Malak's Ruination

“So you have returned. And it seems with an old fool and a thief!” growled Darth Malak’s Force Ghost as he stood against Wes, Rusel, and Lord Oswall. “You shall rue the day you turned down my tutelage, boy!” announced Darth Malak before he lashed out with his lightsaber towards Wes. Lord Oswall parried the attack with his own lightsaber as Rusel lunged at Darth Malak, his weapon midswing. Rusel put all his power into the attack only for it to seemingly pass right through Darth Malak.

“Wha...” a confused Rusel started. “Why did my attack go right through him?! I know it hit!” a confused Rusel yelled.

“You fool! He’s a Force Ghost! Normal attacks don’t work on him!” chastised Lord Oswall. Rusel got angry and started swinging his warblade at Darth Malak, who merely laughed at the useless attacks. With Darth Malak’s attention turned to Rusel’s useless attacks, Wes saw his chance to strike. He focused the Force inside him before unleashing a powerful Force Lightning attack.

“Raaaargh!” yelled out both Darth Malak and Rusel, who had got caught up in the powerful discharge of electricity. Wes couldn’t stop the little curl of a smirk on his face as he watched his idiot classmate get shocked along with the Force Ghost threat.

Heh. Even in the middle of a battle against a common enemy, he attacks his rival. He truly is a Sith. Perhaps even the ability to be as great as Marka Ragnos or Naga Sadow thought Lord Oswall as he watched the attack unfold. This next generation of Sith shall lead us to great things.

“You will pay for that!” cried out Darth Malak as he shot his own Force Lightning at Wes. Lorde Oswall once again saved the acolyte from Malak’s attack by with his lightsaber, which easily absorbed the attack.

“Very good, acolyte. A few more powerful attacks like that and this Force Ghost will be no more,” determined Lord Oswall who rushed back to distract Darth Malak with his own attacks. Rusel, who had recovered from Wes’ attack, also launched his own offensive. The two choreographed their attacks so that Darth Malak couldn’t stay corporeal long enough to attack any of them.

Ok, Force Lightning did a good amount of damage against him. But even then, it didn’t seem to be enough to actually destroy his spirit. I need something strong in the Force that can completely disrupt his essence. Wes’ eyes scanned the room as he though of something to use to assist in destroying the vengeful spirit of the ancient Dark Lord of the Sith. Shit. Looks like I got no choice but to use that. Good thing Tal and I sketched down all the information we could from it. Wes said to himself as he decided on a plan of action.

Darth Malak had also taken it upon himself to scheme to take back control of this fight. With a powerful Force Push, he was able to send his two attackers flying back into two different walls.

“Lord Oswall, Rusel!” yelled out Wes as his two comrades were knocked out by the attack.

“Your friends are gone, and soon you will be too!” exclaimed Darth Malak as he charged at Wes. Thinking quickly, Wes reached out and summoned the weapons of both Lord Oswall and Rusel. The weapons reached Wes just in time to deflect Darth Malak’s first attack. In a fit of rage, Darth Malak unleashed an onslaught of attacks at the young Sith, who was forced to use every ounce of skill and power he had to be able to survive the flurry of attacks.

“Hahahahahahaha! You managed to survive that? Impressive,” Darth Malak complimented Wes, who was breathing heavily from the fight so far. “You would have done well as my apprentice. But alas, you chose to act against me. And for that, you must die!” declared the former Dark Lord of the Sith.

“Ha. Haha. Hahahahahahahahaha!” laughed Wes, to a very confused Darth Malak.

“Why are you laughing? You are about to die!” yelled the confused Sith Lord. Wes laughed on few another few seconds before his laughter died down.

“Well, you got into the position I needed you to be in with literally no trouble,” a smiling Wes told Darth Malak.

“What are babbling on about?” asked Darth Malak.

“I thought it would be much harder to get you to be near the Force Map. Thanks for making this far easier than it should have been!” Wes told his opponent. He then summoned every last ounce of the Force he could into himself. It was at this moment that Darth Malak put all the pieces together and realized what Wes was about to do to him.

“No! I will never allow you to do that!” he said as he lunged towards the young Sith. Wes watched as Darth Malak’s lightsaber got closer and closer to his face and then stopped less than an inch from his face.

“Now, Rusel, pull him back!” ordered Lord Oswall who, along with Rusel, had used the Force to stop Darth Malak’s attack and put him back next to the Star Map. “Now, Wes! Do it!” Wes did as he was told and unleashed his most powerful Force Lightning ever, directed at the Star Map.

The Star Map began to glow as the powerful Dark Side attack flowed into the Dark Side technology and began to glow. As Wes pumped more and more Force Lightning into the device, it began to set off arcs of lightning between its parts. With Darth Malak right next to it, these arcs passed through him, which caused him great agony. The three watched and hoped as the device began to shake. No matter how much Force Lightning Wes pumped into it, the Star Map refused to overload and explode as planned.

“I can’t… do it!” Wes said between struggled breaths.

“Hahaha! Looks like your plan has failed! Once your friends let me go, I’ll slaughter you all!” a crazed Darth Malak declared.

“No! You shall die, now!” said Lord Oswall. “Rusel, quickly, use Force Lightning on the Star Map with one hand!” Rusel nodded as he used what power he could spare to summon Force Lightning at the Star Map along with Lord Oswall.

The three Force Lightnings were enough to overload the Star Map. The device shook uncontrollable before it glowed brightly and exploded, sending a powerful wave of Dark Side Force energy in all directions. Darth Malak, being practically at the epicenter of the explosion, was instantly destroyed by the explosion. Wes, Rusel, and Lord Oswall, were encompassed in the explosion as it tore through the room and surrounding hallways.
