PoF Episode 1: Aftermath

"Aftermath" is the first episode in the Power of the Force series.

Chapter One:Jarod Casp
I stood still staring at the communications screen. "Any sign of Adazam?" "Negative, but I have found part of the Battle Gear." "He was shot down?!" "Casp, should we list him as M.I.A.?" "I..I... no call off the search, I will list him as K.I.A." "But, I haven't found any evidence of his demise." "Les, the odds of Adazam being alive are nihl, I don't want people wasting their time chasing after a dead Jedi." "As you wish."

Chapter Two:Ireana Kensik
"I can read your mind Ireana, you are afraid of me, but your fear is unfounded." "You hit me!" "I didn't strike you, Adazam implanted that memory into your mind, it never happened." "I don't believe you!" "Your mind was destroyed when you were found, why wouldn't a boy that is so strong in the force be able to place false images into your mind?" "Why would he do such a thing, you are a liar!" "He wanted you to leave your family behind, to turn you to his cause." "No, he didn't!" "Why would I strike you?" "because you were angry, why would Adazam strike me?!" "Because you shot down his Battle Gear and then took him prisoner." "He said that he loved me..." "He lied, he wanted you to free him when you had the chance." "It all makes sense now." "I am glad that you have seen reason, come and see me after you have regained your composure." "Y.Yes... thank you master."

Chapter Three:Darth Scandurous
"I have things to take care of, your excellency." I said to Legrange. "Very well, don't let me tie you down." I broke into a sprint after I exited the building. The shuttle that my master had summoned had arrived. I was to meet him on Laud, the planet that served as the base of the Sith Armada.

Chapter Four:Red Mask
I docked the "Century Eagle" with the colossal Star Destroyer Maximum. The commander of the pirate group, Callus, was awaiting me. The commander was wearing a black cloak. I looked at the other seven bounty hunters; Alva Trevais, Spawn, IA-10, Zio Javil, Zaf and Tombre, and Savossk. Alva Travaus was standing still, watching the commander. Alva had one gloved hand on his blaster holster and he was standing up straight. I then looked at Mithar'spawn'adendu, the Chiss was wearing an Empire-Era set of Stormtrooper armor, I saw a grappling hook built into his right gauntlet, he also had a blaster pistol in his holster. IA-10 was an Assassian Droid, the droid had a wide array of weapons strapped to it's body, there were grenades strapped to it as well. I had no idea if Zio Javil was a humanoid that had a terrible accident or a droid, Zio wore a cape, I knew that there was an assorted collection of lightsabers inside. Zaf and Tombre, the two were a dangerous pair, they worked as one, a perfect example of woman and machine. Tombre was a protocol droid that was equiped with hidden weapons and was capable of piloting a ship. Zaf was a female cyborg, I had shot Zaf down when we were after the same bounty, she was nearly killed. Savossk was a Trandoshan that was ripped, Savossk had once grabbed a speeder and stopped his prey from moving an inch. Savossk was easy to fool. I turned my attention back to the commander. "I have called you all here today to carryout an operation,the Jedi have a device called the Battle Gear, I want it brought here." I suddenly realized that he was no commander.

Chapter Five:Darth Scandurous
"You called, my master?" "Yes, I feel that being away from Laud would do Ireana some good, I want her as far away from Adazam as possible." I couldn't contain myself, my mouth opened a little. "How long do you want her to be away?" "Two months." "I shall tell her the news then." "Not only that but you shall go with her." "As you will." I walked to Ireana's quarters and knocked, I watched as the door opened. "Our master has ordered me to take you away from here."

Chapter Six:Darth Scandurous
I turned to Ireana,"Anywhere in particular that you want to go?" "I don't know, how about Anaxis?" "You want to visit the crash site don't you?" "Mm-hmm." "That was such a long time ago." "I have known you for years and yet there is one question that eats away at me Scan." "What is it?" "What is your name?" I got out of my seat and pretended to plot a jump for Anaxis. "I am Darth Scandurous, that is who I have been for as long as I can remember, there is no more to tell." I immediatly thought back to my earliest memory. I was six years old and I was on Cawdor. I was running from "Clean", they had seen me push away a security gaurd with the force. I accidently bumped into a man in black robes as I ran, I and "Clean" was unaware that the man was following us by jumping from rooftop to rooftop. I suddenly reached a dead end and I realized that my Force powers were exhausted. Just as a member raised his blaster and was aiming at me, the man in black jumped off the roof and landed in front of me. I watched in awe as he deflected blaster bolts with his lightsaber blade, he then impaled the shooter with his lightsaber. The rest were finished off in a flash and the hooded figure held out his hand, I quickly took it. "I see" replied Ireana. "We are near Anaxis." Lightning could be seen from space. "I'm preparing the shuttle for atmospheric entry, hang on!"

Chapter Seven:Ireana Kensik
A strong blast of lightning struck the ship's stabilizers. "Firefek, we are going to crash!" cursed Scan. "The planet, it's terrain is so different from the last time." "Indeed it is, I sense a disturbance in the Force." "I do too." "We are going to hit that mountain hard, get in the cargo bay in the back of the ship!" I made my way to the back of the ship and into a cargo container in the cargo bay. The ship hit hard, I felt the ship shake around me. The container quickly fell apart as it slid out of the ships wreckage, I saw that I was falling. The mountain was tearing apart. I watched as I landed on the ground, back first. I felt my breath leaving me. Before I lost consciousness I saw the tip of the crumbling mountain raise into the air, it was getting ready to enter space, I quickly realized that it was a ship.

Chapter Eight:Darth Scandurous
I held on with all of my might to the outside edge of the mountain's tip, it had been my saving grace, I had grabbed it as I had plummeted from the shuttle. I took out my lightsaber and ignited it, I was going to carve places for my feet all the way down the mountain. As I stuck my blade into the "mountain" it made a high pitched squel. I saw the base of the mountain crumbling apart. I realized that it was a ship and its engines had made the squelling noise. I kept carving in the side until there was a circle big enough for my body to fit through. I vaulted in. I made my way further in, I was surrounded by some sort of goo, it looked like the red goo was what held the ship together.

Chapter Nine:Jarod Casp
"Mat'ril how much progress have you made?" "About as much as a Mynock eats." "That bad huh?" "Yeah, I am afraid that I need some Caricos wires." "I'll have some smugglers bring us some." "Right, I forgot to mention that Jiahta is looking for you." "Did he say what he wanted?" "No, sir."

Chapter Ten:Darth Scandurous
As I progressed further on I was devastated by a sudden and sharp spike in the Force. The pain was unbearable. I watched as I was approached by something that was contained in a suit. I could feel the ship that I was in jump to hyperspace.
