The sounds of footsteps coming down the stairs echoed through the Inn's lobby as a blue mist coalesced and formed a large shimmering figure, the smile upon its face was large, and only the slightest coloration was visible in his violet gaze and brown robes his long black hair was the most distinct with a strand still sliding onto his face as he walked between them. Looking first at Zalor then at Tanara. <<My my, how you have grown.>> Was all he said to the two. As he looked at them fondly.

Loki smiled and frowned with the flow of the story. "A very long way, Anna..And all for you." He said quietly as she continued, and he listened. Once more another link in the chain that was forming. Many feared Loki, in fact perhaps this crew was the first group of people, aside from some old enemies who truly didn't fear him. He knew more than anyone what it was like to be feared. He was feared by passerby's, the names the troops of the facility had called me showed what he was, but did that define him? "They are...I am...I have been alone...a very long time. Until recently.." He mused at her as much as himself, he leaned back and looked at the sky, he could feel that this was far from over that this one piece in a puzzle to end all puzzles.

The First order troops kept up steady barrage of fire. "Lads, aim for the taller one first!" With a period of clicks in response, two of the black armored troops broke free and began ducking and weaving between covering bolts and those returned by the enemy. They where rushing at Raven, pulling virbro blades from concealed locations and getting in close, others, took shots at Sinnia from a distance, others still tried to flank to the side and escape, only to be cut down from behind by a few of the black clad soldiers."Anyone else tries to run gets the same fate! FOR THE ORDER!" they screamed as they kept up their terrible barrage of blaster fire, missing mainly to chance and because of the smoke filled corridor. Loki reached out and as gently as his size would allow touched Anna's Arm awkwardly, he had never been around many children, least of all Jedi children. He smiled though and said quietly back "No, Anna, I do not fear you, or anything in this life. Unless you count Greater Kryat Dragons, they terrify me. I knew a man once who kept them...Why." he said with a gesture of his arm. "Are they afraid of you? Because you're different? That's no reason to be afraid of someone." Loki said simply. He wondered how she had managed to overhear the masters plans for her, or perhaps it was her sight, in time Loki figured he would have time to find out, if eventually they got out of here alive..Loki's mind briefly wondered to Raven and the others fighting for him and Anna now as much as themselves, and the galaxy even and nobody would ever know, they'd now be wanted on dozens of systems. Loki knew now that Raven could hold her own in a fight, he felt a fool for ever doubting her based on size alone. Loki looked up at the sky and wondered.

Loki watched the scenes unfold, one after the other like a whirl, it was almost too much to handle. A tear in reality slid down his cheek, as one in the void went down as well. The pain was almost palpable as he watched parts of Raven’s life flash before his eyes. What a strange feeling, was this compassion? What a thought he had time to muse before the scene shifted and the mirror he wanted was before him, stepping through he blinked and felt the warmth of a sun shining on him. “Coruscant…” He mused, in his mind’s eye he saw the drop pods falling from the skies, thousands upon thousands, his own being destroyed free falling from the sky, landing with the 33rd division, and tearing into the core of the republic like a plague, pushing republic and jedi forces deep underground. Loki sighed and shook his head and took another look around. With a shock he realized he stood upon the lawn of the Jedi temple. Then he saw her. Sitting alone, away from the others. A brief memory as Loki stood in a corner while other acolytes whispered and pointed at him. Loki took his time but slowly walked among the younglings, they saw him yet they didn’t see him, as though a ghost passed among them, they paused then continued there play, though little did they know the playing was an early lesson in dealing death. Loki approached the figure on the bench silently he sat his size next to her. He didn’t say a word, it felt right to not speak. Something tugged at him inside, that the first word belonged to her…

Loki opened his eyes and turned to look at a particular mirror. Once more he spoke to the Array. "You have no concept of the force do you?" He muttered. He held out his arms, the mirrors began to flow, first slowly but building speed before one stopped in front of him. He could feel her, sense her. "I am home..You are an invader. I could not be expelled if you wished it. Try as you might. Someday..." Loki whispered . "Someday we all come here. This is our place of being. Home." He whispered as he approached the mirror one step at a time. "You are but a machine, I wouldn't expect you to understand the concept." With that Loki reached a hand through the mirror and stepped through.

Loki sneered at the Array as it finally reacted to his words negativity, It was advanced, but like a child. It didn't get its way and now it threw a tantram..but then the mirror like objects appeared. Loki spun around. Then he sat down for a moment to collect his thoughts, what seemed like an endless amount of time passed before he spoke. "You are evil. You're just like me...but we are different, I accept who I am, you deny it...I am rage, I am anger and control, I am all these things and more." He whispered knowing the Array could hear him. "I am limitless and you are but a line of code..." He whispered as an after thought. With eyes still closed he stood and began to walk among the mirrors, some of them filled with such pain, others anger and rage, despair, love, broken trust, lies and deceit, hatred and joy, some where so powerful he nearly wept, but his eyes did not open. He was looking for one story, one life force among so many and time was waning...

Loki whirled to his feet, as Raven approached, Eya and Sinnia where also struck down by the blade of a lightsaber...Loki stared at Raven for the longest time, his eyes seemed heavy as though he where drugged. He shook his head again. "No...I renounced that path..." With a sudden blend of speed his blades where in his hands, he knocked hers away and slammed his own into her chest, tears streamed down his face as her and his sabers rolled away from them deactivating as they went. Loki sank to his knees once more though no howl came as he wrenched him self from this vision, and stood before the Array. "NO MORE!" He roared as a wave of the force flew from behind him and at the Array, pure living darkside energy. "No more games machine. What is your purpose if you're not evil?" Loki bellowed.

The Array jolted him with its touch, he made another swing but was dismayed when it found no mark. Then once more things shifted. Loki shook his head as he took in the scene of devastation. He was still sitting with his legs cross Raven stood before him. "This isn't real." He muttered he sounded mad. "Not real, a lie, a lie." He muttered, he shook his head again like a Bantha with mites and growled, he opened his eyes and for a moment it all felt so real."Sinnia...no, no no..how would I tell your mother...I lead you here...I..." Loki reached her almost ignoring raven. "What did you do...." He said finally noticing Anna. "Jedi....." He whispered softly now reaching towards Anna...

Loki growled as his slapped missed but then the growl turned into a howl of remembered agony in reality Loki's body screamed as though being tortured audible to all those in the facility, a wrenching tearing sound few had ever experienced the scream of true despair. "No, No more..." Loki whispered, three years old already grown to his full height of seven feet, the voice that came out was that of a child, a toddler mostly babbles, the development of his brain was not yet complete, the pain was unreal, in the vision, other howls joined Loki's his brothers howls, it was unending torment. Inside Loki knew that this was over that three more years would pass and he would break free and kill his captors. Leaving his brothers behind to be found by Jedi, and he hitching a ride to Korriban. But he could barely separate the two, what was real? What was not, who was he? A monster..nothing but a monster, "No." a deep voice spoke from the void. "No you were...you are changing, fight brother." The voice said as it faded to nothing, Loki fought, he wrenched his mind free and with a twist he was kneeling before the Array panting heavily. "You...have no right to do that." Loki whispered..."What is your purpose, what makes you evil, why?" Loki muttered as much to the Array as to himself.

Loki listened to the Array in silence. His mind was racing. He didn't have much time yet time was relative here. He felt like he had already been gone hours yet barely a moment had truly passed he could almost sense the strife of the others, his warrior instinct went out to them. "And people called me a monster all my life, yet here you are..I have killed and tortured countless beings in this universe, yet what you do is maddening sickening, when you make a monster sick to his stomach...what does that make you?" Loki snapped a hand out and smacked the Array across the face. his expression of disdain and calmness never changing. "You are but a machine incapable of feeling, you are artificial yet the most intelligent I have ever met..Tell me can you feel pain?" He asked simply wondering vaguely how it would respond.

Loki sighed seeing things he would never forget bored him, he even exaggerated a yawn to prove the point. "The past is the past." Loki said simply. "I chose to change..perhaps it is too late for some. " brief images of faces flashed between the Array some faceless strangers, children women, all types of people and beings. His brothers and other Jedi among them, even fellow Sith lords. "I have made peace with my past, and will try my best to right the wrongs I've committed..." He said serenely. "But you must be aware that the being who did all of this." He said pointing at the more gruesome scenes the ones of Loki standing near piles of charred and smoking corpses or over the body of various Sith or Jedi or him standing on his warships as other ships were incinerated before their eyes in ever going slow motion. "Stands before you...And now, now it is your turn..." Loki said simply tilting his head. "What say you to that machine?"

Loki did not follow the beings movements as it spoke. He almost sneered when it asked who he was. But his frown deepened as it spoke of Anna. His frown turned into a scowl on its last words. “I am Loki, the force is my birthright, it is all mortal beings birthright…All of us one universe connected by an unending force a power we in thousands of years have yet to tap to its full potential. We the Sith, the Jedi other sects of force users, we are, the swords, the word, the eyes and keepers of this power, we know not how we are granted this gift but that we have it…as for you…” Loki said his frown turning to a sneer. “You are but a construct an invasion, you have no true right here but for the nefarious men who would use a living being for their own sick gains…” Loki paused and eyed the Array. “I have done terrible things…I have murdered, I have killed, destroyed entire armies of men, countless others..my own family..” Loki said softly. “But the monsters that made you..that did this to her? She is a person, not an experiment. You ask me why I want her? Because I was her..Something a machine like you could never understand if given a thousand years to process it.” Loki stated simply, his eyes shone yellow and silver, yellow and silver over and over as he spoke.

Four sectors away in a barracks like room stood twelve red and black clad storm troopers in front of them stood the survivors of this attack on the ones wrist a holographic display lit the room as he pointed at the location of the intruders, the ragtags shifted and muttered they had faced some of the attackers and weren’t keen to do so. The rumors of a monster rampaging through had spread to the lowest ranks. “We are going to finish this boys. We attack full on frontal assault, you lot. “ He bellowed pointing at the group of whites. “Are going first throw a volley of thermal dets, got it? Lets move!” As one they began to move for the exit and headed for the laboratory it wasn’t that long before the first wave tossed in thermal detonators at the labs entrance…while a second wave attacked with a barrage of laser fire at the opening. Loki stared at the Array his face conveyed no emotion here, he was home, he was whole once more, his fingers flexed no cybernetics here, his eye was whole once more, no strange reddened vision. He seemed immaterial, almost transparent with a wrenching snap he became solid to the Array, he stared as she spoke. Her smile was unnerving as Loki frowned ever so slightly eyeing her with apprehension. “You do not belong here, you are not like us.” He spoke quietly spreading his arms to give example to expanse of the universe, in a flash stars and nebulas flashed for a moment. “This is ours, and we it, you are a perversion and intruder, release her. “ He said solemnly. Not sure what would happen next, what type of fight or reason this apparition had. He slowly walked but in an expanse of the void was it merely the show of walking and merely floating? All was relative, nothing was real, yet at the same time it was more real than anything one ever experienced such strange sensations…

Loki watched as the man grew, a shape shifter he thought, listening to the man speak, Loki eyed Raven and saw her almost imperceptible nod as the words he spoke rang true to her Empathy, Loki looked over and smiled sadly at Sinnia, remembering the hug she had given him at the door. Loki did not look at Eya, but spoke to her. “You child are as insolent as your father, you think I cannot read your emotion? Feel the hatred for what Anna has caused? You stink of it.” He said quietly. “Stop acting childish and prepare to defend this room.” Loki looked over at Raven has he clipped his sabers to his belt, having released the man a few moments ago. “Jedi…there is an impending attack on this location…are you prepared, I cannot be touched, or harmed..I’ll be no help I’m looking to you to protect me.” He said though he wasn’t looking at her now, his eyes were on Anna, his mind light years from this spot. “I’ll get to her, I swear it. On my life.” He whispered, then in front of Anna’s capsule he sat down massive legs crossed, even in this position he could see Anna. Then he closed his eyes, slowly the sounds dissipated, the world stopped, the other were gone the distant echo of alarms blaring was all that was left, soon it too was gone and Loki was alone, he opened his eyes and saw nothing.

Loki strode forward. “Enough sniveling. You and you.” He said indicating Antidar and Adi respectfully. “You will answer for what happened here, especially you Antidar, you and I must have a long talk about the past….” Loki said as he stopped before the circular shaped door inside he heard the Array speaking and threatening someone. Loki growled. “Eya, Sin, Raven stay with me. Adi there is a powerful being somewhere in the facility, keep him away from this lab at all costs. Lay your life if you must.” Loki said with little compassion, the time for compassion was over, Loki put his hand against the door and tapped it. The Array mentioned two minutes. Loki turned his head and spat another glob of blood on the ground and wiped his mouth. Focusing down and out Loki found the locking mechanisms, and using the force engaged them and wrenched them open, ripping the door open…
Just as twelve laser turrets opened fire on an unarmed gray skinned bald man, Loki charged forward two Sabers in hand one black the other red, both longer than normal sabers and begin to spin them in an almost impossible to see motion sending the bolts back to their origin as fast as they fired as Loki strode forward and finally saw Anna for the first time in the flesh..and for the first time in his life, his heart shattered for another being. He was taken back to his childhood….
In a secret lab on the desert planet of Tattooine, a mad man experiments on three Zabraks, they are floating in grayish green liquid, three pods next to each other, they are the size of young Zabrak’s perhaps six or seven years, yet they barely passed through their mothers womb. They had been sold as quickly as they had been born into slavery to a Hutt crime lord, who wanted the ultimate bodyguards in just six years they would be fully grown, two times the size of normal zabraks, ten times as strong, faster, deadlier. Honed to perfection. Controlled. The pain..the agony they were subjected to, of being forced to grow faster beyond natural limits, was pain one would never forget. Slices and cuts to gauge healing and other factors excused endless bouts of torture, wires running from their bodies. Loki remembered it with horror and and pain, as he stared at the capsule holding Anna, he ignored the man for the moment and walked forward, the hole in his chest and back visible as he put his hand on the glass…
Loki turned and grabbed the man in a sudden flourish, lifting him up with a single hand and bringing him to Loki’s eye level, his voice held more venom than he had spoken to Kana with a spare twenty minutes ago..”Tell me everything you know, EVERYTHING!” Loki roared at the man, shaking him roughly. Loki used his free hand to wipe away something that was sliding down his face, this time it wasn’t blood, but a tear..the first he had cried in four decades…

Loki still upon the ground, focused hard one of two things were about to happen. Loki took a deep breath. He still saw the situation, could see everything from his prone position. He wondered if the Array also thought him dead, the others seemed to be reacting to visions of some sort, or perhaps fate had something far worse in store for Loki. Maybe the worst was yet to come…Loki took a deep breath.
<<NOW EYA!>>
He roared into her mind as, with enhanced speed he literally flew to his feet and at Adi, his arms outstretched, the dark side literally exploding out from him as he latched onto Adi not only with his massive arms but the force, where there had been nothing a moment before, now stood an entity of darkness and it spoke, none of them had ever seen Loki like this, the way he looked his face was taut with rage and compassion a horrible mixture the voice that spoke was haunting. “Come back to us Adi, or die there is no other option…” Loki looked at Eya and Nodded as Adi was lifted off his feet effortlessly by the Zabrak as blood trickled out a corner of his mouth the force enwrapping and entwining Adi and him self. Inward Loki hoped she had a plan, he did not want to snap Adi’s neck like this, it would be an ignoble death for such a valiant man.

Loki laid upon the ground..his eyes shut, his hearts barely beating, the wound was seeping. Smoke rising from the hole in his back, but he saw everything as the others arrived, as Antidar/Kana spoke, as the others arrived. Loki remained where he was…Sinna was distressed he could feel it. Loki inwardly sighed, he seemed dead, his force signature gone in a wink. He heard them all speaking, shouting, yelling. Something was wrong with Adi. Thinking only one thing, Loki realized only Eya’me could maybe snap Adi out of whatever in the name of the force caused him to snap. And literally stab Loki in the back.. Loki then reached out but only to Eya.
<<Eya, I am alive..Don’t react, Don’t move until I give the word, I am going to grab your father, I am going to hold him..Then you need to do, whatever the force guides you to do.. I’ll give an obvious signal. Don’t give it away girl. We only get one chance for this, one chance.>>
Loki said directly into her mind. Hiding his power, she couldn’t respond, but Loki hoped she understood his meaning. How important this was. Loki figured it was this, or kill Adi, or die trying not something he wanted to do. Anna needed them. They weren’t done yet.

Loki growled within his chest, knowing well that it would give Kana more reason to refer to him as the beast. Loki disengaged his saber and clipped it back his belt as Kana’s sword formed. Loki’s eye flashed silver and yellow again, though being so close to Anna it happened in an almost flashing pattern. “If you recall..Or perhaps you do not know yet? Your son is dead, as is my brother…at my hands.” Loki said with a snarky smile.
Loki crouched and slammed his hand into the floor it seemed to sink in without effort. Under his breath he whispered ancient words, word’s Kana alone would understand the meaning of. Slowly, with seeming effort, Loki pulled from the, at first a winged black hilt, attached to a seamless, red blade. It was nearly six feet in length. And once it was free of the ground Loki brandished it, smiling at Kana. “Do you forget who killed you, monster?” Loki spat with venom. “Why can’t you just stay dead? Like your children, you cling to life like a leech, like a parasite, yes that’s what you are. Nothing more than a parasite…” Loki sneered and held the sword pointed down at an angle. “Once more, I shall end you, you will not stop me..No one will…” Loki said quietly as he shot force lightning from his hand and charged Kana, knowing full well what would happen if Kana’s sword touched him even a slight pass, he came in closing the gap in a few strides swinging his own sword at full strength for Kana’s neck.

Welcome back Jedi scum. I agree and honestly The shadows really never did much in the great scheme of things in the galaxy even when I ran it. It was always a smaller based faction. Never intended for major events.
But honestly you should know the site has slowed considerably. It's not as fast paced and is focused more on good story, rather than one upping others. Which is really great for a writer of your caliber.
That being said I look forward to writing with you once more old friend. Albeit, it's gonna be strange interacting with sworn enemies in a nice way.
Yours in darkness.
Loki.

Loki turned a corner and came face to face with a small group of Storm troops retreating somewhere, the one backed into him. Loki did not speak, did not blink and smashed a fist into the side of his helmet, the man flew into the wall next to them in the hall, sliding down, a sickening crunch could be heard. The other two turned and Loki’s saber flared through them, heads rolling, calmly he continued down the hall, looking for the proper intersection.
Loki finally turned another corner and saw the door opening to the chamber he was looking for catching the barest hint of Anna’s cries..”Anna…”Loki whispered Then someone came from the door..…What stepped from it, resembled Antidar, but right now Antidar, could have been light years away. Aside from a small spark of Kaja, within this monsters mind, all Loki felt was Kanadeaus…
Loki was thrust back in time…the fields of Dantooine spread before him, next to him stood his brother and other Jedi, Loki was haughty and agitated. But even he agreed that letting the monster before them get stronger would be bad for the whole galaxy. A galaxy that Loki craved to rule. He was not speaking to the others, as a wind suddenly began spinning around the monstrous being of the darkside before them. After a moment, Loki dived into the wind, letting it take him up…A flash lightning, darkness descends..His saber is lit…then blackness…
Loki shakes his head and returns to the present. He brings his red bladed saber with a curved hilt up and smiles, as it ignites. “Well…Well….Look who still clings to life, and in one of his son’s no less…Still pathetic I see.” Loki said taking a few steps forward. “Do you remember this, Kana? Do you remember the pain? If you hurt Anna, I will remind you what its like to cross me…” Loki said barely above a whisper knowing that Kana would hear him…
