OOC: I know its been way too long since I posted. Had some personal things to take care of so I will just die spectacularly!! Karn, feeling his lifes blood slipping from his stomach, slowly looks up to survey the battles going on throughut the room. Wincing as the pain rises in him, he drags himself toward the weapon table, not even sure if it contains anything, but determined to get something and continue his fight. Through his already blurring vision, he can see what looks to be a blaster on the floor next to the table. pushing himself as far as he dare, he attempts to draw the blaster to him through the force. Ever so slowly, inch by inch, the weapons moves in his direction, making a trail in the dust, blood and gore. Almost on the verge of passing out, Karn's fingers come to rest on the blaster, thumbing the power cell pushing it to overload. Clutching it to his chest, he crawls into the middle of the room and smiles as the power cell starts to beep, indicating the inevitable peril to come. he draws his last breath and is incinerated in the forthcoming explosion that rocks the room and everyone in it. his thoughts can be heard by all so strong in hate they are based. By Lord Zars Graciousness, I will be back to settle this!!! As small parts of his body rain down on those still present his thoughts fadde from them and drift away on the winds sweeping through the room. OOC: I'm dead BZ, its your choice if you want to revive me or not.

Not hearing any reply from Kenshin Karn, shunting the pain from his mangled arm, Moves into position, bringin up the reticle on his rifle so that John was cleanly in his sights. Steadying his breathing he makes sure that the center is located where it will do the most damage. Focusing his thoughts, finger barely tightening on the trigger he notices John look his way. Immediately he shifts and fires! Sending two bolts directly at the center of the commmanders forehead. Before the bolts have a chance to travel more than a meter, he is in motion, rolling to another spot in the darkness.watchin as the bolts fly toward the commander. One grazes his head opening up a gash from the front running along the side of his head. The other right behind, slams into his face, Melting the entire right side, and crippling him!

Karn Screamed in pain and rage as the saber exploded taking his hand. He could fgeel every nerve in his body on fire! He cursed himself for being overzeleous. Next time i wont be so lucky. He looked down at the damage done. He could see that when the saber exploded, it at least cauterized his stump, so he would not bleed to death. He looked toward the table again and pulled the Blaster rifle to him, recognizing it as the one he had lost earlier, he gave a small smile. He checked the charge. Full, good. He moved into the shaddows, trying to contact Kenshin through the force. Knowing it probably would not work as his experience was limited at best. ** Kenshin, I can see that you are wounded, as am I. For the moment, let us watch and wait. we will take the winner of this contest, and then you and I can finish ourselves. What say you?** After sending the message to Kenshin, Karn felt drained, but he kept a wary eye about him as he moved through the darkness watching the fight between John and the Commander. He was impressed with thier skill, and knowing his was not up to the task, he tried to send the same message again to Kenshin.

As the Ewok and Kenshin begin to stalk each other, Karn moves into the shadows, extinguishing the saber. He watches as the two wound each other time and again, waiting for his chance... Moving around the battle, he opens his senses, trying to feel where everyone is.. All around him he can feel the others moving, searching. Watching Kenshin move into a darker part of the room, leaving small trails of blood, he moves silently toward the wounded apprentice.. Using his hieghtened sense of danger to guide him. Slipping within a couple of feet of the wounded man, He Instanly activates the saber. The Ruby blade hissing as it extends towards the already weakened oponent. Seeing Kenshin whip around, he aims a diagonal slash bringing the saber down across his chest, barely missing him as he jumps away.

OOC: sorry been so long. Th rennaisance faire around here is open and I work with the scottich regiment out there. IC: Karn watched as the students ripped apart the body, completely destroying pieces and eating others. He could see blood soaked viscera everywhere. As he was attempting to move toward the body, Lord Zar used the force to obliterate the body Covering everyone with a fine mist of red rain. He wiped this out of his eyes, and licks his hands clean. It tasted slaty and coppery, sliding down his throat. Through the force, he could barely catch the thoughts of Sadism as he left the hall. One emotion that he could feel without a doubt was derission. He thought they were beneath him in thier actions and He had to agree with him to a point. Consuming someones body was in some cultures accepted. Where he was raised it was not. So he chose not to partake. He listened as Lord Zar outlined for them the scenario of his "test". He eyed all the weapons as they appeared on the table. He was familiar and extremely proficient with the majority of them, but the lightsabers and sith sword intrigued him the most. He walked over to the table and picked up a saber, looking at its design and wondering what it took to use one. He held it out in front of him and hit the activation button. Instantly the air was filled with a snap hiss and the smell of ozone wafted around the room. The ruby blade was about a meter long. Karn took a few practice swings with it. It felt light and extremely dextrous. He smiled. Somehow when he had picked this weapon up. He had felt like it was speaking to him. Accepting him as it's wielder. He stepped back from the table and watched as the other apprentices moved for the weapons. He remembered those who he had trained with albeit for a short time, and went through the list in his head assessing threat levels.

Seeing Lord Zar's Anger flare intrigued Karn. He had overhearad the thoughts of travail, but paid them no heed. He knew that the apprentice was not remotely ready to "rule the sith". He Focused in on the pair as BZ handed T the saber. One day soon I shall have my own, and I will master it as I will master these new powers. and use them for the glory of the Sith! The thoughts ran through his head like a tidal wave crashing down upon rocky shoals. dreams of power beyond imagining flowed into him, feedsing his bloodlust. He stood back and watched with a smile creeping upon his lips as Travail faced Lord Zar. Karn knew that this would be a sever lesson in pain for the apprentice, and he planned to learn but also to enjoy it.. Immensely..

Following all that went on in the adjacent room, Karn was pleased. I will be part of a grand undertaking. The Sith will Rule again! He watched as John created his whirlwinds and buffetted the others with sand and debris. He concentrated a bit wanting to try out his new found power. An inperceptablly thin barrier came up between him and the swirling sands. PLeased with his test. He kept his thoughts on the shield and began to branch off his thoughts to another task. seeing how far he could spread himself before he could no longer keep things going. his second experiment, was to attempt to bring the shattered desk back together. Slowly the pieces of the demolished furniture started moving toward each other, but as they did his control over the bodily shield weakend. After an intense inner battle he fell to the floor exhausted, and slightly proud of himself for his meager progress. The desk pieces wee indeed closer, but not quite close enough. and he still ahd control of his shield, which he dropped as he sank into a deep trance, to try to replenish himself.

Hearing a resounding crash, Karn opened his lavender eyes to observe the small pile aof rubble that was a desk. He searched the room for others, and found most of them in rapt attetnion to the moaning and keening wails that were emanating from the room housing Lord Zar and the visitor. The sheer amount of power he felt emanating from the room engulfed him. He welcomed it and let it wash over him, filling his very being. He did not completely understand what was hapening, but knew that it bode well for the sith. Feeling content in that, he closed his eyes and let the dark forces continue to wash over and around him..

After watching his orb disintegrate, an hearing the confirmation of his completion of his task, Karn stepped back into the shadows to observe the confrontation brewing in front of him. The Amount of sheer dark power emanating between the two Lords was staggering! He watched as Lord Zar and the newcommer tested each others wills. It was educational.. Knowing that Lord Zar had other matters to attend to, Karn decided to sit and meditate, trying to focus on these new abilities and how to harness them to his will.

Karn felt his hakles raise as John blurted out his statement. He sensed great powers being amassed and centered around the Palace. The energies were strong enough that Karn could feel a prickling in his skin. Not an unliked sensation to be sure, but one that promised intoxicating power! Dark and gruesome thoughts ran rampant through his head, as he waited to be called. He thought of What he would do with that power.. How he would seve it and in turn it serve him, and to what ends... A devilish smile spread accross his face.

Karn rechecked his orb one last time, for his own concience. Then he stood, albeit slowly, as the hours of sitting had cramped his legs. He felt the blood rush to them, filling the fibers of his muscles with millions of pins and needles. He reveled in the pain, letting it fill his entire being. THIS he thought to himself is the only way that we know we are alive He stretched his limbs, feeling the joints crack one after the other, falling back into place. Taking a deep breath, He stepped forward one time, and called out to Lord Zar. Lord, I AM ready. Conviction followed and flowed through the statement. He was possitive that he had completed the mission successfully. And if not, he would be delt with. It was not a fear, but a fact, and he accepted it fully, without resignation. After calling to Lord Zar, he waited. Someone else was with him now. He could feel them. He would be patient and stay until he was called. Discipline was his way of life.

The final particles of his orb in front of him, Karn let a smile creep onto his face. I think I am getting the hang of this. He mused as he clossed his eyes and willed the last bits and pieces together, Feeling them bond with one another completely, as iff nary a scrath had occured. Thinking himself done, he double checked his work, and found, to his horror, there were three particles missing. THREE! He shrieked into the silence of the hall! He set the orb down in his lap and fed on the anger welling up inside him, against what Lord Zar had said. It felt good, as it coursed through his veins heightening his senses to overload. He could fell the particles somewhere on the top level of the structure, sitting precariously on the ledge overlooking the vast barren plain. He focused all his energy toward pulling them to him, but to his utter dismay, the pieces would not budge. He stopped for a moment, and willed himself calm, breathing deep and regular. Cooling of his hair temper to a point where he could use his mind effectively. I must get those bits... but how? He relaxed himself for what seemed like the millionth time, willing his body and mind to become one with the force.. Trying to discern what was keeping those particles from him. At last he saw the problem. Elementary really. A simple wall was in his way. He had not looked beyond the dust to see the entire picture. In his anger he was not focused. He gently picked up the pieces with the force and guided them to him. Winding through the halls of the palace. Down the inumerable stairs, and finally back into his hands. Breathing a sigh of relief, Karn again dissasembled the orb, carefully, putting each shard, piece and or particle into its proper place. When he was satisfied, he re checked the orb again. Using the force as his guide, he went into the orb, searching for any imperfections in it. Through, and around, he went, inspecting every miniscule detail. Finding his work complete, he focused his energy on cementing th orb one final time....

DUring the short time that he allowed himself for rest, Karn was jolted out of his meditation by horrible, blood curtling screams! His hands went instinctively for his blaster pistols, which he remembered upon reaching the areas they used to occupy, had been disintegrated. He willed himself to relax, and search for the source of the screaming. Helet his thoughts float around the room to the other students and found a gap where Sabertooth used to be. Shrugging, he cleared hismind and went back to his task, again putting forth tendrils of felling toward the orb fragments. To his surprise, he could feel a great deal more of the pieces coming to him this time than last.* thinking to self* So this is what it is like to feel the force..His body felt refreshed and energized as he brought those pieces, some smaller than dust to him. He realized that the small chunk he had assembled before was flawed. Cursing his inattention, he broke apart the fragment in his lap, and began again, slowly bringing each piece to its proper place, and making sure that each was present before cementing them together. After what seemed like days, Karn was surprised, but frustrated when he opened his eyes to see an orb 3/4 complete. He began to feel anger and embarrasement wellup inside him, but pushed it down! There is no place for that right now he thought. BZ told us we needed to concentrate on feeling the force before using it to our advantage. As he looked upon the almost finished orb, he felt a sense of urgency to complete it. Almost as if this was a timed trial.... So ignoring the stomach cramps, and other discomfortures, he focused again on the small shards and was a bit daunted when he found twenty or so outside in the sand. He began to meticulously pick through the sand pebbles and dust distinguishing the orb pieces, andbringing them to him one at a time. As they all returned to him, Karn felt as if he was about to complete, something that had been haunting him his entire life. A task that somehow would define who and what he was.

Relaxing best as he could, Karn tried to let his mind stretch out to the fragments, sensing thier locations, but also thier relations to one another. As his mind cleared, he could feel the first piece right by his knees. A Small bit, but having never done anything quite like this he was pleased. He focused his thoughts toward the broken thing and willed it to his hand. As the piece of orb floated into his palm, he felt a great number of the shattered parts start to move toward him, moving slowly along the tendrils of the force. He allowed himself a small smile. He could feel the the many small things coming together in his hand and cementing themselves together. At this point he stopped, the sweat pouring unchecked down his face and neck, staining his flightsuit. He felt exhausted from the strain, and realized that he had a long road ahed of him as he had what seemed to be a quarter of a marble in his hand. He rested himself, and tried again. Searching for the orb fragments outside the room. Suddenly he felt as though his head were in a Vice, Pain spiking through it! He dropped the small bit in his lap and held his head, Chest heaving! Slowly the pain subsided and he let himself open his eyes. He could see al the other students deep intier trances, with pieces floating in and sround the room, amazed.

(OOC havent beeon in a while, will try to catch up best I can) As BZ enters the Room, He felt an uncontrolable force pressing him to his knees. The supeheated air around him hurt like the blazes as he watche dall of his weapons slowly turn to dust and blow swiftly away on the wind.....A bit upset, but not wanting to interrupt he cursed himself for thinking he would be in good shape. *thinks to himself, Damn, That Blaster rifle was a gift. Well, I guess its back to square one* He bowed before BZ, feeling Some Dark power unknown to him at the present Rolling off him in waves. As BZ spoke, Karn began to undertsand why he was called here, and a calmness he had not felt in a lonmg time started to flow through his body....Yes BZ, I am yours to instruct. I now understand what i need to accomplish Karn watched in wonder as the small orb floated toward him and settled into his hand. He could feel a warmth in it, Pulsing regularly. As BZ finished speaking to them, the Orb exploded and somehow Karn could actaully feel where the fragments of the tiny sphere were being pushed to. A smile crept onto his face, even as he felt the sweat rivuelets roll down his back in the flightsuit.. Bowing low as BZ exited the room, Karn Sat where he was, and began to clear his mind, thinking only of the orb pieces and the ultimate goal of getting them as one again....
