An underwater Sith academy built beneath the depths of the Kamino ocean more than a decade ago. The academy was constructed by the Sith Lords Ferinus, Malofus and Ver'metus in their attempt to escape the influence of then-Sith'Ari Feral Ragnos. The academy now sits entombed beneath the waves, abandoned for many years with its mysteries still lying within.

**Ferinus turned to his brother and arched an eyebrow, smiling before closing his eyes and concentrating. His mind felt.....strangely strained somehow. There were....voices. Distant. High-pitched. They were whispering nonsense, or at least nothing that he could discern. Ferinus believed he knew exactly where all of this was coming from.
It was coming from a piece of his own personal history.....a portion of his life now warped and twisted.
Ferinus shook his head and opened his eyes, piloting the sub over a sandy ridge.**"Then prepare yourself, brother. We're here." **The Sith Lord stared determinedly ahead as the old academy came into view. His eyes danced across its curving archways, its hauntingly why stones, its silent visage. This was a place of darkness, a place of the Dark Side beneath the darkest depths of the Kamino ocean. It had been no wonder the Ji'Dai could never have detected it in their dizziest daydreams.
It was here that Malofus, Ver'metus and he had felt safe from Feral, safe from all those they believed would do them harm. As the submarine approached the immense front entrance of the temple, Ferinus' onyx eyes marveled over the gigantic carved figures of dark foes of the past. Of course, all of that had been part of the temple when they first discovered it....or rather when Malofus had first discovered it. The handiwork of his own lay within, including the mysteries that he and the others would soon find.
Ferinus brought the sub to a halt in front of the temple. He smiled at his brother and bent his head back to where Ty lay.**"Unfortunately, this is the part where we wake her up. She needs to swim now."

*He stood up and cracked his neck and took his sabercane and handed it out to his brother*
"Hold this, its much safer than holding her when she wakes up so yea.."
*looking out the front he saw the entrance and it was massive and he raised an eyebrow. This was going to be something different but they could discuss more once they were inside. Turning he headed to the crew cabins where she was and scooped her little form in his arms and brought her to the front*
"how will we be getting inside exactly?"

**Ferinus smiled and stood up himself, stretching.**
"Worry not, Phantom. We can get inside.....provided you say the right pass code."
**Ferinus chuckled, but knew he would have to remember it.**
"Aren't you going to.....ah.......wake her up?"

"I will wake her up when we are inside, shes going to capsize this sub if I wake her up here so it would be best for us all there"
*He waited to follow, the little one was dwarfed against him, it almost looked like he was just carrying a coat that had hair, he made sure to keep her tight in the coat so she would be comfortable and around something familiar. It was the same coat he wore when he found her and the same way he wrapped her up all those years ago*
"After you brother"

**Ferinus nodded and stood.**
"Very well. Let us begin!"
**Ferinus tossed Phantom two rebreathers and placed one in his own mouth. He opened a metal crate and packed medical supplies, various tools and his weapons inside. Ferinus doube-checked the seals on the crate, ensuring it would not allow water in, and approached the controls again.**
"Brace yourselves."
**Ferinus turned the submarine sideways and sent it upwards, searching for one particular spot on the doors. Finding it, he parked the sub right up against it. The Sith Lord stood and opened the side hatch. Water began pouring into the sub, but because they were right against the surface of the door, a small air pocket was created. Phantom and Ty would be able to see the smooth stone surface of the doors, with intricate designs carved into its surface.
Ferinus placed both hands on the surface of the door, his scar and eyes turning pitch-black once again. The black tendril veins spread across his hands and he bellowed in one sonorous voice.**
"SOLVE ET COAGULA."
**At first nothing happened. Then something shifted, almost like a thundering behind the doors. Suddenly, the portion of the immense doors they were in front of opened into a large square opening. Panels shifted aside, revealing a surprising metal square chamber within. As it turns out, only a portion of the immense doors actually opened.
However, more water was now beginning to come inside. Ferinus levitated the crate and donned his rebreather. He snapped his head to the side and walked into the chamber, crate floating behind him. He beckoned for Phantom to follow as the submarine's hatch began to close to cut off the water flow.**

*HE took one and placed it in his mouth then placed the other in Ty's mouth and using the force kept it in place and followed his brother. Seeing the hatch open and the water rushing in. He wondered how it would dock while the water poured, some of it splashing down on him and he turned keeping it off of Ty until the hatch locked into place.
This was one interesting design and he would be intrigued within. Climbing up the hatch with Ty over a shoulder he followed the box of items they stole and into a metal chamber with ty in his arms, this was odd but followed his brothers lead. He tried to get a look but the massive crate was in the way, instead he just waited, activated his and her rebreathers and followed in tow*

**Once the three of them had made it into the metal chamber, Ferinus removed his rebreather and the crate set itself down on the metal floor. He looked back to see the hatch close on the submarine. In fact, the door to the temple was still open. He could see the sub floating there and the entirety of the ocean outside the academy.
Ferinus cocked a crooked smile to his brother and stuck his hand through the opening immediately feeling the cold of the water as his hand hung between air and water.**
"A particle shield. Water stays out there. Air stays in here. Otherwise, this would be a physical impossibility."
**Ferinus retrieved his hand and chuckled.**
"Malofus, you clever son of a tauntaun."

*He walked in and then looked at the floating sub, his feet were on the ground and there was air, but just in front of him was a planet of water pushing and he looked and watched his brother stick his hand out and get wet*
"That is a very good design, I am impressed"
*He cradled ty and put her on the floor and took out a second syringe of adrenaline and then pushed it in her and then took his coat off of her and put it on ready for the explosion ready to come*

To say that Ty woke quietly a and with grace would be a flat out lie. The moment that adrenaline hit her system, Ty bolted up to her feet in less time it would take for either men to blink. Her saber instantly in her hand and ignited as her wild eyes took in there new surroundings. She stood there, breathing heavily until her eyes focused, first on Phantom, then on Ferinus. And she relaxed and disengaged her saber.
Holy Hell!!! Phantom!
Ty growled and threw a punch square at Phantom's jaw, her entire body thrumming with energy from the shot.
For the love of Bane!!
Ty was fuming at the trickery of the Sith, but deep deep down was grateful for his handling the situation

*Standing on the side he tossed the syringe out of the particle shield and waited. The response was immediate and listened to her scream and curse and he nodded as the saber came out and then deactivated. He was about to say something smart when she clocked him in the jaw and he turned and grabbed her pulling her into a tight hug and then toussled her hair and let her go and patted her back rubbing it softly and turned*
"Alright brother, whenever you are ready to lead the way"
*He took his massive cane in hand and slid it along his back and waited*

Being pulled into a hug only rustled her up more, and Ty bit Phantom on the forearm, just before he tousled her hair. When he released her she turned and growled up at him with annoyance playing on her expressions
Just what the hell were you trying to do to me?!
She rounded on Ferinus and growled
And you!!!
With slow steps she made her way towards him anger ebbing with each footfall as she finally looked around and noticed they were no longer in that God-forsaken submarine and she dropped her gaze to her feet and took a rattling breath
Thank you.... I guess...
Ty looked up to Phantom and gave a more playful glare, but a glare all the same
You too, Phantypants.
The sarcasm dripped from her voice as she gave a taunting smile and then stood up straighter and ran a hand through her hair and she gave a dazzling smile to their guide
Alright Feri, let's get going

**Ferinus chuckled at Ty's spastic awakening, but full-out laughed as she clocked his brother. He silently reminded himself to never be the one who drugged her....ever.
Ferinus smiled down and nodded down toward Ty, not saying a word. He knew he didn't need to make her feel more timid. He needed her 100% if they were going to make it through this place.....alive.
At Phantom's and Ty's instruction, Ferinus nodded and proceeded to walk toward the metal wall standing between them and the rest of the abandoned academy. There was a large metal wheel protruding from its surface, looking like one of those old ship wheels from the history books Ferinus was so fond of reading.
But it didn't make any sense to him. This wheel was all they needed to open into the ensuing chamber? That didn't seem right. Why would there be such lax security?
He didn't remember it being that way when they had first built the academy....
Ferinus placed both hands on different ends of the wheel and threw all of his strength to the right.
It didn't even budge.
Arching an eyebrow, Ferinus twisted it again.
Still nothing.
Ferinus tried several more times, each time as unsuccessful as the last. The Sith Lord growled and stormed away a few paces.**
"INFURIATING CONTRAPTION!!!"
**As if answering his outburst, a small blue light blinked and shone in the ceiling. Soon it expanded and broadened, taking shape. It then projected the hologram image of a younger Sith, a more fearsome-looking Sith. A Sith with long, silver hair and skin white as paper with a black scar down the center of his face. He wore long, dark tattered robes and spoke with a deep, croaking voice.**
::Halt where you are. You have been identified as potential enemies of this great academy. Identify your business this instant.::
**Ferinus' onyx eyes widened and he immediately looked to Phantom and Ty. He sighed. This was a built-in safety protocol....and that was the image of his younger self....before he left Feral's academy.**
"Oh, Bane. OhBaneOhBaneOhBane....why....."
**Ferinus had to admit it. He was now embarrassed.**

*He was bit and raised an eyebrow and watched her round on her brother until she came to and chuckled*
"glad you are better"
*Shaking his head he followed and they approached the door he watched his brother go to the door and struggle and curse in anger.
Reaching in his cloak he reached for some explosives until a hologram came out and he immediately noticed the face and voice and broke down laughing
Gripping his sides he laughed deeply and had to turn and take deep breaths to compose himself*

It took Ty a little bit longer for it to click that the hologram was a younger version of Ferinus, but when it did, she might as well have stayed on the ground as she fell over with her laughing. She rolled side to side, hugging herself, and didn't even try to stop, knowing that if Ferinus couldn't figure it out, she'd have to go back on that tin can. After a moment her laughter trailed off and she managed to scramble to her feet again, wiping a tear out of her eye
Aaaaaaw! Look at the baby Feri!!!

**Ferinus' fists shook as the both of them laughed. Why did he choose to do that??? Seriously, how stupid was he? Did he think this was somehow intimidating??? What had possibly transpired in his mind.
The Sith Lord shook his head and talked up to his younger self.**
"Oi. We would like access to the academy. Passcode: Solve et Coagula."
**The image of the younger Ferinus turned on him.**
::I didn't request a passcode. I asked for your business.::
"Oh, Kriff."
**So this wasn't just a security protocol. It was an actual VI.
The younger Ferinus turned on the others as they laughed. It grumbled down at Phantom.**
::Phantom, I had a suspicion you'd come one day. Are you here to kill me, then? Did Feral send you?::
**The hologram then squinted down at him.**
::When did you get so old? And so emaciated? And so fat?::
**The younger Ferinus then turned on Ty. He didn't say anything at first, but his eyes gave her a not-so-subtle up-and-down. **
::Hello.::
**Ferinus facepalmed. His younger self had been such a horndog. It was time to speak up again.**
"We are here to examine the remains of this academy, Ferinus. It's been at least a decade since you were last activated. Malofus and Ver'metus are gone....elsewhere now. You are guarding nothing of value any longer. End this charade."
**The hologram looked down on him and scowled.**
::And you....you must be Phantom's lackey.::
**Ferinus pressed his mouth into a line and nodded.**
"Yep. That's right. Nailed the hammer on the head right there. I am....Phantom's lackey."

Ty watched as the "holo-Ferinus" looked her up and down and she grinned with mischief playing in her eyes. She could see that the creator of this security protocol was rather flustered and at the end of his rope with his younger self, so she took a couple of steps to close the distance between her and the projection and gave her most flirtatious smile
Hello yourself
She looked over her shoulder at the real Ferinus and gave a wink before turning back to the projection, speaking low as if trying to "put the moves" on it
You're cute! Listen, I've been stuck with these two boring nerf herders for weeks now. I could use some fresh blood. What say you and I find a private room somewhere where we can get better acquainted
It's not like she really expected it to work, just using this moment to poke a little fun at Ferinus and Phantom both. Yet she kept her most charming look up as she gave the hologram her big sparkling eyes with a mock look of lust.

*He was about to take out explosives and shut this thing up. A scowl crossing his face as it checked out his sister and looked over at his brother.
As he was aboit to speak she had sashayed and teased and moved around seductively and if sexually harassing an AI would work then he would take it.
Taking a step back and putting his hands on his hips the explosives and things were jist in arms reach*

**Ferinus kneaded his forehead. While Ty was attempting her own....sultry.....way of doing things, Ferinus was trying to figure out what he had to do or say to gain them admittance into the inner chambers. He had half a mind to let Phantom blow the door apart.
Then, Ferinus had a terrible realization.
She was trying to flirt with the younger him.
With Angsty Ferinus.
Tanith.
Ferinus opened his mouth to say something, but his younger VI self beat him to it.**
::You think I don't know I"m a virtual interface?::
**It smiled down at Ty and shook its head.**
::How exactly would we get to know each other better? You are beautiful.....but someone already tried alluring me with their looks....long ago.::
**Ferinus started shaking his head. This wasn't good.**
::Enjoy our failsafes. Oh, and Phantom, if that truly is you and you are here to kill me, I'm sure you'll survive this....and I'll see you soon.::
**The hologram blipped out.**
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
**A piercing, shrieking ring burst forth, filling the room and beyond. It rang out for around a minute before suddenly ending.
For a moment, there was nothing but silence.
Until a loud roar echoed from beyond the particle shield.
Out in the ocean.
Ferinus saw a fizzling spark emanate from the corners of the particle shield.
The Sith Lord sighed.**
"Rebreathers on, everyone."
**Ferinus stuck his in his mouth just in time for the particle shield to deactivate and the rushing waters of the entire Kamino ocean to crash upon them.**

*he growls and ripped the chord from his cloak and slid it along the outside of the door and then slapped a bottle of exploding jelly on it
Touching the starting wires and putting the re breather in his mouth and the jelly was melting through the door as the chord exploded, the shaped charges focusing the blast on the small lines and sent a shockwave though the door, the melting door with the jelly had burned through it and weakened the integrity
As the water crashed through them he looked at his brother, speaking to him in the force*
<<I. Hate. You. >>
