Darth Nexus was inspecting his flagship, the Progenitus, as he always did from time to time. Ensuring that his ship was at peak operating efficiency, making sure that his droid army was working and operating correctly, and that everything was exactly the way he needed it to be. He had been made a general in the Separatist alliance by Count Dooku after proving his abilities. He had designated himself to be the face of the conspiracy. To have all eyes on him while the other sith lords and warriors could operate more conspicuously. It didn't bother him though, there wasn't anyone in the galaxy that Nexus was afraid of. He was deeply connected to the darkside of the force, and one of the foremost masters of the Makashi dueling style. So far in his time with the Separatists, he had taken back the planet Chrystophsis from the Republic, and his discreet assassination of Jedi Master Et-Koth.

But in mid-thought, he was approached by one of his officer droids.

"General, you have an incoming transmission from Darth Caius."

"Put it through." He replied.

"Roger roger."

An image of his master, and long time friend, Darth Caius appeared on his communicator.

"Greetings master, to what do I owe this visit?"

"The time has come for phase 1 to be put into motion. You are to rendezvous with one of our allies on Korriban."

"I understand master, Nexus out."

He ordered the engineers to plot a course for Korriban ,and he was off.

While in the jump to lightspeed, his thoughts were interrupted by a telepathic message.

"Meet me in the valley of the Dark Lords." the voice said to him.

"That must be the ally i'm supposed to meet." Nexus said to himself.

After what only seemed like a short time, the Progenitus came out of hyperspace and was in clear view of planet korriban, the hom-eworld of the sith order. As his ship was given clearance to land, Nexus had almost forgotten what a desolate, barren wasteland this planet was. It was the polar opposite of his home planet, Naboo. Following the telepathic instructions, he made his way to the sith academy via speederbike, his preferred method of transportation. The Valley of the Dark Lords was the secret sanctuary of the sith academy, underneath the actual structure. As he passed through the main gates of the academy, he was greeted and saluted by the guard, and various students and warriors.

"We've been expecting you." one of the warriors said as he led Nexus to the secret entrance.

Once the entrance was opened, Nexus alone walked down the seemingly endless spiral stairway until they ended in a large open room. It was full of statues depicting the great sith lords throughout the ages. In the middle of the room stood 3 people, one who was clearly someone of higher rank, and 2 students.

"Are you the one who contacted me?" he asked him.

These traditions were so archaic, Nexus had almost forgotten about some of them. But it was so bothersome, having to duel somebody who is supposed to be an ally. But he knew better than to go against tradition, it would be dishonorable to him. So with a sigh, he drew one of his two lightsabers and formed the Makashi salute. But in battle, Nexus was very deliberate with his moves, especially against a new opponent. He liked to test his adversaries, and gauge their abilities, forming a strategy based on his acquired knowledge. So first eh decided to test his knowledge of the force.

He concentrated his rage and energy into a medium strength blast of lightning and hurled it right at his opponent.

It had been a long time since Nexus had faced an opponent with abilities this close to his own. Trying to overpower this sith lord in a force-lock was exhilarating. It was a battle of willpower as the force-lock into a stalemate, but he refused to be beaten. In a bold move, Nexus drew one arm back, holding the lightning back with just one hand. But he concentrated what was left of his power in one unholy blast. The surge of lightning knocked the other sith lord off balance. That was when he made his move, he re-drew his lightsaber, jumped through the air, and pointed it right at his opponent's throat.

"That was close, but game over. Can we get on with business already?"

With the battle over, he pulled his hood back up and began walking with the Sith lord.

" I forgot to introduce myself, I am Darth Nexus. But you may call me Marcelle."

He had almost forgotten how imposing these statues were, tall and intimidating, they were indeed a fair edifice of the Sith lords they resembled. Unlike the Jedi temple, the Sith temple was darker and far less accommodating. They both trained younglings though, but their training methods were far from similar. The Sith thought that the Jedi's training method was too soft and lenient. Sith were trained to feel no physical pain, to focus and amplify their negative emotions in order to turn them into power, to be discreet, and most importantly to be merciless in battle.

"Well as you may or may not be aware, I have become a general in the Separatist Alliance. I guess you could say that i'm the face of the conspiracy. That way, the rest of you can operate more discreetly. Thus far I have succeeded in blending in and earning Sidious' respect and trust. I am keeping things running smoothly on my end."
