The force flowed through him as he sensed out for Jedi... Jedi were all around but none near... but then he sensed something, something different in the level below danger of some kind.... "Thane I am going to investigate below, something is not right there" taking is saber off his belt Noktu found the stairway and slowly worked his way down, using the force to broaden his senses for a sound or anything unusual. When he reached the bottom he looked around sensing for anything that wasn't right...Something was wrong here...closing his eyes he let the force be his eyes and soon he was looking into the service hatch of the station...opening he sensed it, explosives nessled deep in the wires.

"Malice... MALICE... and Thane they have booby trapped the Cooling Station... I will attempt to deactivate or contain them then follow the sabatores..." then letting the force guide his actions Noktu worked on them at the timer slowly clicked down. One millimeter at a time he disconnected the bombs from the wires...then a sense warned him as he had only a second to act he used the force to smother hte bombs as they went off...the force taking out a gash out of the station but no more... "We have a problem Thane and Malice the bombs have gone off, I was able to contain it somewhat but it took a piece out of this cooling station, I will put this station to run at 50%, slow the generator down to about 60% running level or it'll blow, I will now follow the sabtores."

After ceasing comunication Noktu sprinted down the hall following the only trail that they could have fled to... then he heard it, sounds of combat as a blaster was shot then silenced then more shots, he sensed ahead of him, "Jedi for sure no one else could do that to the massassi...now how many...1...2! who he knew had just gotten into combat with the massassi... as he entered the area where the battle had been only minutes earlier Noktu sniffed and followed the trail of blood and bodies of Massassi... from behind him he heard a sound... and turned Lightsaber in hand... behind him were a squad of Massassi.... "Follow me... the Jedi cant be far ahead..." then sprinting up the corridor Noktu and the Massassi followed the Jedi. Noktu sensed for them and traises of the force could be felt..."they entered the sewer... " calling to Malice and Thane... Noktu spoke..."Two Jedi have entered the sewer... me and whatever Massassi I can gather will meet them at the end of the Sewer... when they get out... they will have a surprise waiting for them... Noktu out" then signalling to his Massassi Noktu was off and behind him more Massassi followed every minute

The Dark lord of the sith watched in cold silence at his uncle. Inside he knew the truth, wondering why it had been kept from him. Old mysteries had been revealed, as now he knew why Diete III had stayed his hand on Korriban, warning Sedris but not ending his life.

The truth is now known to be but that matters little brother. I am not like you father or mine. Lord Maim passed Naga's armor and weapons to me, asking that I rule in a way he did not, by uniting the sith. This cowardly attack by the jedi illustrate my point, underscoring the need for the sith empire to rise again.

I will not turn to your pathetic ways but you do have something which I need. I will ask this once........I need Korriban........It rightfully belongs to me, son of Diete Somir III.

Max received the message fro Sedriss sending one back.

"Yes Dark Lord!"

Max entered the hangar and glared straight to Baruk.

"I want you to take the others and stop the jedi when they attack. If any get through I'm holding you responsible, and you will be dealt with, with extreme prejudice. Don't fail!!!"

He turned and sent a force message to Sedriss.

**Dark Lord, Who shall I find and what shall I do?"**

Luis was thrown through the air like a ragdoll, his lightsaber ripped from his hand byt he snake-like staff. The deadman's switch activated and the intense purple blade retracted.

Turning in the air, he landed in a breakfall, rolling harmlessly and standing up quick as a flash. He held his hands out at his sides, disarmed. He looked for a method of escape. From behind Arkan somewhere, he caught a glimpse of a figure running. Kale.

"It rightfully belongs to the Sith Race, not anyone one man. I have reached an agreement with my brother regarding Korriban. He and all others are free to go to and from, as long as no armies or fleets mass on or around it. For now, that is the best I will do, which is far more than I should."

Arkan had decided that he was wasting time with the Jedi. He did not want to kill the man, but he did not want him aiding his fellows in destroying the Sith facility. A character of conflict, Arkan decided the best course of action was to cripple Luis if that was possible, considering the equipment that he had to fight the Jedi.

"You have better things to do and so do I," Arkan announced, "Send Master Odon Baas my regards, and tell him that I have spared you because I respect the Praxeum and the teachings of the Masters and Knights there..."

The final act of his battle with this: with the currents of gravity on the planet, channeled by the dovin basal, Arkan gathered the gravity around Luis, locking him into place. Then with a motion of throwing behind him, Arkan sent Luis flying off the highgrounds and toward the direction which the Jedi's gaze had been distracted to.

Khar Shian

The Overlord barreled towards the surface of the Icy Moon... like a falling angel, the ship twisted and spun, black smoke spilling from behind... Falling... Falling... Fal--

Suddenly, the Overlord came to life, firing its thruster, and pulling up just before crashing into the ice. Spinner, Kale's R7 unit, copied Kale's signal and steered the ship in his direction.

---------------------------------------------------------

Kale looked back to the Jedi Master, surrounded by copies of the Sith... He began to head back, deciding that maybe Odon could use some help, when he heard a familiar noise. Turning back to the Tundra, a smile cracked widely across Kale's face.

His ship was flying low, repulsors kicking up loose snow, giving the appearance of an lightning fast blizzard. It slowed and flew just past the Jedi Knight, boarding ramp down, so Kale released his hold on the Force, and let it wash over his body, leaping up onto the ramp, and running into the cockpit. Kale strapped in just in time to see Luis tumbling through the air in his direction. Running his hands over the controls, Kale pulled closer to his fellow Knight, hoping to get him, and get away from the moon...

Through the Force, Kale sent a message to Odon... Are you coming, or what?

The jedi master used the force to duck the slap, igniting his lightsaber, slicing through the doppleganger, and forcing it to vanish into thin air.

A sith priest who plays games? Sounds like the blood of the family Kressh runs in your veins. Once a fool always a fool.

With the force, Odon extended his senses to encompass all the dopplegangers. He knew that only the real priest would emit a force signature. He found the black swirling mass to his left, confident and smug.....assured he was hidden. Odon felt a presence, an old friend; Kale Icarius.

I am fine Kale....report back to Ossus.....I have a gift I want to present the dark lord..

The stench of death permeated the chamber, with dead massassi lying about. Odon turned, laughing at the priest.

You are indeed a sith, relying on your hate, when if you knew, every second I delay you means certain defeat for your brother. The game has started but I will end it.

Flooding his legs with the force, the older man lept at the priest, slicing downward with his strength, making connection with Diete's shoulder.

Korriban will not be harmed but The Dark Circle will now take control of the planet. NO troops only priests and alchemists under......my father Diete Somir III. I dont know why you came uncle but I have a war to fight, so if you do not mind, I shall take my leave.

Sedriss, confident and proud, turned, walking slowly through the blizzard.

This time Uncle we spoke as men,, the next time shall be as enemies.

Laughing, Sedriss nodded to the three hidden figures, clones of the great Malice Draclau; their white hair and robes blending into the snow. The mindless monsters surrounded Somir, raising their pale hands, shooting blue-black lightning at the jedi star. Boarding his shuttle, Sedriss went back to the fleet, ready to unleash hell on the jedi.

Lord Chaos.....Come to Khar Shian and and join me. We must prepare the fleet. Do not fail lord chaos.

Distantly, the Dark lord wondered if his uncle would live to see the dawning of his new empire.

Malice merely chuckled at Zeta's words. True, when they were part of the same order, Zeta had never lied nor lead Malice wrong. Infact, even though they had a shaky past, Malice would never find a reason to mistrust the zabrak. Through the force he answered confidently.

(Do not worry yourself Zeta. I have given my life to one and one only. Mastr Snack. No one else shall control me. As for Sedriss, it was i and others who have created him. And thus, he knows not to betray me. For my power now is not to be taken lightly.

The new dark lord will not fall out of line nor will he destory anything without my say. Now Zeta, enough standing around, come and enjoy some battle with the jedi before they all run)

Through the force Malice could sense each and every one of them on Khar Shian. Two were about to leave. Two were within the facility. And one.....a strong presense was heading his way. Grinning Malice let his force presense smother the area around him.

Instantly the pillar of light was spotted. Using the power of the darkside, his feet were stopped. Odon stood in one place. Confused but quickly found an answer as to why. A single white blot against the snow moved towards him. Malice had spotted the jedi, and now he would have his fun.

The demon overlord searched the jedi with the force. He was strong. But like many he had run across today, none were familiar to him. They were strangers to the sith. It mattered not. Gor when they die by his blade, he would forget them just as easily.

*Jedi. You have defiled our homeland by coming here. Now, it is my job to purify it*

Malice called out. only mere yards away from Odon.

Before he would play however, he spoke through the force to Noktu.


(Noktu, stop those jedi at all costs. Tell Thane to go with you and kill them)

Next he spoke to Max.

(Lord Chaos this is Malice. I want you to send the fighters over here. There are jedi trying to get away in a ship. Stop them. I do not want them to leave)

With that done, Malice now was free to do what he wishes. And that was to slay this jedi.
