A God's True Face

After acquiring the HK droid army, Orono tested them in battle. A new threat: the Dread Masters had emerged to conquer the galaxy. While his droids fought off their pawns, Orono engaged the four of them head on. Fire and stone flew from his hands and lightning crackled in the sky as he used every possible attack against them. However the physical toll on Orono was extreme. When another round of attacks failed, the Lord of Pain said,

"How can you be immune to our powers? Have you no fear?"

Laughing, Orono replied,

"You want fear? I'll show you fear."

His helm slid off his face and hit the ground. Where the face of a wizened old man should have been, was a heavily decayed ruin. One side was covered in pale white skin, with twin maggots reaching out of its socket, the other a nest of shrapnel surrounding a faded brown eye. The rest of him was no better, with moth-eaten robes covering a skeletal body with organs long dead. The nails on one of his hands had sharpened to the point of becoming claws. Finally, where blood had once flowed through his veins, only ash and rubble remained.

Showing a surprising level of shock, the Dread Masters asked,

"What are you?"

In a raspy voice, Orono answered,

"The future."

With that, he reached out with his hand and hurled three of the Masters towards him. With five slashes of his cold blue lightsaber, their heads split in two. Energy surged through him as he absorbed the countless souls the Masters had obtained. While the battle was declared a victory, Orono was cautious, as the final Master: the Mistress of Misery was still out there.
