Korriban-Dark secrets

[Darth Angelus™]

(Already near Aeon at the time, I dashed forward and stopped in front of Aeon and activated my saber, the green blade pointed upward in just enough time to block his swing. Taking a step back I was able to bare with the strength behind the attack).

"This isn't the way Vax. Turn on your dark mentor and come back to us"

(I push him back and went into the Soresu fighting stance, he indeed was using Juyo, that would acount for the strength, I must keep my energy reserved so I can overcome my friend and bring him back).

(I knew he didn't want this, he didn't want to kill us. But I stood firm in front of Aeon not backing down. I wasn't going to let Aeon get injured or killed by a mistake I made. My eyes were focused entirely on Vax. He was not going to have it easy).

"Don't do this Vax, don't"

[Aeon Kensho™]

(Realizing Vax was under the spell of the Darkside, Words wouldn't move him. Not yet at least. Vax almost for both of us to handle with Juyo with him. He has an edge of us, We would both have to face Vax to stand a chance.)

(My robe flows out as I use force jump. Jumping over both Ronok and Vax I land behind Vax. Hy saber comes to my hand as i hold both out. My orange blade snaps on with a soft hiss. Swinging down at the back of Vax's left foot. It was an Ataru slash diagonal it moved away not to hit a full on slash. The swing come from high on my right side, pulling the swing back at the last moment. Only seeking to stop the fight, Not for loss of the leg. A small slash from a saber and incapacitate your opponent.)

(Maim before kill, This was the way of the Jedi. If killing could be avoided it would. Pushing my hilt into Vax's mask covering his face if he turned. Using my silvery hilt as a melee weapon I swing down switching into a Djem so linked swing. Swinging down vertically at Vax I push with all my might.)

(He was stronger then before it seemed. It would take both of us to take him down, If we could. Juyo was with him I recognized the stance from holo's. Utilizing seamless transitions between forms might throw Vax off a little. Part of me, Knew that it wouldn't though. We I faced Vax in his Ataru trial his transitions between forms was perfection.)

[Vax Kote™]

-Zaken took a gradual step back after Ronok had blocked the attack. In mixture with his red lightsaber a green one now had came forward. Then from behind another lightsaber illuminated the room. It was Aeons orange bladed lightsaber. He managed to jump behind him. Zaken turned slightly switching to the mastered form of Ataru. He moved the blade over to his right side and blocked the attack grasping tightly onto his lightsaber with his other hand. The two blades clash together illuminating the room with sparks of light. Zaken pushes the attack away turning to Aeon.-

-His silvery hilt into the mask that he wore. He took a gradual step back switching back into Juyo stance just in time to connect with Aeon's Djem So linked swing that came down vertically at him. Zaken angles his lightsaber in his one hand blocking the attack and pushes him away with all the strength that Juyo had to offer. It almos seemed like they where evenly matched trying to over-come each others strengths.-

-Gathering the force around him; it circulated around him and through him giving him the strength needed to hold his own in this fight. While he held his silver and black hilt in his right hand Zaken used his left hand in an attempted force push aimed at Aeon's gut. He pulled away from Aeon's orange blade and turned around in a 180 degree turn. The red blade of his lightsaber swung through at a horizontal attack towards Ronok. Completing the swing Zaken aimed a strengthened force push at Ronok hopping to send him back into the wall behind him.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Don't think you can beat me my old friend. The strength of Juyo is now with me. It will shatter your defenses and kill you both."[/glow]
-Zaken's dark red robes hung loosely on his back. The redness of his lightsaber blade illuminated the area from which he stood in. His eyes holding a strong sense of anger within them. Deap down he did not want to pull through with this but he also knew that Aeon and Ronok would find a way to stop the darkness controlling him; even if it mean killing him.-

[Aeon Kensho™]

(Just as I thought Vax make quick work of my attacks. Hoping to remove his mask I see that failed as well. Just as my attack is finished I see Vax lifting his hand. There is no time!)

(Catching me off balance just after my swing I fly back at the wall. The Force push sends me crashing in the wall which cracks a little upon my impact. My silvery hilt hit the ground as I was sent flying. The orange blade extinguished. Just them more of the wall falls upon me. Using the Force I lift the stones off. Incapacitated for a moment I struggle to pull some of the large stone off with my bare hands. Down but not out I do my best to get back to my feet.)

[Darth Angelus™]

(I see Aeon being thrown across the room, so I leaped at Vax, dodging his force push and sent out a force repluse when I was close enough to him. The push was strong enough to break some nearby pillars).

(Once I landed I swsung diagonally at his chest for my right hip to my left shoulder. I then jumped over his head and switched forms to Ataru, I then whilst in mid air slashed at his head. I landed in the crouched position and rolled backward. There was no doubt Vax was stronger).

"Though you attack Aeon I still belive there is good in you! Fight the raging darkness in you Vax! There is still time!"

(I remembered his nickname he was called, it was worth a shot, but it might not work, and it might just work).

"Tal, you are strong yes, and you are strong enough to renounce the darkside!"

[Vax Kote™]

-While Aeon was down Zaken kept his focus on his friend that was considered like his brother. The only person who held a care for him in the galaxy and would fight hard just to bring him back.-

-Ronok had managed to dodge both the force push attack and the lightsaber swing but Zaken was ready he allowed the repulse to send him back a few feet toward Aeon but he kept his ground using the force to stop him any further. Zaken brought his lightsaber up at a diagnol blocking the chest attack. Just as the blade connected they quickly dis-connected. Ronok jumped over him aiming a hard Ataru strike towards his head. Zaken turned catching the strike in mid air with the defense of Juyo. The blades again dis-connect allowing Ronok to catch some distance between the two.-

-The red and green blade illuminated brightly in the room. Zaken held his own hilt down at an angle. His dark red robe caught a slight breeze of the cold air that circulated through the room from which they stood in.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Vax is gone Ronok; he disappeared during the torture. You are facing Zaken now. Nothing you say can bring your friend back."[/glow]
-After Ronok said the name 'Tal' something inside of him broke loose. It was like the real Vax was trying to break free and stop what his darker side wanted to ful-fill. He took a gradual step back nearly stumbling. He lowered his head; memories of Ronok and Aeon filling into his head. He opened his eyes; a crystal blue color like they where and like many had seen them. However, the darkness quickly clouded over him again. He looked up at Ronok his crystal blue eyes turning to an angered yellow and red tone color.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"The darkness is here to stay Ronok."[/glow]
-He twirled the blade in his hand. Extending his left hand out he force pulled Aeon's silver hilt into his hand. Upon reaching his hand the lightsaber activated in an orange glow. He rushed forward to Ronok holding both lightsabers in a Juyo stance. Coming in close he swung both blades across himself. The red blade from right to left across his chest and the orange blade from left to right across his stomach. He turned around in a complete 180 turn and aimed a kick towards Ronok's stomach to finish off his attack.-

-The two blades glowed brightly in his grasp; the orange blade coloring a brighter side of Zaken and the red blade coloring the darker side of himself. His eyes showed a bright color of anger behind them the anger fueling him along with the darkside of the force.-

[Darth Angelus™]

(Vax used the force and brought Aeon's hilt to his hands and avtivated it. He then rush at me, I acivated the other blade on my saber staff and brought my blade vertically stopping both attacks to my chest and my stomach. With some strength I spun my hilt around 180 degrees forcing both blades into a spin, that might make Vax lose his grip on the hilts).

"Give up and I won't hurt you. You are like my brother, I consider you family!"

(I prayed that he would come back if not then I could only imagine the devastaion he could cause as a Sith. He is a powerfull warrior. I slipped back into a neutral position, I did this so he won't know what form I might use. I hope...).

[Aeon Kensho™]

(Not able to take all the rocks off of me in time. I produce a Force shock wave in front of myself. Sending the rocks hurling off of me. Pushing back on my back I slide out from under the pile of rocks. In a quick Force leap at Vax i use a specialized power. Knowing Vax had never seen this Force technique.)

(Lifting my hands I shoot a Force ray at Vax's masked face. This was a combination power. It held the Force of a push, The ray had different side effects on the target. I would use this power to sever Force at other times. It can wash away Darkside energy with its strong Lightside energy.)

(The ray it bright white, Even if the defender could resist the other effects it also has the chance of blinding the defender. It was an unpredictable power. The chances of it severing Vax;s connection to the Force seemed slim, If it even hit him. He defense after master Shien seemed to have moved to a very progressed level. He was using Juyo and this form left it's user at risk to Force powers.)

(Hoping to use this weakness I land next to Vax kicking at his wrist holding my silvery lightsaber hilt. There was a chance he might drop my saber, but I couldn't count on that. Not having a saber is not necessarily the end. The Force was a powerful ally. My robes follow my movements with a subtle elegance to them. I lift my hands in the Trakata stance palms held open pointing upward.)

[Vax Kote™]

-Ronok had managed to block both attacks of Juyo aimed across his chest and stomach. If they had landed Ronok would have been killed. However, what Ronok had managed to do was spin his hilt in a 180 direction. This caused Zaken to be pushed back a few feet and loose the grip of his own silver and black lightsaber. The hilt clanked to the ground de-activating upon contact. He however, still had a loose grip on Aeon's lightsaber.-

-He turned seeing Aeon coming at him. The force had a strong effect with his master. A force ray came from Aeon towards Vax. It was something that Zaken had not seen before or even heard of it from the archives. It was something very much new to him. The ray made contact with Zaken sending him back a few feet. The sith mask that he wore flew from his face landing on the ground about five to ten feet away from him. Aeon, then landed next to him and landed a kick on him which lossened his grip on the silver hilted lightsaber more. He stumbled to the side dropping Aeon's silver hilt.-

-Turning to both Aeon and Ronok he kept a firm stance. Their intentions where divided; they focused more on bringing him back from the darkness rather then protecting themselves. He gripped his hands tightly. With no weapon in hand he still helpd a good amount of strength to bring an end to his past. Zaken looked up allowing the light to show his face.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"That's funny Ronok because there is a good chance that I may hurt you."[/glow]
-Zaken raised his hands and grasped onto the dark red robe that he wore. He lowered the hood revealing the rest of his fact and then pulled the rest of the cloak off throwing it over revealing the black sith attire he now wore. His gaze remained fixed and firm on his two opponents. His own lightsaber on the ground still. A cold breeze moved through the room hitting up against Zaken's face. His stance and posture on the defense.-

[Darth Angelus™]

(Vax had taken off his cloak and the mask, showing us who he now is. He looked no different except for the large scars covering him from torture, I could not stand the sight).

[glow=green,2,300]"If you wish to doc harm to me then fine. I will won't fight back"[/glow]
(I deacivated my lightsaber and threw away, then I pulled out my blue lightsaber and threw that away aswell. I stretched my arms out showing him what I speak is true).

[glow=green,2,300]"You came here to save lives. But as this you will only destroy them, is this really you?"[/glow]

(I stood firm awaiting any treachery, I knew Sith better than Vax might think, he should remember that I spent a while being tortured by Sith because I survived his attempt to kill me. Then he dumped me on Dxun where I spent a few years. But I know Korriban and its evil. And I know Vax isn't evil, there is good in him fighting for control).

[Vax Kote™]

[glow=green,4,000]"If you wish to doc harm to me then fine. I will won't fight back"[/glow]
-Zaken stood firm watching as Ronok threw his lightsabers away and extended his arms out. Something inside of him told him not to attack but the darkness inside of him held a firm grasp of wanting to accomplish the task of eliminating his past. It was what the sith wanted him to do and it was what the darker side of himself wanted him to do.-

[glow=green,4,000]"You came here to save lives. But as this you will only destroy them, is this really you?"[/glow]
-Was it? Was this him; destroying lives after he took an oath to the jedi of saving lives. It was like that when he fought as a clone soldier during the Clone Wars. That was what he was bred for....to save lives and not take them. Order 66 was just an order issued by Palpatine to eliminate the jedi. That was a dark memory but he casted it aside because he was now a jedi in the republic. He had a family that cared for him. He was no longer considered a clone. He was a jedi. The good inside of him knew it, Aeon knew it, and even Ronok knew it.-

-He took a quick glance around; and then he snapped....yelling out he ran forward to Ronok force pulling the silver and black hilt into his hand. The hilt came to life in a blood red color. He held the hilt firmly in his right hand as he moved in closer and closer to Ronok. He brought the red blade out and then swung in at Ronok in a one handed Juyo slash at his stomach.-

-Then from no where he stopped remembering what he had accomplished as a jedi. What he had become. It stood with him; it would never leave. He lowered his head feeling the respect he had earned in the jedi order. They where family, more like brothers that stook by each other until the bitter end. Zaken's eyes turned from the yellow and red anger color to the normal color of crystal blue. The red blade of the lightsaber was only inches away from Ronok's stomach. He closed his eyes bringing the silver and black hilt away from Ronok; the red blade zipping back into the hilt. He took a deap breath of air and sighed.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"No this is not me. I took an oath in the order of the jedi that I would protect and save lives just as I did during the Clone Wars. I don't want to repeat what I did during the Galactic Civil War. Those are not my intentions; they.....never were."[/glow]
-He opened his hand allowing the silver and black hilt to drop to the ground. The hilt clanked on the ground and rolled a few inches to the side. He then fell to his knees; his hands falling to the ground. He closed his eyes knowing that everything that he had done; all the pain he went through all the trouble he put his brothers in would not pass by. He knew that there was a possibility that the order would not accept him back in the order for his actions. He would be an outcast just like he was before after he left the Galactic Empire.-

[Aeon Kensho™]

(Using the Force to both my silvery hilt in my right hand and Zaken's black and silver hilt in my left. Neither blade was activated. Looking to Vax the Lightside flowing through me. My Aura sends waves of light out into the dark chamber. The healing effects of the Lightside of the Force at work.)

"It is not our mistakes that define us. It is how we recover after mistake that defines us. The Lightside of the Force has profound healing abilities. It is not too late to return to the Jedi order. We can help heal your wounds. With the Lightside of the Force all heals."

(Sending Lightside healing energy at Vax I hope it can heal calm his anger. Sending Lightside energy through my Solari crystal in my hilt. It is a strong lightside artifact, It acts as a beacon in the darkness. The Darkside is not stronger then the Lightside of the Force no matter what the Sith might say. Compassion guides my actions hoping to reach a non violent end to this encounter.)

[Vax Kote™]

-His breathing slowed; Aeon's words entered ito his mind. They were words that always calmed him and kept in check. Zaken was still within him trying to claw his way out and strike down on Aeon and Ronok. It was a never ending darkness but deap down the lightside of the force would have a stronger effect to it. All around Vax was not a man that was bent on destroying lives. He was a man brought here to save them as a jedi.-

-There he stood on the ground; the silver and black hilt had left his side into Aeon's hand. The dark presence of the sith lightsaber was now away from him. He had used his gold and black lightsaber in attack and yet he still felt connected to the weapon in some way. His eyes remained closed. The lightside of the force pushing its way into Vax pushing the darkness away from his heart and pushing the darkness that was Zaken away.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Master...the darkness took control of me. You really think it is wise to allow me back into the order after what I did to you and......Ronok. I failed in my attempts to keep certain individuals safe; I went against the oath I took when I became a jedi."[/glow]
-He could feel the lightside of the force pushing further into him; slowly it was calming him. But he still saw the mistakes he made when the darkness had controlled him. All the torture he had gone through was because one siths intentions of using an individual of good heart to kill the ones he cared for the most. Vax had over-come the darkness inside him; the darkness that wanted to kill Ronok and Aeon.-

[Aeon Kensho™]

"Redemption is possible. With the Lightside of the Force all wounds may heal. We will have to return to Coruscant. We will use the healing crystals of fire to heal your wounds, in the Force and physically."
(Placing my silvery hilt on my belt. I place Zaken's Sith lightsaber on the back on my belt to keep it out of sight.)

"My ship has been damaged on the way to the surface. We might have to head to dreshdae starport to find a shuttle. I sense Jadoch is in danger. He is quite capable, Yet still I do hope he is alright."

[Darth Angelus™]

(I walked to Vax and patted him on his right shoulder. He was a good man, he must have gone through hell to be turned to the Sith).

[glow=green,2,300]"A strong man resists the temptation. But a stronger man pulls him or herself out of the person they had become"[/glow]
(I turned and walked to the exit. I felt it too, Jadoch was in danger, but I was sure he could handle it. I used the force and brought my lightsabers to my hands. I placed my saber staff to my black belt and turned to Vax and threw my single bladed hitl to him).

[glow=green,2,300]"You can use it until you create a new saber. You might need it"[/glow]
(I then turned to my master I could sense someone else nearby, I placed my hand on Aeon's shoulder and whispered in his ear).

[glow=green,2,300]"Someone is here master. I can sense hatred and above all else betrayal. I think you should get Vax out of here. My fighter is outside, take it and I'll get a shuttle out of here"[/glow]
(I took a step back and acivated my green saber staff, both ends erupted from the hilt and hummed softly. I walked into the center of the room. I turned and nodded to both of them).
