Darth Randus Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 As Ben, CSI, and Aurora walked through the gate and entered the Dune Sea. What he saw... stunned him. As far as the eye could see, there was a sandy desert. The wind blowing sand around from time to time. Ben stopped for a few minutes trying to determine which direction to go. Eventually, he decided that continueing onward but slightly to the left was the right way to go. As they got closer, the presence he felt seemed to get clear and clear, but not clear enough for him to determin who it was... yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 "Hello? Are you sure your sense is correct?" CSI asked Ben carefully, trying not to push him off the edge, "There is a cliff in that direction." CSI used Force Farsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 As soon as CSI had announced his concern, Ben stopped and started to reach out with the force again to figure out the direction they needed to go. After several minutes, he had determined that he thought the presence was about 80 degrees to his left. "Aurora, CSI, i believe where we are headding is in this direction" Ben said as he was pointing to where he thought they should go. "What do you think, i feel a very strong presence in that direction." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 CSI said: "We trust your instinct. Well, according to Atton, the scoundrels never run out of luck. They act based on the basic instincts. Now shall we?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 "Very well... we are not far. the closer we get, the clearer the presence becomes. Let us continue." Ben could sense that the presence was indeed someone that he knew for a long time... he could just not make out who it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 "Right, Ben. If that's where you think it is, then that's where we'll go." She scanned the horizon. "Well, it's not a good idea to stay in one place for too long. Let's go see who it is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The three of them walked for a while in the same direction that Ben had pointed and eventually after a little while, Ben noticed in the far away distance that there might be what looks like a cave. When he saw this, he stopped suddenly and reached out with the force. "He is there..." is all that he was able to say before he went into deep thought about the near future.

Darth InSidious Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Meanwhile the gates of all-powerful Olympus are thrown open, And the father of go- Sorry, wrong story Meanwhile, an indefinable distance away, N'Dul leant against a statue of a long-dead Rakatan, its outstretched arms now broken off, and smiled.

CSI Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 CSI didn't feel good. A cold chill run up his spine. No way, no way...I sense...Two Sith Lords? CSI frowned up and focused on his vision more, Wait...This can't be right...One of them is even me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 "I... I don't know. Lets continue." Ben said, noticing Aurora's concern. "CSI, we need to continue, whats the matter?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 "OK, folks." CSI cleaned his throat, clearly in nervous, "A very formidable enemy is here. His name is...Darth Nihilus." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 "What?" Aurora frowned. "CSI, what's going on? I seriously doubt you've fallen to the dark side; is it a clone? or one of those shadow beings?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 "I sense myself in there... and it feels so... so right" Ben said, cautious about what he was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 "No..." CSI narrowed his eyes a little and continued, "I didn't fall. These are reflections of our internal darkness. Didn't you feel, Master Starfire? There is a Dark Side copy of me in the cave...Darth Nihilus, and Ben's, Darth Randus?" Then he turned to Ben: "What do you mean, feel so 'right'?"

Aurora Starfire Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Aurora's eyes widened for a moment, then narrowed. She sighed. "Not again! You'd think the dark side would realize how pointless this is, by now, and give up. Ah, well...." She turned and looked at Ben. "Tell us what's wrong, Ben. I feel your rush of emotions," she said.

Darth Randus Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 "Something is drawing me to myself... and... and I... I must obey." Ben turned to look at CSI and Aurora. He could feel himself changing every moment that passed, and he didn't quite know how he was changing, but it felt like it was the 'right' thing to do.

Aurora Starfire Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 "Ben, no!" Aurora placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't you realize what you would become? You would be a monster, destroying anyone and everyone who stood in your path, even friends, family, anyone close to you. I know that isn't your true self. I know you can overcome this. Let me help you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 "How do you know what i would become? How do you know that it is not more powerful?" Ben said calmly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Starfire Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Aurora's expression was solemn, almost grave. "I have seen friends fall before, and I have seen their deeds. The dark side is not more powerful, it just makes power easier to get. But if you do not work hard to attain that power, you do not learn the self-discipline necessary to responsibly use that power, to decide when, and if, to use it. There is nothing a Sith can do that a Jedi could not, if they chose. But the Jedi have worked to earn there power, and have learned the consequences of their actions, and so are able to restrain themselves from destructive behavior. Do you want to destroy countless planets? to kill millions of innocent people, innocent children? I have never known a Sith who did not do that. They are so filled with anger and rage that they cannot restrain themselves, and ultimately, they are unhappy. For the dark side is unsatisfying. It gives a Sith power easily, but he is not content. He must kill and maim and destroy more, in an attempt to attain more power, and so he is sucked deeper and deeper into the deadly trap of the dark side. For," she lowered her voice, "ultimately, as CSI could tell you, part of the secret of the dark side is hunger. Ravenous, the dark side is, and as you consume populations and worlds, it consumes you, until finally, you have been destroyed. I would not see that happen to you, Ben."

CSI Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 CSI added in: "Ben, we trust you can do it. That's why I recommend you to cleanse yourself before go on any other mission. But no fear. Just remember: Power, is not your tool. It's your friend. You should use it for your friends, not for yourself." Then CSI faced to Darth Nihilus: "Darth Nihilus, what are you doing here?" Darth Nihilus said nothing, only different pitches of sounds. "What did you say, Sith? Louder, I think I have some problem with my hearing." CSI joked. [CSI understands what he was saying, of course, he just wants to irritate the Sith Lord.] Darth Nihilus's sounds was faster, clearly he was irritated. "Ah?" CSI touched his ear to indicate that he still couldn't understand it, "I beg your pardon?" Now Darth Nihilus gave in his anger. He ignited his red lightsaber. "Wow! Sithy lightsaber?" CSI jumped back a few inches, "Wait, can we deal this in non-violent way?" Now clearly, Darth Nihilus attempted to supress his anger, and emitted another pitch of sound. "Oh, you want to teach me to feed on the Force? You mean this?" CSI slowly opened his eyes which the eyeballs are glowing brightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 [sorry, ive been really busy lately, and this is the first time i have had to post] Hearing his friends explain what was at stake, he let go of the emotions he was feeling, but still was not entirely sure what to do. He saw the sencere face on Aurora and decided to hear her out. He then watched Darth Nihilus and CSI, when CSI started to do something he had never seen someone do before. He began to wonder what in the force he was doing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 A glowing ball appeared on CSI's left hand, then it began to crack, within it, everybody can see the blinding light glowing inside it. Suddenly, the ball broke and immense light had shined the cave. "Force Light!" CSI shouted. Darth Nihilus retreated to dodge the blinding light, and he emitted different pitches of voices...Suddenly, a small strand of light shined on it, and began "corrupting" his darkness. With a high pitched shout, he was "consumed" by the light. From the light, CSI can hear Darth Nihilus's voice in Basic: "Thank you, CSI. Thank you for saving me from Darkside. I've been in the Darkside too long. Farewell, my friend." "You, too. May the Force be With you, Darth Nihilus." CSI made a polite bow. When the light dimished, Darth Nihilus is gone. Only his mask fall on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Randus Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 After watching what CSI did to his illusion, Ben was stunned at what he was able to do. "Ugh, CSI... what in the name of the force did you just do?" Ben could feel his dark self watching him, glaring at him, and calling to him to return to where he 'belonged'. Part of him was tempted to embrace what he once was, but another part of him wanted to remain with his friends. His mind was once again in a state of chaos. Remembering what his friends just told him, he ignored his darker self, for the moment. He could feel his other 'identity' growing angrier and angrier from this with each passing moment. Dispite what he was feeling, he just continued to look at both CSI and Aurora, like a sense of meaning had finally come to him, and smiled at them.

CSI Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 CSI smiled back at Ben and Aurora. "Try irritate him." CSI hinted, "Just like I did." "But since you don't know the Force Light, then use your will power to enchant Jedi Code. It helps." Then CSI hinted again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
