[Once Darth Noctis get's whatever he needs in this haul, the thread will be moved to the Archives afterwards. - Grim]
This is the remaining piece of Darth Belial's Armada before it was swiped away. This place contains nothing more but darkness and lies. However, if you look in the right place, it is said that whatever you are searching for, an answer may come in this place.

The starfighter was small compared to the overly huge part of the haul. "Switching to low beams." He said to his droid so his starfighter would be able to see through the darkness. The starfighter moved in slowly into the open part of the haul. Noctis could not see a thing at all in there. "Try to see if you can find his body..." He said to his droid. His radar wasn't picking up anything while his starfighter flew slowly and calmly into the darkness. "Do you see a place where we can land and do the search by foot?" He asked his droid. "Yes, there's a landing platform a few kilometers away. Theres an entrance there where I can see that the behind it, everything is perserved. That means oxygen behind that door." "Alright good. We'll land there and we'll do the search in foot. I sense something in here just now, a dark presence. Maybe it's his body." Noctis said as he flew his ship to the platform his droid was talking about.

Noctis finished putting on his gear for traveling in space. He was still human so he needed oxygen. He pooped the cockpit and jumped out swiftly. His astromech droid launched itself out and went by his side. Noctis took out his datapad and started to move forward where the entrance was.
It's right over there. Once we're through, you can take off the gear." His droid said in his datapad. Noctis acknowledge it and walked forward. There was the huge entrance way Noctis could see as the two got closer to the door. "How do we open it?" He asked looking at his droid thinking of him doing it. "Allow me," his droid responded by moving to a terminal and sticking someting into the socket. Within a few moments, the entrance started to shake and slowly it began to open.

As the entrance way opens, Noctis felt the quick air being released from it. From the particles, he could not sense any oxygen molecules in it. "That insolent droid. He was going to try and kill me!" He thought as he continued to watch the doors open. "Alright, let's go." He said walking through the entrance way. As he stepped through, he looked to the right and saw that a window had been broken. Darth Noctis was now sure that his droid wanted to kill him. He gave the droid a stare of death. "What? I am a droid of the Sith. We're all backstabbers aren't we?" Noctis did not choose to answer that question. Instead, he looked at his datapad. "It looks like we're in the bridge. I think his quarters would be down below us." He told his droid.
Without letting his droid answer, Darth Noctis walked down the dark stairs. As he decended, the light from the stars that were out in space started to dim as he took every step down. "Flashlight" He told his droid to give him. The flashlight launched and using the Force, Darth Noctis grabbed it and turned it on. The path he was taking was unusually clean. Even his droid noticed it. With caution, Noctis continued his decent upon the stairs, hopefully finding where Darth Belial's quarters were.

Darth Noctis reached the ground floor of the destroyed Haul. His flashlight could barely light anything within this floor. Everything was so dark, Noctis felt at home. "Do you know where it is? Does your sensors say anything?" He asked his droid friend right next to him. When I opened the door, I also downloaded the schematics. Darth Belial's quarters should be five yards away to our left." The droid responded through Noctis' datapad. Darth Noctis nodded and he walked on the direction given to him.
His dark flowing robes made it seem like he had no feet. His hood covering his head also made him look more sinister than ever. He walked the five yards and came to the door. He forced it to open and he slowly entered Darth Belial's chambers.

As Noctis entered through the door, he immediately jumped forward as a crimson blade came over him. As he stood up, the door shut tight right before his droid could enter. Three other blades lit up afterwards. "Darth Belial's guards are still alive? Even without oxygen?" He asked himself in disbelief. However as soon as he asked himself, the answer came right away. He smiled to himself and thought, "Ah, that's right, there is a Sith meditation technique that can control breathing. They must be very skillful then. Too bad they all have to die."

Darth Noctis pulled out his lightsaber spear. He extended his hand out and the handle grew. His left hand handled the bottom part while his right was placed above it. Using his palmprint modifications, the lightsaber spear recognized his prints and it turned on. It extended the regular three feet blade, it's color matching his opponents.
In silence, the one that attacked him first rushed at him, his lightsaber arched over his opposite shoulder. In a wide swing, he aimed to cut off Darth Noctis' head. However, this Sith Apprentice is much more skilled than his rank says. His training of his body to become master of aerobics made his dodge easy as his body flipped backwards. Darth Noctis held his spear at his side and started to thrust mildly at his opponent. Not ever seeing this style of fighting before, he opponet was confused, not knowing where the next thrust would be. However, Noctis' opponent was in tune with the Force enough to use his saber and deflect the shots being thrusted to him.
The two parried quickly inside the chambers. Flashes of red were glowing from their saber clashes. Chairs were cut in half due to their saber's miss attack for their opponent. The atmosphere in that room was deadly. One would feel the anger and the rage in there. Truely, it was an intense first battle. Now, as they got closer to another guard, that guard got out of their way and let them continue their duel. It was at the moment Darth Noctis retracted his spear and turned it into a regular saber when he had the advantage. They two were saberlocked, both sides pushing towards their opposites. Noctis could feel the darkside overflowing from this guard and yet it was percise and clean cut. However, Noctis remembered he was trained by the four most devastating Sith Lords out there and using this moment of deadlock, he quickly let go of one hand from his saber and used it to propel the electric tendrils that is Force Lighting.
As his opponent flew across the room, Noctis leaped into the space, landing on top of the fallen guard. Quickly, he spun his saber upside down and ended this duel.
However, as this duel ended, his next opponent took the chance and immeidately appeared behind him, saber ready to swing transversely. Sensing the oncoming danger, Noctis waited for the last second before flipping behind him and decapitating his head. "I am the fastest around, even if I did come out of that battle, I know if someone is coming to me from behind." He told himself looking for the last opponent, who, unmistakenly disappeared. Or as Darth Noctis thought.

Darth Noctis deactivated his saber and put it away. He walked to where he thought was the middle of the room. He closed his eyes (though no one could have really seen him because of the dark surrounding) and tried to feel the Force where the last guard is. His Force Sense went everywhere and covered everything. However, there was still no sign of the last guard. "Where did he go?" He thought to himself as he moved forward into the chambers.
Undoubtedly he found the light switch. The lights turned on and Noctis could see the mess he had created with the first battle. And to that, he also saw no sign of the last guard, but instead the bodies of the two he had just killed.
Noctis looked around the chambers. There was no sign of Darth Belial in this room whatsoever. Only pictures and files that had not been written out. "No Holocron either?" He thought to himself as he turned the room upside down, literally. It would seem his journey was a failure. Though nothing to be found, Darth Noctis had started to walk away when he felt a small energy signature right behind him. Quickly, he avoided the lightsaber slash and jumped over the last guard.
"Are youuu loooookinnnggg foooor thiisssss?" He hissed at Noctis. Right there and then, he knew this last guard was a reptile type kind of alien. "I will need that holocron. By the order of Darth Vortex, Sideous, Bane, and the Great Exar Kun, give me that holocron or die!" "No one gets this holocron no matter who orders it." He said swiftly, his crimson saber in one hand while the other holding the holocron. "My Masterrrr ssspeciffficccly told meee to gaurd it with my lifffeee-fuh. To know one will I give my Masterssssss' secretssss...." Noctis was obiviously pissed at this point. "Then that only gives me one action to choose from and that is for you to die!"

The Reptile like guard leaped into the air, his lightsaber held in one hand. Noctis drew his saber and aimed to cut his body in half, but he was slow. The guard was hanging on a handle bar above the roof. He hid Darth Belial's holocron in his pocket and hung using only his feet. "Die!" he said dropping quickly at the Sith apprentice. Noctis dodged to the side and quickly got up. He held his saber in front of him and the noise that came from it only hummed. Noctis held it close and waited for the reptilian to attack.
Swiftly, the guard jumped forward, making a corkscrewing motion towards Noctis. Noctis side stepped, and counterattacked by swiftly swing downwards. Unfortunately, the guard stopped in it's track seeing Noctis' blade. The guard blocked above his head as he kneeled on on knee. Noctis took this chance to kick him in the side and the guard rolled over. The guard looked up at Noctis and hissed scornfully.
Again, the reptilian rushed at Noctis, though now he was swinging large arc. Noctis noticed that this was the Djem So form and quickly changed his stance to Sokan. Diligently, the two parried each other's attacks. Though both of them were swift and fast, Noctis noticed that with every swing, the guard became slower, though it be unnoticable to the untrained eye. With this information, Noctis took it to his advantage and let the reptilian swing all he wants as Noctis merely blocked, defelct, or dodge his attacked.
As the duel progressed, the reptilian's speed dramatically declined. Noctis, who switched to Soresu in the moment he saw the reptilian's flaw, was still up and running. It was his turn to attack. The reptile was tired and is now an easy target. Changing stances again, Noctis rushed at the reptile now. His saber was at the opposite side and swung a low arc, aiming for his knees. The reptile blocked, but didn't see that Noctis threw a dagger afterwards. The dagger got the reptilian guard on his left shoulder. He quickly back flipped to gain some space between the two.

"You have become slow, reptilian." Noctis said undearneath his hood. It was weird however that both of them still had their hoods on while fighting intensely. "I will ask you one more time, give me the holocron of Darth Belial and I might spare your life." The reptilian smiled and hissed at the same time while holding onto his wound. "For an apprentice you are quite skilled. However, if you think I slowed down because of this wound, you are mistaken. It is you who will be dead in moments and I will continue to wait for my master's arrival to reclaim this Jedi filled galaxy."
Noctis grinned within his hood. "You are a fool, Guard. You are already death and you don't even know it. That dagger I threw at you, it had poison on it's tip. As your body starts to numb you will feel it, then in a few short seconds you're dead and I have the holocron. Either way, I win."
This did not make the reptilian happy. One, it may just be a mind trick and Noctis could just be biding his time, or two, it's real, but he didn't want to believe it and would die protecting his Master's last memories. "Than I shall die with it!" The reptilian took the holocron out and by contracting his mouth, he swallowed it. This totally surprised Noctis and was disgusted by it as well. The guard then held his saber once more and rushed at the Sith Apprentice. However, with each step, he got slower and slower until he was frozen. He had only one foot placed on the ground and another in the air. His eyes, though still able to move, were looking directly to Noctis.
"I lied, it wasn't poison, but a paralzying powder." Noctis walked calmly to the last guard. He was looking all around his body to look for where the holocron may be at this point of digestion. Figuring the location, Darth Noctis activated his ligthsaber. Slowly, he gutted the reptilian. Through his eyes closing and opening rapidly, Noctis knew he was in pain."Good, that is where I want you to be guard. I want you to feel pain as I did. Yes you may not have done anything to me, but my pain is to be shared with everyone. Savor it guard, for I will keep you alive only for the purpose of torture. That is my entertainment. However, if you wish for you death as of now, blink three times." As he said this, Noctis slit open his chest cavity and saw his heart continuing to pump. Using Force Healing techniques, he kept the heart pumping.
The reptilian blinked three times, asking fo the timely death. A smile crept up Noctis' face. Swiftly, he decaptitated the reptile, his head rolling off to Darth Belial's desk. The body went limp and fell to the ground. Noctis worked quickly, taking the holocron out of the reptile guard's body. There it was, his mission was complete. Now the last thing to do was open it, hear what it has to say and finally find Darth Belial. The first part of Phase one was almost complete. Darth Noctis could not but anticipate to find Darth Belial's body.

As the holocron opened a blue image appeared in the room of a Devaronian in Sith robes. "I am Darth Belial supreme lord of the Sith. And if you are seeing this, then I congratulate you on your victory. I leave this message in hopes that you will join me in the unkown regions, where I have been waiting for the day I shall return to the galaxy and reclaim it for the Sith. So I beseech you to find Grand Moff Terak, he is the only one who knows the coordinates to my secret base of operations. If you manage to make it here alive, then we shall descuss things in more detail." The image of Belial then faded out and the holocron closed.

Darth Noctis watched the holocron tentatively. However, as the figure stated that Darth Noctis had to find Grand Moff Tarken before finding Belial, he became very upset. "You have to be kidding me. I spent this whole time looking for him and he leaves it to a non-force adept? He is more reckless than I thought. Darth Noctis was there in silence for minutes, trying to think of what to do next. For sure, Darth Wrath would have his head wence he came back alone. No, that is not a path Noctis can take. He MUST find Belial and take him back. But to find Grand Moff Tarken first, that would be a hassle. He would need to lay low. He had to find a way to do it as well. "No matter, I wil find him nonetheless. I must use up all my resources if I must."
Angry, Darth Noctis took the holocron with him to use as evidence once he found Grand Moff Tarken. He left the chambers swiftly by pushing the door away from him. His droid had waited, yet he seemed surprised that his master was still alive. "Come, we must find this Grand Moff Tarken before we get to Belial." "But aren't all the imperial remnants destroyed?" The droid asked through the datapad. "Only those who chose to fight against the Vong, as planned by our Dark Lord [Darth Wrath]. Some, like this Grand Moff Tarken, since Darth Belial mentioned him, he must be real loyal to him and would know not to use his fleet to fend off the Vong. I can sense that he is alive."

"And what about Darth Wrath? Surely you cannot come back to Mustafar and ask him for help?" "You know as well as I that that could be suicide. No, instead I will use my resources and go to Coruscant." The droid was confused. "Why Coruscant?" He asked as he placed himself into where he needed to be. "My old Master does not know I have become Sith once again. I will use their archives to find him. Ironically, they wouldn't be knowing that they are helping a Sith Lord." "You mean Sith Apprentice..." Darth Noctis sat in the cockpit and took off his breather device. He smiled at the droid's correction of his last sentence. "I guess Apren will have to make an appearance once again. Heh, I wonder how my cousin is doing..." The ship blasted off faster than it did landing a few hours ago. Soon they were in space once again. "2X set a coordinates to Coruscant. It's time to go home." With that, the dark apprentice smirked as his starfighter left the abadon haul of one of the most powerful Dark Lords of the Sith and is on his way to greet and use an old friend.

The ship came out of hyperspace and the lights died out.The ships speed was decreced as it drifted into the debry field that once made up a Fleet.The Jedi had never been to this battle but he was present at others most evacurations during the Vong's attacks and then towards the end of it he ecountered a number of them in combat.Sith's he'd also fought before but there wasn't many of them then.The ships computer was running a search for the missing droids and weither they were still activated or destroyed he did not know.
Slowly the ship approached a larger haul and it seemed to be intacted still.Korso didn't sence any life forms and neither did the ship but perhaps there is still other things alive.He set a course for the most promising bay then left the cockpit.He put his leather breastplate on then hooked the sides to tighten it.The jacket was removed but the long sleeve rough leather shirt was still on but he also took some gauntlets that covered his finders and thumb along with his hands.Then took a eviromental mask and special googles that should pick up small energy sources.Korso then openned the weapons locker and took a Scatter rifle out.sliding energy cells into the chamber it was armed then fter he felt the ship land he put the mask on then got to the ramp.
The ramp lowered as he stepped down then the ship basically turn its self off as the ramp was withdrewed.The Jedi's vision would make up the the lack of light and slowly after he had checked the bay he entered into the hatch and further into the ships haul.He peered down at the gauntlet which did have a some readings that indicated some oxygen levels but he was a ways from them no matter the mask would supply him till he reached that section.

The device lead the Jedi down a few hallways till he finally reached the section with oxygen.Korso removed the mask below his chin and raised the goggles over his forhead.He looked around then desided the best place would be the officors quarters so he'd need to find a computer with the scematic.The best spot to check would be the Bridge and from what he saw from the approach it may still be intacked.Turning he took a hallway that lead to the main corridor then onward to the Bridge.
