Artorigas smiled behind his mask as the blue flames of the tombs torches burst into life, creating dancing shadows all around. This was truly made by Lord Andros, but now it was time to see if it was also made by the ancient Sith Lord. As Xeno spoke he nodded, the smile still hidden behind his mask as he continued to walk into the tomb. "Yes, the essence of The Force is so thick I can almost taste it. I have not felt this kind of concentrated power for a long time." It was only when he first visited the ancient worlds of the Sith had he felt this overwhelmed with power, though they now felt natural to him when he walked their. Perhaps over time even this condensed field of Dark Side energy would feel natural.

As he walked further forward he could feel a tug on his mind, he knew what it was as soon as it appeared. It was the Dark Side, the small part of him who had not given into its deepest darkest natures, the bit which gave him those blue eyes and light tone of voice. It was tempted, surrounded by so much potent Dark Energy, who would not be. Artorigas would put money on even a full Jedi being tempted in a place such as this.

Running his hand along the walls he felt the engravings on his fingertips, the sharp edges as the chisels had made their cuts still eerily sharp after such a long time. The passage sloped down, the angle was just enough to force Artorigas to lean back as he walked, it was a pain more than anything, it would make reacting quickly difficult his balance just off kilt as he moved. About two hundred yards down the passage it opened up into a large room, in the middle a large glowing black stone hung in mid air. As both he and the Zabrak entered a voice echoed out. "Kuris dares dalyva nuyak Kapas." Artorigas did not recognise the language so hesitated, then the voice appeared again. "Vea dares can'esah ch'eo Csucni." Again he knew not the language, but then finally he heard it. "Who dares enter my Tomb."

Stepping forward from the entrance of the room, Artorigas spoke loudly so even through the muffling of the rebreather he could be heard by all around. "I enter, Artorigas of House Wessex, A Sith and Seeker of Knowledge." Their was a moment of pause before the voice erupted in laughter. "You are no Sith." With the statement came lightning, a bolt flung out from the stone striking Artorigas clean in the chest sending him flying back into the stone behind him just missing Xeno by a hair. As he began to rise he watched as the smoking form of four Terentatek's poured out from the center stone. "This is not going to be easy." He said through gritted teeth pulling himself onto one knee.

It was a glorious tomb. The engravings were fresh. The Zabrak looked at the ancient language and then forward as the passage sloped downward. Xeno appreciated the beauty of the tomb and had fully embraced himself with the dark energy that filled the room.

In doing so his eyes began to glow bright. Yellow and red leaving his eyes, and his body began to feel light. He could strength coming to him. It was the immense power the dark side offered. He felt it bursting within him the burning sensation, the crushing force, and the sweet sensation.

He watched as Artorigas was rejected from the tomb. Lightning struck him and just barely passed by. The body of his companion flew past him. Great. What exactly would they need to fight?

Terentateks, lovely. Though they were in the form of smoke. How unfortunate. Xeno hadn’t any idea how to rid the tomb of smoke monsters. He thought a force push would do the trick.

He sent a blast of the force to the smoke beasts. The gust of force blew through the smoke and right after, the smoke formed the terentatek once more.

“You’re right. Got any ideas?”

Artorigas pulled himself up from one knee, it was harder than normal, some of his muscles still spasming from the electricity which had so recently wracked his body. His arm twitched as he pulled his light-saber from the buckle on his belt, igniting the blade, a small purple glow erupted around him. He felt the force well up inside Xeno before it launched out at the smoke Terentatek, the wave of force just melted through the smoke. Well that wasn't going to work, he wracked his brain as two of the smoke creatures advanced on his position.

He kept out of reach but he was running out of room quickly as they backed him into a corner. The first one came quicker noticing his situation, a black smoke talon struck out towards his head, instinctively he raised his saber to block the attack. He felt a shock through his arm as the smoke crashed into the blade like a physical object. His mind lit up, the solution coming to him quickly, but before he could act the second beast was on him, its own talon ripping for his head. Without the time to block he had to dodge.

Placing a foot on the wall behind him he pushed forward diving and rolling between the two creatures as the second struck. Missing its mark the talon cleaved through its fellow smoke apparition, seemingly doing nothing to him. Turning to Xeno he shouted to be heard. "We need to prove our self as Sith, techniques like Telekinesis wont work as even the Jedi can do that. The Dark Side is what is needed. I hope you know some cool tricks." He finished, he himself did not, the fact he had not fully fell meant he had little control over items like Force Lightning, the only thing he had was his partially corrupted Kyber Crystal. It seemed as if saber combat was the only way he was getting through this.

Some tricks huh? The Zabrak looked down to his hands. They were heavy with power. He could feel the dark side within him. He looked over to his struggling companion and before he knew it his hatred for the smoke creatures had caused sparks.

Electricity began igniting from his hands. Then eventually enveloping his arms. Xeno smiled at the thought of such power. He lifted his arms to face the two creature in front of Artorigas and blasted the lightning directly at the smoke. It worked.

Lightning engulfed the smoke beasts and had them crying out in pain as they faded away. It was a beautiful sight. The smoke faded out like the night at dusk.

Then he felt a punch hit his body. It had little to no effect. The power rushing through him allowed for him to shrug it off. His focus shifted to the smoke monster in front of him. He lifted his right arm and gripped his hand, the force began crushing the smoke. Balling it into a solid drop of water and then dropping it. There had only been one left.

The Zabrak looked at the creature that stood between he and Artorigas. Then he looked to his companion and asked,

“Would you like to take it? Or should I?”

Lightning erupted from his fellow Sith, that was the true power of the Dark Side. A voice in the back of his mind edged him forward to take that power, to pull it within himself and unleash his own. To crush the remaining smoke monsters and even Xeno himself, to become more than he is now to become a true power within the galaxy.

As the third monster disappeared through the rushing power of Xeno, Arotrigas forced himself to compose his raging mind. No, he would not give in under someone else's terms, he was the only one who decided his fate, his mind and his soul. That was down to him and not to some secret voice in the back of his head. Looking at the final creature he turned to Xeno. "He is mine." He said before striding forward.

His stance was wide, his steps heavy as if the weight of the Dark Side within the room sat upon his shoulders. He held his saber in two hands the blade tipped to the bottom right as he reached his pray. The creature swung with one wild lash of its talons, Artorigas ducked under, slipping to the left and pulling his blade up and cutting into the smoke. The energy within his blade burnt through the monster, a cry of pain erupting from its non-existent lungs. It swung around with reckless fury, its right talons trying to cleave apart Artorigas' skull. Ducking the blow, he twisted on his right foot turning in place, his left food glided across the floor behind him shifting his position behind the creature. Twisting his wrists around the blade came to a point hovering over the middle of the beasts back, with a step forward he plunged the blade into its translucent back.

Artorigas could only assume that the inherit Force Power within the Kyber Crystal was what allowed him to strike that final blow. The scream of the beast faded away as the smoke drifted upwards disappearing through the solid stone ceiling. Panting at both the physical and mental assertion, Artorigas righted himself and looked back towards the centre of the room, ready for the next challenge. "Good..." The voice returned. "Your strength in the Dark Side is proven, but are you true Sith? Hmmm, how to prove it. Give me the Code!"

The code. It was that simple? Well if that’s all it asked on him. The of course he would oblige. After all, what Sith doesn’t know their own code?

“Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.”


The Zabrak let it sit for a moment. It was silent. Xeno turned to face his companion and then back to where the voice sounded to be coming from. The he heard it. The voice was back.

“Correct. Though, there is another challenge fore you continue. The guardians of the tomb have been awoken. Should you succeed in defeating them you may earn your way past the doors.”

Xeno had cracked his neck and then his knuckles before saying,

“Alright.. let’s do this.”

In that moment three force tomb guardians had began to walk through the door as it only opened long enough for the three to go through and then instantly close. This would be a problem. The material the are made of is highly resistant to force abilities. The inside cores being made completely of compressed force energy.

“Ok. Well it could be worse. Let’s just rid them quickly I have the two on the left.”

Artorigas nodded to his companion after the Code was spoken, well he was at least trained in more than being a brute. He thought, it seemed though that his brutish nature may be of use again he thought as the voice spoke of guardians. That was never a positive word when you were in a tomb be it Sith, Jedi or anyone else's for that matter.

He had never seen something like this before, the metallic enemy was almost twice his height, its head scrapping just below the ceiling of the stone room. Their footsteps betrayed their lack of grace, their sounded like a Sith Walker as they advanced up the room. His fellow Sith decided to be brash and take two whilst he took one, Artorigas was not one to argue, the point was not to be extravagant nor go for the most kills but to survive. If the Zabrak could distract two maybe even take one out whilst he dealt with the other it would only benefit him better.

The floating black crystal split the room in two, with Xeno already on his left he moved to the right and tried to lead one away from the others. It wouldn't be that simple it seemed as the three lined up a few feet away from their entrance points before their chests began to glow bright, two initially aimed at him with the one to the far left aiming at Xeno. Arotrigas could feel the energy growing 'Cock' he thought as he dove out of the way as the blast ripped into the ground where he just was.

After the first burst of fire the two Guardians on the flanks moved forward the middle one staying put at the door. I guess the whole Xeno distracting two was out of the question. The metalic monster charged towards him, its weight giving it freightning momentum as it swung its arms down to try and crush him. Channelling The Force through his body, he felt the heat and rush course down his veins. Its power allowed him to leap back at the last moment, clearing the skull crushing move by a few feet. Landing on his toes he leant forward and pushed back off with all his natural and Force imbued might launching himself into the recovering machine. Holding his lightsaber to his bottom left he swept the blade diagonally up and across the machine as he passed, expecting major damage perhaps a lost limb in the process. The reality however was much different, his blade had sunk deep into its armour but no major damage appeared done. He rolled forward out of the way of the retaliatory strike from the metallic monster. "I guess this is gonna be harder than we thought." He mumbled through gritted teeth before moving back in.

Xeno had noticed one of the three had began coming towards him. Only one? What a waste. Xeno had ignited both blades as he ran towards the guardian and jumped in the air sending force lightning into the metal of the guardian. Unfortunately the trick hadn’t much of any effect. Rather peculiar.

Xeno tried the force choke and it didn’t phase it. What was different about this thing? The Zabrak was running out of force moves. Then it dawned on him.. maybe it was immune to force attacks. The other was vulnerable so maybe this one is immune.

“Hey! Use your sabers! These things aren’t affected by the force.”


Surely he already knew that but Xeno had to be sure. Especially with how dangerous these things are. Xeno let the giant thing get close and waited for it to grab at him. In the missions he slices his blades at the guardians arm leaving deep, fried lacerations on its arm. After the Xeno kicked it back a few feet. And prepared himself for its next attack.

He heard his fellow Sith's shout but gave it no answer. He was to busy trying not to have his head caved in to be able to respond to something as simple as that. The wild swing from the metallic creature forced him to side step further around the side and back of it, luckily for Arotrigas the beasts bulk made its devastating attacks unwieldy, as it tried to overcompensate for the momentum. Slipping into the creatures blind spot from another attack he twisted his grip, placing the palm of his right hand upon the base of the hilt he stabbed the purple blade into the back of what would have been its right thigh.

The blade slowly pushed through, Artorigas hoping that somewhere inside this machine he would hit a line or cable which would disable its leg, but this didn't seem to be the case. Twisting its body it went to swing at him again, to move in time he was forced to deactivate his lightsaber and dive to his left. He gave himself some distance from the beast, trying to give him time to think, as it stalked towards him he did notice a slowness in his walk from before. Perhaps the stab had worked if only a small amount. 'Time to try again.' He thought.

Moving forward quickly, he kept his body low channelling The Force into his legs to keep his momentum and balance at the optimal. Sliding down between the creatures legs he up righted himself behind the creature before again stabbing his blade into the right leg, this time into what would have been the monsters knee. As the purple blade sliced through he saw the creature buckle under its weight slightly, he watched the sentient mind shift its weight to its leg leg. 'Good he had this' He thought it was only time he needed.

It was harder to defeat these things when they can’t feel pain. Xeno continued for a while dodging strikes and poking wholes. It was like a freaking pin cushion.

Then the Zabrak would try a technique he learned from home. He would dodge this next attack and roll underneath the guardian. Once on the other side he would hop onto its shoulders wrapping his legs around the neck. Then he drove his blades into the head portion of the sentient.

It stopped moving. Xeno relaxed but was grabbed by it a moment later and thrown to the ground. The Zabrak had no idea how to take this thing down properly now.

“Hey! You got any ideas how to take things things down? Goin for the head doesn’t work!”


Xeno continued his dodging and rolling as he was listening for an answer from his busy companion. Slicing the lightsaber along the side of the guardian only left lacerations and holes within its metal exterior.

The metallic monster was even more sluggish now it had most of its weight shifted to one side. Another wild swing made it turn on the spot giving Artorigas easy access to the other leg. A twist and push and the purple blade plunged into the back of the left thigh, its titanic weight seemed to make the metal buckle slightly but still it was on its feet. Another swing of its fists forced him back.

One more and it would be on its knees not able to move, at least that's what he hoped. Darting back in The Force as his guide he swept under another blow before penetrating the blade into the back of the left knee, the screech of metal began emanating from the leg as it began to buckle in on itself. Deactivating his saber Artorigas jumped back away from the monster as it fell down onto its collapsed knees. Know he only had to disable the top half, he thought. That moment of hesitation however cost him, the beast turned on its overly flexible waist and let out a stream of power from its glowing chest.

Even with The Force to guide him, Artorigas was a little slow and the blast caught his left shoulder as he dove for cover, a burning sensation ripped through his body as the pain receptors on his arm screamed. He complied with their request and let out a shout of his own, though the mask muffled some of the noise. Rising to his feet he watched as the monster began to seemingly charge himself back up for another attack, his chest began to glow brighter and brighter, the deep blue evolving into a pure white. He watched the attack closely ready to spring to one side or another, his mind examining the monster for a weakness.

Then he saw it, a moment before it shot its long range attack the chest expanded, armour plates moved and the core was free to launch its attack. That is when he needed to attack. Rolling to his right to avoid the attack, keeping his damaged arm away from the ground Artorigas began charging his own attack. The core began to glow again as The Force flowed through the Sith, holding out his hands he readied himself, waiting, waiting, then he struck as armour plates moved themselves aside he reached out with The Force. An ironlike grip forming around the creatures core, with all the might The Force gave him he pulled back, his arms wrenching with the movement. It resisted for a moment before pulling free.

As soon as it was removed from the body, the glow disappeared a small metallic ball clattered into the wall to the side as the monster fell from its knees onto the ground, lifeless. "You need to get to the core, wait for it to attack and then strike." Artorigas shouted through the mask.

Xeno had been dodging and stabbing but nothing was working properly. He thought this thing was just immortal until he looked over to see that his companion ripped out the things core with the force.

“They have cores??”

Xeno began try to get close but it wasn’t working. He jumped into its torso and shoved both sabers into its neck and it just grabbed him and threw him. Xeno landed on his feet as he looked up to see it taking a power stance.

“Now is my chance.”

Xeno was waiting to see the core open. Once it cracked open and he saw enough light from the core he sent a shock of force lightning straight to it. The metal man began twitching from the electricity, eventually the light died out as a ball rolled out from the inside of the guardian. Xeno stepped his lightning as he looked over to see there was one target left.

The Zabrak made his way beside his companion and readied for a fight on the final target. The duo would surely be stable to take it apart. Once it was in pieces would be the time to attack at the core.

Artorigas shielded his eyes as the lighting arced around the metallic guardian Xeno fought. He still stood close to his own defeated enemy, one eye on his fellow Sith another on the final guardian. He was concerned that the final one would strike as soon as either of them let down their guard so he was ready. The Force was pent up within him ready to either blast at the beast or pull Xeno out of dodge if the need arise. As the light died out within the machine and it collapsed to the floor Artorigas fully turned to view the final machine in their way.

This one was different instead of a fully grey metallic exterior like the first two it was highlighted with gold and red, it was clear this one was different be it arms or armour it would take at least one round of give and take to make sure. As Xeno walked up beside him Artorigas shifted to the left. "My arm is hurt, so you take the right side, I will go left." This would allow him to swing easier with his right hand. "I say we go for the legs first, limit its movement then head for the core. Seemed to work well with the other one."

He waited for his fellow Sith's agreement before moving in, transferring that built up energy into his legs he powered forward. Shooting diagonally to the left at the last moment he avoided a strike of the creatures arm, with his good hand he stabbed down into the back of the creatures thigh. The saber seemed to glance off the golden strike of armour before plunging into the silver piece beneath. The cut was not as deep as the ones he inflicted on the downed machine, but he had to retreat as a flailing arm reached around to grab him. "Be careful of the Gold its resistant to your saber." He shouted across the room, before preparing another attack.

Resistant metal. These guardians are high class. It would have been nice to have to constructed for the Sith. It was time to destroy this one though. The only way to get it ripped piece by piece would be with his power.

Xeno rushed in after Artorigas only on the opposite side. Then as the guardian focused on his companion, Xeno used the force to power his strikes with his sabers. One under the arm and the other above it. Right at the joint in the shoulder. The Zabrak did a scissoring technique on the guardian.

After he turned on the force jets in his arms the sabers had a slight hesitation of slicing through but eventually went. The left arm of the metal monstrosity had come clean off. Leaving a hot metallic stub at the shoulder. It had less attack capabilities.

Xeno hopped off and back flipped in the air landing in his feet 15 feet away from the guardian. He had chosen to stalk it and strike as Artorigas would. It allowed to catch the thing off guard. Xeno looked to his companion and nodded as he was confirming that the other knew what he was thinking.

Then the Zabrak looked back to the monster and prepared to go in for another attack.

His fellow had removed an arm and he had disabled a leg, it was a good start but it only seemed to enrage the metallic monster, though he had no idea if these things had emotions. As a retaliation the creatures core began to glow, but it was too fast for either of them to notice, going from the dark blue to a bright yellow-white in a mater of seconds. Two giant blasts erupted out of the chest, one flying at each of the two Sith.

They both had only a split second to react, jumping back the ball of power crashed into the ground before him, sending a shower of stone in all directions. Shards cut into his clothes ripping edges, he heard two smack into his helmet they would have easily cut into deep into his face if it was not their to protect him.

This had to be ended soon, he could see the monster begin to charge his ranged attack again, it was quicker than the others. "Xeno, distract him. I will get the core." Deactivating his lightsaber and placing it back on his belt he began channelling the energy of The Force within himself, as the power grew within him, the voice in the back of his head grew louder. It was almost shouting in his ear. 'Give In, Give In, Take My Power!' He felt the desire, the need to cast a bolt of pure energy at not only the monster but the Zabrak attacking it. It took all of his composure to keep it together, to not fall to this desire and need to cause harm. Shaking his head he locked his eyes on the glowing core, ready to react.[/abox]

The core was out. This was good. Now it’s yellow and shot a blast. This was not so good. Xeno lifted his sabers in an X position to block the blast. It’s sent him backwards as he blocked it. It was a lucky save. Though now it seemed to have separated completely.

“Yea yea I gotcha!”

The Zabrak ran in front of the coreless guardian. He was buying time for Artorigas. The metallic sentient reached to grab Xeno with its right arm, since it was his only. Though it was somewhat swift, the Zabrak was quicker and shifted slightly out of the way and did the scissor trick he had done before but this time at the joint of the elbow. All that was left was legs.

It tried to Spartan kick the Zabrak into next Tuesday, but yet again Xeno’s speed came into play. The crafty acolyte rolled under the leg sending both sabers into the knee of the left leg. As he had the blades in it, he ripped them outward in opposite directions. Leaving the knee without proper support. Once the metal man stood its body collapsed on itself leaving the left leg useless. The metal at the knee, that was left, broke apart.

Surely this had bought the other acolyte enough time to figure out what he’ll do with the core. Xeno was just having fun at this point.

As the monster lost another arm it seemed to become more enraged and the loss of the stability within its leg seemed to be the last straw for his mind or programming. It was the moment he had waited for the reason he built up all that power within himself. The monster seemed to lose whatever control over its systems it had left, the core opened blazed a white light, blasts of energy flying all around trying to remove the Zabrak from its attack.

Artorigas only hoped that Xeno had the time to dodge at such close range without taking to much damage. But he could not concern himself with that know he needed to act, the elongated burst gave him a slightly longer window to react. Reaching out with the maelstrom of power inside him he sent a lance of power straight through the chest of the machine.

The concentrated Force wave punched clean through the machine removing its core and slamming the small metal orb at its center through the wall behind him. Once again out of breath at the exertion he watched as the monster slumped to the floor no sign of power or life within its body. He looked around to see if he could spot to the Zabrak, the room was full of dust and debris from both the monsters and his own attack, making it hard to see if his comrade was still up and alive.

After his attack a burst of energy flew out and was aimed at Xeno. How wonderful. The Zabrak did his best to dodge taking a slight beam right to the leg. It left a burn on the outside of his thigh. Luckily he was able to sustain the injury with his new force abilities.

Then his companion disposed of the opposition. The core sent into the wall. The metallic brute lifeless on the ground. A strong opponent for sure. Worthy of the fight. Xeno risen to his feet, looked to find his companion and called out to him.

“Ignite your blade! I can’t see well in here.”

Xeno ignited one of his own blades for his fellow acolyte to follow the light. It was cloudy and smoky in the area. They had to make it out to have clear vision once again. Xeno even tried force push the dust, it was rather ineffective.

Artorigas nodded for some reason, probably out of habit than anything before pulling his own saber free and igniting it. The dust cloud around him glowed a deep purple colour, off to his right he spotted the the red glow which he assumed was his fellow Sith and not another one of these tests. Artotigas slowly began picking his way through the destroyed flooring towards what he assumed was the Zabrak. Beyond the hum of the blade and the raspy breaths of the rebreather he could hear small pieces of stone clinking onto the ground, perhaps they had also damaged the roof. That was not good, time was of the essence now.

He was about half way across the room when the voice appeared again. "Good... You are what you claim to be, Sith. Come forward to my chambers." As the voice disappeared the noise of stone grinding on stone reverberated around the room, through The Force he could sense that the door from where the Guardians came had opened and through it a dense pocket of Dark Energy appeared. He was only a few feet away from the Zabrak know and as the dust began to settle he could begin to clearly make out his face. "Come on this way." He called before turning towards the entrance.

The final chamber was exactly as Artorigas had expected, here is were the power of Lord Andros was shown, the wealth he had was on display, the walls were made of the same black and white marble, but inlayed were candelabras of gold and silver. They ignited on their entrance and a vibrant mixture of reds, blues and greens danced across the room. Upon the walls shelves of long wasted away items were packed all around the semi-circular space. As they both stepped clear of the previous room Lord Andros finally appeared, a blue spectre rose up from the inlaid sarcophagus in the middle of the room.

It appeared in its finery a long flowing robe and a crown upon its human head, its skin was shrivelled as expected of an old man who delved perhaps too deep into the Dark Side of the force. His glowing eyes surveyed them, switching back and forth between the pair before finally speaking again. "I am Lord Andros, you have proven yourself worthy of being called Sith. Now what do you both want?"

There was the voice once more. It spoke of a chamber. Quite peculiar. Xeno was focused on finding his companion. In case his aid was needed. After searching for a good while he finally came across Artorigas and let a quiet sigh of relief out as he approached.

“Time to go find out what’s in that chamber.”

Once they entered the semi circular room, the Zabrak looked around and appreciated the beauty of it. It was a chamber worthy of a Sith Lord. Beautiful architecture, and great material. Marbled black and white. Xeno was definitely a fan.

Then a person appeared before them as a blue holo. It was unusual. Xeno looked at its dressings and began to connect the dots. The being spoke and Xeno couldn’t answer for what Artorigas sought out but he spoke,

“I am Xeno.. I seek the power of a Lord of the Sith, and even further beyond that. For him, I can not say.”

Xeno made a hand gesture to his accomplice as he spoke to the spectre before them. It was probably futile to speak of what he wished for only the force will be able to grant that power to him. The force powers he had gained today will be known to him. He will know how to use them. Though, they won’t be nearly as effective in the near future due to the tomb enhancing his dark side abilities.
