The Third Jedi Civil War

The booth was cramped, but it seemed to unnerve the Duro more, as Ty polished off another Ale.

"You'd better talk fast. What about Malot? Why are you warning me?"

The Duro swallowed hard, his large blue eyes darting around the cantina. "The one you hunt, they are part of something bigger than you or your client know, she is connected."

Ty laughed. "All of the Nar Shadda is after me, what makes you think that my target with that well connected."

The duro's eyes hardened. "She is sith. X is her master, yet we have not yet discovered her masters name besides the letter X. We have reason to think....she caused the massacre on Ithor."

"and Malot?"

"Tracking her."

Ty, rolled his glass lazily with the force, as another presence entered the cantina, Sith troopers. "we are done here." he stated as he erased the Duro's mind, and snuck out the back door.

 

"Shame when people with such potential hold it back." he sighed, looking around the academy. Not too long ago it would have had a lot of Sith in it. Now it was empty.

 

An hou later Rayce and Tilra were leaving the High Council room in the jedi temple on coruscant"...''Rayce was silent
"...So we told them about those sith..do we head for Manaan next?''she asked
Rayce nodded

 

" I'd better go to Malachor. I have to report this incident." Sythe said to himself, heading towards his ship. The remaining half of the Gloom Walkers were on the transport already, sitting in their quarters jesting with each other. Sythe had always liked the Gloom Walkers and knew that they had something going for them. They just had to unlock it.

 

20 minutes later both Rayce and Tilra landed on the ocean world of Manaan,home to the Selkath and a variety of sea creatures.they were to buy manaan bacta...but if they didnt have enough credits for a decent supply..a rid on the sith base would do well enough

 

Terena waited impatiently for Sythe. He had always relished when a fight came his way but his loyalty was the thing that kept him from simply taking over. He helped keep the new Sith Order together. So where was he now? " Aromen!" She yelled to a young Apprentice nearby. The young Twi-lek had just started training and so was usually helping out around the place. " Yes, Lord Terena?" he asked, turning. " Find where Lord Sythe is and get him here."

" You're getting too reliant on me, Terena." Sythe was right at the door. He had been the whole time. Deciding to have some fun, he had masked his presence from her and watched the whole thing fold out.

"Where's Zarach? He was supposed to be there to meet you." She looked at him, not wanting to lose another person as strong as that.

" On a mission. The Jedi got away because his pesky Padawan arrived in the middle of the fight." He said something else only loud enough for Terena to hear. Aromen just looked curiously at the spectacle before him. Two Sith Lords playing with each other as if they knew each other better than anyone thought. Plus, Sythe had the guts to talk like this to Terena herself! Any other person but him and they would be dead within a minute. He'd have to spread THIS rumor no matter what.

 

Rayce and Tilra were heading to the Republic side of Manaan.Tilra,being a curious Padawan,was staring at the Selkath

"...Are they related to the Fish humanoids on Mon Calamari?''Tilra asked,glancing from Selkath to Selkath.she kept her lightsaber's hidden,as Did Rayce,and both of their hoods are up

Rayce cast his Padawan an amused,but stern,look."perhaps if you focused more on studies and less on Lightsaber's then you'd know,,I wont tell because you will not learn anything''he said silently,he almost bumped into a selkath,but sidestepped to his left just in time.

Tilra frowned,but knew her master didnt mean it in an offensive way"...My saber skills get us out of trouble with Sith forces Master...with my strength and your ability,we're nearly unstoppable..''she said,grinning as she followed her master,side by side.

Rayce winced,remembering how he was powerless against the Sith Lord on Korriban,he turned his head toward's Tilra,but was also keeping an eye out in front of him"...True...we can do anything as long as we're together...maybe if it was two against one we could have beat him..''he muttered

 

" In the meantime, Sythe, train Aromen a little. He hasn't dhad a good private tutoring lesson in a while." She said.

Aromen looked at Sythe as if he were a god about to reveal the galaxy's reason.

Sythe nodded, didn't bother to bow, and motioned for Aromen to follow. He didn't bother to make sure his order followed through. He knew it was even if Aromen took a slightly different route.

 

Tilra laughed silently"oh please...as soon as he saw me he couldnt even move''she said,she put it in a playful tone just so Rayce knew she was kidding,but at the same time she believed she actually intimidated him.
Rayce chuckled silently"..Perhaps so..''he said,he took a right and showed his I.D to Republic Soldier's guarding the Republic Enclave"...Enjoy yourself...I'll be speaking with the Commander here....you may go out and relax...unless you want to come along..''
"..You know I...''Tilra groaned"..Yes master..''she said

 

Only until Sythe had watched Aromen fight with a training saber did he notice it. Aromen was the one who had broken the rules earlier. He chuckled to himself, noticing why Aromen had been helping out Terena. Someone else had noticed was the only explanation. " Aromen, I want to tell you a story."

" Lord, I thought you were just going to teach me new forms and stuff?" Aromen looked excited despite his question.

"Then come over here to learn something!" He snapped.

 

Tilra had left the enclave and the stepped out into the sunny street's of manaan,she walked over to a bench and sat down to wait for her master,and was also picturing herself dueling Zarach.

 

Zarach nonchalantly walked around, looking for something fun to have to do while he was on the mission.

" Have you EVER been to the Sith archives?" He asked him.

" No. We learn nothing but past failures from it."

" Come back after reading every book by Revan." He said, getting into a resting position.

 

OOC: Walking around Manaan?..if so..

Tilra could suddenly feel that same dark presence of Zarach drawing closer to her,she quickly got up and began looking around,trying to sense him clearly"..How did he find us so fast?''she muttered.

 

Zarach was able to cloak his location well, due to the fact that before being accepted into a school for exceptionally strong Sith Apprentices, he had been trained to be an Assassin.

Aromen desperately took out every book with the name 'Darth Revan' or 'Lord Revan' on it as the author. Some accounted that his Apprentice, Bastila, had kept as his Apprentice forever. But most said he had another Apprentice after that. And that was what Sythe had wanted Aromen to see.

Sythe sighed. " I bet he's figured it out by now."

 

Tilra kept her cool and tried her hardest to sense Zarach"...He's concealed...he wouldnt try anything in front of the Selkath or they'll kick the Sith out of here..''she told herself,which was entrely true,she began slowly backing up to the Republic Enclave,but also kept her nearby senses up incase she had to dodge.

 

Zarach laughed at Tilra's attempts at sensing him with the Force. Not with the weak powers of the Light Side, she couldn't. The Light Side simply held back one's true potential and replaced it with a feeling of 'good'.

 

Tilra was getting frustrated,what was he waiting for?''..if your going to attack then do it,dont waste my time...or is it really true that sith need more than one person to fight a jedi?''she said,very amused,perhaps the Sith were all just a bunch of coward's.

 

"Please, if I wanted to you would have been dead hours ago." He said mockingly, showing himself. " But I'm strictly watching. Not attacking." He added.

 

Tilra glared at Zarach"..And why are me and my master so special?...and for the record...you couldnt lay a finger on me..''she said confidently.she was the most powerful padawan currently in the order.

 

"Then were are closer equals than expected." He said, almost sounded like he was complimenting her. " I know things that are forbidden to all but me, Lord Sythe, and Lord Terena herself. Anyone else would be made an exile and killed at the spot if they knew the power." Just to prove his point, he gave a little push at her with the Force. Nothing violent, but just him messing around.
