Now is the Time (Nickolas)

[Lucien Cordel]

Lucien arrived at the caves mouth and took one last look around, ice an ruin was all he could see ... The speeder unnerved him, it boasted of a threat and yet he could find no threat. Any attempted to sense this threat would serve only to reveal him. He was left with no choice and finally he entered. The cane lightly clicking on the worn stone of the tunnel. Flawed crystals littered the walls but no apprentice of Lucien's would be seen dead with sub par equipment.

Lucien stopped dead as light levels grew at the end of the tunnel then came the sound of voices echoing. Lucien frowned, they should leave he knew that but he couldn't ... He picked up his cane and crept along coming to a rocky outcrop on a ledge overlooking a large cavern. He could see an elderly Jedi and some younglings restrained in the corner and a group of reavers pilfering the cave and the media valubles . Lucien was overcome with anger there were two things he hated above all else dishonourable practise and criminals.

He waited for nick to crouch down next to him before addressing him mentally "Mr. Imura ensure that you conduct yourself with honour in all practises even when facing your enemy's." He looked over cautiously to the reavers to check he had not been seen before continuing " the criminals bellow us are scum and we are going to kill them leave the Jedi untouched, any reaver who surrenders is to be restrained until all the others are pacified then we hang them ... Finally any reaver who claims to have played no part is to be floger to hang the others before we restrain them an leave them in the tundra to die, this scum deserve no mercy"

Then he rose and with a swish of his hand the Jedi and her wards fell unconscious , they would probably object to being saved by a with lord. He was no loger concerned with being revealled . he walked down the incline to the cavern his cane drumming on stone.

The reavers turned from their looted treasures "wrong place old man" one said as he and his assosite moved towards Lucien knives drawn

"No" Lucien said in his cold calm manner.his cane became a blur as his cane collided with the for most reavers chest doubling him over. In the next instant Lucien had torn the robe off and ignighted ignighted his saber. His vengance would be swift and merciless

I followed my Master. With the Blaster rifle in my hand, and saber should I need it, were at the ready. Taking a firm grip of the blaster pistol as we both crouched, I paid attention to my master. Wondering why we had to face these people, when we could have just grabbed a crystal from the side right in the opening. But I did not question him as he told me to leave the Jedi and to only attack the others. I nodded my head in confirmation and rose up as he did. I took a few steps behind him to look as though I was only his younger assistant. As Lucien suddenly attacked the man, my blaster rifle came up and shot the second man that he had not attacked.

I quickly turned to a third man of the group, and sent him up to be smashed with a pillar of earthen material. A new pillar should this attack be lasting a while to keep the ceiling of the Cave up. I then stood back and watched as Lucien almost became a cold blooded killer as he had dealt with the others. And well, lets just say that I was glad that I was not on his bad side.

Lucien was not a man who often used physical force in person, he preferred to sent others to brawl whilst he fought with words and political manouvers. Some people were undeserving of words and he had no subordinates on hand. Lucien handled the reavers with a speed and ferousisness seemingly unbefitting of his appearance.

In the end six of the reavers had fallen to their knees and groveled, two others had claimed innocence the others were dead some lay slain holes in their bodies;many were reduced to dust and two or three were embedded in the rock. He felt with the survivors as he had promised to.

Once the criminals were dead Lucien returned to normal, he checked on the uncousous Jedi the indicated the reavers bags "look through those see if you can see any saber crystals that take your fancy if not select one from the cave."

I looked through the bags that were there as I still had in my mind of what my master had done. Even in the fight he took out most of them while I could have just shot them. As he dealt with the Jedi that were now asleep. I went through the bags. looking at the many crystals that they had. Instead of just taking just one. If my saber were to break again, I might as well take a few. Grabbing what looked to be a blue green and a red one. They were just backups for later on. However. I had heard about the caves in Ilum. That the Kinrath eggs could hold a crystal that fits to the person. Only lighting up to fit you.

With the thieves that were hear. they had taken care of them earlier. Simply walking past the different eggs that were there. I waited until I saw one start to glow. it was a deep red color as it glowed. smiling I picked up the egg and smashed it. Stuffing my hands through the guts and innards of the egg. I was now covered in slime. Smiling as I found a crystal with a crimson look. I returned back to the Sith lord as he was bent over the Jedi. "What shall we do with them Master?"

Lucien looked up "we activate their distress signals and leave" he replied turning to face his apprentise . Lucien wasn't willing to kill innocent people and these Jedi were inocent . it was past time Lucien and Nicolas left, Lucien was beginning to get a headache.

He had one last thing to do before leaving "kneel Mr.Imura" Lucien ordered as he closed the distance between them.peopled

 

[Garza]

Looking to my master as we would simply be leaving the Jedi alone, I could see how we wanted to keep a rather neutral stance, and not have the Jedi after us. Nodding my head I started to walk back to the speeder when he told me to kneel.

I walked over and knelt down, letting my right fist be planted on the ground and kept my head low. "Yes my Lord?" I had no real idea in which he was doing. but regardless I knelt.

Nickolas knelt just as Lucien had reqeusted . the with lord closed the gap between them " you knelt as an apprentise , now rise as a sith knight" Lucien offered his hand to help Nickolas up " I can offer you land and a home of your own as well as jurisdiction over one of the cities on the planetsi govern" Lucien added. Oncenick had risen Lucien strode back to the speeder eager to return to his ship.

 

[Garza]

I looked at my Master in astonishment. he had crowned me a Knight, and offered me all that I could need under this tutelage. I nodded my head and rose up with the help of him. I wiped off the dirt from my clothes and followed the man out to the ship. Opening the door for him once again, I bowed to him as though we were still in character. "Thank you M'Lord"
