Bad Metal - Sever's Return

[Anton Byrax]

::: General Sever sit's quietly aboard his new Flagship, awaiting the arrival of his old apprentice.
During his absense he had done much to contemplate his return to the forefront of Galactic affairs, so much had changed - and not for the better in his eyes. ::::

:: It was time for him to step forward and become much more than he was created for....... :::

[Kapar'in Va]

Taking a Sith Infiltrator, Lim Dul leaves Korriban and docks with General Sever's Flagship. He had felt his Master's return and was eager to find out where he had disappeared to.

Docking with the Flagship and making his way toward the Bridge, Lim Dul thinks back on all the changes that have taken place since he saw Sever last: not one but 2 Dark Lords have ascended to the throne to lead the Sith, the title currently held by Dark Empress Veia. Lord Ember had returned after leaving the Sith to become a Mancer. Azneth had returned, though Lim Dul was not sure he had ever truly left.

Stepping on to the bridge, he kneels before the before General Sever.
"Welcome home, Master. It is good you have returned. Much has changed since I saw you last. If I may ask, where did you go? Why did you exile yourself?"

[Anton Byrax]

::: The human eyes ever present behind the death mask that was Sever's face, were unsettling at the best of times - but now they had a glow of malice, two smoldering orbs of hatred fixed upon his apprentice Lim Dul. :::

-"[glow=red,2,300]Where i have been is of no importance. What i have learned and become is something far beyond that of which i was created. [/glow]"-

-"[glow=red,2,300]You will do well to stand with me in the coming times. Are you still loyal?[/glow]"-

[Kapar'in Va]

"Of course, Master. I meant no disrespect. In your absence I have continued my training in the Force. Though with no swordsmen at the Academy, I have not trained much more in saber technique. I look forward to training more with you at your convienience."

Sending his next thought out through the Force
[glow=red,2,300]::What would you have me do, my Master::[/glow]

[Senior Master Al'Kan]

*Ember appears on the flagship, next to sever and lim dul. A blackish-red aurora swirls around him, as he comes out of the unified force. Gusts spirr throughout the room, striking officers with fear. Ember raises his hand, and everything comes to a hault. Ember circles around the two, and stops*

[glow=black,2,300]So, you have returned my old apprentice, at the same time as I.. Welcome back to your true home... Much has changed since our last meeting, you have supposedly grown more powerful, as I have. I respect you, but you must know. Do not start a fight you cannot finish. That goes for you too lim dul.[/glow]

*His ending words seem to echcoe in sever and dul's head, not budging out.. The words almost hand in the air, and spread a somewhat poison, if you will through the bridge... Officers are struck with fear*

[glow=black,2,300]Have you sworn allegiance to the dark empress viea?[/glow]

[Anton Byrax]

:::The granduar of Ember's entrance was lost on a being such as Sever, and he was "glad" to note that Lim Dul seemed to be unphased by it aswell. :::

-"[glow=red,2,300]Ah, the Turncoat has returned - but for how long? And to think that i once called you master...[/glow]"-

::: Sever appeared to laugh, although some would think it a growl.:::

-"[glow=red,2,300]My allegiance to you is long dead, yet this viea is another matter. You are no longer in a position to question my motives, i advise you to leave while you still can. I have not forgotten our meeting on Naboo.[/glow]"-

[Senior Master Al'Kan]

[glow=black,2,300]Once again, I tell you not to start a fight you cannot finish. Position you say? You are a cyborg, fool. A sith general. Try to fight me, and we shall see if your arrogant speaking is true. You know I exceed your strength, I can challenge the dark empress if i wish. But i do not. I am happy under her rule. That is why I was your master, and you were the apprentice. Once you achieve the rank of a sith lord, jedi council member, nem'vaah master, mancer lord, and shadow lord.... Challenge me. You can try now if you wish. I am warning you for your own good.[/glow]

*Muscles start to indent ember's robes. His eyes pulse a red, injecting fear into the soldiers in the room. His red aurora now swirls more rapidly, creating a horrifying gust in the room*

[Anton Byrax]

::: Sever opens his cloak, allowing it to fall to the floor.
upon parts of his torso and limbs there is a seething mass of grafted flesh, pulsing with his own lifeforce. :::

-"[glow=red,2,300]A cyborg Iam, though soon i will be more living flesh than mechanical parts. My connection to the force has been returned, its suppression was acute although Master Abnar was a fool indeed - he left a way for me to return to the embrace of the darkside.[/glow]"-

-"[glow=red,2,300]An abomination Iam, but no longer will i bare the name Sever - I now claim the title Darth Hereticus. And you cannot stand in my way.[/glow]"-

[Senior Master Al'Kan]

*Ember almost bursts out laughing, but he limits it to a chuckle*

[glow=black,2,300]I understand your power, herectious, but do not try your power against mine. I understand you wield great through the dark, as do I. I can teach you more of the force later, but now. Now.. Now, we must unite, to face our enemies. Too long have the sith fought against each other, too long have we been in the shadows. To win, we will embrace the dark, and unite. That is a must... Today, we must take action..
[/glow]

*Ember's wise words make sense, as they echoe thoroughly throughout the room. His aurora still pulses, fueling him within the darkside. He folds his arms upon his chest, waiting for the response from herectious*

[Kapar'in Va]

Lim Dul stared blankly at Ember as he made his appearance on the Bridge of Darth Hereticus' Flagship. He had heard of Ember, though mostly in passing. Lim Dul remembered him as the Master of Eversor, a fellow apprentice who had rapidly risen to his position as Darth Hereticus, General of the Sith Armies.

Lim Dul remained silently off to the side while the two Sith conversed. He realized that this is not a conversation that he need be involved in. While he had advanced relatively quickly from an Apprentice to a Sith Knight, and was confident in his abilities as both a swordsman and a Force user, he was also not foolish enough to think that his skill was remotely close to that of either Hereticus or Ember.

[Anton Byrax]

::: pondering on Ember's words, Hereticus knows the truth of what has been said. :::

-"[glow=red,2,300]Then we will unite, my goal has allways been to further the aims of the Sith.....[/glow]"-

[Senior Master Al'Kan]

[glow=black,2,300]Good, my fellow sith.. I will soon act, as you may too. May the darkness be with you.[/glow]

*Ember's aurora swirls around him, in shades of black and red, and ember disapears in the unified force, in the mist of the galaxy*
