A dark figure stepped out of the opened hatched of the ship that jsut landed. The figure was tall, and covered in a black, sprawling clothe that covered the figure from head to toe. Six people had exited just before him, all dressed in blood red from head to toe, all carrieing blaster rifles with blaster pistols at their hips. Three were male, three were female. Four exited the ship after the dark figure and were dressed just as the first six were. A group of eight Storm troopers had been waiting outside the ship, their guns fixed on the people dressed in red.
"Who are you and what is your business here?"
The dark figure stopped walking and seemed to be observing the storm troopers.
"Some one you don't want to point your guns at."
"...Some one I don't want to point my gun at..."
"Some one...That you would like to follow and protect."
"...Some...one I would like to follow and protect..."
The Storm Troopers lowered their weapons, which the Red uniformed men and women in front took from the troopers and replaced with different, red tinted ones.
"Move aside and get back to your posts, tell no one of our arival."
"Sir!"
The Troopers turned and left.
"Now, take those guns on board, you four will do fine for now, let us get on with things."
The Dark figure resumed walking, the four men and women behind him moved to form a protective box around him and walked with him, with out speaking.

Drakontas was standing in a large room infront of a window overlooking the dusty, baron land. She was not alone. Her personal guards stood with guns at the only entrance to the room dressed in black armour. There were about ten in all, stationed around the room. Her long cloak covered her scaly back though her armoured tail snaked out underneath it, black though it shone a fiery red in the light as did her burning eyes. She was more dragon than human.
She turned her draconic head as she heard the sound of movement outside, for she had excellent hearing.
She narrowed her red eyes and spoke to two of her gaurds "Go outside and tell me who has just arrived."
they obeyed silently, striding out of the room leaving Drakontas to wait.
They marched down a long path which lead to the shipping dock and saw a procession of people walking towards them. They stopped infront of them on the path, quite away from prying ears and said in dull, mechanical voices "Lord Falar? Lady Drakontas awaits you." they turned and marched down the path towards Drakontas's quaters, leading Falar's party to their pre-arranged secret meeting which had been arranged just after the Death Star exploded and the death of their leader, Darth Sidious...

"Lord Falar? Lady Drakontas awaits you."
The figures guards tensed for a fraction of a second. They knew not to use that name even in the most dire of situations, but these...Fools did not know. Surely their master would teach them how to speak? The figure seemed to indicate one of his guards for one nodded and spoke ot the two who had begun to lead them. "The lady has the express permission to use that name, not you, not us, don't use it again, it is, punishable by death." The mechanical voice of the man could be just heard by the two escorts.
They entered the pre arranged room for the meeting second later. The ladies guards moving to their posts, as the figures guards moved to take up protective positions as well. "The rest of my guard is just outside, they should be here....Now." The figure stopped speaking as his other six guard trooped in, taking up their pre arranged positions, now all the guards had equal footing with each other, neither side would have any advantage, unless one or both had prepared.
The figure removed the dark clothe from his head to reveal a charismatic face, one that could easily seduce a number of women. "My lady, its is a...Pleasure to meet you once more, shall we get on with this meeting? I am sure that you have other plans, as I have." He reached out to a table with three bottles and four filled cups. "Let us discuss the reasons behind this meeting...We are here to to form a sort of treaty are we not? or maybe to assasinate each other? We Sith seem to be very reputable for that..."

Lady Drakontas watched as Falar entered the room with a neutral expression, though her draconic features probably looked intimidating, but she knew that Falar was not the type to be intimidated.
She considered him for a moment before answering. Her voice was as a normal woman's would be except for a faint rasping quality; "Indeed, we do" she allowed her lip to curl in half a smile before walking over to the table and sitting down. Her taloned feet (like Grievous's) clinked on the polished metal floor as she walked. She took in his features and expression for a moment, noticing the finely carved features and the ego in them. She knew she was much the same, which came with the job - the higher rank you are, the higher an ego you get.
"I do not wish to assassinate you straight away, unless we form a disagreement of some kind.
Well, I feel that we should be discussing whether we should form an alliance and rule together, or else fight over the top position. Personally, I think our fellow Sith Lord is rather a fool. He would be quite a burden if we are to rule." she looked Falar directly in the eyes and said "What say you, Falar?" she asked. She had always had a quick, decicive personality - many thought her actions rash, but there were few of them left to tell the tale...

Jara'do took his seat, seeing that it was only polite to sit after the Lady. "I say... That to rule together we would... Greatly... Diminish our own powers... But to rule...Individualy we would risk... Assasination... Betrayal. So we must make... A... Pact of some kind... One that would make our rule as one... Allow us... Individual power... Make ends meet." He took a sip of his drink. "I believe that the only way to truly be at peace... we have to be at war with... Another... I feel the same of our fellow Sith lord as you do, strong in the force he may seem but a foolish man with little knowlege. If we are to be at peace, and rule as...One...We may need a way to tie our power, to combine it....That shall be a task worthy of our efforts, let us call our pact the Combine, for that is what will we be in the end. I shall rule one part, you another...Together...We...Shall dominate our foes... We need to...Make or Fellow Join...Or kill...Make a public anouncement wit his...Untimely death." Jara'do took another sip of his drink and coughed. "I... Seem to be Losing my ability to speak...My yung apprentice here..." One of the his Guards stepped forward. "Has been in my services for some time now, and shall be my speaker. His name if Relt, he is yung and Rash, but he does show great potential...."

Drakontas listened with intensity to Falar, or Jara'do as some called him. She doubted that he would unite with her for very long once they seized power together - it was simply the way of a Sith Lord - full power must be obtained and half power simply undesirable.
She was willing to go along with the plan nevertheless, and as Falar spoke of his apprentice, she watched him approach with unblinking red eyes. "Greetings, Relt." she inclined her head then after a short pause, in which she sat and thought, said "I accept these terms, though I must insist that we split the Galaxy equally in half, though the question is which planets... and as for our fellow, I believe he will be a threat once we have taken power - he should be killed to be safe." she directed her question to Falar, though she fixed her gaze on Relt as she finished speaking.

Jara'do blinked at Drakontas with a blank face for several seconds before responding. Relt had a look of being unsure if he should answer the question. 'Relt, my apprentice, how would you answer this?" Jara'do knew that sharing power with Drakontas would only last until the the other Sith was dead and how ever long after that, well, not long.
"I believe that it would be best if we...Should kill the fool and be on with it, crush the rebelion and set out to destroy any rebel planets!" Relt's voice rose with intensity and his blue eyes flashed with madness as he spoke, his chest had involuntarily puffed out and his face was set with determination. Jara'do was all that held the man together, barely.
"Relt...Try and be calm think slowly, you mustn't get to far ahead of your self. Yes, we must kill our fellow Sith, then move on to the rebelions, but we mustn't destroy any planets...That was our masters undoing, and his attachment to Vader..." Jara'do took a sip from his cup. "I agree lady Drakontas, we should split the Galaxy equaly, and which planets to have indeed, I will name the ones I have and you name yours, then we name which others would be most suitable... I have Hoth, Naboo, Mustafar, and Curascant...Though the new Jedi are trying for it and their old temple...I believe that we must force the Jedi back and share Curascant...Unless you would rather have Curascant, I have no need for such a planet." Jara'do looked Drakontas in her firey eyes with such a plain, expressionless face that one would think he was brainless.

Drakontas looked at Relt with mild surprise - he was certainly enthusiastic. She nodded after Falar had spoken then said "Hmm, yes I would like Corascant if you would not, and Ambria - we have allies there. Oh, and Felucia and Tatooine. I can take care of the jedis - my men and I are up to it I think." she switched her gaze to Relt then back to Falar. "This needs proper planning. Maybe at a later date we could sort out territory?" she inquired Falar.
Then she said "About our fellow... He has many allies and is protected heavily. How are we to assassinate him without causing suspicion?" she said it almost lazily, though her gaze was intense as she looked over the table at Falar - she had not touched her drink. Her tail flicked impatiently, and she crossed her legs, her taloned feet clinking on the edge of the table.

Jara'do gave a slight nod and set his glass down, having noticed Drakontas's glance. "Tatooine and Felucia are secure, I have blockades set in place, the people are quite enthusiastic about joining my army, But Hoth is my prime, it is my capital and none shall take it from me...I have made sure of this." Relt seemed to get a secret message as he moved back to his place as a guard and waited silently.
Jara'do stood. "I must go now, I apoligize...for cutting our meeting short, we shall meet agai nsome time I am sure..." Jara'do moved the black clothe over his head. "Take care, I sence the Jedi are up to something, as well as other enemies some where out there... Be on you...Talons, we may be finding ourselves fighting more enemies than we first thought..." Jara'do walked out of the room, his guards quickly following him, ofrming a protective box around him. He spit out the liquids he had drank. "Never trust another Sith Relt..." "Yes master, I shall never trust."

Drakontas nodded and stood as Falar said his farewells. She said "Goodbye Falar." with that he left and she watched him go, her eyes narrowed. She had noticed that he had refrained from answering her question of how to kill their fellow Sith Lord. She did not trust him, though she needed him for her plan to work... First of all she needed that slimy Sith Lord who blocked her path out of the picture. She stood for a moment, thinking, then strode out of the secret room and all ten of her guard followed her. They had a different formation to Falar's; two escorted her on either side and the rest were in a double single file behind. She reached her ship and boarded, her black cloak flowing menacingly behind her. Many of the locals watched curiously after her - they had noticed thet there were two Sith Lords on the premises and they did not bode well. Drakontas ignored them. They were insignificant to her. She nodded at the two guards beside her and they marched off to the pilot who was instructed to fly them to Corascant. The narrow, black, streamlined ship rose and blasted off into space...

Jara'do stepped into the ship that would carry him back to the planet Hoth. "Relt...You have a mission...Stay here, you must make this planet...Defendable...I will take no chances with the few worlds we have. I will go to Hoth and Mustafar, You shall stay here...."
Relk walked out of the ship and towards the command center.
