Nal Hutta, 330 ABY
The catacombs of the arena were damp and dark, and the roar of the crowd was well heard overhead. Blood from the previous match seeped through and the crowd roared once more as a voice in Huttese was heard. And there was talk amongst each combatant on who was the most recent to fall. All except one who sat by his lonesome on the ground with his eyes closed as parts salvaged from a blaster he kept on him floated in the air and into place around a green crystal. Clicking was heard and the young man opened his eyes and screwed a few more things into place before pressing a button and a green hued blade sprung out. The combatants looking towards the young man. So what the Gladiators assumed about the young man was right. He was a Jedi Knight.
Pushing the button to stay the blade he looked to everyone and remained quiet, giving a small smile of reassurance to everyone. That was until he heard his name called, keeping his calm demeanor he moved towards the lift that would take him up, and was asked his weapon of choice. To which, Dalik shook his head noting that he would be okay. He was covered, finally he heard Ajax the Hutt announcing the round that the young man would be facing waves of beasts. And the crowd went nuts over the news, they were finally going to see the brute fall and it was going to be bloody. Something the people of Nal Hutta liked to see!
The young Jedi walked to the middle of the arena and calmly waited for the gate to open with the first wave of creatures and as it did; four Nexus crawled out and the man simply smirked. The people were going to be in for a shock when they realized that he wasn’t going down without a fight. The Nexus stood there, as if examining their prey and the man just stood there, finally watching as the Nexu began to charge he raised his hand and forced it back far away. The people gasping in surprise as they saw that this man had been hiding secrets from them ever since he got to Nal Hutta. And upon drawing the lightsaber some began to get a little more intrigued as the man defended himself and dealt with the Nexu’s. Jumping up to where Ajax the Hutt sat he pointed a Lightsaber at the Hutt.
“Your game is over Ajax” the man said “And I believe you have something that the Jedi Order wants” he added in as Ajax seemed to remain calm. The man smiled “I also believe that it belonged to a Jack Valen….my father…” he’d nod before watching as Ajax’s guards attempted to subdue him, only to be met with blaster rounds repelled back at them and being knocked to the ground.
“You will also free those you call your slaves….” he’d demand “per the order of myself….Dalik Valen” the man revealed himself and Ajax merely felt defeat before nodding and giving the Orders. Dalik nodded and left with a holocron, and freeing the slaves kept below. Now he had to face the council.

“You have done well Knight Valen” Jedi Grandmaster Cecelia Rose commented “Even though as your methods were unorthodox as you said, you still managed to retrieve the holocron and you freed the slaves on Nal Hutta” the Council listened and Dalik merely bowed as they gave him the news that he would be called again soon and he may rest.
And Dalik did….
