Dark Force Temple, Dromund Kaas.
Lord Znalost had made it inside of the Dark Force Temple and once inside, he was granted visions of a place unlike anything he had ever seen then he snapped back to reality and sensed immense greed coming from further inside of the Temple, Znalost could also feel the dark side like never before. The visions that he was granted by the temple remained on his mind as he continued to fight his way through heavy resistance. Lord Znalost would make sure that the enemy within the Temple was defeated and that the Blackguard Reborn held the Temple until the Sith'ari told them that either wise. Znalost could still hear the sounds of blaster fire outside of the temple. It wasn't until Lord Znalost was already inside of the Temple that some of his clone troopers and undead troopers entered behind him. It wouldn't be too much longer before Znalost and his troops reached the control room and engage the enemy's powerful force-user general.

The group made theiray inside where they were met with more enemy forces. As the troops began to engage, them, the four already began prepping for their attack. Having trained side by side as they did for four years and driven in the mindset of unity and working together, they already knewhat to do without needing to say a word.
Filing in behind Prakira was a strange thing to behold. But the obviousness of the plan was show as she activated her lightshield. Covering the whole front of her body with its size allowed for those behind her to be safe from the frontal attack. Pushing themselves closer, the female Zabrak slammed her shield into the ground as she bunkered down for the next step. With her saber put away, her free hand began shaping a Force Barrier in front of them, casting it out in a five foot radius around them.
The barrier gave them room to prepare. Focusing on the elements, Raara used Alter Enviornment to drop the tempature around the soldiers. Bit by bit the colder air fought against the enemy as she worked then to manipulate the aid to blow. Before long she was pulling in massive gusts of air that moved passed them into the enemy, both throwing them off balance and making the cold that much harder to bear.
Finally, as Raara underwent her attack, Duvrax and Krokaa built up the Force, condensing it into their hands. Glowing red energry alerted those to what was coming, but thanks to Raara and Prakira, there was nothing they could do to stop it or hide from it. Once they were ready, they stepped out on either side of Prakira as the barrier dropped and they released their powerful Force Bursts into the enemy, effectively taking out over half the troops in front of them.
It wasn't but a moment before the quartet then ran intobthe fray, aided by tge Force to quicken their steps and take advantage of the moment, bringing down the enemy in no tine and without major injury to those under them.

Dromund Kaas - Dark Force Temple Detonate the charges...and let us leave this place. The master requires our presence elsewhere...As the shuttles were loaded, Chamtivost paused as the charges they had set in the control room, were detonated. Dust shook from the ceiling and a rumble could be felt through the ground. From beneath his helm, Chamtivost grinned. Any information they previously had held here, was gone. The master would be pleased about this, at least.All forces, hold until command crew is away. Tu'iyia aukotis waria tuti kakiji ir ri tadti' Aiuso*.And with that, Chamtivost boarded the shuttle as it lifted off the ground...
*='Your sacrifices will be remembered in the coming Empire.'

As the four continue to fight their way through, they felt the rumble from the explosions. The shockwaves caused the ceiling of the old temple to crack and fall in the area they were standing. Not hesitating once, the four of them converged together as Prakira lifted her hands and created a barrier around them as Duvrax, Krokaa, and Raara, who positioned themselves in a triangle with the female Zabrak in the center lifted their hands, using their Telekinesis to stop some of the bigger rocks from reaching them. Once everything ceased and quieted down, they threw the rocks off in different directions, focusing them on some of the remaining enemy troops.

Dark Force Temple Control room, Dromund Kaas.
Lord Znalost had entered the control with his soldiers and was at a terminal when the first charge detonated, it was in a spit second before the rest went off that Znalost summoned and surround himself with a Force barrier. He witness the explosion and watch as his clone troopers and his undead troopers where kill either in the blast, the shock wave, or by falling debris. It was sheer luck that Znalost was standing by a terminal, which he ended up saving in from the blast by using the force barrier, it was also lucking that Znalost had been drawing on the power of the temple when he used the barrier. He had no idea whether or not any information survived the blast even on the only terminal remaining in what was once the control room. Lord Znalost knew that the enemy had to be despite to even consider damaging the temple, and he could use that against them. He turning to the terminal and started to press buttons to see if it was even functional and to his surprise it was, but it held no useful information just that a shuttle had departed prior to the explosion. Znalost smiled beneath his durasteel mask and activated his holo projector.
Captain Blackburn, a shuttle just recently departed the temple. Can you track its course?
Captain Blackburn answered the holo and replied to the dark lord as quickly as he could.
I can sir, it will take a few moments to do so. I heard an explosion, are you alright?
I'm fine Captain, the enemy decided to run away like the cowards they are and they blew up there own temple to make it happen. Send clean up crews once we receive word that the last enemy soldier has been defeated.
Yes sir, as you command.
With that Lord Znalost ended the call and started to walk out of what was left of the control room and headed to the landing pad where the shuttle was. Lord Znalost walked carefully so to avoid any structurally weakened floor or walls and anything else that could collapse on top of him at any given moment. He would find this force-user and end him for destroying so much knowledge, knowledge that he might have found useful.

Imperial Citadel - Kaas City With the collapse of the Cultist Fleet over Dromund Kaas, and the slow, but inevitable defeat looming over them on the surface, the Imperial Citadel had been evacuated to the northern polar region. Millennial, along with those still deemed valuable, were gathered in preparation of fleeing to their stronghold, much deeper within the Sith Worlds. Whether all of the survivors escaped would remain to be seen, though Millennial was certain he could escape with at least his general in tow.
Dromund Kaas' Northern Polar Region Millennial and the few members he deemed valuable, had arrived at the polar region where several ships had been stored, including Millennial's Meditation Sphere. As the others boarded their craft, Millennial climbed a board his ship and sat down, losing himself in the ebb and flow of the Force. As the autopilot activated, he began his Battle Meditation, aiding his remaining forces on the planet long enough to ensure his escape. Rising up off the snowy plateau, the small convoy of craft accelerated skyward...

As the shaking stopped after the final charge went off, Duvrax, Krokaa, Prakira, and Raara stepped away from the area that served as their safe zone thanks to Prakira's defenses. They looked around, seeing the much of their forces, as well as the enemy, had fallen. Yet a few remained, giving the quartet a reason to continue pushing through, ensuring all resistance had been nullified.
As they went, they noticed Znalost making his way through, returning to the temple's exterior. It was an easy task for them to catch up, the four of them giving a bow.
"My lord, are you alright? What happened?" The brown Zabrak stepped forward as he asked. A scoff the came from the larger, black and red Zabrak.
"Looks like the enemy got scared and tried to bring the place down around us. Damn bastards."

Of the two major structures on Dromund Kaas, the Circle of Knowledge tended to lean towards the Dark Force Temple over that of the Dark Temple, a complex built by the Old Sith Empire. While the Conclave seemed to focus more so on the history of the Old Sith, the Dark Force Temple was almost like an enigma. It had been the center of a heresy to the Rule of One, founded by the apostate Darth Millennial, the Dark Force cult. More a religion, following the teachings of Plaristes and Dak Ramis, the cult thrived even after the death of Millennial and would, one day, come to the centerfold of Sidious' Galactic Empire as the Emperor's Mages. Their abilities in foresight, knowledge of the Dark Side, and their Sith magic was a welcomed addition to the ranks of Dark Side Adepts to Darth Sidious.
The Circle of Knowledge began to comb its libraries and tombs, searching for all intellectual documents that had survived for over a thousand years. These mages were potent Sith magic practitioners, not on the level of the Sorcerers of Rhand, but still quite capable. Their methods and teachings on how they achieved this level would prove useful for the Conlave's own corps of sorcerers and mages.

The Felstorm continued its descent down from Orbit before the Star Pyramid came to a stop in the air just at the entrance to the Dark Temple Pass. A few dozen transports launched from the Felstorm and made for the Dark Temple. Droids rushed out of the transports as they touched down and began to swarm the Temple, clearing the grounds and working through the innards of the structure. Valefor stepped off his own transport, his Sith Amulet securely on his left hand as he strode toward the building. It was here that Tenebrae's last host body had been destroyed, affecting the Force Nexus that had grown here over years of Sith occupation beforehand. And now Valefor would focus that energy into the first of his crystals

The Battle Droids cleared the path from the entrance through the Central Chamber and into the Inner Chamber. Once cleared, the droids filed out and got to work securing the side chambers that split off from the Main Chamber. Valefor slowly and carefully walked along the metal and stone clad floor toward the central statue that dominated the Chamber. Whether this was installed by Lord Pharshol or later by Darth Vitiate was hard to say. The Dark Temple was fairly extensively renovated and expanded upon by the Sith Emperor when he first re-discovered Dromund Kaas and set up his new Sith Empire here. Whoever its architect was, definitely knew how to make it dominate the space. But Valefor was not awed by it, merely noticing it as a passing curiosity as he made his way up the stairs to the second floor and into the Inner Chamber.
The deepened presence of the Dark Side had been unmistakable since he set foot upon Dromund Kaas, but that presence had only intensified as he had entered the Temple and drawn closer to the Inner Chamber. Here, the presence of the Nexus was almost overwhelming to his senses. It was invigorating to feel such dark energy swirling all around, feeding the symbiotic connection his people had with the Dark Side. Lesser minds might have been tricked by this boost of energy and left the Temple with an inflated sense of self worth only to find their new found strength gone the moment they left this place. Valefor was not so easily fooled.
Something that the Nexus perhaps sensed as it finally conjured up a likeness of Tenebrae in a ghost-like form within the Chamber, standing opposite the Fabricator-General. It was an impressive display, but despite his overwhelmed senses he was certain this conjuration was not the actual Sith Lord of old. Merely a test to see if he was worthy of the power the Nexus held and that Valefor was about to take as he set to work carving runes into the floor of the Chamber Another pretender, to my mantle... Do you really think you are worthy of my power? Valefor barely paused as he went about his work when the apparition spoke The only pretender here, is you. You may look like Tenebrae, but you are not him. His spirit was banished long ago... But where he failed, I intend to succeed.
A bold claim... I was one of the most powerful Sith Lords of mine or any other time. I had Zildrogg at my beck and call. What do you have? Finishing a rune, Valefor rose up and walked over to the ghost and reached out his gauntleted hand to grip the Avatar around the throat I don't need some superweapon, when I have this...
The Demon Gauntlet of Eternus... Impossible...
I forged it with my own hands, and soon... I shall claim the power that created you and add it to my Talisman, to the... Eternus Caetus... The name came forth within his mind, sparked by the name that the Avatar had called his Talisman by. He tossed the spirit across the room and returned to his work. The Avatar of Tenebrae got up with ease Perhaps you might be the one... But I will not surrender my power willingly... Valefor...
I didn't expect you would... It's why I'm going to take it... He finished up the runic markings on the floor. A mix of arcane and alchemical formulas and spell work composed the circle that Valefor moved into the centre of I claim the power of this nexus... this legacy of Tenebrae... as my own! He raised out his gauntleted hand palm up as his eyes closed over. His voice rumbled throughout the room as he began chanting, reciting the incantation to pull the power of the Nexus and focus it into a single point. Alchemical formulas spoke of crystallizing the concentrated energy, forming it slowly into a gem. As the ritual began, ghostly apparitions started to appear and charge at Valefor, as the Nexus fought to resist his power. But the Alchemist had foreseen this and a barrier of Force Energy cause the spirits to exploded into nothingness as they touched it.
Slowly the Nexus of energy took upon a more physical and corporeal presence, whipping up a storm of wind inside the chamber. But Valefor stood unperturbed as he recited his spellwork. Everything happening now was merely a show, a test to see whether he would falter in the face of danger. But he would not give into such cheap tricks. Try and resist as it might, Valefor would ultimately be victorious as the gem slowly started to form in the air just above the metal covering his palm. A purple glow slowly emanating as more of the crystal was formed.
The Nexus tried to fight back harder as the ritual progressed and more of its power was sapped away into the Eternus Gem until the crystaline structure was completed and Valefor's chanting came to an end. The gem glowed brilliantly in the air, suspended in place as Valefor inspected and examined his work The first of six Gems is completed... He reached over with his right hand and gripped the Gem between his thumb and forefinger. Tendrils of purple energy lashed out and into his skin as he held the Gem, while he turned his left hand over to present the back of his hand upwards. Powering through the pain, he placed the Gem into the first slot of the Caestus. Its form seeming to briefly become liquid as the lower half melted in to fill in the fitting. A brilliant purple light flashed as it settled into place and added its power to the Talisman Five remain... He swept around, the wings upon his back stirring the air as the runes melted away and Valefor took his leave of the Temple, his droid forces exfilling back to the Felstorm. As the Transports returned back to their mothership, the Felstorm took off back toward orbit

The red blade of a lightsaber slashed through the leathery hide of a juvenile Vine Cat. The stenght of burnt flesh filled his nostrils. Regardless, the Zabrak stood his ground, as three more Vine Cats encircled him. Gritting his teeth, he shifted his weight onto this left leg and prepared for the next cat to pounce. And it did. Twisting out of its reach, the Zabrak brought his blade to bear, cutting into the cat's flank. As it howled in pain and agony as it fell, the Zabrak extended his left hand and telekinetically plucked the wounded cat up and flung in into another. At that point, the rest of them decided it wasn't worth the effort and fled. Breathing heavily, hearts pounding in his chest, the Zabrak let out a loud howl, establishing his dominance.Returning to Dromund Kaas hadn't been the original plan, but training in its jungles kept him sharp. Though once the Blackguard Imperium collapsed due to the absence of a capable leader, Venom fled. His brother, Valafar, disappeared as well. In the ensuing chaos, they hadn't been able to keep track of each other once the Sith'ari had fled from Mustafar. Where his clan brother ended up, he didn't know. Though, it would be good to see him again, one day.Garbed in a tattered cloak, overtop the scuffed and streaked armor he wore, the Zabrak extinguished his blade and clipped the hilt of his saber to his belt. Walking passed the corpse of a Vine Cat, the Zabrak entered his shelter, prefab structure formerly used as a forward operating base during the Blackguard's invasion of the planet. Abandoned and forgotten, like so many other things here, the Zabrak had fled Mustafar until he could run no longer, settling here. It hadn't been the most ideal of places, but once the Resurgent Sith Conclave seemed to collapse, it was significantly easier to move around without the risk of being executed on sight. A drab existence now, in comparison to where he had been, but he was alive. Above all else, that was important. And training in the jungles of the dark world, kept both his skills sharp and his body in shape. All in all, there were worse fates.
