The One Sith Space​

Courscant ​

Sith Temple​

Mid-Day​

Dressed in my robes. Well truth be told, it looked more like my Training gear. Only difference is that instead of carrying a yellow and white lightsaber, I had switched them out for a red and purple lightsaber set. I was here under the guise of a Jedi in need of help becoming a Fallen Jedi or even Sith. But in truth, I was a Jedi. Will always be one even if I did not carry the name. Walking up the front steps. Guards stood at the doors. Blocking my path. Two of them walked forward with their hands out in stop signs. Slowing down to a simple saunter. I stopped a few feet from them and they the same.

"What business do you have here?"
"I am here to talk to a Mon Calamari Sith Master. I was refereed to him from a Friend of mine."
"Who may this friend be?"
"Maya Whitelight, Apprentice to this man."
"Call him."

The guy to his left then pressed his wrist to send a message to someone on the inside.

"My Lord Veles, We have a young man out here asking for you under the name of Maya Whitelight. Your Orders?"

Waiting there, I would be welcome to just about anything at the moment. Even if I just got to talk to him. Hell, I wanted to stab him through with both of my sabers. But that would have to wait for now.

[Darth Veles]

Darth Veles' large amber eyes opened as he felt the femiliar presence in the Force. Just as he had hoped. The Mon Cal's own signature was not hidden as usual; the Sith Master wanted to find this particular man, as the rogue Jedi ultimately wanted the same thing. Maya Whitelight, a devoted healer and Veles' apprentice. Also, a lover of both. The young Sith assassin believed he could persuade the man to help him and rescue the woman both of them cared for. With the undeniable evidence in his possession, the amphibian knew that if this won't be enough to persuade [member="Xander Carrick"] into betraying the Silver Jedi, nothing will. It was time to stop that group of Dark Jedi, show them they have gone too far in their demented crusade for 'light' and 'peace'.

When the guard approached, the Mon Cal just nodded and stopped him from speaking with a wave of his webbed hand. Slowly pacing towards the exit, the black cloak around his shoulders waved behind him due to the draught. The left hand reached up and removed the hood covering the large domed head as he saw the man.

"It is good you are here. Very good," Veles stated as he left the building behind, "Shall we take a walk? There is much we have to talk about and I'd rather do it away from so many ears and eyes." Walking towards the man, the Mon Cal stood and faced him, not afraid of anything. After all, they needed each other or Maya would die.

 

[Garza]

The man thought I was here for him and Maya. In truth. I was here to kill him. He may have guessed it as well. But he wanted to talk like he did last time we both were here. Sure, I was a Jedi, but I was not the nice ones you see farting wisdom from their asses every 30 seconds. moving past the soldiers with a look to kill. I didn't speak a word as I followed the red skinned being. Combat boots thundering on the ground as I could feel the dark side of the force flowing in him. Moving to walk up side to him. I looked ahead. "Should we be under different circumstances, I would have my saber in your gut." I didn't even look to him. I spoke silently so only we could speak to one another.

"You and I both have feelings for Maya. That I won't deny, but I know you have information that I need. And with Maya seemingly gone now, I am looking for her." I turned my head to look at the man for a second. His large eyes looking forwards. "You should feel honored to be my first visit." There was so much sarcasm dripping from my voice. This man took Maya away from me. Maya had her own secrets, and she said that she would tell me in time. I would allow her to. But sometimes. If I needed to help her. I had to know something. And this man may know more than me at the moment. I didn't trust him, but I had to just enough to talk to him.

Right before I would take the red saber and slide it into him.

[Darth Veles]

"Heh," Veles chuckled softly, "You did well to come to me. I know exactly where Maya is and what is going to happen to her. The truth is, I am not capable of rescuing her myself... But before that, please allow me to tell you what happened." The amphibian clasped his webbed hands behind his back, one of his eyes looking at the blonde man walking next to him while the other watched the pavement. The man's anger ironically fueled the Sith, giving him power from the Dark Side.

"Maya was strong. Devoted. She never strayed from her path as a healer. Never fell to the Dark Side as many do. She was on the way of making an excellent Sith healer. As her Master, I did my best to guide her. She wished to learn, and so did I. The Light Side was what I wished to study, with her help." Veles turned his head to look at the Jedi with both of his eyes, "Please, do not think I corrupted her mind or something like that you Jedi like to say. Maya was strong enough to use the Dark Side without succumbing to its influence. She found herself happy for the brief time she was with the Sith. She believed in balance, a combination of Light and Darkness."

His eyes fell upon the scenery of a vast city and Veles stopped. "Do you have any idea who the Silver Jedi truly are?" he asked silently before glaring at [member="Xander Carrick"] again. Naturally, the Mon Cal did not tell him of the intimate nights they shared together, that would most likely anger the Jedi and Veles had important things to say, he could not afford that risk yet.

 

[Garza]

The Sith that I had done well to come to him? If he was so sure of himself, then of course he would say those words. leading me to believe that he does know something. Also saying that he would have liked to rescued Maya Himself but he needed help. Yeah, help my ass. He wanted information on how to get in there with the least resistance. And since the Silver Jedi were now getting their name out there as a Major player to work with, he knew that they had more defenses now. He needed my help to get past them. I didn't speak a word as he continued to "tell me the truth"

Stating things that I already knew. I knew that she was strong. If she was not then she would have been dead by now. I also knew that she was not one to travel down one path. She traveled her own. And truth be told, I liked that about her. But when the Sith was saying that she was converting him. I already had an idea on what he meant. Last time I felt "Good" was when I was with her. Not physically with her, but romantically. They had done something together. I kept my head for now as the man stated that she was not corrupted by him. That she was never corrupted. That much I knew to be true. But there were different variations of being corrupt. I had no fear that Maya would not fall too hard.

"Then tell me, Sith, What do you know more than me about my Brothers and Sisters?" Continuing to walk as we were going what seemed to be nowhere. Really I was just following this man. Hoping that all this nosense was leading somewhere.

[Darth Veles]

"The invasion of Teta. I was there. Maya as well. As expected, she moved to help the wounded and heal them, either by the Force or with her herbs. That is when your leaders arrived...," Veles said, frowning. He remembered it very well, and definitely not just because he recorded it on his cybernetic eye. "They came for Maya. That would not be so surprising... But it was then and there that I have witnessed their true nature. They are not followers of Light as they claim, heh," the Mon Cal chuckled softly. "Oh, no. You have been deceived. They are Dark Jedi who have blinded dozens of followers with their lies of Light and peace. They say they protect, yet in that invasion, they have done entirely different things... enough to get them sentenced for war crimes."

"They showed no mercy, took no prisoners. They killed not only enemies, but also civilians. Oh yes, Jedi, they murdered innocents, using their death to draw power from the Dark Side and laughed at that! And before you call me a liar...," his one of the claws on his right hand pointed at his right eye, "I have recorded it all. And much more. You know, Maya never raised a weapon in that battle. Never even defended herself, she simply tended to the wounded. When they approached her, filled with the Dark Side, she was unarmed and did not fight them. That did not stop your brothers and sisters from beating her like an animal, their attacks filled with hate and anger, strong enough to shatter her bones and cripple her. I believe she is on Voss now, awaiting her trial... but will it really be a trial, Jedi? She will be either executed... or worse. Whatever happens, the Maya we used to know will die once the sentence is carried out."

The webbed hand reached for the cybernetic eye and carefully removed it from the socket, handing the orb over to [member="Xander Carrick"]. "You can connect it to something and see for yourself."

 

[Garza]

What? This all had to be a bunch of bullcrap. There was no way that the Silver Jedi would do that. I was so close to just taking out my saber and really running it through him, even with all the people that were here. But, that changed when he said that he recorded it. Taking his eye out, he handed it to me. I shook my head with a slight shudder as I grabbed it.

Well wouldn't you be wigged out if someone handed you their eye? That's what I thought!

I stopped and looked to my right. and making sure that nobody else was paying special attention to us, I pulled the small datapad off of my belt. Literally plugging in they eye. Up came a few folders from it. Moving to the videos, I clicked on the most recent entry. Dated at the time of the Invasion of Teta. And that's when I began to watch the entire battle take place from the vision of this man.

[member="Darth Veles"],

 

[Darth Veles]

The screen flicked, showing the video Veles started recording a few minutes after the invasion's start. From the angle, it became apparent the Mon Cal watched the city from the rooftops of buildings. Currently, the amphibious Sith watched a trail of bodies and destruction. Soldiers, civilians, all lay motionless with their bodies twisted in unnatural positions, some are ripped apart. Blood and intestines spilled all over the place as if several bodies were torn or crushed after being impacted by a great force. The eye continued to watch it, observing that even many buildings were ruined and falling with many more people finding their deaths inside after they locked themselves in, attempting to find shelter from the battle outside. The Mon Calamari continued on his way on the rooftops, the devastation only intensified and it did not last long before a laughter could be heard, coming from down below. Peeking down, the eye spotter a large group of the Sixth Battalion led by the armored Nautolan and one much younger Jedi, the one the laughter belonged to. She just stood among the destruction she had caused and laughed. Then there was another, a Mirialan, though that one did not belong to the Silver Jedi Order, unlike the other two.

"She's been using the Dark Side to empower herself and cause this much damage," Veles commented, his left eye watching the screen. Obviously, Xander could not feel what Veles was able to when he watched it, so the Mon Cal had to occasionally explain something.

Another Silver Jedi, this time a green skinned Mirialan, came through the destroyed street to join the group, running through the bodies and rubble like it was a path. A zoom of Veles' eye revealed she was smiling. "I assume you are the cause of that little scene behind us?" she asked the youngest of the group, still grinning.

Just by watching the video, Veles felt his anger again when seeing the two who obviously enjoyed the destruction they have caused.

The then cut to something different, the eye watched the battle and several Mandalorians, it looked like as if the Mon Cal was in the middle of the battle. The eye occasionally turned to watch a different scene though; Maya talking to the young Jedi from earlier, the two standing one some platform. The quality of the sound was not the best due to the ongoing battle, so whatever they said remained between them. The video was also shown from various angles with frequent cuts, indicating Veles was most likely busy himself, though he tried to keep an eye on his apprentice.

The two eventually closed their distance enough for Maya to reach out and touch the younger Jedi's chest and removed it again. It seemed as the Zeltron wanted to leave, but the other Jedi stopped her by getting into her path. The young Jedi released some sort of energy to cause the whole platform to shake before attacking, her strike empowered with the Dark Side moving towards Maya's face. It hit. The two fell from the platform.

The video continued for a bit, showing the young Jedi continuously attacking Maya. Meanwhile, the armored Nautolan joined the battle as well, roaring like an animal and igniting his lightwhip. It wrapped around Maya's torso and cut through flesh. Scraps of skin on Maya's body were missing and her pained movements indicated several broken bones as she cried. The Zeltron even wet herself before the youngest Jedi wrapped some sort of chain around her and took her, running away somewhere where Veles could not see. The video ended.

"Well?" the amphibious Sith asked, his left eye now glaring at the rogue Jedi in front of him. He did not know if this persuaded [member="Xander Carrick"] enough, but it was all he had.

 

[Garza]

Looking at the information that was placed before me, and watching it over and over again in my mind. I watched as Saki had hit Maya. But I knew how Saki was. Gears were turning in my head. Trying to comprehend the skips in the memories. Coming to a conclusion that he was either knocked out and had to deal with waking up, or he had altered the images. Taking the recording eye out, I handed it too him. Already having my mind set on an action that would bring Saki, this man, and Maya all into justice. Mercy was no longer with me.

"[member="Darth Veles"], it seems that we may have to do something about the Silver Jedi and their silver tongues. Liars the lot of them. They will learn to mess with those I cherish." turning to him and lettin the datapad be put away, "but there is something I must know. I want the truth when I ask you if there was anything that you and Maya did that would be considered... Private."

As a Sith, they knew how manipulate people. So if anything happened, I would work with him for now, but later he will pay for whatever he did to my love.

 

[Darth Veles]

Was this a success? Veles certainly hoped so. He did have the skill and experience to infiltrate the Jedi Temple on Voss, but he knew next to nothing about its layout, guards and other defences. The Mon Calamari fully realized that without having any idea where Maya was being held, his mission had a very low chance of succeeding, as one of the enemies would sooner or later notice something weird and trigger the alarm. Glaring at [member="Xander Carrick"] with his left eye, the Mon Cal smirked. He could fell it, the passion the rogue Jedi held for his Zeltron lover.

"Do hear jealousy, Jedi? Do not worry; I have simply taught Maya how to use her passion, love and empathy to connect to the Dark Side and how to resist its influence. And I also wanted her to teach me Force heal. That is about it...," the amphibious Sith said with a shrug, taking the eye back and putting it back inside his head with a smack. It took a while to properly connect and provide him with sight again, Veles swiveled it around until it he could see the world around. It automatically adjusted the colors and corrected the wavelength in which the Mon Calamari perceived the galaxy. When all was done, the Mon Cal blinked and looked at the rogue Jedi again, this time with both of his eyes.

"Rescuing Maya is not my only intention, though," the Sith Master added, "I want to execute the perpetrators I have recorded... and whoever authorized the operation. They have to pay for their crimes," determination hardened the look in his eyes, "Justice must be done. Think about it. The Silver Jedi will benefit from their elimination; it will remove the ones corrupted by the Dark Side and better your order. The hypocrites; hunting people down for so many reasons while turning blind eye to their own crimes."

 

[Garza]

Teach a Zeltron to use her passion? Last time I remember, she already had more than enough to get me aroused and even when we had been alone with each other, it was nearly impossible for me to not touch her. She did not need any more. Even as a Zeltron she had abilities to influence emotions naturally. There was more than just that. I knew there was more, but would leave it for now until we got this done. I would just have to deal with this for now. I then watched as he shoved his eye back into where it belonged. Fitting with it until he could see me.

Continuing to speak, he went into how he want's everyone involved. That much I already knew. And I wanted as well. So there was no surprise there. Then Veles tried to continue to bring me down to his side by saying that it would clear out the Dark side. I only hoped that he realized that all Jedi have a Dark Spot. ALL jedi have one. All you have to do is hit it just right and you can get them to fall. I just happened to have mine in the form of Maya leaving with the Sith. I knew that she wanted to find out all sides to protect others from what it is, but I wanted to be there for her so she would not fall too hard or too fast.

"Sounds like a plan." I extended my hand out to him, showing him that I was truly on his side for now. "Let's compare notes."

[member="Darth Veles"]

 

[Darth Veles]

The fishy Sith nodded and took [member="Xander Carrick"]'s hand into his flipper, shaking it and sealing the deal by doing so. He did not trust the rogue Jedi one bit, but considering the two shared a set of commong goals and both wished justice to be served, the Mon Cal saw no other option but to overlook their differences and the fact they were enemies. Until the mission was over, that is. Letting go of the man's hand, the amphibian considered the options. "Very well,..." Looking somewhere into distance for a second, as if he noticed something, many possibilities and strategies ran through the young assassin's mind. So many things they had to consider, as there would not be another chance.

His piercing gaze returned to the blonde man, "The army and fleet you have. Do they patrol around the planet? How hard would it be to get through them? Hmm," he thought for a bit, "Perhaps using your ship to get on the planet would be the best option available unless your soldiers scan every incoming spaceship. My abilities to hide my presence and physical form might not be of much use in space, but will definitely be useful once we land." He said confidently. As a master of these particular skills, he did not worry about being detected, though he should probably cloak himself and his presence while still in space, just in case the Silver Jedi had some sort of sentries and seers guarding the Temple by searching the planet and its surrounding space through the Force.

"Do you have any plans of your Temple? We may have to separate at some point and I need to know where I'm going. Or, hmm," he thought about it again, one of the eyes went to glare at the city. Veles realized the two have met for the first time on this very planet. The Mon Cal had saved Maya's life that day by killing angry Republic soldiers who wanted to cut her open for healing all wounded, not just the allies. Despite the battle around the Temple was a slaughter, the rest of the planet took little to no damage, surprisingly. All due to the Sith being so precise, cutting off the head of the snake and letting the body die. Whatever damage the city of a planet had suffered, everything's been repaired or in the process of repairing. Quite impressive. "A distraction? Does your Temple have a generator that keeps it powered? If we sabotage it not only we will distract the present Jedi, but also turn off the automated defenses... if you have those, of course. Maybe we could overload the generator and cause a significant damage to the Temple's structure?"

 

[Garza]

The man began to plan out loud. For further reference, I clicked on the datapad to record the items. I wanted to make sure that I had everything on a list. As a Sentinel, our jobs were to use other means of attack. I knew alot of the Silver Jedi Temple, however, I did not know all. So before we would do this, I would go back to the temple under an alias and using my Shadow to find any other useful information. So keeping a list of this would help me stay on track and not forget anything. As well that if things went south for me, I had information on him. Two birds with one stone right?

"The temple does have guards, but they try to keep a nice ideal with the Local Voss. To do that they don't have Jedi all over the planet. but you see them more often the closer to the Tower of Prophesy. The Silver Jedi Temple was built around it." I nodded my head to his question, "Yes. I do have blueprints of the temple. I can give you one so you can use it should we separate." Gears turning in my mind about how he wanted to hit the generator. I shook my head. "If you take out the Generator, all doors in the area lock down like the Blastdoors on a Star Destroyer. That's also not counting the many Jedi and Rangers within the Temple that will head straight for you once it's off, or even if you overloaded it. They will come fast and all we will get to do is run. With Maya under their watch and knowing that you, The One Sith, or myself will be coming after her, she would be the first one off planet. As it so happens, the generator is on the complete other side of the temple as the docking bays."

Turning to look around us, I shook my head trying to think. "Yes we need a distraction, but it needs to be subtle enough that they won't instantly go after Maya and take her."

[member="Darth Veles"],

 

[Darth Veles]

How to distract the Jedi subtly enough not to alarm them, yet strongly enough to turn their attention away? The large amber eyes of the Mon Cal closed, processing the information. The solid security system capable of closing all doors in the area suggested the Silver Dark Jedi thought of everything and prepared themselves for everything. Then again, this might be a useful exploit for the two, considering the Jedi and some sort of rangers will move to the generator. A remote charge place in the room and detonated... No, this was too much of a giveaway. Unless, of course, they used after getting Maya out. The following chaos would ensure the Jedi to be busy enough with the generator room while the attackers slipped away. Veles remembered his apprentice possessed the same skills as him, that is Force cloak and Force stealth. Granted, she was not even close to his mastery over the two powers, but maybe she could use them anyway to their advantage.

"So what do you suggest?" Veles asked [member="Xander Carrick"] calmly, opening his eyes and crossing his arms, "Emergency exits? Secret passages? The Jedi Temple sure had those... Hmm, actually... Do the cells have ventilation shafts leading to them?" He finished with a frown, remembering wise words of blocking all exits when burning a hive. "Anyways, please share the blueprints. I might get a better idea of what we're dealing with once I see it. Can you send them to my datapad? Or better yet, to my eye so I can view them as I go?"

 

[Garza]

As the man was speaking to me, I had pulled out my datapad once more. Rapidly tapping my fingers to get the information on the place. already having it seemed ready, I sent it across digital space to the man's eye. It was a basic floor plan of having the major things that we needed pin pointed. "This floor plan is not set. Things have been said to be changing, but what I mark is what will stay." the dormitories were marked just before the cages where anybody that was needing to be held was kept. "There are many air shafts that you and I can take. This one will be the best route, however, if you are good enough with your hiding skills, then we will not need to worry about that. I have a proxy battle droid that can take the shape of any living or dead humanoid being. It will take the form of a Sith, and create a diversion for us to get in, that is if you trust that I can get you there."

[member="Darth Veles"], (sorry I completely spaced it!)

 

[Darth Veles]

The display informed him of the incoming data and soon the plans downloaded into the cybernetic orb. Veles opened them, viewing the blueprints in his head. It obviously did not show everything, just the things they needed. Still, it was nice to have a general idea where all the paths led without actually needing to scout the place beforehand. The amphibian studied it for a while, noting the placement of the generator that powered the place and the distance between that and other places. Truly, it was way too far away from their destination to be bothered with. Veles also took the air shafts into account when [member="Xander Carrick"] pointed them out, but doubted there would be much need to use them... given his skills, the Mon Cal could walk right next to a group of Jedi Masters unnoticed. Shaking his head in approval, he let go of the blueprint image in his eye and looked at the rogue Jedi again.

"I do not trust you, but I trust your intent to get Maya out of there. Where is your ship? I will meet you there once I take my armor and a few gadgets."

 

[Garza]

With Veles looking it over, I nodded my head. Knowing that he would want to travel in either the same ship, or meet up before hand to make sure that we were going through with the plan that we would be hashing out. I would be moving with Veles. My Mask abilities in the force would allow me to change my appearance to that of a Jedi Knight that was known as a Shadow through the corps. Silver Wolf's appearance would work very well for this. While K1-LLR would use her hologram projection programming to look like a Sith of some kind. I would need to gather my own gear as well. Since last time I left, I left in haste, most of my items were in my room in the temple, it would be easier if I did that part alone. I also did not want to reveal so much about myself.

"Yes. Gather what you will. I need to gather my own and prepare for a battle. I do not always carry my gear. I will also have to gather my own on the planet itself. Going alone will be easier. Less chance of a Jedi seeing you twice. Even with your skills in concealment, they have ways of seeing you. As to what it is, I have no idea. Even I do not know of all the material they have."

Hopefully this would work out well.

[member="Darth Veles"],

 

[Darth Veles]

"We will meet again." Darth Veles said and turned around, going back to the Temple the same way he had gotten there. He knew exactly what to take and do. Not even looking at the guards, the Mon Calamari strode past them and moved straight to his temporary quarters where he took off his casual clothing, orderly placing everything onto the bed, and removed the cybernetic eye again, connecting the large orb to his datapad that lied on his tunic. Transferring the blueprints into the personal device, he checked if they could be opened in the datapad and upon finding they truly could, he sent everything to [member="Darth Banshee"] over the HoloNet, though not before scannig it with a security program.

He wished his favorite student to have access to everything he had gathered on the rogue group of Jedi in case he would not come back. Just to make sure she understood him, he also wrote a short message explaining where he went and asked her not to after him, as he was more than capable of rescuing himself if necessary. With that done, the amphibian placed both eye and datapad on the bed next to him and knelt down on the metal floor, devoting several minutes to a quiet meditation.

He realized what he intended to do was incredibly risky, suicidal even. But did he have a choice? His apprentice suffered at hands of his foes and he believed it to be his duty to attempt to rescue her, to prove he was worthy of the fresh title of a Sith Master. The large amber eye closed, letting the amphibian meditate in peace, surrounded by the Dark Side that radiated from the planet.

"Powerful Dark Side, patron of Sith, executioner's blade, righteous vengeance,
Open to the heart of thy warrior messenger, grant power to thy servant.
Me, thy faithful follower, recall.
Provide my strike with thy destructive might.
Blood and nerve from my foes' sinews, yield.
Guide the tip of my blade, my target - slay."


By no means had Veles considered himself to be religious, quite the opposite. Religion was for fools. The impending danger simply caused him to do the insane, pray to the Dark Side for more power than he ever possessed. His body remained motionless, though he could feel the energy pouring in, corrupting his soul and granting him incredible power in return. Finally allowing the Dark Side to fully flow in his veins, the Mon Calamari assassin remained in this state for dozens of minutes as time lost all importance in that moment. It felt so intimate, like embracing a long lost lover, the Dark Side's intoxicating influence whispering promises of power into his ear. For the first time in his life, Veles listened.

One last exhale and it ended. When his eye opened again, it appeared much yellowish tone than the usual orange. Getting up from his kneeling position, the Sith Master reattached the cybernetic eye and moved to get dressed, not into his Sith robes though, equipping the Imperial armor instead, including the helmed shaped specifically for his large domed head. After being fully dressed, he simply took the belt and attached it around his waist. It included a medpac and twin lightsabers. Satisfied, Veles put on the cloak out of Terentatek hide and went to the armory as well, having some special items in mind.

As expected, the large room contained every weapon he could ever imagine. Rifles hung on the walls, pistols rested in cases, there were even several boxes in the back that hid explosives. Veles did not go that far though, he stopped soon after walking through the door and immediately moved to his left; melee weapons. Webbed hands lovingly ran over the sharp blades before he picked two small daggers and planted one into each boot. As if he was about to turn around, his eyes caught a glimpse of a very small, razor sharp blade. Taking it, he cut through thy synthflesh covering his cybernetic hand and inserted it in. Then he slowly backed out of the room filled with weapons and went to the exit, his armored boots clicking on the ground.

Once outside, he slowly descended the stairs and looked behind, the yellow colored eyes watching the Temple. It was time to meet [member="Xander Carrick"].
