Returning the Galaxy to Black & White: The End of the Gr
((OOC: This thread will detail the end of the Grey Jedi. If your character isn't an active Grey or an active Sith, then please don't post.))
BIC:
Standing on the bridge of a stolen Acclamator-class assault vessel, Recrus looked at the landscape of Korriban. The decrepit vessel was small by modern standards, and easily out gunned. However, that wasn't the purpose of it today.
Behind him, the Dark Lord of the Sith heard the usual hum of the crew, busily at work. They were much quieter than your average crew, a result of Recrus having worked so hard to enslave them to his will. The dark side was powerful, and crushing free spirit with it was easy. Recrus had forced each being to face their worst fears until their wills broke. Then, he'd recreated them as the perfect crew.
"Let my armies the beasts of the land." The Dark Lord spoke quietly as he stretched out with the force, using the power granted him by Dathka Graush's amulet and sword to extend his reach. Everywhere, he felt the creatures of this world. The creatures of the dark-side.
Bestial minds gave futile resistance, trying to deny Recrus his wish. They would have stopped Walker, but that part of him was long dead. The Dark Lord crushed the resistance he faced and forced all the beasts he could find, terentateks, hssiss, and many more, to obey his will.
Within minutes, there was a steady stream of creatures entering into the newly modified and reinforced hangar bays. Sweat shone on the Dark Lord's face from the effort it took to maintain his control on these creatures. They were fierce and independent, and their instincts were to destroy each other, not live together for any amount of time.
Recrus knelt in the center of the command bridge. It was here, ever so carefully, that he had etched sith runes, and placed the proper crystals to enhance his connection with the darkside, to keep him focused. The load on him seemed to lessen, and Recrus smiled.
Years ago, he had told Tanya he would purge the galaxy, saving the Grey Jedi for last. Now that the connection between them had been truly severed, he was ready to begin the purge, starting with the order Walker had worked so hard to build. This would be the key to his victory, a surprise attack, rooted in obvious deceit.
When the hangars were full, with every creature that Recrus could influence, he smiled, and signaled for the hangar doors to close. His army numbered nearly one thousand. Tiny when compared to others in number, but great in the strength of the creatures it carried.
"Commander, set our course for Geonosis. Alert Razi Khan and Naltor that I wish to speak with them before we arrive. There is still much to prepare for."
Naltor
On border his Master newly acquired ship Naltor thought it is time for war it is time to raise up and destroy our enemy, for this is what I wanted this is what I have been training for. Standing in an open storage room Naltor look over at Razi Khan and said ‘you know that you are lucky to see the birth of my master dream for if it was me you mite be dead.’’ ‘‘yea and den how would you find my clan answer me that,’’ said Khan. Well Khan I wouldn’t care I would find someone else but that is nether here or now let us be ready for when my master needs us.’’
Naltor move to the other side of the room and sit in the corner and stared to meditate when he since the ship commander about to come over the pa system , “Razi Khan , Naltor Lord Recrus wish to speak with the both of you on the bridge. ”
It is time to go Khan my master wants us now get in front of me I still don’t trust you and I want to be able to crush you if you try something. Khan and Naltor made their way to the bridge, there they found the Dark lord standing with in a set of runes and crystals, Naltor came up to his master shrine and knelt. Then said,
What is thy biding my master.
Lord Zorrix
Within the currents of the force Zorrix could feel every life form on Geonosis. The droid factories were producing a thousand droids a day fueling the Grey Jedi growing army. This should have brought him at ease but it didn’t. He didn’t like preparing for battle on this scale but it was a direct order from before she left to investigate. She had confined in him that Walker now Recrus dark lord of the Sith would come and attack them. There was no doubt in Zorrix’s mind that he would attack them.
The grey Jedi was a constant reminder of Walker and all the good he brought to the galaxy. Although Walker was no long alive, Recrus would be a fool to let any part of him to live. And because Walker trained Zorrix and Chimi and was married to Tanya all the keys of his past were here on Geonosis. No doubt in that but there was only one thing that troubled him. Was Tanya truly ready to face Recrus who wore the face of her dead husband. Would she be able to fight him, kill him? In the Grey lord’s mind no. she had too many emotions connected to Recrus past. So it would fall to Zorrix to fight his former master and friend. But he knows that it wouldn’t be an easy fight. He knows that just as he has trained himself since his former master disappearance, Recrus has done the same thing. Building up his force and consolidating his power. The dark lord will bring the full power of the dark-side down on their heads. Were they truly ready for this? They had to be, if they were going to survive then they had to be.
Reaching out with the force, he called Chimi. “Chimi meet me at the Planetary Shield control room. There is something we must talk about. Hurry there is no time to waste.” He said though the force as he made his way to the planetary shield control.
Chimikaru
Chimi awoke to a beautiful day. She had it all planned out, she was going to spend about an hour or two meditating. Then she was going to go to the stadium and practice her fighting skills and powers. Then she was going to eat and read one of her favorite books. Then she was going to meditate again for another hour, then finally go outside for one last look at the beautiful sky, then back in for some sleep. She was so excited.
It had been a while since everything had happened, what with her former master turning sith lord and all.
As she was about to meditate, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her from the force, it was Lord Zorrix. He told her to meet him at the Planetary Shield control room and the message had sounded very urgent because he wanted to talk and he said that there was "no time to waste." So she got up from her meditation stance and put her uniform on and made haste to the control room.
She raced through the hallways making sure that she didn't hit anybody, just to see what was so urgent. She slowed down when she realized that she had gotten closer to the room. Once she got to the door she knocked on the door to be polite and then came in when he was aware of her presence and asked her to come in. She shut the door behind her and stood right in front of Lord Zorrix with the utmost respect, wondering what it was that he needed to tell her.
Lady Tanya
Tanya stood sullenly at her quarters window, staring into the red desert. All around her was the activity of the Grey's in their enclave but that mattered not to Tanya. Today was the day. She could feel it in her bones. Today was the day she came face to face with her old husband. She wondered why and when. There was a little uncertainy to her thoughts though. Walker or Recrus as he was known now said that he would purge the Grey's last but she felt something different.
Chiding herself for such thoughts as to why Walker would come today as he promised that he would rid the Greys last. She moved to her doorway and caught a whisper in the force of Zorrix calling upon the young Chimi. Chimi had been Walkers old padawan and since he had turned no one had taken up the offer to train her. But kind Zorrix took her under his wing and raised her and taought her in the ways of the Grey.
Stepping out of her quarters she moved on towards her meeting chambers as she had a meeting with the council of miners.
Lord Walker
"Soon, we go to battle. " Recrus spoke from his meditation. His voice was quiet, a bare whisper, yet it carried an undeniable sense of power and control. It was as if he was a god, using his power to manipulate the fates of mortals as he saw fit. "This will be a battle, and not a war. Once the conflict begins, it must end in this fight. I will not chase the Grey Jedi across the galaxy. They will be destroyed through this first encounter."
The Dark Lord opened his eyes, and focused the sulfuric yellow orbs on the two beings in front of him. "It is for this that I have trained you. Naltor, you will lead my army on the ground. You will be at the forefront, leading these creatures. Use what I have taught you well, and destroy anything that stands in your path. Yours is not a subtle mission, but one that demands brutal efficiency. I am sure that I can count on you for this. Until we arrive, you will wait near the hangar bays. Focus on the coming fight, and remain prepared."
Recrus closed his eyes, dismissing the massive herglic. He'd chosen his field commander well, for he had yet to meet a more physically powerful, intimidating, and noticeable being than Naltor.
The Dark Lord turned his attention to Razi Khan. The centuries old being that had once been a powerful Seyuugi Dervish was now a devoted follower of the sith. It had taken time, and effort, but Recrus had convinced him of the nobility behind the sith cause.
"Razi Khan, your mission will be of utmost importance. The Grey jedi are a crystal snake, one capable of stopping my plans if they are not eliminated. Just like with a snake, you must remove the head. As a master dark-side assassin, you will use your skills to lure Tanya to me. Force her into combat against me. Then, when she is distracted, kill her."
A wave of his hand dismissed the assassin, and Recrus returned to his meditation. His plans had been made, and the pieces set in motion. Now, all he had to do was wait for his ship to arrive in orbit above Geonosis. Soon, Recrus thought grimly, we will end this.
Naltor
Yes my master Naltor stood up leaving him with khan, on the to the hanger bays Naltor started to think “this will end to quickly I must do all that my master wants me to do I will destroy all that get in my way I must become one with the beast if I am going to do this the beasts are a great weapons of mass destruction they will destroy all and any thing that gets in their path, this beast have no reasoning , no compaction and no mercy for anything not even their common being if not for my masters power over them they would all but kill each other then try us on for size and they will do that if I cant get them to follow me as they do my master.” I know what I must do know Naltor said as if waking from a dream.
Naltor right out side the door ways in the hanger bays , Noltor could hear the beast of the plant they had just left., he could hear their grows and their howls Hum this is were I well meditate I will focus on the fight that is before me and these great beast how we will annihilate our enemy. Yes beast I can hear you and I know how it fells to be caged, I know how you want to tear out of this walls, but now is not the time we must wait our time well come and we will make all those that have cause to be put in this cage pay for this we will not hold back, we will not fear pain, cause pain is what feed our strength what feeds our will, what well make us unstoppable. Now let us focus on the fight we have a enemies to destroy
Lord Zorrix
“Hello Chimi it does my heart good to see that you are doing well. I fear the news I’m about to tell you may hurt you. There is also a chose you must make that will determine you future.” He said as he turned to face the young cadet. He watched her for a couple of minute letting his warning sink in.
“Will she be able to do this?” he said to himself. She was Walker student just as he was but she was emotional attached to his old friend. He fears that she may not me able to fight her former master in the battle to come.
So Zorrix put it upon himself to protect her the best way he could maybe he could get her off the planet if the battle turned for the worst. He was not about to let her die for this order as he planed to if needed.
“Recurs is coming to Geonosis to wipe out the Grey Jedi Order. There will be deadly battle and many will die here. By the time he is done I fear that this world will become more of a barren waste land then what it already it. I plan on meeting him some where on this planet and fight him. The shroud of the dark-side keeps me from see the out come of this battle but I fear that Tanya and I will die on this world. There are no other options both Tanya and myself. But even if we had a chose it wouldn’t change for neither of us. You however have a choice young one. If you want you can escape from Geonosis and continue to live out your life. This doesn’t have to be the end for you dear. You can leave find you a husband have some kids and forget about what happened here. Or you can stay here and fight and possibly die here and I don’t know if I can bear that but as I said it is your chose.” He said as he looked her in the eyes.
He was being a little selfish and he knew it. He was trying to keep her out of the fight knowing she would stay to protect the young ones. To fight the Sith head-on and die along side the order. He was letting his emotions get in the way right now. He was willing to fight and kill his old master. He was will to sacrifice his own life protect the order but he was not willing to let her die. He doesn’t know when it happened or how but he grow to love her not just as a padawan or a fellow member of the Grey Jedi but as a woman.
Waiting for Chimi to give him her answer, He put in the pass code for the planetary shield ready to deactivate it when the dark lord arrived. No one was going to escape this battle. When the dust settles there will be only one force group alive here and Zorrix prayed that it won’t be Recurs.
Chimikaru
Not the message she wanted to hear. Her old master was going to come back and destroy the Grey Jedi. An order she had come to love and respect. Not only that, but the possibility of Lord Zorrix and Lady Tanya possibly being one with the force, this she could not bear to hear. She wanted to turn and run. How she wished that this was a nightmare. She slapped herself many times, but then finally came to the realization that it wasn't a dream.
What Chimi had heard was that she was going to have to either choose her former master or the order. That was a hard decision to make, but she didn't have much time to sit down and think about it for a while, she needed to decide now.
She could sense that this was hard for Lord Zorrix, even though he tried hard not to show it, she could tell that he would rather she leave and start a new life, then stay and end the only one that she has. However, this master she once knew was no longer the same man. Yes he wore his face, but the master she once knew was dead. She believed that knowing that, she could be able to fight him as if he meant nothing to her. So she finally decided.
"Wherever you and the Grey Jedi Order go Lord Zorrix, I will be there. This is my life and I am prepared to fight for it. I am not leaving without you." She could not believe she just said that last part.
"I hope he didn't take that last part the wrong way." She thought to herself.
"Yes Lord Zorrix, I will stay and fight to the death." Secretly she had hoped it wouldn't come to that. But if it did, she would rather die a fighter than a coward.
Lady Tanya
Tanya slowly made her way up and down the hallways with no particular destination in mind. Time was eating at her nerves and she just couldnt let people see her this way. She arrived at the planetary shiled room and felt Zorrix and Chimi inside.
Entering she smiled warmely and then looked at Zorrix with a pained expression upon her face only visible through her eyes.
"How are you both?" She asked looking at the various displays. She noticed that Zorrix had the shield controls primed and ready.
Lord Walker
The decrepit vessel popped out of hyperspace, and Geonosis floated before his eyes. Not that anybody could see him. During the hyperspace jump, he'd done the work to cast a force illusion, rendering the ship invisible. Even if it did appear on sensors, all anybody would see is just emptiness. No ship, no hazy cover, just the pure darkness of space.
Yet within that deceptive emptiness lay the destruction of a planet. "I want sensors running. Tanya told me they had a planetary shield, I want to know if it's active or not. I doubt they'll run it all the time; the energy drains on the enclave would be too much." This Recrus knew for a fact. All of Walker's memories were his, and Walker had worked to design the enclave. Every structural weakness was within his memories. He knew exactly what to do to cause the most damage.
"Bring us in for a landing." Recrus issued the order from the glowing circle that marked off his meditation area on the bridge. The runes glowed bright red as the Dark Lord channeled the force through them, keeping his mind focused and his will strong. He'd need all his strength for what was soon going to happen.
To anybody in the Grey Jeid enclave, the sound of a capital class vessel landing nearby would be overpowering their senses. Recrus landed scarcely a quarter mile away. Once the vessel had landed and the hangar bay opened, the Dark Lord released his hold on the illusion and sent his beasts out of the hangar.
The animals lined up in front of his ship in an almost military fashion. Recrus smiled grimly, waiting patiently for the next move to be made.
Naltor
((OOC sorry for the wait my internet is down at home and I am under the weather with an double ear infections but I will keep posting till I die.))
Naltor felt the landing of the ship it vibrated though his hold body, he could feel the hangar doors open and all of the beasts pore out on to the plant surface. Naltor braking focus got up and open the door to one of the hanger bays Naltor looked at the cold gray steel that some way keep the beast at bay he wonder how was this possible, how could some one control such beast, Naltor look out of the ship to see all the animals lined up as if the were Military trained and were waiting for there next’s command. Naltor thought this is the power of my master .
Naltor walk out onto the plant surface though the line of animals Naltor thought any other time ever animal out here would try to kill me but today they will follow me into battle, as Naltor made his way to the front of the animals he look at all of the beast there were terentateks, hssiss, and many more.
Naltor finally in front of the army of beast he look out over the plants surface look at all of the red dirt and the many pliers that jutted out of the ground and up in to the sky , Naltor could taste the red dirt in the air. Naltor thought I hate this plant dry and dieing just like all of those that get in my way here today, Naltor looked back over the beast he could scene their readiness for battle he could see in their black eyes the need to kill .
Naltor thought I now know what I must do to destroy my enemies they will not know what is coming until it is to late, but know I must wait for my master orders so I will wait here with these beasts of war for we are the destructed will of my master.
Lord Zorrix
“Tanya, it good to see you again, I see you have notice that our guest has arrived. I was just about to greet him.” He said as he made his way to the planetary control system. Only one group was going to leave this planet alive. This battle will determine the new balance of the force. With one push of a button, he activated the ray shield which encased the entire planet. “Tanya it looks like I will have to open the door to my emotions. It will allow me to be at full power. So can you and Chimi go put the temple and the droids and battle mode? Be sure to get as many of the younger member of the order out of the temple as possible use the secret passage ways. I will be there in a little bit.” He said as lowered himself in to a deep mediation.
Zorrix learned at a young age to control his baser emotion. To keep that door under lock and key, and he never thought that he would ever have to open that door. But now he had no choose open that do and release all dark emotion. As he closed his eyes, he moved into the deepest realm of his mind. He watched his entire life pass by in a flash. After about a couple of minutes, he arrived at a sinister look door. Behind this door were a vast majority of the dark thoughts and emotions that the young Falleen ever had. As he looked into the small window saw a pair of yellow eyes staring back at him.
“Well look who’s here. I thought you forgot about little old me. What bring the high and might Zorrix down here.” The yellow eyes said to him. He stared at the figure for a couple of minutes before he spoke. “You know very well what is going on here, you can feel his power even from down here. He has become powerful in a short amount of time. It will take all my power and more just to fight him. The only way I can fight him is with the dark-side of the force and my power is limited because I have controlled my emotion.” He said with cold determination. “So you would risk falling to the dark-side just to kill him. My little boy is really growing up. I have the power you need. All you have to do is open the door and release me. Release your dark-side Zorrix.” He laughed as his clawed had reached out. Wasting no time, the grey lord slowly turned the door knob.
As soon as the door was open a great and terrible shadow quickly over took him seeping into every fiber of his being. Back into the real world, a powerful force storm raged inside the small control room destroying all of the equipment around him. He was in the center of a powerful dark-side maelstrom that could be felt though out the temple and possible the surrounding area. He could feel the power of the force flowing out of him. A dark smirk touched his lip. So this is the power that lay dominate within him. It was as dark as it was terrible. Eventually the storm around him quieted down and finally ended. Zorrix still looked the same and the only noticeable changes were the fact that his left eye changed from blue to a sickly yellow and the amount of dark-side energy that from him.
Walking out of the ruined room, he spied Tanya and Chimi. “They will be here soon.” He said as he used the force to the minions of the dark-side cover the area. The droid had gather in front of the temple ready to fight. The army contained a mixture of B1’s, B2’s, B3’s and even a few Droideka, if need he could call a couple hundred more droids from the factories.
Chimikaru
Chimi did as she was told and went with Lady Tanya to go and get everyone in battle mode, making sure that the younger ones would be safe. While going through the passage ways, she kept thinking about whether or not she was as ready as she had felt when she told Lord Zorrix that she would do this. She was beginning to lose all faith in herself. When she had told Zorrix that she was going to be able to do this, she didn’t know that it was going to be happening this soon. “Am I really prepared? Could I really fight her old master if it came down to me being face to face with him?” She asked herself quietly.
Once they had gotten to the temple, Chimi looked Lady Tanya and then looked at the rest of the Grey Jedi’s. She knew that Lord Zorrix and Lady Tanya, would fight hard enough for her to not have to go head to head with her former master, and if so, she would do everything she could to fight him so that the Grey Jedi would have not have died in vain.
Once they were finished getting everyone who was going to take part in this event in battle mode and made sure the others who weren't going to be a part of it were well taken care of, Chimi told Lady Tanya that she was going to need a minute. She could tell that Lady Tanya was hesitant because there wasn't much time, but Chimi knew if she didn't take a moment to do what she needed to do, it wasn't going to go well.
After Chimi had gotten Lady Tanya's approval, she walked a little further from the group, closed her eyes, and meditated. She went back to when she was a little girl, how she was a loner and had no one but her mom to talk to. She thought about how she had to help her mom out when her mom got sick, and become Kahuna the Hutt's slave. She thought about how her life turned from bad to worse after her mom died, and she thought about how she didn't give up no matter what the circumstances were. She fought and fought and didn't give up and when she wanted to. And that was not about to change here. She was going to fight, no matter what the outcome.
Once she had regained her confidence, her faith, and trust in herself, she opened her eyes and said, "Lady Tanya, let's give them hell, and show them what the Grey Jedi is really about."
Lord Walker
Opening his eyes, Recrus smiled. Before him, spread out like the pieces on a chess board, was his grand army. Not of soldiers, or droids, but of pure darkside animal fury. He'd assembled the fiercest, deadliest, most force resistant creatures known to the galaxy, and had bent them to his will. Such was the power he wielded now. It was quite literally within his grasp to destroy a world.
But such power came at a price. Already, he could feel himself burning up from the power, his skin slowly withering as he aged. Not that this would be permanent. He would rest, enter a healing trance, and within weeks, he would be good as new. This was a price he willing paid for his powers.
Looking beyond the Grey Jedi Enclave, Recrus spotted the beginnings of a sandstorm. Not that it worried him. His battle would move forward. Today the Grey Jedi would be no more.
"I AM THE STORM!" Recrus's voice echoed through the force as he unleashed the full fury of the energy he'd been gathering. At his unseen signal, his army charged forward, each beast now having the singular intent on destroying the building and anything that got in its way.
Yet not even this quickly approaching wave of death and destruction was the most terrifying sight. For in truth, nobody but him and the other sith could see it. Recrus had unleashed an ancient sith spell: Summon Darkness.
It was a ritual that hadn't been seen in thousands of years. It literally blocked out all light, and cast an area under the darkside, so that nothing of the light would long survive. This was the Grey Jedis' greatest weakness. They weren't pure darkness, or pure light, but a combination of the two. Therefore, whatever affected either extreme would always work against them.
While they became weak, the sith would feed on the power Recrus had given them. With the added strength of his amulet and his sword, he'd cast everything within a hundred miles of the temple in complete, soul shattering darkness.
The Dark Lord laughed as he observed the battle, knowing that now, everything was set in motion for his great victory.
