『Into the Foundry II』

Revan looked upward towards the asteroids which were still being funneled into the station.

That's when there was the sound of a lightsaber burning into the blast doors.

The Jedi Master ignited his lightsaber, as did Vaylin, and soon after Ento finished the next few inputs and commands... So did he, activating his blade out from his side.

Revan glanced over his shoulder towards the boy's weapon, seeing the frost which emitted from the weapon made him curious. Though he also saw Vaylin's weapon that looked as if it was on fire. These weapons, they were heavily customized and their focusing crystals rare.

"Quite the interesting selection..." Revan spoke under his mask as he turned to face forward once more. The Sith Lord seemed to have survived, and he could sense them on the other side.

With a flick of his wrist, the door opened and the Sith Lord puzzled took a step forward onto the bridge, his lightsaber activated in his hand. "Hmm?" The Sith Lord was wearing armor, with a helmet that likely had a breathing apparatus built into it. "Three Jedi? I only sense two of you..." Their gaze moved to the former Sith Lord.

"That HK unit you destroyed... He waited loyally for three hundred years. I can rebuild him, but it won't be the same." Revan shifted in his stance with his deep purple colored lightsaber. "Can't you see that you're on the wrong side? The Emperor is death to you, to me, to the Galaxy!"

"Listen to yourself! If you use the foundry to exterminate billions, how are you any better?" The Sith Lord seemed to be talking with a conscience, which surprised Ento the most, they weren't all twisted and corrupt it seemed.

Revan turned his head and looked to the boy that was standing beside him now. He had hardly felt him move from where he once was.

The Jedi Master then returned the gaze to the Sith, "The plan has changed. The Republic... The Sith Empire, they will not have control of the Foundry. All of this death and destruction is meaningless, if it cannot even reach your Emperor. Now, Surrender Sith, or perish where you stand!"

Raising their head slightly, the Sith Lord deactivated his own red lightsaber as they gazed up to the fleet overhead. "Not all Sith are tempted by the darkside of the force, I offered to work beside you, rather than against you... But you denied me, claiming you've been betrayed one too many times."

"It is in the nature of the Sith to betray one another, that is why the Sith Empire will not last." Ento uttered in a confident tone of voice, his eyes narrowed on the Sith.

Pointing to Ento, the Sith shook his head. "Your arrogance will be your undoing, Youngling. You do not know what it means to be Sith."

"Nwûl tash. Dzwol shâsotkun. Shâsotjontû châtsatul nu tyûk...." Ento narrowed his eyes on the Sith Lord as he recited the Sith Doctrine in the Language of the Sith themselves, "Tyûkjontû châtsatul nu midwan. Midwanjontû châtsatul nu asha. Ashajontû kotswinot itsu nuyak. Wonoksh Qyâsik nun."

Revan and the Sith Lord both looked at Ento as he spoke the words fluidly.

Vaylin, didn't see anything special about it, other than being a language she didn't understand.

As there was air in the room and the station depressurized the moment those doors opened for him. The Sith removed the mask piece of his helmet, revealing red skin and sharp tendril features on his chin, cheek and jawline. A pureblood Sith, with glowing yellow eyes, stared through the boy. "The three of you will die here..."

That was when the Sith Lord activated his lightsaber once more.

Ento clicked his tongue on the back of his teeth, "Waste of words..."

"Don't get too full of yourself, young one." Revan lunged forward, his weapon at the ready at an Ataru opening stance. It was clear what kind of fighting style he was going to use.

Ento moved one hand behind his back, taking a Makashi stance.

Vaylin on the other hand, extended her force pike, holding it in front of her ready to fight from a distance. The two followed behind Revan, close behind.

The Sith Lord deflected Revan's first battery of attacks, only for Ento to kick him in the side. As he turned to go towards the boy, he found himself thrown across the platform by a force push.

Landing on his side, the Sith Lord sat up and looked toward the young girl dressed in an identical outfit as Ento. "...Strange," he narrowed his gaze on the girl. However he quickly threw himself back onto his feet, diving backward to avoid Revan's attempt to impale him with a jumping attack.

Landing on his feet, the Sith's gaze moved towards Ento's stance. It looked as if he was emulating a Master duelist. His gaze then moved towards Vaylin, ready to prod him with her pike. "An Ataru, a Makashi and a lightsaber pike user?... An unforeseen combination..."

"Surrender Sith! This is your last chance!" Revan tightened his grip around his weapon.

"Never..." The Sith dove toward the Jedi Master, moving low as he did so, to strike up at the man. He came exceedingly close to it too, but it wasn't to be.

Revan had however took several steps back, unleashing a wave of lightning.

Moving to raise his hand in his own defense, the Sith felt a pressure holding him in place. "What!?" His eyes moved towards Ento and the Girl, both of them were holding him still. Even if he distracted one, the other would keep up the hold. "Release me!"

"The Sith have failed in their mission to acquire the Foundry." Revan spoke up he continued to release lightning on the captured Sith who struggled to break free. However thanks to the two teens and their abnormal strength in the force, the Sith continued to fail.

"This is your last chance to surrender!" Ento added with a shout of spite.

Growling lowly, the Sith could feel his consciousness slipping, and as could those around him.

Pain, the thought of failure, the overwhelming hatred for the Jedi... Even though he was fueling himself with the emotions and passions of a Sith, it granted him very little power. It just wasn't enough compared to what was holding him.

"I will never surrender to the Jedi! Your clarity is a lie! The Sith will prevail, with or without the Foundry, you will all perish! The Emperor will slaughter you all..." He focused his gaze on Ento, dropping his lightsaber as it deactivated on his own. "Arrogance will be your undoing."

Shaking his head as the Sith continued to tell him that he would be his own undoing. It wasn't as if he was declining that it may, arrogance and ignorance were the cause of death for many. Why would it be any different to him one day?

"Hm... It won't, not today at least."

The pure-blooded sith dropped to his knees clumsily as he was released, before falling to the side, unconscious. Shortly thereafter, a construction drone came hovering into the room, its arm reaching down and grabbing the sith and dragging them off the platform.

"What are you doing with him...?" Revan looked assumingly to the boy, the droids seemed to be following voiceless commands.

"Escape Pod, obviously..." Ento shrugged and looked to the Jedi Master, as both he and Vaylin deactivated their weapons. "So... Still with us?"

"I will help you hide the Foundry, then you will do as you offered." The Jedi Master remained with his mask intact as he spoke of his friend, the Jedi Exile. Even though the force told him that the boy was telling the truth, he had no reason trust him.

Ento nodded to the man, "I will need your help with that as well... Master Revan. I am currently stuck here due to my current lack of control. It feels as if the force is throwing me around like a wet Rodian noodle."

"Rodian?" Vaylin cocked her head to the side.

"Wet... Rodian Noodle...?" Revan squinted at the boy, he wasn't quite sure whether or not this was the best time to even bother laughing.

This man shook his head after a few seconds of silence, Ento just staring at him in the process without clarifying. "Studying the Chain Worlds Theorem... Will be hard, it's considered a mythical plane within the Force, however... The power of the Sith Emperor can be considered metaphorically on the same level, I should know."

"Is that so..." Ento had a strange feeling about the word Sith Emperor. He had just met another Emperor not too long ago whom seemed far more than just exceptionally powerful in the force.

Revan narrowed his gaze on the boy's face, seeing him ponder in thought. His gaze then moved towards the girl, who seemed to be thinking similarly to Ento.

At the same time, Revan was beginning to feel a similar presence within the girl, as if she was related to the Sith Entity in some way. "Hm... Heir to the Dragon..." He'd utter mutedly under his mask.
