<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Lupercus stood in the treefilled foothills of Delph. It was a planet under the control of the Solo Syndicate, lead formerly by the famous ex-leader of the Disruptor squadron Jaina Solo, then by the Bormien Babe herself, Cairo Solo. Now it was lead by someone else entirely.

But none of that mattered to Lupercus. He had sensed a jedi padawans presence someone down here, and so now he waited, his eyes closed, his hatred flowing and oozing around him, fueling his actions, his power. He could sense his other Sith Disciples above planet, sitting aboard his flagship, searching for the Jedi. But hopefully the Jedi would come to him...<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Soon.... Soon they will come, and soon i will have more blood on my hands...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Corran stopped suddenly as if he had been shot. He sensed the bloodlust, the anger....the darkside. A sith had come to Delph and he wanted to kill. Corran had been here on vacation but that hadn't stopped him from bringing along his trusty lightsaber. He fingered it as he thought with a wry grin.

"<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> He wants to kill does he? Well, I think he has the order all reversed and it's time for me to show him the errors of his ways.<!--EZCODE BOLD END--><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->"

He immeaditly doffed his jedi robe revealing the white tunic he wore underneath. He then set out to the foothill where he had sensed the sith. He entered a clearing and there stood the sith. Corran frowned for a second. He resembeled that happan prince. Then he realized that this must be his evil brother.

Without saying a word Corran stepped forward and offered a nod to the sith. Then he waited reaching out into the force. Tense...but ready.

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> A thing smile crossed the Siths face as he sensed, then saw, the approaching Jedi. As he entered the clearing, he saw a glimmer of recognition pass the padawans face, obviously confusing him momentarily for his brother. The thought made Lupercus bristle with rage. They were the almost total opposite... The shared looks were a mere dramatic irony of fate, or the Force... Or both. And so now, here, he we vent his anger.

Reaching out with his hatred, he sensed the expansion of his strength grow out from him. That was a signal to the other Sith Disciples of his who were waiting about the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Corruptor<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. They instantly began to channel their hatred down upon the foothills, the strength of it flowing over everything leaving the taint of Darkness evident.

Animals squelled, squarked and brayed, sensing and instinctively fearing the pervasive taint of that which was true power. The padawan sensed it too, as he must have, seeing as he was its secondary target. Instantly his movements becamed dulled, his instincts slowed as the Darkness beat down on him. He looked up in bewilderment, and it was then that Lupercus struck.

Moving with a strength belying his beautiful self, he lept forward, his feet meeting squarly with the padawans chest. They flew together, the padawan first, Lupercus a metre behind. As the padawan hit the ground, Lupercus' sabres were both out, the ruby red blades appearing with a snaphiss that was typically so very disconcerting, and with a decisive swipe, swung them both towards the fallen jedis head...<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

At the last second before the sith hit him Corran managed to do a backwards somersault taking away most of the power of the sith's kick. He came up on his haunches just in time to see the sith prepare to chop his head off. Without even thinking he brought his lightsaber out and ignited the blade sweeping the sith's blades up and to the right. He then immeaditly did another backwards somersault and jumped up. Corran then reached out in the force trying to get an offensive attack up and running. He staggered as the darkside power hit him. This guy was either a master which was unlikely or he had a bunch of sith hidden somewhere channeling there power to him. Almost uncounciousley he pushed the feelings of hatred that the darkside invoked in him aside and twisted his right hand extending the blade to 1.5m and giving him the reach on the sith. He then began toalowly wave it in the sith's direction inviting him to come and get close enough so Corran could hit him but he couldn't hit corran.

"Come on. I would've expeced more from a sith. Even a hapan wannabe loser like you." said Corran purposely goading him so he would make that one mistake that would be critical. If you allow your emotions to rule yourself. You don't think. And if you don't think. You die.

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> The Sith warrior laughed harshly as the padawan attempted to goad him. That showed off somethign interesting...<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

"Not Jedi, a Rogue...

No <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> real<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> jedi would attempt such a pathetic attempt at an attack on my mental well being and vanity...

Which leads me to beleive you lack confidence in your abilities as you cannot yourself attempt to force me to make a mistake.

That was <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> your<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> first mistake child..."

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Closing his eyes momentarily, he decided to allow his disciples to attempt a more active part in this padawans defeat. Rising up with his hatred, rocks and sticks at the bottom of the hill rose up, flowing and turning in twin dervishes of hatred and anger. Taking the Hapans lead, the other Sith instantly latched onto the twin growths of pain, the spinning maelstroms of rock and sticks seemingly gaining a mind of their own.

As soon as they had become these independant entities, Lupercus charged forward, a single sideward slash dashed away the Jedis sabre, and opening the way for his right blade to come slicing in. The padawan turned sideways, dodging the stab, but was caught as Lupercus' left sabre returned with a vicious slash. And just at that moment, the small dervishes cam slamming into the padawans body, further distracting and injuring him...<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

(OOC:Sorry bout this, but you took longer than 72 hrs to respond and i'm really in a hurry.)

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> As the rocks flew in, one struck the padawan in the side of the head, the man dropping like a sack of Corellian potatoes. Luckilyfor him that rock saved his life, causing him to collapse just as Lupercus' blade would have slashed his head in two.

Smiling grimly, Lupercus' foot came down on the padawans wrist, causing him to drop his sabre.<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

"That was your <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> second<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> mistake..."

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Picking up the padawans sabre, and deactivating he, he leaned down to the padawans level pointing the deactivated sabre into his stomach. With an evil laugh he activated it for a second, the blade extending to stab the man through the stomach. It was a painful wound, but definetly not fatal.<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

"Something to remember me by!"

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Turning away, he lept up and off the hill and began to run. Within minutes he was at his Miy'Til Fighter and headed back to the Flagship. 10minutes later he was aboard and the ship was headed back for Xa'Fel...<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->
