Korriban Orbit

[Darth Paymon]

Paymon gave her a small grin and then took a sip of his wine before replying to her,"When I was Meditating on Korriban I felt something strong on the Core planet of Coruscant it seems there is a strong force presence there something that if the Jedi found could be a threat to us, so therefore we must find it and destroy it, and while I have no doubt that the members of the Empire could probably handle this easy of a task, they seem to have proven that they are not as dependable as I would like... Hopefully we can restore the Empire to its former state while we are there." Paymon finished his long speech and then took another sip of his wine, hearing the pilot call out that they were about to land on the NSO Flagship The Black Widow he looked over to Morrigna, "Ah, it seems we are getting closer and closer to our objective." Paymon looked over to his servant,"Bring me my weapons."he said in an orderly fashion.

[Lady Morrigna]

*Casually drinking from her glass, Morri listened to the old sith’s words. She too had felt something… interesting bubbling through the Force, but wasn’t as drawn to it as Paymon seemed to have been. She found his perspective interesting to say the least. Sitting her glass on the tray of a buzzing service droid, she straightens her jacket, and tightens her pony tail, something she had a tendency of doing when she was thinking.*

Interesting… I too felt something… but was the something not a something… more of a something with pulse…

*She says, just before he dismisses the servant to grab his belongings. Walking to the cabinet where she had stowed away her things, Morri continues speaking as she places her weapons onto her person. She knew that though they were still in hyperspace, it was only a matter of moments before they would fall into the Orbit of Coruscant… a place of mixed memories and emotions for her… a place where she had caused enough pain and destruction to feel the remnants of it fueling her connection to the darkside of the Force.*

Are we sure it is something that couldn’t be transformed into an advantage to us? Perhaps something with a beacon that strong could be a bonus if handled…. Correctly…

*As they reach the Orbit of Coruscant, Morri turns back to Paymon, who was affixing his own weapons. Her typically bright green eyes were beginning to glow a dangerous amber, a sign of her strength and connection… she gives him a nod, and they head to the bridge of the Black Widow. Upon their arrival, Paymon gives the order, and the ship pulls out of hyperspace, into the Coruscanti Orbit. A small smirk crosses Morri’s face just as her hood goes up over her head, few would have even noticed, save Paymon or some others she was well acquainted with.*

I can feel it… even stronger now…

*She softly hissed to Paymon, making her own internal decisions on what this something with a pulse might be.*

(Moving to Coruscant Orbit)

[Lady Morrigna]

*As the fleet dropped out of hyperspace into the Korriban orbit, Morri could feel the tension in the air. She could also feel the Kenobi's confidence, which reassured her that he was indeed where he wanted to be. Even though she knew that to her, it didn't matter what he had believed, she would have loved him anyway... there was no going back now... she wouldn't let anyone come between them and their future...

Standing on the bridge, her demeanor was much more business. She knew that because it was her fault that Paymon was dead, and because it was because of her that Johnathan was back on the heated terrain of Korriban, that everything that was about to happen had to be well thought out and orchestrated correctly.

Issuing the Orders for the fleet to take their normal positions, and to send word to the surface that there would be a meeting in the main hall of the Sith Temple within a couple of hours. All would be expected to attend.

Once everything was floating in Orbit, she knew it was time for her and Johnathan to face the demons that possessed this place. She had to be what she was... but more... everything was at stake.

She then looked back to Johnathan, her mind instantly drifting back to their earlier conversation... she wanted to kiss him more than ever... but... now wasn't the time... keeping her stoic attitude, but cracking a smile that only he could see, she speaks up.*

We need to take our belongings to the docking bay... we have a transport there... The hell I have come to know as home awaits us...

*Then speaking so only he could hear, continues.*

The time has come for us to fulfill our own destinies... are you ready?

*She asked. She then motioned him to follow her. It wouldn't take them long to prepare for their surface journey... but she wanted a moment to gather her thoughts before having to deal with the rush of voices that would be in Paymon's so called throne room.*

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Johnathan looked at her and smiled, now that they were in orbit and would be heading to the surface he activated his homing beacon, something they had discussed before hand, so that way everyone would know that the ship wasn't enemy.

Johnathan sighed,"If you need to finish business I'll go get our stuff and move to the docking bay,we can meet up there once your ready."he spoke, knowing she needed time to think clearly and plan what she was to do once they were planetside, even though he didn't want to leave her side, its not like he would let her do much anyways, he was too much of a gentleman."I am."he spoke to her, as he turned to face the opposite of the lookout glass, he could feel all of the dark energy from the planet below and while no one there gave him the least bit of fear, he did have fear that he might loose himself in the power and return to his once power hungry state, but maybe if he has Morrigna around to stabilize himself and maybe after all of his training and practice, he could walk the terrains as he did as a child. Strong and eager to learn.

[Lady Morrigna]

*Morri smiled at Johnathan, he was truly a chivalrous individual... so different than he had been all those years ago... but yet... just as warm, just as eager... yet now that they were near Korriban, she could feel the darkness tugging at him. For her, the darkness felt like home... it brought her more comfort and understanding than the lightside of the Force ever had... though she knew for some the exact opposite was true... it was a struggle that no matter how much she wished she could make easier on him, she couldn't... every decision for his future had to be his own... She ran a comforting hand down the length of his back.*

I would appreciate the help, love. All of my things have been repacked... it's just a matter of picking up a bag...

*She looks at the ground and then back to Johnathan, a sure sign to anyone that knew her up close and personally that she had a lot on her mind. Morri didn't have a fear of her future... she simply had never been in this position before... every move she made from this point on could potentially effect the lives of every sentient who had sworn loyalty to Paymon. She was worried about backlash towards Johnathan, towards herself... though she knew it would take little coaxing to convince most of the Sith that their anger actually went to the Jedi... that could make her job a lot easier... but would win her a fight for a reason she hadn't intended... she didn't believe in death for the sake of death.... if someone could be useful later... then why would she eliminate them right away? Ugh... her mind was spinning... she did need a moment, a moment and nice tall Corellian Whiskey... that o'sik always hit the spot...

Even though to her the break in conversation took only seconds... to her and her racing mind it felt longer... she finally spoke up to Johnathan.*

We both need to figure out how to best handle the Paymon conversation... and the rest... I can make that all fall into place...

*She kissed him lightly on the cheek.*

No worries, all will work as it should...

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Johnathan smiled and nodded,about to walk off but not without a kiss. He listens to her then replies,"Together,we can do anything."he reassured her then as she kissed him on the cheek he returned it by kissing her on her own cheek. "I know."he replied and then gave her a hug then kissed her forehead and turned to walk off,"I'll see you soon,m'love."then he went off to get their things.

His first stop was by his own quarters, and as he knew his pack was already made, so he grabbed them and placed it on his back then went to her room, grabbing her bags, placing his own his back and carrying hers with his hands, he then closed her door and started off towards the docking bay, arriving soon, he looked at the stormtrooper guard,he could tell this guard was of Paymon's elite force, dropping Morri's bag and his own on a conveyor belt he approached the guard,he could feel the man's fear as he grew close,Johnathan looked at the soldier. "Remove your helmet soldier."and the guard gave a huff and lifted his helmet over his head giving Johnathan a rude look, then replacing his helmet,then he spoke,"Why isn't Paymon with you and Lady Morrigna? Why are you even here? Why do I get a bad feeling about all of this?"the soldier asked,and Johnathan replied with the truth,after he pressed a button on his belt that was like an emp of sorts, it sent a high pitch sound out that way if anything he said was being recorded or wired it would disrupt the signal, however any electrical piece would still work, as long as it didn't give off a signal.

Johnathan finally spoke,"Your master, Darth Paymon is dead. I killed him with his own blade, now it seems that Lady Morrigna is your rightful Master."he said to the Stormtrooper. "I am here because I have left the Jedi Order, and I am now neither your friend nor your enemy..technically I am no one, but I assure you, that now that you know so much, you are..."he cut himself off his back was now turned to the soldier, and the soldier grew impatient and angry, and asked,"I'm what? I don't care what I am..you're dead..if you killed my Master then it is my duty to kill you!" the soldier grabbed his knife from his belt and jumped towards Johnathan who knew what was about to happen because this man was a weak minded fool who didn't know how to keep unwanted visitors out of his head, as Johnathan spinned to the right, making a 180 he was now facing the man, he grabbed the man by his arm and while channeling Djem So he moved towards the man,pulling the soldiers arm with him, just as he felt it snap he took the man's knife and planted it square in the break in the Storm trooper armor on the man's right shoulder, adding to the pain he had already created, then as the man backed away from him, screaming out in pain, Johnathan sighed putting his hand on his face, "Ah dammit, your too loud.." he held up his left hand, and choked the man with the force, pulling the mans throat together with the powers of the force was a dark and wicked thing to do, but hell he was on a roll. Johnathan watched as the man fell to his knees and released him, the man was begging for Johnathan to kill him, "Please..don't do this..just kill me..I've failed my master..I am too weak..please...please put me out of my misery.."begged the now one armed Stormtrooper begged so Johnathan spoke up,as he squatted down to the man,"Did your Master not teach you of Pain? Did he not teach you that a Sith never gives mercy to a man..and trust me, death is the most merciful thing anyone can do for someone.."Johnathan took the knife out of the man's shoulderpeice and found the break in the man's knee armor which was easy considering the man was on his hands in knees in a crawling position, Johnathan then stabbed the blade down deep into the man's leg, moving the blade around he heard the man scream out in pain again..so Johnathan quit his playing around before someone noticed the screaming, then as Johnathan stood and walked to the front of the man he spoke back up,"You were right to fear me..for in the darkness, I am worse than your old Master.."he went to walk off,"Oh..I almost forgot..I'm not a Sith..I'm a merciful being.."and in a solid motion his lightsaber was in his hand lit, the solid black hilt held firmly in his right hand and just as he pressed the button, the dual-phase blade came to life in a snap-hiss, but since the crystal was no longer stable it gave the blade a distorted look..though it was still very beautiful the way the blood red glowed in the low light, it was Johnathan's favorite lightsaber by choice, it was only something he used to kill with and thats exactly what he was going to do, he was going to feed his blade the blood of this Stormtrooper, and so like a golf club hitting a golf ball he completely severed the head from the Stormtrooper's body and then deactivated his saber and placed it on his belt. Knowing people would be here soon he found a footlocker and shoved the body and severed head into the locker and then pressed to lock down, giving a slight grin he laughed to himself,there was blood all over the floor, but that..was an easy fix..Johnathan grabbed his pack and found the correct bottle, and he poured a bit on his hands and wiped his hands clean then he took another bottle and when he opened it the smell of chemicals filled the air, and so he continued to pour just a little onto the blood stained floors and then stood back and watched the chemical completely eat up the stain, Johnathan had no name for his creation other than Oxi-Clean, because it used the power of oxygen and cleaned everything because he has the Power.

[Lady Morrigna]

*As Johnathan walked away, Morri forced herself to clear him from her mind for a moment. She needed to get her military head on... she was now for all intents and purposes commander of the Spider Fleet, and Master to countless of minions whom had been brainwashed by Paymon. She knew how to be her Sithly self, she knew how to think ruthlessly and how to plot and plan... those all came naturally... now she had to figure out this whole military thing... something she had avoided her entire life. Though she knew there would be trusted advisers offering her advice whether she wanted it or not... she also knew that she had only one person she truly trusted... and it wasn't the dead guy in Coruscant... Staring out the viewport of the Bridge, Morri glances to the Captain.*

Prepare your troops... war is on the horizon... and I promise you... it won't be pretty.

*She said sternly, the Captain giving a nod of agreement and approval.*

Yes Morrigna, training will begin immediately... are we to prepare for a mostly aerial or ground strike?

*He asked, causing Morri to give him a Skirata's signature smirk.*

Both...

*She said simply, then headed towards the hangar. The Captain couldn't help but to chuckle, he knew better than to ask that question... she was a Sith after all... a Sith who's veins coursed through with a blend of Mandalorian blood... she was born for this... whether she knew it or not... but soon enough she would find out. As she reached the doors to seal the Bridge, the Captain called out to her again.*

Master Morrigna? Where's our previous Master?

*He asked, assuming that Paymon had died, else he would of been on board with them. Morri simply smiled.*

Let's just say he chose to dance with the Devil, and the Devil won...

*She says, being as obscure as possible, the last thing she needed was the gossip mill running rampant... the Captain shook his head. Sith or not... she was certainly still a woman... a confusing assed woman. Morri laughed, she knew the Captain well enough to know what he was likely thinking... giving a wink, she went to meet Johnathan in the hangar.

The walk to the hangar took a bit, as it required traversing the length of the jet black flagship... the thing had might as well of been a floating city... she had time to think and plan... she had ideas of what she wanted to orchestrate... but knew she would likely have to wing a lot of it... she didn't want to work in possibilities... only absolutes... at least in the case of the pending war...

Her thoughts then trailed to Johnathan... something in the Force ebbed her to move more quickly... but then to slow down... she knew he was alright... but someone else wasn't... he certainly was reaching back into his dark roots quicker than she'd expected... but she knew he wasn't like his uncle... not yet at least...

As Morri makes the final turn into the hangar, she catches the tail end of Johnathan stuffing a body into a footlocker... she kept quiet, and simply observed... she liked that he wasn't afraid of death... but yet understood the value of life... somehow the taint of darkness suited him...

Once the mess had been cleaned, and she was sure no one else was there to disturb, she brushed her Force aura against Johnathan's and spoke up.*

Looks like I've got one guy I can count on for ground combat...

*She teased... somehow feeding off the feeling of loss in the Force from the death or the Stormtrooper... a deserving death always brought that faint amber glow around the edges of her green eyes... it was something she could have fought... but for the moment... the energy was giving her a subtle high... and she planned to enjoy it.*

[Johnathan Kenobi]

Johnathan smiled back at her, "Johnathan Kenobi, former blade master of the Jedi Order and the Saber Arts Academy, reporting for duty ma'am."he saluted her, giving her a wink."I also might have done alot of extra physical training while I was away."he gave a laugh,"I'll tell you everything once we get to Korriban and take care of the task at hand."he smiled and then looks away from her watching as the Super Star Destroyer started to pivot to be in a defensive postition should the need arise, Johnathan deactivated his emp and looked back to Morrigna, "Shall we?" he pointed to the transport shuttle,"I'll drive."he winked and proceeded to walk up the ramp onto the shuttle, finding his way into the pilot's chair, waiting for Morri to take her seat, and as she does he gets a grin and slowly lowers and turns the ship around so it is facing the exit and then he pushes the throttle all the way to max, "Lets see what this big tank can do."he said as the shuttle buckled down and launched them out of the hangar, heading straight down to the surface, looking out of the window he saw that they were flanked by 4 TIE Phantoms, Johnathan simply nodded in approval, pushing the ship towards the NSO Temple's Hangar Bay.

[Sacrifice]

*Sac's ship drops out of hyperspace and orbits the planet. Sac watched the system below. Sac had no intentions on going down there but as far as he was concerned he was just waiting for the ship computer to do an update. He could have done this in Hyperspace but he just simply wanted to look at the stars and not go mad.*

[Sacrifice]

*Sac opens himself to the force then feel a familiar presence..* Why would he be here? *Sac looks out of the cockpit at the enemy ships that have not noticed him Sac expanses his presence in the force carefully then directs it down low*

[Sacrifice]

*The ships computer beeps and Sac then launches his ship into Hyperspace for Ossus*
