I Become Death

I got up and followed the howls. They of course led to the Dark Temple, as I had suspected. A Hellhound was at the entrance and led me in. It led me to the others of the pack. In some dark room on the lower floor of the temple. I found two corpses.

I identified them as the Knights. Looking at their wounds. They died from a lightsaber.

"Smell them, find what killed them. Drag it to me dead or alive", I command the Hellhounds.

They sniff, growl and then run off.

I did not have to wait long like last time though. I heard a howl in 20 minutes.

I was led to the upper floor of the temple into a large open hall. Within, a Pantoran male. The skin, which should be blue, was a dark purple and the eyes were red and yellow. Around him, the Hellhounds are trying to take him down. A few have been injured. One has died.

The Pantoran is...strong enough I suppose. Makes sense he could fend them off and even kill one. If I let the Hellhounds continue, he will fall regardless. The power is rapidly destroying him though. He should not live more than a year if he had a chance of surviving me. He is using power that is too strong and that isn't really his.

He yells out, "Your dogs surround me! I know you are here now! Show yourself! I will kill you like I did my old friends..."

I uncloak and motion for the Hellhounds to step back.

Without uncloaking, I say loudly, "Such a fool you are. To use power that isn't yours, inviting doom upon you."

He gets angry, "This power is what I always deserved! This freedom is what I craved! Now the Order cannot restrict me. I can destroy the corrupt Republic and replace it with something better. Under my guidance..."

I laugh, "Your mind is full of delusion. You are not thinking straight. You bent the Dark Side you your will and not it destroys you as you call upon its power. Both body and mind. Expediting your death, will please it."

I uncloak across from the Pantoran. He roars and leaps at me with a red lightsaber.

"I become death...", I whisper before swiping my hand across. Giving the Dark Jedi a Force bitch slap into a pillar in the dilapidated hall.

"I invoke emotion...", I then send out Force lightning into the Pantoran. Who screams out in hate, fear and anger.

I stop and he gets up with renewed vigor, rushing me in desperation with his lightsaber.

"Finally, I create change..."

I catch the lightsaber in my left hand, and power down the lightsaber. The Pantoran panics.

I then raise my foot and spartan kick the Pantoran into the far wall of the hall. Tens of meters away.

"The purpose made manifest through my enemy..."

The Pantoran is imbedded into the wall, bloody, broken, and dead.

"The Force works through me..."

Which it did. The Dark Side was settled within me. Like a cat resting on their owner's lap, asleep and purring.

I had attained a new level with the Dark Side. The mission yielded more rewards than I anticipated.

Now to finish it. I picked up the body of the Pantoran. Then I retrieved the bodies of the two Knights.

I loaded them up on the Upgrade ship. Leaving Dromund Kaas, I knew I would return later. The creatures here will make decent prey.

My next destination was Coruscant , the Jedi Temple. Yaddle herself will meet me at at the Jedi Temple Hangar.

I found it funny that I would welcomed to the Jedi Temple as a guest.

Kaljaren appeared while traveling through the stars, "Congratulations on deepening your understanding of the Dark Side Bido. However, I'm sure you know what you should do now?"

I nod, "Yes Master Kaljaren, I must achieve the same with the Light side."

I then ask, "Once I do so, how powerful will I be compared to the Jedi of old?"

Kaljaren smiled, "You will qualified to be a Jedi Master once you gain the same enlightenment in the Light Side. Not even a great one either. You'll meet the basic requirements for a Jedi to be a Master, haha."

I can't help but let out a snort/laugh, "Ah, the old orders were truly powerful. How far they've fallen."

Kaljaren agrees sadly, "Oh yes, how far indeed. Master Yaddle is a true Jedi Master though. I think you knew that anyways."

I agree, "Master Yaddle is truly deserving."

The ship came out of the Quantum Fold, Coruscant was in view. Kaljaren disappeared. I transmitted my codes and flew to the Jedi Temple.

I landed in the hangar without issue. I opened the bay doors and led out the bodies.

Master Yaddle was there to meet me, along with Master Qui-Gon Jinn, his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi, Grandmaster Yoda and Ki-Adi Mundi.

"Mmm, good work, you have done, see, I can.", Master Yoda said.

I chuckled at his broken up speech.

"Indeed Grandmaster Yoda. I did Master Yaddle's mission with no trouble. Greetings to you Qui-Gon, and your Padawan.", greet.

I then greet Ki-Adi Mundi, "Master Mundi, I did not expect to have you meet me on arrival. It is a...pleasure to meet you."

Master Mundi remains expressionless, "I can not say the same, Predator."

I shrug and turn to Master Yaddle, "Master Yaddle, the Knights were dead when I got there unfortunately. My condolences. The Pantoran had gone mad."

Master Yaddle frowns with some sadness, "It is okay, I was prepared for this. Thank you for taking the mission. The reward has been sent to you via the guild's line."

"Then I guess my presence is no longer needed here. I best get going then.", I say as I begin to turn to leave.

Master Yoda speaks, "Yes, but one day, speak, we must. Much to discuss, there is."

"Speak we will, sure, one day, soon, maybe, hmm.", I respond back in a broken sentence. 

Yoda merely smiled in amusement as I went back into my ship.

Then I left.
