The Code

[Vaxvesh Quao]

Vaxvesh Quao, a Dark Jedi Initiate had recruited a former Jedi Knight known as Anthoni into the Bogan. He however had used a different identity known as Samar Zinthoni. Vaxvesh was happy to have heard Anthoni join the Bogan. As someone that had been with the Bogan ever since its founding, the amount of people joining the Bogan was increasing. In his opinion, Vaxvesh believed it could reach the amount of people that joined the Jedi each year. That of course was a goal that was far away from being reached.

He had received a request from the Dark Jedi Apprentice for him to come and learn the Bogan code. Vaxvesh knew the Code by heart. He had learned it ever since he joined the Bogan, and had memorized it within the first few minutes of him learning the Code. Unlike the Jedi Code, which in Vaxvesh's opinion restricted someone to get the job done, the Bogan code allowed someone to do that, and that was why he was very happy to teach the Code to Anthoni.

The Zabrak walked and telekinetically opened the door while using force stealth to hide his force signature. Vaxvesh was getting better at using the abilities telekinesis and force stealth, and one day, he hoped he could reach full mastery of the two abilities. When the door opened, Vaxvesh awaited Anthoni to arrive, being well aware that he had sent an order for Anthoni to be summoned.

 

[Mr.BossMan]

Anthoni was sitting down in his new room, courtesy of the Bogan. It was dark and lit by a single candle on a small table. All the same though he felt at home. There was a knock on his door and when he opened it there was a young kid looking up at him. The kid told him that he was summoned by Samar Zinthoni, He was to learn the Bogan Code by the Dark Jedi who had recruited him. Anthoni smiled and told the kid he would be right there.

Anthoni dressed in his new robes, again courtesy of the Bogan. These where black and grey where as the Jedi's where brown and white. Anthoni looked at himself in the mirror. He wore black robes with a grey undershirt, black pants and boots. He looked at himself and thought about everything that led up to this moment. The thoughts where quickly dismissed, as Anthoni wanted to forget his past. He pulled up his black hood and looked at his face, the scar that ran across his left cheek. He still had his padawan braid, for some reason he could not cut it.

Anthoni tucked his saber tight to his waist and left his room. He was beginning to know the grounds of the Dark Temple quicker then one might think. He found the room where he would learn the Bogan Code, and he found Samar there waiting for him. Anthoni looked at the Zebrak then nodded his head and waited for his lesson.

 

[Vaxvesh Quao]

OOC: Sorry for the long wait.
Still using his force stealth, the Zabrak could sense Anthoni arriving. Vaxvesh, under the alias of Samar Zinthoni, had wanted to know how Anthoni was progressing within the Order, and what if he was beginning to like it. He wondered if it was a big change for him because the Dark Jedi Apprentice a few months ago had been part of the Jedi Order. When Samar had joined the Bogan, it was not a big change for him, since he had been using the Dark side for over two decades, and at the moment, he was nearly mastering it.

"How do you like it in the Bogan so far?" Samar asked, keeping a tone of someone who was interested. As the Dark Jedi spoke, he could sense that Anthoni was more corrupted by the dark side, and that was something that he was very happy with . "Have you learned anything knew about the Bogan, and what our beliefs are compared to the stupid ideals of the Jedi Order, and the corrupted teachings of the Sith?" Samar stated, continuing to speak.

"We were the very first dark side users, and our teachings were given to the Sith, who corrupted the teachings of Ajunta Pull, the Dark Jedi that is responsible for making the Sith so powerful. Our time to teach those teachings is now." he stated. Samar then waited for Anthoni's response.

 

[Mr.BossMan]

Anthoni saw Samar and was instantly excited to see familiar face. This Zebrak showed him his way and he would forever owe Samar for doing so. Anthoni smiled at the Zebrak and listened to what he had to say. How do i like it in the Bogan? Anthoni thought about it for a few seconds and answered in a joking tone. "Well i like my new clothes, My room is a little muggy but that's all good with me. The foods alot better then i thought it would be which is a huge bonus. The people are pretty friendly for being Evil Darksiders wanting chaos everywhere in the galaxy. So all i in all ya i like the Bogan."

Then he was asked if he learned anything new from his time with the Bogan. The quick answer was no so that was what he told Samar. Anthoni spoke more serious this time not wanting to become overly mocking. "Since joining the Bogan i have been practicing with my Saber more then anything else. I am becoming a better fighter in form three Soresu, I can best most of the other students at my level in a duel. As far as the force and your code" Anthoni corrected himself "Sorry our Code, i have not learned much, That is why i am eager to learn from you Samar." Anthoni smirked at the Zebrak and made a slight bow ready to began his teachings for today.

 

[Vaxvesh Quao]

"I see." Vaxvesh. under the alias 'Samar' stated. "They might be friendly, and while I do acknowledge that our teachings are very different from the perverted teachings of the Sith Order, I do want you to remember this is a different from the training of the New Jedi Order. People will use you, people will want to be your friend, but, they can still stab you in the back." he warned. "You should be careful about who you trust."

"Perhaps once in a while, I can be able to teach you some of the forms I know. I specialize in the Shien/Djem So form, and I also am quite adept in the usage of Form II: Makashi. That however is not why I am here. I am here because I want to ask you one very simple question. Have you learned about the Code of the Dark Jedi, the code of the Bogan." Vaxvesh asked. He wondered if Anthoni had learned anything about the Bogan's teachings, as he believed that they were very important to the Order.

A person's teachings usually are what motivates them to become more powerful. That was what had happened to Darth Sidious, and other Dark Lords of the Sith. This is why he wanted Anthoni to learn the Bogan code, in order for him to be able to fully realize how our teachings differ from those of the Jedi, and those of the Sith.

Vaxvesh awaited Anthoni's answer, wondering if the answer was a yes, or a no.

 

[Mr.BossMan]

Anthoni listened intently to everything Samar told him. He paced the room as the Zebrak spoke, Stopping from time to time to look Samar in the eye's. What he had told Anthoni was nothing new to him, he was aware of the other students and he often found them looking at him from a distance. Even now Anthoni has still not made any connections with another class mate.

When Samar told him not to trust anyone Anthoni smiled at the remark. Anthoni has never fully trusted anyone, Never. Except from Keiyara, he trusted her with his life and in the end, She spit at him with her betrayal. He shivered at the memory of Erica's pit, her torture chamber that nearly broke Anthoni's sanity in two. All of that pain that he suffered, All because of Keiyara, All because he trusted someone. Never will he make that mistake again.

Once his trainer spoke about offering him classes in Saber combat Anthoni looked up and his face said enough. He would gladly love to learn Saber combat, but he knew that would be something for another day. He wondered how adept his teacher was with a Saber? How many men has Samar killed? Anthoni could not count how many he has slain, The thought of killing so many would make lesser men shudder. In Anthoni's mind he did so because it was either him or them. Anthoni alive today is testament to his ability to survive, No matter what situation.

Anthoni was not facing the Zebrak when he asked him "One simple question." Once he heard what he asked he waited for a minute then spoke loudly. "No, I have not Samar. I Know the words but not what they mean and I am eager for my lesson." He said with a smile as he turned to face Samar.

 

[Vaxvesh Quao]

"Then you have found out why I specifically called you here." he stated. Vaxvesh was not mad that Anthoni had not learned the Code. In fact, he was rather happy. If he had learned the code ealier, the Dark Jedi Initiate would not have had an important reason to arrange a meeting with Samar. While his primar motivation was that he wanted to teach him the Code, Vaxvesh also wanted to assess Anthoni's loyalties, and see if he was still loyal, or regretted his decision to come to Dagobah. So far, nothing indicated that sort of thing, and that was something good.

"The philosophies of an order influence the people inside it. Without philosophy, we would not have a Jedi Order, we would not have the Sith, and we certainly wouldn't have Dark Jedi. In fact, we most likely would not have any force organization, independent or mainstream. That is why you must learn the philosophies of the Dark Jedi of The Bogan." he stated. Vaxvesh, under the alias Samar, waited for what he stated to sink in, before he continued.

"No peace, only chaos. No knowledge, only instinct. No serenity, only passion. No life, only death. That is the Code of the Bogan. That is the most important teaching we have, and we must continue to preserve it. " After finishing speaking, 'Samar' cleared his throat, indicating he was going to speak for a longer period of time.

"The first part of the code, there is no peace, only chaos. That is a true teaching that we have. The New Jedi Order have corrupted this galaxy with their teaching of peace. It is perverted, and it is hypocritical for them to preach this things considering they have let various groups continue to disturb the peace. When you are given life, you will suffer, you will need to endure, you will need to fight through your trials. You must allow it to motivate and help you if you are to truly reach you true potential. Let the chaos be your true motivation.

The second part of the code, their is no knowledge, only instinct. Yes, their is knowledge, but there is also instinct. The Old Jedi Order fell due to the fact that they failed to quickly react to the changing times during the Clone Wars. That ultimately led to the rise of the Galactic Empire, and the Sith also failed to react during Darth Krayt's Empire. We as Dark Jedi must recognize this historical examples, and make sure that we do not commit the idiotic mistakes of our advisories.


The third part of the code, their is no serenity, only passion. Passion allows people to rise, it is the sole motivation that makes someone powerful. Passion allows you to pass trials, it allows you to fuel your power, to guide you in your journey to greatness. We as Dark Jedi must recognize that passion is perhaps the greatest motivation one has. We must also recognize though that we must not be ruled by our passion, otherwise we will have more infighting that the Sith have had during their troubling times.

Lastly, but certainly as important as the rest, the fourth parth of the code, there is no life, only death. This is perhaps the most important part of the code in my opinion. Death is around us. It is everywhere in the galaxy. Even a Neti, a species that lives averagely for over 7000 years dies. We must use the life that is around us to our advantage. If someone attempts to kill you, kill him. They will die sooner or later. In addition to that, we must recognize that we can use others to further our goals, and to make the Dark Jedi great again."

When he had done speaking, he waited for Anthoni to response, wondering what the Dark Jedi Apprentice thought of his interpretation of the code.

@Mr.BossMan

 

[Mr.BossMan]

Anthoni watched and listened to Samar, taking in his every detail. It was beyond obvious that Samar knew what he was talking about. The Zebrak had a solid interpitation of the Bogan Code. He spoke so straight forward and confident in his teachings, that Anthoni could not help but believe him. Anthoni knew that Samar was right, about everything. There is no Peace, Only Chaos. How could that be wrong? The whole galaxy was about to go to war, Everyone will soon forget about peace, as soon as chaos comes knocking on their planets door.

In a way this lone thought brought some comfort to Anthoni. First he had always been in chaos, A chaos within himself. Never knowing true peace or love or happiness. Anthoni always walked alone, and it seemed everywhere he went Chaos was around him almost like it followed him where he went. The second part of the Code, No knowledge only Instinct. Samar could not of backed up this line with better evidence if he tried. It also made perfect sense to Anthoni.

How many people could the Jedi have saved if they would of just acted sooner? How many lives would have been different? How many people and planets forgotten to time, only if the Jedi would have acted sooner. The thought of the Jedi not helping people angered him greatly. Where were the Jedi when he needed them most? When Anthoni was alone in that pit of despair, being tortured and beaten. Mentally broken and left to die? Who saved him, not a Jedi but a Sith. His supposed family left him to die so he could be saved by his greatest enemies, The Complete opposite of the Jedi.

Anthoni almost got lost in his thoughts as he heard Samar continue his speech. There is no serenity only passion, Anthoni had passion. He felt hatred and anger, rage and pain, sadness and despair. He felt all of these things inside of him. But while he was a Jedi all he did was try and dampen them. He tried to deprive them and hoped that they would leave him. But they never did, Always they returned. Now though, Anthoni would let them in, willingly let them loose. He wondered how powerful he could become just on those emotions alone. He already felt his blood rise and his strength grow, just by feeling these emotions again.

Then the last part of the code. Their is no Life, only Death. This part of the code, Anthoni believed in the most in it the most because he felt it. Everyone Anthoni had ever cared about, was dead. Maybe not physically but emotionally they where dead to him. He loved to many people and because of that love, it killed Anthoni. It killed them as well. The thought of finally saying this to himself made him sad. This is the man he was now, This is the man he had become.

What a shame. He heard himself speak in his mind. For some reason deep down Anthoni was still In there. He was still good, or at least wanted to be. So as the good part of Anthoni watched and saw what he became, it mad him sad. For the first time in his life he truly pitied himself, How far have I fallen? Who am I now, What monster have I become? Almost as quickly as it started he stopped himself. That part of Anthoni was dead. He would not let himself get slowed down by such stupid questions. He was a Dark Jedi now, and he would kill for the Bogan. The Jedi are wrong and he was foolish to belive in their cause.

"I could never of said it better myself Samar, but I still need guidance. Tell me how to be a Dark Jedi, How do I maintain the Code and let it influence my life? How do I become a better Dark Jedi?"

 

[Vaxvesh Quao]

"I cannot tell you how to be a better Dark Jedi Anthoni. You must create your own path, as I have created mine." he stated. "If I tell you how to be a Dark Jedi, then I would be telling you my own interpretation, my own method. Unlike the Old, and New Jedi Order and the Sith, in my opinion, some of our instructors allow you to carve your own path. Despite following the obvious things(such as not killing a fellow Dark Jedi and whatnot), each Bogan can have a different interpretation of the Code, and you can have a different view from myself." he stated.

Despite telling Anthoni to pretty much find the answer himself, Vaxvesh wanted to give Anthoni some advice. "Always remember this Anthoni. Never let the Dark Side control you. In addition to that, if you have a thirst for knowledge, make sure that it won't become a weakness, since something like that can became both a strength, and a weakness your enemies can exploit." he stated. "Any more questions?"

 

[Mr.BossMan]

Anthoni listened to samar with complete attention. He liked his response to the question he asked. Instead of telling him everything, he left Anthoni to find his own way. That is of course not all though, he told Anthoni something he did not expect. Never let the Dark side control you.
He waited for him to to finish then he asked a question hurridly, eager to pick Samars brain for information. "So are we evil samar?"

Anthoni was just a kid, he needed to know what he was. This zebra looked evil and Anthoni knew he heimself had the capacity for evil. He certainly has done evil things, but after all of this he still wanted to be good.

 

[Vaxvesh Quao]

"Again, it depends on how you look at it. If we were to look at the narrow minded view of the Old Jedi Order, we would be evil, yet their have been numerous people who used the dark side for good, people such as Kyle Katarn. The dark side isn't inherently evil. It is the person that is using it. I personally believe that the dark side offers a more effective means toward stabilizing the galaxy, then the hypocritical Jedi who have nearly gotten themselves killed numerous times." he stated. The old view of the dark being evil was wrong, and it would always be wrong, at least in his opinion.

"Any more questions Anthoni?" Samar asked, ready to answer whatever question Anthoni asked to the best of his ability.

 

[Mr.BossMan]

Anthoni started to pace as he thought of a question. He felt like the two would be here forever if Anthoni asked every one of the questions he had in mind, so he decided to ask only two mer, the rest he would meditate on.

"Only two. The first one, if there is only chaos then why does the Bogan have an ordered society? Second, who is our greatest enemy and why? These are my last questions."

 

[Vaxvesh Quao]

"Chaos will always be there. Even when the force was not discovered, their was still chaos. No one can be able to stop chaos. Not even the Skywalkers can be able to do so. When their is chaos though, their is a need for order. When their is chaos, people will want to have stability. That is why the Jedi and Sith have thrived. It is because they were able to provide Order, even though the Sith did a better job than the Jedi.

In terms of our greatest enemy, it is hard to answer. I personally believe that the Sith are our greatest enemy. After all, they are users of the dark side, and they have tarnished what the dark side was truly meant to be. They also control the biggest shipyards, and they control half of the galaxy. They will be a hard enemy to kill, but even the strongest of opponents have weaknesses." he stated. He knew that he was going to Fondor since he had been informed by the upper command that he would participate in the first ever Battle of Fondor. Therefore, he needed to be prepared to face the biggest enemy he had encountered. He was getting ready and he hoped that he would survive the battle.

"I hope you learned a lot about the Bogan, and I hope you learned about our philosophy. My only advice to you is to take what you have learned, and train and get stronger. I will be meeting you again." he stated. Vaxvesh then bowed to Anthoni, and then waited for him to leave. When the Dark Jedi Apprentice left, he also left and went to his room to meditate. He needed to be prepared, and he needed the dark side to help him.

 

[Mr.BossMan]

After Lamar was done speaking Anthoni bowed to him and spoke. "Thank you for your wisdom, you have taught me much." Then Anthoni walked out of the building and headed for his room.

When he got there he opened the door and found his small bed in the darkness. Anthoni undressed himself and bathed. He pondered the Bogan Code, how much it was different then that of the Jedi's. Anthoni felt like he belonged here, in this room underneath Bogan walls. When it was time to go to sleep Anthoni got out of his bath and dryed himself. Then he walked over to his dresser and stared at the one thingthat made him feels something.

Keiyara was beautiful and Anthoni missed her beyond imagination. She held everything in Anthoni that was good. With out Keiyara he was a lost soul, slowly dieing and breaking. He needed her, but he could not find her.

Anthoni said down on his bed, closed his eyes and thought of a life with Keiyara.
