They walked into the main part of hte house, not trying to even keep cover as they walked through, acasionally a servant or guard would see them but with a slight movement of the blade, the guard would be dead or would be fleeing as fast as he could.

"It won't be this easy Janus, not for long"

Noktu sensed out for his sister, a familiar presence could be felt in a hall to the right, "Janus to the right I will go to the left, goto the first door on the left, she's in there. There are many guards to the left I will take personal pleasure in taking care of that threat"

"Sure whatever."

Janus went down the right hallway. In not to long Janus found the door that Noktu had indicated. There were no guards on the outside, he supposed they were inside the room. Janus knocked loudly on the door. As the door was opened by a guard, Janus disappeared.

The guard looked around. He was sure he had heard a knock. Suddenly the man was dicapitated, and a presense stepped into the room, unseen...

Noktu ran down the hall both his sabers out now, guards were fleeing all around him, soon he ran into a large chamber and cursed, all around him were hundreds of guards, led my a red cloaked man bandishing a saber. The man stepped forward signalling his guards to stop before speaking...

"Welcome Noktu, so we meet again, for I am Yanus former sith knight, shall we finish what you attempted all those years ago?"

The woman sat on the floor, undernourished, and tied up, watching as the remaining 5 guards were systematically dismembered. She was frightened beyond belief, wondering what could happen next...

Janus laid waste to the pathetic guards, with glee in his mind. It had been awhile since he had given into his lust for random murder. He first removed every single guards' right arm, followed by the left, followed by both legs at once. He finished them off mercifully in their moments of pure and true pain, and reveled in their squeals. He turned looking for more victims and found a semiattractive, undernourished woman, long legs, ample upper body, and long dark hair. She had the same nose and lips of her brother. Janus removed his invisibility.

She gasped. The man looked strangely familiar, in his black cloak, shirt, and pants, and the scar across his cheek. Yet completely sinister, an evil glint in his eyes. But almost as suddenly as he had appeared to her, the glint disappeared, replaced by a searching eye. He spoke, in a rich, deep baritone, with a calming attribute.

"You must be Bane's little sister?"

He smiled, not an evil smile, like Jyanus' men had when they looked and spoke to her of the unspeakable things they planned, though Jyanus had been merciful enough to keep them from doing any of it. This man's smile was warm, and polite, and most of all, reassuring...

Noktu growled at the comments and slashed at the man. His silvery blade slashed right through the man. Noktu stared in astonishment, and withdrew his blade as the image disappeared. and the real image appeared 5ft beyond him.

"You didn't think I'd appear that close to you fool, you wont escape alive from here you know, first your sister then you this will be great." he brought his blade to bear and slashed at Noktu's waste.

"I will not fail in my mission Jyanus, I will not fail myself again." and with a quick motion Noktu waved his silver saber and blocked the blade and he brought his crimson blade in a wide arc slashing at Jyanus

"Let's get these ropes off you then?" he asked quietly in his rich voice.

The dark man bent over her, and reached into the folds of his cloak. She flinched as he withdrew a small knife, thinking that he might kill her right there. But he didn't, he used this knife to cut the ropes that bound her arms and legs.

He looked deeply into her eyes, and spoke again, his voice calming her wrought nerves, "Are you ok? Can you walk?"

She nodded, not speaking. So many things flew through her mind, would Jyanus find them? How did he know her brother? What was his interest in her? Why was he here? But above all, she was captivated by him. He was handsome and a her hero.

She looked at him strangely from the moment he had appeared, as he looked into her eyes, he started to delve into her mind, and he heard exactly what she was thinking. He couldn't help but smile to himself. "She we get off this floor then?"

She smiled as he stood up straight, bent over, and slipped his left hand under her left armpit. She marveled at his strength as he easily lifted her up, setting her straight on her wobboly knees.

Jyanus swung his saber knocking his attack aside as Noktu pressed the attack with both sabers. Jyanus was good but seemingly out of practice. As Noktu seemed about to finish the fight with his hard strikes, something hit him on the back.

He stood up as the container fell to the ground, summoned by Jyanus and with the slight change of events Noktu was now on the defensive as Jyanus swung at his neck then legs, forcing him to stay on his toes.

He was leading her down a long corridor. He didn't speak at all, which she found kinda strange. He seemed alert, hearing things she couldn't. Finally he spoke, his calm, rich voice catching her of guard and making her jump.

"Can you walk by yourself?" He asked. "I must do one more thing before I leave." He continued as her mouth opened to ask him why.

"I guess..." She said, unconfidently. She didn't like the idea of her rescuer going farther into the homestead of her captor, nor did she like the idea of walking around unprotected.

"It will be ok." He said, as if reading her mind. "Just head down this corridor," he motioned to the right, "And keep walking until you come to the ballroom. Regardless of what is going on in there, keep on going, until you reach the outside. My speeder is parked out there, climb in and wait. Ok?"

She nodded meekly, and started to walk in the direction he had indicated. Before she had gotten 2 feet, he whispered "Stop." She turned around, and he was holding out a small blaster to her. "You may need this..."

As soon as she was out of sight, Janus made a sigh of releif. She had made him quiet uncomfortable, as he could read her mind, and all the.... inapropriate thoughts in it.

When they had departed, they had reached the corridor that he had seperated from Noktu in. He headed down the corridor Noktu had taken, and soon came apon his battle with Jyanus. The guards were caught off guard, a bad thing for guards to be caught in, and were systematically slaughtered before any had even known he was there. With the men all dead, Noktu would be a bit safer.

He leaned up against the wall, to watch the battle.

He swung again at Jyanus trying to force back the mans vicious attacks. Some action was happening behind him, not wishing to watch Noktu hoped it was for the best, and concentrated instead on Jyanus. and swung at his blade hoping to force him back.

Their blades came together with a shower of sparks, and for a second they looked into eachothers eyes, but Noktu broke that up as he spit into his opponents eyes. Jyanus screamed as he tried to get the spit away from his eyes and swung his saber to keep Noktu at bay as he swung.

With his blade defected Noktu moved his leg into position and gave a booted kick into the mans face sending him flying back. Seeing the advantage Noktu leapt at the man and slashed at his exposed arm cutting into the flesh.

From behind him a flash of red erupted as a man on the ground managed to bring his blaster to bare and fired at Noktu, the blast sailed through the air and slammed into Noktu left shoulder.

Looking back Noktu saw Janus systematicly cut the mans head off and with a scream Jyanus fled. Noktu yelling at Janus.

"HE's mine do NOT FOLLOW!!! Meet me in town I will find you... Jyanus is MINE!!!" and with a dash Noktu held his shoulder and ran after the rogue sith. "DO NOT FOLLOW!"

"Whatever. You always do it the hard way..."

Janus turned and walked away. He headed the way he had come, with nothing significant happening. It seemed the majority of guards had been in the first room and with Bane. In no time at all he reached the fork where he had left Bane's sister.I wonder what sorta trouble she into...


She walked down the hall cautiously. She held the blaster clutched to her chest like a old woman near death with a crusifix. She came to the door Janus had instructed her to come to. She took a deep breath, and opened the door.


The was a scream. Janus' head perked up. It had come from the direction Bane's sister had gone. He ran down the narrow hall as fast as he could.


She screamed. What she saw filled her with horror. Dead bodies, some smashed, some slashed, and some shot til there was nothing left. Gore apon gore apon gore! It littered the floor, the walls, even the ceiling. Blood, sweat, piss, and guts everywhere. She was so filled with horror, she fainted, on the spot. The last thing to enter he mind before blackness was: I hope I don't fall in any of it!
