Sith Civil War: Chapter V - The Betrayer Betrayed

Tarna's alarms wailed as a small cruiser appeared out of Hyperspace. A transmission appeared on his screen. A human in an officer's suit started, "Unidentified ship, power dow-" The officer was cut off as Tarna shut off all communications. Don't wanna hear it, bud, he laughed to himself. He set the powerful top guns to fire at the cruiser, while his other small turrets were still picking off starfighters. He increased the shields as he went into a dive, destroying a starfighter as the corvette's shields ripped through it.

As Tarna ripped threw one of the starfighters Adenn quickly wipped around, two cruise missles following him. "Ahh. Hell." He said in his native tounge as he rerouted all shields to forward shielding, and flying twords the cruiser. He then quickly pulled up as he was now less then two feet away from the hull of this ship, letting the two missles slam into its side. "Tarna! How many are there?" He said forgetting formalities as he was in the heat of battle.

The shuttle rose and flew out of the hanger bay into space. Barad-Dur watched the stars appear all around, and suddenly he felt something wrong. There was a disturbance in the Force.

He looked at the SSD and watched in horror as the ship at once fired upon the smaller ISD, and the Vader at once began to pull out as fast as possible. But, it was already spewing fires.

"Cease fire!" Dawes' voice came over the comm syetm, "I demand you cease fire immediatly."

"Now young captain, you will die," Ben Skywalkers' voice came on mockingly.

The Vader exploded in a firey cloud of debris.

High Inquisitor Gra'tua had turned to watch in horror as the ISD was destroyed. His anger grew as he heard the last screams of his old Comrades upon the ISD Vader. He turned to Barad-dur and nodded as their shuttle entered the SSD's Hanger."Barad-dur, it is time to exact revenge." A cold exlaimation escaped his throat as he pulled his saber from his belt, awaiting the shuttle doors to open as they landed.

"We must not reveal what we are until we know what all we are up against," Barad-Dur said, grabbing Gra'tua's hand to keep it from pulling out his handle, "We don't know how many Jedi they have on that thing, or how many shipmen they have on there. We must exert caution until we know what we have."

The ship landed, and the little ramp dropped. Barad-Dur stood and nodding to his fellow sith, walked down the ramp into the hanger, where 20 Jedi were standing at attention.

"Welcome, General Harmon," one of them said, a Master by the looks of it, "To the first united Jedi-Sith ship in the entire galaxy. I am Master Kovar."

Barad-Dur raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by 'united'?"

Kovar frowned. "I thought it would have been obvious by the words themselves. We have every Sith and Jedi of the True Galactic Republic on here."

"Isn't that a little dangerous?" Barad-Dur asked him.

"Not as dangerous to you as to these other people," Kovar said, eyeing the other Sith, "Who are they?"

"True and loyal men," Barad-Dur replied, smiling at the irony of the words, "Take us to your masters."

Kovar looked doubtfully to the others, then nodded. "Follow me then," then he turned and walked to a turbolift.

We shall wait until we kill their leaders, Barad-Dur sent the thought to all the Sith, ''Then, we'll turn the security systems on the rest. Those that aren't killed, well, there won't be enough to stop us from killing them.''

Malice walked slowly behind Barad-Dur and the Jedi leading him. He could feel his blood boiling as he passed the formation of Jedi to his right. It took every bit of his power to resist igniting his saber and cutting them down one by one. This would be a day to remember.

Two Jedi stepped out from beside the turbolift, detaching their lightsabers menacingly. Master Kovar held up his hands and both Jedi threw them glares as they attached thier lightsabers. The turbolift opened and they entered the elevator.

The turbolift buckled as it rose forward. Kovar wasn't looking at them, but looking away. "You know, I don't think the Vader quiet knew what it was getting into," he said.

"I am quiet sure my men didn't even see it coming," Barad-Dur said, gritting his teeth, "So, why did you kill them?"

"I am sure Master Skywalker had a good reason," Kovar shrugged, "He gives the orders."

"I'll take care of him," Barad-Dur said, "I have a point to make with him."

Barad-Dur hoped that the others understood what he meant. He would be the one to kill Ben Skywalker, the others could kill whom ever they wanted. The turbolift bucked as it stopped.

"Alright, this is the command bridge," Kovar smiled, "If you gentlemen will follow me, we will meet with the Masters."

"By all means," Barad-Dur said, "Lead the way.
