The Tomb of Ajunta Pall

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After meeting up with Starlight Glimmer, Spike and her had ventured their way into the Tomb of Ajunta Pall. Spike's purpose in the tomb was to obtain a Sith war blade, while Starlight was there to speak to a hermit named Spindrall. The tomb was in ruins, with falling and broken columns everywhere. The k'lor'slugs were everywhere, some of them were not much bigger than them, but some were enormous and a blood red color. In the midst of all the chaos trying to kill them, there were raiders stealing Sith artifacts. Spike sighed as they entered the tomb, "The k'lor'slugs are even more repulsive up close. I suggest we proceed with caution."

Starlight nodded, "You're right, let's get going. Should we do some side missions?"

"It'll help us level up faster if we do some side missions." Spike agreed with Starlight

As the two continued through the tomb, a soldier asked to talk to them, "Sergeant Colman, 5th Infantry, Korriban Regiment. Can- Can I talk to you?"

Spike nodded, "Speak freely sergeant."

The sergeant explained, "Thank you sir. My squad and I are on an assignment to exterminate k'lor'slugs in this tomb. They're horrific creatures, mouths bigger than your head. I've lost a lot of good men fighting them. The damn k'lor'slugs breed so fast, there's no way to wipe them out conventionally, so we targeted their egg chambers. They went insane. We managed to get explosives to all of the egg chambers, but the beasts were on us before we could detonate them."

Starlight nodded, "We'll finish the job."

Spike and Starlight made their way to the egg chambers, killing k'lor'slugs on the way. Spike stopped for a moment and cut off a dead k'lor'slug's head saying, "I think I'll keep this as a trophy."

Starlight looked like she would throw up when Spike cut off a k'lor'slug's head, "That's disgusting Spike. But to each his own I suppose. Let's just detonate the charges." The two of them killed the k'lor'slugs that were in the egg chamber and activated the charges before running.

When the charges blew, they made their way back to Sergeant Colman and told him it was done. He thanked them, "I heard the explosion when you set off the charges. Thank you sir, outstanding work."

When they were done with the mission, a watch on their wrists beeped. They clicked the touch screen on it and saw they'd grown to level 2. "Nice, level two. We're one step closer to escaping the game."

Starlight nodded, "Yeah, but there's still a long way to go. Let's get going."

As Spike and Starlight made their way though the tomb, Spike heard a rumbling sound and pushed Starlight to the ground as a broken column fell to the ground, and yelled, "Starlight, get down!" when he got off her and helped her up, he asked, "You ok?"

Starlight smiled as Spike helped her up, "Thanks to you I am Spike. I knew the game had fall damage, but I didn't think there were environmental hazards. We'll need to be more careful"

When they got to their destination, Spike said, "I guess this is where we part ways for now. I'll go into the armory, and you're supposed to go to the Sacrificial Chamber to meet Spindrall."

Starlight nodded, "I'll see you later then." And headed into the Sacrificial Chamber.

Spike walked down the stairs into the armory, and grabbed one of the Sith war blades. As he walked out of the armory, he was attacked by ancient droids and smiled, "Guess I don't have to wait long to test this baby out." before Force jumping to one of the droids and slamming his blade into it, cutting it in half. He grabbed another droid with the Force and slammed it into another droid. After he was done with the droids, he headed back up the stairs and headed for the Sith Academy.

When he got to the Academy, he headed to Tremel's chamber, but was stopped by two human acolytes. One of them said, "Hey, you there, acolyte. Let me get a look at you. Hmm... so you're Overseer Tremel's secret weapon? Impressive to say the least. Afraid the old man waited too long."

Spike growled, "You must be Vemrin, I knew you'd be trouble when Tremel told me about you. Now get out of my way before I lose my temper."

The second human with a beard and facial tattoo suggested, "This is ridiculous Vemrin, let's just kill him and hide the body."

Vemrin stopped his friend, "We're not on Balmorra anymore Dolgus, there are rules, traditions. Let's just go, this idiot won't get anywhere under Tremel."

Dolgus stayed behind after Vemrin left and said, "Listen to me you useless priss, Acolytes aren't allowed to murder each other, but accidents happen. It's not murder without witnesses. Vemrin's the alpha here, you go after him, you die."

Spike scoffed, "Get out of here, back to your owner you little Kowakian monkey-lizard."

Dolgus growled as he left, but he said nothing. After that, Spike walked into Tremel's office, and he said, "Ah, acolyte. You're here. You seem in one piece. How do you like your new blade?"

Spike smiled, "I hope it's thirsty, I plan on drowning it."

A girl in the office asked, "What are you doing father? I've just gotten my war blade, and I've been here for six months."

Tremel sternly told her, "I have my reasons Eskella, and you will not breathe a word of this to anyone, understand?"

Eskella nodded, "Yes, yes father."

Tremel introduced his daughter, "Acolyte, this is my daughter, Eskella. She's one of the advanced students at the academy, on her way to becoming Sith. If she minds herself."

"I'll keep quiet about this father, but I won't be able to help you if this blows up in your face." Eskella said as she walked out.

Tremel sighed, "Don't mind her, she's just sore I'm keeping secrets. She growls, but she's loyal. Now, I thought I heard Vemrin's voice in the adjacent chamber. Did he make his move?"

Spike growled, "Yeah, I already hate him."

"If he didn't attack, he must not realize the threat you pose to him. Good. In a drive for sheer numbers, anyone with Force sensitivity is allowed into the Academy. Vemrin is impure, and unworthy. He must not be allowed to advance. Unfortunately, he's caught the eye of Darth Baras, a powerful and influential Dark Lord of the Sith. If he becomes Baras's apprentice, he could change things for the worst. Now, onto your next trial. I want you to interrogate three prisoners being held by Jailer Nash. You must listen to each prisoner's story, and decide their fate."

Spike bowed, "I will handle it" and headed towards the jails in the academy.
