Chapter 43: The Price for Immortality  

Preparations Arc, Part 8: *Zap Zap*

Jinx: "No!"

Adrian: "Yes!"

Jinx: "NO!"

Adrian: "YES!"

Jinx: "NOOO!"

Adrian: "YE-"

Jinx: "Say another word, and so help me I will cut up as many things as I can before you are able to restrain me."

Adrian: "…fine…only because I know you would do it and I don't want to waste my time making everything again, even though it'd take me around an hour. I don't know why you are so insistent on not wanting to come?"

Jinx: "That place is vile! I will not go near it, nor set foot on it! And you aren't taking the Icarus with you! You will have to take the dropship and that's the END OF IT!!!"

The air around us quaked as she released a Force infused shout, before storming off and out of the room to continue training and teaching Ani and Soka.

She had made it quite clear that the two kids, by still frozen family, Shmi and the others will not accompany me to the surface of the world I am going to.

Yes, is till hadn't released my current life's family from their sleep in carbonite.

I….just couldn't face them.

I was still…

…

I don't know what I am feeling?

I think I am just anxious and nervous to face them after all this time, to tell them that I am their son and that I brainwashed them into forgetting about me and that they cannot return to their normal lives on Mandalore, but must live on Xixis from now on for their own security and safety.

I decided to make my way to the dropship and I grabbed a certain map, and took it with me.

Once I was in my dropship, I connected the map with four tethers and I proceeded through Hyperspace into the Unknown Regions.

Once I was out of Hyperspace, I could see a large cloud of red mist blocking my path forward. I entered the mist and everything was going fine until a large tentacle tried to wrap around my ship. I activated my ship's disintegration shockwave feature, and the tentacle was almost completely erased from existence.

I had the dropship go on auto pilot while I loaded a special bullet in my Whisperer of the Worm sniper rifle, and made my way to the airlock. I tethered myself to a capble as the ship moved through the red mist.

Orpheleon: [WARNING! UNKNOWN ELEMENT! ARMOUR COMPROMISED! EXPOSED TO 2% OF UNKNOWN ELEMENT!]

I heard the safety net of my armour activate and seal of any gaps in it.

I knew what the mist was, and while it was harmeful, to me, unless it was at 50% then I would be fine below it.

I waited until I saw a limb of the creature and fired as soon as I had an opening.

I re-entered my dropship, uncaring of what would happen to it, as I knew it would die in less than 20 seconds…maybe 80 because of its size.

What I had just fired at, was a large one-eyed tentacle space creature that was many kilometres large in size alone. It was a creature that Vader had encountered and Mind Controlled, but Sidious had then killed it when he tried to flex on his master "I am no longer your apprentice".

It died so easily to me, because what I had coated on the bullet, was a Jarrin Root poison, and if any Dragonborn fanboys know what a Jarrin Root is, you will know you can only obtain one of them in the entire game (Skyrim).

When made into a poison, it can kill practically anything living in a matter of seconds, yes, even the Ebony Warrior will die in less than a few seconds.

…

I had then landed shortly after my encounter with the creature in the red mist.

The planet was covered in nothing but constant thunderstorms and the sound of continuous thunder and lighting, striking the surface of the abandoned world.

I only know of a single living entity at present that yet lives on this world.

Where am I?

I had used the Sith Wayfinder to travel to the very world I now stand upon, Exegol.

…

I moved cautiously, I had Redemption in my Right, and my entire left arm covered with my Omni-Tool in its default form, as a glowing orange hologram surrounded it constantly.

I travelled and travelled for days, literal days.

I had not stopped, I had not slept, nor ate, nor drank.

I was completely focused on my objective.

Until I finally located it, a large stone wall that had multiple engravings just like the Sith Temple on Moraband.

It depicted many Sith Lords renowned throughout history. But some where missing, like Darth Sanguis and Darth Noctyss. But Revan, Scion and the other older Sith were here though.

*Twang*

I had fallen forward and collided with the rock wall, as I had been attacked from the rear, what surprised me was that I can feel pain.

When I checked my HUD for my condition and vitals, I was shocked that I had been injured, but luckily my Armour had protected me.

I didn't think that I would be injured, let alone an attack that had bypassed my Spidey-Sense.

Many of my electronics and features of my tech had not been working since I got to Exegol.

I turned around to see my attacker, but they had vanished.

I slowly readied myself and for the first time, I had to rely on solely my Human senses to react to this threat.

I scanned my surroundings, used my knowledge of battle tactics and strategy to determine where this enemy would attack from next based on them having already strike my back.

…

…

…

???: "WhY ArE YoU HeRE?! HoW ARe YOU heRE?!"

It had attacked my and I swung my Omni-Tool directly at it, upon impact a large electrical pulse had exploded on the enemy, I could hear it's horrific and demonic screeching as it howled in pain.

I tried shooting a freezing shot from Redemption, but it had missed and they escaped once more into the darkness of the surroundings.

Thunder and Lighting would continue to strike all around us as if making the boundary for our battle arena

Adrian: "Show yourself Monster! Show yourself so I can make you suffer for all eternity!"

*Demonic Screeching/Howling*

As expected, I had baited the creature that I know had a very unstable mental state into attacking me with my easy provocation.

I grabbed it by the neck with my Omni-Tool arm, and shot its limbs with my Redemption, encasing them in Ice temporarily.

I stared at the monstrosity and I looked on it with disgust. Not of its appearance that was like a blue skinned, hunchbacked, blinded, Clicker-Zombie from the "Last of Us" video game.

But I looked at it with disgust because of what it was, who it was.

Adrian: "Darth Noctyss, apprentice to Darth Sanguis. Look at what has become of you."

I reached down to take a sample of its blood to later place into the Animus and to analyse in my lab.

I could barely understand what it said with its weird raspy voice, so I had my audio feed play it back after recording it.

Noctyss: "How do you know of me?! Answer me!!!"

I continued to ignore it, when I was done, I turned to leave which caused it to become more frantic and screamed louder.

Noctyss: "WAIT! WHERE ARE YOU GOING!!!"

Adrian: "I am leaving you to your fate. I told you I would make you suffer for eternity, didn't I? You master Darth Sanguis was the lucky one to have you put him out of his misery of this cursed Immortal life you now live. You wanted the secret of Immortality from him, and now you pay the Price for Immortality. Now suffer it's consequences. Enjoy your Eternity Darth Noctyss. For I will ensure that not a single soul will venture to this world to kill you. You will live like this…forever…"

Noctyss: "NooooOOOO YYYYYyyyyyooOOuuu MMMMmmmMmMmmuuuSSstt KiiiiiLllLLL MmmmeEEeE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I heard its demonic screams as I called my dropship with my Sat-Com and left Exegol, as I saw the now free Noctyss trying to use her blue Force Lighting on my dropship.

Adrian: "Suffer monster. If you want freedom from Eternity, then take your own life. For no one will grant it to you."

I knew that she couldn't hear me, but I said it nonetheless. She will suffer for her crimes.

And so it was, that the Banite Sith Lord that was the first individual to create the technique of Force Lighting, would live her unending life on a desolate, abandoned and forgotten world until the end of time.
