Power of the Force Episode XIII: Condemned/narrative

Chapter One:Darth Luvidicous
I shielded myself with the force from an oncoming blizzard. I continued to stumble blindly in a desperate attempt to find shelter. The force was my guide and I followed it. I tripped over something metallic and fell onto the snow covered ground. I stood back up and went to see what had caused me to trip. I used the force to gentley push away snow. I saw that I had tripped over a metal rod, I tried to pick it up, but could not, it was frozen to the ground. I used the force to amplify my strength, I pulled again and quickly realized that the metal rod was a door handle. The metal door swung open, I saw stairs. I decided to leave the door open and carefully descended the stairs. The room was dark, I cursed to myself when I realized that I had left my lightsaber on the shuttle. I used the Force to make lightning shoot out of my fingers, it helped me see. A blue light was far off in the distance, I slowly walked towards it. Was this Castol Dalgota's tomb?

Chapter Two:Les Sorka
I stepped out of the Bloody Krayt with Vey to get a better look at Mirth. We had landed on Mirth's equator. I looked around and saw nothing but rocks. There were red, green, brown and even purple rocks, it was kind of pretty. I glanced over at Vey to see that she was walking towards me with soil in her hands. "This planet is strange, look at the soil." Vey let the soil pour onto the ground little by little. I noticed that the soil changed color. "That is quite common, soil can change color when go deeper into the ground...." "...Look again." Vey scooped up more soil in her hands and let it drip through her finger and onto the ground again. "It is different colors at the same layer." "That is strange. I wonder if the Vanquish fleet survived, we are still the only ones here." I said changing the subject. "I am certain that some survived." "I hope that you are right."

Chapter Three:Darth Exice
I continued to watch Adazam order around the workers, telling them what went where. If I am to take over the Sith Armada, I would need to have an apprentice... I can sense that the Force is strong in Adazam, I wonder if... Yes, he would do nicely. I thought to myself. I walked over to Adazam. "So what is the HYPER-DRIVE's status." "Fourty Percent." Adazam replied not taking his gaze off of the HYPER-DRIVE."You are a very quiet boy." "Yeah? Well, each day I spend working on this weapon, I die a little bit more on the inside."

Chapter Four:Darth Luvidicous
The blue light looked more like a person with each step that I took, each step we took. I realized that we were both approaching each other. "How are you?" I asked. "You are desecrating my tomb with your presence." I continued forward. "May I inquire as to whose tomb this is, wise spirit?" "Flattery will get you nowhere with me, I am Castol Dalgota and who are you, trespasser?" "I am no trespasser I am family, my name is Darth Luvidicous." "Are you sure?" "Yes, I know that I am your descendant." "No, are you sure that you are Darth Luvidicous? Or are you Gilbert Kensik?" I was close enough to see that the spirit was smiling. "Never refer to me by that name." "Very well my kin." "Castol Dalgota I understand that you were a Sith Lord, I have come to you for guidance." I said kneeling before the spirit. "Sith Lord? Bah, I shun that title. I turned away from the darkside shortly after the end of the Cold War." "Don't jest, it isn't funny." "I do not jest, the darkside leads to destruction, absolute betrayal. I devoted my youth to serving the Sith Emperor, I killed without question. After the Cold War concluded I left to live in peace with my wife, only to have the Remnants of the Sith Empire shoot down my ship, stranding me here on this..." "...Frozen hell?" "Yes, to put it lightly, they did not respect my choice, they branded me as a traitor, deserter and most importantly a coward. You are attempting to resurrect something that can never truely last. I understand why you are doing this, but this is not the way." "Not the way, tell me a better way then?!" "You could have helped rally the Galaxy, instead you are crushing it's spirit, you are forcing everyone under one banner, not letting them choose to fight. An army with superior numbers that has no spirit will lose to a smaller army full of spirit." "Will I be victorious?" "It depends on your interpretation of victorious." I heard the door slam shut, the door that I entered to get into the tomb. "Don't bother the door is frozen shut."

Chapter Five:Jarod Casp
"It wasn't my call Casp, I am sorry Shil has to stand trial. I did what was required of me, I informed my people and they demanded that Shil be charged with treason even though I tried to explain to them that you could tell if people lied or not. The evidence against him is heavy and only Mandalorians are allowed to participate in the trial." "This isn't right. Shil was decieved." "I know, that is why I wanted our two peoples to become one, we could have strengthened both of our systems. You said no." "Indeed."

Chapter Six:Darth Luvidicous
I gave up when I realized that I couldn't open the door with a force push. "Why would you trap me in this tomb with you?!" I yelled. "Calm down, you are being foolish, I cannot manipulate objects." "I am screwed, I left behind my lightsaber." "That was unwise, that was a mistake that could cost you your life." "Don't mock me, spirit! You haven't taught me a damn thing! I am stuck here because of you!" Castol frowned and lifted his ghostly hand. He made poking motions at me. "I am not a teacher! I am a corpse, a ghost! You have chosen to ignore every warning that I have given you, hell everything that I have told you! If you do not heed me our fates will be very simular indeed." "Leave me to my anguish." "Relax...." "Relax? I am going to rot in this tomb!" "I do not interrupt you, so don't interrupt me. This is not a tomb you fool, this was my ship. Now relax and close your eyes, I will teach you how to free yourself from this place." "Why? Why would you help me? We don't agree on anything." "Perhaps I hope that you will die a redeemed man. Now close your eyes." I closed my eyes. "Imagine lava coursing through your veins. Feel the lava's heat, feel it flowing through your arms and into your fingers. Push, release it. Extend your arm and push!" I did as Castol instructed and felt heat coursing through my fingers I opened my eyes and pushed, I watched a wave of fire sweep across the room. "Wh..Where did you learn this?" "It is a technique that not even a handful of force users could use and live to tell the tale. Should you slip up when using this force power you will die."

Chapter Seven:Jiahta
"Right, Pazi is where our base is located. We have already begun constructing more barracks for all of you. I will see all of you there." I said to all of the Vanquish Forces present. I gave a quick salute and stepped back into the Bloody Krayt. "Did things go well?" asked Savossk the Elder. "Yes, I still don't understand why you didn't talk with them." "When G'hruuk sacrificed himself so that we could escape I found myself with a question. Am I fit to lead Vanquish? A lot of lives were lost at Ord Mantell." "Yes, lives were lost during that skirmish, those lives were lost to defend the ideals that they believed in. They died because they believed in you. You owe them your best effort, don't give up, fight. To step down as leader of Vanquish would be as bad as spitting on those that died at Ord Mantell." "Thank you, Mandalorian."

Chapter Eight:Ireana Kensik
I was on Bezalta V, Tony and Brian's home planet. I had went back into space where Inferno's last reading had come from, I had managed to only find two legs and an arm. The legs and the left arm were Tony's as dna tests had confirmed it. I helped Brian carry Tony's casket toward the hole in the ground. Randy, Drex and the rest of the Guizers crew were off to the side. We carefully set the casket into the hole in the ground and covered it up. Everyone saluted.

Chapter Nine:Jarod Casp
I stood outside of the debriefing room, Shil's trial was being held inside. I could catch bits of what was being said, but not enough to make any sense. I could sense hate, fear, hope, and anger behind those closed doors. I sensed someone was coming and opened my eyes. I saw Jiahta walking quickly. "How are things?" he asked. I quickly brought him up to speed. "They'll kill him!" Jiahta said as he opened the doors and strode in.

Chapter Ten:Jiahta
I saw Gavril was acting as judge, I could see that Pirel currently had the floor. Everyone turned their heads towards me. "Jiahta, do you have a reason for interrupting this trial?" asked Gavril. "I do, I am retracting my report of the mission to Ord Mantell." "Very well, due to the mission report being retracted the death penalty is no longer in question. Do you have anything else to contribute to the trial?" "No." "Very well. Since Shil has already been declared guilty of treason and since we cannot execute him without having a mission report... Shil you are hereby stripped of all honors and are exiled. You have twenty four galactic standard hours to pack your things and to be out of Mandalorian territory, otherwise you will be executed."
