what are you talking about<\/p>\n
I am lord Scourge<\/p>\n
once a loyal servant of the Empire<\/p>\n
Kira Carsen Jedi knight not thrilled to be here<\/p>\n
all three of us have fought the same enemy<\/p>\n
the former Sith emperor Tenebrae<\/p>\n
Vitiate Valkorian whatever you wish to call him<\/p>\n
we know he was once a part of you and we<\/p>\n
both felt his destruction<\/p>\n
but he has always been a Master of<\/p>\n
deceit we had to be sure that he wasn’t<\/p>\n
lingering in your mind hidden waiting to<\/p>\n
come out only in the most dire circumstances<\/p>\n
no we are sure you try to kill me<\/p>\n
and now you expect me to trust you just<\/p>\n
like that<\/p>\n
I know it’s hard to believe but we’re<\/p>\n
all on the same side<\/p>\n
we can’t risk saying more here let’s<\/p>\n
travel to your base on Odessan<\/p>\n
it should be safe for us to talk there<\/p>\n
about what<\/p>\n
the final gruesome weapon of Tenebrae<\/p>\n
we’re here now tell me what this is all<\/p>\n
about<\/p>\n
as I told you one vikin space stock<\/p>\n
Tenebrae’s last<\/p>\n
gruesome weapon he sought immortality<\/p>\n
but only his endless spite survives now<\/p>\n
I was his most powerful servant once<\/p>\n
his wrath that I learned of his true<\/p>\n
nature<\/p>\n
and plotted his downfall for centuries<\/p>\n
ultimately I saw what had to be done<\/p>\n
and betrayed my Empire in order to<\/p>\n
destroy its creator<\/p>\n
that is how I came to fight alongside<\/p>\n
Kira<\/p>\n
we fought the emperor’s servants<\/p>\n
constantly for years we even thought<\/p>\n
we’d beaten him alongside my Master<\/p>\n
and Yavin 4 happened and Valkorian<\/p>\n
I received guidance from an old ally<\/p>\n
instead of seeking out our enemy in his<\/p>\n
current shell<\/p>\n
you as it turns out we sought a<\/p>\n
different target<\/p>\n
Tenebrae hid his original body where no<\/p>\n
one could harm it<\/p>\n
as long as that body remained in stasis<\/p>\n
the galaxy’s greatest evil could never<\/p>\n
truly be killed unless we destroyed<\/p>\n
Tenebrae<\/p>\n
the fight against Valkorian would never<\/p>\n
really be over<\/p>\n
since Valkorian is gone I assume you<\/p>\n
succeeded we did<\/p>\n
as we later learned we destroyed his<\/p>\n
first body just as you<\/p>\n
purged the last vestige of his twisted<\/p>\n
spirit<\/p>\n
from your mind that is when his final<\/p>\n
weapon was unleashed<\/p>\n
a Sith ritual carved into his very flesh<\/p>\n
unleashed an ancient plague from every<\/p>\n
molecule of his decaying<\/p>\n
corpse we were both knocked out cold<\/p>\n
comatose for<\/p>\n
more than a year Satele Shan was the one<\/p>\n
who finally pulled us out of that<\/p>\n
nightmare<\/p>\n
and started a new one like you Kira and<\/p>\n
I have both been vessels for a portion<\/p>\n
of Tenebraes’ power<\/p>\n
it acted as a sort of vaccine<\/p>\n
but Satele had no such protection nor<\/p>\n
did any of her followers<\/p>\n
within days they were all laid low<\/p>\n
trapped in a nightmarish slumber<\/p>\n
in helping us they are knowingly doomed<\/p>\n
themselves this ritual what can you tell<\/p>\n
me about it<\/p>\n
nothing we lost consciousness even as we<\/p>\n
felt it taking<\/p>\n
shape the infection is worsening there<\/p>\n
is a darkness growing among the<\/p>\n
afflicted<\/p>\n
we can feel their minds connecting<\/p>\n
communicating<\/p>\n
we’re afraid they might be merging<\/p>\n
somehow<\/p>\n
merging into what another Valkorian<\/p>\n
is this plague bringing him back somehow<\/p>\n
it’s too early to make that conclusion<\/p>\n
whatever it is it is immensely dangerous<\/p>\n
we must stop it how<\/p>\n
we loaded Satele and all of her<\/p>\n
followers onto a transport to keep them<\/p>\n
quarantined<\/p>\n
along with a few droids to tend to<\/p>\n
them the transport is programmed to fly<\/p>\n
a random course through unsettled<\/p>\n
sectors of the outer rim<\/p>\n
all weeks away from civilization I can<\/p>\n
send a signal to alter the course<\/p>\n
bring it to another empty system that’s<\/p>\n
closer so that we can meet it in a<\/p>\n
shuttle<\/p>\n
we board the ship and connect our minds<\/p>\n
with yours through the force<\/p>\n
together we will face this entity<\/p>\n
and purge it from existence and if we<\/p>\n
cannot purge it<\/p>\n
then we destroy the transport and hope<\/p>\n
we’ve ended the old monster’s schemes<\/p>\n
forever send the signal<\/p>\n
if what you say is true this thing could<\/p>\n
be getting stronger by the minute<\/p>\n
I’ll send the signal right away it’s<\/p>\n
going to take a while for the transport<\/p>\n
to come back into range<\/p>\n
then we should stay here until it does<\/p>\n
if you require<\/p>\n
any assistance in the meantime don’t<\/p>\n
hesitate to ask<\/p>\n
not so fast I’m not fighting the<\/p>\n
republic or the Jedi so if that’s what<\/p>\n
you want<\/p>\n
definitely hesitate to ask ignore her<\/p>\n
if necessary I can slay enough of your<\/p>\n
enemies<\/p>\n
for both of us she grows on you<\/p>\n
eventually<\/p>\n
ah we’ve waited too long as it is<\/p>\n
something is wrong I’m sure of it<\/p>\n
smashing up the place isn’t gonna solve<\/p>\n
anything<\/p>\n
we’ll find the ship it’s gonna be all<\/p>\n
right<\/p>\n
I take it there’s no sign of the<\/p>\n
transport with Satele and her followers<\/p>\n
nothing it isn’t responding to our<\/p>\n
signals<\/p>\n
and we’ve already checked the next<\/p>\n
scheduled stop<\/p>\n
no sign which leaves just about two or<\/p>\n
three hundred<\/p>\n
systems to search<\/p>\n
there must be another way<\/p>\n
you need to calm down<\/p>\n
now<\/p>\n
go easy on him it’s been hundreds of<\/p>\n
years since he felt real emotions<\/p>\n
he’s a bit out of practice all we can do<\/p>\n
is start searching from the ship’s last<\/p>\n
known coordinates<\/p>\n
which for us could take forever<\/p>\n
so we get an expert<\/p>\n
we’ll send T7 out with an escort and all<\/p>\n
the probe droids we can find<\/p>\n
they’ll cover more ground and sort<\/p>\n
through sensor readings faster than we<\/p>\n
ever could<\/p>\n
T7 works as astromech magic crunches the<\/p>\n
probe data to pick up a trail<\/p>\n
and we find our missing ship in a matter<\/p>\n
of days or weeks instead of years<\/p>\n
I can’t think of anyone better for the<\/p>\n
job<\/p>\n
that’s everything settled then as soon<\/p>\n
as we get coordinates you’ll be the<\/p>\n
first to know<\/p>\n
don’t worry your furniture’s safe he’ll<\/p>\n
calm down in a bit<\/p>\n
foreign<\/p>\n
p7 you found the ship with Satele Shan<\/p>\n
and her students<\/p>\n
finally great work we need<\/p>\n
those coordinates now there isn’t a<\/p>\n
moment to spare<\/p>\n
fall back we have the coordinates leave<\/p>\n
it to us<\/p>\n
ah we need to get there now the servants<\/p>\n
have found their Master<\/p>\n
the servants I can’t believe there are<\/p>\n
any of them left<\/p>\n
the servants they’re the Sith emperor’s<\/p>\n
worst fanatics<\/p>\n
they don’t even have names just servant<\/p>\n
one servant two<\/p>\n
and so on each time we think we’ve<\/p>\n
killed the last of them<\/p>\n
more always appear we have to get moving<\/p>\n
if the servants are involved<\/p>\n
this is even worse than we thought I’ll<\/p>\n
call in everyone we have<\/p>\n
task force nova Darune and no sterol<\/p>\n
the whole republic fleet if we need to<\/p>\n
no if Tenebrae has truly cheated death<\/p>\n
yet again<\/p>\n
anyone we take with us is another<\/p>\n
potential puppet for him to dominate<\/p>\n
we can’t risk taking anyone else they<\/p>\n
won’t be able to resist the emperor’s<\/p>\n
control like we can<\/p>\n
I’ll get a shuttle prepped meet me as<\/p>\n
soon as you’re ready<\/p>\n
one way or another this ends today<\/p>\n
I realize this is something you must do<\/p>\n
without me but<\/p>\n
I couldn’t let you go without at least<\/p>\n
wishing you luck<\/p>\n
the way this is unfolding I’m completely<\/p>\n
disheartened<\/p>\n
I never dreamed we’d face Valkorian<\/p>\n
again and now you must do so without my<\/p>\n
help<\/p>\n
I hope you know that if I could I would<\/p>\n
be by your side for this<\/p>\n
I won’t hold it against you there’s just<\/p>\n
too much uncertainty this time<\/p>\n
I don’t doubt it just stay safe<\/p>\n
good you’re still here I was hoping to<\/p>\n
catch you before you took off<\/p>\n
what is it Theron I hope there’s room<\/p>\n
for one more on that shuttle<\/p>\n
because I’m going with you<\/p>\n
that’s not a good idea you could get<\/p>\n
infected like Satele and her students<\/p>\n
are<\/p>\n
I know it’s risky but Satele is in<\/p>\n
trouble<\/p>\n
I have to help whatever the emperor is<\/p>\n
doing<\/p>\n
I can resist it I was on Ziost<\/p>\n
he didn’t control me then sure as hell<\/p>\n
won’t let him affect me<\/p>\n
now commander<\/p>\n
we need to speak with you before you go<\/p>\n
whatever you need to say I’m listening<\/p>\n
we’re coming with you<\/p>\n
we helped you defeat Valkorian before<\/p>\n
and we won’t abandon you now<\/p>\n
whatever this weapon is that he’s<\/p>\n
unleashed I’m sure it won’t have any<\/p>\n
power over Arcann and I<\/p>\n
this is just as much our responsibility<\/p>\n
as it is yours<\/p>\n
if there’s the slightest chance<\/p>\n
Valkorian could return<\/p>\n
we must do what we can to stop him sorry<\/p>\n
to interrupt your<\/p>\n
send-off but we need to get going we<\/p>\n
will accompany you<\/p>\n
I’m going to that is<\/p>\n
really not a good idea Kira is correct<\/p>\n
too many are already infected by<\/p>\n
Tenebraes’ weapon<\/p>\n
bringing you is too great a risk that’s<\/p>\n
not your call to make<\/p>\n
the only orders I’m following are the<\/p>\n
commanders<\/p>\n
all right then what do you think<\/p>\n
Kira and Scourge are right the more<\/p>\n
people we involve in this problem the<\/p>\n
more lives are at stake<\/p>\n
I’m sorry but there’s no other choice<\/p>\n
you need to stay behind this time<\/p>\n
this is a mistake I want to help you<\/p>\n
as do we you’re going to need us<\/p>\n
I can feel it enough if you have a<\/p>\n
problem with my reasoning we’ll discuss<\/p>\n
it when I’m back<\/p>\n
indeed now is not the time or the place<\/p>\n
I wish you all good luck and I’ll keep<\/p>\n
our forces here on high alert<\/p>\n
should you need us just say the word<\/p>\n
let’s hope it doesn’t come to that still<\/p>\n
it’s good to know we’ve got backup<\/p>\n
enough talk<\/p>\n
let us depart before we lose the droid<\/p>\n
we’re here scanning the transport power<\/p>\n
fluctuations<\/p>\n
system failures looks like the engines<\/p>\n
are out of commission<\/p>\n
there’s a ship parked in the hangar bay<\/p>\n
but I can’t tell if it’s T7 shuttle or<\/p>\n
the servants<\/p>\n
there’s our answer we’ll have to go in<\/p>\n
through one of the airlocks<\/p>\n
but we can’t connect while they’re<\/p>\n
shooting at us<\/p>\n
I hate to say I was right but it looks<\/p>\n
like you could use some help<\/p>\n
we’ll talk about ignoring orders when<\/p>\n
this is done<\/p>\n
leave these fools to us go<\/p>\n
locked on and sealed we’re ready to go<\/p>\n
in<\/p>\n
what do you think we’ll find in there<\/p>\n
nothing good<\/p>\n
now it’s the compressor impossible<\/p>\n
I checked it not five minutes ago check<\/p>\n
it again<\/p>\n
what’s going on down there we must leave<\/p>\n
immediately<\/p>\n
doesn’t make sense every time we repair<\/p>\n
one system another fails<\/p>\n
that must be T7’s handiwork wonder where<\/p>\n
he’s hiding let’s find a way to take<\/p>\n
these guys down quietly once their boss<\/p>\n
disconnects<\/p>\n
no sense<\/p>\n
you will not escape the ship will be<\/p>\n
your tomb<\/p>\n
you were saying<\/p>\n
come on<\/p>\n
you all right I will be<\/p>\n
soon<\/p>\n
it’s good to see you too little guy<\/p>\n
great work stalling until we could get<\/p>\n
here<\/p>\n
so these guys aren’t our only problem<\/p>\n
then who else would even know about this<\/p>\n
it doesn’t matter anyone who stands<\/p>\n
against us<\/p>\n
will die must<\/p>\n
die I’ll decide who we kill and who we<\/p>\n
don’t<\/p>\n
understand<\/p>\n
let’s keep everyone contained then we’ll<\/p>\n
worry about who’s killing who<\/p>\n
all right I’ll take T7 and make sure the<\/p>\n
engines and hyperdrive are permanently<\/p>\n
shut down<\/p>\n
weapons and shields too just in case we<\/p>\n
must<\/p>\n
still ensure that no one who has boarded<\/p>\n
the ship can leave<\/p>\n
we cannot risk this corruption spreading<\/p>\n
we should check all the escape pods<\/p>\n
then launch them before anyone can use<\/p>\n
them that mystery shuttle in the hangar<\/p>\n
too<\/p>\n
T7 can take our shuttle out once we<\/p>\n
finish sabotaging everything<\/p>\n
agreed stay on comms<\/p>\n
that’s an eternal Empire shuttle from<\/p>\n
Zakuul<\/p>\n
old servants and new vying for scraps<\/p>\n
from their once<\/p>\n
great Master pathetic<\/p>\n
how could any of the Zakuul knights know<\/p>\n
about this<\/p>\n
perhaps they were closer to their Master<\/p>\n
than we knew<\/p>\n
I sense no one on board<\/p>\n
shield generators are toast we’re taking<\/p>\n
the weapons offline now<\/p>\n
we’ve launched all the escape pods and<\/p>\n
cleared the hangar there may be zekulens<\/p>\n
on board<\/p>\n
just what we needed we’ll keep our eyes<\/p>\n
open<\/p>\n
time to take the bridge I’m ready<\/p>\n
scions of Zakuul their leader told me<\/p>\n
they would return when it was their time<\/p>\n
to die<\/p>\n
they must have taken the ship off course<\/p>\n
in the first place<\/p>\n
but were they trying to hide from us or<\/p>\n
the servants<\/p>\n
are they allies or enemies the scions<\/p>\n
follow their prophecies above all<\/p>\n
there’s no way to know whose side<\/p>\n
they’re on then we approach with<\/p>\n
caution assuming any of them are still<\/p>\n
alive<\/p>\n
so many lives lost it must end<\/p>\n
here and now<\/p>\n
reverend the end is closer than ever<\/p>\n
before<\/p>\n
but the threat is as dire as we could<\/p>\n
have imagined<\/p>\n
the ritual inscribed on Tenebraee’s body<\/p>\n
the plague that was unleashed is feeding<\/p>\n
on its victims minds<\/p>\n
Tenebrae is being remade I can feel it<\/p>\n
you must intervene before it’s too late<\/p>\n
didn’t you die on Yavin you really<\/p>\n
seemed dead that time<\/p>\n
as long as Tenebrae’s spirit remains so<\/p>\n
will mine<\/p>\n
he must be obliterated utterly and<\/p>\n
completely<\/p>\n
that is our plan Kira will lead us in<\/p>\n
meditation<\/p>\n
we will join our minds with Satele’s and<\/p>\n
end his blight on the galaxy<\/p>\n
forever then go quickly I will aid you<\/p>\n
as best I can<\/p>\n
Kira the bridge has been secured we’re<\/p>\n
all clear too<\/p>\n
meeting with the med bay<\/p>\n
does Kira know you’ve been working with<\/p>\n
Revan I did not mention the specifics<\/p>\n
Kira fought his followers on Yavin I<\/p>\n
wasn’t sure<\/p>\n
she would trust him come the end<\/p>\n
is in sight<\/p>\n
Heskel’s prophecy at last<\/p>\n
we are here you<\/p>\n
will not stop this you cannot stop this<\/p>\n
you will never win Valkorion’s last<\/p>\n
vestige will be saved from your<\/p>\n
corruption<\/p>\n
you were puppets fools we were his true<\/p>\n
followers only we knew the true shape of<\/p>\n
his power<\/p>\n
of his plan you were all puppets<\/p>\n
the man you’re so obsessed with never<\/p>\n
cared about any of you<\/p>\n
why should a god care for the insects<\/p>\n
beneath him<\/p>\n
his designs were beyond any of us and<\/p>\n
they<\/p>\n
will not be stopped he is<\/p>\n
Master of the force Master of us<\/p>\n
all to stand against such power is to be<\/p>\n
destroyed my father manipulated you<\/p>\n
just as he manipulated us<\/p>\n
deception was his greatest power<\/p>\n
we thought we were a family that we knew<\/p>\n
him<\/p>\n
we were wrong please let this madness<\/p>\n
end<\/p>\n
the end will come only when it serves<\/p>\n
him<\/p>\n
if destruction is what you crave<\/p>\n
you shall have it I am the weapon of his<\/p>\n
will<\/p>\n
none can stand against his power<\/p>\n
more deaths to lay at my father’s feet<\/p>\n
Master Satele she’s still alive but trad<\/p>\n
and sill are dead<\/p>\n
and the rest aren’t far from it so much<\/p>\n
darkness<\/p>\n
we have to hurry form a circle quickly<\/p>\n
I’ll keep you covered from here just in<\/p>\n
case any stragglers are hiding out<\/p>\n
baron she’s my mother I’m glad I can<\/p>\n
help but<\/p>\n
I don’t think I want to see the inside<\/p>\n
of her mind<\/p>\n
we’re going to join our minds with the<\/p>\n
teals to help her fight<\/p>\n
focus your minds on her watch her<\/p>\n
breathing and try to match it<\/p>\n
close your eyes here we go again<\/p>\n
close your eyes let my voice guide you<\/p>\n
listen follow my voice the force unites<\/p>\n
us all<\/p>\n
through the force all things are one<\/p>\n
follow my voice follow<\/p>\n
uh<\/p>\n
I can’t sense the others I’m not sure if<\/p>\n
they made it in<\/p>\n
unexpected guests fascinating<\/p>\n
who are you<\/p>\n
you don’t recognize me but you’ve come<\/p>\n
here on purpose ah<\/p>\n
who else could you be<\/p>\n
I’ve heard so much about you<\/p>\n
impressive<\/p>\n
most impressive<\/p>\n
what the my wayward child<\/p>\n
you of all people should know better<\/p>\n
than to challenge<\/p>\n
my strength also I’ve gathered from this<\/p>\n
Jedi’s memories<\/p>\n
your minds are resilient to say the<\/p>\n
least<\/p>\n
adapting so quickly resisting<\/p>\n
so ably we’ve done this whole it’s all a<\/p>\n
dream but not really dance before<\/p>\n
you don’t remember<\/p>\n
this Jedi remembers<\/p>\n
though she clearly lacks details you<\/p>\n
aren’t who you’re pretending to be<\/p>\n
I am and I am not<\/p>\n
are you gonna start making sense anytime<\/p>\n
soon<\/p>\n
I’m on a tight schedule rushing<\/p>\n
ignorantly toward your doom<\/p>\n
the galaxy never changes this is the<\/p>\n
body Scourge and I destroyed<\/p>\n
his original body Tenebrae<\/p>\n
the ritual carved into him isn’t a<\/p>\n
plague it’s an imprint<\/p>\n
an echo of who he was back then it has<\/p>\n
taken<\/p>\n
longer than I’d hoped to recompose<\/p>\n
myself<\/p>\n
but time has never been in short supply<\/p>\n
not for me to be honest<\/p>\n
I’ve quite enjoyed the process the<\/p>\n
memories this<\/p>\n
Jedi and her followers have of me of us<\/p>\n
quite amusing<\/p>\n
so<\/p>\n
you won’t hurt her or anyone else ever<\/p>\n
again<\/p>\n
so confident you clearly don’t know me<\/p>\n
as well as you<\/p>\n
think the version of me that you knew<\/p>\n
became<\/p>\n
too complacent too distracted by mortal<\/p>\n
concerns<\/p>\n
Empires wars even a family<\/p>\n
I have seen where that path led<\/p>\n
I’m not so easily distracted now<\/p>\n
I will succeed where he failed<\/p>\n
and thanks to you I have a choice of<\/p>\n
interesting bodies to carry me to<\/p>\n
victory<\/p>\n
you lash out with such conviction<\/p>\n
don’t you see how pointless it all is<\/p>\n
I control this place all that happens<\/p>\n
every motion occurs by my design<\/p>\n
and you are no different<\/p>\n
you cannot succeed only die<\/p>\n
alone<\/p>\n
in the fight against you no one is alone<\/p>\n
he divided us he knows that together<\/p>\n
we are stronger than he can ever hope to<\/p>\n
be<\/p>\n
if this really is Satele’s mind it looks<\/p>\n
like he’s close to taking over<\/p>\n
completely<\/p>\n
perhaps but our enemy lies as often as<\/p>\n
he kills<\/p>\n
we can still win no one person can<\/p>\n
destroy this threat<\/p>\n
but all of us together we will end him<\/p>\n
we’ll find Satele and the others at the<\/p>\n
center of all this<\/p>\n
come on<\/p>\n
I told you<\/p>\n
I control all that happens here<\/p>\n
I am immortal infinite<\/p>\n
endless<\/p>\n
everything ends even you<\/p>\n
I believe you tried to destroy me once<\/p>\n
before<\/p>\n
you failed I saved you<\/p>\n
then I will not save you now<\/p>\n
fools he thinks you will be lost here<\/p>\n
forever<\/p>\n
but you have always known the way to<\/p>\n
destroy him<\/p>\n
together we will find his doom<\/p>\n
sateel is stronger than this<\/p>\n
duplicate believes she is not the easy<\/p>\n
prey he assumes<\/p>\n
he gleans the facts of his other lives<\/p>\n
from the memories and impressions of<\/p>\n
Satele<\/p>\n
but he has only the knowledge of those<\/p>\n
events this Tenebrae possesses none of<\/p>\n
the wisdom earned by experiencing them<\/p>\n
you seem to know a lot about what’s<\/p>\n
going on I know<\/p>\n
only what you know do not share in his<\/p>\n
arrogance<\/p>\n
he is more vulnerable than he would have<\/p>\n
us believe<\/p>\n
but he is still the most dangerous being<\/p>\n
in the galaxy<\/p>\n
if we fail to destroy him here and now<\/p>\n
there may never be<\/p>\n
another opportunity he is a relic of an<\/p>\n
ear long past destroy him<\/p>\n
break the chains he uses to instead us<\/p>\n
all<\/p>\n
free the galaxy from his manipulations<\/p>\n
avenge me<\/p>\n
avenge your soul<\/p>\n
at last I understand<\/p>\n
so desperate for love<\/p>\n
for approval<\/p>\n
for self-determined each<\/p>\n
more powerful than the last and<\/p>\n
also easily manipulated<\/p>\n
you must have been endlessly<\/p>\n
entertaining<\/p>\n
ignore him we’re together<\/p>\n
brother sister<\/p>\n
I we know brother<\/p>\n
we know what that he’s just as deluded<\/p>\n
and self-absorbed<\/p>\n
as our parents you couldn’t let me be<\/p>\n
free<\/p>\n
you are so afraid to let me be what I am<\/p>\n
you killed me<\/p>\n
I wouldn’t even be here if she hadn’t<\/p>\n
dragged me along<\/p>\n
dragged you along what do you mean not<\/p>\n
one clue what you’re doing as<\/p>\n
always lelen please please<\/p>\n
please what mother please stop reminding<\/p>\n
you of the truth<\/p>\n
does it hurt because it pales next to<\/p>\n
what you did to me<\/p>\n
please listen to me valen I don’t<\/p>\n
deserve your forgiveness<\/p>\n
but you deserve to hear this I was wrong<\/p>\n
he took you and I said nothing he caged<\/p>\n
you<\/p>\n
and I stood by he robbed you of the<\/p>\n
woman you were destined to be but I<\/p>\n
I let it happen others blame you for so<\/p>\n
much<\/p>\n
but the fault is mine<\/p>\n
how much pain and suffering might not<\/p>\n
have happened if I had just fought<\/p>\n
harder for you<\/p>\n
I could have done more I<\/p>\n
should have done more<\/p>\n
touching but that’s enough finally<\/p>\n
something we agree on<\/p>\n
can we focus there’s someone else here<\/p>\n
who needs to die<\/p>\n
foolish you could never hope<\/p>\n
you presume limits to my power there are<\/p>\n
none<\/p>\n
you must reach the center go<\/p>\n
what could you possibly be thinking<\/p>\n
you must realize by now that everything<\/p>\n
you do here is<\/p>\n
meaningless the Jedi’s mind can no<\/p>\n
longer resist me<\/p>\n
it crumbles by the second when she<\/p>\n
is obliterated only I<\/p>\n
will remain watch fight flee bring as<\/p>\n
many friends as you<\/p>\n
like nothing can stop<\/p>\n
me now you’re wrong<\/p>\n
I can stop you ah foolish child<\/p>\n
look at them your Jedi<\/p>\n
and her weak-minded students<\/p>\n
barely clinging to life to sanity<\/p>\n
they will fall and once again<\/p>\n
I will rise<\/p>\n
no<\/p>\n
your power is your weakness it blinds<\/p>\n
you<\/p>\n
Jedi nonsense precisely<\/p>\n
my students and I who are we to resist<\/p>\n
your power<\/p>\n
you knew you could dominate us all<\/p>\n
that you could tear a path through our<\/p>\n
minds absorbing our essence<\/p>\n
strengthening yourself crashing through<\/p>\n
all our defenses one by one<\/p>\n
in time your victory was inevitable in<\/p>\n
time<\/p>\n
you would claw your way here into the<\/p>\n
very core of my being<\/p>\n
into the heart of my trap<\/p>\n
trap look around you<\/p>\n
yes look around me look at my students<\/p>\n
each of them shaken to their core by the<\/p>\n
death and chaos that you helped create<\/p>\n
eager for help guidance strength<\/p>\n
had you focused on any one of them you<\/p>\n
might have succeeded<\/p>\n
but your ego wouldn’t allow it why<\/p>\n
settle for one student when you could<\/p>\n
assault them all<\/p>\n
and why limit yourself to the students<\/p>\n
when their Master was close at hand<\/p>\n
I never needed to beat you I only had to<\/p>\n
let you think you were invincible<\/p>\n
until now until every person who knows<\/p>\n
your weakness<\/p>\n
firsthand could come to face you<\/p>\n
until the one person who proved you<\/p>\n
could be defeated came here to destroy<\/p>\n
you<\/p>\n
once and for all I command the force<\/p>\n
that binds the universe<\/p>\n
how can a mere soldier hope to challenge<\/p>\n
me<\/p>\n
I’ll win the same way I always do as<\/p>\n
part of a team<\/p>\n
enough you will all learn the true<\/p>\n
depths of my power<\/p>\n
you think you know me you<\/p>\n
will suffer<\/p>\n
I cannot be denied<\/p>\n
I am immortal<\/p>\n
everything you’ve done<\/p>\n
everyone you’ve betrayed<\/p>\n
everyone you’ve manipulated<\/p>\n
everyone you’ve murdered<\/p>\n
the force seeks balance always<\/p>\n
no no the force<\/p>\n
is mine I command it<\/p>\n
I am endless<\/p>\n
no in the end you’re nothing<\/p>\n
welcome back<\/p>\n
what is this a victory party<\/p>\n
the best I could do on short notice<\/p>\n
we destroyed him utterly and forever<\/p>\n
the Sith emperor will never rise again<\/p>\n
at the end all those people who appeared<\/p>\n
around us<\/p>\n
who were they they were the consequences<\/p>\n
he fled for so many centuries<\/p>\n
where is everyone else my son is helping<\/p>\n
Kira and Scourge<\/p>\n
by taking my surviving students to our<\/p>\n
old training grounds on coruscant<\/p>\n
Arcann and senya have left for Odessan<\/p>\n
perhaps now they will finally know true<\/p>\n
peace<\/p>\n
the rest darth mar meetra surek<\/p>\n
revan I believe they are one with the<\/p>\n
force at last<\/p>\n
wait how much time has passed that’s not<\/p>\n
important<\/p>\n
you have given my son the home he always<\/p>\n
needed<\/p>\n
he spent so many years searching for the<\/p>\n
belonging that I couldn’t give him<\/p>\n
he finally has it thank you aaron is a<\/p>\n
good man<\/p>\n
and a good friend I’m proud to be<\/p>\n
working with him<\/p>\n
today we defeated the most evil and<\/p>\n
destructive being in history<\/p>\n
it has been centuries since the galaxy<\/p>\n
knew a day without Tenebrae’s dark<\/p>\n
influence<\/p>\n
today is the first step toward a new<\/p>\n
future<\/p>\n
let’s make that future a better one<\/p>\n
ah you’re awake shouldn’t need this then<\/p>\n
had an eventful day have we<\/p>\n
he’s gone mana destroyed<\/p>\n
forever I felt it<\/p>\n
Kira and Scourge had me pick you up from<\/p>\n
the hangar apparently they were the<\/p>\n
first to wake from the ritual<\/p>\n
you were unconscious for more than an<\/p>\n
hour what happened Master Satele wanted<\/p>\n
to talk<\/p>\n
just catching up or something like that<\/p>\n
you’ll have to tell me all about it<\/p>\n
but first what heading should I set<\/p>\n
epic as long as it’s relaxing<\/p>\n
