Kahn didn't hesitate in his answer, though his guard was fully up now, ready to ignite his saber once again if he had to.

"No, I do not."

"Then you're GUILTY."

"Punishment.. is DEATH."

*The smoke cloud disspeared, and the cloak was split off the figure, whom was holding a saber. Kahn couldn't believe it. He could not only sense it, but now saw.. Lord Psychic.*

Miss me, Kahn?

*Psy spun around with his saber, clashing it into Kahn's own, whom was now ready to defend himself. Psy backed up and bit.*

You fool. I gave you the chance to live a great, rich life in which you would eventually get what you wanted. Now all you get is what you deserve.

Kahn was shocked, but he used the Force to aid a little in pushing off against Psy, sending him back a few feet, as well as jumping back a little and assuming a defensive stance.

"How would I get what I wanted, Psy? How do you even know what I want?"

Becuase Kahn told me. You are not Kahn. Kahn died, a long, long time ago.

*A few swings here and there with the lightsaber, but nothing too spectacular. Dirt flew into Kahn's eyes suddenely.. he winced, and Psy kicked Kahn in the chest, down onto the ground. He was quick to recooperate, and stood back up and quickly used his saber to push Psy's own away.*

Kahn moved in low, aiming a slash at Psy's midsection. It wasn't a blow meant to kill, only injure.

"No, you're wrong, my friend. This is the true Kahn, the Kahn who got buried under the Dark for a time. Why can't you realize that?"

*Psy blocks the blow, and uses his saber to slash at Psy's arm. While Kahn blocks it, Psy knees him in the stomach, causing him to go back some.*

*Psy was growing more angry and more powerful with every moment of it.*

Why?! WHY?! Because after all I taught you, all we went through together, you turn your back on me, TSO and the dark side.

I took you in, treated with you with respect, introduced you too and taught you of the Force. And you leave me.

Kahn calmed his breathing and moved into a defensive position. He hadn't felt too good, leaving TSO, but he had had to do it. His voice was sincere when he spoke to Psychic.

"Just as you must denounce the Light, I must do so with the Dark. A Sith is not what I am destined to be. It is not a matter of turning my back on Sith, it's a matter of fate. I never wanted to cause you pain, but what you feel is nothing to what some innocents would have felt if I had killed their loved ones as a Sith."

You did not have to, Kahn. It was you're decision. You're decision to leave those who once trusted in the dirt. The Sith don't do it, and many consider them the lowest of beings in the galaxy. Yet, we stay loyal to one another. Which is more than I can say for YOU.

*Psy uses his free hand and pulls something out of his utility belt, clenching it, and then holding it up to show Kahn.*

Perhaps you remember this?

*It was Kahn's ring given to him by his mother.. thought to be lost a long ago, but Psy retrieved it, unscratched, from the TSO base rubble.*

Kahn unconciously took a step back, surprised. The ring had been the only thing his mother had left him right before she was murdered. It was something he had almost forgotten, something he had believed to have been lost when TSO had been attacked and the living quarters had collapsed. Now, it brought back memories in more vivid detail. However, Kahn forced himself to remain calm, letting the memories filter through his mind.

"Yes, I do. Why do you have it, and what do you intend on doing with it?"

I have your ring only because I found it after the TSO Sith palace was destroyed, at which point you left.

This must have a lot of meaning to you. I'm sure it brings back memories of awful torture and misery by Jabba and the Sith who beat you. Does it make you mad? I mean, after all those scars.. all that labor.. and then, how your mother was brutally murdered..
