Somewhere in the Deep Core, there lies an unnamed planet that is not on any databases.
It is on this planet, where communications are immpossibe, that Jedi Knight Olsa Korain and her Padawan, Jalen Gorplen are doing research into the origin of the Force.
"Master, the scanners are going wild! I believe that we may have a breakthrough!" said the Padawan.
""Yes, we may. I sensed something that was......disturbing......inside the ruins of that temple. According to the incriptions on the doors, this was the equilivant to theJedi Temple to the ancient Jedi..."
"What would be so disturbing in a Jedi Temple?"
"I do not know. That is what worries me. Keep on your guard. Though it is weak, I sense the Dark Side in there....."
"You mean like an artifact that has had its guards broken?"
"That would be the best case scenario...."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the Jedi and her Padawan go deeper into the Temple, the feeling of dread increases.
"This is no artifact. It feels like a Sith......but how? Did one die here? Is that why?" thought Olsa.
The two Jedi traversed to the Jedi meeting hall. Before the Padawan could step past the entrence into the hall, "Stop, my padawan. Do you not see the distortion in the air before us?"
Both Jedi stepped cautiously into the room and moved in opposite directions around the distortion.....
A sudden quake, a massive one never recorded on this planet before, rocked the room. The padawan was thrown directly into the distortion.
When the Padawan made contact, what appeared to be Force Lighting surrounded the room. The padawan was then thrown into the wall and knocked unconsious. The Jedi Knight rushed towards her Padawan, but stopped as the Lightning retracted into a sphere.....
From the sphere stepped the most terrifying man that she had ever seen.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was white.......no, the world was black......
Darth Malice could have been in the void for minutes, he could have been in there for eternity. His mind was assaulted by the energies of the Force. His body in constant pain.
Somehow, the pain suddenly stopped and his vision cleared. The Jedi Temple came into view again.
He reached out with the Force and did not detect any of the Grand Masters that he had come to kill.
He saw a woman standing over fallen figure with a lightsaber drawn.
"Who are you?" said Darth Malice in a voice that seeped venom. He drew his lightsaber and activated it, "I am a Sith lord and you will give me answers...."
"Sith," said the woman, "Are you one of Darth Sideous's?"
"Who is this Sidious?' said Malice as both Sith and Jedi began to circle each other, "I know only the Brotherhood of Darkness."
"The Brotherhood? That was destroyed over 1000 years ago."
"1000 years? It appears that much has changed......I assume that this Sidious is the newest leader of the Sith."
After he said that, the dark energies of Sith Sorcery was unleashed and and the Jedi was thrown backwards against the wall. Malice deactivated his lightsaber and placed it away. It was time to begin interragations.....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After taking all the information that the Jedi knew and disposing the bodies of both her and her Padawan, he walked to the place where he landed his ship.
It was overgrown with foliage, but the ship was still operational. He burned away the trapping vines and trees and entered his ship. There was much to uncover because his mission can not fail.........
He entered hyperspace and jumped carefully to the planet that he had his base on.
He would have to relocate now that everything had changed.............
