115 Chapter 112: Fifth Great Schism Episode IV
Staring at Mundi I raised my brows in his direction.
"Tell me sperm head, have you lost your mind or are you have you drank so much of the Jedi kool-aid that your mind is actually telling you what you're doing is a good idea? That there won't be any consequences or repercussions for your actions?" I asked.
Drawing my gold bladed lightsaber from my belt and activating it.
Meanwhile HK-47 pulled out WESTAR-34 blaster pistols he was wearing at the back of his waist from holsters he was wearing there.
For he never goes anywhere without a weapon.
A habit I am grateful to have picked up from him.
"Oh, believe me I know there will be consequences for my actions. But I am willing to accept any punishment. So long as I can stop you and your Sith cohorts before you begin creating another 'Brotherhood of Sith' or 'Brotherhood of Darkness'." Mundi explained to him.
Which caused me to give him a strange look.
"This motherfucker is truly crazy.' I thought.
The Jedaii Order is not another Brotherhood of Sith or Brotherhood of Darkness. Which this dumb kriff would realize if he took the time to have a conversation with us or properly investigate us.
But no.
Instead here he is, ready to kill me and the others without any ryhmn or reason, except the fact we practice the dark side of the Force.
A thing the Jedi themselves do many times.
They truly are the worst kind of hypocrites.
Which is why I won't feel bad for removing Mundi from their ranks, permanently.
Besides, I want to see how I measure up to a Jedi master sitting on the high council.
For I know I am strong, but not exactly how strong.
I know there quite few Force users my skills still can't measure up to yet. Like Sidious, Windu, Yoda, Plo Koon, Yaddle, etc.
But on the other hand I know that no one in my generation stands a chance against me.
Most Jedi knights in the order definitely can't, save for maybe a few senior knights.
So I am stronger than pretty much all Jedi knights, but not strong enough to confront people the likes of Windu and say I can win if we fought.
I am in the middle.
So I need a measuring bar, and wouldn't you know it Mundi just volunteered to become that bar.
What a nice gift he's given me.
I certainly can't waste it.
"HK-47 contact the others, including the Jedi ship and inform them of what's happening. Alao, stay back unless you see me about to get killed." I quickly explained.
"Statement: Yes master." HK-47.
He then backed up.
Once he was out of the way I empowered my body with the Force and rushed at Mundi.
The Cerean Jedi master doing the same.
Upon reaching each other we swung our lightsabers.
The blades clashing and creating sparks.
Signaling the start of our battle.
--------------------
(3rd Person: POV)
Inside the cruiser his team had taken to Mandalore, Plo Koon was in his private room meditating.
Which he immediately stopped when he sensed powerful shockwaves in the Force.
'Someone is engaging in battle.' Plo Koon thought.
Then right after he did Adi Gallia entered his room, a worried and angry expression on her face.
"What has happened?" Plo Koon asked.
"Master Mundi has gone and attacked Van Sunrider. The two of them are currently engaging in battle." Master Gallia quickly explained.
Plo Koon becoming angry and worried just as she was after hearing her words.
"We must put a stop to that battle immediately." Plo Koon said.
The two of them then left his room.
Heading for where the battle between Van and Mundi was taking place.
Neither hoping they were too late.
-------------------------
Doing her best not to let the dark side overtake her thinking and guide her actions, Serra worked to stay calm as HK-47 contacted her and the others and explained how Jedi master Mundi had shown up and started spouting crap from his mouth about Van, her, and the others being Sith before attacking Van.
Forcing him to enter into battle against Mundi.
'I hope Van makes that bastard suffer before ending him.' Serra darkly thought.
Her green eyes glowing a faint yellow after she did.
------------------------
*Zap Zap Zap*
The sounds of lightsaber clashing filling the air Van and Ki-Adi-Mundi went head to head.
The latter finding himself suprised.
For Mundi found not only was Van's lightsaber combat skills keeping up with his own, but at some points since their clash began the Cerean Jedi master felt himself being overtaken.
'So his skills have improved this much in such a short time. Still, that does not mean he will prevail in this battle.' Mundi thought.
Breaking his latest lightsaber clash with Van Mundi took a few steps back.
He then raised his free hand in Vans direction and unleashed a Force Wave at him.
Sensing the incoming attack Van raised his own free hand and unleashed his own Force Wave to counter Mundis'.
The two waves eventually meeting and clashing.
They then battled for dominance for a few seconds before canceling each other out.
The second after this happened Van rushed forward and closed the distance to Mundi once more.
Then before the Cerean Jedi could react Van threw his left elbow toward his gut, getting in a clean hit.
Despite this the Cerean Jedi held his ground.
Swinging his lightsaber diagonally, Mundi aimed for Vans' head.
Raising his gold bladed lightsaber Van easily blocked the attack.
He then sent out a kick with his left leg to sweep Mundi's feet off the ground.
Seeing the incoming attack aimed at his feet Mundi jumped back.
Having moved off the bridge and into a small plaza.
Using Force Jump Van followed after Mundi.
Then immediately after Van landed Mundi used his telekinesis to pick up and throw nearby benches and potted plants in his direction.
Raising his gold bladed lightsaber Van cut down any and all objects Mundi hurled at him using his telekinesis.
Chuckling as he did.
"Really master Mundi, is this all you have? So disappointing. And here I was expecting more from a member of the Jedi High Council." Van spoke.
Not being arrogant in the slightest.
Van having found it surprisingly easily to keep up with, and even slightly dominate master Mundi in the battle they were currently engaged in.
Telling Van one of two things.
Either Mundi is much weaker than he expected, or he didn't realize how strong he himself had become.
No matter what the right answer was Van knew one thing for sure.
Mundi was not winning the battle.
Feeling enraged at Van's words Mundi stopped hurling objects at him using telekinesis, and instead charge at him to engage in more lightsaber combat.
Welcoming the challenge Van took the opening stance for Makashi, and then once Mundi reached him he once again began engaging the Cerean Jedi master in a lightsaber duel.
Using his saber to block Mundi's form I wide swings, Van stayed on the defensive. Yet he was easily dominating the battle.
Blocking, parrying, and outright dodging. Van expertly used Makashi, and had Mundi eating out of his hands.
For as the lightsaber duel progressed Mundi began breathing heavily, while Vans' breathing wasn't even labored in the slightest.
Realizing this Mundi attempted to put distance between him and Van so he could recover a bit.
But immediately noticing what Mundi intended to do Van made sure not to allow it.
Switching from defense to offense Van began sending quick jaba towards Mundi, now forcing the Cerean Jedi to block and be on the defensive.
Getting faster and faster Van empowered himself using Mundi's panic, frustration, and the slightest bit of fear.
"No, it will not end like this!" Mundi suddenly shouted.
He then lept back, before immediately running towards Van with a powerful overhead slash.
Despite this Van remained calm.
Ready himself he waited until Mundi was upon him, then at the least second he parried the Jedi masters overhead slash.
Sending Mundi's lightsaber out of his grasps.
Then before Mundi could make another move Van without any hesitation sliced off Mundis' right arm at the shoulder.
The arm the Cerean used to wield his lightsaber.
"Agh!!!" Mundi screamed in agony as his right arm hit the ground.
Yet Van paid no attention to the Jedi masters scream.
Instead Van kicked Mundi in the chest and sent him rolling across the ground.
Van licking his lips as he drank in and reveled in Mundis' pain and fear.
His eyes beginning to glow slightly yellow as he did.
As Mundi stopped rolling Van approached him, his gold bladed lightsaber at the ready to deliver the final strike and end the Jedi masters life.
But just as Van stopped in front of Mundi and was about to finish him.
"Van, stop!"
He heard master Plo Koon call out to him.
Turning his head in the direction of Plo Koons' voice he saw the Kel For Jedi master arrive.
Along with the other masters on the investigative team.
Just as they showed up, so too did Serra and the others.
Along with HK-47 and several Mandalorian guards.
"Van, I ask you, stop this." Plo Koon spoke.
"Stop, why should I, when this bastard decided he could simply execute me and my friends!" Van shouted. Pointing at Mundi. His voice empowered by the Force.
This caused Plo Koon and the other masters to flinch back.
For they now realized how much more poweful Van had become since they last saw him.
"I understand your frustration. And I to am apalled at master Mundi's actions. But killing him will only make things worse." Plo Koon said. "Hand him over to us and I promise, he will face justice."
"Now I think we both know that's a lie master Plo." Van immediately replied. "But since I respect you and you are Yennali's master I'll give Mundi this one time free pass. But only this one." Van spoke.
Deactivating his gold bladed lightsaber Van returned it to his hip.
He then picked up Mundi using telekinesis and threw him at the feet of Plo Moon's group.
"There you are. Now, take him and go." Van said.
"Thank you." Plo Koon replied.
"It is not problem master Plo." Van retorted. "Also tell those in the order this. If they wish to stop bottling up their emotions, if they wish to find balance between the light and the dark, then tell them to head towards Ossus. For that is the place the Jedaii Order calls home."
"What, you dare defile Ossus?!" Master Billaba shouted.
"No one was using it so we made it ours." Serra spoke up. "The Jedi abandoned the world."
"They did, and as I just said the Jedaii Order now calls its home. And if the Jedi Order tries to take is from us, they will not like the consequences." Van darkly spoke. "Well then, good day." He said.
Van then turned around and left the area, his Jedaii cloak flapping in the wind behind him as he did.
Meanwhile Plo Koon's group collected Mundi.
All of them thinking about what Van had just revealed to them once again.
-------------
A/N: Oh yeah, Van put the smack down on Mundi.
But not all his fights will be so one-sided.
For as I said in the chapter Van is strong. But not unbeatable.
There are foes he will still struggle against like Mace Windu, Yoda, Plo Koon, Sidious and several others.
Stay tuned for more.
