Power of the Force Episode XVIII: Completion/narrative

Chapter One:Adazam Vigrem
Sith Guards led me to Darth Exice whom was located on the bridge of Maximum. I carefully held the helmet in my hands. "Leave us." he spoke in an authoritative tone. "You should be able to breath underwater and survive the vaccuum of space as long as you wear this." I said as I passed him the helmet. I watched as he studied it and then slid it on his head. "This is impressive, you have done well. The construction on the HYPER-DRIVE is finished; I thought you should know." "I want nothing further to do with that abomination." "Tell me Adazam, have you ever heard of Marka Ragnos?" "No." "I have found something that Darth Luvidicous wished for you to have, I care not for mundane relics of the past or else these gauntlets would be mine." I grabbed the gauntlets. "Where did these come from?" "Korriban, those gauntlets used to belong to Marka Ragnos; Ragnos was a powerful Sith Lord many ages ago. I found lots of references to Ragnos in Luvidicous' quarters, I also found an old datapad that referred to a cult that worships Ragnos... Luvidicous was a part of this cult or so it seems."

Chapter Two:Jarod Casp
"Are you ready,Jiahta?" I asked. "Yes, let's get him." I reached over and sent a coded message over all allied frequencies. "All forces present, convene on Laud. I want landing forces touching down on the planet within the hour. May the force be with us all."

Chapter Three:Commander Tivesh
"Multiple Jedi and Mandalorian warships are rapidly appoaching the planet!" came a scream from one of the many uniformed men monitering all activity in the Olcar System. "Scramble all fighters and warships! Send out a call request for reinforcements! Someone prepare a shuttle to take escort me to my ship!" I ordered. I was quickly guided by four Callus troops to a shuttle. I ran from the shuttle onto Atonement. I made my way to the bridge and plopped myself down in the command chair. "We must defend Laud at all costs!"

Chapter Four:Jiahta Fett
"There it is." "Careful, this could be a trap, Jiahta." "Hold on to something, we're going in full throttle!" I steadily manuevered the Bloody Krayt through the thick laser fire that was being discharged by both sides of the conflict. Star Destroyers and an array of other ships that had been long outdated zoomed by. I quickly noticed the Century Eagle soaring towards me. I flew as steadily as I could as Casp opened fire, always missing his mark. The Century Eagle danced in space as it avoided laser fire and began to unleash hell on the Bloody Krayt's shields. "Shields are critical, get out of here." I said to Casp. "In what?" "The Republic, it's weapons systems are offline because I was planning on upgrading them. What shitty timing." "Lets go!" "If I were to attempt to flee I might as well be dancing on the graves of all who have and all who will die in this war. You must go Casp, the Jedi, Mandalorians and Vanquish need you. No, the Galaxy needs you. Now go I am going to drag down that son ova mire to the grave." "Goodbye, Jiahta." "Win the war." I read that the Republic had launched, I kept a straight course toward the Century Eagle. I could see in the Century Eagle for a nanosecond before crashing into it, I smiled under my helmet.

Chapter Five:Dremska Fett
"Frak!" The Bloody Krayt crashed right through the front of the Century Eagle. The impact dislodged the chair I was in from the floor and sent me to the back wall. I could see inside of the Bloody Krayt, its front was gone and a blast threw Jiahta and his chair to the Bloody Krayt's back wall. Both ships tremored and a blast from inside the Century Eagle blew me into the Bloody Krayt, I smashed into its back wall and into a console. I heard a beep and a shield activated to stabilize the gravity aboard the ship.

Chapter Six:Ireana Kensik
I awoke to Brian's voice coming through the Guizer's intercom. "All hands report to your battle stations, we are entering the Olcar System." I lept out of bed and sprinted to the bridge. "Whats going on?" "The Jedi and their allies are attacking Laud! Alex ordered us to aid in the fight." "I will prepare for launch then." "No." "No?" "Alex has ordered us to keep the enemy occupied, he has something special in mind for them." "What is the suprise?" "He wouldn't say."

Chapter Seven:Darth Exice
"How soon until the HYPER-DRIVE can make the jump, Colonel?" "The HYPER-DRIVE will jump in fifteen minutes, milord." "Colonel Kiev.." "What is it, milord?" "Something is a miss with Captain Tambor." "Sir?" I looked at the newly promoted Colonel. "I have met everyone on Maximum except Tambor. I even did a background check on him and came up empty handed. The man has no past,no family, no presence in the Force." "What do you mean, milord?" "The man is a shadow, I want you to cast some light upon that shadow." "I will do my best, milord." "You must succeed, Colonel." I replied as I shifted my gaze back out the viewport."

Chapter Eight:Jiahta Fett
I lifted myself up off the ground and reached for my guns. My guns had fell out of their holsters. "Why do you insist on fighting me!?" I yelled as my clone stood up and fumbled towards me. "You and I are the exact same, if I spare you then you could do irrepairable damage to my reputation and I can't have that." "It matters not, now we are both going to die." "There was another reason Jiahta, I wanted to kill you to spare you." "What are you talking about?" "My organs are aging rapidly, it hurts. I wanted to spare you that pain, I also wanted to spare you from having to confront Charles. It is near impossible to resist his will, if he wants something done you will do it whether you want to or not."

Chapter Nine:Tiallo Legrange
I sat at my desk and frowned as the holocorder zoomed in on me. "I have no doubt that all of you are wondering what this declaration of emergency is about. The Jedi are transforming into horrific abominations that destroy everything on sight, the G.P.S. has been combating them without any success. Over thirty civillians have been slaughtered. If you do encounter a Jedi, abomination or no, I beg you to kill them. I can't do this without your help, we must exterminate the Jedi before they exterminate us." As the holocorder shut off, I stood up and walked over to Tek who was waiting for me. "That was a good speech." "Thank you, Tek. Has Commander Prim and his squad begun to kill the next wave of civillians?" "Yes, Invisible Squad has recently reported that they have broke into the designated school and have begun killing everyone inside." "Excellent, how could the Galaxy refuse to go after the Jedi now?"

Chapter Ten:Darth Exice
I stood and walked over to Colonel Kiev when I saw him enter the room. "It time to go to the HYPER-DRIVE, Milord." "Grab Adazam and let's go." "As you command, sir."

Chapter Eleven:Adazam Vigrem
Guards once again flanked me from all sides as I was escorted to a shuttle. The Shuttle door slid open and inside I could see Darth Exice sitting. "Have a seat."
