Setting
Alcor set his starfighter to auto-pilot as they hovered above the research center in Tipoca City, before opening the cargo door and jumping out, diving through the glass window.
"What the?" Riis said as he drew his lightsaber, watching the hooded assailant draw his as well. "Who are you?"
"Nice to see you too," Marko said, lowering his hood. "Old friend."
Marko dove at Riis and knocked his lightsaber out of his hand, before trying to finish the Jedi Master off. Kormani force pushed Alcor off of him and grabbed his lightsaber, backing out of the door as Alcor recovered.
"Marko!" Riis yelled as he turned to face his old friend. "Why did you do this?!"
"Because the power that the Dark Side has," Marko replied, walking towards Riis. "I love it!"
Marko stabbed Riis through the kneecap and pushed him to the ground, stepping on his throat.
"Now," Marko said. "It's time to say goodbye to this life, Kormani."
Riis croaked a word, before Marko stabbed through the chest with his lightsaber.
Marko sheathed his lightsabers and signalled for his starfighter, before jumping off the bridge and into his starfighter.
It all went well until a wave hit his ship and knocked a piece of panelling into the other starfighter that Sovin spotted. Now he had to worry about being detected AND the annoying AI screaming at him about hull damage. Why he didn't unplug it from the speakers was beyond him, but now and again it had a use. Not like the ship looked any better than it held together.
Now something about that other fighter was bothering Sovin immensely. Like their was a pull in the force. From interecepted transmissions, he was sure that other force wielders would be around Yavin IV and Coruscant, but now and again people were wrong.
Now Sovin knew what had made him so uneasy. This human standing before him was emanating a dark and violent feeling, something Sovin was more than used to, but he wasn't emanating even a single positive one. That had to be what was screwing with Sovin.
Unknowing of this person's intent, Sovin reached out with the force, activating the two droids, which were the standard combat droid from the Clone Wars and had been heavily upgraded by Sovin, causing them to expand and stand up. The droids had their rifles out, but not yet pointed at Marko. Both are a silver color with improved motors and processors allowing for higher accuracy shooting, mobility, and durability.
Sovin had his hood down, revealing a near bald blonde head, with pasty skin, and dark blue eyes, that sat at 5 foot 10. His stare was eye to eye, his vibroblade's handle sticking out slightly from under his hood, as Sovin asked "Who are you and what do you seek?"
"And I'm wondering why a lone trader would have such a vibrant pulse in the force."
Marko noticed the droids and lifted one in the air, before crushing it's head with his force choke, sending the remains into the other droid.
"Now, are you going to answer my question or are things going to get ugly?"
Sovin then looked at Marko again, now suddenly calm, before saying "What would make you think I was a trader? I am simply an observer." He also couldn't help but wonder if, and when, this man would attack him. He was ready to draw his blade at a moments notice with the aid of the force.
"Me," Marko chuckled. "The new Dark Lord of the Sith, and I have an offer for you, Dark Jedi, join me and return to Korriban with me, and we will overthrow the Republic."
Sovin was contemplating on watching the fight this Marko would bring to the Republic, watching to see how well he could recruit others to his cause. If it is good enough, Sovin planned that he might approach Marko and see that if he could acquire an outer-rim planet for his clan to rule and call home.
Marko smiled as his plan came together.
"I offer you a chance to be protected under the New Sith Empire, you and your clan can come and stay on Korriban, if you so wish, but if you refuse, I have no choice but to destroy this ship and the contents inside, as no-one may know the conversation we had here today."
Sovin immediately began to hold the fighter in place with the force, building up enough power to launch the ship clean through the side of the building and into the main room, destroying almost all of the easily replaceable front of the ship. Little did it matter to Sovin that the front was gone. The back was still intact, and he had enough of the droids to get them rebuilt. Now came the concerns as to how the denizens of the building would take Sovin's actions.
Sovin grabbed his blade and hood, pulling the face protector down to prevent his face from being known. He slowly and cautiously walked out of the wreckage of his ship. He made sure that he was ready for both peace and a fight.
The Kaminoans backed away as Sovin walked out, mystified at the strange species. All the species that he had dealt with were similar in proportions to humans, and never anywhere near as tall as these unique creatures.
Three squads of clones stood just outside the room, ready to take down what looked to be a Sith, but they all got the strange feeling that he was something else. No, they all knew he was something other than Sith. The first squad sent two clones to apprehend the man for questioning and punishment. Surprisingly, he gave little resistance, until a clone tried to take his sword. That clone is now missing all his limbs. Still alive, but no limbs.
