Chapter 7: Weakness
-13 hours since take offDozkai shifts uncomfortably in his seat trying to get some feeling back into his leg unsuccessful he sighs " you'd think they could have given us some leg room or some room to stand for a bit" he mumbles to himself
" That would defeat the point wouldn’t it? " the Twi'leck woman says angrily " after all if we crack over this small annoyance how do we expect to be Sith" she finishes with a nasty stare that says quite clearly what she thinks of him
Dozkai rubs his face and thinks over some of the things in Xana's report about the trials. " It is apparent that murder is a very real part of the trials, as is the skill to avoid being caught, as is betrayal though that isn't a surprise so much as just how secretive the trials are in general. All we know for sure is what is in the handbook they sent and the death rate is 52% and only 10 will take a place at the academe as apprentices as direct results of the trials themselves " he hears her voice going over it for the n'th time
" thousands of hopefuls and only 10 spots to take " he thinks as he shifts again and looks around at the other hopefuls " some of them are already making alliances against those they see as to strong to beat alone...." He studies each person in his view " doesn’t look like to many will be a challenge...at least alone. The guy in the corner could be a threat he is to calm. The bith is strange no idea what kind of tricks he might know . And the deveronian a few seats down seems to have a way with manipulating people from the way the twi'leck next to him is acting. Still best not take any chances." His thoughts going over different possibilities even as he stifles a yawn.
Just then the ship shudders as it comes out of hyperspace " we will be landing in a few seconds don't be alarmed when the ship rattles there is a storm at the landing zone " the comlink blares out causing several people to jump. True enough the ship soon starts to shake and rattle sometimes pitching to one side or the other rather violently causing a few of the people to almost fall out of their seats. Two minutes pass in the rough turbulence before the ship came to a stop " welcome to Thora " the pilots voice comes over the com again just as the loading ramp starts to open.
Dozkai steps out of the ship to find that he and the other hopefuls where in a small clearing in what looks to be a massive jungle but before he could get a good feel for where they were a hologram of a thin hateful looking man flares to life " welcome 'hopefuls' don't get to comfortable the trails start here and if two thirds of you make it through the first test I'll be impressed. the test is simple-" the hologram changes into a map "- you must get from the landing area to the compound -" the map highlights both spots on the map before switching back to the man "- simple hmm? you'd be wrong because the jungle around you is filled with some of the most aggressive and deadly predators in the galaxy. oh and you have one day to reach the compound if you fail then you'll be on your own till after the trails have finished then we'll be sure to give you a proper funeral or if we can't find your corpse a memorial " he finishes with an evil grin just before the hologram shuts off
Hopefuls scatter like jawa's in a sand storm Dozkai looks closer at the holo emitter and finds a trapdoor with datapads loaded with a map of the area and a directional indicator a few others that lagged behind
see this and take one for themselves. Dozkai glances over the map trying to spot a path or something but the map isn't much help with that so he takes off in the general direction of the compound.
Hours pass as he makes his way through the jungle undergrowth cutting vines and limbs away with his vibro knife to pass the thicker areas. He stops for a moment and looks at the map figuring he has made great progress he sits down against a tree to rest for a few minutes. When he stands to continue he notices something above him move and he freezes. Scanning the tree limbs over head he see's nothing for several seconds. When he decides he must have imagined it and looks away the creature attacks! A maalraa leaps from behind the limb it was hiding in and knocks Dozkai off his feet. Dozkai rolls onto his knees drawing his blaster in one hand and his knife in the other only to be hit hard in the chest as the cat creature tackles him to the ground again and sending his weapons flying from his grasp. the maalraa leaps on top of him with its teeth gnashing inches from his throat all that is holding it back is his arm braced against its chest Dozkai reaches for his knife that is just a few inches out of his reach when suddenly the sound of blaster fire rings out and the cat falls limp.
" You ok?" someone calls out of the brush
" Yeah bastard just caught me off guard " Dozkai responds as he rolls the maalraa off his chest
" A dangerous mistake friend " A human woman in heavy armor says as she walks out of the thick brush and into sight " names Orona but my clan calls me one-shot " she says as she sits her blaster rifle against a tree
" clan? I didn't know there was anyone on this planet except the hopefuls and the trial administrators" Dozkai says as he gathers his weapons
Orona laughs " I'm a Mandolarian specifically of clan Rook. My squad and I are out here on survival exercises. We didn’t know the sith had an interest in the planet.... you said something about trials?" She asks
" I'm not sure if its something I can just tell you...even if you helped me out a moment ago" he responds cautiously
She shrugs " ok then no skin off my back. Just curious is all " she picks up her blaster and starts to walk off
Suddenly Dozkai remembers the second condition for taking his fathers power base is to have a descent one of his own " wait a moment- " Orona turns to face him "- you said your squad is here on planet right?" He asks and Orona nods " would you be interested in a partnership of sorts?" He asks
" Depends on the goal and the rewards " she says carefully
" The goal is simple I'll give you targets you take them out any way you see fit and in return you get practice against force sensitives with some skill and a small bounty for each. And if it works out then when I'm in a higher seat of power there will be more jobs like it for you and your clan" he says coolly
Orona thinks for a moment " one condition....we can choose whether to take the contract or not on a case by case basis. " she says her tone making it clear she won't budge on this
" Deal. Provide me with a comlink frequency and I'll contact you when I have a target " he says holding his hand out to seal the deal
Orona shakes his hand and hands him a data chip with her frequency " I look forward to the hunt you promise " she says before melting away into the thick under brush of the jungle
Dozkai takes note of his bearing and continues the trek to the compound this time keeping an eye on the trees as well as around him on the ground.
-Hours later what little light has faded to nothing
Dozkai pushes through the brush and finds himself in a large clearing with small lights in the distance. He breaks into a sprint covering the distance in just a couple of minutes when he nears the lights he sees that they are coming from the compound or at least what must be the compound. He slows to a walk as he looks closely at the building a few yards in front of him, It's small only a few meters across, before he can even question were the hopefuls would go spot lights blaze to life and drown him in light.
" ah another 'hopeful' manages to find the compound...I'm surprised three of you have made it before the dawn " the voice of the man from the hologram cuts through the night air " well don't just stand there come inside. The rest still have ten more hours ." He says as Dozkai starts to get his sight back from the sudden flood of light
Dozkai enters the small building and finds it is only an entrance, the main complex being under ground, with only an office and two small rooms one with a few beds the other seems to be a kitchen.
" If your hungry you may eat in there other wise you may sleep in there " the thin man points out the rooms " tomorrow I'll unlock the compound fully once the rest of the 'hopefuls' arrive " he says with disdain
" very well....what should I address you as? " Dozkai asks
" Overseer or Keeper " the Overseer says coldly
Dozkai nods and finds a bed near the door and puts his blaster under the pillow and his knife just under the mattress before laying down.
-the night passes quietly
Dozkai wakes when a trooper comes into the room and yells out that its time to be up. As the trooper leaves Dozkai hears grumbling from the other two that made in in last night. He sits up and sees the Twi'leck he was sitting next to on the ship and the Devironian that was a few seats ahead.
" Ugh!! They have troopers involved in sith training?!? " the Devironian protests
" We aren't in training yet idiot " the Twi'leck says hotly
Dozkai grabs his gear and stands up " Oh so someone else made it? " the Devironian smiles " my name is Frax " he offers his hand to Dozkai who just stares at him " um yeah " Frax acwardly lowers his hand
Before anything else can be said the intercom crackles to life " attention Hopefuls there is only two hours left till the first test is over. For those that have made it ahead of time make your way to the main
yard " the intercom dies and judging from the echo the message was sent out over a loudspeaker as well. The three of them walk out to the yard and see that the area around the compound isn't as large as they thought only about 60 meters around with a narrow strip to the front that goes a bit farther.
" So this is home for now." Dozkai thought to himself as he looked over the meager clearing " I hope they don’t waste time " he said out loud
"they won't " the twi'leck girl said " the overseer doesn’t like us hopefuls...I suspect a lot will die quickly the rest will be eliminated in some form or other then when the last of us claim victory he will go back to-" she gets interrupted
" -killing spies and dissidents" the overseer interrupts " your clever Tenala but mind your place.
" Y..Yes overseer! " she squeaks losing her cold facade
over the next hour a little over a hundred Hopefuls find the compound a few dozen more after them " a pitty less than half this time " the overseer says to himself " begin the countdown " he says into a comlink and a loud siren sounds off followed by a large holo display above the compound counting down the last few minutes
The overseer paces in front of the hopefuls as the last minute starts ticking away " to those that have made it congratulations...to the three that got here first-" he indicates Dozkai and the others "- you have earned a special privilege you will have private rooms while the rest will share a common bunk room. However this can change quickly for it is also up for grabs should you be challenged by your less fortunate comrades and loose then they earn the privilege and you will be dismissed...if you survive that is " he finishes with a wicked smirk " but before they start with the challenges would any of you like to demonstrate your power as a deterrent?" He asks
Frax steps forward with a cocky grin " you-" he points out a nice looking human girl " step forward " he orders and the human girl does so with a look of defiance on her face " take off your clothes and present yourself to me " he orders the crowd and the woman laugh " I said STRIP" he repeats the order as he reaches out with the force and snaps her right wrist. She cries out in pain grabbing her wrist " last chance girl " he says with menace in his voice.
The girl quickly grabs her belt and starts to undo then moves to undo her shirt as Frax laughs at her. Her eyes fill with tears as she starts to expose her supple breasts the crowd murmurs in the background even as she starts to slide her pants off
"good now present yourself to me " he commands
She begins to sob as she lays on the ground and opens her legs for him. He walks over to her while undoing his belt and lowering his pants enough to free his cock. He grabs her by the throat as he places his tip against her soft folds and tears flow freely from her eyes. She Cries out as he thrusts himself to the hilt in one motion. He bites her breast drawing blood before pounding his cock into her pussy relentlessly making her scream out in pain from the force of it she looks to the crowd for help but none move even the overseer just cocks an eyebrow at the display. After a few moments Frax pulls out covering the girl in cum
" Now you’re mine bitch " he declares as he fastens his belt
" Not quite Frax since she was weak she is now eliminated. Normally I'd just ship her out but since you claim her I'll let you decide her fate either kill her or ship her off world. Either way she will not stay here and will never become a sith" the overseer says in a half bored tone
Frax looks at the girl still weeping at his feet. He shrugs then with a slight gesture snaps her neck with the force.
