Rise of a Grey Jedi

Scion

(Hmmm, where to begin? This is my second and final attempt at a FanFic, so I hope this goes well. This will be about my fall to the Grey side and the events leading up to it. many of you will be in this story, and I will try, like Shadow, to keep it in the timeline. Enjoy, Unless i suck, then tell me, so I can stop)

**Chapter One**
A.B.Y. 48

"Do not expect to win battles purely by force, it will never happen, concentrate yourself within the Force"

Empress Chick's voice rang in his ears as he focused his anger and hatred into the training droid. He focused his attacks near the center, next to the droids control unit, it's electro staff pulsating feet away from him. He had always wanted to learn Vaapad, but found it extremely difficult to focus his emotions. Unlike Minious, or Saber, or Shadow, for that matter. He had watched Shadow battle once, and it had been like watching Krayt Dragon utterly destroy a lonely bantha.

Suddenly, jealousy filled Scion's head with Shadow's insane ability, although they had begun training at the same time. Understanding filled him, and before it happened, he saw the electro staff fly to the left, and allowed his double-bladed saber to swing to the right.

The next thing he realized, he was panting on his knees, lightsaber deactivated, staring at the halved droid.

"I don't get you, one minute, your struggling gainst a droid, the next second it's damaged beyond repair." Chick said to him. "Get up, you won, you don't lower yourself to a dead opponent."

"Yes, Empress" Scion croaked back

Struggling to his feet, Chick glared at him.

"You weren't prepared for the amount of anger and hatred you were channeling, I suggest you lay off the fighting for a few days and try to open yourself to the Force more." She said to him, pushing him out of the training room.

Scion walked through the halls, watching all the new arrivals that had come, and at the Lords who taught and watched over them. The Temple had been the only life he had known, rarely leaving it for anything. He continued to walk to his quarters, planning on meditation, when he sensed danger in the Force, and quickly rolled out of the way as a pure shadow passed by, a small red lightdagger in it's hand.

"Almost got you that time." Amor grinned evily

"Back so soon?" Scion asked, jokingly

"I have seen many places, learned many things, fought many battles."

"Maybe for another time, I am going to meditate."

"Maybe for once you could leave this Temple yourself, get to know the Galaxy you live in."

"Maybe, someday."

Scion then returned to his quarters, and began to meditate, glad to have an old friend back.

Now he thought If I could only find Obsidian

( I will update this fairly often, unless I don't have an idea, wont make a comments thread till 3 chapters, and if Shadow and Minious could help me with timeline details, that would be great.)

**Chapter Two**

"High Inquisitor, High Inquisitor."

The lousy commlink had gone aff again, and this time Scion did not want to move, he figured he had had about 2 hours of sleep after several hours of meditation.

Grand Inquisitor Actir was contacting him though, and you can't hold off the people on top so reluctantly, he answered.

"Yes?"

"Come down here immediately, we have an assignment for you."

"Coming"

He would probably get in trouble for not addressing her as Lady, but he didn't care. He grabbed his lightsaber from his bedside table, and made his way out of his quarters.

The Temple wasn't completely silent, adepts wishing to surpass eachother were still fighting and meditating and constructing lightsabers. Scion remembered the only lightsaber he had actually built himself, blown up in The Ravager, when he had been reborn, he had found an old Sith Lord's lightsaber in the energy core of Naboo. Well, he had founf half of it. He copied the half he had and completed the weapon once again, and had had it ever since.

Reaching the Inquisitor's Offices, he saw that not only Lady Actir but Lord Zero and Commander Minious, whom he bowed deeply to.

"You had an assignment for me?"

"Yes, we thought we should actually have you leave the Temple for once in your life."

"Well, actually, the Empress told me-"

"Well, you are going."

"Isn't this a job for Hands, i am sure that Duff would-"

"NO. You are going, annd that is final."

"Very well."

"Good, now, we are sending you and a small force of Sith to Dantooine for a new supply of crystals."

"Isn't dantooine controlled by the Jedi?"

"That is why we are sending a strike team, with you in the lead, the Lords want to test your abilities in an actual battleground, though we highly doubt you will do any fighting, this is only a precaution. you will be allowed to pick your team, though Minious wants his new apprentice on the team, he wants to know his abilities as well."

"There is only 1 other person I want."

"Then wake him, for you leave now."

Bowing, he quickly walked toward Amor's room, entered, and awoke him.

"What is it?"

"Your coming with me on an assignment"

"Finally leaving this dump, eh?"

"Don't call it a dump."

Amor followed him out and they headed towards the hangar, Actir was waiting for them.

"This is Minious's apprentice, watch him, his skills are not fully developed."

"Yes Lady Actir"

"You know," Actir said to him, "you should really lower your hood to your superiors."

"I only lower it in battle, it is just my custom, hides the horns."

They all bowed, and boarded the YT-1300, a small freighter but suitable for 3 people, and with that they were off.

**Chapter 3**

On Dantooine

"They gave us 3 cargo barrels, thats quite a few crystals for lightsaber purposes." Scions said, going over there supplies.

They had landed an hour ago, and were going through docking procedures, just alot of paperwork.

Scion had felt quesy about the task at hand, this had been his first time on another planet in a very long time. Also, a jedi controlled planet.

Amor and Magnagreivous were completely fine, even overconfident. During his studies, he had noticed that to be the one true failing of the Sith.

"How are we going to transfer them back?" Magnagreivous asked

"We'll get droids"

Scion knew this was easy, but yet he could not forget about all Jedi that could be here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The other side of the spaceport

Koras walked next to Dakoth, as they had been making there rounds given by the Council to watch over the new colony.

"Nothing out of the ordinary" Dakoth shrugged

"Yep"

"You feel like checking the crystal caves?"

"Not really, but we got a job to do."

"I don't even know why we have to, we get most of our crystals from Ilum now anyways."

"This is still a secondary source of crystals if Ilum was ever captured by the Sith."

They decided to walk, because it wasn't that far.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Entrance to Dantooine Crystal Caves

"Don't rush, we got all the time in the world."

This had ended up being so easy of a job, they were starting to slack in their quality of work and went for rapidity, which caused many damaged crystals. Luckily, almost all the barrels were full, Scion decided to make the last trip himself, telling the others to go back to the ship and wait for him.

He walked to the cavern were the most crystals had been located, enjoying there beauty. One crystal caught his eye, a pure obsidian rock, and it called to him. he went over, examining it's beauty. it was smooth, and a power eminated from it, calling to him, wanting him.

He had been so mezmerized by it he didn't even notice the blue blade ignite to his left, and when it came down, he had just barely rolled out of the way.

Igniting one end of his double bladed lightsaber, its red beam met the blue beam in a shower of sparks, sending the room into a light. in the light he saw feirce determination in what looked like a togruta. His opponent made a quick jab. Quickly recognising Makashi, Scion went into his nuetral stance of Vaapad and twisted the blow away from him. Scion quickly realized he still held the crystal in his hand, and he dropped it, getting a better grip on his lightsaber, and went into an aggresive stance, pressing his advantage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside, Amor stood defending Magna against the jedi, who had seemingly popped out of nowhere. With his 2 lightdaggers, he tried again and again to disarm his opponent, but to no prevail. He yelled to Magna to get the ship ready, and to bring it over here with the goods.

Amor quickly flipped over him, and knocked the lightsaber out of the Jedi's hand. With the other, he went for the killing blow...

And missed completely, instead, having his arm grabbed and the lightsaber pulled from his hand, in which the red on red blade continued to flash, while, in the distance, the YT-1300 came slowly into veiw.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scion pushed back the Jedi to almost a rocky Abyss, but he had flipped just in time to the cave entrance, blocking the way out for Scion. Angered filled him, fueling his attacks, though Makashi (which Seti had proved to him in a duel once) was able to parry every blow. Getting annoyed, Scion forced his hand forward and an unexpected stream of lightning came and shocked the togrutas lightsaber, forcing him to hold it defensivley, while his other hand dropped his lightsaber and sent another jet of lightning directly onto the Jedi,who was flown back by Scion's power and anger.

Unluckily for Scion, he didn't cut off the lightning after that, so it spread to the entrance of the raocky cavern, of which the Jedi had been thrown out, and quickly collapsed the entrance. Slowly, the tremors from the collapse had caused the entire cavern to begin caving in. Scion reached for his lightsaber and the crystal and looked for another exit, but found none, and he knew right there, that he was going to die.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Koras began to run outside the cave, which the Sith had caused to collapse, and found Dakoth still fighting the othe Sith, but the Stih gave him a quick kick, flipped backwards onto the ship, used the force to retreived the lightsaber that had just been dropped, and stared at the crmbling debris of the crystal cave.

Koras ran over to Dakoth, checking for wounds.

"You ok?"

"Didn't exactly expect this on a regulation inspection."

"I bet they weren't either."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amor quickly told Magna to take off and set course for Kroplu (someone verify that spelling please), lowering his head at the death of his old master.

I had just got back to Amor thought He hasn't seen the galaxy at all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scion didn't think death would be bad, but it was hell.

He felt the pain of his old master, felt every bone in his body being crushed, and knew, after he felt tremendous pressure on his head, that nothing could save him.

Seconds later, the rock came down, and crushed his head.

**Chapter 4**

Kroplu

"To conclude, two of the crates worth of crystals had been destroyed, and High Inquisitor Scion is dead."

Amor stood in front of the whole council, recounting the incident on Dantooine. He had received a small wound on his arm when the Jedi had disarmed him. Magna was standing behind Minious and looking around anxiously at all the Lords and Ladys, but mostly the Empress, who, herself, looked unconcerned by this news.

"We will hold a funeral procession for those who wish to pay respects."

"Yes, my Empress."

About to leave the council room, Actir called him

"Amor, did you not wish to be an inquisitor?"

"Yes, milady."

"Well, you have the experience and qualifications, and we now have a new job opening."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dantooine

His dreams were at first about a great Sith fleet firing at itself, followed by the Empress Chick's body vanished, and then he awoke to a voice saying:

"How did you do that?"

Darth Scion, having an extreme headache, opened his eyes, and saw an old women dressed in simple robes. The look of her was very frightening, and he almost gasped, but didn't have the strength for it, nor the strength to pull himself into a decent position. her eyes were milky white, no pupils could be seen, and she looked older than anyone he had ever seen. Again, she asked him:

"How did you do that."

Her voice was cold and empty of emotion, and that made it direct, as though you were being forced to answer.

"Do what?"

"I saw your body get crushed by rocks, and I pulled your deformed body out, only to see it reshape itself and for your breathing to regulate."

"Reshape itself, but what?"

Then, he remembered his fight with the jedi, the cave collapsing,and intense pain, and then he remembered more.

"Your body reshaped itself, I have seen this use of the Force, but never in such a powerful quantity and quality, the other user kept his battle scars." the woman inquired.

"I know how to use the Force"

"So do I, but I couldn't save myself like that."

"My... old master.... he had learned how to cheat death."

"A vile use of the Force."

"And surprisingly, useful."

She ponderred this for a moment, and nodded, adding:

"You need food"

"Yeah, that might help."

He found the strength to pull himself up, and looked around. He stared crestfallen at the shattered remnants of his lightsaber. Directly next to it, was the crystal, as smooth and untouched as it had ever been. He picked it up and put it in his pocket, still woozy, and turned to the woman. he reached towards his belt, and took out the only ration supply he had, a dehydrated fruit, mainly used for space travel, but it would do for now.

"How did you learn how to do that?" The woman asked again

"Listen lady, you are really getting on my nerves, I would just like to get back to the spaceport and go back to the Temple."

"Good luck with that."

"What is that suppossed to mean?"

"Its gone, the whole colony is."

"HOW?"

"The cave in you started started a chain reaction, it turns out it goes a lot deeper than was expected, right under the city, earthquake leveled the whole town, I looked and found no survivors."

"Wouldn't the Republic send someone?"

"They did, and the ship had already gone passed the planet. i think because of it's unlucky nature, they have stopped trying to make a colony here."

"How did they miss me?"

"I hadn't found your body yet, and they just left."

"How am I supposed to get off this rock?"

"It doesn't concern me, but right now there isn't a way off of the planet, and there probably won't be for years."

Scion screamed in anger, he was stuck on a deserted planet with no food or transportation to get off. He kicked at the ground and almost attacked the woman, but grew tired to quickly and collapsed.

"So much anger, it makes me want to scream."

"Anger gives focus and strength, something I need."

"Focus? Strength? What about overconfidence, frustration, clumsiness? Anger gains nothing unless it is controlled."

"How would you know?"

"I have embraced that path before, and it led me to the thing you see before yourself."

Scion looked at her, her disfigurements. Suddenly, he realized, to prevent himself from going crazy, he needed someone to talk to, and this woman, no matter how long she would probably last, was the only other living thing on the island, and decided now was the time to make friends, not enemies. He held out his hand to her, saying:

"I am Darth Scion, and you are?"

"Oh, a Sith, and Scion you say? i knew a Sion once, much different than you." She replied without offering her hand. "Wasn't that a little kind for a Sith?"

"Desparate times call for desparate measures."

"Desparate times?"

"I am stuck here, and I have a bad feeling something will happen to friends."

"Frie-"

"Allies"

"You are to young to have known the Sion I speak of."

"Are you talking about Darth Sion?"

"Yes."

"You knew my old master?

"Sion had an apprentice?"

"Nihilus did."

"Nihilus had a slave, who was later freed."

"Well, I was his apprentice, until I was destroyed on the Ravager when the Exile destroyed it. I was reborn about 10 years before the outbreak of the clone wars, and, up until now, that had been the only time my masters' training in pain had ever been effective. but why do you care so much about all of this?"

"I trained him."

Scion laughed out loud. The person who had trained his master had been a very powerful Sith Lord who had been born thousands of years ago, and although the lady was looked old enough to be her, he had never heard of anything capable of living that long.

"Stop it."

And Scion did, something in her voice made him do it.

"You are powerful, you just haven't found your purpose yet."

"What are you talking about?"

"You laughed because I said I trained your old master, which I did."

Finally, she offered her right hand to him, and he just noticed her left hand was missing. When he tried to grasp it, his hand slipped right through hers, and he recoiled back.

"I am assuming you have never seen a ghost before?"

"No"

"My spirit is still able to wander the galaxy after all these years, so i never get eternal sleep. But I can make contact with those of my choosing."

"How did you pull me out?"

"Death has it's advantages."

"You said you can use the Force?"

"Yes"

"Ok, do you have shelter?"

After he said it, he realized it was probably the stupidest question he had ever asked.

"I didn't know ghosts needed them, but follow me, and I will show you a place to rest, for a while at least."

"Oh, by the way, I never got your name?"

"Well, you will call me Kreia, but you probably know me better as Darth Trayas."

And with that, she led him away from the remnants of the cave, and into the unknown.

**Chapter 5**

A.B.Y. 47

Kroplu

"Up next, Darth Shadow versus Darth Scion." Said Saber, who was announcing at this years duelling tournament.

Darth Scion stepped into the duelling ring, leaving behind his cloak, just as Shadow did the same, and they met in the center of the ring, shaking hands when Saber said to, and taking a few paces back to their starting position. He ignited his lightsaber in a standard doublebladed flourish, holding horizontally in front of him while Shadow ignited his duel blades in an X. Scion heard Saber's voice sound: Begin, and Shadow charged him immediately.

Attacking feircely, using Darth Blight's recently created form Shaik Sai, which he had mastered very quickly after it was created, while Scion was using his Juyo, drawing off Shadow's fury in the fight. Being pushed back right away, he swung the blade down on top off Shadow and flipped over him, his other blade comin up to meet Shadow's. Shadow kicked him in the chest and Scion went down hard, kicking himself up and swiping immediately, hoping for decapitation, remembered it wasn't allowed, but it didn't matter, because Shadow had ducked and swung one of his blades up, slicing the the blade in half.

Getting rid of the second half of his lightsaber, Scion fought back ferosciously, almost disarming Shadow twice. Scion's new found rage made Shadow enter a defensive battle, pushing Scion with the Force and shooting bursts of lightning at him. Scion would block the pushes and catch the lightning, but he couldn't get Shadow stuck. Sudden;y, Shadow left a small opening when he twriled to try and get on the offensive. Going in, Scion swung towards the point where the opening was, onlt to feel a sharp pain in his side and a burning sensation in his rigth hand as it flew off, lightsaber and all.

Scion staggered for a moment, then got up, and bowed to Shadow.

"And the winner of the round, Shadow." Saber announced g=from her podium.

There were cheers and congratulations from the crowd as Scion and Shadow returned to the benches, alchemists coming to observe Scion's wounds as he pushed them away, throwing on his cloak, and sitting down to watch the rest of the tournament play out. Lord Minious ended up besting Shadow for the victory, though Shadow got second. Scion got fourth for his inabilty to compete the deciding round. When Scion got to his room that night, he took a small knife and began a small cut down his arm in his old Zabraki clan symbol for pain, allowing himself to scream as he did it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B.Y. 49

Dantooine

Scion woke up screaming from his dream.

Kreia had shown him the old Jedi Encalave that had been there, and although the top floor had been completely decimated, the lower floors had still retained structure, in which he had foun a suitable place to sleep.

He returned to the surface to see the woman waiting for him.

"How do you feel?"

Like my whole bady was crushed recently."

"Luckily that makes sense."

"You don't have any food, do you?"

She chuckled slightly, the first time he had seen her use a semi-freindly emotion.

"What? Sith can't find food?"

"Last time I checked, you were a Sith too."

"I followed other paths as well."

"Yeah, a nice charade."

"Well, the last time I checked, ghosts didn't need food. You will have to get your own."

"Anything worth eating here?"

"The only thing that has decent meat is the Iriaz I beleive, and they are quite docile."

"I need something to kill it with."

"What, are Sith inadequate without the Force now?"

"NO, I, uhhh you are frustrating."

"Hmm, well, you wanted something to kill it with, and you have it, the Force. Using lightning would probably cook it for you too."

"You are hilarious."

Scion went out to a feild, noticing a herd of Kath's, near it, a herd of Iriaz."

Scion picked one of the plumper ones up with the Force, pulled it towards him, and crushed his neck.

Scion was going to ask about fire, but, thinking she would make another annoying comment that would bother him, he decided not to.

Dragging the corpse behind him with the Force, he came to the wreckage of the old colony, with some fires still burning. Thanking the Force, he moved towards, used the Force to make the fire bigger and roasted teh meat, deciding to try and save the fire, but trying to figure out how.

Wishing he could call for a ship, he suddenly remembered.

"My Cimmlink!'

As he launched himself upwards to get it, Kreia interjected:

"Busted, like the rest of your stuff, except that rock."

"Ah, I am never going to get off."

"Probably not."

"Am I going to go crazy?"

"Depends upon what yo do with your time, you could try and set up communications with parts left over..."

"There isn't enough here to do anything except to make maybe a glowstick. Although, there maybe weapons for hunting. And vibroblades, I could cut down trees, try and build an actual home, and maybe, i could use the equpment for fire starters, there actually might be enough fuel left over for energy."

Ideas kept coming to him one by one. Maybe he would survive this, maybe he wasn't stuck.

"That's a lot for one person."

"I have nothing better to do."

"That is true."

Scion then searched thoroughly through the wreckage of the colony, but most of the fuel had been spilled and burned most of the usable items. Collecting what wasn't in bad condition, he trudged back up to the hill side.

He had found 3 power cells, 2 hunting rifles with 3 clips of ammo each, 2 vibroblades, food rations, and a comlink, which he tried immediately, but apparently the Republic had taken down the satellite, no longer needing it from a dead planet. Dead, except for 1 person.

But, he had a chance, and that alone made him strive for it.

He started construction on a simple cabin, using the vibroblades with help from the Force, as Kreia watched him from the sides. He worked late into the night, only retiring to the fireside and his makeshift bed to get a few hours of sleep, which he was used to. He also asked Kreia many questions, at first, because she was someone to talk to.

But, as time went by, as his house looked more and more complete, Kreia's words began to make sense. During bad times, people will accept radical ideas, but Kreia, although she had been a Sith Lord, had veiws that sometimes differed from those of the Sith. She rarely used the Force for personal gain, and accepted sometimes that helping people would gain you more than killing them.

He began to ask her her veiws on the Force, on how it should be used, on what it was. And she sat there, and told him. He became more and more interested in the light side of the Force, which she had studied for quite sometime, and Scion suddenly felt like he was missing out. He had foolishly accepted the Dark Side had been stronger, without even considering what the light side had to offer.

On one particular night, he had started the roof at his work, and decided to stop for the day, walking down to the bed and fire. Kreia was waiting for him, and when he came he asked her:

"Lady Traya, why do the jedi have a desire to help people?"

"jedi give up there lives for the sake of others because they are usually brainwashed onto doing so, but they beleive that doing the right thing will create a more peaceful galaxy, but what they don't realize is a Sith controlled galxay would be peaceful too, it just wouldn't be controlled by the Jedi, which makes it evil. They feel selfless, helping others would spread love through the galaxy. Making peace would be a great thing, stop all this fighting between Jedi and Sith, it is pointless bickery over control of the Galaxy."

"Pointless? It wouldn't be pointless if the jedi would just submit to Sith rule!" Scion was angry at her for making an accusation towards the Sith, the party she used to belong to.

"I didn't expect you to agree with me, but it is true. If both parties would set there differences aside, wouldn't that stop fighting?"

"You don't get it! If the Jedi would just let the Sith have the galaxy, there would be no problems!"

"You are blinded by your own faith in your system."

"And you are blinded by your death! It is not you who has to worry about death! You do not have to worry about famine, and attack. You are safe in your own little dimension!"

"Just to be sure, this mission was the 1st time out of the Temple?"

"Im going to bed."

"Suit yourself"

And with that, Scion went to sleep, angry with Kreia. When he slept, he had the reacurring dream of Lord Shadow defeating him in the tournament, waking up screaming the very next day.

**Chapter 6**

A.B.Y. 49

Coruscaunt

"And what are your plans for this expedition?"

Gantor smiled to himself. This expedition was going to go great. He had the best team money could buy, and this was being funded by the government, for show, they had said. Even a jedi was coming with to keep up appearence, though it he was also a safety precaution.

"We will be exploring the caves for mineral research and crystal collection." Gantor replied, "but now, we must head out now, and we will return in several days."

There were cheers as Gantor went to the rather luxurious ship, especially for just a cave expedition, but the Republic was in a good mood. The Sith Empire had come into contact with another Sith Empire and many beleived the Sith were to fall in a civil war. This expedtion was an even greater victory over the tragedy that had struck a year ago on the colony on Dantooine, killing the whole colony.

But now things were looking up, and as Gantor and the jedi, whose name was Vedo, and his crew, specially hand picked by himself, were going on a mission for the Republic, for hope and prosperity, and there was nothing that could go wrong.

They had enough food for weeks, working comlinks, they had even brought blaster pistols and swords and dirks in case wildlife got out of hand. The Jedi had his lightsaber and the Force, and that reassured them that nothing could go wrong. Absolutely nothing could go wrong.

He motioned to the pilot to set their course, and before the new it, stars became white streaks, as they went into hyperspace towards Dantooine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dantooine

Scion awoke from his small hut to the sounds of engines, at first, mistakening it for a dream, but then he heard them coming clearer. he lept out of his bed and raced to the hillside near the old landing pad. And there was a ship, a rather impressive one at that.

He sensed 8 beings on the ship, one happening to be Force Sensitive, a Jedi. Finally, a chance to get off.

"What is going on?"

She was back, Scion dreaded her cold tone, and now, he no longer needed it.

"Go away, I am leaving."

"Well then, I wish you good luck."

"I wish you that too."

And with that he took the vibrblade and swung it through her, and she evaporaated into air.

"Goodbye, witch, I think Scourge would have liked you."

And with that, he left toward there ship after the crew had left. He hid in a supplies room, finding something to eat and anything else of use.

Scion had spent many times studying with Lord Zero and Darth Duff about stealth and being an Assassin, and besides Zero, Duff, and Amor, he was probably the best assassin in the Empire. He felt becoming invisible was pointless, you could hide yourself perfectly fine from non force sensitives, and jedi could sense you anyways.

Sadly, the vibroblade was to big for stealth, so he ditched, knowing he always had the Force.

Scion looked through there supplies and saw a dirk. Perfect.

He found a rather vacant room, and closed and locked the dooor, waiting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gantor was frustruated. The cave had been destroyed even beyond entering, much less exploring.

"We will have to turn back early," muttered Vedo, whos hand had been catiously over his lightsaber the whole time on Dantooine.

"You ok?" Gantor asked

"I just want to get off this planet, it feels, odd." Vedo replied.

"Vedo is right, we will try another planet, the Republic wont care, we didn't spend that much money here at all."

And with that, they headed back to the ship, the jedi's lightsaber held in the Jedi's hand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scion heard them all get on, and after about an hour of loading thier gear back on, they lifted off, and went into hyperspace.

Scion had waited for this, and was glad the ship was so big. He found an air duct and using the Force, muffled most of the noise he created. He found the first dormitory, in which were 2 people. Scion waited till ones back was turned, then crushed one of the bodies. Scion lept down and silently slit the others throat. Using the Force, he put the 2 bodies up into the air duct he had just come out of.

Opening the door to the rest of the ship, one more person was walking down the hall. Scion quickly ended his life by throwing the dirk at the back of his neck. If he had been correct, there were 5 more on the ship.

He hid the body in a closet, and continued down the hall towards the cockpit. Unfortunately, he sensed the rest of the beings in the cockpit, including the jedi.

"When will Kator come bakc, I am hungry."

"Vedo, whats up your butt?"

"Nothing, I am going to bed."

Scion hid himself with the Force, knowing to deal with the Jedi later. Knowing there were too many in the cockpit, Scion headed towards the communications line and cut it. Better.

Scion layed low a few hours, and the crew was getting uneasy.

"It's been hours, where are they?"

"I dont know."

"MAybe Vedo could sense them out."

"He's sleeping, or meditating, maybe we should split up and search."

"A classic plan, but the best we have, its not that big of a ship."

"Ok, we split up and meet here in 20 minutes, search high and low."

Scion felt them out and sensed a presence coming towards him. Waiting for the opportune moment, he open the door and jabbed to his left, directly into the jugular of a passing crew member. Hhiding her in the room he just left, he followed the closest presence.

The man had gone near the airlock to search for missing suits. When Scion came however, he opened the airlock, and it made little noise. The man turned and Scion pushed him into it, closing the door to the ship, and opening the doors to space. The man was sucked out and died instantly.

3 more to go.

The last woman was easy, just a snap of the neck and she was gone. by now 25 minutes had pasted and the last man had awoken the jedi.

"There is a problem, everyone's gone."

"There dead."

"What?"

"I can't sense them"

"But who"

"A Sith"

Vedo ignited his lightsaber, its green blade protruding from the hilt.

"Get to the cockpit."

They both went and Scion, knowing hope of a sneaky kill was gone, went back to the locked suply room, and found a vibroblade, hoping it was made with cortosis.

And with that, he went to the cockpit.

"Hello, Sith"

Scion said nothing but attack. The man next to him tried to radio help, but Scion had already knocked out communications. The Jedi drove him back out into a place with more space, and Scion happily found that there was cortosis in the vibroblade.

Scion took the offensive, trying to disarm the jedi, who blocked every move. Soresu, Scion thought irritably. He began using brute strength to push the jedi back, and it worked, until he felt a blaster wound in his leg, as the man shot him.

The Jedi was about to amke a killing blow, but Scion rammed his vibroblade into the mans gut. The man dropped his lightsaber, which moments later was picked up by Scion, who turned to the man who had shot him.

The man couldn't move with fear. Scion would bring pain to this man, and he would enjoy it.

He slowly began to crush the man, feeling his organ's slowly implode from pressure in the Force, his lungs running out of room to pump air, his body suspended in the same air he was gasping for. The man's skull broke into his brain, and his control of his body was released. The man went limp, and Scion crushed it to no more than a small cube.

The Jedi's lightsaber in hand, he walked to the cockpit, reset his destination to the secret location of Kroplu, and the stars became nothing but streaks in the sky.

Darth Scion had returned, and his fury, greater than ever.
