	Continued from: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=20678719 Episode IX: Awakening of the Force Anders awoke with a start. He didn’t know where he was. “Rest easy young one. You’ve had quite the day.” Anders looked up towards the voice and saw Master Ralls standing over him. “M-m-master Ralls? What are you…where are we?” “We’re on Tatooine Anders. Socal brought you down to see me after he landed because you didn’t awaken. If I didn’t know better, I would have sworn you were in a jedi healing trance,” Ralls said with a slight hint of questioning. Anders sat up and wished he hadn’t. “Well, it didn’t work if that’s what it was…” Anders looked up to guage his surroundings. He was in some kind of hut, with little decoration, but a definite lived in feel. He couldn’t really take in much more, because the flap on the door burst open and Socal came in and embraced Anders, lifting him off his feet. “Good to see you back kid!” “Socal,” Ralls started, “It might be better if you leave him on the cot.” Socal dropped Anders back down and nodded. “You’re right. Sorry. Just excited. I mean he owes me a lot of ale!” Ralls smirked, “Of course he does.” Anders smiled weakly. “You’ll get them all and more as I get better.” He turned to Ralls. “So why Tatooine? I haven’t been to this hellhole since Holdess found me.” Ralls smiled. “Has it been that long? I actually like it here. There’s a lot of solitude. Anyways, I finally got a piece of information from 3PO that just might be important.” “What was that?” Anders looked past Ralls and saw 3PO just watching. “Remember the story of Luke Skywalker and his son?” Ralls asked. “You mean Luke’s death? Yeah.” “Well, it turns out that Ben turned to the dark side after an experiment gone awry. He was studying the ability to siphon the Force off of users and into his own body. This was going to be a new effective way to strip dark side users of the Force. But he never got far enough for it to be effective. He had tried it on a few dark jedi who Luke had captured. Luke had been wary because it seemed almost unnatural and too much of the Dark side, but Ben had a way of convincing his father. It is unknown exactly what happened, but we do know what happened in the long run.” “You think it’s related to Odium and what he’s doing?” Anders asked rubbing his aching head. “I don’t know, but he appears stronger, and the Jedi can’t touch the Force anymore. I thought it was a good place to start,” Ralls said motioning to the outside. Anders slowly stood and joined Ralls as they walked outside the hut. And saw the gaping abyss below him. “What is this?!” Anders asked in shock. Ralls looked sadly at the young Jedi, “This is what’s left of Mos Eisley.” “Master, it seems like they have stopped on Tatooine. Should we attack?” Jeeson asked. “Tatooine?” Odium stopped and thought hard. “Master?” Jeeson dared. “No. Don’t attack. Not yet. I’m curious as to what they are doing. Ready the Probe droids.” “Yes sir,” Jeeson answered and rushed to his task. Odium turned and walked out the door. Linz was working out with the training droids. Using the dark side, it was an easy task. Taking out her frustrations on the piling heaps of metal, Linz stopped suddenly and let the crackling in her fingers come to a halt. “I have to leave,” she whispered. “I gotta get back to him.” Anders. He haunted her mind ever since she tried to kill him. She wanted nothing more to be in his arms, and yet he had tried to slice them off. She told him, she couldn’t live without the Force, so she had to give Odium her loyalty. And she had been loyal. Looking towards the sky she let out a gutteral scream that shook with raw emotion, lightning flashed from her hands, hitting the broken down droids, the walls, everything in sight. She collapsed in the center of the room, until she felt him. Darth Odium approaching. She gathered herself and wiped the tears from her eyes. He walked in slowly and forced her to a knee. “Good. You have done well in your training. I believe you are ready for your first test.” “Yes master.” “But first I must give you your Sith name. From this day forward you shall be known as Darth Relian. Rise.” She rose, looking at him intently. “Thank you master.” “Come closer and learn of your mission.” Darth Relian came in closer, hating every second, and thinking of everything but Odium…but she came closer nonetheless. Her time was soon. -----signature----- AoE http://phatooine.net/forums/index.php http://secondviews.com

	Ch 2. “Master Ralls…what happened here?” Anders asked looking around at what once was a bustling spaceport city. “Darth Odium happened. I believe he tried to destroy the very evidence we came here to find,” he answered, “But I’m not sure his followers completed the job.” “What evidence do you hope to find.” “Anders, outside Mos Eisley is where the final battle took place between the Skywalkers. “Luke died here?” “Killed by his son, yes.” Anders was stunned by how much this was seeming to affect him. He felt a chill in the air and found it difficult to breath. “So what’s the plan, Master Ralls,” he asked. “Well, we’re gonna send Listan and Ginta to the places the memoires should be strongest. I would like you and I to head to a place a little bit further outside the borders of Mos Eisley. We must wary of the Tusken Raiders though. Threepio?” Threepio looked around and hurriedly walked over to Ralls. “Yes, Master Ralls?” “You shall come with us on our expedition to the hut.” “But Jabba the Hutt was killed over a millennia ago and I don’t know of any other Hutt to take ownership of Tatooine.” “Not that kind of hutt. The hut you told me about involving Luke and his master?” “Master?” Anders questioned. “Yes, an Obi-wan Kenobi,” Ralls stated matter-of-factly. “Obi-wan Kenobi,” Anders stated with some reverance. “Well, let’s go check it out!” Listan and Ginta both attempted to go as deep into the abyss as it would let them. There was a definite dark energy here that was forboding. It made it difficult to persevere. But they were Jedi. Persevering in the face of darkness was their speciality. Ginta flicked her head back trying to keep her long flowing black hair from getting caught in a crevasse. She had lost her hair tie about 2 miles ago. She looked over at her companion who seemingly was enjoying himself. “Do you like climbing down miles of blasted away rock?” “Yes, doesn’t everyone?” he asked and Ginta couldn’t even tell if he were kidding. “Ha ha,” she said. They finally arrived at the bottom and Ginta jumped the rest of the way and relaxed against the rock. “I know I’m a Jedi, and all that jazz but whew…That’s tiring.” “You just need a little more stamina, there girl,” Listan said with a smirk on his face. “Listen buddy, “ she started when Listan’s eyes glazed over. “What is it?” Listan looked around. “Can you feel it? The death emanating? The Dark side thrives here. I feel cold.” Ginta let her gaze wander and she too was hit by a blast of cold air. “I don’t like this, Listan.” “No, Let’s do what we need to and get out of here.” Socal was watching out for any incoming traffic, but he had drifted to tinkering his ship when the beep came. Running up to his monitors, he shook his head as he glanced what had caused the beep. He grabbed his comlink. “Master Ralls?” The crackling voice came out almost immediately. “Yes, Socal?” “We have an incoming starfighter, is the kid there?” “No he insisted on scouting for Tuskens, knowing the terrain, why?” Ralls answered . “I’m not sure he’s ready for this,” Socal said diplomatically. “Why Soc? Is it friendly or unfriendly?” he asked pointedly. “That’s the problem Ralls. I don’t know,” Socal answered truthfully. There was a pause on the other side for a moment. “Thanks Soc. I’ll be up in a moment.” “Sure thing.” Soc signed off and went back to his radar screens. “You better talk a good game, Linz..” -----signature----- AoE http://phatooine.net/forums/index.php http://secondviews.com

	Ch 3. The two Jedi looked around, touching broken objects, now unrecognizable in this whirlwind of a junkyard. “This is terrible. What an awful waste of life,” Listan mumbled. “Yeah,” was all Ginta could think of replying. She reached out looking for a point of darkness to focus her attention. Then they both heard a noise. Snapping their attention behind them, they turned to see a few shapes running towards them quickly. They both took out their sabers and tried to ignite them but the shapes connected and knocked them off their feet. The darkness enveloped them as they fell into the black. Anders saw Ralls waving him back, and he sighed. Anders was getting better every moment. He didn’t need Ralls trying to baby him. Climbing down from the dune, and putting his macrobinoculars away he walked back up to Ralls. “Yes, Master?” “Anders. I need you to remain calm.” “What, master?” he asked growing a little impatient with the old man. “A ship is landing that bears the markings of Linz’s,” Ralls said looking deeply into Anders face. “What do you think?” Anders looked beyond Ralls to the landing pads. Looking up he saw the ship making its approach. “I don’t know, master. I mean, things didn’t go so well, but she did seem conflicted still. She wants the Force so badly, but she doesn’t like what she’s doing. I feel there is hope for her yet, but I admittedly am not the best one to judge that…” “Given your feelings for her?” Ralls suggested. “Yes,” Anders said looking down. “She’s been through so much.” “As have we all,” snapped Ralls. “There is no excuse for giving into temptation.” Ralls paused and softened. “But what we need to know now, is whether to flee or to welcome her back. I think we should flee. Darth Odium himself could be on that ship!” “No. We stay,” Anders said calmly. “Any particular reason?” Ralls asked intently. Anders turned to look in his eyes. “The best reason of all. Love.” Darth Relian took a deep breath and landed her cruiser on the pad. She reached out with the Force and found them all feeling tense and nervous, but ultimately strong. Then she found him. Linz smiled and jumped out of the cockpit. She needed to see him. The ramp descended and she slowly made her way out. Anders stood in front of her. Her gaze quickly went to his hand, which was already refitted with a replacement. A tear rolled down her cheek. “I-I-I don’t know…” Anders looked up and smiled. “Shhhh. I know.” Linz looked up in shocked happiness. She jumped on Anders and hugged him. Looking over his shoulder, Linz saw Ralls walking up. Disentangling herself from Anders, she met Ralls with a very saddened expression. “I have no excuse, Master. I gave into the despair of never touching the Force again. I know you are doing your best…I ..I’m sorry.” Ralls managed a small smile. “We all have moments of weakness, some larger than others. It is how we overcome these weaknesses that matters, and if you have, than you are always welcome to rejoin us. In fact perhaps you can help us. Do you know what this is?” he pointed to the abyss. “Yes. I…looked at some of Odium’s experiments and this was listed as one of them. This whole area, is full of the Darkside, ever since…” “Since the Skywalker Clan’s incident, yes we know,” Ralls interrupted. “Why does Odium care about it?” “I don’t know the details, but it involved taking advantage of the tangible dark side presence we can feel,” she said. “How did you know we were here?” Ralls snapped suddenly as if trying to throw her off balance. Linz turned surprised at the question. She hesitated. “I put a tracker on Anders during our fight.” “So you expected him to escape?” Ralls asked a little more anger in his voice. “I was hoping he would. I felt wrong about everything but couldn’t control my anger and frustration.” “Thus he lost his hand,” Ralls sneered. “When Odium came into the room, I had to make it convincing or Odium would have killed us both. You don’t know him. He’s more powerful than Master Holdess ever was. I don’t know how we’re going to stop him in truth.” Ralls relented and walked away. “You have a long way to work back to get in his good graces again, Linz,” Anders said slowly. “Funny, you’re the one whose hand I cut off,” Linz looked dejected. “Well, I had another one.” Anders deadpanned. Linz looked up and smiled at him. “I can’t believe you’d joke about that. I never wanted to hurt you. You must believe that,” she pleaded. “I do.” He grabbed her around the waist with his artificial hand and kissed her hard on the lips. The twin suns seemed to entangle as they went down over the horizon. -----signature----- AoE http://phatooine.net/forums/index.php http://secondviews.com

	Ch 4. Listan awoke first, opened his eyes and tried to focus on where he was. He felt a tight constriction around his wrists. He couldn’t move them. He looked to see how he was bound and saw… Nothing. There was nothing hold his wrists up against this cold rock wall, but nonetheless he was chained. “Ginta?” he called out softly at once trying to contact his friend, but avoid letting the shapes know he was awake. They knew. The dark shapes were flying around and about, next to him, over him, under him and seemingly through him. The dark side energy they gave off was so tangible, it was like a giant garotte, cutting off the air and energy like he was suffocating. He glimpsed the hanging form of Ginta nearby. She was still breathing. That was a good sign. Reaching out in the Force, he attempted to steady her and reassure her. Bad idea. The shapes reacted to his using the healing arts in the Force. They shrieked and went faster and faster in circles. “Ok, let’s not do that again.” Now they knew what Ralls and Anders were going through. The dark shapes parted and walking through the part, was a tall dark man. It looked like a shape that was just yet more fully formed than the others. Listan attempted to look strong, but his fear was starting to creep up. The leader opened his mouth and a whispering gravel came out. “Who are you…” it began “My name is Listan,” the Jedi countered. “That is unimportant,” the shape interrupted. “You are Jedi?” Ginta looked up into its eyes. “Yes,” she whispered before lowering her head again. “Let her go,” Listan ordered. “You have no idea, who or what I am do you?” the shape laughed. “Wake!” Anders sat up like a shot, scaring Linz who was lying next to him. “Anders?” she asked groggily. Anders looked around but saw nothing in the darkness. “I heard something,” he trailed off. Getting up, he pulled his clothes on, and walked outside in the night sky. Linz soon followed him and he felt her cool hands on his shoulder. “You should get some sleep. Ralls will be slave driving us tomorrow to get to that hut,” she suggested. “Yeah. I’m worried about Listan and Ginta. They’ve been gone awhile.” Linz looked worried for a moment, but let it pass. “Ralls said they took enough supplies for a few days. Who knows how far down this crevasse goes?” she tried. “Yeah. Why don’t you go back to sleep yourself. I won’t be long.” “Ok,” she whispered, kissing his neck. “I’ll keep it warm for you.” He smiled and turned away. The voice had returned. It comes and goes, and he could never get a straight answer out of it. He wasn’t even sure why he trusted it…but something inside told him to. He walked over to the edge of the abyss and looked over. “May the Force be with you two.” Darth Odium looked at his holoscreen. Tatooine. Could they know? Is it even important anymore? He knew she would run back to them. Whether as Melinza or as Darth Relian. Either way, she will serve her purpose. Let them survive Tatooine. Then he would finish the job he started all those years ago. He kneeled and took the power of the dark side within him and filled himself. Soon. -----signature----- AoE http://phatooine.net/forums/index.php http://secondviews.com

	Ch. 5 Anders didn’t return to bed. He walked up to Ralls’ tent and saw Threepio standing outside it. “Threepio?” he began “Yes Master Anders?” replied the golden droid. “Any word from Listan or Ginta?” Anders asked with hope “No sir.” “Is Ralls sleeping?” he asked. “I’m right here, Anders” Ralls said as he appeared from the shadows. “I can’t sleep either. Would you like to head for the hut now?” “What about the sand people?” “There are none in the area anymore. Something has frightened them away,” Ralls began, “I was hoping to check this out alone.” Anders looked up, “Don’t trust Linz?’ Ralls met his gaze. “No. Not yet I don’t. I hope I’m wrong.” Anders looked like he was going to say something, and then thought better of it. “Let’s go,” he said instead. “Threepio, tell Linz where we are when she wakes. Tell her to wait for us.” “Of course masters. Here is your map.” Ralls and Anders began their journey of discovery towards an old Jedi’s home. ~~ Linz woke up a few hours later to an empty bedroll. “Anders?” She called for him a few more times before walking outside to see the dawn breaking over the land. Seeing the droid standing by Ralls’ tent, she walked over. “Droid….where is Anders?” “They went ahead Mistress Linz. They said to wait here for them,” he answered. “Damn him,” she whispered. Was she damning him for leaving without her? Or for giving her the opportunity part of her didn’t want. She didn’t know. “Thanks droid.” “You’re welcome, Mistress,” Threepio chirped happily. Linz slowly walked back to her tent. A tear rolled down her cheek as she entered and sat on the floor. She grabbed her bag, and released a secret pouch. Her holocommunicator spilled out. She looked at it for quite awhile, struggling with herself. The dark side won. She turned it on. “Come in?” she nearly whispered. The large shape of Darth Odium filled the tent. “Darth Relian. How good to see you. Is all well?” “All is well. Anders and Ralls have left to look at an old Jedi’s hut. The two Jedi sent down to the abyss have not returned.,” she answered. “You will take this opportunity to go into the abyss. You will see what the Jedi found and if necessary you will kill the Jedi.” “I am afraid of what’s in the abyss master!” “More afraid than you are of me?” Odium asked his voice rising. “No!” she said quickly. “I’ll go.” “Good,” Odium stated, “Go! Linz steadied herself, got some equipment, checked her lightsaber and began the long trek downwards. ~~ Listan’s hands fell to his side and he crumbled to the floor. Looking over, he saw the same thing had happened to Ginta. The next thing he knew he was standing in front of Ginta with his lightsaber in his hand! Then his arm was swinging his ignited saber towards Ginta! “STOP THIS! Ginta! I can’t control it!” Ginta was fighting back but one look in her face told Listan that she had no control over her body either. They were the puppets in some sick performance dancing for some sick master. Their blades lit up the night sky as they danced and crashed against each other. Listan could see Ginta crying, and Listan tried to comfort her. “Trust in the Force, Ginta. Trust in the Force.” The shape retaliated at that, by coming right up into Listan’s face. “Fool! I AM the Force.” Everything halted and the two jedi collapsed into a crumpled heap and sweat. “I used to be Jedi until I discovered more!” “You discovered the Dark side,” shouted Listan. “NO! There is no dark side. There is no light side, there is only the Force and your choices!” “Who are you?” Ginta cried. “I once was a great Jedi knight.” He stopped and swirled the dark side around him like he was twirling a baton. Suddenly he stopped and turned towards Listan.’ “I once had a name. It is meaningless now,” it said. Listan managed a sneer, “Oh? Are you Darth something or other now.” The shape was deadly still. “No. Sith are beneath me. Names are beneath me. I am a god.” Ginta looked up, “Who were you?” The shape looked down at the Jedi before falling into some kind of reminiscence. “My name was… Ben Skywalker.” -----signature----- AoE http://phatooine.net/forums/index.php http://secondviews.com

	Ch 6. Linz began the long trek hours ago. She looked down and still saw nothing. She hated heights. She hated Odium for making her do this. She hated Ralls for taking the Jedi here in the first place. She hated Listan and Ginta for being incompetent. She hated Socal for his drinking problem She hated Threepio just because. She hated Anders… No she didn’t. Shaking it off, she moved down more quickly. Hoping to hit bottom soon. ~~ Listan and Ginta looked aghast. “Ben Skywalker,” Ginta managed to say. “He’s been dead for over a millennium!” The shape turned to her. “Not quite. Almost. Sometimes, I think I’d be better off,” he trailed off before grinning. “My uncle thought so.” “And what about your father?” Listan spat. “My father did nothing. He could do nothing. The greatest Jedi the universe had ever seen? I crushed him like a bug. He was nothing. Now my grandfather. He was a warrior!” Ben reveled in the sound. “I should have been named after my grandfather, not my weak cousin.” “How have you stayed alive?” Ginta asked. “It’s a long process. But let me just show you the main point of interest.” Ben lifted his hand and pointed at Ginta. A black bolt of lighting came out and hit her square in the chest. Ginta breathed in suddenly and collapsed. It was that simple and that frightening. Listan watched in silent misery as the light in her body came and flowed into the black heart of Skywalker. Ginta was dead. Skywalker took the energy in and fed off it. It was a rush like none other. He smiled a dark smile. ~~ Anders and Ralls came upon the broken down hut which despite all probabilities was still standing. “How is it possible this remains?” Anders asked. “The Force is very mysterious, young one,” was all Ralls could think to say. Coming up to the door, there wasn’t anything to keep them from entering. “Do you feel anything Master Ralls?” he asked. “No, do you?” Ralls answered with his same question. “I don’t know. It may be just normal intuition, but I have a good feeling about this place,” Anders began. The door suddenly slammed open. “I could be wrong,” he quipped. A man appeared just as suddenly in the doorway. He was a tall, somewhat pale man. He had long flowing brown hair, tied in a top knot, and brown stubble on his cheeks. His piercing blue eyes had somewhat of a smirk in them. He wore a long brown robe and under his robe was the shape of a lightsaber. “Come in, you two, let’s get you out of the sun.” Ralls and Anders looked at each other before following the man. The man pointed at a portion of the clay wall that jutted out to form a bench. Anders looked pointedly but the man didn’t speak a word more. After a moment, Anders blurted out, “Are you Obi-wan Kenobi?” The man laughed. “Obi-wan Kenobi. That’s a name I’ve not heard in a long long time.” Ralls looked at him with suspicion before the man turned back to Anders. “No. I am not he. I knew him though. A good man,” he said before sitting back. “No. I am a friend to you though…Ralls, and to you….An…Anders?” he said with questioningly. “Yes. It’s Anders. But how can we be friends if we don’t know your name?” “Oh, my name is simple.” Ralls, looked at him intently. “Alright. My name is Raist. Raist Lanan.” ~~ -----signature----- AoE http://phatooine.net/forums/index.php http://secondviews.com

	Ch 7 Ralls’ mouth dropped open. “Lanan? THE Raist Lanan?” he stammered. “I don’t believe there is another. Although with as big as the galaxy has gotten, I can’t say that for sure,” Raist said with a smile. “But…according to 3po…I mean…you must be…” Ralls tried to find the words as Raist enjoyed watching him work. “A gentleman never tells his age…but then I’ve never been a true gentleman. Let’s just say, I’ve been around the block a few times.” Anders finally closed his mouth to think. “How are you still alive?” Ralls asked. “I don’t know. It’s just the way I was built I guess,” said the old jedi. Anders looked at his master and decided to interject. “Why are you here, now?” he asked. “That is the more important question you should be asking. Good young jedi. That directness will serve you well,” Raist paused before starting to look serious. “I’m here because there has been a danger to the Force. A danger that requires intervention.” The two visitors looked blankly at the old man. “I assume that you have no connection to the Force due to the intervention of Darth Odium?” Anders looked at Ralls before replying, “Yeah that’s right.” “Well I’m here to help you regain that connection.” Anders looked mad for a moment, “If you’re some sort of uber-jedi, than why weren’t you at the ceremony? Where have you been for the past two years? What were you waiting for?” Raist held his hand up. “Respect young one. I don’t answer to the Jedi Council. In fact, I rarely had dealings with them. If this wasn’t such a dire circumstance, I wouldn’t be here now.” “How exactly can you help us, Master?” asked Ralls. “Simply. You were never truly disconnected.” ~~ Melinza reached the ground and studied here whereabouts. There was nothing but stones and dirt as far as she could see with the exception of a pathway in between two large walls of rock, where light could be seen spilling through. Adjusting her lightsaber to a level where she could get it quickly she began to journey into the unknown. She stopped almost before she began. Through the Force she could feel a great deal of power coming through the opening. Dark energies. She felt temptation surging thorough her. Even Odium hadn’t this much power coursing through his body! She crawled up behind a rock, and looked out. She saw what was once a man now all wrapped up in energy. She also saw Listan, looking scared out of his mind. Then she saw Ginta, dead on the floor. This was going to be interesting to watch. ~~ Listan fell to the ground and crawled over towards Ginta’s body where he covered her. He wept openly as Ben watched him with interest. “Did you love her?” Ben asked. Listan looked up. “Go to hell.” “Good. I like dark side energies. More powerful than light side. Give into your anger.” All of a sudden Listan’s lightsaber flew back at him. Listan grabbed it but did nothing with it. Ben suddenly called Ginta’s lightsaber to himself and turned on the green blade…and let it float, ignited, in front of him. “Take your revenge. I killed her too easily,” he growled. Listan looked up, tears flowing and shook his head, before looking back down. Ben looked none-too-happy. “You should at least bring up your defenses!” he cried swinging the saber at the kneeling jedi. With great reactions Listan turned on his blue saber and deflected the blow. Listan gave in to his saber fighting skills and tried to control his emotions as he felt himself sliding towards despair and anger. Ben on the other hand looked bored as he weaved the green blade back and forth. Ben started advancing onto Listan forcing him back further and further until he was nearly standing over Ginta. Ben looked at Listan’s eyes. “Good. Good. Now you are worthy of being struck down!” He raised his hands and knocked Listan’s saber away, before lifting Listan totally off the ground. Listan stayed in the air and couldn’t focus as Ben began siphoning his life from him. Melinza watched with eyes open wide. She didn’t know what or who to believe in anymore. ~~ -----signature----- AoE http://phatooine.net/forums/index.php http://secondviews.com

	Ch 8. “What do you mean?” Ralls asked. “Did Odium also block your ears?” You are, right now, still connected with the Force,” Raist said leaning back. “But how is that possible, Master Lanan? I can not feel anything in the Force.” Anders started. Raist thought for a second. “My only charge was to tell you this piece of information. But think. What do you know of Odium before his turn to the Sith?” Ralls looked up, “Well he was a Jedi named Vanin, quite a bit ago. He never really fit in. He didn’t want to meditiate. He never cared much for battle. He merely wanted to study how the Force worked. He fancied himself a scientist.” “Exactly,” Raist nodded. “You should think very hard on that.” “On what?” Anders asked seemingly frustrated. Raist smiled. “Think about what you know…or think you know on the Force. Now c’mon. No more idle chatter. I have the feeling you have a visitor to meet soon. Let us make our way back to your camp,” ~~ “Good work,” Odium spoke into the comm. “Jeeson!” The sniveling man came running to his dark lord’s side. “Yes, your grace?” “Set course for Tatooine. The time has come for complete annihilation of the Jedi and whatever they think they’ve found.” “Yes sir,” Jeeson squeaked before running to fulfill his master’s request. ~~ “Come here young Melinza,” Ben called out to behind the rocks. “I know you are here. You’re aura is as distinct as a fingerprint to me.” Melinza found herself walking forward, almost unwillingly. “How do you even know me?” Ben smiled. “I have the Force. I know all.” Melinza kneeled before Ben in awe of his power. “Rise. I have no time or need for your displays of respect. I need something.” “What could you possibly need from me, Lord?” Ben glanced up at the word. “Melinza, I am a powerful being. But I am not whole. Perhaps you have some of my story?” Melinza nodded for Odium had warned her of this possibility. “When my family sought to destroy me, they didn’t realize how powerful I had become. I had be siphoning the very life, the very force from dark jedi for years. I was at once in complete touch with the Force. When the explosion of my father’s droid did destroy my temple, and the bodies of my father and mother, I would not let it destroy me. My physical shell was nothing at that point. I refused to let my spirit go reunite with the Force because I wasn’t finished. I controlled the Force to let me stay, but I have remained on this rock because I can not leave! I have no physical body to leave this place. Unfortunately I need the body of a great Jedi who already has an extremely strong connection with the Force else the power I possess would destroy it.” “What can I do?” “I have felt through the Force, of your master’s dark plan. I applaud it because it worked. Although it was risky and foolish. But I understand why he was here before. He has used my studies to gather the Force to himself and make himself stronger. That’s the body I need!” “Odium?” “Yes. Odium. You will bring him to me. Then I will make you my apprentice.” Melinza didn’t know what to say. “Go. Bring him to me. It is the only way you can escape his…advances.” Linz nodded slowly, afraid to refuse. She turned and walked away. “If you don’t bring him to me. I shall know. And I shall keep you all bound to this world like a giant magnet. You will never escape.” Linz didn’t even doubt that he could do as he claimed. She merely began the long climb to the surface. She needed to see her master. -----signature----- AoE http://phatooine.net/forums/index.php http://secondviews.com

	HA! I knew Ben was going to want to kick some Odium butt on his way to the rest of the Galaxy. So what's a girl to do, little dark Linz is going to have to play the big boy's off each other. Party on!
