but when I hold my darksaber to him, I dropped it, deactivating before hitting the ground. I sunk down on one knee, then the other, and my pained body came down to the ground. The last thing I saw was Rakine back away in horror, hold his head in his hands, and run away, with a panicked "What have I done?" before running off, and I see Rooda's ship has closely landed nearby. The citizens back up as the door opens and Rooda runs to me. All I heard was her panicked voice as she knelt down by my side before I began blacking out from the intense pain I've endured.

"Eyt!"
