Judgement in the Stars

[Jayce Vitulas]

Watching the Sith be forcefully shoved from the other hallway, Jayce looked to see if Ravac had taken notice. The two collided, sending Ravoc face first into a glass window at the far end of the hall. Kevros was crawling on his hands and knees away from the Jedi's body. Coughing up blood and appearing not to be completely coherent. Jayce regained his strength, slowly easing his way back onto his feet. The madness still consuming his rationality. He began to walk over to Kevros, not to show sympathy, but for revenge. Kevros had interfered in the battle. Ravac laid on the ground next to the cracked window. After Jayce was done with Kevros, he would finally kill the Jedi.

Jayce began to walk towards the broken Sith. He laughed an odd, sinister laugh. His lightsaber dancing on the wall uninterrupted. "Splendid. Absolutely splendid. Unfortunately, you spoiled my fun. Now you die, then I will finish him." Jayce raised his lightsaber above his shoulder once more. His pale yellow eyes glaring at the man, he once called friend. Then a voice spoke.

"Jay! What the hell are you doing?" It was Jimmy. After Kevros was blown away by the explosive, Jimmy thought it would be a good opportunity to find Jayce.

"Ahhh, Jimmy! You made it just in time for the main event." Jayce's eyes revealed their color change in Jimmy's flashlight.

"Jay. What has happened to you? You look." Hesitating to say what crossed his mind. "You look horrifying."

The fallen man turned to the future space port commander. "I just released what I truly am. I have become stronger in ways, you couldn't possibly imagine. Walk away Jim. I wouldn't hesitate to cut you down."

Tears started to form in Jimmy's eyes. "Jay, I won't let you do this. If you go through with any of these desires, you will be truly lost!"

The Dark Jedi slowly brought his saber down to his side. Looking back at Jimmy and walked towards him. The crimson saber still fully ignited, coursing with energy. The two were now face to face. Jayce's eyes narrowed. "How dare you say that I am the one who is lost? What are you, really? You are just a man. Nothing more. And now, nothing else." The red saber plunged into Jimmy's chest. His hands gripped Jayce's left shoulder. The future space port commander, was stripped of his future. His eyes glimmering with the sad and painful tears.

"Ja..Jay." Jimmy's arm slipped of the mad man's shoulder. Jayce's eyes began to change back to their original electric blue, tears emerged. "JIMMY!" He was gone. The lightsaber was in his heart. Jayce felt like he committed the act on himself. "I'm so sorry Jim... I'm... so sorry." Jayce was babbling like a baby. His hatred faded, grief stood in its place.

The hall was torn from reality the metal floor flew through the dense arena of hell. Metal bars bending as the ceiling began to crumble from above. Steam released into the room with a warming sensation. The hazy mist from the ruptured pipe were few and far between. This caused more problems for both sides then it helped. The grenade wasn't done, the pulses of a shock wave began to emit electrical currents. A tiny form of static ran along the metal floor that was barely left. Sparks from the layered technological walls spit at them all. What was once a well, built structure slowly became a heap of scrap metal.

The suspended bolts of energy that were stuck in the air were let go instead of the energy evaporating.. Darting toward the far end of the hallway, it ricocheted downward. The bolt striking Vize in the back. A non-fatal coincidence, given his satchel of metal ammunition slung over his shoulder. The bolt dissipated before breaching his storm trooper gear. Everything inside the vicinity became a hazy fog, taking on a white heaviness. Vize looked down, Beth missing from where she once took cover. Puzzled about where she might have gone he feared for her life, a pit in his stomach telling him to retreat.

Cid just made it, the internal blast sending tiny specks of metal that rained down on him. Lifting his forearm over his visor to see through the explosion, he watched Kevros violently get thrown to the far end of the space station. His eyes widened, the idea of getting his medical droids to patch him up like before would prove difficult. That didn't matter, what did, was his survival. The blaster fire from the opposing slugs stopped, a sign that things weren't going as they had planned. Cid booked for the outlet, hoping to reach Kevros in time.

Beth was ripped from her cover the blast eating away at the side of her face. The mere heat of the explosion made her numb, her nerves twitching as she lifted to the air. Her red hair weaved itself through the wind the blast had created. The metal floor was torn asunder, a large hulking mass finding Beth as she was jerked upward. The sharp edges of the broken floor forming a long pole made object. The momentum behind it was too much, slipping through the soft pillow of her lungs. Impaled against the only sturdy part of the crumbling ceiling, Beth yakked out a large pool of blood. Her body heaved over like a hanging animal on a hook in a cooler. Her eyes staring at the ruptured hole of where the floor used to be. Blast marks signifying the outer rim damages. She gasped for a moment until blood filled her throat. She couldn't breathe, her pupils slowly dilating from the nerve deep pain. Tears formed around her iris, the once great Violet eyes fading from reality.

A smooth layer of white had reached for her, the coldness of her skin indicating critical damage. The metal pole dripped with a dark liquid, blood. Vize ducked as a random shot came for his head, looking for his subordinate he noticed Cid was also gone. Only this time a pole, tarnished and ripped from the foundation of the floor floated in the center of the walkway. An odd liquid dripping off its slender edge. His eyes followed it to the top, Beth pinned to the ceiling. Vize couldn't believe his eyes, the last person that deserved such fate was her. She was genuine, pure and above all else in it for the greater good. Or so she thought. Vize felt it, phased for the first time. His heart shattered. A deep regret plunging him deep into a state of anger. Vize couldn't say it before or admit it, but he loved her, Beth. The one woman who treated him less of a soldier and more of a friend. His first.

"No!" Shaking his head in a raging manner. "No. No. No. No. Not you... No." His voice dropped into a strained form of depression. "Beth....you...." He tried to hold back his tears. "You stay in there you hear me!" Yelling wouldn't change her inevitable circumstance. Grabbing onto the metal piece of rooted metal, he begged for her life. "Take me damn it! Me!" He screamed to the open hatch way of the already destroyed ceiling. "Arrgghhh! Why her! Why take her!" Vize hadn't felt anything like it, the loss of a secret love he never conveyed. Frantic he fired random shots through the hazy white, the steam refusing to let up. His arms wrapped around the pole holding Beth above. Yanking with all his strength it refused to move.

"Holy Kark! He stopped them in midair! What the..." Roman's voice grew excited.
"You've got to be karking me!" Jeremy said.
"No worries, Kale throw one!" Varus ordered.
"You got it!" Kale complied.

The force absorption that Kevros used gave Kale the right timing as he threw the metal canister forward. The idea of a force user stopping projectiles was unheard of. Only that's not what Kevros intended. Trying to dismantle the energy hanging in the air, a small grenade catching him off guard. Kale was successful, Kevros was not.

"Everyone get into cover!" Screeched Kale.

The grenade setting off a resounding boom. The floor was hurled upwards and sideways, the metal beams holding up the roof broke off from the vast radius of the blast. Pipes busted open, a hot watery mist filling the area. Steam also coming after it, a dewy white. The steam sprayed at Kale as he fell over a random blaster bolt firing off as he lost his balance. Jeremy got stuck with a small piece of sheet metal in his arm. Varus was safe and secure hunkered down a little ways back. Roman was the only one truly lucky. Sheets of giant metal whizzing past as he hiccuped his way to the side in the chaotic shrapnel storm.

"Well I'll be damned! You did it you crazy cowboy!" Jeremy yelled, pulling the small piece of silver flooring out of his arm. "Minor tag here! No worries commander, I'm good."

Just then, a voracious cry came from the heavy clouds encasing them all. Vize letting out a lurching bellow.

The republic troops fell silent.

​

Kevros saw a blinding streak of red, a figure standing over him. It was Jacye, laughing in a foreboding way. Something was off about him, Kevros couldn't tell the sounds of crunching filling his ears. His body still shaking from what he thought was a side effect of trying his new power. This was not the case. Kale had an ace up his sleeve, the grenade not only was destructive. Inside the center of the chamber sat poisonous liquid. Like a tranquilizer the poison sat in a vial waiting to be released. When the grenades outer walls imploded the needle would find its way to a target, in this case, Kevros. Illusions filled him with weakening visions, a tall man in dark clothes playfully poking him.

His eyes seemed completely white as the stiffening stage set in. Like a stone Kevros was frozen, forced to replay the torture of an odd man poking and prodding him. His veins seeping with a black murky toxin. Drooling on all fours he was gone, the paralysis was extremely lethal in battle. Lucky for him, no one was against him.

Yet.

Slipping back into his mind, he watched what he had wrought like a specter. Jayce was outside himself, looking onto the traumatic scene. Screaming for it to stop, it did not. When the blade passed through Jimmy's heart, it was like a great force grabbed onto Jayce's legs and sucked him back into his body. The Darkside was part of the balance but the Dark Jedi felt like it had betrayed him. It had stripped him of his sanity and taken the one person, he considered to be a brother. Tears dropped to the steel plated floor like rain drops. Jayce warned Jimmy to run if there was danger. The soon to be commander of the loading dock was to good of a person to leave a friend behind. He was gone, and the blame laid at Jayce's feet.

Ravac began to wake up from his slumber. His body was in pain, the impact was hard to recover from. Stumbling his eyes fixated on Kevros, paralyzed in front of him. Then looking up, he saw Jayce, mourning over the death of his comrade. "So." Ravac felt a stinging in his ribs. "You killed an innocent man in your anger. How does it feel now?" The injured man was mocking the grief stricken boy.

Jayce turned to gaze at Ravac, tears running down his face. "Like I just killed a part of myself." The words were emotionless. Every breath was painful.

"You learned a valuable lesson today. Take it with you to the grave." Ravac started to fumble towards Jayce. He fell next to Kevros and passed out again. It was too hard for the old man to keep conscious.

Jayce watched as the old man fell, he showed no emotion towards him. He turned his head back to Jimmy. Screams bellowed from the other hallway. It was Vize, his remorse over Beth's death could be heard from the other side of the galaxy. More death was being added to the pile. All of this was the result of what transpired at the Temple of Illumination. It all could have been avoided if Jayce had never gone to that place. The thoughts of Jimmy begging him to stop, was haunting to Jayce. Wishing he had listened or taken control just before his saber met his best friends heart. It was too late to think about what could have happened, what should have happened or even what would have happened. Jayce placed his hand over Jimmy's eyes, slowly pressing his hand down the poor corpses face.

There is no death, there is only the force.

Before the confrontation....​

​

Taric was leaving the Imperial spacecraft, talking to Cid as the two were outside. "I'm going to meet up with a friend, don't tell Kevros where I am going."

"Sir." Cid saluted as he joined up with the rest of the crew.

Taric gradually moved towards residential district, J-36. Going up the stairs was troubling for the old man. Each step was exhausting, he began to reflect on his pass deeds. I used to jump buildings, run miles of ground and use to wrestle Zeer. How the hell did it come to this? Upon reaching the top of the stairs, he found himself short of breath. Recovering, Taric began to move down the hall. A couple was holding each other close, making googly eyes and kissing. Taric reminisced about his love, a brunette girl by the name of Kayla. She meant the world to him and the times they shared, were the best he ever experienced. Those days were over however, it was time to get his head in the game.

Meeting someone now a days was difficult for Taric, the Imperial Army didn't give him much time off. Everyday was a constant battle, it was agonizing for the old man.

"Well if it isn't the grump himself." A man was standing at the entrance of J-36.

"Faren, you scrooge. How have you been?" Faren was the man Taric was meeting today. The history between these two ran deeper than any mine shaft in the galaxy.

"Kayla says hi. She wanted me to give you a kiss. I told her, you'd kill me before I even got close."

"You would be correct Faren. Tell her I send my love."

"Let's get to business, what do you have for me?"

***​

During the confrontation...​

​

Taric was running back to the ship, seeing if the crew was there yet. Loud screams and cries where being heard from the station's central hull. The mercenaries that Kevros hired started running back to their ship, which was conveniently located near Kevros'. Taric yelled to the mercenaries.

"Hey! What the hell is going on here?"

"Huge fight between two Jedi, near the the other side of the hull. We're getting the kark out of here!"

Taric knew what they were talking about. Ravac must have found Kevros and Jayce. I have to get to them.

Cid found the outlined hole in the wall and stepped through. Glass crunched under his feet as he made his way into the room with Kevros, Jayce and Flynt Ravac. Looking around the place looked destroyed, the giant window to the room was shattered, sharp pieces of what remained scattered about. Looking down he found a young man. His eyes shut, turning an unhealthy white. He couldn't worry about anyone else other than Kevros. Cid was a pretty good soldier, but even better medic. Throwing his gun to the floor he placed one knee on the floor. Inspecting Kevros's condition he looked to Jayce.

"We need to get him back to the ship fast. I overheard those republic scumbags, they have reinforcements." Cid said.
"Damn Right, they do." Taric cleared his throat. "What the hell happened to him?"
"Poison." Cid pressed down on a small slender gadget. Activated, it scanned Kevros. All the information on his condition was sent to the datapad Cid left on the ship. "I think it’s lethal, he can't move. It has to be a severe dose of Morp venom."
"Kark. Alright, where's Beth and Vize?" Taric asked, pressed his gun against his shoulder. He looked to Jayce, something seemed off.
"I don't know sir, after the explosion I hightailed it for the hangar bay. Any longer I would have been killed."
"We could only hope Cid."

Taric stepped through the broken window. The crowd of people still running in their respective directions. Patting Cid on the back he walked passed him, headed for the hallway.

"Cid. Jayce. Get him to the ship. I've got to get Beth and Vize."

Just like that Taric ran, disappearing into the distance corridor.

***​

Vize felt weak, he'd been tugging at the pole for what felt like a lifetime. His cheeks stained with streams of wet tears. Frantic and angry he let out a low growl, his strong hands pulling one last time to release Beth from the horrific scene. Beth let out another gasp, barely hanging on as her eyes met Vize's helmet. The dark red liquid from her pieced lung began to flood her breathing. With a little fight in her she tried to speak.

"V....ize." Blood leaked from her lower lip as she hung like a rag doll. "I...I...Knew you." She felt the pole lightly move as Vize coninued his effort to set her free. Beth knew even if he had. She was going to die. Her fingers grew cold, her face becoming less and less lively.

"Don't you dare! Beth!" He looked at her, the pole finally snapping free. Holding her up, he slowly brought her down to the floor, slipping off the metal edge like a loose ring. Vize tossed the metal beam to the side, unaware of what he had done. The impalement and pressure from the ceiling kept her from dying. Vize sped up the process, Beth lying motionless on the torn floor. A pool of blood began to leak out from her chest, Vize ignored the blood as it stained his gear. Grabbing onto her he held her close, crying into her collar bone. The last sound from her dying breath finally made him plunder into a world of sadness. There was no more holding back, the solid stone heart of Vize was officially broken. Beth's words ringing in his head as he squeezed tighter.

I knew you loved me

***​

"Kale, Jerm, and Roman, follow me." Varus demanded.
"Sir we can't just let them get away." Jeremy was eager to hunt them.
"We aren't going to kill a grieving man, every soldier has a code, you got me Jeremy!?" Varus went from commanding to threatening.
"Yes Sir."
"Well we must have killed one of them, serves them right." Kale said.
"Alright enough of chatter. I didn't say we were going to let them get away. We got back up."
"About time." Roman said, his eyes rolling over with sarcasm.
"Let's move."

They turned away from the devastating passageway. They all ran, never hesitating to check their corners as they made it to the closest bridge. Swiping the card, even with the power off it was overridden, the door opening wide as a group of ten or so troopers and an old friend greet them.

"Well Holy Kark! Commander Varus?"
"You said it, Jasper. You got your own group now eh?"
"You betcha, look at these boys. They all fall in line for me, female and all. So where are they?"
"Right, far north side hangar bay. You have to be fast. My men and I need to reload. Jerm needs some medical attention as well."
"I can still fight sir." Jeremy chimed in, a rude gesture speaking out of rank.
"Feisty I like him", she bit her lip and waved at her troops. "Alright men, move out."

Varus watched as they marched onward, Jaspers long black hair slipping out of view with her well trained squad. Looking to Jeremy he shook his head. Sliding a clip into his chamber Varus grinned.

"Talk out of rank again Jerm, I'll be playing target practice with your ass." He stopped looking to Kale. "Well I think our job is done. Our main priority now is to get Flynt back to the ship."
"This is absurd, we should get credit for capturing those hutts!" Jeremy was livid.
"I don't really care Jerm. Either you help us get Flynt, or get treated down the hall. No other option."
"I got your back sir." Roman said.
"Let's move rookie."

Varus made for the door Kale hesitant to follow. Shaking his head he followed. Jeremy straggling behind.

***​

Kevros could hear it, his heart. Like a old ritual drum cursing him. The numbing feeling in his chest began to lose effectiveness and he felt the daggers next. The toxin had reached its second stage, pain. His nerves refused to let him move, the paralysis was still apparent. Only now a sharp razor was felt in his lungs, more drool leaking from his mouth as he tried to breathe. His stomach felt turned, the sensation of regurgitation tickling his throat. Kevros' body was hard at work trying to combat the sludge like attack in his veins. The world around him seemed to be drowning out the more he experienced the pain. Slightly able to hear those around him he knew Cid was near. A medic was a perfect asset to have.

Twitching, Kevros felt another jabbing knife in his lung. This allowed him to make a rough growl, his face contorting into a helpless subject. He felt something in his brain, a loud thrum blocking out everything once and for all. It wasn't fear that plagued him now. It was the sound of his own heart slowing. The venom latching on to his very soul, drifting him deeper into an eternal rest. The only thing flashing through his mind was the streak of red lightning he had seen so many times before. The force was still with him,

But so was death...

[Jayce Vitulas]

Cid entered for the hole in the wall, spotting Jimmy's body first. Looking to Kevros, he ran over to assist him. Jayce felt Cid's eyes fall onto him. The Dark Jedi looked away, ashamed. Taric entered the room a few moments later. Another pair of eyeballs were burning the back of Jayce's head. He felt disgusting.

Taric soon left the room, but not before telling Cid and Jayce to take Kevros back to the ship. Jayce rose from the ground and gazed at Ravac. If Jayce didn't have honor, he would finish the Jedi off without a second thought. But that wasn't Jayce's style. He didn't feel anything after killing Jimmy. It was cold inside his heart, it was dead.

Cid and Jayce began to pick up Kevros, he was heavy but Jayce figured it was because he was losing strength. The ship was on the other side of the central hull. This is going to be a pain.

The two man dragged the Sith's limp body back to the Imperial cruiser. Jayce throw Kevros on his back and carried him into the ship, Cid followed behind. Laying Kevros on the medical table, Cid began to work.

"So what happened when you ran?" the Imperial trooper asked while readying the medical prob.

"I confronted the Jedi. I lost."

"I see. What happened to that guy back there? Was he your friend?"

"He was my best friend." Tears began to stream down Jayce's face again. "I killed him." Jayce was choking up as he was speaking.

"What?! Why?!" Cid looked at Jayce, stopping what he was doing.

"Fix him!" Jayce snapped

Cid returned to fixing up Kevros, if he took any long, the Sith would die.

"I let the Darkside take over.... It cost me more than I would ever dream." Emotional, Jayce left the ship. He was done talking.

***​

Taric was running down the large corridor, he needed to find Vize and Beth. Turning the corner to the next hall, he saw Vize. The Imperial trooper was holding Beth tightly, tears hitting the ground like a waterfall. Taric approached the grieving soldier, shocked at what he was seeing. The old man remembered the time he first met Beth. The young woman was an initiate when he first met her. Full of energy and determination, she was ready to jump into anything that was presented to her. A small tear rolled down Taric's face. He wanted to tell her something when he was ready, but now that day will never come. Hearing the marching of feet, Taric knew it was Flynt's rescue team. It was time to move.

Grabbing onto Vize's shoulder.

"We need to leave." Taric said calmly.

"I can't leave her here captain. I loved her." The saddening tone hit the old war hero hard.

"I understand Son, but we need to go. I'll care Beth if you'd like?"

"No, I couldn't ask that of you. I'll take her."

Taric helped load Beth onto Vize's back. The two took off as fast as possible. Beth's body was slipping, Taric placed his hand on her, adding support. They made it back to the ship without being spotted. Jayce was standing outside waiting for them.

"How's Kevros?"

"Cid is working on him as we speak. When he wakes up, tell him to meet me at the location we spoke about."

"Location? What location?" Taric was confused.

"I guess if you had been here with the others, maybe you'd know." Jayce should no remorse with his words. Not having Taric on the battlefield was not good for them. It could have made a difference.

"How dare y.." Taric was cut off.

"Save it. I'm out of here."

Jayce returned to the Raptor's Claw. Docking Station Z22F was no longer his home. It died with Jimmy.

[Orion Darkstar]

Cid was diligent with his work, especially when it came to the young Sith on the table. Kevros may have been a killer, but he saved Cid more times than he could count. Reaching for the packet of antidotes he decided on one. Slipping the vial into the flimsy wires of the medical probe floating nearby. Turning Kevros over, Cid slammed a needle into his back and released the dosage.

"Should be up and running in no time sir." Cid said.

The loud footsteps of the others rushed in, Beth slouched over Vize's back. Cid looked to see what was going on. Before he could ask anything, Taric cut him off

"Look at Beth Now! I can fly, Vize I need you to detach the landing grips."
"But sir!"
"Just do it, now! That's a karking order!"
"But Beth...." Vize was interrupted by Cid.
"Don't worry brother, I got her." Cid said.

Cid grabbed at her lifeless body, moving her next to Kevros. Anymore injured soldiers and they would have to start using the floors. The ramp of the ship closed in the background, as Cid went to work. Looking to Vize, he waved him off.

"Vize go! I'll do all I can." Cid was adamant, without the release of the landing grips the republic troopers would find them.

Vize ran as the sound of the thrusters turned on. The ship lifted as he pressed down on the first release button toward the engine room. Three more and they would be safely out of the way of the republic clutches. The sudden shake of the interceptor started to make Vize lose his balance. Stumbling into the wall he made his way to the other end of the ship. Pressing down on two more release buttons the ship jerked sideways. The last grip of the landing platform snapping as the craft was set free.

Taric grabbed the controls like he had back in the days of the great war on his home world. Defending anything that lurched above in the sky. Rotating the large machine it moved slowly forward. The window in front of him showing streaks of blaster fire whizzing passed. The republic troopers had found them, but they were too late. Slamming his hand down onto the console he pushed inward. The interceptor churned once again before letting loose, accelerating out of the hangar bay. The vessel rocked slightly as a loud bang came from behind the ship, the republic's efforts resulting in a failure to bring them down.

The bright stars of deep space began to warp out of focus until they turned into solid white lines, Kevros and his men had reached light-speed.

***​

"It's alright men, we'll get them for sure next time." Jasper said to her group of ten well maintained troops. "Plus I got a tracking device on their ship. Let them live for another day, back to the ship."

Jasper stood staring into the distant void of space, nothing else reaching her mind but the sweet taste of a hunt.

The tiny suns filled the empty spaces of the galaxy, a ripple in the force signifying loss.

[SIZE=11pt]A true judgement to those living among the stars, waiting for their everlasting purpose....[/SIZE]

[Jayce Vitulas]

The stars were burning brighter than usual. Everything was flowing, stronger. The Raptor's claw was entering hyperspace and Jayce felt his strength slowly returning. Recollecting the moments in his mind, the day he arrived at the spaceport years ago. It felt like only yesterday he was hungry and out of credits. Jimmy stood there like an angel, sent to watch over him. The day Jayce finally got off the station was one of the hardest for him. He found a brother among the stars and left to continue his training. Jimmy stayed at the station for all of those years, trying to become the commander of it all. He was there, day in and day out. The memories of showing up almost dead was burning in Jayce's head. His friend was always there to feed him, give him shelter and make him feel at home. Jayce never returned to his home world once he left almost four years ago, that port was his home. He couldn't believe that it was gone to him now. All of it, gone forever.

Pulling his saber off his belt, he glared at it. The thoughts of the this weapon roaring in Jimmy's heart was agonizing. Jayce threw it across the tiny T-85. His most prized possession gave him nothing but grief. The crimson saber was nothing but a haunting memory of what he had done. For a moment, Jayce reconsidered going to Lahn to seek out Master Monarch. The Force cried out to him. Listening, he heard it say, "Never look back." He couldn't turn on his ideals now. It was his duty to see this thing through. Jimmy would have wanted it to see this finished. I will learn this Electric Judgement. I will control the Darkside again. I must keep pressing forward. Jayce's natural thought process was returning and he was easing back into his normal self. It would take a long time to forgive what he had done, but that was for later. Once he reached Master Monarch, it would all become clear.

Moving to the back of his ship, Jayce picked up the saber hilt. Looking at it again, and then attaching it back to his belt. Jayce set his course for Lahn.

***​

On the planet of Lahn​

​

The Raptor's Claw made its descent onto the planet. The planets warm breeze flew over the grassy plains and splashed over Jayce's face. For a minute, he thought of it as Jimmy, thanking him for completing his journey. The grief seemed to simmer but not fully fade. Master Ravac's words began to fill his mind. "You learned a valuable lesson today. Take it with you to the grave." Jayce would take it with them to his grave, but not yet. No, there was still work to be done. Climbing over the grassy hills, filled with dandy lions and other exotic plants, the Dark Jedi began to sense a presence. The aura was in perfect harmony. No light without dark, no dark without light. He began to run closer, the closer he got, the better he felt. A rock wall ten meters tall stood in the way. Jayce force jumped to clear the obstruction. Before him, stood a little wooden shack. The force was pulsating. Jayce had finally found him. Master Monarch.

Final Judgement was upon him.
