as again the darkness tried to swallow me, but the light from your presence here dragged me back to this place, once known the great Jedi Knight Temple, the genesis of us all who believe in the surrounding us force...
GearStalker, you truly become powerfull guarding the group from doom...

The force still lingers here, as it seems. Perhaps hope is not lost just yet...

the light...the light reached me... I sense two new bright souls, your light brought me back from the darkness... i t was a long slumber, but will it be enough to rebuild what we once created?
Is there enough strength in us...?

HI everyone, I'm new here.
I've just found this group and couldn't explain how I have missed it so long.

Star Wars is my absolutly fav, so this group is absolutly right for me ^___^

yeah...I'm sure that no matter how much darkness covered the world...there will be a light ^^

The group will never be forgotten. Not as long as the select few who remain continue the fight. For against the overwhelming darkness, there will be hope just as long as even a spark of light remains.

I fell the oncoming darkness... soon the jedi-knight group will be fargotten... and so the shadows will swallow the galaxy, and withou us there will be no light...

I do not know...

...recruitment is a possibility, but at this time the site itself has been less and less active.

is there any hope to protect this group from deletion? is there any way ?

...Do not blame them, Master DarthHeart. They must be preoccupied by more pressing concerns.

...although I do share your sentiments.

...everything dies.... just as this group withers on my eyes....

*Landing Platform #1138*

The air is foul with the oily stench of the wrecked skiff teetering on the edge of the landing. In the distance, smoke bellows out from a nearby exhaust shaft. As the fires continue to burn uncontrollably, a figure emerges from the wreckage, pushing away a piece of scrap metal.
..."...Too close."
G.S. scans the surrounding area. The platform is small, barely big enough to hold a small transport. After seeing the platform's stability, he steps out away from the wreck. Turning upwards, he sees a pillar of dark smoke rising from Exetor's Tower.
..."...I need to get back."
As he starts to move, a feeling overtakes his body. A feeling of danger. He keeps his back to the feeling, slowly reaching for his lightsaber. In a swift twist, he draws and activates his weapon, guarding the attack from the figure behind him: a saber beam from a metallic arm.
Ikari: "It seems that you're tougher than I gave you credit for!"

Zann: Commander, there are emergency transmissions being sent out all over Coruscant
Unknown: What?! Let me see....not good, how long will our stealth fields last?
Zann: 30 minutes at most
Unknown: That doesn't give us much time...wait, do you still have the mirage colloid technology we stole?
Zann: Yes
Unknown: Good, replace the stealthing shield energy source with the mirage colloid.
Zann: Very well
Unknown: I sense another presence...

An emergency transmission is broadcast on the all military channels on Coruscant.
>AN EXPLOSION HAS BEEN DETECTED AT COORDINATES X00-111.
>CAPITOL BUILDING IS UNDER SIEGE.
>DEPLOY ALL PRIMARY CONSCRIPTS TO LOCATION.
>ORDERS ARE TO ELIMINATE ALL WITNESSES.

A secondary transmission is broadcast immediately following the first.
>LARGE SCALE FIRES DETECTED FROM EXHAUST SHAFT #2187.
>VIS SCAN DETECTS A WRECKED SKIFF ON LANDING PLATFORM #1138.
>SECONDARY UNITS INVESTIGATE IMMEDIATELY.

*Aggressor and Keldabe Class Battleships surround Coruscant space*
Unknown 1: Are we ready?
Unknown 2: The Neo-Republic, the resistance and the Imperial remnants have not detected us thanks to the radar jamming of our Skipray Blastboats, send in the StarViper Squadrons and deploy the buzz droids, it is time we revealed ourselves to the galaxy.
Unkown 1: Very well, you've heard the commanders orders, MOVE OUT! *StarVipers launch from Keldabe Battleships and swfitly destroy fighters without other forces knowing their presence*.
Unknown 1: What is our target?
Unknown 2: I sense the presence of a force sensitive one, a familiar one, I must find out who it is, we must make haste, send in the Vengeance Frigates and the Interceptor IV Frigates, Tyber Zann, you and I will head to the tower on the Merciless, Silri?
Silri: Yes, commander?
Unknown 2: I leave you in charge of this battle, should any of our ships be captured, you know what to do.
Silri: Very well. shall the Vengeance Frigates have the element of surprise?
Unknown 2: ... yes, this is the perfect opportunity to test them, activate cloaking fields. *Ships go invisible*
Tyber Zann: Excellent, shall we?
Unknown 2: Not yet, Urai Fenn?
Urai Fenn: Yes?
Unknown 2: Monitor the fight from afar, should anything happen, alert me immediately.
Urai Fenn: Understood.
Unknown 2: Why don't we hire IG-88?
Tyber Zann: Excellent idea, Urai, hire IG-88 at once and have him help out with this ordeal.
Unknown 2: We should get going, activate The Merciless's cloaking field. *Merciless turns invisible and heads for Coruscant's atmosphere*.
Unknown 2: *thinking* It has been too long since I've lost my memory, perhaps this force sensitive can help me remember.

*Maintenance Shaft*

The flames begin to intensify as more and more explosions begin to rock Exetor's Tower. Deep below, Ikari continues to fire away as his skiff races through the collapsing tunnel.
Ikari: "I know that you're there! You can't hide from me forever!"
G.S. flips into the air, landing in front of Ikari. He uses the force to deflect the laser bolts launched from Ikari's mechanical arm. The attacks become so fierce, G.S. is forced to use all of his strength just for defense.
Ikari: "You disappoint me again, Wolf-01. Your jedi skills are nowhere near as strong as they have to be."
..."...What's your point?"
Ikari: "...At this rate, you'll never be able to stop me or my creations."
..."...What?!"
G.S. continues using the force to guard. A red aura begins to glow from his forehead.
Ikari: "...That's it. Use it. Prove to me that you are superior to my creations."
An explosion knocks loose a metal pipe from above. Ikari turns to blast the pipe out of the way. Using this moment, G.S. races ahead, slamming into Ikari's gut with the edge of the Hydra. The impact sends him slamming into the skiff's controls. Before he can get up, Ikari feels the edge of the Hydra pressed against his neck.
Ikari: "...not bad."
..."...I'm sick of this."
Ikari: "...It isn't over just yet."
Ikari presses a secret switch inside of his metallic palm. A powerful blast splits the skiff in two, sending pieces of debris flying about. The remains of the skiff soar out of the shaft's opening just as a massive fireball fills the tunnel. A final explosion causes the base of the Tower to give way, causing the tower floors to collapse one by one.

*CORUSCANT SPACE*
The space battle raged on between the neo-republican fleet, the resistance and the imperial remnant.
Neo-republican fleet consisted of 2 major capital ships which were the old but modified Bulk-class Heavy Dreadnaughts, 24 Bulk-class Destroyers, 12 Bulk Frigates, 4 Bulk Carriers and dozen of V-Wing and T-Wing star fighters. The whole fleet was supported by the powerful orbital GOLAN MK3 fortresses.
The resistance was a fleet mixed of different crafts. The main capital ship was a Mon Calamari II class Cruiser escorted by 3 MonCalamari Cruisers and 5 light calamari, the outward ring was builded from 2 Victory-class II Star Destroyers accompanied by 10 Blockade Runners and 2 Modified Nebulon Frigates supported by squadrons of A and B-Wings.
The other flank was more of civilian convoy like Bulk-Freighters, Correlian Transports with strong escort of Carrack Cruisers and X-wings.
The main attack fleet wasn't directly mixed into the battle couse they were outnumbered by the neo-republicans. The resistance was waiting as the imperial threat fought their enemy.
The imperials showed up in great numbers as always, in the center a magnificient Super class Star destroyer lead the assault, dragging with him 6 Imperial class II star destroyers acompanied by 10 Victory class star destroyers and countless TIE Fighters,Interceptors and Bombers with TIE Advanced as the Lead Squadrons.

*CORUSCANT, over the Tower*
The energy shield dispersed around the Exetor's Tower in the moment DarkHeart would vaporise if GearStalker wouldn't deactivate it.
DarkHeart landed on the roof deflecting the incoming blaster shots from the pursuing Z-95 Fighters. Using the Force Grip, DarkHeart tore off a metallic pipe and throwed it at the craft impaling the pilot and downing the fighter, the second one was destroyed by his own deflected shots.

*TOWER, interior*
Leera closed in for an direct assault but the Velgus/Exetor Frame was faster and managed to deflect with ease and counter immediate after, Leera tried everything but the enemy was very powerful, she haven't fought such strong oponnent never before.
- Sithari : ''girl, you don't even amuse me with your skill, I shall burn you alive''
From his right hand a Force Lightning struck Leera's blades. the impact made her lose her lightsabers and in the same time the frame grabbed her neck and lifted her in the air slowly tightening the metallic grip...
- Leera : ''is...it...the...end...?''

Suddenly the ceiling began to flash an immense light, sparks were coming down and a molten circle began to create itself, fragment of the molten metal felt down a gust of smoke filled the chamber together with the smell of molten steel.

- let her go! - a familar to Leera's ears voice was heard.
- Leera : ''...DarkHeart...?''
The NewExetor identified the intruder...
- Sithari : ''so you survive even the void, impressive... yet still you can't compare to me, you cast away the gift of ultimate power 5 years ago, and now I will take my revenge!''
- DarthHeart : ''So let it be, you shall have your revenge...''
Exetor pushed Leera away and activated it's Dual Blade.
Leera pick up her twin blades and joined DarthHeart's side.
- Leera : ''good to see you, again...'' she smiled softly, and immadiately turned her sight on the enemy.
- DarthHeart : ''sorry, I am late. The traffic was terrible up there...''
- Sithari : ''enough of this jedi talk! Die!''
They rushed on themeself engaging in a fierce duel....

*Exetor's Tower, Shield Generator*

Still reeling from the cheap shot, G.S. finds himself in the inner workings of the shield generator.
..."...If I can shut this down, the whole tower will be exposed to attack."
He races through a catwalk towards a control console. Quickly he starts to hack through the systems of the tower.
..."...Energy flow redirected. In a few seconds, the reactor core here will overload, and the shields will drop.
Suddenly, several explosions catch his attention. The sub-reactors in the chamber burst without warning, setting the room ablaze.
..."...Damn! I have to warn the others."
*telepathy* '...we have a problem. The reactors have blown. This whole place is about to come down..."
Before he can finish his message, the catwalk below gives way sending G.S. plummeting into the dark depths below.

*Maintenance Shaft*
After several moments of free falling, Gren lands on a metallic platform of a passing transport skiff. The shaft begins to quake and tremble from the fiery blasts from above.
..."...What the hell happened?"
Voice: "Exactly what was supposed to happen!"
He turns around to confront the familiar voice speaking to him.
..."...Ikari! Is this your doing?"
Ikari: "Why? Would you kill me if it wasn't?"
..."...Why are you here?"
Ikari: "...to do my job. This structure has stood in my master's path for too long. You should be thanking me; weren't you going to shut this place down anyway?"
..."...Anything that you're involved in is too fishy."
The explosions begin to flood the area as the skiff races through the maintenance shaft.
..."...We still haven't finished our last fight, haven't we?"
G.S. activates his lightsaber.
Ikari: "Attacking the only one who can get the both of us out of here? ...not very becoming for a Jedi."
Realizing the situation, he lowers his stance.
Ikari: "...A wise decision."
Ikari throws his arm out, launching a hail of energy bolts from his palm. Stepping back to avoid the attack, G.S. drops over the edge of the skiff. The hail of bolts continues as he clings to the rear edge of the skiff, only a short distance from a fatal drop.

___ THE STORY IS BACK * ON-Line *_____
'''' a short Flashback of what happened till now :

...Exetor rules the Neo-Republic, imperial remnant and the resistance are trying to retake the capital... a great space battle occur in the Coruscant Space...
DarthHeart brokeout from his bacta tank sensing that Leera needs him, meanwhile GearSTalker sneaked into Exetor Tower to deactivate the shield and superlaser byt encountered a threat... Velgus soulles body reanimated from the dead and tries to fight the overpowered droid, and the mysterious Kayle is heading toward the 'ark' while the 'key' has been activated....

------------------------------END of the FLASHBACK
-----THE STORY CONTIUES NOW :

*Coruscant Space*
DarthHeart A-Wing fighter dodged another Z-95 headhunter fighters as he break trough another Neo-republic fighter squadron. The battle was tense the imperial remnant was dealing massive damage to the Golan fortresses, the mysterious Exodus Station was decimating the capital ships using the four remotes attached deathStars...
The Pillar of Light which was shot from Exetors complete body was visible as it breaktrough the atmosphere and was heading toward the Exodus.
DH A-wing draw near the light, DH knew that it was exetors power so he headed straight down the beam to locate him immediately, but in the same time he felt even more powerfull aura near...
In his eyes he saw a macha-shaped-starcraft heading upward the same course as the A-wing...
- DarthHeart : ''Who is this... this power?''
The ships almost collided with eachother missing a few inches from a collison, DH noticed the pilot in the silver mecha like ship... It was a darkhaired man
- Kayle "You came at last...''
DH heard his voice in the mind....
- DarthHeart : ''Who are you?''
- Kayle "Your droid friend is playing with your girl, better hurry and don't lose time asking unanswered questions... ''
- DarthHeart "Leera.....''
The ships distanced themeself...
- Kayle " The ark has been activated, my mission begins now'' the mechanoid shaped craft entered the Exodus landing bay... the beam faded and the Exodus began to glow red....
*Exosus brige*
- Eli Harirar : the controls are lost, something hacked the system... what happened...
Kayle entered the bridge leaving behind a whole squad of dead resistance soldiers...
- Kayle "This is not a toy for the likes of You...''
- Eli Harirar : ''Who are....'' he got grabbed in a force grip and slowly chocked to death...
Kayle trigerred some buttons and the screans revealed a massive rooms filled with thousands of civilians that were evacuated to the station...
- Kayle "a good harvest day it was.... hahaha... and you ald man aren't worthy of joining them'' Kayle tightened the grip''
- Eli harirar : ''let the civilains..... go....'' his body stopped moving...
- Kayle ''Let's begin''

The A-Wing entered the atmosphere but encountered a heavy anti air craft defence network, the turbo laser turrets and concussion missile launchers were aiming every invader ship that entered the vicinty of the tower... enemy fighter joined the hunt for the jedi...

*Tower*
- Velgus : ''I am not human... I am beyond you all...''
- Exetor : ''How can You exist without your soul? I absorbed it all... your companion as well....''
- Velgus : It was all the plan, you were the emulator, I created You to collect the lost pieces of the Sithari Soul taht were dispatched during the conflict at Chandrilla, five years ago....
- Leera : ''Chandrilla.... he means the battle between Gren and DarthHeart... The Spirit possessed Dark's body and became the ultimate threat...''
- Velgus : ''And Your last purpose was You to become my Armor of the Gods....''
- Exetor : ''what? I am your armor? never!''
He tried to attack, but stopped lifeless as Velgus raised his hand at him....
- Velgus : my lifeless body will be enchanced by your ultimate armor powered by the Sithari Soul residing the crystal and from that I will draw my force power without becoming possessed as the victim before 5 years...''
- Leera : ''...damn''

Velgus entered the opened chest frame od Exetor and got assimilated into the frame, the metamorphosis showed a new form of Exetor, larger and emanuating the green light...

- Exetor/Velgus : ''I am the Sithari... the ultimate one... my rule starts here!'' haha!
- Leera : ''First You have to deal with me...gramps!''
- Sithari : ''Of course, I would play with your body, but in this form I will satisfy myslef just in your death!
Leera ctivated her dual sabers and the Sithari activated a large Double Edged laser blade...

*Over the Tower*
The A-Wing was hit, the damages were to intense...
- darthHeart : ''I have to go down by myself....''
just before another missile scattered the craft DH jumped from cockpit and was falling down...
The defence drones pursued him, DH used his lightsaber to deflect the blasters and force lightning an oncoming Z-95 headhunter that wanted to ram him... the automatic drones were used by DH as some king of stairs to slower the fall and make it easier to dodge all the shots and slowly reaching the Tower Summit.
- darthHeart : ''damn, an energyshield, I will be burned...Gren You were supposed to infiltrate the tower... make haste my friend''

* Tower Underground...*
GearSTalker found himself in a dark chamber, and the sound of sharp talons were closing... he slowly stood up, and sensed DH presence...and heared the messege''
- GearSTalker : ''The Shield.... I have to deactivate it...''

*Coruscant Space*
The Exodus began to glow and the DeatsStars were slowly hiding in their pylons...
- Resistance Admiral : ''what is happening with the station?''
- Enginner : ''Our sensors indicate a large scale Gravity Field taht slowly is devouring the surrounding and closing in...
- Admiral : ''A gravity Drive? impossible such big station can gate out like this?

The Exodus suddenly dissappeared in an immense bright flash...

*Sub-Level 45*
G.S. stands alone after Exetor's departure.
..."...Damn you!"
His frustration fades quickly as he remembers the current situation.
..."...I have no time for this. I need to cut the power to this place."
Standing on a thin ledge, he starts to analyze the surrounding shaft. Waves of energy are channeling upward from a bright glow several floors below.
..."...Judging from this layout, the reactor core for this place must be somewhere below. If I can't fight him directly, I can still take out this place before it activates."
G.S. resumes his descent.

*Summit*
Leera races ahead to attack the superpowered Exetor. She slashes and spins away furiously at Exetor, but he dodges each attack with minimal effort.
Exetor: "Pathetic defense, child."
Without even moving an inch, he sends a wave of force energy that knocks Leera backwards. Her body is held fast by the force energy from his body. Raising his arm, he launches several bolts of lightning from his fingertips. She screams in pain as the electricity courses through her body.
Exetor: "You should have never come here, foolish child. If you hadn't, then maybe you could have saved your own worthless life!"
Exetor launches a massive bolt from his palm. Leera closes her eyes, expecting the impact. The bolt curves to the right, striking the floor.
Exetor: "What?!"
His loss in concentration causes his grip on Leera to release. As she struggles to catch her breath, she glances to her left. A massive swell of dark energy is gathering over Velgus' dismembered corpse. As the darkness swells even bigger, his severed body begins to levitate off the floor. The spilt blood flows back into the body, and cuts to the limbs begin to fade as the body reassembles itself. All the while, a sinister, low toned laugh begins to sound throughout the room.
Velgus: "Sorry, but that's not gonna be enough to stop me!"
Exetor: "Impossible! Nobody can regenerate from wounds that severe! How is it possible that you can come back from the dead?!"
Velgus: "You cannot kill...what was never alive from the start!"
Leera drops to her hands and knees in disbelief as Velgus completes his revival.
Leera: *shocked* "Impossible. What kind of being is Velgus?!"
Exetor: *enraged* "Die!"
Exetor fires a beam of red energy from his chest. The beam strikes Velgus in the arm, severing it in impact, but the arm regenerates just as quickly.
Velgus: "You have no idea what you are dealing with."
Velgus raises his arm. A massive sphere of dark energy quickly appears over his hand, absorbing the debris in the chamber. He launches the sphere, which strikes Exetor in the chest. The impact leaves a gaping hole in his chest.
Leera: "Such power..."
Velgus stands tall, preparing for another attack.

*Tower Exterior*
Mari-ae slashes through several JK drones. She drops to the floor from exhaustion.
Mari-ae: "Just how many of these things do I have to destroy? That bastard is in there somewhere."
As she climbs to her feet, three other JKs race towards her. She slices through each one after another. As she cuts down the third, several laser bolts blast from behind. She spins around and sees an entire group of JKs equipped with swords and blasters. She tries to guard, the the bolts blast through her legs, knocking her to the ground.
Mari-ae: "I can't...go on. There's...too many..."
Her vision begins to blur. As she comes close to passing out, suddenly, a figure in black jumps in front of her. Shielding her from the attacks, the figure dashes toward the attacking drones. Her ears are soon filled with the sounds of swords slicing effortlessly thought metal. In moments, the only sound she hears is the footsteps of someone walking towards her.
Kayle: "It's alright. You fought well, but everyone has their limits."
Mari-ae: *breathing heavily* "Kayle... ...you came back. ...but why? Why did you...save me?"
Kayle: "I may be trained in the Sith arts, but I know better than to just let someone die."
Mari-ae: "Kayle... ...I'm sorry...about before."
Kayle: *laughs* "Don't sweat it."
At that moment, the sky fills with a bright glow. They both turn towards Exetor's Tower, which has become engulfed in waves of electricity coursing towards the summit.
Mari-ae: "What's going on?"
Kayle: "I don't know, but I've got a bad feeling about this."

*Exodus, Weapons Bridge #5*
Soldiers clad in blue armor stand guard as Ela-Harirar approaches the main controls.
Ela-Harirar: "Report, commander!"
Commander: "Sir, we've secured all personell in the area. The facility is ours. But...strangely, sir, none of the weapon systems have been activated."
Ela-harirar: "Are you sure?"
Commander: "Absolutely, sir. Nobody's been in this place for a long time."
Ela-harirar: "This is odd..."
Operator: "What shall we do now?"
Ela-harirar: "Let's have some fun then... Charge up the station's superlasers! Target any any Neo-Republic crusiers attacking our fleet!"
Operator: "Yes, sir!"
Outside the space station, the Death Stars start to rotate, aiming their primary weapon at the various Neo-Republic crusiers. In seconds, a massive laser launches from the Death Stars, annihilating the crusiers on impact.
Commander: "Direct hit, sir! The Strength of the Neo-Republic forces is dropping rapidly!"
Ela-Harirar: "Good work. Continue covering our fleet from here."
An alarm beacon begins to blare.
Operator: "Sir, a massive energy source is being detected."
Ela-Harirar: "Location!"
Operator: "It's coming from... ...from right below us!"
Ela-Harirar: "There can't be any ships, unless... ...The Tower!"
Commander: "Sir?"
Ela-Harirar: "The Tower on Coruscant is equipped with a functional superlaser!"
Commander: "Can't we attack the Tower from here?"
Ela-Harirar: "No, our ground team is still down there! Plus, unless our aim with this weapon is extremely accurate, we'll be risking destroying Coruscant itself."
Operator: "What should we do?"
Ela-harirar: "Try to move this bucket of bolts out of firing range. We need to protect the people on this station!"
Operator: "Yes, sir!"
Ela-Harirar: *thinking* "Just what is going on down there?"

*Sub Level 49, Terminal Core*
G.S. lands on a steel catwalk in a massive chamber. The walls are lined with electrical cables leading upward. Just below is a gargantuan metal sphere hovers in the center of the room, sending out waves of energy.
..."...Alright. If I can take this thing out, I should be able to cut power to the superlaser."
As he turns around, he becomes startled by a large skeletal frame.
..."...What the? Exetor?"
As he looks closer, he notices no signs of life coming from the body. As his eyes scan the room, he sees several other similar frames lining the walls and acting as conduits for the core energy.
..."...No. ...This isn't him. They're only copies."
Continuing to scan the area, the armors form a ring around the entire chamber except for over a nearby doorway and for two empty spots.
..."...This isn't good. Just how many copies does he have? They don't seem like they'll be activating anytime soon..."
His eyes are drawn to the floor. The cables leading upward lead further down.
"...Wait a minute. If these aren't being powered by the core, then what is giving them power?"
As he walks around, he kicks somehting hard. Hearing it rattle across the steel floor, the object stops in front of the sealed door. G.S. rushes over to investigate.
..."...What the...?"
He bends down to pick up the object. In his hands is an empty skull-shaped mask with a vertical slash going through the left eye socket.
..."...Damn. This isn't good."
His mind focused on the mask in his hands, G.S. cannot hear over the whirring and buzzing of the machinery the sounds of metallic talons twitching behind him. The figure slowly raises itself over the railing and onto the catwalk next to him. It isn't until he sees the bright neon green glow overshadowing him that G.S. realizes someone is next to him. Before he can turn to face the source of the glow, he is struck in the stomach by an energized fist. The strength of the attack sends G.S. flying into the doorway, and the darkness of the chamber beyond the door.

*Tower Summit*
Velgus launched an attack against Exetor Doppelganger not knowing that is is just a copy... Exetor was skilled as the original leaving no chances of breaking trought for Velgus.
Velgus lightsaber was blocked with ease at every time with bare hands of Exetor. Leera was watching it with the will to fight and defeat the metal droid that have seriously wounded DarthHeart! her thought were filled with hate...
- Velgus : ''Even don't think about it Girl! '' he shouted sensing her intentions!
- Velgus : ''He is mine!'' in the moment Exetor activated his cortosian double edge on his left arm and attacked Velgus...
- Exetor : ''Your time will end here and now!''
the two were fighting but Exetor had the advantage couse the Velgus lightsaber couldn't harm him... the two get to the lock with their weapons measuring who is stronger..... Velgus concentrated all of his strenght into this moment, making him to slowly breaking trought but suddenly from Exetor body launched ten cable like cables that penetrated Velgus body...the blood spilled into the air.... Velgus dropped his lightsaber to the floor....
Exetor : ''I waited for the moment, of my 'father' death!
Velgus : ''damn......yooou.....''
Leera was disgusted by the sight... Velgus body was hovering in the air with the impaled cables in his body.... Velgus struggled.....
- Exetor : ''Your death is immiment, I shall become complete....the last piece is within You....''
In the corridor outside the room Ikari was running and sensed Velgus defeat is near.....
- ikari : ''I have to aid him now!'' then suddenly his body get paralyzed....
- ikari : ''what is this....'' a familiar voice reached him....
- Kayle : ''You have done well....now stay here''
- ikari : ''You! what are you scheming?!?!?!'' his body was paralyzed and couldn't moved...
*the summit*
Leera was slowly preparing to assault Exetor as he was torturing Velgus....
- Velgus : ''It is not my last word....with You.....''
- Exetor : ''and what can You do?''
Velgus with his last streght was trying to reach something in his belt....
Leera was ready to strike but felt a strong presence outside the tower's window, she turned her sight there and saw levitating Kayle watching the scene....
- Velgus : ''DIE!'' he grabbed a new weapon from the belt, it looked just like the sword Hydra GS had....
- Exetor : ''?'' Velgus with his last strenght wanted to slash Exetor's head, but the sword suddenly was smashed as an invisible hand was doing it turning the Hydra into a crumble of paper like alloy....
Leera noticed that Kayle was holding his hand high,
- Leera : ''So he is doing that? but why?''
- Velgus : ''impossible.... why!''
- Exetor : ''Fool!'' Exetor used the impaled cablke to cut Velgus body into pieces... Leera's face was spilled with blood as she looked again at Exetor....
Velgus was dead..... his remnats were covering the room....
- Exetor : ''NOW is the time! become complete!'' his chest frame opened revealing a crystal and the energy wave began to absorb Velgus spirit which was contaminated with the 'true Sithari soul part' that once posseseed DarthHeart.
- Exetor : ''Yes, now I am complete''
------------------------------
Undergound of the Tower....
Exetor was flying upward following by GearStalker jumping on the pillars and pipes coming out of the towre's core...
- Exetor : ''So my copy fulfilled it's mision, sorry fleshling but I have matters at hand....'' Exetor teleported somewhere using his gravity drive.... GS was still trying to reach the summit...

*summit*
Exetor appeared beside the doppelganger which already began to absorb the last piece of the sithari soul and began to transfer it into the original Exetor beside him....
-exetor : '' Yes, this is the power!'' the doppelganger fell apert after the transfer was complete and true Exetor body was emanuating a red light from below fis frame....
Leera felt Kayle's was gone..... and from Exetor body a red pillar of light was shoot into the sky....

*Tower, Exetor's Chamber*
Leera stands poised in a defensive stance, watching Exetor move into an offensive position. His metalic talons twitch as he eyes his opponent.
Exetor: "This aura... ...I see. You were one of my crack soldiers. You left my fold to join up with that upstart of a jedi over six years ago."
Leera: "What are you going on about?"
Exetor: "I see that your memory is still a little hazy. Let me refresh your memory. You were aboard the Cygnus II when it passed through the gravity well. I remember it well... ...you fought so well to protect your friends. Rather than kill you, I chose to wipe your memory and mold you into one of my finest assassins. I never figured that traces of your full potential still remained in your mind."
Leera: "Is that what I've been feeling lately? This uneasiness?"
Exetor: "Knowing that, knowing that you once served me, do you still intend to fight me?"
Leera: "...more than ever."
As the two step towards one another, the chamber doors open.
Ikari: "It seems that I am interrupting something."
Exetor: "Who are you?!"
Ikari: "I see. So you are the runaway prototype. Exetor, is it?"
Exetor: "...you're the second person to refer to me by that name. So, you are with 'that man' then?"
Ikari: *cleaning his glasses* "He has more pressing matters to attend to, so he has sent me to take care of you."
Leera: *to herself* "He's with Velgus?"
Exetor: "Confident, aren't you? Your precious master barely survived combat with me. What chance do you hav...?"
Before he can finish, Ikari moves in blinding speed to withing inches of Exetor's face.
Ikari: "Better than you think!"
Exetor makes a hard swing with his fist. Ikari sidesteps and leaps backwards.
Exetor: "Your speed is phenomenal...for a jedi."
Ikari: "I am not a jedi." *scoffs* "Why is it that whenever someone displays some amazing power, people in this world consider them a jedi?"
Exetor: "I have no time for this..."
While staring down Ikari, Exetor secretly presses a switch on his arm. In a instant, the chamber begins to flood with waves of some unknown energy.

*Tower, 31st Floor.*
G.S. and Velgus clash swords. Without warning, a high pitch tone begins to echo throughout the tower. As the tone increases in pitch, a digitized voice fills their minds.
"...A dimensional rift have been activated throught the Tower. Your allies are in the summit, but if you wish to engage me in combat, find the true summit of this tower. I wish to deal with the two of you personally..."
As the two continue to lock blades, Velgus darts to the side. As G.S. staggers, Velgus force chokes him into the air.
Velgus: "The honor of destroying that machine is not yours to take, my rogue wolf."
Velgus force thorws G.S. across the room, and into the energy column. G.S. passes through the column and plummets down towards the bottom of the tower.
Velgus: *to himself* "I know you can survive that fall... So take my advice: don't throw your life away in a fit of rage. I taught you better than that."
Velgus turns and resumes his climb up the Tower.

*Tower, summit*
Exetor lunges forward, launching a bolt of energy from his fist. Ikari spins to the side, and throws several quick punches to Exetor's chest. Exetor swings for a downward double-fist strike, but Ikari dodges and strikes him from behind with a backhand to the spine, followed by a chop to the neck. Exetor leaps away.
Exetor: "Impressive! Most impressive! But what can mere punches do against me?"
Ikari raises his right arm forward, and begins to charge it full of energy.
Exetor: "An energy attack? Too easy..."
Exetor goes to move, but his body locks.
Exetor: "What?!"
Ikari: "You should know better than to underestimate the abilities of your opponent. Let alone the one who was involved in your creation."
Exetor looks down. Several metallic poles are imbedded into his frame, each one pulsating in rythym to Ikari's arm.
Ikari: "Elementary electronics. Any electronic device can be disabled by an Electro-Magnetic Pulse. Those pikes in your body are designed to synch with my arm, generating an EMP field around the target. Give it up, your body is useless now."
Exetor: "Fair move, human. But I wonder how long you can keep this field up. The second it drops, I'll rip you limb from limb."
Ikari: *thinking* "...that thing is right. I can't keep this field up for long. I need some backup..."
He looks toward Leera.
Ikari: "...and in her emotional state, this female doesn't stand a chance. Her anger is too overwhelming. No, I need someone else to get here on the double."
At that moment, the chamber doors open once more.
Velgus: "So, this it the summit."
Ikari: "Master! It's about time you got here."
Velgus surveys the situation. He glances toward Ikari, then to Exetor, then to Leera.
Velgus: "Ikari, drop the field."
Ikari: "Master?"
Velgus: "Your task is done. You have done well."
Ikari: "...understood."
The field dissipates. Exetor drops to the floor. As Exetor tries to regain power, Ikari walks out of the chamber.
Velgus: *telepathy* "...Commence with the operation. You know what to do."
Ikari: "Of course, Master."
Velgus shifts focus to the matter at hand.
Velgus: "You there! You're Gren's protege, aren't you? For your own good, stay out of this fight."
Leera: "Why should I listen?"
Velgus: "Trust me, child. This one is out of your league."

*Tower, Sub-Level B28*
G.S. wakes up from the turbulent fall following the previous fight. Looking around, he is in a darkened chamber filled with dozens of pipes, wires, and cables. A large circular pit fills the center of the room, the pit leading further down into the depths of the Tower.
..."...Damn him."
Mechanoid Voice: "I see that you've regained consciousness..."
Startled, g.s. turns toward the voice. Obscured by the shadows of the room is a mechanoid figure with a skeletal frame.
..."...Exetor?!"
Exetor: "In the flesh... ...so to speak."
..."...So, this place is the 'true face' of the Tower."
Exetor: "Correct. Your combat skills were lacking, but I always assumed that you were clever enough to solve my query. Well done, jedi upstart."
..."...What are you trying to pull?"
Exetor: "The people of this planet need to be protected from war. I merely provided the best means possible to accomplish this task."
..."...By brandishing a new battle station against any who stand before you? You must be mistaken if you think that the galaxy will just stand idly by while you stretch out your rule."
Exetor: "No, it is you who are mistaken... ...about a great many things. I am aware of the resistance move to take back this world, and I have prepared for your arrival. Surely, you must have noticed the energy output coursing throughout this facility. This tower is, in fact, a massive energy turret. Fueled by the Gravity Drive that brought me into this world, a single blast from this weapon will be more than enough to annihilate your pathetic fleet...as well as the people that have already gathered on the Exodus."
..."...you bastard! You won't get away with this."
Exetor: *cackles* "I doubt that you alone have gained enough skill to stop me. ...And if you think that you can count on help from your friends, you are sorely mistaken. Your friends, up in the summit, have walked into a trap. My doppleganger has distracted them long enough so they failed to notice that the room they're in is the gathering chamber for the laser. As of now, that room is sealed from all sides, and in mere moments will begin to gather with massive amounts of gravitational energy. Not even the strongest of jedi will be able to endure the amounts of gravitational force generated in that chamber."
... *thinking* "...I have to warn them. They have to get out of there."
Exetor: "This area is sealed by a dimensional barrier under my control. If any help manages to arrive, they will not be able to reach this place. Nor will you be able to reach them."
..."...Why?"
Exetor: "I knew that you would find this place. I've been waiting for another chance to fight you, and I wanted to be sure that I could fight you uninterrupted."
..."...I can't let you do this."
G.S. draws his weapon, and readies for attack. In response, Exetor rises to his feet, his body surging with electrical energy.
Exetor: "...I know you won't. That is why I'll crush you with by bare hands!"
Exetor lunges forward, and strikes with an electrified punch. G.S. spins left, and counters with a backhand to the gut followed by an elbow to the face. Exetor staggers back and launches several electrical bolts from his fingers. At the last moment, g.s. uses the Hydra blade to deflect the bolts.
Exetor: "My, now. That is an interesting sword you have there. I see that you have learned a few things since the last time we fought."
..."..."
Exetor: "...But how can you fight under extreme diress."
The chamber begins to shine an errie color as energy begins to course thorughout the room.
Exetor: "The cannon has been activated. In moments, the room where your friends are sealed in will become a crushing inferno. Can you stop me in time to disable the cannon? Time is running out for you and your friends!"
..."...Damn!"
G.S. dashes ahead, throwing several rapid slashes toward Exetor. Exetor darts from side to side, dodging each attack. He throws a suprise left, striking g.s. in the face and causing him to stagger. He moves in for a double-fisted strike from above. G.S. swings his sword forward. The blade splits down the middle, forming a fork like blade. Exetor's arms slide through the gap between the blades, and before he can react, G.S. spins the blade upward, causing Exetor to spin through the air and slam on the ground. As the blade changes shape once more, forming a massive single-edge knife, G.S. swings hard downward. Exetor rolls to the side, barely missing the blade as it slices through the floor.
Exetor: "Not bad. But I'm just getting warmed up."
Exetor swings his arms forward, throwing several bolts of electricity from his palms. G.S. dodges each bolt, and force pulls Exetor into close range, striking the mechanoid in the chest. Exetor furiously swings a energized fist downward, but G.S. sidesteps and counters with an upward slice through Exetor's face. He staggers backwards toward the pit.
Exetor: "I've underestimated your skill, Jedi. You have proven to me your worth in battle. ...But now it's time to die."
Exetor begins to levitate into the air as massive amounts of energy begins to surge throughout his body. Exetor extends his arm, and fires several massive bolts of energy. G.S. attempts to block, but the bolt strikes him head on, sending him flying into the wall. Before he can recover, he is struck by another bolt. As g.s. tries to get up, Exetor's chest opens up, revealing a red gemstone.
Exetor: "You put up a half-decent fight, but now it's time to finish this!"
Exetor fires a bolt of light from his chest. At the last second, G.S. puts up his sword and reflects the beam back towards Exetor. The beam strikes him in the chest, causing him to drop to the floor. Without wasting a second, G.S. races forward and strikes away repeatedly at Exetor. With each slash, Exetor is pushed closer and closer towards the pit. A final cross-slash knocks Exetor into the pit, sending him plummeting to the unknown levels below. Trying to catch his breath, G.S. approaches the edge of the pit.
..."...the mission... ...has to be finished..."
G.S. takes a step and drops down in pursuit.

*Coruscant, Tower *
Exetor was observing everything, watching GearStalkers and Velgus moves towards him, slowly eliminating the defenders....
- Exetor : ''Good, come to me my creator, give me what's rightfully is mine...HAHAHA!''
Exetor opens a console and pushes some triggers....
a comp voices :
- Voice : ''The Defence barrier established, the inner defences inactive, sealing the entrance to the main chamber''

*Tower, exterior*
Leera reached the entrance still being pursued and attacked by the droids....
- Leera : ''At least I am here'' another shotswere deflected by her ...and in the same time a green force barrier surrounded the tower....
- Leera : ''What?'' she forced pushed one of the droids to check what kind of barrier it is, but the droid instatly vaporized by touching it....
Suddenly the caped man arrived and elimated a group of the droids....
- Leera : ''Who are You?''
- Kayle : ''It is a plasma barrier, no chance of breaking it from this side...''
- Leera : ''Damn, I have to get inside!''
- Kayle : ''I can help You...'' he gently smiled to her....
Leera was analysing the man with her senses but altough he used a lightsaber to cut down those droids she didn't sensed and force aura in him.....
- Leera : ''Really?''
- Kayle : ''I know a underground passage to the tower complex....''
- Leera : ''Show me the way!''
- Kayle : ''As You wish...'' he ironically bowed before her..... Leera smiled seeing it but felt nice .... they entered an underground corridor....
- Leera : ''Who are You?''
- Kayle : ''Just a man, without reasons.....''
- Leera : ''I see, I know this feeling.....''
- Kayle : ''You are strong in the ways of the force...''
- Leera : ''what?''
- Kayle : ''the power just is surrounding you..... waiting to explode.... your true potential will soon be activated.....''
- Leera : ''what are you talking about?''
Suddenly he draws his saber at her, the dark corridor brightens up when their lightsabers collide....
- Leera : ''What are you doing?'' she tried to forcepush him away, but he just absorbed the forcepush energy with his other hand....
- Leera : ''What?'' then Kayle Used a Force Lightning that was defended by her sabers but still the impact was so powerfull that sends her backwards....
- Kayle : ''good girl... only your anger can save you, remember.....'' he turned away from her and began to walk away...
- Leera : ''Don't turn your back on me, like that!'' as she raised from the ground suddenly she was surrounded by a columns of energy....
- Leera : ''a Ray Shield Trap!'' Leera was trapped and the ceilings shaft opened transporting her to the upper floors of the tower....
- Kayle : ''so the 'ark' is ready, now we need just the key...hehe''

*The Tower 31st floor*
Velgus came across GearStalker....
- Velgus : ''So we meet again, still this idea of igoring our conflicts is irritating me....
- GearStalker : ''You have a point, we should settle this ....
- Velgus : ''...here and now!''
The two throw themself against eachother, while in Exetors room the captured Leera appears....
- Exetor : ''what a nice suprise, one of the last jedi came to a visit''
- Leera : ''release me and Your rule will end right here!
- Exetor : ''such harsh words from such a lady, You meatbags lack manners...''
- Leera : ''I will destroy you!''
- Exetor : ''good..... then entertain me while I wait until my creator arrival!''
the rayshield deactivated and the two prepared for the combat...

*Deus II*
- medic : ''something is wrong with the bacta tank''
- medic 2 : ''the wounded jedi is in there''
- medic : '' the readings indicate that ...''
- nurse : ''someone broke from the tank and dissappeared!'''

DarthHeart walked down the corridor...
the medic catch up with him...
- medic : ''sir! you can't ! your treatment isn't over yet, you have to ....''
- DarthHeart : ''She needs me.......''
- medic : ''stop! you canno~~'' the medic suddenly was blown to the wall....
- DarthHeart : ''she is in danger....''
- medic : ''damn..... stubborn jedi.....''
- DarthHeart : ''...Leera...... ''
DH entered the hangar and stole an A-Wing StarFighter heading toward Coruscant trough the space battle

*Coruscant, space*
The battle continue to erupt in a blinding series of laser blasts and explosions. A swarm of X-wings takes down a Star Destroyer. At the same time, a squadron of specially equipped A-wings performs a pass over the surface of the Exodus.
Gold Leader: "External scan complete. Strange, but there don't seem to be any external weapons or defenses of any kind on this thing."
Ela-Harirar: *holocom* "What about those Death Stars? Surely they must be active."
Gold Leader: "No energy output detected. Maybe it's only meant as a deterrant after all."
Ela-Harirar: *holocom* "That's what the second team will intend to find out."

*Imperial Shuttle*
A band of soldiers stands poised for a ground attack. With swords clutched in his hands, Ela-Harirar stands before them.
Ela-Harirar: "Alright, troops. The target is in sight. Scans indicate that there are no external defenses, but we don't know if they might be hiding something in there. You know your mission: find out what kind of weapons are aboard the Exodus. Your orders are to disarm and disable. No casuallties will be tolerated, so set your weapons to stun. Is that clear?"
Soldiers: "Yes, sir!"
Ela-Harirar: "That's good to hear."
The shuttle draws closer to the Exodus.

*Coruscant, Tower Exterior.*
Darth Kayle reviews the schematics of the Tower given to him by his handmaiden, Forte.
Kayle: "Tower is approximatly 50 floors tall, not counting the summit floor. Built in the shape of a thorn-like point, all the floors are round and centralize around a single, massive column of energy stretching to the summit. Defenses include, but are not limited to: automated turrets, energy barriers, and various other guards and surveilence equipment..."
Kayle looks up to the summit.
Kayle: "Doesn't seem that hard."

*Exetor's Tower, 1st floor*
Alarms are blaring throughout the structure. Soldiers clad in Mandalorian armor race through the corridors to the tower entrance. Fully armed, they stand in wait for the intruder. Suddenly, the door opens and the soldiers open fire. A seemingly endless stream of laser bolts fly through the doorway, pulverizing the ground into dust. After a moment, one of the soldiers raises his hand, signaling the others to cease fire. Only silence remains as dust continues to pour through the doorway. As the troops lower their guns, two faint clangs can be heard. A pair of small metal spheres bounce from the dust, and come to a rest at the feet of the soldiers. Before they can react, the thermal detonators explode, sending the soldiers flying in all directions. Emerging from the dust, G.S. races ahead, slashing away at the remaining soldiers. Without warning, additional soldiers open fire from across the corridor. G.S. blocks the shots with his blade, and force-pushes the nearby elevator doors. He then leaps into the empty elevator shaft, and uses the 'Hydra' to pole-vault up the shaft.

*Tower, Eastern loading bay*
Mari-ae weaves in and out as she dodges the attacking soldiers. One trys to club her with the butt of his rifle, but she guards and twists around, slashing through his midsection from behind.
Mari-ae: "Damn soldiers, you're nothing compared to what I've seen."

*Tower, Southern gate*
In a dazzling array of spins and twists, Leera dodges the energy bolts from the JK units. As a bolt strikes near her left foot, she flips into the air, force-pulls one of the JKs, and slashes through them in midair.
Leera: "He's still using these same models? How outdated."
