Jayno walked through the city trying to be aware to everything around him. "R1 I just have to check out a disturbance in the docking district and then we're leaving please prep the ship," R1's affirmative beep came over the com-link clearly. Jayno disconnected. Suddenly an explosion came from the district ahead of him he covered his face to protect it from the heat. Laser blasts hit the ground near him. "I knew something wasn't right here..."

Matthias Blackmore, dark lord of the Sith, leaned against a wall with his arms crossed over his armored chest. His Echani battle armor, designed to be used against blasters and close-range weapons, glistened in the street lamps. His helmeted head was turned towards a large warehouse in the docks district.
"What's taking so long?" he grumbled to himself, his voice muffled by the helmet.
As if on cue, the warehouse exploding in a brilliant flash of fire and debris. Matthias smiled within his helmet, reveling in the ensuing chaos. Lazer blasts soon began arcing from various places, mercenaries firing at automated defense turrets, which Matthias had gladly hacked.
"Destroy the building," Matthias whispered, recalling his orders. "Leave none inside alive." His orders, passed down through a series of Dark Jedi officials, were rather vague, but Matthias didn't really care; he got to see destruction.

Jayno took but a second to have both his twin lightsabers out and activated them. Holding them backhanded he expertly deflected lasers back to their sources. Lightsabers whirling through the air looked like two arcs. Jayno then followed his senses, seeing that the locals had it under control. He turned a corner and found a group of Dark Jedi.
"Dark Jedi!" he said. Two other Dark Jedi dropped down behind him.

Matthias looked at the little Jedi, a little surprised to see him there. He immediately recognized the fighting stance this newcomer was using, but did not react. He just kept leaning against the wall.
"Hello," he said casually, as if they had just met in a park. "What brings you out on this fine evening?" Matthias, though relaxed against the wall, kept his senses sharp and his body ready to react. His twin lightsaber handles protruded nicely from his hips, allowing for quick access.

"Well if you just want to extend pleasantries... I came this way to see if there was anyone who needed a hand. You wouldn't know of any would you?" Jayno asked deactivating his lightsabers and putting them back on his belt in a way so he could access them quickly. He looked around, he was surrounded. Well if they try kill me they just might discover a few of my tricks, he thought. He quickly scanned the situation again, a padawan might learn quite a bit from my adventures maybe, if I live, I should apply for one.

Matthias reached up and removed his helmet, revealing his pure-white Echani hair and eyes. He smiled and tucked the helmet beneath his left arm and motioned towards the crumbling building. The lazer fire had stopped, and only the beautiful sounds of crushing mortar and melting metal could be heard.
"You could check over there," he said, the firelight dancing in his eyes. "They look like they could use a little help." Pushing off the wall, Matthias put his helmet back on his head. "Of course, they're all dead anyways. If you do want to find someone to help, I'd suggest heading towards your masters, little jedi. I think they could use some sense knocked into their thick skulls."

Jayno merely laughed, "And well I'm at it I'll just take control of the Senate and give it to you. I don't agree with some things that the counsel thinks is important, however what you are saying is that a tyrant shouldn't have been overthrown and that a new tyranny should be established for the sake of peace. The skulls of the Jedi counsel are to thick to crack and it seems the same thing goes for the other side."
Jayno started moving forward and stopped in the centre. "I hope you don't plan to kill me to soon..." he challenged.

Matthias chuckled within his helmet. "You think I desire the overthrow of your little group of jedi you call your higher counsel? They provide such entertainment and opportunities! It would be a waste of resources to destroy the illusion you've all created for yourselves." Matthias looked up at the sky, wondering how much time he had left. "And perhaps you should check on your use of 'tyrant' little jedi. A tyrant is merely an unelected leader. If you really want to consider it, the galaxy prospered when the Emperor was in control."
Time's up, he thought. Matthias began to walk away, motioning for the other Sith to disperse. "Our objective was never to kill, or even harm, you, little jedi," he said over his shoulder, the speaker on his helmet broadcasting his voice clearly. "It was merely to delay you for our objective to be complete. Have a nice day."
With a wave of his hand, Matthias bid farewell to the jedi and used the Force to vault himself up onto a nearby roof and begin the trip back to the Sith hideout. As his feet touched the tops of the roofs, another explosion, this one from a few blocks over, rocked the night. This one was not ordered, but Matthias thought a little extra mayhem would do the people of this city good. The medicine factory was lit up in flames.

Jayno began to walk away, but then the medicine factory exploded and seemed to block his way. The Sith! he thought angrily. He used the force as he jumped to propel him up to the roof after Matthias. "The sith have really done it this time!" he muttered to himself. Jayno reached out with the force and cloaked his presence then followed the Sith. I will defeat these agents of evil they will regret this...

Matthias hummed happily to himself as he danced along the rooftops, his fellow Sith following behind. They were rather silent, solemn people and never seemed to enjoy life. Matthias tried to push their annoying blankness from his mind.
Stopping in a small courtyard, Matthias turned to the other Sith. "We're here," he said happily, motioning around himself. The others tilted their heads, confused. Matthias let out a sigh. "Really? Are you all really that incompetent?"
Before they could answer, Matthias lashed out with a strong wave of the Force, sending two of them flying into the walls, crushing them upon impact. As the other three reacted, Matthias drew his twin lightsabers, but did not ignite them. Calling upon the Force, he used his power to heighten his speed and strength. With an eyeblink, he was among the remaining Sith, his yellow lightsabers igniting and cutting them to pieces before they could so much as scream.

Jayno followed and saw everything. He cut up his own men! the realization shocked him, but why should it he is after all a Sith lord. A sniper that was under the command of a local gang pointed his rifle at Matthias, not seeing Jayno a few centimeters away. Jayno moved silently putting a hand over the sniper's mouth so his scream wouldn't be heard he plunged one of his red lightsabers through the back of the assassin killing him instantly, then withdrew to the shadows once again. For once I can't let a Sith be killed! This one is going to give me answers! he thought as he dropped into the courtyard lightly so not to make sound.
The corpses of the dead Sith still littered the ground. This one isn't just evil Jayno thought as he used the Force to examine the cuts from the shadows. He is also insane! How has he not gotten himself killed already? I'll say this again maybe the dark side of the Force has more potential than the counsel let on. Maybe if I could study it a bit, maybe, just maybe, I might be able to control it. That would be one of the greatest feats the Galaxy had ever seen, a Jedi who could use the dark side for good. Jayno marveled the subject for a moment before returning his attention to Matthias.

Matthias nodded at the fallen Sith surrounding him. "The strong shall always overcome the weak," he whispered, "and you were weak. Your deaths shall not be forgotten, nor mourned. The Council wished your deaths, even if they did not openly speak it."
Matthias disengaged his lightsabers and replaced them on his sides. No blood or ash marred the soft gleam of his polished Echani armor, a fitting mirror of the proper and approving manner of Matthias' comrades' deaths.
"I am the Fist, little jedi," Matthias said to the shadows. He could feel a slight change in the world around him, no doubt someone trying to hide himself in the Force. The problem with a cloaking technique was that, while it hid the user from another's senses, it essentially created a "blank" stop, where nothing seemed to exist. "Remember that. The Council commands, and I obey. Nothing more. I was not commanded to kill you, so I will not."
Turning to the shadows, Matthias removed his helmet again and smiled. "Yes, I am slightly insane. But not by birth. There are items in this galaxy that are far more powerful than any normal mortal has a right to possess." His smile grew darker. "And I possessed one, once. It's left its mark and a small fragment of its power. If you want more of what you already have, then you may follow me." Matthias held up a hand. "But, if you seek this knowledge only with the desire to destroy me and my people, you will find your own doom."

Jayno let go of the Force and stepped out, "Very well. I will follow you," he said solemnly. "But you would do well to remember if I change my mind and try to destroy you, that would not be a result of my desire completely, but it might be the development of true power with desire in the background. Just remember Sith always betray one another."
Jayno stepped forward and activated his wrist-com. "R1 there has been a change of plans go back to Coruscant alone I will come back when I'm ready." A confused string of beeps came through the wrist-com. "Just do it," he said. "Now I'm ready."

Matthias nodded. "I'm glad you grasp the concepts of the Sith," he said. "But remember, you're not a Sith." Matthias grinned and pointed at the jedi's wrist-com. "That stays here. Then, we're off to go find you some real power." With a smile and a wink, Matthias twirled away and skipped down an alley, heading towards one of the shafts that led into the heart of the planet.

Jayno took the wrist-com off and crushed it with his foot as he followed Matthias. As he followed he muttered, "He's right I'm not a Sith, and I don't intend to become a true Sith. I will be a Jedi who has mastered the dark side." Just then Jayno realized he was being led to the heart of the planet. "Where is he taking me?"
