Play Testers Wanted Pt. 15

My HUD dinged to alert me that my meters were back in the green and the obelisk crumbled revealed more lightsaber components. I got up and collected them. My HUD chimed again announcing a special event beginning in one hour. There were apologies but due to scheduling conflicts the Children's Cancer Event was starting soon. Well, it was for a good cause. I took out the ancient Sith blade and prepared to tear through the last challenges. Sword in hand I exited through the open portal the Dashade had entered through. The rest was a blur. I teleported beyond traps and using enhanced Force strikes to cut down my enemies. I collected the rest of the components and in some cases earned a few of those single ability holocrons.

Gasping and covered in blood I knelt next to the remnants of the last obelisk. I assembled the lightsaber and activated it for the first time. The strange blade hummed and crackled. The aura of the weapon a deep crimson while the core was the void itself. I deactivated the weapon and clipped it to my belt. I checked my HUD and had just enough time to reach the rendezvous point and meet the winner of the event. Normally I would have been ticked off, but this was to help children. I was irked to have to rush the last portion of the quest, but it evaporated as I looked forward to meet the winner of the contest. I had five minutes to spare and found my inventory no longer greyed out. I stripped down, went to a small waterfall that might be a source for the caves below. I washed the blood and gore from my skin and conjured a wind to dry off.

"What to wear?" I muttered aloud and heard a cough behind me. I turned to face the winner of the contest. She was of average height and her race hidden under her Sith uniform, robes, and mask. The mask was an elegant battle mask tied in design to the robes she wore. I did like the rubies adorning it giving her an elegant look. "Congratulations on your generosity and those you will aid with it."

"Anything to spend time with you. I am your humble student Lord." She said in the sultriest voice I had heard in a long time. The Devs had done a great job this time. She looked down and I realized I was still naked. I dug into my inventory and slipped into the dark uniform and robes Nightwind had given me after I graduated. That would do for now.

"Let go fuck some shit up!" I declared as a portal opened, and I gestured for her to go ahead. She rubbed her hands together and strode through the gateway. I followed wondering how nice her ass was under those robes. The planet beyond was full of lush vegetation and the umbral canopy of a massive forest. Bioluminescent fungi and insects broke up the shadows and created a faerie like atmosphere. I swapped out the lightsaber I had crafted on Korriban for the Darksaber. She had come to fight alongside Ghostfire after all. I slipped on my iconic mask to finish the look. It was only fitting after all. A sudden swelling of Dark Side energy alerted me that we were not alone.

"I feel it too." My companion whispered. "Who?"

"Me, you selfish bitch!" A sensuous female voice called out from the shadows. I saw movement as the striking feminine figure stepped out in front of one of the huge glowing fungi. I knew her instantly, a Lethan Twi'lek, with her scarlet skin and tribal tattoos covering her body.

"Talon?" I asked and she nodded. I could not help but smile seeing her clad in the skimpy black sports bra, ornate fingerless gloves, and a narrow black loincloth that barely hid her groin and ass. Her hips were on display showing off most of her tattoos and do not forget those skin hugging fuck me boots that barely topped her knees. Her lekku, or head tails, twitched and shifted noticeably.

"Why the fuck are you here?" My companion snapped. "I paid..."

"Winter Chorubinth, how cute," Talon sneered. "I matched you and dropped five hundred K for this avatar and her skills."

"Ladies, we have a quest to complete. Let us be professional and murder to death our enemies and claim our prize." I suggested and they agreed, if reluctantly. Each woman took a side and flanked me as we crept towards our destination. I tried to discover which planet we had been sent to. The lush vegetation and the barely visible constellations were of little help. As we reached a road, I felt it, a weak but steady sense of the Light Side. I could use Force cloak, but could they? "Can you diminish your aura?" I asked them.

"I can." Talon replied after a brief delay. I glanced at her and picked out differences from the avatar that piloted my ship on this side of things. Her eyes were angled and narrower giving her a sexier and more sinister appearance. Her mouth was narrower with distinctly poutier lips. I could not help but imagine them wrapped around my erection. Winter was still a complete mystery and I anticipated seeing her unmasked.

"I can as well," Winter added. "Our enemy, the Jedi, are close."

"Yes." I informed them as I activated Force cloak. We moved slowly and I reached out passively for any signs of the Force or security measures. Our sole task was to infiltrate and steal a box of Kaiburr crystals. We followed the road and came across what appeared to be an ancient stone wall blocking off the only easy way into the valley beyond. I directed us north towards the worst terrain. It was strewn with massive boulders and a bitch to navigate.

"Worth it," Winter cursed as we slowly gained altitude.

"They will never see us coming," Talon added good naturedly.

It was long after nightfall before we breeched the top of the hill. A hill that turned out to be the base of a mountain cliff. Seriously?! Fuck this noise! I growled internally.

"Listen," I said addressing them. "I do not know about you, but I am not climbing that damn cliff. Give me a little bit, meditate and recharge while I work a little Sith sorcery."

They tried and failed to meditate. Instead they watched intently as I reached out gently to manipulate the weather. The clouds were already there so inspiring rain was easy. Talon squealed as the warm rain caused her skimpy uniform to cling to her like a second skin. Her nipples and naughty bits were clearly on display. I did not apologize. She looked amazing! The rumble of thunder echoed across the mountain range. The first flash of lightning struck close but did not present a real danger.

"Now what?" Talon asked licking her lips.

"This!" I stated as I used the naturally occurring lightning to hide my unnatural teleportation to the top of the cliff. I scouted around and found no immediate threats. The next rumble of thunder and I teleported the pair to join me. They were giddy from the experience but with a warning gesture they calmed themselves and joined me as we topped the rise and spied the Jedi encampment for the first time.

"Well fuck, that is not a small camp..." Thorn cursed.

"It is an entire academy!" Winter finished.

"This keeps getting better and better." I laughed. "More enemies to defeat." I fought the urge to blurt out, 'think of all those experience points'. "Let us skirt the academy for now and observe. We need to scout around and find an entry point."

"I agree," Talon responded, and Winter simply nodded. "If we are lucky, we can take out any guards or patrols they send out."

"No, if we kill them and they fail to return they will be missed." I stated and she reluctantly agreed. "Look then kill. Winter?"

"I am confused. I know we are grossly outnumbered but why treading so lightly Master?" Winter asked.

"I will try and explain my point of view. It is true the Sith draw their power from the Dark Side. We gather our strength from rage, fear, and passion. To grow incredibly powerful, we must control and harness our abilities. Look at this way, imagine you are standing within the center of a fire. When you need to act the door opens and a burst of air creates a backdraft of fury that roars to life and engulfs our enemies. I hope that helps." I explained.

"Backdraft," Thorn mused. "I like the analogy."

"Let us be shadows then," Winter declared. "Until we are an inferno."

We scouted the perimeter of the Jedi Academy. They were surprisingly lackadaisical about security relying on a few droids and a series of force fields. I decided to abandon my robes and switched to those given to me by my Rakatan master. It felt more appropriate to carry the moniker of Darth Valakhor for this mission. Once we had finished our circuit of the exterior of the encampment, I puzzled out our best insertion point.

"Let us rest. Meditate. We strike at sunset." I dictated.

I spent the time utilizing my portable worktable to upgrade the Darksaber. Once it was done, I could use the Ghost Blade technique to its fullest. I was eager to see the look of shock on the Jedi I faced when they fell to the cunning wisdom of Exar Kun.

"You are smiling," Thorn purred in my ear as she knelt behind me and molded her body to mine.

"You are not meditating." I replied.

"I cannot focus when you are so close," she cooed. "Are we far enough from the Jedi to train in hand to hand combat?"

"I knew it!" Winter hissed. "You just could not keep your paws off him!"

"Why are you here then?" Talon fired back without moving.

"I saw him first!" Winter snarled. The Dark Side began to rise, and if I did not intervene soon our position would be revealed.

"Enough!" I snapped playfully. "Do I have to treat you like teenagers?" I asked as I tapped into the Realm of Shadows and bound and gagged both hand, foot, and mouth. Winter lost her balance and softly toppled to the ground. Talon found herself completely immovable as her arms were suddenly behind her back and secured as were her ankles. "Blissful silence." I muttered. "Let me finish this delicate task and then I will pound both of you into merciful ecstasy."

"MMMMHMMMM!" Winter moaned behind her gag.

"MMMMHHHMMMM!!" Talon agreed.

I was nearly done but they did not need to know that. I pulled down my HUD and discovered that our current quest had changed once we discovered the Jedi had an entire academy here. It was labeled 'What Lies Beneath'. Interesting. My quest on Korriban was mostly done. I could return later and finish the boss battle. I was happy about that. This was simply a detour of sorts. Since the ladies were all tied up, I had time to do a quick rebuild using the materials from the Korriban quest. Katria could use a new lightsaber. Thorn and Winter were getting anxious. I had a fix for that.

"Hush, let me introduce you to a friend of mine." I said taking Hentie the Tentacle Monster from my inventory. I held him up and they made muffled happy noises. "Go get 'em boy." I directed and Hentie launched himself at the pair. I tried to ignore the rude wet sounds coming from behind me and failed. I smiled knowing they were having a good time.

"Ding! Your Tentacle Monster has leveled up! Congratulations!"

"No shit," I laughed and pulled down my HUD. I swiped over to his screen. "Holy crap bud, you have five levels to improve. I am so sorry."

When did pets get skills and talents? I needed to start reading the update notices more carefully. Let us see what you can get.

"Secrete aphrodisiac. Improved seduction. Hypnotic gaze. Improved stealth. Penetrating sneak attack." I listed off some of them. "You get five. Like father like tentacle monster." He went from your typical minor eldritch horror to a stealthy beast with lots of surprises. "Upgrade complete."

The girl's noises got louder and more intense. I looked over my shoulder and grinned. You get what you paid for. Winter was on her back having every orifice violated. Her mask was next to her and I stared at her quasi albino coloring. Her hair and skin were the color of milk. Her eyes, lips, tongue, nipples, and labia were a bright blue. I looked up her race and discovered she was an Arkanian Offshoot. She was putting that long blue tongue of hers to good work.

"That's my girl." I whispered.

Darth Talon was being held aloft, something Hentie did not have the strength to do before his upgrade. Four of his tentacles supported her as the others penetrated her available openings. Hentie's happiness rating was through the roof and our bonding was better than ever. The ooze surrounding his tentacles kept the ladies in a constant state of heightened arousal until his stamina meter dropped to a certain level.

"Enjoy, he has a while before he runs out of gas." I informed them.

I returned to my minor project and looked through the materials I had on hand. I wanted this to be an elegant weapon and stand out. Katria was going to have a blast with this once I was finished.

"Mambien?" I muttered as first Winter then Thorn cried out as one orgasm blurred into another. "I am so proud of him." The portable workbench was able to preview a casing using the rare alloy. "Ooh! Pretty! Yep, that is perfect. Now, what can I use for an inlay? How about... ooh, Orhan Marble..." I continued to talk to myself as I crafted the outer housing of the new weapon.

The body of it was made of scintillating golden Mambien alloy. I cut slots for the inlay of the gorgeous thin sliced marble. To finish off the look I scanned the various fonts and glyphs available for scrollwork to finish the look. I reached the last font and decided to use it. They were elegant and had that unique alien style I was looking for. They were elongated ovals with geometric designs inside of them. They reminded me a little of Egyptian cartouches. They gave the weapon a distinctive appearance. Since Katria would be using it I added final touches to reflect her feline nature. I etched a faint stripe pattern on the casing, then added a claw design to one end and fangs to the other to personalize it even more.

"Name, it needs a name." I growled as I triggered the virtual weapon and stared. The rare Kaiburr crystals created an unusual blade. It had a black core with a blood red aura. The blade clashed with the bright casing. I was sure it would take an enemy off guard. I finished crafting the weapon as I pondered its moniker. I was nearly done when it came to me. I used the glyphs to name it. "Mornar," I declared. "Black Fire." The length of the weapon was standard for a single bladed lightsaber, but it possessed two beam emitters along with the mechanisms to alter the blades. I finished it and placed it immediately into my inventory. Its premier would have to wait until later.

"Now. What I am going to do with the two of you?" I growled as I shut down the worktable and turned my undivided attention to the ladies. "Aw, would you look at that." I said as I took images of the two women cuddled next to an exhausted tentacle monster. I returned him to my inventory to let him rest. "I am impressed. They wore him down to dark yellow almost red." I gathered up their damaged uniforms and robes and as they slept, I repaired them. Once they were fixed, I cleaned them and folded them neatly. I picked up Winter's mask and set it atop her clothing. I lightly brushed the hair from her ear and noticed its almost elfin shape. They were delicate and came to a prominent point.

I stood and practiced the eighth lightsaber form and since they still slept, I had time to perform the challenging technique passed onto me by Exar Kun. As I finished that I felt a raw source of Force energy. I followed the pull to a waterfall. Perfect. I returned to the ladies and they were just waking up. I helped them to their feet and guided them to the nearby mountain waterfall. They washed off the signs of their encounter with Hentie and I directed them to close their eyes and recharge their energies under the ice-cold torrent from above. I let the pounding water massage my tired muscles and took in the cleansing energy it provided.

"Your friend took the edge off Master," Winter giggled. "But that does not leave you off the hook." She declared. I got a better look at her. Hell, even her areolas were an icy blue color. I licked my lips as she continued to chat. "Another first for today," Winter purred playfully as she pulled her ass cheeks apart revealing her dark blue sphincter. "He did a real number on me."

"I take it you have never," Thorn giggled. "Yeah, me too, I might after this if I can find two men I can trust." Thorn made a show of cupping her breasts to show them off. They were a bit bigger than Winter's and had brick red areolas and nipples.

"You actually wore out Hentie. Damn impressive ladies." I praised them.

Winter's expression changed suddenly, and her eyes snapped shut as if listening for something. "Can't you feel it?!" I reached out and felt the low thrumming pulse. I had been so busy focusing on the water and their naked beauty that I had gotten lazy.

"Score one for Winter," I whispered.

"I feel it too, this is amazing!" Thorn declared. "What is it?"

"I believe something is waking up," I informed them. "The pulse is getting stronger. We go, now!"

"But it is day, how can we hide under these conditions... Master?!" Thorn asked.

"I will cloak us, stick close and speak only if it is absolutely necessary." I directed them.

We dressed and armored up. I drew once more on the shadows and cloaked us. I directed our movement so that we were shadows moving amongst shadows. What were the Jedi up to? I began wondering if the academy was simply a front for something else. It took an hour to get to the perimeter of the cluster of buildings. I checked my map to see who was housed and where. We would avoid the younglings as much as possible. Sure, I was playing a cold blooded Sith but personally I did not savor killing kids even in a game environment. One of the buildings was marked storage but it was larger than I would expect it to be. The main quest marker was pinned to it.

"Storage." I whispered and the ladies nodded.

This was the most dangerous part of our path so far. There were no shadows to hide among and I would have to cloud the minds of students and teachers alike until we found refuge on the near side of the storage facility. I sang the Song of Revelation barely above a whisper to locate any Jedi or droids along our path. We were in the clear. I guided them in the shortest of paths between the female's dormitory and that of one of the three dojos marked on the map. This was too damn easy. Barely had the thought formed when the double doors of the dormitory swung open and nine female students and a woman wearing master rank robes exited. The three of us froze. I cleared my mind. The hint of fear would be enough for the master to sense our presence.

"Master, is something wrong?" A gorgeous Togruta padawan asked. She was of the same race as Ahsoka Tano, but her coloring was different. Her head tails and facial markings tended towards light reds and persimmon.

"For just a moment I thought I felt a chill of the Dark Side." The human female declared.

"Could it be from the dig site Master?" An albino Twi'lek followed up.

Dig site? I wondered what they were delving into. I looked at the feet of the Jedi Master to keep from drawing unwanted attention. I did hear the softest of creaks from her double-bladed lightsaber on her hip. It was the standard length for such a weapon and crafted with the typical simplistic design the monastic Jedi tend towards. Instead of trying to mind fuck a Jedi Master, a dangerous attempt, I went for misdirection. If it worked, and it was a big if, they would be drawn off long enough to get into the supply building. I was about to use the Force to create a tiny spike of Dark Side energy when I changed my mind. Kaia-Jutsu is not Force based. I could use it to lure them off without them sensing a thing.

I sang softly using the Song of Scattering Light. It was one of the first I learned and rarely utilized it anymore. I imagined movement near the guy's dormitory. The keen senses of the master caught it and ordered her students to be cautious as she used Force speed to cross the distance in a matter of seconds. Her students were so enthralled with her swiftness we easily slipped into the shadow of the girl's dorm. We caught our breath after being so close to being discovered. We had plenty of cover to reach the storage facility and see what the Jedi were up to. The equipment they possessed would give us a clue to their activity here. If we found the box of Kaiburr crystals fine, but I was more intrigued by this hidden dig site.
