Star Wars: The Lost Son

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron reached up and took off his mask, revealing his evil smile and burning yellow eyes. "Good." He said while he unclipped his lightsaber and used the Force to hover it above them, pointing it up towards the ceiling and activated the blood-red blade. "Now, rise Darth Maera, and give me a kiss, for you have earned it."

[Aurora Starfire]

Darth Maera rose, and turned her face towards him, revealing her flaming eyes. She turned his face down towards her, and kissed him with a passion she had not felt before.

 

Arion, still only half-awake, heard what Darth Saaron had said, and tried to sit up, alarmed. But he was still weak from his torture, and fell back, unconscious again.

 

Darth Maera broke away from their kiss, realizing that Arion was still there. "With- with your permission, milord, I will return shortly. I need to take care of- of the Jedi." She drew upon the Force to lift Arion into the air, and brought him to the docking bay. She laid him in the sleeping quarters of a small shuttle with hyperspace capability, and looked down at him. For a moment, her old self shone through, and she whispered, "I hope you can forgive me, Arion." A single tear fell from her eye, and she turned away, away from that part of herself, and of her life. She set the navicomputer to autopilot, and left the ship, turning to watch it as it lifted off and jumped to lightspeed.

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron willed the kiss with Darth Maera to go on forever, and was reluctant when she pulled away and put his mask back on. "Very well, my apprentice. Deal with your brother, while I deal with this... thing." He kicked Darth Kelion's corpse with his boot a couple times for emphisis.

 

Once Darth Maera and Arion left, Darth Saaron began to goad his former master and father. He chuckled, "So, am I the son that you wanted now?" He kicked the corpse again. "I am the master now, and I am much, much stronger than you ever were." He summoned two troopers walking by to take care of the body and walked down to the docking bay where Darth Maera was standing. He eyed all of the troopers and techs in the hanger and coldly announced "Everyone, leave us. Now!" He watched as everyone ran out, fearing for their lives. He chuckled and then slammed all of the doors and access hatches to the hanger shut and sealed them. He then turned his attention to Darth Maera. "Are you finished, my apprentice? There is much to be done, including the beginning of your training."

[Aurora Starfire]

Darth Maera turned when Darth Saaron spoke to her. "I am finished, milord." She moved closer, and slowly wrapped her arms around him, as she removed his mask. "What is your will for me?" she asked, softly, and leaned in to kiss him.

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron deepened his kiss with Darth Maera, with such passion that was more powerful than he had ever felt before, making him stronger. While they kissed, Darth Saaron reached out with the force to his apprentice, ::You will go to your new quarters, they are located next to my father's old quarters. I will be moving into them shortly. Change into all of you new Sith gear and modify or rebuild your lightsaber so that it is of the Sith. Then, meet me in the training room inside my new quarters.::

[ForceFightWMe12]

Hello, all.

 

As your newest, friendly neighborhood RPG Moderator, I'm here to deliver a bit of a warning for you all.

 

According to Rule 4 of the RPG Specific Rules for the DTC, an RP must have at least three active players. I still see that CSI, Aurora Starfire, and Darth Randus are still active, but I also see that CSI is on an entirely different planet and seems to be doing things that are completely unreleated to what Aurora and Randus are doing. I am giving the three of you a warning that if this does not change, I may be force to lock the topic sometime soon.

 

Also, this thread seems to be coming up as a replacement for "The Battle of the LF Sith" RP that was shut down by RogueNine approximately a month ago. If this also does not change and some inkling of a plot does not arise soon, then the topic will be locked.

 

Have a nice day.

 

~FFWM12

[Aurora Starfire]

((My apologies, FFWM12, I'll get the plot rolling again.))

 

Darth Maera willingly surrendered to the passion of their kiss. She felt that she was changing, in ways that she couldn't describe, or understand. ::Yes.... milord. I will do as you command.:: Eventually, she ended their kiss, and went to her new quarters. She sorted through the Sith robes she found there, and found one to fit, whereupon she went to the workbench and began constructing a new lightsaber.

 

* * *

 

In the Council chambers, Master Trayn looked up sharply, sensing a the shockwave of a terrible disturbance in the Force. "Jedi Starfire has failed. We must dispatch a team of masters to end the Sith threat." At that moment, a padawan rushed into the room. "Masters, Jedi Vergil and an unknown Force-sensitive are fighting on the Temple steps!"

 

* * *

 

Some time later, Darth Maera picked up her newly built saber and ignited it. The crimson blade flicked into existence, humming dangerously. She smiled in satisfaction, and swiftly walked to Darth Saaron's quarters. As she entered, she frowned, sensing something. "Milord, I sense the Jedi are planning to attack us."

 

Muchas gracias, Aurora ~ FFWM12

[CSI]

[To ForceFightWithMe12: First, congratulations on your promotion. Second, thank you for issuing us a warning. We'll think about it, though.]

 

"Tell me, Vergil. You don't turn your back on us without a reason." CSI narrowed his eyes, while their lightsabers clashed together.

 

"You're right, I didn't fall without a reason. The reason is...I'm tired of this Jedi lecture." Vergil replied.

 

"Don't lie to me, Vergil. You seek revenge? You got it." CSI slowly put Vergil's former lightsaber onto his belt, "Finish me off, then." Then he looked at the Coruscanti Sun. His white robe flowed with the wind.

 

My friends...all gone. I think it's better for my life to put into an end. CSI smiled.

 

----

 

CSI waited for a while, and he didn't feel any lightsaber burning his flesh. He turned to Vergil, and noticed he knelt down, crying: "No, I can't do it. I don't know why...I simply can't!"

 

CSI took his friend's arms, "Stand up, my friend. You did good. Look, your face is terrible. Go wash it up--You'll look better."

 

Vergil burst out a laughter, "You're right, CSI...You're right. And thank you, I'm able to supress my dark side feeling. And nobody would know you as a Sith Marauder."

[Aurora Starfire]

Master Vor came towards them, parting the small crowd of onlookers that had gathered. "Jedi Vergil, is there a problem?"

 

* * *

 

The shuttle bearing Arion Starfire dropped out of hyperspace near Tatooine, and stopped there, waiting for Arion to wake up and take control.

 

Meanwhile, on the surface of Tatooine, Sarela Tan sat in a cantina in Anchorhead, nursing a blue an fizzy drink. She stiffened when she felt another Force-sensitive enter the system, then relaxed once she had gotten a better sense of him. She tossed a credit chip to the bartender, and headed back to the Fearless. This.... Jedi.... something about him, she mused. She took the ship up, and turned it in the direction of the derelict shuttle.

 

((Leia has given me permission to take over her character, Sarela Tan, as she no longer wishes to participate in the RP at this time.))

[CSI]

Vergil sweated: "No, no problem at all, Master. Here, this is my friend, CSI," Then he whispered at Master Vor: "He's a Sith Marauder. And don't worry, he is light sided...And...he even wished to change his rank to Jedi Weapon Master."

 

Then he turned to CSI, which seemed deeply troubled. "What happened, my friend?"

 

"Nothing, Vergil. Nothing." CSI looked at Vergil, and replied hastily.

 

"CSI, this is Master Vor." Vergil introduced them. CSI made a polite bow, "Always a pleasure to meet a Jedi."

[Aurora Starfire]

Master Vor returned the bow. "It is good that there is nothing wrong. We had heard that there was a fight taking place. If you're sure...." He paused. "Vergil, we need you to lead a team to infiltrate the Sith ship in orbit above Coruscant. You must eliminate the Sith threat, by whatever means necessary. Put together your team as you see fit, but the Council recommends you choose experienced Knights for this mission. It is an extremely dangerous one. There are at least two Sith Lords on board, and possibly other dark Force users."

 

* * *

 

The Fearless linked with the shuttle, and Sarela stepped aboard. There was no movement on board, that she could detect, but she remained cautious in her explorations. She reached the quarters, and found what she sought---the young Jedi, lying unconscious in one of the beds. She noted his recently healed burns, as well as the worried expression that remained on his face, even in sleep. She placed a hand on his forehead, and concentrated for a moment. With a start, his eyes fluttered open, and he tried to sit up. "Aurora! Where- where is she?"

[CSI]

"Mmm? Well, I think Aurora and Arion can be our internal aid. What do you think? And now you mentioned it..." CSI took out the key of the Jedi Phoenix, "I still owe them a ship, though."

 

Vergil nodded at Master Vor: "Yeah, And I think my best friend, CSI, can be my partner. And to avoid needless casaulties, just 2 of us go aboard the ship, plant a bomb, and then with a brilliant firework--these two Sith are history."

 

"That's the plan, mate." CSI smiled, and suddenly noticed the somber atmosphere, "What happened here? Someone fill us in?"

[Aurora Starfire]

Master Vor looked grave. "The Council sensed a very great disturbance in the Force, and the darkness surrounding the Sith ships increased a great deal. Jedi Aurora.... was convinced she could redeem Darth Saaron from the dark side. We fear she may be dead.... or worse. Jedi Arion's location and status are unknown."

 

* * *

 

Sarela pushed Arion back down, gently. "Don't try to get up just yet, young Jedi. Your injuries have been healed, but it takes time to regain your strength. You'll be able to get up in a little while. For now, I have some questions. Who are you, and why are you here?"

 

Arion rubbed his head, uncertainly. "I wish I knew. I mean, I know my name, it's Arion Starfire. But I have no idea how I got here, or even where 'here' is." He hesitated. "There.... there wasn't anyone else aboard, was there."

 

She shook her head. "No, there wasn't. Nobody but you."

 

He sat up, more carefully this time, and got to his feet, slowly. "I need to make a call." He went to the cockpit, and commed the Jedi Phoenix.

[CSI]

"Then...Leave it to us. It's our turn to take Undercover...Again." CSI smiled.

 

"Yeah, sit back, and enjoy the show." Then CSI and Vergil ran off, using Master Speed.

 

Just when they ran into the cockpit, the comm chirped. CSI turned on, and said: "Hello? CSI and Vergil here."

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron moved all of his things into his new quarters and then began to meditate. He could sense the Jedi's plan to attack him, and began planning. When he sensed his apprentice arrive, he got up and looked at her, his mask sitting on his bed. "I have sensed it. We must begin your training quickly, there is not much time." He paused to take out a comlink and activated it, "Commander, set course for Zoist." He said coldly. Turning his attention back to his apprentice, "My apprentice, come with me to the training room. We will begin your training now."

[Aurora Starfire]

Arion sighed with relief. "CSI, Vergil. Wait.... Vergil? You're back? Ah, never mind. Not important. Listen..... I'm at Tatooine, no idea how I got here, but I'm worried about Aurora. She.... I don't know. It- it doesn't make sense. Look, uh, I probably won't be able to make it back very soon, it'll take me a while to get back to Coruscant from here, but..... if you see, or hear of, Aurora, please let me know."

 

* * *

 

Darth Maera simply nodded. "Yes, master. As you command." She followed Darth Saaron to the training room, curious about what his training would be.

[CSI]

CSI and Vergil looked at each other and CSI covered the mouthpiece. "Should we tell him?" Vergil asked CSI.

 

CSI thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, not yet. I don't think making a decision without fully investigate the situation." Then he said to Arion: "Sorry, we can't tell you more, but...Vergil and I are going to infiltrate the Sith Lord's ship. You coming?"

 

Waiting for the reply, CSI and Vergil began to gather up their commando gears and equipped them. "Hey, Vergil, we'd better just bring dual blaster pistols and a Flak Cannon. Because we're dealing with Dark Jedi there, you know."

 

Vergil nodded: "Same old drill." Then he smiled wide, "Ready when you are, pal."

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron turned around and looked at his apprentice. "This will be your first lesson, my apprentice. You must learn the sith code, sit down and meditate on the phrases that make up the sith code."

[Aurora Starfire]

Arion frowned, lost in thought for a moment. Then he said, "Where's your rendezvous point? If you've got a few hours, I might can make it, otherwise, you'll have to go without me."

 

* * *

 

Darth Maera bowed her head, and sat down as her master had ordered. "I am eager to learn, my master."

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron sat down in front of his apprentice and crossed his legs. "Oh, I know you are, my apprentice." He paused, "Now begin to meditate and I will guide you through the Sith Code. Peace is a lie, there is only passion."

[Aurora Starfire]

Darth Maera closed her eyes and easily slid into meditation. ::Peace is.... is a lie, there is only passion.:: She turned the words over in her head, exploring their meaning, and training herself to remember it. And, a small part of her couldn't help but notice that it was a mockery of the Jedi Code she had grown up with. She pushed that away from her thoughts and focused on understanding what it meant. There.... there isn't any peace, not really. No matter how I tried, I was never able to completely let go of my emotions, my.... my passions. ::I- I see now, master.::

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron closed his eyes and continued to guide his apprentice in her meditation. ::Very good, my apprentice. Let's continue. Through passion, I gain strength.::

[Aurora Starfire]

Darth Maera dutifully learned the new phrase. ::Through passion.... I gain strength....:: She looked into herself, curious about what her passions were. Right away she found hate, and immediately saw what her master meant. She hated Darth Kelion, even in death, with a passion that surprised her. She hated him for what he had done to Darth Saaron, and what he had forced her to become. That last thought gave her pause, but she would not explore that right now, she needed to concentrate. She quickly discovered that her hate did give her more strength, made her grow stronger in the dark side, than she had been. ::Master, I understand.::

[Darth Randus]

Darth Saaron smiled in his meditation. ::Execelent, you are grasping the concepts with true understanding so far. Lets see if that continues. Through strength, I gain power."

[Aurora Starfire]

::Through strength, I gain power.:: Darth Maera smiled. ::This one's easy.:: Her strength in the dark side gave her much readier access to the power of the Force. ::What next, master?::
