Acolyte reborn! (Kav Dem's training)

[Phil]

Durtrak quickly activated his lightsaber and blocked the attack with ease, holding his blade where it was.

"That was ssloppy, I could ssee it coming."

With that, he shoved the sword back some as he held his saber with only one hand, looking down at this man. He looked like someone found off the street who knew nothing of what he had gotten himself into. It was revolting to look at...

"Try again. It isss unlikely you will never get through my defensse, sso keep sstriking until I ssay sso."

 

[Ka've]

Kav hated being patronized. Still light on his toes, he circled his opponent. Keeping a close eye on his new master, Kav reached slightly inside, tempting his master to strike at him. Still circling, still light on his toes.

He started slung the sword in a horizontal slash, then stopped a quarter done with the slash. Kav couched up some spit, and then spat is his masters face. Once it collided with his masters face, Kav began to finish the attack.

 

[Phil]

As soon as the disgusting saliva collided with Durtrak, a rage erupted from the Trandoshan as he blocked the strike with his saber, now holding onto it with both hands. The tactic Kav used would work on the less bright, but it would take more to work on Durtrak.

"Sso you fight dirty? No honor? Good. Ssuch traitsss will only weaken yoursself."

And that was when Durtrak suddenly brought up his right foot and drove it towards Kav's chest in an attempt to kick him back.

 

[Ka've]

Kav's chest crumpled as his masters knee collided with his chest. He fell to his knees, holding his chest and trying to catch his breath. In his weakened state, he couldn't last much longer.

Still on his knees, he took a swipe at his masters legs, refusing to give up.

 

[Phil]

Durtrak slammed his saber straight into the ground, blocking the attack, yanking the blade out of the cold ground before swiping it up to knock the sword out of his Kav's hand. He was not in his prime, he was too broken and worn to even fight right.

"You are not in the right condition to fight, you are too broken, too weak to even put up a fight. Go and get out of my ssight, tend to your woundsss and come back here when you feel you are not wassting my time. When you return, if you return, and you are not at your full sstrength, I will kill you where you sstand."

 

[Ka've]

Dazed and confused, Kav said "...Whe-Where can I go to tend my wounds?"

 

[Phil]

"Find your own way to the medical room, You musst find your own way there if you want to ssurvive the next day."

With that, Durtrak turned around so his back was facing Kav, folding his hands infront of him as he started to concentrate on the Darkness that emitted from it. Soon, the dark presence was stretching throughout the whole room once more.

 

[Ka've]

Kav stumbled out of the room, dazed and confused. This is it he thought, Am I going to die down here....? He grinned slightly. He had always thought it would go down like this. Somewhere where he couldn't help himself...where his anger couldn't help him overcome the situation. Where no escape was possible.
Don't give up just yet.....Blackness came.
Kav's eyes snapped open. Where was he? I have to move he thought.

Lifting himself up from the ground that he had fallen in, he looked around him. A tunnel? Only one way to know.

He continued down the tunnel, peaking in to every dug out room along the way. Most looked sleeping spaces, and he saw one that looked like the familiar set up of a mess hall..then he found the informatory. The bright red packaging that wrapped the medical items were a dead giveaway. As the droids approached...Kav lost conciouseness......




Why do my eyes hurt?

Kav's eyes popped back open. He was still in the informatory, but propped up on a wall. His back hurt. With a grunt he reached back and felt on his back.....drag marks. Someone had dragged him over here because he was in the way....

Home........he thought


He looked down at his body. How long had he been asleep for? His wounds weren't completely healed, but he could move much much better. Some soreness still remained, but the majority of it was gone.
We have work to do. Remember.....
Kav stood up, he was hungry.....very hungry. His stomach growled in anticipation as he thought of the way back to the mess hall.

Most of the lights were lit as Kav made his way to the mess hall, which was surprisingly full of students, all in uniform. They all wore black garments with different color patches above their right bicep. Kav guessed that they were to identify what rank of the Dark Jedi they belonged to. He sat down at a table which already had food and begun to eat.

After finishing his meal....he thought of what to do.
Our wounds are healed. Continue to train. Your right.
He stood up and walked out of the mess hall, avoiding the eyes that were staring at him. Did they think he was a intruder?

A foot stuck out from one of the students at the end of a table. Kav stumbled over it, tried to catch his balance, and then fell straight to the ground. He heard mumbled laughter while his face was on the ground. The others were mocking him....
Do I even have to tell you what to do?
Kav flipped his body around, looking for the one responsible. Ah, obvious. The big one laughing the hardest. He sat holding his fat belly, absolutely laughing his fat ass off.
Kav flung his body up, with his foot aimed at at the fat kids face. It collided with a crack, and down went the fat boy. Kav didn't relent. Another snap with another kick with the fat kid on the ground. He tried to get up, Kav kneed him in the face. He turned around and grabbed the tray the boy was eating off of and bashed it in his face. Over...and over....and over.....and over.....

He let up after a little while. No one had stopped him, they just all watched. Kav looked down at the mess. The kid was breathing, but there was dark blood on the floor mixed with teeth...and if Kav wasn't mistaken, jaws were not supposed to be the way his was looking. Looking around, he got the idea that no one was going to help this kid......He looked around again. Someone had at least dragged him to the infirmary.
**** him

Kav stood up and walked out, eyes still on him. He kept walking the hallways....trying to find the entrance back to his .....Master.....
he will get his yet.....

 

[Phil]

Durtrak waited patiently, almost as if he was not expecting someone to come into his quarters. He had finished meditating and was instead at work on constructing another lightsaber, lifting the parts into the air infront of him as they rotated into the right places until one half of it was constructed. The dark presence inside his room was soothing, and it kept the cold taint from the outside at bay for the next day or so.

That was when Durtrak sensed a slight disturbance in the temple, an attack had occurred it would seem in the mess hall where the students ate. It was common for the students to fight eachother, for it separated the strong from the weak. He could sense that the attacker was heading towards his quarters however, and the presence was familier...

 

[Ka've]

Kav moved the curtains that protected the room aside and stepped into the room. There he is......... His new master sat on a mat, his back toward Kav.

Kav felt power..evil power surround him as he moved closer...

 

[Phil]

"It isss about time."

Durtrak said, turning towards his student to see that he has made a recovery, but there was still something on him that was different from before. Durtrak walked over to him, trying to sense what it was before he suddenly realized it.

"Did you enjoy it? Did you enjoy causing pain to the other asss he laughed and mocked you?"

 

[Ka've]

He knows......

How had he found out so fast? Word apparently traveled fast. So what should I say? Yes? I did enjoy it.....

"...........yes........."

 

[Phil]

"Good, then you were not bothered by it. You will cause more pain in the future, and the lasst thing we need isss for one of our recruitsss to develope a ssoft sspot. Now that you are healed, we will continue where we left off."

With that, Durtrak took a few steps towards Kav and pointed his finger towards a spot on the left side of the wall.

"You musst learn the Code of the Bogan. Learn it, tell me it and give me your definition for it'sss meaning. We will not continue until you undersstand what you musst become."

 

[Ka've]

Kav's head turned toward the wall, following his Masters finger. Carved into the wall were a series of lines. They read:

No peace, only suffering.
No knowledge, only instinct.
No serenity, only passion.
No harmony, only chaos.
No life, only death.

No peace, only suffering. What did this mean? Obvious, we cannot ever rest in our war. There must always be constant suffering.

No knowledge, only instinct. Our instincts will guide us and make us stronger. Trust not of what others say, what is written in books, but go with what our emotions tell us.

Kav moved on lower.

No serenity, only passion. There must never be a calm moment. Fuel our emotions to direct our actions.

No harmony, only chaos. Nothing may live in peace. We..must...destroy all that oppose us, and everyone around them..........everyone.....I do? Yes we do....it is the only way.

No life, only death. No mercy unto all. Never spare them. There is no life. Their purpose is to be destroyed by you. They are nothing. Ever.


He stood in front of the wall for hours, re-reading the lines over and over again, contemplating the meanings. Where these to be upheld always? Could he really do this? Kill everyone that opposed him? He shuddered slightly, then recovered quickly, hoping his new Master didn't notice.

Finally, after another few hours, Kav pulled his head away from the wall and turned toward his Master. His hand still pointed toward the inscriptions, Kav began to recite.

"No peace, only suffering.
No knowledge, only instinct. Don't be afraid.
No serenity, only passion.
No harmony, only chaos. Do not stutter.
No life, only death."

He took a deep breath and then continued. "We may never be at peace, only constant war. We are to kill all that oppose us on sight, with raw emotion and power. Never spare any. We must use our instincts above all else, destroy harmony, and deliver death. All life exists for us to end....." Kav hung is head. What kind of monster...am I going to become?

 

[Phil]

Durtrak waited for hours to finish, and not once did he move from his spot as he watched the acolyte recite the code of the Bogan. Once he finished and gave his meaning of it to Durtrak, the Trandoshan only gave a nod of approval before speaking.

"Only the sstrong will exisst in the end while the weak will ssuffer painful death. Now you undersstand what you musst do and what you will become, for the better good of yoursself. You are now sset on the path of becoming a Marauder of the Bogan, but you lack a Lightssaber. Your next tassk is to consstruct your own."

 

[Ka've]

Lightsaber?

Kav raised a eyebrow. What was a lightsaber..? And how would he make one? "Pardon for asking me....master........but what is a lightsaber....and how do I make one?"

 

[Phil]

The lightsaber from Durtrak's robe floated up and into his hand as he ignited it, the dark yellow blade emerging from the hilt. Instead of explaining however, Durtrak slowly started to walk towards the acolyte like a predator corners it's prey.

"Let'sss ssee now... You come in here a bleeding messs on the verge of death, you sseek to know the Darknesss yet you know nothing of it, you are incapable of fighting, and now you have no idea what thisss isss that I hold in my handsss."

That was when Durtrak was now infront of him, placing the lightsaber directly infront of the two as he held it with both hands tightly. The ignorance this man possessed was surprising, and he was beginning to suspect that he was brought here to be executed instead of becoming a Bogan.

"You are wassting my time with your ignorance. I would expect ssuch thingsss from a child, but you are inexcussable. A pesst. A parassite."

 

[Ka've]

Kav could feel the heat emitting from the saber directly in front of his face. The dark yellow saber glowed brightly in Kav's eyes, straining him to see. He took a few steps back to avoid the light and his Masters anger.....

A pest? A parasite..?..........show him........

The dark room disappeared even further into the shadows, leaving only Kav and his Master, both illuminated by his Masters yellow lightsaber. Deep in concentration, Kav focused solely on himself.....and his Master....Kav was searching, concentrating, trying to call the Force or whatever power he could use......

Ah...found it.....

The world snapped back into reality. Kav opened his eyes and stuck out his right hand...and flung a wave of the Force at his Master......

 

[Phil]

Durtrak's eyes suddenly widened as he stepped back from Kav, feeling the concentrated energy in him. When he released a blast of the Force, Durtrak threw his free hand up infront of it, catching the wave as it slightly pushed him back. A second later Durtrak thrusted the wave of energy straight back to Kav, knowing the force of it would send him straight into the back wall. He was lying from the start...

 

[Ka've]

Kav watched his Master, in slight awe, as he absorbed the powerful wave that Kav had thrown, and countered with his own. He felt his whole body be torn apart by white hot rage. His feet left the floor..his body flung across the room, his head colliding with the stone wall with a sickening crack!

Darkness.........
