Seeds of Darkness (Melannis)

[Darth Cladis]

Darth Cladis waited outside of ship watching as the planet feed off of his dark energy. Making the balance of the planet go more dark. He watched the people as pickpockets scampered away. This was everyday life for them in the slums of an entire planet. He enjoyed the chaos that the Dark Side projected from the planet.

The people there knew better to come near him, nor even look at him. He had his Dark cloak all the way up hiding his eyes. He knew something special was going to happen today but what. What were the Dark Lords of Old, trying to tell him would catch his attention. Then he felt a Light side of the Force presence. He grimaced at the feeling, but he waited to see where this source came from.

[Melannis Scion Tu'Lia]

Melannis was on a mission to more or less handle a small negotionation between a criminal gang and the republic to help ferry in good's around the Mandalorian blockade of the trade routes. Melannis hated to see that the republic and jedi had to aid criminals in order to attempt to bring this war to a closure... Word had even reached her ear's about a Jedi who had taken several like-minded Jedi to his cause to help the republic win the war... Her master told her it was foolish and could only lead to bad thing's. Perhap's her master was blinded by the fact if mandalorian's won their woulden't be a jedi order left... She sighed shaking her head.

Jumping out of her fighter and onto the small landing platform she sighed in relief to be back on the ground. She was glad their was no...random encounters on her way to the planet, it was all nice and quiet. Walking though the small space port looking up as she walked, carefully avoiding people as she seemed to pay no attention to them thinking to herself... Part of her wanted to go off and fight with them, but she just...coulden't imagine how horrible war would be. Her hand tightened around the small ring on her necklace. It was the only belonging of her family that she had left, the money from their tiny empire as well as the empire itself was held until she was either a] out of the jedi order. or b] kicked out. Their family made it clear they did not like her being trained or being a Jedi. With her power's they knew they could make a fortune but knew she woulden't use them for that goal.

She had felt a small pull of the force, looking around and spotting a blue-humanoid. She had never seen the species of alien before, but then again their was many she had not. She would pursue it further however, the planet itself would throw most jedi's force sencing abilities out of whack because of the odd feeling of the planet itself devoid of anything.

[Darth Cladis]

Cladis raised his head a little as he felt someone open there senses. A young human female looked in his direction, but she had to have shrugged it off. He grinned and realized he could play a little game with her. He began to walk to the closest Cantina and when he reached the door way he stopped. Looking slightly back over his shoulder he manipulated the force for anyone who could sense it and make them come towards the Cantina.

He threw back the curtain door way and took in the patrons. He stared them all down as they looked to see who came in and then back to whatever they were doing. The Shady belong among the shady. As He walks by some of the patrons he manipulates their minds into hating jedi. He grinned at what would ensue, and took a sit at a table in the back, in direct line of sight of the whole Cantina.

[Melannis Scion Tu'Lia]

Walking though the Cantina, she had...a odd urge to go there besides, she could really use the relaxation the meeting didn't sttart for awhile. Walking though the door with the typical slight armor clad jedi uniform on, and her light saber on her side. It was the same that most jedi used during war time, it would protect them a bit from blaster fire they coulden't avoid but if it got nicked in the right place, it was useless.

Sitting down on the seat and ordering a drink, however it wasen't long until she realized the rather...hateful look's she was getting in the Cantina. Softly gulping a little, why anyone would hate Melannis was unknown, but when she thought about it perhaps they hated the Jedi's for not getting involved in the war perhap's....Even she was upset with that herself. She hid the thought as the drink was slid across the table to her, rather speedidly she nearly dropped it as it spilled all over her hand's. "H-Hey, no need t-" Looking up and realizing that the Cantina owner was staring at her eye's ready to draw a blaster. "H-Hey look at that, a cute...furry...creature, Imma go pet it..." Quickly getting up. Suddenly the cantina man shouted. "HEY! Aren't you going to pay for that drink! You little swindling jedi!" It soon started alot of the crowd getting riled up agreeing with the man...just her luck. She slowly started to back away.

[Darth Cladis]

Cladis watched as the other customers began to converge on her. He waved his hands which shut the barricade doors to the entrance/exit. He felt the dark saber in his boot vibrating, wanting to be used against a Jedi. He reached down and tapped it trying to relax it as if it was an animate object. It was animated by the force so it could be alive. He narrowed his eyes at the owner, willing him to grab hold of his blaster.

As the owner, quickly pulls out his blaster pistol. The five others have a variety of weapons, from chains, to a vibroknife, to blaster rifles. Cladis was curious to see how the young one would fare. He had the owner and the two guys with blaster rifles fire at the female. The other patrons took cover at this point, Cladis however stand above the tables, grinning at the specticale

[Melannis Scion Tu'Lia]

As the owner grabbed his blaster her eye's narrowed. Looking around as she sighed, just her luck - She had to come in with abuncha jedi hating people. She didn't have much time to think before all of the sudden blaster rifle fire rang out and she quickly put up her hand's, creating an almost clear force barrier between her and the fire. Biting her lip gently, it had taken up more then usual because there was two blaster's involved.The barrier slowly wrapped around Melannis herself as she watched as more people started grabbing weapon's and going to attack her. Extending her hand once more as the weapon's were yanked from them by an invisable force.

"...Now just Relax...I'll be leaving..." She said trying to use a bit of force persusaion on them all at the same time. She knew many trick's to defuse a situation peacefully, after all her master trained her. She had always thought it was kinda messy to disarm a person and turn your back on them but in this case it worked. However, keeping the shield up as a few blasters hit it - it quickly vanished as she quickly threw the weapons from the other men that was floating at them and turning around only to see the door's barricaded.

Grabbing the handles and shaking violently, how come they were locked? She looked around at the very angry crowd now as getting hit by weapon's was obviously not what they wanted to happen. "...This is going to suck..." As they started appoaching her much faster now than before as she pulled her hand's to the side and shoved them out, bending the force and sending a shockwave that would send the crowd sliding against the floor into the nearby wall knocking most out. Pulling out her lightsaber she stuck it into the door and quickly slid it across to get rid of whatever was holding the door shut.

[Darth Cladis]

Cladis rose from his table as he put the few patrons that were in the Cantina into Stasis. They were weak minded so it wasnt hard to do. Easily to influence, this was why he was a Lord of the Sith. A manipulator of the Force, he was a puppet of the Force like the Jedi. He controlled it and made it do his bidding. He waited for the Jedi to look his way before talking.

"You know, it seems your kind isnt like here. So why do business with these people? You know they are already lost. Like you, your future seems clouded, I feel a dark presence lurking behind a deep secret." He locked eyes with the girl as he lowered his hood. "Is there something hidden that you are trying to hide? Why not let the world know the true you? Dont foul yourself, I see through it all."

[Melannis Scion Tu'Lia]

Part of her was so happy when the people stopped, then she realized it was something more. Slowly looking around, something was eating at her - Then suddenly her eye's met with the man's. Her heart skipped a beat as he talked about a secret. Watching the man remove his hood, he was the man she had seen earlier.

"W-Who are you?" Looking around quickly for an escape. She knew something was strange, the way the doors woulden't open even when cut with her lightsaber... The man's words sent chills into her spine, she was scared - Something that never really happened... She could tell the man was strong, very strong - for her to even attempt to place a stasis on such a crowd was nearly impossible as of now. "There is nothing I'm hiding, Now open the door's!" She said loudly narrowing her eye's, her grip tightened around the light saber in her hand's as it was still activated. "There is nothing to see though!" She quickly stated, although she knew better - the man could see though it...

No matter how much she hid it from other's, he had called her out as if it was obvious. "I don't know what you are talking about, you are nothing but a deranged Jedi who has fallen..." She said, her word's carefully hid her emotion's... She could not let the man sense she was worried or scared of what he said or did.

[Darth Cladis]

Cladis began to laugh at what she said. She didnt know the darker side of herself. It was hidden away, and it wanted to grow. He could tell at the pull of her emotion. He unfroze one of the thugs and it ran for her attacking her with everything he had. He was acting like ruthless mindless being. He had no sense of technique just trying to lay a hit on her.

"You know that emotions over will is not the way of the Jedi. That will lead you down the path of the Dark side. Which I see is slowly growing in you with every passing moment." He slowly started to walk towards her. Letting his Force Cloak drift away, he let his eyes turn gold. His toothy grin and shining gold eyes as he pummeled her will.

[atrb=style, background: #f2d094; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 0px solid #000000; opacity: 0.99][atrb=style, background: url() no-repeat left bottom;] As one of the thug's randomly unfroze she quickly started to duck and weave, her lightsaber quickly deactivated as she grabbed the thug by his neck and instantly the man dropped limp - being knocked out by her grab. Looking at the man, upset. "These aren't your plaything's, they are people!" She growled out. Hearing the man as he continued his speech narrowing her eye's as she activated her lightsaber once again - She could feel the evil rolling off of the man now, like a huge ocean just slapped her in the face as she took a step back. Looking at the man in the eye's. "...What you see, does not matter - You are a corrupted Jedi. I don't believe any lie's from your mouth..." However, even if she said those word's - Her insides were sturing as if she was slammed in the gut - something was feeding off the energy rolling off the man. Her powers wayned a little as she now showed slight fear... What was happening to her?

[Darth Cladis]

Unfreezing two more of the lesser life forms, Cladis kept his gaze on her. He hope this was the apprentice he was looking for. It had been along time since anyone was worthy, he killed all the unworthy ones personally. These two newly released thugs were more ferocious with there attacks, seeming more fluid.

He stopped at the bar as he grabbed a drink and drank from it. "My dear every time you turn on you lightsaber, I'll only send more. You dont want to fight me trust me. Also, I will never take the name as a Jedi, I was a Sith before anything. Just know the Jedi dont know how to fully utilize there power. They will never know what it is to love or be passionate about something." Grimacing from the drink he tosses it on the floor. Looking around and deciding who to send after her next.

[atrb=style, background: #f2d094; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 0px solid #000000; opacity: 0.99][atrb=style, background: url() no-repeat left bottom;] Her lightsaber quickly deactivated as two more men came running at her attacking her as she winced as one connected with her jaw as she caught his other fist. This was trouble,She had to get space. Quickly leaping backward's using the force to propel the men back a little while she prepaired yet another force shockwave - Sending it into the men as well as the other's sending them sliding across the ground once more... Sweat beading down her head, This was trouble, she had to escape.... Looking around for some sort of escape. hearing the man call himself sith. Melannis chuckled gently. "Everyone know's the Sith was destoryed" Shaking her head. This man was even more crazy then she believed. "You are nothing but a coward, Sending civilian's to attack me... Someone's over compensating for something..." She smirked a bit, Trying to taunt the man into fighting her rather then sending normal people after her. She had to make this bastard pay, She would kill him.... Her heart skipped a beat as her eye's widened... No, Why did she even think such a thought? Shaking it off quickly as she forced herself to be calm once more. "Coward?"

[Darth Cladis]

Cladis grinned at her performance, it was a spectacle indeed. Her confusion was setting in. The thought of her breaking down finally, compelled him to push further. What was this feeling of origin coming from her, it was a familar feel. Cladis licked his lips at the power hidden underneath.

He stopped in his place, not unfreezing anyone else. She had made quiet a mess of things. He looked her slender body up and down. "So your expressing to me that you dont feel no emotion. That everything is neutral to you? That if you had to you would use your saber for justice?"

"...I..." She swallowed at what he said and looked away just a little keeping an eye on him still. "...I...Will if I have to... " Looking back at him, She was not backing up any further. "...Surrender yourself and the council will surely bring you back - Every Jedi know's the pull of wanting more... You just simply made a mistake..." She smiled weakily, attempting to convert the man back to the way's of the light side.

[Darth Cladis]

Cladis laughed loudly at what the girl said. She really thought he was an ex-Jedi. A Jedi would never have so much power in the dark side as an original follower. He wondered how he could play this one around her. Maybe make this into more of a fun game. He loved the chase still from the days he was just a lowly Assassin even thought now u rarely use his skill less then his power.

"If I'm a rogue Jedi, How could i have so much power and so much control over it. I have been trained to use my emotion not neutralize it. I know how to use them all to my advantage, not one. I am not hateful, I am passionate about what I do. Things that you can only find deep within the roots of the Empire." He unfreezes five more patrons as three come rushing at her. He has the other two struggling one almost about to kill the other. "You say your saber is of Justice then use it for justice, the one man is of sane mine but i think he will be dead pretty soon."
