Instead of losing his hands to Anakin Skywalker aboard the Invisible Hand, Count Dooku is pinned down by falling debris. As Palapatine just told Anakin to kill Count Dooku, a trio of Destroyer Droids arrive just in time to save him. In the conflageration, Palpatine is killed, and Dooku escapes to fight again. Having seriously sobered up by his experience, Count Dooku has turned away from the path of the Sith, and seeks to create a new order of the Force. Already, Dooku has gathered his most promising students, and set up a training facility, so that they may be the first of a bold new era...
Davon Truff, a young German Shepherd student of the Force rescued by Dooku in his infancy from Hutt slavers, is dueling with his fellow student, Piffl Vhext. Davon, while an accomplished duelist, finds himself on the defensive from Piffl's strikes. Though it is a friendly sparring match, it is starting to get intense.

"You are still weak Davon..." smirks Piffl Vhext, the arctic vixen as she continues her relentless assault on her fellow student. "That is why the Count has yet to make you one of his Hands."
The vixen spins around and knocks Davon off his feet with a well aimed kick.

Davon, concentrating to much of parrying the blades, does not see this coming, and falls to the floor. His lightsaber dropped, and Piffl's hovering between his eyes, he concedes defeat. "You win again, Piffl, but be careful with your pride; after all, that's what nearly got our Master nearly killed back on Coruscant, and he was a master of the Force in the truest sense. Do not think that fate will be so kind to you," he says, attempting to salvage some of his own pride.

"There is hope for you yet, young one." says Piffl. The vixen helps Davon to his feet.

Davon welcomes Piffl's aid in getting back on his feet. While he is frustraighted in that he has yet to win a sparring match with her, he is glad that someone like her is on his side during this war. And what a war it has been. With the extent of Palpatine's plans discovered by Dooku after his death on the Invisible Hand, the war has taken a turn for the better for the Seperatist cause. With the sabotage to thier best weapons over and the immedeate cessation of all terror weapons and tactics, the CIS has regained the initiative against the Republic, which is still struggling with the Chancellor's death.
Davon, now back on his feat, spoke again. "Thanks. And it is good to know that the Confederacy has those with your skills in it's service."

"And they are lucky to have someone as loyal as you on their side Davon." says Piffl, without hesitating, she grab s hold of Davon's head with both hands and pulls him into a powerful, passionate kiss. "And that is how I reward loyalty."

ooc: Um, that was going a bit too... fast, relationship-wise for me, but whatever works.
Davon is stunned, as he wasn't expecting something quite like that from his fellow Sith warrior, though he can't say that it wasn't welcomed. He did always have a crush on the arctic fox. "Th... Thanks. But yes, if we are to succeed where the Sith have failed in the past, we must reward loyalty over ambition, and turn away from betrayal."
ooc: I plan to have Count Dooku contact them for mission briefing soon, judt to let you know, should this part start getting a bit too repetitive.

ooc: I just thought that was her style.
ic: "I agree. I hear that you have certain 'Force Skills' that most of us can only dream of." said Piffl with a wink and a naughty smile."

As Davon and Piffl exchange pleasantries, their master, Count Dooku calls for them over their comm-links. "Vhext, Truff, I require your presence in my briefing chambers. There is a mission of vital importance to our cause that requires the skills of the both of you. Dooku out." Davon and Piffl head on towards the briefing chambers of their master, ready for whatever mission that he might be assigning to them.

"And I Have heard rumors that Darth Sidious is dead. If so, Dooku is now the Master, and unless he abolishes Darth Bane's 'Rule of Two', he can only have one apprentice."

"I'm not sure what our master wants us to do, mission-wise, but if there can only be two true Sith at a time, then the other is likely to be you."
Davon and Piffl arrive at Dooku's briefing quarters. They stand attention to the lion, and listen to what he has to say.
Count Dooku: "Vhext, Truff, you are probably wondering what I have called you here for. There is a place of importance to the Sith, a tomb world known as Korriban. The Republic has learn of it's location, and is planning on destroying all traces of Sith history there. I am sending you and a detachment of commando droids to the place to retrieve as many artifacts as you can from there. You will leave within the hour on board a special stealth ship that our engineers have developed for missions such as these. You must not fail; the Rule of One depends on it."
Davon: "Master, with all due respect, don't you meant the Rule of Two?"
Dooku: "Sidious' death has shown the flaw in the Rule of Two. From now on, there shall be only the Rule of One... the Sith Order itself. May the Force guide your hands. That is all."

"So, the rumors regards Sidious' death are true." said Piffl. "Do not worry my lord. We will not fail you."

Dooku: "That, I already know."
Davon and Piffl walk out of the chamber, and towards the docking bay where the stealth ship is being loaded for the mission. Commando droids, some equipped with captured clone trooper armor, walk up the loading ramp, and into the ship. Before Davon and Piffl head there as well, a familiar face not too friendly appears.
General Grievous: "Bah, I do not know why Dooku is sending two whelps to do a job that I can do much more adequately. I feel that this is a waste of droids and a perfectly good ship as well; you two, I cannot say the same of."

"Can it cyborg." said Piffl to Greivous. "The Count has picked us because you will be busy in orbit, stalling the Republic fleet as long as you can."

Davon, coming to the aid of Piffl, seaks, perhaps something not too intelligent. "Besides, Korriban is a world of importance to the Sith, not Sith wannabees."
Grievous: "Bah!" The general brings a fist up to Davon's face, keeping it just out of touching distance. "Where you a Jedi your lightsaber would already be mine!" If Grievous had spittle when he talked, it would have been all over Davon's face. "You just do you job collecting your precious trinkets. And don't you worry, any Republic vessel at our destination is as good as destroyed!" Grievous marches off to his ship.
Walking up the ramp, Davon and Piffl resume talking to each other. "Is he ever in a mood other than foul?"

"Yes, other then foul, he can be a real sadist." said Piffl. "I hear he tried to destroy a Republic medical facility once."

Davon: "I heard that too. I also heard that he has a tendency to lose important hardware when it matters. I just hope that that happens not to be true."
Fully loaded, the stealth vessel, the Shadow of the Sith, takes off, along with a fleet of Separatist frigates and destroyers, and one Providence class warship.
Davon: "That one must be Grievous' ship. But this sure is a sizable task force. That makes it all the more important that we succeed."

"Agreed. And if we survive this, I was thinking of rewarding you with more then a mere kiss." said Piffl. "I've had my eyes on you since I met you, you are a most attractive specimen."

Davon is at a loss of words. "Er, thanks, I do try to keep in shape. But you probably should have waited until after the mission was over to tell me that." Said for good reason too. Now the thoughts of seeing the parts of Piffl that weren't white will be bombarding him during the mission. He will have to use the best of his abilities to concentrate on the task at hand.

"I am sorry about that." said Piffl. "I wasn't thinking straight."
