His laugh continued in a low murmer.
"Ah but this is no ordinary army."
He raised another hand and they removed their hoods revealing their faces. All identical, all the same as Bane, except bald.
"You see Sidious made the error of cloning humans whereas I ... I have used myself as the mould. Each of these soldiers has my brilliant skill with a saber, making them almost invincible."

Inara's breath caught in the back of her throat. "This is insane. Why would you do such a thing?" her head shaking in disbelief.

"Because it's madness, for one." Inara replied, looking over at the clone army. "You have a whole planet here, yet you wish to mould yourself on the likes of Palpatine. One isn't enough. Greed and your lust for power will be your downfall Bane. Mark my words."

He shook his head.
"No, I do not wish for power, just the downfall of the Jedi. Once you are gone I will be content."

Inara eyed him suspiciously "Why do I doubt that? I've seen and heard about people like you Bane. Once the power and greed takes hold, it will never let go. You are foolish if you think the Jedi will just let you take over. We have survived almost mass extinction. We are more alive than we ever have been"
Her eyes hardened. "Kill us, it won't matter. The Jedi will sense what is coming"

"Yes, they will sense this but will they be able to stop me?"
He walked over to one and smiled whilest looking at it's statuesque stance.
"I have over three hundred ready for battle, and every day that number will increase. Ships are being built all the time."
He turned quickly and smiled.
"You failed to stop the snowball."

"You will never break our spirits, Sith." Inara began to seethe.
"We will overcome anything you throw at us. A new rebellion will grow amidst your tyranny."

Viree13 senses many disruptions in the Force within the stronghold, and sighs. Should she go in and see what's going on? Or should she just leave this place? A knot of anger suddenly explodes within the fortress, and she senses it is from one of the visiting Jedi, even though she has no real connection with them. Still in the bird form, Viree13 flutters up and over the fortress, searching for the source of the anger. She finds it in a well-secured room, the only outside access being small vents for air. She listens outside the vents, and hears what's going on inside, realizing that the Jedi are prisoners, and that she's probably the only one that knows.......

He grinned and nodded.
"Ah your friend has awoken well I shall leave you at the mercy of my soldiers. You five..." He pointed at five of the robed men holding sabers.
"Kill them. The rest of you with me, we are going to give the Jedi Council a quick meeting."
He began walking further into the temple, followed by fifteen of the clones. The remaining five began to slowly advance, the sabers held verticaly in front of them.

She shook her head again and let her mind roam the room, then recolied in disgust "Clones?" she asked Inara "Well i hope they have the same weackness as thier farther" her saber flew into her hand.

Viree13 hears the order and starts in surprise. Something has to be done quicker than she thought. Slowly her bird form began to melt, becoming like water and dripping through the vent system and into the room.....

Quite a few clones stand, facing one Jedi, and each clone is the exact image of Bane. "Oh.... Shoot...." Viree13's body coalesces and she sprints over to the other Jedi, grinning. "Want some help?....."

Rhodrian didn't even blink "if you would be so kind, i think he's breeding hmself" she grinned chargeing at the Bane clones

Viree13 drops into a crouch as a group of clones races towards her. Twin blue lightsabers appear in her hands, their blades glimmering a dark, sultry blue. She ducks beneath the lightsaber of the first clone and spins, ramming one of her sabers backwards and through the man, blocking his downwards swipe with her other blade. Leaping clear of the body, she whirls to block the next attack, this time from two of them. Viree13 throws up her blades in an 'X', holding the two back long enough for her to send a rush of Force power at them, hammering them backwards and taking out another clone behind them......

(Malrid, I have a question...... If all the clones are equal to a sith Lord's power, then no one stands a chance and fighting them has no point..... Could we perhaps say that in cloning himself so many times, their power has decreased because it has been spread so thinly?.... They would still be powerful, but not ungodly so.....)

Inara eyed the lightsabre as it glowed it's green radiance. She looked over at Rhodrian who had been joined by another that she sensed Force power within.
She flashed a mischevious grin "Well, I've had better days."
Turning to face the oncoming clones "Now, let's see if you're as good as your master claims" and put herself in a defensive stance.
