The First of Many

[Braden]

This was the first of many, Seraphim thought as he walked through the city of Theed. He had only recently cemented his place in the Sith as a fully fledged member of the order. But he wanted more, more wealth, more glory, more power. And one is only as powerful as those who follow you. So here he was on the planet of Naboo looking to create and build his power base. It would all start with an apprentice, a young one full of the force ready to molded by his whim, into his instrument of destruction, just as Samar had formed him.

The city was busy with the daily foot traffic passing by, speeders flying overhead and the occasional starship blasting out of the spaceport. He wore a simple set of clothes to conceal himself within the throng of people, a heavy leather jacket concealed his two sabers, his single blade on his left and his double blade behind his back and two smoke grenades. He had already surveyed the city the day before pin-pointing the source of force potential to a few square blocks. Today he would find him, turning off the main street he closed his eyes and opened himself up to the force. He let his mind roam free from his body as he searched out the unknowing new acolyte.

Felix walked through theede his armour shining in the light. Naboo was a beacon of civilisation in the area and there for a useful stopping point for the Jedi. Felix admired Naboo they where surrounded by threats yet became a power house but they did not let it corrupt them. There military was strong for region yet only geared for defence. The Jedi in Felix admired them the warrior in him thought them cowards for not breaking peace to there surrounding sectors. Still they let the Jedi come and go as they pleased. But to day Felix felt something, something was wrong. Though Nubians thought them self pure they had just has mutch vice as the republic. But this darkness was different, there was evil among them and Felix would drag it in to the light to be purged by fire.

Seraphim felt the prescience he was searching for, it felt like someone something pulling at the back of his mind. As he concentrated on it more the pull became stronger, he let the pull of his mind move his body. He let the force carry him through the side streets. Left, Right, Right again the streets became quiet before opening up into a wide courtyard. A fountain glistened in the middle, the spray of water cooled the summer sun against his skin.

Underneath the fountain a pair of children played, a young nautalan and a human. To one side under the shade of a nearby building sat what he assumed was the parents children. Reaching out with the force one more time he pinpointed the Nautalan as the source of his search. Now came the decision, force or diplomacy what should he choose.

Walking up to the children he knelt down next to the fountain splashing some of the water on to his face. He looked over to the children and saw that the Nautalan boy was lifting a small pebble with the force showing off to the human girl. He was about eight or nine, ready to be molded into the perfect servant.

"That really is a natural gift you have there."

The little kid shocked dropped the stone and started to move away. But Seraphim just smiled and lifted the stone with the force as well.

"Do not worry I am just like you."

At the commotion the children mothers took notice and walked over to Seraphim.

"Can I help you sir?"

"Potentially, do you know that your son has an amazing gift?"

She only stared back at him in defiance.

"I am from the Jedi Order, we seek out children like your son and teach them how to use 'the force' in the correct manner."

 

[Andrewza]

Felix followed the dark feeling till it led him to a rather secluded area with only a handful of people all of them now under a tree along with two kids. And it was from there the darkness came. Stoping he let the force show him his target a action that if his target was trained in the force would alert him to his presence. But Felix was not one to stab a man in the back. Even a sith had the right to surrender and if they refused die in battle.

He now knew his target but waited for him to act first, hopefully the civilians would clear out.

 

[Braden]

The conversation was going well, the parents seemed to be open about her son being trained in the ways of the force. He had been using his 'gift' for not so righteous means she had told him and having someone to guide him the a Jedi seemed right. Though she was apprehensive about leaving for good. As Seraphim was about to start on his next round of persuasion he felt the pang of the force behind him, someone was here and he was not to be trifled with.

He turned away from the family looking across to see the man dressed in armor standing across the clearing. From the look on his face he was a Jedi, or someone who had the same pompous attitude as the Jedi.

"The man is here for your son. He aims to take him away."

The mother started to panic.

"Its fine, I will take care of him now run."

He pulled the child behind him and began to back away from the man in armor. He fiddled inside his jacket undecided to draw his light-saber or his smoke grenade.

 

[Andrewza]

"I don't like being called a kidnaper by a kidnaper" Felix Drew his lightsabre and it grasping it in two hands. It blue blade shooting forward. This man did not warrant a bow or a show of respect. "One chance, surrender or be destroyed" Not so deep down Felix hoped he would fight.

 

[Braden]

It was always like the Jedi to be so forward and direct, preaching peace but jumping into a fight whenever they can get one. Tilting his head to one side he spoke to the child behind him.

"Make for the alley and find somewhere to hide I will find you."

The child nodded and ran off in the opposite direction to the Jedi leaving the pair alone in the courtyard. Reaching further into his jacket he pulled out his double ended light-saber from behind his back, he stepped forward into a fighting stance his left leg leading, hold the blade out to his side two blades crimson blades leapt forth. He steadied himself ready for the Jedi's first move, taking a deep breath in channeling the force within him.

"Why do the Jedi always interfere where they are not wanted?"

 

[Andrewza]

"I Take it that means you don’t surrender" With that Felix rushed forward closing the distance and send finished with a diagonal slash at the Sith.

 

[Braden]

Seraphim, didn't reply. His eyes locked on the Jedi he watched him attack the diagonal slash from top to bottom looking to cleave him in two. Sweeping his left foot behind him, Seraphim brought his saber across his body parrying the Jedi's blade with the upper half of his own. Continuing his rotation, Seraphim took two steps away out of range before spinning back in his blade whizzing over his head, he slashed across the Jedi's stomach looking to carve him two.

 

[Andrewza]

With the a twist of the hand Felix brought his blade vertical blocking the attack before stepping foward in to the attack to close the distance. Getting close Felix sent a knee towards the Sith's groin. There was no fancy moves with Felixs strikes block or strike. Felix moved with brute strength and speed

 

[Braden]

Foot action, Seraphim liked foot action. Arrantaku was designed with leg combat in mind. Though the Jedi was close and he would need to take some sort of blow. Twisting his right leg, Seraphim twisted his body away from the Jedi. Lifting his left leg he used the side of his lower leg to block the incoming attack. Using the force to aid him, Seraphim jumped with his standing leg and aimed a kick at the side of the Jedi's head. As his body turned in the air he brought around his light-saber to deliver a follow up strike at his upper body.

 

[Andrewza]

Felix felt his knee impact with the Siths lower leg but not the satisfying crunch of a broken leg. Not that that it bother him the sith had left him self open. The kick coming in was ignored. A ringing sound filled the helmet on Felix's head but the helmet could take a direct hit from a blaster rifle so a kick would be nothing. With one hand Felix brought his blade up to block the siths lightsber. With the sith airborne and up close Felix step in and sent a punch straight at the upper leg of Siths blocking leg. Hopefully a injured leg would slow him down.
