Around 200 battle ships blockaded the planet, w/ the planetary shield 2/3's complete... With the shield complete, the blockade would no longer be needed...

DATOR sat in his throne... he pressed a pad, and gave an order..."Have Taehun come before me, as soon as possible..."

Roger Roger...

Taehun opened his eyes only to see Lumbia's face glaring back at him. On his face was a look of supreme confidence. Taehun gritted his teeth and his head began to shake violently. With a loud scream, he suddenly arose and cut through the face with his ignited blade. The grains of sand fell to the ground.

DATOR turned to greet Taehun,"Take a seat... You will need to start you mission, our survival will base on your success... unless there are any questions, good luck..."

Taehun gave a slight bow, and turned on his heel, leaving DATOR's quarters. He reached inside a fold of his robes and pulled out his com-link.

"OOM-75, this is Taehun. Tell me about what has been going on in today's radio traffic."

"Sir, the radio traffic has been fairly light today. Around sunset in the Camp 58 there was a raid attempted by resistance fighters. It was mildly successful, but they were eventually driven off when the droideka arrived."

Taehun thought for a moment, and spoke into the com, "Tell me. Was there anything interesting to report about the attack? I mean was there any abnormal activites by the raiders."

It took only a moment for OOM-75 to process the question and search for an answer. "Yes sir, there was. The leader of the raiders seemed to move impossibly fast, as if he knew exactly when the droids would shoot each round and where it was being shot at."

Taehun once again fell silent. Having premonitions and incredible instincts...here was one who was blessed by the force. It was now a matter of making him know the power of the darkside.

"Copy that OOM-75. Taehun out."

Taehun walked over hastily to where his speederbike had been parked. He seated himself in it, and the engine roared to life.

Bane gestured at a few soldiers standing nearby. "Double the guards on the perimeter tonight. It's likely that the droids will be searching for us after our raid." They saluted him by placing their fists on their chests, as they alwasy did, and left him alone.
What am I going to do? Bane thought. The only reason he was leading this resistance force was because he was the leader of a small group of thugs that refused to be assimilated. I have no military experience...I only know how to fight one on one. Bane rose from his seat with a sigh. They had no chance of winning, and he knew it.

Bane quickly turned around as he heard the distinct sound of blaster fire. He heard several voices screaming, and grabbed his pilfered E11 blaster as he ran out. In a mere moment he was outside the complex, taking in the scene. Three guards had been incapacitated by blaster fire, and another two to the left had been decapitated gruesomely. He noticed that there was a parked speederbike that was off to the right. That wasn't there before, he thought. And surely...not just one droid could...

Bane could feel the chill running down his back, and he turned around, only to see nothing. He felt cold all over, as if he had just stepped out into an arctic planet, and not a desert one like N'hreal. Bane swallowed the lump in his throat, and opened his mouth to speak.

Bane looked upon Taehun’s countenance wide-mouthed. Taehun’s head was bald, with all of its hair completely shaven off, and replaced by black tattoos crisscrossing his face and head. In his eyes Bane saw the look of a predator, one who feeds off of another living creature. Surely this was the very face of evil.

Bane, who was quite shocked, took a step back before Taehun spoke.

“You planet seems to be in quite a bit of trouble. These droids...they have complete control of N’hreal, do you know that?”

Bane stood there, silent.

“Yes, I know what you’re thinking...and I know that you are not as stupid as you look right now. I will waste no more time and make my offer...”

“For quite some time, I’m sure you know, you have been ‘gifted’. You have a great instinct, and seem to see things happen just before they occur. Others think of you as very quick on your feet, and they respect and fear you.” Taehun looked to Bane’s face to see how he reacted. He was pleased, for Bane’s face showed a look of bewilderment at Taehun’s knowledge.

“I can train you. With my help, you can destroy these droids easily, if you wish. Come, and see what you can be capable of.” With that, a strong breeze seemed to rush by the two men facing each other. The wind picked up, and started circling around the Taehun. Taehun concentrated for a moment, and the sand seemed to form together in mid-air, creating a figure that looked quite like a battle droid. Bane’s face looked quite shocked.

Taehun raised his hand towards the figure, and it blew away without warning. The wind had now died down, and Bane was wide mouthed once again. Taehun’s white teeth showed in the darkness as he smiled.

He could have his former life back.

It was too bad that Bane never realized that Taehun was now going to truly be his master.

"Yes...teach me."

((OOC - Taehun taught Bane for about a month, just enough to teach him to truly hate, and to understand the basics of the darkside))

Bane rolled up the sleeve on his right arm. This day was a remarkable one, for Taehun had promised him an important lesson that day. He looked over at Taehun, who seemed to be holding something over the flames of his furnace.

Taehun pulled it out, and walked over slowly to Bane.

"Bane...you have learned to hate, and learned to use your anger...but without knowing pain, it is all for naught. Now, you will know pain, and you shall truly become ready to be my apprentice."

Taehun raised the red-hot brand up in front of Bane's eyes, so that he could see the orange glow of the rune.

"Are you reaady?"

Bane struggled for words.

"It matters not."

Taehun deftly grabbed Bane's arm with his left hand, showing unimaginable strenghth, and lowered the brand to his forearm.

It had always bothered him when he had to do a job like this. Woking with the Trandoshans was something he especially despised, and he'd never do it if he didn't need the money. Telcontar sighed quietly. It's always about the money...that's what you keep telling yourself.

A red light came to life on the console of Shadow. Telcontar quickly sat upright, and pulled a small lever down, proceeding to exit out of hyperspace. As his ship seemed to become impossibly slow, he espied Nar Hutta off in the distance. This was where he was to meet the Trandoshans.

Unexpectadly, the screen in front of his window came to life. A familiar, but unsettling face appeared on the communication screen.

"Telcontar...I have use for you."

Again, Telcontar sighed, but this time it was inwardly. How he hated to deal with Taehun...the dark jedi, one who was so filled with hatred. Whenever Telcontar had to do something he knew was 'wrong' he tried to detach himself emotionally. If anything, Taehun reveled in the emotion, and seemed to delight in death.

"What is it Taehun?"

"I need for you to come to these coordinates. On this planet you will pick up a companion of mine, and do as he asks. You will also come in contact with a few certain people I know on Nar Hutta. Tell them to arrive at these coordinates as well."

Immediately, the data was uploaded to Telcontar's ship. The planet Taehun spoke of was N'hreal, a small planet not too far from Nar Hutta, but out of the way enough to not attract any attention from any bigwigs like the Imperials. The 'list' was uploaded as well, and Telcontar grimaced as he saw the names on the list.

"Taehun, I'd rather not deal with these people."

Taehun's brows furrowed. His tone changed to a commanding one..."Nevertheless, you will do as I say, Telcontar. You shall have your usual fee as soon as they arrive on N'hreal. I shall expect you soon." The viewscreen went blank as the Taehun cut the transmission.

Telcontar lifted his right hand to his forehead. He could feel the headache, and knew that it was only going to intensify as soon as he landed on Nar Hutta. He would have to wait to collect his fee from the Trandoshans...they weren't as vengeful as Taehun was.

"Ah, sithspit!"

As the form approuched Taehun, he seemed much more impossing then perception could possible alow, his turquoize eyes focused darkly on Taehun, his scarlet and purple robes flowing in the wind.

His lips tugged up into a sadistic smile, his head tilting back to unleash a dark cackle before his brillient eyes, which seemed strangly out of place for this being, whos very pressence was filled with the darkside, locked once more upon taehun, before his blood curdlingly deep voice rang out.
"I am the dark lord... You will serve me"

He was suddenly bothered... A being suddenly... appeared...

The planetary defense system located an organic being, that was not there moments before... as well as a ship in orbit...

Before DATOR could do anything, an energy field dropped over where Taehun, Bane, and Entaris stood... no organic being could escape...

DATOR gave it closer attention... not bothering to give the Tie fighter a second thought... in fact, he meant to leave it alone...

Taehun is under the energy field, no need to have a decal unit sent... but I should make an appearance...

With that, DATOR was off in his yacht... to soon meet up with this, intruder...

DATOR exited his ship, and approached the field...

The field was no more, as he approached the men..."Which of you has the power to appear from thin air? Be gone with you Taehun, your journey awaits..."

"I am your loyal vassal, milord. Command me and my apprentice."

"I hope this is satisfactory.... consider my offer, we need one as powerful as yourself... you could hold off such an assault by mere force users... you would be the leader of the greatest offensive the galaxy has ever seen... I ask you once more, will you join us, my lord..."

Telcontar approached the door to the tavern. He proceeded to knock three times on the metallic door, and patiently waited. After a moment, a small slot opened on the door, revealing three eyes attached to attenae like flesh. ...Ugh...another ughnaught. They have to have been named ughnaughts because of the sound everyone makes when they see one. What an ugly creature...

The slot immediately closed, and the door opened slowly in turn. Telcontar proceeded to hand over his two rifles to a nearby guard and seated himself at a barstool. He began to remove his helmet, and before it came off, a human bartender was already asking what he'd like to drink.

"Gimme a Ruby Bliels, on the rocks."

The bartender looked at him suspiciously...A ruby bliels was never served on the rocks, and any onlooker would've thought Telcontar an idiot. The bartender, however, did not.

"Follow me."

The bartender proceeded to lead Telcontar down an obsure hallway. At the end of the hall was a staircase that spiraled downward. A single light hung from the ceiling, and water seemed to be dripping down in various places. The stair case was covered with a glowing lichen.

"What you seek lies down there," the bartender said, "Good luck."

It was in this moment that a non dark-force user first witnessed the council of hate. The room was completely dark, save five sources of light whose origins could not be seen. These lights shone down on the five council members, who all were facing each other in a circle. They were clothed in sackcloth, each with a heavy hood over their face, masking any features.

Immediately, the bounty hunter's mind was bombarded with various thoughts.
Welcome, my son. Welcome to the Council. We understand that Taehun has sent you.

Another voice seemed to enter Telcontar's head.
Shut up fool! You do not know what kind of trouble this one can cause.

The first voice responded. SILENCE! I will not be gainsaid by one as young as you are. Taehun seems to have found a someone who can become quite an ally, and I will not allow this opppurtunity to just pass by!

Another voice joined the conversation in Telcontar's head. Yes...indeed. This Entaris is quite taken with the dark side. Perhaps the time has come to show ourselves.
Who? What the heck are they talking about Telcontar thought to himself.

The first voice answered again. Do not fret, young one. Go on about your business. We shall take care of Taehun.

With that, the lights went out. After a few moments of blackness, Telcontar opened his eyes to find himself on the floor of the inn. A rather large patron proceeded to pick him up, and throw him out the front door. "And stay out! We don't tolerate rowdy customers."
