A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…

Star Wars!

Rise of Darkness.

The sun hides the darkness, but the darkness remains none-the-less.

A conflict as old as time! For as long as history has been written, the Jedi have been the guardians of light and justice in the galaxy, seeking to use their powers to further the cause of good and beat back the creeping evil of their long time enemy. The Sith use the Force to fulfill their personal goals, bashing aside all who would stand in their way with a swing of their mighty fist.

It is inevitable, then, that the two should be locked in combat; however, things are not always so simple as they appear. The sun is bright on the galaxy now, but the darkness always waits for those that are unwary…

(End Crawl. Begin Narration)

A conflict as old as time! For as long as history has been written, the Jedi have protected the universe; however, there would not be guardians if there wasn’t a threat.

The Jedi and Sith enter from opposite sides of the stage. They notice each other, and take fighting stances.

The Sith care nothing for the good of the universe. They care only about the good of themselves, and they don’t take kindly to anyone that gets in their way. Darkness meets the Light, and the fight begins.

Jedi and Sith start to fight! After an epic and drawn out encounter, the Jedi utterly vanquishes the Sith with death. The Sith falls on the ground, writhing in agony. The Jedi deactivates his lightsaber and then serenely looks down at his fallen opponent.

The battle is over. It could only ever end one way. The light has overcome the darkness and all is peace.

The Jedi starts to walk away, but the Sith reaches for him from the ground.

“No!” The fallen Sith snarls. “I hate…!”

But he falls, one with the force.

Sith falls back, dead. The Jedi leaves the stage.

It is quiet, but as the Jedi leaves, shadows rise to replace them.

Enter the Witch, doing witchy things.

The darkness has been left unchecked, and its hatred calls to others, others who feel hatred themselves, and such great wrath cannot be allowed to lie so still. The shadows writhe, the universe recoils, and Darkness is reborn, with Ultimate Power!

The Witch resurrects the Sith. Both posture a bit and might fight if they’ve got one.

The light has begun to dim, and now the Darkness rushes after it, ready to destroy anything that dares to keep it in check.

Sith and Witch race off the stage in the direction the Jedi went.

Enter Jedi, doing Jedi things.

The Jedi go about their business, unknowing that twilight is rushing down upon them!

Enter all Sith. Jedi are surprised. Everyone takes battle stances.

The battle begins!

All Jedi/Sith fights go off here, with the Head Sith winning all his fights until only the first Jedi and Head Sith are left standing.

The Jedi is surprised, but darkness is darkness and a Jedi fears it not. If an old threat will show its head again, it will be meant unflinchingly.

Head Sith VS First Jedi, and the First Jedi runs him through after rehashing combat.

“And so it ends!” The Jedi declares. “You are dead!”

But it is not so simple, as the Sith pulls themselves up the Jedi’s blade. The light shrinks, for what treachery is this?

“You cannot kill what is already dead,” the Sith whispers, and then the light is snuffed out.

Sith kills the Jedi, then stands and looks across the crowd.

The Jedi have fallen, the sun has set, and now darkness reigns. Look out light, living. The darkness has made a mockery of you and, now, it will make you dead!

The Sith leaps into the crowd, laughing maniacally and chasing people or just running through the crowd in an eerie manner.

Music swells as all make their way back to the stage.
