Sith Conquest : Blanket of Darkness

[Emperor Inferno]

"Very good, Captain."

Corruptus turns and walks into the town hall, now the Dantooine Sith headquarters. Holoscreens were set up along several walls, with live feeds surveying the city, watching the air traffic of supplies between orbit and the surface, and also small cameras trooper's helmets. Officers are walking about, monitoring the screens, and overseeing the organization of supplies and troops. In another room, there is already a dueling ring set up where sevral acolytes are practicung and sparring with each other. Corruptus smiles approvingly at how quicly and well done everything is. His eyes come to rest on a live feed from his Apprentice. Corruptus stands and watches Malus search.

Orn follows Lord Corruptus into the new planetary headquarters. He stands by his side as the feed from Malus plays, showing Tereth's squad riding out in front, still searching.

"Are you pleased with everything, my Lord?"

 

[Emperor Inferno]

"Very," comes the simple response.

As the feed continues, the sound of screaming erupts from the room behind them, where the children are sparring. Corruptus strides in to find one child on top of another, having thrown away his practice ligthsaber, which is relatively harmless by design, the youthful boy is now proceeding to pound his sparring opponent in the face, his own masked with rage. Orn looks shocked, but Corruptus chuckles appreciatively, as if he finds it cute. He raises his hand, still smiling, and gently lifts the enraged lad in the Force.

"Ah! Let me go! Put me down! I'll kill you! I'll-"

The child's words stick in his thorat as he rotates around and sees the person he had been threatening. His face becomes one of terror.

"No! No, my Lord, I did not-"

"Silence." Again the boy's word's stop short. The boy finally processes Corruptus' persistent smile and relaxes. Corruptus sets him down, standing. The small child stands facing the Lord of the Sith, looking nervous. "You did quite well."

"Th- thank you, my Lord."

"Based on your aggressive, explosive nature, I think I know the perfect Sith to train you." He gets out his communicator. "Lord Incinerous, how would you like to take on a rather - fiery - young lad as your Apprentice?"

Darth Incinerous nodded hearing his old Masters Instructions.

I wake up in the morning and check around my temporary camp to make sure all is going well. I walk back into my tent. "Don not disturb me until I tell you you may, understand?" "Yes sir!" replied the guard. I walk into my tent and open my rucksack. I take out a syringe filled with a green liquid. "The rate of minute vibration is a little bit off, about 4 milliliters of..," I grumble on about chemistry as i inject myself and then put the syringe back in my rucksack. Then I take out my com link. "Commander Rez Tereth reporting, still holding position and awaiting re-enforcements."

The ship slowly lowered it's-self to the ground, landing to the left of Darth Corruptus' main ship lightly and elegantly. The hatches opened, and Zariel stepped out, accompanied by two troopers. He looked around, and seeing the apparent aftermath of a slaughter, smiled. He knew where to go now.

He raised a small communicator to his mouth, and spoke into it.

"Disembark."

Another hatch opened on Zariel's ship, and 24 troopers stepped off. Zariel had decided to leave most of them behind to stamp out the rest of the rebellion, and so had only taken a few of his stronger and better disciplined troopers. He looked over them, and smiled to himself. They were exactly what he thought soldiers should be; loyal, organized, and cold.

He pointed at four of them. "You, stay and guard the ship. If you are outmatched, you know what to do." The four troopers nodded, and headed back into the ship.

"Now, the rest of you, follow on after me." With that, Zariel turned and headed towards the village, the troopers marching along behind him.

 

[Emperor Inferno]

Zariel reaches the interior of the Dantooine Headquarters to find Darth Corruptus watching several feeds with Captain Orn. Corruptus looks up and greets Zariel with a smile on his face.

"Commander Zariel. A pleasure to see you and your men here. I trust all is going well with the rebellion on Coruscant?"

Spoiler: Move forward.

I tire of standing still and our men thirst for Jedi blood. Malus or Tereth, next post you make should be the post where you find the Jedi headquarters and report it's location to me. As soon as you do, I will bring our forces and together we shall take the enclave. Tereth, I'm serious. No more of your little side story. Get a move on and do as instructed. I'm the GM for a reason.

 

[Azraellod]

"I believe so my lord." said Zariel, bowing. "The rebellion has been located and crushed for now, and in order to ascertain elimination for any remainders, I have left the majority of my troopers there for the moment."

 

[Emperor Inferno]

"Very good. You have a moment to relax, Commander. I await a report from my Apprentice on the precice location of the Jedi Enclave. When I recieve word on that, all our forces will move against the Jedi on this planet and crush them."

 

[this_username_sucks]

Captain Orn, still not over the shock that Corruptus had not simply killed the insolent youngling, stood by his Lord's left hand once again.

"It won't be long now, my Lord. We will crush the Jedi on this planet under your guidance."

OOC: I'm waiting for Malus,I don't want to drive the next series of events. When he gets here I'll be ready to do something

 

[lostclause]

Spoiler: OOC

Jumping on a speeder, Malus heads after the recon squad.

"Jedi" He growls. He says it over and over like a chant, slowly building the rage inside.

He Caught up to the Recon unit and threw back his hood so they knew it was him.

"The Master wants us to find the dirty jedi" His purple eyes began to glow with a deep seated hate as he said jedi.

OOC: I'm waiting for Malus,I don't want to drive the next series of events. When he gets here I'll be ready to do something

He's already with you guys. Go ahead for the next bit.

"Master, i have found the Jedi Enclave. It is located off of the river about 100 klicks of the town. I will await your arrival, my master."

 

[Emperor Inferno]

"Very good, Malus. Captain Returyl." He turned to the twi-lek with a smile. "Gather my personal squad and let us move against the Jedi. Commander Zariel. Leave enough of your men to keep my city comfortably secure. Bring the rest and follow me."

Soon, Corruptus, his highest officers, and three squads of fifteen troopers are on board speeders on their way to Malus and Tereth's location. When they arrive, they can see the Jedi Enclave.

"There it is. Take them."

Corruptus lead the assault. The Jedi are terrified. Corruptus and his troopers charg across the peaceful meadow, and Corruptus takes the head off a Jedi who had been out for a walk. Then, they arrive in the courtyard, filled with Jedi who are alert and ready now.

And the violence begins again.

Spoiler

Think the Jedi enclave in KOTOR. It's one circular building with a big courtyard in the middle, surrounded by fields and meadows. The building isn't solid, several places in the courtyard lead directly to the surrounding fields. We have arrived in this big central courtyard. The Jedi are strong here, so no "I AM ALL POWERFUL!" long strings of one hit kills. Other than that, we're surrounded by Jedi scum. Have fun.

Ahriman joined the charge into the Jedi compound. The first line of defenders scattered in fear at the Sith onslaught, those lucky enough to escape the fray retreating to the edges of the courtyard. The one before Ahriman, a young master, stood his ground.

The two force users drew lightsabres with Arhiman making the first move, a sweeping cut as he charged. The young master parried the blow, side-stepping the fallen Jedi. Ahriman turned on his heel to face his foe and, as the two squared off, Ahriman noticed the trooper standing behind the Jedi, blaster raised. Ahriman gave a barely perceptable nod. The trooper fired, the Jedi spun and deflected the laser. The bolt flew back the way it had been fired, breaking through the soldier's armour. At the same moment Ahriman lunged and pierced the Jedi through the back.

Kicking the husk of the Jedi off his blade, Ahriman sheathed his lightsabre and walked over to the fallen trooper. One good turn deserved another as they said. Touching the force, Ahriman reknitted the damaged flesh and bone and, in mere moments, aided the trooper in standing. Ahriman once again took out his lightsabre and surveyed the battle field, looking for either wounded or foes.

Moving like a shadow Malus creeped into the courtyard as his master made his big entrance. The Jedi detected his appearance and two charged him. With both light sabers working in complete unison, Malus danced around the two jedi leaping saber slashes and blocking when ever applicable. It was obvious that the two young Jedi had not fought together often as they were not in unison while fighting. Lashing out with a series of kicks, Malus caught the younger Shien practitioner off guard and quickly finished him while he turned to face the remaining Jedi.

"My friend, you are alone." He laughed a deep laugh as he charged in eyes blazing and sabers knitting an intricate pattern through the sky. The Young jedi's single saber was not enough to fend off the dual saber onslaught for long, and capitalizing on the young ones weakness, Malus lopped off his saber wielding arm and then his head.

He turned around to notice a fleeing young-one. Hardly five years old. Malus used the force to pull the young one closer and cut him in half.

He laughed maniacally as he charged into combat.

 

[Azraellod]

Zariel advanced purposefully. He had brought 4 men with him, and they all had very specific commands. He advanced until someone saw fit to try and block his way, running at him with their lightsaber at the ready. Zariel raised his arm and let loose a blast from his shock coil.

The Jedi was able to block this with his lightsaber, but that was exactly what Zariel wanted him to do. The shock coil was useful for immobilising the opponent's weapons, and with no other defences, Zariel's men all took aim and shot the man simultaneously. The four blasts took him down instantly.

Zariel had specifically ordered his men not to shoot unless a kill was certain. He had always found the way lightsabers deflected shots to be a major problem, and this was his way of fixing that problem. Alone all he could do was immobilise a Jedi unless the Jedi was caught off guard, but with this method he could pick them off one at a time.

 

[Emperor Inferno]

Spoiler: Damn good posting, guys, keep it up.

I will be on later for epic posty goodness of my own.

Orn had out his blast cannon, his Royal Squad of ten elite troopers were carying repeating blasters. Orn's favorite strategy worked very well, he would shoot low, at a Jedi's legs. The spread of the shotgun made it impossible for a lightsaber to deflect all the tiny bolts, so some always found their mark, causing the Jedi to fall, drop to a knee, or bend over in pain. He sould then shoot high, shotgun bolts hitting both head and body. Corruptus' Royal Squad, under Orn's command, concentrated fire on no more than three Jedi at a time, meaning that any Jedi under fire from his men was being shot at by at least three troopers at once. Few were skilled enough to effectively defend against the combined fire of three or more repeating blasters.

At the times when the Captain encountered a Jedi too fast for him to hit, all of his available men instantly concentrated fire on that Jedi, until they fell. One particularly skilled Jedi, a full Knight though perhaps not a Master, proved too fast for the four repeating blasters firing on her. Upon finishing off their respective targets, every one of Orn's squad fired on her at once, but she was just too fast. Orn smiled maliciously, revealing his pointy teeth, as he snuck around her. As she was busy tightly dodging and deflecting bolts coming from her front, too engaged to sense him with the Force, Orn raised his blast cannon and shot her point-blank in the middle of her back. She was dead before her lightsaber lowered, but all the same, all ten of Orn's squad fired on her at once as she fell, laughing as one at the brutalization of the once beautiful corpse.

"A rare prize" Growled Malus as a niman Master approached him. Her dual sabers gave off a green glow as they sliced threw storm troopers.

"Need a challenge?" Called Malus as he darted for her, she looked at him with her calm eyes and took a defensive stance.

"Your life ends here" She called to him as he laughed.

Malus darted foreward juking at the last moment to duck her right saber, flashing both his sabers at her to get her off balance. She gracefully flipped away using the force and dashed back at him.

"An Ataru practitioner as well? This will be fun" He called sliding out of the way of her dual thrust. Using his red sabers he parried both blows and brought his blades racing down towards her head. She instantly shot up a defense, but Malus knew she would buy the feint as he kicked her in the stomach sending her sprawling along the ground. A stray bolt flew at Malus, and as he blocked it she charged foreward, ducked his second blade, and tackled him at the mid section.

Malus rolled back, flipped her over his body using his feet, and sprung back up .

"That wasn't nice" He called as she threw a rock at him. He jumped over it to meet her charging attack. Their sabers shrieked through the air as each opponent blocked or barely avoided the enemies saber. The dance went on for nearly ten minutes before she began to show signs of attrition. Malus knew her weakness all along, Niman users could not block heavy blow for long, and because they used dual sabers we not able to use there full strength. This would have been the case for him as well, but because he was a Zabrak and trained heavily, he was able to strengthen his arms and learn to block and give powerful blows by adding the force and his own physical strength. She had lost before the fight even began and Malus knew, he had been playing with her and when her attrition finally began to show he moved in for the kill. Hammering down heavy blows with his right saber in such quick succession, he wore down her defense and thrusted his left low and threw her stomach.

As she fell with pain filled eyes he smiled and kicked her off his saber.

" Who's next?" He mused as her surveyed the battle field. Finding his target he charged back into battle.
