Jedi Council Temple
Sean sat up looking towards the sky ships flying past him. He smiled and created a force bubble in front of his hand. He thought about how his Jedi Exams scores were. He aced them and was now a Jedi Master. Sean stood up and walked inside the Temple and smiled towards the Jedi desciples passing him. He looked toward the meditation chamber where his old Jedi Master Diron Juda walked out. She had long blonde wavy hair and a normal Jedi Master robe on.
Diron: Heard you graduated today. So have you been given a trainee yet?

Sean shook his head."No not quit." He said looking into the distance at a man. He noticed the man from his exams. It was Jun Le. The Jedi Council Leader. Sean turned back to him master. "I think what the council wants me to do is look for jobs around the galaxy or they might assign me one I'm not exactly sure. Whatever they ask I will serve them to my best ability. As you've taught me master." he said bowing and coming up. Diron smiled.

Diron: Skip the formalities. We've known each other for ten years. Your finally my equal. You don't have to bow.

Sean looked up and smiled. "I know...It's just I owe you so much. After my parents past your the only adult figure I've ever had." he said smiling. He went to look back at the Jedi Councler but when he looked Jun Le was standing next to his master.

Jun Le- I need you two to go on a mission to Hoth. There you will find a lost Jedi artifact. I need you to get it.

Sean shook his head and walked off towards the Sky Travelers. He opened the pod to a Republic Soldier. He was in the pilot corrdinating his route. Sean sat all the way in the back where he took his lightsaber out. He began twisting some gears on it fixing some statistics. Before he could finish his Master got on the Ship and sat next to him. She looked around and pulled her hood over her head and began to fall asleep. Sean looked at the jackets hanging up on the hooks above head holding Jedi Jackets. He pulled the jacket over him. He tried to stay up but he drifted off.

On a bandit ship floating somewhere near Hoth.

"So who have you brought to me," I said looking down on the prisoner and at his wanted poster. "Nice job, tell those losers we have him and to double the reward or no deal," I said spitting a toothpick at the prisoner. "OK so we have Intel that a Jedi ship is coming to pick up some artifact, I want that artifact and we will sell it on the Hoth black market," I yelled to the thousands of bounty hunters I had found.

Jedi Temple
Reno sighed as he watched yet another Jedi leave; probably on some important mission to save the world, or defeat sith...or something cool like that. He would be having more fun than Reno. He had passed all the tests to become a jedi... but before he could move from apprentice, he had to have someone mentor him: A master. But it seemed like all the masters didnt want to take him on, or they already had one.

He walked back inside the temple, and slouched down into a chair, fixing his tunic. He wanted to do something...a mission! He would do a lot more than anyone would expect from him. He could take on Knights with a lightsaber...it was that his force powers were....ineffective..at best. He could pull medium sized things to him, fine. Anything over 50 pounds gave him trouble. Pushing was easier, but not by very far. He could sprint and jump fine, but manupulating things was difficult...

He only sat for a minute, before pushing himself up from the seat. He didnt want to simply sit around mopping. He would begin to walk down the hallway, into the training hall. Training was about the only thing exciting to do around the Temple. Everyone else was with their master, or in class. He reached down to his belt, taking hold of his laser blade, before drawing it quickly from the leather, and raising it into a ready stance, an easy Form IV stance.

He began to swing the blade around, practicing his drills and technique... He imagined his foe in front of him: A sith. The two were clashing blades in his mind, and he would effectively guard and block his opponent's imaginary foe. Before coming around in a speedy spinning counter. He remembered his style's master: Qui-Gon Jinn. He only saw the man training with the blade once, but it was devistating. He knew that he would be able to reach Qui-Gon's standard one day...

His blade training continued...

"Form up on me," I said placing the charges on the Jedi door. "Three..... Two...... One," I counted down and the charges exploded and opened the door. The bounty hunters poured into the room and started shooting at the two guarding Jedi. I crept around the side of the room and watched the Jedi reflect the lasers. They did not expect me to be there so shot both in the head. "Blow the door down," I yelled and the hunters shot a rocket at the door and we discovered there was no prized artifact.

Sean woke up much later. He didn;t wake up becuase he was awake. The only thing that make him wake up from out his slumber and it was the freezing cold atmosphere on Hoth. He had heard of it's tempature before but this was bafling. He looked over to his master who looked to be up for some time now. She was in a heavy meditation. She had always did this before a heavy mission so Sean was begining to worry a bit. The way the Supreme Counciler had put it was that it was a simple go kill a guy or go get this for me mission. This was a fading thought. In fact the feeling of safeness dissapeard completely. The force in the air was strong. This made him very uneasy. There was something dark about it. Something he only heard in myth. The Sith.

The ship pulled down and land in a heliport. They landed in an old landing spot were it looked as though no one had been in years. Diron had got off the ship before Sean and was standing outside with her arms crossed. She was looking at Sean intently. Sean walked down the steps and the ship flew off swiftly. Sean looked at his master and sighed. "I feel it....You didn't tell me." He said.

Diron- This is your challenge...

Diron removed her lightsaber and drew it out. It was Green and glew brightly. Sean was confused by this turn of events. He took his lightsaber out and went to the defensive. "What are you doing!?"

Diron- Do you understand? That pressence. It is close. The Jedi are closing in and what they want is me. I will be taken and killd. That was are mission. the counciler had given us up. He told them are corridinates and they will kill us swiftly.

"Jedi? You mean the Jedi Council want us dad?" Before Diron could answer five Jedi Masters came from around a corner lightsabers drawn. Diron charged at the first Jedi she saw and ducked his swing attack. Another jumped from bhind her and swung at her but she jumped behind them and she hit the man in the back killing him instantly. Sean was then attacked by two other men. The fifth man stood there with his arms folded. Sean noticed him as Jin-So the Jedi Ambassador. Sean had to think fast. The two jedi swung at the same time but Sean ducked and they missed. Sean cut off the man on the lefts leg and stood up. He then swong at the man. The man countered and blocked his attack.

On the other side Diron was just finishing off the other Jedi and she ran at the one Sean was fighting. She instantly killed him. Jin-So looked at the Jedis and pulled out his twin lightsabers. They then procceded to dual. Sean was putting on a flurry of moves and then was pushed to the other side of the room by Jin. Jin and Diron then proceeded to the one on one dual. Thy were giving it everything they had. Sean sat in the corner trying to catch his breath. He looked up.

Diron did an over head slash but was countered. Jin used his other lightsaber and stabbed Diron in the chest. Sean stood up and drew his lightsaber. "N...No!" He said charging in recklessly. He swung but was countered and with that Jin took his arm. Sean fell to the floor and screamt. "Ahh" He yelped in pain. He fell to the floor and Jin stood over him.

Jin: You will die slow.

Jin then walked towards a Ship that had just landed and they took off. The cold began to seep into Sean. The huge wound he had just earned didn;t even bleed. The blood froze and the cold would kill him if the wound didn't. He looked towards his master. His vision began to fade. He saw his master dead before him and he reached out for her in an attempt to get to her. Before he could got to her he passed out.

"Oh my, what happened out here," One of the Bounty Hunters said. I drew my laser. I said," Be on your toes we don't want to get jumped!"

Eros rode his TIE Phantom towards the Hoth system. His loyalty to the Sith and their cause was one of the most important things in his mind. He had been a Sith even before he was born, trained since he could first wield a saber and worked hard to become what he is. In his fighter he meditated, it was the only time he could find peace from all the politics and the habitual nonsense that became of the Sith when there were no major battles to have. Eros thrived for combat, many times he turned down certain promotions in the Sith that he thought would make him soft. And now that he had little to do back in the Sith base some where in the Unknown Region, he headed for Hoth...where he thought he could find some solace in looking into its icy landscapes to find a special artifact that may have sentimental meaning to him. Though he didn't care much for it...it was something to do.

He knew something about Hoth, and learned even more from his research. It was mainly inhabited by creatures with less intellectual capabilities such as Wampas. humans were known to settle there, but the icy barren land made it difficult...that and the countless scars left over from battles taken place over the years. As he entered its atmosphere, all he saw was blue ice that froze even the largest body of water on the planet.

He rode along high above the surface, scanning for anything he could find. Anything that gave him a clue that something beside ice was down there. what broke his attention was, unfortunately, not his scanners but his com-link. a message came in from a personal friend of his and the present leader of the Sith...Darth Gradius.

Eros turned the com-link on wondering what he wanted to say, "I hope you find whatever it is you are looking for, you know I cant stand these fools you are leaving me with."

Eros let a sly smile escape from his lips knowing that Gradius could not see him. "Yes, I will return as soon as possible m'lord. You could use an escape from all this yourself you know". Eros knew that would help lighten up his day.

Gradius replied "Yes well, if I'm gone who shall lead the Sith?"

Eros ended the com-link just as his scanner picked up something that made it beep intensely. Hie TIE Phantom cut through the icy air in a fast decline as what he could make out on his scanner as a ship...or even more then one. He could see a ship landed on an old forgotten heliport. His ship was silent and had already activated its cloaking device as they entered Hoth's atmosphere. Eros landed right beside the one that was there. He left his hatch to his fighter open for no particular reason. Even he, under the heavy armor he wore, could slightly feel the icy wind blow. he walked further down the only path which looked as if it had recently been used. He walked not far before he could sense a faint life presence of whom which he had felt a million times before...a dying Jedi.

Eros was quick to his step and only after a few steps he turned the corner to witness what appeared to be a small battlefield. He saw many bodies, each of which were Jedi. The scene truly baffled him, could the Jedi have really attacked each other?Were they falling apart? Or was it a trap?

When he saw the young boy laying at the end of the scene he knew it was his only chance to find out. He walked over to the dying boy, he was unconscious and needed medical help. Eros bent down and took a knee to observe the boy further. He had acted purely on instinct when he picked the boys limp body ff the floor. He was going to bring him back to his ship, where he could treat him temporarily until they got to the Sith base.

He retraced his steps, the boy in hand, and back to his fighter where he laid him down on a small cot. He bandaged him up and gave him some medicine before removing the boys saber. He didn't want to be killed for showing his weakness. Over and over on the ride home he thought to himself only one thing...What the hell am I doing? Though he had no answer...maybe he wished the Jedi would be convinced to reveal his true potential as a Sith. Only time could tell.

He entered the planets atmosphere and dared not to inform anyone of his arrival. after all was done he would go speak personally with Darth Gradius. He brought the Jedi to his chambers and laid him on the bed, giving him more medicine.

"Sir com-link was just made over the planets atmosphere," A bounty hunter yelled to me. "Sir the ship touched down thirty minutes ago," another yelled. "What why did I not know this earlier," I asked. "Well you were playing on the Xbox 360," one told me. "Oh, yeah I knew that, um, has it left yet," I asked.
"Yes sir five minuets ago, it was a Sith Tie Phantom," another told me. "Its time for my revenge against the Jedi for me and Amy, follow that ship, and put up some Sonar interference. Then put up the invisibility cloak," I ordered them.

Sean woke up in an area he was not familiar with. He looked over to see a man sitting in front of him. The pain within Sean was deep it burnt him to the core. But what hurt him more wasn't his arm but the hatred. His eyes burnt with rage. He felt himself become a sith and he didn't care. He wanted revenge. He would do whatever it took to avenge his master and destroy the Jedi Council. This was the first thing that came to Sean's mind the second thing was the question of where he was. He sat up on the bed he was laying in. "So you saved me.." He said looking over the man. It was obvious this man was a Sith not just from his appearance but his darkness that penatrated Sean's being. This did not scare Sean though. He saw this as a great opporitunity. Sean smiled. He looked towards a mirror near him. His eyes wer bright yellow. He knew this was a sign to the fact he now chose the dark side. He looked at his missing arm. "So you got a robotic arm?" He said with no fear in his eyes. He stood up and looked around.

Shiva had taken a small transport to Riseik sector. It was a small sector on the edge of the outer edge, a little place with only a few inhabited planets. However powerful war lords ruled over these planets in a sort of eternal gang war. She didn't much care for these petty little wars but they were good for business. She had been asked by a particularly strong warlord in control of the planet Cotellier. It was a big job, and offered a lot of money. 12 million credits. She smiled this was going to be sooooo good for her account. The transport popped out of Hyperspace over the desolate red desert planet. The planet itself was a barren wasteland but who was she to judge, Cotellier help one of the galaxies largest Nova Crystal mines. And this particular warlord owned several of them.

The transport landed and she made her way to the rear of the ship to exit. As she walked out on the platform there was a Bith waiting for her. She hoisted her bag and made her way to him. "Miss shiva?" he said questionbly.
"Who else would it be dumb ass, your boss has my details"
"ah" the bith looked startled, He scowled at her but didn't respond to the slight "right this way

She was looking at a big room beneath a section of the spaceport. She was lead into what appeared to be some sort of throne room. A man was sitting on a big red stone chair. Obviously this was the self proclaimed Lord Harken, She memorized everything about him in an instant as she might have to come back and kill him sometime. She had already began mapping out this little instillation in her mind for that exact thing. The man looked at her distastefully. "Your a bit small for this girl, shouldn't you be at home playing with dolls" the room burst with laughter. Tcha another wise guy. "I could have you and everyone in the room dead before you even pick up that rifle hiding in a compartment in the back of that chair." Harken looked stunned, she grinned as she wiped the smile off of his face. He scowled "Do not play with me girl." she laughed to herself, she had already established herself as top dog in here but she would play his game. "You had a job for me, and something about 12 million credits"
A hologram appeared in the center of the room showing a picture of a Rakatan elder. It is discredited among the scholars of this Galaxy but at one point in time his species once ruled a good portion of the planets around here. This man Lord Gef wishes to try and rebuild that in this sector. This is impeding our party's growth. We wish for you to take him out. upon his death 12 million credits will be wired to your account."
She made it appear she was thinking about it. Lord Gef was the leader of another gang like organization on the neighboring planet Ma'ar Shaddom. Obviously these men were in some kind of competition, probably for top dog of these two systems, or it could be something simple. she decided that maybe she could up her pay some. "Very well, however I would like to receive 15 million credits for this." There was a gasp across the room but it was quickly stopped." The man frowned again "girl, you are messing with the wrong man, I..." She interrupted him and rocked back on her feet with hands behind in back "Of course your could TRY to find some other bounty hunter with a perfect record and get them to do this" she knew there was no other bounty hunter with her record since the glory days of the Old Republic. The man look flustered cause he knew it too. "We'll pay you 14 million and not a cent more" She laughed "You have a deal he will be dead within the week" She turned and walked out of the room and she could hear the man cursing behind her. Shiva giggled, once again no one could best her.

She made her way to the spaceport to catch a freighter leaving for the planet. She couldn't believe her luck. There was a very good armory there that prided itself in the top quality goods sold only to the best Bounty Hunters. She had recently qualified for their patronage and wished to check out some of their supplies. And maybe a new gun...or two...or three, She laughed as she sat down in a seat with her ticket. Yes today was a good day. A very good day.

Eros could see the boy woke up by his heavy breathing. Eros turned to the boy and could only notice one thing he hadn't before...he saw the potential of the dark side in him, it suddenly fed off the anger that seeped within the boys soul. Eros was ever so curious about the boy, which was why he had saved him in the first place and even then he saw the potential in him, but this time it was more visible.

Eros began to talk to the boy. "Yes, I am the one that saved you from Hoth. And yes we do have what you need, but you will need to answer some questions I have. Now obviously your ma Jedi...What happened back on Hoth? And why should I spare your life?" Eros thought they were valid questions, but would never tell him the true reason he saved him in the first place...if he could ever figure that out. Eros awaited the boys response.

Sean smirked and looked up to the ceiling. "Names Sean...but I'm planning on being a Sith so whatever I'm knighted by a sith lord..." he said looking around the room. "I was betrayed by the Jedi Council. There snakes!" he said as dark sith energy surrounded him. The static sparked and swirled around him. He never knew he even had this type of power. He tried to control his power and breathed in. The static dissapeared. Sean smiled. "Now I want revenge. I will destroy the republic. Every bit of it!"

"Sir the cloak is not working," a bounty hunter told me. "OK, just have the main and standby weapons at the ready," I ordered them. We pulled up about a mile to the Sith ship.

Eros continued to be more and more intrigued with this boy. The more and more he learned about him the more it reminded him of himself. How the rage and hate he used to have filled his thoughts with the worst intentions imaginable. Eros was puzzled, however, with what the Jedi had done to them...betrayal? Not one of their known tactics. "Hmm, interesting..." He thought, why would the Jedi betray him...an interesting question. "Betrayal isn't really one of the Jedi's forte. What reason did they have to betray you? Or is it you that betrayed them?...don't feel like you need to answer this but it is something to take into consideration...what of your master? Are you sure he was a true Jedi? Or could he have lead you down this path?" Eros wanted the boy never to go back on his feelings, once he did he would have used all of the Sith's resources to train him...and he might be too powerful by then.

Sean's eyes went to rag. "My master! She was betrayed too!" He said as static consumed him. Lights near him blew out. "They betrayed us for no good reason!" He said looking at his hand. "They all deserve to die! The children, the women, and the old ones!" He said standing up. His hair was lifted up by the static. "I need to be knighted as a sith so I can start my planning!" He said as the static toned down a bit. He breathed in and made himself calm. "Pleas...Just." he said and sat back down. "Please just fix my arm and bring me to the Sith supreme council...please.."

"Is it on, do I just talk into it , oh I can't agree more they should all die," I said over the com-link.

Eros wasn't shocked with his reaction, if anything he wanted the anger to rise up in him. "I will repair you, but you must listen. You cannot let your anger and emotions cloud your mind. You must feed off of them...before getting knighted you must have a master. And let me warn you an apprentice in the Sith is nothing like an apprentice from the Jedi. It will be a long and strenuous task, one of which will give you the tools to bring down the Jedi entirely." Eros knew this was not something he wanted to hear, but it was the truth. Even for him being an apprentice was something that was never forgotten. Though it will make the boy much stronger.

"Come let me take you to get your arm fixed up. I know your going through a lot right now, but if you don't listen to your superiors in the Sith they will have no choice but to kill you. It will not be easy to convince them to let you join the Sith, remember." Sean had to learn how to become a Sith and how to use the Dark side of the force. "I will also request that you become my apprentice, so that i may teach you the ways of the Sith properly".

Sean stood up and followed the man. He thought about the what the man had said. He remembered something from when he was young. A story his older brother told him. "Sith always betray each other." He said looking at the man. "You fear nothing I can tell." he said looking at the man.

"Man they don't even hear me was I on the wrong Com-link channel," I asked my tech guy.

As they left his chambers, Eros let out a slight smirk from what Sean had said, and under his breath spoke "You have no idea". Eros was well known throughout the Sith Empire as one of the most deadly warriors, but he would save that information from the boy. Eros was himself blinded by his own interest of the boy to think about the situation...that the boy had no doubt in his mind he wanted to become a Sith. Well if he had any doubts there was nothing anyone could do for him...he was dead.

They reached the infirmary of the base, being well known a nurse stood before them and spoke, "Good evening m'lord, how may I help you?" she looked at the boy behind him with a curious face.

"I need you to repair this boys arm with a robotic arm. And may I remind you, you have no position to ask any questions that are above you. And hurry" Eros snapped back. He turned to let Sean pass and be guided by the nurse.

Sean walked passed the man and sat down on the bed. The nurse smiled and sat him down. She turned around and dug through a drawer and she pulled out a robotic arm. She looked at Sean and smiled she then went up to him. She shot him with a needle and he passed out. When he came to it was like his arm was never missing. He stood up and popped his arm into socket. He smiled and stood up. No one was arounde him so he walked towards a door. The door was labeled *Sabers*. He entered the room and saw a plethra of lightsabers. He looked up to the right. He felt something pulling him to a certian one. He reached up and grabbed it. In his hand he saw vision of the Council falling. A smiled cracked on his face.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eros watched as Sean went into the room filled with lightsabers and followed. Eros gazed on as Sean held a saber...the look in his eye was sweet to Eros, he then knew he had made the right choice in keeping him alive. Eros used the force to grasp the hilt and bring it around to Eros. "You might want to keep your old saber, it can be used to remind you of why you are here. The crystal can be switched out to whichever you want...it will change the blades color." Eros had to talk to Gradius about this soon. "You need to come back to my chambers and wait for me. I must speak to the Sith leader about your arrival and situation. You will find many things in my chambers that might interest you such as books of the ancient Sith. You should begin your training there". Eros had to convince Gradius which he knew would be difficult. eros motioned for Sean to follow him to his chambers.

"OK just fire the main weapons, but don't hit them," I ordered. The laser shot thirty feet away from there ship.

Sean followed behind him towards the corridors. He looked at his old lightsaber and the thoughts of his child hood filled his mind. Sean untwisted the bottom part of his lightsaber and took out the purple crystal inside his lightsaber. He smiled and crushed it. Sean followed behind the man towards the chambers. He looked at his hologram watch that had began blinking.He pressed the button an his brother came up on the screen. Sean looked away his brother and him never got along. He had quit the Jedi COuncil to become a vendor for some reason. Before his brother could get a word in he destroyed the watch.

Eros led him to his chambers once more, ignoring whatever sentimental things he was doing as they walked. He opened the door and let Sean in, "Here you are. This will be a good time for you to meditate deeply about your situation, read upon some of the books I have, they will teach you how to assimilate from being a Jedi. Many strong Sith were once a Jedi". With that Eros left him and proceeded towards Gradius' personal chambers.

Eros activated him com-link and sent a message to Gradius, "My liege, i have arrived not to long ago. I have urgent news to bring to you. I am headed to your chambers so we may discuss this in private".

Gradius was quick to reply, "To be honest I hadn't expected you back so soon. I greet you soon in person". He knew Eros had something important to tell him, they both knew whatever the situation may be...it was serious.

Eros walked through the corridors and up many steps before arriving at his lords lavish chambers that was different from all the others. Eros knew he was one of few to have clearance to enter without anyone stopping him. He opened the door and went straight to the tall man gazing out of his window at the Empire of which he ruled. "Come have a seat Eros", Gradius said in a powerful voice.

Eros made his way beside Gradius, "You know I prefer to stand", Eros replied, kidding around.

"Ahh yes, of course. Any how, what have you found on Hoth? Anything special?" They knew each other well enough to skip formal greetings.

"I have found something most interesting on planet Hoth. Something i was not looking for in the least. This might upset you, but I need you to trust me on this", Eros placed his hand on Gradius' shoulder. "I had found a dying Jedi, amongst even more bodies that wore the Jedi insignia. I found it curious that they were all Jedi, none of which had any blaster wounds so I counted out the possibility of a bounty hunter.I took the boy back here and healed him..." Eros was interrupted by a loud gasp.

"Why have you done this. There may be severe repercussions for such actions...that is the enemy Eros!" He tried to keep his voice low from anyone who may overhear.

"Listen, the boy showed promise...and even after I have spoke to him he continues to show major potential in the Sith Empire. He has already declared the Jedi as an enemy for betraying him and his master. You know how I feel about this, let me train him...I will teach him how to use the dark side of the force and forget whatever the Jedi had taught him." Eros tried to reason with him.

"You must tell no one of this. If word gets out that we are training another Jedi, who knows what will happen. they will start questioning my authority." Gradius sounded much calmer.

"You know I will Sir. He will show promise even to you. Watch." Eros sounded confident in his new apprentice.

"And one more thing, enough of this Sir bullshit. We have known each other for long enough for you to call me anything else, especially in private". Gradius sounded serious about this.

Eros smirked, "Whatever you say, old man". Eros replied in a joking manner. With that Eros patted him on the back and headed for his chambers to give Sean the news. He knew Gradius would laugh at that comment, though he was only kidding.
