Chikami sits quietly for a moment. Wondering what exactly did set him off. Giving his thoughts a moment to form Chikami looks at Malice.

"Actually I find this a very difficult question to answer, but I will give it my best. As you know, I currently remember nothing from my past or even how I came to carry my saber which has been crudely destroyed. Then one day I am sitting in my quarters studying and a message comes for me. It is from someone who will not identify themselves, and claims to know about my past...and my future. I don't even know what I will do from one day to the next, but still this 'person' claims to know. That is what bothers me. That is why I am going to Illum."

Chikami looked out the port-side window staring into the vastness of space.

Chikami was about to say something else when the ships computer sounded an alert. Rushing to the pilots seat Chikami resumed command of the ship, and found the problem. "Awww @#%$ I forgot to compensate for the asteroid feild. Hope my luck holds. Here goes."

Pushing the thrusters wide open Chikami barrells into the asteroid field.

"Yo Malice, better buckle up we are in for a rough ride."

Chikami lets the force guide his moves as he passes the line of no retreat. Swerving left Chikami dodges a large rock, but as he rounds the corner he immediately dives to miss another. Sweat begins to form on Chikami's brow as he nimbly weaves his way through the asteroid field.

-/| 15 minutes later |\-

Having finally cleared the last of the asteroid field Chikami relaxes a little and wipes the sweat off his brow, but it does him little good as he is still far to high on adrenaline to truly calm down. Running a systems check it turns out that the Blood Frenzy only suffered minor cosmetic damage and all systems are green. Pulling up a map of the system Chikami locates himself and looks for new 'obstacles'. Seeing that the path is now clear Chikami re-plots the auto-pilot path and sets the hyperdrive. Taking one last look at his surroundings Chikami initializes the auto-pilot and warning systems before falling asleep in the command chair.

-/| 6 hours 45 minutes later |\-

The systems start beeping again, but this time it is an old familiar sound. It was that of hyperspace exit. "Ah, finally i have reached Illum. It'll be just a few short days from now and I'll have a brand new hand-crafted lightsaber."

Entering the atmosphere Chikami reclaimed control of the Sith Infiltrator "Blood Frenzy" and with no difficulty compared to that asteroid charade safely touched down in a relatively flat canyon.

Running a planetary scan Chikami found that the entire world was covered in snow and ice. Lifeforms were very few and almost none posed a threat to the battle hardened Sith Knight. The temperature reading was the last to come into the screen sitting quite frigid at -25° Farenheit.

"Whoa...frigid...well I guess I shouldn't have expected anything else..."

Chikami turned the ships cloaking and defense systems on high-alert before getting up. Moving quickly around the ship he collects a few items he would need. A moblie comm unit to 'talk' to the ship, a few thermal detonators, and his heavy black cloak.

Hitting the hatch button Chikami is chilled to the bone as air from the outside rushes into the cabin. Pulling the cloak around him and the hood up Chikami calmly walks down the ramp and onto the snow. Closing the hatch to preserve any heat left inside Chikami walks off into the snowfield.

Moving deeper into the massive plains of snow Chikami pulls his cloak around himself a little tighter. The cold was starting to get to the Sith Knight. Chikami began talking to himself as he walked knowing that there was nothing around that would bother him.

"Hmmm...The cave is just a little further ahead, and off to the right..."

Chikami adjusts his heading to where he feels the force most strongly. Walking for a little while Chikami finally reaches the mouth of the cave. The cave radiated an aura of force power both dark and lightside swirling together. It was truly a strange feeling.

Chikami loosened his cloak knowing full well that it will be warmer inside.

Upon stepping inside the cave the waves of force rush over Chikami, making him fight just to remain concious. Delving deeper into the cave Chikami reaches the place described to him within the holocron. The crystal cavern. The force here was unbearable even to Chikami and he fell into unconciousness.

-/| Force Induced Hallucination |\-

Chikami found himself within the dank dark swamp forests of Dathomir. Chikami recognized the place, but wasn't sure why. As far as he knew he had never been to Dathomir. Chikami represses the feeling of deja'vu and picks himself up off the ground. Walking for some time Chikami thinks to himself

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> "This place doesn't seem to be as bad as I have heard. Actually I kinda like it here. It's dark, warm, and there is plenty of darkside energy. There I suppose is always the threat of a Rancor, but I have yet to see one."<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Wandering deeper into the swamps Chikami finds himself on the edge of a small village. Supressing his force signature Chikami watches for a breif time from his hiding place in the undergrowth. The village seems fairly normal, but it was shrouded in the darkside. This pleased Chikami, but yet at the same time it unsettled him as well. As the sun began to set a gong sounded across the village, and everyone stopped what they where doing and gathered in the square. A woman came out of a nearby house dressed in fine robes of a near black color with a dark blue trim. Stepping up onto the podium she called out "Elazul Darkwynd step forward, and bring that trouble making son with you."

Chikami's mind began racing with the thoughts of he may have actually found his long lost family, and within a highly darkside influenced culture. Not giving away his position yet Chikami continues to watch.

The woman spoke again pointing to a young boy with wild silver hair. "You, young Chikami, are a trouble maker. I will have no more of you or your shenanigans. You are to be sacrificed tonight to appease the Dark Goddess. Elazul for your sons treachery you and the rest of your family are hereby banished into the wilds. Leave now." She looks down at the young boy. "Guards take him to the holding cell." At that time two more females stepped out from in front of the platform and grabbed the boy escorting him out of sight.

Chikami left his hiding place at this time as the village began their nightly business. He moved quietly around the village continuing to mask his prescence as he went. Chikami quickly found the cage where 'he' was being held. One of the females threatened to go ahead and kill him now if he didn't cooperate pointing a dark purple lightsaber at his chest. The boy grudgingly climbed into the cage and once the dorr was closed spit in the guards eye saying "You wont kill me. If you do that freaky @#%$ on the podium will turn around and kill you for taking away the joy of plunging that dagger into my heart."

Moving ever closer Chikami waited until the extra guard left. Once she was gone he moved quickly out of the swamp, and grabbed the threatening female. Catching a breif glimpse of the boys face Chikami again felt that sense of deja'vu. Taking out and arming a thermal detonator Chikami shoved it into the womans mouth. Fighting with her for a moment Chikami get her to swallow it. Time was running out before that thing blew and knowing this Chikami grabbed the sabre clipped to her belt and threw her aided by the force deep into the swamp. Moments later an explosion is heard.

Grinning sadisticly Chikami knew exactly what had happened. Looking into the cage Chikami had a strange feeling of memory as to who the boy was but it quickly faded. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> "This child...he has my face, but surely not even for us time travel is not possible...Yet somehow nothing here seems odd...and that name Elazul...vaguely familiar but I'm not sure why...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Pushing his thoughts aside Chikami says to 'Chikami' "Stay here there may not be a sacrifice after all." Turning and heading into town Chikami hears a smart-alleck voice trailing behind him "Like I can really go anywhere, @#%$." Chikami grinned evily at the comment <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> "I like this kids style. He may be useful maybe I'll take him as an apprentice."<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Igniting the dark purple saber Chikami walks into town no longer hiding his prescence. A rush of darkside energy pours over Chikami as he climbs the platform. A group of female force users approach him shouting curses and brandishing dark purple lightsabers. Coordinating their attacks the females rush Chikami. Taking the defensive for now Chikami begins blocking saber strikes from all around him, and the battle quickly leaves the platform. Falling into the rhythm of battle Chikami begins slashing back at his adversaries. Connecting soundly with one of the females she dissapates in a cloud of smoke. Chikami continues blocking and returning strikes until all of the threats had dissapated.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> "They vanished in a puff of smoke...as if they weren't even real."<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

At this moment the entire world gets fuzzy as if shifting. It goes from fuzzy to a total blur like that in hyperspace. The blur returns to fuzz and then solidifies again. Chikami is no longer standing on Dathomir, but the desert wastes of Tatooine. He knew this place well enough he had been here multiple times recently.

Looking around Chikami saw a town out on the horizon, and by the number of starships going in and out he guessed it to be Mos Eisley. Walking towards the town Chikami reached down and found that the saber he had taken from that strange woman was gone.

Walking into town Chikami found that it was slightly different than he remebered. Almost as if they had downgraded a few things. Very odd. Walking into his favorite tavern Chikami found the place in an uproar. It seems that some teenage punk with silver hair was causing problems and accumulating quite a large bill. Looking over Chikami nearly slammed his head onto the bar as he saw who the young man was.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> "That is the same boy from Dathomir...and he still has my face...it is even closer to mine than before...could it be that I am not really here, but somehow re-living my memories locked deep inside myself...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Shaking his head Chikami lets out a deafening shout and wakes up.

-/| End Hallucination |\-

Chikami is sitting and the cool cavern floor. He is breathing very hard, and has removed his cloak. In his hands he holds a lightsaber, double bladed by the looks of it. His body is completely tired, but he forces himself to stand. Igniting the saber Chikami finds it to be the same dark purple color of the ones the females where using. "Interesting" was all he said as he gave it a few swings to see how it felt. Igniting the other end it was the same dark purple color. The balance was perfect as he began going through some rudimentary saber exercises testing it out. De-igniting the second end Chikami continues practicing with the first for a moment longer. Twisting the end near the blade Chikami watched as the blade of the saber doubled in length. Trying out this new saber Chikami found it to his liking. He returns the blade to its normal length with another twist, and grins evilly.

Just when Chikami thought the saber couldn't get any better ha notices something else odd about it. Twisting the saber again this time in the center Chikami found that it became two sabers. Now grinning sadistically Chikami quickly returns the saber to its double bladed glory he begins the long hike back to the ship.

Nearing the ship Chikami stops for a moment and activates his wrist datapad. Punching in a few commands the ship springs back to life. Closing the datapad Chikami finishes the last quarter mile leg of his journey.

Stepping up to the hull Chikami opens the ships hatch and proceeds inside. Quickly closing the hatch once he gets inside Chikami glances about the ship making sure nothing happened while he was out.

Chikami removes his cloak and tosses it into a nearby seat. Taking his spot at the helm Chikami runs a diagnostics check. Satisfied when all systems come up green Chikami prepares for departure. Lifting off the frozen tundra of Illum Chikami plots the course home to Xa'Fel. Breaching the atmosphere Chikami begins setting the security systems and auto-pilot functions to alert him if anything odd happens during the flight.

-/| Hyperspace |\-

The <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Blood Frenzy<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> enters hyperspace smoothly the stars streaming past more like lines than small specks. Chikami slips into a light troubled sleep. Images from his all to real hallucination filter back up to him and plague his much needed rest.

Hours later the computer alerted Chikami that they were leaving hyperspace near Xa'Fel. The computer also indicated that a lifeform had stowed away on the ship, and by its shape it is assumed to be an infantile acklay. Chikami put the creature out of his mind for now and focused on landing. Approaching the hangar Chikami had done this many times, but it never seemed to get any easier. With a hiss the ship come to rest upon the hangar floor and Chikami powers the ship down. Placing his cloak back on Chikami searches for his little stow-away.

Subduing the creature Chikami takes it back to his room where he places it in a cage to be used for experiments later.
