Announcements of the Empire

[Sir Dakar]

IC:

"I have been your Dark lord for nearly a week now, and during this time I have noticed something that absolutely shocks me. The Sheer amount of power and brilliance that I have seen in this academy and empire Astounds me every day. I commend all of you for this obedience and encourage you to continue it. Another thing I have noticed is that the Empire's borders have suffered some... losses recently, and this needs to be reprimanded. We need to step up in securing new worlds, and we need to protect our borders from the republic and the accursed jedi. As I said before my reign shall be completely different then any other Sith before. This is why I have decided to order all the sith to concentrate fully upon aiding the Empire by Fighting alongside the army, for you standing shoulder to shoulder with them, creates the most powerful army ever assembled. The soldier feel your energy and are further motivated by it. This also leads me to my next order; All Sith are to immediately finish their training, and no longer take on new apprentices. I have watched the new recruits and they are far under what we used to accept. Concentrate on your own powers, and this Sith Armada shall be the strongest ever created. Or you can continue draining yourself to train somebody with an eight of your power, and we shall collapse almost immediately. The choice is mine, and no more training of new recruits will occur.

*Newly promoted Commander Janson, a Chiss Sith Navy officer stepped forward. He was proud to serve the Dark Lord of the Sith, showing it by his stance and salute.*

"Your Lordship, my forces are ready, as are the rest of the Sith Navy. We are ready to strike at the enemy at moment's notice with victory for the Empire guaranteed."

((Yay, I have an excuse for a short post!

Oh, wait. Forget you read that last line.

Bummer, my post is going to be short))

Salak led the three into the chambers where it seemed the Sith were congregating. His two companions followed him to listen to their Master speak, and though what he said made sense, it made the Lovas both happy and remorseful. He was not to be taught any more formally and would from that point on learn via experience, but that experience would make them useful to their Master. When Xiantos was finished and a silence prevailed for a few seconds after the Chiss spoke, Salak spoke up, What wouldst thou have us do, my Lord?

*Janson turned and saw the three Lovas near him. He knew nothing about their species, but knew these in particular were a force to be reckoned with. He bowed to the Lovas, acknowledging their superiority over him.*

When the announcement had been made, Sakiharu was in his chambers by then, having not heard the announcement directly from Darth Provin's mouth. However, as he sat in a comfortable chair in his room, reading a book he got from a library in the academy, he heard a beeping sound from his datapad. He blinked, a little surprised that it was beeping. It didn't do that very often, if at all. Setting his book down on the high table next to his chair, he grabbed at his datapad and turned on the main screen. It was a written copy of Darth Provin's speech that he made, which Sakiharu didn't hear but Sakiharu did request that if any announcements were made, they would be sent to him in a written format.

At first, Sakiharu was glad of what he was reading, about half way through. He was glad until the last few sentences. Then he grew to being annoyed, to angered. Without a second thought, Sakiharu crushed the datapad within his left hand, crushing it to pieces as it fell to the ground at his feet. 'What the hell is he thinking?!' Sakiharu thought to himself, severly angered, his eyes narrowed to an extreme degree. 'Lukor and Ekala are not anywhere near completing their training yet! And there's the training I have to do for myself. Though my own training can wait, their's can't just stop. It doesn't work like that!'

Getting up from his seat, he walked to the door but stopped mere inches from it, his mind racing. He turned sharply back to his room and began pacing it, his arms behind his back. He was trying to stay calm, to not over-react and yet what Darth Provin was doing was just stupid! 'Calm down, Sakiharu, and think. Just going to complain to him would get yourself punished if not killed. What to do...what to do...' Sakiharu paced his room for nearly five mintues before stopping, looking down at the floor harshly, his mind beating itself to figure out what to do. 'The best thing I can do at the moment is skip the extra training I was going to put them through and move on to main Force training. Once that's done, I'll give them a final test and promote them to Sith Knight. If he complains about that, he can otherwise kiss my ass. You don't send people to the front line who have had next to no Force training. It's a show of lack in leadership and it would show how poor of a leader they are.'

With that firmly in his mind, he sat down on his bed, intending to go to sleep and then go to his Acolytes in the morning to get on to Force training. He'd have to train them as a group to get it moving on to the final test. He didn't like the idea of group training. He hated it. But it was the best thing he could do at the moment. One thing was for sure though. Whatever Darth Provin was doing was not going to work out well in the end. Sakiharu's sure he's not the only one who's a Knight, angered by the announcement because they too were in the same situation. Who knows how it would be tomorrow but hopefully it would better than today.

What was a rocky acceptance, turned to complete anger and mistrust. Lukor stood with his eyes narrowed, his fists clenched. He trained with himself in years past, and now he was finally getting more strict with a knight. To Lukor, this logic was flawed. Speaking to himself, Lukor made his way to where he slept.

"The fool... Concentrating on our strong will lead to our downfall."

Demonous stood calmly near Lukor as the announcement was made, and heard his fellow Sith's anger. As Lukor left, Demonous heard him muttering to himself and telepathically replied, "I share your anger, Lukor. But remember he is the Dark Lord, and your words could as soon be misconstrued as treachery. Our fellow Sith are suspicious of all. Do not let them catch you speaking like that, even if only to yourself." Darth Demonous walked around the announcement hall, hearing mixed responses from his fellow Sith. He had to agree that canceling the training of new Sith was foolish, but Darth Provin was correct in that the Empire was slowly shrinking and that the Sith, from mere acolytes to Lords, were needed in order to correct it.

*Janson still stood there at attention, waiting to be ordered at ease by the Dark Lord. But something caught his attention. His straight blue mouth began to shrivel up as Janson tried to hold his emotions in, but it was too late. He began laughing loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.*

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHaaahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

 

[Hue]

As soon as Janson started laughing, Demonous spun around to glare at him. "And what, exactly, is so funny?!" He shouted, not caring about making a scene (because obviously Janson didn't either.)

 

[Wing]

*Janson dropped to his knees, and beat his fists on the floor laughing. After thirty seconds, he got back up in attention, but began laughing once more.*

 

[Carden Mannux]

OOC: You have no idea how to RP a Sith, do you?

 

[Wing]

OCC: no i was laughing in real life, and decided to just make him laugh also.

 

[Hue]

"I'm waiting, commander Janson," the Sith Lord said, glaring at the naval commander, "What do you find so amusing that you would risk insulting the Sith Empire. I mean, you're PART of it! If you would mock you're own organization, you're crazier than me! I defy you to be crazier than me!!!" Demonous was now pointing directly at the commander, his huge black eyes bulging.

 

[Sir Dakar]

Provin had paused to let the first part of his announcement sink in when he noticed that several people were quite upset about it. Foolish on their part however as they can not foresee as well as Xiantos can, and they do not simply understand what is going on.

"In no way is this to be confused with me stopping all of your trainings at this moment, for that would be severely foolish of me. Half trained Sith are worse then Sith not trained at all. You will all finish the training, and become full fledged Sith, but after these sessions no more will be conducted until I say."

Now was the true ending, and when the responses should have came, not in the pause as Xiantos waited for the groveling to end. However something else now annoyed him, the constant laughing coming from further in the crowd, and Demonous standing nearby trying to control a Commander.

"Demonous! I order you to silence that man in anyway you see fit."

 

[Michael Vereaux]

(Dakar: Sakiharu's in a room by himself so can you edit your post a bit. It sounds like {to me at least} that you were saying he was in a room with everyone else during the annoucement, which I said clearly in mine that he wasn't)

 

[Sir Dakar]

OOC: Oi coulda sworn it had said you had left the room, meh, no biggie.

 

[Hue]

((This will be interesting.. Killing a guy who already died in another thread...))

Darth Demonous instantly obeyed the Dark Lord's orders, revealing his second pair of arms and using the Force to lift the Commander into the air. Demonous smiled to himself as he bent the man backwards, splitting his spine with several loud cracks. Commander Janson ceased his movement and his limp head hung from his broken body, staring at Demonous with eyes that reflected his extreme pain and fear. As Janson clung to life a voice echoed inside his head, "Never disrespect the Dark Lord of the Sith." Suddenly Janson's head spun around, splitting his neck. He was staring at his heels as Demonous slammed him to the floor with a dull thud.

"I apologize for the interruption, my Lord," Darth Demonous said, bowing to Darth Provin.

Listening as Sakiharu sat there, his head held up by his left hand, the elbow on his knee, he wondered why he didn't just say that in the first place. Would have saved Sakiharu some time of anger, not that he doesn't like it but because sometime stress is not the best thing to have. 'Good, at least now I can finish the work of training them in the way I want to train them,' he thought to himself, quite happy now with this change of situations. That was one thing that he was happy to get off his mind.
