Behind Enemy Lines (Day Two)

[Jaden_Starchaser]

As the rain fell on the battlefield it was a perfect camouflage to mask the tears that were falling down Jaden's cheeks. He could hear the shout of orders to find and kill any remaining Republic survivors, but at this point in time he couldn't care. His brother, the man he looked up to most, was dead. It didn't matter to him that Duncan was his brother by adoption. To him he was blood and now he was gone. He remembered as he saw him be used as a battering ram through a building her heard a voice, a woman's voice. She spoke to him in whispers, her voice soft and comforting. She encouraged him to make the Jedi Master suffer. To end his life slowly and painfully. It was tempting to do what she asked. It would be exactly what he deserved for ending the life of his brother.

He remembered the anger that was boiling underneath the calm that he was trained to have as he was being pushed back on the defensive. The voice was calling to him again. Telling him to stop suppressing the Force and strike out with it. A part wanted him to do so very badly. As he laid on the ground waiting for the Master's killing blow he closed his eyes and allowed himself to accept his coming death. He would become one with the Force along with his brother.

After Trysta saved him and went on the offensive against the Master he knew he needed to back her up. He wasn't gonna lose someone else that he cared for. He took the sledgehammer and moved to try and find an opportune moment to join in the fight. As he saw the master about to break Trysta in half against the cannon he heard the voice again. This time; however, it wasn't the soft and comforting voice that whispered in his ear. This voice was warped and twisted by anger and malice as it ordered him to beat him to death. He knew if he did his fall would be all but guaranteed. He opened himself to the Force in that moment, basking in it's calmness and tranquility as it focused his mind. He knew then what he had to do. He wasn't going to sit idly nor would he give in to his anger. He then took the sledgehammer and he swung it against the Master's head. The force actually brought him to a knee and spun the Master around to face him. He saw the damage he had done and looked into the man's eyes...and then saw as his head severed from his body.

Jaden shakily got up and strode towards Trysta. He fell to his knees in front of her and took her into his arms.
