Sith Journey I-The Descent

[Firestar]

Karan almost laughed as they hurried down.
"And what would be a 'normal' explosion in your opinion?" she asked. For the moment, she really felt anxious to help and see if anyone was injured. As they ran, she handed Liam one of her lightsabers.
"Just in case you need it," she explained.

[Max452]

Liam made an embarrassed smile. "I guess you're right. I didn't think of it like that." He suddenly felt very stupid in front of her. Great! Good job in trying to impress her with your concerns. He scolded at himself. When Karan handed him her other lightsaber, he wanted to decline, but realized how hard it was to actually part with something so close to her. He took with gratitude. "Thank you. I will make sure no harm comes to it." he took it, and inspected it as they ran, noting how well it was taken cared of.

They skidded down to the street where the explosion occurred. He spotted several wounded people...and in the cloud of dust...his previous opponent. He let out a snarl. "He will pay for harming innocents!"

[Firestar]

Karan smiled, somehow glad she had taken the lightsaber. It was Corran's. She would never have parted with it otherwise, but she knew Liam needed one after his was taken away.
She stopped in her tracks when she saw the man who had been in her apartment earlier. A mixture of feelings assailed her. She knew he had harmed innocent people, but she still admired his power, and found herself again desiring what he had. She glanced back at Liam and saw how angry he was. She decided to join with him. She ignited her lightsaber, causing a red glow to shine through the dark street.
"Yes, and he will learn to not harm innocents when we are near."

[Max452]

Liam ignited Corran's lightsaber, admiring its gracefulness as he did. He made a note to try and reconfigure his own...well...if he ever got it back.
He smiled a little at Karan's comment as he tried to alienate his angry emotions. "No, not with you by my side. We will make sure that he doesn't get another chance to harm anyone else."

" I wouldn't do that if I were you." A low voice which belonged to Lucas said as he pressed his favorite and strongest blaster to the back of the white haired Jedi's head. He loved it when everyone paid attention to his master and always under estimated him or didn't listen for his silent footsteps. "Doomsday look we have visitors!"

Doomsday turned to view his companion pointing a powerful yet hand held blaster to the back of one of the Jedi he met earlier. His dark laughter rippled throughout the area. "You two again. I didn't feel like killing you before but I will now oh stupid white haired one." Doomsday walked over to the boy and as he planned on slicing the boy's head from his shoulder an idea came. "Let your fear kill you!" He held his hand out and began the Torture of Chargin.

[Max452]

Liam froze when he heard the man behind him and felt the blaster at the back of his skull. He made a mental note that their foe was called Doomsday. Before he could make a move against Doomsday and his annoying banter, he felt the greatest pain in his head.
Screaming, he bent down with his hands on his head; the lightsaber was deactivated when Lucas pointed the blaster at him. "Noo!" He cried out. His eyes grew distant as he recalled his worst memories. The image of his lightsaber passed before his eyes, towards the other times he was caught, and when he was bullied by the other Jedis when he was six...but those barely gave him pain...no...it was one memory...a horrid memory....

Flashback/Torture (lol yay now I can explain his origins a little):

A two year old Liam stood on Rogue Moon, playing with some rocks on the floor.
"Riyo!" A woman's voice called out.
Liam glanced up, smiling. Mommy! His thoughts told him.
"Riyo. It's time to go....we've been here long enough."
Liam didn't quite understand what Mommy was saying, but knew that they were going somewhere...Mommy had that metal stick across her waist....
Riyo raised up his arms and his Mother took him in her arms. "We are going to Courscant! Mommy has to report in and introduce you to them." Liam just smiled, not knowing what she meant, but could feel her love.
Just then, that stupid beeping square went off. Riyo knew whenever that thing beeped, Mommy had to put him down. Mommy put him down and picked the evil square up, turning her back away from him.
"Starlight." A soft voice always spoke to mommy.
"Cloudflyer." Mommy said the name that sounded funny.
"It's been three years. Is your report done on the Rogue Moon? The Council would like to know if they would be able to use the place again for the Padawan graduations."
"Come on, Cloudflyer, can't you just say you miss me?"
Cloudflyer laughed. "Maybe..."
"My research here is done. It took three years....but..." Starlight stopped, her eyes scanning whatever was before her.
"Starlight? What is it?" Cloudflyer asked. Just as he did, a screech was heard in front of Starlight.
"Oh no." Starlight dropped the comm and grabbed her lightsaber from her waist.
Riyo looked up, scared.
"Shh...Mommy is here." Starlight grabbed Riyo and began to run. They continued to run until she reached a cave. It was then, that she was struck down by something.
Riyo began to cry, scared and worried about his Mommy, but Mommy was quick, she protected Riyo from hitting the ground. Rolling, Mommy was able to get back up and check on Riyo. She hushed Riyo...but Riyo wouldn't quiet, because he saw a scary thing in front of them. The big man...but wasn't a man...his nose was gone...and he was really big...bigger than Mommy...and he had a big stick that made awful noises. Mommy put Riyo down and turned to face the bad man. Riyo saw Mommy had some red things dripping from her back. Riyo got scared again.

The Bad man screamed again....Mommy charged....her metal stick glowing white, but it didn't harm the bad man. Riyo began to cry again, he could sense that Mommy was getting hurt more and more. It was then, Mommy fell down...but she didn't get back up, she was sleeping. The Bad Man smashed Mommy's white stick and then looked at Riyo. Riyo cried harder.

The Bad Man went for Riyo...but as Riyo screamed, a white light protected him from the Bad Man's grasp, but not for long. The Bad Man picked Riyo up. Riyo could still remember how bad he smelled and how evil his eyes were. Riyo cried and cried, but Mommy didn't come save him. It was then...Riyo felt something inside him grow...something strong. He wanted the big boulder near mommy to smash into the Bad Man...and it did! It knocked the bad Man down. Riyo cried as he fell, but something slowed him down. He landed on his feet. Running, he ran to Mommy. Mommy gave him a little smile...and touched his hair...
"Goodbye, Riyo." Mommy said....which made Riyo cry again....Mommy's body disappeared....Ryo cried and cried some more. And then he became angry....Riyo wanted the Bad Man to pay...he went back to the rock and felt the power....using it...Riyo made the bad Man pay...until it was red all over....

But Riyo was still sad....Mommy was gone....Riyo knew what he did was bad....he didn't want to feel like that again....so he ran out of the cave...crying....Riyo cried for days....wanting Mommy....but he knew....he was alone.

Flashback ends!

Liam cried out....cried out because his mother was gone....cried out because he had use the Force in a bad way...he cried out...because he knew he was alone. His fear continued to grow as he felt the pain of the memory. The terror he felt when the Bad Man came....when his Mother fell but never got back up....He screamed louder, calling out the name Starlight.

OOC: whoa....intense....I really had no intention of writing in the Vong people...but eh, it kinda just happened...hope it was okay. I meant for the Vong to be a scout...and thats when he found Starlight...no one is named Starlight, right? I don't want to have stolen the name. lol.

[Firestar]

OOC: whoa! That was cool!!!! Uh, when we had to pick a name for Firestar's master, we named her Starlight, but she was just an extra and we could easily change the name. Hahahahaha! The Vong have been scouting! Woohoo!

Karan looked back and the man behind them, who was pointing a blaster at Liam's head. She glared at both him and the man in front of them, whose name was apparently Doomsday.
Then she saw what was happening to Liam. His eyes took on a distant look, and she could feel terror rolling off of him. She got angry...very very angry...and wanted to kill the attacking men.
Karan grabbed the lightsaber out of Liam's hand and thumbed it on, wielding both lightsabers. She worked fast, almost without thought. First she kicked the man with the blaster between his legs, neatly slicing the blaster in half. Then she turned and stepped between Liam and Doomsday. Her eyes flashed with fire, hate burning in her. When she spoke, her voice was low and menacing. The dark side seemed to grasp her mind and take over.
"Let him go, you filth," she said.
OOC: mwahahaha! The dark side reigns!!! lol

[Max452]

OOC: Ooo the Dark Side cometh. lol. yay, glad u liked my post.

The pain was unbearable! It was like his mind was being sliced in layers; like one would slice their steak. Liam fell to the ground, holding his head, crying out to his Mother to save him. All the while, the forgotten memory continued to play over and over in his mind. He prayed that the Force would just end his life...to spare him...

[Kaylayn]

Doomsday enjoyed the pain he was giving this annoying Jedi. His strength seemed to grow as the pain washed over him. He breathed deeply and basked in his full control, but then the girl made her mistakes. Lucas fell down to the ground his eyes watered in pain." I forgot to tell you to wear a cup that happened to me a few years back." Doomsday laughed and tapped his own cup so the knock would resonate. Then he turned to the girl with an evil look on his face that froze the blood of many men. " I can kill your friend easily and you want to threaten me how about I let you bask in his pain." His laughter rippled through the air and the force. He stopped the Torture of Chargin and used Force Throw on the white haired one launching him away so he wouldn't bother his fun if he regained enough strength to fight. "You feel the dark side in you and yet you challenge one with strength you yet to understand!" His laughter was gone and only a cold and mocking tone was left. "Time to die!"

His hand moved out to her as he lifted her up. "What should I do first? Should I crush your heart, ribs, lungs, or your whole body?" His laughter was back and it was filled with a disgusting fun. "Or will you learn to respect the power and let me leave peacefully!" It was not a question she had two choices and he knew what she would choose.

[Firestar]

Karan stared at him with a look of pure hate, even as he lifted her up. When she saw him throw Liam, her anger grew expontentially.
"I would not give you any such satisfaction," she said menacingly. She reached out with the Force and grasped his neck, starting to squeeze.
"If I die, you die with me. I do not fear my own death."

[Max452]

Liam felt the memory wash over him as Doomsday released him. The memory no longer played in his mind, but it was still just as vivid. He groaned from exhaustion and then felt himself being thrown aside. He landed with a thud, but could barely feel it as his mind still ached from the torture he endured. He laid there, not knowing what was up or down..real or fiction. Everything around him was hazy....he could hear his enemy taunt and laugh....as well as Karan's voice....but something was different about it....he closed his eyes....wanting to shrink away in his pain.

[Kaylayn]

occ: Man it sucks I can't just kill her but I got a good idea so they don't kill each other.lol

Doomsday felt the tight choke on his neck but all he wanted to do was laugh. The girl was strong but she knew nothing of what she was messing with. If he chose to he could have crushed her before she tried that little technique and he could do so before she finished but he didn't need to. Lucas still watery eyed yet had regained some sense pulled out another blaster weaker but would knock her around. He aimed and fired knowing it would probably just going to hit her shoulder. Then he went back to recuperating from the throbbing pain.

[Firestar]

Karan continued to face him, but she felt she was losing some of her will. Her concentration was broken completely when she felt a blaster bolt sear through her shoulder, burning it and causing her to drop one of her lightsabers. The pain was too much, even with the Jedi techniques for lessening it that came automatically to her. Just before she passed out, she hissed between her teeth, "I hate you."

[Kaylayn]

Doomsday felt the lessening on his neck before the bolt hit her then it was completely gone. His laughter filled the whole area with its cold and crazy tone. "I love you to darling." He looked at her in the air and decided to throw her next to her friend. As she landed with a thump next to him he walked over to check if they would be upon him soon. The white haired one was still unknowing and she was knocked out. "How about some fun Lucas this will be your pay payback!" He took the girl's hands and wrapped them around the guy and adjusted them so it seemed like they were holding each other. He laughed silently then moved away from them to his apprentice.

Lucas wobbled a little as they moved away from that section of the city but all the pain was mostly gone and he wasn't wincing with every move. He had forgot his training when that pain took over and he should have been able to lessen it so Doomsday wouldn't and told him he couldn't. He was okay with that so he followed his master/friend through the city.

[Max452]

YOU ARE NOT A JEDI! The librarians voice echoed in Liam's ear and reverberated itself over and over. Shut up! He yelled at the phantom in his mind. I am! I've worked hard to get to where I am. I have worked hard to protect people!
Then get up, Riyo. Starlight's voice told him. Get up, and find me....I will be waiting...my son.
Liam's eyes pulled themselves open. Being filled with an odd refreshing strength, he found himself entangled with Karan. Slightly embarrassed on what might have occurred while he was out, he gently pried away from her. Seeing that Doomsday and his sidekick had vanished, Liam noticed Karan's wound. Healing it, he picked her and her lightsabers up and retreated back to his apartment.

Placing Cloudtop on his bed, he made sure she was comfortable, and wandered off to the kitchen to make some food. He sighed as he cooked, wondering what his vision of his mother was, when the Jedi Council will call for him, and why had he forgotten his mother?
