《Star Wars: Rebirth of the Sith》Chapter 5

Jadek looked around the room. It was a small circular room containing two things. On the wall was a large stone tablet with an inscription they read:
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 set me free.
This was the code of the Sith. Quite a contrast to the Jedi code. The second thing in the room was a small lockbox that was open and displaying a Sith holocron. Jadek lifted and activated it. It displayed a map to the planet of Volik with the location of a Sith mask of power belonging to the Lord of Hunger. "Who is the lord of Hunger?" Wondered Jadek. The holocron also displayed the location of a derelict Sith battleship called the 'Pathfinder'. The location appeared to be around the destroyed planet of Malachor V. It was debatable whether or not the ship was still there because Malachor V has been destroyed. Finally there were details of a super weapon said to be onboard the Pathfinder. A weapon called the 'Force Cannon'. However it didn't give any other information on the weapon itself. "I need to report this to the council" thought Jadek as he destroyed the holocron by crushing it with the force. At least now the empires chosen could not obtain the location for any of this. "The truth is within your reach need you only allow it to beckon you" boomed a deep voice. Jadek drew and ignited both lightsabers. "Who's there?!" Struck Jadek.
"I am not here. Come seek me out and i will give you the answers you crave" said the voice again. Jadek was beginning to feel drained as the dark energy was growing rapidly. Jadek then realised the voice was the one that spoke to him in his dream. "That wasn't a dream. You called me to Korriban. Who are you?!" Shouted Jadek.

"The answers, the truth, the lies and your destiny will all be revealed but you mus seek me out. You must travel to The Valley of the dark lords and seek me out in the Tomb of Naga Sadow. You will know it once you see it. The Valley is a funnel of concentrated dark energy. If you are not strong enough it will destroy you. If you make it to me then you will be rewarded with all that you seek. The tomb also beckons you to take the artefact held within. But you must prove your worth" boomed the voice.
Then as suddenly as it appeared the dark energy completely faded. Jadek couldn't feel it anymore in the force. He instantly reached for his communicator and contacted Hira. "Master Hira, i have found and destroyed the artefact but i fear we must send our attention elsewhere" jadek said.
"Is that so? Please explain." Asked Hira.
"The artefact was a Sith holocron containing the location of a Sith mask of power on the Planet of Volik. The mask of the Lord of hunger." Explained Jadek.
"No!" Shouted Hira. "That cannot be allowed to fall into the hands fo the Chosen!"
"Master Hira, i have destroyed the Sith holocron so the Chosen will not find it" assured Jadek. "But who is the Lord of Hunger?"
"The mask belong to an ancient Sith Lord called Darth Nihlus. He was a monster of unimaginable power. That mask will wreak havoc and destruction if the chosen get it. I will dispatch Jedi Knights Na-Um-Tay and Lun-der Oss to Volik to destroy this mask. Return to the guardian for debriefing. the Queen has sent an assault fleet to taker care of the Chosen Convoy. We will need you to recuperate and lead the ground forces when we assault" ordered Hira.
"I have a small matter which i must tend to first master Hira' replied jadek.

"On Korriban? What could you possibly have to do on Korriban?" Asked Hira.
Jadek explained his vision and all that had transpired since including the summons that he received. "I need to find the tomb of Naga Sadow" said Jadek.
"No! Absolutely not! You will follow orders and return! You will not go to that Tomb, nothing good will come of it!" Demanded Master Hira. His tone had angered Jadek a little. This is something that Jadek felt he had to do. He may never get the chance to come to Korriban again. He disabled his holo-communicator and walked back up the stairs. He seen a valley from the rocks when he was scouting the academy. It wasn't far and he could easily get by the Chosen. He was so distracted by Master hira's complete rejection of his summons to the tomb that he didn't see the group of shock troopers and commander in the room as he walked out.
"STOP" shouted captain Tole. Jadek quickly ignited both lightsabers and spun round behind one of the pillars.
"Open fire!" Commanded Tole as the group of four shock troopers rained a barrage of laser fire towards the Pillar hiding Jadek. He had no option but to go back through the tunnel he entered from. But he was still going to need a great deal of luck. He needed to get out alive. 'Argh. I can't fight them all from this position and i cant reach that tunnel. I need to get to a better position." He thought. He gathered energy and dashed towards the staircase but Tole anticipates this and fired his own volley of blaster shots, one of which nearly hits Jadek and causes him to lose balance and fall, dropping both lightsabers.
"Cease fire!" Shouted Tole. "On your feet, Jedi. Keep your hands in the air." ordered Tole as all the troops had their rifles trained on Jadek. Tole moved slowly towards him. "Where is the artefact?' He asked.
"It's in that room... in pieces." Replied Jadek with a small grin.
"Then you have no use to me. Let this be a warning to your order not to interfere with the Chosen. Now you die!" Said Tole angrily. Everything suddenly seemed to slow down. As tole was raising his hand to action his troopers to shoot Jadek looked up and reached out with all the power he could gather and yelled "I am not dying today!" As he pulled his arms downwards and with a huge rumble the entire ceiling above the troopers collapsed killing them all. it caused a chain reaction and the entryway to the academy caved in, further slowing the Chosen progress. Tole was stunned and quickly raised his blaster but Jadek was quicker and force pushed the blaster far out of Tole's hand. He used the force and called both lightsabers back to him and as Tole drew a small vibroblade, Jadek ignited both lightsabers and in a flash, bolted towards Tole and pierced both lightsabers through him. Tole let out an agonising scream and dropped to the floor as Jadek deactivated both weapons. He needed to get to the Tomb of Naga Sadow. The ceiling collapsing would mean the Chosen would have to expend more units to excavate it so this would mean less opposition for Jadek on his way to The Valley. He holstered his lightsabers and headed back out he cave that he used to get in. "I didn't even have the opportunity to inform the Jedi about the Pathfinder, and now my comms are destroyed. No matter, there will be time for that later." Jadek said.
