Serpent Dawn (JK Leia Solo)

[Big Bad Naga]

OOC: This is closed to all others unless invited.

IC: "There is no death, there is Immortality."

Since becoming a Sith, Naga had recited the code over a thousand times in his head. That particular phrase forged itself deep in his mind. Everytime he woke up, those words whispered to him. The words haunted his twisted dreams, and taunted him.

Naga had learned of death all too well. His father died, his mother (whom he knew nothing of) died. His friends died. He'd seen comrades die. On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero. Naga knew one of his main objectives in life was to survive. He had managed to achieve it thus far. Naga had almost experienced death quite a few times. Some would call it luck that he survived. Naga didn't believe in luck, he believed in fate.If there was luck, Naga knew it was always against him. He believed fate had something planned for him.

~Coruscant-Imperial City~
~Setting: Daytime, humid weather, clear skies~

Dressed in a black robe, indicating he was a Force User, Naga trodded through the streets. Everywhere he looked, he saw evil. Barfights, killings, kidnappings, helpless victims. He could feel the evil around him. But there was always that little shining light that represented hope. It was like a thorn in his brain. Never really going away. This apparently drove him mad. He had to stop walking for a while. Naga slipped into an alleyway. He leaned on a wall and closed his eyes. He felt a familiar presence. One that he had felt before. A strong presence in the Force. Naga meditated on the presence for a moment until he had determined the person. It was indeed Jedi Master Leia Solo. An idea came to mind. Naga grinned, at the same time reaching into his robe.

The Sith walked out onto the streets holding a small metallic device. The device emitted a beeping sound every two seconds. A female human noticed it and let out a high pitched scream. Everyone turned to see Naga in the middle of the road, holding a thermal detonator. It was on dead man's switch, meaning if he let go, the surrounding area would be reduced to smouldering rubble. Naga sent out a message through the Force.

"Leia Solo, come and face me or I'll be forced to destroy everything around me including myself."

Naga knew she would come. It was a Jedi's duty to protect the innocent. He hoped it was soon, because patience was not his best virtue.

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**A lone petite Jedi Master, dressed in her traditional Jedi robe was walking down the streets of Coruscant, right in the heart of Monument Square.**

**Her brown cloak swayed as she walked briskly through the square, which was bustling with pedestrians.**

**A sudden cry was heard in the distance, Leia pulled back her hood to try and see what was going on. Within moments, a crowd of people came rushing towards the Jedi Master's direction in a pure frenzy. The Jedi Master moved her head side to side, trying to see around the crowd that went bustling past her.**

**Suddenly...The Jedi Master received a message through the force..one of pure evil...


"Leia Solo, come and face me or I'll be forced to destroy everything around me including myself."

**A sudden urgency fell over the Jedi Master as she channeled through the force the direction of the darkside user known as Big Bad Naga. Leia ran quickly through the crowd, stopping suddenly as she came up on the sith.**

**The Jedi Master's eyes narrowed at the sith. As she looked down at the thermal detonator in his hands. She never once blinked an eye, while taking her gaze back up from the detonator to the sith. Staying ever so calm as it was her demeanor**

**Leia calmly commanded to BBN**

"Deactivate that at once, Naga!! And leave the people of Coruscant alone!!"

"What is it you want Naga?!"

**Leia continued to stare at the sith waiting for his response**

[Big Bad Naga]

"JK Leia Solo, how nice of you to join me."

Naga de-activated the thermal detonator and threw it aside. He bellowed out a laugh and turned to face the Jedi.

"Putting this away will do nothing. The surrounding five miles are wrigged with explosives, destined to go off in exactly 40 minutes. That is, unless you defeat me in battle."

Naga grinned at her. His lightsaber flew into his hand. With a quick thumb motion his saber ignited with a snap hiss. He let out a growl and charged at Leia. A few feet away from her, he leapt into the air and slashed downwards.

"Let the games begin!"

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**Within a blink of an eye..the Jedi Master's saber flew into her hand..igniting it's magenta beam**

**As Naga leapt towards the Jedi with his blade coming down on her, Leia leapt towards the sith as well. A loud crackling of the two blades was heard as they met. Upon landing back on the ground..Leia put more pressure on her saber bringing both blades over Naga's head. Quickly she pulled up her leg and knee the sith in the gutt, while bring her free left hand up motioning it for force push, sending the buckled up sith flying backwards to the ground several meters away**

"I will not let you destroy this city. That is a promise, as I am a Jedi. If it is your destiny to perish by your foolishness so be it!"

**Leia looked on at Naga lying on the ground in the distance. Her hand continued to grip her saber tightly as she slowly made her way towards Naga**

[Big Bad Naga]

Naga on the floor, focused on the Dark Side. Failure was not an option. A peice of brick from an old building rose off the ground behind Leia. It flew straight toward her head. A hit would surely kill her. The Jedi Master turned around and barely avoided it. When she turned around again, Naga was standing up, foot in the air. He kicked Leia in the gut, and spun around with a roundhouse. The Jedi fell to the floor.

"The only foolish one is you JK Leia Solo," Naga growled.

He ran at her, and once again slashed his saber downwards, where she lay. The Dark Side powering him with each hit. By hurting him, this Jedi was actually fueling him. Naga smiled.

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**Leia quickly brought up her saber to met Naga, as he came up on her while she laid on the ground. Simultaneously the Jedi brought up her leg with force induce strength, right between Naga's legs, sending the foolish sith flying over her. The sith was propelled several meters away, he came crashing down on his back on to some wooden crates that laid on the streetwalk. All that could be heard was a loud thud a first...followed by the loud cracking noises of the wooden crates breaking**

**The Jedi Master sprung to her feet turned to see Naga laying flat on his back. Suddenly, Two wooden crates that laid along side Naga started to rise. Within seconds...they came crashing down on him. BBN now laid buried underneath the debris of the broken wood crates**

**Leia looked on moving ever so cautiously toward the buried sith, waiting to see if he starts moving again**

[Big Bad Naga]

Naga waited for a few moments. He could feel Leia coming closer and closer. Suddenly he leapt from the wreckage. Naga extended his claws and tackled Leia to the floor. He dug one set of nails into her shoulder. Naga reached back and called his saber to him. He swung the hilt at Leia, smacking her in the face.

Naga leapt back, wiping the blood from his cut lip. He released a malevolant grin, keeping his eyes on the Jedi. The glowing red eyes stared at her like hot coals.

"It seems you have a death wish Leia Solo."

Naga ignited his saber again and stood straight, waiting for her to rise. He took a few practice swipes in the air. Over the years, his marksmanship had improved greatly.

"I will fulfill that wish."

Naga ran at her, twirling his saber. He leapt forward, and jabbed right. It was parried by the master. He struck again, this time resulting in a stalemate. Both combatants tried to push the other done. Suddenly Naga threw her back into a wall. Leia hit it with a smack. He assumed a defencive stance.

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**Grabbing her left arm as he rose from the ground, Leia glanced at the minor wound, taking her eyes from the wound back up to Naga. The Jedi Master's face was one of no emotion, no fear just calm. She eyed Naga standing in the distance twirling his saber.**

**Suddenly peace and calm came over the Jedi Master as her stare became deep and penetrating. Leia was in deep connection with the force, suddenly the air seem to become cool dropping several degrees. Faint breezes can be felt changing quickly to gusts then gales. The stormlike breezes started circling around Naga, stray trash and newspapers even trash receptacles became airborne**

**The sith finding it very hard to stand, as his body was being pushed back from the climatic windfall..finds himself airborne. He is pulled up into the air in a cyclonic fashion, many meters high in the air.**

**The Jedi Master shut her eyes quickly...Naga plummeted back down to the earth onto some trash receptacles.

<font size=3> C-R-A-S-H!!!!</font>

**Not wasting anytime...Leia force sped to the injured sith, pulling back her saber ready to strike. She came up on Naga striking out at him...her saber coming down directly towards is chest.....

[Big Bad Naga]

Naga quickly rolls out of the way and watches Leia stumble into the trash receptacles. He kicks her back of the head and raises her above the ground.

"Do not test my anger."

He began to choke her with the Force. His eyes had a glint of madness as he performed this attack. Leia's face began to grow red.

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**Trying to concentrate on her breathing, Leia took her saber flung it towards Naga. The saber propelled through the air, twirling rapidly before its hilt hit Naga violently on the forehead..bewildering the Sith as he stumbled backwards..releasing his hold on the Jedi Master**

**Leia called back her saber, it flew back into her hand. She ignited it once more. She came up on Naga, once more quickly. Naga slowly rose to his feet quickly bringing forward his saber to block Leia's saberstrike.**

**The Jedi Master put more pressure on the blades bring in them over Naga's head. With her free left hand, she open her palm and hit him with a force induced palmstrke to the jaw..causing blood to trickle out, as his teeth rattled in his head. Quickly she took her saber hilt that was in her right hand...and smacked it across the back of his head as she went into a spin, bringing her blade down as she completey circled, seering his side. As the sith buckled up in pain from the saber strike, the Jedi stepped back a few meters away...looking on, as Naga was in pain in a crouching position **

"Don't you think your foolishness, has caused you enough pain?!! Call this off and tell me where those detonators are"

[Big Bad Naga]

Naga a little hunched from the pain on his side stood there and laughed. He rose up to full height absorbing the pain. He felt the Dark Side within. He could feel the awesome power.

"Idiot Jedi."

Naga spit blood on the floor and rubbed his jaw with his right hand. He could feel a few loose teeth, and his head was bleeding from the hits.

Naga ran at Leia, a few bricks flying at her from behind as he ran. She skillfully dodged the bricks, but she wasn't expecting the newspaper that flew in her face, momentarily blinding her.

Naga leapt in the air and kicked her in the stomach. He swiveled around and left a deep saber gash on the side of her arm. He then jump kicked her in the chin, knocking her back into a few boxes.

Naga kept silent and waited to see what the Jedi would do.

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**The Jedi Master rose to her feet, awkwardly standing at first as she rubbed her chin and grabbed her injured arm . She looked down at her arm briefly, ignoring the wound and chosing to keep matters focus on the task at hand..bringing down Naga*****

**While Naga foolishly chuckled mockingly at the Jedi Master, she stayed calm and kept in tune with the force. The very same bricks that were used against her..were now rising off the ground and rocketing through the air towards Naga. While Naga was busy dodging several bricks, Leia force sped towards the sith, leaps with a force enhanced kick to his chest sending him hurling into the cement wall behind him. She quickly grabbed the sith's head and repeatly thrusted it into the wall..leaving him somewhat dazed with several open wounds to his head. Naga quickly retaliates by planting his foot on Leia's injured arm sending her stumbling backwards in pain. The jedi regains her stance and holding her arm once more. She leapt forward once more towards Naga. Upon landing before Naga, she quickly backflipped away from him..but while in the process her right leg snapped with a sudden force enduced burst to his chin..breaking his already injured jaw.**

**Leia now stood several meters back, after landing gracefully from the backflip. She quickly regained her defensive stance and watched Naga's every move**

[Big Bad Naga]

Naga fell to one knee from extreme pain. His vision blurred from his head wounds and he was starting to feel very tired.

"You will have to kill me for I will not give up."

Naga implanted several pictures in Leia's mind of him coming from every direction. He knew these illusions would wear off quickly so he had to act fast. Naga swung his saber above Leia. The sword cut through a crossbeam that plunged to the floor. Using all his power to hold Leia in place, Naga watched as the crossbeam struck her leg, knocking her over and crusing it.

"There is no death, there is immortality."

Naga ran at Leia on the floor, flipping over the crossbeam and landing beside her head. He spun to face her and looked down at the Jedi. Naga delivered sharp kicks to her side, letting his pain and anger take over.

"Prepare to become one with the force!" Naga snarled.

He held his saber with both hands, swinging downwards at her neck.

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**The Jedi Master quickly brought up her blade to meet Naga's ..meanwhile she swung back her good leg..thrusting it into Naga's groin area. The Sith buckled up in extreme pain.**

**Leia focused on the force..the crossbeam levitated off her leg quickly and hurled right towards Naga's midsection. Both the crossbeam and the sith went hurling back several meters away as they went crashing into another cement wall. The crossbeam now crushed the sith and his ribs simultaneously as it pegged him to the cement wall. Naga was now pinned between the crossbeam and wall unable to move or breath**

**The Jedi Master gave a quick sigh of relief as she focused on the force, conjuring a force shield as she meditated on healing of her leg. She knew she had time for the sith was going nowhere at the current moment**

[Big Bad Naga]

Naga tries to growl but runs out of breath. He watches as his lightsaber is on the floor, deactivated. Naga ignites it with the Force. The lightsaber directed by him using the Force, flew over and sliced the crossbeam in several places. Naga fell to the floor and grasped his stomach.

Naga couldn't believe what a formidable foe Leia was. The best fighter he had ever seen. In a way, Naga was enjoying this battle besides the pain. His vision was getting a little better. Naga saw that the Jedi was meditating. He snorted.

Focusing on the Dark Side, Naga felt all the evils around him. He felt the air and the living things. He felt the dying things, the fear the pain. Gathering the Force around him, the wind started to pick up. Naga felt the power around him. He was using a technique he had practiced often called Force Wind. Suddenly, he released the energy. The wind knocked Leia up and forced her back into a cement wall. Naga watched as it changed directions. Leia went flying into another crossbeam, shoulder first. Naga heard a loud crack. He then stopped and watched her fall into a pile of trash. Naga leaned against the wall and waited. He could still sense her presence with the Force.

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**The Jedi Master rose to her feet much to Naga's suprise. Grabbing her left arm which apparently had a fracture to it, she winced momentarily in pain. Luckily for her it was not her saber arm. Knowing what she must do, she shut down the pain from her mind. Her eyes darted back to the Sith who was trying to regain his strength as he leaned against a wall. Leia closed her eyes and took a deep calming breath. Seconds later, her dark brown eyes opened wide again, the look of sheer determination was evident.**

**The Jedi Master charged forward towards the sith. Naga stood there defensively, but apparently badly injured and weakened. Leia first striked low with her saber, Naga parried the strike easily. The Jedi spun around right, the Sith spun around left...as both enemies spun towards each other, their blades crackled as they met in the middle, becoming locked in cross blade position. As both enemies struggled to get leverage. Their eyes were locked on each other. Neither one flinching.**

**Drawing from the force strength, Leia managed to pull the blades back over Naga's head in doing so, she took the hilt of her saber and cracked it hard into Naga's already broken jaw while bringing it up in one swift motion towards his right eye..the hilt smacked hard right into his eyesocket. As Naga screamed in pain covering his face, the jedi seized the moment by bringing back her saber from the hit to Naga's head, take a full swing backwards.. before plunging it forward like a skilled swordfenceman would..straight and true right through the Sith's left arm, which was trying to protect his face. Leia quickly pulled back away some. She watched her opponent falter from the blow.**

**Keeping her distance now several meters away..Leia glanced at her left arm and grabbing it once more. The pain was evident but something she will have to deal with later. Right now..her eyes remained focused on the fallen sith**

[Big Bad Naga]

Luckily, Naga had been trained to be Ambedextrious. He took his saber in his right arm and activated it. His right eye was closed shut, and his head was bleeding more then ever.

"You shall not defeat me!"

Naga's arrogance and anger caused him to go on. He would not allow a "Jedi" to beat him. The Sith pretended to fall to floor, but quickly flipped up and jumped at Leia. The Sith dropped his saber on the way, extending his claws once more. He tackled Leia to the floor, sinking his teeth into her right arm. Naga used his right arm to slash Leia in the face striking back. He dug his teeth into her arm, finally letting go. The Sith Knight jumped back and growled, spitting out blood. His face was full of blood, one only seen in nightmares.

"Pesky Jedi, DIE!"

Naga summoned his saber. With a quick slash he left a gash in Leia's belly. The Sith raised her off the ground and threw her onto a pile of rocks.

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**Leia grabbed some bacta from a pouch on her belt and quickly applied it to her midsection wound, she could not waste time for any injuries. She was in some pain, but blocked the pain from her mind once more. The Jedi Master laid there momentairly and started to evaluate the situation. Naga, now with a lose of an arm was an advantage for the Jedi. Leia eyed Naga's location and quickly reached out her palm and sent Force Light straight at the sith's eyes, blinding him with the overwhelming Light Side of the Force. The bright white light immobilized the sith's sight blinding him**

**While..Naga was blinded..Leia sent some rocks near by her towards Naga via the force. Pelting him from every direction. The sith had a very hard time dealing with this situation. Leia quickly engaged her lightsaber and threw it in the direction of Naga. The magenta glowing saber went whirling through the air as it met with a steel catwalk above the Naga's head . The blade of Leia's saber went cutting through the beam, sending it crashing down on the Sith's back. Loud crackling was heard followed by a huge crash from the impact of the catwalk on Naga's back. Naga was instantly crushed under the rubble from the steel catwalk, possibly seriously damaging his back**

**The Jedi Master gave a sigh of relief if not for just a moment, as she called back her saber to her hand** Leia was then able to concentrate fully on the force's healing powers while Naga was temporarily incapicatated. The Jedi Master continued her healing while never keeping an eye off Naga* *

[Big Bad Naga]

Naga layed there, crushed under the beam. He had lost all feeling in his left leg and he did not dare try and stand on his own. The Sith concentrated on all the Dark Side left in him. His mind traveled across Coruscant channeling the evil that plagued the world. The Politics, the wars, the crimes. Everything Naga felt he gathered with the Dark Side. This was his last ditch attempt for survival.

The crossbeam flew off Naga into the sky. Slowly floating above the ground just a wee bit, the Sith glared at Leia, his eye blazing red. He knew this battle was near end, he HAD to be the victor!

Naga gathered the energy shouting. He could see Leia, watching him. He saw as she slowly formed a Force Shield. Naga smiled. This move could not be blocked by a Force Sheild. Crunching into a little ball, the Sith started to glow red. Leia could see the darkness cloud around him. The sky turned dark. Suddenly, with a big blast, Naga unraveled himself unleashing all the energy upon the surrounding area. Buildings crumbled, crossbeams broke. Everything became bright with power. Naga closed his eyes and watched as everything went black.

A few moments later he opened his eyes. That move he had used was Force Destruction. Unfortunately, this time, Naga had been hit too. He looked and saw that Leia was bruised under a pile of rubble. The Sith shrieked with madness. After all that she was still alive! He grasped his lightsaber only a few feet away. Naga used all the power left in him and jumped using the Dark Side. He activated the orange blade and swung straight at Leia's face.

"Let the Dark Side direct my blade and strike down the Jedi!"

Naga lunged straight at her with speed and madness.

"DIE YOU JEDI B****!!!"

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**Seeing the crazied sith coming at her, Leia reacted with her Jedi instincts and rolled out of what would have been a fatal strike. She came out behind Naga.. and quickly sprung to her feet, engaging her saber while she spun around simultaneously and plunging the magenta blade right through the back of Naga only inches away from his heart**

**A loud groan can be heard as Naga, buckles up before falling to the ground**

**Leia looked on and slowly walked over to the sith knowing she must speak to him, for his death seemed inavoidable at this point**

Naga..you have lost. Now, die like a true warrior and help save those innocent lives. Tell me where are those bombs you planted now.

[Big Bad Naga]

Naga slowly raised his head to look at Leia. Blood poured from his mouth. Naga managed to spit some of it out to speak. The blade had pierced him like nothing he had ever felt before. Battered and bruised, bleeding, and stabbing, Naga was dying. He felt death for the first time in his life.

"I will uphold my promise. You have bested me.*

The Sith shakes his robe and a datapad slides out onto the floor.

"On that datapad, all the locations are. You have 10 minutes. Hopefully you do not make your target."

Naga formed his last grin.

"I'll see you in hell Solo."

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**Leia leaned over and picked up the datapad, glancing down at it quickly. Before returning her gaze back at Naga**

**The Jedi Master responded to Naga ignoring his last words of venom toward her. She momentarily had pity for the fallen sith's soul. Peace it would never find**

You have done the right thing. Ashame you could not have seen the truth in the lightside of The Force.

**The Jedi Master left the scene in a hurry and force sped to the 10 locations decativating all bombs in a timely fashion. Luckily for the innocent lives of those in Coruscant, they were saved once again from another sith's sinister's attempt to terminate their very lives**

[Big Bad Naga]

Naga could not speak anymore. His vocal box had died. His body was next. The Sith slowly closed his eyes. He was going to accept death. He had never really thought about his death. Now his time was up, no more time to think about death.

Naga saw a shadow just behind a fallen crossbeam. It looked like a human. The man's eyes gave a glint of interest. Naga tried to speak to the man but he couldn't. To BBN's surprise, the human advanced. Naga tried to raise a hand as if to threaten, but he couldn't. Suddenly, Naga had an idea.

Back in his training, he had learned of life essence transfers in death times. Naga didn't want to be a human, but he didn't want to die. His mind was beginning to freeze up. He closed his eyes and submitted himself to the Dark Side once more. Naga fell into a deep trance.

It was as if his body was ripped in half. His soul wa sucked into the man like a ghost possesion. Naga slowly opened his eyes. He was in his new body...Very strange. Wait...his name was not Naga anymore. He was now Seth. Seth Darkserpent. The malevolant being of evil slowly slipped away cackling maniacally. He had much to take care of.

"There is no death, there is immortality"
