"You know the code, but you do not understand it." Darth Mavanger turned to look at the Sith Lord before him. "There are those among the Sith who believe you to be ready for the title of Master. I am to be the judge of that. While none question your ability to fight, I question your loyalty. Your beliefs. Your dogmatic fanaticism to the cult that you've fallen in with raises concern. In the Sith code, we speak of chains to be broken. Not just physical chains, but mental chains. To be a master of the Sith, you must be above the chains of the lesser man. How can you claim you have broken free of yours if your every move, your every victory, is snatched away from you by some false god taught to you by a wayward cultist? There is a reason those that blindly follow gods do not rise above fodder." He set his glass down, his eyes finally meeting Akheron's in judgement. "What separates us is that you are a cultist blindly following a deity that if it exists, does not care for you or your struggles, seeking to be deemed worthy. I am a Master of the Sith Order, and I am the one who passes judgement, the one who people blindly follow. Lord Akheron, the true question to be asked of you here, is whether or not you are too blinded by faith to cast off your chains and rise above the fodder to show the galaxy why it should be you, not some dark god, who passes judgement on the worthy and unworthy alike?"

The force moved with anticipation. Tense strings of soul and passion vibrating like plucked strings of a Chandrillian harp. Alliance soldiers and commandos waiting with held breath, slaves cowering under the next blow and wishing silently for a death they knew would eventually find them. And the blood like flow of evil that pulsed out from each of the slavers. It dripped from their fangs with every breath. Hatred, towards those that they believed lesser than themselves, lust towards those few female slaves that had survived this long. And somewhere in each of the Knights there was the cool and calm resolve of a warrior preparing for a fight that might take his life. Each of them knowing that they fought for the highest cause there could be in a galaxy of chaos. Order and Justice would be fulfilled on this lawless world. And they would extinguish the evil that lay so close to them. They slowly stood, keeping within the shadows, and began to call on the force. It was time.
