| Darth Bane: Rule of Two - Part 4 |
Page 4 of 5
After days of searching the Jedi Archives in disguise, Zannah finally discovers a document that details how to rid a host of the orbalisks without killing the host in the process! As she celebrates Darovit approaches her from behind. She turns and grabs him as he explains how he got to be there. She pulls him from the Archives, but not before copying some data she’ll need to help warn Bane that their secret may be exposed. When Farfalla and Johun are unable to find Darovit in the archives, they find a droid that informs them he left with someone named Rain. Johun recognizes the name and they follow their tracks and learn they have accessed records regarding the location of Tython, the birthplace of the Jedi. Farfalla tells Johun to find two other Masters and they head to find the Sith. On Hetton’s ship, Darovit tries to convice Zannah that being a Sith is not in her nature. She is unmoved and threatens to kill him if he doesn’t find a way to remove the orbalisks from Bane by the time they arrive at Tython. Secretly, though, she begins to wonder whether Bane will think the same thing. After several days of studying the Holocron, Bane finally comes across the information he had been desperately seeking over the years. The secret of Holocron construction was finally revealed. As he leaves the fortress, Zannah and Darovit arrive and although Zannah says she’s learned how to remove the orbalisks, Bane is having second thoughts about it now. Suddenly, a Jedi craft appears and heads towards them! Master Raskta, one of the greatest duelists of all time, pilots the ship in and they enter the fortress when Darovit is hiding with the Holocron. Four Jedi split up and attack Zannah and Bane with one, and Ithorian, staying behind to lead through meditation. Raskta and Farfalla take Bane and are surprised by his aggressive style and his impenetrable armor. Knowing they were outmatched, Farfalla calls for Johun to reinforce them. Sarro, a more advanced fighter focuses on Zannah. When the Ithorian’s meditation is broken, Sarro falters and she cuts him down. As Bane prepares to unleash lightening on the last Jedi, the fallen Ithorian grabs his leg and the lightening encases Bane in an orb of pain. Bane falls the ground and Zannah finishes the final Jedi on her own. Amazingly Bane is alive and she takes him, with Darovit, to the ship for medical attention. Unfortunately the orbalisks were dead and had already released toxins inside his body. She commands Darovit to keep him alive while she makes a course for Ambria and Caleb, the healer who had saved Bane before. When she finally reaches Caleb, who was hiding in a secret cellar, he refuses to help and has sent his daughter away to ensure she cannot be held against him as Bane did last time. As she looks over Bane’s body , Darovit again tries to lure her away from her Sith teachings and says he’s convinced Caleb to heal Bane but only if she calls the Jedi to come and arrest him. After weighing her options she decides to agree to the demands. After several days, Bane awakes and is disgusted with Zannah’s decision. He orders her to kill him and flee into the desert before the Jedi arrive. When a team of Jedi arrive they find Caleb hacked to pieces outside the tent. As they approach Darovit charges out and attacks them only to be easily killed. They find the lightsabers of Farfalla’s team and determine that Darovit must have been the Sith Lord and had gone mad from injury. They prepare to leave not knowing the Bane and Zannah are hiding in the secret cellar beneath their feet. On board their repaired ship, Bane awakes with a jolt and Zannah reveals her plan. Bane is pleased and she tells him that she will indeed kill Bane, but not until he has taught her all she needs to know. He approves. |
