The lift descended into the darkest parts of the fortress, three Sith standing upon it, each selected to face the beast that had now called the catacombs it’s home. Whether they were chosen for their combat prowess or simply because they were disposable? Well, that was best left for each individual to ponder. The lowest levels of the once great domicile of the legendary Darth Vader were quiet, the warmth of the still recovering world raising the temperature of the passages significantly to a point that passing out simply from heat exhaustion was a very real possibility. Yet life still thrived below, and they were here to snuff it out.
Bir stood on the platform, lightsaber hilt in hand, as it finally touched down at the bottom of its track. His bare chest was exposed, as was the scar he had received on his pectoral, but even still the heat was near unbearable. With his free hand, he released the clasp of the cloak that was draped over his shoulders and allowed the fabric to fall to his bare feet as he stepped off the durasteel plate and onto the rocky surface. Despite the environmental challenges, he was beyond eager to scour the tunnels and to rid this world of one more gargantuan beast. Only the Sith shall be feared here.
”Are we ready, friends?! Glory awaits us!” Bir cackled, hunched forward slightly as he scanned the area ahead. ”Glory… Or death!” Tilting his head back in a laughter born of madness, Bir did not wait for a response but rather began to venture forth. Above, their forces were working to exterminate whatever threats may dwell within the fortress but down below was the true threat. Down here… Down here was where the fun would be had.
