Cineon Yahn

Shadow Lightning flew over the surface of Gala. He had been following the reports closely of the Sith attack on the Rebel base, so he had come to get in on the action. It wasn't his style to come in after the hard work had been done, but he justifed to himself that he's been out of action for some while and should ease back into duty. Unfortunately for him, however, he did not know where the Rebel base was. He had been flying the surface of Gala for some time now, looking for it. "We should have seen it by now, Shadow." Shadow agreed. She informed her master that it detected an approaching structure that could be the Rebel base. "Capital! How far away is it?" --- "Oh yes, I see it now." Lord Barabbas brought the ship down closer to the structure in which his ship alerted him to. "This is not a Republic post... this is a Jedi temple." --- "No, no. This will do. In fact, this is just as good, if not better." He brought the ship closer to the temple so that he could jump out near the entrance so the Jedi couldn't attack him from afar, but the temple recognized his ship and quickly attacked him. There were dozens of tiny droids that had latched onto the ship, along with batteries that had opened fire. He turned the ship around, realizing he couldn't approach from the air. He had gotten out of the range of the batteries and other long range weapons, but there were still droids damaging the ship itself. He opened the cockpit as the ship was losing altitude. He jumped out of the ship and fired lightning at the droids, frying them off the "hull". The droids were all destroyed, but the ship was hurt and crashed into ground, Barabbas landing several yards behind it. He took cover behind a hunk of metal, waiting for some Jedi to come charging at him. He waited for some time, but nothing happened. Maybe no one was paying attention and realized that an intruder had come. He got up and began walking to the entrance. Maybe he could just stroll in. The security system of the temple saw him approaching as he reached the main gate. "Welcome, Master Darkfire." The shape-shifted face of Aryian nodded to the computerized greeting and strolled into the Jedi Temple. It was completely and utterly unattended. "This will be most easy," said the voice of Aryian Darkfire. He made his way to the temple's central control.

"My imminent and very painful death? You're not the Sith you once were. You're a shell of your former self and you still think you're one of the best. You're not. I'm not the one who got killed half an hour into his own invasion! I'm not the dumbass that pulled all Imperial presence from the strongest fortress in the galaxy for decades! Go to hell!" Cineon pulled out his lightsaber and cut into the console receiving the transmission. He got out and went to his ship to go kill some random Jedi to calm himself.

OOC: The governer of Naboo was able to send a message to Queen Amidala without knowing where the ship was. You took Imperial ships and equipment and as such I could easily send a communication to you without knowing where you are. I suggest you hear me out.

OOC: Haphaestus, you do know know me by the name of Cineon Yahn and so don't act like you do. Darth Barabbas is all that you know. IC: A transmission from Cardia came for Geki, from Darth Barabbas, requesting access for hologram communication from Geki.

All system power had been returned and Cineon decided to be diplomatic with Geki. By his actions it was apparent that Geki had no desire to lead the Empire, that he'd rather be chasing private sector pursuits. He sent out a transmission trying to communicate with Geki.

As a result of the power shutting down from the Imperial stronghold, the Sith Training Academy also lost power. An EMP was launched and the Imperial base began to restore power. The temple would be one of the longest for systems to return to full power, but it would be returned before the day was over.

Sith Lightning continued to fly around outside shooting down various droids to try and keep them from inside the tower so her master could work in peace.He was at the main console and was initiating a massive system shut-down. He would get rid of this pest-like invasion in an instant. Weapon systems went down first, unfortunately. Were it anything but droids the enemy would have been alerted by the main defenses shutting down for no apparent reason. Next the surrounding building and training facilities went offline. Finally the entire system was offline and no power was running through the temple. Lord Barabbas then opened his lightsaber and disconnected the circuit inside. Sith Lightning, launch your EMP now. The ship swept down into the middle of the droid invasion and the EMP rippled through the area, disabling all the droids, falling down in an instant. "What a fool, attacking Cardia with droids. The Hutts will pay for this insult." He initiated the power re-connect and sat patiently while systems came back online. He re-connected his lightsaber and put it inside his cloak. Kakuto would undoubtedly be returning shortly and once systems were back online he would confront Geki.

Sith Lightning entered the Cardia system and he brought the ship down to the main tower. He got out of his ship and walked into the abandoned station. Disgusting. Once in the control room he first deactivated the evacuation signal and instead issued a new signal, demanding that ALL Imperial troops return to Cardia immediately. He then went over to fire control and re-activated the Ion cannons that were in place to fire on the Hutt ships that were trying to pillage his base. He had felt Kakuto's presence when he arrived. He sat down and waited for Kakuto to do his work while he himself contemplated making a holonet message declaring himself Emperor again... ((I established this base. The Emperor after me was my own Admiral and the Empire was still under my regime until recently. Since Cardia has not changed much since my departure I still know all of the codes to do such things.))

Barabbas was sitting down browsing the Holonet for news. He learned that the Hutts were trying to loot... Cardia? Geki abandoned Cardia. Yahn got to his feet in a fit of white rage. "No... no! I've had enough of sitting by in the shadows and letting events take place while I just sit around. I knew he was a bad Emperor, but I didn't know he abandoned Cardia for no reason. I'm going to go kill that son of a bitch, take back what's mine, and restore Cardia for the fortress it's supposed to be. I'll report in when I've secured Imperial holdings." Barabbas walked out of the chamber fuming. He was no longer needed here. His first destination was Cardia to assess the damage.

Cineon's interest peaked at Yuri's statement. "Yes, what of the Empire? Last time Geki was Emperor he ran their war machine into the ground and I had to re-build the entire armada from nothing. My old Master and I are the ones that made Cardia the all but impregnable fortress that is feared as it is today. Had I not been ordered to leave the Empire to repair the ill-fated Serpent Order I'd be Emperor still. I will not sit idly by and watch that madman destroy the Empire a second time."

Lord Barabbas was only simply amused by Oblivion, vocally expressing so even. He became serious and looked at him. "Lord Quietus' plans are of common interest to your desires?" Disgust was evident in his voice as he pointed out the obsurdity of the statment. "Even knowing that I may be the only one that thinks so I'll speak for the entire room by saying... who cares about your insignificant plans?" He knew that the insult he spewed was uncalled for and was worthy of fighting over, but he did not care. Whether he got a tounge-lashing in return or they fought over it. Either was fine. In fact, fighting someone right now would actually be rather nice. "I will speak to our Master's defense in this instance. He stepped up first. The rule is his. The only two men that can contest his rule are myself and Lord Ryu himself, as we're the only two men with any kind of claim to the throne." He knew that his brash and arrogant statements would make him no friends in this room, but he did not care, he was not here to make friends, nor was he planning to make his move to regain his throne.

Upon being escorted out of his personal chambers the changling put his hood over his head once more. He did know of these Sith. For some reason he had the overwhelming desire to think of them as weaker than he. The only other Sith here that he really recognized was Alora. "Amazing. It's like I speak it... and it happens!" He chuckled to himself. It would be best not tease a seductress, even if he was heartless. In his mind Cineon knew that it was he who deserved to be the Dark Lord of the Sith, not Quietus. He brought about the assasination of Darth Havoc, his Master. Had Havoc completed Barabbas' training things would have been different, but he was not stupid. Had he attempted to remain Dark Lord Kakuto would have killed him. If Kakuto died then the throne belonged to him. He kept these thoughts buried in himself, but his rage was immense. Perhaps his time would come.

Cineon shrugged. "As long as they're still warm, but I'd have to actually be desperate for some to do that... and I've had Alora." There was a long awkward silence. "But then again... who hasn't?" He let out a hearty laugh.

"Well, this meeting obviously isn't happening anytime soon. Are there any women on this ship that I might be allowed to violate and rape?"

"Well you didn't kill your Master like I did to become Dark Lord, so I find you weaker in comparison to the Dark Lords of Old. As for the presence outside, I'm not sure. The one called Nurgle and his... followers, seem oblivious to the disturbance. Whatever it is either chooses to only allow us to know it's here, or we simply are the only ones powerful enough to sense it on any level. If it's something tangible, that is, and I suspect it is. If it is a being with the Force at it's beckon call it is neutral. Neither dark or light... and only one religion fits that bill, if I may dare to say so." He grabbed at his hood and pulled it down, revealing his face. "There's more than strange things in space that is troublesome here," he said looking in the direction of the main chamber where the other Sith had gathered.

"Yes, my Lord. I have sensed a disturbance in the Force. Some wizadry unfamiliar to me is dwelling nearby, out in space, outside the ship. It's disturbing. I sense a presence in the Force, but it is an unknown entity and it is not inherently good or evil. I thought that maybe you should know about it."

The unmistakable presence of Darth Barabbas gradually got greater and greater as his ship Force Lightning approached the Heretic. He landed his ship in the hangar bay and promptly made his way to the chamber in which the Dark Lord had summoned a meeting. He had never met Quietus before, but he knew enough about him. The former emperor bowed his head slightly with disgust barely visible on his face. "Greetings my Lord."

Darth Barabbas used the Force and pulled the ship back to the planet, sending it into flames as Achzet was thrown from it. Darth Barabbas lifted several sharp rocks off the ground and let them skim the surface of his body, flailing Achzet, exposing machine and nerve. He picked Achzet off the ground with his bare arms and threw him onto a crucifix. He drove glass shards through his wrists, ankles, and stomach to keep him attached. The crucifix was stood erect and shoved into the ground. He threw a ball of fire at the base that would slowly engulf the entire cross. He turned his attention to Ekim as his former Master lit up the sky. "You would do well to leave here." ((Achzet asked me to kill him in this post.))

Lord Barabbas' eyes flared with yellow intensity. This low life piece of trash just ignored what had been done to him. Fight? There will be no fight!. Lord Barabbas let his power in the Force be known. He lifted his arm and Achzet was in the air. Achzet was once again attacked with Force lightning. "Why must so many get in your way? Do you have any idea who you are ****ing with!? You will suffer for your arrogance you little maggot!" Achzet's entire body was being coursed with the lightning now, making Achzet go through excruciating pain. He was lifted up by the lightning and was hurled toward Darth Barabbas' lightsaber and cut Achzet's arm off as he flew in at him. He spat right in Achzet's face and kicked him in the stomach, flipping him onto his back. "Any last words?"

((Scottie, you might want to read my post))

An ill feeling fell on Cardia and instantly it was known that something was not right. There was of course a disturbance in the Force, but it wasn't a disturbance that felt wrong. It created a feeling of emptiness. He was back. His dreams had been dark, as they always were. His return was iminent and the world had not known him for far too long. Darth Barabbas. He was ruthless and believed in his own philosophy, not the Sith's. He was loyal to the Dark Lord, but he would do what he wanted. He was not particular to Jedi and Sith; he could find an enemy in anyone; he was not afraid to quarrel with a brother. A titular Serpent Lord as he did not devote himself to learning of the Dark Side and made lives miserable. He saw two new young Sith, in petty argument. One showed promise. The other was a bastard. He was feeble, week, careless, and disrespectful. A sorry excuse for a Sith. The man from the dark side lifted his hands up and sent lightning across the field of battle, breaking both of them apart from a battle they were about to jump into. The one who was shocked of his brother attacking him was put at bay, as the scum Lord Barabbas sought was at his feet. "The one they call Achzet..." He activated his lightsaber that ignited with a blinding flash of light. "Time to die." He lifted Achzet up by the throat using the Force. No matter how thought this feeble apprentice of his own skills, he could not break the strangle of a feared Sith Master. "If you want honor from the man who has shattered lifes of thousands... millions, you will not get on your kness and beg for mercy... you will submit and stand on your feet to accept your fate. What say you?" The Sith threw Achzet to the ground, more then prepared to deflect any sort of futile counter attack. ((Now I am aware that Scottie challenged you to a modded duel, but it's been three days since his challenge you have not accepted. In light of this, Tarrian has given me permission to go forth with this attack.))

Cineon walked up to Kakuto and Phillep. "Master Ryu. Is there anything you would have me do?" He ignored Phillep for what his troops did to him on Coruscant.

>>>Lord Barabbas had made his way to Kamino and quickly found the presence that was beckoning to him subconsciously, like a splinter in his mind. He had discovered his location and discovered him to be Sith.<<< Hello, Master Sith, >>>said Barabbas, seemingly coming from no where.<<< I've noticed that you appear to be training new seeds of darkness. Perhaps we can help each other?

>>>Darth Barabbas went to his ship. He was angry, for some reason or another, his slumber was ended early. He sought out what was left of Tzeentch's presence as he felt compelled to go to Kamino. He got into his ship and left immediately.<<

>>>The world was not dark enough for the linking of those who felt darkest. His slumber caused him to miss the war and he awoke feeling the absence of the divine presence of Tzeentch. He did not awake at first. Instead his slumber ascended into meditation. His body floated into the air as the Dark Side of the Force filled his body once again, making him feel alive again. He landed on the ground and opened his eyes. He was now awake. Light had his dreams been of late; good was being allowed too much breathing room.<<< They will suffer me once again! >>>The newly awoken Darth Barabbas put on a new white cloak, meant to mirror his tainted spirit. He walked out into the academy, contemplating what he was going to do next.<<< OOC: Edit, things didn't work out in a planned storyline.
