John walked passed his guards and out of the temple. As his guards began to follow him, he stopped them.
"I'm going alone. Back to where we found your armor." He spoke to the four shadow troopers equipped with lightsabers.
"Sir..." the only one with a pauldron began to speak. "...it'd make us feel better knowing you're safe."
"Safe?" John asked as he looked at the trooper. "Captain Lan, surely you know I don't need protection?"
The captain nodded. "I do, Emperor, but, this has something to do with the Outsiders. We'd rather you not take an unknown force on alone."
John sighed as he began to walk back into the temple. "Only you and one other. Let's go get my helmet as well."
Once they got John's helmet, they walked out and saw Squad 22 mobilizing. As they climbed onto an LAAT, John and the two troopers climbed onto another.
They were dropped off inside the first destroyed elf city, which was still in ruins. Although some soldiers were on patrol, the people that lived there looked sickly.
Soldiers saluted as John walked passed them, and they eventually arrived at the senate building. They walked through the basement in the senator office and arrived at the hidden door.
John forcibly removed the holocron, shutting the now empty vault. He stared at the holocron and smiled. "Let's go. We've gotten what we came for."
As John and the two walked outside, they were met by three people wearing white robes and white masks.
"Hello. What have we here?" John asked. He put the holocron in his inventory as he took spoke. "Are you the Outsiders?"
They all looked at him. "Are you the emperor suppressing this world?"
John shook his head. "No. Well...not yet." He shot lighting at them, but the third one activated their green lightsaber and reflected it back at John, who froze it with the force.
[Quest Activated: Outsiders; Defeat the Outsiders]
[Rewards: ???]
John looked at the three as he motioned for his guards to take two of them. The one who reflected the lightning watched as it dispersed in the air.
He began to walk towards John as if he suddenly had an understanding. His green saber was raised into the air as John ignited his red saber, blocking the blade of his opponent.
"You are a Sith." The outsider spoke quickly.
"You're not a normal Jedi." John pushed back against the man and unclipped his cloak, letting it fall to the ground.
With his armor revealed to the world, John pulled the black saber off his side and ignited it as well.
He ran and jumped over the outsider, slashing towards his back, but the man blacked it and countered with an upper slash. The man then forced John back, pushing him over a dozen feet through the air.
John landed and skidded across the ground for a moment before stopping. He looked at the man as he stretched his arms and legs.
"I've never had someone who's able to match me."
The outsider raised his saber. "You're the one who's outmatched. Only using one side of the Force, and for conquest."
John stared at him. "Wait..." he stared at the man for a moment before coming to a realization. "...you guys are Je'daii! I'm an idiot!"
John then noticed a very strong burning smell, and stared down at his right arm. "Oh shit."
[Your right arm has been severed.]
'I know.' John looked at his arm laying on the ground and at the distant Je'daii. He picked up his arm and put it to the wound. It slowly began to attach back from him using the Force.
When he moved it, it was completely fine and didn't plop back onto the ground. He reactivated his lightsabers. "You cut my arm off."
The Je'daii shrugged his shoulders.
John began to walk slowly towards him, and the walk turned into a run. He began to swing crazily at the Je'daii, unleashing the anger he was unable to use on the elves.
The Je'daii could only block as he was pushed further and further back.
"This is the end." John said. He then jumped away as the man turned around and saw an LAAT fire at him.
They fired for minutes, kicking up a storm around the Je'daii.
"Did we get him?" The co-pilot asked.
John ran into the dust around the man and slashed tens of times before the smoke cleared.
When it did, a pile of pieces of a once living being laid sizzling on the ground. Next to it, a destroyed lightsaber and a cracked Kyber Crystal.
John then looked at his two guards, who were fending the Je'daii off really well. He lifted one into the air and snapped his arms, before breaking his legs.
He threw him around like a rag doll until he was oozing blood. John could see he was still alive though, and immediately killed him with lightning.
The last Je'daii stared at John and the two guards, as well as the LAAT. They hit a button on their wrist three times and a pod flew past the person, carrying them off.
"We'll chase them, sir." John shook his head to the pilot's statement.
He lifted his hand and using the Force, pulled the pod towards him, slicing it in half with the black saber. The Je'daii hit the ground and rolled a few times before stopping.
They slumped over and John walked over to their body. As he kicked it with his foot, they jumped up and sliced the helmet, cutting it off his head.
"GAAH!!!" John built up a giant storm of lightning and hit the Je'daii, causing them to drop to the ground. He then ran over and removed their head violently.
He moved his cloak over to him and put it on as he flipped the hood over his head. The two Shadow Troopers ran over.
"Are you alright, emperor?"
John nodded as he touched his face. "It's just a scratch." He looked at the trooper.
He had a massive burning scar going down his face and it was still burning, but it slowly stopped.
"Let's go." John grabbed the two intact lightsaber and the cracked Kyber Crystal before he and the two troopers climbed aboard the LAAT and went back to the temple.
His helmet smoldered in 2 pieces on the ground.
