6 (Trouble in the Star Forge.)

Chapter six:

Sorry to say this to you guys but I've got the Royal Flush. Said Ja-ni.

The other Sith troopers threw down their cards and started yelling stuff as they walked away. Thanks for the credits, Venus said while picking up her money it was sad really because Venus had been left to keep watch over the Star Forge.

Emperor Vitiate had gone back to Coruscant and her Master was still handling things on Dantooine so she was practically all alone except for the thousands of Sith troopers and Dark Jedi's that were in the Star Forge. Lord Venus, an officer said. What is it Commander? Asked Ja-ni.

Bastila Shan had just arrived to refill her supplies. I just thought you might want to know. Said Commander Saul Karath.

Thank you Saul you are dismissed. Said Ja-ni. Venus had learned a lot about Bastila Shan. She was the Emperor's favorite amongst the Emperor's Hands and she could hear the Emperor's commands across the galaxy better than anyone except maybe her Master and Darth Malak. In the beginning she was just like Venus herself.

Bastila had been taken away from her family by Emperor Vitiate. The Emperor held her in the most highest esteem. It was rumored that she could even match Revan in lightsaber skill and in Force powers. She had to see this woman.

She had the figure of a dancer. Long brown hair and gray eyes. She looked just like Venus except one year older and with longer brown hair. Venus bowed as Bastila Shan walked past her. Bastila suddenly stopped when she looked at the young woman before her.

This must have been Revan's apprentice that so many Imperials had talked about. Said Bastila Shan. She was so sick of hearing about her when an evil smile came to her lips. Let's just see how really good you are Darth Venus.

Venus jumped from her bow to see what she had to say. I have heard stories about you and I think you are a great warrior. Said Bastila Shan. Venus nodded her head and said. Thank you Miss Shan.

So what do you say that you and I have a lightsaber duel against some Dark Jedi's? To see who is stronger. Said Bastila Shan. Venus wasn't sure about this the Dark Jedi's seemed much stronger than her and would beat her for sure, but knowing that Bastila Shan would be by her side gave her hope. When and where shall we meet Bastila? Ja-ni asked her.

I'm tired right now so we shall meet in this very place in two hours. Replied Bastila Shan smiling at her new friend.

Venus was in Darth Revan's personal training room. She would practice with droids for an hour then rest for an hour. The two droids came at her with speed no Dark Jedi or Sith trooper could match. She dodged the droids by stepping backwards and came at them in a W formation.

She stepped forward and swiftly cut the droids head off. Then stepped back again to get away from the other droids attack. She came forward and used Force Crush to shatter the droid into millions of pieces.

Bastila Shan didn't train. She just sat there reading a book because she knew they were going to win with the ace up her sleeve.

When Ja-ni was done training she tied her long brown hair into a huge bun, and Bastila Shan tied her long brown hair into two short ponytails, one on each side.

The two of them stepped forward, igniting their lightsabers. Let's see which is better an Emperor's Hand and a Sith Lord, or a bunch of Dark Jedi's. Bastila Shan said smiling at her new friend, and Ja-ni smiled back at her. Bastila and Ja-ni jumped up and almost touched the ceiling. They came back down as their blades met the Dark Jedi's.
