The Dark Jedi Knight moved though the shadows. He was one of Tarentums best Obelisk and this Vendetta gave him a chance to show it. By use of his Life Sense he knew that there was someone near by. "Hi," said a voice behind him. Jumping in shock, DJK Kernats turned around coming face to face with Samuel, his Quaestor.
"Hello sir. I didn't know you were so close. I was just going to the meeting."
"I figured that out, " Samuel said smiling.
They finished their short walk to the conference room without speaking to each other. Entering the room, Kernats noticed that several of the people sitting around the were not Obelisk. Sitting next to a friend he asked, "Who are all these people?" But before his friend could answer Samuel stood up and approached the front of the room, officially starting the meeting."I would like to welcome Battlemaster Pel and his Sith pilots to our humble home. Some of you might be asking why they are here. I'll get to that in a minute. As most of you know, fighting has broken out amongst the clans. Well, Tarentum has finally gotten the chance to show how wonderful we truly are. To do this, we have teamed up with House Tridens to do a joint mission. The first part of the mission will be to bomb the plants of the other Sith houses. Then the Obelisks will go in and fight the Obelisk houses. You might ask, how is this a joint mission. We are going to attack the same clan so the clan members cannot come to each other's rescue.."
"But sir," said one of the Sith pilots, "How about the Krath?"
"My dear Sith," said another Sith, "the Krath will not oppose us. They are priests. All they do is pray and write. We do not have to worry about them. Please continue Samuel."
"Thank you Pel..."
Kernats partly listened to the rest of the briefing, but mostly thought about what was happening. They were going to attack other houses. That was fine. He wanted to go against the others and show how superb his fighting skills were. But something was nagging at him, what was wrong.
Snapping out of his trance Kernats heard, "Good luck all of you." Looking up he noticed that Samuel was leaving the room and so was the rest of the Obelisk and Sith. "What do you think of this plan?" Someone asked him.
Looking over, Kernats noticed that his friend was standing next to him. "As long as they leave some for us." Kernats said laughing. "You realize that this our first real war since joining. This is awesome, we finally get the chance to show everyone what we are made of.!"
Laughing his friend responded, "Don't get overconfident my friend. There is something nagging at me, but I can't pin point it."
His friend looked at him for a few moments then laughed, "That's funny. Don't worry bout it we will all be fine. Remember we are the best. So, what group are you in?" His friend asked as they were handing them information.
"Umm, I'm in group five. How about you?"
"Cool, I'm in the same group. That's neat huh?"
"Yea.." Kernats said and fell into silence. Walking though the corridors, he though. 'What is bugging me? I remembered my saber, robes and I've been training for a while. So what's up ?'
"Don't think to hard bro," his friend said, "you don't wanna kill any brain cells. You don't have any to spare." They entered a shuttle bay meeting up with other Obelisks. A round of hellos went though the circle then everything was silent.
"Lets load it up," said Samuel looking around the group, "good luck everyone."Hanging back, Kernats saw everyone going into the shuttle. Sighing, he boarded as well. As one of the last ones, he had few seats to sit in. One by Samuel, one by his friend and a final one by a snoring Novice. Picking to sit by Samuel he walked over, "Sir, can I sit here?"
"Sure Kernats."Sitting down he looked at his Quaestor. 'What was this man thinking,' the Dark Jedi thought. "If only I knew.."
"If only you knew what?"
Startled, Kernats looked at Samuel, "Excuse me sir."
"You said if only you knew, if only you knew what?"Kernats didn't have a chance to answer Samuel because a voice came over the intercom, "Prepare to land.."
The shuttle landed and the Obelisks charged out of the shuttle and into a group of people. 'Shoot' thought Kernats,"Why'd they put us in the middle of a group of practicing Obelisks?" Pulling out his saber and activating it, the Dark Jedi Knight blocked an oncoming attack. Kernats tried using the force to injure his opponent but it was blocked. 'This guy has greater Jedi abilities. I guess I'll just have to do this the old fashion way." Lunging, Kernats caught the guy in the stomach and he went down dead. "We are done here," said Samuel.
"But sir, we haven't disabled the house fully."
"We aren't here to kill everyone.. Just throw their house into disarray. We have killed most of their house thus fulfilling our objectives. Lets get going."'
"Yes sir." was murmured throughout the crowd and everyone went back into the shuttle and was gone. Leaving behind carnage everywhere as a warning that anyone who opposes Tarentum will fall.Sitting back in his sit, Kernats cleans the handle of his saber half heartedly. "Don't activate that thing." That drew Kernats to notice that he was close to touching the activation button on his saber. "Sorry sir. I'm not paying much attention to what I'm doing." Silence again filled the shuttle and again it was broken by the pilots voice announcing they have arrived at the next planet. 'Hopefully this idiotic pilot won't land us in the middle of their training ground again.' the Jedi said as he got up to get off the shuttle. "Kernats!"
"What's up bro?" Kernats said turning around.
"Good Luck." his friend said. Holding his glance Kernats had a strange feeling that this was the last time he was going to see his old friend. "Good luck to you too.. Be careful please.."
"Aren't I always," his friend said smiling. Kernats didn't have the chance to respond, he was pushed out of the shuttle by battle thirsty dark Jedi wanting their time in the battle. Drawing his saber, Kernats walked towards a structure in the distance. Behind him he felt a termor in the Force but it was to late. He felt a crushing blow on his back. Staggering, the Knight turned towards the attacker.. 'Who was that?' But no one was there. Turning slowly in circles he noticed a few others from his house staggering and some attacking the Obelisk from Naga Shadow. Turning a little more, Kernats was just in time to see his friend struck down..
"NOOOOO!!!!" Kernats yelled running towards the man that just killed his only friend. Anger and raged rushed though him as he stuck at the other Jedi, striking him into the floor. Sinking to the knees, Kernats couldn't move. Luckily enough he didn't have to, the other house members took care of the rest of the Obelisks from the other clan. Feeling someone approaching Kernats stood up and looked around. Samuel was standing a couple of feet to his left, "We are done here," he said, "lets get going.."
"Good bye my friend," he said as he walked towards the shuttle. On the shuttle, he stared out of the window. 'I knew something bad was going to happen.. Why could have it been me to die?' Kernats sighed as he heard the pilot say, "We have landed again.."Getting up, still in a rage, Kernats pushed to the front of the line. He wanted a piece of the Scholae Palatinae's Obelisks. He wanted revenge, even if the revenge he got wasn't in the form of the people who killed his friend. He just wanted to kill someone. Running out of the shuttle, he noticed that they were in the middle of a town. Yet, no one was here. "Where is everyone?" Kernats heard someone ask. Searching the town, they couldn't find anyone. "Leave it to CSP not to be at home when we show up. Lets leave out mark and get out of here.." Kernats said.
"I agree," said Samuel. Taking his saber, Samuel engraved 'Tarentum was here. Where were you.' "Lets get going." Samuel said as he boarded the shuttle. Boarding the shuttle right after him Kernats couldn't sit still.
"Weren't you the one who was telling people to calm down a few days ago?" Samuel asked.
"Yes Sir," Kernats said looking out of the window, "but things have changed now. Now I want blood and Ill take whoever's I can get."The pilots voice announced that they were once again where they were supposed to be. Unloading, Kernats had a sudden feeling that things were about to go very wrong. Then he saw what was wrong. There were almost a hundred people standing near where they had just landed. "What the heck?" Kernats whispered.
Before he could think, they were attacked by the group. The rage was still with him and Kernats killed a large amount of them before he was exhausted. He noticed another person charging him. Putting his saber in front of him, he knew he couldn't defend himself or his house any more. He lunged again and caught the mans arm ripping though the other persons robe. Then he felt a saber go though his stomach. Kernats stayed conscious just long enough to hit the robed figure again. Smiling, the last thing Kernats saw was Flech grabbing his leg.The last of the battles was over. Tarentum emerging pretty much the victor. But Kernats and his friend did not live to see it. Flech did though, as he laid in his hospital room extremely mad. Everyone thought they could take Tarentum but they were wrong. Tarentum emerged victorious..
