The next day the main foyer and staircase was filled with Jedi, police sentries, security droids, and medical droids all over. The temple was in mourning, two of their own dead, murdered with no signs of who or why.

Nahum and Kimpo

Wow yoy Jedi walk around as if someone died." Kimpo thought.

Nahum shrugged. "Its odd, you see more cheer in a cemetery." He noticed a group of Jedi, among them his friend Layiah. "Stay here, ok."

Kimpo shrugged. "Yeah sure."

"I mean it." Nahum said sternly.

"And I said okay, don't blow a fuse like you did back in Kass City."

Nahum was quieted. He left and rushed to his friend. "Layiah?"

"Oh gosh, Nahum."

He could tell by the look on her face something bad has happened. "What's going on, why is it like a burial ceremony going in here."

Layiah attempted to hold back her tears. "I-Its Master Ty'et....he's dead."

Nahum's eyes widen, he was unable to bring himself to speak. He could not even move. It was as if time frozen all around him and all he could see was his master before he left for his mission and what he told him.

"Nahum?" Layiah asked.

"Wh-what? How did this happened?"

"No one knows exactly, he and a padawan were found dead on at the top of the staircase." She replied.

"Rumor has it the padawan went mad and killed him." Another Jedi stated.

"Com'on Rahn, Master Ty'et killed by a padawan. Really?" Another Jedi replied.

"I'm just saying." Rahn answered.

"I overheard a medical droid confirm a saber slash on Master Ty'et." A third padawan added.

No one else spoke. Nahum was still frozen still. "This can't not be real." He looked over at Kimpo, something inside of Nahum believe that he, this mission, and his master's death are somehow connected.

"Hey here comes Master Dar'nala." Layiah pointed out.

"Nahum." Dar'nala said softly.

The Togruta signaled to Nahum to walk with her. "I assume you know of today's events?"

Nahum nodded in agreement. "It doesn't make sense." He thought back to what the others brought up. "Did the padawan do this. A medical droid mention a lightsaber begin used to kill master Ty'et."

"No the padwan did not. His neck was broken." Dar'nala explained.

Nahum was more confused than before. The two got close to Kimpo but before they got any closer Nahum stopped.

"Please Master Dar'nala, what happened?" He cried.

"I am sorry Nahum, but I am not at liberty to say anymore." She said.

She began to sense anger boil in Nahum and see the feeling of rage in his eyes. "I know what you must be feeling. But remember There is no emotion..."

"There is only peace." He finished.

The two walked to Kimpo. "This is the reporter that I had to bring back from the tip we received."

Dar'nala nodded. "Let's see Master Zym. "

Darth Chaos walked into the dark chamber of the Dark Hand. He was focus, determined, and calm. He accomplished his mission, now he would be able to fortify his position and possibly join the Hand and lead the Sith, after which he would singlehandedly kill each member and be the Hand on his own. However he was not fully aware of those who rule the Hand.

He fell to one knee and pulled out the lightsaber that was once owned by Master Ty'et.

"My mission is accomplish my lords."

No one, not even Master Chratis thought Darth Chaos would come back and so soon. "Impressive." Darth Chratis said.

"Thank you my lord."

"Yes yes we are all impressed but did he actually kill the owner of this lightsaber?" Darth Soul wondered.

"He did." Darth Iman answered after a quick scan of Darth Chaos' mind.

"Well you proved your point you may leave." Darth Soul said in a snobbish tone.

Darth Chao was not happy. "I think I have proven that I should be apart of the Dark Hand, seeing how I have done something none of you would dare even try."

"Excuse me?" Darth Soul lashed out.

"Mind your tongue Darth Chaos." Darth Rufus said as he stood up.

"The dark lord is correct he has proven himself." Chratis defended.

"Because you are his trainer I allowed for this to even be a matter of importance Darth Chratis. Also because of that I am going to kill him for his insolent tone." Darth Soul replied.

"We have more important matters to attend to anyhow." Darth Iman added.

Darth Soul turn to Darth Chaos from his high position and looked down to him. "This meeting is over."

The other members of the Dark Hand stood up and followed Soul from their chairs. Darth Chratis stood and looked to Darth Chaos. As Chaos looked back at him his eyes widen in disbelief. Suddenly his eyes turned bloodshot and anger swelled inside him.

"It can't be." Darth Chaos thought.

Darth Chratis left the chamber leaving Chaos alone. He looked up at the dark ceiling. Though the Dark Hand left Darth Chaos felt a surge of dark energy still inside the chamber. It was not the lingering power of those who left but the power of those still present.

"I will kill them all! You hear me! I WILL KILL THEM ALL!" He yelled while looking upward to the ceiling.
