Kindred Spirits (Kezeroth)

[Fenri]

The shouting from Keze wasn't helping any. It was breaking my focus because he had to be so damn impatient. Instead of calm thoughts I was getting annoyed. It started to get worse with each barking order he gave. It was easy for him to say anyways. Wasn't like he was a small little clone with a broken past as no real identity other than a name stolen from another. Everything about it was just making her more upset.

Finally, even as Saverok started telling me to focus, I changed my thoughts from calm to anger. And then, in one swift motion, I held my hand out again and the beam shot up into the air. It took a moment for me to realize what I'd done before reaching out with the force to catch it before it could hit the ground. Both hands were out and they were shaking, even as I was giving a little sweat too. Holding it wasn't as easy as it seemed as I now had to keep my focus on whatever it was that made me move it before. Apparenlty being annoyed at Keze was more payoff than I thought.

His Lessons were working and they always did, As the Beam lifted Kezeroth smiled " Good..." He chuckled and extended his hand to shock her with Force lightnin, it was a Weak burst but would expose her body to the Darksides power, It also posed a reward for the future. " Feed the Darkside your Emotaions and it will feed you..Again lift it." The repeated process would strengthen her and help her awareness to the Force grow.

Saverok in the background smiled " I'll leave you two to train.." and walked off, as soon as he had arrived he had left, Figures. Kezeroth nodded and crossed his arms again. In his twisted mind he thought of ways to break the girl and make her strong. He would have to expose her to the Force and explain what it was unless she knew that much. The foundation she had was strong, but basic at the same time. The Gen'Dai pondered on where she came from and her life as a slave.

" Where were you born?" he asked her while waiting for her to lift the beam again.

As soon as I'd settled I looked to Keze when he'd actually given me a complment for my perfomance. At first I thought I was starting to get to him, but then the next thing I knew I was hit by a sudden burst of force lighting. It was small but enough to knock me off my feet. I screamed as I flew back and his the groudnd before feeling the surge of energy, raw and powerful, going through my body. It hurt but as it subsided it began to feel....good.

I sat up, trying to catch my breath, before seeing Saverok walk off and Keze tell me how this was all part of making me stronger. I could start to see why, I just wish it didn't hurt so damn much. But I didn't have time to argue or the like before he told me to get back to lifting the beam again. I caught my breath and got back to my feet before reaching out again, this time rasing the beam more gently while using my thoughts of anger to help me keep it afloat.

When he asked where I was born I answered "I wasn't 'born'. I was grown. In a tube, in some lab stationed in the outer rim. Near.....Utapua, I think."

[member="Kezeroth the Hateful"]

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

What? The Gen'Dai tilted his head and he fell into a gaze. He was again in the lab, in the tube he watched and could see the faces of the Doctors that grew him. His eyes shifted and he looked around. One could tell that he was having some sort of experience in his mind. Breaking out of it Kezeroth then observed [member="Fenri"] current consecration and questioned himself. He was now guess at why he saved this girl, she was similar to him hen ow fully realized.

-She is a clone...- he said to himself and blinked some. Kezeroths gaze fell on the floating beam and he gripped it with the Force Crushing it into a Ball. The metal creaked and moan as it bent, [member="Fenri"] would be force to change her grip and put in more focus since the weight was now in one place.

" Why?" he watched her closely.

 

[Fenri]

I guess that anser I'd given him was a little hard to accept, given how Keze stood there for a while. I glanced to him now-and-then but needed to keep my focus on the beam. I was doing well enough until he seemed to snap out of whatever daze he was in and then turn the beam into a ball. It had fallen with a hard clunk to the ground before I had a chance to catch it, making me shoot him an annoyed glance.

A braced myself again before he asked why I was made. It was a little hard to answer, given everything I'd gone through just to recall all those things I'd learned from the jedi and sith and scientists who made me.

Still looking to the metal ball I answered "There were a group of people who felt that the galaxy needed the Jedi back. The 'real' jedi of old who fought in the Clone Wars. Originally I was meant to be brought back as Master Luminara, but no one knew that some of the so-called Jedi enthusiasts were actually Sith. They managed to convince the others to change my genetic makeup by adding more DNA. It was Sith. They wanted to make me into a weapon....and they succeded."

The anger of remembering all of theose who I killed, including the Sith who tried to use me, made it easier as I used both hands and formed a cupping motion with them. Reaching out with the force I was able to lift the metal ball, still struggling to keep it up though.

[member="Kezeroth the Hateful"]

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

The Gen'Dai took a moment to think and pondered. Did this mean [member="Fenri"] was SIth? or used like him. He was unsure, his hate told him to act and so he did, moving the Ball slowly he shifted its position till it was directly over her. Soughing at the phrase Jedi and growling at the mention of the Sith Kezeroth walked forward one step " The CloneWars was long ago... Typical of the Sith to produce a clone. The fact that you were used is Interesting, you were dumped and left to die how does that make you feel?" his voice tuned in on how he himself felt when he was a enslaved monster to the Sith.

Sighing Kezeroth asked " Sith are weak.. Their fanatic belief to gain power by breaking the darkside to their will is a fools tactic... And dont even get me started on the Jedi..." he glared at [member="Fenri"] returning the annoyed glare to her.

" So tell me what are you.." he glared at her then to the Giant crushed beam above her, She was doing quite well for now.

 

[Fenri]

It'd felt the ball being pulled from my own force hold until I realized Keze was doing this. I watched as it went right over my head before I looked to him, a little worried he might try to drop it on me. If he did I was ready to use the force to run as fast as I could out of the way. That was one trick I'd learned as well.

As he went on telling how he hated the Sith and the Jedi, I was inclined to agree. I hated the Sith for what they did but the Jedi for making me into what I was. They were fools to trust the Sith and so I was created and then turned against them. I became a living weapon they both tried to use against the other. And int he end they were gone and I was left without true identiy.

When he mentioned me being abandoned I snapped at him "I wasn't! They started killing each other and I was forced to help. And then when it was done I killed the Sith too!" The anxious tone in my voice indicated I was waiting to see what he was going to do with the ball. After he asked me what I was I hesitated before saying "I'm....I don't know. I'm....a clone. A modifed clone."

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

It was hard to trust... The pain it caused Kezeroths mind to try again always laid there. As he held the ball of metal in his grip his eyes reflected that he wanted to destroy her but he did not. He grunted and tossed the ball besider, close enough to scare her but far enough to not cause harm. The Gen'Dai then shook his head and took a seat in a meditative stance, He listened to the agony that was the Undercity, his anger was not at [member="Fenri"] but more towards his past. Pieces of metal rattled and floated around him as he started to speak.

" 2503 years ago I was... Grown." He paused and stared at [member="Fenri"]. He struggled to say more and set himself to focus on the Darkside. He knew that their would be questions because he himself had questions. Closing his eyes and gnashing his teeth, he sat quietly and let the natural sounds of the Undercity to fill the air.

[member="Fenri"]

 

[Fenri]

I could see it in his eyes again. Keze was troubled by something. Maybe what I said. I wasn't sure at first. Not until he dropped the ball so close to me I jumped a little. My heart had skipped a beat from the sudden hard clang of the metal against the floor before I watched him take a seat. I stood there, wonder what he was up to now, before he began to use the force to bend steel objects all around him. And then he told me enough.

He was grown too? He was a clone then? Like me? It was hard to believe. I knew clones had been made before but it was a suprise to find one who had such power and was like me, able to use the force while probably being made for some darker purpose. Starting to sense a sort of kindread spirit (title drop lol) I walked over and sat in front of him in the same stance.

"The Sith...?" I asked, suspecting they had something to do with his creation.

[member="Kezeroth the Hateful"]

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

And there it was the Question that came. Though focusing he could still speak and have his meditation un-altered. Kezeroth had captured Fenri's attention and he felt her movements as he copied his stance and was prepared to listen as if it was story time. Raising a brow he said " Yes and No... I was ordered to be created by two brilliant but foolish minds... With Saveroks DNA as a Template they created me, the purpose I do not know... During the Final states the Sith of Old captured me and their on Korriban i was tortured, experimented on and used for 1500 years! I served them as a Slave to move large objects physically and when i served my purpose i was cast aside to guard some Karking Siths Tomb." Kezeroth opened his eyes, they burned with a Fiery hate. The floating metal shards slowly were crushed in place. His mood of Destruction seems to pass and he twitched some. " It was during that time I heard Its call... The DarkSide Spoke Personally to me in that time of Isolation. I had been gifted with the Force from the start But I never knew of it. The Sith reguarded me as some Beast and so i acted as one to survive and when they fell weak i broke free embracing all that was me. My Emotion and feelings fully expressed destroyed those in my path. He paused some and continued.

" The Darkside an Aspect of the Force as a Will of its own.. I act as the Darksides Will.. I am its Embodiment, I do not attempt to bend it to my will but I obey and preform its." An excelent explaination why kezeroth show cased advanced Darkside Degradation all over his body and why his power was so strong. Whether it was to believed or not Kezeroths connect to the Darkside was held correctly and his years of being in its grasp was the real reason he was this way.

" The SIth will fall.." he muttered.

I was truly captivated by Keze's story the whole time he told it. I couldn't belive half of what I heard to begin with. So apparenlty Saverok was the original and Keze was a clone from him. No wonder they looked so much alike and yet had so many variations. And then it hit me more when I found out he was over 1500 years old. I couldn't beleive it. I didn't even think something could live that long, let alone endure tourture for all that time. And I thought the months I'd spent as a slave were bad but it turns out Keze had been through worse for far longer and at the hands of the Sith too. Something else we had in common. But then he went on about being called by the darkside itself. While I found that harder to beleive I could see how convinced he was that it was the darkside itself. I just sat and nodded as he told and finished with his hatred for the Sith.

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

The muscles in Kezeroths faces contracted examining her face, he reacted like Saverok. Fascinated yet in doubt in some areas, it did not matter Kezeroth did not need to prove to anyone that was was called it was his own destiny. The time for Stories had ended and Kezeroth rose to his Feet looking down at [member="Fenri"] " You are in my debt and will serve me till I deem fit, If you Run I will capture you and make you wish you were dead..." he paused. " I will offer you power and teach you how to use it, You will be trained as I was..Fenri. You are to be my Apprentice and Steward." he said as if it was and offer but it really was not.

Fenri was stuck with Kezeroth whether she liked it or not, She had no choice really. It was interesting statement on Kezeroths part though he had never owned a slave before, he had no soft spot in his heart for them either. He used the word Steward because it was true, he would not treat her as a slave he knew how that was. He believe this would workout fine aslong as they both saw it eye to eye.

" You may be able to find a Weapon in the piles of corpses, good luck finding a Lightsaber in there.." he said smiling, the Piles were of dead sith Acolytes and while having plenty of robes and Vibro-Swords a undamaged lightsaber that functioned would be rare. Most of the Sith lightsabers Kezeroth Salvaged to make his own.

[member="Fenri"]

 

[Fenri]

The way he made it all sound pretty much summed up my situation. I was Keze's now, wheather I liked it or not. But at least it wasn't all bad. I was a stweard now. It sounded a lot better than slave, though not as free as apprentice. I was still his since he'd rescued me and I was still a slave in the end. Well, at the very least, I knew that Keze had seen some potential in me that kept me from being JUST a slave to him.

I stood a moment after he'd finish giving me the summary of my predicament before telling me to find a weapon admist the Sith remains. Looking to it I swalloed a little as it meant needed to go through more dead remains to find something. I decided to stick with what robes I had, at least they didn't have any blood on them. And sure all else I had was the slave outfit, but it was better than nothing.

Walking over and starting to look through I could see an assortment of blade and weapons left in the pile. Some were regular vibroblades and others were a little more unique. I figured if I was going to train to be a force user and given my unique status I needed a weapon to fit. And so I'd found it: a double-sided blade. Upon fishing it out I turned and held it up to show Keze that was my choice of weapon.

[member="Kezeroth the Hateful"]

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

An excellent choice, Double bladed weapons had a shock factor to them. They were intimidating and a skilled user could produce powerful blows, Difficult to master and held many advantages. Kezeroth himself favored a Pike or Greatsword it fitted him nicely as a species, but Fenri picking a Double-Bladed weapon took Kezeroth off guard slightly. He saw her more with a single blade or something of that sort.

" Interesting choice..." he said raising a brow. " What do you know of Combat with a Blade?" He said gripping his sithsword on his back, Drawing the blade he let it rest on his shoulder as he questioned her. He was Prepared to get a lesson in Combat and Instruct on the Styles that he knew.

[Fenri]

Double-bladed weapons were a little new to me, but seeing it I knew this was what I wanted to master in. I knew not too many force users had lightsabers like this, and I was anxious to eventually have one of those for myself. I knew there would be great potential to use one in battle, so starting off now was better than ever.

"I've stuided....a little." I answered, refering to the breif but helpful train I'd gotten from the Sith and Jedi had tuahgt her.

There wasn't much but it had been enough for her to have helped in slaying Jedi. The Sith had fallen due to the element of suprise that I had, killing them while their backs were turned in their moment of glory. Still I knew that I had a ways to go, especially with this new double-sided weapon.

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Walking back and forth he began to speak with his Blade ready. " Form One Shii-Cho is where we shall start, Shii-Cho is the original style. The Tutorial Form for all the others." He Took a Simple Stance hold his Sith sword in front of him, His grip with two hands and weight balanced. " Practioners of Shii-Cho attack areas of the body in a unpredictable pattern, But enough talk show me what you know!" he said aloud and walked forward dragging his Blade on the ground producing sound that was not too pleasant on the ears. Once again His dark presence was broad casted in the area, WIth a Quick Dash he slashed his blade in a Horizontal manner aiming to lightly cut her left shoulder.

[member="Fenri"]

 

[Fenri]

I just stood with the double-blade in my hands as he told me about Shi-Cho. The name was familiar to me, and it made more sense as he explained it was a basic form of fighting that anyone and everyone learned. Guess it made sense to start from the bottom up. I took my stance once he told me to ready myself, starting with the blade on my left side. I had one side sticking out into the air while the other was at my back, my whole body turned in the direction to be ready for whatever attacks would come that way.

Once Keze made his move I realized just what I was in for. A full heavy dose of Keze's strength behind a strike. I brought my blade up once he'd struck, trying to block it. The force of it brought me to one knee but at least I managed to hold it long enough to push his blade away and roll to the side. Once I was on my feet I tried making a jad for his side, trying to cut that large hulky mass. If that failed I figured I would be open for whatever attack he had ready for me.

[member="Kezeroth the Hateful"]

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

With Kezeroth being a Gen'Dia he favored Strength oriented attacks, Every species had their advantages and disadvantages. In the Current Situation [member="Fenri"] was in a Disadvantage, SHe would be forced to find a Style and way to counter those who were physically imposing. As the Gen'Dai watched the Girl shortly hold the blade and dodge he chuckled he predicted that a move like this would happen since a Gen'Dais Strength was over top notch when compared to other species.

Following her movements up to her attack he felt inspired to showcase his tolerance for pain and his Genetic Properties that made him Gen'Dai. Drawing out the Attack Kezeroth did his best to act like he was avoiding it but he was clear that he let it. As it entered his side he smirked? The wound was not too serious but was concerning. " Pain is my life, IF I cant enjoy a Cut or stab at my body I cant have fun.." he Gazed and the girl and reached for her with his off hand, If caught in his grasp he would toss it across the large area and continue to peruse her to see what natural skill she had.

[member="Fenri"]

 

[Fenri]

Dammit! I should've known that wouldn't have worked. Keze had dealt with pain and suffering for over a thousand years. No way a little jab would've made much difference to him. I didn't have much time to draw out how screwed I was before he grabbed me, practally choking me with those giant hands of his. Next thing I knew I was flying across the room before landing on the ground far away from Keze. I hit with a hard thud and then felt myself bounc for a moment. I was hurt alright, and what was worse was I felt dizzy too.

I tried shaking it off as I heard Keze approched, his feet stomping the whole way over. I scambled and got to my feet, holding my double blade at the ready, I waited for whatever attack he tried before ducking it and trying to move around him while attacking with a few lighter jabs. He had strength but I had felxibility and speed. Not to mention my size could be used at an advantage. But first thing was first. I needed to move.

I waited until I was behind Keze before jumping up and tearing my robes off mid-air; using the blade to help cut them here-and-there to break easier. Once That was done I tried covering Keze's head with the remains while holding on for dear life.

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Walking toward [member="Fenri"] the Gen'Dai deligted in watching the girl scurry around in her panic. He could feel the confusion in her trying to plan a Attack. As he drew closer his wound stopped bleeded and closed up, The Gen'Dai had a advanced nervous system that afforded them to withstand much torment before they finally fell. " I hope your able to think when your on the ground.. Haha." In the moment kezeroth flourished his blade blocking the light jabs, the blades met with a series of blocks.

Some how she had managed to get behind him, He was aware of this but when her cloak fell off and landed over him Kezeroth paused and attempted to reach for her but with not sucess. Suddenly his body stood still and he reached out with the Force to Choke the girl.
