Chapter 8: Chapter 7: Sometimes plans change...
(Mysterious group's POV): The leader of the group asked one of the grunts: "This is the place that is noted on the map right?". The grunt nodded.
*Sigh* It is really different to infiltrate the temple without being seen. I hope it is worth it, they did promise quite a lot of money to finish this task.
Let's have a look inside and you three will set up an ambush nearby. While you two will keep watch to prevent others from approaching this place.
*Back to the time that Jaraen entered his brother's room*
(Jaraen's POV): I couldn't stop smirking at the thought that my brother would be pissed off at me for being in his room without his permission. As I looked around, I noticed that a lot of stuff was on the ground and that it almost seemed like someone went through it while we were away.
Strange, I do not remember there being something important in this shack.. Why would someone ransack this place? As I touched the items: *I tried to use my force ability*.
You might be wondering why I would do that. To elaborate, during our academy days I noticed that I am able to sense an echo of what happened by touching items. I consulted my brother and sister about this ability as I was not able to find anything in the books at the academy.
To my surprise, my brother knew exactly how my ability worked and how to train it. He called it force echo or psychometry. In a nutshell, it is an ability that allows me to acquire information about people or events associated with an object solely by touching it.
As I touched the stuff, I saw multiple hooded people ransacking the place. I was shocked as the Jedi temple is known for being closed off to the public. My gut feeling told me that something ominous was going on.
I heard some ruffling and a crack... *before all went black*
(Mysterious group leader's POV): That was a close call. How did this guy come here... This moron was lying about no one entering this place except for the owner. I will make sure that his daughter regrets his decision to lie to me.
You, make sure that he is tied up and kill him if he becomes a burden. We need to make sure that the target is eliminated today, as his powers are rising at an alarming rate. Our contractor mentioned that there will be a huge payment, if we managed to kill him and take his pendant back.
What are the two people on guard doing... They did not even alert us that someone was coming. As I walked outside I noticed that the two dozed off. I woke both of them up with a kick to the stomach.
As everything was set-up, we finally had some area coverage on each of our radars. The radar on my bracelet showed that someone was approaching. We hid ourselves in the shadows.
As our target got closer, we noticed that the fucker that messed with our plans slowly woke up and made some noises. My men tried to subdue him, but he made a sudden movement and that is when all went wrong..
(Kew'ilaä's POV): After that loud bang, I ran to the source of the sound. I noticed that the shack that I used as my room was gone.. It looked like it was blown up by an explosion and I saw around five people standing outside near the ruins that was my room.
I was confused and wary as these people were hiding their faces with hoods and they did not seem like the regular folk that were usually in the temple. Moreover, outsiders are prohibited from entering the temple, so this seems fishy.
I asked the people what was going on and why that room was blown to pieces. The one that seemed like the leader told me that they were looking for someone and that I should mind my own business.
As I moved closer, I saw something that I did not want to see. How can this be...
I blacked out and when I snapped out of it. I held my sister in my arms as she was sobbing, I needed to process what happened.... I am so sorry....
*Tears dropped down as I tried to recall what happened*
(Kanitsae's POV): As I saw the body of my brother Jaraen blown to pieces with only half of his face still intact. All the feelings from sadness, despair, powerlessness, and hopelessness came rushing at me at the same time. I was overwhelmed...
My other brother Kew'ilaä was still in a daze, but somehow he felt my despair and hugged me tight. He told me that all will be okay and that it was all his fault. He kept saying he was sorry and that this should not have happened.
And then it happened. The force connected our lifeforms and I saw what happened.
*Replay of what happened from Kew'ilaä's POV*
As I saw the lifeless body of my younger brother on the ground, I felt immense rage. The shady group of people tried to approach me. I unconsciously used the force, which made the whole group kneel down to me.
I used force lightning one of them and asked what had happened. The grunt was begging me to stop.. "Please... AGHHHH... sire, we... AGHHHHH... did not mean to... AGGHHHH"
*I kept using my lightning, just enough to burn his skin, but not too much to prevent him from losing his consciousness*
I told him to shut his mouth and only answer my questions. Okay, let's start little one, I used the force with my free arm to pull one of them towards me.
As I was holding him by his neck, I asked him what happened. He did not want to answer and told me that I could shove it up my ass. So I force drained his life force and fed it to my companion on my shoulder, who felt happy with the treat.
*Visually, it looked like his soul came out of his body and afterwards his lifeless body started to bleed from all the possible points. His body was slowly mummifying as it was losing all its liquids.*
All the others were shocked by the sheer brutality of my powers. I slowly approached the remaining four, while I kept using force lightning on one of them. As I got close to another one I pulled out my knife from my pocket.
My darker side took over and I started to cut up one of them, this one kept screaming like the one that was still being zapped by my force lightning. I used the force to keep both of them alive long past their normal ability. This is something I used to do when experimenting on animals. Unfortunately, both of them gave out in the end and I was down to two people.
*Sigh, why are these lifeforms so fragile.. was the first thing that came to mind*
The other two explained what happened and how they were supposed to kill me and that my brother had nothing to do with it. They told me that an anonymous source hired them for this job, but if I spared them then they would try to find out who was behind this. As they cried and pleaded for their lives, I saw that they defecated themselves. I felt disgusted by them.
*Unknown source: Father, these two are useless to keep around. Just force drain them and be done with it.*
And as the unknown source suggested, I forced drain both of them and fed my little companion again. It was so satisfied and fell asleep immediately.
Shortly after that I saw my sister arrive at the spot. I felt guilty for my brother's death, as I was their target. Why did someone want to eliminate me and why did he have to die? It is so unfair...
The following sentence kept repeating over and over again: "IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT!! YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!"
*From a vantage point*
(Hooded master's POV): *Sigh* well I guess we need a change of plans...
