Academy Wars: Episode 1 "Dark Academy Rising" Official Battle Thread

[Darth Groovy]

"This is Obi-wan Kenobi! Get to your escape transports, now! I repeat: Evacuate! Code Red! Evacuate!" The words echoed over the 1mc and reverberated through the schoolyard walls. Darth Groovy and Nerfyoda looked into the sky as they heard the screaming repulsors from the Tie Bombers in the sky. The turrets before them shattered like glass and bodies were tossed into the grass nearby. Before Groovy could say anything he saw the presence of his master Yoda_623 running towads them saber ignited. "Darth Groovy, you and Nerfyoda and the rest of the second string defense must try to devert the ground attack away from the transports. When the third transport is away, we will dust off the field and get you out." Yoda_623 shouted at the pupils. "Yes my master", Groovy said with a sharp formal snap. The troops surrounding them began slapping cartridges and loading weapons and finding cover behind trees and rocks and bushes. "They need me on the command ship", Yoda continued. "Where will we go?" replied Groovy. "Yoda placed his hand on his pupil's shoulder and smiled widely. "The battle has only begun my young padawan. Through knowledge of the Force the future you will see, although not always in order are these events. In time you will learn to stretch out to see these things before they happen. We have lost the building, but the Academy is still strong. We will win this war!" Yoda_623 started towards the hangar and paused to look back on his apprentice...."The Force will be with you......always!" As Yoda_623 scurried off the field, a loud explosion errupted as several white clone troopers scurried into the courtyard. Groovy and several students walked in a single line ahead while others holding blasters kept their ground. The line ignited the sabers in unison and began to deflect the blater fire like a large forcefield. An officer yelled in the distance, "Fire!" with that the front line of students hit the ground face first to allow for the surprise behind them. Blaster bolts echoed like a machine as clonetroopers fell to the ground. Darth Groovy crawled back towards Nerfyoda who was cursing and blasting troopers with his rifle. "I want you to cover me, I'm going to take out the commanders." said Groovy. "Like Hell you are", Nerfyoda snapped. Besides what do you think you will accomplish?" "They are sith, this is are only chance to slow them down. The troopers are bread to follow orders, not carry out plans. I will be back." Groovy pulled a small sphere out of his robe. "I have a bad feeling about this!" Nerfyoda continued, "just hurry back right?" Groovy smiled and ran to the front of the field. He through the sphere at the center of the first wave of troops. The sphere broke in half as a cloud of black smoke shot out of it. The blaster bolts lessened until the officers commanded they're troops to cease fire. Several dark hooded figures made there way past the clonetroopers as they snapped to attention. Three single hooded figures came to the front and stopped. AS the smoked cleared (:::cue duel of fates theme::: Darth Groovy stood glancing down slightly. As his head rose, he removed his sunglasses to reveal two bright red and yellow eyes. The three sith without any words ignited they're red glowing sabers. In one circular motion a long saber hilt appeared in Groovy's hand and red blades shot out of each end. Groovy glared at the three warriors and let out a faint growl as he shot into the air like a rocket. His robe fell to the ground behind him. He flipped twice like a diver and landed on the ground before them. The sith surrounded Groovy and lunged into them with sabers aglow and ran around him like a twisted carousel. Darth Groovy blocked and parried the attacks and spun the double blade with one hand and stretched out the other. Reaching out to the force he knocked one warrior into the nearbye wall. The other two were on each end as Groovy twisted and turned and spun around. Nerfyoda sat behind the tree and watched in amazment the acrobatics of his friend. Suddenly the third sith picked himself off the wall and ran towards Groovy's back, and hit him hard with both hands. Groovy let out a yell of pain, the double blade flew out of his hand as he hit the ground. The other sith pulled his lightsaber back into his hand with the force and powered it up. The three sith stood over Groovy stabbing at him as Groovy rolled around on the ground dodging each blow. Suddenly the second sith grabbed his throat and let out a gasp as he fell backward. Groovy stood up into his direction and his double saber flew back into his hand. The Second sith screamed in agony as the Darth Groovy pulled the blade out of his abdomen. Without pause for reflection the other two sith came at him again even stronger. The first sith Force pushed Groovy into the tree behind him and shot him full of lightning bolts. Groovy gathered his strenght and hurled his saber past the sith's head. He closed his eyes and used his hand to steady the blades flight. The blade remained spinning behind the sith. Groovy closed his eyes and steadied the saber's flight. The sith stood with a blank look of surprise as Groovy laid there next the tree in deep concentraion with his hand stretched forward. As the sith turned around to see what he was concentrating on, the blade whirlled into him like a helicopter and sent his head flying across the courtyard. The blade slowly returned to Darth Groovy'd hand as second sith ran to his fallen comrad and grabbed saber from his hand. "Traitor....You are not Darth Maul!" The sith hissed. Groovy shook his head lightly and reached into his tunic for his sunglasses. "know...... I am something else." The sith growled and ignited both sabers as Groovy lunged into him. The sith crossed both sabers into a "T" and blocked Groovy's blow. The sith flipped backward and twirled both saberes in each hand and lunged forward again. Using his elbow he jabbed Groovy harshly in the chin and swung with the other blade. A large pile of sparks emmitted as Groovy's blade was chopped in two. Groovy continued with the other half of the blade as a large hum echoed in the backround. The courtyard filled with wind as he looked up and noticed Yoda_623 standing in the troop bay surrounded by students and pupils. "Around the Students a perimiter create", snapped Yoda_623. Then the ship sent out a stream of lazer bolts into the opposing forces. The sith glared at Groovy and looked back at his falling troops. He pointed a saber directly at Groovy's chest "this is not finished!" he yelled, and then ran back to his troops ordering them to fire on the remaining students. The Academy officers ordered the troops to get onto the hovership and Groovy stood for a moment and looked at the two dead sith that lay before him. He powered down his saber and headed towards the ship.

Nice work Groovy:D That was great...

 

How far has it come along Reb? You have another chapter now:D

[Divine Spirit]

Has/is someone put/ting the whole story in one file?

[Agen]

Reb is compiling. looks like he's doing a good job too.

[Reb Starblazer]

“Tyrion, am I ever glad to see you.” Said XERXES, the medic tending to the wound on his side. The rest of the group that had set out with Tyrion, included Reb and Kordkelly, had finally reached XERXES position. The scouts that Tyrion had sent ahead with the medic saluted as he passed.

 

“The same can be said for you. By the way Darklighter called in, we weren’t sure if we would make it to you in time.” Tyrion replied.

 

“This?” XERXES joked. “It’s only a minor wound.”

 

“Yea a minor, life threatening wounds. You’re lucky to be alive, it’s a good thing Darklighter found you when he did.” Said Tyrion.

 

“Any word from him yet?” Asked XERXES. The look on Tyrion’s face said it all, and XERXES didn’t need a spoken answer.

 

“Is he able to walk? I don’t plan on staying around here forever.” Asked Tyrion

 

“He’ll be just fine. He can walk, but don’t push him. He needs time to recover. A slow, steady pace shouldn’t be too much trouble for him however.” Replied the medic.

 

“Alright. Let’s move out.” Tyrion yelled to the troops. That was when Reb noticed it, a disturbance in the Force. He could feel a Dark presence near, a familiar one.

 

“You head back to base. I’ll catch up. I have some pressing matters to attend to, with an old friend.” Said Reb. Tyrion gave him a strange look, but then he nodded. He made a ‘follow me’ motion with his hand, and the platoon moved out. Reb took one last look at Tyrion and the soldiers, and then left in another direction.

 

 

“Ah, I knew you would come. At least we finally meet, face to face, instead of in your mind.” Said Darth Talliusc, standing by a Lambda class shuttle.

 

“So it wasn’t a dream. You were manipulating my thoughts.” Replied Reb.

 

“Yes. But you defeated me, in my own dreamscape. I would have never thought it possible, but you proved me wrong.” Said Talliusc, taking his strange Lightsabre from his back, and igniting both blood red ends. “Now then, let’s see how you fare in the real world.”

 

Reb brandished his Lightstaff, igniting both ends with a snap-hiss as Talliusc charged at him. Reb blocked the first strike, and the second, and then attacked. Talliusc parried his blow, and the cycle repeated itself. Talliusc’s Lightsabre and fighting stance were the most unusual Reb had ever encountered, so he had to adapt quickly in order to keep his head. But he was finding it very difficult indeed, and struggled to gain ground against the advancing Sith.

 

“My offer still stands, ” stated Talliusc. “ You would be a powerful ally Starblazer. Don’t make me destroy you.”

 

“And, what, makes you think, you, could.” Replied Reb, between blocks, parries and attacks.

 

(If you have the Imperial March, start playing it right about now)

“Oh come now. Can you not see that you are fighting a losing battle? This duel, and the one you have in your mind. I sense the conflict within you. Join us Starblazer. It’s the only chance you have.”

 

Reb blocked Talliusc’s latest attack, and then backed off. Reb knew what he had to do. He did only have one chance, and he had best take it while the offer still stood. “ You’re right.” Reb answered, extinguishing his blades. “ It is my only chance. I accept your offer. I will join you, and serve the Dark Emperor.”

 

Darth Talliusc extinguished his blades and grinned. “Excellent choice Lord Malice. You are not as foolish as I once thought you to be. Welcome my Sith brother. Welcome to the New Order.”

 

Tyrion stood in shock. He had sent the others ahead, and followed Reb, as he was worried about him. He had felt the dark side growing stronger in Reb since earlier, and now he knew why.

 

“Reb, no! What are you doing?” yelled Tyrion as Reb began to walk up the boarding ramp of the shuttle, following Talliusc.

 

“What I must. The Force is leading me in a different direction than you and the others. Our paths will cross again Tyrion, I assure you. As for now, go Tyrion. Leave, and go as quickly as you can. I sense an event coming, one that will create a drastic change in this war. Hurry, and return to the Academy, while you still can. But please, grant me one request.” Darth Malice reached into his cloak, and pulled a pendant from around his neck. He tossed it to Tyrion. “When you see Obi-Wan again, please, give him this. And tell him… tell him I’m sorry.”

 

Tyrion opened the pendant, to find a small holopic of Obi-Wan, Reb, and a blue Female Twi-Lek. Reb was standing behind her, his arms around her waist. Tyrion wondered who she was…

 

“May the Force protect you Tyrion.” Lord Malice said to Tyrion. But it was too late. He had already started running towards the Academy. The engines revved up, and Malice climbed the rest of the way up the ramp.

[Reb Starblazer]

That's my final contribution. Not quite what you were expecting huh? It comes before Obi-wan's last post, if you're wondering. It was hard to come to this decision, but I have long term plans for what to do. Back to the story, what format do you guys want this in? I'll send it out to Obi-Wan, and Divine Spirit later, so they can put it on their sites. I'm proof reading it now. I didn't do the whole name the chapter thing, because there's about 50 of them.

That's it for now. I guess I can email it out to anyone else who wants it though.

 

Darth Malice, out.

[Shadow Angel]

Man, this sucks. My Net's been out for a few days, and the two posts I did make were placed out of order, and were either ignored, or they sucked. To whoever's compiling, since no one used mine, you don't have to put it in, but it got out of order. My first came after this post:

 

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

"It was foolish of you to come here, Darklighter" as he turned around slowly, the figure was in full view, standing at the entrane through which he had come. "You are only delaying your iminent death." It was Shadow Angel, Darth Dominance, Divine Spirit's sith lord companion. He was tall, his thick, long cloak pitch dark, his hood covering his face.

 

"You cannot win" he said in a low, foreboding voice that shattered the silence.

 

"We will see" came Darklighter's response. "You may have power, but you lack the spirit of a Jedi. You cannot foresee your victory while we are still alive, Shadow" his voice now deep, he was circling around shadow, his hand inches away from his saber hilt.

 

"You speak as if there is still hope left for your kind" he replied menacingly. "We will see if you are right, Admiral" he began to close in on Darklighter, they were both walking to confront each other. "You know you will not win this battle. The darkside is the only way out. Join us Tidus. You know it is the only option."

 

"The only option if you are weak enough to give in!" he shouted, as the tension mounted Shadow's face was grim and smirkless.

 

"Fool!!" he quickly drew his lightsaber. In a split second he leapt into the air towards Darklighter, his brandished red saber gleaming with malice. Darklighter was too quick. Before the saber could strike him, his orange-white saber was drawn to block the attack. They locked, Shadow's teeth gritted together, Darklighter's eyes glaring beneath his low brow. Shadow flung himself backwards to land on the ground a few metres away.

 

He ran at Tidus again, swiping to his left. He parried the attack, and ducked to avoid the next swipe across his head. Darklighter spun, circling in the air just in time to avoid Shadow's deadly upercut. He landed, and they faced each other again. Full of anger, Shadow ran at him, his blade high above his head, ready to strike. This he did not foresee. As he brought hi ssaber down as he ran, Darklighter dodged to the side. Everything moved in slow motion. Shadow ran passed and missed, and Darklighter brought his saber down upon his back.

 

With a cry he fell. "Curse you, and your Academy!" he yelped. The shuttle was just in time. It cruised overhead, guns ready, firing at Darklighter. he dodged them and dived behind the bunker out of view. Shadow crawled to his feet, and the shuttle ramp lowered.

 

"We will meet again!" He cried, as he climbed aboard the caft, injured and limping. Darklighter knew this was only the beginning. He would have to face him again, but not yet. Holstering his saber, he climbed aboard the speeder bike, and raced back to his comrades.

 

 

------------------------- And here's my first post.....

 

The Shadow Angel's shuttle quickly docked into his Super Star Destroyer in orbit around the planet. As the ramp lowered, the usual procedure of stormtroopers marching in formation around the craft took form, a bit hastily. Admiral Jericho, commander of the SSD Black Phoenix, rushed to greet the Dark Lord. To his shock, Shadow Angel's robes were tattered and torn, and he looked exhausted. As he limped out of the shuttle, Jericho said:

 

"L-L-Lord Dominance.... back so soon--"

"You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. My confrontation with Master Darklighter has turned with unexpected results. Now, if will excuse me, I will retreat to my quarters. I do not wish to be interrupted!"

And with that, Lord Dominance stomped off to his meditation chamber.

 

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

 

Upon entering, Shadow immediately removed his damaged Sith robes, revealing his buff, built torso, marred only by the immense scar on his back. But most disturbing, there was no blood. In it's place, was a myriad of tristed wires and metal. His arms, from the elow to the fingers, were also metallic, polished in chrome. The Shadow Angel did indeed rise from the ashes.... as a cyborg!

No matter, thought the young Dark Lord. A mere lightsaber wound cannot stop me from my hatred, my quest for vengeance.

 

My thirst for blood.

 

<All in good time, my young apprentice.> The Dark Lord raised his head towards the ceiling. "Master?"

<Yes, it is I, Divine Spirit. I have had to retreat from the Jedi forces, but my plans have not yet failed. You will go to my secret cloning laboratories on [censored! I can't tell you! But for story purposes I will call it Volcanic Cloning Planet.] The coordinates will be beamed to you shortly. There, you are to perform an inspection and certify them as ready for battle. You will be most impressed, I assure you.>

 

"As you wish, my Master." And with that, Lord Dominance rose from his seat. The scar that was once on his back was no more. It had completely healed. He opened a compartment in the wall on his chamber (the closet) and changed.

 

The cocoon of the chamber opened. What emerged, was a figure of terror, yet also resembling an icon of ultimate coolness. Donned in a leather trenchcoat, the Dark Lord ran his metallic claw fingers through his long, electric blue hair. His equally shiny, metal boots boomed across the polished floor. He approached Admiral Jericho.

 

--------------- My second........

 

 

Space. The final frontier. A red planet, shimmering like a jewel, a deception of the fiery hell within. A black, silent ship jumped out of hyperspace in its orbit. The Sith Infiltrator, ferrying the Dark Lord, the Shadow Angel, sped towards a landing platform marked in the Emperor's special coordinates.

 

As the ship landed, a pair of blast doors in front of the platform opened, and two black-robed, hooded firgures emerged. The Dark Lord exited his craft, and one of the attendants spoke. "This way, my Lord. We have been expecting your arrival for a long time."

 

The three entered the facility, and the doors slammed shut behind them. Although he wasn't affected by it, Shadow could sense the searing heat inside. "Exactly why did you choose such a hot and uncomfortable planet as this to develop your weaponry here?"

"Simply because soldiers grow lazy in comfortable climate. They must learn to feel the heat of battle."

 

"Soldiers? I didn't come here to inspect another batch of stormtroopers--" the attendant quickly interrupted.

"Oh, our new clones are much more than mere stormtroopers, I can assure you." The three entered a turbolift. One attendant pushed a button, and they were off.

 

Shadow, not being one to ask a lot of questions, instead probed the attendant's mind through the Force. After a few moments, his eyes widened.

 

The turbolift stopped, and opened to reveal a catwalk reaching across the chasm of a volcano! Below were several platforms floating above the lava. On it, were thousands of hodded figures sparring against each other with double-bladed lightsabers.

 

Once again, the attendant spoke. "Many years ago, the great Darth Sidious built a clone army using a template of a bounty hunter. Although they made excellent soldiers, they still could not meet the Emperor's incrasing demands. We have remedied this problem by using the DNA of one of Sidious' strongest, most loyal apprentices, Khameir Sarin... but you might know him better as DARTH MAUL.

 

Indeed, my Master was wise to make this decision. "Before I make my final report, I would like to test out one of these clones personally." The attendant was a bit reluctant. "As you wish, my Lord, but I must warn you. You may not survive the test run. We've made certain enhance--"

"Just do it." And the attendant left Shadow at the catwalk.

 

Minutes later, the door at the other end opened to reveal a clone. The Maul clone removed his hood and cloak, then drew his double-bladed lightsaber and ignited each blade, one by one. Shadow ignited his own curved saber, it's purple blade, an untraditional color for both the Jedi and the Sith, glowing across his face. The clone immdeiately charged at Shadow and twirled his blade at him, but the Dark Lord easily blocked. The other side of the clone's staff immediately rushed to Shadow's face, but his keen sense of the Force acted as an alarm, aiding to block and parry each incoming strike. The sabers locked, and Shadow was surprised at the clone's strength as his blade kept coming closer to his face. However, the Dark Lord's mechanical strength in his arm kicked in and pushed the clone back off balance. A quick Force Pull brought him closer before Shadow brought his blade down on the clone's neck and decapitated him.

 

The attendant rushed back in. Shadow put away his saber, turned to face him, and said, "39 seconds. Most impressive. The Jedi will be overwhelmed by this elite fighting force. How many of these soldiers are prepared?"

"Two million, sir." Shadow grinned.

 

"Excellent. I want them sent to the Jedi Academy battleground at 0600 Coruscant time. Meanwhile, I have a personal agenda to follow. There will be no one to stop us this time!"

 

----------

 

And that's all. Since I made an entire army of Darth Maul clones, maybe that was a little over the top? I dunno. Maybe you guys could use the general idea in the next episode (I haven't read it yet.)

That would be great Reb:) I'd love to see the whole thing together...btw, you have one new addition to Episode 1 (hopefully it will be the last). Shadow's been out of comission for some time, and he's written a new chapter above.

 

I'll PM you my e-mail address...

[Reb Starblazer]

Actually Shadow didn't write a new chapter, he just reposted his two old ones. I've already included them in there shadow, so don't worry. I wasn't ignoring you:D As for the Darth Maul clones, maybe we can work them in somehow. Like when the New Jedi Academy is finally found, an army of Darth Maul's will be released upon them. That should be interesting:p I have some ideas floating in my head as to ways they can be used(or destroyed;))Just Pm that email along Darky, and I'll send it to you. I warn you now, it is LONG. Like 45 chapters and 53 pages kinda long.

[Darth Groovy]

That's right folks, they are back for your viewing pleasure.......Episode 2 will be concluded soon and Episode 3 will be underway as well! Stay tuned!
