Cue Star Wars theme music.

It is a year after the death of the Dark Lord Tak'a-Tamen. The young Jedi Knights have grown powerful, strong and confident in their abilities. The lad Daniel Masaki is thirteen years old, yet many great skills under his belt. He and his friends, Eamonn Jarlath, Odcal Qoda, and Erik Johnson have grown very close together, and when the foursome enter combat, they fight as one and the underworld whisper their names in fear.

Now, they are about to embark on yet another journey, one that will take them far across the galaxy and through many dangers. A journey, that will take them ever closer to becoming...Jedi Knights.

I stood before the Council with the others. The great Jedi Master has summoned us, perhaps for a mission that will have need of our skills.

"As you may know, your father has spent months trying to track down elements of Chudda the Hutt's crime organization: the Black Sun." Master Elendil began, speaking especially to me. "His latest journeys have taken him to many different worlds, trying to figure out where the Hutt's headquarters is. His latest forays have had him coming close to the headquarters, but it will take some more time to reveal it. However, there is another problem."

He switched on a hologram, revealing a world that has more brown than blue. "This is Klatooine. A Republic world, it has recently gotten into a trade dispute against it's neighbor system Grayson that is nearing armed conflict. The two nations have asked the Jedi to mediate between them to resolve this crisis. Therefore, I ask you four to go and help mitigate the situation before it gets worse. A transport will be waiting for you in the hangar bay. I will expect a report from you when you get back. May the Force be with you."

"and with you, Master." We bowed.

"Dismissed."

The four of us walked out, heading for the hangar bay.

"So what do you guys think of the situation so far?" I asked.

Lord JWolf is looking for the Black Sun with Daniel‘s dad. I hope he is fine. thought Erik as he walk down with guys.

"I don't know. After running into the Dark Lords anything can happen." said Erik.

OOC: Where is Andrew at?

OOC: Tatooine, where else? :D

"I don't know. After running into the Dark Lords anything can happen." said Erik.
"Yeah. You have a point there, Erik." I said, my arms resting behind my neck. "Seems like things are getting nasty these days..."

David was walking through the Academy and just randomly stopped to talk to some of his students. He was a well liked teacher because he taught the "cool" subject for prepubescent and teenage boys, demolitions. He then walked up to his apprentice, Odcal Qoda, and talked up a storm and thought, Dang! I'm getting old. I mean, my second apprentice nearing the time of knighthood, and my third child is learning use of the Force...I have got to take a vacation.

David then passes his adopted daughter who is a werewolf (she changes when she wants to, not during a full moon), Mlasha, in the hallway. She was getting proficient in the Force and everything was all fine and dandy. That's what was wrong, NOTHING WAS HAPPENING! This can not be true, peace? I mean, for one who loves the fight, peace is bad...but good for the order...David reminded himself that he was a peacemaker first. Failing at that, he was a Warrior who was feared throughout the galaxy.

David then walked to the Council chambers and passed his son, Michael, on the way there.

"Hey Mike. Can you cover for me in class today?" David asked.

"Sure dad. I was going to help V'Bacca clean his V-wing today, but he said that could wait if it had to." Mike replied.

"Thanks son. You're a lifesaver! I have to meet with the council." David replied while running off. He got to the Chambers three minutes later and saw Daniel Masaki leave.

Hmm, that boy is stronger than I could ever hope to be in the Force. I hope he uses it wisely. David thought.

"Ah...David...I'm glad you're here!" Master Elendil stated, "We have an assignment for you. It's your type, deep in enemy territory and uberdangerous. We need you to investigate the Black Sun's activity on Klattu. It is a small trading colony about five parsects from Corusant. We believe that the Black Sun is running a covert operation for training a new military force to overthrow the Republic."

"Oh...I thought you were going to give me something interesting. Not the same stuff that we've been doing for the past year. I know its all been dangerous, but there's not as much risk as I would prefer." David replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"This is something perfectly up your ally. Its new. They might even have a Sith training base there." Master Elendil said bluntly.

"OY...VEY!" quipped David in his rabbi impression.

"Yeah. You have a point there, Erik." I said, my arms resting behind my neck. "Seems like things are getting nasty these days..."

"Yeah." said Erik.

Daniel Freeman and the twins of Lord JWolf's knights are by the ship that Daniel and Erik are going on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lord JWolf walks in a bar called Suoivaj Haven in Mos Eisley,Tatooine. The bar owner is Javious the Great.

Lord JWolf walk up to the bar. Lord JWolf look like he just came from the Wild West.

"Need to talk Javious." said Lord JWolf will his head looking down.

"Who are you?" said the bar keeper, Mondo.

"The name is Jason." said Lord JWolf as he looked up.

"Damn, Jason. Didn't know it was you. Follow me." said Mondo.

The men walk up to Javious's office. Mondo knocks on the door.

"Come in." said Javious. The men walk in and Javious said "Good to see you agian, Lord JWolf."

"Good to see, too. Now, I need to talk to you." said Lord JWolf

"Ok. Mondo, leave." said Javious. Mondo left the room and Javious asked "What can I help you with?"

The two men sit and talk.

Master Elendil just laughed. "Well, go on, then David. Your mission awaits."

"They're always off somewhere plotting evil things," Eamonn remarked as he walked with them. "We just have to be prepared for whatever they send our way."

Konas leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes. Boy so much had happened these last years, too much for young minds, he worried for the students, how many of them would fall or turn to the dark side?

He sighed, and shook his head.

"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though their here to stay, oh I beleive in yesterday..." He sang in a beautiful voice as he closed his eyes.

"Klattu?" Cortana asked, "Isn't that the name from an early 20th century movie character? And why are we going to that hell-hole? What exactly is there?"

"Yes, and we're going because we've been ordered to. Just you and me on a deep recon mission. We're going there because we don't know what's there anymore." David replied.

"But twenty years ago, it was virtually lifeless from a nuclear war between the peoples." Cortana screamed.

"Well good. That means that the negative effects would be nil with the right suit. 'Considerate peoples' from all over the galaxy come there to 'rebuild' the place like carpetbaggers in the South after the American Civil War. It wasn't until the Republic came in to help that they got back on their feet, then shoved the Republic out. Remind you of anyone?" David quipped.

"1920's Germany, 1990's Iraq, 2010's France, 2025 China." Cortana listed.

"Exactly what I was thinking. This should prove interesting." David said as his ship, The Outrider took off into orbit and then hyperspace shortly after.

"They're always off somewhere plotting evil things," Eamonn remarked as he walked with them. "We just have to be prepared for whatever they send our way."
I nodded in agreement, then heard someone singing. "Is it just me, or is Master Konas actually singing?"

"Anyway, here we are. Let's see..."

"Oy! Kids!" A Jedi Cruiser pilot called. "You ready?"

"Hey, Ron!" I called back. Ron's a pilot that we've helped flee Black Sun after he exposed several members of the Senate as benefactors of the organization. He's been on the run ever since. "Yeah, we're ready!"

"Well hop on, already! The Bastion isn't going to wait forever!"

We headed up the small ramp and strapped in the passenger seats.

"Hang on, kids!" Ron headed out of the hangar and into the sky. As soon as we were out of the influence of Yavin's mass shadow, we jumped to hyperspace.

"How long untill we're there?" Eamonn asked.

"So, all the info on Chudda the Hutt is on this datapad." asked Lord JWolf.

"Yes, info on who work for that Hutt & ships and other things, Jedi Knight. I did I call you Jedi Master." said Javious.

"Jedi Master. Thanks for info." said Lord JWolf.

"Your welcome. Anything else?" said Javious.

"No but watch yourself." said Lord JWolf as he got up.

"I will, friend. See you around." said Javious.

"See you later." said Lord JWolf as he walk out of the office.

A few mins. have passed and Lord JWolf got on to speeder bike then head toward the location where Andrew is at.

Andrew Masaki watched the scene carefully through his macrobinoculars. A group of Black Sun members have taken over Jabba's old lair and turned it into their own. "Perhaps this time, there will be a break in the case."

----------

Several hours later, the Bastion arrived in Klatoonian space. We fell asleep halfway to the planet.

"Klatooninan traffic control, this is Jedi Cruiser Bastion, requesting clearance to land." Ron radioed.

"Very well. Docking bay 321 is ready for you. The Governor will be with you shortly."

"Oy, kids! Wake up!" Ron said to the sleeping young Jedi. "You got a mission!"

"Huh? Oh. Guys, wake up. We're here." I rubbed my sleepy eyes and woke 'em up.

Lord JWolf stop the speeder behind a rock and walk up to Andrew.

"Andrew, here is the some more info on Chudda the Hutt." said Lord JWolf as he hand the data pad to Andrew.

Lord JWolf look over at Black Sun members. "We found them." said Lord JWolf.

----------------------------------------------

"What? Oh getting up." said Erik.

Lord JWolf stop the speeder behind a rock and head up the Andrew.

"Andrew, here is the some more info on Chudda the Hutt." said Lord JWolf as head the data pad to Andrew.

Lord JWolf look over at Black Sun members. "We found them." said Lord JWolf.
"Ah good." He leafed through the data. "This should be useful."

He replaced it into his pocket. "You ready, Jason? I'm about to go and have a little talk with whoever is in charge over there." He waved at the former palace. Even from this distance, they could see guards manning the front gate.

"Ah good." He leafed through the data. "This should be useful."

He replaced it into his pocket. "You ready, Jason? I'm about to go and have a little talk with whoever is in charge over there." He waved at the former palace. Even from this distance, they could see guards manning the front gate.


"Yeah. What is the plan?" said Lord JWolf as he check his pistols.

"Walk up and ring the doorbell?" Andrew grinned. "Seriously, I want a two-front assault. I take the front, you take the back door. We meet in the middle." He glanced at JWolf's pistols. "Are you sure you won't need your lightsaber?"

"Walk up and ring the doorbell?" Andrew grinned. "Seriously, I want a two-front assault. I take the front, you take the back door. We meet in the middle." He glanced at JWolf's pistols. "Are you sure you won't need your lightsabers?"

"Pistols leave bigger holes. I will only use them if I need too. I will meet you in the middle. And may the Force be will you." said Lord JWolf as he got on the speeder and took off to the back of the building.

He came around and saw two guards. Lord JWolf stop the speed in front of them. He got off on it and walk over to them.

"Who are you?" said one of the guards.

"I'm the Russian Grim Reaper." said Lord JWolf as did a powerful force wave on them. They were throw into the wall at 100 mph. That Force Wave broke every bone in their bodies and knocking their brains out of their skulls.

He open the back door and walk in.

Andrew watched the confusion begin, and rumbled up to the front door with his rented speeder bike.

"Hey! Who are you?" One of the piglike guards asked, brandishing his ax.

"A friend, to see your boss." Andrew said, waving his hand. "He is expecting me."

"Ah, a friend of the Boss." The Gamorrean snorted. "He's expecting you."

"I can come in."

"You may come in."

The other guard opened the door for Andrew, and cloak swishing, he walked inside the cool corridor.

Andrew found two more guys waiting, Toydarians. Problem is, they aren't suspectable to mind tricks.

"Oy! You aren't supposed to be here! Get out before I call the Boss!" The first tapair-snouted alien croaked, pulling out a blaster.

"Sorry, but I have business with your boss!" Andrew caught the two with the Force, and slammed them into wall. The sound alerted other guards who cam running, recognized the Jedi, and opened fire.

Andrew immediately reflected the bolts with his green lightsaber, sending them into the wall or into the lowlifes. Calling upon the Force, he ran deeper into the palace, cutting down thug after thug after thug.

Thracken Hennesel, the human Boss of this chapter of Black Sun, was alerted to the Jedi, and sent frantic messages to Chudda and another mysterious person, before destroying the equipment. He was so scared of justice he pissed his pants in the process.

Meanwhile, a mysterious figure who has seen JWolf walk out of Suoivaj Haven decides that the time is right. He walks in, and sits down at the bar.

"Need to see Javious. Tell him it's urgent." He said to the bartender.

Lord JWolf ran into a group of pig like guards. They saw Lord JWolf and ran at him.

"Yall are some dumb***es." said Lord JWolf as he active his lightsabers. The dark blue light came out and the pig like guards stop.

"I hear that Jedi taste good." said one of them.

Lord JWolf cut the first two in half and attack the next two and cut their heads off. The last one ran away for Lord JWolf but was catch by Lord JWolf.

"What do you taste like?" asked Lord JWolf as he bite the guard's neck.

After the body was drained, Lord JWolf said "Taste like pork."

A few mins have passed, Lord JWolf meeting up with Andrew in the middle with blood on his lips.

"Ready?" asked Lord JWolf.

Meanwhile, a mysterious figure who has seen JWolf walk out of Suoivaj Haven decides that the time is right. He walks in, and sits down at the bar.

"Need to see Javious. Tell him it's urgent." He said to the bartender.

"What is your name?" asked Mondo.

"You really are a vampire." Andrew commented on the blood on his friend's lips. "I'm ready."

Andrew noticed better guards as the two approached Thracken's place. He blocked the blaster bolts and sent the guards flying with a flick of his wrist. Soon, he reached the main door...

--------

"Natin Kerna. He'll know me." the man said, smiling.

"You really are a vampire." Andrew commented on the blood on his friend's lips. "I'm ready."

Andrew noticed better guards as the two approached Thracken's place. He blocked the blaster bolts and sent the guards flying with a flick of his wrist. Soon, he reached the main door...

--------

"Natin Kerna. He'll know me." the man said, smiling.

"Yeah. I'm ready a vampire. Had to taste one of those pig people." said Lord JWolf as they head from the main door.

"Going to knock?" asked Lord JWolf.

---------

"Ok. Follow me." said Mondo.

The two men walk to Javious office's door. Mondo knock and they walk in.

Javious was behind his deck with four of best bodyguards in the room.

"What do you want?" asked Javious as he had a Republic DC-15 Blaster Rifle pointed at Natin's legs. The bodyguards are armed with CR-1 blaster cannon.

Mondo walk out of the office and headed back to bar.

The member of Black Sun knew he was going to die. But it didn't matter to him. He was given an order by Chudda, and by Coruscant, he would execute it.

"What do you want?" asked Javious as he had a Republic DC-15 Blaster Rifle pointed at Natin's legs. The bodyguards are armed with CR-1 blaster cannon.

"Sorry, old friend." Natin smiled wickedly as he pulled out a thermal detonator, pressing the button. "Your death is what I want."

-------

"Sure." Andrew stuck his lightsaber into the door and easily cut through it.

A blaster shot rang out and Andrew reflected it. Thracken's blaster was torn from his hand and crushed with the Force.

"Hello, Mr. Hennesel." Andrew sat down on a chair. "I would like to speak with you about a couple of things."

"Oh, really, Masaki. You'd think I would be intimidated by your Jedi skills." Thracken spat. "You're nothing more than a man with cheap parlor tricks--urk--urg." An invisible fist gripped Thracken's throat.

"You think it's a trick of a child's magician now, Thracken?" Andrew asked calmly, then he released the man. "Now, I want answers, and I want them now."

Fear in his eyes, Thracken sang like a canary. "Chudda has been laying low for a while. However, I hear she's porcured some kind of object, plus hooked up with someone dangerous. I don't know what it is, or who the guy is, but I tell you something. He killed anyone who got in his way."

"Interesting."

----------

The governor of Klatooine saw four boys come down the Jedi Cruiser.

"They send children to mediate this dispute?" He asked his aide in contempt. "How foolish."

"Sir, they are Jedi. Look at their lightsabers and their robes." The aide said, her eyes fluttering.

"But still...this'll be too easy." The governor smirked.

You won't think so when they're through with you, Needa. The woman thought. "Just meet with them."

"Fine, fine."

The governor walked up to us. I could see the contempt in his eyes, but he was smooth. "How pleased am I to see you! Come, come. We must talk about the foolish Graysons."

"I'm pleased to see you, Governor." I bowed, and saw the others do so too. "It would be a pleasure to begin the talks."

The governor led us to a limo-speeder where the guard opened the door for us, and we sped off to city hall.

"Sorry, old friend." Natin smiled wickedly as he pulled out a thermal detonator, pressing the button. "Your death is what I want."

Javious hit a button on his desk, blowing the back wall of his office off.

"Everyone out." yell Javious before his desk shot out of the hole. The bodyguards jump out before the TD when off.

Javious's desk hit the ground and he got up. "That damn Hutt." said Javious as the top of his bar was on fire.

On comlink Javoius said "Jason, someone try to kill me. I'm going into hiding for away."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lord JWolf watch Andrew and said "Andrew, that was a little evil."

Then a message came in, "Someone try to kill Javoius." said Lord JWolf.

OOC: You do realize what a thermal detonator is? A mini-thermonuclear bomb without the radiation mess. Your guys be well within the lethal range, or at least very injured.

IC:
"Heh. Sorry." Andrew said sheepishly. "But at least I got what I want. Let the guy live."

A distant sense in the Force came to him. "You feel that?"

OOC: You do realize what a thermal detonator is? A mini-thermonuclear bomb without the radiation mess. Your guys be well within the lethal range, or at least very injured.

IC:
"Heh. Sorry." Andrew said sheepishly. "But at least I got what I want. Let the guy live."

A distant sense in the Force came to him. "You feel that?"

OOC: Javious's bar/club is 3 stories tall and his office is on the top (like a penthouse.). His desk is like a mini speeder car. The bodyguards are in Bobo Fett-like armor that have jet packs on them. But all of the top floor is gone and half of the second floor is gone. I want a space battle again the Hutt fleet.

IC:

"Yeah. What is it?" said Lord JWolf.

OOC2: Going to bed.

OOC: Now that I think about it, that was a pretty cool getaway. *makes mental note to use some Dark Jedi next time*

IC:
"Didn't you say your friend was almost killed." Andrew said. "I must have sensed that just now."

OOC: Now that I think about it, that was a pretty cool getaway. *makes mental note to use some Dark Jedi next time*

IC:
"Didn't you say your friend was almost killed." Andrew said. "I must have sensed that just now."

OOC: I know. It is going to be hard to find him.

IC: "Yeah. He said he was going into hiding" said Lord JWolf.

"Oh. Good thing he survived." Andrew said. Then he looked at Thracken. "What should we do with him?"

OOC: There's definitely a space battle in the works, somewhere.

"What should we do with him? I could turn him into my slave. By only drain him half way." said Lord JWolf showing his fangs off.

Oh boy...

A dark robed figure stood in a back alley. He'd been there for two days now, waiting for something, or more accurately, someone. And that someone had arrived. He felt that someone's presence.

Daniel Masaki...

Sighing, the figure leaped up into the air, and landed on the roof to the right of him. Grunting, he peered over the wall and spotted Daniel with three others. One of them, he saw, was Erik.

Ah, so the little dude has his friend Erik with him...I wonder wha-...ah! They're mediators! This is better than I expected...

The figure grinned, and then produced a a bazooka of some sort. Closing his eyes, he raised it to the sky, and pulled the trigger...

...And a glowing gold orb shot out of it. Hurtling through the air, it slowly started to glow more. And then, it landed in front of the four Jedi...

Erik jump back and pulling the other three will him by using the Force.

"Now, who did that?" yell Erik.

"Wha--" I froze as the orb was arced in front ot us. Erik grabbed me.

Is it a bomb? Who-- I noticed a presence. A dark presence. On the roof!

"In the end, all you have is yourself!"

It was something that Avon had heard a frieghter captain tell his first mate during a game of poker the previous week. They always met at the Hyperion bar once a week for a semi-friendly game of poker. On the odd occasion things got a little out of hand and one of the other punters ended up with a chair accross his head. Even rarer was a punter actually getting killed, but that hadn't happened for at least a month now.

This week was obviously going to be different. The freighter captain and his first mate were well over an hour late and since they were never late, Avon had to assume something had happened to them. He had barely touched his drink but decided to down it all in one go. It was a pity they hadn't turned up, Avon had spent ages marking his cards.

It was raining in the small city on the planet Chai-Sasha and Avon made no attempt to shelter himself from it. He walked down the busy night streets, his footsteps spashing the water on the ground. Everywhere people were running between shelters, holding papers or cases above their heads in a vain effort to keep dry. Avon rounded a corner, which was where he was suddenly grabbed by a large burly figure. Avon felt himself being pulled into a dark allyway and pressed against the wet wall. He could feel his assailant's warm breath on his face,

Avon: "Simply asking for my wallet would be far more subtle and far less likely to draw attention."

His voice was not that of a man who feared for his life, but that of someone who had witnessed so many dark horrors that nothing could phase him. A familliar voice came from the shadows and Avon squinted his eyes to try to see who it was. He recognised him as soon as he walked into the light,

Avon: "Mordan."

Mordan: "I'm glad you remembered Avon. It's a pity you haven't remembered our little agreement."

Avon: "I seldom rush a job which involves kidnapping and extortion."

Mordan: "Oh yeah? Well my client is getting impatient and wants results soon."

Avon: "If your client wants the job done quickly, she can do it herself. If she wants it done properly she'll wait like everyone else does."

Mordan sniggered halfheartedly. He was smoking a thin cigar and had dropped it to the wet ground as he moved closer,

Mordan: "My client isn't just 'anybody else'. She has already given you a substantial pre-payment and he has yet to see any results. Now, I can't leave here until I hear you say that you have given the job your top priority. Otherwise my friend here will have to break your arm.

Avon smiled in the only way he knew how and that was only at his own superiority,

Avon: "That would prove impractical as not only would it be uncomfortable for me, but it would reduce my effectiveness thus leaving me unable to complete my task. I'm sure your client wouldn't look on you too kindly if she found out that you had hampered my effeciency."

Mordan: "Cute. Is that the best thing you can come up with?"

Avon's gaze never wandered from Mordan's eyes as he replied,

Avon: "How about a bullet in the back of your head?"

Mordan's smile disappeared when he felt the cold metal of a gun barrel against the back of his neck. He eyed his colleague who nodded and released Avon,

Mordan: "You're making a mistake Avon!"

Avon: "It wouldn't be the first," he straightened his jacket, "tell your client that I always deliver and that if he sends anymore amatures like you after me then the deal will be off."

Mordan felt the barrel press harder against him. He winced slightly at the discomfort and nodded. He turned to his colleague,

Mordan: "Let's go."

They walked off into the busy street, trying to shelter themselves from the rain. Avon watched them go,

Avon: "You should have been here sooner," his voice was calm but his irritation was evident. He turned to his accomplice, "where were you Villa?!"

Villa was the timid type. The sort of person who always felt he was in the wrong place at the wrong time,

Villa: "It's dark out here, you didn't really expect me to stand here on my own? I could have been mugged."

Unlike Avon, Villa showed his emotions which were nearly always anxiety and cowardly. But he always knew how to get through any lock,

Avon: "You would have been quite safe, you're not important enough to mug." He looked back after Mordan and his associate, "Next time, shoot him!"


OOC: Avon and Villa

"Wha--" I froze as the orb was arced in front ot us. Erik grabbed me.

Is it a bomb? Who-- I noticed a presence. A dark presence. On the roof!

"I don't like this place." said Erik.

There is person on the roof. said Erik to Daniel using the Force

"I don't like this place." said Erik.

There is person on the roof. said Erik to Daniel using the Force

"I don't like it either," Eamonn agreed. "I can feel a dark presence."

"I see him." I said, narrowing my eyes. "Go on to speak with the governor, I'll catch up."

I ran and jumped the walls in the alleyway to get up to the roof.

The orb suddenly jumped up, before making a loud screeching noise. And then.....


*BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

_________________________________________________________________


The figure grinned under his hood, before cursing.

Daniel is making his way to me! Crap!

Grinning, he slapped a sticky on the bazooka, pulled the pin, and then started leaping from roof to roof...

"Shit," Eamonn swore, picking himself up from the ground, having jumped out the way and turned to the other two. "We go speak with the govenor?"

I sensed the bomb explode before it happened. "Guys, watch out!"

The cloaked figure started running and I went after him, jumping from roof to roof.

The governor was angry at this terrorist incident and ordered troops to go after the guy.

Thing is, I could sense something familiar about this guy.

" ," Eamonn swore and turned to the other two. "We go speak with the govenor?"

OOC: The 's exploded mate, I suggest you either get hurt, or jump out the way, you're choice.

"I see him." I said, narrowing my eyes. "Go on to speak with the governor, I'll catch up."

I ran and jumped the walls in the alleyway to get up to the roof.

"Yall two, go see the governor." said Erik as he jump up on the roof. As he landed on the roof, he draw his lightsaber and active it. He saw Daniel jump to the next roof and continue to the next one. He followed him.


OOC: Erik is half Pure Blood Vampire and Dark Elf. He does not have his pointing ears, he will have them when he try 16 years old.

Dammit, when will tha-

Suddenly, the whole building that the figure was on top of blewup spectacularly, sending large pieces of debris crashing down into the street, crushing some soldiers, and cutting the rest off.

Grinning, the figure let the Force flow through him, and then leapt over three blocks worth of buildings, and then bust the roof access door open...

Damn, what is that guy? thought Erik.

He jump a block of buildings and land then said "Where did he go?"

What the hell is he, a terrorist? I saw the building collapse.

Odcal took Eamonn and the two headed to the governor's mansion with some guards.

I finally reached where the figure went, and started to try to use the Force to slow him down.

Erik land on the building where the man land.

Using the Force, he try to find his location of the man.

As he headed back to the goveners mansion, Eamonn hoped that Daniel and Erik would be alright.

Dammit, why does the little dude have to be so persistent?

Sighing, the figure clenched his eyes shut, and repelled Daniel's attempts, instead slamming the attack into Daniel. The figure produced a type-C Thermal Detonator, and set it to blow five seconds after he let go of it. Grinning, he ran to the window nearest to him, used the Force to propell him out of the window, and dropped the detonator. He flew through the ai, and crashed through a window in the opposing building...

Erik saw the figure jump to the next building and he jump over to it roof.

Ran down a few stairs and ran into the man.

"Freeze." said Erik as he send a Force lightning at the man.

"Can't mate!" the figure replied, holding his hand out. The lightning hit his hand, and bounced back to Erik, knocking him away. The figure grinned, and then started going down the stairs again.

I suddenly grabbed Erik, and jumped the next building before the detonator exploded, destroying the roof.

"Where is that idiot?" I asked, not happy now. I used the Force again, tracking the guy. I have to corner him, fast.

With Erik, I chased after the guy with renewed vigor, soon catching up to him.

Bugger...time for a little more magic...

Grinning, the figure jumped down two flights of stairs, before closing his eyes. Then, instead of hitting the ground, he turned ghostly, and then dissapeared...

"Enough." I said when I spotted him heading down the stairs, and tried telekinetically freezing him on the spot, but missed him by a hair as he disappeared. "Who are you, really?"

I tried to use the Force to track him again.

"What the f***? That was Jedi or Dark Jedi." said Erik as the man disappear.

Then I remembered a time...when my old master Kartion teleported some objects to his dorm room. It looked just like what this guy did...

No...way...it can't be.

OOC: You won't know of this, Wolf.

"Haven't you figured it out already...little dude?" the figure said sinisterly, re-materialising behind them. He snapped out two stun batons, and shocked both of them in the back.

I hopped forward to dodge the stun baton, unleashing my lightsaber, finally facing my old master. "Kartion..."

"When have you turned to the Dark Side?" I asked. "and Why?"

Erik hit the floor and roll on his back.

"Who are you?" said Erik as he had his hand a pocket of his rode. A Bren Ten was in his pocket, it was load with 10mm hollow points.

Then a gunshot was hear. The gun was pointing at the man right knee.

"Oh little dude...why do you think I left the academy during your fight with the Sith? And either way, the Dark has always been better suited for me. Oh wait...your father never told you did he? I Daniel, was son of the Dark Lord of the Sith!" Kartion said, pulling back hood, his red eyes piercing.

He threw both stun batons out of the window behind him, and un-holstered his saber staff...

Kartion merely held the sabre behind him, and using the Force, activated his staff. The bullet hit the bright red blade, disintergrating.

"WHAT?!" I cried. "No way..."

Dad...why didn't you tell me?

"Kartion, Lord JWolf knew your was evil." said Erik as he got up.

"Yes, Tak-a-Tamen's son. Hard to believe, but true nonetheless. Now Daniel, tell your young friends to leave, we need to chat, now." Kartion said, his voice acid.

Andrew headed outside, finished with his mission. He stretched as the twin suns went down.

Suddenly, he realized that Daniel was in trouble, but there's nothing he could do...not now. Daniel...

"What is it?" asked Lord JWolf looking at Andrew.

"Yes, Tak-a-Tamen's son. Hard to believe, but true nonetheless. Now Daniel, tell your young friends to leave, we need to chat, now" Kartion said, his voice acid.
I waved my silver lightsaber idly, wondering what to do.

"Erik. Go back with the others." I ordered. "Now!"

----

"It's Daniel. I think he's fighting someone...powerful." Andrew said.

I waved my silver lightsaber idly, wondering what to do.

"Erik. Go back with the others." I ordered. "Now!"

----

"It's Daniel. I think he's fighting someone...powerful." Andrew said.

"I will be outside. If you need me, I'm there." said Erik as he walk outside.

----

"Can we help? I got a Sith fighter in the hanger. A gift from a friend." asked Lord JWolf.

Eamonn sensed something and left the governers mansion.

"Good little Erik..." Kartion hissed, watching Erik leave.

Andrew shook his head. "Too far for us to help. We have to hope Daniel is strong enough to handle his opponent."

---

As Erik left, I turned my attention back to Kartion.

Eamonn sensed something and left the governers mansion.
"What is it?" Odcal asked, going with Eamonn.

Kartion grinned.

"Well, isn't this nice. Reuniting after all this time, I thought I'd never see you again!" Kartion said laughing.

"So tell me little dude, what are you and your friends doing here?"

"It's Daniel and Erik," Eamonn said. "I think we knew the person they went after."

"Good little Erik..." Kartion hissed, watching Erik leave.

Erik gave Kartion the bird before walking outside.

Andrew shook his head. "Too far for us to help. We have to hope Daniel is strong enough to handle his opponent."

"I hope so, too." said Lord JWolf.

Kartion grinned.

"Well, isn't this nice. Reuniting after all this time, I thought I'd bnever see you again!" Kartion said laughing.

"So tell me little dude, what are you and your friends doing here?"
"Why, we're mediating this trade dispute. You know, Jedi being diplomats and all." I said cooly. "Why, you think it's beneath us or something?"

"It's Daniel and Erik," Eamonn said. "I think we knew the person they went after."
"Oh. That's not a good thing, right?" Odcal asked.

"Is that all you really see here little dude? Some mere Trade Dispute? Bah! I'm only bothered you're here because of what it might do to...affect my plans. I mean really, why would I be here little dude? Vacation? Think again!" Kartion hissed, his eyes turning more laserlike.

"Oh. That's not a good thing, right?" Odcal asked.

"Doesn't feel good," Eamonn replied, Soon they found Erik. "Erik whats going on?"

"Is that all you really see here little dude? Some mere Trade Dispute? Bah! I'm only bothered you're here because of what it might do to...affect my plans. I mean really, why would I be here little dude? Vacation? Think again!" Kartion hissed, his eyes turning more laserlike.
"Oh, please. Don't tell me you're trying to play the role of Palpatine." I sneered. "Sometimes I wonder why my old Master would dare show his face again."

"Doesn't feel good," Eamonn replied, Soon they found Erik. "Erik whats going on?"

"Kartion is the one that try to kill us. Nobody goes up there. Daniel will call me, if he need us." said Erik.

He cleared his mind and send a message to Lord JWolf. Kartion.

----------------------------------------

"Karton. He is on the planet with Daniel and the others." said Lord JWolf out loud.

"Kartion?" Eamonn said, almost gasping. "You're joking, right?"

"Kartion is the one that try to kill us. Nobody goes up there. Daniel will call me, if he need us." said Erik.
"Master Kartion?" Odcal asked, disbelieving. "I thought he left the Academy a year ago."

"What!?! That shriveled old prune? He let the Dark Side feed on him. No Daniel, I'm having a bit of fun, and anyway, to quote the Imperial Fighter Corps.: 'Those who dare, win!'" Kartion retorted.

"And look at you. You still aren't a Knight, you weak morsel! Although...I can't blame you I suppose, the Masters were always weak back at the academy, I suppose it's your father alone that kept you up to this level. Tell me, little dude, how's your father anyway?" Kartion asked, grinning deeper.

"Master Kartion?" Odcal asked, disbelieving. "I thought he left the Academy a year ago."

"Yeah but his dark secret. He is the son of that Warlord." said Erik.

"What!?! That shriveled old prune? He let the Dark Side feed on him. No Daniel, I'm having a bit of fun, and anyway, to quote the Imperial Fighter Corps.: 'Those who dare, win!'" Kartion retorted.

"And look at you. You still aren't a Knight, you weak morsel! Although...I can't blame you I suppose, the Masters were always weak back at the academy, I suppose it's your father alone that kept you up to this level. Tell me, little dude, how's your father anyway?" Kartion asked, grinning deeper.
"Oh, he's fine." I said. "Fine enough to deal with you once he finds out who you really are."

"And you call me weak?" I laughed. "Who dealt with your father?"

"Karton. He is on the planet with Daniel and the others." said Lord JWolf out loud.

"I should have known." Andrew narrowed his eyes. "Come, we must go to them. If we hurry, we might just make it."

Andrew began walking briskly to a docking bay which held his X-wing (doesn't have an astromech socket). He soon took off with it.

"Warlord, not Tak-a-Tamen?" Eamonn then asked. This was not sounding good. "His son was at the academy?"

"The warlord's son?" Odcal asked incredulously. "I have a bad feeling about this."

"Oh he knows Daniel, he knows. He was the one who almost completely redeemed me. But of course, he failed, which I'm sad to see. You're father was always the one to set things right for good. In fact, I still hold your father highly. I hope to see him again soon..." Kartion replied, starting to pace.

"Oh, you'll see him. Sooner than you think." I said, beginning to circle him.

"I should have known." Andrew narrowed his eyes. "Come, we must go to them. If we hurry, we might just make it."

Andrew began walking briskly to a docking bay which held his X-wing (doesn't have an astromech socket). He soon took off with it.

"I will be on your six all the way." said Lord JWolf as he jump into the Sith fighter.

Lord JWolf's Sith Fighter was behind Andrew's X-Wing.

"Warlord, not Tak-a-Tamen?" Eamonn then asked. This was not sounding good. "His son was at the academy?"

"Yeah. Warlord Tak'a-Tamen." said Erik.

"I look foward to it Daniel." Kartion replied, and he starting circling, standing opposite to Daniel.

"Shit," Eamonn swore. "And they never thought to tell us that?"

"I look foward to it Daniel." Kartion replied, and he starting circling, standing opposite to Daniel.
He's powerful, but I can hold my own. I thought. Just long enough...

---

"Well, maybe the Masters didn't know just how dark Kartion is." Odcal said.

---

Andrew made the jump to lightspeed at flankspeed, hoping to reach Klatooine quickly.

"S***," Eamonn swore. "And they never thought to tell us that?"

"I don't think anybody knew it." said Erik.

Lord JWolf's Sith fighter enter lightspeed after Andrew enter it.

"So tell me Daniel. Are you angry? Do you hate how powerful I've become? Do you not want to come over to me, cut me open, and rip out my insides? Because if you do, go ahead little dude! I look foward to it!" Kartion taunted, before grinning a bit deeper, and then laughing.

Eamonn sighed. "Maybe," he shrugged. "I thought they knew everything?"

"So tell me Daniel. Are you angry? Do you hate how powerful I've become? Do you not want to come over to me, cut me open, and rip out my insides? Because if you do, go ahead little dude! I look foward to it!" Kartion taunted, before grinning a bit deeper, and then laughing.
"Not angry. Just disappointed in you. I thought I knew you." I said neutrally. "But I was wrong."

I struck first, testing his defenses.

Eamonn sighed. "Maybe," he shrugged. "I thought they knew everything?"
"They're Jedi Masters, not gods." Odcal said. "Great, but not perfect."

"You kind of did Daniel. It was...my more presentable side. But hey, people die, people change, it's all part of life." Kartion said.

Grinning, his staff chashed with Daniel's sabre. Kartion shoved the sabre away, and then swung out at Daniel.

Eamonn looked over at him. "Gods are not perfect either," he replied.

"You kind of did Daniel. It was...my more presentable side. But hey, people die, people change, it's all part of life." Kartion said.

Grinning, his staff chashed with Daniel's sabre. Kartion shoved the sabre away, and then swung out at Daniel.
I blocked the blow, and then began the duel in earnest, lashing out with my silver blade.

---

"Heh, really?" Odcal laughed.

Kartion went on the defensive, blocking every blow, until they interlocked. Kartion's eyes glinted.

"Impressive," Kartion said, before knocking the silver blade away from him, and booting Daniel in the stomach, making him fall down the stairs, "Most impressive..."

"Ugh!" I fell down the stairs, but I righted myself and landed like a cat. "Heh. Is that the best you can do?"

I readied for another assault.

Eamonn grinned, "Nothings perfect," he shrugged. "Do you think Daniel will need us?"

Eamonn grinned, "Nothings perfect," he shrugged. "Do you think Daniel will need us?"
"If he does, we'll know." Odcal said.

"No no little dude, I'm going easy on you..." Kartion hissed, before grinning. Slowly, he started to rise off the ground...

"If he does, we'll know." Odcal said.

"Odcal is right. He will call us, if he need us." said Erik.

"I'm just not comfortable with waiting," Eamonn admitted.

"No no little dude, I'm going easy on you..." Kartion hissed, before grinning. Slowly, he started to rise off the ground...
"Ok...what'cha doing now?" I asked, prepared for anything.

Erik open the door and said "Is that better?"

"Think Yavin my friend..." Kartion said. Behind Daniel, a dark vortex started. The clouds thundered so strong that the building shook. Sighing, the voretx grew, pulling at stray objects on the ground...and...at Daniel...

"What is going on?" said Erik as the building shook.

"Wait a minute, I'm a lightweight!!" I said, holding my own with my telekinesis as the wind grabbed at me. I sliced objects that got too close, and pushed them towards Kartion, hoping to break his concentration.

"I don't like this," Eamonn said, looking around. "What's Kartion doing?"

Kartion smiled. The vortex grew with every particle it took in, and soon, railijngs on the stairs were squeaking. A few objects were pushed to Kartion, but he merely sliced the up into tiny shards, and sent them back to Daniel, hoping to injure him.

"He is playing with a storm." said Erik.

"A vortex I think," Eamonn replied.

"Yeah. I think it's a good thing we're outside, is it?" Odcal asked, noticing a dark sky.

----

Meanwhile, I had a hard time keeping my feet on the ground and put up a Force Shield against Kartion's shards.

I'm definitely am not having a good day today! I thought.

Just as Odcal finished, the sky lit up, and lightning came down, one bolt right next to him. And then came the thunder, shaking the ground...

"I'm not so sure about that," Eamonn told him.

"Everyone inside, now." yell Erik as he enter the building.

"Gaah!" Odcal dodged the lightning. There was a choice now, risk a lightning bolt, or risk getting caught in the vortex.

----

"Oh crap!" The vortex grew stronger and I had to grab a railing or risk getting sucked in.

Suddenly, a bolt came down, and hit the building, debris exploded, piling up in front of the entrance. And then, the rain started...

"Guys, head back to the mansion. I will find away out." said Erik.

"Right," Eamonn replied. "Come on Odcal."

"All right." Odcal said, and started running back to the mansion with Eamonn. It was a very powerful storm, and the young boys would had trouble with the gale-force winds and heavy rain, not to mention CG lightning.

CG = Cloud-to-Ground

The powerful storm made it hard for Eamonn to run back to the mansion. He wasn't sure what they were going to do once they got there, but he decided to leave that until they got there.

The Doctors could do nothing more for him. Justin lay on his bed in the rest chambers at the academy. Armas was sitting beside him, trying to keep awake. "It is only a matter of time now. All we can do is make him comfortable" the doctors had said. In all things there is an end whether we want it to or not. Justin had lived for countless centuries and that was to maintain his guardian duties against the evil Warlord Tak'a-Tamen. But since he had been dead for a year now, Justin's duties were redundant. He had forefilled his duty the same as Daniel forefilled his destiny when he defeated Tak'a-Tamen.

Life could be so unfair sometimes. You are only needed for a short period and then...

Well, Justin had led a full life, but he had so many regrets. There were so many things that he dearly kept secret, but were almost revealed a year ago. Luckily, no one inquired out of respect. Since Tak'a-Tamen's demise, Justin had slowly faded away week by week and month by month.

He was sleeping soundly, only the warm amber glow of the fireplace provided any light. Justin slowly opened his eyes. He couldn't move much but he could see Armas drifting in and out of sleep himself,

Justin: "Y...you should rest you know," his voice was broken and quiet, "it doesn't do f...for a Jedi Master to s...stay awake."

Erik ran up a couple of stairs and show Daniel & Kartion.

"Yo Kartion, you are creating a big storm outside." said Erik.

"I know, old friend." Armas said. "I know."

"Do you remember, one year ago, when that Dark Lord had tried to tell of a secret? What was it?" He wanted to know. "No matter how bad it is, I should know about it. If only to relieve yourself of the burden to carry it. Justin, no matter what the secret, I'll always remember you as a good friend." Armas said sincerely.

"I know, old friend." Armas said. "I know."

"Do you remember, one year ago, when that Dark Lord had tried to tell of a secret? What was it?" He wanted to know. "No matter how bad it is, I should know about it. If only to relieve yourself of the burden to carry it. Justin, no matter what the secret, I'll always remember you as a good friend." Armas said sincerely.

Justin winced in pain. He had kept his secret for centuries and he knew Armas was wasn't going to give in easily. But more than that, Justin felt that his oldest and dearest friend should know the truth. He believed Armas when he said he would remember him as a good friend,

"Justin: "My s...secret is darker than you can p...possibly imagine." He gulped, trying to keep awake, "L...long before Tak'a-Tamen was banished... H...he was my... ... ... ...my mentor."

Armas could see that Justin was in pain. The end wasn't far now,

Justin: "Armas... ... ...Armas please f...forgive me..." a tear rolled down the side of his weakened face, "I didn't c...choose to guard Tak'a-Tamen's temple... ... ... It was my punishment...."

"I forgive you, my friend." Armas whispered. "Despite who mentored you, you managed to keep with the Light Side all these years, and that is all that matters."

He knew his old friend is about to go, and a tear rolled down his normally stony face. "Go in peace."

"I forgive you, my friend." Armas whispered. "Despite who taught you, you managed to keep with the Light Side all these years, and that is all that matters."

He knew his old friend is about to go, and a tear rolled down his normally stony face. "Go in peace."


Justin smiled as much as he could,

Justin: "T...thank you old friend... " his voice was now a whisper, but he struggled to say more, "...teach Daniel... the ancient ways... ... ... there is... another... ... ..."

Justin's eyes closed and his body relaxed. His head lowered back onto the pillow as his last breath was exhaled.

It was the way of things

It was the way of the force

Peace...

Lord JWolf's Sith fighter has a lot of white line around it.

"Oh no. I heading for the light." said Lord JWolf.

Master Elendil placed a hand on Justin's forehead as the man became one with the Force and wept for his loss.

----

I nearly lost my handhold in the shock of Justin's death, losing my concentration momentarily. I quickly regained concentration and held on tight, my knuckles growing white.

OOC: Justin's death will only affect those closest to him: Armas and Daniel.

Lord JWolf's Sith fighter has a lot of white line around it.

"Oh no. I heading for the light." said Lord JWolf.
"Is there a problem, Jason?" Andrew asked, as they neared Klatooine.

"Is there a problem, Jason?" Andrew asked, as they neared Klatooine.

"Got a little bored. How far, now?" said Lord JWolf.

"Got a little bored. How far, now?" said Lord JWolf.
"Not far now." Andrew said.

"Not far now." Andrew said.

"Good." said Lord JWolf.

OOC: Getting off. Core, you can post the landing of Lord JWolf's sith fighter and Lord JWolf will be with Andrew, where ever he going.

David had landed on the ship and had already marched 125 miles to the snipe point with his ghuille suit on, his rifle over his shoulder, and Cortana just bugging him thru his helmet's comm system.

"Cortana! Give it a break. Not every danged rock is interesting, nor every tree important. Could you please shut up and play yourself in chess or cards or something!" Geeze!" David nearly shouted.

"But that is impossible. I would already know my own chess strategy and therefore counteract it before it begins. Then my own strategy would not be used and the whole cycle would start again." Cortana buzzed.

"Ok then. JUST SHUT UP!"

"Well that was rude of you..." Cortana said before she was stifled.

"Shh." David hushed her, "We're here." And boy were they ever. They were just one and a half miles from the base. They could see almost everything and David started to veg out his suit while Cortana took care of the active camoflage. Now David was completely invisible. He was looking thru his rifle scope and saw some Black Sun members who looked important. He knew this because all the thugs stood at attention before him and others just cowered. David saw this man who he labeled Alpha target using Cortana's memory systems enter a room and exit three hours later from some ssort of meeting. He couldn't hear what was going on because he was 2000 yards out of range. David continued to observe the rest of the "base". It was just no more than a bunch of tents, rag-tag trainees using sticks in place of blasters, and instructors who looked like they flunked thug school. This would be interesting.

In a far corner of the galaxy, on a planet called Onderon, Christopher Masaki meditates. Onderon is a planet that has once been a battlefield between the Jedi and the Sith. Now, it is a quiet world, far from the Inner Rim, far from the battle that raged between apprentice and master.

He is one of the few who could sense who sneaks up on him now. "Alex. It has been forty years."

"Indeed." Alex Masaki came out of the shadows. "Sometimes I wonder how it would have been if I stayed."

"The boy would certainly not have been quite as strong as he is now." Chris said. "But now, there is a great disturbance in the Force."

"I have felt it, Christopher." Alex said quickly.

"I know you have." The slightly younger man smiled. "In all your years as a Dark Master, slaying innocents and staining your hands, I have always been astonished how bright your heart remains now."

Alex waved it away. "Many will not see it that way."

"True, but the family does, and that's what counts."

Alex then sat on a rock. "Chris, the disturbance we've felt. It's very powerful, and deep. One wonders if the boy would be strong enough to stand against the coming storm."

Chris' smile grew wider. "Do not underestimate a Masaki. Especially one as young, and yet as strong as Daniel."

Alex chuckled. "Right. I shouldn't have forgotten that. We must guide the boy down the right path."

¬_¬ "Like you guided Andrew?"

Alex chuckled nervously, a small drop sliding down his head. "Ok, ok. You guide Daniel. I'll just stand in the shadows and watch the events unfold from afar."

Both men laughed heartedly, their ties mended after all these years...

David watched the camp for more then two hours after the meeting while Cortana was mapping out everything for later use. David saw something that caught his eye. He saw a grey uniform with red, blue, and other colored devices. This was an Impearial officer, a Moff by the looks of it. Now what was a Moff doing on some halfway done hell-hole like this.

"Cortana." David whispered, "Inform the Council of this guy. Also ask them for permission to fire."

"Done deal. The council will be able to reply to you in ten minutes on that. I'm not saying that they are, but they can. Until then, don't lose him." Cortana chimed in.

Master Elendil placed a hand on Justin's forehead as the man became one with the Force and wept for his loss.

----

I was nearly blown off my feet into the vortex when I felt Justin die, losing my concentration momentarily. I quickly regained concentration and held on, pushing myself towards the center.

OOC: Justin's will only affect those closest to him: Armas and Daniel.

Kartion grinned, "He doesn't know this is a Force Storm...no matter, this'll further my plans all the more..."

In less than a minute, the silver blade of Daniel's lightsabre dissapeared into the vortex. Sighing, Kartion relaxed a bit, and the entrance to the vortex (on Klattoine) sealed up, meaning that Daniel would have to risk going out the other side, and who knew where that lead...

"There, now there's only one way out Masaki!" Kartion shouted, before turning to Erik.

"Don't you think I know that, Erik? This is a Force Storm! And what are you doing here? You're supposed to be outside!!!"

"Well Cortana? Do I have permission to shoot?" David asked.

"No word from the Council. I would assume so because we can't very well follow him into hyperspace. Or ship is over 100 miles away and we'd have to travel that on foot. Keep on observing him and shoot is he tries to leave." The construct replied.

"Ok...He's leaving the compound now...heading fo his ship...Cortana. Range?"

"2650 meters."

"Wind?"

"7.13 knots all around."

David took this information in and fired. The Moff's head exploded two seconds later. The Sith protecting him looked startled. David then began killing them off as well. Soon, everyone had taken cover and David changed his position. He killed five more this way. He was running low on ammo and the Black Sun trainees had taken it upon themselves to charge and find the sniper. One popped up and was shot like a ground hog. The trainees saw the muzzle flash and headed his way. David took down ten of them before he ran out of ammo. Now the rest of the academy decided to come after him seeing the first party destroyed save one member. They probable figgurred he was out of ammunition, and they were right. David just sat still, hoping they'd walk by, but not on, him.

Kartion grinned, "He doesn't know this is a Force Storm...no matter, this'll further my plans all the more..."

In less than a minute, the silver blade of Daniel's lightsabre dissapeared into the vortex. Sighing, Kartion relaxed a bit, and the entrance to the vortex (on Klattoine) sealed up, meaning that Daniel would have to risk going out the other side, and who knew where that lead...

"There, now there's only one way out Masaki!" Kartion shouted, before turning to Erik.

"Don't you think I know that, Erik? This is a Force Storm! And what are you doing here? You're supposed to be outside!!!"
"Oh yeah, Kartion well--oh crap!" The railing broke off and I felt myself get swallowed bye the Force storm to who knows where! "Waaaaaaaah!"

"Too late." Master Soloran chuckled as he saw through the Force that David shot the guy. "Should have told him to apprehend him...oh well."

David, next time you find a guy like the one you just shot, bring him in alive.

The night life on Nar-Saddar was more than active. Bars, casinos, clubs and even sports halls lit up the night sky with signs that virtually screamed, "COME IN AND ENJOY YOURSELF!"Avon fell for none of it. There were times where he had to pry Villa away from the many strip club windows, and even then he nearly came close to threatening him with a gun,

Avon: "Come on Villa, we have no time for that!"

Villa: "Oh but we hardly ever get any real breaks. Can't we just stop off for half an hour?"

Avon: "Not in there we won't!"

Villa: "Your problem is that you're too selebate. You should try to relax a little..."

Avon: "It is difficult to relax in a place where the species on show eat their mates after sex!"

Avon's composure as always was cold. Villa however, gulped,

Villa: "...eats?"

Avon: "Come on!"

Thirty minutes later they reached a bar with an impressive view from the top of a vally. Below them were more lights and more sounds that stimulated the mind. Villa wasn't too impressed,

Villa: "So this is your idea of a good club is it Avon? I know a lot of other places I would rather be at."

Avon: "We are not here to enjoy ourselves Villa," replied Avon sitting down, "I'm meeting a contact."

Villa: "Then why have you dragged me here?"

Villa's winging was starting to irritate Avon,

Avon: "As always so you can wait out the back. And this time, keep your eyes open."

Villa huffed and disappeared out the back. No sooner had he gone, than a woman sat down with Avon,

Avon: "Your timing as always is impeccable."

Woman: "I have the information you wanted,

Avon: "About the Core prince?"

Woman: "Him and his brothers."

Avon appeared confused for a moment,

Avon: "Brothers?..."

Woman: "Yes. Aside from himself, Daniel has some younger siblings. Anyway..."

Avon: "This might be tricky,"

Woman: "Not if you follow this information correctly." She shifted forward in her seat to get closer, "Daniel Masaki is the heir to the Core throne and has been tutored by some of the most highly respescted Jedi Masters in the galaxy."

Avon: "Anyone I know?"

Woman: "Master Armas Elindil... and Master Justin."

Avon: "Justin? Justin who?"

Woman: "I don't know. But I do know that he was the one who defeated the warlord Tak'a-Tamen a thousand years ago."

Avon: "I know I heard the story." Avon sat back, revelling in his own superiority, "Tak'a-Tamen was the most powerful and evil being in the galaxy until he was defeated and banished into the dark temple on Tentenerikis V. He was awakened a thousand years later when the temple was disturbed by the Imperial Remnant. After that happened his rampage continued where he joined forces with the Dark lord Alex Masaki and plotted to steal the souls of Daniel Masaki and Eamonn Jarlath."

The woman seemed a little suprised that Avon knew as much as he did and she didn't hide that fact. Avon smiled when he saw this,

Avon: "Tak'a-Tamen lured the Jedi to Tortuga DN where Daniel faced the warlord and defeated him."

The woman was eager to interupt,

Woman: "What a lot of people don't know is that Justin helped Daniel defeat Tak'a-Tamen. He gave of himself so that Daniel would survive."

Avon: "So that would make the Masaki prince a powerful Jedi."

Avon pondered the thought. He knew he had to capture him but it would seem that his task would now become more difficult. Obviously he wouldn't be able to undertake this task on his own,

Avon: "Alex Masaki is still alive?"

Woman: "Yes but he renounced his Sith allegence and has become a force for good."

Avon: "I don't believe that for a second. Alex Masaki was a dark lord for a long time. Everyone knows that the darkside is inescapable."

Woman: "Maybe, but not for this guy."

Avon: "Then I will need to find someone else who was close to Tak'a-Tamen. Someone I can use."...

Andrew sensed the powerful energies of Kartion's Force Storm when he entered the orbit of Klatooine and dove down to the surface, ignoring the protests of the traffic controller. Heavy turbulence rocked the fighter and lightning lashed around it, but Andrew's powerful Force ability allowed him to land close to the battle.

He disembarked, ordering Rocky to stay and watch the X-wing, while he ran to try and help his son.

Inside a darkened room, an even darker vortex opened. For a few seconds, nothing happened, before with a *THUD*, Daniel dropped out...

The night life on Nar-Saddar was more than active. Bars, casinos, clubs and even sports halls lit up the night sky with signs that virtually screamed, "COME IN AND ENJOY YOURSELF!"Avon fell for none of it. There were times where he had to pry Villa away from the many windows, and even then he nearly came close to threatening him with a gun,

Avon: "Come on Villa, we have no time for that!"

Villa: "Oh but we hardly ever get any real breaks. Can't we just stop off for half an hour?"

Avon: "Not in there we won't!"

Villa: "Your problem is that you're too selebate. You should try to relax a little..."

Avon: "It is difficult to relax in a place where the species on show eat their mates after sex!"

Avon's composure as always was cold. Villa however, gulped,

Villa: "...eats?"

Avon: "Come on!"

Thirty minutes later they reached a bar with an impressive view from the top of a vally. Below them were more lights and more sounds that stimulated the mind. Villa wasn't too impressed,

Villa: "So this is your idea of a good club is it Avon? I know a lot of other places I would rather be at."

Avon: "We are not here to enjoy ourselves Villa," replied Avon sitting down, "I'm meeting a contact."

Villa: "Then why have you dragged me here?"

Villa's winging was starting to irritate Avon,

Avon: "As always so you can wait out the back. And this time, keep your eyes open."

Villa huffed and disappeared out the back. No sooner had he gone, than a woman sat down with Avon,

Avon: "Your timing as always is impeccable."

Woman: "I have the information you wanted,

Avon: "About the Core prince?"

Woman: "Him and his brothers."

Avon appeared confused for a moment,

Avon: "Brothers?..."

Woman: "Yes. Aside from himself, Daniel has some younger siblings. Anyway..."

Avon: "This might be tricky,"

Woman: "Not if you follow this information correctly." She shifted forward in her seat to get closer, "Daniel Masaki is the heir to the Core throne and has been tutored by some of the most highly respescted Jedi Masters in the galaxy."

Avon: "Anyone I know?"

Woman: "Master Armas Elindil... and Master Justin."

Avon: "Justin? Justin who?"

Woman: "I don't know. But I do know that he was the one who defeated the warlord Tak'a-Tamen a thousand years ago."

Avon: "I know I heard the story." Avon sat back, revelling in his own superiority, "Tak'a-Tamen was the most powerful and evil being in the galaxy until he was defeated and banished into the dark temple on Tentenerikis V. He was awakened a thousand years later when the temple was disturbed by the Imperial Remnant. After that happened his rampage continued where he joined forces with the Dark lord Alex Masaki and plotted to steal the souls of Daniel Masaki and Eamonn Jarlath."

The woman seemed a little suprised that Avon knew as much as he did and she didn't hide that fact. Avon smiled when he saw this,

Avon: "Tak'a-Tamen lured the Jedi to Tortuga DN where Daniel faced the warlord and defeated him."

The woman was eager to interupt,

Woman: "What a lot of people don't know is that Justin helped Daniel defeat Tak'a-Tamen. He gave of himself so that Daniel would survive."

Avon: "So that would make the Masaki prince a powerful Jedi."

Avon pondered the thought. He knew he had to capture him but it would seem that his task would now become more difficult. Obviously he wouldn't be able to undertake this task on his own,

Avon: "Alex Masaki is still alive?"

Woman: "Yes but he renounced his Sith allegence and has become a force for good."

Avon: "I don't believe that for a second. Alex Masaki was a dark lord for a long time. Everyone knows that the darkside is inescapable."

Woman: "Maybe, but not for this guy."

Avon: "Then I will need to find someone else who was close to Tak'a-Tamen. Someone I can use."...

OOC: I'm available for hire!

Inside a darkened room, an even darker vortex opened. For a few seconds, nothing happened, before with a *THUD*, Daniel dropped out...
I landed unceremoniously on the hard floor with a *thud*. Groaning, I picked myself up and took a look around, hooking my lightsaber to my belt.

---------

Andrew found the building with the Force Storm brewing, and used his powerful abilities to break it and find his old friend and his son.

"Kartion! Daniel!" He yelled. He could see no trace of the boy. "Where are you?"

"Right here Andrew..." Kartion said, appearing behind him, his hood up. His eyes glowed, and he grinned.

"It's been such a long time, hasn't it Andrew?" Kartion said, chuckling.

Eamonn and Odcal made it back to the governers mansion.

"Right here Andrew..." Kartion said, appearing behind him, his hood up. His eyes glowed, and he grinned.

"It's been such a long time, hasn't it Andrew?" Kartion said, chuckling.
"Quite a while." Andrew said coolly. His lightsaber is in his hand, not yet ignited. "Where's Daniel?"

"He got too caught up in current events..." Kartion said, again chuckling.

"He was sucked into my force vortex Andrew."

"He got too caught up in current events..." Kartion said, again chuckling.

"He was sucked into my force vortex Andrew."
"Oh?" Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Then perhaps you can tell me where you dumped him?"

----

I walked around the dark rooms, wondering where I am. The hallways seem a bit cramped, like on a ship or something...

"Now now Andrew, why would I tell you?"

"Well, for one thing, he's my son." Andrew said. "Another thing is, your his mentor. Surely you know where he is."

"Besides, if he's dead, I would know." His thumb was on the trigger of his lightsaber.

Daniel walked up to a door. Thinking it was automatic, he continued walking. It didn't open.

"Ouch! Jeez!" Daniel said, rubbing his head. He felt around, and found the door button. He hit hit...and nothing happened.

"Damn..." Daniel said, before the lights came on. Behind him, a robed figure appeared.

"Welcome, Daniel Masaki."

_________________________________________________________________


"Well yes, of course I know where he is. But the problem is, Andrew, giving him back would interfere in the delicate matters that have...er...arisen here. So no, I'm not going to tell you." Kartion said.

Daniel walked up to a door. Thinking it was automatic, he continued walking. It didn't open.

"Ouch! Jeez!" Daniel said, rubbing his head. He felt around, and found the door button. He hit hit...and nothing happened.

"Damn..." Daniel said, before the lights came on. Behind him, a robed figure appeared.

"Welcome, Daniel Masaki."

"Who are you?" I asked, blinking in the light.

"Who am I?" The robed figure echoed me. "A good question. I was once a Jedi, like you are, my boy. I was once a member of the Order, like Kartion."

"You know him?"

"Do I know him?" He said. "Sure. I know him. He's my new Master."

_________________________________________________________________


"Well yes, of course I know where he is. But the problem is, Andrew, giving him back would interfere in the delicate matters that have...er...arisen here. So no, I'm not going to tell you." Kartion said.

Andrew sighed. "Kartion...please. Don't let me have to fight you. You were my best friend. We met when we were Daniel's age."

"I know, old friend I know. But I can't. Not yet. But hey, I have no reason to hurt the little dude." Kartion said. "Anyway, fighting won't get you any closer to Daniel."

The search parties had finally stopped for David and he started the long march back when Cortana chimed in, Hey David. Why don't I bring the ship back to you since you've lost all elements of stealth. Why not destroy the base here and then you search the wreckage for anything you need here.

"Not a bad idea. Have the ship meet me five miles south of here. I'll be there in about ten minutes since I'm wearing the armor."

Done deal. Cortana said as she brought the ship to bear and David jumped in the air. He finally reached the ship and got in the disruptor cannon's main seat while Cortana flew the ship towards the enemy camp. David brought his weapons online, set it to maximum damage and fired on the unsuspecting initiates. He ended up killing off most the camp in the first shot and killed anyone left in the second salvo. He landed right on the 'campus' and began to sort thru the debris.

"Let's see...gun...porno...sword...datapad...more porn...wait, datapad!" David picked up, read it, and told Cortana, "Let's go back to Yavin. We have what we needed."

"He's your master?" I said coldly. "No wonder why he left. Dumped me like a hot potato...who are you, really?"

"Why, I'm sure your father knows me, somewhat." The man smirked. "I'm Jared Noren."

--------

"I know, old friend I know. But I can't. Not yet. But hey, I have no reason to hurt the little dude." Kartion said. "Anyway, fighting won't get you any closer to Daniel."

"Kartion. Why not?" Andrew asked. "What do you have planned?"

Andrew knew that he will have to do what he can to stop whatever scheme Kartion's planning. If it means to fight him...so be it.

The cold air was getting colder. Villa hated the cold, he also hated being hot. In fact, he hated anything and everything that was uncomfortable and wasn't associated with a drink. He paced the back of the club, watching the view from above the vally and as such, bumped into a pillar. Rubbing his head, Villa reacted by kicking the offending structure, which triggered something. The sound of a stone slab sliding open was very clear and it didn't take long for the curious Villa to find the opening. Anyone on their right mind would likely get some help before walking into the unknown, however Villa was seldom in his right mind. Usually he was busy concentrating on how to stay out of trouble but that never worked. He started decending some stairs. He could see a light in the distance and slowly made his way to it.

The woman slipped Avon the data crystal who then pocketed it.

Avon: "Is there anything else I should know?"

Woman: "Only that Kasandral had disappeared near Klatooine. Whether she is alive or not is anybody's guess."

Avon: "And you're sure that she was the only one who was close to Tak'a-Tamen?"

Woman: "Like I said, that's as much as I know. If she were any closer then she would likely have been his daughter. But she wasn't."

Avon pondered again. He had never considered that Tak'a-Tamen might have had any offspring,

Avon: "Thanks. Your payment is in an isolated account, "he handed her a data chip, "access numbers and codes are all there."

The woman said nothing as she took the data chip and walked out of the club leaving Avon still pondering. He got up and headed for the balcony.

The wind was picking up slightly as he tapped his comm bracelet,

Avon: "Zen, give me all the information you have on Tak'a-Tamen's family history!"

Villa reached the light and slowly peaked around the corner. He could make out two individuals standing around another who was sitting down. He also noticed that the two had lightsabres. The one sitting down was talking to someone over a comm link,

Man: "Please inform Chudda that the delivery will take place on schedule Mr. West. I'm sure he will be pleased with the packages."

Mr. West: "That will remain to be seen. Are the units fully obedient?"

Man: "They have no choice but to obey. The cybernetic implants will repress any rebellious instincts."

Mr. West: "Good. The Jedi will see what defence really means."

Villa was intrigued so much that he almost lost his footing as he tried to get closer. Unfortunately it was enought to alert the two with the lightsabres who ignited them after they spotted him. The Man got up and turned round,

Man: "Don't let him escape!!"

Villa reacted quickly. He reached for his gun and shot at the ceiling which brought half of it down. This was his chance to escape and he ran as fast as he could up the stairs. He could feel his heart beating faster and faster, the adrenline pumping through him. He heard an explosion behind him but didn't dare stop to look. He knew that the two with the lightsabres had broken through the debris and were close behind him. The exit seemed like it was miles away.

Avon had listened intently at what the ship's computer was telling him. Zen was a sophisticated piece of technology, as was the ship Avon and Villa had found adrift when they were escaping the Remnant a few years back. It still held secrets that the pair haven't yet unlocked,

Zen: "In conclusion, the data available would indicate the possibility that Tak'a-Tamen had offspring."

Avon: "Is there a chance that his offspring may still be alive?"

There was a pause as Zen processed the information. That usually meant either 'no' or 'didn't know',

Zen: "There is insufficient data."

Avon wasn't too suprised. It was too much to hope for,

Avon: "Alright. Prepare to teleport Villa and myself."

Zen: "Confirmed."

Villa finally reached the top, but the all too familliar sound of lightsabres activating stopped him, as did the entrance slab sliding shut above him. He froze and slowly turned around. His pursuers smirked as they raised their lightsabres to strike...

Avon searched around the back and still couldn't find Villa,

Avon: "Typical. I tell him to keep watch and he goes off elsewhere, " he tapped his comm bracelet again, "to hell with it. Zen! teleport us both now!"

Villa backed up as much as he could but there was no where to go. The pursuers chopped downward... and hit the ground. Before them, their prey started disappearing in a haze of purple light. They looked on, puzzled.

On board the Liberator, Avon and Villa's forms materialised in the teleport chamber. As soon as they were whole again Avon stepped down,

Avon: "Villa! What did I say before about keeping your eyes open?!..."

Villa interrupted which he seldom did. That meant to Avon that something had happened,

Villa: "Avon, Chudda the Hut... she's getting cyborgs!"

Avon: "What do you mean?"

Villa: "I found a secret passage and followed it down. I overheard a conversation about Chudda the Hutt and some deliveries!"

Avon: "Are you sure?"

Villa: "YESS! From what I heard, she's getting something powerful and by the sound of it, it could be cyborgs!"

Avon's reaction was minimal as he pressed the intercom,

Avon: "Zen. Set a course for Klatooine! Speed; standard by eight!"

Villa: "Your're not taking us there are you?"

Avon: "It's the only place where we can confirm this 'cyborg' theory and where we will likely find an ally."

Villa winged.

"(I am indeed pleased, Mr. West.)" Chudda the Hutt purred in Huttese. Her huge bulk sat on a recliner, but she is quite dangerous still. "(How soon will the deliveries be made?)"

"Not long at all, my Leige." He said. "Within the week."

"(Good. I will be waiting for them.) She turned off the hologram. "(With the device and the cyborgs in my possession, no one will be able to stop me!)"

OOC: Ybronneb's grounded for the moment. Y posted that in the 1st academy thread. And I'm gonna assume Kas said yes to Mike's proposal.

IC: Mike and Kas were both walking on Klatooine together, hand in hand. The two were deeply in love and all that crap that comes with it. Mike was very protective of her. He should be, she was nearly killed with him around at least three times if not more. Added to that, both were trained Jedi and Mike was always armed. Kas on the other hand, neither continued her training nor took orders from the Jedi Council. Mike took a leave from the Academy a little bit back to vacation with Kas. His dad didn't know it, but he secretly had his adopted sister Mlasha fill in for him while Mike was supposed to fill in for David teaching demolitions. Mike knew that someone or something would try and kill Kas again, which is partly why he was here.
-----------------------------

David had just arrived on Yavin 4 and went back to teaching demolitions after he had informed the Council of his destruction of the Black Sun operation as well as their possible Impearial ties.

"Good morning class. I know some of you have seen my daughters. Before you try anything, don't...enough said." David greeted his class of teenage boys, "As a Jedi and Military Veteran of over four years of constant combat, I know many creative ways to kill someone and how to detect deceitfulness. Like Mr. Mullarchy here. He's hiding something from the class. What is it boy?" David lectured as he pointed to a sixteen year old student.

"I think...that...your...daughter's............hot.............." Mullarchy then bolts out of the room, or at least tries as he's kept in by a Force pull while David floats him upward.

"Its ok to think my girls are attractive. Just as long as you don't act on it. Got it buddy?" David states angrily.

"Yes sir." a frightened teenager barely puts out.

"Glad we understand each other. Now spit your gum out on the way to your seat."

Before Lord JWolf could acted Andrew was gone. So, the Sith fighter dove down into the orbit of Klatooine. Lord JWolf's Sith fighter went between hover cars like it was his R1.

There is the Force Storm. thought Lord JWolf.

Using the Force, he land by Andrew's X-Wing. Lord JWolf jump up of the cockpit and look at a window on the second floor. With one jump, he chased into the window and land on his feet. Then walk out of the door and ran into Andrew and Kartion.

"K, what sup." said Lord JWolf. Using the Force Lord JWolf ordered Erik to leave.

Erik took off down the stairs.

David finishes his class and heads back to his room where his wife meets him with his favorite meal, Pasta New Orleans. He loves this dish, and he and his wife talk while his two daughters, Jenna and Mlasha, come in and say "Hi and Bye."

"Where are you going to?" David asks, suspicously.

"To eat dinner with some friends at the commissary then hang around the town." Jenna states rather bluntly.

David's wife nods to him her knowlege of this.
"Ok, but who are these guys." David asks, again suspicously.

"Who said they were guys?" Mlasha rebutted.

"Your clothing. You're more dressed-up than usual. Now, who are these guys?"

"Just some friends...but if you must know their names are Joe Mullarchy and Don Tshling."

"Ah...ask Mullarchy how he's doing after today's demo class. And let's see, Tshling's a boy who grew up in Twilek space, Asian, around 5' 11" and 185 pounds, all muscle."

"That's the two. You know Don?"

"Yeah. He was in my class last year and this semester too."

"Oh, he didn't tell me that." Mlasha said.

"Well, he didn't tell you that he almost blew up the Academy and almost got expelled three times. He's lucky I like him."

The girls went out. David and his wife then had a romantic dinner and afterwards, David sent a holomessage to Commander Hasse and Queen Stefini of New Exodus and Crystal Ireland asking them to come to Yavin.

"Odcal wait," Eamonn called out, he stopped where he was and looked around with a very worried look on his face. "I can't sense Daniel."

"He's your master?" I said coldly. "No wonder why he left. Dumped me like a hot potato...who are you, really?"

"Why, I'm sure your father knows me, somewhat." The man smirked. "I'm Jared Noren."

"Jared...Noren?" I asked. "You're that guy who left the Order years ago! Traitor..."

"Now, now, young Daniel." The older man sneered. "I'm not a traitor. Just a guy who's found his true calling in the Force, under the tutelage of Master Kartion."

"Really? To become shriveled up like an prune when you get far enough in the Dark Side?" I asked, smirking at the thought.

A lightning blast attacked me as he tried to wipe the smirk off my face, but I absorbed the energy with my hands and deflected what I cannot absorb. "Think you can take me on, Jared?"

"Oh, I believe so." Jared attacked with a red blade (sooo cliche these days, I thought).

I met his blade with my silver one, the lightsabers bouncing off each other as they repelled each other like magnets. I parried a low blow and attacked high, while he blocked it and aimed for my other side. The duel begins...

"Odcal wait," Eamonn called out, he stopped where he was and looked around with a very worried look on his face. "I can't sense Daniel."
"Really?" Odcal said. He stretched out with the Force. "Yeah, you're right. I can't sense him either."

"Shit," Eamonn swore. "This isn't good, we have to do something."

"Shit," Eamonn swore. "This isn't good, we have to do something."
"Yeah." Odcal said, then looked up at the sky. "The storm seems to be abating. Let's try and look for him."

Odcal went out, hoping that the Force Storm would have abated by now.

Eamonn went out with him. "I think we should start back at that building," he suggested.

Erik ran up to the back door and looked out. He saw......

Eamonn went out with him. "I think we should start back at that building," he suggested.
"You read my mind." Odcal grinned. He started back for the building, watching the holes the lightning made earlier.

"I fear that vortex might have sucked him in," Eamonn admitted. Up ahead he saw the building.

"I fear that vortex might have sucked him in," Eamonn admitted. Up ahead he saw the building.
"Yeah. No wonder we couldn't sense him." Odcal scratched his head. "But I wonder where he went."

----------

The clash of the lightsabers could be heard if anyone bothered to hear.

I held my own very well, but my duel with Kartion meant that I was a bit drained now.

"Well done, whelp!" The dark apprentice sneered. "You fight well, but you are no match for me!"

"Don't bet on it!" I countered, blocking a blow that would have cleaved my body in half, and then returning a series of strikes that forced him to back up some.

Then he suddenly pushed me back, and charged at me, forcing me to go on the defensive as his anger and rage fueled his attacks. He smiled as he believed that he was winning, but a smirk from me unnerved him...

"Anger betrays you." I announced. I decided not to fight him blow-for-blow, but to use his anger and rage against him. I went with the flow, the Force guiding my actions as I used his momentum against him, forcing him to make mistakes that I can exploit. "Your rage is your weakness, Jared."

He realized too late that his anger and rage will be his undoing...

Eamonn slowly shook his head. "Unfortunately only Kartion will know where he sent Daniel," he said. "We should have stayed with him."

Erik ran down the side alley heading for the front of the building. As he exit the alley, he saw Eamonn & Odcal.

"Guys, over here." said Erik as he ran up to them.

"That vortex only sucked Daniel in. I will close to Daniel but I was not sucked in. Daniel's lightsaber went in and he want in, too." said Erik.

"And one more thing, Lord JWolf and Daniel's father are here. Look over there." said Erik as he pointed at the Sith fighter and X-Wing.

"Shit," Eamonn swore again. At least JWolf and Andrew were now here. "And where's Kartion?"

Erik ran down the side alley heading for the front of the building. As he exit the alley, he saw Eamonn & Odcal.

"Guys, over here." said Erik as he ran up to them.

"That vortex only sucked Daniel in. I will close to Daniel but I was not sucked in. Daniel's lightsaber went in and he want in, too." said Erik.

"And one more thing, Lord JWolf and Daniel's father are here. Look over there." said Erik as he pointed at the Sith fighter and X-Wing.

"Oh, good." Odcal smiled. "Hopefully they'll beat him and stop his evil."

"Kartion is up there with them both." said Erik.

"I hope they find out where he sent Daniel," Eamonn said.

Odcal nodded. "Me too."

"They will. Lord JWolf can get the info on where Daniel is at." said Erik.

Eamonn looked up at the building, he felt angry at feeling so helpless. There seemed to be nothing they could do for Daniel right now, it reminded him of a year ago with the Sith attack on Tortuga DN.

not-so-subtle bump

OOC:
I'll post again tomorrow with the info on the two characters presented here. For now, just know that they are the nominal heads of their respective nations, and are semi-engaged (which is another story entirely that CM, CI, and myself are working on). Also, they are old friends of Master Miles.

IC:
Light-years away, starships from a number of different nations were clustered about, welcoming the American Republic to the galaxy (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=362915&page=1&pp=15). On board the lead New Exodus vessel, Commander Michael Haase and Queen Stefini Weisel of Crystal Ireland lounged in their state-room.

"Well darling, you certainly made a good impression on all those diplomats," Michael said as he pulled the Queen closer.
Stefini giggled and kissed him, "I didn't get to be Queen just by looks, ya know."
"Oh? I thought it had something to do with you mother being the Queen Mother, since monarchies are usu--"
"Shut up," she said playfully.
A chime sounded, and then the anthem of Crazed Marines, signaling an urgent message from former President and current Jedi Master Miles.
"What has David gotten himself into this time?"

Michael stood up slowly, then walked to the terminal on his desk. His brown eyes flickered over the message, then turned back to Stefini.
"We need to get to Yavin. It seems my namesake has run off with a girl."
"My my," Stefini teased, "Doesn't that sound familiar."

David was waiting for Stef and Mike to arrive in the hangar. He wondered what ship they'd take.

"Probably a NE flagged medium cruiser.." David muttered to himself, "Mike does like that class of ship......I wonder if Joe Kowalski will be on that ship? His brother Mike did see to that..."

Zen: "Transit time to destination now one hour, twenty-seven minutes and six-point-three-five seconds."

Avon sat alone on the flight deck of the Liberator. He had been calculating every possible scinario and trap that could be waiting for them on Klatooine and was certain he and Villa could circumvent them all. They had been traveling for almost thirty hours and Avon was reasonably suprised that they hadn't been intercepted by Remnant ships. Despite of the state of the Empire, the Remnant still held Avon and Villa's capture a high priority and only the total destruction of the Remnant would assure their freedom.

Avon: "Zen, give me a full scan. Three-sixty orbital."

The onboard computer obediently displayed the surrounding area on the viewer. Nothing could be seen except stars and nebulae. A short while passed before Zen responded,

Zen: "Sensors detect no abnormal activity."

Avon: "Well, at least now I can have some rest." He pressed the intercom, "Villa, get up here. Its your watch now."

Villa: "What? I have only just gone to sleep."

Avon: "You've had the last twenty-four hours to sleep. Get up here will you."

The response was somewhat vague but it sounded like Villa was muttering to himself. Avon got up to leave but was then interupted by Zen,

Zen: "Data amendmant. Forward scanners have detected a large unidentified object heading for a collision course."

Any fatigue Avon was feeling suddenly vanished as he ran back to his console,

Avon: "Give me visual!"

The viewer flickered but nothing was visable.

Avon: "Zen confirm sensor contact."

Zen: "Sensor contact confirmed. Object will impact the Liberator in forty-five seconds."

Just then, Villa entered the flight deck,

Villa: "What's going on? I thought you were going to rest."

Avon: "Zen has picked up an object on a collision course but I can't identify it!"

Villa: "A missile?"

Avon: "It's too large for any convential missile. It must be a ship but the visual scanners can't pick it up."

Zen: "Impact now thirty seconds."

Villa's predictable panic soon broke in,

Villa: "Well do something! I don't want to die out here!"

Avon: "Neither do I! Zen, plot an evasion course NOW!"

The Liberator veered away but was suddenly caught by a flash from blaster fire. It struck amidships and the Liberator was pushed off course. It didn't get very far when a large, black, spidery looking ship suddenly de-cloaked and locked on a tractor beam. It's surface looked as organic as skin and the general shaped was as if it were something from a nightmare.

On the flight deck, Avon and Villa were picking themselves up as sparks and explosions popped from almost every console. Avon rushed over to the weapon control,

Avon: "Zen! Damage report!"

Zen: "Propulsion and defensive screens are off-line. Auto repair systems are amending. Liberator is being suspended in a magnetic snare beam."

Villa looked at Avon, desperately hoping he had a solution. But nothing could help them now as three individuals suddenly materialised onto the flight deck. Avon raised his weapon but it didn't work. Villa simply fell to the floor with suprise. The leading figure stepped forward. He, like his associates were dressed all in black and they all had hoods which masked their faces,

Leader: "We are the diciples of Tak'a-Tamen. Our master, Kartion will want to talk to you."

Before either of them could respond, Avon and Villa were knocked down by stun beam. Their unconcious bodies were soon taken back to the attacking ship, which ubruptly left, leaving the Liberator adrift in space.

The sensors on Lord JWolf's Sith fighter went nuts and the computer send a message to Lord JWolf. The computer has been searching the data on the Black Sun and the Hutt after Lord JWolf landed.

Black Sun has a base on this planet. said the computer.

Andrew, the Black Sun has a base here. Do you want me to go? said Lord JWolf to Andrew using the Force.

Go. I'll deal with Kartion. Andrew sent back.

Go. I'll deal with Kartion. Andrew sent back.

See you later. Lord JWolf send back.

"I think I will let y'all to talk things over." said Lord JWolf as he walk back into he came from. He jumped out of the window and land in front of the three boys.

"Boys, do you want to help me in something?" said Lord JWolf.

"Sure." said Erik.

"What can we do?" Eamonn asked.

"What can we do?" Eamonn asked.

"Help me take on a Black Sun base." said Lord JWolf as he walk over to his Sith fighter.

He got out three Knight's Armament SR-25 sniper rifles & 15 clips and walk back over to the boys.

"This base has three doors. One in the front and the other two on each side. I need y'all to get in front of each door. On the roofs on the building around it and shot to hurt anyone that comes out of the doors." said Lord JWolf as he put the Knight's Armament SR-25 sniper rifles on the ground.

"Umm right," Eamonn said, looking over at the other two.

"Get at rifle & five clips and follow me." said Lord JWolf as he slowly walk toward the base.

Erik pick the rifle and five clips and followed Lord JWolf.

'Well it's different,' Eamonn quietly thought to himself, picking up the rifle and five clips, before following JWolf.

"So who are these people?" Eamonn then asked.

"Why do I need a rifle?" Odcal asked, but picked it up anyway, with the 5 clips.

"So who are these people?" Eamonn then asked.

"Chudda the Hutt's crime organization. Chudda is the one that placed a bounty on Daniel's head." said Lord JWolf as they walk down an alley.

"Why do I need a rifle?" Odcal asked, but picked it up anyway, with the 5 clips.

"To shot people. I'm going into the sun roof and as people come out shot them in their legs." said Lord JWolf.

-------

"Everybody the base is about block away. Erik, you stay walk with me. Eamonn, you go to the right and get on the roof of a building call Oboh's Bar. Odacal, you go to the left and get on the roof of a building called Tarf's Hotel." said Lord JWolf.

“Ok.” said Erik.

Lord JWolf and Erik head towards a building called Xelfwob's Shop.

Eamonn nodded and headed to the right to find a way up to the roof. This seemed strange to him as he set up on the roof. The young boy guessed that he probably wasn't the first to snipe people from the roof of this bar.

Tavaana the Dug is the leader of this base. He is a more potent alien than the last guy was, and won't take no for an answer.

-----

Odcal went to the roof, not really wanting to do any sniping...

Lord JWolf and Erik to the back of Xelfwob's Shop.

Lord JWolf got Erik's robe and jump to the roof.

Erik set up the rifle and Lord JWolf waited for the right time to act.

Lord JWolf saw two guards on the roof of the Black Sun's base.

"Erik, take them out." said Lord JWolf.

Erik shot both in the head but nobody hear the gun. Because of the silencers on them.

OOC: Read the names backwards of the places but the 's will be at the end.

Everybody get ready. said Lord JWolf to the boys using the Force.

With a running jump, Lord JWolf landed on the roof of Black Sun's base and walk over to the sun roof. He looked in and saw a meeting hall.

Got a good idea. thought Lord JWolf as he walk over to one of the guards that Erik shot.

He put some blood on his hand then wiped it on his mouth.

Now, it is time to act. thought Lord JWolf as he walk back over to the sun roof.

He pulled both lightsabers and jump in. Glass went everywhere and the men ,in the meeting hall, jump back.

Lord JWolf active both of his lightsabers.

"Take me to your leader." said Lord JWolf with blood on his mouth.

"He's your master?" I said coldly. "No wonder why he left. Dumped me like a hot potato...who are you, really?"

"Why, I'm sure your father knows me, somewhat." The man smirked. "I'm Jared Noren."

--------



"Kartion. Why not?" Andrew asked. "What do you have planned?"

Andrew knew that he will have to do what he can to stop whatever scheme Kartion's planning. If it means to fight him...so be it.

"Something big my old friend. It's my masterpiece, my call to fame, my...path to controlling Klatooine..."

"Something big my old friend. It's my masterpiece, my call to fame, my...path to controlling Klatooine..."
"Karton...you've become quite greedy since the last time I saw you." Andrew said, as his lightsaber sprang to life. "It's time I showed you the folly of messing with me and my son! Now, where...is...he?!"

"I'm...not...going...to...tell...you!" Kartion said, activating his Staff. "And anyway, it's not that greedy is it, in retrospect to my late father or Palpatine, is it?"

Andrew attacked in answer, his green blade a blur of energy as he aimed for Kartion's leg.

Kartion parried, piroetted (sp) and jumped off the wall, attacking downwards as he flew over Andrew.

Andrew whirled and blocked the downward strike and increased the tempo of his attacks.

Kartion increased the tempo of his parries.

"C'mon Andrew! You dissapoint me! I always held you in such high esteem!"

Kartion increased the tempo of his parries.

"C'mon Andrew! You dissapoint me! I always held you in such high esteem!"
"You should not have come back, Kartion." Andrew smirked as he continued to strike at his old friend, as if it were a regular sparring match.

Lord JWolf jumped off the table and landed in front of guy in the meeting hall.

"Take me to your leader." said Lord JWolf.

"No. I will not, f***ing Jedi." said the guy in front of Lord JWolf.

Lord JWolf swung his lightsabers toward the man's neck and waist.

As the blades leave the body, the man's head fell to the ground followed by his chest. Lord JWolf looked over to the other men.

They're both unarmed and I'm by the only exit. thought Lord JWolf.

Lord JWolf deactive his lightsabers and put them on his belt.

"What does that compter do?" asked Lord JWolf.

"Anything you want it to do." said the man in the computer chair.

"Good. Now, log on and give me a map of this base." said Lord JWolf as he pulled one of his Colt Single-action Army Revolvers.

"Why?" said the other guy by the computer.

"Because I will do this do you." said Lord JWolf. A bullet flies out of the revolver and hit the man in the knee.

"Ok. I....will..dooo it." said the man in the computer chair as he was pissing his pants.

Using the Force Lord JWolf move the table in front of the door then walk over to computer.

After five mins, ever thing was on a datapad.

"Thanks." said Lord JWolf as he gagged the two men and handcuffed to their chairs.

The table move back into its spot and Lord JWolf walk out of the door and it locked.

Eamonn waited atop the bar for someone to come out.

As Lord JWolf walks down a hall will hi head looking down, a hand on place on his shoulder.

"Who are you?" asked the guard.

Lord JWolf turn around and look up.

"I'm your worse nightmare." said Lord JWolf as he punched the guard in his chest. Lord JWolf's right hand went into his chest and pull the guard’s heart out.

The guard hits the ground and Lord JWolf throw the heart at another guard. That guard ran towards the right door.

Other guards ran to the exits. Five guards going to the right door and five guards going to the front door. The left door was blocked.

Lord JWolf picks up the guard’s staff and heads to the boss's office.

The guards saw the Jedi and pulled out their blasters, shooting at him and hollering for the boss to get out of there.

The Dug, however, was ready for the Jedi. He pulled out a cortorsis vibrosword, and then ran for the other side of his office, towards a secret exit. The Dug smirked as he felt that even if he was trapped, he could give any Jedi a run for his money.

Lord JWolf through the staff like a spear at the two guards on the left side of the hall. The staff went in them like it was hot knife cutting butter.

Lord JWolf send the other two guards flying into the wall behind them at 60 mph using a Force Wave.

Lord JWolf kick the door in of the boss's office.

"Dug, you are coming with me." said Lord JWolf as he walk into the office.

--------------

Meanwhile, the five guards running from Lord JWolf. Came out in the front and where stop by ten shot in the kneecaps.

"(Not on your life, slimeball!)" Tavaana yelled in Huttese and brandished his vibrosword. "(How I've longed to soak my blade in a Jedi! Perhaps you are the one!)"

"(Not on your life, slimeball!)" Tavaana yelled in Huttese and brandished his vibrosword. "(How I've longed to soak my blade in a Jedi! Perhaps you are the one!)"

"Ok. The hard way." said Lord JWolf pulling one of his Colt Single-action Army Revolvers. He shot one time at the vibrosword near the handle.

OOC: Lord JWolf is a gun fighter over a sword fighter.

"(Aaugh! You fool!)" The Dug was mad, and launched himself at the Jedi, using his natural quickness to dodge the aim.

"(Aaugh! You fool!)" The Dug was mad, and launched himself at the Jedi, using his natural quickness to dodge the aim.

Lord JWolf jump to the right and send medium Force lightning at the dug with his left hand. And put his revolver up with his right hand then pulling one of his lightsabers and active it.

"Aaaaaugh!" The Dug yelled as he was struck by the lightning. "(You...fool...)"

"Aaaaaugh!" The Dug yelled as he was struck by the lightning. "(You...fool...)"

"Did you just call me a fool? You're the fool." said Lord JWolf.

Using the Force, Lord JWolf griped the Dug's legs and turning him upside down then started make the Dug move to left then to right.

"(No...nonononono!)" The Dug cried out.

New Exodus OOC:
Name: Michael Haase

Title/Rank: Colonial Commander (the benevolent dictator of New Exodus, but with limited powers)

Age: Appears to be no older than 20 standard years, but is actually in his late thirties, thanks to Crystal Ireland's magic.

Appearance: At 5'10", he has a fighter-pilot's build (compact but slender) and a deeply tanned complexion. Dark brown hair, cut short, and brown eyes. Often wears a New Exodus officer's uniform, which is black with gold trim.

Skills: As the leader of a space-faring nation, Michael is first and foremost a diplomat. However, his background as an officer in the New Exodus Fleet has given him excellent piloting and command abilities. In a direct combat situation, he relies on his marksmanship with rifles, his stealh, and his knife-fighting talent.

Equipment: All the usual stuff you'd expect a future-tech character to have, including a personal holocomm, wristcomp, etc. His usual weapons are a PEP pistol (non-lethal concussive energy burst), laser rifle, and an extendable cortosis vibroblade.

Crystal Ireland OOC:

Name: Stefini Rae Weisel

Title/Rank: Queen of Crystal Ireland (the queen is actually the heir to the throne, which is held by the Queen-Mother.)

Age: Like Michael, she is kept youthful by the magic of Crystal Ireland, but is also in her late thirties. Because she has received more exposure to the magic, Stefini looks like she is 17.

Appearance: 5'4" with a slender body and pale skin. She has beautiful hair of mottled gold, blond, and brown, making some people refer to her as a "calico." Green eyes, behind glasses. She is usually seen in long gowns, in shorts & a spagetti strap top, or in a robe with a tight fitting but well armored jumpsuit.

Skills: Being of the royal family of Crystal Ireland never stopped Stefini from veturing out into her world. She is always interested in her nation's people and their well-being. In battle against other magic users (or just those made of magic) she can be very helpful, being able to sense when magic was being used or when a magical being is nearby. She is also quite handy with bladed weapons.

Equipment: Stefini's equipment are NOT what you'd expect the next in line to rule should carry. In addition to her pendant communicator (only New Exodus can contact her through it), she carries two Egyption daggers on her thighs, a lightweight but sturdy sword on her back (only when she's NOT in a gown), and a small blaster pistol in her boot (only for emergincies and for when Michael picks on her for her spelling)

New Exodus again
Since CI rarely actually posts, I'll be handling most of the posts for her. (And my spelling is better) *whack* I deserved that.

IC:

In the space of an eye-blink, ten New Exodus vessels appeared in high orbit over Yavin 4. At the bridge of the lead ship, Commander Haase and Queen Stefini prepared to disembark.
"Sir, the reactors are close to critical. You'll have to go in by shuttle."

Yavin IV's defense force was on high alert at the sudden appearance of the fleet.

We request to know what your intentions are, unknown fleet.

David was waiting for Mike Hasse and Stefini. He tapped his watch and stamped his foot. David, a very punctual man, expects everyone to be on time, but once he knows the reason he's fine. Mike and Stef are ten minutes late.

OOC: Mike, check the witch hunt thread.

Yavin IV's defense force was on high alert at the sudden appearance of the fleet.

We request to know what your intentions are, unknown fleet.

David, hearing the comotion, commlinked the Air Defense HQ.
"This is Jedi Master David Miles. Don't shoot. They're allies bringing a few friends I invited down."

"(No...nonononono!)" The Dug cried out.

"Do you give up?" asked Lord JWolf as the Dug started doing fast 360.

David, hearing the comotion, commlinked the Air Defense HQ.
"This is Jedi Master David Miles. Don't shoot. They're allies bringing a few friends I invited down."
"All right."

They allowed the ships up there to pass.

-------

"(Yes...yes!)" The Dug was sobbing now.

"(Yes...yes!)" The Dug was sobbing now.

"Ok." said Lord JWolf as the Dug was place on the floor. Using the Force, Lord JWolf held the Dug on the ground and put up his lightsaber. Then he tied the Dug's arms together with rope.

"Now, you are coming with me." said Lord JWolf as he put the Dug on his shoulder.

Boys, get out of here. said Lord JWolf to the boys using the Force.

-----

Erik took off jumping for rooftop to rooftop. After he jump to three rooftops, he land in an alley. He head back to the building that Daniel was at.

Odcal left the rifle where JWolf could pick it up and headed with Erik to the building.

Lord JWolf walk over to the meeting hall and smiled a the two men by the computer.

He step up on the table and jump back up the sun roof. He land and look around and saw the rifle on the left building.

With a running jump he land on the left building and picked the rifle up. He walk to the back of the building and jump off into the alley behind building.

Lord JWolf head towards Andrew location.

After five mins have passed, Lord JWolf is back to Sith fighter.

Andrew, got two present for you. More data on the Black Sun and a leader of the Black Sun. Got him hogtied and I watch him. said Lord JWolf to Andrew using the Force as he put the Dug by his Sith fighter.

Erik is pulling up the rifles back in cargo hold of Lord JWolf's Sith fighter.

OOC: Will not be on for three days. It is the first weekend of hunting season. Will be back on Monday.

Eamonn climbed down from the roof and headed back to the building with the other two.

Above Yavin 4
The shuttle boosted down into the moon's gravity well, and even against the acceleration, the passengers could feel themselves being pulled forward. In the pilot's seat was Commander Haase, and at his side was Queen Stefini.

"So beautiful," she breathed, "I've never seen a world with so much green... and that sunset!"

Indeed, just slipping away over the horizon was Yavin's star, which combined with a number of atmospheric effects to create the fabled sunsets of Yavin 4.

"Yes, Ma'am!" Kowalski chimed in from the back, "Commandant Miles once told me and my brother about it."

Kowalski was the only member of the security personnel they had been willing to take. As Michael had explained, "If we aren't safe on a planet full of Jedi, we aren't safe anywhere."

The shuttle landed in the hanger and David welcomed the three. Queen Stefini and Mike were first, followed by Kowalski, arms full, carrying only some of Stef's luggage. David floated it all in order to help his friend's brother. Kowalski looked relieved and David greeted the three.
"So, how was thr trip? Pleasant I hope...and Mike, we have you and Stef a nice room as well as the newest HALO game...but that's supposed to be secret...its in beta at the moment."

Michael smiled and clapped his friend on the back, which was unexpected enough to cause David to nearly drop the levitating bags. Then Michael turned serious, "Where's the young Cassanova run off to?" David looked a little confused, then realized that Mike had been referring to the younger Miles. David grinned with what very well could have been pride, "Chip off the 'ole block, ain't he?"

"Oh, Mike's a lot like you were at that age....He's currently off-world with his love...Just like you at that age...." David begins laughing and Mike joins in. Stef didn't hear everything and hears them laughing. She automatically assumes they said something wrong and shoots at their feet. David starts jumping and then activates his lightsaber, deflecting the bolts.

"What was that for Stef?" David asked, indignant.

Stef smiled evilly, or, she tried to look evil, but it didn't work that well. "Since your wife isn't here, I figured I should fill in for her to keep you in line. How is she, anyway?"

"She's fine. We just finished dinner and I decided to drop by here. For some reason, she wanted to stay back..."

IC:
The four of them make it back to their rooms and David then shows Mike the new version of HALO.

OOC: ultra-lame-bump

lame bump

OOC: I'll post after school...for real!
