Keiran stopped the pieces of flesh in mid air, and allowed them to float for a moment... before dropping them into the palm of the being's mutilated hand.

 

"I wish to discuss a personal matter with him, one regarding the sith."

"I have received news of a reform in the jedi order. The jedi order has bored me as of late... and it is time I extended my bases and assisted the sith"

 

Keiran reached forward and flipped back the being's hood, revealing it's ugly form.

 

"Now tell me exactly who you are"

"I... have... told... you... already... I... am... the... Sith..."

 

The tall being smiles, revealing rows of yellow teeth.

 

"A... Jedi... sits... before... me... and... offers... his... assistance... to... the... Sith..."

 

A pause.

 

"Why... should... the... Sith... trust... you?"

Keiran gave the man an evil smile

 

"Because I know the location of all current Rebel outposts... however I shall only disclose their locations to BC, as he is the only one I trust right now inside the Sith. So if you wish to capitalize on this oppurtunity, you shall take me to BC."

"I... am... Gaaaantoris..."

 

"Take... a... Jedi... to... the... world... of... the... Sith? Reveal... our... position? Hmm..."

 

The tall being's milky white eyes close.

 

"Trust... you... I... do... not..."

 

"Tell... me... the... location... of... a... Jedi... world... so... I... can... verify... that... you... sit... before... me... with... honest... intentions..."

Keiran smiled

 

"When I came looking for the sith... I assumed they were intelligent. Apparently I was mistaken."

 

Keiran downed the remainder of his drink and stood, towering over the being.

 

"Your hesitation has defeated you."

Keiran reached out with the force... unhindered by the teachings of the jedi... and grasped the being's neck. It's white eyes flickered as Keiran's grip tightened, letting it know full well that Keiran was not up for any games.

 

"Better luck next time. Run back to BC, scum, and tell him how you missed such an oppurtunity. I am sure there are more who can use the information I know."

Keiran stood and left the bar, as the bartender eyed Keiran for payment, Keiran smirked.

"He'll cover it"

 

Keiran disappeared into the bustle of Coronet City, leaving the being with a bill for 10 bottles of ale.

 

---ADDITION AS OF THE 31ST---

 

After leaving the bar, Keiran proceeded to the starport and sat down in the lounge. Keiran sat and idlely watched the holonet, not exactly sure of what he was to do. As the holonet flashed to a broadcast of the latest galactic senate hearing, Keiran almost fell asleep from boredom. The screen then focussed on a new figure who had emerged in front of the senate. Half asleep, Keiran didn't notice who he was, until he heard the name "Keiran Valoria announced in the broadcast. Keiran instantly snapped out of his stupor and let the images sink into him.

"Impossible..."

 

Keiran watched the broadcast progress, and listened to his own speech. When the speech ended, Keiran leapt to his feet and darted out of the lounge. He sprinted down to the hangar that the Ephemeral Strife was docked at and leaped in. The starfighter zoomed out of the hangar and into space.

There is a violent scream in the air as the planet's. Like an etherial comet of icy radiance, this scream shoots downwards, leaving a sickly trail of emotions- hate, disgust, and a towering hubris and pride creating a callousness of inhuman, epic preportions.

 

That presence plunges down into the earth, straining itself to hold together, bound by its empowering hatred. The freedom and toil the journey through the void of space caused it left him weary and tapped at the core of his being, yet... so much work done, so much good accomplished.

 

All for the hunt... Always for the hunt....

 

It feels itself embedding it once more in four dimensional space, the alienation from the pureness of the force and its eddies of darkness. There is almost a mournful shake, yet for him it was more important to continue his fleshly existance, and to wreck greater damage on his enemies.

 

A cybernetic mechanism clicks on as that fundamental spark returns. He is weak, blind, and lungs filled with a thick fluid. The sound of a pump is heard, draining it. He gasps for breath, absorbing the liquid, his eyes openning into a dark blur as the hybernation sickness wears off. His limbs, once lifeless yet alive, start up again. Once more, he was aware in the flesh.

 

The door of the pod snaps open and he stumbles out, sinking to his knees. If not for his bio and cyber enhanced body he would have been unable to walk.

 

Slowly, a deep, menacing laugher echoes in the empty chamber as two icy blue eyes see without seeing. The laughter increases, filled with the beings malice, cruelty, and desire for the hunt.

 

Vladimir Faust was reborn again into his own body.

 

and let the galaxy tremble once more...

 

*****

 

His mission accomplished as Keiran, the clone died, setting him free and defaming the Jedi. Part one of his plan went off smoothly. Already the imperials and SEED were beginning to move. Ah... the beauty of it...

 

Clothed now in his prestine white body armor and full length trench coat, Faust brushes back his thin blond hair, smirking at his own face in the mirror of Reagan's estate. Getting out of the chamber was easy enough, especially with his ship once more at his command. Strolling downstairs, he hears news of anti Jedi riots breaking out even on Corellia, seeds of his own. Smirking, he leaves a note for Reagan, then takes off into his ship, sending the Bhelliom into hyperspace.

 

Reagan:

 

Mission went off successfully. Heading back to Coruscant to attend to business. Love you much and take care of yourself.

 

-Faust

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

It had been a long time since Reagan had heard from Faust, and she missed him, but she wathed their son as he played and learned. her businesses were going well, and money was not an issue. Jarret was growing bigger every day and she didn't realize how much she would love him. She knew it was time to get back out there though... and as much as she wanted to, her businesses could not be run from Corellia... if was fine for a temporary deal, but long term was out of the question.

 

Her adoptive mother had been coming over almost everyday to help out, and so that Jarret would get used to her. They knew all about his father, and still they wanted to care for him as they had cared for her when her parents died. She wished on more then one occasion that she could know more about her parents and family then they were friends with the lianahans, and very nice people...

 

She had just finished packing up all of Jarret's things and they had been shipped over to his new home for the time being, and she was taking today to spend with just her and Jarret. They had played and read, and snuggled till he fell asleep for his nap, and Reagan decided to relax in her room and have a bit of quiet before she left in the morning. As she was going over her travel plans, suddenly Jarret woke up screaming... his screams sent chills down her spine and she jumped up to get him... Running down the hall, Reagan was hit with a cold that went straight to her gut.. and knocked her down to her knees... a wave of nausea went through her and her breath caught in her throat... Faust flashed into her mind... She fought through the nausea, and got up running to Jarrets room.

 

Quickly she picked him up and held him close... "ssssh, it's okay... your fine, it was just a bad dream." She rocked him and finally settled him down again. She brought him back to her room and let him finish his nap on her bed, and wondered what it was the woke him... even more, she wondered what it was that came over her....

After several random jumps through space, the Bhelliom arrives over Corellia and lands at Reagan's, putting itself in her secret dock. Leaving his battered left arm in the ship, Faust hops out, drawing another white cloak and hood around him.

 

He dimly thinks of his young apprentice, on how he was left somewhere on Coruscant. If he survived, or even if he died, then so be it. He would make inquiries later to see how he fared. He was tired and just wanted to see Reagan, then put this long, long day behind him, probably resting up in a bacta tank for a few hours then patching his new body up.

 

He realizes his looks like hell- his armor, now part of his skin, is full of slug holes, his left arm is gone, his face is charred and burned into a deformed crisp, but in spite of that, he has to laugh, appreciating the twisted irony of it all, his blue eyes sparkling like a lake in winter.

 

Stepping inside, Faust's mechanical voice rings out from his artificial voicebox.

 

"Honey, I'm home!"

 

Sweeping past into the kitchen, Faust draws his hood tighter around him, half nervous and half amused at the prospect of Reagan seeing the wonderful changes visited upon him today...

Zara brought The Link's transport out of hyperspace over Corellia. Getting permission to land, she took the transport down to the industrial area of Coronet. Once on the ground, she headed into one of the office's to organise rental space for a time in one of the warehouses. That done, she returned to check on Blackdust, helping her down to the speeder that they kept in the transport and took her to one of the medical centres to get medical attention.

 

"You get seen to, I'll be back shortly."

 

Zara left her there, headed back to the speeder and headed off into the the cities shopping centre. She needed some other clothes, most of her's having been lost, destroyed along with their apartment. The only one's she had left were either in the pantha or in the bag she'd had on the freighter. Besides which, she had something else in mind that she wanted to get.

 

She entered one of the exclusive shops, purchasing a few things, shipsuits, jacket and boots amongst other items. One item she had wrapped up separately before she left. Shopping done, she went back to the medical centre where she had left Blackdust wondering if they were done with her yet, and when the others would arrive.

An encrpted com comes in for Vladimir Faust.

 

Master Faust. The Mandalorian wo was supposed to relay the plan to me, left me in the middle of the battle. With no idea of the plan, I stayed out of the way, keeping a low profile. Now I wait for your calling.

"Well for starters, back to the warehouse to wait for the others. I got what I needed to get."

 

She led the way back to the speeder and once both were settled she headed back to where they'd left the transport. She'd wait for Kat to arrive before going to see KVC Enterprises, although in the mean time they could look at restocking the other ships.

 

"So what are your plans now?"

*Ronin's ship dropped out of hyperspace in high orbit above the familier planet. Last time he was here he fought a particularly powerful bounty hunter- the first to best Ronin. Mike was his name. Impressed with Mike's skill, later Ronin had joined forces with them as an Elite Mercenary- the irrefuted best in the galaxy. Sadly though, they were disbanded when three of the five, dissapeared.

 

Ronin's ship descended through the heavy Correllian Traffic. His ship, the Aptly named Grave Breaker landed next to Zara's freighter in the same industrial park. Ronin climbed out and onto the roof of his ship, where he sat smoking a cigarette and waiting for the others to arrive.*

"I guess I don't really have any plans" black dust replied. "I know I want to find my sister but I don't know how that's going to happen, I guess I'll just stick around and help you guys out".

"Well you're more than welcome to, we've got big plans for the Link"

 

As Zara brought the speeder round the last corner heading back to the transport, she saw that the Grave Breaker was there now. A huge smile lit up her face as she eagerly looked around for her love, finding him sitting on top of it. She waved to him before bringing the speeder to a halt at the hold of the transport.

 

"I'll open the hold, can you park the speeder back inside?"

 

Zara gathered up her parcels, punched in the security codes and entered the transport. She took her parcels through to the living area of the ship, keeping hold of one of them before heading through to open the hold. She jumped down, calling out to Blackdust that she'd be back shortly and made her way over to Ronin...

*Ronin moved over to the edge of his ship and laid down, offering his hand to help Zara onto the top of his ship. He pulled her up with one hand as she climbed up. She landed on his lap, where he sat on top of the blood red ship. Ronin's hand idly touched her back.*

 

" 'ello Love. Fancy meeting you here."

*Ronin grinned. He was pretty certain he knew what it was, but he could never be sure. She could always have purchased him a box of spent Uranium slugs.*

 

"Hmmm... I wonder what it could be..."

 

*Ronin popped the lid open to find a dark crimson leather coat. He pulled it up at the shoulders, clearly he was quite excited. It was a full lenth trench, double breasted with large collar. A long split down the back to allow easy of movement. Ronin couldn't resist pulling it on over his armorweave clothes. Ronin smiled, noting it's excellent fit. Ronin wrapped his arms around Zara's waist, planting a large kiss on her neck.*

 

"Thank you, my dear. I love it."

Zara slipped her arms around him beneath his coat, cuddling closer to him.

 

"I thought you might like it... I had to get it for you as soon as I saw it. Wouldn't be the same without you in your trademark red coat..."

 

She'd seen how damaged his other had been and wanted to get something for him that she knew he'd like... She grinned up at him, mischief shining in her eyes as she wondered what was taking Kat and Brina so long getting there...

 

"Would have thought the Pantha would have been here by now... unless they got too sidetracked"

"Nothing inparticular... unless you could think of something of course..."

 

Zara smiled cheekily up at him. She had noticed how reckless she tended to become in his company...

 

"Got something in mind my love?"

 

There wasn't anything much she could do with regards to the Link until Kat got there...

"Nothing in-particular. It's been too quiet for too long. I don' like it."

 

*Ronin didn't seem to be terribly serious about his proclamation, maintaining a somewhat casual tone.*

 

"Oh, but my lady, that will change soooo- soon. And it will be glorious."

Zara raised an eyebrow as she met his eyes,

 

"Oh? You planning something my love? Hmmm second thoughts I don't think I want to know. I have to at least appear to be legitimate with the Link..."

 

She winked at him, knowing all to well his line of business. She'd keep up the appearance of being a legitimate business woman, along with her brother. They needed to get their floating base and casino up and running... then they'd be raking in the profits...

 

"I wish Kat would hurry up and get here..."

In the panther, the claxon alarm went off, bring Kat back to reality with a start. Looking around him in a state of utter panic, he realised where he was, and what was going on.

 

Wow, good on you mate. You managed to fall asleep the second you get a chance to really talk to her alone. Congratulations

 

Shaking his head, and grinning sarcastically at his own stupidity, he said to brina

 

"Sorry about that. You should have woke me. I need a good sleep more than i thought." Smiling at her, he pushed forwards on the hyperdrive controls, gently dropping them into sublight speeds. As they approached the planet, he brought up a scan on a monitor, pinpointing the freighters location.

 

Sliding smoothly down through the atmosphere, Kat brought the ship to a halt, hovering a few feet above the surface on the repulsorlifts, before slowly turning them down, gently bringing the ship to rest.

 

Offering his hand to help brina up, he moved out of the ship, and saw ronin and his sister sitting on top of the gravebreaker. Winking at them, he pulled a small hipflask, a cigarette, and a metal lighter out of his pockets. Lighting the cigarette, and taking a swig, he moved over to the grave breaker, and tossed the hipflask full of corellian whiskey to ronin. He would have to get a few bottles of the stuff while they were here, he was running low.

 

"Are you two going to stay up there all day, or are we going to get things moving? I want to get a base of operations, or at least somewhere I can pass out for a day or two. I havent had a good nights sleep in a long time."

Sitting at his Corellia HQ, the HQ really for KVC Enterprises, Kheldar takes a more relaxed approach to the whole Coruscant debacle. For the time being this was actually hurting, though with KVC Construction's contracts coming in... things were looking up.

 

Gazing out over the clear blue skies, Kheldar turns away from his office. Though the Last Call reminded him of the seedy, alley way corners he started out doing business in, he was in his heart of hearts, a Corellian and longed for his homeworld. And here, overlooking KVC Enterprises Corporate offices and those of the near-by CEC, he knew he was the commerical king of Corellia, stirring his pride (even hubris, but Kheldar was sure he knew his limitations). Leaving his office after making a few business calls and contacts at the CEC about the reconstruction of his ship, dropped off a couple days ago, Kheldar heads out, on foot, for the docks to see to his ship and help with the reconstruction efforts. Despite his many faces, Kheldar still never grew out of being the incorrigable young engineer that left on his own to make a living selling resalvaged imperial ship parts on the black market.

 

As he's walking through, stopping for a bag of donuts for the construction crew as a kind of thoughtful token to get them through on the job (He'd probably go out drinking with them later after it was done), he notices another very familiar ship and two very familiar people (unfortunately recognizing the ship before the person sitting atop it, but it wasn't too much of a delay).

 

"Grave Breaker?" he exclaims, then corrects himself. "Hey! Ronin!" He runs up to the ship, bag of donuts in one hand, waving with the other, almost like a young child in his enthusiasm. "Hey Ronin! And Zara?! Hey! Glad to see you guys are okay! I can't believe the Link was standing after what happened! How are you guys doing?!" Reaching them, he notices all the other Link memebers. "By the way," he offers, breaking into a grin, "I've got donuts!"

Shaking his head at KVC's ever present enthusiasm, Kat grinned, and said

 

"Luckily nothing too valueable was damaged, or broken. I dont think I can say the same for anyone else, and i get the feeling that it might have been a rather expensive fight for you... Dont you own the coruscants insurance?"

 

The grin slowly faded off of his face, as he recalled the aftermath of the shields lowering. They were probably the luckiest people on the entire planet. Everyone else was either killed, or they lost family and friends. Not to mention the injured. Shaking his head again, he was no longer grinning.
