Mandrake stood in front of the two Padawans and heard the female speak. She was rather foolish and had no idea about what she spoke. Mandrake just looked at the two and his eyes began to glow even brighter. The Sith smiled and then spoke,"You have much to learn young Jedi. Light very rarely truly prevails. This will be the case tonight. You will not prevail, especially while I am here."

Mandrake just looked at the two and he could only smile. The Sith began to twirl his dual-bladed lightsaber in front of himself, leaving a red circular blur of light. He began to slowly move towards the two Padawans. Then, with a quick movement, he made a quick strike to Lily's right ribs, trying to slice her in half. With every second the attack came closer to the unprotected Padawan.

Sinking down in pain, visions of Sith flooded Omoi's psyche once more as she felt lacerations, as well as broken bones protruding through her mental barrier. Wavering, she slowly stood, shaking the thoughts out of her head as she traveled on with Hanix, now realizing it was Dirk injured as she heard his cries through the Force. But soon, the pains subsided... she could only hope it was Master Luis healing him. "Master Luis... I will heal Dirk further on the shuttle..." Omoi thought, hoping the rest of her team would hear her through the force. Sighing deeply, she looked over to Hanix running beside her. "Master Hanix... wouldn't now be a good time... to go back to the shuttle?" She asked him, her thoughts once more traveling through the Force.

Looking about, Omoi saw dust rising ahead, as well as flames, she could only assume that was where Dirk and Luis were now. Sighing deeply, she wiped the dirt and grime from about her eyes, quickening her pace to keep up with Hanix. Though, just to be safer, she held her lightsaber in hand, not activated, but keeping her finger everpresent against the activation button.

Two shrouded figures now appearred in the distance, and Omoi hoped to what gods there were that they were Luis and Dirk. Though, even as they were closing in on the two, Omoi couldn't help but feel uneasy about the situation, almost as if they were all being closely watched, ready to be attacked at any moment, but their defenses opening up, they'd have no real way to defend them selves against even a small barrage of firings. She also prayed to any gods that this was just paranoia... and not her empathy.

Hanix followewas followed by Omoi as they ran towards the shuttle. Then, Hanix stopped when he noticed two figures. He should have known who they were, but his judgement was clouded by this place. This place was filled with darkness and the darkside of the force. Hanix looked over to Omoi and spoke,"Omoi, prepare yourself. I can't tell who these people are but they could be trouble."

Silus smiled at the Jedi's words.

Obviously the Jedi are as foolish as I thought.

He swiftly attacked the other padawan, raising his hand. Blue lightning lept from his fingers, heading for the young Jedi. It was weak, and not as focused, as was Silus' skill with the Force. Still, deadly enough to cause harm to the foolish.

Justin watched as the two sith approached him and Lily. He could sense the anger and hatred in them as he glanced at Mandrake's red eyes. His father had been a sith, but, he had never felt as dark as the two standing in front of him.

Justin ignited his lightsaber and blocked the lightning streaking towards him. He could feel the anger and fear pertruding from the two men, but, he continued to focus on the Force, letting it clear his thoughts. He then watied patiently for the sith to make the next move.

Razer sat, watching Max dispose of the acolytes. He knew his master would come out victorious.

As the ship landed, Razer followed his master outside. He continued to let his anger and hate brood inside of him, waiting to be unleashed.

Silus quickly attacked Justin when he blocked the lightning. He brought his lightsaber down in a diagonal swipe at his shoulder.

"Tell me, Jedi, do you fear me?"

Justin glared into the hideous eyes of his attacker as he blocked with his saber. He could see the hatred in the sith's eyes.

"Do you fear me," the sith asked.

Justin continued to keep himself attuned to the Force as he replied.

"No, I do not. I do not fear you or the dark side."

He then kicked the sith in the stomach and brang his saber around to attack the sith's shoulder.

Zerxes strode from the vessel with a purposeful eye. Scanning around the area he located nothing of extreme significance. No jedi to fight. Nothing to kill. It was diappointing. Fortunately the enemy was not on Dxun.

"Master Chaos, what is our mission?"

Silus felt the kick to his stomach, and was thrown back a pace or two. He turned to the side, using his own saber to force Justin's down. The sith slammed into the Padawan with his shoulder, and did a quick thrust to his chest.

Silus smiled,"I can sense your hate. Give in to your feelings, Jedi. They will make you stronger."
