Superior Nighthawk

((I'd like 2 more people at the most in this.))

It was morning and Vala had very little sleep the night before. She kept getting visions though the force of a male figure standing in front of a large fire and a male voice whispering "Malastare" to her. It was very odd.

Why would I be having these visions? She wondered to herself as she walked the halls and yawned. Should I go to Malastare? She pondered this as she walked.

The High Inquisitor had been walking the halls today, he had been checking in on his Inquisitors. As he walked down the hall he could almost hear the young ones thoughts. When the young Vala Nighthawk had come into view, there was a look of distress in her complexion. "What is vexing you today Vala?" He asked as he came to a halt in front of her.

Vala looked at him. "I got a feeling I should go to Malastare. Last night while I was sleeping I had a vision of a hooded figure standing in front of a huge fire. I don't know who it was but it was as if it was whispering 'Malastare' to me. It was a male voice too. It was odd."

High Prophet Crozeus

"A premonition in the Force?" Prophet Crozeus called as he rounded the corner, overhearing the conversation.

"I experience similar things dozens of times per day. Comes with being a Prophet. But if you keep having the same, and a simple one at that, you should listen to it."

Crozeus came to a halt beside the newly promoted Sith Master and the High Inquisitor, whom he greeted with a friendly nod.

Vala nodded. " I normally don't get visions. I think someone might be purposley doing that to me and I want to know why." She looked at the two of them. "If you two want to come with me then meet me at my ship in an hour." She said before heading to the hanger.

Crozeus smiled. She was certainly a doer, not a thinker. Nevertheless, he would go with her. He headed back to the Chapter to file his leave and to ensure all matters would be taken care of. He stopped by in his study to collect weapons and equipment, then he decided to shower and change clothes. Finally he met Darth Nighthawk in the hangar.

Darth Nighthawk boarded the ship and sat at the controls. She looked at Crozeus.

"The High Inquisitor didn't say if he was coming or not did he." She said.

"He should." Crozeus replied. It seemed he was often finding himself with the High Inquisitor, more so than any other Sith. How peculiar.

Vala waited a few more minutes before starting up her ship. "I doubt he's coming and I'm not waiting any longer. If he wants to come, he can find his own transportation."

The ship flew out of the hanger and into space. Vala knew her father had modified her ship a little bit. He had told her all about it on the day she recieved it from him. Vala engaged the cloaking device.

"I don't want anyone on Malastare to know we're coming, especially my father." She said to Crozeus.

High Prophet Crozeus

The Prophet nodded. "That's fine. How powerful exactly is your father?"

"I'm not entirely sure. He always taught me to 'unleash my true power at the right time'. I'm guessing that he does the same. I've never seen him fight an enemy before."

Vala made the jump to hyperspace. Once the ship came out, Malastare was in the distance.

High Prophet Crozeus

Crozeus looked at Malastare with some unease in his gut. What would he do if Vala's father was far more powerful than both of them? He reasurred himself with the fact that Vala was determined, and that gave her strength, but as they zoomed towards the planet Crozeus could not help but feel uneased.

The ship was now in the atmosphere, flying above a large forest. Vala hoped that her ship's cloaking device didn't let her down. She could see black smoke in the distance.

"That smoke's coming from my home." She slowed the ship to the point where it was hovering above the trees. "We need to get out here." She pressed a button and the door opened. Vala jumped and dissappeared into the trees. She jumped quickly from branch to branch. As she got closer, Vala could smell the scent of a fire.

The High Inquisitor had said little, but he had followed them after notifying the Inquisitorius. He had landed behind them on Malastare and uncloaked his presence to allow them knowledge of his being. He had been running through the forest, his black robe flailing behind him as he sped through the foliage. "You had best prepare your mind for what may happen here today Vala. Though you may be Sith, your mind is still young to this kind of power and possible destruction."

Vala stopped at the sound of the High Inquisitor's voice. She listened to what he had to say then kept going.

When she got to the last branch, she saw what was the smoldering, black remains of the house she grew up in. Vala couldn't believe her eyes. Who would do this?

Vala suddenly realised she didn't hide her force presence. A mistake that could get her killed one day. She hid her force presence from further detection though she had a feeling it was already too late for that. She made a mental note to herself to never let it happen again.

Vala dropped down to the ground and slowly walked over to the pile of ash. She noticed some bones sticking out.

"Someone did this. It was no accident." She said.

Crozeus looked rather unfazed by the scene of death before him. He experienced such every day with experiments at Fondor, and the things that happened there were far worse.

"Who was it?" He asked.

"I'm not-" Suddenly a throwing star whizzed past Vala's head and landed in front of her.

"We're not alone." She said. Vala looked up in the trees.
"Come on down and fight you coward!"

Suddenly three masked men wearing black from head to toe attacked the group. Vala ignited her sabers. The three masked men ignited their black bladed sabers.
"Black bladed sabers?" Vala said as a guy swiped at her stomach. Vala dodged it and swiped at the guy's head with her left arm while her right arm was going for his stomach.

High Prophet Crozeus

The man facing Crozeus was clearly not up to shape in the verse of lightsaber combat. His first few strikes were easily parried by the blade which sprang from Crozeus' wrist holster, and using only that he took him onto the back foot, dueling energetically. When a second blade came out, the enemy began to despair. Crozeus utilized a Form his leader, the Supreme Prophet, had taught him. Not trained in countering Impitus, the man soon was defeated.

Crozeus slashed his hands off at the wrists and the muscles in his thighs, leaving him crippled and bawling, though ready to be interrogated. It appeared Nighthawk and Gra'tua were dispatching their foes as well.

Vala's arms were crossed. The man in front of her was about to strike, quickly Vala took a step forward and slashed him in half.

Vala looked over at the High Inquisitor.
"Did you forget the Emperor trained me?"

Vala suddenly heard the sound of clapping. She spun around, facing the pile of ash were her father stood. He had a grin on his face.

"Bravo Vala, and I see you brought friends." Michael used the force to pick up the scorched skull. "Poor Selene. She wasn't really useful to me anyway." He dropped the skull.

Vala was getting angry, Michael sensed it.

"You did this? You killed mom? She gave you two kids! And who are those masked guys?" Vala's head was swimming with questions.

"Those guys did work for me, until you three killed them. Lucky they were also of little importance to me."

Vala fought back her urge to attack him.

"Vala I can sense that. Come on. Attack me. Let's see what Emperor Shadow has taught you."

High Prophet Crozeus

Crozeus realised the man in front of him was of no importance, so he casually decapitated him. He saw that Vala was confronting the man who must be her father. She hesitated.

"Do it. Give in to your hate," Crozeus urged.

Using force speed, Vala attacked her father. Michael also had a pair of darksabers. The two sets of sabers were a blur because of the use of force speed.

"Come on Vala, I'm blocking your every blow. You can do better."

Suddenly Vala was pushed violently backwards with the force, slamming into a tree. "How pathetic. You still can't beat me." Michael said.

"I'm not done yet." She spat.

Michael was preparing to use force lightning. Vala noticed this and moved using force speed just as the lightning hit the tree.

"I think it's time to slow you down a bit Vala." Michael reached out with the force. Vala knew she couldn't dodge that. She hoped that Crozeus or Gra'tua had an idea. Vala could begin to feel her heart slowing.

Crozeus watched the scene. Vala was quickly tiring herself out. He reached out and grasped her father in the Force, literally ripping Force energy out of him. He channelled his, Gra'tua's and Vala's father's energy, sending it into Vala and giving her great strength, whilst weakening her father.

Vala could feel herself getting stronger. A wicked grin spread across her face.

"It's good to have friends." Vala said to Michael. She could sense he was weaker now. She used force rage, channeling all her anger and hate toward him. She then attacked him, slicing him apart. Michael's arms, legs and head all went flying in different directions. After that was done, Vala stood there, her sabers still lit. She took a deep breath to calm herself then turned toward Crozeus.

"Thank you for your help."

"Congratulations. Director of Covert Operations." Adenn said as he stood there, the smoldering remains of the home collapsing a bit. He knew better then to not track the movements of his Guard members. He then glanced at the remains of the four men that lay dismembered on the ground.

Vala was surprised to see the High Protector there.

"Lord Adenn. This is a surprise, what are you doing here?" Vala asked.
