Don't Fear the Reaper

*There had been a massive shift within the Dark Side of the Force, and all of the minions of the Sith Order could sense it. However, no one sensed it more than Darth Lettow. A great storm of chaos was coming, and he knew that his time as the Dark Lord of the Sith would soon end. However, should he be challenged, he had a back up plan. Darth Lettow had a very specific agenda of what he wanted to get done, and he would see it through whether he was the Dark Lord of the Sith or not. Entering the Valley of the Dark Lords, he kneeled down at the edge of the cliff overlooking the vast mountains and began to meditate. Something was coming, and he was sure he knew what it was.....*

*Moving through the halls, he took what was sure to be his last look at the Sith Academy. So many memories flashed by, but he knew that it was time to move on. He no longer needed the Sith Order, nor did the Sith Order need him. The doors to the Obsidian Throne were thrust open as he approached and within moments he was, for the final time, sitting upon his throne. He had summoned Darth Calamity and the undead abomination known as Netharion to his throne, as he knew one of them would be the future of the Sith Order. As he sensed them approaching, he moved forward in his throne.*

"And so it begins....."

.:.Calamity felt his master's bidding from within the walls of korriban, his dark call echoed in his ears. Calamity sighed, wondering what the call was for. The heir burst through the doors to the throne room, his dark eyes scowling upon the throne which darth lettow sat upon... which would soon enough be his. Calamity was calm, not feeling up to making a big deal about his entrance. His presence was still hidden from the force, his arms folded firmly across his chest. He spoke darkly, with a rough tone.:.

What is thy bidding, my master?

*Shen Ku, Arch Priest of the Sith Order had already come to watch fate and destiny of the Sith Order. It was time that Lettow had stepped down from the throne...he could feel it from the Force. Lettow was getting tired and needed to rest. Calamity or Netharion would now take the throne. Hopefully whoever led would be just as a good Dark Lord like Lettow...or so he hoped.*

*Alex Raider stood along side Shen Ku, waiting to see just who was worthly of the Obsidian Throne.*

In came Netharion. A great black shape agaisnt the courtyard beyond he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of despair. In he came from the vast Obsidian Gates, and all soon felt a bitter cold creep over their heart. Netharion was robed all in black, and no longer was his countenance covered in blight. No, he was now huge and threatening. A blackened crown of steel he bore, and naught was there to be seen between rim and robe save only a deadly gleam of eyes. From his unworldly realm he had returned, bringing ruin, turning hope to despair, and victory to death. Now halting a few paces before Lord Lettow and Calamity he looked them up and down and laughed. "Is there anyone here with enough wit to understand me?" he asked. "Not thou at least." he mocked, turning to Calamity with scorn.

"Silence, you sorry piece of filth!"

*He spat the words out, anger in his tone. A king he had been on a carven throne in many-pillared halls of stone with. With a golden roof and silver floor, there had been runes of power upon the door. But, he would no longer hold that power. He no longer needed it. He had pressed hard to become the Dark Lord of the Sith for one reason, and now he knew that he did not need the Obsidian Throne to finish his task. He stood, looking down at the two who would fight to sit where had had sat.*

"It is time, brothers, time for the Sith Order to once again move forward....only without me...."

*His eyes rolled into the back of his head as he rose from the ground below him. His molecules began to fade from existence as he rose higher until they disappeared completely, swept away by the winds of the Force

Moments later, he completely reappeared almost two hundred meters from the Obsidian Throne into the Docking Bay, far from where the battle would take place. Using the power felt as if someone had knocked the wind out of him, sending him to the ground. He slowly moved into the chair of his vessel and blast into space, heading far from Korriban. His time with the Sith was over, but his journey was only beginning....*

.:.Calamity snarled, not feeling that the person infront of him deserved his time. In a flash, two red blades were in the hands of calamity, the pulsing red lights shining brilliantly in the darkness of the throne room. An evil smirk of determination appeared behind the mask of the sith lord as he looked at the pulsing blades of blood. He swirled them in a flashy motion, the redness of the blades seeming still in the dark air. The air around calamity seemed to still as the rightful heir stood, awaiting his adversary. Thunder seemed to boom in the distance, echoing a dark chant throughout the hall of obsidian. With every moment that passed, darkness rumbled throughout the vast spaces of the dark halls... and the future of the sith order was set in motion.:.

Sovereign · Jul 20, 2006

"Prepare thyself, Calamity! After thee complete and utter defeat, I will not slay thee but bear thee away to the house of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flash shall be devoured and thy shrivelled mind be left naked! And then thee shall endured the slow torments of years, as long and slow as ours arts in the great academy can contrive, and never be released!"
Even as he spoke the earth rocked beneath his feet. Then rising swiftly up, far above The Throne Room, a vast soaring darkness sprang into the sky, flickering with fire and seared with lightning. The ground groaned and quaked. The obsidian throne swayed and tottered, and the mighty walls crumbled; and all could hear a drumming rumble, a roar, a long echoing roll of ruinous noise.
"This is my hour, die now and curse in vain!"
Netharion charged at Calamity, his lightsaber thundering down upon him at the likeness of a descending, crimson cloud. His fate was sealed; the final nail had been hammered into the coffin: Calamity's end was indeed nigh.

lordember · Jul 20, 2006

.:.Calamity's cold, chilling eyes locked onto netharion, who was charging at him with his saber ready to nail into calamity. Calamity, surpressing a grin under his dark mask, flourished his sabers. In a blur, the bloody lights of calamity's sabers were soaring through the air, tainting each molecule with an itching, suffocating darkness. The sabers intertwined like a wall of vines, making a strong "X" formation, locking netharion's saber in place.:.

You talk so big for someone who's skill is so little.

.:.Calamity smoothly spoke, looking at netharion, who was locked between calamity's two sabers. In a swift motion, the left saber stroaked netharion's saber to the left, leaving the body of the sith lord wide open. The dark eyes of calamity glistened as he went in for a killing stab on netharion's open body, the left lightsaber of calamity awaiting eagerly to parry anything.:.

Swiftly Netharion laughed again. "Wasted words! Thou fool. No one may hinder me!"
And with that he spun his lightsaber round, deflecting the incoming blow.
Netharion gave out his deadly cries and launched a simultaneous attack: a swift stroke he dealt with his lightsaber, skilled and deadly and as the crimson blade seared through the air, Netharion demanded the Force to awnser his bidding and from the wreck of the Chamber, stones were thrown at Calamity's back. Trapped between blaze and rocks. Netharion had indeed taken the proffered prey in jaws of steel.

lordember · Jul 20, 2006

.:.Sensing himself being cornered, calamity drew upon the darkness of the force. Slightly crouching, he propelled himself upwards, above the attack of netharion, above the the stone which was thrown. Backflipping, he landed swiftly on his feet, on the floor of obsidian stone. He saw the many rock rushing towards netharion, his own attack used against him. Drawing upon the force, calamity sent a powerful force wave plunging into the debri and stone, stirring up the momentum, driving the debri and stone into a dark rage towards netharion.:.

Netharion stood confident and stern. The fire in him seemed to die, but the darkness grew. He suddenly drew himself to a great height and easily smote the few stones that had been thrown in molten fragments. Then, his wrath blazed in consuming flame, and his might rose like a vast black spire of smoke to choke Darth Calamity.
"Fall into the nothingness that awaits you!"
Now piercing the smokes and haze, burning ominously with a unforgiving dark rage, Netharion began walking toward his quarry and all about him was dead, silent, shadow-folded, as though waiting for some dreadful stroke.

ooc: I am assuming you aren't attacking me

.:.Calamity charged forward, red blades surging through the air like a flagship jumping into hyperspace. The red blades of blood, a symbol of darkness seemed to snarl in a taunting dance as they neared their foe. One blade came straight on forward, urging for a quick kill, the other comming in from the left... ready to pierce anything that stood in its way. The blades played through the air, each nearing the body of netharion, trying to close him in. The dark, pulsing eyes of calamity waited with a dire anticipation.:.

Netharion jumped using the Force to propel upward, dodging the incoming charge and landed a few meters behind Calamity. He stood still for a while, not taking advantage of his weakened prey, merely glaring at him. Eyes gleaming with red fire.

Then, he swung his in a fast motion, battering the twin lightsabers outward and the second the crimson blades were out of the way, Netharion spun the saber hilt min his fingers, mimicking a repulser lift blade. The circle was now complete, and in a millisecond the blade would bite into Calamity's left shoulder and neck.

lordember · Jul 21, 2006

.:.Calamity dropped to the floor, letting netharion's blade bypass him, its red blade cutting into nothingness. Calamity rolled to the side, then propelled himself upward, his feet stomping onto the throne room's surface. In each hand his sabers glistened in a bloody light, each blade awaiting to cut into some flesh. Silence boomed as the two adversaries stared darkly into each other's eyes, scowling with darkness and dire anticipation. The twin custom sabers soared through the air in a master's fashion, the red light shimmering against the battered halls. Pulsing forward the knights of melee came, flourishing their lights of blood on anything that stood in their way. In a swift remark they were fastened in an "X" formation around the waist of their foe, and calamity pressed inward, looking to severe the adversary infront of him.:.

Sovereign · Jul 21, 2006

Maleficent power seared through Netharion for he knew his deadly peril and the thread upon which is doom now hung. Before the twin energy blades could rend his flesh, Netharion cried out in anger and gave out a single yet mighty blow with his foot, slamming into Calamity's loathed face and sending him hurtling to the floor.

lordember · Jul 21, 2006

.:.Calamity propelled himself off the floor, sabers in hand... clawing for flesh, which they were moments away from. Calamity's hands were firmly gripped on his twin lightsabers, the red blades arranged in a masterful fashion. Twisting his body, red lights swam through the air. Swiftly and professionaly, the right blade cut down, arching into a deadly uppercut, bound to go into the abdomen of netharion. The left blade arched upward, then cunning split down, ready to plunge into the shoulder of netharion.:.

*Eager eyes gazed upon the force. The Apprentace to the Dark Lord of the Sith watched intently at the engagement between his two comrades. The future of the Order was unfolding before his eyes*

Netharion laughed no more. His face was twisted wtih anger to the likeness of some wild beast. Rage filled him and his mouth slavered and shapeless sounds of fury came strangling from his throat. Netharion had been cruelly toying with the Sith Lord since the beginning of their clash. But it now seemed that his quarry was stronger than he had first thought so.

With a strike so blindingly fast that Calamity could have never tracked it, Netharion battered both lightsaber away, driving them into the ground.
And before he could recover, a bright light shone forth out of Netharion's free hand in that black place, and mighty waves of malevolent lightning came swirling upon Calamity, engulfing him in a tempest of pain.
