Great Jedi War
by: Calvo #13922

__________________________________________________________________
Calvo, a maroon skinned Elomin, paced around. Calvo was tall for his race, and had a distinct six blood drop tattoo on his chest. He had amber eyes, and short nose tusks. His horns were arranged in a crown structure. He wore his robe, which showed his tattoo, and was blue in the color of the obelisk.
The Jedi war was getting on his nerves. He hadn’t done anything yet. He moved around a corner in the temple. He came here without telling his master. He feared running into a Jedi Master who long vexed him, Jared. He Turned another corner and entered a room he hadn’t know existed. As soon as he stepped in a pre recorded Holo popped up.
"The importance of the ruins of the Academy cannot be understated. While precious artifacts still reside there and places of great darkness abound - including the tomb of Darth Bane - of utmost importance to our current predicament is its strategic value. Whoever controls the academy will control one of the few, primary access corridors directly to the Valley of the Dark Lords." The figure cranes its head, pausing for a moment as if considering what to say next. “The battles there are fierce, and a victory here would surely aid our forces tremendously.”
"You will find both friend and foe here amongst the warring factions - the One Sith, Synin Torin, seeks ancient weapons buried with Darth Bane, while Colyn "Tusken" Skybender has holed up near the Academy with a force of loyalists, attempting to establish a perimeter and await reinforcements. Twin sisters Rhiaen and Nalia Ust'essi, known Jedi operatives, were sighted in the area well before the conflict began, and undoubtedly still remain. Finally, there is a rogue Jedi, smuggler, and relic hunter - Connor Grey - that knows this area best, camped near the academy. He is unlikely to join any cause, but he would be a valuable ally were he to do so... or a dangerous enemy."
"Secure the Academy through any means at your disposal. Reinforcements for all parties are enroute - secure the facility prior to their arrival, and do what you can to ensure the strategic value of the site does not fall into enemy hands."
Yes, Thought Calvo, this war was different. Three faction of us have split and are at war. I side with Jac Cotelin. Leader of the rebels. Muz Ashen has been around too long. Rhiaen and Nalia Ust'essi, seem like my best bet. Though, I should kill some loyalists.
Calvo ignited his blade. The blue beam illuminated his face. “Yes. It will be done.” Calvo exited the room, and looked around. There was no one there. “Come out come out little loyalists.”
Calvo ran around, looking for the loyalists. Only when he looked back did he realized he was lost. He looked around again, and saw a red light, a saber much like his own. It was then joined by three more lights.
“Is that Colyn?” Called out Calvo. “If so come and face me Loyalist. Ashen shall fall.”
“It is Colyn and you, rebel, Shall fall.” Coyln cried out. “Charge!”
Calvo was swarmed by the four loyalists. He pulled out his chain as well and started fighting back against Colyn and his loyalists. As the First saber came toward him, Calvo lashed out his spike chain, catching the loyalists arm. He swung his saber severing the arm, and then head butted the man, cracking his skull. Again he Lashed with the chain and the spiked chain cut into a second loyalists neck, as Calvo killed another. Then it was just Colyn and Calvo.
Colyn slashed forward, and disarmed Calvo of his saber. “Bring it rebel. You shall die.”
Calvo pulled a knife out. “Are you so certain!”
Calvo lashed with the chain, and caught Colyn’s leg, tripping him. He slashed down with his knife cutting Colyns thigh. Colyn Swung his hand back, and smashed Calvo’s jaw, breaking it. Calvo reeled back, realising the chain. Calvo slammed his horns into Colyn’s head, a blow even stronger than that Calvo used to kill the previous loyalist, but Colyn just shrugged it off, and threw Calvo off of him.
“I said you would die rebel!” Colyn said. “But before you die, Who are you?”
Calvo felt the force flow through him and his jaw began to heal. “I am your death, Colyn. My name is Calvo.” Using the force, Calvo reached out, his lightsaber coming back to him. He ignited the blade, and stood up to match Colyn.
The two clashed, and blade locked. Calvo disengaged and rolled to grab his chain again. As he grabbed it Colyn slashed and Calvo, and missed, though he did hit the wall, causing dust to fall on Calvo.
“What! I just cleaned you Nerf Herder!” said Calvo. He felt his blood heat up, and his eyes began to unnerve Colyn. He lashed with his chain, catching Colyn's shoulder, and flipped Colyn, before plunging his blade into Colyn’s heart.
As the rage he felt subsided, Calvo spotted two Twi’leks. They approached him, and he blacked out. He woke up later, on the battlefield, injured and battered, the day almost over. A rebel commander came over and took him off the battlefield.
“You did good today. I don’t know why but the two Twi’leks found you and brought you to here. They mind tricked you into thinking you were still fighting that Loyalist Colin. You killed a total of 10 Loyalists in the battle today, in addition to Colyn and the four you fought before the battle. We may win this war yet.”
Calvo looked at the Commander. “ I remember none of that. How did I have that power?”
The commander looked at the battle field. “You showed skill with beast control, a good ability. You used your ability to get control of a Hssiss, and did some good damage. It was amazing. Had you not been out numbered you may have got away without such injuries.”
